‘Welfare to the Wealthy’

Heaven

Editor: I agree with Devon Gray’s well written piece (“False Narratives Fuel California’s Failure to Address Poverty,” Oct. 26) and add that there is an imbalance in our political/economic system that sends much more money to the wealthy elites than the government spends on poverty programs. For instance, the RAND Corporation put out a study a couple of years ago stating that taxpayers transfer more than $1 trillion a year for the last 40 years or more to the wealthy elites; who, by the way, fund our political candidates.

When you compare that $50 trillion to our $33 trillion debt you can see that we should be able to have a more equitable system simply by stopping this transfer to the wealthy elites. If we look at the tax system for all incomes and all taxes in the U.S., we find that everyone pays roughly around a 30 to 36 percent rate, while the wealthy elites pay roughly half of that. So stopping welfare to the wealthy would alleviate many of the serious problems we have in this country and stop squeezing so many Americans below the poverty level.

Dennis Whitcomb, Blue Lake

Judge Denies Dinsmore’s Bid for Release Resentencing hearing remains set for Jan. 8

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt County Superior Court Judge John Feeney has decided he doesn’t have the authority to release Steven Dinsmore from custody pending a resentencing hearing in January, leaving the 48 year old to remain in jail until then.

Dinsmore, who was ordered released from custody in 2022 after serving more than 17 years in prison only to be returned to the jail 15 months later after an appellate court overturned Feeney’s decision to release him, let out an audible sigh while being led from the courtroom after the judge’s Oct. 30 decision, as a family member called out, “I love you.”

About a half-dozen supporters attended the hearing, hoping to see Dinsmore released under an electronic monitoring agreement that would have allowed him to return home to care for his fiancé, who his attorney said is recovering from cancer surgery, and resume working for Caltrans, which had hired him in January.

Initially sentenced by Feeney to serve more than 30 years in prison after he was convicted of assaulting a sheriff’s deputy with a firearm, Dinsmore petitioned the court for relief in 2021. He argued that a new law made the types of mandatory 10-year firearm enhancements that were part of his original sentence discretionary and that he’d been rehabilitated while spending the majority of his adult life in a 6-by-10-foot cell, saying he’d earned his GED and completed dozens of courses, including a 14-month substance abuse program and a victim impact class.

The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office argued against Dinsmore’s release, saying his judgment was final and without something challenging the legality

of his sentence or conviction, the court didn’t have the authority to re-sentence him. Additionally, Deputy District Attorney Luke Bernthal argued the new sentencing law was not retroactive, meaning it didn’t apply to Dinsmore or anyone else sentenced prior to it going into effect.

When the matter came to a hearing in May of 2022, with Dinsmore appearing via Zoom from Coalinga State Prison, Feeney indicated he was moved by Dinsmore’s “sincere remorse” for his past crimes and “impressive record of rehabilitative work.”

He said that “continued incarceration of Mr. Dinsmore is no longer in the interest of justice” and ordered him released from prison. But by the time Dinsmore was released from prison a week later, prosecutors had already filed an appeal, arguing Feeney had overstepped the law.

As the appeal worked its way through the system, Dinsmore set about seizing his new life as a free man. He got work — first as a handyman, then for Caltrans — and reconnected with his daughters, both little when he went to prison and now adults with six children between them. He reconnected with an old high school acquaintance and they got engaged, moving into a home together in Redding.

At the Oct. 30 hearing, Feeney heard from the California State Parole agent assigned to Dinsmore’s case.

“His parole was stellar,” the agent said, adding that Dinsmore passed every random drug/alcohol screening he was given and cleared every hurdle the state put in front of him with “zero violations, zero issues.”

Dinsmore did so well on parole that he was officially discharged in January after Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

less than eight months. But in March the California First District Court of Appeals issued its ruling the case, finding that Feeney had indeed acted without legal authority and Dinsmore’s 10-year firearm enhancement had to be reinstated and he would have to complete his original sentence. But the ruling carried a glimmer of hope for Dinsmore in the form of a footnote: “In light of defendant’s post-conviction efforts and community support, the prosecution may wish to exercise its discretion in favor of considering appropriate alternatives to returning defendant to state prison for the remainder of his term.”

Arriving at the Humboldt County Superior Court on Aug. 29 for a hearing on the appellate ruling, Dinsmore was optimistic he wouldn’t be sent back to prison, so much so that he wore his Caltrans uniform, expecting to return to work later that day.

Instead, prosecutors declined to offer any alternative to imprisonment when asked and Dinsmore was handcuffed and taken into custody to serve another 10 years.

The California Legislature has since passed Assembly Bill 600 — authored by Assemblymember Philip Ting with the

help of Richard Braucher, a staff attorney with the First District Appellate Project who worked on Dinsmore’s appeal — and it was signed into law Oct. 8. The bill explicitly makes judges’ discretion over those firearm enhancements retroactive, opening the door for Dinsmore and others in his shoes to receive sentencing relief.

The new law, however, doesn’t go into effect until Jan. 1.

At an Oct. 16 hearing in the case, Feeney said he believes Dinsmore “has clearly demonstrated his rehabilitation” and, by his own motion, set a Jan. 8 re-sentencing hearing in the case. The question then turned to what should happen to Dinsmore until then.

His attorney, Ben McLaughlin, asked the court to release him pending re-sentencing, with the oversight of county probation or state parole. At a subsequent hearing, it was agreed that a superior court judge wouldn’t have the authority to release someone on parole — that’s the province of parole boards and prisons — leaving the probation department as the only potential avenue for Dinsmore’s release.

McLaughlin argued that it was in

Feeney’s power to do so. While typically a judge loses authority over a defendant when a judgement is executed after conviction, McLaughlin said a defendant does not technically begin serving their prison sentence until “an abstract ordering commitment is prepared by the clerk of the court,” which has not been done since Dinsmore’s sentence was reinstated.

Bernthal countered that while it was “a little bit unclear” from his office’s perspective whether the court retained jurisdiction over Dinsmore’s custodial status, what was clear is that the court of appeal had told Feeney to reimpose Dinsmore’s initial prison sentence.

“If the court does have jurisdiction, I think it should follow that directive,” Bernthal said.

Feeney ultimately agreed. While the judge expressed sympathy for Dinsmore’s situation — saying he wished good health to his fiancé and was mindful of the importance of “every day” — he said he did not believe he had jurisdiction to order Dinsmore’s release given the “clear directive” from the appellate court.

At an earlier hearing, Feeney described his comments about finding Dinsmore rehabilitated as akin to a tentative ruling, noting that Dinsmore’s attorney and Bernthal would have the opportunity to brief and argue whether Dinsmore was deserving of resentencing. Victims in the case — presumably the Humboldt County sheriff ’s deputy that Dinsmore, addicted and desperate, attempted to shoot during a 2005 traffic stop and the then deputy Michael Fridley, grabbed Dinsmore’s handgun and prevented it from firing, his finger blocking the hammer from reaching the firing pin — will also have a chance to address the court, Feeney said.

On Oct. 30, Feeney said that when it comes time to consider resentencing, he would also take into account the comments he’d heard earlier that day from Dinsmore’s parole agent and Humboldt County correctional officer Jonathan Kaufman . Briefly addressing the court during Zoom at McLaughlin’s request, Kaufman said Dinsmore has repeatedly volunteered to take on extra chores since coming into the jail Aug. 29, from day-today cleaning duties to recently spending a week stripping and waxing the floors in his dorm unit. McLaughlin asked how Kaufman would describe Dinsmore’s conduct since entering the facility.

“Exemplary,” Kaufman said. “I wish we had more inmates like him.” ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at (707) 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com.

Stop Blaming The Victims of Bad Road Design and Unsafe Driving

By Colin Fiske

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt County has a serious pedestrian safety problem. In 2022 alone, drivers in the county hit and killed eight people who were walking or rolling — and hit and injured 40 more. Of the 58 counties in California, the state Office of Traffic Safety currently ranks Humboldt as the second worst for pedestrian injuries and deaths.

When these crashes are mapped, it quickly becomes clear that many of them — particularly the most severe incidents — are happening in the same places over and over. Clearly these are not random tragedies. The risk of pedestrians being hurt or killed is particularly high on certain streets and roads, especially the places where state highways and other major roads cut through our cities and towns.

But if you got all your information from law enforcement statements and media coverage, you’d probably think each collision was an isolated event caused by an irresponsible pedestrian.

In the early morning of Tuesday, Sept.

12, Ashley Hipol was walking home along the shoulder of U.S. Highway 101 in Fortuna, in an area where the freeway is essentially the only way to get from north to south. A driver swerved, hit her and drove on without stopping. Both of Ashley’s legs were injured, and her pelvis shattered.

Due to Ashley’s traumatic injuries, she was unable to make a statement to California Highway Patrol officers investigating the crash that day. But the CHP put out a statement anyway, claiming that Ashley had been “walking or lying” in the right lane of the highway before being hit, and that the unidentified hit-and-run driver — who had committed a felony by hitting a person and failing to stop — “may not have been aware that Ms. Hipol was struck.”

In other words, despite an almost complete lack of information about the incident at the time, CHP preemptively blamed the victim and exonerated the

driver. Various local media outlets carried the story, predictably triggering online commenters to engage in cruel attacks and baseless speculation about Ashley and her supposed actions before the crash.

Ashley’s story carries echoes of another local crash, this one on Feb. 16, 2021. On that day, a driver hit a 45-year-old man who was crossing Fifth Street in Eureka on foot. The victim was left in critical condition and unable to make a statement. But the Eureka Police Department issued an initial press release stating that “the pedestrian suddenly stepped into the roadway into the path of the oncoming vehicle” and praising the driver who hit him as “cooperative throughout the investigation.”

Two days later, EPD was forced to recant after reviewing surveillance video of the crash that showed the victim had been using a marked crosswalk and was almost all the way across the street when hit by the driver. Unsurprisingly, the driver’s initial statements to police had not reflected reality. But the officers had apparently taken the driver’s account at face value, despite the circumstances.

Usually when a driver hits a pedestrian and it makes the news, the pedestrian is either critically injured or already dead.

That is the tragically predictable result when a large, high-speed vehicle crashes into an unprotected person. For police and reporters, this means that initial characterizations of these crashes tend to rely only on the account of the driver, and sometimes only on police officers’ speculation. These unverified accounts typically receive uncritical media coverage and, in turn, shape public perceptions of traffic safety.

The only reason we know the true story about Hipol is that she survived the crash, and has been making public statements online and to reporters in an effort to correct the record. The only reason we know the truth about what happened in FebruContinued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

ary of 2021 is that there was video footage of the crash. But even in these cases, as more facts emerged, there was minimal follow-up coverage to correct the biased and inaccurate initial reporting. Even when a pedestrian — or a video tape — survives to tell the real story, most local news consumers will never see or hear them.

There is lasting damage done by victim-blaming police statements, and by the failure of local media to put those statements in context. Additional emotional trauma is inflicted on victims and families who are already experiencing traumatic, life-changing events. These statements also create and reinforce a public narrative that makes it harder to prevent these kinds of tragedies from happening again.

Studies have shown media coverage of vehicle-pedestrian crashes is almost always suffused with victim-blaming biases, ranging from the blatantly obvious (“suddenly stepped into the roadway”) to more subtle but still impactful grammatical and word choices. Coverage also consistently frames these collisions as isolated incidents, ignoring the fact that they keep happening, day after day, year after year, mostly in the same locations. Often, as in the local cases described above, this is partly a result of quoting or simply re-publishing law enforcement statements that reflect these same biases.

The result of this coverage, researchers have found, is not only more victim-blaming in each case, but also reduced public support for broad changes that can actually reduce future injuries and deaths. Decades of data show that by far the most effective way to prevent serious crashes is to redesign roads and provide safe facilities for all users. But when crashes are falsely framed as isolated incidents resulting from individual choices, news consumers become less supportive of safe street design. And when police and the media blame the victim’s choices in particular, government agencies and the motoring

public are relieved of any responsibility for changing the status quo.

These are not minor effects. One study found that simply removing a few common biases from news articles about vehicle-pedestrian crashes caused 30 percent fewer readers to blame the victim.

Putting those crashes in a broader context, meanwhile, increased support for safer street design by 8 percent — just from reading a single article. Less biased public reporting by both law enforcement and the media — and consistently providing relevant contextual information about historical collision patterns, street design and available pedestrian facilities — could mean the difference between public opposition to evidence-based street safety improvements and widespread support.

Some may object that police officers and reporters are just doing their jobs, and that it’s not their responsibility to build public support for one kind of policy or another. That’s true. But as we’ve seen, today’s standard law enforcement statements and media reports about vehicle-pedestrian crashes are not objective, factual or complete. The pervasive bias, speculation, victim-blaming and disregard of broader context are all clear signs that something needs to change.

Words have consequences. In the case of police officers and reporters covering vehicle-pedestrian crashes, words can either reinforce victim-blaming attitudes that contribute to the unending stream of tragedies, or they can change minds and generate understanding and support for evidence-based safety improvements. We need to stop blaming victims and start saving lives. ● Colin Fiske (he/him) is the executive director of the Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities, a non-profit organization advocating for safe and sustainable transportation.

‘A Slippery Slope to Theocracy’

By Jared Huffman

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

T

he good news is that after an unprecedented 22 days without a Speaker of the House, Congress is open again. House Republicans finally resolved their internal chaos and dysfunction and selected Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana to be the new speaker Oct. 25. It is shameful and inexcusable that more than three weeks of Congress’ time was wasted on this intra-party drama, but at least it’s over.

As we try to get Congress back to work, many of my constituents are rightfully interested in knowing more about Speaker Johnson, a little-known member of Congress who now not only leads the House of Representatives but is second in line to the presidency.

I know Speaker Johnson to be smart and affable, and I certainly hope he will be a better leader than his predecessor Kevin McCarthy.

But I must also candidly share my concerns about what his sudden ascendancy to the Speakership could mean for our country.

Speaker Johnson is an avid Christian nationalist with little experience in leading, but a long track record of MAGA extremism.

For those who care about governing and democracy, and certainly anyone who values the secular character of our government, it’s important to understand that the new speaker — and the House Republican conference that chose him as their standard-bearer — reflects the most extreme political agenda we’ve ever seen from a majority party in Congress. Speaker Johnson’s record includes: He is among the most extreme anti-abortion crusaders in Congress.

• Celebrated the end of Roe v. Wade • Supports a nationwide abortion ban, including supporting a bill that would write anti-abortion views into the Constitution • Opposed private companies covering employees’ abortion care He is a longtime advocate for extreme homophobic, anti-LGBTQ policies.

• Consistently disparages gay and trans people as having “bizarre lifestyle choices” • Authored a national version of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill • Led a Louisiana bill to prohibit state marriage benefits from going to same-sex couples and voted against the Respect for Marriage Act in the 117th Congress • Described gender affirming care for trans kids as “butchery” • Opposes comprehensive, inclusive sex education • As a state legislator, proposed legislation

to protect pastors who refuse to perform same-sex or interracial marriages from anti-discrimination laws • Wrote in support of criminalizing sex between gay individuals He supports extreme, discriminatory and inhumane anti-immigrant policies.

• Supported Trump’s Muslim Ban • Voted to eliminate funding for migrant and refugee assistance He is a climate change denier.

He is a threat to every American’s earned benefits.

• Wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid • Voted against the PACT Act • Proposed a “debt commission” which the White House has called a “death panel” for Social Security and Medicare He played a major role in efforts to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results.

• Personally lobbied other Republicans to reject the 2020 election results • Led an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to overturn the 2020 election • Voted against certifying the 2020 election, even after the riots on Jan. 6 He voted against the continuing resolution and to shut down the government on Sept. 30 this year.

On top of all of this, Speaker Johnson embodies one of the most serious threats to democracy of our time: an outright rejection of the separation of church and state and documented ties to extreme Christian nationalism. His utter disdain for the establishment clause of the First Amendment and the right to actual freedom of religion reveals he’s more interested bending public policy to reflect his personal religious views, which is a slippery slope to theocracy and governing under one imposed religion, instead of respecting the secular democracy our founders envisioned.

I’m surprised and concerned that every single House Republican voted for Speaker Johnson, notwithstanding all of the above. It tells us that House Republicans are doubling down on an extreme MAGA agenda and, unfortunately, we can expect more dysfunction and chaos ahead. My fellow Democrats and I will remain focused on the issues that impact folks across the country, including lowering costs, growing the middle class, enacting bold climate action and protecting our democracy. l Jared Huffman (he/him) has represented California’s Second Congressional District since 2013.

University Police Investigating Alleged Assault of Palestine Supporter

C

al Poly Humboldt police are investigating allegations that a student was assaulted twice Oct. 28 near the Arcata Plaza after expressing her support of Palestine.

University spokesperson Aileen Yoo said she could confirm the incident that occurred in the parking lot of the campus bookstore off the plaza was under investigation by UPD but declined to comment further. Arcata police declined to comment, saying UPD was leading the investigation, while inquiries to UPD were forwarded to the university’s news and information department.

According to a press release sent on her behalf, CPH student Gigi Hyden says she had attended a weekly rally on the Arcata Plaza in support of Palestine and was leaving around 2 p.m. when some men she identified as College of the Redwoods baseball team members were leaving the Arcata Ballpark and engaged her in conversation after noticing she was carrying pro-Palestine signs. While one of the men expressed “genuine interest” in Hyden’s signs, according to the press release, another said things about the need to “blow up Hamas” and “who care about babies if we can kill Hamas.”

According to the press release, the man who’d said these things about Hamas then hit Hyden with his car as he was pulling out of a parking lot and she was walking on the sidewalk “with such force that she ended up on top of the hood of the car and her sign went flying nearly 20 feet to

Hyden says a College of the Redwoods assistant baseball coach, who’d previously been on scene but had left, returned, parking his car in the middle of the road, jumping out and approaching Hyden, according to the release. According to the press release, Hyden and her friend attempted to leave the scene but were surrounded by the men and the assistant coach, who Hyden alleges called her a “stupid fucking cunt” and threatened her, saying, “I don’t give a fuck if you’re a woman. I have no problem putting hands on you.”

“Then, while she was surrounded on the Arcata city sidewalk and trying to get away, [the assistant coach] stood in her way and pressed his elbow and forearm into her throat, pinning her in a choke for about 10 seconds before she wriggled away from the crowd,” the press release states.

After getting home, Hyden called Arcata police to report the incident, according to the press release, which adds UPD later contacted her and informed her it would be leading the investigation.

Attempts to contact the assistant coach were not immediately successful.

College of the Redwoods spokesperson Molly Blakemore said the college is aware of an “incident” in downtown Arcata on Saturday “involving CR’s athletic teams/ coaches and protesters.”

“The nature of this incident was very concerning to all involved,” Blakemore wrote in an email to the Journal. “There is an ongoing criminal investigation which

Additionally, Stephens said it’s unclear how long the person had been dead prior to their body being discovered. “It is unknown why the fire was there and how it played into everything,” he said.

Gold Rush Outpost Now in Native Hands After nearly two centuries, the Salmon River Outpost has become a hub for Indigenous community members

F

ounded during the mid-1800s gold rush, the Salmon River Outpost is situated along a winding road in the mountains of Northern California.

Once, it was a gathering place where miners and settlers bought supplies while pursuing a dream that had brutal consequences. One of only two grocery stores for miles, the store has served the rural community of Somes Bar for generations.

After nearly two centuries of contentious relationships between historical owners and local Indigenous communities, the dynamic has shifted. In July, Indigenous husband and wife duo Joe and Elly O’Rourke bought the Salmon River Outpost.

That’s thanks in part to a new program operated by the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians Economic Development Corporation. This grocery store is the first project to benefit from a new $73 million pot of federal money intended to help small businesses in Indian Country that might not otherwise get the funding they need to flourish.

ATNI-EDC will oversee roughly a third of that money. The organization has cultivated a union of 25 tribal governments across the West working together to fund enterprises under the new State Small Business Credit Initiative Awards.

“We’re glad to be the first Native owners of an original outpost,” Elly O’Rourke

says. “We’re happy to be running it and get it built back up to what our community needs.”

Meeting the needs of Somes Bar looks different for each customer. For regulars like Ebba Fournier, it’s as simple as bringing in her own decaf coffee for Joe O’Rourke to make into a latte each week. She also appreciates the ever-growing inventory.

“I love that they have organic stuff and healthy food. The beer and wine selection is pretty good, too,” Fournier adds. “I like their display of local people to have their art, jewelry and things like that.”

For other community members, the help is a little more hands on.

On a late September afternoon, an

elderly man parked out front was experiencing car troubles. Sitting in the front seat of his red pickup truck, the man’s dog watched closely as Joe handed him tools and peered under the hood to see how he could help.

A Family Affair

Elly, Karuk, and Joe, Yurok, met when she was 10 and he was 12. They dated in high school, when Joe promised to build her a house with a circle driveway on her family’s land overlooking the Klamath River.

The pair separated for about a decade — Elly went off to college while Joe stayed home, sharpening his skills as

a contractor. They each got married and started building families of their own.

But like any good love story, they eventually found their way back to each other.

Since they’ve been back together, they had two children, and Joe kept his promise: He built Elly the house and circular driveway of her dreams, teaching himself through YouTube videos.

“He tells me I’m the smartest person he knows,” Elly says, smiling at Joe. “And she says I’m the smartest person she knows,” Joe responds. “There is nothing we can’t accomplish together.”

Reunited with a blended family of seven kids ranging in age from 2 to 20, the couple has embarked on a new adventure: business ownership.

Operating the store has become a family affair.

At the Salmon River Outpost, it’s common to see the two youngest O’Rourke kids running about — Sihára, 2, has his own mini metal shopping cart he likes to weave up and down the aisles, while Morek, 7, helps with chores around the store.

“My favorite part is taking out the garbage,” Morek says.

Morek swings his legs as he eats the ice cream bar he earned by taking the trash out. His face is soon covered with melted mint chocolate chip that drips down his hands.

He walks out front and quickly shifts to his other favorite role: store greeter.

He spends hours visiting with locals who come in to use the store’s free Wi-Fi and chatting with tourists.

Following in his parents’ footsteps, the family’s 17-year-old, Íhaan, started his own business soon after the O’Rourkes purchased the store. Using Facebook,

Íhaan launched a grocery delivery service.

He takes customers’ orders and brings groceries to their front door for a $10 fee.

Through his business, he is able to pay for gas money and have a bit of extra cash to spend as well, according to Elly.

“He calls himself the Salmon Runner,” Elly says.

Healing a Relationship with the Community In 1849, the California Gold Rush drew the Brizard family from Peru, where they had been living after emigrating from France. For a century, A. Brizard Inc. was a major retail supplier of produce, household items, mining and farm equipment in Humboldt, Siskiyou and Trinity counties.

The operation grew to 13 locations, ranging from the California coast to inland areas, including the Salmon River Outpost.

The original building — 16-miles round trip from Elly’s family’s allotment along the Salmon River — was lost to the “thousand year flood” of 1964 that devastated Northern California. The store has moved a couple more times since then, but the name remains the same.

Contentious relationships with tribal citizens was a common theme of A. Brizard Inc. outposts.

“They weren’t necessarily favorable to the local Natives,” Elly says. “Instead of giving them money, (Brizard) gave them ‘Brizard coins’ for their goods.”

Native artists sold woven baskets, beadwork and other handmade goods to Brizard stores in exchange for Brizard coins, which meant they had to come back to his stores to buy their groceries.

O’Rourke family was crowded around their dinner table, eating tri-tip steak with mashed potatoes and salad, followed by homemade lime ice cream.

“When you were a kid, did they still do the Brizard coins?” Elly asked her soon-tobe 87-year-old Atish, or grandmother in Karuk.

“Yes,” Jeanerette Jacups-Johnny said with a chuckle. “Natives didn’t understand money. And they used them to skip like rocks across the river. So, it was a different life back then.”

Healing the store’s relationship with Indigenous customers has been one of the O’Rourkes’ top priorities. First up was providing space for Natives to showcase and sell their artwork, pottery, homemade soaps and beaded jewelry — and paying them in real money.

“There’s a more steady stream of local customers now that we own it — the Native community,” Elly says. “There’s this one customer who drives all the way in from the coast and when he walks in, he always says, ‘Here’s my favorite store.’”

Homemade hot meals are another thing the couple brought to the community. Every Saturday, Joe fires up the store’s commercial kitchen and makes pulled pork sliders, smoked ribs, street tacos, cold-cut sub sandwiches and more.

His next culinary adventure? Homemade ice cream.

The couple implemented a suggestion box to ensure the store carries the products community members want. Customers can drop a note to request specific brands of coffee and creamer, foods that meet dietary restrictions, or anything else

the store does not yet carry.

Financing a Business

It was on a whim one lazy afternoon down by the river, when Joe turned to his wife after a snack run. He suggested they buy the Salmon River Outpost — a community staple since the 1800s and two days later, Elly was onboard. But the couple’s dream didn’t come cheap.

The store had been listed for sale on Craigslist for three years, according to Elly.

When they expressed interest, the seller agreed to lower the price for a local family.

Even so, an asking price of $200,000 for the business and another $450,000 for the nearly 2 acres of land it sits on meant getting approved for more than $650,000 in funding. It was not easy and likely would not have been possible at all without three separate organizations’ willingness to work together to support the O’Rourke family dream.

In the end, the Arcata Economic Development Corporation stepped up as the primary lender, contributing $375,000. The Alliance, the Yurok Tribe’s community development financial institution, loaned the O’Rourkes $50,000. And a new ATNI-EDC program, in partnership with the Karuk Tribe, loaned the couple $250,000. The extra $25,000 in loans went toward business capital.

Having three lenders involved could have made the loan process complicated for the O’Rourkes, but instead all three loans are managed through the Arcata Economic Development Corporation.

In June, the Biden-Harris administration approved the first 15 Tribal State Small

Business Credit Initiative Awards — providing $73 million to 39 tribal governments to support tribal enterprises and small business owners across the country.

The ATNI-EDC will operate the State Small Business Credit Initiative programs in partnership with 25 tribal governments spread across California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Arizona.

“I call it a lightning strike, once in a lifetime moment,” said Casey Pearlman, Iñupiaq, business development specialist at ATNI-EDC. “Just the amount of capital that’s getting poured into these communities is certainly at a rate that we’ve never experienced in the lifetime of our organization.”

ATNI-EDC is partnering with other financial institutions — including local community development financial institutions, banks and credit unions — in order to distribute loans to support Indigenous entrepreneurs and economic development opportunities across Indian Country.

In practice, applying for an SSBCI loan is “just like applying for any other loan” through a local community development financial institution, according to Pearlman.

The Salmon River Outpost is just the

first economic development project in Native communities across the Northwest that the program will help support.

Two other projects are currently in the works. One is a tribal enterprise energy project that will use nut shells in a process called gasification to produce energy, biochar and carbon credits. This will create three new revenue streams for the tribe, which Pearlman chose not to name because the project has not yet been officially announced.

Also in the works is a partnership with Yakama Nation to open a new convenience store called “Yakamart,” according to Pearlman.

‘Cash is King’

Back at the Salmon River Outpost, the O’Rourkes say owning and operating a grocery store is no easy task. The couple has faced struggles and triumphs, both expected and unforeseen.

Situated 45 minutes from Happy Camp, the outpost is in the heart of a fire prone area of Northern California. As fire season has become more intense, the ability to get fire insurance has become more elusive.

Typically, businesses are supposed to

have insurance within 10 days of opening but the couple had to file for an extension because they struggled to even get an inspector to come give them a quote, according to Joe. “We haven’t gotten insurance yet,” Joe says. “It is damn near impossible.”

In late September, smoke hung heavy in the air and small blazes could be seen from the highway just a few miles down the road. Eventually, the couple did get a quote — $20,000 per year for fire insurance alone.

“How are small businesses supposed to survive when you require something that’s … almost impossible to get, and then once you do get it, it is almost impossible to afford?” Joe asks.

Credit card fees were another unforeseen expense.

Banks charge the store between 2 and 5 percent of each transaction, depending on the type of credit or debit card used. The fees quickly add up.

“I’m estimating our credit card fees will be about $2,500 a month,” Elly says, which adds up to $30,000 each year.

While this may be standard for a small business, it is a lot of extra money the couple didn’t realize they needed to

account for.

“Honestly, we’re just trying to make a living and, right now, we’re losing money out of our pocket,” Joe says.

One way they are hoping to offset some of this cost is by incentivizing cash payments with a discount. Because the store is in a remote area with high levels of poverty, the couple does what they can to keep prices affordable, but say it can be hard to avoid increasing costs to make up for card fees.

“Cash is king,” Joe says.

The community seems to want the store to succeed. Andy Ayers has been volunteering one of his days off for the past year and a half to help keep the place up and running.

“People want a gathering place, which I think this store has been, could be and is becoming again,” Ayers says. ● This story is co-published

s the autumn wind quietly flies by and the leaves slowly drift down, the ground looks like a fall blanket. Fall is the season of nostalgia. It brings me back to my childhood in China. I can still see the endless golden rice fields and the sweat of hardworking villagers, and hear the laughter of the children running around during harvest celebrations. I can smell the steamed fluffy bread, the fragrance of the new rice soup, the sweet roasted yam my family and neighbors prepared as if it were yesterday. l often like to recreate these childhood comfort foods during the cooler seasons. However, my favorite is making dai bao, which translates to “big meat bun.” These buns are about 4 inches wide with snowy-white, soft dough, and filled with tender meat, hard boiled eggs and Chinese lap cheong sausage. They are a breakfast of champions, as l tell my kids, and you can still find some shopkeepers from my hometown making them in San Francisco Chinatown.

I often think about my grandpa when l make dai bao. I fondly remember him bring them in paper wrappers from the local market for special occasions. We couldn’t afford to have them often, so they were greatly appreciated. He would tease my siblings and l by asking us to guess what treats he had brought. The familiar scent of the yeasty bread would make me jump with joy. As he gently opened the paper wraps, we would each take one. I would sit on the front porch enjoying the breezy afternoon wind while carefully peeling back the dough bit by bit. When l finally got to the filling, l would take a full bite to get a bit of everything: the succulent pork, the egg and lap cheong. l wish so badly l could make dai bao for grandpa now. He moved to America while l was just a teenager and left the world a few years later, before my family and I moved over. The last memories he left me were postcards of gigantic redwood trees and leaf shaped bookmarks.

He would address me as “Mister” in his letter, still poking fun. l learned how to make dai bao from my mother after l became a mom. Sharing my

favorite childhood snack with my kids made me feel close to home. I like to use local wild mushrooms in the filling instead of dried shiitake. I called them Humboldt matsutake buns when l served them to out-oftown guests. I hope you find time to make and experience these wonderful treats.

Dai Bao (Big Meat Buns)

The filling can be made up to a day ahead. The pork shouldn’t be too lean; make sure there is visible fat. l find store bought ground pork is too fine for this recipe, so I chop or grind my own. Makes 8 buns.

Ingredients For the dough: 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 3 tablespoons lukewarm water 3 cups cake flour 3 tablespoons wheat starch ½ teaspoon salt ¼ cup white sugar ¾ to 1 cup warm milk or water for dough 2 teaspoons baking powder (to add after rising) For the filling: 1 pound pork 1 small raw egg 1 teaspoon grated ginger ½ teaspoon white pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon vegetable oil ¼ cup chopped fresh shiitake or matsutake mushroom ¼ cup chopped scallions 4 tablespoons water 4 hard boiled eggs 2 links Chinese sausage

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast with 3 tablespoons warm water, and let it rest for 3 minutes. Add in cake flour, wheat starch, salt and sugar, and stir. Add warm milk or water a little at a time, kneading by hand until there isn’t any dry flour left.

plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

While the dough is resting, get the filling ready by coarsely chopping or grinding the pork. Place the pork in a large bowl, adding the raw egg, ginger, white pepper, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, shiitake, scallions and oil. Mix well. Grab a handful of the meat mixture, slap it against the bowl a few times to tenderize it. Finally add 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes. Peel and cut each hardboiled egg in half. Split each lop cheong in half, then again crosswise for a total of 8 pieces, and set aside.

Time to check the dough. It should be doubled in size by now. Punch it down with your fist to let the air out. Knead the dough a few times, then add the baking powder and knead for 4 more minutes.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, cover and let it rest for 10 more minutes.

Time to get your steamer out. Cut 8 squares of parchment paper, about 5 inches each. Using a rolling pin, flatten

each ball to a 6-inch circle, leaving the center slightly thicker. In the center, place about 3 tablespoons of meat mixture, 1 piece of lop cheong and ½ a boiled egg.

Fold and pleat the dough evenly, pinching the edges together until you reach the end, then make a twist to close the bun.

No matter how you fold it, just make sure the filling is completely sealed inside. Place each bun on a parchment square and place in the steam basket. Make sure to leave space between each bun. I usually put 4 in my 12-inch bamboo steamer basket at a time. Fill the wok or pot you will use with warm water, about 3 inches deep, place the steam baskets above the water in the pot or wok. Cover tightly for 10 minutes for the final rise. Then turn the burner on high, steaming the buns for 18 minutes if doing 2 baskets at once, or 15 minutes for 1 basket. Turn the stove off and let the buns rest for 2 minutes before opening the cover. Serve and enjoy with a cup of tea for breakfast or snack. ● You can find Home Cooking with Wendy Chan (she/her) classes benefitting local charities on Facebook.

HISTORY

Return of The Valley of the Giants

By Alex Service

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com A scene from The Valley of the Giants.

F

or nearly all of that century, the 1919 made-in-Humboldt movie The Valley of the Giants was thought lost. In 2010, one surviving print surfaced in an archive in Russia.

Film historian Edward Lorusso of Maine started a crowd-funding campaign to translate the silent movie’s Russian inter-titles (dialogue and narrative in a silent film) into English to release it on DVD. On Nov. 3 and 4, Humboldters will have a chance to see it at the historic Eureka Theater (612 F St.) with a live musical score and sound effects by Squeezebug. The showing benefits the architectural preservation organization the Eureka Heritage Society, which brings us the annual Eureka Home Tour and owns and maintain Eureka’s Annie B. Ryan House and Gardens.

Based on a novel by Bay Area author Peter B. Kyne, The Valley of the Giants intersects with Humboldt history. In 1898, 18-year-old Kyne lied about his age to get into the Spanish-American War. Returning from the Army, he trained as a stenographer and landed a job in the San Francisco office of Eureka’s Dolbeer-Carson Lumber Co., working for timber barons John Dolbeer and William Carson. In 1917, Kyne, by then a best-selling novelist, traveled to Eureka to research his next book, a melodramatic “romance of the redwoods.” Legend has it he wrote the last 30,000 words of the book in one day. He had a contract for the novel and wanted to deliver it to his publisher before enlisting for World War I. The Valley of the Giants was published just in time for Christmas in 1918. By January, Paramount was planning to film the movie on the very locations where the novel was set.

The setting “Sequoia” is a lightly fictionalized Eureka and the novel’s timber baron John Cardigan bears a strong resemblance Carson. Cardigan vows to preserve a grove of virgin redwoods, while the real life Carson pledged his support for the creation of a redwood park on timberland he owned near Fortuna. Possibly due to his 1912 death, this plan eventually failed and “Carson Woods” was logged in the early 1920s — widely cited as the shock that spurred many save-theredwoods supporters into action.

In January of 1919, Humboldt newspapers reported director James Cruze, his cast and crew would arrive in Eureka the next month. Leading the cast was superstar Wallace Reid, the top-earning movie star in the country. Filming took place in Eureka, Samoa, Arcata, Trinidad, Korbel and Scotia. Eureka’s celebrated Carson Mansion plays the role of the Cardigan Mansion.

Real life got too close to fiction for the film’s cast and crew on Feb. 23, 1919.

En route to filming a thrilling train wreck sequence in the woods near Korbel, the Hammond Lumber Co. caboose in which they rode derailed. The Humboldt Times reported on Feb. 25, “if the train had been going at 40 miles an hour instead of four when the caboose jumped the track in the Hammond woods near Camp 22 Sunday afternoon there might have been a real accident.” The Times cheerfully continued, “As a matter of fact, however, the near-wreck in the woods Sunday was just an interesting experience for the members of the company.”

The “near-wreck” proved all-too-real for star Wallace Reid. He sustained a scalp wound several inches long and was

18 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 • northcoastjournal.com

prescribed morphine so he could carry on with filming. This would lead to addiction that contributed to his death in January of 1923, at 31, after a highly publicized attempt at rehab and to the shock of his adoring public. He was the first American celebrity known to have died as a result of drug addiction.

That tragic fate was undreamed-of in March of 1919, when Reid and his fellow actors made special appearances at the Minor Theatre and Eureka’s Rialto Theater at showings of two of his earlier films.

Six months later, the Rialto hosted the almost-world-premiere of The Valley of the Giants at the Rialto on Sept. 4, a week after it opened in New York City.

Faint traces of the one-time 1,200-seat movie palace at 525 F St., a block away from the Eureka Theater, can still be seen; local historian Tom E. Murray wrote in 1992, “Though gutted, the shell of the building still stands … housing a Chinese restaurant.”) The Humboldt Times described Valley of the Giants as “a picture everyone will want to see.” Tickets for the 1919 Eureka premiere cost 30 cents for adults and 20 cents for children; “loge chairs” cost 50 cents — all prices included the war tax. On Sept. 4, the Times enthused: … all of us Humboldters remember our first inside view of the making of motion pictures while Reid’s company was busily making “local color” scenes in various parts of the county. When they staged the big fight scene on Eureka’s waterfront it seemed that half the population was on hand to see how it was done. And now the great picture is finished and we who saw it made are to have the first opportuni-

ty of seeing it. Those of us who have promised to do their best to save the redwoods for a national park, and this means all of us, will take this picture to heart … And as the picture travels on its way around the world it will show countless millions the beauty of our redwoods and thus help to convince outsiders that the giants of the forest should be preserved for all time.

Kyne’s melodrama played longstanding roles in both the save-the-redwoods movement and Humboldt history. In August of 1919, in a contest sponsored by the Humboldt Standard, the Kyne-inspired name “Highway of the Giants” was chosen for the stretch of the new Redwood Highway now known as Avenue of the Giants. Kyne himself is credited as the person who came up with the name for the Six Rivers National Forest and in 1949 he was guest of honor at Eureka’s first-annual “Valley of the Giants Jubilee” on the Fourth of July. After Kyne’s 1957 death, Eureka’s Lion’s Club chapter dedicated a plaque in his memory at Sequoia Park, featuring a quote from The Valley of the Giants: “I’m not going to going to cut the timber in this valley. I haven’t the heart to destroy God’s most wonderful handiwork.”

Tickets for the Nov. 3 and 4 showings at 7:30 p.m. at the Eureka Theater are $20 via eventbrite.com, eurekaheritage.com or at the door. ” l Alex Service (she/her) is the curator at the Fortuna Depot Museum.

Old Songs, Young Blood

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

T

he other day I was thinking about the Pied Piper of Hamelin, that odd musical character from fairy tales who agreed to remove all the rats from a besieged village for a fee. Upon completion of his task, the village leaders decided to renege on payment, so the piper returned and merrily led their children away forever, with the exception of three disabled kids, whose infirmities prevented them from following their friends. In our world, it seems the rats are never removed, just the children.

Except they aren’t all taken away, there are plenty left behind, but all with various catastrophic injuries inflicted by the piper, whose services we keep paying for despite this devastating outcome. We can never stop paying the piper, the town leaders won’t give us another choice. We pay and we watch, maybe forever.

Enough fairy tales, they’re grimmer than Grimm. Let’s listen to some different tunes. Have a good week.

Thursday

Savage Henry Comedy Club presents Double Trouble, hosted by local comedy star Evan Vest. The premise is simple: Every comedian in the audience tosses their name into a hat, two names are drawn at a time by the host, and those folks have to share a stage and improvise for a spell, for better or for worse. Seems promising; find out for yourself at 9 p.m. for a sawbuck (aka $10 to those of you younger than either of our last two presidents).

Friday

The Basement opened its doors again recently after a long layoff due to … well, the circumstances we all got keelhauled by over the last few years. I didn’t get a chance to mark the occasion at the time, so I am instead suggesting that those of you who, like myself, missed the joint should make your way downstairs around 6 p.m. for a cocktail or mocktail and a gander at the musical styling of the acoustic

duo of Flynn Martin and Dave Peterson.

No cover.

If you’re still in the mood for some local flavor, you can stroll over to the Miniplex around 9 p.m. for a showcase of some of the best tunesmiths our area has to offer. $5 gets you in the door for the sounds of Widdershins, The Sugar Boys and Mister Moonbeam, all of whom have been lauded in this space for what they do best.

Saturday

I love a good album release show and tonight’s offering at the Sanctuary looks very promising. Cyrus Smith might be a familiar name to those of you who have followed the market, dance and special event scene, as he has played bass for two of the more interesting and industrious groups from that circuit, namely The Blueberry Hill Boogie Band and The Cowtown Serenaders. His solo stuff is a different animal, with soft folk pop trickling out of the nylon string murmurs of his deftly arranged record Bloom. Smith’s backup crew for the night will be the highly talented pedal steel player Aleister Page from Canary and the Vamp, as well as his multi-stringed pal Daniel Nickerson from the two previously mentioned market bands. Opening support will be provided by local indie-folk outfit Blood Hunny and the shindig starts at 7 p.m., with a $10-$20 sliding scale door price.

Sunday

While many aspects we took for granted from the world of just-a-few-years-ago seem permanently gone, some patterns and cycles have reemerged with welcome colors into our drab-yet-distressing world of the present. One such treasure is the welcome return to our land of the Japanese psyche-music collective Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O., a group of sonic skull-busters who have been churning out the OM-drones in various incarnations for nearly 30 years.

The Miniplex is once again the hosting roost for this vessel of a Godhead aspect.

Also on the bill is Brooklyn’s Dead Leaf Echo, as well as our local-and-abroad travelers Datura Blues, for whom I have played bass before, and might possibly do again if I can get an extremely stupid hand injury to calm down. Regardless of my participation, though, this one is going to be seismic and runs the very possible risk of selling out, so the $20 online early bird tickets look like the best way to get a piece of the worm.

Monday

I don’t mind boosting another Metal Monday night at Savage Henry Comedy Club because the lineups are good at balancing local talent with touring acts, I’m happy to support anything resembling a local metal scene and this regular gig is dependable, and Mondays are a tough field to carve out anything lasting on, and I respect perseverance. So lend an eye, please, as I lay out the details again: The local bands are all top notch, with sludge coming by way of Psyop Victim, death metal provided by Echoes of Ruination and punk splendor provided by Brain Dead Rejects. Tonight’s touring act is Seattle’s death/grind group Rat King, a trio with two brothers who sound like a promising venture based on my brief audio scan of their decade-long discography. As usual, this all-ages gig goes down at 7 p.m., with a $5-$10 sliding scale door price and an I.D. required to drink.

Tuesday

The Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is actually a trio, composed of a bassist, drummer and the titular composer and bandleader’s weapon of choice: the steelpan, an instrument that has always tickled my ears favorably when applied to jazz fusion music, as Mr. Scales and company very skillfully pull off. The music is playful, open and at times brilliant, without ever seeming to be overwrought, which is generally the mark of a casual master.

No slouches in this crew. This midweek show looks like a real treat and $15 for the spacious wooden warmth of Humbrews sounds good to me. 8 p.m.

Wednesday

Gotta hand it to the Arcata Theatre Lounge, which has managed to stump the band this week by doing the unthinkable and putting on a cult horror film from the ’80s that I haven’t seen, nor heard of.

Kudos, this is usually a Jeopardy category with which I have the same comfort as a daily commute. The flick is called Chopping Mall and from what I’ve gathered from the trailer, it’s an anti-capitalist parable that pits teens against the killer robotic security forces in the galleria of a shopping mall, in the liminal spaces of the after-shopping hours. If you’re curious, it’s the same drill as before. Doors at 6 p.m., $5 to get in, $9 to leave with a poster. ● Collin Yeo (he/him) would like to vote with his conscience next year but doubts that option will be on the ballot. He lives in Arcata.

The procession will make its way to Old Town, Eureka, where it will be welcomed at a Dia de Los Muertos celebration taking place there from 3 to 6 p.m. (free).

Slow Build The Royal Hotel and Slotherhouse

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

THE ROYAL HOTEL. I was momentarily at a loss, Killers of the Flower Moon having left a rightful vacuum, both in terms of theatrical releases (who wants to follow that?) and my desire to go see them. This was compounded by a sense of having missed out on scary movie season. And so I cast about in the vast, overfished seas of streaming services for something that might satisfy both a desire for something a little less monumental and more genre-leaning. I came up with a couple of riffs on the tried-and-true Final Girl scenarios (partially in tribute to the Editor’s tastes), with decidedly divergent results.

And yes, the Season of the Witch will have officially passed by the time this reaches the news stand. Don’t @ me.

I was unfamiliar with Kitty Green until her first scripted feature The Assistant (2020), which captured a cultural moment with revelatory skill and insight. It followed Ukraine Is Not a Brothel (2013) and Casting JonBenet (2017), both explorations of the documentary (which I have guiltily yet to see). Anchored by a quiet, devastating performance from Julia Garner (probably best known for the series Ozark), The Assistant deployed some of the tactics of horror cinema to tell a story about the abuse of power and sexual dynamics. Set within the entertainment industry, it has some obvious parallels to a specific series of actual events but, as in all things, its specificity creates universality. I loved it, as much for its timeliness as for the style and craft it demonstrated. It left me wanting another unnerving Green feature and in The Royal Hotel, I’ve got one.

Moving from the claustrophobia of Manhattan office spaces to the equally unnerving outback of Green’s native Australia, The Royal Hotel tells a vastly different story than The Assistant, but with a familiar tone, aesthetic and theme.

Hanna (Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick), partying in Sydney and telling everyone they’re Canadian, find themselves abruptly out of money. They seek out temporary employment and soon enough are tending bar at the eponymous watering hole, the only source of hospitality for apparently

Feeling cute, might do murder later, idk.

Slotherhouse

hundreds of miles. Owned and operated by a problem drinker named Billy (Hugo Weaving), the Royal is primarily a destination for nearby mine workers, whose degrees of misogyny and implied capacity for sexual violence range from some to all-consuming.

Hanna, uncomfortable from the beginning, unsuccessfully entreats Liv to leave together, but Liv is content to make the most of the party life as offered. Tension mounts continually as Billy becomes increasingly incapacitated and refuses to pay the pair their rightful wages, while one particular bar patron proves ever the more threatening.

The trick to The Royal Hotel is in its constant, sustained sense of dread and impending violence. Now some (my wife included) may find this somewhat frustrating, but I found the palpability of the movie’s darkness, along with its desolate, inherently ominous setting, deeply satisfying. And Garner, playing an entirely different part than in The Assistant, proves again that she is as much in conversation with vulnerability and desperation as maybe just about any young working movie actor.

The story might not pay off in a climax that will satisfy pure horror fans, but its psychological violence and the implication of unseen prior events is as terrible as it is artfully presented. R. 91M. STREAMING.

that it might be able to mine my contempt for college “Greek” culture and the garbage island of social media. Which it does … sort of?

The plot is predicated on a patently implausible notion, so in terms of horror the suspension of disbelief might already be in unrecoverable freefall. Shy, earnest Emily (Lisa Ambalavanar) wants desperately (inexplicably) to be the president of her sorority. This would mean unseating influencer-extraordinaire Brianna (Sydney Craven), by all accounts a vile person and perhaps unbeatable opponent. But Emily has a trump card: the advice of a weirdo she met at the mall who traffics in exotic pets. She gets her hands on a murderous sloth (who will eventually post to IG and drive a manual transmission Mustang), which provides her with the soupçon of extra cachet she needed. No matter that the sisters of Lambda Sigma whatever are disappearing at an accelerating clip.

Slotherhouse tends more Keenan Ivory Wayans than Amy Holden Jones and isn’t self-aware enough to acknowledge either influence. But on the plus side, one character calls another “a clout chasing slut who’s all glowed up,” and then somebody gets run over by a smart car, so I guess it’s not all bad. PG13. 93M. HULU, STREAMING. ● John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

SLOTHERHOUSE. So … yeah, the title got me. Admittedly, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the Criterion Channel’s late lamented collection of ’80s horror (a year ago seems like forever and no time at all); the notion of a three-toed sloth rampaging through a sorority house seemed like it might be just the thing. And, as the plot began to play out, the notion emerged

I

grew up in Southern Humboldt but somehow had only been to Redway Beach once or twice, and never in the last 30 years. It’s accessible to the public from Beach Road, but I was guided here this time by my sister-in-law Samantha Wilson and my nephew Henry. Sam has a spa and bed and breakfast across the river called My Humboldt Abode, located at the Groves at Redway Beach. The three of us sat together and watched the stars slowly slide by while I photographed.

Sitting out there for a couple of hours, it was apparent to the naked eye how quickly the stars slipped across the sky. They seem still enough at any given moment, but over time one notices them sliding past the trees and sinking beneath the horizon.

The accompanying photograph was a 21-minute exposure, with the shutter open and the camera taking the picture for the duration. It shows how far the stars moved, from the moment I opened the shutter to the instant I closed it, as they sank toward the western horizon over 21 minutes. Their paths made light trails because while the shutter was open, the sensor was recording their light every moment as they moved across its field of view; so, rather than being pinpoints of light, the stars’ movement turned their paths to streaks of light.

To us as we sat there with the camera, the night looked darker than you see in the photograph, though we could see well enough to walk without tripping (mostly) once our eyes became accustomed to the darkness. One of a camera’s superpowers is its ability to see in the dark using long exposure times. Because the shutter was open for so long, it allowed the sensor to record a lot more light than the human eye can perceive in real time. Think of it as light pouring in like water and filling the sensor up until the image was bright enough. It doesn’t work that way for our eyes.

The South Fork Eel River, giant redwood trees and wheeling stars overhead making streaks over the course of a 21:02-minute exposure. The reddish light in the trees is from dwellings across the river. Redway Beach, Redway, California. Oct. 6, 2023.

Photo by David Wilson

Though the stars made motion streaks, it isn’t the stars moving around us. Their apparent movement is caused by the Earth itself revolving on its axis, changing our view of the heavens moment by moment.

I say axis because Earth is a globe, and you can see the evidence of it in the curvature of the star paths in the sky. To the north, the stars’ paths circle the northern polar axis, which happens to line up well with the North Star, Polaris.

In this photograph, we are facing close to west, where star streaks are setting in more or less straight lines (celestial objects set in the west). You can see this on the left side of the photograph, where the trails are straighter, while to the right you can see the star paths are curving in an arc to the right: those stars are north of west and are making a great arc around the North Star. If this photograph had included Polaris in the north, we would see the star trails circling it.

But if I had included more sky to the southwest (to the left of this view), we would see the streaks arcing to the left, around the southern polar axis. The southern polar axis itself is beneath the southern horizon from our position in the northern latitudes. It’s interesting that the paths of the stars in a photograph can tell you in which direction the camera was facing. l To keep abreast of David Wilson’s (he/ him) latest photography or purchase a print, visit www.mindscapefx.com or follow him on Instagram at @ david_wilson_mfx and on Twitter @ davidwilson_mfx.

CHIEF TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR

City of Arcata

ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN I/II I - $53,201.09 - $67,899.56/yr.

II - $59,585.22 - $76,047.49/yr.

$69,173 - $84,159 PER YEAR, FULL-TIME.

Barbara C. Kelly September 22, 1934 - June 23, 2023 On Friday, June 23, 2023, Barbara June Crumly Kelly; wife, mother, friend, and lifelong activist passed quietly at her home in McKinleyville with loved ones near.

Barbara was a life-long learner and defender of nature, and she departed the earth she worked so hard to protect for many of the 88 years she spent on it.

Born in Whittier, CA on September 22, 1934, Barbara had 3 siblings, Betty, Burton and Curtis. Together with their parents, Elmer and June, she grew up and resided in LA county where she would go on to attend UCLA. There she met her future husband of 65 years, Dr. Paul Kelly. Barbara was a teacher and early childhood educator turned lifelong activist.

Barbara was well known in the larger community of Humboldt County for her activism fighting for and helping conserve nature, endangered species and the overall ecology of her neighborhood and its surrounding communities. She was an advocate for the snowy plover, the preservation of the Lanphere Dunes, Samoa Beach and other coastal areas in the county and she supported the efforts of their various political causes.

She gave countless hours to the Wildflower and Native Plant Societies, trekking through the woods early in the spring to gather for the Wildflower Show, and dedicating much of her life to the study of Mycology. As a lifelong supporter of Planned Parenthood, she defended the rights of young women to seek reproductive health care.

Barbara was a supporter of the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, where she found like-minded people and lifelong friends. She worked diligently with the League of Women Voters and insisted that all of us vote - and educate ourselves about the issues no matter what political walk. Barbara loved to read and could be found on any given day with a stack of books at hand educating herself about all things natural and political from climate change to pollinators. She continuously educated herself on the history of Humboldt County, as well as eagerly consuming the memoirs of many of her favorite political figures.

Barbara is survived by her husband of nearly 65 years, Dr. Paul Sherwood Kelly, their three kids, Roger, Todd and Janae and their children, along with her many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings and their daughter, Patty, along with many dear friends from over the years - including those in her beloved walking group in McKinleyville.

There will be no services per Barbara’s request, but we all agree that she would have appreciated a donation in her memory to the cause of your choice - made with passion and dedication to its purpose just as she spent her life. Barbara will be remembered as a person who worked hard to make the world a better place.

Special thanks to Kim, Carolyn, Jami, Hospice of Humboldt, Visiting Angels for helping Paul, Janae, Todd, and Roger care for Barbara in her final months.
