‘More Information’ Editor: I agree that many people are tired of wearing masks (Mailbox, Jan. 20) but the writer didn’t give us enough information to make a good decision. I want more information, such as the relative populations between the U.S. and Sweden; rates of visitors to the country; vaccination rates; general health and nutrition; healthcare and especially home healthcare; restrictions on gatherings; weather; education levels, work from home numbers, etc. All are necessary considerations.

‘As a Victim …’

Editor: In your recently published article about the 840 new cases of COVID-19 in Humboldt County (“Public Health Confirms 840 New COVID-19 Cases, Three Hospitalizations,” posted online Jan. 18), you linked to an article written by Calmatters and published by the North Coast Journal and other California newspapers on Jan. 8 called “Unboosted: California COVID-19 Booster Rate Falls Below 40% in Most Counties.” In my opinion, this article is highly offensive and you should not have linked to it. In my opinion, the North Coast Journal should avoid using the term “Unboosted” because it is offensive. This is why: As an unvaccinated person, I have endured over a year of harassment by Humboldt County’s local news media. The harassment came in the form of articles and political cartoons calling me a monster, insinuating I did not believe in science, insinuating I believed the Earth was flat, calling my boyfriend a wimp because he was unvaccinated, and a political cartoon likely directed at me personally portraying unvaccinated people as overweight men who also believe cell phone towers are dangerous, genetically modified food is dangerous and water fluoridation is dangerous, among other things.

As a victim of said nasty smear campaign against Humboldt County’s unvaccinated citizens, I was absolutely appalled when I woke up in the morning and read the North Coast Journal as I do every morning, and I saw the “unboosted” article. The “unboosted” article is highly offensive because it appears to be the beginning of a similar smear campaign being launched against the fully vaccinated, who are now going to be labeled “the unboosted” and grouped in with the formerly hated “unvaccinated.”

I feel truly sorry for anyone who thought they were doing their part by protecting themselves or others, who got “fully vaccinated” with a vaccine that now no longer works, who is now being told they will need

a third dose, who woke up in the morning and read the “unboosted” article like I did. To them, that must’ve seemed like a metaphorical “slap in the face.” I prefer the term “bait and switch.”

The North Coast Journal should apologize for publishing the “unboosted” article, stop linking to it, and stop using the term “unboosted.”

Adrienne Floreen, McKinleyville Editor’s note: Contrary to this letter writer’s assertion, data continues to show COVID-19 vaccines remain effective at preventing severe illness and death, especially among those who have been both fully vaccinated and received a third “booster” dose, as the referenced CalMatters article reports.

Local Staff, Please!

Editor: Congratulations to our state senator, Mike McGuire, for his appointment as the Senate’s majority leader (NCJ Daily, Jan. 27). He is a hard worker with great ideals, some of which he has been able to put in place. But should we be worried that he no longer has any staff in his Eureka office? Even though his staff in Sacramento is very helpful, my past experience with his local aide was invaluable in helping advocates like me to navigate our local resources. Please Mike, reinstate your presence in Humboldt County!

Hilary Mosher, McKinleyville

Nothing subatomic Can hold a candle To the gatherings We once shared, Around tables set To welcome friends With the only bond That really matters.

‘Heed This Advice’ Editor: The loss of Hunter Lewis is a tragedy for his family, friends and community (NCJ Daily, Jan. 6). He was a talented young man with a lot of promise in his future and his loss is felt by all. I sincerely hope that such a tragedy can be avoided, so, as a longtime ocean kayaker, I present the following advice.

1. Never go boating alone.

2. Choose the appropriate watercraft for the location and conditions — and check conditions prior to launch.

3. Always have a means to communicate to those onshore; a VHF radio or a cellphone.

4. When boating around rocks, wear a helmet.

5. ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET, i.e. a personal floatation device.

— By Kirk Gothier

6.

Dress for the water temperature — in cold water, like the ocean and bay around here, a wetsuit or drysuit is necessary.

Hopefully, boaters will heed this advice and come back to shore safely.

Sandy Haux, Trinidad

S

tate Sen. Mike McGuire recently gained a new title — majority leader — which takes him up a rung on the Capitol ladder to the second-highest-ranking position in the California Legislature’s upper house.

The Jan. 19 appointment by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins also marks the first time in 30 years that a North Coast representative has been named to the post — a milestone not lost on the 42-year-old Healdsburg resident who comes from a long line of farmers.

In a recent interview with the Journal, McGuire said he believes he will “bring a unique view to this leadership position,” noting such key posts are often held by elected officials from urban areas.

“I’m one of the few democrats who represents a rural region of California, and I’m proud of it,” he said.

As majority leader, McGuire said he will be working with Atkins to set policy and budget priorities and his office now manages the entire Senate floor, scheduling “every policy vote, every budget vote,” and overseeing the movement of bills through the Senate process.

“I’m incredibly grateful to serve in this new role but I want to make it very clear: My top priority has been and will always be the North Coast. And we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us,” McGuire said.

McGuire, who served as assistant majority leader for the last three years, replaces Sen. Bob Hertzberg, who is termed out of office this year.

“Sen. Hertzberg leaves huge shoes to fill, of course, but knowing Sen. McGuire and his energy, he will work to fill them, shine them, put in new laces and resole them, all within two and a half minutes,” Atkins said in a release announcing the changes.

First elected to the state Senate in 2014, McGuire’s mercurial rise in politics

began more than two decades earlier when at 19 he became the youngest person elected to the Healdsburg Unified School District board before becoming the city’s youngest mayor. After an inaugural term as a Sonoma County supervisor, he turned his sights to the state Senate, winning handily in 2014 before taking 76 percent of the vote to overwhelmingly win re-election in 2018.

Over the years, McGuire has authored a number of bills with North Coast connections, including the creation of the Great Redwood Trail that aims to transform abandoned railroad tracks into a meandering pathway connecting Humboldt Bay to its counterpart in San Francisco. His legislation to halt a bid to bring a “toxic coal train” down the now defunct tracks of the Eel River Valley — which could derail the trail project — just passed a Senate committee.

During Donald Trump’s presidency, McGuire co-authored a bill that would have required presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to appear on the primary ballot in California. While it was signed by the governor on its second go-around, the California State Supreme Court later struck down the law.

Cal Poly Humboldt’s Political Science Department Chair Stephanie Burkhalter said McGuire’s appointment to majority leader represents “a vote of confidence” in his abilities by Atkins and his fellow Democrats in the Senate.

And, she said, it potentially sets him up to take over the state Senate’s top slot when Atkins is termed out of office in 2024, or if she steps down for other reasons. McGuire, who is up for re-election this year, is eligible to serve through 2026.

“It’s immensely important to the North Coast that our state senator is in such a prominent role in leadership in the Legislature; at a minimum, it means that our

State Sen. Mike McGuire File

needs and perspectives are articulated and considered in every piece of legislation that the Senate considers on the floor,” Burkhalter told the Journal.

The sprawling Second District — stretching from Marin County to the Oregon border — faces some of the greatest challenges in California, McGuire said, but it’s also a resilient community.

“I’m going to fight for the state and I’m also going to have a laser focus on tackling some of those critical issues in rural California: childhood poverty, homelessness, wildfires, our climate crisis, affordable housing,” McGuire said.

On the local level, McGuire points to his office’s work to secure state funds toward those ends, including the creation of

a mental health crisis center in Eureka and permanent housing units with wraparound services for those facing homelessness, as well as backing for the nursing programs at College of the Redwoods and Cal Poly Humboldt.

McGuire said he was thrilled to see the state’s $433 million investment to transition Humboldt State University into Cal Poly Humboldt, the state’s third polytechnic campus and the only one in the northern reaches of California, calling last week’s official designation “historic.”

“It’s a game changer for the campus community, it’s a game changer for the regional economy and the entire North Coast,” he said.

Efforts are also underway to increase

broadband access to the rural reaches of the state by extending fiber optic lines along highway right of ways, McGuire said, noting he believes the North Coast, which has more households without internet service than other parts of California, will be “happy with what they are going to see in the coming 12 months.”

On a statewide level, McGuire, who co-chairs the Senate Climate Action Working Group, said California needs to lead the nation in combating the climate crisis, adding that Atkins is advancing the “most aggressive policy and budget package the state has seen” on the subject.

“Our climate crisis must be at the top of the priorities list here in the state and throughout the nation,” he said.

And with wildfires becoming a yearround threat to Californians’ lives and livelihoods, with each new season eclipsing the past, the state needs to build upon last year’s historic investment in wildfire prevention, preparedness and response, McGuire said.

To that end, McGuire said, the state needs to address the CalFire firefighter shortage that left crews stretched desperately thin last year as blazes broke out across the state. Staffing at the agency “peaked in 1975, before I was born,” McGuire said. “We are in the era of megafire and we don’t have the personnel to keep up with the current demand.”

Since taking office, McGuire said that in addition to devastating wildfires and extreme droughts, he’s also seen his district weather floods and now the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Why I love where we live is even in our most darkest days, the North Coast is incredibly innovative — we never give up, we never give in and we’re all in this together,” McGuire said.

That outlook is one McGuire hopes can be translated to the state level as California prepares to tackle the next set of challenges ahead.

“I think it’s a unique opportunity for all of us to work together and my bottom line is I don’t care if someone is a Republican or a Democrat,” he said. “We’re Californians first and my focus is on ensuring the future of the North Coast and the Golden State is bright.” l Kimberly Wear is the digital editor at the Journal.

Why Single Payer Died in the California Legislature, Again

D

espite, or perhaps because of, an aggressive last-minute push by progressive activists ahead of a crucial deadline, legislation to create a government-run universal health care system in California died Jan. 31 without coming up for a vote.

The single-payer measure, Assembly Bill 1400, was the latest attempt to deliver on a longtime priority of Democratic Party faithful to get private insurers and profit margins out of health care. Because it was introduced last year, when it stalled without receiving a single hearing, it needed to pass the Assembly by Jan. 31 to continue through the legislative process. But even the threat of losing the party’s endorsement in the upcoming election cycle was not enough to persuade the Assembly’s Democratic supermajority to advance the bill for further consideration, effectively killing the effort for another year.

After several tense hours the afternoon of Jan. 31, during which a scramble of meetings took place just off the Assembly floor, Assemblymember Ash Kalra, the San Jose Democrat carrying A.B. 1400, announced that he would not bring up the measure for a vote.

Kalra declined multiple requests to discuss his decision and whether he would seek another path forward for his proposal. Following the floor session, he waited on a members-only balcony outside the chamber until a group of reporters was told to leave by a sergeant-at-arms.

“I don’t believe it would have served the cause of getting single payer done by having the vote and having it go down in flames and further alienating members,” Kalra said on a Zoom call with disappointed supporters later in the evening, in which he shared that he believed the bill, which needed 41 votes to pass, was short by “double digits.”

tively liberal as California.

The influential California Chamber of Commerce, which represents business interests in the state, labeled A.B. 1400 a “job killer” shortly after it was reintroduced in January, indicating it would be a top priority to defeat. Its lobbying campaign — joined by dozens of insurers, industry groups and the associations representing doctors and hospitals — included social media advertisements and a letter to members denouncing the “crippling tax increases” that would be needed to pay for the system. After the bill stalled Jan. 31, the chamber declared it would be ready if ideas from the “dangerous proposal” resurfaced.

Republicans were eager to make it into an election issue this year. Though Kalra’s bill was largely conceptual, with a separate measure introduced to address the financing, they attacked it as a massive tax hike on Californians. (Kalra proposed a series of taxes on businesses and high-earning households to fund the single-payer system, estimated by legislative analysts to cost between $314 billion and $391 billion annually.) A 4,000-page petition signed by voters who opposed A.B. 1400 sat in the back of the chamber Jan. 31 for Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron of Escondido to use as a prop in a floor debate that never happened.

Democrats also faced a squeeze from the left flank of their party. Activists with the California Democratic Party’s progressive caucus said last week they would push to withhold endorsements from members who did not vote for the bill.

That ultimatum generated fierce anger in the Assembly caucus from members who felt cornered, though many refused to speak publicly about their frustration.

Stuck between powerful interests

The decision not to bring up A.B. 1400 for a vote Jan. 31 may have been about protecting members from having to take a position one way or the other on the bill, as Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon did with the last single-payer measure in 2017.

a government-run health care system passed the state Senate that year, but was held by Rendon without a hearing because the bill included no plan to pay for it. That put him in the crosshairs of single-payer supporters, who blasted him on billboards.

This time, Rendon said he supported the effort, but he was not closely involved in rounding up votes for A.B. 1400. He declined to answer questions after the Jan. 31 floor session and, in a statement, he pushed the blame onto Kalra.

“The shortage of votes needed to pass this bill out of the Assembly indicates the immense difficulty of implementing single-payer healthcare in California,” he said. “Nevertheless, I’m deeply disappointed that the author did not bring this bill up for a vote today. I support single-payer and fully intended to vote yes on this bill.”

The explanations are unlikely to assuage the measure’s most enthusiastic proponents.

The California Nurses Association, the main sponsor of A.B. 1400, slammed Kalra for “providing cover” for his colleagues by not holding a vote.

“Nurses are especially outraged that Kalra chose to just give up on patients across the state,” the association said in an unsigned statement. “Nurses never give up on our patients, and we will keep fighting with our allies in the grassroots movement.”

Amar Shergill, chair of the California Democratic Party’s progressive caucus, said he would continue with plans to pull endorsements from Assembly members who did not publicly support the bill.

During the call the night of Jan. 31, he and other advocates repeatedly criticized Kalra for setting back their movement and urged him to name the members who were opposed. “We are protecting them from negative scrutiny of a ‘no’ vote,”

Shergill said.

Kalra said it would give him more time to work on winning over colleagues who were on the fence about A.B. 1400 and try again next year.

Where was Newsom?

One prominent Democrat who did not express support for A.B. 1400 was Gov. Gavin Newsom, who ran for office in 2018 on a platform to create a single-payer system in California but has since distanced himself from that pledge.

During a press conference in January to unveil his budget proposal, Newsom reiterated that he believed “the ideal system is a single-payer system,” but dismissed questions about Kalra’s approach.

“I have not had the opportunity to review that plan, and no one has presented it to me,” Newsom said at the time.

As A.B. 1400 marched toward defeat, the governor remained mum. His public remarks in recent weeks focused instead on several of his own budget proposals that he said would bring universal health access to California, including an expansion of Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for the poor, to all residents regardless of their immigration status.

The distinction he has drawn between universal access to health insurance and an actual universal health care system has infuriated the nurses’ union, one of his earliest endorsers during the 2018 campaign, who accused him of flip-flopping on single payer. It seems unlikely to cause him much trouble in his upcoming re-election campaign, however, where he has yet to draw a significant challenger.

Introducing Cal Poly Humboldt

HSU’s “historic” announcement promises to reshape campus and community

By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s official, Humboldt State University is now California Polytechnic University Humboldt — Cal Poly Humboldt, for short — the California State University system’s third polytechnic and the only one in Northern California. It’s a change that promises to transform the campus and the surrounding community.

“Cal Poly Humboldt will be a polytechnic for the 21st century, preparing students to address the urgent issues our society faces,” said Cal Poly Humboldt President Tom Jackson Jr. during a Jan. 26 press conference celebrating the move.

“The energy, the new academic programs, the incredible polytechnic foundation already in place and the positive change associated with our new name and designation begins today for our campus community. We look forward to welcoming new students to a CSU campus with great momentum and an unparalleled trajectory. At Humboldt, we have always learned by doing. There’s never really been a better time for students to be a part of Cal Poly Humboldt to achieve their goals.”

Talks of the university becoming a polytechnic — a university with programs emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and applied science fields like medicine and agriculture — came into public view in late 2020, when then-CSU Chancellor Timothy White sent a formal letter asking the university to create a selfstudy that would outline how it would create new programs and curricula, and develop its facilities, budget and external partnerships to meet and maintain CSU’s polytechnic standards.

The university dedicated most of last year to compiling and finally presenting a final draft of the self-study to the CSU Board of Trustees for approval, an effort led by Cal Poly Humboldt Provost Jenn Capps. The study noted that Humboldt already had a strong foundation for a polytechnic designation, currently serving the third-highest number of STEM students in the CSU system, behind only

Cal Poly Humboldt’s scenic campus is slated to undergo a more than $680 million makeover, as the university makes room for more programs, laboratories and student housing.

Cal Poly Humboldt was ready to celebrate the official approval of its new direction, dispersing buttons to students on campus who were ready to celebrate. Submitted

the two current polytechnic campuses: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona.

Capps and Jackson offered a final presentation to the CSU board Jan. 26, after which the CSU Committee on Educational Policy unanimously approved the name change and designation, with many committee members offering full-throated endorsements of the new Cal Poly Humboldt.

“I just want to congratulate Humboldt State on the excellent work that it’s doing on this,” said CSU Trustee Jane W. Carney during the morning session. “It would be my pleasure to support this motion and I think this is just one of the most exciting things happening in the CSU, and that’s saying something because there are many exciting things happening in [the CSU].

So, congratulations, President Jackson.”

But now that Humboldt officially has the polytechnic designation, the real work begins, as the university looks to add a host of new academic programs, build out more than $680 million in infrastructure projects that will reshape campus and double its enrollment over the next seven years. It’s a transformational undertaking for the university that was founded as a teacher’s college in 1913 and known as Humboldt State Normal School, Humboldt State Teacher’s Col-

lege, Humboldt State College and CSU Humboldt before eventually carrying the Humboldt State University moniker for nearly 50 years.

“We have an implementation process set up right now with several different working groups aimed at [the next steps of becoming a fully functioning polytechnic university], so we have been working diligently on standing up eight new bachelor’s degree programs, one new master’s degree program and three certificates by fall of 2023,” said Capps, adding that the university is on target to meet that deadline. “There’s also working groups focused on facilities ... so academic buildings, housing; and then other working groups focused on communication technology, inclusive student success. So it’s really working through and launching those pieces to get us to the place where we have all of the academic programs and support services and facilities to support our student success.”

As Jackson said, Cal Poly Humboldt’s goal is to become a polytechnic for the 21st century, focusing on giving students the experience needed to find solutions to the critical issues facing the state, including climate change, raging wildfires and extreme drought.

In seven years, the campus is slated to offer a total of 28 new degree programs

focusing on STEM and applied sciences.

The university will launch 12 of those by the fall of 2023: eight new bachelor’s degree programs in mechanical engineering, energy systems, engineering data science, software engineering, marine biology, applied fire science and management, cannabis studies and geospatial analysis; three certificate programs in cybersecurity, information technology and sustainability; and a master’s degree in engineering.

By 2026, the school is also planning to add six more bachelor’s degree programs in biotechnology, computer and information technology, digital arts and media, food system sciences, health advocacy, and Indigenous sciences and the environment, as well as two certificate programs in biotechnology and clinical lab science, and master’s degree programs in nursing and STEM education. By 2029, it will add four more bachelor’s degree programs in forest engineering, regenerative engineering and design, cybersecurity and agriculture, as well as another master’s degree program in speech language pathology.

With a little over a year to implement 12 new programs by the fall of 2023, Capps said the university plans to slowly phase in programs through partnerships with College of the Redwoods, while Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

aligning the university’s first two years of engineering classes across all of its engineering programs. The university will also look closely at the impacts of simultaneously launching different programs, including their impacts on physical space on campus and where facility upgrades will be needed.

To that end, the university has a $433 million allocation from Gov. Gavin Newsom, as well as $25 million in annual state funding, to transform its campus, erecting new academic buildings, student housing, renovating existing structures, upgrading lab spaces, expanding broadband and investing in a renewable energy research facility.

The university has five academic infrastructure projects planned, including construction of two new buildings dedicated to engineering, technology, a microgrid and sustainability curricula and research.

The largest of those is a new 90,000-square-foot building to be built on the campus events field across 17th Street from the Natural Resources and Forestry buildings. It will include spaces for academic departments, lecture halls, labs, offices, communal spaces and conference rooms, along with an adjacent 250-bed residence hall. The project is expected to cost about $135 million and is planned to open in August of 2025.

Another brand-new, 25,000-squarefoot sustainability building and microgrid is slated to be built on the south edge of campus near the Schatz Energy Research Center, providing more space for academic departments, labs, offices and conference rooms. According to the university’s polytechnic planning website, this “building will primarily serve as a testing facility for energy systems and give a home for sustainability on campus.” The project is expected to cost $24 million, with a planned opening in January of 2025.

The university is also planning to renovate existing facilities, bringing them up to modern standards and creating room for the relocation of existing programs and departments.

Campus administrators and CSU officials have predicted that the new polytechnic designation, coupled with an increasing demand for STEM careers, will see Cal Poly Humboldt’s enrollment grow significantly, with a projected enrollment peak of 11,000 students in seven years, effectively doubling the number of students currently on campus.

According to Capps, existing recruitment efforts are already expected to boost enrollment in the upcoming

fall semester.

“We’ve done a tremendous amount to expand our recruitment pipeline, increase our use of efficiencies of technology and analytical tools, building partnerships and collaborations focusing on student retention, matching growth plans with housing capacity and the signals are really good,” she said, adding the campus’ fall 2022 confirmations (students who have decided to go to Cal Poly Humboldt next fall) are up more than 37 percent.

The university didn’t recruit students as a polytechnic, she said, but rather explained the transition and designation process with prospective students and guidance counselors. Since the fall of 2020, the university admissions department has been working to improve recruitment by increasing personalized calling campaigns, creating a “next steps” video series and presentations, and increasing communication across all areas.

“Our university outreach plans for local students continue to increase, but this was an effort even before Cal Poly designation,” Cal Poly Humboldt spokesperson Grant Scott-Goforth wrote in an email to the Journal. “Our focus within the Office of Admissions this year has been to increase the touchpoints students engage with our university, even with the challenges of a pandemic.”

In 2019, the school launched a campaign to invest in — and recruit — local high school students with the Humboldt First Scholarship, which offers a $4,000 scholarship (divided into four installments of $1,000 for each year a student is enrolled and in good academic standing).

That program will continue, Scott-Goforth said, thanks to donations from local supporters.

“Throughout our transition, we want to reassure our local students that our Cal Poly designation signifies a huge opportunity to stay local and explore all passions, sciences, arts and everything in between,” he wrote.

Administrators also believe the polytechnic designation will help the CSU meet demand for more STEM degrees.

They note that not only have both Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona held their enrollment numbers steady in recent years as they have dipped across the CSU system, but both polytechnic campuses remain impacted, meaning the number of qualified applicants is greater than the number of available spaces. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, for example, was only able to accept 30 percent of 67,308 applicants last fall, according to its admissions data.

According to the CSU website, Cal

Submitted

Poly San Luis Obispo is among the seven most impacted schools in the system for undergraduate programs, while Cal Poly Pomona is also impacted for first-time freshman and transfer students, with its STEM programs being the most impacted.

But accommodating 11,000 students on Humboldt’s campus would be a massive undertaking for the university and surrounding area, especially considering the university and Arcata faced a housing crisis when enrollment numbers peaked at about 8,500 students in 20152016. Around the same time, HSU hired Brailsford & Dunlavey, Inc. to conduct a student housing demand analysis, which found the university’s “housing portfolio” was undersized and aged, and that the surrounding Arcata housing market was so constrained it left some students unable to find housing and sleeping in their cars or camping in the woods.

“Despite all the things our provost said, our biggest challenge still remains housing — student housing and community housing,” Jackson said amid the fanfare of Jan. 26, adding that the university will look to build up on-campus housing.

“We have to be better at that, as a campus, and we intend to ... with the support of the governor’s [$433 million].”

Jackson said he expects “even a little growth” in off-campus housing development, coupled with on-campus housing projects, will be enough to meet demand.

As Jackson noted, some of that $433 million in one-time state funds will go toward housing. Cal Poly Humboldt currently has five plans for student housing, including the construction of two brand new housing complexes (one off Sunset Court across the street from the current student health center and another off Laurel Drive) and two multi-story parking garages — a type of building that currently doesn’t exist on campus. One of the buildings will be multi-use, with a health center and dining services on the ground floor, under a 650-bed residence hall. It and the new parking structure come with a projected price tag of $175 million and expected to be completed in August of 2026.

The housing infrastructure plans also include the off-campus Craftsman Student Housing Project, a four-building complex consisting of 800 beds connected by courtyard and surrounded with 350 parking spots. The $150 million housing project is expected to be completed at the end of 2024.

This project is about 200 beds larger than one proposed as “The Village” in May of 2018 by real estate development company Coleraine Capital/AMCAL Equities LLC (AMCAL), which met strong resistance from the surrounding community, which worried about traffic, parking and other neighborhood impacts. AMCAL eventually withdrew its application and the lot was sold to the Humboldt State

University Foundation for $3.95 million, paving the way for the current proposal.

Another on-campus parking structure and additional student housing are planned to be built by December of 2027 on Laurel Drive. From the looks of a building plan on the university’s website, this project’s footprint may overlap with an existing campus apartment building, the Bret Harte house, the Warren House and Building 20, ceramics and sculpture labs, alluding to the possible demolition of those buildings. However, in an email to the Journal, the university said it’s “working diligently to understand each project’s feasibility and its impacts to existing buildings and programs.”

The overall cost of the university’s planned infrastructure projects totals about $683 million. Aside from the $433 million one-time investment and the annual $25 million allocation, the school will try to find additional funding streams to build out the new infrastructure.

Even though the university is hoping to double the number of beds it has to offer to students on campus — an increase of 2,150 — the city of Arcata and other outlying areas will likely see significant impacts if the university is successful in welcoming more than 5,000 additional students.

“Housing is a top priority for the city,” said Arcata City Manager Karen Diemer in an email to the Journal, adding that the city has already placed a priority on

infill development under its General Plan.

“This effort will include updated population growth estimates that take into consideration both expected city growth and the unique bump in growth from the Cal Poly Humboldt trajectory we will see in the next 20 years.”

But Diemer stressed the university has the city’s full support, saying the two entities are in regular communication through quarterly meetings attended by the mayor, vice-mayor, and university and city administrative teams, as well as monthly coordinating staff meetings to ensure transit, infrastructure and maintenance projects are aligned to include the expanded needs of Cal Poly Humboldt’s growth.

The polytechnic designation also brings a potential boost to the local economy, with possible partnerships from government agencies and local companies, as well as grant opportunities to explore climate change, sustainability and applied science research.

“The city council has expressed great support for the transition of HSU to Cal Poly Humboldt,” Diemer said. “We know that there is strong demand in the local workforce for graduates from STEM fields and applied sciences like health and agriculture. The growth in potential interns, student projects and creative solutions that come from campus will all be a benefit to Arcata. The legacy of Continued on page 15 »

A Cal Poly Humboldt student shows off their button during a Jan. 26 celebration of the university’s newfound polytechnic designation. Submitted Humboldt’s sustainability programs is the perfect foundation to build programs in climate resiliency, fire science, science in service to society, and renewable energy all critical to the future of Arcata and the North Coast.” said Diemer, adding that the growth of the campus supports economic stability throughout the region.

While the polytechnic designation and the projected growth of the campus brings the potential to be an economic boon throughout the North Coast region, it’s also big news for the CSU system, with Chancellor Joseph I. Castro calling the day “historic.”

“I am absolutely thrilled to be with you on what is a truly historic day for the California State University, for the great state of California and, most notably, for California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. I’ve been looking forward to saying those words in an official capacity for a long time,” Castro said. “What makes this day so momentous and cause for great celebration is what the name represents with the transition to Northern California’s first polytechnic institution. Cal Poly Humboldt will bring increased access to high-demand academic programs to talented and diverse students from Northern California and

beyond.”

In the greater campus community, many expressed excitement about the designation.

“Proud of my alma mater for this accomplishment,” wrote Eric Schweitzer on Facebook.

“SO excited!!!! I’m a BIG FAN of Humboldt and thrilled that it is now the 3rd ‘Poly’ in the Cal State system!!!” wrote Mira Simon.

Among students around campus, meanwhile, reaction to the polytechnic news varied.

Kinesiology major Michael Bateman said he thinks the polytechnic designation will be positive for the university, saying he hopes it will bring an influx of funding to better integrate technology and computer science across all programs. Asked whether he thought a degree from a polytechnic university might improve his employment prospects after graduation, Bateman said he wasn’t sure.

“My parents think so,” he said, adding that he figures the increased name recognition of a diploma from one of California’s three polytechnic universities couldn’t hurt. “People outside the state will know what Cal Poly is, where they Continued on next page »

might not know what Humboldt is.”

But Bateman said he does worry about the impact increased enrollment might have on the housing market, explaining he has struggled at times to find an apartment and had to live in Eureka and commute to campus for a spell before moving into a house in McKinleyville with his parents, who recently moved to the area.

Some also questioned how the designation would impact this year’s graduating classes. But with the name change becoming official as soon as the trustees’ votes were cast, the class of 2022 will become the first graduates of the newly minted Cal Poly Humboldt. As for alumni out there looking to add a little Cal Poly to their resume, “all requests for replacement diplomas will be printed with Humboldt State University,” Scott-Goforth told the Journal in an email.

Those with a nostalgic streak need not worry, as “legacy” gear bearing Humboldt State University will continue to be sold at university outlets.

Cal Poly Humboldt gear, meanwhile, is also now available.

“It’s exciting to see these items in stock and more will be on the way as we transition into a polytechnic,” said Aileen S. Yoo, the university’s director of News and Information.

Cal Poly Humboldt and the city of Arcata have plenty of work ahead if they are to realize the potential officials believe the polytechnic shift carries.

“The Cal Poly Humboldt transition is just getting underway,” Diemer said. “We aim to enhance the uniqueness that is Arcata and to stand out in the CSU system as a great place to learn and live.”

Capps shares the sentiment.

little after 9 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, the curb of Alice Birney Elementary School in Eureka is lined with boxes of food: sweet rice, fish sauce, leeks, eggs and tied bags of greens. Sacks of rice are piled on a pallet and cases of Mama noodles stack up shoulder high by the fence. A dozen or so volunteers are checking lists, counting packages and preparing to shuttle food to car trunks.

Thavisak “Lucky” Syphanthong is, to no one’s surprise, live on Facebook, smiling as he pans his phone to film the scene and narrate the effort. The day’s food distribution, getting culturally appropriate staple foods to some 60 local Lao and Hmong households, is a joint project between the NorCal Lao Foundation, New Rising Hmong Association, Redwood Coast Regional Center and Food for People.

It’s Nor Cal Lao Foundation’s second food distribution. The first was in May of 2020 with funding from the Humboldt Area Foundation (“Rice Sacks and Blessings,” May 7, 2020). This time, the group was approached by Jennifer Garcia of the Redwood Coast Regional Center, which had conducted a similar operation in Del Norte

County with the Hmong Cultural Center there and offered the foundation $3,000 to help purchase food. “They have services that don’t reach our community,” says Syphanthong, a board member of NorCal Lao Foundation, who says language can be a barrier to both aid and information, particularly for elders in these communities.

“We kinda look out for each other, especially our elders,” she says, explaining that sometimes means calling or Facetiming with their adult children to share information about COVID-19 safety so they can translate for their parents. Otherwise, little official information reaches them in their native languages beyond what they find on YouTube and from abroad, neither of which are necessarily reliable.

“Everything is word of mouth,” says fellow board member Ampha Mannorind.

That can make it hard for outside organizations to connect with Lao and Hmong communities. “I reached out to families, primarily the seniors,” most of whom she already had on her list from the previous distribution. Just then, an older couple emerges from a car and she jogs off to translate for them.

Noises Off! Hits the Mark

BAY BISTRO

Ferndale Rep reopens with delightful farce

By Michelle Drown

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

F

or the first show since shuttering its doors two years ago due to COVID-19, Ferndale Repertory has staged playwright Michael Frayn’s popular farce Noise Off. It’s an ambitious choice — the plot is complicated, the dialogue is demanding; missed lines or uneven timing could easily derail the comedy of errors. Fortunately, the cast, under the direction of Alex Blouin, is up to the challenge.

With Omicron running rampant, theater going isn’t what it used to be — proof of vaccination, a temperature reading and a mask are required before entering the Ferndale venue. For those who love live performances, however, it’s an acceptable request.

Noises Off first premiered in 1982 in London to critical acclaim. The comedy then debuted on Broadway the following year, earning several Tony nominations.

Since then, Frayn’s farce has been a staple of community theater companies and has had two Broadway revivals. The inventive premise came to Frayn in 1970 after seeing a few of his short plays performed. “One night I was watching from the wings, seeing the actors dashing between the different doors backstage,” Frayn said in an interview with the Guardian. “It occurred to me that it was all far funnier from behind than it was in front.”

In a nutshell, Noises Off is about a second-rate theater troupe putting on a farce called Nothing On. The play-withina-play opens with a subpar group of actors rehearsing into the wee hours before opening night. In act two, it’s a month later and the audience’s view is backstage, watching the tensions and jealousies between actors play out as the company performs the same play. The final act shows the cast back on stage at the end of their run, relationships destroyed and the play’s narrative out the window.

The clever concept requires five of the actors to switch back and forth between their Noises Off and Nothing On charac-

The cast members handling multiple roles — Emma Dobbins, Ben Bailey, Kaelah Nicole Franklin, Evan Needham and Caroline McFarland — do so with aplomb.

In lesser hands, the play could easily feel convoluted, but the Ferndale Rep actors never lost track of who they were supposed to be and when, allowing the audience to effortlessly follow the plot.

Dobbins, who is first onstage, portrays Mrs. Clacket, the cockney housekeeper of the country manor where Nothing On is set; she also plays Dotty Otley, an aging American actress who can’t keep her lines straight and has a financial stake in the show. Bailey, who plays Garry Lejeune, an excitable American who never completes a full thought but rather finishes his sentences with “well, you know,” and Roger, an English estate agent tasked with renting out the manor while its owners are on holiday in Spain. Franklin is Brooke Ashton, a dim bulb of an ingenue who, when not doing her scenes, seems scarcely aware of her surroundings, and Vicki, an Inland Revenue worker who accompanies Roger to the house for a tryst. Needham is Frederick Fellows, a self-doubting actor who blames himself when things go wrong on the set, gets nose bleeds when things are out of control and has an incapacitating fear of blood. His Nothing On characters are Phillip Brent, owner of the manor who has been abroad with his wife to avoid paying taxes, and Sheikh, a potential renter. McFarland brings to life Belinda Blair, an upbeat, sensible actress who is fond of Fredrick, and Flavia Brent, Phillip Brent’s steadfast wife. David Powell plays Selsdon

Mowbray, an old, affable drunk who keeps liquor hidden backstage and often goes walkabout only to be found passed out somewhere, and Burglar, a septuagenarian thief who breaks into the Brent’s home, thinking it unoccupied.

The adept cast is rounded out by Brad Harrington, who plays director Lloyd Dallas, Holly Portman as the emotionally wrought stage manager Poppy Norton-Taylor and Jordan Dobbins as beleaguered assistant stage manager Timothy Allgood.

At its first Sunday matinee, the troupe performed the farce without a hitch. The ensemble cast breezed through their roles, hitting their lines, pulling off impeccably timed physical comedy and revving up the action to a fever pitch that elicited guffaws from the audience.

Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s production of Noises Off! runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Feb. 20. Call 786-5483 or visit www.ferndalerep.org.

The race, which was canceled last year due to the pandemic, was shortened to 5 ¾ miles this year and followed the usual route along Scenic Drive, splashing through the shallows of Little River and ending at Clam Beach.

Josiah Tostenson finished in first place with a time of 30:44, followed by Micah Clemons and Todd Rose. Alexandra Sciocchetti had the best women’s time of 34:30, followed by Ryley Burton-Tauzer and Lindsay Siebert. You can see all the results on the Six Rivers Running Club website, www.6rrc.com.

The finish line featured the usual postrace snacks, hot chili supplied by Brett Shuler Fine Catering and live music by the Cal Poly Humboldt Marching Lumberjacks band. The musicians ended the day with their signature rendition of “Rubber Duckie” as they headed west for their traditional quick dash into the ocean.

The Trinidad to Clam Beach Run was started in 1966 as a winter training race by Hess, the then Humboldt State University Track and Field coach, as a way to get his runners in shape for the coming season.

Race organizers hope to bring back all the usual race distances of 3, 5 ¾ and 8 ¾ miles next year. l Mark Larson (he/him) is a retired Cal Poly Humboldt journalism professor and active freelance photographer who likes to walk.

Josiah Tostenson (left, No. 576) crossed Little River in the lead and finished in first place with a time of 30:44, followed by Micah Clemons (right, No. 311).

The bonfire at the finish line of the race offered a perfect place to stretch and warm up for Lucera Love, of McKinleyville.

Alexandra Sciocchetti, of Arcata, dashed through Little River andhad the best women’s time of 34:30. She finished in 10th place overall.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Parched January Could Lead to River Closures

341 West Harris St., Eureka 707 445-3138

Anastacia Gonzalez, left, and Francesco Latini, of San Anselmo, hold an Eel River steelhead landed on a recent trip.

orth Coast river levels have fallen from their December glory after an extremely dry January. And February, at least through the first couple weeks, isn’t looking much better. This extended dry period could lead to fishing closures on several North Coast rivers. Back in December, the California Fish and Game Commission voted to extend low-flow closures through April 30 from the previous closure date of Jan. 31. Rivers that are regulated by low flow closures include the Eel, Mad, Mattole, Redwood Creek, Smith and Van Duzen rivers. Of these, the South Fork Eel, Mattole, Redwood Creek, and the Van Duzen could close in the next week or so. With most forecasts now leaning towards a dry end to this wet season, our winter steelhead season, at least on some of the smaller coastal rivers, could come to a sudden end. For more information on low-flow river closures, visit www.rb.gy/ ofibr6.

The Mad still provides your best opportunity to land a steelhead. Fish are spread throughout the river, as anglers are catching a mixture of hatchery and wild fish. Flows were down to 400 cubic feet per second as of Tuesday but it’s still holding some color. Minimum flow is 200 cfs at State Route 299 bridge.

The weather ahead

Main stem Eel

According to Eureka’s National Weather Service office, we’re looking at dry conditions at least through Feb. 10. The six- to 10-day precipitation outlook is showing below normal rainfall through that period.

CDFW seeks input on 2022 sport Pacific Halibut season dates California anglers who are interested in the recreational Pacific halibut fishery are invited to participate in an online survey to help inform the CDFW about angler preferences for open fishing dates during the upcoming 2022 season. Results of the survey, which is open until Feb. 18, will be used to develop recommended season dates that will be provided to the National Marine Fisheries Service. The Pacific

halibut fishery takes place off Northern California. The 2022 quota will be 39,000 net pounds, the same as in 2021 and 2020.

The online survey can be found at www. surveymonkey.com/r/RNDCG2S. For more information on the Pacific halibut fishery in California, visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/ Conservation/Marine/Pacific-Halibut.

The Rivers: Mad

The main stem is in good shape, with plenty of green water. As of Tuesday, it was running at 2,860 cfs and starring to clear in the tail outs. The fishing isn’t red hot, but most boats are getting a few chances per trip. Minimum flow is 350 cfs at Scotia.

South Fork Eel

The South Fork is running at 445 cfs as of Tuesday. At this flow, the spots that hold fish are few and far between. However, there are still quite a few fish around, including some fresh ones. Minimum flow is 340 cfs at Miranda.

Van Duzen

The Van Duzen was down to 270 cfs

by Tuesday and is clear. Fishing pressure

has been light due to conditions. It could fall under 200 cfs by next week. Minimum flow is 150 cfs at Grizzly Creek.

Smith River

Flows were less than 1,700 cfs on the Jed Smith gauge Tuesday. Not many anglers are still trying as the river is low, clear and snaggy. There are some fish around but it’s tough getting them to bite in the clear water. Minimum flow is 600 cfs at Jed Smith Park.

Chetco/Rogue

Steelhead fishing has slowed on the Chetco, as water levels reached their lowest of the season early this week, reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “With flows of around 900 cfs, it’s difficult to drift the river, and the fish holding up in the lower river are spooky and reluctant to bite,” said Martin. “Most guides have shifted gears to other waters. Expect good action after the next rain, although there is none in the forecast. The Rogue has been slow because of low water. A few adult winter steelhead and half-pounders are being caught near Agness.”

Kondo-ing Your Queue

Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness and The Cleaning Lady

By Tiggerbouncer Custodio screens@northcoastjournal.com

GETTING CURIOUS WITH JONATHAN VAN NESS. Digital Streaming Services need Marie Kondo. Imagine how satisfying it would be to hear the sound of crumpling paper as you dispose of Dexter: New Blood in the bin where the last season of Game of Thrones went. Or else, neatly packing your sentimental ’80s sitcoms that are deeply ism-schismed, yet still manage to bring you joy (as long as you don’t talk about them to anyone, sparking intense discussion and future therapy material).

But we must navigate without Kondo. So the relentless click of the remote control that somehow only moves the the selection box once for every three clicks stops on an image of Jonathan Van Ness — for their solo project apart from the Queer Eye team.

Their pure, unadulterated JVN light makes my spirit want to jump on my bed while living my best “Free Your Mind” En Vouge moment, but it’s way too much for the late need-to-work-tomorrow hour. Yet way too much may also be what my soul

Waiting for Omicron to peak. and the soul of our society need.

Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness is that way-too-much joy. The sheer amount of energy JVN uses to tackle the deeply profound questions like, “Are bugs Gorgeous or Gross” and “Why is hair so Major?” — as the first two episodes are titled — in less than half an hour is infectious, fascinating and satisfying. Underneath its superficial and fluffy façade lies the groundwork for palate-cleansing world views, societally obfuscated facts and incredible guests like Geo Neptune and Ayanna Pressley (if you don’t know them already, you must Google now). It balances frivolity and necessity well without being preachy.

However, if you are looking for something bingeable, this full rainbow cheesecake with edible glitter and unicorn candies packed in every episode may not be it. It may result in you leaving the Netflix room altogether, satiated, but bloated and dizzy from the sugar high. TVMA. 27M. NETFLIX. THE CLEANING LADY. Luckily, Marie Kondo and her organizational magic would most likely take her into the Hulu room fraught with dark and twisted series that bring joy to serial killer fans and true crime podcast junkies to clean and organize the hell out of it. Amid the current clutter, like a sign from the digiweb gods,The Cleaning Lady beckons with cross-platform

The Cleaning Lady

advertisements and slick images. Even if one is questioning whether they need yet another crime drama series in their life, one could simply watch and be perfectly content in its interesting takes on familiar plotlines.

The sound of a Ruby Ibarra track and main characters speaking Taga-lish immediately sets this show apart and fills a void in the heart of every Filipino who has predominantly relied on Rufio from Hook and Joy Koy’s mom for representation in a blatantly Filipino-absent Hollywood.

Representation is important. Its mere existence may just be more culturally important than artistic/aesthetic fact of the show actually being good.

So far, so good. The Cambodian Pinay lead character, Elodie Yung as immigrant doctor Thony, is smart, talented and focused. And rather than letting a super intelligent main character’s frankly dumbass moments go unexplained (beyond human imperfection) like so many other series, The Cleaning Lady offers much deeper and character-driven motivations that make the bad decisions believable as she heads underground and into shady business. A child on the brink of death, an opportunity for a better life, deportation and DACA, love, abandonment and the American caste system all come into play without it feeling confusing. If you desire binge-worthy drama, this is it.

As Arman Morales, Adan Canto’s oozing sex appeal and even-tempered consideration may minimize the callous and violent gangster he should be, but juxtaposed with Thony’s volatility and drive to survive, it adds dimension to their power struggle.

Yung and Canto’s chemistry is hypnotizing — hopefully it won’t turn into another StockholmSyndrome plotline.

Devastatingly beautiful and talented Eva De Dominici makes you want to yell at the camera to stop moving and focus on her, regardless of who’s speaking. Should

the series take off, it’s easy to imagine her Nadia Morales becoming an iconic character worthy of impersonation by the best of RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Snatch Games. As Fiona, Martha Millan is perfect in her portrayal of many Filipinas’ coming-to-America story and her acting breathes life into the familiar storyline, offering strength, perseverance and a necessary grounding for Thony.

Typically, heady crime dramas don’t spark joy in me and would end up in the Kondo trash pile. But Hollywood moving away from the caucasity of diluting all Asian cultures into a hodgepodge mixand-match of Orientalism does. And with a good balance of character development and motivation, drama, action and plot, The Cleaning Lady is breaking the norms of Hollywood while using its formulas in a new way to generate an interesting series.

I’m hoping for its success. TV14. 45M.

HUMBOLDT GEOGRAPHIC

The Third Kingdom

By Rowdy Kelley

humgeo@northcoastjournal.com

W

e all know the plants and animals are extraordinary in Humboldt, but the kingdom of fungi is probably the most prolific. Edible, medicinal, psychoactive or deadly, there are many varieties of each. Some, though, are just unbelievably strange looking.

Until the middle of the 20th century, fungi were placed in the plant kingdom. The separation into its own kingdom was based on characteristics like how the living things obtained their nutrition. Animals eat or engulf and plants photosynthesize, while fungi excrete digestive enzymes and then absorb the externally digested nutrients. l Rowdy Kelley (he/him) is a TV and film location scout/manager, producer and director with family roots in Humboldt going back to 1900.

He’s an avid outdoors person into mountain biking and SUPing. See more of his photos on the Humboldt Geographic Facebook page.

ASTROLOGY

Free Will Astrology Week of Feb. 3, 2022

By Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries actor Bette Davis said that if you want to improve your work, you should “attempt the impossible.” That’s perfect advice for you right now. I hope to see you hone your skills as you stretch yourself into the unknown. I will celebrate your forays into the frontiers, since doing so will make you even smarter than you already are. I will cheer you on as you transcend your expectations and exceed your limits, thereby enhancing your flair for self-love. Here’s your mantra: “I now have the power to turn the impossible into the possible and boost my health and fortunes in the process.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu wrote, “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” You’ll be wise to make that your motto during the next five months, Taurus. Life will conspire to bring you more and more benefits and invitations as you take full advantage of the benefits and invitations that life brings. The abundance gathering in your vicinity may even start to seem ridiculously extravagant. Envious people could accuse you of being greedy, when in fact, you’re simply harnessing a crucial rule in the game of life. To minimize envy and generate even more benefits and invitations, be generous in sharing your plenitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “’Because there has been no one to stop me’ has been one of the principles of my life,” wrote Gemini author Joyce Carol Oates. “If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere,” said Gemini actor Marilyn Monroe.

“Play the game. Never let the game play you.” So advised Gemini rapper and actor Tupac Shakur. “Who I really am keeps surprising me,” declared Gemini author Nikki Giovanni. I propose that we make the previous four quotes your wisdom teachings during the next four weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your animal symbol is usually the crab. But I propose we temporarily change it to the tardigrade.

It’s a tiny, eight-legged creature that’s among the most stalwart on planet Earth—able to live everywhere, from mountaintops to tropical rainforests to the deepest parts of the sea. In extreme temperatures, it thrives, as well as under extreme pressures. Since it emerged as a species half a billion years ago, it has survived all five mass extinctions. I believe you will be as hardy and adaptable and resolute as a tardigrade in the coming months, Cancerian. You will specialize in grit and resilience and determination. PS: Tardigrades are regarded as a “pioneer species” because they take up residence in new and changed environments, paving the way for the arrival of other species.

They help create novel ecosystems. Metaphorically speaking, you could be like that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I regularly ask myself how I can become more open-minded. Have I stopped being receptive in any way? What new developments and fresh ideas am I ignorant of? Have my strong opinions blinded me to possibilities that don’t fit my opinions? In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to adopt my attitude in the coming weeks. For inspiration, read these thoughts by philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin: “If things speak to us, it is because we are open to them, we perceive them, listen to them, and give them meaning. If things keep quiet, if they no longer speak to us, it is because we are closed.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Like all the rest of us, Virgo, you have limitations. And it’s important for you to identify them and take them into consideration. But I want to make sure you realize you also have fake limitations; you wrongly believe in the truth of some supposed limitations that are, in fact, mostly illusory or imaginary. Your job right now is to dismantle and dissolve those.

For inspiration, here’s advice from author Mignon McLaughlin: “Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.”

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else,” counseled poet and activist Maya Angelou. Author Toni Morrison said, “The function of freedom is to free someone else.”

Author and activist Nikki Giovanni wrote, “Everybody that loves freedom loves Harriet Tubman because she was determined not only to be free, but to make free as many people as she could.” I hope the wisdom of these women will be among your guiding thoughts in the coming weeks. As your own power and freedom grow, you can supercharge them—render them even more potent—by using them to help others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Man, sometimes it takes you a long time to sound like yourself,” testified Miles Davis, one of the most unique and talented jazz trumpeters and composers who ever lived. Popular and successful author Anne Lamott expressed a similar sentiment: “I’m here to be me, which is taking a great deal longer than I had hoped.” If those two geniuses found it a challenge to fully develop their special potentials, what chance do the rest of us have? I have good news in that regard, Scorpio. I believe 2022 will be a very favorable time to home in on your deepest, truest self—to ascertain and express more of your soul’s code. And you’re entering a phase when your instinct for making that happen will be at a peak.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the course of human history, three million ships have sunk to the bottom of the Earth’s seas.

At one extreme have been huge vessels, like the Titanic and naval cruisers, while at the other extreme are small fishing boats. Many of these have carried money, gems, jewelry, gold, and other precious items. Some people have made it their job to search for those treasures. I believe there could and should be a metaphorical resemblance between you and them in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time for you to hunt for valuable resources, ideas, memories, and yes, even treasures that may be tucked away in the depths, in hidden locations, and in dark places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods,” wrote author Margaret Fuller. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that your capacity for exposing and resisting falsehoods is now at a peak. Furthermore, you have a robust ability to ward off delusions, pretense, nonsense, inauthenticity, and foolishness. Don’t be shy about using your superpowers, Capricorn. Everyone you know will benefit as you zero in and focus on what’s true and genuine. And you will benefit the most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “All things are inventions of holiness,” wrote poet Mary Oliver. “Some more rascally than others.”

I agree. And I’ll add that in the coming weeks, holiness is likely to be especially rascally as it crafts its inventions in your vicinity.

Here are the shades of my meaning for the word “rascally”: unruly, experimental, mischievous, amusing, mercurial, buoyant, whimsical, and kaleidoscopic. But don’t forget that all of this will unfold under the guidance and influence of holiness. I suspect you’ll encounter some of the most amusing and entertaining outbreaks of divine intervention ever.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The year 1905 is referred to as Albert Einstein’s “Year of Miracles.” The Piscean physicist, who was 26 years old, produced three scientific papers that transformed the nature of physics and the way we understand the universe.

Among his revolutionary ideas were the theory of special relativity, the concept that light was composed of particles, and the iconic equation E = mc squared. With that information as a backdrop, I will make a bold prediction: that in 2022 you will experience your own personal version of a Year of Miracles. The process is already underway. Now it’s time to accelerate it. l
