Americans Defending Dictators

Editor:

Throughout the past 100 years, there have always been Americans who offered excuses and/or support for murderous dictators (Mailbox, Sept. 22). Tens of thousands of Americans were enamored with Joseph Stalin’s “communist utopia” before they discovered that his actions led to the deaths of millions of his fellow Russians via murder, death camps and starvation. To be fair, it was not easy — and perhaps not possible — for Americans to know about events in Russia in those years. Only when Stalin signed his non-aggression pact with Hitler in 1939 did the utopian bubble burst.

American fans of Adolf Hitler could not claim a similar ignorance. By the time 20,000 delirious Americans rallied in Madison Square Garden in support of Hitler and Nazism on Feb. 20, 1939, Hitler’s oppression of German, Austrian and Czech Jews had been reported in detail in the United States, as the recent PBS doc “The U.S. and the Holocaust” explains. Front page on U.S. newspapers. Ev eryone knew. The American Nazis cheered.

Chairman Mao’s leadership resulted in the death of 45 million human beings — or perhaps 65 million. Yet as late as 1972, when Richard Nixon traveled to China to meet with Mao, some Americans still argued that Mao Zedong was a great man and a visionary leader.

Given this record, it is not at all surprising to see Americans defending Vladimir Putin and insisting that Putin invaded Ukraine because “we made him do it.”

This is nonsense. The nations of East ern Europe that chose to join NATO did so specifically to protect themselves from the possibility of future Russian aggression. Since Russia had subjugated these peoples with both the threat and the use of military force for 45 years, it is not at all surprising they would seek protection from future

‘Never, Ever, Ever’ Again

New Schneider permit problems prompt query into planning sta ’s handling of project

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

It appears Travis Schneider’s permit problems may have just doubled in size and gotten decidedly dirtier.

The local developer’s e orts to get a permit and permit amendments necessary to lift a county stop work order and resume construction of his family home on Walker Point Road south of the Indianola Cuto had already been complicated by concerns over the permitted size of the structure. But revelations in the last week — including that the home currently under construction is more than twice the permitted size and that Schneider hauled in 10 times more fill dirt to the property than his coastal development permit allowed — seem to bring serious ramifications for the project itself, while raising a host of questions about whether Schneider may have received preferential treatment from county sta .

Humboldt County Planning and Building Director John Ford confirmed to the Journal this past week that the actual building area of the structure is 20,817 square feet spread over two stories — far larger than the 8,000 square feet with a 1,000-squarefoot natural light cellar that Schneider had listed on his coastal development permit application, an estimate that has been repeated in county sta reports and Planning Commission discussions.

Ford, whose department looked into both matters after a Sept. 9 Journal inquiry as to whether the often-repeated numbers were accurate, said there will likely be some discussion about how much of the square footage of the house is living space but there is no question the structure is far larger than what was initially permitted.

“It’s really a 20,000-square-foot house,” Ford said. “I would find it hard to call it anything else. … Obviously, on the original permit that was approved it was an 8,000-square-foot house and it’s not in compliance with that.”

Ford said the house is, however, being built in accordance with building plans submitted to the county after Schneider

received the coastal development permit.

“The plans show a bigger house,” he said, adding that he doesn’t know why plans obviously out of step with the permit would have been approved by the county, explaining the planner who approved them has since retired. “They should have been reviewed by sta . He is building what was on the construction plans. They were approved. They were signed o on.”

The situation parallels the issues surrounding Schneider’s use of fill dirt on the property. According to Ford, the project’s coastal development permit allowed Schneider to bring in 1,500 cubic yards of fill dirt to the property but planning sta inexplicably approved a grading permit allowing 15,000 cubic yards of soil.

“The grading permit is not in conformance with the (coastal development permit),” Ford said. “I don’t know what happened there. That’s a pretty glaring inconsistency. An extra zero is meaningful.”

Revelations that county sta approved plans and issued a grading permit in violation of the coastal development permit — which is designed to be a project’s guiding document — come after news earlier this month that sta had approved a building permit before Schneider had secured a septic permit, also a condition of the coastal development permit. That makes three times sta permitted or approved things out of conformance with the initial permit.

Together, the new permitting problems seem to significantly complicate the project’s path forward, while also raising a host of questions about the county’s handling of the project — questions that are now the subject of an internal planning department investigation.

“There seem to have been some decisions that were made that I have not found the logic or the paper trail to justify,” he said. “But we’re working on it.”

Asked if his investigation has deter-

The W m He ted City

mined whether Schneider was given prefer ential treatment by planning staff, Ford said that’s still unclear.

“That is a concern that I have,” he said. “I would like to think that it’s not true but the mere fact that you come up with that on your own and ask the question is the same thing that occurs to me. It’s like, ‘What the heck happened?’ Because something obvi ously was not right.”

Ford said his query has been complicated by the fact that at least two of the planners who worked on the project in its early stages have retired and are no longer with the department. While his internal investigation is ongoing, Ford said he’s already spoken with the person in his department respon sible for ensuring permits are in compliance about implementing additional checks and balances.

“This can never, ever, ever happen again,” Ford said. “She’s working on safeguards to make sure numbers get checked and double checked, and numbers get reconciled before permits are issued.”

Coastal Commission North Coast District Manager Melissa Kraemer, meanwhile, said she would hesitate to put any ultimate blame for Schneider’s predicament on the county, saying the developer knew — or should have known — the provisions of the coastal development permit, the governing document for the project, and not submit ted plans and applications that overstepped its bounds. Kraemer also noted that had Schneider initially applied for a coastal de velopment permit to build a 20,000-squarefoot house and bring in 15,000 cubic yards of fill dirt to the property, it would have almost certainly have gone to a public hearing, if not denied outright.

For his part, Schneider wrote in an email to the Journal that he does not believe county staff “set out to make mistakes per mitting any more than (he) set out to make mistakes in the field.”

“Life is full of mistakes,” he said. “My wife and I have built over 125 homes for Hum boldt County families, and I wish I could say every single time we did it without chal lenges. I tell our kids, we can’t always play error-free baseball — our ability as humans to mitigate mistakes and make something better out of the mess is what defines our character.”

As to the size of the house, Schneider pushed back on Ford’s figures in an email to the Journal, saying the “habitable” home is 7,817 square feet spread across a single ground-level, though there’s a “basement portion” of the structure that covers the same footprint and includes various things — mechanical space, storage, a garage, a “rainy day rec room” for his kids, a cellar and covered patio — that would have other wise been built in different structures or

increased the footprint of the house.

“We consolidated the visual disturbance footprint into one structure that is largely subsurface, and not easily discernible from most vantage points, specifically Highway 101,” Schneider wrote.

He did not respond to subsequent emails seeking further clarification.

Whether dubbed mistakes or attempts by Schneider or county staff to willfully ma nipulate the process, this week’s revelations are significant.

As Ford made clear during the Planning Commission’s Sept. 1 meeting, because Schneider violated the terms of his coastal development permit by building the house in a different location than approved by the county, which in turn caused the structure to encroach on a 100-foot-wetland buffer, the project is now in the appeal jurisdic tion of the California Coastal Commission. Schneider also violated the original permit conditions by clearing environmentally sensitive habitat and grading over a known Wiyot cultural site while cutting an unper mitted temporary construction road into the property.

In response to Planning Commission Chair Alan Bongio’s efforts to push Schneider’s permits ahead Sept. 1, Ford told commis sioners in no uncertain terms that he’d been in touch with multiple layers of California Coastal Commission staff leadership and they had expressed concerns about whether the house conforms with the local coastal plan.

“They’re concerned with the size and the mass of the house in a very scenic location and whether or not that fits within the setting of the property,” Ford said, later explaining that when Schneider moved the house’s footprint closer to the Fay Slough Wildlife Area — violating the wetland set back requirement and putting the project in the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction — it also made it “more prominent, more visible,” heightening Coastal Commission staff’s concerns.

And that was when Ford, planning staff and the Coastal Commission all still appar ently thought the house was 8,000 square feet with a 1,000-square-foot cellar.

Kraemer told the Journal concerns about the project go back years.

“I recall when the original permit went through in 2017 that we had concerns with the size of the structure and it being out of character for the area,” she wrote in an email to the Journal, adding there were also concerns about its proximity to the adjacent wetland and the adequacy of an associated biological study.

But because the project was ultimately sited 100 feet back from the wetlands — and therefore not appealable to the Coastal Commission — Kraemer said staff simply

recommended the county condition the permit to provide vegetative screening to limit the home’s impact on the public viewscape. But with the house now located within that 100-foot setback, the project is in the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction and Kraemer said sta has again expressed concern about the house’s size and that, given its new footprint, there “may be a greater visual impact than originally considered.”

Informed the structure is actually more than 20,000 square feet — not the 8,000 that initially posed concerns — and asked if that exacerbates existing concerns about the project being out of character with the area and having a larger visual impact, Kraemer responded simply: “Yes and yes.”

Kraemer pointed to a provision of the Humboldt Bay Area Plan as the guiding policy on the issue, including a provision that reads: “The scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas shall be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. Permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas … [and] to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas.”

There are no clear objective standards, Kraemer said, so the county needs to evaluate whether the house as constructed and sited protects scenic qualities of the area and is in line with the surrounding area.

The subject of the project’s compatibility with the surrounding area was discussed at the Sept. 1 Planning Commission meeting.

At that meeting, Bongio argued the project didn’t strike him as incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood.

“There’s multiple houses at the end of this subdivision that are above-average size,” he said. “I can’t tell you what the neighboring houses are, but I’m going to make a guess — and I’m a pretty good judge of looking at house, having built them for 40-something years — that everything that’s at the end of that point is probably in the 4,000to6,000 [-square-foot] range.”

Bongio then said the way Schneider’s home is constructed — with a single story set over a “daylight basement” — minimizes its visual impact.

“I don’t believe it’s out of proportion to what’s there,” Bongio said. “Those were definitely executive-type lots that would have that size of house on them.”

Driving down Walker Point Road to where it dead ends at the Schneider’s property at the end of a knoll overlooking the Fay Slough Wildlife Area with views of the bay, it’s clear the homes there have been subdivided and developed in stages. Closer to Indianola Cuto , the homes are smaller and appear older, while the houses closer to the end of the road are clearly larger. But Bongio’s estimates are o , according to

the square footages listed for neighboring homes on various real estate websites.

The websites indicate neighboring homes generally fall between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet, with the largest — one specifically referenced by Bongio at the Sept. 1 meeting as appearing larger than Schneider’s — coming in at just over 3,500.

Commissioner Brian Mitchell suggested at the meeting that the county conduct an analysis of recently built neighboring homes to help the commission judge whether Schneider’s project is in line with the neighborhood, but Bongio pushed back, saying the “train left the station” when the house was permitted, and he didn’t believe it appropriate to go back and do a “de-facto design review at this juncture.”

Of course, it’s now clear what was permitted is not what is being built.

Bongio, who said multiple times over the two Planning Commission meetings that he’s made numerous visits to the project site and is familiar with the building plans, did not immediately respond to a Journal email asking if he knew the home’s actual square footage was more than double what was permitted and repeatedly referenced in planning documents and commission meetings and, if so, why he didn’t take steps to address the discrepancy and correct the record.

As to the path forward, Ford said he met with Schneider and Coastal Commission sta separately Sept. 24 to discuss options, saying he presented several to Schneider and is waiting to hear back. Declining to get into specifics about exactly what was proposed, he said the options range from continuing forward with trying to get permit modifications, knowing they would be appealable to the Coastal Commission, to simply taking the structure down, removing the fill dirt and starting the permitting process from scratch.

Kraemer said the project is currently under the county’s purview but she and her sta are standing by to help in any way they can, from providing input on the project’s consistency with the local coastal program to o ering up “an enforcement division that can assist,” if needed. But Kraemer stressed her view is the structure is out of character for the area and it would consequently be very hard for the county to simply permit what’s being built, finding it in conformance with its local coastal program.

“If they were going to do that with this 20,000-foot monstrosity, I just don’t see how they’d be able to come up with the findings necessary,” she said. ●

Taxing Tribal Lands Adds Insult to Injury

By Kerri J. Malloy newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

News feeds are being flooded with pro and con arguments about whether federally recognized tribes and licensed gambling companies should be allowed to o er online sports betting in California. Instead, #LandBack should be trending.

The #LandBack movement seeks to return lands to tribal nations. These lands, with few exceptions, are subject to state property taxes. The Legislature should amend California’s tax codes to exempt these lands from property taxes. Doing so would impede the exploitation of Indigenous peoples that has been part of the nation’s history since before its independence.

State property taxation was used to acquire Indigenous lands. The 1887 federal Dawes Act authorized the breaking up of Indigenous-held lands into parcels held in trust, and exempt from state property taxes, for a set period. When the exemption ended, many Indigenous people could not pay and forfeited their lands to the state, which then resold them.

Taxpayers may fear that eliminating property taxes would diminish needed revenues to support schools, roads and other public services. A system already exists to o set the loss of local property tax revenue that has provided $10.8 billion to states since 1977.

Under this system, the federal government makes payments in lieu of taxes for nontaxable federal lands, including reservations. Congress could expand the payments to automatically include lands returned to Indigenous nations. This would remove the threat of the repeat of the loss of lands for the inability or failure to pay state property taxes, while ensuring revenues for local governments to provide services.

In 2022, $549.4 million was distributed to 1,900 local governments to compensate for the nontaxable federal lands in their jurisdictions. Revenues generated from commercial activities on public lands fund these payments, eliminating the need for further congressional appropriations.

Kerri J. Malloy CalMatters

The #LandBack movement is gaining momentum and has already seen lands returned to tribes. Approximately 14,000 acres have been given back to the Indigenous peoples of California since 1995, when 3,900 acres were returned to the Inter-Tribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council in Mendocino County.

The city of Eureka made international headlines by returning all the parcels it owned on Tuluwat Island to the Wiyot Tribe in two land transfers in 2004 and 2019.

Land transfers have continued, with the most recent in May, when 40 acres above the North Fork of the American River in Placer County were returned to Colfax-Todds Valley Consolidated Tribe.

And, in a first for the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland will create an easement on 5 acres within the city limits in Sequoia Point for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. The city will retain the title, with the easement providing exclusive rights for the tribe to use the property for ceremonial and cultural purposes.

Additional land returns could take place throughout the state with the transfer of excess state-owned land to Indigenous nations to fulfill the governor’s 2020 Statement of Administration Policy on Native American Ancestral Lands.

Mention of property taxes is missing from the speeches and press releases celebrating land return. Failure to address this important matter makes these feel-good moments fleeting and requires Indigenous nations to pay for the right to care for the lands they have called home since time immemorial. ●

Cpl. Crystal Landry has a cold. It’s just a sinus thing, she says, something she picked up from one of the other officers on last week’s shift. She blots her nose with a tissue and pecks at the keyboard of her computer, typing a Be On the Lookout for a stolen dirt bike.

“They took it right off the guy’s porch in broad daylight,” she says. It’s Saturday afternoon in Rio Dell, and Landry is looking forward to a busy shift. The sky outside is threatening a late spring rain, with anemic droplets misting the air. Landry blots, types and shifts uncomfortably in her oversized

chair. The old computer hums in front of her. On the desk next to her is a repur posed plastic Costco cashew jar full of miscellaneous bullets. The chief, Jeff Con ner, is preparing for retirement by cleaning out the evidence locker. Banker boxes full of old files and confiscated detritus are stacked around Landry’s desk. She spots a fossilized rat turd and makes a small sound of disgust, cheerfully razzing Conner as he passes through the bullpen.

Blot. Type. Shift. Sniff. Because the dirt bike’s owner and a neighbor around the corner had security cameras, Landry has al ready identified the alleged thief. The cam

eras gave a good view of his face and that of his female accomplice, as well as the truck and trailer he loaded the bike onto. Within a half-hour of sending stills from the cameras around to other agencies, a colleague at the Eureka Police Department flagged the suspect as a well-known petty criminal. In fact, the EPD officer says they towed the getaway truck just a few weeks prior for lack of license and registration.

The Rio Dell Police Department shares a building with City Hall on Wildwood Avenue, the town’s (population 3,400) main drag. The building, like many in Rio Dell, is nestled into the slope of a hill. Because

of the evidence locker, the small station smells strongly of cannabis, a smell Landry says she hasn’t noticed in years. Landry has short blond hair and bright blue eyes, a quick smile, a blurry tattoo across the back of her right wrist. She graduated from the College of the Redwoods Police Academy in December of 2018, one of only three women in her class, and the only one who remains an officer. She started with RDPD a month later, promoting to corporal in 2021. Landry’s goal is to become a detective. She was a stay-at-home parent prior to going into the academy, waiting until her daugh ter was in pre-school before joining the

profession. She likes a fast-paced job, she says, and the Rio Dell police force has that. It’s a place where she gets to “do a little bit of everything.”

“I like to get to the bottom of things, to work a case from beginning to end,” she says. A call comes in with the sus pect’s most recent addresses. Landry pulls out her phone, which is adorned with a doughnut pop socket, and types them into her navigator. Her cell phone and its voice assistant function is an essential tool for her job, allowing Landry to call contacts and look up information as she drives from call to call.

A few weeks earlier, two teenage boys jumped the fence of the local elementary school and stole an expensive skateboard from an eighth-grade girl. Landry drove from one end of the town to the oth er while calling contacts using her car’s Bluetooth system. Could the principal send her screenshots from the school’s security camera? Had the clerk at the Dollar General seen two teenagers come in carrying a yellow skateboard in the last half-hour? She studied the stills of the two boys, watched how they walked through the schoolyard.

“I swear I recognize that one,” she mut tered. “But no, he’s kind of splay-footed. The kid I’m thinking of doesn’t walk that way.”

Rio Dell’s small size (just 2.5 square miles) and Landry’s relentless friendliness work to the officer’s advantage in property theft cases. There’s a lot of foot traffic in Rio Dell, people out on the sidewalks and in their front yards, people who almost universally wave when they see Landry on patrol.

In the schoolyard, a scrum of children gathered around to look at the video and stills. No, they said, they didn’t know the boys. Landry drove up and down Wild wood, turning down the side streets and stopping when she saw someone. Seniors walking their dogs. The chief of the local volunteer fire department. A woman in a front yard comforting her bereaved friend. No, said the woman, and her friend, the seniors and the fire chief, they didn’t recognize the boys in the video.

Now, several weeks later, Landry says the case was resolved when a relative marched the suspect down to the station with the skateboard. Things like that happen all the time in Rio Dell, she says. People know one another. Word gets out.

Landry checks in with Conner about go ing to the alleged dirt bike thief’s address es, all of which are in Eureka. Conner gives her the go-ahead, telling her to give the Eureka Police Department a head’s up that she’s going to be in their area. Although most police officers in California have

broad power to work cases outside of their jurisdiction, leaving city limits to pur sue a suspect can be risky. Once they’ve passed a probationary training period, al most all officers work alone unless they’ve requested back up. Rio Dell and Ferndale both rely on dispatchers at the Fortuna Po lice Department to route calls for service, and the three Eel River Valley stations offer mutual aid to one another when necessary. Landry says she also gets backup from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, the Cali fornia Highway Patrol and CalFire.

Each contact Landry makes is punctu ated by a fastidious call into dispatch to relay where she is and what she’s doing and a second call once the contact is complet ed. In Eureka, Landry will be relying on the availability of officers in other depart ments to support her if things go wrong. Conner tells Landry to check in with HCSO dispatch during her trip north, “just in case she gets in trouble.” He and the other officer on duty will hold things down while she’s gone.

“Don’t get in trouble,” he adds as she leaves.

Landry’s vehicle smells vaguely animal. Last week she broke up a fight and took two assailants into custody — a pair of dogs that had been attacking a neighborhood goat. Although Rio Dell has a dedicated community service officer who also does animal control, Landry and other officers pinch hit these duties during the CSO’s off hours. Landry and her fellow officers also serve as administrative staff much of the time. When there’s no one at the station, walk-ins are instructed to call the phone number on the locked door. This routes to the Fortuna dispatch, which calls whoever’s on patrol back to the station. On one recent shift, Landry pingponged between the station and a call to a suspicious death, taking custody of an abandoned cat, driving to a local home to examine a dead body, then back to the station to retrieve another cat. Accord ing to Conner’s staff reports to the city, RDPD responded to 50 animal-related calls for service between April 2 and June 20. The city has an agreement with Miranda’s Rescue Animal Shelter to take in stray dogs and cats; the department is stocked with humane traps, bags of dog food, cans of cat food. Landry has rehomed at least two kittens herself; one went with her, the other to a cousin. But not every animal call is heart-warming.

“I was never scared of dogs before I started this job,” she says, pulling out of the station. “Something about the uniform freaks them out.”

Landry gets on the highway and heads north, dabbing occasionally at her runny nose. She knows Eureka well, she says. She grew up in the area, bouncing from house to house in a chaotic childhood. Some of her family members were and are using drugs. Some were and are on the other side of the law. Landry recalls visiting a notorious apartment building with a group of friends when she was a teenager, some one flicking on a light realizing there were cockroaches everywhere. She jumped on a boy’s back, screaming.

“I hate bugs,” Landry says, shaking her head.

Her experiences as a child informed her choice to become a cop, she says. She wants to help people, to be there when they’re ready to make a crucial decision, to turn their lives around. Like many people in her profession, she is frustrated with recent changes to the California criminal justice system that have reduced sentenc ing options for low-level drug offenders and other misdemeanor charges. Many of her arrestees bounce out of jail within hours. Landry sees arrests as an interven tion, a consequence, and jail as a chance for some people to disrupt their pattern of recidivism.

“I arrest people for charges weekly,” she says. “They never help them. Why are we arresting them if they aren’t keeping them?”

Landry pulls into the first address, a small battered house in the Pine Hill neighborhood. She calls into dispatch and gives her location. The front yard is stuffed with the rusty carcass of an old fishing boat. The pipe and wire fence has several “Beware of Dog,” signs on it. Landry looks

around warily then opens the gate. She knocks on the door, which has a paper with a list of hand-written rules ducttaped to it: No visitors after 7 p.m.; Don’t come here looking for my daughter. Inside, a dog barks. After several knocks Landry gives up. She gets back into the car and radios back to HCSO, calling in all-clear.

According to the 30x30 Initiative, a coalition working to increase the number of women in policing, women make up only 12 percent of sworn o cers and 3 percent of leadership positions in the United States. These statistics play out similarly in Humboldt County. Women make up four of 38 sworn o cer positions at the Eureka Police Department (10 percent); two of 19 at the Fortuna Police Department (11 percent); four of 22 at the Arcata Police Department (18 percent); seven of 110 deputy sheri s (6 percent) and 22 of 88 correctional o cers (25 percent) at HCSO.

Fortuna Chief Casey Day says that while he is always looking to diversify the make-up of his sta , he says more men are attracted to the field than women.

“Traditionally, it was more of a male-occupied profession,” says Day. “I’ve worked for di erent agencies. It’s always been, at least in my experience, that departments are made up mostly of males.”

Mike Perkins, director of the College of the Redwoods’ Public Safety Training Center, says he has seen female cadets generally struggle with some of the physical requirements of the training, which include tasks such as scaling a 6-foot wall and a 165 pound “body drag,” and is interested in o ering a specialized unit of women in

policing that would help cadets develop proper technique, as well as prepare them to enter a highly male-dominated field. A similar unit was o ered at Perkins’ previous post in Santa Barbara. The ability to bring it to Humboldt, he says, is hampered by the same factors impacting his program and the profession overall: recruitment and retention. The academy does not retain a dedicated teaching sta but relies on local o cers to teach units and has had an increasingly hard time finding instructors due to a decline in regional sta ng levels.

“The struggle that we’re facing is the fact that we’ve seen such a shift out of law enforcement, so many people are retiring and we’re not really able to backfill those positions,” he says. “There’s just a lack of interest in going into the profession. Most agencies around the area are very understa ed. What that results in is o cers are working overtime shifts … and that’s our main source of instructors.”

The average class size has shrunk over the past two years as well, Perkins says, from 20 down to 13.

Greg Allen, who succeeded Conner as chief of the Rio Dell police in July, attributes the decline in enrollment to a number of factors, including COVID but also a nationwide change in attitude toward policing as a profession. Allen taught at the academy for 10 years, and served as a lieutenant with HCSO and several other agencies for a combined 28 years of experience in law enforcement.

“When you talk about recruiting in general, this is not a countywide problem, it’s a nationwide problem,” he says, adding that high profile use-of force incidents have tarnished the public image of the profession. “A lot of people are staying away from law enforcement. It’s a dangerous profession. The younger generation wants flexible hours and guaranteed time o to spend with their families.”

Allen was referring to incidents such as the murder of George Floyd in 2020 by police o cers in Minneapolis. Local agencies have also weathered scandals. In 2021, the Sacramento Bee revealed that several o cers in an EPD unit were active on a group text exchange that included derogatory and sexist language directed at homeless people, mentally ill people and

women, including some of their female colleagues.

Allen adds that many trained o cers get recruited away from smaller departments by bonuses and higher pay o ered to lateral transfers in other agencies and regions. Compensating for this attrition by recruiting new o cers is not easy. While almost all cadets currently being recruited into the academy have jobs waiting for them by their recruiting agency, the wait time between finding the right person for the job and getting that cadet onto a beat can be as long as a year when taking into account the six months of academy training, the 10 to 18 weeks of field training and the intense background check, which can take anywhere from 60 days to six months to complete. These background checks for any criminal history or drug use also often include interviews with former coworkers, roommates and family members. For this reason, the average age of a recruit can skew a bit younger, toward people who haven’t had a chance to get a DUI or bounce a check yet.

As for the low numbers of women in the ranks, Allen says in his time with the academy the ratio has always been about 70-30. Allen says women bring important strengths to the profession, including being less likely to use excessive force, and having better de-escalation, interpersonal and communication skills. As to why there aren’t more of them, the chief says it’s down to a number of factors, mostly culture.

“It’s been a male-dominated field,” Allen says. “The decisions are being made by males. Law enforcement hasn’t been an attractive profession to females. I think the men who hold positions of greater power and influence … they can get things put into action in terms of recruiting women.”

Leadership statistics in local law enforcement also follow national trends. Of 277 sworn o cer positions combined between APD, HCSO, FPD and EPD, 12 women are ranked as lieutenants, detectives, corporals or sergeants, or about 4.33 percent. Correctional deputies make up the majority of these positions, eight out of 12. Support sta , including dispatchers and administration, also skews heavily female in most departments. In Eureka, Amber Cosetti is the first woman in the department to hold the rank of senior detective and was recently elected by her colleagues to serves as the first female president of the Eureka Police O cers Association.

Like Perkins, Allen also references that 6-foot wooden wall, saying it’s an example of physical requirements for the job that may be outdated. (Landry, who was an avid CrossFit devotee prior to joining the

academy, says clearing it is more technique than strength.)

“That’s one a lot of academies are looking at whether or not to continue,” says Allen. “Traditionally men have more upper body strength, but is it realistic to the job we do? You can ask an o cer: ‘When’s the last time you jumped a wall?’”

Landry’s promotion to corporal comes with extra responsibilities. On her days o she receives calls from other o cers to authorize high-speed pursuits or to drive down for extra help. She’s also working on an associate degree in police science through College of the Redwoods. She tries to keep up with the latest technology and practices, training in red dot sighting for her handgun and victim witness interviews.

The 30x30 Initiative reports that under-representation of women in policing “undermines public safety.

“Research shows women o cers use less force and less excessive force,” 30x30’s mission statement reads, noting they also “are named in fewer complaints and lawsuits; are perceived by communities as being more honest and compassionate; see better outcomes for crime victims, especially in sexual assault cases; and make fewer discretionary arrests.”

Landry, for her part, has never had to use any of the weaponry included in the 35 pounds of gear she straps to her waist at the beginning of every shift.

“Even if I have to arrest someone, I try to maintain the rapport,” she says. “I don’t want to go down to their level. You will have more cooperation being kind to them than being an a-hole. And that comes naturally to me. Even if someone is on drugs or whatever, I still think of my work as a service to them.”

The next stop is the McCullens Motel, a cluster of one-room cabins on McCullens Avenue in Eureka that are often rented long-term. The motel gained some infamy in 2016, when Maxx Robison, then 20, opened fire there after a drug deal gone wrong, killing 19-year-old Rihanna Skye McKenzie. Robison was sentenced to 24 years in jail. The motel remains a hot spot for drug activity. It’s raining as Landry pulls up in front of the manager’s o ce.

In a lighted doorway, a trio of young men are blowing cigarette smoke into the wind. They look momentarily nervous at Landry’s arrival but then crane their necks in interest, perhaps curious who she’s looking for.

Landry rings the doorbell of the manager’s o ce, waits in the rain, then finally spots a sign in the window and calls the phone number listed. A middle-aged woman in sweatpants and a Crabs Baseball shirt

comes to the door. She looks unsurprised to see the uniform. Hearing the name of the man Landry is looking for, she gives a dry gu aw.

“That little fucker isn’t here, ‘scuse my language,” she says. “Not on a dare.”

The manager asks what her former tenant’s been accused of. Told that it’s theft, she shakes her head sardonically. The group of young men in the cabin next door have dissolved inside.

Landry leaves and goes to the next address, a modest and clean craftsman on A Street, although she doesn’t expect to find the alleged thief there. No one answers the door. The rain picks up, then slackens to a dull drizzle. A call comes in as she gets back in the car. A friend from the academy who’s with the sheri ’s o ce recognized the suspect from Landry’s BOLO. He’s recovered some stolen property connected with the alleged thief out at a house in Field’s Landing. Landry takes down the address, then radios into dispatch. Leaving A Street, en route to Field’s Landing, there’s a new kind of energy about this call, the tantalizing promise of a solid lead.

“It takes a lot to get my adrenaline going anymore,” admits Landry. When she was new on the job, her blood would start pumping when she got a report of a hairy situation, a weapon drawn, a domestic violence situation, but now: “I’m getting adrenaline less and less. I get adrenaline on the ride there, but most of the time when I get there it’s not as bad as it seems.”

She takes the turno for Field’s Landing, drives down a rugged little street, slowing, looking for the house number. Then:

“I can’t believe it,” she says. “That’s the truck.”

The black lifted truck is sitting in the driveway. The trailer isn’t there, however, nor is the stolen bike. Landry radios into HCSO then waits impatiently for them to confirm she’ll have backup if she needs it.

The small house is weathered, its porch leaning slightly. The fenced front yard is littered with trash. A battered trailer sits in the driveway. The rising wind causes a blanket covering one of the trailer’s broken windows to ripple and wave. Landry starts there, knocking on the side of the trailer. Nobody answers. She goes to the door of the house and knocks. An elderly woman opens the door, releasing a small pack of large dogs. They are barking but friendly, weaving around Landry’s legs. A middle-aged man, possibly her son, appears in the doorway, as well. Landry introduces herself and asks if the owner of the truck is there.

“Is who?” the woman asks. She gives Landry permission to look around the yard and behind the house for the dirt bike or the truck’s owner. Landry does, picking her way through the trash. A package of meat is spoiling on top of an old oil drum. No bike. No suspect. Landry goes back to the front door, where a young woman is now waiting, procured from the back of the house by her grandmother. She has long dark hair and tattoos and is wearing a tank top. One leg of her sweatpants is pulled up to reveal an intense poison oak rash. She scratches at it as Landry explains the situation.

“I know you,” Landry says. “You were in the video we got, from the security camera. Is that your boyfriend?”

The girl, clearly upset, insists that her boyfriend was just taking back a bike he’d already paid for.

“Explain to me what he thought about the bike,” Landry asks as the girl scratches furiously at her rash.

“He put a lot of money into it, $100,000, he tried to do it right,” the girl insists. But someone sold it to the guy in Rio Dell even though it didn’t belong to them. She’ll get him to bring it back.

Landry nods. The girl can’t tell her where her boyfriend and the bike are now. She gives the girl her phone number, says to have her boyfriend call her. The girl agrees. Landry gets back in her car, then realizes she didn’t get the interaction on her body camera. She nudges it to life, then goes back to the porch and secures the promise from the girl again. The rain is coming down harder now, whipping stinging little blasts in the wind.

Landry drives south, back to Rio Dell. She tries to pay a visit to the man whose bike was stolen, but he’s not home. He, too, has a list of rules in front of his door, written on a whiteboard: Don’t visit without calling; I don’t have time to work on your car; Don’t knock on the door, I can’t hear you.

She tries calling him. No answer.

Landry returns to the station and begins working on her report. The owner of the bike calls back, finally. He’s on his way back to Eureka, he says. The kid who stole the bike is freaked out that the cops are involved and he’s going to meet him and give it back.

“Do you want to press charges?” Landry asks. No, he says, he just wants his property back.

Landry blots her nose once again and begins to type up her report. Like most local police departments, Rio Dell has struggled to find and retain o cers, many of whom are attracted to a better rate of pay at other agencies after their probationary period is over. Landry says she prefers the “low drama” atmosphere of RDPD. She gets along with her coworkers, they get along with her. That counts for a lot. Also, she feels supported by the community. Last

year she had to arrest a combative suspect and several citizens stepped in to help. She didn’t need the help, she insists, but was glad to know they had her back. Conner, who worked in local law enforcement since the ’90s, says diversifying recruitment and hiring practices are crucial to improving the profession. While the average recruit is young and male, he’d much rather hire someone in their 30s or 40s, he says, someone with more life experience and patience. He and the older cops he knows have changed their approach to a lot of things, Conner says, becoming better at de-escalation because they “don’t want to roll around on the ground anymore.”

“Crystal is the future of the Rio Dell Police Department,” he later adds in an email.

Her report finished, Landry gets back in her vehicle and comes to the assist of an o cer making a tra c stop on U.S. Highway 101 just north of Scotia. The driver, who’s been popped for drugs before, is known to Landry. He was pulled over for a tra c violation and is now being cited for driving with a suspended license. As the other o cer searches the car, Landry talks to the guy. What’s he doing now, is he working? She gives him a pep talk.

“It’s a great time to get a job,” she says. “Lots of places are hiring. Lots of opportunities out there.” ●

Young Pumpkin, Little Jewel of Fall

Starring in juicy, fried meat dumplings

By Wendy Chan onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

Fall, my favorite season of all — the abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits, the joy of celebrating the Harvest Moon, and the brilliant sunsets in the still warm evenings. This fall, I’m extra happy because my parents have come to visit. I have been busy in the kitchen with my mom exper imenting with few new recipes. One of my all-time favorites is cooking with the young green pumpkins from the Oriental Food and Spices market (306 W. Harris St., Eureka). If you missed the first season for them, usually in late August and early September, you can still find some at the pumpkin patches in October. I usually pick few immature pumpkins of the green varieties when l go to the patch for big ones — sometimes they let you keep them for free.

Some farmers like to trim some pump kins off the vines when they are little over a month old after flowering so the rest can grow bigger. When cooking young pumpkin, there’s no waste: You can eat the skin, seeds and all. According to some studies, they help regulate blood pressure, boost your immune system and promote heart health. They are also high in vitamin A for healthy looking skin. I like them for their mild, refreshing flavor, their crisp and juicy texture, and the vibrant green against the soft yellow, like a jeweled bowl. I of ten sauté them with garlic and black bean sauce, make pumpkin pancakes or stir-fry slices with meat.

I remember my dad used to grow our favorite kabocha and Jarrahdale pump kins in their huge yard when they lived in Humboldt. He would call me up, excited, and invite me to come over and count how many pumpkins were growing. Then he’d decide how many young pumpkins to pick, how many to grow to maturity and how many we were going to share with others.

While my dad loves spending time in the garden, my mom loves spending time in the kitchen. During this visit,

we decided to make something new: dumplings with young pumpkin and meat filling. l showed her how to roll super thin wrappers but it wasn’t easy for her since she can’t keep her hands as steady as she used to. I told her she could just use the store bought potsticker wrappers and roll them out a bit to spread them thinner. I let her grate the pumpkin and l chopped the meat. Our dumplings turned out deliciously juicy inside and crispy outside. She said she likes them much more than the ones from the dim sum places in San Francisco and she can’t wait to make them again once they get back home.

Young Pumpkin Dumplings

If you don’t want to make your own wrappers, you can always use store bought. Just flour your rolling pin and roll each wrapper outward from the center to make it little thinner. But making your own is fun and tastes much better. I like these dumplings plain, but you can serve with a soy and vinegar dipping sauce.

For the filling:

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups grated young pumpkin

1 cup minced pork or chicken

2 tablespoons chopped green onion

¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

½ teaspoon vegetable oil

½ teaspoon sesame oil

For the wrappers:

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup warm water, 110°F

1/8 teaspoon salt

For frying:

1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil

½ cup water

1 teaspoon flour

Stir the flour and salt. Add the water, reserving 1 tablespoon, as you might not

need it, depending on the moisture con tent of the flour you use. Mix and knead until a soft dough forms. If it still feels crumbly, add the remaining teaspoon of water. Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough rests, make the filling. In a large bowl, toss the grated pumpkin with the salt and let stand for 5 minutes. Squeeze out as much water as you can from the pumpkin. Add the minced pork or chicken, chopped green onion, white pepper, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon vegetable oil and sesame oil. Mix well using your hands and refrigerate, allowing the flavors to meld.

Now roll out the wrappers. Divide the dough into quarters, then cut each quarter into 5 or 6 pieces for a total of 20 to 24 pieces. Lightly flour your palms and roll the pieces into little balls. Yes, they will be very small. On a floured surface, roll each ball with a flour-dusted Chinese rolling pin or small beer bottle to form a 3 ½-inch circle. The dough will be stretchy and should be easy to work with.

Remove the filling from the refrigerator. Holding the wrapper in one hand, place

northcoastjournal.com

1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Use the other hand to pleat the edges of the wrapper, pinching your way around in a circle until you have sealed the top. Place the sealed dumplings on a heavily floured tray or platter. The flour is important since the wrappers are thin and you don’t want them to stick to the bare tray. Once you finish wrapping, it’s time to cook.

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat for a minute before adding the oil. When the oil is hot, place the dumplings in the pan and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes before lifting one up to check whether the bottom has turned just golden. Mix the ½ cup of water with 1 tea spoon flour and pour it around the edge of the pan. Cover and turn the burner up to high. Once you hear sizzling or see all the water has evaporated, about 4 to 5 minutes, turn the heat off. Let the pan sit for a minute before removing the cover. The dumplings will be juicy and hot, so let them cool for a minute before serving. l

Chetco Estuary Pumping Out Big Kings

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

If you’re looking to catch big, oceanbright kings, you’ll want to keep an eye on the Chetco estuary. Salmon have been staging in the tidewater since the beginning of September and they’ll be there until rain allows them to make their way upriver. And according to Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing, the season at the mouth of the Chetco is now in full swing. “With an above-aver age return so far this season, the estuary has been crowded, as word has gotten out about the good fishing,” said Mar tin. “There is no ocean ‘bubble’ season this year, meaning all fishing must take place from the trips of the jetties inward. Trolling 360 flashers with spinner blades or anchovies has been effective this season as the technique catches on for bay troll ing throughout the Oregon Coast. Trolling plug-cut herring or threaded anchovies without flashers also is working. The last two hours of the incoming tide and first half of the outgoing tide has produced the best fishing.”

The daily bag limit for salmon on the Chetco is two adult fish per day, no more than one adult wild Chinook. Anglers may harvest adult hatchery Chinook until the daily bag limit has been met. Once the adult daily limit is harvested, anglers can not continue to fish for jack salmon. Gear restrictions are in effect upstream from river mile 2.2 until Nov. 4. For additional Chetco regulations, visit eregulations.com/ oregon/fishing/southwest-zone.

Upper Klamath, Trinity salmon quota update

The upper Klamath and Trinity adult quota closure dates are not yet set, according to Dan Troxel, an environmen tal scientist with CDFW’s Klamath River Project. “Typically, the quotas are based off harvest timing, meaning a set number of days following the closure of the adult Chinook salmon fishery on the lower Klamath,” said Troxel. “As of now, the

upper Klamath will allow for adult harvest likely into the first week of October. As for the upper Trinity, we like to see what’s happening at Junction City and Willow Creek weirs to better inform that decision, but will likely occur mid to late October. Additionally, the Lower Trinity sector is partly informed by the recreational creel survey conducted by Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries; at this point harvest remains fairly low. Please keep an eye out for department press releases in the coming days and weeks.”

The Oceans:

Eureka

Rock fishing at Cape Mendocino was excellent over the weekend, according to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “There’s lots of variety, and the black rock fish bite is as good as I’ve seen,” said Klas sen. “There’s plenty of vermilions, canaries and yellowtails, as well. The lingcod bite has been good, too. We’ve been catching them up to 20 pounds, but the average is about 6 to 12 pounds. Ocean conditions looked good Tuesday and a few boats were headed south off Gorda roughly 35 miles for tuna. It was a one-day window before the wind picks back up.”

Shelter Cove

According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, the tuna action has been excellent for quite a few days. He said, “We’ve been getting them 15 to 20 miles from the Cove. We’re averaging right around 25 per day and they’re a really good grade. Our biggest this week was 44-pounds. It looks like Tuesday may be the last day for a while. The wind is fore

cast to pick up Tuesday night, we’ll have to see what happens to the water after that.”

Crescent City

According to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, a few boats were chasing tuna Tuesday. “The warm water pushed out a little, it was about 50 miles,” said Carson. “Late last week the boats did really well around 40 miles out. Hopefully the water will stick around after the wind blows for the next few days. Other than tuna, the rockfish and lingcod bite contin ue to be wide-open.”

The Rivers:

Lower Klamath

Fresh kings continue to move into the lower Klamath. Anglers are catching a mix of jacks and adults from the Glen to John son’s. Fishing soft beads in some of the flats has been productive. Anglers can keep two jacks (less than or equal to 23 inches) per day with a possession limit of six.

All adult Chinook salmon caught must be immediately released and reported on an angler’s report card. For the week ending Sept. 23, 219 jacks were harvested and 252 adults were released above the U.S. Highway 101 bridge.

Cleaning Up the Garden

And what to leave messy

By Julia Graham-Whitt downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

Even though we live in a temperate climate, I’ve been noticing some subtle changes in the weather and critters here on the coast. I’ve been seeing wooly banded bears — a caterpillar that has some bizarre obsession with crossing roads, at least down in my neck of the woods. Their fuzzy black and orange presence reminds us it’s going to get cooler and we may even see some rain. That means it’s time to get those garden chores done so we can be prepared for winter crops, as well as next spring.

It’s not too late to plant some veggies, as they love our cooler weather and, if we’re lucky, you may not even have to wa ter them much. Vegetables to plant right now include: kale, collards, lettuces, peas, broccoli and the very important garlic.

I had a bit of a disaster with my garlic crop this year. Rust! Rust is a pernicious fungal disease. I know other gardeners who also had problems with rust, likely due to the cool, drippy weather we had this summer, followed by warm sunshine. I foolishly planted my garlic in a spot with some afternoon shade, which didn’t do it any favors. I learned from a fellow gar dener that she likes to wait until at least November to plant her garlic and she’s found that it helps prevent rust. I normally plant it at the end of October, so I’ll give it a try this year. If you were unfortunate enough to have rust in your alliums (it also affects onions and leeks), you must rotate

the crop next year, as rust spores will stay in the soil.

Clean up spent fruit. If you have fallen apples/pears/plums, it’s crucial to clean up the fallen fruit (unless you have the freaking cloven-hooved devil’s spawn deer like I do, in which case, they’ll clean it up for you), because it can attract fruit flies, beetles, and even fungal rot. These are not things you want in your orchard the following season.

But when it comes to garden cleanup, don’t clean up everything. Pollinators, birds and other wildlife need food and shelter. Fallen leaves from trees will com post down and turn into what’s known as “leaf litter.” Decaying leaves provide organ ic matter to your soil, creating habitat for worms, insects and other organisms. The one exception to not cleaning up leaves is if disease has attacked them. You’ll want to clean up black spots on roses and leaf curl on peach leaves so they don’t infect plants the following year.

If you can stand the look of it, don’t cut back spent flowers on every single bloom ing thing you have in your yard or garden. I’d love to say it was on purpose but it was because of overwhelm and a touch of laziness that I never cut back the stalks on the cow parsnip that grows all over the place here on the coast. I was surprised, yet delighted, to watch a Downy wood pecker work on one of the spent stalks. The stalks are strong enough to hold the

bird’s weight, and there was a bonanza of little insects inside, which the wood pecker happily ate as I watched from a distance. Even if you have a small space, try to leave a bit of brush piled up in a spot or two. This will provide cover for wildlife, as well as spots for quail to lay their eggs next year. Don’t panic if you see damage on leaves, such as wisteria or roses, that look like something has been munching on them, making little half circles. These are from leaf cutter bees, native pollinators that use the cut leaves and flowers to make their nests.

Do clean up spent vines from toma toes, pumpkins, squash, peas, etc. As long as they aren’t infected with something nasty, you can put these in your compost pile, along with plenty of “brown” material. Straw or leaves make a good addition to the compost pile.

This is also one of the best times to plant shrubs and trees in your garden. The soil is still warm enough for root growth and, if we’re lucky and get rain, you won’t have to water them until next spring. You do need to water any new plants until we start getting significant rain, though, to

give them a good head start. As always, consider adding a native plant or two to your garden. Spring flowering bulbs are already showing up at local nurseries, as well as Costco. I snagged a bag of 50 daffodil bulbs I might even plant this year, rather than watching them turn green, then moldy because I never got around to them. Don’t be like me. Plant those bulbs! Lastly, take a look at what plants did well in your garden this year, and what might want to be moved or outright removed. It’s fun to ponder a new look in your yard or garden next year. As one of my coffee mugs says, a garden is never finished.

Tips for Throwing a Forced Birth Shower

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Who doesn’t love a baby shower, sitting around with a bunch of ladies playing guess the baby food flavor and griping about who came up with the idea to name their son Carbon first? But these days, as our bodily sovereignty is dwindling faster than a flat pitcher of mimosas in a room full of women whose faces hurt from smiling, sni ng diapers smeared with melted chocolate bars doesn’t always strike the right note. Face it, some of us will be carrying out pregnancies we don’t want, can’t a ord and maybe won’t survive. It’s time to shift to Forced Birth Showers® for our siblings, besties, children and coworkers with not a lot going on outside the o ce!

Invitations: Balloons and storks make sense when someone chooses the lifelong commitment to raising a child (or twins — Jesus, twins!) but when the guest of honor is just avoiding being a guest of the state, go for something understated. If you’re splashing out, you might try serving manila envelopes summons-style. Or, if you’re on a budget, send a terse email that reads, “Casey is pregnant and the only thing we can do is buy presents and eat a deli tray at my place. Bring liquor. Oh, and thanks for voting Republican, Candace.” (Avoid mentioning whether this pregnancy is the result of consensual sex — it’s tacky and will spoil the quiz at the party.)

Decorations: Again, steer clear of pastels and glitter here. Consider camo decorations, since you don’t want to attract the attention of neighbors who might sell out your pal if the pregnancy doesn’t go to term. Besides, if you have to flee under cover of darkness, you can repurpose the tablecloth. If you must do balloons, adorn them with the faces of every state o cial and U.S. Supreme Court justice who brought this theocratic fuckery into law so we can memorize them and never forget. This dovetails into a dart game later. Don’t forget a balloon for Candace.

The cake: Even if reproductive rights for everyone in the country were fully restored tomorrow, nobody wants a freaky belly cake or the fondant sculpture of a sleeping baby we have cut into. However, one of those horrific cakes with a baby emerging from its mother’s body could be a teaching opportunity provided it’s anatomically correct. What a great way to really make less sympathetic guests get a handle on what a torn perine-

um (shoutout to the rectovaginal septum — stay strong!), hemorrhaging and even a garden-variety episiotomy — snipping a wider exit in the opening of the vagina to avoid a more Kool-Aid Man-like exit — looks like. Birth is seldom shown in media as anything more than some dramatic yelling and hand squeezing, and the fallout of having a Costco-chicken-size baby pushed, pulled and/or cut from your body are almost never mentioned, despite the number of parents who struggle with, for example, returning to normal walking, sitting and bowel movements. And that’s when everything in the previous 39 weeks goes smoothly without say, diabetes or potentially deadly blood pressure issues. Whatever kind of cake you provide, practice baking a file in there, since in some states, even miscarriage or stillbirth can lead to being charged with murder.

Games: Here’s a fun one: Pin the Egg on the Uterine Lining. The contestant is blindfolded and spun, then dizzily tries to get a little pompom to stick to the right part of a felt uterus on the wall. Did you, like roughly 1 in 50 pregnancies, end up outside the fallopian tube where a fertilized egg cannot survive and may in fact cause you to die of sepsis or hemorrhaging? Depending on where you live, that may not be enough to get you the standard treatment of ending the pregnancy. There’s no moving the pompom, either, no matter what that dude from Ohio says. Good luck!

OK, everybody take out your phones and let’s see who can delete all the apps that might track your menstruation and narc on you to the man first. Because if we’ve learned anything it’s that tech bros do not care about our privacy. For those who date men, do another round deleting dating apps and another round ordering sex toys because given the attending risk factors and your limited options in the event of an unwanted pregnancy, hon, the price of dick is too damn high.

Gift ideas: Is the guest of honor Black? Jewelry makes a fine present, specifically a medical bracelet that reads, “Just pretend I’m a white lady and treat me accordingly.” It’s a blunt message but so is the recent study in the American Journal of Public Health that states being Black makes you more than three times more likely to die in pregnancy or postpartum. And while there’s little you can do to fix systemic healthcare disparities at your party, maybe an atten-

tion-getting accessory will remind hospital sta not to downplay or dismiss pain and symptoms of Black people for a hot second. Listen, they almost let Serena Williams die of a blood clot in that maternity ward. Not a bad gift idea for brown and Indigenous friends, either!

Give cash. Lots of cash. Unplanned pregnancies are a huge driver of poverty among both singles and marrieds, and maternity leave and childcare are hilarious in this country. Not to mention medical costs (doubles over and breathes into knees for just a minute). Forced childbirth can really derail educational goals that lead to higher income, too, like a high school diploma. Or you can pass along your pal’s Venmo and wait for those anti-abortion activists who hassled you on the way to your pap smear to kick in a couple grand each. Lol, kidding.

Guests can pitch in for a flight to somewhere a person’s bodily autonomy is enshrined in law and safe, legal abortions are widely accessible. Just for a vacation totally unrelated to any health issues. Unless you’re poor, in which case it’s a bus ticket to New York or California because evidently coastal elites are not that into forcing their citizens to give birth or even children barely in their teens to push out babies through still developing bodies.

Goodie bags: Send those of childbearing age any meds you can hoard, since people are being denied vital prescriptions for pain, depression, cancer, autoimmune diseases, ulcers and more because they could potentially cause miscarriage. Come on, Mamma needs some arthritis pills!

Hand out cute boxes of custom bandages that read, “Snitches get stitches,” to remind those who might narc on somebody for the bounty money. Say something, Candace. See what happens.

Most of all, focus on making it fun. What’s most important of all is gathering and supporting your pal — they’re who really matters. Well, not as much as a six-week embryo roughly the size of the Viagra pill that’s never going to be taken away from any man. But you know, after that. Cheers, ladies!

MNEIGHBORS EET OUR NEIGHBORS

Humboldt Brewing Company and Coffee House

Did you know that Humboldt Brewing Company was one of the first craft breweries in the country when it started 35 years ago? Owners, Dave and his sister, Julie, are excited to have found a new home in the old location of Mosgo’s, right next to Murphy’s Market in the Westwood neighborhood of Arcata.

They will be open during the day and continue making coffee as well as beer. “We want to keep it as what it was to an extent…a quiet atmosphere, not a bar,” says Dave.

“It’s a great space for students, neighborhoods, and families,” continues Dave, who also says they have big time gratitude for the hospitality Murphy’s Markets has shown

them. “A lot of folks from this neighborhood and Murphy’s are excited because there’s not much in this area of town,” he remarks. “The neighborhood needed a sit-down space and we’re thrilled to be able to provide it.” So if you’re looking for somewhere to study, work, meet, get together, or maybe even take a date, get ready to check out Humboldt Brewing Company Cafe and Brewhouse!

Jazz in the Bardo

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Ihave been trying to find a way to tie the works of the author Hilary Mantel with the music of Pharoah Sanders, and have been coming up bare, I’m afraid. Last week both died, leav ing this land of plangent weeping, fallen violence, and occasional delicious meals and orgasms, in favor of the fields in the Bardo reserved for those of our species who worked with the radiant fire of genius. In the case of Mantel, her historical novels proved conclusively the best way to hope to understand the unknowable, alien world of the past is through good fiction. If you haven’t read Wolf Hall yet, please do. You can thank me later.

Nothing I could hope to write about Sanders would do any service to his music, so I’ll just point out that no less than Albert Ayler considered himself, Sanders and John Coltrane as the Holy Trinity of saxophone players. I’ll cosign that.

Maybe there is a connection between these two disparate people, though. I’ve always felt true genius is revealed not in its incomprehensible splendor, but rather in its ability to translate complicated ideas to almost everyone, and with great ease. The fire of Prometheus was only inscrutable so long as it was solely in the possession of the jealous gods, kept dark to the world by their petty cruelty. Once it lit upon the tinder of the earth, it became the most recognizable thing in creation: The divine spark of inspiration, igniting the dull human clay into vessels of God’s own light. Through art, through music, through writing, through all our struggles to invent anew, we are bathed in its glow. And some among us, like Pharoah Sanders and Hilary Mantel, made a big glow of their own in the process.

Have a bright week.

Thursday

The Brevet is an Orange County band that plays a mixture of various genres, from surf rock to RnB, all sort of blended down and fed through a filter of radio-friendly indie pop. A lot of people like this stuff, including many of you out there, so I’ll withhold my own judgment and stick to

the facts: Humbrews, 8 p.m., $15, Sequoia Rose is opening. Bang.

Also, today kicks off Eureka’s sprawling, four-day Redwood Coast Music Festival, detailed in the Calendar on page 24.

Friday

Busy night tonight, with two very different, very big acts from yesteryear. First on the marquee is Matisyahu, the Brooklyn reggae crossover artist who started his career as a devout Hasid, although his music has transcended any notion of novelty as his career has grown and his public religiosity regarding the sect has diminished. You can catch him tonight at 7 p.m. at the Arcata Theatre Lounge ($35, $30 advance).

Two hours later and a mere single-kick skateboard roll away over at Humbrews, legendary old school punk band The Avengers hits the stage at 9 p.m. ($20, $18 advance). Known best for its contribution to the pre-hardcore days of punk’s panthe on, this four-decade-plus act has kept up a consistent cult following through a reliable and solid discography. Former Chimps provide support.

Saturday

The Pub is putting on an Oktoberfest party today at 1 p.m. There’s a big line-up of musical acts, so I’ll just hit some of the highlights: Scarub (of Living Legends fame), B. Swizlo’s Mystery Lounge (longtime funk keyboard extraordinaire plus a ton of local rappers), ska act Checkered Past and a load of DJs, including Goldylocks. Tickets are $15 at the door, $10 in advance.

If you missed it last night, now’s your second and last chance. I am of course talking about the opening performance of the Eureka Symphony, and this program looks hot. First up are a couple of pieces by Ukrainian composer Reinhard Glière, then the big event I’m excited for, Beethoven’s Third Symphony, “Eroica,” which is arguably

the exchange point hinge from the Classical to the Romantic era. I’ve never heard this one live, so put me in, coach, I’m ready. Catch it at the Arkley Center ($19-$49, rush tickets available at the box office at 7 p.m. starting at $10 for students).

Sunday

Miami-born, Los Angeles-based pop duo Magdalena Bay exists in the vacuum creat ed by the collapse of the vaporwave scene in the early 2010s. This project borrows from those sample-heavy, old Macintosh, synthy aesthetics to build a much big ger sound, like 1980s Japanese jazz and restaurant lounge music made stadium size. I enjoyed what I heard, and the real deal can be seen tonight at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 7 p.m. ($20). Bring your brightest dancing shoes.

Monday

Remember that brief period in the 1980s when it seemed like everything in American culture was being infiltrated for the first time by Australian artists? From new wave band Men at Work to actors Paul “Croc odile Dundee” Hogan and Yahoo Serious, the nation seemed poised for an Aussie invasion that, frankly, never came to be. My own favorite artifact from that era is the 1985 film Bliss, based on Peter Carey’s novel of the same name. Anyhoo, I’m just riffing right now because the Arcata Theatre Lounge has some musicians from Down Under in the house tonight at 8 p.m. ($20).

northcoastjournal.com

Ocean Alley is a sextet whose press release mentions surf and psychedelic rock, which I definitely hear down in the sound. How ever, at its core, the act is a very proficient, shimmery pop band with a sound like a mirage of beauty rolling off the strip where the blacktop meets the beach.

Tuesday

Do you like bluegrass music? Of course, you do — few people don’t around these parts. If you’re in the mood for seeing some live bluegrass music played by young pros, and for an unbeatable price ($10), then I suggest you mosey over to Humbrews at 8 p.m. There you will find one of North Carolina’s finest bluegrass quintets Fireside Collective doing what it does best. Viva.

Wednesday

The Jam is throwing another reggae night with DJ Sarge One Wise, among others. You know the sound, you know the dance, so the time is really the only missing component here (apart from the cover charge, which appears to be nil). Roll through any time after 9 p.m.

Collin Yeo (he/him) thinks that when Plutarch wrote: “The obligation of law and equity reach only to mankind, but kindness and beneficence should be extended to the creatures of every species,” he was pretty right on, for an ancient Roman. He lives in Arcata

Want to help to protect our coastal dune habitats and support free outdoor education for local schools? Do you love wine, cheese and dessert? Well, naturally.

Tickets are available at Wildberries, the center or online at friendsofthedunes.org/winebythesea.

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

Confess, Fletch and Pearl

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

CONFESS, FLETCH. To a vast, often problematic swath of the population (read: Gen X white guys, to whom I am only gen erationally adjacent, thanks very much), Chevy Chase is as a god. This is due in part, of course, to his SNL antics, Clark Griswold and his, in hindsight, surprisingly minor, world-devouring turn in Caddyshack (1980). But it is Chase’s rendering of Irwin M. Fletcher in Fletch (1985), from Grego ry McDonald’s series of mystery-solving reporter novels, that spawned a million shaky impersonations and made him a successful, if unlikely leading man for the next decade.

I’ve seen and enjoyed Fletch — maybe even Fletch Lives (1989), I can’t really recall — but it wasn’t a particularly formative text. Funny? Sure, and kind of sexy in the mildly uncomfortable style of movies borne of the transition from the prior decade. And, full disclosure: I certainly put in my time with my VHS copy of Three Amigos (1986). But recasting Fletch poses no threat to the sanctity of my remem bered childhood. If it does yours, well, write a song about it and pitch it to your other dad-band sad sacks.

Jon Hamm, on the other hand, is an actor (star?) for whom I’ve long wished an appropriate starring vehicle. He shall al ways be the Don Draper of our dreamless drunken dreams, but we have had it on good information for some time now that the guy’s got jokes; a shame Hollywood

has all but abandoned comedy. Before the genre is ground completely to dust, though, Confess, Fletch has managed to sneak in, albeit primarily via streaming.

The fact that a clever, modestly scaled comedy whodunnit with charisma and sex appeal has to sneak anywhere is disheart ening, and speaks to tragic developments both in the collective consciousness and in the movie business. But Confess, Fletch is here now and I should be glad.

I’ve yet to read any of McDonald’s source material but, as I understand it, his Fletch is less grandstanding goof than Chase made him, more sardonic and ca pable. And that is the character as Hamm plays it, prone to muttered asides, apt to be bested in physical contest, but cleverer and smarter than most.

After a brief Roman holiday leads to a romantic entanglement, Fletch makes his way to Boston, where he trips over a dead body and falls into a murder investigation set against an intercontinental art heist.

Doggedly pursued by Detective Monroe (Roy Wood, Jr.), a Celtic to his Laker, Fletch quickly becomes a person of interest in multiple felonies and must conduct his own investigation while ducking tails and infiltrating the yacht-clubbing Northeast blue-bloodery.

Admittedly, I’m a sucker for noir and detective stories reimagined in contem porary settings, so the briefest of plot sketches had me intrigued. But, as is so

You can take the pumpkin spice latte from my cold, dead hands. Pearl

rarely the case, Confess, Fletch rose to and exceeded my expectations. Hamm and the supporting cast (including Marcia Gay Harden positively chewing on a bad Italian accent and John Slattery cursing like a sailor) play it cool without really trying, rendering a perfectly balanced blend of suspense and humor. Director Greg Mottola (Superbad, 2007; Adventureland, 2009) orchestrates the affair with aplomb, lending a sort of effortless style to each frame and maintaining a consistently compelling, never rushed pace. Character name notwithstanding, I didn’t think of Chevy Chase in an Afro wig; not once. R. 93M. AMAZON PRIME.

PEARL. Earlier this year, writer/director Ti West broke a long feature dry spell with X, a paean to the roots of indie horror filmed entirely in New Zealand during the pandemic. An end credits teaser promised more — a color-saturated origin story of sorts. We would then come to learn that West and star/co-writer Mia Goth had conceived this prequel, set 60 years before the events of X, while quarantined in their respective hotel rooms, waiting for production to commence. And further, that they had undertaken the ambitious project of shooting both movies in se quence.

And so now we have Pearl, a sort-of throwback to the Technicolor Cinemas cope extravaganzas of a bygone era, a tale of stifled dreams corrupted into homicidal rage.

In the depths of the Spanish influenza pandemic and the winding down of the Great War, Pearl (Goth) is largely home bound, caring for her debilitated father and subject to the military discipline of her German born mother. With her husband serving in Europe, Pearl is starved for affection and dreams of stage stardom. The movie palace and its handsome pro jectionist (David Corenswet) offer momen tary respite from reality, and an upcoming audition for a touring dance company dangles the chance of escape. But we already know whence this chapter leads.

On first watch, Pearl feels maybe-too deliberate in its pacing, maybe a little too enamored of its own aesthetic achieve ments. Upon reflection, though, the movie meets its own ambitions admirably, creating something distinct from its osten sible homage. And there is, again, another chapter in the offing. R. 102M.

Free Will Astrology

Week of Sept. 29, 2022

By Rob Brezsny freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Poet Susan Howe describes poetry as an “amorous search under the sign of love for a remembered time at the pitch-dark fringes of evening when we gathered to gether to bless and believe.” I’d like to use that lyrical assessment to describe your life in the coming days—or at least what I hope will be your life. In my astrological opinion, it’s a favorable time to intensify your quest for interesting adventures in intimacy; to seek out new ways to imagine and create togetherness; to collaborate with allies in creating brave excursions into synergy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Social reformer Frederick Doug lass (1817-1895) had a growlery. It was a one-room stone cabin where he escaped to think deep thoughts, work on his books, and literally growl. As a genius who escaped enslavement and spent the rest of his life fighting for the rights of his fellow Black people, he had lots of reasons to snarl, howl, and bellow as well as growl. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to find or create your own growlery, Taurus. The anger you feel will be especially likely to lead to constructive changes. The same is true about the deep thoughts you summon in your growlery: They will be extra potent in helping you reach wise practical decisions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “Conduct your blooming in the noise and whip of the whirlwind,” wrote Gemini poet Gwendolyn Brooks. I love that advice! The whirlwind is her metaphor for the chaos of everyday life. She was telling us that we shouldn’t wait to ripen ourselves until the daily rhythm is calm and smooth. Live wild and free right now! That’s always good advice, in my opinion, but it will be especially apropos for you in the coming weeks. Now is your time to “endorse the splendor splashes” and “sway in wicked grace,” as Brooks would say.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) “Don’t look away,” advised novelist Henry Miller in a letter to his lover. “Look straight at everything. Look it all in the eye, good and bad.” While that advice is ap pealing, I don’t endorse it unconditionally. I’m a Cancerian, and I sometimes find value in gazing at things sideways, or catching reflections in mirrors, or even turning my attention away for a while. In my view, we Crabs have a special need to be self-pro tective and self-nurturing. And to accomplish that, we may need to be evasive and elusive. In my astrological opinion, the next two weeks will be one of these times. I urge you to gaze directly and engage point-blank only with what’s good for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Play at least as hard as you work. 2. Give yourself permission to do anything that has integrity and is fueled by compassion. 3. Assume there is no limit to how much generous joie de vivre you can summon and express. 4. Fondle and nuzzle with eager partners as much as possible. And tell them EXACTLY where and how it feels good. 5. Be magnanimous in every ges ture, no matter how large or small. 6. Even if you don’t regard yourself as a skillful singer, use singing to transform yourself out of any mood you don’t want to stay in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, you should refrain from wrestling with problems that resist your solutions. Be discerning about how you use your superior analytical abil ities. Devote yourself solely to manageable dilemmas that are truly responsive to your intelligent probing. PS: I feel sorry for people who aren’t receptive to your input, but you can’t force them to give up their ignorance or suffering. Go where you’re wanted. Take power where it’s offered. Meditate on the wisdom of Anaïs Nin: “You cannot save people. You can only love them.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh was born under the sign of Libra. He said, “The root-word ‘Buddha’ means to wake up, to know, to understand; and he or she who wakes up and understands is called a Buddha.” So

northcoastjournal.com

according to him, the spiritual teacher Siddhartha Gautama who lived in ancient India was just one of many Buddhas. And by my astrological reckoning, you will have a much higher chance than usual to be like one of these Buddhas yourself in the coming weeks. Waking up will be your specialty. You will have an extraordinary capacity to burst free of dreamy illusions and murky misapprehensions. I hope you take full advantage. Deeper understandings are nigh.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I invite you to be the sexiest, most intriguing, most mysterious Scorpio you can be in the coming weeks. Here are ideas to get you started. 1. Sprinkle the phrase “in accordance with prophecy” into your conversations. 2. Find an image that symbolizes rebirth and revitalization arising out of disruption. Meditate on it daily until you actually experience rebirth and revitalization arising out of disruption. 3. Be kind and merciful to the young souls you know who are living their first lifetimes. 4. Collect deep, dark secrets from the interesting people you know. Employ this information to plan how you will avoid the trouble they endured. 5. Buy two deluxe squirt guns and two knives made of foam rubber. Use them to wage playful fights with those you love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s an ancient Greek saying, “I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed.” I regard that as a fine motto for you Sagittarians. When you are at your best and brightest, you are in quest of the truth. And while your quests may sometimes disturb the status quo, they often bring healthy transformations. The truths you discover may rattle routines and disturb habits, but they ultimately lead to greater clarity and authenticity. Now is an excellent time to emphasize this aspect of your nature.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s imagine you are in your office or on the job or sitting at your kitchen table. With focused diligence, you’re working on solving a problem or improving a situation that involves a number of people. You think to your self, “No one seems to be aware that I am quietly toiling here behind the scenes to make the magic happen.” A few days or a few weeks later, your efforts have been successful. The problem is resolved or the situation has improved. But then you hear the people involved say, “Wow, I wonder what happened? It’s like things got fixed all by themselves.” If a scenario like this happens, Capricorn, I urge you to speak up and tell everyone what actually transpired.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To honor your entrance into the most expansive phase of your astrological cycle, I’m calling on the counsel of an intuitive guide named Nensi the Mer cury Priestess. She offers the following advice. 1. Cultivate a mindset where you expect something unexpected to happen. 2. Fantasize about the possibility of a surprising blessing or unplanned-for miracle. 3. Imagine that a beguiling breakthrough will erupt into your rhythm. 4. Shed a few preconceptions about how your life story will unfold in the next two years. 5. Boost your trust in your deep self’s innate wisdom. 6. Open yourself more to receiving help and gifts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Colin Wilson describes sex as “a craving for the mingling of consciousness, whose symbol is the mingling of bodies. Every time partners slake their thirst in the strange waters of the other’s identity, they glimpse the immensity of their freedom.” I love this way of understanding the erotic urge, and recommend you try it out for a while. You’re entering a phase when you will have extra power to refine and expand the way you experience blending and merging. If you’re fuzzy about the meaning of the words “synergy” and “symbiosis,” I suggest you look them up in the dictionary. They should be featured themes for you in the coming weeks. l

Thursday, Sept. 29,

Homework: What’s the best change you could make that would be fairly easy to accomplish?

‘All Happy Now’ Beneath the Milky Way

By David Wilson newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

Peter Santino completed his “All Happy Now” earth sculpture in 2008 but I only became aware of it last semester, when one of my College of the Redwoods students shared a photograph of it in class after an afternoon hike in the Humboldt Botanical Garden.

I was mesmerized at the scale of the art piece, by the spiral pathway that takes the traveler up from one side of the dirt track at its base a quarter of a mile to the top, and then a quarter of a mile back down on the other side in perfect symmetry without retracing a step. It is a half-mile, gently sloping walk contained entirely within this 100-foot-diameter mound.

The earth sculpture is situated above a vista I had desired for years to include in a nighttime photograph: a view looking out over the CR campus and across the valley, with the Milky Way in the sky above it all. I was astonished when I found “All Happy Now” sat in the foreground.

In my mind’s eye, I saw that at this time of year the spiral mound would interact powerfully with the rising Milky Way, a light spear of celestial origin sent to pierce the earthen ring of light. Or perhaps the sculpture was the source of light and the Milky Way shone forth from the mound itself in some mys terious interaction with the heavens. Or neither? That story will be left to the mind of the beholder. By the good graces of the universe, circumstances came together for me to finally capture that vista at a time of year when the extraterrestrial elements could line up just so with the mound.

The word “photography” is a combi nation of two words from Greek roots that mean “light” (photo) and “painting or drawing” (graph). Thus, I think of

photography as “painting with light.” Sometimes, this is more literal than others. This image is literally a light painting.

A photograph like this cannot simply be “tak en,” as so many snapshots are. Capturing the im age was a process that began with pre-visualization and ended after many attempts to paint and capture the light just right. I was happy to have the help of my CR colleague Sean Patton. Over the course of about an hour and a half, we took about 20 photos from this cam era position to get the lighting the way I had envisioned.

The core of the Milky Way galaxy rises in the night sky above the “All Happy Now” Earth sculpture at Humboldt Botanical Gardens. The sign reads, “Peter Santino’s All Happy Now Earth Sculpture is the only one of its kind in North America. It is a merger of two ancient landscape architectural features, the ziggurat and the labyrinth. Based on a mathematical equation named Fermat’s Spiral, the 100foot diameter earth mound is covered with grass and features two non-intersecting quarter mile pathways which take the walker to the center and back down out the opposite side.”

the vision to create “All Happy Now” in the early 2000s and, while I don’t know him personally, in a way we’re now con nected through our art.

Patton helped me by staying up with my camera to open and close the shutter as needed, while I “painted” the scene in with light: I’d walk around the perimeter, painting strokes of light onto the trail and mound with my light wand like a paint brush. The exposures ranged from 30 seconds to several minutes. Af ter each attempt at painting the scene, I’d evaluate the results and then paint again — for while I am painting, I’m unable to see the results. To me and any observer, I’m just a guy walking around in the dark with a light. After around 20 attempts, I had the scene illuminated just so.

It struck me as I made this image that it was in some way an asynchronous col laboration between artists. Santino had

Marilyn Robertson

February 1933 - September 2022

Marilyn L. (Paxton) Robertson of Eureka passed peacefully on September 1, 2022, age 89.

Marilyn was born February 13, 1933 in San Bernardino,, the eldest of four children. She moved to northern California in the early ‘50s with her first husband, Willard Watts, and two small children, Linda and Tony Watts. She later began working for the phone company, where she met and married James “Fuzzy” Robertson. They purchased the current home in 1958 and had three children together - Joe, Ruthie and Lori - and a step-son, Jimmy Robertson, joined their blended family. Marilyn balanced homemaking, child-rearing and outside employment with PG&E and Dr. Richard Wissinger.

“One year, she was room mother at Freshwater School and transformed herself into the Wicked Witch of the West ( complete with full green makeup, pointed hat and cackle) and even scared her own children who didn’t know who she was,” fondly remembers her sister-in-law, Roxie Paxton. Fuzzy was a teamster and retired from the short-haul trucking industry and together they delighted in spending time with the grandchildren.

Everyone who knew her will miss her intelligence, love for the wildlife, and her fresh tortilla & beans dinners with the family! She was very creative and talented - sewing Halloween costumes and clothes for her kids; making popcorn balls for the neighborhood parties; whistling to her kids for them to come home; her attachment to the wringer washers for doing the family laundry and drying the clothes on the line!

Marilyn was preceded in death by daughter Linda, husband Fuzzy, grandson Cody Watts, step-son Jimmy Robertson; her parents and three siblings. Surviving her are her children Tony & Marilee Watts (Reno), Joe (Eureka), Ruthie Robertson & Paul Shoen (Gardnerville, Nevada) and Lori & Mike Koehnen (Chico); brother Tim and Roxie Paxton, Eureka; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held in the future.
