• Monday, August 13 3:03

The new training tool is a big
step forward since some in the
industry have previously trav-
elled long distances to attend live
training sessions in a classroom
type setting.
By offering this training on-
line, ABC is helping licensees
and servers by increasing access
and making it easier to get train-
ing. Live trainings will still be
offered. ABC licensed businesses

terested in the training program

Earlier this year, the Cali-
fornia Legislature passed the
Responsible Beverage Server
Training Program Act. This new
law requires all alcoholic bever-
age servers and their supervisors
to complete an ABC-approved
training course in responsible
beverage service by July 2021.
ABC is currently developing a
program to approve training
providers and expects approved
providers to be in place by early
2021. ABC’s classroom and on-
line LEAD training will continue
to provide a valuable resource to
the industry until training pro-

McKinley battled the Confederacy and its slave-owning Indians
Judging historical figures
by modern standards
No one is born a bigot. Prejudice is not
an inherited trait. But the environment one
grows up in can obviously have a huge im-
pact on how one sees people of different
faiths, races and ethnicities.
It is perhaps instructive to note that Wil-
liam McKinley grew up in a religious fam-
ily and that religion was the foundation of
his worldview throughout his life. And the
religion he was taught was predicated on
the idea that all God’s children are created
equal. As all his biographers attest to, he
grew up in a strongly abolitionist family.
When the time arose to put those teach-
ings into practice, the young McKinley
did not hesitate to leave school at the age
of nineteen and volunteer to serve in the
Union Army, to preserve the republic and
end the greatest evil ever practiced on our
soil. He entered the service as a private and
as a result of battlefield promotions left the
army as a major.
He was later a Congressman, a gover-
nor, and U.S. president but when asked
how he wished to be addressed he replied,
“Major because I earned that. I’m not sure
about the rest.” Earned it, he did. He had
his horse shot out from under him. His ex-
ploits resulted in a monument to him at the
Antietam battlefield. Strange activities for
a “vicious racist,” no?
Again every McKinley biographer states
that he was progressive for his time on
matters of race and religion. His detrac-
tors correctly claim he didn’t do enough to
advance that equality as president. I agree
but neither did any president from Andrew
Johnson to John Kennedy.
While McKinley could have done more,
it should be mentioned that he spoke out
against lynching in the same year the Su-
OPINION
v LETTERS
preme Court ruled segregation to be the
law of the land. He also stood against the
virulent anti-Catholicism of the period,
exhibiting his ecumenical beliefs for all to
see. And he was an early vocal supporter of
women’s right to the franchise.
It is the worst kind of foolishness to
judge historical figures by contemporary
standards. I mean how was FDR on LGBT
rights? How about Eisenhower on same-
sex marriage?
Maybe McKinley directed his virulent
racism at indigenous people here and
around the world? Fyrhe Phoenix casti-
gates him for this but in truth, all McKinley
did was sign a bill passed by both houses
of Congress authored by a Kaw Indian,
Charles Curtis,who later became the high-
est ranking Native American in our history.
The law did have some deleterious effects
with respect to five tribes in Oklahoma but
that was neither the intent of Mr. Curtis
nor Mr. McKinley.
Since Mr. Phoenix and others have
hurled wild racism charges at McKinley
maybe it is a tad snarky of me to mention
that the leaders of two of those tribes, the
Choctaw and the Cherokee, were proud
slave owners who fought for the Confeder-
acy while McKinley risked his life fighting
for the Union to end slavery.
The historical record is far more compli-
cated than the fallacious morality play pre-
sented to the Arcata City Council “scholars”
and, again, I urge you to check out anything
I have written here, in the past, or in the
future. To be continued.

Meet the immigrant proprietor of Northtown’s Fairwinds motel

T
his week’s interviewee is Al
Lukiman, owner of North-
town Arcata’s Fairwinds
Motel and Arcata Chamber Mem-
ber for 31 years.
How long have you owned the
business?
I have owned it for 13 years. But
it first opened in the mid-1960s. I
had never been in the motel in-
dustry before, but I had a friend
in it and I thought, “I can do that.”
I searched on the Internet for a
place to buy and saw this place
and so I bought it and moved up
from Southern California.
What is a pro and a con of
owning the Fairwinds?
Pros are it’s very dynamic. You
meet new people every day. New
employees every year. Mostly em-
ployees are students and mostly
they are here for a year or two.
Cons are in the beginning we had
a lot of lot those “local” people

500 at this point.
What is it like doing business
in Arcata?
Very good business place to do
business here. You have to know
your customer. Half of this town
is students and you have to cater
to students or people in that age
group no matter what business
you are doing. If you can adjust to
that you will be fine.
Were there any certain books
or influences from your youth
that shaped your path?
I grew up in an environment
very different from here. I moved
to this country 30 years ago. I
come from Indonesia. The books
I read when I was younger don’t
relate to anything in this envi-
ronment at all. Mostly I read
the Kung Fu stories. There are
around 30 volumes. When I was
in college I remember reading On

Painting the town

CREAMERY COLLABORATION Arcata’s Creamery District held its “Paint the Town and Night Market” event Saturday night, with Pan Dulce Steel Orchestra, local art-
ists, a beer garden, live music, vendors and food. With help from artistic kids, local artist Haley Davis painted her original design at the intersection of Eighth and
L streets titled “Humboldt Camo.” Redwood Raks offered a Fusion Partner Dance with a lesson and dancing, Wrangletown Cidery poured its famous Hard Ciders
and fine wines, and Jefferson Ale House gave sneak peeks at its new space. The mission of the Creamery District is to create a vibrant, diverse community where
artists and entrepreneurs prosper. The current goals of the Creamery District are to promote the arts, support creative commerce and industry, to create a distinct
identity, to enhance public space and to be inclusive in planning and implementation. creamerydistrict.com photoS by moonlight macumber | union

WESTHAVEN – Drawn together in friendship over the
decades, the Representational Art League (RAL) is dedicat-
ed to the rendering of the beauty found in our everyday life.
Founded in 1987, the RAL has consistently provided the
community with shows that represent the unique beauty
of our community and landscape.
Members meet once a month to critique work, plan
community outreach and to prepare for upcoming shows.
For September, 14 artists will endeavor to share their
visions and inspirations at the Westhaven Center for the
Arts in a show titled “The Mundane and Magnificent:
Flowers, Gardens, Ocean, and Earth.”
Participating artists include: Vicki Barry, Pat Cahill,
Michelle Murphy-Ferguson, Susan Strope, Elsie Mendes,
Lois Andersen, Steven Lemke, Andrew Daniel, Jody Bry-
an, Paul Rickard, Dolores Terry, Julia Bednar, Camille
Regli, and recently passed Marj Early.
The community is invited to enjoy art and refreshments
on Sunday, Sept. 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Westhaven Cen-
ter for the Arts located three miles south of Trinidad at 501
S. Westhaven Dr. in Westhaven.

Broccoli Fritters with
Texan Queso
(serves 3-4)
2 stalks broccoli, hard
stalk peeled off, cut into 3
inch pieces, florets separat-
ed
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour (regular
white, spelt or GF all work)
oil for frying
Queso
1/2 cup cream
1 cup cheddar cheese,
shredded coarsely
1 cup monterey jack
cheese, shredded coarsely
1/2 cup onion, diced
(yellow or white)
1 jalapeno, minced (don’t
lose the seeds, they mellow
in the cheese)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup fire roasted
tomatoes, drained and
chopped (unless they are
already diced)
1 tablespoon flour (spelt
works along with white)
salt
pepper
Place broccoli in large
pot that will hold all of it
with water to cover; cover
and bring to a boil. Drain
immediately and set aside.
Once slightly cooled, chop
into 1/2 inch pieces. This
can be done up to two days
in advance.
Beat eggs and add to
broccoli along with flour
and stir well to combine.
The egg and flour should
make the broccoli begin to
stick together, but it will
still be chunky looking,
which is alright.
In a small sauce pan heat
sautee garlic, onion and ja-
lapeno in enough oil to just
coat bottom of pan, for 3
to 4 minutes until garlic
and onion begin to soften.
Add tomatoes and salt and
pepper and cook another
5 minutes until it starts to
smell blended.
Add cream and reduce
heat to low and stir occa-
sionally as cream almost
comes to a boil. Add chees-
es and stir to melt. Stir in
flour 1 tablespoon at a time
until it thickens to your lik-
ing. Taste for salt and set
aside on simmer.
Heat a large skillet over
medium heat. Add enough
oil to coat bottom of the
pan well. Scoop out broc-
coli fritter mixture, about
2 tablespoons, and drop in
pan, flattening it so as much
surface gets browned. Cook
on each side until browned
and crisp then serve imme-
diately with queso.
If you have a mini-fon-
due pot you can serve any
leftover queso over flame
with tortilla chips! Hugs!

SEX, DRUNKS AND ALLEGED INSANITY Humboldt County Historical Society research assistant Morgan Harvey pres-
ents “’Sex, Drunks and Alleged Insanity’: Interpreting Historical Criminal Records” at the Humboldt County Historical
Society program meeting on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 1 p.m., in the first-floor conference room of the Humboldt County
Library, 1313 Third St., Eureka. Admission is free, and everyone is invited. Humboldt County Historical Society re-
search assistant Morgan Harvey will describe the collection of Humboldt County Jail register books (1888 - 1949) she
has been working with since March. She will show how data from this collection invites researchers to position local
historical narrative within a more clearly defined context. Harvey has been transforming the historic criminal records
into a keyword-searchable digital resource with support from the Tracy Memorial Trust, a fund of the Humboldt Area
Foundation. Join Harvey for a demonstration of how data transferred from historical records may be interpreted, and
how this data may be applied to larger research questions about race, class and gender. For more information contact
the Humboldt County Historical Society at (707) 445-4342, or visit humboldthistory.org/.
