A staffing ‘crisis’ has law enforcement triaging while grasping for answers

BY THADEUS GREENSON

In Eureka, officers are working an emergency schedule built on 12.5hour shifts and mandatory overtime, as the police department’s once touted Problem Oriented Policing and Community Safety Engagement teams operate with skeletal staffing.

In Arcata, two detectives have been pulled back to patrol and all calls for service that don’t involve someone in danger have been deprioritized, while proactive policing continued on page 10 >>

S

ince time immemorial, the Yurok people have called the coastal area north of Trinidad — located in the heart of their ancestral lands — Sue-meg. Now, some 170 years after the name was usurped, the 1-square-mile property with meadows, forest lands and long beaches stretched out below soaring cliffs will officially be known as Sue-meg State Park.

The State Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously Sept. 30 to — as one commissioner said — “restore the name” to the unit originally designated as Patrick’s Point State Park.

“Reclaiming a name is really the core to this,” Commissioner Sara Barth said, noting she did not consider the decision a “renaming.” “It’s restoring a name that was inappropriately taken.”

The change is the first for a State Park under California’s “Reexamining Our Past Initiative,” which was launched by the state last year to address what California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot described as “historic names that stem from a dark legacy that includes discrimination, violence and inequity.”

California State Parks Director Armando Quintero, who appeared emotional as the final vote was cast, his hands clasped together in front of his face, called the decision “a momentous step to heal relationships with Native Americans and working together in recognition and honor of indigenous cultural and linguistic relationships.”

Several members of the Yurok Tribe talked to the commission about the importance of giving the land back its rightful name and removing the moniker that referred to Patrick Beegan, an Irish immigrant who briefly laid claim to the jutting peninsula in the 1850s as whites infiltrated the area amid the gold rush.

Historians believe Beegan to be responsible for numerous atrocities, including the murders of Native Americans, among them a young Yurok boy.

He lost the property after fleeing law enforcement in connection with the killing.

Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph L. James said the historic Sept. 30 decision was a move toward healing.

“Indigenous people across the world … are either watching or listening and looking at the opportunity we have here today,” he said. “By renaming Sue-meg back … that’s bringing balance back to us as Yurok people.”

Yurok Tribal Heritage Preservation Officer Rosie Clayborn spoke of the attempted genocide and destruction of Indigenous communities that occurred after contact, with Native people subjected to institutionalized violence and driven from their ancestral lands, their families ripped apart as children were forcibly sent to boarding schools in an attempted to strip them of their culture.

Not all of them came home.

“My ancestors and Yurok ancestors fought hard to stay connected to this place that we call Sue-meg and surrounding places. They fought with their lives,” she said, noting the name of the boy killed by Beegan was never documented in the official records of the time, and that he will never receive full justice for what was done to him.

“But what we can do,” she said, “is honor their legacy by using our language.”

Clayborn began choking up as she related how such intergenerational traumas are not long in the past, sayings she’s had the opportunity to talk with Yurok elders who were among those taken from their homes and sent to boarding schools. The scars of what they endured — including the beatings they received for speaking their language — are still evident, she said.

Restoring the name Sue-meg, Clayborn said, carries a great meaning to the Yurok people and is an act that bridges both the past and the future.

“It gives a more balanced and just

world for not only Yurok children but to all children.”

The “Reexamining Our Past Initiative” that led to the designation of Sue-meg State Park builds on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s formal apology in 2019 for the state’s systemic role in the attempted genocide of Native communities and efforts to annihilate their cultures. Newsom’s initiative also set up the tribally-led Truth and Healing Council to “correct the historical record and acknowledge wrongdoings.”

Terry Supahan, director of the faithbased True North Organizing Network, which has formed an intertribal committee on name changes, applauded the decision in a news release.

“This is about a healing journey and a pathway forward,” he said. “It is so important to our communities throughout Northern California that we recognize the genocide that Indigenous people have experienced here, and move toward ‘settling up’ and making things right, so that we can work together to care for special land and to be responsible for climate change.”

Along with his apology and formation of Truth and Healing Council, last year the governor also launched California’s “30 by 30” initiative, which aims to conserve 30 percent of state land and

coastal waters by 2030 through voluntary efforts with Native American tribes and private landowners, as well as federal and local governments.

“The renaming of Sue-meg State Park is a major first step toward respecting Indigenous traditional knowledge of how to steward these lands appropriately,” Skip Lowry, a local father of Yurok, Mountain Maidu and Pit River descent, said in a release. “We hope that this is the beginning of true consultation and collaboration between California government agencies and native Tribes on ancestral territories now known as state parks, national parks and public lands.”

When Sue-meg State Park — a 600acre property that stretches from north of Trinidad up past Agate Beach — was brought into California State Park’s fold nearly 100 years ago, the area was already well known as Patrick’s Point in reference to Beegan and so the name remained, until now.

Long before, however, Sue-meg was an integral cultural and trading center for the Yurok people. In the 1970s, the place was chosen as the reburial site for the remains of tribal ancestors returned by the State Parks Department in a landmark case.

Walt Lara Sr., who served for seven years on the Native American Heritage

Commission of California — which was a key litigate in the case and instrumental in securing protections for Native graves and burial sites — spoke at the Sept.

30 hearing about the ceremony, saying there were no Yurok prayers to address the moment, so a tribal elder created one.

“It more or less was, ‘We’re putting our people back to rest again and leave them be and don’t bother them anymore,’” Lara told the commissioners.

Now 86, Lara also participated in the original construction of the Sue-meg Village at the park in the 1980s, an effort led by tribal members Dewey George, Jimmy James and others using traditional skills, and he is now overseeing restoration of the Yurok ceremonial site.

Lara told the commissioners he feels very good about seeing the name Suemeg restored to the land.

“The governor gave an apology to our people and this will seal it as far as I’m concerned,” he said. l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the Journal’s digital editor. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 323, or kim@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on Twitter @kimberly_wear.

Toward a Sustainable Blue Economy Symposium focuses on harnessing the promise of the coast

By Elaine Weinreb

T

he perennial conflict between environmental conservation and economic development may now be in remission, the crisis of climate change increasingly pushing industries into cooperation with environmental goals. One such path of co-existence, at least along the California coast, is the “Sustainable Blue Economy,” defined by the World Bank as the “the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems.”

A three-day symposium on the “Sustainable Blue Economy” was held virtually last week, sponsored by California Sea Grant, the Humboldt Bay Initiative and several local consulting firms. The symposium featured scientists, community activists and an economist, as well as government officials of all denominations, ranging from county planners to the head of a state agency.

The keynote speaker was Wade Crowfoot, secretary of California’s Natural Resources Agency, an umbrella agency that supervises the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Ocean Protection Council, the Coastal Commission, the Coastal Conservancy and numerous other environmental agencies.

People identify climate action with electric vehicles or solar panels on roofs, Crowfoot said, but we also need to elevate the role of nature in helping us

combat the climate crisis.

“Humboldt Bay is one of the most beautiful places in the world,” Crowfoot said. “However, it faces different challenges than any other area in the state.

Coastal communities face a daunting set of threats, and need resources … so that these communities can continue to thrive decades into the future, even as climate effects intensify.”

Crowfoot noted that the budget signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last week includes $15 billion for climate action.

“We have the leadership, we have the resources and we have some very clear targets to achieve,” he said, praising the proposed offshore wind farm, which he said would be located 17 miles off the coast, with no impacts on the viewshed, and minimal impacts to fishermen.

Humboldt Bay is also becoming a hub of ocean-related products. Already producing 70 percent of the state’s oysters, the harbor has also started developing seaweed farms.

“Last year, Humboldt State University established the first commercial seaweed farm in Humboldt Bay,” said Rafael Cuevas Uribe, associate professor of the Fisheries Biology Department at HSU, adding that the university is the only place in California where a student can prepare for a career in fisheries biology with a concentration on aquaculture.

He noted that this was a good opportunity for local farmers, instead of

mega-corporations, to take charge. “In Arcata we know that local businesses are the key,” he said. “That’s what I want to create in Humboldt Bay.” Marine scientist Karin Gray, a consultant with GreenWave, discussed seaweed farming as a nature-based solution that can help regenerate the ocean ecosystem, while creating jobs and providing food.

Gray noted that the farm has already had two successful harvests of dulse, a commercially valuable seaweed. Next year, HSU hopes to start a bull kelp farm.

“Bull kelp was an obvious choice, not only because it was growing naturally in the Bay, but also because of the unprecedented decline of California’s kelp forests,” said Uribe. According to an HSU publication, kelp can be used for human consumption, animal feed, agricultural fertilizer and as a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic.

The loss of the kelp forests was described during the next day of the conference by Sarah Gravem, an ecologist at Oregon State University. Starfish, or sea stars, to use their proper name, have almost disappeared along the Pacific Coast over the past several years, resulting in drastic changes to the underwater coastal ecosystem (“The Plight of the Abalone,” March 8, 2018). Victims of a gruesome viral disease, the sea stars once visible in every tide pool have died off, allowing their chief prey, the sea urchin, to grow and multiply without restraint. Sea ur-

chins feed on kelp and without predation from sea stars, the urchins have devastated the kelp forests that provide food and habitat to numerous sea creatures. The results are analogous to clear-cutting a land-based forest: Nothing is left.

More than 5.75 billion sea stars have died, Gravem said, putting the creatures on the “critically endangered species” list. The exact cause of the epidemic is unknown, although sea warming resulting from climate change is suspected to be a critical factor.

Scientists and citizen naturalists have joined forces to try to save the kelp forests, with a group called the Oregon Kelp Alliance diving into the water and removing sea urchins by hand. Scientists are also trying to raise baby sea stars in captivity, where they can be kept safe from the epidemic. Graven asked audience members to report viewings of sea stars to the phone app iNaturalist, or to the website www.seastarwasting.org.

The other half of the sustainability equation is allowing the coastline to do its natural job of separating the ocean from the land.

When white settlers moved into the Humboldt Bay area, they made massive changes in the shoreline in an attempt to dry out saltmarshes and create more agricultural land. In an age of rising sea levels caused by climate change, this landscape is no longer tenable. Now, government planners are turning more and more to “nature-based solutions” to sea-level rise.

Several ongoing projects hope to combine public safety with improved opportunities for recreation.

Katie Marsolan, a planner with the city of Eureka, discussed the rehabilitation of the Elk River Estuary. This forlorn section of the Elk River near the mouth of Humboldt Bay, occupies 114 acres of city property purchased in the 1980s for the development of the wastewater treatment plant. A large section of the property, formerly used as a dumping site for biosolids from the treatment plant, has been converted to pastureland. Another part consists of mudflats covered with invasive Spartina grass. The city plans to remove the tide gates from the mouth of the Elk River, allowing for more natural tidal action in the area, eliminate the Spartina, and re-configure the topography to allow public access.

The enhanced floodplain will help protect the nearby highway from coastal flooding. When completed, there will be 2.8 miles of navigable channels, areas for coastal native plants and a 1-mile extension of the Eureka Waterfront Trail, as well as a new non-motorized boat launch

providing access to both the river and the bay.

The Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge recently completed another project, restoring the historic flow of Salmon Creek into Hookton Slough.

Previous man-made changes to the area had converted acres of saltmarsh into poor quality pastureland. With the aid of $693,000 is grants, the saltmarshes have been restored, creating more natural resilience to storms and sea level rise.

Other restorative projects are being planned for the Jacoby Creek wetland area.

There are many obstacles to community-based efforts to fend off sea-level rise. One thorny problem is the simple fact that low-income people, at least in Humboldt, tend to live in the areas most vulnerable to inundation, such as King Salmon and Fairhaven. Many of these residents are older people, whose lifetime wealth consists of the investment in their houses. Farmworkers also live in low-cost housing that is scattered across the bottomlands. Where would these people move and how could they afford to move in today’s hyper-inflated real estate market?

One planner said a key will be building a lot of affordable housing, a laudable goal, but one which has proven challenging. Adam Canter, the natural resources specialist of the Wiyot Tribe, warned that the area’s tribes, with their centuries of Indigenous knowledge, must be included in all regional planning.

Another problem could be the California Coastal Act, itself. Written 40 years ago to make sure the coastline remained accessible to Californians of all income levels, planners say some aspects of the law are impeding needed adaptations.

John Driscoll, the district representative for Congressmember Jared Huffman, also warned that future-oriented planning could be threatened by technologies from the past, such as a proposed coal train, which he compared to an effort defeated decades ago to bring a liquefied natural gas plant to Humboldt.

“We have some areas on Humboldt Bay that can be developed, but we don’t have infinite room,” he said. “We have this opportunity and we can’t squander it on the old ways of doing things.” ● Elaine Weinreb (she/her) is a freelance journalist.

COVID Surge Could Stretch into 2022

W

hile Humboldt County’s latest — and most deadly — COIVD-19 surge appears to be on the downward slope, the descent is likely to be a slow one that could extend “well into next year,” with occasional mini-surges, according to county Health Officer Ian Hoffman.

“Today’s COVID-19 case rates have dropped to the lowest rate they’ve been in the past two months. However, case rates remain very high, higher than they were during the peak of the previous surges in winter and spring of this past year,” he said in a written report to the board of supervisors.

If the state’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” were still being used, Humboldt would fall into the highest risk level — the purple tier — and under the U.S. Centers for Disease Control data tracker, the county continues to be in the “Red, High Transmission” tier, his report states.

“The worst is not over yet and we need to remain vigilant,” Hoffman said at a Sept.

29 news conference.

In the latest round of genomic sequencing, the Delta variant accounted for 98 percent of Humboldt County cases, Hoffman said. It is, he said, “the vastly, predominantly overwhelming variant that is out there now and it has taken over them all.”

A state database shows 17 people hospitalized with COVID-19 locally as of Oct. 5, with five under intensive care. The local hospital census peaked Sept. 3 with 42 COVID-19 patients.

Hoffman and other county health officials continue to emphasize the importance of vaccination, with Public Health Director Sofia Pereira saying, “That continues to be our best shot to get through this pandemic together.”

With each successive surge of COVID cases, younger and younger nonvaccinated people are being hospitalized — including many in their 20s and 30s — with some dying, including residents in their 40s and 50s, Hoffman said.

That is not the case with the fully vaccinated, with hospitalizations and deaths due to the virus in that group being tied to older age and underlying health conditions, Hoffman said at the news conference.

“We will likely continue to see more hospitalizations and deaths over the coming weeks, as those are the most lagging indicators for COVID-19 during a surge in cases,” the health officer wrote in his report for the supervisors. “Based on current COVID-19 national modeling, we could see cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue throughout the remainder of 2021, and into the spring of 2022.”

Hoffman said vaccination rates have

He emphasized that those who are in priority groups for the Pfizer booster — including residents 65 and older, those who live in high-risk, long-term care facilities, those with certain underlying medical conditions or who are at increased risk of exposure at work — should get their shot six months after their second dose, if they

received Pfizer as their original vaccine.

So far this school year, the county has found only one COVID-19 outbreak associated with a classroom. Hoffman and Pereira said Public Health is working with districts and campuses to keep schools safe and they are not seeing widespread transmission in classrooms.

A staffing ‘crisis’ has law enforcement triaging while grasping for answers

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

n Eureka, officers are working an emergency schedule built on 12.5-hour shifts and mandatory overtime, as the police department’s once touted Problem Oriented Policing and Community Safety Engagement teams operate with skeletal staffing.

In Arcata, two detectives have been pulled back to patrol and all calls for service that don’t involve someone in danger have been deprioritized, while proactive policing measures — like traffic enforcement in front of local schools or a detail to address the problematic group of homeless people doing drugs and relieving themselves in public near the Arcata Community Center — have been shelved.

For the Humboldt County Sheriff’s

10

Office, 12-hour schedules and mandatory overtime — with deputies working holidays and weekends and days off — have become the norm. Resident deputy posts sit vacant while regular rural patrols and around-the-clock coverage of outlying areas have been abandoned for the time being. Amid a pandemic, deputies are afraid to call in sick for fear of leaving their co-workers stretched even thinner while the county looks to renegotiate police services contracts with the cities of Blue Lake and Trinidad because it can’t deliver the promised regular patrols. Some nights, just eight deputies are left to cover the county’s almost 4,000 square miles of unincorporated territory.

“That’s a lot of ground to cover,” says

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal over the phone, frustration evident in his voice.

Humboldt County’s largest law enforcement agencies are all struggling to recruit and retain officers, mirroring state and national trends that see higher rates of officers retiring or otherwise leaving the profession, with a shallowing pool of applicants signing up to replace them. The issue isn’t new — we wrote about it in these pages in January of 2020 (“Recruitment and Retention”) — but it seems to be getting worse, not better.

The reasons are myriad — what some describe as a “perfect storm” of challenges facing the profession — but the result is that agencies are vying for any and all

recruitment and retention advantages.

Officials are also increasingly looking for outside-the-box solutions to maximize officers’ time and have non-sworn personnel respond to calls that don’t necessarily demand the presence of a badge and a gun.

The Storm

College of the Redwoods’ Police Academy once turned away scores of applicants, with its program capped at 40 students a semester. But, currently, it has just a dozen cadets enrolled. And that’s not a problem unique to CR. Academies across the country are reporting fewer applicants.

Nationwide, a Police Executive Research Firm survey earlier this year found departments were seeing an overall decrease of 5

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

HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ON ZILLOW: percent in their hiring rates in the 20202021 fiscal year, with smaller departments reporting an average vacancy rate of near 9 percent. Perhaps most alarming, the survey found resignations increased 18 percent, while retirements were up 45 percent.

Ask local law enforcement leaders why fewer people seem to be going into policing and you’ll find there’s not shortage of answers. First, it’s a grueling job — one that generally necessitates nontraditional hours and witnessing high rates of trauma, all with the knowledge that returning home at the end of a shift isn’t a given. But those factors aren’t new and have always been inherent in policing.

But there’s no denying the climate around policing has changed. What started as the so-called “Ferguson effect” in reference to the 2014 police shooting of unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown, spawning protests across the nation, rose to unprecedented levels in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. Floyd’s killing set off waves of protests across the nation and sparked intense dialogues about policing in America, with calls to “defund the police,” renewed scrutiny of the impacts of racial bias and increased demands for accountability in the profession, including the criminal prosecutions of officers who use excessive or unwarranted force.

“There’s an environment right now where they’re looking to make examples of cops,” EPD Chief Steve Watson says.

“Throw this on top of what is already a really challenging job with often unrealistic expectations, and it’s a lot.”

APD Chief Brian Ahearn says he’d like to see an academic institution do some real research on the subject to find more definitive answers but agreed that technology and the push for police accountability have markedly changed the expectations of the job.

“The expectations now are almost unattainable in terms of having to be perfect every time and out on every call and in every situation,” he says. “We recruit and retain from the human race and humans are imperfect.”

And that extends way beyond critical incidents, Ahearn says, explaining that bodyworn cameras have become the industry standard, meaning an officer’s interactions will be dissected by their supervisors, juries and defense attorneys and the public,

with near perfection as the standard. That feeling of always being under a microscope, coupled with the push for police accountability — from prosecutions to civil lawsuits — could cause someone looking to make a positive difference in their community to choose a different career path, Ahearn says.

“We have to be held to a higher standard — we have to,” he says. “We need to be judged about the service we provide and the manner in which we provide it, and that needs to happen not only inside the organization but outside as well. But does that require some soul searching, much more than when I decided to enter the profession 35 years ago? It probably does because you’re exposing yourself and your family to that degree of evaluation and scrutiny.

It really can multiply the pressure and stress on officers and their families.”

Ahearn pauses for moment before concluding: “I think some people are choosing other occupations when perhaps they would have chosen law enforcement before.”

The nature of policing has also changed markedly in recent decades, as officers spend an increasing percentage of their time tasked with mitigating the quality of life impacts of homeless populations, those suffering from mental illness and grappling with addiction. Watson calls it the “tragic triad.”

“The cops are there to fill the gaps in an under-resourced system,” he says. “You call and they’re going to respond. When I came into law enforcement, I had a picture in my head: I was going to be chasing bank robbers and arresting murderers and rapists. Well, the job today is so much more complex and wide, and we are being asked to do things that don’t meet the traditional mold.”

Ahearn points out that the burden of these societal problems also continues to fall disproportionately to officers even as courts and lawmakers have repeatedly weighed in to say they should not be law enforcement issues.

“Community police departments are left trying to strike an impossible balance,” he says.

Over the past 18 months, officers have also been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, which officials say has added layers of stress, both from increased risk of exposure to just seeing more

desperation in calls for service involving people increasingly living on the economic margins or with deteriorating mental health.

Watson says the local housing market — which has seen median home prices jump 20 percent over the past year to $405,000, according to Zillow — also poses challenges, saying he recently had an officer leave after they spent nine months looking to buy a house.

“It wasn’t their first choice to move but they just didn’t feel like they could find a house for their growing family here,” he says.

Just Compensation

Back in 2014, when years of budget cuts had taken a toll on Humboldt County’s coffers and the ranks of its sheriff’s office, voters passed Measure Z, approving a half-cent sales tax hike that was projected to raise millions of dollars annually to fund public safety services. The county billed it as a means to “maintain/improve essential services, such as 24-hour sheriff’s patrols, 911 emergency response, crime investigation … .” But six years — and one extension approved by voters in 2018 — later, the measure is again becoming a talking point in county government.

Through a certain lens, Measure Z delivered on its promise, bringing in the revenue needed to fund dozens of deputy sheriff positions and fill those resident posts and staff those rural patrols. But the vast majority of those positions now sit vacant — funded but unfilled — as the same frustrations of slow response times and no police presence in outlying areas that led to Measure Z’s passing grow anew.

In a Sept. 10 letter to the county’s Measure Z committee and the Board of Supervisors, Humboldt County Deputy Sheriff’s Association President Jamie Barney blasted the county for having “absolutely wasted $70 million on a wrong-headed and counterproductive ‘hire rookies and hope for the best’ strategy that is actually making public safety worse.”

The association, which is in the midst of negotiating a new contract with the county, charges that the county’s pay scale for deputies makes it hard to recruit and retain lateral hires. Meanwhile, the association argues that the county’s efforts to bring on entry-level deputies have been slow and costly, wasting resources to train prospective deputies who fail to make it through the process, leading to staffing shortages that cause undesirable working conditions that push experienced deputies to look for often more lucrative positions elsewhere.

“Even some of our most dedicated HDSO members are actively applying for better paying jobs in other communities

where their families can be protected with adequate public safety patrols,” Barney wrote.

In a Sept. 24 email to the board of supervisors, Honsal backed the association, saying he’s revamped the department’s entire recruiting strategy to focus on lateral hires, even hiring a marketing firm to sell the department to potential candidates throughout the state and offering a $12,000 signing bonus to lateral hires.

In a phone call with the Journal, Honsal explains those are the tools he has in his tool box right now, saying it’s the board of supervisors that sets salary schedules — not him. So while he can dip into his budget for signing bonuses, he can’t raise salary schedules.

And Honsal says he absolutely sees compensation as a major factor in his department’s staffing woes, pointing out that peace officer salaries have simply not kept pace with the changing realities of the job or the regional job market. The starting wage for a deputy in Humboldt County is about $48,000 a year, and Honsal points out plenty of other local employers offer wages competitive with that for jobs that come with a lot less stress and danger.

In a letter to the board of supervisors last month, lobbying for a pay increase for deputy sheriffs, Honsal wrote that he recently had eight deputies apply for a single security guard position with PG&E that paid about $10 more an hour than his deputies make.

Honsal says local departments often lose officers to the Redding Police Department, where the pay scale starts at $55,500, pointing out that Redding doesn’t seem to have an issue retaining officers.

But one need only look around the county to see that there’s more to the equation than pay scales. Arcata and Eureka both start officers at more than $55,000, and their staffing struggles remain, with EPD reporting that 25 percent of its officer positions sit vacant while APD has three of its 22 sworn positions unfilled with two more officers planning to leave the department.

Fortuna ($48,000), Rio Dell ($46,000) and Ferndale ($38,000) all pay significantly less, yet are at or near full staffing levels. (Read more about the Eel River Valley departments’ staffing situations in this week’s Enterprise.)

In Ferndale, Chief Ron Sligh, who stepped into the job in November after a career in Arcata, says he feels the culture of the Victorian Village community is supportive of law enforcement, which aids recruitment and retention efforts. And in addition to having a full roster of officers, Sigh says he has four reserve officers —

“seasoned officers that still have a desire to serve” — ready to call in when there’s a vacancy or a vacation.

“One thing that I have noticed, and one of the reasons I applied here, is that the city of Ferndale has a reputation of being very supportive of their police department and officers,” he says. “The applicants that I have interviewed have all said this to me and with the current negative climate around law enforcement, the officers are looking for jobs where they feel appreciated and supported.”

Fortuna Police Chief Casey Day agrees, saying he’s focused much of his city’s recent recruitment efforts on bringing in lateral transfers from other departments, who he says are drawn by Fortuna’s culture and that of the department, which Day says has put a premium on officer wellness and work-life balance.

“I think regionally here in Humboldt, word gets out,” he says. “You have some law enforcement officers working in different areas of the county where I’m just going to go out on a limb and say maybe there is not as much support for law enforcement as there is here in Fortuna.

Officers feel like they want to work in a jurisdiction where they’re going to get a little bit more community backing.”

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

What’s clear in talking to law enforcement executives throughout the region is that none expect the landscape to seismically shift any time soon, and none predict a record class of recruits will flood CR’s academy in the coming months. And that means officers will continue to be in incredibly high demand, regionally and statewide, making hiring and retaining a competitive endeavor.

Local departments are — and have been — retooling accordingly. As Honsal lobbies for pay raises for his deputies, Arcata and Eureka both also recently approved pay hikes. And in addition to compensation, departments are looking at other ways to support their officers and create a climate recruits want to be a part of.

“A lot of millennials are motivated by more than just money — it has to do with quality of life and job satisfaction,” Watson says, adding that EPD has revamped its recruiting pitches to showcase the sense of service inherent in the job, as well as opportunities for specialized training and assignments, as well as career advancement.

In Fortuna, Day has implemented twice annual all-staff meetings for which he has an outside agency come police the city so his entire staff can gather and talk, with a focus on family, work-life balance and holistic support, while also implementing

programs to tighten the bonds between officers and the community. In Arcata, Ahearn says he’s hopeful a culture of support — one that says “you don’t have to be perfect just follow the law and department policy and act in good faith in everything you do” — coupled with progressive, forward looking citywide conversations about the future of policing will help bring on good people looking to make a difference.

Departments are also increasingly looking for efficiencies to make sure they’re maximizing the impact of their limited ranks of sworn officers.

The county, Arcata and Eureka have all implemented online reporting systems for low-level property crimes, in which there isn’t evidence or a suspect, in an effort to minimize the time officers spend taking those reports.

Honsal says he’s exploring the possibility of hiring legal office assistants to help deputies with report writing and exploring whether purchasing a dictation system might increase efficiency. He says he’s also looking to expand the ranks of community service officers to handle calls like burglaries, vandalism, abandoned vehicles and cold case follow-ups, the kind of stuff that “doesn’t take a badge and a gun, just a smart person to go out and get information.”

Ahearn, Watson and Honsal also say they are working with city, county and state officials to find ways to get more mental health clinicians and social workers to respond to certain quality-of-life calls involving people in emotional distress or the chronically homeless.

“I feel like county mental health and state mental health have to step up to this.

The sheriff’s office and law enforcement in general, we can’t be the answer to all of society’s issues,” Honsal says, relating the story of a deputy who was recently dispatched to a call from a parent whose 12-year-old kid had locked themselves in their room, refusing to go to school. “We get that call and we have to respond.”

If there was another system in place to respond to those types of calls, Honsal says he and the deputy sheriff’s association would happily sacrifice some positions to help fund it.

“By all means, take the money,” Honsal says.

But the reality is those systems aren’t currently in place and, as Watson says, “You’re going to have a hard time getting a social worker to come out at 2 a.m.”

For his part, Ahearn says that while the challenges are daunting, it’s an incredibly exciting time to be in police leadership, on the front lines as departments try to adapt simultaneously to staffing challenges and changing societal expectations. That might

“Special APR Financing available on new 2021 models now through November 1st, 2021” Sheriff William Honsal, who’s department has been hardest hit locally by the staffing crisis, is lobbying the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to increase the salary schedule for his deputies, saying he thinks it’s key to attracting and retaining quality officers. Photo by Mark Larson mean bringing on more non-sworn specialists to address certain community issues, or taking some traditional police department functions — like school resource officers and crime prevention programs — and putting them under civilian management.

“We’re going to have to evolve,” he says.

“Fifty years from now, policing will look so much different than it does now. … In the here and now, I do think we’re in the midst of a change. The staffing challenge is serving as one of many catalysts that are going to effect change.”

Candy Corn Doesn’t Care if You Hate It

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

C

andy corn is trash. Say it all you want; post it on every platform.

Candy corn doesn’t give a giant gummy rat’s ass.

For one thing, it’s been around and isn’t going anywhere. Candy corn was first manufactured in the 1880s, the same decade that brought us its wax-wrapped cousin from Atlantic City, saltwater taffy.

Wild times. Go ahead and hate these vintage sugar bombs — they’ve survived wartime sugar rationing and two separate decades of low-carb diet trends. They cannot be killed by conventional means.

Oh, you think it’s too sweet? Suck it up, Milk Dud. So are cotton candy, jellybeans and s’mores, the core team of seasonal American sweets. Too much is the point.

To our contemporary obsession with thinness and LED-bright teeth, candy corn extends its blunt, triangular middle finger.

The tri-colored fusion of fondant and marshmallow does not need an actual flavor, only the binding magic of carnuba wax and, like, six different dyes. With the exception of a regrettable foray into

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

Thanksgiving dinner flavors, candy corn has always had the popcorn balls not to pretend and to be only itself: frosting you can eat while driving or typing. Is it my favorite candy? Not by a longshot. But I have had a lot of sugar and I would like to fight.

Unlike, say, a Look Bar or Good & Plentys, candy corn refuses to be shamed into the shelves of misfit candy only your uncle asks you to pick up. Instead, it waits.

Candy corn bides its time until the school supply shelves have been laid to waste.

Then, overnight, it crowds the shelves of supermarkets and drugstores, a wave of neon candy announcing the season since long before pumpkin spice was a twinkle in that Starbuck’s barista’s eye. Do you want some? Doesn’t matter. Look, there’s a bag in your cart now.

Seasonal though it may be, candy corn isn’t out here trying to blend into a Martha Stewart arrangement of cream-colored pumpkins and reclaimed barn wood. No, candy corn is taking down the fall industrial complex from the inside, reminding

us that somewhere behind the façade of carefully arranged leaf piles, a sticky toddler is pawing the bins at WinCo or tearing at a bag of Brach’s that will inevitably explode and scatter the little orange, yellow and white tablets way behind the fridge.

Candy corn shows up to your tasteful Thanksgiving in over-the-top harvest vegetable drag, its garish stripes mocking the earnest, whitewashed ceramic pilgrims on your table. Go ahead and try to gentrify this cheap-ass confection, Martha. Because you can take the candy out of the drugstore but you can’t take the drugstore out of the candy. And some of us remember you’re from Jersey.

Oh, you’ve always hated candy corn because it’s so artificial? Cool story, fun size.

Enjoy your fruit-sweetened gummies and know that candy corn is blowing bubblegum cigarette powder in your direction.

Because unlike Frankenstein’s monster, candy corn neither craves the love and acceptance of humanity nor rages at its rejection. In fact, as the annual dragging of candy corn has become it’s own tradition, the iconic sweet you love to hate has only grown stronger, morphing into pumpkin shapes and Easter pastels. Candy corn does not retreat.

There are, incidentally, only three acceptable ways to eat candy corn: one by one, biting off one color layer at a time, imagining an ultimately imperceptible difference between them and with full mental focus and attention to the candy’s transformation into an almost buttery slurry; mindlessly and by the handful as you pass an uncovered candy dish, only realizing how many you’ve consumed when your fingers graze the bottom and your stomach roils with regret; and by jamming one on each canine tooth, transforming yourself into a candy vampire.

Still, I tip my Halloween witch hat to the Pinterest nihilists making candy-corn fudge, cakes, layered puddings and party snack mixes. In that lawless confectionary dark web, candy corn finds strange new forms, including the alarmingly realistic formation of an ear of corn, made by jamming the pieces into a cookie dough cob.

If you can work up the sugar tolerance and accept candy corn on its own terms, you’ll know the smug joy of loving a candy everyone hates. (I see you, black jellybean gang.) Do it or don’t. Candy corn does not care. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

ill and Emily Langenbach had a grandson that ran cross country and track a few years before I became the track and field coach at Fortuna High School in 1982.

He tried hard and he found some athletic success, and they became fans of the sports.

Every season from then on, they would come out for each local track and field and cross country meet, they even made plenty of road trips. The little old couple, hand in hand, sitting next to each other in the pickup, growing older and smaller with each passing year.

They donated to the high school programs with money and lent their support.

They donated to many local agencies as well, such as the police and fire departments. I became good friends with them, especially Bill. Many times I stopped by to chat at their house on Rohnerville Road, not far from where I lived, and I learned a lot from them. I painted their house twice and Bill taught me a couple lifelong tricks about painting, a skill I had practiced every summer since my teen years. He had the coolest shop with every type of tool, including many of his own inventions.

Each year, everyone on the team knew the Langenbachs and would thank them for coming to the meets rain or shine, cheering each athlete enthusiastically until dark. Their encouragement showed they believed in trying hard and that each person who competed needed to be cheered on. They brought treats for the troops and we named a post-season award for them: the Inspirational Award. Our teams would cheer more than any others and they were the lead cheerleaders. It created a special bond, having this kind couple cheer so hard for everyone. The team loved them.

The Langenbachs became particularly fond of one of the all-time star athletes I have coached, Mike Katri. But they always let him know it wasn’t because he won, but how hard he tried and the improvement that he made that they appreciated.

Still, as he got better and better, they treated him like a grandson who was a star.

Katri would wait for them at each meet and walk in with them and keep them company during the races. Those who knew Katri might not have expected that.

He won the state meet in Los Angeles in 1992, becoming the fastest half-miler in the U.S. The Langenbachs were the second people I called from L.A. They whooped and screamed.

Bill had been a bridge engineer earlier in his life and had done very well. Emily was from Fortuna but they had met and lived their life in Sacramento, though Bill did a lot of work up here, as well. They raised two brilliant kids and when they retired, they bought a house near family where Emily was raised.

Each day, they would walk the same route up in the hills across the road together, hand in hand, slowing down through the years but always holding hands. They were avid bird watchers and flower growers. They got up in the middle of the night and danced, they went to Burger King every day, where the staff knew their order and would cut their Whopper in perfect halves for sharing.

The Langenbachs were the greatest of fans but also role models of sharing and support for many student athletes who had never seen such a bond. The couple told me one time that they had had a couple disagreements in their 60 years of marriage but never had a fight or gotten angry with each other. They were totally connected as one.

Emily started to slip into cognitive and physical problems as they aged into their 80s, though Bill was still lucid and healthy.

They grew unable to attend meets, walk in the hills together or dance in the front window at 3 a.m. She was hospitalized for various ailments, none of it seeming to help her mind. Bill spent a lot of time milling around the yard out front, tending to the flowers. He told me they had a deal to be each other’s caregivers exclusively and made a pact to go together.

I would stop to talk with him as I could see he was getting more and more lonely and depressed. Bill said that Emily often didn’t know who he was, that she refused

to take her medications and was showing signs of anger. She was slipping away and the only thing he wanted to do was help her.

The last time I stopped by, Bill was slouching on a stump in the front yard, crying. He said he couldn’t stand to watch Emily suffer all day, moaning. I saw signs of confusion and anger in Bill, as well; he was getting stories and people mixed up. He was as miserable as Emily.

We went to the shop and he showed me his deer and elk mantles. He had quite a collection of hunting trophies and guns.

His stories were confusing and desperate.

He said, “I’ve been dancing alone at night and pretending that Emily is dancing with me, but it’s not the same. I think tonight I’ll get up at 3 and dance alone and pretend harder that Emily is dancing, too.”

Just a couple of days later I got a phone call from his son-in-law. When I saw the number pop up, I said to my wife “Emily must have died.” But when I answered the phone, he said, “It’s worse than that — they are both gone.”

When I drove by their house, it was taped off and the window blinds were closed. Thinking back to the Times-Standard headline the next day, I want to pretend it said, “Lovebirds now dancing together again,” but it didn’t. ● Rod Kausen (he/him) is a retired teacher and coach.

Chetco Estuary Kicking Out Quality Kings

f you’re looking for an opportunity to catch big, ocean-fresh kings, the Chetco estuary is the place to be. Salmon have been staging in the tidewater since the beginning of September.

They’ll be there until rain allows them to make their way upriver. Following last Monday’s rain, which bumped the flows from under 100 cubic feet per second to nearly 1,000 cfs, some salmon were able to navigate out of the tidewater. But there should be plenty more heading in from the salt to take their place. “Salmon fishing has kicked into high gear on the Chetco estuary,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Upward of 50 kings were landed on Saturday and several dozen more on Monday. There is a good mix of jacks and wild and hatchery kings. The good fishing has attracted a crowd of boats. Anchovies and plug-cut herring are producing fish the second half of the incoming tide and beginning of the outgoing.”

On the Chetco, the daily bag limit for salmon is two adult fish per day and 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 cannot continue to fish for jack salmon. The river remains closed above mile 2.2 because of low flows.

Over on the Smith River, the tidewater fishing hasn’t been as good. But that may not be for a lack of fish. The rain that fell last week pushed the flows over 900 cfs, and schools of jacks and darker adults moved through. According to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, there aren’t many fish staging in the estuary right now. “There’s been a few boats trolling sardines and anchovies, as well as bank anglers tossing Kastmasters and Cleos,” he said. The Smith River is currently closed above the mouth of Rowdy Creek due to low flows.

Weekend marine forecast

Winds will begin to decrease Friday and the ocean looks to be plenty fishable over the weekend. As of Tuesday afternoon, Friday’s forecast is calling for winds out of the southwest up to 5 knots with northwest waves 4 feet at eight seconds and west 3 feet at 16 seconds. Saturday, winds will be out of the north 5 to 10 knots with northwest waves 5 feet at nine seconds. Sunday looks similar with winds coming from the north 5 to 15 knots with northwest waves 5 feet at nine seconds.

These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/eureka or www.windy.com.

The Oceans: Eureka

Prior to Monday, there hadn’t been much offshore activity out of Eureka due to rough seas. Gary Blasi of Full Throttle Sport Fishing ventured to the halibut grounds in less than ideal conditions Monday and put in quick limits. The weather was better Tuesday but the bite was slower. Very few boats were on the water.

Shelter Cove

According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, the rockfish bite has been excellent this week. “It’s been a little slow at times but still getting good limits every day,” he said. “Most of the effort was at the Old Man this week. The salmon bite picked up the last couple days and most boats have been getting limits over the weekend right at the Coast Guard buoy.

The Rivers: Lower Klamath

The salmon effort and harvest has slowed considerably on the lower Klamath. Reportedly, the mouth is still sanded over, making it difficult for fish to enter the river. If and when it blows open, we should see more fresh kings along with coho move in. The daily bag limit is two jack Chinook at 23-inches or smaller and two hatchery steelhead.

SETLIST

As It Was, So Shall It Be Eureka Symphony opens again

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

O

n Oct. 1 and 2, the Eureka Symphony opened its 30th anniversary season at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts with a program that was aptly titled ”Re-Emergence.” I was there, at my first large indoor concert after the longest break in indoor concerts I have experienced since I can remember. It wasn’t an easy decision. I have, like a lot of you, I am sure, watched and experienced the pandemic desolation that has come in the wake of large public events. However, the draw that clinched it for me was the very necessary and correct measures the organizers took to assure the safety of the public: Vaccination cards and masks were required. Talking to some of the friendly staff in the lobby before the show, I was told there were no issues among the patrons with these rules and the only thing even approaching drama was when one concert-goer had to return to their vehicle to retrieve their vax card, which they did without complaint. My first glimmer of hope that evening was the revelation that, despite what the media, online comment sections, and a deeply stupid protest outside of a local hospital with an at-capacity ICU were all telling me, there are still quite a lot of reasonable adults in our community. As reckless as I can be with my own private life and celebratory habits, I am still pulling for the social contract, public safety and an appreciation of consensus reality. Seeing how polite and normal everyone — both staff and the public — was behaving in the face of such abnormal conditions did a lot to raise my spirits and make me feel comfortable about doing something from the maskless old days.

The opening piece of the night was Elgar’s “Serenade for Strings,” an early work by the outsider English composer that has a light and almost pastoral feeling in its gentle first movement before opening up to the sort of melodic splendor that would become one of the composer’s distinguishing qualities later in his career.

The serenade’s three movements always uplift and present the listener with an unambiguous sense of muted joy, despite the sometimes complex time signatures and returning main theme. This work gave its often morose and despairing author an

20

early glimpse of future prestige to come, and provided — for me at least — an auspicious and even optimistic beginning to the evening and season. The musicians did an excellent job with this one and I settled in easily.

Introductions now out of the way, the assembled players wasted no time presenting the star of the evening, violinist Otis Harriel, a confident, highly skilled and accomplished talent whose life and career began in Arcata. The next composition of the evening brought the audience back in time and southward to the continent of Europe from Elgar’s Albion home, to land in the early 19th century territory of the evening’s most prolific and famous composer, the Austrian titan of the tones, Franz Schubert. His Rondo in A Major, which was written when the composer was still a teenager and remained unpublished in his lifetime, is an excellent way to showcase a violinist’s talent without overwhelming the audience. Because a rondo is at its core an instrumental round, the melodies are never swamped by the sort of soloist virtuosity often found in more complex pieces of music. That is not to say the music doesn’t require technical brilliance — it certainly does — it’s just that the melody is never fully subservient to the technical showcasing of the central player. Harriel performed brilliantly on this piece and the symphony rose to the occasion in its playing. After such a long dry period away from this kind of thing, I found myself moved and the return of a long, nearly forgotten, genuine elation came creeping home through my ears and into my head.

The final performance of the night brought the audience even further south geographically and back in time to the late baroque world of Italian composer Tomaso Vitali and his exquisite and mysterious Chaconne in G Minor. I say mysterious not simply because of the quality of the piece but for the enigma of its composition, whose enharmonic modulations carry the work into new key signatures in a fashion that wouldn’t become chic until a century later in the Romantic period. This was a wonderful and inspired choice to end the evening with, as the music does an excellent job dividing the players into the

concrete support pillars of the chaconne’s dominant four-note descending basso ostinato that serves as a buttress for a truly, well, baroque display of technical ecstasy from the violinist. The task laid before Harriel was no small feat and to say that he met it is putting it lightly. By the end of the work, with that ever-present and heavy bassline carrying an otherworldly violin, you have certainly gone somewhere.

I came on the second night of the symphony’s opening and this ultimate performance concluded with a quick solo excursion by Harriel, the Capriccio No. 23, aka “The Labyrinth,” by Italian baroque violinist Pietro Locatelli. I don’t want to sound ungrateful here, but after the excellent conclusion of the previous work, this seemed a little excessive and showy, like the solo violinist equivalent of blasting Van Halen’s “Eruption” as an encore. I appreciate the player’s great skill but to my ears it wrecked the feeling of the evening’s conclusion. However, I am a notoriously grumpy asshole, with a pickiness that tends to live only in my own head, and an informal vote among my friends in attendance afterward registered a split very much in favor of the performance. So I admit defeat and my only objection was one of mood; the piece was played very, very well.

It’s a hard thing to consider, returning

to a large indoor concert after so many months away and under the shroud of an ongoing plague. I’m glad I did and I am particularly happy this was the show I broke cover for. The staff and musicians all handled the evening with a grace and professionalism that seems superhuman considering the circumstances. Longtime fixture, guiding beacon and star of the Humboldt orchestral music scene, Conductor and Musical Director Carol Jacobson was a delight to see at work again, bringing her megawatt passion to power the program in the concert hall. There is something magical about live music of the instrumental variety played in a place like the Arkley Center, a liminal space is created as if a vast and eternal wormhole is being tapped into. And Jacobson is certainly a magician within that space. For the first time in a long time I felt a sense of hope for a future unlike the dreary decline of our present. Here’s hoping the Eureka Symphony lives long and far into that unseen land. l Collin Yeo (he/him) is begging the ghost of LBJ to rise from Hades and beat the everloving shit out of the moribund Democrats whose recalcitrance toward progressive legislation threatens us all with a coming GOP imperium.

He lives in Arcata.

SCREENS

Back to the Source

The Guilty and The Many Saints of Newark

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com THE GUILTY. I’ve long bridled at Hollywood remakes (I suppose we’re calling them reboots now) of recent international movies. For one, the practice speaks to the corporatized murder of imagination that has taken hold in the American cinema industry, whereby original screenplays are, by are large, passed over in favor of pre-existing properties. Secondly, it reinforces the false exceptionalism of said industry, separating art from other continents and, heaven forfend, other languages into a sub-category, a pool of “less-than” art that then becomes a well from which the vultures might drink.

I acknowledge that’s a little cantankerous and anachronistic. To frame it a little less angrily: What would it hurt for American studios or distributors to license or acquire these international properties and re-release them for domestic audiences, particularly now, in the age of streaming?

This presumes those domestic audiences would watch something with subtitles at all, and that dog likely will not hunt.

Further, attaching a bankable American star/director/writer goes a great distance toward marketability and commercial success. And so, once again, my frustration has met my cynicism and retired into resignation.

The Guilty is adapted from a Danish picture of the same title (Den Skyldige) from 2018 — incidentally, it is currently available on Hulu — with a screenplay

by True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto.

To be fair, though, a screenplay credit might be generous: This is a beat-for-beat, sometimes word-for-word translation of the source material with a little texture and a few grace notes overlaid. Directed

by Antoine Fuqua, who has been proficiently making very successful, large-scale, middle-of-the-road action movies for half my lifetime, it stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a 911 dispatcher caught in a caller’s domestic nightmare, set against his own ambiguous professional and personal crises.

Perhaps I should have led with this:

26

Jake Gyllenhaal would like to talk to the owner of the vehicle.

The Guilty

I like The Guilty (this version and the original) quite a lot. Despite my disinclination toward this school of cinema, I won’t argue with work that is competently and compellingly presented.

Pizzolatto (whose work I have enjoyed but who I think may be a bit of a charlatan) and Fuqua move the action from wintry Copenhagen to Los Angeles in the midst of late-summer wildfires. Joe Baylor (Gyllenhaal), whom we will learn has been temporarily demoted from street duty to the call center, slogs through a shift of minor accidental overdoses, robbery by prostitute, bicycle injuries and the like.

But then he fields a call from a woman who seems to have been abducted by her ex-husband. Joe scrambles to investigate the crime and apprehend the suspect from his headset, sometimes by extra-legal means, all while wrestling with his own anxiety, angst, asthma and impending dissolution.

Maybe because this was a COVID production, Fuqua turns down the theatrics, simplifying and focusing his attention on Gyllenhaal’s performance. Which, because he has become our preeminent avatar of onscreen anguish, is of course immediately compelling. Compared to the civility and composure of the Danish original, it might seem a little over the top, but set against a standard thriller, it plays quiet and reserved, though equally intense and involving. R. 90M. NETFLIX. MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK. I haven’t read any criticism of this but a little bird tells me it isn’t being entirely well-received, which I don’t understand. There seems to be some sort of backlash against prestige television (which The Sopranos basically created), even as it overtakes

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

movies as the preeminent informer of contemporary popular culture. Maybe I’m misinformed.

I like The Sopranos; everybody does.

I appreciate the sophistication and care with which it was imagined and constructed. I also appreciate it for its irony and cynicism, attributes that seem to be lost on some of the audience, even if I don’t see it as the ur-text of modern crime drama.

To me, The Many Saints is an ideal coda to the series, even all these years on, because it eschews the formal structure and familiar faces (for the most part), offering a prequel as final chapter. Written by creator David Chase and Lawrence Konner, and directed by Alan Taylor (who directed a great number of TV episodes we have all seen), the movie opens in Newark, 1967, after a pastiche of voices from the Bardo. Anthony Soprano is just a kid and afraid of the life lived by his father Johnny (Jon Bernthal) and his associates. But he also worships his “uncle” Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), who becomes the center of the narrative. Dickie, founded on contradictions, is an attentive, sensitive man capable of unspeakable violence and treachery; an appropriate role model for the Tony we come to know in the series.

As Newark is consumed by the flames of racial tension, a now teenaged Tony (played by Michael Gandolfini) struggles with ways to help his family and avoid the lifetime of dangerous secrecy laid out before him. Simultaneously, Dickie tries to temper his inner monster with intentional acts of kindness. Both find limited success.

Lavishly stylized, funny and horrible, and grittily true to the minutiae of life that transcend movies and gangster-ism

and culture, The Many Saints of Newark serves both as a standalone contribution to American organized crime cinema and as an entirely suitable introduction and farewell to characters we came to know over the course of six immersive seasons of television.

One Second a Year

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

I

imagine Socrates and Plato running into each other in the market.

Socrates says, “Hey, wanna join me and the boys tomorrow after lunch in the forum? I feel a dialogue coming on.”

Plato says, “Love to! When did you say?”

Socrates gives him a look. “I just told you. After lunch.”

Which was good enough for the ancient Greeks. Rather than running around trying to keep up, they were relaxed about time. Don’t sweat it. When we’re all there, we can start. But at some point — probably about 500 years ago, with the invention of the first pocket watches — folks started worrying about time. Now, as the saying goes, time is money. It’s often considered unprofessional if you arrived two minutes late for a meeting. Rather than controlling time, it controls us.

Having said that, I’m gobsmacked by a wristwatch that keeps time, without reference to a radio or GPS time signal, to within a second a year. Consider that any watch prior to the “quartz revolution” (discussed in the last Field Notes) was hard pressed to maintain accuracy of 10 seconds a day, that is, an hour a year. Today, a $20 quartz watch is good to plus-or-minus three minutes a year. A second a year — one part in 31,556,952 — is a couple of orders of magnitude more accurate.

That’s quartz. There are, of course, many mechanical “chronometers” (ad-speak for accurate watches — certified chronometers are something else) available. They come with serious price tags, anywhere from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands for handmade ones. But when it comes to accuracy, mechanical watches, beautiful as they are, just aren’t in the same league as quartz ones. For instance, the popular Rolex models (10,000 sold every week) are only accurate to a couple of seconds per day, which translates to

around 10 minutes a year. In fact, most high-end manufacturers don’t advertise the accuracy of their watches. You don’t wear a $300,000 Patek Philippe “Grand Complications in Rose Gold” beauty to know what time it is. (You have an iPhone for that.) You wear it for its craftsmanship, its aesthetic appeal and, of course, to impress. One “watch blogger” was assured by a contact in Switzerland, “You aren’t taken seriously in business in Europe if you don’t have a good mechanical watch.”

The one-second-a-year instrument is the Caliber 0100 (“zero-one-hundred”), which, when it was announced by the Japanese Citizen group two years ago, caused the jaws of watch-lovers the world over to drop. It achieves this incredible accuracy not by any revolutionary techniques, but by pushing existing technology to the limit.

For instance, its quartz crystal vibrates over eight million times a second, or 256 times faster than regular quartz-regulated watches: The higher the frequency, the greater the precision. In addition, it samples the ambient temperature every minute, adjusting the watch accordingly, since the vibration speed of quartz is (very slightly) affected by temperature changes. You change your time zones or set daylight savings by adjusting the hour hand (in one hour increments) without affecting the underlying timekeeping. Oh, and it goes forever (unless you keep it in the dark for more than six months) since solar cells beneath the translucent dial keep its tiny battery charged.

Want one? It’s available in three models, with the rose gold one selling for $16,500.

Too spendy? Don’t worry. You can pick up a titanium model for less than half that — a bargain! l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) wants the world to know that he has a birthday coming up. Just saying.

OBITUARIES

LEGAL NOTICES AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JOHN DAVID OLSON CASE NO. PR2100253

Michael Devlin May 26, 1959 - August 4, 2021 Michael “Mikie” Devlin was born to Joan Warde and Harry Devlin on May 26, 1959 in San Diego, California. He joined his two older siblings, Patrick and Kelley.

Michael spent his early years in the Southern California area where his entire family spent the majority of their time swimming, surfing and enjoying the local beaches. Michael’s early surfing experiences occurred at San Onofre Surf Club Beach mixed with occasional camping trips to Baja & mainland Mexico. Michael was a member of the Hobie “Mini” surf team (14 & under) and he, along with his brother & sister, competed in many local surf contests.

In 1972, Michael & his family moved from San Juan Capistrano, CA to Trinidad, CA, a small, picturesque fishing town in Northern CA. He attended Trinidad Elementary School and McKinleyville High School. Here he continued his passion for surfing, enjoying unlimited surf breaks and uncrowded conditions. Michael discovered that the commercial fishing community offered an economic opportunity and a chance to be on the ocean as well as a camaraderie that lasted his entire adult life. Michael fished for Dungeness crab, Salmon, Albacore tuna, black cod and shrimp. He also had a 19-year career working with geologists performing salmon stream restoration. Michael later moved to the Ft. Bragg/Mendocino area to fish salmon & black cod for the remainder of his life.

Michael began woodworking in High School and built his own home near Dry Lagoon. He enjoyed gardening, searching for agates, hunting, camping, hiking and cooking.

Michael is survived by his brother Patrick Devlin, sister Kelley Devlin-Lake, step-sister Fedessa Thomas Boyd, and nephew Todd Lake & family, along with many cousins. He also had many friends and associates too numerous to mention.

Our deepest gratitude and appreciation go out to all of the wonderful people in the Ft. Bragg community who have been so helpful during this time. This includes the fishing community of Ft. Bragg, the U.S. Coast Guard, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department, Noyo Fish Company, Chapel by the Sea, Noyo Harbor District, Coast Self-Storage and the Glass Beach Inn. Arrangements for memorial “Celebrations of Life” are in process for both Ft. Bragg and Trinidad, in between fishing seasons, when his ashes will be sprinkled at sea. For those who would like to make a donation in Mikie’s name, feel free to contribute to a favorite charity. His memory would also be honored greatly by supporting local fishermen and women.

ASTROLOGY

EMPLOYMENT

Free Will Astrology Week of Oct. 7, 2021

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Hold your own hand and tell yourself what you will do to end a nagging discomfort in your life. https://Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Anna Kamieńska said her soul didn’t emanate light. It was filled with “bright darkness.” I suspect that description may apply to you in the coming weeks.

Bright darkness will be one of your primary qualities. And that’s a good thing! You may not be a beacon of shiny cheer, but you will illuminate the shadows and secrets. You will bring deeper awareness to hidden agendas and sins of omission. You will see, and help others to see, what has been missing in situations that lack transparency. Congratulations in advance!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “There is something truly restorative, finally comforting, in coming to the end of an illusion—a false hope.” So declared author Sue Miller, and now I’m sharing it with you, Taurus—just in time for the end of at least one of your illusions. (Could be two, even three.) I hope your misconceptions or misaligned fantasies will serve you well as they decay and dissolve. I trust they will be excellent fertilizer, helping you grow inspired visions that guide your future success. My prediction: You will soon know more about what isn’t real, which will boost your ability to evaluate what is real.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini writes, “People mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really what guides them is what they’re afraid of—what they don’t want.” Is that true for you, Gemini? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to meditate on that question. And if you find you’re motivated to live your life more out of fear than out of love, I urge you to take strenuous action to change that situation! Make sure love is at least 51 percent and fear no more than 49 percent.

I believe you can do much better than that, though. Aim for 75 percent love!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.” Oglala Lakota medicine man Black Elk said that, and now I’m passing it on to you. It’s not always the case that dreams are wiser than waking, of course, but I suspect they will be for you in the coming weeks. The adventures you experience while you’re sleeping could provide crucial clues to inform your waking-life decisions. They should help you tune into resources and influences that will guide you during the coming months.

And now I will make a bold prediction: that your dreams will change your brain chemistry in ways that enable you to see truths that until now have been invisible or unavailable. (PS: I encourage you to also be alert for intriguing insights and fantasies that well up when you’re tired or lounging around.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Don’t hope more than you’re willing to work,” advises author Rita Mae Brown. So let me ask you, Leo: How hard are you willing to work to make your dreams come true, create your ideal life, and become the person you’d love to be? When you answer that question honestly, you’ll know exactly how much hope you have earned the right to foster.

I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to upgrade your commitment to the work and therefore deepen your right to hope.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To be truly visionary, we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.” This shrewd advice comes from author bell hooks (who doesn’t capitalize her name). I think it should be at the heart of your process in the coming days. Why? Because you now have an extraordinary potential to dream up creative innovations that acknowledge your limitations but also transcend those limitations. You have extra power available to harness your fantasies and instigate practical changes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Some people are crazy drunk on rotgut sobriety,” wrote aphorist Daniel Liebert. I trust you’re

not one of them. But if you are, I beg you to change your habits during the next three weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have a heavenly mandate to seek more than the usual amounts of whimsical ebullience, sweet diversions, uplifting obsessions, and holy amusements. Your health and success in the coming months require you to enjoy a period of concentrated joy and fun now. Be imaginative and innovative in your quest for zest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scottish Poet Laureate Jackie Kay, born under the sign of Scorpio, writes, “It used to be that privacy came naturally to everybody and that we understood implicitly what kind of things a person might like to keep private. Now somebody has torn up the rule book on privacy and there’s a kind of free fall and free for all and few people naturally know how to guard this precious thing, privacy.” The coming weeks will be a good time for you to investigate this subject, Scorpio—to take it more seriously than you have before. In the process, I hope you will identify what’s truly important for you to keep confidential and protected, and then initiate the necessary adjustments. (PS: Please feel no guilt or embarrassment about your desire to have secrets!)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “All our Western thought is founded on this repulsive pretense that pain is the proper price of any good thing,” wrote feisty author Rebecca West (1892–1983). I am very happy to report that your current torrent of good things will NOT require you to pay the price of pain.

On the contrary, I expect that your phase of grace and luck will teach you how to cultivate even more grace and luck; it will inspire you to be generous in ways that bring generosity coming back your way. As articulated by ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, here’s the operative principle: “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no,” declares author Nora Roberts. In that spirit and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to be bold and lucid about asking for what you want in the coming weeks. In addition, I encourage you to ask many probing questions so as to ferret out the best ways to get what you want. If you are skilled in carrying out this strategy, you will be a winsome blend of receptivity and aggressiveness, innocent humility and understated confidence. And that will be crucial in your campaign to get exactly what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Few persons enjoy real liberty,” wrote poet Alfred de Musset. “We are all slaves to ideas or habits.” That’s the bad news. The good news is that October is Supercharge Your Freedom Month for you Aquarians. I invite you to use all your ingenuity to deepen, augment, and refine your drive for liberation. What could you do to escape the numbness of the routine? How might you diminish the hold of limiting beliefs and inhibiting patterns? What shrunken expectations are impinging on your motivational verve? Life is blessing you with the opportunity to celebrate and cultivate what novelist Tim Tharp calls “the spectacular now.” Be a cheerful, magnanimous freedom fighter.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The brilliant Piscean composer Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) wrote, “I wish I could throw off the thoughts that poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.” What?! That’s crazy! If he had been brave enough and willful enough to stop taking pleasure in indulging his toxic thoughts, they might have lost their power to demoralize him. With this in mind, I’m asking you to investigate whether you, like Chopin, ever get a bit of secret excitement from undermining your own joy and success. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dissolve that bad habit. l
