Crescent City, CA

Former firefighter honored for service By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

David Robert Soule spent his entire adult life helping the community of Crescent City. Last month, two months after he died suddenly at the age of 37, the Crescent City Council said thank you by honoring Soule with the Service Above Self award named in honor of longtime Fire Chief Steve Wakefield. Soule began helping his community while just a child, starting as an explorer with the Del Norte Ambulance at age 14. The day he turned 18, he became the

youngest licensed EMT in California history and soon after began volunteering with the Crescent Fire Protection District. For the rest of his life, he volunteered to help his community. While working full-time as a truck driver and also at Pelican Bay State Prison, he continued to take shifts as EMT with Del Norte Ambulance. He maintained his EMT certification until he died. Recently, Fire Chief Bill Gillespie welcomed Soule’s wife, Nicole, and their children, Derek and Jocelynn, at his office to hear the honor be announced. Gillespie said Soule was

deserving of the honor. “David did truly embrace the spirit of service above self,” Gillespie said. “For me, and I know a bunch of the department, we miss David. We miss him, we miss his giggle and we definitely miss his smile.” Mayor Blake Inscore read a proclamation from the city about the award and said he would be proud to sign it and present it to Soule’s family.

Schools to remain open By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

“Once that happened I jumped out of my car and so did the man parked next to me. I yelled at him to call 911 and ran down to the boys; there was another man running down and also a lady showed up, too. The gentleman who called 911 also came down. We were all in the surf, up to about high shin level, trying to keep Zac’s head above water; he was conscious, but lifeless other than facial expressions.” The rescuers used the kayak to move Zac to a safer place out of the surf. “About five of us lifted Zac gently as we could, keeping him as stable as we could, into the kayak,” Lange continued. “I was on his feet end and we all escorted Zac, in the boat, up to the sea wall to wait for first responders.” “The spot that I dove into was far shallower than I was expecting,” Abblitt said in a video

While the surge in COVID-19 cases is making a lot of changes necessary in Del Norte County, there is one major exception local schools. Earlier this week, Jeff Harris, superintendent of Del Norte Unified School District, announced in-school classes would continue. “Under the guidelines, our schools can and will remain open just as they have since October,” Harris said. “We’ve also been working collaboratively with the Del Norte Department of Public Health to ensure our schools and our processes are in compliance with state guidelines.” Harris said the district was determined to keep schools open, but he said to keep in-person classes available, parents and students must do their part. “If your child is symptomatic or has been in close contact with a known COVID case, please keep them home,” Harris said. “Remember, every day your child should be doing the daily screening. By the same token, if an adult in the home is symptomatic or has been in close contact with someone with COVID-19, we highly recommend keeping your student home.” Harris said there are two reasons to close schools in state guidelines. The one teachers, parents and students have control over is limiting COVID in schools. If any school reaches 5 percent of students with COVID cases in a two-week period, the school would be forced to close to in-person education. If 25 percent of schools in a district close, the entire district will be forced to shut down to in-person classes. Harris said while the district wants to limit COVID exposure, he also wanted to remind parents that students must be in class, whether in person or virtually. “We want to make sure your children are in school,” he said.

slight movement in his arms but no movement in his hands and no feeling below his chest.” Brookings resident Michael Lange was parked at the beach that day while eating his lunch and was watching the two teenage boys playing in the surf, one on a kayak and one on a surfboard. “It was a ‘shore break’ day, meaning the waves were breaking close to shore as opposed to

out further in the water,” Lange said. “I could tell the boys were having a great time, laughing and enjoying the beautiful day and a decent swell, three to four feet on the sets coming in.” According to Lange, the boys placed the boat and the board up on the beach and ran up to the boardwalk and sea wall area to visit a friend. Meanwhile, a wave came up to the surf toys and started to take one out to the ocean. Two girls who were with the boys were laughing about it. “At that time, Zac and the other boy, Daniel, ran down the beach to help the girls get the items back up on the beach,” Lange said. “Zac went after the kayak and when the wave receded back into the surf, Zac dove head first in to the shallows. I did not see Zac come up from the dive and then I saw Daniel run to get him; he was struggling to retrieve Zac from the surf.

announced that we were moving to Tier 1, it wasn’t possible to continue with parade plans,” the Divas said in a press release. “We made this decision after consultation with city officials, and out of concern for the safety of our citizens, participants and volunteers.” The Divas said the pandemic has made it difficult to host downtown events they typically do, but the group said shopping locally and spending money with mom-and-pop businesses has never been more important. “It is imperative that our community step up and shop local whenever possible as

small businesses will be some of the hardest hit with this recent change during the holiday season when normal sales can hold a business over through the slower winter months,” the press release stated.

Zachary Abblitt, age 18, of Brookings fractured his C5 and C6 neck vertebrae while surfing with his friend at Sporthaven Beach at the Port of Brookings Harbor on Nov. 20. “He was pulled from the surf by his friend Daniel (Strom), transported to the local hospital via ambulance and by that evening was flown to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, where he is today,” said his uncle Kevin Knoll. “Zac had no feeling below his neck and was in surgery the day he arrived in Redding to remove part of the two vertebrae that were pinching his spinal column. Doctors also put a plug/ fastener in its place to stabilize. The following day he underwent surgery again to have a stabilizing plate put in the back of his neck. He has since regained

OBITUARIES John “Drake” Nelson Sr.

Shirley (Lay) Rogers

1945 - 2020

John “Drake” Nelson Sr. died November 29th, 2020 after an extended illness. Born in Los Angeles in 1945, John primarily grew up in Long Beach, California. Drake played baseball and attended Milikan High School in Long Beach. Honorably discharged from the Air Force in 1962. Drake relocated to Northern California and worked odd jobs, falling into hospitality. Drake was diagnosed with cancer in the early 1970’s, given six months to live, then fought his way back and given a new lease on life. Bartender, then hotel and bar operator, Drake met his wife Sharon and was married December 1st, 1978. From his cancer

diagnosis, then remission, Drake wasn’t expected to have children, but fathered two anyway. John “Drake” Nelson Jr, in 1980, and Chandra Marie Nelson in 1982. Drake and family moved to Reno, Nevada in the 1980’s, where he worked in admitting, in the Emergency Room, for St. Mary’s Hospital. He also had a passion for fishing and was a fishing guide all over the west coast. In the 90’s, Drake left the hospital, and became a part-owner of a fishing store in Sparks, NV called “The Gilly.” He would fix rods and reels from customers and build custom fishing rods as well. Drake and Sharon relocated once again to Oroville, California and opened a fishing store right up the road from Lake Oroville. Economy and health being the main factors, Drake retired, and sold the fishing shop. Drake and Sharon’s new passion and hobby became horsemanship. They had two horses, Toby and Jack for many heartwarming years. Moving on in years, Drake became a “born again” Christian, and amateur Fox News Analyst.

July 18, 1953 – Nov. 14, 2020

Early into retirement, Drake was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, but again Drake continued to persevere, and mystifying doctors, his heart stopped failing at such a rapid pace. Fires, hot weather, and other factors had influenced Drake and Sharon to relocate once again, to Crescent City, California. Drake was diagnosed with kidney disease, but that did not stop Drake from doing what he wanted to do. He and Sharon bought a wonderful house, a couple blocks from the ocean. Drake continued to go fishing and make amazing BBQ. He had a great sense of humor and was cracking jokes and telling vivid stories right up until the end. Drake is survived by his wife Sharon, his step-son Brian and two children Chandra and Drake Jr. Six grandchildren, Caleb, Alex, John “Joseph”, Antonette, Vienna, and Kailene. Brother, Richard Nelson. Arrangements are under the direction of Wier’s Mortuary Chapel. Please sign the family’s online guest book at wiersmortuary.com

As COVID-19 cases continue to grow in Del Norte County, the impact of moving to the Purple Tier, the most restrictive in California, is growing. Along with rules that now ban indoor dining at restaurants in the county, both city hall in Crescent City and the Del Norte County offices are closed to the public. In addition, state rules now call for a 10 p.m. curfew every night. After 10 p.m., gathering with people outside of your home is banned. The influx of COVID cases has kept staff in the county health department so busy no public COVID updates have been made available for more than a week. On Wednesday, officials said there were 70

active cases in the county, evidence of a continued surge. One of the hot spots appears to be Pelican Bay State Prison, where the state is reporting 14 new cases among staff in the last two weeks. According to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, there are 18 active cases among Pelican Bay employees with a total of 72 cases confirmed among staff since the pandemic began. According to information available from the state, there have been 36 COVID cases among inmates, with 29 new cases reported in the last two weeks. There have been no COVID-19 deaths among inmates at the prison. According to the latest information released by Del Norte County, one

person has died due to COVID since the pandemic began in March, with total confirmed cases moving to 357 as of Tuesday. Over the last week, there has been an average of six new cases reported every day. The cases in the county were split pretty evenly among men and women with the vast majority between the ages of 18 and 49. Only six percent of the cases were in the most vulnerable age group, those over age 65. In Humboldt County, the picture is growing worse. On Wednesday, the county reported 30 new COVID cases, the highest single-day count since the pandemic began. There have been 909 positive cases in Humboldt County with nine deaths reported. There are currently

While we will miss her terribly, we will honor her life by living ours with fond memories of times spent together in our hearts. Shirley is survived by her mother, Pamela Woods, daughter, Erica Lujan (Marco), grandsons, Marco Jr (Lyric), Arthur and Moses, great-grandsons, Marco III and Koah, and her grand-dog, Chubbs. Per Shirley’s request, no services will be held.

Doris May Whalen May 27, 1926 - Nov. 23, 2020

Doris May Whalen passed away peacefully in her home on November 23, 2020 at the age of 94. She was born on May 27, 1926 in Somerville, Massachusetts to Allen and Emma Kennedy. She moved with her family to Long Beach, California when she was fourteen. After high school, Doris attended Long Beach Community College. She transferred to Humboldt State College where she met the handsome Mike Whalen and fell in love. Mike and Doris married on August 28, 1949. Mike was offered a job teaching in Crescent City. Soon after, Doris was hired as a second-grade teacher at Crescent Elk School. In 1950, Doris and Mike welcomed their daughter, Lark, into their family. Doris eventually moved to Del Norte High School where she found her calling with the teens

Restrictions grow as COVID-19 cases surge in Del Norte County

Lord Jesus on November 14, 2020. Shirley moved to Crescent City from Great Britain in 1964 and attended Crescent Elk and Del Norte High School. She moved to Southern California to attend college after high school but returned to Crescent City several years later and remained there until her passing. Shirley enjoyed crafting, collectibles, decorating, reading, listening to good music, and most of all, her family. She will be remembered for her loving kindness, creativi-

48 COVID patients in hospitals. Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, the Del Norte County public health officer, said contract tracing has shown two major reasons for the increase in cases. The one he has spoken about the most is gathering with other people outside of your immediate home. Rehwaldt said to keep your family and others safe, do not gather with others. Those gatherings, whether with five people of 50, are still the greatest risk, he said. Rehwaldt said the second risk is people going to work when sick. “We have had a lot of reports of people going to work sick with cold and flu symptoms, and many have turned positive for COVID, but sometimes days after they were first having symptoms,” he said. “We cannot stress this enough; do not go to work or school if you are sick! It is the most fundamental rule.”

of Del Norte County. In 1967, when Lark was nearly ready to graduate from high school, the family got a big surprise when Doris found she was having a baby. Even though they were seventeen years apart, Star and Lark had a class together with their mom as the teacher while Doris was pregnant. Star was born in December of 1967. Also, during that year, Doris worked with a group of colleagues to establish the Del Norte Scholarship Foundation to aid the students of the county with college tuition. Doris worked selflessly on the Foundation for many years and the product of her efforts still benefits our DNHS graduates. Of all her educational accolades, the Scholarship Foundation was the achievement she held most dear. Remarkably, Doris taught for fifty years including the subjects English, Spanish, French, Latin, and Psychology. She positively impacted thousands of students, many of whom, to this day, consider her their favorite teacher. Always a professional, she dressed to the nines at work and maintained the highest academic expectations in the classroom. Above all, she had the gift of connecting with her students by making each feel important and worthy. Long after

high school, many students report remembering the vocabulary words she taught them, the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales, her greetings at the classroom door, and the coveted “Warm Fuzzy”; earned for improvement or success. When she wasn’t at school, Doris enjoyed her family, knitting and crocheting, reading, crossword puzzles, and travel. Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Mike Whalen. She is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law Lark and Gary Weston and Star and Danny Blackburn, her grandchildren Hope Weston, Joy Weston Priest, Chase, Cole, and Bliss Blackburn, great-grandchildren Hazel and Kelly Priest. No services are currently planned; however, a celebration of Doris’ life will be held in healthier times. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, please continue her educational legacy by contributing to the Doris Whalen Scholarship c/o Del Norte Scholarship Foundation, 301 West Washington Blvd. Crescent City, CA 95531.

Recreate responsibly on national forests With winter just around the corner, all visitors to California’s national forests should continue to plan ahead before visiting and recreate responsibly once there. Early snowfall has already begun on some forests and road conditions will begin to impact access so please ensure that your vehicle is snow ready before you go. A web map was developed to help visitors find out which recreation areas are open on nearby forests, including campgrounds, day use sites and trails on national forests in California. View the GIS map for winter updates at https://go.usa.gov/ xwurX . Please follow posted campfire, parking and camping restrictions. Be prepared to find alternative areas if your trail or campground is full. Additionally, please note that fireworks are not permitted on any national forest. California continues to recommend that you not travel long distances to recreate and, always, check with your local national forest before visiting. If you

or anyone in your household is feeling sick, remain at home and plan your trip for another time. All visitors should practice self-sufficiency during your visits to national forests. Recreating responsibly will help ensure that expanded access to recreational facilities, services and opportunities continues. Responsible recreation practices should be maintained at all times, including: • Research winter road conditions and make sure your vehicle is snow ready; • Maintaining at least six feet distancing from others; • Do not gather in groups and please follow the latest guidance from officials; • Communicate with others as you pass. Alert trail users of your presence and step aside to let others pass; • Pack out your trash and leave with everything you bring in and use; and • All services may not be available, so please plan accordingly.

Christmas Light Parade grows route FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2020 | A3

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

LINDA PINKHAM Country Media

It is time to get out your lights and dress up your vehicles, horses, wagons, busses, dump trucks and fire trucks for the annual Brookings Christmas Light Parade on Dec. 12. Parade lineup is at 4:30 p.m. at Azalea Middle School, 505 Pacific Ave., Brookings. The parade begins at dark, approxi-

mately 6 p.m. This year’s parade will be slightly different than previous years to ensure a completely COVID-19 safe event. The route is different from last year, and much longer to allow people to watch from their cars with lots of room to spread out along the route. The new route starts at Azalea Middle School, proceeds down Oak Street, crosses Chetco

Avenue to Railroad Street, then proceeds to 5th Street, and after crossing Chetco Avenue continues up the hill to Easy Street to return to the middle school via Pioneer Road. Santa will not be hosting a reception at the park as in previous years, but he will be leading the parade in a fire truck. For information, contact Kathy Breshears at 541-251-2353.

Santa can’t stick around after the parade this year, but he never passes up a chance to ride in a fire truck.

The parade will take a longer route this year so there will be plenty of room to spread out.

from his hospital bed. “It was about, say less than a foot of water. I hit my head first and was instantly paralyzed after that. Both my C5 and C6 in my neck were crushed. I’ve had surgery in the front and in the back. Now I have a titanium plate back there.” Zac has been making progress in the days since the accident. At 10 days after his accident, his swelling was still going down, according to Knoll. Zac has full cognitive abilities and can still solve a Rubik’s cube. Although his fingers aren’t cooperating, he continues to practice. In videos of Zac in therapy and discussing his accident, he is smiling and optimistic. “Everything that Zac is and everything that he always has been has never come out more than in this current circumstance of watching Zac being physically paralyzed and unable to do much,” said his older sister Charis Abblitt, in a

heartfelt video to help raise funds. “Zac’s a fighter so he’s going to push it to get back on his feet, definitely,” said Spencer Abblitt, Zac’s older brother. “We want to get him the quickest route there.” “Just as he set his mind to learn the piano, and just as he set his mind to surf, and just as he set his mind to be an athlete and a runner, I know that if Zac can be placed in the right rehab center, this will give him all that he needs to take that determination and to put it into him walking again and running again,” Charis said. “I’m just taking it one day at a time,” Zac said. “I’m excited to see where the Lord’s going to take me and just fully trust in Him. I know this is His will for my life.” Zac’s father is the Pastor at Calvary Heritage Church in Brookings. The family has a very strong faith tradition and community that is helping them through the trauma. The family is currently applying to different rehab centers for Zac, accord-

ing to Knoll. They want to place him with the top spinal specialist rehab in the country. The family hopes that rehab will not only be able to work with his ‘muscle memory’ but provide them with the best advice and expertise to guide and direct his treatment. The top rehab centers look for traits that lead to success, such as effort and a willingness to work hard. “Zac is a fighter and a hard worker,” Knolls said. “He is a strong, athletic young man. We are trying to raise funds for their crazy high medical needs that will be long term,” Knolls said. The family has set up a fundraising site at “Give Butter” (like GoFundMe) and a Facebook page where people can follow his progress. Here are the links: https://givebutter.com/ Zac https://www. facebook.com/ groups/731426521087574 https://www.facebook. com/1243639187/videos/10217779294894441/

The district also announced a few other changes. Students who travel outside the area, whether for times like Thanksgiving or other activities, will be asked to quarantine at home for 14 days before returning to in-person learning. In addition, kindergarten through second-grade students, who are not required to wear masks by state regulations,

are being asked to this week and next. Harris said he expects the state rules to change with even the youngest kids required to wear masks. Harris said he understands there are challenges, but he said teachers and administrators at Del Norte USD are working hard to keep schools open and to provide the best learning opportunities for all students.

In numbers, the county has 360 fewer people in the labor force and 590 fewer people who have jobs. With Del Norte County in the Purple Tier, experts say increased restrictions on private businesses could lead to addition unemployment claims in the near future. Outside of the farm industry, there were 4,050 people employed in private jobs at the end of November and 3,360 in government related jobs. In Del Norte County, many of the government jobs are linked to Pelican Bay State Prison, which is combating an increased number of COVID-19 cases.

After a significant drop in employment earlier this year, things are continuing to improve in Del Norte County. The most recent numbers from the state of California show the unemployment rate in Del Norte County at 8 percent. That is an improvement from the 9 percent unemployment in August but is still significantly down from a year ago. In October 2019, Del Norte County had a 5.3 percent unemployment rate, well below state and national averages. The 8 percent unemployment rate in October was better than the state average of 9 percent but below the national average of 6.6 percent. Virtually all aspects

of employment showed decreases over the last year, with three exceptions. Educational and health services are up 2.4 percent while state and federal government jobs are about even for the year. The numbers show the impact the COVID-19 virus and government lockdowns have had on private businesses. Outside of healthcare and government jobs, no sector of employment is close to breaking even year to year. Manufacturing shows a 6.7 percent loss of jobs, one of the lowest figures available. Goods producing and mining, lodging and construction are the only other sectors under a 10 percent decrease.

Tufted puffin seabird does not require Endangered Species Act protections Majority of the known population appears to demonstrate stable or increasing trends The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has determined that the tufted puffin, a charismatic seabird of the North Pacific Ocean, does not warrant listing as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The finding follows a comprehensive review of the best available science for the species. The tufted puffin adult

is a small black bird with a distinctive white mask, large, bright orange bill and golden tuffs of feathers on either side of its head. It fishes the deep open ocean for much of the year, but in summer months can be seen nesting in burrows on islands and cliffs along the coast from California north to British Columbia and Alaska, as well as Russia and Japan. The most recent rangewide estimate of the species is approximately 3 million individuals, and about 82 percent of the

known population appears to demonstrate stable or increasing trends. Tufted puffins are impacted by a variety of threats; however, climate change and oil spills pose the biggest threat to the species. The service’s status review found that tufted puffins are undergoing a range contraction, specifically on the southern end of their range, but that the species continues to be widely distributed across the northern part of its range and maintains high overall abundance. Models predict the species

will remain widely distributed throughout most of its historical range. “The tufted puffin is an essential member of the coastal and marine ecosystems in which it resides,” said Stewart Cogswell, supervisor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anchorage Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office. “Although the species does not warrant listing under the Endangered Species Act, we will continue to work with others to monitor and conserve this iconic seabird throughout its range.”

Letter to the editor Don’t throw away the masks just yet! 2020 has been quite a year: devastating fires (e.g., Slater Fire), violent protests and a record-breaking heat wave. What about the COVID-19 virus? A bright light shone in November 2020 because Pfizer made a strongly effective vaccine for COVID-19. Don’t throw away the masks just yet! If authorized, supplies of the vaccine will be limited. A virus did not damage my gait, hearing and speech; a drunken driver hit me in 1992. I teach people to not drive drunk. My teaching continues. Prevent getting and spreading the virus until

this vaccine becomes available: • Celebrate holidays with few people. Preferably, those you live with. • Use digital platforms (like Zoom) or postage mail to connect with others. • Watch religious services on TV or online. Gatherings can spread the virus causing illness or death. • Limit physical interactions with others. Wear a mask in populated areas and stay six feet away from others. • Avoid heavy drinking. If intoxicated, you are more likely to behave in ways that promote the spread of the virus and even drive drunk. • Hand washing is your best line of defense. Lori Martin Tracy, California

Barriers to Care: Why Humboldt’s Latino population is being hit disproportionately hard by COVID-19 By Iridian Casarez

Community Voices Coalition

Standing in Eureka’s La Pasadita Market on a recent afternoon, Isabel Ortiz says she’s had a hard time getting information on COVID-19, how to prevent its spread and what to do if she or someone she knows starts experiencing symptoms. Ortiz, who works at the market, only speaks Spanish and most of the COVID-19 information she’s seen has been in English. She says it would be a good idea for local officials to translate important information for those in the Hispanic community who don’t speak English. She says she’d been planning to go to Eureka City Hall to ask for some but hadn’t had the chance yet. But even if Ortiz had made it there, she wouldn’t have found much in Spanish, as City Clerk Pam Powell says the city just sends folks looking for COVID-19 information to Humboldt County Public Health’s website, adding that the department also has interpreters on staff who could help people find information. Officials believe stories like Ortiz’s may help explain why at least 22 percent of local confirmed COVID-19 cases have been found in Hispanic community members, even though they make up just 12.2 percent of the local population. Humboldt County’s white residents, meanwhile, account for 83 percent of the population but just 44.3 percent of confirmed COVID-19 cases. In a recorded Q&A with the local media late last month after Humboldt County first released COVID-19 case data broken down by ethnicity and race, Health Officer Teresa Frankovich said the disparity is not lost on officials. “Locally, the most dominant effect is a disproportionate amount of cases in our Latinx community and to that issue we have been really trying to work on outreach to the community,” Frankovich said. “Obviously, there may be language barriers and so we’re really trying to address that, and really trying to get information out so that people are aware of what precautions need to

be taken and what they can do if they become ill.” But Frankovich’s message might not be getting through to those in most urgent need of the information. Engelberto Cejeda, who owns El Pueblo Panaderia, says that the problem is that there aren’t any places he can find Frankovich’s media availabilities translated in Spanish, or even an outlet that’s a clear channel for translated COVID-19 information. “I turn on the television and try to watch the local news, but I can’t understand,” Cejeda says. “It would be nice to see [Frankovich’s reports] translated into Spanish. It doesn’t have to be everyday. It can just be on weekends.” According to Meriah Miracle, who supervises Humboldt’s COVID-19 information call center, the county has two Spanish speaking representatives available every hour that the call center is open, adding that these representatives help translate frequently asked questions and walk callers through information on the Humboldt County homepage to find translated fliers that can be shared on social media. These interpreters also work with public health on contact investigations involving Spanish-speaking residents, she says. The Latinx and Hispanic communities aren’t the only ones locally who face a language barrier. According to the U.S. Census, 11.8 percent of Humboldt County households speak a language other than English at home, including 6.8 percent that are Spanish speaking households. According to the Humboldt County Office of Education, 2,000 of Humboldt County’s approximately 16,000 K-12 students come from households where English is not spoken at home. Recognizing the information gap, a group of Lao and Hmong volunteers translated COVID-19 fliers and fact sheets from Public Health and included paper copies in a massive food distribution effort to those communities in May. Humboldt County is far from unique in seeing case disparities. Statewide, Latinx and Hispanic people account for 55 percent of COVID-19 cases, while

only making up 39 percent of the state’s population. Nationally, they account for 33.5 percent of cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control, but just 18.5 percent of the population. Additionally, data indicates they disproportionately face critical outcomes and death as a result of the disease. The data is also limited to people who self-reported race or ethnic information on a questionnaire at the time of testing, which, in Humboldt County, 40 percent of positive cases did not, according to Miracle. Nonetheless, there is ample evidence large disparities exist and a language barrier is only one possible reason, according to Caterina Kein, program supervisor for Paso a Paso, which is run through St. Joseph Health and offers support services to the county’s Latinx and Hispanic populations. “When we’re looking at those who are disproportionately affected by COVID, then we also know that there are underlying health conditions,” Kein says. “And not just physical health, but also mental health and whole health, as well — housing stability, economic health and access to care are all variables that make people more vulnerable to essentially contracting COVID.” In Humboldt County, Hispanic households are more likely to live below the poverty line than their white counterparts, and half as likely to own a single-family home. And while Hispanic workers make up 12.7 percent of the local labor force, according to the American Community Survey, they disproportionately fill the types of service sector jobs that can lead to more COVID-19 exposure and were hardest hit by initial layoffs. “With the decline of service industry jobs, we are looking at additional financial, economic and housing barriers to families that may not be able to access state and federal benefits or safety net programs due to their documentation status,” Kein says. And the disease and reverberating impacts have only exacerbated existing inequities, as Kein notes that some of the families

her program serves are “mixed-status” families — families that have documented and “questionably documented” people in their households — and thus may have been left out of the federal stimulus funding measures and don’t receive other benefits. The economic disparities only serve to widen the information gap, Kein says, explaining that barriers that existed before the pandemic are now enhanced. She says some of the more rural Latinx populations don’t have access to broadband internet and are dependent on pre-paid data cell phones, meaning some have to choose between staying in touch with families or researching health and safety information. Across all demographics, 19 percent of Humboldt County residents don’t have internet at home and 10 percent don’t have a computer, according to the Census, rendering simple self-diagnostic COVID-19 tools and other crucial information inaccessible. Paso a Paso’s bilingual staff — which for 20 years has worked to provide childbirth education, breastfeeding support, parenting classes, home visits, resources referrals and support groups — is keeping up with its participants to brief them on developing COVID-19 information through phone calls, text messages, Zoom classes and doorstep dropoffs. However, that effort only extends to program participants, which total 4,212 to date this year. The program is also helping its participants obtain personal protective equipment, teaching about health and safety precautions, and how to navigate the new tele-health doctor visits. Some clients who are homebound due to job losses or illnesses get assistance with grocery runs for necessities like food and household items. Like Paso a Paso, Open Door Community Health Centers — the largest local healthcare provider — is working to get information to the Spanish speaking community. Open Door’s Latino Health Coordination Program has dedicated staff in Humboldt and Del Norte counties who work to develop relationships in

the Latinx communities, CEO Tory Starr said in an email. Starr said the health system uses a Promotores de Salud model for patient connection, which sees Spanish-speaking staff offer Spanish speakers a swath of services, from translation to health education. Additionally, Starr said Open Door is collaborating with St. Joseph Hospital and area nonprofits to try to ensure Spanish-speaking patients have all the help they need to access educational materials, testing, community resources and coordinated care, as well as to participate fully in Public Health contact tracing efforts. Jennifer Judge, Open Door’s member services programs manager, said the clinic’s partnership with Public Health also makes it so Open Door’s staff can help Spanish speakers who have tested positive for COVID-19 with whatever they need for care coordination and recovery. For example, if they don’t have health insurance, Open Door staff helps them obtain it. Starr said it’s simply vital for Open Door staff to be as connected as possible to provide Latino patients, as well as the broader community, with services that are “culturally and linguistically appropriate.” “The language barrier issue is more complicated than simply providing materials in Spanish; materials that are created for the mono-lingual English-speaking community may not take into account access to resources, health literacy and a number of other social determinants of health factors,” he said. In her own experience, Judge says she knows what it was like to be an interpreter for her mom during doctor visits and parent-teacher conferences. “I understand that sometimes you don’t have all the tools to provide people with the information in their preferred language but health is very important, and to communicate that in their language and set them up for the same opportunities that anyone that speaks English has is very valuable,” she says.

As Starr and Judge point out, effective outreach to the the nearly 12 percent of local households that don’t speak English at home is a challenge that requires extensive outreach in addition to translation, as non-English speakers are unlikely to visit the county’s website or follow the Joint Information Center on social media. But it may prove a crucial component of making sure Hispanic communities don’t continue to suffer disproportionate impacts of a deadly disease. During another recent media Q&A, Frankovich said the Joint Information Center’s goal is to reach out to the Latinx community. “In a community where English may not be the first language, it’s really challenging to make sure people have the information they need to make the decisions and to understand how to access, for instance, testing and services they need,” she said. “It’s certainly been a target for our Joint Information Center in terms of trying to reach out in all kinds of avenues to get people that information in the language that’s appropriate, and I’m hoping we’re making headway in that respect.” The Community Voices Coalition is a project funded by Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation to support local journalism in generating truthful, courageous and equitable stories covering vulnerable and traditionally underrepresented communities affected by the coronavirus in Humboldt, Trinity, Del Norte and Curry counties. Project stories produced by the North Coast Journal newsroom will be done with full editorial independence and control.

TENSION WITH SISTER’S FIANCE MAKES HOLIDAY OUTLOOK BLEAK DEAR ABBY: I woke up crying this morning. The holidays are fast approaching, and many of them I spent with my younger sister “Leyla” and her family. It has been a tradition because our parents are no longer living, and my sisters live on the mainland. Leyla’s fiance doesn’t care for me, so last year’s celebration wasn’t very fun, although I did enjoy my family. Her fiance and I have never had an argument nor have I ever said anything negative to him. He’s insecure and wants Leyla to himself. I was gone for the holidays in 2018 because I was caring for our elderly father. I hadn’t been to their home for almost two years before that. During

that time he had my sister all to himself. The last time I visited he wasn’t nice to me. It didn’t feel good. Now, with this upcoming holiday season, I know I won’t be invited to join them, which makes me sad and mad at the same time. My sister doesn’t deal with life like I do. I am very family-oriented, and I would never let a man come between us. It breaks my heart knowing I won’t be a part of their lives this year for the holidays. I’m 65, and Leyla is 61. We shouldn’t be dealing with this kind of thing in

our lives. What should I do? -SAD ISLAND LADY DEAR SAD: Discuss this with Leyla and find out whether you will be invited to visit this year. Many families are distancing not because of personality conflicts but because of COVID. It may be possible to see your sister via Zoom or outside her home if you arrange to stay elsewhere. If that isn’t possible, make plans with friends and/or other relatives. Many people will be celebrating Christmas and New Year’s differently this year. You will not be alone in that. *** DEAR ABBY: My 16-yearold son passed away unexpectedly a month ago. Because he was short for his age, he had been bullied during middle and high school. After a minor argument with my husband and me,

he contacted a neighborhood kid who sold him powerful painkillers. This was, to my knowledge, the first time he did this, and I don’t think he realized how devastating the effects could be. (We had previously discussed the dangers of prescription drugs, but it seems this was an impulsive decision.) My husband and 19-year-old daughter are reeling from this tragedy, and we’re all in therapy now. I need to know if you have any advice on how to grieve. I’m feeling so lost and still in shock, and I have appreciated reading your advice over the years. -STILL IN SHOCK IN COLORADO DEAR STILL: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the tragic loss of your beloved son. The circumstances of his death make it even more difficult to understand and cope. Fortunately, there is help and support for

California to provide temporary tax relief SACRAMENTO – On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom today announced that California will provide temporary tax relief for eligible businesses impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. The temporary tax relief entails an automatic three-month income tax extension for taxpayers filing less than $1 million in sales tax, extends the availability of existing interest and penalty-free payment agreements to companies with up to $5 million in taxable sales and provides expanded interest free payment options for larger businesses particularly affected by significant restrictions on operations based on COVID-19 transmissions. The total tax relief, if fully utilized, is estimated to have billions in impact. The state would build on its ongoing support for businesses impacted by COVID-19 by providing immediate, temporary tax relief potentially worth billions and a new $500 million COVID Relief Grant program. The governor also announced the state would expand the California Rebuilding Fund

by $12.5 million, bringing the total investment to $37.5 million. These efforts are informed by recommendations made by the Governor’s Task Force on Business and Jobs Recovery. “California’s small businesses embody the best of the California dream and we can’t let this pandemic take that away,” said Newsom. “We have to lead with health to reopen our economy safely and sustainably while doing all we can to keep our small businesses afloat. With this financial assistance and tax relief, California is stepping up where the federal government isn’t. By providing potentially billions in immediate relief and support, our small businesses can weather the next month as we continue partnering with the Legislature to secure additional funding and investments in small businesses in the new year.” Small businesses are drivers of economic growth – creating two-thirds of new jobs and employing nearly half of all private sector employees. Califor-

nia is home to 4.1 million small businesses, representing 99.8 percent of all businesses in the state and employing 7.2 million workers in California, or 48.5 percent of the state’s total workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a significant challenge to small businesses, employers and employees. An August Small Business Majority survey data found that 44% of small businesses are at risk of shutting down. Data released through the Census Current Population Survey found that minority-owned businesses are disproportionately impacted: the number of active businesses owned by African-Americans dropped by 41%, Latinos by 32%, Asians by 25% and immigrants by 36%. “California’s small businesses continue to struggle as a result of COVID-19, and this latest round of action at the state level will help bridge the financial gaps that are vexing our state’s mom-and-pop business owners and nonprofits while we wait for congressional action, and

as we prepare for additional legislative action at the start of the year,” said Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins. “From widening access to grants, low-interest loans and tax deferrals, to modifying fees incurred by restaurants and bars, these are critical supports for the small businesses and services that keep our communities going. Now, we need our federal partners to do their part and pass a federal stimulus so these businesses and nonprofits can survive 2020 and the year to come.” “While we wait for Congress and the White House to approve an economic relief package that responds to the current surge, California has a chance to help nonprofits, small businesses, and communities now,” said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon. “I thank the governor and the senate for their partnership.” The announcements build on the state’s ongoing business support throughout the pandemic, including the Main Street Hiring Tax Credit, which authorizes $100 million in hiring tax credit for qualified small

businesses. The credit is equal to $1,000 per qualified employee, up to $100,000 for each small business employer. The application opened Dec. 1. Tax Relief for Businesses Impacted by COVID-19 In April 2020, the governor, through executive order, allowed taxpayers to apply for penalty and interest relief for 90 days for any taxpayer reporting less than $1 million in sales on their tax return. Through November 22, some 9,287 plans with almost $149 million in tax relief have taken advantage of this program. The governor will direct the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to do the following: • Provide an automatic three-month extension for taxpayers filing less than $1 million in sales tax on the return and extend the availability existing interest and penalty free payment agreements to companies (with up to $5 million in taxable sales) • Broaden opportunities for more businesses to enter into interest-free payment arrangements.

• Expand inter st-free payment options for larger businesses particularly affected by significant restrictions on operations based on COVID-19 transmissions. $500 Million for New COVID Relief Grant for Small Business The governor announced the creation of a $500 million COVID Relief Grant administered by the California Office of the Small Business Advocate at the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development for small businesses that have been impacted by COVID and the health and safety restrictions. Funds would be awarded to selected intermediaries with established networks of Community Development Financial Institutions to distribute relief through grants of up to $25,000 to underserved micro and small businesses throughout the state by early 2021. Nonprofits would also be eligible for these grants. CalOSBA is establishing the program and will make it available to small businesses as soon

Public Notices AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, lawful money of the United States, evidenced by a Cashier’s Check drawn on a state or national bank, or the equivalent thereof drawn on any other financial institution specified in section 5102 of the California Financial Code, authorized to do business in the State of California, ALL PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF SALE, all right, title and interest held by it as Trustee, in that real property situated in said County and State, described as follows: Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 in Block 21, Filkins Tract, per Map, filed on March 3, 1911, Book 2 of Maps, Page 30. The street address or other common designation of the real property hereinabove described is purported to be: 930 Mcnamara Avenue, Crescent City, CA 95531. The undersigned disclaims all liability for any incorrectness in said street address or other common designation. Said sale will be made without warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession, or other encumbrances, to satisfy the unpaid obligations secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest and other sums as provided therein; plus advances, if any, thereunder and interest thereon; and plus fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of said obligations at the time of initial publication of this Notice is $100,145.86. In the event that the deed of trust described in this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is secured by real property containing from one to four singlefamily residences, the following notices are provided pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code section 2924f: 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 free and clear ownership 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 responsible 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 property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. 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, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee’s 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 916939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 202010153.

Public Notices not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-10153 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.
