NEWS

Newsom Signs ‘Overhaul’ of Mental Health System

By Jocelyn Wiener/CalMatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

G

ov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 10 announced he signed the first of a series of bills aimed to transform California’s mental health system. Depending on who you ask, this transformation represents a long overdue humanitarian response — or a worrisome step backward on civil liberties.

The governor’s Oct. 10 signature loosens long-standing rules about who is eligible for involuntary treatment under the half century-old Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, the landmark mental health law that regulates involuntary civil commitment in the state. Advocates and county leaders expect the new legislation will lead to more people being placed in treatment facilities against their will.

“California is undertaking a major overhaul of our mental health system,” Newsom said in a written statement. “The mental health crisis affects us all, and people who need the most help have been too often overlooked. We are working to ensure no one falls through the cracks, and that people get the help they need and the respect they deserve.”

Newsom also is expected to sign legislation sending two key ballot measures to voters next March: a $6.4 billion bond to pay for 10,000 new treatment beds and supportive housing, and an overhaul of California’s 20-year-old law that funds mental health services with a tax on millionaires. A UP TO

majority of voters would need to approve those measures.

All of this comes just as CARE Court, Newsom’s signature mental health legislation from last year, begins rolling out in an initial cohort of seven counties. Glenn, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties opened their Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Courts on Oct. 2; Los Angeles County will open its court Dec. 1. The rest of the state will follow next year.

Addressing serious mental illness among the state’s growing unhoused population is a major focus of all of these initiatives.

That population has burgeoned to more than 170,000 people, less than a quarter of whom have severe mental illness, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

A recent survey of people experiencing homelessness by the University of California at San Francisco Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, found that the majority had experienced serious mental health conditions at some point in their lives but the main reasons most became homeless were high housing costs and low incomes.

CARE Court allows family, close friends, first responders and behavioral health workers to petition a court to compel a person with untreated schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders into

a court-ordered treatment plan. The ballot initiative that would redesign the Mental Health Services Act would require that 30 percent of tax dollars brought in under the plan go toward housing programs, half of it to serve people who are chronically homeless or living in encampments.

Taken along with the Oct. 10 signature of the involuntary confinement law, Senate Bill 43, the moment marks a significant departure from the decades in which the civil liberty protections for Californians with mental illness seemed virtually untouchable because of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. The authors of that law — Assemblymember Frank Lanterman and Democratic Sens. Nicholas Petris and Alan Short — sought to end the inappropriate and often indefinite institutionalization of people with mental illnesses and developmental disabilities. At the time, it had been relatively easy for family members to force people into mental health treatment, often locking them away for long stretches in state hospitals where conditions were abhorrent.

New Standard for Involuntary Treatment The law, which then-Gov. Ronald Reagan signed in 1967, established strict criteria to determine who was eligible for involuntary treatment, as well as specific timeframes that limited involuntary holds.

This included the 72-hour hold known as a 5150. But concomitant promises to build up community-based support programs did not materialize.

Susan Talamantes Eggman, a social worker turned Democratic state senator from Stockton who has become one of the Legislature’s main authors of mental health policies, is among those who feel California went too far back then.

“For fear of doing something wrong we did something even worse,” she said.

Eggman authored the law signed Oct. 10, carried the legislation to redesign the Mental Health Services Act and also co-authored last year’s CARE Act. She told CalMatters she has tried five times in recent years to introduce legisla-

tion amending the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. Stiff resistance from disability rights groups and some legislators impeded those changes, she said.

This year’s attempt sailed through the Legislature without opposition. It expands the legal definition by which someone can be deemed “gravely disabled” and treated against their will. The new, expanded definition allows for consideration of whether a person fails to provide for their own medical care or personal safety. It includes not just mental illness, but also severe substance use disorder and chronic alcoholism.

She called the current constellation of policy changes “the most significant thing we’ve done in the mental health, behavioral health workspace easily within the last 50 years.”

Why Some Families Want Involuntary Treatment Many families of seriously mentally ill individuals say they are thrilled with Eggman’s bill and with the other policy shifts, having long felt sidelined in their efforts to press for treatment when loved ones refused it.

“I think, personally, that the tide is finally turning, that we are on our way to really doing something to help these very sick people get the treatment that they need,” said Linda Mimms, vice chair of the national Schizophrenia and Psychosis Action Alliance.

She lauded Newsom’s interview with 60 Minutes last month, in which he called out critics of the changes, saying: “Change has its enemies. I get it. But one thing you cannot argue for — with all due respect to all the critics out there — is the status quo.

You can’t. And in the absence of alternatives, what the hell are we going to do to address this crisis?”

But those critics say they aren’t defending the status quo at all. Rather, they point to other parts of the system — including affordable housing and an array of voluntary treatment services — that have suffered after decades of underinvestment.

“We’re never having the right conversation,” said Kelechi Ubozoh, a mental health advocate and author of We’ve Been Too Patient: Voices from Radical Mental Health. “It is a conversation around poverty. We’re still saying, ‘Let’s blame it on mental health and the mental health system.’”

Many who live with mental illness have had traumatic experiences with involuntary treatment, Ubozoh said, and are “really scared” by the current direction the state is headed.

“For no one to oppose this huge erosion of civil rights is just a really concerning change in the state Legislature,” said Samuel Jain, senior attorney with Disability

Rights California. He believes state leaders feel pressure to address the homelessness crisis, and as a result are conflating homelessness and mental illness.

“We don’t feel that this is going to change anything on the streets,” he said.

“This strategy seems to be to take people with mental health disabilities and put them into institutions.”

In the meantime, he said, the organization’s clients often find themselves stuck in emergency departments and locked psychiatric settings because there are no community-based beds for them.

Worry About California’s Mental Health Tax Some mental health advocates also are wary of Newsom’s ballot initiative to reallocate money from the millionaire’s tax, which raises several billion dollars every year for programs. They say the redesign of the Mental Health Services Act will inevitably redistribute some funds away from current programs.

That worries Tiffany McCarter, executive director of the African-American Family and Cultural Center in Oroville, which provides children with food, after-school care and other services, such as anger management.

“I was pushing and pulling within my own self,” she said. “I want to help the homeless on a mass level for sure.” But she worries: “When it came to this measure, if they do this, what about our kids?”

That’s because her organization depends almost entirely on money from the Mental Health Services Act. She’s trying to rush to apply for grants but worries she doesn’t have enough time. She says other organizations that serve people of color in her community — and around the state — are in the same position.

“It’s a lose, lose, lose all the way around,” she said.

Counties, which are charged with implementing many of the mental health policy programs coming down from the state, including CARE Court, caution that change will take time.

“It is a very positive thing that there are higher expectations around behavioral health in our communities,” said Graham Knaus, CEO of the California State Association of Counties.

But after decades of underfunding, he says, resources are still finite. The state continues to face significant shortages of appropriate housing placements, public guardians and mental health workers. l This article was originally published

Customer Feature Mike and Javi

from City of Arcata Environmental Services Next time you’re at Murphy’s Market in Sunny Brae, grab a sandwich at the deli and enjoy it as you take a walk in the Sunny Brae Forest. That’s what best friends and coworkers Mike McDowall and Javier Nogueira of the city of Arcata Environmental Services Department do every day.

Currently, they are performing ecological work for the city’s carbon offset program, which involves going tree-by-tree to measure species, diameter and heights in order to calculate tons of carbon pulled out of the environment.

When Javi and Mike are ready for a break, they sit in the ferns and eat their Murphy’s sandwiches. “We have our go-to guys at Murphy’s who make us custom sandwiches, always toasted twice,” says Javi. “We love the staff here – they are all really friendly.” Javi, who also lives in Sunny Brae, thinks of Murphy’s as his pantry.

“The staff at Murphy’s gives us the fuel we need to work through the day,” says Mike.

Describing why they do what they do, Mike says, “We are extremely lucky to work for such a wonderful community and we take a lot of pride in performing our best work for the protection of the city’s natural resources and habitats.”

Eureka Parking Lot Proponents File More Lawsuits

Performers in Procession

The great Eureka parking lot war is escalating.

L

ess than a week after the city of Eureka reported that an initiative seeking to block its plans to transform a host of downtown city-owned parking lots into multi-family housing developments has qualified for the November of 2024 ballot, a group of local residents led by Security National President Robin P. Arkley II has filed two more lawsuits against the city, alleging it violated provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in pushing the plans forward.

For years, the city has been looking to address a housing crisis by developing a host of city-owned parking lots in the downtown and Old Town areas into apartment complexes that would provide hundreds of housing units. And those plans have been gaining momentum, with the city recently entering into a contract with the Wiyot-led Dishgamu Humboldt Community Land Trust on a project to develop more than 90 housing units on what are now two parking lots at Fifth and D and Sixth and L streets, and the announcement last month that Linc Housing, a developer picked by the city, had secured a $30 million grant to building 90 units on three city-owned lots.

But Arkley and other business leaders have expressed concern about the loss of off-street parking in the downtown and Old Town areas, noting that in addition to removing hundreds of parking spaces, the projects would bring in hundreds of new residents, many of whom presumably would bring cars with them.

“Building housing without parking,” the initiative website argues, “severely harms the economic vitality of small businesses downtown.”

The city, which has maintained that studies have shown the downtown and Old Town areas have enough parking without the lots, announced late last month that the dubiously named “Housing for All” initiative has gath-

ered enough valid signatures to qualify for the November of 2024 ballot. It will come before the city council, which requested a staff report on its impacts back in August, on Oct. 17, at which time the council can either adopt it outright or choose to put it before voters.

If passed, the initiative would effectively block almost all of the city’s parking lot plans, save for a carve out for the Dishgamu Humboldt developments, by prohibiting any housing developments built on the downtown and Old Town lots from removing any existing parking while requiring they provide enough new spaces to accommodate residents of the new units. The initiative claims this will be balanced by another of its provisions, which would rezone 8.5 acres of the former Jacobs Middle School site, closed since 1982, for single and multi-family housing.

The problem with the Jacobs school site plan is the city doesn’t own the property and neither it nor the initiative proponents have any control over what happens to it. In fact, Eureka City Schools appears to be in the late stages of negotiating the property’s sale to the California Highway Patrol for the future site of its Humboldt headquarters, with the matter most recently having appeared on the school board’s closed session agenda for this month’s meeting for a conference regarding “price and/or terms of payment.”

Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery previously told the Journal that if the ballot initiative passes it would have reverberating impacts, instantly putting the city out of conformance with its current housing element, which includes 200 units of affordable housing slated to be built through the parking lot plan.

That could then cause the state Housing and Community Development Department to deem the city out of compliance, jeopardizing matching state and housing funds and other grant opportunities.

It seemingly would also impact the

The Basement is Back: After a brief run halted by the pandemic, the Basement, which occupies the former home of Abruzzi below Plaza Grill in Arcata, has come out of a multi-year hiatus, renovated and reopened. Renovations include the addition of a hardwood dance floor — originally salvaged from the old roller rink in the Creamery Building — painting and lighting, as well as the absence of the former kitchen. But the place plans on serving small plates, charcuterie and mezze to go with its full bar, which serves bubbly, local wines and 10 cocktails, including the Roller Rink, an homage to the dance floor.

“If it passes, we would likely have issues,” Slattery told the Journal.

And it’s worth noting that grant is slated to fund more than just housing, with $2.9 million earmarked for sustainable transportation infrastructure (including a G Street bicycle boulevard), $4.7 million for public transportation projects (including two electric micro-transit buses and charging infrastructure) and $1.5 million in other amenities, including bus shelters, pedestrian lighting, bicycle parking, street trees and vehicle charging stations. Additionally, the grant allocates a total of $750,000 for workforce development and homelessness prevention programs, as well as no-cost transit passes and broadband internet for residents of the projects’ affordable housing units.

Coast Outpost, the group Citizens for a Better Eureka, which is financially backed by Security National, filed two additional lawsuits Oct. 4 challenging the city’s parking lot plans. Identical to two earlier suits, the new filings allege the city violated CEQA when it approved plans to convert parking lots at Sixth and M streets and Eighth and G streets into housing developments.

After the first filings, the Environmental Protection Information Center issued a press release on behalf of multiple local nonprofits calling “bullshit,” and saying “not only is the lawsuit frivolous, but it actively undermines much-needed housing and climate action.”

The Eureka City Council is expected to discuss the housing initiative in open session Oct. 17, while it will likely be briefed on the latest lawsuits in closed session.

ON THE COVER

‘In the Interest of Justice’

After 17 years in a cell, Steven Dinsmore’s ‘restart on life’ is incarcerated, at least for now

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s a Wednesday morning and Steven Dinsmore is in the visiting hallway on the sixth floor of the south side of the Humboldt County jail, talking to the Journal by a two-way phone through a Plexiglass divide. Clad in an orange jumpsuit, small beads of sweat begin to form on his clean-shaven head as he speaks quickly, seemingly accustomed to making an impassioned case that he is rehabilitated and deserving of a second — no, third — chance at freedom, and knowing he only has the allotted 20-minute visitation to do so.

He rattles off the list of his accomplishments while in prison that convinced a judge to reduce his sentence after 17 years in prison. There’s the GED earned and the 14-month substance abuse program completed, the certificates for successful completion of courses in parenting, victim impact, anger management and a dozen or so others, as well as the near decade in custody without so much as a disciplinary infraction. Then, he says, there’s all he accomplished in the 15 months between, when Humboldt County Superior Court Judge John Feeney ordered him released from prison until an appellate court’s ruling sent him back into custody six weeks ago. He says he reconnected with his two daughters — now both adults — and the six grandkids born while he was behind bars.

He recounts how he not only never failed a drug test or missed an appointment with his parole officer, but was released from indeterminant parole after just seven months, how he landed full-time work with Caltrans, got engaged and found a house in Redding, and generally did everything asked of him.

He pauses, apologizing for talking so much, saying it’s just that after spending the majority of his adult life in a 6-by-10-foot cell, he was grabbing ahold of his second chance with everything he had, trying to help people and live a life of value.

“I was so happy with everything,” he says after a breath.

Dinsmore says he was even going to church every Sunday, not necessarily be-

cause he believes in “some supreme higher power” but because he wants to be around people trying to do good.

“Someplace where people say please and thank you, open doors for one another — these are the people I want to be around,” he says.

But since he was ordered back into custody Aug. 29, that hasn’t been Dinsmore’s reality. Instead, while he awaits news on a proposed law that might offer his best chance to avoid returning to prison for another 10 years, he’s been in a housing dormitory in the jail. He says he spends his time exercising — “every time I get frustrated, I work out,” he says — and trying to share his experience with those who will listen, telling “youngsters in here not to do drugs anymore” and to surround themselves with good people.

Through a certain lens, Dinsmore’s case cuts to core questions of the criminal justice system. Is it about rehabilitation or punishment? Is it meant to protect the public from dangerous people or ensure that one’s debts to society are paid in full?

Is it necessarily about the letter of the law or can it be malleable to the human experience?

For his part, Dinsmore says he’s demonstrated that he’s a success story, pointing out that no one throughout this process — not the prosecutor, the judge nor the appellate court — has argued that he is not rehabilitated, or that he poses a danger to the public.

“I’m working for the same state that’s trying to put me back in,” he says, conceding that he’s frustrated. “It’s supposed to be about rehabilitation — that’s what the R in the CDCR stands for, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.”

It was a little before

9 a.m. on May 20, 2022, and Dinsmore, sitting in Coalinga State Prison near Kettleman City and appearing in Humboldt County Superior Court via Zoom, was struggling to contain himself. Feeney, the judge who’d sentenced

10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 • northcoastjournal.com

Steven Dinsmore, on the job for Caltrans earlier this year.

Submitted

Dinsmore to serve 30 years in prison back in 2007, had just called to order a hearing to consider whether resentencing him was in the interest of justice and Ben McLaughlin, a deputy public defender representing Dinsmore, was introducing an advocate prepared to argue on his behalf.

“Your honor,” Dinsmore interrupted, according to a transcript of the hearing. “I really need to say something. I really — before we get started — I want to say thank you very much. I believe you saved my life.”

Asked about that moment more than two years later — after Feeney granted his request and ordered him released from prison only to see that order reversed 15 months later — Dinsmore says it was genuine.

“Honestly, I will tell you I just wanted him to know that he saved me,” he says.

“The punishment saved my life. It did. I was fucking up. … [The sentence] gave me the time to pull my head out of my ass.”

Amid all the argument about whether Dinsmore should have been released early from his sentence, about whether Feeney overstepped his authority in ordering him released and what should be done about it now, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the crime that led Dinsmore to prison was a serious one. Feeney, who presided over Dinsmore’s trial, noted as much in that May 20, 2022, hearing, saying it is “still amazing” to him that no one was shot, noting that’s because of the “heroic actions” of then deputy Michael Fridley.

According to news reports and court documents, Dinsmore was the passenger in a vehicle pulled over for expired registration

around midnight on Nov. 6, 2005. When then deputy — now undersheriff — Justin Braud approached the vehicle, he learned that Dinsmore had a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest. Dinsmore attempted to flee and then fought with Braud, Fridley and two other deputies as they attempted to take him into custody. According to a report in the Times-Standard, Dinsmore then took a .50-caliber “Desert Eagle” handgun from his waistband and pointed it at Braud, threatening to shoot him if deputies didn’t allow him to leave, at which point Fridley grabbed the weapon as Dinsmore pulled the trigger, with Fridley’s finger blocking the hammer from reaching the firing pin.

“A deputy could have died that night if it wasn’t for Mike Fridley putting his hand between that hammer and that firearm,” says Sheriff William Honsal, adding that while all the deputies involved that night say they have put the incident behind them and wish no ill upon Dinsmore, he knows what happened that night still affects them.

(Braud did not respond to a Journal request to comment for this story.)

Dinsmore, for his part, says he doesn’t remember much about that night and indicated he doesn’t care to talk about what he does remember. He says he was at the bottom of a months-long downward spiral that started when he got hurt working for CalFire and got hooked on pain pills, which led to his separation and ultimate divorce from his wife, and a spiral of addiction.

“I stopped caring,” he says. “I wasn’t in my right mind.”

A jury convicted Dinsmore of assault

on a peace officer, resisting arrest and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2006, along with a special firearm allegation that carried a mandatory 10-year sentencing enhancement. The following year, Feeney handed down a determinant sentence of 30 years, four months in state prison — the longest imposed by a Humboldt judge in 2007, according to the Times-Standard. Dinsmore was sent to San Quentin State Prison.

“I didn’t think I was ever going to get out,” Dinsmore says, adding that he spent some years in darkness with little hope.

Over time, that began to change, though he has a hard time pointing to a single lightbulb moment. He says he took victim impact courses and learned about the ripple effects of victimization, noting that his crimes impacted not just the deputies on scene that night, but their families and his, as well as the ambulance driver who took him for treatment, and eventually even the journalists who wrote about the incident and the jurors who sat through his trial. He sent letters to the involved deputies, he says, saying he knows his actions “impacted them in bad ways,” that he’s sorry and that he wishes them the best.

Dinsmore soon set his sights on getting a GED and pursued it with vigor, according to a letter from his instructor, who says he was “an exceptional student, diligent in the pursuit of his studies, polite, respectful and focused,” adding that he routinely assisted other students with their work.

“Mr. Dinsmore was among the most motivated students I have ever seen,” she wrote.

He completed the 14-month substance abuse program and thought that if released, maybe he could become a counselor, figuring if he could help one person avoid his path, maybe it would all be worth it.

Then, when the Legislature passed a law giving judges discretion over the mandatory firearm enhancement that had added 10 years to his sentence, with the help of a family friend, Dinsmore began working toward a final attempt to be released from custody early.

He’d already unsuccessfully appealed his conviction and sentence, rendering his judgement final, so the only avenue that remained was petitioning for a writ of habeas corpus, essentially a chance to be brought before a local judge to argue his continued incarceration was unjust.

And so, on May 20, 2022, Dinsmore found himself addressing Feeney through a Zoom screen as a prison guard kept watch nearby. Dinsmore listened as Denise Naylor, an advocate on his behalf, made the case for his release. She walked the court through his “exemplary record” in custody and how he worked toward self-improvement even while serving a determinant

sentence without the hope of parole. She noted that he had served as chapel clerk for eight months and helped facilitate group discussions on domestic violence and “mental awareness.” She detailed the more than 20 “rehabilitative classes” he took, and the laudatory letters in his file from prison guards and instructors. She told the court that Dinsmore had put together detailed plans to maintain his sobriety outside of custody, noting he’d proactively contacted the head of the AA chapter near where he hoped to live in a small cottage his parents had “lovingly built for him right next door to their own home.”

“He is rehabilitated and justice has been served in his case,” Naylor told the court.

Dinsmore himself then addressed the court.

“Your honor, I regret sincerely for my actions that night and any time, for that matter, where I put lives in danger,” he said.

“I truly can never be sorry enough. Sir, I am not the man you sentenced 17 years ago. I have grown and matured. I have furthered my education by using my time wisely. I have a new perspective on life.”

Representing the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office, Deputy District Attorney Luke Bernthal said he appreciated “all the comments this morning” but said the legal matter before the court was “fairly black and white.” The new law making the firearms enhancement discretionary only gave judges that discretion at the time of sentencing or resentencing, he said, and “this hearing is neither of those things.” The law, he said, did not apply retroactively and did not allow a judge to simply reconsider an underlying conviction or sentence that, in this case, was “very final.”

When the matter came back to the court, Feeney said he would “construe” Dinsmore’s petition for a writ of habeas as a request for resentencing. Then, pointing to Dinsmore’s “sincere remorse” for the underlying crimes and “impressive record of rehabilitative work,” Feeney ruled that “continued incarceration of Mr. Dinsmore is no longer in the interest of justice” and ordered him released that day.

Sitting in that room in Coalinga State Prison, Dinsmore says he was stunned. A prison guard — the only other person in the room with him — gave him a high-five.

By the time

Dinsmore was actually released from prison, picked up by his parents Karen and Tom Dinsmore about a week later, then Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming had already appealed Feeney’s order, arguing it overstepped his authority. In fact, prosecutors had asked Feeney to keep Dinsmore in custody pending the appeal, saying that Continued on next page »

releasing him could create “a dangerous situation” in which law enforcement could be put in the place of having to “unwind that decision.” But Feeney declined, saying if the appellate court found he exceeded his authority in ordering Dinsmore released, he would simply need to return to the CDCR to “serve the balance of his original prison commitment.”

For his part, Dinsmore says he was too elated to be a free man and too overwhelmed with navigating a changed world to worry too much about the appeal.

Through the jail visitation phone, he laughs, recalling how he became overwhelmed outside the door of a gender-neutral bathroom at a pit stop on the drive home from prison, unsure what to do, saying he eventually asked his mom to go in and make sure no one was inside before he would enter. He says he also struggled to learn to use smart phones and navigate the technological advancements that were now seemingly everywhere.

But he says he soon settled into his new life. He got work doing handy-man type labor around his parents’ neighborhood, refinishing decks, painting houses, stacking firewood and doing other odd jobs. In August, he reconnected with a high school acquaintance and, in time, they began dating and then got engaged. He enrolled at College of the Siskiyous and began taking classes toward becoming a substance abuse counselor. He attended class three days a week, leaving home at 5:30 a.m. to make the hourand-a-half drive to campus, not returning home until 9 p.m. But when wildfires cut off his access to the school for several weeks, Dinsmore says he decided to pivot and find full-time work, not wanting to sit idle.

He landed a job with Caltrans in January, moved into a Redding home with his fiancé and started working 12-hour days doing road work and clearing snow. Dinsmore says he’d wake up every day at 4 a.m. to have some coffee and shower before feeding the horses and doing some work on the property. Then he’d head off to work, making sure he always arrived 30 minutes before his shift. He said he loved the job for Caltrans because it gave him the chance to help people, noting that he’d pack extra water when it was hot to offer to homeless people or anyone in need he’d come across, and recalling with a smile how he helped an elder and a pregnant woman put chains on their tires in the snow. Dinsmore also says he re-connected with his two daughters, who were both little when he was sent to prison but are now grown, with six children between them.

Not content to sit idle, Dinsmore says he started a big garden at his house, growing cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, watermelon and more.

“I loved being able to grow my own stuff,” he says with a sigh, adding that he would also mow the lawn frequently because it smelled like “productivity — it’s fresh.”

“I absolutely love my freedom,” he says, noting he’s keenly aware of all he missed out on during his time in custody. “You start realizing that your family and your friends, and especially your kids and your grandkids, are the only things that matter.”

But while Dinsmore was settling into his second chance, the district attorney’s appeal was moving forward. A staff attorney with the First District Appellate Project, Richard Braucher, had agreed to represent Dinsmore but he faced an uphill battle.

While no one was disputing that Dinsmore had been rehabilitated, the district attorney’s office continued to argue that the law simply didn’t support Feeney’s order.

Honsal, for his part, says he was glad prosecutors decided to appeal. He says he holds no ill will toward Dinsmore, who was two years behind him at Eureka High School, but he’s “not in favor of judges not following the law or arbitrarily following the law.”

“I’m not saying I don’t believe in rehabilitation — I do. But I also believe in people repaying their debt to society,” he says, adding that he believes Dinsmore’s debt is his original sentence. “We want the system of justice to treat everyone equitably under the law.”

District Attorney Stacey Eads did not respond to a Journal inquiry regarding her views on Dinsmore’s case by the time this story went to press.

By the time the California First District Court of Appeals issued a ruling in Dinsmore’s case, Braucher had already begun working toward a legislative solution to giving judges more retroactive authority to strike firearms sentencing enhancements, working with Assemblymember Philip Ting to craft what would become Assembly Bill 600.

But before the bill could come to a vote on the Assembly floor, the appellate court reversed Feeney’s order resentencing Dinsmore and releasing him from custody, finding the judge had overstepped the law.

However, within the ruling, Dinsmore and his attorneys found a glimmer of hope in the form of a footnote that said: “In light of defendant’s post-conviction efforts and community support, the prosecution may wish to exercise its discretion in favor of considering appropriate alternatives to returning defendant to state prison for the remainder of his term.”

So when Dinsmore arrived in Humboldt County Superior Court for a post-appeal hearing on Aug. 29, he was optimistic, so much so, in fact, that he wore his Caltrans uniform, expecting to leave court and head to work. But when Feeney asked prose-

Steven Dinsmore expected to return to work after he appeared for an Aug. 29 court hearing, showing up in his Caltrans uniform. Instead, he was taken into custody to serve another 10 years in state prison. Submitted cutors if they would consider alternatives to sending Dinsmore back to prison they reportedly refused, at which point Feeney had no choice. Despite requests to be given 30 days — or even three — to get his affairs in order, Dinsmore was handcuffed and taken into custody.

“My heart dropped,” he says.

Dinsmore has been

in a state of purgatory since, held in the Humboldt County jail, his transfer to state prison stayed at his attorney Ben McLaughlin’s request. Meanwhile, A.B. 600 has worked its way through the Legislature, passed by both the Senate and the Assembly amid a flurry of votes on Sept. 13 before the close of session.

Since then, Dinsmore says he’s been calling his attorneys daily to see if the governor has taken action. On Oct. 8, he got the news he was looking for: Gov. Gavin Newsom had signed the bill into law.

But exactly where things go from here is a bit unclear, as the new law won’t take effect until Jan. 1. While it seems from past comments and actions that Feeney would be inclined to exercise his new legal authority to reduce Dinsmore’s sentence and again order him released, almost three months remain until he has the ability to do so.

Ben McLaughlin, Dinsmore’s attorney, says a hearing is set in the case for Oct. 16 to figure out how to proceed. McLaughlin says he will ask that Dinsmore be released to the supervision of Humboldt County probation or state parole until his sentence can be officially reduced in January, but it’s unclear whether prosecutors will oppose the request.

But McLaughlin says he believes it’s only a matter of time — at most months, not years — before Dinsmore is again a free man.

“He is very excited and I think he’s going to be a lot of help to a lot of people,” McLaughlin says, adding that it’s been very rewarding to work on behalf of someone so deserving of another chance.

Talking to the Journal a couple days before Newsom signed A.B. 600, Dinsmore says he has mixed feelings about the bill, saying he knows “there are probably a few people who will get out that shouldn’t” but that there are also people like him, who deserve another chance. While frustrated to be back in custody, Dinsmore says incarceration taught him patience.

“You learn patience in here because you can’t get nothing immediately,” he says, noting that if you order some coffee or peanut butter through the commissary system on Sunday, it doesn’t arrive until Thursday.

“It’s never even tomorrow. It’s a week from tomorrow, two weeks from tomorrow.”

But he says 15 months of life outside also taught him the importance of now and the true value of time, noting that he lost grandparents while in custody as his daughters grew up and gave birth to grandchildren he wasn’t there to meet.

Staring through the Plexiglass partition, he says, “I think a lot of people who are free don’t realize what they have.” ●

ver three years of pandemic-era takeout, we’ve reused the plastic containers from curries and quesabirria tacos to share leftovers, distribute cookies and trap the occasional errant spider. But we needn’t have accumulated quite so many of them.

In July of 2019, Assembly Bill 619 passed, updating California Retail Food Code to allow businesses to fill customers’ clean, reusable containers with food (or allow patrons to refill those containers themselves, in the case of self-serve bars and buffets). So long as customers’ glass, plastic, wood or aluminum containers meet proper standards and vendors follow sanitation and hygiene protocols, we can skip the single-use plastic and other lingering packaging that, despite sometimes being billed as eco-friendly, contain potentially harmful chemicals and/or still don’t break down in landfills.

Jacques Moua says he’s had several customers bring their own containers to his Nou Nou’s food truck, and others have cleaned and brought back his 38-ounce containers to be reused. He’s happy to fill them with his fried rice, ramen and phô.

“It’s actually kind of nice because the containers I use are kind of pricey.” Heat-proof

bowls like the plastic ones Nou Nou’s usually uses can run $35 for a stack of 75. When he first opened the truck, he’d hoped to use more eco-friendly options, and he admits he goes through more plastic than he’d like.

Once a week, however, Moua uses paper containers with plastic lining. “That’s the only way we can serve soup at the Friday Night Market,” he says, because of the event’s plastic waste-minimizing requirements. But even those lidded cups, he says, don’t match up to Arcata’s 2020 ordinance requiring disposable foodware to be “fiber-based compostable and free of fluorinated chemicals (PFAS).” PFAS, frequently used for making containers waterproof, don’t break down in landfills, and can contaminate water and bioaccumulate in wildlife.

For Moua, meeting Arcata’s standard is not feasible, given the cost of fully compostable cups and bowls, and the fact that it’s hard to find containers that can safely make the trip home with a serving of noodles and soup as hot as Nou Nou’s turns them out. “It’s nice when people bring their own containers; there’s no complaints on this side at all.”

Esmeralda Hernández, an owner of the Los Giles Taqueria truck, echoes Moua’s

willingness to serve customers with containers from home, saying she “absolutely would,” though she hadn’t ever been asked. She’s not alone; Roman’s Kitchen cook Ishmael Mendes also says he’s ready to put the truck’s popular burgers in customers’ containers, but nobody has made the request.

Operating mainly in Arcata, Hernández’s crew regularly uses compostable containers, even in other parts of the county.

“They’re kind of pricey but, you know, it’s for the better of the Earth.” While burritos get a swaddling in foil, the packaging Los Giles sends out its carne asada fries, nachos and tacos in costs $30 to $43 per 100 boxes, she says, depending on where they can source them. Sturdier serving boxes for fried chimichangas run $55 for 120 containers. And the margins in food businesses are often small enough for every penny to count.

While neither Moua nor Hernández had heard of AB 619 and the official protocols, they both say they and their staffs are already following procedures to avoid cross-contamination that match the California Food Code updates. The updates require that the container be isolated from other food and serving surfaces, possibly with a barrier like a sheet of deli paper, or that the surface be sanitized immediately after removal. Serving utensils are not to touch the customer’s container; if the implements make contact, employees must swap them out for new sanitized ones.

Moua says he and his team only take a container from the customer once the order is ready for packing. “When a customer hands us their containers, they stay in our hands and I always have my employees switch their gloves [after handling it].”

After nearly 20 years in food service, he says, “It’s kind of like second nature to be sanitary anyways, that’s how I run my food truck.”

Hernández doesn’t see much of a challenge taking customer containers. “I’ve seen other people who’ve done it,” she says, adding she’s heard of vendors offering small discounts, too. In fact, Arcata’s Ordinance No. 1527 tacks on a $0.25 charge onto each order served in single-use containers. It also states, “Food Vendors must offer a minimum $0.25 discount [per order] for customers who bring their own

Nou Nou’s ribeye phô special in a plastic-lined paper container at Friday Night Market in Old Town. reusable foodware for takeout food and beverage.”

As the cost of ingredients and gas climb, Hernández welcomes the potential savings of using customer containers.

“We don’t want to bring up the prices even though things are going up,” she says. “Most of our customers used to be students at Cal Poly Humboldt and they’re struggling.”

Not every box or bag from home is suitable for takeout. According to California Retail Food Code, businesses may only serve food in clean, durable foodware that is: “A. Safe; B. Durable, corrosion resistant and nonabsorbent; C. Sufficient in weight and thickness to withstand repeated warewashing; D. Finished to have a smooth, easily cleanable surface; and E. Resistant to pitting, chipping, crazing, scratching, scoring, distortion and decomposition.”

So, that cracked orange container that still smells like marinara is not going to work and neither is the cardboard box you got takeout in last time.

And while the new rules say businesses “may” fill proper home containers, they do not say they “must.” Call ahead and make sure the restaurant, truck or other food business you’re hitting up is willing and prepared to load your casserole dish with hot wings.

But if you can use your own container, those wings may make it home a little hotter and disappear without leaving all that plastic behind. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 • northcoastjournal.com

umboldt’s weather is great for making art,” says Arcata artist Anna Oneglia. “I love rain and even fog makes for good long studio days.”

As she spoke via Zoom, Oneglia was sitting on a porch, iridescent green fronds swaying behind her under an ironically blue, cloudless sky. She was house sitting in Hawaii, far from her home in the foggy Arcata Bottoms. But it turns out that trading her services, applying for residencies in foreign countries and house sitting are all strategies she uses to help her thrive as a painter and printmaker.

Having grown up in New York City, Oneglia began traveling at 19, living in Europe and painting and cooking to earn an income. “It was much easier back then! My rent in Greece was only $15 a month.” Her first husband, a Dutchman whom she met while living in Amsterdam, wanted to live in the U.S., so they moved to Trinidad in 1975, and she’s lived in Humboldt off and on ever since.

Oneglia’s art embraces many forms: oil painting on canvas, mixed media on paper, drawings and block prints. Her current favorite is oils. “Painting has flow and is not fixed, can keep changing and be continually reimagined and reinterpreted,” she says. “I tend to work in series, with one idea leading to another, and on many paintings at the same time, as each has its own pace and progression.” She paints in a variety of sizes because small pieces are quicker to complete and can offer comic

relief, allowing for more intuitition and spontaneity. “I can move between pieces if I’m stuck or uncertain about what to do next,” she adds.

Her art is saturated with deep color, whether it’s a dancing version of the Hindu god Ganesha, or a woman in a sari riding a bicycle. Bicycles are a recurring theme in her work, as are the ocean, nature, sacred female imagery across spiritual lineages, musicians and motifs from her varied travels, especially from Asia. Sometimes she blends several interests together, such as her series of large paintings of gods and goddesses riding bicycles, a form of transit that was disappearing in India when she began spending winters there in 2009. Whimsically, they’re all holding cell phones. Her work can be seen in the newly remodeled Food for People’s pantry, at the Redwood Community Health Center on Buhne Street, at the Arcata Artisans gallery on the plaza and on her website, annaoneglia.com.

Oneglia draws every day, filling her sketchbook with images of places, friends and whatever interests her, whether at the Arcata Farmers Market or in Fujiyoshida, a town at the base of Mt. Fuji, where she spent the month of April on an artist’s residency. Every day there, she created a daily mixed media painting on paper, each one including the mountain, which looms large over the town. She’s now mounting the 32 paintings onto panels with different decorative Japanese papers.

Her drawings become starting points

Anna Oneglia in her studio. Photo by Louisa Rogers for paintings. In her studio she combines and transfers images to the canvas with brush and oil paint, adding collaged bits of gold leaf, paper and stamps collected on her travels.

She also has a series of block prints, carved in wood or linoleum and hand colored, with a quotation within the design.

Different mediums, she says, use distinct parts of the brain. “Painting is spontaneous. I can paint, then wipe it away if I want. With block printing, I can’t get back what’s been carved away. I have to think in reverse and plan ahead what I’ll print or how I’ll use negative space.”

Because Oneglia believes art should be accessible to everyone, the quote prints are also available as postcards.

One print, “No Mud, No Lotus,” a quote from the late Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thích Nhất Hạnh, is shown with a hand holding a lotus flower. She created this for the friends and patrons who helped raise funds for her to go to India one year to attend a teaching by the Dalai Lama. Oneglia has been a Buddhist most of her adult life, beginning her meditation practice at Plum Village, Thich Nhất Hạnh’s retreat center in southern France.

Over the years she has had to figure out how to do just enough of the business side to allow her to spend most of her time creating. Making art as a living “has often been challenging, has a long learning curve and is probably very impractical, but somehow it’s worked,” she says. In the early ’80s, she had a small business

delivering pastries to cafes in Arcata and she’s also cooked for painting and meditation retreats. She kept the sideline work to a minimum because she needs the quiet time to make things. “It’s how I stay grounded in the world.”

Hoping to make a better living from art, she moved to Santa Cruz in 1985, where she participated in Open Studios for the first time. “It taught me so much about showing and selling art and dealing with the public. Some people think you’re a goddess, others give you backhanded insults. You just learn to ride with the comments.”

She returned to Humboldt in 2015, after Santa Cruz grew too crowded and expensive. She bought a house, built a studio with her son’s help, joined Arcata Artisans, and donated art to nonprofits and fundraisers to give back. A fan of the North Coast Open Studios, she participates most years.

Oneglia travels a couple months of the year but she loves returning to her studio.

The beauty of the North Coast inspires her, as well as the general spaciousness, lack of traffic and, as a lifelong cyclist, the bike-friendliness. “I love that this part of California has changed the least of any place I’ve known in the 50 years I’ve lived in the state.” l

SETLIST

Horrorville

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

T

here are so many shows this week that I had to be a lot more discerning than usual and carve my list down to a manageable size. An embarrassment of riches I’ll gladly take. My social battery isn’t where it used to be but it’s slowly recharging, and beyond everything else, I’m sure we could all use a few distractions. Having to confront the horrors of the world is one thing but we’re in a uniquely bad place where worldwide information is within easy reach, while vetting the veracity of that information is nearly nonexistent. Critical thinking is a pastime that enjoys about as much popularity in our country as the game of cricket, and observing or reading about past events as a means of understanding the current state of things is as rare a skill here as using a slide rule or sculpting by hand with marble. It’s not quite extinct but there’s a definite drought. Anyway, there are enough horrors out there to overwhelm, so I can’t really blame anyone who abstains from viewing. Maybe it’s good to take a vaccine-dose of the stuff in the form of movies to toughen our psyches for the reality of war. On that front, I suggest maybe one of the greatest anti-war films ever made, Come and See, which leaves no space for heroics and valor. If that grim Soviet World War II bunker buster seems too heavy, maybe check out the 1966 Alan Bates film, an absurdist comedy set during World War I called King of Hearts.

Or you can skip movie night and check out the music scene below. Cheers.

Thursday

The Sanctuary is continuing its run of unique gigs. Tonight’s show is part of the Cozy Classicals series, where, if you come at 6 p.m., you can enjoy a nice vegetarian soup and salad supper before the music.

If you have other dining plans, you can enjoy the latter at 7 p.m. Tonight’s artist is the classical guitarist and instructor Jennifer Trowbridge, who has had a good working relationship with this space since the pandemic days of streaming-only gigs.

The cost is a sliding scale $20-$50, with the former price buying the “show only” package. I believe there’s a mid-tier compromise at $30, but I suggest you swing by

and find out for yourself because this is a bargain any way you slice it.

Friday (the 13th!)

It’s Halloween Jr., and the last Friday the 13th of this year, in the void shadow of a new moon, no less. There are so many shows happening tonight, so I’m going to snag a few and give you the most basic info because, like the Allman Brothers song goes, I “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More.”

At 8 p.m. the Arcata Playhouse is the rendezvous to see bluegrass pioneer Laurie Lewis and her band The Right Hands ($18, $16 for Playhouse members).

An hour later brings you three more show options: Reggae masters Kabaka Pyramid at the Arcata Theatre Lounge ($30, $25 advance). Wild and caustic comedian Eddie Pepitone at Savage Henry Comedy Club ($20). And finally, the Miniplex is hosting a Los Angeles synth goth expo, with headlining group RIKI presenting tourmates Dream_Mega, with local DJ Satanica spinning in the main bar room all night ($15).

Got it? Good.

Saturday

As we ramp up to a weekday Halloween — a Tuesday, no less — we must remember that the entire month of October is open spooky season, and the weekends are our quarry. Tonight is no exception, with local odd pop outfit Cemetery Boys throwing a costume-friendly party at the Miniplex at 9 p.m. Advance tickets are going for $5, double that if you pay at the door, which is still a bargain price for a decent Monster Mash.

Sunday

Hanneke Cassel has returned to our area with her band. What does this mean for the listening public? Well, quite a lot if you have an interest in hearing the Cape Breton fiddle-style of Gaelic folk reels mixed with the soulful Americana of traditional string sounds found everywhere from the Canadian Maritimes to the Cajun Prairies of Louisiana. The Boston-based Cassel is a master on the fiddle, and extremely well-versed in the deep roots of her preferred style. This is an excellent show for an autumn evening and a treat for us all at 7 p.m. ($18).

20 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 • northcoastjournal.com

RIKI plays the Miniplex on Friday, Oct. 13 at 9 p.m. Submitted

Monday

Hey ho, let’s go, hey ho, let’s go. Another Metal Monday at Savage Henry, an all-ages gig, too, I.D. to drink. A $5 to $10 door fee, at 7 p.m. now, I can’t keep this up though, the Blitzkrieg Bop. Yeah, enough of the novelty of trying to fit this entry into the cadence of a Ramones song (I still love you, Joey!). Most of the bands tonight are from Eugene, Oregon, with power violence band Prager Youth joining crust punks Ausekara and — now this is interesting — a ska/crust band called Wake of Disaster. Sounds like a fitting name but who knows? Local support from queer noise merchants The Groomers.

Tuesday

Oh boy, this one’s a delight to announce. To his many fans gained over his decades of rap innovation, he needs no introduction, but for everyone else, listen up. Kool Keith is in town tonight at 8 p.m. at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. With his incredible discography filled with plenty of guest spots and aliases — my personal favorite alter-ego is Dr. Octagon, and everyone should hear the Dr. Octagonecologyst record at least once — Kool Keith has built his eternal throne in the

pantheon of hip hop innovators. This midweek show is going for a steal, too. It’s $20 at the door, $15 if you buy in advance.

Even if you’re just curious, that’s a bargain for a legend.

Wednesday

Movie night! Two features but you have to pick one because the 7:30 p.m. showtimes clash. The Arcata Theatre Lounge is playing Killer Klowns from Outer Space, which is a certified kult klassic.

Get there a bit earlier if you want to snag a seat, and 6 p.m. is a good time to settle in for the pre-show and raffle. Just $5 gets you inside, but $9 gets the same and you leave with a poster.

Over at the Miniplex, there’s a remix of the classic dystopian anime Akira with a new, live spun soundtrack courtesy of DJ Pandemonium Jones. This one should be interesting, although I can’t imagine how to re-track this film. I was so obsessed with the original soundtrack that it was the house music for my truck for nearly a year. I trust in our DJ, though. He’s good. ● Collin Yeo (he/him) is not particularly proud of his species, let alone his race or nationality. He lives in Arcata.

SCREENS

Character Star

Reptile and Dahl via Anderson

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com REPTILE. There are character actors and there are movie stars, and in between is Benicio Del Toro. Like many, I first became fully aware of Del Toro with The Usual Suspects (1995), written by the now-anointed Christopher McQuarrie and directed by the lately canceled Hollywood monster Bryan Singer. Standing out among a cast of standouts, Del Toro, as Fenster, seared himself into my adolescent consciousness with his mind-boggling line readings, fascinating physicality and undeniable, often discomfiting charisma. He had been working steadily for some years but The Usual Suspects proved to be a career turn, moving him out of the shadows of guest- pots and supporting roles and into prominence as one of the most compelling, confounding leading men in modern movies.

By now, of course, Del Toro has taken a few paycheck jobs; I suppose one can’t really blame him. But the bulk of his career has been defined by discernment and exploration. He elects to work with writers and directors with something to say, taking on complex, sometimes self-debasing roles and building them into indelible characters. Sometimes he’s hilarious and sometimes he’s horrifying, but he is always at the center of the frame.

Reptile is something of an anomaly on Del Toro’s CV, as he co-wrote the screenplay with Benjamin Brewer and director Grant Singer (a prolific music video helmer), for whom this is a feature debut. He plays detective Tom Nichols, recently relocated from Philadelphia to sleepier Scarborough.

We learn, through some exposition that could perhaps be more delicately handled, that Tom’s previous partner had a penchant for some less-than-legal extracurriculars.

Pressure on Tom and his wife, Judy (Alicia Silverstone), to protect the guy escalated rapidly to harassment, hence the move.

As the movie opens, Tom and his partner Dan (Ato Essandoh) catch a murder case that gradually reveals itself to be the outermost layer of a ball of concentric lies. There’s a family of realtors, represented primarily by the bereaved would-be fiancé Will (Justin Timberlake), a shady ex-boyfriend (Karl Glusman) and an aggrieved former real-estate client (Michael Carmen Pitt). Not to mention the perhaps too-clubby police department itself.

One could, not unfairly, accuse this plot of being boilerplate, or iterative. By the same token, though, it’s a multi-genre exercise: a

procedural, a mystery and a thriller. And, in its defense, the material is elevated by Singer’s treatment of it, with his slow, deliberate camera movements, masterful sense of pace and moody incorporation of the musical score. And the cast, which also includes Frances Fisher, Eric Bogosian and Domenick Lombardozzi, is up for all of it.

Thirty years ago, this movie likely would have been a big theatrical hit, maybe even an awards contender. But then again, 30 years ago we would have had a half-dozen other grown-up thrillers with stacked casts to compare it to. And in light of the competition, perhaps we would have dwelt on the Reptile’s sense of its own cleverness, of its occasional ellipses and somewhat heavy-handedly unexplained symbolism. Hard to say, as that age of moviedom is dead and buried.

In the relative vacuum of contemporary culture, Reptile stands above and apart from the few comparable attempts anybody has made at the form. It represents, hopefully, the beginning of something for Singer, who brings a unique, sturdy vision to bear. And, of course, it is an opportunity for us to enjoy late-period Del Toro, suffused with concern, grief and menace as he subtly dominates every scene. R. 136M. NETFLIX. THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR; THE SWAN; THE RAT CATCHER; POISON. Roald Dahl becomes an ever-more contentious figure for his reported personal bigotry and his published work, it would seem, but I will admit here that perhaps no other single author — James Ellroy, maybe — has had a greater impact on my sense of the possibilities of imagination and literature. For a brief period, his was the most prominent voice in my head; as a pre-adolescent I read Matilda twice in one sitting. Nerds will be nerds.

Similarly, in the late, lamented 1990s (those halcyon days of probably equally problematic independent cinema) Wes Anderson became one of the new major lights of American movies, one whose next project I eagerly awaited and whose beyond-deliberate sense of visual composition and maudlin streak were deeply soothing.

It makes perfect sense that Anderson is a Dahl acolyte — I don’t mean to suggest any untoward shared ethnic notions — as he creates, in combining sight and sound, an analog to Dahl’s deceptively simple, warm embrace storytelling. He previously adapted Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) with an A-list cast

Me oversharing because I don’t get out that much. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and maybe too-cute Rankin-Bass style animation. Now he has taken on four of Dahl’s short stories (spanning several decades of his writing career) and staged them as a series of shorts, using the same primary cast for them all (Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Ayoade, Ben Kingsley, Rupert Friend, Dev Patel) and setting them on always-evident sound stages.

As I age, I find I have less and less to say about Anderson’s work; I cannot say whether this reflects more poorly on me or him. That said, I should assert my continuing admiration for his work and for his unfailing imagination. But I find our tastes have diverged.

With this project, wherein characters rattle off Dahl’s prose as in-frame narrators and stage-hands dip in and out, and dialogue is addressed directly to camera, it feels more than ever that Anderson is staging a goofy arts and crafts project with his friends, a more earnest version of one of his own characters. It’s admirable but decidedly a lesser work. NETFLIX. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

Trustee Sale No 032422 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources. you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (628)946-4376 or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S. #032422 information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (628)946-4376, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S. #032422 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Lopez, or visit this internet website www. harlandlaw.com using the file number assigned to this case NOD 2023-007278 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

FIELD NOTES

Humboldt Bay Timeline

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt Bay (Wigi, to the Wiyot people) is actually a lagoon, the largest protected large body of water between San Francisco and Puget Sound. It’s about 14 miles long and varies in width between a few hundred yards and 5 miles, with an area between 11 (low tide) and 24 (high tide) square miles. What follows is a selective timeline: 10,000 BC Rapid sea level rise as Earth enters a warming period following the last Ice Age, flooding a wide river valley that originally drained three rivers: Eel (cut off

by Table Bluff during the Pleistocene), Mad (which cut its way to Pacific north of Humboldt Bay) and Elk (which still drains into Humboldt Bay).

5,000 BC The common Algic ancestor of what would become the Yurok and Soulatluk (Wiyot) languages was last spoken

by Indigenous people living west of Lake Superior (or perhaps on the Columbian Plateau) before they migrated south and evolved separate and mutually unintelligible languages.

900 AD — or possibly hundreds of years earlier, Wiyot people arrive at Wigi, (again, in Soulatluk). They would establish about 100 villages on the shores of the bay.

1542-1775 Entrance to Humboldt Bay missed by many navigators, including Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo (Portuguese, first European to explore California); Francis Drake (English explorer and circumnavigator); Sebastián Vizcaíno (Spanish); George Vancouver (English); Alessandro Malaspina (Tuscan-Spanish); Bruno de Heceta and Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra (who landed at Tsurai/Trinidad 1775).

1741 Vitus Bering, Danish navigator in service to the Russian Tsar Peter the Great, sails across what is now called the Bering Strait to Alaska, initiating Russian interest in North America.

1799 Russian-American Co. formed by Nikoli Rezanov, with the aim of promoting Russian commerce in Alaska and the west coast of North America, particularly the sea otter trade.

1803 Captain Jonathan Winship (from Massachusetts, part-owner of the 280-ton trading ship O’Cain) enters into a joint venture with Aleksandr Baranov (Russian governor of Alaska) to hunt sea otters (prized for their lush, silky fur), resulting in a successful voyage.

1806 Second voyage of the O’Cain sailing from New Archangel (later Sitka)

Google Earth, imagery 5/8/03-5/9/23, data SIA, NOAA, US Navy, NGA, GEBCO with 100 Kodiak and Aleut hunters and their baidarkas (skin-covered kayaks). The ship anchored off North Spit in June, when the crew walked across the spit and “discovered” Humboldt Bay. The hunters in their baidarkas killed hundreds of sea otters within a week. The Russians mapped the lagoon, calling it Rezanov Bay on a chart published in St. Petersburg a year later, but kept it secret.

1841 Charles Wilkes, U.S. Navy captain, explored the coast between Coos Bay and San Francisco Bay, (lacking the Rezanov chart) concluding, “No ports exist ... it is an iron-bound shore.”

1849 October-December, Josiah Gregg and seven others set out from near Helena to the Pacific, hoping to find an easy supply route for gold miners working the headwaters of the Trinity River. The six-week expedition was, according to L.K. Wood, “constant and unmitigated toil, hardship privation and suffering.” They arrived at Wigi/Humboldt Bay from the north, having reached the Pacific near Little River. Gregg died on the return trip.

1850 April 9, schooner Laura Virgina enters what Captain Douglas Ottinger will name “Humboldt Bay” after the Prussian naturalist-explorer. Expulsion or enslavement of Wiyot people by Europeans begins.

1860 Feb. 26, the worst of many local massacres of Native people, at the Wiyot village of Tuluwat, when up to 200 mostly women and children were murdered during a World Renewal ceremony.

1972 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers placed 4,796 dolosse (singular: dolos), each weighing 42 tons, on the north and south jetties to prevent erosion. One more, No. 1972, is now at Madaket Plaza. (Another thousand were placed in 1983.)

2019 Oct. 21, the city of Eureka deeds all of its remaining land on Tuluwat Island to the Wiyot tribe. l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) knows some of these mud flats intimately, having been stuck on them in his kayak.
