New year, new decade

Del Norte jobless rate up a bit C

Staff Report

alifornia’s unemployment rate maintained its record-low 3.9% in November, as the state’s employers added 28,400 nonfarm payroll jobs, according to data released Dec. 20 by the California Employment Development Department.

At the same time, Del Norte County’s non-seasonally adjusted unemployment numbers ticked upward, from 5.0% in October to 5.3% in November.

Del Norte County’s labor force in November dropped from 9,890 to 9,740 workers. Government continued to be the largest employer in the county.

November’s state job gains contributed to a record job expansion in California of 117 months, surpassing the long expansion in the 1960s.

California has gained 3,414,700 jobs since the expansion began in February 2010, accounting for more than 15% of the nation’s gain over the same period.

The number of unemployed Californians is the lowest since 1989, despite the large gains in statewide population since then.

California’s record low unemployment rate in November coincided with a 0.1 percentage point decline in the national unemployment rate of 3.5% for November.

4.1 million for old storm drain

$

By David Hayes Staff Writer

A

$4-million project to improve Crescent City’s aging storm drain system was authorized Dec. 23 during a special session of the City Council.

Mayor pro tem Heidi Kime was not present to vote.

The project will center on storm drain capacity on Front and C streets.

Permanent improvements to Front Street are listed as the Del

Norte County Local Transportation Commission’s No. 1 priority for the city.

The current storm drain system is the oldest infrastructure system still in use within the Crescent City limits, estimated to be more than 70 years old, according to a staff report.

The existing storm drains have proven inadequate and result in frequent flooding of major collector streets, including Front and Fifth, in addition to a

variety of intersections and even certain residential properties.

During heavy rains, emergency responders from the police and fire departments and from Crescent City Public Works must place barricades and post signs on flooded streets and intersections, warning residents and occasionally rescuing stranded motorists.

The staff report said flooding has caused More Drain on Page A4

Sunset High School helps turn young lives around O

By Jessica Goddard Staff Writer

n a recent drizzly December morning, a Sunset High School student came running into the school’s office. Out of breath, he apologized for being late, saying he knew a fifth-grade field trip was scheduled for that day and he didn’t want to let the staff down by not showing up.

That’s the kind of relationship the staff and students at Sunset have created, according to principal Tony Fabricius, who said it’s what contributes to the school’s success.

“He just comes here and he feels a sense of purpose and that we depend on him,” Fabricius said. “And then he feels he depends on us.”

Along redwood-lined Elk Valley Cross Road lies Sunset High School, the only “continuation” high school in the Del Norte County Unified School District.

At times, the school copes with a negative reputation, said Fabricius. But with the facul-

ty’s creative approach to learning, he argues that Sunset is more than it may appear.

The high school offers a variety of innovative programs designed to ensure that students who are at risk of failing to graduate receive a meaningful and effective education.

“A lot of what we do is create opportunities for students to demonstrate their excellence or greatness or achievements in other ways that don’t include testing, exams, scoring,” Fabricius said. “We have to create relevance in different ways for them.”

Continuation schools are alternative high school experiences for students 16 years and older who face the possibility of not graduating.

The schools are designed in part to help students accrue credits quickly. Districts with more than 100 12-graders are required by California law to have such schools, according to EdSource. “We are built for students to recover More Sunset High on Page A2

n Sunset High Continued from Page A1 their credits quickly in order to graduate on time.

“So, that means we have to be very creative in what we do and how we do it. And we also have to recapture these students in a way that they feel relevant and important, or they feel like education and coming to school is relevant and important,” Fabricius said.

The faculty and administration’s efforts have resulted in an attendance rate of 96.4%, a notable improvement from 87% over the past five years. By comparison, the attendance rate for one of the year’s model continuation schools in California is 85%-90%, according to the state Department of Education.

For the seven years Fabricius has been Sunset’s principal, he and the faculty have worked to establish its reputation as a school where students can feel seen, valuable and confident in non-traditional ways.

“That’s been the challenge,”

Excerpts from the call logs of the Del Norte County Sheriff ’s Department: Monday, Dec. 30 At 14:40 p.m., caller requested advice regarding problems with tenants on the 9800 block of U.S. Highway 101.

At 1:37 p.m., caller reported someone got into her unlocked vehicle on the 300 block of Waldo Street.

At 1:47 p.m., caller reported his father’s chainsaw was stolen on the 1600 block of Jefferson Avenue.

At 1:49 p.m., caller reported her children found part of an old rifle on the 100 block of Lakeside Loop.

At 2:02 p.m., caller reported she had video footage of vandalism at the church on the 100 block of Cooper Avenue.

At 2:40 p.m., caller reported a possible intoxicated subject crashed his bike on the corner of Front and Play streets.

At 2:43 p.m., caller reported a motor vehicle accident on the 700 block of U.S. Highway 101.

At 3:12 p.m., caller reported a vehicle was abandoned on the corner of Front and L streets.

At 3:12 p.m., caller requested removal of a subject intoxicated and refusing to leave at the corner of Ninth and L streets.

At 3:31 p.m., CHP reported a possible drunk driver on the corner of Lake Earl Drive and Morehead Road.

At 4:03 p.m., caller reported someone got into her unlocked vehicle and stole several items on the 2100 block of State Street.

At 4:15 p.m., caller reported a known subject at the house on the 1600 block of Jefferson Avenue and was causing a disturbance.

said Farbricius. “A lot of what we do is helping to reverse that perception in the community of Sunset High School. Our students just show achievement in different ways.”

Many of the students enroll after struggling in a standard high school. At Sunset, they find different ways to learn. “Many of them, for one reason or another, became ghosts at other school sites, meaning they fell between the cracks for whatever reason,” Fabricius said.

“These are students who come here and we work them into what we do, and before you know it, they are students who are presenting, researching, writing scripts, creating activities, and facilitating and public speaking.”

Sunset’s programs, such as Friday field trips, onsite farming and the poetry team, help the students learn through reciprocal teaching and hands-on projects.

One member of their poetry team was the county’s poetry champion, who made it to the state competition in Sacramento.

The Friday field trips, recently completed for the fall term, include a focus on providing an entertaining and educational day

for every third- and fifth-grader in Del Norte County. The third-graders visit Sunset in the spring and the fifth-graders visit in the fall.

“My favorite thing is trying to teach the (younger) kids and making sure that they have fun,” said 11th-grader Mikaila Marlin.

“It’s actually given me a lot. It’s given me confidence to talk in front of people, because I definitely get nervous. I’ve definitely learned a lot here.”

Sunset students use the field trips to help the fifth- and third-graders with woodworking projects, animal education, a redwood interpretive trail, mathematics and apple pressing.

Leading the various projects gives the high school students practice in public speaking and leadership.

“It’s an incredible program,” said teacher Kelly Troyna. “They can feel the difference in their own skills.”

Each high school student plays a valuable role during the field trips, said Fabricius. “For these students, who again have felt either that they’ve given up or they’ve felt given up upon, now they feel relevant and they feel

important and they feel accomplished.”

In addition to the field trips, the high school’s teachers provide a trade career education, which is why the school has implemented an agricultural component.

Sunset has a small up-and-coming farm and some farm animals, so students can learn hands-on about the agriculture industry.

The students also participate in Sources of Strength, a peerled group centering on suicide prevention.

Sunset’s approach to learning, with creative activities and student self-reflection, is a labor of love for many of the teachers and staff. Their contributions often stray outside their job descriptions - bringing cookies for a schoolwide holiday party, as an example.

“You get a very huge sense of reward working at Sunset,” said Fabricius. “Again, it’s not easy what we do here. It’s tough, man.

It’s a challenge. It’s emotional.

“These kids deserve the effort that we give, and they’re great kids. They sometimes don’t believe in themselves, and it’s up to us to instill in them that they’re worth it.”

OBITUARIES

Harold “Pete” Gardner, age 78 of Smith River, CA passed away on Friday December 13th, 2019. A lifelong resident of Del Norte County, he was born May 8, 1941 in Crescent City, California.

Pete had been sick with COPD for quite a while. In the last two weeks he became weaker and a little confused so we stayed with him 24 hours a day to keep him safe and comfortable. If Pete asked for pie we ran out to get apple, peach,

and chocolate pie. When we gave him the options he said, “what about lemon meringue”, we would all laugh. He had a great sense of humor and was so grateful for the simple things.

Pete had the best passing anyone could ask for.

He was talking and joking with family members, then he was gone. No warning, No suffering. If anyone deserved an exit like that it was Pete.

During his last few weeks all he talked about

n Drain Continued from Page A1 thousands of dollars in damage to local properties and in some cases forced residents to temporarily evacuate their homes.

To pay for the project, said City Manager Eric Wier, a community development block grant awarded in 2017 for just under $4.1 million will be used.

However, the grant does not cover all of the proposed storm drain improvements, including the capacity to handle a 10-year storm on local minor streets, a 25-year storm on major collector streets, and a 100-year storm’s impact on nearby structures.

For that, said Wier, the city would need to install a redundant storm drain system within the C Street drainage basin between 5th Street and Front Street, and the F Street drainage basin between Front Street and 5th Street.

Wier said engineers have modified the project’s parameters to meet the minimum goals of the block grant, including improvements to just Front and C streets, bringing the cost down to $3.8 million.

He said that doing so gives the city the ability to account for a variety of project nuances, to adapt its schedule, and to use subcontractors. “It’s a somewhat rare type of

project that only a few contractors can do,” Wier said.

He added that the storm drain improvements will be the initial step in a re-design of Front Street that was developed by the Planning Commission in 2012. That larger plan calls for narrowing Front Street, installing new pedestrian ramps, creating a stamp sidewalk similar to Beachfront Park, and constructing a curb median to separate pedestrians from vehicle traffic.

That big-picture approach came with an estimated $20 million price tag which, Wier said, the city tried to get funded last year through a $15 million Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development grant in cooperation with the Elk Valley Rancheria Tribe.

That initial application was denied. “It could actually take several attempts to get a funding source,” Wier said.

“This was a very competitive grant and we were highly encouraged to apply again by the federal evaluators.”

He said that with the City Council’s approval, the storm drain project now goes out to bid for 30 days. He said he hopes the council awards the contract by the end of January, so construction can begin in April.

The grant’s parameters require the project to be completed by June 30, 2021, said Wier.

DEAR ABBY After Mediterranean honeymoon, man refuses to live with wife

By Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem.

My husband is constantly grabbing me, either my breasts or my crotch. It’s day and night.

We have been married almost 40 years, and I am sick of it.

Any suggestions on how I can make him understand I hate this? -- GROPED OUT WEST

DEAR ABBY: My heart is breaking for my friend who was married just a month and a half ago. She and her husband went on a two-week Mediterranean cruise for their honeymoon. They have not lived together since then. Her husband says he loves her, and I know she loves him, but he has no immediate plans to live with her! She’s heartbroken and is planning an annulment.

What advice do you have? -DEAR GROPED: Your THROWN IN MARYLAND husband may consider what

DEAR ABBY: I am 59 years old with a good job. I have a pleasant personality, and I have been told I am attractive. I would love to find someone who would be a very good friend or maybe even a love connection.

The problem is, I wear partials because some of my teeth are missing. I’m very attractive with them in, but I’m afraid if I tell a man I have them, he won’t regard me as attractive anymore. Should I withhold that information until further down the line?

Please advise me because this is holding me back on trying to have a relationship. I don’t want to remain lonely because of this. -- READY FOR SOMETHING IN D.C. DEAR READY: You state that you have a good job. If all that’s holding you back from finding a partner is embarrassment about your dentures, contact a dentist and ask if there are other options, such as implants, that might be a solution for you. If there are, it will give you the boost of confidence you are seeking. If not, keep in mind that if you are dating the right man in your age group or older, he shouldn’t have as much a problem with your teeth as you fear.

Here’s an insider’s look at those weight-loss resolutions

By David Hayes Staff Writer

anuary 1’s arrival often is accompanied by steadfast New Year’s resolutions.

Among the top five again this year will be losing weight.

Chef Michael Gomez of Smith River is seizing on the year 2020 to zero in healthy eating. “Like 20/20 vision, I want people to focus this year on what is really important for a healthier lifestyle,” Gomez said.

He said he’s worked in restaurants all his life,

over the years feeding celebrities such as John Travolta, Steve McQueen, James Gardner and Ronald Regan.

That is, until he made a career change. “I went from the stars to the bars,” said Gomez.

He subsequently worked as a chef in the prison system for 28 years. On March 5, 1990, Gomez became one of the original employees when Pelican Bay State Prison opened north of Crescent City.

“Pelican Bay was the first prison in the state to hire a nutritionist. So, I was around food 24/7,”

Gomez said.

And being around food had its downside. At one point, Gomez weighed 350 pounds, thanks to a genetic propensity toward obesity.

His brother tried to address his extreme weight by having gastric bypass surgery, Gomez said, only to die seven days later from medical complications.

He said gastric bypass surgery and its reduced-diet requirements remains the No. 1 extreme weightloss strategy, with a 75% success rate. Number 2 is Weight Watchers, followed

by Jenny Craig and Keto.

Regardless of which diet individuals try, said Gomez, he suggests three steps: eat only when you’re hungry, eat a balanced diet, and stop when you feel full.

Following those simple guidelines, Gomez said he lost 150 pounds … and has kept it off for 20 years.

After retiring from Pelican Bay in 2017, he has brought his knowledge to young people, teaching kids how to cook through school district education programs. “The district allowed me to let them cook in the school, then in their home,” he said.

Through his youth cooking classes, Gomez began working with Sonny Baker, the SNAP Education program coordinator for the Del Norte County Department of Health and Human Services.

Her healthy-living programs, such as Food Smart, are taught by community members like Gomez, people she calls champions of change.

Baker said her programs are part of CalFresh Healthy Living, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with additional state and county financing.

They’re based on American Dietary Guide-

lines promoting an overall healthy lifestyle, nutrition and physical activity.

“One of the local initiatives we’re working with in the community is Champions for Change, (people) who demonstrate that healthy change is possible through their lifestyle changes, who overcome obstacles and struggles, using their stories and testimonies,” Baker said.

“We give people encouragement, motivation and inspiration that lead into changes.”

She said one of the program’s newest workshops is Food Smart, which tailors healthy tips and dietary guidelines to those who attend. The workshops are taught by 10 “champions” from the community - including Gomez.

“The overall guidelines show anyone can practice lifestyle changes with built-in habits, such as reading labels, using recipes and networking with other community members’ resources.

“It’s about creating a community... Creating a healthy individual, creating a safe space to learn that addresses their needs and struggles. It helps them make the journey to good health because they are empowered.”

Other champions for change involved in the county’s workshops include Alexander Dairy, Rumiano Cheese Co. and the Open Door Community Health Center.

“There are other people like us who are what we call ‘healthy nuts.’ My goal is to be a healthy town,” Gomez said.

He added that while Baker teaches knowledge, he teaches habits.

One habit he’d like to see, especially in youth, is to give up soda pop.

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING CERTAIN CHAPTERS OF THE DEL NORTE COUNTY CODE RELATING TO BAR-O BOYS, THE DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL SERVICES, AND GENERAL PENALTIES

Bids received after the time established for receiving bids will not be considered and will be returned unopened. Except as provided in paragraph 00 20 00-1.04(A), no bidder may withdraw his or her bid after the time established for receiving bids or before the award and execution of the contract, unless the award is delayed for a period exceeding ninety (90) calendar days.

At the regularly scheduled meeting of the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors will vote on an ordinance to repeal the following chapters of the County Code which are obsolete:

This is a Public Works Project subject to the rate of prevailing wages as established by the California Department of Industrial Relations and the Department of Labor. Bidders are notified that the higher of either the Davis-Bacon or the State prevailing wage rate shall apply.

1. Chapter 8 of Title 9 establishes and governs the Bar-O Boys Ranch, a juvenile detention facility which is no longer in operation.

2. Chapter 34 of Title 2 establishes the Department of Central Services, which is no longer in existence, as the functions of the department have been transferred to other county departments.

3. Chapter 12 of Title 1 sets forth penalties for violation of the County Code which are inconsistent with state law and with the newly amended Chapter 60 of Title 1, governing administrative citations.

This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations and Department of Labor. Full original payrolls must be provided to the City on the WH-347 form as provided in the Labor Compliance Book.

Bidders are hereby notified that pursuant to Section 1773 et seq. of the California Labor Code, the Owner has obtained from the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations the general prevailing rate of wages and employer payments for health and welfare, vacation, pension, and similar purposes for work to be done within Del Norte County, California. Regulations regarding the application of these wage rates are given in paragraph 00 20 00-1.12.

No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.

A full copy of the ordinance is available for review in the Board of Supervisors office at 981 H Street, Suite 200, Crescent City, CA during normal business hours.

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 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-58499. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be 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 OF TRUSTEE'S SALE T.S. No.: 2019-00972 Loan No.: RMF4021905 APN: 106-091-011-000 and 106-091-012-000 NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 8/7/2018. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: NICOLE P. WATKINS-MURPHY, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Duly Appointed Trustee: SUPERIOR LOAN SERVICING Recorded 10/25/2018 as Instrument No. 20184417 in book, page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Del Norte County, California, Date of Sale: 1/16/2020 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: In the Lobby of the Building Located at 550 "H" Street, Crescent City, CA 95531. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $114,435.96 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 200 LASSEN ROAD CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 A.P.N.: 106-091-011-000 and 106-091-012-000 "As Is Where Is" The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 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) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-00972. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
