The recent story about the Unangax̂ nigilax̂ that was built here on Wiyot ancestral lands and launched on the Sonoma
County shores of the Kashaya Pomo people leaves me filled with gratitude (“Launching Nigilax̂ ,” June 8), first, for writer Ruby Cayenne for covering the significance so well, and for the North Coast Journal for printing the story.
The building of this vessel was truly a community project from inception through the launch ceremony, and simply couldn’t have happened without the dedicated hearts and hands of so many people. Big thanks to the Ink People Center for the Arts, who we operate under and with, to the California Arts Council, GHD Foundation, Agnes Darnell-Larsen Foundation, the Ounalashka Corporation, and many generous local businesses and private donors for funding support. We also wish to acknowledge and thank the numerous volunteers who dedicated themselves to the hard work of building and sewing the vessel over the course of several weeks. Qagaasakuq — thank you to the Wiyot Tribe for giving us the blessing to hold this project here in Ferndale, to the Kashaya Pomo Tribe for welcoming the launch at Metini and to the many tribal communities in northern California and Alaska for taking part in this important moment.
Finally, we wish to thank Fort Ross State Park and the Fort Ross Conservancy for valuing and supporting this event.

Barry Evans, EurekaEditor:
Good job on “To Celebrate Our Sovereignty” about Ray Matz and the Yurok Tribe, which was published June 8. However, there is one statement in the article which I
believe is not true. Here’s that statement:
“The ruling paved the way for so much of what has followed, from other rulings upholding the tribe’s fishing rights to the 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 Yurok Tribe does not have a “traditional form of government” and, indeed, as far as anyone knows, never did have such an institution. The villages were politically independent. Like almost every other federal tribe (the Pit River Tribe is the only exception I know of), federal tribal govern-
ments are organized according to the U.S. federal model as prescribed in the federal Indian Reorganization and Self-Determination Acts.
What this means is that the federal government continues to dominate and control federal tribes, mainly via the control and doling out of federal funding. It also tells us that “tribal sovereignty” in the U.S. is, at best, a poor type of sovereignty, one not really worthy of the name. Ironically, the myth of tribal sovereignty is an integral
part of how the feds control tribal governments.
Federal tribes have and continue to help Indigenous Native peoples and their cultures survive. That is a very good thing. But they also are a tool the federal government uses to keep tribes within bounds demarcated by the federal government and federal law. And that’s why “tribal sovereignty” is a poor example of true sovereignty.

Cal Poly Humboldt will soon begin implementing recommendations from a Title IX audit in an effort to improve campus investigations into sexual assault and discrimination cases. A group of 10 students, faculty and staff are tasked with informing how recommendations should be fulfilled in their respective areas of campus. But on this team, students and faculty will have a minority voice, outnumbered by administrators three to one. Groups advocating for survivors and diversity and inclusion, meanwhile, won’t have a voice at all.
The campus’ Sexual Assault Prevention Committee is concerned that survivor-forward organizations and other diverse voices were left off the implementation team, as committee Co-Chair Maxwell Schnurer
recently expressed in a formal letter to the university’s Academic Senate.
“The choice to skip over the leadership of the Sexual Assault Prevention Committee, California Faculty Association, [Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion] and the cultural centers after repeated recommendations that these groups be included is a shame,” Schnurer said in a letter. “Although not invited to the table this time, we continue to work to prevent moments of harm in our community.”
The law firm Cozen O’Connor conducted a systemwide California State University- investigation into Title IX and came away with five core findings. The first is that the current infrastructure is

lacking, referring to understaffed offices and inadequate record-keeping systems. The second core finding is that prevention and education training required of all staff and students is not enough. Third, the audit found there is no consistent process for reporting, resolving, documenting or tracking “other conduct of concern,” with anything brought to a Title IX office’s attention that does not amount to a policy violation often left unaddressed. The fourth finding was a lack of accountability throughout the system, with no formal standards, processes for implementing systemwide policy, or quality control and assurance in place. The fifth key finding is a trust gap exists across all CSU campuses.
On Humboldt’s campus, this fifth finding bubbled into public view when the Academic Senate passed a resolution in support of survivors. The resolution charged that university President Tom Jackson Jr.’s comments during a fall welcome address last year that Title IX was designed to keep allegations of misconduct behind closed doors led to “additional harm and a feeling of distrust.” The Senate heard from faculty members who described a “culture of fear” and expressed fear of retaliation for speaking out. The resolution acknowledged those feelings of distrust “may lead survivors to choose not to report harm out of concern for retaliation or a belief that nothing would come from reporting.”
University Title IX Coordinator and implementation team lead David Hickcox said Humboldt’s campus is at an advantageous starting point to implement the findings.
Of the five major findings for the CSU, Hickcox said he believes the campus has work to do on the first three: infrastructure, prevention education and “conduct of other concern.” But the other two findings, a trust gap from the campus
community to administrators and a lack of accountability in formal resolutions, are issues to be solved at the CSU level, not on Cal Poly Humboldt’s campus, he said.
“Well, we increased our Title IX office from one to three [employees] back in 2020, and that’s something President Jackson did before Title IX was even in the news, and he gets very little credit for that, but he did it,” Hickcox said.
He explained the Chancellor’s Office recommended an increase in staffing in 2020 when the Title IX/Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Prevention office was operating under just one administrator.
When it comes to the makeup of the current implementation team, the CSU tasked Jackson, like his colleagues across the CSU system, with forming a team of students, faculty, staff stakeholders and university Title IX and DHR staff to apply Cozen O’Connor’s campus-specific recommendations.
“The implementation team was chosen to represent a cross-section of campus,” Hickcox said, noting the selection was based on finding representation from specific organizations and areas on campus and not necessarily choosing experts in the field. “We needed academic affairs and senate, human resources, someone from the president’s admin team, Associated Students, residence life and housing, enrollment management, athletics, Title IX and risk. Those were the big areas we needed representation, and we got them.”
The CSU did not require university presidents to form teams using this criteria, and implementation teams vary in size and makeup across the system. California State University at Bakersfield has just four members on its team, for example, while administrators make up half of Cal State East Bay’s. Several campuses assigned staff
from diversity centers and student aid programs, along with professors from relevant academic fields, like gender studies and psychology.
Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State East Bay included at least two students who were not affiliated with administrative duties like Associated Students, a student government that works to fund and operate campus programs, while its president also acts as the student representative on the university president’s advisory board.
When asked why Humboldt’s team has less student representation, Hickcox said it’s because students are hard to schedule around.
“Students tend to be the busiest of all of us,” he said. “With respect to scheduling, they tend not to be available between eight and five because they’ve got school, jobs and studying to do; and any time you’ve got more than two to three students, it gets really hard to schedule.”
Hickcox said the team intends to work with SAPC, Associated Students and the Academic Senate to brief the organizations on the implementation progress and field questions.
“I see SAPC as a peer organization with the Campus Implementation Team, and they’re going to inform our work going forward,” he said. “And they don’t have to be involved as a sitting member to do this work.”
The Title IX/DHR office is tasked with serving as an objective agency to investigate and resolve allegations of misconduct on campus. According to Amanda LeBlanc, the executive director of the North Coast Rape Crisis Team, which operates Cal Poly Humboldt’s Campus Advocate Team, the Title IX office’s objective position disallows it from taking a survivor-forward approach. But the implementation team is not held to the same objective standard, and other campuses included representation from campus survivor support centers, offices of diversity, equity and inclusion, and often more than one faculty member.
“Title IX cannot be survivor-centered — they have to be neutral,” LeBlanc said. However, she added, “You can’t change culture without understanding harm. One of the roles of survivor advocacy organizations is to have that lens and bring it into conversations. When you don’t have the partnership of allies and survivors in the room when you’re talking about justice or accountability for the perpetrators, that lens tends to get lost.”

After community members recently pushed the Arcata City Council to do more to respond to a spate of vandalism at El Jardin Santuario, a public garden and safe space for immigrants and the BIPOC community, the Arcata police Department issued a press release June 13 saying it has classified the attacks as hate crimes.
Community members recently gathered in El Jardin Santuario to prepare signs and letters to bring to the Arcata City Council — a call to action in response to another attack on the garden in the first week of June. Since July of 2022, the garden’s sign has been repeatedly vandalized, its crops cut down, cameras stolen and gates locked.
Brenda Perez, executive director of Centro Del Pueblo, led concerned neighbors and volunteers to the Arcata City Hall. During a recent city council meeting’s public comment period, she demanded action. She said the continued attacks reflect a failure of local government and police to uphold their commitments to diverse communities. In 2017, the council declared Arcata a sanctuary city. In doing so, she said, Arcata committed to protecting its migrant communities.
“This cannot be called a sanctuary city with these hate crimes,” Perez said in public comment. “We are here to demand a stop to the hate crimes, [there’s] been more than 12, and its unsustainable, unbearable … I cannot listen to more sorrys from you or the police department. I need action.”
In the first attack, on July 22, 2022, the garden’s sign was painted black with the words “America USA” scrawled across it.

Once in August and again in October, vandals cut down young corn and left it in the garden. In December, the garden gate, left open for the community, was chained and locked. The locking then recurred repeatedly through the following months. A garden kiosk hosting flyers for community events was pushed down in December. Since April, vandals have attempted to steal the cameras and security lights three times, succeeding twice.
Carlos Holguin, a garden volunteer, spoke at the meeting, saying the consistent attacks have brought on a feeling of fear for himself and the community.
“As much as we would like to pretend Arcata is a safe place, sometimes it isn’t, and that’s especially true for people like me, people like my friends here,” Holguin said to the city council. “How much longer do we have to wait? What else has to happen before it’s addressed? What if the vandalism is not the place where it ends, but the place where it begins?”
Perez and other community members called for public support from the Arcata City Council. She invited council members to help clean the vandalized signs during the next volunteer day.
“I need more steps to know they are allies. It’s symbolic for them to come to clean the mess, to discuss it publicly, to bring awareness,” Perez said. “I’m asking them to have a long-term vision of Arcata without the hate crimes.”
Perez has also asked neighbors of the garden to form a community watch, especially at night, when the attacks occurred.
Since the meeting, Arcata City Council members unanimously voted to allocate $5,000 to El Jardin Santuario, which will be part of the budget for the upcoming year.
Fatal Shooting: The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the fatal shooting of 51-year-old Rico Johnson in Swains Flat on June 9 but believes the killing may have been in self-defense. No arrests have been made in the case, which remains under investigation. POSTED 06.12.23
Mayor Sarah Schaefer says she’s committed to helping Centro Del Pueblo beyond financial support.
“We unanimously voted to allocate $5,000 to Centro del Pueblo to use to revamp their security system and provide whatever physical safety protocols could help,” Schaefer says. “I want to make myself available to be able to meet with her and other leaders to hear what they think will work to improve the safety of the garden and how we can work together beyond a monetary contribution.”
Though Schafer cannot make the next volunteer day, other council members plan to attend. Councilmember Stacy Atkins-Salazar says she will be there to work, listen and stand in solidarity.

people in leadership, it is both our privilege and our responsibility to support our most vulnerable community members.”
APD Sgt. Chris Ortega says investigating and deterring hate crimes is of high priority for the department but adds El Jardin Santuario organizers rejected APD’s offers to park a marked patrol car overnight or increase police presence and surveillance at the garden.
“APD is responsive to the needs and comfort level of all victims of crime when interacting with the police,” Ortega says. “Garden organizers declined proactive investigative measures in the form of physical and video surveillance and monitoring, as this may be too intrusive for some of the users of their space. They also declined high visibility deterrents such as posting a marked patrol car overnight for the same reasons.”
No suspect or person of interest has been identified in the case. APD asks anyone with information to contact detective Victoria Johnson at (707) 8222428 or to leave a tip on the department’s anonymous tip line at (707) 825-2588.

It was at a meeting in mid-April when things came to a head in Ferndale. For months, some residents had been pushing the Ferndale City Council to pass an anti-hate resolution, a statement of community values declaring that everyone is welcome in the Cream City, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion or ethnicity, and condemning bigotry in all forms.
Dozens of cities and counties throughout the country have passed similar resolutions but, by the time Ferndale’s council members took their seats on the small stage at the far end of the Town Hall on Main Street before an unusually large audience on April 19, there were indications the council’s majority was inclined to go another route.
For months, Mayor Randy Cady had appeared reluctant to put the issue for discussion but finally had — kind of — passing over a draft resolution penned by Councilmember Skip Jorgensen to agendize his own statement on a “desire for respect and inclusion in public discourse.”
The April 19 meeting got off to a fairly typical start, with the council leading those present in the pledge of allegiance, followed by a presentation from the Humboldt Waste Management Authority. Then came Cady’s statement, in which he said he didn’t feel it “appropriate for the city council to condemn one viewpoint or support another viewpoint” but said he hoped Ferndale’s citizens would prioritize “kindness, inclusion and respect” toward neighbors and visitors
alike. After Jorgensen and Councilmember Jennifer Fisk Becker indicated they felt that didn’t go far enough and asked that Jorgensen’s draft resolution and a pared down “kindness resolution” penned by Fisk Becker be brought back at a special meeting for discussion, the matter was opened for public comment.
What followed was ugly.
Fourteen speakers then addressed the council, all passionately, with five supporting moving forward with a resolution and nine vehemently opposed.
Those in favor of the resolution said it would be a powerful message — in Ferndale and beyond — that the Cream City would aspire to treat people with kindness and be welcoming of everyone . Supporters also dismissed fears that the nonbinding resolution would somehow
infringe on religious or free speech protections as “gaslighting.”
But those opposed objected on multiple fronts, with some saying it was not the place of government to weigh in on such issues, that the resolution was an attempt to silence a church’s free speech or parents’ rights to voice concerns about all-ages drag shows . Others said it simply would do little to change people’s feelings and might draw other people forward looking for resolutions of support to the point the council would have time for little else. Some of the comments were overtly political — referring to proponents of such a resolution and LGBTQ support groups as “activist groups” and “leftists” fighting for “man-

ufactured civil rights” — while others were deeply steeped in religion . On e woman stood up for hate, saying that while it’s unpopular, God says there is a time to hate, going on to label members of the LGBTQ+ community as “sexual immoral deviants” who are “evil people.”
A handful of those who opposed the resolution expressed a deep fear of all-ages drag shows, saying they believe the local “pride community ” and the shows, specifically, are attempting to sexualize, “indoctrinate” and “groom” children. (It should be noted there is absolutely no proof of such a claim, and members of the LGBTQ+ community have said the all-ages shows are not overtly sexual and offer a supportive space for youth grappling with gender and sexual identity, while local police and the district attorney have said they are unaware of any cases in which someone used a drag show or LGBTQ+ organization to victimize a child.)
One man from Eureka seemed to take his talking points from the outermost extremes of internet memes, offering the council a picture of “a transgender holding an AR-15” with a message about killing “Christ cubs.” He then alleged that
all-ages drag shows include “devil horns” and “dildos.”
“I know a lot of you guys, you don’t do internet, and I don’t think you know what’s going on,” he said. “You gotta’ take a look at what’s really going on with this pride community and what they’re doing to our kids. It’s unacceptable.”
A McKinleyville resident and co-founder of a fringe local website ranted to the council about “leftists” trying to “cancel” good parents by calling them “hateful bigots that call people faggots,” saying he’s just a concerned father trying to raise his sons with his wife, “who was actually born a girl and is a real woman.”
Rousing applause followed his comments, as well as those of all others who spoke in opposition of a resolution. At no point did Cady ask for order or respectful dialogue.
Some who attended the meeting supporting an anti-hate or inclusion resolution left feeling deeply shaken. A woman who identified herself as Alice was one of the last to address the council that night, saying she hadn’t planned on speaking but felt compelled to do so. She said she’d lived in Ferndale most

TyrelBramwell, the pastor at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, stands at the center of Ferndale’s controversy. It was his words on the church marquee back in 2021 — “Hurt by LGBTQ Culture? Healing here ” — that spurred initial calls for an anti-hate resolution and the organization of the city’s first Pride march, and it was his marquee’s warning back in January that urged residents to “beware” of an all-ages drag show, bringing safety concerns that caused the show’s organizers to cancel it, renewing calls for a resolution.
It’s a position Bramwell seems to relish.
Addressing the council on April 19, he warned the council that passing an anti-hate resolution would go against God’s authority to determine what is and isn’t sin.
“Going against his authority and becoming a terrorist to Christians in support of another group is evil in all manners of the word,” he said.
of her life, having left after high school, then returned.
“I went to Ferndale High School in 1986 and this is what it was like,” she said looking around the room in apparent dismay, her voice cracking with emotion. “This is what drove me from this town that long ago. I wasn’t gay, I was just a weird kid, and I underwent so much torment that I wanted to kill myself. … I’m sorry, I wasn’t intending to speak but it’s scary to me that this is even an issue.”
A few days later — at 10 a.m. on April 22, a Saturday — Ferndale posted notice of a special meeting to be held at 3:30 p.m. on April 25 with the resolution as the single agenda item. It’s unclear
exactly why, but not a single proponent of the resolution showed up at the special meeting to address the council, which voted 3-2, with Fisk Becker and Jorgensen dissenting, to pass a motion from Councilmember Phillip Ostler that the council “do nothing.”
“In my life, this is either America or it’s not, there’s a First Amendment, or there’s not,” Ostler said, adding he felt a resolution was “not the way to go about this.”
Two months later, amid a month of countywide Pride events, Lost Coast Pride is planning a June 25 march down Ferndale’s Main Street. Organizers are confident it will the biggest one yet.
Down the street, St. Mark’s marquee had been changed that night to read: “City to discuss affirming child abuse 6 p.m. Wednesday.”
Bramwell has repeatedly maintained that he is just doing his job as a pastor for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, which believes the Bible teaches homosexual behavior is contrary to God’s word and will and thus a sin. But he hasn’t always seemed so fixated on the issue.
Originally from a rural Wyoming county of about 42,000 people, Bramwell received a degree in religious studies from Concordia University before getting a Masters of Divinity from Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne,

Indiana, according to media reports. Before arriving in Ferndale, he served as the pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Murray, Utah, and before that, at California’s Our Savior Lutheran Church in Chester. Members of the congregations at both churches told the Journal they can’t remember him being outspoken on LGBTQ+ issues in his time there.
Ferndale residents, meanwhile, say Bramwell appeared mild mannered upon his arrival in the city. The church marquee posted simple holiday greetings or times for worship services but little else through his first few years, they say, and Bramwell came across as friendly.
In early 2020, Bramwell, already a published author of multiple books, seems to have taken some steps to extend his reach from St. Mark’s small congregation. He started a YouTube video series titled “Alone Together,” in which he interviewed pastors of other churches and took over hosting duties of the national Lutheran radio show
“Cross Defense” after its former host fell ill with COVID-19.
As Bramwell’s platforms increased, his rhetoric seems to have grown more antagonistic. After the St. Mark’s marquee generated controversy with the “Hurt by LGBTQ+ Culture” message in June of 2021, he soon began updating the sign weekly, using it as a kind of local, one-way Twitter feed , proselytizing in 40 or so characters or less , weighing in on everything from the Black Lives Matter movement to abortion, but often coming back to the LGBTQ+ community, especially as national efforts to legislatively target trans communities and demonize drag have increased.
It seems noteworthy that while the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod includes everything from alcohol abuse and gambling to premarital sex and greed to be sins, and Humboldt County is awash in child trauma and abuse, Bramwell has focused so intently on what he deems the sins of a specific community.
Continued from previous page
Multiple Ferndale residents interviewed by the Journal say Bramwell left town for a period around 2019 or 2020 and came back with a more aggressive approach to running his church.
“Something motivated a different tactic,” says Pete Bansen, a dairy farmer who’s lived in town for 45 years. “When he came back, he was a really changed man. People don’t get motivated to be, basically, mean to other folks for nothing. There’s some motivation that I don’t think we understand.”
Whatever the reason, Bansen says the change seems to have drawn new members to St. Mark’s from outside of Ferndale.
“He’s attracting a radicalized element from across the bridge,” Bansen says, noting that many of the most outspoken voices on the anti-hate resolution issue were members of Bramwell’s congregation who do not live in town.
And Bramwell has clearly embraced his new role as Ferndale’s antagonist. If you visit his website, you’ll find the home page now sells a t-shirt bearing his likeness but in blue-haired drag under the slogan “Unashamed of the Gospel.” (Bramwell has said the image was used by someone to promote a local LGBTQ+ organization’s event, but the event’s organizers say they did not create it and had not seen it until Bramwell posted it online. It’s also worth noting that Journal was unable to find the original image that was altered to depict Bramwell in drag in online searches.) Wherever the image originated, Bramwell is now selling the t-shirts for $20 apiece and apparently wants them to be the first thing people see when visiting his website.

“It’s going to be bigger than last year,” Rivera says, noting that in the face of increasing hostile rhetoric nationally and locally, Humboldt County is brimming with Pride events this month, held from Arcata to Garberville and seemingly everywhere between. “Their words are having the opposite effect of what they want. So they can keep it up all they want to. It’s just getting more and more people to come out and say, ‘Enough is enough.’”
Ride” from Arcata (leaving the Safeway parking lot at 11 a.m.) to Fortuna that will end with a picnic in Rohnert Park. The following day, the Pride March will start at the Old Steeple (246 Berding St. in Ferndale) at noon, with participants walking past St. Mark’s before turning on Main Street, which will be blocked off to traffic, and walking back up to the community center for a celebration.
Rivera says the march itself is a protest — he wants people to bring signs and flags and not “spew hate,” but stand up for themselves — while the event that follows will be a celebration of queer joy. (Rivera says he’s still looking for volunteers to help with cleanup and someone with a pickup truck to transport a barbecue, and folks can email him at Humboldtspride@gmail.com to help.) He encourages anyone who would like to show support buy may not feel comfortable protesting to simply come watch — maybe even bring a lawn chair to put along Main Street — and show up in solidarity.

While the conversation in Ferndale has been downright ugly at times, Rivera says he also feels a lot of support, saying
he recently went around to ask businesses along the march route to see if they’d be willing to “put something rainbow up in their windows to let folks know they are welcome to come in” and many agreed.
Bansen says he will be there for the Pride march, as he was last year, saying he supports “anybody’s right to be whatever they need to be.” He says he was disappointed by the council’s failure to pass the resolution. “I didn’t think it was a heavy lift,” he says , adding he believes in Ferndale and its residents.
“I know it’s going to turn out positive because regressive forces never prevail,” he says. “They can surge, but eventually progress is inevitable. And we’re making slow but steady progress.”
Rivera moved to Ferndale initially in 2000 and stayed a couple of years, then returned in 2020. Rivera, who says he came to Ferndale as a kid with his mom as they tried to escape the inland heat, says he’s always wanted to live in the Victorian Village.
“We moved back here, my wife and I, because this is the home of my heart,” he says.
He bristles at the notion the council’s inaction on the anti-hate resolution, the rhetoric coming from St. Mark’s pastor and congregation or the failure of allies to show up in support before the council would change that. He says that the inclusion resolution was even taken up by the council is progress, noting the vote was close and some council seats are coming up for election next year.
“I walk this town unapologetically because I’m a citizen here,” he says. “I belong here. It doesn’t matter what they think. I spend my money here. And I will help make changes here.” l

It was like old times on the plaza during the June 10 Arcata Bay Oyster Festival: friends hugging and balancing topped up beers, lines for the food vendors lining the sidewalks and bands playing the main stage for an audience of dancers and picnickers in the grass. The official head count isn’t in yet but, by all accounts, the crowds returned to mill about, nibbling from paper boats of oysters and barbecue in the sun. The Shuck and Swallow contestants and the oyster callers were back, too.
The oyster competition was also back, with judges huddled over score sheets around a table in the former Rita’s just off the plaza. Meredith Matthews, who headed up the proceedings, wore a rhinestone tiara as she shuttled a wooden tray of raw oysters, a split pineapple top fountaining from its center. The Locavore and Best Cooked Oyster awards went to Nori, and Manzanilla Kitchen took Best Raw Oyster. But for the second year in a row, Best in Show went not to a restaurant with a booth on the plaza, but to David Orluck, an amateur chef working out of nearby Septentrio Winery.
Last year, when chefs gathered at Septentrio to compete with cooked and raw oysters — all pros but him, since one other home cook dropped out. “I realized I was the only person by
myself with my kitchen gear that I brought from home.” Nevertheless, he won the Dave Griswald Best Overall Oyster with his Umami Tsunami, a shooter with ponzu and mirin sauce with tobiko, quail egg, sriracha, sesame seeds and microgreens. This year, he was the lone amateur again, allowed to defend his title after partnering with Septentrio to cook at the winery and use refrigeration and other equipment from the Nosh food truck. His winning entry on Saturday, the Watermelon Sugar, was a lavish affair, with North Bay Shellfish Pacific oysters set atop purple urchins he’d harvested on Trinidad Beach and garnished with basil watermelon mignonette, seaweed-based Caviart and uni.
Orluck, a senior environmental analyst for Humboldt County, describes his day job as “kind of like a resident biologist,” monitoring endangered species and the impacts of projects like trails, among other duties. He says he’s been into cooking since childhood, but got into hunting and fishing after moving to Humboldt in 2010. The urchin gathering isn’t a one-off for him, and he’s always exploring new ways to cook the fish and game he brings home. Cooking “wild to table is a passion of mine,” he says. “There’s more aspects to it than your
grandfather overcooking a hunk of deer.”
Never having taken a culinary class, Orluck says he cooks by looking through recipes and following his own instincts, using friends as “guinea pigs” to test the results. For the Watermelon Sugar, he hosted six friends and served them seven experiments. He combined two of those for his final entry.
There was some hesitation about letting Orluck compete at first, as Arcata Main Street was trying to pull more vendors into the competition, which has seen declining entrants in recent years. “I didn’t want to be a vendor and pay the fees … but I wanted to compete and show what I’ve got.” But as the day drew near, only half a dozen chefs were in the game and Orluck got the go ahead. He prepped his contest entries at the winery and spent the rest of the time shucking and selling “down version” oysters to patrons: a raw with pineapple mango salsa and a grilled one w/chimichurri and cured duck egg yolk.
Pre-pandemic, competing chefs had to enter the same oyster they were serving on the plaza, which somewhat limited the time and ingredients they could practically put into a dish. Expensive and painstaking to prep uni, for example, could price you out of selling enough to turn a profit and leave customers waiting in line for long stretches. Add the $600 booth fee and luxurious ingredients are an even bigger reach.
Matthews says she’s in favor of the contest offering “a chance for these chefs to really go for it and be super creative.” She acknowledges that “selling
the same ones would be time consuming and cost prohibitive, but I can certainly see the allure of the customer getting a chance to taste that special oyster.” During her tenure over the past three years, tasting all the winners wasn’t an option. Last year, only a couple entrants were selling anything at the festival. “So I do think the rules probably need to be updated.”
Allowing professional chefs to compete with more elaborate dishes than they’re selling — perhaps in indoor kitchens and maybe even not while they’re simultaneously trying to feed hundreds of people — could certainly broaden their creative options.
It could also dull Orluck’s significant advantage. But he’s not concerned. “This is just kind of a hobby, it’s not gonna be a career path for me,” he says, though he is talking with Septentrio about possible pop-up events and Oyster Fest 2024. But as he has no food business to promote, vending on the plaza isn’t worth “the fees and the stress of breaking even.” Getting the oysters to the judges intact is stress enough.
“Walking to Rita’s was the most nerve-wracking part,” he says with a chuckle. “It could be all over with one step.” l

Likely to become a classic, Greg King’s first solo book The Ghost Forest is aptly titled — a mustread that deftly chronicles how 96 percent of California’s old growth redwood forests fell to the saw.
The award-winning journalist begins his complex, multi-generational narrative with his own entry into environmental activism. In 1986, while researching logging for The Paper in his hometown of Guerneville, King visits Humboldt County, meets forest defender Darryl Cherney, and sees clearcuts first-hand. The year before, Charles Hurwitz, the new owner of Pacific Lumber, had completed a hostile takeover of the company, tripling the liquidation of its old growth. Appalled, King joins Earth First! and becomes a forest defender, participating in protests, tree sits and a failed attempt to hang a banner from the Golden Gate Bridge. That story ends bittersweetly: Ultimately the state and federal governments buy and protect Headwaters Forest, but fellow activist Judi Bari and Cherney fall victim to a car bombing and then, in a bizarre twist, are framed by the Oakland Police and the FBI for supposedly transporting the very bomb meant to kill them. Bari and Cherney successfully sue both entities, but no one is ever caught and charged for the crime, and Bari dies of breast cancer before the case is resolved.
King mirrors that narrative with the history of how wealthy financiers fraudulently obtained vast tracts of old growth redwood all over Northern California by abusing a federal homesteading law, allowing public lands to flow into private hands at minimal cost. King then tells how government became a cheerleader for clear cutting, creating laws to limit destructive logging practices but then turning a blind eye to environmental devastation. The California Department of Forestry (CDF), established in 1973, would approve almost any Timber Harvest Plan (THP) regardless of how it violated the law; tasked with protecting the environment, CDF failed to do so until it was sued by the Environmental Protection and Information
Center (EPIC). In a series of landmark judgments that blocking THPs, enough political pressure was finally exerted to force CDF to enforce the Endangered Species Act. Ultimately Hurwitz was prevented from legally logging in the Headwaters.
King parallels the modern-day history of the Timber Wars with the early-20th century history of how a handful of wealthy white industrialists responded to the threat of environmental activism. Gathering at the Bohemian Grove in 1917, they created one of the first greenwashing organizations, Save the Redwoods League, which for decades helped timber companies liquidate old growth forests, buy timberland at inflated prices, and consistently lobby against e orts to create large parks to protect old growth. Even then, the league would purchase only small acreages of redwoods — often second growth façades to shield motorists from clear cuts. As if the false public face of environmental defense wasn’t bad enough, King also describes how the organization’s “progressive” leadership was tainted by eugenicists who applauded the Nazi regime for the Holocaust. In fact, one of the League’s ardent financial supporters, Charles M. Goethe, established the Eugenics Society of Northern California. Over a period of 40 years, this organization led to more than 20,000 people in California being forcefully sterilized, many unknowingly.
The book is not all tragedy, however. King tells how the Sierra Club successfully lobbied for the creation of Redwood National Park, overcoming the roadblocks that Save the Redwoods League put in its way. Decades later, this action was echoed in the creation of the Headwaters Reserve, when the state and federal governments purchased 7,472 acres to protect it for perpetuity. Still, King argues these victories
were Pyrrhic: Much more old growth could have been saved in the Redwood Creek watershed when Redwood National Park was established, and when the Headwaters Reserve was purchased, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, influenced by Save the Redwoods, wound up a terrible negotiator. The state and federal governments ultimately paid Charles Hurwitz about 10 times what the forest was worth.
In considering how California’s old growth redwood forests were liquidated due to greed, corruption, influence peddling, violence and lies, King doesn’t shy away from the tragedy of the destruction. But wielding sharp prose, essential research skills and an unblinking eye for both the horror of clear-cutting and the indescribable beauty of what remains, he also presents us with numerous people who embody courage, wisdom and grace in fighting against such destructive and corrupting influences. And he stands among them. For anyone concerned with the environment and its defense, this book is an essential read.

Gale-force north winds in June are historically common along the North Coast. And this year is certainly no exception. Following four fishable days last week, the north winds have returned in force and look to stick around through the weekend. The good news is when the boats can slip out during these short windows, they are finding some really good fishing. Both Pacific halibut and rockfish have been coming over the rails at a very high clip. With new rockfish regulations in affect for the Southern and Northern Management areas, anglers are able to fish waters that have been off limits for many years. The Pacific halibut fishery continues to grow in popularity as ports where the effort was typically low, are now tapping into the seemingly abundant resource. Fort Bragg and Crescent City are two of the ports where the halibut fishery has increased in popularity. And with that popularity, we’ve seen an increase in the catch rates. Proof of this lies in the quota numbers. At this time last year, only 3,500 pounds had been harvested. This year, as of May 29, 7,249 pounds have been harvested towards a 39,520-pound quota. Windy conditions could be a blessing as it looks like the only way to keep the fishery from an early closure.
The Eureka fleet were finally able to get back to fishing last week following some wind and rough seas. With calm conditions through Saturday, boats were able to head south to the cape for rockfish and spend quality time on the halibut grounds. Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing reports the Pacific halibut bite was good, but never wide-open. “There were quite a few days where we had to wait out the tide change, not getting any bites until well after noon,” said Klassen. “But when they came, they came quick. A few days we limited the boat to 40 minutes once they decided to bite.
Most of the action remains straight out in 270 to 285 feet. There are some nice fish around, but we’re also seeing some small 6- to 8-pounders. I made just one trip to the Cape and the bite wasn’t red-hot, but we did get limits of rockfish. The variety was incredible, we had about 15 different types of rockfish.”
Trinidad
According to Tony Sepulveda of Shellback Sport Fishing, it’s been a really good week of fishing out of Trinidad. “Flat weather to start the week gave way to big seas, but was very fishable later in the week,” said Sepulveda. “We were able to run every day and produce limits. In general, the grade of pacific halibut has been amazing this year. Lots of fish in the 30-50-pound range with some bigger. Monday, we faltered a bit in that regard with a smaller limit of 8- to 15-pound halibut and rockfish to go with it. We did three remote waters rockfish runs this week with limits of lingcod to 34 pounds and impressive limits of rockfish. Swimbaits and jigs produced the best results.”
According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, not much has changed at the Cove. “Limits of rockfish are still coming quickly, but it’s a struggle to get one lingcod per rod,” said Mitchell. “We’ve fished up at Rodgers Break a couple times and outside the Hat. Same story both places. The Halibut bite has been decent for those willing to put in the time up at Gorda when weather permits. Crabbing remains excellent, we’re still getting limits every day.”
According to Kevin Hooper of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, not much has
changed this week. He said, “When the boats can get out, the Pacific halibut bite is still going strong and quite a few are being caught daily. Most of the boats are fishing near the South Reef in 250 to 280 feet of water. The rockfish bite is excellent per usual at both of the reefs and the Sisters. The redtails are biting too, with Kellogg beach being the top spot. There’s been a few California halibut caught along South Beach by boats trolling anchovies.”
Ocean salmon season opens Saturday out of Brookings reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. He said, “Hatchery coho may be kept June 17 to Aug. 31. A strong run of hatchery coho is expected, and Brookings generally experiences its best fishing in late June and early July. Windy weather could limit success for the opener, however, as coho are generally caught close to the surface, but over deep water 3 to 8 miles offshore. Pacific halibut limits also increased to two fish a day in Oregon on Monday. Halibut fishing improved out of Brookings last week before rougher conditions returned on Sunday.”

One of the reasons I treasure spending time in the redwoods is that “in the forest I do not feel small,” as I wrote last year in the title of a poem. Rather, I am encouraged to take up space, expand my reach. As I hike on the trail, I explore trees’ territory and also my inner space, examining my thoughts, listening for echoes.
On the Sunday after Mother’s Day, my friend Lissa and I planned a hike in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. I hadn’t been there for several months and was eager to experience it after the recent rain-rich months. We drove to the park in a heavy drizzle, which stayed with us as we started hiking.
Entering the redwood forest brought a distinct softening of the light, and the
canopy broke rain’s fall, while amplifying the gentle symphony of water dripping, trickling. In the penumbra, ferns and foliage glittered in an array of vibrant, happyit-rained-a-lot shades of green.
I realized I had missed the ancient forest, the reassuring stance of the redwoods, the statement they make just by having been in the same spot for centuries, growing, withstanding windstorms, surviving lightning-sparked fire.
There are many options for hiking in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park (for suggestions, I usually consult the Redwood Hikes site redwoodhikes.com). As I had envisioned blooming Pacific rhododendrons, the eponymous trail was an obvious choice. We saw none of the puffs of pink petals gracing the green environment of the forest like aerial embroidery. On the other hand, we saw plenty of late blooming western trillium, their bright white flowers lighting up the understory.
The soft ground of the redwood forest is a pleasure for the feet (though care must be taken when stepping on roots or fallen branches as they become slippery when wet).
You may have heard the term “forest bathing,” a translation of the Japanese shinrin-yoku, an expression meaning to bathe in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses. While movement is not required in forest bathing, that is how I prefer to immerse myself in the forest atmosphere. I may be walking and talking, but my senses are on alert, taking in not just the
sights but also the soothing trickling of water, the smell of freshly misted vegetation, which I can almost taste, like recently harvested greens from the farmers market.
One thing I like to touch occasionally is the surface of a redwood branch broken open, as if through my fingertips, I could still sense the tall tree’s essence. While I didn’t touch anything else, often wet twigs brushed my face, leaving behind their cargo of cool drops, giving me a gentle leaf facial.
On our way back, we walked on the Foothill Trail, which crosses the Big Tree area. I like the colorful signage there: arrows pointing in various directions indicating that, besides the one people come to admire, there are big trees all around. Ancient and patient, they invite us to set aside details like their height in favor of standing in their presence and let their grandeur fill us with contentment.
A hike among old growth redwoods helps us put things and ourselves in perspective, invites us to rediscover the sense of wonder about nature’s spectacular ways, tall and small. I plan to go back soon to see rhododendrons and red clintonia in bloom. If I miss them, there will always be shades of vivid green in which to let my senses swim.
An additional reason to visit a state park soon is the second edition of California State Parks Week, June 14-18. There are special events scheduled locally and throughout the state. Check the dedicated website castateparksweek.org or savetheredwoods.org, which lists events in the redwoods. l
On April 22, the Ferndale City Council voted against a proposed kindness resolution, the scaled back version of an earlier anti-hate resolution.
Giraffe: The next item is the proposed Anti-Shit-Throwing Resolution. This is unrelated to the incident by the ice cream cart and not intended to assign blame. Its authors, some of whom reside within hucking distance of the primate habitat, would simply like to make a non-binding community statement in opposition to the hurling of feces at zoo visitors and other residents. I myself don’t believe it’s appropriate for the council to condemn some viewpoints or support others, like whether we should throw feces. We’ll now begin public comment.
Llama: Good evening. I don’t see why we’re having this conversation. In all my years in the petting zoo, I’ve never seen anyone throw manure. We have hooves; it’s just not possible. The very suggestion is offensive. [Spits directly onto microphone.] And this resolution had better not restrict spitting. [Spits again.]
Giraffe: Thank you. To clarify, spitting is not in the resolution, which we handed out earlier … and I see some of you have already eaten your copies. Next.
Howler Monkey: Hello, yes. [Forty seconds of guttural roaring.] Those of you familiar with my blog, my podcast, my newsletter and my near constant yelling already know I am against this Anti-Shit-Throwing Resolution. Firstly, this zoo is already a safe, welcoming and hygienic establishment and I have never heard a complaint above the sound of my
own deafening and belch-like growling. Secondly, this is an attack on me and my fellow primates, singled out and persecuted once again. [More guttural roaring.] Finally, some zoo attendees, particularly children, are absolutely begging to get tagged with a fresh turd. Waving their popsicles, crying, then crying more when you land one on their ear. Them and the Capybara. We’re all thinking it.
Penguin: Hi, yes. We don’t want to single anyone out here and we don’t want to seem negative. Especially regarding the primates, who have the right to their beliefs. And their personality issues. “Anti” feels negative. What if we went with “pronot-throwing-shit?”
Giraffe: Reasonable. We’re now considering a Pro-Not-Throwing-Shit Resolution. Next speaker.
Chimpanzee: Listen —
Giraffe: There’s no smoking.
Chimpanzee: Fine. [Stubs out cigarette.] I’ve been here since most of you were a twinkle in the eye of the perv zookeeper trying to get your parents to mate. I threw my feces at him and when he retired, I threw feces at his replacement. And I’ll throw feces at the next one. It’s free speech and I refuse to be censored. That’s all.
Capybara: If I may, this resolution doesn’t restrict anyone’s — ah! [Struck by what appears to be fecal matter.]
[Roaring and ear-splitting eee-eee sounds.]
Giraffe: I’m sorry, you cannot speak covered in filth.
Capybara: OK, but I’m right next to the primate exhibit and this happens all the —
Giraffe: Let’s not point fingers. We have standards of decorum and civility. Please make yourself presentable before addressing the council. Tiger, you have the mic.
Tiger: First, let me say, I’m an ally. But all the complaining about shit slinging isn’t helping zoo revenue or my chances at a larger enclosure, and this resolution is creating more turmoil. We need to get the kids and the oversized rodents to stop getting hit with shit. Like, the kids could just stay in the petting zoo. And the Capybara could crouch behind the water trough at the far end of its habitat until sundown, like they used to. We need to take the whole community into consideration instead of asking those of us not currently being pelted with crap to take a stand and possibly get crap thrown at us in retaliation. I recommend all prey animals and soft, fleshy children avoid drawing attention in the first place because you’re basically asking to be lunch. Or to be hit with crap. Thank you.
Pygmy Marmoset Monkey: [Climbs mic stand, flicks tiny bead of crap at Capybara, scurries away.]
Capybara: Are you just going to let him —
Giraffe: Look at that little guy. So tiny! Next speaker.
Penguin: It seems like we’ve still got some pushback on the Pro-Not-ThrowingShit Resolution as divisive. And by pushback, I mean some of the feces that hit the Capybara whizzed past pretty close to me. How about a Kindness Resolution?
Giraffe: Yeah. Sure. We’re now looking at a Kindness Resolution.
Baboon: I would like to address the
issue of so-called kindness. Is it kind when those of us in the habitat by the ice cream cart are accused of throwing our own filth at strangers? What about when we’re hit with a ricochet? I don’t see anyone proposing resolutions to be kind to us. Has anyone considered the Capybara might be the one pitching shit at us? At himself? The fact that this very resolution might land the kindness police at his enclosure for his unkind anti-shit-throwing comments? Why is a rodent so freakishly big anyway? It’s the size of a boar. What the hell? It makes me want to throw my feces, honestly.
Giraffe: You’ve given us a lot to think about. He is freakishly large for a rodent. I think we can agree as a community — except for the big, weird rat — that the Kindness Resolution is a no-go. I appreciate everyone’s input and urge you to come back next week, when we discuss the Anti-Giant-Rat Resolution. Thank you.

As a music-obsessed teen in the late-1990s, I often found myself at odds with prevailing sensibilities, an alienating experience that has actually helped me over the years. How? Well, to paraphrase my cousin Jet, the secret of eternal relevance is a withering distrust of most current popular culture. So while some of my peers were sporting JNCOs and listening to Limp Bizkit and Sublime, I was perfecting my seasonal Kate Bush theory while wearing a sleeveless, thrift store Black Sabbath shirt. Oh, about that theory — I have worked out that for each of the first five Kate Bush records (minus The Dreaming, that’s for haunted liminal spaces, Halloween and leap years), there is a corresponding season for peak listening enjoyment. This is, of course, a Northern Hemisphere-centric view, but since I started the theory in Canada and perfected it in New Orleans, it does handle a wide swath of weather and geography. Regardless, now that summer is going to be officially street legal on Wednesday, if you’d like to test my theory, it’s a perfect time to listen to 1980’s classic Never for Ever. See what you think. I’m going to play it on repeat in the evenings after the baseball game. If Kate Bush isn’t your bag, there’s lots else to do this week, so get after it.
Thursday
Guitarist and composer Oryan Peterson-Jones is kicking off his June tour with a free evening at the Humboldt Bay Social Club at 6 p.m. If you’re in the mood for the goods — very well-played Americana, folk, world music and flamenco-style guitar — tonight’s the night, until he returns at the end of the month to the Logger Bar. Two hours later at the Jam, you can catch local punk heroes Dead Drift opening up for So-Cal psychobilly acts The Rocketz and Three Bad Jacks ($10).
Friday
The Outer Space is hosting a triad of
off-kilter “dark was the night, cold was the ground” noisemakers at 7 p.m. Come check out Setlist favs Blackplate as they share the stage with Vulture Feather and Monkey Business, both of whom have been given the thumbs up from this writer. This all-ages event has a sliding scale cost of $5-$20, and none of these acts are from Arcata, so think about the cost of gassing up a band van and chip in accordingly.
Saturday
The Freeks are a phuzzy as phuck Los Angeles psych band featuring members of Fu Manchu, Claw Hammer and Backbiter. They are known for playing it loud, hard and weird. Eureka is lucky enough to host that glorious noise tonight, specifically the Shanty, where the fellas will be joined by Sky Screamer and Mystery Meat. Luckier still, this 9 p.m. freekshow is free.
Sunday
Fernstock, Fernstock, Fernstock! Fernstock 2023 is coming to the Humboldt County Fairgrounds today. Starting at noon, there will be two stages with 15 bands competing for $5,000 and a chance to play at the Humboldt County Fair. In addition to the music, there will be oodles of food and local vendors, tasty local beverages, family activities, etc. Tickets range from $15-$50, and it looks like I’m going to be one of the judges this year, so I’ll be
wearing my best ears. Here’s a quick list of the bands, in no particular order, to maintain my official neutrality: Makenu, The Undercovers, Caribbean Jazz Odyssey, Jacki & the Jollies, Insomnia Syndrome, The Critics, Thundercloud, Buddy Reed and the Rip It Ups, Malicious Algorithm, The Triple Tones, Ruckus, The Melange, Young & Lovely, So Hum Girls Band, and September Rain
Monday
Oh look, another river day. Cheers.
Tuesday
The violence and upheaval of human history, particularly that of its empires and colonies, has created — among other things — a paradox of suffering and beauty the moral scales of which no mortal can hope to balance. What art comes from the brutality of conquest is part of the longform passion play of human existence, and that art is, thankfully, part of my beat. I’m thinking of the tango, one of the finest mergings of music and dance in the known universe, a gorgeous rose grown from the fecund and bloody ground of Argentine, African, Spanish and South American history. From the late 19th century salon dances in Buenos Aires to the new forms championed by masters like Astor Piazzolla, the tango is one of the greatest kinetic artforms, and a personal
favorite. Pianist Wendy Cheung seems to agree, as she has spent the last decade traveling the world spreading the gospel of this fantastic dance. Her tour stops in the Arcata Playhouse at 7 p.m. tonight, where her musical partner on the bandoneon (a form of accordion popular in tango) is Argentine player Hugo Satorre ($15, $13 for Playhouse fanclub members).
Assuming the weather cooperates and you can enjoy some sunshine on either end of the workday, that’s my real pick for the longest day of the year. However, evening is another matter and I’m going with another movie night, specifically Sci-Fi Night at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Merging some of my favorite artists into one cult classic is always going to be a draw for me, and few films achieve that better than Total Recall, where director Paul Verhoeven oversees a story sourced from the work of Philip K. Dick and fleshed out by, among other people, Dan O’Bannon, who wrote the screenplay for Alien. This one doesn’t miss. It’s 6 p.m. for the pre-show, $5 to get in, $9 for admission and a poster. l
Collin Yeo (he/him) is too low rent to be a snob. He’s a cheap date in a tailored secondhand coat. He lives in Arcata, a land fat with thrift stores and ground scores.
On Saturday, June 17, from 1 to 10 p.m. , celebrate Juneteenth — the anniversary of the announcement of the end of slavery in the U.S. in 1865 — at Halvorson Park (free). Black Humboldt is bringing together Black and brown food vendors and businesses to peruse, musicians and performers to enjoy, and a kids’ zone for the little ones. The fourth annual event also features speakers and community information tables, as well as a chance to catch up with your community, relax in the beer garden and watch a movie in the open air.

FLAMIN’ HOT touts itself as a heartwarming tale of grit and pride, and a corrective to the injustices Latinos face in the U.S. (and Hollywood in particular), but it’s a discouraging paean to a mythical American dream. The strength of its cast, its cultural celebrations, and its hollow promise of an examination of race in the world of corporate success are flavorless additions, and ultimately the movie leaves a bitter taste.
Flamin’ Hot (Eva Longoria’s directorial debut) tells the allegedly true story of Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia), who was born into a poor Mexican American family east of Los Angeles. Richard has moxie and big dreams, but an abusive father, poverty, prejudice and a lack of options drive him into drug dealing. When facing parenthood with his childhood sweetheart-turned-wife Judy (Annie Gonzalez), Richard goes straight. Finally, he gets a janitorial job at the Frito-Lay plant in Rancho Cucamonga, where he toils for a decade, longing for a promotion. By the end of the 1980s, Frito-Lay is reeling from a snack food war and threatens to close the plant. Inspired by the flavors of his youth, Richard dreams up a spicy seasoning to add to Frito-Lay’s snack lines, and he and Judy work to concoct a recipe, packaging it in small batches to share with family and friends, and finally pitch to the company. He faces incredulity and disregard, still determined to save the company and his job by marketing his hand-crafted spicy snacks to Latinos. In an unbelievably lucky turn, Richard calls and gets through to PepsiCo CEO Roger Enrico (Tony Shalhoub), who, desperate to turn the company around, eagerly accepts a box of spicy Cheetos and travels to Rancho Cucamonga to hear Richard’s sales pitch.
If it sounds implausible, it is. The Los Angeles Times largely debunked Montañez’s story in 2021, supplying ample evidence that the Flamin’ Hot line was developed by a team of Frito-Lay food scientists based on popular snacks in the midwest and East Coast, years before Montañez claims to have done so. Still, Montañez spun his tale into a lucrative career of corporate speaking events, an
autobiography and now this film, on which he earned a writing credit.
I accept the necessity of artistic interpretation and don’t expect Hollywood “true stories” to contain more than a kernel of truth, if that. But what was the point of this story? At a glance, Flamin’ Hot is an inspiring underdog story but there are fatal flaws well beyond Montañez’s embellishments. Montañez can’t make Frito-Lay villainous — it’s the vessel for his success. So the film feels like an extended commercial gilded with morality lessons on hard work, perseverance and being yourself. But Frito-Lay must also play the foil, staffed by white lab-coated scientists while Montañez and his wife visit Mexican markets, lovingly crafting the recipe in their home kitchen. There’s no acknowledgment they are on the same team or that Montañez’s recipe will be recreated and mass produced by these very soulless scientists.
Early on, the middle management team is portrayed as inept, self-serving naysayers, frustrated by corporate structure. But Montañez’s reward is one of the very middle management positions derided.
And despite criticizing middle management and corporate red tape, Flamin’ Hot never comes for the C-suite. The company’s hardships are external, its threatened layoffs an unfortunate but unavoidable necessity. Enrico is portrayed warmly, the only person off the factory floor in touch with the little guy. And Montañez — both the character and real-life figure — is clearly in love with the Flamin’ Hot and Frito-Lay brands. There is no room for examining the outsized role snack foods play in disadvantaged communities, the predatory capitalism of marketing cultural groups or the public health effects of PepsiCo products.
Worst of all, though, is the handling of the movie’s central theme that hard work and perseverance pay off. On his path to success, Montañez works long hours off the clock to learn the inner workings of Frito-Lay. He puts his family and community to (unpaid) work developing, perfecting, marketing and distributing the Flamin’ Hot recipe. He toes the corporate line, finding
his deepest inspiration in a generic video that CEO Enrico distributes company-wide, encouraging workers to “act like owners.” (Appropriately, middle management dismisses these videos as corporate nonsense, but Montañez knows better, they are literally his salvation.)
He does all this, ultimately, to save the PepsiCo corporation. Yes, the Rancho Cucamonga factory stays open; yes, he gets a raise and an o ce. But he and his factory floor buddies are still going to get crumbs for their labor and dedication to a multi-billion-dollar food conglomerate. It’s one of those stories that the media thinks is inspiring and heartwarming, but, upon closer inspection, is depressing.
It’s not hard to see why Montañez’s story is so popular (and lucrative) on the corporate motivational speaking circuit. The message is clear: Work hard, often for free; climb over your coworkers and middle managers for scraps, but never question the leadership; give away your very best ideas and you might have a chance at a better position in the company.
Much has been made of Flamin’ Hot’s lean into Latinidad — the media junket has pushed it an example of the Latino experiences so often ignored by Hollywood. Indeed, the family gatherings, the neighborhood camaraderie and the factory floor solidarity are the most charming parts. There, the actors show o their charisma and comic timing, and make their characters feel genuine. The little details — the invisibility, the mispronunciation of a surname — will feel familiar to many. And there are some nice messages about cultural pride, but they also feel tacked on and disjointed. It feels bad to say so. Representation is important, and there is plenty of demand and space to tell Latinx stories well.
But, Flamin’ hot is even less substantial than the snacks it’s based on. It feels like corporate pap given a flavorless coating of cultural marketing. It’s designed to appeal to certain tastebuds but there’s little nutri-
tion and little reason to return. PG13. 99M. HULU, DISNEY+. ●
Grant Scott-Goforth (he/him) gives all due respect to Flamin’ Hot Cheetos but the Salsa Verde Doritos are the best — Richard, if you invented those, his hat is o to you.

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

/s/TimothyA.Canning JudgeoftheSuperiorCourt
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Aries-born Vincent van Gogh’s painting Potato Eaters shows five people in a dark room barely illuminated by lamplight. Seated around a small table, they use their hands to eat food they have grown themselves. Vincent wanted to convey the idea that they “dug the earth with the very hands they put into their bowls.” I don’t expect you to do anything quite so spectacularly earthy in the coming weeks, Aries, but I would love to see you get very up close and personal with nature. I’d also love to see you learn more about where the fundamental things in your life originate. Bonus points if you seek adventures to bolster your foundations and commune with your roots.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Renowned Mexican artist Diego Rivera emerged from his mother’s womb in 1886. But some observers suggest that Rivera’s soul was born in 1920: a pivotal time when he found his true calling as an artist. During a visit to Italy, as he gazed at the murals of 15th-century mural painters, “he found the inspiration for a new and revolutionary public art capable of furthering the ideals of the ongoing revolution in his native land.” (In the words of art historian Linda Downs.) I will be extra dramatic and speculate that you may have a comparable experience in the coming months, dear Taurus: a rebirth of your soul that awakens vigorous visions of what your future life can be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Among her many jobs, my triple Gemini friend Alicia has worked as a deep-sea rescue diver, an environmental activist, a singer in a band, a dog food taster, an art teacher for kids, and a volunteer at a sleep lab researching the nature of dreams. Do I wonder if she would be wise to commit herself to one occupation? Not really. I respect her decision to honor her ever-shifting passions. But if there will ever come a time when she will experiment with a bit more stability and constancy, it may come during the next 11 months. You Geminis are scheduled to engage in deep ruminations about the undiscovered potentials of regularity, perseverance, and commitment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) As religious sects go, the Shakers are the most benign. Since their origin in the 18th century, they have had as many women as men in leadership roles. They practice pacifism, disavow consumerism, and don’t try to impose their principles on others. Their worship services feature dancing as well as singing. I’m not suggesting you become a Shaker, Cancerian, but I do hope that in the coming months, you will place a premium on associating with noble groups whose high ideals are closely aligned with your own. It’s time to build and nurture your best possible network.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For years, Mario A. Zacchini worked at a circus as a “human cannonball.” On thousands of occasions, he was shot out of a cannon at 90 miles per hour. “Flying isn’t the hard part,” he testified. “Landing in the net is.” His work might sound dangerous, but he lived to age 87. Let’s make Mario your role model for a while, Leo. I hope he will inspire you to be both adventurous and safe, daring but prudent. I trust you will seek exhilarating fun even as you insist on getting soft landings.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Meditation teacher Cheri Huber wrote a book called Be the Person You Want to Find. This would be an excellent title for your life story during the next ten months. I hope you will soon ruminate on how to carry out such a quest. Here are two suggestions. 1. Make a list of qualities you yearn to experience in a dear ally and brainstorm about how to cultivate those qualities in yourself. 2. Name three high-integrity people you admire. Meditate on how you could be more like them in ways that are aligned with your life goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Now is a good time to take stock of how you have fared in the Dating and Mating Games through the years. Why? Because you are entering a new chapter of your personal Love Story. The next two years will bring rich opportunities to outgrow stale relationship patterns and derive rich benefits from novel lessons in intimacy. An excellent way to prepare is to meditate on the history of your togetherness. PS: The term “fate bait” refers to an influence that draws you toward the next turning point of your necessary destiny. Be alert for fate bait.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sagittarian actor Samuel Jackson loves the color purple. He insists on it being featured in his films, and he often wears purple outfits. In Black Snake Moan he plays a purple Gibson guitar. In the animated movie, Turbo, he voices the role of a purple racing snail. In his Star Wars appearances, he wields a purple light saber. Now I am endorsing his obsession for your use. Why? First, it’s an excellent time to home in on exactly what you want and ask for exactly what you want. Second, now is a favorable phase to emphasize purple in your own adventures. Astrologers say purple is your ruling color. It stimulates your natural affinity for abundance, expansiveness, and openness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) People who understand the creative process say it’s often wise to stay mum about your in-progress work. You may diminish the potency of your projects if you blab about them while they’re still underway. I don’t think that’s true for all creative efforts. For example, if we collaborate with partners on an artistic project or business venture, we must communicate well with them. However, I do suspect the transformative efforts you are currently involved in will benefit from at least some secrecy for now. Cultivate the privacy necessary to usher your masterpiece to further ripeness.
442-1400
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One of my favorite astrology teachers, Stephen Arroyo, notes, “Most people have a strong opinion about astrology, usually quite extreme, even though 95 percent have never studied it whatsoever.” Of course, astrology is not the only subject about which people spout superficial ideas based on scant research. Viral epidemiology is another example. Anyway, Virgo, I am asking you to work hard to avoid this behavior during the rest of 2023. Of all the zodiac signs, you have the greatest potential to express thoughtful ideas based on actual evidence. Be a role model for the rest of us! Show us what it means to have articulate, well-informed opinions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Musician Frank Zappa (1940–1993) was a freaky rebel, iconoclastic weirdo, and virtuoso experimenter. Everything normal and ordinary was boring to him. He aspired to transcend all categories. And yet he refrained from taking psychedelic drugs and urged his fans to do the same. He said, “We repudiate any substances, vehicles, or procedures which might reduce the body, mind, or spirit of an individual to a state of sub-awareness or insensitivity.” Zappa might have added that some substances temporarily have a pleasing effect but ultimately diminish the life force. In my estimation, Aquarius, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to re-evaluate your relationship with influences that weaken the vitality of your body, mind, or spirit. It will also be a favorable period to seek new modes of lasting liberation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you are at a festival or fair where you could win a lot of money by smashing watermelons with your head, I hope you won’t do it. Same if you imagine you could impress a potential lover by eating 25 eggs in three minutes: Please don’t. Likewise, I beg you not to let yourself be manipulated or abused by anyone for any reason. These days, it’s crucial not to believe you can succeed by doing things that would hurt or demean or diminish you. For the foreseeable future, you will be wise to show what you do best and express your highest values. That’s the most effective way to get what you want. l
