‘Hypocrisy’ Editor: This is what the end of the world sounds like: hypocrisy. Hungary doesn’t want Putin to turn off the fossil fuels to their country so Hungary is turning a blind eye as Putin gobbles up Ukraine like jelly beans. The EU is basically footing the bill for Putin’s destruction of Ukraine because the EU doesn’t have the wherewithal to turn away from fossil fuels supplied by Putin (Mailbox, April 14). Meanwhile it is yet another clear blue sky day here at the beach and this state is gonna burn like a cross on a hill. Around the corner from my shabby trailer bulldozers level land to construct a bicycle path. In a society devoted to enormous solo-driven vehicles where people pay good cash money to ride cycles to nowhere, destroying native plants and pouring concrete for a bicycle path is sensible — accommodating, even.

Editor: After more than 40 years as a deputy district attorney, chief assistant district attorney, criminal and civil litigator, and a partner in one of Eureka’s law firms, I have practiced before each and every judge in this county. Although elected judicial vacancies are rare, I must observe that this time around, we are blessed to choose between two truly highly qualified candidates for this open judgeship. While both candidates are qualified and capable, I’m voting for Steven Steward for judge. Mr. Steward is honest, fair, hardworking and well balanced. His broad, competent experience, coupled with his calm and steady temperament, makes him the best choice to fairly administer justice as a judge of our court. Steady and steadfast, Steven Seward will be an extraordinary judge. Michael K. Robinson, Eureka Editor: I endorse and fully support Steven Steward for judge of the Humboldt County Superior Court. In the upcoming primary election on June 7, Humboldt County voters will have an opportunity to vote for Steven. I believe he is the best choice. I have practiced law in Humboldt County for 46 years and therefore have a good idea of what makes a good judge. The qualities that I look for in a judge are real-life experience and experience in the law, impartiality, fairness, compassion and integrity. Steve clearly has these qualities.

APD Chief: Justice for Josiah Hinges on Witnesses On fifth anniversary of fatal stabbing, AG offers support By Thadeus Greenson and Kimberly Wear thad@northcoastjournal.com kim@northcoastjournal.com

pril 15 marked another grim milestone for Charmaine Lawson: the fifth anniversary of the still unsolved killing of her son, David Josiah Lawson. At a vigil held on the Humboldt County Courthouse steps, Charmaine Lawson repeated her vow to never stop seeking justice for her son, as the Arcata Police Department once again issued a call for those who attended to the house party where the 19-year-old Humboldt State University sophomore was fatally stabbed to speak with investigators in the case. “It is paramount that witnesses come forward,” Chief Brian Ahearn said in a statement. “Our investigative team remains at the ready to respond to anyone at any time to document their statement as we continue the fact-finding process.” That fifth anniversary of Josiah Lawson’s stabbing at an off-campus party before dawn on April 15, 2017, amid a series of

fights at a home off of Spear Avenue comes amid a handful of developments in the case. In January, Arcata City Manager Karen Diemer and Ahearn wrote a letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta asking for assistance in the investigation, noting its “profound” impact on the community and stating the Arcata Police Department is small “and lacks the resources and the depth of expertise that we believe this case requires.” Ahearn told the Journal on April 19 that the request has already borne some fruit, with the chief of Bonta’s law enforcement division calling him multiple times to discuss the case, new information and investigative strategies. Additionally, Ahearn said the Attorney General’s Office has offered to make its Department of Justice agents available to interview potential witnesses who might not feel comfortable working with Arcata police.

organic gardening special And that’s potentially an impactful offer, Ahearn said, noting that APD has only been able to identify 40 or so of the more than 100 people who attended the house party at which Josiah Lawson was stabbed and that some of them have been reluctant to speak with detectives from the department. The investigation into Lawson’s death has been troubled from the start, plagued by a series of crucial initial missteps in controlling and processing the crime scene and securing potential witnesses. And because Lawson was Black and Kyle Zoellner — a then 23-yearold McKinleyville man who was arrested at the scene and remains the only suspect police have named in the case — is white, allegations of racial bias have persisted. A February 2020 report from the National Police Foundation found that while the emergency response did everything possible to try to save Lawson’s life, “many basic tenets of crime scene security and management” were not followed. The report cited a systemic failure by the police department’s then leadership to provide adequate training on crime scene management and command skills, which severely hindered the ensuing investigation, providing “fertile ground for false narratives … and created an environment that may have discouraged witnesses and others with factual information from coming forward.” That was followed a few months later by a Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury report, which found “failures, ineptitudes and poorly executed police work” but stated “it did not find direct evidence of racial bias.” Ahearn said his department continues to struggle getting witnesses to cooperate with the investigation, noting someone came forward about a year ago with new information about the case and pointed detectives to another witness in the case who refused to speak with them. “We have to be patient and meet with people at a time and a place that’s comfortable and safe for them,” Ahearn said, adding that he understands Lawson’s killing was a tremendously traumatic event for those who were there and he’s hopeful some who might be unwilling to speak to APD detectives would be comfortable talking to a DOJ agent. What seems clear, Ahearn said, is that

additional witnesses will be needed to get the case back into a courtroom. While Zoellner was arrested at the scene, a murder charge filed against him was dismissed a few weeks later when a Humboldt County Superior Court judge found prosecutors had presented insufficient evidence to support it, with witness accounts of the events leading up to the stabbing conflicting, no one having come forward who witnessed the stabbing itself and what was then a dearth of physical evidence in the case. Almost two years later — with DNA evidence showing Lawson, Zoellner and two other unidentified people having contributed to genetic material found on a knife found at the scene that police believe to have killed Lawson — Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming convened a criminal grand jury to consider charges against Zoellner, but the jury opted not to indict anyone in the case, sending it back to APD for further investigation. While some — including Charmaine Lawson — have said they hope a new district attorney taking office next year after Fleming’s term ends may bring a different result, Ahearn said he believes there are “gaps in the case” that need to be filled. “We need witnesses to corroborate that physical evidence,” he said. In July, Charmaine Lawson settled a lawsuit she filed against the city of Arcata alleging the city and its officials violated her constitutional rights to equal protection by inadequately and incompletely investigating the case, with racism and discrimination contributing to what the lawsuit described as the city’s “deliberately indifferent” policies and practices related to the investigation. Under the terms of the settlement, the city made a $200,000 payment to the Lawson family, a $25,000 donation to the David Josiah Lawson Memorial Scholarship fund and agreed to the painting of a memorial mural.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 21, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

A separate lawsuit brought against the city by Zoellner alleging unlawful arrest and false imprisonment, denial of medical care and defamation of character, meanwhile, continues to work its way through federal court. In February, a federal judge dismissed all of Zoellner’s allegations except two, which are scheduled to proceed in separate trials. The first will take up Zoellner’s allegation that former APD detective Eric Losey engaged in an act of malicious prosecution when he filed a police report that was later determined to include inaccurate information. Losey wrote in the report that a witness — Jason Martinez — who said he’d witnessed the stabbing had identified Zoellner as the man wielding a knife. The detective later testified this was written in error, as Martinez had simply described someone matching Zoellner’s appearance as the person who stabbed Lawson, which he said he’d inadvertently misrepresented in his report. In his ruling, District Judge Edward Chen said it should be left to a jury to decide whether Losey acted with malice and intentionally fabricated evidence in the case or merely made a mistake, which would be protected by qualified immunity. (It’s worth noting that Martinez’s testimony during Zoellner’s preliminary hearing was in direct conflict with that of another witness, Paris Wright. While Martinez testified he saw Lawson square up with a man who made several stabbing motions to his abdomen, at which point he saw Lawson run across a driveway and dive into the bushes where he was later found bleeding, Wright testified that he found Lawson lying on his back with Zoellner in a headlock on the other side of the driveway and, after separating the two, realized Lawson had been stabbed.) The other allegation that will be adjudicated in a separate trial is Zoellner’s claim that a lawyer representing the city threatened to have him criminally prosecuted

April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month if he moved forward with the civil case. The lawyer has denied he made any such threat, saying he was simply advising Zoellner that he’d be deposed under oath if the case moved forward — providing a sworn statement that could then potentially be used in a criminal prosecution. Zoellner was deposed in the case but a transcript of the deposition has not been released publicly. Asked if Zoellner said anything criminal investigators found to be of value, Ahearn said he couldn’t comment on that matter, citing the still pending litigation. Meanwhile, Charmaine Lawson and Diemer were scheduled to meet with Bonta personally on April 18. Diemer did not respond to an email inquiring about the meeting and an attempt to reach Charmaine Lawson for this story was not immediately successful, but Ahearn said he believes the mere fact that Bonta took time to personally meet with them is a positive sign the state is genuinely interested in helping. With the fifth anniversary of Lawson’s death bringing renewed attention to the case, Ahearn said he’s firm in the belief that someone out there saw what happened to Lawson and can provide the missing piece needed to bring his killer to justice. And, he said, he’s confident that person will eventually come forward. “We’re not going to quit and we’re not going to go away,” he said. “People are going to come forward. There will come a point in their lives when they feel the need to come forward.” Ahearn urged anyone who attended the party at which Lawson was killed — even those who may have left hours before the stabbing — to contact APD’s tip line at (707) 825-2590 and tell investigators what they saw. Even those who don’t have any direct knowledge about the killing may be able to point detectives to other witnesses in the case, he said. “I want to get this case back in a courtroom so we can get justice for Josiah, justice for Charmaine, justice for (Lawson’s brother) Anthony, justice for (Lawson’s sister) Chloe,” he said. “We have a lot of work left, but it starts with witnesses.”

USA TODAY Delves into How a Fired HSU Dean Landed a Tenured Post

SA TODAY published a twomonth investigation into the case of a former dean at now Cal Poly Humboldt who was given a tenured professorship under what’s known as “retreat rights,” even though he was fired from his administrative role in 2016 after campus investigations found he had groped two female colleagues. According to the article, John Lee currently teaches in the School of Education, earning $154,000 a year, under the “retreat” provision of his contract that guaranteed him a safe landing even if he engaged in serious misconduct. His reinstatement after a three-month leave placed him back among the same faculty as the women he was found to have harassed. “Retreat rights is not designed to be a Get Out of Jail Free card,” one of the women told USA TODAY, “but that’s exactly how it’s being used.” Lee, the USA TODAY story states, declined to comment. The investigation into the story, which is currently subscriber-only content, included interviews with dozens of Lee’s current and former colleagues at the Arcata campus, as well as contract and labor experts and those with expertise on Title IX, which prohibits sexual discrimination in education, and the review of dozens of documents, among them correspondences to then Humboldt State University administrators about Lee’s behavior, USA TODAY states. Complaints about Lee’s management style and his creation of a hostile work environment that included screaming insults began soon after he arrived at Humboldt in 2010 and continued, with those raising

concerns hitting brick walls in seeking assistance from both Human Resources and other high-ranking administrators, according to the USA TODAY report. That included Robert Snyder, who in one of his last acts as provost and vice president of Academic Affairs in 2014 reportedly altered Lee’s contract to ensure he would receive the maximum allowable salary if he retreated to a tenured position. Things took a turn in 2015 when Synder’s replacement urged one of Lee’s associate deans not to resign due to his conduct but to file an HR case, which eventually set into motion the two investigations that culminated with Lee’s firing from the dean post, according to USA TODAY. The report on California State University’s far-flung Humboldt campus comes on the heels of a related investigation that USA TODAY published in February (also subscriber only), which revealed how former Fresno State University President Joseph Castro gave one his top administrations a payout deal to retire rather than take a faculty position after he was found in 2020 to have committed abusive conduct in the workplace as well as sexual harassment. Castro, who had just been named CSU chancellor, resigned from his newly acquired position two weeks after USA TODAY published the story about Frank Lamas’ settlement and what the paper describes as Castro’s “mishandling of at least a dozen sexual harassment, bullying and retaliation complaints against Lamas over a six-year span.” In the end, Castro received a $400,000 settlement and ended up using his retreat rights to be a professor at Cal Poly San

ON THE COVER

‘Utmost Transparency’ EPD texting investigation finds [redacted] officers [redacted] , [redacted] and [redacted] By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

The cover page and complete — and heavily redacted — table of contents from the third-party investigation into the Eureka Police Department’s texting scandal as released to the Journal following a California Public Records Act request.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 21, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

n the hours and days after the Sacramento Bee published a series of leaked text messages shared between a unit of Eureka Police Department officers, the exchanges were quickly decried as “vile,” “abhorrent,” “egregious” and “profoundly upsetting” by officials and entities ranging from the Eureka Police Officers Association and the then chief of police to the city’s mayor and state assemblymember. As papers across the country picked up news of the leaked text messages — which were filled with deeply misogynistic, sexist and dehumanizing messages about women and evidenced a deep contempt for homeless residents, with one officer openly joking about rounding them up to push them into a burning building or using a helicopter to decapitate them — local officials moved quickly to respond. The two officers identified as sending the bulk of the offending texts — unit supervisor Sgt. Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez and officer Mark Meftah were placed on administrative leave, while then Police Chief Steve Watson announced the city was hiring an outside firm to investigate. Repeatedly, officials pledged to be as transparent as possible. Some 13 months later, with the investigation concluded, two officers having evaded intended discipline by retiring their posts with the city, a third having left to move out of state and two others having received unspecified “corrective action,” the public knows little more than it initially learned with the Bee’s bombshell report, which the Journal later corroborated, obtaining the leaked texts, as well as some others, through a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request. After the city announced via a one-page press release March 28 that an EPD captain and sergeant facing disciplinary action as a result of the third-party investigation had abruptly retired, effective immediately, the Journal filed another CPRA request with the city, this time seeking the full investigative report, which had cost the city more than $150,000, in addition to another $90,000 spent on outside legal review. On April 14, the city responded, saying the California government and penal codes protecting police officer personnel records

would not allow the report’s release in full. Nonetheless, City Attorney Autumn Luna wrote the Journal, “for the sake of utmost transparency,” the city was releasing a redacted copy of the report, with “all protected confidential information” removed. The heavily redacted report contains approximately 1,600 words spread across 24 pages, truncated from the original’s 191, which reportedly came to the city buttressed by hundreds of additional pages of appendices. What the city released offers very little new information about the investigation or its findings, but it does arguably illustrate the degree to which police officer personnel records are protected under state law. City Manager Miles Slattery and Mayor Susan Seaman both maintained in interviews with the Journal they wanted to release more of the report to the public but were counseled that doing so would violate officers’ legal protections, exposing the city to what Slattery said is a “mind blowing” level of liability. “I’ve said this from the beginning — we want to be as transparent as possible in this, but I also have an obligation to protect public funds,” Slattery said. And while the legal statutes in question and their application are certainly open to interpretation and argument, First Amendment Coalition Legal Director David Loy told the Journal that the city’s fear of liability is reasonable. “In fairness, they’re not wrong to be concerned with the risk of litigation for disclosure of police personnel records that must be kept secret under the law,” he said. “That’s a problem with the law, not a problem of excessive risk aversion. … The categories of police personnel records that must be kept secret by law are still quite large. The secrecy has been reduced by [recent legislation] but it’s by no means been eliminated. These are problems baked into state law.”

While the vast majority of the investigative report authored by Todd Simonson — a partner in the firm Sacks, Ricketts and Case, which the city hired to look into the texting scandal — remains shielded from

In the days following the Sacramento Bee’s bombshell report about a unit of Eureka police officers’ dehumanizing and violent text messages, protesters took to the streets in Eureka, calling for the officers involved to be fired. Photo by Mark McKenna public view, what the city released does have some kernels of new information. While city officials have noted the investigation quickly grew to include other misconduct allegations — at least one of which is what reportedly landed former Capt. Patrick O’Neill on administrative leave and facing disciplinary actions before he retired abruptly on March 25 along with Reyna-Sanchez — the report notes the firm was hired to look into text messages exchanged between members of Reyna-Sanchez’s squad between January and August of 2020. The largest takeaway from the redacted report is that it seems to unequivocally clear EPD command staff. “All of the witnesses interviewed were consistent and unanimous that other supervisors and the command staff were not aware of and had no reason to know of the nature of these texts, and there is no evidence to the contrary,” the report states. “Instead, it appears that there was general surprise, alarm and condemnation round the department when the nature of the texts was revealed in the March 17, 2021 Sacramento Bee article.” According to the report, Simonson ultimately interviewed at least 20 people as a part of the investigation — though we don’t know who because their names are redacted — and reviewed 77 documents, though we don’t know what because their descriptions are redacted. The report includes findings on 20 alle-

gations, all but two of which are redacted. Of the 18 redacted allegations, 10 were sustained, meaning there was “sufficient evidence to establish the act occurred and that it constituted misconduct.” Two were “not sustained,” meaning there was insufficient evidence to make a determination. Four were deemed “unfounded,” meaning the “alleged acts did not occur,” and another was deemed “exonerated,” meaning the alleged act occurred but was deemed “justified, lawful and/or proper.” The two allegations left un-redacted in the report both concerned EPD supervisors and whether they launched “unwarranted investigations” or made personnel decisions to punish employees they viewed “unfavorably,” and whether they “protected other supervisory employees from internal and external complaints of misconduct.” Simonson deemed the first allegation “unfounded,” while he refers to the second as “unfounded” in a summary page but then later refers to it as “not sustained” in the body of the report in an apparent contradiction.

describing the text messages, though the context is unclear: “It is also beyond dispute that many of these texts are inappropriate, profane, and/or derogatory and are properly viewed by the community as patently offensive and inconsistent with the values relative to law enforcement and the public trust.”

Reading the Bee’s initial report last year — which included officers’ text exchanges joking about the police shooting of a mentally ill veteran, describing women in dehumanizing language and sharing violent fantasies or jokes about killing homeless people, beating protesters and shooting a suspect — North Coast state Assemblymember Jim Wood said he found himself sad and angry. Specifically, Wood said he was concerned some EPD officers had a “culture extremely disrespectful to women, people of color, people protesting legally and people, frankly, who are extremely vulnerable and down on their luck.” He pledged to follow the investigation closely and ensure it “is transparent and appropriate to the serious nature of this behavior.” Reached by the Journal this week and provided a copy of the redacted report, Wood expressed disappointment. “It is extremely troubling that virtually all of the report has been redacted,” he said in an emailed statement. “The lack of transparency in this process is appalling, but just as important, how do we make sure this behavior by city police stops, that it doesn’t happen again and that the culture of local law enforcement regains the public’s trust?” Wood did not, however, address Journal questions about whether the state laws protecting police personnel records that the city cited in justifying its redactions “prevent transparency and hamper public trust.” For the mayor’s part, Seaman said she’s learned a whole lot about the legal protections “built into police officer investigations” and that the city had to be “very cautious” not to do anything that would either undercut the disciplinary process or expose it to additional liability. “I will say that it is a very frustrating situation to have information that you want to share but you can’t,” she said, adding that she hopes the city’s new independent police auditor and accountability board will help build public trust by providing another layer of oversight. Over at the First Amendment Coalition, Loy said that California — despite its progressive reputation on many issues — for decades carried the reputation as “possibly the most secretive state in the country when it comes to police officer personnel records.” That’s eased somewhat in recent years, he said, noting the passage of two landmark bills.

For decades, a collection of state laws known as the Police Officer’s Bill of Rights so tightly protected the confidentiality of law enforcement personnel records that even prosecutors were not allowed access to them. Records associated with investigations of police shootings, excessive force cases and even sustained findings of serious misconduct were all so tightly guarded that cities and counties were legally prohibited from giving them to prosecutors, much less disclosing them to the general public. Passed in 2018, Senate Bill 1421 began chipping away at that, requiring that agencies make public records from police shootings and major force incidents, as well as any sustained allegations of sexual assault or dishonesty while on duty. Three years later, Senate Bill 16 broadened the scope of S.B. 1421 to include records of any sustained findings that an officer used excessive force or failed to intervene against a fellow officer doing so, that an officer conducted an unlawful search or made an unlawful arrest, or that an officer engaged in conduct — including verbal or written statements — involving prejudice or discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, mental disability, gender or sexual orientation. Loy said the two laws represent a lot of progress, though there is still a wide gap between the state’s treatment of police officer personnel records and those of just about every other type of public employee, as evidenced by the extent of redactions in the EPD texting report. “The rules are significantly different,” he said, referring to the state’s treatment of police officer records as “preferential.” “In most cases for public employees, any time there is a reasonable cause to believe a complaint is well founded, the public has a right of access to records of employee misconduct, even if there is not necessarily a sustained finding. But police officers get special treatment under the law.” Asked the rationale for giving police officers such unique protections — not just in due process rights, but especially in shielding their records from public view — Loy said he didn’t know, but he thinks it’s a testament to the political power of police unions in the state. “I’m not sure why police officers should get a special standard compared to teachers, firefighters or other public employees,” Loy said. “In fact, one could argue the public has an expanded interest in access to these records because police officers carry a gun and a badge, and have extraordinary powers.” ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

The Pupusa Hustle

Pupuseria San Miguel opens in Arcata By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

n the hallway of Arcata’s Foodworks Culinary Center, a soft pat, pat, pat comes from the open doorway of Pupuseria San Miguel (100 Ericson Court, Unit 110). Inside the small kitchen, past the ersatz counter and behind a prep table covered with containers of masa, cheese and beans, Jorgelina Granados is passing a ball of masa stuffed with black beans and cheese from palm to palm, barely glancing down as she flattens it into a disc identical to the five already browning on the flat top beside her. Watching her hold a lump of white masa in one cupped hand, press a knob of refried black beans into it and quickly shape it into a pupusa is like watching a card trick, but without the flourish — as close as you look, your untrained eye always misses the exact moment of transformation. It’s a skill she says, with her son Gino translating, that she’s practiced since she was 4 or 5 years old, helping her mother in El Salvador, outside San Miguel, where she grew up. On Saturday, she turned out more than 300 pupusas at Pupuseria San Miguel, the takeout business she came to Humboldt to open with Gino this month. According to Gino, the venture isn’t so much about magic as it is hustle. Jorgelina Granados immigrated to the U.S. as a young woman in the late 1970s, during a time of political tumult in El Salvador. Settling in South Central Los Angeles, she raised her son and daughter as a single mother. “She worked really hard, and she pushed us to work hard and get an education,” says Gino. While she didn’t finish high school in El Salvador, Jorgelina had gotten training for sewing and so found work at a clothing factory, where she was paid by the piece to make jeans and shirts, and made wedding and quinceañera dresses on the side. “She would do this whole package — she’d do the wedding dresses and the bridesmaid dresses, and get them the shoes,” Gino recalls. And when she wasn’t sewing, she was making pupusas and tamales to sell in their neighborhood. Gino and his sister would help her haul a plastic container and knock on doors to sell the homemade pupusas and tamales. “But eventually, it became such a need that people would come to us.” Fridays after work, the three of them would go to Olympic

Market to buy corn husks and ingredients. “As soon as we got home, it was straight to work,” Gino says, with the kids chopping and prepping. “She’d stay up all night cooking them and getting them ready by 9 a.m. on Saturday and we would hit the streets,” with a hot pot of tamales packed in a nest of blankets in a folding cart they’d wheel to a park or the corner. Once her children left home and graduated from college, Jorgelina moved around, packing frozen vegetables in Oregon, and working on the line in meat packing facilities in Kansas and Nebraska — grueling and often dangerous work. And wherever she went, she sold homemade pupusas, too. In 2019, Gino says she was thinking about moving again and they started talking seriously about turning her side business into a company and working for herself. “She’s always been such a hard worker, such a hustler,” says Gino. “Growing up in a house without a man, I looked outside for a role model … but I was looking in the wrong place because my mom is really my role model. If I could be a quarter of the hustler she is … she’s always been this entrepreneur. I always had the blueprint right in front of me.” After earning a business and marketing degree from Humboldt State University, he returned to the county to work in human resources and later the cannabis industry before going back to now Cal Poly Humboldt for a master’s degree in business. These days, he’s chief operating officer at Culture Management, an umbrella company that covers a number of cannabis businesses — getting Pupuseria San Miguel off the ground is giving him a taste of his mother’s juggling act. Jorgelina is the majority owner of the pupuseria, Gino notes, and he sees his role as getting its systems set up and running smoothly so someone else can step in for him and his fiancée, Alohalani Hutchins, who handles the orders. “I will never be able to repay my mom but to have this opportunity to help her have her own business — I just feel so blessed.” Gino says he’s gotten a lot of support and guidance from the Small Business Devel-

opment Center in the form of classes and mentorship on everything from marketing, making a business plan, pitching to investors and talking about the product. Trying to calculate costs and pricing was a little tricky, despite the simple ingredients, since Jorgelina does everything by feel, mixing the masa and water into dough by touch and pinching off portions of filling by their weight and size in her fingertips. Gino says he had to snatch and weigh ingredients as she worked to figure out how much they needed and what the profits penciled out to. The ingredients are simple but the prep is laborious. The black beans take three hours to cook in vegetable oil. It takes four hours to make the chicharrón — simmering pork butt shoulder until it releases enough fat to fry in the pot, cooling and grinding it with vegetables and spices to yield a rich paste. There’s a vegan cheese option alongside the more traditional blend of mozzarella and a Central American cheese Gino says is a secret. There are a few add-ons, like chopped green buds of loroco, squash and jalapeño. But as flavorful as the smoky beans and chicharrón are, it’s the exterior of the pupusa that steals the show — a tender dough that holds together through flipping, even at the thinnest parts where the stuffing is visible, but pulls apart easily to reveal a steaming stretch of cheese, simultaneously delicate and belly-filling. So far, Gino says the response from customers has been enthusiastic, with people lining up and calling in for orders large and small. Demand has been high enough for them to revamp their system already — now they’re asking customers to call in orders and reserve a pick-up time. But even working for herself, Jorgelina hasn’t put aside her sewing business entirely. “She plans to make my fiancée’s wedding dress,” says Gino. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

ART BEAT

Butch Cornelius’ Surf Art History By Tamar Burris

artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

ou may never have heard his name but if you are a surfer — particularly a surfer of a certain age — you have surely seen Butch Cornelius’ work. Raised alongside elite surfers and surf artists of his day, he brushed against fame yet never really had it. Still, the aesthetic of the former graphic artist, who now lives and makes art in Eureka, echoes in the surfing world today. Clifford “Butch” Cornelius grew up in the Pacific Beach community of San Diego. A classic SoCal surf-and-skate neighborhood, it is famous for producing both the first popular polyurethane surfboards by Gordon and Smith Surfboards (or G&S as the company is widely known), as well as many talented surfers. Cornelius spent his formative years playing in Mission Bay, gravitating to standup surfing in 1958. His social circle included the likes of Butch Van Artsdalen — called “Mr. Pipeline” for his prowess surfing big waves at Pipeline in Hawaii — and Mike Hynson, renowned surfboard shaper and star of the cult classic documentary The Endless Summer. Along with surfing, Cornelius honed his artistic skills early on. He mingled with slightly older surfers who were cartoonists and design professionals, like Mike Dormer who created the iconic Hot Curl surf cartoon. By the time he hit high school, Cornelius was an avid cartoonist, selling his work to kids on the playground. During his sophomore year at Mission Bay High School, he got his first big art breaks. “When I was in 10th grade, Hobie opened their shop in Pacific Beach,” he said. “When the shop opened, Butch Van Artsdalen asked if I could sell my drawings there.” With that, a career was born. Cornelius made a name for himself around Mission Bay with his single-sheet comics. He also started silk-screening T-shirts for both Hobie and Surfer magazine out of the shop’s back room. In 1962, as SoCal’s surf scene grew, Pacific Beach Surf Shop hired him to create its logo. Used until 2016, his iconic drawing of a rubbery, big-footed surfer with a shock of blonde hair and clutching a surfboard next to hand-drawn lettering is arguably one of

the longest-running logos in surf history. Over the years, the company has emblazoned it on everything from surfboards to stickers and hats. Although the Pacific Beach Surf Shop logo is well-recognized in the surf world, perhaps even more iconic is what came next: art for the legendary Windansea Surf Club. According to Cornelius, in 1963 rumor had it Surfrider Beach in Malibu (now Malibu Lagoon State Beach) was closing to develop a boat harbor. Several of his cohort got together at the Hobie store to discuss participating in the “last-ever” Malibu Invitational surf contest. The hitch was they needed to be a formal surf club to enter. So, they created one. The group of ragtag surfers founded the Windansea Surf Club, an organization that has since made a prestigious name for itself all over the world. Cornelius’ original design for the club remains its identifying mark. It is a throwback reminder of those early surf days, a time before major corporate sponsorship and big money for surfing events. “We decided on a name [at the meeting], and boom! I went to the back, grabbed a blank T-shirt and a red felt pen and that was that,” recalled Cornelius. “The club went to Malibu and won just about every trophy. I thought about cleaning it up, but we liked it. They still use my design to this day — it’s been in movies, ads for Vans shoes, it’s everywhere.” Cornelius went on to have a long career, drawing comics, cartoons for the Windansea newsletter, logos for magazines and surf and skateboard organizations, as well as mural work in San Diego. He also worked as an U.S. Army illustrator after originally being drafted for the Vietnam War in 1967. Eventually, after what he reflects upon as years of too much surf and partying, he wanted a change of scene. “Surfing was my heroin,” Cornelius mused. “I dropped everything for a wave — I skipped work, whatever. I was doing just enough to get by and at the same time, I hung out with famous cartoonists like Scott Shaw. These guys were doing their artwork and I wasn’t. I couldn’t get myself into art the way that I wanted to.” In addition to his desire to concen-

trate on his artwork, Cornelius also suffered from PTSD and had developed skin cancer related to his exposure to Agent Orange used by the U.S. government while in Vietnam. It was time to get out of the sun. He found his way to Humboldt County in 1991 to truly concentrate on his art. Moving around Southern Humboldt for almost three decades before settling in Eureka a few years back, Cornelius mostly designed silkscreen T-shirts and logos, including for Reggae on the River in 2000 and 2001, before getting deeper into murals and Buddhist-inspired artwork. He spent years pumping out graphic design and artwork that many Humboldt folks are familiar with, like graphics and logo lettering for Dazey’s Supply, title lettering and 10 years of cartoons for The Trader magazine, and even hand-drawn movie posters for the old theater in Garberville. While the San Diego crew still requests artwork, Cornelius has retired from design work. These days you are more likely to find him hanging out on his own, meditating or working on his surfing-inspired

paintings and spiritually infused dragon pieces in his home studio. Unfortunately, more than 30 years of his portfolio, including much of his original surf and skate work, burned in a fire several years back. Still, Cornelius says he is content with his mark on the world, representing as it does some 50 years of surf and skateboard history and the design landscape stretching from the beaches of Southern California to Humboldt. l Tamar Burris (she/her) is a freelance education writer and relationship coach.

In Search of the Marbled Murrelet By Sarah Hobart

getout@northcoastjournal.com

arlier this year, I celebrated a major birthday — well, “survived” is perhaps the better word. It was one of those milestones that falls on the far side of middle-aged, where it’s a lot harder to convince yourself the crackling sounds you hear when you heave yourself out of your cushy recliner are coming from your furniture and not your facet joints. As the anniversary of my birth drew near, I was excited, true, but also resigned, maybe even a little grumpy. So, what did I do? Go birding, of course. And not just any birding: I consulted with local avian expert and guide Rob Fowler and we agreed I needed a life bird — one I’d never seen and identified before — to mark the occasion. After weighing a few candidates, the one we settled on was the marbled murrelet, a small bird facing some big challenges — and with a secret life that makes it unique. The marbled murrelet is an alcid, a family of seabirds that includes puffins, auklets and murres. But while the other alcids nest on cliffs or rocky coastal islands, the marbled murrelet nests in trees, laying a single egg on the moss-covered limb of an old growth redwood or Douglas fir. The male and female take turns incubating the egg and commuting up to 30 miles to the ocean to provide fish for their speckled chick. Their breeding plumage of brown “marbled” with white is the perfect camouflage for their forest-canopy nest. Though listed as endangered in California since 1992, these robin-sized birds continue to reside in moderate numbers here on the coast, and there are a few places to find them reliably. Yet somehow, in two decades of Humboldt birding, I hadn’t managed to find even one. I was murrelet-challenged.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 21, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

A detail from Lucas Thornton’s mural “A Marvelous Mural of Marbled Murrelets” on the Arcata Bay Crossing building. Photo by Sarah Hobart When the big day arrived, Fowler and I met up with three fellow birders and hit the road north. Though the morning had started off shrouded in fog, the farther we traveled, the more blue sky we found, with sunlight falling in dazzling columns through the redwood canopy. Gaps in the trees framed heart-stopping views of the Pacific that stretched to infinity. I’d seen it all before but suddenly everything about the place I lived seemed exciting and new. Our first stop was just north of Freshwater Lagoon. We scanned the ocean with scopes and binoculars for marbled murrelets, which are black and white in winter and often swim in pairs well out from shore. The wind was cold and tall swells capped in white foam crashed onto the beach. A Clark’s grebe surfed the waves — a good bird but not the one we were looking for. The same was true of a flock of black scoters, striking sea ducks with coal-black plumage and orange knobs on their bills. We tried two other locations at various points south with no luck. After a few murrelet-less hours, we ended up at a pullout on Scenic Drive. Our vantage point high up on the bluff gave us a panoramic view of calmer waters. Not far offshore was a rocky islet covered in common murres, hundreds of them circling the rock like a cloud of insects. While the rest of us were ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the masses of murres, Fowler scanned the ocean and suddenly announced, “Marbled murrelets in the scope!” And there they were: two tiny black and white birds swimming through the surf. We picked up a few more great birds before heading to Vista Point in McKinleyville for a tailgate party with cake, ice cream and more incredible views. It was an unforgettable birthday.

In the weeks since, though, this unusual and mysterious bird has often been in my thoughts. Despite its protected status, the marbled murrelet’s numbers have continued to decline at an alarming rate. The once-huge tracts of old growth forest that offered a safe haven for its sky-high nests have been cut relentlessly; what’s left are fractured groves mostly found in state and national parks, leaving the murrelet vulnerable to the kind of predators that follow humans and their trash into the parks. The specter of extinction is a harrowing possibility. Amid the overwhelming crises that continue to stagger our world, the plight of a tiny seabird seems almost insignificant. It’s just one bird, after all. Most people have never even heard of it. But it matters. Every bird matters. And if we can pull together and find a way to save this bird, then maybe we have what it takes to fix those other problems, big and small. I’m told during breeding season the marbled murrelets leave their nests at dawn and fly to the Pacific Ocean, their keer calls piercing the early morning stillness. My dream is that when my next milestone rolls around, I’ll celebrate it by listening to those calls echo through tall trees at first light, in greater numbers than ever before. And that we, as stewards of this planet, will continue to do what’s necessary to ensure this tiny bird always finds a place to make its nest 150 feet up in the sky, and that inaction and indifference are replaced by something more sustainable: hope. And that there’ll be more cake. ● Sarah Hobart (she/her) is a freelance writer based in Humboldt County.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Spring Rains a Bonus for North Coast Rivers By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

Marty Woods holds a Smith River steelhead caught in early April prior to the rise in flows. The spring rains hitting the coast now will have a positive impact on the health of salmon and steelhead runs, as well as the rivers themselves. Photo courtesy of Mick Thomas.

ith very little rain falling throughout our region from January to March, most of us were already preparing for summer. However, the April showers hitting the coast are providing a second winter. These rains will definitely impact the health of future salmon and steelhead runs, which will likely be stronger a few years down the road because of it. First off, the late winter and spring rains will benefit the next run of adult fish moving upriver, mainly spring salmon and summer steelhead. It may also increase the survival rates for recently spawned adult steelhead, or kelts, as well as salmon and steelhead fry and smolts that are all making their way downstream to the estuaries and ocean. The high, muddy water allows the fish to make their way downriver with less risk of predation. The lack of fishing pressure will also help the kelts make their way back downriver successfully. Heavy spring rains should, in many cases, also result in higher flows and improved water quality later in the summer. In most cases, the high flows also contribute to the health and complexity of the river’s estuary. A nutrient-rich estuary offers the young fish ample sources of food, allowing them to grow to an optimal size before entering the ocean. This greatly increases their chances of survival. A healthy estuary is also beneficial for the kelts, weak from their spawning journey, offering a safe haven for them prior to making their way back to the ocean. With nature, it seems for every plus

there’s also a minus. In the event of extremely high late-winter and spring flows, problems can also occur for fish. Without adequate freshwater and estuarine slack water habitat, the young fish can get washed downstream before they’re ready, putting them in harm’s way. Extremely high late-winter and early spring flows can also have a negative impact on late-spawning fish. Spawning areas known as “redds” can be scoured or the gravels within redds can be buried in fine sediment, preventing the young from emerging. After a few months of unseasonably dry weather, it’s a blessing to see the rivers running high and dirty. Hopefully our “second winter” will pay dividends in the future.

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

Eel (main stem) After peaking at nearly 20,000 cubic feet per second Sunday, the main is big and brown. With more rain on the way, it’s forecast for another big rise to 21,000 by Friday morning. Needless to say, it will be blown out for some time. The main stem Eel to the South Fork is open all year. Only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used through Sept. 30.

Smith River With more rain in the forecast this week, another big rise is predicted for Thursday morning that could top 12 feet

at Jed Smith. Flows will then drop and conditions are shaping up nicely for the weekend. This will likely flush the last of the spawned-out steelhead downriver and could bring in a few fresh ones. The main stem of the Smith will remain open through the end of April from its mouth to the confluence with the Middle and South Forks. The Middle Fork will also remain open through April from its mouth to Patrick’s Creek. The South Fork is open through April as well, from its mouth upstream approximately 1,000 feet to the County Road (George Tryon) bridge and Craig’s Creek to Jones Creek.

Lower Rogue The best spring salmon fishing so far this season took place at the end of last week and over the weekend on the lower Rogue, reports Andy Martin of Wild River Fishing. “Guides were getting two to four springers a day, about half wild and half hatchery,” said Martin. “The river was still fishable after Monday’s rain but was still rising. Last week’s rain brought in big schools of spring kings.” ● Read the complete fishing roundup at www.northcoastjournal.com.

Rock of Ages By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

’ve been reading about and looking at a lot of prehistoric art recently. Maybe when the future looks bleak enough, it’s a survival instinct to look back at the far distant past. Maybe it’s because I’ve been slowly making my way through David Graeber (RIP) and David Wengrow’s excellent 2021 book The Dawn of Everything to try to find some hope in humanity’s possibilities. Either way, I was really taken by the communal dance images in the Bhimbetka rock shelters in India, whose Late Stone Age figures really seem to come alive from their frozen motion. And as Matisse’s famous duet of paintings suggest, where there is Dance, there is surely Music. What kind of music these ancient people enjoyed and for what purpose I cannot say. Reading Graeber and Wengrow’s words has me thinking my own biased American brain, beaten and stirred as it is by the jarring gestalt transition from the Late Television into the Internet Age, is probably not up to the task of working it out. I can only speculate. However, I am much better equipped to explain what musical delights you can have going on this week. I’ve even made a list! How you choose to enjoy the music and to what purpose, that’s strictly up to you. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thursday

For years I have cringed at ads and press releases that describe an act as “intelligent” or “conscious” hip hop. All art requires a conscious mind for its realization and, with the exception of the television career of Aaron Sorkin, all successful creative works are in some way intelligent. To attach a useless designator like “intelligent” to a hip hop act degrades the genre as a whole and says a lot about what the writer’s opinions are on intellect in general. So, I won’t be describing the artists at the Van Duzer at 9 p.m. tonight that way, but rather say that North Bay’s Sage the Gemini and Chicago’s rising star Ric Wilson have each earned their audiences by having something to say and making that message sound good. I think they’re worth your time and, if you’re a Cal Poly Humboldt student, the show is free anyway. For the rest of us it’s a reasonable $25.

Stygian Bough plays the Miniplex on Friday, April 22 at 8:30 p.m. Courtesy of the artist

Friday

Big metal night tonight with a diverse representation of one of the broadest of musical genres. Sacramento’s melodic death act Wastewalker headlines a furious show at RampArt Skatepark at 7 p.m. Local support from Echoes of Ruination, War Möth and Malicious Algorithm promises a diversity of chugs to compliment your headbanging. The posters I have seen around town do not include any info on the cover charge, so I’d bring a few bucks just in case. All ages. If you prefer your metal to be slower and doomier, then tonight’s show at the Miniplex is right for you. Seattle duo Bell Witch has teamed up with grim folkster Erik Moggridge aka Aerial Ruin for a collaborative work called Stygian Bough, the first volume of which came out in 2020. I sure liked it. Mysterious act Vouna opens the show at 8:30 p.m. ($20, $15 advance).

Saturday

I like shows at the Arcata Vet’s Hall. The upstairs room has a great floor for dancing and the sound isn’t too boomy when there are enough moving bodies on it. And the old Songwriter Circle of Death shows downstairs were an absolute delight. With the new bar down there, I’d say this occasional venue is rapidly becoming a favorite and I am happy to champion it. Which I will be doing tonight at 7:30 p.m.

by cordially inviting those of you 21 and up to come and enjoy Side Iron, Dead Drift and Pill for Thrills, three local acts whose names each perfectly capture the region of loud guitar-driven music that they inhabit ($10). Can’t forget The Bored Again, aka the solo act of bassist Dave O and the progenitor of the previously mentioned death circle for songwriters.

Sunday

It’s been a while since I’ve promoted a nice, wholesome, family-friendly event in a place with a liquor license, so here’s one for the kiddos, too. Silver Hammer, Humboldt’s main supply when it comes to the celebration of the songbook of a little quartet from 1960’s Liverpool that you might have heard of, is playing a matinee show at Humbrews at 2 p.m. Ten bucks gets anyone over 12 in the door, and anyone 12 and under gets in Free as a Bird.

Monday

Two decades into its career and Portland’s Blitzen Trapper is on the road again, bringing its catchy outsider folk country up and down the coast, finding safe harbor in Humbrews tonight at 8 pm. I have always liked this band playing in the background of pleasant memories indoors and out, but have never seen them live, something I might have to rectify tonight. Opening is Portland duo Dead Lee, about

whom I know next to nothing beyond that it is the side project of Trapper’s drummer Brian Koch ($22, $20 advance).

Tuesday

It’s dance night over at the Miniplex, with ramblin’ and rovin’ Norcal/Nevada singer and rapper Jazzy Jayne teaming up with Lithuanian DJ Diskoteka to throw a leg shaker, pardners. Downtempo singer DANKAA and Humboldt’s own rapper Ijal provide support at 8 p.m. ($5-$10 sliding scale).

Wednesday

Touring lords of the West Coast Alt Latin scene, Chicano Batman returns to Arcata to supply its brilliant tropical funk sound to the people. Which people? Why, the ones who can make it to the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 8 p.m. and fork over $29 to the nice folks at the front door. Chicago’s poppy fusion act Divino Niño opens up the night’s soundscape with its regal and surreal tones. l Collin Yeo (he/him) isn’t quite “prehistoric” old, but he was raised in a different world and century, which probably makes him indistinguishable from Ötzi the Iceman to anyone born after 9/11. He lives in Arcata.

Josiah Gregg: Prairie Years By Barry Evans

Title page of Josiah Gregg’s Commerce of the Prairies, 1844. Public domain

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com “[In 1839] An unconquerable propensity to return to prairie life inclined me to embark in a fresh enterprise.” — Commerce of the Prairies, Josiah Gregg, published in 1844

large brass plaque outside Eureka City Hall celebrates the Josiah Gregg overland expedition, which “discovered” Humboldt Bay in late December of 1849. Two months later, 43-year-old Gregg — doctor, explorer, naturalist, merchant, surveyor, cartographer, photographer, author — died near Clear Lake after falling from his horse, having been weakened by starvation. Sadly, he and his party are barely acknowledged here in Humboldt. Lewis Keysor Wood gave his name to a boulevard in Arcata, James Van Duzen to a tributary of the Eel, David Buck to Bucksport in south Eureka and J.B. Truesdale to Truesdale Street, south of the Bayshore Mall. In addition to Truesdale, the original plat map of that area includes the names of Thomas Seabring, Charles Southard and — finally! — Gregg himself. Gregg lived what most people would consider several rich and fulfilling lifetimes, despite suffering from chronic dyspepsia (indigestion) and, probably, tuberculosis. Born in Tennessee in 1806, he grew up in Illinois and Missouri. In 1830, while living in Independence, Missouri, his doctor recommended he spend time in the great outdoors, specifically the southern prairies. He writes, “The Prairies have, in fact, become very celebrated for their sanative effects. …Most chronic diseases, particularly liver complaints, dyspepsias, and similar affections, are often radically cured; owing, no doubt, to the peculiarities of diet, and the regular exercise incident to prairie life, as well as to the purity of the atmosphere of those elevated unembarrassed regions. … An invalid myself; I can answer for the efficacy of the remedy.”

Between 1830 and 1849, Gregg established himself as the most experienced “caravan master” of the Santa Fe Trail, leading huge wagon trains between Independence and Santa Fe. He also pioneered other routes across the prairies, including spearheading a supply line south to Chihuahua, Mexico, at a time when the French navy was blockading Mexican ports. In addition to successful business ventures, he pursued his love of geology, cultures of Native tribes and, in particular, botany; 47 species of plants bear his patronym greggii. Love of the prairies led to Gregg’s bestseller, Commerce of the Prairies (it’s in the Humboldt County Library, great read!), published simultaneously in New York and London in 1844. The subtitle reads: “… or the Journal of a Santa Fe Trader during Eight Expeditions across the Great Western Prairies, and a Residence of Nearly Nine Years in Northern Mexico.” It went through six editions within the next few years, not including translations into French and German. In 1845, at age 39, he enrolled in the University of Louisville medical school for two semesters before joining another wagon train out of Independence. Apparently, he couldn’t get enough of the prairies. When the Mexican War broke out in 1846, he joined the Arkansas Volunteers as an interpreter — he spoke Spanish fluently — and unofficial correspondent. In February of 1847, he sent his eyewitness account of the ambiguous battle of Buena Vista (near Monterrey, Coahuila), in which both sides claimed victory, to newspapers in the U.S. In what would turn out to be the last chapter of his rich life, Gregg’s days in California began shortly after discovery of gold at John Sutter’s mill in January of 1848. That’s a story for next week. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) finds it enough of a challenge to live just one life well.

Learning from Our Mistakes

Apple’s Slow Horses and Netflix’s Looop Lapeta By Jennifer Savage

screens@northcoastjournal.com Back to the priceless camaraderie of in-person office work. Slow Horses

SLOW HORSES. Given that my daily news podcast unloads an avalanche of horror and idiocy most mornings, what I want when I turn to entertainment is a change, something free from cruelty, stupidity and despair. The trailer for Slow Horses — a six-part Apple TV+ original starring Gary Oldman and based on a book series by British novelist Mick Herron — promised relief, boasting quick wit and a silly premise: British spies who’ve screwed up are sent to “Slough House” to spend their days doing meaningless paper pushing under the supervision of MI5 burnout Jackson Lamb (Oldman). Oldman, whose range has included successfully portraying Sid Vicious, Winston Churchill and Commissioner Gordon, inhabits the slobbish Lamb as if he’s relishing the squalor. The wit does come quickly and my early dismay that I’d maybe chosen A Movie Starring Men with a Cast of Men Being Men eased as the show settled in. We begin in the familiar setting of a spy on a mission — in this case, one River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), who seems to be kind of a jerk, what with losing track of the guy he’s supposed to be surveilling, tackling the wrong guy, not apologizing for his mistake and then, despite orders from boss lady Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas), barreling through a bunch of civilians while giving chase to the correct suspect. To be fair, who hasn’t had a bad day at work? We next see Cartwright eight months after his blunder has landed him at Slough House among a suite of screwups, dumping rubbish on his office floor. Lamb has directed him to sort through this trash, but when Cartwright asks what he’s supposed to be looking for, Lamb responds, “The remnants of a once promising career.” Zing! That’s the kind of verbal slinging I’m here for. Slow Horses also delivers a more disturbing plotline than I’d

anticipated — which happens to me a lot, looking at you, Reacher — as the agents stumble into actual spy work. As the show’s arc continues, we learn more about the other disgraced spies and are offered hints into their backstories, from the comical to the tragic. By three episodes in, some lessons about how our mistakes shape us could be extracted by a viewer prone to such musings. The show’s theme song, “Strange Games” by Mick Jagger, is as bluesy and cocksure as you’d expect from the man who made not getting satisfaction sound like the best thing ever. It provides an excellent soundtrack to such musings. Mostly, though, the series bounces through three main moods: the entertaining banter, the legitimately compelling crossing and double-crossing driving the plot, and a display of spies doing spy stuff exaggerated enough to border on sarcastic. How many spy movies have we seen in which the supposedly sneaky spy stands out in the crowd, striding purposefully through a sea of bystanders not even close to blending in? The show’s score heightens dramatic tension to a level that nudges the audience as if to say, “We know what we’re doing here.” Which is more than can be said for our somewhat hapless spies who are busy trying to stop a white nationalist plot (straight from the headlines, people) while bonding over their shared status as losers. They want to be useful but their time at Slough House hasn’t exactly sharpened what skills they might have had. Whether they prove to be misfits deserving of a second chance or permanently inept agents who belong in purgatory surely hinges on the final three episodes of the show. Here’s hoping for redemption in a world that could use it. APPLE TV+. LOOOP LAPETA. And for something completely different, I present to you

Looop Lapeta, Aakash Bhatia’s wild romp of a film available on Netflix. We follow Savina (Taapsee Pannu) as she races, literally, across the city and against time to save her irresponsible boyfriend Satyajeet (Tahir Raj Bhasin) from what is sure to be a gruesome death after he loses a suitcase of cash belonging to a restaurant owner who appears to have one heck of a side hustle. Things go from bad to worse to seemingly irreparable, but, since the movie’s barely started, a clever viewer will be unsurprised when the scene cuts back to the opening and Savina’s journey begins again. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Bhatia’s film is a Hindi adaptation of the 1998 German flick Run Lola Run. Despite its status as a semi-remake and even with all the time-loop movies of late, Looop Lapeta feels delightfully unique. Like the original, it sprints along with a certain sexy-cool aesthetic, but it also takes that vibe and goes exponential, building on the story by adding subplots that heighten both the comedy and the romance. The result is admittedly chaotic and great fun. R. 131M.

ASTROLOGY

Free Will Astrology Week of April 21, 2022 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: What’s your favorite ethical trick? Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries author Marge Piercy writes, “I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what has to be done, again and again.” According to my analysis of the astrological factors, you’ll be wise to be like a person Piercy describes. You’re entering a phase of your cycle when diligent work and impeccable self-discipline are most necessary and most likely to yield stellar rewards. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1879, Taurus-born Williamina Fleming was working as a maid for astronomer Edward Charles Pickering, director of the Harvard Observatory. Impressed with her intelligence, Pickering hired Fleming to do scientific work. By 1893, she had become a prominent, award-winning astronomer. Ultimately, she discovered the Horsehead Nebula, helped develop a system for identifying stars, and cataloged thousands of astronomical phenomena. I propose that we make her your role model for the duration of 2022. If there has ever been a year when you might achieve progress like Fleming’s, it’s this one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 2500 years, Egypt was a conquered territory ruled by non-Egyptians. Persians took control in 525 BCE. Greeks replaced them. In succeeding centuries, Egypt had to submit to the authority of the Roman Empire, the Persians again, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Islamic Caliphate, the Mamluk Sultanate, the Ottomans, and the British. When British troops withdrew from their occupation in 1956, Egypt was finally an independent nation self-ruled by Egyptians. If there are any elements of your own life story that even partially resemble Egypt’s history, I have good news: 2022 is the year you can achieve a more complete version of sovereignty than you have ever enjoyed. And the next phase of your freedom work begins now. CANCER (June 21-July 22): During the next four weeks, some of the best lessons you can study and learn will come to you while you’re socializing and communicating. Even more than is usually the case, your friends and allies will offer you crucial information that has the power to catalyze dynamic decisions. Lucky encounters with Very Interesting People may open up possibilities worth investigating. And here’s a fun X-factor: The sometimes surprising words that fly out of your mouth during lively conversations will provide clues about what your deep self has been half-consciously dreaming of. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Hold on tight, I would tell myself, but there was nothing for me to hold on to.” A character in one of Haruki Murakami’s novels says that. In contrast to that poor soul, Leo, I’m happy to tell you that there will indeed be a reliable and sturdy source for you to hold onto in the coming weeks—maybe more than one. I’m glad! In my astrological opinion, now is a time when you’ll be smart to get thoroughly anchored. It’s not that I think you will be in jeopardy. Rather, you’re in a phase when it’s more important than usual to identify what makes you feel stable and secure. It’s time to bolster your foundations and strengthen your roots. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the latter half of the 19th century, the US government collaborated with professional hunters to kill millions of bison living in America’s Great Plains. Why? It was an effort to subjugate the Indigenous people who lived there by eliminating the animals that were their source of food, clothing, shelter, bedding, ropes, shields, and ornaments. The beloved and useful creatures might have gone extinct altogether if it had not been for the intervention of a Virgo rancher named Mary Ann “Molly” Goodnight. She single-handedly rebuilt the bison herds from a few remaining survivors. I propose that we make Goodnight your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. What dwindling resources or at-risk assets could you restore to health?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): British Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758–1805) was born under the sign of Libra. He was a brilliant and unconventional strategist whose leadership brought many naval victories for his country. Yet he was blind in one eye, was missing most of his right arm from a battle wound, and was in constant discomfort from chronic seasickness. I propose we make him one of your patron saints for the coming weeks. May he inspire you to do your best and surpass your previous accomplishments even if you’re not feeling perfect. (But also keep in mind: The problems you have to deal with will be far milder than Nelson’s.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Anti-apartheid activist Bantu Stephen Biko (1946–1977) was profoundly committed to authenticity. The repressive South African government hated that about him. Biko said, “I’m going to be me as I am, and you can beat me or jail me or even kill me, but I’m not going to be what you want me to be.” Fortunately for you, Scorpio, you’re in far less danger as you become more and more of your genuine self. That’s not to say the task of learning how to be true to your deep soul is entirely risk-free. There are people out there, even allies, who may be afraid of or resistant to your efforts. Don’t let their pressure influence you to dilute your holy quest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul,” said Sagittarian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Inspired by his observation, I’m telling you, “The practical dreamer should train not only her reasoning abilities but also her primal intuition, creative imagination, non-rational perceptivity, animal instincts, and rowdy wisdom.” I especially urge you to embody my advice in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time to make abundant use of the other modes of intelligence that help you understand life as it really is—and not merely as the logical, analytical mind conceives it to be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The language spoken by the Indigenous Cherokee people is at least 3,000 years old. But it never had a written component until the 1820s. Then a Cherokee polymath named Sequoyah formulated a syllabary, making it possible for the first time to read and write the language. It was a herculean accomplishment with few precedents in history. I propose we name him your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. In my astrological understanding, you are poised to make dramatic breakthroughs in self-expression and communication that will serve you and others for a long time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A study by psychologists concludes there is a good way to enhance your willpower: For a given time, say one week, use your non-dominant hand to brush your teeth, wield your computer mouse, open your front door with your key, or perform other habitual activities. Doing so boosts your ability to overcome regular patterns that tend to keep you mired in inertia. You’re more likely to summon the resolution and drive necessary to initiate new approaches in all areas of your life—and stick with them. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to try this experiment. (For more info, read this: https://tinyurl.com/ BoostWillpower) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be justified to say something like that in the near future. Now is a favorable time to honestly acknowledge differences between you and others—and accept those differences just as they are. The important point is to do what you need to do without decreeing that other people are wrong or misguided. l

OBITUARIES

Joseph Raymond Copp November 11, 1941-February 19, 2022 Joseph Raymond Copp was born on November 11, 1941. He passed away peacefully at his home in Reedsport Oregon on February 19, 2022. He was 80 years old. As a teenager Joe could always be found under the hood of a car, and hunting or fishing in the ocean. At 16 he was a deckhand on several sport fishing charters out of Long Beach, CA. Joe joined the Air Force in 1959 and earned a Sharp Shooter designation and award. Because of his sharp shooting ability in 1960 he was stationed in South Korea as part of the peacekeeping efforts. In 1962 he was on standby in Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His final duty station was in England as a heavy duty equipment mechanic. After leaving the Air Force in 1967 Joe returned to the family home in Ventura County, CA. He gained employment at the Port Hueneme Naval Base where he repaired heavy duty construction equipment for the Vietnam War. During his years at the navy base he served on the Equal Opportunity Board and the Navy Safety Commission. He received numerous awards for his ideas and implementation of safety procedures. Joe was very proud of being part of the Red Cross emergency blood donation program. He was a member of the rarest blood types. He was called upon to donate day or night, always willing to answer the call to save another’s life. Joe continued to enjoy hunting, fishing and cars all his life. While in England he raced his own stock car. He went on many hunting trips with his father, brothers and friends. After his move to Arleta, CA he earns his Captain’s license and skipped the “Skippy” out of Eureka. Joe is survived by his wife Cathrine, his daughters Christine and Sarah Copp, his grandson Kyle Dicke, brother Roy Copp and sister Anita Boeris. Joe was preceeded in death by his brother Laurence Copp. Joe’s wish was to have his ashes scattered at sea in the ocean he loved.
