November 3rd, 2020, marks the most important election of our lives. We have grave concerns that President Trump and the Republicans have failed to manage COVID-19, ignored the reality of climate change, intensified racial injustice, and caused the loss of many American lives. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s Not Too Late To Have An Impact Here are three things you can do in the next few weeks leading up to the election: Get out the vote: Encourage all your friends, family, and acquaintances to make sure they are registered to vote and have a voting plan.

Make some calls: Phone banking to motivate others to mail in their ballots or get to the polls.

Donate: If you can, contribute directly to a campaign that stands for causes you believe in.

There are two organizations to contact to help get out the vote, make calls, and donate: Swingleft.org | Bidenvolunteers.com Now is the time for Action

We Know Why Editor: The New York Times has told us why Trump is so anxious to get re-elected (Pro-Trump Caravan Winds Through Humboldt,” posted Oct. 3). Twenty years of Trump tax info tells us that he is facing a devastating financial future as soon as he is out of office. He is hundreds of millions in debt due in the next few years.

His tax history is in audit. He has paid only $750 in taxes in each of his first two years in office and paid nothing in 10 earlier years.

An audit on the legitimacy of a tax refund he received is likely to cost him over $100 million. Most of Trump’s core businesses, that he refused to divest himself of, his golf courses and hotels, report losing millions year after year. Revenue from The Apprentice is drying up. He sold all his stocks that might now have helped him, the tax audit and his $300 million in loans loom over him in the next four years.

Trump’s refusal to divest himself of his businesses is because while he is in office they are sources of income from lobbyists, foreign officials seeking favors and more.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

paid at least $397,602 to Trump’s Washington hotel. Millions come to him from overseas businesses.

If he fails to get re-elected, he will be facing a terrible future that possibly includes prison. He is a desperate and fearfilled man, which is why he will not say that if he loses he will relinquish the White House peacefully.

‘Impossible to Breathe’ Editor: This is a humanitarian plea (NCJ Daily, Oct. 1).

For the last several days, the air quality in Hoopa has been over 500 points (see purpleair.com). The scale for pollution tops out at 500 so it must be nearly impossible to breathe there. I am requesting that the cities of Arcata and Eureka, surrounding towns, nonprofit organizations, private building owners and the county itself immediately set up emergency clean air shelters. We have large empty buildings — community centers, vets halls, large vacant stores and other buildings — where we can start offering respite today.

We must offer emergency and immediate housing to anyone from Hoopa or any area in Humboldt County that is experiencing air quality worse than 200 on the scale.

We in Humboldt County are one large community and we must help each other out when there is a critical need. Now is such a time. We must act quickly as this is an emergency.

Please, this is a humanitarian crisis.

‘Really?!’

Editor: The Oct. 2 San Francisco Chronicle has an Associated Press item about 135 players and staff of San Jose State University’s football team coming here for pre-season football practice (“After COVID Restricts Contact Sports in Santa Clara County, HSU Provides Space for San Jose State University Football Team to Practice,” posted Sept.

30). Really?! I like football, but importing 135 new possible sources of coronavirus increases our infection risk, maybe even without them agreeing to enforce our local coronavirus prevention and quarantine requirements on themselves. Also, players who get the virus add to our already-maxed out local health care system. Am I missing something here?

Jeff Knapp, Arcata

‘Never Guessed’ Editor: Thank you so much for this story on Bob Talmadge (“The Red Streak,” Oct. 1). As a Trinidad resident who watched his children grow up with my own at Trinidad school, I had no idea of Bob’s athletic achievements.

It is truly an amazing story that I would have never guessed in a hundred years. Inspirational and uplifting. Thank you. Thank you.

An Ounce of Prevention…

Editor: Thank you for the high rates of trauma article (“Reaching for Resilience,” Oct. 1). The program at McKinleyville Middle School is a wonderful effort, albeit intervention — helping children after they experience trauma — when their brains have suffered trauma integration in the psyche, becoming far more difficult to treat and alleviate.

We must start early childhood trauma prevention and treatment programs.

into walls trying to get services like play therapy, quality preschool enrollment or transportation to services for my students.

While First 5 playgroups are fun, they are not easily accessible to working parents or homeless folks, and only offer service referrals (which often are unavailable). My program, the Street Relief Preschool, for homeless children, serves the youngest, most traumatized kids. Yet community resources allocated to help, such as the McKinney-Vento Act grant through the Humboldt County Office of Education, fail to offer required outreach and transportation, and only offer mandated services if the child qualifies for special education services, when they just place the child in their autism childcare center, whether they are autistic or not (in violation of federal law).

Changing Tides Family Services, also in receipt of state/federal funding for homeless preschoolers, are not doing required outreach, making it difficult for a parent without transportation to enroll their child if any services are available by the time the parent finds out about them. Our community can do better to intervene at the earliest levels to lessen trauma when the child first begins experiencing it, or preventing it altogether.

Without services, by the time they reach kindergarten, these kids are, on average, a full year behind their housed peers and trauma is the biggest reason.

We either allocate funding now, or pay exponentially more later when trauma has led to higher rates of drop-out, domestic violence, incarceration and homelessness.

Editor: I live in Arcata and strongly support Michael Winkler for re-election to the City Council.

One of my biggest concerns for the future is climate change, and Michael stands out as someone whose impact on reducing our local carbon footprint outsizes the jurisdiction he serves. In 2005, Michael pushed our local Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA) to start the community choice energy program that is now its signature service.

Under Michael’s leadership, Arcata adopted practices and formal goals to reduce its carbon emissions now and into the future. On the board of RCEA, Michael led the agency to adopt the ambitious goal of clean and renewable electricity by 2025.

Michael has been endorsed by the Sierra Club, the local Building and Con-

edge of district formation in today’s fire world is an essential skill. Reliable funding in fire protection is and can be a life saver.

We endorse Estelle Fennell for Humboldt County Second District Supervisor 2020.

Deb Lake, Myers Flat

Editor: My name is Travis R. Low and I have lived in Fortuna my entire life. I was the owner and operator of Low’s Furniture for over 40 years. I can say I am deeply rooted in the Second District.

Estelle came to me during her first election term and introduced herself and asked for my support as our Second District Supervisor. I have witnessed her ability to communicate in many different situations facing our Second District.

Estelle has more than met those challenges and having an office located in the Fortuna Veteran’s Building has made her available at any given time to meet with the public. Estelle is caring, concerned and forthright in her ability to continue to represent all of Second District, her success speaks loudly. Please join me in voting for Estelle Fennell for Second District Supervisor.

Travis R. Low, Fortuna

Editor: Firestorms. Plague. Isolation. With so many extinction events evoking a sense of apocalypse, it is difficult to focus on the November election. Still, I want to add my voice to the many writing in support of Estelle Fennell’s re-election as county supervisor for the Second District.

Estelle has shown herself to be very committed to seeing this county and in particular her district through these turbulent times. Her professionalism, coalition-building skills, integrity, boundless energy and unprecedented accessibility have contributed to her many successes as our representative. There is still much work to be done. Estelle will build on this foundation, working with the creative and resourceful citizens of the Second District to move forward with a model of community-based renewal and recovery.

It is said, “Action is the antidote to despair.” Voting is hope in action. Democracy demands that we follow our vote by continuing to hold those elected accountable.

Lorraine Carolan, Briceland

Editor: Supervisor Fennell works hard for our Second District. She is a great supporter of our local fire service, mental health and is involved in most every aspect within our diverse district. She has kept us updated during this COVID-19 pandemic and has more than kept us informed on the fire conditions around us. She was updating the fire information the other evening past midnight. She is a hard worker who deserves another term. I urge you to reelect supervisor Estelle Fennell.

Dave Nicholson, Hydesville Editor: The understatement of today is, “These are difficult times.” The COVID-19 challenges, the largest wildfires recorded, the failing economy, limited health care and the division of our nation due to “leaders” who do not lead. Estelle Fennell is a good leader, a rare commodity today.

We have been involved with the local volunteer fire services for close to 30 years.

Estelle has been responsive to our needs. It takes experience to run our local government. It takes connections and relationships built over the years to bring results for our problems and needs.

Estelle helped our village of Fruitland Ridge when we were struggling to form a viable Fire Protection District. Her knowl-

Editor: Humboldt County is in desperate need of continued successful leadership and that is exactly why I will vote once again for Estelle Fennell for Second District supervisor.

One issue that is continually challenged is funding for our emergency services here in Humboldt County. Estelle tirelessly advocates for our law enforcement, fire departments and first responders over all, realizing that these services are key for Humboldt. This is why she is endorsed by first responders.

Estelle also works hard to bring new and improved infrastructure to Humboldt such as bridges, bus services, airport projects and broadband, just to mention a few.

Nobody has worked harder on the Potter Valley project. She sits on the Russian-Eel River commission and has looked after the interest of Humboldt County’s valuable Eel River resources.

I endorse Estelle Fennell for Second District supervisor for the continuous successful leadership in Humboldt County.

Ryan Rice, Fortuna Editor: Born and raised in Eureka, Joellen

Clark-Peterson graduated from U.C. Santa Cruz and returned to Humboldt County beginning her professional career focusing on community development, collaboration and communication. Her recent job as the director of the Arcata Chamber of Commerce and her current position with the N. California Small Business Development Center are examples of this career path.

At the same time, Joellen is not shy of new life journeys. Her first international trip was with the Peace Corps where she signed up to go to Romania, which, by the way, was to be her first airplane experience! While there, Joellen initiated an interchange with her students in Romania with Alice Birney School in Eureka and received support of supplies from the College of the Redwoods for the girls’ basketball club she started.

Joellen will bring a wealth of experience, energy, and enthusiasm to McKinleyville Community Services District.

Please vote for Joellen Clark-Peterson.

Thank you.

Linda Doerflinger, McKinleyville Editor: The McKinleyville Teachers Association is proud to announce our endorsement of incumbents Nicholas Som and Manuel Fonseca for the McKinleyville Union School District Board of Trustees. It is not common for a teachers union to endorse board candidates and is not something we take lightly.

We have taken this unprecedented step because these two candidates have led us wisely through these past few months of crisis as we grappled with the effects of COVID-19 on our educational system.

They have listened to, and actively sought out, input from all constituents, consistently asked the right questions of the district and made difficult decisions based on facts. Through all of this, they have unerringly kept their vision on the future of our district and how to best support our students academically and holistically as we move forward.

Som and Fonseca are in it for the long haul. They are not “one issue” candidates.

Being a board member is a difficult and often thankless job. Please join the educators of McKinleyville in voting for tried and true leadership: Nicholas Som and Manuel Fonseca.

Phyllis Nolan, McKinleyville Editor: On Sept. 16, 2017 there was an arson fire at one of Arcata’s town landmarks, the Presbyterian Church on the corner of 11th and G streets. Fortunately, it was a busy Saturday night with people walking by at

around 9 p.m. While one witness called 911 about the fire, another ran to the local fire station and rang the on duty firefighters.

The Arcata Fire Department was able to get to the fire quickly and extinguish the blaze before the fire reached the inside.

We could have lost the whole church building. Timing was everything.

Measure F will help fund the Arcata Fire Protection District’s three fire stations.

Having all three fire stations open allows for a minimum of time for firefighters to

respond to a call. On behalf of members of the Arcata Presbyterian Church, please vote yes on F on Nov. 3.

Huffman: I Hope Trump Recovers, ‘He Needs to Face Justice’

N

orth Coast Congressmember Jared Huffman, one of President Trump’s most vociferous critics, offered the president some well wishes Oct. 1 after learning he and Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19, though the message came with a barbs attached.

“We all knew an October surprise was coming, but I never imagined it would be COVID-19 finally catching up to the Denier-in-Chief,” Huffman wrote on Twitter.

“I hope the best for (Hope) Hicks, Trump and the rest of them, regardless of karma.”

A few hours later, Huffman — who has changed his Twitter handle to “Rep. Jared ‘Please Wear a Mask’ Huffman — again took to the platform, retweeting a report from CNN confirming the president and first lady had tested positive.

“I hope he recovers fully. He needs to face justice,” wrote Huffman, who was one of the first members of Congress to call for impeachment.

California Sen. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee who has also been sharply critical of Trump and his administration, also took to Twitter after

learning the news but took a markedly more restrained tone than Huffman.

“Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery,” Harris wrote. “We’re keeping them and the entire Trump family in our thoughts.”

North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire, meanwhile, took the news as an opportunity to urge people to take the virus seriously.

“7.3 million Americans have been stricken by the coronavirus,” he wrote.

“As the world’s public health experts have been saying, the coronavirus is insidious and doesn’t discriminate. Thinking of all those impacted by this devastating virus, including the President. Wear a mask.”

Huffman followed up on the issue the next morning, retweeting a message from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) opining that COVID-19 didn’t “sneak up” on Trump, intoning the White House should have been more cautious about the virus.

“Really important point,” Huffman wrote. “He has been amazingly reckless.”

Maze of Measures

Your guide through the ins and outs of nine local ballot measures facing voters in November

By Thadeus Greenson and Kimberly Wear editor@northcoastjournal.com

Boxes of ballots wait to be processed and counted at the Humboldt County Elections Office in 2018. Thadeus Greenson

W

hen local residents get their ballots in the mail this week, they’ll face a bevy of choices. In addition to the race for the White House dominating all national airwaves and news sites, there are a dozen statewide propositions and races to represent in the North Coast in Congress and the California Assembly, not to mention 14 school board races, more than two dozen candidates vying for seats on four special districts, a runoff for a seat on the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and seven city council races to follow. You would be forgiven for finding it all a bit dizzying.

In Humboldt County, voters will also face nine ballot measures — up or down referendums that will decide how much residents pay in taxes, how they elect representatives, how involved they want the government in building affordable housing, fire response times and whether school buildings get fixed up. Here’s a look at each. Remember to check your voter registration status by visiting www. co.humboldt.ca.us/election/voter-status and, if need be, register at www.registertovote.ca.gov.

Measure A

With the unanimous endorsement of the Arcata City Council, Measure A asks

10

voters to approve a special tax that would charge landowners $37 per parcel, per year, with the projected $175,000 in annual revenue going toward funding improvements and maintenance of city owned or controlled parks, trails, forests and open spaces. The money would be used to construct new trails, acquire property or conservation easements, and maintain and improve existing spaces and facilities.

Because the tax earmarks the revenue for this specific purpose, it requires a twothirds vote to pass. It does not include a sunset date and would remain in effect until repealed or amended by another initiative.

Arguing against the measure on behalf of the Humboldt County Taxpayers League, President Uri Driscoll and Vice President Kent Sawatzky wrote that the city’s forest management plan was designed to cover the costs of maintaining parks and forests through revenue from sustainable timber management, which “has worked for many decades.”

“Many of us enjoy the surrounding trails that have been created by this model,” Driscoll and Sawatzky wrote. “If that model is no longer functional, we should have a more involved conversation as to why it is not before burdening city residents with an additional and unnecessary tax in a time when essential services are being slashed.”

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

But those in favor of the measure argue that with COVID-19 significantly cutting into the city’s sales tax revenue, it can “play an important role in our city’s recovery efforts” by helping maintain parks and open spaces, and possibly preserve new lands under threat of “urban encroachment.”

“The passage of this measure will provide a reliable source of funding that will allow Arcata to protect, develop and maintain natural resources such as forested hillsides, wetlands and streams, as well as recreation areas and agricultural lands now and into the future,” an argument in favor of the measure states.

Measure B

Also holding the unanimous support of the Arcata City Council, Measure B would allow the city to more aggressively pursue the development of affordable housing within city limits.

Article 34 of the California Constitution prohibits governments from building or financing low income housing projects without voter approval. Back in 1992, Arcata voters passed Measure L, which set an affordable housing limit at 5 percent of the city’s housing stock, which by the city’s calculations, would equate to 401 of the 8,019 housing units within city limits.

The city says it has provided loans or grants to help with the creation of about

380 low income units to date, meaning it would only have the ability to help with the building of about 21 more. But the city’s 2019 Housing Element estimates it needs 237 more low or very low income housing units to meet demands over the coming decade and a more than decade-long trend has seen private industry repeatedly fail to meet low income housing demands countywide.

And that’s why the city is putting forward Measure B, which would allow the city to have a hand in financing or building an additional 220 or so units and open the doors to federal and state financing.

A diverse group of community stakeholders — including Arcata House Partnership Executive Director Darlene Spoor, Open Door Community Health Centers CEO Tory Starr, Humboldt State University Executive Director of Initiatives Connie Stewart, former Mayor Alex Stillman and homeless advocate Nezzie Wade — wrote an argument in support of the measure, which notes that it has no fiscal impact on taxpayers and does not approve any specific project.

“There is a shortage of affordable housing in Arcata, despite continued efforts to meet the great need,” they wrote.

“We still see seniors on fixed incomes and working families struggle to pay rent.

This ballot measure, if approved, will help provide more housing over the years for

OPEN FOR DELIVERY, TO-GO & CURBSIDE PICK UP

low income seniors, families, the formerly homeless, and people with disabilities.”

No group has stepped forward in opposition to Measure B, which requires a simple majority vote to pass.

Measure C

Eureka voters will be deciding this election whether to take a new course in determining who represents them via Measure C, which would change the city’s election process to what is known as ranked choice voting for mayor and council seats.

As the name implies, ranked choice differs from the traditional method by allowing voters to rank candidates by preference. For example, in a three-person race, a voter would order the candidates as their first, second or third choice.

If any candidate were to receive a majority of “first” designations, the process ends there. However, if that doesn’t happen, the person with the fewest “first” votes is out of the race and anyone who voted for them would have their second choice selection counted.

The process continues from there until one candidate takes a majority of the votes.

“RCV is also called ‘instant runoff’ because it allows a majority winner to be determined in just one election,” the impartial analysis of Measure C by City Attorney Robert Black states. “It is a substitute both for a separate runoff election and for a method in which a contest with more than two competitors can be won with the highest vote-getter having less than a majority.”

Currently, a Eureka candidate who receives the most votes wins, regardless of how many people are running or how close the race ends up. Races for mayor and the council’s First Ward seat in 2018 ended without the winning candidates receiving a majority of the vote, for example, so ranked choice voting could have come into play and shifted the outcome of those races.

If Measure C passes with a simple majority vote, Eureka’s first ranked choice election would take place in November of 2022. The process would only apply to the mayor and council races, not county, state or federal offices, or to any ballot measures.

The idea has been floated in Eureka for more than a decade but never really caught hold until now, with the city council deciding in June to put the potential change to the city charter before voters.

Should Eureka voters adopt Measure C, it will be the second major change to city elections in recent years. Back in 2016, residents approved ward-only elections

for council members, with the mayor continuing to be selected by a citywide vote. Two years ago — for the first time since the Prohibition era — three council members won their seats based solely on votes from those who lived within the geographical boundaries of the ward they represent.

According to the argument in favor of Measure C submitted by supporters, the ranked choice method comes with a number of advantages, such as encouraging more candidates to run and providing broader representation because it “empowers voters to fully express their opinion, and frees us from ‘lesser of two evils choices.’”

California cities such as San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and San Leandro already use ranked choice, as does the state of Maine.

“RCV encourages a wider range of candidates and inspires higher voter turnout,” the argument in favor states. “In winner-take-all elections, voters are often forced to settle for uninspiring candidates.

Many do not vote at all. By allowing voters to rank their choices, from the candidate they want most to the one they want least, RCV encourages more candidates to run.”

No argument against Measure C was submitted to the county Elections Office.

Measure D

The measure would authorize $5 million in school bonds to raise an estimated $312,000 annually for South Bay and Pine Hill Schools by assessing a 3-cent charge per $100 of assessed value for property owners in the district, which equates to about $60 annually for a $200,000 home.

The funds would go toward repairing leaky roofs on school buildings, giving students access to modern technology, modernizing classrooms and making energy efficiency improvements. Spending the bond money would fall under the oversight of a citizens’ committee and the measure prohibits the school from spending the funds on administration or salaries.

There is no formal opposition to the measure, which requires a 55-percent vote to pass.

Measure E

Since 2004, the city of Trinidad has had a 0.75 percent additional sales tax to help fund city services. Measure E asks city voters to continue that tax, which brings in about $100,000 — roughly 15 percent of the city’s budget — annually. The city argues the tax is “primarily paid for by tourists visiting Trinidad’s restaurants, buyContinued on next page »

ing gas or taxable items from the market” and seeing as the city has a population of just 357, that’s probably true.

“We’re glad to live in such a special place but tourists who want to enjoy it need to contribute their fair share as well,” states the argument in favor of the measure, which was penned by Mayor Steve Ladwig and former Mayor Dwight Miller, who note that the Humboldt Taxpayers League has come out in support of the measure, which requires a simple majority vote to pass.

Measure F

A kind of do-over after Measure R came up just short in the March primary, Measure F would increase the Arcata Fire Protection District special tax paid by district property owners in an effort to restore services to the level they were at prior to Measure R’s failure.

The district — which serves 37,000 people spread over a 62-square-mile area that includes McKinleyville, Bayside, Manila, Jacoby Creek and Arcata — had operated for 14 years without any tax increases before going to voters in March, when officials said the situation had grown dire and warned cuts would follow if the tax measure didn’t pass. After it fell just short — with 64 percent of the vote when it needed 66 percent — the district began rotating station closures and cut eight staff positions. That means slower response times, which the district warns could lead to higher insurance premiums for local residents.

If passed, the tax would impose varying annual taxes on different types of property — $75 for a mobile home, $98 for a single family residence, $338 for an apartment building with 10 or more units and $486 for a commercial property, to name a few — that would combine to bring in

about $1.9 million a year to the district, which has been operating at a deficit in recent years, depleting its reserves. The additional revenue would allow it to re-hire staff, fully staff its three stations, rebuild its reserves and repair or replace fire trucks and other equipment as necessary.

Arguing against the measure, Driscoll of the Humboldt County Taxpayer League points out that 95 percent of the district’s calls aren’t for fires but medical assistance and posits that the additional tax would place to heavy a burden on community members already reeling from the economic impacts of COVID-19.

In an argument in favor of the measure, district Board President Nicole Johnson and Vice President Randy Mendosa argue that the measure really will dictate firefighters’ ability to save lives and property.

“Five minutes can make a huge difference in saving lives and preventing major property damage,” they state. “Budget cuts have already forced rotating fire station closures. This has created terrible conditions for both the community and our firefighters.”

The measure needs a two-thirds vote to pass.

Measure G

The city of Fortuna is asking residents to extend a 0.75 percent transaction and use tax for an additional eight years, which would push its slated expiration date back into March of 2033 and keep an estimated $1.4 million in revenue rolling into city coffers for the next decade-plus.

The tax — which equates to 75 cents added onto every $100 spent on taxable goods and services within city limits — was passed by voters in 2018, its revenue going toward “essential city services” like parks maintenance, public safety and

Falling For Gooseberries

We are back!

Roasted, in tangy curd and on cheesecake

hen my friend Debbi told me she was busy making gooseberry jam one evening, I had a vivid image of goose-shaped berries dangling on a vine. Although I still haven’t seen the actual plant, I have been enjoying the cape gooseberries from the farmers market. I learned about their health benefits, such as possibly helping high blood pressure, improving bone strength and anti-inflammatory properties. And I truly love their singular flavor, the sugary autumn scent and their gorgeous golden color. My first bite tasted like a juicy, sweet and tart tomato, but a handful later I could taste delightful flavors of strawberry, preserved lemon, mango and maybe pineapple. My taste buds were dancing and I was thinking, where have they been in my 50-plus years?

I was excited to offer them plain to my family but was not very successful winning anyone over. So, I started experimenting, using them in sweet and savory dishes. I made salad, curd, chutney and tarts. When I made a crustless creme fraîche cheesecake with the curd and roasted gooseberries, I had my friends Henry and Carol taste test it. They said it’s a real winner — they loved its lightness and creaminess with the unique flavor of the berries. (It’s also gluten-free, by the way.) That’s the story of my discovery of gooseberries. Let me know what you do with them.

Gooseberry Cheesecake Make the gooseberry curd (below) ahead or while the cake is baking. You can roast the gooseberries in the oven with the cheesecake for about 25 minutes (see below).

Butter an 8-inch springform pan well and lay an 8-inch circle of parchment paper on the bottom. Heat the oven to 325 F. In a large mixing bowl, add the crème fraîche, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, salt, vanilla, lemon zest and cornstarch.

Using an electric hand mixer, beat all ingredients until they are combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time until just incorporated.

Pour the mixture into the springform pan and wrap the outside of the pan with heavy-duty foil to cover the bottom and sides to prevent the water bath from leaking into the pan. Set a kettle to boil. Place the springform pan in a deep roasting pan and set it on the lower-middle rack of the oven. Pour the boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.

Bake for 50 minutes. Turn off the oven and crack open the door (wedge a wooden spoon in the door if needed). Let the cheesecake sit there for another 30 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 3 hours.

Run a thin knife around the edge of the cake before opening the spring lock and removing the sides of the pan. Slide a thin spatula between the parchment paper and bottom of the pan to carefully transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter.

Spread on a layer of curd and top it with fresh or roasted gooseberries.

Cape Gooseberry Curd ½ cup finely chopped gooseberries 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup sugar A pinch of salt 2 whole eggs 2 egg yolks, separated 5 tablespoons butter, softened 1 tablespoon cornstarch In a stainless steel saucepan, whisk gooseberries, lemon juice, sugar and salt together. Add the eggs, yolks and cornstarch, whisking well. Cook on medium-low heat, continuing to whisk. When the mixture starts to thicken, add butter, still whisking constantly. Once you see the first bubble from the curd, turn the stove off and remove the pan from heat. Strain the curd through a mesh sieve into a bowl and let it cool for 20 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

The San Jose State University Spartans hold their first practice in Humboldt State University’s Redwood Bowl.

‘Their Success is our Success’ HSU welcomes San Jose State football to campus, leaving health officials ‘disappointed’

ootball is returning to Humboldt State University’s Redwood Bowl but it’s not without controversy and will likely do little to appease Lumberjack fans who frantically fundraised and networked in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the school from axing the sport two years ago.

HSU announced Sept. 30 that it would be “partnering” with San Jose State University to allow its Spartan football team to relocate to Arcata, where players will live, study remotely and practice on campus for the indefinite future. The move comes as the Spartan team was frantically looking to prepare for the Oct. 24 season opener for the Mountain West Conference, which had announced in August it was suspending fall sports in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic before reversing course last month.

But San Jose State University is located in Santa Clara County, which sits in California’s restrictive “substantial” risk tier and has yet to OK contact sports. The Spartan team, which has only been holding limited individual and small group workouts but had yet to don pads and have a full-contact practice, submitted a “Return to Football” plan with Santa Clara County Public Health. But the department had yet to

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

approve it by Sept. 30, which apparently prompted the team’s move to Arcata.

And that decision to relocate 135 players and staff members from San Jose to HSU’s campus indefinitely — it’s unclear if or when the team will be able to return to its home stadium and whether it might wind up playing home games in Arcata — seems to have circumvented both the Santa Clara and Humboldt counties’ public health departments.

“Public Health was not a part of the decision-making process,” said Humboldt County Health Officer Teresa Frankovich. “I have not been contacted by San Jose State University. However, I was contacted [Oct. 1] by the emergency preparedness coordinator for Humboldt State University to let me know about the plan to move forward.”

The same day Frankovich was answering questions from the media, Spartan student athletes, coaches and staff were slated to begin arriving on the HSU campus.

According to an HSU spokesperson, the plan is for the entire Spartan team to live in a “bubble” in an HSU campus residence hall, “separate from all HSU students,” with dining provided to the team in the residence hall “to further limit team interaction with students, faculty and staff.” The team will be given access to the Redwood

Bowl during certain hours each day and allowed to use the Student Recreation Center outside its current hours of operation, with provisions for the facility to be sanitized before and after the Spartan team’s use. (An HSU spokesperson tells the Journal there will be no impact to HSU student athletes using the facility.)

The Spartan team was tested for COVID-19 before departing for Arcata (all tests were negative) and was to be tested again three days after arrival, with follow-up testing conducted weekly thereafter until the Mountain West Conference requires more frequent testing in the run-up to opening day. According to HSU, SJSU is solely responsible for conducting the testing of its players and staff and local testing capacity will not be impacted, though HSU did not respond to an inquiry asking specifically who will be taking testing samples and where they will be processed.

A spokesperson for Santa Clara Public Health told the Journal that while the department understands “the desire of many sports teams to resume practice, just as many businesses are eager to resume” the county remains at “substantial” COVID-19 risk and is evaluating state guidelines and local factors in determining whether certain activities can “safely resume.”

“With response to a team holding practice in another county, we are very disappointed to see any team going outside the county to circumvent a process that was put in place to ensure the safety of its players and staff,” the spokesperson said.

While noting she was not consulted in the agreement reached between SJSU and HSU, and conceding that the nature of football — which sees teams of 50-plus players hit, tackle and pile atop one another for 60 minutes per game — makes it “higher risk” than other sports, Frankovich said her focus would be on supporting both universities in pulling this off as safely as possible with “minimal impact” locally. To this end, she said Public Health staff will assist with contact investigations in the event any Spartan player or staff member tests positive for the virus in an effort to contain any potential spread as quickly as possible.

The situation underscores both the pressure that major collegiate sports conferences are under to get players back on the field and the complexities of doing so safely, if that’s even possible.

Consider that while Frankovich and other county officials have repeatedly warned about the dangers of travel outside the local area, the Mountain West Conference includes teams in Idaho, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, as well as California. If the season begins

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

as scheduled, it would necessitate large groups of more than 100 people traveling from state to state to participate.

The conference hopes to ensure the safety of its staff and players with frequent testing, requiring teams and staff to be tested once a week until later this month, when it will require testing three times a week in the lead up to games. To facilitate this level of testing, the conference is allowing teams to use “point of care” COVID-19 tests, which take finger-prick blood samples instead of nasal swabs and return prompt results without having to be sent to a lab for testing. But the FDA only recently approved such tests, and to date their accuracy has varied greatly. The conference will require that any positive point-of-care test be confirmed by the more accurate — but time-consuming — polymerase chain reaction test.

The Spartan team — which went 5-7 last year — has stated it hopes to return to its home campus when Santa Clara County Public Health approves its plan, but it’s unclear when or if that will happen.

And if it doesn’t, it’s unclear whether the team will remain in Arcata for the duration of its season, playing its four home games at the Redwood Bowl.

While some have questioned whether the move to welcome the Spartan team to campus is financially driven, as HSU is in the midst of a budget deficit expected to reach $20 million over two years, the university spokesperson said it is not. The costs of service — including labor, facility usage and “institutional resources” — will be covered by SJSU, the spokesperson said, but that’s it. The university has declined to offer an exact dollar figure, saying it’s unknown as it is unclear how long the Spartan team will remain on campus.

“We are happy to support a CSU family member during a time of need,” HSU Athletics Director Jane Teixeira said in a press release. “Their success is our success.”

HSU’s decision to host the San Jose team comes just a little more than a month after HSU President Tom Jackson Jr. decided to welcome students back to campus residence halls despite Frankovich’s warnings it was unsafe to do so.

While it’s unclear where, SJSU is slated to play its home opener Oct. 24 against Air Force, which will be traveling with its 50-plus players and roster of coaches and staff from Colorado Springs to wherever the Spartan team calls home. ● Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Weekend Rain Could Kickstart Coastal King Season

poletskis.com

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

A

s the fall salmon season begins to wind down on the Klamath River, anglers will no doubt turn their attention to the late-fall coastal salmon runs. The Smith, Chetco and Eel rivers will take center stage for the next couple months. That is if we get some timely rain. The last few years, consistently targeting kings on any of these rivers was virtually impossible.

The rains that used to kick off the runs in September and October failed to materialize. By the time they arrived in late November and December, the salmon had no choice but to swim full speed toward spawning grounds. Historically, storms begin to line up offshore in early fall, bringing with them the first flow increases of the year. This signaled the first wave of salmon to move out of the estuaries and begin their migration up river. Then the next storm arrives and we repeat the cycle, pushing the older fish farther upriver and bringing in new fish from the salt. It’s a salmon conga line, if you will, resulting in a river with salmon from top to bottom — ideal conditions for fishermen. That’s the way it once was and what we’re all hoping for again.

The salmon are staging in the estuaries of the rain-dependent coastal rivers and the one wildcard is the weather.

But a change in our weather pattern is forthcoming. “It looks like we’ll start to see some light rain on Thursday evening,” said Kathleen Zontos of Eureka’s National Weather Service. “The rain will continue through Friday, then we’ll see some heavier precipitation on Saturday. In the Smith basin, we could see 2 to 3 inches over the course of this storm, with 3/4 to an inch and a half falling on Saturday. It looks like showers could linger through Sunday. The storm timeline will be similar in the Eel basin but with lower totals,” she said. “The upper Eel may see up to 1 inch, with the lower section getting 1 to 2 inches. Additional rain is predicted for later in the week but right now it doesn’t look significant.”

Looking ahead, the National Weather Service forecasts a chance for above normal precipitation for the week of Oct. 13-19.

For anglers looking to hit the rivers this weekend, the Smith may open to fishing

341 West Harris St., Eureka 707 445-3138

either Saturday or Sunday. Call the low flow closure hotline for North Coast rivers at 822-3164 before you make any plans.

As of Wednesday morning, all North Coast rivers subjected to low-flow fishing closures, including the Eel, Mad, Redwood Creek, Smith and Van Duzen, are closed.

Open river sections include the main stem Eel River from the paved junction of Fulmor Road to its mouth, the main stem Mad River from the Hammond Trail Railroad Trestle to its mouth and the main stem Smith River from the mouth of Rowdy Creek to its mouth. The department makes updated closure information available by recorded message by 1 p.m.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It’s the responsibility of anglers to call the number designated in the sport fishing regulations booklet and check the status of any river.

Dungeness crab testing underway

According to Christy Juhasz, an environmental scientist with CDFW Marine Region, the domoic acid test results for Trinidad should be posted this week. “The Eureka samples came into the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) lab late last week for the remaining Humboldt County tests,” said Juhasz. “Samples from other North Coast sites of PA/Manchester Beach, Fort Bragg/Usal and Crescent City are expected to come in early next week and that should conclude remaining northern California sites. It takes about one to one and a half weeks for test results to be posted.” For more information regarding recreational Dungeness crab fishing regulations and other crab species, visit the DFG Marine Region website at www. wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Marine/ Invertebrates/Crabs.

W.E. Roberts’ The Rivers

MUSIC

Quarantine Sing-a-long. Ongoing, 7 p.m. Virtual World, Online. See Oct. 8 listing.

By Gabrielle Gopinath

ooming from London, W.E. Roberts said of his new novel The Rivers, which is set in Humboldt County, “The book was written because I’m an actor, because I like a good story and I thought there was a story there,” Roberts explained, leaning forward into the screen. “I’m really an actor who came to writing late — an actor who writes. And I write for fun. The thing that has been wonderful is that people enjoy what I do.”

His voice is every bit as plummy and sonorous as you would expect from an actor who has worked on both sides of the Atlantic, spent years reading American novels on the BBC and voiced “heavy” characters in video games.

Born in Roseberg, Oregon, Roberts grew up there and on the Smith River near Crescent City. At Del Norte High School, he got involved in community theater and discovered a talent for accents. Studying drama at Humboldt State University led to a five-year stint as actor and director at the Oregon Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, which led in the late 1960s to a transatlantic move to pursue acting.

Roberts has lived in London since, building a resume of films and television series including Cold Mountain, Martin Chuzzlewit, Deathwish III, The Old Devils and Inspector Morse, in addition to voice work.

Researching The Rivers, his third book, gave him a reason to return to the landscapes of his childhood, staying at the Sandy Bar Ranch in Orleans and making forays to Somes Bar, Weitchpec, Klamath, Happy Camp, Shelter Cove and other local spots that appear in these pages. The result is an entertaining tale that’s equal parts mystery, travel narrative and historical fiction.

Like Roberts’ two previous mysteries, The Rivers is largely narrated by Arnie Rednapp, a San Francisco-based investigative journalist. Charlotte Wilcox Taylor hires Rednapp to get to the bottom of family rumors regarding her possible Native forebears. The mystery surrounding her biological mother’s foster parent, Laura Virginia Mayhew, stems from travels to northeastern Humboldt County around 1900 to work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a schoolteacher. She departed abruptly two years later, a mixed-race adopted daughter — Charlotte’s mother — in tow.

The affable Arnie proves good company as his yarn transports readers from a San Francisco drawing room to the densely forested, mountainous and river-cloven

Karuk lands of northeastern Humboldt County, here referred to as “the Rivers.” There, the story gets darker as his research project leads to passages of Northern California history involving the culturally sanctioned, racially motivated and frequently murderous forms of oppression meted out for generations by white colonists toward Native inhabitants.

While Rednapp’s research touches on history, the present-tense narrative emphasizes the resilience of Native culture and the progress Indigenous communities have made in recent decades, asserting rights over land and waterways, and recovering traditional cultural and spiritual practices as powerful tools with which to redress the fallout from genocide and generations of cultural damage.

The Rivers is more ambitious than Roberts’s earlier works, with a parallel structure that cuts between past and present.

Rednapp’s case cracks open with Laura Mayhew’s previously unread diary, written on the Rivers in the early 1900s, which becomes an epistolary device with excerpts interwoven with Rednapp’s discoveries.

The dialogue-driven prose proves well suited to narrating events in Arnie’s timeline, though it’s less convincing ventriloquizing voices from the past. Characterization of these figures is often accomplished in broad, speedy strokes. As pastiche, Mayhew’s voice lacks specificity and the quirky tropes of casual early 20th-century American speech that animate Mabel Reed and Mary Ellicott Arnold’s In the Land of the Grasshopper Song (one of Roberts’ historical sources) are largely absent from the diary entries. Printing those sections in a modified cursive script accentuates this divergence, for better and worse.

Characters based on historical figures from Humboldt’s distant or recent past make the novel something of a roman à clef for local readers. The Somes Bar miner and sawmiller Luther Hickox, born in 1873, appears, and contemporary cultural leaders including the late Amos Tripp inspired some depictions of latter-day figures in Karuk lands.

The Rivers is dedicated to the Karuk, Yurok, Hoopa and Tolowa tribes, and it’s enhanced by its author’s familiarity with and respect for Native culture. Roberts presents Indigenous cultural practice with care, incorporating Native and regional voices. He prefaces the narrative

with a poem by Will C.S. Harling of the Mid-Klamath Watershed Council, closes it with a poem by Shaunna Oteka McCovey from The Smokehouse Boys, reproduces a geometric band design by Brian D. Tripp on the cover and thanks a long list of tribal and community leaders for help with the research process.

Mystery fans may read The Rivers as an entertaining whodunit, while others may be drawn to its account of one woman’s search for her Native origins. But the implicit message of Roberts’s book makes it an especially timely read in 2020.

Arnie’s investigations present a gentle yet compelling case regarding America’s need to come to grips with the realities of its past — even, or especially, the shameful and disturbing parts — in order to move beyond its legacy.

“The truth about our history has been ignored for so long,” Roberts said. “It’s really important that we embrace that. And I think the more we expose these things to scrutiny, the more we can express them in human form, the better. We need to expand empathy, you know? We need for people to get in other people’s shoes and travel part of their way in order to have change.

“A story that people can relate to,” he concluded, smiling, “can help with that.” l The Rivers is available at most local bookstores and can be ordered through Amazon.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

ast time, I discussed Thomas Edison and Emile Berliner, the two main protagonists in early attempts to reproduce sound. Edison invented a machine that could both record and play back sound — his earliest recording of “Mary Had a Little Lamb� on a tinfoil-wrapped cylinder dates to 1877.

Edison’s phonograph had limited application, mostly as a novelty, and within a few years Berliner far outstripped the “Wizard of Menlo Park.� His gramophone (whence “Grammys�) set the stage for what became a booming recording industry. While researching this story, I happened upon several “sound bites� that are too good not to share.

Earliest Sound Recording: Curiously, Edison’s machine wasn’t the first to record sound, just the first to play it back. Twenty years earlier, French printer Edouard-LĂŠon Scott de Martinville used a horn with a vibrating diaphragm attached to a thin brush to make the sound of a human voice visible. His wavy images were recorded on soot-coated paper that he wrapped around a hand-cranked cylinder. He thought that the waves might be readable by humans — think of the scene in The Matrix where Cypher is reading the green digital rain — not that they could be played back aloud. Incredibly, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley were recently able to convert the squiggles into audio, playing back a snippet of someone singing the song “Au Clair de la Lune,â€? recorded April 9, 1860.

(Listen at www.northcoastjournal.com.)

Talking Books: Think talking books are a modern idea? French writer and playwright Cyrano de Bergerac toyed with the notion in a satirical tale published posthumously in 1657. Cyrano rockets to the moon, where one of the four-legged locals shows him a talking book “that had no pages or printed letters. It was a book to be read not with eyes but with ears.�

78s: Virtually all disc records made between 1898 and 1960 played at a speed of

78.26 revolutions per minute, called “78s� by collectors. That seemingly odd speed, standardized in 1925, derives from the 3,600 rpm motors then used in electric record players with a 46-tooth gear wheel (3600/46 = 78.26).

Shellac: Until the introduction of PVC (vinyl) high fidelity LPs by Columbia Records in 1948, most 78s were shellac, a resin secreted by female lac bugs on trees in India and Thailand. Records were typically made of one-third shellac and two-thirds pulverized limestone filler, with cotton fibers added for strength. Compared to later vinyl discs, shellac records were brittle, used comparatively wide grooves (hence short playing times) and were abrasive, needing frequent needle changes.

A Voice from Someone Born Three Centuries Ago: Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, born Oct. 26, 1800 (technically still the 18th century, since there’s no year zero), made two recordings in 1889 on an Edison cylinder phonograph, including a couple of lines from Hamlet. Von Moltke, chief of staff of the Prussian army and later of the German army, was instrumental in unifying Germany. His is the only voice from the 18th century for which we have a recording.

Nipper: The title of Francis Barraud’s painting of his dog Nipper, “His Master’s Voice,� became the logo of Emile Berliner’s Gramophone Company, and subsequently of the Victor and HMV record labels and of RCA, the Radio Corporation of America.

Barraud had been taken with the sight of Nipper (probably a Jack Russell) looking puzzled on hearing the artist’s voice coming out of an Edison cylinder phonograph.

When he tried to sell the painting to an Edison rep in London he was told, “Dogs don’t listen to phonographs.� So he repainted the scene, substituting a Berliner gramophone for Edison’s machine, leading to one of the most reproduced logos in history. l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@yahoo.com) can attest to the fragility of shellac 78s.

Dick Johnson is Dead

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD. Netflix, as both bellwether and arbiter of contemporary taste, has long led the drive to popularize and, at least to some extent, legitimize documentary movies in the mainstream. Not that the medium needed legitimizing among movie nerds, of course, but established norms have traditionally pushed all but the noisiest documentaries to the fringe. They were (are) rarely shown in theaters, at least on any meaningful scale, were generally deemed unworthy of investment by studios because they were unlikely to generate profits on the usurious scale such enterprises so covet and were generally treated as a sort of shy, awkward relative of scripted movies.

Nevermind the fact that the documentary form is, in fact, the truest root of cinema, the beginning of the beginning. A person pointing a motion picture camera at something and documenting it is an act that transcends fatuous distinctions; it is cinema.

Admittedly, I’ve generally been drawn more strongly to elevated stylization and imaginative fancy of scripted movies. This may be due as much to the socialization and conditioning we have all been subject to as to aesthetic preference. It could also be because real life has often seemed like a real son of a bitch to contend with and works of fiction, even at their most brutal and interrogative, feel like a soothing refraction of reality, if not an outright escape. So like so many of us, I’ve been guilty of shortchanging the cultural value of the documentary, even while I’ve enjoyed some notable examples down the decades.

During those decades, Kirsten Johnson has been behind the camera on dozens of projects, both short form and feature

Dick Johnson is Dead

length, but primarily documentaries. She released her feature-length directorial debut, Cameraperson (currently streaming on the Criterion Channel), in 2016. In it, she cut together footage from projects that had taken her all over the world to create a memoir via montage, a curated collection of moments that express not only her fascination with camera and image, but also her sense of wonder, justice and empathy. It’s a quietly revelatory and revolutionary movie, as it debunks the notion that documentary should be about objectivity and observation. It speaks to the fundamental truth that, in observing something, in documenting it, we participate in that thing, and that selecting it is both an editorial and artistic act.

With Dick Johnson is Dead, she delves even further into the subject-object-observer relationship, with her own life squarely in the center of the frame.

Having lost her mother to Alzheimer’s disease some years ago and with very little footage with which to memorialize her, Johnson confronted her father’s dementia diagnosis with the full force of her artform. He, Dick, a retired psychiatrist, came on as accomplice and the two embarked on a project that would celebrate his life and their relationship, while also contending with the inevitably of death and our utter unpreparedness for it. It’s also a slapstick comedy.

Johnson, with help of a full crew and Netflix money, uses this time with her dad, during which he moves out of the woodsy family home outside Seattle and into her one-bedroom New York apartment, to meditate on his big-heartedness, his transparent love of life and his family, and the vitality and strength of their father-daughter bond. It’s also a time of heartbreaking

grief, as his deteriorating mental state is a reminder to both of them of the process of losing Mom. In and among the more conventional, almost too intimate stuff of a compelling documentary, though, Johnson seizes on an opportunity to push the boundaries of the form. Using stunt performers, she stages and films a number of pretty dramatic death scenarios for Dick, including one wherein his jugular is accidentally slashed on a New York street corner. She constructed a Bollywood influenced, near-psychedelic vision of heaven and, as coda, held a funeral for Dick while he was still alive and capable of participating in and remembering it.

Pretty heady stuff, really, but one of Johnson’s formidable talents as a director is to leaven the fear and contemplation with her own kindness and curiosity. The result is something that shouldn’t work: a document about end of life that is also a fantastical musical comedy. I think that is the great innovation here. Dick Johnson is Dead is a movie about death that, on paper, doesn’t really make sense. But very few among us have made sense of our relationship to death, at least in any meaningful way, and so are left with our collages of memories, wherein joy and sorrow, the absurdity and horror and all of it are inextricably mixed. Kirsten (and Dick) Johnson render the collective struggle with the unknowable, the immense tragedy inherent in the experience of life, as a funny, thought-provoking, frequently heartbreaking celebration.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. 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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand 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 free and clear ownership of the prop− erty or necessarily a 100% owner− ship interest in 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 responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off or resolving ownership interest issues, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis− tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens as well as the ownership interest(s) that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. 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, beneficiary, lien holder, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848−9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the T.S. number assigned to this case.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand 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 free and clear ownership of the prop− erty or necessarily a 100% owner− ship interest in 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 responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off or resolving ownership interest issues, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis− tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens as well as the ownership interest(s) that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. 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, beneficiary, lien holder, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848−9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the T.S. number assigned to this case.
