EDITORIAL

Enough By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

e’ve seen enough — enough to know that Eureka Police Department Sgt. Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez and officer Mark Meftah have no business wearing a badge and holstering a gun; enough to to know there’s a cancerously toxic culture in at least one of EPD’s units; enough to know the trust has been irrevocably broken. Now, we’re not naïve or, as a newsroom, immune to gallows humor. We get that finding some humor in the bleak is a necessary coping tool that helps us through — perhaps those whose job it is to navigate society’s worst on a regular basis, most of all. We get that. But this is not that. When an officer looks upon a burning building and his first thought is to fantasize about rounding up homeless people to shove them inside, as you’ll read about in this week’s cover story, well, that officer needs to lose his badge. When officers repeatedly use terms like “snatch” and “bitch” to refer to the women around them while objectifying them, how do we have any reasonable expectation as a community that they’ll step in to protect them when they’re in danger or won’t take advantage when they’re vulnerable? When an officer refers to a suicidal military veteran killed in a standoff with police using an acronym for “piece of shit” with “several extra holes in him,” how do we as a community have any reasonable belief that he values the sanctity of life? When an officer pleads to go to a standoff because he needs to “work out some frustrations,” how can we have any expectation he’ll de-escalate the situation — or the next one — when he gets there? We don’t. We can’t. We’ve already seen too much, more than enough to know these men can’t be trusted to act in our names or protect our rights. This is absolutely not to say that Eureka should fast track the third-party investigation it has commissioned to look into the situation. It shouldn’t. It can’t. We applaud Eureka’s decision to bring in a high-powered, out-of-area firm to investigate the department, and the city’s willingness to contractually give that firm “full discretion” to conduct the investigation without the city “influencing or interfering with the outcome.” This

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 3, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

investigation needs to biopsy every tumor, every sign of malignant growth, until it’s clear to what degree this cancerous culture has been allowed to metastasize throughout the department. If that means it spans months and costs tens of thousands of dollars, that’s what needs to be done and the costs pale in comparison to the alternative. We say this knowing all too well the investigation’s full findings likely won’t — and probably can’t — be made public unless they find one of the officer’s involved was dishonest. The truth is that California’s laws are overly protective of police officer personnel files and disciplinary actions. We won’t know if or why a sergeant is demoted or an officer suspended — given “days at the beach,” as those who don a badge sometimes call it — much less if someone gets a written reprimand or ordered to undertake additional training. And that makes it all the more imperative that Meftah and Reyna-Sanchez be fired. Thanks to whoever decided to leak a host of text messages to the Sacramento Bee, we’ve seen their conduct. Now we need to see the consequences. We understand the legal protections police officers enjoy, the high-priced attorneys who will jump to their defense through the seemingly bottomless coffers of the Legal Defense Fund. We expect that when he has the investigation’s findings in hand and decisions to make, Chief Steve Watson will have people in his ear urging caution, warning of the potential consequences of overstepping to fire an officer. We don’t envy his position. But when that day comes, we urge Watson to also consider the consequences of doing too little, to think about the message that would send to everyone in his department and everyone in this community, to weigh the potential liability of a personnel action against that of leaving guns and badges in the hands of people unfit to wield them. He must consider the cost of not doing enough when we’ve all seen too much. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

‘An Opportunity’ Editor: The pandemic has changed our relationship to each other, and our social and economic spaces (NCJ Daily, May 27). Many people have found a way to work from home, which leaves a lot of business real estate empty. The Bayshore Mall recently went into foreclosure, a trend seen across America, with over half of department stores expected to close in 2021. This is not good news for the economy as we know it, but there is an opportunity here in repurposing these existing structures for the low-income housing we so desperately need. Examples of developing empty malls into housing can be seen online in cities like Seattle and San Francisco. Some designs include residential units and small retail businesses that create a village atmosphere. California has introduced a bill, Senate Bill 1385, the Neighborhood Homes Act, that would make it easier to convert commercially zoned properties into residential properties. Gov. Newsom has recently pledged $12 billion toward ending homelessness. I would like to see Humboldt County government work with the state and use this opportunity to acquire unused existing properties, like the mall or office buildings, for the creation of low-income housing. We need housing for all levels of income, but people who have been left out on the street for years should be given priority. When we take care of our most vulnerable, the whole community will feel the benefits. Peg Anderson, Redway

On Hate Speech Editor: One would hope that the NCJ would be as proactive against anti-Semitic hate precipitated by the Middle East conflict as they were during the anti-Asian rhetoric and assaults in Georgia. You printed one of my letters, and one of your own staff members weighed in with an article in support of Asian Americans (“The Awful Familiarity of Anti-Asian Violence,” March 25). I heard Palestinian supporters in this country chanting “Rape their daughters” and “Hitler was right.” If that isn’t hate speech, what is? American Jews are not a cool minority, especially in some progressive circles, due to the Middle-East conflict. Sort of like some nitwits blame Asian Americans for COVID. You would think the learned professor at Humboldt State University, prominent in the pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and their “progressive” supporters at the Eureka Courthouse

demonstration would stand in solidarity and remind folks they have no quarrel and condemn violence against American Jews. Crickets is all I hear. But I guess Anti-Semitic hate speech and assaults are not as grievous as those against Black folks and Asian Americans in some quarters. John Dillon, Eureka

‘Ironic’ Editor: Evidence of a drought in the immediate future has been plentiful (“Forewarned but Still Not Ready,” May 27). That the North Coast is lucky to be wetter than most of California has made for some complacent behavior. The once “mighty” Eel River has been getting sucked nearly dry pretty much annually due to diversions south for wineries, etc., and semi-locally by grows, legal or otherwise. The Eel wants to come back, but we won’t let it! Same with the Klamath! The rivers belong to aquatic life. Stealing from their natural habitat, killing off fish and birds, to supplement unnatural usage is wrong. Will we ever learn? It’s already becoming too late. It’s ironic that there will likely be a huge fish farm (Nordic) on the Samoa Peninsula that will get a consistent supply of necessary water. And why is it taking until 2023 to remove those dams from the Klamath? Another action too long in coming and perhaps too late to accomplish anything positive. I’ve heard desalination is expensive and no one knows what to do with the salt deposits ... has there been more research on this? Couldn’t this be incorporated into an infrastructure plan? It seems we have developed an all too prevalent “too little, too late” tolerance. So sad! Kathryn Travers, Eureka Editor: I enjoyed your article on the current drought. It reminds of the old poem, “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” We sit beside 1,000 miles of Pacific Ocean and I am astonished at no mention in your article of the most obvious solution: desalination. California has the world’s largest desalination plant, in San Diego County (and 10 more elsewhere in the state), and it has been operating successfully for years. I estimate that with our recent enormous surplus of tens of billions of dollars we could go a long way toward desalinating the entire state. I think if we overbuild them we can sell water to our inland neighbors or trade for power to

‘My Hat is Off’ Editor: Congratulations on the CNPA first place award for coverage of youth and education, as well as the second place award for Jonathon Webster’s infographic, “The Cost of Childhood Trauma.” (“Winning While Losing,” May 27.) Iridian Casarez’ Oct. 1 article, “Reaching for Resilience,” was an insightful work, weaving crucial elements on health antecedents, the Humboldt experience and the many local efforts to improve our community health. Many thanks to the North Coast Journal for its community-focused, candid lens and the NCJ team that supported all that went into the article — and to Iridian Casarez for her discernment, journalistic skills and solid understanding of the science of trauma and resilience. As you know, the California Surgeon General’s Office featured the article in their October 2020 ACEs Aware newsletter, website and social media outreach on adverse childhood experiences. It takes understanding, collective effort and heart to create the change that will nurture lifelong healthy outcomes for Humboldt’s youth. “Reaching for Resilience” not only took a strong step toward that goal, it also reached thousands of others in California with the message that communities can work together to create

‘An Ignominious Strikeout’ Editor: The NCJ has always impressed me with your progressive political and cultural style of journalism. When you nabbed the big one: first place prize for coverage of the COVID pandemic, well, that was a monumental homerun. However, your full-page ads for that tobacco company — an ignominious strikeout. And it was not lucky at all. They are now emboldened to boast about their coffin nail products. They glory in the past and promise for the future. LSMFT: Lucky Strike Means Final Termination. Paco Montalbin, Arcata

To See or Not to See Editor: Even Paul Bunyan with his Blue Ox — in gigantic effigy, were not much of a distraction for us on our occasional drives north of Trinidad, up winding, wonderful “101.” My family and I generally avoid most tourist traps. That all changed suddenly a couple of years ago when I discovered that the ‘Monstrament’ — a 14-foot “violin” — had mysteriously moved up the coast to the The Trees of Mystery, a tourist center and unofficially the gateway

Could It Be Why don’t the words come When they came so readily before? Beauty, the stuff of poetry, is still here The birds call and squabble at the feeders The flowers bloom and go to seed The wind whispers in the tree And the fog lounges lazily on the distant ridge As the sun creeps shyly through the eastern clouds. The fence is down Toppled by the bear in search of ripe, abundant plums and berries the squirrel sits brazenly outside my window Munching on the treat I knew he’d love. So where are the words of contentment and delight? Could it be that the world is upside down That we have lost our foothold And twirl in a vortex of imprecision, doubt, and fear That everything is normal and so abnormal That nature is a balm, Helpful, but not sufficient? Could it be that human contact is not enough And touch is missing and essential Could it be that we are not invincible, omnipotent, supreme Nor a little lower than the angels Meant to dominate the earth and all that dwells therein? Could it be a time of reckoning and change and turmoil Leading to new and better ways of thinking and being Could it be that poetry will sing again?

to the Redwood National Parks. I drove north to investigate. My sculpture was discretely placed and I was pleased. However, I soon became a trapped tourist at this “tourist trap!” I was not alone. John Thompson, the owner of the center, informed me that as many as 400,000 tourists visit annually! Here’s why: Beyond Paul Bunyan who guards the parking lot, there is a tastefully arranged gift shop representing skilled, local artisans; there’s a neat coffee shop, a sky-ride into the redwoods and the best rest rooms west of wherever. There’s more: Adjacent to the center, eager travelers from most states and many nations have free access to a first-rate Native American museum. Enjoy this little museum while you may because this and others may be forced to remand treasured artifacts to the represented tribes, though they have absolutely no connection to the desecration of graves (“They Can’t Breathe,” May 20). Obviously, if burial relics are there, they belong with the tribes. However, other treasures at the center are open to

the tribes. And — as with all great art, the redwoods and the rivers — they belong to all of us. John Wiebe, Trinidad

‘To Heart’ Editor: If one good thing came out of the soul-searing decision on the Terra-Gen wind project, it was that consulting early and often with Humboldt’s smart and finicky public can make or break a development. Nordic Aquafarms appears to have taken this to heart last week when it voluntarily opted to pursue a full environmental impact statement in its quest for a fish factory. Alas, instead of asking for our humble opinions, the city of Eureka is proceeding with a new wastewater treatment facility with zero public input. Its plan would permanently allow sewage outfall in Humboldt Bay instead of extending the current outfall into the ocean. Part of Eureka’s plan wedges in an “interpretative center.” That includes laying

trails and providing signs, and, for those fortunate to have boats, a boat launch. The “interpretive” plan estimated cost is $4.2 million, to be paid for in new rates for Eureka and Humboldt Community Services District ratepayers. The plan also contains a grant-funded Elk River wetlands restoration project. Leaving the outfall into the bay could be iffy, what with warming water and all the chaos that a warming planet is bringing. But, we don’t know because Eureka’s going straight to the state for approval. No one knows if there’s a better, more efficient, or less-expensive path to improving the yucky old wastewater system because Eureka never bothered to consult with its smart and finicky citizenry. Eureka intends for its development to be approved by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board in August. Enviros are asking the state for at least one public workshop to vet Eureka’s plan, but the city has apparently not learned Terra-Gen Lesson No. 1. J.A. Savage, Eureka

On Memorial Day Editor: This Memorial Day we remember all who have died in war and understand that no one wins in war. Many of us have been personally touched by war. But we must also extend that mourning. We must remember the civilian victims, and their families, who are all equally human beings. Honoring and remembering some deaths while ignoring others not only perpetuates war, but also ignores the moral injuries of war, which some now recognize as a significant cause of veteran suicide. For the coordinating committee of Humboldt Bay Chapter 56 of Veterans for Peace, our message for Memorial Day is to remember all who have died in war and to understand that no one wins. We understand that those who fight the wars gain the least from them and those who send us to war gain the most from war. There are many people who either profit from war or are misled by war mongers and profiteers. These are the people who seek to block our message to question war and to work for peace.

fter years of anticipation, the prospect of creating a floating wind farm off the coast of Humboldt County, generating clean energy and economic growth, took a significant step forward last week. Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and other federal officials to announce an agreement that will allow for the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to offer a lease auction as early as next year for two stretches of California’s coastal waters. The first is a 399-mile stretch on the Central Coast northwest of Morro Bay and the second an unspecified site about 20 miles off Humboldt Bay. “Developing offshore wind to produce clean, renewable energy could be a game-changer to achieving California’s clean energy goals and addressing climate change — all while bolstering the economy and creating new jobs,” Newsom said in a press release. “This historic announcement, which could provide clean power for up to 1.6 million homes over the next decade, represents the innovative approach we need for a clean energy economy that protects the coasts, fisheries, marine life and Tribal and cultural resources we value so much as Californians.” While consistent strong winds off the North Coast have long had tantalizing potential, waters off the local coast get too deep, too quickly for traditional standing turbine technology. But recent years have seen the advent of floating platforms, which place 750-plus-foot-tall turbines fixed to partially submerged barges or platforms that are then tethered to the ocean floor, with the first full-scale

deep water wind farm opening of the coast of Scotland in 2017. State officials quickly took notice, feeling offshore wind — which typically sees peak production in the late afternoon and evening — could mesh with solar infrastructure, which typically peaks midday and vanishes at sunset, to lessen the need for costly energy storage. California’s Central Coast was the obvious site, with its proximity to the state’s energy grid and population centers. But the U.S. Navy objected to siting any offshore wind developments on most of the coast, saying it would veto potential plans from Los Angeles to north of Big Sur because they could interfere with military testing operations. The Navy has since agreed not to oppose two sites — off Morrow and Humboldt bays. Back in 2018, Redwood Coast Offshore Wind, a partnership between Redwood Energy Authority, Ocean Winds and Aker Offshore Wind, submitted an unsolicited lease request with BOEM to begin the process of creating an offshore wind farm off Humboldt Bay. The request has essentially sat in purgatory as BOEM has weighed its options, but will now be included in what’s being called the North Coast Call Area. RCEA Director Matthew Marshall said BOEM will now undergo an approximately year-long process of doing an initial environmental review with the aim of opening the sites up for auction some time in 2022. Redwood Coast Offshore Wind, Marshall said, plans to bid with the goal of developing a 100- to 150-megawatt project that will generate an amount of electricity roughly equivalent to the Pacific Gas & Electric natural gas power plan through 10 to 15 wind turbines. “It’s the appropriate scale, I think, for a

first step,” Marshall said, adding that there would be the potential to expand in the future. However, a factor that will significantly limit the scale of any project off the North Coast is the fact that the energy infrastructure does not currently exist to export large amounts of electricity from Humboldt County to other parts of the electric grid. Changing that would require either extending high-capacity power lines east through Trinity County to connect with the state grid in Cottonwood or building an undersea transport system to the south, both of which would come with price tags in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Consequently, Marshall said he thinks there will be less bidding interest from companies looking to develop off the North Coast. “I think it’s going to be a lot more competitive on the central coast,” he said. “The transmission constraints up here are really well known and the opportunity up here is much more modest, at least for the foreseeable future.” Marshall said BOEM’s auction will be what’s known as multi-vector, meaning it will take into account community benefits agreements and other “nonfinancial elements.” That said, such auctions are known to fetch lucrative bids, with one for three sites off Massachusetts’ coast in 2018 fetching a collective $405.1 million. Marshall said RCEA did a lot of community engagement work back in 2018, even reaching a memorandum of understanding with the Humboldt Fishermen’s Marketing Association in which they agree to work together to identify, avoid, minimize and mitigate impacts to the commercial fishing industry, that he hopes will garner community support and bolster their bid.

A key component in determining the viability of offshore wind on the North Coast will be proposed improvements to the infrastructure at the Port of Humboldt Bay, which got a shot in the arm last week, too, with the allocation of $11 million in Newsom’s budget proposal. The Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and

Conservation District hopes to leverage the funds to secure another $44 million in matching funds, with a grant application due July 30. “Humboldt Bay is a deep draft port with under-utilized coastal dependent industrial land that could be revitalized and upgraded for staging floating offshore

wind projects,” District Executive Director Larry Oetker said in a press release. “Developing a purpose-built port facility for the staging, construction, long-term operations and maintenance of offshore wind projects will position Humboldt County to maximize local economic and job creating benefits associated with offshore wind.” Currently, the entrance to Humboldt Bay is deep and wide enough to accommodate barges pulling the wind turbines to port for maintenance but the docks in the bay — all of which were built primarily for loading and unloading wood products — can’t handle the weight of the turbines, which run some 500 tons. The needed improvements to the docks and the addition of massive hoists needed to move the turbines could also create a host of other shipping opportunities.

While the project would initially depend on turbines built elsewhere and shipped into Humboldt Bay, there’s the potential they could eventually be manufactured on the Samoa Peninsula, as well, which could create scores of well-paying jobs and reverberating financial impacts. For the immediate future, however, Marshall said RCEA is focused on re-engaging the local community and various stakeholders in preparation for the bid process. Once bids are approved, he said there would be numerous project-specific layers of environmental review and licensing. “The partners we’re working with are committed to offshore wind in general, and particularly to trying to move a project forward here,” he said. “I’m optimistic.” l Journal staff writer Iridian Casarez contributed to this report.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 3, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

OVID-19 vaccines are now widely available and are beginning to bring about an end to this yearlong pandemic. We are fortunate to have a generous supply of vaccines here in the United States and I encourage everyone to take advantage of this. If you have not been vaccinated yet, go for it! Any minor side effects you experience are much less risky than contracting COVID-19 itself. Clinical trials showed that all three approved vaccines for COVID are safe and effective. The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines that work by introducing mRNA into our cells, which instructs the cell to create a COVID-19 spike protein. When this protein is introduced to the immune system, it trains the human immune system to react against the protein, protecting us from COVID-19. After the cell produces the COVID protein, the mRNA is broken down and destroyed, so it does not remain in our systems. In these clinical trials, both of the mRNA vaccines were found to be 94 to 95 percent effective and, incredibly, they were 100 percent effective against severe disease that led to hospitalization and death. Side effects include fever, chills, fatigue and headache. Contrary to some of the circulating myths, these vaccines are not made with live viruses, they do not cause infertility, and they do not change human DNA. They don’t contain microchips or any other tracking devices. They are safe, effective and prevent a terrible life-threatening disease. The Johnson & Johnson’s Jannsen COVID vaccine is a viral vector vaccine that uses a harmless virus to carry DNA into cells where it causes the cell to manufacture the COVID spike protein. This protein, in turn, triggers our immune system to recognize and fight off the COVID virus. This vaccine did produce one rare but serious side effect in women: low platelets and abnormal blood clots occurred in about seven out of 1 million recipients. Although grave, this side effect is incredibly rare and treatable

if caught early. Minor side effects included fainting, soreness, fever, headache, fatigue, chills and nausea. Again, contrary to circulating misconceptions, this vaccine cannot give you COVID nor can it change your DNA. National Public Radio reported that more Republicans plan to refuse the COVID vaccine than Democrats. Has it become part of the Republican identity to reject vaccines? It’s ironic that one of Trump’s great accomplishments, “Operation Warp Speed,” succeeded in producing safe, effective, free vaccines that many of his supporters will refuse. I hope Trump will encourage his vaccine-hesitant followers to change their stance and vaccinate. The physicians I work with were thrilled to be able to get vaccinated and lined up to receive their shots as soon as they were available. I had a sore arm for a day after my first shot, and some fatigue for a day after the second one. Some of my colleagues got side effects, while others did not. There does not seem to be any good way to predict who will get them and who won’t. However, we all felt that these minor inconveniences paled in comparison to the suffering undergone by patients with severe COVID infections. Currently, people in Humboldt County are still dying and being hospitalized regularly with COVID infections. One of the best reasons to vaccinate is to protect your friends, family and other people around you. Currently, children under the age of 12 cannot get the vaccine, so if the rest of us vaccinate, we can protect these vulnerable children. What better reason can you find to roll up your sleeve? ● Emily Dalton (she/her) is a pediatrician at the Eureka Community Health Center with the Open Door Clinic System.

A ‘Way of Life at Risk’

he catastrophic drought that is striking the West seems to have gotten the attention of Congress. On May 25, North Coast Representative Jared Huffman chaired a virtual bipartisan hearing on the status of drought conditions in an area that extends from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Northwest. Huffman is no stranger to environmental issues, being a member of several congressional committees and subcommittees that supervise federal water projects, fisheries management, coastal zone and oceans policy, and wildlife and endangered species. The hearing of the Water, Oceans and Wildlife Subcommittee Huffman chairs, consisted of nine expert witnesses, who each gave five minutes of testimony. It was followed by two hours of discussion and questions from members of Congress, some thoughtful and some critical, and occasionally reminding the viewer of an overcrowded lifeboat. One of the expert witnesses was Amy Cordalis, counsel for the drought-ravaged Yurok Tribe. Wearing a traditional Yurok woven cap, she described the effects of watching a river starting to disintegrate in front of her eyes. “From time immemorial, the Yurok lifeway has centered around the Klamath River. Drought puts our natural resourc-

es and way of life at risk,” she said. “The Yurok Reservation is in one of the most remote areas in California. We are hundreds of miles away from state or federal offices. The tribal government responds to emergencies like drought. In the next few months, we anticipate hundreds of homes will be without drinking water because the streams will run dry. “Fire risk is extremely high,” she continued. “Last year, the Yurok Reservation was surrounded by wildfires for days and experienced the worst air quality on the planet. For two weeks, the reservation and surrounding areas were covered in a shroud of smoke. Many community members are still suffering from the health problems caused by such poor air quality. We anticipate this will happen again and are making preparation.” She emphasized that the tribe needed funding if the commercial fishermen and their families were to survive the drought. “Fish disease is rampant on the Klamath River,” she said. “We have already lost nearly an entire class of baby salmon from fish disease. This will have a long-term impact on the Klamath stock, reducing the size of future harvests available to tribal and offshore commercial fishermen. Adding insult to injury, the remaining and the returning 2021 adult salmon class is historically low. As a conservation measure, the tribe canceled its 2021 commercial fishery.

‘Mission, Values, Vision’

Leaked text messages and an ensuing investigation reveal a toxic culture in at least one unit at EPD By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n March 16, 2018, Eureka Police Chief Steve Watson, then just six months into the job, sent a memo to all department personnel with the subject line: “Mission, values, vision and goals for EPD.” “As we work together to move the Eureka Police Department forward in a positive direction for 2018 and beyond, it is important for everyone to understand the vision, values and goals we hold in support of our mission,” Watson, a former theologian and substitute teacher, wrote. “These five broad departmental purposes should operate in balance and harmony, and guide all that we do.” He then went on to list each: “1) Create a culture of accountability and professional excellence. 2) Build a positive work environment and an atmosphere of trust.

3) Find our identity as a customer/community service-oriented department. 4) Cultivate and support creative, collaborative crime fighters. 5) Safeguard and enhance public trust.” He then closed by urging EPD employees to “do what’s right, do the best you can and treat people the way you’d like to be treated.” On March 17, 2021, the Sacramento Bee published an explosive report detailing vulgar, misogynistic and dehumanizing text messages sent between a group of officers that someone leaked to the paper. The Journal has since independently corroborated the texts through a California Public Records Act request and uncovered others not included in the Bee’s reporting. Together, they depict a unit — led by Sgt. Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez, a 22-year veteran of the department — with a prevailing culture that objecti-

fies and dehumanizes women, embraces violence and detests homeless people. In the immediate aftermath of the Bee’s report, Watson announced that he’d placed two officers — Reyna-Sanchez and Mark Meftah, who combined to send the vast majority of the offensive texts — on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The city quickly entered into a far-reaching contract with the Bay Area law firm Sacks, Ricketts and Case LLP, giving the firm sole authority in determining “the means, manner and findings related to the investigation” and “full discretion” to conduct the investigation without the city “influencing or interfering with the outcome.” Just last week, Watson confirmed to the Journal that he has also placed one of EPD’s two captains — Patrick O’Neill, a 26-year veteran of the department who oversaw its Field Operations Division,

which includes patrol — on administrative leave. Citing confidentiality laws related to police officer personnel files, Watson declined to say whether putting O’Neill on leave stemmed from the texting investigation or something else, saying, “It is the city’s policy not to comment regarding ongoing investigations or identify officers who may be subject to disciplinary actions.” But several current and former Humboldt County law enforcement officers interviewed for this story, all of whom declined to be identified discussing EPD’s personnel matters, said internal affairs investigations have a way of sprawling, sometimes uncovering misconduct unrelated to the initial scope of the investigation that also warrants looking into. In this way, there’s often no telling where these types of investigations will go or what they might uncover.

Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

According to billing invoices received through a public records request, Sacks, Ricketts and Case had billed the city for 47.9 hours of work through April at a total cost of almost $17,000 Todd Simonson, a partner at the firm who signed its firm’s contract with the city, declined to comment on the investigation’s scope or timeline when contacted by the Journal. What is clear, though, is that many in and around EPD and city hall feel the stakes of the investigation and its outcome are incredibly high. “Public trust is hard to earn and easy to lose,” Mayor Susan Seaman said in a statement shortly after the Bee’s report. “People are angry and they should be. I’m angry. There is no excuse for the demeaning, disrespectful content reported to have been included in those messages.”

The Texts Responding to a request seeking all text messages exchanged between members of Sanchez’s unit over a three-year span, which asked for messages sent and received on officers’ personal cell phones, the city asked officers who worked on the unit to turn over any messages they had pertaining to police work. If officers said they did not have any, the city asked them to sign a declaration, under penalty of perjury, to that effect. Of the more than one dozen officers who worked on the unit over the time period, all but two submitted declarations saying they did not have any text messages pertaining to police business, though there would have been nothing to prevent officers from simply deleting any such messages from their phones after the Bee’s report published but before the records request was submitted. Of the two who turned over messages — officers Matthew White and Ben

Altic — White’s is the only batch that includes texts referenced in the Bee’s reporting. They span a period of about six months from January through July of 2020, and include messages that objectify and demean women, dehumanize homeless people and seem to fly in the face of the “sanctity of life” principles Watson has repeatedly espoused for the department. Throughout the messages, Reyna-Sanchez and Meftah are the two officers who repeatedly cross the bounds of decency, while other officers only rarely chime in and others — like White — don’t send a single text. While some of the texts are indicative of a kind of junior high school locker room mindset in which officers make jokes about each other’s penis size and masturbation, others are far more troubling. In one thread reportedly discussing a woman “who was known to shoplift and who also had a history of mental illness,” according to the Bee, Reyna-Sanchez urges his subordinates to “get pics of her rack!!” To which Meftah replies, “Saggy ol udders.” In other threads, Reyna-Sanchez refers to a former Humboldt County health officer as “bitch,” a term he also uses for a woman contacted at Motel 6. “You all dealt with the Motel 6 snatch again this morning huh. Hope someone got to punch her in her batch mouth,” officer Nicholas Jones responds. He then immediately texts again to correct his typo, “Bitch.” On Feb. 26, the unit got word that one of its officers — Ryan Cassidy — would be temporarily moving to another shift, with a female officer taking his place. Reyna-Sanchez does not hide his feelings about his subordinate from her colleagues. Continued on page 17 »

“I have voiced my concerns about her incompetence and officer safety issues and they have fallen on deaf ears,” he writes. “Seems the powers that be feel [her previous unit] is too green to correct any issues that she has, and she had a lot of issues … so they’re putting her on days so that all u veteran officers can unfuck her.” Jones then inquires about how many “personal” breaks the female officer would get. “Well she needs to milk herself,” Reyna-Sanchez responds, then making reference to her and another female officer on his unit — Young Porambo — having a “safe room.” “It’s a fucking cry room sarge,” Porambo responds on the thread, apparently distancing herself from other female officers on the force. “Those bitches need a fucking cry room.” In an April 18, 2020, exchange, Reyna-Sanchez notes that someone is having flowers sent to the department’s animal control officer, saying, it would “be nice if we could all be at the pd to clap for her … maybe she’ll jump up and down???” “I’ll be there for the jumping,” Jones

responds. In another thread on Feb. 26, Meftah makes fun of Reyna-Sanchez for having just taken his Christmas lights down, noting, “It’s almost March man.” “Yea,” Reyna-Sanchez responds. “I only have access to one set of tits … when the owner of those tits says, don’t take them down yet, they stay up.” In another thread, Reyna-Sanchez updates his fellow officers on a police standoff with John Karl Sieger, which ended with the reportedly suicidal military veteran being fatally shot after pointing a gun at officers, telling them the “pos is at st joes with several extra holes in him!!” When Sieger is identified, Reyna-Sanchez refers to him as a “weird fucker” and makes fun of the decals Sieger put on his car. In other exchanges, Reyna-Sanchez notes he has “some payback” for a suspect and in another thread urges his subordinates to “face shoot” a suspect who bailed out of jail, noting the suspect allegedly stole a tactical vest Reyna-Sanchez had loaned to code enforcement. On June 6, 2020, Meftah tells the unit that U.S. Highway 101 is closed in Del

Norte County due to a standoff with a man with a gun. “Can we go???” he asks. “I need to work out some frustrations.” Much of the vulgarity and vitriol in the threads is directed at local homeless residents, whom the officers refer to as “trogs,” an apparent reference to troglodytes, or cave dwellers. When a fire broke out at John’s Used Cars and Wreckers on Jacobs Avenue, which Reyna-Sanchez said was loaded with oil and fuel, Meftah quipped, “I’ll go gather some trogs and herd them inside.” In another exchange, an officer jokes about using a giant bubble resembling a hamster ball to protect against COVID, as Jones says he’d like to roll it down the “buhne hill.” “We’ll set up some trogs like bowling pins at the bottom!!” Reyna-Sanchez replies. On April 19, 2020, Meftah, seemingly unprompted, asks, “You think if we ask nicely we could get the helicopter crew to do a really low pass over old town and decapitate a bunch of trogs?” “It would have to be a really low pass

… they’re all still sleeping,” Reyna-Sanchez replies. In another thread, the officers seem to espouse a philosophy regarding homeless services at odds with the one adopted by the department, which in recent years has been very supportive and actively partnered with various organizations offering free meal and other programs. In the thread, Meftah posts a photo of a man feeding pigeons. “This pictures sums up what’s wrong with Eka,” he writes. “Feeding the birds just empowers them and makes them stay. Zoom in and note the birds perched on the roof line waiting to swarm the guy and just take his shit if he doesn’t give it to them. Note more birds flying in because they heard there was free handouts. Now they are all shitting everywhere and this dude doesn’t know what the fuck to do with the situation he created!” “Yes,” responds Reyna-Sanchez. “One of my write ups involved comparing the homeless to pigeons and how if we feed them they won’t ever leave!!!”

Process In the wake of the Bee’s article, dozens of people turned out to several protests to call for the officers’ firing, incensed Reyna-Sanchez and Meftah were simply on paid-administrative leave. But, as Watson has explained, the officers have protections guaranteed by law. Known as the Police Officer’s Procedural Bill of Rights, a powerful collection of state laws guarantee officers due process rights that most employees simply do not have. These rights ensure that officers aren’t disciplined — or suspended without pay — absent an investigation and a sustained finding of wrongdoing. Additionally, they guarantee officers access to an attorney through a legal defense fund, an advisement of the allegations against them and an opportunity to prepare for interrogation. And the rights guarantee that the interrogation be conducted in a specific manner, with only one officer questioning them at a time, and that any investigation be completed within one year. State laws also fiercely protect officers’ disciplinary records. Senate Bill 1421, passed in 2018, was considered a landmark transparency bill in California as it, for the first time, compelled departments to release the findings of internal investigations into officer involved shootings, uses of force causing serious bodily injury and sustained findings of dishonesty or sexual assault. But virtually any other sustained finding of officer misconduct in the state remains protected, prohibiting departments from even advising other officers

Eureka Police Chief Steve Watson (right) talks to Capt. Patrick O'Neill at the scene of a recent shooting in Eureka. Photo by Mark McKenna of an investigations’ findings and ensuing disciplinary action. For example, when it comes to Meftah and Reyna-Sanchez, the Journal requested any disciplinary records releasable under Senate Bill 1421 and the city said there are none, meaning neither has faced a sustained allegation of dishonesty or sexual assault. But beyond that, their disciplinary records remain secret. We do know, ironically due to the released text messages, that Reyna-Sanchez faced a complaint in February of 2020, though we don’t know if any disciplinary action ensued. “For those of u who came to my rescue yesterday … the male subject filed a complaint against me,” he texted his unit. “Seems he took offense to me telling him he was being retarded … anyway, expect the (captain) to call u in at some point to ask if u saw/heard me say that … I’ve already corrected him and told him that my actual words were, you’re real close to going to jail for being fucking retarded!!” Ultimately, Watson holds a tremendous amount of discretion in how discipline will

be meted out as this investigation moves forward, though he will surely lean heavily on Sacks, Rickets & Case’s findings and recommendations. According to the firm’s website, Simonson, the partner, represents management in “all areas of labor and employment law, with an emphasis on matters involving public safety employees.” His bio on the site notes he has more than 20 years of internal investigative experience and has “prevailed in numerous arbitrations and administrative appeals upholding serious disciplinary action.” While some departments have a discipline matrix for violations of policies and procedures that specify certain ranges of punishment for specific malfeasance, EPD does not, meaning Watson has wide latitude. And whatever disciplinary decisions he makes are appealable — first to the city’s personnel board, then to the city council. But due to the constraints of the laws governing police officer disciplinary Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, June 3, 2021 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

records, there seems a significant chance the public will never know exactly what this investigation finds and what actions are taken as a result.

‘Time Will Tell’ When looking at the current controversy facing the Eureka Police Department, it’s also important to note that it is just the latest to enmesh the department over the past two decades. After a string of five fatal officer-involved shootings in the span of 15 months and amid overtime costs that were spiraling out of control and eating into the city budget, Eureka hired Garr Nielsen from out of state to take over as the department’s chief in April of 2007, with the goal of reform. Nielsen quickly set about making changes — disbanding the department’s SWAT team, tapping the California Attorney General’s Office to investigate any officer-involved shootings, clamping down on overtime costs and outfitting patrol cars with dash cameras — but he faced fierce resistance. The situation quickly turned ugly, with an anonymous blog airing departmental dirty laundry and salacious accusations, leaving Nielsen facing what some dubbed an “insurrection” from officers intent on running him out of town until he was fired without cause after four years on the job. When Adam Laird, who had been promoted to sergeant under Nielsen, was later arrested and charged with committing assault while on duty for allegedly using excessive force in the arrest of a juvenile suspect, Nielsen went so far as to pen a sworn-declaration saying he believed elements of EPD’s “old guard wouldn’t hesitate to frame Laird for a crime in order to force him out of EPD.” Nielsen went on to identify this “old guard” as a group that included Reyna-Sanchez, current EPD Capt. Brian Stephens and others who have since left the force. Criminal charges against Laird were later dropped but Nielsen’s declaration stands as a reminder of just how nasty some feel the department’s internal turmoil can get. In recent weeks, some people purporting to be EPD employees have penned anonymous letters to a local blog, airing strings of accusations that seem alternately aimed at defending Meftah and Reyna-Sanchez by casting dispersions on other officers or further impugning their character. The situation certainly has shades of turmoil in the department’s past. Asked about the operational challenges of running a department currently operating without a captain, a sergeant and an officer, all on administrative leave, Watson

noted impacts can reverberate beyond staffing logistics. “The internal impacts of these kinds of investigations, including on staff, workload and morale, can be significant,” he said. “But we cannot allow these challenges to ever deter us from doing the right thing, holding ourselves accountable before the community and each other, and from conducting thorough, complete, fair and objective fact-finding investigations.” Regarding morale, it seems worth noting that both O’Neill and Reyna-Sanchez’s spouses are also employees of the department. In the aftermath of the Bee’s report, the Journal has reached out to dozens of officers who have left EPD over the past five years. Most declined to comment or didn’t return calls. Most of those who did declined to be identified speaking publicly about their experiences. But Katherine Howden, who retired in 2016 after 26 years with EPD, during which she became the first female officer to serve on a SWAT team in Humboldt County, served as a field training officer and supervised the criminal investigations services division, agreed to share some thoughts. She said it seems the department has made some “solid advancements” under Watson. “I believe, having worked with him, that his morals, integrity and commitment to the community are unwavering,” she said. “However, the Eureka Police Department and Humboldt County, in general, have a long road ahead if the goal is to become evolved, unbiased and effective in public safety.” When it comes to the content of the text messages first reported by the Bee, Howden said she wasn’t surprised. “I can honestly say that while I was surprised by the boldness of delivery regarding the events leading to the outside investigation, I wasn’t at all surprised by the content,” she said. “Eureka PD has some very good people working for the organization and I’m sure they’re collectively disappointed right now. I’m also sure that those same good folks will continue to do the work professionally and justly, for the community and for their pride in the profession. “I certainly hope that the sequence of events coming to light finally brings a sea-change that Eureka so badly needs,” Howden continued. “Time will tell.” l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Trucks on the Patio Pig and Leaf and The Nosh park it By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Some pig Opening the county’s first cannabis consumption lounge without food would have been an opportunity missed. And so the upscale Pig and Leaf truck is installed at Papa & Barkley Social’s patio (4325 Broadway, Eureka), complete with heat lamps and fire pits, on the site of the old Kmart that, I’m told, opened with fanfare by the Eureka High School marching band back in the ’80s. The only throwback from that period now is the sign for a smoking section. The minimalist black Pig and Leaf truck is one of three food operations Pawel Gago, also owner-operator of Pizza Gago, is executive chef for as part of the expanding Humboldt Social empire, along with Jetty at the Humboldt Bay Social Club and the restaurant in the works at the Scotia Lodge. “I always said I didn’t want to open a restaurant and now I’m opening multiple ones,” says Gago over the phone. Mobile businesses, he says, always appealed for their flexibility, which paid off during the pandemic, when he was able to put the pizza kitchen “on pause” without worrying about rent or other pricey overhead concerns of brick and mortar restaurants. That and the shifting restrictions on dining make trucks the model of the moment. If the name has you dreaming about infused bacon, sorry; serving food with cannabis still forbidden by the health department. On the bright side, you’ll find a menu going broader and aiming higher than one might, given that some of its patrons will be there for the weed and enjoying its palate-boosting effects. As with his pizza menu, Gago built Pig and Leaf’s menu around “things I like to eat — big, bold flavors,” with influences and spice profiles drawn from Middle Eastern, Latin American and Asian cuisines, and including vegan jackfruit options. The pork drumettes, morsels that easily slip their fore shank bones, come with the option of an Indonesian-inspired coconut, pineapple garlic, onion and turmeric glaze. The Eastern Mediterranean lamb pita takes advantage of the charring of a vertical broiler

and overnighting in a Turkish marinade of allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and black pepper. It’s a favorite of Head Chef Olivia Resendes. “The flavors are so warm, it’s really beautiful.” Also near and dear to her are the take on churros, fingers of eggy pâte à choux dough fried and tossed with cinnamon sugar, served with a ganache that’s equal parts chocolate and cream. She first made them from leftover dough at the Carter House’s Restaurant 301, where she served as executive chef before the pandemic. “It was just one of those things borne out of experimenting and being hungry,” she says. It’s a bit of a logistical challenge in a truck but worth it. (For traditional Mexican churros, however, she heads to Eureka’s El Pueblo Market and Panaderia at 312 Washington St.) Resendes, who’s listened to many a restaurant kitchen staffer daydream about the freedom of a truck, may be a convert to mobile service. She says it’s a sprint in comparison to the marathon of serving courses and customers’ expectations are focused more on the food and socializing than being served. “You walk up to the window, you’re kind of yelling your order because it’s loud,” she says, laughing. “You’re here to relax … it’s a different mindset than going out for a five-course meal and it’s just different. It’s very good.”

Posh Nosh Over at Septentrio Winery’s tricked-out grounds (650 Sixth St., Arcata), The Nosh’s behemoth black truck has made a home between the tented patio and clusters of Adirondack chairs. “Food and feeding people is just a huge part of my life,” says Nosh owner Casandra Kelly, who also runs Casandra Kelly Catering. And they’ve gone at it from a number of angles, including working at a dozen Humboldt farms (including Flying Blue Dog, Neukam Family Farm and Luna Farms), at Food for People and a stint at Campground. During the pandemic, they ran a couple of pop-ups at the winery and smaller catering gigs that allowed them to stretch a little.

316 E st • OLD TOWN EUREKA • 443-7187 “It was just a really fun way to try different menus,” they say. “I wouldn’t say it was easy but it made me think differently about how I create food … I’ve never done dim sum and I did a huge dim sum night — I don’t know if it was successful but I did it.” Part of considering how Kelly runs The Nosh’s kitchen is being up front about it as a queer-owned and queer-run business. “I just like to put it out there that we do our best not only to create a dining experience but also an inclusive space.” The Nosh’s menu recalls some of the foods Kelly was raised on. “I grew up in L.A. in a very Jewish family. My grandparents came from the East Coast and we had bagel Sundays, matzo ball soup and things.” Their Los Angeles neighborhood had a lot of Armenian and Persian food as well, influences that come through in the flavors of mint and sumac in their dishes. The lamb sliders, for example, are a half beef mixture common in Armenian cooking and have a saffron aioli and a scallion-mint salsa by chef Joseph Cadorette. The tender meatballs are well spiced against the bright salsa and yield enough juice to make you grateful for the absorbency of the airy, pebble-skinned little rolls on which they’re skewered.

In the specials rotation, there’s a wagyu flat-iron steak and a prime cut filet, as well as a family-style whole grilled fish with salsa on Thursday nights. A standout among the Bites section of the menu are the bacalao cigarillos, crisp wonton skins rolled around a custardy filling of salted cod, potato, cheese and cream. Brunch is in the works for the near future, too, and Kelly is looking at more Middle Eastern and Spanish dishes, like shakshuka, as well as a dulce de leche and babka French toast. Kelly hopes to broaden a few palates with a fancier presentation of Middle Eastern food, including tangy amba (Larrupin fans, branch out) and herby schug ketchup, maybe sabich, the Persian roasted eggplant sandwiches they recall eating in Israel. Middle Eastern food, they say with a little sigh, is “yummy, comforting food to eat and really great for the summertime.”

“LARGEST BRAND SELECTION IN THE COUNTY”

espite being 10 years apart in age and opposites in many ways, my sister and I are very close. On past vacations, my pile of rusty, muddy camping gear would sit in one corner, smelling questionable, while her pile was in the other corner, her pink sunglasses and pink bathing suit smelling like perfume from her matching suitcases. She is nothing short of amazing — her speech at my wedding was like a gorgeous stand-up comedian tugging at your heartstrings, leaving your stomach muscles sore from laughter while you wiped away your tears. After weighing the risks and quarantining, she came to stay with me last July. With limited options for exploring, we found a packraft in my garage. I told my husband, “I didn’t know we had a packraft, why haven’t we used this before?” To which he pointed out the words on the box in my handwriting: “packraft and stuff.” Well, OK. Sister and I decided to hike upstream from my house on the Mad River, the unceded territory of the Wiyot and Whilut tribes, and float down in this K-Mart quality packraft, imagining a languorous float on a warm day. “Is this a crazy idea?” I asked her. “No!” she said. We left later than we should have, procrastinating in the fog and morning chill. We walked a few miles upriver, barely reaching the edge of the fog layer, still feeling too chilly to jump in the clear, green water. Even with goosebumps, we felt like kids at summer camp. We blew up the raft, lightheaded and ready for anything. Both of us are full-on southern women born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, and she couldn’t understand how it was the height of summer yet so “cold” here on the coast. Sometimes I don’t understand the weather here either. A down jacket on Fourth of July? Now that’s just as rude as taking the last piece of fried chicken. The cool breeze reminded us of the ocean’s proximity and at the last minute

we decided to take windbreakers, which was a rare moment of grounded brilliance in a string of questionable decisions. We had to repair the raft with Gorilla Tape before it even touched the water. When we launched our unpromising vessel, it spun around a few times and we stared at the motionless current in a deep pool. We slowly picked our way downstream with one and a half plastic paddles that resembled toys. The water was lower than I expected after late spring rains and soon we developed a system of yelling, “Lift!” when we needed to lie across the gunwales (if you could call these limp balloons that) and lift our butts up to avoid scraping the rocks too hard. The wind picked up and pushed us upstream, and I calculated we would not make it before dark. Damn. Damn the late start and the wind, and the cold, and the lack of snacks. My sister asked me how often people did this float and I responded, “Um … I’ve never actually heard of anyone floating this section of river.” Her city-girl eyes bulged. I reassured her, “It’s fine! I’m sure we’ll be fine. There aren’t any rapids.” She looked at me skeptically, trusting me in a hesitating, I-have-no-other-option-why-are-you-my-sister sort of way. I reminded her that she once bedazzled part of my car when I let her borrow it. It got colder and we developed a new, somewhat efficient system of dumping out the flooded boat and re-inflating the raft. We continued to scrape against countless rocks and walk over small rapids. This wasn’t the sunny, summertime float I had imagined. Our paddles were useless against the headwind from the west and at times it felt like we were paddling in place because we were. Halfway down,

we carefully retrieved the phone from the drybag, noting our meager progress and vowing to walk more sections with our numb, sandaled feet. Sister wore socks under her sandals to save herself from blisters and wouldn’t let them appear in any photos. I apologized to her, nervous that she wasn’t having fun on our river trip turned arctic expedition. She smiled, noticed we were surrounded by trees and sunshine, and said, “This is amazing! This is the best day ever!” Well, OK. More hours passed and I just hoped to make it home before dark. Of course, we didn’t bring lights or much of anything practical (we did bring a beer each). Nearing dusk, we made it to the take-out, feeling victorious. My sister felt proud of us, as if we were two heroines in our own version of Lewis and Clark. I reminded her we weren’t far from my house but that didn’t matter. We created our own adventure and explored a piece of this globe where neither of us had set foot or paddle before. Adventure is a mindset. This epic micro-adventure ended with us carrying our deflated raft home at sunset, slogging slowly through the golden hour and laughing our butts off at our own ridiculousness. We were cold, wet, tired and hungry, but couldn’t stop smiling, or thinking about a warm meal. There is no better way to spend time with a sister than in unfamiliar territory, stomach muscles sore from laughter. ● Hollie Ernest (she/her) is a botanist and forestry technician on hiatus from an international bike tour.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Trinidad, Crescent City Kicking Out Limits of Rockfish By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

he rockfish bite continues to be red-hot out of Trinidad and Crescent City. Both ports have quick access to the rockfish grounds, making it much easier to be on the water even when the ocean is a little snotty. And the fishing has been phenomenal. Limits have been pretty easy to come by. In Trinidad, there are plenty of good spots between the head and Patrick’s Point. Up in Crescent City, there is an abundance of rocky outcroppings whether you head north or south to the Sisters. The Eureka fleet, having to deal with a dangerous bar crossing as well as a long boat ride south to Cape Mendocino, hasn’t had nearly the amount of time on the water compared with the other coastal ports. For the entire month of May, the fleet has seen less than 10 fishable days. That’s not necessarily good for business or the freezer. It looks like the weather will cooperate for the next few days before the wind pops back up Saturday. If it’s rockfish you’re after, Trinidad or Crescent City are the two best options going.

Weekend marine forecast

The next few days look decent but the wind is predicted to pick up by the weekend. Friday’s forecast calls for winds out of the north 5 to 15 knots and waves northwest 5 feet at six seconds and west 3 feet at 11 seconds. Saturday is not looking good, with north winds 15 to 20 knots and waves northwest 8 feet at eight seconds and northwest 5 feet at 17 seconds. Sunday looks a little worse, with north winds 10 to 20 knots and north waves 10 feet at eight seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/ eureka/ or www.windy.com. To monitor the latest Humboldt bar conditions, visit www. wrh.noaa.gov/eka/swan. You can also call the National Weather Service at 443-7062 or the office on Woodley Island at 443-6484.

The Oceans: Eureka

Wind and rough seas kept the Eureka boats tied up over the holiday weekend. The Pacific halibut fishing was good last week, with the best fishing between

Eureka and Trinidad in 250 to 300 feet of water. Several of the charter boats returned to port with limits of halibut averaging 15 to 25 pounds. Ocean conditions look decent starting Wednesday, but the wind is forecast to return by the weekend.

Trinidad

Being within a few miles of the fishing grounds continues to be a huge advantage for boats fishing out of Trinidad. Rockfish, including this nice copper caught by Vern Lyton, Ocean conditions weren’t of Weed, continue to fly over the rails in Trinidad and great late last week, but the Crescent City.

Shelter Cove

Ocean conditions allowed boats to hit Rogers Break last Monday and Thursday, reports Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “The rockfish and lingcod bite was great as it usually is up there,” said Mitchell. “The weather kept us close to home the rest of the week where we managed limits of rockfish in marginal conditions. A few boats tried for Pacific halibut off Gorda Thursday, but couldn’t find any takers. Windy conditions are in the forecast for most of the week.”

Crescent City

When the boats can get out, the rockfish and lingcod action has been excellent, according to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. “Boats going both directions have been scoring limits of quality rockfish and some nice lings. The Pacific halibut bite is starting to show signs of life as two were caught last week. Most of the effort is on the backside of the south reef roughly six miles from the harbor,” he said. “Skilled diggers have been

Brookings

“The ocean salmon openers are just around the corner out of Brookings,” said Andy Martin. “Anglers can begin salmon fishing and keep hatchery coho on June 12. Kings cannot be kept until June 19, when the season opens for both wild and hatchery kings and hatchery silvers. There are big schools of anchovies near the harbor and salmon are being caught and released by bottom fish anglers. Windy weather has kept the fleet in close but limits of rockfish and some lingcod are being caught. A break in the wind is expected this week.” Read the complete fishing roundup at www.northcoastjournal.com. ● Kenny Priest (he/him) operates Fishing the North Coast, a fishing guide service out of Humboldt specializing in salmon and steelhead.

Back to the Big Screen For Cruella and A Quiet Place Part II By John J. Bennett

REVIEWS

I certainly didn’t plan for it but I wasn’t alone: Apparently something in the collective consciousness motivated great droves of us in the same direction. Maybe the denial/resignation I observed setting in six months ago has finally become as contagious as the virus that was and is its subject. Vaccination and the promise of summer may have created a cocktail of permission, infused with a hint of normalcy. Most likely, some inchoate amalgamation of all these forces, urges and frustrations just ... made it happen. I went back to the movies. It was remarkable for being unremarkable. I had a mask on, a number of people didn’t, but that’s as much part of normal as anything. The normalcy of it — the sense memory of theater seats and popcorn smells — was the defining characteristic. Oh, and the fact that I haven’t missed seeing movies in crowds. I can count on one hand the number of theater-going experiences that have actually been enhanced by the communal experience, those rare occasions when everybody showed up for the same reason, shut up when they were supposed to, laughed in the same places and worshipped at the altar of the moving image. This weekend, despite a pair of legitimately exciting movies to see on a big screen, was business as

usual: the non-stop concession procession, the screaming toddler, the dog in the front row, the idle chatter, the narration of scenes playing out in real time. The only thing missing, mercifully, was somebody answering the phone at a climactic moment. There’s a lot of talk about saving theaters and preserving the movie-going experience as affordable, accessible family entertainment, and rightfully so. I revere the medium and respect the unifying capability of its place in our culture. I would rather sit in a cool, dark room with a huge screen and great speakers and watch movies than do most things. I just wish people could be better at it. Still and all, I was glad, in my curmudgeonly way, to go back. And I celebrate the collective participation of the moviegoing public as a step toward healing from the weird, dull horror of the last year and half. CRUELLA. My reaction to the latestage, live-action Disney reimaginings of their classic catalog has been mixed, to say the least. While my enjoyment and opinion of their narrative success has varied wildly, I cannot fault any of them for lack of imagination or production value. Even the most poorly conceived Disney Continued on next page »

movie still gleams with vision unfettered by budget. And when the elements truly cohere, when the story works and the casting is right and the creative team share the vision, the dream factory can produce something remarkable: an atmospheric, transportive experience that reminds even cynical bastards like myself of the wonder and delight only movies can produce. It’s possible I’ve gone goofy but Cruella has an inordinate magic to it and I deeply enjoyed it. Young Estella (Tipper Seifert-Cleveland), refusing to submit to the cruelty of her classmates, is targeted by the school’s administration as a discipline problem. Her mother (Emily Beecham), believing fully in her daughter’s vision and integrity, removes her from the school and sets out for London. Tragedy befalls them enroute, though, and Estella finds herself an orphan on the city’s streets. She throws in with a couple of thieves and a decade passes, during which time she continues to cultivate a passion for fashion design (and is played by Emma Stone). A happy accident lands her a job with the Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson), who operates the foremost atelier in the land. Estella’s talent gains her access to the Baroness, as well as an insight into the true content of her employer’s character. This, of course, provides a point of entry for Cruella, our protagonist’s alter-ego, a brazen, brilliant, near-maniacal rival to the Baroness. Director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl, 2007; I, Tonya, 2017) works out with some stylistic flourishes here, but his great success is in showcasing the stellar cast and the utterly mind-blowing work of the costume and art departments. Their vision of the fashion world of swinging ’70s London — a little gritty, a little effete, punk rock spray-painting the high street — is an example of how right a Disney movie can get it. Cruella’s dresses alone (not to mention the sequences in which they are unveiled) are almost a feature

unto themselves. PG13. 134M. BROADWAY, DISNEY PLUS, MILL CREEK, MINOR. A QUIET PLACE PART II. The less said about this one the better but only because the surprise of it is so integral to its success. John Krasinski returns as director, this time working from his own screenplay, and expands the world of the Abbott family in inventive, unexpected, but entirely appropriate ways. After a bang-up opening set-piece, the story picks up immediately after the events of A Quiet Place (2018), with Evelyn (Emily Blunt) leading Regan (Millicent Simmonds), Marcus (Noah Jupe) and her babe-in-arms away from the broken haven of their farm and into the unknown. This is the rare sequel that meets and maybe exceeds the originality of the first installment, with a brilliantly conceived, deceptively simple structure that creates ever-mounting tension and previously unconsidered threats. The weekend’s context aside, this is a very, very good time at the movies. PG13. 97M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINOR. John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

How They Got Here: Round the Horn

ama,” May 20). This time, we’ll look at the history of the other main sea route from the east (the U.S. East Coast and Europe): the stormy passage around Cape Horn, the tip of South America. Before 1520, world maps and globes created since Columbus’ 1492 Atlantic crossing showed South America as contiguous with a presumed southern continent, that is, there was no way of sailing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Although Antarctica wasn’t sighted until 1820, it was long presumed there must be a continent in the vicinity of the South Pole to balance out, as it were, the land masses north of the equator. After being rejected by his own king, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) persuaded the 18-year-old King of Spain Charles V to fund an expedition to reach the “Spice Islands” from the west. Spices, particularly cloves and nutmegs, were literally worth their weight in gold back then, both for adding to food and for supposed medicinal properties. They were found in abundance on the Moluccas, half a dozen islands in present-day Indonesia. Since Portugal controlled the passage around the Cape of Good Hope, Magellan was looking for a backdoor Spanish route from the Atlantic, bucking the belief that no such route existed. The story of how he found what is now known as the Magellan Strait is the stuff of legend. After putting down a mutiny, followed by punishment of the mutineers, the loss of one of his five ships in a storm and losing his main supply ship when its crew took it over and returned to Spain, Magellan then faced an unknown passage to the Pacific. Finding the entrance to the strait after several false starts, Magellan spent 38 grueling days traversing the 350-mile-long route, battling rocks, storms and fierce “williwaw” winds that daily threatened his remaining three vessels. Eventually, just one of Magellan’s original five ships, the 85-ton Victoria, completed the around-the-world voyage, carrying just 18 of the original crew of 270

Despite its uncertain provenance (it’s dated “between 1885 and 1954”), this grainy photo by an unknown photographer says more about sailing round the Horn than any words. National Library of Australia, public domain

who had set out three years earlier. While some had deserted, some were imprisoned and some — including Magellan himself — died battling Pacific Islanders (not to mention execution or abandonment as punishment for mutiny), most fell victim to scurvy and starvation. For decades after the return of Victoria, mapmakers believed that the Magellan Strait was the only sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This is borne out, for instance, by the first comprehensive map of the Pacific Ocean, Maris Pacifica, from 1589. It wasn’t until the early 1600s that European navigators finally discovered Drake Passage, a 500-mile-wide open seaway between Cape Horn — the tip of South America — and Antarctica. (Francis Drake, the English hero-pirate, probably didn’t reach Cape Horn or the passage named after him during his 1577-1580 circumnavigation.) Drake Passage gave sailors plenty of maneuvering room, as opposed to the more sheltered but unpredictable Magellan Strait. How unpredictable? Very. Today, freight vessels have to take on pilots to pass through the strait, which is just 1.2 miles wide at its narrowest. By the time of the California gold rush, clipper ships carrying as many as 500 passengers were regularly “rounding the Horn” from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back. Although this route was 8,000 miles longer than via Panama, it was favored by tens of thousands of forty-niners, despite its fearsome reputation. In the 50 years between 1850 and 1900, more than 100 ships were lost attempting the passage between the oceans, with the loss of some 10,000 lives. ● Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo) has a particularly soft spot for Nova Scotian Joshua Slocum, the first person to sail single-handed through the Magellan Strait, on his 1895-1898 voyage around the world.

That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien. That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2021, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2021. That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707)476-2450. I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 15th, 2021. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 20th, May 27th and June 3rd, 2021

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell. 1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years. Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule. 2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. 3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450. The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2021, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

OBITUARIES At the age of 89 on a beautiful spring day Pauline took her last walk and encountered the Lord on the way. He said, “come and walk beside me for I’ve come to take you home”. Pauline asked the Lord, “what took you so long? I lost my husband six years ago Pauline Jimenez and I’ve been so lonely 03/29/32–04/20/21 without him, then I lost my daughter and my heart hasn’t stopped aching”. The Lord said, “your journey wasn’t over yet. I wanted you to meet at the people of Blue Lake. The many who greeted you with a warm smile on your walks, the ones that gave you food, or a ride. I almost took you the night you crashed, but there was still the kindness around your town to meet. You often said you didn’t have any friends so I wanted to remind you that you did have friends because I sent them. The Lord said, “Pauline you are mine now and I will keep you safe. There will be no more tears, no more loneliness, no more fear of darkness, and no more dementia. Take my hand and let us walk into the light.” Pauline was born March 29, 1932 in Madrid New Mexico. At 15 the family moved to California where she met and married Paul. They enjoyed 66 years of marriage. They moved many times in the Central Valley and settled for a bit in Cloverdale. In 1964, Paul moved the family to Blue Lake to work at Simpson Timber Co. Pauline wasn’t the kind to spot around, so she took a job as a Nurse’s aid at Mad River Hospital for 8 years. She then went on to become a Medical Office Assistant Humboldt County Health Department where she proudly served for 16 years before retiring. Pauline enjoyed helping others and had a passion for her work. She also loved family reunions and traveling with her husband Paul. Pauline is preceded in death by her parents Louis and Maria, brothers Andy, Louis Jr, and Jimmy, sisters Virginia, Connie, and Mickey. Her husband Paul, daughters Sandra and Rose, sons Jimmy and Richard, and grandson Michael. Pauline is survived by her son Pablo and Vicki, Robert and Heather, Mario and Kathy and also by 15 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. A tribute by Richard Jimenez : MOM My Mother, My Friend I wish that we could somehow slow the seasons as they come and go. I laugh and then sadly sigh when thinking of those times gone by. A loving mother through those years. You cared for me and calmed my fears. I treasure when you held my hand or taught me how to take a stand. You never had great wealth or fame but better still was your good name. Examples that you firmly set are lessons that I won’t forget. My mother, my friend so dear throughout my life, you’re always near. A tender smile to guide my way. You’re the sunlight to light my day. Such love as this will never end for you’re my mother and my friend. The family extends their deepest gratitude to all the kind souls who helped Mom along her journey. Mom we miss you dearly, Rest In Peace. As for Pauline’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. Sacraments were given on her final day on earth.

Week of June 3, 2021 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Testify about how you redeemed the dark side. Newsletter@freewillastrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “There is ecstasy in paying attention,” writes Aries author Anne Lamott. That’s always true for everyone, but it’s extra true for you Aries people. And it will be extra ultra especially true for you during the next 20 days. I hope you will dedicate yourself to celebrating and upgrading your perceptual abilities. I hope you will resolve to see and register everything just as it is in the present moment, fresh and unprecedented, not as it was in the past or will be in the future. For best results, banish all preconceptions that might interfere with your ability to notice what’s raw and real. If you practice these high arts with exhilarating diligence, you will be rewarded with influxes of ecstasy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your guiding wisdom comes from Taurus author Annie Dillard. She writes, “I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you.” I suspect that Dillard’s approach will enable you to maintain a righteous rhythm and make all the right moves during the coming weeks. If you agree with me, your crucial first step will be to identify the nature of your “one necessity.” Not two necessities. Just the single most important. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “All I want to be is normally insane,” said actor Marlon Brando. Yikes! I have a different perspective. I would never want to be normally insane because that state often tends to be sullen and desperate and miserable. My preferred goal is to be quite abnormally insane: exuberantly, robustly, creatively free of the toxic adjustments that our society tells us are necessary. I want to be cheerfully insane in the sense of not being tyrannized by conventional wisdom. I want to be proactively insane in the sense of obeying my souls’ impulses rather than conforming to people’s expectations. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I believe the coming weeks will be a fruitful time for you to be my kind of insane. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “It’s one thing to make a mistake, it’s another to become wedded to it,” advised author Irena Karafilly. Let’s make that one of your key truths in the coming weeks. Now is a good time to offer yourself forgiveness and to move on from any wrong turns you’ve made. Here’s a second key truth, courtesy of composer Igor Stravinsky: “I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.” Third key truth, from Sufi teacher Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan: “Don’t be concerned about being disloyal to your pain by being joyous.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the number of perfect moments you will experience during the next two weeks could break all your previous records. And what do I mean by “perfect moments”? 1. Times when life brings you interesting events or feelings or thoughts that are novel and unique. 2. Pivotal points when you sense yourself undergoing a fundamental shift in attitude or a new way of understanding the world. 3. Leaping out of your own mind and into the mind of an animal or other person so as to have a pure vision of what their experience is like. 4. An absolute appreciation for yourself just the way you are right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “There is strong shadow where there is much light,” wrote Virgo author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832). That’s a good metaphor for you these days. Since I suspect you are currently shining as brightly as you possibly can, I will urge you to become acutely aware of the shadows you cast. In other words, try to catch glimpses of the unripe and unformed parts of your nature, which may be more easily seen than usual. Now, while you’re relatively strong and vibrant, investigate what aspects of your inner world might need improvement, care and healing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to physicists, it’s impossible for a human being to suck water up through a straw that’s more than 34 feet long. So please don’t even try to do that, either now or ever. If, however, you have a good reason to attempt to suck water up a 33-foot straw, now would be an excellent time to do so. Your physical strength should be at a peak, as is your capacity for succeeding at amazing, herculean tasks. How else might you direct your splendid abilities? What other ambitious feats could you pull off? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Ezra Pound had character flaws that bother me. But he also had a quality I admire: generosity in helping his friends and colleagues. Among the writers whose work he championed and promoted with gusto were 20th-century literary icons James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, Hilda Doolittle, William Butler Yeats, Ernest Hemingway, William Carlos Williams and Robert Frost. Pound edited their work, arranged to get them published in periodicals and anthologies, connected them with patrons and editors, and even gave them money and clothes. In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you to be like Ezra Pound in the coming weeks. Make an extra effort to support and boost your allies. Assist them in doing what they do well. To do so will be in your own best interest! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Poet Tess Gallagher praises those times “when desire has strengthened our bodies.” I want you to have an abundance of those moments during the coming weeks. And I expect that cultivating them will be an excellent healing strategy. So here’s my advice: Do whatever’s necessary to summon and celebrate the strong longings that will strengthen your body. Tease them into bountiful presence. Treasure them and pay reverence to them and wield them with gleeful passion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else,” observed poet Emily Dickinson. That’s the truth! Given how demanding it is to adjust to the nonstop challenges, distractions, and opportunities of the daily rhythm, I’m impressed that any of us ever get any work done. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns are now experiencing a big outbreak of this phenomenon. It’s probably even harder than usual to get work done, simply because life keeps bringing you interesting surprises that require your ingenuity and resourcefulness. The good news is that these surges of ingenuity and resourcefulness will serve you very well when the hubbub settles down a bit and you get back to doing more work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarius-born August Strindberg (1849–1912) was a masterful and influential playwright. He also liked to dabble in painting and photography. His approach in those two fields was different from the polish he cultivated in his writing. “I am an amateur and I intend to stay that way,” he testified about his approach in the visual arts. “I reject all forms of professional cleverness or virtuosity.” Just for now, Aquarius, I recommend you experiment with the latter attitude in your own field. Your skill and earnestness will benefit from doses of playful innocence, even calculated naiveté. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Which of the astrological signs feels the deepest feelings? I say it’s you Pisceans. You’re connoisseurs of deep feelings, as well as specialists in mysterious, multi-splendored, brushes-with-infinity feelings. And right now, you’re in the Deepest Feelings Phase of your personal cycle. I won’t be surprised if you feel a bit overwhelmed with the richness of it all. But that’s mostly a good thing that you should be grateful for — a privilege and a superpower! Now here’s advice from deep-feeling author Pearl Buck: “You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.” l
