‘Nonreproductive rights’

NEW LOCATION

Editor: Despite what many in media, including The Journal, are now repeating (at least eight times in “After Roe,” June 30, alone), there have been absolutely no restrictions placed on anyone’s “reproductive rights” by the U.S. Supreme Court or any other legal entity here lately. Examples of reproductive rights being quashed would include things like forced sterilization and China’s One Child Policy. This is not what is occurring with the recent overturning of Roe. It is in fact non-reproductive choices that are being taken away. Distinctions like this are important, especially if, as The Journal reports, abortion rights will «literally be on the ballot in California in November with a measure that ... would enshrine ‹reproductive freedom› in the state Constitution.» Effective legal arguments and laws are funny like that. D. Lamar Hudson, Briceland

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

Editor: As I perused the June 30 edition of the NCJ, “After Roe,” certain phrases assailed me with their irony. I noted: “... those who believe in individual freedom ...,” “... if you think we should have self-determination over our own bodies ...,” “... the future of our inalienable rights hangs in the balance ...,” “government should not be regulating our bodies ...,” and “bodily autonomy is a right.” Where have these authors and protestors been? For over two years now, individual freedom and bodily autonomy have been under a grave assault. Our ability to move and even breathe freely was severely curtailed by lockdown measures. A brand new type of vaccine has been foisted upon all of us, and pushed with an extreme degree of ugly coercion. The COVID-19 mandates were, and remain, the most serious abrogation of freedom and bodily autonomy that we have been subjected to in our lifetime.

Terry Torgerson

COVID vaccine mandates sadistically forced many to submit their bodies to an unwanted medical procedure, in order to retain their employment, and thus their ability to procure food and housing, for themselves and their family. Who was it that took the lead in this coercion? It was Democrats, progressives and other left leaning people. I was shocked to witness many people, who profess to abhor discrimination, embrace their own brand of bigotry, and start to vilify, bully and dehumanize those who stood up for freedom and bodily autonomy, as well as those who made a different medical decision than their own. I was horrified to see the Democratic party, which I once considered the “lesser of two evils,” reject freedom and equality, and embrace authoritarianism and medical tyranny. This mad rush towards totalitarianism threatens the freedom and bodily autonomy of each and every one of us. Amy Gustin, Ettersburg

‘Disgusting, Disrespectful and Insensitive’ Editor: I’m really tired of seeing a photo of some grinning tourist showing off a bleeding, dead or dying fish in every issue of the NCJ (Fishing). These photos are disgusting, disrespectful and insensitive. In one case, the photo (of a salmon) immediately followed an article on the impacts of the salmon fishery collapse on the Yurok Tribe. Yikes! I suspect the NCJ would refrain from publishing equivalent photos of deer or ducks; at least I’ve never seen any. So why

fish? Because they have gills and can’t close their eyes? Numerous studies have shown that fish can feel pain and fear, have complex social lives, and are at least intelligent enough to recognize individual humans. Google “fish feelings” and you’ll find plenty of inconvenient truths relevant to our treatment of fish. I also think we should consider what kind of message such photos send. To me, they condone the enjoyment of killing. There are well-documented links between cruelty to animals and violent crime, including mass shootings. I’m not suggesting that fishing is a gateway to mass murder, but animal abusers all share enjoyment of, or at least indifference to, animal fear and pain. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that people gotta eat. I get that. What people don’t gotta do is feel good about the taking of sentient lives that eating often involves. Mr. Priest could get his information across just as well without the photos. They’re gratuitous and make his articles look like advertising. He’d have room for even more information without them. If I want to see photos of “sportsmen” posing with the animals they’ve outmuscled or outwitted (and if it isn’t abundantly clear by now, I don’t), I’ll pick up a copy of Field & Stream. I don’t need them in the NCJ. Just stop. Please. Ken Burton, McKinleyville

Standing with Sanborn

Editor: I have to agree with Alan Sanborn (Mailbox, June 16) on using civil language in public discourse. Maybe we’re from another generation where foul language had not invaded the public arena as it has today. I feel it degrades the speaker and the listener. Using civil language does not mean that we’re not just as disgusted as others over the situation. In public discourse, foul language will always be foul, at least for me. Ms. Cahill, in her column, did make a point and stimulated conversation. Minimal reforms will not solve the mass shooting epidemic. Most countries have not allowed military assault weapons in their societies or have banned them after mass shootings and instituted buy-back programs like in Australia. In fact, assault weapons were banned in the U.S. not long ago. We lead the industrialized world by far in mass shootings by 10 to 100 times

May into June 2022 To meet what I lack and to go on, in faith, as if all of the reasons might roll into one healing event. And one fine day my body will spring and all of the reasons might release me. All I lack might meet the reasons I spring in faith as if going on in my body is all I need. — A. Clark

We›re number one! The U.S. is the largest legal and illegal arms exporter in the world. Is it surprising that the most powerful military power on the planet has a weapons problem? These weapons make their way around the world and reap a deadly harvest. I think we should follow the money to the manufacturers of these weapons: Smith & Wesson, Remington Outdoor, Sturm Ruger & Co., etc. Millions of these weapons are made selling for billions of dollars. These companies have plenty to donate in campaign contributions. We can and should expose the millions taken by national politicians. The bullets in these weapons are longer than in a handgun. When the bullet hits, it tumbles and does a lot more damage. We need a return of the assault weapons ban and a buy-back program or we’ll continue to see mass shootings on our TVs at night. Sorry to be so civilly unhinged. David Ross, Eureka

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

ndependence week in Humboldt County saw a series of hateful, bigoted events, spawning multiple criminal investigations from Fortuna to Arcata and the county’s unincorporated areas. The incidents include the assault of a Black man by multiple white men on Eureka’s waterfront after he reported being called a racial slur, the widespread distribution of anti-Semitic flyers and a trans man reporting he was targeted, harassed and threatened in Fortuna, which are being investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies. The incidents occurred a week after state Attorney General Rob Bonta released the 2021 Hate Crime in California Report, which showed a 33-percent increase in bias events over last year — reaching levels not seen since the aftermath of 2001 terrorist attacks — with Bonta describing the numbers as showing the “epidemic of hate we saw spurred on during the pandemic remains a clear and present threat.” “As our state’s top law enforcement officer, I will continue to use the full authority of my office to fight back,” he stated in a news release. “We will keep working with our local law enforcement partners and community organizations to make sure every Californian feels seen, heard and protected. While there is no single solution, it’s up to all of us to heed the call, because when our communities feel empowered, they come forward. Now, more than ever, it is critical that we stand united — there is no place for hate in California.” Here’s a look at this week’s incidents:

Fortuna’s Hate Crime Investigation The Fortuna Police Department is investigating allegations of a hate crime after a trans man reported being harassed

and threatened at the Dollar General last week. According to Lt. Matt Eberhardt, the man came into the police department around noon on July 7 and reported that the evening prior, around 7 p.m., he had been waiting in line at the store when the male customer immediately in front of him asked, “Are you trans?” Eberhardt said the man at first thought the question was a sign of someone being friendly and curious, wanting to ask questions. According to Eberhardt, they responded, “Yeah, I am. What are you?” “Then, right off the bat, it was aggression from the other person,” Eberhardt said. “Just things like, ‘I’m a real man,’ ‘People like you shouldn’t be allowed in the store,’ threatening to kick the persons’ ass. Just a lot of aggression.” Eberhardt said the trans man said he calmly asked the other customer to just pay and move on, wanting the interaction to end, but the male customer kept at him, calling him a “fucking faggot” and threatening them, saying as he was yelling, he was “constantly repeating that he was going to beat them up.” After the man left the store, the victim asked the clerk if he could stay in the store awhile, afraid the other customer might be waiting outside. After a few minutes, he left for his car, which was parked directly in front. He was able to get inside the car and lock the doors before he saw the other man across the parking lot, at which point the man started yelling again and ran toward the victim’s car, before he drove away. “An officer took a hate crime case and it’s still under investigation,” Eberhardt said. “We’re hoping we can identify who the person is and forward a case on to the district attorney’s office, because this is unacceptable.” After watching body camera footage of an officer’s interview with the victim, Eberhardt said it was clear to him the man

was shaken by the incident. “They were scared,” he said. “They definitely were fearful.” Eberhardt said staff at Dollar General have been helpful and are looking for surveillance footage that might capture the exchange and help identify the assailant. The victim in the case kept his transaction receipt, Eberhardt said, so police are also hopeful they may be able to use that to see if there is any identifying information associated with the transaction immediately prior to his. The lieutenant also asked that anyone with information to call the Fortuna Police Department at 725-7550. In California, Penal Code section 422.55 defines a hate crime as a criminal act committed because of the victim’s actual or perceived disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or association with a group with these “actual or perceived characteristics.” Eberhardt said this is the first hate crime investigation he can remember in Fortuna, saying it’s troubling. “Nobody should be treated like this,” he said.

The Eureka Assault

In Eureka, meanwhile, an investigation into an assault that may have been racially motivated or instigated by racist language, remains ongoing. At approximately 10:30 p.m., during the July Fourth fireworks show, officers came upon an assault in progress in the gravel lot at First and D streets involving multiple people, including a Black man who’d suffered a head injury. A couple days later, a video surfaced on social media capturing the assault, though it does not capture the entirety of the event. The posted video — which has since been set to private and is no longer viewable — shows a verbal exchange between the victim and another man in a baseball hat, both of whom are on foot, as cars wait to file out of the parking lot. It appears the man in the baseball hat is confronting the man about an incident that just took place and got him out of his car, to which the victim responds, “He just called me nigger,” seemingly in reference to someone not shown in the video. The man in the hat responds by telling him, in essence, just move on, he’s Black, too, and, it’s not a big deal. The victim then asks the man if he would let someone disrespect him like that, at which point some of the man in a baseball hat’s friends begin yelling from their car and the parties seem to separate. The video picks up again some time later, evidenced by the fact that the cars are in different position, just as the Black man is being assaulted. Appearing to

have already been hit by a bottle, he’s then hit in the head from behind by someone before the man in the baseball hat sucker punches him twice as he turns to confront the other assailant. EPD Capt. Brian Stephens told the Journal before it went to press July 12 that his department had procured two arrest warrants — both for assault with a deadly weapon in the case — and was hoping to execute them the following day. As such, he declined to identify the suspects at that time, adding a third suspect in the case also remains unidentified and wanted for simple assault. Stephens said it doesn’t appear the attack was racially motivated, though it’s certainly possible the use of racial slurs escalated the altercation. Witness interviews and videos reviewed by police — which include the one posted to social media and at least one other, according to Stephens — indicate the initial altercation had to do with “an aggressive driver type situation” and things escalated from there, including the use of epithets. Ultimately, Stephens said it will be up to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office to determine if the circumstances of the assault meet the legal definition of a hate crime. “It’s all in the report and it will be up to the DA’s office to review the materials and see if the facts fit that designation,” he said. Stephens asked anyone with information about the case to call the Eureka Police Department at 441-4060.

Anti-Semitic Flyers in Arcata, Eureka Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies are working together to investigate a rash of anti-Semitic materials distributed in Humboldt County over the holiday week.

“Hate has no place in Humboldt County, and we will not tolerate the use of fear or intimidation to promote a hate-filled political agenda,” Sheriff William Honsal said, adding that he would like to thank community members who came forward to notify his office of the flyers. According to a press release, the sheriff’s Terrorism Liaison Office, “in coordination with state and federal law enforcement partners, is investigating the origin of this material and its distribution within our county.” The materials were first reported in an Arcata neighborhood July 4, with flyers bearing the names and faces of prominent Biden administration officials and national media executives, some of whom were depicted with a blue Star of David on their forehead. At least three different flyers were distributed in the Sunset neighborhood near Lincoln and Eastern avenues, not far from Arcata Elementary School, where one resident told the Journal they found the leaflets on their driveway in separate plastic bags, each weighed down by three pennies. One flyer was titled “Every aspect of Disney child grooming is Jewish,” using an attack buzzword increasingly being baselessly thrown around by right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists who turned their ire on the entertainment and theme park powerhouse when the company criticized Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay Bill,” included a rainbow-colored Star of David. Each bore a dubious attempt at a disclaimer, which states, “These flyers were distributed randomly without malicious intent” and links to a YouTube-like video sharing website with right wing, conspiracy theorist hate videos. Eureka residents have also reported finding similar material in that city, including near the Temple Beth El.

The origins of the flyers are being investigated by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, Arcata Police Department and the Eureka Police Department, with the aid of state and federal partners. Local officials urged residents to report similar materials if they come across them. “With each person we talk to we can continue to piece together the who, what, why, where, when and how, which gives us more of ability to figure out who did this and for what purpose,” Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn said, describing the flyers’ distribution as a “heinous act” and urging anyone in affected neighborhoods to review security camera footage for evidence. (The Arcata Police Department can be reached at 822-2424, the Eureka Police Department at 441-4044 and the Sheriff’s Office at 268-2539.) The neighborhood resident who contacted the Journal described finding the flyers as “difficult, hurtful, scary and confusing,” noting they don’t know other Jewish people in the area and “it felt super directed.” The individual, who asked not to be named, said they took the flyers to the APD. “It’s crazy to be reminded that people think this way, that they still think this way,” they said, adding that if the person or persons who dropped off the flyers really do believe in the hate rhetoric, it’s “scary to think if they’d act on this.” l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Senior Community’s Plans Detoured by Cal Poly Humboldt’s Land Purchase

local nonprofit’s plans to build a senior community on a property in Arcata has hit a “bump in the road” after Cal Poly Humboldt purchased the 16-acre site it had been negotiating to buy. According to a statement from Life Plan Humboldt — which is aiming to develop “Humboldt County’s first resident-led, life plan senior community” that includes a mix of private residences and higher-level care facilities with tiered levels of assisted living services, shared amenities and common areas in a campus-like setting — two other sites are now under consideration. Cal Poly Humboldt announced the purchase of the Creekside property on the 2000 block of Foster Avenue in a July 5 news release, calling it a “strategic real estate investment.” “The university has offered significantly more for the property than we had agreed on in our negotiations with the owners,” Life Plan Humboldt states, noting the nonprofit understands Cal Poly Humboldt’s “pressing need” for student housing. “We

are discussing a partnership with the university supporting our senior community and we are also working on two excellent building site options in Arcata and McKinleyville that have been on our radar for some time.” The nonprofit states it has raised more than $865,000 in grants and donations over the last two years for the project, which residents would buy into with an “upfront, one-time entrance fee” as well as ongoing monthly payments for utilities and other services. Cal Poly Humboldt did not specify what was slated for the Creekside property in its release, stating only that the site will “be used to support any of a number of institutional priorities aligned with our polytechnic transformation” and will “play a vital role in efforts to provide a positive, meaningful educational experience for students.” The university is in the midst of planning for a projected doubling of its enrollment in the coming years after it was named the state’s third polytechnic university earlier this year.

Environmental review for massive Samoa fish farm heads to planning commission By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

n 2019, Nordic Aquafarms approached the county with a unique proposal: Using some derelict land owned by the Harbor District, the Norway-based company wanted to build a giant land-based fish farm, with Atlantic salmon raised in tanks, separated from the waters of the ocean and Humboldt Bay, and marketed all over the nation. As part of the deal, Nordic would first clean up the highly polluted site, which was last occupied by the now defunct Samoa pulp mill, saving the district and the county millions of dollars. Nordic also promises the project will bring hundreds of good-paying jobs throughout the course of site cleanup, construction and ongoing operations. State and federal law require environmental assessment of most projects. At first, the county proposed a minimal level of environmental review, called a Mitigated Negative Declaration, for Nordic’s proposed fish farm. However, in response to public criticism, the company decided to commission a full-scale Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), which was about 1,500 pages long, including a 10-page list of acronyms, and dozens of highly technical appendices. This was released in February.

The purpose of the DEIR is to explain all possible environmental ramifications of the project, to collect public comments on these issues and, where necessary, identify mitigation measures. The letters of comment, the company’s responses to them and some legal details were then published July 1 in a separate document called the Final Environmental Report (FEIR), containing hundreds of comments from members of the public and various organizations. The Humboldt County Planning Commission is now slated to take up the FEIR, which now sits at close to 3,000 pages, on July 28 to determine if it adequately assesses the project’s potential impacts of what would be the world’s largest landbased recirculating aquaculture system. Certification of the document would be needed for the company to continue in the permitting process. As described by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife: “The project site is situated on the Samoa Peninsula, bounded on the west by dunes and the Pacific Ocean and on the east by Humboldt Bay, and located at the site of the former Samoa Pulp Mill in the unincorpo-

rated community of Samoa in Humboldt County. “The proposed aquaculture facility will include operations to grow-out fish from egg to harvestable size. The fish will be contained indoors in separate buildings connected by underground pipes for fish transfer. “At full capacity, the facility will have an annual production of approximately 25,000 metric tons of head-on-gutted fish,” CDFW continued. “The project will require approximately 2.5 million gallons per day of freshwater sourced from the Mad River and 10 million gallons per day of seawater sourced from Humboldt Bay. Treated wastewater (12.5 million gallons per day) will be discharged into the Pacific Ocean utilizing the existing Redwood Marine Terminal ocean outfall pipe located 1.55 miles offshore of the Samoa Peninsula.” The project will see five buildings constructed — for intake water treatment, grow-out modules, a hatchery, fish processing and wastewater treatment — with a combined 766,530-square-foot footprint. The project will also include “ancil-

lary support features,” including a paved parking lot, fire access roads, security fencing, stormwater management and a fire suppression water line, according to the report, which notes that all of this construction would take place after existing environmental contamination is remediated. As might be expected, public comments for the project fall into two basic groups: Those who support the project because of its perceived economic benefits to the community, and those that oppose it because of its perceived environmental hazards. For example, the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District, which supplies both the peninsula with untreated water for industry and most of Humboldt’s larger towns with treated drinking water, strongly supports the project. The water district was originally formed to supply the peninsula’s pulp mills with Mad River water. When the mills closed, it was left with a massive surplus, which it could forfeit under the state’s “use it or lose it” policies. As such, the district wants new industrial customers.

College of the Redwoods, which hopes to open its own aquaculture program, sees Nordic as an ally in this effort. Some at Cal Poly Humboldt agree: “As an aquaculture professor ... I see great opportunities to collaborate with Nordic,” wrote Cal Poly Humboldt associate professor Rafael Cuevas-Uribe. “Our students could do internships at Nordic and [be] employed by them. We can do research of any need that they could have.” Others say the project could have a ripple effect, providing a boon for the area. “The Nordic project will potentially be a draw for other aquaculture or sustainable businesses on the peninsula, thereby increasing economic prosperity and employment opportunities for our region,” said Fortuna Chamber of Commerce CEO Renee Lindsay. Another commenter, Greg Page, said the project will put people to work locally while also providing “training opportunities for apprentices so we can grow the next generation of skilled working people.” Many individuals — 132 of them, in fact — shared these opinions. However, organizations and individuals concerned primarily with the environment offered many criticisms of — and concerns with — the project. The Manila Community Services District focused on traffic impacts the project would bring. “The tiny community of Manila is thoroughly bisected by [State Route] 255 which contains no traffic control, no stop

signs, minimal lighting and no crosswalks between the one side of the town, with an elementary school and beach access, and the community park and market on the other,” said a letter from the MCSD Board of Directors. “Additional traffic loads from employees commuting to and from work, along with the estimated additional 95 truck runs per week, will have a tremendously disruptive impact on our community.” Other commenters challenged Nordic’s traffic statistics, saying they grossly undercounted the number of cars and trucks the project would bring. “Project-related truck traffic does not present a significant intensification of use beyond what the road network currently experiences and accommodates,” the FEIR responded. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife expressed concern about effects on native salmon populations. “The California Legislature made it unlawful to spawn, incubate or cultivate any transgenic or exotic species of finfish belonging to the family Salmonidae in the waters of the Pacific Ocean regulated by the state,” CDFW wrote. “While landbased facilities are generally regarded as posing substantially fewer risks to the local environment than marine net pens, the proximity of the project site to Humboldt Bay and the Pacific Ocean, coupled with the proposed seawater intakes and discharge of effluent into the Pacific Ocean, is concerning.”

The project would also be built in a region that is “home to some of the state’s most commercially and culturally significant salmon runs of wild Pacific Salmon, some of which are also at risk of extinction,” CDFW wrote. “CDFW understands that the potential for cultured Atlantic salmon to escape from the facility into local marine, estuarine and freshwater environments is low, but does not consider the risk to be eliminated, and is concerned with the potential consequences of an escape event to vulnerable, native species,” CDFW continued. “The project’s proposed location is subject to seismic and tsunami hazards and may hold millions of Atlantic salmon as close as 300 feet from Humboldt Bay at any one time. Even well-designed landbased facilities outside of tsunami hazard areas have had unintended releases due to structural or operational failures... the risk of intentional or unintentional release of fish cannot be completely eliminated.” The agency was also concerned about the risk to tiny marine organisms posed by the facility’s water intake systems. These organisms, some of which are themselves baby fish, provide food for other animals higher up on the food chain. Another item of concern is the wastewater, which is expected to be about 20 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the surrounding ocean water, although it will cool rapidly as it diffuses. Most but not all of the contaminants commonly found in wastewater will be

removed by the project’s wastewater treatment system, adding a small but consistent degree of contamination to the ocean waters. CDFW is also concerned about the project’s effects on eelgrass, which is protected by state and federal policies because of its importance to fisheries, and also the impact to ospreys which nest in the area. “The Draft EIR does not include implementation of a mitigation plan in the event that impacts to water quality or biological communities are observed,” CDFW wrote. Nordic’s document responds: “The prevention of fish escape is one of the highest priorities for NAFC, and the facility is designed around escape prevention ... . The proposed facility will feature multiple physical barriers both within and outside the tanks that will block the passage of fish and eggs … . The proposed facility in Humboldt also includes structures designed to withstand a major seismic and tsunami event.” The document then describes the multiple barriers that would prevent fish from escaping and mentions “there is no opportunity for an operator to release fish accidentally or intentionally from a tank directly into the sea.” Although there are a few records of fish escaping from Norwegian land-based fish farms, Nordic states that those facilities were unlike the planned Humboldt facility in many ways.

Even if any escape should somehow occur, Nordic says that “use of an all-female stock would prevent reproduction in nature.” In addition, the company notes, “domesticated fish are unlikely to survive outside of the controlled environment where they receive regular feeding because domesticated fish have limited prey foraging skills.” The FEIR also describes a rigorous fish health management plan. The National Marine Fisheries Service had similar comments to CDFW’s, expressing even greater levels of concern than the state did. The agency also criticized Nordic’s dismissal of the possibility of harmful algal blooms occurring as a result of the warm water discharged into the ocean from the facility. “Do to a lack of monitoring in the discharge area, we do not know the algal species composition in the project area, although the California Department of Public Health has frequently prohibited shellfish harvesting due to the presence of domoic acid” (a naturally-occurring neurotoxin caused by certain algae), the agency said. Nordic responded with several scientific reasons why this was unlikely to occur. The Wiyot Tribe also expressed concerns about harmful algal blooms. “There is concern over further elevating the water temperature in our region as our oceans are already warming,” the tribe wrote in a letter, also expressing concern Continued on next page »

that certain culturally important species, such as the endangered longfin smelt, could be harmed by the project. The Wiyot Tribe also expressed concern about the energy demands of the project and recommended that Nordic increase the size of the onsite solar electricity system and commit to purchasing “local, carbon free, renewable electricity, whenever it is available and feasible to purchase.” Representatives of local fishing organizations expressed concern about the effects the project might have on their livelihoods, with cheaper farmed salmon supplanting the market share of its more expensive, wild-caught counterpart. The Blue Lake Rancheria expressed support of the project but wanted to see a plan to protect water quality in the event of a system failure. Nordic maintained such a plan is already in place. The project will be powered by electricity, a very large amount, which is problematic in the eyes of some commenters. Electrical energy at present is generated from power plants that burn natural gas, releasing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas the state is trying to reduce due to its exacerbating impacts on the climate crisis. As such, the state is working to replace natural gas electric production with renewable sources, like solar and wind, a goal that is embraced in the county’s Climate Action Plan.

Nordic plans to build some 15 acres of rooftop solar arrays in the construction of its facilities, which would provide roughly 20 percent of the facility’s electricity, but environmental groups have charged that’s not enough. In the words of the Sierra Club, “The Nordic facility would add electric power demands equal to half of our residential use today, a scale of impact which demands serious consideration.” The electrical demands of the proposed project would equate to about 21 percent of Humboldt County’s current usage, an amount currently consumed by the cities of Eureka and Fortuna combined. “California’s strategy for countering climate change and reaching net-zero emissions in 2045 is to convert electric power generation to renewables and then to ‘electrify everything,’” the Sierra Club continued. “In particular, vastly more electricity will be used as we convert to electric vehicles and as we convert our gas and wood stove powered housing and buildings to electric heat pumps. An official California strategic plan released in May 2021 estimates that in order to meet S.B. 100 goals in 2045, California will need three times the electricity that we use today.” If an offshore wind project currently being studied off Humboldt’s coast is built, the letter continues, “there will

probably be sufficient sources of renewable energy for the county, including the 22.3 megawatts Nordic would add.” “But what will be the situation if we do not get wind power?” the Sierra Club asks. Currently, the Humboldt Bay Generating Station can produce about 160 megawatts of energy, according to the Sierra Club, with the Humboldt sawmill biomass plant (classified as “renewable” but which is “high-carbon”) can produce another 15 megawatts and the county able to import another 70 megawatts of renewable electricity from outside its borders. “In summary,” the Sierra Club continued, “if we don’t get wind power, our local energy capacity is likely to be barely sufficient for our demand, and we will get less than half of our power from renewable sources. This is the situation if Nordic is not built. If it is built, it adds another 22.3 [megawatts] to the total capacity needed and to the demand for the insufficient supply of renewable energy.” This scenario, the Sierra Club warns, would imperil Humboldt County’s ability to meet state requirements to convert toward 100-percent renewable energy by 2045, arguing that this alone should

require “a finding of significant impact under CEQA.” The FEIR’s response is the project will follow the lead of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA). RCEA describes itself as the “community choice aggregator for Humboldt County, serving 63,000 electric account customers and supporting energy efficiency alongside local, clean and renewable energy solutions.” Nordic anticipates the project opening in 2025, according to the document, which coincides with RCEA’s goal of providing 100 percent renewable energy through a mix of “state-designated, net-zero carbon emission” sources. “This commitment is ... fully enforceable by the county through the county’s Coastal Development Permit (CDP) conditions of approval,” the document states. Nordic has also previously charged that electricity demands aside, the project would lead to a net reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions because it would provide a domestic supply for the large amounts of salmon the U.S. currently imports from Europe with a huge carbon footprint. These were just a few of the hundreds

of comments received from the public. Some were heartfelt one-line statements from individuals; others were lengthy, well-documented tomes from various environmental organizations. Outside of the scope of the FEIR, the two top executives of Nordic Aquafarms, co-founder Erik Heim and Executive Vice President Marianne Naess, who’d combined to be the public face of Nordic in Humboldt County, abruptly announced their departure from the company July 5, giving no reason other than the desire to pursue new opportunities. Attempts to reach out to Nordic were unsuccessful. A press release announced Brenda Chandler, a Maine native, will be the interim CEO. The project’s next step is up to the Humboldt County Planning Commission, which will begin the process of deciding whether to certify Nordic’s FEIR at its July 28 meeting. ● Elaine Weinreb (she/her) is a freelance journalist.

Making a Home at Lily’s Thai Kitchen By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

im Pravong describes herself as a risk taker. One is inclined to believe her after hearing she took over Lily’s Thai Kitchen with only a little experience working for a friend at a restaurant years ago and a couple visits to scope the place out. “If I don’t do it, I never know,” she says. Pravong jumped in with both feet in May, moving from Eureka to Willow Creek, where Lily’s is located (40640 State Route 299). There’s not much of an Asian population in the small, mountain town and Pravong has yet to meet any Southeast Asian residents besides the handful of family members living and working with her. But she says the demand for Thai food in remote Willow Creek and its

surrounding area is strong. “Basically, I like to serve the community,” she says. “People from Hoopa and Orleans, they come down here.” Sometimes she stays a little past the 8 p.m. closing time to accommodate those who’ve made the long haul for deep ochre Panang curry and soft, transparent spring rolls stuffed with shrimp and lettuce. Pravong likes the small community in Willow Creek and notes that a number of people she’s only just met have offered her help whenever she needs it. She says she’s eager to return the favor and has already donated lunch for the teachers at Willow Creek Elementary. “It’s really warm and everybody knows everybody … It’s really welcoming here …. They really wel-

come a new business owner.” When Lily Vong opened Lily’s in December of 2021, it was a welcome addition in a town of just under 1,300 people, according to the U.S. Census, with limited dining options and no other Asian food. Like many Lao Americans of her generation, Pravong immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980s, after staying a year or so in a refugee camp in Thailand until she was 10. After her family landed in Des Moines, they moved to Humboldt County, where she grew up before moving around a bit and returning to Eureka. Without formal culinary training, Pravong learned Southeast Asian cooking techniques and recipes from her mother, her in-laws and friends. “I just pick it up from whoever can teach me,” she says. “I pick it up really quickly.” Most recently, she learned some house recipes for Lily’s from Vong, though the Thai fried rice and fried noodles are her own versions. “Really spicy,” she says with a little mischief in her laugh. “Some of it is gonna’ change,” she says, and she’s looking at what’s popular with customers and what she can improve. “I’m still thinking about it.” Pravong’s personal favorites align with some of the most popular items. “I like pad Thai and pad kee mao and red curry. I like all of it — and pineapple fried rice.” She takes a minute to rhapsodize about how nice a handmade eggroll is when its freshly stuffed and fried. The restaurant is still takeout-only, which allows Pravong to maintain a skeleton crew, but there are places for customers to sit and eat outside. So far that model is working for her and she says she’s been able to pay her bills and herself with the slim profits. Willow Creek’s remoteness presents its own challenges for a Thai restaurant, though. “Ingredient wise, it’s really hard.” Sometimes when Pravong can’t get the spices and specialty ingredients she needs on her regular trips to Eureka, where they sometimes sell out quickly, she has to go to Sacramento or Redding. Stocking up and taking inventory are Monday tasks, the only day the restaurant is closed, leaving Pravong with no real days off. The rest of the week, she says, she typically pulls 12-hour days, coming in at 9:30 a.m. to start prep work and finishing the nightly cleaning by 9:30 p.m. “But it’s OK,” says Pravong. “It’s something we love to do.”

ure, it’s “just” a weekly mountain bike ride. Like many groups formed around a common interest and shared challenges, this weekly gathering of women mountain bikers has morphed into a unique community. For years now, every Monday evening, a group of women abscond to the woods on bicycles. On inky dark winter nights, when you can see your breath in the air, they pack layers and turn on their bike lights. In spring and fall, they measure the time until sunset by horizontal finger-widths, each finger representing approximately 15 minutes until the sun dips below the horizon or, more often, the fog bank. In summer, the ride starts and ends hours before nightfall, leaving plenty of time for post-ride beers or river dips. Once the wheels meet the loam, the camaraderie is somewhere between a giggling sleepover and a lighthearted counseling session. Conversations click around like gears on the cog or twit rapidly like the chipmunks of the forest — it just depends on who is riding next to you. We stop as often as needed, to regroup, to snack, to take pictures of flowers. No one is in a particular hurry. We’re not there for a hammer fest or a personal record. We are there to ride, to laugh, to learn and to enjoy the views under towering conifers. On windy days, like those we’ve been having lately, the trail and streets are covered with cones from the most common trees here on the North Coast: Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, not a true fir, which is the Abies genus), Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens). Each conifer produces two reproductive structures: the seed cones, or female cones, are larger, woodier structures that produce seeds; the pollen cones, or male cones, are the smaller, softer structures that produce and then release pollen when the time and the wind is right. Seed cones can be papery like with Sitka spruce or berry-like as with junipers. No matter the structure, the pol-

len makes it to the seed cones via blustery days and, as with most reproduction on Earth, the seeds develop inside the cone to be released anew. Red Alders (Alnus rubra) produce what looks like a cone, but is actually a woody catkin (female), of which there is a (male) pollen counterpart. A catkin is a pendant cluster of unisexual flowers. These alder woody catkins are the small cones that haphazardly decorate places like the Hammond Trail just south of the Clam Beach overlook. As our bike tires roll over, bounce off or slip on these cones and catkins, I like to think about how the tiny three-pronged tails sticking out of Doug fir cones are actually their bracts, nested just above their cone scales. Redwood cones are small and spherical, as is common of the Cupressaceae family, and to me, the tip of their scales look like a mouth with big lips. The spruce cones are more papery and the spaces between their scales look like secret cubby holes for fairies. Maybe I let my mind wander a little too far while biking uphill, but if I was a forest gnome, or a fairy living under the sorrel, I’d hide my treasures there. The woody seed cones and catkins are tough and resilient, much like the women who ride on Mondays. Some of them have seeds of their own — young or grown children. But kids and responsibilities are miraculously put on hold for the ladies’ ride. Pumping legs into the steep hills, I have marveled at the dedication of moms, students, professors, semi-pro riders and beginners, scientists, nurses, administrators and retirees. All together under the trees, we are there to cheer each other on, unconditionally. Like the mycorrhizal fungi networks the trees rely on, we share resources. Bike gear, clothes and advice are traded freely. We chat for too long at the top of climbs, coordinate childcare and carpools when possible, and never leave anyone behind. Mountain biking can be hard and

intimidating, but not with this group. We cheer each other on through switchbacks or down drops, but also through breakups, divorces, child rearing, job changes, life plans and career-building. We talk about schemes and dreams over logs and rocks or post-ride pie and cider. Friendships form and grow out there in the dirt, and I am beyond grateful to be part of such an incredible web of women. People may come and go, as is the ebb and flow of life, but it doesn’t matter if it’s been years or hours since your last ride — no one cares as long as you are having fun. Our times together are always fun, sometimes challenging, usually full of laughter. When possible, birthdays mean cycling with onesies and costumes. For one of our steadfast members’ 50th birthday, yours truly showed up late wearing spandex and oven mitts, carrying a stillhot cupcake pan. The weekly rides were started by women who wanted to encourage more women to ride by creating a welcoming space — and that it has. We now call ourselves the Humboldt Ladies MTB group and we communicate on an ever-growing Whatsapp chat by the same name. As I write this, we are at 96 women and counting. By next week, there will be more. The ride is every Monday, usually around 5:30 p.m., maybe 6 in the summer. It might get more organized in the future but for now it’s completely grassroots. Whoever wants to ride puts a text on the chat, proposing a time and place. The location changes. If you’re a female-identifying person who loves mountain biking, message us on Facebook to join the Whatsapp group. See you in the woods. ● Hollie Ernest (she/her) is a botanist and forestry technician.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Klamath Salmon Season Starting to Heat Up By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

ntil recently, it had been somewhat of a slow start to the salmon season on the lower Klamath. And that’s to be expected. The late spring rains that fell in June increased flows and cooled the water. Both scenarios did wonders for the spring salmon, allowing them to make their way upriver to their spawning grounds. And by the looks of it, they have arrived at the upper Trinity in good numbers. To date, the Junction City weir has trapped 26 days and collected a robust 1,666 kings, including 46 jacks. Comparing that to last year, the same weir trapped for a total of 109 days for 1,848 kings. By all accounts, it appears the spring run, so far, is better than the previous few years. But now as the warm inland temperatures begin to warm the water flowing to the estuary, the salmon will likely slow down and hold. This is just what the anglers have been waiting for. Since it opened to fishing July 1, boats trolling near the mouth have caught just a handful of fish. But that is slowly starting to change. Spring-run regulations are in effect through Aug. 14, with a daily bag and possession limit of one salmon of any size. The fall quota won’t begin until Aug. 15.

Tuesday. The tide prediction for Wednesday is for a low tide of -2.09 feet at 6:17 a.m. and a high tide of 8.39 feet at 11:57 p.m. Thursday will see a -2.17-feet low at 7:05 a.m. and a high of 8.23 feet at 12:50 a.m. Friday. Areas most likely to see minor flooding are King Salmon and the Arcata bottoms.

Redtail perch/California halibut

The redtail perch bite has really picked the past couple weeks on the local beaches. One of the top spots has been Centerville Beach but you can catch them at just about any beach. Another top producer has been the mouth of the Klamath. The California halibut bite is also heating up. A few limits were reported this week, along with a lot of shorts. The minimum size is 22 inches and the daily bag and possession limit is three.

The Oceans: Eureka

The Pacific halibut action is still really good, reports Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. He said, “Monday they didn’t bite great due to the conditions but prior to that it’s been pretty easy limits. They’ve moved in a little shallower lately but some are still being caught out in 300 feet of water. The black cod are still prevalent; we’ve been having better luck using sand dabs. The fish are a good size, with

Shelter Cove

“We’re still getting easy limits of rockfish,” said Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “The lings have been a little tougher to come by. The boats that made it to Gorda for Pacific halibut averaged about a half fish per rod.” Recreational ocean salmon fishing from the 40°10’ line, which includes Fort Bragg and Shelter Cove to Point Arena, is closed until July 22. The season will resume July 22-Sept. 5.

Crescent City

“Thresher sharks have showed up on South Beach this week and quite a few were caught,” said Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. “Anglers slow trolling a herring or anchovy did really well. A few California halibut are being caught along the beach as well, but it’s not redhot. The rockfish bite, however, is on fire.

Limits of rockfish and lingcod are coming easily by anglers. The South Reef has been really good this year.”

Lower Klamath

Spring salmon fishing improved quite a bit for trollers in the Klamath estuary Tuesday. Anchovies rigged with a spinner blade has been the top producer so far, but some are being caught on spinners and Cut Plugs. Best fishing has been on the incoming and a couple hours after the high.

It’s a dang scorcher today, even on the coast, and I don’t intend on spending the daylight looking at a screen, tapping away at a slowly heating keyboard, while the busy sounds of the landscaping industry hums and chugs into my open windows. Plus, the neighbor’s dog won’t shut up. So that’s it, I’m going to hit the water for a while. See you in the papers (and hopefully not in the news section). Adieu.

Thursday

It is with no reservation of pleasure that I report the return of the Humboldt Folklife Festival after a too-long slumber, for reasons I’m sure you are all aware of. Today is the kick-off, with The Starhoppers blasting the inaugural note on a lineup including Bayou Swamis, Canary and the Vamp and Huckleberry Flint. If those names pique your interest, rally outside Dell’Arte with the rest of the joyous crowd starting at 5 p.m. The ticket situation is an evolving one over the three days, but today’s deal is a very reasonable $20 for gen pop, $15 for members of the Humboldt Folklife Society and $5 for kids.

Assuming you have not absconded across the county line to join the rest of the glowstick celebrants awash in the sonic dream machine’s supranatural, bass-boosted, electronic Mass (aka Northern Nights Festival), then I suspect you are in the mood for something a little more low-key tonight. How about a comedy show? Taylor Clark is a skateboarder and comedian who has taken the former’s DIY culture and applied it to the latter’s stand-up performance to forge a career that has taken him from Brooklyn to Seattle and many points in between. I’ve been boosting a lot of comedy shows lately because I enjoy the novelty of Eureka having a comedy club with Savage Henry and I think that people should be laughing more in general. The show’s at 9 p.m. and $15 will get you past whoever’s at the door.

radio sensation run out of the Arcata Playhouse’s HQ, is throwing a fundraiser today at Septentrio Winery. 4 p.m., ($5-$10 suggested donation). I need hardly mention that it’s for a good cause, as we all know how big the gulf has been regarding local radio since the crappy scuttling of KHSU by a group of bandits who have since largely left the community, cash in hand. I want Humboldt Hot Air to thrive and so should you. Consider taking a gander at this gig, featuring Inscrutable Rabbit, Hudson Glover, Uncredible Phin Band, Red Hot Shame and Die Geister Beschwören. Later on at 9 p.m., the Miniplex is putting on a good one for all you ambient music heads. Folian and Canadensis are Portland acts touring under the same mixed media performance banner, while Oryan Peterson-Jones is well known here and abroad as an ambassador of folk sounds. However, the real hidden gem is thousands of burning christmas trees, a local lo-fi beauty that hardly ever sees the light of a stage. Having lived with the chief architect of this enigma for a number of years, I can tell you that the music is fantastic. And you know I’m being sincere because by admission I have acknowledged hearing this shit play over and again through a shared wall with the bathroom and I still love it. The show is free, so why not give it a shot?

“Great things returning to Humboldt,” I’m very happy to flog this gig. The Pine Hill Haints are an Alabama group that plays music often considered largely dead to this chaotically dreary world we have all created through unwilling consensus. I’m talking about old-form sounds, like singing saws, talking banjos and creeping fiddle. Consider a dusty crossroads in the bonelands of yesteryear where gospel music pours sparks of light onto a wet highway of murder ballads and hard times. That’s this band. Come check it out at Siren’s Song Tavern at 7 p.m. ($5). Local punk-offshoot operators The Smashed Glass is here, too.

Monday

I am happy to end the curse of quiet Mondays that have plagued the Setlist this summer. However, the show is a developing one as of press time. What I can share is that Los Angeles’ earnest and dark pop act Saint Heartbreak will be playing Siren›s Song Tavern sometime this evening, with local support from the resurrected Los Perdidos and Birdpaw, about whose sound I know nothing. Time and door charge are also unknown at the moment. Sorry to be vague but those are the breaks sometimes. For what it’s worth, the headliner has some pretty cool songs on its bandcamp page.

Tuesday

Lorenzo Valdambrini, whose love of classic California surf music has informed every aspect of his career since the mid-1990s. A quick exploration of his live sets on YouTube has assured me of the sincerity and skill behind the man’s passion. The Old Steeple hosts his band tonight, with The Starhoppers providing local support at 7:30 p.m. ($25, $20 advance).

Wednesday

The Miniplex is the latest waystation for the Triple Trouble Tour, a package show that sees three talented troubadours heating up the summer concert scene. Ryan Cassata is a barrier-breaking trans artist whose music has appeared live and on the airwaves across the nation, while Tom Goss has a similar CV regarding TV soundtrack spots. de Roche is the pop solo project of Liz de Roche, whose drums, keyboards and vocals have been featured in bands like Cane & the Sticks and The Pushovers. This queer-friendly lineup has a meet-and-greet VIP package going for $40, while general admission is $15. The fun starts at 7:30 p.m., so nighthawks take note. ● Collin Yeo (he/him) looks before and after, and pines for what is not. His sincerest laughter, with some pain, is frought. His sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. Wait no, that’s Shelley’s skylark. He lives in Arcata.

SCREENS

Taika Waititi Takes Thor Over the Rainbow Bridge By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER. As I lay in the emergency room on July 3 — with a non-explosives-related digital wound, as I abhor cliché — writing about a Marvel movie was perhaps the furthest thing from my mind. Realistically, I was probably busy scrambling for hand-trauma jokes (Will I ever play the piano? What about my career as a hand model? My editor’s gonna kill me if I can’t hammer the F key like I’m supposed to!), none of which I delivered and all of which would have withered before the hilarity of the P.A.’s pronouncement of, “You’re not going to like what I have to tell you.” Near-amputations notwithstanding, I don’t dedicate much idle time to daydreaming about the MCU; other than the copious outpouring of lamentation and regret laid out almost weekly in this very forum. In my (indefensible) defense, time has proven Thor movies outliers among their dour, joy-consuming kin, which is the predominant reason I’ve developed a soft spot (my head) for them. Unlike the immovable bulk of most of the MCU, Thor has taken on an unexpected, dynamic arc. In the beginning, his story was as archly self-serious — falsely Nordic, maybe — as they come; I mean, Kenneth Branagh? Over time, though, Chris Hemsworth’s hero has emerged as the goofiest, most gleefully unaware of the bunch, so much so that these movies stand almost completely apart from the rest of the “canon.” While I would like to imagine this is due, at least in part, to a degree of cleverness and self-effacement on the part of our otherworldly physiqued star (see Spiderhead for more evidence of this), the traits and tropes that make the last couple Thor pictures so endearing are very much trademarks of their driving creative force, burgeoning media impresario Taika Waititi. And yes, in case any of the faithful have read this far, we must of course give credit to super-producer and demigod Kevin Feige, under whose aegis all things superhero-y are made possible.

He’s a 10 but he’s always hanging out on the plaza. Thor: Love and Thunder

Anyway, Waititi made the unlikely, fortuitous leap from directing episodes of Flight of the Conchords, Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) and What We Do in the Shadows (2014) — one of the greatest movie comedies of the century, incidentally, with a follow-up FX series that rivals it, note for note — to helming Thor: Ragnarok (2017), a delightfully candy-colored departure from, almost-inversion of, the standards and practices of the franchise. Ragnarok introduced an element of silliness, but also a gentle, unafraid vulnerability to the works that grounded, tempered and humanized the whole affair. It posited the notion that the MCU could make room for humor not reliant on a certain star/ protagonist’s quick-witted snark, while simultaneously debriding much of the forced green-screen gloom that defines and degrades its counterparts. Worth noting here is the fact that Waititi has spread his influence all over mainstream media of late, vying for Oscars with JoJo Rabbit (2019), fancying-up pirate lore in Our Flag Means Death and exercising his off-set acumen to engineer a deal for writer-director Sterlin Harjo. That last collaboration has yielded the series Reservation Dogs and, hopefully, forced a foot into Hollywood’s doorway for movies and television by and about Indigenous people. Which is, of course, a topic worthy of greater and more intelligent exploration than I’m likely capable of. And so, in a roundabout way, we arrive at Thor: Love and Thunder, wherein our hero gets himself back to fighting trim and proceeds to bounce around the universe with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Jane

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

Foster (Natalie Portman), Korg (Waititi) and occasionally the Guardians of the Galaxy in pursuit of a justifiably pissed-off apostate called Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who has abducted the children of New Asgard to bait his trap. There’s some heady stuff about fallacies of faith, the inevitability of endings and the importance of engaging one’s own weakness here, all cleverly incorporated into a jaunty, fairly gay adventure with Guns N Roses all over the soundtrack and some ingenious nods to the delicious ’80s channeling of ’50s set-piece grandiosity. It may not be perfect, inasmuch as it cannot complete dispense with its provenance (if only!), and my appreciation of it might have been enhanced by pain management. But the fact remains that this is a subversive outlier, bold and brightly arrayed, right in the middle of the big, dark Marvel universe. Which is a surprisingly hopeful thing in frequently hopeless times. ● John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

uring my Washed Up World Tour performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, I wanted to hear funny accents, so I did a Q&A session. Someone asked what’s the most common thing I find washed up on the beach. I said, “Sand.” A big, ugly bastard with bad hair started to boo and others joined in. One guy even yelled, “Judas!” I guess they thought I was being a prick. I’ve had nachos and hotdogs thrown at me before, but this crowd pelted me with jellied eels and pickled periwinkles. And I even got hit in the mouth by a spotted dick. So, I never got to explain why “sand” is a totally sincere answer. But now I will. Sandy beaches don’t just sit there. Sand washes up, down and sideways in the surf all day. If sand never washed up, you’d just have a rocky beach that would suck for volleyball. Sand is defined as any granular mineral material bigger than silt and smaller than gravel — that is, between 0.0625 and 2.0 millimeters. To the organisms that live in or on sand, grain size is important. For example, surf smelt prefer to spawn in coarse grains, sandworms usually prefer fine sand and mole crabs live in both but can burrow faster in coarse sand. The most common mineral in continental sand is silicon dioxide in the form of quartz. This is because quartz is very common, hard and doesn’t readily dissolve in water. So, quartz is what’s mostly left over after a mountain is weathered away and rivers deliver it to the sea. Some sands, like in the Sahara Desert, are almost pure quartz. And many tropical white and pink beaches are made from the calcium carbonate of coral and small shell grains. There are also green beaches due to the mineral olivine. The famous black sand beaches of Hawaii are composed of iron-rich and quartzrich grains of volcanic rock. Humboldt’s not-quite-as-famous black sand beaches form from weathered silty sedimentary rock that is also iron-rich, which makes it

dark in color. Minerals in sand other than quartz continue breaking down and eventually become silt and clay minerals. This is one reason Humboldt’s near shore waters are not especially clear. The color of sand matters to more beings than tourists. For example, certain dune-living grasshoppers precisely match their local sand. The colors of the different sand grains are matched by the speckles on the grasshoppers. And individuals of the same species differ in color from beach to beach. Their camouflage is near perfect. Sand also records who has been by recently. After a calm night, you might notice all sorts of animal tracks in the sand — everything from beetles to bears. The movement of sand on beaches is also important for beachcombing. In my experience, low-profile, scoured, gravelly beaches seem to receive more washed-up stuff than high-profile sandy beaches. I think this is because the surf pushes debris farther in and away from the longshore current that moves things laterally. You can witness this beach profile change seasonally if you monitor a stationary object like a large rock or partially buried stump. A change of 6 feet in beach elevation between winter and summer is not uncommon. Anyway, the more I reflected on the wonders of sand and my Royal Albert Hall disaster, the angrier I became. So, I reviewed the performance footage and noticed that the instigating bastard was the U.K. prime minister! I presented the evidence to several Tory Members of Parliament who owed me favors. The resulting scandal brought down that Boris Johnson arsehole. You’re welcome, British citizens. 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.

June 7, 1952 - June 12, 2022 Heaven welcomed a new angel on Sunday June 12, 2022. Patrick H.B. Porter was born in Los Angeles on June 7, 1952 to a family of writers, artists, readers and theater people. He grew up in Echo Park in the Silverlake area, as an only child with a vivid imagination. He read, drew, created, wrote and was always busy. In 1963, he attended the first Renaissance Pleasure Faire. The faire impressed Patrick - a lover of history, inspired him to return as a performer and director. He created props and handmade costumes. He created original plays and entertainments. He taught workshops there, and taught living history (in costume!) to the LA city schools. Patrick traveled with fair friends to San Francisco every winter to perform at the Great Dicken’s Christmas fair. At Los Angeles City College Patrick met many friends with the same interests. He made puppets, proofread, and wrote resumes. His passion for history included the Italian renaissance, England’s Tudor, Elizabethan, and Victorian Eras. He loved words and was a voracious reader. He would read backwards without thinking (Latin, French, some Spanish). For a while, he owned a small croissant/ coffee shop in downtown LA. Settling in Ferndale in 1990, he wrote and published five books. He continued his passions for theater and teaching, as best as he was able. Those who knew Patrick well found him to be a kind, gentle soul with a wonderful, and quirky sense of humor. Multi-faceted and talented, he was a true brilliant, renaissance man. He survived by his cat “Monkey” and a friendship with Ellie Green and family that lasted many decades. Heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Renown Medical Center in Reno Nevada, for the care they gave to Patrick. A celebration of life will be held at the Ferndale Community Church on Sunday, July 17, at 11:45 a.m.

Robert McKee

6/23, 6/30, 7/7, 7/14 (22−262)

January 15, 1929 -January 21, 2022 “Someone once asked, who are the three most important men in your life? And I said, I think it was Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, and my father, only in reverse order.” Robert McKee, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great grandfather and visionary community member died peacefully in San Francisco on January 21st 2022. He was born in Eureka on January 15, 1929 and spent his early childhood at the family homestead in Whitethorn. After the untimely deaths of his parents, Vernon Calvin McKee and Rebecca Snavely, he moved to Eureka to live with his paternal grandmother, Nettie Cookson. His grandmother lived on a civil war pension, and she also rented out rooms to men who worked at the lumber and woolen mills. As a small boy, Bob began adding to their income by collecting and selling scrap metal and newspapers, beginning his appreciation for work that lasted throughout his life. In his own words, “Eureka was a wonderful place to grow up— so many things to see and do.” He loved to go out early in the morning to watch the street lights turn off, the town waking up and folks showing up for all different kinds of jobs. In high school, Bob became fascinated with automobiles and ended up buying, rebuilding and trading all sorts of cars, motorbikes and even an airplane, an interest that never left him. He joined the navy the day he turned 17 and worked on a destroyer tender docked in Tsingtao on the Yellow Sea in China. After the Navy, he worked in a lumber mill, drove a laundry truck, got a job at Humboldt Land and Title and also started taking classes at Humboldt State University on the GI bill. He married Barbara Andrews in 1952. Their daughter Rebecca was born in 1953 and their son Rob in 1955. Bob worked as a timber cruiser and in his father-in-law’s grocery store while continuing to go to school part time and building his first house, a duplex in Cutten. He loved becoming a father and said “It was just a wonderful feeling”. Barbara and Bob realized that they had very different goals and desires in their life and ended up separating. Barbara moved to Berkeley with the kids, and Bob moved to San Francisco to be near the kids and do carpentry work. While in San Francisco, he became part of a circle of friends (some from Humboldt) who were poets, writers, teachers, and students of Buddhism. He and Valery White, who had separated from her first husband, Locke McCorkle, started spending time together, fell in love and made the decision to move back to the Mckee Family homestead in Whitethorn and start a life together. They arrived on July 1, 1957 with Val’s three kids and all of their worldly possessions. Their daughter Lela was born in 1958, a little sister for Rebecca, Sita, Tasha, Rob, and Sean. During summers and holidays, the six kids explored the

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

forest, built forts and played in the Mattole River. Bob got a job teaching and taught at Whitethorn, Ettersburg and Redway elementary schools. Following his teaching career he returned to his love of design and building. His interest in buying land and developing home sites was spurred by the migration of young people wanting to escape urban life and rigid societal expectations, and “move back to the land”. In order to get the building materials Bob needed for his projects, he started Whitethorn Construction. He always said you need to do more than one kind of work to make a living here, and he did that through land sales, selling building supplies, and as a designer-builder. Bob loved work and saw no difference between a work day and a day off. He worked 7 days a week until he was 90. He loved people and community and helped many create homes here as well as community gathering places and open space. He and his wife Valery were married for 60 years, sharing a love for the beauty of nature, poetry, and art. They collaborated on a number of creative projects. Bob finally slowed down in the last few years of his life, spending time with friends and family, playing Texas Hold’em with his buddies, reading the Tao Te Ching, writing haikus and sitting on his deck in the sun overlooking the valley below. In his final year, he collaborated with Ray Rafael recording the story of his life. This veritable “life review” was a very satisfying enterprise for Bob and all who participated. This more reflective period was a gift to all who knew him. As his friends at Redwoods Monastery described him, “Bob had, in the last months of his life, a tenderness, an awe, an awareness that was striking”. Bob was preceded in death by his sisters, Joyce Callahan and Jean Ridgeway, his wife Valery, his son, Sean McKee and his son-in-law, Ron Macaruso. He is survived by his children, Rebecca McKee, Sita Formosa (David), Tasha ( Jim Groeling), Rob McKee (Maryellen), Lela McKee Friel (Jimmy), his nephews Vern Callahan (Kristen), Aaron White (Shawn), Conrad White (Carlea), his nieces, Debbie Mason, Kathy Rose (Pete Gray), Cindy Lewis (Bobby), Kirsten White (Lee Robbino), Valery White (Malcolm Shuttles), and eleven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. The family wishes to thank all of the caregivers, medical staff, mentors and friends near and far who gave much love, support and the gift of cards and flowers to Bob and his family. Our gratitude is overflowing! A community celebration of Bob’s life will be held on Sunday, Sept. 18 at Whitethorn Construction, 3-8:30pm. “I Like It Here,” the oral history written by Bob and Ray, will be available at the celebration. Donations in Bob’s name may be made to Heart of the Redwoods Community Hospice, Redwoods Monastery, or Sanctuary Forest.

ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): With a fanciful flourish, Aries poet Seamus Heaney wrote, “I ate the day / Deliberately, that its tang / Might quicken me all into verb, pure verb.” I’d love for you to be a pure verb for a while, Aries. Doing so would put you in robust rapport with astrological rhythms. As a pure verb, you’ll never be static. Flowing and transformation will be your specialties. A steady stream of fresh inspiration and new meanings will come your way. You already have an abundance of raw potential for living like a verb—more than all the other signs of the zodiac. And in the coming weeks, your aptitude for that fluidic state will be even stronger than usual. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to Arthurian myth, the Holy Grail is a cup that confers magical powers. Among them are eternal youth, miraculous healing, the restoration of hope, the resurrection of the dead, and an unending supply of healthy and delicious food and drink. Did the Grail ever exist as a material object? Some believe so. After 34 years of research, historian David Adkins thinks he’s close to finding it. He says it’s buried beneath an old house in Burton-on-Trent, a town in central England. I propose we make this tantalizing prospect your metaphor of power during the coming weeks. Why? I suspect there’s a chance you will discover a treasure or precious source of vitality. It may be partially hidden in plain sight or barely disguised in a mundane setting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m pleased to authorize you to be extra vast and extensive in the coming weeks. Like Gemini poet Walt Whitman, you should never apologize and always be proud of the fact that you contain multitudes. Your multivalent, wide-ranging outlook will be an asset, not a liability. We should all thank you for being a grand compendium of different selves. Your versatility and elasticity will enhance the well-being of all of us whose lives you touch. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your memory is SUBSTANTIAL. Your sensitivity is MONUMENTAL. Your urge to nurture is DEEP. Your complexity is EPIC. Your feelings are BOTTOMLESS. Your imagination is PRODIGIOUS. Because of all these aptitudes and capacities, you are TOO MUCH for some people. Not everyone can handle your intricate and sometimes puzzling BEAUTY. But there are enough folks out there who do appreciate and thrive on your gifts. In the coming weeks and months, make it your quest to focus your urge to merge on them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I love these lines by Leo poet Conrad Aiken: “Remember (when time comes) how chaos died to shape the shining leaf.” I hope this lyrical thought will help you understand the transformation you’re going through. The time has come for some of your chaos to expire—and in doing so, generate your personal equivalent of shining leaves. Can you imagine what the process would look and feel like? How might it unfold? Your homework is to ponder these wonders. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A British woman named Andie Holman calls herself the Scar Queen. She says, “Tight scar tissue creates pain, impacts mobility, affects your posture, and usually looks bad.” Her specialty is to diminish the limiting effects of scars, restoring flexibility and decreasing aches. Of course, she works with actual physical wounds, not the psychological kind. I wish I could refer you to healers who would help you with the latter, Virgo. Do you know any? If not, seek one out. The good news is that you now have more personal power than usual to recover from your old traumas and diminish your scars. I urge you to make such work a priority in the coming weeks. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ancient Roman philosopher Seneca wrote, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” But a Spanish proverb suggests a different element may be necessary: “Good luck comes by elbowing.” (Elbowing refers to the gesture you use as you push your way through a

crowd, nudging people away from the path you want to take.) A Danish proverb says that preparation and elbowing aren’t enough: “Luck will carry someone across the brook if they are not too lazy to leap.” Modern author Wendy Walker has the last word: “Fortune adores audacity.” I hope I’ve inspired you to be alert to the possibility that extra luck is now available to you. And I hope I’ve convinced you to be audacious, energetic, well-prepared, and willing to engage in elbowing. Take maximum advantage of this opportunity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many Scorpios imagine sex to be a magnificent devotion, a quintessential mode of worship, an unparalleled celebration of sacred earthiness. I endorse and admire this perspective. If our culture had more of it, the art and entertainment industries would offer far less of the demeaning, superficial versions of sexuality that are so rampant. Here’s another thing I love about Scorpios: So many of you grasp the value of sublimating lust into other fun and constructive accomplishments. You’re skilled at channeling your high-powered libido into practical actions that may have no apparent erotic element. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to do a lot of that. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A Sagittarius reader named Jenny-Sue asked, “What are actions I could take to make my life more magical?” I’m glad she asked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to raise your delight and enchantment levels, to bask in the blessed glories of alluring mysteries and uncanny synchronicities. Here are a few tips: 1. Learn the moon’s phases and keep track of them. 2. Acquire a new sacred treasure and keep it under your pillow or in your bed. 3. Before sleep, ask your deep mind to provide you with dreams that help generate creative answers to a specific question. 4. Go on walks at night or at dawn. 5. Compose a wild or funny prayer and shout it aloud it as you run through a field. 6. Sing a soulful song to yourself as you gaze into a mirror. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Being able to receive love doesn’t come easy for some Capricorns. You may also not be adept at making yourself fully available for gifts and blessings. But you can learn these things. You can practice. With enough mindful attention, you might eventually become skilled at the art of getting a lot of what you need and knowing what to do with it. And I believe the coming weeks will be a marvelous time to increase your mastery. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If I don’t practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.” This quote is variously attributed to violinist Jascha Heifetz, trumpeter Louis Armstrong, and violinist Isaac Stern. It’s a fundamental principle for everyone who wants to get skilled at any task, not just for musicians. To become a master of what you love to do, you must work on it with extreme regularity. This is always true, of course. But according to my astrological analysis, it will be even more intensely true and desirable for you during the coming months. Life is inviting you to raise your expertise to a higher level. I hope you’ll respond! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In May 2021, Jessica and Ben Laws got married on their dairy farm. The ceremony unfolded smoothly, but an unforeseen event interrupted the reception party. A friend who had been monitoring their herd came to tell the happy couple that their pregnant cow had gone into labor and was experiencing difficulties. Jessica ran to the barn and plunged into active assistance, still clad in her lovely floor-length bridal gown and silver tiara. The dress got muddy and trashed, but the birth was successful. The new bride had no regrets. I propose making her your role model for now. Put practicality over idealism. Opt for raw and gritty necessities instead of neat formalities. Serve what’s soulful, even if it’s messy. l

President’s Message

e couldn't do it without you. Since 1990 is how long the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo has been bringing excitement to the fourth weekend in July. The 2007 event was dedicated to the memory of Pete Perdew, and so we all worked extra hard to make it special. We think we succeeded and we would like to thank those who helped make it happen. Because of all of you, we were able to award scholarships again this year and plan to continue to do so in the future. Special thanks go to all the merchants and professionals who generously donated goods for prizes and funds for trophies. Your continued cooperation and enthusiasm is gratefully appreciated. We also thank the media for their excellent cooperation and coverage. Our "Friendly City" nickname is well earned and the atmosphere it creates for visitors during AutoXpo is often remarked upon by our participants. We Build to edgewhat of the our document appreciate community does in Margins are just a safe area

support of our event. The small army of volunteers, many of whom have helped all seventeen years, always make us look good as they attend to the many tasks, not all of them fun, which are necessary to keep all our venues operating smoothly. From standing on a street corner during the Cruise on Friday, to helping with clean-up on Sunday night, we would be lost without our volunteers throughout the weekend. And, of course, an army is always looking for recruits, so if you, too, want to be overworked and under appreciated, give us a call at (707) 572-7855 and get your name on the list for next year. We cannot say enough about the excellence and cooperation of our police and parks departments. They are always there for us to make our vision a reality. They anticipate our needs and deliver on our wishes. So, thank you Fortuna, for being such a great place to be all the time, and an extraordinary place to be during AutoXpo.

AutoXpo Fans know You Need a Good Team Under the Hood!

Celebrating 31 years of cool cars and other fun activities What began in 1990 with a gathering of approximately 20 cars in Fortuna on Main Street between 9th and 10th Streets, is now a three-day celebration with more than 500 cars and thousands of spectators. Originally known as Fortuna Autorama, the name was changed to Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo with the 2006 event. The 30th Anniversary celebration of Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo was delayed one year, due to the pandemic. Although vintage and classic cars are at the center of the event, there are plenty of other activities, such as the artisan faire and swap meet, hit and miss antique gas engines and antique tractors, and a Saturday night barbecue, all held at Rohner Park. There is also a poker run, starting at Fortuna Union High School, where the annual Show & Shine vintage and classic cars

are on display. To get a good look at the cars participating in Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo, be sure to watch the Friday Night cruise on Fortuna Boulevard, and walk through the judged car show on Main Street Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants in AutoXpo vote for the winning cars in a number of categories. To find out who the winners are and see the awards presented, come to Rohner Park on Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo Committee President Ryan Walters said, “Our ‘friendly city’ nickname is well earned and the atmosphere it creates for visitors during AutoXpo is often remarked upon by our participants. We appreciate what our community does in support of our event,” he added. – Mary Bullwinkel, Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo Photographer
