rowing up, Mike Cuthbertson always wanted to be a pilot. The 63-year-old even had his chances. When he was 20, he learned to fly fixed-wing aircraft in Crescent City … but he never got his license.
When he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, he learned to fly a helicopter. “But I did the same thing. I soloed twice, got 40 hours of flying experience, then quit. It was too expensive,” Cuthbertson said. “It was always my dream to have a helicopter. Still is. If I were to win the lotto, I’d buy a helicopter.”
Cuthbertson has been retired for 12 years after working at Pelican Bay State Prison. He’s living in Gasquet with his best friend, Stoney, an Australian shepherd. He said he’s satisfying his need to

Recreation manager Doug Winn, dressed as King Richard, and National Recreation Area rangers set up a pumpkin patch Oct. 18 in their restored garden and pumpkin patch. The garden was augmented by pumpkin donations from Walmart, Ocean Air Farms, Safeway and Grocery Outlet.

Crescent City’s new police chief shares thoughts on his job and his priorities is now the elected auditor here (County of Del Norte). Became friends with him. I actually came up and helped with wrestling. Basically, I went up to Alaska to work with his cousin in construction, called me up one day, hey, we have a job opening in the jail if you want it. Get your foot in the door. I interviewed for the process then, that’s why I came back over.

The guy introduced me to my first drone. I didn’t even know they existed. “The guy showed me you could actually fly it with your phone. It had a camera and everything you could see through it. I was like, ‘Wow! This is the coolest toy ever!’” He bought it, spending all
of $250. But within a matter of months, he discovered there were some really nice drones out there of better quality, with more technologically advanced camera systems. “There are a lot of nice companies out there. One of the most popular is DJI out of China,” Cuthbertson said. “I had one - had it fly away from me. Long story. But I got it back.” But he discovered the DJI came with too many restrictions. “They have a lot of hoops you have to jump through to fly, even here, because of where the airport is at. “Even if I’m just flying down at Beachfront Park, I had to get special per-

Meet Dakota Rae. She is a young female mix with lots of energy! She’s a nice compact size, possibly some Jack Russell in the mix? She has a pretty intense personality & play style, so would likely do best in a home with no small children. She loves to play fetch & brings the ball right back. She’s young, so her humans will need to be prepared for some puppy antics.

mission, which in my view was ridiculous. It’s a long way from the airport and flying this far (holding his hand up about 4 feet) off the ground is not going to affect anything.” DJI came with stipulations, Cuthbertson said, that their drones have to be flown further than 5 miles from an airport. But Del Norte County Regional Airport’s runways jut out in several directions, further extending the restriction zone past ideal locations such as the harbor. His latest model, an AUTEL EVO made in Washington state, doesn’t have those restrictions. And its sticker price of $1,500 wasn’t too much this time to abandon the pilot controls. The best part, he said, was how easy it was to learn and master. “Once you learn them, they’re easy. You have the drone, with its controller, and use an app on your phone to see through the drone camera on your phone,” he said. “I can put it at 1,000 feet, take my hands off and it sits there,” he added. Cuthbertson created a
YouTube channel, “GasquetMike,” to feature videos from his drone flights, highlighting from above the events and locations from around this region. “The Gasquet raft race was the first time I hit a thousand views,” he said. “I guess you’ve got to get a million before you get a sponsor.” For that personal touch, Cuthbertson puts a logo at the end of his videos that features him and his dog, labeling them “Mike and Stoney Productions.” He said he doesn’t want to hire out his services to take photos or videos from his drone. He’d rather keep it a hobby. “A friend of mine asked me to do deck party on the Fourth (of July). But you’ve got to be careful around people. You’re not supposed to fly around people. “I did fly it at ‘Sea Cruise’ and at the Del Norte County Fair, and got some pictures for The Triplicate. But I’d rather volunteer my services.” he said. Like the time a girl went missing at Lake Earl a few months ago, Cuthbertson said he went out there and
looked for her by drone for three days. “I never found her. I found out afterwards you’re not supposed to fly search and rescue without a license, I guess.” One reason Cuthbertson prefers to keep his drone-piloting skills to himself is because, having worked in the movie industry, he knows how demanding people can get. Including the time last year he worked on the set of a Poland Springs bottled-water commercial being filmed near his home in Gasquet. “They had a real big drone they’d brought up from L.A. They paid that crew $12,000 a day. It was good money, but it didn’t look it would be fun,” he said. “They had one guy flying,
one guy on camera and another guy watching. It flew across the river to this spot and they were already losing contact. It wasn’t that far. I thought, ‘Wow, that’s as far as theirs can fly?’” Right now, he said he’s got plenty of time on his hands. “Everybody always asks me what I do since I retired. I tell them I don’t know. The days go by, the weeks go by so fast, the years go by so fast. “I’m always finding something to do. I joined the gym. Bought an old Jeep I’m fixing up. I walk my dog a lot. I come into town and walk 1 1/2 hours around downtown. We love doing that,” he said. And he loves having fulfilled his childhood dream of flying.
INTERESTING JOB SERIES Next week, we ask licensed drone pilot Bob West how flying drones evolved for him beyond just a hobby.

Del Norte Triplicate, Wednesday, October 23, 2019 - 3
Del Norte High School football coach Nick White wants his team to forget the past and not worry about the future. He needs them zeroed in on the present. After defeating powerhouse St. Bernard’s last Friday, and with arch-rival Eureka looming on Nov. 1, it might be easy for the Warriors to think about something other than the Fortuna Huskies this Friday night, especially since Del Norte has already defeated Fortuna this season, 29-13, Sept. 27. Coach White isn’t having it. “We know how good (Fortuna) is,” the first-year head coach said. “We will have no problem staying focused.” Game time has been moved up to 7 p.m. for the Big Four Conference battle in Fortuna. Both teams are 1-0 against conference foes. The day after the 7-1 Warriors knocked off St. Bernard’s, the Huskies were beating Eureka on the Log-
gers’ home field, 21-14. After winning back-toback North Coast Section division championships, Fortuna has returned to earth with a young team. The Huskies are 3-5 overall. But Fortuna, under coach Mike Benbow, has a history of rising to the occasion. Last year, the Huskies were plagued by injuries during the conference season, and finished 0-4 against Big Four teams. But once the post-season started, Fortuna marched through all foes on its way to its second NCS championship. Benbow has also found plenty of success against Del Norte since taking over the program in 2008, winning 18 of 25 contests against the Warriors, including two of three battles in 2018. When the two teams met earlier this year in a non-conference contest, Del Norte led by just one, 8-7, at halftime. A pair of touchdown runs by Levi Cox-Cooley extended the lead in the third quarter, but Fortuna narrowed the difference to nine earlier in the final stanza. O.J. Calleja’s
four-yard run put the game away. In that first meeting, Cox-Cooley was a monster, rushing for a career-high 250 yards on 22 carries. Overall, Del Norte outgained Fortuna 436 to 91. What kept the game reasonably close was Del Norte’s turnovers, as the Warriors lost two fumbles and threw an interception. Ball security was a major point of emphasis prior to last week’s win and it paid off with no turnovers against the Crusaders. Senior Kobe Mitchell, after missing a pair of games, returned to action for Del Norte against St. Bernard’s. Mitchell punished the Crusaders for 153 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown blast up the middle that proved to be the winning score. Defensively, Del Norte did the two things it wanted to do. First, it kept St. Bernard’s dual-threat quarterback Will Oney contained. He rushed for 65 yards, about 30 under his season average. Second, the Warriors didn’t let the Crusaders hit
Del Norte Notebook … By John Pritchett For The Triplicate Conference opener -- Del Norte jumped to a 27-6 lead and then ran out the clock Friday, as the Warriors defeated St. Bernard’s High 27-20 in the first game of the Big Four Conference season. Both teams came into the game with 6-1 non-conference records. Over when -- After the Crusaders scored with five seconds remaining to cut the Del Norte lead to seven, St. Bernard’s attempted an onside kick. But Warrior Tanner Forker jumped on the ball, effectively ending the game. Key moments -- There were a number of vital points in the game for Del Norte: Chase Blackburn’s 50-yard gallop on thirdand-long on the opening drive set the theme for the game ... Kaleb Price’s critical interception in the second half denied St. Bernard’s momentum ... but perhaps the most exciting moment was in the closing minute of the first half, when Blackburn took the pitch and headed left, pitched it to Price heading right, who in turn tossed a perfect pass to quarterback O.J. Calleja at the goal line to give Del Norte a 20-6 halftime
lead. Streak at two -- After losing five consecutive games to St. Bernard’s dating back to 2010, Del Norte has now won two in a row over the private Eureka school. The Warriors won last year at Crusaders’ Field, 42-31. Welcome back -- Kobe Mitchell was injured in Del Norte’s only loss this season (to Mazama in Klamath Falls). He returned with a vengeance Friday, rushing for a career-high 153 yards on 23 carries. His earthshaking 40-yard explosion through the heart of the Crusader defense turned out to be the winning score. As a team, Del Norte averaged six yards-per-carry in slippery conditions. Closing in -- Del Norte’s leading rusher this year, Levi Cox-Cooley, was held to his lowest total of the season, 55 yards on 12 carries. But he is now within 94 yards of going over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. If successful, he would join just three other Warriors -- Colin Taylor (2011), Ethan Price (2018) and Sebastian Puente (2018) -- who have crossed the barrier this decade. The Lost Crusade -Del Norte’s defense knew it would not shut down
St. Bernard’s dynamic quarterback, Will Oney. But the Warriors certainly contained him. The Crusaders were held to half their season’s scoring average, and Del Norte’s defense limited St. Bernard’s leading receiver - Lane Thrap - to just two catches and six yards. He was averaging five catches and 150 yards a contest. “Pick”ing it up -- Del Norte came up with its ninth interception of the season, when safety Kaleb Price got his first. It was the only turnover of the game, surprising considering the wet, muddy conditions at Mike Whalen Field. Ratings -- Del Norte moved back into the No. 2 spot in MaxPrep’s North Coast Section Division 5 rankings, just behind Encinal. Del Norte’s first opponent this season, Moreau Catholic, is now No. 4, with Eureka 5, and Fortuna 8th in the 17team division. Despite its loss Friday, St. Bernard’s remains atop the Division 6 rankings. Up next -- Del Norte heads south Friday for the Big Four Conference battle with Fortuna. Game time has been moved up to 7 p.m. since no junior varsity game will be

their trademark big plays - with the exception of a perfectly executed trick play in the fourth quarter. Oney completed 19 of 27 passes, but everything was underneath. The Crusaders finished with just 162 passing yards, about 100 yards under their average. Unlike St. Bernard’s, Fortuna doesn’t throw much, alternating quarterbacks. In the first meeting, Del Norte’s defense -- led by Tanner Forker -- limited leading rusher Levi Nyberg to 11 carries for minus-one yard. If Del Norte can win in Fortuna, it will claim at worst a share of the conference crown, with a Senior Night battle with Eureka at Mike Whalen Field wrapping up the regular season. Then, the postseason awaits. None of that matters to White. Fortuna is the only game on his mind. “We want to get progressively better every year,” he said. “That’s our game plan.” Go online to www.triplicate.com Friday night for a post-game accounting
played. The Warriors won earlier this year, 29-13, at Mike Whalen Field in a non-conference contest. Typical Huskies -- Just when it looked as if this year’s Fortuna team was going to fade away with its 2-5 record, the Huskies knocked off Eureka on Saturday, 21-14, spoiling the Loggers’ homecoming festivities. Last year, Fortuna lost its final four regular-season games and entered the postseason with a 5-5 record. It then won four playoff games in a row to claim its second North Coast Section division championship in as many years. Old friends -- Over the past 16 seasons, Del Norte and Fortuna have met an astonishing 34 times, with the Huskies holding an 18-16 margin. The two teams have split their last four games. No JV again -- Del Norte’s junior varsity did not play against St. Bernard’s, which does not field a JV program. This week, the Warriors are forced to forfeit its game against Fortuna following a skirmish during its Oct. 10 game with McKinleyville that led to numerous suspensions for players who left the bench.

Fortuna remains a barrier to Del Norte’s march to a football title
4- Del Norte Triplicate - Wednesday, October 23, 2019
n Chief Continued from Page A1 goal was to eventually get on the streets. I knew I wanted to do police work, but that was just learning. I’m very glad I did it that way, because I got exposed to the whole process, the court process, inmate intake, everything, and that gave me a lot better understanding of the people I’d be working with. The two years I spent in the jail, it’s learning about the people you’ll be out there dealing with anyway. Q: What was your inspiration in the first place for pursuing law enforcement? Was it the movies or something else?
Q: Was your career path a natural progress up the ladder, or something unique to just you? GRIFFIN: If you’re going to progress up, there’s been a few to come from the jail, not from correction technician up. At the time I took that job, I also had two other jobs in southern Oregon. So, I was going back and forth to make ends meet. I knew what my goal was. I was motivated for it. I knew it wasn’t going to be that long in that situation. I don’t know of anyone else that’s worked from the bottom up like that, other than making commander or sheriff. I was pretty much the top of the sheriff’s office, too. Q: What do you think are some of the challenges the city faces moving forward? GRIFFIN: Officer retention and wellness. We have a really good core atmosphere, a good group family, and most of the people here have 15 to 20 years left in their career. As long as we can keep that together, to me, that’s my job. We can grow as a department. We’re going to have the problems that come up, like the homeless issue right now. I don’t see us training specifically for that or switching things just for
that. I’m going to prepare my officers to go out and handle any problems we have. Get the basic training down, get some extra training in, and keep them ready and prepared for whatever comes at us. Because the homeless problem, that’s there today, isn’t going to be there tomorrow or the next day. It’s going to be something different we’ll have to adapt to. Q: What other goals do you have? GRIFFIN: I do want to bring in more less-lethal products. That would be the first thing on the list. Especially with the laws coming down with the amount of deadly force issues. So, I’m giving my guys and gals more options to use on their belts in the de-confliction process. Q: How do you look at the challenge of retaining officers and not losing them to work at Pelican Bay State Prison? GRIFFIN: Biggest thing for us to do specifically, I can’t speak for other agencies, keep our family going as far as what we have, is to take care of each other. You get an atmosphere going, it becomes a place where people want to work. I took a pay cut coming over to the
T258498lT0918
GRIFFIN: Honestly, growing up it was the action movies, the “Lethal Weapon” stuff. Mel Gibson made it look like an awesome thing to do. You see the movies of cops and the fun stuff they do, the explosions here
and there, the shootouts. And, yeah, it’s not that at all. My thing is, I wish I’d done better in typing classes back in the day, because it’s 90-some-odd percent to do with typing, what we do. That was the reality check for me. You go out and do something fun for five minutes, then you’re doing at least a couple hours of paperwork. I had a backup plan if I didn’t like police work. Initially, I wanted to go into federal work, so I went to a job fair and talked to an FBI agent, and he said no, don’t get a criminology degree. Get something you can fall back on. Plus, if you get into here, you’ll be doing a lot of white-collar crime-type stuff, so we want you to have that business degree. That’s why I did the marketing degree with the criminology minor. If you look at cop work, you’re marketing yourself anyways. The thing I’m marketing is, most likely you’re going to jail or some other outcome I want, so you have to apply those principals.
city from where I was at, several dollars an hour pay cut. But I did it knowing what I was getting in to, and that in and of itself is worth $10 an hour. If you’re not happy going home at night, you’re going to start looking for other places to go. (The prison is) our competition. Our pay scale is up there, as far as Crescent City PD itself. We got a very good contract the last couple times. Other than that, it’s the environment we work in and taking care of each other. Q: What is it about Crescent City that keeps residents here? GRIFFIN: It’s God’s country. There’s no way around it. It’s one of the better places in the world. You look at the water, Smith River, the town of Smith River, see the elk wandering around. Anywhere you go, you’re five minutes away from world-class hiking, world-class fishing. I’ve got friends down in L.A., working in San Francisco, they’re driving two to three hours just to get to work. I’m used to taking a four-minute drive to work. The worst-case scenario, getting through traffic takes me five minutes from one end of town to the other. When you have that hometown atmosphere, people know each other, good and bad. Sometimes, it’s hard to get an investigation done because everybody knows each other. At the same time, if you can get at one person, they know about everybody. Just all that combined, it’s one of the better places to live as long as we can keep moving forward with it. Q: What did you think of the pool candidates you had to get through?

GRIFFIN: There were 37 total when we started, I was very impressed, we put it out nationwide. At the end of the day, nobody can argue if you made it through that gauntlet of a process, I think you earned it. I went up against a lot of good people. One of them was Ed Wilson, he’s one of the sergeants here. For me to get through the first
step of the process, let alone to be chosen, I’m very proud, especially with the people I was up against. Q: What did your family (wife Caitlyn, son Rogue, 4, and daughter Karson, 5) think of your advancement to police chief? GRIFFIN: They’re very excited. They know that dad’s the boss now, the chief. They were actually one of the first ones to know, because when I got the call from the city manager, my wife was right there. So, when they found out, they actually had to keep the secret for a few days until it was finalized. They did a very good job; they didn’t even tell grandma. It was kind of a cool thing for them. They’re all excited for what I do. Rogue knows I go out and look for bad guys and take them to jail. They understand, because there’s no hiding them from the truth. Q: What do you like to do in your free time? GRIFFIN: Basically, hang out with my family. They’re playing soccer now. They were doing karate earlier. I’m teaching my son how to play chess. He’s real excited about that and he’s already picking up stuff that took me a few years to realize. Just supporting them and helping them grow up to be good people is the main thing. In my spare time, I love power lifting. I’ve been a competition power lifter for a long time. I still have one world record (International Powerlifting Association World Pro Men’s Police Division, Super Heavy Weight, 683.4-pound squat) and held 14 state records at one time up in Oregon. I like going to the gym when I can. That relieves the stress. I want to get back into powerlifting. At some point, I want to start coaching kids. I coached wrestling and football when I first started here. That’s a huge thing for me, is getting kids to connect with law enforcement at a younger age. So we’re not first dealing with them when we can’t correct them, at 16 or 17 years old.

had arrived, the fire had consumed three-fourths of the main structure and was encroaching on a structure 30 feet away. Firefighters kept the fire from reaching the next property, but the flames engulfed a double-wide manufactured home, a shed and a car on the 4600 block of Kings Valley Road. Twenty-one personnel from the three agencies responded to the scene and contained the fire in approximately 30 minutes. The neighborhood took care of the family of six and sheltered them immediately following the fire, according to Battalion Chief Matt Berry. “All the neighbors in that area were great. They were really helping the family out,” Berry said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Roadkill for the table Act could move cannabis away from cash-only
Salvaging animals struck by vehicles on the rise
By Jessica Goddard Staff Writer

alifornia has passed legislation joining 27 states, including Oregon, that have approved bills allowing motorists to salvage game animals killed by vehicles. Senate Bill 395, which Gov. Gavin Newsome signed into law Oct. 13, authorizes the state’s Fish and Game Commission to create a user-friendly app for personal phones by Jan. 1, 2022. Motorists, in the event they hit and kill any deer, elk, pronghorn antelope or wild pig, would be able to apply for a wildlife salvage permit through the app. The legislation also authorizes the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to develop a pilot program to collect and compile information on wildlife-vehicle collisions to support wildlife conservation efforts. In Oregon, the “Roadkill Bill,” SB 372, was passed unanimously by both legislative chambers in 2017 and went into effect on Jan. 1 of this year. Under Oregon’s law, people can salvage deer and elk carcasses that have been accidentally struck by a vehicle, as long as they make sure to fill out a permit within 24 hours and follow a few basic rules. Intentionally hitting a deer or elk in order to salvage it remains unlawful. People salvaging animals must take the entire carcass, including any gut piles; must dispose of the remains properly; and must bring the head of the animal to an ODFW field office within five days so it can be tested for chronic wasting disease. Details of the law and an online permit application can be found on myodfw. com by searching the term “roadkill.” The intent of the law is to provide people with a healthy food source that might otherwise go to waste, and to eliminate the work required of road workers to gather the carcasses and dispose of them. “Over a million deer are hit by cars in the U.S. annually, meaning tens of millions of pounds of free-range venison could be salvaged by eating roadkill every year,” according to the website wideopeneats.com. The Triplicate checked in with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) assistant staff wildlife biologist Justin Dion to see how the new Oregon law is
Deer-crossing signs prevent only some deer-auto collisions, with more than a million deer hit by vehicles each year in the U.S. Courtesy photo. working and what advice he might have for California: Question: How many permits have been issued since Oregon’s roadkill law went into effect? Justin Dion: The number of permits issued since Jan. 1 is 798. Q: Are you able to break the numbers out by species and gender? Dion: Most permits are for black-tailed deer (found in western Oregon, where most of Oregon’s human population is). At this time of year, we are seeing a big uptick in males being roadstruck, which is to be expected due to the rut (breeding season, when bucks will be on the move and more aggressive) and migration period. ODFW was expecting an uptick in the number of roadkill permits during migration period, and it’s exactly what is happening. Over the weekend, 23 permits were issued. The number rose from 55 permits in July, to 81 in August, to 115 in September. We expect a drop-off after migration/ rut is over and animals are in their winter habitat (so, December-January). Q: How many permits have been issued in Curry County? Dion: It’s hard to drill down to county level because our permit doesn’t require listing the county, and an animal can be hit in one area and checked in at any field office within five days. The Gold Beach office has had only one animal checked in as of the end of September. Q: What areas in Oregon have requested the most permits? Dion: The most permits issued checked in around Corvallis, Springfield and Bend – as expected, because these are the most-populated areas. Higher human populations equal more roadkill happening, especially on the western side of the Cascades. Q: How has the program been working so far overall?
Dion: It’s great that some people have been able to salvage parts of deer and elk for meat. As of the end of September, of the permits issued, 150 animals were not checked in, around 20% to 25%. We are seeing people who fill in the permit and then choose not to salvage because the body condition of the animal is poor and there is no suitable meat to take. We are looking at this problem and how we might account for that in our system. In the future, (the Oregon State Police) or ODFW may be following up with people who did not check in after filling out a permit. We are looking at ways to account for situations where they fill out the permit but don’t end up taking the meat. Q: Have there been issues with people misunderstanding the rules? And is there something that your agency would especially like to highlight as a reminder or clarification? Dion: One misunderstanding we see is people not realizing they need to bring in the permit and have it signed when they check in the animal. Sometimes, it’s because they don’t have a printer. To make this easier, we have duplicates of emailed permits available (although not available in real time) and blank forms available at field offices for those without internet access.
bill that could allow banks to work with cannabis-related businesses is moving to the U.S. Senate. If passed, cannabis businesses could move away from cash-only commerce. The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act of 2019 passed the House of Representatives on September 25, under “suspension of the rules,” a procedure used to pass a bill rapidly. The bill passed in a landslide with 321 votes in favor and only 103 opposed. Now it will head to the Senate, and if passed, could land on President Trump’s desk by the end of the year. The SAFE Banking Act will restrict Federal banking regulators from penalizing banks for working with cannabis-related businesses in states where recreational marijuana use is legal. While 33 states have legalized medical marijuana and 10 states have legalized recreational use of majuana, it is still federally illegal. Marijuana businesses in states where it is legal face the balancing act of being legal but federally illegal. Under federal law, marijuana is categorized under the Controlled Substance Act, meaning it is illegal for anyone to handle money made from cannabis businesses, including banks. “Access to banking is something most of us take for granted. But without it, cannabis businesses are forced to either maintain large amounts of cash – which invites violent crime – or launder money, which itself is a crime,” said California Congressman Jared Huffman, a strong supporter of the act. Most mariuana retail businesses cannot open a

Banks are required to report any suspected illegal activity to the federal government under the Bank Secrecy Act, an anti-money laundering act. Banks also must report when someone makes a cash payment of $10,000 or more. Since cannabis businesses are currently cash only, this makes it difficult for them to deposit their income. Finally the treasury department has an agency, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, that enforces regulations for banks working with marijuana businesses. It also offers assistance in detecting money laundering. “I could care less about marijuana. We cannot bank it because there’s not national laws,” said Chase Bank CEO JPMorgan in a statement. He added that if there was a national law shielding banks from prosecution if they worked with cannabis businesses, he would consider working with them. Because of these reasons, the marijuana industry is primarily cash only, and
being cash only can pose a variety of problems, according to Robert Derego, the owner of Sticky Grove, Crescent City’s only cannabis shop. Not only is it inconvenient for customers, but it also poses more of a risk of robbery. Derego has to take extra security measures to ensure the safety of his employees and his business. He tries to limit the amount of cash held in the store at any given time. He also has installed security cameras throughout the two room shop. But what Derego finds most inconvenient about being cash only is paying taxes. In order to pay them in cash, he must drive to Sacramento, as no place near Crescent City will take the cash-only payments. Additionally, it is entirely possible that after paying taxes, he will have lost income instead of earning, according to Derego. While most businesses can deduct business costs, such as rent, from their sales before paying taxes. Since marijuana retail is not a federally legal business, he cannot deduct business costs before paying his taxes, which makes his business’ income appear higher than it actually is. “As the retailer that is the biggest burden. It;s entirely possible that you make a loss after taxes,” Derego said. While he does not believe the SAFE Banking Act will make solve all of these problems, it could make things at least a little easier. “If it passes it still might be that you know not every bank is going to want to bank cannabis still it’s still gonna be federally illegal,” Derego said. “It might not solve everything, but i’m sure it would increase the amount of banks that decide to do business with cannabis businesses.”
Q: Does your agency have any advice for California about what that state should definitely include in its rules? Dion: Make it easy, but get as much info as you can. Be sure to test for (chronic wasting disease). Only require permittees to bring the head (not the entire carcass). Also, think of ways that people might try to cheat the system ahead of time, and try to get ahead of those loopholes. Make sure you require the entire carcass to be removed, so people don’t just take the back-straps and leave a mess on the side of road. Staff writer David Hayes contributed to this story.

he way Billy Lund remembers growing up country, it was out at his grandfather’s house where he was first exposed to the musical genre. “I’d hang out at Grandpa’s house, playing country music on the radio,” Lund recalled. “I played it so much, I converted the rest of the family.” However, his mom, Nancy, remembers an altogether different influence the music had on her son. “Leanne Rimes was on the radio when he first started listening. He’s always been passionate about country music. He couldn’t get his homework done, but he knew all the words to all the songs,” she said. These days, the Crescent City natives are on the same page as they promote the sixth-annual “Homegrown Country Against Cancer” fundraiser Nov. 2 at Elk Valley Casino. In 2010, Lund started his band, Whisky Weekend, named after the first song he ever wrote. “It’s a song about things I used to do - drink whisky, have a good time.” Then, in 2013, he expanded his growing country music roots into a good cause for the fight against cancer. “The fundraiser was for these three families with girls, all under the age of 10, with cancer. I don’t remember hearing about that sort of thing when I was young,” Lund said. “So, I reached out to Bicoastal Media and got Elk Valley Casino on board. It was a team effort.” The next year, Lund expanded the fundraising efforts to a bigger charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Over the five years of the charity concert, Lund said, they’ve raised more than $75,000. This year, he’s thinking bigger. “The goal this year is the $100,000 mark. I’d like to blow it away,” he said. To draw in the music fans, this year’s performances will be acoustic, featuring Lund and two other locals, Jessie G and Camryn Ciara. “Jessie has played shows in the past. She’s killing it, opening for Lynrd Skynyrd on their farewell tour,” Lund said. “She went to Nashville six years ago, hit the ground running. She opened for Gretchen Wilson. She’s just very, very, very talented. She’s on the way up. “Cameron is also insanely talented. She obviously didn’t have the connections Jessie did, but
she’s still one of the best female singers I’ve ever heard. It’s just a matter of time before she gets her break.” In addition to the entertainment will be live and silent auctions. Lund’s mom is helping him twist local arms to donate items to bid upon. “It’s a family effort. Mom has lived in Crescent City since I’ve been alive. She’s well connected and doesn’t mind going around hitting up everybody,” he said. While the final list of biddable items is still incomplete, Lund said his mother has secured donations from realtors, insurance agencies, beer companies, soda companies, anyone she could get to fill gift baskets and gift cards to keep people shopping local. His mother also auctions off her popular, hand-crafted Raggedy Ann dolls. “Everybody seems to have a lot of fun. There’s a lot of activities,” she said. “It’s something to get people out of the house. Everybody who goes seems to have a good time. And there’s enough auction items for something in everybody’s price range.” To fill out the auction items, Lund has twisted a few arms of his own in the country music industry. As an event venue booking agent and through his work in management companies, Lund has made contacts throughout the industry, getting country music stars to donate signed auction items. He said he’s not above sending out 5,000 to 8,000 emails soliciting the biggest names. “This year’s biggest donations, for me, were signed guitars by George Strait and Dolly Parton. You don’t get much bigger than that,” Lund said. “The country music community is very receptive to anything, especially to St. Jude.” Lund said there’ll be something for everyone, regardless if it’s for the music, the auction, the food or the games. “You should definitely come out. If nothing else, it’s for an incredible cause. “Don’t feel obligated to spend anything at the auction. The price of the ticket also goes to the cause,” he added. Tickets to the sixth-annual “Country Against Cancer” are $25 before the event online at https://bit. ly/31ziT0r, or in person at BiCoastal Media, 1345 Northcrest Drive, until Nov. 1. Tickets are $30 the day of the event and available at the door of Elk Valley Casino, 2500 Howland Hill Rd.
