e begin this editorial by acknowledging two plain, undeniable truths: We are on unceded Wiyot land and, as such, Humboldt County Plan ning Commission Chair Alan Bongio must resign or be removed from his post because has revealed himself unfit to serve here. We encourage anyone doubting the first truth to double back to last week’s edition and read historian Jerry Rohde’s account of how virtually all of Humboldt County was Wiyot territory until the spring of 1850, when white people began to arrive and, within a few weeks, had burned a Wiyot village to the ground. Thus launched what would become a systemic campaign to murder and relocate Wiyot people, and steal theirThat’sland.the truth upon which modern Humboldt County is built and one we must consider when plotting the course for ward toward a more equitable future. It’s a context vital to understanding why Bongio’s conduct at the Planning Commission’s Aug. 18 and Sept. 1 meetings was wholly unac ceptable on numerous fronts. Bongio used language that was deeply offensive and betrays an ignorance of or dis regard for this region’s history. Neither is ac ceptable. In arguing that the Planning Com mission should issue permits necessary to lift a county stop work order — issued after previous permit conditions were violated — so developer Travis Schneider could resume construction of his 8,000-square-foot family home in Bayside, Bongio became indignant that local tribes were concerned proposed mitigation measures weren’t clear enough to adequately protect tribal cultural and environmental resources. He launched into several far-reaching rants about “Indians.” By lumping distinct tribes, each with their own languages, cultures, customs and histories, he dehumanized them into some monolithic other. How can someone who doesn’t care to acknowledge that local tribes have names and at times divergent interests be entrust ed to make decisions that affect them?
Perhaps more troubling, Bongio intoned these “Indians” — in this case the Wiyot Tribe and the Blue Lake Rancheria, if we’re going to speak accurately — acted in bad faith, which he implied is typical of them. He didn’t just question their findings or methods, but intoned they reneged on an agreement and were using tribal cultural resources — artifacts of a Wiyot village site identified more than a century ago — as “a game” to extract more concessions out of a developer. How can someone who has impugned the intentions and motives of this area’s original inhabitants be entrusted to take their input while leading the body most responsible for making land-use decisions over their ancestral territory?
Bongio Must Go

EDITORIAL
Finally, throughout this process, Bongio showed a deep bias for Schneider, which brings the integrity of what is supposed to be a quasi-judicial body, with the Planning Commission acting as a neutral third party tasked with objectively determining facts and drawing conclusions, into question. The examples of this are too plentiful to recount here but we’ll address a few. First, Bongio reported he’d been to the site “multiple times” and had “multiple conversations” with Schneider. Does he do this with every applicant who, after violating the terms of their permit by building their home on a footprint different from what was on approved building plans and cutting an un permitted road onto their property, among other violations, continues construction for 50 days in open defiance of a county stop work order? Bongio argued on Aug. 18 — just moments after saying he didn’t like the term “liar” but “sometimes the word fits” in reference to two local tribes — that “Mr. Schneider has done everything that’s asked of him from the front … went along with everything that was asked from him.” Really? What about those initial permit conditions? That county stop-work order? Moments later, Bongio pleaded, “Let the poor guy get back to building his house.” That doesn’t sound like a neutral arbitrator of facts. Then there was the moment during the Sept. 1 meeting when, after Bongio asked Planning Director John Ford if it would be appropriate to ask Schneider how he wanted the commission to proceed, Bongio added the explanation: “This is a gentleman I’ve worked with over the years and known.” The inference was clear: This isn’t the typical applicant, this is a “gentleman,” one of my people, not one of them. Perhaps most telling, though, was Bon gio’s handling of the most basic functions of the meeting: the agenda order. For the Aug. 18 meeting, he inexplicably moved Schnei der’s home permits ahead of a hearing on a permit amendment for Friends of the Dunes trail and habitat restoration work that has been pending for years and was then bumped to a future meeting. He then objected to Planning Director John Ford’s request at the Sept. 1 meeting that Friends of the Dunes’ matter be heard before Schneider’s was taken up yet again. After all, can’t keep the gentleman and his mansion waiting.Bongio has shown us what he is — bi ased, ignorant, offensive, incendiary and willing to treat some parties like gentlemen while calling others liars. He needs to resign immediately and, if he fails to do so, First District Supervisor Rex Bohn — whose district includes the Wiyot Tribe’s Table Bluff reservation — needs to rescind his appoint ment and remove him. After all, this is Wiyot land and he clear ly can’t be trusted to decide what’s done with it. l

Editor:Thank you NCJ, Tamara McFarland and Jerry Rohde, (“Yes, They Are Racist. Now What?” and “This is Their Land,” respec tively, Sept. 1), for acknowledging that we are all beneficiaries of historic violence and corruption, (commensurate with our individual class-status), and for suggest ing modest penance, modeling an intact conscience.Onlytruth and reconciliation commis sions have proven effective in averting human civilization’s recurring cycle of collapse at the hands of oligarchs and every community’s wannabes dominat ing societies to maintain their outdated industries, technologies and “trickle-down economics” ideology until it’s too late, (Tragedy and Hope, Georgetown Univer sity historian Carroll Quigley); recurring today with fossil fuels, healthcare, housing, education and transportation, despite mounting, self-destructive human conse quences.InGangsters of Capitalism, Jonathan Katz documents the repressed conscience of America’s infamous, hard-drinking cabal of political, military and industry elites who expanded corrupt and violent seizures of Native lands into worldwide looting, inspiring Mark Twain’s Anti-Im perialist League and desperate passage of prohibition, culminating in oligarch’s unbridled financial speculation, an interna tional depression, WWII, today’s terrorist blowback; refugees at our southern border and nuclear Resurgentbrinkmanship.fascism,(defined by Franz Fanon as, “colonialism within a traditionally colonialist society”), is inevitable follow Terry Torgerson ing 40 years of bipartisan bureaucratic violence divesting from essential public services, herding millions of abandoned youths and adults into the multi-billion dollar prison industrial complex of mass incarceration, aka, “free labor.” Whether it’s congenital, abuse of alcohol, pharmaceuticals, the dysfunc tional behavior of abuse-survivors, or the promise of inflated salaries, titles and pensions, individuals’ repressed conscience is essential to entrenched elites’ violent, corrupt and self-destructive greed. Until America’s long-overdue truth and reconciliation commission is implement ed, every community deserves and can demand sane and sober public bureaucrats by instituting pre-employment psycho logical/behavioral testing and policies requiring rehabilitation for high-function ing psychotics and alcoholics ... epidemics trivialized by their familiarity.

$54,000 down on the 16-acre purchase price of $5.4 million. Three months later, this deal came to light when the new deed was filed with the county Recorder’s Office.The old HSU regime terminated our community supported college football team and radio station. This new Cal Poly regime engages in duplicitous transactions with the greed-head owners that denies our Humboldt community affordable senior housing and cheats the city of Arca ta out of $53,000 per annum because Cal Poly is exempt from property taxes. Cal Poly’s blatant callousness is also found in the fall 2022 issue of Humboldt — the Magazine of Cal Poly Humboldt. From its introduction, written by the current president, and through its 52 pages, the only mention of our Humboldt community comes as potential shoppers at its soon-to-be retail outlet in down town Arcata. In the enduring absence of our com munity’s former football team and radio station and more recent, more drastic harms, it has to be said that at least the new regime’s renaming gets it right: Cal Poly first, our Humboldt community last. In response, I’m boycotting the Cal Poly store until the new regime shows our Humboldt community some respect.
Editor:Last night I had a dream about Arcata and HSU. It began with the building of the Behavioral Science Building. Although many in our town were very unhappy with the size and scope of this building, our protests were to no avail. When, one sum mer, all the trees lining LK Wood were cut down, and new Spanish styled architecture was installed ... not a reflection of the area here at all ... no one could object. It was state owned. When the community radio station, much beloved by our community of Humboldt, was closed, employees fired, we responded with meetings and were given no heed. When the Native American Studies Department was reduced we were given no voice. When the art galleries were closed and programs cancelled, again the community was not heard. Now, our fire departments are clearly stating they do not have the equipment nor manpower to handle HSU’s housing development.Itstimefor the state, which does finance the university’s police department, to also create a University Fire Depart ment. We cannot, as a community, as a county, continue to babysit this institu tion. It does not give a hoot about us.

‘Outcry’ Watson otherwisehis‘encouragement,’communityclaimsemailssay
In a statement sent in response to a Journal request for comment about the apparent divide between his campaign announcement and what exists in the public record, Watson conceded that “having critics is part of the job,” before saying most of his support comes outside the public eye.
After Watson struck a defiant posture at a May 17 special city council meeting called to discuss the report, at which the council voted to strip Watson of his committee assignments and limit his access to city sta , while directing sta to get a restraining order against him, calls for his resignation continued.
“Your behavior is intolerable,” wrote resident Scott Greacen. “If you do not immediately resign, I will join the vast majority of Arcata voters in recalling you from o ce.” Tom Wheeler wrote he’s always appreciated the amount of time and energy Watson commits to the city, saying it goes “far and above the expectations of the o Wheelerce.” continued, “I have understood that you did this because of your deep love and commitment to the city. … In that same spirit of service to the city of Arcata, I ask that you resign your o ce because it does not appear you can … e ectively continue as a city councilor.”
“Your behavior at last night’s special meeting of the Arcata City Council was appalling,” wrote resident Jan Bramlett. Your dissertation on your victim’s alleged complicity made my skin crawl. Is there nothing or no one that can convince you of your unfitness for this public o ce?” Resident Lisa Pelletier wrote multiple times to call on Watson to resign, then followed up sending him a link to the Lost Coast Outpost’s coverage of the May 17 meeting — a story headlined “The City of Arcata Will Have to Live with Brett Watson a Few More Months, as the Councilmember Refuses to Allow Himself to Feel Shame or Remorse.” Watson replied enthusiastically: “They posted a link to my statement! Thanks for sharing. I thought you were mad at me?” Pelletier responded only: “I am, but also sad. The headline says it all.”

In the wake of Watson’s announcement, the Journal submitted a California Public Records Act request for all emails he’s received between early May, when a third-party investigation sustained allegations that he’d sexually harassed a city employee and used his position to make undue demands for the individual’s time and attention over the course of more than two years, and his re-election announcement three months later. A review of the more than 700 emails released by the city found more than 30 calling for Watson to resign, with only four voicing support for the councilmember. One of those supportive emails came from someone Watson later reported to Arcata Police for espousing anti-Semitic, sexist rhetoric.Public commenters at Arcata City Council meetings, meanwhile, have overwhelmingly called for Watson’s resignation, with few, if any, voicing support. Even Watson’s public Facebook page seems devoid of people supporting his re-election bid, and it seems noteworthy that he limited who could comment on his re-election announcement, presumably to mute any backlash.
November, he cited “all of the encouragement from members of the community” he’s received, but that “encouragement” is all but absent from the public record.
“I believe it’s important to challenge the assumption that support for my campaign is defined by who has time to email their council member or attend a public meeting,” he wrote. “The vast majority of my supporters contact me directly by phone, text and Facebook. Also, I regularly see them in person at places like the grocery store, the plaza and the post o ce.” While it’s certainly possible there’s a silent group of community members backing his bid to stay on the council, the emails released to the Journal tell an entirely di erent story. On May 6, the Mad River Union was the first media outlet to publish a report detailing the findings of an investigation by Danville-based law firm Kramer Workplace Investigations, which came after the city council voted Oct. 20 to remove Watson as mayor and issued a no-confidence vote in his ability to continue to hold o ce, citing unspecified “alleged behaviors” that had come to light. The Kramer Workplace Investigations report that followed was damning, finding that it was “undisputed” that Watson engaged in “unprofessional and inappropriate conduct,” and “abuse of his power as a city councilmember.” Specifically, the report detailed how Watson fixated on a city employee, demanding more and more of her time and repeatedly crossing the bounds of a professional relationship, talking to her about his mental health and marriage problems, while at one point sharing that he had romantic feelings for her. For his part, Watson has denied any inappropriate behavior, claiming the employee — his subordinate — welcomed the relationship, which included scores of after-hours texts and calls, discussions of his mental health state and long hugs that made the employee feel uncomfortable. He also charged that the report and its findings are the result of a sta conspiracy and deprived him of due process. Almost immediately after news of the investigation’s findings became public, constituents began emailing, calling for Watson to step down. “Upon reading the report in the Mad River Union regarding Councilman Brett Watson, I think it is clear he needs to resign to maintain the integrity for the o ce and to acknowledge the disparity of professional conduct that has occurred to this public employee and on the dime of Arcata voters,” wrote resident Daniel Bixler.Ashort time later, someone sent Watson an email under the pseudonym “Hugo Fuckof” addressed “hey asshole,” that urged him to resign and warning if he didn’t he “might have a nasty accident.” The other emails calling for Watson’s resignation did not include threats or name calling. Some were from people who identified themselves as former supporters or current friends. Some were long and detailed, and others direct and to the point. Some urged him to do the right thing for the community, others for his own mental health and well being. But all 30 were clear about what they felt he needed to do.
One of the more bizarre series of emails begins May 19, when someone identified in the documents only as B. Ennie wrote: “Yes your fellow council members are horrible caddy [sic] bitches. Agreed. Yes, you NEED to exit stage left bro.” Ennie then referenced Watson’s DUI arrest last August and warned the councilmember is costing taxpayers money and should resign.

Ennie then followed up June 25 to say he’d emailed Watson’s fellow councilmembers — referring to them as “three bitches” — and counseling Watson: “Your [sic] not alone.” Ennie writes again July 23, applauding the combative stance Watson has taken with sta at council meetings. “Love how you are swinging your dick in those meetings and taking no shit,” Ennie wrote. “Fuck those Jewish bitches. City attorney city council bitches … all Jews.” He then urged Watson to sue the city to get the “millions you deserve” before signing o : “Women are cunts. The only thing worse than a woman is a group of them together and you being the only man. Don’t let those bitches trap you.” Six days after receiving it, Watson forwarded the email to Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn to make the department “aware of this person,” saying he should have sent it earlier but it “slipped [his] mind.”Asnoted earlier, a handful of emails do express support Watson and his e orts. On May 31, a local resident wrote to compliment him on a letter to the editor, saying it was “very good and convincing,” and urging him to pursue information about the cost of the investigation and who hired Kramer Workforce Investigations. “This should be done in a timely manner,” the resident wrote. “Both my husband and I support you.” But the overwhelming sentiment expressed in the emails mirrors that espoused during public comment at Arcata City Council meeting: calls for Watson to resign.John Webb wrote June 5, saying he’d worked on Watson’s campaign, supported his endorsement by the North Coast People’s Alliance and helped him get elected. “Because of my previous political support for you, I feel some amount of responsibility to the public for enabling your role as an Arcata City Council member and mayor,” Webb wrote. “Consequently, I must ask you to heed the outcry of those asking for your immediate resignation.” ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Travis Schneider’s family home has sat partially built under a stop work order since early this year. SUBMITTED
Apologies
Levy closed by saying to repair the damage, done, he would like to see the commission consider at its next meeting drafting a “formal apology on behalf of the whole commission.”
Public Comment
“The very definitive takeaway is that what’s being proposed doesn’t go nearly far enough,” Ford said. “They believe there needs to be restitution and fines imposed, and the conditions need to be more clear ly articulated. … They are very clear about the enforcement action also needing to be a part of the permit modification.” The planning director also made clear that if the matter wound up before Coast al Commission, the entire building plan would be up for review. After indicating he was inclined to push forward and let the cards fall where they may, Bongio asked Schneider, who was in attendance, what he wanted to do. Saying he was reluctant to “rush,” Schneider asked the commission to send the matter back to staff to try to find a Constructionsolution. of Schneider’s family home halted in February, 50 days after the county issued a stop work order after discovering various permit violations, in cluding that the home under construction was on a different footprint than indicated on approved building plans, violating set back requirements, and that he’d cleared protected environmentally sensitive hab itat and potentially disturbed a culturally significant archeological site identified a century ago as a former Wiyot village. He’d also cut a temporary construction access road on the property without a permit, and it came to light last week that he also failed to get a septic system permit, which should have been in place before con structionSchneiderbegan.then spent months working with the county and representatives from three Wiyot area tribes — the Wiyot Tribe, the Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria and the Blue Lake Rancheria — to develop the restoration and mitigation plans necessary for him to apply for permit modifications that would lift the stop work order and allow construction to resume. Schneider and county staff were optimistic they’d reached an accord after an Aug. 2 meeting, but the Wiyot Tribe, the Blue Lake Rancheria and the Coastal Commission felt many details still needed to be finalized and submitted comment letters opposing approval of the permits before the commission’s Aug. 18 meeting. Tensions quickly boiled at that meeting, with Schneider stating in a letter that Ford agreed he could continue construction activities for weeks after the stop work order was issued (a notion the planning director strongly denies) before intoning there was something nefarious about the “coordinated” comment letters and saying certain involved parties want to see “our house demolished.” His represen tative then accused the Wiyot Tribe and Blue Lake Rancheria of having lied about the Aug. 2 meeting, after which Bongio launched into one of several rants at the meeting in which he made far-reaching comments about “Indians,” accusing them of trying to extort more concessions out of Schneider, playing a “game” with cultural resources and reneging on an agreement.Tribalofficials walked away deeply offended, with Wiyot Tribal Chair Ted Hernandez saying he’d lost faith in the Planning Commission.
Third District Commissioner Noah Levy said he sent letters to both the Wiyot Tribe and Blue Lake Rancheria apologizing on two fronts. First, he said he personally apologized for having voiced frustration that the tribes did not have representa tives at the Aug. 2 meeting, which proved not to be true, as several people from the Wiyot Tribe attended virtually. Regardless, though, he said the tribes would have been “entirely appropriate and within the rights of the tribes, or any stakeholder, to submit comments in writing only.”
The apparent change of heart — or at least approach — is likely the result of Planning Director John Ford’s report during the meeting that the California Coastal Commission, which could hear an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision and even initiate the appeal itself, was not on board with staff’s recommendation that the commission approve Schneider’s permit and permit modifications with a list of mitigation measures that would clear the way for construction to resume on his 8,000-square-foot family home on Walker Point Road in Bayside. Ford said he’d talked to Coastal Commission staff in the local office, the San Francisco office and “on up the food chain.”

“So I apologize for making an issue of their absence,” he said, before turning to the second aspect of his apology. “I also wrote, though, to personally apologize for what I felt were the appallingly disrespect ful comments of Chair Bongio toward the Wiyot Tribe and the Blue Lake Rancheria at numerous times during that meeting.
“I was personally offended by the way he spoke about them and to them and by a tone of bad faith, I thought, toward them,” Levy continued. “I was upset not just by the language … or his treatment of them in particular, but by the overall biased handling of the matter that I felt infected that item from the start. … It betrayed, I felt, our role that we need to strive for to be a neutral and fair and unbiased body when these stakeholders come before us.”

FROM also First District Supervisor Rex Bohn, who appointed him to the commission, and even Schneider himself — began the Sept. 1 agenda item with a brief apology. “I’m gonna take a few seconds at the beginning of this,” he began. “We’ve all seen — some of you were here, some of you read about it in the paper — I want to apologize to the tribes if I in any way offended them.” The chair said he reached out to repre sentatives of the three involved tribes and had a “very good discussion” with the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (and fellow Planning Commissioner) Melanie McCavour.“Ireached out to the other two —Blue Lake and the Wiyot Tribe — four times and never received a call back. So, I just wanted to put that out on the record,” he said before also apologizing that he failed to acknowledge some people in the virtual audience who attempted to speak Aug. 18, saying he “never saw any of those hands come up.” Later in the meeting, other commission ers addressed Bongio’s conduct, as well.
Fifth District Supervisor Peggy O’Neill, who said she worked for the Wiyot Tribe about 30 years ago, noted that “of all the tribes in northern California … there is no tribe that’s been treated worse than the Wiyot people.” She noted that when the Wiyot people were moved to reserva tions, the entirety of their ancestral land was taken and turned into what’s now Humboldt County. As such, O’Neill said she was deeply offended when Bongio warned Aug. 18 that postponing a decision on Schneider’s property due to concerns registered by Wiyot area tribes would set a precedent in which developers would have to “go before the Indians” before building anything. Further, she said these are separate tribes, with distinct languag es, cultures and histories, so calling them “Indians” is offensive, too. She concluded her remarks offering her apologies for what she dubbed “a very dark day in our history.”
Nearly 10 people addressed the com mission during public comment, including Schneider, who struck an upbeat, optimis tic and friendly tone early in the meeting. He thanked the commission for its time and county staff for being “diligent and responsive.”

he Humboldt County Planning Commission voted unanimously Sept. 1 to send the issue of local developer Travis Schneider’s per mits back to staff in an effort to find a path forward that will be agreeable to local tribes and the California Coastal Commission.WhileSchneider and Commission Chair Alan Bongio expressed deep frustration at a meeting two weeks earlier at the prospect of further delay in moving the project forward, Schneider actually requested this delay and pushed back on Bongio’s attempts to expedite the process.
Bongio said he’d “be willing to be part of that.”
Bongio — whose comments had drawn criticism from not only tribal leaders but
“Those lots were developed to have those types of houses,” Bongio said, calling them “executive-type” lots. Ford replied flatly that if the project is appealed to the Coastal Commission, “that will be a focus of discussion.” Mitchell then raised the possibility of having staff look at the last six houses built on the road to come up with average heights and square footage, which could be used to tweak Schneider’s building plans to make it more in line with the neighborhood. (It’s worth noting again that construction of the house is well under way, with most of the structure’s framing up Bongioalready.)replied that “the train left the station” when the house was permitted. “Everything to this point that has been asked for, the applicant has readily offered to give and do,” he said. “With all the mitigations that have been approved and everything, I think we should move forward on this. … I have a hard time not moving this along, OK? We gave the extra meeting. We’ve actually added conditions … and I think it’s our job to move this thing along. We can’t control what happens beyondMitchellhere.”replied that the Coastal Com mission letter prior to the Aug. 18 meeting “was very clear” in reminding the county it has “every authority to deny this permit.” “If we keep heading down the path we’re on, that’s where we’re going to end up,” he said. “Unfortunately, attention was brought back to this project by the nonconfor mance and, unfortunately, the tenor and the amount of attention the last meeting brought up did not help,” Mitchell said, adding he felt it was now up to the Plan ning Commission to do everything it could to have a project that’s in conformance with the local coastal plan and, therefore, unassailable by the Coastal Commission.
“It’s not impacting anything that I can see,” he said, again pressing the Planning Commission to decide the matter. “In my world, time is money. … [Doing more research] is two more weeks that this project has been put on hold and is de teriorating, and we’ve got winter coming and we need to push this forward so the resolution can be made, and I think we’re on the right track.”
Bongio then asked Ford if it would be appropriate to ask Schneider what he wanted to do — referring to him as a “gentleman I’ve worked with over the years and known” — and the director said it would.Schneider said he recognizes Ford’s concerns and was “reluctant to rush something.”“Idothink there are some issues that are unresolved,” he said, adding that he wanted to see this approved “at the local level.” With that, the commission voted unani mously to send the matter back to staff, allowing it and Schneider to work with the California Coastal Commission toward a resolution that might weather the state agency’s review. Thadeus Greenson Posted 09.02.22
“One of the things you have to recog nize is that because the house has been relocated in violation of the permit … now the entire house is subject to review,” he said. “That’s just where it is.”

Then Ford reported the Coastal Com missions concerns, which quickly took center stage. “I want to be clear on process here,” Ford said, explaining that the project is in the county’s jurisdiction but can be appealed to the Coastal Commission, either by a member of the public or if two coastal commissioners decide to take it up. If that happens, the Coastal Commis sion would have far reaching discretion and could revoke Schneider’s permits en tirely, or modify them. “That’s the tension thatCommissionerexists.”
Brian Mitchell then asked what concerns the commission has that are not addressed by the mitigation measures currently proposed. In addition to the restitution issue mentioned earlier, Ford said, “They’re concerned with the size and mass of the house within a scenic location and whether or not that fits within the setting of the property.” The local coastal plan requires houses “fit within the setting,” Ford“Whocontinued.getsto make that decision?” Bongio asked. “That’s pretty subjective.”
Bongio said Walker Point Road has nu merous houses “above average” size, saying everything toward the end of the cul-desac, where Schneider’s two-parcel property sits with expansive views of the Fay Slough Wildlife Area and the bay, is in the 4,000to 6,000-square-foot range, he said.
It should have been considered when building plans were approved in 2017, Ford said. But he then quickly added that he believes one of the things that “raises or heightens” the Coastal Commission’s concern is that the house’s footprint was moved from initial plans, constructed “out closer to the edge of the slop, so it’s more prominent, more visible, closer to [sensi tive] resources.”
“We grew up together, did 4H together, buried a friend together,” he said. “The man is always looking to bring people to gether, always trying to do the right thing for the community.”

Levy then brought up a concern raised by the Blue Lake Rancheria over Schnei der’s developing this project under an alternate-owner-builder permit, which is a type of permit designed specifically for those personally building a house they are going to live in and have less strin gent oversight. If this had been a normal permit, Levy said, there would have been more oversight and inspections and “we probably wouldn’t have gotten to the point we’re at.” “Do we have the option to change the type of permit this is under?” he asked Ford. Ford responded that the alternate-own er-builder permit was intended to help people build in rural areas that are difficult to access or who were using “alternate” building methods, at which point Levy interjected that they were also intended to “promote affordable housing.” “Correct,” Ford responded with a laugh. “Let’s not forget that.” The planning director said the commis sion could opt to change Schneider’s per mit, which Levy said might be “responsive” to concerns about his lack of compliance and the county’s lack of oversight. Bongio said changing the permit would be “going down a really bad, slippery slope” and would set precedent. He then turned his attention back to the house’s size and design, saying he’s been to the site “multiple times” and can’t see how the house would “change anything.”
northcoastjournalncj_of_humboldt northcoastjournal.com/ncjdailyncjournalnewsletters northcoastjournal
“This is a situation in which Travis Schnei der broke the conditions of his legally binding permit and he’s been delayed be cause he didn’t follow the rules he agreed to at the beginning, and then ignored the county’s attempts to enforce the law.”
Ford reiterated that the Coastal Com mission has concerns.
“I just want to clarify, this is not a refer ence on what sort of community member Travis Schneider is, nor is it an issue with pros and cons on both sides necessitating a philosophical compromise,” she said.
The Coastal Commission Looms When the Planning Commission dove into the decision at hand — whether to improve Schneider’s permit and permit modifications — there seemed to be a consensus building. Staff, commissioners said, seemed to have done well modifying the conditions to incorporate concerns registered by the Wiyot Tribe, the Blue Lake Rancheria and the Coastal Commis sion in prior letters.
The conditions now made clear that tribal representatives would have to be consulted on detailed mitigation and res toration plans before approval, and nearly all conditions specified they would have to be fulfilled prior to the county’s lifting its stop work order. A measure requiring a stretch of environmentally sensitive habitat on the property be put under an easement was clarified to specify that Dishgamu Humboldt — the Wiyot tribal land trust — would hold the easement.
The last commenter — Jennifer Savage (full disclosure, Savage is a freelance con tributor to the Journal) — said she appre ciated everyone’s public participation and interest in environmental issues, but said some commenters’ focus seemed off topic.
He said he was “hopeful and optimistic” about the progress made. “Several planning commissioners have indicated to me that they have personally and proactively reached out to the stake holders and not received any negative comment, which has also been my experi ence,” he said. (It’s worth noting here that both the Wiyot Tribe and Blue Lake Rancheria seem to have withdrawn to some extent from the process after the Aug. 18 meeting. They did not respond to planning staff’s requests for a meeting or submit com ments on last night’s agenda item, and none of the commissioners disclosed having spoken to their representatives. As such, county staff incorporated sugges tions from their prior letters into pro posed mitigation measures.) “I’m glad we found common ground with staff’s conditions of approval,” Schneider continued. “I’m looking forward to moving forward … I’m proud of the fact that when I put my kids to bed this evening we will have shown them how, by working together patiently, we can navigate an adverse situation and come to a thoughtful resolution.” A couple of commenters criticized Bongio’s comments, with Ellen Taylor say ing it would be a “disgrace” for the county to approve Schneider’s permits after the chair’s behavior. But more came to speak in support of Schneider’s character, with Arcata High School teacher Troy Ghisetti saying he’s known him for 25 years and re porting he was a school leader, ASB pres ident and a great student. Chris Lehman said he’d known Schneider for 30 years.

ON THE COVER
Ildika Shetalia says before the war, life was good in Sasovo, the small village in Western Ukraine where she and Vasiya had settled to start a family. The couple had met when he was 16 and she 13, and been friends for years before they started dating and, nine years later, married.

“It’s a village of friendly people who really help one another,” she said.
Ildika also spoke glowingly of the changes that had come to all of Ukraine in recent years, especially since the 2019 election of Vladimir Zelenskyy as the country’s sixth president. She said the federal government had begun to rebuild long-neglected roads, introduced electronic passports that made it easier for Ukrainians to travel, improved medical care and schools, stopped clear cutting forests
In 2013, wanting to do their part to support development of the local school — which at that point still didn’t have indoor plumbing, relegating students to using outhouses even in the deep freeze of winter — the Shetalias signed up to host a Peace Corps volunteer, paving the way for Ryan to enter their lives.

ike many in the United States and the world, Humboldt native Ryan Knight spent much of early 2022 watching Russian forces gather on the western border with Ukraine with a sense of disbelief. But Knight knows the country far better than most, having spent a couple of years in the country — witnessing the birth of its current government in what’s known as its “Revolution of Dignity” in 2014 — first with the Peace Corps and then as a student, before working stateside with organizations dedicated to supporting and strengthening the burgeoning democracy. He knows its cities, its culture and, most importantly, its people.

While spending more than a year in a small village in Western Ukraine, Knight lived with a host family — the Shetalias — that became like extended family to him, so much so that when he returned home, he kept in touch with regular calls, making sure not to miss holidays and birthdays. And when he came back to Ukraine as a student, he’d travel to weekends with them.Knight knew enough of the instability of global politics — and the unpredictability of Russian President Vladimir Putin — that he’d taken the threat serious enough to ask his host mom Ildika Shetalia if she had a plan. Did the family have a go-bag ready? Had it withdrawn cash from the bank? But things still felt surreal, even by mid February, when Russian troops were stacked at Ukrainian border and his host father, Vasiya, who he’d grown close to drinking home-distilled vodka and talking through the world’s problems and was a reservist in the army, had been mobilized, it didn’t seem real. “We just didn’t believe it was going to happen,” he said. “It just seemed so stupid. It just seemed like the most ridiculous thing.”Then, on Feb. 23, one of Knight’s colleagues said they felt the invasion would start that night. Knight stayed up glued to Twitter, and watched the war start in real time from thousands of miles away, first with a sense of loss, then sadness, then fear.“That first video came out of the border guard in Crimea with his back turned, running,” Knight said. “The live feed that had been at the border then went dead and it was sort of then that we knew the war had started. Then, the bombing began.”Knight called Ildika at about 5 a.m. local time to see if everything was OK. “Of course everything is OK,” she answered sleepily, unaware the war had begun and that her life would never be theAssame.the following days turned to weeks and months, Ildika Shetalia watched as her “friendly” village was transformed and 80 men at the factory where she worked as an analyst supervisor and Vasiya had served as the “master of instruments,” a kind of technical millwright, went to join the war e ort. The factory itself then turned into a clearinghouse of support, taking donations to send to soldiers on the front lines, while school campuses readied to serve as bomb shelters and neighborhood groups pivoted to doing what they could to help the war e ort. By late March, Ildika Shetalia had rethought an o er long on the table from Ryan and his parents, retired longtime Humboldt County Sheri ’s O ce Lt. Steve Knight and his wife, Dianne, who works for the state: If any of the Shetalias wanted to leave Ukraine, they would do everything they could to help them get out and welcome them into the Knight family home in Eureka. Ildika wasn’t ready to leave or be apart from her young son but felt she couldn’t pass on the chance to get her 16-year-old daughter Kristina out of the country. “We started to think, ‘There needs to be something better, where her education can be normal and she can be safe,’” Ildika told the Journal recently, sitting at a Eureka co ee shop while dropping Kristina o with the Knights, speaking in Ukrainian with Ryan translating.
Families held their kids home from school and worried desperately about relatives in eastern parts of the country closer to the front lines, as the local government started planning for air raid warnings. Within weeks, she said neighborhood groups had learned to make bullet proof vests and where to procure supplies. Families, she said, donated old clothes in shades of green and brown, and the grade school where Ryan volunteered morphed into a kind of assembly line in which boys ripped the fabrics into strips that girls weaved into camouflage netting. There was hardly a piece of life the war didn’t touch, even as it was being fought on the other side of the country.
Ildika recalled the conversation: “I told her, ‘You need to think about the future and be strong. Don’t be afraid, just go and and do it. It’s like this in life.’ We have a saying, People who are afraid won’t drink champagne.”Withthat, Ildika told Ryan she wanted her daughter to come live with his parents, if they could get her there.

As Russian forces advanced, more and more families in Sasovo took in the displaced — sometimes their family members, sometime strangers — in an e ort to help. The Shetalias took in family from Keive for several months until it was safe for them to return home. And all the while, Vasiya was away, having joined the war e ort. A reservist, Vasiya had not signed a contract with the military, but he went anyway.

“It was a big shock,” she said. “Nobody expected what happened. Everyday people were not ready.” Once word of the invasion spread through the village, she said panic ensued.
Ryan Knight, gathers at the dinner table with the Shetalia family.
When Putin began saber rattling and making absurd claims about the needed “deNazification” of Ukraine in December of 2021, she said nobody thought war could be a reality — a state of denial she says continued in her village until that morning Ryan Knight called.
“Ildika was a bit upset because when the war started, he did not have to go,” Ryan Knight said. “He was not required to but he volunteered because he couldn’t just stand by.”
“He calls when he has free time,” she said. “We talk about family and things at home — that’s all.” Soon, the Ildika and Vasiya started reconsidering the Knight’s o er of place of refuge, which they hadn’t considered seriously and turned down weeks before the war began. Amid a new reality, things looked di erent in March and the family decided to accept the o er and see if they could get Kristina to the United States. At first, Kristina didn’t want to go.
Growing up in Humboldt County, Ryan Knight said he learned to have an interest in public service from an early age, through his family, his school and his church. By the time he graduated from college, he already had been bitten by the travel bug — having studied for a year in Chungdew, China, where he learned to speak Mandarin, and six months in Tanzania, where he learned Swahili — so the Peace Corps seemed a

Nothing interesting ever happens there,’” Ryan Knight said with a laugh. But he went anyway, in the fall of 2013. After several months of orientation and language school in Keive, he arrived in Sasovo in November to live with the Shetalias.Ildikasaid the family took to him immediately, though cultural di erences stood“Americansout. are very open people, Ukrainians are very closed o ,” she said with a laugh, recalling how Ryan seemingly wouldn’t stop smiling, which was weird. The first day, Ryan said Ildika walked her through town, introducing her to everyone, including the mayor. Everyone, he said, was friendly and welcoming. But his time there was cut short. In November, then president Viktor Yanukovych, under pressure from Russia, decided not to sign a political association and free trade agreement with the European Union, sparking fierce protests that built steadily and — in February — erupted into a revolution that saw Yanukovych step down and flee the country, with protesters taking over Kiev. Tracking the instability, the Peace Corps had already increased security protocols for Ryan and his cohort — first telling them couldn’t visit neighboring towns or cities, then telling them they couldn’t leave home except to go to their volunteer placements. And as the prospects of a full-blown revolution increased, the Peace Corps told them to consolidate — to leave their host families and meet in a designated location. From there, the organization pulled them out of the country.“Wewere evacuated the same day the president fled,” Ryan recalled, saying he wasn’t able to break the news to the Shetalias until he was back in the United States. He and the family had clicked and gotten very close very quickly, he said, so they kept in close touch. He worried from afar as Russia “annexed” Crimea but was reassured when the new government gained its footing. As soon as things stabilized, he knew he wanted to return. As life went on in Humboldt County, Ryan Knight said he made sure to send the Shetalia kids presents on their birthdays and call Ildika regularly. He applied for graduate school and was accepted to Georgetown University, but just as that happened he heard from the Peace Corps that they would be sending another group to Ukraine. He jumped at the chance to return to the Shetalia’s home and finish what he’d started, deferring grad school for a year. He wound up doing everything he’d envisioned doing the first time — living there for a year, teaching English and doing a variety of civic projects, from raising money for soccer nets and balls to helping organize the cleaning of a Jewish cemetery. And all the time, he sensed a change in the country with a renewed civic energy, describing it as an exciting time brimming with newfound potential. When he left, he wept.

She said she’s grateful for what the Knights have done, saying it will give her daughter a chance to get a real education and, hopefully, return to help rebuild Ukraine.

Steve Knight said everyone is getting used to the new setup, noting he and Dianne haven’t had kids in the house for more than a decade. (He said Ryan warned him not to smile too much or Kristina might find it o -putting.) But things are going well and it feels good to help, he said. He encouraged people to look at the program, saying it will help them identify Ukrainians looking to be sponsored and noting that sponsors don’t have to host the Ukrainians in their homes, they just have to pledge to support them and help them integrate into the community by finding them housing and jobs, connecting them to social services and schools. “People should look at it,” said Steve Knight, who will be speaking at a local informational meeting on the program Sept. 17 at 10 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Eureka (819 15th St.)

t’s a genuine pleasure holding a paper tray of street stall food aloft as you weave through Old Town’s blocked off streets during the Friday Night Market, the singer from a local band crooning along.

Nicaraguan Food (“History of a Nacatamal,” Sept. 2, 2021) and Pupuseria San Miguel (“The Pupusa Hustle,” April 21) offer dueling takes on the soft, filled and grilled pupusa, while the black Los Giles taco truck looms with its objectively perfect tortas and burritos. The Oyster Lady stall is in attendance with dill and garlic buttered Pacifics off the grill, and there are Kumamotos to be had with miso or Champagne garlic butter from North Bay Shellfish. If you haven’t been able to catch them elsewhere, the ladies of Frybread Love are a worthy stop with their Indian tacos and whatever sweet specials move them that day (“Sharing the Frybread Love,” May 6, 2021). Pizza Gago’s oven is furiously turning out pies with toppings like lobster mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella, Manche go cheese and Calabrian chile oil. If you’ve just come from chopping wood or child care and are truly famished, the Taste of Bim truck has a two-hander of a Caribbean chicken curry bowl that will satisfy. But there are some new and newish Cooking smashburgersup at the Food with Hoy stall during the Friday Night Market

Yang’s Kitchen Mango habanero wings, five for $10 Pork eggrolls, five for $12 Wings and eggrolls go together like wings and eggrolls. I refuse to explain that to anyone who has yet to enjoy them as a pairing. Yang’s are fried well, like bar wings, and the sweet and spicy glaze on them gives your lips a buzz but not enough fire to end your grazing. The flaky layers of the eggroll break open with audible crunch to reveal the classic pork filling.
Mom’s Delia’s Campechano huarache, $14 Through the netting, you can watch as the masa base of your platter-sized huarache is flipped on the flat-top before it’s topped with crumbly queso fresco, paper-thin grilled asada and bright orange chorizo. A sprinkling of cilantro and it’s over to you. The fresh cheese counters especially well with the chorizo, which will not go with your shirt. You should find a place to sit.
Mmmh Donuts
Cinnamon, powdered or plain mini doughnuts, 12 for $7 Here I repeat important life advice: If you have an opportunity for a hot dough nut, take it. These are light and springy, the experience heightened by watching them flip in the tiny fryer before they get the dusting of your choice. If you’re wonder ing if you can get this little setup to come to you, Mmmh Donuts does indeed cater.

Food with Hoy Smashburger, $10 The smashburger has lately taken over the burger conversation and with good reason. While it’s not as Insta gram friendly as towering behemoths dripping with cheese and toppings, the flavor is tops. These patties, pressed flat on the grill for perfect browning, topped with cheese, steamed under a cover and stacked up two to a bun, deliver taste instead of hype. l Share your tips about What’s Good with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her), arts and features editor at the Journal Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or jennifer@northcoastjournal.com.

stalls not to be missed. Pick up a beverage to keep you steady while waiting in line — Familia has your caffeine fix, the adorable Pony Keg horse trailer is on hand with beer, wine and cider, and all streets lead to the Six Rivers Brewery tent in the center of everything, also with beer, wine and cider. If you’re lucky, the folks from the long-anticipated S.I.P. may be around with boba tea and perhaps a Spam-musubi. Now you’re ready to explore some relative newcomers.
Rax on Rax Wings, three for $5 Mac and cheese, $5 Is there never enough sauce on your wings? There is now. Both the OG Bar becue and the mustard-spiked Carolina Gold Sauce wings — the specialty of the house — are downright dripping with the glossy stuff. The cheddar-heavy baked mac and cheese is less saucy but homey and satisfying.

GET OUT
The path descends and I walk along, looking at the offshore rocks and trying to imagine what a sea lion tastes like. I pass an area that juts out, where an erstwhile bench once offered a perfect perch for admiring the view. A year ago, Barry and I were so inspired after one of our walks along the loop that we wrote Save the Redwoods League, the nonprofit that handles benches within state parks, of fering to put up a memorial bench at this viewpoint. Unfortunately, we were told, “We are unable to place benches in parks anymore per Redwood State & National Parks request.” A few minutes later, I cross the bridge and head back to the Lagoon Creek Picnic Area. While the pond doesn’t offer dramatic vistas like the Yurok Loop, it’s a pleasant place. It wasn’t always, though. A signpost, now whited out, once had a de tailed description of its history, explaining that the picnic area overlooks what was the Yurok village of Omen. Later, home steaders arrived.

A couple of times a year, my husband, Barry, and I travel north in our camper van to explore Del Norte and sometimes Curry County, the southwestern corner of Oregon. We almost always linger for a while next to the ocean, just past Lagoon Creek.You can access the Yurok Loop from Lagoon Creek or from the beach. Today, I’m starting from the picnic area. Soon af ter the bridge, I have a choice of going left or right (it is a loop!) I always take the left trail, under second-growth firs and alders. Atfirst I hear the distant thrum of highway traffic, but within minutes it fades, and the only sound is my breath and an occasional twig snapping. The winding trail climbs gently until after about 15 minutes, when it reaches the junction with the Coastal Trail, and I turn left towards driftwood-strewn Hidden Beach. I glimpse the Pacific again and in about 12 minutes, I reach the trail down to Hidden Beach. Sometimes I descend to perch on rocks, clamber over logs, or hunt for agates; other times I stay high up, like today. Once I hiked the entire 4 miles of the Coastal Trail from the start of the Yurok Loop to the Klamath Overlook, where Barry was waiting with our van to pick me up. On my way back, I admire the cluster of rocks out in the ocean. They look isolated and remote, but, according to Jerry and Gisela Rohde’s Best Short Hikes in Redwood National and State Parks, they were not remote to many pre-settler Yurok, who would have visited them in their canoes. “The rocks served as a sort of neighborhood grocery store, stocked with such delicacies as seals, sea lions, and various edible plants,” they write.
A view of Hidden Beach from the trail.
In the 1940s, Crescent Plywood built a mill here, damming the mouth of the lagoon and creating storage for logs until they could be processed. The mill, which at one time employed many Yuroks, was described by locals as an “ugly, smelly place … with the tepee burner going constantly and producing a thick dark smoky haze which hung over the area.” When the mill closed in the 1950s, Del Norte County dismantled the buildings and dam and allowed the pond to evolve back into a wetland.

In their book, the Rohdes write that the pond was once a lake known to the Yuroks as O’kwego-O-Keto. Fed by a stream, the lake continued to the ocean, ending in a lagoon at the beach. The mill, built during World War II, “fouled the water with toxic chemicals, but the damage was unde tected for 50 years.” According to Leonel Arguello, head of Natural Resources Management and Science in the park, the contaminants are in the mud, and getting rid of them would require draining the whole lagoon. Still, people do fish there, and water lilies bloom. Back in our van, I watch people on the beach. A man fishes, while a mother wades in the shallows with her toddler. I squint, trying to imagine a cluster of canoes in the distance heading out to the rocks. l
o matter how many times I walk along the Yurok Loop, I never tire of it. Whether sun light dapples the forest path or the leaves glisten from mist, it makes no difference; just seeing the little wooden bridge at the start of the trail makes my heart leap. The Yurok Loop is a 1 ¼-mile trail next to the Lagoon Creek Picnic Area, off U.S. Highway 101, just past the Trees of Mystery, 68 miles north of Eureka.

Redding resident Brittney had herself quite a day Sunday landing this nice king salmon while fishing out of Eureka.

According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the salmon season ended on a high note. “For this time of the year, the fishing was really good,” said Klassen. “Scores were about a fish a rod or better since the bite turned on last week. The tuna water is still sitting northwest of Eureka about 40 miles. Some boats fishing Saturday did really well. The water that was coming up from the south got pushed back down with the north winds. The weather doesn’t look too good the next few days, but we may get another shot on Sunday.” Shelter Cove

The salmon bite was pretty slow over the weekend reports Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “It was less than a fish per boat average,” said Mitchell. “The rock fish bite is still excellent; we’re spending most of our time at the Old Man. Lingcod are still hit or miss. We may have another shot at tuna Sunday if the weather holds.”

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com ou couldn’t ask for a better week of weather and fishing leading up to and through the holiday weekend along the North Coast. First off, the weather. While the rest of the state was sweltering and dealing with excessive heat warnings, our weather remained as coastal cool as always. And that was reflected in the number of out-of-town visitors who flocked to the coast to bask in the fog. Secondly, we had some fantastic fishing, both offshore and inland. The ocean salmon season kicked into high gear last Wednesday and ended Monday on a high note. Plenty of limits were reported by anglers fishing out of both Eureka and Trinidad ports, and the fish were a good grade. The tuna water also remained with in reach and boats making the 50-mile run from Eureka did well Friday and Saturday. Not to be outdone, the lower Klamath provided some of the best salmon fishing we’ve seen in a long time. It was so good in fact, the catch rate on Friday alone saw 13 percent of the entire lower river adult quota harvested. Cool weather and great fishing, it just doesn’t get much better.
In a press release issued Saturday, CDFW projected anglers will have met the Lower Klamath River adult fall Chinook salmon quota below the State Route 96 Bridge near Weitchpec for the 2022 sea son as of 11:59 p.m. Sept. 5. This triggers the closure of the adult Chinook salmon fishery on the main stem of the Klamath River from the State Route 96 Bridge to the mouth of the Klamath River.The fishery at the mouth of the Klam ath closed the same day, Monday, Sept. 5, and will remain closed to all fishing for the rest of the calendar year.

The salmon bite was red-hot over the weekend even with the increase in flows. The river is full of jacks and quite a few adult kings are mixed in. Fish are being caught side-drifting the riffles and dragging bait through the deeper holes. The adult quota was met Sept. 5. The daily bag limit is two Chinook less than or equal to 23 inches.

Reiser reminisces about meeting fans on book tours or shows following the airing of Mad About You. “I knew we were a hit and we were renewed, people were watching,” he says. “It felt really great.” But it wasn’t until he toured years later that he understood the show’s full impact, when fans would tell him their favorite episodes, share what they’d taken to heart or tell him how they walked down the aisle to the theme song (which he co-wrote). With stand-up, though, the feedback is immediate, instant and pure. For better or for worse.

aul Rieser started with stand-up, prior to his roles as the jaded Modell in the cult classic Diner, the era-appropriately smarmy villain Burke in Aliens, dotingly awkward husband Paul Buchanon in the series Mad About You and, most recently, Dr. Owens, the better of two evil scientists in Stranger Things. He’s also contributed to the annals of comedic memoirs with Couplehood (1994), Babyhood (1997), Familyhood (2011). Now, after 20 years of focusing on film and TV, he’s making his return to stand-up and stopping at the Van Duzer Theater on Sept. 9. “Stand up is what I love and what I started out doing. So, last night was the first night that I’ve done an actual show, a full-length show, in six months,” Resier says. “One of the things that’s been so exciting about going back into stand-up is every time, every time, it feels exactly like it did 100 years ago.” Six months ago, Reiser returned to the stage for the first time in nearly 20 years. “I love how much each night varies,” he says, “how identical it felt to when I went up when I was 18. …

It’s just as cool and fun when you come up with a moment; its just as frustrating when you miss a moment, it’s just as much anticipation.” He speaks of the adrenaline and fight-or-flight response that come over you when you step on stage, too.
Though COVID has changed some aspects of performing, particularly in front of a masked audience. “It’s totally understandable and I only recently stopped wearing a mask in public and when I’m out. But it’s not the greatest thing for comedy. A lot of times you’re not laughing, but you want to see a smile,” he remarks, smiling himself. “You know, I’ve literally had coughs and colds — not recently! — but you go on stage and you’re fine,” he says, adding with a chuckle, “Tell your audience I won’t be coughing on them.” Reiser’s show at the Van Duzer will be longer than the sets he started out with, too. “When I went back up … 10 … 11 years ago, I had maybe five minutes.” He describes talking to other performers during his return, asking them how much time they had. “An hour? That’s impossible.” He recalls looking at his joke journals, where he built five minutes into seven minutes into nine minutes and recalled how great that felt. Then he delves into the process of taking nine minutes, turning it into 12 minutes, then 20, before paring it down to 10 and moving forward — a Sisyphean task he seems to take to with joy and fascination. “Part of what I loved about the process was the methodical step-by-step building, brick-by-brick of it,” he says. “It’s so old Thisschool.”isReiser’s first trip to Humboldt County, though the name does ring a bell. “Yes! There’s Humboldt Fog, we eat the cheese. … We like cheese in our house.” Beyond that, he admits he doesn’t have much familiarity and asks politely how Arcata is pronounced. “Someone asked me, ‘How do you choose where to go?’ I say that I’m not picky. Someone calls me and says, ‘Would you like to perform?’ And I say, ‘Yes,’ and I go there. I’m very easy. I don’t play hard to get.” Lucky us. ● Henry Ellis (he/him) has been a freelancer with the Journal since 2011; he has never made a deadline.

I spent Labor Day weekend participat ing in two of the more sublime and less evil American pastimes: the yard sale and the barbecue. The former was nice — I certainly met a lot of the neighborhood and even a few readers, which is always a nice encounter out in the wild. After having spent the hectic lead-up to these events hosting a family member who was going through a minor catastro phe with her young daughter in tow, I fully expected things to not work out and was mentally foaming the runway for a crash landing, socially speaking. Thankfully, this was not the case and back-to-back days of selling my old crap, entertaining friends and family, and feeding everyone, actually worked out pretty well. As the song goes, after the days have grown short when you reach September, and the autumn weather has turned the leaves to flame, one defi nitely doesn’t have the time for the wait ing game. And with that paucity of time, married to the new chill in the evenings, comes a sense of urgency unfelt in the voluminous days of fat August. I want ed to get these things done before the evenings started bruising before seven and when the air starts carrying a similar smell to what winemakers call “the Noble Rot.”

Friday I teased this last week, and now I shall deliver. Local jazz-bos Canary and the Vamp have a pretty high-profile gig tonight at the Van Duzer Theatre at 8 p.m., opening in an unlikely pairing. Comedi an Paul Reiser is probably best known for his decades of network and prestige television gigs, most notably his ’90s NBC couplehood saga Mad About You. How ever, I’ll always remember him as the slimy corporate stooge Burke from Aliens, sent by the Weyland-Yutani Corp. to capture the titular creature (at the expense of ev eryone else aboard the spaceship Sulaco) to be used as a potentially marketable organic weapon. That flop sweat on his upper lip during his interrogation scene is the very essence of the banality of evil, brilliantly played. No matter what you know him from, this should be some sort of good fun. Tickets are $40, $35 advance, $5 Cal Poly Humboldt students.
Monday Married duo Sandi King and Joshua Taylor form the King Taylor Project, an R&B-infused rock act rolling into the Siren’s Song Tavern this evening at 8 p.m. Local opener Jesse LaMonaca will be providing support and there is an unspec ified, suggested donation to help out the musicians if you are feeling generous.
Tuesday I have mentioned Word Humboldt more than a few times in this space be fore, largely out of a desire to find some thing to do on a Tuesday and a certain amount of affection for certain people involved. This time, however, is indeed a special occasion worth mentioning for two reasons: Firstly, with new students rolling into town, I feel that it is my duty to inform them of this very fine weekly gathering, should they desire participa tion. And furthermore, this marks the fifth anniversary of the weekly open mic, so many happy returns to those involved. The where is Northtown Coffee, the when is 6 p.m., and that’s all one really needs to know.
Wednesday Speaking of new students coming to town, here’s a noon event at the quad at Cal Poly Humbo for any and all interest ed in seeing a little something. Abhi the Nomad is an Indian-born, polyglot world traveler whose hip hop stylings are in formed by the idiosyncratic aspects of his own, well, nomadic lifestyle. He is putting on this gig for free, so this is definitely one of those “worth a gander” events for the curious. l Collin Yeo (he/him) recently had a Proustian reverie because of some particularly aromatic sawdust. He is very similar to a hamster in this regard. He lives in Arcata.
Sunday Summer’s almost gone, yet again. And as we get ready to pack it up and put away the bright things and light clothing for another year, here’s a good mile marker on the way out of the season: The last of the Summer Concert Series on the Arcata Plaza is happening today at 2 p.m. The vinyl crew from Arcata Soul Party will be overseeing the swan song, so there’s good news for those of you who like to dance under the sun.

MAD GOD. Sometimes one must acknowledge that our intentions can be inchoate or subversive. For example, I didn’t exactly intend to make a double-feature of Funny Pages and Phil Tippett’s three-plusdecades-in-the-making stop-motion masterpiece Mad God, but that is what happened and it may have damaged my brain. Tippett’s name has appeared prominently in the credits of some of late-period Hollywood’s most heralded practical e ects extravaganzas. And he self-produced Mad God, a labor of — what exactly? I cannot say but I do not think it’s love. An apocalyptic descent into decrepitude and devastation, it is an undeniable masterpiece of stop-motion, but also a deeply troubling rumination on hatred, violence, birth, death — you know, all of it. Apparently, Tippett worked himself into hospitalization bringing his pustular, many-toothed vision to life. Having watched the movie, I can understand why, both in imagining the work-volume required to create and animate such a thing and in recognizing the sense of hopelessness and inner darkness from which it must have sprung. Mad God exists as an unlikely living artifact, an atavistic testament both to craft and adherence to one’s own vision, however dark, obscure or outré. It is nerd culture enlivened, writ large, dissected under a microscope and reassembled with its vital parts all out of order. I literally just watched it and I don’t think I could say what it is actually about, if called upon. Having been called upon, I’m fumbling to even explain that inability. NR. 83M. STREAMING.

In its deceptive simplicity, Funny Pages builds its own (frequently o -putting) narrative world while also examining the hierarchies of subculture and ambition, rendering the world of outsider art gadflies as art itself.
FUNNY PAGES. While I maintain that I am not a true nerd, mostly for lack of commitment, I may well be, as intoned by my wife and now oft-repeated by dear friend and colleague Grant Scott-Goforth, “a bit of a weirdo.” I am not, nor have I ever been, a true fan/student of comics or animation, but they fascinate me, as do the many subcultures of their fandom. Some of the curiosity is morbid, leading to questions of appropriation, mono-culture and the subsuming and commodification of outsider art into riskless mass media. But the grittier aspects, the discomfiting, sweaty-close darkness suggested by comic books and fringe animation, remain almost endlessly compelling. The fiefdoms of the true faithful are gate-kept by self-educated arbiters of taste whose otherness has become both their armor and their bona fides: the old school ivory tower of anti-academic nerd academia. Communities of inclusion for the traditionally excluded, these pockets of culture create their own orbits, often to the point of impenetrability.Toamindmade soft by the light and space of the West Coast (read: mine), there’s a connection between the self-constructed, boiling-or-freezing atmospheres of such spaces and the brusqueness and casual brutality of the eastern United States, particularly the less glamorous corners of New York and New Jersey. And so, it would make perfect sense that the Brothers Safdie have broadened their creative influence and e orts as co-producers of a twitchy, fascinating little movie about comic book nerds scrapping it out in the cold, hard Jersey winter.
Robert (Daniel Zolghadri), an undeniably talented teenaged comics artist, is left mentorless by the sudden, terrible, nastily funny death of his teacher Mr. Katano (Stephen Adly Guirgis). His parents (Josh Pais and Maria Dizzia), while financially secure and supportive-in-their-way, love him but fear for his well-being and defensively distrust his ambition. Casting about, Robert sells some of his comic book collection for the down-payment on a deeply questionable living situation in Trenton and trades his labor for an equally shaky Nissan Sentra. Forgoing further education, he divides his time between hours at the comic book shop, a quasi-internship with a public defender and the company of his much-older, emotionally unwell roommates. From within this distinctly regional morass of snowdrifts and abrasive personalities emerges Wallace (Matthew Maher), a volatile former comics color separator being represented by the attorney who has taken Robert under her wing. Defensive but desperate for connection, Wallace awkwardly agrees to look at Robert’s work. Robert, in his self-destructive narcissism, decides Christmas Day at his parents’ house would be the best venue for this collaboration. The pressure-cooker whistles.
Funny Pages is the first feature for writer-director Owen Kline, though he acted in Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale (2005) and is the son of American cinematic royalty (Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates). While the movie has some of the rough edges and hard-to-contain nervous energy of early e orts, it is also remarkably self-assured and intentional.

Kline nurtures an aesthetic that, while seemingly of a bygone era, suggests a familiarity and dexterity with cinematic vocabulary that transcends simple throwback. The grain of the film itself here conjures the intensely claustrophobic feel of the rooms in which the story takes place, creating an atmosphere of simultaneous dread and terrible possibility that is very much in keeping with the Safdies’ work, but never derivative.

— The Oxford History of the ClassicalWorld M isogyny — hatred of or contempt for women — goes back a long way, at least as far as the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, around 700 BCE. Three hundred years later, in the Timaeus, Socrates warns men that if they live immor ally they will be reincarnated as women. Later yet, Saint Paul advised, “Let your wom en keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience.” More recently, Friedrich Nietzsche claimed that “stricter controls on women was a condition of every elevation of culture.” Think we’re beyond all that? Despite passage by both houses of Congress 50 years ago, the Equal Rights Amendment (which stated “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged … on account of sex”) still hasn’t been formally ratified. And don’t get me started on SCOTUS nullifying Roe vs. Wade: misogyny, at its purest. Hesiod, who probably lived in Boeotia in Central Greece at about the same time as Homer, was a farmer to whom the Muses gave the gift of poetry. Most authorities believe he was a real person and that he obtained his material both from early Greek rhapsodes (professional storytellers) and from Egyptian sources. He’s best known for two long poems: Works and Days, in which he lays out the “Five Ages of Man,” and Theogony, the story of how the gods were created.Before the creation of women, in He siod’s telling, men experienced a Golden Age. “They lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting … They dwelt in ease and peace.” That all ended when the Titan Prometheus gave men the gift of fire, having stolen it from the gods. In retaliation, Zeus (a) bound Prometheus to a rock where every day an eagle ate his liver, which grew back overnight, and (b) punished men by giving them “an evil thing for their delight,” i.e. women.Thefirst woman was Pandora, whom the god Hephaestus molded from clay accord ing to Zeus’ specifications. She carried a jar, in Greek pithos (not a box), having been told never to open it. Well, duh. She did, of course, (otherwise it wouldn’t be much of a story), releasing into the world all the evils inside: labor, old age, sickness, death, worry, crime, hate, envy and all the rest. She quickly put the lid back on, preventing the last evil, hope, from escaping. Why hope? The idea is that we prolong life’s torment by hoping for a better life, which is always beyond our reach. Pandora was only the start of troubles for the bros. From Pandora, according to Hesiod, emerged “the race of women and female kind: of her is the deadly race and tribe of women who live amongst mortal men to their great trouble.” The grumpy old poet did allow that on a rare occasion a man can find a good wife but he couldn’t stop himself, adding, “evil contends with good.”
Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) would still buy Hesiod a cup of coffee and a scone, since he reminds him of guys he has known.

Hesiod: Farmer, Poet, Misogynist

“[Hesiod’s] personality behind the poems is unsuited to the kind of ‘aristocratic withdrawal’ typical of a rhapsode but is instead argumentative, suspicious, ironically humorous, frugal, fond of proverbs, wary of women.”
So much for the Golden Age. Hesiod then told of the Silver Age, when people lived most of their lives as children (and when males were dominated by their mothers); followed by a Bronze Age, during which men were tough and war was their passion — they eventually destroyed each other; then an Age of Heroes, correspond ing to the Mycenaean age when men fought and died at Troy (because of, yup, a woman named Helen, the fairest of all). And finally, he described the Iron Age, the gloomy age in which Hesiod lived: “Hateful strife bore painful Toil, Neglect, Starvation, and tearful Pain, Battles, Combats.” That was 2,700 years ago. Of course, things are much better now. l

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries-born Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was one of the greatest basketball players ever. He excelled at most aspects of the game. Some experts say his rebounding was only average for a player his size—seven feet, two inches. But he is still the third-best rebounder in National Basketball Association history. And he played for 20 years, until age 40. What tips might Abdul-Jabbar have for you now? Here’s a suggestion from him that aligns with your current astrological omens: “Work on those parts of your game that are fundamen tally weak.” The implication is that you have a lot of strengths, and now it’s time to raise up the rest of your skill set.
3. Practice, practice, practice the art of moderation. Do so with the intention of using it as a flexible skill rather than an unthinking habit. 4. Applying the Goldilocks principle will be essential. Everything must be just right: neither too much nor too little; neither overly grand nor overly modest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To love oneself is hard work,” declares Virgo author Hanif Abdurraqib. He adds, “But I think it becomes harder when you realize that you’re actually required to love multiple versions of yourself that show up without warning throughout a day, throughout a week, throughout a month, throughout a life.” Let’s make that your inspirational strategy, Virgo. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to refine, deepen, and invigorate your love for all your selves. It may be hard work, but I bet it will also be fun and exhilarating.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dream up creative solutions to problems that haven’t fully materialized yet. Then you can apply your discoveries as you address problems that already exist. In other words, dear Aquarius, I’m telling you that your uncanny facility for glimpsing the future can be useful in enhancing your life in the present. Your almost psychic capacity to foretell the coming trends will be instrumental as you fix glitches in the here and now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I have always felt you Capricorns are wise to commune with rocks, dirt, mud, sand, and clay. I think you should regularly touch the actual earth with your hands and bare feet. If I’m out hiking with a Capricorn friend, I might urge them to sniff blooming mushrooms and lean down to kiss the exposed roots of trees. Direct encounters with natural wonders are like magic potions and miracle med icine for you. Moreover, you flourish when you nurture close personal relationships with anything that might be described as foundational. This is always true, but will be extra true for you in the coming weeks. Your words of power are kernel, core, gist, marrow, and keystone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As a Taurus, you are always wise to be reverent toward your five senses. They are your glorious treasures, your marvelous superpowers, your sublime assets. In the coming weeks, they will serve you even better than usual. As you deploy them with all your amazement and appreciation unfurled, they will boost your intelligence. They will heighten your intuition in ways that guide you to good decisions. You will tune into interesting truths that had previously been hidden from you. I suspect your sensory apparatus will be so sharp and clear that it will work almost as extrasensory powers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How to be the best Libra you can be in the next three weeks: 1. Make sure your cool attention to detail never gets chilly. Warm it up now and then. Invite your heart to add its counsel to your head’s observations. Tenderize your objectivity. 2. Always be willing to be puzzled. Always be entertained and educated by your puzzlement. Proceed on the theory that nothing ever changes unless somebody is puzzled.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Jean Frémon says Cancerian naturalist Henry David Thoreau “always had two notebooks— one for facts, and the other for poetry. But Thoreau had a hard time keeping them apart, as he often found facts more poetic than his poems.” Judging from your current astrological omens, Cancerian, I suspect you are entering a time when facts will be even more poetic than usual. If you open yourself to the magic of reality, the mundane details of everyday life will delight you and appeal to your sense of wonder. Routine events will veer toward the marvelous. Can you bear to experience so much lyrical grace? I think so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are blessings in every abyss. You, of all the signs in the zodiac, have the greatest capacity to find those blessings and make them yours. Likewise, there is an abyss in each blessing. You, of all the signs, have the most power to make sure your experiences in the abyss don’t detract from but enhance the blessing. In the coming weeks, dear Scorpio, take maximum advantage of these superpowers of yours. Be a master of zeroing in on the opportunities seeded in the dilemmas. Show everyone how to home in on and enjoy the delights in the darkness. Be an inspirational role model as you extract redemption from the messes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming weeks, logic may be of only partial use to you. Information acquired through your senses might prove less than fully adequate, as well. On the other hand, your talents for feeling deeply and tapping into your intuition can provide you with highly accurate intelligence.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my favorite Sagittar ians is practical mystic Caroline Myss, who was born with sun and Mercury and ascendant in Sagittarius. In accordance with current astrological omens, I’ve gathered six of her quotes to serve your current needs. 1. There isn’t anything in your life that cannot be changed. 2. When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful. 3. Healing comes from gathering wisdom from past actions and letting go of the pain that the education cost you. 4. The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. 5. What serves your spirit enhances your body. What diminishes your spirit diminishes your body. 6. What is in you is stronger than what is out there to defeat you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When you Geminis are at your best, you don’t merely tolerate dualities. You enjoy and embrace them. You work with them eagerly. While many non-Geminis regard oppositions and paradoxes as at best inconvenient and at worst obstructive, you often find how the apparent polarities are woven together and complementary. That’s why so many of you are connoisseurs of love that’s both tough and tender. You can be effective in seemingly contradictory situations that confuse and immobilize others. All these skills of yours should come in handy during the coming weeks. Use them to the hilt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “What good is it if you read Plato but never clean your toilet?” writes author Alice Munro. To which I add, “What good is it if you have brilliant breakthroughs and intriguing insights but never translate them into practical changes in your daily rhythm?” I’m not saying you are guilty of these sins, Leo. But I want to ensure that you won’t be guilty of these sins in the coming weeks. It’s crucial to your long-term future that you devote quality time to being earthy and grounded and pragmatic. Be as effective as you are smart.
