Empty Hours

No cat hair where you slept on the chair next to me.

My milk glass - safe from your eager sips, or cereal stolen before I could sit down to eat. Or sitting on the window sill watching busy birds at the feeder, while you waited for me to scoop the last bite of breakfast so you could hurry over to jump up onto my lap for hugs

and tell you “I love you” returning purring. Non-stop. and waiting to be brushed and combed, reluctant to move away and start the day.

and returning to your dish to enjoy any remaining food. and I would have morning co eenow remembering Albert, 15 yearsthe love - forever.

‘Keep the Cars Out’

Editor:

I rode my trike up to the Arcata Plaza to enjoy the Kinetic Sculpture Race and I even was able to take a lap around the course myself before the o cial race started (“The Road to Glory,” June 1). So refreshing to see creative art vehicles with no internal combustion engines parked in the slots that are regularly occupied by automobiles, SUVs and trucks, or noisy Harleys.

At the end of the plaza portion of the race, I cruised down Eighth Street to the Creamery District and witnessed another scene altogether. Folks who had driven their individual cars to this event had parked in this neighborhood and were trying to drive out but the roads were still dedicated to the kinetic vehicles so these fossil fueled vehicles had to wait. It was a snarly mess.

Climate change is real and greenhouse gas emissions from many sources, including our individual cars, are still polluting our atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other harmful warming gases.

I say keep the cars out of Arcata on this special day and folks coming to

watch this race need to take the bus or ride a bike or scooter or skateboard or walk. Creating a car-free environment in our community will be a wonderful way to move forward for a more thriving future. Let’s do it!

‘I Am Concerned’

Editor:

As a lifelong liberal, born in San Francisco and raised in California, I don’t fit the “right wing” characterization of those concerned about drag shows for kids that is expressed in the article “Drag For The Next Generation” (May 18). But I am concerned.

I found the suggestion that I don’t know my own feelings, which might be rooted in fear or phobias instead, insulting. The claim that the opposition is afraid of “losing ... normal society” is equally presumptive.

doesn’t include commentary from any opposing view.

So here are the arguments made for all ages drag shows and why I think they’re wrong.

1) We’re already sexualizing kids in a heterosexual way, so why not in this way too.

The assumption is it’s OK to sexualize kids, but it’s not.

2) Grooming and sexual abuse is not linked to LGBTQ+ people.

But the concern is that early exposure to sexuality makes children de-sensitized and more susceptible to abuse later by anyone.

3) Drag is for sharing safe spaces, coping tools and being part of an adopted family.

This assumes children are sexually non-conforming and need support, and that it’s not provided by parents. It implies there aren’t other activities

Overall, the article is biased and Continued on page 7 »

where children can be accepted and be part of a group. These are not valid assumptions.

4) Children are the only legal group without self-representation.

But children are incapable of making informed decisions about drugs, drinking or sex.

Regarding hate and threats to the LGBTQ+ community, which do exist, I think a church sign saying “Beware” is hardly a threat.

And despite the claim of “unconditional love,” I was sincerely afraid to write this response as there’s as much hate coming from the Pride community as there is from the Proud one.

Celebrate Our Sovereignty’

Court ruling that changed everything

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

To hear former Yurok Tribe General Counsel Amy Cordalis tell it, her tribe’s path to reclaiming its full sovereignty and right to self-governance began with one woman’s simple desire for fish cheeks, a Yurok delicacy.

Geneva Brooks Mattz loved to eat fish, Cordalis says, and the whole family’s way of life revolved around catching, preparing and eating salmon. So when the desire for fish cheeks hit Sept. 24, 1969, Geneva Brooks Mattz sent her boys fishing down on the Klamath River but all her son Aawok Raymond Mattz would catch that day was a case. A California Fish and Game warden cited Cordalis’ great uncle for fishing illegally under state law and confiscated his five gill nets.

The citation wasn’t a new experience for Mattz — he’d been cited and even arrested for gill netting before, Cordalis say — but this time he decided to fight the case. And when then California Fish and Game Director Raymond Arnett initiated forfeiture proceedings for his gill nets, Mattz intervened.

“The family knew that we had what Uncle Ray would call Indian rights,” Cordalis says. “We had rights under federal law, Indian rights, that essentially allowed us to continue our fishing way of life and the state just didn’t have jurisdiction on the reservation.”

Thus launched what would become a monumental United States Supreme Court case for not just the Yurok Tribe but Indian country generally. On June 11, the 50th anniversary of the court’s ruling in the case, the Yurok Tribe will host a celebration at the Requa Resort to commemorate what Tribal Chair Joseph L. James calls “one of the most pivotal

moments in the tribe’s modern history.”

The ruling rea rmed that the Yurok Reservation is “Indian Country,” a legal term indicating that its land under the inherent sovereignty of a tribe with federally protected rights, an idea that had been contentiously disputed for decades as the state sought to exercise more authority over Yurok land and, particularly, the Klamath River.

In 1892, pursuant to the Dawes Act, Congress passed legislation allowing for “surplus” unoccupied land on Native reservations to be sold to the general public, which precipitated the loss of nearly 40 million acres of tribal property across the United States, according to the Yurok Tribe. When it came to Yurok territory, California interpreted the legislation to have terminated the portion of what was then a joint Hoopa-Yurok reservation around the lower Klamath River and, as such, the state Fish and Game Department and law enforcement agencies began seeking to enforce state laws — particularly those prohibiting gill netting and setting take limits on salmon — on tribal lands.

But that never sat well with Mattz’s family, Cordalis says, which includes “a long line of people who had fought for Indian rights,” stretching back to the mid

Aawok Raymond Mattz protests at a Berkshire Hathaway event in Omaha, Nebraska, calling for the removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River. Submitted

Elevate Your Spirits

1800s, when one of their relatives had been a part of a tribal delegation that negotiated and signed a treaty with the federal government.

When Mattz was arrested or cited for gill netting or exceeding the take limit of two salmon per year, he’d always assert that the state laws didn’t apply to him, that he had Indian rights the state couldn’t infringe upon, Cordalis says. And by 1969, he was ready to take that argument to court. He also would get some help.

California Indian Legal Services had been launched as a distinct program of California Rural Legal Services in 1967 by George Duke and Hoopa activist David Risling, who’d been inspired by the role the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People played in providing legal services that helped advance the civil rights movement. The fledgling program agreed to represent Mattz.

When Mattz and his attorney appeared before a Humboldt County judge for the forfeiture hearing shortly after the citation, Cordalis says the judge proposed a fine of $1 in exchange for the return of Mattz’ nets, a seemingly sweetheart o er intended to just put the cast to rest.

“Uncle Ray pounds the table and says, ‘No, I have Indian rights and I’m going to push this all the way through,’” Cordalis recalls with a chuckle, recounting the family story she heard countless times growing up.

Court after court rejected Mattz’ argument until he appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which heard arguments in the case in March of 1973 and issued its ruling in June, finding that there was no act of Congress that had terminated the reservation, so it remained legally Indian country, meaning the tribe’s fishing rights and sovereignty were intact.

“That essentially laid the legal groundwork for the rise of the modern Yurok Tribe as we know it today,” Cordalis says.

The ruling paved the way for so much of what has followed, from other rulings upholding the tribe’s fishing rights to passage of the Hoopa-Yurok Settlement Act, which paved the way for the Yurok Tribe adopting its constitution in 1993, formalizing its traditional form of government.

The impact of Mattz v. Arnett is so far reaching, according to former Yurok Tribal Council Chair Sue Masten, Mattz’ niece, that when the community gathers June 11, it won’t just be celebrating the case or the man behind it.

“We are organizing this event to celebrate our sovereignty, our resilience and

our rights as Yurok people,” she said in the release.

The case and its aftermath took a heavy toll on Mattz, who died in September at the age of 79. He became a target of state and local police, game wardens and federal agents, but never wavered in his e orts to protect tribal fishing rights and sovereignty, going on to be an elected member of the Yurok Tribal Council.

Cordalis also credits her Uncle Ray and great grandma Geneva Brooks Mattz with inspiring her to become a lawyer. She says she was a junior in college back in Klamath working as a fisheries technician for the tribe in 2002 when poor water quality in the Klamath River caused a massive fish kill, with more than 35,000 adult salmon killed in the river.

“I thought about all my family had done to protect our rights, and now the fish were dying,” Cordalis says. “I thought, ‘I have to do something about this.’ The previous generation of my family fought for confirmation of the legal right to fish … my generation’s fight is conservation of the resource on which the right is based, the fish.”

Cordalis says it’s fitting that Mattz will be celebrated on the anniversary of his court case as construction crews actively prepare to remove the four hydroelectric dams that choke the lower Klamath River, the culmination of a decades-long tribally led e ort to bring the largest dam removal and river restoration project in U.S. history to fruition.

“Ray is the ultimate river warrior,” she says. “He knew how to gill net on the Klamath better than anyone. And he was fierce. He was extremely fierce. He had fire in his belly. I would even call it lava in the belly. It was beyond fire. And he was extremely smart and strategic and brave.”

But Cordalis says there have been — and are — many river warriors within the Yurok Tribe and the June 11 gathering is a chance to celebrate them all, and a chance to continue to heal old wounds and right old wrongs. She says she hopes the entire community — “Indian and non-Indian, alike” — will come out to celebrate the river.

“This is a celebration of our collective river warriors and that way of life, so we encourage everyone to come celebrate with us,” she says of the event slated to start at noon June 11 at the Requa Resort. “We’ll feed you and tell you some really good fish stories.”

CA Taxpayers on the Hook

By Dan Walters/Calmatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

The Klamath River begins in Oregon, draining the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains, and slices through the northwestern corner of California before flowing into the Pacific Ocean.

The Colorado River begins in Colorado, at the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains, before meandering southwesterly and emptying into Mexico’s Sea of Cortez — if there’s any water left after California and other states have tapped the river for irrigation and municipal supplies.

Although hundreds of miles apart, the two rivers share a common malady: So much of their waters were impounded or diverted that they became unhealthy.

The two rivers also share something else: Taxpayers, rather than those who manipulated the rivers for profit, are footing the bill for restoring their flows.

After decades of debate and negotiation, work has just begun to dismantle the first of four hydropower dams that plug the Klamath and block migration of salmon, steelhead and other species. One of the

dams is more than a century old.

The dams’ owner, PacificCorp, initially said it would seek relicensing of the four dams. But amid fierce opposition from environmentalists, fishermen (and women) and Native American tribes, and after billionaire Warren Buffett acquired the company, it agreed to remove them.

It’s unlikely that the dams could have been relicensed, given their age and the opposition, so the company’s posture was probably a bluff, but one that worked. After Buffett bought PacificCorp in 2005, his close friend, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, persuaded the Legislature to set aside $250 million in state bond funds ($500 million with interest) to underwrite removal.

PacificCorp is providing about $215 million while Oregon, the primary user of the dams’ hydropower, is providing just a few million dollars. Why California taxpayers should provide such a huge share of removal costs remains an unanswered question.

Last month, once again after protracted and often acrid negotiations, the federal Bureau of Reclamation announced a multi-state

deal to reduce water diversions from the Colorado River by some 3 million acre-feet over the next three years, thereby staving off a crisis that threatens the viability of two immense upstream reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell.

Three-fourths of the reduction would be underwritten by more than $1 billion in federal payments to diverters in Arizona, Nevada and California, while the remainder would be uncompensated voluntary cuts.

The Imperial Irrigation District, in California’s southeastern corner, is the largest diverter, with a legal right to more than 3 million acre-feet of water a year, and thus will receive a large chunk of the federal money. Not surprisingly, the district praised the new agreement.

The deal was reached after the Bureau of Reclamation threatened to impose cuts on Imperial and other diverters to prevent the two reservoirs from becoming inoperable due to years of drought.

“California has stepped up to make significant cuts to water usage and now, this historic partnership between California and

other Lower Basin states will help maintain critical water supply for millions of Americans as we work together to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Colorado River System for decades to come,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.

While the agreement addresses the immediate crisis on the Colorado, the many stakeholders will also be negotiating a supposedly permanent pact on how its water will be divvied up and Imperial and other California diverters will be seeking even more federal money to offset their losses. Both Klamath and Colorado situations could, and probably should, have been resolved without taxpayers on the hook to compensate those whose actions had caused their problems in the first place. But, as the old saying goes, money talks while bull---- walks. l

ACLU Alleges Sheriff’s Office Data Sharing Violates State Law

The American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are demanding that the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and 70 other California law enforcement agencies immediately stop sharing license plate data with their out-of-state counterparts, particularly those in states that have criminalized abortion.

At issue is agencies’ use of automated license plate readers — digital cameras that record and log the license plates of passing vehicles, documenting when and where they were seen, and sometimes uploading that information to a massive database accessible by other departments. Law enforcement agencies have touted the technology — sometimes used at fixed locations and sometimes attached to patrol cars — as an important tool for locating flagged vehicles, or those entered into the data base as having been stolen or associated with someone wanted for a crime. Civil liberties groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, however, have repeatedly warned that the readers have the potential to passively collect reems of data allowing agencies to effectively track people not suspected of any crime. And now with multiple states not only banning abortion but passing laws allowing the prosecution of people who leave the state to terminate a pregnancy and those who help them, the groups fear these readers could supply agencies with evidence to bolster those cases.

“We are particularly concerned that anti-abortion states may seek to exploit this information to track, locate and prosecute abortion seekers and providers,” the groups wrote in their letters to dozens of law enforcement agencies. “Regardless of your department’s intent, this act of sharing poses a risk to people and violates state law.”

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office only has one automated license plate reader,

or ALPR, which was affixed to a patrol car last year and used for about 12 months by three deputies who were trained to use the technology as a pilot program, according to spokesperson Samantha Karges.

“The testing and evaluation ended at the beginning of this year and is being reviewed by administrative staff for improvements and next steps prior to full implementation,” Karges said in an email to the Journal, adding that the technology is not currently in use by the department.

According to documents released to the ACLU and EFF in response to a records request, the technology read 244,457 license plates from January to November of 2022, registering 4,220 “hits,” or plates that were flagged and on some sort of watch list. That information — documenting exactly when and where almost a quarter of a million cars were spotted in Humboldt County — was then automatically uploaded to a database accessible by more than 400 agencies throughout the country, from Texas and Louisiana to New Jersey and New England.

“ALPR assists law enforcement agencies in working together to solve crime, because as we know, crime is not confined within jurisdictional boundaries,” Karges said. “ALPR allows us to partner with out-of-county law enforcement agencies to combat criminal activity, creating a safer community for all.”

Karges added that in compliance with state law, the data is not shared with federal law enforcement agencies tasked with immigration enforcement. But the ACLU and EFF fear the data is being shared with agencies who may be looking to build a case against someone for seeking an abortion in California.

“ALPR technology and the information it collects is vulnerable to exploitation against people seeking, providing and facilitating access to abortion,” the ACLU and EFF letters state. “Law enforcement

From the Forest Moon

officers in anti-abortion jurisdictions who receive the locations of drivers collected by California-based ALPRs may seek to use that information to monitor abortion clinics and the vehicles seen around them and closely track the movements of abortion seekers and providers. This threatens even those obtaining or providing abortions in California, since several anti-abortion states plan to criminalize and prosecute those who seek or assist in out-of-state abortions.”

Sharing the data is a violation of state law, the organizations argue, as it prohibits local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with out-of-state entities investigating abortions that are lawful in California.

The letter from the ACLU and EFF requests a response from agencies by June 15. While Karges said the sheriff’s office “has been made aware” of the letter, but did not answer a Journal question regarding how it

plans to respond.

The ACLU and EFF conclude their letter urging departments to not only come into compliance with state law by immediately ending data sharing with out-of-state-agencies, but also to ditch the ALPR technology entirely.

“The risks to civil liberties and civil rights that ALPR technology creates are well-documented,” the letter states. “Even if the department takes steps to prevent the formal sharing of data with out-of-state agencies, the risk of informal sharing with these same agencies will remain. Thus, the best way to ensure that … residents and visitors are safe from unnecessary intrusion into their personal lives is to reject the use of ALPR technology altogether.”

Launching Nigila x̂

By Ruby Cayenne newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

The air was wet with mist and the crashing waves created a rhythm as the traditional vessel of the Unangan people from Unalaska touched the waters of Sandy Cove. The vessel is a large open-skin boat called a nigilax and was launched at the Alaska Native Day celebration in Metini, or Fort Ross in the Pomoan language, over Memorial Day weekend. Alaska Native Day at the fort is held at Metini yearly and was initially organized by an Unangax̂ woman several years ago. This celebration marked the first time in more than 250 years that a nigilax̂ went out to sea.

This nigilax̂ was crafted in Humboldt County at the Mind’s Eye Factory in Ferndale. The lead builder and owner of the factory Marc Daniels-Aygagnax̂ and many others have been envisioning one of these vessels on the water for decades. He wanted to make sure the vessel was not just displayed but used for its purpose by the Unangan people.

“We started off by meeting with Wiyot people and asking for the tribal blessing to begin the project since we’re on Wiyot ancestral lands,” Daniels-Aygagnax̂ said. He received blessings from the tribal government of Saint Paul Island, Alaska,

and the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska. At the beginning of the build, Perry Lincoln and his niece, both members of the Wailaki Tribe in Round Valley, sang a song of blessing.

People from different walks of life gathered on the shore of Sandy Cove in Metini to witness the launch. Indigenous elders from different tribes sat near the nigilax̂ and talked among themselves and with others, further building connections between different Native and non-Native communities.

“The way I feel today is that we are doing right by our ancestors and showing

how we are human beings like everybody else. This vessel is a way for our people to express ourselves and our culture,” said Bob Sam, or Shaaguunaasta, a Tlingit elder, councilmember for Sitka, Alaska, and caretaker of the Native cemetery at Metini. Sam was one of the elders to bless the nigilax̂ before it entered the water, along with elders or representatives of the Wailaki, Kashaya Pomo and the Unangan people, including the mayor of Unalaska and traditional Unangan dancers. According to Sam, Native people are stewards of the land and sea. He believes that when

two cultures meet there should be unity rather than disparity.

Centuries ago, all the Unangan people’s nigilax̂ were intentionally destroyed by Russian colonizers who arrived in the Aleutian Islands with extractive intentions. They enslaved many of the Unangax̂ people to take advantage of their superior hunting abilities and took “Unangan women and children hostage, demanding furs in exchange for their lives,” according to the National Institute of Health.

The enslaved Unangan people were forcefully taken on an otter hunt that spanned the continent from Alaska, and down through the Pacific Coast, eventually settling in Metini to build a fur trading station. The Unangan people who were with them made a home for themselves there, thousands of miles from their ancestral homelands of Unalaska.

Daniels-Aygagnax̂ has been practicing Indigenous boat building for 30 years and was first invited to the Pribilof Islands by an Unangax̂ community to build their traditional kayak called an iqyax. Daniels-Aygagnax̂ fell in love with the community and the land there. Not wanting to leave, he worked to become a high school shop teacher to stay in the area. This allowed him to continue learning about the Unangax̂ culture and traditional boat building. He formed a kayak club with the intention of getting Indigenous Unangax̂ vessels into the hands of the Native people to be used on the water.

The plan, Daniels-Aygagnax̂ said, was to spend time in each of the 13 Unangan villages in the region, passing on the

knowledge of how to build iqyax̂ and teach others to do the same. As a part of the effort, Daniels-Aygagnax̂ created an apprenticeship program for Unangan students, and it was during this time that an Unangax̂ mentor gave him the name Aygagnax̂ , the closest translation of which is “one who walks.”

Over time, Daniels-Aygagnax̂ began to dream of crafting the larger nigilax̂ canoes, though the task was daunting because there is little information on the construction of these vessels. Information on the boats was limited to a handful of sketches and references in centuries-old journals. Daniels-Aygagnax̂ was given access to a museum archive in which he discovered two unidentified pieces and realized they were ribs of a nigilax̂ . As a builder, Daniels-Aygagnax̂ said these ribs gave him great insight into the construction of these vessels and helped improve his technique.

There was also the challenge of recreating the crafts without access to traditional Unangan materials. According to Daniels-Aygagnax̂ , search for wood used in the nigilax̂ started on the beach and was collected in the traditional way, to be used in the curved parts of the boat, such as the bow and stern. Synthetic alternatives to some of the traditionally used materials, like whale baleen and sea lion skin, were used for sustainability purposes. Steel-edged hand tools and power tools that were used also differ markedly from the ivory and stone tools

used traditionally.

Kanesia McGlashan-Price was one of the Unangax̂ tribal members who came to see the traditional boat of her people touch the water. She also worked on the nigilax̂ alongside Daniels-Aygagnax̂

“This was such a monumental moment,” McGlashan-Price said. “I didn’t expect to feel so held by the other Native communities here, and it is so wonderful.”

The nigilax̂ did three separate runs in the water. With a different group aboard each time, but with Daniels-Aygagnax̂ a mainstay at the bow, the boat paddled out to sea and then did a loop around the cove before coming back in. Out in the water, different creatures — like sea lions and sea otters — swam alongside it.

“I am just absorbing the moment and being present,” Daniels-Aygagnax̂ said.

“This is a culmination of many years and seeing my dream and other people›s dreams happen is amazing. This is for me and everyone on this beach.”

After the final run, the nigilax̂ was brought to shore, and everyone present made their way up to the fort, where attendees shared food and watched traditional dances performed by a Unangan group.

“I really feel blessed that I could come here and be part of the launching of the nigilax̂ ,” said Vincent Tutiakoff Sr., mayor of Unalaska and chair of the Ounalashka Village Corporation. “It’s something I’d never thought I’d be able to do, in my lifetime anyway.” l

Oyster Fest Hopes to Pack the Plaza Again

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

The last time revelers swarmed the Arcata Plaza for Oyster Fest was 2019, the pre-pandemic Before Times, when long lines, sunburn and a hangover were the looming fears. Following two years of virtual events and a ticketed in-person event in the Creamery District last June, the annual bivalve bacchanalia is set to take over the town’s main square Saturday, June 10. With the hoped-for crowds comes the revival of the blind-judged oyster competition.

Gil Miracle, who took his post as event coordinator of Arcata Main Street early this year, is optimistic about the turnout. “If the sponsorships are any indication, we’re gonna have a banner year for attendees as well,” he says. Last year’s event, early in the return to large public gatherings, brought some 6,000 attendees who paid the $15 cover charge. A year later and without fencing or fees, he says, “I think 12,000 is a pretty solid floor; we could hit 15,000. I don’t wanna be cocky but it could be a record year.”

Organizers worked with Zero Waste Humboldt to minimize the impact of the anticipated throng, requiring compostable packaging at all food and drink stalls and reusable/recyclable aluminum cups only. There’ll be no plastic and no glass — be ready to have your bag checked, too. “We have a compost bin that’s going to be bigger than our trash bin,” says Miracle. To cut down on traffic, there’ll be bike valet service at 10th and G streets, which he describes as “a coat check for your bike,” and shuttles running to Arcata High School and Murphy’s Market to the corner of 10th and H streets by the Minor. “Leave your dogs and coolers at home and come ready to have a good time,” he advises.

Vendors, too, are banking on the resurgence of crowds, with 33 ponying up the $600 fee for 10-by-20-foot food stalls. (Non-food vendor fees are $150.) It’s a serious uptick from the handful of vendors that scrambled to serve long lines and mostly sold out of oysters early in the day last year.

“It was hard to get people to participate in the last years and I get it,” says Arcata Vice Mayor and Executive Director of the Arcata Chamber of Commerce Meredith Matthews. “It’s just a huge commitment in terms of time and labor … staffing your restaurant and still having enough labor to run a booth all day. It’s a big ask.” And when in-person gathering still felt new, the ask was an even bigger risk for vendors hoping to turn a profit. “I think this year it’s going to be amazing.

Maya Matsumoto, who has owned Obento with partner Shin Tamura since 2019, says their first foray into the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival last year had a steep learning curve that has them more prepared this time around. “That was our first festival and it was a little stressful because it was very busy; there weren’t that many vendors.” Obento feeds Cal Poly Humboldt students on campus and sells evening takeout, but the festival stall was a big change in terms of timing and working with only one fryer. “I definitely am grateful that it’s on the plaza again. That space last year was a little too cramped.”

Matsumoto expects three or four times the attendees Saturday, for which Obento has ordered 17 gallons of oysters through Pacific Seafood. With electricity provided on the plaza, there’ll also be multiple refrigeration units, two fryers and a flat-top grill. “I think it’ll be worth it for us if we can do numbers similar to last year.” Obento will also be vying for Best Oyster this time around. “We didn’t enter last year because we were kind of intimidated.”

Matthews is heading up the oyster competition with a group of veteran judges: Humboldt County Supervisor Mike Wilson, Arcata Mayor Sarah Schaefer, Jada

Brotman, Bob Doran, Michael Bettencourt of sponsor Pacific Paradise, and (Journal contributors) Jessica Ashley Silva and Wendy Chan. “Everybody’s happy we can be in one place and not drive around,” says Matthews. Instead of presentations by chefs at their restaurants, the panel will sample anonymous entries and score them to determine the best hot, cold, locavore and best in show winners. The requirement that contestants be vendors has been relaxed somewhat to broaden participation and include last year’s champion independent chef David Orluck.

Out on the plaza, the rest of us can queue up for oysters from Tide to Table, Cam’s Pizza, North Bay Shellfish, Eureka High School Cheer, Restaurant 511, Bear River Casino, Nori, the Oyster Lady, Tomo and Manzanilla Kitchen. The alcoholic lineup is headlined by Mad River Brewing Co., the only beer brand at the festival, with its Shuck It brew. Humboldt Cider Co.’s Aw Shucks cider, Humboldt Distillery vodka, and wines from Briceland Vineyards, Trinity River Vineyards and Nevermore Cellars will also be flowing.

Matthews’ own favorite oyster is a “fresh Kumo with Tobasco and lemon juice. I’m a purist — maybe a little horseradish.” Still, she’s excited to see Humboldt’s culinary creativity on full display again.

“I hope that 15,000 people show up. I hope it puts us back on the map,” says Matthews. “Arcata needs it; we need it.” l

Kinky Boots Walks Tall at FRT

By Doranna Benker Gilkey frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

The musical Kinky Boots, written by Harvey Fierstein (music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper), is about the journey of self-expression fraught with internal and external barriers. And, yes, it’s about boots. The 2005 British movie from which the musical is adapted is inspired by the real-life story of a declining family-owned shoe business that makes a comeback by pivoting to high heels for men.

Ferndale Repertory Theatre has chosen an apt play to run during Pride month since main character Lola (Kombujia aka Virgo Marroquin) and her supporting ensemble group (Roux Kratt, Izzy Ferraro, Rigel Schmitt, Glit Clit) are drag queens. Their existence as out, proud and fabulous in juxtaposition to the other main character Charlie (William English III), and his mundane factory employees is the conceit of the musical. The two protagonists are opposites with shared material goals (that’s the boots) and existentially (to live as your authentic self). Within their conjoined stories, everyone (yes, you too) will find something that resonates with their own. Some will be lifted by seeing themselves in the extraordinary representation on stage amid a range of skin tones, body types, and LGTBQ+ identities. Some will recognize the struggle of trying to find where you fit in. Everyone will see a great story told in song and dance on stage.

Korbin Cambell and Rigel Schmitt are charming in the opening father/son scene as young Charlie and Mr. Price, respectively. Schmitt is earnest as a father trying to share his life’s work with his young son. Campbell is very present and convincing as a young Charlie somewhat overwhelmed by his father’s interest in shoes.

When next we see Charlie, a likable if unfocused, young man played by English. He gives Charlie a magnetic energy that keeps us interested in his journey to discover his own life’s purpose. Charlie may seem like a poster-boy ally, but he is flawed in a way that reflects many

well-meaning straight people who think they’re doing enough.

Lola bursts onto the stage like a supernova, leading her Angels in a drag show with verve and pizzazz.

Kombujia plays her with superstar-level confidence, making her seem untouchable at first, then showing vulnerability in moving moments of uncertainty.

Tiggerbouncer Custodio’s (a Journal contributor) direction encourages emotional highs and lows tied together in theme, creating a clear, tapestried and immersive story. Costumes by Olivia Gambino, choreography by Cleo Z. DeOrio and Custodio’s stage direction create contrasts in the ensembles that reflect di erences between their associated protagonists. The result is characters impressive in their individuality within their respective themes — they are their own characters without confusing or complicating the story. The Angels certainly have their work cut out for them with stylized, provocative dance moves, while factory employees are more sedate. The costumes speak to the characters and help tell the story: muted uniforms for the factory employees, bold individual looks for the Angels. The set is well put together and marks di erent locations clearly. I especially love the revolving wall revealing a bar. Happily, the music does not overwhelm the cast’s voices, hitting the Goldilocks of volume: just right. The songs are wide-ranging in energy and style, supporting the protagonist’s journey.

Lola overcomes bigotry and betrayal with a lot of strength and sass but without any kind of partner or support. Of course,

her Angels are on her side, but their support is silent and indirect. Everything she goes through, she experiences alone. Charlie, on the other hand, has his fiancé Nicola (Jesse McQuade) to push him one direction, love interest Lauren (Samahri Brice) to pull him another and factory foreman George (Brad Harder) to help him shoulder factory responsibilities. I’m unsure if the asymmetry is art reflecting life or life reflecting art, but it is one example of nuanced storytelling layered throughout the piece that, if you let it, could make you think.

The evening I attended had a few o moments, as it seemed to take everyone a couple of numbers to really get their energy out. There were some strained voices and some actors lost their light once or twice. The quiet moments were muddied by a humming just loud enough for my brain to fixate on. However, none of it interfered with the story or is likely to be repeated. Those imperfections are the fingerprints in the clay that tell you it’s art made by people.

There are many reasons to see this musical: to support local artists and local theater, to celebrate the 2S LGBTQIA+ community, to enjoy song, dance and story, and to stretch your mind and heart. Also, if you’ve ever been curious about drag shows but too intimidated to go, this is a great chance to see a little bit of show within a show. When you see just how fun

it is, you can catch some of the very same performers at local drag shows. Like the song says, “You change the world when you change your mind.” ●

Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s production of Kinky Boots runs through July 2 with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Call (707) 786-5483 or visit ferndalerep.org.

Doranna Benker Gilkey (she/her) will accept you just as you are. She hates glib slogans for life-and-death matters, but since some things must be said: Protect trans kids. Love is love. Drag is Shakespearean, not a sin.

Wind Relents and Boats Get Back on the Water

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

It’s been a quiet week for o shore anglers along the North Coast. The wind and seas finally relented Wednesday, allowing the Eureka-based fleet of boats to get back on the water. It’s been a long time coming as most charter and private boats haven’t fished since early last week. And it looks like we have some flat water at least through Friday. By the time Sunday rolls around, it looks like we’re back to strong north winds and big seas. If you’ve been waiting to get o shore, you’ll want to take advantage of this weather window.

Weekend marine forecast

Ocean conditions will be much improved beginning Wednesday. Looking towards the weekend, winds will be from the northwest 5 to 10 knots for Friday, with west waves 4 feet at 15 seconds. Saturday’s forecast is calling for north winds five to 15 knots and north swells seven feet at seven seconds and west four feet at 13 seconds. On Sunday, north winds will begin to increase and predicted to blow 10 to 20 knots. Waves will be from the northwest 10 feet at nine seconds and west three feet at 13 seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit weather. gov/eureka or windy.com. You can also call the National Weather Service at (707) 443-7062 or the o ce on Woodley Island at (707) 443-6484.

The Oceans: Eureka

Howling winds have kept the Eureka fleet tied to the dock since last week. The wind is finally forecast to calm down Wednesday, so expect a crowd moving west through the jaws. Excellent condi-

tions are predicted through Saturday, which will allow boats to make it down to Cape Mendocino for rockfish and make some drifts for halibut as well. The California halibut bite is finally picking up some steam. A few are being caught daily from the Coast Guard Station up to Arcata Bay. Reportedly, there isn’t any real concentrations of bait fish yet.

Trinidad

“Weather has been up and down, but fishing is rock solid,” said Tony Sepulveda of Shellback Sport Fishing. “We were o the water Sunday and Monday for big seas, but the rest of the week saw great action. Pacific halibut has been really consistent with limits every day we tried this week. Bites seemed to come a little faster on the days I ran 13 miles southwest and fished with the Eureka fleet. But the grade was much better on the days I fished just a few miles out front. And had limits either way so feeling like unless something changes, I’ll be sticking close to home. Most of the fish we kept ran 15 to 50 pounds. The local reef is kicking out limits of jumbo blacks and a few lingcod. Remote waters run is giving up limits of mixed rockfish species and limits of lingcod to more than 30 pounds.”

Shelter Cove

Jake Mitchell, of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing had been o the water due to weather since early last week. He was finally able to get back out Tuesday and reported quick limits of rockfish in 300 feet of water o

Bear Harbor. The lingcod bite was slower and he managed to entice just a few. The rest of the morning was spent at the Hat drifting for halibut.

Crescent City

Quite a few Pacific halibut are being caught by the guys who know what they’re doing reports Britt Carson, of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. He said, “The majority of halibut being caught have come from just south of the South Reef in 235 to 280 feet of water with boats anchoring having the best success. Herring has been the top bait. The rockfish action is excellent, with limits coming easily at both reefs. There are quite a few lingcod around as well. A few California halibut have been caught, but they haven’t shown up in big numbers yet.”

“LARGEST BRAND SELECTION IN THE COUNTY”

Nonbinary Runners Find Their Lane

Avenue of the Giants Marathon moves toward inclusion

By Ollie Hancock ollie@northcoastjournal.com

Eureka local Madison MacGregor made a promise to themself to one day run in the Avenue of the Giants half Marathon again. It had been seven years and two hip surgeries since they last attempted the race. Following the lead of other major marathons, Avenue of the Giants hosted its first nonbinary category, and MacGregor was able to race in a category that affirmed their identity.

MacGregor nearly missed the start, rolling up to the line just in time to hear the 30-second warning. They didn’t enter the race expecting much, just hoping to fulfill their promise. To their surprise, they walked away with first place — with a time of 2:11:26 — among the handful of nonbinary athletes the race hosted. There were three other athletes in the field, but MacGregor expects the numbers to grow.

“More people will join. I think many people just didn’t know it was an option,” MacGregor said. “We’ve been historically excluded for so long I just don’t think anyone knew there would be a category for us.”

MacGregor believes that marathons are a great way for trans and non-binary athletes to participate without feeling singled out. The integration of gender-diverse athletes into spaces that have been binary for so long can be cumbersome. Since the field runs all together, there’s no way of telling who’s registered with what gender category. From young to old, MacGregor said, everyone is out there supporting everybody.

“It’s not like the local rec teams out here for soccer and basketball are doing anything; it’s all very binary,” MacGregor said. “Bigger cities have queer and trans sports clubs. Here it’s so small it feels like this is the one sport we get to be included in.”

Chad Christensen was the only nonbinary athlete in the full marathon. This was their 16th marathon but the first they’ve been able to run in a nonbinary category. Christensen sees the nonbinary community in sport growing. They said it was nice to race as themself in somewhere as beautiful as Avenue of the Giants.

“I’ll be back again to race in the nonbinary category [in the 43rd Humboldt Redwoods Marathon] in October,” Christensen said.

Race organizer Cindy Timek says the integration went smoothly. Six Rivers Running Club intends to offer more opportunities for athletes to race in a comfortable way. She said there’s no harm in offering another category. Inclusion means allowing athletes to race where they feel comfortable, not using the nonbinary category as a catch-all for any trans or gender nonconforming athlete; that would be exclusion.

“We can take baby steps to make everyone more comfortable,” Timek said. “We can just start with registration, asking ‘How do you identify?’”

Timek says that there are misconceptions about trans and nonbinary athletes that can result in their exclusion. Nationwide debates over the inclusion of nonbinary and trans athletes cite inherent advantages tied to gender. “There’s a perception that if you’re trans, you might out-compete other athletes.” However, she says. “That’s just not true because top athletes are top athletes regardless of how they identify.”

Then there is the argument that cis women’s opportunities are threatened

THE COUNTIES LARGEST POWER EQUIPMENT DEALER

FEATURING THESE TOP OF THE LINE BRAND NAMES

by the inclusion of trans and nonbinary athletes against whom cis women are assumed to be unable to compete. However, the Avenue of the Giants half marathon results supported Timek’s point about top athletes as cis female runner Sarah Klass from Emeryville, California, finished with the fastest time, 1:17:52. She was almost a minute faster than any male or nonbinary athlete.

MacGregor was able to fulfill their self-promise and then some. They’ve always identified as an athlete, from softball and soccer to running and martial arts. This race allowed them to combine two parts of their identity in a way they weren’t allowed. Trans and nonbinary athletes are looking for the community and embodiment that sport offers.

“This is the first time we’ve had a category but it’s not the first time nonbinary people have asked for inclusion,” said MacGregor. “We’ve always been here.” l

Lynn M. Jones Carves Out Her Niche

By Louisa Rogers artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

Looking through the window at Just My Type Letterpress Paperie’s new location on Second Street, you see a humming scene: a miniature letterpress, with delicate fair-trade Himalayan paper rosettes hanging above. Behind are displays of cards, prints and stickers. In keeping with the shop’s theme, it has an old-timey feel. Shops all over the country sell owner Lynn Jones’ hand-printed stationery, cards, notepads, art prints, tea towels and calendars, all of which feature her linoleum block prints. Stationery Trends Magazine named her one of ten designers to watch in 2022.

“I’ve always loved making things. My favorite part of school was anything that involved using my hands,” says Jones, who moved from the East Bay to Humboldt County in 1996, attending Humboldt State University and majoring in studio art. Neither of her parents was artistic, but she ended up one of a few hundred letterpress artists in the country.

One summer during college, she interned with legendary Berkeley graphic artist and printmaker David Lance Goines, who taught her how to hand-carve linoleum blocks and use a letterpress, where the text or image is on a raised surface, as on a rubber stamp.

After graduating, Jones moved back in with her parents, a period that lasted only for the three days she needed to figure out where her relationship with Andy, her college boyfriend and eventual husband, was going. The couple ended up living in the Bay Area for three years but moved back to Humboldt in 2005, when the former Lambert & McKeehan Printers sold her their letterpresses. She had started acquiring printing equipment in 2003 and this was the collection she needed to fully set up a studio. They now live with their two teenage children in a home they designed themselves in Blue Lake.

Jones has three main letterpresses: a 1964 fully automatic Heidelberg Windmill, built in East Germany; a labor-intensive hand-fed 1925 Chandler & Price, owned by Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate; and the 1947

Vandercook 219OS, on which she prints her limited edition art on sheets up to 18by-24 inches with beautiful ink coverage.

Much of her early business entailed printing custom wedding invitations. In 2015, she started printing letterpress packaging for Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate, with its trademark nautical images and vintage feel. A turning point came in 2016, when Jones opened a retail storefront at 501 Third Street, into the restored historic Carson Block Building. About 20 brick and mortar stores sell their own in-house letterpress stationery in the U.S., but Just My Type is the only one using hand-carved linoleum block prints.

Since childhood, when Jones would play, walk, run and bike in the East Bay Regional Parks, the natural world has been important to her, and she now includes nature in much of her work. Her images cover a broad spectrum, from California poppies to scorpions, Victorian buildings to skulls, some whimsical like a floral skateboard and a cat with a book.

Though Jones has gone beyond the print medium on occasion. In 2019, she departed from her letterpress activities for over a month to paint the wall-length mural of redwoods, “Reverence for Elders,” in the Melvin Schuler Sculpture Garden of Morris Graves Museum of Art during the Eureka Street Art Festival. It’s 36 feet tall and 17 feet wide. The image is based on her linoleum block print of the same name and was created especially for that space. “Reverence for Elders” is visible from Seventh Street even when the museum is closed. “It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” Jones says, “I’d never painted a mural, but to have a piece at the Morris Graves that might never be taken down, I had to give it a shot.”

“Retail wasn’t my dream,” Jones says. “Actively selling makes me feel like a carnival barker.” Still, the shop did so well that in 2020 she moved around the corner to the big space in the front of the building. She had already started selling her products on the wholesale market in 2019, now under the name Lynn-oleum. She goes to

wholesale trade shows all over the country and sells through her website and the San Francisco-based website Faire, which “is trying to be the Amazon of wholesale business.”

Wholesale is now 60 percent of Jones’ business, while retail is 30 percent and Dick Taylor just 10. She’d like to increase the retail share but foot traffic in Old Town has decreased. “Plenty of locals supported us during the pandemic,” Jones says, “but now everybody seems to be back to normal and not as many locals are coming to Old Town. People need to realize that for local businesses to survive, they need consistent patronage. Old Town isn’t just for tourists and holidays.”

On June 1, Just My Type Paperie moved to 324 Second St. Jones didn’t want to deal with the upcoming roadwork on F Street (“no one wants to come into a store listening to jackhammers outside!”). And she wanted to be accessible during the

Friday Night Market. When her storefront was located in the Carson Block Building, only a half block away, no one drinking a beer at the market could get near it due to the strictly maintained alcohol boundary.

Jones never tires of the work, especially the carving phase, which involves careful, meticulous attention to detail. She loves pushing a carving tool through linoleum and deciding what to carve away to create the negative space in the final print. Her long-term goal is to focus solely on the creative part of her business, to be an artist doing her work in Blue Lake. “If I had to pick one thing to do for the rest of my life, it would be hand carving linoleum blocks,” she says. l

Bee Loud

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

June has arrived, which means summer is basically here. It certainly was for me last weekend but more on that later. Before industrial societies overtook the global paradigm, summer started when nature felt like it, which, for classical and middle period Europeans, usually meant sometime in May, and certainly well before the summer solstice. The French Republican Calendar of the revolutionary era was based on earthly and natural events, rather than gods and feasts. According to its edicts, we are in the Prairial, or meadow season of summer. The days are similarly seasonally named and I am writing this on the day of the Elderberry. Here in Humboldt, there are many growing attractions and monuments, courtesy of nature, you can go see and enjoy, even on the side of the road, where blackberries are blooming in places. Which brings me back to my weekend activities. On Sunday my partner and I (she did the real thinking work; I was the dumb labor) installed two colonies of apis mellifera ligustica, the Italian honey bee, in a peach orchard on our friends’ farm. We also took our first river dip of 2023. Hopefully, the busy insects will get oriented quickly and establish their 2-mile scavenging range, which includes a lot of the previously mentioned blooming brambles. I saw poetry come to life this weekend and have experienced what Yeats meant when he wrote about living in a “bee-loud glade.” It’s lovely beyond words.

The back-end of all of this summer bliss is a quieter music scene, at least until the festivals hit their stride. But that’s all rolling out according to plan, as well, as this weekend sees the return of Oyster Fest to the Arcata Plaza. So don’t worry too much about filling in the blank days, the busy ones will do the heavy lifting for you. Bee well, bee seeing you.

Thursday

I haven’t written much about Blondie’s lately, which is a shame: I like this place,

it has serene vibes. I also haven’t written about an open mic recently, so let’s converge the two themes and I’ll suggest that you head over here at 6 p.m. if you wish to engage in, or simply watch, the fun. Free.

Friday

With Oyster Fest looming on the horizon, it might seem premature to offer my trademarked “Show of the Week,” especially this early on, but here we are. The date is 6/9 and The Sturgeons have decided to celebrate one of the most egalitarian and mutually beneficial bedroom maneuvers with a show at the Jam (insert your own preferred innuendo here). The band is also celebrating the release of its music video for the track “Maybe You Could,” which should be up on YouTube as of print time. Along for the ride are veteran rockers War Möth and metalheads Midnight Mass. The hour of reckoning is 7 p.m. and an extremely reasonable $5 gets you inside.

Saturday

Oyster Fest is back in its vintage form, and there will be beaucoup happy daytime spoils for any and all comers to the Arcata Plaza, fingers crossed. If you are looking for an afterparty, well, that’s my beat. I suggest you head to the Miniplex at 9 p.m., where Black Humboldt is throwing a party. Performances by Miss Leading Burlesque, DJ Sovern-T and Soul from City

Hippie will be on deck, so this looks like a dancestravaganza. One thing sticks out in the advertising and promotional material, though. The name Boogie Down Productions is attached to the PR gear I got and I have to say, this can’t be KRS-One’s ’80s outfit, so what are we doing here? I guess there’s only one way to find out and the price – $10 – is right.

Sunday

Local traveler and world musical encyclopedia Oryan Peterson-Jones is gearing up to hit the road this summer and he will be playing some farewell gigs on the way out of the gate toward foreign destinations. Today is one such gig, and even better, it’s free. Come to Humboldt Cider Co. at 3 p.m. to see what I am talking about.

Monday

While many other venues are quieting down for the summer off-season, Savage Henry Comedy Club still has the goods, and Metal Mondays is still alive and kicking. Tonight’s offering at 7 p.m. trends toward the stoner metal/doom sound, with touring bands Gray Goo and Twin Void offering the former, while local(ish) Insomnia Syndrome offers the latter. Two other regional bands bring the noise as well, with The Cookers on the punk tip, while LASHR’D is more balls-to-the-wall rock. It’s a $5-$10 cover, which is a small sacrifice to engage in this fine ritual.

Tuesday Eh, I’m going to the river.

Wednesday

Growing up, most of my favorite summer memories oscillated between being weird and wild out in the coastal woods of North-Central Humboldt, where I created a vast and often chaotic fantasy world with my friends, and going to the library, where I got the tools (for free) to feed the engines of that world. This content could be anything from a VHS copy of John Boorman’s neon-Medieval masterpiece Excalibur, to the mysterious and haunted works of authors like Alvin Schwartz, R.L. Stine, P.D. James or Edgar Allen Poe. In deference to those golden days, and with respect to the glorious institution of free public learning, I’d like to suggest an event for those of you with growing creatures in your family roster. The Blue Lake Library is hosting a family literacy party with North Coast Music Together at 5 p.m., with musical instruments to play and a free book for the younglings. Please attend. The event is free, as should all enriching community events be, if we lived in a better world. l

Collin Yeo (he/him) suggests that everyone should engage in the sublime summer ritual of listening to the bossa nova splendor of the music of Astrud Gilberto. May she rest in peace.

You Hurt My Feelings ’ White Lies

By Gabrielle Gopinath screens@northcoastjournal.com

YOU HURT MY FEELINGS. Sometime in the future, a forensic anthropologist trying to understand human society in the year 2023 will wonder how it felt to identify as “bougie” in a world on the brink of collapse. How did people dance on the edge of that abyss? Did they really sublimate the pervasive sense of impending doom by throwing themselves into the consumption of ever more rarified goods and services, optimizing relationships through the exquisitely judicious deployment of white lies? If they’re lucky, the interstellar scholars of the future will be able to watch Nicole Holofcener’s pointed social satire You Hurt My Feelings to assuage their curiosity.

Written and directed by Holofcener, this briskly plotted comedy depicts the mores of New York City’s creative-adjacent upper middle class. Its privileged, well-educated subjects chafe in aspirational limbo, squeezed in between the Total Access enjoyed by the 1 percent and the various forms of 24/7 struggle endured by everyone else. The film is good at delineating the everyday puncture wounds that egos are wont to sustain in this milieu, as well as the tiny perks and affordable luxuries that go into their repair. Really high-quality wool socks, for one — vegan, wicking, emollient and responsibly produced.

Brothers-in-law Mark (Arian Moayed), an actor, and Don (Tobias Menzies), a psychologist, are shopping for these very special socks at an outdoor apparel emporium when the crisis that jump-starts the plot goes down. Don’s wife Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a writer with a successful memoir under her belt, now struggling to get traction with her new fiction project. Thoughtful Don has supported her every step of the way, encouraging Beth to send the manuscript elsewhere when her agent remains less than enamored. But in a gentlemanly tete-a-tete before a spectacular array of the aforementioned socks, Don confides in his bro-in-law: The book’s a dud but he can’t tell Beth because (he accurately surmises) it will cause her to

“fall apart.” Both Beth and her sister Sara (Michaela Watkins) overhear this. Emotionally devastated, Beth retreats. The next day, when the foursome gets together for a hilariously awkward dinner, she discloses what she heard. Processing ensues. “It’s not a real lie,” Don explains. “I didn’t want to discourage you.” Sara counsels, “Beth, he loves you even if he doesn’t like your book.” But back at home, Sara wonders about the elisions that sustain her own relationship, asking Mark, “Would you ever lie to me about my designs, my taste?”

Everyone around Don and Beth turns out to be expert in crafting artfully composed “white lies,” not least to themselves. Everyone suffers from a sense that the work they do is not as fulfilling as they had hoped. In fact, most dream of quitting the fairly rarified forms of self-actualization that constitute their day-to-day. Mark gets publicly, humiliatingly fired from his role in a theater production, while interior decorator Sara must labor to intuit the design-related whims of her wealthier clients, swapping out one light fixture for another, only to have choice after choice gently ridiculed as basic. “The whole planet is melting and I’m just out here shopping for cashmere walls,” she observes.

Beth and Don’s 23-year-old son Elliott (Owen Teague) is working on his first play, when he’s not working as the manager of a local cannabis dispensary. When crisis eventually arrives, recriminations get aired. Recalling Beth’s enthusiastic cheerleading for his athletic efforts in grade school swim class, he wants to know: “Was I good? Or was my mom a liar?”

Don, who inadvertently instigated the breach of the white-lie regime in the first place, is hardly exempt from woe. Not only is he jonesing for an eye job, framing his peepers with his fingers and pulling to make the wrinkles in the bathroom mirror disappear (“I used to be young and hot!”), but he must also provide couples counseling for a pair of what might be the world’s worst clients. Jonathan and Carolyn

You Hurt My Feelings

(played with droll vitriol by real-life married couple David Cross and Amber Tamblyn) still hate one another after three years of counseling, and the contempt they parade for one another segues into solidarity only once the two unite in their disdain for Don.

It sometimes seems like Holofcener is probing her characters’ viscera with a sharp instrument, discovering the exact limits attached to their capacity for empathy and charity. But despite the director’s gimlet eye for her characters’ foibles, her narrative touch is a light and generous one. If none of these characters is as morally irreproachable as they would like to be, they are also not entirely as bad as they sometimes fear. That they come across this way has much to do with the presence of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, an effervescent fount of feeling around which the rest of the talented cast revolves. Showering her surroundings with light, warmth and characteristically daffy grace, Louis-Dreyfus makes us want to laugh not at, but with Beth as she undergoes her trials — keeping us humble, perhaps, by helping us to realize that there, but for the grace of God….

Astronomers glean information about distant objects from four types of energetic signals: electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light, radio waves and gamma waves); gravitational waves (subtle “ripples’ in spacetime, first detected in 2015); neutrinos (electrically neutral elementary particles having almost no mass); and cosmic rays (high energy particles, mostly protons, that, like neutrinos, travel at nearly the speed of light).

Being able to combine information from two or more of these in what’s called “multi-messenger astronomy” offers rich opportunities to learn much more about the sources of these signals than traditional “single messenger” astronomy allows. Recently, the new kid on the block, gravitational wave detection, came into its own with the successful deployment of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors in the U.S. (in Washington and Louisiana) and Italy’s Virgo (“Listening to the Universe with LIGO,” Oct. 26, 2017).

Aug. 17, 2017 was a red-letter day for multi-messenger astronomy, when the LIGO-Virgo system detected the collision of two dense neutron stars in a distant galaxy. (How dense? A sugar-cube’s worth of neutron star material weighs as much as Mount Everest.) That collision, dubbed GW170817, not only sent “gravity ripples” across 130 million light years of space, these ripples were accompanied by a wildly powerful burst of energetic electromagnetic waves, a so-called kilonova event, that arrived 1.7 seconds later and was detected by more than 70 earthand space-bound radio, optical, x-ray and gamma-ray telescopes.

These disparate single-source signals, gravity and electromagnetic, were a bonanza for astronomers, and dozens of papers were published the very day of the event on the arXiv website, where scientists can publish unreviewed papers. Of particular interest to theorists was information about so-called r-process elements, elements too heavy to be created by fusion in the cores of stars. For decades, astronomers have struggled to fully understand how most elements heavier than iron (including platinum in your car’s catalytic

converter, gallium in your smartphone and iodine in your thyroid gland) were created. Up to iron, the process has been known with some certainty since English astronomer Fred Hoyle proposed, in the mid-1900s, that as stars age, their original hydrogen nuclei fuse to form progressively heavier elements due to extreme pressures and temperatures in the stars’ cores. Beyond iron, regular stellar fusion doesn’t cut it. It takes more extreme events to create heavier elements, in particular r-process elements (where “r” stands for “rapid,” as in milliseconds).

Now, thanks to the multi-messenger information obtained from the GW170817 event, astronomers have confirmed that neutron star collisions can synthesize r-process elements. Take a look at the spectrum above, detected one and a half days after the event. Note the dip where the expected (dashed line) light curve deviates: that deviation is the signature of the r-process element strontium, the salts of which give us the brilliant reds of fireworks.

Collisions between neutron stars are probably not the only violent events that create r-process elements. We have limited evidence that mergers between black holes and neutron stars can also do the trick, as (perhaps) can some supernovae. But at this point in our knowledge, it seems colliding neutron stars produce most of the heavy r-process elements in the universe.

So now, when you’re asked (as I’m sure happens daily) where the gold in the ring on your finger came from, you can answer confidently, thanks to multi-messenger astronomy: “It was probably synthesized in the collision of two neutron stars.” l

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX DELINQUENCY AND IMPENDING DEFAULT

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3351, 3352

I, Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows:

That at close of business on June 30, 2023, by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 2022-23, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2022-23 shall be declared tax-defaulted.

That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien.

That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2023, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2023.

That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request, by Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707) 476-2450.

I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

Amy Christensen Humboldt County Tax Collector

Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 24th, 2023. Published in the North Coast Journal on June 1st, June 8th, and June 15th 2023.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL

PROPERTY

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362

Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell.

1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule.

2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2023, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector.

All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2023, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION

The Assessor’s Parcel/Assessment Number (APN/ASMT), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the Assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The Assessor’s maps and further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the Assessor’s office.

David Lloyd Jager

1955-2023

At 2 am on May 17, 2023 the world lost a wonderful, talented soul. David lloyd Jager (68) died in his sleep at his home in Eureka, CA. David was born in Eureka in 1955. He was the fifth child of Frank and Fredia Jager. He attended St. Bernard’s and graduated in 1973. Shortly after high school and encouraged by his good friend, Father Tom Devereaux, he entered the Catholic seminary at St. Mary’s in Kentucky and began his studies to become a Catholic priest. After two years he returned home convinced that the priesthood was not his calling. He attended the College of the Redwoods and briefly Humboldt State. He obtained his EMT certification and became a member of the Eureka volunteer fire department.

In the lated 1970’s he earned his commercial truck driver’s license and began his career as a long haul truck driver. He traveled all over the United States and had many stories to tell about the various cities and people he met in his travels. David was a certified scuba diver and always looked forward to his trips to the Gulf coast and Florida where in his off time from driving he could dive in the warm waters of those areas.

During his early teen years he was a proud member of Boy Scout Troop 54 and Explorer Post 54. During this time he enjoyed numerous backpacking trips into the Trinity Alps and Marble mountains.

In his youth David was an accomplished rock climber and mountaineer. He completed several difficult climbs in Yosemite, the Trinity Alps, the Sierra, and the Cascade mountains of Oregon. When home his practice area for climbing was Patrick’s Point State Park (Now Sue-Meg State Park). He and his brother pioneered a number of climbs in the park that are still being climbed today by a new generation of climbers. His assent of the Grand Teton in Wyoming was a proud moment in his climbing career.

David had Native American roots. He was a tribal member of the Citizen Band Potawatomi. His ancestry was the Bird Clan of the Degraff-Navarre families.

In his retirement he operated a lawn care business to keep active until his health failed. He was a caring person and donated his time and resources to many charities.

His brothers and sisters would like to give special thank you to Hospice of Humboldt, especially Robert, who cared for David in his last few days.

David was a lifelong bachelor and was predeceased by his father and mother as well as his younger brother Paul.

He is survived by his sisters and brothers. Dora Kaliamos, Patty Roberts, Dot Wentworth, Frank, Michael, and Adam Jager as well as his little dog “Max”

A memorial service will be held later this summer.
