Waiting for the Next Ax Editor: When Humboldt State University’s Administration and its enabling Board of Trustees killed the football program and all local programming on the campus radio station, they thereby removed those economic and cultural benefits from our North Coast community (“‘Their Success is our Success,’” Oct. 8). Adding insult to injury, they scorned our opposition to these diminishments. With her job well done, the president of HSU rode off into the sunset with a six-figure retirement. The trustees ushered a man from out of state in to be the new president. Upon his arrival, he said all the right things. But comes the time of COVID when students were returning to campus from the farmore plague-infested southlands, this new president responded to Humboldt County’s public health official with indifference and rudeness that displayed autocratic contempt for our local concerns similar to his predecessor’s. Adding further insult to the injuries of program cancellations and COVID, HSU’s football facilities have been put back in use by a state university football team from the southlands where plague fears prevent them from practicing. Once again, this relocation of students from more infested areas proceeded without involvement of our local public health office.

This sequence of HSU events degrading the Humboldt ambience begins only after the April 15, 2017, still “unsolved” murder of Josiah Lawson. Thus, it is reasonable to propose the California State University system’s Board of Trustees — and its vast majority of southlanders — consider Humboldt home to “redneck injustice” and, therefore, unworthy of a football team to support and a local radio station to keep us informed. We are, however, in their eyes, deserving of collective punishment, disrespect and COVID. So don’t be surprised when the next lash of the whip arrives when the economic stresses of the plague enable the trustees’ closure of HSU. Alexander Ricca, Blue Lake

— J. Commander

recreation including trails, preserve area family farms and provide for open space maintenance and stewardship. The Arcata City Council authorized and acknowledge the benefits and value of Measure A in Resolution 190-68. The pandemic has brought into sharp focus the value of Arcata’s parks, trails and open spaces. Please vote yes on Measure A. Nancy Rehg, Arcata Editor: Thank you to the North Coast Journal for providing a synopsis of the nine measures on the ballot (“Maze of Measures,” Oct. 8). Including contrary views where organized opposition exists, which the Journal has done, is important for a fair result. If I may, I’d like to put in a word for passage of Measure H, the Eureka sales tax measure that would replace Measure Q passed in 2014. I’m so tight I have trouble tipping my hat, but it’s evident the city has a real need for revenue. As a sales tax, out of town shoppers will pay a portion of these monies to help maintain roads, social services and public safety. Vote yes on H. John Dillon, Eureka Editor: This is why we should vote YES for Measure F: 1) The Arcata Fire District covers a very large 62-square-mile area and protects 37,000 people in the five communities of McKinleyville, Manila, Bayside, Jacoby Creek and Arcata. 2) Under California law, the Fire District must be funded by property taxes. The district is not allowed to charge sales taxes. So using a sales tax to fund the Fire District is not an option. 3) The district can’t pay its bills because it’s been 14 years since the last tax increase. I must ask the question; who can afford to pay bills in 2020 with what they earned in 2006? 4) Measure F will enable the district to restore eight firefighter positions and reopen all three fire stations. Please join me in voting yes for Measure F! Randy Mendosa, Arcata

Editor: A common phrase we hear these days is “we’re all in this together,” which is pertinent to why we need to support Measure F. Fire protection and first responder services are essential public safety measures key to a healthy community. The Arcata Fire Protection District has made cogent arguments for why this minimal tax is necessary to bring back, and protect, the level of services needed to meet our community needs, as well as California regulatory obligations. The cost of a few lattes per month should not deter our support. When we can finally meet and greet at our local coffee shop, let’s toast our firefighters and the Arcata Fire Protection District. Vote yes on Measure F. John Woolley, Manila Editor: I invite you to join me in re-electing Estelle Fennell for Second District supervisor. I am honored that Estelle has chosen to continue to work tirelessly for all of us. It’s easy to point fingers, see things in black and white and put on Estelle’s shoulders complex problems and issues that go way beyond her scope. There are local, state and federal constraints that she has to negotiate. She serves us with her intelligence, her ability to listen, work as a team with others and her basic good character. Estelle has fostered amazing contacts on all levels of government and business. This is a crucial time in our community. Let’s let Estelle’s experience and willingness lead the way. She will have quite the positive legacy to pass on to the next willing candidate. But for now let’s give her our support to go as far as she can in serving our district. It is a rare moment that I feel represented by someone I feel a kindred connection … she is one of us. Let’s let her do her job! Joan Becker, Briceland Editor: Thank you Joellen Clark-Peterson, for being willing to throw your hat into the ring for the McKinleyville Community Services District board’s two-year position. I watched the the League of Women Voters candidate forum for MCSD candidates and I’m

very proud of you! So few young working people are willing to delve into the details of community infrastructure and planning, but you certainly demonstrated being a fast learner on our most important issues. You didn’t miss a beat. Your poise, warmth, good sense and genuine eagerness for public service are delightful. You will be a great addition to the other directors who already know the scene but could use a fresh creative perspective to help them think outside the box in these unprecedented times. You’re a definite go-getter, networker and community builder. McKinleyville needs you. And I’m telling all my friends to vote for you. Again, thanks for being a MCSD candidate. Kate McClain, McKinleyville Editor: Three school board candidates, all connected to the same family business, despite their lack of previous involvement in educational oversight, are proposing we simply ignore the coronavirus. So please vote for the candidates who are truly showing concern for everyone involved in our schools and our county. Candidates who have been actively involved in those schools. Candidates whose professional lives have been spent working with students and teachers. Candidates who have served on the school board, worked with at-risk students, ran a preschool, regularly attended school board meetings, wrote successful grants and showed up at the public forums. Candidates who are not “one-issue” but instead have put in decades working with students and understanding the needs and wishes of our teachers. Simply put, please vote for Aristea Saulsbury and Cedric Aaron for NHUSD board members, and Nicholas Som for McKinleyville USD board member. Alan Sanborn, Arcata Editor: This week The FBI and Michigan State Police arrested and charged six militia members for conspiring to kidnap and execute Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Rather than denouncing these militant criminals, the president of the United States tweeted that Whitmer has been doing a “terrible job.” Instead of humanely calling to ask if she and her family were OK, Trump attacks her by tweeting and calling for the jailing of Biden and Obama. This is an appalling, escalating trend. In April this year Trump tweeted, “Liberate Michigan.” In May, when armed militia members stormed the state capitol, he wrote, “These are very good people.”

During the presidential debate of Sept. 29, rather than condemning militia hate groups, he urged them to “stand back and stand by.” Republicans, we need you — we need all of us — to speak out and denounce lawless violence. Peter Jain, Trinidad

New state ‘equity metric’ pushes Humboldt into less restrictive COVID-19 category, at least for now

Email us Here:

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

hen the state announced Oct. 6 that Humboldt County was going to be upgraded in California’s tiered COVID-19 risk assessment, it was cause for celebration in many circles. After all, the news means shopping centers can re-open common areas and restaurants can increase dine-in capacity to 50 percent, while movie theaters and gyms could similarly begin serving more people. The county’s new “yellow” (Tier 4) status in the state’s color-coded system also means museums and the local zoo can lift capacity limits entirely, while churches can begin filling up to 50 percent of their pews. Perhaps the biggest change is the new tier allows bars and breweries that don’t serve meals to resume indoor operations, also at 50 percent capacity. But health officials have been quick to caution that Humboldt County’s margin for error is razor thin and even a small spike in local cases could thrust the county back into the state’s more restrictive orange tier (Tier 3) or beyond. “That can change with one large outbreak,” Health Officer Teresa Frankovich

said at a media availability the day after Humboldt’s status change. “We really need everybody to stay on board with what they’ve been doing because it’s working.” Frankovich is not wrong, as Humboldt County’s COVID-19 case numbers have fallen sharply in recent weeks. While the county confirmed 85 new cases through the first two weeks of September, it had confirmed 22 over the first 13 days of October as the Journal went to press. But a careful combing of the numbers at play in the state formula also shows that Humboldt County’s position is precarious and its change in status was only made possible by a new state “equity metric.” The state’s four-tier risk structure dictating what can reopen where and when relies almost exclusively on two metrics: testing positivity rate and the average number of new cases confirmed daily per 100,000 residents. Both metrics are tracked over the course of a week to determine what category a county falls in. Yellow requires a county to see fewer than one new case daily per 100,000 residents with a test positivity rate of less than 2 percent. For orange, counties need to have an average of fewer than four daily cases per 100,000

residents and a test positivity rate below 5 percent. Red (Tier 2) requires counties to have fewer than seven daily new cases per 100,000 in population and a positivity rate of less than 8 percent. Counties seeing more than seven new cases daily per 100,000 residents or a positivity rate of 8 percent land in the purple tier (Tier 1), the state’s most restrictive. Together, the two metrics are aimed at determining how overall caseloads are growing in a county and the degree to which the disease is being identified, as higher testing positivity rates are an indication that the virus may be moving undetected through a community. Generally, a county can only be upgraded to a less restrictive tier if both its measures fall within that tier’s thresholds for three consecutive weeks. But if a county’s measures fall within those of a more restrictive tier for two consecutive weeks, its status is downgraded and additional restrictions put in place. Since the state unveiled the new system in September, Humboldt County has spent much of its time in the upper Continued on next page »

reaches of the orange tier, mostly due to the rate at which it was confirming new cases. Frankovich has said the state gives some leeway to counties on the cusp, and it appears Humboldt County has benefited from that at times, as it had averages of 4.34 and 4.02 daily confirmed cases per 100,000 residents for consecutive seven-day periods in early September, but was never vaulted into the red tier, likely because the county’s testing positivity rate — around 1.5 percent — has remained well below the state average. But the county was also simply nowhere close to falling into the yellow tier. That is, until the state released its equity metric just as local caseloads began trending sharply downward. Designed to address the higher rates of disease and critical outcomes in minority communities, the state’s equity metric attempts to tie a county’s movement through the risk tiers to the spread of disease in its most at-risk populations. To do that, the state is looking at the Health Place Index, which ranks census tracts under 14 health measures, giving them a score between 1 and 100 to measure their local health conditions, with 100 being more healthy and 1 less. The state’s equity metric is complex and shifts based on what risk tier a county falls into, but basically requires that a county’s “at risk” census tracts — those with an index score lower than 25 — don’t lag measurably behind its overall numbers when looking at testing positivity rates. In Humboldt County, the only two areas that fall into that at-risk category are Hoopa and the southeastern area of the county around Blocksburg. Testing has been made widely available in both areas, with a massive effort to test all Hoopa residents following a large outbreak there in early August and the county holding numerous testing days in Southern Humboldt using its OptumServe facility, which county officials have successfully mobilized despite its original intent to be a stationary site. Because the test positivity rate was below 2 percent in those areas (likely because of proactive testing efforts), the state allowed Humboldt to move into the less restrictive yellow tier even though its daily average of confirmed new cases was two per 100,000 residents — double the state’s threshold. While that makes the county’s newfound status seem precarious, there are some reasons for optimism. The state’s tiered system operates on a two-week delay, meaning the tiers announced Oct. 6 were based on data from the week ending Sept. 26, which offers us a peek into the future.

Humboldt County’s daily case averages dropped in the two seven-day periods following Sept. 26 — to 1.8 cases per 100,000 residents for the week ending Oct. 3 and 1.16 for the week ending Oct. 10. Through one lens, that makes Humboldt’s status seem fairly secure for the coming weeks, as it would need to exceed the thresholds for two consecutive weeks before falling into a more restrictive category. But through another lens, that’s all contingent on the exemption allowed by the equity metric, meaning a spike in testing positivity rates in either Hoopa or Southern Humboldt could change the county’s status in a hurry. Local health officials have taken a cautious tone when discussing the county’s new yellow status, probably in large part because they realize that with a county of approximately 135,000 residents and a disease that can spread exponentially, things can change in a hurry and the actions of even a single household or business can have reverberating impacts. After all, Frankovich has said Humboldt County’s status would not have been lowered to yellow had it had a daily average of more than 2 new cases per 100,000 residents, which is exactly what it was averaging the week ending Sept. 26. If that’s accurate, just one additional case confirmed that week would have caused Humboldt’s bars to remain closed. For context, last month the county traced 30 cases over the span of a couple weeks back to a single social gathering in Southern Humboldt. During her recent media availability, Frankovich conceded this puts some business owners in a difficult position, having to make staffing and hiring decisions without knowing at what capacity they’ll be able to operate just a couple of weeks down the road, if they’re still allowed to operate at all. “I’m certainly aware of concerns about investing in inventory and infrastructure and additional staffing and all those pieces that may go along with adding, for instance, indoor operations to an outdoor operation, and I do think that business owners need to really put some thought into … with our margin [for error] so small,” she said. “If we were sitting well below two on our case rate, I’d feel more confident but … it does not take much to push us above that number.” ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

GUEST VIEWS

A Plea for Understanding By Mitch Trachtenberg views@northcoastjournal.com

grew up in a neighborhood in Queens, New York, which was probably about a quarter Jewish, a quarter Catholic, a quarter Protestant and a quarter other. I didn’t realize what a tiny minority Jews were until I left New York. And I never had people react with surprise when I told them I was Jewish until I moved to Humboldt County, 30 years ago. We are in a polarized and polarizing election season. Like most people I know, I find myself having a hard time accepting the number of seemingly-otherwise-decent people who are not horrified by the prospect of Trump being reelected. I teeter between a desire to simply shout them down and write them out of my life, and a desire to understand how they can be what they are. And I assume that, for at least some Trump supporters, they are similarly confused by the revulsion he inspires. In our society, there is a dividing line that is not often talked about. It is not the obvious dividing line of race or gender. It is a dividing line between those who have always been “standard” and those who are in some way or other “nonstandard.” Those are not meant as judgments — neither standard nor nonstandard should imply better or worse than the other. They are merely meant as descriptors. I’m nonstandard in two substantial ways, one more evident than the other — I’m Jewish and I’m gay. If you are straight, white, male, descended from European immigrants, nominally Christian and not homeless, you are more-or-less standard. That is, if a 1950s dictionary put up a picture labeled “an American,” it would probably be someone who looked like you and had a similar background. America is a diverse country but it still has this standard/nonstandard divide in experiences. If you are a Native American, you know what was done to your people; if you are Black, you know what was done to yours. If you are a woman, you know, at minimum, that until recently it was harder for you to gain entry into various professions than it would have been if you’d been a man. If you are a person of color, or an immigrant, or a woman, or queer, or of a non-Christian faith or no faith, or have suffered extreme poverty or home-

lessness, you are “nonstandard.” The world looks different if you are standard than it does if you are nonstandard. White gay men who grew up in the ’70s, like I did, had a very unusual vantage point from which to see both sides of the divide, because we spent time “in the closet” and could see the way many people talked about “homos” when they didn’t know one was around, versus when they knew. For many Jews, the experience was similar, since Jewishness isn’t as obvious as skin color. It wasn’t pretty. Here’s what I can say: I do not think straight, Christian, white men are evil. I do think, in general, they have a different perspective on the world than the perspective I have. They think things are, more or less, fair because they are not forced to see the unfairness. Sometimes, some of them think the complaints from the nonstandards are just whining, or demands for special, exceptional treatment. Sometimes, for some of them, calls for reparations sound invented and crazy. They don’t sound crazy to me. Sometimes, for some of them, they think all you need to do to get ahead is to work hard and play by the rules. I know that to be untrue, as does every nonstandard person. There are a lot of lazy, cheating fuckers who, being standard, make it; try being a lazy, cheating fucker and nonstandard, and you’ll sooner or later get caught. And there are a ton of nonstandards who work hard, play by the rules and get nowhere. Standards, too, but I think that’s more likely for us nonstandards. Do I think straight white Christian men in Humboldt have had an easy go of life? Absolutely not. If I’d been a logger, and saw my work shrink to the point of disappearing, I’d be angry. Most likely, I’d pick the target that those in power invited me to pick — the environmentalists. If I’d had no opportunity to go to college and saw affirmative action “reserving” slots, it might make me angry as well. There’s no question in my mind that large numbers of straight white Christian men are as shafted by our system as the nonstandards. But it’s still a different experience, because you’re still standard. In some ways, it might feel even worse: You’re in the category everyone thinks is a breeze, and you know

from personal experience or that of your parents that it’s not a breeze at all. But you still don’t necessarily understand what it’s like to be nonstandard. My mother summed it up for me a few decades ago, when I was complaining to her that someone was angry at me for my having called out some comparatively innocuous racism they displayed: “Of course they don’t get it — you’re Jewish, they’re not.” She could as easily have said, “You’re gay, they’re not,” or “You’re Black, they’re not” or “You’re a woman, they’re not.” So. Along comes Trump. Does anyone honestly think Trump would be president if he’d been born Black or female or with an inheritance of $20? Personally, I think he’d almost certainly be in prison. Trump, in my opinion, is to standard as standard is to nonstandard. He was born a millionaire but clearly doesn’t emotionally understand that he was born already on third base. He is the ultimate purveyor of the standard attitude that if you’re not getting what you want, it’s your own damned fault. His message has resonance among the standard, and none among us nonstandards. When I see Trump gassing peaceful protesters for a photo op with a Bible, I’m reminded that the world’s “most civilized” nation, in which many Jews thought they’d become assimilated into the larger society, killed 6 million of us, after one insane, narcissistic prick grabbed onto power, and many Germans just went about their business — they were the standards, and life went on. It’s absolutely not just hypothetical to me. So here’s my plea, first to the nonstandards, including myself: Yes, by all means fight against the turn to fascism our country is now taking but when people you know don’t even see it, try to understand that it’s because of their own experiences. I don’t know how you bring them along, but what you see as obvious refusal to see the obvious is a result of their environment and experiences. Most nonstandard people can experience being standard in some way. For many standard people, the experience of being nonstandard is, I believe, completely alien. Try to have sympathy for their resulting lack of understanding. And to the standard: It is hard to admit

that your successes are not solely a result of what you’ve done but are also, in some part, a result of your category and the support you’ve had by virtue of being standard. Your country will not become a communist dictatorship when it recognizes that health care is a human right. It will not destroy you to compete on a level playing field with those who have not had your advantages, even the advantages you never noticed you had, like your white skin or your maleness or the religion your parents handed you or your majority sexuality. And, if you have been screwed by the system, the enemy is not the environmentalists who have tried to keep all of America from being clearcut for profit, or the “leftists” who have advocated for unions and women’s rights and Social Security and Obamacare. The enemy is not some person who is saying “Black Lives Matter” — those who say that are not trying to imply that your life does not matter, they are responding to the fact that for far too long, some police have acted as if Black lives don’t matter. The enemy is not someone whose religion is different than yours, but who seeks the same compassion and kindness that Jesus preached, only without seeing a god in the way you may. The enemy is not some gay person who would like to celebrate the love they’ve been fortunate enough to find, and get some legal support for that love. The enemy is the greediest, wealthiest few and those they hire to fight on their behalf, who know that they prosper when the rest of us are divided. The enemy is narrow-mindedness, which thinks that different means bad. The enemy, summed up, is Trump. And he knows better than anyone how to divide people and win. Please don’t let him. l Mitch Trachtenberg is a computer programmer and freelance writer who lives in Trinidad. Have something you want to get off your chest?

State Re-Certifies Needle Exchange Program, with Limitations

he Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction has been recertified by the state of California to provide needle exchange services in all of Humboldt County, with the exception of the city of Eureka, where the nonprofit is based. The state’s decision to recertify the controversial program comes after the Eureka City Council sent a letter to the Department of Public Health urging it not to recertify the nonprofit’s license, having voiced concerns that HACHR had failed to deliver operation reports to the city and been unresponsive to neighborhood concerns regarding needle litter. The city went so far as to launch an undercover police investigation into the nonprofit, which yielded allegations that HACHR was allowing onsite drug consumption and even sales. HACHR has denied the allegations and the police investigation did not result in the arrest of or criminal charges being brought against anyone stemming from alleged conduct on HACHR’s property. HACHR Executive Director Lasara Firefox Allen in a previous interview with

the Journal disputed the notion that staff would tolerate any onsite drug use or sales, adding that the organization had not been provided with any evidence collected by the Eureka Police Department. “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.” With the limited recertification from the state, HACHR can continue its operations in McKinleyville, Arcata, Fortuna, Willow Creek and Orick. And while the state certification doesn’t allow the nonprofit to do needle exchange in Eureka, it leaves the door open for the city to grant a local authorization to the nonprofit. The city — which has pledged support for needle exchange in general — has agreed to enter into mediation with HACHR to try to chart a course forward, Interim City Manager Miles Slattery told the Lost Coast Outpost.

California workplace safety agency’s response to COVID complaints: letters, not inspections By Jackie Botts/CalMatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

az Aguilar continued working seven days a week at two fast food restaurants and as a janitor, even as Oakland seemed to be grinding to a halt around her. Then in late June, her life did, too. By then two of her coworkers at a combo Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken joint stopped showing up to work — Aguilar said a manager told her they were on vacation — after one woman stayed home with a fever. Aguilar, 54, had spent hours rolling burritos within arm’s length of her. First Aguilar felt weak, dizzy and tired. Then, a severe cough and fever. A total of at least seven employees would fall ill with the virus, by her count. So would Aguilar’s sister-in-law. Three weeks into her illness, Aguilar had a stroke, which she attributes to the virus’ toll on her body. When she left the hospital a month later, one side of her body and face was paralyzed. She struggles to walk and talk. Her doctors say it may be a year before she fully recovers. On Sept. 4, Aguilar filed a com-

plaint with Cal/OSHA, the California Occupational Safety and Health Agency and the Alameda County Public Health Department. She alleged that her managers had failed to enforce mask-wearing or social distancing, and had hidden COVID-19 diagnoses from her and others. Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell did not respond to requests for comment. Aguilar said she filed the complaint so her coworkers wouldn’t have to go through what she has. “El riesgo sigue todo el tiempo,” she said — the risk continues. Aguilar said the county health department never followed up. Cal/OSHA’s response: a letter asking that the manager explain how the issues had been fixed. “The Division has not determined whether the hazard(s), as alleged, exist(s) at your workplace and, at this time, the Division does not intend to conduct an inspection of your workplace,” the letter reads. Cal/OSHA has sent a version of this letter to employers accused of not keep-

Frankie Goes it Alone

After months as a one-person operation, Frankie’s NY Bagels looks to sell By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

n Saturday, Frankie Baker turned on the lights at Frankie’s NY Bagels tucked behind the Turf Club at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds at 2 a.m. He came in an hour earlier than usual to manage the extra eight dozen bagels on pre-order. He worked in solitude for six hours — boiling and baking 40 dozen with dough prepared the day before, then labeling and alphabetizing the warm paper bags — before customers began trickling in to pick up their bagels. Since COVID-19 and shelter in place arrived in Humboldt in March, Baker has downsized to a one-person operation. His wholesale accounts — bars and restaurants that carried his bagels, bialys and bagel dogs — vanished and with them the need for employees. After getting a disaster relief loan, adopting a new schedule and a shifting the menu, the business is actually thriving, hitting the sweet spot of selling out of everything, meeting overhead and turning a profit. Which is why it’s a bit of a surprise he’s decided to sell Frankie’s NY Bagels and move on in January. Originally from Rochester, New York, Baker came to the North Coast to attend Humboldt State University, earning a degree in critical race, gender and sexuality. “I never planned on making bagels,” he says. “I wanted them, really, that’s the main motivation.” The craving for the style of bagel he’d grown up with led to experiments, then obsession in the kitchen at home until he’d nailed the recipe for the flavor and the bite he missed: a crisp, bubbly crust with a not-too-chewy interior.

It wasn’t until he returned from a visit to New York and ate a disappointing California bagel that Baker decided to give selling to the public a shot. As he started hunting for a kitchen in fall of 2016, he heard the spot at Redwood Acres — roughly 200 square feet with a small three-rack oven — had opened up and jumped on it. Since COVID, the routine has shifted. Instead of daily batches, Baker takes orders on Mondays for Wednesday pick-ups, and Thursdays and Fridays for Saturday pickups. Pick-up days mean early mornings but the rest of the week he rolls in between 6 and 7 a.m. to prep dough, cut bagel chips and bake desserts, including cheesecakes that can be made a day ahead, and swirled loaves of Jewish babka, something many of his customers hadn’t tasted before. On those days, without the steady flow of customers, he’s completely on his own. While the fruits of baking are often enjoyed socially (we call it breaking bread for a reason), the work itself can be a solitary practice, requiring precision and focus from people who live on early shift schedules apart from the 9-to-5 crowd. “You’re alone in the kitchen with your music,” says Baker, who says it suits his independent personality. “You get a rhythm down.” Working alone has been a boon not only in terms of the low overhead, but in terms of safety. Social distance would be impossible in the tiny bakery and some of his customers are older or have health vulnerabilities. “One customer,” says Baker, “he’s really sweet and he said, ‘I risk my life once a week to come here and get bagels.’” Baker says for that reason he sees only a couple

of friends and gets tested for COVID-19 monthly at the Redwood Acres site. Seeing his steady clientele is, despite the distraction from the precision of baking, the best part of pick-up days. That customers are similarly attached to Baker isn’t a shock — his charm aside, the bagels are a regional staple that feeds a small legion of homesick East Coasters and locals who’ve developed a taste for the style. The regulars have seen not only the evolution of the business but of Frankie’s life. Since opening four years ago this month, he’s been married, divorced and transitioned gender, all with the same faces showing up each week. With a laugh he says when be began his transition, he thought, “Are you really gonna do this while you’re starting your business?” But he’s gotten only respect and support from his customers, with a little endearingly awkward encouragement here and there. “I’ve only had a couple weird looks over four years — that’s amazing.” Baker says again and again, “I love my customers,” and that saying goodbye to them will be the hardest part of letting the business go. But it’s time. Baking is physically demanding work. It’s likely the repetitive motions of working with dough and machinery are what landed Baker the rotator cuff injury he’s nursed for a year. “It hurts, like every second of the day. It hurts to sleep. And I think over time I’m just getting used to the pain,” he says. Surgery would necessitate closing the shop for months while he recovers. Only a week ago, Baker was talking about pushing through the pain indefinitely. Maybe getting a street cart. But after

talking with a mentor, he reflected on how much he’s been putting into the business — financially, emotionally, physically — and whether it was still giving back what he wanted. Slowing down amid the pandemic may have helped him make the decision, though he says he feels a little guilty making a choice some struggling businesses don’t have. With his former employee newly employed elsewhere and no more accounts to service, there’s less to hold him back from possibly returning to school and pursuing social work or art again. “I’ve always known I was not going to do this forever. … I wanted to create this in this community. And I am thriving, so I want to pass it on to somebody … I feel proud of what I’ve done. I can’t even believe it.” Baker is optimistic about selling and feels it might be a good fit for a couple or a pair of partners, that someone could take his recipes and expand the business. “I want someone to take it and do what they want with it,” he says, even if that means tweaking his recipes, though that would be a shame. The decision is new enough that he hasn’t come to a price yet but he’s already organizing for the next owner, whoever they are. He’s willing to teach them the ropes, too, partly, he says with a chuckle, out of self-interest. “Hey, I’m gonna definitely go in there and buy bagels.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Yet, he found a way to cultivate his culture by turning to pencil, pad, and his paints. Teh-sa’a:n-xwe, a Yurok tribal member with Mvskoke and Hupa lineage is the author and illustrator of the Northern Howl book series. He shares his knowledge and imagination through a series of published children’s books, three books to date. This is a story of a wolf pup, named Vision, that loses his way and travels through dimensions of time to find his way home. It is a magical story filled with ancient

knowledge and imagination. In a brief interview, Teh-sa’a:nxwe was asked if he had heard Indigenous stories throughout his young life that guided him in his books. “Yes,” he replied, “But mostly I just watch animals and how they relate to things.” Young Cooper was also asked his favorite part about telling his story. “The pictures or illustrations,” he replied, “They come from inside me. I see the story first.” Like the blade of grass, Tehsa’a:n-xwe has found a way to push up out of the bonds of fear and isolation and enjoy the world around him. Nestled in the safety of his parents, grandparents and little sister Se:wenah, his daily walks in nature, gathering in the mountains, sports exercises on a small slab of cement with his dad and his classes on zoom; he flourishes and we all benefit.

IT’S PERSONAL

For Gerrianne Schulze, Died Aug. 22, 2020 By Janelle Egger

editor@northcoastjournal.com

met Gerrianne through a picture taken on a camera loaned to someone for a birthday party in the summer of 2015. That fall I looked over a pot of pasta at the Bayshore Mall parking lot Services Faire and asked her if she knew my friend. She didn’t say anything, just looked at me until I explained myself. In February in the Palco Marsh, where she lived, I was with Gerrianne as she talked with two officers who gave conflicting information about what she could keep there. It was where I met Max, her canine protector, and his mother Baby Girl. I went to her camp with the attorneys to talk about the Palco Marsh 11 lawsuit. Asked if she had a choice between money and another camp, she said “a camp,” of course. Gerrianne, like my mother, was the mother of five children. I don’t know much about that part of her life but I assume her family did not have a VA home loan, as my parents did at the end of World War II. When she became a single parent, I doubt she had what my mother found, a union job with benefits, including an attorney to do the paperwork to keep the house. I know at some point Gerrianne had training and worked in a care home as a certified nursing assistant. If she needed help making ends meet, I bet she was dealing with a system that saw only welfare cheaters. I first learned she was a mom as she was preparing to move from the marsh to the Blue Angel Village, shipping containers converted to temporary rooms. She was concerned about whether she, her son, Max and Baby Girl could all live in one small room. But at least there was a kennel available there some of the time. She showed me her pile of things, told me she could only take a few of them with her and wondered what would happen when her time was up at the containers. I happened to be in King Salmon the

day she moved, so went to visit. She had concerns about the trailer, pointing out how it was not much bigger than a tent. I think the person with her suggested she show me around. She showed me the stove and fridge and dishes, and again commented on the size of the trailer, this time compared to her camp near the Palco Marsh. She stayed at King Salmon, taking the bus to work after her car was towed for an out-of-date registration. When walking the mile to the bus and then home after work became difficult because of her lung problems, she arranged rides, sometimes with me. Then the home care work itself became too difficult. There were a couple times she needed money to fill a gap but she proudly repaid every loan. Her landlord in King Salmon told me she was a good tenant. Her neighbors did what they could and at some point she bailed one of them out of jail. Gerrianne didn’t know the person at the time — she just acted because someone she cared about asked her to. Perhaps my greatest regret is that I didn’t have time for the opening day drive-through line at the In-N-Out burger. We went elsewhere, if she was upset she didn’t say. She ordered the biggest burger meal on the menu, telling me to get something besides that scrawny little chicken thing and not balking when asked if she would share a couple fries. Some days later we had breakfast together, she ordered some sides instead of a combo plate. The look on her face when two full-size plates were placed before her, one loaded with potatoes and huge biscuits on the other, was great fun. She ate some, was eating some as I left her that evening and some was still there when I came to help transport her things the next morning. She was struggling mightily to live. She feared long term care; mentioned a

co-worker at the care home; what she had seen. Mostly Gerrianne was concerned about Max and Baby Girl; that was as close as she came to talking about death. She went to a Hospital in Redding, where I believe she grew up. Our last conversation she told me she was doing good, had taken a step on her own and was letting the staff help her. Then I called and she did not answer. I was shocked and a bit angry at first when I received the call telling me she’d died. It took me a couple days to understand and forgive her for asking that no one be notified until after she was gone. She left sleeping peacefully. The Gerrianne I knew was strong, and understood more than she let on. She was also a bit leery and crafty from living under “street law,” then on a very low income, then on social security. In other words she was smart and determined. Gerrianne also found humor in unlikely places; she once told me about some fun times she had while she was on the streets. She could tell you how awful things were in one breath and smile and share her unusual humor in the next. And Gerrianne was honest, though at times maybe she was careful about the information she was willing to share. Dear Gerrianne, I’m pretty sure you know that Max and Baby Girl are well. I hope you don’t mind what I’ve shared. Rest in peace, I miss you. Farewell. ● Janelle Egger (she/her) is a Fortuna resident and independent activist for civil rights, open government, and a legal place to call home for those without housing.

Local high school sports possibilities By Rod Kausen

he Humboldt Del Norte League (HDNL) successfully petitioned the North Coast Section (NCS) on Oct. 2 to allow our HDNL schools to have our own model for athletics this year. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, most California high schools are attempting a two-season model for sports, where the HDNL will follow the more traditional three sport seasons — with many changes. Here are some breakdowns. According to the organization that mandates high school sport guidelines for most states, including California, there are three levels of COVID-19 risk in high school sports. For our purposes locally: High-Risk sports are football, wrestling and competitive cheer. Moderate-risk sports are basketball, baseball, softball, soccer and tennis. Low-risk sports include golf, cross country running and some track and field events. The levels of risk are based on such things as the sharing of balls, sharing and

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

cleaning of equipment and, of course, physical contact. Each team and sport must pass through three phases to compete as cleared by the county health officer. For instance, in basketball, practice begins with each athlete having their own ball in small pods, no more than 10 athletes at a time at the facility and no physical contact before moving to Level 2. A low-risk sport might begin at Level 3.

The three seasons of sport the HDNL cleared with the NCS include: Season 1, beginning Dec. 14 for eight weeks, including boys and girls basketball and boys and girls cross country. Season 2, beginning Feb. 8 for nine weeks, including football, boys and girls soccer, and girls volleyball. Season 3, beginning April 12 for eight weeks, including baseball, softball, boys and girls track and field, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls golf, and boys and girls wrestling.

Here are some guidelines the HDNL has put in place: If a season starts and stops, it will not start again. There will be no travel outside the county, including sectional competition, in seasons 1 and 2. All games will be interleague and league championships will then conclude the season since seasons 1 and 2 are not in sync with the NCS timeline. Season 3 teams and athletes can travel to sectional competition if qualified, and the county public health office allows travel. Wrestling will follow the NCS model in season 3 and wrestlers can attend NCS events as it will be following the same schedule, but with a later practice start time than other sectional schools.

Here are some concerns and hang-ups: Which schools will participate locally? Each school will determine independently what sports to participate in. The Eureka

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

High School Board of Trustees voted Oct. 8 to participate in athletics but continue classes remotely. If Eureka High School and others — possibly Arcata and McKinleyville — also vote for starting athletics with remote education, many may question why other programs, such as agriculture and band, are not granted exceptions, too. Only four schools’ students are currently attending in person: Fortuna High School, Ferndale High School, St. Bernard’s Academy and Del Norte High School. Many (if not all) counties in the North Coast Section are in much worse shape than we are concerning COVID-19 and shelter-in-place restrictions. Humboldt County has recently moved to the yellow “minimal” tier, the least restrictive zone, whereas some East Bay counties are at the highest levels of restriction, purple and red. It is hard to imagine the NCS pulling off a sectional championship series until the COVID crisis is gone. High school sports are not high on the agenda for some of these counties. Ethnic disparities in terms of contraction and impact of the illness makes advancement to less restrictive codes even harder for areas with larger Black and Latinx populations. Face masks will have to be mandated to a certain degree. Despite consensus among county public health departments, there is no agreement among participants and community members concerning how safe masks are to wear during exercise, and there is certainly no agreement about when and where to wear masks in athletics. Schools are always responsible for monitoring themselves concerning violations. I can foresee some major disagreements between schools as guidelines and rules are interpreted differently. The nature of competitive sports is to be closer than 6 feet apart. Even in a low risk sport like cross country, a runner needs to be within 6 feet to pass another. High school sports thrive on fans — there is no policy for allowing fans in any of the models. The COVID-19 crisis is far from being over. There are so many questions and concerns. We want our athletes to compete and have a chance to show themselves to fans, family and, for some athletes, future colleges. This is a heartbreaking time for everyone, including the fans of local high school sports. I feel we have a shot this year to have some version of local high school sports. Even so, it is not going to be the same. ● Rod Kausen (he/him) is a retired teacher and coach.

Chetco Estuary Best Bet for Kings

341 West Harris St., Eureka 707 445-3138

f you’re looking for fresh kings with the potential for a big one, the Chetco estuary is the place to be. Salmon have been staging in the tidewater since the latter part of September. And they’ll continue to do so until ample rain allows them to make their way upriver. Following last Saturday’s rain, which bumped the flows from under 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) to nearly 500, some salmon were able to navigate out of the tidewater. But there should be plenty more heading in from the salt to take their place. “The biggest king caught last week was around 45 pounds, with several near 30 and an impressive number of jacks,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “After fishing well for a week, the fishing slowed over the weekend as rain allowed many of the salmon schooling there to shoot upriver.” Catch rates went from two to three fish a rod last week — mostly jacks — to just a handful of fish overall on Sunday and Monday. One adult salmon a day, wild or hatchery, may be kept per day on the Chetco, with an annual limit of two wild fish. Anglers must “rack their rods” once an adult is kept. The river remains closed above mile 2.2 because of low flows. Over on the Smith River, the tidewater fishing hasn’t been as good. But that may not be for a lack of fish. The rain that fell on Saturday pushed the flows up to 600 cfs, which is plenty for the fish to move out of the estuary and into the heart of the river. According to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, there aren’t many fish staging in the estuary right now. “There’s been one or two fish caught per day,” said Carson. “There’s been a few boats trolling sardines and anchovies as well as bank anglers tossing Kastmasters and Cleos. The Sand Hole has some fish in it but the seals were making their life miserable,” added Carson. Upper Klamath/Trinity quota update According to Dan Troxel, an environmental scientist on the Klamath River Project, the Upper Klamath quota for adult king salmon will be met as of 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18. This triggers the closure of the adult Chinook salmon fishery on the main stem of

the Klamath River from 3,500 feet downstream of the Iron Gate Dam to the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec. The Upper Trinity follows a week later, with no adult retention beginning Oct. 25. No closure date has been provided for the Lower Trinity. The Upper Klamath and Upper Trinity will remain open for harvest of jack (two-year-old) Chinook salmon (less than or equal to 23 inches). All adult Chinook salmon caught must be immediately released and reported on an angler’s North Coast Salmon Report Card. For more information, visit www.cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2020/10/13/ upper-klamath-river-adult-chinook-salmonquota-met.

The Rivers:

Lower Klamath The salmon action has slowed on the lower Klamath but there are still some bright fish around. The few boats still fishing are finding most of their success above Blue Creek. There isn’t much pressure this time of the year but the fishing can be good as some of the late-run kings start to stage in front of the bigger creeks. The daily bag limit is two jack Chinook 23-inches or smaller and two hatchery steelhead. Trinity According to Junction City Store owner Frank Chapman, the section from Junction City to Del Loma is seeing a good number of kings. “There’s lots of jacks and a few adults around,” said Chapman. “Most of the adults I’ve seen are older but there are a few fresh ones mixed in. There are some steelhead around, too, but not a ton.” Reportedly, salmon are in the lower river as well, but the bulk of the salmon are being stopped behind the CDFW weir at Kimtu. ● Kenny Priest (he/him) operates Fishing the North Coast, a fishing guide service out of Humboldt specializing in salmon and steelhead.

Fun-size Assortment

A little junk, a little sweet and a surprise By John J. Bennettr

screens@northcoastjournal.com

’d say I’m fairly neutral, as far as Halloween goes. I don’t particularly like or dislike costumery. The proliferation of candy is fine, if eventually problematic — I’m thinking of gasping adults devouring “fun size” chocolate bars like they’re emergency rations. And the aesthetics and iconography, while fun, conjuring sense memories of times of easier enjoyment, could just as well be confined to the day itself. I have friends, though, who stretch the day into a season and would probably elect to live in a haunted/highly spooky house, were it not so widely frowned upon/seen as evidence of psychological instability. But I enjoy horror and monster movies (I was genuinely excited when I saw the Criterion Channel’s carefully curated slate of ’70s horror for the month of October). And so, in deference to my Halloween heads and my own taste, I would feel remiss, with the day so fast approaching, in not including at least a couple of themed selections here. The order in which these reviews appear is in no way representative of their cultural or cinematic merits. The 40 Year Old Version is a work of more substance and significance than Hubie Halloween, which is clearly pop trash. But the reviews follow the order in which I watched the movies; I’ve always done it this way and I suppose I’m mildly obsessive-compulsive. HUBIE HALLOWEEN. As noted above, this is trash. Sure, but I also enjoyed it. This is likely due as much to the rapid softening of my brain as to a crushing outside reality

that begs constant mitigation and remediation; so be it. And more often than not I’ll show up for Adam Sandler. His movie nerd career stats aren’t great, I’ll admit, but with Uncut Gems (2019) and PunchDrunk Love (2002), he gave us two of the most fascinating, shockingly underappreciated performances of the 21st century. Perhaps even more central to my twisted perspective, he was a titanic figure in the Hollywood comedy boom of the early-mid 1990s. I saw Billy Madison (1995) in a double-feature with Dumb and Dumber. Then I saw Happy Gilmore (1996) and I had never laughed so hard in my life. And so, even though Sandler has phoned in a lot of the mid-career stuff, even though his Hubie sounds remarkably like any number of other characters he’s played in the past and undoubtedly will again in the future, even though I should “know better,” I had fun with this. Not that it matters, but Hubie is a sweet simpleton who has to save his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts, from unseen Halloween marauders; tropes abound! Probably only for Sandler fans and the sugar-high. PG13. 102M. NETFLIX. VAMPIRES VS. THE BRONX. Directed by TV veteran Oz Rodriguez, who also gets a story credit, Vampires vs. the Bronx could live in the same section as Hubie Halloween but moves up at least a couple of shelves in terms of intention and nuance. Concerned about the aggressive gentrification of his neighborhood (spearheaded by the sinister Murnau Enterprises), Miguel (Jaden Michael) tries to bring the Bronx together at a block party fundraiser to

save his favorite bodega. In the run-up to his event, though, he’ll have to contend with not only the horrors of regular adolescence, but with the primary stakeholders (pun intended) in Murnau and their ghoulish plans for the borough. Vampires ties in classic-modern references aplenty, leaning especially into Blade (1998) which, of course, I love. But it also speaks truth to coming of age, has jokes for days and, with deceptive simplicity, incorporates commentary on disenfranchisement and social inequity in contemporary America. PG13. 85M. NETFLIX. THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION has nothing to do with Halloween. It is also, as mentioned above, a more substantial and, I’ll say it, important work than its position in this column would seem to indicate. But there is something so exciting in the discovery of it, having come to it knowing nothing, that makes me want to leave it to others to enjoy it the same way. Maybe that’s a cop out, maybe I think it merits a more academic exploration than I’m capable of, that’s for someone else to judge. But it is a tongue-in-cheek, semi-autobiographical feature debut from writer and performer Radha Blank (who wrote, directed, produced and stars) that engages with notions of sex, race, age, potential, perception and the meaning of success. It’s a hip-hop comedy with dramatic chops shot in languid black and white; it’s unlike anything else and it’s great. R. 129M. NETFLIX. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Would you be willing to meditate on how you might become more skilled in the arts of intimacy? Would you consider reading books and websites that offer guidance about strategies for being the best partner and ally you can be? Are you receptive to becoming more devoted to practicing empathy and deep listening? I’m not saying you’re deficient in these matters, nor am I implying that you need to improve your mastery of them any more than the rest of us. I simply want you to know that now is an especially favorable time for you to make progress. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Entre chien et loup is a French idiom that literally means “between dog and wolf.” It’s used to describe twilight or dusk, when the light is faint and it’s tough to distinguish between a dog and a wolf. But it may also suggest a situation that is a blend of the familiar and the unknown, or even a moment when what’s ordinary and routine is becoming unruly or wild. Entre chien et loup suggests an intermediary state that’s unpredictable or beyond our ability to define. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose you regard it as one of your main themes for now. Don’t fight it; enjoy it! Thrive on it! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 34 years, the beloved American TV personality Mr. Rogers did a show for children. He’s now widely acknowledged as having been a powerful teacher of goodness and morality. Here’s a fun fact: His actual middle name was “McFeely.” I propose that you use that as a nickname for yourself. If McFeely doesn’t quite appeal to you, maybe try “Feel Maestro” or “Emotion Adept” or “Sensitivity Genius.” Doing so might help inspire you to fulfill your astrological assignment in the coming weeks, which is to allow yourself to experience more deep feelings than usual—and thereby enhance your heart intelligence. That’s crucial! In the coming weeks, your head intelligence needs your heart intelligence to be working at peak capacity. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A blogger named Dr.LoveLlama writes, “You may think I am walking around the house with a blanket around my shoulders because I am cold, but in fact the ‘blanket’ is my cloak and I am on a fantasy adventure.” I approve of such behavior during our ongoing struggles with COVID-19, and I especially recommend it to you in the coming days. You’ll be wise to supercharge your imagination, giving it permission to dream up heroic adventures and epic exploits that you may or may not actually undertake someday. It’s time to become braver and more playful in the inner realms. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to author Rev. Dr. Marilyn Sewell, “The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth.” I recommend that you meditate on that perspective. Make it your keynote. Your physical organism always has wisdom to impart, and you can always benefit from tuning in to it—and that’s especially important for you right now. So let me ask you: How much skill do you have in listening to what your body tells you? How receptive are you to its unique and sometimes subtle forms of expression? I hope you’ll enhance your ability to commune with it during the next four weeks. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his fictional memoir Running in the Family, Virgo author Michael Ondaatje returns to Sri Lanka, the land where he spent his childhood, after many years away. At one point he enthuses that he would sometimes wake up in the morning and “just smell things for the whole day.” I’d love for you to try a similar experiment, Virgo: Treat yourself to a festival of aromas. Give yourself freely to consorting with the sensual joy of the world’s many scents. Does that sound frivolous? I don’t think it is. I believe it would have a deeply calming and grounding effect on you. It would anchor you more thoroughly

in the here and now of your actual life, and inspire you to shed any fantasies that you should be different from who you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The hardest thing you will ever do is trust yourself,” says Libran journalist Barbara Walters. Really? I don’t think so. In my experience, the hardest thing to do is to consistently treat ourselves with the loving care we need to be mentally and physically healthy. But I do acknowledge that trusting ourselves is also an iffy task for many of us. And yet that’s often because we don’t habitually give ourselves the loving care we need to be healthy. How can we trust ourselves if we don’t put in the work necessary to ensure our vitality? But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming weeks, you’re likely to be extra motivated and intuitively astute whenever you improve the way you nurture yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You can’t learn anything when you’re trying to look like the smartest person in the room,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. That’s a useful message for you right now. Why? Because you will soon be exposed to teachings that could change your life for the better. And if you hope to be fully available for those teachings, you must be extra receptive and curious and open-minded—which means you shouldn’t try to seem like you already know everything you need to know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve decided not to use quotes by famous writers who’ve endorsed bigoted ideas. In the future, my horoscopes won’t mention the work of T. S. Eliot, Roald Dahl, V. S. Naipaul, Edith Wharton, Kingsley Amis, H. P. Lovecraft, Flannery O’Connor, Rudyard Kipling, and Louis-Ferdinand Celine. I’m sorry to see them go, because I’ve learned a lot from some of them. And I understand that many were reflecting attitudes that were widespread in their era and milieu. But as I’ve deepened my commitment to fighting prejudice, I’ve come to the conclusion that I personally don’t want to engage with past perpetrators. Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to take an inventory of your own relationship with bigoted influences—and consider making some shifts in your behavior. (More info: tinyurl.com/ BigotedAuthors1 and tinyurl.com/BigotedAuthors2) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn chemist Tu YouYou doesn’t have a medical degree or PhD. Yet she discovered a treatment for malaria that has saved millions of lives. The drug was derived from an ancient herbal medicine that she spent years tracking down. In part because of her lack of credentials, she remained virtually unsung from the time she helped come up with the cure in 1977 until she won a Nobel Prize in 2015. What’s most unsung about your accomplishments, Capricorn? There’s a much better chance than usual that it will finally be appreciated in the coming months. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting,” says author Gregory David Roberts. If that’s true, I expect that a surge of luck will flow your way soon. According to my astrological analysis, fate has grown impatient waiting for you to take the actions that would launch your life story’s next chapter. Hopefully, a series of propitious flukes will precipitate the postponed but necessary transformations. My advice? Don’t question the unexpected perks. Don’t get in their way. Allow them to work their magic. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Have you formulated wily plans and crafty maneuvers to help you navigate through the labyrinthine tests and trials up ahead? I hope so. If you hope to solve the dicey riddles and elude the deceptive temptations, you’ll need to use one of your best old tricks—and come up with a new trick, as well. But please keep this important caveat in mind: To succeed, you won’t necessarily have to break the rules. It may be sufficient merely to make the rules more supple and flexible. ●

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You 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 free and clear ownership of the prop− erty or necessarily a 100% owner− ship interest in the property. 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 or resolving ownership interest issues, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis− tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens as well as the ownership interest(s) 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, lien holder, 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.

David served four terms as Chair of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors’ Aviation Advisory Committee (CA), spent years building an aluminum aircraft, and did informal formation flying. He was a lifetime member of the Experimental Aviation Association. For their 13th wedding anniversary, David and his wife set a national and world flying record in their Mooney.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You 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 free and clear ownership of the prop− erty or necessarily a 100% owner− ship interest in the property. 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 or resolving ownership interest issues, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis− tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens as well as the ownership interest(s) 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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You 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 free and clear ownership of the prop− erty or necessarily a 100% owner− ship interest in the property. 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 or resolving ownership interest issues, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis− tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens as well as the ownership interest(s) 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.

Date: 9/30/2020

An opened freeswimming juvenile scallop. Photo by Mike Kelly

Molluscs and Murder By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com ell, I was acquitted of murder again. This time I had beaten a man to death with my bare knuckles because he called a scallop a “clam.” The judge agreed it was justifiable homicide, saying, “If the victim had read Washed Up regularly like a good citizen, he wouldn’t have been so ignorant and Mr. Kelly would not have suffered the eight broken fingers.” As you’d imagine, I became an instant hero to the scallop community. So I agreed to visit the Scallop News Network (SNN) down in the tide pools for an interview. The interviewer was an attractive female giant rock scallop (Crassadoma gigantea), and the sound engineer was a hunky male rock scallop. She began the interview with, “Thank you so much Mike — may I call you Mike? OK. Mr. Kelly, it means so much to all scallop species worldwide that you would defend our honor. Tell me, when did you first become aware of us giant rock scallops?” “It was when I was a young man and found one of your shells washed up. The shell was 6 inches across and had a very pretty purple patch on the hinge.” “We have a purple patch on our hinge?” “Yes. In fact, some people call you the purple-hinge rock scallop. But I suppose you wouldn’t be able to see the purple unless you were dismantled, despite having all those beautiful eyes interspersed with the tentacles that span your orange mantle.” “Thank you,” she said. “Most people don’t realize we can see them approach. We close our shells tight and, since we are usually covered in a layer of sponge and other encrusting organisms, we simply disappear into the rock we are cemented on.” “I was wondering about you rock scallops being attached to a hard substrate like that. Many species of scallop are free-swimming hermaphrodites. Your spe-

cies has separate males and females, but you have no opportunity to hook up. You and the sound engineer gaze longingly at each other. Gosh, it must be a lonely existence stuck to a rock for literally decades with no intimacy.” “Everyone has their kinks, Mr. Kelly. Besides, when we are juveniles we are able to scoot around on jet propulsion by clapping our shell valves together using contractions of our powerful adductor muscle. So we get several months to sow nonreproductive wild oats. But we soon realize that bondage is preferable. We find a suitable spot, produce some byssal threads for temporary attachment and begin the process of secreting shell material for permanent attachment. Does this offend you?” “No, no. I’m not judging,” I explained. “Your niche is just as valid as mine. I just highly value snuggling, that’s all. Besides, I always get a little thrill when I find your species on a rock.” “Have you seen many of us in the wild?” “Oh, yes. You are pretty common where people haven’t harvested all of you.” “Um … harvested?” “For sure. That adductor muscle of yours is probably the sweetest meat in the sea.” “You would eat me?” she asked. “Hell, yeah! But don’t be a hypocrite now. You eat your own babies. Why do you look so horrified? You are a filter feeder, so you eat whatever tiny organisms are suspended in the water without prejudice, which will invariably include your species’ larvae. You are a cannibal and if you had read Washed Up you wouldn’t be so willfully ignorant. So take this!” I said. “AHHH! What are you doing with that knife? I beg of you, don’t murder me!” “Ha! I don’t call it murder. I call it yummy.” ● Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly. It’s available at Eureka Books and for Kindle.
