Priorities

Editor:

Thanks for all the great info! I’m often thrilled with the breadth of topics covered. I don’t usually complain but I was especially upset to read that Humboldt has decided to allocate funds to repair the horse racing grandstand with moneys set aside for general maintenance in Humboldt (“Supes Pony Up $1 Million in Effort to Save Horse Racing at the Fair,” July 6). There are two (!) landslides on the Briceland/Thorn Road in So Hum that are incredibly dangerous to maneuver. There are just little stop signs around blind corners that prevent us all from driving off a cliff! I beg our supervisors to drive this road and see for themselves what they are putting locals and many, many tourists in large RVs through. There are schools in Southern Humboldt county filled with asbestos that should be torn down but are still being used, threatening the lives of all children and staff who use those buildings. They have to wax the toxic chemicals into the floor each year so that the scrapping of chairs doesn’t release toxic dust into the air in the classrooms!

Most importantly to me, this was a chance to admit that horse racing (let’s not even get started with this rodeo crap everyone thinks is OK to do to animals) is abuse. Horses are intelligent creatures deserving of respect and they should not be forced to risk their lives for the benefit of people to gawk at them and bet money on. It’s horrifying to see how little morals Humboldt really has when it comes to changing traditions. This was a chance to say, “You know what? Horse racing is pretty cruel and since the earthquake

(mother nature) is trying to tell us not to do it, maybe we should listen.” But no, let’s waste tax payer money on fixing the grandstand at the fairgrounds instead of making the roads or schools we use all the time safer.

I beg you No Hum folks to come drive our roads. See why we are upset and feel like we are ignored. It’s literally tragic, the state of our roads and the schools. As for me, I send my kid up north for school.

‘Good Job’

Editor:

I was amazed that 60 percent of California State University undergraduates pay no tuition (Mailbox, July 13), that the Schneider house will be torn down (“PlanCo Approves Permits to Tear Down Schneider ‘Dream Home,’” July 13). (Can’t something positive be made from it — a native cultural center, a medical clinic, or perhaps just let the kids play basketball and skate on the concrete slab?) And I have saved the article on fungi (“Fungi for All Seasons,” July 13).

Good job.

Kudos’

Editor:

Right now, when our collective cuckoo clocks seem turned back half a century regarding civil rights, tolerance, and basic human decency, it is so refreshing to finally witness first hand an American tradition take a progressively firm stance in favor of all our LGBTQ+ fellow-Americans.

Of course I refer to American rodeos and specifically to the Fortuna Rodeo and obviously to how they lassoed the trans-

Language Lesson

for Rivka, age 3

The language I teach you won’t obliterate wordless thought but leave space for silence and sensation. It counts, categorizes, but also wonders at wild, uncountable, unnamable things.

We’ll send each other messages ripe with meaning, gradually growing a shared comprehension, and all talk stops when we encounter the incomprehensible.

Let’s not fill in the blanks; they are holy places where knowing and not knowing meet and merge, like please and thank you, the two essential words, stronger and kinder than yes and no.

I’ll teach you to speak as the world was spoken into being, every tree, rock and cloud a poetic phrase, each earthquake, storm and sunset an exclamation, every breeze a breath.

Can we chat like bees and blossoms do?

Like fawns following their mother?

Like river water rushing over rocks?

We could recover a primeval proto-lexicon for weaving baskets, gathering berries, following tracks and trails, scanning the forest for opportunity or danger, listening closely, recognizing faces.

Seventy thousand years ago our ancestors brought forth language, and spread from continent to continent, talking all the while, as what was real co-mingled with fictive plans, visions, and tales.

Now two young bucks with velvet antlers step cautiously across the yard, a small doe follows. They nibble grass and thimbleberries that the Wiyot call deerboukshughutsguqhe’ (little-one-hangs-upside-down)

Perched at the picnic table I taste tidbits of language and scribble words on paper, trying to find a way to teach you how to say what you want to say to yourself, to me and to the world.

As we all know this connective reference is to the brilliant and creatively unique “This Rodeo is for You.” At first glance it seems a Green Horn’s attempt to rustle from a well-known campaign, but a second look reveals how in all actuality by using this particular advert, the Fortuna Rodeo is leading the local LGBTQ+ community’s parade toward gender neutrality in an arena not normally famous for carte blanche acceptance.

Bravissimo kudos, Fortuna. Some suspected you to be nearly as steepled in

conservatism as our neighboring Infernal’s Fryinhell Damnwell, but now we have nothing but pride for you, thanks to your enthusiastic waving of the rainbow banner. Can we look forward to dragsters and drag shows at the Autorama?

COUNTY MAKER

Hunger in Humboldt

Kathleen Ok-soo Richards, Alta Journal newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

When Woodsie Hunsucker wants to buy groceries, the 25-year-old gets in his truck and drives over 46 miles — 6 of them on a dirt road — from his home along the Klamath River on the Yurok Reservation to the Walmart in Crescent City. The drive alone takes him about three hours; with shopping, the entire experience can easily eat up six or seven hours of his day.

Food isn’t just hard to get to; it’s also difficult to afford. Hunsucker usually gets paid every two weeks, and he tries to stock up on enough groceries — mostly canned goods and other nonperishables — until his next paycheck. He says that his income is just above the amount needed to qualify for CalFresh, the state’s food stamp program, so he occasionally supplements his diet with meat and fish that he hunts and food that he grows.

“It’s been like this my whole life. This is nothing new to me,” Hunsucker says.

The North Coast may be known for its rugged beauty and proximity to vast redwood forests, but for those like Hunsucker who live here, it can also be a challenging place to get enough to eat. A combination of geography, poverty, rurality, a lack of grocery stores and high housing costs contributes to food insecurity in Humboldt County. More recently, climate change, the pandemic, inflation and the sharp decline in the cannabis industry have exacerbated the problem.

According to the latest data from Feeding America, 14 percent of the population in Humboldt County is considered food insecure, which is defined as lacking “consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life.” By comparison, the nationwide average is 10 percent. Hum-

boldt County has the third-highest food insecurity rate in the state.

“The need is huge,” says Robert Sataua, the emergency food response coordinator at Food for People, the county’s food bank. “We’re seeing the highest number we’ve seen in all our programs. … With the gas prices being so expensive, folks can’t afford the food.”

To make matters worse, an emergency allotment tied to COVID-19 that allowed food stamp recipients across the country to receive the maximum benefit went away at the end of March (“‘Benefit Cliff,’” April 7, 2022). That means that individuals who were receiving up to $281 per month in food stamp benefits now could be receiving as little as $23 per month.

A weak local economy coupled with high housing costs means that living on the North Coast isn’t sustainable for many people. “In general, the story of our county right now is, the cost of living doesn’t match what our incomes are,” says Heidi McHugh, the CalFresh outreach and policy advocacy coordinator for Food for People. The Economic Policy Institute’s Family Budget Calculator estimates that for a family of three (two adults and one child) to be considered self-sufficient in Humboldt County, they would need to make about $74,000 per year. But the median household income hovers around $54,000 per year.

The implications of hunger are widespread and ripple across the community. “It affects every aspect of their life,” says McHugh, citing stress levels, feelings of hopelessness, children’s ability to learn, behavioral problems and health. “More people are showing up to hospitals for diet-related emergencies. Every part of a community gets impacted when people are hungry.”

The food bank serves 16,000 people — about 12 percent of Humboldt’s population — through a variety of programs, including distribution sites around the county, a Choice Pantry in Eureka that’s akin to a grocery store, produce markets and a mobile produce pantry that offers fresh fruits and vegetables. It also has programs for seniors and kids and offers emergency food assistance.

Still, it’s not enough.

“Food banks are designed to be emergency distributions for food, but we have people who come to us every single month,” says McHugh. “And they already have CalFresh [food stamps] and they’re still hungry. … For many people, we are the food they receive, and that’s rough because we’re not designed to be.”

Humboldt’s geography also creates challenges for food access. The county is spread out over 4,000 square miles, and

there are not that many grocery stores. With only a couple of highways in and out of the area, road closures due to wildfires, landslides, earthquakes or bad weather prevent trucks from delivering food to the area and people from accessing grocery stores.

“There are several points in the year when we’re cut off,” says Sataua. “It’s like an island here.”

Humboldt County has been hit particularly hard by natural disasters in the

past year, with the Dec. 20 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Ferndale and the 5.4 earthquake also shook the area on New Year’s Day. That was followed by brutal winter storms. Some residents didn’t have power for two weeks.

When I spoke with him in early March, Hunsucker said he’d been trapped at his trailer for two weeks by the recent snowstorms. And the generator powering his refrigerator had broken, so his food had spoiled and he was living off canned

goods.

The lack of cold storage facilities in the area has been another contributor to food insecurity in Humboldt, according to Anne Holcomb, Food for People’s executive director. In February of 2020, just as the pandemic was hitting the country, a city sewer malfunctioned and exploded into the food bank, causing irreparable damage. The building had to be torn down, forcing the food bank to relocate its staff and Continued

programs to four separate sites. The good news is that a new, larger facility with triple the refrigeration capacity of the previous location opened last month.

While local advocates are exploring several avenues to help the situation, such as supporting local food producers, improving coordinated responses to disasters and advocating for increased food stamp benefits at the state and federal levels, all acknowledge that solutions are far off. What may be needed is a more transformative approach.

On the Yurok Reservation, which was labeled a food desert by the United States Department of Agriculture, the tribe is shifting its focus from food security to food sovereignty. “In reality, we have plenty of food on our reservation — it just has to be gathered and processed,” says Annelia Hillman, the food village coordinator for the Yurok Tribe. “Food sovereignty for Indigenous people is reclaiming our traditional foods and traditional diets and being able to access our foods. … It’s defining our own food system.”

Hillman says timber companies displaced the tribe from its traditional hunting grounds, and fire-suppression policies prohibited its people from traditional

burning practices that allowed them to gather acorns, a staple of their traditional diet. Declining deer, elk and salmon populations also affected their food supply.

Thanks to several grants, including one from the USDA, the tribe is now working on everything from land restoration to educating the community on traditional practices like canning fish. Three “food villages” will use regenerative practices to grow fresh produce for the community.

“There is a gaining interest in eating traditional foods again,” says Hillman. “People are excited about it. We’ve got social media and TikTok and it’s catching on. … It’s hopeful. It’s exciting.”

Hunsucker says he hadn’t heard of the food villages on his reservation but has occasionally gotten help from the food bank’s mobile produce pantries. When I asked whether he’d consider moving to an area with better access to food, he was adamant.

“Even with all the hardships I’ve had to face, I can’t see myself living anywhere else,” he says. “It is nice here.” l

N thwind Ch t s Sp t Fishing

On a beautiful and rare sunny day at the Woodley Island Marina while overlooking their boat, Fishy Business, Lisa Dallam and Capt. Matt Dallam shared about their experience running Northwind Charters for the last 20 years. Matt explained, “We’re a boat for hire. Clients book boats to fish for Pacific halibut, California halibut, rock fish and albacore.” Northwind Charters runs over 100 trips each year.

Matt started at HSU in 2001 to study natural resources. “He went to school and came out a fisherman!” laughed Lisa. Matt has a deep love for the ocean and wanted to make his living from it. “There are so many things to see in the ocean,” remarked Matt.

This was amply demonstrated when Lisa was out commercial fishing in a 22-foot boat and a gray whale came inches away from the boat. It went to the stern and bounced up and down playing peekaboo, sprayed from its hole and fin-dropped. “We looked like a tiny boat compared to the monster beast,” said Lisa.

In addition to running bookings for Northwind Charters, Lisa is the assistant manager at Murphy’s Market in Glendale. Murphy’s Markets was one of the first local markets Lisa and Matt sold their fish to, which they have now been doing for 20 years. “That company supports their local fishermen and I have true respect for them,” said Lisa.

And remember, says Matt, “We o er full-boat discounts — that’s a six-pack private charter.

Graduation Day: A Fortuna Teacher Celebrates with her First Grade Class

Janell Hodges refers to the time between beginning her quest to become a teacher and her eventual triumph as one of life’s seasons. It was a season in which she became a mother, adopting her first son Samuel in 2006, and finding out he had special needs that required extra care and multiple surgeries. She had applied to attend Cal Poly Humboldt but becoming a full-time student wasn’t an option, so Hodges pivoted to working as an In-Home Supportive Services care provider.

“I needed to get him raised and go through all the things he needed,” Hodges says. “It was just a season in my life.”

That season ended and a new one began this spring, when Hodges celebrated her graduation from California State University at Fresno, having earned her teaching credential while interning at Linell K. Walker Elementary School in Fortuna. In the intervening decade, she volunteered for CASA, Hospice of Humboldt and the Humboldt County Coroner’s Office. Her family grew as she married, fostered her nieces and adopted a second son, Luke, who is now 9. Samuel, 17, is about to start his senior year at Fortuna High School.

Hodges always knew she wanted to continue her education but wrestled with finding a path forward that would be economically feasible for her family. She needed to work. She needed to be available to her kids. But all the while she nurtured an old dream, one that began with a crocheted red heart in her third grade teacher’s classroom.

“I grew up in a pretty dysfunctional family,” Hodges says. “I grew up in a home where there was abuse, drugs and all the other things. My [Adverse Childhood Experiences] score is like a 10.”

Hodges grew up in Woodleaf, about an hour away from Chico in the foothills. Most of her family was illiterate. As a child, she often had to go with family members to appointments to help them interpret

forms, trying to do so stealthily because they didn’t want anyone to know they couldn’t read.

“I didn’t realize how much it cripples your life,” she says, referring to her mother’s illiteracy. “After I moved, she couldn’t come see me because she couldn’t read signs.”

Hodges’ life was changed by the intervention of her teachers, particularly June Reinke, who taught third grade at Yuba Feather Elementary School in Challenge, California.

“She had this room called the ‘heart room,’” Hodges explains. “Every book you read you would get a heart that would go across the walls of the room. She had a crocheted red heart that was the prize for the student that read the most books.”

Hodges, who up until third grade had struggled with reading, decided she wanted that crocheted heart. With her teacher’s encouragement, she set to earning it, and dove into reading.

“I still have the heart,” she says. “It’s one of my most prized possessions. That was the year I finally learned to read. They say if you’re not a reader by third grade, you never really become that great of a reader. I defied that statistic.”

Reinke was one of many teachers in Hodges’ life who steered her toward a sense of purpose and her ultimate career.

“Every kid needs a successful person in their life who loves on them and cares for them,” Hodges says. “My teachers were the people who believed in me, gave me the sense I could be better than what I thought I was capable of.”

After graduating from Marysville High School in 2000, Hodges attended Shasta College. Soroptimist International of Yuba City awarded her a $500 scholarship, which paid for her first semesters’ worth of textbooks.

“I was always appreciative of them,” she says. “It was the only scholarship I received. I love that they didn’t skip over me … it

always kind of gets me. I think we always need to look for the kids who have all the things stacked against them. I showed up to receive it in my best dress.”

As her boys grew older and needed less of her time, Hodges considered her next steps. She dipped her toes back in the waters of education by becoming a substitute teacher, eventually taking a long-term placement at Ambrosini Elementary. Then she learned about the California State University teaching credential program, which offers an online path to becoming a general education teacher. Hodges, still following her heart, began attending online classes through Fresno State.

In 2022, she was offered a full-time internship as a first-grade teacher at Linell K. Walker Elementary School and taught the 2022-2023 school year while carrying a 16-unit course load. Her students, fellow teachers and administrators contributed to her accreditation by accommodating video recordings of her work, classroom observations and other requirements.

The internship and credentialing program are two of several steps the state is taking to address a massive teacher shortage, along with reducing or eliminating many fees. Hodges says she believes these changes will open up the field to more people like her who want to become educators but can’t afford not to work while pursuing a credential. She adds she’s grateful for the Fortuna Unified School District’s support of her dream.

“There was a lot of commitment on

behalf of the whole crew,” she says, adding her next step will be earning a master’s in literacy education.

When it was time for Hodges to walk in the spring, she knew who she wanted to share her big day with. Rather than traveling to Fresno, she had her students decorate a sash she received from the National Society of Leadership and Success. On June 2, she draped the sash over her graduation gown, put on her cap and walked down the steps of the elementary school. Her students waited on the lawn with their backs turned as Sandi Petersen, a local photographer, documented the big day.

“The greatest thing I hope to do is help those kids who come from bad circumstances,” Hodges says. “It’s your choice, you can surround yourself with people who are going to champion you. For all intents and purposes, this is not how my life should have turned out. We need to not underestimate the power of the difference we can make.”

Hodges told her students repeatedly that she was proud of them, that her success was their success, because of all they contributed toward her degree.

“They’ve been in the journey with me,” she says. “They were so excited about the cap and gown.”

In Petersen’s photos that excitement is evident. The kids turn. Hodges opens her arms. The future runs to her.

A Normal Saturday’

Fortuna’s rodeo bucks back into full stride

Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” is a country music song written by Ed Bruce and his wife Patsy Bruce and first recorded by Ed in 1975.

But if they do grow up to be cowboys or cowgirls — or bull fighters — they likely were in the Friendly City of Fortuna this last week. The 102nd annual Fortuna Rodeo (it’s only missed one year since its start, 2020 due to the pandemic) threw a nineday party with a 5k run, a chili-cook-off, a night of children’s games, a junior rodeo, firemen’s games, Bullfighters Only Night, Quadiators, a Saturday-morning parade down Main Street and 3,700 pounds of beef barbeque on Sunday … plus a weeklong carnival.

My top priorities were Saturday’s two sessions of traditional rodeo that showed off the skills of the humans and the animals in several events. The first rodeo of the day featured breakaway roping, calf roping, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, ribbon roping, team roping, barrel racing and bull riding. In a moving Empty Saddles tribute, the rodeo board of directors recognized the passing of three local men: Roy Curless, John Rice and Travis Low. The Rice family was also honored as the Grand Marshall of this year’s Fortuna Rodeo.

A well-done traditional rodeo clown act for the Saturday rodeos by Dalton Morris, of Kansas City, kept the crowd laughing (“That bull was angrier than Will Smith at the Oscars … ”) and supportive of the cowboys and cowgirls after their success-

es or better luck next times. Morris also demonstrated his skills with a bull whip and trick roping.

A huge crowd jammed Rohner Park for the evening Bulls, Broncs, Bands & Brews event that began with youngsters showing off their developing skills in mutton busting (riding a sheep without saddle or bridle), steer riding and junior bull riding. Rounds of bull riding and bronc riding followed.

Saturday’s rodeo events were organized, with an efficient, skilled crew on horseback quickly clearing the arena of the cows, horses and bulls after each round. Most impressive in the bull riding were two bull fighters who at one point risked their lives to help a cowboy in a predicament — his hand was still stuck in the rigging after he was bucked off a bull. He survived without injury thanks to the help of the two bull fighters, Billy Hammett and Anthony Hawkins.

The cold brews and food vendors were popular all afternoon and night, and after the second rodeo the live bands kept the after-party going late into the night.

“This finally felt like a normal Saturday (after the pandemic years),” said Shannon McWhorter, president of the Fortuna Rodeo Association, following the afternoon rodeo. “It’s good to see the attendance and lots of local cowboys, plus others from Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Montana. One thing we’ve done to attract families is to keep the admission prices for events very low or free. They’ve been the

same for the last 10 years.”

New events added this year included the Humboldt/Del Norte Cattlemen and Cattle Women’s Jim Rodoni Roundup, where local ranching families competed in team branding, barrel racing and other equestrian events. The Fortuna Chamber of Commerce also hosted the first Fortuna Rodeo Western Outpost, a four-day western-themed shopping experience at the Fireman’s Pavilion in Rohner Park. Also new this year was the Fortuna Jr. Rodeo’s Jackpot Team Roping event at the rodeo grounds.

McWhorter credited the success of the Fortuna Rodeo to the combined help of the city of Fortuna, Fortuna Chamber of Commerce, Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department and the many sponsors from throughout Humboldt County. For more history about the Fortuna Rodeo, visit fortunarodeo.com. l

Pineapple Express Goes North

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Codi Nishimoto could not cook — and not in the “I can’t get the perfect crust on my scallops” way.

When she left Oahu to study forestry at Humboldt State University in 2007, she got work as a restaurant server but didn’t venture into the kitchen. “I couldn’t even cook box mac and cheese at that time,” she says, her voice serious. But one night, some friends came over and made a simple fettucine alfredo. The alchemy of it — watching them transform the raw ingredients into a finished dish, something delicious — blew her mind and she dove into learning to cook. Five years later, she opened a food truck.

That truck, painted turquoise and yellow with the name Pineapple Express emblazoned on the side, is as easy to spot by the line of patrons awaiting Hawaiian and Pacific fusion comfort foods like kalua pig over fried wonton “nachos” ($11), furikake-sprinkled and katsu-sauced fries ($7) and fried and sauce-tossed garlic chicken ($14). Nishimoto says that was true for a while in Garberville, too, up until a couple years ago, when the cannabis economy took a dive, hitting residents and businesses hard. After struggling to make ends meet amid plummeting sales, she moved Pineapple Express north to serve Eureka, Arcata and McKinleyville, where she and the business are finding their footing.

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, home to a large Japanese American

population, Nishimoto is fifth generation Japanese and Okinawan. Like many Japanese Americans in Hawaii, her family worked in sugar cane farming, an industry that started using Japanese immigrant labor under the Kingdom of Hawaii in the 1860s. “All of my grandparents lived on the [sugar] plantation camps,” she says. The food she grew up eating is a blend of food cultures: Japanese, Okinawan, Portuguese and Native Hawaiian.

“My parents grew up eating bitter melon and a lot of pork,” she says, though the beloved Okinawan vegetable never won her over. “Shoyu chicken is my absolute favorite meal; it’s the first thing I get when I get off the plane back home.” So when she started to cook for herself, that was the first dish she learned to master, balancing the marinade and making sure the chicken thighs stayed juicy in cooking. One by one, she worked on making dishes she was homesick for. Her education and, eventually, the menu for Pineapple Express, was “born from missing the food back home.”

But even after graduating to accomplished home cook, Nishimoto still had a lot to learn when she first opened her truck. Working in restaurants, “I’d always been front of house not back of house, so that was such a gnarly learning curve.” To up her game and make her business work, she went on hiatus and got some professional kitchen experience. A friend of a friend connected her with chef Leanne Wong, who she says generously took Nishimoto

on as a line cook at her popular Koko Head Café in Honolulu for three months.

“That was life changing,” says Nishimoto. “My coworkers taught me so much. … It was grueling but really good.” The skills she gained in that intense period made a huge difference, she says, and when she returned to Humboldt and fired up the truck again, she saw her business grow.

Still, as the cannabis economy, to which Garberville’s fortunes are inextricably tied, started to falter, so did business at Pineapple Express. Nishimoto says the truck had done well in its first five years but, in its sixth year, things grew dire. She “saw the town really transform.” People just didn’t have money to spend on meals out, even from a casual truck. “We tried to keep the doors open long as we could because I had all these long-time employees,” she says, but eventually, there was no getting around the bills, including payroll. Other businesses, like Calico’s Café, whose owners moved to Eureka’s Old Town and reopened as the Ritz, have made the same difficult choice (“The Ritz Again,” March 9, 2023). “Everyone is struggling,” says Nishimoto. “It’s sad news all around.”

Months later, Nishimoto feels solid, if bittersweet, about the choice. “The move up here was definitely the right move,” she says. “We super love Southern Humboldt and we miss our community there … but it gave us the chance to expand.” (It’s also boosted sales of $3.50 Spam musubi, which

are far more in demand with the crowd up north.) Pineapple Express is picking up catering work on weekends and busy at its weekday spots: Mondays at Kreations Auto Body in Fortuna (280 12th St.), Tuesdays and Thursdays at Overtime Eatery & Game in Eureka (215 W Seventh St.), Wednesdays at Six Rivers Brewery in McKinleyville (1300 Central Ave.), and Fridays at Heart of Humboldt in Arcata (601 I St. #B).

The plate lunches Nishimoto serves are standards from home but her takes on them, like the sesame seared ahi plate (market price) and the banana leaf roasted kalua pig ($14). All are styled with her customers’ tastes in mind. “I’m just a rice person. Rice is life,” she says. The hot piles of thick and crusty fries are a Humboldt adaptation. As are the zigzags of tangy-sweet sauces. “People like sauce,” she says, though she prefers the plates without. “At first, I thought I was compromising my values,” she says, having started out with a mission of faithfully carrying island cuisine to the mainland. “But then I realized blending cultures is what Hawaiian culture is all about … it’s a fusion of so many cultures.” And now Pineapple Express’ iteration of that cuisine has a little Humboldt in it. (Though ordering plates traditional style is an option Nishimoto is happy to offer.)

Specials rotate every couple of weeks and the wise keep an open mind and an eye on the surfboard-shaped space where options like poke and the SGC Sambruleé appear ($18). The latter is for the ambitious — a sandwich in name only, with lightly crusted garlic chicken and a fist-sized scoop of Hawaiian macaroni salad obscuring a Hawaiian sweet roll on which brown sugar has been torched to a crunch. The whole affair is drizzled with sweet chili aioli and accompanied by plain or furikake fries. Do not try to pick it up. By contrast, the kalua pig fries are an easy share, with a generous and juicy heap of slow-cooked pork on top.

Of late there have been shell-on garlic shrimp, gravy-doused chicken cutlets and other plates born of nostalgia and experimentation, and Nishimoto is excited to branch out with new dishes. While her truck has lately been giving her some trouble, Nishimoto has her sights set on a second one and expanding into wholesale business.

‘Hiking Humboldt Kids’

By Mark Larson getout@northcoastjournal.com

Now that the first flush of summer vacation is past and the kids are getting antsy, you may be wondering where to go for a child-friendly walk in Humboldt County. Check out the recently published Hiking Humboldt Kids, a new guidebook by hiking enthusiast and local author Rees Hughes.

The well-designed guidebook (written in English and Spanish) with colorful photos is a fun read and good resource for anyone, but especially for families with children looking to get out on a trail not far from home. It’s the next book in the “Hiking Humboldt Series,” and is the result of a collaboration between Backcountry Press and First 5 Humboldt.

First 5 is an organization that provides advocacy and support to pregnant people and children from birth through age 5, and their families. Community Engagement Coordinator Jennifer Gonzales created the vision for this new hiking book, and she and Executive Director Mary Ann Hansen recruited Hughes to help get children involved with nature with this guidebook.

“There are so many reasons for families to spend more time outside,” said Hughes, while crediting Hanson and Gonzales for their vision, collaboration and financing the project. “Being active together, learning to love and appreciate nature at an early age, exploring our own backyard, exercise, getting away from the television or the game console or the computer. We designed Hiking Humboldt Kids to make that decision to get outside a little easier.”

“The response from folks about the book has been awesome,” said Gonzales. “Families are excited to be getting the books just in time for summer days to visit new places with their kiddos. It has been fun talking with folks about the joys of experiencing the outdoors together, espe-

cially through the eyes of young children. When we enjoy these walks together, we are not only creating lasting memories, we are regulating our nervous systems, reducing stress and building our body’s abilities to better cope with future stressors. All by simply walking together outdoors.”

A parent himself with lots of hiking experience with children, Hughes begins the guidebook with helpful advice, checklists and safety reminders for how to prepare for — and enjoy — hiking with children. Each trail-location recommendation includes a helpful map, a description of the route and its “difficulty,” walking length, whether dogs, bicycles and strollers are allowed, bathroom availability, whether public transport is possible and driving directions.

The guidebook includes “scavenger hunts” with descriptions and photos of what to look for on many trails. It also offers helpful prompts on how to keep children interested and busy with activities while out walking the trails.

For families with children looking for a walk that has options for distance, isn’t too physically challenging and doesn’t require an entrance fee, my advice is to start with one of the following trails listed in the guidebook. The guidebook’s 25 walk recommendations are grouped into four geographic locations around the county, including Humboldt Bay.

For trails in or near Eureka, check out Sequoia Park’s redwood forest and duck pond (plus its new playground and restrooms) or the Waterfront Trail North and the Hikshari’ Trail with their great views of Humboldt Bay.

Along Old Arcata Road, the Freshwater Farms trail is an easy out-and-back walk next to a tidal slough. The Ma-le’l Dunes North trails on the Samoa peninsula offer a loop option and a fun side trail to a giant sand pile in the dunes and on to the ocean beach (no dogs, open only Friday

through Monday with parking and restrooms). Two other easy trails a few miles away to the south of Eureka are the Elk River to Falk out-andback trail (Headwaters Forest Preserve parking lot and restrooms) and the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge (visitor center parking lot and restrooms).

In Arcata, the flat Bay Trail North goes through the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, and I recommend taking its trails for excellent wildlife-viewing (park near the visitor center) — currently there’s lots of construction underway at the Marsh, however. The many trails in the Arcata Community Forest offer a wide selection of easy to more challenging options (a good place to start is Redwood Park (parking, playground and restrooms available). Not far away in Blue Lake, there’s usually more sunshine, less fog and an easy unpaved levee walk out-and-back along the Baduwa’t River (aka the Mad River) and other trails in town.

To the north, good places to hike with children include the out-and-back Hammond Trail in McKinleyville (bicycles allowed, park at the Hiller Park playground and restrooms). Sue-meg State Park north of Trinidad is a wonderful place as well (though the park has an entrance fee); park at the visitor center lot (bathrooms) and get a map and start with the trail to the Yurok replica Sumeg Village.

For children ready for a bigger hiking challenge, try the great views from the Trinidad Head trail. Taking a longer drive north, check out the Trillium Falls Trail (a real waterfall) and Prairie Creek Trail in Redwood National and State Parks (a loop option is to go north near the creek and make a loop back via the Big Tree on the Foothill Trail). In a longer drive south of Eureka to redwood forests, check out the Cheatham Grove (a Return of the Jedi filming location) on State Route 36 and Founders Grove along the Avenue of the Giants.

For more information about these and other, more physically challenging trails that perhaps you’ve never heard of, find a copy of Hiking Humboldt Kids. The guidebook is available free for Humboldt County families with children 5 and younger from First 5 Humboldt playgroups, through local early childhood care and education settings, such as classrooms, preschools and family childcare homes, a library tour and other events. Both hard copy and digital versions are available for purchase directly through Backcountry Press’ website, backcountrypress.com, and at local bookstores. Each Humboldt County Library branch has copies for check out as well. l

Anglers Await Steelhead on the Lower Klamath

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

Steelhead have been trickling into the lower Klamath, and the fishing so far has been on the slow side. That’s the tough news. The good news is the river is in great shape. The water temps are slightly cooler than previous years, and the water is clear and free from moss. These excellent conditions, however, could be working against anglers. Cool temps aren’t providing a reason for the steelhead to stop and the few coming in are likely blowing right through. But it’s still very early in the season and the steelhead action really starts to pick up toward the end of July into early August. Until then, anglers can enjoy the chance to hook a steelhead or two with very little angling pressure. The daily bag limit is two hatchery steelhead or hatchery trout per day on both the Klamath and Trinity rivers, with a possession limit of four. Anglers must have a Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card in their possession while fishing for steelhead trout in anadromous waters. For more information, visit nrm. dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=202686&inline.

California halibut bite improving

The California halibut bite is heating up, with a few more caught daily. There aren’t a lot of anchovies in the bay yet, but there seems to be plenty of shiner perch for those wanting live bait. Anglers fishing dead bait and even jigs and swimbaits are having plenty of success. The fishing seems to really improve when we have the smaller tide swings, which will start this weekend. The minimum size is 22 inches and the daily bag and possession limit is two.

The Oceans:

Rough ocean conditions have prevented most boats from chasing Pacific halibut the past several days, reports Tim Klassen, of

Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “We’ve been o the water since late last week but there were a couple of fishable days in there,” says Klassen. “Prior to the seas coming up, most boats were still getting limits of Pacific halibut. The large area between the Eel River and Mad still has plenty of fish, but they are moving around a bit. Boats have been fishing between 250 and 300 feet. And there’s still plenty of hake and black cod you’ll need to deal with. Ocean conditions finally look like they’ll improve starting Thursday.”

Trinidad

We’ve been dealing with some sloppy conditions the last few days, reports Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters. “The Pacific halibut bite has slowed dramatically, and so has the e ort,” says Wilson. “The black rockfish has been good and we’re getting limits, but it’s been a little tougher. When we can get there, Redding Rock continues to produce some quality rockfish and lingcod. Crabbing has been decent, we’re sending the customers home with a few each trip.”

Shelter Cove

According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, ocean conditions have been pretty sloppy the past few days, but boats have made it out most days. “Rock fishing remains pretty solid and the lingcod fishing improved a little with the opening of the all-depths fishery Sunday,” says Mitchell. “Due to the conditions, we’ve been fishing right around the whistle. Crabbing is still really good, as well, and we’ve been setting gear below the bell.”

Crescent City

“Thresher sharks have showed up on South Beach this week and a few were caught,” says Britt Carson, of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. “The biggest one over the weekend weighed in at 168 pounds. Anglers are slow trolling a herring or anchovy. A few California halibut are being caught along the beach, as well, but it’s not red-hot. The rockfish bite continues to be excellent, with both reefs kicking out limits of rockfish and lingcod. The Pacific halibut bite is still going strong. Guys who have figured out the anchor system are doing well.”

Brookings

Ocean salmon fishing remains slow out of Brookings, says Andy Martin, of Brookings Fishing Charters. “A few hatchery coho are being caught on calm weather days,” he says. “Halibut fishing is good on flat days, with many six-pack charters getting two-fish limits. Herring and squid combinations fished in 200 to 230 feet of water are working best. Windy weather kept boats close to shore on Sunday and Monday, but rockfish are thick on the inner reefs.”

You Only Live Twice

It’s midsummer, which means I have been engaging in my regular seasonal habits when I am not working. These more or less boil down to going to the river, looking at my bank account and thinking about traveling, reading in my backyard and going to the river again. However, there is something that I do in the evening at least once this time of year — well, there are quite a few things, but this is one that I am willing to discuss publicly — and that is a re-watch, with at least one friend or closer person involved, of the French comedy M. Hulot’s Holiday

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the film, which introduced the world to Jacques Tati’s delightful, bumbling, mostly wordless, titular character; a vital link between Buster Keaton and Mr. Bean. As the sharper readers out there have probably noticed, time — in this dimension, anyway — runs in only one direction, and each year brings us further away from the memories of what we imagine of our past experiences. So any annual tradition is going to invite comparisons, and the loathsome feeling called nostalgia that I try at all costs to avoid. That quote from the 18th Brumaire about history repeating itself first as tragedy then as farce happily doesn’t apply to watching this delightful little film, whose silent comedic farcity is the centerpiece around whose edges a mild sense of wistful ennui gathers like shadows as the vacation, and summer, itself, draws to a close.

Much like how Plato’s Republic follows a narrative path from down to up in the geographic action of the plot, as well as the philosophical ideation of the core concepts within, M. Hulot’s Holiday introduces us to the night and its separate offering of events away from the bright, sunshine diversions of the ocean beach, just as the film begins its trek toward the final act. The only tragedy found in repeated viewings of this beautiful and hilarious little film is the memory of those from whom time has robbed us of the oppor-

tunity for just one more watch together. That’s correct, though, as the back-end of summer’s idyll promise is the knowledge that decay comes to every flower, and silence to every bee and bird. We would be frozen in dull, adipose pleasure if warm leisure was our only experience. That being said, protect what leisure you have, expand on it ruthlessly, and know that it is as precious as it is fleeting. If there is one thing that lives in the heart of every good person, it is the desire for us all to get the most joy out of life as is possible, and to burn down the institutions and rulers who steal our priceless time. With that in mind, go get some.

Thursday

Fieldbrook Winery continues its summer concert series — Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons — with a 5:30 p.m. performance by local bluegrass act Fickle Hill. The performance is free for those with table reservations.

Friday

St. Croix reggae singer Dezarie is more than two decades into a recording and touring career that has gained her a considerable following among the global roots and reggae community. Tonight at Humbrews, she returns to the area to share her music with her Humboldt fandom, who will likely remember her from the good old Reggae on the River days of years past. Local group Irie Rockerz provides support. 9 p.m. ($30, $25 advance).

Saturday

The students may be gone, but university-adjacent venue Blondies is still running a hot summer schedule. Portland’s new-new wave dance band Rad Max is joining forces with local garage duo Clean Girl and the Dirty Dishes and Think Tank for a night of (mostly) dancefloor fun. There’s a $5-$10 sliding scale door price and a tentative start time of 8 p.m., the rest is up to you.

Sunday

The Siren’s Song Tavern is hosting a fun retro pop and surf rock show, with The Snares and The California Poppies providing the former, while The Starhoppers dip into the latter genre. The sun will still be out for this 7 p.m. show and $10 at the door leaves you with some beer money if you budgeted your weekend well.

Monday

Speaking of the Siren’s Song Tavern and shows whose start time promises a bit of evening sunshine over the nearby water, 8 p.m. is a good time to return to port to check out a very cool gig to help inaugurate your work week. Portland sextet Abronia plays longform, psychedelically-tinged soundtrack tunes fit for the vast deserts of the haunted mind. The band is joined tonight by two very fitting local co-conspirators, the excellent Cardboard and one of my all-time favs, Blackplate. This show is my undisputed pick of the week, and if you are a fan of outré sound-

scapes and heavy, frozen noise floes, this one is not to be missed. ($5-$10 sliding scale).

Tuesday Savage Henry Comedy Club is hosting Show Up, Go Up night, which means that when the doors open at 9 p.m., the first eight comedians to show up and signup are the night’s featured performers, allotted 10 minutes apiece to share their wares. For the rest of you, $5 helps keep the lights on, which is now perhaps more important than ever given the recent serious health scare of owner Chris Durant. If you like this local comedy venue — and who but the terminally unsmiling among us doesn’t — come do your part.

Wednesday

There’s an early noise night going down at the Miniplex tonight at 6 p.m., with Seattle’s very tight, no wave improv act CSTMR joining forces with local drum and synth duo MIDI KITI. Also on the bill is rarely-seen-live, one-man-band Makeshift Kink, whose YouTube and Bandcamp album I reviewed earlier this month. A $5$10 sliding scale door price seems to have become a local standard, which seems reasonable to me, especially considering how far away Seattle is by band van. Viva. l

Collin Yeo (he/him) believes Cliff Booth did indeed kill his wife and is also the hero of the film. He lives in 2023 Arcata, which is quite a ways away from the Hollywood of 1969.

Free Will Astrology

Week of July 20, 2023

By Rob Brezsny freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your deep psyche will soon well up with extra creativity and fertility. I hope you will eagerly tap into these gifts. You should assume that you will be more imaginative and ingenious than usual. You will have an enhanced ability to solve problems with vigor and flair. In what areas of your life would you love to gently erupt with a burst of reinvention? Which of your habits might benefit from being cheerfully disrupted? Give yourself permission to change whatever bores you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) My teacher Paul Foster Case said the color yellow is midway between warm, exciting red and cool, calming blue. “Yellow has an equilibrating influence,” he wrote. “It stimulates the finer functions of the brain, is of assistance in developing alertness and discrimination, and helps to establish emotional balance.” According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, you should emphasize this hue in the coming days. If you call on yellow to help strengthen the qualities Case describes, you will place yourself in sweet alignment with cosmic rhythms. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Because I enjoy joking with you, I am slightly tempted right now to give you one of the following nicknames: Fidgety, Twitch, Jittery, Quivers, or Shakes. But I will take a more serious tack. Let’s instead see if we can influence you to slow down, stabilize your rhythm, get really steady and secure, and stand strong in your foundational power spot. Would you consider adopting any of the following nicknames? Anchor, Unshakeable, Sturdy, Rock Solid, Staunch, Steadfast, Resolute. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The sometimes overly clever author Oscar Wilde said, “When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.” I reject that warped view of reality and assure you it will have no bearing on your life in the coming weeks. If you formulate your prayers with care and discernment, they will lead you to rewards, not problems. Maybe not the exact rewards you imagined, but still close to your hopes and helpful in the next chapter of your life story. (PS: No sloppy, lazy, careless prayers, please. Be precise and clear.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Leo theologian Bernard McGinn defines mysticism as “the consciousness of the immediate presence of God.” In other words, people having a mystic experience are filled with a visceral sensation of the divine intelligence. It’s not just an idea or concept; it’s a deeply felt communion infused with intimate tenderness. You Leos will be more likely than usual to have such contact in the coming weeks—if you want it. If you don’t want it, or don’t believe it’s real, or don’t think it’s possible, well, then, you can of course resist it. But why not give it a whirl? There’s nothing to lose, and it could be fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Here’s a parable for you. Once upon a time, there was a woman who could read the future in the night sky. She regarded the planets and stars as her divine informants. On one moonless evening, she took a walk down a dirt road near her home. It was so dark she could barely see two feet ahead of her. Oops! She should have brought a flashlight. Lost in wonder, she gazed up at the heavenly bodies, watching and listening for revelations they might have for her. Then one of the lights, the planet Saturn, whispered, “Stop and look down, friend.” The woman turned her eyes from the sky to the ground just in time to find she was two strides away from stepping into a deep, muddy hole. What’s the moral of the tale? Here are some possibilities. 1. Sometimes the heights provide useful information about the depths. 2. Soaring visions may help you tune in to practical details. 3. To become aware of important facts you’ve overlooked in your daily rhythm, consult your higher mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A Libran writer I know received many rejection notices when he launched his career. I was amazed at how undaunted he was. In fact, he was the opposite of

undaunted. He taped copies of his rejection notices to his bedroom wall. Seeing the evidence of his failures motivated him. It drove him to improve his writing and churn out even more articles. It fueled his search for a wider array of publications that might host his work. During the fourth year of this approach, luck and fate turned in his favor. Within the next eight months, 12 of his pieces appeared in print. My muses tell me, Libra, that you need to hear this story right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The cartoon character Bart Simpson is one of the stars of The Simpsons animated TV show. According to him, “Life is a paradox. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” While that principle may sometimes be true, I believe you will be exempt from it in the coming weeks. In fact, I suspect you will be as free as it’s possible for a human to be of grueling contradictions, frustrating oppositions, clashing truths, and paralyzing contraries. There’s a good chance you will also outwit and avoid annoying incongruities and silly arguments. Congratulations in advance, Scorpio! Take full advantage of this phase of simple clarity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The dragon has appeared in the myths and legends of many cultures. Europe, China, and Mesoamerica are just a few places where the fire-breathing flying reptiles have fascinated the human imagination. In some traditions, they are dangerous and predatory. In China, though, they have been harbingers of good fortune and symbols of great power. Emperors claimed the dragon as their special emblem. In assigning the dragon to be your soul creature, Sagittarius, I am drawing from Chinese lore. What would you like to accomplish that would benefit from you having access to fierce, dynamic, indomitable energy? Call on the dragon for help and power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There is a world of people who will love you for who you are,” writes author Cheryl Strayed. “A whole, vibrant, fucked-up, happy, conflicted, joyous, and depressed mass of people.” In the coming months, one of your prime tasks is to specialize in communing with these folks. Make it your intention to surround yourself more and more with interesting, imperfect, ever-changing life-lovers who appreciate you for exactly who you are—and who inspire you to grow more and more into the full idiosyncratic glory of your authentic self.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) What psychic or prophet is most popular with a-list celebrities? I can assure you it’s not me. Few of my millions of readers are world-famous. What about the planet’s most scientifically accurate astrologer? Who might that be? It ain’t me. I don’t regard astrology as a science, and I mistrust those who say it is. In my view, astrology is a mythopoetic language and psychospiritual system that nurtures our souls and helps liberate us from our conditioning. We shouldn’t try to get “scientifically accurate” information from it. Now I encourage you to do what I just did, Aquarius. Have fun telling people who you are not, what you don’t believe in, and which goals you aren’t interested in pursuing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): To come up with your astrological reports, I study the positions of the sun, moon, and planets in relation to your sign. That’s the technical part of the work, the framework within which I unleash my intuition and imagination. To augment this work, I meditate and pray, asking higher powers to guide me in providing useful information for you. I often consult books written by my favorite astrology writers. (Currently reading Steven Forrest’s The Elements Series.) I also ask my deep mind to slip me info that might not be accounted for by traditional factors. How about you, Pisces? How do you do the work that you love and care about? Now is a good time to take inventory and make necessary adjustments.

Homework: Is there anyone you love that you could or should love better?

Making it Possible

Mission continues its decades-long legacy

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. Though I was just a cherubic little know-nothing when Mission: Impossible (1996) bowed — and am, by extension, now a doddering geriatric — I can still recall the sense of thrilling incongruence with which we met it. Based on an ancient television show (at that time about as old as the first movie in the series is now), it had that undeniable Lalo Schifrin theme, movie stars new and familiar (one of whom the movie had the audacity to kill in the very early going and the promise of old-school espionage rendered hip and current. It was big Hollywood business, even as we had begun to accept a rapidly changing definition of what Hollywood was, or was becoming.

What I couldn’t have articulated then, and perhaps cannot now, was director Brian De Palma’s critical role as both arbiter and synthesist of cinema cool, even as his career was approaching an inevitable cooling-off point and he his 60th birthday.

De Palma wouldn’t become a touchstone for me until years later, incapable as I was of understanding his particular brand of fashionable and finely controlled lechery. At the time, Mission: Impossible seemed like a decidedly mainstream distraction in the midst of a tough-talking movie renaissance. At the same time, though, it maintained an intense near-intellectualism, a feeling of having been constructed by smart people, that elevated it above the delightful action pabulum upon which we used to feast. It was a movie that was, in its cleverness and steadfast grandiosity, as much a product of the past as it was a signal of things to come. It also contained setpieces that thrilled as much for their impossibility as for their brazen execution.

I could not, would not, have foreseen a multi-decade legacy for the franchise, much less that it would become the perhaps-unbreakable tether suspending star and producer Tom Cruise in the rarefied air of cultural relevance and very real danger. And there have been times, I must believe, when even the faithful questioned the trajectory of Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and the rest of the Impossible Mission Force, much

as we have all had occasion to question the health and fate of the business of American movies.

But Cruise, as duly delegated representative of the They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To party, has made a career not only of keeping the faith but of maintaining a connection to the revivalist, big-tent ideals that are the embodiment of the small, uncynical, audience-facing part of his industry. He wants to make big, impressive, intelligently executed movies for people to see in theaters. And he’s probably willing to sacrifice his life in service of that eminently possible mission.

Witness Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, wherein Cruise, with steadfast collaborator Christopher McQuarrie (writer/director/producer) maintains the gold standard not only for on-set COVID protocols (look it up) but for superhuman stunt choreography within a drum-tight spy thriller presciently set inside humanity’s potential last stand against, well, anti-humanity, I suppose.

As with Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018), McQuarrie (with co-writer Erik Jendresen) brings us inside the potentially impenetrable world of super-spy cinema extravaganza with the deftness of an editor. While we may be on a ride that will visit half the world’s continents (who’s counting?!), the globetrotting is in service of a story that remains coherent, cogent and, maybe most importantly, emotionally resonant.

Rehashing the plot of a movie like this is silly, both because it ruins some of the fun and because probably nobody wants to hear it anyway, so we’ll not do that. Suffice it to say the IMF (or at least our little beloved corner of it) is up against a potentially unbeatable foe, that being humanity’s enmity toward itself as represented by an electronic eye and an impeccably groomed Esai Morales.

The clever thing, though, is how the movie challenges itself to reference and deploy “outmoded” technologies, styles and methods. From a metatextual perspective, Dead Reckoning is referencing the choking of old-school moviecraft, both by mindless technology and the insa-

tiable greed of those who would harness it. From a more literal point of view, Tom Cruise really jumped off a mountain on a dirt bike and it’s awesome.

Dead Reckoning graciously suggests more than a little of De Palma’s style, simultaneously casting an eye toward a future that, hopefully, will not be quite as futuristic as we’ve feared. It’s a pretty brilliant, obviously self-referential comment on the business of entertaining people, which, at its best, gets its own joke but also hints at the precipitousness of the global moment.

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership 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 responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this 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 postponed one or more times by the mortgagee,

TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 110224-CA 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 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.

Earth is one of eight planets with an assortment of smaller bodies in thrall to our star, the Sun. The Sun is one of about a third of a trillion stars bound by their mutual gravitation (and that of so-called dark matter) into a huge spiral galaxy that takes light 100,000 years to cross from one edge to another: the Milky Way. Which, in turn, is one of maybe 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe …. My point being, if there’s intelligent life here, there must be intelligent life somewhere out there. Right? Let’s just stick to our own galaxy, given the vast distances — millions of light years — to the closest neighboring galaxies of any size. With 300 billion stars (that’s about 100 times the number of your lifetime heartbeats, if you’re lucky), each star being host to maybe 10 planets (some of which we already know are in the liquid-water “habitable zone,” you’d think the Milky Way would be teeming with aliens.

Well, it likely is teeming with alien life — simple molecules that replicate — but not with aliens in the usual sense of the word, as defined above. We know, of course, what aliens look like because we’ve seen the movies: a lot like us! Head on top, two eyes, weirdly shaped skulls, limbs, spines, probably bipedal — we’d know one when we saw one. Vulcan, Romulan, Xenomorph (for Sigourney Weaver to battle): They’re bad guys. The good aliens are the outlines seen at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., or the blue Navi on Avatar’s Pandora — same basic idea. We’ve come a long way from Michael Rennie in The Day the Earth Stood Still (and his 8-foot-tall bodyguard, Gort) thanks to CGI, but I think it’s fair to say aliens — malevolent or benevolent — are immediately recognizable as intelligent life.

But to get from alien life like algae to intelligent life that can zip around the galaxy (supposedly crash landing here about as often as self-driving cars) takes time. Much time. On Earth, it took nearly a third of the age of the Universe, about 4 billion years. Much is made of the fact that life started almost as soon as there was liquid water. We have “biotic” fossils possibly as old as 4.1 billion years in rocks found in Western Australia. But it took eons, nearly 4 billion years, to get from microbes to intelligent life, life with the capacity to build radio telescopes and interplanetary spacecraft.

Our Sun is exceptionally stable, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t. The vast majority of exoplanets don’t have the luxury of 4 billion or 5 billion years of relative stability for intelligent life to evolve. And Earth — unlike other planets and moons in the solar system — is exceptional in that we have a moon (from when a Mars-sized body slammed into our young planet) to keep us in a balanced, non-oscillating orbit. In addition, mass extinctions — each one of which made way for novel species to evolve — may be essential to progress from microbial to intelligent. The most recent major extinction resulted from the not-toobig, not-too-small asteroid that collided with Earth 66 million years ago, wiping out non-avian dinosaurs and clearing the decks for our mammalian ancestors. “Lucky” doesn’t even begin to describe it.

There’s probably tons of microbial life out there, maybe even in our own solar system: My money’s on Saturn’s moon Titan and Jupiter’s moon Europa. But aliens? The good-guy or bad-guy aliens we want to believe are Out There? Given the astronomical unlikeliness of us being here, I’d say we’re SOL. l

Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) would love to be wrong about aliens. His Humbook Two, which deals with topics somewhat closer to home, is at local bookstores.
