‘Cannot Be Trusted’

Editor:

The powers that be, including federal, state, and local authorities, cannot be trusted to do the right thing with the high-level radioactive waste stored on Buhne Point! (“44 Feet,” Sept. 15.) With the geology of Buhne Point, its location from the jaws of Humboldt Bay, sea level rise, erosion from storm surge, the fault lines that run near (and perhaps even under) the storage site, the aging condition of the storage casks (and especially the condition of cask No. six), and the very real threat of a tsunami makes it imperative that the high-level radioactive waste be moved o of Buhne Point at the earliest possible time.

As it is, the communities of Humboldt Bay are playing Russian roulette while everyone monkeys around to find a solution to a problem that should have never happened in the first place. The sins of those responsible for creating the problem are history. Now we must hold those responsible for creating the problem (PG&E and the government — historically the Atomic Energy commission — and now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy and Congress) financially and legislatively accountable for transferring the radioactive waste into new transportable casks and move all of it to another location without all of

Rivers and Funerals

The world tilts far enough now Where summer is almost a secret, And lifetimes can easily pass in the still air.

During our walks, then, Over brilliant orange, gold and new sky, Her sadness came to be: Neatly placed Into the yielding grasp Of a freshly fallen maple leaf. Then, sealed into a shiny blue envelope: Scribbled on, When short notes were a thing Of long Sunday afternoons.

Moving water is still great at counting time now, And will soon lap at the stone steps Of a clapboard church out there, Hosting the wailing choirs Of straggled people turned sane again.

— Sam A. Flanagan

Buhne Point’s vulnerabilities previously mentioned and it’s imperative that it be done sooner than later!

Restoration in the Redwoods Orick Mill Site park project moving forward

By Mark Larson newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

The 125-acre Orick Mill Site is under new management. Located on Yurok ancestral lands north of Orick on Bald Hills Road, not far from U.S. Highway 101, the site’s log ging decks used to hold massive old-growth redwood logs. On Saturday, during a timely stoppage of rain showers, the Redwood National and State Parks Gateway and Restoration Project Open House welcomed visitors without a problem — except for the uninvited wandering Roosevelt elk herd that showed up and blocked part of the planned walk to show off the restoration of Prairie Creek and the floodplain.

Now almost free of any evidence of lumber-mill activity, the former mill site was purchased by the Save the Redwoods League in 2013. During the open house, the public was invited to enter the property to view the progress after removal of buildings, as well as acres of asphalt and concrete, the creation of new trails and the restoration of Prairie Creek and adjacent floodplains. Hosts for the open house, guided walks, a free lunch and a mix of activities included Save the Redwoods League, the Yurok Tribe, California Trout, the National Park Service, California State Parks and the Coastal Con servancy.

As visitors entered what will soon be the “southern gateway to Redwood National and State Parks” along Bald Hills Road, we parked in what has been an active two-year de-construction zone of acres of asphalt and concrete in the five-year, $25 million project. Our eyes immediately went to a wide swath of restored flat ground covered in straw on the right that extended all the way to the redwood forest in the background. On the left side were a huge pile of ground-up as phalt (soon to be given to Redwood Nation al Park to re-use) and a giant Stonehenge-like stack of concrete slabs (also soon to be recycled by a concrete construction firm).

A short walk brought us to the event tent area, where staffers from the Save the Redwoods League introduced us to a set of visuals explaining project goals for the site’s transformation, before inviting us to go on the guided walk with Mary Burke, program manager for the North Coast Region of

large herd of Roosevelt elk, uninvited guests to the open house, occupied restored floodplain habitat along the future new channel of Prairie Creek and organizers had to re-route the planned guided walk.

California Trout.

One goal of this project is to provide a “southern gateway” destination closer to the RNP area with lots of parking (reducing pressure on the crowded parking area for the Lady Bird Johnson trailhead, for example). Plans include Yurok village programs, a pe destrian plaza, access to the Coastal Trail and the new Centennial Trail connecting to the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. Hinted at was the possibility of a new RNP visitor center being built here someday to replace the existing one west of Orick that sits in a tsunami zone.

The other main goal of this project is creating 800 feet of a new channel for moving Prairie Creek away from U.S. Highway 101, restoring 18 acres of riparian and wetland floodplains, and building a backwater pond to provide a slow-water refuge for juvenile salmon and steelhead. On a guided walk with Burke, a large group passed huge stacks of slash on the left and plant compost on the right before walking on an old “super highway” logging road. That road will even tually be restored and become part of the Coastal Trail.

Burke first stopped by the rough begin nings of the Centennial Trailhead that will connect with the Lady Bird Johnson loop trail. We then passed by a former small reservoir area that was historically used as water supply for on-site housing and paused to look over a massive, oddly shaped oldgrowth redwood tree — left unlogged due to its poor lumber potential. We next turned downhill onto the floodplain next to Prairie Creek and found ourselves looking over a large fenced-in area that had been cleared of invasive plant species, covered in matting and replanted with native plants, as well as a recently dug-out backchannel and pond that connected to Prairie Creek.

When Burke was asked what was being

Mary Burke, program manager for the North Coast Region of California Trout, pointed out project goals of creating 800 feet of a new channel for moving Prairie Creek away from U.S. Highway 101, restoring 18 acres of riparian and wetland floodplains and building a backwater pond to provide a slow-water refuge for juvenile salmon and steelhead.

fenced in — or out — she laughed and said the intent was to keep the elk out to pre vent them grazing on the new native plant seedlings. But the elk had quickly found their way into the area through an unfenced gap next to the creek. The fence, with its oneway exit gate for the roaming elk, will soon be removed.

We headed back to the free lunch, fishshaped cookies and drinks and checked out the park service stream erosion display and the massive drone used by the Yurok Tribe Fisheries Design Construction Program. Before leaving the site, we wandered around looking at the restoration work done by the Yurok Tribe Construction Corporation on the acres and acres of what used to be asphalt and concrete.

As we left, volunteers and staffers invited us to return in 2026 to see the finished proj ect, after which Save the Redwoods League will transfer the property to be managed by the Redwood National and State Park Services. l

Fate of Indian Child Welfare Before the Supreme Court

By Nancy Marie Spears/The Imprint newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

Most child welfare cases wrestle over issues of best interest and well-being. But when the U.S. Supreme Court hears an upcoming legal challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act this week, three central constitutional questions will be in play. The questions challenge core aspects of Congressional power and the relationship between tribes and the U.S. government:

• Do e orts to keep Native American children connected to their families and tribes violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection rights of non-Native adoptive parents?

• Is the U.S. government “commandeering” states — a violation of the 10th Amendment — by requiring them to enforce ICWA, a federal law?

• Does Congress have the right to be involved in local child welfare matters, under a key clause of the Indian Commerce Act?

Texas and several other states — along with three white couples who sought to adopt Native children — say ICWA violates the above rights and protections. Plainti s in the Brackeen v. Haaland case assert that the 1978 law poses “heightened legal barriers” to adoptions of Native children.

Defenders of ICWA include 497 tribes, 24 states and Washington, D.C. They maintain that requiring social service agencies to take extra measures before Native children are removed from their tribes and kin — ICWA’s core component

Whether

If

— is part of the unique treaty relation ship between the U.S. government and tribal nations.

Angelique W. EagleWoman, director of the Native American Law and Sover eignty Institute at Minnesota’s Mitchell Hamline School of Law, said ICWA protections aren’t harming Indigenous children, rather, they are harmed by non compliance with the federal law.

“Where we don’t see collaboration and compliance, we often see a trail of addiction, identity loss, and psycho logical harm for those children who are adopted out,” she said.

EagleWoman, a citizen of the Sisseton Wahpeton (Dakota) Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation who has Rosebud Lakota heritage, added: “You would hope that judges and legislators would care about every child and understand that a healthy tribal child has their connection and their sense of self from a tribal home.”

Possible pathways for ICWA

There are several possible outcomes for the Brackeen case that legal experts point to.

The law could be upheld as consti tutional, with the five justices agreeing it is “a perfectly reasonable exercise of congressional power,” federal Indian law scholar Kate Fort told The Imprint.

Another option is that portions of the law will be upheld, and others struck down. ICWA requires, for example, that “active” rather than “reasonable” efforts be made to provide rehabilitative services to parents accused of maltreat ment, extra steps to mitigate problems at home so children can be returned from foster care. It also requires that tribes be offered jurisdiction in cases involving Native children, and that rela tives and tribal citizens are considered preferred placements for foster children.

There is yet another possible out come: The entire law could be struck down. That prospect is deeply unnerving to tribal leaders and countless child wel fare officials, mainly in the majority of states that do not have ICWA-like local statutes in place.

Fort said a ruling that concluded ICWA violated equal protection laws would have “the most far-reaching con sequences” — causing a “radical” and “fundamental reordering” of the federal government’s relationships to tribes. If ICWA is overturned, she added, it could impact everything from tribes’ criminal justice jurisdiction to the federal-tribal relationship.

Conversely, if the justices conclude ICWA violates “anti-commandeering

laws,” there could be broad impacts on everything from federal funding for foster care to priority placements with relatives.

“The court accepted seven ques tions for review,” Fort said, “so there’s a distinct possibility that the opinion will be long and confusing,” as in an earlier ruling in the Brackeen case out of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Battle over ICWA

The Indian Child Welfare Act was authorized by Congress and signed into law in 1978 to counter centuries of forced assimilation into government-run Indian boarding schools, and the harmful impact of adoptions into white homes. According to the Oregon-based Na tional Indian Child Welfare Association, when ICWA became law, up to a third of Native American children were placed into foster care or adoptive homes. Of those children, the association re ports, 85 percent were sent to live away from their families and tribal communi ties, “even when fit and willing relatives were available.”

Indigenous children remain the most disproportionately impacted by foster care removals. Nationally, they are three times more likely than non-Native chil dren to be removed from their families.

To fortify the law’s intent, tribal lead ers are preparing contingency plans for the aftermath of the Brackeen decision, which could arrive as late as June of 2023. They are calling for shored-up state and local laws and strengthened tribal courts.

“At its core, the law is simple,” Oneida Nation Chair Tehassi Hill said in a press conference last month. He noted that the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association are among the many groups that filed amicus briefs with the Supreme Court recommending the upholding of ICWA, “and warning of the harm that the loss of ICWA would bring.” He called the law “wildly successful.”

“Tribes, child welfare experts and medical experts — those who know the law and the needs of children best — overwhelmingly oppose the efforts to overturn ICWA,” he said.

Briefs filed in support of the plain tiffs in the case involving the Brackeens, a white evangelical couple from Fort Worth, Texas, represent an array of inter ests. From high-powered law firms taking aim at tribal sovereignty over land, water and gaming rights, to a group called the Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare, the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys, and

the National Council for Adoption.

In its amicus brief, the Christian Alli ance described ICWA as “discriminatory and destructive.”

The group describes itself as “a Christian ministry and family advocacy” organization that champions the “safety and welfare of children and families affected by federal Indian policy.” Chair Elizabeth Morris founded the Alliance in 2004 with her late husband, a Minnesota Chippewa tribal citizen.

Morris said in an email that ICWA “imposes a rule that Indian heritage trumps other considerations in custo dy proceedings for Indian children. In reality, this means that an Indian child receives less consideration and worse treatment in custody proceedings — and Indian children are regularly placed in dangerous or unstable custody situa tions — simply because of their blood and heritage.”

The adoption advocates stated that “ICWA impermissibly subjugates Indian children’s best interests to that of tribal security and infringes upon the fun damental constitutional rights of the children’s parents to make parenting decisions in the best interests of their children and themselves.”

Variety of states supporting or opposing ICWA

No matter the outcome of the Brackeen case, in the 10 states that have passed their own versions of the fed eral ICWA, including California, Native families’ rights would remain protected. Other states are working on similar protections.

Minnesota’s EagleWoman sees hope in those local laws.

“When we see states passing com panion legislation to the Indian Child Welfare Act, that’s where we’re seeing collaboration,” she said. “That’s where we’re seeing lawmakers who begin to understand the importance of a child having their culture, their language and their identity through their placement in a tribal home.”

Federal policies in the U.S. have his torically disrupted the way Indigenous people raise their children, EagleWoman noted, and success in the Brackeen case would further that disruption.

“We hand down our knowledge, our gifts, our land and our ways of life to our children,” she said. “Without our chil dren, our people cannot continue on.”

Cervantes Holds Slim Lead, Bongio and Watson Voted Out

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

With city council seats open in Ferndale and Trinidad and everywhere between, Humboldt County voters hit the polls Tuesday, seem ingly in relatively modest numbers, and much like the national results, there didn’t seem to be any decisive waves to speak of.

When the Humboldt County Elections Office released its final Election Night report, it included 16,998 ballots — accounting for about 20 percent of registered voters. That number surely leaves thousands of votes uncounted, as it doesn’t include scores of vote-by-mail ballots dropped off on and just before Election Day, or provisional ballots cast at the polls. But it’s almost 13,000 fewer ballots than were counted on Election Night in November of 2018.

The large number of uncounted ballots will likely leave some races teetering in the balance for days and weeks to come. This seems especially true in Eureka and the race to become Humboldt County’s next clerk/recorder/registrar of voters.

In Eureka’s Ward 3, repeat candidate and local accountant John Fullerton and local union representative and Humboldt County Central Democratic Committee Chair Mario Fernan dez are vying to fill the seat soon to be vacated by Fourth District Humboldt County Supervisor elect Natalie Ar royo. Fernandez jumped out to a slim lead with the night’s

first report, taking 51 percent of the 355 votes counted to Fullerton’s 49 percent. But by night’s end, Fullerton had pulled ahead by 33 votes, taking 52 percent of the ballots counted thus far. Fullerton’s lead is significant, but recent years’ trends tell us the ballots counted after election night skew closer to the numbers from the first returns, meaning Fernandez still has a chance to close the gap. Over in Ward 5, where local business owner Nicholas Kohl and community volunteer Renee Contreras-DeLoach were running to fill the shoes of soon-to-be Mayor Kim Bergel, the race was even closer, with Contreras-DeLoach finishing the night with a 15-vote lead, having taken 52 percent of the ballots counted thus far. Both races remain too close to call.

As to the clerk/recorder/registrar race, Elections Manager Juan Pablo Cervantes finished the night with a razor thin 185-vote lead over senior recordable document examiner Tiffany Hunt Nielsen, with more than 14,700 votes counted thus far. Cervantes took 53 percent of the first Election Night return, so history tells us his lead will likely hold, but the race also remains far too close to call.

Up in Arcata, where a field of six were vying for two fouryear terms on the council during a time of major transition for the city, incumbent Meredith Matthews and Planning Commissioner Kimberly White won easily, taking 32 percent and 30 percent of the vote, respectively. The race spells the

Finally, over in the Humboldt Community Services District, voters ousted long-time Director Alan Bongio amid an ongoing controversy sparked in his role as a Humboldt County planning commissioner. With two seats up in the election, Bongio, a 24-year incumbent, finished with 28 percent of the vote, trailing fellow incumbent Gregg Gardiner and challenger Julie M. Ryan, who finished with 40 percent and 33 percent of the vote, respectively. Bongio’s loss comes three months after he drew widespread criticism for comments made while acting as chair of the Humboldt County Planning Commission that fellow commissioners and others described as “biased” against and “racist” toward local Native residents.

Last year’s annual global climate conference in Glasgow ended with a Hail Mary promise to cut methane emissions fast enough to avoid up to a half-degree Celsius of planetary warming in the next few decades. That could be just enough to avoid some of the most dangerous climate tipping points. But with COP27, this year’s round of talks, just weeks away, a new report shows how hard it will be to deliver on the nonbinding Global Methane Pledge to cut emissions of the gas 30 percent by 2030.

The World Meteorological Organization’s Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, released Oct. 26, shows that concentrations of the potent but short-lived climate pollutant jumped faster in 2021 than in any year since measurements started in the mid1980s. The other main greenhouse gases,

‘Time is Running Out’

By Bob Berwyn/Inside Climate News newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, reached record concentrations in the atmosphere, surging toward levels that will warm the Earth well past the 1.5 degree temperature limit set by the Paris Agreement in 2015.

So far, the average global temperature has warmed about 1.1 degrees Celsius (4°F) compared to the pre-industrial baseline. But warming over land areas is about double that, leading to recent, unprecedented months-long hemispheric heat waves. The warming is even greater over mountain areas and in the Arctic, where it melts ice that raises sea levels. The seven years since the Paris Agreement were the planet’s warmest years on record.

For delegates starting to gather for COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Nov. 6 through 18, the new bulletin is one of many warning signs that “we are still heading in the wrong direction,” said WMO Secretary-General Professor Petteri Taalas. The needed fundamental transformations of industrial, energy and transportation systems are technically feasible and economically a ordable, but, he said, “time is running out.”

With every tenth of a degree and every

year increasingly critical in the race to try and break the planet’s fever, the quick slowdown of methane emissions the pledge would bring made for a good news headline. The gas causes upwards of 80 times more warming than carbon dioxide for about 20 years, so the methane cuts were billed as a way to buy some time for reducing carbon dioxide, which causes nearly all the long-term heating.

But methane’s climate impacts are reversible over the course of a few decades, while carbon dioxide’s are not, so the COP delegates need to stay focused on cutting CO2 emissions, Taalas said, because they “are the main driver of climate change and associated extreme weather. They will a ect the climate for thousands of years through polar ice loss, ocean warming and sea level rise.”

A volley of warnings but little reaction

The WMO bulletin was just one of several scientific warning shots fired in the lead-up to COP27, with a series of related international reports all telling similar

stories.

An updated UNFCCC analysis, released Oct. 26, of all 193 climate pledges made as part of the Paris Agreement shows the world is on a path to warm about 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5°F) by 2100. That level of warming could lead to climate “end-game scenarios” that scientists recently examined, including risks of the global web of life unraveling and civilizations collapsing.

Since COP26 last year, only a “disappointing” 24 countries have updated their pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is “nowhere near the scale and pace of emission reductions required to put us on track toward a 1.5 degrees Celsius world,” said Simon Stiell, executive secretary of U.N. Climate Change Secretariat.

The United Nations Environment Programme’s Emissions Gap Report released Oct. 28 also shows how the main goal of the Paris agreement is still a distant dream. Without further strengthening, current policies will warm the planet by as much 2.8 degrees Celsius (5°F) by 2100. But new pledges made since COP26 a year ago shave only about a half gigaton of carbon

As COP27 approaches, gaps between climate promises and emissions are growing with potentially catastrophic consequences

A recently released analysis of the 193 climate pledges made as a part of the Paris Agreements shows the world is on path to warm about 2.5 degrees Celsius by 2100, which could lead to climate end-game scenarios, as well as widespread sea level rise.

The report also estimates the cost of a global transformation to a low-carbon economy at $4 trillion to $6 trillion a year, about 1.5 percent of total global annual budgets.

The information should help sharpen the negotiators’ focus on the COP27 goal of implementing the Paris Agreement, said conference President-designate and Egyptian Minister of Foreign A airs Sameh Shoukry. Reaching the Paris goal would require cutting global greenhouse gas emissions 43 percent by 2030, but the new report shows that, instead, emissions are on a path to increase 10.3 percent by then.

Somehow, the talks in Egypt need to close that gap, Shoukry said.

“Several of those who are expected to do more, are far from doing enough, and the consequences of this is a ecting lives and livelihoods across the globe,” he said, diplomatically pointing out developed countries that have most polluted the climate need to do the most to clean up the mess. He called for a “transformative response at COP27.”

Few aware of critical negotiations

It’s di cult to track all the climate reports that come out in the weeks before the annual U.N. climate talks, and to decipher the jumbles of technocratic jargon used by the thousands of people involved in the negotiations each year who say “climate mitigation” when they talk about greenhouse gas reduction plans; “adaptation” when they discuss finding ways to endure the impacts of warming; and “loss and damage” to describe global warming’s increasing cost in human lives and homes and crops destroyed.

But much of the public not only doesn’t understand the deluge of climate jargon, but isn’t even aware of the conference that’s prompted the floodgates to open. Since the Paris Agreement was signed, war, pandemic, famine, mass migration, economic upheaval and social and ideological polarization have emerged on a scale that has overshadowed climate concerns.

“I’d bet a large box of donuts that the great majority of Americans do not know what the COPs are, let alone COP27,” said Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, which regularly surveys public opinions about climate. “When we’ve asked questions about support for the Paris agreement or related topics, we always provide a short description so respon-

dents know what we’re talking about.”

This year’s conference is the first to be held in Africa and to focus on the concerns of the most equatorial of continents, where the rising heat is harming millions of people in already hot regions. The talks are in a remote Egyptian resort town near the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, part of a larger region fraught with political, social and cultural tensions.

In the Red Sea surrounding the resort, the 30,000 conference attendees can see for themselves how warming is killing even some of the planet’s most heat-tolerant coral reefs. And they’ll be able to watch oil tankers sailing out of the Gulf of Aqaba, carrying the fuel that churns out the emissions driving the warming, part of an industry that’s still supported by billions of dollars of government subsidies and guarded by equally expensive military fleets.

Voices for action fear being silenced

Climate and civil rights activists worry that Egypt’s authoritarian government will limit their participation in the conference, limiting the civic engagement that has been critical in pressuring governments to live up to their Paris promises. In a statement in early October, a panel of five United Nations human rights experts said, “Arrests and detention, NGO asset freezes, dissolutions and travel restrictions have created a climate of fear for Egyptian civil society to engage visibly at COP27.”

Most recently, sponsorship of the talks by Coca Cola — the world’s largest plastic polluter and a company denounced for a long list of environmental and human rights violations — and the involvement of a public relations firm known for greenwashing have intensified criticisms that the U.N. climate process is compromised by excess influence from the very industries that are most central to the problem. Last year, BBC reported that the fossil fuel industry had the largest delegation at COP26 in Glasgow, with more than 100 companies attending.

A consortium of watchdog groups analyzed the industry’s presence and found that fossil fuel lobbyists outnumbered the UNFCCC’s o cial Indigenous constituency by around two to one and was larger than the combined total of the delegations from Puerto Rico, Myanmar, Haiti, the Philippines, Mozambique, the Bahamas, Bangladesh and Pakistan, all of which have been lashed by climate extremes linked with global warming in the last 20 years.

But the most insidious obstacle to meaningful climate action may be the onContinued on next page »

going e orts by fossil fuel interests to subvert the science and discredit processes that are fundamental to e ective climate policies, said University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann. Those e orts seem to ramp up just before major climate summits, or any significant climate moments, he said.

“Right now, we’ve got both a critical mid-term election that will determine the course of American democracy and climate action, and the upcoming COP27,” he said. “A perfect storm, and predictably, the climate change disinformation campaign is ramping up steadily as we approach these events.”

The fossil fuel industry is allied with state actors like Russia and Saudi Arabia, which “played critical roles in the climate disinformation campaign, particularly in the way they’ve weaponized social media,” he added. “The agenda is the same, of course: continued fossil fuel profits.”

Now that the impacts of climate change can no longer be denied, he added, the arguments shift toward deflection, distraction and division, with the goal of delaying meaningful action.

But despite the flood of legitimate science and clouds of propaganda, it’s important for the public to understand that the decisions made at COP27 and subsequent conference in the next few years will determine how hot the world becomes, how much more polar ice will melt to raise sea levels and how intense future droughts, floods and famines will be, said Robert Rohde, lead scientist for Berkeley Earth, which tracks and analyzes global climate data.

“I think it’s probably asking a bit much of the man on the street to care about the

international climate negotiations structures,” Rohde said. “I think I want them to care about keeping emissions down and making progress.”

“There’s a lot of variation between COP meetings, in terms of how impactful and important they actually are,” he said. “You have ones where huge global agreements are finalized, such as Paris or Kyoto. And then you have a lot of meetings where you don’t have the big international headline event. I expect that COP27 is going to be more of the latter.”

Even in Europe, where public awareness of climate issues is higher than in the U.S., most people probably won’t follow the details of the COP27 talks, said Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research.

“These are, after all, quite technical negotiations,” he said. “Some COP meetings, like the Paris COP21 in 2015, are globally pivotal, as it was the moment when we shifted from one climate regime, the Kyoto Protocol, to another regime. But not all COP meetings are such moments.”

“I would have wished though, that media gave even more attention to the climate COPs,” he said, “and reported even more on climate policy in between COP meetings.” ●

Apples Center Stage

In a beautiful crostata

By Simona Carini onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

Cycling around the lush Slovenian countryside in late Septem ber and early October, I saw well-tended gardens everywhere. In them, the last tomatoes of the season were ripening, while cabbages and leeks appeared ready to be harvested. Fall flowers around the edges provided a colorful note. The branches of apple trees were laden with different varieties. I wish the gardeners sold their surplus. I pur chased yogurt and cheese from vending machines installed outside farms, but found no way to buy apples directly from growers.

Language being a barrier, I didn’t feel comfortable asking the occasional gar dener I saw — intent on uprooting bean poles and cleaning up spent summer crops

— whether they would sell some of their bounty. Being on the move and with lim ited cooking capabilities, I could not have done much with the apples beyond eating them raw. Still, I could dream about being one of those gardeners with a bumper crop to use up.

Apples from Humboldt’s new crop were available before I traveled to Europe and I had already started my tradition of roasting less than perfect ones to make apple sauce, a recipe I shared in this paper some time ago (“Baking Beauties,” Oct. 23, 2014). With Thanksgiving and then the December holidays fast approaching, it’s a good time to talk about apples in an elegant dessert.

In Italy, crostata is a popular dessert

there, thanks to its versatility. I can make it any time of year with fruit preserves, fruit, pastry cream or a combination thereof. The base or shell of crostata is made of pasta frolla (or pastafrolla), a dough of flour (I use more than one kind of flour), sugar, butter and egg. Besides crust, pasta frolla can be used to make cookies called frollini

The most traditional crostata is filled with jam and decorated with a lattice of dough. For this recipe, I use the mandoline to thinly slice the apples and spread them to create a lovely surface effect. I en courage you to look for and try different varieties of apples. Ask the grower which ones they recommend for baking and feel free to experiment to find your favorite.

Apple Tart or Crostata di Mele

The crostata is best eaten the same day it is prepared. Choose apples that are sweet and crisp, and use a preserve that goes well with them, like plum. Use left over pasta frolla to make cookies and bake them along with the tart for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Serves 10-12.

Ingredients

For the pasta frolla:

1/3 cup ultrafine sugar (baker’s sugar) or ½ cup powdered sugar ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour ½ cup whole-wheat pastry flour ¼ cup almond flour or almond meal ¼ cup whole-grain barley flour or un bleached all-purpose flour 1 pinch of salt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 large egg, lightly whisked ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling: 1 cup good quality, low-sugar fruit pre serves 10 ounces apples

First, prepare the pasta frolla. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the sugar, flours and salt a few times to mix. Add butter and pulse several times for 3 seconds until the mix resembles coarse meal. (If you don’t have a food processor: Whisk together sugar, flours and salt in a bowl. Cut or rub the butter into the sugar and flour mixture with your fingers until it has the consistency of coarse crumbs. Do this in the bowl or on your work surface, using your fingertips, a fork or a pastry blender.)

Transfer the mix onto your work sur face in a mound. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and pour the egg and va nilla extract into it. Start mixing with a fork to incorporate the liquid into the solid

ingredients, then finish with your fingers. Knead the dough lightly just until it comes together in a ball. Flour your hands with all-purpose flour as needed to prevent excessive sticking. Shape the dough into a flat 1-inch-thick disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Once the dough is chilled, form the shell. Use a fluted, round 9- to 9 ½-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Un wrap the chilled pasta frolla. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour. Dust your rolling surface with flour, too — parch ment paper or the plastic film in which the dough was wrapped work well to roll on. Start by pressing the pasta frolla with the rolling pin, inching from the middle outward; turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat. When it softens, start rolling it gently and continue until you obtain a circle about 1/8-inch thick.

If you used parchment paper or plastic wrap as rolling surface, flip the pasta frolla over the tart pan, centering it. Gently press it into the pan, covering all corners. Peel away the wrap.

Trim the excess dough hanging over the edges of the pan and use it to fill any gaps. Press around the edges into the sides of the pan making sure it’s an even thickness all the way around. Prick the shell with a fork in several places. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Heat the oven to 350 F.

Assemble the crostata. Rinse the ap ples well, cut them into quarters and core them. Slice them thinly crosswise using the thinnest setting of a mandoline (1/16 inch).

Remove the unbaked tart shell from the fridge. Using a spatula, spread the fruit preserves in an even layer on the bottom of the tart shell. Fan out the apple slices over the fruit preserves to make a beauti ful, even layer.

Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 F, until the edge of the tart is just golden. Make sure the apples don’t burn at the edges. (If that seems about to happen, cover the tart loosely with foil and continue baking.)

Remove the crostata from the oven and let it cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Release the base of the tart pan from the fluted ring.

Let the crostata cool another 10 min utes on the rack, then use a wide spatula to slide it onto a serving plate to cool completely. Slice carefully and serve. l

Bears in the Bins

By Sarah Hobart getout@northcoastjournal.com

One of the great things about Humboldt County is living close to nature. It’s always a thrill to see raccoons, deer, foxes, even an occasional bobcat around the neighborhood. In fact, I just looked out my window and a saw a black bear — jumping up and down on my trash can.

Bear with me while I start at the begin ning. About six months ago, my neighbors and I discovered a mysterious marauder had tipped over our garbage bins during the night, strewing the contents far and wide. A few days later, it happened again. A calling card left in the street suggested a large omnivore, not that I looked very closely.

After grumbling my way through another cleanup, I did what any sensible person would do: I consulted Google. The top-ranked solution was to soak a rag in ammonia and hang it from the handle of the bin, the idea being that the strong odor was “unbearable” to ursas and they would give the can a wide berth. I put the plan into action without delay. The following morning the cleanup was

even worse than usual. So, I went with the second-ranked solution: a combination of lights and sound. I passed this wisdom on to my neighbors, whose dustpans were getting as much of a workout as mine. That night the tranquility of the evening was shattered by the shriek of an air horn and one of my neighbors shouting, “Get out of here, you #%@&# bear!” I peered through the window in time to see a large dark posterior disappear into the green belt. Success, however, was short-lived.

I like bears. They’re curious, clever animals that struggle to survive in habitat that’s constantly shrinking, not to mention drying up. They’re fun to watch and I don’t begrudge them visiting my yard. But since I don’t have a garage where I can secure my trash, the cans are basically a buffet waiting to happen.

At my wits’ end, I typed “bear-proof bin” into the search bar and a few links popped up. Most of the products were ridiculously expensive, manufactured and priced for city and state governments. But one caught my eye — a chunky steel-rein forced can with a locking lid, rated

“grizzly-tested” by whatever agency tests these things. It wasn’t cheap, but I could order it through my local hardware store and they’d deliver it for free right to my door.

When my new bin arrived, I dropped in a particularly odorous bag of trash and waited to see what would happen. Around 10 p.m. there was a crash, followed by thumping sounds. That’s when I looked out to see the bear jumping on the bin. When that didn’t work it clawed and chewed at the lid, then dragged the can halfway across the driveway. But the lock held, and the next morning there was no trash to clean up.

On day two, the bear visited again. In the morning I found the bin upside-down, resting on its lid. But it was still secure.

It’s not a perfect solution, but accord ing to Shawn Fresz, Senior Environmental Scientist Supervisor with the local Califor nia Fish and Wildlife Department, locking bins can be an effective measure, espe cially if there’s no garage or shed where trash can be secured. Fresz said eliminating attractants — like garbage, pet food and bird seed — is the key to reducing nega tive interactions with curious black bears.

“People need to do the right thing by their property to keep people safe and wildlife wild,” Fresz said.

With their keen sense of smell, bears can even be drawn to barbecues, Fresz said, so those should also be stored se curely. Chicken coops and other livestock enclosures can be protected with electric fencing. The department has a designated wildlife conflict manager, as well as useful tips and links on their website under the heading “Living with Wildlife.” The site de scribes black bears as intelligent, adaptable and an important part of the ecosystem.

So on my street we’re doing what we can to make our properties less tempting to bears. The neighborhood is getting vis ited less often, though there are still a few mornings where my dog and I learn more about what our neighbors had for dinner than we really want to know (burritos appear to be a popular choice).

For the most part, the “bear-proof” bin is holding strong. A few days ago, though, it was tipped over and somehow the bag inside ended up outside. I suspect human error was to blame. But as I was sweeping up, I noticed the big yellow sticker on the lid with clear instructions on disengaging the lock.

I’m a little worried the bears have learned how to read. l

Storms Kick Off Coastal King Season

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

The season’s first big storms hit the North Coast over the week end and the Smith and Chetco both kicked out good numbers of kings. Both rivers have been loaded with kings in their lower sections for quite some time, and when the rivers finally rose, they were on the move. On Saturday, the Smith turned muddy, forcing anglers to wait another day. When Sunday rolled around, conditions were much improved and the fishing was wide-open. Most drift boats put up double-digit scores, though most of the fish were dark.

Conditions were similar up north on the Chetco. Saturday’s fishing was tough due to conditions but improved dramat ically Sunday. Conditions were excellent on both rivers Monday and Tuesday and the fishing was good with some nice chrome fish hitting the net. With no rain in the forecast for at least the next seven days, fishing is going to get a lot tougher. The Smith is forecast to drop below the threshold of 600 cubic feet per second sometime Wednesday and will likely close to fishing Thursday. The Chetco will remain open, but fishing with a bobber remains in effect through Nov. 15 from river mile 2.2 to Nook Creek.

As of Tuesday, all North Coast rivers subjected to low-flow fishing closures except the South Fork Eel and Van Duzen were open to fishing. Rivers open to fish ing include the Smith, main stem Eel, Mad and Redwood Creek.

All are expected to drop this week due to dry conditions, but some could remain open to fishing. Be sure and call the lowflow closure hotline at (707) 822-3164 to determine if the river is open prior to fishing. California Department of Fish and Wildlife will announce whether rivers will be open by a telephone recorded message each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Riv ers will not automatically open to fishing once minimum flows are reached.

Mad River

Flowing at 328 cfs as of Tuesday after

noon and rising slight ly. Minimum flows are 200 cfs at the gauging station at the State Route 299 bridge.

Main Eel

Running at 560 cfs as of Tuesday and predicted to reach 1,330 cfs by Wednesday evening. Minimum flows are 350 cfs on the Scotia gauge to lift angling restrictions.

Van Duzen

Was peaking at just over 200 cfs on Tuesday afternoon and remained closed to fishing. Predicted to be below 50 cfs later in the week. Minimum flows are 150 cfs at the gauging station near Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park to lift angling restrictions.

South Fork Eel

Flows were at 235 cfs Tuesday after noon and rising, but remained closed to fishing. Predicted to peak at 300 cfs Wednesday morning. Minimum flows are 340 cfs at Miranda to lift angling restric tions.

Smith

Fishing has been good on the Smith the last few days. Boats fishing sections from the forks all the way to the Outfitters have been boating plenty of big kings, as well as jacks. The majority of the fish are dark, but there are some fresh fish being caught. Most of the fish are coming on sardine-wrapped Kwikfish. Flows were down to 1,500 cfs by Tuesday, but were still fishing well. With no immediate rain in the forecast, it’s predicted to dip below 600 cfs by Wednesday mid-morning. Min imum flows are 600 cfs at Jedediah Smith State Park to enact angling restrictions.

Chetco/Elk/Sixes

The Chetco has been fishing decent for fall kings, with bright fish spread through

out the river, reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Leaves made fishing tough on Saturday, but action improved as the river dropped Sunday,” said Martin. “Muddy water from Sunday night’s rain cleared quickly Monday, giving way to a fairly good bite. Flows will drop and clear as the week goes on. The Elk fished well on Monday, while the Sixes was still high and muddy. Both rivers will be in play this week. Salmon season is over on the Rogue, with winter steelhead still more than a month away. The Coos and Umpqua also are slow.”

Sport crabbing update

The sport Dungeness crab season opened Saturday, but the weather failed to cooperate. Boats didn’t make it off shore out of Eureka due to large swells, but a few were able to get out of Trinidad and Crescent City. Reportedly, if you made it out and were able to drop your nets or rings, you were rewarded with limits of nice size crabs. Humboldt Bay, which is typically a good Plan B, was reportedly slow for the handful of boats that braved the weather. Offshore conditions will improve by Thursday, and we’ll likely see some good scores as both charters and sport boats will be able to drop their gear.

Trevor P. HHH

Pretty disappointed by the lack of grim music, furtive shuffling and tense voice overs I was expecting after watching that voter fraud documentary my uncle sent me. It’s not that I necessarily believe the last election was rigged but, like, could it have been? If Ancient Aliens marathons have taught me anything, it’s that if you can dream it, you can proceed as if it’s true and just let your hair get wilder and wilder.

Rob V. HHHHH

Exercising my right to vote as a citizen of the greatest country in the world is always a beautiful moment for me, a moment of solidarity with fellow Amer icans, especially the men and women in uniform who’ve fought to preserve our freedoms. Sometimes it overwhelms me with a patriotism I can only express with a treasonous Confederate flag or the sideways stars and stripes with a freaky skull on it. Anyway, if those returns come up snake eyes for the GOP again, I’m defi nitely going to the Capitol to kill a cop.

Birdie R. HH

Two stars because while I did get to vote in an election impacting my actual human rights, the lighting was the most brutal I’ve suffered since high school gym. WTF. A few standing lamps would not kill anybody. I also miss the curtains.

Tony J. HHHHH

Very good experience, efficient vol unteer staff and clear instructions. Does anyone know when the next elimination round is? Because I’ve never voted on anything that didn’t involve ballroom dancing on TV. That, by the way, is way simpler and there aren’t armed dudes in tactical gear and guns sitting on a tailgate down the block.

Tanya I. HHHHH

I’ve been pretty anxious about the

midterms since the last midterms. And after months of news coverage, dire fundraising emails and watching legal pro tections for bodily autonomy disappear like the dry pita chips I was stress eating, I was a raw nerve. But the volunteers spoke very softly to me when I acci dentally punctured my ballot with the pen, and filling in those tiny rectangles was extremely soothing. If anyone has a sample ballot they can spare, I could use another couple pages. SAT bubble sheets, whatever you’ve got.

Leonard L. HHHH

I never cared about the midterms before. In fact, I used to give them about as much thought as women’s sports before trans athletes. But now I get that it’s important to take every opportunity to empower those who share our values to get up in everyone else’s reproductive organs so I can be sure whose leotard I’m watching ride up when I flip past gym nastics because I believe in fairness and having everyone’s genitals inspected by a stranger so nothing pervy is going on. Would like future ballots to include pho tos of every candidate’s actual junk.

Derek K. H

This felt like a lot of reading about a bunch of people I hadn’t heard of. Did not think there would be this many ques tions, either. All needs to be streamlined, like maybe down to one or two options, top-down leaders who get into the granular stuff later without our having to weigh in. Or maybe less often? Like, one person runs the country and when they die, their first born takes over and so on. Or else just indicate which candidates support me using racial slurs without consequence.

Van S. HHH

First-time voter. It was fine. Tiny voting cubby kind of made me want to peek at my neighbor’s ballot. Weird.

Alan T. HHHH

Parking was ridiculous. When we finally found a spot at our court-mandated dis tance, it seemed too far away to properly menace people who might be planning to drag giant plastic tubs of fake ballots signed by illegal and/or extraterrestrial aliens into the community center. Not too many people came by and, from that far away, it was hard to tell who was out to steal the election and install a cabal of pedophiles. Also, it was pretty cold and, while the MREs lent a certain authentici ty, a warm burrito would have been nice. Did not actually get around to voting but I definitely felt heard.

Tina D. HHHH

Great experience. Everyone gathered in the spirit of civic engagement and connection to our forefathers — obvi ously not the ones with slaves or who did anything else awful, just a sort of vague faces like the ones on worn down coins with tastefully ribboned ponytails. Who never intended for me to have the right to vote. Anyway, it was satisfying to be heard as a citizen as much as my vote matters in my hopelessly gerryman dered district. Still, it’s a great American tradition. And now I’m going to go home and get absolutely hammered so I can black out until the final count comes in instead of watching the numbers climb along with our chances of waking up in an autocracy. Cheers!

Lifespan of a Fact Hashes it Out

By Doranna Benker Gilkey frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

Does a fact have a beginning, middle and end, or is it static and unliving? Perhaps its exis tence is immutable, but what of its pertinence or purpose? Do facts serve truth, or is it the other way around? And where does story fit in this philosophical quagmire? Do the answers impact our daily lives? These are the questions posed and argued in Redwood Curtain Theatre’s production of Lifespan of a Fact by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, and directed here by David Hamilton. It’s based on the book by the same name written by two of the characters in the play, John D’Agata and Jim Fingal. Both book and play are centered on an essay written by D’Agata in 2003 about the suicide of a teenage boy in Las Vegas, and the important distinctions between truth and fact that the essay unintention ally brings forth. Each character presents their own answers with accessible dialogue and compelling action.

Emily Penrose, editor of a prestigious but struggling magazine, is played with purpose (and deadline-) driven energy by Christina Jioras. Penrose’s goal is clear from the outset but Jioras plays the evolution of what she’s willing to do to reach it with a great deal of nuance. D’Agata, to whom Tony Cogliati gives the very embodiment of surly, quixotic, self-satisfied essayist, is at first utterly unmoved by pleas for journalistic standards. He disregards the importance of pesky facts the pesky in tern keeps going on about. Between these two is our nervous, eager to please yet reluctant to compromise intern Jim Fingal, played with great physicality and frenetic energy by Jordan Dobbins. It would seem at first that everyone shares the same goal: to publish a transcendent essay. But Fin gals’ uncompromising, even pedantic view of how facts should be portrayed in the

essay crashes against D’Ag ata’s equally uncompro mising de fense of his artistic right to use “facts” as he sees fit in pursuit of crafting his essay.

Penrose, a savvy editor, thinks she knows what compromises need to be made but her certainty is tested as she manages the two men. The three char acters interact with as much humor as argument and, for all they differ, they are very relatable.

Redwood Curtain’s intimate theater is a fitting venue for a play that asks its char acters and the audience to dig deeply into personal and moral questions. The prox imity to the stage makes it feel larger, and scenic designer Laura Rhinehart takes full advantage by setting the initially conflict ing characters on opposite sides. Penrose’s office is juxtaposed with the D’Agata’s home, with intern Fingal drawing the audience back and forth between the two forces of literary nature; a tennis match of personalities and priorities with the outcome putting everybody’s job on the line. There is also a middle ground used both literally and figuratively to give the characters a third place to rest or work. These little lulls are welcome respites from the intense conflicts. As the story and underlying arguments progress, there are smooth, natural shifts between who is in opposition and who serves as the fulcrum in the moment.

Redwood Curtain’s stage has very

little structure to work with, so lighting designer Michael Burkhart skillfully uses area lighting and darkness to help obscure on-stage transitions and spots to empha size the action. Sound effects for rings, notifications and other minutiae we rely on to interact with technology are timed excellently, if a little overwhelming in the small space. The pre-recorded voiceovers are likewise used well, though some might find the volume a bit disconcerting. (That’s me. I’m some.) Otherwise, Tammy Rae Scott has designed the sound to give ur gency where needed. I especially like the way the sound effects build frustration and tension between Penrose and Fingal when the harried intern is trying to get some direction from the pressured editor. The emphasis on Penrose’s multi-tasking with multiple devices is also a great foil to D’Agata’s single, solid, brick-like black phone and simple laptop. That old style push-button phone is a great insight to how open D’Agata is to change.

The Curtain Hits the Cast

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Iwoke up on Sunday thinking about writing about the upcoming election, maybe some piece where I ramp up the direness of the results to see if I am actually a modern-day Cassandra or just another crank (probably). Instead, I was greeted by the news that Mimi Parker, one half of my favorite band, had succumbed to ovarian cancer. The band is Low and I have been a huge fan since I first saw them as a teenager. Let me sing prais es of Parker’s genius for a moment, if you don’t mind. What made Low special was the dynamic between Parker, who played drums standing up and sang in a lovely so prano, and her husband, guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk. The songs were slow and filled with open spaces, inhabited by both the incredible harmonies of the two and a dissonance created by the lyrical darkness, and the tensions built around maintain ing order. Imagine a calliope on top of a vast and near-exploding boiler, with the only thing preventing catastrophe being the wisps of musical beauty escaping the pipes at key moments. That was Low. Over three decades, they released, from their Duluth home, records full of songs that found starlight in the deepest trenches, and breathed warmth over frozen bones and dead cornstalks. I don’t want to get maudlin — their music certainly never was — nor too despairing because there was also genuine humor among the sadness. In songs like “Sunflower” and “Canada,” you will find a wry smile woven into the mel odies. But that’s often the set-up for the devastators, songs like “(That’s How You Sing) Amazing Grace” and “Mom Says.” But if you really want to hear what the late, great Mimi Parker could do, listen to “In Metal,” the last song off of 2001’s Things We Lost in the Fire. In this song you will find the sweetest expression of postpar tum fears, with Parker singing about the desire to keep her baby’s little body, like its baby shoes, safe, forever in metal. I dare you to come out of the other side of that tune with dry eyes. Oh, and they also did a good Christmas album. Just throw a dart at their discography and you will hit something transcendent. RIP.

Thursday

Los Angeles’ night-rock-coastal-vibes act La Luz is celebrating its 10th anniversa ry with a tour bringing the quartet to the John Van Duzer Theatre tonight at 9 p.m. Known for a kinetic stage presence and a sound that builds rock monuments out of the hazy sheen of big city, West Coast noir, this is a fun band. and at $18, the price is right. If you are a Cal Poly Hum boldt student, the price is even right-er, as it is free.

Friday

Multi-instrumentalist, visionary, con cept artist and all-around sonic magician Arrington de Dionyso returns to the Mini plex tonight for an 8 p.m. show. He will be joined by the rhythm section of White Manna, and members of Die Geister Beschwören and Medicine Baul, perform ing under the moniker The Uncredible Phin Band, named after the electric Thai lute guitar that will doubtless feature prominently in the mix. If you are a phan of phin music, or enjoy out-there music played with zeal and excellence, tonight’s your night ($10).

Saturday

The Arcata Theatre Lounge is hosting a Harvester’s Ball with EDM DJ acts, so I guess there must still be whisps and va pors left in the tank of our county’s flailing cannabis industry. At 9 p.m. and for $20 ($15 if you pay in advance), you will find David Starfire, Savaj, Akritza and Dissolv making the big sounds on the big stage.

An hour earlier over at the Miniplex, a different kind of party will be going down, helmed by Tulsa duo Sports, whose sound is a funky collection of pop harmonies and roller-disco-rock gems, stitched together by jackknife turns from the beats and sam ples. Joining these Okie boys as co-head liners are the Bay Area’s Hot Flash Heat Wave, a trio that, while still within the first decade of its minting, has built a sound that thumbs through your vinyl with sticky fingers and kicks out the most energetic jams, regardless of specific genre, although

Nov. 12,

art punk is a common denominator. And finally, there’s Sipper, a group from New York City and the youngest act on the bill. Powerfully prolific since its inception in 2019, this one is a bedroom band firing cannons out the windows at the world’s dance floors ($15, $10 advance).

Sunday

Here’s a quirky show over at Blondies. Portland’s Foot Ox recently got some footing when one of its tracks “Angel Eyes and Basketball” went semi-viral on TikTok, that open-user platform whose hyper-quick videos are annihilating the membrane-thin attention spans of at least one generation like a purifying supernova. But don’t hold that against Foot Ox, whose sonic collages are actually pretty charming, if mildly annoying. Included on the bill are some new Arcata acts, including The Guiding Water and New Saturday Mourning Light Through a Window, a project by soundmeister Chini, who is definitely not trying to beat any landspeed records with that new name. Fuck it, I’ll go. At 9 p.m. for $5.

Monday

Metal Mondays continue over at Savage Henry Comedy Club at 7 p.m. Tonight’s bill is a full roster, featuring Greybush, Psyop Victim, War Möth and a band whose name was told to me once, quickly forgotten (my bad) and then utterly impossible

8 p.m.

to decipher from the flier due to that occasional metalhead habit of borrowing graphic design ideas by scrying out meaning from the spiderweb-patterns found on shattered windshields and cracked vinyl headrests. Because I don’t know how to read car accident, I can’t report on this one, but I’m sure if you show up and fork over the $10, someone knowledgeable will give you the info.

Tuesday

Apropos nothing, if you are involved in any way with the booking over at Siren’s Song Tavern, could you please drop me a line? I have been getting so much conflicting information about your shows and while I would love to feature some more of them in this column, separating the signal from the noise hasn’t been easy. Let’s fix that.

Wednesday

Early-ish show over at the Miniplex (8 p.m.), which means if you have work, school, etc., you can still go without guilt and be abed by eight bells. Sgt. Papers is a Mexican rock band whose thrashy, pop-psychedelia will not fail to pick you up. Also appearing is Tuscon’s Anchorbaby, a tropicalia act performing soundtrack pieces to ’70s Italian Giallo horror films. Seems promising. ($12, $10 advance). ●

Making it Weird

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY.

For many of us, there has always been Weird Al. Before we could formulate anything like a valid critical opinion, much less decide what, by our flaccid cultural barometer, could be called “good,” we could still appreciate (or at least enjoy) the overlaying of silly lyrics upon songs we could recognize. That has been and will be the domain of the undisputed champ, whose reign of polka-based PG-comedy songcraft continues to this day, almost four decades on.

Weird Al planted a flag for nerdery long before any incisive conversation about the label had even begun, when it was still overwhelmingly used pejoratively and the threat of swirlies seemed very real indeed. Hard as it might be for a Zoomer to believe, nerds weren’t cool — not even to hipsters. And so Weird Al’s cannonball into the mainstream, his seemingly fearless embrace of his personhood writ large as pop persona, was and is a more significant, resounding moment than even his sales numbers indicate.

That isn’t what Weird is about, though; not really. To its credit, this version of the Al Yankovic story — co-written by the legend himself with director Eric Appel — bops along with the same infectious energy and relentless, clever inanity as his music. A hugely fictionalized, liberty-tak ing riff on the traditional biopic, Weird does to Yankovic’s life story what Weird Al does to popular song: Over a plausi ble, ostensibly true framework, it layers a hilarious, unabashedly dorky, embellished tapestry of jokes, asides and “real-life” incidents that absolutely did not happen.

Some of the movie’s riffs and tropes — accordion as a subcultural scourge of the straight world, with teens holed up at feverish polka parties — might feel occasionally familiar but, again, this places them perfectly in keeping with the man’s body of work. While Weird Al has always

been defiantly nerdy, his brand has never been particularly combative or even confrontational. It could be the most subversive element of his celebrity that he has become part of the mainstream by parodying it so faithfully (and for so long).

Much like his music, the only real knock on this “biopic” is likely to come from the high-minded, would-be outsiders, the gatekeepers of their own true nerd fief who would say that Weird’s accessibility, like Al’s, makes it uncool, not edgy enough. Of course it does! That’s the whole point. There has never been anything cool about Weird Al and that makes him cooler than you.

Weird begins with conflict at home, where young Alfred (Richard Aaron An derson and then David Bloom), excoriated by his factory-worker father (Toby Huss who, with this and Blonde, is having a much better year as a character actor than he is likely to be recognized for) for his whimsical dreams, secretly labors in the closet at the accordion bought for him by his stalwart, supportive mother (Julianne Nicholson). Eventually, the work pays off: Inspiration for a stupid parody song strikes, Dr. Demento (Rainn Wilson) opens the door to the cultural elite and in no time Al (Daniel Radcliffe) is a problem drinker, alienating his band and forced by circumstance to shoot his way out of Pablo Escobar’s (Arturo Castro) jungle stronghold after rescuing his girlfriend, Madonna (Evan Rachel Wood).

This represents Appel’s jump from comedy shorts and episodic television to features, and he handles it with aplomb, dialing down the stylization and allowing the script (and the unbelievable support ing cast of comedy luminaries) to do the heavy lifting. Weird feels like a statement, albeit a relatively quiet one, a treatise on classical cinema comedy and more specifically parody movies (themselves an extra-medial corollary to Yankovic’s work):

They can’t die if we don’t let the bland-if ication of culture kill them. TV14. 108M.

ROKU STREAMING.

FLUX GOURMET. I’ve recently become quietly obsessed with the work of writer/ director Peter Strickland, of which this is the latest. A student of mid-century horror with an ear to sound design and a delightfully sick sense of humor, Strickland has been building a catalog of gorgeous, oddball genre-clashes since his self-fi nanced 2009 debut Katalin Varga. (Inci dentally, if anybody has a line on a Region 1 DVD or a streaming link for such, please contact the editor.)

Flux may be the hardest of Strickland’s movies to pin to its influences — Berberi an Sound Studio (2012) and In Fabric (2018) wearing their respective Italianate and Brion horror colors quite proudly — but it is also, for its acute weirdness and nigh-im penetrable plot synopsis, maybe the most accessible.

An unnamed band, comprised of Elle di Elle (Strickland muse Fatma Mohamed), Lamina Propria (Ariane Labed) and Billy Rubin (Asa Butterfield) have been awarded a residency in the manor house of pa troness Jan Stevens (Gwendoline Christie) to refine and perform what is referred to as Sonic Catering (think performance art set against food-based noise loops). Their process and dynamic are to be document ed by the long-suffering, dyspeptic Stones (Makis Papdimitriou), even as infighting threatens their fragile bond.

It gets weirder than the description but is also mightily funny if one allows it to be. NR. 111M. STREAMING.

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the trustee’s information line at (707) 444-9281. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

DATED: This 1st day of November, 2022 in the city of Eureka, and the county of Humboldt, California. Harland Law Firm LLP
