Fourth District Supervisor Editor: I owned an insurance agency for almost 40 years in Eureka and had decades of contact with Mike Newman because he is in the insurance business. I heard nothing but praise for Mike from his clients and other insurance agents. I trust him to be our Supervisor! He will balance environmental concerns, push for living wages and be business friendly.

Many years ago, my client was willing to construct a building in Eureka similar to the one that has the Bayfront Restaurant and an ice cream shop with nice apartments above at First and F streets. People who don’t want to see any change fought him so much. I heard he spent $100,000 just trying to get plans approved before he finally gave up.

Mike Newman as Fourth District Supervisor will improve our area for the good of all.

Paul Nicholson, Bayside Editor: I think things happen around here based on “who you know.” I read North Coast Journal from a stand in Old Town, and I’ve never written you about things I care about. It took years — I’m not easy, but Natalie Arroyo earns trust.

Humboldt is our home. We need an honorable Fourth District supervisor who builds inclusive community through public processes.

Natalie uses leadership skills I expect from veterans, professionalism I want from elected officials, and the planning experience to do right by our growing community. She makes processes accessible to average people; when I have questions, she finds answers.

I appreciate the dignity Natalie brings to public service because I don’t care for rodeo-as-politics approach to civic engagement.

Choosing Natalie on June 7 is about building the community we want.

Dana Maher, Eureka Editor: Natalie Arroyo is a bright light. You can see it in her eyes, in her work and the leadership she provides.

She stands on her foundation with the U.S. Coast Guard, AmeriCorps, work in fisheries and as a teacher. Natalie has a huge history of taking action steps to build a healthy community.

She serves on Humboldt Transit and Waste Boards, and the Eureka City Council.

And she is not afraid of getting her hands dirty. She plants trees with Keep Eureka Beautiful and cleans up trash. She has vision and follows through.

Because of her hard work, experience and constructive relationships, she has the support of countless organizations, publications, labor, health care, small and big business, deep and wide into the community.

Choose Natalie Arroyo for county supervisor.

Julie Fulkerson, Eureka

Editor: County election ballots arrive this week, and for undecided voters, here’s a short list of qualifications for our best choice for District Four Board of Supervisors: The ideal candidate is someone who knows the job is one of service; has a willingness to examine the issues and listen to others; someone who is honest and pragmatic; one who brings hope and realistic insights into our community’s problems and needs, and it helps if one is experienced in public and community service.

Does this list set the bar high? Yes! Is there anyone who can meet and exceed these standards? Yes! Natalie Arroyo walks the talk on all these qualifications, and she has the service record to prove it. A vote for Natalie Arroyo is a vote for the very best choice for District Four Board of Supervisors. Vote for Natalie Arroyo.

Sheila Evans, Eureka Editor: A big disclaimer: I am Natalie’s mom, so many readers might reject my views out of hand as biased. However, my insights from observing Natalie over all of her 38 years have some depth. I am voting for Natalie because she is an outstanding consensus-builder and peacemaker who works very hard and gets things done. I could list many incidents from her life that demonstrate this, but not in under 150 words!

She is extremely intelligent, has built a background of broad and useful experience and has forged connections that are crucial in serving this community, as evidenced by her many, many endorsements. I hope the residents of District Four don’t miss this opportunity to have Natalie representing them on the board of supervisors!

Nancy Arroyo, Eureka Editor: I urge everyone to vote for Natalie Arroyo for Fourth District supervisor in the primary election. Her extensive education and experience in community planning make her supremely qualified to guide the county’s development.

Her eight years of hard work on the Eureka City Council demonstrate her commitment to making Humboldt county a better place for all of us. Congressman Jared Huffman, the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee and the Times-Standard have all endorsed her, and she is obviously the best choice for the job.

Bruce Will, Hydesville Editor: Natalie Arroyo has my enthusiastic support in the upcoming election.

Natalie is smart, dedicated and listens as

well as anyone I have met.

She is not an ideologue — we don’t need ideology in local government; we need problem-solvers and practical innovators like Natalie Arroyo.

Natalie has a wealth of local experience solving problems, listening to people and implementing wise and caring decisions that are beneficial to all. We are fortunate to be able to choose such a fine candidate for county supervisor. Please vote for Natalie Arroyo on June 7.

Michael Furniss, Arcata

Fifth District Supervisor Editor: I’ll be voting for Steve Madrone on June 7.

His service to the county and its people goes far beyond the four years he’s served on the board of supervisors. I’ve known him since our Boy Scout years and over the decades seen him become a key driving force for everything good for our county, from the Hammond Trail and watershed health to sensible community planning and and public safety.

He brings much needed balance and intelligence to the board, while also being respectful (and responsive) to a multitude of viewpoints.

Greg Jaso, McKinleyville Editor: I met Supervisor Steve Madrone in 2002 and since then, Steve has consistently been an asset to our community, always finding creative solutions to our complicated issues on the North Coast.

He played a pivotal role in developing the Hammond Coastal Trail, where many of us taught our kids how to ride a bike. Steve picked up several tons of trash around our community during the PacOut Green Team Community Clean ups, where he has volunteered his time on the weekends for a decade.

Steve has been an asset to the fishermen, tribes and local ecosystems by bringing in millions of dollars for restoration during his tenure at RCAA, the Mattole Salmon Group and as Humboldt County supervisor, including the largest dam removal project in the world on the Klamath River.

Steve’s record has proven that he has the vision, experience and local relationships to represent our community and I encourage you to vote Madrone!

Bob Pagliuco, McKinleyville Editor: After watching the KMUD forum on candidacy for Humboldt County supervisor, the choice is clear for Steve Madrone to continue his work on the board. Madrone is far the superior in terms of intellect and vision. But even more compelling is his practical knowledge, expertise and experience in watershed management, fisheries and community infrastructure.

He has demonstrated the ability to listen

constructively to all sides and act decisively for the betterment of the county, a fact that is verified by the enthusiastic endorsement of across-the-board political and social groups.

His principled and dedicated devotion to the people of Humboldt County demands a vote to keep him on the job.

Patty Harvey, Willow Creek Editor: Steve Madrone has been very busy in his first term as Fifth District supervisor. He works not only for the Fifth District, but is very aware of the bigger picture for Humboldt County. He knows the actions we take now are critical in the shaping our future. We need Steve Madrone to continue working for us.

Sam King, McKinleyville Editor: We support Steve Madrone for Fifth District supervisor. We first met him in the ‘70s when the Emerald Creek Committee was working to expand Redwood National Park. Whether you agreed with the expansion or not, we are all benefitting from the tourist dollars our world-famous redwoods bring.

The kind of work that Steve has done and will continue to do is sound, environmentally-friendly progress. He has lived in Trinidad for decades and will surely be here when we need him to help solve the problems that face any growing region.

Larry Ulrich, Trinidad Editor: During my career as a hydrologic technician with Six Rivers National Forest, I had the opportunity to work extensively with Steve Madrone and his colleagues at Redwood Community Action Agency. A wide array of projects were undertaken to improve recreation opportunities and to benefit fish, wildlife and plant communities. Steve set a fine example for knowledge, flexibility, innovation and ability to convey a sense of ownership, stewardship and enthusiasm for each project to his work crews.

When I supported Madrone four years ago, I knew that these attributes would serve him well as Fifth District supervisor. His attention to detail and commitment to bridge-building have been hallmarks of his first term.

Steve’s tenacity will ensure that projects that include the Great Redwood Trail will be brought to fruition. Vote to re-elect Madrone!

Tom Leskiw, McKinleyville

ing law school, taking a job in the DA’s office, growing and advancing up the ranks.

She has participated in and prosecuted some of the more sensitive and difficult cases to pass through our court system with grace.

During my time in the DA’s office, anytime I came to her needing something for my position, or just a question, she always took the time to help. It is her professionalism, experience and leadership abilities that make her the right choice, so please join me and cast your vote for Stacey Eads!

Tedd Childs, Arcata Editor: Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to a presentation by Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Stacey Eads on the topic and issues related to human trafficking and child abuse in Humboldt County. ADA Eads is the lead prosecutor and oversees the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Crimes Prosecution Team. It was apparent, as ADA Eads presented the facts and gave examples of real-life cases of such horrific crimes against children in Humboldt County, that her passion and commitment to achieving justice for the young victims in these cases, while providing a safe and supportive

environment for them, was her top priority.

The outcome of this election may put current priorities in jeopardy. If you agree that our children deserve the attention, compassion and resources dedicated through the District Attorney’s Office, vote for ADA Stacey Eads as our next district attorney.

Melinda Ciarabellini, Eureka Editor: It is clear, that our assistant district attorney, Stacey Eads, is the candidate with the integrity to be our next district Attorney. I had the privilege of having worked with Stacey at the District Attorney’s Office for 13 years, and she has the experience and knowledge to lead the office. Stacey has been with the District Attorney’s Office for over 20 years and has tried some of the most heinous of crimes against children.

As assistant district attorney, Stacey handles administrative duties while personally handling her own case load. She is the only candidate who has supervisory experience in the largest law office in Humboldt County. She has budgetary experience and experience developing policy and procedures for the office. Stacey is endorsed by our current district attorney,

Maggie Fleming and Sheriff Billy Honsal. She is also endorsed by a host of current and retired law enforcement officers, attorneys, county board of supervisors, as well as county and city officials.

We need a person of Stacey’s experience, ability and moral principles to lead the district attorney’s office into the future. Please join me and vote for Stacey Eads for Humboldt County district attorney.

Mike Losey, Fortuna Editor: We are lucky that in the race for Humboldt County district attorney, as in the race for superior court judge, we have two good, qualified people running. I’ve written previously of my support for Ben McLauglin for judge, and the key deciding factor for me in that race applies in the DA’s contest.

All the candidates in both races are experienced prosecutors, as all four have worked as Deputy DAs. What I feel sets two of these candidates apart, Ben McLauglin in the judicial race and Adrian Kamada in the DA’s race, is that these two are the only candidates who have also worked as public defenders. It is an all too-rare quality in judges, and especially rare in

district attorneys, to have not only worked as a prosecutor but as a public defender, as well.

Adrian Kamada will get my vote for DA. Check out www.ak4da.com to learn more.

Richard Salzman, Sunny Brae

Superior Court Judge Editor: As a civil litigator in Humboldt County for the past 24 years, I have come to know our local judges and what it takes to be a good judge. Steven Steward will be an excellent judge. I have had the unique experience of being neighbors and friends with Steve and his family for several years.

Steve is a dedicated family man with a commitment to our community and the ethical practice of law. He is tough and disciplined, but also approachable. He is experienced and decisive. His integrity and character are beyond reproach. He is universally respected by those who know him personally and work with him professionally. These are the qualities a judge must have to manage a courtroom efficiently and fairly. These are the qualities Steve will bring to our judiciary if he is elected on June 7.

I endorse and support Steven Steward for Judge of the Humboldt County Superior Court.

Nick Kloeppel, Arcata

Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters

Editor: Humboldt County Superior Court judge is a difficult and taxing job. I believe Steven Steward is the right candidate for the position.

I have known Mr. Steward for as long as I have been a Humboldt County resident, 24 years, and I firmly believe he is the hard working, thoughtful and compassionate person we need on the bench. In my discussions with Mr. Steward, I have concluded that he wants to become a judge to help make Humboldt County a better and safer place for his family and yours. His experience defending persons as a criminal defense attorney and as a prosecutor in the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office have given him the experience we need for the position of Humboldt County judge.

Mr. Steward’s diverse group of supporters is proof that this community wants someone they feel will represent all of us on the bench.

Please join me on June 7 and vote for Steven Steward for Humboldt County Superior Court judge. Thank you.

Editor: Juan Pablo Cervantes has outstanding qualifications for the critical public service positions of clerk, recorder and registrar of voters in Humboldt County. Cervantes is the only candidate with experience administering elections. The list of his professional and civic engagement in the field of election administration is long; and his educational background makes him uniquely qualified to continue his reliable work at our office of elections.

In a Democracy it is fundamental to protect the right to vote and to see that votes are accurately counted. Our elections and election workers are being unreasonably attacked with false accusations of corruption by some who want to disrupt the system. This could happen anywhere if the wrong people are elected. I have complete trust in the honesty, integrity, transparency, efficiency, accessibility and accuracy of Mr. Cervantes’ work at the Humboldt County Office of Elections.

Juan Pablo Cervantes has earned our votes!

Investigation finds Arcata councilmember harassed city employee

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

A

n outside investigation has found Arcata City Councilmember Brett Watson sexually harassed a city employee and used his position to make undue demands for the individual’s time and attention over the course of more than two years.

That included expecting her to respond to text messages about his personal life and feelings for her at all hours, wanting to spend hours with her each week and insisting on drawn-out hugs when the two met professionally. He was, according to the employee, a “constant interruption” in her life.

It also found Watson retaliated against the unnamed employee — criticizing her work and threatening to put her job performance up for review — when she deflected his romantic interest and tried to set boundaries on their interactions.

The recently released findings by the Danville-based law firm Kramer Workplace Investigations offer the first real insight into allegations that surfaced publicly at an Oct. 20 special Arcata City Council meeting when Watson’s fellow councilmembers removed him from his second turn as mayor and cast a vote of no confidence in his ability to serve as an elected representative, citing unspecified “alleged behaviors” that had come to light.

Within days, Watson announced he was entering a treatment program “to focus on depression and personal issues,” but returned to the dais in late November, with the city launching the investigation shortly afterward.

The names of the employee and seven witnesses interviewed were redacted from the 28-page report released to the Journal under a California Public Records Act request, which included hundreds of additional pages of support documents, including

emails and text messages between Watson and the employee, as well as contemporaneous notes she took to document their interactions.

Watson was not interviewed, according to the report, despite repeated unsuccessful scheduling attempts with a succession of three attorneys who each represented him briefly over the course of two months.

In a statement to the Journal, Watson wrote that he has “never harassed anyone” in his life, “worked tirelessly for the residents of Arcata” and tried to make himself available for an interview but was “never contacted by the investigator.”

“I’ll likely make further comment after I’ve been able to completely review the report and additional documents,” he wrote in the email. “I’m grateful to the public for their continued support over the last several months.”

Citing the totality of the information gathered during the investigation, including interviews with the employee and witnesses, as well as the volumes of exchanges between the employee and Watson, the report found Watson engaged in “unprofessional and inappropriate conduct,” and “abuse of his power as a city councilmember.”

“The credible evidence presented during the investigation establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that the allegations against Watson are sustained,” it states.

The employee’s interview with the investigator and her notes detail an escalating pattern of behavior that began in 2019 and continued into late 2021. She said she first noticed a change in Watson’s demeanor when he became mayor following his 2018 election to a four-year term after being appointed to the council in 2017.

The employee said she “developed an uncomfortable sense” about the way Watson wanted to control meeting agendas

and council discussions, and that he began to focus on “the rules pertaining to his authority and her authority,” describing him as a “conspiracy theorist.”

She said Watson also began making staff uncomfortable by spending more and more time at city hall, constantly nitpicking their work and statements.

Around this time, the employee received her first indications that Watson had feelings for her, when an unnamed individual she knew called to say he was “bizarrely critical of staff” when they met in Sacramento while he was interviewing for a seat on the California Coastal Commission but talked about having “deep feelings” for the employee.

The employee said she decided to “let it go” and not tell anyone.

Later that year, the employee said she first noticed Watson “was being possessive of her” after he became upset she was going on a business trip with another councilmember, calling each of his fellow council members to “see if they thought that was appropriate and to tell them why he thought it was inappropriate.”

When the employee told Watson he’d crossed a line, he reportedly responded by saying he should call a closed session discussion on her performance, then said he hoped he would be traveling with her at some point.

Between late 2019 and early 2020, the employee said, Watson became “obsessed” with minor city issues and “created” problems as an excuse to call her, with his demands on her time continuing to increase, which she attributed to things being “rough in his life.”

The situation began to spiral in May and June of 2020, the employee said, after Watson told her during one of their weekly walks that he had developed a crush on her and his “feelings were really deep” and “not something that will just blow over.”

The employee said she responded by telling Watson he would need to work out those feelings on his own, saying Watson said he “understood,” but went on to talk about how their relationship was “so different” and “she was the best friend he ever had.”

When the employee insisted they could not be best friends because he was her boss, Watson reportedly became very mad, telling her they could “do the employer employee

thing” and that it was easy for him to be “cold-blooded and tell her everything she was doing wrong,” according to the report.

For the next several months, the employee said, their interactions fell into a “recurring theme,” with Watson getting angry at her then apologizing and saying how much he needed her, and insisting he was working on his behavior.

Instead, he continued to push to spend more time with her, sending her incessant text messages and emails about his feelings, mental health state, work, family life and sometimes just the minutiae of his day, and becoming upset when she did not respond fast enough, the employee told investigators.

Around the same time, she said, Watson began talking about stepping down from the council but did not follow through. The employee said she knew he was struggling with his mental health and other personal issues, and he often brought up his drinking, marital troubles, therapy sessions and inability to sleep.

“You’re the only person I’ve ever known that always makes me feel like everything is going to be okay,” he wrote her in June of 2020. “There’s no amount of exercise or medication or anything that compares to how you make me feel better. You’re so important to me and it makes me really afraid of losing you as a friend and I’m really afraid of doing something or saying something that will detract from our friendship in any way.”

But, the employee said, Watson continued not to accept the boundaries that she tried to establish.

Hundreds of pages of text messages between Watson and the employee disclosed as a part of the report paint a picture of a man struggling with depression and other mental health issues, struggles that he seemed at times to use to manipulate the employee into further interactions as he navigates marital and family problems, as well as the death of his father.

In her interview with investigators, the employee noted this, saying Watson had “found her kryptonite,” knowing she wanted to help people and needed to support him “to ensure the city functioned properly.”

The report also notes that Watson’s text messages evidence not only an “unrealistic expectation” of the employee, “but also Continued on page 13 »

his dependency on her, which exceeds the boundaries of a supervisor/subordinate relationship.”

The employee related how, after she told the council about plans to take a vacation in August of 2020, Watson had called her the Friday night before her departure to say he was “mad” and “he did not know how he could be away from her for one week.”

A similar scenario occurred the following February, when she left town to attend a funeral and again when she went on another trip in May of 2021, according to the employee. She told the investigator that “she had conversations with Watson during all of her vacations, none of which were work-related,” explaining that “she considers it part of her job to be there for the councilmembers.”

The employee also related that at some point Watson told her he needed a hug and it became a “ritual” when they saw each other. There were occasions when he “went to her office and would not leave without a hug,” and others when he would ask for a hug during a walk, which she would give him because “she knew they would not go anywhere.”

Intermixed with these interactions, the employee said Watson also began talking disparagingly about other councilmembers and pressuring her to tell him about what she discussed with them, becoming angry when she refused.

“I fucking have to do this all the time,” she said he responded. “Box you in so you’re straight with me because you sidestep stuff, and I guess I just need to be your boss and you just need to do everything by the fucking book.”

By June of 2021, according to the report, the employee said she was “done” with Watson’s constant need for attention and told him “she was exhausted and tired of the harassment and the abuse and she could not take it anymore.”

One of the witnesses, who previously served on the council with Watson, told investigators that the employee broke down during a conversation with her that month, saying Watson had his “hooks in her” and that she “had had enough.”

Two months later, when Watson was arrested for a DUI, he called the employee to come pick him up from jail, which she did, though she declined his invitation to come inside the house when she dropped him off.

At the time, Watson released a statement saying he was reeling from the one-year anniversary of his father’s suicide and took “full responsibility for the results of the arrest while recognizing the importance of seeking treatment to support my mental health.”

The employee said she assumed he would step down as mayor at that point but he did not, citing an outpouring of support from the community.

One month later, the situation came to a head when the employee, Watson and another councilmember attended a conference in Sacramento during which he acted possessively and was “glued” to the employee’s side, according to the report.

After the three had a dinner out, Watson reportedly pressured the employee to finish

a bottle of wine they’d brought back to the hotel from the restaurant but she “sternly” refused.

When the employee didn’t answer his text, Watson contacted the other councilmember attending the conference and ended up having an all-night discussion with her, partly about Watson’s relationship with the employee.

That other councilmember took the employee aside the next day and told her that Watson was “absolutely obsessed with her,” that it was not OK and that something needed to be done, according to the report.

That conversation set in motion a closed session meeting Oct.13, where Watson’s actions were discussed with the full council, during which Watson reportedly accused the employee of wanting him to resign because he questioned her, saying she “wanted her power back,” according to the report.

But by the meeting’s end, the report states Watson agreed to step down as mayor.

When he did not, the Oct. 20 special meeting was called, at which the four other councilmembers removed Watson from the position of mayor and issued a public rebuke.

According to the report, little changed after Watson returned from his residential treatment. After not hearing from him for week, the employee said Watson walked into her office unannounced on Dec. 1 and wanted to go over a meeting agenda.

The interaction did not go well, according to the employee.

After Watson said he felt “betrayed by her,” she said she explained that “others noticed how he treated her” and “gave him the option to resign,” which he did not.

Soon after, the city hired Kramer Workplace Investigations.

What happens next is unclear. As an elected official, which the city noted when the investigation was launched, Watson can not be fired, reassigned or placed on administrative leave, as migh t be done in a similar situation involving an employee.

Also unknown is how the city will navigate the situation moving forward. When the accusations first came to light, the city enacted what officials described as a “special set of protocols” that prescribed with whom, how and when Watson could interact with staff.

The report’s release also comes during a period of transition for the council, which has seen two of the five seats turn over in less than a year, with one of those vacancies slated to be filled by one of six candidates running in the June election.

Watson’s seat, and that of Councimember Meredith Matthews, who was appointed to finish the term of former Mayor Sofia Pereira last summer, will also be on the ballot in November.

A special 6 p.m. meeting to discuss the report is currently scheduled for May 17. ● Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the digital editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 323, or kim@northcoastjournal. com. Follow her on Twitter @kimberly_wear.

CA Dems Lean into Abortion as ‘Defining Issue’

W

hen a draft Supreme Court ruling that would overturn the constitutional right to abortion leaked May 2, Democratic leaders in California reacted swiftly with shock, grief and fury.

It didn’t take long for the personal devastation to turn political.

By the morning of May 4, Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is running for re-election this year, had already cut a new campaign ad about “reproductive freedom under attack.” In a tweet unveiling the ad, he framed defeating “anti-choice Republicans” as the “defining issue of the 2022 election.”

As the stark reality has sunk in that the landmark Roe v. Wade decision is unlikely to make it to its 50th birthday, many Democrats are leaning forcefully into abortion rights as a key election issue. With decades of public polling indicating a majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, it could be the party’s most potent counterweight in a campaign cycle in which Republicans seem poised to capitalize on voter frustration over inflation and crime.

“Don’t think for a second this is where they stop,” Newsom said May 4 outside Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, where he raised the alarm that conservatives would also seek to roll back other rights such as same-sex marriage. “Pay attention, America. They’re coming after you next.”

In his remarks, Newsom called for a stronger Democratic counteroffensive on protecting abortion. He slammed Republicans for claiming to be pro-life while opposing policies to provide more support to women and families after a baby is born, previewing a political attack that could soon be coming to swing districts across the country.

“That’s how extreme the Republican Party is in the United States of America. You want extremism? Rape and incest, they don’t even make an exception,” Newsom said. “Wake up, America. Wake up to who you’re electing.”

Democrats, weighed down by sagging approval ratings for President Joe Biden and in danger of losing control of Congress in the November midterm election, have been struggling to find a message that might motivate liberal voters to show up to the polls and persuade moderates to stick with their governance.

Jack Pitney, a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College, said the reality of a

northcoastjournal.com/ncjdaily

Supreme Court ruling against abortion rights could provide a significant boost. Though warnings about that potential outcome have not historically driven turnout for Democrats while the Roe decision withstood decades of attacks, Pitney said voters are much more alert to loss.

“The issue has moved from the realm of the hypothetical to the realm of the real,” he said.

And it could remain near the top of the news through the rest of the year, with the official opinion expected this summer and then potentially dozens of states passing new abortion restrictions after that.

“It’s kind of like a wildfire, and the burning embers and debris will spread over the electorate for months to come,” Pitney said.

Still, it is uncertain how much of a difference abortion can make for Democrats, who are facing significant political headwinds nationally from pocketbook issues such as spiraling inflation and high gas prices.

While probably not potent enough to shift the balance of power, Pitney said abortion could move the margins in close races with national implications, such as the contests for U.S. Senate in Georgia and Wisconsin. Some Republicans are already planning to push for a nationwide abortion ban should the GOP win complete control of the federal government in the next few years. The ruling, Pitney added, might also help Democrats regain some ground with young voters, who have particularly soured on Biden.

There is probably less of a potential impact in California, where Democrats have nearly maximized their power at every level of government.

Beth Miller, a Republican political consultant, said Californians who are motivated by abortion rights are already quite engaged politically. She is skeptical that it will bring new or infrequent voters the the polls, especially when abortion access is not under immediate threat here.

“The overriding issue in California is the cost of living,” Miller said.

But California Democrats are quickly elevating abortion to the forefront of their messaging anyway, with some even fundraising off the news that Roe v. Wade may be overturned. More than 70 percent of Californians oppose repealing the ruling, according to a poll this year by the Public Policy Institute of California.

Within hours of Politico publishing

the draft Supreme Court ruling on May 2, Newsom and legislative leaders pledged to put an amendment on the November ballot enshrining the right to abortion in the state constitution. Though “not why we’re doing this,” Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, acknowledged during a press conference Tuesday that she hoped the measure would boost turnout.

During his visit to Planned Parenthood on May 4, Newsom agreed that “folks should really be pissed off at this moment. If this doesn’t animate people to get involved…I don’t know what the hell will.”

The greatest impact could come in a handful of swing U.S. House districts, where the Democratic Party is defending vulnerable incumbents or seeking to win back seats it lost two years ago. Anti-Donald Trump fervor among suburban women drove Democrats to major gains in places such as Orange County in 2018, and anger over abortion restrictions may provide a similar motivating force in 2022.

In the Santa Clarita Valley outside Los Angeles, where Republican Mike Garcia won a congressional race by fewer than 400 votes in 2020, his Democratic opponents have repeatedly lambasted the draft Supreme Court decision on social media and in local news outlets since Monday night.

Christy Smith, who lost to Garcia two years ago and is seeking a rematch, attended an abortion rights rally Tuesday evening, posing near a giant replica of a wire hanger with a “keep your policies off my body” sign. She called it a “warning” to Garcia.

Another Democrat challenging Garcia, Quaye Quartey, said in an interview that the draft ruling had created “more of a sense of urgency” around stopping the “Republican onslaught on our democratic values.”

ncj_of_humboldt

ncjournal

He noted that Garcia had signed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to overturn Roe and co-sponsored a bill to ban abortion nationally by declaring that life begins at conception.

“We know that he’s dangerous, and this is just another example of how dangerous he is,” Quartey said.

Yet not every Democrat has rushed to embrace the topic, hinting at some of the political nuances that could emerge as the immediate outrage over the draft opinion settles.

Unlike many of her colleagues, state Sen. Melissa Hurtado of Hanford, who faces one of the toughest re-election bids of any legislator this year, has yet to comment on the decision.

Since Monday, she has posted on social media about mental health awareness, teacher appreciation and even Star Wars Day, but not abortion rights.

Neither has Assemblymember Rudy Salas of Bakersfield, who is seeking to take out Republican David Valadao in a Central Valley congressional seat with an increasing Democratic voter registration advantage.

Neither Hurtado’s nor Salas’ campaigns responded to interview requests. But both are running in districts where a majority of voters are Latino and white conservatives have traditionally held disproportionate sway in elections because of low turnout.

The PPIC survey found that support for Roe v. Wade was considerably lower among Latinos than other ethnic groups in California — just 64 percent. And while a slim majority of Republicans (54 percent) do oppose overturning the decision, that compares to 77 percent of independent voters and 87 percent of Democrats.

Rice is Life

WEBER

Country braised rice with a little of everything

SPIRIT E-330 GAS GRILL

F

or many Asian people, rice is a staple in their diet. We often say, “Rice is life.” Many older Chinese still greet each other with, “Have you eaten rice yet?” I like my rice steamed, fried, braised, in soup or sweetened in a dessert. Lately, l have been trying to eat healthier by adding brown, red or black rice to my white rice — it hasn’t been too bad.

Last week, we had a fundraiser at the Elks Lodge with a few of the Eureka Emblem Club members. Country braised rice was on the menu and the event was a success. This is one of my favorite dishes from my hometown, usually eaten during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. I used to look forward to it when l was a kid. The mouthwatering smell of my mom cooking fried dried shrimp, lap cheong sausage and Chinese bacon filling in our tiny kitchen, and the rapid chopping sounds of my dad cutting up kohlrabi in our dining room are fond memories l cherish still.

For my family, the kohlrabi is the star for this dish — sweet and crunchy, a celebration of the winter harvest in my hometown. We anticipated this special meal all year. We called it “oil rice,” in Chinese, an auspicious meal for a rich and fat year to come. I know the name is not very appetizing for some, but I believe it is called that because the ingredients are stir fried in oil. Believe me, the dish is not oily at all. To me, it’s kind of healthy: You have meat, seafood and vegetables all in one dish. To write this recipe, I renamed it “braised rice,” which feels like a better fit in English. However, when l talk to my family, we still refer it as “oil rice.”

Because we live on the North Coast, you can make this dish anytime you wish.

You can find almost all the ingredients in Asia’s Best in Eureka (2085 Myrtle Ave., No. 8). If kohlrabi is not in season, you can substitute it with the peeled stems of broccoli. If you are allergic to dried shrimp, you can skip it or add chicken instead. For

me, it’s hard to make just a small pot. It’s good for leftover or to share with others.

Country Braised Rice I like to cook my rice on the stove for this dish because I love the crunchy, brown crust that forms at the bottom.

This is the best part, as the bottom absorbs all the flavors of the other ingredients. Makes 3 to 4 servings.

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked sushi rice 3 cups cold water 1 to 2 kohlrabies 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 lap cheong (Chinese sausages) ¼ pound Chinese bacon 2 ounces dried shrimp 3 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked for few hours or overnight ½ teaspoon minced ginger 2 tablespoons minced persevered Chinese mustard root (optional) 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 1 teaspoon sugar ¼ teaspoon white pepper Chopped green onions for garnish Rinse the rice at least 2 times in a strainer. Pour the drained rice in a rice cooker or a pot, and add 3 cups of cold water.

Set aside. I like to let my rice soak while getting other ingredients ready.

Soak the dried shrimp with warm water and set aside. Peel the kohlrabi and dice it so each piece is a bit smaller than a pea.

You’ll need to chop about 2 cups worth.

Now chop the Chinese bacon and lap cheong, again, into pieces the size of peas.

Drain the shiitake mushrooms, squeezing out excess water (reserve the liquid for cooking if you like), and dice to pea size.

Lastly, drain the shrimp and, if they are larger, roughly chop them. Well, now, that’s a lot of chopping. Hope you have patience and good knife skills.

Now start cooking the rice, either in the cooker or on the stovetop according to package directions. While the rice is cooking, warm a wok or pan over high heat, add oil and heat for 20 seconds. Add the ingredients in this order: dried shrimp, bacon and lap cheong. Stir fry and toss the proteins until you can see the bacon fat melting out, about 2 minutes. Then add the kohlrabi and sauté for few minutes before adding the ginger, shiitake, persevered mustard root (if using) and 1 cup of water or reserved shiitake soaking liquid. Cook over high heat for 3 minutes, until kohlrabi is little tender, yet still crunchy. Turn off the heat and season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and pepper. You might need to add 1 teaspoon salt if not using the persevered mustard root, which is super salty.

At this point, your rice should be almost ready (about 90 percent cooked).

Pour the mixture onto the rice, replace the cover and let it simmer for couple more minutes. Before serving, mix the rice well, folding in all the fried ingredients and sauce. Garnish with green onions if you want to be fancy. Enjoy. ● You can find Home Cooking with Wendy Chan (she/her) classes benefitting local charities on Facebook.

fter sitting on the sidelines for nearly a week due to terrible ocean conditions, the Eureka fleet was finally back on the water Tuesday. And the salmon were waiting. Early reports indicate there’s a large area full of fish right out front of Eureka and most of the boats that ventured out scored limits. And it sounds like there are salmon up and down the coast.

When the Shelter Cove boats have been able to launch, the salmon fishing has been lights out. The big surprise so far has been Crescent City. Limit-style fishing has been the norm since the opener, which hasn’t been the case in quite a few years.

Though we’re only 10 days into the season, it’s already looking like we’re in for a good one.

Weekend marine forecast

“LARGEST BRAND SELECTION IN THE COUNTY”

It’s looking like we’ll have a week of fishable weather. Friday, south winds will be up to 5 knots with west waves 6 feet at nine seconds. Saturday’s forecast is calling for northwest winds to 5 knots with westerly waves 4 feet at nine seconds. Sunday’s prediction is looking better, with northwest winds 5 to 10 knots with northwest swells 4 feet at 10 seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/eureka/ or www. windy.com. You can also call the National Weather Service at 443-7062 or the office on Woodley Island at 443-6484.

The Oceans: Eureka

After a week of rough weather, the seas finally calmed down and the boats were back on the water Tuesday. And the salmon were there and in a biting mood. According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, there was a pretty large area of

fish. “Most of the boats did well between the 44 and 49-lines from 200 to 250 feet of water,” said Klassen. “There were some birds and bait, but not a ton. There were some whales in the area however. The fish were averaging about 8 pounds but some bigger fish were caught.”

Trinidad

Not much in the way of effort or fish reports out of Trinidad due to the ocean conditions. Just a reminder, the launch will be in service and launching boats at 6 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Thursday through Monday. They will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Cost to launch is $45. Call 677-3625 for more information.

Shelter Cove

Ocean conditions have improved this week, which should put some more boats on the water. Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing ventured out in rough conditions last week and reports a pretty good salmon bite. “We were the only boat out on Friday in very sloppy conditions but managed to get boat limits of salmon to 15-pounds,” said Mitchell. “The rock fishing has been really good so far, with the lings being a little tougher to come by. Most of our effort has been around the Old Man.”

Crescent City

Abundant salmon limits were reported by the fleet Tuesday. Boats fishing near buoy 2 had the most action but there’s a wide area of fish all the way to the Sisters.

Most of the fish are coming shallow, under 50-feet on the wire. Anchovies, SpinFish and Cut Plugs are all catching fish. The

rockfish bite has been excellent as well with the South Reef and Sisters being a couple of the top spots.

Brookings

Rough weather sidelined the Brookings fleet most of last week, but conditions look good this week, reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. He said, “With high water in the Chetco, the best fishing will be north of Chetco Point. No halibut have been reported yet but smaller swells the middle of this week will allow boats to get to the more productive areas.

Ocean salmon season opens June 18 out of Brookings.”

Lower Rogue

“Spring salmon fishing continues to be good on the lower Rogue River, even with the high, muddy water over the weekend,” said Martin. “Lots of hatchery springers are being caught by anglers fishing anchovies and spinner blades from anchored boats or Brad’s plug cut lures of 3.5 MagLips from shore. Conditions should be prime this week as the river drops.”

IT’S PERSONAL

One Couple’s Abortion Story, 45 Years Later

FOX FARM

HAPPY FROG

By Louisa Rogers

itspersonal@northcoastjournal.com

L

ast week’s leak of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion on Roe v Wade took me back more than four decades, when, in the space of six months, I had two abortions.

I hope my story will help people understand the right to an abortion isn’t only a political or moral issue, but also one of kindness. After a day for honoring mothers, it’s also important to honor those who had the courage to decide not to be mothers.

In 1976, I was 25, living in Vancouver, Canada, and in love with my then boyfriend, the man who has now been my husband for 44 years. The October afternoon I discovered I was pregnant, I asked myself if I should follow my body, if I was meant to have a baby. I knew intuitively the answer was no. I called Barry from the doctor’s office to tell him and he picked me up. As I waited for him, I had no ambivalence; I’d get an abortion.

At the time, we were in no position to assume the responsibilities of raising a child. Barry was in the middle of protracted and messy divorce proceedings with his first wife. With 5-year-old twin daughters, who in later years I would grow to love deeply, he was working overtime to handle alimony and child support payments. Our relationship was still young and fragile, freighted with enough challenges without the complexity of another child. Marriage, three years in our future, was nowhere in sight then, and it didn’t occur to me to raise a kid on my own.

Single motherhood by choice was still rare at that time.

I got pregnant because my IUD failed, through no fault of its own. I must have known it had an expiration date (they typically last between three and 10 years) but I didn’t know when it passed. Ever since, Barry has deeply regretted not paying more attention and asking about its expiration date. But I don’t remember any doctor asking me about my IUD’s lifespan, either, and there was no internet back then. We felt deceptively safe.

My abortion was not my only challenge during that period. Around the time I found out I was pregnant, my mother, a young 53, entered the hospital for undiagnosed pain, which turned out to be advanced pancreatic cancer. She died three weeks after my abortion. I remember weeping on the phone with Barry a day later. “What is it?” he asked sympathetically. “Are you crying because of the abortion?’

“No,” I said, between sobs. “I’m crying because Daddy just called and told me Mother has terminal cancer.”

Not long after her memorial service, in a strange juxtaposition of events, I made an appointment for a diaphragm. Convenient though the IUD was, I had heard too many scary stories about women experiencing complications with the devices.

The following spring, I was devastated to learn I was pregnant again. This time, it was because the diaphragm wasn’t the right fit, as my uterus hadn’t fully returned to its pre-pregnancy state. Though I can’t understand how my gynecologist didn’t know this, I still hold myself responsible.

The diaphragm itself hadn’t failed, as it did in my mother’s case; my younger brother was a diaphragm baby.

At this point, my relationship with Barry was even more complicated. I had already decided to return to the U.S. to be closer to my family after Mother’s death and Barry wasn’t joining me. Even if he had wanted to make such a huge move, he couldn’t, lacking a green card, and paying alimony and child support. We were still committed to each other but our future at that moment was uncertain.

Embarrassed as I was about my second abortion (one was bad enough, but two?), I was still more open about it 45 years ago than recently. At 70, I have to keep reminding myself that there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I had them — and nothing wrong with saying I had them.

Insidiously, without realizing it, I’ve been censoring myself.

Why? Have I internalized the shame

fed by our current politics? Shame and silence are like siblings: They don’t share the exact DNA but they’re part of the same family. In our cultural conversation, abortion has been increasingly treated like a crime, even when perfectly legal.

I was trying to be responsible and most of the time I was, but I wasn’t perfect.

Clearly, neither of my abortions was a form of birth control. Am I not allowed to make an honest mistake without potentially tragic, lifelong consequences to myself, to Barry and to the future baby we chose not to have? Had I been forced to give birth, I’m not sure our relationship would have survived, so any child I had might well have grown up with a single mother (a status widely accepted now but certainly not in 1976) and worse, with a mom who didn’t want them.

Not everyone is fit to be a parent and, at 25, I don’t think I would have made a good mother. It’s all very well to want to protect the life of what conservatives call “the unborn child” (even though most abortions are of embryos) but what about the quality of that life?

I’m a human being who made mistakes, as are other women who get pregnant accidentally. Even without guilt and shame, having an abortion is no joke. We who choose that option can feel confused and conflicted already by the emotional, hormonal, logistical and financial mess we’re in. Even in the best of circumstances, when we can afford a safe and legal abortion and our families support us, it’s a tough time. To me, looking back on my own history, denying women the option to terminate a pregnancy and legislation aimed at prosecuting ones who do is harsh, punitive, mean-spirited and unforgiving.

We deserve kindness, not retribution. l Louisa Rogers (she/her) is a leadership coach and writer who lives in Eureka and Guanajuato, Mexico.

SETLIST

Better Git it in Your Soul

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

H

aving grown up in love with the work of Charles Mingus, I am excited for Thursday’s show.

Which is good news because there hasn’t been much else in the world inspiring joy for me lately. I can’t imagine that I’m the only one, either.

The lack of pretense surrounding our society’s slip into open authoritarianism is about as refreshing as it is terrifying.

If I had to pick a blueprint for government that was written by firelight before humans had an understanding of the germ theory of disease I’d pick Plato’s Republic rather than the U.S. Constitution, which has aged poorly. The dead and nearly dead have such a power grip on the young and living in this country that I am unironically starting to believe in vampirism.

When selling blood becomes a buyer’s market you know things are about to get bad. Anyway, we still have good things to distract us and there are more than a few shows this month that I am looking forward to. So, watch this space, dear reader, because I am happy to peddle in distractions and there’s a non-zero chance that the ghost of Nero will show up during this upcoming local election cycle to show off his fiddling skills and drop some pointers to a few of the candidates and incumbents. Who knows? Everything bad seems possible.

Toodle-oo.

Thursday April 22 would have been the 100th birthday of the great jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus, had he not passed away from complications from ALS in 1979.

To celebrate the work of this brilliant man, the Cal Poly Jazz Orchestra is putting on a tribute concert at Fulkerson Hall tonight at 8 p.m. The show is only a 10-spot and $5 for children, which is appropriate as one of Mingus’ most highly-regarded albums was 1972’s Let My Children Hear Music. My favorite cut was the opening number, “The Shoes of the Fisherman’s Wife are Some

Jiveass Slippers.” They don’t name ’em like they used to.

Friday the 13th It’s another one of those spooky days of ill-omens and evil auguries. It’s the only one of 2022, so make it count. The only show I found explicitly celebrating the day is over at RampArt at 9 p.m., where a whole lot of bands I have never heard of are filling the bill (kind of rare around here), with names like Not Lewy, Rupunzl, Unsung Rex, Me Spirit, BeninPayne and Ily Jxsh. As it is RampArt, it’s probably a safe assumption these acts are punk or metal, although hip hop isn’t out of the question.

Also as with most RampArt shows, no mention of a cover charge on the posters around town, so bring a few bucks.

Saturday

Oryan Peterson-Jones will be playing a solo classical guitar set at Septentrio Winery at 6 p.m. This free show will be chock full of O.P-J’s trademark sound of outsider American primitivism, so if you like that sort of thing — I sure do — come grab a seat.

Later on at 9 p.m. over at Humbrews, there will be a special graduation edition of Soul Party. Come join the usual suspects — DJ Red, Maxwell, Philly Fresh and Funky T-Rex — as they spin the majestic vinyl goodies that make asses wiggle and cares melt away.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 12, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

Sunday New venue alert! The Thing is a new thing on the Arcata Plaza, specifically at 833 H St. Tonight is its inaugural show, featuring the bellydance-accompanied musical stylings of Hayal, and the Persian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fusion sound of duo Donya Reeza at 7 p.m. (price TBA). From the sound of things, the people behind this Thing are attempting to create a collective art space of a certain aesthetic caliber. What that is remains anyone’s guess but we all love a new thing, don’t we, folks? As long as it doesn’t resemble John Carpenter’s The Thing, I suspect a good night will be had by all.

Monday

Denver indie folkster Esmé Patterson is playing the Miniplex tonight at 7:30 p.m. ($14). Formerly from the ensemble act Paper Bird, Patterson has been a solo artist for a full decade now, trading out the more acoustic and banjo-y elements of her former group for a lilting and ethereal electric sound. Opening the evening is ascendant local act The California Poppies, whose sound is a living homage to the blissed-out Kodachrome visions of the ’60s heyday of West Coast pop music.

Tuesday Los Angeles heavy rock power trio Solar Haze is coming to Eureka tonight to blast out the ears of anyone in the

Siren’s Song. Touring on the sound of last summer’s hot EP The Solar Age, this group is a must-see for fans of stoner metal and ’70s-influenced hard rock like Blue Cheer and the excellent proto-metal group Budgie. Locals Not Ewe are on the bill, too, at 8 p.m. ($5- $10).

Wednesday Have you seen the Vine (RIP to that platform) where the guy in the Spider-Man suit, sans mask, says, “It is Wednesday, my dudes,” and screams? How about the meme with the picture of the adorable fat frog with a caption of that same quote?

No? Congratulations, you are less online than me and therefore undoubtedly happier. Anyway, it is Wednesday, my dudes and dudettes, and you can celebrate the middle of the working week with a cool show at the Miniplex. Anika is a German and British journalist turned singer-songwriter who plays dreamy, electronically tinged pop music that is delicate and haunting. You might have heard her cover of a cover “I Go To Sleep,” the Kinks song that was made famous by journalist turned singer Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.

Estonian musician and activist Maria Minerva will perform a DJ set as well at 7:30 p.m., ($18, $15 advance). l Collin Yeo (he/him) lives in Arcata, where it is becoming increasingly clear that he dodged a real hot mess by failing to secure a seat on the city council.

M/V Madaket: 112 Years Young

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com “The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had 30 oars and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their places. [Philosophers argued,] one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.”

— Plutarch, AD 46-119

I

f you think you’re the same person as you were 10 years ago — despite every cell in your body having been swapped out for a brand spanking new one — you’ll probably agree that Theseus’ “new” ship is still the same as the original one. And, getting to my point (finally!), you’ll allow that the motor vessel Madaket that takes tourists on sightseeing cruises around the bay is still the same old Nellie C, under a different name, that launched from Fairhaven on June 6, 1910.

First, a little history. In 1909, Capt. Henry Cousins commissioned six passenger boats to service the then thriving lumber industry around Humboldt Bay. Named for a member of Cousins’ family, the Nellie C, along with five sister boats, carried up to 1,500 workers every day to the Hammond Lumber Mill and Fairhaven Shipyard on Samoa peninsula from the east side of the bay, with side trips to Table Bluff, Arcata and Fields Landing. The ferries ran nearly nonstop 24/7, only pausing for a respite between 2:30 and 6 a.m. When Henry Cousins got out of the business in 1931, Walter Coggeshall’s Launch & Towboat Co. took over his boats. Coggeshall renamed the small fleet of launches (as they were called) after Native American tribes, at which time Nellie C became Madaket, after the Mawtukkit people who lived near present-day Nantucket, Massachusetts.

More ownership changes followed until 1971, when the triple-span Samoa Bridge

opened. Workers could now drive to the mills in less time than it took the Madaket and the only other remaining launch of the original six, the Sallie C (aka Quidnet), to motor across the bay. Businessman Bob Imperiale (of Imperiale Square on Second Street) bought the Madaket and by the following year, the ferryboat had been transformed into a harbor cruise boat. A decade later, the boat’s present owners the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum bought it, although, like any old wooden vessel, much maintenance work was needed.

Fortunately, help was at hand. Bill Zerlang (whose woodworking hobby became his business Wooden Willie’s Cabinet Shop) and his son Leroy banded together with like-minded conservationists to raise the money to preserve the Madaket. For nearly a year, under the direction of master shipwright Ed Frey of Fortuna, the boat was torn apart and rebuilt with new Douglas fir timbers, a real-life Ship of Theseus. Relaunched in 1990, the Madaket has since carried tens of thousands of locals and tourists around Humboldt Bay. Bill Zerlang died in 2003 at age 90, but Leroy, his wife Dalene, son Cody and a loyal crew are keeping alive the tradition of boats on the bay, a fact that might have surprised Captain Cousins.

The Madaket is distinguished in many ways. In addition to being the last survivor of Humboldt Bay’s ferries, the boat is home to the smallest licensed bar in California and is the oldest passenger vessel in the U.S. For information about scheduled cruises, come down to “C” dock (next to Jack’s Seafood, on the boardwalk) or call 445-1910. You won’t regret it. l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) came to a compromise with his editor over the gender of the Madaket (she/her, it/its).

SCREENS

The Sound of Magic’s Misdirection

By Tiggerbouncer Custodio screens@northcoastjournal.com

THE SOUND OF MAGIC. I believe in magic. I live in a world where people spontaneously sing and dance, and cherry blossom petals fall from trees in the most opportune times. Because of this outrageous fortune, the world of The Sound of Magic, the new K-Drama series streaming on Netflix is immediately enticing. A downtrodden student (Choi Sung-Eun) with far too many secrets weighing her down and the son of a successful lawyer (Hwang In-Yeop) facing all the pressures of success, are serenaded in spectacular style by an enigmatic and devilish magician (Ji Chang-Wook) living in an abandoned amusement park. The series’ recipe of musical, drama, rom-com and suspense may seem like the writers thumb wrestled for control of the direction of the piece, however, the flow, character development and plot twists make it work.

In true K-Drama style, the show plays like an extended mini-series telling a completed story. Episodes feel nearly complete themselves with a few cliff-hangers as frustrating binge bait. It is healthier to digest it slowly and respite between episodes aids in the success of the aforementioned menu of styles. In fact, the ebb and flow of each segment’s tones could be hampered by gluttonous binge viewing.

For example, the show’s exposition of A-yi’s destitution and drive to take care of herself and her sister Yoo-Yi (very sweetly played by Hong Jung-min) transitions nicely into the suspense of meeting the mysterious magician Ri-Eul. Yet, when juxtaposed with the almost Disney-level magic and song of later episodes, the shift feels jarring. The gritty reality of A-Yi is necessary to establish and is just as engaging to watch as the fanciful cinemagic created by the magician plotline and both are explored in different episodes.

This allows for deeper exploration of the series’ unifying theme: When does fancy and wonder impede grounded success in this capitalist world?

Within the high school that A-yi at-

Exactly how concerned I am with non-violent protestors violating Kavanaugh’s right to privacy. tends, this question is embodied in Na IlDeung’s journey. Pushed to be a lawyer by his parents (Yoo Jae-Myung and Kim HyeEun) he scrabbles to be the top student in every subject by sometimes nefarious means. While his mother metaphorically snaps the whip in an archetypal portrayal of overbearing matriarch drive, his father’s affection is refreshing until his son’s disrespect of his mother leads to a quick shut down. Propelled by his repressed feelings for A-yi, Na Il-Deung’s escape into the free world the magician provides leads him to question paths that are taboo for proper Korean men to explore. Why do we need respect, power and money if we are doing something we love? Blasphemy!

The series also includes next-level mean girl bullying. Ji Hye-Won plays the part of Baek Ha-Na well — cunning and devious, her only motivation is destruction of the awkward A-Yi. Specifically, it’s “to have a little fun” as she tells Kim So-hee (Kim Bo-yoon) the typical hesitant sidekick, uneasy yet tacitly approving of her popular friend’s antics. Incorporating a vlog, cyber stalking, manipulative traps and false affection, Baek Ha-Na is the main villain of the story. Perhaps it’s clever camera angles or the actor’s facial exercises paying off, but the physicality of her characters expressions may lead one to question whether she’s the same person throughout. It is particularly disturbing when she plays care and concern while wearing an innocent face until her duplicity reveals a sinister, under-lit-horror-movie antagonist.

Director Kim Seong-Yoon’s use of every second of an episode’s 62-minute runtime to tell a complete and in-depth story is a testament to his ability to honor writer Kim Min-Jeong’s adaptation of Korean digi-comic Annarasumanara. Though a less-

er director might hesitate at the ambitious merging of styles, Seong-Yoon tackles the challenge brilliantly. The series may seem bloated at times, but the way he breaks up the story and refocuses the episodes allows for more thematic meaning and deeper character revelations.

Music director Park Seong-Il blends the catchiness and energy of K-Pop with the lavish dramatic flair of musical theater.

Though it’s a bit sweet for my taste (think Disney princess singing bubblegum pop), the smattering of numbers feels appropriately spaced and just barely prevents nausea or eye-rolling.

A musical love story murder mystery drama and a rabbit in the hat. Don’t let the deeply misleading trailer fool you; this isn’t a kid’s story or a rom-com, and some episodes should come with a trigger warning for the more abusive and graphically violent segments. However, once the disappointment of a bait-and-switch trailer wears off, the misdirection may fit the theme. If you take your time with it, the beauty of the bow-ending is worth it. ● Tiggerbouncer Custodio (he/she/ they) is an empowered queer Indigenous Filipino artist whose works have been seen on Humboldt stages and elsewhere.
