UPDATE

North Coast Journal Changes Ownership

T

he North Coast Journal Inc. — a media company that includes the 15,000-circulation weekly newspaper and website, plus nearly a dozen publications serving Humboldt County, California — has been sold.

The buyer, Melissa Sanderson, 37, took over as president and publisher March 31.

She has worked for the company since 2014, first as sales manager and the past three years as general manager.

The sellers are two long-time friends and business partners, Judy Hodgson and Carolyn Fernandez, who purchased the newly established monthly newspaper in June of 1990, converted it to a weekly in 1998 and launched a string of successful, hyper-local publications. Those include the Insider, a quarterly tourism magazine; the annual Menu of Menus and Wedding Guide; and more recently, the bi-monthly North Coast Trader, a classified paper that reaches six coastal counties in California and Oregon. One Journal publication launched in 2017, the Humboldt Cannabis Magazine, is distributed twice a year to dispensaries throughout California.

Over the past three decades, the Journal has won dozens of major awards from the California Newspaper Publishers Association and the Association of Alternative Newsmedia for writing and reporting, design and photography, as well as numerous freedom-of-information awards. The newspaper has been recognized numerous times by the Society of Professional Journalists and the League of Women Voters.

While preparing this press release, Hodgson and Fernandez realized they actually had been working together for 45

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 1, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

Clockwise from top, former Journal owners Carolyn Fernandez and Judy Hodgson, new owner Melissa Sanderson and her husband Chris. Submitted years. Hodgson wrote a column, “Fieldbrook Footnotes,” for the Union weekly newspaper in Arcata beginning in 1976 while attending Humboldt State University (HSU). She graduated in 1978, joined the staff as a reporter and from 1983 to 1988, served as editor. Fernandez joined the Union in 1976 as a graphic artist, later becoming head of the production department. Both left in 1988 after a change in ownership and, in 1989, worked together again at an advertising agency before purchasing the Journal. The paper was immediately rebranded and redesigned from a quarter-fold into the magazine tabloid format that exists today.

The two now-septuagenarians had been searching to find just the right “next owner” of the Journal for more than two decades. “We are super happy to sell to one of our great employees and a fourth-generation Humboldt County woman half our age,” Hodgson said. (Fortunans may recognize Sanderson’s maiden name of Huber and the Senestraro branch of the family.)

Sanderson has been in publishing since grade school. She made copies and distributed the Fortuna Spartan to all the classrooms in fifth grade. At Fortuna Union High School, where she “majored in at least four sports” as well as FFA, she was ad manager for the Husky Howler and wrote a sports column for Fortuna’s weekly newspaper, the Humboldt Beacon.

After graduation, she attended both College of the Redwoods and HSU at the same time. She married her husband, Chris Sanderson, and landed her first professional job in the marketing department of the new Bear River Casino in 2005. She

was an account rep for the Times-Standard and then managed a radio station until joining the Journal in 2014.

Most new owners of a news media company hope to reassure readers and say they will not change a thing, and then things do, which is what happened at the Union in 1988, according to Hodgson and Fernandez. But Sanderson said she really means it.

“We have strength throughout the company — in sales, design and production, and support staff,” she said, but particularly in the award-winning editorial department.

“It’s a great publication. We have a strong mission statement. We do really good journalism for this community and I want to keep that going.”

Sanderson said her strengths are on the business side of publishing, with a focus on marketing and digital, and she is confident in the Journal’s future.

While there were some layoffs and furloughs last year due to the pandemic, the Journal is back up to 21 employees.

Circulation, which dipped from 21,000 to 12,000 when many businesses closed and tourism shut down, is back to 15,000.

Sanderson said she is grateful for the federal Paycheck Protection Program loan that helped the company retain employees during the pandemic.

Her plans for 2021 are “to concentrate on growing the Journal, for sure, and help other local businesses” recover and grow.

The Journal’s glossy publications, including the Insider magazine, were suspended during the pandemic. They are expected to return to newsstands this year. l

Editor: In Georgia, the GOP controlled state Legislature just passed a new more restrictive election law tailored to deter Democrat voters. Among other things, it makes it illegal to hand out water to individuals while they’re standing in line on Election Day, regardless of the heat. The GOP knows that traditionally the longest lines are in the urban districts, which tend to be predominantly black and vote heavily Democratic.

If such a restriction were placed on individuals prohibiting them from passing out water to pets while waiting in line at a vaccination event, it would be considered cruelty to animals.

So what might one say appropriately about the Georgia law?

Perhaps rename it the “Cruelty to Urban Voters Act” in honor of how little the state legislature actually cares about its voters in the urban districts.

Looking for McKinley

Where is the statue? Only the Timken Foundation knows

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

T

wo years have passed since the statue of President William McKinley was taken off his pedestal on the Arcata Plaza in a quiet pre-dawn operation and, since that morning, the bronze work has remained out of public view.

After being placed on a cushion of tires in the back of a flatbed truck for the 2,600-mile trip due east to McKinley’s longtime Ohio home back in March of 2019, barely a trickle of information has been forthcoming from the Timken Foundation of Canton, the official procurer of noted artist Haig Patigian’s sculpture.

“The statue has been relocated to Ohio and the foundation has restored it at its own expense,” Executive Director Mark Scheffler said in statement this week, responding to Journal questions about the statue. “It is currently in storage in a secure location. It will be moved to the Canton area for public benefit once a suitable location has been identified. We do not plan on having further comment.”

One of the few public glimpses of the McKinley statue since it left Humboldt County was an article with photographs done by an Ohio art conservation center, detailing the extensive restoration process that Scheffler mentioned.

And the pictures showed a marked transformation.

Gone is the patina — cast by time and decades in the North Coast’s elements — as are the vivid sea-green splotches left by an apparent acid attack that occurred just a few months before the sculpture’s departure. After the statue was returned to its original tannish coloring, a coffee-brown wax layer was applied to protect the bronze work underneath.

But the art conservation center recently took down the piece about McKinley’s September 2019 makeover, as well as accompanying social media posts, after the Journal asked for permission to use some of the photographs in a story as the anniversary of the statue’s removal from the Arcata Plaza approached.

Originally, the director wrote back to say he would “have to check with the responsible entity for permission to release

images.” But within two days, the page’s link resulted in a “404: page Not Found” message.

Why? It’s not clear.

Neither Scheffler nor the art conservancy responded to Journal questions about the article being taken down.

But suffice to say, McKinley looks quite different than he did back in February of 2018, when the Arcata City Council made the decision on the statue’s disposition — the culmination of more than a decade of efforts by removal advocates who viewed McKinley’s likeness sitting court in the town’s center as a vestige of American imperialism and genocide.

The last push gained momentum in late 2017 as a national conversation swirled around what should be done with historic monuments to once honored figures with legacies now seen by many as symbols of colonialism, white supremacy and slavery.

As Arcata wrestled with that question, some deemed the 1906 statue of the nation’s 25th president, which survived the Great San Francisco earthquake and stood on its plaza perch for more than 100 years, simply part of the city’s history — for better or worse. But most felt the statue should go.

In the end, another year would pass before the Arcata City Council sat down in February of 2019 to make the final call on McKinley’s future. On the table were four offers to take the statue off the city’s hands.

One was from a resident who offered to assist with the costs of moving the nearly 9-foot sculpture to a local private or public site, with the Eureka Veterans Hall expressing interest. Another was from the owner of the Fountainhead Auto Museum and Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks, Alaska, whose wife grew up in town, with the offer to pay all relocation coasts and to come retrieve the statue. A third was from a person described in the city’s staff report as “an anonymous donor,” who would pay all of the city’s costs to move the statue to the East Coast where it would join a private collection with other works by Patigian, as well as pieces related to McKinley’s presidency.

The last was a pitch from the mayor of Canton, Ohio, who had put together a working group — which included the Timken Foundation — to find a way to bring the statue to the city where the Civil War veteran is buried at the McKinley National Monument, which is located near the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum.

“We promise that the statue will be displayed in a manner most befitting President McKinley, the grandeur of the statue, its history in Arcata and our appreciate to the city of Arcata,” Canton Mayor Thomas Bernabei wrote in a letter, saying the city’s offer would meet Arcata’s “stated desire that this beautiful statue find a public home where it will be well-maintained, appreciated and honored.”

He offered $15,000 to reimburse Arcata for removal costs — coincidentally the exact amount Arcata rancher George Zehnder paid when he commissioned Patigian to create the statue as a gift to his adopted city in remembrance of the president felled by an assassin’s bullet in 1901.

The council decided to take Canton up on its offer, with then Councilmember Michael Winkler — who originally voted against its removal — saying the public had made clear both at the ballot box and via input that McKinley no longer had a place in Arcata, or even Humboldt County.

“I think that Canton, Ohio, is the most appropriate place for it to go,” he said.

With his fellow council members in agreement, the direction was given to remove the statue as quickly and safely as possible. Eight days later, McKinley came down and by March 8, 2019, the Timken Foundation had signed a purchase agreement.

City Manager Karen Diemer said she hasn’t heard any additional news since being notified of the statue’s safe arrival in Ohio. As to why ownership was transferred to the foundation rather than the city, she said her understanding is that “was always the arrangement,” with the foundation handling all the paperwork and logistics for transporting the statue.

“They did do quite a bit of work,” Diemer said.

The mayor’s office in Canton referred all queries about the statue to the foundation and did not respond to follow-up questions about the arrangement.

So what is the Timken Foundation of Canton? It’s a private nonprofit founded in 1934 by the children of Henry Timken — a carriage maker who created a spring that produced a smoother ride in 1877 and designed a tapered roller bearing in the 1890s that improved the vehicles’ performance.

Both became intensely popular — and profitable.

By 1899, he and his sons had founded The Timken Roller Bearing and Axle Co., which evolved into the present day Timken Co. and TimkenSteel, businesses with global reaches in the markets of steel and bearings, which continue to serve as major economic drivers in Canton.

Since its inception, the Timken Foundation of Canton has given hundreds of millions of dollars to myriad causes across the world and in its own backyard, including $13 million in 2018 alone, according to tax records. But the foundation appears to eschew publicity.

There’s no website outlining the Timken family legacy and the foundation’s history, or any social media accounts touting its charitable works. Instead, most of the information available online about the foundation comes from tax records, news articles and mentions in press releases of grant recipients.

“We don’t generally seek recognition,” Ward J. “Tim” Timken Jr., a foundation trustee, told the Canton Repository in 2017, speaking generally about his family’s long history of civic engagement. “We do it to give back to the communities.

We were taught to be low-key. We don’t flash around town in Lamborghinis and Ferraris.”

While there appears to be no final decision at this point about where the statue will again be put on display, the city of Arcata’s agreement with the foundation stipulates a place in “visibility of the public” for “community benefit” somewhere in Canton, with one of the locations previously batted about being the Stark County Courthouse, where McKinley once practiced law.

If for some reason a public placement is not possible, the agreement provides Arcata a first right of refusal to purchase the statue back for the price of $15,000, which seems unlikely considering the previous course of events that led to the statue’s removal in the first place.

So, at least for now, it appears McKinley’s status remains much like that of former Vice President Dick Cheney in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks: He’s residing somewhere at an undisclosed but secure location until a suitable placement is found. l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the digital editor at the Journal.

Task Force Seizes 5K Fentanyl Pills After Overdose Reports

T

he Humboldt County Drug Task Force reported March 30 that it had made a handful of arrests and seized more than 5,000 counterfeit Percocet pills containing fentanyl after a weeks-long investigation initiated after multiple fentanyl overdoses were reported in the Hoopa Valley.

According to a press release, the investigation started March 5 when a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy working in the Trinity Valley reported to the task force a potential overdose death attributed to pills known on the street as “perc30,” which were allegedly being sold

by Christian “Punky” Colegrove, 23, and a 17 year old. A little more than a week later, a 13 year old reportedly overdosed after taking the same pills but was revived when responding officers used Narcan.

The investigation reportedly led to Anthony Dion Medina, 24, of Eureka, who was allegedly picking up “large quantities” of pills in the San Jose area and then selling them in Humboldt County. After a surveillance operation, task force agents reported observing Medina returning from

a trip to San Jose along State Route 299 when he stopped in Willow Creek to meet Colegrove and Warren “Pops” Sloan, 23.

Agents contacted the men and served a seach warrant on Medina’s vehicle and reported finding a total of 5,002 “perc30” fentanyl pills. A passenger and an infant were also in Medina’s vehicle, according to the press release.

When agents served a search warrant at Medina’s residence in Eureka, they reported finding a number of firearms — including a 9 mm “ghost gun” with a 30-round magazine drum — and more than 8 grams of cocaine.

Local officials have become increasingly concerned about fentanyl locally, as it has been linked to an increasing number of overdose deaths, following a national trend. After being found in one overdose victim locally in each 2016, 2017 and 2018, the coroner’s office found fentanyl in at least seven of the county’s 46 overdose deaths in 2019.

“Something changed,” Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Sam Williams told the Journal last year. “It’s a marked difference.”

More COVID-19 Deaths: Two more Humboldt County residents — both in their 80s — died after being diagnosed with COVID-19 this week, bringing the county’s death toll to 36.

Amid declining case numbers and the steady ramping up of vaccination efforts, the deaths offer a sobering reminder that the pandemic remains far from over. Posted 03.29.21

For many, today is the day they’ve been thinking about for more than a year, the day they can take that first necessary step toward to pre-pandemic life.

Dennis Chase, 68, and his daughter Sara Gossi, 41, both of Fortuna, stand in the shorter “second shot” line, waiting for their chance to get to the front and receive their second and final jab of the Pfizer vaccine. They were alerted to the Mad River vaccination clinic by Gossi’s inlaws. Chase is a rancher, Gossi a grocery store worker.

“The first time I was nervous,” Gossi says. “I’ve heard you can get sick. A friend got sick afterward. But this time, no problem.”

Next to them, Leena Dallasheh, an associate professorat Humboldt State University, says she got her first shot at a College of the Redwoods clinic.

“I’m really happy to be finally getting the shot,” she says, saying there was some confusion about whether she and her colleagues were eligible but it was resolved.

“If I have an appointment, do I have to stand in this line?” asks one person.

“No,” she replies. “If you have an appointment, your dose is reserved. You can come back later if you need to.”

“I have my mom’s insurance card, is that OK?” asks a college-aged young man.

No problem, Martin says.

“I don’t have any insurance,” says another young man.

“That’s OK,” Martin says.

building to the school gym, where David Neal, Mad River’s chief nursing officer is bouncing slightly on the balls of his feet, greeting each person as they walk through the door. The Rolling Stones plays on a Bluetooth speaker beside him. Behind him are seven folding tables with colored pieces of paper taped to their edges. A staff member sits at each waiting to process paperwork.

“Hi there! Pink one,” says Neal, glancing at the woman’s paperwork. He points to the first table, where a pink piece of a paper has the words Pfizer 1 on it. The staff member at the table waves the woman to her, eyes smiling above her mask.

The grade school gym is full of people, some sitting at tables with their sleeves rolled up as nurses administer the vaccine, others on the bleachers and folding chairs waiting for the required 15 minutes to pass before they can leave. A nurse walks through the waiting crowd, checking in to make sure no one is having an adverse reaction. There is a low buzz of conversation from the nurses and their charges, but the voice that rings out above all in the large space is Neal’s.

“Hello, hello,” he says, ushering in a husband and wife duo. “You two can go in together. How long have you been married? I like to ask the husband first, to see if he knows.”

ON THE COVER Continued from previous page

Mad River Community Hospital Staff scramble to scan IDs of people waiting to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the Pacific Union School in Arcata on March 28.

The pair laughs and go to where a woman at the “Pink Two” table is waving.

“This is my 10th Saturday in a row,” says Neal, whose responsibilities include coordinating with the county and St. Joseph Healthcare, as well as a local pharmacy, to allocate, distribute and store doses of the vaccine. He says the staff have been “just amazing.”

“We’ve all been working six-day work weeks since January,” says Neal. “I don’t mind. It’s the right thing to do for the community. It’s what got us into the orange zone.”

Of the 49,378 vaccine doses that had been administered in Humboldt County as the Journal went to press March 30, Mad River was responsible for giving 12,433 of them, roughly 25 percent, mostly through Saturday clinics. While the vaccines come to the hospital free of charge and insurance companies offer modest reimbursements for administering them, Martin said they don’t cover the full costs, even with all management level employees essentially donating their Saturdays to the cause.

It’s 9:15 and the blonde woman who was at the back of the line at the beginning of the morning has now reached the gym.

Behind her are the child dressed as Mario and his mother.

“Mario’s in the house,” says Neal. “Hey, Mario!”

Mad River was the first healthcare facility in the county to administer the vaccine.

Neal received a call from county health officer Ian Hoffman on Dec. 15 alerting him to the availability of some Pfizer vaccine.

“I said, ‘Let’s do it today,’” recalls Neal.

“My staff looked at me like I had a forked tongue.”

But by the end of the day, the hospital had administered 12 doses to hospital staff. They rolled on from there, using the county’s database and their own network of clinics to sign up patients as they became eligible through the state’s tiered system. Pacific Union School responded to an MOU for a mass vaccination site, offering its gym, which Neal calls “ideal.” The

gym, which sits next door to the hospital, has been equipped with a wifi booster to help staff enter patient information into the CAIR system as swiftly as possible. The most challenging aspect, Neil says, was figuring out reimbursement through various insurance providers. (The federal government pays for the vaccine but individual insurance policies cover the injections.)

Working shoulder to shoulder with Neal is Jordan Patterson, the hospital’s human resources and clinic manager.

Patterson has worked at Mad River since she was 15 and says she “wouldn’t miss a Saturday even if [she] had to,” but is concerned about a looming deadline: On April 1, Blue Shield will officially take charge of the state’s vaccination process in a third and final wave of counties, including Humboldt. The insurance company will require real-time entry of patient information into the CAIR system, which Patterson and others are concerned will slow the process significantly, especially in rural areas with technology gaps and laggy wifi.

“Everyone will have to have a computer,” says Patterson, referring to the nurses and staff administering the doses. “I think it will bring our allocation down to a third.”

Neal and Patterson take a beat to coo over a chihuahua tucked into a woman’s front pack carrier. Neal waves her to “Pink 3.” It’s 10:30 and the line through the school parking lot has overflowed onto the sidewalk, curling back on itself against the fence of the clinic driveway next door.

An elderly man sits patiently in his car reading a book as he waits for a volunteer to come escort him up the steps. Neal, Patterson and the rest of the staff will be here until 3 p.m. Neal expects he will be hoarse by the end of the day.

“I’m the orchestra leader,” he says, clearly beaming beneath his mask. Another couple comes through the door and Neal asks how long they’ve been married.

The man says 21 years. His wife contradicts him, saying no, 22 years. Neal laughs at the mischief he’s caused.

Just outside the door, the hospital’s

MEDICARE QUESTIONS? County Readies to Ramp Up Vax Efforts As the Journal went to press March 30, the official tally held that Humboldt County residents had received a total of 49,378 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, with 14 percent of the population fully vaccinated and another almost 10 percent having received a first dose.

According to an analysis by the Washington Post, those numbers trail the national average (15 percent of the population fully vaccinated with another 14 percent partially vaccinated) and state (15 percent fully vaccinated, with another 15 percent having received a first dose).

Local officials have said repeatedly that supply remains the limiting factor in local vaccination efforts, and that doses are being administered almost as quickly as the state is delivering them. When deliveries ramp up, so will vaccination numbers, they say.

And there’s some reason to hope that may be coming soon. In anticipation of increased supply, the state has announced it is expanding the pools of those eligible for vaccinations, with residents age 50 and older becoming eligible April 1 and everyone age 16 and older being cleared to receive their shots beginning April 15. But that’s a massive pool of people and officials have also cautioned it will take weeks, if not months, to get everyone vaccinated who wants to be.

And to a huge extent, supply will determine how quickly the process moves.

California is expected to receive 2.5 million vaccine doses a week this week and next, and move to 3 million doses a week by mid-April — significant increases over the 1.8 million weekly doses the state is currently receiving.

In anticipation of receiving more vaccine doses locally, the Humboldt County Joint Information Center issued a call for volunteers March 29, looking for people to both put shots in arms and fill support roles should supply reach the point where

CEO, Doug Shaw, stands next to yet another folding table, taking clipboards as patients pass through and wiping them down with disinfectant.

“This is a record,” Shaw says of the day’s turnout. Prior to using the school gym, the hospital was doing daily clinics. It worked at streamlining the process to be as efficient as possible, writing special software to assist staff. “We pride ourselves for doing it differently. Once we got it down, we didn’t stop.”

HICAP Counselors can help

the county can hold massive vaccination clinics. But to date, that hasn’t been needed, and the reality is that far more people have been eligible to receive vaccines than there have been doses and appointments available.

But rollout of vaccination efforts has been uneven, leading to some frustrations.

While Mad River Community Hospital continues to hold large-scale vaccination clinics on Saturdays, St. Joseph Health paused its efforts in anticipation of Blue Shield taking over state allocation duties this month. And while some providers like Redwood Rural Health Centers in Southern Humboldt and Open Door Community Health Centers have expanded the pool of eligible patients beyond the county’s guidelines in an effort to get vaccinations in arms, patients of other providers who meet the county’s criteria — which are based on who’s at greatest risk of exposure or critical illness — have been unable to get appointments.

In a March 30 media availability, Humboldt County Health Officer Ian Hoffman said that with tens of thousands of local residents expected to become newly eligible for vaccinations in the coming weeks, he’s directed local providers to focus on prioritizing older residents and those aged 16 through 64 with underlying medical conditions that make them high risk.

“You always keep focus on those highrisk folks and then open it up to lower (risk people) if we can’t fill the clinics,” he said.

In an availability last week, Nurse Practitioner Lindsey Mendez, who is a member of the county’s vaccine task force, stressed that while some residents may prefer a certain vaccine or clinic, Public Health’s recommendation is simple.

“If you are offered a vaccine, we recommend that you take it,” she said.

Officials are still urging residents to register to receive the vaccine at www. humboldt.gov (or call 441-5000) and contact their primary healthcare provider.

As Shaw speaks, a man sitting backward on a rolling walker pushes himself the final few feet to the door. Neal greets him, assists him in getting turned around and to a waiting staff member.

1 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 4 eggs Preheat the oven to 450 F. In a 2-quart pot, combine the butter and water. On a piece of wax or parchment paper, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Bring the water and butter to a rolling boil, remove from heat and dump the flour mixture in all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon or paddle to incorporate.

Return the saucepan to high heat and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. The mixture will form a ball and coat the pan with a thin film.

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl or standing mixer equipped with the paddle attachment. Mix the dough on low speed for a minute or so to release some of the heat. Add the eggs one at a time, completely incorporating each one before adding the next. Beat until the dough gets thick and ribbon-y. The dough will seem like a slippery mess at first but it will come together.

Fit a pastry bag with a round No. 5 tip and fill with the warm dough. Line a heavy cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pipe 1 ½-inch or 2-inch mounds about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden and puffed. Reduce heat to 350 F and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and there are no

droplets of moisture in the crevices. Turn off oven and leave the choux to dry for another 10 minutes. Use when cool, or freeze, wrapped in a plastic bag, for 2 to 3 months.

Cut the top of the baked dough puffs off. Using a pastry bag, fill the bottom half with whipped cream. Put the top back on and either dust with powdered sugar or top with ganache. You can spoon the ganache over the cream puffs or drizzle it on with a pastry bag.

he canopies over the patio at Northtown Coffee flutter above a half dozen people having a late Monday breakfast. Sunshine slants onto picnic tables where diners in beanies and sunglasses hunker over to-go cups, blueberry crumble bars and biscuit and egg sandwiches wrapped in checkered paper.

Inside, a red and yellow menu board hangs emblazoned with the Egghead menu — a handful of grab-and-go sandwiches with eggs, pork belly, greens, some with maple butter — and its logo, a cracked egg with glasses, drooling a little yolk. Beside the pair of glass cake stands packed with coffee cake and the covered tray of cookies is a stack of cards for Patches’ Pastries. But this is still Northtown Coffee, right?

The 22-year-old coffee joint has done more than adapt to COVID-19, it’s evolved into a three-part partnership, with owner Serg Mihaylo running the central coffee business and maintaining the building and utilities, and Egghead and Patches’ Pastries sharing the space under a profit-sharing plan rather than renting from or strictly working for Northtown. So far, the scheme, built upon experimenting with pop-up Egghead brunches at the café, has been mutually beneficial, bringing in customers and helping a pair of budding businesses get their start.

Kevin Dikes wears a white chef coat and glasses that bear a notable resemblance to the ones on the aforementioned cartoon egg. His biscuit sandwiches are a process — the pork belly takes three days from brining, to rub, to slow cooking confit-style, submerged in its own fat, and pressing it under a sheet pan with a brick on top. It’s worth it.

The flavor of the meat and the richness of the fat are amplified and yield to biting as easily as the creamy egg yolk and the biscuit, a bready rectangle that holds up under the meat, eggs and translucent threads of onion jam.

Raised in Arcata, Dikes served as head chef at Embassy Suites in San Francisco but his appreciation for biscuits and low-andslow cooking comes partly from his years working at Husk in Charleston, South Carolina. After returning to Humboldt, he tried pop-up dinners at Humboldt Bay Social Club but the pandemic put the kibosh on indoor dining. Northtown Coffee had space for

Small Fish Finds a Fishing Buddy

fter spending a month of my summer running off to Samoa Beach every chance I got to practice casting my line, fishing alone lost its luster. I had so many questions and theories building up in my head, I felt like I was going to burst if I couldn’t talk about it. I wanted to find someone I could share this learning experience with and decided to post on my Instagram asking if any of my friends would be interested in fishing together.

As time slowly passed, my anxiety started welling up. Will my friends in their early 20s bother with this “old man” sport? Will they have the time between school and their part-time gigs? My heart leapt when I saw a single reply. Ava Mark was a friend I’d met as a freshman at Humboldt State University and lost touch with when she moved to China to study for a year. She let me know she was back in Humboldt and just starting to pick up fishing, too.

And she offered to tag along next time I went out.

The rest is history. Mark has been there for many of my first successful catches — from squealing and wrangling a slippery monkey face eel together to flinching and fighting a flopping, spiny rockfish.

We collaborate on recipe ideas for our catches, tag team scouting new fishing sites and — the best part — cheer each other on when things get tough, which is often in this sport. I couldn’t have asked the universe for a better fishing buddy.

Shortly after I found my footing and started my adventures with Mark, I was picking up some hooks at Pacific Outfitters when someone mentioned they knew a guy named Yeng who was “a pro” and “the guy” to learn angling from. I thought it was just some person trying to hype up his buddy and didn’t pay much mind the first time, but then his name popped up again chatting with people while picking up more gear.

Legend has it, Yeng Thao is an incredibly skilled fisherman who knows all the techniques for any kind of fishing,

Tough Steelhead Season Comes to a Close

O

ne of the toughest and most frustrating steelhead seasons in many years close March 31.

From the Chetco south to the South Fork Eel River, and all the rivers in between, the fish just never showed up in numbers we’re accustomed to. No one knows for certain what caused the decline but it’s safe to say we’ll all be holding our collective breath when next season rolls around.

Now, as the calendar nears April, it’s time to change gears and look toward the next angling opportunity. The rockfish and Pacific halibut openers are right around the corner, and ocean salmon season will be coming in late June. It’s also time to start thinking about spring salmon on the Klamath (hopefully) and the lower Rogue rivers. There are redtails to be had from all the local beaches and the lagoons are full of trout. Steelhead season has been a real downer and I for one am ready to put this season in the rearview mirror.

welcomes back youth baseball programs McKinleyville Little League (MLL) is excited to be starting our 2021 season. The kids are more excited than ever to get started, after missing a full year of baseball due to COVID the excitement you see on their faces when they show up to the ball park is priceless. MLL has been working hard off season, getting all protocols in place so that we can get the kids outside playing a game they love with their friends.

I’m happy to work with so many wonderful volunteers that have stepped up to work hard to get these kids

back on the field! I am a firm believer that anything is possible with hard work. It is time for these kids to get back to their normal lives, I couldn’t be more proud of the McKinleyville Little League program for doing what is best for the kids in our community.

SCREENS

Shooting His Shot Boogie and Bad Trip

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

BOOGIE. Eddie Huang remains always on his hustle. The child of a sometimes troubled but ultimately fruitful marriage of immigrant entrepreneurs (Chinese by way of Taiwan), he grew up in the restaurant business, went on to a successful academic career, became a lawyer, lost that gig, started a clothing line, allegedly sold weed, opened a well-regarded restaurant (now permanently closed) and a less well-regarded one (also closed), wrote a memoir that became a successful TV sitcom (Fresh Off the Boat), distanced himself from the series for creative differences and has now written and directed a loosely autobiographical movie. I’m told he also maintains a formidable social media presence, among other ventures. So busy!

It would not necessarily be obtuse to ask what, if any, qualifications Huang might have to write and direct a feature with major distribution, even one with a modest budget and no major stars in the cast.

But that should be seen as a good thing, even if the movie isn’t all that great (which it isn’t). Boogie was announced (and presumably shot) pre-plague but it should be counted among the modest projects — a comforting number of which speak with previously woefully unheard voices — that have risen to prominence in the last year.

This has been, of course, largely a product of the tent-poles taking a breather until they can reap their accustomed profits in theaters. But their absence also serves to highlight the fact that these movies are being made at all, let alone released (either in theaters or via streaming services) to audiences at large. For an old-timer like me, it harkens back to the indie-boom (he typed wistfully) of the 1990s and even the new Hollywood of the late ’60s and ’70s.

Sure, technology has made these projects less financially risky, but even 10 years ago (five?) would a movie like this have been given a shot? Seems doubtful.

All of which is to say I support Huang’s efforts and his movie, even if I cannot fully recommend it. While technically proficient, with its own faintly sterilized aesthetic and version of New York City in place, it plays like a first effort, which I don’t intend as a damning criticism. It just may not be, like its protagonist, ready for the big show.

That protagonist, Alfred “Boogie” Chin (Taylor Takahashi), is an NYC basketball phenom. His father (Perry Yung), recently a guest of the state, has focused his energies on securing Alfred a college scholarship and a chance at the NBA. In service of that goal, Alfred has transferred to a prep school with a basketball program that, while struggling, will put him up against some of the other biggest talents in the city and, hopefully, attract the attention of Division-I scouts. Mrs. Chin (Pamelyn Chee), frustrated by her husband’s disregard for the family’s more immediate needs, simultaneously pursues other avenues for her son. Boogie, meanwhile, contends with the vagaries of new love, reining in his ego and the tumult at home.

All of which is well and good, fertile enough ground from which a compelling story might grow. But Boogie suffers from both immaturity and growing pains: Some of the actors, while raw and capable, clearly need a director who knows how to help them act for a camera. The lack of experience on both sides only serves to magnify the small discomforts and lapses in timing of people visibly acting. Narratively, Huang seems to want to combine the verisimilitude of the NYC street movies, by which he was clearly influenced, with a sort of numbed accessibility. The intent is admirable but he hasn’t adequately mastered the form to bring it to life on screen, which could also be said for the basketball sequences; promise abounds, but the maker has yet to embrace smallness and silence in service of tension and depth. R. 89M. STREAMING. BAD TRIP. No. 1 on the Netflix Top 10 doesn’t mean much, quantifiably. It would suggest, however, whatever takes that spot is being seen by people — like a lot of people. And so we have to assume millions (maybe?) of us watched Bad Trip. I say us because I certainly did and it made me laugh.

One would think (as I did) the Jackass road movie formula had come and gone, but in the hands of Eric André — whose confrontational comedy I call borderline psychedelic in a restricted-breath, reality-is-terrifying, trust-no-one kind of way — it takes on new life.

Chris (André) and his best friend Bud (Lil

That vaccinated feeling.

Boogie

Rel Howery) set off on a road-trip to New York from Florida, leaving behind dead-end jobs so Chris can profess his love to high school crush Maria (Michaela Conlin). They are pursued by Bud’s feloniously inclined sister Trina (Tiffany Haddish), recently escaped from prison, whose car they have borrowed without asking. The hook,

though, is that this storyline plays against the backdrop of innocent bystanders made participants in a series of (sometimes admittedly disgusting and low-brow) pranks.

Somehow it works. R. 84M. NETFLIX. ● John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

“Our Universe has not been fine-tuned for life: life has been fine-tuned to our Universe.”

— Klaas Landsman, The Challenge Of Chance

T

Not only can you mess with the physical constants of our universe, you can also tinker with the number of dimensions of time and space to emphasize, apparently, the unlikelihood of our existence. Creative Commons via Wikipedia

he fine-tuning of many of the “constants of nature” is offered as evidence for both the existence of God and of an infinity of universes beyond our own, aka the multiverse. It’s pretty weird both theists and physicists cite the same argument, both looking to support ideas that are neither provable nor scientific.

Here, I’ll try to show that the fine-tuning argument is spurious and has no bearing on your or my beliefs about God and/or the multiverse.

The constants of nature — there are currently between 19 and 25, depending on whose system you follow — are the foundations upon which everything depends: matter, time, space, life, right down to the existence of intelligent beings who probe them. They include well-known ones, such as the strength of gravity, and arcane ones such as: Plank’s constant (the “quantum” of quantum mechanics); the cosmological constant (the energy density of otherwise empty space); and so on. The fine-tuning argument claims values of these constants are really finicky; if they were other than what they actually are, we wouldn’t be here. In some cases, neither would the universe. So, goes the argument, either God must have had a hand in creating it all, or our universe — out of an infinity of them — happens to have just the right constants.

Take, for example, the fine-structure constant, upon which the strength of the electromagnetic force depends. It’s approximately (not exactly, as was once thought) equal to 1/137. If it were just a tad different, either the element carbon wouldn’t be present in the universe or stars (stellar fusion) wouldn’t happen, depending on whether you decrease or increase its value. No carbon, no life (probably); no stars, no life (for sure). The same applies to the other constants — adjust them a bit up or down, and atoms won’t form or the

universe won’t survive for more than a few thousand years. In particular, the conditions for life, at least as we know it, won’t be present. So the universe itself and our presence in it is really, really unlikely.

Do you see the flaw in this reasoning?

How can we know what’s likely or unlikely?

We have exactly one universe in our sample. To say something is “unlikely,” we need to know what “likely” is — presumably by checking a few other universes to see what their constants are, then decide if our universe is likely or not. Theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder likens it to seeing a pencil balanced on its tip — we’d look at it and say, “Wow! What are the odds?”

Because we’ve seen many other pencils lying flat, we know a pencil balanced on its tip is an anomaly. Since we can’t observe other universes to be able to say, “Wow!” we can’t say anything about the likelihood of our own universe. It’s just the way it is.

If you’re thinking “anthropic principle” at this point, you’re ahead of the game. The principle, in its weak form, says that the universe must be the way it is because we’re here to observe it. So — back to fine-tuning — this universe has to have the physical constants necessary to accommodate conscious life, otherwise we wouldn’t be here to observe it. (That’s known formally as a “logical truism,” or, less formally, “Duh!”) Finally, I should mention that there’s a wildly speculative, not to say narcissistic, strong form of the anthropic principle that says, in essence, that our being here means that the universe was somehow compelled to produce intelligent life. However, I understand you need to be chemically high to wrap your brain around that one. ● Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) notes that while the universe may allow for intelligent life, it’s hardly optimal — we’re here by the skin of our teeth!

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to fee and clear ownership of the prop− erty. 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 infor− mation. 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.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the trustee’s information line at (707) 444−9281. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement infor− mation is to attend the scheduled sale.

Carol Davis June 17, 1944 - March 13, 2021 Carol Davis was born in Los Angeles on June 17, 1944 and settled into the loving arms of Ray and Lorene Davis. She passed away quietly at home on March 13, 2021 in the care of her loving children.

A lively child and a curious teen, Carol’s parents had religion and music in abundance, so she grew playing piano and singing for the choir and church gatherings. When Aunt Martha, a socialite from Florida with a literary bent, came to visit she brought trunks of dress-up clothes, hats, shoes, a Ouji board and vitamins. The seeds of destiny are born in the child.

If there is a thru line to this special life, it is music. If there is a subtext, it is food. If there is a purpose, it is the happiness and welfare of children.

In 1962, Carol graduated high school and moved to Los Angeles to attend a Southern Baptist Bible College. While there, she realized she could also put her choir-trained voice to use in gay bars and brothels. Her repertoire expanded with her horizons.

Nobody quite remember exactly when she appeared in Arcata. Sometime in the early mid sixties, she left LA to take a job as a stage manager in Ashland Oregon. The fog was heavy in the trees and Humboldt was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. Arcata had a little college with a theater department and when she went to see about it, they were doing Theater of the Absurd. She passed up the job and stayed, studied under a fabulous theater faculty and with student actors and technicians pushing the envelope of the theatrical and the political, It was a heady time to be engaged in the arts.

In 1968 she and scene designing grad student David Brune married out at Rothrock’s with an after party held at the Pin Room which was always tolerant of hippies. The couple set off to Purdue in Indiana then to New Orleans following David’s work, of course, he being the one with the graduate degree. New Orleans suited Carol; she bore two swell babies there, explored its music and food scenes, and continued to return whenever possible.

Carol came back to Arcata without David and with two little ones: Catlin, a toddler, and Stuart, a babe in arms. They lived in a little apartment at Rothrock’s at first until she got work and on her feet when they moved to a little duplex on Grotzman Lane. The kids went to Centering School and then to St Mary’s for some discipline and the simplicity of the uniform. All children took to Carol.

She was an early cocktail waitress at the Jambalaya and often burst into a song or two after hours to inspire the clean up. She worked for a time a Plaza Design, pitched in at the Minor Theater Corp and took other jobs that were like mini play productions – a project to be organized, accomplished, and put away. She was utterly reliable and never left a mess behind.

Then she met Pat Conlin, her Irishman, and he liked her, and the kids liked him, so they became a family, sealed the match in 1977 at the Vet’s Hall, and what a party that was — the music, the food, the universal delight.

It was time for steady regular work, and Carol hired on with the Child Care Council where she applied her organizational talents to the well-being of children. Starting in the resource

unit, supporting the work of providers in the field, she later moved on to the abuse prevention unit, and worked directly with families. She was a dedicated, hard-working advocate for families and their kids, finding resources and options, being present in that way she had, so you knew she had all her attention directed at your problem. This work required great tenacity and heart. Carol had plenty of both. Co-workers from this time recall her generosity and warmth, the great food and fun which made their difficult work more manageable, but also her insistent curiosity and willingness to ask the tough questions, while holding everyone to an ethical client focus.

All through these decades they catered gatherings large and small for all manner of group events. The non-profit fundraising world relied on her good food prepared with little fuss, on time and at reasonable cost. She did much of the work from home, but could command any kitchen, keeping the volunteer help happily doing her bidding. She fed children at summer camps, worked memorials and reunions, workshops and anniversary parties. There was no job of work that offended her, and she never needed to advertise.

In about 1980 the Davis-Conlins bought a piece of land up above West End and started building a house. And what a house; it grew and evolved, opened up and out into garden and forest. Catlin remembers coming home late one night to find Pat with saws out, cutting in a new emergency window.

Carol’s design sense was spot-on and her working man indefatigable.

From this power center Carol began to research her origins and the practicality of opening a food business down town.

The birth family quest was successful, and she discovered, after years of searching, the slew of family she always expected to find. Sister Sue became especially close. This work answered lots of nagging questions and brought new avenues of affection to her. And by the end she knew a great deal, both good and bad, about adoption law.

The Pacific Rim Noodle House opened on I street between 10th and 11th and for a decade cooked up really good affordable take-out food, and employed and trained a steady stream of young foodies. Everyone hoped new owners would keep it going, but without Carol’s energy and connections, it was lost to food history.

In retirement, she still entertained and liked nothing so much as keeping the pot stirred and the conversation flowing. A great hostess is having a great time, and nobody had more fun than Carol. It radiated from her and was irresistible.

Pat died in 2016 and his absence was hard for her to carry, but she did. She bought a new hat and walked to town for some shopping and to meet and greet her many friends.

When she couldn’t drive safely, she stopped, and gradually her world grew close around her. Her memories like her voice remained strong.

Even as she lay dying (did you catch that, Aunt Martha?) those qualities of her character – curiosity, warmth, directness – remained. If she was vague it was only about things that didn’t matter. If frustrated, it resolved into acceptance.

When visited in her dying bed by a musician friend, she sang with him – Swing Low and If I Only Had a Heart and Summertime. He went to cheer her and she made him glad.

To quote the poet: “Our grand orchestra of liberation has dwindled to a funeral march, but with Sister Carol’s voice and a tambourine gone ahead of us, wherever we’re going, they’ll know some serious jubilation is coming.”

Sometimes a person comes to a town with no agenda, just a good heart and a pocketful of talents, and she makes the place different by her steady presence among us. Carol was like the beating heart of Arcata for about fifty years. This was her great gift to our time in our town. And the place is better for it.

Catlin and Stu hope to be able to celebrate Carol’s birthday June 12th at the Vet’s Hall in Arcata with her friends and good food and music. We’ll let you know what to bring.

ASTROLOGY

EMPLOYMENT

Free Will Astrology Week of April 1, 2021

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Send the secrets you could only tell a stranger. FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Playwright August Strindberg (1849–1912) was a maverick innovator who loved to experiment with plot and language. One of his stories takes place in a dream and the hero is the Christ-like daughter of a Vedic god. He once said that he felt “an immense need to become a savage and create a new world.” Given your current astrological potentials, Aries, I suspect that might be an apt motto for you right now.

APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. There’s no need for you to become a savage. In fact, it’s better if you don’t. But the coming weeks will definitely be a good time to start creating a new world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Who says all Tauruses are gentle, risk-avoidant, sensible, and reliable? Taurus author Mary MacLane (1861–1929), known as the “Wild Woman of Butte, Montana,” authored shocking, scandalous books. In I Await the Devil’s Coming, she testified, “I am not good. I am not virtuous. I am not generous. I am merely a creature of intense passionate feeling.

I feel—everything. It is my genius. It burns me like fire.” Can I convince you, Taurus, to make her your role model for the coming weeks? APRIL FOOL! I don’t think you should be EXACTLY like MacLane. Please leave out the part about “I am not good. I am not virtuous. I am not generous,” as well as the “I await the devil’s coming” part. But yes, do be a creature of intensely passionate feeling. Let your feelings be your genius, burning in you like a fire.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet Emily Dickinson had a good sense of humor, so she was probably making a wry joke when she wrote, “The lovely flowers embarrass me. They make me regret I am not a bee.” But who knows? Maybe Emily was being a bit sincere, too. In any case, I advise you to make a list of all the things you regret not being—all the qualities and assets you wish you had, but don’t. It’s a favorable time to wallow in remorse.

APRIL FOOL! I was totally lying! In fact, I hope you will do the reverse: Engage in an orgy of self-appreciation, celebrating yourself for being exactly who you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Provocation specialist Lydia Lunch is a singer and poet who’s skilled at generating interesting mischief.

She testifies, “My daily existence is a battlecade of extreme fluctuations where chaos clobbers apathy, which beats the s--- out of depression which follows irritability which slams into anger which eclipses ecstasy which slips through my fingers far too often.” In the coming weeks, Cancerian, I recommend you adopt her melodramatic approach to living the intense life.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t be like Lydia Lunch in the near future. On the contrary: Cultivate regal elegance, sovereign poise, and dynamic equanimity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1692, a Swedish man named Thiess of Kaltenbrun was put on trial for being a werewolf. He claimed to be a noble werewolf, however. He said he regularly went down to Hell to do holy combat against the Devil. I suggest you make him your inspirational role model in the coming weeks. Be as weird as you need to be in order to fight for what’s good and right. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. What I really meant to say was: Be as weird as you need to be to fight for what’s good and right, but without turning into a werewolf, zombie, vampire, or other supernatural monster.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ❝I want to hear raucous music, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine,” wrote author Anais Nin. “Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I want to bite into life.❞ All that sounds like perfect counsel for you to consider right now, dear Virgo! APRIL FOOL! I lied. Nin’s exuberant testimony might be an interesting perspective to flirt with—if the COVID-19 virus had been completely tamed. But it hasn’t. So I must instead suggest that you find ways to express this lively, unruly energy in safe and sublimated ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here are affirmations that will serve you well in the coming days. 1. “I am willing to make mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.” 2. “I am grateful that I’m not as judgmental as all the shortsighted, self-righteous people.” 3. “I assume full responsibility for my actions, except those that are someone else’s fault.” 4. “A good scapegoat is as welcome as a solution to the problem.” APRIL FOOL! All the preceding affirmations are total bunk! Don’t you dare use them. Use these instead: 1. “I enjoy taking responsibility for my actions.” 2. “Rather than indulging in the reflex to blame, I turn my attention to fixing the problem.” 3. “No one can make me feel something I don’t want to feel.” 4. “I’m free from believing in the images people have of me.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to author Kahlil Gibran, “If we were all to sit in a circle and confess our sins, we would laugh at each other for lack of originality.” But I challenge you Scorpios to refute that theory in the coming days. For the sake of your sanity and health, you need to commit highly original sins—the more, the better. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Save your novel, imaginative sinning for later. The truth is that now is an excellent time to explore the joyous and healthy practice of being extremely virtuous. Imitate author Susan Sontag: “My idolatry: I’ve lusted after goodness. Wanting it here, now, absolutely, increasingly.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming months would be a great time to start your own university and then award yourself a PhD in Drugless Healing or Mathematical Reincarnation or Political Metaphysics—or any other subject you’d like to be considered an expert in. Hey, why not give yourself three PhDs and call yourself a Professor Emeritus? APRIL FOOL! I’m just joking. The coming months will indeed be an extremely favorable time to advance your education, but with real learning, not fake credentials.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): After his Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain committed suicide, Capricorn drummer Dave Grohl was depressed for months. To cheer himself up, he wrote and recorded an album’s worth of songs, playing almost all the instruments himself: drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and vocals. I think you should try a similar spectacularly heroic solo task in the coming weeks. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Here’s my true and actual advice: Now is a time when you should gather all the support and help and cooperation you can possibly garner for an interesting project.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik told her psychoanalyst León Ostrov that if she were going to steal something, it would be “the façade of a certain collapsed house in a little town called Fontenay-aux-Roses [near Paris].”

What was so special about this façade? Its windows were made of “magical” lilac-colored glass that was “like a beautiful dream.” In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you, too, to decide what marvel you would steal—and then go steal it!

APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. Yes, definitely decide what you would steal—it’s important to give your imagination permission to be outrageous—but don’t actually steal it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve never understood the appeal of singer-songwriter Morrissey, especially since he began endorsing bigoted far-right politicians. However, I want to recommend that you adopt the attitude he once expressed in a letter to a friend. “It was a terrible blow to hear that you actually worked,” he wrote. “It’s so old-fashioned to work. I’d much rather lounge about the house all day looking fascinating.” Be like that in the coming weeks, Pisces! APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, you’d be making a silly mistake to lie around the house looking fascinating. It’s a highly favorable time for you to find ways to work harder and smarter. l
