can of chewing tobacco, a Sprite and the promise of a meal — that’s what it took to bring an hours-long standoff with an armed fugitive to a peaceful end. Well, that and an abundance of patience and calm, underpinned with the steady resolve to give the man every last chance to make the next right decision. A surreal scene unfolded shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 in the minutes after Matthew Dilley agreed to put down his pistol and surrender to police. As the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office lifted a shelter-in-place order and removed road blocks that had effectively shut down a McKinleyville neighborhood for several hours, Dilley and Undersheriff Justin Braud sat next to one another on a curb, chatting, as Dilley — who multiple officers had held at rifle-point just moments earlier — took a dip and sipped his Sprite. Across the street, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Samantha Karges told the Journal negotiators intended to make good on delivering the items Dilley had been promised in negotiations, and would make a stop at Taco Bell before booking him into jail. It was a moment of humanity, the kind that can be elusively rare in critical incidents. The day before, a similar situation ended violently. Officers from the Arcata Police Department and the California Highway Patrol had responded to a call about a man walking with a gun near Mad River Road and arrived to find him strolling with a briefcase in hand and a pistol on his hip. According to witnesses, the man refused to put down the briefcase or comply with officers’ requests. Over the course of about 15 minutes — and across the span of a quarter-mile as the man kept walking, trailed by a slow moving procession of police cars — the man reportedly refused officers’ directives. According to a briefing by Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal, the man eventually pulled his pistol and brandished it before at least one officer opened fire and fatally shot him. These incidents came after Robert Anderson was shot and killed by multiple officers in Crescent City on Aug. 25 after he picked up a kitchen knife, lunged at a sheriff’s deputy and ran toward a woman standing nearby. Footage from two deputies’ body-worn cameras — released by the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office on

Sept. 11, after the Journal filed a California Public Records Act request — shows officers giving Anderson space, repeatedly urging him to step away from the knife and to continue talking with them. In a moment of apparent mental crisis, he chose otherwise, with deadly consequences. As gut wrenching as it is to watch, it’s important to note that the video footage released of Anderson’s shooting is the only thing that allows us to discuss it with a common set of facts — a clear record of exactly what happened, rather than the kinds of dueling accounts of officers and witnesses that can leave an incident forever shrouded in uncertainty. And we have Assembly Bill 748, which went into effect in July of 2019, to thank for that, as it requires law enforcement agencies, with limited exceptions, to release video footage of shootings and other use-of-force incidents in which police cause “great bodily harm” to a suspect within 45 days of the incident. We’ve written exhaustively in these pages about the value of such videos, arguing that as painful and as awful as they are, their public release is vital to rebuilding the public trust that has obviously splintered over time, both locally and nationally. Allowing a community to see these incidents up close, uncomfortable and complicated as they are, is the only way we can have grounded conversations about them, the only way we can talk meaningfully about not just whether a shooting was justified, but whether it perhaps could have been prevented. In the coming weeks, we’ll have that conversation about the shooting on Mad River Road — a conversation that’s only possible because agencies have invested in video technology and lawmakers have mandated they be transparent with the footage that technology yields. But let us take a moment to be grateful that it’s not a conversation we also need to have about Dilley and that, instead, under Braud’s command, a steady hand was enough to win the day and save at least one life, that given yet another chance, Dilley finally made the next right decision. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

‘Publicize These Statistics’ Editor: In reading Thadeus Greenson’s COVID surge article in yesterday’s NCJ (NCJ Daily, Sept. 9), I note that he too found the startling statistic that the county keeps semi-hidden deep in its records: “Since the first confirmed breakthrough case in February, one fully vaccinated resident has died of COVID-19 while 45 unvaccinated residents have died from the virus. The same time span has seen 31 fully vaccinated residents hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to 197 unvaccinated residents.” Why the county does not publicize these statistics puzzles me. These numbers need to be widely publicized if the unvaccinated are to be convinced to get the shot. I suggest a banner headline every week, if not on the front page at least on the page with the COVID coverage, with these (or the updated, current) statistics might just reduce some of the vaccine reluctance, thus getting us all a little closer to the end of this disastrous pandemic.

‘Triage’

As cases surge, angst over students’ return to classrooms rises By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n the face of a COVID-19 case surge that reached record levels in August and diminished staffing, Humboldt County Public Health is triaging response efforts to focus on contact tracing in schools, skilled nursing facilities and other congregate living situations, as well as continued vaccination efforts, officials announced at a Sept. 8 press conference. “As you are well aware, we are seeing the worst of this pandemic since the very beginning and we are in an emergency,” Public Health Director Sofia Pereira said. “We are seeing a surge in our hospitals, we are seeing a surge of deaths in this community, and the impacts of this surge go beyond the walls of our local hospitals. We are triaging. We are having to triage just like our hospitals are triaging.” Health Officer Ian Hoffman said that with COVID-19 now endemic in the local community — meaning it is everywhere — traditional contact tracing efforts are no longer an effective strategy to mitigate the disease’s spread. Contact investigations seek to work with people who have tested positive for the virus to track down and isolate those they may have exposed and end chains of infection. But with so much virus circulating in the local community — and many people simply refusing to participate in contact tracing efforts — officials say the strategy is no longer effective. “We are beyond the point of trying to contain this,” Hoffman said. “It’s here and

it’s going to continue to spread throughout the community.”

A Shift in Strategy

With disease so widespread, Public Health is shifting its strategy and will now simply reach out to new cases electronically with a brief questionnaire via email or text message, preserving contact tracing staff to refocus efforts on at-risk populations. Specifically, Hoffman said contact investigations will now focus on preventing and limiting outbreaks in schools and congregate living facilities, including the jail and skilled nursing homes, following a statewide trend. And Hoffman stressed that schools will be a priority in this new approach, calling keeping kids in classrooms “absolutely imperative.” Hoffman said school staff will remain at the forefront of day-to-day contact investigations, identifying students and staff who have tested positive for the virus, determining close contacts and notifying families. But in situations where there is an outbreak — which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control defines as three cases confirmed in a single setting or cohort over a 14-day period — Public Health staff will work with the school to both mitigate its spread and determine whether there are gaps in the school’s mitigation measures or additional ones that can be implemented. Public Health has not identified any

school outbreaks in Humboldt County to date, Hoffman said, but added “there was kind of a perfect storm” with the convergence of the beginning of the school year and the emergence locally of the highly contagious Delta variant. “As Sofia mentioned, this is triage,” he said. “Our No. 1 goal is to keep those schools safe.”

A Data Divide

Some parents locally have been clamoring for schools and Public Health to release more data about positive cases in local schools, and an online petition asking Hoffman to add school-level case data to the county’s dashboard had gathered more than 700 signatures when the Journal went to press. “We need to know this information so that parents/caregivers can make informed decisions about the risks of in-person learning and so school staff can make informed decisions around their health,” the petition states. Asked about the petition at the Sept. 8 press conference, Pereira said she understands parents concerns and desire for more information. “First of all, I want to acknowledge the

core of what that petition is asking, which is that they want their kids to be safe. Public Health, our schools, we want that as well,” she said. “We want our kids to be able to go to school safely. I’ll just say from personal experience, giving birth and having a child in a pandemic, and raising a child the first year of his life in a pandemic, I know that you would do anything to protect your child. So I understand the desire to know, ‘Is it safe for my kid to go to school right now?’” But when it came to adding the additional data to the dashboard, Pereira said it’s not currently feasible. She said the county does not currently have a uniform reporting structure for all of the county’s 30 school districts and more than 70 schools to report case data to Public Health, though it is working with districts to that end. “That is quite a challenge,” Pereira said. “I’m not saying that it’s a never, but at this point, with the resources we have, I can’t commit staff to that endeavor. … In terms of adding something to the dashboard, we just don’t have the staff capacity to take that on.” In an email to the Journal, Humboldt County Superintendent of Schools Chris Continued on next page »

Hartley said the Office of Education (HCOE) does not manage any of the data collection and reporting systems used by Public Health. “HCOE is able to help facilitate conversations, development of procedures, training and any assistance possible for schools developing capacity to meet all the massively challenging demands placed upon them at this time,” he said. “The real heroes here are our district superintendents, principals, teachers and staff who are running their programs while also managing completion of a tremendous amount of work related to contact tracing, communication with families and staff, COVID testing, and so much more.” Hoffman, who has previously said that in-person instruction has been shown to be safe as long as mitigation measures like mandatory masking, increased ventilation and physical distancing are in place, said he currently has two children in Humboldt County schools. “I want to emphasize that I feel safe sending my kids to school in our county because I’ve worked closely with these educators and I know they are following the protocols, they are doing what they can to keep these kids safe.” Hoffman also urged concerned parents to communicate with their children’s schools about mitigation measures and positive cases, “because that’s who’s keeping your kids safe right now.”

While Hoffman made clear in his Sept. 14 presentation to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors that local school children have been testing positive for COVID-19, he stressed that he believes that is because more students are being tested for the virus, not that it is spreading in schools. The county dashboard upgrades case data by age groups on Fridays, so there’s a lag in reporting. But the latest available data does show an increase in new cases among the 0-9 and 10-19 age groups in recent weeks. As of Aug. 20, before most local schools were back in session, the 0-9 and 10-19 age groups accounted for 7.7 percent and 12.7 percent of local cases, respectively. In the ensuing three weeks, Humboldt County confirmed 1,467 new COVID-19 cases. Of those, 11 percent were among residents age 0-9 and 15 percent were among those 10-19 years old. In the most recent week for which data is available — Sept. 3 through Sept. 10 — children 0-9 accounted for 11.7 percent of cases, while residents age 10 to 19 accounted for 12.4 percent. So there does seem to have been a

significant uptick in positive cases among Humboldt County’s youngest residents, but whether that’s simply a result of more kids getting tested amid the return to school and a surge in cases across the community or their return to classrooms is difficult to say. In an interview with the Journal, Hartley and Assistant Superintendent Colby Smart said HCOE is focused on helping districts meet the needs of the new year, from implementing testing and contact tracing programs to keeping stocked on personal protective equipment for everyone on campus and launching long-term independent study programs for families who have opted not to send their children back to the classroom. Smart said a survey of local districts found 57 percent have onsite testing programs up and running for staff to meet a state mandate that all teachers and staff be fully vaccinated or tested regularly, while others are still working toward that end. But Hartley said rapid antigen tests have become scarce. “The issue is supply,” he said, explaining the recent national surge in cases fueled by the highly contagious Delta variant, coupled with a host of new testing requirements across all sectors, has created a shortage of testing supplies. Some local districts, meanwhile, are already launching programs to regularly conduct surveillance testing of students whose parents consent in an effort to proactively contain any potential strains of infection on campus. Hartley said HCOE is also working to assemble a “health alert response team” that will include nurses and a medical clerk to help districts manage specific “COVID health needs,” which he said could include everything from contact tracing and testing efforts to simply providing substitute teachers. Hartley said the pandemic has “definitely enhanced the labor shortage for all employee groups” that makes schools function, from bus drivers and para-professionals to substitute teachers, while also adding a new layer of mandates and protocols. “It has put a massive strain on our workforce, which we consider very fragile at this point,” Hartley said, saying he hopes the entire community will “show each other some grace” as schools work through the challenges of keeping students safely back in schools. ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Fatal Police Shooting in Arcata

umboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said officers had been using de-escalation techniques for 15 minutes with an armed suspect on Mad River Road the morning of Sept. 9 when he brandished the firearm and was fatally shot. Flanked by local California Highway Patrol command staff and Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn, and standing before a small group of reporters just up the road from where the shooting occurred, Honsal said the multi-agency Critical Incident Response Team investigation remains in its very early stages. He said it wasn’t currently known how many officers fired their weapons, how many shots were fired during the incident or how many times the suspect was hit. “We’re not going to release a whole lot of information because we don’t know a whole lot,” Honsal said. The sheriff said a CHP unit was the first on scene responding to a 911 call reporting a suspicious man with a firearm on Hendon Road near Miller Lane. The officer located a suspect matching the description — a white male adult in his early 30s wearing a leather jacket with a pistol in a holster on his hip — at 11:05 a.m. in the

1000 block of Mad River Road. Additional patrol cars from CHP and the Arcata Police Department also arrived on scene within minutes. The officers tried “de-escalation techniques,” Honsal said, but the man ignored their commands and kept walking down Mad River Road toward Mad River Beach. Multiple people who live along the road told the Journal this morning they saw a slow procession of officers — some walking alongside creeping patrol cars with guns drawn taking cover behind their passenger-side doors, and others in their vehicles — following the man, urging him to drop a briefcase he was caring and follow their commands. But the man reportedly did not comply and kept walking, at times walking backward while talking to the officers, telling them to leave him alone. This continued for about a quarter-mile, Honsal said, adding that about 15 minutes passed between officers’ first contact with the man and when they shot him. The man was pronounced dead at a local hospital 52 minutes after officers made first contact with him, according to the timeline offered by Honsal. The shooting was captured on video from both dash-mounted patrol car and

body-worn cameras, Honsal said. Officers on scene had less-than-lethal weapons at their disposal, Honsal said, though whether any were used and to what extent is still under investigation. As Honsal spoke, evidence technicians from multiple agencies — including the California Department of Justice — processed the scene of the shooting, which remained cordoned off with yellow tape, for evidence. Inside, a line of police vehicles involved in the incident — two APD patrol cars sandwiched between CHP cars — remained parked in a row, with a

Standoff Ends in Surrender: A nearly threehour standoff between police and wanted fugitive Matthew Dilley ended peacefully just before 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 10, when Dilley gave up his gun and was taken into custody. Police had held Dilley — who was armed with a pistol and wanted on warrants for charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment and other crimes — at rifle point for two hours.

Otter Joy

A collaborative art project thrives along the Six Rivers By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

Photos by Mark Larson

t’s almost as if the North Coast Otter Art Initiative created a community ecosystem unto itself, with more than 100 beautifully painted otter sculptures scattered throughout Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino, Siskiyou and Trinity counties, mirroring the way the region’s iconic six rivers connect the five North Coast counties. With the contribution of 108 artists, 60 sponsors, hundreds of businesses, the thousands of “otter spotters” seeking out the colorful statues, four student volunteers, wildlife professor and head of the River Otter Citizen Science Project Jeff Black created an initiative that merged art and science to highlight the last 24 years of river otter research, as well as the watersheds created by the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen and Eel rivers. And the North Coast Otter Art Initiative wasn’t only a celebration of life, water and otters, but a massive fundraiser for future river otter research in the form of paid internships for wildlife students.

The majority of the otter sculptures — minus those going to Native communities — were sold at auction. As the Journal went to press Sept. 14, Black said the initiative had already raised about $125,000 and would bring in an estimated $150,000 by the end of bidding the following day. “It’s (been) really hard to be joyful in the last couple of years,” Black said with a small laugh. “For me, working on this gave me something to do. And so many people said, ‘You’ve given me something joyful to think about this summer.’ Seeing grandparents with their grandkids do the activity booklet, collect sightings and then seeing those kids looking at the marsh for wild otters is what’s so cool — that the art project might encourage some of these children to become artists but also wildlife biologists one day. And to see the joy on children’s faces when they’re collecting otters’ names and jumping up with joy because they find one was so fun. The sense of celebration was certainly in the air.”

TROPHY CASE

Gene Cotter’s Basketball Jones By Rod Kausen

“

1001 Main St. in Fortuna

707.725.6734

www.eelvalleyappliance.com

hen one day my momma bought me a basketball and I loved that basketball; I got a basketball jones.” — “Basketball Jones,” by Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong I was at Centerville Beach one day about 25 years ago and a man came running down the beach with his Boogie Board. I yelled and he came over to chat. I had known him since his high school days. Gene Cotter was an excellent athlete who ran cross country and track and played soccer. However, it was basketball where he found stardom at South Fork High School. I was coaching teams at Fortuna High School but we were friends, of course; he was friends with everyone. We talked until he stopped mid-sentence, looked up at the waves down the beach and yelled, “Got to go, surf’s perfect!” He took off with his always handy board, sprinting down the soft sand. Cotter grew up in Redway with a group of tricksters like Rio Anderson, who enjoyed a vanishing small-town freedom that makes me nostalgic for my years growing up in Ferndale. Although Steve Ball, who’s a college basketball coach now, was a little younger, he could keep up and became a lifelong friend. Anderson says of Cotter, “He was my best friend but he had 100 best friends.” The boys played pick-up basketball any chance they could get and the hippies would wander down from the hills and play with them. Cotter would harass them and lead the scamps. That’s how he played every sport: getting into his opponents’ heads but not in a mean-spirited way. The kids traded baseball and basketball cards relentlessly and between them somehow Cotter ended up with most of them, sometimes trading a card back that belonged in another kid’s stack. Cotter’s mom, a German woman, raised five kids pretty much by herself, giving them lots of freedom but still ruling with an iron fist. Legend has it they went all the way through school with only four days of missed school between them. Most people knew Cotter as “Geno,” a Southern Humboldt kid with a basketball jones and a love of reggae. He learned to use both hands with acrobatic moves and starred for the Miranda Junior High School Mustangs. In high school, he won a game

with a left-handed hook, despite being right-handed. He would dribble between his legs before school and set a record of 300 bounces between telephone poles without a miss. In Cotter’s senior year at South Fork High School, he and Rick Mayhew were a backcourt tandem unit with razzle dazzle, shooting skills and intense defense, winning a conference and qualifying for the state tournament in Division 5. Cotter was named to the all-state team. The South Fork gym was packed for those games and it was a tough home crowd to play in front of. A year older than Anderson, when Cotter left to attend College of the Redwoods, it was downhill for his cohort in Redway. The neighborhoods were less safe by the early ’90s and Cotter, the livewire optimist of the community, had moved on. Cotter played at CR and then at Oakland’s Holy Names University on scholarship with an intensity others were not used to. He played and coached that way. He was Geno: instigating competition, talking smack. But the oft-repeated phrase “everybody liked him” was never truer — just sometimes not until the game ended. He came back to his roots in the late ’90s and coached the eighth grade boys at Miranda Junior High School and the South Fork High School varsity girls. However, it was seasonal and he wanted basketball full time. In 2000, along with his two older brothers Ed and Will, he started an indoor basketball summer camp called Basketball Jones. In a van painted basketball orange with a hoop on the bumper, the coaches would sometimes stop and tie the hoop up to play and listen to reggae. Will said, “At camp, if you were 6 years old, he would make you have fun and learn. If you were a serious high school player, he would push you.” That and his willingness to give his knowledge and his time made Gene a great teacher. Many serious players did come through the camp; many became college stars and coaches. Basketball Jones camps grew in number, first around the North Coast and then around the state, with a staff he’d trained

through trial and error. The camps are still the epitome of how one should be run, supporting kids of all backgrounds and sending them off with written evaluations of their skills, progress and things to work on. Cotter was a solid entrepreneur, but it all grew from his love of coaching and giving back. Basketball Jones become what a camp should be. He left our area for love — his wife, Tiffany — and moved his base to the Hollister/Santa Cruz area, where he became as beloved as he was up here. His tragic death in a car crash in July of 2016 at the age of 44 left a void in the lives of thousands of people, including his wife and two children. His family and friends committed to carrying on his legacy and passion with the Live Like Geno Foundation, the mission of which is to inspire passion, purpose and positivity for economically challenged individuals. Started and run by his two brothers, his wife and many friends, it carries on his approach to life in the service of others. The foundation has replaced numerous playgrounds and school basketball courts, including, first and foremost, the Redway school courts on which Cotter grew up. It outfits schools and communities with nets for baskets, as well as support for others who have suffered loss. Of course, there are still the Basketball Jones Camps, where Gordie Hunt runs the show locally and Ace Koski is the overall coordinator — two chips off the coaching block of the Gene Cotter coaching mindset. Cotter had charisma and love of sharing what he knew, and he could bring people together. Seth Collins, another friend he grew up with, said, “Geno had this unique ability to make everyone he met feel like old friends. I am so proud that my son got to know basketball from Geno.” Cody Love is making documentary about Cotter’s life that will include interviews with people recalling his kick-back lifestyle full of fun, intensity and service. Some mention how intensely he listened to what other people had to say. Unless, of course, the surf was up. l Rod Kausen (he/him) is a retired teacher and coach.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Plenty of Kings in the Klamath

341 West Harris St., Eureka 707 445-3138

poletskis.com

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

ince just before Labor Day weekend, the Klamath River has been stuffed with salmon. The number of jacks has been amazing and we’re seeing some nice adult kings in the river, as well. The bulk of the run started a little late this year, most likely due to the unusually high water temperatures. Smoke-filled skies and cooler weather finally began cooling the water just enough, and the salmon came charging. For the last three weeks, the fishing has been nothing short of spectacular. To see the number of fish in the river is certainly good news, especially considering the numbers of adult salmon returning in previous years has been so dire. Since the complete salmon fishing closure in 2017, adult salmon returns have fallen well short of the 40,700 minimum floor escapements. In 2019, a return of approximately 87,000 was predicted but the actual returns were only 37,270. In 2020, CDFW forecasted a modest 48,274 natural area spawning salmon would return but only 26,190 were counted. This fall, 31,574 natural area spawning adults are forecasted to return. So, while it’s easy to speculate this year’s returns could be more robust due to the harvest rates, it’s way too early to celebrate. We won’t know the size of the run until sometime early next year. But it does feel good to see the river full of fish again. The lower Klamath adult salmon quota was met Sept. 7. You can still keep two jacks (less than or equal to 23 inches) per angler. Anglers may still fish for adult Chinook salmon in other sections of the Klamath Basin, including the main stem of the Klamath River above Weitchpec and the entire Trinity River, until their quotas are met. Anglers may keep track of the Klamath and Trinity river quotas by calling (800) 564-6479.

ON THE TABLE

Blackberries for the Wily

And an end of summer pie By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

want to write about my soft-focus childhood memories of blackberry picking, a basket on my arm as Disney butterflies danced around me. But as happy as my recollections of berry picking are, it was always a sly business of risk and reward, greed and gluttony. The house I grew up in was defended on one side with thick, thorny arcs of menacing blackberry vines. If it was Disney, it was closer to the supernatural brambles Maleficent sent to thwart the prince. But over this patch, I was the battle-scarred, purple-fingered queen. My size was not, for once, a disadvantage. I filled Tupperware containers and paint buckets with fruit gone fat in the shade below everyone’s knees. I’d go back over sections the adults left seemingly bare, snaking my little hands deeper in the vines to pull out clusters, plucking only the softest ones with my fingers to avoid any snapping back, while I kept my forearm steady in the prickly, green tunnel of vines. It was like playing Operation with real stakes. The first thorns that caught my skin or hooked my T-shirt were always a shock, but the zing of those scratches dulled. I learned to freeze instead of flinching when I felt a thorn. I’d calmly tug a prickly green whip or a woody tooth from my hand before scanning for the next score. The spoils of blackberry picking, I found, went to wily, the steady-handed, the perseverant and the ones to whom glossy syrup over ice cream, jam-heavy slices of buttered toast and fresh berries with sugar and milk were worth just a little more pain. One of the few neighbors we talked to was a short, wiry old man named Mr. Fitz. He’d walk with my brother and me and our dog if he came upon us heading toward the reservoir to fish, always with a golf club for a cane. And despite our obviously ample blackberry supply, he’d come by once or twice a summer with a giant coffee can of berries as a gift for my grandmother. Each time, she’d cook them down with sugar — that candy smell, thick in the house for days — and strain out the seeds, then pour the dark syrup into old

jam jars we’d deliver to Mr. Fitz, who’d pretend to be surprised. Like I said: the wily. Last weekend I took my daughter to raid the berries in her grandparents’ backyard. I watched her small hands reach gingerly around the thorns, daunted only by layers of spider web. She called me over to a tangle of vines, breathless, pointing frantically at a cluster heavy as a bunch of grapes, deep in the shady interior and just a little too high for her. I reached in until the thorns caught the sleeve of my T-shirt — grimacing, I reached farther. As I grazed the berries with my fingers, she shouted encouragement: “Remember, the blood will be washed away by the delicious taste of blackberries!” She wasn’t wrong. And so, to toast the waning summer with one last heavy coffee can of blackberries — some Himalayan, some native Pacific — I offer a pie that crosses seasons with late berries and early apples. The crust is one adapted from my trusty Joy of Cooking butter and shortening recipe and Nicole Rees’ excellent Baking Unplugged, in which she disabuses us of the notion that a drop too much water will toughen your pie. Just don’t overwork it and let the dough rest a couple hours to relax the gluten (yeah, I don’t totally understand that), yielding tender flakiness without the stress of patching together crumbly, dry dough. Using vodka in place of some or all the water helps, too, as it evaporates faster than plain water — for more flaky air pockets — and won’t make your pie taste boozy. Throw the dough together in the morning or the night before, and pick those berries while it rests in the fridge. The sliceable, jammy filling, lumpy with whole berries, is partly thickened by a finely grated apple instead of just cornstarch (a tip from my wily sister-in-law), which keeps it from getting gummy, running all over the plate or making your bottom crust soggy.

Blackberry Pie

The recipe is easily doubled if your berries are bountiful. If using frozen berries, measure and make the filling while they’re still frosty. Taste the berries: If they’re a little bland, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling. Ingredients For the crust: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling ¾ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled ½ cup shortening, chilled 8-10 tablespoons ice water or chilled vodka 1 egg for brushing Demerara sugar for sprinkling, optional For the filling: ¾ cup sugar ¼ cup cornstarch ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon cinnamon 1 apple, peeled and grated on the smallest holes of a box grater 5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries Make the crust at least two hours ahead. Whisk together the flour, salt and sugar. Using the largest holes on a box grater, grate the butter into the flour, tossing it to coat the shreds as you go. Add the shortening in small spoonfuls. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, quickly work the two fats into the flour mixture until it’s the texture of sand with lumps the size of peas. Sprinkle the chilled water and vodka a tablespoon at a time into the mixture, using a rubber spatula to mix and press it. Keep adding and mixing until it starts to hold together as a dough. Use your hands to turn it in the bowl, incorporating any

dry mixture left at the bottom, sprinkling more water or vodka as needed. Form the dough into a ball and split it evenly. Press the halves into 4-inch discs and wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. After the dough has rested, flour your work surface and roll your dough into a 9-inch circle and lay it in your pie pan. (This is infinitely easier with a pie ring, a plastic circle you place your dough in and roll to the edges.) Return it to the refrigerator. Make the filling. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon and grated apple. Gently add the berries, folding them in until they’re coated. Scrape the filling into your pie shell. Roll out the other disc of dough and cover the pie. Weave a lattice or use a sharp knife to make 5 or more cuts in a solid top crust to release steam. Brush the crust with some of a beaten egg and sprinkle with Demerara sugar. Chill the pie 15 minutes. Place a baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and heat it to 425 F. Bake the pie on the baking sheet (it may bubble over and the sheet will also help your bottom crust brown) for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375 F and bake for another 50-55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the juice is thick and bubbly. Cool for as long as you can stand before serving. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

SCREENS

A Sharp Eye

James’s Wan’s Malignant By John J. Bennett

Waking up even a single minute before your alarm.

screens@northcoastjournal.com MALIGNANT. I was a vocal detractor of James Wan before I knew his name, long before I would ever see a single frame of one of his movies. Saw (2004), his collaboration with Leigh Whannell that would spawn untold sequels, let alone copies, was the starting point of one of the most successful careers in modern movies. At the time, it also embodied, in my rheumy, addled mind, everything that was wrong with the cinema of the moment. I don’t remember if I extended the criticism to culture at large; probably, knowing me. Still immersed in a quasi-academic exploration of the medium, working my way through classics of world cinema and doubling down on grime-crime, I still hadn’t come to any sort of an understanding about the vitality and importance of horror as a genre. I would not pretend, even now, to be a true student, but time has made me realize the error of my reactionary ways. At the time, though, I was hung-up on the notion that “horror-porn” was exploitation without art, that it ignored influences and simply existed as a cash-in, a quick and dirty conduit to the inner fears and perversions of the audience. I don’t think I was entirely wrong back then, except in seeing those descriptors as pejorative and in my ignorance of the long history upon which Saw and its ilk drew. In my celebration of the genesis of American crime cinema, I ignored the troubled sibling that would eventually overshadow it. Both despite and because of my contrarianism, I reacted against the popularity of that new wave of horror and inadvertently aligned myself with some school of “criticism” founded on a sense

Malignant

of moral superiority, rather than a study of the work. So that was foolish of me. Years passed and, as cinema continued to die, I began to understand that horror might be our only hope. I would also come to adopt this attitude regarding national politics but that’s a topic for another day. The 2010s saw Wan, Whannell, the Blumhouse imprint and a few other quick-witted upstarts emerge as both outliers of and increasingly legitimate players within the creaking Hollywood structure. Wan in particular again and again proved himself as a stylist with an astoundingly broad palette, a student of the past who’s confident enough of his own abilities to recast it through his own lens without merely duplicating. As is the case in art, commerce, politics and the world at large, dominant culture took notice. Wan got the keys, directing Furious 7 (2015) and Aquaman (2018), both billion-dollar-grossing juggernauts. And then he went back to the lab and made another horror movie. That, of course, is Malignant and, like most of Wan’s movies and scary stories in general, would suffer from over-description. For the uninitiated, this is likely not your entry point. It’s as much a grisly slasher/body horror picture as it is creepily atmospheric, with few or no reservations about liberally splattered blood. Following a domestic violence incident and the seemingly unexplainable death of her husband, Madison (Annabelle Wallis) begins to see horrific visions. More to the point, she experiences intense dissociative episodes at the scenes of horrific murders, wherein she is utterly incapable of action.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

The murders are real, of course, and her psychological explanation doesn’t hold much water with detectives Kekoa Shaw (George Young) and Regina Moss (Michole Briana White). But as Madison’s sister Sydney (Maddie Hasson) begins to investigate Madison’s past, the true horror of their predicament is gradually illuminated. It would be hard to make a case for this as ranking among Wan’s best; I’m willing to hear arguments, but I think they would be rationalizations. It’s fun, scary, gross horror and at that it excels. It is also markedly more interesting and creative than most movies, most years. Even though it won’t stand among the director’s top-tier work, I celebrate it. This in no small part because he, one of the most commercially successful directors in the world, knows himself well enough to go back, time and again, to the type (or types) of stories that he loves and loves to tell. That joy comes across onscreen, even — especially? — while people are getting stabbed in the face. R. 111M. BROADWAY, HBO MAX, MILL CREEK, MINOR. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

WASHED UP

An Ugly Clam by Any Other Name By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com

y buddy Castration Jones is here to judge whether the northwest ugly clam (Entodesma navicula) is poorly named. You may recall that previously, Mr. Jones, who is an authority on poorly named animals, demonstrated that the soupfin shark is poorly named. “Welcome back, Castration.” “Thanks, Mike. First, I checked and can confirm this creature’s globally accepted common name is northwest ugly clam. But is it actually ugly?” I said, “I’m going with ugly. It’s already difficult to be pretty if you’re a clam. I mean, if you called our drabbest local butterfly the northwest ugly butterfly, it would say, ‘Kiss my ass, I’m a butterfly.’ But because the ugly clam lives in holes and cracks in rocks, it has difficulty being pleasingly symmetrical like a butterfly. The shells actually conform somewhat to the rocks as they grow, so the margin of its shell often has characteristic notches that look accidental. Unexpected notches are difficult to ignore.” “Hold on there, Mike,” Jones responded. “That’s insulting. And who are you to talk? You have unexpected notches scattered across your face, too.” “Exactly!” I said. “That’s why I understand. That makes it OK for me to point it out. What does a butterfly like you know? Stick to beauty, Castration. Now, living in a rock can also cause the shell to grow bent and lumpy. Therefore, the ugly clam is also ugly because it often has odd bumps and twists — unlike the sleek shell of the razor clam or the perfect heart shape of the cockle.” “Hold on there,” said Jones. “Look at your ugly bumps and twisted bits. How can you criticize?” “It isn’t criticism. It’s a statement of fact,” I said. “And here’s another fact: When you find an ugly clam’s shell washed up on the beach, the shell is often cracked and it may continue to self-destruct if you bring it home. None of the pretty sea-

50 and Better shells do this. And like our local mussels, the ugly clam has a horny cuticle covering the outside. As the cuticle dries, it cracks and flakes like a nasty old scab.” “Huh. All I can say is you need to look in the mirror and use some moisturizer,” said Jones. “Well, why don’t you use that pretty mouth of yours to tell us something about the northwest ugly clam that isn’t ugly?” I suggested. “It’s a fact that real beauty is found on the inside, so let’s turn over that shell. See? It has a pleasing latté-like shiny smooth inside with a slight wash of iridescent mother-of-pearl. That’s objectively beautiful! It even feels silky smooth.” “Sure,” I said, “but you know those wiry byssal threads mussels produce to attach themselves to rocks and each other? The ugly clam has those, too — like a scraggly old beard.” “Again, Mike, it’s like you’re describing yourself. Now consider a live ugly clam’s pair of siphons,” he said. “Not only are the siphons usually a pretty red, they allow the clam to interact with the world outside its rock. The clam sucks food into the incurrent siphon and ejects waste out the excurrent siphon. And the clams are hermaphroditic, so the siphons are where they release and receive both sperm and eggs. Beautiful!” “Fine,” I said. “We’ve each made our case. In your expert opinion, it the northwest ugly clam poorly named?” “Stop there.

FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT 21−00579

Nicholas Andrew Frank Nicholas Andrew Frank was born in Yokohama, Japan in 1943. With his parents Lou and Irene and his sister Katherine, Nick survived near starvation in Karuizawa during WWII. On July 14, 1947, Nick disembarked in Honolulu as stateless immigrant, speaking Japanese and English. So began Nick’s interesting life that included being a star Air Force technician in Holland, building a winery in the Republic of Georgia, and extensive business travel in Russia, Japan and Asia. As a father he made sure to be done with his job early every day to be available to his daughters Vanessa and Heather whom he adored. Loyal and proud, Nick was an anchor for them. Later, after a career in Silicon Valley and starting his own business, Bare Essentials, Nick moved to Humboldt County where he met and fell in love with Nina Groth. Together they spent the next 20 years in their Trinidad home above the expansive Pacific ocean. Nick loved the beauty that Humboldt has to offer and relaxed by hiking on the Prairie Creek State Park trails and on local beaches with Nina. Enjoying the simple pleasures of life, Nick could make an everyday event special, for example; every meal was a celebration. He appreciated all the local music venues (and not having to wait in lines). He found great joy attending the concerts of The Eureka Symphony , The Eureka Chamber Music Series and TBAM: Trinidad Bay Arts and Music festival. Scientist, mathematician, entrepreneur, Nick was a problem solver and always had time to listen to others, wanting to help them succeed and realize their dreams, whether in business or personal life. He would give tirelessly of his time. Nick was also an avid gardener and when at home, spent much of the time planting bushes, trees, flowers and a huge vegetable garden with an adjoining fruit tree orchard as well as a separate elaborate berry garden. He dearly loved the local farmers markets, farmers and nurseries where he would always buy more than he needed. Sociable and opinionated, Nick was curious about other people’s viewpoint of the world and was always eager to converse or debate about life. There were many lively conversations over coffee, whether at a bakery or when he hosted wonderful lunches on the bluff in Trinidad as he loved to do. Nick got pleasure from giving other people enjoyment - if he could put a smile on your face he was happy. Nick will be greatly missed by his wife Nina, his beloved daughters Vanessa and Heather, his six siblings whom he cherished and their respective families, as well as his many relatives and friends.

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Tell me why you HAD to do the thing that some people question or misunderstand. https://Newsletter@FreeWillAstrology

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you,” wrote author Carlos Zafòn Ruiz. Let’s take that a step further: “Other people are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you.” And even further. “The whole world is a mirror: You only see in it what you already have inside you.” Have fun playing with these meditations, Aries. The coming weeks will be a fertile time to explore how thoroughly your experiences reflect the activity transpiring in your own brain. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some spiritual teachers say things like “I am not my body” or “This body is not me.” I don’t understand that. It’s an insult and disparagement. It’s dismissive of our bodies’ sublime beauty and our bodies’ inspired role in educating our souls. I agree that we are not ONLY our bodies. I agree that a part of us is eternal, not confined to flesh and blood. But hell yes, I am my body. You are your body. It’s a glorious aspect of who we are. It’s a miraculous creation that has taken millions of years to evolve into the masterpiece it is. So yes, you are your body, and yes, this body is you. I hope you love your body. Are in awe of it. Are pleased to be inside it. If anything is lacking in this department, now is an excellent time to make corrections. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I know someone who kisses the way a flower opens,” wrote poet Mary Oliver. I’d love for you Geminis to have that experience. The astrological omens suggest it’s more likely than usual to occur sometime soon. Other experiences with a better-than-average chance of unfolding in the coming days: allies who speak of intimate subjects in ways that resemble a flower opening; partners who co-create with you in ways that resemble a flower opening; spiritual helpers who offer guidance and help in ways that resemble a flower opening. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I lie to myself all the time, but I never believe me,” writes Cancerian author S. E. Hinton. Ha! As a Cancerian myself, I confess to the same crime. But I am looking forward to a shift in the coming weeks. I suspect we Crabs will be inspired to cut way back on the fibs we try to get away with. You know what that means, right? We’ll be more inclined to trust ourselves, since we’ll be more likely to tell ourselves the truth. Our decisions will be shrewd, and our self-care will be rigorous. Hallelujah! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): My object in this horoscope is to stimulate your imagination in ways nobody else in your life will. You need an influence like me, from outside your inner circle, to administer friendly, playful shocks to jolt you out of habitual ways of thinking. Here we go. 1. If you were to stow seven parts of your soul in seven objects, what objects would they be? 2. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be? 3. If you were a character in a fairy tale or a movie, who would you be? 4. If you could travel to a place that would teach you what you most need to know, where would it be? 5. If you had a magical animal as your special ally, what animal would it be? 6. If you could sing a song with uncanny healing power for someone you care about, what song would it be? 7. If you could improve your relationship with some part of your body, what would it be? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “There’s nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over,” writes Virgo author Gail Carson Levine. Adding to that encouragement, I offer you the following authorizations: There’s nothing wrong with seeking a pleasure you love over and over; or doing a necessary task you love over and over; or performing an energizing ritual you love over and over; or expressing key truths you love over and over. And these permissions will be especially crucial for you to exult in during the coming weeks, dear Virgo: because it’s

a time when mindful repetition will be one of your strengths and a key to stimulating the deepening experiences you need. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If I’m a bitch and a fake. Is there nobody who will love a bitch and a fake?” Libra author Graham Greene wrote that in his novel The End of the Affair. Here’s my extrapolation: I believe that every one of us, including me, is a bitch and a fake now and then. We all go through periods when we are not at our best, when we fail to live up to our own high standards. Is it possible that you have recently flirted with such a phase? If so, the cosmos has authorized me to absolve you. You are free you to reclaim your full exquisite beauty. And if you haven’t been a bitch and a fake, congratulations. It means you have weathered a gnarly storm. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Yves Olade writes, “I’ve started thinking of people as wounds that don’t heal.” To me, that idea is idiotically cynical. Moreover, I think it’s wrong for most of us. The truth is, humans have a natural instinct for healing. They are predisposed to attract experiences that might aid their recovery from difficulties—that might teach them the healing lessons they need. I believe this will be especially true for you in the coming weeks. (PS: Dr. Andrew Weil writes, “Any level of biological organization that we examine, from DNA up to the most complex body systems, shows the capacity for self-diagnosis, for removal of damaged structure, and for regeneration of new structure.”) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Research suggests that most people think everyone else has more fun than they do. But I’m guessing that only a small percentage of Sagittarians feel that way. You tend to be extra alert for fun, and you have intuitive skill at tracking down fun. In addition, you often take the initiative to precipitate fun. You understand you have a responsibility to generate fun, and you have a talent for generating it. All these capacities will serve you well in the coming weeks. I recommend you raise your mastery of the art and science of having fun to a new level. Be the Champion of Fun and Games for your entire circle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’m not engaging in empty flattery when I say that you are unlike anyone else who has ever lived in the history of the world. Your absolute uniqueness is a fundamental fact. Maybe you don’t reflect on this truth very often. Perhaps you feel that it’s not helpful to think about or that it’s irrelevant to your daily decision-making. But I propose that in the next three weeks, you give it a central place in your understanding of your destiny. Allow it to influence everything you do. Make it a major factor in your decision-making. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Welcome back from the underworld, Aquarius. I hope your time wandering through the maze-like twilight brought you as many fascinating mysteries as confusing questions. I trust you took advantage of the smoky riddles and arresting dilemmas to fortify your soul’s wisdom. I suspect that although your travels may have at times seemed hard to fathom, they have provided you with a superb education that will serve you well in the immediate future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, the lead character says to a friend, “You filled me with a wild desire to know everything about life.” Is there a person who might inspire you like that, Pisces? Maybe a person from your past with whom you’ve fallen out of touch? Or is there a person hovering on the outskirts of your life who could stimulate you to have such feelings? Now is a favorable time to seek these influences. I advise you to be bold in your quest to associate with allies who will stimulate your lust for life and teach you crucial lessons. (PS: For extra credit, make abundant use of another theme from Wilde’s book: “The search for beauty is the real secret of life.”) l
