‘Painful to Read’ Editor: Thank you for covering the story about the search for justice on Howard Street in Eureka (“What Happened on Howard Street,” Aug. 27). It was painful to read the statement from the chief investigator for the DA, that, “based on the status of the evidence, we would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.” It sounds too much like what happened with the justice for Josiah Lawson effort, only this time a grand jury wasn’t involved.

A trial contains no guarantees, and using the excuse that they would be “unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt” doesn’t inspire confidence in the system.

Doesn’t the fact that the victim is Black and a minor, and the alleged assailant white give extra weight to the effort to find justice? The scales of justice have been demonstrably out of balance for the Black community and here is a chance to restore some trust. Was the evidence submitted by the Sheriff ’s Office that flimsy? The investigators follow professional standards before submitting a case to the DA, right?

Rather than rejecting the opportunity to pursue justice, why can’t the DA ask the sheriff to revisit the investigation, providing guidance, if needed, about what it is they are looking for in order to go forward? Given the number of on-therecord disruptions occurring on Howard Street, and the frustrations experienced by the neighbors and law enforcement, a vigorous effort to use our justice system would be constructive.

The investigator’s statement rejecting the case sounds like a verbal shrug. Sadly, it underscores the notion that some of us matter more than others when it comes to which cases will get the full attention of the law. All of us expect and deserve more from our public servants.

Sheila Evans, Eureka EditorWhat has happened to the Achane family on Howard Street is outrageous — thank you for featuring this travesty of justice. It is unsurprising and disappointing to hear of the broken wheels of justice in Humboldt. Although I campaigned diligently for District Attorney Maggie Fleming, during her tenure I have been disappointed repeatedly: allowing a homeless, significantly developmentally delayed adult to be tried by a judge disqualified by prior acts, accepting an inadequate competency determination, and ultimately condoning an arguably excessive sentence of hard time at San Quentin! In another case, a freshly released ex-con seriously

assaulted a tiny, homeless 3 year old. The Sheriff ’s Office did its job, but the DA’s office was dismal — the guy was on multiple parole violations out of Mendocino County but, immediately released, he then proceeded to commit multiple violations of a Humboldt restraining order related to the baby assault and was not arrested, and more than a year later, this child assault case remains in limbo. In both these cases, all involved were white and homeless.

I hope a powerful lawyer will represent the Achanes against the county and that a justice agency with authority over the DA will investigate the multiple mishandlings. Justice requires timely due process and law enforcement for all, no matter the color of their skin, their poverty, their age nor their intellectual challenges.

Worth Saving Editor: I read the report from Kym Kemp on your website with a predictable sense of alarm and foreboding (“During the COIVD Crisis, Southern Humboldt Dealt Another Bitter Blow as Only Pharmacy for 30 Miles Closes Tomorrow,” posted Aug. 27). The loss of core services is a serious issue for all rural areas and deserves attention from all of us.

In the case of pharmacies, there are reasonable alternatives to explore that can take advantage of other, even non-related businesses and services.

There is a health facility in Garberville that could be the vehicle to use for a notfor-profit pharmacy annex. It is possible to create a separate tolling or use fee and dedicate it to salary support for a resident pharmacist? Health facility insurance procedures can be used to support and minimalize insurance record-keeping and oversight. Even for a small clinic, collaboration is not some evil monopolist exercise, it’s good business and even good common sense.

There is an established market in Garberville. There may be an opportunity to follow the Safeway example and either lease or gift space to a resident pharmacist and use the insurance resources of the

Terry Torgerson

parent company to help indemnify and insure this service. The regional community can participate with subscription support for ambulance and helicopter or out-ofarea transport memberships to underpin the expenses of such a critical resource.

This is a loss that can be reversed and I would bet that if given a choice, the current pharmacist would rather stay in a community where he has built and has established himself as part of the community. This would appear to be a time for the community to come together and devise an innovative plan for re-creating a key part of the medical care paradigm.

The HACHR ‘Hoax’ Editor I find it ironic and self-serving for Eureka Councilmember Kim Bergel to say “I feel like we really tried to work with HACHR on so many levels” (NCJ Daily Online, Aug. 20). Almost two years ago, Bergel and fellow Councilmember Heidi Messner presented HACHR with a letter on city stationery threatening HACHR that “lack of compliance will result in a recension” of the needle program certification.

That this letter was nothing but a form of harassment was exposed when then City Manager Greg Sparks said about it, “Really, they just represented themselves as two council members. They weren’t speaking for the entire city” (NCJ, Aug. 2, 2018).

Today we see that the conservative elements in Eureka are still bullying HACHR and trying to end its much needed

program.

If the video presented by the Eureka Police Department purportedly showing a drug sale on HACHR property is a reflection of the caliber of the case against HACHR, then HACHR has nothing to worry about. In the video, we can clearly hear a HACHR employee telling the two men involved in an alleged drug deal to move off of the property. Initially thinking that they may be exchanging food, this is what she says: “Just getting food, right?”

Upon seeing that they were not exchanging food, she immediately tells them to move off the property saying “This is not the place for anything else!”

The words of President Trump — who I’m sure is a hero to Eureka’s right wing elements — ring true when applied to the city’s sting effort to de-certify HACHR, if not anywhere else: “This is a hoax!” It is also an example of why we need to defund the Eureka Police Department. If it has money to waste in operations aimed to demonize a truly compassionate and needed organization like HACHR, then it has too much money.

‘Police Reform Now’ Editor: Idea: It’s time we take firearms from law enforcement (“Fear to Anger to Rage,” June 4). Give them all non-lethal equipment and hire more officers if needed. A call for firearm assistance can then be made for firearm assistance whenever necessary.

Doing that allows a much better decision

to be made whether or not firearms are warranted and should be sent.

Officers are pulling firearms at the slightest sense of a confrontation. Refusing to stop walking away and not having a weapon is not a confrontation and it shouldn’t be an immediate death sentence.

Enforcing the law is what police are trained to do.

But it seems to be that the decision to shoot the person simply because the person won’t comply and won’t willingly get on the ground is wrong and officers need to force them to the ground, not shoot them. Though they have an arsenal of non-lethal methods and usually countless officers assisting, countless times officers have relied on the firearm instead. If this is the new norm, then officers should start saying, “If you don’t comply now I’m going to shoot to kill.”

That is not what they’re trained to do but that is what they do. I apologize to all our law enforcement. I support you, but this is a fact more often than not. It’s a total waste of time training officers when the first thing they almost always do is pull the firearm. Hey, maybe veterans should be the only choice for the job. They are trained and grilled on how, where and why to use their firearms. But along with that, firearms should only be on the street when SWAT is called. Then, the last weapon used will be the firearm. Something like this has to be done now! Standing for comprehensive police reform now. God bless America!

Mark Kennedy, McKinleyville

A Lack of Imagination Editor: I read with interest the article about Sean Armstrong wanting to rename some of Arcata’s streets (‘This is Our World,’ Aug. 27). I’ve been thinking about that for years, but not for historical reasons — simply for their lack of imagination. Perhaps only Salt Lake City can boast a more mundane street organization. Arcata, though, is hardly large enough to warrant trapping its wonderfully creative citizens in this 1-2-3-A-B-C grid. When San Francisco laid out the completely square plan for what was to become “the avenues,” at least it had the foresight and imagination to do the alphabet in Spanish surnames.

So, in that vein, and with the certainty that we are even more fun up here (and with a nod to whoever has already named Eye and Jay streets north of the skate park), I propose the renaming of all alphabetical streets: Eh Street, Be Street, See Street, De Street, Iiiiii Street, If Street, Gee! Street, Itch Street, Eye Street, Jay Street, Kaye Street, Al Street, Am Street, End Street, Oh! Street, Pea Street, (eliminate Q for now — we all know that Q is useless without all the U’s that follow him), Are Street, Ass Street, Tea Street, You Street, Fee Street, Axe Street, Why Street, Zie Street. I realize that we will have to infringe on a couple decent-enough street names in the Greenview area to squeeze in those last few.

And numerical streets? Even more boring. Well, San Francisco paid homage to its Spanish colonization. Arcata could go one better. How about just Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

‘Poor Taste’ Editor: Is it me, or is the Pierson Building Center full-page “Celebrating Local History” ad (Aug. 27) insensitive at best, or blatantly promoting Blue Lives Matter? Are we expected to “celebrate” the harrowing image of five men on horses above a caption which references officers “chosen for their size and ability to fight rather than their experience,” while much of the country protests the unjust murders of Black people at the hands of modern-day police?

Maybe this was just in poor taste but it certainly will make me think twice before I shop at Pierson’s again.

Correction A story headlined “’This is Our World’” in the Aug. 27, 2020 edition of the North Coast Journal contained inaccurate and potentially misleading information. Humboldt County historian Jerry Rohde said the “Humboldt Volunteers militia formed in 1860 was known to murder Native people, but did not indicate the same is true of three other militias mentioned in the article. Further, it should be noted that while Rohde and local history enthusiast Lynette Mullen are quoted extensively speaking to specific historical claims in an online petition seeking to rename certain Arcata streets, they did not personally review the petition or take a position on it. The Journal regrets the error and any confusion caused by the article.

Yurok Connected

Why a North Coast tribe used its stimulus funding to invest big on communications infrastructure

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen shelter in place hit in March, Rose Sylvia couldn’t just stay home.

Sure, she had a job that allowed her to telecommute and her son’s school had shifted to distance learning. But Sylvia’s home, tucked near the end of State Route 169 in one of the most rural areas of a rural region, didn’t have internet or cellular service.

So instead of staying home isolated last spring to protect herself and others from COVID-19, Sylvia would regularly load her 9 year old into the car and drive about 45 minutes down State Route 169, past Pecwan and Martins Ferry as the two-lane road followed the Klamath River, to the Yurok Tribal Office in Weitchpec. With the office mostly empty as the tribe ordered everyone who could to work from home, Sylvia and her son would set up a work space where he could do his distance learning and she could plug in as the tribe’s human resources director.

The same dance would have started anew this fall with Hoopa Elementary School having opted to begin the year with distance learning, but it didn’t, thanks to a massive investment from the Yurok Tribe to bring high-speed internet service to Sylvia and hundreds of households that had been living far off the telecommunications grid. The project — undertaken with $2.1 million in federal CARES Act relief funding allocated by the Yurok Tribal Council — will also enhance emergency communications on the reservation and boost internet speeds for houses already receiving service through Yurok Connect, a tribe-owned wireless service provider.

With more than 6,300 members, the

Yurok Tribe is one of California’s largest but its roughly 85-mile reservation straddles a 40-mile stretch of the Klamath River. In addition to being sparsely populated, the reservation stretches over some of the most remote, forested lands in the state, which has caused private sector telecommunications companies to pass on bringing services to the area. That’s why in 2013 the tribe launched Yurok Connect, which draws a wireless, over-water connection from Crescent City to Requa, from which the signal is sent through a six-tower network to bring internet services to the area. But the signal is weak — akin to dial-up, according to Jessica Engle, director of the tribe’s information technology

department — and dependent on line-ofsight from tower to tower, meaning it has become spotty as trees have grown taller over the past seven years.

Engle said the tribe had been looking for years at ways to make Yurok Connect’s service both more reliable and faster but the project is dauntingly expensive, requiring physically extending the existing towers to make them taller and adding some new ones, as well as equipment upgrades on the towers and users’ homes.

“We’d been working toward this goal for a while but when we get grants, they’re not normally big enough to take on such a large project,” Engle said.

But Engle and others knew the project

was vital — a notion that was quickly reinforced when shelter-in-place became a reality back in March, instantly forcing tribal members to telecommute to work, distance learn for school and use video conferencing for medical appointments.

Much of that was simply infeasible for large swaths of the tribe’s membership.

“There are some areas on the reservation that don’t have any communications whatsoever — students couldn’t do distance learning and had to drive 30-plus minutes to get service,” Engle said, adding that some tribal elders were also living without any reliable communication connection to the outside world.

When the tribe got word it would be receiving funding through the federal stimulus bill, Engle said she and her department immediately pitched the tribal council to use it to make a significant investment in Yurok Connect. COVID-19, they said, had made getting tribal members connected to high-speed internet service imperative. The council agreed.

“The broadband project will considerably enhance emergency communications on the reservation for decades to come,” Tribal Chair Joseph James said in a press release shortly after the council allocated the funding. “It will also create a wide range of additional benefits for tribal citizens, ranging from new economic opportunities to improved healthcare options. This is a game changer for the Yurok Tribe.”

In addition to giving tribal members enhanced economic, education and healthcare opportunities, getting connected may also be a good way to keep them safe. The tribe has taken an aggressive approach to protecting members from COVID-19, and that’s proven good policy as data indicates Native people are at far higher risk of both contracting the virus and suffering critical health impacts than their white counterparts.

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that COVID cases have been far more prevalent among Native populations, which have seen 594 confirmed cases per 100,000 people versus just 169 cases per 100,000 people for white people. Locally, Native people have accounted for about 7 percent of cases in Humboldt County while making up an estimated 6.4 percent of the population, according to the U.S. Census.

But Native residents in Humboldt County also are more likely to have the underlying health conditions that greatly increase the risk of critical COVID-19 outcomes.

The latest county health assessment in 2018 highlights dramatic health disparities locally, noting that “Native Americans in

Humboldt County will die an average of 12 years sooner than Caucasians.” The report states that these disparities likely stem from “federal and local policies that governed the quality of life for Native Americans over the past 400 years” and were initially directed at their extermination through genocide, “outlawing of traditional and cultural practices, and removal from their homelands.”

The report states diabetes-related death rates are two times higher for Native residents than the local population as a whole, with rates of cardiovascular disease more than doubled. And according to the Centers for Disease Control, COVID-19 patients with such underlying conditions are six times more likely to be hospitalized and 12 times more likely to die of the disease.

The Yurok Tribe realized early on protecting its members from the pandemic would take a multi-faceted approach.

“It was immediately apparent with the reservation closure and the pandemic that you want people to stay home,” Engle said, adding she didn’t expect anything less than the council’s full support of efforts to allow tribal members to safely shelter in place while working, learning and staying connected.

Engle said the goal is to have the project complete by the end of the year, noting that in addition to constructing two new towers and raising the existing six, radios and access points need to be replaced with “carrier-grade” equipment to accommodate the higher speeds.

For Sylvia, who lives at the end of State Route 169 “in the boonies” near Wauteck Village, having broadband at home has been “huge.” In addition to allowing her to work and her son to join video conferences with his class without leaving the safety of their home, she said it’s just been nice to “kind of stay connected to the world.” She said she’s been watching the news, while her son has been playing online video games with friends and video conferencing with his cousins.

“You can see his little disposition change by having interactions with kids rather than just his parents,” she said. “You just don’t know how happy I am to have this service and to be able to do what I need to do without stressing out about leaving the house.”

SoHum Loses Sole Pharmacy

S

outhern Humboldt has lost its only pharmacy, forcing residents to travel more than an hour to purchase medications.

Keith’s Pharmacy owner Keith Lorang told KMUD he was closing simply because the business wasn’t making a profit.

“No matter how much we did, we were losing money,” he said, adding that recent changes in insurance policies made it impossible for him to get in the black. “It is time for me to do something else.”

Lorang said the business would close for good at 6 p.m. Aug. 28 and customers could get their prescriptions sent elsewhere if they contacted him by then. In the future, he said patients will have to go to Fortuna to get prescriptions filled or could arrange deliveries through Redwood’s Rural. He acknowledged that announcing the closure just a day in advance didn’t give residents much notice.

“I didn’t notify myself until (Aug. 25),” he said wryly, adding that a local insurance company was withholding about $20,000 from him. “They said I broke the rules in giving people their prescriptions.”

Lorang said he told himself, “To heck with this. I’m tired of fighting with the insurance companies all the time. … I will have to get into a different line of work.”

Bob Davila, spokesperson for the Cali-

fornia State Board of Pharmacy, said that Lorang’s license was set to expire Aug. 31.

“This is devastating that there has been no notice given to the community,” explained Clover Willison, a Southern Humboldt insurance agent who has clients who use the pharmacy. “We have cancer patients or people with diabetes that are very reliant on getting medication when they need it. When they have no notice that their pharmacy is no longer in business, there is a lag time between having a doctor’s office provide a new prescription and possibly obtaining authorization from an insurance company.”

Willison explained that patients can make arrangements with one of the local clinics and have prescriptions delivered or they can choose to travel north to Fortuna or Eureka – about 40 to 60 miles one way depending on where they start.

Not having a local pharmacy especially impacts those whose finances are limited and those whose may have issues that make traveling difficult, Willison pointed out.

“When we are talking about a transient population and some with severe mental health issues and relying on those medications to stabilize them, [not having a pharmacy close by] is a problem,” she said.

Local medical services are scrambling to cope with the unexpected crisis.

or Jill and Larry Cromwell, owners of Folsom’s three Maribou Salons, the last six months have been a neverending series of financial nightmares. How could they pay $26,000 a month in rent with the hair salons closed due to coronavirus? Would they have to declare bankruptcy? What did it all mean for their three children, or the family house?

Code Orange New tiered system loosens some restrictions locally, tightens others

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

On Aug. 28, they got a glimmer of hope: Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that starting Aug. 31, hair salons and barber shops across the state will be allowed to reopen indoors with health precautions in place. It seemed like good news for one of the last states to reopen salons but Jill Cromwell and fellow salon owners were left scrambling to figure out how, exactly, they would be allowed to get back to work.

H

umboldt County has implemented the state’s new tiered blueprint for reopening and while it imposes added restrictions on some sectors and loosens them on others, County Health Officer Teresa Frankovich said she thinks it’s a net positive locally.

While the governor’s previous “watch list” system was mostly an all-or-nothing endeavor — prohibiting certain activities and services, but allowing others — Fran-

“It is completely confusing,” she said.

“To make schedules and find people to work, you don’t just say, ‘This is great and we’ll be open in two days.’”

Under mounting pressure to address business owners like Cromwell, hundreds of thousands of laid-off California workers and parents weathering a chaotic backto-school season, Newsom also unveiled a broader new tiered system to determine

what is allowed to open and how in each county. It’s not a full-fledged economic reopening, he said, but cases of the virus have fallen by about 40 percent since last month. Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly cautioned that the state is “not out of the woods” with an average 5,503 new cases per day.

The Aug. 28 announcement marked the state’s latest attempt to walk a blurry

kovich told the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors the new framework is a bit more nuanced.

“The idea is really to be able to expand or contract operations for most businesses, rather than simply opening or closing,” she said.

The system uses two metrics — average daily new cases per 100,000 residents and test positivity rates, both over a seven-day period — to place counties in one of four

risk tiers, which range from “widespread” (purple on the color wheel) to “minimal” (yellow). Humboldt is currently in the “moderate” category, with 3.6 cases per 100,000 residents and a positivity rate of 1.7 percent, putting it between the “substantial” and “minimal” risk tiers. To be bumped up to the “substantial” tier — which brings tighter restrictions — Humboldt would have to see an average of between four and seven new cases a day or a test positiv-

(707) 362-1004 line between public health and economic ruin for business owners and workers caught up in pandemic closures. While the first wave of the virus brought promises of business loans and increased unemployment checks, the need of small businesses is beyond what’s available and state and federal politicians so far haven’t delivered on a second round of longer-term financial relief.

“COVID-19 will be with us for a long time, and we need to adapt,” Newsom said during a press conference. “You’ll be now hearing a lot about tiers.”

New reopening framework The new four-tier, color-coded system is a redesign of the state’s previous county-by-county guidelines, which drew widespread criticism for reopening businesses too rapidly.

Hoping for a better statewide standard, the new framework allows for partial or more progressive reopening of businesses.

Restaurants in a county that moves from a “purple” tier to “red” can reopen indoor dining at 25 percent capacity, for example.

ity rate of 5 to 8 percent. (Eclipsing either threshold will move a county to the more restrictive tier.)

To move down to the “minimal” tier, Humboldt would have to see daily case averages fall to below one with a less than 2 percent positivity rate for a period of 21 days.

The tiered restrictions vary by sector.

For example, restaurants can open for indoor dining at 50 percent capacity in the “moderate” tier but would have to cut back to 25 percent capacity if their county moves to “substantial.” Bars are allowed to open for outdoor operations under “moderate” but would have to close entirely under “substantial.” Gyms and indoor pools can open at 25 percent capacity in the “moderate” tier but would have to cut back to 10 percent and close pools in the “substantial” tier, or could bump to 50 percent capacity and open saunas, spas and steam rooms in the “minimal” tier.

All things considered, Frankovich said Humboldt County should be grateful it didn’t land in the “substantial” tier, given that some recent weeks of local case numbers would have qualified but not the weeks the state used to calculate initial ratings. That said, she warned Humboldt County could quickly land there if it were to see an average of about eight cases a day for a couple of weeks, adding that there’s no question virus spread is trending upward locally and, while it took Humboldt

It also eliminates some of the more burdensome requirements placed on counties to reopen more businesses. For instance, counties will no longer need to meet testing or contact tracing requirements to ease restrictions. Instead each phase will be solely based on case rate and test positivity.

The state will now tie funding to testing and contract tracing, ensuring counties provide adequate coronavirus response.

In the hours after the governor’s announcement, local officials and a range of industry groups were scrambling to figure out what would come next.

“We do not yet have the full clarity on the new tiers,” the California State Association of Counties said in a statement, which Humboldt County officials echoed a short time later, saying it likely wouldn’t be until Sept. 1 or beyond before they knew exactly what the new system would mean for local restrictions. (See sidebar.)

At the Professional Beauty Federation of California, attorney Fred Jones was trying to sort out whether the industry will

157 days to log its first 194 cases, the next 194 were confirmed in just 44.

“What I want to point out is that case rate is the thing that we really need to be watching,” she said.

Frankovich also cautioned again that folks gathering with people outside their household units remains the primary driver of cases locally, noting that multiple recent cases spawned from a social gathering of about 40 people.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said the Joint Information Center regularly receives complaints of larger social gatherings and works to head them off before they occur, when it can. Both he and Frankovich warned that the risks of such gatherings are great because they could see a large number of people exposed at once, with each of them going back to unwittingly infect people within their households.

“It takes one or two of these gatherings and, all of a sudden, we’re blowing up, we’re on a different tier and we’re closing down some businesses and our freedoms are being taken away because a few groups decided to get together,” Honsal said. “The problem is a relatively small number of people with gatherings can really change the whole dynamic for the county.” l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

be subject to a 25 percent cap on capacity that the state has specified for retail shops and malls in areas with the highest levels of infections. A document shared with CalMatters by the governor’s office did not say that hair salons would be bound by such a cap.

The governor didn’t give a reason on Friday for the reversal on hair salons and barber shops, but Jones had a guess after months of protests and a lawsuit filed this spring: “I think we have sufficiently beat the hell out of the governor in the court of public opinion,” he said.

Ben Daidone is one of the many salon owners who fully reopened in California for a brief time between May and July after spending thousands of dollars on new plexiglass partitions and other health precautions. By this week, he was out of money to pay rent for his namesake Santa Monica salon of 30 years.

The situation had become dire, he said, after Newsom ordered a second round of business closures around the July 4 holiday as virus cases exploded. But the rules varied significantly from place to place.

Bars and beach parking lots were closed, but not gyms. Restaurants were allowed to operate outdoors but not hair salons. At times, it’s felt arbitrary for business owners like Daidone.

“We have adapted well,” he said. “That is what’s so confusing. We followed procedures, they worked and then we got shut down.”

Any shift back to full service offerings indoors will be helpful for stylists, who rely on hair colorings and other more elaborate offerings to generate most of their revenue. But still at issue for Jones on Aug. 28 was a decision to keep outdoor-only mandates in place for nail salons and estheticians in hard-hit areas. They have the same state license as hairstylists, he said, and pose less of a risk to communities than big-box retailers and dentists allowed to stay open.

“It’s because those industries are powerful,” Jones said. “I think the health bureaucrats needed a sacrificial lamb to show that they were doing something.” l Ana Ibarra contributed to this report.

ON THE TABLE

Humboldt To Go

A Facebook group made for shelter in place

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

M

elissa Harnden has a little time before her next shift at St. Joseph Hospital. Her light brown hair is pulled back into a ponytail and she’s already in a set of black scrubs with black and white trim as we chat over Zoom, the neat, neutral-toned walls of her home flashing past as she carries her phone from room to room.

From 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. she’ll be in the labor and delivery ward, where she says it’s been busier than ever. “It’s what I love to do. I knew when I was in sixth grade it was what I wanted to do. My grandma was a nurse’s aide and I saw pictures of her in her little uniform,” she says, adding she’s always been “a natural caretaker.” And it was nursing and her helper instincts that led her to start the Humboldt To Go Facebook page at the start of shelter in place. Now 9,000 members strong with some 100 businesses posting their offerings, it’s grown into a hub of local restaurant updates, commiseration, small business boosting and occasional conflict.

At the start of shelter in place, Harnden and her fellow nurses, who frequently rely on takeout, were eating a lot of fast food, unsure what else was open. She also worried whether her favorite independent places would last through the shutdown. A friend told her about Anchorage To Go, a Facebook group for restaurants and diners in the Alaska city that started in March “to support local during these hard times, and to share our delicious food with our neighbors.” Harnden, who’d made and been active on other pages to get supplies to areas affected by fires or to help out community members in need, thought, “We could do this.”

She reached out to chambers of commerce to invite restaurants to share their menus and hours. By March 22, the group was live, open for people to join and posting safety information about COVID-19.

Soon members were sharing food truck locations and recommendations, and chatting with restaurant owners about posted photos and menus.

The group grew steadily until April, when it was posted on the Humboldt Foodies Facebook page, where more than 15,000 members share the meals they’ve cooked, purchased or are dreaming about, and it took off into the thousands. While Harnden was thrilled at the page’s popularity, it came with drama.

There was the usual comment sparring and Harnden found herself frequently reminding members the page was meant to uplift and not to critique restaurants.

However, maintaining the page’s local-only focus proved contentious, especially when Harnden removed posts about chains. It wasn’t about putting down fast food, she says, she simply felt they didn’t need word of mouth from the page like mom-and-pop places.

“To be honest, it was really hard to get that stuff,” says Harnden of the angry and insulting messages she got. “I was called an elitist at one point,” she says, tossing her hands up and laughing. But, she admits, “It was hurtful.”

In the early days of the shutdown, for nurses in particular, Harnden says, “There was something we were all going through and it was really emotional and really hard. … We were scared to go to work and terrified to come home,” worried they might be endangering their families. It left her without the usual thick skin she’d developed working in a hospital for 10 years and as a server in restaurants before that.

Watching restaurants struggling and closing was hard, too. “During this time it was really hard to see [negative comments],” she says. The rest of her social media feed and news consumption was rife with conflict, and Harnden didn’t want that energy in Humboldt To Go. “It had to stay positive.”

So she moved to zero-tolerance and started banishing people for offensive behavior. “I have a local succulent page and people are not that rude over succulents,” she says, adding that the pandemic has brought out a new level of nastiness on social media. Five months later, she’s feeling steadier. Plus she has help.

Tyler Pitts has been working in Humboldt restaurant kitchens for more than 15 years and in his downtime, he’s been an administrator on the Humboldt Foodies page since 2014. When the fighting over keeping the Humboldt to Go page local blew up, he saw that Harnden was overwhelmed and offered to jump in and help. “I’m just kind of the enforcer who doesn’t care how many people DM me and talk craziness and want to fight,” he says, chuckling into the phone. A couple, he says, have even tried to get him to meet up for a physical fight.

Because of a takeout Facebook page. In such situations, Pitts recommends muting and blocking. “Just don’t engage. You can

read the first message they send you and you know how it’s gonna go. Either they’re gonna be an asshole and talk shit and be rude, or they’re gonna be respectful and those are the ones you respond to.”

In the end, Harnden settled the locals-only controversy with a poll, confident the majority of members would want to stick to the original parameters. And they did, with easily twice as many people wanting to keep it local as not. But other posts brought drama, including debates over masks and dining in at restaurants.

A post crowd sourcing a running list of Black-owned food businesses to support in the midst of national and local Black Lives Matter protests drew both helpful input and anger. “We as admins totally approved that post and some people didn’t like it,” says Harnden. According to her, it was one of the most reported posts, meaning members contacted the admins to remove it.

She says she doesn’t get why people were offended and has kept the post up.

Pitts recalls the post as a period spent busily muting, blocking and deleting. “We’ve worked hard to keep politics and anything like it off of the Foodies and To Go pages,” he says, “but to have so many people having a problem with our community wanting to support our local Black-owned businesses really exposed some of the uglier parts of our county.”

It was only after Pitts started helping out that he and Harnden realized they lived blocks apart in Blue Lake. So does Jessica Jones, a former high school classmate of Harnden’s who also volunteered to pitch in and now spends around eight hours a week on the page. Jones, who works at the Arcata Post Office, was grateful for the help finding takeout after work, as well as for how it boosts restaurants. “You’re trying to survive in this weird time in our lives. … I’m glad to see people making the best of it. … I feel like our local restaurants have just killed it with their food … and comfort food is a great way to make people feel normal.”

Harnden says the feedback from grateful restaurant owners — via appreciative posts and messages, and once in person — has been a happy surprise. “I kinda realized it was worth it,” she says. She’s pleased her caretaker instincts seem to have led to a way for members to help each other, perhaps even after shelter in place ends.

“It’s been this weird, cool way of making something fun out of something that’s been such a hard time for some people.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

I was age 15. The questions to me were from my father. I knew shotguns. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been hunting grouse and rabbits since age 12.

Bob, our neighbor, known with affection as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Man,â&#x20AC;? was not long out of prison. For a scary five minutes, Bob and two strangers had startled the peace of a rural Upper Michigan summer evening with angry shouting and threats.

Without saying a word, I had gotten my 12-gauge pump shotgun, found and loaded several shells, but failed to capture my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention until I racked a shell into the chamber. That sound meant business.

Bob was colorful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; larger than life to me. He had killed a man in a barroom brawl.

I believed Bob when he said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start the fight and regretted the result. We did not know him back then, having only met him after he was paroled.

Bob let me drive his one-of-a-kind go kart, which could reach speeds of 80 mph.

Unlike Bob, I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t driven it in traffic on Highway 41. Not yet. Bob also let me try out his Harley, a big improvement, I thought, over the Honda 90 my friend Ted would only reluctantly let me borrow.

These things my father had no need to know.

That night, watching and hearing a scary argument, I feared if things went wrong between Bob and these strangers, Bob might

end up back in prison. And how dull would that have made my life?

Maybe my father knew more than he generally cared to reveal. His words caught my attention: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You bring a gun or even a knife to a fight and you better plan on using it, or it will be used on you.â&#x20AC;?

And so, he and I hesitated. Before we could act, the shouting ended and the strangers walked away.

This night 50 years ago was a remote memory until Kenosha, Wisconsin, where Jacob Blake, yet another shot-in-the-back Black man, became part of our national anguish over racism, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original sin. It was Kenosha that triggered these recollections after a 17-year-old, baby-faced white boy and his assault rifle were welcomed to the angry and volatile streets by law enforcement. They were welcomed with predictable results â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more innocent lives lost and an empty kid charged with homicide.

My father, Harold, a man I always loved and often hated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a construction worker, a Republican and a humble, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-not-discuss-it, World War II veteran â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in Kenosha to stop this errant young man.

Nor were there other Harolds who might have reasoned with him that night, rather than urging him on.

My father, Harold, loved the outdoors, liked hunting and kept guns for their utility.

But more than anything else, Harold loved his family and his community. He took care of both. â&#x2014;?

Labyrinth Labor of Love

Making a meditative space, stone by stone

Rockie Head and Susie Laraine at the outer rings of their meditative stone labyrinth.

Louisa Rogers

By Louisa Rogers

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen I walk a labyrinth, my mind becomes almost still.

So when I interviewed Susie Laraine and Rockie Head, two Eureka women who built a labyrinth, I expected them to be soft-spoken, even reverent. Instead our conversation was punctuated with raucous laughter as we sat apart on the grass next to the labyrinth in Head’s backyard.

Old friends, Laraine and Head met at a Christian-flavored meditation group called Centering Prayer, started 20 years ago by the late hospital chaplain Ken Meece. Before the pandemic, the group met weekly in the chapel of Eureka’s Christ Episcopal Church, where few knew that the chapel’s carpet sheltered a labyrinth underneath.

Arriving in 2018, the new rector Daniel London was intimately familiar with labyrinths, having been married on the one at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Soon the carpet was gone, the floor exposed and the labyrinth freshly painted and appreciated.

A labyrinth is not a multi-path maze.

Rather, it consists of an uninterrupted winding path demarcated by stones. Walking a labyrinth, an ancient spiritual practice used for meditation and prayer, typically takes about 15 minutes.

Laraine, who always wanted to build a labyrinth, never had a garden big enough, so she and Head were a perfect match: Head had the space; Laraine had the skills. A ceramic artist and natural builder, Laraine had previously created pieces like a life-sized person playing a saxophone out Styrofoam packing material gleaned from trash cans for the Morris Graves Museum of Art’s annual Junque Art Exhibition.

“Even though the labyrinth is in my

backyard, I think of it as Susie’s,” says Head.

“I would never have built this on my own.

I’m not a gardener. I had foster children and dogs and they wreaked havoc on the yard.”

The two began by visiting local labyrinths, including one on the grounds of Hospice of Humboldt and Peter Santino’s “All Happy Now” spiral at the Humboldt Botanical Garden.

Laraine is fascinated by rocks and has collected and used them to build a number of pieces. “Put me by a riverbed and I can be left alone for hours,” she says. She and Head spent last fall driving to each of Humboldt’s rivers to gather stones.

Though the outings were fun, transporting the rocks was no easy matter. At first, they put the stones into Head’s dog food bags and lugged them up the river bank to the car. Later they borrowed a friend’s baby stroller to cart the rocks.

Their labyrinth has a radius of 19 feet.

“Nineteen is a mystical number in the Baha’i religion,” explains Head, a follower of the Baha’i and Sufi faiths. They measured the 2-foot ring widths by placing safety pins on the training leash for Head’s dog Dash. “High tech!” she laughs.

Rather than follow a logical order, “We’d just look at each other and say, ‘What shall we work on today?’” Laraine says. “We did the outside ring first, the innermost ring next, and then the intermediate ones.” On the grass, she showed me how. “You dig a hole with a trowel, make an indentation for each stone, place the stone in carefully and pack dirt around it.”

Meeting once or twice a week, they spent two to three hours working each time.

They made some mistakes, like filling in all the rings with stones and forgetting

to leave openings where the walker makes a turn. And they haven’t decided what to put in the center — at the moment a pink hula hoop adorns the space.

From a plaster mold, Laraine created colorful ceramic glazed stones that they placed at the turning point of every ring.

Each stone represents a different faith: Baha’i, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Hindu, Sikhism and Shinto, with another representing all Native American religions. “One goal of Baha’i is is to help others on their path and encourage each individual’s spiritual practice, so we wanted to represent as many faiths as we could,” says Head.

The two walk the labyrinth regularly, as do fellow meditators of the open-air Centering Prayer group. “I’m always going this way and that,” Laraine says. “Walking the labyrinth helps me to slow down.”

Laraine and Head joke that knowing what they know now, they could become labyrinth consultants. They’d probably have plenty of clients. According to a recent Bloomberg article, building garden labyrinths is a popular trend during the pandemic.

But whatever happens in the future, the process has been a spiritual journey for them. “During the time of shelter in place, I haven’t been able to serve the community in my usual ways, since meeting faceto-face is restricted,” says Head. “Building a labyrinth gave me a way to be in the natural world and to make a contribution.” ● Louisa Rogers (she/her) is a freelance writer based in Humboldt.

SCREENS

An Excellent Balm for Bogus Times Bill and Ted Face the Music

By John J. Bennett

You wanna see it in the theater or …?

screens@northcoastjournal.com

B

Bill and Ted Face the Music

ILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC As much as this is a column regarding the charming third installment in a remarkably — shockingly — longlegged franchise, it is also very much not a column about Unhinged or The New Mutants. Those two, from a distance, appear to basically be throwaways, the latter a seemingly unloved stepchild within the extended Marvel family, its release pushed back and back for years, until the plague and the inevitable reopening of theaters provided an opportunity to foist it off on a lukewarm audience, with a builtin justification for poor box office returns.

The former, a modern — read: more toxic — riff on Falling Down (1993) aims to goad us into seeing it in the theater, complete with Russell Crowe calling us names in internet advertising. They exist near opposite poles on the spectrum of COVID frustration made manifest in mass marketing. The New Mutants is sort of slumping into theaters, the very image of resignation bordering on self-harm. Unhinged wants to break the door down and invite everybody tougher than a virus to swagger on in.

This is not a column about Tenet, either, though that’s a different proposition altogether. Being a Christopher Nolan movie, it is sure to be big and long and labored over; it will likely be exquisitely crafted and proud of its cleverness and I’m sure I’ll en-

joy it when I watch it at home, which may be a while. Nolan is the last of an essentially extinct species: the figurehead director of a major studio. He is the kept king of Warner Bros. and writes his own ticket. He controls his material completely, works with astronomical budgets, shoots on film and insists his movies be shown theatrically, on the biggest screens available. Because he has figured out a system of checks and balances for his sometimes superior intellectualism, his movies appeal to a massive audience and become blockbusters. And so Tenet has been something of a bellwether for a cinematic year of — what, exactly? Crisis? Evolution? Inevitability?

The studio has pushed its release too many times to count, announcing ever more tentative, wishful dates for its signalling of the end of the virus. And all of a sudden, it’s here. Why now, we may never fully understand, but here it is: a multi-hundred million dollar, two-and-a-half-hour exercise in collective magical thinking.

I’ve had plenty of time to ponder and fester about the reopening of theaters; until this spring, I had spent an inordinate amount of time in them. And even without apocalyptic currents roiling around us, I had been increasingly disheartened by the conduct of audiences at large. With the risk factors ramped up and impatience bringing so many of us to weird breaking

points, I shudder to imagine the cinema-as-Thunderdome future that may be in store. Movies are a luxury and seeing them collectively in theaters is a luxury that, speaking only for myself, can wait.

Meanwhile, I can indulge in the barely second-tier privilege of watching current releases at home. Bill and Ted Face the Music, for example.

It is a testament to the patience and optimism of my long-suffering parents that in 1989 I (with my younger brother as accomplice) was able to convince them that we should, as a family, see Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure in the theater. It took some years for me to live this down; I probably still have some psychic debt yet unpaid. As much as my brother and I loved the movie, my parents hated it. I see, with the benefit of three decades of hindsight, that it wasn’t really a movie for them, or for us. Although I loved the doofy SoCal affect of the protagonists (which I think is what rankled the parents in equal measure) and the time-traveling adventure of the thing, neither I nor they could really see past the broad strokes. By 1991, a sort of “fool me once” methodology went into effect, so it wasn’t until VHS rental that I would see Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.

Consequently it has left a much shallower impression on me. And, frankly, it didn’t beg another installment. When rumors

began circulating a few years ago of Wyld Stallyns getting the band back together, I was ... perplexed. But now it’s happened and the world is a better place for it.

Thirty years later, Bill (Alex Winters) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) still haven’t written the song prophesied to bring humanity together and repair all of reality. Now they’ve got a hard deadline. They reclaim the time-travelling phone booth and plunge ever-further into the future in attempts to steal the song from themselves. Meanwhile their daughters (Samara Weaving and Brigetter Lundy-Paine, who both give revelatory, nuanced, next-level hilarious performances) look to the past, curating and synthesizing influences to build their dads the greatest band ever assembled.

Sure, it’s a silly movie about aged-out rockers. But there is a level of care and contemplation, particularly in the characterizations, that defies dismissal. And it leaves us with a sense of connectivity, succession and hope for the future that may be hard to carry back into the shitty world of 2020, but feels good to sit with for a while. On one’s own couch. PG13. 92M. STREAMING, BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. ● John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

Illuminated by a waxing crescent moon, Cock Robin Island Bridge crosses the Eel River beneath the glorious night sky. The lights of Ferndale glow as a pot of gold at the end of the Milky Way’s arch, where the core of our galaxy rises above the horizon. The planet Jupiter is the brightest point in the sky, while its sister planet Saturn is the lesser point to Jupiter’s lower left. Out of view to the right is the mouth of the Eel River.

etween Loleta and Ferndale, and a little to the west, the Eel River broadens and wraps itself around Cock Robin Island before depositing its fresh water into the Pacific Ocean. The island itself contains private property but connecting it to the mainland on the north side is one of Humboldt’s unique bridges, the publicly accessible Cock Robin Island Bridge.

Cock Robin Island Bridge’s one narrow lane offers little room to maneuver; it is barely wide enough to accommodate both a car and a pedestrian or bicyclist simultaneously, and feels very close to the river’s surface — which is particularly broad here — making the journey feel longer than its approximately 750-foot span. It was a slow drive across at night to take a photograph, with thoughts of the black depths to either side swimming in

my mind. I don’t know how deep it really is, but it seemed deep enough. The bridge feels both narrower and longer at night.

The Pedrazzini Boat Ramp on the north side of the bridge offers public access to the lower Eel River, with a wide turn-out for vehicles. Though the boat launch was built in the early 2000s, I’ve found stories of folks fishing off Cock Robin Island Bridge as far back as 1935. I would love to know when the bridge itself was built but haven’t come across that information yet. l To keep abreast of David Wilson’s most current photography or purchase a print, visit or contact him www.mindscapefx.com or follow him on Instagram at @david_wilson_mfx and on Twitter @davidwilson_mfx .

George Agis Cozyris, PhD. was born in Heraklion, Crete (Greece) on June 25th, 1937.

He passed away from natural causes on August 19th, 2020 in Eureka, CA at the age of 83.

George is survived by his sister Chrysanthi “Chryssi” Antoniadi (Xrisi Kozyri), his nephews Alexandros Patsis, Agis Patsis, great nephew Alexandros Patsis of Athens, Greece; his three children, Trevor Cozyris of Santa Cruz, CA, Kali Cozyris of Eureka, CA, and Kristian Cozyris of Edmond, OK; his grandchildren, Amalia Cozyris and Claire Cozyris in Edmond, OK; his former wife, Linda Steele-Clark; and his beloved cat, Kitsi. George is preceded in death by his parents, Agissilaos Cozyris and Amalia Cozyris (Ilya Livykou), as well as his sister Eva Patsis of Athens, Greece.

George arrived in the United States onboard a ship in 1956 in order to pursue an education at both the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles. He eventually obtained five college degrees in Cinema, Theatre Arts, and Telecommunications, and went on to become a film/communications professor for 40 years. He became a proud, naturalized citizen of the United States in 1972.

George started working for the 20th Century Fox studio in Hollywood in 1960 as a screenplay writer in the Story Department, working later at Paramount and Columbia pictures where he wrote the synopsis for the Academy Award-nominated screenplay for the western The Professionals and later, helped rework the script for Star Wars. During his time in Hollywood, he met many famous people, including Alfred Hitchcock, from whom he took classes in directing, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Natalie Wood, who was his date for a Hollywood dance.

George was a member of the Writers Guild of America, the union of professional Hollywood film and TV writers, the International Theater Institute, the American Film Institute, and the graduate students’ chapter of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE).

George also worked in theatre, adapting and directing many books and plays for the stage including Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer and Alain Resnais’ “Hiroshima Mon Amour,” one of his favorite films. Before he came to America, George wrote and directed several productions for the Orwo Theatre in Athens, Greece, and was an assistant director in many of the professional theatre productions that starred his mother, one of the leading ladies of Greek theatre, motion pictures and radio/ television (Ilya Livykou starred in 84 feature length films, over 120 stage productions for the National Theatre of Greece, and hundreds of appearances on radio and television). George also directed and edited dramatic and documentary programs for Radio Athens, the Broadcasting Network of the Greek Armed Forces, and the National Broadcasting Institute of Greece.

After his writing and directing career, George became a respected and revered instructor and colleague. He taught at Solano College, UC Davis and UC Berkeley, Cal State Hayward, Wayne State University, Humboldt State University, College of the Redwoods and the Lebanese American University in Byblos, Lebanon. Over the course of his teaching career, George taught over 75 different courses in cinema, film, theatre production and

telecommunications. He served on a variety of guidance committees for student candidates for the M.A. and Ph.D. degree in Communication and Theatre Arts. His book, Christian Metz and the Reality of Film is sourced and cited in several books/courses on film and cinema and earned him a spot in the book Fifty Key Contemporary Thinkers: From Structuralism to Postmodernity, a book that surveys the most important figures who have influenced post-war thought.

A true Renaissance man, George lived his passions, including cooking and making people happy through food! In the 1980s, George and his wife, Linda, owned and operated The Sandwich Factory, a Greek-American deli in Old Town, Eureka. It was known for its many Greek delicacies and George’s famous Greek Fudge Brownies.

George and Linda also owned and operated the fashion boutiques Treasures of Atlantis, Atlantis, and Diva Boutique in Eureka, Sacramento and Mendocino, CA. George also tried his hand at real estate, earning his license and selling and showing homes for a few years. He loved spearfishing and swimming, was a prolific poet, writing nearly 400 poems in his retirement, a voracious reader and lifelong learner. He studied the Greek linear B alphabet and earned a degree in electronic repair in his retirement. George was also an athlete in his early years, earning letters in track and field events at Athens College, most notably javelin, shotput and discus. He spoke several languages including Latin, French, Italian and modern and classical Greek. Though he taught at the university level for decades and was impeccably fluent, English was a foreign language for him.

George was also an animal lover/rescuer who kept bags of cat and dog food in the trunk of his car, feeding strays he met on the streets of Athens and the hills of Crete, doing the same when he emigrated to America. He was never without a beloved pet, usually many.

George will be remembered as a loving father and teacher. He always provided for his family and was known for leaving little surprises for his kids, like a 6-pack of diet Pepsi on the driver’s seat of his teenage daughter’s car and a $5 bill taped to her steering wheel. He would often “find” a $20 bill “on the ground” (his pocket) and give it to his kids.

Whatever his family asked for, he provided, sometimes preceded by the flaring of his famously passionate but short-lived temper if it was a last minute “need” that was hard to procure. He was charming, witty, enormously well read and erudite. He was a proud Greek, exclaiming often that “Everything is Greek!” and showing the Greek root to nearly every word. If his kids asked him a question, no matter how simple an answer was needed or expected, they would always get a professorial-sized lecture. (“Sorry I was late. I asked my dad how to spell ‘arthritis’”.)

Due to the pandemic, there will not be a memorial at this time, but the family is planning a celebration of life at a later date. Should friends desire, memorial donations may be made to an organization dear to George’s heart: Sequoia Humane Society, 6073 Loma Avenue, Eureka, Ca, 95503. www.sequoiahumane.org.

One of George’s favorite quotes is from his own relative, the Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis, and is the epitaph on Kazantzakis’ grave in Heraklion, Crete: “I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.”

You are free now, Dad. Your family loves you eternally.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to fee and clear owner− ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon− sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop− erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa− tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
