Privileged Protest

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

B

y now, just about everyone has seen the photograph. It’s of a brunette white woman standing on the Humboldt County Courthouse lawn with a smattering of American flags in the background. Her head is cocked to the right, sunglasses covering her eyes and a red bandana tied around her neck above a jean jacket. In her hands, a vilely racist sign. It reads “MUZZLES ARE FOR DOGS AND SLAVES. I AM A FREE HUMAN BEING,” with an iconic image of enslaved black Brazilian woman Escrava Anastacia wearing a muzzle next to the words.

The photo was taken by Journal contributor Mark McKenna and posted to local reporter Kym Kemp’s website. From there, it quickly went viral, drawing appropriate condemnation from all corners of the country. There’s so much offensive about the sign — its equating enslaved people to dogs, intoning that such people aren’t, in fact, human and comparing a facial covering order designed to prevent the spread of a deadly disease to the institution of slavery, to name a few — that along with social media backlash, questions arose as to whether it was real or had been digitally doctored. The fact-checking website Snopes even ran a story about it, confirming that, yes, it was real and originated right here in Humboldt County.

Some have raised alarm about the way this photo spread, saying the women (two white women posed with the sign, though only one image has spread like virtual wildfire) holding the sign were just exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly. That’s true. The Bill of Rights does protect someone’s individual right to stand on a street corner with a sign that’s deeply offensive, just as it protects the rights of the rest of us to decry doing so as offensive and racist. We should add that there’s no right to privacy in a public space, so don’t do something on a street corner you don’t want to see on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper or trending on social media. It’s also been reported that some have called for or threatened physical violence in response to the photo, which obviously is not protected speech.

But make no mistake, this is about much more than a racist sign — this is about white privilege and white exceptionalism. Sure, the layers of privilege and racism, conscious or subconscious, that would prompt someone to make or display a sign like that are breathtaking, but they can also be seen as emblematic of the mindsets driving these protests across the country. Next time you see photos or video of

one of these “liberate” protests somewhere in the country, scan the crowd — you won’t see many black or brown faces.

And that’s not a coincidence, as it’s communities of color — along with older populations — that have disproportionately felt the sting of this disease. Preliminary data in Michigan shows that black people, while representing just 14 percent of the population, account for 41 percent of COVID-19 deaths. Similarly, 14 percent of Illinois’ population is black compared to 32.5 percent of its COVID-19 deaths. In New York City, officials reported black and Latino people were twice as likely to die of COVID-19 than their white counterparts. In Louisiana, black people make up 33 percent of the population and 70 percent of COVID-19 deaths.

There are, of course, reasons for these disparate COVID-19 outcomes, and it’s not that the virus itself is racist. Rather, it’s that gross health inequities existed throughout this country long before a new respiratory illness surfaced in China last year. Those inequities are the legacy of hundreds of years of slavery, segregated schools and hospitals and the systemic oppression and exploitation of generations of people, and manifest in everything from reduced access to healthcare and being more likely to live in communities with environmental health hazards to limited access to healthy food and added level of employment stress.

(Generational inequities also leave people of color more likely to work in the service sectors where employees are heavily exposed to the virus.)

That’s the context under which groups of mostly white people have taken to streets and the steps of statehouses throughout the country to bemoan the “oppression” of shelter-in-place restrictions and facial covering orders. And it’s the context in which people of color, also experiencing personal and economic impacts, hear protesters shout loudly that their comfort, bank accounts and jobs deserve more consideration than people’s lives.

Make no mistake, history will judge our handling of COVID-19, a generational event. Like all flashpoints, there will be powerful images that tell the story, capturing sentiments of the day. We fear that if officials’ worst predictions of COVID-19 come to pass, McKenna’s photo from in front of the Humboldt County Courthouse will help new generations of Americans understand how a privileged class ignored the collective good and left society’s marginalized and most vulnerable to once again bear unthinkable costs. l

The Takeout Menu

Where to get food to go in Humboldt

A

Are you concerned about paying your utility bill?

t this stage of shelter in place, takeout is the name of the game. Scores of local restaurants have made the move to curbside, delivery and to-go menus, re-shuffling their hours and ordering to keep their patrons and staff safer. We’ve compiled a partial list here — if you don’t see your own establishment, let us know by emailing calendar@northcoastjournal.com and we’ll update.

And if you head to one of these places, remember: Wear a mask and keep it on; wash/ sanitize your hands; order, pay and tip in advance when possible; make your tip pandemic appropriate for the folks taking on risk to feed you; and stay back a full 6 feet from both staff and other customers.

Why Mass Gatherings Terrify Health Officials

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

O

ver the past week, Humboldt County Public Health Officer Teresa Frankovich has repeatedly expressed the concern that some local residents are ignoring current prohibitions on gatherings.

And whether social functions or church services, the Journal has fielded a growing body of tips and reports to support that her concerns are well founded.

In the midst of all this, two local casinos — operated by sovereign tribes and tribal lands, and thus not subject to state or local health orders — recently opened over Frankovich’s objections.

“The gathering of people is a significant risk,” she said, noting that one need only look at case clusters linked to large gatherings in other areas of the country for proof. “As careful as [the casinos] might be … you cannot get away from the fact that we’re putting large numbers of people into a space indoors for extended periods of time.”

As Frankovich suggested, looking at outbreak clusters from across the country can offer some insight into why health officials are so concerned about the prospect of large groups of people from different households getting together, no matter the setting.

The Centers for Disease Control has studied and reported on two separate clusters, both of which began in midMarch.

The first cluster is believed to have originated amid a two-and-a-half-hour choir practice on March 10 in Skagit County, Washington, that was attended by 61 people, including one who’d experienced mild cold-like symptoms for a few days prior. The group sang together, sitting 6 to 10 inches apart, split into smaller groups, munched on cookies and orange slices during a break, and then reconvened to sing all together for the final 40 minutes.

In the weeks after the practice, 32 of the choir members who’d participated were confirmed to have COVID-19, with 20 more experiencing symptoms and suspected to have the disease. Three of the choir members were hospitalized and two died. The CDC’s report does not cover how many other people these choir members may

have infected after contracting the virus.

The second cluster studied by the CDC occurred around the same time in rural Arkansas after a pastor and his wife on March 16 became the first confirmed COVID cases in a county of about 25,000 people, prompting the Arkansas Department of Public Health to investigate. According to the CDC’s report, the couple had attended a three-day children’s event from March 6 through March 8 and a bible study group on March 11. The CDC determined that a total of 92 people attended the events.

Thirty-five were later confirmed to have COVID-19, including three who died. Contract tracing by county health officials also linked 26 other cases to the church cluster, including one who died.

“Despite canceling in-person church activities and closing the church as soon as it was recognized that several members of the congregation had become ill, widespread transmission within (the church) and within the surrounding community occurred,” the report states.

Media accounts have also traced a host of outbreak clusters to events that saw large numbers of people co-mingle. There was the Feb. 29 funeral for a retired janitor in Albany, Georgia, attended by more than 200 people. Among them was a man from Atlanta who would later be identified as the state’s first COVID-19 death. What followed was an outbreak that “hit like a bomb,” according to a New York Times report, with the funeral believed to have been a flashpoint in the outbreak that killed at least 24 people and overwhelmed the healthcare system in a county of 90,000.

The Washington Post, meanwhile, detailed an outbreak in Detroit, Michigan, which was traced back to a gathering of active and retired sheriff’s deputies at a popular jazz club in early March.

From the Post’s account: “Donafay Collins, a popular 63-yearold commander in the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office who moonlighted as a Motown DJ and taught colleagues how to ballroom dance, made his way through the crowd, resplendent in a black-onblack tie and shirt.

An infographic explaining the findings of a Centers for Disease Control investigation into a COVID-19 cluster traced back to an Arkansas church. CDC “He was happy at work, he told friends.

His family was healthy. Life was good. “’What a night!’ he wrote on Facebook the next day.

“Less than three weeks later, at least seven partygoers were sick, down with COVID-19. Dozens more were ill at the sheriff’s office. And Collins, a father of four, was dead.”

Across the nation, there are many, many similar stories.

Scientists are still scrambling to understand the new virus and exactly how it spreads, but there’s a growing consensus that clusters play a huge part. Without social distancing or other mitigations measures, studies show the average COVID-19 patient spreads the virus to three other people but the reality is that many spread the virus to no one, while a few spread it widely.

“Probably about 10 percent of cases lead to 80 percent of the spread,” Adam Kucharski, an infectious disease analyst at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told Science Magazine.

One factor appears to be that while

COVID-19 is believed to spread mostly through droplets — small bits of saliva emitted through a cough, sneeze or even speaking — it can also spread through aerosols.

Droplets fall through the air and land on a surface — a counter, someone’s hand, a glass — and then can spread to another person who unwitting touches them and then their face or mouth. This is why health officials recommend people maintain 6 feet of physical distancing at all times (so the droplets emitted by someone’s sneeze fall to the ground instead of onto someone else) and frequent hand washing (so those droplets someone picks up from a surface are washed away before infecting whoever happened to touch them).

But researchers also believe aerosols play a role in the virus’ spread, and potentially are the primary source of mass exposures. While saliva and mucus droplets are heavier than air, meaning they fall to the ground, aerosols form when tiny droplets evaporate before falling to the ground, leaving virus particles floating through the air for up to a half an hour, according to

one study.

There are a lot of factors in the amount of aerosols someone pumps into the air, researchers believe. One study found that the volume at which people speak is a contributing factor, and there’s also reason to believe certain activities — like singing (which could help explain the severity of the choir and church clusters) or heavy exercise — cause people to emit more aerosols.

It’s this prospect of aerosol spread coupled with confining large numbers of people in an indoor space that terrifies public health officials.

Consider this from Science Magazine:

another to be heard over the din. A patron shedding large amounts of the virus while socializing at a casino could potentially expose hundreds of people at once. It’s a scenario that alarms health officials, from hospital administrators overseeing a limited number of beds and staff to care for patients to those in public health, who know the capacity to conduct contact tracing investigations would be stretched in a scenario where dozens of new cases

appear at once.

Frankovich was blunt in her assessment when asked about the prospect of casinos reopening on the North Coast this past weekend.

“What I can say is this is not the time,” she said. “We are far too early in this and ultimately there is no way to get around the fact that these are mass gatherings. It’s an entertainment venue and people are not only together in large numbers but

they’re together for large periods of time, which extends risk … I don’t think it’s the time. I would clearly oppose the opening of casinos right now in our community.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

“Some situations may be particularly risky. Meatpacking plants are likely vulnerable because many people work closely together in spaces where low temperature helps the virus survive. But it may also be relevant that they tend to be loud places, [London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine research Gwenan Knight, who has created a database of superspreading events] says. The report about the choir in Washington made her realize that one thing links numerous clusters: They happen to be in places where people shout or sing. And although Zumba classes have been connected to outbreaks, Pilates classes, which are not as intense, have not, Knight notes. ‘Maybe slow, gentle breathing is not a risk factor, but heavy, deep, or rapid breathing and shouting is.’”

Studies have also shown that, for reasons that are still unknown, some people — including asymptomatic carriers — simply shed the virus at higher rates for longer periods than other people.

And all this brings us back to casinos, large social gatherings and Frankovich’s concerns. Casinos and their accompanying bars are generally loud places, with music blaring and slot machines chiming, forcing patrons to speak loudly to one

hen Alder Bay Assisted Living Interim Administrator Mark Stephenson answered the facility’s main phone line on May 20, the exhaustion hung heavy in his voice.

Over the previous nine days, he and his staff had been working frantically to confront what every assisted living and skilled care facility in the nation fears: a COVID-19 outbreak. The numbers were mounting, with five staff members and seven residents having tested positive for the virus, and two residents having become the county’s first confirmed COVID-19 deaths just days apart.

“I just haven’t had time to breathe,” Stephenson said, asking the Journal to give him 10 minutes before calling back on his cell phone.

COVID-19’s highly contagious nature, coupled with the fact that many who contract the virus never fall ill with symptoms and a national shortage of instant-read tests, means it can tear through congregate living facilities, from jails and prisons to nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Because the disease has disproportionate impacts on people with underlying health issues and over the age of 65, it has had devastating impacts on care homes for seniors and the infirm throughout the nation.

When Stephenson picked up the Journal’s second call, he explained that he felt Alder Bay was taking all the appropriate precautions. Thanks in part to its business office manager Joh-Nika Ivory having studied epidemiology and environmental health in college, Stephenson said several

members of the facility’s leadership team were proactive in developing protocols for cleaning, disinfecting and shuttering the facility to visitors when COVID-19 first began to spread through the United States.

“I think we were one of the first places in town to lock our doors,” he said, adding he’s grateful Ivory and others “pressed” in the right direction.

After 20 years in the business, Stephenson took on the job as Alder Bay’s interim “traveling director,” with the plan of spending 10 days at the facility and four days back home in Salt Lake City while Alder Bay looked to make a permanent hire.

Then COVID-19 hit, he began sheltering in place in Eureka and everything changed.

“We were infection free for a while,” he said. “Then we had our first case.”

Things moved quickly from there. Stephenson said state and local public health officials have been wonderful in helping he and his staff navigate the outbreak, doing virtual walk throughs of the facility and making sure Alder Bay has enough personal protective equipment for staff.

There was a problem getting washable gowns, he said, but then Arcata paddle sports apparel company Kokatat made them some.

Stephenson said some employees who worked at multiple care facilities had to stop working at Alder Bay after its first confirmed case, and the health department has put the entire staff on a modified quarantine, allowing them only to travel to and from work. Then, he said, some staff members left due to underlying conditions — like asthma or age — that made them vulnerable. Then there were some who didn’t fit into a risk group but were caring for someone vulnerable at home or had young children and decided not to risk continuing work at Alder Bay. Then, of course, there are staff members who fell ill.

“And very quickly, as your care needs with your sick residents are increasing, at the same time your staffing is being depleted,” he said. “That’s been a real stress.

Managers jumped in — our office manager, activities director, myself — we’re all filling shifts on the floor, making sure we are providing resident care. That’s not going unmet, it’s just being accomplished at a high price in terms of our emotional, mental and physical stamina.”

He paused for a moment. “You know,

the residents being ill — that’s the real tragedy — but as an administrator, if I were talking to other healthcare administrators, another real nightmarish part of this is what happens with your staffing.”

Things are starting to look up a bit, he said, noting that the state has sent some reinforcements and a staffing agency has helped get more boots on the ground.

But it’s been hard, and he concedes things have moved so quickly his staff hasn’t really had a chance to grieve the loss of two residents.

“There are those [staffers] who become very emotionally attached and there are some who — they’re certainly caring — but it’s just the work they’re doing and they don’t have quite the emotional connection,” he said. “We’ve had so much to deal with on the day to day, I don’t think anybody has had much time to stop and reflect on the loss of these people and the lives they lived and who they were in the way they would have under normal circumstances. … In any crisis, it’s what happens. You just kind of bear down, you become very task oriented and everything else kind of slides off to the side.”

Journal attempts to contact other Alder Bay staff members were unsuccessful by deadline but some have taken to social media to express frustration.

“To all the fuck ass dipshits who don’t take this virus seriously, who cry every day about shelter in place and physical distancing and wearing a mask … how about a big FUCK YOU!” one wrote on Facebook recently. “I feel like I’m walking into a fucking gas chamber every day to take care of these people, our elders, our grandparents, while you are all bitching about being safe in your home.”

About a week later, after the deaths, the staffer posted again, expressing how hard it’s been to see commenters on social media and news sites critical of Alder Bay’s care when they don’t know anything about what the facility is doing to protect staff and residents.

“I can’t speak for every staff member but for me, I tried so hard to save them,” the post states. “Disinfected constantly throughout my shifts from the moment COVID-19 was said to be in the United States … way before [shelter in place]. … I have worked at Alder Bay for 16 years. The residents are not my patients or clients they are my friends and family. So people

questioning the procedures and conduct of staff in preparation and handling of this virus need to ask the questions and not presume they know. You do not know, and it’s salt in the wound to blame the people who did their best. All I have been through in that building over these years has always come down to me loving my people and doing everything I can for them. This time I can’t save them and it’s wearing down on my [heart] and soul.”

In interviews with the Journal, family members of Ida Newell, an Alder Bay resident who become the first person in Humboldt County to die of COVID-19, were universal in their praise of Alder Bay. “That place is a blessing,” said Catherine Fanucchi, Newell’s sister-in-law, emotion evident in her voice. “It’s beautiful. They take such good care of people.”

In the May 20 conversation, the Journal asked Stephenson whether he feared for his safety working in the facility.

“I personally don’t,” he answered quickly. “I’m in a situation, my wife passed six years ago. My kids are all grown and independent. I’m very much on my own and I just kind of have a view of life that there are greater powers than me that control these things and I’m perfectly comfortable with whatever destiny or outcome comes next. I certainly don’t want to become ill, but for me personally — unlike other staff who have family or kids to think about and make decisions based on that — I feel I’m pretty free and clear to do what needs to be done and not think about it too much. Death doesn’t scare me at all.”

On May 25, the Journal called to follow up with Stephenson. Two days earlier, Public Health had confirmed two additional Alder Bay staff members had the virus.

Stephenson said he was among them, that he is now COVID positive and quarantining at home. He said he hasn’t suffered any symptoms.

“I had felt really, really tired Thursday but assumed it was just because we’ve all been working day and night,” he said, adding his voice has been a “slight bit gravely.”

All things considered, though, he said the timing isn’t bad. Staffing reinforcements, as well as a new administrator — Ridgeline Management Co. Regional Director of Operations Matthew Glencoe — had arrived Friday, he said, so there shouldn’t be any disruption in care for Alder Bay residents. ●

Remembering Humboldt’s first COVID-19 death for a life well lived

A Fanucchi family portrait, with Ida at the bottom left, that hung for decades on the wall of Roy’s Club in Eureka Photo by Mark McKenna

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

da Adelia Newell, an avid reader with a quick wit who loved golf and traveling the world but always returned to her lifelong home in Humboldt County, died May 17 of COVID-19. She was 97.

Ida’s long life bridged Humboldt County’s present and its past, from bootleggers and United Service Organization dances to the Redwood Coast Dixieland Jazz Festival and ultimately the global pandemic that has altered life here indefinitely. But those who knew her best say Ida lived with a smile, a laugh and an ever present curiosity, engaging life at every turn with a firm sense of what was right.

“She was kind of a joker but she was serous about a lot of things,” says her older brother Evo Fanucchi over the phone. “She was just a nice person but she wanted things to be her way — not her way but the way things should be. She didn’t take much from anyone.”

Born Nov. 28, 1922, in what was then Trinity Hospital in Eureka, the youngest of Angelo and Teresa Fanucchi’s three children, Ida spent the first couple years of her life in Arcata before the family moved to an apartment on Eureka’s D Street above what would later become Roy’s Club restaurant, a community institution named after Ida’s eldest brother. After moving to Eureka, she met Jennie Maffia.

Maffia was a little more than a year older than Ida but the two made fast friends.

“They got to be friends and were friends from then on,” Evo Fanucchi says.

“They grew up together and had lots of adventures.”

“They were almost like sisters,” Lynn McKenna, Maffia’s daughter and Ida’s goddaughter adds later.

With a chuckle, McKenna recounts a

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 28, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

favorite story of her godmother’s: Maffia and Ida’s brothers were all in school when the family moved to Eureka, so Teresa Fanucchi sent little Ida trundling off with them to start the school year. But the kindergarten teacher took one look at Ida and sent her back home, saying she was still too young to attend.

After having to wait another year or two, Ida attended Eureka City Schools, ultimately graduating from Eureka High School in 1940. But Ida’s childhood was anything but typical, as she noted during a 2017 interview with the North Coast Journal as Roy’s Club offered its final dinner service after nearly a century in operation.

Ida, whose features favored her father, showed up wearing a black and white scarf, her pear-gray hair airily coifed with a forward curl above each ear (she was very particular about her hair, those who knew her say) and recounted how the place was a speakeasy when she first moved in at the age of 2.

“Upstairs they had what we called the plant,” she said, explaining that there was a pipe with a tap that dispensed water if you turned the knob one way, whiskey if

you turned it the other to fool authorities should one try to test the spigot. Ida smiled and waved a hand, “We used to play with it.”

Ida also recounted how on one of her father’s bootlegging runs, he dropped her, Evo and Teresa off in Calistoga while he picked up 5-gallon drums of grain alcohol and loaded them into his truck. “My father made a bed over the top,” she said, adding that he had the children lie on top for the ride home. When a highway patrolman stopped them for a broken tail light, “My father turned around,” Ida recalled, jabbing her finger in the air, “and told us, ‘Don’t you open your eyes — you two stay asleep.’” The children did and the officer sent Angelo and his family on their way.

When the U.S. entered World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Angelo and Teresa — both of whom had immigrated to the U.S., leaving their family homes in Tassignano, Italy, among a wave of millions of Italians who fled poverty to seek better lives elsewhere — were considered “enemy aliens” and forbidden from coming within four blocks of Humboldt Bay. They moved temporarily to

a house on Fifth Street, leaving Ida, a U.S. citizen, to run the businesses for about six months. Ida’s first job outside the family business was down the street at the original Bon Boniere, where she scooped ice cream with Maffia.

During the war, Maffia and Ida frequented USO dances at the Eureka Municipal Auditorium and after the war ended, Ida attended Craddocks Business School.

With a diploma in hand, she went to work in various local insurance offices, including Pettengill-Merryman General Insurance, and agencies owned by Harry J. Adorni and Myron Abrahamson. Through much of it, after clocking out of her day job she would grab an apron at Roy’s Club.

“After work, she’d come down at 4 or 5 in the afternoon and work as a cocktail waitress,” Evo recalls. “She was very personable. She loved people, and we all got along pretty good. Roy was cooking, I tended bar and she was the cocktail waitress for a long time.”

After a marriage to Joe McKay that didn’t work out, Ida married Kenneth Newell in 1982 — the two hit it off over shared passions for travel and golf, with

Roy having taught Ida the game.

“After they got married, they bought a travel trailer and traveled up to Alaska,” Evo says. “They traveled quite a bit.”

The pair took frequent road trips and would fly out to New York with Maffia and her family from time to time, where they would enjoy the big city, staying in the Algonquin Hotel and catching shows on Broadway. In retirement, the pair bought a second home in Arizona, where they’d spend winters on the golf course.

Kenny Newell died of Lou Gehrig’s disease in 1992, which was tremendously hard in Ida, Evo says, and she moved back home to Eureka to live full time.

While Ida never had children, she adored kids, Evo says, and developed “very, very close” relationships with her nieces and nephews and was a fixture in Lynn McKenna’s life.

“She was always involved in our birthday celebrations and holidays,” McKenna says.

Traveling was also a mainstay throughout Ida’s life, and she visited China, the Canary Islands, Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Continued on page 15 » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, May 28, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

other countries on various trips. In 1996, she embarked on a month-long driving tour of Europe with Evo that took her to Italy for the first time. There she and Evo met family in Tassignano, near Lucca.

“We loved it there,” Evo says wistfully, caught up in the memory of the trip. “We had a lot of fun, met a lot of people.”

McKenna says the trip was incredibly important to Ida, noting “she was always very proud of her Italian heritage.”

As Ida got older, she started putting her time into volunteering, first at the Redwood Coast Dixieland Jazz Festival, where she tended bar for the kick-off dance, worked various venues and helped with the children’s concerts. Ida liked the music, McKenna says, adding that she also suspects Ida did it out of an affinity for her, recognizing how passionate McKenna was about the festival.

She also spent some time volunteering in the gift shop at St. Joseph Hospital after some friends encouraged her to find a way to get out and give back. McKenna says her godmother enjoyed her time there, running into acquaintances and chatting up strangers.

“Ida was a people person — she just liked being around people,” she says.

One of the remarkable things about Ida’s life according to those who knew her well was how she managed to forge deep, lasting friendships, some of which spanned decades. Central to some of these was an informal social group known as “The Ladies,” who met for cocktails at 4 p.m. every Friday. Jennie Maffia and Edi Barlow were mainstays in the group, which also came to include Nancy Allen and Jean Neilson before broadening to a new generation of friends, including McKenna, Lorraine Losh, Janis Estevo and Lonni Magellan-Hodge.

“The cocktail group was a highlight of Ida’s life,” McKenna says, adding that while her godmother appreciated a good Martini or a scotch on the rocks, the company and the connections were the real highlight, as the group would often go from cocktails to dinner or some other outing. “The were important to Ida and all played a special part in her life.”

Ida broke her ankle in 2016, which is what led her to Alder Bay Assisted Living.

She liked it there, Evo and McKenna say, adding that she made friends with some residents and enjoyed time to herself in her room, watching golf and reading books. McKenna says Ida loved a good mystery but enjoyed fiction of all types, from Danielle Steel’s romances to James Patterson’s thrillers.

“She was perfectly content to sit in her room and read a book,” she says.

During one of her last conversations

with Ida, McKenna says her godmother said she was bored, having already read all the books in her room and everything in Alder Bay’s library. She dropped off a bag of books and got a call a couple of days later from Ida, who’d read one and already started another.

The emotion is evident in Evo’s voice when he talks about his sister’s time at Alder Bay. “They took beautiful care of her,” he says. “She was very, very happy there.”

Evo says he and his wife Catherine would go visit Ida once or twice a week until news of COVID-19 shuttered the facility to visitors in late February or early March.

“When the virus hit, we called each other every day,” Evo says, adding that he spoke to his sister the day she passed.

Ida had tested positive for the virus a couple of days earlier, on May 15, as a part of routine testing to contain the outbreak at the facility. She then called the morning of May 17 to say she’d spiked a fever and they were going to take her to the hospital as a precaution.

“She felt fine other than the fever — no other symptoms,” Evo says, his voice trailing off. “It was so fast. I couldn’t believe it that afternoon when we got the call.”

But those who knew and loved Ida don’t want her remembered as some grim statistic, the first local death tied to a once-in-a-generation pandemic. Instead, they’ll remember her as a once in a generation personality, a kind, gregarious soul who loved to connect with people, to share stories and adventures.

On Friday, May 24, at 4 p.m., McKenna and others convened a video conference call to raise glasses and share a toast in Ida’s honor. What they expected would take a few minutes spanned hours as more than a dozen people joined the call with stories to share.

Ida would have liked that.

“Ida was always a good time,” says Evo’s wife, Catherine Fanucchi. “She just always was a good time.”

Ida’s family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made in Ida’s honor to the Eureka Rescue Mission, P.O.

A Virtual Oyster Fest Shucking crowds for a socially distant event

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 28, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

s the days grow warmer and COVID-19 lingers, bivalve enthusiasts have wondered what’s to become of the 30th annual Arcata Bay Oyster Festival, née Oyster Fest. On Saturday, May 23, the answer came, at least partially, from Arcata Main Street’s Facebook page and website.

The all-day seafood, beer and music binge is going virtual June 20. “We plan to show a different, more informational side of our oysters, the Arcata Bay, our local breweries and restaurants by creating an interactive virtual experience,” the post announces.

Arcata Main Street, for which the festival is the single largest source of revenue, also teases available DIY food and drink kits packed with oysters, local beer, wine and cider to enjoy while streaming the event. The artwork on the organization’s website still includes oyster farmers, chefs, the annual Best Oyster competition, live music and DJs, as well as history and an aptly named “HSU House Party.”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the social distancing required to slow the spread of the virus has put the kibosh on mass gatherings until state and county health officials declare the area ready for stage four and the end of shelter in place.

The notoriously crowded Oyster Fest, drawing visitors from far and wide, would, of course, be impossible under these restrictions. But it’s not just a canceled party — these are cultural and social losses for Humboldt communities, as well as financial gut punches for organizations and vendors counting on summer event revenue, not to mention the opportunity to showcase their wares before potential new customers. One need only look at last year’s ruckus over the exclusion of Humboldt beer at the festival, due to the deal Arcata Main Street struck with Crescent City’s SeaQuake Brewing, to see how vital the exposure and connection to the massive community event are for local businesses.

The Humboldt County Fair recently announced its cancelation with acknowledgement of the economic impact it will have on local hotels, restaurants and other

businesses, as well as a promise from the fair board and Junior Livestock Auction Committee to “support youth livestock exhibitors thru the completion and sale of their 2020 livestock projects.” The Mad River Festival is likewise holding off until 2021, though Dell’Arte has an increasing roster of online panels and streaming of prior performances to feed its theater audiences. Even the Grand Kinetic Sculpture Race turned to streaming teams performing solo challenges and Eureka’s Friday Night Market is re-emerging as an online shopping hub for local products.

But adapting food festivals to live online platforms anywhere has yet to be tested and the plans for taking Oyster Fest virtual are still to be revealed. Over the phone, board member Ceva Courtemanche says that the goals, however, are clear: “We’re just trying to stimulate the economy.” If organizers are able to do that, Oyster Fest might serve as a test balloon (or even blueprint) for beer festivals and other events normally scheduled for the summer and fall.

Courtemanche says the general idea is for people to pick up pre-ordered kits

and “do their own small intimate oyster fest while streaming from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. … and people can stream it like a football game or an awards show or something like that.” It’s a socially distant take on a communal eating experience, though more focused on watching a central presentation than the two-dimensional mingling of the Zoom cocktail hours and dinners so many of us have taken up.

“We’re working on certain aspects of it,” she said, adding that “people can follow our website because, as we go, we’re going to be announcing more information.” The ecology of the bay, oyster harvesting methods and back stories of local breweries are among the topics of the streaming segments but for now, the participating presenters, oyster producers, breweries and wineries — even the name

of the artist who created the illustration on the website — are under wraps. For full disclosure, I’ve again been invited to judge the oyster competition but the logistics of that event, where judges normally would huddle around a common table and sample the entries of restaurants and vendors around the plaza, haven’t been shared with me, either.

Like so much of our survival and enjoyment — in food and company — in the shadow of the pandemic, the strategies are shifting and we’ll have to wait and see.

Jennifer Fumiko Cahill of the North Coast Journal will lead a discussion with panelists Pata Vang, a clinical social worker at With Open Arms, Roger Wang, Dean of Students at HSU and Shomick Mukherjee, journalist with the Times-Standard.

They will discuss issues revealed in the short film.

In it Together

The Lovebirds’ wild ride hits a bump

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com THE LOVEBIRDS. There’s a lot to unpack here, both in terms of the movie itself and pandemic-related shifts in the industry. I’ll briefly address the latter before belaboring the former.

Paramount had The Lovebirds slated for theatrical release — granted, April isn’t exactly prestige season but still — and, facing the current closure and future uncertainty of theaters, made a game-time decision: They sold the movie to Netflix.

This can hardly be called the tipping point but it would seem to be another example of the perhaps permanent changes with which the movie industry is faced. Most of this summer’s major releases have been pushed back. We won’t see the next Fast and Furious installment until 2021 and the new Bond has been tentatively rescheduled for late fall. Warner Bros. remains the holdout, insisting that Christopher Nolan’s Tenet has the clout to re-open cinemas worldwide in July. I’m skeptical. Paramount, having lost the tent-pole arms race, seems both more desperate and more pragmatic.

I haven’t seen the books but I suspect the studio has a greater need to get its content to market, to recoup production costs than the bigger (and smaller) players. Hard to say, but they seem to be something of a canary in the coal mine of conventional production and distribution models. Maybe they’re the slowest gazelle.

At any rate, The Lovebirds has become yet another example of the virus-accelerated

need for the industry to adapt to a rapidly changing marketplace. Whether the move to Netflix, rather than to a rental VOD platform or a postponed theatrical opening, will put The Lovebirds in front of more viewers remains to be seen. But it is undeniable evidence of unprecedented shifts in the way we can and will watch movies as time goes on.

More to the meat of the thing, The Lovebirds stars Kumail Nanjiani — whom I’ve been following for a decade or so, first as a stand-up and podcaster, more lately as a Movie Star (!) — and Issa Rae, who seems poised to become a titan of the industry and possesses a striking sense of composure and comic timing in front of the camera; both are credited as executive producers. It is directed by Michael Showalter, a comic force in his own right (The State, Stella, Wet Hot American Summer) who has re-cast himself as a director of grown-up comedies: The Baxter (2005) is one of the few successful modern riffs on the screwball genre and something of a slept-on classic; Hello, My Name is Doris (2015) gives voice to infatuation and desire in a generation all but ignored in modern media; The Big Sick (2017) put Nanjiani (who co-wrote the screenplay) on the rocket-sled to stardom. So the movie has some bonafides and the hope of subverting the couple-in-peril comedy. It would be unfair to say it squanders its gifts but the material at the center of the piece

Maybe we shouldn’t reopen until we review how to dress in public.

The Lovebirds

may not deserve them.

Leilani (Rae) and Jibran (Nanjiani) are introduced in the easy, surprising, intoxicating first days of their relationship.

Smash cut to four years later and things aren’t so easy. Familiarity has bred ennui has bred contempt, and the two of them determine that they shouldn’t continue to be a couple while driving to a friend’s dinner party. But then they get carjacked, witness a vehicular homicide, flee the scene, determine that they should try to solve the case, get wrapped up in an elite sex cult and take another look at what their relationship really means.

Absent the chemistry and charisma of its stars, or Showalter’s competence behind the camera, I likely wouldn’t have even gotten this far in a discussion of this movie. It draws on long traditions (buddy comedies and all-in-one-night adventures among them) but the screenplay seems to have been treated more as a connectthe-dots opportunity for Rae and Nanjiani to embellish their characters than as a

complete work. The villains of the piece seem unintentionally underdeveloped and when one of them reveals his scheme to the protagonists in the third act, it feels more like the result of lazy necessity than it does a comment on the tropes of genre.

And while it establishes a modicum of individual aesthetic in the early going, by the end the movie looks a lot like a lot of others.

It’s still fun and funny, for the most part, but I couldn’t help but feel it had been disassembled and modified and reassembled so many times that it lost any cohesive sense of self. As a result, the stars look like they’re doing their best with something in which they aren’t fully invested. The emotional center feels hollow and, despite strong efforts all around, it undermines the comedy as well as the drama. R. 87M. NETFLIX. ● John J.

ASTROLOGY

Free Will Astrology Week of May 28, 2020

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: What’s the story or song that provides you with your greatest consolation? FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The best of my nature reveals itself in play, and play is sacred,” wrote the feisty Aries author Karen Blixen, who sometimes used the pen name Isak Dinesen.

The attitude described in that statement helps illuminate the meaning of another one of her famous quotations: “I do not think that I could ever really love a woman who had not, at one time or another, been up on a broomstick.” In my interpretation of this humorous remark, Blixen referred to the fact that she had a strong preference for witchy women with rascally magical ways. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because I’m inviting you to cultivate a Blixen-like streak of sacred play and sly magic in the coming days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus music legend Willie Nelson has played the same guitar since 1969. He calls it “my horse,” and named it after Trigger, a famous horse in Hollywood films. Although Nelson still loves the tones that come from his instrument, it’s neither sleek nor elegant. It’s bruised with multiple stains and has a jagged gash near its sound hole. Some Tauruses want their useful things to be fine and beautiful, but not Willie. Having said that, I wonder if maybe he will finally change guitars sometime soon. For you Bulls, the coming months will be time to consider trading in an old horse for a new one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’ve got a message for you, courtesy of poet Lisel Mueller. I think her wisdom can help you thrive in the coming weeks. She writes, “The past pushed away, the future left unimagined, for the sake of the glorious, difficult, passionate present.” Of course, it’s always helpful for us to liberate ourselves from the oppressive thoughts of what once was in the past and what might be in the future. But it’ll be especially valuable for you to claim that superpower in the coming weeks. To the degree that you do, the present will be more glorious and passionate and not so difficult.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When Lewis Carroll’s fictional heroine Alice visits the exotic underground realm known as Wonderland, she encounters two odd men named Tweedledee and Tweedledum. The latter tells her, “You know very well you’re not real.” He’s implying that Alice is merely a character in the dream of a man who’s sleeping nearby. This upsets her.

“I am real!” she protests, and breaks into tears. Tweedledum presses on, insisting she’s just a phantom. Alice summons her courageous wisdom and thinks to herself, “I know they’re talking nonsense, and it’s foolish to cry about it.” I suspect you Cancerians may have to deal with people and influences that give you messages akin to those of Tweedledum. If that happens, be like Alice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “The less you fear, the more power you will have,” says the rapper known as 50 Cent. I agree with him. If you can dissolve even, say, 25 percent of your fear, your ability to do what you want will rise significantly, as will your influence and clout. But here’s the major riddle: How exactly can you dissolve your fear? My answers to that question would require far more room than I have in this horoscope.

But here’s the really good news, Leo: In the coming weeks, you will naturally have an abundance of good insights about to dissolve your own fear. Trust what your intuition tells you. And be receptive to clues that serendipity brings you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For his film Parasite, Virgo filmmaker Bong Joon-ho received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. In his natal horoscope, Joon-ho has Pluto conjunct his sun in Virgo, and during the time Parasite began to score major success, Saturn and Pluto were making a favorable transit to that powerful point in his chart. I’m expecting the next six months to be a time when you can make significant progress toward your own version of a Joon-ho style achievement. In what part of your

WORKSHOPS & CLASSES CARTOONS

life is that most likely to happen? Focus on it. Feed it. Love it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to seek out, seduce, and attract luck. To inspire you in this holy task, I’ll provide a prayer written by Hoodoo conjurer Stephanie Rose Bird: “O sweet luck, I call your name.

Luck with force and power to make change, walk with me and talk through me. With your help, all that can and should be will be!” If there are further invocations you’d like to add to hers, Libra, please do. The best way to ensure that good fortune will stream into your life is to have fun as you draw it to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio comedian John Cleese does solo work, but many of his successful films, albums, stage shows, and TV programs have arisen from joining forces with other comedians. “When you collaborate with someone else on something creative,” he testifies, “you get to places that you would never get to on your own.” I propose you make this your temporary motto, Scorpio. Whatever line of work or play you’re in, the coming weeks will offer opportunities to start getting involved in sterling synergies and symbioses. To overcome the potential limitations of social distancing, make creative use of Zoom and other online video conferencing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Wherever I am, let me never forget to distinguish want from need,” vows author Barbara Kingsolver. “Let me be a good animal,” she adds. That would be a stirring prayer to keep simmering at the forefront of your awareness in the next six weeks. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, you’ll be getting clear signals about the differences between your wants and needs. You will also discover effective strategies about how to satisfy them both in the post-pandemic world, and fine intuitions about which one to prioritize at any particular time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing some Chinese characters can be quite demanding. To make “biáng,” for example, which is used in the name for a certain kind of noodle, you must draw 58 separate strokes. This is a good metaphor for exactly what you should avoid in the coming weeks: spending too much time and devoting too much thought and getting wrapped up in too much complexity about trivial matters.

Your focus should instead be on simple, bold approaches that encourage you to be crisp and decisive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Singer-songwriter Jill Scott is strongly committed to her creative process. She tells us, “I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend’s house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.” My perspective: Scott’s level of devotion to the muse is too intense for my tastes. Personally, I would have taken the burger off the stove before fleeing the scene to record my good idea. What about you, Aquarius?

According to my analysis, you’re in a phase when creative ideas should flow even better than usual. Pay close attention. Be prepared to capture as much of that potentially life-altering stuff as possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): To protect ourselves and others from the pandemic, most of us have been spending more time than usual at home—often engaged in what amounts to enforced relaxation. For some of us, that has been a problem.

But I’m going to propose that it will be the opposite of a problem for you in the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, your words to live by will be this counsel from author and philosopher Mike Dooley: “What if it was your downtime, your lounging-in-bed-too-long time, that made possible your greatest achievements? Would they still make you feel guilty?

Or would you allow yourself to enjoy them?” ●

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.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
