Swainson’s Return In mid-May: A passing rain opens the day.

Finally, on cue, the evening sun, Casts colored light across the tops of trees, And peers through the kitchen window, Suddenly weaving the day Into a great, hushing pause.

Even the hissing whispers of grandma’s gossip, Under cast iron clangs, ceramic dings, And the thwaps of the back screen door, Chasing kids coming in with handfuls of azaleas And a last trillium, bedazzled in rain, Stops.

Outside, the cigar men might gather up Into their circle of backyard chairs, But even their stories and ribbing, Will slow to nods and long glances Before fading into evening’s silent choir.

Then, as the light draws close, A thrush announces summer’s arrival, A circling imminence, soaring, Freeing them all from this day.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 21, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

t feels as though loss has come to surround us lately. Our children have lost the opportunity to go to school, tear through playgrounds, have playdates, finish their sports seasons, dance at prom and walk across a graduation stage. We adults have lost the ability to go out to dinner with a friend, have the neighbors over for a barbecue, catch that band coming to town, go to the gym and generally connect and socialize in the ways we’re accustomed. Too many of us have also lost jobs and livelihoods, watched the businesses we spent years or even decades building up sit shuttered as rent payments fall past due. Some of us can no longer make ends meet.

And now, some of us have lost loved ones and we as a community have lost two elders to this disease. That’s two lives cut short, two families unable to sit at the bedside as someone they loved transitioned out of this life and into whatever’s next. We need to collectively take some time to acknowledge that loss, to feel it and to contemplate what it means for those most closely affected.

We also need to put this into the context of what comes next, the choices that each of us make in the weeks and months to come.

There are those who feel, because this disease is disproportionately devastating for seniors and those with underlying health issues, that what we need to do is simply keep those populations home so “the rest of us” can get back to our lives.

But that’s a fantasy scenario for coping with a virus that is deadly real.

Let’s consider the case of Alder Bay Assisted Living, which has now seen five staff members and seven residents fall ill, including the two who died. From all official accounts, the facility was doing everything right: prohibiting visitors, screening employees for symptoms and vigilantly disinfecting. But according to Health Officer Teresa Frankovich, an employee contracted the virus somewhere out in the community and unwittingly carried it into the facility. Once there, it has spread like wildfire.

“Why aren’t they testing employees?” some ask, inferring some gross negligence on the facility’s part. The answer is simple: Due in part to a woefully inadequate federal response, tests that return instant results aren’t widely available. So facilities do the best they can to monitor employees for symptoms and put safety protocols in

place, knowing full well that people who contract COVID-19 are contagious before the onset of symptoms, while as many as 40 percent never develop any symptoms.

So to a huge degree, the ability of these facilities to keep COVID-19 outside their doors depends on the steps all of us take to keep it from circulating through the local community. The more virus that’s out there being passed around at grocery stores, restaurants and gatherings, the more likely someone working at a skilled nursing facility will catch it. We’re now seeing where that road leads.

In a particularly blunt assessment to the board of supervisors, Frankovich said: “We’re going to have additional deaths.

That is the cost of COVID.” There’s no escaping that. More of us will die. Studies show it will be our elders, our frail neighbors and frontline workers that bear the brunt of illness and death.

But it will surely touch others, too. And there’s no way to wall off your choices from this horrible reality.

So if you refuse to wear your mask because it’s inconvenient, decide to drive over to Redding for a sit-down dinner because you’re tired of cooking, open your casino or throw a party because you feel this somehow won’t affect you, you’re contributing to the spread of this virus.

You’re increasing the chances that a staffer at a skilled nursing facility, someone who has dedicated their professional life to taking care of those unable to care for themselves, catches the virus while at a grocery store and sparks a deadly cluster like the one we’re seeing at Alder Bay. On the flip side, you can put on that mask, limit your outings, make sure your business is operating as safely as possible and look for ways to support and care for the vulnerable around you, knowing that you’re saving lives in the process.

These are the choices we each face.

The truth is COVID-19 is going to cost us each a lot. It need not, however, take our souls. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor and prefers she/her pronouns.

Open to Walk-in

County begins approving safety plans for re-opening businesses

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Humboldt County Emergency Operations Center has approved at least 180 retail business health and safety operational plans, giving them the green light to re-open to walk-in customers.

On May 14, the state approved the county’s certification that it is ready to exercise local control over stage two of reopening and easing shelter-in-place restrictions, giving the county the ability to move faster than the rest of the state if officials deem it prudent. Stage two of reopening began May 8, when Gov. Gavin Newsom gave the OK for retail businesses to open for curbside pickup and proceed gradually to see retail businesses, childcare centers, offices and dine-in restaurants allowed to re-open once their revised operational plans are approved by the county.

Meanwhile, the county confirmed five new positive COVID-19 cases May 19, continuing a recent spike that has seen 31 new cases over the past 11 days, with 12 of them — including two deaths — related to an outbreak at Alder Bay Assisted Living. The county currently has 27 active cases and has deemed a total of 14 cases to have been the result of community transmission, meaning the the person who tested positive had no known contacts with other cases, hadn’t traveled outside the area and is believed to have contracted the virus through an unknown source in the community. Humboldt County Public Health Officer Teresa Frankovich has said officials are monitoring the situation at Al-

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 21, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

der Bay closely, as well as general infection rates, and are prepared to “pause” or even roll back the easing of shelter-in-place restrictions as needed. The estimated incubation period for the virus runs up to 14 days, so it’s likely at least the bulk of the recent spike — if not all of it — is so far unrelated to the soft re-opening that began May 8.

The Emergency Operations Center received more than 230 operational plans from businesses to review, according Sheriff Wililam Honsal. Frankovich said a team has been assembled to review these plans and, if needed, provide feedback.

“We have, as part of that team, people who do enforcement, code enforcement, people who do business development, and people who are more on the public health end,” she said. “For instance, some of our registered environmental health specialists may be part of that group to look at specific industries. And so they’ll be reviewing your plan, they will understand what the governor’s guidance is all around those sectors, and then they’ll be able to look at it and think, this fits, this is perfect, or be able to look and go, this piece might not be quite right, here’s what you can do to fix that.”

Frankovich and Honsal have been urging businesses of all types — even those listed in stage two of re-opening plans, like nail salons and movie theaters, and are thus prohibited from re-opening in any capacity for the foreseeable future — to begin crafting health and safety plans so they are prepared when the time comes.

And the county wants all local organizations — even those allowed to continue operations while providing “essential” services under shelter in place — to develop new operational plans to minimize risk to employees and the public.

The county has said it wants to address four basic elements: how the organization plans to maintain at least 6 feet of social distancing for all employees and customers at all times; protocols for monitoring employees for symptoms and making sure they stay home when ill; plans for frequent cleaning and sanitizing of surfaces; and access to hand washing facilities Currently, the county has put templates for reopening plans for 22 separate sectors up on its website and is encouraging people to fill them out as soon as possible, regardless of when their sector is slated to open. But Honsal has also cautioned that people should give their plans some serious thought and read up on Centers for Disease Control and California Department of Public Health guidelines before filling out the forms, which he said can take up to 90 minutes.

The county has also posted four sample plans on its website — for agriculture and livestock, construction, office workspaces and retail businesses — to give people a sense of what needs to be included in a suitable plan. The retail plan, for example, includes provisions to conduct pre-shift health checks of every employee, the use of disposable utensils, condiment packages and menus, contactless payment methods, protocols for sanitizing fitting rooms between use and requiring employees to wear facial coverings. The sample office workspace plan, meanwhile, states the office will implement health screenings for employees and members of the public entering the office, prohibit congregating in common areas, limit meetings and implement staggered schedules to minimize the number of people in the office at any time, while employees will be required to wear facial coverings and will be urged to avoid sharing workspaces and phones. The sample plan also would “limit self-service and common food and beverage items (e.g., coffee station).”

It’s unclear just how quickly the county intends to move through the re-opening process, but the governor’s plan allows it to begin allowing retail, manufacturing, logistical, childcare, office-based and select service businesses, like car washes, pet groomers and landscapers, to begin re-opening when the county approves their plans. (Dine-in restaurants and shopping malls are not yet cleared to re-open, but will come later in stage two, while businesses like bars, salons, movie theaters, casinos and hotels, as well as

in-person religious services and indoor museums, come in stage three.)

In a press release, Frankovich indicated the recent case spike will slow the process down, at least temporarily.

“We have to acknowledge that two weeks ago our case numbers looked different than they do today,” she said in a press release. “Although clearly many, but not all, of our recent cases have been

related to the same case cluster, we have to move forward more gradually than we had originally planned. Today, under the expanded stage two, our first step will be to allow those businesses currently open for curbside pickup or delivery to begin serving customers indoors once they have plans for in-store service in place. Some lower risk outdoor retail businesses with approved plans may also open. We will

move forward balancing health and safety with the clear need for social and economic recovery within our county.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

Gov. Gavin Newsom File

Schools Face Prospect of Layoffs, Furloughs as State Budget Gets Slashed

By Ricardo Cano, CalMatters

C

alifornia’s public schools, physically closed since mid-March and strapped for cash, are coming out of a frying pan and into a financial fire.

The fire comes in the form of a $6.5 billion cut to schools’ main source of funding as well as other reductions in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s revised budget that, if enacted, would mean single-year reductions to public education greater than those experienced during the Great Recession a decade ago, according to advocates.

Newsom’s budget includes several nooks and crannies that ease a $15.1 billion shortfall for K-12 schools and community colleges. Still, the proposed education cuts arrive as schools expect to tack on more costs in order to safely reopen their doors for teachers and students in the fall.

That leads us to the frying pan: About 7 in 10 California school districts were spending more money than they were receiving prior to the pandemic, according to the California School Boards Association, and 40 percent were already weighing employee layoffs to help offset rising costs.

“School districts are in this very, very difficult place where they’re supposed to achieve things they’ve never done before

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 21, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

and implement really deep budget cuts simultaneously,” said Kevin Gordon, a veteran education lobbyist.

Newsom’s revised $203 billion state budget includes across-the-board cuts that he said could be partially averted if the federal government provides assistance. Public education, which accounts for about 40 percent of the state’s budget, would be significantly impacted by a 10 percent cut, or $6.5 billion, to the Local Control Funding Formula the state uses to award money to schools.

Also gone would be many of the proposals for expanded preschool and teacher training and recruitment Newsom laid out in January, when he and lawmakers had advanced a record $84 billion budget for K-12 schools and community colleges.

One pandemic later, the state’s financial outlook has shifted significantly. Instead of adding to years of steady investments in public education and early childhood programs, state leaders now will have to decide what to salvage and where to cut, while local school officials will have to figure out those trickle-down effects on their local budgets.

Education advocates credited the governor for making moves that helped cauterize the $15.1 billion shortfall in educa-

tion funding. For example, Newsom plans to steer $4.4 billion in federal CARES Act pandemic relief funds for schools to use to address students’ learning loss during distance learning. The governor also proposed temporarily reducing the rate school districts must contribute to cover employee pension obligations, effectively freeing up $2.3 billion in local budgets in the near term.

Newsom, who grew up with dyslexia, also plans to keep $645 million in special education funding he proposed in January, saying that “we are not even close to where we need to be in terms of protecting those folks.”

And while schools should expect a 10 percent decrease in the flat, per-pupil base grants every district receives under the state’s funding formula, Newsom vowed to protect the extra amounts the formula channels to schools with higher concentrations of students who are English learners, low-income or foster youth.

Still, the proposed cuts could spell financial catastrophe for schools akin to the cuts students experienced during the Great Recession, when services and programs were slashed and more than 30,000 educators were laid off, leaving long-lasting damage to the state’s teacher workforce.

“In that context, the cuts are too severe,” said Ted Lempert, president of the Children Now youth advocacy group.

So-called categorical services — such as after-school programs for kids, career technical training and adult education — are slated for a $353 million cut in the governor’s proposal. Advocates fear disadvantaged students will bear the brunt of the looming cuts, similar to recession-era cuts they say disproportionately affected the state’s poorest students.

“We need to be getting extra support to make sure that every kid is getting some significant learning right now, and there’s way too many kids who are falling through the cracks,” Lempert said.

The degree to which local districts will be able to weather the looming cuts will depend on their financial state prior to the pandemic.

“Every district’s in a different position.

Some have reserves. Some have better fiscal conditions than others,” said Keely Bosler, director of the California Department of Finance.

More than 80 percent of any given district’s budget goes toward salaries and personnel.

“They are very employee-heavy, employee-intensive operations, so there will be a lot of hard [decisions] at school district levels,” Bosler said. “I don’t want to sugarcoat that.”

Some of the state’s school districts, steeling themselves for cuts, have already laid off some employees. Other districts that have struggled for years to balance their budgets will deal with far larger deficits. The Sacramento City Unified School District, for example, estimates a $77 million shortfall in its budget.

“We can reasonably expect over the next year that, like other districts in the same fiscal situation as Sac City, we’ll need to employ other strategies that could include furloughs, pay cuts, loss of jobs and loss of programs,” said superintendent Jorge Aguilar in a plea for federal assistance.

The Clovis Unified School District in California’s Central Valley has never done layoffs in its 60-plus year history, according to Associate Superintendent Michael Johnston. The growing district of 43,600 students began planning for the likelihood of cuts right after schools physically closed March 13, leaving some district office positions unfilled.

Clovis Unified will tap its reserves to mitigate a projected $30 million in cuts, while looking at areas to trim that are “as far away from the classroom and that help us to be able to not lay off employees,” Johnston said. That could mean forgoing routine investments in technology and infrastructure, and leaving more open positions unfilled.

Another conundrum confronting California districts: who to cover the costs to safely reopen schools. By one estimate, schools spent more than $2 billion on feeding students and families, and buying computers in bulk for distance learning. Now they expect to spend more on protective equipment for teachers and students, cleaning supplies, increased bus trips and more computers for students in the event that they’d have to revert to distance learning for portions of the school year.

Beyond the logistics of reopening, many school practitioners have sounded alarms about the growing, pandemic-induced mental health needs and additional academic support for students once schools reopen.

“This budget would be insufficient in ordinary times, and is less than what is required for most schools to reopen safely during a pandemic,” said Xilonin Cruz-Gonzalez, president of the state school boards association.

“If schools don’t reopen, our economy can’t fully reopen.” l CalMatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal and Public Health Officer Teresa Frankovich.

hen Humboldt County took its first baby step toward easing shelter-inplace restrictions on May 8, allowing retail businesses to reopen for curbside pickup and delivery service, there was an air of hope and optimism to the moment. Officials talked wistfully about how walk-in retail could soon follow, with the prospect of sitting down for a meal in a restaurant possibly on the near horizon.

At that point the county had seen just three confirmed COVID-19 cases in the previous 23 days, making the six-day period when the county confirmed 28 new cases in a six-day period in early April seem a distant memory.

Then came the positives: two on May 9, followed by four, three, three, one, four, five, four and five — 31 new cases in a 11-day period. Underscoring the gravity of the situation, the county saw its first COVID-19 death on May 17 — a 97-yearold woman who’d been residing at Alder Bay Assisted Living — followed by its second on May 19, another resident of the facility, which has become the epicenter of an outbreak cluster, with seven residents and five staff members having tested positive for the virus in recent days.

During a report to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors before the Journal went to press May 19, Health Officer Teresa Frankovich conceded this is a “strange” time in the county as it works to loosen restrictions and allow some businesses to re-open even as case count climbs.

“Our numbers are of concern to me,” Frankovich said.

But because COVID-19’s incubation

period is believed to stretch up to 14 days, Frankovich also noted in a media availability May 18 that recent spike in local cases likely doesn’t have anything to do with businesses reopening in limited capacities.

Instead, she said, she believes it’s the result of people “moving about a bit more in the community” and disregarding the shelter-in-place order, which still very much remains in effect. Through contact investigations, Frankovich said public health has determined more people are gathering and making unessential trips out of the area, furthering the spread of the virus.

“It’s very important that people not gather,” she said. “People want to get together. We’ve all been doing this a long time. But when we bring groups of people together who have not been together, it does increase spread.”

Similarly, she stressed the importance of the county’s facial covering ordinance, which is designed to keep asymptomatic carriers of the virus — who make up as much as 40 percent of people infected with COVID-19, according to some studies — from unwittingly spreading germs.

“This is not a temporary measure,” she said of the order. “This is a measure we’re going to be doing for a while because it will help us move forward through stage two and three [of re-opening]. I have no intention of maintaining this longer than necessary but, right now, it is necessary.”

But unrest with shelter in place is real, as evidenced by bare-faced protesters who showed up on the Humboldt County Courthouse lawn last week and restaurants mistakenly opening for patio seating in Ferndale to a Fortuna church holding Sunday services and Bear River Casino an-

nouncing plans to re-open next week with some safety protocols in place. During the supervisors’ meeting, First District Supervisor Rex Bohn even mentioned he’d talked to people who’d driven over to Redding to eat at restaurants that had opened there, which, combining gathering and traveling, would clearly violate the spirit and letter of Frankovich’s shelter-in-place order.

Currently, the county — which received a variance from the state giving it some local control over the pace of re-opening — is allowing retail stores, childcare facilities and some office spaces to submit health and safety plans for county approval detailing how they intend to re-open and operate safely (read more about the process on page 8). Later in stage two, the county could opt to begin allowing restaurants to re-open for modified dinein service. (Gyms, salons, barber shops, movie theaters and bars would follow in stage three.) As of May 18, the county had approved more than 180 business to reopen, according to Sheriff William Honsal, with a few dozen others in the planning process. Frankovich also indicated at the meeting that she plans to modify her shelter-in-place order to allow residents to travel to not just businesses that are deemed “essential,” but also those whose safety plans have been certified and have been allowed to re-open.

Frankovich said the county has no intention at this point of walking back its easing of restrictions or allowances for some businesses to re-open in the face of spiking case numbers and the county’s first deaths. But she did say the the numbers may cause the county to slow the pace at which it allows businesses to resume

operations and she has also repeatedly cautioned that easing restrictions will necessarily mean more illness as people circulate and the virus spreads.

“We’re going to have additional deaths,” she said flatly. “That is the cost of COVID.” This has left many to wonder — as case numbers climb and businesses open their doors — what safety measures are in place and how health officials will know if or when it is time to pump the breaks and potentially reinstate restrictions. In the 27-page document she prepared for the state certifying Humboldt County was ready to move forward through stage two at its own pace, Frankovich laid out the criteria under which the county would have to quickly clamp down with stricter mitigation measures. She splits the criteria into three categories — epidemiology, healthcare and public health — and notes that meeting one or more criteria in at least two of the categories would prompt action.

Epidemiology

This section concerns the spread of disease in the community and lays out six potential triggers or benchmarks officials can use to determine if things are starting to get out of control. The first two are pretty straightforward: If the county sees an increase of new cases of at least 10 percent for three consecutive days or a doubling of cases in a five-day period absent substantial increases in testing, that would be cause for concern. And while case numbers have certainly been increasing over the past 11 days, they have not increased at this pace.

Then, if the county were to see more

than three unlinked chains of transmission — or three unlinked virus clusters — in a 14-day period, that would be a trigger because it would mean the virus has gained footholds in different, unlinked sections of the community where it was spreading simultaneously. During a recent media availability, Frankovich said this might currently be the case, as she believes the county may have seen three or more unlinked chains circulating over the past two weeks. In addition to the cluster among Alder Bay staff and residents — believed to be the result of a staff member contracting the virus through local community transmission and bringing it into the facility — there’s at least one other believed to be travel related. Public Health has not publicly discussed any others.

“I would say we have at least three right now,” Frankovich said. “It’s possible we have a fourth.”

Another trigger would be a high likelihood of exposure at a mass gathering or the delayed detection of a case from a mass gathering. This trigger is potentially very important locally with Bear River Casino having announced its plans to re-open May 24. While the casino has implemented a variety of safety protocols, Frankovich has voiced strong objection to the re-opening, saying there’s no getting around the fact it would constitute a mass gathering of people together in a confined space for a prolonged period of time.

“I’m very concerned about introducing mass gatherings,” Frankovich said, explaining that while the goal of sheltering in place is to limit the ability of one person to spread the virus widely, mass gatherContinued on page 15 »

ings make that possible on a huge scale, meaning a single person could potentially expose hundreds of others to the virus, bringing the risk of exponential spread.

“It’s not safe right now.”

Other triggers include a “steady increase” in reports of influenza-like illness circulating in the community for 10 consecutive days or an increasing number of healthcare workers confirmed to have the virus for five consecutive days.

Healthcare

If things are starting to look a bit unsettling with the spread of COVID-19 locally, officials indicate the current state of healthcare infrastructure should provide some reassurance. In short, it is far from being overwhelmed.

Triggers in this category include an inability of local intensive care units to see a doubling of patients from current numbers, providers no longer having the capacity to screen large numbers of symptomatic patients or a lack of capacity to provide baseline healthcare services in addition to COVID-19 care. Similarly, seeing more COVID-19 hospital admissions than discharges over three consecutive days would be a potential trigger, as would healthcare facilities being too overrun to prevent spread throughout their facilities or not having sufficient personal protective equipment for staff and patients.

As the Journal went to press, the county had seen just 11 COVID-19 patients hospitalized at any point in their care.

Public Health has so far declined to offer any additional information regarding the status or condition of their hospitalizations, meaning we don’t know if those people were admitted and discharged in the same day or underwent long-term intensive care. But for context, having built additional surge capacity, local hospitals have the ability to treat about 65 people in intensive care, according to health officials.

Public Health

This category essentially surrounds the public health department’s ability to sufficiently track and monitor spread of the virus, as well as isolate patients who can’t do so on their own.

Triggers here include the inability to find contacts for 20 percent or more of confirmed cases or seeing 10 percent or more of symptomatic contacts fail to get promptly tested — either of which would hamper investigators’ ability to quickly find people who may be infected and get them tested and isolated, slowing spread of the virus. Similarly, if the county ran out of hand sanitizer or didn’t have someplace available for non-hospitalized COVID-19

patients who are homeless or can’t safely isolate at home to stay, that would be a trigger.

The last trigger is a bit more nebulous but in some ways may be one of the most important: if officials “no longer have the ability to convey physical distancing recommendations which change behavior in residents.” That essentially means if health officials feel residents aren’t following recommendations and orders — for example to wear facial coverings, keep their businesses closed or avoid mass gatherings — they may feel forced to shut everything down.

While saying she doesn’t yet see the need to pull back substantially, Frankovich expressed concern about the current state of COVID-19 in Humboldt County at the May 19 board meeting, particularly regarding residents’ willingness to stay the course. Answering two different lines of questioning, Frankovich spoke about the need for residents to refrain from unnecessary travel and quarantine upon return if they do leave the area, to avoid mass gatherings, stick to their household units and to mask up when in public, then talked about the incredible challenge of protecting senior living facilities from the virus.

“It’s the thing that keeps us all awake at night,” she said, explaining that while all local skilled nursing and assisted living facilities have extensive safety protocols in place, testing technology simply hasn’t progressed to the point where they can rapidly test each staff member at the beginning of each shift.

But as Alder Bay has seen, once the virus enters a congregate living facility where all the residents fit into one of two major risk categories — being 65 or older or having underlying health issues — the impacts can be devastating. Part of protecting those living in these facilities comes down to limiting the spread of virus in the community, which decreases the chances of staff members becoming infected and unwittingly bringing the virus into the facility.

As the county navigates the re-opening path ahead, Frankovich made clear that — to every extent possible — senior citizens and those in the community with underlying medical conditions should not be part of it and should instead continue sheltering in place.

“Stay home and protected,” she said. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

will be the only face-to-face interaction of the day.

“I started preparing for this in mid February,” says Silver over the phone. She says she was an early adopter of masks and ramped-up sanitizing for her staff and stocked up on supplies, including storable food, in anticipation of supply chain issues.

“I figured I‘ve got a drive-through so I’ll probably be the last guy they shut down.” And in fact, Humboldt Soup Co., which Silver owns along with Sixth & E and Delish on 5th, was easier to adapt to shelter in place than a lot of restaurants, but business is still way down. “I think a lot of people are making soup at home,” she says e with a grim chuckle. Still, seeing sit-down restaurants everywhere — including her own Sixth & E — struggle with the logistics and even slimmer margins of takeout and delivery, she felt lucky to have a drive through window.

“Corny as it sounds,” she says, “that was a blessing. So I feel like I should give back.”

With everything she’d been hearing and reading about how seniors are at increased risk for COVID-19, the nearby facility seemed like the place to lend her hands and ease her own worry about the world. “I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God, I need to get them healthy food.’ Like, if only I can get them healthy food, they won’t die. That’s how my mind works.” While the CDC has yet to name soup as a preventative or cure, the part about easing her mind is working. Sending wholesome food to people she doesn’t even see is, for Silver, “kind of a way to let them know that somebody cares. … This is my feel good thing to be able to feed those folks.” It that sense, she says it’s actually selfish.

Scott says residents get outside food and have kitchens in their apartments, but, “Christine wanted to give them healthy, vitamin-packed food.” Perhaps just as importantly, the soup is “a reason to check in on people,” says Scott, and residents look forward to soup days “just to have someone to talk to.”

Initially, Silver had planned to deliver soup for two or three weeks, but three months later, California is still under shelter in place and she’s still delivering. At one point she’d told Scott she couldn’t keep it up. “Financially it is a strain on my

business,” says Silver. The 50-liter pots of soup can run $120 to $150 in ingredients and take between five and seven hours to cook. It’s a stretch for most food businesses in good times, much less when restaurant sales are down to half or less.

Silver was running Sixth & E and Humboldt Soup Co. with about 60 percent of her staff staying on, and trying to work out how to open Delish on 5th — half of which is a kitchen store — on a now barren corner in Old Town. Early on, considering she says the setup left staff and customers too exposed. “I just didn’t feel comfortable.”

Scott didn’t want residents to lose the soup delivery and offered to pay for ingredients so they could keep going. Silver still donates her labor and time but the cost of materials makes it workable. Now and then, Scott brings her donated ingredients, too, like the bean sprouts Silver turned into an Asian-inspired soup. That one went over well with the residents — the tomatillo soup, not so much.

Scott laughs over the phone. “Other than that they’ve loved it.”

Silver received a Payroll Protection Program loan, without which she says there’s “no way” she could operate. Her three landlords are “all working with me on some level,” and she and her crew reorganized and reopened Delish on 5th for four hours a day. Her time is even more stretched but she’s able to run her three spots — in their COVID-19 adjusted capacities — feed the seniors at Silvercrest and still sleep six or seven hours a night.

For now, the magical thinking of keeping 154 seniors healthy and safe with soup feels possible. Likewise keeping her three businesses running and her employees working. But even Silver’s optimism is tempered by practicality as she looks ahead to the end of the eightweek PPP cashflow. “Once that money runs out,” she says, “then it’s gonna be a new ballgame.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal and prefers she/her.

Arkansas

Southern Noir

The shallow graves of Arkansas

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com ARKANSAS. Clark Duke first registered on my radar in 2010, when KickAss and Hot Tub Time Machine were released (both classics, incidentally). With his self-aware charm, wry delivery and beyond-adroit comic timing, he stood out in every scene. While he’s worked consistently in the decade since, he’s never had the breakout role I think he deserves. When I heard about Arkansas, which he co-wrote, directed and stars in, I tried to temper my enthusiasm.

“Vanity” projects often carry the taint of sanctimony and self-reverence, but when they are motivated by passion, curiosity and dedication to craft, they have the potential for transcendence. (Bradley Cooper’s A Star is Born turned out far better than I thought it might, after all.)

And Duke’s humility, his apparent connection to the material (he’s an Arkansas

boy himself) and his ability to bring together a formidable cast go a long way toward dispelling the notion that someone primarily known as a comic character actor has no business making a movie.

That said, the potential shown here doesn’t really justify the end result; would that it were better.

With Andrew Boonkrong, Duke adapted this screenplay from John Brandon’s first novel, which I have not read. I have, however, read his follow-up Citrus County and thought it suffered from surreptitious overworking, resulting in an illusory and self-conscious sort of looseness. And, as is often my chorus, I found it approached dark themes with an earnestness that belied hesitation.

for me. I can’t speak to how much of the manuscript Duke and Boonkrong left on the page, but the narrative as it made it to the screen bears a number of the same witness marks.

Kyle (Liam Hemsworth), a rather simple-minded, heavy-fisted sort of a functionary in a pretty scruffy-looking cocaine operation, earns himself a promotion when he half-accidentally captures and detains a person of interest for his boss.

Moved up to wholesale, Kyle is partnered with Swin (Duke), a half-smooth bullshitter with a distinctive sartorial style.

They are assigned, by unseen boss Frog, to move a truckful of product across state lines. Their immediate ineptitude prompts the intervention of Bright (John Malkovich) on Frog’s behalf. A park ranger, Bright brokered a partnership with the kingpin years before, using his park as a cover for distribution. He installs the boys as laborers, providing room and board and a convenient veil for their nocturnal movements.

Things go off the rails when Kyle and Swin offend the grandson of one of their wholesale customers, and lethal violence ensues. With no way to contact anyone within the organization by which they are ostensibly employed, they bury the bodies and decide to wait and see what happens. Inaction and ready access to cash prove too much for the pair, though, and soon Frog visits them with reprisals.

There’s a whole Frog origin-story flashback shoehorned into the middle but it doesn’t contribute to the plot in a significant way, except that it’s a semi-surprise reveal of the character’s identity.

The ambition here, to make a contribution to the canon of country noir (or whatever one would call it), is to me a noble one. The dimensionality of extra-urban America in contemporary storytelling remains pretty limited, and as a native thereof I can appreciate the urge

to tell stories that might expand and subvert popular perception. I applaud Duke for seeking out a story that feels authentic-ish and also an appropriate fit for his dark, droll sensibilities. And he has managed to bring together a formidable ensemble, all of whom seem to enjoy the process of making the movie.

The problems, then, are technical ones, both in the construction of the narrative and in its final assembly. Where I see Brandon’s fiction as overworked in service of simplicity, I think Duke’s version would benefit from closer study and more time in the editing room.

While he and Hemsworth do good work establishing the identities of their characters, for example, the performances seem to indicate a dearth of material to draw on. I don’t mean to suggest we, the audience, need to know their back-stories, but it feels like the actors (or the characters themselves) don’t know them either. For as much time as the movie spends establishing atmosphere and tone, essentially hanging out with the characters, it doesn’t actually expand our knowledge or understanding of them.

And perhaps most problematically for a story about murder, Arkansas doesn’t understand how to visually depict physical acts of violence. There are occasions when showing by not showing can work (Kyle’s revenge on the buyer who crossed him is a good example) but for the most part the scenes become a visual representation of indecision.

The result, while still to be applauded if only for existing, is a noir that, for leaning into atmosphere but shying away from the crucial examination of the violence at its heart, is too tentative to succeed.

Check out the Downton Abbey Marathon all weekend on KEET PBS Ch. 13.1, starting Friday, May 22 at 8 p.m. all the way up to the finale on Monday at 9 p.m.

Homework: Is there anything about your experience of the global pandemic that you enjoy? RealAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Excellence does not require perfection,” wrote Aries author Henry James. Now I’m conveying this brilliant counsel to you—just in time for the season when it will make good sense to strive for shining excellence without getting bogged down in a debilitating quest for perfection. Have fun re-committing yourself to doing the best you can, Aries, even as you refuse to be tempted by the unprofitable lure of absolute purity and juvenile forms of idealism.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): To generate an ounce of pure cocaine, you must collect 52 pounds of raw coca leaf and work hard to transform it. But please don’t do that. Fate won’t be on your side if you do. However, I will suggest that you consider undertaking a metaphorically comparable process—by gathering a sizable amount of raw material or basic stuff that will be necessary to produce the small treasure or precious resource that you require.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. “And the most you can do is live inside that hope.

Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, that is exactly the work you should be doing right now, Gemini. Everything good that can and should happen for you in the coming months depends on you defining what you hope for, and then doing whatever’s necessary to live inside that hope.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The periodic arrivals of “natural disruption” in our everyday routines has a divine purpose, writes Yoruba priest Awó Falokun Fatunmbi. It is “to shake consciousness loose from complacency and rigid thinking.” To be vital, he says, our perception of truth must be constantly evolving, and never stagnant. “Truth is a way of looking at self and World,” Fatunmbi declares. “It is a state of being rather than an act of knowing.” Many Westerners find this hard to understand because they regard truth as a “fixed set of rules or dogma,” or as a body of “objective facts.” But here’s the good news: Right now, you Cancerians are especially receptive to Fatunmbi’s alternative understanding of truth—and likely to thrive by adopting it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Novelist and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn departed this life in 1998, but she articulated a message that’s important for you to hear right now. She wrote, “People often say, with pride, ‘I’m not interested in politics.’ They might as well say, ‘I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.’”

Gelhorn added, “If we mean to keep control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.” In my opinion, her advice is always applicable to all of us, but it’s especially crucial for you to meditate on right now. You’ll be wise to upgrade your interest and involvement in the big cultural and political developments that are impacting your personal destiny.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to author and teacher Marianne Williamson, “Ego says, ‘Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace.’ Spirit says, ‘Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.’” I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to take Williamson’s advice seriously, Virgo. How? By giving control of your life to Spirit as you find your peace. In saying this, I’m not implying that Ego is bad or wrong. In fact, I think Ego is a crucial asset for you, and I’m hoping that in recent months you have been lifting your Ego to a higher, finer state of confidence and competence than ever before. But right now I think you should authorize Spirit to run the show for a while. If you do, it will bless you with good surprises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.”

Playwright Tennessee Williams said that, and now I’m conveying

his insight to you—just in time for you to dramatically embody it. According to my astrological analysis, you now have more power than usual to accomplish this magic trick: to create something permanent in the midst of the transitory; to make an indelible mark on a process that has previously been characterized by restless permutations; to initiate a bold move that you will forever remember and be remembered for.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the course of his 73 years on the planet, Scorpio author Paul Valéry (1871–1945) wrote more than 20 books. But between the ages of 25 and 45, he passed through a phase he called the “great silence.” During that time, he quit writing and published nothing. Afterwards, he returned to his life’s work and was nominated 12 times for a Nobel Prize.

Although your own version of a great silence is less extreme than his, I’m happy to announce that you will emerge from it sooner than you imagine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m sad that my two favorite 19th-century poets were unfamiliar with each other’s poetry.

Walt Whitman was 11 years older than Emily Dickinson, but didn’t know her work. Dickinson had heard of Whitman, but didn’t read his stuff. Their styles were indeed very different: hers intimate, elliptical, psychologically acute; his expansive, gregarious, earthy.

But they were alike in being the most innovative American poets of their time, and equally transgressive in their disregard for standard poetic forms. If there were such a thing as time travel, I’d send one of you Sagittarians back to set up a meeting between them. Acts of innovative blending and creative unifying will be your specialties in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional character Sherlock Holmes (born January 6, and thus a Capricorn) is a brilliant logician and acute observer who has astonishing crime-solving skills.

On the other hand, according to his friend Dr. Watson, he “knows next to nothing” about “contemporary literature, philosophy, and politics.” So he’s not a well-rounded person. He’s smart in some ways, dumb in others. Most of us fit that description. We are both brilliant and ignorant; talented and inept; interesting and boring. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to hone and cultivate the less mature aspects of your own nature. I bet you’ll reap rich rewards by doing so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “People become like what they love,” observed theologian St. Catherine of Siena. That’ll be an interesting truth for you to meditate on in the coming weeks.

I suspect you will attract experiences that are clear reflections of the kind of love you have cultivated and expressed for quite some time. You’ll be blessed in ways similar to the ways you have blessed. You’ll be challenged to face questions about love that you have not been dealing with. And here’s a promise for the future: You’ll have the opportunity to refine and deepen your approach to love so as to transform yourself into more of the person you’d like to become.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Humanity is a mystery,” wrote author Fyodor Dostoevsky. “The mystery needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, you haven’t wasted your time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a complete human being.” I love this tender perspective on the preciousness of the Great Riddle we’re all immersed in. It’s especially useful and apropos for you to adopt right now, Pisces, because you are undergoing an unusually deep and intense communion with the mystery. As you marinate, you shouldn’t measure your success and good fortune by how much new understanding you have attained, but rather by how much reverence and gratitude you feel and how stirring your questions are. l

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX DELINQUENCY AND IMPENDING DEFAULT Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3351, 3352 I, John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows: That at close of business on June 30, 2020 by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 201920, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2019-20 shall be declared tax-defaulted.

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

That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2020, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2020 That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request,

by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707)476-2450.

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

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector

Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 15th, 2020. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 21st, May 28th and June 4th, , 2020

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell.

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

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

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

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

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2020, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

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

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

The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2020, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

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