EDITORIAL

A Deadly Finale By Thadeus Greenson

thad@northcoastjournal.com

f the stakes weren’t so high, it would be amusing — the last weeks in office of a reality show president, the one who made a career of the callous catchphrase “you’re fired,” now wholly unable to accept the fact that he was just resoundingly fired from the most important job of his life, destined to go down in history with Martin Van Buren, Benjamin Harrison and a small handful of others as the only presidents voted out of office after a single term. If the circumstances were different, it would be entertaining to watch his team of infomercial lawyers’ lawsuits laughed out of courts across six states as the president bloviates about a fictional multi-state conspiracy involving Republicans and Democrats, state and county officials, as well as media outlets from MSNBC and the New York Times to Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, to deny him a second term despite his wild popularity, good looks and all that “winning.” Of course, this is the president of the United States we’re talking about, as well as the sacred peaceful transition of power in the world’s flagship democracy, and all the president’s bluster and baseless fraud allegations have real consequences, so none of this is funny. Not at all. It’s not funny to the millions of voters who apparently don’t trust news outlets or judges or local elections officials or even the attorneys general that William Barr has given the authority to investigate voter fraud but have found none. No, these voters trust Trump — and have continued to trust him despite thousands of blatant lies spread over four years about everything from the innocuous (crowd size) to the deadly (COVID-19). And lest you forget, some of these people are our neighbors: The president got more than 21,000 votes in Humboldt County and the local GOP is currently organizing a “stop the steal” rally for Saturday. The anger inside these folks — no matter how ill informed — is real and being fanned. Where does that end? But in this perfect storm that is 2020, there’s so much more at stake than just anger and resentment and a fractured nation with diminished world standing. Contrary to the president’s wild, baseless assurances, COVID-19 did not disappear on Nov. 4, nor did it fall off the front pages of this nation’s newspapers. That’s because it’s real and it’s deadly and it’s surging in the leadership void of a president who simply could not care less about the governed. It’s surging in

deep red states like South Dakota and Wyoming, just as it’s surging in blue states like Illinois and Wisconsin, and just as it’s surging — thankfully to a lesser degree — in Humboldt County. The nation is seeing close to 200,000 new cases confirmed daily, with reports of overwhelmed healthcare systems coming from areas both rural and urban. And it’s only getting worse. In the midst of this national emergency that’s already seen more than 255,000 Americans killed, what’s the president’s national strategy? He doesn’t have one. How is he messaging the urgency of the situation and the need to flatten the curve? He isn’t. Instead, like the grifter he has always been, he’s flooding his supporters’ email accounts with urgent pleas to fund a legal defense to “stop the steal,” never mind the fact that donations less than $8,000 instead go to paying down his campaign debt and the Republican National Committee. Meanwhile, President-elect Joe Biden is building his team and his plan for a national COVID-19 response — one that surely could have rolled out last February had our current president chosen to lead rather than lie to the American people. But our president’s petulant refusal to accept his loss — and his even more petulant refusal to share information with Biden’s transition team — means the president-elect is going to be largely in the dark about many facets of the virus and what can be done to mitigate its spread until he takes office next year. So here we are, bracing to see unprecedented suffering and death in all corners of the country over the coming months as the most powerful man in the world treats the U.S. presidency like some reality show, peddling new catchphrases to his own personal benefit while the country burns around him. History will look back harshly. To our neighbors who have taken this heretic’s word over all reason, science and decency, and who plan to stand in solidarity with his tantrum Saturday, know this: History will judge you harshly, too, though your neighbors may not wait. And whatever you choose to do Saturday, wear a mask. We say that because, unlike your president, we still care about you, our community and this nation. ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Editor: Barry Evans’ “Of Course We Still Love You, Voyager!” (Nov. 19) reminded me that most of us pay little attention to the radio debris shed by our planet. But perhaps we should. I’m thinking specifically of the first radio broadcast that was powerful enough to leave the earth’s atmosphere. Punching through the layers of charged particles surrounding our planet requires brute power. On Aug. 30, 1933, the first station with enough wattage to get the job done broadcast a speech from Nuremberg, Germany, to millions of Nazi soldiers by their fuhrer, Adolph Hitler. As usual, he did a lot of screaming and ranting. Traveling at the speed of light, this broadcast can’t be modified, much less rescinded. It will always remain ahead of any other radio signal generated on this planet. It has become Earth’s calling card to the rest of the universe. Gordon Inkeles, Bayside

A city map shows one of the business zones in which camping will be prohibited under the city’s new ordinance. Submitted.

Changing Territory

Informed by its past, Eureka takes another crack at homeless ordinance By Linda Stansberry

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

n Nov. 17, the Eureka City Council voted to repeal and replace its existing camping ordinance, approving new language that prohibits camping in the city’s business districts and trails, anywhere in the city during daylight hours and anywhere on public property where said camping would be considered “obstructive conduct.” Discussion stretched nearly two hours, with several councilmembers seeking to assuage public concern that the new ordinance would further criminalize homelessness. The ordinance was amended to change the recommended criminal charge for camping from a misdemeanor to an infraction and then passed with a 4-1 vote, with Councilmember Leslie Castellano dissenting. According to City Attorney Robert Black, the new language was drafted to re-

place an existing ordinance rendered moot by a 2019 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision, Martin vs. The City of Boise. In that case, the court found Boise’s camping ordinance unconstitutional on the grounds that it violated the Eighth Amendment by criminalizing “necessary human behavior; specifically, sleeping, sitting and lying on public property when homelessness and lack of available shelter gives individuals no alternative.” “The city has been involved in litigation stemming from the Palco Marsh abatement,” Black told the council in his opening comments. “One step in the direction of resolving that litigation is to revise our camping ordinance and bring it into compliance with federal law. [Martin v. City of Boise] basically said that houseless, homeless people by virtue of their status cannot be criminalized through total

prohibition of camping in public spaces. We now have an ordinance that essentially contains such a total prohibition. This is an attempt to try to establish a set of values on the use of public property but, at the same time, allow large areas of public space within the city of Eureka to be available to people for whom there is no available shelter space.” In the new ordinance, this conduct is referred to as “involuntary camping,” and is prohibited in Old Town, the Northern Gateway District, all of the Waterfront Trail and the Henderson Center business district. Councilmember Austin Allison opened discussion with two questions: “Will ordinances like this put houseless people in jail? Will it take people off the streets?” Black responded that “for all practical purposes, the answer is no,” adding that there was a “theoretical legal construct” in which violators could be charged with a misdemeanor but in practice it would be an opportunity for police officers to contact those violating the ordinance and try to convince them to seek services. Eureka Police Capt. Brian Stephens confirmed that EPD currently has a practice of not rousting people who are camping overnight except in complaint-driven circumstances, and said the ordinance would give officers the authority to contact individuals and connect them with services, with the “ultimate goal being able to get them off the street.” “The ordinance gives us the ability to legally maintain order and address overall community needs and, hopefully, encourage these community members to seek out services and sheltered spaces,” Stephens wrote in a follow up email. “Those that do have a change of heart about accepting assistance often do so because of the multiple contacts and the relationships that are built between members of our CSET and UPLIFT team and the community member. There are times and areas that the behavior is not acceptable and there needs to be balance and the ability for all our community members to freely utilize our public spaces.” The city has been on a circuitous journey with its relationship to its homeless residents since 2013, when a lawsuit brought by a homeless advocate who broke her shoulder while visiting people in the Palco Marsh sparked a series of events culminating in abatement of that encampment, which at one time consisted of several hundred people living behind the Bayshore Mall. City staff attempted an array of different tactics to disband the Palco Marsh camps, including straightforward eviction notices, regular visits by clean-up crews and resource fairs before the camp was finally forcefully dispersed May 2, 2016. The city’s ongoing exposure to litigation, as referenced by Black at the top of the meeting, informed much of Nov. 17 discussion. The case, which Black said is largely inactive, arose from that 2016 eviction. Eleven litigants represented by Eureka attorney Shelley Mack filed a restraining order against the city just prior to the clear-out of the encampment. A judge at the time ruled that the city would have to provide alternative shelter for the plaintiffs. The ruling resulted in a series of “sanctioned camps” set up at different places in Continued on page 9 » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

the city, but they were discontinued in November of 2016, with city staff citing complaints from neighboring business owners about theft and vandalism. In the four years since the events of 2016, the city has diversified its approach to homelessness, with departments changing in a variety of ways to meet the challenge. The city’s Community Services Department (formerly Parks and Recreation) helped establish UPLIFT Eureka, which matches participants with community volunteers to help guide them through services. EPD modified and expanded its homeless outreach services. The city also supported several transitional and permanent housing projects through the Betty Kwan Chinn Foundation and the state’s Project Homekey initiative. But the question of where people without homes can legally be, especially with winter bearing down, limited local shelter capacity and the continuing spectre of a pandemic. Castellano asked if the maps created by counsel were counter-intuitive: “If someone was camping somewhere and told they couldn’t stay, and they ask where they could go, what would happen — would we show them a map of where they could go?” Black said questions like that “get worked out in practice,” in the field by EPD officers, and that there is a general reluctance to sanction any particular area for camping, saying it could lead to a “concentrated zone or area.” Stephens, in an email, acknowledged this concern, saying there is “a risk with telling a community member that they can camp in a particular place.” Although public comment leaned largely against approving the new language, with one opponent saying it sounded like “just pushing people around,” a council majority supported the change. Several councilmembers cited complaints from business owners about homeless camping in doorways and entryways and having to clean up messes before opening up to customers. “It’s really important to learn from your past,” said Councilmember Kim Bergel, referring to instances when the city allowed camps to become entrenched. “We’ve experienced this with Palco Marsh … if you remember what a nightmare that was.” Castellano, who cast the lone dissenting vote, wrote in a follow-up email that she had several concerns with the new ordinance. “The legal territory of when and where a person can sleep in public is quickly changing,” she wrote. “I think that it is better to take our time in developing a replacement ordinance, if that is indeed the best tactic, in order to create some-

thing that will not be subject to continued legal challenge.” She expressed concerns that continued litigation would ultimately be costly for the citizens of Eureka and felt some of the language in the ordinance has too much room for interpretation and it is unclear how enforcement would work in practice. “I also have concerns about encouraging people to seek a shelter during a pandemic,” she added. “I know that the people who manage shelters in Eureka

are doing tremendous work and abiding by good health protocol, but there are many unknowns during this time and the numbers of people who have COVID-19 are on the rise.” “I know we need some better systems to support our local business owners who are facing many challenges and do not also want to be confronted by having to clean up after someone or manage a situation that may feel unsafe to them, and I am committed to figuring out what the best

policies may be for that, but I think that we are not fully there yet,” she wrote. l Linda Stansberry (she/her) is a freelance journalist. She lives in Eureka.

here has been a lot of talk about Native reservations being food deserts. With no corporate supermarket and little access to the necessary amounts of salmon, a traditional staple, the Yurok Tribe has started the Yurok Agricultural Corporation (YAC) to overcome this imbalance and move ahead with hope for a brighter future planted in the soil of a concept called food sovereignty. The YAC recently purchased the latent Weitchpec Nursery and will repurpose it to benefit tribal members, according to Toby Vanlandingham, president of the YAC. “The Yurok Agricultural Corporation has an opportunity to once again bring that business back into the community to stimulate economic growth, create decent paying jobs and to assist residents with becoming self-sustaining by growing their own food.” In 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture classified the Yurok Reservation as a food desert, which it defines as “a low-income census tract where a substantial number or share of residents has low access to a supermarket or large grocery store.” Food options on the reservation are at a minimum, Vanlandingham reports. The two mini marts with limited stock, Pek-Tah fuel mart in Weitchpec and Pem-Mey fuel mart in Klamath, are the only places to shop; Hoopa, with its grocery store that opened last year, is 14 miles away (“Hoopa’s Long Wait for a Grocery Store is Over,” March 6, 2019). It’s 60 miles to multi-store Crescent City from Weitchpec, Orleans Market is 14 miles off going the other way and Orick Market is 16 miles from Klamath. These distances are even more significant when taking into account lack of transportation and funds for fuel. Vanlandingham, who is also a Yurok Tribal Council member, said on behalf of the YAC that the purchase revitalization of the Weitchpec Nursery will provide the community with jobs, as well as access to low-cost vegetable starts, gardening supplies, educational workshops on food growing and preserving, as well as the opportunity to grow produce for sale at local stores and a future farmers market in the Weitchpec area. “Food sovereignty to me is the people’s right to define their own healthy and culturally relevant food system that utilizes ecologically and sustainable methods for growing and harvesting,” he said. Home gardens have a long tradition among local tribal people. Growing squash, corn, beans and watermelon helps fill out the family menu. The nursery, it’s hoped, will provide a stable

source of items, like seeds and starts, for them to plant in their own gardens. Food nurtured from the earth also helps to support the animals and plants Native people have hunted and gathered from time immemorial. Harvesting homegrown foods is especially vital for those who live in a subsistence economy, many far below the poverty line. According to Vanlandingham, unemployment rates on the reservation are above 80 percent and the median annual household income is roughly $11,000. While the USDA reports 12.9 percent of Americans received assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in 2017, Vanlandingham stated that on the Yurok Reservation, some 64 percent of households rely on some kind of nutritional assistance and, among them, 84 percent reported they worried “about running out or ran out of food in the past year.” Vanlandingham indicated the YAC is working to end food shortages on the Yurok Reservation. “The Yurok Agricultural Corporation’s goal is to assist the Yurok reservation and surrounding communities in building a concrete foundation for an environmentally sustainable food production and distribution system that is equitable and socially just. There are a multitude of building blocks working now toward that goal; the YAC is the missing piece that ties economics into the equation and brings all these blocks together.” Vanlandingham went on to say, “Food choices are strongly tied to our culture, with the decline in access to traditional foods like salmon, acorns, deer and elk, our people are forced to turn to heavily processed foods from store shelves or through the USDA commodity programs. Our long-term goal is to achieve food sovereignty that revitalizes our traditional ecological knowledge and practices that results in healthier communities that are free from so much processed food items.” Time will tell if the revitalization of the Weitchpec nursery will have a favorable impact on the food availability for Yuroks on that part of the reservation. At least it is a step in the right direction of getting back what was once theirs in terms of available fish, acorns, mushrooms and other items traditionally gathered by the tribal members. For more information you can contact the Yurok Agricultural Corporation at 482-0441. ● André P.

rates in adults aged 20 to 30 is that they are more likely to fill jobs in the “frontline workforce.” “Partly, it’s just exposure,” she said. At one point in the supervisors meeting, Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson seemed to ponder whether the county and local agencies could be doing more to protect that frontline workforce, recounting his recent trip to a burrito shop where he found two young male customers weren’t wearing masks and being a “little bit jerky about it.” Wilson said the sole employee in the front of the house, a young woman, seemed to feel threatened and reluctant to ask them to mask up or leave. He asked Sheriff William Honsal if the county could be doing more. Honsal responded that the first step is businesses and their employees really need “to be comfortable having those By Thadeus Greenson conversations” and need to say, “No thad@northcoastjournal.com mask, no service.” “If they’re not comfortable with it, hortly before Journalbewent to then really theythe shouldn’t working that register or that job,” Honsal presscash Nov. 23, Humboldt County said, also takingreported the opportunity Public Health it had to not it’s a misdemeanor to not wear a confirmed 56 newoffense COVID-19 cases facial in an indoor public since covering Nov. 20 — obliterating thesetting, or one whererecord 6 feet of distance single-day reporting andphysical continuing can’t be maintained at all times. a dramatic case surge that saw 214 cases Honsal then added that the goal is confirmed through the first 23 days of “voluntarily compliance” and employees November after 59 in October. need to ask customers to mask up and Throughout the week ending Nov. 20, then, if they refuse, call law enforcement. as a single-week record 71 new COVID-19 “Businesses should confront those cases were confirmed, Humboldt people,” the sheriff said. “IfCounty they don’t Health Officer Teresa increasleave, then callFrankovich the police or sheriff and ingly rang alarm bells anda conversation recommended allow us to have with local schools to distance learning those shift people.” sheriff also took a moment to for the twoThe weeks following Thanksgiving make a of plea directly to the anti-maskers in anticipation a continued surge in who believe the facial covering mandate infections. is misguided, their civil liber“I want to make itinfringing very clearonthat I am ties or both. also concerned,” Frankovich said in a Nov. “If we valueadding our community, then I 20 media availability, she expects think we should do everything we possithe surge in case activity to continue for bly can to reduce risk to our community,” at least aHonsal couple more weeks and that it said. “Your decision not to wear a was “very likely” to move theaffect county facial covering could ourinto businessthe state’s restrictive “widespread” es, most our schools, our churches — everypurple risk tieryou of hold regulations. “When you thing dear could be impacted look at our localdecision case counts, by your not towe’ve wear more a mask.” than tripledAtthose very in recently and acone point the meeting, First celeration at thisSupervisor pace is exactly thewondered thing District Rex Bohn aloud whether some people just feel invincible or think the virus is just the flu and doesn’t pose a substantial risk, before urging them to “listen to the scientists and experts.” “It’s not the flu,” Frankovich said, pointing out that much is not yet known about the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection, which have been preliminary

Bushnell’s Lead Looks Insurmountable in Second District Race

here are fewer than 3,000 ballots in Humboldt County remaining to be counted, according to Registrar of Voters Kelly Sanders, seemingly making it incredibly unlikely two-term incumbent Supervisor Estelle Fennell will be able to make up her deficit to challenger Michelle Bushnell With 11,742 ballots tallied in the Second District race thus far, Bushnell has taken 51.5 percent of the vote and holds a 356vote lead. In an email to the Journal, Sanders said her office still has approximately 2,950 ballots left to process countywide, though likely not all will prove valid. She said 2,500 provisional ballots were cast on Election Day that still need to be tabulated, as well as 100 vote-by-mail ballots the office still has to scan. Finally, she said, her office has about 350 ballots it received in which the voter’s signature was missing or did not match the one the Elections Office had on

file. Those voters, Sander said, were sent a letter and still have the opportunity to fill out a signature verification form and prove their ballots are valid. As such, precisely how many votes remain outstanding in the Second District race is not entirely clear. Sanders said 284 provisional ballots were cast at two Second District voting locations, but it’s possible Second District ballots were cast at other locations, too. But it appears unlikely to matter. Even if all the approximately 2,950 ballots remaining prove valid and fall within the Second District, Fennell would have to pull 56 percent of them to make up the deficit — a margin she has yet to meet in any batch of ballots thus far. Down in Ferndale, meanwhile, incumbent Mayor Don Hindley has grown his lead to a slim 57 votes over challenger Robin Smith with 887 ballots counted in the race thus far. It’s unclear how many votes may still be counted in the race.

Yurok Tribe Confirms Third Case: The Yurok Office of Emergency Services reported Nov. 20 that it had confirmed a third COVID-19 case on the tribe’s reservation, this one coming on the Del Norte side.

Crab Deferred

northcoastjournal

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has delayed the start of commercial crab season for the North Coast as the crab didn’t meet weight qualifications for the season to begin. The delay impacts Humboldt, Mendocino and Del Norte counties, and comes after samplings conducted Oct. 27 and Nov. 12 did not meet minimum criteria established by the Tri-State Dungeness Crab Committee. Another round of samples is scheduled for Dec. 1 and if the crab pass quality tests then, the season would begin Dec. 16. POSTED 11.20.20 Photo by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

The Nov. 20 update pushes countywide turnout for the election to 67,985 voters — roughly 80 percent of those registered and 66 percent of those eligible. Sanders indicated she expects to have the last of the outstanding ballots tallied soon.

Arcata Restaurants Close: A handful of Arcata restaurants — including Plaza Grill, Salt Fish House, Campground and Wildflower Café & Bakery — closed temporarily last week after staff members tested positive for or were exposed to COVID-19. Wildflower re-opened Nov. 22 after negative tests cleared its employees, while Plaza Grill announced it was closing indefinitely and wouldn’t be doing its Thanksgiving to-go boxes after a positive test.

Apples and Apples

Sara Borok presses for the people By Jeanette Cooper

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

any of us wait expectantly for Humboldt’s annual abundance of apples with a plan for baking, canning, pressing or distributing them. I have encountered a rather remarkable number of people, however, who would like to do something with the apples growing on their properties but don’t know what. Apples can be used to make so many delicious things to eat. They can also make delicious things to drink, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you don’t want to eat or drink your apples, you may be able to donate them to a food bank, depending on available storage space. Just contact the food pantry closest to you. For a list of pantries and more information, you can contact Food for People at 445-3166, extension 312, or via its website www. foodforpeople.com. One of the great things about having an abundance of apples in Humboldt is, if you want to press them for juice, you do not have to own a bulky and expensive press. Sara Borok of Erie Street Farms, whom I endearingly refer to as “the Apple Lady,” has offered her presses to our community for about 10 years now at Kneeland Glen Farm Stand. For those of you who have not already discovered this delightful little venue, it is located at 5851 Myrtle

Ave. in Eureka, not far from the intersection of Freshwater Road. In years past, she also pressed at Coastal Grove’s Medieval Festival, unfortunately canceled this year due to COVID-19, as was the Fortuna Apple Harvest Festival. This service to the community is even more important now than in the past as Miller Farms in McKinleyville is not pressing this year, nor is Humboldt Beer Works in Eureka. All Borok asks in return is a donation (most people put in $2 to $3 per gallon). There are approximately 7,500 apple varieties worldwide, of which some 2,500 are grown in the U.S. California is one of the top apple-producing states, and Fruits of the Humboldt Bay, edited by Sean Armstrong, notes about 16 varieties that grow well near the bay. Borok, however, says she’s probably pressed 20 or 30 varieties of local apples over the years and suspects there are probably more varieties than that in the county. Borok has been pressing apples at Kneeland Glen twice a week since Labor Day weekend. So far this year, her presses have produced more than 700 gallons of juice. On dry days, Borok sets the presses up outside and on rainy days, she sets them up in the barn. Either way, there is plenty of room for social distancing and masks are required. You might need to

wait your turn but not for too long. I went on Halloween, one of her busiest days, and didn’t feel as though I had to wait long at all. There is a grill set up selling burgers and potato wedges, adding to the festive environment. While you are there, you could go for a stroll on the nature trail, or visit Kneeland Glen’s charming shop. It’s also just great to be in a place that smells so sweet. Borok used the old press and its slightly more modern sibling — both with hand grinders — for the first three years of her community pressing mission. She eventually upgraded to a newer and more efficient model with an electric grinder. It works like a charm, chopping up those apples in no time and with virtually no human effort. Asked why she goes through all the fuss and work, Borok said simply, “I hate seeing food go to waste.” At a time when Humboldt’s food insecurity is high, it is especially important to utilize the resources growing around us. Humans can’t live on apples alone, but there are a whole lot of things that they can be used for: applesauce, apple pancakes, apple cakes, apple jelly, apple butter, apple chutney, apple pies, apple cobbler, apple kombucha, hard apple cider, apple wine and, of course, apple juice. Apple juice can be drunk straight, watered down, splashed in some mineral water or used as a sweetener for drinks like iced tea. It can be preserved for years frozen or canned. So pick those apples off the tree and pick them up from the ground. You can cut out any rotten bits, press the remainder and enjoy the sweet golden nectar. If you’re not blessed with apples but instead have an abundance of quince, carrots, pears or even pumpkins, Borok is willing to press those, too. Borok will continue to offer her presses and assistance at Kneeland Glen Farm Stand every Thursday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine, for as long as people keep coming to press their apples. She will not be pressing on Thanksgiving Day, but will be available on Wednesday, Nov. 25, instead. Last year, she said she was open until the end of December. Bring your apples and don’t forget to bring some containers to put the juice in, as well. (I use cleaned milk cartons.) Borok advises bringing more containers than you think you will need — people are often surprised how much juice their apples produce. ● Jeanette Cooper (she/her) is a freelance writer and educator.

TROPHY CASE

The Brothers Iorg Blue Lake’s baseball stars By Rod Kausen

trophycase@northcoastjournal.com

he most famous swing of a baseball bat by anyone Humboldt grown was at a pitch slung by Todd Worrell of the St. Louis Cardinals in the ninth inning of the sixth game of the 1985 World Series against the Kansas City Royals. With the bases loaded and a 1-0 lead, the perfect pitch would produce a double play and a World Championship for the Cardinals. Worrell had become the ace of a St. Louis bullpen that had not lost a game in the ninth inning all season. The pinch hitter for the Royals, Dane Iorg, had starred in the World Series as the designated hitter three years earlier for the same Cardinals he was facing that day. He had nine hits in 17 at-bats in that series and already owned a World Series ring. Ironically, he was playing against his former manager, Whitey Herzog, who was instrumental in his development, especially as a pinch hitter. It was not the hardest ball he ever hit but it was the most important. After a ball in the dirt and the bases loaded, he knew he was sitting on a fastball in a moment he had dreamed of since his childhood in his backyard, a house he lived in with his parents, his older sister and two younger brothers just off Railroad Avenue on a little knoll in “downtown” Blue Lake. He told himself to relax and enjoy the dream. All eyes in the packed Logger Bar in Blue Lake were suddenly glued to the TV. “Dane is in the on-deck circle, Dane is going to pinch hit.” Mike Gillespie, a great East Coast sports

writer wrote after the game: “People may not always remember who hit it, but Dane Iorg’s two-run, pinch-hit single in the sixth game of the World Series put the KC Royals in a position to win their first fall classic title.” Old-timers in Blue Lake remember his name and how his walk-off, two-run single led to pandemonium. The Royals came back out the next night and walloped the Cardinals to win their first World Series. Iorg had had his worst season due to injury and had only batted 27 times that season. In his career, Iorg had twice batted over .300, led the Cardinals in batting average in 1981, batting .327, and was a versatile defensive player. But it is those two World Series rings locked in his safe he’s remembered for most. The citizens in Blue Lake who worked the Simpson and Levittown mills, shipping lumber and nails to East Coast towns, remember other things about the Iorg brothers. For one, Dane’s youngest brother Garth played against him on the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League playoffs to get to that same World Series in 1985. Garth was four years younger than Dane with another brother, another local sports legend, Lee Iorg, sandwiched between the two. From 1978-1987, Garth played every position for the Blue Jays but pitcher and catcher — he could play either, all the boys had learned how to pitch, catch and hit in their backyard, one boy for each position. He played mostly in a platoon at third base and retired from the Blue Jays

as their career-leading pinch hitter. He had led the team in hitting in that 1985 season and stayed with the organization for years as a coach at every level of the big leagues.

All three boys were multi-sport stars and played on what are arguably the best baseball teams in the history of Humboldt County. Seven players Garth played with in high school were drafted into the major leagues. His batting stance was quite odd — standing on his toes and leaning back toward the catcher. Unlike Dane, he was drafted soon out of high school straight to the big-league system.

Between the two was Lee Iorg, another star multi-sport athlete at Arcata High School. Don Terbush, the longtime Times-Standard sports editor, said Lee “was possibly the better of the three athletes.” Garth wouldn’t go that far but said, “Lee might have been the better of us as a football player.” Lee, on the other hand, once said, “Garth is the best player to come out of our area.” Lee, like Dane, had gone to Brigham Young on an athletic scholarship to play baseball and, again like Dane, was voted

into the Brigham Young Hall of Fame. He played in the New York Mets organization in Triple-A ball but took different routes. One year at Brigham Young, he played summer ball in the National Semi-Pro League for Alaska and was awarded the Most Valuable Player in the National Baseball Congress Tournament. Baseball has stayed in their family, as Garth has three sons that played professionally and a daughter who played NCAA softball. But it all started with their dad, Charles, who taught them to hit rocks with a broom handle, play Wiffle ball in their backyard and didn’t blink an eye as the three boys broke at least a dozen windows in the house. Amid the smell of

the logs on the logging trucks constantly downshifting and squealing through town, their dad always had patience with the rambunctious boys, coaching their Little League teams after working the dayshift at the Simpson Korbel Mill. When their dad retired from coaching after Lee’s 12-year-old season and Garth’s 10-year-old season, John Tomini, one of the baseball gurus in the Northern Humboldt area, took over. They had time to practice, as the boys’ mom, Leona, who worked at the only grocery store in the town of 1,200, wouldn’t let the kids inside until dinner was ready. Their dad was their greatest sports influence but the Iorg brothers had great coaches in the Arcata area and lots of quality athletes to play with. Credit goes to their teammates but even more to their high school coach Dennis Pontoni and American Legion coach Dave Del Grande for the time, energy and a great traveling schedule.

In the 1960s, this trio of brothers growing up in Blue Lake became a source of town pride. Their dad always told them to say they were from Blue Lake, not Eureka or Arcata. With mitts hanging off their handlebars, they rode their bikes down to what would later be named Iorg Field. Who’d a thunk it? They swam and fished the Mad River and now, spread across the country, they remain best friends and avid fishermen, fishing together as much they can. When I asked Garth Iorg what it was like to grow up in Blue Lake, he thought for a second and said, “It was awesome.” I got to grow up in one those towns in those times with the influences of the barber, the police chief, my coaches, my parents, my friends’ parents — well, the whole town. I wish every girl and boy of every color and economic background could have a childhood like we had. We were so lucky. l Rod Kausen (he/him) is a retired teacher and coach.

Kings Tough to Come by on Smith, Chetco By Kenny Priest

341 West Harris St., Eureka 707 445-3138

poletskis.com

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

fter being open for just over a week, salmon fishing on both the Smith and Chetco has proven to be challenging. By the sound of things, the end is likely near for the run of late-fall kings on the coast. Only a couple small storms hit the coast and dropped enough rain to open the two rivers to fishing. While the fishing window was very small, that doesn’t necessarily mean the number of returning salmon was small. Even during the low water conditions, salmon were seen making their way upriver on all of our coastal streams. Typically, the season’s first big rains come in October, leaving us a good four-to-five-week window to fish. That hasn’t been the case the last few years as the salmon didn’t bother to wait for us or the strong flows to get them to their end destinations. On the other hand, as we inch closer to December, it’s time to start thinking about winter steelhead. There are some half-pounders around, and the adults typically start showing up in December. But don’t give up entirely on salmon just yet. The Smith, Chetco and even the Eel could each see another spurt or two of fresh kings move in on the next substantial river rise.

Sport crab fishing update

Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sportfishing reports the crabbing is a little on the slow side out of Eureka. “We’re still getting limits but it’s getting a little tougher,” said Klassen. “We’ve only had one trip where we didn’t get full limits. On an overnight soak, we’re averaging between four to six keepers per pot. Longer soaks are definitely producing better results. There are a lot of small crabs that are chewing up the bait pretty quickly. Fresh bait, like tuna scraps or rockfish carcasses, will improve the number of keepers as well. The crabs are in great shape, but we aren’t seeing very many jumbos.” Big swells are in the forecast Tuesday night through Thursday morning. Seas could reach up to 20 feet on Wednesday.

Nov. 27 and 28 free fish days in Oregon ODFW is waiving all fishing licensing requirements on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to experience fishing during the long holiday weekend. All fishing, crabbing and clamming in Oregon will be free for both Oregon residents and non-residents. No licenses, tags or endorsements are needed on those days, but all other fishing regulations apply. Visit www.dfw.state.or.us/news/2020/11_ Nov/112020b.asp for more info.

The Rivers: Smith

Since it opened to fishing Nov. 14, salmon fishing has steadily gotten tougher. There are some fish around but most of the boats are having a hard time getting one per trip. Flows were down to 1,200 cubic feet per second on Monday and the river is low and clear. Roe under a float or back-bouncing the deeper holes are your best bets until we get some significant rainfall.

Chetco/Elk/Sixes

The Chetco opened to salmon fishing last Tuesday but quickly blew out, reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. He said, “After cresting at 12,000 cfs, flows dropped below 5,000 cfs on Friday and were down to 2,200 cfs on Sunday. Overall, fishing has been slow but a few nice kings are being caught. The best action is on the lower end. The Elk is now low and clear, while the Sixes is low but fishable. The Sixes has been fishing the best of the Southern Oregon rivers.” l Kenny Priest (he/him) operates Fishing the North Coast, a fishing guide service out of Humboldt specializing in salmon and steelhead.

MANGROVE. In yet another telling instance regarding the state of contemporary cinema, one more of its preeminent voices, Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, 2013) has transitioned to the small screen. Collaborating with the BBC and Amazon, he has created a five-part anthology series (really five movies varying in length from 60 to 120 minutes) to be released weekly until mid-December. The project, Small Axe, draws its title from a Jamaican proverb and tells stories drawn from real life about London’s West Indian immigrant community between the late 1960s and early 1980s. The first installment, Mangrove, is a feature-length episode and introduces us to the vibrant Notting Hill neighborhood, circa 1969. Frank Crichlow (Shaun Parkes) prepares for the grand opening of the titular restaurant, serving Caribbean food and serving as a gathering place for the mostly recent émigrés of the area. Frank, we learn tangentially, had previously operated an establishment called the Rio, which came to the attention of the constabulary as a gambling den where drugs may or may not have been available. And so, based on that history but mainly on virulent systemic racism, the police come down hard on Frank and his restaurant. Led by the repellent P.C. Pulley (Sam Spruell), they conduct a number of baseless raids and arrests, waging a campaign of terror and oppression with no clear recourse for the victims. The constant harassment scares away the restaurant’s customers, leaving Frank disempowered and enraged. Enter Altheia Jones (Letitia Wright), a representative of the Black Panthers dispatched to Notting Hill to advise laborers of their rights, and Darcus Howe (Malachi Kirby), a charismatic Trinidadian who refuses to submit to the legacy of

The Black Panther/Black Panther crossover you’ve been waiting for. Mangrove

discrimination inherent in British culture. They begin to give voice to the frustrations and rage of their community, eventually organizing a protest and march to the steps of the police station. The demonstration boils over into off-screen violence and the police seize the opportunity to respond with force. A number of the protestors are arrested and nine, Crichlow, Jones and Howe among them, are charged with inciting a riot. Further, they are to be tried in the Old Bailey, London’s central criminal court, usually reserved for the trials of murder, treason and the like. The trial of the Mangrove Nine, which takes place over the course of several months, finds the defendants fighting not only for their freedom, but also to illuminate the intrinsic, cultivated racial and economic prejudices of the British police and the entire legal system. Here in the U.S. in 2020, there have been a great number of conversations about 1968 as a sort of spiritual predecessor. It was a year when the anguished energy of youth, Civil Rights and anti-war movements came to head. There were riots and assassinations, and the conflict in Vietnam took a turn for the intractable. The frustrations of a generation were made manifest and then, arguably, crushed and transmuted by a bigoted, corporatized infrastructure. Interestingly, we rarely discuss the same period in U.K. history, or really the experience of being Black and British, at all. Which is an unsurprising but dispiriting oversight,

another example of the isolationism and exceptionalism that have lately become so visibly problematic in this country. Of course we would have little to no understanding of the parallel struggles of the county from which ours was improbably and troublingly birthed. We’ve been too busy actively ignoring our own culture of inequality and unfairness. Anyway, credit is due to McQueen for bringing his tremendous narrative focus and artistic acumen to bear on a sprawling, prickly project like this one. It remains to be seen, of course, what shape the rest of the series will take. But Mangrove, while evoking a London of half a century ago, feels exceedingly current. And while it could be seen as an example of how far we have failed to come as a greater society, it is also propulsive and powerful and insistent, reminding us that change does come, even if it doesn’t assume the seismic, tidal proportions we may desire. Mangrove doesn’t feel quite as precise or as finely finished as some of McQueen’s other work, but it exemplifies both his sumptuous, patient visual style and his insistence on thoroughly exploring subjects and stories of historical and human significance. This feels like material he is singularly equipped to render as narrative art and I’m excited and a little unnerved to see what’s next. 124M. AMAZON. ● John J.

’Tis the Harvest Season By David Wilson

ncnightlights@northcoastjournal.com

he girls are all grown up, beautiful young blossoms in their prime. They’ve overcome tremendous obstacles in their young lives and now they are ready to spread their wings and change the world. Where did the time go? Harvest season has arrived in the Emerald Triangle. From seedlings, you nursed and protected them. You watched as their genders showed. You sent the boys off to boarding school, hopefully before any mischief occurred — boys and girls are trouble when mixed together. Unexpected seeds will completely derail your plans. You fed and nurtured them as they grew, guiding them through each new challenge. Like a mountain lion protecting her young, you held predators at bay. You trapped mice and rats, and your heart hurt when you lost girls to them anyway. You fenced out the deer, hoping it would also keep the wild pigs from rooting up your babies. Sometimes it didn’t work. You protected their tender roots from the subterranean threats of gophers and moles with sonic deterrent spikes, finding that they aren’t 100-percent effective. You supported them with netting or with ties when their branches became long and the winds picked up. When the rains came,

your redoubled efforts kept most of the sopping bud-laden branches from breaking. You sprayed the girls with expensive organic compounds to keep the mildew off … but watched as the devastating mold spotted here and there anyway. Through it all, you stayed awake at night worrying about navigating the complicated bureaucratic details of the legal cannabis industry, and about whether you would lose the farm to it if you weren’t perfect. You worried about people coming to rip you off. And would there be enough water in these years of drought? Would you have to order water trucked in just to get by? What about the crazy wildfire season roulette wheel — would a disaster land on you? Will insurance even cover the farm from wildfire next year? There’s more work for you as you prepare to send your girls out into the world, maybe into the medical profession or perhaps recreation, but you find yourself already looking to the challenges of next year. l To keep abreast of David Wilson’s (he/ him) latest photography or purchase a print, visit www.mindscapefx.com or follow him on Instagram at @ david_wilson_mfx and on Twitter @ davidwilson_mfx.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ROSE MARY SCOTT, ROSE M. SCOTT, and ROSE SCOTT A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner RICKY J. DAMASSA In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that RICKY J. DAMASSA be appointed as personal representative to admin− ister the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the dece− dent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for exami− nation in the file kept by court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on December 17, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of Cali− fornia, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6, Room: 6. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. ATTORNEY FOR PETITIONER: Daniel E. Cooper Morrison, Morrison & Cooper

publication of this notice. See Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof for the Legal Description. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges as of November 5, 2020: $518,332.41. Beneficiary may elect to open bidding at a lesser amount. The total amount secured by said instrument as of the time of initial publication of this notice is stated above, which includes the total amount of the unpaid balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of this notice. 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 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. DATED: This 5th day of November, 2020 in the city of Eureka, and the county of Humboldt, California.

See Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof for the Legal Description. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges as of November 5, 2020: $518,332.41. Beneficiary may elect to open bidding at a lesser amount.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “A little too much is just enough for me,” joked poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. I suspect that when he said that, he was in a phase similar to the one you’re in now. I bet he was experiencing a flood of creative ideas, pleasurable self-expressions, and loving breakthroughs. He was probably right to risk going a bit too far, because he was learning so much from surpassing his previous limitations and exploring the frontiers outside his comfort zone. Now here’s your homework, Aries: Identify two actions you could take that fit the profile I’ve described here. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Biologists believe that no tree can grow more than 436 feet tall. As much as an individual redwood or spruce or mountain ash might like to sprout so high that it doesn’t have to compete with other trees for sunlight, gravity is simply too strong for it to pump enough water up from the ground to its highest branches. Keep that in mind as a useful metaphor during the next ten months, Taurus. Your assignment is to grow bigger and taller and stronger than you ever have before—and know when you have reached a healthy level of being bigger and stronger and taller. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I haven’t felt the savory jolt of bacon in my mouth since I was 15, when I forever stopped eating pigs. I still remember that flavor with great fondness, however. I’ve always said I’d love to find a loophole that would allow me to enjoy it again. And then today I found out about a kind of seaweed that researchers at Oregon State University say tastes like bacon and is healthier than kale. It’s a new strain of a red marine algae called dulse. If I can track it down online, I’ll have it for breakfast soon. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that you, too, are primed to discover a fine new substitute—something to replace a pleasure or resource that is gone or taboo or impossible. What could it be? CANCER (June 21-July 22): By age 49, Cancerian author Norman Cousins had been struck with two debilitating diseases. His physicians gave him a one in 500 chance of recovery. He embarked on a series of unconventional attempts to cure himself, including “laugh therapy” and positive self-talk, among others. They worked. He lived lustily for another 26 years, and wrote several books about health and healing. So perhaps we should pay attention to his belief that “each patient carries his own doctor inside him”—that at least some of our power to cure ourselves resides in inner sources that are not understood or accredited by traditional medicine. This would be a valuable hypothesis for you to consider and test in the coming weeks, Cancerian. (Caveat: But don’t stop drawing on traditional medicine that has been helping you.) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In accordance with astrological rhythms, I’m giving you permission to be extra regal and majestic in the coming weeks. You have a poetic license to be a supremely royal version of yourself, even to the point of wearing a jeweled crown and purple silk robe. Would you prefer a gold scepter with pearls or a silver scepter with rubies? Please keep in mind, though, that all of us non-Leos are hoping you will be a noble and benevolent sovereign who provides enlightened leadership and bestows generous blessings. That kind of behavior will earn you the right to enjoy more of these lofty interludes in the future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, I will refer to you as The Rememberer. Your task will be to deepen and refine your relationship with the old days and old ways—both your own past and the pasts of people you care about most. I hope you will take advantage of the cosmic rhythms to reinvigorate your love for the important stories that have defined you and yours. I trust you will devote treasured time to reviewing in detail the various historical threads that give

such rich meaning to your web of life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Those who build walls are their own prisoners,” wrote Libran author Ursula K. Le Guin. She continued, “I’m going to fulfill my proper function in the social organism. I’m going to unbuild walls.” I hope that sounds appealing to you, Libra. Unbuilding walls is my first choice for your prime assignment in the coming weeks. I’d love to see you create extra spaciousness and forge fertile connections. I’ll be ecstatic if you foster a rich interplay of diverse influences. If you’re feeling super-plucky, you might even help unbuild walls that your allies have used to half-trap themselves. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If you can’t help me grow, there’s no point with you being in my life.” Singer and actress Jill Scott said that. In my view, Scorpios may be the only sign of the zodiac that can assert such a sentiment with total sincerity and authority. For many of the other tribes, it might seem harsh or unenforceable, but for you it’s exactly right—a robust and courageous truth. In addition to its general rightness, it’s also an especially apt principle for you to wield right now. The coming weeks will be a potent time to catalyze deep learning and interesting transformations in concert with your hearty allies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “You live best as an appreciator of horizons, whether you reach them or not.” Those words from poet David Whyte would be a perfect motto for you to write out on a piece of paper and tape to your bathroom mirror or your nightstand for the next 30 years. Of all the tribes in the zodiac, you Sagittarians are most likely to thrive by regularly focusing on the big picture. Your ability to achieve small day-by-day successes depends on how well you keep the long-range view in mind. How have you been doing lately with that assignment? In the coming weeks, I suspect you could benefit from hiking to the top of a mountain—or the metaphorical equivalent—so you can enjoy seeing as far as you can see. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sensible Capricorn author E. M. Forster (1879–1970) said, “Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity.” That’s the opposite of what many poets and novelists have asserted down through the ages, which is that passion isn’t truly passion unless it renders you half-crazy, driven by obsession, and subject to delusion and irrationality. But in offering you counsel in this horoscope, I’m aligning myself with Forster’s view. For you in the coming weeks, Capricon, passion will help you see clearly and keep you mentally healthy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Alpine swifts are small birds that breed in Europe during the summer and then migrate long distance to Africa for the winter. Ornithologists were shocked when they discovered that at least some of these creatures fly for more than 200 days without ever once landing on the ground. They’re not always flapping their wings—sometimes they glide—but they manage to do all their eating and drinking and sleeping and mating in mid-air. Metaphorically speaking, I think it’s important for you to not act like the alpine swifts in the coming months, dear Aquarius. Please plan to come all the way down to earth on a regular basis. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There’s substantial evidence that when people talk to themselves out loud in the midst of doing a task, they improve their chances of succeeding at the task. Have you ever heard athletes giving themselves verbal encouragement during their games and matches? They’re using a trick to heighten their performance. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to experiment with this strategy in the coming weeks. Increase your brainpower by regularly offering yourself encouraging, supportive instructions. It’s fine if you just sort of whisper them, but I’d love it if now and then you also bellowed them.l

Homework: Imagine it’s 30 years from now and you’re telling God the worst things and best things you ever did. What would they be? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

THE THOUGHT REALLY DOES

COUNT GIFT GUIDE

0 2 0 Gifts p. 2 2-23 Index p. 24

Well, this is different. We won’t be packing into shops or elbowing one another out of the way for bargains. This year, a more thoughtful approach is the way to go. Even when we’re apart, we can still send one another something special, a little cheer at the close of a roller coaster year. And instead of a frenzy of clicks on massive corporate websites, we can look around at the local shops we want to support and do our browsing and buying there, whether online or in person. Flip through this year’s Gift Guide and you’ll find something for the gourmet in your life (wooden spoons? prestige cast iron?), the reader (local novel? beautiful journal?), the wilderness explorer (Everest-worthy boots? wood-handled axes?) and the little tykes (you think you have enough puzzles for winter but you don’t). And you’ll find all kinds of little luxuries that make staying home a pleasure, like cozy throws, sturdy mugs, comfy chairs and Humboldt-grown cannabis products. Every one of these does double duty, bringing joy to the person who unwraps it and a boost to the local businesses that sell it. It’s not just holiday spending, it’s investing in our community. That’s why the thought counts even more this year.
