COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Meet Jim Borden
Jim Borden has been part of the Humboldt community since 2000, when his career with Varsity Ice Cream brought him from Santa Rosa to Blue Lake. Jim has worked in the ice cream business since 1991 and has spent the past five years servicing all five Murphy’s Markets. Along the way, Murphy’s has also become his family’s neighborhood market. “I’ve been shopping at Murphy’s ever since the day we moved to Humboldt,” Jim says. “The Glendale store is right down the road from our home. Everyone is so nice and polite, they know me by name, and they know my whole family.” Jim appreciates Murphy’s combination of smalltown charm and great selection. “For such a small store, they have everything we need. The family vibe makes Murphy’s very different from the other grocery stores.” He especially enjoys the produce, Humboldt Grass Fed Beef, Brio Bread, Jim’s BBQ Sauce, and Murphy’s impressive ice cream selection. The deli, meat, dairy and produce departments are also favorites, and Jim gives the store’s customer service a “10 out of 10.” Supporting local businesses is important to Jim, especially because Murphy’s gives so much back to the community through local schools, youth sports, Girl Scouts, community organizations and local employment. “Murphy’s is a social meeting place. I see so many friends and neighbors here. It’s a local hub, and it feels good to support a store that supports our community.”

A Stage of Wonder Sitting on the Kellogg bench as so many have done before with waves and ripples easy to see, I think those who’ve paused in this space did not fall into the futile game of worry but danced on the playful stage of wonder. — Keith Carmona
Prepatriarchy Editor: Those who were intrigued by Barry Evans’ “An Estruscan Venus and the Patriarchy” (Aug. 27, 2026) might enjoy checking out the work of Marija Gimbutas. She was an archeologist who, when she entered the field, started actually investigating myriad female figurines that male archeologists had casually tossed into drawers, dismissing them as “fertility” tokens for ancient women. Her work provides extensive evidence of woman-honoring, pre-patriarchal Western societies. Gimbutas’s work is fascinating and enlightening. Amber Marcia, McKinleyville
Invitation to film: American Doctor Editor: Even though it’s supposed to be very difficult to watch, I’m intending to see the recently released film American Doctor at the Minor Theatre on Sept. 16. I hope that you will join me. The film is about three U.S. doctors, Jewish, Zoroastrian and Palestinian, who voluntarily go to Gaza to try to save as many lives as possible. The film follows them from when they were being bombed in a Gaza hospital to Washington, D.C., to talk with members of Congress about their experiences. International reviewers are already highly praising this film. Regardless of one’s political alignment on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, seeing this film will be a stark reminder of how horrific the atrocities the innocent people of Gaza have been facing, how our national media has minimized the conflict and our national leaders have failed by allowing
this genocide to continue. I encourage all of us to be informed and stay engaged in the plight of the Palestinians. No matter how hopeless things feel, there is power in speaking out against injustice. Kate McClain, McKinleyville

The Good and Bad News at CPH’s Fall Welcome By Mark Larson
newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
A
fter attending decades of welcome-back fall meetings at the former Humboldt State University, I found it interesting to watch President Richard A. Carvajal at Cal Poly Humboldt, the ninth president and first Latino to lead CPH after being president of Valdosta State University from 2017 to 2025, in his first ever Fall Welcome event on Monday, Aug. 17. He also shared budget news and serious concerns about projected fall student-enrollment numbers of interest to the campus and the community. This enrollment news used to affect me greatly as a faculty member, but a flat or declining CPH enrollment will affect our community as well. Carvajal didn’t sugarcoat serious concerns about projected fall student-enrollment numbers. Peggy Metzger, interim vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Success, first shared the good enrollment news: CPH has had four straight years (eight semesters) of small enrollment increases since 2022, unlike declining enrollments at many Cal State University campuses. The bad enrollment news: There are 100 fewer first-time freshmen enrolled at CPH this fall compared to last year. Metzger closed with the question: Will the string of eight consecutive semesters of small increases of enrollment growth at CPH end this fall? (The official final enrollment numbers will be available around Oct. 1.) Mike Fisher, vice president for Administration and Finance, was next to share news about budget and capital project updates. CPH begins the 2026-27 fiscal year with a “balanced operating budget” of $184.3 million, a 5.1 percent increase from last year. One of the big completed capital projects was the new artificial turf replacement in Redwood Bowl and the New Engineering and Technology Building nears completion in time for spring semester 2027. “The university budget is balanced and well positioned for 2027-28 and beyond,
6 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026 • northcoastjournal.com
but we need to be disciplined,” said Fisher optimistically. He emphasized that enrollment growth and new income resources are needed for CPH to move toward future budget stability. But does CPH really begin the fiscal year with a “balanced” operating budget of $184.3 million? It turns out the budget is “balanced” partly using anticipated revenue from projected enrollment growth of 3 percent in 2026-27 (along with a final installment from the historic $458 million investment of polytechnic funding and new CSU allocations to CPH). Given the announced enrollment projections of very little to no enrollment growth for 2026-27, CPH may be looking at balancing this year’s budget with additional budget cuts. The atmosphere at the Fall Welcome next took on an even more somber note as Carvajal said CSU and state research into the Humboldt campus and region uncovered “numerous concerns” about CPH’s future, starting with enrollment: Where will tomorrow’s CPH students come from? Carvajal said because Humboldt’s pipeline for future student prospects is more challenging than at other CSU campus locations, “we must continually work in the future to get a bigger piece of a shrinking pie [of potential students] to grow enrollment numbers or to even remain flat.” In a big change at CPH, there was no mention of the oft-repeated past projections that CPH would soon be growing to enroll 11,000 students. Carvajal outlined the challenging reality of shrinking numbers of high school graduates: • The North Coast region (Humboldt, Del Norte, Lake and Mendocino counties) had only 3,094 high school grads last year. But only 33 percent of them had completed the required coursework for admission to a CSU campus (the lowest percentage of any region in the state). The number of high school graduates in the North Coast region is projected to drop another 15.5 percent in
the next 10 years (second worst drop for a region in the state). • Statewide, the number of high school graduates is expected to decline by 9 percent in the next 10 years and only 54 percent of those high school grads are expected to pursue going to college. Fewer than half of that 54 percent are expected to have completed the required coursework for admission to a CSU campus. • As for the Los Angeles region, the source of the largest share of currently enrolled CPH students, its numbers of high school graduates are projected to be down nearly 20 percent in the next 10 years (the worst drop for a region in the state). To plan for those enrollment projections and other campus concerns covered at the rest of the meeting (including the four- and six-year graduation rates), Carvajal said his administration will create a new Strategic Planning Council as well as a new Community/Regional Advisory Group. But before ending the meeting and in keeping with his style of seeking feedback from any individual or group he meets, Carvajal asked for help on two questions from those in attendance: “It is a given that we want prospective students to come here, but what can and should Cal Poly Humboldt do better than any other similar college or university those prospective students might consider?” “Our institution is proud of its strong relationship with Humboldt County, but the state of California and the CSU are funding Cal Poly Humboldt to be Northern California’s polytechnic university. In what ways can and should we positively impact this entire region we are funded to serve?” Since CPH’s future affects us all, let’s offer any good ideas in response to those questions to President Carvajal. l Mark Larson (he/him) is a retired Cal Poly Humboldt journalism professor and active freelance photographer who likes to walk.

Condors of the North Coast With a new cohort’s arrival, 31 prey-go-neesh are now flying free in the skies By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com Members of the North Coast flock gathered inside the holding pen during annual exams of the birds. Courtesy of the Yurok Tribe
T
wo decades ago, the Yurok Tribe began working to honor the request made by a council of elders for the bird they know as prey-goneesh to once again soar over their ancestral lands. By then, the California condor had been absent from the skies for more than a century, meaning generations had gone without seeing the massive bird boosting a nearly 10-foot wingspan and capable of riding thermals hundreds of miles in a day flying overhead. As in many Indigenous cultures, the condor is sacred in Yurok tradition. Believed to be among the Earth’s first creatures and the one who carries their prayers to the Creator, the bird also joins in the tribe’s World Renewal ceremonies to bring balance back to the world through the gift of feathers, which are used in the dancers’ regalia. After years of meticulous planning, the first birds arrived in 2022, marking the inauguration of the Northern California Condor Restoration Program, a partnership between the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks. Joining in the homecoming were tribal elders, including some who made the original decision to return prey-go-neesh to Yurok lands. Before those four condors were released, the last local sighting was in 1892 after their numbers were decimated by settlers who poisoned and shot the birds. Today, there are 31 birds flying free on
the North Coast, with the newest fledglings on the block taking their first foray into the wild over the last few weeks, joining a flock already in progress and forging a new path for the endangered species. According to updates from NCCRP, the seven recent arrivals are “doing fantastic” and “flying exceptionally well,” finding roost sites at night and returning to the release site to feed and socialize as they get their previously untested wings under them in a new environment. While still teetering on the edge of extinction, the North Coast flock alone is now larger than the entire wild population back in 1982, when only 22 remained flying free in a small pocket of mountainous area in Southern California. Five years later, the last ones were placed into captive breeding programs in a race against time to save the largest land bird in North America. Over the intervening years, the California Condor Recovery Program has seen success stories. From those handful of birds, there are now around 600, according to the 2025 status report released by US Fish and Wildlife Service in February. More than half of those are soaring on thermals at release sites operating in California — including Big Sur and Pinnacles — as well as Arizona and Baja California, Mexico. The NCCRP is the latest to join the fold, marking the first restoration program in
the upper reaches of the condor’s previous range, with the eventual goal of acting as a gateway for the birds to continue spreading their wings into the Pacific Northwest. And, ultimately, for all California condors to reach the status NCCRP Manager and Senior Yurok Biologist Chris West has described as “birds without tags,” able to live life without human intervention or having their wild numbers bolstered by yearly releases of captive-hatched birds. But for now, the NCCRP will continue to reintroduce one cohort of prey-goneesh every year for around the next two decades. With every California condor now in existence one of the last survivors or a descendant, there are several birds in the North Coast flock with family ties — some closer than others. There are also lineages connected to the recovery program’s most iconic birds, including Toga Toga, the first condor ever taken into captivity and a keystone player of the captive breeding effort. Among the current roster, there are a few sets of siblings sharing at least one parent while others are products of what’s known as double clutches, where the first egg laid by a captive breeding pair is removed, prompting the couple to often produce a second egg in a single year in effort to bolster condor numbers. Now established for four years, the North Coast flock is entering a new era. That includes the original birds settling into
adulthood, their heads taking on the colorful array of butter yellow, salmon pink and lilac that denotes a coming of age, bringing hopes the first wild-born prey-go-neesh in 130 years will arrive soon. Meanwhile, new birds coming on board each year are able to meld into the highly social but hierarchical network of those already here, gaining from them valuable condor knowledge needed to navigate the place they now call home. Here’s a brief look at each of the condors that has reclaimed a place on the lands and in the skies of Yurok Country, fulfilling that wish made decades ago for prey-go-neesh’s return, although, for some, their time here was short. Mentor Condor 746: Gone but not forgotten, this 12-year-old male played a crucial role in helping to raise several cohorts of the North Coast flock, instilling in them the basic rules of what it means to live in condor society. He has since moved onto another assignment. While 746, also known as Paaytoqin, which in Nez Perce means “come back,” will never soar up into skies like his charges, he left a lasting impression during his time here, including dropping the first locally sourced condor feather to be used for Yurok regalia in more than a century. A0: The first female condor since about the late 1800s, she was given the name Ney-gem’ ‘Ne-chween-kah (She carries our prayers) after taking her inaugural flight in Continued on next page »

the spring of 2022. Born March 31, 2019, at the Oregon Zoo, A0 marked a major milestone earlier this year by laying the region’s first condor egg in more than a century, heralding the beginning of a new era for the fledgling flock. A1: The other half of the NCCRP’s first breeding pair, A1 — also known as Hlow Hoo-let (Finally, I/we fly) — hatched at the World Center for Birds of Prey on April 9,
2019. While their initial attempt was unsuccessful, there are hopes A0 and A1 will try again, potentially producing the first wildborn prey-go-neesh to spread its wings over Yurok ancestral lands in generations. A2: Emerging from his egg on March 8, 2020, at the Oregon Zoo, A2 was the second condor of the flock to fly free into the wild, following just behind A3. The male just now coming of age for the late blooming birds was bestowed the name Nes-kwe-chokw (He returns or He arrives), which Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department Director Tiana
Williams-Claussen described at the time as representative of “the historic moment we just underwent.” A3: First out of the gate on May 3, 2022, was A3. One of the more dominant birds, Poy’-we-son (The one who goes ahead, “leader”) hatched May 24, 2020, at the World Center for Birds of Prey. Earlier this year, A3 was observed making mating overtures toward the next oldest female, A7, and, according to a NCCRP staffer, she “didn’t seem totally repulsed by him.” A4: Part of the cohort released in fall of 2022, A4 was described as a confident bird ready to see what the outside world had to offer when his time to fly arrived. Called Cher-perhl So-nee-ne-pek’ (I feel strong), A4 briefly took the job as mentor bird for B0, B1 and B2 in the summer of 2023 while A6 was recovering from lead poisoning, the single greatest threat to condors in the wild. He hatched on April 29, 2021, at the World Center for Birds of Prey. A5: Intelligent birds with distinct personalities, Willliams-Claussen noted at the time of their release that A5 was “a bit milder” than A4 and “more prone to a watchful approach, observing the world around him, and taking opportunities as they present themselves.” Born May 12, 2021, at the Oregon Zoo, A5 received the nickname Neee’n, which means “Watcher.” A6: It took several attempts before this male hatched at the Oregon Zoo on May 22, 2021, decided to venture out of the release pen. Called Me-new-kwek’ (I am bashful or shy), A6 resumed mentoring duties for
the 2023 cohort after receiving treatment. Several other condors at the time were also found to have elevated lead levels after they also fed on the remains of a poached elk shot with lead ammo, which was believed to be the toxin’s source. A7: The second oldest female in the flock, A7 received the Yurok name He-wechek’ (I am healthy/I get well) after being released following minor surgery to remove what appeared to be an embedded bone fragment that caused an infection in her jaw. Born at the World Center for Birds of Prey on June 2, 2021, this one has apparently caught the eye of A3, but time will tell whether things move beyond displays of the condor mating dance. A8: A8 took flight with A9 in October of 2024. The two were released a year late and a bit out of order due to a delay in receiving the avian flu vaccination after an outbreak beginning in 2022 resulted in the deaths of 21 members of the Southwest flock. A8, a male, was born at the Oregon Zoo on March 15, 2022. A9: Just weeks after his first foray into the wild, A9 was found to have potentially lethal levels of lead poisoning during the birds’ annual fall exam, a time when the entire flock is brought in for not only a hands-on assessment but a chance to make any needed repairs to the satellite transmitters and identification tags. After undergoing weeks of intensive treatment, the male hatched at the Oregon Zoo on March 31, 2022, returned to the skies. At the time, West described the moment as “pretty

covering 380 miles, making it almost to Redding then crossing over northern Trinity Alps and Marble Mountain Wildernesses before turning north and nearly reaching Medford. Arriving back on May 16, B9’s sojourn “expanded the NCCRP flock’s range by 25 miles north and 35 miles east.” C0: Hatched at the World Center for Birds of Prey on April 8, 2024, this female’s mother was also sired by Toga Toga. Shortly after arriving in September of 2025, NCCRP staff noticed swelling in her wing and the bird was transported to the Oakland Zoo for further care There it was determined C0 had “likely impacted something with her right wing hard enough to chip the radius bone.” After returning two weeks later, C0 was later released. C1: Sharing a mother with A7, C1 emerged from her egg at the World Center for Birds of Prey on April 13, 2024. C1 was released
along with C2 on Aug. 26, 2025, the first two of the largest cohort to date to take flight. C2: A year younger than sibling B8, C2 hatched at the World Center for Birds of Prey on April 14, 2024. A male, C2, together with B8, B9, C0, C1, C3, C4 and C5, brought the flock’s numbers to 25. C3: This male has some family ties to the flock’s original mentor. The 40-year-old father of C3 is also the father of 746’s mother. Born at the World Center for Birds of Prey, C3 hatched on April 14, 2024. C4: Debuting on April 30, 2024, also the same breeding facility, C4 was released along with C3 on Sept. 12, 2025. The young male quickly learned some lessons in the complexity of condor hierarchy after he “tried to exert some unearned dominance and was reprimanded by some of the older, more established birds,” according to a post by Yurok Tribe.
C5: After becoming the 22nd condor to fly free over the North Coast, equaling the same number that were once left in the wild, C5 received the name Ruer-owoo’-moh (Together we sing) to mark the milestone. “There’s still a lot to do to bring this world back into balance, but today our hearts sing,” Williams-Claussen said at the time. C5, a female, hatched on May 2, 2024, and was raised at the World Center for Birds of Prey. C6: One of the newest cohort, this female emerged from her egg on March 16, 2025, at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and took her first flight on Sept. 4 along with C9 and F1. C7: C7 arrived from his shell on March 21, 2025, also at the San Diego Safari Park. It wasn’t exactly clear when this female was released but it was sometime between Aug. 25 and Sept. 4.
C8: The third of this group to take flight, C8 went out solo on Aug. 26. Born March 23, 2025, this male shares parents with FO, who was born a little over a month later, indicating C8 was the egg removed to induce a double clutch. C9: A male hatched April 9, 2025, at the San Diego Safari Park, C9 is also a double clutch, in this case with F1. The two were fathered by Sisquoc, the very first California condor to ever be hatched at a zoo. Emerging on March 30, 1983, his egg was brought from the wild and incubated at the San Diego Zoo, an original member of the recovery effort. F0: Born May 1, 2025, F0 — as noted above — has the same parents as C8. Along with F2, F0 was the first of this year’s cohort to take to the skies, with the two female birds described as “quickly darting out of the release facility” on Aug. 25.
F1: Taking his time to take to the air, F1 was released on Sept. 4 along with C6 and C9 but seemed a little more reluctant than the others to make his way outside. According to the San Diego Safari Park, where the male was born May 11, 2025, double clutches like his with C9 are done when “condor genes are underrepresented in the population, so their eggs are particularly important.” F2: This female hatched at the San Diego Safari Park on May 31, 2025, and took her inaugural flight with F0. According to updates from the NCCRP, all the birds in this cohort appear to be adjusting well and getting their bearings here on the North Coast. l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the assistant editor at the Journal.

Nobody Wants Your AI Food By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
N
ot the sunrise-tinted sandwich with its eerily symmetrical drippings of melted cheddar. Not the glossy, alien billboard burger or the frothy not-beer a program spit out. And for the love of all that occurs in nature, not the unholy crustacean nightmare ring I encountered in a local ad. There are so many reasons to reject the generative AI that tech companies and the billionaires that push it in every arena are selling us. But local food businesses, I am begging you, for your own survival and what is left of our appetites, drop AI in the trash like a used pair of food prep gloves. Some of what feels wrong about AI images, aside from their oft-used zombie apocalypse mud-tinting, is their sameness. The design folks in our production department pointed out to me how text and images in AI ads tend to be of equal weight everywhere, instead of composed with a center, focus and balance in mind. The food is like that, too, but with a creepier sameness that defies natural variation, feels wrong and easily tips over into the grotesque. Bread with perfectly uniform holes isn’t bread anymore. If you see bread like that, don’t touch it and definitely don’t fucking eat it. Keep in mind that AI’s “learning” and “creating” model is essentially theft of human work. It steals from the images, writing and creativity of people until it starts cannibalizing the content AI has excreted out after digesting that work. This is probably why so much AI food imagery ends up looking like idealized fast food, which, as we all know, never looks like the real thing. It’s a fake of a burger and fries that were catfishing you to begin with. Even when the
12 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026 • northcoastjournal.com
hand holding it doesn’t have six fingers on each hand, nobody trusts that burger. Outside of Arcata’s city limits, we seem content to let corporate food chains take over, pulling in money from both local and visiting diners, and sending their cash back to headquarters out of town and out of state. (Local moratoriums on chain operations could cap that effect but we seem to have less appetite for that.) AI ads, menus and posts that blend in with homogenized corporate food only make local restaurants fade further into the background, hiding their individuality and personal touches. I’d say I’m telling you this because nobody else will, but hon, everyone has been telling you. Look online and see the blowback everywhere. Nobody wants these cursed images. Every time it’s the same: “Hire a local artist/photographer.” And the business owner says they can’t afford it. Many can’t, fair enough. But that doesn’t mean you have to use a technology that’s actively stealing from and destroying the livelihoods of those artists and photographers. Nobody is watching the cost of food go up more closely than those in the restaurant business, and nobody is more aware of how carefully people are spending their money when dining out — or not. Considerations like the ethics of AI use, whether based on environmental impact or intellectual theft, are part of the calculation in conversations online and in person. There’s not a single AI version of whatever you’re cooking, from chow mein to gyros, that doesn’t look better photographed with your grill cook’s phone next to the window with a paper plate held up to block the direct glare. That you can afford. And

it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be real. That’s what we love: the little burnt edge stuck to the lasagna tray, the avocado starting to make a break for it sliding out of a BLAT, the uneven crack when the spoon breaks into a crème brûlée. We love crumbly, messy, joy. The best meals of our lives are not perfectly lit. The best chocolate chip cookie you ever ate did not have perfectly spaced chips and even edges. Feeding one another is such an utterly human act of care. Even stranger to stranger, a takeout bag passed across a counter, it can be a little connection. Recall those days during the peak of the COVID pandemic when that exchange might have been the
only one you had in a day, whichever side of the counter you stood on. To strip the food we make, the labor of our hands, sometimes made from the recipes of our families or our people, of its character and its connection feels like a waste and an insult. Write your menu on a chalk board. Put it on a napkin in pen. Take a photo of that sandwich on a paper plate and share it. We’re hungry for the real thing. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the managing editor at the Journal. Reach her at (707) 442-1400 ext. 106, or jennifer@ northcoastjournal.com.

ost! Again! Glints of sunlight streaked the trail and the oldgrowth trees on either side stood as silent as snow. As I wandered deeper and deeper into the forest along tiny threadlike paths, surrounded by more sorrel than I’d ever seen in my life, I felt as if I was in a fairy tale and that an elf might leap out from behind a tree. I had no idea which way would lead back to the car, but what a place to get lost. I was deep in the maze-like Greig-FrenchBell Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Although the grove is lacking in signs, I wasn’t worried about being lost because I always eventually hear a motor or glimpse light from the Avenue of the Giants. Or I end up next door at the Drury-Chaney Loop, a quarter of a mile north. Despite its beauty, the Greig-FrenchBell Grove gets less foot traffic than the rest of the park because it’s located at the quieter northern end of the Avenue, farther from the Visitor Center and popular tourist areas like Founders’ Grove. The grove’s lack of prominent signage, restrooms and ample parking space make it less convenient and is probably why I rarely encounter other people there. But if you want to immerse yourself in churchlike solitude, this is your place. The grove is particularly stunning for the hilly mounds of sorrel framing its paths. The abundance of this groundcover is due to the grove’s location in an especially saturated section of the Avenue. The fog moistens and nourishes the tiny sorrel plants as they grow in close bunches to compete for light. A few years ago, the original loop trail was blocked by a massive debris pile caused by fallen trees and can no longer be fully walked. The Humboldt Redwoods trail crew leaves debris piles to naturally decompose to protect the trees and groundcover. Clearing the fallen trees would require heavy machinery that could damage the root systems of the redwoods and destroy the sorrel, the grove’s unique feature. Even

without the original trail, though, there’s plenty to explore, because an extensive web of unofficial, winding narrow paths runs throughout the grove. And it has another eccentric feature. As you enter the grove, a sign reads, “Access Trail to Thomas A. Greig, Enoch Percy French, Wilfred Brown Bell.” Walk along the trail to the left, where you’ll reach a marker for the start of the loop trail. After about a quarter of a mile, you’ll pass a sign for the Enoch “Percy” French Grove. Soon you’ll come across a grove of redwoods and the bizarre “girdled tree,” the bark of which was stripped and removed for display at an exhibition booth at a San Francisco convention in 1901. Despite the harsh removal, the tree survived and is actively regrowing its bark. You can sit on a bench nearby and gaze at its bald exposed trunk, pondering the lengths people will go to prove a point. In the case of the girdled tree, its bark was stripped and shipped to San Francisco to showcase the scale of the coastal redwoods to the public. Many people outside California doubted stories or photographs of ancient redwoods, assuming they were a hoax or a tall tale. One of the men who stripped the bark
was a Pacific Lumber surveyor named Enoch French, for whom the grove was named. He later became the superintendent of Humboldt Redwoods park district. The Greig-French-Bell Grove, which takes less than 30 minutes to walk, is kid-friendly, although dogs or bikes are not permitted. I recommend wandering aimlessly and retracing your steps whenever you reach a dead end. Go ahead and get lost. You may accidentally end up in the Drury-Chaney Loop, which is much more organized and has a well-defined trail — a 2.5-mile loop — that will give you more of a consistent workout if you want. This loop is also beautiful, with vegetation more similar to the rest of the park, but not quite as enchanting as its neighbor. The Greig-French-Bell Grove is about 40 minutes from Eureka. Take U.S. Highway 101 South for about 34 miles to the Barkdull Road/Pepperwood exit 671, turn left to cross under the highway, and make a left onto the Avenue of the Giants. The grove is about a half mile ahead on your right. l Louisa Rogers (she/her) is a writer, painter and paddleboarder who lives in Eureka and Guanajuato, Mexico.
SETLIST
Land Speed Record By Collin Yeo

T
he title of this week’s edition comes from Minnesota punk pioneers Hüsker Dü’s intense 1981 concert album, after the group had — allegedly — discovered a performance-enhancing drug that sometimes goes by the second word in the said title, but before they essentially invented pop punk. It is a rough and wonderful crash course of a record, and everyone should give it a listen. I was revisiting it while typing this column out because I got held up by some Labor Day idylls and found myself having to move a little faster than usual. Music is a great performance enhancer for that, and between that record and 1994’s Transilvanian Hunger by Darkthrone — Norwegian Black Metal’s answer to Motörhead — I believe I have set a deadline record of my own. So things are sleek, loud and fast this week. See below if you wish to take a spin or two on the track.
Thursday Francis Vanek is a Pennsylvania-born but West Coast rambling ace saxophonist of the latter-day jazz genre. He is bringing his Quartet back to the Basement tonight at 7:30 p.m. for an evening of the good stuff that will heal what ails you for a mere $5.
Friday I have been told by my friends who tend to know about such things that there is a singer/songwriter in the modern Americana style who is bringing his sound back to our county for anyone with the vision and funds to catch a $25 ticket to his 7 p.m. gig at the Arcata Playhouse. The Marty O’Reilly Trio is the name of the ship he helms, and the vessel from which his travelin’ tunes are turned from dreams into expression. Dig it.
Saturday As regular readers of this space are aware, I tend to avoid reporting on the bigger festivals in favor of gems and treats for those who wish to stray a bit “far from the madding crowd.” So instead of filling
in line-up boilerplate about Cannifest, which is happening in Crab’s Field next the Arcata cop shop, I’ll make two quick points. The first is that Garberville still has a nightlife, and you can see what that’s all about at Stone Junction tonight when cumbia masters Makenu and DJ Blancatron take over the joint around 9 p.m. ($15). The second point is simply that all laws are completely make-believe and generally weaponized against the underclass in this country, especially drug laws. Oh, and as an addendum, fuck the police.
Sunday I recently had a blast and reconnected with a childhood mate when I went to a movie night at the Shanty to watch part of an early Abel Richard B. Simon reads at the Miniplex on Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. Ferrara flick presented Submitted by Wild Billy Burgess, the silver screen slasher. playing in the background. I recommend Tonight at 8 p.m. he and his cohorts in Eberhard Weber’s 1979 ECM Records release Movie Party Tonight are showing the 1974 Fluid Rustle. Kung Fu Blacksploitation flick TNT Jackson, starring Jeanne Bell as a woman on a misTuesday sion to recover her lost brother from the Author, professor and music journalist clutches of a Hong Kong street gang. Fun, — yes, we aren’t extinct yet — Richard fun, fun, and free at the door, so find a seat B. Simon will be reading from his novel and plant a butt, or stand in horse posture The Dolphin Ambassador’s Daughter at as I often do while typing to keep the glutes the Miniplex tonight. Local dream-team tight into the future. supergroup Winter Band and Seraphina Monday from Seattle will be providing some lovely musical interludes. The show starts at 7 Snorefest. ZZZ. Boring. Stay home and p.m., but the Richards’ Goat bar opens at read something cool, perhaps with a record
5 p.m. and it is Taco Tuesday which is quite a pre-show delight. Tickets are $15 at the door, $12 in advance.
Wednesday There are a few unrelated bands across the nation who roll under the trailer park mansion moniker TripleWide. Our regional version will be jamming a free show of some loose, good time rock tunes at the Local Cider Bar tonight at 7 p.m. l Collin Yeo (he/him) is a friendly maniac.

SCREENS
Onslaught Shoots Wide of the Mark By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com ONSLAUGHT. The trailer for A24’s Onslaught had plenty of flashing signs indicating “slasher movie ahead.” And yet, the plot, as much as a splatter-fest requires one, specifies a former Army sharpshooter defending her daughter when they stumble upon genetically rigged killing machines. How could I keep from getting geared up for a woman-on-a-mission/mom-against-the-world action movie, particularly one starring the excellent Adria Arjona? Onslaught, being directed by Adam Wingard, was even more encouraging given the gutsy and gory surprise of You’re Next (2011). True, the promos featured more arterial spray than artillery, but even that could be a tension-filled good time at the movies with all these elements. However, the underused talents of the cast, plot elements that go nowhere and ultimately empty villains add up to a hollow finished product. We get the shape of a fun action-horror — unkillable foes, barren landscape, creepy scientists and punchy side characters — but only the usual superficial treatments without the edgier interrogation and genre expansion the studio has led us to expect from it. We open on the rocky desert, where Celeste (Arjona) is shooting jack ’o lanterns with a stack of weapons, using the prongs of a stoneless wedding ring to pinch herself into focus and out of PTSD-driven fugue states as needed. She’s an ornery hermit and a divorced military veteran, cleaning her stockpile of guns (legal and otherwise) and managing the Windy Oasis trailer park, banging generators and collecting late rent money from the misfit tenants like wily fellow veteran Josiah (Reginald VelJohnson). Surprised with a visit from her young daughter Daisy (Blake Kennedy), she shifts into awkward mother mode. Elsewhere in the desert, other, odder domestic dramas play out as Hans Kammler (Dan Stevens, convincingly transformed) — a balding, albino remnant of Operation Paperclip, the post World War II program through which the U.S. government brought Nazi scientists into the country, equally devoted to his steely wife Hanna Kammler’s (Rebecca Hall) feet and his experiments creating super-soldiers — heads for work. By helicopter, blindfolded, as you do. At his super-secret desert lab,
which happens to be a tumbleweed’s roll from the trailer park, his demonstration of said super-soldiers — hulking war criminals and a seemingly unkillable man, all given night vision, bulletproof bodies and total control over their cardiovascular systems — goes awry. Well, awry in the sense that the trio of revenant killers are on the loose, mowing down whomever they encounter, though civilian casualties seem less of a concern to Kammler than the leaking of their existence. And so the high-production sex club scene government hitman Cyrus (Drew Starkey) is enjoying, along with a heavy dose of MDMA, must be interrupted for him to track down and deal with the mess. The bleach-browed pro (big day for platinum kinksters) is nonplussed by the whole thing as he follows the bloody trail, though that could be the lingering ecstasy. After nightfall, the super-soldiers finally make their way to the trailer park and make their assault, met by Celeste and Josiah. Does that feel like a long way to go before we get to the showdown? It is. There’s action as the super-soldiers take out regular men during the demonstration, but despite the blood, it’s quick, cold and not terrifically engaging. There’s no question of the outcome and nobody to root for in earnest. The tension picks up at the Windy Oasis, and there are some genuine jumps (I may have made a respectable squeak) as the killers tear through trailer walls and pop through windows unexpectedly. Once in escape mode — trying to get to a car, trying to cross between buildings — the usual problems create the usual drama, and there are classic moments of horror humor and one-liners. But is there much point to creating the super-soldier plot if they’re just going to strike a backlit pose like every other masked killer gang, equipped with the same gun, cleaver and chainsaw? Granted, the military-style assault on a store filled with unarmed civilians is joyless and grim — more stomach-turning in its reality than escapist, really, in our present day. But surely there’s some more creative option. Wingard’s You’re Next (2011), pitting an unexpectedly prepared woman against faceless assailants, is relentlessly paced and inventive, with an interesting and resilient character at its center. Given that film, it’s hard to accept
Per my last email. Onslaught
this is all he’s got to offer in Onslaught. Just like Celeste’s cache of weapons we never get to, there’s more to the mother and daughter’s relationship that we never get into, and there’s more to Celeste herself. Seeing Arjona’s performance as a wounded revolutionary in Andor (2022), it’s easy to imagine how much more she could have done given more space in the role of Celeste. And why make Celeste a sharpshooter if you’re not going to have her do that much shooting or give her access to all the guns she’s been hoarding? Why build up the freaky hitman investigator if he doesn’t do anything a contract killer intern couldn’t cover? For that matter, why cast MMA fighter Alex Pereira as one of the super-soldiers if you’re not going to give him any standout fight choreography? Onslaught isn’t without its moments, but it could have been worth all the cleanup. R. 92M. BROADWAY. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the managing editor at the Journal.

FIELD NOTES
She heard, for the last line: “And Lady Mondegreen.” Thus “mondegreen” was born, and it’s now found in most dictionaries. Pop and rock music have been rich sources of mondegreens, the most notorious, perhaps, coming from a 1976 hit by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Most of us heard, “Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche when you’re rollin’ in the night.” What the South African singer Manfred Mann (who had a lisp) really sang was, “Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.” Now it gets complicated. Mann had changed Bruce Springsteen’s original lyrics, “cut loose like a deuce.” This resulted in the Boss later joking that his song took off only when it was rewritten to reference a feminine hygiene product. So, what’s this “deuce?” Muscle car enthusiasts, I’m told, consider the world’s original hot rod to be the 1932 Ford Model B with a V8 engine, nicknamed “the deuce” after the two in 1932. Other oft-cited favorites include: • The girl with colitis (“kaleidoscope eyes”): John Lennon’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” • The ants are my friends blowin’ in the wind (“The answer, my friend”): Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” • There’s a bathroom on the right (“bad moon on the rise”): Creedence Clearwater Revival, “Bad Moon Rising” • Then a man with a law degree stood by her side/And promised her he’d take her for his bride. (Sorry attorneys.) Helen

Reddy and Tanya Tucker’s “Delta Dawn” was actually jilted by “a man of low degree.” • Electric boobs, her mom has two (“Electric boots and a mohair suit”): Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets” • All the lonely Starbucks lovers (“Got a long list of ex-lovers”): Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” Authors have taken advantage of well-known mondegreens. Vivian Walsh’s children’s book Olive, the Other Reindeer derives from “all of the other reindeer” in that awful Christmas song. Then there’s Ed McBain’s mystery novel, Gladly the CrossEyed Bear. (If you ever sang “Keep Thou My Way” in church, you’d have warbled out, “Kept by Thy tender care, gladly the cross I’d bear.”) Language scholar Steven Connor considers mondegreens the “wrenchings of nonsense into sense,” as our brains make assumptions when they’re otherwise stumped. That is, we hear what we want to hear. Case in point, Richard Berry’s R&B 1956 song “Louie Louie,” which was made into a hit with incoherent lyrics a few years later by The Kingsmen, and since recorded by just about everybody. Incoherent it may have been — lead singer Jack Ely was wearing braces and had to stand on tiptoe to reach the boom mic — but that didn’t stop a small army of righteous souls from hearing mondegreen-style obscenities. They were so vocal that both the FCC and the FBI investigated. Neither made a ruling, with the FCC finding the lyrics “unintelligible at any speed.” Meanwhile, a deputy prosecutor in Marion County, Indiana (prompted by the state governor, whose “ears tingled” while listening to the record) offered this flattering review: “The record is an abomination of out-oftune guitars, an overbearing jungle rhythm and clanging cymbals. In fact, the record is an indictment of the taste of the American public. But I couldn’t say one way or another whether the lyrics are obscene.” l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9 @yahoo.com) wants to hear about your best mondegreens.

suspect everyone has their favorite “mondegreen,” a misheard word or phrase which is usually more fun than the original. For instance, check my title against that annual journalism and literature award. The word mondegreen was coined by Sylvia Wright in a 1954 Harper’s Magazine essay. As a child, Wright had misheard a line from the old English ballad “The Bonnie Earl o’ Moray,” doubling up the body count. Instead of the original:
