Air Pollution Linked to Alzheimer’s

Editor: There is an abundance of scientific literature explaining how air pollution exacerbates, and often causes, a host of medical problems such as asthma, heart disease and cancer. Increasingly now, studies are showing that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is also impacting our brains and is associated with rising rates of Alzheimer’s disease and dementias. A recent study published in 2021 explains the mechanism of how PM2.5 leads to an elevation of beta-amyloid plaques, biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease and brain inflammation.

High levels of PM2.5 in the atmosphere are derived from pollutants emitted from industrialization, as well as from combustion and emission from chemicals or fires. Each year California is seeing a worsening wildfire season (“The Top 10 Stories of 2021,” Dec. 30).

At the same time, Alzheimer’s disease has now risen to be the third leading cause of death in the state.

Environmental degradation and dementia are two public health issues that have been getting worse and will have great consequences on our health, our society and our government. But perhaps there is a way to hinder two impending crises. Strictly regulating air quality can not only save our planet, but also our health.

Rep. Jared Huffman is strongly championing for reducing greenhouse gases and fighting climate change to protect the health of his constituents. Hopefully, going forward efforts from him and others will be recognized as a priority by all.

Noor Sheppard, Trinidad

‘A Safety Net’

Editor: I forget phone numbers and don’t even try to jump the tennis net anymore. I chop wood and beat back the brambles around our old house along the coast, just south of Trinidad. The prospect of death is not particularly troubling, however I dutifully use a mask, took the time to get anti-COVID shots and will be in line for a second booster (“Unmasked,” Feb. 17).

Vaccination is a safety net but nothing is 100-percent effective, except for death and taxes — right? My trusting and fragile 89-year-old younger sister had her vaccinations but died in agony of COVID-19. Her caretaker relative had refused vaccination and tested positive. He had the virus and may also have been exposed to retrograde religiosity and the faux news freak-show.

Who knows what goes in this digitally disintegrated decade? In any event: if you are inclined to be anti-vax, beware! Stock up on guns and toilet paper. You never know when some downwind Democrat is going to sneak up and scare the scat out of you!

‘Government Welfare’

Editor: There is a time-honored principle of capitalism — it says entrepreneurs must compete in the marketplace. If you start a business and cannot make a go of it (for whatever reasons you may not have foreseen or prepared for), you must turn toward a different way to make a living. You don’t lean on government welfare. Too many people in Humboldt County thought erroneously that they could attain wealth as cannabis growers. Your article regarding this fiasco stated that the growers entered “a marketplace that has seen production outpace consumption three-fold, sending Terry Torgerson wholesale prices cratering over the past six months” (“Supes Move Forward with Cannabis Tax Reprieve,” Feb. 10). Now the growers are in trouble and seeking an anti-capitalist For our Bublin Bear bailout that the county cannot afford.

‘Night and Day’ New mats make Clam Beach accessible to the mobility-challenged

By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

I

f you are an able-bodied person in Humboldt County, it is not difficult to get to the beach. But if you use a wheelchair or walker, or are blind, it is a lot harder. Hard enough to effectively keep most disabled people away from the beach, said Alissa Norman, community advocate for Tri-County Independent Living, an advocacy organization for the disabled community.

To remedy this situation, the county Parks Department is installing a long plastic mat made of separate plastic sections along a flat and well-used trail at Clam Beach. The trail begins at the paved parking lot just off Clam Beach Drive, about a half-mile south of the Crannell Road intersection. It crosses about one-tenth of a mile of soft sand that’s easy enough for dogs, horses and able-bodied humans to traverse, but an impenetrable barrier for anyone in a wheelchair.

The Parks Department had previously purchased some beach-accessible wheelchairs but discovered they were only usable on wet, hard-packed sand near the shoreline. Those wheelchairs have been temporarily removed from service.

Now, the department has purchased the mats, made of recycled polyester fabric, to cover the soft sand on the trail.

The flexible individual mat sections are fastened to the ground by spikes and have tiny filter holes that allow sand grains to

“These have already been successfully used at Muir Beach and Stinson Beach and in southern California beaches, as well,” said Karen Clower of the county’s ADA Compliance Team.

The county held an open house on the beach Feb. 17 and Feb. 18. One section of mat had been laid down near the parking lot; Clower said there were two others farther down the trail, but the work was obviously just in its beginning stages. The project is expected to cost about $30,000.

A few beach patrol officers from the county Sheriff ’s Department gave their thumbs up to the project. A small group of equestrians were less pleased, saying that the shiny fabric spooked their horses.

Although the trail seemed wide enough for a horse to pass without stepping on the mat, the equestrians worried about a possible conflict between riders and wheelchair-users. Others said the mats would soon be buried by the blowing sand

that characterizes Clam Beach. Uri Driscoll, a spokesperson for the equestrian group, wondered if all the necessary protocols had been followed in terms of getting a permit from the California Coastal Commission.

Hank Seemann, deputy director of the Environmental Services Division of the county’s Public Works Department, said there was no record, either from the county or the state, of endangered snowy plover nests being found close to the trail.

These issues did not seem to bother the three representatives of Tri-County Independent Living who attended the open house. Juliannah Harris, the organization’s assistive technology coordinator, and her guide dog Guthman stepped out onto the mat and walked to the end of the section.

Harris described herself as having both low vision and a mobility problem.

“It’s like night and day,” Harris said about her short walk. “Walking the mat was nice. It was firm and stable. I felt very

secure. I was able to follow the mat with my cane, and my guide dog understood the edges of the mat. I could also follow the edge of the mat with my cane and walk in the sand alongside it without fearing that I would go astray.”

Her only suggestion was the Parks Department add a tactile sign for the benefit of the visually impaired.

Once the trail is completed, mobility-impaired people will again be able to reserve one of the county’s beach wheelchairs by going to https://humboldtgov. org/2526/Beach-Wheelchairs or they can use their own personal devices, which Clower said would work on the mats as well. ● Elaine Weinreb (she/her) is a freelance journalist.

Johnson Sentenced to 150 Years in Prison for Triple Murder

O

ne year after a newly engaged couple and a 16-yearold girl were shot to death in their home on the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Reservation, the now 19 year old who pleaded guilty to their murders was sentenced Feb. 16 to serve 150 years to life in prison.

Judge Timothy Canning handed down the sentence that was part of a plea deal for Mauricio Johnson, who was a guest in the home when he killed Nikki Dion Metcalf and Margarett Lee Moon, both 40, and Moon’s 16-year-old daughter, Shelly Autumn Mae Moon, on Feb. 10, 2021.

The deaths rocked the Loleta community, where Shelly and Margarett Lee Moon both worked at the local elementary school as aides, tutoring students and working in the after-school program.

Moon and Metcalf had become engaged to be married just a few weeks before they were killed.

Joining the ranks of these well-known pet celebs, our furry, feathered, scaly and slimy friends are the stars of our households deserving of diva treatment and their names in lights (or at the very least in print). We wait on our cats hand and foot (yes, that’s me shaking cans of wet cat food in the pet aisle at Safeway listening for which one sounds “juiciest”). Our Facebook feeds are filled with up close shots of Wilbur’s wet nose. We can’t get enough of talking TikTok videos of Talula and Terence.

rive Up, the low, unassuming wood and brick hamburger joint on Broadway and Seventh Street in Eureka. But today, patrons stand elbow to elbow with their backs to the front windows, holding scraps of hand numbered paper as they wait for their chili dogs, garlic fries and milkshakes.

Some are regulars; some are here because they’ve heard it’s closing.

When former boxer Mike Householder first opened the business that still bears his name back in 1943, it was a trailer on the street near where the Broadway Cinema sign stands. “He was a colorful character, from what I understand,” says James Carpenter, who owns the business today with his wife, Anne. Householder moved into the building at Seventh Street in 1956, and nobody has messed with the exterior or the chili since.

“The food has not changed,” says Carpenter. “The menu was pretty much the same from the beginning, all the same recipes. … My wife and I had the most changes because we added bacon … that that was like, whoo!” Carpenter’s grandparents Lewis and Virginia Caldwell bought Mike’s from Householder in 1970 — a photo of Lewis in a paper hat and red checked shirt is tacked to the wall up front. Their children Frank and Sherry Carpenter took it over in 1987. That’s when their son, 17-yearold James, started helping out with the family business, and he’s been working there continuously ever since, eventually taking ownership eight years ago.

After the bacon, the most notable change was the décor. While some of the word puzzles are still up on the back wall, the bulk of the signs and posters, some of which espoused Reagan-era right-wing views that, for many, came to define the character of the place, have been replaced with sports memorabilia. “My dad’s previous stuff was more politically based and I didn’t like that. I always thought the restaurant should be less contentious. I like the sports theme more. I guess sports can be contentious, too,” says James Carpenter. “There

were definitely some people who took offense … you can include me, as well. I didn’t like everything. But I wasn’t in charge.”

James Carpenter pivots wordlessly between shifting hissing burgers on the flat-top grill and spooning meat chili onto a hot dog, then wrapping it in paper with a little tourniquet-like bow and sliding it into a bag that will spot orange if you don’t get to it soon. Beside him in the tiny kitchen space, employee Jamie McBride works the fryer, unflinching when his fingers touch the roiling oil. He dumps the fries into a brown paper bag that resembles worn oil cloth and hits them with a couple shakes of salt and a cloud of garlic powder before giving it a vigorous shake. It’s the smell of those fries, perhaps more than the chili, that’s the giveaway that you’ve been to Mike’s.

Anne Carpenter, meanwhile, zips between her calculator, credit card machine and milkshake blender, calling out orders as she goes. A woman gives her order and pats her on the forearm, softly saying, “It’s so sad.”

Over the phone, James Carpenter explains the decision to close Mike’s while he scrapes the grill. “It was a combination of things. COVID definitely had an impact.

In-n-Out coming in — that had an impact, too. We actually lasted a lot longer than I thought when they came.” He doesn’t have numbers, but he and his wife noticed fewer customers old and new. The pandemic meant cutting hours and hiring another employee to shuttle food to waiting customers in the lot, all while supply prices shot up.

Even before James and Anne Carpenter took over, the shop took some financial hits. In 2012, when Frank Carpenter still ran it, they say Jason Singleton brought an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit that cost $10,000 beyond the compliance measures of adding a disabled parking spot, lowering the counter, closing the bathroom to the public and eliminating dine-in service.

The aging building, which Frank Carpenter still owns, is slated to go up for sale with

or without the business. James and Anne Carpenter only decided to let the business go over the weekend and shared the news with a couple people Wednesday. “It spread kinda quick,” says James Carpenter, adding that the next day they unexpectedly sold out of fries and nearly all their hot dogs, and had to shut down by 4 p.m. “People get upset when they can’t get fries.”

Sales were doubled if not tripled and the phone has been ringing all day. “It’s too bad those orders didn’t come in earlier,” he says.

James Carpenter’s tone is upbeat but he sounds tired, too. “Twelve-hour days kind of takes its toll on you,” His physical therapist said he was “destroying” his elbows and back, so he and Anne swapped around some duties, like prepping fries. But now Anne is feeling the pain of the repetitive motion. Still, James Carpenter says, “We’ve just been real fortunate with our health.”

The last day isn’t decided but they plan to be out by the end of March. “I’ve worked here 35 years, it’s a little daunting to have to do something else,” says James Carpenter, who says he and Anne are looking at their options. “I could realistically go to McDonald’s and be making more than I’m making here,” he says with a puff of laughter. And that’s without putting in 60-hour weeks.

“You make a pretty decent living [owning a restaurant] but the selling point isn’t the money you make. You get to own your own business. Like I get to work with my wife and we get along really good … but all the stress and all the headaches go with it.”

Still, this might not be the end of Mike’s Drive Up forever. “If no one buys the business, we still have the chili recipe that people really like,” says James Carpenter, noting it might sell as prepared chili or seasoning.

“It won’t go completely away. That would be a shame.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

FRONT ROW

Growing Old, Humboldt Style

By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

L

et’s face it, care homes for seniors do not have the greatest reputation. But perhaps that’s because they’re not run by a belatedly woke and gender-fluid CEO and an events director with chronic stage fright, staffed by a uniquely mismatched minimum-wage couple, and where healthcare needs are met by a doctor who trained with Timothy Leary.

Mix in some variably confused residents, a government inspector, a fortune-teller and a band that figures they’ve reached the nadir of their own existence when they’re hired to celebrate an 85th birthday, and you have MadSummer, currently playing at the Carlo Theater in Blue Lake.

The fun begins with the band — Mike LaBolle (percussion/horn), Marla Joy (bass/ guitar/flute), Tim Randles (keyboards), Jeff Kelley (guitar) and Rob Diggins (bowed and plucked strings/brass) — setting up for the birthday party. At the instigation of Events Director Asbjorn (“ass-bear”) Sorenson (a deliciously neurotic Ben Clifton), the band launches into a rousing rendition of “Forever Young,” sung by Foggy Boomers staffer Kerry (Kathryn Cesarz in fine vocal form). Hearing the music, resident John (the indefatigable Bob Wells) dances in with his walker, followed by the birthday girl, his wife Jill (Peggy Metzger, in full-on aging hippie gear) floating and flirting around the stage. This is all a bit much for Asbjorn, who quickly shuts everything down.

Meanwhile, Kerry and her partner in work and life, Kenny (a quietly stubborn Jesse March), put up festive decorations while dissecting their disparate life goals, as other residents trundle in for the opening song-and-dance interlude. Betsy (a gloriously ditzy Susan Abbey) keeps trying to escape, while fire enthusiast Zach (a happily bumbling Scott Malcolm) follows her like a puppy, and a silent wheelchair-bound senior (Wilda Thompson) brings up the rear.

But before the real celebrating begins,

Foggy Bottoms Dr. Frank Birinbum (Jeff Thomas) was greeted by residents Betsy (Susan Abbey) and Zack (Scott Malcolm) as the doctor sang “Old Folks Boogie” – it put the residents in a cheerful, dancing mood.

Photo by Mark Larson

we are all treated to a dramatic presentation/mea culpa from Foggy Boomers CEO Ed Duodenum (the splendidly overthe-top Donald Forrest). Never has so much pseudo-woke language appeared in such a short speech — a whole new buzzword-bingo game clearly awaits here! Sadly, the soaring oratory returns to earth with a crash as the enigmatic wheelchair-bound senior reveals herself to be not only the dreaded government inspector, who’s been living incognito at Foggy Boomers for a week, but also Ed’s long-lost love Eva McHale.

While Ed and Eva take a trip down memory lane (and she threatens to shut the home down), another long-lost relative, Jill’s daughter and fortune-teller Calistoga (real-life fortune-teller Zera Starchild), who’s snuck in as part of the entertainment, zeroes in on her mother with a plan to break her out of the home.

Into the midst of all this steps Dr. Frank Birinbum (Jeff Thomas, oozing sweet temptation), with a plan to make everything and everyone better with some new medication — Love Potion No. 9 in the form of shroom-derived red Jello shots.

Meanwhile, Kenny orchestrates the final part of the birthday party — a recreation of Pyramus and Thisbe (hence the MadSummer title) starring himself in multiple roles, Kerry, Calistoga and Asbjorn, with some wonderfully over-the-top Shakespearean speechifying, incomprehensible accents and predictably chaotic results.

But this is a celebration and so there must be a happy ending. Their minds freed from the trammels of daily life, everyone finds their happy place in the great scheme of things and the good doctor declares, in true Puckish style, that his “work here is done.” One more round of “Forever Young,” and the play, too, is done — to rousing cheers from cast and audience alike.

The songs and music range from

rousing to romantic to heart-achingly poignant, and Fields keeps everything moving forward at a cracking pace, while Michael Foster’s lighting design tracks the action perfectly alongside Jeff Kelley’s sound work. Lynnie Horrigan’s costume and set design (including the deliberately misspelled “Dinning Room”) are, as always, on-point, and Production Manager Andrew de la Pena and Stage Manager Bailie Molsberry effectively keep track of the many moving parts. Yes, there are some rough edges to the production. A couple of numbers run a little long, and the play-within-a-play needs tightening, but these things are part of the wonder that is live theater. It’s different every time.

And it gets better over time. So, if you’re ready, throw off your COVID isolation and head on out to Blue Lake next weekend for the final performances (for now) of MadSummer.

There is nothing quite like being in a packed theater, experiencing the joy that comes from sharing the same physical space as the actors, singing along with the band — in short, being back in the presence of live theater. There really is nothing like it, and it’s been so long since we’ve been able to experience it. Dell’Arte, which owns and operates the Carlo Theater, requires masking and full COVID-19 vaccination to attend performances. Personally, I never felt anything but safe.

For a full slideshow of Mark Larson’s phtographs from the performance, visit www.northcoastjournal.com. l Full disclosure: I am an investor in this production, not because I want to make money from it but because I want to see professional theatre move beyond the nonprofit world and for actors and crew to be paid a living wage.

NCJ WHAT’S GOOD 18

ears ago, I was standing in an Alaskan stream with a flimsy fishing rod, trying to catch a spawning salmon. I had pedaled about 9 miles from my place of work, one inlet over on the famed Inside Passage, a small plastic bag sitting weightless in the pannier of my bicycle. I had a pocketknife, a vague understanding of how to clean a fish, and a romantic idea of catching dinner and bringing it home on my bike. The fish swam nearly shoulder-to-shoulder in the stream, fighting their way upstream with deteriorating bodies. I hooked one on the dorsal fin, feeling pangs of error and naiveté as I reeled it in sideways. I looked at the struggling fish, its scales disintegrating into the water, and let it go, apologizing profusely. I was not a fisherwoman and at this rate I never would be, but my ignorance-turned-awe of the salmon life cycle started here.

Since my botched casts 13 years ago, I’ve talked with guides and experts, scientists and true fishermen. I learned the five types of salmon — chum, sockeye, king, coho, and pink — as well as their respective traits and incredible life cycles. I learned about the connection Pacific Northwest tribes have to these animals, which have been central to culture, economy and spirituality since time immemorial.

The northern hemisphere is now technically in late winter, despite the bizarrely warm temperatures that have me contemplating sunbathing. This is the time of year when the very last of our anadromous coho relatives travel upstream to their birthing grounds to reproduce. Most of the spawning occurs from November to January, but a few dozen stragglers have been counted recently in Prairie Creek, says Colin Anderson, North Coast District fish biologist with the California Department

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

A spawned out coho salmon floats in the shallows of Jacoby Creek along Quarry Road just under the bridge. Its body shows the worn out gills and deteriorating flesh caused by the spawning activity at end of life and the effects of returning to fresh water from the ocean. Photo by Mark Larson of Fish and Wildlife. Females dig pits a few inches deep in firm gravel with their tails before laying a few hundred eggs in a nest, or redd. Males then fertilize the eggs with their milt, the fluid containing the sperm.

On this fine February day, eggs sit in redds waiting to emerge.

After laying and fertilizing the eggs, the adult salmon die, spent from their journey and their efforts. Salmon are a keystone species due to the large impact they have on other life in relation to their size and abundance. A decomposing salmon carcass releases nitrogen, sulfur, carbon and phosphorus, feeding the soil, insects and trees of the forests. The insects that benefit from these dead salmon will eventually be eaten by the next generation, thus adding one more thread of strong silk in the web of ecology.

After six or seven weeks, the eggs will hatch but remain immobile in what is called the alevin stage of life. To be honest, they are pretty cute during this phase. To see for yourself, take a peek at a short US Fish and Wildlife Service video of coho hatching (www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnX4ZKvYTHs). Later this spring the coho will leave the redd and spend one or two years in their natal freshwater stream, using estuaries, side channels and floodplains to find food and hide from predators while they gain size and strength before swimming to the ocean. This part of the life cycle is unique to coho. If they survive their next one to three years in saltwater, they return to continue the cycle.

Coho are also exceptional indicators of healthy ecosystems, since they require both high quality stream habitats with cold, clear water and healthy sea conditions. Population estimates in Northern California from the 1940s range from 150,000-400,000. However, today’s

numbers show a sharp downward trend, with 10,000 or fewer today, according to North Coast Coho Project Director for Trout Unlimited Anna Halligan. Loss of habitat, overfishing, early logging practices, changing ocean conditions and increased water use by humans have all contributed to the population decline. We have population data for the past 20 years but with three-year life cycles, that’s not very many generations, and we still cannot know if the salmon are truly recovering.

The Northern California Coast population of coho salmon was listed as threatened in 2002 under the California Environmental Species Act. Despite this status, according to Terry Roelofs on a 2016 episode of KHSU’s Sound Ecology program, “We still have fish in our local streams — the Elk River, Jacoby Creek, Freshwater Creek — still get up to several hundred of these adults coming in to spawn.” He continues, “Their ability to return to their native streams is part of the life history and success of these animals, but some of them don’t go back where they started, and that’s really important in terms of recolonizing areas that have not been available .... Like everything else in nature, these animals don’t put all their eggs in one basket and they have multiple strategies for dealing with the changing environment, the key to long term survival.”

If you are lucky enough to see a spawning salmon in Humboldt County, wish him or her well and success in their endeavors. ● Hollie Ernest (she/her) is a botanist and forestry technician.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

King Count Remains Low on the Klamath

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Pacific Fishery Management Council released its “Review of 2021 Ocean Salmon Fisheries” report last week and the news wasn’t great for salmon anglers, though the numbers are trending upward.

In 2021, 53,954 adult Klamath River fall Chinook (KRFC) were estimated to have returned from the ocean compared to the preseason prediction of 62,121. Jack returns to the Klamath basin were 10,334 fish. In 2020, 45,409 adults returned along with 9,077 jacks.

Returns to the Iron Gate and Trinity hatcheries increased in 2021, as well. A total of 12,850 adults returned to the two hatcheries this fall, while in 2020 only 8,331 returned. Spawning escapement to the upper Klamath River tributaries (Salmon, Scott and Shasta rivers), where spawning was only minimally affected by hatchery strays, totaled 9,169 compared to 5,559 in 2020. The escapement in 2021 to the Shasta River was 5,972 adults. Escapement to the Salmon and Scott rivers was 1,890 and 1,307 adults, respectively.

According to the report, an estimated 2,265 fall Chinook adults were harvested in the Klamath Basin recreational fishery, which was well over the 1,221 quota.

“The age composition of this year’s in-river run (adults and jacks) will be used to estimate current ocean abundance and will determine the number of fish available for harvest in 2022,” said Wade Sinnen, senior environmental scientist on the Klamath and Trinity rivers. “There are a variety of factors that determine available harvest, including current ESA constraints in ocean and in-river fisheries. However, based on this year’s age composition, I suspect that fishing opportunity on adult fall Chinook salmon of Klamath origin will be similar to last year. Klamath fall Chinook stocks remain in ‘overfished’ status per federal guidelines.”

Next up is the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s annual Salmon Information Meeting via webinar on March 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The public meeting will feature the outlook for this year’s sport and commercial ocean salmon fisheries, in addition to a review of last year’s salmon

fisheries and spawning escapement.

Stakeholders are encouraged to provide input on potential fishing seasons to a panel of fishery managers, scientists and industry representatives who will be directly involved in the upcoming Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) meetings in March and April.

The weather ahead According to Doug Boushey of Eureka’s National Weather Service, following the system that moved through Tuesday, the rest of the week looks dry. “The next chance of rain is in the latter part of the weekend,” Boushey said. “There’s a slight chance on Saturday, mostly in Del Norte, with rain likely Sunday. The next chance for significant rain will be Tuesday.”

River Closures The South Fork Eel, Middle Fork Eel, Mattole and Redwood Creek are currently closed to fishing due to low flows. The South Fork Eel is closed from its mouth to Rattlesnake Creek. The Middle Fork Eel is closed from its mouth to Bar Creek.

The Mattole is closed to fishing from the mouth to Honeydew Creek. Redwood Creek is closed from its mouth to the confluence with Bond Creek.

The Rivers: Mad

Plenty of steelhead are still being caught on the Mad despite the low water.

The fish are holding in the holes and slots, which still have decent color. As of Tuesday, flows were 237 cubic feet per second, having come up overnight. Minimum flow is 200 cubic feet per second at State Route 299 bridge.

Kaden O’Brian from Trinidad holds a Klamath River Chinook salmon from last fall. Fishing opportunities in 2022 for fallrun salmon on the Klamath will likely be similar to last year.

Main stem Eel

As of Tuesday, flows were right around 1,800 cfs after rising slightly overnight.

The water is low and clear and the fishing continues to be inconsistent. The few boats still fishing are getting anywhere from zero to three fish per day. Most of the fish being caught are bright. Minimum flow is 350 cfs at Scotia.

Van Duzen

The Van Duzen opened back up to fishing following Monday’s rain. Flows as of Tuesday were 164 cfs and dropping. With dry conditions forecast the rest of the week, it could close prior to the weekend.

Minimum flow is 150 cfs at Grizzly Creek.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

THE KING’S MAN. As late as 2019 — which is when, if memory serves, the trailer for The King’s Man began to circulate — I could be frequently heard singing the praises of the Kingsman series. To that point, of course, only two movies had been released: Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) and Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), but they were (and can hopefully remain) cause for great excitement and optimism. Not only did they introduce most of us to Taron Egerton as the unlikely but perfectly-suited next great British spy, but they gave us Colin Firth in a new mode. But more electrifying was the franchise’s creation of a new language for action-spy-comedy. Channeling Bond and Carter and the sadistic Savile Row cool of mid-20th century British crime pictures, the first two Kingsman movies drip with style, each character perfectly costumed in timeless-hip couture, the production design a decadent, joyful imagining of a world assailed by clever, maniacal super villains and defended by cleverer-still secret agents. Most importantly, they are wall-to-wall fun, crafting a note-perfect balance of charm, humor and menace that elevates and exceeds the tone and cheek of their influences. By that standard, as my wife mournfully put it, The King’s Man is a fail.

Which is not to say it is without its attributes: Co-writer and director Matthew Vaughn returns, again working from material by comic creator Mark Millar. And so the movie is polished and imaginatively constructed, with Ralph Fiennes stepping into a lead role he seems born to play. And Rhys Ifans, as the larger than life mystic madman Rasputin, delivers a gleefully sinister performance. But in moving backward in time, the turn of the 20th century and then the depths of the First World War, The King’s Man sacrifices the glorious hybrid style — a perfectly cut orange velvet jacket covering the most futuristic of gadgetry, say — that defines and enlivens the previous two installments.

Notably, this one marks the departure of Vaughn’s longtime collaborator Jane Goldman (I believe he’s only made one other movie without her) and its skewed tone and uncharacteristically uneven pacing must, it would seem, be at least partially attributed to her absence. Gone are the lascivious

asides, the controlled sexiness and comic timing of the previous Kingsmen. Some of the trademark camera moves and over-thetop locales are here but feel phoned-in, included as an obligation rather than as contributions to the vitality and swagger of the whole affair.

What we have, instead, is a portrait of a protagonist and a continent riven by conflict, seemingly on the brink of dissolution.

Which, like many of the scenarios and characters depicted, all seems true enough to life. Because of that adherence to historical “authenticity,” though, this doesn’t feel like another chapter in the series; it isn’t much fun and it doesn’t belong.

The flame of hope remains, however dimly flickering, as it would seem there could be more Kingsman movies in the future. And, as I did for this one and despite my meaningless disappointment, I look forward to them. R. 131M. HBO MAX, AMAZON PRIME. THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE. The Sky is Everywhere Knowing my taste and proclivities better than most, the Editor suggested, as she prepared to take some time off, thereby unburdening herself of the drudgery of correcting my comments, that I should (would) review this. Aware that I am perhaps the least likely audience for a young adult, magically-realistic meditation on grief and teen love, I suspect (read: know in my bones) that she intended this as both a mild punishment and a mean-spirited joke. And, well, yeah, joke’s on me.

Having said that, I would suggest, in my defense, that I remain willing and mostly able to set aside my preconceived notions and meet art on its own terms. Even in the case of a candy-colored, lo-fi weepy like The Sky is Everywhere. But at some point we all have to admit the limits of our generosity of spirit and flexibility of mind. There have been examples of high school dramedy and romance that have gotten past my defenses and ingratiated themselves, but there aren’t many. And the frustrating thing is that it shouldn’t be that hard to make resonant, honest art out of a period in life that will remain, for many if not most, a fertile, painful and easily mined vein of experience.

Too often, though, movies with pretenses to such exploration are either under-thought,

Humboldt goes Hollywood.

The Sky is Everywhere

over-thought or, somehow most frequently of all, an ungainly combination of the two.

Which is just the sort of no-person’s land real estate inhabited by The Sky is Everywhere, directed by Josephine Decker and adapted by Jandy Nelson from her novel of the same title. Seventeen-year-old Lennie (Grace Kaufman) cannot imagine escaping the world of grief created by the death of her older sister. She has all but given up on her dream of attending Juilliard; in fact, she can barely pick up her clarinet, let alone string notes together meaningfully. Her grandmother (Cherry Jones) and inexplicably named Uncle Big (Jason Segel) try to support and comfort Lennie as well as they can, but she feels utterly alone. And so her life is exponentially complicated when her sister’s boyfriend (Pico Alexander) and the mysterious new multi-instrumentalist heartthrob in town (Jacques Colimon) make romantic overtures.

The movie is often gorgeously photographed by Ava Berkofsky (much of it almost literally in our backyards) and Kaufman gives a big, raw performance that feels as though it could have been shepherded toward greater impact.

The petition for probate requests that DAWN JEANETTE FISHER AND ERIC JAMES MARS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

2/17, 2/24, 3/3, 3/10 (22−078)

1964-2022 Our beloved Steve, husband, father, son, brother, died suddenly and unexpectedly on his daughter’s birthday.

Steve was a larger than life person who cared about everyone and was there to help whether you were family, friend, co-worker or stranger. He was generous to a fault. He was a conduit of the goodness of the universe.

Steve is survived by his loving wife Janet, his beautiful daughters, Kaitlyn and Riley, and his exceptional son, Tyler. Also by his mother Karen Anderson, his brother Dan Parr and many more relatives.

The world is a sadder place without Steve’s laughter and love. In remembrance of Steve, please be kind to each other.

OBITUARIES Local treasure, dies at 44 (from cancer) Bunny Mae Walthuis, born 8-25-1977 in Thousand Oaks, California died peacefully on February 6th, 2022 at the Hospice House in Eureka in the loving presence of her partner and close friends after a 21-month battle with stage 4 cervical cancer was finally over. Bunny is survived by her lover and partner, Tawny Foskett.

Bunny and Tawny quickly fell head over heels in love after their first date on January 7th, 2020. Together they strove to fit the 40 years of life, love and adventure they longed for having with each other, Bunny Walthuis into the two years and one month they were granted, whilst fighting terminal Aug. 25, 1977-Feb. 6, 2022 cancer entirely in a pandemic.

Bunny is also survived by her father and stepmother, Dean and Jill Walthuis, who live near Yosemite, along with four siblings; Rory Walthuis, Jamie Garcia and family, Ryan Walthuis and Josh Pope and family.

Last, but definitely not least, she is survived by “her Boys,” (her dogs) Henry and Bailey–infamous to most of Blue Lake where Bunny happily spent the last 10 years (of the 20 she had in Humboldt), which she’d come to call home. Besides her years living in Humboldt, Bunny also had adult life chapters living in Boise, Idaho as well as New York City, Hawaii, and a season working on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea off Alaska.

Bunny is also survived by a lot of close friends as well as numerous fans–after all, Bunny was voted Best Bartender of Humboldt County in both 2021 and 2019 for her 7-year tenure at The Logger Bar. -She bartended and worked in many local businesses including The Alibi, Six Rivers and Fish Brothers, where she was preparing to manage, prior to Covid and cancer. Bunny had a large and diverse friendship circle; she loved fishing with any of her many fishing buddies- whether on the ocean, bay or rivers, she loved cooking and dinner parties, golfing, cribbage, camping, music festivals and Dell’Arte shows. And of course, if you knew Bunny even a little, you knew she was a huge fan of the LA Dodgers and the Seattle Seahawks.

Bunny grew up primarily outside Seattle with her mother, Kathleen, and later younger brother, Josh. Bunny’s mother passed away in 2005 (of breast cancer) when Bunny was 27 years old. Bunny was able to share her love of Humboldt a couple times with her mother before that happened, and had special memories of time in Trinidad, at the beaches and camping with her. Bunny spent her high school years primarily with her dad’s family, attending Yosemite High and often recreating in Yosemite Park and nearby Bass Lake. Bunny was able to share this special area, as well as family, with Tawny both in August of 2021 and again for Christmas 2021.

To say she will be missed is the biggest understatement, as she already desperately is, and she will be remembered with love and fondness for many, many decades.

Bunny would want you to always tip your bartenders well, and to go have preventative checks at the doctor.

There is an Ofrenda altar at The Logger Bar, which can be viewed and contributed to at least through February. If you’d like to contribute money–which will go towards her spring memorial as well as for dog care, there is a jar for donations at The Logger Bar or you can donate to the Patreon page Tawny and Bunny made for their Bucket List Year. Otherwise, donations to either The Breast and Gyno Project in Arcata or Hospice of Humboldt, would be very appropriate and welcomed.

A chopping tool made by Homo erectus about 2 million years ago in present-day Morocco.

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com eriously! My headline isn’t hyperbole — that’s what linguists are arguing about. This isn’t like the age of the universe, with experts debating whether it’s 13.7 or 13.8 billion years old. Same thing, for most of us. This is a serious, tenfold difference of opinion. If you’re in the “continuity” camp, you believe that language arose gradually a million or more years ago in Homo erectus (“upright man”), the species of humans that led to Homo neanderthalensis and us, Homo sapiens. The “discontinuity” camp, led by the redoubtable linguist Noam Chomsky, thinks that language came about as a result of a single chance neural mutation in one member of the newly emerged Homo sapiens between 80,000 and 100,000 years ago.

Unlike tools and bones, unwritten language leaves no trace. Everything we can say about its origin has to be inferred from indirect evidence, with many scientific disciplines adding to the picture: linguistics, archaeology, comparative biology, cognitive science, paleoneuroscience, evolutionary theory, genetics and more.

The current consensus has swung away from Chomsky, who practically ruled the field of linguistics for decades (“Chomsky: Copernicus of Linguistics,” July 30, 2009), and his followers. The proponents of the gradualist camp don’t see that a single individual, born with the capacity for language as a result of a mutation, would have had an advantage over his or her non-linguist peers. I’m reminded of the H.G. Wells short story The Country of the Blind, where the only person with sight is an unwelcome aberration.

There was a brief flurry of excitement 20 years ago when a gene, FOXP2, was shown to be critical in the production of language. Was this the hypothesized “language gene” that allowed our ancestors to go from non-speaking to speaking in a few generations as it swept through ancient populations? No. Turns out language is far more complicated than can be explained

by a single mutation.

More compelling to most researchers is a scenario in which language — defined as the transmission of information by symbols — arose gradually a million or more years ago. This was a time when Homo erectus, at the time the smartest creature to have ever lived, was fashioning bone and stone tools, taming fire for cooking, creating art and journeying across oceans to the islands of Flores (Indonesia) and Socotra (off the Horn of Africa). That is, they possessed culture, the precursor of language. According to linguistic anthropologist Dan Everett (“Language: Innate or Invented?” Sept. 29, 2016), “Culture transforms ‘things’ into symbols and meaning. If erectus had symbols, it had language.”

While researchers are slowly coming to a consensus about the who (Homo erectus), when (1-2 million years ago) and where (Africa) of language, that leaves the how and what unanswered. Theories for how language came about abound, with primate communication — grunts, yells and gestures becoming increasing complex — frequently cited. What language consisted of back then is also disputed.

While the Chomsky camp maintains that grammar is essential for language, the gradualist school says that you don’t need grammar to communicate. Taking Everett’s examples, everyone knows what the grammar-less sign “No shirt, no shoes, no service” means, while the movie title “Eat Drink Man Woman” practically gives the whole plot away. And these days, a few simple emoji symbols can communicate whole realms of meaning sans grammar.

The debate over how “human’s greatest invention” came about is far from over, but increasingly it seems that we and our Neanderthal cousins were born into a world already rich with language. l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) is amazed at how easy it is to miscommunicate, even with language.
