‘Stand Up to Hate’ Editor: On Sunday, March 21, Humboldt Asians & Pacific Islanders (HAPI) in Solidarity hosted a vigil, “Love Over Hate,” to honor and remember the victims of the tragic Atlanta shootings (NCJ Daily, March 25). This peaceful, thoughtful and loving walking vigil was held on the grounds of the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (HUUF) in Bayside. On behalf of HAPI, of which I’m a founding member, we want to acknowledge several organizations and 30plus volunteers who helped to make this vigil possible: HUUF Board and volunteers who co-hosted the event; Sun Valley Floral Form, which donated beautiful flowers; Cooperation Humboldt, which brought many volunteers to support and help; Gary Ronne and Humboldt Taiko for the beautiful rhythmic Taiko drumming; and the excellent photojournalistic coverage by NCJ arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and Dave Woody. Special thanks to Pat Girczyc for coordinating the many volunteers. In a letter written to the Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta organization (AAJC-Atlanta), we enclosed a cashier’s check (cash donations) and personal checks totaling $2,765.93. These generous donations were collected at the vigil for the families of the victims, to be distributed to them by AAJC-Atlanta. We are very appreciative of our community for its support, compassion and generosity. We are grateful for the many hours our volun-

Fun Fungi When hiking on a forest trail if duff is wet, and light is pale, late fall and winter, early spring, then comes the fruit that fungi bring. They pop from snags and fallen trees through dung and duff, new forms are teased, and inside each, protected there grow spores that someday take to air. Some look like Turkey tails and Rabbit’s ears, or Lion’s mane hung chandeliers, Pink-pimple crusts, or Witch’s jelly, Earth fans, rotten-cabbage-smelly. Black velvet tongues and Eyelash cups or Bleeding blue tooth may erupt. Capped mushroom shapes, you’ll find them, too, so many kinds make their debut, just watch for oddballs interspersed, for fungi’s kingdom is diverse. — Mary Thibodeaux Lentz

Four Years Later

With the Lawson homicide anniversary approaching, civil cases plod forward By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

ext week will mark the fourth anniversary of the fatal stabbing of David Josiah Lawson, a 19-year-old Humboldt State University sophomore whose still unsolved killings left fissures throughout the local community. Lawson died early in the morning of April 15, 2017, after he was stabbed multiple times — including once to the heart — amid a series of fights at an off-campus house party in Arcata. Kyle Zoellner, a then 23-year-old McKinleyville man, was arrested at the scene and charged with Lawson’s murder but within weeks a Humboldt County Superior Court judge had dismissed the case against him, finding there was insufficient evidence to hold him for trial. To commemorate the anniversary of Lawson’s death, celebrate his life and maintain public awareness of the case, Lawson’s mother, Charmaine Lawson, and other supporters have planned a five-hour event for April 17 that will feature a 4-mile “Justice for Josiah” walk and a fourth annual coat drive on the Arcata Plaza that will feature music and beverages. Those attending are encouraged to wear masks, abide by COVID-19 public health protocols and bring signs. The investigation into Lawson’s killing has been plagued from the start, as documented in reports by the Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury and the nonprofit National Police Foundation, which was contracted by the city of Arcata to investigate the police response (“Organizational Failures,” Feb. 27, 2020, and “The Reports are In,” July 30, 2020). Police made potentially crucial mistakes processing and controlling the crime scene, and were unable to find an eye-witness to the stabbing or substantial physical evidence tying a suspect to the killing. Further, during a hearing held to determine if there was probable cause to hold

Zoellner for trial, witness testimony depicted a chaotic scene with multiple violent altercations and accounts of what transpired that morning were often in conflict. A criminal grand jury convened in February of 2019 to hear evidence in the case voted not to indict anyone. Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn, who was hired in January of that year, just after the case had been turned over to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office, has pledged that his officers will keep investigating and has issued repeated calls and public service announcements urging anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, a pair of lawsuits filed against the city of Arcata stemming from the case continue to move through federal court, each containing dramatically different allegations that illustrate the extent to which the case has been seen through the lens of race, as Lawson was a Black man and Zoellner, the only suspect named to date by police in the case, is white. Charmaine Lawson has alleged in her suit that the city and its officials violated her constitutional rights to equal protection under the 14th Amendment by inadequately and incompetently investigating the case, alleging that racism and discrimination contributed to the city’s “deliberately indifferent” policies, practices, customs, training and supervision of officers related to the investigation. Further, Lawson’s suit alleges the city acted with “personal animus” toward her when it ignored or failed to act on recommendations by a former FBI agent brought in as a consultant on the investigation and that the city has an “established custom and/or practice” of treating homicides with African American victims differently than killings of their white counterparts.

NEWS Continued from page 7

The case had been slated to go to trial this year but the catastrophic Glass Fire in Sonoma County destroyed the home of Lawson’s lead attorney, Kyndra Miller, prompting both sides to agree to push the trial back to Nov. 29. A case brought against the city by Zoellner, meanwhile, alleges racism and discrimination of a different sort and, in some cases, what appears to be an entirely different set of facts, as it heads for a crucial hearing on the anniversary of Lawson’s death. On April 15, Edward Chen, a federal judge in the Northern District of California, is slated to consider a motion seeking to dismiss the bulk of Zoellner’s suit, which alleges police unfairly targeted him in the case because he is white, leading to his “unlawful” arrest, malicious prosecution, the denial of medical treatment, defamation of character and — more recently – attempted extortion. In a 69-page complaint laden with typos, repetition and apparent non sequiturs — this one amended for a fifth time after a federal judge gave him one last chance to fix deficiencies in legal theory — Zoellner argues that police arrested him at the scene of Lawson’s stabbing simply because he is white, while Lawson and many other of the party’s attendees were Black. This, Zoellner alleges, was part of a city policy dictating that people of color not be investigated for crimes committed within city limits. “In 2017, the police chief with the approval of the city managers … had implemented a policy of not investigating minority groups such as African American and Hispanics and students from HSU that are part of the minority groups listed above,” the complaint alleges. “Since Humboldt State University’s recruitment of minority students is a large driver of racial diversity in Humboldt County and accounts for half of the city’s population, this policy allowed HSU to recruit students of color, which in turn resulted in economic prosperity and greater population for the city of Arcata.” Zoellner’s complaint also alleges some “facts” that had not previously been in the public record and do not align with testimony at his preliminary hearing, though the complaint offers no evidence or sworn witness declarations to support them. Specifically, he alleges that a witness saw Lawson go into the house during his fight with Zoellner to retrieve a kitchen knife and that after Lawson was stabbed, his friends moved Zoellner, who had been beaten unconscious, closer to Lawson’s body and rubbed blood

on his shirt in an attempt to frame him for Lawson’s killing. The complaint posits that (Lawson?) may have been stabbed by his girlfriend or one of his friends, or that he have have simply stabbed himself. Finally, Zoellner also alleges that in a settlement conference last year, an attorney representing the city threatened that he could be charged again in the case and jailed if he did not dismiss the civil lawsuit against the city. In a motion asking the court to dismiss the bulk of Zoellner’s lawsuit, attorneys representing the city argue that this latest complaint “adds more conjecture and legal buzzwords” but includes faulty legal theories and “does not provide factual support” for its “bold” accusations. Another legal fight that may come to a head April 15 is a motion by Zoellner’s attorney to subpoena transcripts and other records from the Humboldt County Criminal Grand Jury proceedings in 2019 — materials that are presumed secret unless a grand jury hands up an indictment, which did not happen in this case. The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office’s handling of the grand jury process was the matter of some controversy at the time, with at least one grand juror reportedly breaking an oath of secrecy to speak to local media and express concerns about whether the case was presented fairly. Attorneys representing the city argued that Zoellner has failed to offer any “specific facts” as to why the documents should be released, so “breaking the secrecy of these confidential proceedings is not warranted.” In response to the subpoena, Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming filed a notice of “non opposition” to the court, saying she does not have a position on Zoellner’s motion and is not opposed to the release of the grand jury documents. But if the court orders the transcripts and documents released, Fleming asked that they all be subject to a protective order if the court orders them released to “preserve the potential future prosecution of the person(s) responsible for the homicide of David Josiah Lawson.” ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Pucker Up for Another Home Cooking Recipe Winner

ell, this is embarrassing. Last week we only shared two of our three winners for the NCJ Home Cooking Recipe Contest. Were we a little distracted by Tiffany Bullman’s cream puffs? Perhaps. Did we want to keep Cheri Swan’s recipe for Meyer lemon sweet rolls for ourselves? Maybe. But our sponsor Eureka Natural Foods chose those zesty breakfast treats as a winner and so here is the recipe for all the world to make at home. Here’s hoping you’re willing to share, too.

together. Next, knead the dough until it’s smooth, elastic and tacky. This will take up to 10 to 12 minutes on medium-low speed. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl and cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until puffy but not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the warmth of your kitchen. TIP: If you have a cooler kitchen, turn on the oven light and place your bowl in the oven to rise with the light on. This will make a slightly warmer place without a draft. To make the filling: While the dough is rising, put the filling ingredients, reserving 1 tablespoon lemon juice, into a medium bowl, stirring until the mixture is the texture of damp sand. Add up to 1 tablespoon of reserved lemon juice as needed. Set aside. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper. To assemble the rolls: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface and press it into a 12-by- 14inch rectangle that’s about ½ inch thick. For evenly shaped rolls, try to pat the dough into an actual rectangle with corners, rather than an oval. Sprinkle the filling over the dough, covering all but a ½-inch strip along one long side. Starting with the filling-covered long side, roll the dough into a log. Score the dough lightly, marking 12 equal pieces. Cut the dough at the score marks. TIP: Unflavored dental floss will give

you the cleanest cut. Pull off a long piece of floss, loop it underneath the log at the score mark and pull the ends in opposite directions to cut the dough. Repeat until you’ve cut all of the rolls. If you don’t have dental floss use a sharp knife. Place the rolls onto the prepared 9-by13-inch baking pan. You could also use 2 round 9-inch pans or 2 square 8-inch pans. Cover the rolls with lightly greased plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the warmth of your kitchen). The rolls should be puffy and the dough shouldn’t bounce back immediately when gently pressed. About 20 minutes before you’re ready to bake, position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the rolls for 13 to 16 minutes, until they’re a light golden brown and a digital thermometer inserted into the center of one roll reads 190 F. Remove rolls from the oven, place the pan on a rack, and brush the hot rolls with 1 ½ tablespoons of melted butter. This helps keep the rolls moist and not turn hard after they cool. Let the rolls cool for 10 to 15 minutes before icing. To make the icing: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Meyer lemon juice and zest. Slowly add the confectioners’ sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Ice the rolls and serve immediately. If you’re planning to serve the rolls later, wait to ice them until just before serving. Store icing at room temperature, tightly covered, until you’re ready to use it. ● northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, April 8, 2021 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

e can never know ahead of time, who or what may change the course of our lives. Charmaine Lawson brought three beautiful children into this world. David Josiah was her first born. Anthony and Chloe followed. A single mom, she wanted her children to do great things and they were each making her proud. On April 15, 2017, her life was forever changed. David Josiah Lawson was stabbed to death reportedly during a fight with Kyle Zoelloner over a cell phone that Josiah and his friends were accused of stealing. The damn phone was never lost or stolen. Four years have passed and no one has been held to account for this crime. I will skip over the details, everything that went so wrong on that lousy night and all the rest. I want to tell you about Josiah’s mother, Charmaine. Charmaine came to the U.S. from Jamaica as a teenager. She has three brothers and one sister. Charmaine attended high school in Southern California, got married at 21 and brought Josiah into this world when she was 23. She worked full time while attending night school, where she earned an associate degree in sociology. She plans to return to school to get her bachelor’s degree in political science after her youngest, Chloe, graduates high school. My husband Michael and I met Charmaine soon after she arrived in Humboldt to seek — or should I say more accurately, beg — for justice for her son’s killing. So far, someone has gotten away with murder. She heard that Michael and I attended the farcical preliminary hearing and wanted to meet us. When she came to our home, I asked where she was staying. She mentioned some motel. I asked her if, from then on, she was comfortable, to please stay with us. This precious and fragile mom and her children became family to us almost immediately. Michael and I never had children, so we will never know her pain. But bearing witness to it over the years revealed a mother who is determined to get justice for her son while at the same time, still

raising Anthony and Chloe, who lost their big brother. I saw Charmaine sleeping on our sofa, so many times tossing and turning and sometimes moaning in grief, while trying so hard to be strong in the face of the institutions in this community that failed her again and again. I watched her drink a special coffee in the morning to get her going as she went far and wide to seek an elusive justice. Endless conversations would ensue trying to make sense of how her son with such promise could be so senselessly taken from her with no one being held to account. Anthony and Chloe are young adults now and what happened to their big brother will always be with them. They spent many weekends without mom as she traveled to Humboldt from Perris, California, in her quest to get answers. One time she rented a van and drove a dozen relatives to Humboldt. We had just built a massive deck on our house to accommodate the many good people who would come to see her here — to eat and organize, and sometimes rescue a student in need. Other times, we celebrated birthdays as a way to ease her aching heart. We had a zillion gatherings at our house, filled with caring young and old people alike. There was always some excellent Jamaican rice and peas (that Charmaine taught me how to prepare) among other tasty foods. Sometimes in the beginning, I would watch her face as she prepared food and she’d looked so lost that I could only wonder what she was thinking and feeling. In spite of the madness and disappointments with the Arcata Police Department and District Attorney Maggie Fleming, she persisted. Trying to make good out of something so awful, she has organized coat drives, food giveaways and other events for needy students in an effort to follow in the footsteps of Josiah, who was known for his generosity to the homeless and those less fortunate people he encountered here in Humboldt. Ms. Lawson appreciates and has great love for all who have stood by and up for her and her family. She is a generous and loving woman.

Let's Talk About

‘Compassion and Love’ I met the Fennells in June of 2017 after a Humboldt County judge decided to release the person charged with the murder of my beloved son, DJ. As I pulled the car into the driveway, entering the porch was a short, beautiful white woman around 5-foot-2. She seemed as if she was anxiously waiting my arrival. She introduced herself as Sharon, but said everyone called her Sista Soul or Sis. She hugged me tight and held my hands. She looked deep into my eyes and told me how deeply sorry she was for the loss of my son, Josiah. I told her thanks. I wanted to cry but held my tears back because I didn’t want to show vulnerability to a complete stranger. She invited us inside her home. Moments later an older white male came inside from the back door. He’d been outside working in his garden and introduced himself as Mike, Sharon’s husband, and offered his condolences. It was so genuine. Still holding back tears, I said, “Thank you, and you have a lovely home.” Mike told me he attended the preliminary hearing all five days, and he was very disappointed with Humboldt County deputy district attorney who presided over my son’s case: “He was clueless, unprepared and not very professional.” Sharon described how devastated the students were with the judge’s decision to release the suspect. My son’s friends and students from Humboldt State University had no one to turn to. HSU President Lisa Rossbacher told students to make an appointment if they want to talk with her. Sista Soul was infuriated with the court’s decision and the lack of compassion from HSU’s president

As I write this, there is a civil suit pending against the city of Arcata. Rightly so. No amount of money will make this tragedy all better. Our community owes this mother something, someway, to honor her son’s short and precious life. Among other things, Charmaine wants the construction of Josiah’s House, a safe and nurturing place for the underserved students who attend Humboldt State and College of the Redwoods. We hope this can be accomplished. There is a scholarship fund administered by our amazing local NAACP. Contributing to the David Josiah Lawson

and told the students to come back to her home. She brought them pizza, fed them and comforted them. As she was telling me the story, the tears I had been holding back just fell from my eyes and started rolling down my cheeks. I could not hold back my emotions any longer. She hugged me again and said, “Oh mama, we will get justice for your son.” Sista Soul said I was welcome to stay at her home anytime my family and I were in Humboldt County. I was so thankful for her generosity, compassion and love. I told her I would think about it. I honestly don’t know why I had to think about it — she was so kind. Weeks later, I was heading back to Humboldt to fight for my beloved son. I called Sista Soul to let her know I would be in town and she said, “Are you staying with us?” I told her yes, and it was the best decision I ever made. I’ve known the Fennells for almost four years. I am proud to call them my vanilla mom and dad. They showed me and my children unconditional love, they give me strength and encourage me to never give up. I wish they’d had the opportunity meet my beloved DJ. They would have fallen in love with him instantly, and he with them. DJ’s kind spirit reminds me of Mike, and Mike reminds me of my grandfather, a hard worker and a gentle soul. Mike and Sista Soul, I love and appreciate you for your kindness and the love you show to my family, and your community. You’re both angels on Earth. You will forever be my vanilla mom and dad. — Charmaine Lawson

scholarship fund is a great opportunity to help Charmaine and her family honor Josiah’s legacy. Like I said, we never know ahead of time what events will be life changers. I tell this beautiful mother that I wish we had met her in life under some other circumstance. But we are better people for knowing her and her kin. Our hope is that justice will come soon. It may be elusive today but there is always tomorrow. The case remains open. l Sharon Fennell (she/her) is a Humboldt State University alum, former KHSU programmer and lives in Manila with her husband and cat.

HumCo Goes Orange

umboldt County has been moved into the state’s orange or “moderate” COVID-19 risk tier after long stays in the more restrictive red and purple tiers. The new status will allow more business sectors to open, while expanding indoor operations capacity for restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, retail stores, places of worship and other organizations. The news came as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced April 6 that the tier system is slated to end June 15, with businesses and other activities across the state allowed to reopen to pre-pandemic levels, depending on two main factors: hospitalizations and vaccination supply numbers. Mask mandates will remain in effect for the foreseeable future, he said. “This disease is as deadly as it’s ever been, the thing we’ve done is suppress the spread,” Newsom said at a press conference, noting health officials are mindful of variants and masks are an important part of controlling the virus’ spread. “California has made incredible progress controlling the spread of COVID-19 by staying home, masking and getting vaccines out quickly to Californians in every corner of the state, including in those communities hardest hit by this pandemic,” California Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghalys said in a news release. “In order to take the next step, we

must continue to do our part to keep this momentum moving in the right direction, and that means continuing to wear a mask and ensuring everyone who is eligible gets the vaccine.” By the end of the month, Newsom said he anticipates the state will have distributed 30 million doses. California opened up the vaccine line to those 50 years and older April 1, with residents 16 years and older able to receive a shot starting April 15. Humboldt County residents looking to receive a COVID-19 vaccine need to register through the state’s My Turn site as part of a transition to Blue Shield taking over vaccine distribution and registration. Those who filled out the county’s vaccine interest form will have to do so again on the state’s My Turn website (www.myturn. ca.gov) as county information will not be rolled over to the state’s database. County residents who have already received one dose do not need to use My Turn for scheduling and should receive an email from Public Health or contact from the original provider about second dose information, according to a news release. The state data released today shows Humboldt County with a test positive rate of 2 percent (compared to 2.2 percent last week) and a daily case rate of 3.5 per 100,000 compared to California overall, which has a 1.8 positivity rate and 5.1 cases

Carrots, Sticks and Jabs

What will California do to win over vaccine skeptics? By Ben Christopher/CalMatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

eginning April 1, all Californians 50 and older became eligible to get their coveted COVID-19 vaccine — including one politically imperiled 53-year-old governor. Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated this latest benchmark by getting a well-publicized jab himself, thus marking the beginning of the end of what has been a particularly thorny political challenge for the administration: How to make sure the millions of Californians eager to get a vaccine are able to get one. Now it’s on to the next challenge: How to vaccinate the millions of Californians who aren’t quite so eager. A survey released recently by the Public Policy Institute of California found that 14 percent of adult respondents said they would “definitely not get the vaccine.” Another 7 percent said they “probably”

wouldn’t. That suggests that one in five Californians will need, at the very least, some extra convincing. With new more virulent and lethal mutations of the novel coronavirus now rippling through the unvaccinated population, public health experts say convincing those “vaccine hesitant” holdouts is an urgent concern — not just for the unvaccinated, but for everyone. “This is like a shapeshifter of a virus, so if we don’t do it now, then we may have to vaccinate everybody else again if some new super variant comes on board,” said Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease physician at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. In the early days of the pandemic, epidemiologists estimated that roughly 70 percent of the population would need to acquire some degree of immunity to the

virus — either by getting sick and developing antibodies or by receiving a vaccine — to slow transmission to a containable rate. The new variants raise that figure to reach “herd immunity” to about 85 percent, said Chin-Hong. But many state lawmakers and public health officials say it’s still too early to consider resorting to mandates or other coercive measures that have already proven contentious to goad people to wear masks during the pandemic. “Rather than coming out with a hammer right away,” said North Coast Assemblymember Jim Wood, a Santa Rosa Democrat who leads the Assembly health committee, the state should use the next few months to “identify what the major barriers are, educate people, provide information, reassurance, contact the people

that have the most influence … and see where we end up.”

A “continuum of coercion” Wood and his colleagues have good reason to tread carefully. In 2019, the acrimonious debate over a bill making it more difficult for parents to exempt their school-aged children from routine vaccine requirements ended with a protester literally raining blood onto the floor of the state Senate. During the pandemic, irate anti-vaccine protesters have been regular fixtures at legislative hearings. In January, two activists issued warnings to lawmakers — particularly sinister in the days following the storming of the U.S. Capitol — that a vaccine mandate of any kind would

Small (Hot) Plates on the Way

From a sake bar and grill and a boba café By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Hot Plates Coming Through at Nori Passersby have been either celebrating or scratching their heads at the sign for Nori (761 Eighth St.), heralding another sushi place joining Tomo and Sushi Spot on the Arcata Plaza. But according to its owners, the soon-to-open restaurant in the downstairs spot where Salt Fish House started out before moving to I Street will have a decidedly pan-Asian menu. While Joe Tan and Jack Wu, both among the partners at Eureka’s Bayfront, are planning to offer sushi from the gleaming white counter, the bulk of the menu will be a spread of Taiwanese teppan dishes presided over by chef Yee Wen, whom diners may recognize from the teppanyaki grill at Bayfront. Wen’s cooking will be behind the scenes at Nori and he’ll be working with different flavors, like black pepper and mushroom sauces for the meat, seafood, tofu and noodles served on searing hot metal plates. Tan is still making sushi at Bayfront, where he’s worked since 2017, but he’ll be covering the new Nori’s counter for at least a little while when it opens, training new chefs. (When that will happen is dependent on a few final repairs and the installation of a couple sinks.) But it’s building the sake bar that makes Tan giddy. “Sake is gonna be one of my favorite parts,” he says. At Little Japan in Henderson Center, Tan says, “I always just stand there looking at the sake selection.” He’s still finalizing the list but guesses the bar will carry 20 or more sakes, including cloudy nigori sakes flavored with coffee and yuzu. Expect shochu and shochu cocktails at the bar, as well. Born in Malaysia in the mountain town of Ipoh near Kuala Lampur, Tan worked in Japan for six years, with stints in Ginza and Tsukiji, home of the famed Tokyo fish market, at an upscale kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi) restaurant. But as a foreigner,

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 8, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

his career was limited. “In Japan they’re very traditional, so they don’t let me stand in the front,” he says. In the U.S., those barriers drop significantly. “If I still work in Japan, I’m still just a worker, I’m gaijin,” he says, a foreigner. The challenge here is to make sushi with sometimes hard-to-source ingredients and to adapt to local produce and palates. “I keep bugging the seafood company here,” says Tan, who’s scouting aji (horse mackerel) and kanmpachi (amberjack), among others. The traditional nigiri, rolls and sashimi will come alongside 10 American-style specialty rolls, with the combinations and sauces that have proven popular in Humboldt and beyond, if not in Japan. Upstairs in the former Mazzotti’s, where Wu has leased the space on his own, things are still up in the air. (As they are for Mazzotti’s, which owner Joe Mazzotti says he hopes will “reopen soon” in a new location.) The prime plaza location and liquor license seem to Wu to have potential as a restaurant, bar or nightclub but, so far, getting staff and contractors lined up in a pandemic has been tough. The past year, Wu says, was “terrible” but he’s still putting his money on starting something new.

electrical work is done, they’ll be opening S.I.P., a café serving Taiwanese boba teas, coffee drinks and snacks. Ith Phe, who grew up in Cambodia and graduated from Eureka High School, worked at a bakery while attending college in the Central Valley and “fell in love with boba tea.” Back in Eureka, she says she told her family, “We need a boba place here.” Indeed, there are few local places where one can score the sweet drinks and no dedicated cafes. She says she’d learned a lot from watching her sister grow and run Annie’s Cambodian with her husband, Chin Chau, and started dreaming of her own place. When her sister heard the Chalet might not reopen, Ith Phe kept her eye on it while scouting other possible spaces until it finally became available. But once up and running, S.I.P. will offer a gamut of boba teas — like milk tea, jasmine and fruit teas — and a snack

The couple is shooting for a May opening but it’s a rough guess, as weather-related road closures have delayed some building supplies already and she and her husband, a former mechanic, are doing much of the remodeling themselves. “We’re putting in a lot of love,” she says with a laugh. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Godwit Days Starts Flapping Bird identification for beginners By Mark Larson

y first introduction to bird watching on Humboldt Bay came on a guided April walk years ago offered by the Godwit Days Spring Migration Bird Festival. We paused at a viewpoint at the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary and, to my amazement, looked out at tens of thousands of migratory shorebirds feeding on the exposed tidal flats at low tide. Another Godwit Days is coming up April 16 through 18 but, for the second year in a row due to the pandemic, the entire festival is being offered in a free, virtual format via Zoom webinar. (To register and see the schedule, go to www. godwitdays.org.) As for advice for watching wild birds in person, be aware they have remarkable eyesight and are wary of humans. They often physically distance themselves from you (typical of my birdwatching experiences at Hookton Slough Wildlife Refuge, for example). To get a good close-up look at many birds, I recommend borrowing or buying a good quality pair of binoculars or spotting scope with a monopod or tripod. We are very lucky locally, however, with opportunities to see wildlife up close at the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary, with its more than 5 miles of accessible trails and incredible avian diversity. (More than 330 species have been sighted within its boundaries.) It’s a great location for

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 8, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

anyone just starting out bird watching because many of the wild bird species along the marsh trails or in the ponds are habituated to humans. You can see or photograph them more easily at relatively close distances. And don’t forget to look up at the power-line towers where hawks like to perch. My wife and I frequently walk at the marsh throughout the year and this week we enjoyed seeing tiny marsh wrens staking out their territories along the trails, a large murmuration of godwits and other shorebirds, as well as the usual mix of snowy and great egrets. As for the challenge of identifying what bird species you’re looking at while birding at the marsh, local bird watching experts and photographers Ken Burton and Leslie Scopes Anderson have published an excellent photo field guide, Common Birds of Northwest California. But I recommend learning how to enjoy bird identification without feeling unwanted pressure. My father introduced me to watching wildlife at an early age and he encouraged me not to worry about the species name of the bird I was seeing, but rather to stop, observe and remember its behavior and what it looked like. I just read similar advice from Kenn Kaufman, field editor at Audubon magazine, who recommends the “four L’s:” “Look and listen a little longer.” He recommends learning bird identifications by spending time looking at how a

bird moves, its tail and wing shapes and its plumage colors and markings, and listening to its distinctive call. Kaufman says, “People sometimes tell me they don’t want to spend time on a common bird because they might miss some rare species as a result. But experts have a better chance of finding rarities precisely because they know the common birds so well. Think about it: Most of the birds we see and hear are the common ones, aren’t they? So you can increase your skill at identifying most birds by increasing your familiarity with common species.” See a variety of local wild bird species in the slideshow accompanying the online version of this story. (All were photographed at the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary in winter or spring). I look forward to seeing you in a Godwit Days’ virtual Zoom session at the Arcata Marsh or the bird song or call identification workshop. And when you’re out at the marsh looking at birds, remember to also watch for river otters and other wildlife. And please join me wearing a mask while walking the marsh and physically distance with others. l Mark Larson (he/him) is a retired Humboldt State University journalism professor and active freelance photographer who likes to walk.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Rockfish Are Snapping at the Jetties By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

he boat-based rockfish season on the North Coast is still three weeks away but that certainly doesn’t mean rockfish can’t be on the dinner menu. The jetties, the breakwater constructed to protect Humboldt Bay, are currently providing some excellent rockfish action. Over the weekend, the north jetty was the place to be for black rockfish, along with the occasional lingcod. A few anglers were lucky enough to land their limit of 10 rockfish, while most caught enough to make plenty of fish tacos. The south jetty hasn’t been as good but that will likely change as water conditions improve. There are a few different techniques anglers use on the jetties. One of the most popular is fishing with small swimbaits or scampi jigs. You can use a half-ounce or three-quarter ounce, depending on the tide and depth of water. Another popular method is a two-hook setup rigged with bait. For bait, squid or shrimp work well. You can also cast and retrieve egg sinkers or banana weights rigged with a herring. This works well for lingcod. While we wait for the May 1 boat-based rockfish opener, the jetties are always an excellent year-round option to put fresh fish on the table. For a complete list of rockfish regulations, visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Groundfish-Summary#north.

Marine forecast Ocean conditions don’t look promising for the weekend. Friday is calling for north winds to 15 knots and north waves 6 feet at six seconds. The weekend is looking a little worse, with waves 9 to 10 feet at 10 seconds. Winds will be out of the north 15 to 25 knots. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/eureka/ or www.windy.com.

Brookings ocean update

Lower Rogue

Fishing for rockfish and lingcod has been very good out of Brookings, especially on calm weather days, reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. He says, “Boat limits of lingcod have been common when swells and winds allow anglers to get to House Rock or Mack Arch. Close-in fishing also has been good, with easy limits of rockfish just past Chetco Point. Crabbing is slow. Halibut season opens May 1 out of Brookings.”

Spring salmon fishing continues to be slow on the lower Rogue River, according to Martin. “Very few hatchery springers are being caught,” says Martin. “Boaters are anchoring close to shore and running anchovies with spinner blades. Flows at Agness are 2,900 cubic feet per second, with a water temperature near 55 degrees. Steelhead fishing also is slow.”

Bucksport Sporting Goods fishing contests

The Smith was right around 1,850 cfs on the Jed Smith gauge on Tuesday. Fishing reports have been hard to come by as most anglers have moved on for the season. There should be some downers around a few fresh ones still making their way upriver.

Bucksport Sporting Goods will be holding its third annual California Halibut Contest beginning April 1 and running through Sept. 31. Entry is free, and can be completed before or during a weigh in. The top three halibut will win various prizes from the store. Bucksport will also be holding its third annual Redtail Perch Contest beginning on April 1. The contest will run through September and you can enter up to 10 fish per month. A point will be given for each ounce and each quarter inch. The perch, redtails only, must be measured and weighed at Bucksport. The top three fish at the end of the contest will win a prize. Entry is free but limited to in-store registration only. Also starting April 1 is its 13th annual Lingcod Spearfishing Contest. Limit two fish per month. A point will be given for each pound and each inch. Top three fish will win prizes. Bucksport is located at 3650 Broadway in Eureka.

The Rivers: Reminder: The South Fork Eel, Van Duzen, Mattole, Mad, Redwood Creek, and Chetco rivers all closed to fishing March 31.

Eel (main stem)

As of Tuesday, the main Eel was running at 2,400 cfs on the Scotia gauge. The river is in perfect shape and there should be quite a few steelhead making their way downriver. Fishing pressure has been light. The main stem Eel to the South Fork is open all year. Only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used from Apr. 1 through Sept. 30. l

Rumbles, Riffs and Riders Godzilla vs. Kong, Hysterical and Concrete Cowboy

Me once karaoke is safe again. Godzilla vs. Kong

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com GODZILLA VS. KONG. On the rarest of occasions, one receives an unexpected gift; something one would not have chosen for oneself, or even considered as a potential source of joy. Such, for me, was the arrival of Godzilla vs. Kong. We all knew it was coming and most were ready to receive it with adulation (see the world-crushing box office numbers). But I was, as in most things, trepidatious. As much as I reveled in the pleasant surprises of Kong: Skull Island (2017) and despite my almost-primal reverence for monster movies, time has made me wary even of simple pleasures. Additionally, Godzilla’s just never been my guy. Both the 1998 and 2014 iterations left me cold, the former for its silliness, the latter for its overwrought drama. I skipped King of the Monsters (2019). But it would seem I’ve been subconsciously craving a big, dumb spectacle (beyond American political theater) as much as everybody else. Lights down, monsters up, I had a great time. The primary achievement of G v. K lies in its refusal to take itself too seriously. While it is most certainly a gigantic, expensive undertaking, it is suffused with a sense of fun and discovery that strips away much of the cynicism with which it has become so easy to approach things. Director Adam Wingard (You’re Next, 2011), having graduated from low to mid-budget horror to the big leagues of potential studio disaster, acquits himself astoundingly well. It is a titanic undertaking to bring together the countless elements that make up a movie of this scale; it only takes a couple of crucial mistakes for the whole thing to go sideways. And while no one could accuse Godzilla vs. Kong of changing cinema (except in a plague year), the fact that it remains watchable — read: fun — throughout is a testament to the

novel idea that a mega-movie doesn’t have to submit to stupidity or over-seriousness to succeed. And, while it could create a rift between those of us on Team Kong (the good guys) and Team Godzilla (the other guys), the movie brings us together, ultimately, against the evils of technology. Hope springs eternal. PG13. 113M. HBOMAX. HYSTERICAL. Stand-up comedy, a fascinating, roguish subculture, is also a troubling microcosm of the society upon which it comments. It distills the prejudices and inequities of contemporary culture, even as it ostensibly works to delineate and destroy them. Most pointedly, it has been and remains a boys’ club, which is a euphemism for a toxically sexist, exclusionary milieu. While Hysterical, directed by Andrea Blaugrund Nevins, critically examines the challenges and imbalances inherent in the world of stand-up, it also strikes a decidedly hopeful tone, suggesting this may be a moment of critical change, a long overdue assessment of inherent bias and unequal opportunity. Made up primarily of interviews with female comics, some multi-decade veterans and some already hardened new recruits, Hysterical presents a sometimes too-broad survey of women in comedy. It touches on the experiences and influence of trailblazers like Moms Mabley, Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers — legends and heroes all — but with its unusually brief running time, one cannot help but feel that history is being given short shrift. Additionally, there are some notable omissions from the talking head portion, likely due in part to the obvious impact of COVID-19 on the documentary’s production. For its minor faults, though, Hysterical is a hilarious, timely and crucial document. In the midst of a late-stage cultural wake-up

call about equality and representation and legacies of abuse, who better to lead the charge than the comedians, with women as the standard bearers. TVMA. 87M. HULU, FX. CONCRETE COWBOY scratches the surface of a number of heretofore woefully unexplored story wells: Black cowboys; the transformative power of a trust-based relationship with a horse; and north-Philly equine accommodations, among others. Directed by Ricky Staub, written by Staub and Dan Walser, the movie accomplishes much of what it sets out to with style and emotional investment to spare. So, even when it overreaches or the pacing falters or the feelings start to get saccharine, I am prepared to overlook those minor shortcomings. After a last-straw fight and school expulsion, Cole’s (Caleb McLaughlin) long-suffering mother stuffs his clothes into garbage bags and drives him from Detroit to Philadelphia to live with his semi-estranged father, Harp (Idris Elba). Cole is shocked to learn he’ll be sharing an apartment with a horse and that’s only the beginning. Harp is at the center of a longstanding community of Black cowboys, whose stable space — and cultural identity — is increasingly threatened by gentrification. Caught between the appeal of the street-life of childhood friend Smush (Jharrel Jerome) and the discipline and potential redemption of horsemanship, Cole struggles to establish his own identity. While some of Concrete Cowboy’s imperfections may frustrate, hinting as they do at a more perfect version of the story, there is more to admire than to criticize. R. 111M. NETFLIX. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

50 and Better

washedup@northcoastjournal.com woke up this morning to find that I’m no longer human. I’m a beach! I’m a dynamic beach with large surf breaking over me. The waves erode the large dune that used to be my beer belly, and when the tide recedes, the dune is replaced by a flat gravel bed. And just beyond that I can now see a large log. It’s long and thick and has a tangled mass of roots at its base. I think I’ll like being a beach. In the fish and wildlife habitat business we call big logs like mine “large woody debris” or LWD. Large wood provides many important habitat functions on the beds and banks of rivers and streams, and it also plays important roles on beaches and in estuaries. The ideal piece of habitat-forming LWD is a fat redwood tree with its root ball still attached. A piece like that may persist for many decades in one location, and it may have other lives as it gets moved around by floods and big surf. And the places you find big wood give an indication of where the water has been. For example, an ecology professor told us that the accumulation of large wood high up on the sand spit at Dry Lagoon was deposited during the 1964 Flood. This wood provides shelter for seeds to establish, and most logs are hosts to small, wind-blasted trees and shrubs. All of this provides habitat for wildlife, and it’s no wonder that this is a great place for bird watching. After the storms of 2017, a new, large stump and root mass with barnacles on it washed up on Mad River Beach. The barnacles indicated this piece of large wood had probably been in the Mad River estuary, where it would have provided cover for fish, a perch for birds and a safe place for river otters to linger. Even harbor seals will haul out on a comfortable-looking estuary log.

Dance/Music/Theater/Film

I have a favorite pair of large redwood stumps on one of our local beaches. I think of them as a married couple. They were together in the same spot for at least 20 years but the storms of 2017 washed the “husband” about 100 yards to the north. It actually made me sad. An interesting thing about these semi-permanent pieces of large wood is they make it obvious how much erosion and deposition of sand occurs annually. Sometimes the “married couple” stick out of the sand 5 to 6 feet high and sometimes they are completely buried. Unfortunately, very large wood has become scarce where it’s needed most. This happened for a variety of reasons, including historic timber harvest practices, modern wood poaching and old-time, ignorant fish biologists removing wood jams to “help salmon swim upstream.” Once, while we were working on a small coastal stream, someone opined that we should remove the log jam from the beach at the mouth of the creek. I climbed down into the jam with my mask and snorkel to see how blocked it really was. I found two adult steelhead safely holding with plenty of room to swim up- or downstream when higher flows returned. Jams may look impenetrable from above, but the stream scours out plenty of space below for fish passage and protective cover. Anyway, it’s a sunny day and I feel the warmth on my new flat belly and my big log. You might like to take a walk on my beach. See what you can find. But please clean up after your dog and do not molest my large wood. l Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly. It’s available at Eureka Books and for Kindle.
