What Now? Editor: Our board of supervisors recently voted down a renewable energy project (“Supes Deny Controversial Wind Project,” Dec. 19). The final Environmental Impact Report for the project showed that, taking into account carbon debt from cutting trees and construction, the anticipated savings would have been about 34 thousand metric tons (kMT) of CO2 per year. The project would have continued to generate power for decades without emitting CO2, but the net savings would have declined as PG&E’s electrical mix, theoretically, moves toward renewable energy, assuming renewable energy projects aren’t shut down elsewhere.

It is difficult to find a realistic alternative that gives a similar scale of greenhouse gas reductions while spreading the resulting burden relatively evenly across the county. Here’s one: Reduce the maximum allowed speed limit in Humboldt County to 55 mph. That’s based on an estimate that gasoline usage in Humboldt results in, roughly, 600 kMT of CO2 emissions per year, the guesstimate that about half of our driving is at speeds above 55 mph and the anticipated 10 to 15 percent increase in miles per gallon that a lowered speed limit would bring about, due to reduced wind drag at lower speeds. That gives a savings of 30 to 45 kMT per year, similar in scale to what the wind project would have saved.

We’ve already agreed, as a county, that we must reduce our emissions. Let’s all look for solutions, large and small, but let’s not fool ourselves about the scale of what’s required. The lower speed limit would add about five minutes to 30mile trips along U.S. Highway 101 or State Route 299. Assuming we’re sincere about finding a local response to the planetary emergency now evident to most of us, shouldn’t we all agree to lowered countywide highway speed limits? And if even that is too painful, why bother pretending we want to address the problem?

Mitch Trachtenberg, Trinidad Editor: Now that the divisive Terra-Gen project is behind us, perhaps it would be wise for leaders in Humboldt and Del Norte counties to take proactive steps to avoid this sort of conflict in the future. No. 1 on that list would be a process involving all segments of our communities to identify sites where we would like to see solar and wind energy developed.

Additionally, we should insist that any such developments are completed in a manner that allows for local power to

continue to be supplied from local sources when power is turned off to other parts of California due to wildfire risk or for any other reason. That’s known as “distributed power” and it makes good security sense for the North Coast.

Working together, we can create a safe and sustainable North Coast power grid. All that’s required to make it happen is real leadership.

Felice Pace, Klamath Editor: I attended the board of supervisors’ session on Terra-Gen to add my support for the Wiyot.

I came away with great respect for the effort the supervisors made to grapple with the issue and come to their best judgment, for the Wiyot who stood resolutely in their truth, for the 270 community members who spoke passionately and for Terra-Gen for moving us many steps forward in the awareness of what it will take to prioritize climate decisions.

We can’t afford to rest. We need a forum where the ideas that were shared — valuable ideas, ways to move toward climate independence and justice and curb our waste of energy — are reviewed.

We can’t afford to let those ideas and the energy in those sessions be lost. We will need much — grants to promote wise energy use, a plan for seriously expanding solar and micro grids, and much more.

The supervisors intend to hold strategy hearings and called for a task force but we also need real community involvement.

Perhaps a community-based working group to report to the task force? And we must find the right way to prioritize the voices and wisdom of our tribes. We need to be clear that biomass energy puts toxins into the environment. How do we come together now to move forward?

Lynn Robbins, Eureka

How easily that phrase “survival of the fittest” now rolls off our tongues. However, Darwin carefully described selection as the survival of the fit. To me, this is an important distinction. To survive, we need not be superlative, besting every other creature. What we must do is fit our environmental niche. (That includes our social environment.)

Being good enough is good enough.

Framing our existence as “survival of the fittest” has led us to emphasize the tooth-and-claw scramble to overcome all others and belittled the survival value, the survival necessity, of community and cooperation within and between species.

What progress we can see in the development of our species and our society is less the result of individuals’ drive to succeed and dominate than it is from our interdependence and care for others.

‘Witch-hunty’ Cartoon Editor: Hey NCJ! Thanks for the cool calendar (Dec. 26)! Didn’t have one yet. No thanks for the be witch-hunty, pro-vax cartoon (Cartoons, Dec. 26). Most anti-vaxxers I know have long since known that this study was discredited. It’s the vaxxers that bring it up. Old news. Some questions remain, however, like, what exactly am I injecting into my infant? And why so many?

And since we’re on the subject, what causes autism? One discredited study doesn’t prove that vaccines don’t cause autism.

Not on one side or the other, but this seems like an open question that requires fair intelligent debate. Again, thank you for the calendar.

Abe Walston III, Willow Creek

Let’s Come Together Editor: Brothers and sisters, regardless of the enormous difference in how we perceive the world around us, I refuse to see any of you as my enemy (“The Top 10 Stories of 2019,” Dec. 26). You and I, I’m certain, feel the same delight in a beautiful sunrise, a flower or the innocent laughter of a child.

Surely we feel joy and sorrow in the same way. We are, after all, members of the amazing human family, and I weep to see us set against each other. I simply will not believe that we cannot reach out to each other, agree on our basic common interest and work together in that interest.

In the name of all that is truly real, loving and holy, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

New Laws with New Protections Ring in the New Year

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

W

ith the new year come new laws and 2020 has a bevy of changes going into effect on everything from California’s minimum wage and the classification of independent contractors to protections for nursing mothers and a ban on smoking at state parks and beaches.

Here’s a glance at a few of the ones that may impact you in the first year of a new decade.

Minimum Wage Increase: California residents are getting another boost in 2020, with the minimum pay level going to $13 an hour for businesses with 26 or more employees and to $12 for those with fewer. That still leaves many workers below the $14.61 an hour estimated for a single person to make ends meet at a standard quality of life in California, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s living wage calculator. For a working couple with two children, that number increases to $19.48 each. The state’s incremental increases will continue each year until the minimum wage hits $15 in 2023 for all businesses.

Limitations on Contractors: For many businesses and workers, traversing the so-called gig economy is going to become a little more complicated. Under Assembly Bill 5, certain independent contractors — including ride-hailing drivers for Uber or Lyft, as well as freelance photographers and journalists — are reclassified as employees under certain circumstances, meaning they qualify for minimum wage, paid sick days and other benefits. The law has drawn the ire of some companies and contractors alike, with a group of freelance writers filing a lawsuit.

The Office of the Governor

Buzzkill on Roadkill: Remember all that excitement about Senate Bill 395 providing the opportunity to whip up dinner from the roadkill you found on the way home? Well, not so fast. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is here to remind residents of the Golden State that the new law simply “authorizes development of a program for what the bill describes as ‘salvageable wild game meat.’”

But, a recent CDFW release notes, “Such a program is not yet in place, contrary to many news articles and social media traffic.”

Limits on Lighting Up: No butts about it, taking a drag off a cigarette or vape pen at a state park or beach is going to be a no-go come January under Senate Bill 8.

The new law also enacts a fine for littering those same areas with said banned tobacco products, which account for a vast amount of trash discarded along our coastline.

Bad Bosses Beware: Employees with complaints of retaliation, discrimination or harassment will have extra time to make their claims in 2020 under Assembly Bill 9, with three years to report instead of the previous one-year limit.

A Private Place: New mothers will have additional protections in the new year, with Senate Bill 142 requiring workplaces to have a room or other clean area in which they can privately pump their milk.

And, no, bathrooms are not OK. Vax Review: The state is taking a further plunge into the highly divisive subject of vaccinations with Senate Bill 276, which begins to take effect in January. This law allows for the development of a form that must be filled out when a doctor gives a medical exemption. Those physicians with

five or more will be subject to review.

Renter Protections: This year, renters will have more rights against evictions and sudden rent hikes under Assembly Bill 1482. This law prevents landlords from raising rents by more than 5 percent a year plus inflation. There are also provisions that limit the circumstances for evicting a tenant, especially one who has lived somewhere for more than a year.

Respecting Hair: It’s saddening to know this law was needed but come 2020, folks with natural hairstyles who have long been discriminated against — remember the New Jersey teen wrestler who was forced to cut his dreds? — are now protected in the workplace and at school under Senate Bill 188. When the New Year arrives, California will become the first in the nation to do so.

Expanded Training: Once just the milieu of management, sexual harassment training requirements will now be extended to anyone who works at a business that has five or more employees.

Family First: When a new baby arrives or a family member faces serious medical issues, workers will now be able to take up to eight weeks of paid leave starting in July, up two weeks from the previously allowed allotment, under Senate Bill 83 but still far behind much of the world.

School Rules: Starting in 2020, schools will no longer be able to use suspension as a means of punishing unruly or disruptive behavior for students in kindergarten through eighth grade under Senate Bill 419.

Statistics show these type of actions are disproportionally used against children of color, foster children and children with learning disabilities. This law begins in July. ● northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

f you spent New Year’s Eve rolling around town smoking joints in the back of a party bus, you may have had a rude awakening after the clock struck midnight.

While state law has always prohibited drivers and passengers in cars from smoking cannabis, puffing vape pens or any other form of imbibing, Senate Bill 625 had provided an exemption, allowing passengers in the back of limousines and party buses to puff freely. But the Legislature voted in 2019 to kill that buzz over worries drivers in cloudy limos and buses might get a contact high that would leave them driving stoned.

So as soon as 2019 came to a close, so did one’s ability to legally toke it up while in transit. Drinking alcohol on the same party buses, however, remains legal.

Also taking effect Jan. 1 was Assembly Bill 34, which allows licensed cannabis shops to donate product to some medical patients.

The practice of dispensaries giving out cannabis to indigent, extremely ill patients came to a screeching halt with the legalization of recreational weed, as lawmakers worried it would lead to free promotional giveaways and other campaigns they worried would promote cannabis use. But this left some poor patients with terminal and other serious illnesses without a way to legally get affordable cannabis, sending some to the illicit market, with its potentially tainted products.

Authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener, the bill also exempts such transactions from state cultivation and use taxes, as California doesn’t impose levies on other medications.

Also on the tax front, the new year brings some other changes.

The industry will get a bit of tax relief with Assembly Bill 37, which allows cannabis companies to deduct some business expenses.

Until 2020, California law mirrored federal law, which prohibited any cannabis cultivator, processor or seller from deducting business expenses because they “traffic in controlled substances.” But A.B. 37 changes that — essentially treating cannabis companies like any other business and allowing the industry to deduct expenses in state filings.

On the flip side, tax rates are going up with the new year. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration announced in November that it is increasing two rates — the state’s mark-up rate on cannabis business transactions and the state’s cultivation tax on dried flower — that some industry insiders predict will result in consumers paying $5 to $10 more per eighth-

ounce of flower at the register.

In addition to new laws coming onto the books, the calendar’s flipping to 2020 also means we are more than officially in the throes of a presidential election that will swallow us whole by year’s end. On the cannabis front, that means you can expect some breathless coverage of the nuanced differences in the candidates’ stances on stuff. (Spoiler alert: All viable Democratic candidates favor legalization, save for former Vice President Joe Biden who now supports the full “decriminalization” of cannabis just weeks after saying he didn’t support legalization because there isn’t enough evidence to determine whether it is a “gateway drug.”)

On the other side of the ballot, Trump has been somewhat all over the place on the topic, saying in 2016 that he supported medical cannabis and later hinting he would sign a law leaving states to regulate cannabis how they see fit, though his justice department has taken steps to undo a handful of Obama-era protections for the industry. Most recently, in a signing statement attached to a funding bill signed last month, Trump said he reserves the right to ignore congressionally approved protections shielding states that have legalized medical marijuana from federal interference.

But the truth is that folks who want to see federal legalization or decriminalization need to look down the ballot. Unless Democrats flip the Senate and manage to pry the gavel from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s prohibitionist hands, there’s simply no chance for substantive change, as McConnell has repeatedly blocked cannabis legislation — including proposals with bipartisan support to make cannabis a states’ rights issue and relax federal banking restrictions on the industry — from seeing the Senate floor.

(Most proposals passed by the House on the subject haven’t even received the lip service of a committee hearing.)

There are 35 Senate seats up for election this year — including 23 currently held by Republicans. Democrats only need to pick up four seats to take the majority, which could dramatically shift the cannabis landscape. If you’re looking for big federal changes in the near future, Senate seats are the races to watch. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

‘Move the Decimal Point’ How one man has helped shield thousands from the cold Story and photos by Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

t was the day after Christmas in 2008 and Robert Lohn was headed to Gottschalks at the Bayshore Mall to return his grandsons’ presents, a pair of remote control helicopters he’d bought for $130.

“I wanted to play with them, that’s why I bought them.

They didn’t have toys like that when I was growing up,” the now 73 year old explained on a gray afternoon in mid-December. “But they were too cheap. They fell apart on Christmas Day.” So Lohn, not one to leave value on the table, was heading back to the department store to claim the helicopters defective and demand a refund to buy his grandsons something else. But while standing in the return line, he saw a rack of $40 kids coats marked down 70 percent in a post-Christmas sale. Having worked for years in the garment industry, Lohn was intrigued and gave the jackets a quick once over, finding them well made.

“I said, ‘You mean I can buy these coats for about $12 apiece?” he recalled. “I decided right then I would spend my grandsons’ toy money on buying coats for under-privileged children.”

He wound up buying the whole rack — 20 coats in all — for about $240.

“I got to thinking about it on the way home and said, ‘You know, I can do this next year and the year after,” he said. “I took a couple of thousand dollars, put a website together and went on the news.

Then people started calling to help.”

The following year, he helped get 159 new coats donated to local kids in need.

In 2010, he started collecting donations

of lightly used coats, as well, got a dozen or so businesses involved and distributed some 2,000 coats.

And thus Coats for the Cold was born.

More than a decade later, Lohn’s simple impulse purchase has grown into a massive annual volunteer effort that involves more than 20 schools, more than 80 local businesses and a host of volunteers. Together, they have purchased and distributed more than 5,000 new children’s coats, as well as approximately 20,000 lightly used coats given to community resource centers and outreach services, from St. Vincent de Paul and the Eureka Rescue Mission to the Humboldt County Department of Human Services and North Coast Stand Down.

“What he’s been doing is phenomenal,” says Davena Bagnall, a French teacher at Arcata High School who both helps oversee the school’s Interact program’s Coats for the Cold collections and keeps a makeshift coat closet in her classroom where students in need can get a new coat for the winter. “Robert is just such a kind, loveable person. He’s been able to connect with a lot of community members to make a lot happen for the kids in our community.”

And Lohn’s grandsons? Now 22 and

20 — the oldest helps with the effort annually and the other is in the U.S. Army — Lohn said they were fine with his giving away their Christmas money.

“They were cool with it,” he said with a chuckle. “They’re blessed. Not only are their parents educated and good wage earners, but they’re on the good side of the street — the sunny side — no doubt about it.”

As Lohn takes the Journal on his rounds in his late 1990s Toyota Sienna minivan checking donation bins around town in December, he explains how the now multipronged program works and his general philosophy on life.

Lohn moved to Humboldt County more than 30 years ago, following his daughter who came up in 1985 to attend Humboldt State University. Having grown up in Orange County’s Huntington Beach back when it was mostly surrounded by strawberry fields and orange groves, Lohn says he’s had a varied career. He’s made surfboards and manufactured beach wear, from bikinis and board shorts to Hawaiian shirts. While helping to oversee a real estate development project in the late 1970s, Lohn says he got a piece of advice that stuck with him. His boss had asked him

how he thought the project could turn a profit and Lohn replied he wasn’t sure.

“Just move the decimal point,” Lohn recalls the boss replying. It was a piece of advice that resonated, Lohn says, and he was soon looking to squeeze out value wherever he could.

That led to his next endeavor in the early 1980s. He says he’d purchase old white oak whiskey barrels for about $8 a piece and take them to a maquiladora factory in Baja California, where he’d cut them up, add brass touches, and make them into wood signs, toys and bathroom accessories — the kind of stuff you’d find at Restoration Hardware. (Lohn says at a garage sale he recently stumbled upon an old towel rack from his factory still in the original packaging. “He wanted $3 for it and I gave him $1,” he says.)

Business was good, he says, but he was on the road too much, so he decided to join his daughter up in Humboldt County.

He didn’t take to the place at first, and planned to be here no more than a year before he moved on to his next thing. But the place sunk claws into him and one day on the golf course he says he was offered a part-time sales job that would allow him to make a living while playing as much golf

as he wanted. He took it.

Lohn pulls his gray minivan into the Eureka North Coast Co-op parking lot, grabs a commercial-sized garbage bag from the back and heads inside to where the store has a Coats for the Cold donation box near the registers. The boxes cost about $5 each, Lohn says, but last for at least a few years. He looks into the bin to find a few small garbage bags stuffed with lightly used coats and plops them into his bag. At the bottom of the bin there’s a sleeping bag, which he also happily accepts — “We take anything that will keep someone warm,” he says.

With that, he heads back to his van with a slow shuffle, a large, gray garbage bag slung over his shoulder — a kind of makeshift Santa clad in a plaid shirt, khaki pants and brown loafers.

Back in the van heading toward the Adorni Center, Lohn says he puts about 4,000 miles on his van every winter driving around Humboldt from Garberville to Orick, from the coast out to Hoopa and Bridgeville to collect donations and drop off coats. Thankfully, he says a driver with Fed-Ex recently called, offering to take over deliveries to those outlying areas, saying they fall along the company’s routes anyway.

On his way into the Adorni Center, Lohn says he doesn’t make his big push for donations until after Christmas because he doesn’t want to compete with Toys for Tots, adding that he gives about 150 new coats a year to the nonprofit to distribute.

Peering into the Adorni Center bin, he’s disappointed there isn’t much there, though he does smile broadly pulling out two identical size 4T floral patterned navy blue coats with matching pants and stuffing them into his sack. (He says he loves when he finds duplicates because it shows someone bought the jackets specifically for Coats for the Cold.)

Walking back to Waterfront Drive, where he parked in the shadow of the Carson Mansion, Lohn stuffs the garbage bag into the back of his minivan from which he’s removed two rows of seats to make room for the constant pickups. There’s just so much need and so much generosity, he says.

He’s not wrong. In addition to having one of the largest per-capita homeless populations in the nation, about 21 percent of Humboldt County

households live in poverty, according to the U.S. Census, meaning they bring in less than $13,000 for a single adult or less than $26,00 for a family of four. Sixty percent of local children qualify for free and reduced lunches at local schools, according to Food for People.

“Do you know over a half million people are homeless every day and it shouldn’t be that way in a country like this, with so many assets and whatnot,” Lohn says.

“People shouldn’t be going hungry.”

The problem, he says, is life has just gotten so expensive, especially real estate.

He notes he rented his first house in Huntington Beach for $85 a month and his first mortgage was $24,500. With a 7.25 percent interest rate, he made $159 monthly payments. As his van pulls into Pacific Outfitters’ parking lot, he turns the conversation seamlessly to Coats for the Cold and how it adds “value to the dollar.”

It goes like this, he says. Businesses agree to give up some floor space to put out donation bins. Folks then donate their lightly used coats, which keeps them out of the landfills (as an aside, he notes that textiles are one of the biggest contributors to landfills in the United States, which

ON THE COVER Continued from previous page

Robert Lohn with a garbage bag full of donated coats picked up from the North Coast Co-op in Eureka.

HAPPY

NEW YEAR 2020 FROM

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

checks out, as 11.2 million tons of the stuff went to landfills in 2017, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).

The coats are then sorted by volunteers before they’re sent to Mission Linen, which washes them free of charge. (Mission Linen Production Manger Kyle Gaylord says washing several thousand pounds of laundry annually for Coats for the Cold is an easy way to give back. Plus, he says, “I couldn’t see Robert Lohn down there at the coin-op.”)

From there, another swarm of volunteers re-sorts the coats and gets them out to resource centers and outreach organizations, where they’re put on the backs of people who need them.

But that’s really only half of it, Lohn says. In addition to the coats, Lohn says local schools have also started change drives to raise money that’s used to purchase new coats, which go almost entirely to local kids in need through First 5 Humboldt, local schools and shelters.

Lohn says he got the idea from the old March of Dimes fundraisers and bought some old mail tubes and slapped some Coats for the Cold stickers on them. But instead of a dime-sized hole, Lohn says he cut large circles into the tops, making sure if someone wanted to put a wad of bills in there, they’d be able to. Getting classrooms throughout the county to collect change and donations was one thing but then Lohn figured a way to leverage that into more. He paired schools with local businesses willing to match their collections up to $500. Bagnall, the Arcata High French teacher, says they try to have the

students who collect the money go out and purchase the coats to donate.

“It’s a win-win,” says Stanley Elcock of the Rotary Club of Arcata, who helps oversee the Interact program.

“Just move the decimal point,” Lohn says, adding that Scrappers Edge and Times Printing also print all of Coats for the Cold’s brochures, pamphlets and stickers free of charge, while Rainbow Self Storage donates a large unit for a few months a year to the cause. “I don’t want to sound like a ballad for the businesses but, without them, we wouldn’t be able to do this.”

And perhaps Lohn’s biggest point of pride, he says, is Coats for the Cold has been able to give out so many coats to keep so many warm with virtually no overhead costs, other than fuel for his car, a bit of maintenance here and there, and the occasional donation box or coin collection tube.

“The only thing that’s really killing us is the cost of gasoline,” he says, adding that will soon improve with Fed Ex on board to help.

Moments after Lohn pulls up to his unit at Rainbow Self Storage and begins unloading eight or so of the commercial trash bags filled with donations, adding them to another couple dozen already in the unit, a van pulls up from St. Vincent de Paul. Out bounds Marylee Price, who runs the facility’s free meal program. With her is Brian Olson, who works for St. Joseph Hospital running its Eureka Community Resource Center, which is located at St. Vincent de Paul and connects people there with services, gives them a mailing address and

ON THE TABLE

offers items from the clothing closet. The two are there to sort coats and bring some clean ones back to the clothing closet.

“This man’s kept a lot of our people warm over the years,” Price says. “And they’re coming in every day now, wet and cold.”

Homeless people can go through a lot of clothes, Price says, as they can only store so much stuff and outer layers tend to get wet and dirty. The resource center gives laundry vouchers but those only go so far.

“This is really critical in getting us the quantity we need to get through the season,” she says.

Once Price and Olson finish up, a van arrives from Redwood Adult and Teen Challenge, and Lisa Sill, Andrea Varty and Misty Gavi hop out to join the sorting effort. They work together, piling new coats on a series of tables, bagging up clothes to be laundered and setting aside those that can’t be, like leathers and wools. As they work, they talk about what a gift a new coat can be to a kid in need as Humboldt’s weather turns frosty.

Lohn chimes in.

“It’s not just going to keep them warm,” he says. “It also gives them a sense of pride. The shirt might not be great. The pants might be old and the shoes may be worn, but it’s all covered with a nice, brand-new coat.”

About an hour later, the clothes are sorted and Lohn’s back on the road toward Eureka. He’s had a good life, he says.

“I’m going on 74 and when you get to be 74, you won’t do half of what you do at 40 — it’s pretty much downhill after 28, in my opinion,” he says. “But I can still walk 18 holes and carry my bag. My emphasis now is, who’s going to take over? Where am I going to find another idiot who’s going to put in the 600 to 700 hours a year into this? Who’s going to take over?”

He pauses a moment.

“I used to worry my money would run out, then I started to worry about getting Alzheimer’s. Now, the only thing I really worry about is who’s going to keep this going because there’s just so much need for it and it just makes so much common sense.” l For more information on Coats for the Cold or to learn how to help, visit www. coatsforthecold.org, email robertlohn@ coatsforthecold.org or call 616-6973.

Cocina Mariposa’s carnitas machaca burrito.

What’s Good Roundup Tee time and happy hour heat up

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Cocina on the Green The incongruity of a Mexican restaurant on the grounds of a golf course lessens as you sit in a snug window booth at Cocina Mariposa (4750 Fairway Drive, Eureka), which you enter via the pro shop, and watch the sunset. On a recent rainy evening, when a lone golfer was whacking balls into the lake of the flooded Eureka Municipal Golf Course, it even offered waterfront dining. Besides, owner Marisela Salas was previously at Beau Pre Golf Course doing happy hour tacos on Fridays, so I’m declaring it an official niche.

Golf, from what I hear, yields frustration, which is an emotion best handled with tacos and/or breakfast foods, both of which are on offer. The fried fish taco on a homemade corn tortilla is a bright little pile of battered Alaskan pollack chunks, pico de gallo, red cabbage and chipotle aioli ($3.50). The green sauce is a tart addition for those who aren’t quite up to the hot red salsa — don’t be fooled by the presence of polo shirts, it’s no joke. Salas, who learned to cook Michoacan dishes from her mother, Graciela, with whom she runs the place, offers a pro tip: The oilbased house salsa macha is less deadly on cold foods. Proceed accordingly.

Happily, the machaca burrito, along

with the rest of the breakfast menu, is available all day ($7.99). Also good news is the carnitas option with the scrambled eggs, cheese, pico de gallo and soft pan fried potatoes. It’s wholly satisfying and, with a Ball jar of homemade horchata ($2.50), a complete meal as far as I’m concerned.

The barbecue chicken burrito may not speak to the traditionally minded but the sauced-up, char-grilled chicken thigh meat and the firm pinto beans are a sentimental pleasure for those of us who’ve lived in Isla Vista, California, or anyone who simply cannot get enough barbecue ($8.99).

To Fill the Happy Hours If you’ve had the good sense to make your way to Five Eleven (511 Second St., Eureka) for its Tuesday through Saturday happy hour starting at 5 p.m., I sincerely hope you ate. The duck fat French fries — served in a steel cup with a triumvirate of ketchup, green goddess dressing and Sriracha aioli — are impossible to refuse at $4 ($6 regular small plate). They are also the most perfectly crisp hand-cut potatoes and a testament to the transformative power of rendered duck fat.

Right below on the menu is the polenta crostini, a grilled slab that is toasty along

its edges and smothered in crimini and wild mushrooms in a velvety marsala sauce ($8 happy hour, $13 regular small plate).

A sprinkling of parmesan and fried sage leaves boosts the depth of flavor and, rich as it is, one might consider struggling against instinct and splitting it to save room for further exploration.

As happy hour stretches into dinner and dry-aged steak beckons, consider delaying the main course (or a softshell crab taco) in favor of a platter of a half dozen oysters ($10 happy hour, $15 regular small plate). The local Kumamotos arrive simply with a wedge of lemon and an airplane-hooch bottle of housemade hot sauce. Chef Josh Wiley’s first foray into fermenting chiles has produced a light, clean heat that enhances rather than masks the flavor of the oyster and its briny liquor.

For $4 you can slip the bottle into your pocket and see what else it complements at home. l Share your tips about What’s Good at local eateries with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, arts and features editor at the Journal.

his is going to be brief because we are still in the lean days of the winter break. But even though I am writing in the last days of 2019, I would like to wish you all a hearty welcome to 2020. All of those twos and zeros seem pretty futuristic, don’t they? Well the future is now and, to paraphrase Spider Jerusalem from Warren Ellis’ Transmetropolitan, it’s inherently a good thing. But what if Leonard Cohen had it right in “The Future” and the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and has overturned the order of the soul, and now everything is murder, brother? Well, I suppose we are all going to all have to strike up a united front to keep that nastiness away. I think 2020 will be a year of pretty important choices.

Let’s try to make the right ones.

from La Spezia, Italy. This six piece will be performing dance sets at 9 p.m. ($20) with free tango lessons available at 7:30 p.m.

If you crave a different sort of dance party, Radio Clash is back on at the Alibi.

Join OG DJs Blancatron, Gabe Pressure and Zero One for a night of punk, goth and new wave beats and reverb at 11 p.m. ($3).

Sunday

The very festive Logger Bar hosts The Rinky Dink String Band on Friday, Jan. 3 at 9 p.m.

Submitted

Since I can’t get confirmation as of press time whether Blondies is having its excellent and instrumentally diverse open mic tonight, I’m going to make another suggestion. It isn’t music but the Logger Bar has been quietly hosting a Spanish speaking hour on Jueves at 7 p.m. Since languages are essentially dead unless spoken and there is no better way to pick one up than by speaking it with other people, this seems like a good time for students of any level.

The Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival comes to the Eureka Woman’s Club for a performance of music from Beethoven’s late period of string and piano compositions. Between the selections members of the assembled players will provide stories and information about the pieces and the life of the composer as he was writing them. The performance is sliding scale and donation-based, and will begin at 7 p.m.

Friday

We’re still in the midst of the quiet lull of the winter entertainment season so I can’t recommend anything tonight. Meantime, if you are so inclined, do what I like to do and put on Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique and get warm with a good book.

The nights are cold and quiet in the first week of the new year, but luckily Blue Lake has two free shows going down. Over at the heavily decorated Logger Bar you can catch the strumming and picking pleasure of The Rinky Dink String Band. The name kinda says it all, eh? Meanwhile in the Wave Lounge at the Blue Lake Casino you will find Humboldt’s premier Ween cover band The Stallions. Both shows are at 9 p.m.

Saturday The Moose Lodge in Eureka is hosting an evening of tango dance and performance with the Hyperion Ensemble

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

Monday

Tuesday The Eureka Branch of the Humboldt Library is featuring a special screening of the fantastic 1935 pirate film Captain Blood. I grew up on this movie, which was one of Errol Flynn’s early winners. Incidentally, if you don’t know anything about Flynn’s life, I would suggest that you keep it that way: The man was an utter scuzzball. Anyway, this flick has an excellent breakthrough score by the prolific Austrian composer Er-

ich Wolfgang Korngold, who overcame an extreme three-week deadline by sewing in pieces from the music of Liszt to create a masterpiece of symphonic cinema synergy. 6:30 p.m. (free).

Wednesday The Magic Voyage of Sinbad is a 1962 Roger Corman-modification of the 1953 Aleksandr Ptushko film Sadko, which is itself a visually lush interpretation of the opera by Rimsky-Korsakov. Oh, but it gets better, for Corman cut out a lot of the musical scenes, re-dubbed what was left in jarringly inert English, and made the quest by the Russian hero for the bird of happiness a part of the canon of Sinbad the Sailor. I was first introduced to this film with another layer of applied distortion, as it was featured as film fodder for the wiseass robots aboard The Satellite of Love from the show Mystery Science Theater 3000. Anyway, the movie is still beautiful and exotic despite being translated more times than The Epic of Gilgamesh, and I think it is worth a gander over at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 5:30 p.m. Entrance is only a $5 minimum of refreshments. 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 thinks that there are lies, damned lies, statistics and whatever the cable news uses to try and hide the massive popularity of Bernie Sanders. He prefers he/him pronouns and lives and votes in Arcata.

Uncut Gems and Little Women screens@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

UNCUT GEMS. New York City represents much of what is fascinating, romantic and terrible about the American experiment. At least to a soft, rural-raised Left Coast boy, the city is all teeth, knives and broken glass, scrutiny and anonymity at once — paranoia as landscape. And the brothers Safdie, Benny and Josh, have recently debuted on the big stage as its preeminent voice. Their movies create and exist in a world of constant threat, a moveable feast of dread to which their denizen characters have become so inured it seems almost normal, if not livable or pleasant.

Opening in 2010 within the horrors of the Ethiopian Welo opal mine, Uncut Gems shows us first the horrific injury of one of the miners and then the surreptitious efforts of two others who use it as a distraction to dislodge a massive, raw jewel of many colors.

Almost two years later, Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a low-rent, no-luck jewel merchant and inveterate basketball gambling loser, receives said stone in his New York office. He’s in the midst of a personal crisis he believes will be undone by the purchase and sale of the opal; well, that and a few well-placed bets. Howard continues an affair with his employee Julia (Julia Fox), with whom he has established a home in his midtown apartment, while attempting to uphold some semblance of normalcy in his Long Island family home, where his marriage to Dinah (Idina Menzel) has run its course. He also owes serious money to a number of bookmakers and other scurrilous characters, not least among them his brother-in-law Arno (Eric Bogosian), who has enlisted the aid of a couple of characters with few compunctions about physical and psychic violence.

Enter Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett, playing himself, in town for the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers. Howard’s shady associate Demony (Lakeith Stanfield) brings KG to buy some jewelry at the shop, where the opal is revealed to him, bringing with it a quasi-mystical connection to the mysteries of the universe and his own athletic prowess. Garnett covets the stone

but Howard has already submitted it to an auction house for sale. Nonetheless, he sees a potential windfall and agrees to let Garnett hold onto the gem for one game.

And so begins a series of bad decisions followed by worse ones, with Howard ultimately betting big on his own already established bad judgment.

The result is a small story set against the big city that feels both like an action and a horror movie, while always moving with consummate deliberation. The Safdies, with co-writer Ronald Bronstein, sustain an atmosphere of simultaneous dread and hope, and deliver a punishing climax with great style and nuance. At least among contemporary moviemakers, they are at work creating, to me, the definitive voice of New York. R. 135M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINOR. LITTLE WOMEN. Because I found myself so taken with Uncut Gems, I’ve left precious little room to discuss writer/ director Greta Gerwig’s (Lady Bird, 2017) Little Women; this is unfair but also a telling example of where my tastes lie.

I’ll have to bashfully admit to a lack of familiarity with the Louisa May Alcott novel from which this is drawn and its almost innumerable precedent TV and movie adaptations. Gerwig’s movie is a strong enough statement, though, both in the subtlety of its characterizations, timeless themes and gorgeous recreation of the period, that my shame doesn’t preclude me from enjoying it.

The story follows the individual and collective growth of the March sisters — Jo (Saorise Ronan), Meg (Emma Watson), Amy (Florence Pugh) and Beth (Eliza Scanlen) — as they grow up wealth-adjacent in the post-Civil War Northeast. Jo is a writer of great passion and considerable talent, Beth the most open-hearted of the group, with Meg and Amy left to establish identity and viable futures for themselves in the space between. Mother Marmee (Laura Dern) takes on the formidable task of raising and managing the four with aplomb, despite her husband’s continuing absence following volunteer service in the Union Army.

The influence of his wealthy sister Aunt March (Meryl Streep) looms large, as does the presence of their beautiful neigh-

Little Women

bor Theodore “Laurie” Laurence and his kind-hearted but intimidating grandfather.

It is significant and artfully executed work, and its narrative complexity will reward multiple viewings. Also, my wife could barely sit through Uncut Gems but could barely take her eyes away from this. PG. 134M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINOR. — John J.

Best of the Bugs

By Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

A

fter almost five years doing a weekly blog it had to happen.

With rainy, cold weather and the fact that over the last several years I’ve already written about most of the noteworthy entomological subjects hereabouts, this week I didn’t see any new critters worth photographing or writing about. So I think I’ll do what other writers do in similar circumstances and resort to a “Best of” article, selecting a half dozen of my all time best photographs with an explanation of what makes them my personal favorites.

In 2009, driving across State Route 36 for work, I stopped at a wide spot near a small spring to stretch my legs. I got out my new digital camera and took a shot of a dragonfly perched on a stick. When I downloaded it onto my computer, I was amazed at how well it turned out. That one shot got me hooked.

Insects have been a lifelong interest and photography was a natural outgrowth of a 36-year career in medical imaging technology. Technically, I know what it takes to get a good photo and I know a bit about bugs.

My subject was a young male hoary skimmer. A few weeks later and it would have been covered with “prunosity,” a chalky white powder common to many species of the skimmer family. Timing is everything.

I knew there were glow worms about and

Top to bottom, left to right: Hoary skimmer (Libellula nodisticta), Polyphemus moth, crab spider (Misumena vatia), centipede shot upward through Saran Wrap, Douglas fir glow worm (Pterotus obscuripennis). Photos by Anthony Westkamper they would be challenging to photograph.

I was right on both counts. They live in the redwood duff in my backyard. The problem is in the tradeoff between getting enough supplemental light to show the structure of their bodies and keeping it low enough that their glow is not washed out. Add the fact that they are living beings that react to my presence, moving and sometimes shutting down their glow. I’ve spent many late nights on my knees on the wet ground, holding my breath and a flashlight, taking hundreds of exposures to get one.

It was no great stretch to take a black light out and about in the dark to see what I could find. I was delighted to find the common crab spiders are florescent.

I seldom bring subjects inside, preferring to take their portraits in their natural habitats, but occasionally visualizing some particular feature requires a controlled environment. It was through getting a shot of a centipede’s jaws that I discovered the optical properties of Saran Wrap.

Finally, some subjects are simply dramatic in their own right, like our largest local moth the Polyphemus. ● Read more of Anthony Westkamper’s HumBug column on Sundays at www. northcoastjournal.com. He prefers he/him.

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.

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: I declare you champion, unvanquishable hero, and title-holder of triumphant glory. Do you accept?

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “We are all hostages of the joy of which we deprive ourselves,” wrote poet Odysseus Elytis. Isn’t that an astounding idea? That we refuse to allow ourselves to experience some of the bliss and pleasure we could easily have; and that we are immured inside that suppressed bliss and pleasure? I call on you, Aries, to rebel against this human tendency.

As I see it, one of your main tasks in 2020 is to permit yourself to welcome more bliss, to aggressively seize more pleasure and thereby free yourself from the rot of its nullification.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): At age 22, Taurus-born Dutch citizen Willem de Kooning sneaked into the United States. He was a stowaway on an Argentina-bound freighter, and stealthily disembarked when the ship made a stop in Virginia. As he lived in America during subsequent decades, he became a renowned painter who helped pioneer the movement known as abstract expressionism. His status as an illegal immigrant rarely presented any obstacles to his growing success and stature. Not until age 57 did he finally became an American citizen. I propose we make him one of your role models in 2020. May he inspire you to capitalize on being a maverick, outsider, or stranger. May he encourage you to find opportunities beyond your safety zone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When British novelist E. M. Forster was in his late 30s, he had sex with another person for the first time. Before that he had published five novels. After that, he produced just one more novel, though he lived till age 91.

Why? Was he having too much fun? Looking back from his old, age, he remarked that he would “have been a more famous writer if I had published more, but sex prevented the latter.”

I suspect that sensual pleasure and intimacy will have the exact opposite effect on you in 2020, Gemini. In sometimes mysterious ways, they will make you more productive in your chosen sphere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Every part of our personality that we do not love will regress and become hostile to us,” wrote poet Robert Bly. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t suffer from this problem at least a little. That’s the bad news. The good news for us Cancerians (yes, I’m a Crab!) is that 2020 will be a favorable time to engage in a holy crusade to fix this glitch: to feel and express more love for parts of our personality that we have dismissed or marginalized. The result? Any self-sabotage we have suffered from in the past could dramatically diminish.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As a young adult, Leo-born Raymond Chandler worked as a fruit-picker, tennis racquet-stringer, and bookkeeper. At age 34, he began a clerical job at the Dabney Oil Syndicate, and eventually rose in the ranks to become a well-paid executive. The cushy role lasted until he was 44, when he was fired. He mourned for a while, then decided to become an author of detective fiction. It took a while, but at age 50, he published his first novel. During the next 20 years, he wrote six additional novels as well as numerous short stories and screenplays—and in the process became popular and influential. I present this synopsis as an inspirational story to fuel your destiny in 2020.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The fame of Virgo-born Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto (1474–1533) has persisted through the ages because of Orlando Furioso, an epic poem he authored.

It tells the story of the Christian knight Orlando and his adoration for a pagan princess. This great work did not come easily to Ariosto. It wasn’t until he had written 56 versions of it that he was finally satisfied. I suspect you may harbor an equally perfectionist streak about the good works and labors of love you’ll craft in 2020. May I suggest you confine your experiments to no more than 10 versions?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Leonardo da Vinci worked on his painting “The Last Supper” from 1495 to 1498. It’s a big piece

28

— about 15 by 29 feet. That’s one reason why he took so long to finish. But there was another explanation, too. He told his patron, the Duke of Milan, that he sometimes positioned himself in front of his painting-in-progress and simply gazed at and thought about it, not lifting a brush. Those were times he did some of his hardest work, he said. I trust you will have regular experiences like that in 2020, Libra. Some of your best efforts will arise out of your willingness and ability to incubate your good ideas with concentrated silence and patience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By 1895, Henry James had already published 94 books. He was renowned in the U.S. and England, and had written the works that would later lead to him being considered for a Nobel Prize. Then, at age 52, although he was not physically fit, he decided to learn how to ride a bicycle. He paid for lessons at a bicycle academy, and cheerfully tolerated bruises and cuts from his frequent falls as an acceptable price to pay for his new ability. I admire James’ determination to keep transforming. Let’s make him a role model for you in 2020. May he inspire you to keep adding new aptitudes as you outgrow your previous successes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When Sagittarian composer Ludwig van Beethoven created the Eroica symphony in the early 1800s, many observers panned it. They said its rhythms were eccentric, that it was too long. One critic said it was “glaring and bizarre,” while another condemned its “undesirable originality.” This same critic concluded, “Genius proclaims itself not in the unusual and fantastic but in the beautiful and sublime.” Today, of course, Eroica has a different reputation.

It’s regarded as a breakthrough event in musical history. I’ll go on record here, Sagittarius, to say that I suspect you created your own personal version of Eroica in 2019. 2020 is the year it will get the full appreciation it deserves, although it may take a while. Be patient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’m going to speculate that sometime in the next six months, you will experience events that years from now you’ll look back on as having been the beginning of a fresh universe for you. What should you call this launch? I suggest you consider elegant terms like “Destiny Rebirth” or “Fate Renewal” rather than a cliché like the “Big Bang.” And how should you celebrate it? As if it were the Grand Opening of the rest of your long life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 2020, I believe you will be able to summon the insight and kismet necessary to resolve at least one long-running problem, and probably more. You’ll have an enhanced ability to kick bad habits and escape dead-ends and uncover liberating truths about mysteries that have flustered you. Frustrations and irritations you’ve grudgingly tolerated for far too much time will finally begin to wane. Congratulations in advance, Aquarius! The hard work you do to score these triumphs won’t always be delightful, but it could provide you with a curiously robust and muscular kind of fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let’s say you wanted to dress completely in silk: shirt, pants, vest, scarf, socks, shoes, hat, underwear all made of silk. And let’s say your dream was to grow and process and weave the silk from scratch. You’d start with half an ounce of silkworm eggs. They’d hatch into 10,000 silkworms. Eventually those hard-working insects would generate 5 pounds of silk—enough to create your entire outfit. So in other words, you’d be able to generate an array of functional beauty from a small but concentrated amount of raw material. By the way, that last sentence is a good description of what I think your general approach should be in 2020. And also by the way, dressing in silk wouldn’t be too crazy an idea in the coming months. I hope you’ll have fun cultivating your allure, style and flair. l
