HUMBOLDT – Humboldt County’s effort to implement its General Plan is now mired in lawsuit threats and supervisors have backed off of decision-making to allow for legal review.

At its July 9 meeting, the Board of Supervisors took another try at approving new zoning standards for agricultural and timberland parcels but failed to move any markers after hours of discussion.

Supervisors were also unable to reach a decision when they last reviewed the General Plan zoning changes, on June 18. Supervisors Mike Wilson and Steve Steve Madrone had Madrone concerns about residential development allowances on the resource lands and asked that planning staff devise new, more protective – and, for residential construction, more limiting – alternatives.

On agricultural parcels, two non-ag-related residences are allowed within a limited “building envelope” and the new alternatives define their location, setbacks, and other requirements.

Telegraphing what was about to be said during public comment, Planning Director John Ford told supervisors that the proposed zoning changes are “going to raise all kinds of red flags for folks.”

But he added that they define what is and isn’t allowed within the building envelopes.

The heavy baggage of General Plan conflict, almost 20 years in the making, shaped the discussion at the dais and at the public comment podium.

Eureka Attorney Alison Jackson recalled the upwelling of controversy over the county’s moratorium on timberland residential permitting over a decade GENERAL PLAN

ARCATA – After two years of relative stability and unprecedented productivity, the resignation of Arcata Main Street’s (AMS) dynamic director has returned the downtown business organization to its nominal state of being “in transition.”

Executive Director Jeanette Todd announced her resignation last Tuesday morning at the monthly, casual gathering of downtown businesspeople.

That’s one of the new functions Todd created and managed, along with an array of Plaza activities. Todd’s last day is this Friday.

As various city committees attempt the heavy lift of civilizing the Plaza once and for all, conventional wisdom has held that mainstreaming it with wholesome, family-oriented activities is key to harshing away misbehavers. So effective was Todd in forging special events such as the recent Fairy festi-

Wilson named to Coastal Commission Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson, 51, of Arcata, has been appointed to the California Coastal Commission, according to an announcement by Governor Gavin Newsom.

Wilson was owner and project engineer for HWR Engineering and Science from 1994 to 2017. He was an ecological engineer for Stillwater SciencMike Wilson es from 2014 to 2016.

Wilson was an environmental engineer for the Humboldt County Division of Environmental Health from 1995 to 1996 and a staff environmental engineer for Tetra

val, and in elevating already established ones like the Oyster Festival, that the City Council more than Jeanette Todd doubled its annual stipend to AMS. That money was initially taken from the $150,000 budgeted to carry out recommendations of the Plaza Improvement Task Force, and was later replaced.

During recent budget hearings and in response to an appeal by AMS President Vicky Joyce, the City Council noted that Todd was “knocking it out of the park,” as Councilmember Susan Ornelas put it, and agreed to add $20,000 to the organization’s city funding, for a total of roughly $35,000.

Now though, it’s unclear how much of what Todd had wrought will survive her absence. A Moon Landing Celebration commemorating the Apollo 11 mission scheduled for this Saturday has been called off, in part due to the lack of a projection screen for use on the Plaza.

“It just felt like it wasn’t going to work,” Joyce said, calling it “an event in need of a center.”

However, Joyce said this weekend’s Sunday Fun Day will take place from noon to 3 p.m., and include live music and a bounce house. She said the monthly business meetings will continue as well. “That’s why I first got involved in Main Street, for the communication,” she said.

As for the rest of the year’s programming, Joyce said, “That’s what we’re going to try to figure out Monday” at a spcial meeting of the AMS board,.

While some of the newer events might fall away, it’s unlikely

Tech from 1994 to 1995 and for Woodward Clyde Consultants from 1990 to 1992.

Wilson earned a Master of Science degree in environmental systems engineering from Humboldt State University. He was also a college associate of rock guitar shredding legend Buckethead.

Wilson feels well-suited to the position and looks forward to representing Humboldt’s interests there.

“My academic experience, job and public service experience revolve around many of the same coastal resource and access issues,” he said. “It offers the perspective that Northern California and specifically, Humboldt has to the commission.”

Still, he said, “the over arching job is to preserve and protect Coastal resources for all Californians.”

General Plan | Legal threats, indecision over policies FROM A1

ago, which gave rise to the influential Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights advocacy group.

She said that the zoning changes presented to supervisors require public noticing and are wrongly-defined as implementation measures. Saying that they should be considered under a different process, Jackson told supervisors that if they act on them, “You are asking for a big problem and a legal problem.”

Debbie Provolt, who co-chaired both the board of the Coalition for Property Rights and the Humboldt Association of Realtors’ General Plan Subcommittee, recommended that supervisors heed Jackson’s warnings.

“You have been given the gift of some extremely expert free legal advice and I would strongly suggest that you take that legal advice and read her hand-outs before you do anything today,” she said.

She added that if the alternatives are approved, supervisors would essentially be making General Plan amendments under an implementation process and “there will be lawsuits.”

But Thomas Wheeler, the executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center, said the proposed alternatives reflect the compromise that the General Plan strives for.

“The arm-waving and hyperbole that has been expressed by property rights advocates today is a bit extreme,” he continued. “We’re talking about not allowing people to build houses just wherever, but to confine them into one residential building envelope – that’s a reasonable thing to do protect timberland agricultural-exclusive land.”

He added, “The threats and the bullying are unnecessary – these are reasonable compromises.”

Faced with split public comment and potential legal

it Get r u in yo x! bo mail

peril, supervisors struggled to make progress. Divisions within the board itself were evident, as Board Chair Rex Bohn corrected Wheeler and said he didn’t think anyone had been threatening.

Madrone disagreed, saying that the mention of lawsuits had changed the direction of the conversation.

Indeed, after a break to allow staff discussion, legal counsel told supervisors that advice needs to be given in closed session.

Supervisor Estelle Fennell, who was executive director of the Coalition for Property Rights before being elected, said the alternatives are “clearly not defensible.”

In supporting them, Madrone had said that “during my 46 years here, I’ve often heard about the need to protect agricultural and timberlands, because that’s two of our primary industries here in Humboldt.”

Later, Bohn referenced Madrone’s comment and said, “I’ve lived here for 62 years and it’s always been ‘property rights.’”

He added that landowners “don’t rule the roost but they’ve got the investment and they pay the taxes.”

With division flaring and new liability risks afoot, Ford recommended continuing the hearing to August 20 but Wilson pressed for making at least some approvals.

Supervisor Virginia Bass was reluctant to continue the discussion, saying “I just don’t want to see us spinning our wheels and not getting anywhere.”

But after a series of breaks were called to allow staff to huddle, supervisors made multiple motions. One that included two of the alternatives failed and others were rescinded, amended and rescinded again.

They finally decided to do what Ford recommended they do an hour-and-a-half earlier – punt it, and continue the hearing to August 20.

And with the unanimous vote on that, Bohn told the remaining audience, “That’s four-and-a-half hours of your life you won’t get back.”

Health Dept. warning of Pertussis outbreak

County seeks to ‘change paradigm’ for housing Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union

she said. “I am in favor of that but there are a lot of unknowns.”

A statutory obstacle is one of them.

Approved by voters in 1950, Article 34 of the state’s constitution requires that low income housing projects funded by local governments go before voters for approval.

Among the plan’s implementation measures is to lobby for repeal of Article 34 on a statewide level. If that doesn’t succeed, a local ballot initiative to allow the county to “develop, construct or acquire low cost housing” is advised.

Senior Planner Michelle Nielsen said there’s “pending legislation” to bring a repeal before state voters.

Commission Chair Bob Morris noted that two of the plan’s main goals – increasing affordable housing and housing for people at risk of being homeless – are “contingent” on the repeal. “My concern is that we have policies and standards here that are not going to be relevant if Article 34 isn’t repealed,” he said.

Deputy County Counsel Joel Ellinwood told commissioners that the local initiative requirement “is not an absolute prohibition but it creates a high bar for the actual production of housing.”

Another high bar was discussed

by Commissioner Alan Bongio, who is a developer himself. Use of public funds for projects – including projects funded with federal and state grants – triggers prevailing wage pay for workers.

“That, sometimes, is three times what the going standard rate is,” he said. “So if your cost for labor is two to three times more, how do you get affordable housing? Let’s just be honest, we’ve got to figure out how to break the cycle.”

He highlighted another potential limitation – the Humboldt Bay area

HUMBOLDT – Public Health officials were notified last Wednesday that a Eureka teen has tested positive for pertussis, also known as whooping cough, which is a highly contagious respiratory disease.

In a follow-up investigation, communicable disease staff identified 40 possible contacts during the patient’s contagious period. All are now being notified.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pertussis is a cyclical bacterial infection that peaks every three to five years. Immunity, whether from getting the vaccine or from having the disease, typically wears off within five years, leaving previously immune children susceptible again by adolescence.

“Even if the CDC vaccination schedule is closely followed it still sometimes falls short for pertussis in particular, due in part to waning immunity,” said Public Health Supervising Communicable Disease Nurse Hava Phillips.

During a 2014 outbreak in Humboldt County, there were over 190 confirmed cases of pertussis. Statewide in 2014, more than 11,000 Californians tested positive.

More than 9,000 cases were reported in 2010, with 808 hospitalizations and 10 infant deaths. In 2017 and 2018, no cases were reported in Humboldt County.

The CDC, notes that pertussis can cause serious health effects for people of all ages, but infants are at higher risk.

“About half of infants diagnosed with pertussis will be hospitalized, so it’s critically important that pregnant women are vaccinated during their third trimester to provide newborns with maternal antibodies,” said Phillips.

CDPH strongly recommends a booster shot for anyone over 11 years old who has not yet received one.

The CDC states that illness typically begins with coldlike symptoms and sometimes a mild cough or fever before progressing to severe coughing fits. In babies, the cough can be minimal or nonexistent. Babies may have a symptom known as “apnea,” which is a pause in the child’s breathing pattern.

Countywide, just over 91 percent of kindergartners have received all required doses of the vaccine. More than 93 percent of 7th graders have received a booster.

For additional information about pertussis, visit the CDPH website, talk to your medical provider or phone the Public Health Branch Communicable Disease Program at (707) 268-2182. To make an appointment for a vaccine, contact your healthcare provider or call the Public Health Clinic at (707) 268-2108.

HUMBOLDT – Humboldt’s Planning Commission has signed off on a draft housing plan whose new approaches on addressing a crisis-level affordable housing shortage include a political shift toward projects funded and owned by the county.

“One of the conclusions that this Housing Element reaches is that we cannot build affordable housing right now, under the status quo,” Planning Director John Ford told the commission at a July 11 hearing. “Changes have to be made and what this is trying to do is to change the paradigm of the private-government partnership in terms of how we construct housing in Humboldt County to meet the needs.”

Ford referred to a chart shown earlier on the county’s lack of housing progress in the period from 2014 to 2018. Low and very low income housing need was calculated at 212 units for the combined category but building permits were issued for only 33 units.

Only 44 low income units were permitted while the need was set at 135 units.

The only housing category that performed well was moderate income, which gained 226 permits, 80 units more than its need.

Known as the Housing Element, the eight-year plan is a state-mandated element of the General Plan that describes how the county will meet housing demand. And the change of paradigm mentioned by Ford includes pursuit of county-funded construction projects.

Early in the hearing, the viability of that approach was questioned by Commissioner Melanie McCavour.

“Say we do become a county that is able to, for example, run housing,”

KHSU 90.5 FM was hacked

Area woman seeks dessert

dept. of HealtH & HUMan SeRviceS

HUMboldt State UniveRSity

HUMBOLDT STATE – Radio station KHSU’s recent computer problems are the result of a ransomware attack.

The incident disabled most of the station’s programming systems and all storage servers, which didn’t house sensitive information. As a result, regular programming continues to be interrupted.

Ransomware is a form of extortion that blocks access to files and threatens to reveal data unless a ransom is paid. Humboldt State has not received a specific payment demand and isn’t aware of who may be responsible for the attack.

Because KHSU is a federally licensed facility, the incident was reported to

federal law enforcement and the Federal Communications Commission.

KHSU programming has been interrupted since the station began experiencing computer problems on July 1.

The attack exploited a vulnerability in KHSU’s system. The university is grateful to its partners who are assisting the station.

Capital Public Radio at CSU Sacramento is helping to restore KSHU programming and North State Public Radio at CSU Chico is airing its programming on KHSU. The university hopes to have this resolved as soon as possible as it rebuilds programming and improves the security of KHSU.

Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – An area woman is hoping someone will bring her dessert.

Carla, a Eureka resident, took out a classified ad to that effect in the current edition of the Mad River Union.

In the ad, she requests a home-cooked after-dinner treat.

Reads the ad, “Do you like to bake? Very nice sickly lady would like free dessert.”

According to Wikipedia, the Internet’s online encyclopedia, dessert is the final course to a meal. In western cultures, it usually consists of sweet items such as cake, pie, pastries, ice cream, pudding or various beverages.

In an exclusive inter-

view, Carla explained her request. “I don’t know how to bake, and my husband doesn’t either,” she told the Union.

She said she is recovering from an illness, and will be all right, especially if some dessert is involved in the recovery.

The confection gap might be filled, Carla suggested, by cupcakes, banana nut bread, or even just some nice cookies.

She isn’t particular as to what kind of cookies – sugar, peanut butter or oatmeal cookies would be fine, she said.

“I thought it would be nice if someone brought me dessert,” she concluded.

More details on Carla’s dessert quest on page B2.

is vulnerable to sea level rise and the county’s options for dealing with it include restricting housing construction. “I can tell you from being in the development industry, the easy projects are gone – the easy land is gone and what’s left out there is too expensive to develop,” said Bongio.

Recognizing the county’s housing shortage, the plan’s new methods of sheltering include allowances for safe parking, tiny home villages and “special occupancy parks.”

Those measures were supported during public comment and some people suggested emphasizing them as responses to an emergency.

“As I’ve heard other speakers say, I want, somehow in our Housing Element, the statement that declares the urgency that we have,” said Nezzie Wade, a boardmember of Affordable Homeless Housing Alternatives, the Redwood Community Action Agency and a county housing trust fund committee. “I know we can’t create housing and we won’t have affordable housing – and there’s no one size that fits all.”

Repeal of Article 34 is “really important,” she added.

The planning is driven by a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that projects demand for various housing categories and allots shares. The RHNA for the 2019 to 2027 Housing Element totals 1,416 units in the county unincorporated area.

Of the total, 351 units are in the very low income category and 223 are in the low income category.

The commission voted to recommend approval of the draft plan, with Bongio dissenting.

The Housing Element needs to be approved by the Board of Supervisors

by August 27 and submitted to the state by Aug. 31.

that annual fixtures such as Trick or Treating on the Plaza and the Season of Wonder and Light would be called off.

Joyce said that none of the extra $20,000 the city allocated to AMS has actually been turned over to the group. Rather, AMS was to bill the city for expenses following downtown events. Also, some of that sum was going to come from in-kind donations such as fee waivers.

Said Todd, “I have accepted a position as the Resource Development Director for CASA of Humboldt, July 19th will be my last day with Arcata Main Street. It has been a joy working with the downtown business community and the City of Arcata to bring activities, programming and vital-

ity to our petite nonprofit member service area, in such a small community I am sure our paths will cross again.

Crabs get off work early against Ukiah Richard LaPreziosa Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – It wasn’t the way he wanted it, but Crabs manager Robin Guiver will take the wins this weekend against the Ukiah Cardinals. I mean Ukiah Hawks.

Well, the jerseys they wore said Cardinals but they were called the Hawks.

In any case, the team from Ukiah proved to be easy work for the mighty Crabs, who, with their 2113 record, evoked the mercy rule in all three games of the weekend series.

The mercy rule, to the surprise and dismay of a Canadian electrician crew enjoying Sunday’s game

while taking a break from contract work for PG&E, and just returning to their seats after getting some beers, says that after six innings if there’s a lead of 10 runs or more the game is finished.

This was the case Friday night, the game being called after six with the Crabs up 20-0. Again on Saturday night with a score of 14-0.

Sunday the Hawks actually got two runs but still fell 13-0.

Add it all up and that’s a 47-2 run total for the weekend.

“It’s not what we want to play. It’s not ideal but we can only worry about our

HSU GETS GRANT Humboldt State University has received a $100,000 grant from the Hearst Foundations that will support HSU’s campus-wide effort to combat financial challenges faced by students. The funding will support several programs that help meet HSU students’ basic needs. These programs focus on health care access, emergency housing and other adversity support, scholarships for low-income and underserved students, and expansion of affordability programs, such as laptops on loan. Frank Whitlatch, HSU’s interim vice president for university advancement, thanked the Hearst Foundations for supporting students.

“This grant will help HSU break down barriers that some of our students face,” he said. “This support brings HSU one step closer to a future where no student drops out of college due to financial reasons.” As one of the 23 campuses within the California State University system, HSU’s focus on supporting students’ basic needs is one of the pillars of the CSU system’s 2025 Graduation Initiative. The 2025 Graduation Initiative aims to increase graduation rates while eliminating opportunity and achievement gaps for all CSU students.

sgt. Justus’s Journey home Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – Sgt. Elden C. Justus is home at last.

Lost in the Korean War on Dec. 6, 1950, he was considered Missing In Action until his remains were discovered in a communal grave in North Korea in April, 2004.

Following recovery and identification, Sgt. Justus was returned to the custody of his children, Lois Justus Hyman and Jack Justus on Monday, July 8.

After lying in honor at Paul’s Chapel through Wednesday, a memorial service was held at the Eureka Elks Lodge, with active duty military members, veterans, members of the public and numerous dignitaries present.

Lois Justus read from a letter her father had sent home from Japan while en route to Korea.

“When I’m finished here, we will come home and we will have a lot of fun,” he wrote. She quoted poet John Greenleaf Whittier, who said, “For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, ‘It might have been’.”

Following the service, Sgt. Justus was transported to Arcata’s Greenwood Cemetery, where he was buried with full military honors.

Hate flyer’s author interviewed EurEka PolicE

EUREKA – With the assistance of family, the Eureka Police Department has identified the individual responsible for the hate-based propaganda fliers recently found in our community.

This person is a multiracial, 16-year-old male who relocated to Humboldt County recently. Due to his age, EPD cannot publicly release the youth’s identity. No arrests have been made or criminal charges filed at this time. However, this is an open investigation and this status may change. EPD regularly works with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners and has been in contact with the FBI during this investigation.

The youth was interviewed by EPD detectives and a special agent with the FBI’s local office. A second interview was later conducted with an 18-year-old friend of the teen who was visiting from out of state.

The youth admitted to placing the propaganda flier in Henderson Center and to his personal involvement with the group (via the internet and social media) which he described as originally being more “anti-establishment” in nature. (He also claimed to not agree with all of the group’s current ideology including those advocating violence.)

Based on information obtained during the interviews, investigators currently believe the youth likely acted alone (which he maintained) and is not part of a larger like-minded, connected hate group currently residing and operating inside Humboldt County.

There is no indication this individual or group poses a major or growing threat (of violent action) in this area at this time.

However, situational awareness and reporting of suspicious activity is always advised and encouraged. The effort to recruit youth

to their cause remains deeply concerning.

EPD and our law enforcement partners will continue to monitor the group and to follow-up with the youth and his family.

EPD encourages parents to take this opportunity to speak with their children about hate and bias. Parents should also closely monitor where and with whom their children are spending their time, not only in person, but also virtually online.

Because this individual is a minor, EPD is working with the family to refer him to appropriate community services and anti-bias intervention resources.

White supremacists, hate crime, or anyone targeting others because of race, color, religion or national origin will not be tolerated by law enforcement in our community. Actions that constitute a crime generally include: • Use of force or the threat of force or conspiracy to use or threaten force • Targeting of the victim because of race, color, religion or national origin • Additional motive to injure, intimidate or interfere with some specific federally protected activity or right It is law enforcement’s duty to ensure the safety of our communities and nation while upholding the civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution (including the exercise of the First Amendment) to every citizen.

We remain committed to protecting those rights for all Americans while also taking a stand against racism and hate.

Generally, individuals who commit criminal activity in furtherance of their extremist ideology are prosecuted, rather than groups. Membership in an organization that promotes extremist ideology or racism alone (though deeply disturbing) is not illegal nor is it a sufficient basis for prosecution

Temporarily earth-toned carbon-based unit mounts planetary assault • Saturday, July 6 9:33 a.m.

After injecting breakfast, an urban backpacker lolled on some 11th Street steps with the needle still hanging from his arm. He was moved along.

3:06 p.m. A woman dragged a couch into the middle of an H Street alley and, clad in a towel, had a troubled lie-down marked by a commerce-distracting self-argument.

3:24 p.m. The lowlifer loudies outside a Valley West preschool may have been blither-blathering at top volume to the annoyance of the staff and students, but at least they spread a lot of trash around.

6:04 p.m. The clattering cro-magnon confederacy outside the preschool continued to augment their garbage collection.

7:20 p.m. A man said that his girlfriend had been kidnapped while getting off a bus in Fortuna. After paying a ransom, he heard from her – she’s been “dumped off” somewhere in Arcata, but he didn’t know where. He was worried that her phone battery would die before the damsel rescue was complete.

• Sunday, July 7 4:32 a.m. A perv called a nice lady to inflict on her the sounds of his desperate self-stimulation.

12:55 p.m. A man made off with a bottle of booze and a chicken from a Valley West supermarket, and they were soon to be united, if briefly, in his amoral digestive system.

1:30 p.m. A woman more or less occupied the rear entrance of a Valley West laundromat, first heaping her possessions up there, then tearing posters off the walls

and yelling at passersby.

6:17 p.m. A man who’d gone camping had told his mother, but she apparently forgot and reported him as missing.

7:24 p.m. At a Valley West filling station, a motorist topped off his gas tank with dino juice from the pump and his lungs with meth from a pipe, then, heart racing, zoomed off westbound toward the Giuntoli roundabout.

8:45 p.m. Add to Arcata’s list of unbearable annoyances the persistent circus music that made lives on K Street not worth living.

• Monday, July 8 2:11 a.m.

A minstrel serenaded the Plaza, after a fashion, with guitar and all-too-audible vocal stylings until discouraged by a government representative.

7:21 a.m. A “transient appearing” (as though anyone is permanent) man wearing an earth-toned ensemble unleashed pieces of his home planet on someone at 11th and D streets, charging his hapless quarry and pelting him with rocks, and not for the first time.

8:19 a.m. Again the woman who begs for handouts with a small child at downtown parking lot entrance was reported.

10:26 a.m. A swarm of bees engulfed a tree in the median of Alliance Road near Benjamin Court.

11:21 a.m. A man who’d previously been removed from a bus settled the score by hurling his white bicycle at it.

11:58 a.m. A man and woman

refused to move off the Community Park’s soccer field so that city workers could stripe it.

12:58 p.m. A flower child may be fetishizing the festive severed plant genitals to an excessive degree. Having made off with a bouquet from a Valley West supermarket and clad in red pants with white flowers, she scampered away toward a hamburger stand, refusing to relinquish the precious petals.

1:19 p.m. A person trying to fix a trampled fence on Giuntoli Lane got into an argy-bargy with some of the semi-feral shortcutters who helped screw it up in the first place. Words were exchanged, and not nurturing, unifying ones.

2:07 p.m. Another “transient” who ekes out a hardscrabble living on the fringes of Arcatopia was zonksprawled across the middle of a marsh trail. A city worker was confident that he was still breathing, although not even the close passage of a roaring riding motor bestirred him.

2:08 p.m. Alive with pleasure, barely, a smoker laid down on the sidewalk with a cigarette in hand in front of an Alliance Road school.

The person was moved along.

6:19 p.m. About the four gladiators in a near-brawl in Valley West, all we really know is their shirt color choices. A man in a green shirt whipped out a blade with which to impress two other gentlemen in white shirts and one in black, then put it away.

9:18 p.m. A drone hobbyist in

27th Street turned his attentions away from his soaring quadbuzzer to more terrestrial pursuits, according to a victim. Specifically, stabbing the man and his dog in the neck.

9:24 p.m. A drone hobbyist on 27th Street reported dangerous distractions as he directed his sky robot hither and yon. Specifically, a loose pit bull attacking him and its owner attempting to fight him.

• Wednesday, July 10, 2019 7:32 a.m. A wave of low-grade madness broke out across the landscape, and so did a man’s indecently exposed gen-pack at the transit center.

8:23 a.m. A man on H Street went kinetically horizontal, flailing and “floundering his arms” before curling up into a denim-shirted fetal pose. He was arrested for something unspecified.

8:23 a.m. A man in a G Street alley grew weary of arguing with himself, and tried to conjure strife with Arcata’s psychically calloused innocent passersby.

10:16 a.m. A man outside an H Street bank screamed obscenities at himself.

11:19 a.m. Asphalt wallowing’s obvious appeal spread to L.K. Wood Boulevard, where a woman with a pink blanket rolled around in a bike lane.

11:21 a.m. A shoeless woman in a pink shirt and holding several bags stood unmoving in the street on L.K. Wood Boulevard.

1 p.m. The city’s commitment to keep Carlson Park from turning into a lawless, camper-dominated pit o’ squalor suffered a setback

when a woman walking her dog there reported male campers harassing her.

1:55 p.m. A man and woman at Sixth and K streets used someone’s faucet to collect water, which they used to water the street. That accomplished, they picked roses from a private yard.

2:03 p.m. A person who’d been presumed to be in jail walked into a West End Road business and delivered a long, nonsensical letter.

3:10 p.m. A man in a two-tone hoodie outside a Valley West Boulevard business was either besfestered with brain-bamboozling substances or inherently unwell, possibly both as is not uncommon. After drawing attention to himself with wacky antics, the green-sleeved porch sprite danced away from the building.

• Thursday, July 11 8:59 a.m.

An unhappy backpacker dressed in brown stomped around cursing outside a Valley West restaurant.

10:27 a.m. More backpacker-in-brown frowniness as a man outside a Westwood Village shopping center yelled and screamed profanities.

11:37 a.m. A woman left her purse at the gates of a dumpster corral behind a Plaza restaurant, and when she went back for it, it wasn’t there.

3:32 p.m. A man was reported crawling about on all fours behind a weirdo-plaqued Valley West shopping center. At some point though, he got up and started walking to further lurk about the ass-end of a strip mall just like any nominally-evolved land mammal.

The stories behind the stories

SOLEMN JOURNEY The funeral procession of Sgt. Elden C. Justus as it entered Arcata last Thursday. Tony Gonsalves | Union

Respect the procession

Recently I had the honor to be part of a funeral procession of a Korean War Hero that had been missing in action. It was a touching event to see people lined up along the roadway with flags showing their respect.

There were even two Highway Patrol officers saluting as we passed. That sight brought tears to my eyes and I heard later that I was not the only one.

My sympathies to the family. I am pleased they finally got their loved one back after so many years.

I would like to thank the Humboldt County Sheriff’s office for the escort from the Humboldt County Line to Arcata. I would also like to thank my employer, Pacific Builders, for enthusiastically allowing me the time off for this special event.

As a child I remember seeing funeral processions but as an adult I can’t remember the last time I saw one. From what I witnessed during this procession, I have to assume not many drivers are familiar with them either so I thought I would give some helpful hints on funeral procession etiquette.

Tips for showing respect for a funeral procession: • If you encounter cars with mourners, be polite, pull over, and wait for them to pass before proceeding.

• Show respect by not honking your horn, revving your engine, or acting impatient in any way.

• Once the lead car has entered traffic, such as going through an intersection – the entire procession will follow without interrup-

tion. Even if their traffic light is red and yours is green, you must stop and allow the procession to continue through the intersection until all cars in the procession have passed.

• Don’t try to join the procession.

• Don’t cut into a procession.

It only takes a moment to show respect, imagine if it was your loved one in the hearse.

Respectfully, Carol Nelson Blue Lake

v LETTERS Just plant it

“When you look at the statistics of what’s happening to species, to rainforests, to forests of all kinds, it’s so overwhelming that it’s difficult to believe it. It’s utterly daunting. I wanted to tell a story about ordinary people who, for whatever reason, have that realisation about the irreversible destruction that’s happening right now and who get radicalised as a result. The book explores that question of how far is too far when it comes to defending this place, the only place we have to make a home.”

– From an interview of Richard Powers, author of The Overstory “In my opinion the implications of our study are that we need to respect forests as humanity’s best ally to protect the climate and our life support system.

Our study shows clearly that forest restoration is the best climate change solution available today” – From a report pub-

lished in Science this past July 4 A few weeks ago a friend of mine called to say that he had several small redwoods that needed a home.

Later that afternoon, while strolling through the plaza I took a picture of the planter where McKinley once stood and texted – “I think I know a spot.” His reply – “I had the same idea.”

And so, choosing to bypass the committee, we just planted it. It took two bags of compost and five minutes. Pretty simple. Felt pretty good.

THE PLAZA’S NEW TREES weren’t intended for the ages, and are gone. KlH | Union We knew the tree was likely to be pulled just as we knew its roots would only ever go a few inches deep before encountering the previous statue’s base – a 25 ton slab of granite.

And yet we did so just the same, as something of a challenge. For what would it say about our community, ourselves and our real ability to deal with climate change if we could indeed help this little one to grow and thrive? And perhaps more significant, what does it say if we can’t?

There is no one solution to climate change, and possibly at this point, no solutions left at all, but the simplest and easiest thing that any one of us can do right now, right here, in our own backyard, is to plant a tree.

And really, what better a symbol for Humboldt than a redwood?

That tree is gone, but perhaps someone might plant another?

Sadly, this story is not going away. Let’s see if maybe we can write a good ending.

Sincerely, Dave Reagan Sequoia Sempervirens Arcata

CASE NUMBER 19-30088 (DM)

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (2640) (the “Utility”) 19-30089 (DM)

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”) has entered an order (the “Bar Date Order1”) establishing October 21, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time) (the “Bar Date”) as the last date and time for each (i) person, as defined in section 101(41) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including, without limitation, all Fire Claimants (as defined below), Wildfire Subrogation Claimants (as defined below), and Customers (as defined below), and (ii) governmental unit (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code, collectively, the “Governmental Units”) to file a proof of claim (each a “Proof of Claim”) in respect of a prepetition claim (as defined in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code), including, for the avoidance of doubt, all secured claims and priority claims against either of the abovelisted debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”).

The Bar Date and the procedures set forth below for filing Proofs of Claim apply to all claims against the Debtors that arose before January 29, 2019 (the “Petition Date”), the date on which the Debtors commenced cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

1. WHO MUST FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM You MUST file a Proof of Claim to vote on a chapter 11 plan filed by the Debtors or to share in distributions from the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates if you have a claim that arose before the Petition Date, and it is not one of the types of claims described in Section 5 below. Claims based on acts or omissions of the Debtors that occurred before the Petition Date must be filed on or before the Bar Date, even if such claims are not now fixed, liquidated or certain or did not mature or become fixed, liquidated or certain before the Petition Date.

Under section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code and as used in this notice, the word “claim” means a right to (a) payment, whether such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured; or (b) an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured, or unsecured.

2. WHAT TO FILE A. Claimants other than Holders of Fire Claims.

The Debtors have prepared a Proof of Claim form for use by claimants in these Chapter 11 Cases other than Fire Claimants and Wildfire Subrogation Claimants (the “Standard Proof of Claim Form”). If your claim is listed on the schedules of assets and liabilities filed by the Debtors (collectively, the “Schedules”), you will receive in the mail a Standard Proof of Claim Form that sets forth the amount of your claim as listed on the Schedules, if applicable, the specific Debtor against which the claim is scheduled, and whether the claim is scheduled as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated.”

THE DEBTORS’ SCHEDULES AND ACCESS THERETO You may be listed as a holder of a claim against one or more of the Debtors in the Debtors’ Schedules. To determine if and how you are listed on the Schedules, please refer to the descriptions set forth on the instructions accompanying the Standard Proof of Claim Form(s) regarding the nature, amount, and status of your claim(s). If you rely on the Debtors’ Schedules or the Standard Proof of Claim Form(s) you receive in the mail from the Debtors, it is your responsibility to determine that the claim accurately is listed on the Schedules.

However, you may rely on the form you receive, which lists the amount of your claim as scheduled, identifies the Debtor against which it is scheduled, and specifies whether the claim is “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated.”

As set forth above, if you agree with the nature, amount, and status of your claim as listed in the Debtors’ Schedules, and if you do not dispute that your claim only is against the Debtor specified by the Debtors, and if your claim is not described as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated,” you need not file a Proof of Claim. Otherwise, or if you decide to file a Proof of Claim, you must do so before the Bar Date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you have a Fire Claim and it is listed as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated” you must file a Fire Proof of Claim Form.

Copies of the Debtors’ Schedules are available for inspection on the Bankruptcy Court’s electronic docket for the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, which is posted on (a) the Case Website and (b) the Bankruptcy Court’s website at http://www. canb.uscourts.gov. A login and password to the Bankruptcy Court’s Public Access to Electronic Records (“PACER”) are required to access this information on the Bankruptcy Court’s website and can be obtained through the PACER Service Center at http://www.pacer.gov. Copies of the Schedules also may be examined between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time), Monday through Friday at the Office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. Copies of the Debtors’ Schedules also may be obtained by request to Prime Clerk: PG&E Corporation; c/o Prime Clerk LLC; 850 Third Avenue, Suite 412; Brooklyn, NY 11232; Toll Free: (844) 339-4217; Email: pgeinfo@primeclerk.com.

Please note that Prime Clerk cannot provide legal advice, nor can it advise you as to whether you should file a Proof of Claim. A holder of a potential claim against the Debtors should consult an attorney regarding any matters not covered by this notice, such as whether the holder should file a Proof of Claim.

July 17, 2019 MIRE ON THE FOUNTAIN Lean, sinewy City Councilmember Paul Pitino and brawny, can-do Action Mayor Brett Watson spent their Sunday morning removing the muck and mire of the ages from the Plaza’s least-famous fixture, the Temperance League Fountain.

Installed in 1912 by the Arcata Women’s Christian Temperance Union, the “bubbler” was intended to give Arcata menfolk a quenching alternative to the town’s taverns, where all too many drank away their paychecks. The fountain doesn’t work at the moment, so the next step is repairing its plumbing. KLH | Union

NO BOVINE Following last week’s discovery of a loose yak a-wandering in the Jacoby Creek Forest (JCF) (Our ever-expanding yakiverse, Mad River Union, July 10), yet another yak sighting took place the day the paper came out.

On Jacoby Creek Road, just a hop, skip and a plod down from the JCF, a “shaggy cow” was reported in someone’s yard. The horny ruminant was shortly taken into custody by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.

It’s not known whether the yak at right is the same one previously seen up the hill.

Eat spicy, get sweaty!

ngry Chiles might not be the right name for this new booth at the market! Dave and Aniza Liming, who grow all of their peppers and most of the ingredients for their sauces and relishes, are just too sweet to be angry.

There’s a lot of laughter and happiness at their booth as folks try their wares.

Their colorful display includes seven varieties of hot sauce, fire cider, jams and chutneys, salsas, and spicy salt.

And these chiles are well traveled.

“We have a thousand pepper plants,” Dave Liming explained. “We start them in a friend’s greenhouse in Fieldbrook and then take them to Honeydew.”

Most of their plants grow in the ample sunshine in the Mattole Valley where the couple’s Live Oak Farm is located.

“A few of the superhots stay in our greenhouse,” he added, “but most of the plants are outside.”Their varieties include “all of the world’s hot peppers,” including Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost, California Reapers, Habanero and Scotch Bonnet.

Angry Chiles peppers are in demand to other hot sauce companies such as Weitchpec Hot Sauce and Humboldt Hot Sauce. It all depends on the crop.

“We may or may not have enough peppers for them,” Dave Liming said.

It’s their first year in the markets but they’ve been farming as a hobby for five years.

Their relishes are unique, including Chilera, a relish made from carrots, onions, chiles, Daikon radishes, and other ingredients. “It’s the condiment of Costa Rica,”he said. I tasted it and my cheeks turned as red as if I were getting a Costa Rican sunburn. Delicious!

I can’t wait to taste Aniza Liming’s inspired fig chutney.

“Last year our fig tree went insane,” she

said. “I had to do something with all those figs.” She was inspired to make a fig and onion chutney that just hearing about made my mouth water. I’ve made hundreds of jars of mango chutney when I lived in Hawaii where people force brown paper bags of mangos on you, rather as we do with zucchini in Humboldt County. And, thanks to overflow from my neighbor’s tree, I make plum chutney every summer. But fig chutney? I cannot wait!

Their Fire Cider is a tonic that is filled with cider infused with chiles for two months, spices and herbs, and raw honey. “Take a shot a day to keep the doctor away,” proclaims the label. Here’s a tonic that might just cure all evil.

The couple uses the commercial kitchen at the Arcata Veterans Hall to do their bottling.

It’’s easy to see that everything, as their business card says, is made in “Small Batches always made with love.”

Their hot sauces are available at the Co-op and Eureka Natural but for the full spicy experience, visit their booth at the Thursday afternoon McKinleyville market or the Tuesday afternoon Fortuna market.

They may be at the Saturday market in Arcata as space opens up. You’ll get to meet these delightful folks and taste everything.

Luffenholtz trail grand reopening Trinidad CoasTal land TrusT

TRINIDAD – The community is invited to celebrate the grand reopening of the Luffenholtz Beach trail and the transfer of the Luffenholtz Beach property to the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust (TCLT) on Thursday, July 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the Luffenholtz Beach trail head.

TCLT is the new owner and land manager of the Luffenholtz Beach property, including the beach trail and upper parking lot vista point trail. The 8-acre parcel was transferred by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to TCLT this past June, after the agency approved an internal land acquisition evaluation.

The state Wildlife Con-

servation Board approved the project at its March board meeting in Sacramento. TCLT has already made initial improvements to the property and is currently seeking funding to design, permit and develop additional improvements that will include a wheelchair accessible vista picnic area, ADA portable restroom facility, enhanced parking, interpretive signage, trail safety improvements and ecosystem restoration.

Recent site improvements at the Luffenholtz Beach trail include the installation of 99 new trail steps with help from American Hiking Society Volunteers and a driftwood carved beach sign, designed and produced by local middle school stu-

dents Malia and Ruby from McKinleyville Girl Scout Troop 90045.

TCLT volunteers currently maintain a doggy bag waste station, porta-potty unit and garbage patrol, which all help to provide a much cleaner beach environment.

TCLT has been involved in helping to maintain this site since 2013, when Humboldt County Parks was forced to cancel the long-standing maintenance agreement with the state because of budget restrictions.

While public funding was dropped, the beach continued to be a popular destination and felt the impacts of human use. To help maintain the health of the beach and provide pubLUFFENHOLTZ

ith all the sun out in Blue Lake, it’s easy to forget that there are other activities that take place inside that may be of interest to you!

Did you know that the Parks and Recreation Department has a variety of fun activities to choose from? Pickleball takes place three days a week (Mondays at 5:30 p.m. and Tuesdays/Thursdays at 1 p.m.).

Drop in sports (basketball, pickleball, foosball, etc) are on Thursdays at 6 p.m. The Mad River Grange has several instructors for Tai Chi and Yoga as well – check out madrivergrange.com for the most up to date calendar for those community activities.

I’ve been talking for the past two weeks about Pastels in the Park.

What an amazing event to be a part of, and this will be the second annual offering of this event on Saturday, July 27 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 312 Southn Railroad Ave. in Blue Lake.

Businesses sponsor a square, and artists create an image based on parameters from the sponsors of each square. If you would like to sponsor a square, or maybe you want to be an artist, contact Nathan Sailor at Blue Lake Parks and Recreation at (707) 668-5932. And for everyone else, come on out, enjoy the beautiful art, and play some games for Get Out and Play day in commemoration of Parks and Recreation Month!

OLD-TIMEY CONCERT Fort Humboldt Brass, complete in Civil War-era Union uniforms, will perform a two-hour concert on Saturday, July 27 at the Clarke Museum Plaza in Old Town Eureka. Dressed in remembrance of the U.S. Army’s Fort Humboldt in Eureka from the mid-19th century, the band will start off the performance with selections from the Civil War era, gradually working up to Humboldt County-composed music from local performers, including that of the prolific Prof. Frank Flowers. The set for the second hour will feature some new musical offerings, including General Grant’s March from 1862, as well as the modern Humboldt Brass premiere of Flowers’ The Gallant Traffic Cop. The day’s musical program will finish out with musical favorites from the 1960s through the 1980s, all part of the Clarke Museum’s Get Out and Play Day. The Clark Museum Plaza is located at 240 E St. in Old Town, and this event will start promptly at noon.

ile habitat that is being threatened by an increasing number of visitors, as well as invasive plants. The Wolf’s evening primrose (Oenothera wolfii), a California rare plant, occurs in low numbers on the sandy bluffs. The property contains the mouth of Luffenholtz Creek where it empties into the Pacific Ocean, a small reach of stream containing coastal cutthroat trout, stickleback, sculpin and lamprey.

This beach is popular with surf and smelt net anglers. The rocky shoreline contains kelp forest and intertidal habitat for marine wildlife. Luffenholtz Beach is an excellent place to view some of the off-shore rocks that are part of the California Coastal National Monument.

Luffenholtz Beach has been a traditional fishing beach for local Native people for thousands of years.

Traditional staple foods harvested at this beach include smelt, lamprey and seaweed. The beach lies

within the ancestral territory of the Yurok people, which includes coastal lands from Wilson Creek, in Del Norte County, to the Little River, just south of Trinidad. The Trinidad Coastal Land Trust intends to honor cultural values and to be inclusive of traditional land management.

“We want to partner with the Trinidad Rancheria and the Yurok Tribe to develop best management practices, and to design habitat protection and restoration projects. This the Yurok people’s ancestral lands where their ancestors lived and depended on the natural resources still being utilized by tribal people today.

We want to respect that and work with the Tribes to develop a culturally sensitive land management plan for this beach property as well as adjacent Land Trust holdings at Houda Point, Baker Beach, and for future trails projects,” said Ben Morehead, Director of the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust.

AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 17 Arcata, CA, Friday, June 28, 2019 – The City of Arcata recently completed an update to the City’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan.

The process of creating this plan includes identifying accessibility challenges in Arcata’s public spaces and developing solutions to make improvements. Once adopted, the plan will act as an outline for the City to take required steps toward full ADA compliance.

The City of Arcata is encouraging community members to provide input regarding the newly revised ADA Transition Plan. Feedback received will help identify existing concerns and assist the City with creating solutions to help everyone use Arcata’s streets, sidewalks and public buildings safely.

A draft of the updated ADA Transition Plan will be officially introduced to the Arcata City Council at their upcoming meeting on Wednesday, July 17 at 6 p.m. This meeting will take place in Council Chamber at City Hall, located at 736 F Street in Arcata.

At this meeting, the public comment period regarding the updated plan will be opened, and public comment will be accepted until Wednesday, August 14 at 5 p.m.

After public comment is incorporated into the revised ADA Transition Plan, it will be placed before City Council for adoption on Wednesday, August 21.

For more information or to review the draft of the revised ADA Transition Plan, visit cityofarcata.org or call (707) 8252128.

DIGITAL 299 BROADBAND PROJECT Public Meeting Announcement Inyo Networks, a certificated telecommunications service provider, is proposing to install fiber optic cable in northern California extending from Eureka to Cottonwood. The Project is funded in part by a grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and would support long-term connectivity for rural communities in the area, which have been identified by CPUC as un-served or underserved. The proposed alignment will generally follow California State Route 299 (see map). In total, approximately 280 miles of fiber optic line will be installed in buried underground conduit.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and California Environmental Quality Act, CPUC is requesting the public’s input to define the scope of the environmental study.

Open-house style public meetings will be held along the route the week of July 22, 2019.

During the meetings, the public will be able to learn about the Project and offer insights on issues that should be considered in the study.

For project information and instructions for submitting comments, please visit the Project webpage at: www.cpuc.ca.gov/environment/ info/transcon/Digital_299_Project Comments are due by August 12, 2019.

hese black and white kittens are always dressed to impress! Damon (M), Sunny (M), S’mores (F), Buttercup (F), Bubbles (F), and Myrtle (F) come from five separate litters and seem to have received the memo that attire is formal while waiting for a forever home.

Though they share similar physical characteristics, each one continues to

surprise us with their individual quirks and uniquely affectionate personalities.

Damon, Bubbles and Myrtle are the toy-hunters of the group; we’ll often spot one with a prized catnip mouse clutched proudly between their teeth.

Sunny

An active household with lots of room to play would be ideal for them. Sunny, Buttercup and S’mores love to be held and usually have their purr motors primed and at the ready.

We would love to match them up with families that have plenty of cuddling time available.

All of our adoptable cats are available to meet at 88 Sunny Brae Center, Arcata from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Please be aware that the animals fea-

tured here may have applications in the process of being reviewed.

If you are interested in a specific animal, please give us a call at (707) 826-PETS (7387) or come by to fill out an application.

We recommend bringing your family or roommates with you to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone!

All of the animals at Companion Animal Foundation have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, treated for parasites and are up to date on their vaccines.

f you have been considering adding a dog to your family, now is the time! The shelter is filled to capacity and then some, thanks in part to the dog nightmare that is the Fourth of July.

We never really know why sometimes dogs come in and turn right around and go back out, and other times no one comes for them. Add a neglect case or two, which never come with just one dog, and the shelter can get very full very fast.

The shelter manager has announced that the adoptable dogs will be available at reduced adoption fees all this week in an attempt to reduce the population a bit.

Fortunately for adopters, there is quite a selection to choose from right now!

This has been the season of the German Shepherd and there are males and females, both youngsters and

mature dogs. There are also several hounds, lab mixes, Pittie mixes and cattle dogs available.

All dogs and cats are spayed and neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations. They are currently being offered at a fraction of what that would cost at the vet. Don’t miss this opportunity!

One nice dog that is up for adoption is Cash. Cash is listed as a Border Collie mix, guesstimated to be about 6 years old. He is a slender, medium sized fellow.

Cash is a little timid, but reminds me of other dogs who have really bloomed once they are away from the excitement and barking that occurs at the shelter.

Though Cash seems a little skittish, I noticed that he will come to me instead of running away when nervous.

Cash

He definitely knows the word “come” and several other obedience skills.

This sweet boy just needs a gentle hand and some reassurance that he is safe and loved. I didn’t see much interest in balls, though he did check out the toys that we had.

He is happy to be petted, walked or given the chance to explore the yard. He will be a very loyal companion to the person that gives him a new home!

One of the younger dogs available is Ranger. Ranger is a Shepherd mix of about 6 months old. He is a lot of fun, playful and responsive.

Ranger was adopted but his new owner had a family emergency that took her out of state for an uncertain period of time and she didn’t have someone to stay with him. She was very sad to have to return him. Outside of the kennel, Ranger is one of our social butter-

flies!

He gets along well with the other dogs and is respectful of them if they don’t want to play the same way that he does. He is equally friendly with dogs and humans and we’d expect him to be quite easy to work with for ongoing training. There are several teenage pups, all about five or six months old at the shelter. They are at a great age for molding into just the dog that you might want them to be. Come

Ranger

check out Ranger and his young friends if you are interested in a younger dog!

Both of these dogs, and many more, are available through the Humboldt County Animal Shelter, located at 980 Lycoming Ave. in McKinleyville. All of the currently available dogs and cats can be seen online at petharbor.com or by stopping in at the shelter Monday through Friday.
