Nothing to See Here By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n case you missed it, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors decided Oct. 16 that you don’t get to have input into how the county fairgrounds are operated or how public funds are spent to maintain them. The board voted 4-1, with Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson dissenting, to approve an eight-year lease with the Humboldt County Fair Association to put on the county fair and manage the 65-acre fairgrounds located in the city of Ferndale. But in approving the lease, the board declined to include a provision that would have made the association abide by state open meeting laws and the California Public Records Act. In explaining the change, County Counsel Jeff Blanck said the lease will require the association to turn over its financial records, with the financial health of the fair being the county’s primary concern. We think this isn’t good enough and that four-fifths of the board has made a tremendous error in judgment. Imagine for a moment that the California Department of Parks and Recreation handed over management of Humboldt Redwoods State Park to a nonprofit, giving it complete control over its 53,000 acres, its more than 100 miles of trails and 250 campsites. But the nonprofit wouldn’t be required to hold open meetings to discuss park maintenance, how much it would charge to rent out those campsites or what type of special events the park would host. Or imagine that the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District decided it should just lease out management of Woodley Island Marina to a nonprofit without any requirement that it hold public meetings, create a public record of its decisions or take input into how public funds are being spent to maintain a public facility. Pretty unimaginable, right? But that’s just what the county did in Ferndale, giving the association control over a 65-acre public property and a community institution without any requirement that it make decisions in the light of day. Let’s take a quick minute here to talk about the Ferndale Enterprise. The supervisors’ decision isn’t really about the Cream City’s plucky weekly but Board Chair and Fifth District Sueprvisor Ryan Sundberg said it’s “almost a shame that (the association is) getting bullied by a local newspaper,” so that seems worth addressing. By “bullying,” we can only assume Sundberg means the Enterprise’s repeatedly taking the association to court to force it to abide by the terms of its last lease with the county. A judge ruled in the Enterprise’s favor in one of those suits and the association quickly

settled two others, agreeing to turn over the requested documents as required by law. But again, this shouldn’t be about the Enterprise. It should be about good government. Fair Association Executive Director Richard Conway appeared at the supervisors’ Oct. 16 meeting and stressed that the association’s meetings are open to the public and lamented the fact that few people show up and the board doesn’t get more community participation. Our interest piqued, we went to the association’s website. We clicked on the “participate” tab, figuring that must be where the association posted its meeting agendas and invited public input. Nope, turns out it’s just where you can enter an exhibit for the fair, learn about its contests, find a job application or become a vendor or sponsor. We moved on and clicked on the “calendar” tab, figuring the association probably would put its board meetings on its online calendars, right? Nope. Other than the fair itself, the association doesn’t seem to have anything on its online calendars. And that’s the thing. If the association were forced to abide by California’s Ralph M. Brown Act, it would have to post its meeting agendas in advance so the public could, you know, get an idea of what’s up for discussion and actually make plans to attend, provide input and “participate.” It would force the association board to discuss most of its business — save for personnel matters, litigation and some contract negotiations — in public, so folks could weigh in on maintenance plans and whether the fairgrounds should host motorcycle races, concerts and cannabis festivals, to name a few. We’ve quoted it here before but fear our board of supervisors needs to see it again. The preamble of the California Public Records Act succinctly states: “The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist they may retain control over the institutions they have created.” Make no mistake, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors just decided it isn’t good for you to know exactly what the association is doing on 65 acres of property that you own, and it just ceded control of one of the institutions you created to an association that will exercise that control behind closed doors. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Terry Torgerson

Vote Bergel! Editor: I support Kim Bergel for Eureka City Council Ward 5 because she truly listens to everyone in the community. Kim works to solve problems in Eureka by bringing people together rather than dividing us. A good example was the vacation of Palco marsh. Kim worked diligently to open communication between the homeless population at the marsh and the programs that came there to try and find housing for them. Her willingness to work to foster communication helped to make the process less difficult for both the homeless population and the people of Eureka. It’s fashionable in politics today to demonize people who don’t think like you, but how does that stance improve our community? Listening and hearing people of differing opinions results in often unique and valuable solutions to the issues that face our city. Don’t forget to vote on Nov. 6. Your voice is important. Linda Atkins, Eureka

Vote Castellano! Editor: Leslie Castellano is a welcome breath of fresh air in this turbulent storm of name-calling politics. She brings compassion and common sense to the table that is open for everyone to participate. She’s been an active member of the art and culture scene for years, promoting those around her to do and be better. Vote for Leslie Castellano for Ward 1 because it’s the right thing to do. Jasmin Segura, Eureka

Editor: When I met Leslie five years ago, I was intimidated by the reputation that preceded her: the best aerialist in town, an accomplished artist dedicating her life to her work and the director of a thriving art space, Synapsis. On our first meeting, my feelings of intimidation vanished and I was struck by her humility, welcoming smile and genuine interest in including me as a part of her community. Since then, we’ve become colleagues, friends and mutual supporters. We have produced shows together at Synapsis Nova; a venture which serves as a testament to her success as a business owner and purveyor of the arts. It is because of her ability to accomplish, paired with her passion for community and compassion for humanity, that I support her bid for city council. She will bring a new energy to the chambers while working tirelessly to benefit the lives of all Eurekans. McKenzie Dibble, Arcata Editor: It has been my pleasure to live and work in Eureka for the last 10 years. I have also experienced the unfortunate reality of Eureka’s rising property crime rates and I see every day the houseless people and families who live in the neighborhoods where I live and work. Eureka needs a city council that is at once compassionate, optimistic, inclusive and forward thinking in order to achieve real and lasting change that benefits all of our citizens. I believe Leslie Castellano has the passion, skills and experience that it takes to serve the diverse population that makes up Ward 1.

She has repeatedly proven her ability to work with varied groups of people to organize and bring projects to completion. I value the experience she has as a small business owner as well as a board member of the Ink People Center for the Arts. Leslie Castellano for Ward 1! Rachel Griffith, Eureka Editor: I’m a resident of Eureka’s Ward 1 writing to address our city council race. Like a lot of my neighbors, I work for a living and it’s sad to me how few folks in our straits vote, especially in local elections. Working folks seriously underestimate how qualified we are to judge candidates. A political campaign at its heart is a job interview and who better to judge job interviews than people who have to do them? Myself, I’ve had interviews where I knew the job and cared about doing it well and I’ve had interviews where I grasped at whatever I thought I needed to say to get hired. Watching the candidates for our ward’s seat on the city council, it’s become very clear to me the only one giving that first kind of interview is Leslie Castellano. Watch one of the candidate forums if you don’t believe me! Christopher Musgrave, Eureka

Editor: Empathy. Innovation. Action. As a society, these are the qualities that are necessary to create healthy, thriving communities that solve problems, embrace diversity and move toward a peaceful sustainability. As an artist and entrepreneur, Leslie Castellano has spent her career embracing these concepts. Leslie has a keen intellect, a big heart and a willing ear. She has embraced difficult conversations, has heard from people

from all walks of life and been moved to action on numerous issues. I could not agree more with Mr. Sanborn’s letter Oct. 18: Vote Castellano! The time has come to bring the artists to the table. To build empathy, inspire innovation and move us all to action. Eureka has this opportunity with Leslie Castellano. May the opportunity not be lost. Jacqueline Dandeneau, Blue Lake

Editor: Leslie Castellano is such an amazing person that it is hard to do her justice in a letter of 150 words or less. To me she is a kind, creative, humorous person who is my aerial silks teacher. To the community she is an artist, a performer, an activist and a volunteer. She is a very important person to the community and is one of the most caring, Continued on next page »

Editor: I have spent recent weeks canvassing with my daughter, Leslie Castellano, in Ward 1. Meeting neighbors, sharing ideas, hearing concerns, shaking hands — have all given me a sense of the community that Leslie has come to love and devote her talents to. It is hard to have Leslie so far from home the past 21 years, but I am so glad that the city of Eureka’s positive thinking and commitment to its people make it a great place to live and thrive. Thank you Ward 1 for your vote for Leslie and also to all who support her. Debra Self, Ft. Walton Beach, Florida Editor: I am writing in support of Leslie Castellano for Eureka City Council, Ward 1. Leslie’s organization, Synapsis, and the Black Faun Gallery have shared the first floor of the St. Vincent de Paul building in Old Town, Eureka, for two years. During that time, Leslie has demonstrated her tireless commitment to improving the quality of life for all Eureka residents, especially for some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Leslie is a supportive colleague in business and artistic endeavors with abundant intelligence and innately creative problem solving skills. The city of Eureka’s residents and businesses will benefit greatly with Leslie Castellano as a city council member. Claire Reynolds, Blue Lake northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

SORRY ABOUT YOUR ROAD…

compassionate, creative humans I’ve ever met. She is very inspiring! Leslie is a person who could bring whatever was needed to city council because she is smart, dynamic and hard-working. I’ve never met anyone like Leslie. She brings out the best in everyone and every situation. Leslie is very dedicated to what she believes in and I believe in her. I’m grateful to know her and call her my friend. Annalee Opal, Arcata

Vote Marks!

BUT LEON’S CAN REPAIR YOUR CAR! (707) 444-9636 é M-F 7:30-5:15 929 BROADWAY é EUREKA

Editor: I have known Richard Marks for nearly 30 years. I have known him through slowpitch softball and his work as a commissioner on the harbor district board. Richard recognizes the importance of a healthy Humboldt Bay to our local economy and our environment. His hard work for the last nine years on the harbor district board has been focused on making government efficient, ensuring that infrastructure is maintained and built to facilitate the needs of our economy while at the same time protecting the fisheries, wildlife and plant life that make Humboldt Bay a beautiful and productive resource. As a union leader, community board volunteer, volunteer softball commissioner and harbor commissioner, Richard has demonstrated his ability to work hard, to lead and to get things done. I urge you to vote for Richard Marks for Humboldt Bay harbor district commissioner. Tim Ash, Arcata

Vote Messner! Editor: Heidi is genuine with a spirit to help people reach their full potential; provide the tools and bring to the table each unique ability, alongside others, and accomplish things together. Some say being a pastor is a detriment but it’s an edge. Working with people from every walk of life and challenge is not only a benefit but one of the best platforms to get experience to lead. It provides real application in directing people of diverse groups through issues such as: addiction, family situations, homelessness, joblessness, loss and grief or tragedy. Perfection is often unobtainable. But to get close, we need Heidi as mayor of Eureka. The choice that can unify people and focus on solutions together. This is what Heidi does best. Elaine Watkins, Eureka

Vote Seaman! Editor: Susan Seaman, 27-year resident of Eureka, moves projects forward. “Youth, families, community, investment, prosperity” are themes that describe Susan. When she sees a spark of initiative, she keeps the flame burning in our small and large businesses. She knows that good work leads to healthy families and community. Susan sees the connections. What is good for Eureka is good for the region. Eureka is at a crossroads, literally and figuratively. The city council and staff work daily to make sure we visit the bay, the architectural richness of the neighborhoods and explore the diversity of the arts. Susan has experience and connections to lead on this exciting path to greater prosperity and self-confidence. She is the leader to remind us that we will be OK ... not without work but with vision and energy. As mayor, Susan Seaman will be a positive voice. Please vote Seaman for mayor. Julie Fulkerson, Eureka Editor: Here are a few of the reasons I support Susan Seaman to be mayor of Eureka. The mayor is the cheerleader. Friends describe Susan as “Eureka’s Booster in Chief.” She’s already doing that job; becoming mayor expands her platform. The mayor’s power to appoint people to the city’s commissions — planning, arts and culture, housing, transportation safety and many others — is an underappreciated duty in Eureka. It’s big and Susan will ensure that a wide and representative spectrum of people serve and have voices. It’s not often that we can vote for a candidate who is not only the most progressive person in the race but also the most knowledgeable about economic development and the most friendly to small businesses. Susan is all of those things. I encourage you to vote for Susan Seaman to be mayor. Michael Kraft, Eureka

Vote Watson! Editor: I want to recommend a vote for Brett Watson. I’ve worked with Brett as a member of the Arcata Economic Development Committee, which he chaired for two years, and as a fellow board member of Zero Waste Humboldt. In both contexts, he contributed great ideas, time, energy and a willingness to take on challenges and do the work. Continued on page 10

On council, he has shown his willingness to engage voters to solicit their ideas and opinions and be responsive, and to thoroughly investigate the issues and raise pertinent questions. He does his homework. In Brett, we also have the advantage of someone who is both an HSU graduate and small business owner, who understands the needs of both and works on a collaborative basis. He cares about the success of our community. So don’t forget to vote Nov. 6 and to vote for Brett. Jane Woodward, Arcata

Vote! Editor: Please vote in the November election. In person, by mail or drop off your vote by mail ballot on Election Day, Nov. 6. Last time I checked, we still had a democracy. Let’s keep it. If you live in Trinidad, vote for Tom Davies and Brett Gregory for city council. This is the first time in many years Trinidad has a contested election for city council positions. The current city council has ignored the residents’ wishes and is negotiating with Verizon for a new cell tower lease on Trinidad Head, a national monument. When the lease was renewed a year ago, against the residents’ wishes, they stated it would be the last year. Administrative payroll goes up every year, sometimes dramatically. We are approaching deficit spending. It’s time for a change. Vote! Alan Grau, Trinidad

Yes on 8! Editor: When I was working as a union representative for a healthcare workers’ union in Los Angeles, I got to meet healthcare workers in the dialysis industry. Most of these workers worked six days a week and faced appalling working conditions that put both their patients and themselves at risk. Some 80,000 Californians need dialysis to stay alive and that’s why voters need to vote yes on Proposition 8. This initiative makes the dialysis corporations accountable to improving patient care — getting rid of the cockroaches, the dried blood and understaffing that workers told me are far too common in the clinics. The industry is spending $100 million to scare us into thinking that clinics will close. These corporations made almost $4 billion in profits last year, so let’s make them spend that money on better patient care instead of enriching their executives and

Gattara You know this story: in the news they are reporting that when the old lady died they found 100 cats in her house – all well fed, strays, every one, living in the lap of luxury. Don’t be jealous, if in her will she left her millions to the mangy lot of them. Perhaps you were a stray once, too and understand what it is to be picked by the scruff and saved. Gattara (Italian, noun): an elderly woman who cares for stray cats — David Holper, from his new collection Language Lessons

shareholders. Patricia Thomas, McKinleyville

Measure K Editor: I will be voting for Measure K, the sanctuary Humboldt initiative. Measure K will not stop law enforcement officers from arresting anyone, of any nationality, whom they reasonably suspect of disobeying the law. Measure K will not cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. That estimate by a county staff person has been shown to be wrong. The sheriff and the probation department would be required to file a report on instances when they contacted ICE. For probation, the cost would be at most $2,500 and for the sheriff likely the same. Passage of Measure K would assure immigrants that they can visit our courts, medical facilities and schools knowing that county law enforcement officers they may encounter are there to protect all law-abiding people. Passage of Measure K will demonstrate that Humboldt County cares about keeping families together, and about protecting the human rights of everyone living here. Margaret Shaffer, Arcata Editor: Being logical, would a criminal be safer in a sanctuary county or not in a sanctuary county? According to the SW Border Patrol, these 2018 year-to-date seizures account for about 20 percent of the total that’s

crossing our border illegally and could make it to Humboldt. Once here, it’s up to ICE. People: 355,106 border apprehensions (includes families and unaccompanied children). Drugs: 6,423 pounds of cocaine; 532 pounds of heroin; 439,531 pounds of cannabis; 10,382 pounds of meth; 332 pounds of fentanyl. Gang apprehensions: 728. Additionally, in 2017, non-citizen women had children in the U.S. at a cost of $5.4 billion to the taxpayer. Yet, Measure K advocates say that Measure K will make our county safer and save money. Much more info and data can be seen at https://www.cbp. gov With invading thousands marching toward our border, sanctuary counties will be a planned prime destination. Vote no on Measure K! Rick Brennan, Eureka Editor: Concerned taxpayers should consider two things about Measure K. First, it prevents our tax money from being used to do ICE’s job by holding people in our jail for questioning or deportation. Second, it allows undocumented parents facing deportation to appoint extended family members or others to take in their U.S. born (citizen) children, enabling them to continue their education. If Measure K fails, those children will continue to be put into our beleaguered foster care system or into government “facilities” at far greater taxpayer expense. Vote yes on Measure K to protect our tax money for truly local use. Margaret Dickinson, Eureka

Measure M Editor: We would like to thank the following groups, organizations and businesses for supporting/endorsing no on Measure M: Humboldt PSL, Humboldt Buddhist Peace Fellowship, World Indigenous Women’s Alliance, Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples, The HOPE Coalition, Pan Arts, The Art of Removing Art, Save the Mattole’s Ancient Forest, The Bret Harte Breakers, musician Sarah Torres and The Cissies. We encourage Arcata voters to visit the city of Arcata website for documents about the removal of the statue at the center of our plaza. Information can also be found on our web site at www. nomckinley.com. Pamela Ann Brown, Arcata

Editor: We would like to thank the following groups, organizations and businesses for supporting/endorsing NO on Measure M: Wiyot Tribal Council, Yurok Tribal Council, North Coast Co-op, Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee, North Country Fair, Tsurai Ancestral Society, Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters, True North Organizing Network, HSU Department of Social Work, HSU Department of Critical Race, Gender and Sexuality Studies, HSU Department of Native American Studies, Northtown Coffee, Bueno Buttons, Raspberry Kitten, Renata’s Creperie, Northtown Books owner Dante DiGenova, Onyx Arcata, Yurok Designs and Photography, Arise Bakery, We Are Your Community, Club Ballet Folklorico de Humboldt, Word Humboldt, Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters and True North Board of Directors. We encourage Arcata voters to visit the city of Arcata’s website for documents about the removal of the statue at the center of our plaza. Information can also be found on our web site at www. nomckinley.com. Alice Woodworth, Eureka Editor: I like Bill McKinley, the guy who’s been hanging out in the Arcata Plaza since 1906. He should be removed, they tell us, because in the 1860s indigenous people were sold in the plaza. But that was not Bill. He was thousands of miles away fighting to free slaves in the South. They say Bill does not belong because he had nothing to do with Humboldt. But like Alexander von Humboldt, Bill has become one of us. At the Oyster Festival, I spotted him cleverly disguised as Poseidon, god of the sea, complete with a flowing beard and trident. At the Fairies Festival he carried a magic wand. As McKinley did in real life, his statue is always willing to help out. Our Bill has become as natural to the Plaza as the two beautiful — and not-at-all native — palm trees that tower majestically behind him. Vote yes on Measure M. Doug Ingold, Arcata Editor: The British recently erected a statue: a towering sculpture of a bull with the wings of an eagle and a human face. It is a Lamassu, an ancient Babylonian image created and positioned at city gates, to guard all humanity. The original stood in Iraq for almost 20 centuries. It was annihilated during the ongoing war initiated by the U.S. The replica at Trafalgar is made of thousands of crushed date syrup cans, once Iraq’s second most important export. Wartime

destroyed 30 million date palms, as well. Evidently the British do not regard statues as trivial. But we have been living with McKinley for over a century, like mice scampering around over Ozymandias. McKinley was, however, as Robert Merry and Dick Cheney have described him, the “architect of the new American century.” His government set the malignant pattern for U.S. imperialism. Put him away. No on M. Ellen Taylor, Petrolia Editor: As somebody who has written extensively about history and memory, I urge residents of Arcata to vote no on Measure M. A public memorial can acknowledge an atrocity or injustice committed against a large number of people in the past; celebrate social movements that have fought against injustice; and symbolize a community’s aspirations to create a society based on equality and dignity. The McKinley statue meets none of these criteria. As president, McKinley was associated with a war in the Philippines that practiced unspeakable repression (including “water boarding”) against thousands of Filipinos. Under his leadership, racism against African Americans increased. He did not support Native American movements for social justice. Moreover, the decision to erect the McKinley statue was made undemocratically by local elites. Post-McKinley, we should have an engaged public debate about how the Arcata Plaza can represent our aspirations for equality, justice and dignity. Tony Platt, Big Lagoon Editor: If Arcata had statues of historical figures scattered about town, and McKinley were one of them, there wouldn’t be a problem. But, in Arcata, we have one plaza and one statue. That statue is William McKinley and he stands as the symbolic center of our city, which is a big problem. Those pushing “yes” on Measure M, keeping McKinley on the plaza, portray him as a brave Union soldier and an advocate for the rights of enslaved people. They ignore McKinley’s leadership in the imperialist and brutal military conquests of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines and his lack of leadership in ending the oppression of black and Native people in America. Standing at the center of town, McKinley represents all citizens of Arcata. And no matter how you dress him up, he does not represent the values of most Arcatans. Remove McKinley! Please vote no on Measure M. Dave Meserve, Arcata

Yes on O! Editor: A long time Humboldt resident, I’ve seen economic conditions and communities wax and wane. But one thing stays the same: the need for essential services. Measure Z has hired sheriff’s deputies to patrol where none were available before. It’s helped rural EMS organizations provide service and much more. Basically, it worked! Why renew it every five years? It requires time, energy and funds to put on the ballot and promote, it will be fought by those who feel a tax, any tax, is just another “government grab.” We can vote it out later. For those worried about making it permanent because they don’t trust county government use of the funds, Measure O has safeguards: an Independent citizen’s advisory committee, financial audits and spending information as well as the fact that the process of allocating the funds is accessible to all. Also, it’s protected from state or federal government appropriation. Dottie Simmons, Dinsmore Editor: I have worked as a paramedic for 28 years in the Willow Creek area. Over the years, I have seen many positive life-saving outcomes due to Hoopa Ambulance being able to fund an Advance Life Support (ALS) Ambulance located in the Willow Creek area. Before we were relocated to the Willow Creek area, our response time was 25 minutes up to an hour. Due to the Measure Z funding, our response time for motor vehicle accidents on the 299 corridor is about 11 to 14 minutes, we are about an hour and 15 minutes from a Level 3 hospital. Our average response for medical calls is around five minutes, with an hour and 15 minute to a cardiac center. The Measure Z funding that is provided to the ambulance allows us to maintain ALS coverage 24/7. This saves lives. Please support Measure O. Rod Johnson, Orleans

Judge denies new trial, sentences Goldberg for murder By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

fter hearing emotional statements from Tim Smith’s family members and friends, visiting Judge Graham Cribbs sentenced Jon David Goldberg to 15 years to life in prison Oct. 19 for the Fortuna volunteer firefighter’s murder but struck down a firearm enhancement that would have added 25 years to his term. The judge handed down his decision after denying Goldberg’s petition for a new trial following a week of essentially conducting “a trial within a trial,” in which 10 jurors in the case were questioned in a closed courtroom about their conduct to probe defense allegations of misconduct by the jury foreperson. Cribbs also gave a 15-minute soliloquy about overseeing the trial, interposed with a few jokes and a pointed jab at one of the prosecutors’ punctuality, calling the case a “human tragedy” while recounting several versions of the sentiment that “we are all human beings, we all have failings.” “It’s mind-boggling to think things like this can happen over something ... I would say was foolish,” he said. Goldberg was found guilty of second degree murder in March for fatally shooting Smith in front of his son outside of the family’s Rohnerville Road home Sept. 26, 2016, shortly after finding out that the 42-year-old father of two had had an affair with his wife, a situation Cribbs made veiled references to in his courtroom address. In an unusual move for a murder defendant, Goldberg testified during his month-long trial, saying he shot Smith in self-defense when Smith grabbed his hand. The prosecution painted the picture of a premeditated murder in retaliation for his friend’s betrayal, according to media reports. While describing his reasoning for denying a new trial in the case, Cribbs explained that Goldberg’s defense counsel Casey Russo had presented enough evidence to question the jurors but the defense successfully rebutted the misconduct allegations. “The court made the finding that the

People had met that burden,” the judge said. In a strongly worded statement released after the Oct. 19 hearing, the Humboldt County Public Defender’s Office disputed that contention, saying Goldberg was denied a new trial despite “conclusive evidence” of jury misconduct. Also noted was Cribbs’ decision to close the jury questioning over defense objections, which were “based on the belief that one of the primary reasons we have open courts is to ensure transparency in our system and that transparency is essential to the protection of due process. “Unfortunately, the public did not get to see any part of a proceeding in this case that dealt with a crucial aspect of due process, the right to a fair and impartial jury,” the release continues. The request for a new trial centered on comments the jury foreperson reportedly made during deliberations about having served on a previous murder trial, including how that “defendant was convicted of first degree murder but only served eight years in state prison” and that “in California criminal defendants only do half of their sentences.” According to the public defender’s office, those were “gross misstatements” of sentencing law in murder cases aimed at one juror “who ultimately voted for second degree murder rather than manslaughter.” “Defense counsel believes, and it was argued before Judge Cribbs, that it takes no stretch of the imagination to understand how a person could succumb to pressure to vote for murder over manslaughter, upon being told that the sentence for murder is significantly lower than he/she believed,” the statement reads. “Despite the conclusive evidence that this misconduct occurred, the defense motion was nonetheless denied.” Cribbs’ decision to deny a new trial is subject to appeal, according to the public defender’s office. Several members of Smith’s family, including his sister and widow, addressed the court during the Oct. 19 hearing, giving

emotional statements about how their lives and those of their children have been irrevocably altered by Goldberg’s actions that day. “Fuck you, Jon Goldberg, excuse my language,” Smith’s sister Gigi said through sobs, describing Smith as a father figure in her life. “He never deserved. He never deserved this. He’ll never be with us again. … That’s my family. That’s my nephews’ daddy. You fucking took him away. ... I’m angry and I am hurt and devastated but remember, you never, never should have had in your mind to take someone’s life.” Smith’s widow, Jessica Springer, also spoke, saying the couple had planned on “getting old together” in a relationship that began when she was 13 and he was 14. She described how Smith was an adrenaline junkie who loved doing extreme sports and she was somewhat relieved when he decided to transfer some of those energies into firefighting along with his regular job as a bus driver. “He worked amazingly hard,” Springer told the judge, adding that Smith was working to launch the Eel River Technical Rescue Team at the time of his death. “He was an amazing person, the things he could do.” She urged Cribbs to give Goldberg the harshest sentence possible, saying she was not out for revenge but justice, and it was unfair that he could still see his children while her sons were left without a father just as they were entering manhood. “I pray that he is held accountable for

his actions,” Springer said. “I just want him to know how horribly he hurt my children.” Goldberg, who at times turned toward the speakers during the hearing, had been facing 40 years to life before Cribbs struck down a 25-year sentencing enhancement for using a firearm to commit the murder, which was within the judge’s discretion. Deputy District Attorney Luke Bernthal argued against the lesser sentence, saying “the case has always smacked me as almost an execution.” “The truth is we would not be in the position we are today if Mr. Goldberg had not made the decision to take a loaded gun to Mr. Smith’s house and shoot him five times,” he told the judge. Goldberg’s attorney Casey Russo gave his condolences to Smith’s family, turning to face them in the courtroom gallery and saying the “weight of your words is not lost on anyone.” He said all indications are that his client was “not in his right mind” the day he drove to Smith’s home and that Goldberg, in fact, had a history of “trying to defuse conflicts.” “That is a trip everyone wishes Mr. Goldberg had not taken,” Russo said. l Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor and a staff writer at the Journal.

Regulatory Home Stretch By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

t looks like Fortuna residents might be able to get weed delivered to their homes after all. The California Bureau of Cannabis Control, Department of Food and Agriculture and Department of Public Health released proposed updates to their cannabis regulations on Oct. 19, kicking off a 15-day public comment period that will be open through Nov. 5. The updates themselves come as a result of state regulators getting more than 6,000 comments on their last draft of state regulations. If permanently adopted, the proposed changes would have some sizeable impacts on everything from the way cannabis is packaged and delivered to how much information is publicly disclosed about those invested in cannabis businesses. Here’s a list of the more notable changes at a glance: Delivery: The new rules continue to maintain that cannabis can be delivered anywhere within the state, rebuffing the objections of state law enforcement agencies and a variety of cities and counties. This is notable, as just 25 percent of California’s cities and counties currently have ordinances allowing legal recreational cannabis sales, according to an analysis by the cannabis website Leafly. But the proposed regulations do tip their hats to the public safety concerns raised by law enforcement by reducing the amount of inventory a delivery vehicle can carry from $10,000 to $5,000. If this provision holds, it means residents of cities that have banned commercial cannabis activity — like Fortuna, for example — would be able to get marijuana products delivered to their doorsteps. The regulations would also outlaw “weed brokers,” or unlicensed third-party businesses that profit from acting as middle men and facilitating delivery transactions. Packaging: The new regulations would shift child-resistant packaging requirements from manufacturers to retailers until January of 2020. This spares manufacturers the added expense of child-resistant packaging but means retailers will have to once again use the zippered “exit bags” that were prevalent in the wake of Jan. 1. Events: Licensed cannabis events would no longer be confined to the state’s 80 county fairgrounds or district agricultural association properties. Humboldt County has been without a cannabis event this

year due to the prior regulations, which limited potential venues to the Humboldt County Fairgrounds and Redwood Acres, both of which can’t host the events for various reasons. But this new provision — if it becomes part of the final regulations — could open up the possibility of cannabis events in a wide variety of local venues. Transparency: The new regulations would require cannabis businesses to make public far more information about who they are profiting. More specifically, they would require businesses to disclose anyone who is in line to receive a share of their profits — whether through a landlord-tenant lease, an employee profit sharing plan or contracts with accountants, attorneys or other agents. Fees: In what will surely be welcome news for many Humboldt County cannabis businesses, the proposed regulations would also lower annual license fees for small operators. For example, retailers with annual revenues up to $750,000 would previously have seen a $4,000 fee for a 12-month license but the new proposal would carve out a $2,500 license fee for retailers with sales less than $500,000. The proposal — which comes as a response to industry concerns that high fees were encouraging some to stay in the black market — left the fee structure for larger operations unchanged. Advertising: The latest proposed regulations also have some changes for the way cannabis can be advertised. Most notably, retailers won’t be able to promote giveaways of anything — even non-cannabis products — in an effort to bring folks into their storefronts. Further, ads won’t be able to depict anyone under the age of 21, up from the current rules, which prohibit depictions of anyone under the age of 18. Finally, the new regulations outlaw cannabis billboards on highways within 15 miles of the California state line. The Bureau of Cannabis Control will be accepting comments on the proposed regulations — which can be found at www. bcc.ca.gov — until Nov. 5. The state’s final regulations must be sent to the Office of Administrative Law for review by Dec. 3. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Community Icon Muriel Dinsmore Dies

uriel Dinsmore, a tireless supporter of myriad community causes — from the arts to historic preservation to education — died Oct. 16.

She was 89. Born in Eureka just before the stock market crash of 1929, Dinsmore grew up in Rio Dell and was well known for the decade she spent as editor of the Times-Standard’s Accent on People section, interviewing everyone from First Lady Nancy Reagan to hitchhikers passing through the region. Dinsmore was a founding member of the Humboldt Arts Council, which runs the Morris Graves Museum of Art, and the Eureka Heritage Society, along with supporting a wealth of other organizations, including the League of Women Voters and the College of the Redwoods Foundation League. She also served as College of the Redwoods director of public relations for 15 years. As news of Dinsmore’s death spread on social media, dozens expressed sadness at her passing, remembering the mother of four as a “classy lady” with “boundless energy” and a “beautiful smile” who gave passionately to the community she loved. All those are fitting descriptions, according to her friend Sally Arnot, who like Dinsmore was at the forefront of transforming a nascent arts council into the

vibrant community institution it is today. Arnot says she’s always thought of Dinsmore as a “mentor of people,” ready to lend a helping hand whenever there was a need, “trying to come up with an answer and trying to connect you with people.” “Her passion was serving the community and Muriel had a phenomenal memory and grasp of people’s names and their history,” Arnot says, recalling how she seemed to know just about everyone in town. Dinsmore was a fixture at the Morris Graves Museum of Art in Eureka during its monthly Arts Alive! events, sitting at the front table to greet people as they arrived. The historic entrance of the museum, which she worked vigorously to raise money to restore, is named for her. Even after she moved to Petaluma to be closer to family after her husband George’s death, Dinsmore regularly returned to Eureka and continued to be active in the arts council’s work until very recently, says the museum’s executive director Jemima Harr. Dinsmore played an integral role in the mission of the museum for decades, always the first to volunteer, Harr says, adding that people continuously ask about her when they come to the museum during Arts Alive! “She was absolutely gracious,” Harr says. “Everyone just loved her, from little kids to grown adults, just everyone loved her.

A notorious Humboldt County bank robber and the detective who caught him. Twice.

nsohnard e e r eusDGave Orc d a y By Th Art b

t was shortly after noon on April 7, 2010 and Eureka’s Problem Oriented Policing team was staking out room 103 at the Comfort Inn, a mustard-colored hotel on South Broadway with rooms that go for about $80 a night. The officers had been part of a task force that spent the prior afternoon canvassing Eureka looking for a bank robbery suspect — Ezra Keith Williams, a brash 26-year-old who goes by “EZ” and stands a slim 5 feet, 9 inches tall with brown hair, green eyes and a nasty heroin habit. They knocked on doors, questioned Williams’ associates and leaned on their network of informants. Earlier that day at about 7 a.m., detective Ron Harpham thought he’d caught a break. It was a call from a confidential informant who reported that Williams — a known heroin user who was “always broke” — was flashing money and had holed up with his girlfriend in the Comfort Inn. Within about 30 minutes, Harpham had instructed the POP team to “sit on” the hotel to make sure nobody matching Williams’ description left the property while the detective put a search warrant application before a Humboldt County judge. The judge authorized the search shortly before 11 a.m. and Harpham went down to the Comfort Inn and got a key to room 103 from the manager. By 12:30 p.m., officers had staged outside the door and Harpham turned on his digital voice recorder before knocking loudly. Moments later, officers flooded in to find the room empty. On a small wooden desk against one of the room’s walls, detective Todd Wilcox noticed a note, written in all caps on a Comfort Inn notepad: “MISSED ME PIGS!! CATCH ME IF YA CAN!! EZ$.” Harpham couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’ve got 28 years in and I’ve never seen that,” Harpham says. “It was unique.” So what happened? Was Williams tipped or did he orchestrate the confidential informant’s early morning call in an elaborate effort to prank the police? “Who knows with Ezra,” Harpham says, seeming equally at peace with both possibilities. Either way, Harpham and EPD proved up for Williams’ challenge. Twice. Last month, Superior Court Judge Christopher Wilson sentenced the 34-year-old Williams to serve 51 years to life in state prison for a trio of armed robberies committed in late 2016 and early 2017, capping the story of Humboldt County’s self-proclaimed notorious outlaw, a man responsible for the armed “take-over” robberies of three banks and two other businesses.

through hundreds of pages of court records and police reports reviewed by the Journal, as well as a host of interviews, Williams’ is the story of a boy who grew up largely on his own in the Mattole Valley while his father did a prison bid for burglary. It’s a story about the heroin epidemic strangling Humboldt County and a dopesick young man needing $150 to maintain his addiction. And it’s a story about a series of capers and the detective who doggedly worked the case until he got his man.

Harpham was in EPD’s Criminal Investigations Division shortly after 9:30 a.m. on March 25, 2010 — two days after Williams’ 26th birthday — when a call came over the police scanner: The Radio Shack on Myrtle Avenue had just been robbed at gunpoint. Harpham’s father Murl Harpham policed Eureka for 56 years before retiring in 2014, filling in as chief on four separate occasions, including one in which he infamously — and prophetically, in the eyes of some — said drugs were turning the community into a “hellhole.” One might say Ron Harpham grew up at EPD. Now with the better part of three decades on the force, Ron Harpham has a reputation as a no-nonsense, hard-nosed detective. More than one local police officer has mused that if they were ever to wind up chalked off at a homicide scene, they hoped Harpham would catch the case. About 15 minutes after the robbery call came in, Harpham arrived at Radio Shack and learned that two clerks had been in the store when a white male, appearing to be in his mid 20s, wearing jeans, a hooded camouflage rain jacket, a baseball hat and a blue bandana pulled over his face came in with a chrome handgun. He handed a brown paper bag to the clerk and told him to empty the register into it. The clerk put $481 into the bag and handed it back to the robber, who took the money and left. Another witness said she was returning to work at the neighboring Dollar Tree from a break that morning when she saw a young white male adult, a bit on the shorter side, take off a camouflage jacket and a baseball hat before getting into a silver early-2000s model Ford Mustang. The guy seemed to be in a hurry, which made him stand out, she told Harpham. The clerks said the suspect hadn’t been wearing gloves, so the detective inspected the place for potential finger and palm prints. He found some partials and ended up collecting four prints and swabbing the door for potential DNA evidence. Later that week he sent the DNA swab off to the Department of Justice’s crime lab for

testing, asking analysts to compare the results against the FBI database. He admitted he didn’t “have any leads” in the case. About a week later, on the afternoon of April 6, the Bank of America in Henderson Center got hit. Witnesses Harpham interviewed were consistent on the basics: At about 2 p.m., a white male adult in baggy clothing entered the bank with his face covered, either by the collar of his t-shirt or some kind of ascot or scarf.

a uniform store next door reported that she saw a young man in baggy clothing loitering outside the bank suspiciously just before the robbery. Harpham showed her a still image of the suspect pulled from an ATM surveillance camera. “No,” the woman said, it wasn’t the guy she’d seen. Back at EPD headquarters that afternoon, Harpham started reviewing surveillance still photos the bank had sent over. Officer Joshua Siipola walked by and

Gun in hand, he ordered customers to the ground and told the clerks to empty their registers. He appeared nervous, taking almost $6,000 from the first clerk but fleeing before gathering cash from the other two, who were waiting with bills in hand. When it came to describing the suspect, all agreed he was on the shorter side — maybe 5 foot 6 or 5 foot 7 — but they described the color of his eyes, hair and clothes differently. Some said his gun was gray, others black. An employee of

looked at Harpham’s computer. “That looks like Ezra Williams,” Siipola said, sending Harpham scrambling to pull Williams’ old case files. He didn’t have to stretch far. Williams had been arrested a few weeks earlier, on March 17, 2010. An officer on patrol had seen him driving a red 1995 Ford Mustang with a blue bandana hanging from the rear-view mirror, which constituted a vehicle code infraction. Officer Justin Braud pulled the Mustang over and later reported that Williams and his passenger

Lee Adams acted twitchy and nervous, and Williams didn’t have registration or proof of insurance paperwork. When Braud ordered them out of the car, a hollowed out ball point pen with heroin residue on it fell from the passenger door as Adams got out of the vehicle. In his report, Braud explained that he suspected the pen had been used like a straw to inhale heroin smoke, a method of ingestion known as “chasing the dragon.” In a subsequent search of the car, Braud found 12.5 grams of heroin, mostly bundled in .2 gram increments, as well as four hypodermic syringes and a soup spoon with burn marks and heroin residue on it. Braud then questioned Williams. “Everything in the car was mine,” Williams said, later explaining he had been a heroin addict on and off for the past six years. He told the officer he’d paid $600 for the heroin in the car but denied it was intended for sale. As a part of the investigation, Braud seized Williams’ cell phone — a flip-top LG cell phone on an AT&T plan. When Braud searched it, he found text messages — like, “Hey bro I need 80 and I got work in like 45 minutes and I got wheels, can you help me out?” — that he believed were evidence of organizing drug sales. That afternoon, the phone rang and Braud answered it: “A male voice said, ‘Hey EZ, it’s Israel, can I get another gram?’” Braud played along for a bit then told Israel he was talking to the police. “The subject accused me of lying, but then hung up when I insisted it wasn’t a joke,” Braud wrote in his report. The case file came with Williams’ jail booking photograph, which Harpham used to put together photo lineups. A team of detectives went back to Bank of America to see if their three witnesses to the bank robbery could identify Williams. They all did. Harpham had his suspect. Now he just had to find him.

Williams was born March 23, 1984, in Concord, California, the youngest of four children and only son born to Eugene Ward Williams and Jutta Mann. While Williams was still an infant, his dad was sentenced to serve 16 years in state prison for multiple first degree burglary charges, according to a probation report, leaving Williams to be primarily raised by his mother. The family lived in the Bay Area until moving to the Mattole Valley in Southern Humboldt when Williams was 7 or 8. Gail Dube, a longtime teacher in Southern Humboldt whose daughter also grew up around Williams, says he was a Continued on page 21 »

smart kid who seemed adept at getting along with other children. “They liked him,” she says. “But he didn’t have the structure and discipline to be able to develop his skills, even though his older sisters — and one in particular — really tried to provide guidance for him.” Some told the Journal Williams appeared to live largely alone in a trailer as a child, and Dube indicated she’d heard similar stories. “He had a hard life and had to take care of himself since he was quite young, and, in the end, it’s sad because he had a lot of potential,” she says. Williams started smoking marijuana when he was 8, drinking at 10 and did “a lot of psychedelics” as a teenager. He tried cocaine at the age of 16 and started “heavy use” of methamphetamines at 19. He told his probation officer he first smoked heroin when he was 18 and started injecting the stuff a few years later, eventually doing as much as 3 grams a day. Williams said he got into trouble for growing and selling marijuana while in high school, which ultimately led him to drop out in the 11th grade. According to a probation report, Williams acknowledged that drugs “ruined his life.” He went into a residential rehab program when he was 18 but only stayed about two weeks before leaving the program “to get high.” “He said he has thought about obtaining drug treatment many times throughout his life but always said he would ‘do it tomorrow,’” states the probation report. In November of 2006, Williams’ girlfriend gave birth to their son and Williams moved to Sacramento to be with his new family. He stayed for a few years and stayed clean, “but when he returned to Humboldt County, he quickly relapsed,” according to a probation report. Williams has a number of arrests on his record — cannabis possession when

he was 20, petty theft the following year, petty theft with a prior seven months later — but most seem to be indicative of someone struggling with addiction, not things that would foreshadow a quick escalation in criminal conduct. It’s hard to pinpoint what may have spurred Williams to pick up a gun and start robbing businesses. It’s possible he was simply desperate after his March 17, 2010 arrest on possession with intent charges left him broke — without $600 worth of heroin and the $120 he’d had in his pocket at the time — and in need of a way to feed his addiction before he became dope sick, and was suffering the crippling symptoms of withdrawl. It’s also possible something else was at play, as Williams was reportedly distraught over news that his good childhood friend, David Sequoia, had been shot dead by Eureka police on March 18, 2010. When police searched Williams’ Mustang while building an armed robbery case against him, they found a suitcase in the trunk. Tucked neatly inside were two editions of the Times-Standard. One had a front page story about the Radio Shack robbery, the other a story about Sequoia’s death. The papers were dated just a week apart.

In the days after Williams slipped through officers’ grasp at the Comfort Inn, Harpham continued working the case. Someone, meanwhile, continued sticking up local businesses. A pair of gas stations on Broadway, Madsen Realty and even the Minor Theater in Arcata were all robbed at gunpoint in the two weeks after Williams held up Radio Shack. At about 2 a.m. on April 8, 2010, a young unmasked white male entered Sal’s Off Broadway and tied up a

female employee at gunpoint in front of witnesses before making off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Witnesses identified the perpetrator as Williams. When the Safeway store on Harris was robbed four days later, police again identified Williams as the perpetrator, making it a total of seven armed robberies he was suspected of committing in a span of about 14 days. Eureka police and the sheriff’s office issued press releases with Williams’ picture and the Times-Standard ran front page stories documenting the search, even noting that then private citizen and current First District Humboldt County Supervisor Rex Bohn pledged a $1,000 reward for information leading to Williams’ arrest. In the public eye, Williams was living up to the word tattooed across the right side of his neck: “outlaw.” The investigation took a turn April 13 when EPD arrested Williams’ good friend Jamie Jeffrey on a possession charge. Harpham had been trying to use two known cell phone numbers of Williams’ to track his movements but was having little luck. When Jeffrey was arrested, the detective pored through his phone and saw one number with a 415 area code repeatedly. At 4:40 p.m. on the day of Jeffrey’s arrest, Harpham called the number. A man answered and identified himself as “EZ” but quickly hung up when Harpham said he was a Eureka police detective looking to get in touch with Williams. Harpham then reached out to the U.S. Marshall’s Office asking it to pull subscriber information for the number. He learned the phone had been purchased at about 2 p.m. on April 8 in Ukiah and was able to track its movements from there to Richmond, to Sacramento, then Vallejo. It was in Santa Rosa when Harpham called. Then it shut off. The phone turned on again briefly at around 10 a.m. the following morning at Continued on next page »

the U.S.-Mexico border in Chula Vista. On April 16, 2010, at about 2 p.m., Harpham called the number again. Williams answered. Harpham recorded the call and, as Williams disputed his involvement in robberies of the gas stations, Sal’s Off Broadway and Safeway, Harpham heard people speaking Spanish in the background. “I will be honest with you,” Williams told the detective, “I may have been involved in one or two, as I’m sure you know. It is ludicrous to say I was the man behind all seven of them. … I am not going to admit guilt but I may have done one, maybe two. It was because I was strung out on heroin. I needed money. You know that stuff completely screws you up in the head. I realize I really did fuck up this time and I probably won’t get away from doing some time.” Harpham kept the conversation going, saying he noticed a different “method of operation” between the robberies of Radio Shack and Bank of America compared to Sal’s Off Broadway and a home invasion in Loleta. “You weren’t punching people, pushing people, tying them up and doing berserker shit, right? That wasn’t your style,” the detective offered. “No. Exactly,” Williams responded. Harpham said he noticed while watching surveillance footage that, once everyone was cooperative, Williams didn’t even aim his gun at anyone and instead kept it pointing toward the ground. “Yeah,” Williams answered. “My thing is I do not get off on hurting people. I’ve never done any shit like that before.” Before they got off the call, Harpham asked Williams if he “had a problem” with being named as the suspect in the robberies of Radio Shack and Bank of America. “No,” Williams said. “I can see me as the suspect on those. Yeah, those two. Any more I would have a problem with.” About a week later, on April 21, 2010, Williams was arrested at the border trying to enter the United States in a 1967 Volkswagen he’d purchased for $2,500. (Williams would later tell his father and girlfriend that he’d bought the car for a job he’d gotten in Tijuana and was entering the United States as a “task related to his employment” not realizing border patrol would check him for warrants in the system. He said he’d planned to live in Mexico for 10 to 15 years until things blew over.)

take the conversation” to a place where Williams was going to lie to him, that he “either needed to talk to me about the details of the robbery or not at all.” Williams requested a lawyer. About six months later, Williams would plead guilty to both robberies — both strikes under California’s three strikes law — in a deal that sent him to prison for seven years and three months. Harpham says he was consulted on the disposition. “I remember saying, ‘I don’t care how much jail or prison time he gets — I want strikes,” Harpham says, adding that he knew Williams would ultimately be released from custody and, when that happened, the detective wanted to make sure Williams knew he was out of second chances.

On April 28, a day after he was transported to the Humboldt County jail, Williams was taken to the Eureka Police Department for an interview. Harpham arranged for Williams to have an in-person visit with his father, girlfriend and 3-yearold son first, realizing it would likely be their last chance to be in a room together for some years. Harpham advised Williams the visit would be recorded. Harpham sat in a viewing room and watched as Williams’ girlfriend and father urged him to ask for a lawyer and refuse to answer anything when it came time to be questioned. He disregarded their advice and talked to Harpham. The detective started by discussing Williams’ alibis for the robberies that occurred after Bank of America, and Williams detailed how he’d left town and flitted around the Bay Area and Sacramento until getting Harpham’s call, which “spooked” him and spurred him to jump a Greyhound to San Ysidro, buying a ticket under the name “Eddie Vasquez.” Harpham then asked about Bank of America. “Well, I heard you got pictures of me out front the day the robbery happened because I was in Henderson Center that day,” Williams said. “There’s more,” Harpham pressed. “There is?” Williams asked, playing dumb. Harpham then urged Williams “not to

In late September of 2016, Williams was released from state prison and it appears that one of the first things he did was visit his 10-year-old son, who was living with his mother in the Bay Area. Pictures posted to social media show the boy beaming and one commenter notes she’s never seen him look so happy. But according to his probation report, Williams had already committed a crucial error. As he was being released from state custody, he’d met with a parole agent who talked to him about post-release alcohol and other drug services. “No, I’m good,” Williams replied. When he set up a Facebook account a month later he listed his occupation as “Hustlin.” Months later, when Harpham pulled Williams’ phone records, he’d find that as soon as Williams activated his phone in early November of 2016, the bulk of his messages had to do with “buying and selling drugs, being dope sick and desperate, and owing people money.” “After more than six years in prison, he goes dirty right away,” Harpham says. On Dec. 23, 2016, Harpham caught an unusual robbery case. Two men had taken over Umpqua Bank. They stormed in brandishing black handguns and ordered everyone to the ground, instructing the tellers to empty their registers. The more typical bank robbery in Humboldt County is a covert affair — with someone approaching a single teller and passing a threatening note. Most don’t know the establishment has been robbed until it’s over. “Take-over” robberies, on the other hand, are rare. In

fact, the detective said he didn’t think he’d seen one since Williams hurriedly robbed the Bank of America almost seven years earlier. In this case, the two suspects wore masks and gloves and worked in concert, yelling, “This is a robbery. No ink, no marked bills, no buttons and no silent alarms.” They made sure they got cash from multiple tellers — totaling more than $11,000 — before fleeing eastbound through the parking lot. On Jan. 12, the Subway on Myrtle Avenue was hit and the robbery followed a similar pattern. Two masked men barged in. One covered the employees as the other emptied the register before forcing an employee at gunpoint to open a change safe in the back. The case caught a lucky break when an employee of Big 5 Sporting Goods commented on a social media post about the Subway robbery, saying he’d sold “two sketchy looking” guys a realistic looking Colt Defender BB gun about 30 minutes before the robbery. Deputies pulled the surveillance video of the sale from the sports store and shared it with Harpham. “I saw the video and went, ‘That’s Ezra,’” Harpham recalls, adding that it didn’t take long to then identify the other man as Rocky Keene, one of Williams’ good friends. About a week later, Williams and Keene struck again, this time holding up Tri-Counties Bank on F Street in Eureka shortly after 4 p.m. on Jan. 20, 2017. The robbery followed the same pattern, with Williams holding everyone at gunpoint as Keene had tellers empty $5,400 into a plastic bag. As Harpham was building a case, analyzing surveillance video and trying to gather enough probable cause for search warrants, the investigation took an unexpected turn Feb. 1, 2017, when officer Ben Omey contacted Williams while he was waiting in his car by Jefferson Community Center. Williams was on parole, so Omey decided to search him and his vehicle. Omey called Harpham down to the scene. “I wasn’t ready (to get a warrant) but I was getting close,” Harpham says. “We’d started putting surveillance on his trailer where he was staying down by Bear River.” When the detective arrived on scene, Omey told him he’d found a small gun safe in the back of Williams’ car. “(Williams) told me there was only checks in there but when I shook it, it went thunk-thunk-thunk,” Harpham recalls. The officers broke into the safe. Inside, they found a Colt Defender model BB gun, the same kind sold at Big 5. Harpham knew he had his man and he told Williams as much.

“He was denying it all the way, saying, ‘Why are you doing this to me, Harpham? You’re a piece of shit, Harpham,” the detective recalls. “I had him twice. I don’t think he likes me too well.” Harpham says he told Williams he could match the BB gun to the one used at Tri-County Bank, and that he had video footage that would connect Williams and Keene to the robberies of Subway and Umpqua, too. He looked at Williams and told him that even the plaid shirt he was wearing right then also matched the shirt one of the perpetrators was wearing in the Umpqua bank robbery. “I’m going to book you on them, Ezra” Harpham remembers saying, adding that he was unprepared for what happened next. “He’s standing there looking at me and I’m looking at him. Then he just closed his eyes and rolled forward and fell into the door and onto the ground and faked a seizure.”

“He just closed his eyes and rolled forward ... and faked a seizure.” Harpham says he knows a real seizure when he sees one and this wasn’t it, but nonetheless officers took Williams to a hospital where a doctor confirmed he had not, in fact, had a seizure. From the hospital, officers took Williams to jail. On the way, he defecated in his pants and smeared feces all over that plaid shirt. Asked if that was a symptom of heroin withdrawal, Harpham says no. “He did that to make me have to deal with this foul piece of evidence,” the detective says. “He was not happy about getting arrested because he knew he was a two-striker and that if I had the goods on him, he’d be doing a lot more time than he did last time.” In April, after deliberating for just 45 minutes, a jury decided Harpham did have the goods, convicting Williams of three counts of armed robbery. Five months later, Judge Wilson handed down the sentence of 51 years to life in prison, musing that it is perhaps an “indictment of our prison system” that Williams fell almost immediately into old habits after being released from an almost seven-year incarceration.

Toward the end of last month, Williams’ ex-girlfriend posted what appeared to be one of those anniversary reminders Facebook offers its users. This one was reminding her that it had been two years since she posted those photos of Williams, freshly released from prison, looking bright eyed and healthy, with his beaming son. “This just makes me so sad, enough said,” she wrote, adding a teardrop emoji. Unsurprisingly, Harpham takes a far less emotional and sentimental view of Williams’ cases. The only thing really unique about them, he says, is that the same detective “had him twice.” But this is how the system is supposed to work, he says. Police can’t proactively deter every crime, he says, so when one is committed, it’s incumbent upon detectives to build the strongest cases possible to put people away for as long as possible to provide a deterrent to everyone else. In a 14-month span stretching from 2016 into 2017, Eureka saw more than 30 armed business robberies. EPD solved close to 90 percent of them, he said, and things have been pretty quiet since. Williams’ case is a part of that, he says: “Now, people can say, you saw what happened to Ezra.” Harpham said detective work isn’t like it used to be. Now with everyone connected to cell phones, social media accounts and whatever else, detectives can pinpoint suspects’ movements and track their communications. Then, once they’re in custody, you can monitor their phone calls and read their letters. “You end up knowing a guy pretty well,” Harpham says. So what happened to Ezra Williams? Why the sudden shift from petty thefts to armed robberies? “The popular trend is to blame everything people do on heroin addiction or to minimize what people do because they’re addicts,” Harpham says. “The thing is, there are a ton of addicts out there and they’re not robbing banks.” The detective recalls interviewing Williams after his second arrest and asking him, why didn’t he just start growing cannabis or something? Williams looked at him expressionless. “I’m not a farmer,” he said. To Harpham, the implication was clear. “Ezra’s a bank robber,” he says. “It’s his M.O. When Ezra gets tight, he robs. That’s clear. It’s not guesswork. That’s what he does. And I don’t have to tell him, you shouldn’t rob banks.” l

ope nets and glass floats and wooden buoys drift among the overhead shelving, and a trio of wire fish twist on fishing line strung from the ceiling of the crowded shop. A faded toy crab hunkers on a vintage scale beside a shelf stacked with powder blue T-shirts that read, “Fish Happens.” On the back wall, a stuffed sailfish with grand blue fin and a bent needle of a bill overlooks the steel sinks. In the glass case are a dozen plates and bowls of steamer clams, ling cod, king salmon, picked Dungeness crab, petrale sole and brick red hunks of salmon he smokes in a 4-by-8-foot smokehouse out back. To walk into Mr. Fish Seafood is to step back in time to a pre-foodie era when there were only two kinds of salt and nobody worried what a fish case looked like on Instagram. You’d be hard pressed to find somebody who remembers a time when the squat, shingled Mr. Fish Seafood shop wasn’t a fixture on Eureka’s Broadway. Well, aside from Mark McCulloch, who bought the business from his friend Les Amundsen 47 years ago. Now McCulloch is ready to retire. A handwritten note taped to the glass of the refrigerated case informs customers the shop will be closed indefinitely starting Oct. 26. “It’s been in my mind the last few years,” says McCulloch, dressed in a worn white butcher’s smock. He adds that his wife, Mary Ann, who’s already enjoying retirement, “has been bugging me to retire. … To give you an idea, she’s on her way back from Paris right now.” An upcoming shoulder surgery has pushed McCulloch to finally set a date for turning over the “closed” sign. About a year ago, while hauling a pair of 20-pound bags of oysters from his truck, one

slipped, injuring his shoulder. The damage has worsened since then and he says his doctor urged him to schedule the surgery as soon as possible, which will be a few days after the last filet goes out the door. McCulloch says he was on his way to selling the outfit this summer but the deal fell through. Now it’s back on the market — the business and the equipment — for $75,000. He says there have been a few nibbles but nobody on the hook yet. McCulloch’s first foray into seafood sales was even more pared down. “I’d been selling crab out of the back of my truck in Hoopa and Willow Creek,” he says, standing by the scale atop the refrigerated case. That was back in 1970 or so, shortly after he’d moved up from Covelo, California, to attend the College of the Redwoods. Amundsen, for whom he was selling, only had the business about five months when McCulloch says he bought it and took on the mantle of Mr. Fish. “You know, the nice thing about these lobsters is if you don’t sell ’em, you get to eat ’em yourself,” McCulloch says over the counter to a customer who usually comes in to buy for a local restaurant. “You want those gift wrapped?” he teases. The uncle jokes are as much a staple as the fish, though McCulloch concedes not everyone on Yelp gets his jokes. Another customer rattles off his order, including six oysters. “Was that six or six dozen?” McCulloch deadpans. A woman who’s been waiting at the back of the shop comes up for her turn and confesses she’s never come in before

despite driving past all the time. She picks out a couple of filets and adds a tip onto her bill. “At least I’ve been here once,” she says. Competition from Costco has “made a difference,” admits McCulloch. “It’s hard to compete with but I don’t sell the kinds of stuff they do.” Most of what Mr. Fish carries is local and, on top of the fresh fish, there’s a list of frozen items to choose from. The majority of his customers, he notes, ask the same thing when they come in: What’s fresh and what’s local? At Christmastime, he says there are still lines out his door and he moves 500 to 1,000 pounds of boiled crab in a day. “It’s convenient for people to pick fish [at Costco] but nobody harasses their customers there. It’s a fringe benefit.” Business, he insists, is still good. “I’ve taken a downturn,” he says, tipping his head to his shoulder. While he’s been elbow-deep in seafood for nearly half a century, McCulloch is no fisherman. “Me and the ocean don’t get along that well,” he says, adding that he’s been on the water a few times and found he gets seasick. He didn’t even like fish as a kid growing up in Napa, though now he brings home whatever looks good at the shop and has it a couple of times a week. He shrugs. “Things change.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or jennifer@ northcoastjournal.com.

Adding cannabis and dahlias to your garden By Katie Rose McGourty

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com s the evenings become crisper and the days become shorter, here on the home farm we celebrate the end of another successful growing season. We’re pulling pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and picking our apples. This year marked an important milestone in home farming: The much awaited cannabis prohibition has at long last come to an end. Californians now have the right to grow their very own special green flower patch right at home. Like growing vegetables or cut flowers, homegrown cannabis costs a fraction of commercial prices. It’s never wrapped in plastic packaging or hauled in a truck and the freshness and intensity in flavor cannot be beat. We focused on the CBD-heavy strain Suzy Q but there are countless options to choose from. Cannabis offered a lovely addition to our backyard corn and pumpkin patch. Tucked away behind the wispy corn tassels, our little outdoor plants grew taller and bushier over the growing season. We were total novices with this one, since it only recently became commercially available. However, we decided the investment in this particular medicinal herb was well worth the price (around $10 per clone) and were pleasantly surprised with the level of

harvest. We weren’t sure if growing these plants without a greenhouse in the coastal fog zone would still yield a decent harvest. Turns out we had nothing to worry about — they produced just fine. We plan on making them a permanent fixture in the home farm medicinal garden. We use it for pain relief and insomnia mostly, though we find it also works for boosting creativity. Now that the dark cloak has been lifted off the humble cannabis plant, we hope that many who suffer from a range of physical and emotional pains can heal with homegrown bounty. For those of you interested in starting your own green flower patch in 2019, there’s plenty of time to plan. Follow these few simple steps to your own personal Emerald Triangle. 1. Select the sunniest spot in the yard with the most protection from the wind. 2. Prepare the ground. Winter is an ideal time to accomplish this task. Cover up with thick cardboard, top with a 3-inch layer of organic mulch. Let it rest for one to three months, until spring planting season. 3. Research what to grow and where to buy it. There’s no shortage of inter-

esting options out there. We bought direct from the nursery in Kneeland. If you’re up for the adventure, find a cannabis farm that sells clones. It’s worth the drive to visit a thriving cannabis farm for inspiration. A farmer can handpick the best plants available and give plenty of growing tips. As soon as earth can be worked in the spring (when it’s not too wet), dig a 3-foot-diameter hole approximately 12 inches deep per plant in mulch/cardboard area. Cardboard softens in the rain and a sharp shovel should cut right through it. Remove the large pieces of cardboard, then dig mulch into the earth. Supplement your soil with compost. Plant individual cannabis plants at the center of each circle, ideally during a full moon. Of any day of the month, the full moon has the most light available to plants and therefore maximum photosynthetic potential to allow for optimal plant establishment. Make sure to mark individual varieties with a weather-proof tag (we like to write with Sharpie on large wooden planting sticks). Cover the bare earth with cardboard and mulch to prevent weeds from growing around the base of the plant. Water daily with fish emulsion (2 teaspoons per gallon, available at garden supply stores) until the plant is established. Once the plant has green, vibrant growth, water as needed every one to three days. Mix compost into the soil approximately once a month. Let the flowers develop until just before the first autumn rain. Cut the plant at the base and store it in a dark, dry

In addition to harvesting our medicinal herbs, we’re also planning for next year’s cut flower garden. It’s almost time to dig up and store dahlia bulbs (after a couple of killing frosts, they should be dormant). We’re looking forward to harvesting a crop of tubers that will expand next year’s dahlia patch. The bulbs are best stored with dirt covering them so they don’t dry out — don’t forget to label them. Variety is the spice of life and we like to design our dahlia patch with color in mind. We’re also gathering our flower seeds and carefully tucking them away. This task seems tedious and time consuming at first. However, giving in to the process of making a mess and creating tiny jars filled with future gardens is too fun to put off. We’re also tucking away this year’s dried flower blossoms (calendula, rose petals and lavender). Farming can be hard work and we like to create personal care products using home farm ingredients to pamper ourselves. In order to give our flowers the best of everything, we’re continuing to develop our rainwater catchment system. We place galvanized steel trashcans at the base of rainspouts to gather rainfall off the roof. Once the barrels are full, we pop the lids on to keep our carefully collected water clean. Bonus: Raindrops on the lids sound like our own private percussion band. In the spring we’ll water our delicate seedlings by hand from a metal watering can to avoid plastic tubing and accessories. As we scale up our operation, we plan on minimizing plastics as much as possible. We want to preserve our beautiful ocean and rivers. Plastic poses a great threat to those incredible ecosystems. Once that plastic is out there, it’s hard to get it back. Like diamonds, plastic is forever. Moving toward the darker time of the year, we’re stacking up the firewood and looking forward to many happy hours of home farm planning for next year’s growing season. Pull up a seed catalogue and let the dreams begin. l Katie Rose McGourty is the owner of Healthy Living Everyday at www.healthy-living-everyday.com.

Halloween Haunts By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom plays the Arcata Playhouse at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26.

t’s the last week of October and you know what that means, fellow Halloweenies. So I am going to keep this intro brief and instead stuff the page with a week of goodies for your social calendar. Get out, have fun and be evil within reason — reason being a rare thing in the spooky age we live in. Have a fine week.

Thursday

Teach Me Equals are a duo from Olympia, Washington, that plays beat-laden dream-pop with an electric cello handling a fair part of the melody. They rolled through town last November for a hot set with The Myrrors at The Miniplex and tonight will be gracing the stage at The Jam at 9 p.m. (price TBA). Joining in the fun is ex-Cloud Nothings guitarist Joey Sprinkles, playing what I assume will be a raucous run of indie-flavored pop songs, as well as Arcata-by-way-of-Santa Cruz power trio The Apollo Era.

Friday Allison Miller is one of the best working drummers in the biz today. As well as being a popular hired gun for touring jazz and folk acts, she is an extremely deft composer in one of my favorite branches of the modern jazz experience: namely, accomplished musicians who are genuinely fun to listen to. Her sextet Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom heads to the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 8 p.m. in support of its latest release Glitter Wolf. The $15 door price — $10 if you are a student or senior — seems like a steal to me. An hour later over at the Logger Bar, you can enjoy a proper bluegrass menagerie as members of the No Good Redwood Ramblers spilt up and square off into two separate acts for an evening of twangy, sharp pickin’. MicroGrass and The Kentucky Warblers each play a free one for the sheer love of the sport.

Saturday For those of you living in the five-day matrix of the working week tonight is,

30 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

for practical purposes, basically Halloween. It’s the Saturday before this year’s mid-week iteration of the holiday and, since nobody really wants to go to work with the scraps of last night’s debauchery hanging over the next day, tonight is the night for costumed fun. So in deference to that idea and out of respect for the fidelity of everyone’s pocketbooks, I will suggest some cheap, gussied-up goings on. On Eighth and N streets in Arcata, The Dead Drops will be playing free spooky tunes to the crowds headed into the Kinetic Lab of Horrors starting at 7 p.m. Meanwhile in Redway, the people at The Mateel are teaming up with KMUD to put on the annual Halloween Boogie at 9 p.m. ($30, $25 advance). Jamaican reggae artists Anthony B and Warrior King preside over a costume contest and groove-a-thon with local folk artist Lacey Redhead B and various KMUD DJs. At the same hour at Humbrews is another edition of Soul Party. Tonight’s theme is “The Freaks Come Out At Night” and, much like the gig at the Mateel, it features a costume contest amidst all the boogieing. Like its predecessors, this Soul Party is only $5 for a night of vinyl-enabled dancing. Finally, at 11 p.m. at the Alibi is another reoccurring DJ-curated dance party, the punk, post-punk, goth and new wave-informed Radio Clash. Join tune-maestros Zero One and Vulvadon — Vulvadon? Really? OK. For the low, low cost of $1. Free tip: Get some Sacagawea or Susan B. Anthony dollars and you can pay for these events in character as a doubloon-wielding pirate or coin-flicking denizen of Westeros or Middle Earth.

Sunday There’s a neo-surf rock show going on at the Miniplex tonight at 9 p.m. La Luz is a Los Angeles band that peddles bubbly, washed-out fluorescent melodies carried aloft by an undeniable dance beat and layered vocal harmonies. Touring on its third album Floating Features for the Hardly Art label, La Luz is joined by Kansas City’s similarly influenced group Shy Boys. ($15).

Monday Blondies presents a mellow show as New York City’s van-living indie-folk act Fort Vine visits the club at 7:30 p.m. Touring on the back of its second album, Stay Magical, this duo is certain to keep things chill (price TBA).

Tuesday

California Kind is a jam band comprised of various side players from the noodle-rock world and fronted by singer/songwriter Katie Skene. If you are a fan of Dark Star Orchestra and other Dead-adjacent groups then roll over to Humbrews tonight at 8 p.m. for a bit of note-saturated fun ($20).

Wednesday, Halloween! It’s the big spooky night so here’s some midweek fun for all of you ghouls. RampArt skatepark has an all-ages punk rock covers show going down at 8 p.m. Members of The Buffy Swayze and The Tweeners team up to play songs of The Cramps while Side Iron magically transforms into The Misfits. The Flying Hellfish — a delightful reference from the golden age of The Simpsons — opens the evenings with various covers. Just $5 gets you in the door, there is a bar for those with a valid ID and yes, of course, there is a costume contest. Speaking of costume contests, Absynth Quartet is presiding over one during its Halloween Bash at Humbrews. Lovebush is in on the fun and the kick-off time is 9 p.m. ($15). ● Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. Collin Yeo would like to remind you that if you don’t vote in the coming election then the ghosts of all of those who died securing your right to do so, as well as those who have had their vote cruelly stolen away, will haunt your remaining life. He lives in Arcata.

Hey sexy/sinister cats and Cthulhus, if you’re looking for the lowdown on where to get down this Halloween, here are a few terror-ific roof and hair-raising events to consider. Ghoulio, get the stretch! On Saturday, Oct. 27, go bump in the night at the Mateel Community Center’s annual Halloween Boogie from 8 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. ($30, $25 advance). Groove to the reggae stylings of Anthony B, Warrior King and Lacy Redhead. Come dressed to kill for the costume contest. When is a haunted house more than a haunted house? When it’s a multi-level haunted house, boo. The Ultimate Fright Fest! is on Oct. 26-28 and Oct. 31 from 4 p.m. to midnight at Forever Found, when the historic Loheide building is transformed into a spine-tingling scare house ($6 for all ages until 7 p.m., $10 for 13 and up from 7 p.m. until midnight).

Halloween and The Sisters Brothers By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Previews

HALLOWEEN. John Carpenter remains one of the largely unsung heroes of 20th century American popular cinema, whose work is more influential than widely discussed and almost a genre unto itself. Starting with Dark Star (1976), Carpenter has been steadily building a catalog of hugely entertaining, weirdly stylish homages to/ syntheses of classic monster movies, space adventures and horror, creating something new by nodding to his influences. Perhaps because he has so often worked within genres (people say it like it’s a dirty word), he is not generally mentioned among the anointed Serious Filmmakers of his era. History may correct that error. But at least one subsequent generation of movie-heads, having grown up on his work, is now processing his influence with their own work. Director David Gordon Green and his frequent collaborators/co-writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley are decidedly of that generation, the right age to have probably watched Carpenter’s original Halloween (1978), revelled in the gritty charms of Escape from New York (1981) and the gorgeous, snow-bound gore of The Thing (1982), enjoyed the hilarious high adventure of Big Trouble in Little China (1986) and had their minds blown by the lively, bizarre, now-chillingly prescient vision of They Live (1988), all while head-nodding to the master’s unfailingly hypnotic self-composed/performed/ recorded synth scores. That’s all conjecture, of course, but their respect/reverence for the man’s work is plain in their contribution (the eleventh!) to the Halloween franchise, from opening credits that mimic the original to their commissioning of Carpenter (along with his son Cody and Daniel A. Davies) to record an original score.

Michael Myers has been ... standing around in a psychiatric institution for 40 years, I guess, following the events of the original movie. Dr. Sartain (Haluk Bilginer), a protege of the late Dr. Loomis (played, over the years, by Donald Pleasance and Malcolm McDowell), has developed a perhaps inappropriate devotion to Michael, working for decades with dozens of forensic psychiatrists to understand the mind of the predator. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), survivor of that fateful night, has been spending the last 40 years preparing herself for Michael’s return but in self-imposed exile. Her trauma remains untreated, her psyche badly, maybe permanently wounded. Semi-estranged from her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak), she is approached by a pair of investigative journalists producing a podcast about the events of Halloween, 1978, on the eve of Michael’s transfer to another facility, where he is expected to live out his final years. She chides them for their ignorance and sends them away. Shortly thereafter, Michael escapes on Halloween and mayhem ensues. This version succeeds on so many subtle levels that it’s impossible to list them all here but for a few: It stays true to the tone of the original, while escalating the carnage in scary, inventive ways; it examines the dynamic between Laurie and Michael, survivor and attacker, with more depth and nuance than in previous iterations; perhaps most engagingly, it introduces psychological realism and elements of 21st century feminism into a straight-up horror movie with subtlety and significance. To my eye, it’s Green’s best work in years: a deceptively intricate take on genre that transcends classification with style and intelligence. R. 106M. BROADWAY,

THE SISTERS BROTHERS. Back when I became aware of John C. Reilly through his work with Paul Thomas Anderson — Hard Eight (1996), Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999) — it was hard to imagine him as a comic actor. Not that he didn’t have the chops but in that period he was so frequently raw and open, so emotionally authentic that broad comedy seemed a million miles away. But then he hooked up with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay — Talladega Nights (2006), Step Brothers (2008) — and remade himself as a comedian to a huge swath of the viewership. His turn in Kong: Skull Island (2017) started to bridge the divide between comedy and drama but with the Sisters Brothers, he does maybe the best work of his formidable career, returning to the subtle, heartbreaking emotionality of his earlier work while bringing to bear his decades of experience and life lived since then. It’s no small thing to consistently upstage Joaquin Phoenix, especially without out-acting him, but Reilly does it here, scene after scene after scene. In an artful, entertaining, frequently beautiful movie, he’s the one to watch. In Oregon, 1851, the titular brothers Eli (Reilly) and Charlie (Phoenix), guns in the employ of the mysterious Commodore (Rutger Hauer), are assigned to track and kill itinerant chemist Herman Kermit Warm (Riz Ahmed), with the assistance of detective John Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal). As they draw closer to their quarry, they learn he has developed a formula to expedite gold-mining in streams, which has brought him to the attention of the Commodore and others. The possibilities of this process are not lost on Morris, nor are Warm’s charm and utopian vision for the world. Morris throws in with Warm, attempting to put the Sisters brothers off their trail. Eli, meanwhile, wrangles with his own sense of identity, as well as with his brother’s problematic drinking, ego, bloodlust and unending love for him. Directed by Jacques Audiard, who adapted Patrick DeWitt’s novel with Thomas Bidegain, The Sisters Brothers is a western in the classic tradition, perfectly costumed and production designed, a deeply immersive created world. But it is also an entirely modern study in character and psychological realism, acted by some of the best in the business. R. 121M. BROADWAY. — John J.

Free Will Astrology Week of Oct. 25, 2018 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: What part of you is too tame? How can you inspire it to seek wilder ways of knowing? Write Freewillastrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her poem “Shedding Skin,” Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin — old rough thing I don’t need now — I strip off, slip out of, leave behind. Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vulnerable stuff. And I’m blinking oaff old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey-wrench. That’ll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person, computer techie, machine whisperer. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. “Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice. Halloween costume suggestion: walk your demon on a leash, make it into a puppet or harness it to your chariot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you paint the walls? Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture, and décor? As you gazed out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hotspots? Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult. That’s crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.” Author Shauna Ni-

equist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her persepctive as true and useful for you. You’ve zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you’ll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg, strong sprout cracking out of a seed. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “He believed in magic,” writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams, and bat wings,” nor “dowsing rods, séances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.” Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,” like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful. What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel Northanger Abbey, and now I’m passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, “If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad.” And where exactly is “abroad”? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I’d like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world. Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): PR executives at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope. They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite. You should not in fact be lounging around in a haze of intoxication. You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause. Very Important People will be more available to you than usual and you’ll be wise to seek their input. Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser, Networker of the Year or Chief Hobnobber. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What kind of idea are you?” asks author Salmon Rushdie. “Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks. If you’re the latter — the cussed, damnfool notion — you may change your world in dramatic ways. Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary, crusader, agitator, rabble-rouser. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is no beauty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allen Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to be beautiful, it doesn’t have to be pretty.” I’ll offer you one more seed for thought: wabi-sabi. It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty — and re-commit yourself to embodying it. Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty. ●

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

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 infor− mation. 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.

Creepy Crawlies By Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

A crab spider that wants to fight you. Photo by Anthony Westkamper

Creepy, Cute and Unusual

Looking closely at more crawling critters than most folks, you’d think I’d get used to them. But there is one critter that still holds a Class 4 creep factor for me: the common centipede. If you could cross a spider and a snake, centipedes would be the result. Flexible, fast and venomous — in their world they are a force to be reckoned with. The most common and largest I’ve encountered hereabouts seem to be members of the bark centipede family, Scolopendromorpha. Found under logs, they are brick red, some specimens measure nearly 4 inches long. The “fangs” on the underside of their head (technically called forcipules) are actually highly modified legs complete with venom glands. No known centipede is considered lethal to a healthy adult human and I’ve never encountered anyone that’s been bitten. While “centipede” translates to “hundred foot,” since adults have an odd number of body segments and only two feet per segment, it is impossible for any species to have exactly 100 feet. At the other end of the cuteness scale are the little Mylitta crescent butterflies. I’ve been seeing a great many of these little guys out and about nectaring on Queen Anne’s lace and vigorously defending their territories. This species can have multiple generations in a year and their larvae feed on thistles, altogether a good thing. Once again, the migratory dragonfly, variegated meadowhawk, is gracing our county. I have photographed this particular species every winter going back to 2010, when I first noticed one on a cold sunny winter day. Surviving frosty nights and temperatures which put windowpane ice on puddles is unusual for what is considered a warm season order of insects.

The Girls of Autumn

If spring is the season of butterflies, autumn must be the season of spiders. A short walk across some brushy terrain yielded several dozen spiders of at least half a dozen species. Among spiders, females are often much larger and more conspicuous than the males and, for ones with an annual cycle, this is when they get their biggest, preparing to lay eggs either

now to over winter, or protected in their dormant bodies until spring. Funnel webs were everywhere, each one with a spider with a leg span a bit larger than a quarter standing near the entrance to its lair. This family, Agelenidae, is not related to the dangerous Australian spider of the same name. Last night’s rain dotted their webs like glitter. The large cross orb weavers spin their neat vertical webs near the edges of the forest where open meadow gives way to brush. The large females hang in the center of their webs waiting for food to deliver itself and a prospective mate to come calling. Dome web spiders (family Linyphiidae) hang upside down in their characteristic bell-shaped webs. Literally hundreds wolf spiders (family Lycosidae) raced through the grass ahead of me as I walked. Agile running hunters, about the only webs these spiders spin is an egg sack holding the next generation to the mother’s abdomen. For a few days after they hatch they will cling to their mom’s back, getting a free ride. There is much to like about the little jumping spiders (family Salticideae). Agile runners and jumpers some of their movements are so quick it looks like they’ve mastered short-range teleportation. Lurking on or near flowers you can find crab spiders (family Thomisidae). This family doesn’t spin a snare either but is an ambush predator. Although sometimes they give me the willies, spiders are one of mankind’s greatest allies, estimated to killing and devouring between 500 and 800 million tons of insects annually. I recently ordered yet another insect identification guide, Pacific Northwest Insects by Merill A. Peterson. Although it is billed as a field guide, this 2-pound 6-by-9inch book will not fit in my back pocket. It couldn’t, as it is the most complete guide to the insects of our area all the way up to British Columbia. Abundantly illustrated with 1,725 good identification photos, it has already helped me verify half a dozen IDs including some mentioned here. I can heartily recommend this book. ● For more Humbug, go to www.northcoastjournal.com on Sunday afternoons.
