Important Omission Editor: The article “Our Sovereign Right” (July 2) about the Trinidad Rancheria omits one important fact. Plans for the Rancheria’s hotel and expansion involve building a new interchange along U.S. Highway 101 just south of Trinidad. This proposed freeway interchange on Highway 101 will involve the widening of Westhaven Drive — the entire length of Westhaven Drive.

This will mean that dozens of residents along this road could lose their homes, since there is no room to widen the road without taking private property.

Caltrans has already made preliminary plans. Go to the Trinidad Rancheria’s website www.trinidad-rancheria.org and click on “US101 PSR PDS Trinidad Access Project.”

‘The Biggest Challenge’ Editor: I read your article and found it informative. I have been an absentee voter in California for years. The state and county election officials need to be sure they have verified: 1. That you are who you say you are, and 2. That you are a citizen of the U.S. I have been disappointed by the answers given when I asked officials how they went about this. They say, “We take their word for it” and that there is a penalty for lying. That’s it. Apparently no research or checking is involved. This is a major potential problem in California, given the number of non-citizens residing within the state. Some big changes need to be made in regard to this issue.

To state that there have been few instances of ballot fraud in the past does not necessarily accurately predict the same for the future. There is tremendous unrest within the country and, if you be-

lieve the news, there are many who want to disrupt the normal way things are done in favor of their own agenda.

I support law and order, fairness and liberty for all.

Emergency in the ER Editor: On Sunday, July 14, at 11 p.m. I needed to go to the emergency room over possible heart issues. I chose to go to Mad River Hospital ER and that was a mistake on my part.

It was a busy night. Because my triage put me low on the priority list, I had to wait. The waiting room allowed no possibility for social distancing. Also six people wore no masks and were moving around the waiting room. One little girl took off her mask to sneeze 4 feet away from me.

I mostly had to wait out in the cold since I felt unsafe, being an elder with possible heart issues. The toilets were filthy and nobody cleaned the chairs after people left. Also there was no security guard and there were altercations with people on drugs that the staff were dealing with. It was very scary.

Other than bringing people into the ER, nobody monitored the people waiting. I expected to feel guarded from COVID-19 transmissions. As I understand it, Mad River has laid off many staff members and frankly, they have no business running an ER this way. After three hours mostly sitting outside in the cold, I left because my experience was very stressful and I take the pandemic seriously.

Reminded me ...

By Gregory Downing views@northcoastjournal.com

am here where I live near to that place known to those here before and to them for forever as the center of the world those of us here who can see in George Floyd’s color and because of his color his last breath taken in such a way, ourselves, ourselves and our brothers and fathers sons and friends, those of us black here, men, we are a small number we are a small number so to see that black people were not a large part of those protesting George Floyds’ murder here it was not surprising to me, I didn’t know it was occurring don’t know I would have gone if I’d known, many reasons why in such an isolated place in such a small place black people may not show up in force, even again hearts’broken what surprised me and it surprised me as I watched video after video posted by the reporter for NCJ was the vehemence and emotion with which the people there chanted Black Lives Matter!!! this group of near 500 people the vast majority of them white, that number in itself hard to reconcile this place home to few relatively speaking I listened as I watched, hearing that first time it chanted,

the call then response and I felt no embarrassment for them in their saying I felt no lie, no weakness at the bottom, hollow tone, stammer, I felt no embarrassment and so felt none for them as the rain poured down this crowd of 500 men and women and children, the vast majority of them white people but made up of all it seemed those who make up this community here near the place once known by all living round for thousands of years as the Center of the world it didn’t take me very long before feeling proud of them was the feeling I recognized was what I was experiencing I was proud, unable to doubt their sincerity willing to continue this they did from early evening deep into the night rain pouring covering what ground they would, taking over the main thruway one way thru town both ways and side roads, over hours of time, the rain pouring down I could not help but see that at least these, at least these, could see black life as life could see black life as life, no less valuable than other life could see black man as man

allowing me to let go of my frustration with Blue lives mattering and all ... they understood, allowed me my accepting my understanding and they took every minute available to say that Sunday, that early evening thru to after midnight, some, and were allowed to, unorthodox as their protesting was and as in the face of authority as it was to say that and to say it was wrong, what was done to George Floyd it was for this reason I decided to make this place my home, thirty years ago now, got here and could see despite hatred straightforward and blatant and its other side what’s accepted as caring for all, to be proud of, the borders and barriers firmly in place plainly seen and pointed out, for those unaware that Truth lived here, resonating, needful to be for me somewhere felt it in the air soon after arriving, felt it again strong like it used to be watching those walking their way to saying I see in myself that man, dead there, killed by one representing our government blatantly murdered while those like me could do nothing but stand there, frozen in place by others badged and gunned, fearful

I see my father, my brother, my husband, my son, my friend, that life taken that way that day I can’t see its difference, mine it’s wrong

... and shocking ... somehow doesn’t say enough for them, as it doesn’t for me as statement from the one representing to us and the rest of the world the city on the hill we’re supposed to be the LIGHT of the world, it’s hope Not us Where the light?

Not us, where the light? from shocking to shooting, no empathetic understanding some place there in between like that of these 500 our president can’t see, like the governor of Mississippi, like the governor of Mississippi, reason for much comment, not much done wrong until the burning and looting America uncaring while all the bullies around the world do what they will to their George Floyds, where from comes the light?

of Logan and Kakun and RJ and the ladies loving, the music, the continual from Club West to the Ritz to the Backstage to the club on the Bay thru the streets movement, people the drums beating thru the night on Arcata plaza the drums beating and Don’s

that I am a man who’s black some of this day to day, me, I can accept that they showed me and I think anyone able to see, that they saw a man who was black, murdered and it mattered to them there is no question for me that the Light is not coming from the White House, making it plainly known for his reasons so that we cannot mistakenly think it’s there somewhere for now instead of dwelling deeper into my knowing the darkness enveloping, I will spend more time inside myself in the LIGHT!! seen again, here reminiscent in its way of back in the day

of reggae at the Jambalaya of Bishop at the Ritz of a spirit shield for 70 dollars made for me on lambskin white and unblemished, feathers blue and brown and grey hanging along the sides dolphins jumping in the air and waves and at its center the dove, reminded me of those days

reminded me of the people who sent to the state capital steps a cross on wheels, that said JESUS SAID SHELTER THE HOMELESS, reminded me of that of fire in the firepit and music they reminded me of that of those days of those people feels good to be reminded of those days thank you for reminding me of why I came back here that time back then and reminding me that sometimes it’s me thank you for caring, for understanding there’s something about this place something about this place

Hundreds of HumCo Businesses Got PPP Funds

A

n across-the-board collection of more than 200 Humboldt County companies and nonprofits were among the recipients of a federal loan program meant to help small businesses keep employees on the payroll amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data from the Small Business Administration.

The information, which was sorted

by Humboldt County ZIP codes, shows millions of dollars flowed into a wide spectrum of the local economy — from casinos and healthcare providers to grocery stores and construction companies — under the Paycheck Protection Program, which was created in March under the CARES Act. Combined, recipients stretching from Trinidad to Garberville self-reported retaining around 9,500 jobs Locally, more than half of the loans were for amounts between $150,000 to $350,000, nearly 70 in the $350,000-to$1-million range, less than 20 were for $1 million to $2 million, a handful for $2 million to $5 million and two — going to Mercer-Fraser Co. and Mad River Community Hospital — were listed as being between $5 million and $10 million.

California received $68 billion of the funds, with the largest loan amount — $5 million to $10 million — going to 647

businesses in the state, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Released this week under mounting political pressure and Freedom of Information Act lawsuits from media organizations, the data only includes loans of more than $150,000 and is listed by amount ranges, not exact figures.

Under the program, small businesses — generally those with fewer than 500 employees — were able to apply for the funding. If certain criteria are met, the loans can be forgiven.

The SBA databases lists Bear River Casino, George Petersen Insurance Agency, Lodestone Pacific Holding Co. Inc. (formerly Eureka Ready-Mix, Customer Truck Service and Eureka Truck Lines), the Sun Valley Group and United Indian Health Services as being in the second highest category.

The $1 million to $2 million range saw a variety of entities, including Hospice of Humboldt, the North Coast Co-op, Kokatat, O&M Industries, the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria, the Humboldt State University Center Board of Directors, DANCO Builders and the Southern Humboldt Community Healthcare District.

Che-Ae Heights Casino and Blue Lake Casino were also recipients in the category.

Movie Theaters Open: Local movie theaters got the green light to reopen with county approved plans beginning July 3, but not all were ready to make the leap. While Broadway and Mill Creek cinemas opened their doors to modifed operations, the locally owned Minor, as well as the Fortuna Thater, have opted to stay shuttered for the time being.

including the North Coast Journal and Lost Coast Communications, among the recipients.

The initial rollout of the program faced criticism over the number of large corporations that received loans ostensibly meant to protect the small businesses that are the backbone of local communities.

Amid the backlash, changes were made to the program in an effort to better benefit smaller operations and the application date has been extended to Aug. 8.

Faith and Fever

Humboldt churches ponder reopening

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Humboldt County Joint Information Center recently released safety guidelines for places of worship that wish to resume services. Churches are among the latest venues approved for reopening by the county, and they are encouraged but “not required” to submit reopening plans to the Emergency Operations Center.

Local congregations have had diverse responses to the news, and some have embraced creative approaches to demonstrating faith during the pandemic.

Some places of worship, including the Humboldt Universal Unitarian Church and the Temple Beth El synagogue, remain closed to the public, choosing instead to broadcast services online through Zoom or Facebook Live. Others, such as the First Presbyterian Church of Eureka, plan to reopen later in the month after months of online-only services. (The announcement was made via the church’s Facebook page, which bears the logo of a facemask with a quote from Philippians 2:3, “But in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.”) In Arcata, St. Mary’s Catholic Church held its first outdoor mass June 7.

Faith services, which often involve activities considered to be high risk for disease transmission such as large indoor gatherings, group singing, and touching or kissing mutual objects (collection plates, communion cups) have been linked to rapid spread of the coronavirus. According to a case study by the Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention, in March 38 percent of attendees of a rural church in Arkansas developed COVID-19 and three people died. Congregants went on to spread the disease to 26 other people in the community, contributing to the death of one additional person. Closer to home, six cases in Mendocino County were linked to a Mother’s Day service at the Assembly of God Church in Redwood Valley.

Pastor Matt Lemen disinfecting seats at Faith Center Foursquare Church.

The county of Humboldt’s website encourages religious leaders to follow state guidelines for reducing virus transmission, including limiting attendance to 25 percent of capacity or 100 people, whichever is lower. Churches are also encouraged to shorten services and hold them outside whenever possible, as well as follow social distancing protocol and “consider limiting touching for religious and/or cultural purposes, such as holding hands, to members of the same household.”

On June 29 Executive Pastor Matt Lemen of Faith Center Foursquare Church appeared in an informational video along with Samantha Karges, a spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff ’s Office, to discuss his flock’s adaptation to the times.

Among the changes he demonstrated were grouping the congregants’ chairs together in “pods” that allowed families to sit together, 6 feet apart. The church has trained staff and volunteers to help identify symptoms, screen for fever using forehead thermometers and disinfect the sanctuary between services and is distributing self-serve communion cups that look like coffee pods.

In the video, Karges outlines other steps faith centers can take to be COVIDsafe, including marking designated places where people might touch their foreheads to the floor in worship and modifying chants or songs.

Pastor Matt Messner also appears in the video to talk about the church’s decision to return to semi-traditional services saying, “We believe meeting in person meets a need that is important at this time.”

Roger Williams, pastor of Eureka Seventh Day Adventist Church, said his church’s leadership has decided to hold off on indoor services, continuing instead “drive in” worship at the church’s parking lot, during which there are announcements and a 45-minute service.

“We’re pretty strict on the time be-

cause restroom facilities are not available,” he says. “We don’t want people running stoplights on the way home.”

Williams adds that the Adventist leadership has given guidance for all the churches under its umbrella while asking pastors to follow local guidelines. The church does not plan to open the sanctuary to the congregation at this time, only allowing those directly involved in planning the service to come inside and access equipment. He said the outdoor service has been a “smooth adaptation,” but it’s also a far cry from the feeling of a normal Saturday morning ceremony.

“The idea of worship and coming together in any dynamic worship service is curtailed by social distancing and masks,” says Williams. “There’s something dynamic about fellowship. We come together, worship together. We’re social beings. Social distancing flies in the face of that.”

But Williams says the safety recommendations have allowed church members to be more creative in worship and in some ways stronger in faith.

“I’ve always been of the belief that that church never closes,” he says. “The body of the people make up the church. We’ve been able to reexamine who we are as the church as opposed to where we are in the church. Social distancing flies in the face of Christian fellowship. However, in a responsible understanding of the gospel, we would not want to compromise anyone health-wise. I’m in no hurry to return to indoor worship.”

Instead, he said he’s encouraging congregants to continue to attend and stay in their cars.

“They didn’t teach me this one in seminary,” he says. ● Editor’s note: This story was first published July 4 at www.northcoastjournal.com.

Shooting Stuns Blue Lake

humboldtlastweek.com

Popular gas station attendant arrested after allegedly shooting robbery suspect

By Ashley Harrell

A

ashley@northcoastjournal.com t around 9:45 p.m. on July 2 in Blue Lake, an attendant allegedly shot a man who was attempting to rob the Patriot Gas Station, according to the Humboldt County Sheriff ’s Office, in a case that has spawned Gofundme pages for the accused and questions of self defense.

The alleged robber — who has yet to be identified — died from a gunshot wound at the scene. The gas station attendant — Mark Anthony Nelson Jr. — was later arrested on suspicion of murder.

The incident began at around 9:40 p.m., police said, when a man allegedly brandishing a firearm approached Nelson and a patron outside of the gas station. As Nelson and the customer fled, according to the press release, the alleged robber entered the store and stole cash and other items.

“Investigators believe that as the man exited the business, the employee, later identified as 39-year-old Mark Anthony Nelson Jr., approached the subject and

shot him,” police said. “A stolen firearm believed to be associated with the homicide was recovered at the scene.”

Nelson was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of murder, possessing stolen property and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, according to the Sheriff ’s Office. He is being held without bail pending arraignment and the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office will review the case and decide what charges — if any — are appropriate. (As the Journal went to press, District Attorney Maggie Fleming said she still had not received reports in the case needed to make a charging decision.)

The NCJ reached out to the Sheriff ’s Office to ask whether the shooting could have been considered self defense and spokesperson Samantha Karges said the investigators considered all available evidence in making their charging requests, though she declined to get into details of the investigation.

footage and statements collected on scene, including from Mr. Nelson himself, investigators have requested the P.C. 187 charge,” she wrote in an email to the Journal, referencing the penal code section for murder. “However this case, as with all cases, is being forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review and filing of charges. The DA’s Office will review the case and if they feel that a murder charge is not substantiated, then the office could decide not to file on that charge.” California Penal Code 198.5,

known as the “Castle Doctrine,” allows someone to use force — even deadly force, in some instances — to protect their home or place of business from immediate threat and there is no duty to retreat. However, the law does not allow someone to retreat to a place of safety and then use deadly force, or to use a level of force disproportionate to the immediate threat.

One neighbor who performed CPR on the dying man says police did not do enough to save his life.

Local musician Chris “Turtle” Bondy was in his pajamas at his home when he heard the gunshot, and says he knew immediately that it had come from the Patriot across the street. Bondy says his first thought was, “I hope Mark’s OK.” Bondy says he left his home and hid in a dark area outside, assessing the scene at the gas station. The parking lot was empty except for a man lying on the ground, he says. Even from across the street, Bondy could tell the man was bleeding.

A former “forest activist,” Bondy says he was once trained as a first responder and EMT. As he approached to help the wounded man, other people showed up, too — Nelson was there, Bondy remembers, along with a neighbor and a store patron.

“The other neighbor and I went to the victim, rolled him over and applied pressure to the wound,” Bondy says. “We were doing our best to keep him alive with CPR chest compressions.”

The color in the man’s face was fading, Bondy remembers, and he wasn’t talking, but his eyes were responsive. Beneath the man, blood was pooling and there was cash everywhere.

“Mark picked up the money and put it back inside the store,” Bondy says.

The men continued performing CPR until two Sheriff ’s Office cars arrived, Bondy says. The deputies emerged from their vehicles with weapons drawn, “held us at gunpoint on the ground and did nothing to help the guy who was dying.”

In all, four men including Bondy were handcuffed and detained by police, Bondy says. And he says that only after what felt like several minutes passed did one of the deputies suggest resuming CPR. A deputy did perform CPR at that point, according to Bondy, and “[police] started combing the area ... looking for the shooter.” At the time, Bondy and the others believed that an unknown shooter had escaped, Bondy says. Minutes later, volunteer firefighters showed up and took over the life-saving efforts, Bondy remembers, but the alleged robber died shortly thereafter.

The neighbor who helped Bondy perform CPR later identified himself to the Lost Coast Outpost as Charles Smart. Smart told LoCO that responding deputies did their jobs as well as they could have, and the victim could not have been saved.

Bondy, however, feels the deputies’

efforts to help the gunshot victim fell short. “If you’re gonna pull someone off who is trying to keep someone alive, you better step up,” he said. “Minutes matter.”

When Bondy found out the following day that Nelson had been arrested for the shooting, he was shocked.

“Mark is a great person,” he says.

“Always a smile on his face and always pleasantly sociable.”

Patriot Gas Station owner Gurpreet Sohal says Nelson is “a nice guy, and the hardest worker, too.”

He’s not sure why Nelson allegedly took it upon himself to stop the robbery.

Just last month, after some teenagers robbed the station, Sohal says he told all of his employees: “Don’t fight. Give them the money and let them get away. At the end of the day, it’s only a couple hundred dollars.”

Sohal was aware that Nelson had a criminal history but didn’t know the specifics. Back in 2011, Nelson was sentenced to a six-year, four-month prison term over a bizarre road rage incident in which he shot a woman while driving down Eureka’s H Street after she repeatedly rammed his vehicle with hers.

“Maybe [Nelson] has made bad choices,” Sohal says. “But he was trying to get his life together.” ●

Humboldt County’s COVID-19 case count continues to climb

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt County’s Joint Information Center had planned to close for the county holiday on July 3, a move that would save overtime expenses and give most of its employees three consecutive days off for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic breached the Redwood Curtain. Then came the test results.

The number of local cases had already been spiking over the course of a couple weeks when the latest batch of results came in on the eve of the holiday weekend with six new confirmed cases — a single-day tally eclipsed on just three occasions since the county began reporting test results March 16. Officials gathered a few staff members and put together a brief press release to make the public aware of the results and note that roughly a quarter of the county’s cases to that point had been recorded over the previous two weeks. About a week earlier, having watched California’s caseload balloon in alarming fashion with thousands of new cases reported on a daily basis mirroring a national trend, Humboldt County Health Officer Teresa Frankovich issued a pleading message to the community warning the county was at a “crossroads.”

She added a couple of quotes to the July

12

3 press release urging residents to behave responsibly over the holiday weekend and to put community over revelry and the temptation to gather with friends and family.

“This (recent case spike) has been driven largely by residents gathering and visiting between households both locally and while traveling, as well as by illness occurring in the cannabis industry workforce,” she said in the release. “In order to avoid having Humboldt County become yet one more COVID-19 hotspot in the state, prevention is key. It is still within our power to change the course of this pandemic.”

Did local residents heed the warning?

We won’t know for at least a few weeks, and that’s one of things about this virus and current testing capacity that confounds health officials trying to get the public to exercise restraint and caution. It’s often said COVID-19 test results are just a snapshot in time — just a measure of whether someone is infected at the moment they are tested, giving no indication whether they’d previously been sick or would catch the virus in the future. What’s talked about less is the fact that the results are a snapshot back in time, giving more insight into conditions two or or

three weeks ago than the current state of things. That’s because the virus’ incubation period is believed to extend up to 14 days and — as infection rates spike throughout the state and country — national testing laboratories are facing increasing backlogs and slowing the turnaround times for results to a week or more.

The best local example of this delay came when, five days after Frankovich issued a shelter-in-place order confining residents to their homes except for essential outings, Public Health confirmed two new cases on March 24, kicking off a streak that would ultimately see 48 cases confirmed over a 15-day period. That spike was followed by a lengthy lull as the impacts of shelter in place finally began to show up in the testing data, with just five cases confirmed over the ensuing month.

Speaking to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on July 7, Frankovich said it takes at least two weeks for test results to begin reflecting a surge in virus transmission but she believes it’s generally longer than that.

“Much of what we’re seeing now dates back to around Memorial Day — I think that’s when people started emerging.

COVID can circulate in small numbers really sneakily,” she said, before turning her

attention to when the conduct of local residents over the July 4 weekend might be reflected in test results. “It may take six, even 10 weeks before we see the full impact.”

Clusters As Humboldt County’s COVID-19 case count continues to rise — five confirmed cases July 6 and five more as the Journal went to press July 7, bringing the countywide tally to 154 — officials are gaining a better understanding of how it is circulating. Highly infectious indoors, COVID-19 moves in household clusters, said Deputy Public Health Officer Josh Ennis. Someone will bring the virus home, and soon it will have infected everyone within a household.

“This disease travels in clusters,” he said during a July 2 media availability. “Something like 80 percent of all cases are in household, where people share indoor spaces for prolonged periods of time.

But all it takes is one of those people to have contact with someone in a different household and all of a sudden it jumps from one household to another entire household.”

While the current case spike that has

seen 46 cases confirmed locally since June 19 coincides with sectors of local businesses being cleared to re-open in modified capacities, Frankovich has repeatedly said contact investigations have traced infections back to social gatherings — family members or friends from different households getting together for barbecues, birthday parties or other events. In some cases, she said, travel has been involved, with someone carrying the virus into Humboldt County for a visit with a local household or a local traveling somewhere else, contracting the virus and bringing it back to their household. But gatherings are the nexus that connects one household cluster to another.

When asked by a reporter in a recent media availability about direct flights between the local airport and Los Angeles resuming July 6, Frankovich’s responded that travel has long been a concern of health officials but quickly noted that far more people enter and leave Humboldt County by car than plane. Then she offered what seemed a cold truth for people looking to blame local infection rates on outside forces.

“Infections in our community have been our own residents leaving and coming back to the area. It hasn’t been tourism.”

“To date, the drivers of travel-acquired infections in our community have been our own residents leaving and coming back to the area. It hasn’t been tourism,” she said.

Later addressing the board, Frankovich offered: “The moral of the story right now is, as much as we want to, it’s not the time to be traveling. We also can’t be socializing with other households and certainly not indoors.”

But the further Humboldt County residents emerge from the spirit of shelter in place, the more officials warn of the potential for mass spread events that expose large groups of people to the virus before

sending them back to their households.

Speaking to the board, Frankovich and Sheriff William Honsal both said they’ve received reports of weddings and private parties planned in the near future, some with hundreds of guests invited. Frankovich explained that such events are incredibly dangerous at this point because they could quickly overwhelm local capacity to isolate the virus.

Contact investigations — in which trained Public Health investigators work backward from a confirmed case to identify everyone a person has had contact with since becoming infectious and putting them in quarantine before they can unwittingly spread the virus to others — have been crucial in limiting COVID’s spread locally, officials say. But a scenario that sees a high number of people exposed at once — say 100 at a wedding — could quickly overwhelm Public Health’s capacity to find and isolate those carrying the virus, leading to a period of unchecked spread or a shutdown.

“Gatherings like that are really not allowed under state orders or local orders,” Frankovich said. “I just want to remind people about that.”

‘Hugely Problematic’ When Humboldt County’s OptumServe testing site opened to the public in May, it was heralded as a great success as the first such site to open in the state. The site allows locals experiencing mild or no COVID-19 symptoms to schedule an appointment to have a sample taken, which is then sent to a corporate laboratory for processing.

Initially, those labs were turning around tests results within 48 to 72 hours. But as caseloads have spiked throughout the state and country in recent weeks, and testing has ramped up, the laboratories have become overwhelmed, causing supply chain shortages and testing backlogs.

Describing the situation as “hugely problematic,” Frankovich said it now sometimes takes the labs up to eight days to report the results from samples taken in Humboldt County.

“Nobody wants to find out six days after they were tested that they are positive,” she said, later telling the board it’s “really imperative that we find some other (testing) solutions.”

The slow turnaround times for a positive test greatly hamper contact tracing investigations and increase the chances for spreading the virus, she explained. After all, if it takes eight days to get a positive result instead of two, that’s six days’ worth of potential contacts investigators have to track down and interview, which adds up

“Nobody wants to find out six days after they were tested that they are positive” quickly when spread over dozens of cases.

During the July 7 board meeting, First District Supervisor Rex Bohn suggested the county’s new dashboard display the number of active cases — not just the total recorded to date. While the total — 149 at the time of the meeting — seemed like bad news, he suggested the number of active cases — 13 — could be seen as more positive.

“I’m kind of trying to put a little bit of positives out there,” he said.

But Frankovich responded that the low number of active cases, when gauged against the spike in positive cases reported recently, isn’t really a good sign. Instead, she said, it speaks to the testing delays and the fact that the county is currently identifying cases after people have already been sick for some time, meaning they may “recover” sooner but have also potentially been spreading the virus longer.

“The earlier we are able to identify cases, the more active are active,” she said.

“In general, I would rather have our active case list higher because it would suggest we are catching cases earlier.”

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 9, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

Kids and Schools When looking through the dashboard of COVID-19 case data, there is one area in which Humboldt County seems a clear outlier: infection rates among children.

Children under the age of 18 make up just 7 percent of confirmed COVID-19 cases nationally and just 8 percent statewide.

But 12 percent of Humboldt County’s cases have been confirmed in people under the age of 19. (It’s unclear why the county went with 19 and under as opposed to 18 and under.)

Frankovich said it’s been a bit of a mystery how much COVID-19 is circulating through child populations. While 58 children have died nationally of COVID-19, data and numerous studies have so far indicated children are much less likely to become critically ill with the disease and more likely to experience minor or no symptoms. Especially in the United States, that means they have been much less likely to get tested, so she suspects the lower national and state numbers simply reflect that not many children have been tested.

But Humboldt County, she said, has been conducting contact investigations and had the capacity to test entire households from the beginning, to which she attributed the higher rate in the under-19 population.

“The vast majority of these cases, perhaps all of them, have been contacts of known cases,” she said. “So they’ve come to testing and identification because we are making a really concerted effort to test even those without symptoms in households of people who are identified as cases. I think that really, in our population, explains why we’re seeing that higher number in that age group.”

What exactly that means remains unclear. While to date children have been much less likely to get seriously ill, the long-term impacts of the new disease are unclear. While initially thought to be solely a respiratory disease, there’s a growing body of evidence to suggest it’s much more than that and, in some cases, attacks the kidneys, brain, heart and liver. It has also been confirmed to lead to a rare Continued on page 16 »

life-threatening inflammatory syndrome in children, leading to hospitalizations with wide ranging symptoms that include swelling, rashes, fever and abdominal pain. But confirmed cases of children hospitalized with COVID-19 remain rare — California had seen just 143 of them as the Journal went to press. But how children contribute to the spread of the virus and remains largely unclear.

Frankovich told the board July 6 she’s been in ongoing discussions with local school districts for weeks now about how they might be able to re-open in the fall under guidelines released by the California Department of Public Health, the state Department of Education and even the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“Everyone’s goal is getting kids back in school,” she said.

But nobody’s quite sure what that will look like. To some extent it will depend on conditions in the greater community, as Frankovich intoned when she warned that a lack of personal responsibility now — whether it be socializing outside the household unit or traveling — could imperil schools’ ability to open in the fall.

But it will also depend on Humboldt’s dozens of schools coming up with site specific plans to have students on campus next year in a way that’s safe for them, their families and school staffs.

According to the Humboldt County Office of Education, no local districts have yet publicly committed to a plan of what instruction will look like in the fall.

Instead, they are trying to proactively plan for three options: entirely distance learning, entirely in-person instruction or a hybrid model. Tentative hybrid plans have included the possibility of splitting classes into two separate schedules to limit the number of children in a classroom at one time, whether that means some students attending in-person class in the morning and others the afternoon, or students attending school on different days. And individual districts are working to determine whether they can come up with plans that conform to state guidelines, which include everything from screening students before they step onto campus to maintaining social distancing in classrooms.

Humboldt County Office of Education spokesperson Jenny Bowen said HCOE is working with local districts as they plan to implement one of three options in the fall.

“There are still unknowns and we have no way of determining what the fall will really look like,” she wrote in an email to the Journal.

‘Personal Responsibility’ On July 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that counties in California that land on a statewide monitoring list for three days or more will need to step back from reopening sectors of the economy, shuttering bars and movie theaters, and forcing restaurants to close to dine-in customers, among other things. It’s an action the state has taken with 19 counties so far.

The monitoring list aims to track when cases are growing out of control in a given county, with increased rates of hospitalizations that threaten hospital capacity.

Humboldt County has yet to make the list for even a single day, though Frankovich told supervisors that the rate of recent case growth could get us there in time. Currently, healthcare capacity isn’t threatened but in a small community with a limited number of intensive care unit beds, that could change quickly, and the health officer cautioned it’s important for people to understand the pattern of the virus: First comes a spike in confirmed cases, then an increase in hospitalizations and, finally, a rise in death tolls.

Stressing that she feels Humboldt County is on the precipice — at a “crossroads,” as she put it — she stressed the need for personal responsibility going forward, saying people need to stick to their households and when they do go out, mask up, wash their hands and maintain 6 feet of physical distancing. Everyone is tiring of sheltering in place, she said, and we all want to visit family and friends.

But that’s what drives this virus, she said, noting that the more the virus spreads, the greater the chances of it hitting those most at risk.

“There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of what is driving our increases going forward is gatherings,” she said. “As much as I hate to say it, we really, really need people to limit those gatherings outside their household unit. It won’t be forever but it’s important now. … While the large gatherings are particularly problematic and worrisome to the community, what we’re seeing right now are a lot of smaller gatherings. It’s 10 to 20 people at birthday parties, barbecues and things like that, each of those generating additional cases and quarantined people who are exposed.

We just really need to limit these activities right now.

“It should be your household unit and you outdoors doing all the things we love, just not with other families right now.” l

he summer sun still shines brightly as it does every summer but this year is missing the sound of children laughing at the playground. Although I can hear the fireworks popping now and then, they are not as festive as they used to be. We are all experiencing this new lifestyle together and we all try to make the best of it. Since shelter in place began in March, I’ve found baking brightens my days.

Lately my friends and neighbors have been sharing their homegrown herbs, cherries, lemons, rhubarb, blueberries and blackberries with us. I am filled with so much joy when I bake pies, scones, cakes and tarts to be shared at home or given away, sometimes with the people who brought me the fruits and herbs they’re made of. Food brings people together (6 feet apart) during this heavy time. This week I made blueberry and blackberry tarts using the same basic recipe; both turned out lovely. With the refreshing, cool taste of berries, lemon and rose, it’s delicious on a warm day. There are local blueberry farms with plenty of bushes to pick from and wild blackberries are abundant on the vine, waiting to be picked soon. We can still get out to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, share something sweet and stay healthy.

Blackberry Rose Tart For 10-inch tart pan. If you do not want the rose flavor, skip the rose syrup and petals by adding 1/2 cup of maple syrup instead.

For the crust: 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup almond flour ¾ cup powdered sugar 1 ½ stick (6 ounces) salted butter, melted but not hot For the filling: 4 cups blackberries, rinsed 1 cup white sugar 1 cup coconut cream ¼ cup rose syrup ½ cup fresh backyard rose petals (optional; make sure they have not been treated with pesticide) 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 envelopes plain Knox gelatin ½ cup cold water Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 325 F. To make the crust: Mix both flours and the powdered sugar together, stir in the butter and gently mix well to form dough.

Press the dough into a well-greased tart pan. Cover the dough with parchment paper and place pie weights (or dried beans or rice) on top so the crust doesn’t puff up.

Bake until lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the pie weights and parchment paper before baking another 10 min until golden brown. Set the crust aside to cool on a wire rack.

Put the berries in a blender and pulse until only small chunks remain. Pour the blended berries in a medium saucepan and add the sugar, coconut cream, rose syrup, petals, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir and boil the mixture for 5 minutes, then simmer for 10 minutes.

While the berry mixture cooks, mix the gelatin and water in a separate bowl. Let the gelatin bloom for 10 minutes, then add it to the berry mixture. Mix well. Strain the berry mixture if you want a smoother texture.

Pour the filling into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with berries and edible flowers if you’re feeling fancy and enjoy. ● You can find Home Cooking with Wendy Chan classes benefitting local charities on Facebook. She prefers she/her.

Stone Lagoon in clearer weather.

Alone in the Fog

A swimming scare on Stone Lagoon

By Louisa Rogers

getout@northcoastjournal.com

I

could feel bubbles of panic on the edges of my mind but I forced myself to concentrate on my breaststroke. Arms parting, arms parting. Focus.

I knew if I started worrying about hypothermia, exhaustion or the cramping in my right leg, panic would cause me to shake or flail.

Focus. Focus.

Ten years ago, I began a practice of swimming in Humboldt Bay. Humboldt Baykeeper, the nonprofit that monitors the health of our waters, had assured me it was clean enough to swim in. After all, the bay hosts the largest oyster crop in California, along with seals and sea lions. So I stopped driving to Arcata to swim, bought a shorty wetsuit and booties, and started clambering off the C Street dock into the water several mornings a week.

A few months later, I heard about a group of swimmers who drove to Stone Lagoon to swim on Wednesdays. One chilly, gray March morning, I met three other women, all strangers to me, at Wildberries to carpool.

At the lagoon, we stood at the edge of the boat ramp looking out. All I could see was water and a few vague, far-off shapes in the mist.

I remember one of the women, a competitive triathlete, saying with a slight shudder, “It’s always bracing!” Then we were off.

Well, they were off. Within 30 seconds, I could barely glimpse them through the thick fog. I followed — or thought I followed. “I’ll see them on their return and swim back with them,” I thought.

It seemed a long way to the other side. I didn’t know Stone Lagoon back then, having never swum or paddled in it before. I had stopped at the parking area driving back from Crescent City but barely looked at the water.

I kept going and going until I started seeing bits of vegetation emerge in the mist, and

finally touched ground at what I assumed was the far shore. I paused and took stock.

Would I be better off returning by hugging the shoreline? I guessed that would take a lot longer. No, better to go back the way I came — surely I’d run into the others somewhere en route.

I began swimming back. Somewhere in the middle of what seemed a vast body of water, I started to feel very small and very alone.

Looking left, I saw water but no shoreline.

Looking right, fog. Straight ahead, fog. I tried calling loudly a few times. “Hello,” I shouted.

“Anyone there? … Hello?” Nothing.

“Just keep going,” I told myself. Arms parting, arms parting. My mantra. Don’t think of anything else. Focus.

As I slowly neared the shore, the fog thinned and I could make out what looked like thicket. It still seemed far and it was taking a lot of time. I wanted to get there so badly.

Finally I tested with my foot and felt the relief of squishy ground. I could stand.

But there was no boat ramp. Where was I? My hunch told me to head south, so I swam and crawled in that direction, and in about 10 minutes glimpsed the vague outline of a structure, and then, minutes later, the ramp.

Two of the women were standing there, one in her wetsuit, about to head out to look for me. “We were so worried,” said the driver.

They had been waiting about 25 minutes. The third woman had hitchhiked back into town in order to make jury duty.

As we drove back, I sat in the passenger seat trying to warm up while the driver talked.

I listened, fighting tears and still shivering after the adrenaline rush, the fear I could not let myself feel while swimming, now teeming out of every cell in my body. “Uh huh. Uh huh,” I repeated, not wanting to break down in front of these strangers. It wasn’t the first time I

responded that way in a traumatic situation — I simply act with decisiveness and focus. It’s only after the danger has passed that feelings surface and pour out, uncontained.

Perversely, in retrospect, my main reaction in the car was embarrassment at getting lost, holding everyone up and forcing the other woman to hitchhike into town. I avoided turning my head and making eye contact with the woman seated in the back, staring instead at the Patrick’s Point and Trinidad exits as though they were objects of great fascination.

In Arcata, I had an appointment to meet with a colleague. Looking back, having kept the date is one of the most surreal aspects of that whole bizarre morning. During the halfhour wait before our meeting, I wandered around the aisles at Wildberries, disoriented and spacey. Now I wonder why I didn’t cancel the meeting after I called my husband, who urged me to come home.

When I did get back, he was furious, as was my sister, a former lifeguard and swimming instructor, when I called her. “How could they abandon you?” they both asked.

A flurry of emails followed from the driver, the only one I ever heard from. “I really hope the foggy experience didn’t turn you off of lagoon swimming! Please accept my apologies for not being more vigilant about your first swim with us. I should have given you more direction, particularly because of the fog.” She was very kind.

“Oh, I will come back and swim again!” I emailed back cheerily.

But I never did. I have never seen any of those swimmers since.

Now, 10 years later, I love paddling on my stand up paddle board in Stone Lagoon, the contours of which I’ve since become familiar with. But every time I’m on the lagoon, even if I’m laughing as the ducks play, a moment arrives when I suddenly remember the chilly, misty day I felt utterly alone, and I shiver all over again.

Safety Tips

I made several potentially hazardous errors on my first lagoon swim but I did instinctively follow the first and arguably most important safety rule: 1. Stay calm.

2. Always swim with a partner.

3. Know your surroundings. If you don’t know the area, swim along the shore only.

4. Check the weather conditions before you go.

5. Wear a wetsuit and other appropriate swim gear to avoid hypothermia.

6. Carry a waterproof whistle.

Resourceful People 7500 and The Vast of Night

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

500. In the first review I ever published in this vaunted publication — years before the collapse — I wrote of Shia LaBeouf that I would “rather watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt make a sandwich or pick up his dry cleaning.” The intervening years (or decades or centuries) have softened both my rhetoric and my feelings about LaBeouf. But I always have and always will show up for JGL. His choice of roles may not be unassailable and there may be a few misses on his CV, but he has never appeared in anything boring and has consistently challenged himself. He brings unabashed curiosity, eternal youth and ageless pathos to his roles, making him a compelling presence. Were it not for his name above the title of 7500, it’s debatable whether I would have made the time.

That is due in large part to the enduring impact of Paul Greengrass’ United 93 (2006), the defining hijacking movie of a generation. Released on the heels of the events it dramatizes, it’s both a chest-tightening thriller and a chilling reminder of the power of human conviction to create and avert tragedy. While 7500 (emergency code for an airplane hijacking) shares little stylistically with that earlier work, the common context is impossible to ignore. And, despite strong performances all around, a distinct aesthetic, taut narrative and a nervy, difficult emotional through-line, the latter cannot help but be compared somewhat unfavorably to the former. Still, it is yet another example of a streaming platform putting forth

a modestly sized, somewhat experimental production (a German one, in this case), thereby further subverting the status quo of only a few months ago.

And, of course, JGL, who in this instance plays Tobias Ellis, an American pilot working for a German airline. On the night depicted in the movie, he is the first officer on a flight from Berlin to Paris. Also on board, Gökce (Aylin Tezel), with whom he has a child and a happy life. Shortly after take-off, a group of men hijack the plane, storming the cockpit and injuring Tobias. He is able to subdue one and fend off the rest, but this only sets up a cat and mouse game, with the remaining hijackers alternately attempting to break down the cockpit door and threatening the lives of the passengers. Tobias, now a literal gatekeeper who must weigh the lives of the many against the lives of the few, attempts to negotiate while also imploring the passengers to overwhelm their assailants. Told almost entirely from the confines of the cockpit, it’s a harrowing 90-minute ride that relies primarily on Gordon-Levitt to propel it and carry almost all of its emotional weight. Writer/ director Patrick Vollrath uses measured, intelligent camera placement and economical dialogue to keep the story grounded in the authentic while also bringing visual interest and intensity to a sort of warped closed room mystery. It isn’t revelatory but it dares to be tragic and ambiguous at the same time, and Gordon-Levitt gives the sort of performance I was hoping for.

THE VAST OF NIGHT. In the last decade it has become increasingly rare to see a “mainstream” (maybe just American) movie and feel like one was present at an arrival. I’m a curmudgeon, I know, but it feels like the days of breakout cinematic artists have been attenuated by the anointing of would-be auteurs by the studios; the corruption of artists by the promise of a wider audience and lots and lots of money. I blame nobody for taking on the challenge of a Marvel movie but it deprives the audience of seeing artists’ imagination at work, what they can create without limitless resources. It’s one of the things that makes The Vast of Night special: Director Andrew Patterson feels like a creative force with patience, foresight and a point of view. And with this noteworthy movie he proves how much one can do with those attributes and a little support. (Mind you I felt similarly about Evan Glodell’s 2011 Bellflower and we haven’t seen much of him since. So, grain of salt.)

The Vast of Night, though, is an incredibly ambitious period piece that, while nodding to its influences and

maybe over-flourishing, remains concise, controlled and utterly original. It’s got monologues over a black frame, extended tracking shots, unbelievably long single takes and it never feels forced, never falters in its pace, aesthetic or the intensity of its storytelling.

It’s about an almost-swaggering proto-nerd radio DJ (Jake Horowitz) and a science obsessed, 16-year-old telephone switchboard operator (Sierra McCormick) in late-1950s New Mexico attempting to trace a mysterious audio transmission, all in the course of one evening. But don’t get lost in the set-up; more important to know it’s unlike anything else, especially anything that’s been made in the last several decades, and hopefully marks the beginning of a long series of similarly delicious, intoxicating work from Patterson (and his dynamite cast and crew). PG13.

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Is there a so-called weakness or liability you might be able to turn into an asset?

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “As beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration,” said singer Laura Nyro. This is practical advice for you to heed in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, you’re scheduled to enjoy an extended engagement with rich, fertile complexity. The best teachings won’t be reducible to a few basic lessons; rather, they’ll be rife with soulful nuances. The same is true about the splendid dilemmas that bring you stimulating amusements: They can’t and shouldn’t be forced into pigeonholes. As a general rule, anything that seems easy and smooth and straightforward will probably not be useful. Your power will come from what’s crooked, dense, and labyrinthine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may think that playing heavy metal music and knitting with yarn don’t have much in common. And yet there is an annual contest in Joensuu, Finland where people with expertise in needlework join heavy metal musicians on stage, plying their craft in rhythm to the beat.

The next Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship will be July 15-16, 2021. This year’s event was canceled due to the pandemic.

If it had been staged, I bet multiple Tauruses would have been among the top ten competitors. Why? Because you Bulls are at the peak of your ability to combine things that aren’t often combined. You have the potential to excel at making unexpected connections, linking influences that haven’t been linked before, and being successful at comparing apples and oranges.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1848, Danish King Frederick VII agreed, under pressure from liberal agitators, to relinquish some of his absolute power. Thereafter, he shared his decision-making with a newly formed parliament. He was pleased with this big change because it lightened his workload. “That was nice,” he remarked after signing the new constitution.

“Now I can sleep in every morning.” I recommend him to you as an inspirational role model in the coming weeks. What socalled advantages in your life are more boring or burdensome than fun and interesting? Consider the possibility of shedding dubious “privileges” and status symbols.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Mary McCarthy provides you with a challenge you’ll be wise to relish during the rest of 2020. She writes, “Everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you’re older is that you really must make the self.” McCarthy implies that this epic reorientation isn’t likely until you’ve been on earth for at least four decades. But judging from the astrological omens, I think you’re ready for it now—no matter what your age is. To drive home the point, I’ll say it in different words. Your task isn’t to find yourself, but rather to create yourself. Don’t wait around passively for life to show you who you are. Show life who you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some night soon, I predict you’ll have an agitated dream while you’re asleep: a nightmare that symbolizes an unresolved conflict you’re wrestling with in your waking life. Here’s a possible example: A repulsive politician you dislike may threaten to break a toy you loved when you were a kid. But surprise! There’ll be a happy ending. A good monster will appear in your dream and fix the problem; in my example, the benevolent beast will scare away the politician who’s about to break your beloved toy. Now here’s the great news: In the days after your dream, you’ll solve the conflict you’ve been wrestling with in your waking life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Love is the best school, but the tuition is high and the homework can be painful,” writes author Diane Ackerman. I’m guessing that in recent months, her description has been partially true for you Virgos. From what I can tell, love has indeed been a rigorous school. And the tuition has been rather high. But on the other hand, the

30

homework has been at least as pleasurable as it has been painful. I expect these trends to continue for the foreseeable future. What teachings about intimacy, communion, tenderness, and compassion would you like to study next?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible,” wrote Libran novelist Graham Greene. His words can serve as a stirring motto for you in the coming weeks. I sense you’re close to summoning a burst of courage—a bigger supply of audacity than you’ve had access to in a while. I hope you’ll harness this raw power to fuel a daring feat that will expand your conception of what is possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It’s not always easy to tell the difference between thinking and looking out of the window,” wrote poet Wallace Stevens. That’s a problem you won’t have to worry about anytime soon. The coming weeks will be a favorable phase for you to both think and gaze out the window—as well as to explore all the states in-between. In other words, you’ll have the right and the need to indulge in a leisurely series of dreamy ruminations and meandering fantasies and playful explorations of your deepest depths and your highest heights. Don’t rush the process. Allow yourself to linger in the gray areas and the vast stretches of inner wildness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to undertake a transformative vision quest, even if the exigencies of the pandemic require your quest to unfold primarily in your inner realms. The near future will also bring you good fortune if you focus on creating more sacredness in your rhythm and if you make a focused effort to seek out songs, texts, inspirations, natural places, and teachers that infuse you with a reverence for life. I’m trying to help you to see, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase when you can attract healing synchronicities into your world by deepening your sense of awe and communing with experiences that galvanize you to feel worshipful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To love well is the task in all meaningful relationships, not just romantic bonds.” The author and activist bell hooks wrote that. (She doesn’t capitalize her name.) In accordance with the highest astrological potentials, I’m inviting you Capricorns to be inspired by her wisdom as you upgrade your meaningful relationships during the next six weeks. I think it’s in your self-interest to give them even more focus and respect and appreciation than you already do. Be ingenious as you boost the generosity of spirit you bestow on your allies. Be resourceful as you do this impeccable work in the midst of a pandemic!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “One-half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it,” wrote author Sydney Howard. Now would be a perfect time to act on that excellent advice. Is there any obstacle standing in the way of your ability to achieve a beloved dream? Is there a pretty good thing that’s distracting you from devoting yourself wholeheartedly to a really great thing? I invite you to be a bit ruthless as you clear the way to pursue your heart’s desire.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Ellen Goodman writes, “The truth is that we can overhaul our surroundings, renovate our environment, talk a new game, join a new club, far more easily than we can change the way we respond emotionally.

It is easier to change behavior than feelings about that behavior.” I think she’s correct in her assessment. But I also suspect that you’re in a prime position to be an exception to the rule. In the coming weeks, you will have exceptional power to transform the way you feel—especially if those feelings have previously been based on a misunderstanding of reality and especially if those feelings have been detrimental to your mental and physical health. l
