HWMA’s EUREKA RECYCLING CENTER IS PERMANENTLY CLOSING

The Humboldt Waste Management Authority’s Eureka Recycling Center will be permanently closing on August 1, 2022. HWMA staff will be identifying suitable sites for relocation, and it is anticipated that these services will return in early 2023. We understand this closure may cause complications and hardships to our customers and only exacerbates the difficulty with disposing of certain hard to recycle items, but we encourage customers to utilize the below alternate disposal locations during this time.

erndale on a Sunday morning is quiet but not sleepy. Middle-aged couples put in their daily miles walking loops down Main Street, turning on Van Ness to pass the fairgrounds. Gaggles of young moms window shop while clutching coffee cups. Farmers done with their morning chores catch up at the counter of Poppa Joe’s under the watchful eye of taxidermied bucks. The Veteran’s Hall marquee is advertising its monthly pancake breakfast, scheduled for next week. Across the street, the Friends of the Ferndale Library are hosting a book sale. The bells of St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church call the faithful inside for The Divine Service at 10:30 a.m. On the lawn of the church, its sign this Sunday, June 26, says “The LGBTQ Are Being Deceived.” A similar declaration last year, asking people if they had been hurt by LGBTQ culture, inspired the small town’s first-ever Pride March on June 27, 2021. Plans for a second march, almost exactly a year later, were also galvanized by inflammatory statements from the church’s pastor Rever-

end Tyrel Bramwell. “Ferndale’s first pride march was a protest and the turnout was more than I expected that year,” says Kaelan Rivera, who organized this year’s march. “The turnout was more awe-inspiring because of that sign.” Rivera, who came out as transgender in 1998 while living in Redding, is a military veteran who has lived in Ferndale for two years. Rivera says he has always been very open about his identity and displays rainbow flags on his vehicle and home. Things have not always been this way. As recently as 2007, community members attempted to prevent openly gay therapist Stuart Altschuler from conducting sessions at his home office, citing concerns that it might not be appropriate for a “family setting.” The planning commission’s vote to deny Altschuler’s permit was eventually overturned. Altschuler, who still lives and works in Ferndale, says things have changed over the past 15 years. “My experience, since arriving in Ferndale in 2007, is that the support of LGBTQ people has been stronger and more evident,” he says. “The vast majority of Ferndale residents make me feel safe and loved and supported. Unfortunately, there will always be those who prefer ignorance

and hateful belief systems to drive their hatred and attacks on minorities of any kind. I prefer to see the good in Ferndale and deal with the bigots only when I must.” In recent years there has been an increase in visibility for the queer community. A home at the north end of Main Street proudly displays a rainbow flag. Two local businesses — Foggy Bottoms Boys and Patches’ Pastries — put their identities front and center with their marketing efforts. Recently, the Cream City played host to numerous folks in drag and saucy costumes as they attended the Rocky Horror Show at the Ferndale Repertory Theatre. Bramwell, who appears to have leaned into the controversy, chose Pride Month this year to conduct a series of sermons titled “Rescued from Sin’s Rainbow.” On June 23, he added a blog entry to St. Mark’s website titled “Moral and Immoral Cyclones.” In it he references Lynette Mullen’s April 21, 2022 article in The Enterprise describing an incident from 1892 in which several citizens destroyed the home of a local woman accused of prostitution. The Enterprise’s editor at the time, Denis Edeline, referred to the reaction as a “moral cyclone” striking Ferndale. Bramwell perceives the marches as an “immoral cyclone” centered not “on a house of

immorality,” but the church. “On June 26, 2022, another rainbow-striped cyclone of immorality is scheduled to touch down in town,” wrote Bramwell. “What will be Ferndale’s response? … Sexual immorality was once struck by a cyclone in Cream City. Is there enough morality left among us for those winds to swirl yet again? We shall see what the weather will bring. I, for one, believe we will see the gale-force winds of a moral people once again.” When the June 26 march was initially announced, The Enterprise reached out to Bramwell for comment, and he offered to respond via email. We asked about his interpretation of the Bible’s views on homosexuality, why he felt compelled to comment on the subject and how he felt about his views seeming to have encouraged the local LGBTQ community to be more vocal and present in Ferndale. “The Bible says homosexuality is a sin against God’s Law for which Jesus Christ died so that repentant believers in Him would be justified,” Bramwell wrote. “I want my hearers to know the depth of God’s love for them and how far He goes to save them from their sins. I have a vocational duty to address the sinful temptations of our day when they are presented. The LGBTQ presence was in and around Ferndale before I arrived in our community in 2017. I saw it steadily increasing for years before my message revealed its presence in no uncertain terms.” In 2021, Bramwell stood on the church’s steps to address the crowd and was met with chants and kazoos. He alleges on the St. Mark’s website that he and his family have been threatened. This Sunday he is speaking to his congregation about “the simple and the senseless,” quoting from the Book of Proverbs and Corinthians, encouraging this flock to be “daring and direct and unashamed of the Gospel.” Outside, the remaining scrim of the coast-

NCJ WHAT’S GOOD

al fog burns off to reveal the full promise of the day. Around 11:45 a.m., the quiet of the Cream City is broken as more than 100 people, many waving rainbow flags, descend on the lawn in front of City Hall. Some arrive on foot from their homes in Ferndale, others from further away. Pat McCutcheon and Cheryl Rau of Bayside, holding a banner that said, “Celebrating 37 Years Together,” pull up in their bright yellow convertible. “This is our service for the day,” said McCutcheon, waving to her friends from the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Behind her, a young family with a mother, father and two young girls apply sunscreen. The mother wears a shirt that says, “Protect Trans Youth.” Over by the gazebo, Pete Bansen, in a striped shirt and suspenders, shakes hands with a friend. “I’m here to represent the straight, retired farmers in suspenders contingent,” says Bansen, chuckling. He adds that he had an uncle who was gay and that he “suffered.” “Ferndale’s changed quite a bit,” Bansen says. On the sidewalk, Ferndale Police Department officer Cesar Cervantes stands with his thumbs on his belt, gamely answering questions. His vehicle is pulled to the side, its lights flashing silently to give drivers coming into town a reason to pause as march attendees stream across the street. Many have questions about where they’ll be marching. McCutcheon asks if they can drive. Yes, Cervantes says, they can drive slowly, but as the organizers don’t have a permit, the march will have to take place on the sidewalks, not the street. A samba band gathers, members rolling their drumsticks experimentally. The siren atop the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department sounds at noon and Rivera climbs the steps of the gazebo, shouting for people to gather closer so they can

hear him. He lays down some guidelines, saying, “this is a march, this is a protest.” Rivera asks participants in wheelchairs or with mobility problems to go to the front and lead the procession. “Queer people with disabilities do not get seen hardly ever in a parade and they’re going in front,” he says, prompting a round of applause. Rivera also calls for the crowd to “not engage” with detractors. “There will be people who say things, do things, all sorts of foul stuff if you’ve never been to a parade,” he says. “We send them peace and love and we keep marching.” Rivera’s warning turns out to be unnecessary. At 12:15 p.m., the march begins, with Renee Crandall and her family, with one member using a wheelchair, at the front. “I am supporting myself, and I am supporting my people, and I am supporting my moms,” says Crandall, “All women, all genders all around the world, who want to be here but can’t be here. They have to be hidden or they can’t express themselves because of their family … my father disowned me because I’m a lesbian. There’s nothing I can do about it but love him from afar.” Crandall added that she thinks Ferndale is a great place to have a pride parade and “spread kindness.” “It’s a beautiful place, it has history,” she says. “I think it’s a great place to teach old dogs new tricks.” The marchers snake their way down Main Street, past the Cat Shack, then across the intersection at Shaw as the samba beat throbs. Cheryl Etter stands on the corner in front of Ferndale Pizza, clapping her hands as she watches. “I don’t believe you judge other people,” says Etter softly when asked why she came out to support the march. “You let people be who they are.” In front of Tuyas restaurant, brunching

tourists look up from their sopes and enchiladas as the colorful crowd streams past. Two employees stand in the doorway, also taking it in. Rau and McCutcheon are still inching their way up Main in their bright yellow car. Another Ferndale Police officer is waiting at the intersection of Main and Bluff, lights flashing to alert northbound traffic. “Happy Pride!” shouts a woman from the sidewalk, receiving a cheer. The marchers turn again to cross at Brown Street and a pickup hauling a horse trailer brakes to let them pass. The driver flashes a peace sign out the window. The beat of the samba band goes on and on. Just a few blocks away, at Firemen’s Park, the blanket of afternoon quiet drops once again. Tables are set up behind the bocce ball court with a handful of vendors waiting to sell tie-dye rainbow T-shirts and jewelry. A radio plays Sting’s greatest hits at a serene volume. The entire Petersen family is gathered beneath the shade of pop-up awning on folding chairs, waiting to hand out ice cream. No, they say, they don’t have anyone in the march. “We’re just here to be of service,” one says. Back down Main Street, the march has returned to City Hall and dissolved. Several people are headed north to the park, others are starting their cars. A Suburban pulls up next to a truck to give it a jumpstart. The steps of the church are empty, but two teenagers pose in front of the sign. One wears a short plaid skirt and fishnets, a rainbow flag draped over their shoulders. Their friends snap pictures. The sky above is clear and blue, not a cloud to be seen. l Linda Stansberry (she/her) is a staff writer at the Journal.

The Overturning of Roe and What to Do Now

e knew it was coming and still the news launched a million expressions of fury across the media landscape and onto the streets. We’ve known this was coming for years, decades. The steady march of the Republican party as it took over school boards, rallied candidates for local offices, blocked judicial appointments at all levels until it could appoint those who would do its bidding. The agenda has always been the same. The GOP has created a brilliant blueprint for minority rule and on Friday, June 24 won a major victory against women and those with uteruses, whose autonomy its members have demonstrated they hate. Against the people they do not believe deserve healthcare. Against the people who bear the burden of forced parenting, racism and poverty. Against the people who’ve been raped. Having failed to stop them, what are we going to do now? Grab your placard and yell in the street if that calls to you, yes. Let our anger be seen but don’t, for the love of all things good, stop there. Listen, here is the difference between those who believe in individual freedom and those who would reserve all rights only for those who are cis male, white, rich: The latter have lawmakers on their side. Senate Republicans operate without shame and in full commitment to their party’s goals, which include, explicitly, taking away the rights of women, of non-straight men and of everyone not-white. On the other side, the Democrats, despite representing more people and winning the popular vote every year since 1996, continuously fail to exhibit such strength and commitment. What that means is, if all you care about is forcing people to have babies, you barely have to work at it at all — your boys are all over it. But if you think we should have self-determination

over our own bodies, holding on to that right is on you. One of the most effective ways to help with any cause is to give money to organizations successfully supporting it. As of this typing, five states have outlawed abortion with eight more expected to follow suit momentarily. Whatever California’s problems — and we have a lot of them — the criminalizing of abortion is not among them. That frees me up to donate to funds and places specifically aimed at helping people less lucky. In Kentucky, for example, where I set up a recurring donation directly to Planned Parenthood’s Lexington branch. www.thecut. com has the best list I’ve found to directly assist those most in need. Let’s talk about recurring donations, a useful way to support the work of organizations looking out for us. Even small monthly donations add up and enable groups to budget further into the future. Let’s also talk about amounts. No one who is truly struggling to pay their bills should feel shamed into donating beyond their means. But, as Australian philosopher Peter Singer would say, a lot of us have more than we need to live a comfortable life. We could be, and should be, saving lives with the excess. Between Netflix, HBO and Amazon Prime, I spent about $50 per month on streaming services. Is a person’s right to make their own health care decisions more or less important? Is protecting victims of rape from having to bear unwanted children more or less valuable? We’re not going to win if we’re unwilling to sacrifice. Not until we overcome gerrymandering and an otherwise rigged system, which doesn’t seem poised to happen any time soon. The other part of this equation is showing up. But again, if you live in a blue part of California, where do you show up to? What’s the ask? Well, here’s something to think

VOTE FOR US Best Optometry Ofﬁce

about: As the CalMatters story on page 11 notes, “40 percent of California counties do not have any abortion clinics.” The state legislature has put forth a package of 13 bills to help advance access within the state. Check it out, then call your state senator and assembly person and tell them to vote yes on each of those bills. Call every single person who represents you at every level and ask them their position on abortion. Make it clear you will not vote for anyone who is not 100 percent prochoice. Report out on social media, tagging the politician, give kudos for being on the right side, announce your commitment to voting them out if they’re on the wrong. Can’t find a pro-choice candidate to vote for? Run. Show up at the demonstrations. Follow what the activist organizations are

doing and find out where you can plug in. Need more? Google “how to help women get abortions.” A long list of possibilities will appear. Look, this is a lot. I know. And when you want to burn it to the fucking ground, “donate and call your representatives and do a Google search” is a few million miles short of cathartic. Why bother taking part in a broken, corrupt system? Fair question. The only answer I can give right now is we have to fight on all fronts. So, speak out, donate, call your reps, do your research, show up where you’re needed and, importantly, hold on to hope and each other. ● Jennifer Savage (she/her) is a political strategist and mother of three.

‘Step into Your Power’ By Sharonne Blanck and Lorna Bryant newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

ast week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down Roe v. Wade was a massive blow to reproductive rights and a direct attack on the health and safety of women, people with uteruses and basic human rights. This ruling will affect all people, however, Black people stand to be disproportionately impacted by the court’s ruling. According to the Guttmayer Institute, most abortions in the United States are obtained by people of color (37 percent Black, 22 percent Hispanic and 8 percent “Other,” meaning Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans and those of mixed race). This is coupled with the number of people who die during childbirth. A 2020 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report states the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic Black people was more than 55 deaths per 100,000 live births — almost three times the rate for non-Hispanic white people. The rate for Black people increases with age (13.8 deaths per 100,000 for people under age 25; 22.8 for those aged 25-39; and 107.9 for those aged 40 and over). Separately, these statistics are alarming; together, these rates amplify the crisis of reproductive health of Black people. The future of our inalienable rights hangs in the balance. The overturning of Roe v. Wade appears to be an ominous foreshadowing of other attacks that may lie ahead. The conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court appears to have its sights on reversing other laws our country has fought hard to set in place. In his concurring opinion of the Roe v. Wade overturning, Justice Clarence

Thomas hinted at the need to revisit samesex marriage and birth control rulings. We must take action. Step into your power. Identify your areas of influence and step into them. It is all right to be nervous and even scared. Lean into it. Run for office. Step into a leadership role. Support current leaders and organizations doing the work and celebrating our culture, beauty and strength. Donate your time and/ or your money to organizations that align with your values. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel — seek out groups and organizations already doing the work. Connect with Eureka NAACP, Centro de Pueblo, HAPI (Humboldt Asians & Pacific Islanders in Solidarity), Planned Parenthood and Cooperation Humboldt. The fight can sometimes be daunting. This is a marathon, not a sprint. It is essential to focus on joy and well-being — we are here to be glorious, not solely to fight. Tap into the resources from Black Humboldt and HC Black Music and Arts Association to cultivate your emotional health while doing this work. Complacency is a convenience we can no longer lean on. Change rarely occurs overnight. It takes work and time, but the reward makes the effort worth it. Time to work! Time to fight! We can do it — together. ● Sharonne Blanck (she/her) is the Eureka NAACP president. Lorna Bryant (she/her) is the Eureka NAACP media coordinator.

he U.S. Supreme Court issued one of its most significant gun law rulings in more than a decade on June 23, tossing out New York state’s tight restrictions on who can carry a concealed gun in public. Gun rights activists are celebrating the 6-3 decision, while advocates for stricter gun laws decry it. Both agree that California’s similar law may be next to be challenged. The ruling likely marks the most dramatic expansion of gun rights in the United States since 2008, when the Supreme Court clarified for the first time that the Second Amendment’s right “to keep and bear” firearms applies to individual citizens, not just state militia members. But that ruling only affirmed the right for “self-defense within the home,” leaving states with wide discretion over whether and how to restrict guns elsewhere. This ruling brings that constitutional right outside the home. Most states either issue concealed carry licenses upon request or do not require licenses at all. But in eight states, applicants are required to show a compelling need before being granted permission to tote around a concealed firearm. Until today’s ruling, New York was one of those states. California is another. How easily a Californian is able to obtain a concealed weapon permit depends on where they live. That’s because in California these licenses are issued by local law enforcement — either city police chiefs or county sheriffs. And while state law requires applicants to demonstrate “good cause,” local law enforcement officials have wide latitude to define what

that means. In counties with Republican sheriffs — Sacramento and Tehama, for example — permits are issued to all qualified applicants so long as they pay the necessary fees, take a firearms safety class as required by state law and don’t have a criminal record. San Francisco sits on the opposite end of the spectrum. According to county sheriff guidelines, an applicant living in the city must “supply convincing evidence” that they are at “significant risk of danger” that local law enforcement “cannot adequately address” and “cannot reasonably be avoided by alternative measures.” The court’s ruling doesn’t immediately invalidate restrictive concealed carry policies like those in San Francisco. But it does make legal challenges against California’s entire discretionary system much more likely to succeed. Chuck Michel, president of the California Rifle & Pistol Association (the state’s National Rifle Association chapter), said he plans to file a supplemental brief in an existing challenge against Los Angeles County’s concealed carry licensing system. At the same time the nation’s highest court expands the scope of the Second Amendment, Congress is on the verge of adding a few modest extra guardrails. In response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in which a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers with a semi-automatic rifle, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed a bipartisan gun bill over the objections of the National Rifle Association. Signed by President Joe Biden on June 25, the law ratchets up some background

After Roe

What Happens to Abortion in California? By Alexei Koseff and Kristen Hwang, CalMatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

he constitutional right to abortion in the United States is no more. June 24 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down its landmark Roe v. Wade precedent in a 5-4 decision, ending nearly 50 years of guaranteed abortion access for American women. The historic ruling has been expected since early May, when a draft of the opinion was leaked, and was widely anticipated long before that as conservative justices tilted the court. The fight over abortion rights now returns to the states, where it played out five decades ago, with the procedure immediately set to become nearly or entirely illegal in almost half of them and several more bans likely to follow. California is moving in the opposite direction, ramping up legal protections for abortion providers and pouring resources into expanding access as clinics prepare for a possible surge of patients traveling from other states to terminate their pregnancies. Here is how the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will play out in California:

Abortion will be a major focus of November election

Expect to hear a lot about abortion rights in the months ahead, as candidates tout their endorsements from Planned Parenthood and flood the airwaves with advertisements warning of the bleak future for access if their opponents win. Since the draft ruling leaked last month, Democrats in California and across the country have latched onto protecting abortion rights as a key issue for the 2022 midterm elections. With decades of public polling showing that a majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, it has put the party back on the offensive as it faces mounting voter dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden and withering Republican attacks over inflation and crime.

“I hope that people are enraged,” said state Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat who ran a women’s health clinic before entering politics. “While we feel like we have better protections here and California is different, I hope they’re enraged and they understand what’s at stake,” she told CalMatters. A poll conducted last month by Monmouth University found that abortion was nearly tied with economic policy as the top concern for voters nationwide, a considerable increase from four years ago driven by its rising importance among Democrats. Another recent survey from UC San Diego asked Californians whether they planned to vote in November, before and after reading an article about the possibility of a national abortion ban if the Roe decision is overturned; researchers determined it had a significant mobilizing effect on independent voters. The potential for Republicans to pursue a national abortion ban should they win back control of Congress is likely to feature prominently in a number of battleground House races across the state. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have already made abortion rights central to their re-election campaigns, and even some candidates with less of a direct connection to ensuring abortion access, including Democratic state controller hopeful Malia Cohen, have tried to raise alarms about the beliefs of their GOP opponents. Abortion rights will also literally be on the ballot in California in November with a measure that, if approved by voters, would enshrine “reproductive freedom” in the state Constitution. Though California already protects abortion access through a constitutional right to privacy, Atkins, who is shepherding the amendment through the Legis-

lature, said a more explicit guarantee is important as legal battles over the future of reproductive rights continue. “That is my biggest fear. You find one judge somewhere in California who rules and our whole right to privacy as it currently exists in California is in question,” Atkins said, though she acknowledged there were additional political benefits: “I sure as hell hope that it’s going to drive turnout.”

More legal support for abortion providers

As dozens of conservative states laid the groundwork for the end of Roe, passing abortion bans triggered by the Supreme Court ruling, California has been scrambling to build a bulwark for reproductive rights and accommodate a potential influx of patients from beyond its borders. Last fall, Newsom convened the Future of Abortion Council, a coalition of reproductive rights, health and justice groups, to explore how to make the state a “sanctuary” for abortion. Its recommendations, released in December, formed the basis for a sweeping package of more than a dozen bills currently moving through the Legislature. They include Atkins’ Senate Bill 1375, which would increase the number of providers by allowing some nurse practitioners to independently perform first-trimester abortions without a doctor’s supervision, and Assembly Bill 1918 by Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, a Costa Mesa Democrat, which would create

a “reproductive health service corps” for underserved parts of the state. Several measures would protect doctors from legal and financial penalties if they travel to other states to perform abortions or treat out-of-state patients: AB 1666 by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, an Orinda Democrat, won final legislative passage June 23 and would nullify civil judgments from other states. AB 2091 by Assemblymember Mia Bonta, an Alameda Democrat, would prohibit medical providers and health insurers from sharing information in cases that seek to penalize abortion. AB 2626 by Assemblymember Lisa Calderon, a Whittier Democrat, would prevent the state medical board from suspending or revoking the license of a physician who is punished in another state for performing an abortion in accordance with California law. Abortion opponents have showed up at the state Capitol in force to protest AB 2223 by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, an Oakland Democrat. Seeking to protect Californians from overzealous law enforcement and district attorneys who may be hostile to abortion rights, it would end a requirement that coroners investigate the cause of fetal deaths resulting from suspected self-induced abortions, clarify that women cannot be held criminally or civilly liable for pregnancy loss or abortion, and create an ability to sue prosecutors and others who violate that protection. “We’re covering a lot of ground,” Atkins said. “As disheartening as this reality is that we have to prepare for…given all that we’re Continued on next page »

doing to shore up our protections and access to services, we will be ready.” Newsom has expressed support for many of the proposals — and already signed legislation earlier this year to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for abortions in health insurance plans. Though some would take effect immediately if approved, including the three bills expanding legal protections for doctors, others would not become law until January.

Out-of-state influx, but how big?

With Roe toppled, California has become the nearest state with abortion access for approximately 1.3 million out-of-state women of reproductive age, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights think tank. That’s a nearly 3,000 percent increase triggered by Arizona’s historical abortion ban that criminalizes the procedure and went into effect when the Supreme Court announced its decision. Using women of reproductive age as a proxy for abortion demand is imprecise at best, and Guttmacher’s projection is based solely on driving distance. But without statewide data on abortions, it’s nearly impossible to estimate how many people may now rely on California clinics. Even before the June 24 Supreme Court decision, California providers and advocates reported serving women from states farther than Arizona. “One of the things we’ve seen is a cascading effect. The wait times for appointment availabilities increase in border states, and they travel to other states to get the care,” said Lisa Matsubara, general counsel for Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. In the first four months following Texas’ controversial six-week ban last year, Planned Parenthood clinics in California performed abortions for approximately 6,000 out-of-state patients, Matsubara said. Patients from out of state were three times more likely than California patients to be seeking abortions rather than other health care during the same time period. In 2021, ACCESS Reproductive Justice, which gives grants to women to offset the cost of the procedure and remove barriers such as travel and lodging, helped people from 18 states, said Jessica Pinckney, the group’s executive director. Pinckney, who is among the coalition of abortion advocates supporting the 13-bill package in the Legislature, said advocates have been clear with lawmakers that planning for the unknown is difficult, but providers have done their best to collectively estimate what access gaps remain in California and what they expect to see in

the near future. “There’s so much you can’t anticipate,” Pinckney said. “In a world where half of the states have banned abortion outright or nearly outright, the barriers are only going to be greater.”

Increase the number of providers?

Despite California’s reputation as a reproductive health safe haven, 40 percent of California counties do not have any abortion clinics. Lawmakers are pushing to increase the number of abortion providers by offering financial incentives and streamlining regulations that govern who can perform abortions. Newsom’s proposed budget includes $20 million to give scholarships and loan repayment options to clinicians who commit to providing reproductive health care services. The Legislature’s spending plan invests an additional $21 million in existing reproductive health workforce programs and commits a one-time $20 million investment for recruiting and training clinicians that work at reproductive health centers. Another measure aimed at allowing nurse practitioners to perform first trimester abortions without physician supervision has been billed as a way to increase the number of abortion providers, but even advocates say the impact may be limited. In 2013, California adopted a measure allowing nurse practitioners, physician assistants and certified nurse midwives to perform first trimester abortions after receiving special training. Since then, however, training opportunities have remained limited. “Very few nurse practitioners have been trained since the law went into effect,” said Debbie Bamberger. Bamberger was the first nurse practitioner in the state to be trained to perform abortions and has been a nurse practioner for 28 years and works for Planned Parenthood in Oakland. Her training was conducted as part of a research study that assessed whether clinicians other than doctors could safely perform aspiration abortions — a procedure that uses suction during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Forty clinicians were trained during the course of that study, and Bamberger said not many more have been trained since. Part of the problem is nursing schools and physicians assistant programs do not have abortion curriculum or training opportunities for students who want to learn the procedure. Most training is limited to medical residency programs for physicians, who don’t want to give up their limited

spots to other kinds of clinicians. Bamberger said her clinic has trained five nurse practitioners to perform abortions in the past two years and Planned Parenthood of Northern California does not offer widespread training. “It’s mostly trying to remove barriers but it’s not necessarily going to hugely increase access if there’s still no training available,” she said.

The state is investing in abortion access

Both the Legislature’s Democratic leadership and Newsom administration have made it clear they’re willing to commit a significant amount of the state’s record surplus to abortion rights. In his latest budget proposal, Newsom pledged $125 million to reproductive health care, including $60 million to directly subsidize the cost of providing abortions to low-income or uninsured patients. Roughly a third of that money is reserved for low- and middle-income Californians enrolled in the state’s insurance exchange, Covered California, but $40 million can be used to reimburse abortion providers for procedures conducted on anyone who can’t pay — even those from out of state. His proposal, which is supported by the Legislature, also includes $20 million to improve physical and digital security at abortion clinics and $15 million for community-based organizations to provide sexual and reproductive health education. The Legislature’s spending plan goes even further, earmarking an additional $156 million in reproductive health spending to train more providers, increase funding for clinics that serve Medi-Cal patients, and open an abortion “Safe Haven” pilot program in Los Angeles. One headline-grabbing investment the Legislature and governor haven’t agreed on yet, is the creation of the California Abortion Support Fund. The fund would give grants to organizations that help defray travel, lodging, child care and other costs that advocates say prevent women from getting to an abortion clinic. While the money would go to California-based nonprofits, women seeking abortions from any state could apply for grants. “Some of the hesitation I’ve heard from legislators and the administration is it’s not common for us to provide practical support,” said Pinckney, with ACCESS Reproductive Justice. “But there’s no other health care that is banned and is time sensitive. They can’t wait six months to save the money.” l This story was originally published by CalMatters.

‘We Are Not Going Back’

Humboldt County reacts to End of Roe v. Wade By Kimberly Wear and Ryan Hutson

undreds gathered in Humboldt County to protest the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, joining hundreds of thousands across the nation in decrying the ruling that abruptly ended nearly five decades of constitutional protection. Until June 24, the 1973 landmark case was widely considered settled legal precedent grounded in the fundamental right to privacy afforded by the U.S. Constitution. While safe and legal access to abortion remains secure in California, the decision now places control over one of the nation’s most divisive issues back in the hands of state lawmakers, who can now determine a woman’s ability to terminate a pregnancy. That, according to Planned Parenthood Northern California, threatens “the right to safe and accessible abortion for millions of people nationwide” and will result “in over half our country’s states moving to wipe out abortion access.” Carol Sher, one of the hundreds who attended a June 24 community protest at the Humboldt County Courthouse with

Clergy for Choice, said she found the court’s decision “outrageous.” “I can’t believe they will give an 18-yearold an AR-15 and they will take away women’s rights over their own bodies,” she said. “It’s not about life, it’s about power over women.” Also protesting was Cynthia Packar, a retired registered nurse who’s lived in the area since the 1970s, said she expects a lot of “gray-haired women” will be out demonstrating “because we remember what it was like before abortion was available — the women dying, the women bleeding.” “Stopping legalized abortion doesn’t stop abortion, it just stops safe abortion,” she said. “And it was a sad day for women when this decision came down.” A sole counter protester wearing a “Make America Pro-Life Again” stood across the street. “I think it’s a wonderful day. It’s progress for America to take that step towards protecting innocent human life, and this is, it’s kinda a big deal,” said Roger Rees, a deputy district attorney who said he was there in his capacity as a community member.

North Coast representatives also weighed in on the decision, which had been widely anticipated following a leak of the draft opinion in May, with Congressman Jared Huffman describing the court majority as “extreme” and “out of touch.” “A cascade of dire consequences and restrictions will now sweep across the country, falling hardest on those who already face the most barriers to care: Black and Brown women, folks who can’t afford care, young people and LGBTQ people, and women suffering domestic violence are now all at the highest risk,” Huffman said, vowing to keep fighting in Congress to restore reproductive healthcare rights. California voters will also decide in November whether to codify the right to access abortion and contraception in the state Constitution with an amendment that will be on the upcoming election’s ballot. State Sen. Mike McGuire said he was “livid” and state Assemblymember Jim Wood described June 24 as “a very dark day in America.” Continued on next page »

Two days after the opinion came out, a second protest took place at the Arcata Plaza, with a few speakers, including Councilmember Meredith Matthews, one of the organizers, describing the impact the decision had on them, as well as calling for people to make sure they know where candidates stand on this issue and other fundamental rights. Matthews took a moment to encourage young people, especially, to get involved in their communities, to vote and to run for office, pledging her help to anyone who was interested. “You have a voice,” she said. “Please use it.”

The crowd of about 150 then moved to the eastern corners of the square, holding signs with messages including, “I’m Not Ovary-Acting,” “No Forced Birth” and “Women’s Liberation Now,” receiving mostly positive responses from passing drivers, many of whom honked and fist pumped their approval, a few blowing kisses. Eureka residents Amber Pawloski and Michelle Huckaby stood next to each other, at times finishing each other’s sentences as they explained their need to stand up against the stripping away of women’s reproductive rights and to stand up in solidarity with women in other parts of the country who no longer have the same protections available in places like California. “We are doing this for others,” Pawloski said. “Government should not be regulating our bodies,” Huckaby said. “It’s our choice. We have more regulations on our bodies than guns. It’s ridiculous. We are mad. … We are not going back.” “This is just the beginning,” Huckaby added. “What we want to know is, what’s next?”l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the digital editor at the Journal.

Oyster Fest’s Rocky Return By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

n hour into the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival, the lines for oysters at the Obento stall stretched across the battered grass and under the red and blue striped tent where local food businesses were tabling. The shade was a relief on a sunny day that promised traditional Oyster Fest sunburns, but those in the queue were in for a test of patience and the charm of their company, since those at the front of the line reported waiting 45 minutes or more to place orders. It was the same story in the next line and the next, where attendees, nearly all unmasked, with commemorative steel cups stood packed together in clumping lines that one had to cut through to reach the music stage. Scanning the offerings from the back of the stalls, where oysters popped on the grills and cooks shucked frantically, I wondered idly what kind of bribe it would take to buy a Kumamoto under the table. Finally, I gave up and headed to Brio to enjoy the smoked and

fried oyster special on the shaded patio. After two years of virtual and dispersed iterations meant to keep up community spirit and promote local food producers amid the pandemic, the festival welcomed an estimated capacity crowd of 5,000 revelers to the field in the Creamery District for a $15 entry fee, halting ticket sales at 3 p.m. When the grills cooled, the stage cleared and the tents came down, however, the reviews were harsh. Hour-long waits for food and drink, not enough shade, a scant four oyster booths, the admission fee and missing the broad and accessible plaza location were the top complaints in Arcata Main Street’s Facebook page, as well as the Journal’s, issues echoed in conversations over the following days. Music from the stage, it seems, can only soothe the hot, hungry and thirsty so much. It’s hardly the first time Arcata Main Street has taken a flogging for its main fundraising event, which fills the coffers for the rest of the year’s events. Previous

years have seen tumult over an exclusive deal with out-of-town SeaQuake beer, parking, intoxicated attendees, crowds and fencing off the plaza. This year a pair of beer booths tapped out more than 40 kegs from Lost Coast Brewery, Six Rivers Brewery, Mad River Brewing Co., Eel River Brewing Co. and Humboldt Cider Co. But, points out Shoshanna, one of the main organizers of the event, filling steel cups is slower than passing out pre-filled plastic ones destined for landfill, which is what the five beer booths serving the typical festival crowd of 15,000 usually do. Shoshanna admits more food vendors would have shortened lines but says it was tough getting them on board. Two oyster stalls dropped out, leaving Nori, Obento, North Bay Shellfish and Sammy’s Barbecue, as well as non-oyster eateries Oak Deli & Brewery and Rax on Rax wings. Some of the 45 vendors from the 2019 oyster festival have shut down or stopped doing events. Others are fighting to stay afloat in an industry hit hard by COVID. Aside from the $500 booth fee, the requirements of a mobile setup and the marathon of feeding the masses, it was a big ask for restaurants already facing staffing problems and shrinking margins. For many, it was a safer bet to participate by serving specials in their usual locations. “They were trying to figure out whether to stretch and go or just stay where they are,” she says, adding it’s not easy “believing in an event that hasn’t happened in two years.” She’s hopeful the strong attendance this year will give vendors more confidence they can turn a profit at next year’s event. Festival coordinator Matthew Cook, a 20-year veteran of the North Country Fair and Reggae on the River, echoes her tone of resignation. “Every food vendor that wanted to come came and we just couldn’t get anymore,” he says. “People just aren’t geared up to do this kind of thing anymore.” The annual Best Oyster competition, no longer requiring a booth at the event, drew seven entrants, some representing restaurants, others independent. Gaby Long of Taste of Bim won Best Hot Oyster with her Caribbean curry with mango topping. Best Cold went to the Nosh’s Ryan Clair who served an oyster with nasturtium leaf, green apple, horseradish cream sauce, dill and watercress oil, wasabi and almond oil. Norberto Angon from

Nori took Best Presentation with an oyster boat garnished with carved fruit. Named for the local chef who died this year, the Dave Griswald Best Overall went to home cook David Orluck for his Umami Tsunami raw shooter with mirin, ponzu, Sriracha, scallion and quail egg, and his Surf and Turf hot oyster with wagyu beef, chimichurri and a home-raised and cured duck egg yolk. Walter Rubke from Mazzotti’s took the Unleashed Award with a raw oyster served with honey, homemade threemonth champagne vinaigrette, apple, mango, cilantro, shallot, lemon and sugar. It’s hard to imagine composing some of these entries with speed in a hot tent on the plaza. As for the hustle at the Creamery field, Shoshanna says, “I think people were doing as much as they could as fast as they could,” noting a few key organizers had been out with COVID in the past months. “People were frustrated with long lines at the event but there were so many people also running around and having a good time.” She’s not wrong. I was especially struck by younger attendees walking around smiling in high festival fashion. Perhaps as the world crumbles, Gen Z has necessarily evolved to enjoy a party amid high temperatures and limited access to food and drink. “I know what we accomplished and I know how difficult it was to accomplish anything this year,” says Cook, particularly since details weren’t solidified until February. He says some of the criticism is “valid,” but, “A lot of people are talking about things they know nothing about … . I’ve done this so long, I just kind of let this stuff roll off.” He won’t be back for 2023 and has this advice for future organizers: “I think things will be a little bit easier next year. More people will be able to help and participate. Get an early start. Like now.” Shoshanna, who’s moved on to a new post as youth services outreach coordinator for the Humboldt County Library, won’t be returning either. But she’ll be rooting for the event and is characteristically optimistic. “It’s a comeback event … and it is a bumpy ride.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Saving the Humboldt Marten By Katherine Larson getout@northcoastjournal.com

he Humboldt marten is about the size of a 4-month-old human baby and adorable, with small, round ears, a fluffy tail and a button nose. Don’t let these looks fool you. This member of the weasel family is a voracious predator that fights hard for a spot in the animal kingdom, taking down large rodents such as squirrels and woodrats. The elusive, nocturnal critters are hard to spot, even for those researching them. “Don’t expect to see one,” warns Micaela Gunther, a behavioral ecologist researching martens at Cal Poly Humboldt, to her master’s students. Its dwindling population — it’s listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act — doesn’t help, as it has been extirpated from 95 percent of its historic range. Unfortunately, we’re not just at risk of losing the Humboldt marten but also the very thing that could save them: traditional ecological knowledge or TEK. TEK is the body of expertise accumulated by Indigenous people concerning their environment and relates to both a spiritual and ecological understanding of nature. According to Tiana Clausen-Williams, a Yurok tribal member and director of the Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department, the loss of ancient knowledge is the reality for many Indigenous tribes in the U.S. With colonization came relocation, and the Yurok were removed from their homes, no longer allowed to speak their language, wear traditional clothes or sing traditional songs. “My own uncle was sent to Riverside. … The graveyards full of children are astounding,” remarks Clausen-Williams. “Many folks didn’t pass down traditional knowledge because they were so scarred by these experiences. They didn’t want their children to have to go through that.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Pacific Halibut Continue to Chew Up Baits By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

he halibut bite over the weekend picked up right where it left off, with anglers pulling em’ over the rails at breakneck speeds. Boats were back on the water Saturday following last week’s windy conditions. And the Pacific halibut were ready and willing to take any bait sent their way. It’s been a while since we’ve seen fishing this good, and there’s a good chance it may come to an early end. With an entire month left before salmon season opens, which will command much of the attention, there’s a good chance the 38,740 net pound quota will be gobbled sometime in July. So, if you haven’t yet to get in on the action, you better make it quick. This fishery won’t last long. Through June 19, CDFW projected 8,771 pounds had been caught. But those numbers will be sure to skyrocket after the wide-open bite the last few days. To view the latest catch projection information, visit www.wildlife. ca.gov/Conservation/Marine/Pacific-Halibut#31670772-in-season-tracking.

July 2 is statewide free fishing day On Saturday July 2, people may fish California’s waters without a sport fishing license. All regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect. On Free Fishing Days, every angler must have the appropriate report card if they are fishing for steelhead, sturgeon, spiny lobster, or salmon in the Smith and Klamath-Trinity river systems.

The Oceans: Eureka

Halibut is still the focus out of Eureka, and the fishing is really good reports Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “Not everyone is getting limits every day, it’s about being in the right place at the right time,” said Klassen. “If those line up, you’ll do well. The bite has moved slightly north,

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 30, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

with most of the fish coming between the 48 and 54 lines. The fish are a little bigger now, with most falling in the 20-to-50-pound range. The good news is the black cod seemed to have vanished, which allows you to get the bait to the bottom. It looks like we’re in for windy conditions Wednesday through Friday.”

Trinidad

According to Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters, the Pacific halibut bite out of Trinidad is about as good as it gets. “I think roughly 30 boats launched Sunday and I heard just about all the boats caught halibut,” said Wilson. “Most of the action is happening straight out and 265 feet seems to be the magic number. The rockfish bite remains wideopen, with the area between Cone and Turtle Rock being one of the better spots at the moment. The lingcod bite has been excellent, as well, with limits coming quickly most days. The crab bite seems to be dependent on the weather, but the customers are still going home with a few each trip.”

Shelter Cove

“Salmon fishing remains very slow at the Cove with only a few being caught each day,” said Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “The rockfish bite is consistently good and we’re getting easy limits. The ling cod have been a little tougher to come by. The Hat, Ranch House and Rogers Break are all producing solid action.”

Crescent City

“The ocean has been nice the last few days and the rockfish bite has been excellent,” said Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. “California halibut have finally shown up with a few being caught daily off of South Beach by kayaks trolling anchovies and guys fishing off the rocks. The minus tides are producing excellent clamming conditions for the just reopened razor clam fishery. There’s lot of limits being reported, and good tides will stick around through the fourth. A few Pacific halibut are being caught at the South Reef along with plenty of Petrale Sole.”

Red Bluff resident Juan Nava landed a giant Pacific halibut while fishing out of Trinidad Monday aboard the Wind Rose. The big fish taped out at 58-inches and was estimated to weigh in the 90-pound range. Photo courtesy of Curt Wilson/Wind Rose Charters

Salmon season opens July 1 on parts of Klamath and Trinity Rivers The spring Chinook salmon fishery on the lower Klamath River (downstream of the Highway 96 bridge at Weitchpec) and Trinity River (upstream of the confluence of the South Fork Trinity River) opens Friday, 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 set at two Chinook salmon.

Boom Times

Photo Days

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

his week’s headline might be a little sarcastic and only half-referencing what will undoubtedly be a spectacular fireworks display on Monday evening. Many people are really hurting and upset right now. It’s hard to look at the disorder in our world and find much hope. As someone who could be referred to as a “geriatric millennial,” (although I prefer “Oregon Trail millennial”), I am perhaps a little more used to the bad times than some of my fellow citizens, having known mostly bad times since the first election I could vote in was obviated by a partisan Supreme Court. My adult life has been set against a series of crises and calamities, and if you don’t believe me, perhaps I’ll tell you the story about seeing my home on the news during Hurricane Katrina sometime. Things increasingly breaking down and not working for us is my generation’s normal, and the cold comfort from that is a kind of resilience that is a little deeper than the static blur of ironic detachment we wall ourselves behind. While I do enjoy pissing some people off for what I believe are the right reasons, I also believe in community — perhaps the only thing that has ever and will ever save us. I’ll be thinking about that on this long Independence weekend, and, rather than celebrating freedom in the abstract, I’ll be thinking of the freedoms of expression, solidarity, community and that great ultimate one: Peace. Look after each other.

Thursday

Seattle’s Hell Baby has a punk adjacent, post-Riot Grrl sound that will doubtless appeal to many in our local alternative and punk community. Other applicable nouns to consider would be “garage,” and “pop rock.” Tonight, the group brings itself down the coast a wee bit to land at the Siren’s Song Tavern at 8:30 p.m., where it will be sharing the stage with local heroes Clean Girl and the Dirty Dishes and Think Tank ($5). This should be a good one and a nice pre-game set for the long weekend.

Friday

Canary and the Vamp is sure getting out there a lot these days. Which is good, for as I have mentioned in this space before, Humboldt’s finest Tin Pan Alley troubadours have never sounded better than with

the current lineup, thanks in part to the expanded instrument array of front lady Beverly Twist (who among other accouterments has been playing a mean trumpet), as well as the addition of pedal steel dynamo Aleister Paige. If you want to see the band play in a setting most befitting of its charming, golden torch song-era style, then tonight’s 8 p.m. show is the one. North Coast Repertory Theatre is the perfect venue for this act, with its intimate, mini-amphitheater seating and nice acoustics ($15).

Saturday

The long, patriotic weekend is upon us and no matter how you feel about the notion of celebrating America’s current iteration, a long summer weekend is still a welcome thing. I’m going to pad today’s events out a bit, as there are some empty spots later in the holiday that will doubtless be filled with some mixture of explosions, fun in the water and the sun, and some form of epicurean excess. Let’s start in Sohum, shall we? If your daytripping has taken you out to beautiful Briceland Road and beyond, consider a stop at the Gyppo Ale Mill, where Oryan Peterson-Jones will be peddling his solo folk-Americana act for free starting at 5 p.m. Up north, there are some goodies, too. During Arts Alive starting at 6 p.m., you can find the return of Radio Clash, that post punk and gothic dance party helmed by DJs Anya, Ratrace and Zero One over at 215 C St. in Old Town. This used to be a regular institution at the Alibi and was usually a banger. Over at the Arcata Veterans Hall, there’s a noisy one happening at 7:30 p.m. ($10). Bellingham, Washington’s The Sheen are a trio of polyrhythmic tone weirdos who play some genuinely unsettling grooves. Joining these fellas is local power trio par excellence The Sturgeons, whose last show at the Vet’s Hall was nothing short of a triumph. This one should be packed. Finally, if you still have it in you to look for more aural stimulation, Humbrews is hosting a show with two of Arcata’s more

accomplished smooth soundmakers. Conman Bolo is teaming up with The California Poppies at 9 p.m. for the kind of line-up that will make you think you are driving a custom shaggin’ wagon through Ventura in the mid 1970s with the FM radio turned all the way up ($15, $10 advance). Mids scooped and bass and treble blaring right as the saxophone hits. Bliss.

Sunday

Honestly? Go to the river. Get some water time in before the algae blooms.

Monday, Independence Day Well it’s the big barbecue, explosionsin-the-sky-day. I’d suggest enjoying the fireworks over the bay and keeping an eye out on your neighborhood fur friends. This can often be their own little private D-Day. I know I’ll be keeping an eye on my kitties and grabbing the hose if I see the unsanctioned mortars getting too close to the roofline.

Tuesday

Word Humboldt continues its excellent open mic at Northtown Coffee, where many of the featured poets of late have been of an unusually good quality. The whole thing is free, all ages, friendly to all and starts at 6 p.m.

Wednesday

The Jam has a newish dance night that it’s been pushing pretty hard to fill the void left by a certain EDM-celebrating, “whomp” night of yesteryear. The Wednesday Ting is curated by DJ Pressure and DJ D’Vinity, and built to pump out sounds from the world of reggae, dancehall and Afrobeat. The music starts at 9:30 p.m. and I believe that there is no cover to get in the door. l Collin Yeo (he/him) would like to ask the same question that Ray Davies of The Kinks did in 1965: “Where have all the good times gone?” He lives in Arcata.

The Lives of Women And the men who kill them By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com Mood. Assassination Nation

t would seem I’ve chosen the wrong decade to quit drinking. With apologies to Samuel Clemens, it’s easy: I’ve done it dozens of times. For whatever reason, though, I selected the summer of 2022 to take a longer, less-defined hiatus from one of my longest-standing hobbies. These weren’t conscious factors in the decision, but it is possible that regime change and the possible ebbing of the plague suggested a time of greater peace and tranquility, with less necessity for Bourbon-based self-medication. Concurrently, the looming possibility of a third world war would seem to encourage clarity and light-footedness. But my decision was, ultimately, a more hopeful one; looks like I predictively shit the bed on that one. I was raised in a fairly stereotypical, West Coast product of the American Dream kind of household: two working parents, one sibling, emphasis on the twinned pillars of hard work and education. Also a somewhat hard-to-parse hybrid of kindness, service and the tenacious holding of grudges (and the specter of lapsed Catholicism); it’s a cocktail that leads organically to cocktails. More to the point, it was an early and often repeated lesson in our household that Roe v. Wade and the struggle for the Equal Rights Amendment were vital and emblematic of the vicious, often ignored but ongoing war for the rights of women in this country. When I met the girl I would eventually marry, I was wearing Education Now and Babies Later shoelaces; needless to say, she dug them. But then and now, I didn’t really think of fairness and balance as issues of gender politics, much less as politics at large. It seemed a foregone conclusion, to my naive teenaged self, that women, by

virtue of living (especially in a democracy in the modern world), would naturally be afforded self-determinism and control of their bodies. But I had forgotten that we still live in the Dark Ages of stupid fucking white men. That puts too fine a point on it, I know, as there are women and people of color who support the dictums of the panel of ghouls in gowns currently fomenting regression and murder; it’s still all white exclusionist bullshit. So, being the progressive beta cuck that I am — albeit one now reconsidering surrendering his weapons and in fact actively readying them — Friday didn’t exactly put me in a mood to watch Elvis — not that that mood would or will ever strike — or Jerry and Marge Go Large or Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe. Fortunately, I was able to keep busy, or I probably would have crawled into a hole with Apocalypse Now, Miami Vice, John Wick and a case of Maker’s Mark, from which I would have been unlikely to emerge. But I stayed the course, even as my thoughts shuttled frequently to my friends with daughters and the terrifying impossibility of having to explain the world’s obvious antipathy to them. I also looked back on what we have watched and have been watching lately, current events notwithstanding, and much of it, by and about women, could be cause for a strain of cautious optimism, if not hope. Hacks, the HBO series created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky and starring Jean Smart (legend, boss) and Hannah Einbinder, recently concluded its second season. Pairing Smart’s battle-hardened, Vegas casino resident standup with Einbinder’s recently disgraced comedy writer, the show poignantly but

Candy, a darkly comic true-crime adaptation from Robin Veith and Nick Antosca on Hulu, is at once an artfully executed examination of late-20th century domestic malaise, a murder mystery and an acting clinic anchored by a transformed Jessica Biel and the always revelatory Melanie Lynskey. Loot, starring Maya Rudolph on AppleTV+, and I Love That for You, a semi-autobiographical comedy cringe-fest from Vanessa Bayer on Hulu, are both in the early stages, but have already shown tremendous individual promise. Casting back into the shadows of the recent past, I’ve been put in mind of Mrs. America, the FX limited series about which there is much more to be said (there’s a multi-thousand-word document gathering dust on this very hard-drive). While the subject matter (Phyllis Schlafly’s torpedoing of the E.R.A.) remains abhorrent, the show is beautifully done and beyond exceptionally acted and, to me, suggests the importance of civilized discourse, mutual understanding and compromise are ephemera. More pointedly, Obvious Child (2014), Plan B (2021) and Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) are all, with apologies to Tim O’Brien, true war stories about women’s reproductive rights (or lack thereof) in contemporary America, with the first two tending more toward broad comedy and the last toward desolate honesty. I recommend all three unreservedly. As a corollary, Assassination Nation (2018), largely overlooked on its release, becomes increasingly topical: a self-de-

fense primer for girls in a world out to get them. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

ere are the solutions to last week’s challenge. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t peek — go to www.northcoastjournal.com to find the questions online.

The Mistake It’s the extra “the.”

Pedal to the Metal

Infinitely fast. The car needs two minutes to drive two miles at 60 mph. But those two minutes have already been used up in the first mile driving at 30 mph. So, it’s impossible.

Four Fours

All have multiple answers but I believe these are the shortest. 0 = 44 − 44 1 = 44 / 44 2 = 4/4 + 4/4 3 = (4 + 4 + 4) / 4 4 = 4 × (4 − 4) + 4 5 = (4 × 4 + 4) / 4 6 = 4 × .4 + 4.4 7 = 44 / 4 − 4 8 = 4 + 4.4 − .4 9 = 4/4 + 4 + 4 10 = 44 / 4.4 11 = 4/.4 + 4/4 12 = (44 + 4) / 4 13 = 4! − 44/4

Special Words

They’re pronounced differently when the first letter is capitalized.

Arc-square

0.4. Let s be the length of a side of the square. Fill in the remaining three quadrants as shown and connect the top left corner of the original square with the bottom right of the opposite square, which (by symmetry) passes through the center of this circle, i.e. it’s a diameter, length 2. By Pythagoras, s^2 + (3s)^2 = s 2^2, that is, 10s^2 = 4, so s^2, 2 the area of 3s the blue square, is 4/10.

Matches

Square root of 1; and using Roman numerals for 11. l

CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION NOTICE TO ADOPT AN INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE KLAMATH RIVER RURAL BROADBAND INITIATIVE PROJECT Notice is hereby given that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has released a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Kamath River Rural Broadband Project (Project), located in rural Humboldt County. The CPUC has prepared a joint Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment (IS/MND/EA) that meets the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is serving as the federal lead agency for the purposes of NEPA. The proposed Project would comprise installation of a “middle-mile” fiber optic network as well as “last- mile” wireless broadband networks to provide high-speed internet access to first responder agencies, anchor institutions, households and businesses in the towns of Orick, Orleans, Johnsons, Wautec, Weitchpec that are currently unserved or underserved with internet access. The proposed Project would extend 104 miles and consists of above-ground and underground installation of fiber optic cables, a wireless tower in the town of Orick, a signal connection in Orleans, and placement of “last-mile” fiber cable and associated structures. The IS/MND/EA evaluates potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the construction, operation, and maintenance of the proposed Project. The public review and comment period begins on June 24, 2022 and ends July 25, 2022 The Final IS/MND/EA will incorporate written input received during the 30-day public comment period. The Draft IS/MND/EA is available for public review by request at the McKinleyville Library: 1606 Pickett Rd. in McKinleyville. The Draft IS/MND/ EA may also be viewed online on the CPUC’s website for the Project at: https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/environment/info/esa/klamath/index.html.

"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 on 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 the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. 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 post− poned 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 call 844−477−7869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 85828. 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 information is to attend the scheduled sale." For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this prop− erty after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can

immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale." For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this prop− erty after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477−7869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 85828 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. 6/23, 6/30, 7/7 (22−269)

OVER 40 YEARS

of 4th of July Celebrations in Old Town Eureka The first 4th of July Street Fair would have started sometime in the 1970s. At one-point former council woman Bonnie Gool, was involved in the event. Former Mayor Nancy Flemming reflects on why she originally became involved. It was 1982, and she was the president of the North of Fourth Association. The Festival had degraded and lacked organization. Vendors were setting up in the doorways of shops, interrupting business for any of the shop owners who wanted to be open on the holiday. Working with the city manager she was able to file the permit to take over the responsibility of managing the Festival Brooke Exley, and Flemming, working together transformed the festival into what we see today. Exeley oversaw booths, and began adding food vendors, and crafts booths. She also booked all the bands. Flemming took on the job of permitting, and the non-musical entertainment. There were Coast Guard demonstrations, parachute jumpers, a children’s teddy bear parade, kids’ activities, and more. Copies of the Constitution and American flags were handed out to all the children attending. For several years Bon Boniere sponsored an ice-cream carving contest, using their homemade ice-cream. Sculptors like Hobart Brown demonstrated their artistic ability. Flemming was also a catalyst for why we have fireworks over Humboldt Bay. In 1984 the first fireworks were launched from the end of Woodley Island. She says it was such a popular place to view the

OF JULY FESTIVAL GUIDE • 2022 • SPECIAL INSERT

fireworks, that the next year they began staging on a barge in the Bay. 34 years later they are still shot over the Bay from a barge. In 1987 Flemming and former councilman Mike Jones, who was General Manager of KEKA Radio in Downtown, partnered to fund raise and include patriotic music with the fireworks. Sound Advice provided giant speakers for music, and Flemming and Jones broadcast from her dock on the Bay. She also hosted a BBQ and Madaket ride for the top fireworks donors. Fireworks continue today because Rob and former councilwoman Cherie Arkley generously underwrote them for several years, through 2006. In 2007, Jones, with his patriotic spirit stepped up and was the City’s key fundraiser through 2018. This year he still grew his beard out, and will don his red, white and blue tux, complete with hat and tails, and serves as Eureka Main Street’s official mascot at the Festival. After Flemming was elected Mayor in 1990. While she still stayed involved with Exeley, her duties kept her too busy. Exeley continued to manage the 4th of July Street Festival, until 2001. She handed the reins to Eureka Main Street, and the festival has been under their care ever since. It is now referred to as Eureka Main Street 4th of July Festival, however, most still call it Old Town 4th of July Festival. It will always be a labor of love, celebrating the birth of our Nation with a family friendly festival, culminating with the fireworks over the Bay.

THE MOONDOTS

CANARY AND THE VAMP Photo by Dave Woody THE JIMMIE LAHMAN BAND The Jimmie Lahman Band plays a mixture of Blues, Swing, Funk and Rock. We add original songs that fit the genre. Great for dancing. The Jimmie Lahman Band members are from Eureka, Arcata, and Westhaven. Jim Lahman, the founder of the band, plays guitar and sings, Justin Hoopes is the drummer, Alex Kantner is the bassist and Ron Perry plays harmonica. We have a female vocalist, Nan Voss. CANARY AND THE VAMP Channeling the voices of the Tin Pan Alley Song book, Beverly Twist from Belles of the Levee joins forces with Absynth Quartet’s guitarist Ryan Roberts and bassist/vocalist John Ludington. “With the addition of Aleister Paige on pedal steel, the sound has never been better.”-Collin Yeo, North Coast Journal. Twist periodically switches from rhythm guitarist to banjolele, trumpet and melodica. Roberts plays a self made o-hole guitar traditionally played in jazz manouche fashion, a style made popular by early jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt. Ludington holds down the upright bass whilst singing close harmonies with Twist. With a mix of ‘20s and ‘30s vaudevillian style, Brazilian jazz and country swing, Canary’s sound is bound to excite if not intrigue it’s listeners. You can check us out on canaryandthevamp.com THE MOONDOTS From Arcata, California, The Moondots started playing together amid lockdown, blending covers and original compositions into an innovative fusion of funk, folk, and hip-hop. They have been playing at dif-

ferent venues around Humboldt Country since 2021. WIDDERSHINS Widdersins music style is uniquely poetic, transportive originals with rock influences. The band showcases the talents of Christine Walden, vocals, lyricist; Frank Mancinelli, guitar; Spencer Kennedy, drums; and Lisa C Sharry, bass and backup vocals.

JOHN DAVID YOUNG CONSPIRACY JOHN DAVID YOUNG CONSPIRACY The John David Young Conspiracy is a four-piece jazz/rock band that has been known to wander into country or blues. Lead guitar/vocalist John David Young, rhythm guitar/flute/vocalist Les Craig, and bass player Ray Ritter have been together since 2008, and drummer Ernie Continued on next page »

Earnshaw joined us in 2011. We have four CDs out so far, and this photo is from one of our favorite gigs, the Union Labor Day Picnic in Sequoia Park. We play mostly originals written by John or Les, but we also love our oldies, especially Beatles! LIZZY AND THE MOONBEAMS Original and cover tunes that will get you up and on the dance flor and keep you there all night long. Covering a large array of styles, including R & B, Blues, jazz, 50’s-60’s rock to country. Lizzy and the Moonbeams has something for everybody. SCOTIA BAND The Scotia Band, Humboldt County’s

Community Band, was born in 1935 when a group of Pacific Lumber Company employees began getting together regularly to play music. For many years this all-volunteer group was sponsored by Pacific Lumber, their hallmark maroon and khaki uniforms with a redwood tree patch on the sleeve seen around the County enhancing community events with a broad repertoire of marches, show tunes, popular, folk, and classical music selections. They became a 501c3 nonprofit group in 2006 and nowadays anyone of any age who plays a wind or percussion instrument is invited to join. For more information, see their website at www.scotiaband2.org.
