Re: The CPH Protests

Editor:

I admire the moral concern of the protesting students around the nation, even as actions by students, faculty and administrators differ from school to school (“On Siemens Hall Hill,” May 2). Disruptive, but peaceful, civil disobedience is an acceptable form of protest, and it comes with personal consequences.

The revulsion against the unimaginable Hamas attack is clearly the right impulse. But as Israel’s genocidal reaction became evident, the focus changed, and the possibility of stopping it emerged as the goal. But, the utter stupidity of threatening Jewish students or institutions diminishes the credibility of the protestors.

Except for the focus on the protests by the news and personal media, the effect on policies they oppose is very limited. So, without leverage to achieve it, protestors are left with symbolic results like faculty votes or campus-wide teachins.

The real rub, of course, is that the U.S. is an accessory to the Israeli actions, meaning the protests implicate all of us, even as many avoid facing the uncomfortable truth.

My suggestion to protestors is that, now that the message of the protests is clear, it’s time to substitute disruptions with legal, political and technical work necessary to disconnect schools from the military industrial complex.

Greg Movsesyan, Fieldbrook Editor:

It’s dumbfounding to me that Rep. Jared Huffman could vote to approve another $20 billion toward Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and, in his lengthy excuse for doing so, and in nearly a single breath, write, “I support continued funding for Israel’s security needs,” and yet, “innocent civilians in Palestine are out of time.”

Shame on Jared Huffman. He is a smart man. He knows the scale of the human atrocities now being committed in Palestine. He knows that American munitions comprise about 70 percent of the bombs and drones and bullets being wielded in Gaza. He knows that children are being blown to pieces in front of their parents or otherwise starving, that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal and that none of this would be happening if the U.S. denied Israel its political and economic support. We expected more of Rep. Huffman, but he has hewed to a dangerously centrist party line. He will never again get my vote.

statement regarding the protests and the arrests that occurred last night (“Large Police Operation Clears Cal Poly Humboldt Campus; No Injuries Reported,” posted April 30).

Your statement opposes the peaceful expression of civil disobedience. When you make false claims about the protests, I wish that you would consider the safety of the protesters. To claim that what they were doing was not in fact a protest, but fundamentally just crime mischaracterizes them. Mischaracterizing protestors as criminals endangers the protestors. It invites the alt-right to attack the protestors. Closing the campus at the end of the semester was entirely unnecessary. The students were never a threat to their fellow students, you or anyone else. I believe, and I will continue to believe, that the reason you closed the school and summoned out-of-town SWAT teams is that you heard Speaker Mike Johnson call for universities to establish order. Mike Johnson is an agent of the alt-right. Don’t listen to him!

Did you personally witness any of the actual protests? One of the roles of a leader is to be present, observant and cognizant when something unfortunate occurs. The university relies on you to do your best to negotiate in good faith, to attempt to understand what the protestors are asking for and to at least consider the demands. If you did any of this, I never heard about it.

I personally am appalled at the ongoing attacks on Gazan civilians. A bare minimum response by you should be to examine the ways in which CPH may be contributing to the killings in Gaza. You

still can. You have not yet been fired. I’m not holding my breath.

Geoffrey Robinson, Blue Lake Editor:

Will the Cal Poly Humboldt protestors’ parents — and grandparents — have to indemnify some or all of the $1 million in flagrant and useless physical damage that their youngsters inflicted?

And to what end? Their politically ignorant and jejune vandalism helped not a single soul in Gaza and changed nothing in Israel’s ultra-nationalist, criminally anti-Palestinian government.

Only the tiniest fraction of Cal Poly Humboldt’s 7,000 student population joined in the protest, strongly suggesting that the 25 to 32 arrested protestors were

politically impotent, even on campus, never mind the larger world.

What is free speech worth if it isn’t effective and productive?

If you’ve seen the local media’s videos of the students — with their fancy smartphones and cameras — rampaging through the president’s office, the Corbett Conference Center and Siemens Hall at large, you’ve witnessed an adolescent joyride with no purpose other than gleeful destructiveness.

Painting the word “Gaza” in big letters on the walls is childish and useless, bordering on nihilistic. What a repudiation of responsible political activism and civic-mindedness. Surely the students are not learning these tactics in the university’s

political science classes.

Paul Mann, McKinleyville Editor:

I would hope that not all who express consternation over the direction taken by some of the CPH protestors would lead them to be considered more affected by the demonstrations than the suffering in Gaza (“Desperados Under the Eves,” May 2). I, for one at least, fear that the images of graffiti, screaming confrontations and the disruption of the closing of the school year with its final exams, projects and ceremonies will obscure the legitimate concerns of the protestors. I agree with the sentiment and agree that the response by CPH was both overreactive and insensitive and displayed a serious abdication of leadership at the highest levels of administration.

sity campuses statewide while making nice with agitators at Cal Poly without really concerning the experiences of students, faculty, of the university who may have had an adverse impact of their judgement to publish the declaration to state officials.

Luta Belcher, Eureka Editor:

I’m just afraid that what will be remembered is not the righteousness of the message but the scrawls which cheapened it.

Scott Graves, Eureka

Editor:

As a Jewish resident of Humboldt County for 50 years I would kindly like to state that the Antisemitism Task Force of Eureka’s Temple Beth-El (TBE) is not representative nor expressive of my views or opinions of local occurrences of Jew hatred masked as “anti-Zionism,” recent political issues nor of Jewish Torah values.

May I also add that the one local Jewish organization that has actually served the students of the local university on campus for the past 12 years; Rabbi Eliyahu and Rebbitzen Mushkie Cowen, of Chabad of Humboldt, has provided student and community spiritually.

Furthermore, I strongly advance that the leadership of TBE is hardly representative of Humboldt Country’s Hebrew or Israelite-adjacent population. I also have my doubts that the majority of TBE membership endorses or supports the report regarding incidents of antisemitism, the intimidation of Jewish students on campus, and the letter of endorsement of “no Jew hatred here” regarding the recent campus vandalism and occupation by agitators and the resulting school closure, that was sent to California congressional district leaders. Hatred of the only Jewish country on the planet and denial of the ancestral Jewish homeland in the land of Israel is essentially antisemitic to its core, no matter what terminology is used be it “Zionist” or “Israel,” and, yes, Jewish people can be antisemitic too.

I personally find the letter sent by the task force to be a message of self-contradictory appeasement that does little to help the situation other than scold state officials for daring to address instances of antisemitism by these activists on univer-

Democrats equate spending money with success, the more money spent the larger the success. That mantra has been demonstrated twice at Cal Poly Humboldt. First by hiring Thomas Jackson as president of HSU back in May of 2019. He was the savior of the moldy campus from the awful Lisa Rossbacher. She set the stage for Jackson’s success by giving him the opportunity to return the football program, return KHSU to the airwaves as local radio, institute a nursing program, engage the community with honest communications, return the college to WSJ College rankings and make HSU a smaller desirable institute of higher learning.

Unfortunately, Jackson — despite being paid about $600,000 in salary and benefits — was unable to capitalize on the gifts Rossbacher left him.

Enter the Democrat regime in Sacramento. Looking for another way to waste the taxpayers money they decided to make HSU a polytechnic university. A half billion dollars was allocated for changing the signs at the Spanish style/modern/ old/disjointed campus to reflect the pride of a third polytechnic teaching the same stuff they already did.

All that money has gotten CPH into the Wall Street Journal. The lead editorial “Rules for Campus Radicals, 2024” in the May 3 newspaper includes the line, an analysis of the protests at Cal Poly Humboldt, “the pro-Palestinian movement must be a movement against the police.” Also that student occupations should take over buildings whenever possible. And, “We can wield the most power by occupying the spaces where classes are held and administrators have offices.”

Under Jackson’s leadership, the quad has an unpronounceable name and a destructive riot costing the taxpayers a million dollars and probably millions more. The good news for him is he is eligible for the same exit Rossbacher used, five and out. His five years are up this month and he will be able to leave with a pension.

‘A Form of Bullying’

Editor:

I appreciate that Jennifer Savage raised the issue of how the internet and social media distort our perceptions (“Making Change: The Internet, the self in the shadow,” April 25). It is an important topic that deserves more coverage. Unfortunately, by choosing to focus on Naomi Klein’s mischaracterization of Naomi Wolf and her work, Savage amplified that distortion.

In the article, Wolf is simply labelled as a “conspiracy theorist.” There is no explanation given for dismissing her with this derogatory term. What I know is that Wolf worked tirelessly to bring the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial documents to light. This is the data that the FDA perused for only four months before licensing the vaccine, but asked for 75 years to fully release, when they received a Freedom Of Information Act request. When a judge ordered them to release the documents in our lifetime, a large team of medical professionals went to work analyzing the documents, and Wolf reported the findings as widely as she was able to reach. That is called journalism. To label it as “conspiracy theories” is bizarre.

The media outlets that ignored this important story displayed poor journalistic judgement and ethics. To deride Wolf for publicizing this information is a form of bullying. The readers of the NCJ deserve better.

Celebrates National NURSES WEEK

Campus Closed

Fallout from protests at Cal Poly Humboldt continues

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

In the week after Cal Poly Humboldt brought a large police force to campus to clear pro-Palestinian protesters from the area around Siemens Hall, arresting 32 people, including a professor and 13 students, the campus has remained closed, with discord seemingly growing between faculty and administration.

entrances and exits with tables and other furniture. An eight-day occupation ensued until the university brought in police from throughout the state to clear the campus, beginning around 3 a.m. on April 30.

A group of several dozen protesters entered Siemens Hall the afternoon of April 22 with the intent of starting an open occupation, holding space in the building and surrounding area to raise awareness of the impact of the Israel-Hamas War on Palestinian civilians. When police attempted to clear the building that evening, the protesters tried to physically prevent them from entering and a tense, briefly violent, standoff ensued with police in riot gear trying to shove through the doorway with shields and batons as students pushed back. Some blows were exchanged, with a student using an empty 5-gallon plastic water jug to hit a helmeted officer over the head, and at least two officers delivering blows to protesters with a baton and an elbow, the exchange reportedly resulting in one protester being treated at a local hospital. When police retreated, the protesters barricaded themselves in the building, blocking its

Humboldt County District Attorney Stacey Eads said no charging decisions have yet been made regarding the arrested protesters, who were booked on suspicion of trespassing and unlawful assembly, among other charges, adding she had yet to receive investigative reports from police. All have been released from custody. Meanwhile, Cal Poly Humboldt has sent interim notices of suspension to 72 students “related to protest activities,” though university spokespeople have repeatedly declined to answer how the students were identified as suspects and what campus policies they stand accused of violating. As the dust settles from the protests and their abrupt end, here’s a rundown of what’s happened since more than 150 police officers in riot gear cleared the Arcata campus.

Civil Liberties Groups Push Back Against Campus Closure

In a May 1 letter to the campus community acknowledging “an extremely challenging week,” Cal Poly Humboldt

administrators charged that the “unlawful actions” taken by protesters put others and themselves at risk, and could not be tolerated.

“We have already begun assessing the state of the campus and working to clean up the buildings and grounds,” the letter signed by President Tom Jackson Jr. and the school’s top administrators said. “The campus will certainly remain closed through the end of the semester, likely much longer.”

Responding to a Journal inquiry, CPH spokesperson Aileen Yoo advised that the hard closure of the campus instituted April 27 — under which people face citation or arrest for entering campus without permission — would remain in place indefinitely “due to clean-up work, concerns about maintaining the security of buildings, and the ongoing criminal and campus conduct investigations.” Asked to clarify a prior statement that there would be no access to “Siemens Hall and Nelson Hall East and the areas surrounding both buildings, which should be considered to be crime scenes,” Yoo noted the areas had been fenced off and were “still part of UPD’s ongoing investigation.”

In a separate email, Yoo advised local media they would need permission before accessing campus, and outlined a request process that required reporters to submit their press credentials, photo ID and emergency contact, as well as other information.

None of this sits well with the nonprofit First Amendment Coalition (FAC) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California (ACLUNC). The organizations wrote a joint letter to Jackson on May 4 questioning the legality of the campus closure and media access procedures.

“We believe that the university’s policy limiting public access — and especially press access — is constitutionally suspect,” wrote FAC Legal Director David Loy and ACLUNC Senior Staff Attorney Chessie Thacher. “We recognize that this closure has been asserted in response to the recent civil unrest and involvement of law enforcement at Cal Poly Humboldt, but it is precisely in these moments that reporting by a free press is essential. We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to lift this campus-wide closure.”

In the letter, the two attorneys go on to explain the law holds that complete bans on access to public spaces are only allowable when narrowly tailored, leaving alternatives, which they charge is the “opposite” of CPH’s “24-hour ban on public access continuing day-to-day for days on end.”

“Students, faculty and members of the public are not an evil to be guarded

against or silenced,” the attorneys wrote. “Keeping them away from campus while the academic year is still underway is disruptive and punitive to the entire school community.”

Further, the attorneys argue the closure violates the university’s own policy, which only applies in the event of an emergency or “unplanned event” that threatens the safety of people and property, but does not allow the university to close campus “on mere speculation about danger.”

The two attorneys also argue that the process for allowing media access is “far too limited,” concluding by them taking “this opportunity to respectfully remind the university that the press, including student journalists, are not the enemy.”

Commencement Moved Off

Campus, Decentralized

With campus closed indefinitely, the university announced May 3 that its May 11 commencement ceremonies would be moved off campus to the Blue Lake Casino, the Eureka Theater and the Eureka High School Auditorium, which will collectively host 17 separate ceremonies, organized by major.

“Facilities staff on campus typically spend a month or more preparing for commencement, and that has not been possible,” the announcement states. “Those same staff have been responding to the campus emergency, and now they are focused on the extensive clean-up following the restoration of order to campus. There is no way, at this point, to get the campus ready to host graduates and thousands of guests.”

Faculty/Staff Call for President’s Termination

A group of more than 300 members of CPH’s staff and faculty penned a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, California State University Chancellor Mildred Garcia and her board of trustees on April 29, demanding the “immediate removal and termination” of Jackson and his chief of staff Mark Johnson. Having not received a reply on May 3, they shared the letter with the press.

“Their repeatedly extreme and reckless actions in response to recent campus protests have systematically endangered students, staff and faculty, undermined the principles of shared governance and shattered any remaining trust in their leadership,” states the letter, signed by professors across disciplines. “President Jackson and Chief of Staff Johnson’s decision to deploy law enforcement against student demonstrators on April 22, 2024, resulted

in direct physical harm to members of our campus community.”

The letter goes on to criticize the administration’s “persistent lack of transparency,” referencing the faculty’s “overwhelming” no-confidence vote in Jackson, which received 193 out of a possible 203 votes in support.

Post Sheds Light on Decision Making

Throughout the week of the occupation and in its aftermath, faculty, staff and community leaders have said they were unclear about who was making decisions on behalf of CPH’s administration. A post on LinkdIn by Jenny Novak, a director of emergency management for the chancellor’s office, that appeared briefly with a photo of her and local administrators before being taken down sheds some light on who may have been involved in deciding the university’s response.

According to the post, Novak was brought into the role of Emergency Operations Committee (EOC) coordinator during days five through eight of the occupation.

“As the experiences of the past four days swirl in my mind, I want to document just a few of the things for which I am so very thankful,” Novak wrote.

Novak then launches into a list that includes items ranging from her husband’s willingness to hold things down at home while she was away to staff who helped her troubleshoot technical issues. But a couple of things are noteworthy about the post.

First, it mentions that the local EOC was in a video conference call with Newsom, the California Office of Emergency Services director, Garcia, CSU presidents and University of California chancellors on April 28, indicating the highest levels of state government were at least briefed on what was happening at CPH.

Second, the tone of the post is a marked contrast to the university’s messaging surrounding the protests, which it repeatedly characterized as dangerous and lawless, posing imminent threats to student safety. For example, Novak notes that she was thankful for friends who helped her with a fantasy sports draft and another who met her in town for a beer on short notice, while also joking the EOC team had plans to “create ‘jug of justice’ challenge coins,” a reference to the water jug a protester used to hit a police officer, video of which went briefly viral. At another point, she seems amused at hearing a state official explain the term “Oink Boink,” which had come up in relation to the video.

Jewish Leaders ‘Not Consulted’

In response to a joint statement North Coast state Assemblymember Jim Wood and state Sen. Mike McGuire issued following law enforcement’s clearing of campus that implied the protests had crossed a line with “destruction of school property, vandalism and antisemitic hate speech,” a group of local Jewish leaders pushed back on the characterization.

“Yes, there have been instances of antisemitism,” wrote Rabbi Naomi Steinberg and Rabbi Bob Rottengberg, as well as Temple Beth El President Courtney Ladika, Vice President Caroline Connor, Board Secretary Ann Alter and Antisemitism Task Force member David Boyd. “Yes, there is important work to be done. But we do not find the protests themselves to be antisemitic and we reject it as justification for the police force used against protesters. This inappropriate justification is all the more problematic because it was done without any consultation with Jewish community leaders.”

Further, the group wrote in the letter that Jewish community leaders had attempted to contact the university in early February in response to concerns of Jewish students, faculty and staff, including an incident in which a student was “viciously harassed.”

“It took three months to get a onehour meeting,” the group wrote, adding by that time the situation had deteriorated. “We were surprised to read a recent press release in which the university stated they ‘have been in touch with Jewish community leaders.’ This is inaccurate. Now it appears our well-intentioned elected officials have been misled by the university.”

The protests, the group wrote, demonstrated a lack of cultural sensitivity and an “indifference to alienation of Jewish students with opposing views,” which could have been mitigated had the university not ignored offers of help from Jewish leaders.

“This must change,” the group write. “At a long-awaited meeting on May 2 with the dean of students, it was agreed that vigorous, long-term effort is needed to educate the Cal Poly Humboldt community about and respond to antisemitism. Crimes and discrimination must be taken seriously, and spurious charges of antisemitism must be scrupulously avoided.”

CPH University Senate Calls on DA Not to Prosecute Protesters, for Independent Investigation

Meeting at the Arcata Community Center because the Cal Poly Humboldt campus remained guarded by police under a hard closure, the University Senate voted overwhelmingly May 7 to pass resolutions calling on the Humboldt County District Attorney to drop all charges against students and faculty involved in the pro-Palestinian protests that caused administration to shutter campus April 27.

In a separate resolution also overwhelmingly passed at the meeting, the Senate called for an independent investigation into “events and related decision-making process that followed the April 22, 2024, student protest actions.”

Both resolutions passed at a special, standing-room-only meeting that saw more than two hours devoted to the Senate hearing input from dozens of students, faculty and sta , as well as a handful of community members, about the protests and administration response that have deeply divided campus. While voices cracked, raised and faltered with emotion, senators largely sat silent and listened in what was the first organized forum allowing campus leadership to hear directly from the community it governs since hundreds of police o cers descended on campus April 30, arresting 32 people — including 13 students and one professor — while clearing the protests that had occupied the heart of campus for more than a week.

Those arrested have not been charged by the Humboldt County District Attorney’s O ce, as it has not yet received police reports documenting the cases against them. Meanwhile, 72 students have been served with interim suspension notices, though campus spokespeople have repeatedly declined to answer Journal questions detailing how the students were identified or what specific policies they stand accused of violating.

Protesters entered Siemens Hall, which

houses a handful of classrooms and administrative o ces, including that of the president, around 4:30 p.m. on April 22. Protesters have maintained their plan was to execute a “soft occupation” of the building that would bring attention to the Israel-Hamas War in Gaza, and the devastation it is causing Palestinian civilians in what protesters describe as an attempted genocide. Protesters said they intended to allow classes and core administrative functions to continue while they held the space.

A university press release issued May 7, however, maintains vandalism to the interior of the building had begun by the time police arrived, after which protesters refused police requests to leave the premises and began barricading entrances and exits.

Police wearing riot gear and wielding shields and batons would later try to force entry into the building while protesters pushed back, prompting a brief but violent exchange that left some o cers with minor injuries and at least one protester with a head wound. Police then stood down and a week-long occupation of the building ensued, with protesters setting up tents around Siemens Hall and using Dumpsters, tables and other furniture to erect large barriers blocking access to the heart of campus.

Throughout the occupation and its aftermath, President Tom Jackson Jr. has faced sharp criticism, including a no-confidence vote from the Senate and a letter calling for his resignation signed by more than 400 members of the university’s sta and faculty. Both the vote and letter stem from his handling of the situation, with many saying his early decision to call law enforcement ran against a campus tradition of allowing peaceful protest and dramatically escalated the situation.

Jackson did not attend the May 7 meeting of the Senate, of which he is a member, and instead sent his chief of sta Mark Johnson to stand in as his proxy. Asked why Jackson wasn’t in attendance, Johnson said

it was due to “legitimate concerns about his personal safety.”

At the outset of the meeting, Johnson said there has to be a “reckoning” on campus for decisions made by everyone involved in the protests and their aftermath, but added, “There is some investigative work that needs to be done before that reckoning can occur.”

To that end, the Senate voted — with 23 in favor, none opposed and one abstention — to call for an independent investigation into the protests and the university response that gives the investigator the authority to interview everyone involved and gives access to “all relevant documents.”

Senator Stephanie Burkhalter, a Department of Politics professor, said an unbiased account is crucial to reconcile the divergent views of what transpired.

“They’re trying to shape the narrative of what happened,” she said of campus administration, “and we really need an independent party to shape the narrative.”

Senator James Graham, a professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Management, said he’s deeply concerned about the campus’ ability to open in the fall if steps aren’t made to “know what happened and make sure we can prevent it from happening again.”

The vote to call on the district attorney not to prosecute student and faculty protesters was similarly decisive, with 21 senators voting in favor, one voting no and four abstaining.

Senator Tim Miller, representing the university library, said there is no consensus on campus that the protesters should have been arrested in the first place, pointing out similar occupations at Sonoma and Sacramento state universities were resolved peacefully without police.

When the meeting opened up to public comment, a steady stream of students, faculty and staff addressed the Senate, universally expressing concern for the treatment of protesters and the hard closure and ensuing police presence that disrupted campus life, shifted classes online and caused widespread unease among students and their families.

A group of students read a proposed draft senate resolution calling on the university, and the California State University system, to divest from interests profiting from the Israel-Hamas War and to call for a cease fire, which Senate President Jim Woglom, a professor in the Department of Art and Film, pledged the Senate Executive Committee would do in the coming days.

Speakers’ comments ranged from the history of Palestine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and the humanitarian crisis on the ground in Gaza to Jackson and his administration’s

handling of the protests, which speakers almost universally regarded with sadness and disapproval, as they did the president’s having referred to the protesters as “criminals” who were not there for “noble causes.”

“It’s still like a police state,” Meredith Oram, an advisor, said of campus. “If I try to go to my office, I risk being arrested.”

Dan Barton, who chairs the Wildlife Department, said the university has failed its students, threatening them with arrest if they exercise their rights to assembly, protest and speech.

“This is some dystopian shit,” he said, apologizing that he didn’t have “better words.” He continued, “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe in the mission of a public university and right now we are not meeting that mission.”

Another speaker charged that the university spends more on its police department annually than its cultural centers and Title IX office combined, which reflects its values, later blasting the university for calling police on the Black, brown and Indigenous students it works so hard to recruit to campus.

“They were not protecting us that night when they called the police, they were protecting property,” she said.

Loren Cannon, an environmental studies lecturer, expressed gratitude that student protesters had been the ones to push people on campus to pause and be “horrified” at what’s happing in Gaza, at “what’s happening to human beings.”

“We got to think about what’s happening and our responsibility for it,” Cannon said, adding that gratitude turned to deep disappointment at administration’s response.

Cannon ended by noting that Jackson wasn’t present, saying he never has been, imploring administrators who were in the room to take speakers’ messages back to the president and to ask him to respond to them in writing.

“He doesn’t just get to keep hiding,” Cannon said.

Lisa Tremain, who chairs the English Department, said she hadn’t planned on speaking but felt compelled to, saying she feels the university is crafting a media narrative that criminalizes students, robbing them of their voices.

She then turned to the students in attendance: “The reason the campus is still closed is because they are terrified of you.”

The meeting ran 30 minutes longer than scheduled, wrapping when it was announced a youth basketball league needed the community center floor for practice. As Johnson left the building, a group of students stood by, chanting, “Mark Johnson, please step down.”

Mother's Day Brunch

What’s Good: Thai, Doughnuts and a Rooftop View

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

Willow Creek Thai in Eureka

Willow Creek has long drawn campers, hikers, rafters and Bigfoot hunters. And if, when you pull o the cartoonishly winding, cli -hugging State Route 299, you can unlock your hand from the grab bar, you can enjoy a view of majestic trees and the sunlight bouncing from a glossy chicken wing on the patio of (40640 State Route 299). And now that its owner Kim Pravong has opened K&B Dining, an o shoot of the “Thai fusion” restaurant in Eureka, the view at 621 Fifth St. is similarly improved.

Back to those wings, specifically the Spicy Honey Wings ($15), which retain their juiciness under a sticky, sweet glaze flecked with dried red chili flake. While muted, tepid versions populate chain menus, these have the flavorful kick of an auntie knocking an Applebee’s menu from your hands. And yes, like the rest of the menu, they are available at both the Willow Creek and Eureka restaurants.

Happily, the same is true of the stirfried eggplant with Thai basil ($18). The smoky, silky slices of fried eggplant and ground pork play against the sweet red and green pepper, and fragrant Thai basil. Pravong says she’s yielded to requests for favorites not yet printed on the menu, like larb and papaya salad. The wide rice noodles of the pad see ew carry the char kiss of wok hei, balancing the mild sweetness of the soy-based sauce that clings to broccoli, fried egg and fried tofu ($17).

Pravong says she and her husband, Bill (the B in K&B), are still getting used to the new locale. “Willow Creek is a small community and everybody knows everybody. Over here, it’s a bigger space,” she says. Though one suspects they’ll get to know regulars soon enough.

Hole Foods

Steve and Rebecca Bands have made good on their vow to expand the doughnut menu since taking over Frankie’s NY Bagels (3750 Harris St., Eureka) in 2022. The

rotating lineup shows up doused in an array of glazes to tempt anyone — that most of the springy treats are vegan is somewhat miraculous. Lime, tamarind and hibiscus sprinkled, anyone? (Tragically, we have yet to make it in time for the crunchtopped créme brûlée before it’s sold out. And yet options for sweet, fried solace remain within reach.)

But don’t overlook the boxes of doughnut holes in the case, brimming with browned nuggets tossed in crunchy sugar or cinnamon sugar ($3.50). Wait, $3.50 for a small mountain of wholesome joy? In this economy? Firmer than the standard glazed item at a doughnut shop, these skew chewier, reminiscent of Italian street fair zeppoli. Charmingly disregarding uniformity, they are tender inside when fresh from the fryer. Should they cool, don’t despair — a few seconds in a microwave will revive them to near their original glory. The glorious smell in your kitchen comes at no additional charge.

Look up for Rooftop Sushi

Those of us craning our necks in Old Town can satisfy our curiosity at last. The frankly named Rooftop Sushi is out in the daylight at last (148 E St., Eureka). Slip into the modest entrance on the E Street side of the new building and ride the elevator (a Eureka rarity) to the fourth floor, where the soft opening is in full swing.

Opened amid a welcome streak of sunshine, chef Joe Tan says the first couple of days have been busy. While the indoor dining space and counter were empty o hours, every seat on the patio was taken with diners enjoying nigiri, maki sushi and plates of spiraling beef carpaccio. And sunshine — lots of sunshine. The view of the bay is reserved for the event space on the other side of the rooftop, but the restaurant’s half of the partially covered wood deck overlooks Old Town and environs.

Tan has said he was looking forward to turning his sole attention to the venture, a smaller restaurant, now that he’s moved on from Curry Leaf and Nori, both of which have a new owner in Nina Zhao, while Overtime Pizza is up for sale. Fans of Nori will recognize some of the style and standards on the Rooftop Sushi menu. Along with the sushi, Tan is offering miso and shoyu ramen, as well as yakitori skew-

ers. Specials, he says, will come as the crew and cook Norberto Andon, in the back turning out turning out katsu and tempura, settle in. l

Albee at the EXIT

By Tiggerbouncer Custodio frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

Ihave never liked Edward Albee’s The American Dream, not as a part of my script analysis classes, nor in the multiple productions that I’ve seen performed. I find it to be shrouded with intellectual commentary and unfollowable simile that leaves the audience wondering what the hell is actually happening. Yet, I am still drawn to it. Perhaps it is an id-feeding desire to engage in intellectual conversations with the post-production audience who seek answers for the experience, or just to laugh at the confusion. Either way, it is a piece of theater that still baffles like an absurdist, unsolvable mystery that will be revisited but remain unresolved.

Director John Heckel’s approach at EXIT Theatre does not offer the audience a clear commentary on their view of the script. Instead, they present a perfectly imperfect scene in an unremarkable ’50s apartment with their characters Daddy (Michael Murdock), Mommy (Heather Petersteiner) and Grandma (Sally L’Herogan) that allows Albee’s masterful scriptwriting to drive the one-act play. Like many of Albee’s works, it is a snippet of suspended time in everyday life where the audience intuits the plot as opposed to being forcefed a narrative, soliloquy or disposition. In this piece however, Albee relies too much on his personal commentary and loses the nuanced plot development that he is famous for in other works. What is it about? A mystery of Grandma’s boxes? Mommy and Daddy’s invitation for Mrs. Barker (Kimberly Mallett Alvarez)? The Young

Man (Bryce Campos) who will do anything for money? A particularly gruesome act to a “bumble of joy”? It is about the underlying darkness hidden in the societal ideal of the American family, though the work done to arrive at that this conclusion makes it questionable. Perhaps if it was presented absurdly or caricatured or surreal, it would make more sense. Still, Heckel stays true to the author’s intent and directs from Albee’s perspective, however confusing. I suggest the audience see everything as a metaphor for the author to soapbox and try not to piece together the action.

As challenging as all that, Heckel’s cast is mesmerizing. They present themselves as exactly who they are and don’t overreach for comedy or drama. I would have liked to see some of the actors ground themselves in an emotional base with their chest voice as opposed to the stereotypical falsetto Lucy voice that disengages their bodies, but it is still an appropriate choice. The entire cast exudes a calm power as the smaller space allows for more intimate conversation that still embodies big energy. On the evening I attended, intermission was filled with conversations rooting for the cast, as we wanted to love the play as much as the performances.

Heckel pairs the one act with another, The Zoo Story, which focuses on two strangers having a conversation in New York’s Central Park and is outstanding. Larry Crist as Jerry walks from the zoo to a park bench and engages Michael Murdock

as Peter. This piece is a technical actor’s dream: The script is dripping with exact locations and story that allow for an actor to step into the being of their characters, as both do expertly. They draw the audience in by seeing the surroundings and circumstances they describe. While Larry tells the story of a dog, Peter looks down and vividly sees it, which makes the audience hang on every word. As good as Crist is in his long monologues and character development, Murdock does not get lost in the action with simple and real active listening that is so often overplayed by less experienced actors. It is a gorgeous piece of theater that deserves to be seen.

The Albee pairing of one-acts is for theater nerds and dramaturgy. Both are challenging pieces that the EXIT Theater loves producing. Both are well done, conversation-inducing intellectual candy. Go spend a couple hours in the theater to have a lifetime of conversation about them.

Pomp and Circumstance

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

It’s graduation time again at Cal Poly Humboldt and due to the circumstances of our times, as well as the stupid pomposity of the University’s president and his enablers, grads will be walking just about everywhere around the county except for on the campus. I don’t have much to say about that beyond what I have written already but I will offer one piece of advice to the folks getting their diplomas this week. It comes from a song title by a favorite musician of mine, Dan Behar, aka Destroyer, from an album he released when I was college-aged myself, called Your Blues: “Don’t Become the Thing You Hated.” Have a nice week.

Thursday

A.J. Lee & Blues Summit is fronted by singer, songwriter and mandolinist A.J. Lee, who was considered something of a teenage prodigy when she started her career a decade ago in her hometown of Santa Cruz. The intervening years have built her and her group a reputation as masterful modern bluegrass players capable of putting on a great show that will pack the seams of any venue or festival. Local manouche jazz act Canary and the Vamp provides an excellent choice for local support. At Humbrews at 8 p.m. ($23, $20 advance).

Friday

Bass-heavy electronic dance music comes with nearly as many subgenre titles as it does artists, and I’ve never been very interested in getting too far out there in terms of cataloging, preferring instead to go by my own impressions of the sounds pasted together with a little artist info gleaned from my research. Tsuruda and Onhell are two DJs on a tour called “sushirrito,” a nod to the half-Asian background of the former and the half-Mexican background of the latter. They first crossed paths in a Humco trim scene back in the early 20-teens, when such places still existed in abundance, and the sounds produced by the two reflect that background to a T. Deep bass, post-U.K. dubstep dance tunes for woodland/urban

hybrid, fairy-dusted psychonauts. If that interests you, swing by the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 9 p.m. to relive some of the glory days of the industry ($25, $20 advance).

Saturday

John Ludington is generally known in the area as one of our more versatile bassists and singers, providing rhythm and back-up for Canary and the Vamp, or holding it down as one quarter of Absynth Quartet, our beloved oddball jam act, so you know right from the jump here he’s got chops. However, what you might not know is that he’s recorded a solo album, MinuteHand, and is throwing an album release party for it at the Miniplex tonight at 8 p.m. ($10-$20 sliding scale). I have listened to the tunes a few times and have become endeared to several of them, from the instrumental pitter-patter of “‘Cats,” to the more plaintive “4th of July,” to the country-folk shuffle of the title track. Lots to enjoy here, but a favorite line comes from the ravings of “C’mon Ned!” in which our bayfront is described as a place “where the tweakers rap and the seagulls crap.” You know, I believe the reverse is true as well. Tonight’s gig is going to have a full band made up of some of our finest musicians, including Tofu and Ryan Roberts from Absynth, as well as Aleister Page from Canary, who will be trading in his pedal steel for a violin. If you enjoy the best and quirkiest of what our local folk, roots and jam scene has to offer, do not give this one a miss.

Sunday

Portland’s best fruit-flavored funk trio Sweet N’ Juicy is back at it again, stopping at the Siren’s Song Tavern tonight at 8 p.m. to make some hot jam. For the uninitiated, or for those who may have forgotten, these fellas dress up as a banana, a strawberry and a pineapple, and play tight and funky dance grooves exceptionally well. Just a perfect party back, really. Also on the bill is Fact of Matter and if you roll through before the show, you will be greeted by a free and open deadhead jam starting at 3 p.m. Enjoy or be forewarned, depending on your tastes. The evening’s

gig costs a reasonable $8, which looking at gas prices, ain’t nothing for an ace band from Portland.

Monday

Ethiopian jazz, roots and funk music has enjoyed a well-deserved appreciation in the West for the last two decades, due in part to several reissues and compilations from the ’60s and ’70s making their way to the right record collectors and tastemakers. Qwanqwa is a quintet from the nation’s capital of Addis Ababa, and represents the new generation of Ethiopian musicians building on the fantastic sounds of the past and creating new tunes for those of us lucky enough to catch an earful. You can be among that group tonight at 9 p.m. at the Miniplex, and I highly suggest you snag a $20 advance ticket, as I cannot guarantee how many $25 door spots will be available the night of. If you didn’t make the list for that one, fear not. There’s another hot show going down at the Outer Space. And it starts at 7 p.m., so you might even be able to double-dip! Nighttime is the “cosmic folk” solo act from Los Angeles of one Louise Goodman, who will be in good company with the indie folk pop and global forest tones of local supporters Wild Abandon and Die Geister Beschwören ($10-$20 suggested).

Tuesday

Speaking of our local all-ages, sober gem the Outer Space, there’s an evening of dream pop awaiting you there at 8 p.m. tonight for a suggested door price of $10. Lane Lines hails from Seattle and Phoenix, two very different places, and has, I imagine, harnessed the contradictions of such into a personal songbook of expression. Locals Queen Karma just released a rip-snorting rock single called “Lost,” and will probably be bringing the most amplified energy to the gig, while house band Los Perdidos will do its indie-folk magic.

Wednesday

Portland’s Fruition features trio-vocal harmonies generally led by singer/guitarist Jay Cobb Anderson, who you may recognize

as having passed through this way as a solo act not so long ago. The music is electro-folk, country and modern blues with a confessional quality to the lyrics, which does nothing to dampen the instrumental bombast of the group’s sound. Humbrews is the perfect spot for this kind of pickin’ and yowlin’, and I encourage any fans of

roots music to give the group a listen online and consider a midweek trip to the dancefloor. Doors open at 8 p.m., where admission costs $25. Those already on board can get their tickets in advance for $5 less. l

The Fall Guy Takes it on the Chin

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

THE FALL GUY. At the risk of speaking more reboots into existence, the storeroom of old media is not always the refuge of the unimaginative. For it to work, some part of its original DNA that still resonates must be preserved, while others are tweaked to make it new. Listen, Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida was a reboot of Chaucer. And few would argue the 1980s TV series about a stuntman/ bounty hunter starring Lee Majors and Heather Thomas is a sacred text, the tomb of which should remain untouched. Its big-screen comedy-action resurrection is, as director and former stuntman/stunt coordinator David Leitch (John Wick, 2014; Atomic Blonde, 2017) says in the preview, a tribute to unsung stunt performers, many of whom show their faces in the movie. It also manages to amp up the excitement for our post-Bourne-Wick-Fast-and-Furious era, add self-reflexive humor, chemistry and the goofy vulnerability of its star Ryan Gosling.

The fantastically named stuntman Colt Seavers (Gosling) is happily dating camerawoman Jody (Emily Blunt) and doubling for massive movie star Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who is definitely not the oft name-checked Tom Cruise. But an accident on set sends him spiraling, ditching his career and ghosting his girlfriend. A year and change later, Ryder’s producer Gail (Hannah Waddingham with a Diet Coke welded to her hand) cajoles him back into service for an action-sci-fi epic Ryder is shooting in Australia with first-time director Jody. He agrees in hopes of winning Jody back, despite his fear of getting back in the saddle. And once she’s had him set on fire and thrown into rocks for a few cathartic retakes (who among us?), things are looking up. That is, until Gail enlists him to hunt down the movie’s AWOL star, a mission that sends him down a rabbit hole filled with real-life danger.

The pace of Fall Guy is fast and pulled along by momentum, rolling along like a car flipping on a beach. The physical stunts are as spectacular as one would hope and a welcome respite from the detached perfection of CGI. Car jumps, chase scenes and prop-heavy set pieces are alternately jaw dropping and funny. Simple stunts, like smashing through a window or dodging a sword while trying not to spill a cup of co ee are a pleasure, too. A fight in a spinning Dumpster as it’s dragged behind a speeding truck is inspired, as is the sparky, neon, drug-enhanced throwdown in a club.

The versatile Blunt is funny and charming, alternately focused and distracted, with an awkwardness that belies the fighting chops that made her a compelling action lead in Edge of Tomorrow (2014). As usual, we don’t get enough Winston Duke, here quipping and scrapping as Colt’s stunt coordinator and buddy. Waddingham delivers an excellent send-up of a myopic Hollywood bigwig, as does Taylor-Johnson, and there’s plenty of self-mockery as Gosling the glamorous leading actor plays a stuntman rolling his eyes at the entitled star he’s spent years making look good.

Amid calls for the Academy of Motion Pictures to recognize stunt performers and coordinators, the timing of The Fall Guy is good. And maybe it’s the pink aura still hanging around Gosling in the wake of Barbie (2023), but it also feels like a good time for a shift in the male action hero template. There’s only so much stoicism and indestructibility an audience can take. Instead of unrelenting alpha male swagger, Gosling and writer Drew Pearce give Colt a bewildered confidence and shrugging humility. After all, the stuntman isn’t the star. He looks at the thing he’s about to jump o , be run over by or thrown into matter-of-factly, like someone who knows

he’ll probably survive it but it’s going to hurt.

When Gosling rolls onto the concrete, we feel it with him; his thumbs up, given from under a crumpled car or in a heap on the pavement, is a reflex disguised as optimism. Gosling’s performance in retro action-comedy-noir Nice Guys (2016) showcased a similar, albeit sketchier, hero vibe. It would be reminiscent of young Harrison Ford’s wincing or Humphrey Bogart taking a punch in the mouth, though you’d never have caught Indiana Jones or Philip Marlowe sighing in his car over a relationship montage while Taylor Swift croons “All Too Well.” But even making a cheesy declaration of love, delivering a punchline or dangling in peril, Gosling maintains a vulnerability that creates a di erent kind of tension in contrast — maybe harmony — with the action. Fall Guy is genuinely fun and absolute catnip for action movie fans. While it opens with a supercut of epic stunts being shot, wires and all, it ends with footage of the stunts shot for the movie you just watched. Don’t cheat yourself out of it. PG13. 114M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINOR. ●

Lions and Dragons in Old Town

By Mark Larson getout@northcoastjournal.com

Arts Alive! on Saturday in Eureka had the usual art and music lineup, but Old Town also featured several costumed May the Fourth Star Wars characters and a big crowd at the third annual Eureka Chinatown Street Festival - Year of the Dragon.

The festival on three blocks of E Street in front of the Clarke Historical Museum began at 4 p.m., when lion dancers wandered through businesses on the streets offering the Lion Blessing of Businesses for good luck and prosperity. Attendees began checking out the numerous Asian food vendors, artists’ offerings, a kids zone and other activities.

At a 6 p.m. opening ceremony, Sheila Moon (a descendant of Charlie Moon for whom an alley in Eureka’s historic Chinatown is named) welcomed the large crowd and introduced the Humboldt Taiko drum-

mers, who quickly had to retreat under a tent to perform as heavy rain arrived. After the rain stopped, most of the crowd stayed for performances by traditional lion and dragon dancers, Humboldt County Lao Dancers, the K-Pop Dance Team from Eureka High School, Humboldt Rockers and Samba da Alegria.

The Eureka Chinatown Project is an initiative by community members and Humboldt Asians and Pacific Islanders in Solidarity (HAPI) to honor the history and culture of the first Chinese people in Humboldt County, the vast majority of whom were forcibly exiled during Eureka’s 1885 expulsion. A current project goal is to build a Eureka Chinatown Monument to be located at the corner of First and E streets. l

Humboldt Taiko, led by Gary Ronne (center), found refuge from the rain under a large tent for their performance leading off the Eureka Chinatown Street Festival program.

The Eureka Chinatown Street Festival featured a team of dragon dancers who manipulate a long, flexible puppet of a dragon using poles positioned along its length.

The lion dancers at the Eureka Chinatown Street Festival created the illusion of a lion moving with two or more performers in each costume dancing and interacting with the audience.

Doubting Shakespeare, Part 3: Whodunnit?

By Barry Evans fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

Last week, I presented arguments supporting the anti-Stratfordian case, that Stratford’s “Shakspere” wasn’t the sublime writer William Shakespeare. If the man from Stratford didn’t write the Shakespearean canon, who did?

Originally, Francis Bacon was considered the prime candidate. Later contenders included: Christopher Marlowe; Henry Neville; Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke; William Stanley, sixth Earl of Derby and many more. Or an amalgam of these, writing under a single pseudonym. However, the candidate most frequently cited is the 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere, someone with a motivation for writing under a pseudonym and with the right background: classical education (attended Cambridge), knowledge of the law (studied at Grays Inn law courts), worldly (traveled extensively in Italy and France), confidant of Queen Elizabeth (whose chief advisor was de Vere’s fatherin-law, William Cecil Burghley). He was also a good writer, “the most excellent” of Elizabeth’s courtier poets. De Vere’s motivation for anonymity is obvious. Take the character of Hamlet’s Polonius, chief advisor in the Danish court, portrayed as a garrulous, bumbling old man — clearly, to most Shakespeare scholars, modeled on Burghley himself. In those days, to openly mock the crown or government was considered treason, punishable by maiming, imprisonment, or death. The main strike against de Vere is that he died in 1604, so that if he was Shakespeare, several plays had to have been published posthumously, edited, perhaps, by someone in the know — Mary Sidney?

If de Vere, or someone else, was posing as Shakespeare, why that particular name? One possibility is that the Stratford man, who was involved in the London theater scene as an occasional actor and as an investor in the Globe and Blackfriars theaters, was paid to act

as the face for a playwright who wished to remain anonymous. Or, more likely, Stratford’s Shakspere had nothing to do with it. Shakespeare, or sometimes Shakespeare, may be a play on the goddess Pallas Athena, who sprang from the head of Zeus “shaking a sharp spear.” William, meanwhile, is cognate with the Old Dutch for “golden helmet,” which Athena is often portrayed as wearing. Not incidentally, it was common practice in that time to indicate pseudonymous works with a hyphen, so Shake-speare would then be seen alongside such giveaways as Tom Tell-troth and Simon Smell-knave.

To legitimize this debate, veteran Shakespearean actors Sirs Derek Jacobi and Mark Rylance, among others, sponsored a “Declaration of Reasonable Doubt about the Identity of William Shakespeare,” which you can read at doubtaboutwill.org. Jacobi and Rylance are hardly the first to question the authorship, being preceded by, among others, Mark Twain, Henry James, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Orson Welles, Sir John Gielgud, Sigmund Freud, U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, historian David McCullough and physicist Roger Penrose — none of whom, I trust you’ll agree, were or are lacking in intelligence.

I’ll leave the final word to Nobel Prize-winning novelist John Galsworthy, who declared the original proposal that Edward de Vere was Shakespeare (in a 1920 book by English schoolteacher John Looney) to be “the best detective story I’ve ever read.” Which is a fitting tag-line for the entire attempt to figure out who wrote Shakespeare. We’ll probably never know, but damn, it’s fun to try.

Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) votes for a long shot: writerspy Christopher (Kit) Marlowe who, after faking his own death in 1593, wrote the “Shakespeare” plays from Italy.
