Dear Patients, Staff and Friends, About thirty-nine years ago my wife and I came to Eureka on a two year sabbatical. Needless to say, we fell in love with Humboldt County, not only because of its beauty, but the sense of family within the community. We would like to take this time to thank our ofﬁce staff and the doctors, nurses and staff at St Joseph’s, Redwood Memorial and Mad River Community Hospitals. A community is only as good as its teachers, ﬁrst responders and health care providers. Working as physicians in Humboldt County, we have had the pleasure of meeting and working with many health care providers. We have also received great care from physicians locally. I have had two surgeries, one with Dr. Lock and the other with Dr. Palmer. After having a second opinion at UCSF for my wife’s shoulder surgery, we decided that Dr. McGoldrick at Humboldt Medical Specialists was as capable as the surgeon in San Francisco who specialized professional football players sports injuries. We made the decision to have our surgeries at St Joseph Hospital. Our experience as patients was phenomenal! From the clinic setting to the hospital stay, we could not have been more pleased with our care. We are proud of the health care providers in our community and the service they provide. Above all, we thank the community of Humboldt. We are truly grateful and look forward to many more years to come. Kusum and I would like to thank you for your support and we wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving and a Happy and Safe Holiday Season.

Dr. Deepak Stokes & Dr. Kusum Stokes

Wind Skeptics

Editor: It’s natural to see climate catastrophe as an environmental problem: CO2, wind and rain, melting glaciers ... The environmental knowledge which drives your solution has at its roots in the wisdom acquired over 10,000 years or more. Traditional Ecological Knowledge, TEK for short, values sharing life with all creatures and plants — their well-being tied-up with ours — the environmentalism of Rachel Carlson. Some cling to technical solutions concocted by the very same forces that produced the problems they seek to address: runaway industrial growth, pollution, over-consumption, the internet’s electrical imperative. Reducing greenhouse gases is not a technical problem. Solutions by machines, engineering, chemistry and the like just make it easier to over-consume and demand more. They don’t reach the root of the imbalance driving climate catastrophe. Manufacturing electricity for a brief 30 years at great cost (in dollars and fossil fuels), as Terra-Gen proposes, is a technical solution sure to have unforeseen consequences and “significant and unavoidable impacts.” (“Planning Commission Gets and Earful from Wind Farm Opponents,” Nov. 21.) Our indigenous community speaks out against this. Wiyot are most affected, and other tribes stand solidly with them — people who successfully lived off-grid

since time immemorial. Western industrial culture has a deadly speed addiction. We want things now — blinding us to wisdom and help from those not addicted. The climate crisis is an opportunity to reset our relationship with each other and the earth — requiring a leap into an uncertain future with a faith in values more fundamental than the laws of gravity we manipulated to create it. Michael Evenson, Petrolia Editor: Kudos to Elaine Weinreb for her riveting piece on the Terra-Gen Wind generation project (“Green versus Green,” Nov. 14). Just a minor quibble: The title was misleading as the vast majority of speakers at the hearing — environmentalists, residents and the Wiyot Tribe — oppose the project. I encourage everyone to read the article to find out why. It’s enough for me to know that this sensitive environmental habitat — the “lungs of the Pacific Northwest” — is a sacred prayer site for the Wiyot people, to be against it. What I’d really like to know is why the planning commission is rushing through the process before the public has had time to fully digest the Final Environmental Impact Report? Generally, when this happens, it signifies that some folks are on the take. Shame on those commissioners who accepted meals or helicopter rides from Continued on page 11 »

Terra-Gen! (Shades of Ryan Sundberg?) Interesting how the private equity firm pushing the project is attempting to leverage the power outages to generate public approval. Disaster capitalism at work? Is this how lucrative projects get rammed through before the public has time to blink? Can’t say for sure, but I definitely smell a rat. Please call your reps and demand to know why this project is being rushed through before the environmental impacts are fully understood. And stand with the Wiyot for climate justice. Lisa Pelletier, Arcata

‘Everyone Was In The Loop’

Editor: According to the Nov. 20 bombshell public congressional testimony of Trump’s high-dollar donor Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the EU, “Everyone was in the loop. It was no secret.” No kidding! Could the Trump crime family possibly be any more transparently guilty than they already are? Not possible. (Mailbox, Nov. 14.) Or, as CBS News’ Weijia Jiang reported, “The question is: Is there a bus big enough to run over all of the people who are going down today?” Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, Rick Perry, Mick Mulvaney, John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani all have Ambassador Sondland’s televised tire marks on their backsides. Sometimes the truth hurts, and Trump’s laughable lies simply will not work. President Trumptanic has wrecked the American ship of state on his Impeachment iceberg. Benedict Donald’s failed fascist regime is rapidly sinking into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and Trump’s panicked partisan Republican passengers are running at full speed for the remaining political lifeboats. So much crime, so little time! Traitor Trump is going down, and the big blue electoral tidal wave on the way in 2020 will send innumerable corrupt conservative politicians into forced retirement, where they belong. Right-wing Republican members of Congress like Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan can incoherently yell and scream all they want about nonsense like nude Trump photos and crazy conspiracy theories they picked up straight from the Kremlin, no one cares. At this point, Republicans have no credibility, and they have no one to blame but themselves for their deplorable duplicity. Impeach Trump. Remove Trump. And lock him up! Jake Pickering, Arcata

“politics inform everything,” including Bernie Sanders, music and Russia. I volunteer with the grassroots Bernie 2020 Humboldt group because I believe that Bernie’s ideas and proposals would benefit working families throughout Humboldt County. Part of the work of our campaign is correcting misconceptions about Bernie with factual information, or what we like to call “receipts.” For example, the author refers to “older, Soviet-era American socialists” as “Bernie Bros.” This is a term Bernie’s opponents began using during the 2016 campaign to perpetuate a fiction that Bernie was not supported by women. Bernie has high approval ratings among women and I encourage readers to watch inspiring speeches in support of Bernie from a diverse squad of leaders, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Nina Turner, Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and author Naomi Klein. Regarding music and the idea that “politics inform everything,” I’m happy to tell people about Bernie’s musical connections and some of the artists who have endorsed him. Bernie himself recorded an album of folk songs and spoken word in 1987 and is supported by Ariana Grande, Cardi B and Killer Mike. I recommend readers check out musical performances from recent “huge” Bernie rallies by Jack White, Ozomatli and The New Power Generation. A few points about Russia merit response. The charge of Bernie being a “supporter of Soviet totalitarianism” is not demonstrated by his record. Bernie has long championed democratic principles and stands against authoritarian forms of government. Bernie’s plans to empower the working class is a powerful antidote to interference in the electoral process from not only foreign governments but also from the American billionaires and Super PACs that are trying to manufacture consent and buy our elections. Rob Amerman, McKinleyville

Corrections

A story in the Nov. 21, 2019, edition of the North Coast Journal headlined “Planning Commission Gets an Earful from Wind Farm Opponents” spelled Commission Chair Robert Morris’ name incorrectly. Additionally, the story in the same issue headlined “Recycling’s New Reality” incorrectly attributed a statistic regarding the percentage of recycling California historically sent to China that was contaminated. The Journal regrets both errors. l northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

Planning Commission Denies Wind Farm Project

Thank You

Family, Friends,

or the third week in a row, overflow crowds filled the supervisors’ chamber for nearly five hours on Nov. 21 to hear the county planning commission discuss the possible permitting of the Terra-Gen Wind Farm Project. Thirty-one members of the public who had not been given time to speak at the previous meeting were allowed their time at the microphone. About half of the people initially listed did not show up, apparently discouraged by their long wait the previous week. Of the 15 who did, three supported the project, citing the urgent necessity of dealing with climate change; the others recommended denial, basically saying the project was in the wrong location and would do more harm than good. Impacts to wildlife, including the endangered marbled murrelet, fire danger caused by high-tension electrical lines running through forest and desecration of a site deemed sacred by the Wiyot Tribe were the three most commonly stated reasons. At-large Planning Commissioner Brian

Mitchell was absent, which proved significant when it came time for the commissioners to vote. Terra-Gen Senior Director for Wind Development Nathan Vajdos, before requesting that the commission approve his project, listed several ways in which it had been modified since the last hearing to make it more acceptable to the community. A bird technical advisory committee would be established to evaluate bird mortality from the project. Herbicides and rodenticides would be banned. Scent detection dogs would be used to locate bird carcasses. To help the county economically, Terra-Gen would establish a “point of sale” in Humboldt County, basically letting the county receive sales tax credit for purchasing the turbines. Planning staff then discussed the project in great detail, adding a few conditions to the approval documents and removing others. Then they re-opened the floor for public comment on the applicant’s

statements and the staff report. Another 43 individuals commented. Chair Robert Morris limited these comments to one minute each, which meant that the speaker barely had time to adapt the microphone to face level before the warning light started flashing. The vast majority of people used their minute to criticize both the project and the adequacy of the planning documents. “You’re not sitting here determining the future of the human race,” Dan Berger told the commissioners. “You’re determining the future of Humboldt County.” “This is a greenwashed false solution

to climate change,” said Isabelle Oshoff. Another speaker, Marie Grottery, cited studies showing the useful life of wind turbines was nowhere near 30 years. The Wiyot Tribe presented a petition, saying it was signed by 1,800 individuals opposing the project. One speaker was so vehement that the sheriff’s office had to remove him from the room. A 9-year-old girl, however, urged the commission to accept the project, “or we will all die,” she said. After public comment was closed for the second time that evening, the

Fourth District Commissioner Mike Newman said he saw a lot of NIMBY-ism in the project’s opponents. He noted that people do not seem to be cutting down on their electrical usage or driving less. He said he thought the project would make Humboldt more self-reliant and praised Terra-Gen for trying to accommodate the county’s concerns. First District Commissioner Alan Bongio noted that the project was a way for the Russ Ranch to stay whole and that subdividing the land into cannabis farms was a lot worse for the environment. Third District Commissioner Noah Levy noted that the Wiyot do not have legal access to the ridges and denying the project would not necessarily save the land from environmental degradation. Morris, who represents the Second District, noted that the job of the planning commission was to ascertain if a proposed project conformed to existing regulations, not to create policy, which was already done with the General Plan that residents already had ample opportunity to comment on. He noted that even as the commission deliberated, communities to the east were under a red flag alert, and that PG&E was not able to make the necessary changes to keep the state fire safe. Moreover, he said that the Humboldt Redwood Co., one of the property’s owners, had a “sterling record” of land management. “This project,” he said, “is a giant step in the right direction.” Fifth District Commissioner Peggy O’Neill said that she opposed the project and if the community clearly did not want the project built, it should be rejected. She supported offshore wind energy as a better alternative. Levy praised the public for its enthusiastic participation. He said that a great deal of information had come in

We strive to provide high-quality, individualized attention to each case and have the experience and resources to ensure that our clients obtain the very best result.

commissioners began their deliberations, arguing with each other and questioning the planning staff for about an hour and a half on every aspect of the project and the ways in which it would be supervised and mitigated if it went forward. Some of the commissioners seemed most interested in the financial aspects of the project, ranging from the amount of money it would bring into the county to how best to determine the cost of the decommissioning bond. Others were more interested in the project’s environmental impacts and its effects upon the Wiyot people. Commissioner Melanie McCavour, after reminding the audience that commissioners are not elected officials and their decision could be appealed to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, spoke for a half hour on the project’s flaws and her dismay that so many people in the county were being pitted against one another. She also said she believed the Indigenous people of the county were being given short shrift. An environmental scientist, McCavour noted that the project summed up the huge double bind our civilization is facing — how to hold back life-threatening climate change without also destroying the biodiversity that maintains life. She also said that the turbine models were old and would soon be considered obsolete, and that the economic value of the project was marginal for Terra-Gen. “The international community would be appalled,” McCavour said. “The idea that we would be pulling up plants and offering them back to the tribes is embarrassing, shameful and insulting. …. You will make the international news for trying to put an old-style wind farm on sacred ridges in the world’s only temperate redwood rainforest. Is that really what we want to do?”

too quickly for anybody to properly evaluate, including some that had arrived just that morning. He noted that the lack of preparation would make the county vulnerable if a lawsuit were to occur — which several public speakers had promised. Finally, Newman moved to certify the EIR and approve the necessary permits. The move was seconded by Bongio and a roll call vote was held, with Newman, Bongio, and Morris voting yes and McCavour, O’Neill and Levy voting no. Since Mitchell was absent, that made a split vote, which Planning and Building Director John Ford said was not a majority. He asked if there were any conditions that could be added to the project that would induce anybody to change their vote. None of the commissioners responded. Vajdos, moreover, said that he wanted a clear yes-or-no answer that night. Ford then said the other alternative was to vote to deny the project. McCavour immediately moved to deny the project, with O’Neill seconding. Newman and Morris voted against the motion, Levy after some indecision voted to support it, as did McCavour and O’Neill. After a moment of nail-biting suspense, Bongio voted with McCavour, O’Neill and Levy. The project was denied. This is probably not the end of the matter. By plunking down $1,250, Terra-Gen can appeal the decision to the board of supervisors. Stay tuned. l Elaine Weinreb is a freelance journalist and prefers she/her pronouns. She tries to repay the state of California for giving her a degree in environmental studies and planning (Sonoma State University) at a time when tuition was still affordable.

any people were recently left without what has become their fall tradition. For 38 years the Northern California Indian Development Council (NCIDC) has put on the Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner around Veterans Day. This year there was no reveling in the reunion of friends and family, no basking in the glow of honor placed upon the elders and veterans in our community. The Northern California Indian Development Council is an intertribal nonprofit organization whose members include Blue Lake Rancheria, Elk Valley Rancheria, the Indian Action Council, the Karuk Tribe, the Nor-El-Muk Tribe/ Band of Wintu Indians/Wintu Nation, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation, Trinidad Rancheria, the Tsnungwe Tribe of California, United Indian Health Services, the Wintu Educational and Cultural Council, the Wiyot Tribe and the Yurok Tribe. As NCIDC’s Executive Director Greg Gehr put it, “It was a perfect storm of declining contributions and rising costs,” that

killed the event. Like dammed up rivers that kept fish off the menu at previous years’ gatherings, major contributors and donations that once covered the $50,000 cost of the event dried up. It takes donations from a variety of local tribes, nonprofits, foundations and businesses to pay for the ITG/Elders Dinner. That funding declined over the past decade. While working at NCIDC, I pleaded the case for the ITG to many a tribal council and other funding entities. In the past, many partners ponied up but in recent years bestowments became more and more scarce. It also takes more hours than most realize to pull off the event, with its countless administrative details. Planning started in earnest in the early summer and continued up through the week prior spent at the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds preparing for, hosting and cleaning up after the daylong celebration. It was a herculean effort made by the small staff of NCIDC and the army of those who stepped up to the call for assistance every year to ensure that the Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

eagerly anticipated get-together was held. More than 300 volunteers per year were needed to pull off a successful gathering and local drug and alcohol rehab facilities, Humboldt State University organizations and Greek houses, community clubs and individuals have always been there to provide succor and lend a hand. Having worked at NCIDC for over 20 years and being in the local Native community all of my adult life, I have worked at more ITG/Elders Dinners than I can recall. I have a myriad of fond memories from cooking and serving tons of food to providing a memento to an elder full of gratitude. Gifts of blankets and other items were always given to all attending elders over 55, regardless of race. The gifts were typically handed out by local youth, reinforcing the special role elders play in Native culture, and it always amazed me how the smallest present was cherished by recipients. The schedule of events usually included dancers from California Tribes, as well as the Intertribal Pow Wow Dance demonstration and the always popular Aztec dancers. A special recognition of all veterans was on the agenda and a variety of Native American craft vendors

helped kick off the holiday shopping season. A traditional salmon dinner, cooked over alder wood, in addition to a holiday meal of turkey and all the trimmings, was served free of charge to all elders in attendance and to others in the community for a nominal donation. Local politicians and those well known in the community served the dinner to the hungry participants, who would often show up hours early to get a seat. Annually, more than 1,500 meals were served. The ITG/Elders Dinner evolved over the years. At one point, it was a three-day event starting on a Friday and concluding that Sunday with another pow wow and a community breakfast. At another point, it was moved from November to September in hopes of better weather and was held in the center of the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds racetrack. But the elders clamored for their usual one-day November event, so it was restored to its original time and place. In a recent press release, NCIDC Chair Ruby Rollings commented that the ITG/Elders Dinner “is not ending, it is evolving.” Due to the cancelation of its flagship event, NCIDC has opened up a

It is sad when such a treasured event such as the ITG/Elders Dinner goes by the wayside. It was a wonderful time for the entire local community to come together to share in Native culture and share in the American Indian tradition of celebrating our elders.

State Surgeon General Talks ACEs at Town Hall

he Sequoia Conference Center on Humboldt County Office of Education’s campus was at capacity Nov. 21, with 448 people landing a seat while at least another 100 watched from a live stream in a separate room. The draw was a conversation among California’s first Surgeon General Nadine Burke Harris and a panel of locals spearheading Humboldt County’s efforts to alleviate the impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences, also known as ACEs. “Thank you for all the incredible work you are doing here in Humboldt, to all of you on the panel. For me, most [important] of all, is thanks to all of you for being here tonight because this is how we break the intergenerational cycle (of ACEs),” Harris said. “We do it in community and we do it by showing up and having this conversation and talking about these challenges.” ACEs are traumatic experiences (like violence, abuse, neglect and/or separation from a parent) faced by children. Each experience counts as one ACE. As Harris described it, these traumatic experiences activate our fight-or-flight response. While the response itself is a survive tool, when it is constantly stimulated, it releases toxic stress, which can cause health issues later in life. Humboldt

and Mendocino counties have some of the highest rates of ACEs, according to a study by the Center for Youth Wellness, which found that 75 percent of residents have experienced one or more ACEs while more than 30 percent of residents have experienced more than four ACEs. Humboldt County’s efforts started three years ago, when state Sen. Mike McGuire hosted the first town hall on the subject. Last week’s meeting informed community members and health officials on where Humboldt stands with its mission to prevent ACEs and toxic stress, build resilience and provide trauma-informed care through each of the organizations on the panel. McGuire moderated the town hall, which included Harris, First 5 Humboldt Executive Director Mary Ann Hansen, Hoopa Valley Tribe Education Director Erika Chase, county Superintendent of Schools Chris Hartley, Department of Health and Human Services Director Connie Beck and Candy Stockton, medical director of Humboldt Independent Practice Association. The discussion also featured a brief update on the funding available for ACEs intervention, both statewide and locally.

WEEK IN WEED

Death, Taxes and McConnell’s Obstruction By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n case you thought the U.S. House of Representatives couldn’t impeach and chew gum at the same time, the House made history last week and it had nothing to do with all those quids and quos rolling out in the House Intelligence Committee hearings. The House Judiciary Committee voted 24-10, with two Republicans joining the majority, on Nov. 20 to advance a bill removing cannabis from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act, becoming the first congressional committee to approve legislation to put an end to federal prohibition. But the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment (MORE) Act would do much more than that. While allowing states to set their own cannabis policies, the bill would provide incentives for states to clear the criminal records of people convicted of low-level cannabis offenses and impose a 5 percent tax on cannabis products to fund job training and legal assistance programs for “those hardest hit by the war on drugs,” particularly communities of color. The legislation goes much further than the STATES Act, which was introduced earlier this year to much fanfare and would simply end federal prohibition and leave individual states to set their own cannabis laws. And while some fear the MORE Act is too progressive — attempting to move the country too far, too quickly — it seems poised to pass the full Democrat-controlled House. But hold your applause. The bill is likely dead on arrival in the Senate, destined to land in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s graveyard. On the plus side, it will have plenty of company there, joining the likes of the For the People Act, the Equality Act, the American Dream and Promise Act, the Paycheck Fairness Act, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, the Climate Action Now Act, the Raise the Wage Act, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and the Dream and Promise Act, bills that aimed to do everything from create gender pay equity, prevent LGBTQ discrimination and expand background checks for gun purchases. And mind you, it’s not just that the Senate hasn’t passed these bills or that they’ve stalled in committee — they haven’t even made it to a hearing.

And that’s all due to McConnell, who’s simply refused to let his colleagues take up any of them. It seems incredibly unlikely the MORE Act will fare any better. The Kentucky Republican has a long history of interdicting weed legislation — with the notable exception of last year’s Farm Bill, which legalized hemp and CBD products and promised an economic boom for the Bluegrass State as tobacco demand continues to wane. In fact, McConnell has said plainly he has “no plans to endorse the legalization of marijuana.” So expect the MORE Act to potentially pass the House with much fanfare before dying a quiet death in the Senate, and remember all this in 2020 amid what will certainly be a steady chorus of lies about do-nothing House Democrats. Like or hate them, House Democrats have been passing bills on issues they campaigned on, including ending the failed policy of federal cannabis prohibition. If you’re one of the many producers or consumers out there lamenting the price of legal cannabis, we’ve got some bad news: In the immortal words of Marlo Stanfield, the price of the brick is going up. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration announced Nov. 21 that it is again raising taxes on the industry, which Forbes warns will “further exacerbate price point discrepancies between the compliant and non-compliant markets.” Specifically, the state is increasing its required mark-up rate on cannabis business transactions, demanding that retailers sell products for 80 percent more than they purchase them for, rather than the existing 60-percent markup, which will increase costs for consumers by about 12.5 percent. Meanwhile, the state will also bump cultivation tax rates from $9.25 to $9.65 per ounce of dried flower. Josh Drayton, a spokesperson for the California Cannabis Industry Association, told the New York Times he expected the changes would result in consumers paying $5 to $10 more per eighth-ounce of cannabis purchased at dispensaries.l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Roasted winter squash with tahini dressing.

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

am not a fan of winter, mostly because of the short days. The only time the word winter brings a smile to my face is in winter squash, one of my favorite foods. Thanksgiving-related cooking activities dominate this week. While I have nothing to add to your tried-and-true set of recipes for turkey and other traditional dishes, I am here to tell you that winter squash are your friends for the holiday table. There is a wide variety of them, you can cook them in many ways and they are excellent. They are also a great option for guests who don’t eat meat and offer help in dealing with that post-Thanksgiving reality: leftovers. If the above is not enough, consider the following: You can purchase winter squash in advance and if you don’t cook them right away, they will keep. They are festive, so you can use some as decorative centerpiece before they become a dinner dish. For several years now, I have been playing a game: Every fall I try at least one new variety of winter squash, to avoid falling into the rut of known favorites. This year, at the farmers market of my hometown of Perugia, Italy, I met a beauty: large, oblong with a slightly bulbous end, dark green skin and bright orange flesh. Called Lunga di Napoli squash, it is a variety of Cucurbita moschata (like butternut squash). Given its large size, it was sold by the piece or slice. I hope some of our local farmers become curious about this gorgeous squash. (Contact me if you are.) One of the things I did with my slices of Lunga di Napoli squash (that you can do with a butternut squash as well) was to peel it, cube it, drizzle it with olive oil, sprinkle it with salt and roast it. It takes about 20 minutes at 400 F to cook squash this way and then you have a simple side dish or the ingredient for a more complex one.

In California, this season I fell under the spell of buttercup and kabocha squash (aka, Japanese pumpkin), both varieties of Cucurbita maxima. (The buttercup’s bottom has a circular ridge, the kabocha’s doesn’t.) I like them both, sliced and roasted, with different sauces drizzled on top. More about this in just a moment. In reference to squash’s versatility, here are a few recipes from my past contributions to the Journal, as well as a new one for roasted squash served with a versatile tahini sauce. I hope you will find one or more to make guests at your table happy. Stuffed Acorn Squash. Acorn and delicata squash are great vessels for stuffing of all kinds, including leftovers (see “Sweetening Wintertime,” Nov. 12, 2015). Winter Squash Soup. This hearty winter meal has a bright orange color to cheer you on dark days (see “Straight from the Farm,” Jan. 9, 2014). Winter Squash Galette. Deborah Madison’s crust makes the squash into an elegant vegetarian meal (see “Z is for Zucca,” Feb. 4, 2010).

Roasted Winter Squash

Number of servings depends on the size of the squash. Serve with your choice of sauce, like the tahini recipe below. Ingredients: Buttercup, kabocha or delicata Extra-virgin olive oil Fine sea salt Heat the oven to 400 F. Halve the squash lengthwise, removing seeds and strings (a grapefruit spoon is my favorite tool to do this). Use a sturdy swivel vegetable peeler to peel the squash. Or don’t: Winter squash skin is edible, though not always palatable. If using a delicata squash, definitely skip

the peeling. Cut each half into ½ inch-thick slices (crosswise in the case of delicata, otherwise lengthwise). Place the slices into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle a small amount of sea salt and toss well. Distribute the slices in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and roast for 20-22 minutes or until fork tender, turning the slices halfway through. Take the squash out of the oven, place on a serving dish, dress with the sauce of choice and serve immediately.

Tahini Sauce Makes about ½ cup.

2 roasted garlic cloves, peeled and mashed; or 1 fresh garlic clove, peeled and minced ¼ cup tahini, homemade or store-bought (I favor toasted sesame tahini) ¼ cup cold water 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt To roast the garlic, heat the oven to 400 F. Wrap the unpeeled garlic cloves in foil and put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes (beside the squash if you’re baking it). Let cool for a few minutes before unwrapping. In a blender, whiz all the tahini sauce ingredients until smooth. (If using roasted garlic, you can use a small whisk to make the sauce.) Store in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving. l Simona Carini also writes about her adventures in the kitchen on her blog www.pulcetta.com She prefers she/her pronouns.

DOWN & DIRTY

Blackouts and Enchanted Gardens

Est. in Fortuna 1894

By Katie Rose McGourty

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

ere on the home farm, we used October’s electricity-free hours to get ahead of winter gardening chores. Our clover cover crop has successfully germinated and the leaves on the apple trees and blueberries are turning lovely shades of yellow and crimson. We carefully stacked firewood, cleared out the summer vegetables and got out the barrels to catch rain off the roof. The blackout, as startling as it was, gave us extra time to catch up on growing food. As the days become rapidly shorter, we’ve made the most of the mid-autumn sunshine. We’re planting cool weather-loving leafy greens like spinach and arugula. We’re filling the gaps in the cabbage patch and planting onions and leeks. Spring flowering bulbs such as daffodils and tulips can also be planted now. It’s also a fabulous time to apply cardboard or mulch layering to clear new areas for farming next spring. Recently a good gardener friend of ours said, “Make a secret garden out of the ugliest and messiest part of the landscape.” Spending most of our waking hours outside in the windy sunshine during the blackouts, we began to brainstorm. We’ve got no shortage of chaos portals — productivity can lead to piles. We decided to do the boring things first like put away tools and supplies. Like why is the Leaning Tower of Paint Cans in the middle of the garden shed? Sweeping out the shed and restoring order led to the discovery of some abandoned abalone shells, and a mermaid garden was born! Creating a fantasy garden can bring home farming to a whole new level. Sometimes the magic of the plant kingdom — watching things grow from seeds to maturity — takes a little longer than anticipated and we

A little magic and imagination can turn a messy garden corner into a wonderland. Shutterstock need a fun distraction to keep us going outside every day. Integrating a visual representation of garden magic such as mermaids, fairies, gnomes and angels adds artistic flair to inspire us through the routine tasks of watering, weeding and composting. Who cares what the weather is like? We need to visit the mermaid. Children especially feel drawn toward small friends tucked away in unexpected places. The focal character can be personalized and live wherever needed. Our mermaid garden consists of ferns and seashells. A fairy garden can be dotted with any flower and crystal combination. Dinosaurs might lurk in the cactus or succulent garden, and gnomes in the culinary herbs. Let the imagination wander and ugly untidiness will disappear. In order to maintain a natural aesethic, avoid plastic and make your magical creatures out of stone, glass or ceramics that withstand the elements without fading or peeling away. Getting down to the magical scale generally means thinking in inches rather than feet. Creating tiny worlds within a large backyard takes a certain amount of planning to feel whimsical rather than haphazard. Don’t be discouraged if things get lost in the weeds or knocked over in a windstorm. The idea is to bring life to challenging spots of the landscape, such as shade and fence lines. Fountains, wind chimes and solar lights bring a magical feel to any normal yard. Mosaics, spray paint and hand painted yard signs also quickly change the vibe from suburban backyard to enchanted garden. Sweet groundcovers, like baby tears, alyssum and violets, offer easy-tocare-for “micro” plants that can support

the character of your choosing. Climbing roses and vines, such as passionflower, wisteria or trumpet vine, also offer ways to use vertical space that might otherwise go empty of botanical life. Allow the enchanted garden to evolve over time. The passage of seasons offers a chance to observe the garden under all light angles and weather conditions. Moving figures around during each season can make the landscape seem different enough to inspire new plantings and outdoor use areas, such a morning coffee spot, rainy day hideaway or summer dinner area. As energy uncertainty continues, we aspire to go off the grid now more than ever. Why not use the solar juice to replace one electric device at a time? A great place to start is by putting up a clothesline. We quit using the dryer a few years back and much prefer using sunlight to dry our clothes, bot for the fresh smell and how sunlight kills bacteria and viruses without any harsh chemicals. Thinking about the potential of losing electricity during the darkest time of the year makes us focus on natural rhythms of sunrise and sunset, as well as keeping the fire going to stay warm. As the mega-model for electricity in California becomes less reliable, let’s think about food and energy on a small scale. However life changes, we can always count on the sun rising and the food to keep growing. l Katie Rose McGourty is the owner of Healthy Living Everyday at www.healthy-living-everyday. org.

2019 here’s a wild idea: You could enjoy shopping for holiday gifts. You don’t have to scroll around the faceless internet and click alone in the screen light, sending your dollars to some far-off corporation. Instead, you could flip through this gift guide, circling what reminds you of someone and makes you smile. Then you could go out to a local shop, talk to the folks there, who’ll be genuinely happy to see you. You could actually sniff the rosewood and vanilla perfume to see if it’s right for your sister. You could feel that soft flannel shirt that caught your eye for your spouse (and take a few steps in those boots for you). Then you could pay somebody you’ve actually met and walk out with the perfect present (do they giftwrap?) as they wish you a happy holiday. Go ahead, enjoy the giving this year.

music@northcoastjournal.com

have been getting a lot of pushback for some of my opinions lately. This is good, people should talk. And if I’m right, I don’t need to worry too hard about defending myself, assuming that there is such a thing as objective reality and the spin cycle of post-modernism hasn’t melted us into insanity and solipsism. So I’d like to address something I should have said in last week’s column and that I hope we can all agree on: Nov. 27 is the birthday of both Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee, two of the greatest Americans who ever lived, and should absolutely be a national holiday. Now go watch Enter the Dragon and listen to Are You Experienced? And be thankful.

Thursday (Thanksgiving)

No music today because of Turkey Day but if you want to do something good, may I suggest joining Centro del Pueblo’s vigil in front of the Humboldt County Courthouse in Eureka at 10 a.m. It is for those in our community who are unable to be at the table with their loved ones today because of the escalating government-sponsored xenophobia against immigrants in America. Love your neighbor and welcome them, for they are more like us and much finer beings than those who seek to divide us.

Friday

Portland comic Adam Pasi swings through the Savage Henry Comedy Club tonight at 9 p.m. Also on the tour is Alex Rios, while Jessica Grant opens and hosting duties are handled by Melo Rhae. How does one summarize the style of a comic for a (mostly) music-centered column? I can’t answer that, so here’s the second half of a highly stylized joke instead: “As the booking agent stared in numb horror at the finale of the act, which had contained the most hideous and morally obscene crimes against humanity from all history, unfathomable to decent and good people everywhere, he heard himself, as though from a distance, stammering out a whisper of a question.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

The Peking Acrobats perform Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Van Duzer Theatre. Submitted “What ... what do you call your act?” Prince Andrew, his voice bearing the full redolence of the horrific stench of monarchy, replied, ‘The Aristocracy!’”

Saturday

Mad River Alliance is having a Barn Boogie Birthday Bash to celebrate its ninth year as a clean water advocacy group for the Mad River watershed. The 7 p.m. event at the Arcata Veteran’s Hall is free and music will be provided by The Striped Pig String Band. Expect dancing, raffles and other frivolities. If you have any more dancing fuel left in your tank, you can burn it all down to the “E” mark at Humbrews tonight starting at 9 p.m. with another round of Soul Party curated by DJs Red, JayMorg and Funky T-Rex ($5).

Sunday

It’s the first day of December, roughly 30 days into the soulless celebration of the commercialization of Christmas. How about a metal show to distract from the evil, smothering crush of late-era American capitalism? RampArt Skatepark has the goods for you tonight: San Jose’s Exhumed links up with Oakland champs Necrot and the West Texas hardcore act Judiciary — now there’s a scary word these days — to deliver a bone-chipping show worthy of any half pipe at 8 p.m. ($15).

Monday

Pink Martini is a 12-piece pop orchestra returning to the 707 to fill the Van Duzer Theatre with the wild cocktail-ized sounds of world at 7 p.m. Imagine a soundtrack to the best mid-century cinema slideshow that finds a way to turn a disparate array of global sounds from “cacophony” to “consonantly sublime” on the aural graphics fader. Sounds good to me ($66).

Tuesday

Word Humboldt is having an open mic and feature performance at Northtown Coffee at 6 p.m. Featured local writer Greg Bee is celebrating the release of his new book Goodbye to Toxic Boys. As a caustic man, I should maybe sit this one out, but I encourage those of you with less foul characteristics to enjoy or participate. It’s free but donations are always appreciated.

Wednesday

I recently went down an internet rabbit hole investigating the history of Peking duck. I did not expect its history to go as far back as that of imperial China and the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the first millenium (according to western calendars). Turns out the history of Chinese variety shows and musical balancing acts goes back even further, to the age that the occidental world refers to as “B.C.” The tradition that survived the brutality of Mao’s cultural revolution is now perhaps best performed by the The Peking Acrobats. It’s an exhilarating mix of movement and live sound, and nothing quite like it exists in our cultural sphere, so if you can snag a ticket, you ought to treat yourself to the 7 p.m. show at the Van Duzer Theatre ($25-$39). l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. Collin Yeo knows that the corporate news is full of distractions that help the ruling class, and that if the working classes had the same solidarity as the ruling class, then there would be no ruling class. He prefers he/him pronouns and lives in Arcata.

Didn’t hear that coming? It’s probably an electric vehicle heading over to the Electric Vehicle Parade and Expo and Tree Lighting at Blue Lake Casino on Saturday Nov. 30 from 1 to 8 p.m. (TBA).

A Harry Potter Party? Are you Sirius? Make sure to show off your house pride (calm down, Gryffindor) on Thursday, Dec. 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. as Redwood Raks World Dance Studio hosts an all-house, allschools kids’ party with music, themed activities, treats and a splendor of Hogsmeade. Kids ages 5 and up are welcome but must be signed in and out by an adult. $8 per child. Bring on the butterbeer.

Forget the eager retail beavers of early October, the holiday season is now officially here. You’ve got Thanksgiving leftovers to fuel you as you strongarm shopping crowds or bake up batches of snowflake-shaped cookies to take to the office. Not feeling it? Could be impeachment hearing glut or that second round of the Humboldt crud. Or maybe it’s a bout of “How in Santa’s sack are we in December already?” Whatever the reason, here’s a sampler of seasonal events to help get you in the spirit. Santa rolls into Eureka in a Humboldt Bay Fire truck on Friday, Nov. 29 at 2 p.m. at the Old Town Gazebo. Bring the kids and snap pics with the jolly old elf while they tell him what they’d like to see under the tree this year. Speaking of, Santa would like you to make local businesses your target when looking for that perfect gift. Shop downtown and old town businesses for all your goodies during Eureka’s Small Business Saturday, happening Nov. 30. The Snowball Drop at the Old Town Gazebo can help you with that by raining little gifties down on you in the form of ping pong balls good for discounts, gifts and/or giveaways at local shops. Don’t be late. Despite what it says in our Gift Guide calendar (one in the naughty column), the blizzard starts promptly at 11:30 a.m. How about some Rockefeller Center Christmas magic right here in Humboldt? For five glorious weeks, the Humboldt Ice Rink is open at Belotti Hall at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds in Ferndale (Nov. 27 - Jan. 5). The Grand Opening Celebration and ribbon cutting is Friday, Nov. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. with live music, holiday treats, drinks and, of course, ice skating. Grownups, the Zamboni Lounge at the rink will be open from 5 to 10 p.m. selling beer, wine and hot buttered rum. Arcata Main Street kicks off the holidays on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30 from 3 to 9 p.m. in and around Arcata Plaza (free) with music, shopping, popcorn, cocoa and carriage rides (from 5 to 8 p.m.). The event is part of Arcata’s Season of Wonder and Light, which also includes a Holiday Open House, Arts! Arcata and a Winter Solstice Celebration all later in the month. Keep an eye on the Journal’s calendar for those dates. And back in the picturesque town of Ferndale, it’s America’s Tallest Living Christmas Tree Lighting on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m. (free). Join the community for cookies, cocoa, carols and the illuminating of the bright beautiful tree — a tradition since 1934. While in town, stop by the Ferndale Portuguese Hall for the annual Beans & Linguica Dinner from 4 to 7 p.m. ($12, $6 children 6-12). That feeling in your chest? It’s your heart growing three sizes. And that’s just this week’s calendar. — Kali Cozyris

Life Underground Parasite’s ugly truth By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

PARASITE. We are truly living in a golden age of scammers. Behold the sea of catfishing schemes, the jet-setting Anna Sorokin enjoyed on the tabs of rich Manhattanites by posing as a German heiress and the puffed-up conman we’ve installed in the White House, from whence he uses his position to fill his coffers and those of his offspring. So it makes sense that an incisive look at humanity as it stands might come from the scammer’s point of view. In the tense and explosive Parasite, South Korean writer and director Bong Joon Ho (Okja, 2017; Snowpiercer, 2013) holds a mirror to show us the cunning, fictions and bonds by which we survive, as well as the class system, doomed to erupt, in which rich and poor feed on each other. The Kim family is broke as hell, reduced to crouching in a corner of their basement apartment’s bathroom to use a neighbor’s wi-fi. Father Ki-taek (Kang-ho Song), mother Chung-sook (the alternately warm and steely Hye-jin Jang), son Ki-woo (Woo-sik Choi) and daughter Ki-jung (So-dam Park) are all unemployed but cheerfully unashamed, and blessed with the gift of grift. When a friend of the family offers to pass on a gig tutoring a wealthy high school girl to Ki-woo, he’s hesitant at first but, with a little help from his sister forging a university enrollment document, he takes to it like a natural. Besides, he reasons, he’ll go to university soon enough to make the lie true. In contrast to the Kims’ cramped slum, the Park family’s home is an architectural masterpiece with an open, spare aesthetic that embodies the ultimate luxury in Asian cities: empty space and sunlight. As Kevin the tutor, he impresses the fragile, neurotic Mrs. Park (a bird-like Yeo-jong Jo) and charms her daughter (Ji-so Jung) with Tony Robbins-level bullshit. Seeing an opening, he off-handedly makes up and sells the mother on Jessica, a sought-after children’s art teacher for her rambunctious little boy. Ki-jung easily takes up the role with cool authority, alternately playing on Mrs. Park’s pride and anxieties. One by one, the Kim family ousts and replaces the household staff with such inspired scheming and disciplined execution one wonders why they were ever poor. Little by little, maintaining the boundaries

Mr. Park (Sun-kyun Lee) insists on, they become trusted members of the household. It’s only when they begin to imagine themselves belonging in the Parks’ world and we glimpse their messy desperation and capacity for sudden violence that we know the false life they’ve constructed lie by lie around this wealthy family cannot hold. The sterile perfection of the Park household, too, is a fiction that will collapse when secrets bubble to the surface. It’s impossible not to enjoy the Kim family’s exploits and even the parents’ disturbing pride in their offspring’s capacity for conning is contagious. But when things go sideways, Bong deftly shifts gears and keeps the tension high with dizzying camerawork and close calls — do all your breathing in the first half of the movie. The performances are uniformly impressive but Song’s is a standout as we watch him come to understand how his employer, whom he comes to admire, sees him and how the stench of poverty will always cling to him — it’s devastating to watch him experience real shame for the first time. Likewise, Choi turns out a stunning portrayal of a young man confronting his self-delusions and the plans he’ll never make happen. Bong spares neither his characters nor his audience anything. Everyone, the wealthy Parks included, is playing at being someone else to escape their reality: The poor play house in the mansion while the rich fantasize about the seedy lives of their employees. And the dream of escaping the dankness of life in the basement is as futile as the worship of those who dwell above in the sunlight. (In Korean with subtitles.) R. 132M.

Lost in Space

Big Dipper over Trinidad By David Wilson

ncnightlights@northcoastjournal.com

he planet hung silently in space. A tiny jewel in the blackness, it was a half-lit marble of greens and browns and blues and whites. But it was more than a planet, it was a life-bearing droplet, a little oasis of life journeying in infinite patience in its timeless passage around the sun. Soft moonlight from its single silvery satellite played upon the planet’s face, creeping across continents and oceans as the world revolved in its glow. From the moment of its birth, the planet was in constant motion. It orbited its sun in a never-ending ellipse and it spun on its axis unceasingly. Beneath its surface, tectonic forces pushed and pulled, shaping the planet’s larger features. Forces on the surface and above it carved and polished the land. Rivers wore the terrain down and carried it in their flows to the oceans, and the oceans themselves sloshed to the rhythm of the moon, their waves and tides nibbling at the edges of the land. The atmosphere roiled continuously overhead and further smoothed the planet’s features in its persistent caress. Continents drifted, mountains rose and fell, glaciers came and went, each process shaping the land dramatically. But life on the planet was oblivious. Life is short and the pace of change was long, and life lived on unaware and unconcerned, shaped through the eons by the very forces it could not see. One night my brother Seth and I stood in the moonlight on the continent’s edge, two small, ephemeral life forms contemplating the planet we call home. The moon’s silvery orb hung in

At the western edge of the North American continent, on the rough shores of the great Pacific Ocean, Trinidad, Humboldt County, California, sparkles in the moonlight under a starry sky. The Big Dipper and Polaris, the North Star, have been enhanced for recognizability. Photo by David Wilson the sky, bathing the western edge of the North American continent in moonlight where it met the great Pacific Ocean. Rocks mingled with the waves, vainly resisting the erosive forces tearing them down. Yet they seemed permanent fixtures. We could not see the shape of the coastline changing before our eyes, but we knew it was. The waves crashed against rock and beach unceasingly, one after another, and still we saw no changes. A lifetime of observation would mostly note only minor changes to the shoreline or landscape. But a lifetime is merely a spark next to the long life of the Earth; what chance have I to glimpse any of these great processes except as a single snapshot? Up the coast from us, across the ocean waves smoothed by the long exposure of the camera’s patient eye, sparkled the little town of Trinidad. For as long as I can remember it has been there, and it will no doubt be there long after I’m gone. Yet it, too, will be gone in the blink of Earth’s eye. Or do we believe our civilization will last until the end? No, we are too fragile and tiny to be thinking in those terms. Humanity will die off before Earth does; Earth has billions of years left in her. Perhaps if we tread lightly, we will prolong our stay, and maybe we will last longer than we would have. ● To keep abreast of David Wilson’s most current photography or peer into its past, visit or contact him at his website mindscapefx.com or follow him on Instagram at @david_wilson_mfx.

ASTROLOGY

Free Will Astrology

CARTOONS

Week of Nov. 28, 2019 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: You have the power to re-genius yourself. Guidance: https://tinyurl.com/ReGeniusYourself

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Humans invented the plow in 4,500 BC, the wheel in 4,000 BC, and writing in 3,400 BC. But long before that, by 6,000 BC, they had learned how to brew beer and make psychoactive drugs from plants. Psychopharmacologist Ronald Siegel points to this evidence to support his hypothesis that the yearning to transform our normal waking consciousness is a basic drive akin to our need to eat and drink. Of course, there are many ways to accomplish this shift besides alcohol and drugs. They include dancing, singing, praying, drumming, meditating and having sex. What are your favorite modes? According to my astrological analysis, it’ll be extra important for you to alter your habitual perceptions and thinking patterns during the coming weeks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What’s something you’re afraid of, but pretty confident you could become unafraid of? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dismantle or dissolve that fear. Your levels of courage will be higher than usual, and your imagination will be unusually ingenious in devising methods and actions to free you of the unnecessary burden. Step one: Formulate an image or scene that symbolizes the dread, and visualize yourself blowing it up with a “bomb” made of a hundred roses. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The word “enantiodromia” refers to a phenomenon that occurs when a vivid form of expression turns into its opposite, often in dramatic fashion. Yang becomes yin; resistance transforms into welcome; loss morphs into gain. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Geminis are the sign of the zodiac that’s most likely to experience enantiodromia in the coming weeks. Will it be a good thing or a bad thing? You can have a lot of influence over how that question resolves. For best results, don’t fear or demonize contradictions and paradoxes. Love and embrace them. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There are Americans who speak only one language, English, and yet imagine they are smarter than bilingual immigrants. That fact amazes me, and inspires me to advise me and all my fellow Cancerians to engage in humble reflection about how we judge our fellow humans. Now is a favorable time for us to take inventory of any inclinations we might have to regard ourselves as superior to others; to question why we might imagine others aren’t as worthy of love and respect as we are; or to be skeptical of any tendency we might have dismiss and devalue those who don’t act and think as we do. I’m not saying we Cancerians are more guilty of these sins than everyone else; I’m merely letting you know that the coming weeks are our special time to make corrections. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Erotic love is one of the highest forms of contemplation,” wrote the sensually wise poet Kenneth Rexroth. That’s a provocative and profitable inspiration for you to tap into. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in the Season of Lucky Plucky Delight, when brave love can save you from wrong turns and irrelevant ideas; when the grandeur of amour can be your teacher and catalyst. If you have a partner with whom you can conduct these educational experiments, wonderful. If you don’t, be extra sweet and intimate with yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the follow-up story to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine uses a magic mirror as a portal into a fantastical land. There she encounters the Red Queen, and soon the two of them are holding hands as they run as fast as they can. Alice notices that despite their great effort, they don’t seem to be moving forward. What’s happening? The Queen clears up the mystery: In her realm, you must run as hard as possible just to remain in the same spot. Sound familiar, Virgo? I’m wondering whether you’ve had a similar experience lately. If so, here’s my advice: Stop running. Sit back, relax and allow the world to zoom

by you. Yes, you might temporarily fall behind. But in the meantime, you’ll get fully recharged. No more than three weeks from now, you’ll be so energized that you’ll make up for all the lost time — and more. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most sane people wish there could be less animosity between groups that have different beliefs and interests. How much better the world would be if everyone felt a generous acceptance toward those who are unlike them. But the problem goes even deeper: Most of us are at odds with ourselves. Here’s how author Rebecca West described it: Even the different parts of the same person do not often converse among themselves, do not succeed in learning from each other. That’s the bad news, Libra. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to promote unity and harmony among all the various parts of yourself. I urge you to entice them to enter into earnest conversations with each other! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Cecilia Woloch asks, “How to un-want what the body has wanted, explain how the flesh in its wisdom was wrong?” Did the apparent error occur because of some “some ghost in the mind?” she adds. Was it due to “some blue chemical rushing the blood” or “some demon or god”? I’m sure that you, like most of us, have experienced this mystery. But the good news is that in the coming weeks you will have the power to un-want inappropriate or unhealthy experiences that your body has wanted. Step one: Have a talk with yourself about why the thing your body has wanted isn’t in alignment with your highest good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian composer Ludwig van Beethoven was inclined to get deeply absorbed in his work. Even when he took time to attend to the details of daily necessity, he allowed himself to be spontaneously responsive to compelling musical inspirations that suddenly welled up in him. On more than a few occasions, he lathered his face with the 19th-century equivalent of shaving cream, then got waylaid by a burst of brilliance and forgot to actually shave. His servants found that amusing. I suspect that the coming weeks may be Beethoven-like for you, Sagittarius. I bet you’ll be surprised by worthy fascinations and subject to impromptu illuminations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 11 months, you could initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live from day to day. It’s conceivable you’ll discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your life’s possibilities to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I’m tempted to predict that you’ll celebrate at least one improvement that is your personal equivalent of the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history. Philosopher Georg Hegel said that. But I think you will have an excellent chance to disprove this theory in the coming months. I suspect you will be inclined and motivated to study your own past in detail; you’ll be skilled at drawing useful lessons from it; and you will apply those lessons with wise panache as you re-route your destiny. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his own time, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) was acclaimed and beloved. At the height of his fame, he earned $3,000 per poem. But modern literary critics think that most of what he created is derivative, sentimental and unworthy of serious appreciation. In dramatic contrast is poet Emily Dickinson (1830–1886). Her writing was virtually unknown in her lifetime, but is now regarded as among the best ever. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to sort through your own past so as to determine which of your work, like Longfellow’s, should be archived as unimportant or irrelevant, and which, like Dickinson’s, deserves to be a continuing inspiration as you glide into the future. l

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop− erty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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.
