‘X-mas in May’

Editor:

As always, when I pick up the NCJ I go straight to the letters, and this week the letters were X-mas in May for me (Mailbox, May 25). The three letters were from three of my favorite letter writers.

The first was from the marvelous Ellen Taylor, who always tells it like it is and with unerring accuracy pins the tail on the donkey. When she said “the value of the American Indigenous philosophy of life,” my heart swelled. We so need to learn from a people who have lived on these lands for so long what we must do to save our country. Thank you, Ellen.

Next came the wisdom of Patty Harvey addressing the increasingly critical situation of health care, here and everywhere. Sadly, it is not enough to have one showing of the film she writes about. We need massive change and we need it yesterday. Thank you, Patty.

Last but nowhere in the vicinity of least, the terrific Wendy Ring has done her homework and has, hopefully, shown Michael Winkler how to do his homework in the future. Wendy has not missed a beat and I can only hope everyone in the county has read her letter and been educated. You are wonderful. Wendy, we are so lucky to have you, thank you.

Thank you NCJ for gifting us all with those great letters.

‘The Full Message’

Editor:

Drag as stated in the article (May 18) has been around a long time. What goes on at drag shows today is reported in the media.

Reporter Jennifer Fumiko Cahill states

Bugs Bunny was her first exposure. The all-ages show at CR had cartoon characters Monsters, Inc., Pumba, Timon. These anthropomorphism characters as cartoons, are comedic. Morphed into human form (by gay performers) as drag queens, and published in NCJ (and elsewhere), the cartoon illusions become muddled. Children see their cartoons coming to life, yet their confused sub-conscious is registering the full message given forth by the performances.

The gay movement manipulates media to extend their reach. In 1985, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen published their blueprint to persuade straight America to accept homosexuality. They suggested gay people “muddy the moral waters.” They said, “At a later stage of the media campaign for gay rights – long after other gay ads have become commonplace – it will be time to get tough with remaining opponents. To be blunt, they must be vilified.”

In 1987, Steve Warren, a spokesperson for the gay group ACT UP, wrote an article for The Advocate, a gay magazine. “We have captured the liberal establishment and the press. We have already beaten you on a number of battlefields. And we have the spirit of the age on our side. You have neither the faith nor the strength to fight us, so you might as well surrender now.”

With the media’s assistance, societal values are changing. A Gallup poll released in March shows that persons identifying as LGBTQ+ stand at 7 percent, with more than half (4.2 percent) bisexual. (Younger generations: Gen X 3.3 percent, Millennials 11.2 percent, Gen Z 19.7 percent.) The gay media propaganda is impacting youth. When will the manipulated media wake up?

racism, but we have only gotten to this point by acknowledging our failures of the past and addressing them head on. As such, I would like to take the opportunity to apologize to the Asian-American, Pacific Islander community for our reprehensible racist past and to vow that we will never let it happen again.

Immigrant workers have always been exploited and, though things are better than they were, we know exploitation continues in California and beyond. Hmong and Latino immigrant communities continue to feel the exploitation in cannabis cultivation, among other industries, here in Humboldt County. Our strength as a labor movement is dependent on raising the floor for all workers without regard to race, creed, color or sexual orientation. The saying that “an injury to one is an injury to all” is at the core of what makes us a rejuvenated movement with approval ratings at a high not seen for 50 years. So our work is not done, Humboldt County. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that all workers in Humboldt County can raise their families without fear of racism, retaliation or reprisal. I hope all readers will join us in creating that reality for now and the future.

Reading the “Chinese Again in Humboldt, Part Three” column by Alex Service in the May 25 NCJ, it saddened me to hear again an example of organized labor’s racist past. As president of the Humboldt and Del Norte Counties Central Labor Council and a union representative for 20 years, I know things are very different now for organized labor. Gone are the years of unions being segregated and divided by

CSU Title IX Investigation Finds Distrust in Leadership, Lack of Accountability

By Ollie Hancock ollie@northcoastjournal.com

The law firm Cozen O’Connor released a preliminary oral report on the findings of its investigation of the CSU System’s Title IX program at a recent CSU Board of Trustees meeting. The firm visited Cal Poly Humboldt in December, with its attorneys hosting open forums for students and staff. In addition to campus visits, Cozen O’Connor reported receiving nearly 18,000 survey responses, as well as replies sent to a dedicated email address.

The audit findings highlighted areas of concern that reduce the efficacy of Title IX reporting processes across the CSU system. The audit looked at responses to Title IX and Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation (DHR) violations, and also “other conduct of concern,” which refers to infractions that may not amount to Title IX policy violations or discrimination based on protected status but were still disruptive. Though these concerns may not require official investigations, they reflect the culture of a campus.

of Cozen O’Connor presented five core findings from their review. The first is that the current system infrastructure is lacking. Of 23 campuses, 19 have combined DHR and Title IX responsibilities into one office. Another infrastructure issue is poor record-keeping systems. Smith says without the ability to see patterns or the bandwidth to address other conduct of concern, a campus can’t create a supportive culture. The audit says there is diminished trust in Title IX offices due to the repercussions of work overload.

On one CSU campus, “a Title IX coordinator also oversees human resources, equal opportunity, DHR, ADA, whistleblowers, and Clery [Act reporting],” Smith said.

“And that one person is supported by one individual on a campus of 10,000.”

The second core finding showed that prevention and education programming are not enough. The firm found training required of all staff and students does not do enough to change the culture of campuses, and employees lack an under-

standing of reporting responsibilities. The third core finding was that there is no consistent process for reporting, resolving, documenting or tracking “other conduct of concern,” with anything that does not amount to a policy violation but is brought to a Title IX office’s attention often left unaddressed.

The fourth finding was a lack of accountability throughout the system, with no formal standards, processes for implementing systemwide policy, or quality control and assurance in place.

“Accountability is a significant issue across the system,” Smith said. “Few cases reach formal resolutions, and very few are formally investigated.”

A Journal analysis of Title IX reports from all 23 CSU campuses for the 20202021 academic year, the most recent for which they are available, found that only 4 percent of the nearly 1,000 reports that year were formally investigated, with someone held responsible in only 28 percent of cases investigated.

Cozen O’Connor’s fifth key finding is a trust gap exists across all CSU campuses. On Humboldt’s campus, this gap was publicly addressed when the Academic Senate passed a resolution in support of survivors

and charged that University President Tom Jackson Jr.’s comments that Title IX was designed to keep allegations of misconduct between closed doors during a fall welcome address led to “additional harm and a feeling of distrust.”

“We’ve heard extensively from students, staff and faculty about distrust of senior leadership and compliance processes across universities,” Gomez said. “The most common refrain we heard at the CSU is a perception of institutional bias. The default conclusion is that campus administrators act to protect the institution rather than care about individuals who have been harmed.”

In a statement on the Cozen O’Connor presentation, CSU Interim Chancellor Jolene Koester described the audit as an opportunity to better the CSU system to align with its core values.

“While the work will indeed be difficult, it also presents a unique and invaluable opportunity to strengthen our culture of compliance and our culture of care as we strive to create and sustain safe, welcoming and inclusive environments across the CSU, where students, faculty and staff can thrive personally, professionally and intellectually, free from discrimination, ha-

rassment and sexual misconduct,” Koester said.

The California Faculty Association has critiqued Cozen O’Connor’s investigation as a “performative review by a risk management law firm” and “not enough to fix systemic sexual violence issues.”

Jackson, like his colleagues across the CSU System, was tasked to form a team of students, faculty, staff stakeholders and university Title IX and DHR staff to apply Cozen O’Connor’s campus-specific recommendations. Amanda LeBlanc, the executive director of the North Coast Rape Crisis Team, which runs Cal Poly Humboldt’s Campus Advocate Team, noted that Jackson did not include survivor-forward advocacy organizations on the implementation team.

“It’s concerning because it means the survivor voice may not be represented,” LeBlanc said. “Survivors are speaking out. Staff, faculty and students are all speaking out and saying Cal Poly Humboldt doesn’t feel like a safe space.” l

CSU Faces Reported $1.5 Billion Budget Gap, Mulls Tuition Hikes

The nation’s largest public four-year university is presently incapable of affording itself.

A 70-page report nearly a year in the making by leaders of the California State University details the massive gulf between the money the system currently generates from tuition and receives in state support and the actual costs of educating its nearly 500,000 students and employing 60,000 workers.

All told, CSU’s revenues account for only 86 percent of the system’s overall costs — a gap of nearly $1.5 billion in 2021-22. Support for student services is the least funded relative to costs, at just 68 percent. The analysis is based on a highly technical set of assumptions and system data. That gap doesn’t even include Cal State’s roughly $6 billion backlog in construction maintenance projects.

A central premise of the report is that the CSU cannot afford to do the things it should be doing to help students succeed.

“The model explains why there never seems to be enough money to pay for what the universities think they need,” the report states.

As a consequence, ongoing tuition hikes are likely forthcoming. Likely more system tumult awaits, as unions are threatening to strike.

The report’s findings were presented to the Cal State Board of Trustees on May 24.

“This is a lot like climate change,” said Julia Lopez, a CSU trustee and co-chairperson of the working group that wrote this report. “If we don’t heed the warning signs right now, we’re going to find ourselves in a world of hurt down the line. So that’s what we’re trying to do, to get ahead of that.”

The Cal State’s revenues from tuition and state support will be 29 percent to 41 percent less than what the system needs by 2030 unless the system finds new sources of money, warn the report’s authors, a mix of CSU trustees, provosts, campus presidents, senior system staff, a leading professor,

outside consultants and the president of the student association. And that’s “even with aggressive assumptions about increases in state General Fund and tuition.”

These cost gaps don’t necessarily mean cuts to key services are imminent. “It’s not really about what cuts we’re going to make, it’s … opportunities that we do not have to invest in additional things that we should be investing in,” said Jeni Kitchell, executive budget director for the CSU.

A major cost driver for the CSU is its status as a national engine of social mobility. Its students are often low-income or the first in their families to attend college, and require more academic support to graduate, as well as added money to afford food, housing, mental health and other basic needs, Lopez said.

Part of the report’s analysis included how much it would cost to improve the graduation rates of low-income students and students of color by examining the few campuses that have made the most progress in closing equity gaps. The analysis also introduced new data that’ll be closely watched, like the cost of providing each major.

This sobering analysis echoes what the state’s nonpartisan bean counters, the Legislative Analyst’s Office, said in January: Cal State’s tuition and state support will fall $100 million short of its likely costs in 2023-24.

But the solutions the report describes will be bitter pills to swallow. Annual tuition hikes are necessary to increase revenue for the CSU, the report argues, reversing course for a system that has raised tuition only once in the last 12 years.

Even steep tuition hikes, however, won’t be enough to stabilize CSU’s finances.

CSU’s trustees should adopt a tuition-hike plan by September, the report said.

The CSU Chancellor’s office is doing just that. It will present a tuition hike to the board in July after consulting with the Cal State Student Association, a system requirement. The plan is to have the board approve

Plea Deal Nets Body Discovery: The body of 32-year-old Kiera Lynn Foley, missing since 2021, was recovered earlier this month from the “outskirts of Eureka” as a part of a plea deal with her killer, Jason Miller, 42. Miller pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the case and agreed to lead investigators to her body as a part of the deal, which is expected to see him sentenced to serve 25 years in state prison.

a tuition-hike policy in September that would kick in fall 2024, said Steve Relyea, CSU’s chief financial officer.

“From the student perspective, I don’t think we’re ever going to be fine with tuition increases,” the association president, Krishan Malhotra, said in an interview Tuesday, but added that a predictable model students could budget for could be workable.

How much more revenue the CSU would generate from tuition hikes depends on whether the system continues its enrollment slide or begins attracting additional students. Another factor is whether tuition goes up 3 percent for every student annually, or increases once by 5 percent for every new incoming class of students, similar to the policy the University of California adopted in 2021. The Legislative Analyst’s Office credits those tuition hikes for U.C.’s stable finances.

Prominent Foster Parent Arrested: The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office arrested William Scott Peugh on suspicion of committing lewd acts against a minor. Peugh and his wife, Heather, have served as foster parents since 2012, taking in dozens of children, and have been featured in county videos and social media posts aimed at recruiting local foster families. Officials declined to answer whether any foster children lived in Peugh’s home at the time of the alleged crime. POSTED 05.24.23 ncj_of_humboldt

Under either model, revenue soars by as much as $765 million annually compared to no tuition increase at all by 2030 — assuming the trustees approve tuition hikes for 2025, the report said.

Still, tuition hikes alone may not be enough to plug CSU’s operating hole. The system’s revenues were $1.5 billion below total costs in 2021-22, according to the report. A tuition hike would only generate between $150 million and $200 million in its first year.

For new undergraduates, the hikes proposed by the report would equate to a tuition increase of $5,000 or $8,000 over a five-year period by 2030, though about 60 percent of Cal State’s undergraduates don’t pay tuition because they receive state and campus grants due to their low family incomes.

Murderer Sentenced: Austin M. Medeiros, 28, of Rhode Island, was sentenced May 24 to serve 25 years to life in prison for the murder of Emily Lobba in her Kneeland home last year.

‘A Single Purpose’

By Allie Hostler/Two Rivers Tribune newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

At the mouth of the Klamath where the river jets cool, fresh water into the Pacific Ocean, several carved wooden salmon were dipped into the waters and ceremoniously blessed before beginning their symbolic journey upriver, carried with prayer by runners on foot.

Runners passed the carved salmon batons for more than three days and 350 miles up the Klamath and Trinity rivers as part of The Great Salmon Relay Run, as it was originally named decades ago, when founded by several Hoopa Valley High School students in response to the 2002 Klamath River Fish Kill — a catalyst for aggressive river restoration efforts led by local tribes.

“When we started this run 20 years ago, I know I never thought it would continue 20 years,” one of the run’s original founders, Tasha James, said when runners met at the confluence of the Klamath and Trinity rivers on May 19. “It’s amazing to see everybody here — everybody

from the very beginning. Everybody who has grown this Salmon Run to what it is today. And, we’re continuing to grow. While we’re running and while we’re gathering, we are in prayer and with our best intentions.”

Joined by co-founders Erika Tracy, Kayla Begay and Chelsea Reed, James, who is now the assistant director of the nonprofit organization Save California Salmon, thanked everybody in both the Yurok and Hupa languages before the group parted, some to continue up the Klamath River to the headwaters in Oregon, and others up the Trinity River to its confluence with the South Fork of the Trinity.

Along the way, the run passed through Yurok, Hoopa, Karuk territories in California and Klamath Tribes’ territory in Oregon. Hundreds of community members and students joined in, while even more supported with food, water, a cheerful honking of their horn, roadside music, signs and artwork.

Local tribes come together for the 20th annual Salmon Run, the last that will pass the Klamath dams

Klamath River leg of the run, said, “The Salmon Run has always been an opportunity for our river communities to actively participate in collective consciousness regarding the health of the river and the salmon. It’s really beautiful to see the people of the Klamath watershed uniting and sharing a common passion to uphold the strength of this ecosystem.”

The annual run coincides with the start of the spring salmon run on the Klamath River, the fish having just begun their yearly journey up the Klamath and its tributaries, signaling the arrival of a ceremonious time for local tribes, all of which rely on the salmon’s return to the rivers for subsistence and ceremony.

Ryan Reed, a youth intern with Save California Salmon, who helped coordinate the stretch of the run spanning from Somes Bar to Iron Gate Dam, said the run brings tribes together in a special way.

“The intertribal unity that comes out of this run, for a single purpose, in the form of activism for our salmon is truly significant,” Reed said. “We all come from different communities and sometimes have different beliefs, but we all come together for a single purpose that is to take care of our ecosystem and our salmon.”

Although this year’s relay run was celebratory after 20 years and major milestones in Klamath River dam removal efforts have been reached, salmon runs are in trouble. A combination of poor river conditions, poor ocean conditions, overfishing and parasite outbreaks continue to decimate fall run Chinook populations. Even though the entire California ocean fall run salmon fishery has

been closed this season, a mere 26,000 adult spawning salmon are expected to return to the Klamath. Many of the adult salmon expected to return this year didn’t survive infancy. Conditions on the Klamath in spring of 2021 allowed the parasite Ceratonova shasta to spike. In April of that year, C. shasta infection rates in

juvenile salmon went from 0 percent to 78 percent. By mid-May of 2021, the infection rate was at 98 percent, signaling one of the largest juvenile fish kills on record on the Klamath River.

ly fall months for decades. Stagnant, warm water and nutrient runoff fuel the harmful cyanobacteria blooms, which can cause serious illness and even death if ingested. Many hope dam removal on the Klamath and subsequent restoration efforts will mark a huge step toward healing the river’s ailments.

This year’s Salmon Run will be the last that travels past the four dams on the lower Klamath River, which are slated for removal in what’s been billed as the largest dam removal and restoration effort in United States history. In August of 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(FERC) released its final Environmental Impact Statement for dam removal. Three months later, in November, FERC unanimously approved electric utility PacifiCorp’s surrender of the Lower Klamath Project License and the decommissioning of the four dams.

The Klamath River Renewal Corporation, a private nonprofit organized for the purpose of overseeing removal of the dams, announced in March that it had begun dam removal activities, starting with Copco 2, which is expected to be removed by September of this year. The three larger dams, Copco 1, J.C. Boyle and Iron Gate, are expected to be removed by the end of 2024. Major restoration efforts are underway simultaneously and will continue for several years after the dams come down.

Reed said he recalls when dam removal was the unpopular opinion.

“Dams are coming down as we speak,” he said. “It’s a revolutionary time. It’s nothing less than phenomenal — the time, sacrifice and commitment from all of the communities to do what’s right and get these dams removed. It goes to show how strong we are in this region and what can be done when we unify.”

On the Trinity River, after running a

combined 16 miles in Yurok and Hoopa territories, Tori McConnell, who was recently named Miss Indian World, said that leg of the run has a personal significance for her.

“Thinking about the damming and fish kills that have occurred on the river — one of the main problems has been the temperature on the Klamath has been too high, allowing disease to proliferate and the salmon suffer,” she said. “The Trinity River has provided cold water to the Klamath for all of these years that the dams have been in place. That’s something we need to acknowledge and think about.”

Danielle Frank, the lead coordinator on the Trinity River section of the relay run, said it was inspiring to see so many young people involved in the Salmon Run and learning from its significance.

“It was inspirational to see how many awesome youth came together to get this 30-mile section done today,” Frank said. “We do this to honor the salmon and run the way they should be running [but can’t] because of all of the obstacles they face on their journey.” l

The Road to Glory

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

For the 55th time, the wild and wooly wheels of the Kinetic Grand Championship rolled through the Arcata Plaza, down the sandy dunes at Dead Man’s Drop, into Humboldt Bay (and hopefully back to shore) and southward on the long trek to Ferndale. After three days of escalating challenges, roadside repairs and grueling pedaling, Trashlantis crossed the Main Street finish line to become this year’s Grand Champion.

Theirs was not the only glory won, with the first-place awards for Engineering and Art going to Team Goddess and Glorious Gaggle, respectively. Sparky the Kinetic Foster Dog made the trip in nine hours and 24 minutes to win first place for Speed. And it seems only fitting the firstplace award for Pageantry went to The Knights Who Say Bee.

Even the unlucky can gather glory, as in the case of the Golden Flipper Award for taking a spill in the sand, which went to Rat Rod. The seafaring version, the Golden Flippish, went, fittingly enough, to Grateful Squid. Throughout the colorful chaos, photographers Ollie Hancock and Mark McKenna were there to capture the highlights. See their full slideshows at northcoastjournal.com

Hot Action Continues for Pacific Halibut Anglers

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

With no salmon season, Pacific halibut continues to be the focal point out of Eureka, Trinidad and Crescent City after another week of sizzling action. Eureka charter and sport boats fishing a few miles on each side of the entrance in 290 to 300 feet of water are reporting quick limits. The small Trinidad fleet has done equally as well straight out of the harbor. Crescent City has also gotten in on the action with a hot bite reported in 260 feet of water straight out of the harbor. And it’s looking like the only thing that will slow down the onslaught is if you can’t get to the fishing grounds. And that’s exactly what’s happening this week. But that could be a blessing in disguise. The 39,520-pound quota has the potential to get chewed up quickly with the fleet consistently putting halibut in the box. The best case scenario would be for the quota to last at least through the summer. The way our weather pattern is shaping up, the wind may just see to it.

Through May 21, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has projected 3,233 pounds have been caught. To track the quota, visit wildlife. ca.gov/conservation/marine/pacific-halibut#31670772-in-season-tracking.

Fish for free this weekend in Oregon

Oregon will be having a Free Fishing Weekend June 3 and 4. On those two days, no license, tag or endorsement is required to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon. This applies only to waters already open to fishing, crabbing or clamming. All other regulations, such as bag limits, still apply. Visit dfw.state.or.us/news/2023/05_ May/052323.asp.

The

The Pacific halibut bite continues to be

good, with most boats able to score limits, reports Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “Most of the boats are fishing between the 45 and 52-line in 290 to 300 feet of water. I haven’t been to the Cape in a few days, but the boats that have made their way down report a solid rockfish bite, catching a wide variety including blacks, browns, vermilions and canaries.”

Trinidad

“Pacific halibut are the main attraction right now with the majority of my guys coming into town for a shot at one of these fish that most people think they have to travel to Alaska to catch,” said Tony Sepulveda of Shellback Sport Fishing. “And the bite’s been really good this week, with limits every time we’ve tried. Some smaller 10 to 15-pound fish are definitely in the mix, but 30-pounders have been common and we’ve had a couple over 50 on Shellbacks deck already.

Early season fishing on the local Trinidad reef is typically a slam dunk for limits of jumbo black rockfish. This year is no exception with fish coming over the rail hot and heavy.

The remote waters lingcod/ rockfish runs kicked out ridiculous quality this week. A beautiful grade of lingcod running up to 30 pounds while old growth canaries up to 7 pounds stole the show on the rockfish front.”

Shelter Cove

According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport fishing, rock fishing has been great out of Shelter Cove. “It’s only taking a few drifts to get limits most days,” said Mitchell. “The lingcod are a different story and we’re lucky to get one per rod. Most of the effort on rockfish has been outside the Old Man. A few boats fished Pacific halibut on Friday at Gorda, but it was fairly

slow. We had three fish, another boat had four, and I believe only two more were caught between the fleet.”

Crescent City

According to Kevin Hooper of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, all the fisheries are starting to catch fire right now. “The Pacific halibut bite has been crazy good,” said Hooper. “Not a lot of big fish, but the catch rate is pretty high. Straight out in 250 to 260 feet of water has been good. The rockfish bite is excellent per usual at both of the reefs and the Sisters. The redtails are biting well too, with Kellogg beach being the top spot. We’re also seeing quite a few rockfish and lingcod coming off the jetty.”

Chinese Again in Humboldt, Part Four

An interview with Lee Eeso of Astoria

By Alex Service history@northcoastjournal.com

Editor’s note: The following article contains racist language in quotations from historical newspaper articles. It originally appeared in the Ferndale Enterprise.

At the beginning of October of 1906, anti-Chinese labor activists across Humboldt were in uproar over an Oregon-based company’s attempt to bring a mixed-race workforce to the new salmon cannery at Port Kenyon, near Ferndale. Four Japanese men and six young white women remained at Port Kenyon while their Chinese colleagues were evicted. In an article headlined “CHINAMEN ARE COMING TO EUREKA TODAY,” The Humboldt Times of Thursday, Oct. 4, reported on the more-or-less peaceful expulsion of 23 Chinese men, who would be housed on Tuluwat, then called “Gunther’s Island,” in Humboldt Bay for their own safety, until the steamer Roanoke sailed on Sunday, returning them to their homes in Astoria, Oregon.

The Times stated, “The gentlemen who have been instrumental in ejecting them, who by the way, number some 600 or 700, feel that all is well.” One of these “gentlemen” was quoted as rejoicing that now “all the Pacific slope realizes that Chinese will not be permitted in Humboldt County, and … the people of California, Oregon and Washington realize that the stand taken some twenty-one years ago by the county still holds good.” This “stand” was the “unwritten law” that declared, as past and future Eureka mayor W.S. Clark had expressed at an Oct. 1, 1906, public meeting, that Humboldt was “a white man’s country and no place for Chinese.”

As the Times reported, on Wednesday, Oct. 3, Sheriff N. George Lindsay and District Attorney Otto Gregor met in Ferndale with the stockholders of the Port Kenyon Cannery, who reluctantly voted to send away the Chinese workers. (This vote was not unanimous, the Times noted, with one stockholder voting against the motion.) The Times explained that Gregor and Lindsay then met with “the boss Chinaman,

who spoke very good English … Mr. Gregor informed the Chinaman that as far as the law was concerned, he had a perfect right to remain and work, and that all possible would be done to protect him and his men. Nevertheless, the conditions were also pictured, and the boss Chinaman was quite willing to take his men and depart.”

The Times informed its readers that

… the Chinese will be kept on Gunther’s Island in the old cookhouse, where tables and bunks are all afforded.

A deputy sheriff will be placed in charge of them to see that they are in no way molested. Although there is little or no likelihood of their being in danger, it was thought well to have an officer on the island to keep the Mongolians company.

The Times also noted that “the financial part of the question has to be considered. It will cost some money to ship them on the Roanoke, and it will cost something to feed them on Gunther’s Island until the arrival of the steamer. Therefore, subscription lists will be circulated this morning and today, and it will readily be determined, in a practical way, how badly the citizenry wishes the ejectment of the Chinese.”

Parenthetically, that same Oct. 4 issue of the Times contained a report on the recent meeting of Eureka High School’s debating club. At that meeting, club members debated on the topic, “resolved, that the Chinese should not be excluded from Humboldt County.” As the Times reported, “Stephen Langford and Professor James upheld the affirmative, while Henry Stern and Ernest Ballard spoke for the negative. The decision was awarded the affirmative on the ground that there is no legal way to exclude the Chinese from Humboldt soil.”

The next day the Times described the 23 Chinese men’s arrival in Eureka on Thursday’s afternoon train:

Several hundred men, women and

children gathered at the station to get a glimpse of the Chinamen, but few were afforded the opportunity as the car was switched upon a spur leading to the Railroad wharf, and left there until the crowd had become wearied and left. The engine from the Arcata train then coupled on to the box car and took it to the foot of F street, where the McLean launches conveyed the Chinese to their quarters upon the island.

Photographer Jesse Meiser, as the Times would report on Oct. 7, was in the crowd that day. The Times observed that “Meiser, the scenic artist, did not let the Chinese episode escape him, for he took pictures of the box car … and the curious crowd of Humboldters surrounding it. Mr. Meiser has reproduced the scene on postal cards, which will be most appropriate for mailing to friends in the East.” (Many of these postcards now belong to collectors, museums, and institutions such as the Cal Poly Humboldt library.)

While the Chinese workers were awaiting their return journey to Astoria, a Times reporter interviewed Lee Eeso, the “boss Chinaman” of the cannery’s workforce. In part of an extensive interview, Lee said he had “long heard no Chinamen were allowed here. He knew full well that twenty years ago ‘Chinese kicked out and no more come.’” The interview continued,

He said that all his men were expert cannery workers, having worked on the Columbia River for five, ten, fifteen and twenty years. Their duties are to butcher the fish and to prepare the meat to be put in the cans; they also make the cans and put the covers upon them after they are filled. The white girls lay the fish in the cans and the Japanese

wash the cans in solutions, preparatory to packing the fish in them.

Lee is a contractor; he bosses all the men and pays them himself. He came to Port Kenyon under contract to receive 45 cents per case for canning salmon and was guaranteed 12,000 cases. When asked if his men were frightened at the immense crowd that gathered he replied in the affirmative. He himself understood perfectly why the crowd gathered and especially the children, all desirous of seeing for the first time a Chinaman.

The Chinese boss stated that it takes a man several years to master the trade of canning fish; that one season a Chinaman would do one thing, such as butchering, the next season would work at another task, and so on until all branches were learned. Then a man would be a competent canner.

… A Chinaman is not exactly a fool, and Lee Eeso has learned many things during his twenty years residence at Astoria. He knows full well that when a contract is made by a company it must be carried out to the letter. … Therefore when the directors of the cannery came to him and told him that they could not give him and his men the three months work and pay him some $5,000 or $6,000, because the public of Humboldt wanted no Chinamen in the county, the Chinaman replied that he had a contract for so much work and so much money; that they had come down from the Columbia River to do the work; and that they must have the money according to the contract.

The Oct. 5 Times article also took pains to defend the reputation of the six young white women who were part of the cannery’s workforce, noting, “An impres-

sion has … gone out through the county detrimental to the character of the white girls employed in the cannery at Port Kenyon, which is a great injustice to the girls themselves, to the management of the cannery and to the Ferndale people.” District Attorney Gregor, the Times reported, had met with the “girls” and stated, “they are all respectable women. They have neat tidy rooms at the cannery, stay together, and the worst that can be said of them is that they came into the county to work in the cannery with Chinese.” The Times continued, “In Astoria they have been accustomed to work in canneries, together with a large number of other girls. Girls whose parents are good and respectable people, holding the esteem of the community, work in the canneries at Astoria, just like girls all over the fruit belt work in packing houses with Chinese.” The young women were “mostly of a foreign birth,” some speaking English and others not. Gregor “was introduced to them, talked with them, and found them, so far as he could judge, to be perfect ladies.”

Lee Eeso and his 22 workers sailed in steerage quarters on the Roanoke on Sunday, Oct. 7, one week and a day after they had arrived in Humboldt. Even this portion of their journey was not trouble-free. The Oct.10 Morning Astorian reported that the Roanoke developed mechanical troubles en route and arrived in Astoria many hours late on the foggy evening of Tuesday, Oct. 9. The Astorian noted that the Roanoke’s passengers included the “Chinese cannerymen, taken to Humboldt County, Cal., for service in the Tallant canneries, and who, owing to the popular prejudice there, were not allowed to fulfill their contracts and had to be brought home.” On Oct. 13 the Astorian reported that the Tallant Co. had “sent a lot of people to their Port Kenyon cannery in California,” to replace “the Chinamen they were compelled to bring back from there.”

It seems that neither the Astorian nor the Humboldt County newspapers mentioned the four Japanese workers leaving the Port Kenyon cannery before the end of the three-month-long salmon season. The most probable conclusion from this is that the four Japanese men remained working at the cannery throughout the season, along with the six young white women. Former and future Eureka Mayor Clark may have stated the dominant opinion when he declared that Humboldt County was “no place for Chinese.” Apparently, however, the county’s anti-Asian racism had not yet expanded to decree that Humboldt was also no place for Japanese. l

Follies, Diversions and Crowds

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

It’s interesting how associative memory works. I can think of someone I know or have known, and that thought will pass through like a windy cloud, shapeless and fleeting. However, if I am in a crowd of people (say, for instance, the Arcata Plaza on Kinetic Saturday) and a familiar face pops up, all of a sudden there’s music and intense feeling. And not just the good stuff, either. No, I’m talking about something viscerally annoying, like the ’90s (or any) version of “Cotton Eye Joe”. As I have passed the decade mark since my return to Humboldt, scanning a local crowd is like flipping through satellite radio stations: There’s going to be a mix and not all of it pleasant. And there will also be the warm and vibrant people with whom a shared sense of life is a comforting delight. I’m talking about the Sinatra or Mancini tunes that swirl into your vision like the steam from a perfect cup of … you fill it in. I don’t have the best social poker face but I do try to be diplomatic, so I have never actually told anyone they remind me of the musical equivalent of a war crime. I have, when appropriate, told my friends they have a nice soundtrack about them and I prefer to focus on those interactions. I don’t put too much thought into the musical impressions, if any, I have given others. We all mean so many different things to different people, like human Rashomon plots, we scuttle around through the lives of others, in a world where you can never truly see the back of your own head. I will quote Emily Dickenson, with a few noisy exceptions, “Beauty crowds me till I die.” Or at least I hope so. Have a nice week.

Thursday

It’s finally June, a favorite month of the year for many. Considering my March birthday and their summer solstice wedding date, I can only assume that June was a favorite month for my parents. If you share that sentiment, you could certainly do a lot worse celebrating June’s inception than by heading over to the Mad

River Brewery at 6 p.m. for some free patio entertainment courtesy of Wild Abandon

Friday

With the students gone and the population reduced to locals and tourists, the music and party scene will be gathering a few tumbleweeds in the coming weeks. Tonight is still fine though, if you like reggaeton, anyway. DJ Gabe Pressure is putting on Fuego, a night of electronic Latin dance music at the Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight at 9 p.m. and $10 gets you in the door.

Saturday

Last night and tonight are the final performances of the Eureka Symphony’s ‘’22-’23 season, and it is going out with a real powerful number. Mozart’s Requiem is widely recognized as one of the most moving pieces of music in world history, commissioned by a grieving Austrian Count as a memorial for his young bride, who died at the age of 20 on Valentine’s Day, 1791. The composer himself would not live to see its completion, dying at 35 in December of that year. The most famous section is the Lacrymosa, but the piece in its entirety is a funereal masterwork. Among the four singers tonight is tenor and native Humboldt son David Belton Powell, who has carved a career for himself from California to New York City. Both nights’ performances will be at 8 p.m., with tickets ranging from $19$49, and rush tickets available at the box office at 7 p.m.

Sunday

Two shows of note today, neither overlapping, which ain’t bad for an offseason Sunday. First up at 3 p.m. at Humbrews, there’s an all-ages matinee show by Naive Melodies, Humco’s premier Talking

Heads tribute act. Kids under 13 are free and it’s a mere $10 for everyone else. Four hours later at the Miniplex, you can catch Olympia, Washington’s Debt Rag, an alt-punk supergroup of sorts featuring members of Grass Widow, Preening and Girlsperm. Tickets are $10-$15 sliding scale (gas isn’t cheap on this coast) and local electro pyros Drip Torch provides regional support.

Monday

Los Angeles garage rock power trio Blurry Stars is making a stop on its tour to play some hi-octane, high quality indie rock for the people of our county. The spot is the Siren’s Song Tavern, which means I have to dust off my John Dee scrying ball (created by a proprietary list of components that can usually be procured via the internet, or at your local Micheals and Ace Hardware for under $100), and ask the Daemon-Keepers of the Twilight Pathway for the time and price. Though the answers are vague and cloudy (I don’t speak Enochian with genuine fluency), I would suggest heading over to the gig at 8 p.m. with $7 in pocket for the door.

Tuesday

It’s 6/6/23 (and 2 x 3 = 6), so we are dealing with a Luciferian date today. Well, what’s out there in our current mediascape that’s more infuriatingly stupid and demonic than AI? (I’m not counting Elon’s Twitter-curated faceplant of Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announcement,

because that was pathetic and funny). Anyhoo, Savage Henry is hosting a show tonight at 9 p.m. where the gimmick involves human comedians reading AI generated jokes. ($5). I’d like to see it the other way around, with a Battlebots format, with robots getting stymied reciting human jokes, but I suspect the production costs would be a little too high.

Wednesday

I have unfortunately broken my homemade John Dee scrying ball in the exertion required to discover the details of Monday’s show (it started sparking almost immediately, whereupon I tossed it into my neighbor’s decorative pond, where it is, as of press time, still smoking and bubbling like a submerged Tesla Model S). So I have to rely on more conventional means (the internet) to report on tonight’s gig at the Siren’s Song Tavern. Luckily, there are quite a few concrete nuggets of solid info to go by. The main artist is New York’s Sam Greenfield, who plays an upbeat style of sax-y jazz that straddles the line between avant and easy listening. The show is at 8 p.m., and local support will be provided by experimental guitarist Sam Borello The only question left is $, but a 10-buck cap is usually a safe bet these days. This one should be fun! l

Heroine Withdrawal

By Linda Stansberry screens@northcoastjournal.com

HIGH DESERT. Maybe we don’t need another detective series. Maybe every red herring has been fileted by now and it’s time to call it a day. I have watched a lot of TV. It has all been done. Around the time a psychic detective solved a murder by seeing through the eyes of a haunted doll, I began wondering: Has the genre peaked? Should I find a different obsession? Am I going try to get into sci-fi now? Maybe. But I kept watching that psychic detective show because it starred Patricia Arquette. There’s something mesmerizing about Arquette, with her creaky-sweet voice and diamond stare. Maybe it’s just because I know she was once married to Nick Cage, but I’ve come to think of her presence as that of some underrated, take-no-shit deity, the kind that shows up on the worst day of your life with a playlist and a shovel. A heroine, in other words, for the times we’re living through.

High Desert, which currently has six episodes streaming on Apple+, feels less like an Arquette vehicle than it does a world high on her potent, mischievous charm. Arquette plays Peggy, a one-time drug trafficker turned theme-park saloon girl turned detective (a career trajectory that happens in a dizzying first episode). Peggy is a hot mess with a heart, simultaneously grieving her recently deceased mother, trying to stay off opiates, reunite with her frustrated siblings and kick-start a new career by bullying an established local detective (Brad Garrett) into taking her on as a protégé. If that sounds like a lot, we haven’t even gotten into her estrangement from her adult son, theatrical ambitions, encyclopedic knowledge of art history, her best friend’s legal problems or her convict husband (Matt Dillon), from whom she just can’t seem to get divorced. Yeah, it’s a lot. But set against the surreal palette of Joshua Tree National Park, it all somehow works, like a small-screen psychedelic art festival suffused with Arquette’s weird and anarchic joy. TVMA. APPLE+.

NEVER HAVE I EVER. If you are justifiably afraid of getting into a series that might lead to another possessed doll plot (unlikely but not completely off the table, I’m sure), you might consider catching up on the Netflix comedy-drama series Never Have I Ever before the fourth and final season airs June 8. Yes, it’s a high school love triangle series that I suppose has an intended audience of not-adults, but have you seen TV intended for adults lately? It’s all feuds and workplace microaggressions and psychic dolls. Give me the kid stuff, please!

Created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, the series stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar, a 15-year-old Indian American girl who’s hoping to recover socially from a disastrous freshman year by hooking up with the hottest guy in school, Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet). Along the way she’s alternately supported and shunned by her best friends Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) and Eleanor (Ramona Young), as well as ruthlessly mocked by her lifelong academic rival Ben Grossman (Jaren Lewison). I’ll let you work out who the third side of that love triangle might be.

But what helps Never Have I Ever break free from the teen drama pack is its whip-smart writing, and inspired use of third-person narration. Devi, a hot-head super achiever, has tennis legend John McEnroe delivering her inner monologues. The result is often hilarious, with our heroine’s exterior betraying only a lip quiver or wide eyes as McEnroe screams her internal rage at the viewer, an extremely relatable experience for anyone who has ever been a teenage girl. Over the course of the series Devi learns to both own and safely express her anger as she comes to terms with her grief over the death of her father and her troubled relationship with her mother, grow alongside her friends and juggle would-be romantic partners. The

series, which is loosely based on Kaling’s own childhood, has a diverse ensemble cast with an ambitious amount of subplots and character development. In different hands this might feel jumbled or rushed, but Never Have I Ever travels smoothly at the pace of a teenage day, where five crises before breakfast is absolutely to be expected. TV14. 30M.

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3351, 3352

I, Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows:

That at close of business on June 30, 2023, by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 2022-23, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2022-23 shall be declared tax-defaulted.

That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien.

That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2023, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2023.

That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request, by Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707) 476-2450.

I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

Amy Christensen Humboldt County Tax Collector

Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 24th, 2023. Published in the North Coast Journal on June 1st, June 8th, and June 15th 2023.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL

PROPERTY

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362

Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell.

1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule.

2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2023, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector.

All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2023, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION

The Assessor’s Parcel/Assessment Number (APN/ASMT), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the Assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The Assessor’s maps and further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the Assessor’s office.

Lissa Carol Anderson August 28, 1946-May 17, 2023

On May 17, 2023 Lissa Carol Anderson left friends and family in her final transition.

Lissa, born Linda but later in life changing her name to Lissa, was born on August 28, 1946 to Gerald Gard and Mary Tesi Gard. She grew up in Fresno, enjoying family outings to Dinky Creek and the family cabin in the Sequoia National Park. After high school, Lissa moved to Humboldt to attend then Humboldt State College and earned a bachelors degree in nursing. That was followed by a masters degree in nursing from UCLA and a return to Humboldt County where she began working for Humboldt County Mental Health, where she met John. Among the adventures they had in their 30 years together were many backpack trips in the Trinity Alps and Marble Mountains with their dogs Wiggie and Sweetface, having their daughter Shelby and spending summers with family and friends on their houseboat and ski boat at Trinity Lake. Among Lissa’s cherished experiences was her time singing with the local group, the Babes. She also sang with Threshhold Choir, who performed for her in her final days.

Lissa is survived by she daughter Shelby Anderson and her sister Sandi Maroon.

A memorial event is being planned for Lissa this fall.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): History tells us that Albert Einstein was a brilliant genius. After his death, the brain of the pioneer physicist was saved and studied for years in the hope of analyzing the secrets of why it produced so many great ideas. Science writer Stephen Jay Gould provided a di erent perspective. He said, “I am less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” I bring this to your attention, Aries, in the hope it will inspire you to pay closer attention to the unsung and underappreciated elements of your own life—both in yourself and the people around you.

spun legends about the search for a precious chalice with magical qualities, including the power to heal and o er eternal youth. Sober scholars are more likely to say that the Holy Grail isn’t an actual physical object hidden away in a cave or catacomb, but a symbol of a spiritual awakening or an enlightening epiphany. For the purposes of your horoscope, I’m going to focus on the latter interpretation. I suspect you are gearing up for an encounter with a Holy Grail. Be alert! The revelations and insights and breakthroughs could come when you least expect them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Human life sometimes features sudden reversals of fortune that may seem almost miraculous. A twist in my own destiny is an example. As an adult, was indigent for 18 years—the most starving artist of all the starving artists I have ever known. Then, in the course of a few months, all the years I had devoted to improving my craft as a writer paid o spectacularly. My horoscope column got widely syndicated, and I began to earn a decent wage. I predict a comparable turn of events for you in the coming months, Taurus—not necessarily in your finances, but in a pivotal area of your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) I am weary of gurus who tell us the ego is bad and must be shamed. In my view, we need a strong and healthy ego to fuel our quest for meaning. In that spirit and in accordance with astrological omens, I designate June as Celebrate Your Ego Month for you Geminis. You have a mandate to unabashedly embrace the beauty of your unique self. I hope you will celebrate and flaunt your special gifts. I hope you will honor your distinctive desires as the treasures they are. You are authorized to brag more than usual!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) One study reveals that British people own a significant amount of clothing they never wear. Other research suggests that the average American woman has over a hundred items of clothing but considers just 10 percent of them to be “wearable.” If your relationship to your wardrobe is similar, Cancerian, it’s a favorable time to cull unused, unliked, and unsuitable stu You would also benefit from a comparable approach to other areas of your life. Get rid of possessions, influences, and ideas that take up space but serve no important purpose and are no longer aligned with who you really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) June is Dare to Diminish Your Pain Month for you Scorpios. I hope you will aggressively pursue measures to alleviate discomfort and su ering. To address the physical variety, how about acupuncture or massage? Or supplements like boswellia, turmeric, devil’s claw root, white willow bark, and omega-3 fatty acids? Other ideas: sunshine, heating pad, warm baths with Epsom salts, restorative sleep, and exercise that simulates natural endorphins. Please be equally dynamic in treating your emotional and spiritual pain, dear Scorpio. Spend as much money as you can a ord on skillful healers. Solicit the help of empathetic friends. Pray and meditate. Seek out in activities that make you laugh.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A hungry humpback whale can hold more than 15,000 gallons of water in its mouth at once—enough to fill 400 bathtubs. In a funny way, their ability reminds me of you right now. You, too, have a huge capacity for whatever you feel like absorbing and engaging with. But I suggest you choose carefully what you want to absorb and engage with. Be open and receptive to only the most high-quality stu that will enrich your life and provide a lot of fun. Don’t get filled up with trivia and nonsense and dross.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In July 1969, Leo astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon. But he almost missed his chance. Years earlier, his original application to become part of NASA’s space exploration team arrived a week past the deadline. But Armstrong’s buddy, Dick Day, who worked at NASA, sneaked it into the pile of applications that had come in time. I foresee the possibility of you receiving comparable assistance, Leo. Tell your friends and allies to be alert for ways they might be able to help you with either straightforward or surreptitious moves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Funny story: A renowned Hollywood movie mogul was overheard at a dinner party regaling an aspiring actor with a long monologue about his achievements. The actor couldn’t get in a word edgewise. Finally, the mogul paused and said, “Well, enough about me. What do you think of me?” If I had been in the actor’s place, might have said, “You, sir, are an insu erable, grandiose, and boring narcissist who pathologically overestimates your own importance and has zero emotional intelligence.” The only downside to speaking my mind like that would be that the mogul might ruin my hopes of having a career in the movie business. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I hope you will consistently find a middle ground between telling the brazen truth to those who need to hear it and protecting your precious goals and well-being.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When faced with important decisions, most of us benefit from calling on all forms of intelligence. Simply consulting our analytical mind is not su cient. Nor is checking in with only our deep feelings. Even drawing from our spunky intuition alone is not adequate. We are most likely to get practical clarity if we access the guidance of our analytical mind, gut feelings, and sparkly intuition. This is always true, but it’s extra relevant now. You need to get the full blessing of the synergistic blend. PS: Ask your body to give you a few hints, too!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Great shearwaters are birds that travel a lot, covering 13,000 miles every year. From January to March, they breed in the South Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Africa and South America. Around May, they fly west for a while and then head north, many of them as far as Canada and Greenland. When August comes, they head east to Europe, and later they migrate south along the coast of Africa to return to their breeding grounds. I am tempted to make this globetrotting bird your spirit creature for the next 12 months. You may be more inclined than ever before to go on journeys, and I expect you will be well rewarded for your journeys. At the very least, I hope you will enjoy mind-opening voyages in your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Has your intuition been nudging you to revise and refine your sense of home? Have you been reorganizing the domestic vibes and bolstering your stability? I hope so. That’s what the cosmic rhythms are inviting you to do. If you have indeed responded to the call, congratulations. Buy yourself a nice homecoming present. But if you have resisted the flow of life’s guidance, please take corrective measures. Maybe start by reorganizing the décor and furniture. Clean up festering messes. Say sweet things to your housemates and family members. Manage issues that may be restricting your love of home. ●

Homework: Tell a loved one a good secret about them.
