I Sang Guthrie For Guthrie in a Psych Ward

Baby, I sang Guthrie for Guthrie in a psych ward in ‘61

Ode to the times, the times gone bye…Oh the times, they’re always a-changin’.

Back then, a penny was worth something. Now, we just keep ‘um to smash ‘um

Don’t think twice but time never stands still

Yeah, now I cover Coldplay, and tour with Willie Nelson

Let me die in my footsteps…look out the window an’ I’ll be gone…

And life is hard, but loving is harder

Nickels break a dollar/make change/and I’m a-travelin’ on…

‘We Need You!’

Editor:

The mandates article was well done and makes it clear that California is not on track to meet the challenges of handling the destructive and massively expensive consequences of the extreme weather (NCJ Daily, March 21). The challenges relate to keeping our state from burning up, overheating and being washed away and flooded by extreme rainfall or by a rising Pacific Ocean. Then there is our food production/security, our ability to keep construction a ordable and people exposed to increased climate risks, etc.

The article shows the prevailing view that the “state” is responsible for reducing emissions and the high costs of weather damage. That view points to other participants not getting the goals met; who are the mysterious “we” or the less well defined “they?” As in, “they” need to increase ....

Let’s be clear. Dealing with meeting climate change goals means changing anything to do with our use of fossil fuel (and creating cement), most of which is used by people or for the benefit of people. At this point the “state” does not know how

to do all of what needs to be done.

Denying that these changes need to happen is only making things worse.

Do you really want the “state” or some mysterious “they” to make the decisions about how you need to change the way you use cement and fossil fuels? If not, then the alternative is to start taking responsibility for how you and your community will handle this.

The state cannot do what needs to be done because the change needs to be made by everyone who directly or indirectly pays for the use of fossil fuels. That includes everyone living in the “state.” When enough people engage responsibly and work together as communities, then we stand a chance of creating the results needed to build a positive future.

“We” need you to get with the program — now!

Records Document

Another ECS Brown Act Violation on Jacobs Deal

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

Eureka City Schools appears to have violated more open meeting and public records laws in its handling of the former Jacobs middle school property exchange than previously known, the Journal has learned via a new batch of public records disclosed in response to the paper’s request.

While the Journal already reported that the district erred in not listing on its meeting agenda the specific address of the property the district would be acquiring through the agreement — which has the district giving 8.3 acres of its long-shuttered middle school campus to AMG Communities-Jacobs LLC, a newly formed corporation, in exchange for two small residential units on I Street and $5.35 million in cash — recently released records document another violation of state sunshine laws.

In putting together the agenda for the Dec. 14 ECS board meeting, district sta included two separate items regarding the property exchange. The first was a closed session discussion that listed negotiating parties as AMG and the California Highway Patrol, which had long sought the site and reportedly had a $4 million purchase o er on the table for the property. That item was to allow the board to discuss the “price and terms of payment” behind closed doors before an open session item would allow the district to formally approve a resolution authorizing the property exchange with AMG.

But when Eureka City Schools released its agenda and accompanying board packet — which included all of the sta reports and other documentation needed to inform board members and the public — it did not include the draft property exchange resolution. And when people and the press asked for it, they were told it wasn’t yet a public document and would only be released if the board decided in closed session to move forward with the agreement.

Experts in the state’s public records and open meeting laws — the Ralph M. Brown Act — told the Journal and other outlets covering the exchange that such a withholding of the resolution might be legal, if a majority of the board also only received the document at the same time as the general public. (Even then, though, some opined it would be bad governance, and the more transparent course would have been to deal with the closed session negotiations first, then bring forward the resolution at a subsequent meeting when board members and the public would have ample time to review the document and weigh in.)

However, documents released to the Journal subsequent to a public records act request show that the draft resolution and property exchange agreement were distributed to the entirety of the board shortly before 5 p.m. on Dec. 11, more than 72 hours before they were eventually released to the public.

This constitutes a violation, according to First Amendment Coalition Executive Director David Snyder and David Loy, the nonprofit’s legal director.

“If it’s going to the board to be discussed in open session, then, yes, that is a document they should have to disclose under the Public Records Act and the Brown Act,” Loy said. “If we’re talking about something that will go before the board in open session, there’s no question about that.”

The Lost Coast Outpost reported ECS Executive Assistant Micalyn Harris declined to provide a copy of the resolution when asked in advance of the Dec. 14 meeting. Similarly, documents released to the Journal pursuant to a records request indicate Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery requested the resolution in advance of the meeting and was told by Harris they would be made available “prior to discussion of the agenda item.” Slattery responded to request the documents “as soon as the board members” have access to them, noting that’s when they become public record. Harris did not respond until the afternoon following the Dec. 14 meeting.

Another email from Harris to ECS board members in advance of the Dec. 14 meeting also raises questions, noting the district’s counsel would be joining the closed session discussion so the board could “discuss next steps and determine if to move

forward,” suggesting the closed-door conversation may have strayed beyond the bounds of directing district negotiators on “price and terms of payment.”

Another email from Harris — this one providing the board a draft copy of the agenda on Dec. 8 — notes that former Superintendent Fred Van Vleck was still reviewing the property exchange resolution agenda item with then Assistant Superintendent Gary Storts, who has since taken over for Van Vleck, and Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Paul Ziegler. As such, Harris advised the agenda wouldn’t be released “until closer to the 72-hour mark” when the district would be legally required to make it public. Harris’ email stresses the secrecy of the situation.

“Please note this agenda remains highly confidential and is not public until Monday afternoon,” she wrote.

Storts has previously maintained that the district complied with the Brown Act when asked by the Journal, saying the agenda was prepared “in consultation with legal counsel,” though he declined to explain exactly what counsel had told the district or detail why it felt noticing requirements had been met when legal experts interviewed by the Journal determined they had not.

(The deadline has now passed for “interested persons” to challenge the district’s compliance with the Brown Act by sending it a “cure or correct” demand.)

As we’ve previously noted, much about the transaction remains shrouded in mystery more than three months after the agreement was approved. It still has not been publicly disclosed who AMG’s principals are, and a spokesperson and an attorney representing the LLC have only described them as a “private group of small individual and family investors.” Attorneys representing the LLC have been Eureka City School’s only points of contact, according to Storts, and have been the only ones to sign associated documents.

The LLC has also missed a filing deadline with the California Secretary of State’s O ce to submit documents providing additional information on the company. An attorney, Thomas Swett, filed articles of

organization with the Secretary of State’s O ce on behalf of the LLC on Dec. 12 — two days before ECS approved the property exchange — and the LLC was then required to file a subsequent “statement of information” about the LLC within 90 days, by March 11 but has failed to do so, according to the agency’s website.

While the articles of organization simply list an agent, an LLC’s “initial mailing address” and its management structure, the statement of information

is more thorough. It requires an LLC to provide both a street address and a mailing address, identify a CEO and name its managers. This last point is especially noteworthy with AMG Communities-Jacobs because the secretive entity’s articles of organization state it will be managed by all LLC members and the statement of information provides that if “no managers have been appointed,” companies should “provide the name and address of each member.”

A spokesperson for AMG Communities-Jacobs LLC did not immediately respond to a Journal email inquiry for this story regarding why the document has not yet been filed.

A version of this story was initially published at northcoastjournal.com. ●

New State Plan Could Help HumCo Foster Kids

Foster kids often miss out on Little League or music lessons. That’s one of the consequences of changing homes, or living with a family on a tight budget.

Now California has a new plan to give them opportunities for the kinds of extracurricular activities that can build character and community.

It’s included in a proposed revision to how the state pays for foster care that’s intended to make more money available to high-needs kids. Youth advocates are especially enthusiastic about the funding for extracurricular activities, which would come in the form of a monthly stipend of at least $500.

“These kids are always underfunded,” said Brian Blalock, senior directing attorney at the Youth Law Center. “And especially when the kids are with grandma and the kids are with relatives, often on fixed income. It’s where we most want these young people as a system, and as a consequence, grandma’s maxing out credit cards to keep the grandbaby in basketball and dance and tutoring.”

The California Department of Social Services put forward the proposal last month, as part of a restructuring to the state’s foster care payment system that was prompted by a 2015 law. Lawmakers are expected to consider it in budget deliberations this spring. By law, the state must adopt updated foster care pay rates by Jan. 1, although the changes would not roll out until 2026.

If implemented, the restructuring could have an outsized impact in Humboldt County, which has some the highest rates of children in foster care in California, with 13.8 children in foster care per 1,000 in 2018, per the nonprofit kidsdata.org. And while the number of children entering foster care has declined steadily statewide since 2000, it has almost doubled in Humboldt County over that timeframe, reaching almost 4,000 youth aged zero to 20 living in foster care in 2018, the last year for which data is available on the site.

Aside from the money for activities, the proposal includes a new scale for payments to foster families and money earmarked for support services like therapy and mentoring. Children with greater needs would receive more money.

If the Legislature and Gov. Gavin New-

som sign off on the plan, the department estimates California will spend about $1 billion a year by 2028-2029 on foster care payments.

Some money will come from the federal government, but the vast majority will be put up by the state’s general fund. For comparison, California spent a total of $459 million in foster care pay in 20232024.

State officials say the proposal is meant to create room for positive experiences in foster care.

“Most importantly it is attuning to the fact that all of these children have strengths, and focusing on those strengths and building those strengths is really key to addressing that trauma and improving the well-being of all of our children,” said Angie Schwartz, deputy director of the Children and Family Services Division at the California Department of Social Services, during a webinar in March.

Assessing Children’s Needs in Foster Care

Under the state’s proposal, compensation for caregivers would be based on a tiered system of kids’ assessed needs. This would range from $1,788 a month for most kids to $6,296 for kids with the greatest needs for support.

That would replace the current model, which bases a caregiver’s pay on where a child is placed. Right now group homes are paid a higher rate than grandparents or foster families, for example.

The acuity of a child’s needs will be evaluated with a tool known as the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths assessment. While this assessment is used today, it doesn’t determine funding. Kids are usually assessed every six months.

This assessment takes into account a number of things, including kids’ behavioral and emotional needs, risk behaviors and how the child is doing in school, socially and physically.

Foster care services providers and the Legislative Analyst’s Office have raised questions about the reliability of the assessment tool and whether it will be done consistently.

“There’s real worry about children potentially being scored at a lower tier or at a lower level, and then that determin-

ing the tier of services that they would get,” said Christine Stoner-Mertz, CEO of the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, which represents organizations that work in child welfare.

Stoner-Mertz said the state needs to figure out a process for when children switch tiers, especially if their level of need begins to decline and they are bumped down to a lower funding level.

“How are we working with families to prepare them for what could often be perceived as losing those supports that are, in fact, making the child more stable in their home?”

For the first time, children and their caregivers may also be eligible for “immediate needs” dollars, which would fund support services like therapy and mentoring. This would come in amounts between $1,000 and $4,100 a month and would be reserved for the 25 percent of children with the greatest needs.

Supporting Home-based Foster Care

For the past several years, the state has been working to place more kids with families rather than in group homes. Research shows that kids tend to do better at a home with a family. The state has decreased the number of children being placed in congregate settings by almost 60

percent, according to the social services department.

Organizations that support foster families are watching the state’s proposal closely, and some are worried it does not provide enough money for the nonprofits that do the work to place kids in homes.

The nonprofits, known as foster family agencies, play an important role in this process by recruiting foster parents and training them, as well as providing social work support.

The California Alliance of Child and Family Services notes that the rate paid to foster family agencies has remained mostly flat for almost 20 years.

A recent survey by the alliance showed foster family agencies have high turnover rates of social workers because they cannot compete with the salaries offered by other employers. The survey also showed 68 percent of foster family agencies are at risk of downsizing because of insufficient funding.

NCJ’s Greenson Takes Second Freedom of Information Award

The Society of Professional Journalists NorCal announced its winners of the James Madison Freedom of Information Award last week, “recognizing people and organizations who have made significant contributions to advancing freedom of information.” Among the recipients is the Journal’s own news editor Thadeus Greenson, for his investigative story “The Soeth Files” (May 4, 2023).

The story, which in February garnered a Free Speech and Open Government Award from the First Amendment Coalition, tracks the questionable use of force, including shootings, over the career of Maxwell Soeth, who still serves in Humboldt County law enforcement. This took public record requests, internal police documents, dash cam footage and inter-

views, all stemming from a single tip.

The SPJ NorCal announcement lauds Greenson’s work, saying, “Through meticulous reporting and savvy use of the Public Records Act, the North Coast Journal’s Thadeus Greenson exposed a glaring lack of accountability at the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.”

This is Greenson’s second time earning the prestigious award, following his 2017 James Madison Freedom of Information win for another investigation regarding police accountability. Greenson was recognized for not only his reporting on then Eureka Police Sgt. Adam Laird, but for fighting for public records and camera footage withheld by the city (“Exempt from Disclosure,” Aug. 6, 2015)..

Making Change: Consumerism

Talk is cheap, buying nothing is spectacular

By Jennifer Savage itspersonal@northcoastjournal.com

Let’s talk about opting out of an economic system that neither our psyches nor our planet can sustain. Welcome to part three of Making Change, a six-week series on the hows and whys of personal, social and political change.

Ilove to talk about money. (I even wrote a column about it in this paper.)

This makes some people uncomfortable. But in American society, almost every conversation is, at heart, about consumerism and how we participate in it. The answers to, “What have you been up to?” can vary from, “Just got back from Baja!” to “Trying to figure out how to get my car fixed.” Inherent in the question, “Want to get dinner?” is, “Can you a ord to eat out?” When we talk about what our kids are doing, the choice of activities reflects not only the interests of our little darlings, but also what we can a ord to provide them. Talking politics? Your economic concerns influence your opinions as much as — if not more than — your social beliefs. Sharing health tips with friends? You’re also sharing whether you can a ord a doctor, prescriptions, supplements and high-end food.

Likewise, every time we buy something new, there’s a story. Someone extracted resources to make a thing. Someone made a thing. Someone profited by selling a thing. Something will have to be done with the thing when it no longer serves its purpose. These alter the appeal and the ethics of the story. And this stu we buy furthers our own story.

I have a complicated relationship with stu . On one hand, clutter (in my house,

not yours) short-circuits my brain. In the stu -to-space ratio, I land very hard on the side of more space. Beyond my personal preferences, I spend my days trying to convince people to make good choices for our planet, especially reducing plastic in the environment. I should be the embodiment of the Buy Nothing movement. And yet, the years I spent struggling to pay the bills and stretch my food stamps fostered a scarcity mentality, so when I have money, I want to buy all the nice stu I couldn’t a ord before. A new couch, not a stained hand-me-down. Expensive light bulbs. Gifts for children. A blender that can handle kale. A new surfboard. A robot vacuum. I try to buy — or at least try to try to buy —durable goods made from sustainable materials in the U.S. But I’m too aware of corporate greenwashing to pretend I can shop my way out of climate change or into workers’ rights.

Book rec: How to Buy Essentially Nothing for a Year

by Elizabeth Chai

In the introduction to her new book How to Buy Essentially Nothing for a Year, Elizabeth Chai asks, “I claimed to care about sustainability and impacting the world in a positive way … was it all just cheap talk?” This self-examination led her to reduce what she already owned and refrain from shopping for anything other than food, co ee, toilet paper and services that fit her “deep desire to reduce [her] environmental impact and eliminate feeding the monsters of consumerism, fast-fashion and electronic waste.”

Not only did Chai want to accumulate fewer material possessions, but she sought a full attitude adjustment on the topics of materialism and excess. To do this, she first identified her values and goals. Next, with those in mind, she made lists spelling out what items were allowed, which were not and which ones would be OK under specific circumstances. Third, she reached out to her community for support in her quest.

She’s now into her fourth year of this revamped way of living and o ering a guide to others interested in better aligning their shopping habits with their values. This doesn’t mean living a sad life in an empty apartment. What Chai rejected was unnecessary consumption, instead sourcing items from Buy Nothing groups and the like, while making a move to Portland, furnishing a house and building a tiny home. You might think that is super cool or you might think, “Not for me!” But what definitely is super cool is how Chai crafted her guide for personalization, giving readers the ability to customize their own Year of Buying Essentially Nothing to best fit individual concerns, lifestyle, work and home situations, resources, personality and creative goals.

Reflecting on some of the benefits that inspired her to continue her project-turned-lifestyle, Chai includes the expected “saved a surprising amount of money.” Even more stunning, she developed an immunity to advertising. “Pop-up ads,

coupons, billboards and seasonal specials became irrelevant, and therefore practically invisible,” she writes. “Sales and discount codes pitched by social media influencers became little gnats. They’d annoyingly fly in my face, and then I’d mentally shoo them away … I was a casual observer in the zoo of consumption all around me.”

I love how the shift away from participating in a culture destructive to her and the natural environment reached the point where she was completely outside it. Advertisers and social media companies want us to stop, click and buy, and they do everything they can to trick our brains into doing so. Stepping back from their traps is to experience the joy of self-determination. Whether at Costco or the boutique eco-goods shop downtown, impulse-buying and spending on non-essentials define most American consumers. Chai’s book provides tools that enable readers of all economic classes to better live their own values while doing less harm to the planet along the way. ●

First Rate Twelfth Night

By Tiggerbouncer Custodio frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

The sight of someone smoking a cigarette in costume is shocking to those of us who have been conditioned by every stage manager — some even threatening our lives should we disobey. My shock faded when I found out the man I saw outside the theater was not an actor, but 5th and D Street Theater’s tech board operator Ron Bishop, who’d dressed up for North Coast Repertory Theatre’s newest production of Twelfth Night. I immediately knew this production would be special — when people behind the scenes are inspired to join in on the Shakespearean shenanigans, it’s a good sign — and I wasn’t disappointed.

The play was written in 1601 so if you aren’t familiar with the plot by now, just go see it. It is a classic comedy: girl disguised as a boy falls in love with a boy who is in love with a di erent girl who is loved by another boy who was tricked by mischievous court folk with a letter (there’s always a letter). Naturally, it ends with marriages and reunion. It also drips with the bawdy double entendre and hilarious wit Shakespeare is famous for.

The actors explode onto the stage with music and dance created by director/ movement choreographer Shawn Wagner to represent stylized turbulent water, a shipwreck, and siblings Viola (Rachel Houska) and Sebastian’s (Amadeus Brown) separation at sea. Although some actors

were obviously unsure of their timing Saturday evening (betrayed by side glances to make sure they were in sync), it created the energy needed to propel them into the high energy physicality that director Calder Johnson uses to sculpt the story. I am typically skeptical when I see one person wearing multiple hats (in Johnson’s case no fewer than six) because collaboration keeps art from getting lost in translation. Johnson, however, is surefooted in his roles, and creates harmony and cohesion. Dance/musical pieces in Shakespeare could swallow the stories and poetry in other productions as the audience adjusts to the language and delivery. This talented cast not only does not fall into that trap, but metabolizes it, harnessing it for sustained energy and tasting Shakespeare’s words in their delivery.

Kathlina Eayre as Lady Olivia of Illyria is impeccable, utilizing sultry tones, her confident presence and great acting to squeeze multilayered meaning out of every word. Sam Pietanza’s brilliant and over the top portrayal of Feste the Fool makes the language literally sing (they have a phenomenal musical epilogue) with a mastery of timing and flow that makes me question if it was indeed their first time with the material. Stage veterans Jaye Templeton (Sir Andrew Aguecheek), Larry Crist (Antonio) Moss Nipkau (Sir Toby Belch) and Toodie Boll (Maria) inspire any new actor to tackle Shakespeare in

hopes that they will be castmates to learn from their professionalism and love of the works. Mychal Evenson (Malvolio) delivers a fantastic performance with a di cult bit of character acting that was steady and enduring. I look forward to seeing more of Rachel Houska, Catherine Rivers Holper and Amadeus Brown, as they will undoubtedly move to casting short-lists after their performance.

The scenic, light, sound and prop design played well o each other (one benefit of having the same person to do it all), though I might rethink the lighted clouds as they seem more cool than functional. The costumes are beautiful and well-constructed by Megan Hughes with hints of modern elements lightly sprinkled in. I did question the use of tap shoes, as they are never used as such, and a powder blue pleated ’50s style dress that seems completely out of period, despite being gorgeous on the actor. This production is high energy, in

your face and unapologetic. It is the kind of Shakespeare that makes SCA and Will-aholics giddy. I encourage you to throw on a tunic, grab a turkey leg and give it a huzzah. ●

What’s Good? Burgers, Malasadas and Shawarma

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

On the Jamwagon Bandwagon

You can’t miss the bright blue Jamwagon food truck with its red lettering announcing pitas, gyros, hummus, falafel and fries (1631 Central Ave., McKinleyville; updates on Facebook). And good thing, too. (Sidebar: Is McKinleyville’s Central Avenue, with its Indian takeover days at the Taqueria Martinez truck, Auntie Hao’s and now this Greek street-food operation, becoming the spot to cruise food trucks with big flavors?)

Instead of the usual heavy toppings, the Jamwagon’s loaded fries take a refreshing turn for the Mediterranean ($6, plus $1.50 for chicken/$3.50 lamb). Doused in creamy, garlicky tzatziki sauce, its mild tartness coupling with chunks of feta cheese, they come topped with chopped tomato and slices of charred peppers, the light bitterness of which you may find yourself hunting for at the bottom of the container.

Lamb shawarma comes well spiced with cumin among others, but not masking the wonderfully juicy lamb tucked in a soft, thick Greek pita warm from the grill ($11.99). The tang of tzatziki lightens the heavy flavors along with feta, raw onion, tomato and cucumber. (This is a good time to remind you of the importance of car linens, the cloth napkin/towel/small tarp you should have tucked in your glove box to lay over your lap on just such occasions.)

The falafel promised on the side of the truck delivers, especially for $6. (Great value when you consider it’s been a triedand-true favorite since pyramids were the architectural stye of the day.) Inside the pita, satisfyingly crunchy chickpea and parsley pucks fried dark break open bright green and herbaceous. The thick swipe of smoky garlic tahini adds richness and the squeeze of lemon, along with the cucumbers, lettuce and tomato, balance things out.

You’d better get on those car linens.

A Burger Break in the Rain

In Humboldt spring, if the patio is dry, much less sunny, take advantage. Not all the benches were dry at Eureka’s branch of Redwood Curtain Brewery (1595 Myrtle Ave.) when the rain let up at last, but enough for a burger and fries framed in a patch of sun in front of the attached Cookin’ Nook truck.

The Myrtle Burger with Cheese is a top seller at the craft beer spot for good reason ($15). The two pinky-thick ground wagyu patties grilled with salt and pepper on a flat-top come draped in melted cheddar and stacked atop planks of dill pickle, tomato, lettuce and red onion. It’s a generous, classic burger without fuss. (Fancy though the Japanese cattle breed may sound, it’s not the pampered and massaged variety, and the flavor is decidedly American beef.) An added

half-order of firm and starchy hand-cut, skin-on fries will run you $3, with the bonus of hunting the bottom of the pile for the bits that verge on thick potato chips.

Another opportunity to seize comes in the form of warm malasadas ($5), Portuguese yeast doughnuts that Henry Palomares, who manages the truck, says were a menu must-have for brewery owner Amanda Mollberg. This iteration is bready and springy, and thoroughly rolled in crunchy table sugar that provides

the sweetness. Order the Bavarian and a dollop of vanilla custard is not piped, but spooned into the cut sides of the pair of malasadas. Palomares says the monthly special coming up will be served with strawberries. Get them while you can. l

Reap the Wild Wind

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Well, April is here, “breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain,” according to the poet T.S. Eliot in one of his most famous works. A popular interpretation of his provocation of calling this “the cruellest month” is the notion that new life coming out of the frozen bed of winter brings pain for those still grieving the dying losses of the previous year’s decline. “Life goes on” can be just as much a curse as an encouragement, per John Cougar Mellencamp, a musician I don’t usually endorse and who went to lunch forever with that general sentiment in the mega-hit “Jack & Diane.” The world keeps turning and churning, even if the thrill is gone for some of its longterm residents. The forces of depression can cause an amnesiac effect, where memories fade and the immediate surroundings are your only attachments. This seems both bluntly harsh and yet merciful, in the sense that simple pleasures — like spring flowers — might compound into rich, passing flavors once free of the background noise of longer memories. I don’t know. I often encounter this month as disorienting, a feeling of being pushed through a process whether I like it or not. And I’m not sure I am too giddy about rebirth, to be honest. I think the first one was hard enough. This is all just piss in the wind though — a nice blustery spring wind, to be precise — because none of us have a choice in this pathway. It’s happening, might as well find a way to enjoy it.

On that note, have a nice week

Thursday

The Alley Cats, also known as the Opera Alley Cats when they play the Speakeasy on that street, are a fine jazz group of varying size depending on who is up for the gig. However large or small,

these cats know their stuff, and provide an excellent cool jazz atmosphere for the lucky folks in the venue. Tonight’s roost is the Basement, where, at 8 p.m. you can hear the cat’s meow (free).

Friday

We all love a good local band showcase, don’t we, folks? Tonight’s line-up spans the rock-to-punk pipeline, with a quartet of groups who all have names that sound like minor Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle villains: Pit Junkies, Marvin the Fly, Something Wicked and The Goons The action happens at the Siren’s Song Tavern after 7 p.m., with a $5-$10 sliding scale.

Saturday

The Sanctuary presents “Ladies Sing for Lady Day,” an appreciation of Billie Holiday, whose birth happened 109 years ago on Sunday. Musicians James Zeller, Danny Gaon and James Forrest will back up local singers Lorenza Simmons, Paula Jones, Claire Bent and Katie Belnap as they roll through our lady’s songbook. Doors are at 7 p.m., music starts a half hour later, and the evening’s price tag is $15-$30, sliding scale. Come one, come all.

Sunday

Christ Episcopal Church in Eureka lends its church organ to the talents of Hungarian organist Sándor Balatoni, who will be joined by Hungarian American violinist Philip Ficsor, to play a series of solo and duet pieces, including works by their homeland hero Béla Bartok, along with French composer Jules Massenet and Josef Rheinberger from the 19th century courts of Liechtenstein. This looks like a great program and a lot of talent in exactly the right venue, so consider my endorsement made in full. The suggested donation is $20 and the music begins at 4 p.m.

Monday

Well, it’s another total eclipse day, though essentially just a partial at best for those of us on the West Coast and therefore outside of the path of totality. Not sure how you want to celebrate, I will probably lean into my own personal tradition of forgetting that it was going to happen at all and spending a few moments wondering why the sky looks weird. For those of you looking for some kind of event, the Circus Italia that has been set up at the Bayshore Mall is giving its final performance at 7:30 p.m., with tickets starting at $20. Called Paranormal Cirque, I was intrigued enough to watch the YouTube trailer on the circus website before deciding even though this isn’t really for me, it looks like a good mix of horror ambience with carny vibrations, so there’s probably truth in advertising that this is an adult’s event (unless accompanied by a guardian) and I respect the hustle.

Tuesday

Another quiet night on the coast, so how about some soul, disco and pop?

Last year we lost the musical titans Tina Turner and Anita Pointer (who technically passed on New Year’s Eve 2022 but that still counts) — leaving her sister Ruth as the only surviving original member of the Pointer Sisters. Both Turner

and the Pointer Sisters had long careers, spanning the early days of soul, through the glitter buzzed ’70s and onto the age of the mega-pop stars of the 1980s, so you have a lot to choose from if you feel like thumbing through either one’s extensive discography. Given my personal tastes, I’d start with the songs the artists covered by the late, great New Orleans master Allen Toussaint. In Turner’s case that would be “Viva La Money” from the end of the disco era, while the Pointers had an early-career hit with an R&B cover of the funkified tune “Yes We Can,” with Anita taking command of the lead vocals with an impossibly smooth bravado that is the essence of youthful strut with none of the uncertainty.

Wednesday

Regular readers know all about the beloved Metal Mondays at Savage Henry Comedy Club — and now the venue is expanding that general concept with Music Wednesday. Today’s offering is advertised as a post-industrial gig, with Mnemonic Pulse (and others) providing the tunes. As with the Monday slot, music starts at 7 p.m., and it’s a sliding scale $5-$10 to get inside. l

Hash of the Titans

Godzilla

X Kong: The New Empire

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE. For a giant lizard, Godzilla has evolved. At this point, his multiverse timelines are overlapping, with reboots from Japan and the U.S. passing each other at the box o ce, Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One finishing its acceptance speeches just as Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire hits theaters. The 1954 original Japanese Godzilla retains its intensity and power, with its grim warning about nuclear technology. Filmed less than a decade after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were leveled by atom bombs, it captures unrest among a bitter and frightened citizenry, the inadequacy of the government, and the horror of familiar sirens and new destruction raining on a country still in tatters. Rescue comes not in the form of tanks but self-sacrifice.

The 1960s began decades of lighter, friendlier, even goofier rubber-suited Godzilla meant to charm children and sell toys rather than provoke. (Tread lightly on these googly-eyed romps, for you tread on my youth.) Over the years, Toho and other studios kept a steady stream of kaiju movies coming in various degrees of seriousness, including a somewhat head-scratching Shin Godzilla (2016), in which the monster evolves as the film progresses and bureaucrats charged with responding move endlessly from meeting to meeting while Tokyo and its residents are flattened. Hollywood first rebooted the loose franchise with Godzilla in 1998, with a far more Jurassic-looking Godzilla ravaging New York City, where our only hope is Matthew Broderick. Sure. The Monarch cinematic universe — or MonsterVerse, as it markets itself — kicks o in 2014 with (another) Godzilla, this time with the mysterious Monarch agency studying him and his pre-historic Titan brethren (Mothra, et al). And so the kaiju matchups begin anew. (If you bet on Kong in 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, I don’t know what to tell you.) But the Monarch movies spent money on A-list casting and wild e ects to make for blockbusters, even if the scripts weren’t as strong. That strategy falls short in director Adam Wingard’s Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, a fumble made more embarrassing since the moving, genre-defying Japanese action-drama Godzilla Minus One only

made landfall this past October. That film, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, takes the story back to its roots of postwar destruction and political commentary, making the radical shift to an anti-military and anti-war movie that rejects suicidal notions of valor and allows for damaged heroes scrapping together what fight they have left in them to save the broken country and its survivors. It is an exciting, tense and thoughtful take, and a tough act to follow.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire takes us deeper into lore and the vertigo-inducing, upside-down world of Hollow Earth, where a bedraggled Kong has been surviving solo with the aid of Rambo-esque traps. A dental issue brings him to the surface of Earth — a journey only slightly less convenient than hauling to Santa Rosa for a dental surgery. Topside, Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) is struggling with wild electrical readings and her adopted daughter Jia’s (Kaylee Hottle) monster senses going o , possibly in connection to Kong, for whom she is sole translator. Meanwhile, Godzilla guzzles a nuclear power plant like a RedBull, preparing for something. Andrews and Jia, along with Titan veterinarian Trapper (Dan Stevens doing a British imitation of Owen Wilson) and conspiracy podcaster Bernie (Brian Tyree Henry), follow Kong back to his stomping and swinging grounds to investigate. There, Kong discovers the lanky, ginger Scar King cracking a whip of Titan vertebrae over his fellow giant primates, enslaving them to move rocks for whatever reason. The humans, searching for the source of the signals, explore Hollow Earth and discover the Titans are not the only residents.

There are plenty of spectacular e ects granting us rotating views of Godzilla

fighting what appears to be a massive snow crab in Rome (sadly, no butter in sight) and Kong and Godzilla throwing hands/claws/ each other on and around the pyramids in Egypt. But by the time we get to the smashing of Rio de Janeiro, with nary a shot of the human toll, Dr. Andrew’s indignant response to panicked civilians feels unhinged. And the ancient backstory is shaky at best. There are moments of humor, as when the Scar King takes time out to roast Kong for the metal cap on his canine, or when Kong tries to team up with Godzilla,

for whom the beef is evidently still fresh. And if you have longed to see Kong ride Godzilla like a horse, or watch a four-way Titan cage match in zero-gravity, the movie has its gifts, beauty shots of Hollow Earth and its crystalline basement level included. But a clunky story and less than compelling connections between characters (the mother-daughter issues feel all too after-school special) aren’t enough to make this one resonate beyond the boom of the sound system. BROADWAY (3D), MILL CREEK (3D).

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, as to title, possession or encumbrances to satisfy the unpaid balance due on the note or notes secured by said Deed of Trust, plus estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Sale: $82,634.12 NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED JULY 16, 2018 UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-916-939-0772 or visit this internet website: http://www.nationwideposting.com address for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 7066535. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website http://www.nationwideposting.com. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 1-916939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 7066535 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent for the mortgagee or beneficiary declares that the mortgagee or beneficiary has satisfied the requirements of California Civil Code 2923.5.

Kevin Coles

1937-2024

Kevin Douglas Coles was born in Lakeport, California 1937 and died in his home in Manila, California on March 7, 2024 with his wife Mary and his daughter Shannon by his side.

Kevin was 86 years old and he spent those years living close to the things and people that he loved, doing the things he loved and wanted to do. He was a sailor at heart, all about boats and bays and sailing. He loved to tinker with trucks, boat motors and small engines and get them to work. He loved discovering and exploring new places and making people laugh.

He died of old age,of nothing in particular, of a body that just grew too old and fragile to go on. He quietly stopped breathing, passing away peacefully, on to the Great Spirit or to see God or the Buddha or maybe all three, as we believe he had some questions for them.

After he was disabled in his early 40s by heart disease, Kevin became a jewelry artist. He will be remembered for his beautiful jewelry that he sold at fairs and at the Mattel Cooperative Art Gallery in Garberville where he was a member until he retired.

He’ll also be remembered for teaching Tai Chi classes for several years. He had studied with a well known teacher in San Francisco and wanted to bring those teachings back to his community in Southern Humboldt County where he lived at the time.

Kevin was a Sanga member of Daishu-In West Buddhist temple in Benbow. Zen Buddhism and its teachings were the center of his spiritual life and the other members of the Sangha were his closest friends.

In his 70s, he found and married Mary Sanger, who was the love of his life and with whom he spent many of his happiest and most peaceful years.

Kevin is survived by his wife Mary, her children and grandchildren, by his daughter Shannon and his grandson Thomas and his niece and nephews John Smith, Paul Smith and Charlotte Visser-Gasser and their families.

Kevin was a husband, father, grandfather,brother, uncle and friend. He was a good man, a kind man, a man that cared about the world,who wanted to live simply and in harmony with it . We will love you forever and see you in time.

Welcome to NCJ Taco Week!

For some of us, Taco Tuesday is not enough. NCJ Taco Week is a 10-day taco Bacchanalia (Taco-nalia?) during which 11 spots around the county will be serving up 13 tacos. Take stock of the taco variety you’ll be up against: Korean fried chicken, street corn and steak, a pupusa-taco hybrid, fish tacos and even an ice cream taco. You don’t have to try them all — if you can live with the eternal taco FOMO and regret, since these specials are for a limited time only. (*Gazes into desert sunset while a lonely guitar plays.)

Go get ’em, Humboldt.

NCJ Taco Week Pro Tips

SOMETIMES RESTAURANTS RUN OUT OF TACOS.

Because kitchens aren’t staffed with genies and supplies are not infinite, a given restaurant could run out of its #NCJTacoWeek tacos toward the end of a shift. If that happens, know that we feel your pain and it’s going to be OK. There’s always a tomorrow when you can come back and order the taco we all want you to have. Don’t let your hangry self get the better of you and remember that making and serving your food is a noble calling. Be kind to those doing this important work.

YES, YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT.

As mentioned above, folks are excited for #NCJTacoWeek. As during NCJ Burger Week, your favorite participating spot may go from sleepy to packed. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little. Treat yourself to a beverage. Revel in the anticipation. And when your food shows up in all its delicious glory, post about it on social media using #NCJTacoWeek. There could be prizes.

NOT TIPPING MAKES YOU THAT CUSTOMER. DON’T BE THAT CUSTOMER.

We all get caught up in the excitement of a deal. But don’t lose your manners and remember the folks cooking and serving are handling more orders and delivering tacos during the frenzy that is #NCJTacoWeek. Tip at least

20% and walk out with your head held high, making your parents and the NCJ team proud. Your taco purveyors will remember it when you come back.

YOU SHOULD GET A SIDE AND A DRINK, TOO. You’re not required to buy anything else but can you really say you’ve had the full experience without a beverage or a dessert? This is the perfect time to try out the other goodies our restaurant pals are cooking up while showing a little love to local businesses. Is there craft beer on the menu? Horchata? Live a little.
