EDITORIAL

Justice for Josiah By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n our collective years covering crime in Humboldt County, a hard truth we’ve come to realize is that justice is rare — even rarer in a courtroom. The criminal justice system is a misnomer, as the very best it can deliver is protecting the community from a perpetrator while giving them a very limited chance at reform. That’s it. True justice, by contrast, requires systemic, communitywide responses. It requires amends and demands progress. For the better part of three years now, people have gathered at vigils, protests and marches to rightly demand justice for David Josiah Lawson, the 19-year-old Humboldt State University sophomore brutally stabbed to death at an off-campus party on April 15, 2017. Last week, we gained bracing insight into why that justice has proven so elusive — at least from a criminal justice standpoint — with the release of the National Police Foundation’s report detailing the litany of mistakes made in the first 72 hours of the Arcata Police Department’s homicide investigation. The plain truth is that those early errors will make it difficult — if not impossible — to get a conviction in this case, absent a confession or an eyewitness to the stabbing stepping forward years after the fact. APD Chief Brian Ahearn, who took his post in December of 2018, has pledged his department will keep working the case until it winds up back in court. We have no reason to doubt his sincerity or ability, and we wish him success in that effort. But to us the more promising aspect of Ahearn’s comments is that he did not dispute his department’s mistakes, didn’t parse the report’s findings. Instead, he

owned them, pledging to follow each of the report’s 36 recommendations so the next time there’s a critical incident, APD is better prepared. And while the report found no evidence that APD officers or other first responders acted with racial bias, he did not dispute that some in the community felt and continue to feel bias played a role in the events that left a 19-year-old black man dead that morning and allowed a white suspect to continue living as a free man. APD’s job moving forward, Ahearn said, is to be respectful of people’s “lived experiences” while working very hard to show them bias has no place in the department. As painful as it is, there are real indications Josiah’s death is helping to create a more just Arcata Police Department. In a similar vein, we commend Arcata City Manager Karen Diemer’s decision to release this report in its entirety as a step toward justice. Leading a city government that has at times been lambasted for obfuscation in its response to Lawson’s death, Diemer could easily have redacted large portions of this report, claiming they might hamper APD’s investigation. She did not, instead releasing the report in its entirety. Believing sunlight is the greatest disinfectant, we applaud this move as a step toward justice. We believe justice for Josiah is attainable, if not in a courtroom then in our community, on his behalf and in his name. It will take bridging the campus-community divide and making sure HSU students know they are valued and respected here, that no matter where they’re from or what they look like, they are members of our community with all the same rights

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

and responsibilities as those who have been here for generations. As the report indicates, APD has work to do in this regard but so, too, do all of us. In the wake of Lawson’s death, we’ve been pleased to see campus-community potlucks and events, like the We Are Your Community day at the Farmers Market. These are positive steps. We need more of them. The campus also needs to do more to make sure the students recruited to make Humboldt their homes are prepared for — and supported through — that transition. Under the leadership of new HSU President Tom Jackson Jr., there are positive indications that work is being done and that’s a step toward justice for Josiah. That work can’t succeed without accountability. We were mystified to see in the foundation’s report that HSU administrators — including the interim dean of students — “declined to return our calls requesting an interview.” An HSU spokesperson expressed surprise at this and said the university is trying to track down who the foundation contacted and when, and why calls went unreturned. We can only hope this was an honest miscommunication and not an attempt to dodge the foundation’s gaze. Another lesson we hope is made plain by the foundation’s report is the damage irresponsible media coverage can do. In this case, multiple media outlets widely reported on the comments of one of Lawson’s friends who, clearly traumatized after trying in vain to save his friend’s life, made some allegations about the inadequacy of the medical response to Lawson’s stabbing. A handful of outlets reported these allegations without any effort to substantiate them or even interview those accused of bias and incompetence — allegations clearly debunked in the report. But the damage has long since been done and the foundation’s report indicates the projection of this narrative may have

dissuaded witnesses from cooperating with the investigation and “enlivened the emotions and perspectives of racial bias in the community in a way that continues to challenge healing.” Finding justice for Josiah will require some introspection from all local media outlets and a resolve that when the next critical, racially charged incident happens in Humboldt we will report it with the thoroughness and care that responsible journalism demands. Justice also requires commitment to truth, whether it be a department’s leadership owning its mistakes or a witness being willing to publicly admit to some things they’d rather not in order to bring a killer to account. At times over these last three years, through a court hearing to determine if the man suspected of stabbing Lawson could be held to stand trial and its aftermath, true honesty seems to have been a commodity in scant supply. We know what justice looks like. It’s government systems that work for everyone. It’s media that’s accurate and thorough. It’s neighbors who believe the best in each other, pick each other up and recognize that an injustice brought upon any of us is an injustice brought upon all of us. It’s a community that refuses to accept bias, bigotry and apathy. In this sense, we can find justice for Josiah. But true justice won’t be brought by a new investigative lead, a fresh witness or a court’s ruling. It’s not something that’s going to burst through a hole in the sky. Instead, it will come slowly, gradually, as we all work to make this a more just and equitable place to live. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

Protect Wildlife Habitat

preserved areas intact. People say displaced wildlife can just move but what suitable habitat is left is already occupied at or above capacity, with wildlife being squeezed into shrinking spaces and facing increasing competition for dwindling resources. People also say homeless encampments degrade habitat. That’s true but not to the extent that removing it altogether does. Humans need homes but so does everything else. We need to remember that homelessness is not just a human problem. Ken Burton, Arcata

Editor: Everyone recognizes “homelessness” as one of Humboldt’s most pressing issues. So why the quotes? Because there’s an entire homelessness issue that’s being swept under the duff, as it were, and exacerbated by short-term actions to deal with the other one. I’m talking about wildlife homelessness. There’s virtually nowhere left on earth unaffected by our species, one of millions. Many of the others are having a hard time adapting to that.

to 13 percent. Kischuk said if the board decides to increase rates by that much, the increase would be supported “almost entirely by employees,” meaning even more anti-selection losses or member districts withdrawing from the JPA to find other medical insurance programs. An 11 to 13 percent increase has a bigger effect on employees who are paid a lower salary. According to Vickers, the NCSMIG bylaws require any member district considering withdrawing from the JPA to send a letter of intent by Jan. 1. If a district does find an alternative JPA, it must send in a confirmation letter by March 1. Gill said that College of the Redwoods and Eureka City Schools have already left the JPA and five JPA member school districts, including Arcata School District, McKinleyville Union School District, Northern Humboldt Union High School District, Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District and Pacific Union School District, submitted their letters in January. (Taylin Titus, director of JPA services, clarified at the Feb. 19 meeting that none of these districts has submitted withdrawals.) When the Journal contacted ECS Superintendent Fred Van Vleck’s office about why the district left the JPA, Van Vleck’s assistant Micalyn Harris replied in an email, “We have no comments at this time.” Northern Humboldt Union High School District Superintendent Roger Macdonald said that his district sent its letter to view all of the options, adding that it has put together a committee to try to find healthcare insurance alternatives. “I am looking at it logically, not as an emotional response,” Macdonald said. “We owe it to our employees to look at all of our options and find the best healthcare insurance that gives the best coverage at reasonable prices.” Macdonald also said he doubts the district’s committee will find a better coverage plan by the March 1 deadline and added that the JPA is working to find good health insurance for its subscribers. Gill said that these changes will potentially impact hospitals as well. A hospital’s viability is based on what percentage of patients have comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage helps hospitals stay solvent, they don’t make the same type of revenues with people who come in with limited insurance coverage. When a patient has comprehensive coverage, the hospital doesn’t have to wait for payments as long as it would with a patient with limited coverage. Kischuk also emphasized the importance of the local health market. “The local healthcare market in Humboldt County is unique. The best situation

for employers and employees is to have a plan that’s designed and operated based on the healthcare market, and maintaining the program would be the best thing for everyone,” he said. The NCSMIG board scheduled the rate setting decision for its March board meeting but, with only four weeks to go, during the last NCSMIG board meeting it was clear members were still undecided. Jeff Brock, NCSMIG board member and chief business officer for McKinleyville

Union School District, pointed out that the board has many options and recommendations but still hasn’t seen any proposals of concrete examples to make “the best possible decision for the JPA.” The board then decided it wanted to look at different examples of tiered rates to make a decision in March. If it cannot reach a decision the board will reschedule setting next year’s rate for another meeting in April. Adrian Dobson of the California School

Employees Association addressed the board. “Really think about what you’re doing,” he said, “this problem was made in this room and people at the bottom pay the most.” l Iridian Casarez is a staff writer at the Journal.

Coronavirus Case Confirmed in Humboldt

wo Humboldt County residents who returned from a trip to mainland China in late January are being quarantined at home after one tested positive last week for COVID-19, more commonly referred to as novel coronavirus, and the other results came back “indeterminate,” although the second person will not be retested. “Regardless, we are managing the second individual exactly the same as the confirmed case as we have from the start,” Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said in a release. Citing privacy concerns, officials are providing few details about them, including where in the region they live. The two patients did not travel through the Arcata-Eureka airport, according to the county Department of Health and Human Services. “I think, in a rural area like this, it doesn’t take too many things to make someone identifiable. … So, obviously, we’re very careful about other identifiers because privacy should be protected unless it endangers public health and that is not the case in this instance,” Frankovich told the Journal last week. County health officials are in daily contact with the patients and monitoring their condition, Frankovich said. In a Feb. 25 update, the Centers for Disease Control reported the U.S. has at least 53 confirmed cases, with most travel related or the result of person-to-person transmission by close contact — such as between people living together. While the

coronavirus meets two of the three criteria for a pandemic, it is not “currently spreading in the community in the United States,” according to the CDC. “More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States. It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States,” the CDC update states. “Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time. Schools, childcare centers, workplaces and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism. Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.” In Humboldt’s case, the two individuals went to St. Joseph Hospital’s emergency room on Feb. 16 exhibiting symptoms of the respiratory disease. “After a thorough investigation, at this time, we have no evidence that any patients were exposed during the visit,” a St. Joseph Health release states. “There was no close or prolonged contact with anyone in the Emergency Department. We followed established protocols from the moment the patients arrived.” That included directing them immediately to an isolation room with negative pressure to prevent the virus from spreading, according to the release. Both were treated and released the same day. Frankovich noted that this is not the first

virus to make the global rounds and won’t be the last, “so we have the infrastructure in place to respond.” “Coronavirus is evolving and the information is changing all the time,” she said. “Our job is to keep abreast of that and to keep the community informed.” The release from St. Joseph Health states that “St. Joseph Hospital and Red-

wood Memorial Hospital are equipped to handle this virus.” “Our caregivers have received training, have practiced for these scenarios and are well-prepared,” the release states. “The Caregiver Health department has contacted the small number of staff who may have come in contact with the patient.” — Kimberly Wear POSTED 02.20.20 READ THE FULL STORY ONLINE.

WEEK IN WEED

Payouts in the Park By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

s the Journal went to press Feb. 25, the city of Rohnert Park was set to approve nearly $1.5 million in payments to settle multiple lawsuits alleging its police force conspired to steal cannabis and cash during illegal traffic stops. The settlements include $287,500 to be paid to Huedell Freeman, a cannabis farmer based in Mendocino County who alleged that officers illegally confiscated 47 pounds during a traffic stop, and seven other drivers who filed suit with similar allegations and are set to split $1.2 million. Last year, the city agreed to settle with Zeke Flatten, of Texas, for $415,000. The city has not admitted liability in any of the cases. If this all sounds familiar, it should. These allegations were the subject of our June 14, 2018, cover story “Highway Robbery,” produced in collaboration with KQED and local reporter Kym Kemp. Flatten alleged he was driving a rental car south from Humboldt County with 3 pounds of legal cannabis he was taking to a Santa Rosa testing laboratory in 2017 when he was pulled over by an unmarked black Ford Police Interceptor just north of the Mendocino County line, about 50 miles north of Rohnert Park. Flatten said he offered to show the officers, who weren’t wearing badges or identifying name tags, his doctor’s prescription for medical cannabis but they declined. Instead, he said, the officers told him they were working for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and seized his cannabis, offered no receipt and told him he might be getting a letter from Washington, D.C. “In less than five minutes, the officers had left the scene with Mr. Flatten’s cannabis without having ever run his name for wants and warrants, and without so much as issuing a citation for even a traffic infraction,” Flatten’s lawsuit stated. The lawsuits specifically named two now former Rohnert Park officers alleged to be at the center of the department’s criminal conspiracy — Joseph Huffaker, who was allegedly one of the two officers who pulled Flatten over, and Jacy Tatum, an aggressive drug enforcement officer who developed a reputation for both large seizures and questionable tactics. While Tatum wasn’t involved directly in the stop of Flatten, the lawsuit alleges

he incriminated himself when he penned a fabricated press release in response to Kemp’s inquiries. “When plaintiff came forward publicly, Tatum quickly sought to quash plaintiff’s accusations by issuing a press release to whitewash the conspiracy,” Flatten’s lawsuit alleged. “But Tatum’s statement to the press was too hastily contrived, and his involvement in the illegal seizures too prolific. As a result, his press release defended the wrong illegal seizure, and instead of diffusing the scrutiny plaintiff’s allegations had brought, it brought the allegations more clearly into focus. Following the bogus press release, an internal investigation was launched at Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety. Shortly thereafter, defendant Tatum resigned from the force, defendant Huffaker was placed on administrative leave and the director of the department announced his retirement.” The suit filed jointly by seven people last year alleges that Tatum, Huffaker and another officer combined to take more than 330 pounds of cannabis and $55,000 in cash but never appropriately documented the seizures and never destroyed or returned the cannabis. Rohnert Park City Manager Don Schwartz told KQED the city’s police department has been completely restructured to “improve oversight and accountability,” while strengthening its seizure, evidence storage and reporting requirements. That’s all good, to be sure, but what about some criminal culpability for the officers? After all, if the allegations are correct, they engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud and extort, filing false tax returns to hide the illicit income from their robberies, which were carried out under the color of authority. It seems there should be some accountability for those who abused the badge to prey upon people who were working to bring an industry into the light of day according to the regulatory safeguards put in place by the state of California.

‘Organizational Failures’

Report details the missteps, errors and leadership void that crippled the Lawson homicide investigation in its first 72 hours

Independent Review of the Police Response to the Homicid e of David Josiah Lawson

By NCJ Staff

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

he commanding officer who oversaw the first steps in the Arcata Police Department’s probe into the April 15, 2017, stabbing death of David Josiah Lawson had no specialized training in crime scene management or homicide investigation. The officer tasked with photographing the crime scene used a point-and-shoot camera, had been working in law enforcement less than a year and had never investigated a killing before; the only evidence collection training he’d received was in the police academy. The detective who ultimately took control of the scene and the investigation had never been the primary investigator on any case before, much less a homicide, and was promoted to the position as he was called out to the scene. Compounding that lack of experience was the fact that none of the department’s top brass — not its chief of police, operations lieutenant or detective sergeant — made it to the crime scene that morning. In the absence of their leadership, officers made multiple, crucial, irrevocable errors, from failing to adequately secure the crime scene to letting key witnesses leave the scene, in at least one case after giving contradictory statements about the stabbing. A succession of decisions — from budget cuts and staffing levels to training priorities and even who should respond to the scene that morning — “resulted in a series of organizational failures, tactical missteps, and investigative and leadership errors, which have damaged the investigation and marred the department’s reputation and credibility in many areas of the community,” the report states. Those are some of the key findings in a highly anticipated report from the National Police Foundation analyzing APD’s initial response to Lawson’s killing. The foundation — which city officials

first expected to complete the report in late 2018 — is a nonprofit, non-partisan police research organization that works to “progress democratic policing strategies” and “helping policing enhance community trust and confidence.” Because the foundation is staffed primarily by former officers, some locally expressed concern the report wouldn’t look at APD’s conduct critically. But the report — while lauding first-responders’ efforts to save Lawson’s life that morning — is at points scathing when detailing APD’s missteps in the first 72 hours of the Lawson investigation. “During this review, the NPF assessment team found that APD officers respond-

However, Arcata had not provided the appropriate level of organizational leadership, planning and training to respond to, and investigate, this type of complicated and chaotic homicide scene. Many of the basic tenets of crime scene security and management were not followed.” The report’s release offers the public

February 2020

its most complete glimpse yet into APD’s response to the scene of Lawson’s death. Relying on dozens of interviews, hours of audio and video recordings from responding officers, dispatch records and call logs, a team of National Police Foundation investigators reconstructed APD’s initial response that morning and have issued three dozen recommendations on how the department can be better prepared in the future. The report comes as the third anniversary of the 19-year-old Humboldt State University sophomore’s death approaches, with his killing remaining Arcata’s only open homicide case. It details what officers faced when they responded to a report of a stabbing at about 3 a.m. April 15, 2017, at an off-campus party on a culde-sac off Spear Avenue to find Lawson bleeding from multiple stab wounds and a chaotic scene with more than 100 people. Police arrested a McKinleyville man, Kyle Zoellner, at the scene and he was charged with Lawson’s murder, but the case was thrown out of court 16 days later, when a Humboldt County Superior Court judge ruled there was insufficient evidence to hold him to stand trial. The case then went back to the Arcata Police Department for further investigation. The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office convened a criminal grand jury in February of 2019 to consider evidence in the case — including new DNA evidence from a knife recovered at the scene — but it declined to hand up any indictments in the case, once again returning it to APD. APD Chief Brian Ahearn, who took over

the department in late 2018 just as former interim Chief Richard Eahle submitted the Lawson case to prosecutors for a second time, told the Journal flatly that APD owns its mistakes and will work diligently to implement each of the foundation’s 36 recommendations. In the meantime, the department will continue working to track down witnesses and solve Lawson’s killing. “We’re never going to stop investigating this case until we get back in court,” he says.

In the days immediately following Lawson’s death, a public narrative formed — largely due to media reports that relied almost exclusively on statements from one of Lawson’s friends — that the emergency response that morning had been uncaring and unprofessional, hampered by biased police officers who did not perform first aid and appeared more concerned with controlling a group of distraught people of color than saving the dying Lawson. The foundation report indicates this is flatly false and commends first responders for doing all they could to save Lawson’s life. At 3:01 a.m. on April 15, 2017, the California Highway Patrol received its second 911 call from a residence in the 1100 block of Spear Avenue. The first had reported that it appeared a fight was about to occur. This caller said someone had just been stabbed twice — “once in the chest and once in his ribs” — according to the report. A little less than two minutes later, APD officers were dispatched to the scene. Officer Devon Nilsen was the first to

arrive, showing up just seconds after the call went out over the radio. He was immediately directed to Zoellner, whose face was bloodied and battered, and whom partygoers had identified as the suspect. Nilsen handcuffed him and put him in the back of his patrol car. “Recognizing the tense crowd that was forming, and as guided by officers’ training and standard protocol, the officer remained in the proximity of the patrol vehicle with the detained subject throughout the rest of the incident to ensure the safety of the suspect,” the report states. Officer Jacob McKenzie arrived just about a minute after Nilsen, according to the report, in time to see him leading a cuffed Zoellner to his patrol car. Officer Krystle Arminio, the watch commander, arrived less than a minute later and was directed to Lawson. By the time she reached his side, McKenzie was already there and the two began life-saving efforts, with McKenzie applying pressure to Lawson’s wounds and Arminio doing CPR. “Despite the charged scene, based on the audio recordings, it appears that the two APD officers were continuously engaged in the life-saving efforts for the victim during this initial response,” the report states. “The recording indicated that the officers were on the ground with the victim continuously until the firefighters and paramedics arrived. The audio recordings indicated the officers were focused on the victim even while they were surrounded by numerous agitated and emotional partygoers.” The first fire truck arrived at the residence at about 3:10 a.m. from the Mad River station, according to the report, and the fire captain assessed Lawson, determining he had to be moved from a “cramped and grassy area” to a place where they could better work on him. According to past Journal reporting, the firefighters briskly pulled Lawson from the bushes, which appeared rough, and further riled the distraught crowd. “The firefighters reported that they were pushed and shoved by persons in the crowd as they tried to move the victim to a more advantageous place to continue their rescue and medical aid to the victim,” the report states. “An agitated man shouted to them, ‘You’re doing it wrong!’ His comments enlivened others who had crowded around the area. The AFD captain who was attending to the victim later reported that the anger and tension in the crowd made her feel threatened for herself and her crew.” Arminio stepped in to try to keep the crowd at bay, according to the report. An ambulance arrived on scene at 3:15 Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

a.m. and was cleared to immediately enter the driveway without staging. “The crowd became confrontational a second time when the victim was placed on a gurney and into the ambulance,” the report states. “A firefighter and emergency medical technician were in the back of the ambulance with the victim. One of the victim’s friends attempted to enter the ambulance to travel to the hospital with them. He was not allowed in the ambulance but held onto the door so it could not be closed. By the end of the encounter, which lasted approximately a minute, fire personnel pushed the subject away from the door, allowing it to be closed and allowing the ambulance to depart. The ambulance was en route to the Mad River Community Hospital with the victim approximately 17 minutes after the APD officers were dispatched to the call.” Lawson, who arrived at the hospital with his heart still beating, was pronounced dead at 4:07 a.m. “Allegations have been made questioning first responding officers’ compassion for the victim and their willingness to provide aid,” the report states. “Their actions have been described in the media and by some in the community as ‘lackluster and uncaring.’ … Despite these narratives … audio and video evidence, as well as interviews with witnesses, indicate that the initial actions by first responders demonstrated an appropriate focus on life-saving measures and public safety. The NPF assessment team found that the initial arriving officers made remarkable efforts to fulfill law enforcement’s primary mission — to provide immediate life-saving efforts and first aid to the victim and arrest the suspect identified by witnesses at the scene — in the interest of public safety.” The report faults former Arcata Police Chief Tom Chapman for not releasing more information and acting more assertively to counter the false narrative, saying a number of city leaders had asked Chapman to do so. “He declined, thinking, ‘It will go away,’” the report states, adding that Chapman had also contributed to some of the misinformation circulating in the community by erroneously telling Lawson’s mother, Charmaine Lawson, that the ambulance had to stage near the scene because of an unruly crowd, delaying medical aid to her son. “Thus, misinformation without immediate correction from the APD enabled those on social media and other platforms to influence the public narrative around the response, portraying the first responders to the incident as uncaring and unprofessional. These allegations and questions

… have continued since the incident.” The report recommends APD be more aggressive about releasing information and countering false public narratives in the future. Additionally, the report notes that a consolidated public safety dispatch center — one that routes all calls for service through a single center used to dispatch multiple agencies — could increase efficiencies in emergency response, though it could come with considerable costs. The fact that calls in the Lawson case were initially routed through CHP before landing with APD, Arcata Fire and Mad River Ambulance ultimately added minutes to the response times.

If APD officers’ efforts to save

Lawson’s life were “remarkable,” things quickly fell apart when they transitioned into an investigative capacity, according to the report. As the senior officer, Arminio was in charge of the scene but had never received specialized training in crime scene management, and didn’t initiate a critical incident command protocol that would have given everyone at the scene specific tasks. The report also notes that while experienced officers from other agencies were at the scene that night — including two CHP officers, two Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office deputies and a sergeant,

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

and an officer from the University Police Department — there were no established protocols in place that allowed them to step in without direction to secure the crime scene or contact witnesses. And Arminio apparently wasn’t aware that existing inter-agency agreements would have allowed her to direct them to do so. One of the first things officers did after the ambulance departed for the hospital with Lawson was attempt to secure the crime scene but, again due to a lack of experience, Arminio directed officers to tape off only a small area of the cul-de-sac. “(Arminio) assumed that the crime scene was limited to the width of the driveway area and that the stabbing had occurred where she observed a pool of blood,” the report states. “However, the stabbing had not occurred in the driveway, but on the adjacent lawn area. … Numerous people had unfettered access to the crime scene after the ambulance and the victim’s friends left the scene.” Officers also failed to secure Zoellner’s car as part of the crime scene, later allowing an acquaintance to take it home before it had been searched or processed for evidence. Shortly after Lawson was transported to the hospital, Arminio found a knife under a car parked in the cul-de-sac and, suspecting it may be the murder weap-

on, decided it should be photographed and collected as evidence. The officers huddled together, according to the report, and “debated how they were going to photograph the knife since they did not have ‘city issued phones.’” It was decided McKenzie would use a department-issued point-and-shoot camera to document the scene, including the knife. The report captures an exchange that to some extent illustrates the officers’ lack of experience investigating violent crime. While Arminio initially thought the knife she found had likely been used to stab Lawson, she later debated that, saying, “There’s no blood on it,” apparently not having “considered or discussed the possibility that the knife had been wiped off or moved by a third party.” Just a few years prior, the Arcata Police Department’s full-time evidence technician would have been dispatched to process the scene, taking photographs and collecting evidence. The position was eliminated, however, due to budget cuts. (It has since been restored by Ahearn as a part of an investigative team assembled to respond to all major incidents.) “Crime scene processing and evidence collection responsibilities were spread throughout the agency without commensurate training, supervision and management oversight,” the report states, which

DR. PAUL DOMANCHUK OPTOMETRIST

left McKenzie to rely on his academy training to process a homicide scene for evidence. But perhaps the most egregious missteps that morning came with regard to potential witnesses. The report notes that reviews of videos from the scene show “the officers on scene were concerned with clearing people from the chaotic scene rather than identifying witnesses. They did not delegate responsibility to gather and identify witnesses and triage from the most crucial, to other officers who were present. … Minimal attempts were made to detain or identify parties that may have been involved in the altercation or who may have witnessed the incident. Key witnesses and potential suspects were allowed to leave the scene or communicate with one another.” The most egregious example of this is the officers’ handling of Zoellner’s girlfriend, Lila Ortega, and the three friends she’d attended the party with. To some extent, all had been involved in or witnessed the multiple fights that had preceded Lawson’s stabbing, but the officers made no attempts to separate them to keep them from aligning their stories. “The first and second responding officers conducted informal interviews of the female associates at different times at the scene on Spear Avenue,” the report states. “It does not appear that the officers coordinated efforts or communicated any of the information received with one another. No attempt was made to preserve the integrity of their statements by separating the women or having them transported to the police department for interviews despite their indication that they had been involved in the altercation.” The report notes that one of the women — whom the Journal identified as Angelica McFarland by cross-referencing information from the report with testimony from Zoellner’s preliminary hearing — gave officers three conflicting accounts. “[McFarland] told an officer that she saw the stabbing and that she saw a black man attack the suspect, who attempted to wrestle the knife from him,” the report states. “According to her statement, the man then stabbed the victim and walked away. ... [another summary] included information obtained from the same witness by another officer within minutes of the first interview, which indicated that she had not seen the stabbing. The same witness was interviewed by a detective two additional times. Each time the witness provided a different statement about the incident and their involvement.” Official investigative reports summarized McFarland’s statements and failed to address the inconsistencies, with one say-

ing simply that she said the “arrested suspect never had a knife and never stabbed anyone,” according to the National Police Foundation report. In another instance, officers reported a crucial interview inaccurately in their reports, indicating a potential witness to the stabbing had positively identified Zoellner as Lawson’s assailant when he’d only provided a description that vaguely matched the suspect. The officers also didn’t address that the witness’ account was directly in conflict with that of another witness. “In addition to the incorrect summation, the review of the interview audio recording revealed that the detective did not ask substantive follow-up questions of what appeared to be a key witness,” the report states. “The appropriate follow-up questions would have included a detailed description of everything the witness saw and did not see.” While most of the mistakes at the scene can be attributed to a lack of training, experience and supervision, it’s harder to square the report’s evaluation of Zoellner’s official interview that morning. It was conducted by Detective Sgt. Todd Dockweiler, a seasoned homicide investigator, at the Arcata Police Department. But according to the report, Dockweiler hadn’t been to the crime scene or reviewed any digital photographs prior to the interview with Zoellner, and it’s unclear to what degree he’d been briefed on other witness statements to that point. “The arrested suspect was cooperative and answered the detective sergeant’s questions,” the report states of the interview, during which Zoellner said he’d been knocked unconscious early in the fight and had no recollection of what had happened, though he said he would never stab someone. “The interview could have yielded significant information but it lasted only approximately 15 minutes and was curt instead of exploratory. The arrested suspect did not refuse to answer additional questions.”

of leadership in this case, according to the report, which notes the void extended from training and preparation, through management of the crime scene that morning all the way to case review and quality control. According to the report, nobody took an active role in case review and oversight at the command level in the early weeks of the investigation, before the case was presented to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office or even after it came back to APD following the preliminary hearing. In an interview with the National Police Foundation team, Chapman indicated he’d initially believed the case to be “fairly straightforward,” according to the report. It’s unclear exactly why, but the report also notes that Chapman refused multiple agencies’ offers to assist with the investigation. Despite not having conducted any case review, he reportedly felt that with a suspect identified, his department had the case under control. “In retrospect, he understood both he and the operations lieutenant should have been more involved in the oversight of the investigation at the beginning, saying, ‘I should have been more in the weeds,’” according to the report. “Despite not conducting a case review, the chief felt that there was sufficient evidence to have the subject held to answer in the preliminary hearing. The chief only later realized, ‘In hindsight, we weren’t ready.’” But this lack of internal review continued all the way up to when the foundation began working on this report in 2018. “Until this independent review process began, the APD had not taken the opportunity to debrief this incident internally to glean learning points that could be incorporated throughout the department,” the report states. “An opportunity was missed to carefully examine the challenges presented in this investigation and learn from them.” It’s hard to calculate to what degree the many missteps have undercut the investigation into Lawson’s killing. The report notes that officers’ push to disperse witnesses from the scene that morning, coupled with the narrative of a biased response that circulated through local media in the days following the killing, have caused some witnesses to be reluctant to come forward. Ahearn told the Journal that so far the department has only been able to interview about 30 witnesses to date, when there were at least 100 people at the party and as many as 300 by some estimates. But just earlier this month, Ahearn said a new witness came forward and provided valuable information. And ultimately that seems to be the only route forward in

solving this case, as the state of the forensic evidence — which reportedly found a drop of blood on the knife with DNA from both Lawson and Zoellner — wasn’t enough to sway a grand jury into issuing an indictment. And Ahearn said APD is steadfast in its resolve to implement each of and every one of the report’s 36 recommendations. Some have already been incorporated, some are in process and others, he notes, will mean having some tough conversations with the community. “That’s our commitment to Charmaine, to our community and our department,” he said. The report also makes clear that this case drove a wedge into what was already a gap between the campus and the community, between people of color and their police department. There were already stories of bias and hard feelings, and this case — which, according to preliminary hearing testimony, saw a white woman yell, “I hope that nigger dies,” as a black man lay bleeding to death after allegedly being stabbed by a white suspect — amplified those. The misinformation that circulated after Lawson’s death, coupled with the litany of mistakes made by APD, now leave a steep hill to climb toward reconciliation and trust. Though the report found no actual evidence of bias in APD’s response that morning, it makes clear the department must recommit to community policing principles and working to forge a tighter bond with the community it serves. “The fact that people believe the response was somehow influenced by race we will never try to minimize,” Ahearn said. “Our job is to acknowledge that and work very hard to let people know that is not who we are as an organization. We take responsibility for the mistakes that were made. We own those mistakes and our commitment, if we haven’t already fixed it, is to fix it and collectively, as an APD family, to never let that happen again.” For her part, Charmaine Lawson says she hasn’t been able to bring herself to read the report. Not yet. It’s just too raw and too emotional to see her son’s name next to the word “murder.” “I can’t do it,” she said, adding that she’s thankful it’s out there and hopeful APD follows its recommendations. “I’m grateful (City Manager Karen) Diemer made the report public and sent it out to the community. APD definitely messed up and botched the investigation. … I just don’t want what happened to me and my son to happen to anyone else.” l Journal staffers Iridian Casarez, Thadeus Greenson and Kimberly Wear contributed to this report.

ON THE TABLE

10 Items or Fewer Asia’s Best edition By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

wing behind Sacred Heart Church at 2085 Myrtle Ave. and you’ll find Asia’s Best market tucked in its back lot. You’ll also likely find Feda Ignacio, who owns the store with her husband, Juancho, behind the counter and ready to guide you through the packed shelves of Asian food products and the cold room stocked with fresh produce and dried fish. The main draw is the Filipino food, including every sweet thing you could imagine scooping onto shaved ice for halo halo and even hard-to-find packs of pungent durian fruit and balut duck eggs. There’s much to explore for both the Pinoy home cook and those new to Filipino cuisine. Let’s stuff a basket with some must-haves. Instant noodles. Noodles do not get the respect they deserve as a breakfast food in America. Toss a fried egg onto a plate of Lucky Me Pancit Canton instant noodles (58 cents each), in original, spicy citrus chilimansi or canton hot chili, depending on how quickly you need to wake up. The bulalo, in imitation of traditional beef marrow stew, is the portable option ($1.28). Dried noodles. Until some genius opens a Filipino restaurant in our county, we’ll be cooking pancit fried noodles at home. There are fresh noodles in a case, too, but for two popular varieties of pancit, bihon and canton, the dried rice and wheat noodles are on the shelf (Excellent Rice Stick/Bihon $3.98, Excellent Canton $2.98). Not ready or in the mood to start from scratch? Their respective sauce packets are on the end cap (Tropics Pansit Bihon $1.18, Mamasita Chapsuey/ Pansit Canton $1.38). Soak or blanche half of each enormous pack of noodles, fry your meat and veggies and add seasoning as directed. Both turn out genuinely tasty and after you’ve done it once, you can whip them up more or less on autopilot. Sausage. Packs of linked sausages nearly fill one freezer case. The Magnolia Meats Hot Longanisa is peppery with

Lucky Me instant noodles for breakfast. Photo by Zach Lathouris a snappy casing and good over rice for breakfast or whenever ($4.98). Likewise the carnelian red Chorizo de Cebu, which is sweet and dotted with lovely gems of fat ($9.98). A brief simmer and browning and they’re table-ready. Put them out for guests with toothpicks like it’s 1960 and watch them disappear. Baked goods. Hit the shop on Thursday when the delivery comes and you’ll be in time for all manner of sweet yellow Spanish rolls. The stuffed pan de coco is for all coconut lovers ($5.18/five) but it’s a tough choice against the purple ube yamfilled buns ($5.18/dozen). Check the fridge and see if there are still steamed chicken siopao buns, similar to Chinese pork buns, too ($11.98/four). Drinks. The hot climate and national sweet tooth of the Philippines has yielded a strong lineup of beverages. Sarsi root beer has deeper flavor than standard American varieties and licorice notes ($2.08). The mango nectar is light and sweet, boasting 37 percent juice ($1.58), and citrusy calamansi juice may replace lemonade for me ($1.58). Sauces. The selection of condiments is dizzying. Start with a bottle of maraschino red banana sauce, glossier and sweeter than ketchup (Jufran 12 ounces, $1.48) and a bottle of Silver Swan soy sauce ($3.38), both of which are excellent for helping you take down a rotisserie chicken with your fingers while standing in the kitchen. (Listen, I am not alone and we will not be shamed.) Filipino soy sauce is so much smokier and saltier with a deep umami flavor, and it’s the one you need for making a respectable chicken adobo. Spiced vinegar. Shake up the sediment in a hip flask-sized bottle of Sukang Pinakurat Extra Hot coconut vinegar with chiles, garlic, onion and ginger before you dredge a pork rind through it ($3.18). Then revel in the slow heat and fermented zing you’ll want to try on pretty much every savory snack and maybe tossing chicken wings in it. Try the expensive but worth

Smokey soy and sweet banana sauce. Photo by Zach Lathouris

Ube, coconut and chicken buns arrive on Thursdays. Photo by Zach Lathouris

it Lapid Chicharon, which are juicily fatty and seasoned with black pepper, garlic and chiles ($7.48). Snacks. Deep breaths — it’s an overwhelming selection. Dried mango ($4.78) and sweet or salty Aling Conching candied tamarind that lights up every part of your brain with granular crunch, tang and bitterness ($1.78). The La La fish crackers are for those looking to level up from shrimp chips ($1.48) and the crispy Boy Bawang corn nuts don’t tax your jaw and come in garlicky adobo flavor ($1.08). One’s lunch box-envying inner child cries out for Fudge-filled Whatta Tops cupcakes ($3.48), while powdery, coconut-scented Pluto Seko wafers are chunkier than Neccos and invite you to play the game of trying to whistle with one in your mouth ($2.28). Lumpia. Even if you make your own all the time, freezer to fryer spring rolls are a blessing when a craving strikes and/or you’re unable to look away from whatever series you’re binge watching. The 1-pound

pack of Orientex pork lumpia fries up crisp with tender, spiced filling ($8.28). Ice cream. Buko salad, with its spears of sweet young coconut and candied tropical fruit, makes an excellent ice cream flavor. (If you dig ambrosia salad and haven’t tried buko salad, make it a priority. And if you dig buko, consider this my personal vouching for ambrosia.) The Magnolia brand half gallon ($11.08) is dessert for company, as is the company’s pint of lightly sweet avocado ice cream ($4.98). Bonus: T-shirts. There’s a small stack of shirts by the counter but the Pinoy culinary swag of the Adidas logo-inspired “Adobo” T-shirt is unmatched and I will wear it until the lettering fades to a chalky ghost image ($14.98). l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal and prefers she/her.

ust as time is a somewhat fluid concept in James Joyce’s Ulysses, so it is in Steven Dietz’s hauntingly moving 2015 play Bloomsday, now in production at Redwood Curtain Theatre. Bloomsday is celebrated in Dublin every year on June 16 — the day on which Leopold Bloom, the central character in Ulysses, wanders the streets of the city pondering on his life, his wife, her lover and much else — with tours that follow Bloom’s perambulations. It is one such tour that brought Cait (Susan Abbey) and Robert (Gary Sommers) together some 35 years ago. Theirs was a brief encounter that could have led to something much more, but a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications ensured that would never happen. Since that time Robert, an American academic, has been teaching the novel and has now returned to Dublin on a mission to meet up once more with Cait in a bid to recapture that lost dream. Robert clearly has a love-hate relationship with Ulysses; while he can quote large chunks of the text word for word, he also bitterly describes it as “under-read and over-praised” when he runs into young Caithleen (Marguerite Rose Hockaday), who is leading today’s Bloomsday tours. Caithleen, meanwhile, has caught the eye of an equally youthful tourist from Seattle, Robbie (William English III), who knows nothing about James Joyce or Ulysses, but is more than willing to learn from Caithleen. And so begins our journey through time and the streets of Dublin. The present and the past flow freely back and forth, as Robert encourages Robbie to pursue Caithleen while reliving his own courtship of Cait, and Caithleen reveals her own doubts and insecurities, which she fears will lead her to the same sad fate met by Cait. Each character overlaps and mirrors their alter ego, predicting what’s to come and regretting what’s gone by. (Be sure to take note of that bar of lemon soap when it appears.)

Is this a story of reincarnation, or is history repeating itself? Are these couples experiencing their past or foretelling their future? Is one imagining what might have been while the other dreams of new beginnings? Where does one character’s mind end and another’s begin? As Cait wistfully notes, “Everyone can know the future if they know where to look.” Brad Harrington’s restrained direction brings out the best in a uniformly excellent cast. Sommers’ Robert is appropriately world-weary when reflecting on his life with Ulysses but softens into a whole other persona as he reminisces about, and finally reunites with, Cait. Abbey carries an ineffable sadness with her as she foresees Caithleen’s future following the same arc as her own life, describing how she has special places in her imagination where she keeps the people she has loved. English engagingly captures Robbie’s wide-eyed innocence as the young American abroad who’s all set to carry his love off into the sunset and live happily ever after, but hesitates as he begins to consider what that might actually mean. And Hockaday is quite simply a delight as young Caithleen — switching between doubt and certainty, fear and desire, yet always carrying with her a sense of being somehow different, but in a way she can’t quite pin down. The spare set, designed by Robert Pickering, gives just enough of a sense of place without getting in the way of the characters, although the red wash on some areas does rather make it seem as if Dublin has experienced a bloody murder or two in the recent past; perhaps the death of dreams was on his mind. Sydnee Stanton’s lighting design guides the action nicely, subtly emphasizing the flow of emotions from light to dark and back to light again. Laura Rhinehart’s costume design enjoys a delightful flight of fancy when Robert and Cait put on their Joycean finery; particu-

larly impressive are Cait’s hat and Robert’s spats. Special credit must go to Bernadette Cheyne’s dialogue coaching — the Irish accents are thankfully almost flawless. M. Nash does an excellent job of stage management, to the extent of donning a maid’s costume and participating quite seamlessly in the action on the few occasions items need to be moved around, and George Inotowok rounds out the quietly efficient production team as the light and sound operator. Bloomsday is one of those rare productions that is just the right length at a little more than 90 minutes with one intermission. Everything is in balance — writing, cast, production, direction — and the whole satisfying experience left me with a quiet smile on my face for hours afterward. And a gentle hint of that lemon soap in the air. Redwood Curtain Theatre’s Bloomsday runs through Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights through March 16.

Stretch Out

Construction Demolition Debris

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

’ll keep this brief because I really stretched out in my ekphrastic music writing this week and I don’t want to test your patience. It’s a brand-new week, a new month dawns, my birthday is just around the corner (next Thursday for anyone thinking about buying me a rideable war bird, black market Gundam suit or moderately priced fruit basket), and I am feeling pretty fat and sassy. I’m giving up booze for Lent and everything is rosebuds and bird calls as far as I’m concerned. Time to stretch out into the future. Go get some fun.

Thursday

Particle Kid is back in town. Who’s that? Why Micah Nelson, of course, the picking, sliding and looping roots guitarist who has made a name for himself with his solo work in this project as well as his guitar playing with Neil Young and other luminaries from his father’s Rolodex. Who’s his father you ask? Willie Nelson. So Micah comes by his chops honestly but is certainly a proper artist in his own right. Come see what I mean at the Old Steeple tonight at 7:30 p.m. ($20). But don’t expect “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” This is every bit the younger Mr. Nelson’s show.

Friday It’s a good night for instrumental music so here are two options. The Horszowski Trio (pronounced Hor-shov-ski) is named after the late diminutive centenarian Polish piano genius Mieczyslaw Horszowski, whose long and brilliant career was an inspiration for players Jesse Mills, Raman Ramakrishnan and Rieko Aizawa. The trio returns to Humboldt to perform at the Calvary Lutheran Church for the Eureka Chamber Music Series at 7 p.m. ($30, $20 seniors, $10 students). Tonight’s performance will be a celebration of the work of Ludwig van Beethoven in anticipation of the composer’s 250th birthday in December. The program tonight will feature three trios, including the “Ghost” trio, which is a favorite of mine. An hour later at Fulkerson Hall you can catch the HSU Wind Ensemble and the Jazz Orchestra performing a mid-semester recital ($10, $5 children, free for HSU students). The latter group includes my pal Jesse Garate taking a sax solo on the Charles Mingus piece “GG Train.” Come and get it.

Particle Kid plays the Old Steeple on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m.

Saturday Assuming that you are at all like me — for your sake I certainly hope this isn’t the case — and you support the idea of the possibly sold-out Mr. Humboldt Pageant at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 8 p.m. but don’t particularly enjoy the spectacle and the press of the crowd, here are a couple of alternatives happening in Arcata at the same hour. Over at Blondies there’s a pretty good rock show happening as Santa Rosa’s Moon Sick brings some young punk vibes to a show tethered by local support from Dead Drift, Pills for Thrills and Wet Spot. All excellent bands ($5 suggested). Meanwhile at the Sanctuary, for a sliding scale door price of $10-$25, you can enjoy the Cowtown Serenaders, whose performance is a mix of balladry, puppets and props all in the service of a musical storytelling experience.

Sunday Maybe spend the evening reading a little bit about American history. For instance, on this day 110 years ago, the largest avalanche disaster in our nation’s history happened in Wellington, Washington, when a half milewide goliath of snow took out a train depot and two snowbound trains full of sleeping passengers causing a death toll of 96. Morbid stuff, I know, but absolutely fertile grounds for a period piece about the early industrial west and a timely reminder about the fantastic power of nature.

Monday There’s an indie pop masterclass afoot at the Miniplex tonight at 8:30 p.m. as Brooklyn’s all-female clean-tone, vocal harmonizing quartet Habibi holds court in the incense and peppermint palace. Also present for the evening’s diversions is Rudy De Anda from Long Beach, California, a musical ice cream man whose truck contains sweet flavors with swirls from the world of tropicalia and contemporary pop á la Destroyer and Mac DeMarco ($10).

Super Tuesday

Oh thank God, Thundercat is back in town. Hot on the scent of a brand-new album, Dragonball Durag, this drippy soulster bass genius is coming for your ass and the collective asses of everyone in the audience at the Van Duzer Theatre tonight at 8 p.m. ($49). Expect nothing short of hot and super wet, the best of the best, the juiciest bits, the slickest neo-funk compositions. Take out an insurance policy on your buns, they’re going to get the standard No. 2 pencil eraser treatment during the SATs at this one (SAT stands for Shaking Ass Tonight for the purpose of this message.) By the way, did you vote in the primary today? Go do that if you haven’t yet.

Wednesday

Million Brazilians is a bizarre jazz ensemble capable of building woodwind tunes out of the ghosts of various musical styles of the late 20th century like a night-sprite frigate curling through the seas of hip electronic shit. They are worth your time and tonight the ship rolls into the Miniplex at 8 p.m. On deck are the ever dependable and utterly perfect tube-howlers Blackplate, whose farrowing grunts will witness the birth of chunky piglets of splendid misery. Apologies to Captain Beefheart for the previous sentence ($7). l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters: send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. Collin Yeo lives in Arcata and prefers he/him pronouns. He wants a better world for you and all of your loved ones and for the first time in his life, he believes that this is an attainable goal for all of us, working together.

For the Love of Dogs

Making Waves

Bow wow wow, yippie yo yippie yay, HumDOG Dog Expo is on its way! Calling all dog lovers, HumDOG’s Dog Expo is Sunday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds (free admission and parking). This is Humboldt Dog Obedience Group’s 33rd Dog Expo. I shih tzu not. These folks have been helping Humboldt County dog lovers learn all about dog breeds, dog personality traits, health issues, obedience and other considerations that help foster responsible dog ownership for more than 40 years. At this year’s expo, say “henlo” to over 20 breeds of dogs and have a ball checking out the exhibits and demos of dog agility, obedience, tricks, scent work, sled dogs, dancing dogs, police K9s and more. HumDOG Dog Expo is a fantastic opportunity to talk to owners, trainers, vendors, breeders and rescue groups to see what type of doggie is best for your family. There will be a special drawing for children ages 5-12 and a raffle drawing at 3:15 p.m. to benefit the Terri Lockett Memorial Spay and Neuter Fund. And if you’re like me and have a new puppy that’s driving you bonkers, learn how to raise the woof right. Enroll your pooch in one of HumDOG’s puppy classes. ’Cause when a problem comes along (biting, chewing, peeing), you must whippet. Go to www.humdog. org for class information. Come out to Redwood Acres for the expo. See lots of cute canines there, but please leave your own pets at home. — Kali Cozyris

SCREENS

The Power to Disappoint

The Last Thing He Wanted and Call of the Wild By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews The inverse of the formidable power of movies to surprise, vex, confound, titillate and excite us lies in their capacity to disappoint. We know enough about the tricks, the history, genre and all the rest to have arrived at expectations. We have seen what can be done on the big screen and know what we want and deserve. I’ve seen a lot of pictures, to paraphrase Martin Scorsese, and have a pretty good sense of how they work, both in their basic construction and their effect on me. And this weekend afforded an opportunity to consider a number of types and levels of disappointment as prompted by two very different but almost equally frustrating movies. THE LAST THING HE WANTED, the latest from Dee Rees (Mudbound, 2017, also for Netflix), boasts a number of the attributes of a prestige picture: an accomplished, provocative director at the helm; a screenplay (adapted by Rees and Marco Villalobos) based on a novel by a sophisticated contemporary author (Joan Didion); a twisty, surprising plot; a historical setting with potential parallels to the current geo-political climate (the Americas of the early 1980s); a cast comprised of actors seemingly possessed of taste and gravitas (Anne Hathaway, Willem Defoe, Rosie Perez, Ben Affleck). So much potential. Opening in 1982 in El Salvador, the movie introduces us to Elena McMahon (Hathway), an investigative journalist embedded there with photographer Alma Guerrero (Perez). Amid the horror and chaos of the conflict, the two uncover evidence of deeper conspiracy. Two years later, though, Elena’s attempts at expanding the story have led her to nothing. Caving to outside influence, her editor demotes her to covering the presidential campaign, burying the bigger story she’s been following. This frustration comes on the heels of a divorce, which has complicated her relationship with her young daughter, a cross-country move, a bout of breast cancer and, freshest wound of all, the death of her mother. Elena’s had a rough year made rougher when her cantankerous, gamboling, pre-senile arms-dealer dad Dick (Dafoe) re-enters her orbit. He’s got a once-in-a-lifetime deal lined up, he assures her, and then he can retire. Dick falls ill, though, and is unable to travel to close it. And so, of course, motivated by curiosity, detective impulse and some unclear sense

of filial duty, Elena takes his place as bagman for a million-dollar munitions sale in Central America. Of course, things become (even) more complicated than they seem. Beyond its CV and pedigree, Last Thing has a lot to recommend it, at least in the early going. Rees and her creative team build an immersive, if imagined, version of the early ’80s, replete with great sets and costumes and props. We’re transported to a simpler time, when American political corruption was still mostly a covert, back-channel affair, instead of flagrantly televised. The movie makes smart moves and has a distinct aesthetic. Hathaway and Perez come out guns blazing, and Dafoe pops up as a welcome, scenery-gnashing addition. Maybe around the time the State Department gets involved (represented here by a plasticine, perhaps misused Affleck) though, everything goes off the rails. The jargon-heavy, tough as nails dialogue Hathaway is forced to rattle off rings false with repetition; characters are manifested out of the ether and tasked with heavy narrative lifting; the plot is over-burdened; the intrigue no longer intrigues. Spy stories aren’t for everyone, and one of the most exciting prospects of Last Thing was its bridge beyond the genre, exploring social issues and family dynamics with the machinery of political intrigue and tradecraft. But the story’s battling elements and themes prove too much, either for the moviemakers or itself, or both. R. 115M. NETFLIX. CALL OF THE WILD or “The Dog Movie,” as some have said, is dubious proposition at best. It’s an octogenarian Harrison Ford returning to a starring role opposite a computer-generated dog. It is also, on the other hand, adapted from the Jack London novel by writer Michael Green, whose credits include Logan, Blade Runner 2049 and Murder on the Orient Express (all 2017!); not exactly a lightweight. And who doesn’t like an adventure story? (Well, in this case, I don’t.) Rambunctious Buck, probably too much dog for the civilized Santa Clara County home of the judge who adopted him (Bradley Whitford, in a role beneath his formidable talents), is abducted and sold in Alaska, where he becomes part of the sled-team delivering the mail all over the state. Then hears the titular call and really comes into his own, but not before meeting and befriending grieving old coot John Thornton (Ford) with whom he shares a deep but, in the context of the movie, ludicrous and largely unexplored bond. Dogs are great actors. Fake dogs, even in

Proposed route of the 220-mile long dual track Humboldt Eastern Railroad, Humboldt Bay to Gerber. North Coast Journal

Railroad to the East By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

umboldt has surely seen its fair share of far-fetched schemes: huge bladders full of Mad River water to be towed to Southern California; buoys to harness wave power for electricity (“Wave Power,” Oct. 23, 2008); a stuffed animal museum; an aircraft carrier tourist venue. One of the more venerable boondoggles, dating back more than a century but still viable, according to some, is a rail connection to the Sacramento Valley. The earliest mention I’ve found comes from a story in the July-August 1985 edition of the Humboldt Historian magazine which claims, “The North Mountain Power Company [incorporated in 1902] was formed to supply power to the Humboldt Transit Company for its streetcar system in Eureka. Also … the organizers of the [NMPC] conceived the idea of building an electric railroad from Humboldt Valley to the Sacramento Valley to move their lumber to market.” By the time the power source, a 1.5-megawatt hydroelectric plant near Junction City on Canyon Creek, was completed in 1906, Humboldt’s rail link to the south was under construction. That’s what would eventually be named the Northwestern Pacific, running from Sausalito via the Russian River, down the main fork of the Eel and up to Eureka. Two railroads out of Humboldt were one too many and plans for the NMPC electric line were abandoned. Briefly, anyway. In 1909, Eureka engineer-surveyor Jesse Lentell hiked to Redding, up hill and down dale, surveying a route for an east-west rail line. It’s shown on the 1911 “Denny” maps — up to Lord Ellis Summit, following the ridge southeast to Hyampom (where it crosses the south fork of the Trinity), thence east to the upper Sacramento Valley. While the Northwestern Pacific line was built through prime redwood (lumber that would be freighted south), the proposed 175-mile Humboldt

and Eastern Railroad would carry pine logs from the newly established Trinity National Forest to Humboldt Bay and from there shipped to the world. It all came to naught. The government was only willing to sell off a third of the timber asked for by the railroad planners, and the estimated $11 million in construction costs (about $1 billion today) wasn’t forthcoming. Commenting on the collapse of the scheme, local historian Jerry Rohde wrote in the Journal (“Railroad!” May 24, 2012), “This [amount of money] wasn’t chicken feed, and the Humboldt and Eastern was not going anywhere until it devised a reliable form of funding.” And on to the latest proposal. The “Humboldt Eastern Railroad” would run from a new world-class shipping container terminal on the Samoa peninsula through Blue Lake and then (apparently) follow Lentell’s 1909 route, terminating at Gerber, south of Red Bluff on the Interstate 5 corridor. The plan is for a 220-mile twin-track line to carry eight trains a day, each of which would consist of 100 cars of double-stacked export shipping containers, powered by futuristic hydrogen fuel-cell locomotives. You can read about this dubious $10 billion scheme in Ryan Burns’ exposé from two years ago on the Lost Coast Outpost. At this point, the Humboldt Eastern Railroad appears shelved for lack of funding. Sorry, Humboldt. In the opinion of this retired civil engineer, an east-west rail line isn’t going to happen, given the cost, the steep and unstable terrain between here and the Sacramento Valley, and competition from existing West Coast ports. It wasn’t feasible 100 years ago and it ain’t going to happen today. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) — despite his misgivings above — believes trains are how God meant for us to travel. He prefers he/him pronouns.

OBITUARIES

Marie DiCiolla November 24, 1924 – February 14, 2020 Marie DiCiolla passed away at her home in Eureka on February 14, 2020, at the age of 95. Marie was born on November 24, 1924 in San Francisco to Francisco and Antonia Delgado where she lived until marrying Vic DiCiolla in 1946. The couple moved to Southern California where they lived for over 35 years and raised two children, Kathleen and Michael. Vic and Marie moved to Eureka from Southern California 30 years ago to be near their daughter, Kathleen DiCiolla. The move provided the opportunity to enjoy being involved on a daily basis with their grandson, Jacob. Vic was diagnosed with cancer from which he thought he would quickly die, but fortunately he lived another 20 years. Marie was preceded in death by her husband Vic, her parents, six siblings, her son Michael David, and her granddaughter Jennifer. Marie grieved for her departed family and missed them every day. She often wondered why she had outlived them. Over time, the pain in her heart softened. Gradually she opened her heart to new relationships and to share the love nestled there. Those who met Marie commented that she looked younger than her 95 years, seeing the lovely young woman inside with a wicked sense of humor, who loved to dance and laugh with friends, and who volunteered with the Red Cross, the Veteran’s hospital, and the Cancer Society. In her day, Marie loved cooking and collected hundreds of cookbooks. As many know, cooking food for those who touch our lives is a way of showing and sharing our love and Marie took great joy in gifting those who touched her heart with her homemade fudge, burritos, and beer bread. They were delicious because they were infused with her love. Over time Marie’s life was brightened by her dear friend Rose Amirkhan with whom she giggled and acted like a teenager, by the love and generosity of Joni Bladow, and by the friendship and compassion of Dr. Jack Irvine, a true gentleman and kind healer. Marie’s neighbors, Willa Mauro and Jana Kirk-Levine kept a watchful eye on her, offering their loving helping hands when needed. Marie never stopped missing her husband Vic. She related how she fell in love with him on their second date and first kiss. She loved his curly hair! In a note she wrote not to be sad when she passed because she would be with Vic again and would be happy. Marie was “seeing” Dad a lot over the past few months and last week she said that he stood in front of her with a big smile on his face. I hope that he was there with her, holding her hand as she passed. She is survived by her daughter Kathleen DiCiolla, her son-in-law Larry Goldberg, her dear grandson Jacob DiCiolla Goldberg, her beloved nephew Jim Martinez and his sweet wife Penny who traveled far and often to be with her, her nephew Bill Martinez, and her grandson Michael Daniel. Services will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2020, at 11:00 AM in the chapel at Sander’s Funeral Home located at 1835 E St., Eureka.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the LEGAL NOTICES personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encum− brances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining prin− cipal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the prop− erty to be sold and reasonable esti− mated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $377,984.95 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclu− sive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust hereto− fore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop− erty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758 − 8052 or visit this Internet Web site

ASTROLOGY

CARTOONS

Free Will Astrology Week of Feb. 27, 2020 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Try to identify which aspect of your life needs healing more than any other aspect. FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may sometimes reach a point where you worry that conditions are not exactly right to pursue your dreams or fulfill your holy quest. Does that describe your current situation? If so, I invite you to draw inspiration from Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616), who’s regarded as one of history’s foremost novelists. Here’s how one observer described Cervantes during the time he was working on his masterpiece, the novel titled Don Quixote: “shabby, obscure, disreputable, pursued by debts, with only a noisy tenement room to work in.” Cervantes dealt with imperfect conditions just fine. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks,” says Taurus filmmaker, actor, and author John Waters. I trust that you have been intensely cultivating that kind of success in the last few weeks, Taurus — and that you will climax this wondrous accomplishment with a flourish during the next few weeks. You’re on the verge of achieving a new level of mastery in the art of immersing yourself in environments that bring out the best in you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I would love for you to become more powerful, Gemini — not necessarily in the sense of influencing the lives of others, but rather in the sense of managing your own affairs with relaxed confidence and crisp competence. What comes to mind when I urge you to expand your self-command and embolden your ambition? Is there an adventure you could initiate that would bring out more of the swashbuckler in you? CANCER (June 21-July 22): For my Cancerian readers in the Southern Hemisphere, this oracle will be in righteous alignment with the natural flow of the seasons. That’s because February is the hottest, laziest, most spacious time of year in that part of the world — a logical moment to take a lavish break from the daily rhythm and escape on a vacation or pilgrimage designed to provide relaxation and renewal. Which is exactly what I’m advising for all of the Earth’s Cancerians, including those in the Northern Hemisphere. So for those of you above the equator, I urge you to consider thinking like those below the equator. If you can’t get away, make a blanket fort in your home and pretend. Or read a book that takes you on an imaginary journey. Or hang out at an exotic sanctuary in your hometown. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Walter Scott (1771–1832) was a pioneer in the genre of the historical novel. His stories were set in various eras of the Scottish past. In those pre-telephone and pre-Internet days, research was a demanding task. Scott traveled widely to gather tales from keepers of the oral tradition. In accordance with current astrological omens, Leo, I recommend that you draw inspiration from Scott’s old-fashioned approach. Seek out direct contact with the past. Put yourself in the physical presence of storytellers and elders. Get first-hand knowledge about historical events that will inspire your thoughts about the future of your life story. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Over a period of 40 years, the artist Rembrandt (1606–1663) gazed into a mirror as he created more than ninety self-portraits — about 10 percent of his total work. Why? Art scholars don’t have a definitive answer. Some think he did self-portraits because they sold well. Others say that because he worked so slowly, he himself was the only person he could get to model for long periods. Still others believe this was his way of cultivating self-knowledge, equivalent to an author writing an autobiography. In the coming weeks, I highly recommend that you engage in your personal equivalent of extended mirror-gazing. It’s a favorable time to understand yourself better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From author Don DeLillo’s many literary works, I’ve gathered five quotes to serve as your guideposts in the coming weeks. These observations are all in synchronistic

alignment with your current needs. 1. Sometimes a thing that’s hard is hard because you’re doing it wrong. 2. You have to break through the structure of your own stonework habit just to make yourself listen. 3. Something is always happening, even on the quietest days and deep into the night, if you stand a while and look. 4. The world is full of abandoned meanings. In the commonplace, I find unexpected themes and intensities. 5. What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself just by being a cabbage,” wrote Scorpio author Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944). “Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage — unless you have an agent and pay him a commission.” He was making the point that for us humans, it’s not enough to simply become good at a skill and express that skill; we need to hire a publicist or marketing wizard or distributor to make sure the world knows about our offerings. Generally, I agree with Giradoux’s assessment. But I think that right now it applies to you only minimally. The coming weeks will be one of those rare times when your interestingness will shine so brightly, it will naturally attract its deserved attention. Your motto, from industrialist Henry J. Kaiser: “When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 29 years old, Sagittarian composer Ludwig Beethoven published his String Quartet, Op. 18, No. 4. Most scholars believe that the piece was an assemblage of older material he had created as a young man. A similar approach might work well for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. I invite you to consider the possibility of repurposing tricks and ideas that weren’t quite ripe when you first used them. Recycling yourself makes good sense. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are there parts of your life that seem to undermine other parts of your life? Do you wish there was greater harmony between your heart and your head, between your giving and your taking, between your past and your future? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could infuse your cautiousness with the wildness of your secret self? I bring these questions to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect you’re primed to address them with a surge of innovative energy. Here’s my prediction: Healing will come as you juxtapose apparent opposites and unite elements that have previously been unconnected. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When he was 19, the young poet Robert Graves joined the British army to fight in World War I. Two years later, the Times of London newspaper reported that he had been killed at the Battle of the Somme in France. But it wasn’t true. Graves was very much alive, and continued to be for another 69 years. During that time, he wrote 55 books of poetry, 18 novels and 55 other books. I’m going to be bold and predict that this story can serve as an apt metaphor for your destiny in the coming weeks and months. Some dream or situation or influence that you believed to be gone will in fact have a very long second life filled with interesting developments. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re like most of us, you harbor desires for experiences that might be gratifying in some ways but draining in others. If you’re like most of us, you may on occasion get attached to situations that are mildly interesting, but divert you from situations that could be amazingly interesting and enriching. The good news, Pisces, is that you are now in a phase when you have maximum power to wean yourself from these wasteful tendencies. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to identify your two or three most important and exciting longings — and take a sacred oath to devote yourself to them above all other wishes and hopes. l
