‘Many Eyes Watching’

Editor:

Another excellent investigative report by Thadeus Greenson on deputy Soeth (“The Soeth Files,” May 4).

The California Public Records Act and freedom of the press are some of the most effective tools we have to hold governmental agencies accountable. The repeated offenses are painting a pretty clear picture.

Deputy Soeth may still be on patrol; but he has to wear a name tag and now there are many eyes watching. Abuse of power hides much too often under the guise of righteous defense. It’s also a natural fit for a sadistic personality. Our police shortage only exacerbates the problem as management will be reluctant to sideline abusive officers.

Hopefully deputy Soeth is salvageable; but only if he can recognize his own tendency to abuse and then deny. Management also needs to be willing to recognize the problem and aggressively pursue abusers; not just administer a slap on the wrist.

This is not rocket science; the rules of engagement are clear. We need police officers and, yes, they are bravely putting themselves in harm’s way to protect the ordinary citizen. But your bravery and honesty are your true power; use it wisely and we will shower you with our respect and gratitude.

TJ Jennings, Arcata

‘Gobsmacked’

Editor:

Of all the horrors contained in the

cover story “The Soeth Files,” the one that gobsmacked was District Attorney Maggie Fleming’s dismissal of Soeth’s assault on his 6 year old. Her response to the attack: “isolated incidents of parents slapping or spanking their children over their clothes ... are generally not considered physical abuse” reveals a cowardly rejection of responsibility.

Soeth had already demonstrated a pattern and practice of abuse in his work. This man hurt his son intentionally, allegedly hitting hard enough to bruise face and buttocks. Bruising is not a product of “slapping or spanking.” Fleming’s use of the creepy “over their clothes” carve-out to shield the abuse from prosecution shows how one steeped in the language of the law can manipulate it.

Prior to reading “The Soeth Files” I believed that the law enforcement system, when faced with behavior as blatantly abusive as Soeth’s, would take corrective action. Now I wonder what would compel the law enforcement protection racket to abandon efforts to keep a lying child abuser on the job? Maybe if his body cam captured him when he was kicking his dog Yahtzee. You know he did.

‘Men and Women of Honor’

Editor:

Thanks for your deep dive into professional accountability within the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) and the office of the district attorney. Admittedly, I am one of those who feel that the

In the only photo I’ve seen, the only one on file, he wears a Star Wars shirt and closed-mouth smile

The rest, having not met him, is for me to imagine but seeing him next to his mother, I see compassion

I see a child who may laugh, a child who may dream a child who groans about math, a child eating ice cream

I see innocence and mischievousness and a glowing magnificence

I see costumes, balloons and messy rooms cartoons and curiosity about cocoons

I see dolls, malls and soccer balls and bandaged knees after falls

I see trading cards and schoolyards

I see coloring books and reading nooks

I see games of all sorts played inside secret forts

I see, above all, a child worthy of dignity I see in that child a young you or young me

But only in my mind’s eye will I see the child again for Daniel Enrique Laso-Guzman will never see ten —

and that he had endangered local relations by almost killing a Native man who was simply doing his own job as a night watchman. His actions felt more like those of an occupation troop and less like those of a member of the sheriff’s office. DA Fleming’s whitewashing of the affair did little to reduce the tension.

system encourages collaboration between law enforcement, prosecutors and the courts, which can be a dangerous thing for the common person. However in the last six years or so I have gotten to know many of the HCSO deputies and will state without reservation that they are men and women of honor, who truly care about the citizens they serve.

As I work directly next to the HCSO Trinity office in Willow Creek, I was especially interested in the story about the shooting on the Martin’s Ferry Bridge. I can say with certainty that the event sent shockwaves throughout the Klamath/ Trinity area, both on and off the Yurok and Hoopa reservations. It was generally felt that Soeth’s behavior had been out of line

Personally my interactions with deputy Soeth were always positive but were limited to casual greetings. I am more acquainted with deputies Matilton and Cumbow and believe them both to be excellent officers who are a real benefit to our community. Mr. Robbins and I have met only a few times but I found him to be open, of few words, and with little patience for bullshit. He has a large and extended family that came very close to losing him in a most tragic fashion. Happily the situation was resolved without anyone dying, and has led to increased training and encouraged better interaction between the HCSO and local tribal police departments. Thanks again for a great article.

Miss Indian World Tori McConnell’s Song of Gratitude

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

On April 29, 23-year-old Tori McConnell of the Yurok Tribe and Karuk heritage, won the beaded crown of Miss Indian World 2023 at the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Born and raised in Eureka, McConnell studied neurobiology at University of California at Davis before switching to a Native American studies major and going to work for the Yurok Tribe. Not since Brooke Grant from Hoopa Valley Tribe took the crown in 2009 has someone from our neck of the redwoods held the title, and McConnell is the first ever winner from the Yurok Tribe.

“First and foremost,” McConnell says she wants to thank “my parents, my tribe and my amazing community.”

As Miss Indian World, McConnell, who has previously worked in the tribe’s food sovereignty division and now works with artist Julian Lang in its master apprentice language acquisition program run by the Advocates for Indigenous Californian Language Survival, may travel around the country and overseas to connect with other Indigenous communities. “I will serve as a cultural goodwill ambassador for all of Indian Country and Indigenous community worldwide,” she says. Her goodwill and spirit of cooperation already won her the additional title of Miss Congeniality. “That the majority of my fellow sisters voted for me that really touched my heart.”

It was at U.C. Davis McConnell first heard of the competition from professor

Jessa Rae Growing Thunder, who’d served as Miss Indian World in 2012-2013 and went on to work on behalf of her people, including through the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People movement. While she was impressed, McConnell says, “I never dreamed of doing this. … I never thought I’d be competing in it.”

The international pageant takes place during the Gathering of Nations, North America’s largest pow wow, and is open to any Indigenous woman ages 18 to 25. Contestants — 25 this year — are judged on their personal interview, essay and letters of recommendation, public speaking, traditional talents, dance and overall character, the last of which is evaluated over the course of the pow wow.

For her essay, McConnell says, “I focused on what it’s like here in Humboldt County, living in our ancestral lands,” her work with Indigenous language on a trip to Austraila and helping run the Indigenous advisory committee at U.C. Davis. She also outlined her goals of participating in ceremony here, preserving tattooing culture and serving as part of her tribe, “those who fix the world and those who balance the world by fulfilling our spiritual and physical obligations.”

Explaining her own traditional basketry — the process, the willow and bear grass materials, and its snake nose design — in Karuk won her Best Traditional Talent. “It’s really one of the core elements of our culture,” she says, adding she learned from Yurok tribal member Theresa Surgaugh. She also presented other visual artwork readers might be familiar with, including the image she created for this year’s Godwit Days, her mural at the Trinidad Rancheria Social Services Building and “Undamming,” the illustration that ran on the cover of the Journal’s March, 4, 2021 issue.

The dance competition in front of a crowd of 4,000 attendees was a bit daunting, as it’s all done “to the heartbeat of a big drum,” not to the same rhythms of Yurok and Karuk dance, which she describes as “slow and graceful movement.” The unchoreographed movement, including the elements of Brush Dancing she incorporated, is “all about the feeling.”

McConnell says she was shaking with nerves but pressed on. “I just did my best,” she says with a laugh. “That was my first time dancing at a pow wow and our type of dancing at home has a very different beat.”

McConnell also sang a traditonal style song of her own composition, “a song of gratitude and respect for the creative energies that define myself and my people.” Those energies were on full display in the form of her regalia, which was the result of labor and care from friends and family back home.

Her woven cap was made with black fern by her great-great-great-grandmother Fanny Rube Dowd, who was one of the last traditional doctors in our area. She calls her maple bark skirt, which was once a daily outfit, “the LBD of the local Indigenous people,” noting she wore it for 10 days during the White Deer Dance. Yurok Tribe member and regalia designer Shoshoni Hostler loaned her regalia and helped her design a one-of-a-kind cape drawing on other bibs and capes. “She was so gracious and kind to let me put my own ideas and flair into something that she created,” says McConnell, explaining it was “made of braided bear grass, darkened pine nuts that my dad gathered and my family and close friends processed … [as well as] abalone given to me by close friends and that I processed and polished. … I just love that.”

McConnell is eager to give credit to those who contributed to her painstakingly created regalia. Her belt was the work of Loreta Brown and Olivia Rose Williams, and she also wore Hostler’s medicine dress during the competition. Otter wraps and ties in her hair were from Rachel Sundberg of the Trinidad Rancheria, while her pine nut anklets were her mother’s handiwork.

“It took so much support from my community to suit up and do this,” says McConnnell. “It wasn’t just me and that’s what it means to be Indigenous; we share and we help each other.” l

Spinach with the unexpected richness of cheese and chocolate.

I’ll Have My Spinach with Cheese and Chocolate, Please

By Simona Carini onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

Chocolate is a vegetable,” read a sticky note placed on the refrigerator door in the kitchen of the office where I worked some years ago. I smiled when I read it — that chocolate could be consumed with other vegetables, a culinary path I was not interested in exploring at the time. Then something happened.

The inspiration for the dish I am sharing today came from three sources: fresh spinach from the farmers market; a Food & Wine recipe for spinach and goat cheese quiche; and my husband’s use of grated chocolate on cooked leafy greens and other savory dishes.

Fresh spinach (Spinacia oleracea) comes in bunches of whole plants or as mature loose leaves (it also comes as baby spinach, which is great in salads). I find spinach irresistible for its glorious greenness and how easily I can turn it into a side dish. Fresh spinach is flavorful, cooks fast and can be paired with savory flavors (like pancetta) or sweet (like raisins and toasted pine nuts).

I am not sure if children nowadays know about Popeye but the spinach-eating cartoon was popular in Italy when I was a child (as Braccio di Ferro), and his example worked wonders with my brother so that his dislike for vegetables did not include spinach. Sometimes my mother took advantage of the situation by calling other

dark leafy greens she prepared “spinach” so he would eat them.

After reading the Food & Wine quiche recipe quickly (speed is something I advise against with recipes as it can lead to an unhappy ending), I thought it called for the goat cheese to be layered between the spinach and the crust, rather than used as a topping. Closer inspection revealed my misunderstanding, but the idea of goat cheese filling kept buzzing in my mind and I had to see how it would play out between two layers of cooked spinach.

My husband uses dark chocolate (70 percent cacao), finely grated using a Microplane, to finish some of the savory dishes he cooks. (He did not like chocolate when we first met so I take full responsibility for the consequences of my influence on him.) I decided to follow his example. As I did not want any sweetener in my dish, I used 100 percent cocoa mass (unsweetened chocolate). Much as I love chocolate, I admit I was a bit skeptical, until I tasted the result of my experiment: a cheesy vegetable dish with a dessert note — a delicious surprise.

Serve this dish with a fried egg on the side to make a deconstructed crustless quiche. I like to accompany it with a salad of greens, root vegetables and fruit, which I wrote about in a previous column (“Take

Spinach with Cheese and Chocolate

Serves 1.

This recipe is for one but multiplies easily. You can cook the spinach ahead of time then assemble and bake the dish close to serving time. Berbere, a warm and fragrant Ethiopian spice mix, is available at the North Coast Co-op.

Ingredients:

6 ounces fresh spinach, clean weight

1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 ½ ounces red spring onion, diced small

2 garlic cloves, minced, or 1 tablespoon minced green garlic (white and light green parts only)

A pinch of berbere

/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

½ ounce fresh chèvre

½ ounce mild cheddar or gouda

1 teaspoon finely chopped cocoa mass (unsweetened chocolate)

Wash the spinach gently with cold water and drain, letting a little water cling to the leaves. Chop the spinach, dicing the stems finely.

Warm the olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onion and stir to coat. Turn down the heat to low and cook for 6 minutes or so, until soft, stirring often. Add the garlic and stir. After 1 minute, sprinkle in the berbere and stir.

Add the spinach and when it starts to wilt, stir, cover and cook until tender (5-6 minutes or as needed), stirring often. Sprinkle the sea salt and stir. Take off the heat and set aside until ready to finish the dish. Heat the oven to 375 F.

Crumble the fresh chèvre. Grate the other cheese.

Spread half of the cooked spinach in an even layer in a 12-ounce soufflé dish (5-inch diameter, 2-inch height). Dot with the goat cheese. Add the rest of the spinach in an even layer. Distribute the grated cheese on the spinach.

Place the dish on a cookie sheet. Bake until hot throughout (8-10 minutes). Take out of the oven and sprinkle the chocolate on the grated cheese. Broil briefly (1 minute at low setting, less if the setting is high only, no need to pre-heat) to melt the topping (without burning).

Take the cookie sheet out of the oven, transfer the dish onto a plate and serve. l

Pacific Halibut Bite Slows

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

After a hot start to the season, Pacific halibut action out of Eureka has since slowed. Last Monday’s opener was blown out but boats were able to make it back out Wednesday. And what they found were plenty of hungry halibut looking as though they haven’t seen bait in a long time. Quick limits were had by most of the small fleet, with some quality fish reported. But since, it’s been a tough scratch. According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, there seems to be plenty of fish around. “The boats were pretty spread out last week, and all were catching fish,” said Klassen. “That tells me there’s a good-sized area of fish. I think there’s a few factors that have been working against us this past week. We’ve had some big tide swings, up, some of, to 8 feet, but there’s been very little current offshore. This keeps the boats from covering much ground. Throw in a south wind and a full moon and you’ve got some finicky halibut.” Ocean conditions are now changing for the better, so look for this fishery to take off very soon.

Rockfish season opens May 15

rockfish speci es, as different seasons and depths apply to each category depending on the Groundfish Management Area and month. For a summary of the recreational groundfish fishing regulations, visit wildlife. ca.gov/Fishing/ Ocean/Regulations/Groundfish-Summary.

In the Northern Management area, which runs from the California/Oregon border to the 40°10’ N. latitude (near Cape Mendocino), the season opens at all depths May 15 and runs through Oct. 15, closed Oct. 16 through Dec. 31, for rockfish, cabezon and greenlings. The RCG bag limit will remain at 10 fish in combination of rockfish, cabezon and greenlings, with sub-bag limits of not more than four vermilion rockfish, one copper rockfish and one quillback rockfish. Take and possession of cowcod, yelloweye and bronzespotted rockfish will remain prohibited. The limit for lingcod remains at two with a minimum size of 22 inches.

Brookings rockfish update

“Halibut started off slow out of Brookings, in part because of rough weather,” said Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. “Southerly winds have limited the window to get offshore. Lingcod and rockfish have been good on calm weather days. Anchovies, and pelicans, have arrived off of Brookings. Calm weather returns this week.”

Lower Rogue

The spring king salmon run on the lower Rogue continues to be one to remember, according to Martin. “Some guides are limiting their customers before 10 a.m. Shore anglers are also catching fish plunking Spin N Glos and Brads baits. Peak season continues through May.”

jumping in Humboldt’s rivers

The Call of the Void Cli

By Dezmond Remington getout@northcoastjournal.com

Crouching on the guardrail of a bridge 60 feet above the Trinity River, 19-year-old cli jumper Nico Ponnekanti looked like a sprinter in the blocks. Except instead of going forward, he was going down, down dozens of feet, whirling in every direction over the blue of the river, and down he kept going, right up until he realized he had turned too many times to land feet-first. His entire upper body smacked the river with a sound like a bomb.

“I wish I had no balls,” Ponnekanti said. The other jumpers were concerned but they weren’t too worried.

“You didn’t cough up blood,” said jumper Silas Overhalser, “so I was like, ‘W, he’s probably OK.’”

Ponnekanti doesn’t fail often. Out of almost a dozen jumps and what looked like hundreds of flips, he only bi ed the one. Although he’s had some dicey experiences landing on his stomach from as high as 60 feet up, Ponnekanti has never been injured cli jumping. It doesn’t worry him too much. He only jumps in groups, and normally there’s barely any time to react going down anyway. He’s been practicing for years, starting in high school when he jumped for the first time, a dive of about 20 feet from a cli in Crater Lake. Now a freshman at Cal Poly Humboldt, Ponnekanti has jumped cli s all over the West Coast, starting in his home state of Washington, where he started cli jumping simply because he liked doing flips on flat ground, saw people cli jumping on YouTube and decided to give it a shot. He says his highest dive ever was 102 feet at Abiqua Falls east of Salem, Oregon, with three backflips on the way down.

“I was super scared looking down it but I just had to tell myself it was a bigger version of what I’d already jumped,” Ponnekanti said. “I was really nervous but I just kind of had to know that it was something similar to what I had already done — just like a little bit bigger, a little bit more airtime, so I had to time it in the air a little bit di erently, but it sort of felt the same and I definitely landed on my feet and it didn’t hurt too bad. Definitely doesn’t feel good, but it was a fine impact. And then I was stoked after.”

A big jump in a big group is a big deal. When jumper Ale Valenti, 18, successfully hit a flip o of a 32-foot cli deep in the Trinity River, the screaming was louder than it would’ve been if he’d failed it.

“Let’s go!”

“Ale stomped that!”

Although they’re loud, the jumpers are otherwise calm, trying to be respectful of nature and the wild spaces they depend on. Ponnekanti felt bad for ripping a plant out of the runway. They try to keep their favorite spots a secret for the same reason.

“Sharing can ruin the spot,” Overhalser said. “People will go there, get hurt, and it’ll get shut down. It’s a lot of e ort to find a place. It’s more fulfilling for you if you find it.”

The risk of getting hurt — broken bones, head and spinal injury — and even death is real, given the speed of the fall and the impact on the water and rocks below.

And there are plenty of spots to find, as cli jumping is legal in both California and Oregon, though counties and municipalities set their own rules, and the California State Parks website clearly states that “Rocks, cli s, piers, etc., are not approved for jumping and diving from.” In Humboldt County, climbing on bridge railings, cables, or other parts of the bridge “not intended for public use” is a misdemeanor.

Natural Bridges in Brookings is a great spot to jump, Ponnekanti says, with options ranging from 30 feet all the way up to 90 feet, although sea conditions outside of the calmer summer months can make it dangerous. There are lots of cli s and bridges along the Smith and Trinity rivers that he has come across, although he won’t say exactly where. The group found today’s 32-footer on Google Maps, simply by looking at the satellite image of the Trinity River and tracing it from the end, looking for spots where there might be cli s. They drove out 45 minutes in an SUV and a purple BMW that should be on a highway past more signs with bullet holes than without, on a gravel road with a foot between the tires and a ravine — based on nothing more than a few pixels on a computer screen.

The traveling is a big part of the appeal. Ponnekanti is a man who likes to go places. If he’s not spending a weekend jumping, he’s skiing. If he’s not skiing, he’s camping.

“I like to be doing different things and keeping it interesting because there’s so much to do around here,” he said. “You couldn’t do all the activities if you tried. You couldn’t go to all the places.”

But it is the jumping that appeals to him most: those few seconds of nothing but furious motion followed by either painful failure or glorious euphoria, the “stoke” they revere. The inherent recklessness is part of the pull, the nature-defying brilliance of feeling your own body inverted and dealing with intense force.

“I call it ‘The Call of the Void,’” Overhalser said. “Imagine you’re just looking over a big drop. ‘What if I jumped right now?’ I could try to ignore [the urge]. It could result in serious injury. It’s worth it if it’s fulfilling.”

Despite the adrenaline junkie stereotype, few jumpers descend without a lot of legwork. There’s the height measuring and then the downclimbing to make sure getting out of the river is even possible. Then comes the depth checking, when a jumper climbs down to the water with goggles and swims down to see how deep the water is, and finally, the rock tossing so a jumper can see where they’ll land. Cliff jumping takes time and effort; a lot of both for a moment that only lasts two seconds. Ponnekanti, Valenti and Overhalser all said they could barely even remember what the jump normally feels or looks like. According to them, it’s all animal instinct.

“I’m not cautious,” Ponnekanti said. “But I definitely know my limits and the limits of what I do. And I know that everybody makes mistakes … at least for me personally, I can’t go and just jump off of any cliff I want — it has to be very calculated.” l

Plan a getaway here in Humboldt County. Stay in Petrolia while exploring remote beaches, the beautiful Mattole Valley, and the King Range National Conservation Area. Day hike the northern portion of the Lost Coast Trail, visit nearby beaches, spend time at the river, go birdwatching, or exploring. Location is close to beaches, trails, and the river. This beautiful 1,900 sq. ft. home sleeps six, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a gourmet kitchen and pantry. The house is perfect for families or a romantic stay.

Camping in Hell

No Exit at NCRT

By Collin Yeo frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

Jean Paul Sartre was known for a great many things, chief among them is likely the creation of a quote as misunderstood as Friedrich Nietzsche’s line about God being dead. Like that out of context, nihilistic chunklet, “Hell is other people” has probably been written on backpacks and high school walls by disaffected youth for as long as I’ve been alive. But the message itself has no real meaning outside of the work in which the author gave it life. That work, the play No Exit, is being staged by the North Coast Repertory Theatre, where I caught its second night.

Quick overview: No Exit means just that; the three central characters are in Hell, or at least something like it, a stylized salon where escape isn’t happening. They are chaperoned there by the nameless Valet. They are Garcin, a middle-aged man, an intellectual and a coward, a lascivious and alpha lesbian named Inez, and Estelle, a young blonde beauty, nearly as vain as she is pretty. They are all aware of their own recent deaths but, as the action plays out over the following 90 minutes, uninterrupted by an intermission, they begin their damnation without the introspection required to be honest about the real nature of their circumstance. That includes an unrequited love-triangle, a struggle session of contrition and defiance, and a character study of what regular people do under pressure, in the impossible-to-comprehend circumstances of eternal bondage.

After first encountering it as a teenager, I have seen a few iterations over the years. It’s a minimalist piece that, like Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, gathers much of its strength from what the production company does within the spartan and translucent margins of its artistic boundaries. It’s a philosophical work, not a lush, visual world-builder. With that in mind, I settled down for the action. The stage design at NCRT is simple and effective, with a David Lynchian checkerboard floor, bright blue, almost neon borders on the entranceway door of the Valet’s portal, and a simple tasseled bell-pull, largely non-operational, granting a tiny degree of elegance to an otherwise cold room.

There are two couches and a chair, a small table and lamp, and the sense of captive infinity curling like dry ice mist across the design.

Stage Manager Holly Roberts plays it the straightest as a stand-in for the Valet. Her comportment is perfect, a study in the professional-ese of absurd bureaucracy. I’m not going to lie, it took me a minute to find the right way to appreciate the rest of the actors’ portrayals, settling on an almost cartoonish style of camp, which largely worked. Liz Whittemore’s Inez is loud and commanding, a sort of pissedoff, caged lion pacing around and demanding deference. The blonde beauty Estelle, is played by Bella Rose as near equal parts innocent and preening, a hot house flower turning up its petals to an artificial lamp at the first sign of attention. The sole male Garcin, the stand-in for the ineffectual and self-aggrandizing, soft-skinned, idealistic leftist that was so familiar to Sartre, is pathetic. He’s played by Andrew Hempstead in a way that underscores the true boundaries of his bravery and betrays the buffoonery contained in the gulf between Garcin’s massive self-regard and genuine cowardice. Hempstead plays Garcin like an erotic clown — erotic in the Platonic sense of being intellectually driven, and clownish in the tragic sense of a lost fool. While they don’t always hit, for the most part, these characters work well and I suspect the performances will jell even further toward brilliance as the actors settle into the grooves of the production. They seem well attended to by the choices of the director Amelia Resendez and I can only see this getting better. You should find the time and go see for yourself.

To return to the quote uttered by Garcin toward the end of the play, that “Hell is other people,” without tipping my hand and giving away the arc of the play’s narrative, the quote isn’t referring to the horror of being trapped with other humans. Nor is it an anti-social call to arms to reject the collective aspects of society and embrace the impossible frontier dream of the “solo man” that has rotted out the imaginations of countless Americans who were mesmerized by the empty mythology of libertarianism. No, what “Hell is other

people” means is that, when confronted by the impressions that others have of us, there will be an inevitable and often violent collision with the illusion of our own self-regard. Who we think we are will be tested and, in fact, is tested daily, by the impressions of other beings who do not live under the spell of our subjective delusions. This collision is a crucible that can crumble the prison cage of solipsism we erect around ourselves in the interest of self-promotion and self-preservation. The violence created by the contradictions between our own image of self and how others perceive us might be the only force that can enable us to escape damnation, to open the very doors of Hell. We must embrace now, not later, a scrupulous existence of examination that balances our desires with the commitments we have to each other.

Poly Promenade

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Living year-round in a college town is weird and it seems living in a Cal Poly town is only going to be weirder. Assuming I will ever be able to afford to permanently settle here, my years will always be divided by the academic calendar, already askew from nature, beginning as it does, in autumn. I’m always on the border of the rotating community, kind of checked out, noting the waxing and waning of the student population by small signs in the traffic, like parking availability and some less desirable outof-town driving habits. This weekend is going to host the great spectator’s sport of watching people discover in real time which of Arcata’s streets are in fact, one way. I’m usually amused and sanguine about the behaviors of our temporary population, and I understand that the students and their families are every bit as necessary to the economic survival of the community as the tourists were to my former home of New Orleans. I don’t much relish people speeding through the marsh and bumping music when I am out birdwatching, but as a local, there are still some spots far enough out there to be shrouded in mystery to the casuals. Anyway, I’m not the person to defend the American class system of higher education, and I tend to look at the institution as one of the prime support beams of our laughably stupid and empty meritocracy. However, I do recognize that for some, a college degree is an achievement invested with meaning, and I salute those of you who are going to walk the line, shake the hand, and grab the paper this weekend. My only advice, as you navigate the professional world ahead of you, comes from the title of a song by one of my favorite Canadian bands, Destroyer: “Don’t Become the Thing You Hated.” Good luck out there.

Thursday

The Reverend Horton Heat is an institution among fans of “psychobilly” music, which is a twangy mix of country,

punk rock and rockabilly. For nearly 40 years, the Dallas-based trio has been tearing up stages around the world, led by guitarist Jim Heath, whose stage name gives the band its evocative, backwoods revival-preacher vibe. Tonight at 8 p.m. you can catch the boys at Humbrews, where they will be teaming up with similarly minded quartet The Delta Bombers from Las Vegas ($25).

Friday

Sonora, Mexico’s Sub Pop Records-signed act Margaritas Podridas is a young group of mostly female musicians who have dipped deep into the well of a genre of early-’90s music called shoegaze. With a heavily treated and distorted guitar tone and introspective, sighing vocals, this group has mastered all the finer points of the form. Tonight they share the stage at the Miniplex with Biblioteka from Seattle, a band with a similar vibe that appears to have been very influenced by the alt-sounds from that decade (an era I only sort of remember and I am almost certain none of the group’s members were alive to experience firsthand) at 9 p.m. ($15).

Saturday

Well, it’s graduation day at Cal Poly Humboldt and while a lot of people are unhappy with the school’s administrators these days (what else is new?), we can still support the students. Here are three DJ-curated events to choose from to celebrate the milestone.

First up at 6 p.m., the Blue Lake Roller Rink is hosting a Vinyl Spin and Skate featuring The Observatory ($10). When that finishes up at 9 p.m., there are two Arcata destinations, Humbrews and the Miniplex, where you will find dancing tunes. At the former venue, Soul Party will be going down with the usual suspects for $10 at the door, and at the latter, an inclusive, queer-friendly jamboree by Trinidaddies will feature DJs Dacin, Chef Trevor and Trout Daddies ($5 before 9:30 p.m., $10 after).

Sunday, Mother’s Day

Tokyo’s prog/punk mutant Green Milk from Planet Orange returns to the Miniplex tonight at 9 p.m. to entertain all you mothers and mother funkers out there. The group got a pretty good reception last time it rolled through town, if memory serves, so if you want to get in on it, consider nabbing an early bird ticket for $15. If you’d prefer to roll the dice on the night of, the price goes up by $5.

Monday

RampArt Skatepark is having an evening of death metal tonight, starting at 8 p.m. The line-up reads like a laundry list of things found in a severe car accident, with Laceration from the North Bay Area, Oakland’s Wretched Stench and local folks Bloodspire. An even $10 gives you access to this all-ages show.

Tuesday

If you have ever been curious about the viability of prop comedy in the local scene, tonight is a good night to head over to Savage Henry Comedy Club, where you will discover Mad Props, a show dedicated to giving random items to various comedians and letting them improvise it out. The host and jokers are still TBA, so you can come in with literally

zero expectations or prejudices at 9 p.m. ($5).

Wednesday

Movie night! Here are two options, spanning across a wide area, where you will find movies in large venues at 6 p.m. For the free family-friendly option, the Scotia Lodge presents Toy Story, Pixar’s beloved tale from 1995 about … even if you haven’t absorbed the meaning through cultural osmosis, it’s all in the title.

Meanwhile, over at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, The Road Warrior fills the big screen with its predictions of an apocalyptic future. I suspect our actual coming apocalypse will have fewer cool costumes, and rather than fighting in improvised war vehicles over tankers of gasoline, we will be driving EVs and hybrids and fighting over a shrinking, poisoned water supply. But there will still be plenty of mass death and violence, so there is that. Five bucks gets you in the door, $9 gets you in and lets you leave with a cool poster to help remember the good times when the reckoning comes. l

Chinese Again in Humboldt, Part One

Storm clouds gather in summer of 1906

By Alex Service newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

In 1906, 20 years had passed since the majority of Humboldt’s Chinese residents were driven out of the county. The accidental death in 1885 of a Eureka city council member, caught in the crossfire in a shootout between two Chinese men at Eureka’s Fourth and E streets, was seized on by anti-Chinese activists as an excuse to enforce their rallying cry of “The Chinese must go.” Within two days, Eureka’s 300-plus Chinese residents had been forced onto steamships bound for San Francisco, leaving their homes and businesses behind. The next year, most other towns in Humboldt County followed Eureka’s example. The unwritten law forbidding Chinese settlement in Humboldt would be enforced for more than half a century.

A 1904 publication by the county chamber of commerce, the Humboldt County Souvenir, declared, “One fact makes Humboldt unique among the counties of California, and indeed, on the Pacific Coast — we have no Chinese.” This claim ignored the fact that the 1900 U.S. Census showed five Chinese men living in Klamath and Orleans, and the 1910 census would show six. At least three of these men — Charley Moon, Wong Bow and John Cook — were married to Indigenous women. The Humboldt County school census of 1904, the same year that the Humboldt County Souvenir was published, showed six schoolage children of Chinese ancestry living in Northern Humboldt.

In the late 1880s, Ferndale-area business interests had conflicted with the county’s anti-Chinese activists over the issue of whether a San Francisco-based packing company could employ Chinese workers in a salmon cannery at the mouth of the Eel River. The cannery closed in 1890, partly due to this conflict.

On Jan. 31, 1905, The Ferndale Enterprise wrote of the Eel River king salmon: “For many years they were canned on this river at a profit and the price paid fishermen was much better then than now.” This article stated, “Since the closing down of the old

cannery … fishermen can hope for but little.” The Enterprise recommended, “What is needed is a cannery on Eel River and here is an opportunity for someone with capital to invest in a business that will give in return a fair profit for the outlay.”

The opportunity was seized by the Starbuck-Tallant packing company of Astoria, Oregon. Members of the Tallant family had experience with the Eel River fishing industry; Nathaniel Tallant had been president of the San Francisco firm involved in the 1880s Eel River Cannery controversy. Throughout 1905, the newly-formed Ferndale Chamber of Commerce worked closely with the Starbuck-Tallant Co. to build a cold storage plant for salmon at Port Kenyon, about 2 miles from Ferndale. After the October-December salmon season ended, The Enterprise reported Jan. 12, 1906, “The establishment of the Port Kenyon Cold Storage plant has demonstrated to the fishermen on lower Eel River that a good price can be obtained for their fish the season through.”

Following this success, the Starbuck-Tallant Co. contemplated building a new cannery. The Ferndale Enterprise reported on June 19, 1906, “There seems to be a fair chance of a cannery being established at Port Kenyon this fall to be run in conjunction with the cold storage plant there.”

As The Enterprise explained, the cannery would “handle the smaller salmon that cannot be used in any way by the cold storage plant. Should the cannery be established it will fully double the money received from the fishing industry on Eel River.”

On June 22, 1906, The Enterprise reported:

A special meeting of the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce was called last Monday evening to consider the contents of a telegram received that day from W. E. Tallant of Astoria, a member of the Port Kenyon Cold Storage Co. Mr. Tallant wired to ask for information concerning the

outlook for a cannery at Port Kenyon, the same to be operated by Chinese labor, without which, it is claimed to have been demonstrated, such a plant cannot be successfully conducted.

As The Enterprise noted, the chamber of commerce members considered this question in “a discussion of some length.” At last, chamber members adopted a resolution stating, “There will be no objection emanating from this body for said cannery to be so conducted, providing the following conditions are complied with.” Those conditions were:

1st —That such labor shall be used in the canning of fish only.

2nd —That party or parties so conducting said cannery assure our people that said Chinese laborers shall come direct to Port Kenyon on or about the beginning of the fishing season, namely, October 16th of each year, and remaining while the cannery is being conducted during each fishing season only, and at the expiration of each season the Chinese to be sent out of Humboldt County direct from Port Kenyon.

3rd —That the Chinese be not permitted at any time during their stay, to leave the vicinity of the cannery in Port Kenyon.

For the businessmen from Astoria, it made perfect sense to employ Chinese workers in the new cannery. Clatsop County, Oregon, had a very different history with Chinese residents than did

Humboldt County. As of the 1880 U.S. census, there had been only 243 Chinese people living in Humboldt County, out of a total population of 15,512. In Clatsop County, by contrast, the Chinese residents in 1880 numbered 2,317, with the county’s total population being only 7,222. Chinese people in Astoria were 30 percent of the town’s population in 1880. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as described in a 1973 retrospective published by The Daily Astorian, Astoria was “the salmon cannery capital of the United States, if not of the world.” The vast majority of the workforce in those canneries was Chinese.

Astoria was not immune to the anti-Chinese movement that was so powerful in the western United States in the 1870s and ’80s. In February of 1886 — the same month when Ferndale people resolved in a town meeting to follow Eureka’s lead and expel Ferndale’s Chinese residents — the owners of 19 Astorian salmon canneries signed an agreement with the anti-Chinese Knights of Labor organization promising not to employ Chinese workers after the 1886 canning season. It seems, however, the cannery owners signed this agreement to get the labor activists off their backs rather than because they intended to honor it. In 1887 and onward, the owners ignored the agreement (despite it having been published in the Astorian) and continued to run their canneries with Chinese workers.

In that summer of 1906, the new cannery for Eel River salmon was constructed at Port Kenyon. But while Ferndale people might see employing Chinese cannery laborers as making good economic sense, and the Astorians saw it as business as usual, news of the chamber’s resolution caused

Future Eureka Mayor H. L. Ricks (center, wearing a bowler hat) chaired the 1906 “Committee of Fifteen,” which was put in charge of arrangements for deporting the 23 Chinese workers from Humboldt County, rides with Chinese workers to “Gunther’s Island” where they were to await a steamship to take them to Astoria.

outrage elsewhere in Humboldt County.

On June 23, The Daily Humboldt Times of Eureka reported on the Ferndale chamber’s resolution. A June 26 Times article headlined “Opposed to the Chinese” reported that the secretary of the Federated Trades Council, which met in Eureka, had been “instructed to address a communication to the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce strongly protesting against the Chamber’s action.” At another Federated Trades Council meeting later in the summer, members expressed their opinion that “Humboldt County can get along without the Chinamen.” The Times reported on July 20 that the union of Blue Lake Woodsmen Local No. 1, “which has a membership of nearly 400 … are unanimously opposed to the introduction of Chinese labor in Humboldt County for any purpose whatever.” The members of Pepperwood’s Woodsmen No. 6, according to a July 26 Times article, had formed a committee “at work against the proposed importation of Chinese at Port Kenyon.”

These ominous rumblings apparently had little impact on the new cannery’s directors and preparations went ahead as planned. On Sept. 28, The Enterprise reported, “One hundred and fifty tons of

machinery arrived at Port Kenyon Tuesday for use in the salmon cannery that is now being rushed to completion. Contractors Steeves & Flowers and their assistants are now erecting the addition.”

On Saturday, Sept. 29, the steamer Roanoke from Portland via Astoria arrived in harbor at Eureka. Its passengers included several members of the Tallant family and a cannery workforce comprising 23 Chinese men, four Japanese men, and six young white women, several of whom were Russian. The Times reported in its Sept. 30 “Ocean and Waterfront” section that “The vessel had good weather down the coast and the passengers enjoyed the trip.” However, that trip was to provide the last peaceful moments that the cannery’s management and workforce would enjoy for many days to come.

Next week, the second installment of this three-part series will examine the backlash against “the Chinese return to Humboldt.” ●

Margaret and Goliath

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

It should be abundantly clear I don’t participate much in the cultural conversation, at least not in any meaningful, modern way. The Editor has gone so far as to say I’m too much a recluse to qualify as an internet troll. Yet, rumblings and fragments of messages still filter through the roof of my bunker occasionally, among them a great many teary retweets and hand-wringing echoes expressing a wave of woe among the ever-more taciturn Marvel faithful. Whatever Deathstar phase the MCU entered recently has apparently been the source of great rancor and concern. This, of course, is really of no concern to me, beyond the sadistic thrill I get from fan-bros being made sad because their favorite trillion-dollar confection isn’t macho enough anymore; I’m gleefully paraphrasing and misrepresenting, one will note.

It’s difficult to imagine the nearly immeasurable glut of Marvel “content” to which we’ve been exposed — read: subjected — in the last 15 (!) years does not play a critical role in the recent backlash (or simple cooling of ardor) the studio experienced on the release of Eternals or Thor: Love and Thunder; how much is too much, after all? But the more insidious, equally likely force at play concerns the expanding of the MCU’s inclusiveness in its themes and its creatives. Seems beyond coincidence that, as states continue to dehumanize female humans, block access to books and criminalize drag performance, movies that embrace or even just include those people and subjects would be met with a lukewarm response from the self-destructive, neo-fascist, violence-worshiping bulk of their intended audience. Culture, meet culture; I’ll be outside.

Admittedly, this is all pearl clutching of its own stripe; I am nothing if not guilty of that. In my precarious defense, though, I’ve been complaining about the Marvel juggernaut for too long to remember, about its dour tone and antiseptic uniformity of aesthetic. What I perhaps failed to anticipate was the broad-based passion/ mania with which the movies were being consumed, that a mass conversion event was taking place, whereby a wholesale investment in artistic monoculture was

reshaping not only the cinematic distribution landscape but also the fundamental tenets of collective critical thinking. There was, it must be said, also that recent and ongoing plague that made a great many of us literally but admittedly insane, perhaps permanently.

More to the point, if there is one, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 just opened and the hopes of the fandom seem to hang heavy upon it. They need it to be a return to form, a success to rival … name almost any Marvel movie, because without that … shudder to think. I haven’t seen the thing and I may or may not. But the departure it represents interests me, due to both my aforementioned glee regarding the MCU mob and the fact that it will purportedly be, after a lot of “will they or won’t they” and canceling and all of that, writer/director/producer James Gunn’s last movie for Marvel before he heads off of to correct course for DC Comics own moribund movie branch. Although the other Guardians movies are still subject to the homogenization and gloom that troubles the MCU, Gunn was still able to inject some of his hair-metal, Troma self into the mix, lending them a space-trash kookiness into which Marvel would have been smart to lean (obviously I’m in the minority with that opinion). Further, I became an unlikely, almost unwitting fan of his Peacemaker series, so I guess I’m hopeful that in his new role, he’ll be able fiddle as Rome burns, but, you know, in a good way.

We’ve so far followed a long, contrarian path: discussing a movie I haven’t seen in light of greater cultural maladies, but I suppose that’s what we (read: I) do around here. And to bring it home, I’ll make a few remarks about the movie I did see, perhaps the precise opposite and, depending on temperament, perfect antidote to matters of Marvel and the world at large.

ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET arrives as part of a shockingly late-coming Judy Blume revival (the documentary Judy Blume Forever also debuted recently) and feels like a forceful, if gentle and slightly silly, statement of purpose to a civilization bent on erasure and myopia.

I dipped into the Blume canon as a kid but never made it to Are You There God? Still, it was (and remains) very much a part of the zeitgeist, a near-universal reference point and shorthand for girls growing up. It’s a simple story about Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) moving from New York City to the suburbs of New Jersey with her parents (Rachel McAdams and Benny Safdie) in 1970. The tricky thing about this material, though, at least in terms of adapting it for the screen, is that, for one thing, the weight of Hollywood doesn’t get thrown behind these things anymore. For another, it is exceedingly difficult to cast and then direct young actors to performances with the level of emotional variability and fullness innate to pre-teens in the real world. Writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig, under the aegis of the legendary James L. Brooks, has done just that, though and, as such, made a movie that transcends the easy dismissal to which young adult adaptations are frequently subjected. Not a lot happens in the course of the movie (measured by normal plot-point requirements) but for 12-year-old Margaret, everything is happening. And without over-dramatizing the mundane, gigantic events of her life, Fremon Craig recreates the delicious, impossible feeling of growing up, of trying and failing to figure things out, that is, regardless of circumstance, universal. Are You There God? refuses to talk down to its subject or its audience and it feels like a quietly powerful act of protest. PG13. 105M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. l

John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

Table Bluff Cemetery

By Barry Evans fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

Seeing today’s sparse scattering of a few homes and farm buildings, Table Bluff’s two cemeteries — one Catholic, one “Other” — might seem like overkill. But the Table Bluff community was once a going concern, a lively stage and wagon stop atop the ridge for which it’s named. Raluaka, its Wiyot name, is a gnarly mélange of sand, gravel and clay humped up over the millennia by the Pacific tectonic plate into an anticline, or ridge, impeding travel between the Eel River Valley and south Humboldt Bay. It’s still in motion, as anyone who’s lived through a Humboldt quake can attest. (That’s basically everyone reading this.)

Before 1884, when the Eureka and Eel River Railroad avoided the ridge entirely by going through it (via the ¼-mile-long Loleta tunnel) the village of Table Bluff included stores, inns, blacksmith shops, a church and a schoolhouse. According to Phil Nunnamaker, writing in the Humboldt Standard in 1938 (reprinted in Jerry Rohde’s Both Sides of the Bluff), “It was not uncommon for 150 to 200 four- and six-horse teams to pass through Table Bluff daily on their way to … Humboldt Bay. Their loads consisted of wood from Blocksburg and Bridgeville, grain, potatoes, peas, beans … from Hydesville, Rohnerville, Ferndale, and the Rio Dell country.” The railroad pretty much killed off the community, and any remaining life was drained out of it when the Redwood Highway was completed in 1924.

Back to the cemetery — the Other one, once 10 minutes’ walk from the Catholic cemetery before U.S. Highway 101 intervened in 1962. The photograph shows the small marble monument erected to Luella Perrott, who died from a pistol shot through the heart on June 14, 1891, five days after her 20th birthday. That we know. Less clear is whether her death was murder or suicide. She’d been having an affair with Samuel Jackson, a Native American hired hand who worked on the Perrott ranch in Table Bluff. While Luella’s death was initially deemed suicide,

Jackson was subsequently tried for her murder. He was held a prisoner in Eureka for three months while the court heard the evidence. Apparently, determining his innocence or guilt wasn’t easy: The jury’s first vote came in 7-5 for acquittal. Seven (!) votes later, the jury unanimously found him not guilty.

Interviewed by reporter George Ringwald (“A Legacy of Greed,” Sept. 30, 1999) more than 100 years later, Bill Perrott, great-grandson of Luella’s mother, Sarah Jane Perrott, begged to differ. “It looked like [Jackson] couldn’t have her, and so nobody else would, he shot and killed her. Sarah Jane wouldn’t let them lynch him, and so it went to trial.” I’m persuaded (as is historian Rohde) that her death was suicide, given the poignant words on her monument: “A Soul by nature pitched to [sic] high/By fortune pitched to low.” Luella isn’t the only interesting person buried there. Her elder sister Laura Perrott Mahan is a personal hero of mine for her role in saving the Bull Creek and Dyerville Flat redwoods — perhaps the finest stand of redwoods remaining on the planet — from being harvested by the Pacific Lumber Co. (“Heroes of the Redwoods, Part 2,” Feb. 2, 2023). A couple of gravesites away lies the awful Seth Kinman, Indian killer, grizzly killer, elk killer — “He pretty much killed anything that moved,” according to another local historian. He also, in his old age, owned the Table Bluff Hotel. You can still see the name painted on the side of one of the few original buildings remaining there. l

Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) is a taphophile, aka tombstone tourist.

To get to the (non-Catholic) Table Bluff cemetery, take the Loleta exit off U.S. Highway 101, head east on Loleta Drive for ¼ mile to a T-junction with Singley Hill Road. Turn left and the cemetery’s a mile up on your right.

On April 26th Richard William Evans transitioned to the next realm with love, song, poetry, and light, surrounded by friends.

Richard was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Starting young, he was always an adventurous music and art enthusiast. His first musical adventure was playing the bugle in The Knights of Pythias Drum and Bugle Corps (see photo). This early memory of his music reaching out and touching people brought joy to him even close to his departure from this life. Later in life he took up the flute.

At 18 in Greenwich Village, New York City, Richard plowed the fertile fields of expression there, assisting in editing the Village Voice Newspaper. At age 21 he attended the 1963 March on Washington and witnessed the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., a touchstone event for him. In 1966 Richard moved to Paris, France where his calling in art grew. That career spanned pen and ink, glass, and paint. This passion and profession sustained Richard throughout his life.

Stateside in 1967, Richard immersed himself in the radical communal life of the Haight-Ashbury. Throughout his life he was amazed and inspired by the flowering of creativity and taboo-busting antics of that time and place. He ventured to Humboldt County in 1971, getting an intoxicating taste of the Back to the Land Movement.

Back in San Francisco, in 1979, Richard was a founding member of the Stellar Arts Collective. This group of designers, glass artists, and activists obtained a grant from the State of California to construct a one-of-a-kind glass work as an entry to a large State building in The City. The epic stained glass doors, ceiling, and chandelier of the lobby, were completed in 1980. This was Richard’s major opus as an

artist, capturing the essence of his multi-faceted life, spirit, and craft. As a gay man, this creation was an expression of the light and love he projected throughout his life. Ironically, the glass work was destroyed on September 30, 1991, during the AB101 Riots, in protest of Governor Pete Wilson’s veto of a gay rights bill (Assembly Bill 101). Emblematic of his compassionate and forgiving nature, Richard felt no bitterness, only a sense of loss of a great work of art.

In this era of his life he joined The Billy Club, a group of gay men dedicated to the rural life style, healing and compassion. Life-long bonds were formed and Billy members were at his side when he passed, singing a traditional Billy Heart Circle song of love.

He met his life partner Richard Beyer in 1977 and returned to Humboldt County in the 1980s. They built a house on the Zenia Bluffs in a style that Richard aptly described as “intimate grandeur,” a description that well describes his entire life path. A gifted teacher, and personal growth facilitator, Richard Beyer passed from complications from AIDS in 1995.

Richard Evans was dedicated to building community wherever he lived. In Southern Humboldt, he was active in Redwood AIDS Information Network and Service (RAINS), serving multiple terms as board president. A stalwart supporter of KMUD radio, he built the studio booth glass windows, among other duties, including Board service. Radio audiences may remember him as the voice of “Condy the Condom” from the 1998 “Straight Talk About AIDS” public service series. He was a master of the twinkling eye.

After moving to Eureka in 2006, he served on the Board of Directors of Redwood Community Action Agency (RCAA) and was a catalyst for the fruitful partnership between RCAA and the Westside Community Improvement Association, and the creation of Jefferson Park and Community Center, one hallmark among many of his legacy on the North Coast. Bringing his depth of experience and critical eye to the written word, he contributed regularly to the Art Beat column in the North Coast Journal.

Throughout his long and storied life, he transcended many of the social stereotypes imposed upon us, and modeled behaviors that reinforced acceptance, inclusion and tolerance. Still, with humor, he suffered no fools.

On the forefront to the end, Richard would want all to know that his was a medically assisted death. He was very grateful to the physicians and caring team who supported him in this decision.

A Celebration of Art in Richard’s honor will be held September 30th at Skyhorse, 216 3rd Street at 5 pm, Eureka. Stay tuned for updates as the date approaches.

Richard remained his funny, cheerful and optimistic self to the end. One of Richard’s signature expressions exemplifies his rich life and graceful passing: “FABULOUS!” Say it again: “FABULOUS!”
