Opium Dens and ‘Morphine Fiends’ Humboldt County’s current opioid epidemic parallels its first

BY LYNETTE MULLEN

W

hen Charles Martin addressed the Judge, his condition invoked the sympathy of everyone in the room. “Standing in the prisoners’ dock, he presented a pitiable sight,” the Humboldt Times described in an edition printed later that day. “Though young in years, he was nevertheless a broken, decrepit being, trembling in every nerve and muscle.”

Martin had been arrested for using drugs and the effects of Martin’s “debaucheries” were clearly evident as he stood before the court and detailed his downward spiral into addiction. One indulgence, he said, had led to another, until he was powerless to resist his cravings. Abstinence had become a torture he simply could not bear.

Confessions like Martin’s play out with a numbing regularity in Humboldt County’s courtrooms with one caveat. Martin appeared in the Eureka police court more than a century ago, on Jan. 23, 1881. The root of his addiction, opium.

“This is actually not our first opioid crisis,” says Candy Stockton, who currently serves as chief medical officer of the Independent Practice Association, co-chairs Rx Safe Humboldt and was recently named Humboldt County’s next health officer. “While some things have changed, too much has stayed the same.”

Opiates, derived from the milky sap of the opium poppy, have been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments including coughs, di-

arrhea (which could be fatal) and more. They also mimic the body’s natural endorphins and can relieve pain, induce sleep and enhance

users’ mood to the point of euphoria.

“Opiates are also highly addictive,” Stockton explains.

“Those who become depen-

dent eventually need the drug for their brain to feel normal.”

Despite these challenges, Opium’s benefits (and perhaps addictive qualities) supported its early spread to ancient Greece, Persia and Egypt. By the sixth or seventh century A.D., opium had reached China and East Asia through trade along the Silk Road. In the 1700s, the British empire conquered a major poppygrowing region in India and brought opium, and addiction, back to England. Britain then began to ship opium into China, where the drug’s addictive qualities steadily increased demand. The British used the soaring proceeds of their drug sales to purchase and profit from Chinese luxury goods, such as silks and teas. China’s attempts to stem the tide of opium (and addiction) into the country ultimately failed.

During the First Opium War (1839-1842), the British government used military force to keep Chinese ports open to opium and during the second (1856-1860), the British and

Re: ‘Unhinged’ Editor: Many thanks to Jennifer Fumiko Cahill for “It Might Be Time to Get Totally Motherfucking Unhinged” (Jan. 6), a brilliant, if somewhat understated, take on the gun violence epidemic that’s infected our schools.

God or somebody bless her.

Gordon Inkeles, Bayside Editor: My very Republican father held that gratuitous profanity merely shows a speaker’s lack of eloquence.

I disagree with Jennifer Fumiko-Cahill’s idea that we on the left will be more effective if we use the same foul language as the worst trolls of the extreme right wing. Following her logic, we should also, I guess, threaten female Republican political figures with rape or execution, spread as much disinformation as we can online, and maybe even start shooting up groups that we disagree with.

Just because we don’t indulge in profanity doesn’t mean we aren’t angry about the nation’s politics — we are still marching, writing, speaking, calling and voting. People like representatves. Hakeem Jeffries, Katie Porter, AOC, Sen. Chris Murphy and 13-year-old Naiara Tamminga show us all how to speak passion without the vulgarity.

The majority of us, of all political stripes, are tired of the ugliness in today’s political discourse. Although I don’t mind hearing (or saying) an occasional expletive, I don’t think I’m alone in closing my mind to a speaker who wallows in profanity.

Messages of truth, justice and kindness can get lost when wrapped in crudeness.

Alan Sanborn, Arcata Editor: Thank you!!!!! For saying what needs to be said exactly how it needs to be said … and for reminding us that we need to do the same! Most honest and powerful arti-

cle I’ve ever read in any paper anywhere!!

Liz Roth, McKinleyville Editor: I agree with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill absolutely that it is past time for us, the American people, to “get totally motherfucking unhinged” in response to the lack of response to our gun problems.

Absolutely no one needs to own a fucking automatic killing machine that destroys human tissue and children’s faces such that DNA is needed to identify them in a school room.

I am angry, disgusted, unbelievably sad and ashamed of Americans who think otherwise. Thank you, Jennifer, for saying and printing what this 70-year-old woman is feeling.

‘Strengthening the Safety Net’ Editor: Over 20 years ago I worked with at-risk youth in Humboldt county. We had a 15-year-old youth who had attempted suicide a number of times. They were very disturbed and got into physical fights at school and with their family. Everyone in the community was involved in this case: law enforcement, probation, juvenile court, child welfare, the department of education, county mental health, CASA, and the Youth Service Bureau, the agency that I worked for. Because this case was so intense, we all had each other’s phone numbers and were in constant contact with each other. This was before iPhones and social media.

One day, just before a family meeting, the youth approached a co-worker and me. They told us that none of the meetings, medications and counseling were working, and they planned to take a couple of their father’s hunting rifles and shotguns to the high school and “kill some

people.” This was a credible threat. The youth had access to firearms and ammo and knew how to use them and they lived within walking distance to the school.

Their plan was “suicide by cop.” We took them to county mental health, where they were later transferred to a psychiatric hospital.

Stories like this are not uncommon but they aren’t usually reported. In most school shootings, the red flags and cries for help are not heard. Once a person with a weapon enters school grounds with intent to do harm, it is already too late. Turning schools into prisons or war zones won’t work either. What does work is strengthening the safety net we already have and creating a system where troubled youth have somewhere to turn, someone to talk to.

ailey Dolcini sacrificed a lot while growing up in Ferndale.

In grade school, she’d skip afternoon playdates with her friends to pitch to her dad in the driveway. When her classmates gathered for middle school dances, she was often traveling with her softball team, thinking missing those moments in darkened gyms was “the hardest thing in the world.” In high school, afternoons were spent on the field, while most weekends passed in the car with her dad, driving 12 hours each way to out-of-area tournaments, often arriving back home not long before dawn on a Monday to catch a few hours of sleep and trudge off to school.

“It definitely got hard sometimes,” says Dolcini, freshly returned to Ferndale from the Women’s College World Series (WCWS) in Oklahoma City, where she helped lead her University of Texas Longhorns on a historic run to the game’s biggest stage. “I wanted to make something of my career that I would be remembered by.”

For those who didn’t watch or aren’t softball fans, it’s hard to capture the magnitude of what Dolcini accomplished

in the last weeks of her college career. She didn’t break any statistical records and she and her Longhorns fell just short of the championship. But in what was undeniably the sport’s biggest year — the WCWS smashed in-person attendance records, drew a million-plus television viewers per game and, for the first time, aired live on network TV — Dolcini became perhaps the most compelling character on a team filled with them and shattered all expectations, becoming the first unseeded team in a field of 64 to make it to the championship series.

And for many of those watching back home in the Eel River Valley, where Dolcini starred for four consecutive years at Fortuna High School, it meant all the more that their hometown girl stole the show not with otherworldly athletic gifts but grit, determination, stamina and a competitive ferocity that won hearts and minds. In the words of Longhorns’ Coach Mike White, she was a “rock star,” while reporters dubbed her a “warrior.” Cat Osterman, a mythic figure in Texas softball who pitched in three Olympics and set a number of WCWS records, tweeted simply: “Legends are made in [the World

Series] and Hailey Dolcini is mine,” to which the national Little League association responded, “Ours too.”

Talking to the Journal the day after she returned home, Dolcini says she’s still processing the last month, calling it “indescribable.” But she feels she was able to seize the opportunity and shine on the game’s biggest stage — a bigger one than most thought possible a decade ago — because she knew she’d put in the work to prepare for the moment.

Dolcini says she started playing softball when she was 8 years old, recalling telling her dad she wanted to be a pitcher. Her dad responded by saying she couldn’t have the responsibility of the ball in her hand and a team on her back until she showed him over the course of a year she would be dedicated to the sport. From there, day in and day out, she’d drag him to their driveway or Fireman’s Park to pass hours pitching to him as he sat on a bucket.

“It spiraled from there,” Dolcini says with a chuckle, recounting how her love of the game — and the competition — blossomed.

Fortuna High School softball coach Eric Helms, who’s known Dolcini since she was about 10, recalls her showing up as a freshman and, just eight games into the season, taking over the team’s starting pitching role from an established junior. She never looked back, leading the Huskies to a league championship while winning the league MVP that year, dual feats she would repeat in each of the next three years while amassing a mind-boggling resume including 1,100 strikeouts (24 of those in a single game against Cloverdale), as well as numerous no-hitters and perfect games.

“I’ve never seen an athlete work as hard or be as determined,” Helms says. “She wasn’t the most gifted athlete at a young age but it was her dedication, her perseverance, her work ethic, her willingness to go beyond where her body would allow that has made her successful.”

Dolcini also made an impact off the field. Her sophomore year, Helms said a couple of her fellow students were diagnosed with cancer so the young pitcher turned her on-the-field success into a fundraiser. Dolcini says it all circled back to a conversation with her parents, Bobby and Kalynn Dolcini, in which they told her: “You’re having all of this success and it’s great but is there a way it can be used to benefit someone else?” Dolcini paired with the nonprofit Cookies for Kids’ Cancer — she says she chose it because 100 percent of proceeds go to families needing assistance or research — to form Ks for Cancer. Dolcini says she’d take pledge Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, June 16, 2022 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

sheets to local businesses and pass them around the stands during games, with folks promising $1 or more per strikeout she pitched. Eventually, she talked Fortuna and McKinleyville high schools into putting on a Ks for Kids’ Cancer game, with all proceeds going to the organization. Ultimately, she raised more than $10,000 for the cause while still in high school.

(National Collegiate Athletics Association rules prohibited Dolcini from continuing the effort into college, though the issue clearly remains close to her heart as she wore a ribbon in her hair during games this year that says #RaeStrong, a nod of support to South Fork High School’s Raelynn Hawkins, who is battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.)

Out of high school, Dolcini attended University of California Riverside but left after a year, following the coach who had recruited her to Fresno State University.

There, Dolcini starred in three seasons (including one shortened by COVID), culminating in her being named All Mountain West Conference pitcher of the year in 2021. After graduating with a degree in public health, Dolcini moved on to the University of Texas to pursue a master’s degree in strategic communication and play out her last year of college eligibility in a “super senior” season.

While Texas softball had high hopes coming into the season, the team struggled under the weight of individual and collective expectations. Dolcini says she and the team captains wrestled over what to do — more team bonding activities or perhaps fewer? — and worked with a sports psychologist, but the inconsistency persisted. Finally, Dolcini says, she and her fellow seniors just decided things couldn’t get worse and their senior years were passing them by, so they should work on enjoying the moment. Dolcini had put lot of mental energy her junior year toward mastering the mental aspects of highstakes athletics, journaling and listening to sports psychology podcasts, while maintaining an “almost crazy” ritualized and superstitious pre-game routine. She began to let that go, instead playing hacky sack with teammates before games, focusing on finding joy and savoring the last weeks of her career.

Texas entered the WCWS tournament unseeded in a field of 64 teams and wasn’t considered good enough to host a game at home. Instead, the team traveled to Seattle for regionals, where it beat Webber State University to force a best-of-seven series against the No. 11 Washington Huskies. Dolcini tossed all 21 innings in three games over two days, finishing the weekend with an ERA of 1.33 and 15 strikeouts. The team advanced to the super

regional round, where it won two out of three against fourth-ranked University of Arkansas to advance, including a 129-pitch performance from Dolcini for a 3-1 win in a do-or-die second game. Texas then won four of its next five — including two brilliant performances from Dolcini — to advance to the final round against defending champion and top seeded Oklahoma University, which finished the year 59-3 and which many believe is the best team ever fielded in the sport’s history.

A while after the final pitch was thrown, when Oklahoma’s celebration had moved into the locker room but confetti still papered the field, Dolcini walked out on the field one last time. Delicately, she placed her cleats next to home plate before hugging teammate McKenzie Parker and walking off the field, leaving the cleats as a parting gift to the game that gave her so much.

“I can truly say I have zero regrets in the sense that I could not have trained any harder,” Dolcini says. “It’s a lot easier to hang up your cleats when you know you gave it your all.”

Asked a few days later by the Journal if she might pitch again overseas or perhaps go for the 2024 Olympic team, Dolcini said no. Years of heavy pitch counts and 200plus innings have taken their toll, she says.

The WCWS tournament alone saw Dolcini toss almost 900 pitches across more than 59 innings, a workload she said was only possible with round-the-clock treatments, from massages, ice packs and clothing designed to stimulate muscle recovery to compression therapy boots and sleeping with an ultrasound machine attached to her pitching arm.

“The cleats are hung up,” she says. “My body is done. It’s just one of those things.

When you know, you know.”

As to the next chapter of her life, the 22 year old said she’s not exactly sure what it holds. She’s headed back to Austin, Texas, to finish that master’s degree and serve as the team’s graduate assistant coach next year. That could spark interest — and a career — in coaching, she says, but she’s not sure. If nothing else, the role will earn Dolcini a free master’s degree, she says, a final gift from the game.

What advice would Dolcini give kids across the North Coast and beyond who were inspired by her play in the WCWS and the Longhorns’ improbable run?

She doesn’t pause: “For me, the biggest thing is if you love the game, it’ll love you right back. That’s the one thing I can say, I poured everything I had into this game and it poured everything right back into me in this last year.” ●

Local Native Teens Win Big at Business Competition

L

ocal high school students won big at a youth business competition at the Reservation Economic Summit (RES) produced by the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (NCAIED) last month in Las Vegas.

As part of a program through Two Feathers Native American Family Services, Emma Sundberg, a Wiyot junior from McKinleyville High School, Jordan Brown, a Karuk junior from McKinleyville High, Ryan Ames, a Yurok senior from Hoopa High and Claire Patterson, a Karuk sophomore from El Dorado High in Placerville, submitted a business proposal to the RES youth business competition. Their proposal was among the top five in the country selected to be presented to the RES’s Native Youth Business Plan Competition during the summit.

Their proposal sought to create “Home Away From Home,” a safe and welcoming cultural community center that will promote healthy physical and emotional lifestyles for Native American children and teens locally.

The team presented their proposal and won $5,000 for Two Feathers Native American Services.

Yurok tribal member and CEO of Pergeesh Construction Pamela Ames and Vice President and Group Account Director at Science and Purpose Lisa Ames volunteered to mentor the teens through the entire process of developing their business proposal before the competition. Burbank says Ames would like to continue mentoring local Native youth for this business competition in the years to come.

Opium Dens and ‘Morphine Fiends’ Humboldt County’s current opioid epidemic parallels its first

BY LYNETTE MULLEN newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

Continued from page 1 French succeeded together in forcing China to keep opium legal in China.

“Many blamed the Chinese for the spread of opium but it was really our fault,” says Stockton, referring to white or European Americans, noting the still-familiar pattern of blaming perceived others for local (and national) addiction problems.

By the time of California’s gold rush in 1850, opium addiction was well entrenched in Chinese society and Chinese laborers arriving to work on western railroads and goldfields brought their customs — and opium — with them.

Widespread alcohol abuse and associated violence and mayhem had been familiar problems in the “settled” areas of the North Coast in the second half of the 19th century, but opium also gained a foothold in the region. By 1881, Eureka hosted at least four opium dens catering specifically to white residents, as well as others serving the Chinese community. While a Humboldt Times reporter sympathized with white users seeking a temporary escape or “sensual enjoyment” from the opium pipe, the reporter noted that the “pallid countenance, fleshless frames and shaking limbs” of the community’s otherwise promising young men was alarming.

The son of a liquor dealer could not be pulled away, nor could a local attorney whose addiction sometimes found him in court “too stupid from the effects of the drug to attend to the matters in which

10

he was retained.” Local prostitutes were known to seek a “luxuriant repose beneath the clouds of smoke,” but worse in the eyes of provincial white residents, so were at least some “respectable” women.

This spread of addiction into more mainstream populations seemed to be at the root of local concerns. In 1875, San Francisco became the first California city to pass legislation making it illegal to maintain or frequent an opium den, though it did not ban sales, imports or other uses. While the law did not specify race, according to a 2014 analysis offered

by Stanford Law School, it was enacted to address “opium-smoking establishments kept by Chinese, for the exclusive use of white men and women and prevent those of “respectable parentage” from using the drug. Dens specifically catering to Chinese smokers were generally left alone. Other California communities took the same approach — focusing erroneously on “protecting” white residents from perceived corrupting influences through prohibition rather than addressing root causes of addiction.

By 1883, the Eureka press was calling on officials to rid the community of opium dens and “kindred evils.” Establishments were raided and operators and smokers faced fines and stints in county jail, though disparities were obvious.

On March 12, 1884, the Humboldt Times reported that Walter Simmons, charged with being in a house where opium was sold, faced a fine of $10 while Sing Joe, a

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 16, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

“Celestial” (Chinese emigrant), was fined $20 for the same offense.

On March 21, 1883, following the arrest of a “Chinaman, Chinawoman and suspected white man” in a Shasta County opium den, the Humboldt Times reported the expulsion of that county’s Chinese residents.

In 1885, after Chinese gang members were alleged to have accidentally shot a white Eureka city councilmember, local officials, already primed with anti-Chinese sentiment, followed Shasta’s lead and forced nearly all the city’s Chinese residents onto a ship bound for San Francisco. Arcata citizens, after blaming their Chinese residents for opium dens, gambling and prostitution, soon expelled that city’s Chinese community members as well.

Predictably, problems continued.

“Even when you can limit the supply of a drug, the demand doesn’t go away,” Stockton says. “People just turn to something else.” And that is what seems to have happened in 1885. Local stories and community protests against opium dens disappeared from the county’s newspapers with the expulsion of Humboldt’s Chinese residents but the racist action did nothing to address addiction in Humboldt. While opium use continued to plague other communities, Humboldt County’s drug challenges took an unexpected turn.

Without Opium …

Morphine is made by extracting the alkaloids from an opium poppy plant and its pure form is 10 times stronger than opium.

Like opium, morphine was used extensively for pain management beginning in the 19th century and also causes physical and psychological dependence. By the end of the Civil War, it was estimated that at least half-a-million soldiers were battling morphine addiction. Survivors of the war moving west brought morphine, and addiction, with them. After opium dens were closed in Humboldt County, addicts turned to morphine.

“Give me only a few drops; for god’s sake, give me just a little,” the Humboldt Times quoted a “shrunken-faced … morphine fiend” as saying to a New York pharmacist in its Oct. 29, 1885, issue. The story was one of many highlighting the horrors of morphine addiction, which was then sweeping the nation.

While some had already linked the growing drug crisis to irresponsible physicians and druggists sharing the opiates too freely, doctors had few choices and patients in pain begged for relief. With few effective alternatives, physicians continued to prescribe opiates and again, Stockton points out, we see parallels.

“Part of the reason for the most recent opioid crisis was the expectation that patients, even those recovering from surgeries or severe physical trauma, should not have significant pain,” she says. “Doctors face pressure to alleviate patient suffering — opiates are incredibly effective and readily available.”

But it isn’t just physical pain people are desperate to escape, observed Andrew

The mug shots of Chris Weldon (left) and Dr. Thomas Messerole, two men whose struggles with addiction were chronicled in the Humboldt Times. California State Archives Carpenter Wheeler, an American journalist writing under the pen name Nym Crinkle, in an editorial published in the Sept. 6, 1887, Humboldt Times.

“I have found that in most cases the [opiate] habit had been contracted, not as usually stated, in a desire to escape physical pain, but in the endeavor to escape mental troubles,” Crinkle wrote. “Morphine, like opium … is a great remorse killer … a temporary Lethe.” Lethe is a river in Hades with water that when drunk made the souls of the dead forget their life on earth. Men were the most frequent drug users, Crinkle pointed out, but women were not immune (see Laudanum sidebar).

Cycles of Trauma

When Ferndale pioneer James Weldon died in the 1870s, it fell to his widow Elizabeth to raise their eight children alone. Uneducated, she pulled the family from its once successful farm to work in a Eureka laundry. The older children did what they could to help to pay the bills, but their earnings were never enough.

Not long after his father’s death, Elizabeth’s second born, David, was sent to San Quentin for robbery. David’s younger brother Chris soon followed after stealing a gold watch and attempting to pawn it in Eureka. For the younger Weldon, the first conviction launched a years-long pattern of incarceration and release and, though he wasn’t identified in the local paper as a “morphine fiend” until 1892, his addiction and criminal behavior were surely related.

On Nov. 24, 1900, 15 years after his first conviction, the Del Norte County Triplicate announced Chris Weldon had been arrested and sentenced to 18 months in Folsom State Prison for burglary. Weldon,

the paper noted, was addicted to narcotics and committed the thefts to get drugs.

“It is so painful because the conversations we have today are the same ones we had 100 years ago,” Stockton says. “People suffer and turn to what is available to treat their suffering.”

Chris Weldon had lost a parent, she points out, experienced poverty, had a family member incarcerated and likely experienced both physical and emotional neglect. While Chris Weldon likely just counted himself the victim of a hard life, today we refer to these events as adverse childhood experiences, or ACES, and understand more about the impacts of childhood trauma. Recent studies have consistently shown that individuals with higher ACES scores, meaning they have experienced more adverse childhood experiences, are more likely to have poor health, suffer from addiction and engage in high-risk behaviors in adulthood. As early as Oct. 1, 1896, the Humboldt Times printed the findings of a New York physician working in the Tombs Manhattan detention complex, which noted that “victims to the opium and morphine habits” accounted for approximately 85 percent of inmates there.

According to the First Five Center for Children’s Policy, about 31 percent of Humboldt County residents have an ACEs score of four or higher, roughly double the percentage of other California residents.

Humboldt County’s 21st century rates of addiction, premature death, overdoses and petty crime reflect this distinction.

In the 19th century, Weldon was far from the only local resident stealing to feed their addiction. Throughout the

1890s, confirmed “morphine fiends” like Charles Murray, Dave Dillon and Frank Whiting were often before a judge on petty criminal charges. In 1902, one local judge committed morphine addict Fred Grant to the county jail for three months with the express hope “he might recover from the use of the drug sufficiently to be able to abstain from its use.” A reporter described Grant as a “pitiful object,” struggling in vain against his addiction.

Treatment options at the time were few and far between and both law enforcement and users were desperate.

By then, physicians recognized that sudden withdrawal was a “torturing ordeal” considered by many to be cruel and barbarous, but for many like local physician Thomas Messerole, the Top: A newspaper advertisement promises a “home white-knuckle approach of sudden abcure” for addiction.

Despite “diplomas and credenand lacerated his arm.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual He successfully overcame his addiction of Mental Disorders (DSM) is the hand-

book used by healthcare professionals in the United States and much of the world as the authoritative guide to diagnosing mental disorders. According to the DSM, people have a substance use disorder when they can’t control their substance use, their use creates social problems, they use in unsafe or risky settings or become physically dependent. But, as Stockton pointed out, many of these things are only obvious when substance users also face financial, housing or employment challenges. While those who lack the privacy of a home or have less control over their jobs have less margin for error in managing an addiction, professionals can often access substances of choice, use them in the safety of their own home and make social and professional adjustments to avoid detrimental impacts. More often than not, substance use needs to be extreme

before those users experience significant consequences.

Messerole had reached that point, but sympathy from the courts in deference to his education and profession protected him until July 13, 1907, when the Los Angeles Herald reported that the former doctor, a confirmed morphine and cocaine addict, was arrested for counterfeiting. He was convicted and sent to San Quentin for a year. It is unclear if the year gave him a chance to break his habit, but Stockton says probably not.

“The body develops a dependence on the drug,” she explains. “During physical withdrawal, individuals experience the opposite effects. If you take opiates to alleviate pain, that pain is magnified. If you were constipated, you get diarrhea.

“Unfortunately, this story is too familiar, even today,” Stockton says. “Though we have more social services and treatment programs now than we had 100 years ago, we still need to build more resources for children and families. We need to identify risks and address trauma and poverty. We are also too quick to remove children from their family of origin and culture without recognizing that separating them creates additional trauma.”

That trauma can have long-term consequences. In fact, on May 13, 1905, the Humboldt Times reported that a 9-year-old boy at the county hospital had contracted scarlet fever. The boy was the son of the “notorious Willis couple,” the paper noted, and had been an “inmate” of the hospital for about a year.

“We need to ensure that families can access basic mental health care and treat illness, as well as mental health issues like depression and anxiety,” Stockton says.

“We also need to support them better with opportunities for safe and stable housing.”

Failing that, Stockton predicts, we will continue to see stories like that of the Willis family again and again over the next 100 years.

or giving to his children.” In 1907, California became the first state to prohibit marijuana in an addendum to the Poison Act, which made it illegal to sell or use cocaine or opiates, such as opium and morphine, without a prescription.

It would take the passage of the Harrison Tax Act in 1914, however, before the federal government took complete control, regulating the production, importation and distribution of opiates and cocaine. The law also imposed taxes and finally put physicians in charge of access to these potent and addictive drugs. But the law also restricted physician access to the drugs and, by 1917, doctors were prohibited from prescribing opioids to treat addiction.

“Doctors realized that to support those recovering from addiction, they had to help patients adjust their dopamine levels — just to keep them functioning,” Stockton says. “Without medical treatment, many patients won’t be successful. Their dopamine levels are so low they lose their will to live.”

Doctors don’t treat addiction with opioids so that patients get high, she clarifies, but instead use them as a medical treatment to keep patients functioning as their bodies and brains work through the withdrawal and healing process.

Because these laws limited legal access, many turned to other sources and Humboldt County’s illicit drug use proliferated.

On Jan. 26, 1923, the Humboldt Times argued the death penalty should be imposed on those convicted of dealing illegal drugs. “The dope peddler is a murderer, just as surely as is the highwayman or other renegade who uses a gun, but his offense is the worst and most devilish in the whole category of crime,” the writer declared. “With a stealth and cunning almost defying detection, the miserable thief of life, health and happiness, the despoiler of youth and honor, slinks, like a pestilence into the home, the school and the workshop and spreads death and ruin.”

The death penalty, though extreme, seemed to be the only solution, the editorial argued.

“Of course, there will be those who will gasp in horror at such a proposal,” it concluded. “But only because they did not know and appreciate the danger, much less the enormity, of the crime of the dope peddler.”

Stories like those of Weldon, Messerole and the Willis family were likely no surprise to doctors and others following the impacts of addiction at the time, yet opioids provided key ingredients used to manufacture critical drugs needed to address a variety of illnesses. In fact, in December of 1887, the secretary of U.S. Department of Agriculture encouraged American farmers to “turn to the cultivation of opium poppies.”

The key, many believed, was restricting access. As early as the 1880s, health experts were demanding more control over the distribution of opium, morphine and addictive drugs, and doctors were encouraged to limit their prescriptions and monitor patients for signs of addiction. Legislation was proposed and enacted to better regulate the access and sale of legal drugs but control on the streets remained fragmented and sporadic. In fact, in November of 1897, the Missouri Supreme Court declared the law against opium smoking and opium dens unconstitutional because it interfered with the right of men to smoke whatever they choose. As the country moved into the 20th century, many opiates could still be purchased without a prescription from neighborhood drug stores.

Many laws were passed in the early 1900s to restrict the transport and sale of opiates and to label them so the purchaser would know “what poison he is taking

Breaking the Cycle

Throughout the 20th century, officials, medical professionals and families continued to battle the ravages of addiction.

And in the mid-1990s, the over-prescribing of OxyContin sparked a new epidemic of addiction and death. Fortunately, Congress

passed the Narcotic Treatment Act in 1974, which allowed a practitioner dispense Schedule II narcotic drugs for maintenance and/or detoxification, allowing a more medically informed model of addiction treatment. Combining medication with mental health and other supportive services, Stockton says, seems to be the most effective approach to treatment, though not all challenges are medical. Stigma, she says, remains a significant barrier.

“When an oncologist treats cancer, he or she doesn’t question if the patient deserves treatment, even if the patient smoked or engaged in other behaviors that contributed to their health issues,” she says, noting that too often addiction is treated as a moral failing instead of an illness that can be treated to help patients achieve better, healthier lives. “We also need to focus on the root cause of addiction because limiting supply simply sends the user searching for another drug to help them. Until significant changes are made, we will just continue to repeat the cycle.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics, more than 100,000 people died of a drug overdose in the United States during a 12-month period ending in April of 2021, an increase of 28.5 percent from the 78,056 deaths during the same period the year before. Fentanyl, which is lethal in much smaller doses, increases these dangers but, Stockton says, we are not without hope. Building foundational supports for children and families, she says, is key.

“We absolutely need to address racial and economic disparities and provide equitable access to medical care and housing,” she says. “We also need to have a more effective response to (the)crisis and provide addiction treatment to all who need it.” Supporting programs like Eureka-based Waterfront Recovery Services, the first detox program certified by the California Department of Health Care Services to provide medically assisted treatment for drug and alcohol withdrawal, is a good start. Stockton also believes other advances are coming as medical providers learn more about addiction and its causes.

“Knowledge is power,” she says. “With the digital age, our access to information is very different. We understand so much more than we did before, and we can more easily share that information. We really don’t need to be talking about another drug crisis 100 years from now. We can learn from our mistakes.”

This past September, she and her husband, William, who’d grown up in Arcata, packed up their place in Williamsburg in Brooklyn and moved to Humboldt. “There was nothing that was holding me down or back,” she says.

But after a brief stint at the Ingomar Club and a few interviews, Burgess, who holds a pastry and baking degree from the Institute of Culinary Education, realized she wanted more than was available, and not just in terms of pay, though she notes, “The hiring and pay rate in this industry and in this county needs to change.” So she found a gig cooking for international students in St. Bernard’s Academy dorms and started working on building a pop-up dining venture of her own. She held her first five-course event “Hello Humboldt” at Mad River Brewing on Friday, June 10, for a crowd of 30. It was a 13-hour flurry of prepping, cooking, plating, hosting, serving and cleaning, and she’s eager to do it again.

Much of the draw of a pop-up business for Burgess is creative autonomy. “I wanna do my own thing, where it’s not cooking how someone else wants it to be. This way I get to incorporate the many cultures that I grew up around and my own,” says Burgess, who was born in Jamaica and raised in wildly multicultural Queens, New York.

Her Hello Humboldt dinner showcased her new American cuisine style, combining different flavor profiles and cooking tech-

niques. Taking advantage of Humboldt’s “beautiful” produce, she sourced salmon from Ashley’s Seafood, and fruits and vegetables — including still-green strawberries, their acidic and floral flavor perfect for pickling — from farmers markets. The berries starred in the color-saturated first course with radish, calendula and turnip.

“There’s a lot of Middle Eastern influence in this one,” Burgess says, an assertion borne out by the lamb breast served with yogurt, mint and rhubarb in the fourth course. The tasting menu closed with a chocolate crémeux served with kumquat and coconut cream.

Each course was paired with one of Mad River Brewing Co.’s beverages, from pale ale to Jamaican red and hard seltzer, for which Burgess called on her training and research, rather than tasting herself.

“I’ve been sober for two and a half years and it was interesting to work with Mad River,” getting notes from the brewer and selecting compatible elements, ingredients and flavors, “but without printing out their secrets to me,” she says with a broad laugh. “I think that you can still be sober and do these kinds of pairings where you’re not straw testing — you’re using your culinary knowledge,” she says, noting the benefits of clear-headedness and a change in her palate allowing her to taste more, similar to the way quitting smoking allows one to detect more subtle flavors.

Burgess enjoys the small footprint and strong controlling hand she has in a pop-up dinner, too. Most of her recipes, she says, are in her head and not written down, so she can work without a sous

chef but still needs a couple sets of trusted hands for prepping, plating and serving. “I am fine working alone but I acknowledge that I cannot do it alone,” she says, and adds she paid the three she hired for the evening $20 per hour. While ingredients were hardly cheap, there’s little wasted at a ticketed dinner, since she’s able to purchase only what’s needed for the set number of guests. “There’s a lot of food lost and food waste in this business and it pains me, it always has,” Burgess says. “Basically, my food waste is what you don’t eat off your plate.”

Even with what she has to pay to use the hosting establishment’s kitchen, the dinners pencil out on Burgess’ end with less risk than paying monthly rent for a permanent brick-and-mortar restaurant of her own, especially in uncertain times that have led to long stretches of closed doors.

This first night took more of an investment, including flatware, place settings, printed menus and other expenses, but profit was not the main motive this time around. “I want to show what I’m about and what I can bring to the table.”

Burgess is confident she can make it worth it on the diner’s end, too. “If you’re going to spend $95 or whatever it is … it should be extravagant and you should feel taken care of, and it should be special.”

Some of that feeling is accomplished by having the meal itself become an event.

The vibe Burgess is going for is a social one, so the pair of long tables with 15 seats each are meant to foster conversations between possible strangers sharing an experience. “Which is what I want to happen. [Hello Humboldt] is not just about me meeting people in the community but it’s about everyone involved.”

Days later, Burgess is still reviewing her comment cards — one consisted of little drawings — and filling out her calendar with planned collaborations. Her hope is to work up to bi-monthly or monthly ticketed events. So long as “people are still excited about it and I’m not a one-hit wonder,” she says, with a burst of laughter and a fortifying breath. “I’m all in. I’m going for it.”

y dad wasn’t made from the same mold as other dads.

Every weekend there were adventures and usually misadventures. In sub-zero New Hampshire winters we’d snowshoe through frozen river gorges and huddle around a tiny camp stove roasting bratwurst and scalding our taste buds on hot soup from a Thermos. He taught us food tastes better when you’re outdoors, even if it’s burned to a crisp.

When we went sledding with the neighborhood kids, my dad showed up with a shovel and a bucket of water to help us build a fairly lethal ski jump. Then he balanced on his shovel and rode it all the way down the hill while the gang laughed.

He taught us to not take ourselves too seriously.

When the snow melted and the lakes were full of runoff, my dad began his spring ritual of preparing our old wooden boat for the fishing season, patching last year’s holes with optimism and foul-smelling adhesive and slapping on a new coat of paint — sometimes green, sometimes blue. He was a busy man but he’d take us

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 1, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

fishing after work; often it was dark by the time we docked with our catch. He taught us to make time for the things we loved.

In the sweltering heat of summer, while other families were whooping it up at Disneyland, my dad came up with a better idea: the family canoe trip. He borrowed three canoes and bought out the entire stock of freeze-dried beef stroganoff from the Army-Navy store and off we went for a serene paddle down the Connecticut River. As my brother and I portaged our fully loaded canoe around the third dam in three days, sweating and staggering under our burden, we looked up and saw a black-throated blue warbler, my only sighting to date of this lovely bird. My dad taught us that hard work can bring unexpected rewards.

When we were playing ball in the vacant field behind our house and found a strange bird that seemed to have a broken wing, my dad told us, “That’s a killdeer.

Probably has a nest nearby.” We found four perfect speckled eggs in a depression in the grass and begged our dad to do something to protect them from the riding mower that came along every two

weeks. He talked to the landowner, and the next day some stakes and orange ribbon surrounded the nest. Before long there were four fuzzy chicks running around. My dad taught us to stand up for things we cared about.

In the fall he drove the family two hours north to leaf-peep and see the Old Man of the Mountain. While other tourists were snapping pictures of the granite face, my dad whispered, “Hey, look at that.

Might be a cedar waxwing.” He taught us the names of birds.

When I was off at college my dad called to tell me there was a funny looking owl in the neighborhood, so I took the first rideshare home. The owl was perched in a tree surrounded by binocular-clad observers and my dad, a practical man, would show up every few hours with coffee and a Havahart trap full of mice he’d caught in the attic. I didn’t know then that a Northern hawk owl is considered one of the Holy Grail birds for North American birders; I just thought it was beautiful (and well fed).

My dad taught me about the fellowship of birding.

When I was newly married, we took a boat ride off the coast of Washington State with my parents and I saw my first tufted puffin. After my kids were grown and my marriage came apart, I traveled down to Phoenix to see my folks and regroup. We took a walk through a nature preserve not far from their retirement community and found a gorgeous vermillion flycatcher. My dad taught me that in times of joy and sorrow, there are always birds.

My dad is the reason I live in one of the bird-iest counties in the country and why everywhere I’ve been I’ve connected with the local birding community. Here on the North Coast, it’s the Redwood Region Audubon Society, a fun group full of friendly people who plan field trips every weekend.

A very happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. I hope on this special day you’ll give your kids — and yourself — the gift of the outdoors. Amble along the beaches with a picnic lunch (maybe not a Thermos of extra hot soup) and stop to build a sand castle. Explore the trails that wind through the redwood forests and take a close look at a banana slug. Or wander through the Arcata Marsh with a bunch of birders. Teach your kids to pause and to notice.

You never know what a difference it might make. ● Sarah Hobart (she/her) is a freelance writer based in Humboldt County.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Klamath/Trinity Rivers 2022 Salmon Season Set

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

W

ith the number of ocean kings destined for the Klamath River trending upwards, Klamath/Trinity river anglers will have a few more fall Chinook salmon to harvest this fall. During last month’s meeting, the California Fish and Game Commission adopted bag and possession limits for the Klamath Basin based on a quota of 2,119 fall-run adults. On the Klamath, the fall season begins Aug. 15 and closes Dec. 31.

The fall season on the Trinity begins Sept.

1 and closes Dec. 31.

On the Lower Klamath, from the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec to the mouth, 1,060 adults will be allowed for sport harvest. The section above the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec to 3,500 feet downstream of the Iron Gate Dam will get 360 adults.

The Spit Area (within 100 yards of the channel through the sand spit formed at the Klamath River mouth) will close when 15 percent of the total Klamath River Basin quota is taken downstream of the U.S. Highway 101 bridge. In 2022, 318 adults can be harvested below the bridge before the closure at the mouth is implemented. The rest of the area below U.S. Highway 101 (estuary) will remain open to recreational fishing.

On the Trinity side, the quota is set at 699 adults. The quota will be split almost evenly; 350 adults for the main stem Trinity downstream of the Old Lewiston

Bridge to the State Route 299 West bridge at Cedar Flat and 349 adults for the main stem Trinity downstream of the Denny Road bridge at Hawkins Bar to the confluence with the Klamath.

The daily bag limit will be two Chinook salmon, no more than one of which may be greater than 23 inches, and a possession limit of six, of which only three may be greater than 23 inches. Once these quotas have been met, no Chinook salmon greater than 23 inches in length may be retained (anglers may still retain a limit of Chinook salmon less than or equal to 23 inches in length).

Klamath/Trinity spring salmon fishery The spring Chinook salmon fishery on the lower Klamath River (downstream of the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec) and Trinity River (upstream of the confluence of the South Fork Trinity River) will open July 1 and will run through Aug. 14 on the Klamath River and through Aug. 31 on the Trinity River. The daily bag limit has been set to one Chinook salmon (no size restrictions), and the possession limit is set at two Chinook salmon.

Additional season information can be found on CDFW’s ocean salmon webpage or by calling CDFW’s ocean salmon hotline at (707) 576-3429 or the Klamath-Trinity River hotline at (800) 564-6479.

The Oceans: Eureka

Boats have been off the water since Saturday due rough water. According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the Pacific halibut fishing was good prior to the latest blow. “Boats were still working in the same 9- or 10-mile area, from the 42 to 51-line,” said Klassen. “The biggest issue remains the number of black cod that you have to deal with. There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of halibut.”

Trinidad

According to Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters, the halibut bite is still good out of Trinidad. “We had one tough day last week when we didn’t get limits, but it’s been good since,” said Wilson. “The best bite is still straight out of the harbor in 250 to 300 feet. The rockfish bite is red-hot, we’re catching lots of black and blue rockfish. The ling bite has tapered off a little.

The crabbing is really good and the crabs are an excellent quality right now.”

Shelter Cove

“Rock fishing has been really good this week, but the salmon are nowhere to be found,” said Jake Mitchell, of Sea Hawk

Sport Fishing. “Some silvers showed up, so hopefully the kings are behind them.

The Hat and Ranch House are two of the better spots for rockfish. When we can get north to Rogers Break, there’s plenty of halibut to be had. We were able to put in limits on Saturday. Salmon fishing out of Fort Bragg has been wide-open since late last week.”

Crescent City

It’s been quiet the last few days due to rough ocean conditions, reports Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. He said, “It looks like we’ll see some calmer water the next few days. When the boats can get out, the rockfish bite continues to produce some good numbers. Either one of the reefs and the Sisters have been good. The big news of the week is a couple California halibut were caught off the rocks at South Beach. Hopefully we’ll start to see them show up in better numbers.”

Summer’s Sweetest Songs

“

By Collin Yeo

H

e’s a moody old man/ song of summer in his hand/ he’s a moody old man.” So begins Kate Bush’s “Delius (Song of Summer),” a gorgeous, impressionistic paean to the English composer Frederick Delius and his assistant Eric Fenby, who was placed into the position of scribe by the master’s deterioration at the ugly hand of advanced syphilis. Delius’ lush and floral soundscapes evoke a world from which summer is birthed by a radiant morning of symphonic, natural rapture.

His oeuvre of music is pure soundtrack visions before the concept of soundtracks even existed in the cinematic sense. I like to listen to his work this time of year, particularly his gorgeous “A Song Before Sunrise.” This week I am thinking about his Florida Suite, which was influenced by the songs and music of African Americans during his time here in the early 1880s. The songs came to his ears over the wind and water around the clock, spirituals and ballads sung by Black workers finding release amid the brutal conditions of the late 19th century American South. I mention this connection because two things happen during the timespan of this week’s piece: Juneteenth and the beginning of summer.

I mention Delius not as a “white lens” from which to observe Black art, but to recognize the radical scope of influence that African American art has had on this planet. Spanning every continent and country, Black American culture has given so much to the world at large, and no amount of praise or recognition can ever really capture its invaluable contribution to humanity. I’m not the right person to discuss the struggle, pain and violence borne by generations of Black Americans.

There are plenty of more intelligent and better-suited people for that job and I suggest you listen to them. I just wanted to take a moment to point out that literally everywhere you look, in every corner of the world, Black American art has left its

beautiful and brilliant imprimatur. I want to observe that and register my profound thanks for it. I simply would not want to live in a world without, for instance, jazz music, gospel, and the blues. A soulless planet could never sustain life.

Enjoy the summer and love your neighbor.

Thursday

There’s a special open mic happening today at 6 p.m. over at Northtown Coffee/Mother’s Cooking Experience. Local nonprofit Youth Art Will Succeed (aka Y.A.W.S.) is presenting a night of BIPOC voices, with featured performances by Flo J Simpson, RAH, All’Love Aundrea and more.

Friday

In anticipation of Juneteenth, Black Humboldt is putting on a Black Healing Through the Arts showcase at Humbrews.

This variety show of local talent includes comedy, hip hop, spoken word and burlesque by performers Josh Barnes, Mo Desir, Elektra Gray, Kemistree, Wess Vega and more. Doors are at 8 p.m. and the price of admission is a mere $10 for this well-packed bill. This is an excellent show with which to christen your weekend.

Saturday

Texas has among its better qualities a history of churning out good, soulful, country songsters. Zane Williams is one

such fellow, and his group The Wilder Blue trades in a hybrid of country-dusted, harmony-laden gems just gleaming with facets of bluegrass, blues and rock. You can hear this group earnestly plucking, strumming and singing the night away at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 7 p.m. ($15).

This is just the sort of show that’s perfect for a summer evening on the backend of a full moon.

Sunday, Juneteenth

When local legends Dale Cash, Jim Lahman, Ron Perry and Bill Moehnke come together to jam, it is sometimes under the handle Blues Through the Years. The group is giving what for at the Morris Graves Museum of Art today at 3 p.m. for its Afternoon of Jazz series. If you would like to hear music from the essential backbone of the American songbook, then grab a spot. The suggested donation is as follows: $5 general, $2 for students, seniors and military, free for museum members and children. I will very likely be there, as I have a well-known bias toward hearing Cash play the bass, having taken a very special bass lesson from this most excellent childhood neighbor back when I was a teenage novice musician.

Monday

Another quiet music night on the redwood edge of the marine world. My advice? Take the time on this federally recognized Juneteenth holiday date to

read about Black American history or the works of a Black artist. I’m looking forward to revisiting one of my favorite collections by one of my favorite essayists, Ishmael Reed’s excellent Shrovetide in Old New Orleans.

Tuesday, Summer Solstice

Festival circuit road dawgs The Hip Abduction comes to town tonight to share its jammy vision of reggae, Afrobeat and electronic dance music with the masses.

When bandleader David New brings his cadre friendly freaks to the stage at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 7 p.m., grooves will fly and dancing will commence ($15).

Wednesday

In the interest of mentioning (at least once) every little byway, nook and oddity out there for your midweek enjoyment at our many fine entertainment establishments, I have landed on this weird little nugget. Did you know Blondie’s, that low-fi little college rock haven just past the edge of Cal Poly Humboldt’s campus, has a weekly figure drawing event at 6 p.m.?

Odd but somehow sensible, this evening of drawing is suitable for artists of all levels of practice. Just make sure to bring a five spot for the model’s time. l Collin Yeo (he/him) lives in Arcata with two enchanted grimalkins, chaotic sisters and masters of the Tail each as lithe and cunning as pixies.

WASHED UP

CALENDAR Continued from previous page

Gimme an Anemone

By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com

O

An anemone with a bit of digested and ejected crab.

ne drawback of beachcombing is the lack of cheerleaders. So, I assembled my own crew of former NFL and CFL cheerleaders who had been fired for various deviant behaviors.

I said, “Welcome. Here are your pompoms. They are designed to look like the giant green sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica.”

The cheerleaders waved their bright green pompoms and chanted, “Give me an A!” And I shouted, “A!” And they proceeded letter by letter, all the way to: “What’s that spell? Anthopleura xanthogrammica!

Woo!” I said, “Giant green anemones range from Alaska to Central America, and they are common in our local tide pools. Despite being squishy, they are tenacious and don’t dislodge easily. So, I don’t find them washed up very often. And when they do wash up, they look like greenish fleshy lumps, not pompoms.”

But because this is my fantasy, I impressed the cheerleaders by immediately finding a washed-up giant green anemone.

I said, “Hey, you cheerleaders, this stranded anemone is still alive. Maybe it was knocked loose by an object in the surf.”

The cheerleaders said, “Let’s go! Let’s go!

Resuscitate that ane-nome — then flagellate our enemy! Woo!” I said, “It’s pronounced, ‘a-nem-oh-nee,’ not ‘a-nen-oh-mee.’”

The cheerleaders said, “Well mister smarty-pants, it’s pronounced pom-pon, not pom-pom. You lookin’ to get flagellated?”

“Shhh, not now,” I said. “Anyway, most washed-up invertebrate animals are difficult to place back into the wild. But anemones are sometimes an exception. This anemone could live 100 years, so we might as well try. I’ll place it here in this rocky tide pool, hopefully close to its home. It will happen slowly but if it can attach its foot to these rocks, it can ‘walk’ around to find the right spot.”

The cheerleaders said, “Mikey always finds the right spot — ’cause he’s hard like iron and totally hot! L-O-L. Woo!” I said, “That’s right. And did you know that while the giant green anemone isn’t a

plant, it gains energy through photosynthesis? Yep, its tissues provide a home for symbiotic microalgae called zoochlorellae and dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae. These single-cell organisms contain chlorophyll, so not only do they contribute nutrients to the anemone, they enhance the anemone’s color. These organisms don’t thrive without sunlight, so giant green anemones living in dark areas may turn pale.”

“Dino … flagellates?” shouted the cheerleaders. “Now we’re talkin’. Dinoflagellate zooxanthellae! If you don’t like ’em, you can go to hell, eh! Woo!” I said, “Anemones are carnivores that eat mussels, crabs, fish, urchins or anything else unlucky enough to encounter their tentacles. Like its relatives the corals and jellyfish, the anemone’s tentacles contain many stinging cells called nematocysts, which can immobilize prey before closing around it and transferring the meal to its stomach.”

The cheerleaders said, “Rah, rah, nematocyst boom bah! Paralyze our foes and eat them raw! Woo!” I continued, “Touching a nematocyst triggers an explosive firing of a tiny, barbed thread that penetrates and holds the victim while delivering venom. However, some sea slugs that eat anemones can swallow the nematocysts without triggering them, and then the sea slugs incorporate these weapons into their own bodies for self-defense.

Also, some fish and crabs develop a slimy layer that prevents the nematocysts from firing. Some slimed-up hermit crabs can even feed on anemone tentacles. Other slimed-up creatures hide among anemones, which form an impenetrable defense from predators.

The cheerleaders said, “Defense, defense, hold that line! Can’t tackle Mikey ’cause he’s covered in slime! Woo!” They had offense and defense backwards, but I let the cheerleaders oil me up anyway. They pumped their pompons and things were getting good. But then a bunch of linebackers tackled me. l Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) is also the author of the book Tigerfish: Traditional and Sport Fishing on the Niger River, Mali, West Africa. It’s available at Amazon or everywhere e-books are sold.

Hustle and Barry

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

HUSTLE. As a foolishly sentimental person of a certain age, I will likely never give up on Adam Sandler. He rose to prominence at a time when Saturday Night Live was an illicit pleasure, at least in my house, something to be enjoyed as much for the show itself as for the accomplishment of sneaking past my sleeping parents to enjoy it. The show, at that time, was emblematic of humor in the 1990s, but it also brought together a cast of unlikely superstars-to-be and subsequently ushered in an era of Hollywood comedy that was unprecedented and tragically short-lived.

And Sandler became the standard-bearer among those weird savants, the jock-nerd among nerd-nerds who would, decades on, prove himself the savviest navigator of the show business landscape. These days, he’s a thriving impresario in a business with seemingly no space for his ilk, an elder statesman.

Before the excruciating fracturing of modern culture had really begun, Sandler created a space for himself by straddling divides: He was quasi-macho, but he traded on vulnerability and goofiness. Among his SNL characters, the Herlihy Boy was a pure nincompoop; Opera Man’s bravado couldn’t conceal his legacy of failure and weakness. Sandler made a career out of playing over the top buffoons and blowhards whose sensitivity was as obvious as their bombast. And in a time that allowed for demonstrations of weakness as statements of character, he became a superstar.

As culture has shifted, co-opting and radicalizing nerdery, sometimes driving Sandler’s own tools of togetherness between us as wedges, the man has sustained. Parlaying his success into a modest media empire, he has created a career that allows him to mostly make silly movies with people he likes in locations they’d all like to visit. He and his friends go on vacation, make a funny movie and get paid.

Not a bad deal, even if the end result isn’t going to win anybody a Nobel Prize.

Along the way, though, Sandler has also made time for roles outside of what we would expect is his comfort zone, working with capital-A artists but still unpacking the conflicting emotions that made him famous in the first place. In Punch Drunk

Hustle

Love (2002), Barry Egan is essentially one of Sandler’s broken little boys (mostly) grown-up and dropped into the real world, where his rages are scarier than they are funny.

Following his revelatory turn as Howard Ratner in the Safdies’ Uncut Gems (2019), Sandler pivoted to Netflix and made Hubie Halloween (2020), a return to form as far as silly voices and beyond-broad comedy. And now, in the vast and varied plain between the two, there is Hustle.

Hustle makes sense, in terms of Sandler’s career trajectory. This is still a passion project (for the basketball-is-life types) with moments of pure levity, but it is also more artistically ambitious than it might be, and grounded in unapologetic earnestness.

Stanley Sugarman (Sandler), a one-time college phenom who derailed his own playing career, has been with the Philadelphia 76ers organization for decades, in varying capacities. An acolyte and confidant of self-made, salt-of-the-Earth team owner Rex Merrick (Robert Duvall), it would seem that Stanley has finally graduated from a decade on the road scouting to a spot on the coaching staff.

But the situation is fluid, as smug business types seem to say, and in the wake of a tragedy he is cast back out into the world of constant air travel and international fast food. Dejected in Spain, absent for yet another of his daughter’s birthdays, Stanley finds a court genius hustling street ball. He, Bo Cruz (Juancho Hernangomez),

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 16, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

awakens something fiery and genuine in Stanley. He’s a true talent, known to no one, a bolt of lightning unwittingly waiting to be bottled. Met with resistance from management, Stanley brings Bo back to Philly surreptitiously with a mission to coach him to a spot in the NBA. In a way, Hustle is a relic of a bygone era. But who better to revive this sort of broad-strokes, overtly emotional underdog story than Sandler? And with director Jeremiah Zagar (We the Animals, 2018) behind the camera and a cast of current NBA stars supporting, the movie becomes something more than it might have any right to be. (It’s got the first genuinely interesting training montage since — what, the ’80s? — for one thing). R. 117M. NETFLIX. BARRY merits a longer discussion but I wanted to at least mention it here, as its third season just concluded. Bill Hader and Alec Berg’s damaged hit man comedy (sometimes it stretches the definition of the genre) is perhaps the best thing happening on television, and it reveals Hader as a student and creator of action moviemaking who, in creating a distinct, quiet cinematic language very much his own, transcends probably anybody working today. (See: Season 2, episode 5, ronny/lilly and Season 3, episode 6 710N for examples.) The supporting cast is also genius. R. HBO MAX, HULU, STREAMING. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Gayle E. Forster, also known as Gayle Elizabeth Forster A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner, Shane Dennis Forster In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt.

The petition for probate requests that Shane Dennis Forster be appointed as personal representa− tive to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 21, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

For information on how to appear remotely for your hearing, please visit https://www.humboldt.courts. ca.gov/ IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Notice to potential bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear owner− ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon− sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop− erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa− tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice to property owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case file number. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement informa− tion is to attend the scheduled sale.

Homework: What is still worth waiting for? What is no longer worth waiting for? Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The whole point for me is to change as much as possible,” says Aries actor Keira Knightley. What?! Is she serious? Her number one aspiration is to keep transforming and transforming and transforming? I guess I believe her. It’s not an entirely unexpected manifesto coming from an Aries person. But I must say: Her extra bold approach to life requires maximum resilience and resourcefulness. If you think that such an attitude might be fun to try, the coming weeks will be one of the best times ever to experiment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet May Sarton relished “the sacramentalization of the ordinary.” What a wonderfully Taurean attitude! There is no sign of the zodiac better able than you Bulls to find holiness in mundane events and to evoke divine joy from simple pleasures. I predict this specialty of yours will bloom in its full magnificence during the coming weeks. You will be even more skillful than usual in expressing it, and the people you encounter will derive exceptional benefits from your superpower.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a message I hope you will deliver to the Universe sometime soon: “Dear Life: I declare myself open and ready to receive miracles, uplifting news, fun breakthroughs, smart love, and unexpected blessings. I hope to be able to give my special gifts in new and imaginative ways. I am also eager for useful tips on how to express my dark side with beauty and grace. One more perk I hope you will provide, dear Life: Teach me how to be buoyantly creative and sensitively aggressive in asking for exactly what I need.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 2021, a Canadian man named Jerry Knott bought a ticket for a lottery. He stuffed it in his wallet and lost track of it. Two months later, he found it again and checked to see its status. Surprise! It was a winner.

His prize was $20 million. I propose we make him your role model for now, my fellow Crabs. Let’s all be alert for assets we may have forgotten and neglected. Let’s be on the lookout for potentially valuable resources that are ripe for our attention.

More info on Knott: tinyurl.com/RememberToCheck LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hundreds of years ago, people in parts of Old Europe felt anxiety about the Summer Solstice. The sun reached its highest point in the sky at that time, and from then on would descend, bringing shorter and shorter days with less and less light. Apprehensive souls staged an antidote: the festival of Midsummer. They burned great bonfires all through the night. They stayed awake till morning, partying and dancing and having sex. Author Jeanette Winterson expresses appreciation for this holiday. “Call it a wild perversity or a wild optimism,” she writes, “but our ancestors were right to celebrate what they feared.” Winterson fantasizes about creating a comparable ceremony for her fears: “a ritual burning of what is coward in me, what is lost in me. Let the light in before it is too late.” I invite you to do something like this yourself, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Elizabeth McCracken says, “I don’t dream of someone who understands me immediately, who seems to have known me my entire life.” What’s more meaningful to her is an ally who is curious, who has “a willingness for research.” She continues, “I want someone keen to learn my own strange organization, amazed at what’s revealed; someone who asks, ‘and then what, and then what?’” I hope you will enjoy at least one connection like that in the coming months, Virgo. I expect and predict it. Make it your specialty!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Stig Dagerman said that when he was sad as a child, his mother kissed him until his mood lightened. When he was older and sad, his mama said, “Sit down at your desk and write a letter to yourself. A long and beautiful letter.” This would be a good task for you right

now, Libra. Whatever mood you are in, I invite you to write a long and beautiful letter to yourself. I further recommend that you carry out the same ritual once every six weeks for the next nine months. This will be a phase of your life when it’s extra crucial that you express soulful tenderness toward your deep self on a regular basis. You may be amazed at how inspirational and transformative these communications will be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometimes, the arrival of a peculiar event in your life is a good sign. It may mean that Fate has sent an intervention to disrupt a boring phase of inertia or a habit-bound grind. An unexpected twist in the plot may signal a divine refreshment. It could be a favorable omen announcing a helpful prod that’s different from what you imagined you needed. I suspect that an experience or two fitting this description will soon materialize in your life story. Be alert for them. Promise yourself you’ll be receptive to their unexpected directives.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarius author Edna O’Brien long ago shed the strict Catholic faith in which she was raised.

But she still harbors spiritual feelings colored by her tradition.

She says, “Ideally, I’d like to spend two evenings a week talking to [novelist] Marcel Proust and another conversing with the Holy Ghost.” I suspect a similar balance of influences will be healthy for you in the days ahead, Sagittarius. My advice is to connect with an inspiration you drew sustenance from while growing up. Spend time equal time consorting with deep-feeling smart people who will stimulate you to rearrange the contents of your rational mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve composed a message for you to deliver to your best allies. It will help you be clear about the nature of your energy exchanges. Say something like this: “I promise to act primarily out of love in my dealings with you, and I ask you to do the same with me. Please don’t help me or give me things unless they are offered with deep affection.

Let’s phase out favors that are bestowed out of obligation or with the expectation of a favor in return. Let’s purge manipulativeness from our dynamic. Let’s agree to provide each other with unconditional support.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Lauren Collins tells us, “Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. But if first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, Aquarius, because the next 12 months will be an excellent time for you to begin becoming bilingual or else to deepen your fluency in a second language. And if you’re not ready to do that, I encourage you to enhance your language skills in other ways. Build your vocabulary, for instance. Practice speaking more precisely. Say what you mean and mean what you say 95 percent of the time.

Life will bring you good fortune if you boost your respect for the way you use language.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean-born Robert Evans has been an amateur astronomer since he was 18. Though he has never been paid for his work and has mostly used modest telescopes, he holds the world record for discovering supernovas—42.

These days, at age 85, he’s still scanning the skies with a 12-inch telescope on his back porch. Let’s make him your role model for the coming months. I have faith you can achieve meaningful success even if you are a layperson without massive funding.

PS: Keep in mind that “amateur” comes from the Latin word for “lover.” Here’s the dictionary’s main definition: “a person who engages in a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial benefit or professional reasons.” ●
