In Appreciation

Editor: Blue Lake’s 54th annual Annie & Mary Day celebration was a rousing success (Calendar, July 7). The sun was out all day, the food was tasty, the car show was the largest ever and vendors offered all kinds of crafts. This event would not have happened if it was not for the hard work put in by Mariel Morison, Rick Levin, Blue Lake’s city workers, Adelene and Ted Jones, Jo Patterson, Kathy Nelson and many others. Special thanks to the Friends of the Annie & Mary Trail, Murphy’s Markets, the Logger Bar, the Blue Lake Museum, Mad River Brewery, Jewell Distillery, Cal Plumbing and Fire Suppression, Redwood Capital Bank, Coast Central Credit Union, Dell’Arte, Elaine Benjamin, Marlene Smith, Paradise Cay, Green Diamond, Vaughn Hutchins, Frank Onstine, Just My Type, the Booklegger, Erv Clark, Susan Lewis, Karen Miller, Cheerful Designs, BLT Designs, Jonsteen Company and Englund Marine for their generous donations to our amazing raffle. There was stellar music by the Spindrifters, The Lost Dogs, Papa Haole and the Fleas and Barn Fire. Our deepest gratitude to Lost Coast Communications, North Coast Journal and the Mad River Union for getting the word out on our fun event. See you next year! Marvin Samuels, Blue Lake

‘Decorum’

‘Fascinating Tales’

Editor: Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed reading the two articles by Barry Evans (Field Notes, June 9 and July 7). Both were fascinating tales, and to think this has all happened in roughly the last 200 years! This area has a very cool, albeit sad history. ... Also very interesting is to go to Fort Humboldt and walk that circle and read the placards detailing the life of the fort, and Ulysses Grant’s role in local history. No one we’ve talked to has ever even bothered to go to Fort Humboldt, actually very peaceful in the early morning. Mr. Evans’ story-telling is wonderful, and a great big thanks from us older folks “up-on-the-mountain” here in Westhaven. Russ Wheatley, Westhaven

‘Responsibility’

EPD shooting investigation leaves seven shots unaccounted for amid chaotic chase By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

he day after his officers combined to fire more than 40 shots on the streets of downtown Eureka shortly before 5 p.m. on a Tuesday amid a chaotic pursuit in 2016, then Eureka Police Chief Andrew Mills held a press conference and pledged a thorough investigation. “Each officer is personally accountable for every round that they discharge and where that round ends up,” Mills said, adding that he would report back to the community when the investigation was complete and the department had determined where each round was discharged, as well as where they ended up. Five and a half years later, Mills is gone, working as the police chief in Palm Springs, following several years in Santa Cruz after he left EPD in 2017. Mills’ successor as chief, Steve Watson, who was on scene that day as the suspect, 26-year-old Clayton Lee Lasinski, collapsed on Fifth Street, retired last year. And Stephen Linfoot — the first officer to open fire during that Dec. 6, 2016, chase — is also gone, working for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, while another of the four officers who shot that day has retired. Last month, some three and a half years after the Journal submitted a California Public Records Act request for documents related to the shooting pursuant to a law that took effect in 2019, the city released its internal affairs investigation into the incident. The delay, according to the department, was due first to the need to wait for Lasinski’s criminal case to resolve, which it did in May of 2020 when he was sentenced to serve 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to assault with a firearm, exhibiting a weapon at a peace officer and other charges, and chronic short staffing in the department’s records unit. The recently released records — which span more than 900 pages — shed new light on the shooting, illustrating how a series of decisions and assumptions repeatedly escalated an already tense situation, leading to officers firing 42 rounds

at Lasinski over the course of just three minutes and 19 seconds as he fled through three and a half blocks of downtown Eureka without returning fire. The records also indicate an investigating officer, Sgt. Mike Guy, determined one of the officers who opened fire on Lasinski that day violated policy, though they include no indication of whether the department made any effort to pursue disciplinary or corrective action against him. EPD Records Manager Amanda O’Neill initially indicated disciplinary records were purged by the chief’s office at some point prior to Senate Bill 1421, the police records transparency bill, taking effect in 2019. After multiple follow-up inquiries, City Attorney Autumn Luna said “the city has no further documents or information to disclose related to this case.” Interim EPD Chief Todd Jarvis, who stepped into the role in December, said he doesn’t know whether any disciplinary action was taken as a result of the investigation. But Jarvis said he’s reviewed all the documents released to the Journal in the case, and debriefed with Capt. Brian Stephens, and feels that the incident was reviewed “thoroughly,” resulting in some changes to training and protocols. “I honestly believe that if a similar situation happened today, it would be handled differently,” Jarvis said, before being asked why. “The whole nature of policing has changed [since December of 2016],” Jarvis continued. “There’s probably a lot more thought behind pressing that trigger in the minds of every officer. I think that, in and of itself, might have created a different outcome.” Asked if he found anything concerning in his review of the incident, Jarvis didn’t pause: “The sheer amount of rounds that were fired. I think everyone was fortunate there was no collateral damage.” The incident began after a California Highway Patrol officer attempted to pull Lasinski’s Dodge pickup truck over after he allegedly rolled through a stop sign

when turning westbound on Fourth Street in Eureka shortly before 5 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2016. Lasinski then pulled the truck into the parking lot of the Best Western, where he bailed on foot, leaving two female passengers in the car. Lasinski was wanted on a warrant at the time, which Mills said he believed was why he fled, but the suspect would later tell investigators he feared pursuing officers weren’t really cops but people in disguise after him for an outstanding debt. No matter the reason, Lasinski was fleeing on foot and CHP asked EPD to assist in canvassing the area for Lasinski, who was in possession of a handgun and had allegedly brandished it at a Best Western employee who tried to detain him while he fled the property. Linfoot was then the first officer to spot Lasinski, telling dispatch he saw him running southbound in the alley between Sixth and Seventh streets. Shortly after spotting him, Linfoot decided to pursue the armed suspect on foot. EPD policy on foot pursuits recognizes they are inherently dangerous to officers and the public, so much so the policy explicitly states “no officer or supervisor shall be criticized or disciplined for deciding not to engage” in one and that “surveillance and containment are generally the safest tactics for apprehending fleeing persons,” where circumstances permit. EPD’s internal investigation, however, did not seem to question Linfoot’s decision in this case. Linfoot pursued Lasinski as the suspect ran across A Street and onto the Sole Savers car lot on Seventh Street, chasing him as Lasinski ran into a covered driveway portion of the business and climbed into the passenger side door of a running red Mazda, which had been recently detailed and was left running for its upholstery to dry. As Linfoot approached the car, coming within 6 feet of its front bumper, he said he saw Lasinski raise a handgun over the dashboard, though investigators were unable to determine if the suspect intentionally pointed the weapon at him or simply had it in his right hand as he slid from the vehicle’s passenger seat to its driver’s side. “I see a black handgun … pointing directly at me … as he continues to get into the driver’s seat,” Linfoot told investigators. “So, I get my gun out and I start to try to put some distance between myself and him … and I fire into the car.” The exact sequence of events here is a bit jumbled, but Linfoot told investiga-

tors that he tripped while trying to create space and ended up on his back on the driver’s side of the Mazda. He said two things led him to believe Lasinski continued to pose a lethal threat: He could see Lasinski continuing to move inside the vehicle and he saw a bullet hole in the vehicle’s driver’s side window, which he thought Lasinski had put there by firing at him from inside the vehicle. Investigators later determined the bullet hole was Linfoot’s, created in his initial volley of shots fired into the vehicle. But Linfoot said he believed he was being fired upon. “My thinking was,’ I’m in a gun battle with this guy,’” Linfoot said, adding that he then fired until his clip was empty, fearing that Lasinski would either flee in the Mazda or shoot him. It’s unclear exactly when, but investigators determined one of these initial shots fired by Linfoot was the only bullet to hit Lasinski in the pursuit, piercing his upper left chest. Nonetheless, after Linfoot fired a total of 15 rounds at or into the Mazda, Lasinski put the car in gear and fled, turning right out of the parking lot toward Sixth Street, as officers Dustin Nantz and Abraham Jansen approached, with Nantz about 100 feet ahead of his fellow officer. Nantz told investigators that he heard gunshots as he ran onto the Sole Savers lot and then saw a red Mazda come around the building at “an extremely high rate of speed.” Nantz said he and the driver made eye contact as the vehicle accelerated straight at him. “I didn’t believe I was going to be able to actually get out of the way of the car … fast enough,” Nantz said, adding that as the vehicle approached, he drew his handgun and fired five times at the vehicle, stopping when it passed him. “Luckily, I was able to. I don’t know if he swerved when I raised my gun or not … but I did believe I was going to be ran over.” EPD policy at the time prohibited officers from firing at moving vehicles unless they “reasonably believe there are no other means available to avert the threat of the vehicle,” an exception Guy deemed applicable in this case, finding Nantz acted within policy when he opened fire. Jansen saw all this unfold as he approached and told investigators he’d heard so many shots fired in the initial exchange — which happened outside his line of sight — he assumed the suspect “just fired at officer Linfoot or they got into Continued on next page »

some kind of gunfight … ugh, considering the number of shots, especially.” Jansen said that when Nantz opened fire at the oncoming Mazda, he did as well, though he did not tell investigators he felt either officer was in the vehicle’s path. “I open fire as well, considering that this was the subject that we’re looking for and I thought he just [got into] a gun battle with officer Linfoot,” Jansen told investigators. “I opened fire on the subject. He traveled past me … I continue shooting at him while he traveled past me until he got to Sixth Street, and at that point I ran out of ammo in the magazine.” Jansen then re-loaded and followed onto Sixth Street, which Lasinski had driven against one-way traffic up to the intersection of Sixth and B streets, where he abandoned the car. From about 30 yards away, Jansen then took aim and fired two more rounds at Lasinski up Sixth Street but missed. In his report, Guy wrote that he believed the first three to five rounds Jansen fired as Lasinski approached him and Nantz in the Mazda were within departmental policy. “However, considering officer Jansen’s sustained rate of fire, lack of control and inaccuracy, the next 10 to 12 rounds he fired, as the vehicle was passed him, were not in compliance with this policy,” Guy wrote, explaining his conclusion was based on Jansen’s firing 15 rounds in approximately four seconds, with three stray rounds hitting a building on Sixth Street and a parked car. After ditching the Mazda, Lasinski walked down B Street toward Fifth, as scores of EPD officers poured out of the department’s headquarters nearby and continued to respond to Linfoot’s call of shots fired and a “carjacking” at Soul Savers. Senior Detective Ron Harpham was among them, telling investigators he heard the shots fired call and walked out EPD’s back door to hear two different types of gunshots followed by officers yelling, “Drop the gun! Drop the gun!” Harpham said he believed officers had been in a “full-on gun battle” with the suspect, who he saw walking northbound on B Street with ª pistol visible in his hand. Harpham said he then raised his pistol and put Lasinski in his sights, stopping to quickly inventory what he knew about the situation. As he did so, Harpham said he saw a string of officers head down A street toward Fifth. “And I kind of see that … and then I notice headlight traffic on Fifth and I’m going, ‘Ah, fuck. Gunfight? Gunfight. Citizens everywhere. And I go, ‘Shit, I got to

stop this guy.’” Harpham said he fired a single round from about 40 yards away but missed Lasinski. “So I was setting up to go on him again and I … remember thinking, ‘Yeah, that’s right, just keep throwing rounds down range. … You missed him the first time, stupid.’ I mean, I didn’t have all that internal dialogue but I had that perception — ‘Don’t do it again, right.’” Harpham then pursued Lasinski on foot. As he did, and as the suspect moved past Hertz Car Rental and onto Fifth Street, Jansen fired three more times at Lasinski as he walked away from a distance of about 35 yards, with all bullets missing the suspect. Those were the last of the 42 gunshots EPD fired during the pursuit, as Lasinski walked a ways down Fifth Street before stopping next to a parked car, where he ultimately collapsed due to blood loss and was taken into custody. While Lasinski never fired a round in the exchange, police found his gun’s hammer was cocked back. Mills said at the time that he believed Lasinski had tried to fire on pursuing officers but did not know how to properly work the handgun. A Department of Justice forensic report identified 34 bullet strikes on the Mazda, the Soul Savers building, a building on Sixth Street and a wall near Hertz. Another bullet hit Lasinski, which, according to the report, left the whereabouts of seven bullets fired by EPD officers unaccounted for. Looking back on the incident as it was outlined in various reports and witness interviews contained in EPD’s internal affairs investigation, Jarvis was reminded of his initial comment that he believed things would have played out differently today and asked if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. “Both,” he said, adding that while police ultimately have to be responsible for their actions, he believes hesitancy to pull the trigger has probably cost some officers their lives because they’re thinking about “being second guessed or being prosecuted” before doing what they were trained to do. But ultimately, Jarvis said, the public expects its officers to be perfect. “We have the responsibility,” he said. “We have to be right every time, and that’s a tough responsibility for everyone.” ●

988 Goes Live

The national 988 hotline launched July 16, giving those experiencing or witnessing a mental health crisis just three numbers to dial to be connected with intervention services without being routed through a police dispatcher. The new number, which takes the place of the suicide prevention hotline, is part of a national effort to overhaul the delivery of mental healthcare and, as much as possible, keep police out of mental health crisis response. But it’s a baby step. For now, calls and texts that come into the 988 number will be routed to state suicide prevention call centers, including about a dozen in California. Calls placed in Humboldt County will be routed to a state call center in Yolo County and, from there, redirected to the county’s 24-hour crisis line: 445-7715, or toll free at (888) 849-5728. (For the time being, these numbers remain the most direct line to the local experts waiting to help, but 988 provides an easy-to-remember alternative.) Humboldt County Behavioral Health Deputy Director Paul Bugnacki said only about 2 percent of hotline calls statewide are transferred for an emergency response, and state officials have expressed hope 988 could reduce the number of mental health crisis calls coming into emergency dispatch centers. The new hotline won’t change much on the ground in Humboldt

Fourth Condor Takes Flight County, Bugnacki said, though he said he may look to add a position to the county’s crisis stabilization unit, depending on call volume. Meanwhile, local agencies and the county continue to work toward the larger vision of having trained mental health clinician teams ready to respond directly to emergencies without police, where possible. County Behavioral Health is currently working with the Eureka Police Department, the Arcata Police Department and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, to have mental health teams co-respond to certain calls — or work certain beats — along with sworn officers. Bugnacki said teams are also in place to dispatch to local hospitals when police bring someone in on a mental health hold to evaluate whether the person meets legal criteria for the hold or could possibly be treated or monitored in a less restrictive setting. Eureka, meanwhile, seems to be the local entity closest to implementing 988’s architects’ full vision of providing an emergency mental health response that does not involve police at all. Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery said the program has been more than a year in the making but the city has hired a mental health clinician who is slated to start Aug. 1. The clinician will lead a small team operating out of a city-owned van that will respond

‘All Hands On Deck’ Humboldt prepares for waste overhaul that will cut climate emissions and feed the hungry By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

new state law mandating organic waste recycling and the creation of food recovery programs will overhaul the state’s garbage system — changing everything from how residents throw out their trash to how organic waste is recycled and where cities source their mulch — all while reducing emissions of methane, one of the worst climate pollutants. “This is the most encompassing law ever in California — not only is it a recycling law but a climate change law as well,” said Evan Edgar, principal engineer and president of Edgar and Associates, a Sacramento-based environmental engineering company and lobbying firm working with local municipalities on the issue. “This is all hands on deck.” Senate Bill 1383, the biggest overhaul in the California waste management system since 1990 and possibly the state’s biggest climate change legislation, will create a new system for how households, businesses, municipalities and trash haulers handle organic waste, like food scraps, yard waste and all other trash coming from plant or animal products. The new system will require a unique collaborative effort between waste hauling companies, local governments, businesses, food pantries and shelters like no other waste management legislation has ever before. The bill’s scope is so massive that last year Humboldt Waste Management Authority, a joint powers authority of member agencies including the cities of Arcata, Blue Lake, Eureka, Fortuna, Fern-

dale, Rio Dell and the county of Humboldt, hired Edgar and Associates, which specializes in solid waste management, recycling, composting and renewable energy issues, to help with its implementation process. The consulting firm has created a roadmap report for the county, detailing what needs to be done to offer organic waste services and meet state mandates. Signed into law in 2016 by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, S.B. 1383 sets the goal of reducing the amount of organic waste entering landfills by 75 percent statewide by 2025. After the bill was signed, the California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) created the rules and regulations for implementation, finalizing them in 2020. It is now beginning to enforce them. Cities and counties must adopt enforceable ordinances mandating curbside collection services for organic waste through hauling companies or self-hauling services, while also creating edible food recovery programs and establishing compost or organic fuel procurement plans to ensure the organic waste has a beneficial final destination, creating a circular economy for what had previously been treated as trash. In Humboldt County, various cities have begun updating their ordinances to include organic waste collection. In residential areas, it will be collected in curbside bins and hauled to an organic waste processing facility. HWMA is also starting to build out the infrastructure to support organic waste recycling services. The HWMA board recent-

ly authorized the temporary closure and relocation of its Eureka Recycling Center, with plans to convert the current location on Hawthorne Street into a processing facility where the organic waste will be sorted, baled and readied for transport. The Solid Waste Local Task Force and Humboldt County’s Department of Environmental Services, meanwhile, are creating a countywide edible food recovery program that will work with local businesses to donate leftover food to area homeless shelters and food banks. “The beautiful thing about S.B. 1383 is it’s bringing everyone to the table,” said Linda Wise, general manager for Eel River Recology and Recology Humboldt. “We’re coming together, finding issues and addressing them to get it done.” The statewide effort is aimed at reducing what’s called “short-lived climate pollutants” and methane emissions, which are generated by decomposing food scraps and other organic matter in landfills and are 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide. A 2021 report published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that organic waste generates

170 million metric tons of carbon dioxide nationally each year, equal to the annual emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants. The EPA also found municipal solid waste landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the U.S., accounting for approximately 14.5 percent of these emissions in 2020. According to CalRecycle, organic waste causes up to 20 percent of the state’s methane emissions. Compostable items, defined as “organic materials typically accepted for use in commercial compost or digestion systems” in the 2020-2021 HWMA waste characterizations study, made up about one-quarter of Humboldt County’s overall waste stream, with food waste making up 14 percent, recycled paper making up 6.7 percent and compostable paper comprising 5.4 percent. CalRecycle initially gave cities until Jan. 1 to begin organic waste collection and food recovery services before it would start fining them, but the COVID-19 pandemic brought delays. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an addendum last year giving cities and counties an extension if they send CalRecycle a “notice of intent to comply,” which

all Humboldt County cities did in April. Since then, cities, including Fortuna and Ferndale, have begun amending waste collection ordinances to include organic waste recycling. Fortuna’s ordinance states it will begin offering organic waste services next year. However, the start date is contingent on whether Eel River Recology, which handles Fortuna waste collection services, has the appropriate bins, trucks and a tipping floor needed to haul the new materials. “The main driver for that (date) is Recology doesn’t have the trucks, they don’t have the bins, there’s no possible way we could have that service implemented any faster than Jan. 1, 2023,” Fortuna City Manager Merritt Perry said. “So, my thought is

to put the effective date of Jan. 1, 2023, and adopt an ordinance that has the general provisions, which is the best we can do in the short-term. If we need to make any changes to the municipal code, we can make them in the six or eight months before its effective date — or push the date back if we’re unable to meet the original date.” Wise said industry demand for the trucks, which are made to order, and the price of metal have pushed deliveries back 18 to 24 months from the original date. But even with the trucks, Humboldt County is still missing an essential element to offering organic waste recycling: the tipping floor, or the facility where garbage trucks dump waste onto a conveyor belt to be sorted and baled for transportation to its

next destination. In the roadmap report, Edgar and Associates suggested that HWMA create an organic waste tipping floor by repurposing and relocating its Eureka Recycling Center. It’s the easiest and fastest way to start an organic waste collection service because the site is already built out and operating as a recycling processing center, which should make the permitting and zoning process swift. HWMA will close the Eureka Recycling Center on Aug. 1 to begin retrofitting the site for organic waste, according to a staff report from HWMA Executive Director Peter Fuller. HWMA is also expected to open a new recycling center for source-separated drop-off by November. “We’re all in this together,” Fuller said. Continued on next page »

ON THE COVER Continued from previous page

“It is fluid, it’s dynamic. It’s challenging for all of us. The engineers that I speak with have seen different permutations of how this has to go down. We’re all scrambling — productively — but scrambling to work together to make this happen.” HWMA is in the early negotiations to buy a property on West End Road in Arcata for the new recycling center. During a June 9 HWMA board meeting, HWMA Director of Operations Eric Keller-Heckman said the Arcata property has the potential for expansion and is ideal for all of the services offered at the Eureka Recycling Center. To date, the waste management company is on schedule to meet its November deadline for opening the new recycling center and its January deadline for opening an organic waste tipping floor and processing center. “HWMA staff and Edgar and Associates staff will be meeting with the local Humboldt County [CalRecycle Local Enforcement Agency] next week to discuss the permitting process and the amendments needed for the Hawthorne Street Transfer station,” Keller-Heckman said. “HWMA staff has begun to assess the infrastructure needs of the Eureka Recycling Center and what it’s gonna take to transform that into the organics processing facility and, right now, everything is currently on track.” Until then, HWMA will be purchasing necessary equipment, retrofitting the site, recruiting staff for the organic waste processing facility, recruiting a site supervisor for the new location and developing a request for proposals for the transportation and disposal of organic waste. HWMA is expected to open the organics processing facility to commercial and public drop-off by Jan. 1. The projected costs for relocating the Eureka Recycling Center and transforming it into an organics-processing facility range from $3.7 million to $4.7 million, with the largest expenditure being the purchase of a new property. (The company may also have to buy a new baling machine if the current one at the recycling center can’t be modified to fit the new location, according to a staff report.) But organic waste collection is only a small piece of the new system. Under the law, after organic waste is separated and baled, it must be sent to a facility to be turned into traditional organic waste byproducts, like compost and mulch. S.B. 1383 recognizes that methane emissions, as the EPA has reported, represent a lost opportunity to create energy by converting the emissions found in landfills into bioenergy, and requires organic materials to be converted into bioenergy (electricity derived from organic waste) and renewable natural gas (a liquid

form of bioenergy that can be used to fuel vehicles, electricity and thermal appliances like stoves, ovens and water heaters). And to close the organic waste economic loop, S.B. 1383 will also require municipalities to “procure” these organic waste recycling byproducts, from compost to biofuel, based on their population. Humboldt County currently doesn’t have a facility that is able to break organic waste down into compost, mulch or bioenergy. Edgar and Associates estimates a local composting facility should be permitted and operational in five years but, until then, the sorted and baled organic waste from the HWMA facility will be transported out of the county for processing. Municipalities will then need to backhaul compost and mulch from an out-ofcounty facility to meet S.B. 1383’s “procurement” requirement. But the methane emissions saved by organic waste recycling versus the carbon dioxide emitted from transporting materials is 20 to one (due to methane emissions being 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide), so the new system will result in an overall emissions reduction despite the additional vehicle trips. Based on Edgar and Associates’ initial calculations, Humboldt County as a whole will have to acquire approximately 5,990 tons of compost, 10,325 tons of mulch, 0.76 megawatts of bioenergy and 216,835 DGE (diesel gas equivalent) of renewable natural gas to be compliant with S.B. 1383. Each city will have its own required procurement amount based on its population. For example, Arcata must procure up to 839 tons of the 5,990 tons of compost and 1,446 tons of the 10,325 tons of mulch, 0.107 megawatts of bioenergy of the 0.76 megawatts of bioenergy and 30,371 tons of renewable natural gas of the 216,835 DGE. Arcata Environmental Services Director Emily Sinkhorn said the city is exploring different ideas for how it will use its required 839 tons of compost and 1,446 tons of mulch. “We know there are different types of arrangements and contracts in other cities, like partnering with agriculture companies or property managements, we just haven’t explored those in-depth,” Sinkhorn said. “We have a lot of open space and park spaces, so we’re analyzing how we can best utilize compost and mulch in those areas. It’s still to-be-determined but we’re working on it.” Compost and mulch can be used in community gardens and parks, and school gardens, while bioenergy and renewable natural gas (RNG) can be used for everything from powering wastewater treatment plants to power grids and trucks, but bioenergy and RNG don’t yet have the in-

frastructure necessary to support demand in Humboldt County. However, through an application process, CalRecycle allows procurement exemptions for rural, low-population jurisdictions due to their smaller organic waste footprints and significant challenges to collecting and repurposing organic waste. This could potentially exempt Humboldt County cities from having to purchase bioenergy and RNG, at least until they are in greater demand locally. To ensure California is meeting its goal of reducing methane emissions, CalRecycle is mandating robust record keeping with annual reports from cities and waste hauling companies, including copies of passed ordinances, route reviews and evaluations, collection service records, education and outreach records, edible food recovery program records, enforcement action records and complaints. Cities and jurisdictions will also be required to provide organic waste procurement records. The state will also require regular audits of garbage, organic and recycling bins, a responsibility that will fall to Recology because it has the proper equipment and knows all of the collection routes. Essentially, Recology will have to look into garbage bins to check that all waste is separated correctly. If Recology finds residents or businesses with contaminated bins — for example, if an organic waste bin has plastic bottles or wrappers — the company would report it to the city or county, which would then issue a fine according to the applicable local ordinance. For example, Fortuna’s ordinance states, “If the city determines that an organic waste generator, self-hauler, commercial edible food generator, food recovery organization, food recovery service or other entity is not in compliance with this chapter, it shall document the noncompliance or violation, issue an administrative citation and take enforcement action, as needed.” The administrative citation in Fortuna is $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second and $500 for the third offense within a year. Not only will S.B. 1383 divert methane

emissions through organic waste recycling, but it will also eliminate methane emissions released by salvageable food rotting in landfills through a food recovery program — a program desperately needed in Humboldt County, which has a food insecurity rate of 18 percent, higher than the national average of 12 percent. With a goal of recovering 20 percent of edible food from the waste stream, S.B. 1383 requires cities to create a program in which businesses like restaurants, hospitals and grocery stores, as well as organizations like schools, must donate leftover food to local shelters and food pantries instead of throwing them away. “Tier 1 food generators,” which include larger grocery stores and supermarkets, must begin the food recovery process by Jan. 1. “Tier 2 food generators,” which include restaurants with more than 250 seats, hotels with more than 200 rooms, health facilities like hospitals with more than 100 beds, large venues and state and educational facilities with large cafeterias, must begin by 2024. The food recovery program will be a collaborative effort between businesses and organizations, food pantries and local shelters, cities and the Humboldt County Environmental Health Department, which manages food safety inspections. Edgar and Associates has finished the first draft of the county’s food recovery strategic plan, which gives clear recommendations and next steps to build out the program. It also assesses the county’s capacity to save edible food, outlines possible funding streams to support the program and identifies which businesses in the county must participate based on their size and waste accumulation. The draft has yet to be made public but is in the hands of the Solid Waste Local Task Force for review and comment. It will be discussed further during the next meeting on July 25. Last year, Zero Waste Humboldt created a similar assessment looking at the potential capacity for an edible food recovery program in Arcata and Eureka. It found that all food recovery organizations in Arcata and Eureka could accept more non-perishable donations based on the current level of demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation. However, there are limitations to the amount of perishable food organizations can receive. “Food recovery organizations’ expansion is limited by lack of basic infrastructure:

sufficient cold and dry storage space, a lack of refrigerated trucks, and need for the paid staff to manage coordination, collection and record-keeping,” the report states. All food recovery organizations interviewed for the Zero Waste Humboldt Assessment expressed an interest in expanding food recovery efforts but said they would need the proper trucks and equipment to do so. Food for People, Humboldt County’s principal food bank, for example, is currently in the process of rebuilding its main site after sewer inundation in 2020 rendered the building unusable, forcing the organization to lease different buildings and leaving it unable to support an increase in perishable food at the moment. The organization is slated to open a new, expanded facility later this year. The Salvation Army and the Betty Kwan Chinn Foundation both would need to purchase walk-in freezers to safely store more perishable food but grant funding for nonprofits almost always comes as reimbursements, creating cash flow problems. Although there is still a long way to go in expanding food recovery in the county, some of it is happening now. The assessment found every grocery store in Eureka and Arcata is already participating in a food donation process, either donating to a food pantry or a local pig farm, but some challenges exist, including a need for regular, consistent donation collection services, the staff time required for scheduling donations, navigating regulations pertaining to perishable food donations and concern over litigation associated with donating perishable food, among others. In order to create a sustainable food recovery program in the county, local governments, businesses and nonprofits will need to create new partnerships. The Solid Waste Local Task Force, along with HWMA, Recology and other waste haulers in the area, will continue to meet regularly to discuss next steps toward fully implementing the robust organic waste recycling law. The collective effort has begun and will continue for the next five years, at least. “This stuff isn’t going to happen overnight,” Wise said. “We’re still years away from a fully phased organic waste recycling program but some jurisdictions may come to see it more quickly than others.” ● Iridian Casarez (she/her) is a staff writer at the Journal.

Ale in the Castle

Arcata’s brew scene has a new addition By Erin Young

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

uilt on Arcata’s H Street in 1885 as the former clubhouse for the Knights of Pythian, Pythian Castle has lived many lives and is currently inhabited by multiple clothing shops including a grand-papi of local thrift shops, the Vintage Avenger. But there has been a small restaurant space nestled in among the retail shops that had yet to find its forever match — like a shell without its hermit crab. Because the space has turned over a few times in recent history, it is easy to overlook that a new business has moved in. But let me assure you, Oak Brewery and Deli is not to be overlooked. After a career of working in events in Southern Humboldt came to an abrupt halt during the infamous pandemic, Bryce Cherpelis needed to make a hard pivot. Cherpelis’ parents had been home brewing since 1993 and when they moved to Florida, Cherpelis called a quick “dibs” on the brewing equipment as well as the family recipe book. Paired with his 10 years of experience working in a deli, Cherpelis saw the perfect new venture, which just launched in January. The interior of Oak Brewery and Deli is clean and simple and shows that it has room to grow and continue to make its mark. Though the simplicity of the space

is misleading, as Cherpelis renovated the whole interior — including a reclaimed teak floor and new, special electrical wiring for brewing — all in a successful transformation from the salon that it had been most recently. The true focal points of the shop are the impressive deli case and the even more impressive fermentation tanks behind the counter. But let’s not bury the lead here — the beer is delicious. At the moment, Cherpelis is only producing a few beers at a time and rotating them regularly, so there is always something new to try. When I went to taste with Cherpelis, the two he had on tap after a very busy weekend with Oyster Festival, were the Redwood Creek Sessions IPA, which was a more “daytime” IPA as Cherpelis described, with a lower, 4-percent alcohol content and a soft stone fruit flavor (would absolutely recommend), and the Berliner Weiss Sour, which was beautifully complex with a 5-percent alcohol content, notes of bananas foster, brioche, pineapple and a slight touch of hops (my personal favorite and I went back for a full pint). I also got the opportunity to taste some new, unfinished beers that were still wrapping up the fermentation process. And even without bubbles and final

HUMBOLDT touches, they were delicious and I could tell that they were going to be fantastic. The Vienna Pilsner, which is brewed from an Austrian grain, had slightly more hops than the other two, with unique notes of Meyer lemon, tangerine and orange blossom; the Mexican Lager was lighter, with notes of white nectarine, apple, lemon and spice; and the Pale Red Ale had a bigger body, more hops and a scrumptious red delicious apple flavor. All of these may be on tap by the time this article publishes but, honestly, I hope that they were popular enough that they’re already on to the next round. The boutique nature of the small brewery is what really makes each product special. The hands-on techniques that Cherpelis takes ensure quality, as well as fewer chemical cleaners, as he takes the time to “care about every corner of the kettle.” And the full grain he uses rather than malt (which is a dehydrated, concentrated product) means a longer extraction process, but also some incredibly nuanced flavor. Though the beer certainly is the star of the show, one of the things that I was very impressed by was the quality of

the food Oak Brewery and Deli offers. Ingredients are sourced locally (including the ever-delicious Brio Breadworks). The food is simple, but excellent because as Cherpelis says, “We use really good product and put it together.” When I was there, the soup of the day was a chicken wild rice, which I all but completely inhaled, and I also had a chance to try the brie and prosciutto sandwich and the Oak Reuben, which was spectacular. Though the business is still new, it’s just getting started. For now, Oak Brewery and Deli is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with entertainment and events on Fridays from 7 to 9 p.m. Beers rotate regularly, sticking around for two to three weeks at a time and plans are in the works to expand to filling growlers, as well as selling in local shops soon. But it doesn’t stop there. Cherpelis says the next goal is to expand into an offsite brewing space to increase from a 100 gallon production to about 1,000 gallons, as well as expanding the packaging and distribution of the product. And from what it sounds like, that’s just the next step and there is so much more to come. ●

“LARGEST BRAND SELECTION IN THE COUNTY”

h, how I love paddling on Humboldt Bay. When the tide is right, I might visit Indian Slough, where the narrow wandering passageways remind me of tiny lanes I’ve cycled in Wales, my husband Barry’s homeland. In spring, I spot nesting egrets clustered high in the cypresses and schools of sandpipers resting on the mud flats in low tide. Sometimes I weave in and out of pilings, like a slaloming skier, or see if I can squeeze through the opening of a channel marker without touching it. As long as it’s not too windy, I love the bay and never tire of its docks, moorings, jetties, marinas, faded fishing boats and decommissioned pulp mill. Unlike many paddlers we know, I’ll take the bay over Stone Lagoon any day. They avoid the bay because you have to pay attention to the tides. But Barry and I have a handy tide app, so we know when it’s possible to, say, circle Woodley Island, which you can only do when the tide is 5 feet or higher. The only downside of the app is that it can be off by an hour or more, and a few weeks ago I misjudged it, thinking the tide was at slack when it had already turned. Along with the gusts of wind, it was heavy going. I’m not a warrior paddler; no chop, wind, or rain for me. Unlike kayakers, I don’t even like wakes. Easy for them, all snug in their nests. “Try loving wakes when you’re standing on a paddleboard,” I tell Barry. I decided to cut my losses and get off at the Adorni Center. My paddleboard is so light, I was ready to whisk it home, but Barry turned out to be only a block away and carried it for me. Such a gentleman. Meanwhile I’ve recently started a new form of cross-training: Whenever I need a change of venue from strolling around Eureka’s streets, I hop on my paddleboard and head over to Woodley. Such was the case a few days ago. I took off from Old Town’s C Street dock,

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Pacific Halibut Quota Nearly Met

TAPPIN ROOTS

ALL STAGES FERTILIZER GALLON

avorable ocean conditions for a good part of July, along with the closure of ocean salmon, has led to anglers putting a very large dent in the Pacific halibut sport quota. So much so that it could be met prior to Aug. 1, when the ocean salmon season opens back up. The hope was the halibut quota would carry into August giving anglers three options — rockfish, salmon and halibut — to target. The one thing we know is once Aug. 1 rolls around, salmon will become the species of choice. But if that fishery doesn’t pan out, it’s nice to have a couple other options in your back pocket. We’ll know where we stand once the quota is updated by California Department of Fish and Wildlife later this week. As of Tuesday, California’s share of Area 2A’s quota, which includes Washington and Oregon, is at 70 percent, with 26,706 net pounds harvested against the 38,740 quota. The daily bag and possession limit for Pacific halibut is one fish with no minimum size limit. For more information on Pacific halibut, visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/ Conservation/Marine/Pacific-Halibut.

The Oceans: Eureka

Less than ideal ocean conditions along with big King tides made for a tough halibut bite over the weekend. But the fish are still there, according to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “The fish seem like they’re moving around a lot,” he said. “I’m not sure if the tides and currents have something to do with that, but we’re having to move around quite a bit. When the conditions are right, the fishing is still really good. The black cod have thinned out a little, which makes things much easier. Rock fishing is still excellent at the Cape, but we haven’t had a whole lot of opportunity to get down there with the ocean conditions.”

Trinidad

“The ocean has been a little lumpy, especially at low tide, but the rockfish are

still biting, “said Curt Wilson, of Wind Rose Charters. “We’re still spending most of our time near Patrick’s Point towards the Turtles catching some nice black rockfish and a few lings. The Pacific halibut bite is still good, I’d say it’s a steady pick. The fish are all over the place from the Head to the Point in 250 to 260 feet of water. The crabbing has slowed way down and it’s likely done for the season, but we’re setting our rings out before each trip.”

Crescent City

A few California halibut are being caught along South Beach, according to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. “Small boats and kayaks trolling bait have had some decent success,” said Carson. “The clamming during last week’s minus tides was excellent. The people who knew what they were doing scored easy limits. The rockfish and lingcod bite is still really good when the boats can get out. The redtail perch bite has really turned on at Kellogg Beach. Sand crabs and the Berkeley Gulp Worms have been the top bait.”

The Rivers: The salmon bite has been up and down

in the estuary to date. There are oceanfresh kings pouring in on every tide, but they aren’t always in the biting mood. Water temperatures over the weekend at the mouth reached 71 degrees. Anchovies rigged with or without a spinner blade have been the top producers so far, but Kastmasters are catching quite a few. The best fishing has been on the incoming and a couple hours after the high tide.

Lower Rogue

Water temperature near Agness have ranged from 72 to 75 degrees, forcing salmon to hold up in the bay, reports Martin. “Fishing in the Rogue Bay has been the best so far this season, with most boats catching multiple fish. Plain anchovies are working well. Tides this week switched to a morning bite near the jetties and in front of Jot’s.” l Kenny Priest (he/him) operates Fishing the North Coast, a fishing guide service out of Humboldt specializing in salmon and steelhead.

The story hasn’t changed much out of Shelter Cove, according to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “Rock fishing has been steady with the ling cod still being pretty difficult to locate,” said Mitchell. “There’s been a few Thresher sharks around and some more bait starting to show up. Hopefully there will be some salmon around when it opens back up on Friday.”

SETLIST

Come On Feel The Noise By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

e’ve got a lot of great local gigs this week, which is about as good as it gets regarding midsummer Setlists. And many of them are free, which certainly doesn’t hurt with the way things are at present. Despite my own hectic schedule, I was able to catch a few good ones last week and was rewarded each time. Even if you don’t have the time for a complete show, a partial still counts toward full credit regarding the feeling afterward. Think of it like spending an hour or two at the river rather than camping overnight, or daytripping in lieu of a multi-day hike. It’s still a good time. And these days, lord knows, good times are a precious commodity. Go get at it.

Thursday

Hip hop Thursday is a thing at The Jam, where starting at 10 p.m. you can catch some of Humboldt’s best rhyme-sayers and beat makers doing their thing near the iconic mural of the late, great Muddy Waters. This week has Chuck Angeles, Flo J Simpson and others rocking the beat. I don’t know the exact door charge so bring some dough just in case.

Friday

Humboldt’s beloved traveling musical couple, Nola and Dieter, have returned from their sonic wanderings to hole up in the county for a spell and drop some tunes. Most famous locally for their group Opossum Sun Trail (as well as their countless collaborations), the pair plays the Siren’s Song Tavern tonight under the moniker Landers Drifters, which I am told by Nola is a “cosmic Americana act with some covers, in the vein of The Flying Burrito Brothers.” That’s good enough for me. Dieter and local badass Nicholas Dominic Talvola open the night with their project iichiko Brain. This one’s gonna be good, folks. 8 p.m. (Free).

The retro-punk sounds of Courtney Jackson fill The Shanty during the Songwriters Circle of Death beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday. Submitted

Saturday

You have the option of an all-day and into the night event in the form of a block party put on by Arcane Artists in front of the Kinetic Sculpture Lab over at 820 N St. in Arcata, where a $20 general pass will grant you access to many hours of quality music and good times, starting at 4 p.m. However, if you want something more intimate with ties to the good old days of the HumCo music scene, you might want to head over to Lost Coast Brewery, where Sonoma County’s trio of Humboldt music veterans The Beer Scouts will be playing a lot of blues and rock, in the form of covers and originals. This is a free matinee show at 3 p.m., so you have the option of enjoying some portions from each feast.

Sunday

The Songwriter Circle of Death is a fantastic tradition, where a handful of local tunesmiths take turns on the mic with their finest compositions, flogging their feelings in front of a barful of cheering onlookers. This marks the 17th edition of this hallowed event, and the talent on the roster is about as top notch as it gets in our neck of the woods. Come enjoy the country stylings of Kenny Bowling, the perfectly bratty retro-punk sounds of Courtney Jackson and the drunken bass pummel of our dear Dave O, aka TheBoredAgain. I just caught Dave’s set with The Smashed Glass opening for the Pine Hill Haints and, let me tell you, the last two years of crap have been great for the man’s chops. Ditto Ms. Jackson, whose latest release with Clean Girl and the Dirty Dishes gave me goose bumps in my rave review in these pages. Mr. Bowling I have seen the least, but I plan to remedy that,

and you should, too. Come over to The Shanty at 2 p.m. to see what it’s all about, all you need to get in the door is a pulse and a shadow.

Monday

It’s another quiet summer Monday, sadly. However, I’m going to toss out some entertainment suggestions that you can pursue. In terms of cinema, one of my favorite films, Meet Me in St. Louis, begins in the summer of 1903, so it might be considered a summertime flick. A young Judy Garland is perhaps a more earnest figure than nearly anyone alive now or then, so the plot still kicks. As far as music goes, one of my all-time favorite lazy dog day records is Nilsson Sings Newman. If you know, you know.

plex tonight at 8 p.m. ($20/ $15 advance). This is a fantastic show for those in the know and of a sympathetic aesthetic background, as evidenced by our local heroes Clean Girl and the Dirty Dishes rounding out the bill. Dirty dishes and puff pastries galore! l Collin Yeo (he/him) is just some dude who lives in Arcata.

Tuesday

I’ve been saying this, but I have to do it again, as I recently got a re-up and enjoyed the gig immensely. Word Humboldt’s free open mic at Northtown Coffee at 6 p.m. is very real. You can experience everything from the sublime to the cringey, with nothing held back. It is a special experience, and I fully endorse it. And if you get there early enough, you can sign up for the mic, thus changing the room’s landscape with the geography of your mind.

Wednesday

I’ve lauded Fresno’s Fatty Cakes and the Puff Pastries here before, when they came and rocked the town with a chamber pop cast fused to a riot grrl ethos. Well, the band is back at it again, and can be found at the Mini-

For those who’ve taken a shine to classic and vintage cars, the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo is nothing short of Heaven. For three days — July 22-24 — the city of Fortuna will be crammed with car aficionados and hundreds of four-wheel and two-wheel beauts lining the streets, hoods up, chrome polished and selfie-ready.

Get detailed info at www.redwoodautoXpo.com.

eads up, Humboldt: While the county’s masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and “avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.” COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.

SCREENS

Crimes Fails to Captivate By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

CRIMES OF THE FUTURE. I suspect the only people ambivalent about the work of David Cronenberg are those who have not seen it. For all the rest, he is a polarizing figure: either a loathsome degenerate or one of the most noteworthy creators working in the medium; OK, maybe both. Matters of taste aside, he remains one of the most significant voices in modern cinema and one of the — increasingly — rare few who, after making significant contributions to the color and shape of movies over the decades, continues to generate lively, distinctive work. As one of the originators of what would become known as “body horror,” Cronenberg has spent the better part of six decades exploring (perhaps more aptly dissecting) the human form, particularly as it relates to and is governed by some of the cruder, less-understood impulses of the brain and technology created thereby. He has simultaneously, through mastery of the form, elevated these explorations to high art, wherein lies the challenge (for some). He has cultivated a complete aesthetic, a finely controlled assemblage of casting, lighting, sound, camera placement/movement and editing, that is uniquely his own. So much so that his work, among only a handful of contemporaries, is recognizable within seconds, if not mere frames. Granted, those frames may well contain a bony, alien protuberance affixed to or at work on a human body; no fair cheating. Point being, Cronenberg is, was and will be an artist with something to say, even if the audience to which he says it diminishes with time. And so, to me, Crimes of the Future, his first feature since Maps to the Stars (2014), was required viewing and something I looked forward to. To backtrack, I probably first became aware of his work through references to Scanners (1981), most memorably in Wayne’s World (1992), which I’ll freely admit was a more significant influence on me at the time. But in fairly short order I be-

Crimes of the Future

came acquainted with his ingenious, deliriously disgusting version of The Fly (1986), a showcase for leads Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum, as well as the goo and prostheses that partially define the Cronenberg canon. Meanwhile, I would catch fragments of his Naked Lunch (1993) adaptation on the Independent Film Channel and its perverse puppetry began to color my dreams. And then, of course, there was Crash (1996), which I watched at a particularly formative, probably problematic moment in my development. Since overshadowed by Paul Haggis’ misguided, tone-deaf, denigrated-in-hindsight Oscar winner of the same title, the first and only true Crash is an adaptation of JG Ballard as only Cronenberg could do it, exposing a visceral connection between machinery, injury and sexuality that must — or must not, depending on one’s sensitivities — be seen to be reckoned with. The following decade brought A History of Violence (2005) and Eastern Promises (2007), both bloody, bruising departures from the themes of Cronenberg’s earlier work but also appropriate, troubling, unsettlingly satisfying additions to his resume. Crimes of the Future marks something of a return to those earlier themes, harkening back especially to the medical grotesquerie and anachronistic futurism of Dead Ringers (1988). In a near future — parallel present, maybe, it’s hard to say — unknown influences have altered the course of human evolution. Pain is experienced only by a rare few, apparently only in sleep. Surgery has become a popular underground pastime occasionally elevated to performance. Oh, lest I forget, people tend to grow previously unseen organs

which, by rule of law, are removed and then cataloged by a government agency. Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) and Caprice (Léa Seydoux) have become prominent figures in the scene, with her public removal of his tattooed innards an event breathlessly awaited by the faithful. Meanwhile, a fringe group prepares to make their particular brand of guided mutation known to the world, even as the powers that be encircle them. It would be unfair to call Crimes of the Future disappointing. It is exceptionally well-acted, with Kristen Steward doing especially amazing work as a weird, mousy sycophant. Howard Shore’s music is appropriately haunting and the Cronenberg trademarks are firmly in place. But the story — and perhaps it is a mistake to attach too much importance to it — seems underdeveloped. The central idea, the germ in the movie’s tissue, is fascinating but insufficiently explored to be captivating. R. 107M. AMAZON PRIME. ● John J.

Week of July 21, 2022 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: To heal yourself, bestow two blessings, one on a human and one on an animal. Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are entering the Season of Love’s Renewal. To celebrate, I offer you a poem by eighth-century Tamil poet Andal. Whatever gender you may be, I invite you to visualize yourself as the “Snakewaist woman” she addresses. Here’s Andal, bringing a fiery splash of exclamation points: “Arouse, Snakewaist woman! Strut your enchantment! Swoop your mirth and leap your spiral reverence! As wild peacocks shimmer and ramble and entice the lightning-nerved air! Summon thunderheads of your love! Command the sentient wind! Resurrect the flavor of eternal birth!” TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Work harder, last longer, and finish with more grace than everyone else. 2. Be in love with beauty. Crave it, surround yourself with it, and create it. Be especially enamored of beautiful things that are also useful. 3. Taste the mist, smell the clouds, kiss the music, praise the earth, and listen to the moon in the daytime sky. 4. Never stop building! Keep building and building and building: your joy, your security, your love, your beauty, your stamina, your sense of wonder. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini astrologer Astrolocherry says that while Geminis “can appear naive and air-headed to onlookers, their minds usually operate at light speed. They naturally absorb every surrounding particle of intellectual stimuli. They constantly observe their interactions for opportunities to grow their knowledge.” I believe these qualities will function at peak intensity during the next four weeks, Gemini—maybe even beyond peak intensity. Please try to enjoy the hell out of this phase without becoming manic or overwrought. If all goes well, you could learn more in the next four weeks than most people learn in four months. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Naeem Callaway founded Get Out The Box, an organization that mentors at-risk youth in low-income and rural communities. Here’s one of his central teachings: “Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take the step.” Even if you don’t fit the profile of the people Callaway serves, his advice is perfect for you right now. For the time being, I urge you to shelve any plans you might have for grandiose actions. Focus on just one of the many possible tasks you could pursue and carry it out with determined focus. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Leo astrologer I’ve known for years told me, “Here’s a secret about us Lions. No matter what happens, despite any pitfalls and pratfalls, my ego will stay intact. It ain’t gonna crack. You can hurl five lightning bolts’ worth of insults at my skull, and I will walk away without even a hint of a concussion. I believe in myself and worship myself, but even more importantly: I trust my own self-coherence like I trust the sun to shine.” Wow! That’s quite a testimony. I’m not sure I fully buy it, though. I have known a few Leos whose confidence wavered in the wake of a minor misstep. But here’s the point of my horoscope: I encourage you to allow a slight ego deflation in the coming days. If you do, I believe it will generate a major blossoming of your ego by August. And that would be a very good thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo poet Claude de Burine described how one night when she was three years old, she sneaked out of the house with her parents’ champagne bucket so she could fill it up with moonlight. I think activities like this will be a worthy pursuit for you in the coming days. You’re entering a favorable phase to go in quest of lyrical, fanciful experiences. I hope you will make yourself available for marvels and curiosities and fun surprises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a distinction between being nice and being kind. Being nice is often motivated by mechanical politeness, by a habit-bound drive to appear pleasant. It may be rooted more in a desire to be liked than in an authentic urge to bestow blessings. On the other hand, being kind is a sincere expression of care and concern for another. It fosters genuine intimacy. I bring these thoughts to your attention because I think that one of Libra’s life-long tasks is to master the art of being kind rather than merely nice. And right now is an especially favorable phase for you to refine your practice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You sometimes feel you have to tone down your smoldering intensity, avert your dark-star gazes, conceal your sultry charisma, dumb down your persuasive speech, pretend you don’t have so much stamina, disguise your awareness of supernatural connections, act less like a saint and martyr in your zealous devotions, and refrain from revealing your skill at reading between the lines. But none of that avoidance stuff usually works very well. The Real You leaks out into view. In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t engage in any of the hiding behavior I described. It’s a favorable time to freely pour forth your Scorpionic blessings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There could be interesting and important events happening while you sleep in the coming nights. If a butterfly lands on you in a dream, it may mean you’re prepping for a spiritual transformation in waking life. It could be a sign you’re receptive to a breakthrough insight you weren’t previously open to. If you dream of a baby animal, it might signify you’re ready to welcome a rebirth of a part of you that has been dormant or sluggish or unavailable. Dreams in which you’re flying suggest you may soon escape a sense of heaviness or inertia. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How to be the best Capricorn you can be in the coming weeks and months: 1. Develop a disciplined, well-planned strategy to achieve more freedom. 2. Keep clambering upwards even if you have no competitors and there’s no one else at the top. 3. Loosen your firm grasp and steely resolve just enough so you can allow the world to enjoy you. 4. Don’t let the people you love ever think you take them for granted. 5. Be younger today than you were yesterday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the next seven to eight weeks, I’d love for you to embody an attitude about intimacy articulated by author Hélène Cixous. Here’s her aspiration: “I want to love a person freely, including all her secrets. I want to love in this person someone she doesn’t know. I want to love without judgment, without fault. Without false, without true. I want to meet her between the words, beneath language.” And yes, dear Aquarius, I know this is a monumental undertaking. If it appeals to you at all, just do the best you can to incorporate it. Perfection isn’t required. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I periodically consult a doctor of Chinese Medicine who tells me that one of the best things I can do for my health is to walk barefoot—EVERYWHERE! On the sidewalk, through buildings, and especially in the woods and natural areas. He says that being in direct contact with our beloved earth can provide me with energetic nourishment not possible any other way. I have resisted the doc’s advice so far. It would take the soles of my feet a while to get accustomed to the wear and tear of barefoot walking. I bring this up, Pisces, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to try what I haven’t yet. In fact, anything you do to deepen your connection with the earth will be extra healing. I invite you to lie in the sand, hug trees, converse with birds, shout prayers to mountains, and bathe in rivers or lakes. l

1750 book An Original Theory, or New Hypothesis of the Universe by Thomas Wright, an English sailor and surveyor who’d turned his attention to the heavens. Wright was actually more interested in the religious overtones of his various models of the universe — where God’s throne was located and where Hell is — than in serious cosmology. Serendipitously, the review distorted his ideas, so what Kant saw wasn’t quite what Wright proposed, but was closer to what we now know to be true: The reason we see the Milky Way as a ghostly band across the night sky is that our galaxy is a flattened disc of stars, of which our sun is one of many. When we look into the plane of the disc, we see many stars, i.e. the Milky Way. When we look perpendicularly to the disc, we see comparatively few. Kant reasoned that if such a body were seen from afar, it would appear either “as a patch of space whose figure will be circular if its plane is presented directly to the eye, and elliptical if it is seen from the side or obliquely.” The latter, he theorized, was the case with the Andromeda nebula (our closest large neighboring galaxy, just visible with the naked eye), which was “nothing else than a mass of many fixed stars.” It was faint because of its distance, he correctly surmised. That is, Andromeda is a distant replica of our own Milky Way, an island universe in its own right and perhaps one of many. The quotes are taken from Kant’s book Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens, published in 1755. Nearly 100 years later, William Parsons’ sketch of the Whirlpool Galaxy would be the first direct confirmation of Kant’s speculations, as we’ll see next week. l

Located west of Dublin, Ireland, the Birr Leviathan was the world’s largest telescope from 1845 to 1917. Its designer, William Parsons (standing by the eyepiece) made the first observation of “spirality” in a nebula in April 1848, thus giving birth to cosmology as an empirical science. Image via the National Library of Ireland

f historians ever assign a date to our species coming of age, cosmologically speaking, my vote would be April 26, 1848. On that night, Parsons wrote in his notebook: “6-feet instrument. Saw the spirality of the principal nucleus very plainly; saw also spiral arrangement in the smaller nucleus.” He was referring to M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, a favorite target of amateur astronomers. It lies just below the end of the Big Dipper’s handle. This was the first time that a so-called nebula — one of hundreds of fuzzy “clouds” that share the night sky with pinpoints of stars — was resolved into a spiral structure. As he later wrote, per the lead quote, this was “unlike anything … in our system.” Our system being the Milky Way, with the implication that what he saw (and drew) must be outside and separate from our home galaxy. Astronomers of his age had barely come to terms with the fact that our sun was one of uncountable other stars that together make up the Milky Way, so the idea that our galaxy was but one of many was almost impossible to conceive. Almost. A couple of far-sighted thinkers had speculated on this idea nearly a century before Parsons’ breakthrough observation of another “island universe.” That catchy phrase originated with German philosopher Immanuel Kant nearly 100 years earlier, long before he turned his attention to the weighty matters of rationalism and empiricism. The youthful Kant read, in a Hamburg journal, a review of the

“We thus observe, that with each successive increase of optical power, the structure has become more complicated and more unlike anything which we could picture to ourselves as the result of any form of dynamical law, of which we find a counterpart in our [Milky Way] system.” — William Parsons, Third Earl of Rosse, on the Whirlpool Galaxy

NOTICE TO BIDDERS CONTRACTOR PREQUALIFICATION FOR: COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS RE-ENTRY RESOURCE CENTER PROJECT PROJECT #170223 Notice is hereby given that the County of Humboldt (COUNTY) has determined that all bidders on the Community Corrections Re-Entry Resource Project (Project #170223) to be undertaken by the COUNTY must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid on that project. The current estimate for the Project is approximately $22,750,000. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with the requirements of this NOTICE TO BIDDERS. Please note: Due to an extended review period for the construction documents, the list of prequalified contractors for this project from September of 2021 will expire prior to approval for bidding. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 20101(c), prequalification shall be valid for one calendar year following the date of initial prequalification. As a result, the County is releasing this revised prequalification packet to refresh the list of prequalified contractors. All interested contractors, including those on the expiring prequalification list, are required to resubmit a prequalification packet for scoring and evaluation if they are interested in bidding on the project. Copies of the Contractor Prequalification Packet for the Community Corrections Re-Entry Resource Project, #170223 are available for download from the County’s website at: https://humboldtgov.org/Bids.aspx. Contractors are responsible for monitoring this website for addendums to the Prequalification Package and answers to timely submitted questions. The Prequalification Package may also be seen at Humboldt County Department of Public Works, 1106 Second Street, Eureka, California. The COUNTY makes no guarantees and assumes no responsibility for information obtained from and errors that may exist in copies of the Prequalification Package retrieved from any other source. Contractors shall possess a California Class B license to bid as the Prime Contractor on this project. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid, fully complete the Application for Prequalification (included in this Prequalification Packet), provide all materials requested therein, and be approved by the County of Humboldt to be on the final pre-qualified bidders list. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 5:00 p.m. on August 11th, 2022 (8/11/22). Contractors are encouraged to submit their completed Application for Prequalification as soon as possible to allow the COUNTY, at their sole discretion, to notify Contractors of omissions of information to be remedied, and notify Contractors of their pre-qualification status in advance of the bid advertisement for this project. Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire, information about current bonding capacity, notarized statement from surety, and the most recent reviewed or audited financial statements, with accompanying notes and supplemental information, are required. The COUNTY will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors in respect to the size and scope of contracts upon which each Contractor is qualified to bid. The COUNTY reserves the right to check other sources available. The County of Humboldt’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria. The COUNTY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre-qualification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficient to disqualify them will be notified and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a pre-qualification rating. While it is the intent of the pre-qualification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the County of Humboldt in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the COUNTY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of pre-qualification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the COUNTY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness. One original and 3 copies of the Application for Prequalification shall be submitted to the address below. Digital copies and electronic submissions via email will not be accepted. The pre-qualification applications should be submitted under seal and marked “CONFIDENTIAL: PREQUALIFICATION SUBMITTAL PACKAGE FOR PROJECT #170223 – TIME SENSITIVE” to: Humboldt County Department of Public Works Attn: Thomas K. Mattson, Director 1106 Second Street Eureka, CA 95501

The pre-qualification applications (questionnaire answers and financial statements) submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection or public review. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in the appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for pre-qualification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose. Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify the COUNTY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury. Any information that is determined to be incorrect will lead to disqualification of Contractor before or after bidding. The COUNTY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and incidental omissions in the information contained in the pre-qualification application submitted. The COUNTY also reserves the right to make all final determinations, and to determine at any time that the pre-qualification procedures will not necessarily be applied to future public works projects. Contractors may submit completed Applications for Prequalification via mail or delivery service during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the Humboldt County Department of Public Works is open, to the address above. Contractors who submit a complete Application for Prequalification will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt by the COUNTY. The COUNTY may refuse to grant pre-qualification where the requested information and materials are not provided, or not provided by 5:00 p.m. on August 11th, 2022 (8/11/22). There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project will be permitted. The closing time for bids or the acceptance of bids will not be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions. Where a timely and completed application results in a rating below that necessary to pre-qualify, an appeal can be made. An appeal is begun by the Contractor delivering notice to the County of Humboldt of its appeal of the decision with respect to its pre-qualification rating, no later than 5:00 pm on the fifth calendar day following the day on which the notice of prequalification determination. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all rights to challenge the decision of the County of Humboldt, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding. Upon notice of disqualification, the Contractor will be notified of the basis for the prospective bidder’s disqualification and provided with any supporting evidence that has been received from others or adduced as a result of an investigation by the COUNTY. If the Contractor gives the required notice of appeal and requests a hearing, the hearing shall be conducted so that it is concluded no later than ten (10) calendar days after the COUNTY’s receipt of the notice of appeal, and no later than five (5) business days prior to the last date for the receipt of bids on the project. The hearing shall be an informal process conducted by a panel to whom the County has delegated responsibility to hear such appeals (the “Appeals Panel”). The Director of Public Works shall appoint, prior to commencing the prequalification process, three or more public employees, who have expertise regarding projects similar to this project, to serve as the Appeals Panel. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to present information and present reasons in opposition to the rating. Within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the hearing, and barring any external unforeseen conditions, the Appeals Panel will render its decision. It is the intention of the COUNTY that the date for the submission and opening of bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process. Note: A contractor may be found not pre-qualified for bidding on a specific public works contract to be let by the COUNTY, or on all contracts to be let by the COUNTY until the contractor meets the COUNTY’s requirements. In addition, a contractor may be found not pre-qualified for either: (1) Omission of requested information or (2) Falsification of information * * * ** NOTICE: To contractors who are using subcontractors for this job, please be advised that the COUNTY may require, as to subcontractors, one of the following: ⦾ The qualification of subcontractors in the following crafts or trades, following acceptance of your bid, but before the award is made: ⦾ Pre-qualification of all subcontractors. ⦿ Pre-qualification of subcontractors in certain crafts. ⦾ Post-bid qualification review.

El Camino Avenue, Suite 200 Sacramento, CA 95833 NEPAcomments@hcd.ca.gov These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Yurok Indian Housing Authority (YIHA). REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about August 9, 2022, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) will submit a request to HUD for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds, signed into law March 27, 2020, to undertake a project known as Yurok at Risk Homeless Non-Congregate Public Facilities. The proposed project site is a 49-acre undeveloped rectangular parcel located at Ross Property, Weitchpec, CA 95546 (Parcel No. 530-061-015) (LAT/LONG: 41.1919/123.7036) on the north side of the Klamath River in Humboldt County, California, and is part of the Yurok Reservation. The YIHA proposes to acquire five prefabricated cabins (approximately 300 to 440 square feet in size) to be placed on the project site. Each of the five units will house one to two individuals with health indicators putting them at risk of serious complications from Covid-19. In total, the five cabins will add 2,200 square feet of impervious surface to the project site, for a project site total of .1% impervious surface coverage. Water service will be provided by the Tribe’s Weitchpec water system, and connections to water/ wastewater will be completed during the pre-fabricated cabin installation on site. The total development cost is projected to be $430,202, which would be funded through HUD’s CDBG-CV program. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The California HCD has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the California HCD headquarters at 2020 W. El Camino Avenue, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 and may be examined or copied weekdays 9 A.M to 5 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the California HCD headquarters or NEPAcomments@hcd.ca.gov. All comments received by August 8, 2022, will be considered by the California HCD prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The California HCD certifies to HUD that Janice L. Waddell in her capacity as Community Development Branch Chief consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the Yurok Indian Housing Authority to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the California HCD’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the California HCD; (b) the California HCD has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Ms. Kimberly Nash, Director, Community Planning and Development at_COVID-19OEE-SFO@ hud.gov and SFCPDMail@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Janice L. Waddell California Department of Housing and Community Development Community Development Branch Chief
