NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

f you simply look at COVID-19 as a stress test, there’s no denying that Humboldt County, as a community, is failing.

It’s not just the numbers, which are awful. After all, the county confirmed more COVID-19 cases in August than it did in its two previous record months — the post holiday surge of December and January — combined. In fact, August — which fell some three and a half months after the entirety of the county’s adult population became vaccine eligible — accounted for 28 percent of the cases, 30 percent of the hospitalizations and 29 percent of the deaths that Humboldt has recorded over the entirety of the 18-month pandemic. All those numbers represent people right here in our community, people we live and work with, people we know.

Perhaps not unpredictably, our systems are flailing under the stress. Public Health has given up contact tracing efforts for large swaths of cases deemed low-risk, realizing it doesn’t have the bodies to keep up. In many cases, there are simply too many potential COVID exposures and contacts to effectively track the spread of disease. Meanwhile, St. Joseph Hospital, our primary center for COVID-19 care, is overwhelmed with hospitalizations and ICU patients, seemingly setting new records daily. Individual staffers are overwhelmed, too, by preventable death and debilitating illness, prompting some to walk off the job while others remain stressed and broken, feeling understandably angry at and deserted by the community they’ve dedicated themselves to taking care of. We’re failing them.

Amid this backdrop of disease and death, most of our 16,000 school-age children also returned to their classrooms last month, where teachers who’d entered the summer full of hope that a quasi-normal year lay ahead now find themselves teaching in person as the virus spreads at rates ten-fold worse than those that shuttered schools last year. They’re swallowing real fears of exposure for themselves and their families in order to bridge the learning gap and provide a safe space for the kids who need them most. We’re failing them, too.

And as the ICU at St. Joseph Hospital brimmed to capacity this past weekend, with a nursing staff waiting anxiously to see if state-deployed reinforcements would arrive, thousands of our neighbors descended on the Humboldt County Fair Grounds to revel unmasked, as others spilled into bars, movie theaters, music venues and friends’ homes, where their aerosols mingled and infections spread.

Make no mistake: For a community that prides itself on resiliency and self-reliance, this is a sad moment.

It’s not just that a year and a half into this

pandemic some of us still don’t understand how our actions have impacts that reverberate, it’s also that the stress of this pandemic is tearing us apart.

We see it on social media and hear it in conversation. One extreme says, “I’m healthy and strong. Let the vulnerable shelter in place and isolate; I’m going to live my life,” or responds to another death by asking about age and comorbidities, hunting for a way to minimize the impact. The other says, “I have no sympathy for unvaccinated people filling up the hospitals, no pity for the dead. They made their choices.”

What have we become? The truth is we’re all experiencing what a surgeon at St. Joseph Hospital described as a collective, slow-moving mass casualty event. To varying degrees, we’ve all witnessed death and debilitating illness and financial hardship and loss, and we know there will be more. There will also be sadness, anger and regret spilling in all directions.

As a community, we stand at the precipice.

Our hospital is overwhelmed, its staff broken.

If we continue apace, we will see the kind of horrors play out locally that we’ve only read about elsewhere: panels deciding which patients get life-saving oxygen and which don’t, providers forced to witness levels of death and loss from which they won’t mentally recover, patients dying alone in makeshift ICU rooms as others are simply left to gasp their last breaths at home. It’s a slow-motion disaster we’ve engineered by ignoring public health recommendations, refusing to accept science in favor of wild speculation and turning away from a free, safe and effective vaccine.

It doesn’t need to be like this. We collectively have all the tools we need to flatten this curve, lessen the spread of disease in our community and give our healthcare workers a sliver of respite. But to do that, we all need to understand that our choices matter. All of us, all of them.

The most important choice each of us can make is to get vaccinated, as it is proving incredibly effective at preventing severe illness and death, keeping people out of the hospital.

But vaccinated or not, we also need to stay home whenever possible, limiting outings and masking up when we do go out, while practicing physical distancing and refraining from gathering with people outside our households.

We honestly don’t know how we as a community recover from the collective trauma and divisions of this pandemic but we’d like as many of us as possible around to figure it out. More than ever, our neighbors’ lives — whether jeopardized by COVID or a car crash — hinge on each of us making the right choices. l

STEAM, not STEM Editor: Humboldt State University is at the beginning of an exciting new path to establish a polytechnic university right here in Arcata.

A very large sum of money is earmarked to make this transition.

In reading Barry Evans’ article (“Cal Poly Humboldt?” Aug. 26) he describes his own educational path as being an either/or situation regarding science or arts. It doesn’t sound like the most desirable kind of education.

Our university seems to be looking at a similar separation of “left” and “right” brain education for the next generation of students. I don’t see why the establishment of Cal Poly Humboldt needs to follow this line of thinking.

STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. To me this kind of education sounds very dry and dull, sort of like a saltine cracker without the salt. A newer, more complete approach to education is called STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, ARTS, and Math). Saltine with cheese and salsa!

STEAM and a polytechnic university complement each other. Mr. Evans says, “The polytechnic approach emphasizes handson, experiential learning ….” Precisely what arts education is all about! He further says, “… humanities and arts … the counterpoint to STEM.” I say, not so! STEAM education is complete education!

In my travels as a musician and music educator, I have met and made music with doctors, lawyers, computer engineers — even a NASA scientist!

HSU already has top-notch programs in music, theater, dance and art. They must be incorporated into any future for HSU and our next generation.

Fred Tempas, Arcata

‘Trashy’ Editor: I have hiked and biked many trails and

roads in northern Humboldt and have noticed lately, much to my dismay and frankly disgust, how trashy our environment has become. Plastic bags, disposable and recyclable containers, PPE, fast food cups, and those plastic or glass hard alcohol bottles are everywhere.

This seemingly infinite assortment of intentionally and unintentionally discarded junk just keeps piling up and most of us do not seem at all concerned. But, I for one am, actually, quite disturbed and embarrassed by it. What does it imply when a community of humans casually defiles their environment and then does almost nothing to clean it up?

This is an especially important question since we live by the Pacific Ocean. A lot of this detritus blows out to sea to poison and kill its creatures. Wake up Humboldt Citizens!

We and the rest of our species are destroying Mother Earth in many ways. If we do not correct our transgressions, we and many other species will cease to survive.

In response to this, I propose that governmental and private groups organize, collectively and cooperatively, weekly volunteer clean-up projects all over the county. Sure, every now and then we hear about a beach clean-up. That’s great, but the problem has gotten far too immense for occasional efforts to have any significant impact. We need weekly, year-round volunteer clean-up events and we need them now!

Martin Smukler, McKinleyville

‘So Enthused’ Editor: So enthused about your Aug. 18 issue, I had to write a letter after many years: Starting page-by-page with the Letters to the Editor, from Avis, Rogers and Jeff Knapp: Right on you three! Except Bill Morris, who said: “if the petulant children of ‘pro-Trump America’ hadn’t decided to embrace vaccine refusal.” Doesn’t he look at the stats? It is the young 20-to-30-year-old deniers who choose to deny, and they certainly weren’t pro-Trump. The Donald blame-game is

soooo old.

On to “CRV Buy-Back Returning to Humboldt,” thanks, Hambro! Why can’t Jill Duffy buy a truck, if that’s the answer?

Wow!!

The open letter from our doctors encouraging vaccinations “Please Get Vaccinated.” Such an important message from the medical community.

Next: “HSU foresees doubling Enrollment” (NCJ Daily). Can’t wait to see how city of Arcata handles this wonderful opportunity. The following cover story about HSU (“‘Beacons of Hope’”) excels again, lauding Project Rebound.

Continuing success: Jefferson Community Center (“The Jefferson Community Center is Turning Up the Heat”). Thank you, Heidi Benzonelli, and all your lets.buy.jefferson@ gmail.com supporters, including my 1992 councilmember son Jeff, who pushed for the EHS sale to them.

And finally, for the well-spoken words (“To Choke”) from Ron Kausen, our local youth’s sports hero. What a newspaper: Thank you!

Don Leonard, Eureka

Divine Intervention Editor: In the debate over vaccinations (“‘Felt Severely,’” Aug. 26), I’ve read quotes from people declining to be vaccinated because “they believe in God.” Which makes me wonder, to which God are they referring?

I know that, during the early months of the pandemic, millions of people around the

Terry Torgerson

world prayed that a vaccine would be developed. I know many, if not all, scientists and researchers of faith prayed that God would guide their hand as they devoted countless hours, days, months to develop a vaccine. I know that even non-believers would agree that the successful development of the vaccines in record time was nothing short of miraculous!

So, I have to ask: Why would any pious person decline a vaccine that is clearly a godsend?

Richard Salzman, Arcata

Unvaccinated House Calls Editor: When the tech from Suddenlink appeared at our front door, masked, I put on my mask and welcomed him in. I led him through the front room, down the hall, and into the room with the desk and Wi-Fi equipment.

A few minutes later, I asked if he had been vaccinated (Mailbox, Aug. 26). He said, “No.” It then occurred to me that I should have asked before admitting him. I hope that, had my great grandchildren been in the Continued on next page »

As he was leaving, I followed him outside. “May I ask you what made you choose not to be vaccinated?” He shrugged and said, “It’s not for me.”

I regret that I, speechless, didn’t plead with him to, first, let people know that he hasn’t been vaccinated before entering their homes and, second, avoid entering a house where children are present.

(Current rates of hospitalizations and deaths among young children are very alarming.)

No business should be sending unvaccinated employees into the interior spaces of people’s homes, especially into the presence of children or others who have not been vaccinated.

‘Desperate’

Nurse shortages are reaching a crisis point in California

Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

n the past month, four emergency room nurses — exhausted by the onslaught of patients and emotional turmoil wrought by COVID-19 — have quit at the Eureka hospital where Matt Miele works.

Miele, who has been a trauma nurse for four years, is actively looking for a less stressful nursing position and has colleagues who are, too.

“On the bad days, I think, ‘What am I doing and is this what I want to be doing?’”

Miele said. “It’s shifting me to my core.”

Around California — and the nation — nurses are trading in high-pressure jobs for a career change, early retirement or less demanding assignments, leading to staffing shortages in many hospitals.

Hospitals are struggling to comply with the state’s nurse staffing requirements as pandemic-induced burnout has exacerbated an already chronic nursing shortage nationwide.

But burnout isn’t the only thing compounding California’s nursing shortage: The state’s new vaccine mandate for health care workers is already causing headaches for understaffed hospitals before it is even implemented. Some traveling nurses — who are in high demand nationwide — are turning down California assignments because they don’t want to get vaccinated.

Hospitals say they are reaching a crisis

point, straining under the dual forces of more people seeking routine care and surging COVID-19 hospitalizations driven by the Delta variant.

“Oftentimes at hospitals there are long waits and long delays,” said Tom Sugarman, an emergency physician in the East Bay and senior director of government affairs at Vituity, a physicians’ group. “There’s not enough staff to keep beds open, and patients can languish waiting.”

In March of 2020, the California Department of Public Health contracted with Aya Health — one of the nation’s largest traveling nurse providers — to pay up to $1 billion over six months to help hospitals meet nursing and other clinical staff shortages.

Department officials did not respond to multiple requests about the number of hospitals now seeking emergency staffing, and would not release the updated contract.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an Aug. 16 executive order reinstating emergency provisions aimed at ensuring adequate staffing.

In part, the order allows health care workers from out of state to work in California.

Unprecedented staff shortages Before the pandemic, nursing shortages were common in most areas of the state, Continued on next page »

according to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development.

Now the pandemic has stretched resources to a breaking point.

Hospitals, some, like Humboldt, with more COIVD-19 patients now than during the winter surge, say they are confronting unprecedented staffing shortages, particularly among nurses.

“All of our hospitals are saying staffing is a big problem,” said Lois Richardson, attorney for the California Hospital Association. “We have fewer personnel than at the beginning of the pandemic and more patients.”

The staffing shortage is so severe that Scripps Health is considering temporarily consolidating some of its outpatient centers. Scripps, which has five hospitals and 28 outpatient clinics in the San Diego area, told CalMatters that it is serving nearly 20 percent more patients on average than before the pandemic. At the same time, job openings at the hospitals have increased 57 percent since August of 2019. For nursing jobs alone, vacancies have increased 96 percent.

“We’ve had some staff leave the organization or leave the industry as a whole because they’re burned out,” said Eric Cole, corporate senior vice president of human resources for Scripps. “They’ll wake up in the morning and call off the shift. They’ve done as much as they can do.”

Emotional and physical exhaustion is the primary reason nurses are fleeing the bedside, experts say. It has been a long and brutal 18 months.

“We thought the pandemic would be over soon and could take time later to deal with our emotions,” said Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, president of National Nurses United, the largest nursing union in the country, which has more than 100,000 members in its California association. “Then the second surge hit, and the third and now it’s the fourth.”

Mary Lynn Briggs, an ICU nurse in Bakersfield, said of the dozens of COVID-19 patients she has treated since the pandemic began, only three have survived.

“Some days coming home from the hospital I yell at God, I yell at myself, I yell at COVID and cry. And that’s all before I pull into my driveway,” Briggs said.

Her workplace has lost more staff than they can hire, and that means the ones who are left have to pick up the slack.

“There have been multiple nights where I swear I am tired and I need a night off, and then I get a call from somebody saying we’re going to give the nurse three patients, so I go in because I don’t want anyone to work out of ratio,” Briggs said.

“Out of ratio” means that a nurse is assigned too many patients. California is the

8

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

only state that caps the number of patients that can be assigned to a single nurse.

Under state requirements, for instance, an ICU nurse can have no more than two patients and an emergency room nurse no more than four.

In December, during the winter surge, emergency waivers for the ratios were granted to hospitals throughout the state, allowing ICU nurses to see three patients, for instance. Critics say the conditions threatened patient safety.

Newsom’s order last month did not reinstate the waivers of the nurse-patient ratios, which expired on Feb. 8. Individual facilities, however, can still apply for them.

“I would not be surprised if they reapply for waivers,” union president Triunfo-Cortez said.

The state health department did not respond to requests seeking information on whether hospitals have applied for staffing waivers in response to the shortages.

Vaccine mandate complicates staffing Hospital administrators worry that the state’s vaccine mandate for health care workers, which goes into effect Sept. 30, could drive some of their workers out.

Already, some report resistance among employees.

“One hospital told us they had 474 unvaccinated employees. They did a big education and incentive push. Only 12 people signed up,” said Richardson, the hospital association’s attorney.

Administrators are particularly concerned about low vaccination rates among support staff like janitors and food service workers. However, some nurses also are wary of the COVID-19 vaccine. Some nurses with large social media followings have participated in protests in Southern California, arguing that the mandates violate their personal freedom.

The vaccine order allows only for narrow religious and medical exemptions.

Until Sept. 30, unvaccinated workers must undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. The state nursing association issued a statement saying “all eligible people should be vaccinated.”

While California was first in the nation to impose a vaccine mandate for health care workers, other states have since joined in, but their mandates aren’t as broad.

Cole of Scripps Health said the state’s testing requirement, imposed in late August, already has discouraged some out-of-state, traveling nurses from taking temporary jobs at California hospitals.

“If they don’t want to get vaccinated, they are turning down California assignments,” he said.

Traveling nurses in high demand To contend with local shortages, hospitals are increasingly turning to hiring temporary, traveling nurses from around the country.

During the past 18 months, Janet Stovall, a traveling ICU nurse for more than 20 years, has worked in hospitals in the Imperial Valley town of Brawley, Visalia, Wichita, Kansas, and now Folsom and Alameda — and all of them have been running on “very lean staffing.”

“Last night there were ambulances waiting just to get into the ER to be evaluated, … They pulled a nurse from the ICU to help with the ER, and we worked without a charge nurse or a break nurse,” Stovall said.

Stovall said traveling nurses like her are in high demand. At one hospital, “we hadn’t even finished orientation when the VP of patient services called and said, ‘You need to leave right now, test out of orientation, and be at work by 11 p.m.,’” Stovall said.

“That’s how desperate they are.”

Sophia Morris, vice president of account management at Aya Healthcare, said California has the second highest number of positions posted for nurses, exceeded only

by Texas.

Nationwide more than 52,000 temporary health care jobs are posted, and Aya is only able to fill about 3,000 per week, she said.

“In the 16 years I’ve been in this space, I have never seen this high a need,” Morris said.

That need is creating intense competition for a limited pool of nurses nationwide.

“Nurses are getting paid premiums to work in Texas and Florida where it’s surging right now,” Sugarman said. “Those nurses have to come from somewhere, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some are coming from California.”

Hospitals have been paying twice as much as pre-pandemic times for travelers, Morris said.

To entice nurses to come to California, the state Department of Public Health agreed to pay up to $145 per hour for Aya Health’s ICU nurses and more if a facility had a “critical need.”

Stovall, who works for Aya, said between October and December 2020, she was paid $10,000 per week with an additional $2,000 if she picked up an extra shift.

It’s working — but not without consequences.

In the past seven months, every COVID patient that Janet Stovall (left) and Candace Brim treated has died.

The money is pulling “We took care of about 65 COVID patients in Brawley and not a single one made it,” Stovall said. “We coded full-time staff nurses into one every night. … Before (COVID), you could make a difference in someone’s life. Now I will do anything for traveling positions, further a patient, and it does not make a difference.” Photo by Anne Wernikoff/CalMatters aggravating the staffing shortage nationwide.

It’s Not a War, It’s Biology

By Mitch Trachtenberg views@northcoastjournal.com

T

he pandemic has brought forth the language of war: We must fight back against the virus, engage in battles, attack the enemy. It’s nonsense: Pandemics are biochemistry. Perhaps treating them as such will help depoliticize them.

Viruses are on the border between biology and chemistry; they rely on biological organisms for the “infrastructure” to reproduce themselves, having a minimal set of molecules themselves, some of which carry the instructions to be carried out by the organisms they encounter, while others allow them to attach to cells and “inject” their instructions through the cells’ container walls. They have no brains, no selfhood, no enemies, no battle plans — just an ability to reproduce.

It is our misfortune that evolutionary “survival-of-the-fittest” logic dictates that viruses become good at causing their hosts to spread them widely. So, while the virus doesn’t bear us any ill will, variants that incorporate chemicals that make their hosts sneeze and cough are the variants that spread because those sneezes and coughs send viral particles from our lungs into the air. The better a chemical makes us sneeze, the more the virus that incorporates that chemical spreads, and the more common it becomes (that’s what “survival of the fittest” means; the spreaders are the most “fit” to their evo-

lutionary niche). The evolutionary winners spread their copies to new hosts just as a dandelion — another “fit” evolutionary winner — spreads its seeds on the wind.

The damage it causes us is as inadvertent as dandelions taking over a lawn. There is no wish to destroy us — viruses that rapidly kill their hosts, rather than cause them to sniffle and cough, are actually losers in the genetic race because a dead host is not nearly as effective a spreader of viral genes as a coughing host.

In the ongoing, awe-inspiring coevolution that is biology, potential viral hosts require ways to determine what is their own and what is “outsider.” That is what our immune system does — it identifies the chemical signs of things that don’t belong, and responds by disassembling them and collecting them as garbage to be expelled from our bodies.

Just as a rescue dog needs a sniff of something someone’s worn in order to prepare them to find a missing person, an immune system performs best when it has already seen a chemical that it is supposed to dismantle. Thus, the amazing new messenger RNA vaccines work by causing the host — us — to build some, but not all, of the molecules a COVID-19 particle is constructed from. Our immune systems see these molecules as examples of “non-self,” and are then primed to find more, deconstruct them and expel them.

Because only some of the virus’ molecules are built, it is fundamentally impossible for these messenger RNA vaccines to cause complete viruses to be built; at best, they can build only a bit of a larger crossword puzzle. They cannot spread infection, they only spread “awareness.” That is, they give the body a preview sniff of what is “out there” so the immune system can tune itself to that new foreign object.

The more the various immune systems out there have seen of the new foreign substances that make up COVID-19, the fewer hosts will be turned into factories that churn out new copies of the virus.

The fewer coughing, sneezing hosts, the fewer viral particles spread. Every immune system that is introduced to the viral molecules is one less potential factory.

There’s one more piece to the puzzle.

When our bodies begin reproducing the viral molecules, not every reproduction is perfect. The more reproduction that takes place, the more imperfect copies get generated. And sometimes, these imperfect copies happen to have, in some way or other, a better fit to our cells’ reproductive equipment; perhaps they fit better into the membranes that surround our cells, or better fit into the reproductive factory lines themselves, or perhaps their chemicals are “better” irritants and make us sniffle and sneeze more, spreading more copies. Regardless, the more

viral particles are reproduced, the better (or worse!) the odds are that new, more infectious variants, will emerge.

The pandemic we are undergoing is not a battle, not a war, because there is no enemy. The pandemic is more an example of evolution in action. We are the ones with selves, not the virus. It is our choice whether to teach our immune systems about the new molecules evolution has created or not. It is our choice whether to become viral hosts or not. The only war is between understanding and disinformation, and what a shame it would be if disinformation wins, and more people die as an inadvertent result of encountering a new virus’ reproductive mechanism. ● Mitch Trachtenberg (he/him) is a computer programmer and freelance writer who lives in Trinidad.

The State of COVID-19 …

‘Is endemic, meaning it is everywhere.’

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

F

or 18 months now, local health officials have warned that a potential surge of COVID-19 cases had the potential to tear through the community with exponential growth and overwhelm Humboldt County’s fragile healthcare system. And as the Journal went to press Aug. 31, closing what was by far the darkest month yet locally in the pandemic, it was clear that moment is upon us.

The numbers are grim. The county confirmed 2,004 cases for the month — more than it saw combined in the post-holiday surges of December and January — to go with 98 hospitalizations, which account for 30 percent of the county’s total to date.

Most alarmingly, the county — home to 0.003 percent of the state’s population —

12

recorded 22 deaths in August, roughly 1.5 percent of the state’s COVID death toll for the month.

With this as a backdrop, Humboldt County Health Officer Ian Hoffman on Aug. 30 responded to an email from a local doctor that had been sitting in his inbox for a couple days. In it, the doctor pressed Hoffman as to why the county wasn’t doing more to report cases and vaccination information by ZIP code to offer a localized risk assessment. Hoffman’s response was blunt.

“The current state of COVID-19 in our community is that it is endemic, meaning it is everywhere,” he wrote. “We should all assume now we come into (contact with) multiple people a day who have COVID-19,

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

regardless of where you live in Humboldt. … Spatial analysis was helpful earlier in the pandemic when the disease was not so endemic. Now, our only real tool to get out of this is vaccination.”

But vaccination efforts have simply not kept pace with the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant and local systems have begun to buckle under the weight of the surge. Public Health has revamped its data collection and contact tracing efforts as staff — reduced with less state support in the wake of the state’s June 15 lifting of most COVID-19 restrictions — has struggled to keep up with soaring caseloads. Local hospital capacity, meanwhile, has been pushed to the brink, with a record 38 COVID-19 patients, including a record 13

under intensive care as the Journal went to press, according to state database. And because hospitalizations generally trend a couple of weeks behind case counts, it seems the situation will almost assuredly get worse before it gets better.

The View from the ICU When Karis Hassler answers the phone on Sunday, Aug. 29, the exhaustion is immediately evident in her voice. As the ICU nurse manager at St. Joseph Hospital, which cares for the vast majority of the county’s COVID-19 patients and nearly all of those who are critically ill, Hassler is tasked with making sure the hospital’s intensive care unit is staffed with enough nurses to care for its patients. It’s a daily struggle, she says,

Nicole Totten (seated) and Travis Morgan, both registered nurses, discuss COVID-19 patient care at St. Joseph Hospital.

Submitted

especially as her staff grapples with burnout and fatigue as patients keep arriving — and dying — at an unprecedented rate.

“My unit is full of COVID,” she says. “And as soon as a room empties because of tragedy, it fills right back up. … We are caring for people who are our age and younger, and they’re dying. And we’re giving them everything we have. It’s hard. A lot of what I’m doing right now is trying to figure out how to emotionally support these nurses who are beyond their breaking point right now.”

While recruiting and retaining nurses has long been a challenge in Humboldt County, the pandemic has made it far worse. Burnout and fatigue are significant, Hassler says, adding that her unit has seen “quite a bit of turnover” over the last year and a half.

Some nurses have simply re-evaluated their priorities and moved closer to family, she says, while the stress of treating COVID-19 patients has pushed others to leave intensive care nursing all together. Meanwhile, nurses have never been in higher demand, she says, so some have left to take traveling nursing jobs that promise pay as high as $10,000 a week.

So adequately staffing St. Joseph’s ICU

while giving nurses the time off needed to recharge between shifts has been an incredibly heavy lift, Hassler says.

“My days typically start at 6 o’clock in the morning if I don’t get any 3 a.m. calls or texts,” she says. “Then, I’m usually up until 9 p.m. or later trying to do work, just preparation and planning.”

Hassler says the hospital has been searching out help from all corners — traveling nurses, staffing agencies, recruitment efforts — but securing reinforcements has been difficult. Sometimes, she says, she’ll contract a traveling nurse only to have them not show up the day they’re expected. The need, she says, is “just so vast across our nation.”

And caring for COVID-19 patients takes a unique toll on providers, Hassler says, noting that a trauma surgeon at the hospital likened it to responding to “an extremely slow moving mass casualty event.” First, she says, there’s the sheer volume of patients, all of whom need intensive monitoring and care, which, coupled with hypervigilance and time needed to methodically don and take off personal protective equipment between interactions, is exhausting.

And in a small community, that volume of patients almost ensures caregivers will have some connection to at least some of their patients — maybe their kids go to the same school or they are a friend of a family member — which adds to the trauma, especially when patients are isolated and can’t have visitors. Then, she says, the disease is unpredictable and fast moving, even more so with the Delta variant.

“They’re sicker,” she says of the latest wave of patients. “And we’ve had instances where we think someone’s doing great — they’re up and walking around, even with their high flow oxygen, they can walk from bed to their recliner — then, suddenly, they’re gone. These are people that my caregivers know in their personal lives. …

It’s just a lot of grief. A lot of grief. We’re experiencing a tremendous amount of tragedy.”

Back in the December surge, staff pushed through, feeling they were holding the line for the community until a vaccine could provide a “light at the end of the tunnel,” Hassler says. That hope has been replaced by the frustration of knowing nearly every case is preventable. (Hassler says it’s “very rare” that a vaccinated patient comes into the ICU.) “There are times where we struggle with anger,” she says. “We’re trying to be very careful about that. We chose this profession to help people. And sometimes the amount of hopelessness that comes with this pandemic is not what we were called here to do.”

‘Very Dangerous’ During an Aug. 26 virtual press conference, four masked local health officials took turns urging local residents to get vaccinated and warning that widespread vaccination will provide the only road out of this current surge and out of the pandemic.

“Data from the New York Times a couple of weeks ago showed that, in California, unvaccinated people are about 68 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than vaccinated people and 58 times more like to die, and state and local data bear those trends out, as well,” said Communicable Disease Program Supervisor Hava Phillips.

Moments later, Hoffman said while vaccination is incredibly effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death, local data also indicates its effective at reducing transmission. On Aug. 27, the county released data showing that daily case rates among fully vaccinated residents have dropped sharply since the county reinstated a mandatory masking order Aug. 7 — falling from 28 cases per 100,000 residents to 16 — rates among unvacci-

nated residents continue to rise, hitting 83 percent 100,000 residents.

Illustrating the informational divide fueling the pandemic, Hoffman concluded his introductory remarks at the press conference with a warning for residents regarding ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication most commonly found in livestock dewormers.

“If you’re hearing things about ivermectin being good for treating COVID, this is not a recommended treatment,” he said.

“It’s well proven that it doesn’t do anything to prevent severe outcomes or hospitalizations with COVID-19 and it is potentially very dangerous.”

Responding to inquiries from the Journal, local feed and farm stores said they are increasingly getting calls from residents looking for ivermectin. One store manager reported his store had seen enough

potential customers seeking out the stuff that it had taken the precautionary step of moving its only ivermectin product — an apple-flavored paste used for deworming horses — behind the counter.

‘A Slight’ Paul Shen, a hospitalist who also works in St. Joseph Hospital’s ICU, recently had two COVID-19 patients die within a couple of days of each other. The first was a 45-year-old man. He was unknowingly a borderline diabetic and a bit overweight, but otherwise “pretty healthy and active” with no serious underlying conditions.

“He told me, ‘I don’t believe this COVID bullshit,” Shen says, the disbelief still evident in his voice over the phone. “By the time he was there for a few days, toward the end of his life, he got it. He told me,

‘I’m going to think about what you said about the vaccine.’ Then he died.”

Shen’s voice trails off for a moment.

“It just feels like a waste of human life,” he says. “Ninety percent of my patients that I discharge are actively looking to get vaccinated afterward. Because they understand. They’ve experienced it. I just don’t understand why we’re not learning from the entire country’s collective experience of people getting sick and dying.”

Shen has other stories, too. There was the 39-year-old rock climber and distance swimmer who had COVID and “recovered,” but couldn’t understand why he still couldn’t walk 10 feet without getting short of breath. Shen says he explained that the man’s COVID-19 induced inflammation had died down and he had no blood clots, that “the pieces I can treat from COVID, they’re all treated.”

“I said, ‘I’m sorry, can I just ask you why you didn’t get the vaccine?’” Shen says, “He just put his head in his hands and said, ‘I just didn’t,’ and was obviously very regretful at that point.”

Then, Shen says, there are patients for whom he’s detailed a course of treatment

only to have them or their family member Google an experimental drug or therapy on their phones and ask why Shen hasn’t recommended it. Usually, Shen says, they are depending on articles or social media posts from “unverified, poorly documented sources.”

“I don’t know what’s going on with information or misinformation on the internet these days but it’s really causing a problem for us on the front lines,” he says.

“It definitely is a source of burnout. … I went through a lot of training to become an expert in this field. Having to convince someone I know what I’m doing, I’ve never encountered that with any disease in the past. It’s a new territory and it’s hard to process.”

The current situation in the ICU feels senseless, Shen says, with unvaccinated people coming in at escalating rates when there is a free preventative measure readily available. He says providers also have to grapple with the fact that they’re treating patients whose decision not to have gotten vaccinated has put providers — and their families — at increased risk.

“The providers that I work with, the doctors, many just feel defeated,” he says. “Some are very angry, just having to deal with something that’s preventable, yet many people decide the vaccine is not for them because of a lifestyle choice. But that lifestyle choice endangers those around them, including hospital staff and their doctors. It just doesn’t seem socially responsible.”

Shen says the Delta variant is proving harder to treat than past iterations of COVID-19, and that patients are coming in sicker into the ICU — sicker, and younger. But it’s the breakdown of some COVID-19 patient’s trust in their providers that’s been the hardest to square, he says.

“It does feel like a slight, like I’m being dismissed,” he says.

having to deal with disease that could have been prevented. On both fronts, I feel somewhat defeated.”

Surge Plans On the morning of Aug. 30, Hassler answers the Journal’s phone call for a scheduled follow up interview but says she can’t talk — she has to orient a new nurse who just arrived at the hospital. When she calls back a short time later, Hassler says the state is sending a team of nurses to work in St. Joseph’s ICU the following day — but she won’t say how many. She’s used to these things falling through and doesn’t want to count chickens — or even hope for chickens — until they’ve hatched.

And while there was a brief time when Hassler says she hoped the state team might give her nurses a reprieve — maybe some time off to de-stress and recharge — the continuing rise in hospitalizations will likely make that impossible.

“I think it’s still going to be all-hands-ondeck,” she says, adding that the reverberations of the current caseloads are felt throughout the system. The burnout, she says, extends beyond doctors and nurses to respiratory therapists, the environmental services team, radiology, lab workers, biomed technicians and even the hospital’s supply department, which has to make sure providers have everything they need to care for patients, from PPE to oxygen. “It’s a tremendous lift from the entire care team.”

And, Shen and Hassler say, there’s a growing fear things will only get worse before they get better.

Hassler says St. Joseph — which has a plan to surge to as many as 80 COVID beds — is constantly looking at how it will care for the next wave of patients. The hospital has a lot of ventilators and a lot of resources it has yet to use, she says.

“Each day, we’re just waiting to see if we need to expand our ICU or even put two

patients in one room, and that’s terrifying,” she says.

Officials have repeatedly said beds and ventilators won’t be the limiting factor in the local healthcare system’s ability to provide care amid a COVID surge, but the number of trained professionals that can be tapped to staff those beds will be.

When systems have been pushed to the brink elsewhere, it’s led to devastating impacts, with healthcare workers in Los Angeles and New York forced to triage care, deciding which patients should be prioritized for limited supplies and staff.

In some places, those decisions have had profound impacts on caregivers’ mental health, leading to suicides. Hassler says she’s grateful a plan is in place at St. Joseph to form an independent panel that will take those decisions out of the hands of bedside providers, should they become necessary.

“It’s just frightening to think that it looks like it is possible, that we could get there,” she says. “That’s alarming. That’s extremely alarming when there is a free and available preventative measure.”

The bottom line, Hassler says, is caregivers are exhausted, burnt out and scared the worst is yet to come, as new COVID-19 patients continue to show up daily.

“They’re just — they’re breaking,” she says, adding that she hopes the community will step up to care for its caregivers by masking, practicing social distancing and hand washing, avoiding gatherings and, most of all, getting vaccinated.

“We just need everybody to do their part,” she says. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

ust when we thought it was safe to go into other gardens … well, they are outdoors and as long as you keep your distance, going into gardens is still a great activity to keep the mind from wandering toward more unpleasant thoughts.

Perhaps you’ve been on your daily walk or drive, and you’ve admired the neighbor’s flowers, or those at that place on A Street over by Trinity Street. But if you don’t have a lot of money, you might wonder how you, too, can get a beautiful flower garden. Well, this is the time to plan ahead. Saving seeds from the spent blooms of “cutting gardens” can be quite easy.

No, don’t steal seeds from your neighbor’s garden or any other yard you happen upon. Gardeners tend to be a sharing bunch and are usually happy to oblige as long as you ask politely for a cutting, some seeds or seedpods, so long as you’re not taking an entire plant.

This time of the year, flowers blooming at my place and my clients’ include ornamental poppies (some are known as breadseed poppies), calendula, love-in-amist (Nigella), bachelor’s buttons, asters, Shasta daisies, sweet peas, Sweet William, sunflowers, toadflax (Linaria), carnations (Dianthus), dahlias, cosmos and many more.

Many people cut off the spent blooms (also known as deadheading) so the plant will continue to bloom. This is especially true of sweet peas, dahlias and other summer bloomers. Keep cutting those flowers and the plants will put out even more. But don’t cut them all off. Save a couple so they can dry out and produce some seeds.

Calendula is a lovely flower that comes in multiple colors, mostly oranges and yellows, and it will self-sow — heartily. It’s a nice plant to grow in a bare spot because

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Kings Make a Strong Showing on The Klamath

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

E

arly last week we were waiting patiently for the fall run of king salmon to begin their migration upriver. Well, the waiting is over. The water temperatures cooled a couple degrees and the schools of ocean-fresh kings moved their way into the lower river. In fact, so many fish came through the mouth beginning last Tuesday that the spit area quota was filled in only a few days. And the fishing was phenomenal further upriver as well all through the weekend. There were plenty of jacks to be had and some nice adults as well. All of the fish are dime-bright and moving through the river quickly. “As of Tuesday morning, very preliminary estimates indicate only 32 adults have been added to the quota since last week’s count leaving well over half of the 611 fish quota left for harvest,” said Dan Troxel, an environmental scientist on the Klamath River Project. “No expansion estimates have been factored in at this point.

Unless the adult catch-rate really takes off, we should be open to keeping adult salmon through the holiday weekend.”

As a reminder, the spit area, within 100 yards of the channel through the sand spit formed at the Klamath River mouth, is closed to fishing the remainder of the year. Fishing is open from the estuary upriver to the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec. Once the quota have is met, no Chinook salmon greater than 23 inches in length may be retained (anglers may still retain a limit of Chinook salmon under 23 inches in length).

Anglers may keep track of the Klamath and Trinity river quotas by calling (800) 5646479. For Klamath and Trinity fishing regulations, visit www.nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler. ashx?DocumentID=169262&inline

Trinity River water release

Beginning Thursday, Sept. 2, the Bureau of Reclamation will begin to increase flows to the Trinity River for the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s Ceremonial Boat Dance. Releases will begin to increase above the base summer flow of 450 cubic feet per second at 10 a.m. on Sept.

2, and reach a peak flow of 2,650 cfs between 12 a.m. and noon on Sept. 4. The releases will then gradually decrease back to the base summer flow, reaching 450 cfs at approximately 11 p.m. on Sept. 10. Colder water temperatures and increased turbidity levels are to be expected.

ON THE TABLE

History of a Nacatamal Alba Lopez’s Nicaraguan food stand

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

O

rder a nacatamal from the Nicaraguan Food stall at the Henderson Center Farmers Market on a Thursday and owner Alba Lopez will present you with a fat rectangle wrapped in dark banana leaf, trussed with colored ribbon.

Warm and heavy in your hands is the Nicaraguan iteration of stuffed and steamed masa, moister than in its Mexican counterpart and the leaves imparting a smokier, more tea-like flavor than corn husks. Inside are slices of potato along with hunks of seasoned pork or chicken, or mushrooms and chiles for the vegan nacatamal.

Lopez recalls learning to make them from her grandmother Carmen in Nicaragua. She recalls her grandmother saying, “‘It’s good, watch me make nacatamales because one day you might need it for a living.’ You never know what you’ll need to survive.”

That survival skill has turned into a business for Lopez, who sells nacatamales, tamales, stuffed and grilled corn meal pupusas and gallo pinto — the rice and beans ubiquitous at Nicaraguan meals — at farmers markets in Arcata, Eureka and Fortuna each week. Her daughter and son help with the business, but the food is all Alba, and it carries the markers of her home country’s culture and history, as well as her own invention and adaptation.

“The story of Nicaragua has been the story of the war,” says Lopez, who describes her life there as “happy” before the tumult of the Sandinista National Liberation Front’s overthrow of the Samoza dictatorship in 1978 and the subsequent Contra War in the 1980s, in which the U.S. and Soviet Union backed opposite sides as an extension of the Cold War. “It’s a game that nobody is the winner,” she says.

Like many Nicaraguans, Lopez’s family faced hardship and food scarcity. At the market, Lopez says, “I used to get milk and bread for my kids and nothing for myself. … I remember when we can find eggs, all

20

the adult people in the house said, ‘Eggs are for kids,’ and everyone respect that.”

Once, years later in the U.S., her brotherin-law was urging her to eat a little more.

When she demurred, he confessed he used to sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat a couple eggs. His guilt, he told her, made him want to give her more food now that they had it.

“In my culture in Nicaragua, we don’t waste food. If someone invite me and give me a plate of food, I have to eat everything,” says Lopez. A few times, she says, she gave food to a homeless guy who came to her stall and said he was hungry, “because I can’t say no.”

Lopez’s grandmother was the first to seek political asylum in the U.S. in 1979, after losing two children. “She came with a broken heart,” says Lopez. Her grandmother immigrated to San Francisco and eventually moved to San Jose, where she died two years ago at the age of 98.

In the late 1980s, Lopez, then in her 20s, joined her in San Jose before moving to Humboldt, where her daughter attended Humboldt State University. That was 15 years ago. “I feel good, I feel happy here.

This is my town,” Lopez says. “I declare that I want to be part of this town.”

Lopez started working in restaurants and in 2010, started a nacatamale stand at G and 15th streets in Arcata, before selling wholesale to Murphy’s Market and Eureka Natural Foods. With advice and encouragement from friends at the farmers markets, she started selling at the North Coast Growers Association markets where she could get a space. Since 2018, she’s been selling direct to customers instead of through grocery stores.

The items on the white board menu reflect the history and cultures of Nicaragua, from its Indigenous roots to its Spanish colonial influence, as well as the Afro-Caribbean flavors from the Atlantic side of the country. Lopez’s own family history straddles the country and its regional cui-

sines, as her great-grandfather Chano was Black and from the Atlantic/Caribbean coast. Since his name was Moreira and it was customary for enslaved people to go by the slave owner’s name, Lopez says her family figures their ancestors were abducted into the Portuguese slave trade in the Caribbean. Her great-grandmother Martina fell in love with this “handsome guy” and moved to the Pacific Coast, where they set up a coffee farm.

Nacatamales, Lopez says, are “an ancient food” from Indigenous people who used banana leaves as a natural preservative and seasoned pork and corn masa with mint, garlic and onion. From the Caribbean coast, she says, come dishes with lots of coconut milk and spices, like her grandmother’s banana bread, made with malanga root, burnt sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. With no eggs or butter, all its richness is derived from the coconut milk.

“You eat that bread with hot chocolate or rice milk as a child in my country,” she says.

It’s an item she hasn’t sold at her stand for a while, but it could make a comeback and can be special ordered, along with yuca, malanga and other specialties. (The regular menu can be found at www.nicarauganfoods.com.)

The pupusas — balls of masa that are hand rolled, stuffed and flattened before pan frying — are a traditional food from El Salvador. But war drove Salvadoran refugees to Nicaragua in the 1980s. Lopez learned by watching them making pupusas in the market there and developed her own recipe. “I integrated more ingredients and the flour of the nacatamale is in the pupusa,” she says, along with Nicaraguan

flavors like the turmeric — “a magic food for special flavor” — that give the masa its golden color. Similar to the Salvadoran cortido with which pupusas are often served, Nicaraguan ensalada, a tart cabbage slaw with onions, carrots, lemon juice and a little spice, comes on the side, along with a thin, bright salsa. Lopez says much like gallo pinto, it goes with everything at every meal.

For now, Lopez does her prep at El Pueblo Market’s commercial kitchen but she’s working on renovating a certified kitchen of her own, hopefully by next year. She hopes the space will allow her “to cook and to create whenever I want,” as well as sell to-go orders throughout the week. Getting ready for a Saturday crowd at the Arcata Farmers market can mean starting at 3 a.m. to crank out some 50 pupusas, stew chicken and make tamales and nacatamales, which take about four hours.

Lopez laughs and says she used to tell her mother, “You cook good but never like my grandma.” Now her granddaughter says the same to Lopez’s daughter. That, she says, is the way it is with a grandmother’s cooking. And her customers seem to agree.

“I feel super satisfied when people come back and say, ‘Thanks for cooking — that’s good food.’ More than money,” Lopez says. “I feel good, I feel special.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

The Forest for the Happy Little Trees Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed

By Kristin Kirby

screens@northcoastjournal.com

“B

ob Ross, 52, Dies; Was Painter on TV.” That was the caption in the July 13, 1995 New York Times obituary section. No headline, no picture. Just a

blurb.

Yes, that Bob Ross. The white guy with the Afro and the soft voice who painted landscapes inconceivably quickly and beautifully for the PBS show The Joy of Painting, and who has since become a pop culture fascination. How did he do it? Who was he, exactly? And what happened to him?

Such questions are the subject of the documentary, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed, produced by Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone.

During the early pandemic days they were casting about for a project and thought of making a biopic about Ross, whom they greatly admire (they even have a toaster that burns Bob’s likeness into a piece of bread). But when the pair began researching Ross, they were surprised to find intriguingly little information about him and shifted to a documentary, partnering with filmmakers Joshua Rofé and Steven Berger, who started investigating. That investigation led to a lot of closed doors: More than a dozen people who were close to Ross declined to talk to the filmmakers for fear of retaliation. Even the filmmakers themselves were warned not to go too far.

The story told in Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed is a sad and confounding one, full of sympathetic characters, including Kathwren and Gary Jenkins, two of Ross’ cohorts in the painting world who were affected by the same forces he was. It’s also an incomplete picture of Ross himself, who, like all of us, contained contradictions in spades.

But it’s possibly Bob’s son Steve Ross who stands out the most. Awestruck by his father’s paintings, Steve followed in his footsteps and has lived his life as an artist and teacher, even appearing on the show from time to time. This story is as much Steve’s as it is Bob’s, and he’s had to live with some hard realities since the death of his father.

Ross had an unusual technique of painting landscapes from memory. Many of those scenes were of Alaska, where he was stationed during his military stint. His first paintings were on old metal gold miners’ pans he’d paint with his wife, Vicky, sometimes staying up into the wee hours to complete projects before having to go to work the next day.

One day he saw a video by William Alexander, who had a show on TV where he painted landscapes quickly using a wet-on-wet technique. He couldn’t believe anyone could paint so quickly but, after studying with Alexander for about a year, Ross developed his own technique, whittling his time per painting down to a mere 30 minutes. To contrast with Alexander’s brash, high-pitched voice, he took on a calm and quiet persona. He began touring the country, teaching classes alongside Alexander and selling painting supplies on the side.

So how did Ross transform himself into the soothing icon who painted landscapes on public television? Annette Kowalski, already an accomplished painter, took a class from Ross and became enamored. She and husband Walter, a retired CIA operative, formed a partnership with Ross. He would be the talent and they would be the people

My trying to stay positive amid the collapse of society. Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed

who think up ways to collect money.

But money wasn’t the only driver that changed things; even the hobbyist art scene had its scandals. As Gary Jenkins noted about that time period, “Everybody was sleeping with everybody else.”

According to Steve, the Bob you see on TV is a pretty accurate portrayal of the man himself: a kind soul who loved nature and animals. He was an artist but he was also a man with business savvy.

The money he made from the venture enabled him to pursue other interests, like rehabilitating wild animals, starting a children’s TV show, and riding around in his 1969 Corvette. But, as the documentary illuminates, things were beginning to fall apart around him.

The Joy of Painting aired on PBS for 31 seasons, spanning 11 years, from 19831994. Bob Ross: Happy Accidents paints an intriguing story of human failings as much as it shows the ways in which Ross’ legacy still lives on. Ross is beloved; kitsch aside, he genuinely cared for people and helped thousands discover passions and abilities they didn’t know they had within themselves. He believed talent was merely a pursued interest and that anybody could paint. This was a view he expressed consistently on television and in person. He often said, “We don’t make mistakes. We have happy accidents.” TV14. 92M. NETFLIX. ● Kristin Kirby (she/her) is a freelance journalist living in Arcata.

Ringed by trees, a giant catchment pond reflects the magnificent June sky at Schackow Farm in Humboldt County. A crescent moon sinking in the west illuminates the far hills across the Eel River Valley. The galactic core will sink beneath the horizon a little each night through the fall until it is no longer visible in our night sky, to return after the spring.

Milky Way Stargazing Season

By David Wilson

ncnightlights@northcoastjournal.com

S

targazing season is upon us, when the spectacular Milky Way is visible immediately after dark, soaring from horizon to horizon. Of course, one can watch the stars on any clear night and feel the immensity of space around us, but during the summer months, the Milky Way will make it worth the extra waiting for darkness to fall. At this time of year, the most dramatic portion of that misty belt is visible above the southern horizon.

The Milky Way is the name of both our galaxy and the band of lighter milkiness we see stretching across the night sky. It is lighter than the rest of the night sky because when we look toward it, we are looking through our pinwheel-shaped galaxy edge-on, right through the densest number of stars, glowing nebulae, etc.

In our edge-on view, all of this blends together into indistinct milkiness in the vast interstellar distances involved. The Galactic Core is the center of the galaxy and it is that densest region, the part with the greatest visible detail from Earth, that can be seen low on the southern horizon after dark at this time of year.

To look to either side of the Milky Way’s band is to look above and below the plane of our flattened spiral galaxy, out where the stars are fewer and less closely packed. If your mind is boggled, don’t worry; it keeps it from being blown. You’re extremely tiny in all this, not really important at all, helplessly adrift in outer space.

We begin to lose the best of this incredible galactic feature as fall progresses and the Milky Way’s core sinks beneath the horizon. We won’t see it back in the sky again until February, when you can only see it in the very wee hours of the morning. Now it’s available before bedtime.

When you go out: Give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness. Avoid using bright lights. After 20 minutes or so, your eyes will be fully adjusted to the dark, and you may be amazed at how much you can see both on the ground and in the heavens.

Bring warm, comfortable clothing, water and a camp chair or lawn chair.

Bring a headlamp or flashlight with red light ability. A normal flashlight’s harsh light will destroy your night vision and that of anyone around you.

Looking at your phone will set your night vision back for minutes. Avoid it if you can. Sometimes I refer to my phone’s stopwatch to help me time a really long exposure and for this purpose I turn its brightness way down.

May you enjoy many hours of night sky viewing. l To keep abreast of David Wilson’s (he/ him) latest photography or purchase a print, visit www.mindscapefx.com or follow him on Instagram at @ david_wilson_mfx and on Twitter @ davidwilson_mfx.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

9 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Anna Kamienska wrote, “I’ve learned to value failed conversations, missed connections, confusions. What remains is what’s unsaid, what’s underneath.

Understanding on another level of being.” In the coming weeks, I suggest you adopt her perspective as you evaluate both past and present experiences. You’re likely to find small treasures in what you’d assumed were wastelands. You may uncover inspiring clues in plot twists that initially frustrated you. Upon further examination, interludes you dismissed as unimportant or uninteresting could reveal valuable wrinkles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): After studying your astrological omens, I’ve decided to offer you inspiration from the ancient Roman poet Catullus. I hope the extravagant spirit of his words will free you to be greedy for the delights of love and affection. Catullus wrote, “Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred; then another thousand, then a second hundred; then yet another thousand.” I’ll add the following to Catullus’s appeal: Seek an abundance of endearing words, sweet favors and gifts, caresses and massages, help with your work, and fabulous orgasms. If there’s no one in your life to provide you with such blessings, give them to yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Elif Batuman writes that the Old Uzbek language was rich in expressions about crying. There were “words for wanting to cry and not being able to, for loudly crying like thunder in the clouds, for crying in gasps, for weeping inwardly or secretly, for crying ceaselessly in a high voice, for crying in hiccups, and for crying while uttering the sound ‘hay hay.’” I recommend all of these to you in the coming days, as well as others you might dream up. Why? It’s prime time to seek the invigorating release and renewal that come from shedding tears generated by deep and mysterious feelings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A blogger named MythWoven imagines an “alternate universe where I literally go to school forever (for free) so I can learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.” I have longings like hers. There’s an eternal student within me that wants to be endlessly surprised with exciting information about interesting subjects. I would love to be continually adding fresh skills and aptitudes to my repertoire. In the coming weeks, I will give free rein to that part of me. I recommend you do the same, my fellow Cancerian.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 2016, the International Garden Photograph of the Year depicted lush lupine flowers in New Zealand.

The sea of tall purple, pink, and blue blooms was praised as “an elegant symphony” and “a joy to behold.” What the judges didn’t mention is that lupine is an invasive species in New Zealand. It forces native plant species out of their habitat, which in turn drives away native animal species, including birds like the wrybill, black stilt, and banded dotterel. Is there a metaphorically comparable phenomenon in your life, Leo? Problematic beauty? Some influence that’s both attractive and prickly? A wonderful thing that can also be troublesome? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to try to heal the predicament.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I often wonder who I am and where is my country and where do I belong and why was I ever born at all,” wrote Virgo author Jean Rhys (1890–1979). I don’t think you will be agitated by those questions during the next eight weeks, Virgo. In fact, I suspect you will feel as secure in your identity as you have in a long time. You will enjoy prolonged clarity about your role in the world, the nature of your desires, and how you should plan your life for the next two years. If for some inexplicable reason you’re not already enjoying these developments, stop what you’re doing and meditate on the probability that I am telling you the bold truth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Several states in the US have statutes prohibiting blasphemy. Saying “God damn it” could theoretically get you fined in Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Wyoming.

In the coming days, it’s best to proceed carefully in places like those, since you’ve been authorized by cosmic forces to curse more often and more forcefully than usual. Why? Because you need to summon vivid and intense protests in the face of influences that may be inhibiting and infringing on your soul’s style. You have a poetic license to rebel against conventions that oppress you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Everyone dreams at least three dreams per night. In a year, your subconscious mind generates over 1,100 dreams. About this remarkable fact, novelist Mila Kundera writes, “Dreaming is not merely an act of coded communication. It is also an aesthetic activity, a game that is a value in itself. To dream about things that have not happened is among humanity’s deepest needs.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because September is Honor Your Dreams Month. To celebrate, I suggest the following experiments. 1. Every night before sleep, write down a question you’d like your dreams to respond to. 2. Keep a notebook by your bed and transcribe at least one dream each time you sleep. 3. In the morning, have fun imagining what the previous night’s dreams might be trying to communicate to you. 4. Say prayers of gratitude to your dreams, thanking them for their provocative, entertaining stories.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In her autobiography Changing, Sagittarian actor Liv Ullmann expresses grief about how she and a loved one failed to communicate essential truths to each other. I propose we regard her as your anti-role model for the rest of 2021. Use her error as your inspiration. Make emotionally intelligent efforts to talk about unsaid things that linger like ghostly puzzles between you and those you care about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I could do with a bit more excess,” writes author Joanne Harris. “From now on I’m going to be immoderate—and volatile,” she vows. “I shall enjoy loud music and lurid poetry. I shall be rampant.” Let me be clear, Capricorn: I’m not urging you to be immoderate, volatile, excessive, and rampant every day for the rest of your long life.

But I think you will generate health benefits and good fortune if you experiment with that approach in the coming weeks.

Can you think of relatively sane, sensible ways to give yourself this salubrious luxury?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While wading through the internet’s wilder terrain, I found a provocative quote alleged to have been uttered by the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.

He supposedly said, “My ultimate goal is to look totally hot, but not be unapproachable.” I confess that in the past I have sometimes been fooled by fake quotes, and I suspect this is one. Still, it’s amusing to entertain the possibility that such an august personage as Socrates, a major influencer of Western culture, might say something so cute and colloquial. Even if he didn’t actually say it, I like the idea of blending ancient wisdom with modern insights, seriousness with silliness, thoughtful analysis with good fun. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend you experiment with comparable hybrids in the coming weeks. (PS: One of your goals should be to look totally hot, but not be unapproachable.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you don’t know what you want,” writes Piscean novelist Chuck Palahniuk, “you end up with a lot you don’t.” Very true! And right now, it’s extra important to keep that in mind. During the coming weeks, you’ll be at the peak of your ability to attract what you want and need. Wouldn’t you prefer to gather influences you really desire—as opposed to those for which you have mild or zero interest? Define your wants and needs very precisely. l

CRUZ’N THROUGH OLD TOWN

Special Pull-Out Section

Welcome to Cruz’n Eureka!

SINCE 1993 Cruz’n Eureka has become an iconic annual event for the car community here on the North Coast. The last 26 shows raising over $200,000 to support local youth. With local community support, we hope 2021 will be a record year.

History of Cruz’n Eureka: Twenty-eight years ago the vehicle cruise seen had become an issue on fourth and Fifth street. All three lanes north and south were often full of Gear Head car people. While for all practical purposes it was a huge social gathering on Friday night sometimes lasting into the early morning. We suspect Cal-Trans and the city were forced to do something. So an ordinance was created “ no more legal cruising in Eureka.”

bgcredwoods.org/cruz-n-eureka

City of Eureka policeman Lance Madsen ( a champion for Boys & Girls Club) who has since passed, and a small band of others started a car show

The corsair 671 diesel streamliner, Built at College

of the Redwoods in 1971-72 with Bob Haveman, as the diesel instructor with the students of his diesel engine repair class. The streamliner was run at Bonneville, Utah, and held many land speed records. Ultimately, it was recorded going 247 mph (in one section it was clocked at 274 mph), however to secure the record, one must run the opposite direction, in one hour in that run, the Turbo boost hose blew off and the car naturally ran slower.

The net recorded speed ended being 207 mph.

This record stood for 30+ years.

The car had an aluminum 671 that was laid on its side with a dry sump oil system. It also has four wheel drive. It was originally burgundy in color.

Leon Warmuth of Leon’s Car Care Center ( Muffler’s )

donated most of the tubing for the frame and such others included.

The Warmuth family is very proud to see the car back home.

in Henderson center. The event was to become Cruz’N Eureka. The event was made a benefit for our local Boys & Girls of the Redwoods.

This went on in Henderson center for a couple of years, but burn out was/is inevitable and at some juncture the event was handed off to Laurie Thietje-Furtado. Laurie and her group of friends made the event a fundraiser for Make a Wish.

This went on for 10-15 years.

At some point the event outgrew Henderson center so the event moved to Halverson park. Here the event grew a great cruise route through old town, and the Car Show grew too so to encompass second street from C st to G street. There was a sock hop and

Scrapper’s Edge is proud to support Cruz’n Eureka

poker run, while the sock hop was fun there was never enough participation to keep it going. Then Laurie’s Health took a dive. ( the problem with doing too much ) Laurie was aware of Dale Warmuth and Sondra Kirkley’s involvement with Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods. She asked if Dale and

Sondra were interested in taking the event back. Dale, Sondra, Tim O’brien and his wife Teresa, Jason Henderson ( who since passed ) all continued to show their interest in cars and kids welfare of the north coast.
