What We’re Not Talking About
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
On Sept. 10, two young American males brought guns to campuses and opened fire. One, perched atop a Utah Valley University roof with a hunting rifle, shot and killed Charlie Kirk, a high-profile extreme right-wing activist. His death has launched an outpouring of grief among public figures, countless speeches and essays lamenting the loss of civility and free speech. There were also simultaneous demands for the cooling of violent “left-wing rhetoric” and vows for revenge from the Trump administration against supposed leftist terrorist organizations, despite no evidence of any such group’s involvement. The American flag was lowered across the country by order of the president, who also plans to bestow Kirk with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The other shooter, a 16 year old with a revolver in Vancouver, Washington, shot, reloaded and shot again at fellow Evergreen High School students, hitting two before turning the weapon on himself and taking his own life. One of the injured is stable, while the other remains in critical condition. This brings the number of school shootings to 11 in 2025, a year that’s seen 170 children killed by guns, a gutting number that, despite gun deaths being the leading killer of children in the U.S., has not launched much of anything.
Lest we get too caught up in Kirk’s hagiography as many media outlets rush to sanitize his life’s work of openly upholding white supremacy and patriarchy, and actively lobbying to strip the civil rights and safety from marginalized people, let’s remember that his legacy touches gun violence, too. A proponent of the proliferation of firearms, Kirk said, “I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”
Utah’s permissive gun laws, along with Kirk’s and 170 children’s deaths this year, are part of that deal. And following the recent passage of HB 128, the university where Kirk was shot is now an open carry campus — previously a firearm would have to be concealed while one strolled the quad.
But in the wake of Kirk’s death, talking about the reality and impact of the “controversial” views he put forth — or draping a flag over them — has become a litmus test, with Wall Street Journal columnist Karen Attiah and MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd fired for frankly calling out — or quoting — Kirk’s racist, misogynist public declarations. Universities, a number of which have bent the knee to the Trump administration for fear of crackdowns and funding loss, have also fired and suspended professors for critical comments. Former Fox News contributor and now Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth instructed staff to root out military members or “Department of War” civilian staff for mocking — or not sympathizing — with Kirk’s assassination for punishment, despite Kirk having been a civilian outside chain of command. He made a similar callout on social media.
Rather than talking about gun violence, a number of media outlets, local and national, have followed obediently, accepting the framing of the shooting as left-wing violence and decrying Democratic rhetoric, despite the depth and breadth of white supremacist, anti-LBGTQ+, antisemitic and misogynist dog whistles coming from the White House and its surrogates for years, Kirk and his peers among those blowing hardest. To see pundits calling for unity and civil discussion without acknowledging the division Kirk and those lashing out on his behalf sowed is galling.
The Wall Street Journal made the shameful call to spread the then unconfirmed and later debunked theory that engraving on the bullet casings reflected “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” The legacy newspaper’s anemic editor’s note indicating an absence of such evidence was not enough to keep the story and lurid versions of it from being scooped up by outlets like Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, The Daily Caller, Daily Wire, RedState, The Federalist, Washington Times, Fox & Friends, The Megyn Kelly Show and Newsmax, to say nothing of its swift spread across social media.
Trans people are a small, vulnerable population already in the crosshairs of so many hate groups and four times more likely to be victims of violence than cis-
gender people, despite this manufactured panic. According to the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Association Center, 96 percent of mass shooters are cisgender men. Adding to the vitriol and the whipping up of violence against trans people is indefensible.
Part of the problem is how media outlets reported on Kirk when he was alive. Presenting his bigoted and unfounded positions as worthy of debate was a mistake outlets, politicians and pundits seem eager to perpetuate, possibly because it offers a “both sides” illusion of parity. Possibly because he showed up in a suit and tie and spoke with the tenor, if not the spirit, of rationality. A digestible vocabulary, a TV meteorologist’s lack of accent, a clean-shaven white face and a calm tone of voice are sadly and demonstrably enough to make the sacrificing of Americans to gun violence an idea to be considered in mainstream discussions.
Still, we don’t want to speak ill of the dead, even if that includes their own words. Not when it’s politically expedient to drive a narrative with convenient heroes and villains to eat up airtime that might otherwise have been filled with, say, the Epstein files.
These are the debates pundits, columnists and journalists are wasting time on instead of considering the effective gun control countries like Australia and Japan have taken to curb gun deaths and mass shootings, or the high rates of firearm-related deaths in states with lax gun laws.
We could instead speak of the school shootings and gun deaths we’re told not to politicize with calls for protest and legal reform, or any action beyond thoughts and prayers — the deaths that Kirk felt were “a cost,” that he could have pushed to prevent and of which he is now one. It’s the dead we don’t speak of at all that should trouble us most. l

On Seriously?
Editor:
What a treat to read Jennifer Fumiko Cahill’s deliciously subtle sarcasm (“Our Democracy is Crumbling Before My Eyes and Women Still Won’t Sleep with Me,” Sept. 11). It’s a style that you don’t see much these days. I hope we’ll see more of it. I’m sure she should win an award for writing it.
Bill Morris, Eureka
Editor:
A review of new editor’s tongue-incheek piece about a disgruntled young male who voted for the rump … . Kinda cute, but a lot of words to just say, “I’m a dumbass.”
Ryan Lee, Glendale
Editor:
Just have to give huge kudos to Jennifer Fumiko Cahill’s hilarious and spot-on explanation of who the hell voted for this shit!!!! This take is so far ahead of every other serious or parody version on this topic that I’ve seen. She covers so many nuances of our current situation in this country, and she blows up the “poor, lonely white men” BS. I always enjoy JFC’s contributions to NCJ; this was just beyond the pale for excellence.

About Proposition 50
Editor:
We are in serious trouble! We have a special election this Nov. 4th in California to vote on Proposition 50: The Election Rigging Response Act, and I implore everyone to vote Yes on Prop. 50. The GOP senators in Texas and Missouri have gerrymandered their voting districts against Democrats. This is a countermeasure and it is temporary. There’s lots of money and slick brochures “flooding the zone” against this measure; please don’t fall for a billionaire’s (Charles T. Munger, Jr.) lies.
Also, there is a peaceful protest rally this Saturday, the 20th at the courthouse, noon-2 p.m. in solidarity with the Women’s March organization’s demonstration in N.Y. and nationwide. Please join us, we need you in this resistance.
And if you haven’t, I so recommend seeing the play, What the Constitution Means to Me ... very powerful!
Kathryn Travers, Eureka
Editor:
Republicans are complaining that while 40 percent of the state vote went to
Trump, they hold only about 24 percent of the state seats in the legislature. What about Texas then, is that fair? Let’s see. They have about 58 percent of the seats in the Texas Legislature. Democrats have about 46.5 percent of the total voter registration. Texas doesn’t list party affiliation, however when there is a partisan primary, that voter’s choice is recorded. In other words, Texas is heavily gerrymandered. Republicans don’t mention this when they cry about gerrymandered California, and who can blame them. I’m voting yes on redistricting.
John Dillon, Eureka
Editor:
Proposition 50 isn’t just about redistricting, it’s about President Trump’s ability to maintain his autocracy through the remainder of his term. He has this power now because the GOP controls both Congressional houses, but he could lose it if the Democrats win one chamber next year.
Trump knows his unpopularity hurts the GOP’s odds of winning, so he’s found a way to improve them; create more GOP favored districts in Congress. Under his orders, Texas did so, creating five more such districts; and now other states are following suit.
The only way to overcome this electoral handicap and rebalance the table is for the Democrats to do the same.
This is why Californians can do their part by passing Proposition 50, thus creating five equalizing Democrat districts.
Trump has two more years to serve after 2026; let’s not just let him serve as a dictator. Vote “Yes” on Proposition 50.
Sherman Schapiro, Eureka
After Afghan Quake, many male rescuers aided
only men, avoided women
(headline, Boston Globe)
The moon burns bright enough to see but I’m not allowed glasses it’s all blurry to me
The night is so quiet there’s hardly any noise no more cries from the little boys
We looked at each other disbelieving the shake moved in a panic as the walls started to break
We rushed into the hall too late to get away the roof came down and here we stay
I was there to learn food bribed my way in teaching one like me is considered a sin
Rescuers are coming I watch with dread forbidden to touch me they will leave me for dead
Remember me please and share what I bore disasters kill many religion kills more

The Art of Tattoo: Inked Hearts
Story and photos by Mark Larson newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
Organizers Ted and Amy Marks from Nor Cal Tattoo expanded on their annual February Inked Hearts Tattoo Expo in Blue Lake by adding a first-ever Inked Hearts Summer Arts Tattoo Expo event on Sept. 13 and 14 in The Sapphire Palace room at the Blue Lake Casino and Hotel.
“It looks like a success, as 85 percent of the tattoo artists are new to Inked Hearts and their appointments are booked up,” Ted Marks said on Sunday afternoon. “Our goal was to have talented new artists with fresh new styles, and with lots of …
Kelsey Hershey, of McKinleyville, was pleased with her ladybug tattoo done by tattoo artist Haley Gogue from Hen House Tattoo in Grants Pass.
The first-ever Inked Hearts Summer Arts event featured more new tattoo artists and more art and jewelry vendors compared to February’s annual expo held in the same location.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Michael Th as and Michael Jaye
Michael Thomas has lived in Humboldt County since 1993, first in Trinidad and then in Bayside since 2006. Michael Jaye, originally from the Midwest, visited Humboldt for eight years before moving here permanently 2 ½ years ago. The two first met while studying music and theater at Northwestern University and later reconnected on Facebook.
They have been shopping at Murphy’s Sunny Brae location since 2006. “It’s convenient, close to home, and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The customer service you get here is unlike anywhere else,” they said. Weekly specials and the store’s easy layout keep them coming back. Michael Thomas always buys almond milk and Taylor’s Turkey Italian Sausage, while Michael Jaye is a fan of the seafood department, especially scallops, oysters, and mussels. He also visits the hot bar and soup bar regularly, praising Je and Jessica for their excellent service. Both love the meat, seafood, and organic produce departments, as well as favorites like the meat department’s pollo asada and local pie selections.
“The customer service is fantastic. Employees go above and beyond,” they shared, adding that Murphy’s consistently supports local schools, youth sports, and fundraising e orts. For them, Murphy’s isn’t just a grocery store— it’s a hub of consistency, community, and connection.
appointment times available for anyone walking in to get a tattoo. We also added more and different types of art and jewelry vendors compared to our February Inked Hearts event.”
First-time vendor at Inked Hearts Sarah Jane Irwin, of Arcata, said, “Everyone is so nice and I even got this cow skull tattoo from my next-door tattoo artist Jessica Orsua from 12 Monkey Tattoos in Tracy.”
“Ted and I have fully taken over Inked Hearts and the venue in the Sapphire Palace inside the Blue Lake Casino remains,” said Amy Marks last February. “After considering moving it, we worked it out to keep Inked Hearts at the casino, as we enjoy having lodging, food and entertainment in one location.”
A wide mix of attendees seemed to be enjoying the quieter atmosphere in the venue, the availability of walk-in appointment times, the food truck vendors, live music in the evening and “Best of Day & Show Tattoo” awards and contests each day. l
Stefan John, of Arcata, shared a look at his new inprogress scorpion tattoo done by Korrin Williams from Rob Hill Tattoos in Ventura. He said scorpions are his favorite arachnid and also it is his zodiac sign. The Tattoo Expo Summer edition featured many
marketing posters like this one by artist Zoe Harper from Redding.
A Different World is Considered
In the Floyd Bettiga Art Gallery at College of the Redwoods, we all knew what artist Laura Corsiglia meant when she said, “there are so many problems in the world.” These days such a phrase is a dime a dozen but standing there watching the rain come down onto the concrete, feeling no objection or confusion bubble into being at the suggestion that the world we live in could be, perhaps at best, problematic, there was a refreshing sense of understanding that seemed to wash over the room. For one reason or another, everyone in the gallery was led to gather in this place — to be threaded together for a moment in time. This is one of the many powers of art. As curator and CR professor Gabrielle Gopinath suggests: a reimagining of the word “materialism” harkening back to its philosophical origins could mean “a big picture model of everything connected together.” A Different Worl d is Possible, exhibiting at the campus through Oct. 3, is this dynamism incarnate.
This exhibit sees the works of Laura Corsiglia, Kit Davenport and Jason Marak come together to delight us in a dissolution of boundaries between worlds — where the obscure becomes familiar and the familiar becomes strange. While these artists and their work are quite different, they are, to Gopinath, “different fish going down the same river.” This curator’s rapport with the artwork, as well as her recognition of the threads that connect
them, is what has brought the show to the Floyd Bettiga Art Gallery. These artists have set down roots in Humboldt County, each with their own history of migratory patterns that have informed their story and work.
While these artists and their work are quite different, they are, to Gopinath, “different fish going down the same river.”
Corsiglia, who was led to Humboldt Bay by birds, entreats us to discover animality existing in natural chaos. “We are animals,” she says, and reckoning with this invites the viewer — or anyone — to access what is real in the world experienced through the cognition of animals, cells or particles. Her use of vibrant paint and ink on paper teases at landscapes without taking these forms for granted. Inked over these colors can be found hybrid creatures of Corsiglia’s own design, invoking a variety of organisms, including humans. Her work often cascades across the page in immense detail that, for me, is reminiscent of Song Xu’s 16th century landscape paintings in their deliberate busyness and the tendency of her forms to rise and fall on the paper like the ghost of mountains, as can be observed in her
piece “Building Blocks of Life.” The way her work becomes an uncanny reminder of earthly forms is a thread that continues in the work of Davenport.
“Language is sensory and elusive,” Davenport says with the kind of warmth and humility housed in the heart of a veteran artist. Even to describe her work in sculpture and painting is to accept that words are fickle. Her process in ceramics starts in a sketchbook, where paint and colored pencil bring to life something organismal. Then the ceramic process begins, during which the drawing and the sculpture talk to each other. Her ceramic works are characterized by a flowing energy and invoke images of experimental alchemic instruments — yet very alive. Long aortic tendrils in “For Zuzu” appear as though exchanging liquid in some natural process. Their stillness is captured mid-breath, their smoothness is flesh-like. In observing them, they become a reminder of the body: that every organism and non-organism is embodied. In this exhibit, there are no hard lines between worlds.
In Marak’s work, he lets A and B exist together: where flesh, bone and plant intersect as one contiguous, energetic whole. (Full disclosure: Marak is the spouse of the Journal’s managing editor.) Marak appears committed to a specific

system of hatched texture that invokes DNA or threads of matter itself. I can’t shake the feeling of observing something familiar in the alien of “FloraFauna 1.” Flowers and fists implicating each other reach up from the earth and seem to hang in staunch defiance of … something. Marak is inspired by vertical forms, which is recurrent across his work in the exhibit. In addition to being a visual artist, he is a writer, and at times these mediums intersect. He quotes poet William Carlos Williams stating, “a poem is a small or large machine made of words,” and this is to say that every piece of a poem (or any type of art) is applied for a purpose. He says, “the elements are there, but it’s a matter of perception and access to it.”
Gopinath describes a “marvelousness” that draws these artists together. The “marvelous” is a concept in Surrealist art that describes the strangeness of contradictions in the “real” world falling away into something closer to acceptance. Indeed, there is a strangeness in believing to see mountains or veins in what is vegetal or vaporized, but it all fits together into a picture of threads that can hold the weight of all these things. Perhaps what the exhibit seeks to show us is this nonbinary quality and how we are all pulled into it. ●
The exhibit A Different World is Possible is at the Floyd Bettiga Art Gallery, located in Building 100 of the Creative Arts Complex on the College of the Redwoods’ main campus, through Oct. 3. It is open to the public from noon to 3 p.m. on Mondays and from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays.
Sasha Senal (she/they) is a writer, environmental educator and aspiring farmer. She can be found exploring Humboldt forests (not unlike her home redwoods on the Sonoma Coast) and considering Black eco-feminism.

“And when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die.” — David Lynch, as FBI Chief Gordan Cole, to Denise Bryson, a transwoman and FBI agent played by David Duchovny
Some artists seem supernatural in their attenuation because they show empathy during ignorant and careless times, which, in this country, is basically any time in history. David Lynch did that, and he always inspired me to dig for and root out love in the darkest, most evil places. If you see the above quote and consider it a threat, rather than an invocation for the “better angels of our nature” to overcome a darkness, then I would gently suggest that you are veering dangerously close to being guided by that darkness, rather than the divine fireflies circling around the dung heap of humanity’s collective id.
The good news is that while there is breath in the body, there is always time for redemption and the cascading force of love that is purifying but not annihilating like fire, and cleansing but not extinguishing or suffocating like water. Like the song says about Christ, in love there is no east or west, nor north or south, but fellowship throughout the world and beyond. I’ve leaned on this organizing principle as a challenge quite a few times and have gotten a variety of reactions: most good and some a little deranged, reacting as if to different words entirely. You can always tell a haunted and troubled soul by its reaction to a peaceful suggestion for clarity as if it were evoking violence. This makes sense to anyone who has seen real violence and pandemonium and knows a little about the evil that possesses the hearts of those who roll over and give into the tempo of that orgy.
Sigmund Freud was a great many things, not all of them particularly good. But he was a perceptive genius alone among few thinkers in the early part of the last century for his thoughts on the phenomenon of Projection and the ruthlessness of the Death Drive. The latter powers
the engines of fascism, a black hole that can never be satisfied, a vacuum that will suck the breath out of every living thing if given the chance. To the extent that that vacuum exists inside of your own heart, even as a homeopathic dose, a shard of begrudging shrapnel, you must fix it. Or die. And please don’t die. The world is a better place with you living in it in a better way. I want you here, too. I promise you that the act of contrition is worth the spectral pain of the loss of hate. I have done it many times myself and have only breathed better and deeper afterwards. Have a great week.
Thursday
Fairly new Arcata venue Froth is hosting a banger tonight with Tijuana hardcore band Hong Kong Fuck You returning to the area as headliners. On the undercard for support you will find some of our own local distorted treasures: Brain Dead Rejects, Gourmandizer, Psyop Victim and Radical Apes. This is an early show with doors at 5 p.m. and, despite the $15 door price, is in danger of selling out.
Friday
San Francisco’s Fisherman Tiki Band has roots in Humboldt going back to the ’90s and will be bringing its retro-tinged, tropic ambience to the Logger Bar as part of the Regal Beagle takeover of the venue for the evening, ahead of the North Country Fair in Arcata. Starting at 5 p.m., there will be music provided by the group, followed by a DJ set by Birdie the Tiki Girl and closing out with another set from the band featuring local musician Marla Joy. There will be drink specials and sandwiches for sale, as well, all bundled under the umbrella theme of tiki bar Tropicália from days past and future. Come check it out.
Saturday
It’s a good night to be blue all over. Here are some musical considerations appropriate to that theme. At 8 p.m. at the Arcata Playhouse, blues singer and returning champion Earl Thomas will be joined by red hot guitarist Anthony Cullins and assorted musicians to fill the joint with the
searing blue flames of classic heart-born American music. The price to hear and see what that means in practice is $20. Meanwhile, over at Humbrews an hour later, you can hear the prog-rock jam stylings of Chico’s Blü Egyptian, along with local openers Blue Rhythm Revue. The folks from Chico have been on a more-orless non-stop tour for the past few years, which has done wonders to buttress their reputation as an act worth seeing in the crowded noodle market of jamsters and freewheeling boogie merchants ($15).
Sunday
Who doesn’t love peace? Well, it turns out a bunch of people, especially in this country and its colonial client states. A worrying amount, actually, if you give any time to think about it. Which I would prefer to avoid at the moment, and in the words of Johnny Mercer paraphrasing Father Divine, “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive, eliminate the negative.” You can win one for the side of peace by heading to Garberville today at 4:30 p.m., when the town and its Rotarians will be celebrating the erection of a peace pole in the town center, set to the music of The Cronies

I might as well toss in one of my periodic reminders to go check out the Opera Alley Cats at the SpeakEasy at 7 p.m. They’re good and it’s free, minus the cost of whatever you feel like pouring down the hatch from behind the bar.
Wednesday
The Outer Space is hosting an all-ages evening of dreamy music starting at 7 p.m., with Los Angeles shoegaze heroes Mo Dotti heading the bill. Also on the marquee is the bedroom indie pop of Jess Carey, aka Mold, and a new project by March Adstrum and Gabriel Izak called, appropriately, octobercountry.The door charge is a sliding-scale $10-$20, but that has been traditionally negotiable for those of you suffering from several quarters now of Trump-o-Bidenomics. ●

Magical Comb Jellies
By Mike Kelly washedup@northcoastjournal.com
When I was a kid, my babysitter was a witch. She was a typical pointy-hatted, spell-casting witch. But she was also a marine biology major at Humboldt State University, so she’d take me on her broom to the beach after school to look for washed-up stuff.
One day she said, “Look, my lovely, the beach is covered in Satan’s testicles!”
Thousands of marble-sized clear blobs were washing in. She said, “Sorry, they are actually called ‘comb jellies.’ See, I used to date a guy named Satan, so I knew I couldn’t trust him. I cast a spell so that if he ever cheated on me, his testicles would turn into exploding glass marbles engineered to shred his scrotum. Um, this species of comb jelly looks like our common Pacific sea gooseberry (Pleurobrachia bachei).”
I didn’t understand any of this, but I liked marbles and explosions, so it sounded fun.
Then she said, “Comb jellies are jellyfish-like, but most scientists believe they are unrelated to typical umbrella-shaped jellyfish. And the comb jellies are currently placed in their own phylum — Ctenophora — which means they aren’t part of any other animal group. However, some scientists argue that jellyfish and comb jellies may have branched off from a common ancestor. Either way, they are ancient — both groups have been around for at least 500 million years.”
She continued, “But there are only about 200 species of comb jellies in the world. Compare that to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders and crustaceans, and includes millions of species as diverse as black widows and praying mantises. The diversity of comb jelly body types is low, but while most are bulbous, there’s a ribbon-like species in the tropics that can reach 5 feet long. And there’s another with a big mouth that feeds primarily on other comb jellies.”
Then we scooped some up and flew to the marine lab to put them in a tank. “See
how they have those eight rows of colorful little hairs on the sides of their bodies? Those hairs are called ‘cilia’ and they beat in sequence up and down the animal’s body so it can swim. The cilia split sunlight like a prism, which produces that beautiful pulsing rainbow effect.”
She pointed out the two feathery tentacles hanging from either side of the animal. “Those are the feeding arms,” she said. “Unlike jellyfish, the arms don’t have stinging cells. Instead, they have sticky cells that capture small planktonic animals, which the arms then carry to the comb jelly’s mouth. And the comb jellies can reproduce quickly when prey is abundant, so population explosions are common in the summer. In fact, they can become so dense that they eat up all their prey and the prey of other species in an area. They can even gum up fishing gear and marine infrastructure.”
I pointed out they were slow swimmers and weren’t exploding. She pointed out that I was getting cranky and needed a snack. But first she said, “Yes, comb jellies mostly drift with currents. The beating cilia mainly help them orient to improve feeding efficiency. However, when prey becomes scarce, they can fold their tentacles inside through their mouth to swim more quickly to find food.”
While having my snack, I asked what happened to her boyfriend. She said, “His testicles exploded, so I dumped him.”
My babysitter witch earned her marine biology degree and became a career professional with one of the federal oceanic agencies. But some wacky billionaires seized control of the government and fired her without giving a reason.
I pity the billionaires whose testicles she is now contemplating. l

Demons Out!
The Conjuring: Last Rites
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill screens@northcoastjournal.com
THE CONJURING: LAST RITES. Since The Conjuring premiered in 2013, director/ producer James Wan’s extended horror universe has been a reliable source of scares. Real-life (though less credibly real) paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren have served as a well of exploits from which to draw, with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga portraying them as intrepid souls doing battle with darkness, bearing the burden of their gifts together. Though truly, Farmiga could probably furrow her brow and turn her steady gaze onto a coffee can and convince us she’s in love.
Along with the costume designers’ generous interpretation of Lorraine’s personal style (stay for the credits for photos and footage of interviews, if you don’t have an aversion to ruffles), the movies have skipped the allegations that Ed committed statutory rape of a 15-year-old Judith Penny and the long-term relationship that she says followed. The details of her allegations are on par with the creepiness of Annabelle the haunteddoll. And while the idea of the Warrens being frauds didn’t give me much pause in enjoying the movies based on their exploits, learning about Penny took quite a bit of shine off even a cursed mirror, particularly as their familial wholesomeness is played up here.
But even those who insist they can separate the art from the exorcist will likely find the final installment of the Warren movies (perhaps not the last we’ll see of the evil nun and doll, though) lackluster and maudlin. Like the Warrens, the movie seems concerned with legacy, and far too much screen time is devoted to their family, perfect marriage, dad’s wariness of his daughter’s boyfriend Tony (Ben Hardy), and other aspects of their family life outside haunted houses, which, now, give me the wrong kind of heebie-jeebies. Though taking guests at their backyard barbecue down to the basement repository of cursed objects for tours got laughs in the theater, I don’t know that I needed to see a man-to-man ping-pong battle between Tony and Ed in the garage.
In Pennsylvania, the expansive Smurl family has been beset by a dark presence
or three — manifesting in apparitions, freak accidents and vomiting glass — since receiving an antique mirror with an ominous crack and a trio of hideously carved cherubs. It’s an object the Warrens encountered decades before, when Lorraine was pregnant, nearly costing them their now grown daughter Judy’s (Mia Tomlinson) life. At first, they decline the case, owing to Ed’s heart condition, but upon the death of a friendly priest who’d been trying to help the Smurls and learning of the mirror, they get back in the game, sonin-law-to-be in tow.
There are still a handful of solid scares, including the de rigueur fast-crawling, levitating, bed slithering and the always effective doll in rocking chair. A couple inventive moments using scale and the magic of VHS tapes deliver goosebumps and possible nightmares, too. But the pacing and focus feel off. Outside of scenes with demonic wrangling, Wilson seems out of his depth. And I’m not sure when everyone started farewelling franchises with montages, but wrapping up the Warrens’ tales with the same cringe-inducing format as the last of the Fifty Shades of Grey movies feels all kinds of wrong.

Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www. coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506.
WARNING-IMPORTAN INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

OBITUARIES
LEGALS?
Trustee
Susan “Sue” Elizabeth Swanson August 3, 1957 - July 21, 2025
Susan “Sue” Elizabeth Swanson passed away peacefully on July 21, 2025, at the age of 67, after an extended stay in a care facility in Eureka, California.
Born in Eureka on August 3, 1957, Sue was the heart of her family as the middle of three children. She grew up exploring the redwoods, walking the streets of her hometown, and forming lifelong friendships that carried her through the years. After graduating from Eureka High School, she earned her degree in Business Administration from Humboldt State University, paving the way for a long and accomplished career in media advertising and mall management.
Sue was a respected member of the Eureka community, serving on several local committees and contributing her time and talents to causes she believed in. In her work, she was known not only for her professionalism and creativity but also for the warmth and camaraderie she brought to the workplace. Her coworkers genuinely enjoyed working alongside her, and she built many lifelong friendships during her years in advertising. Her life outside of work was rich with passions and simple joys. She could often be found in her garden, hands in the soil, surrounded by the colors and scents she nurtured with care. Her dogs were her loyal companions, never far from her side. She had a gift for capturing beauty through a camera lens, with Yosemite National Park holding a special place in her heart and photo albums. Quilting was another creative outlet, and her skill and artistry earned her awards at the Humboldt County Fair.
Susan is survived by her brothers, Bill and Doug Swanson. She leaves behind her niece, Carli Forsythe, and her husband, Ben; her great nephew, Jonah; and great nieces, Bella, Tessa, Kylie, and Hayden. In keeping with her wishes, no formal service will be held.

BURGER WEEK
Welcome to NCJ Burger Week!
Deep breaths, people. This year’s NCJ Burger Week has 35 tender contenders to tempt you at locations around the county over 10 days. They come grilled and smashed, stacked and smothered. Are you here for the cheese? Havarti, cheddar, queso fresco, Swiss, Gouda and brie are all here. These local restaurants have beef … grass-fed, brisket, corned and tri-tip, plus chorizo, boar, elk, bacon and soppressata. And you can get lost in the sauce with Thai-style peanut, blackberry aioli, pesto, barbecue, balsamic and gochujang, or plain old ketchup.
Before you fall into a food coma, be sure to vote for who gets a trophy (see page 6). Hey, you gonna eat your pickle?
NCJ Burger Week Pro Tips
Sometimes restaurants run out of burgers.
Good news: #NCJBurgerWeek will be even meatier than last year’s event! That also means more fellow diners showing up and, because kitchens aren’t sta ed with genies and supplies are not infinite, a given restaurant could run out of its #NCJBurgerWeek burger toward the end of a shift. If that happens, know that we feel your pain and it’s going to be OK. There’s always a tomorrow when you can come back and order the burger we all want you to have. Don’t let your hangry self get the better of you and remember that making and serving burgers is a noble calling. Be kind to those doing this important work.
Yes, you may have to wait.
As mentioned above, folks are excited for #NCJBurgerWeek.
Word about last year has spread and your favorite participating spot may go from sleepy to packed. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little. Treat yourself to a beverage. Revel in the anticipation. And when your burger shows up in all its juicy glory, post about it on social media using #NCJBurgerWeek and you could win a prize.
Not tipping makes you that customer.
Don’t be that customer.
We all get caught up in the excitement of a deal. But don’t lose your manners and remember the folks cooking and serving are handling more orders and delivering a gourmet burger during
the frenzy that is #NCJBurgerWeek. Tip at least 20% and walk out with your head held high, making your parents and the NCJ team proud. Your patty purveyors will remember it when you come back.
You should get some fries and a drink, too.
You’re not required to buy anything else but can you really say you’ve had the full experience without some kind of fried side and a beverage? This is the perfect time to try out the fries, onion rings and other goodies our restaurant pals are dishing out while showing a little love to local businesses. Is there craft beer on the menu? Milkshakes? Go big or go home, burger fans.
You can keep up with the madness on Facebook and Instagram.
#NCJBurgerWeek is on Facebook and Instagram. Follow us and get up-to-date info on everything #NCJBurgerWeek while you peruse the foodporn. And don’t be shy — join the fun and share your own burger photos using #NCJBurgerWeek.

TASTE THE DIFFERENCE
Lush, pristine pastures, fertile soils, cool summers, mild winters, and dedicated local family ranchers combine to make Humboldt County the ideal place for authentic grassfed beef. Cattle are raised without hormones or antibiotics while being allowed to graze naturally on perennial grasslands.
A dedication to stewardship of the land, cattle and the natural resources provided by the uniqueness of our climate ensures that beef provided by Humboldt Grassfed Beef is wholesome, healthy, and great tasting.
Humboldt County’s long growing season is ideal for raising premium authentic grassfed beef, ensuring our
customers a fresh product year round.
At Humboldt Grassfed Beef we believe in gaining and maintaining the trust of our customers by providing healthy natural beef using local ranchers who share our values. Values like sustainable agricultural practices, humane handling, and a commitment to the local community.
Humboldt Grassfed Beef cattle come from ranches throughout Northern California from ranchers that have been stewards of the land and cattle for generations. Our partnership with these ranchers helps us to meet our goal of providing beef with the best flavor while being sensitive and respectful of our natural resources.
Small family ranchers are an important part of Humboldt Grassfed Beef’s success. Our partnership with these generational ranchers and independent markets make our product a truly Northern California experience that our customers can be proud to serve to their families.
