Strike authorized

District, teachers bear down

By David Hayes Staff Writer

ore than 90% of the Del Norte Teachers Association’s members voted Dec. 18 to authorize the union’s executive board to call a strike if a contract settlement is not reached. “We want what’s best for our students, and extreme teacher turnover hurts our kids,” said union president Marshall Jones in a press

release. “Over the last three years, there has been a 47% turnover (in teachers) and that means some students see different educators on a monthly basis. This lack of consistency fails students, leaving them more unconnected than ever before.” The vote authorizes the chapter’s executive board to call a strike if no agreement is reached after the contract bargaining process has been

exhausted. That process will be finished when a state factfinder’s report is released Jan. 14. The two sides met with a state mediator on Dec. 5 in a factfinding session for more than 19 hours. Del Norte Superintendent Jeff Harris said the factfinding panel consisted of a representative for the teachers’ union, a representative of the school district, and a neutral representative from the State Public

Employee Relations Board. The neutral representative listened to arguments from both parties and worked to fully understand all issues, Harris said. The neutral representative has since filed a draft of their finding. “Both sides have a copy of the draft finding. Both are able to take a look at the report,” he said. “If no agreement is reached by Jan. 14, the report becomes public, published by the dis-

trict in its entirety for public to review. “Once it’s made public, the (teachers’ union) can strike and we move forward from there,” Harris told The Triplicate. “Obviously, we’re disappointed by where we are at this point in time,” he added. “While we’ve come to an agreement on a number of issues in the contract, the compensation in health and welfare are still an outstanding

issue. “We’re continuing negotiating, continuing to have conversations to reach a fair and equitable agreement that protects students and teachers as well.” At issue is the school district’s latest, best offer of a 1% guaranteed pay increase and a one-time, 1% pay increase based on current student enrollment numbers, according More Strike on Page A2

Prison’s Operation Santa brings Christmas early to Redwood Elementary School C

Happy Holidays T

o all of you readers, I wish you the very best of this remarkable season. Our family will be a bit scattered this year, but this week will find some of us lighting another Hanukkah candle, some of us will be lighting the last Advent candle, some of us simply will be hanging out by a fireplace awaiting Santa. Come Christmas Eve, Steve and I will be reading the Luke 2 story at our church. Like our readers, our family is a diverse group. We will celebrate this season in our own way - but all will be sharing the special joy and love. My Christmas wish for you is for your holiday to be filled with special joy and love, too.

Staff Report

hristmas came early Dec. 19 for students at Redwood Elementary School in Smith River, thanks to employees of Pelican Bay State Prison - and Santa Claus. Through the prison’s annual Operation Santa, about 100 kindergartners and first-graders at the school had presents delivered in person by Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick himself. Operation Santa, now in its ninth year, rotates to a different school each holiday season where students write out their wish list of four presents in a letter to Santa Claus. The letters then are “rerouted” to Pelican Bay State Prison. Employees and staff from each department select a letter and purchase gifts off the wish list, using their own money. Officers from the prison help deliver the presents to the school. One-by-one, a present is handed to Santa, who reads the name and personally hands each child a gift. The students are asked to wait until everyone has a gift in hand before opening them. Dolls, skateboards and bikes were among the mostsought presents wishes. Organizers said some that students, however, actually wished for supplies for their classrooms in the true spirit of the holiday. Redwood School Principal Theresa Slayton said the prison’s Operation Santa is an amazing program. “They are so generous. To carry this off is wonderful. “They worked with teachers two to three months ago. The teachers helped write the letters and delivered them by Thanksgiving. We have a large number of homeless families here, so Santa begins handing out presents to Redwood Elementary School students Dec. 19 during Operathis may be the only gift (a student gets).” tion Santa, helped by Mrs. Claus and officers from Pelican Bay State Prison.

Get your dog licensed by Feb. 4

el Norte County’s annual dog licensing period will run through Feb. 3, 2020. A state law and county ordinance mandate that dogs ages 4 months and older must be licensed each year and must be vaccinated for rabies. The annual license fees are $25 per dog, $15 if spayed or neutered. A reduced-fee license is available for qualifying lower-income pet owners. Residents ages 60 and older receive discounted fees.

acquired, or within 30 days of the expiration of a license obtained from another California county. A current rabies vaccination certificate issued by a veterinarian is required prior to a license being issued. Failing to renew or obtain a license may result in a court citation and possible fine, said officials. If a dog on the loose has its current license tag attached, and Del Norte County Animal Control can contact the owner the first day of impound to return the

dog, the animal gets one free ride home per license year if it’s within the county. Officials said all renewals must be completed by Feb. 3. Fees double thereafter. Any delinquent licenses are submitted to a collections process after April 1. A pet owner whose dog has died, or is no longer housed in Del Norte County, should notify animal control staff at 707-464-7235 so the owner is not held liable for delinquent licenses or collection fees.

Native Americans living on the reservation are exempted from the fee, as are service and seeing-eye dogs. Officials say licensing fees help pay for the care and adoption of homeless strays, as well as investigations of animal bites, cruelty, neglect, and the abandonment of domestic animals and livestock. Dogs must be licensed within 30 days of becoming 4 months old, within 30 days of entering the Del Norte County boundaries, within 30 days of being

n Strike Continued from Page A1 to district spokesman Michael Hawkins. Hawkins said the overall raises offered to the teachers by the district for this year may be only 2%, but they include “a hidden cost to the district that is not shown here from retirement and other benefits.” That comes to about a 2.6% cost increase to the district to give the teachers a 2% salary raise, he said. Jones said the teachers’ union disagrees that the district’s offer amounts to that much of a pay hike. He said the association’s negotiators are seeking a 3.26% raise, which would reflect a costof-living adjustment in state funding that the school district is expected to receive. Meantime, Jones said, he learned Dec. 12 that the school administration already is taking steps to keep schools open should the union strike. “(The) district has contracted to the Humboldt School District for substitutes to come up on buses to break up a strike,” Jones said he’d

learned from “intercepted correspondence.” “If teachers strike, the district seems to have an extra $366 to give subs to break up a strike,” said Jones. Del Norte school officials said in media reports that the correspondence Jones had intercepted was a confidential document sent to local building principals. Human Resources Director Colleen Parker acknowledged she had inquired of the Humboldt County Office of Education about dipping into its substitute teacher pool if a strike occurs here. On average, teachers in Del Norte County receive $366 a day. Parker said the administration is preparing a resolution to send to the district’s board of trustees on Jan. 9 detailing the administration’s recommended compensation for substitute teachers to fill in should a strike occur. Harris said keeping schools open during a potential strike is about more than instructional learning. “We are looking at how best to serve our students if, in fact, a strike occurs. Many families are dependent on school-provided breakfast and lunch, as well as providing a place to go during the day,

as some have two parents working. “We will continue, to the best of our ability, to provide services (and) a high-quality instructional day,” Harris said. Jones said that the contract negotiations now are more than about just pay raises. Rather, the talks also are about teacher retention. He pointed out that 25% of the union’s teachers are eligible to retire, which most of them are considering because of their perceived poor treatment by the school district’s management. Jones added that newly hired teachers are resigning weekly to seek employment in other districts. “There have been four resignations in the last few months because of the way teachers are being treated,” he said. “The last one was (Dec. 18).” He said there have been a minimal number of applicants for recent teacher vacancies and that “refusing to attract and retain great teachers creates a crisis that will cripple our community’s education for teachers, for parents and for students now and in the future. “Call it the ‘Ghost of Christmas future.’ This crisis is real and this crisis is now.”

Medical issue results in car crash P

olice said a driver experiencing a sudden medical issue led to a car crashing over an embankment and knocking out a fuel pump at the Brookings Fred Meyer gasoline station. According to police re-

Commercial Dungeness crab season now will open Dec. 31 T

he commercial Dungeness crab season in Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties is scheduled to open at 12:01 a.m. Dec. 31. The opening will be preceded by a 64-hour gear-setting period that would begin no earlier than 8:01 a.m. Dec. 28. Delays due to crab meat quality issues affect only the Dungeness crab fishery in this area (Fish and Game districts 6, 7, 8 and 9). Dungeness crab quality from Dec. 17 test results met the minimum guidelines established by the Tri-State Dungeness Crab Committee. Director Charlton H. Bonham had announced a delay to Dec. 31 based on a previous round of tests conducted Dec. 3. But the most-recent results mean no additional delay is warrant-

ed. No vessel may take or land crab in an area closed for a meat quality delay (i.e., Fish and Game districts 6, 7, 8 and 9 through Dec. 30). In addition, any vessel that takes, possesses onboard or lands crab from ocean waters outside of a delayed area is prohibited from participating in the crab fishery in any delayed area for 30 days following the opening of those areas. Permitted vessels that have already participated in the Dec. 15 opener south of the Sonoma-Mendocino county line would not be able to set gear in Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties until 12:01 a.m. Jan. 30. This applies to any delayed areas in Oregon and Washington as well.

COMICS/PUZZLES KING CROSSWORD

Garfield® by Jim Davis

Marmaduke ® by Brad Anderson

DEAR ABBY Girlfriend closely attached to son is distant to family DEAR ABBY: One of my sons is dating a young woman who seems to care deeply for him, but is very cool and distant to our family. He goes to nearly all of her family’s events, but she seldom comes to any of ours. She has been to one birthday get-together at a restaurant, a wedding and a play where I bought the tickets for her, myself and all my daughters-in-law. She has been invited to family dinners at one or another of our homes, Christmas celebrations, Thanksgivings, birthdays -- you name it -- but has not come to any of them. My husband and I hand-make our gifts to her, which require a lot of time and effort. Last year, she sent us each a gift for Christmas. They have been dating for several years. When they are apart, she texts him constantly. I am confused and troubled by her indifference to us. We have been more than welcoming to her. Is there anything I or we could do to help her warm up to us? -- FLUMMOXED MOM IN THE SOUTH DEAR FLUMMOXED: Have you talked with your son

By Abigail Van Buren about this? If not, you should. You are already doing everything you can, so prepare to batten down the hatches. If your son eventually marries this insecure young woman, she will continue isolating him from his family and absorb him into her own. When the grandchildren come, they will spend the majority of their time with her family and not yours. It is harsh, but it’s the truth. Unless your son is strong enough to put his foot down, it’s exactly what will happen. You have my sympathy. DEAR ABBY: I am a naturally thin young woman. Oftentimes, especially when I’m working in offices with older women, my co-workers comment on their dissatisfaction with their weight and how they wish their body could be more like mine. To be honest, I don’t equate thinness with beauty or fat with ugliness. But when I try to tell these women I think they are beautiful as they are, it’s received with suspicion, as if they think I don’t mean what I say. How can I respond to those who are unhappy with their weight without sounding insincere? I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. -- THIN IN FLORIDA

DEAR THIN: When your co-workers compliment you about your figure, smile and say thank you. Period. If they express dissatisfaction with their appearance, do not allow yourself to be drawn into the conversation. You can’t alleviate their insecurities; they haven’t believed you when you tried. Because the subject makes you uncomfortable, try changing the topic to another one. DEAR ABBY: Is there a place where I can donate puzzles? I always make sure all the pieces are there. I put them in a zip bag inside a taped box so anyone who gets them would be getting something that’s as good as new. I have a whole closet full, and I need to find a place to donate them. They are too nice to throw away. -WANTING TO SHARE IN WASHINGTON DEAR WANTING: I am sure that if you call around you will discover that senior centers, hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, churches, schools and rehabilitation facilities could put those puzzles to good use. It’s worth a try.

Soup dinner raises $5,000 for Pacific Pantry Staff Report

here was plenty going on in Del Norte County on Dec. 14’s cold, rainy evening: The Del Norte High School state championship football game, the Jaycees’ eighth-grade girls’ basketball tournament, a Madrigals dinner and a host of holiday parties. But even then, some 140 people turned out for the Empty Bowls Soup Fundraising Dinner at the Crescent City Cultural Center. The event was hosted by the Community Food Council to focus awareness on everyday food concerns locally, and to

raise funds to buy food for the Pacific Pantry. Andrea Lanctot, the Community Food Program coordinator, said the intimate event was a big success, raising $5,000. That’s enough to cover one month of food for the Pacific Pantry, said Lanctot. Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger, with each ceramic bowl representing a person in the world who is hungry. A $20 entrance fee gave guests a choice of a handmade ceramic bowl to take home, more than 15 varieties of soup, five different fresh-baked breads, coffee, hot chocolate and dessert cookies, accompanied by Alexandre

Farm’s flavored milks. Lanctot said Cal Fresh Health Living and Champions for Change were helpful in planning, cooking and assisting with the event. The HSU Ceramics lab, local ceramic artists and thrift stores donated more than 150 bowls. Soups were donated by volunteers and local restaurants Seaquake, Bellenotte, Good Harvest, Ocean 675 and Elk Valley Rancheria. Requa Inn and volunteers supplied homemade cookies. A silent auction featured 26 donated items including spa services, fishing and rafting trips, yoga passes, garden installations, and local art pieces

given by local businesses. The auction raised $1,400. Lanctot said Empty Bowls is part of a multifaceted fundraising campaign to keep the Pacific Pantry open after its city block grant funding expired Nov. 1. The Pacific Pantry, located at the Family Resource Center of the Redwoods and managed by the Community Food Council, is a choicebased food pantry that features local and organic products and serves more than 600 households a month with emergency food. Since launching the fundraising campaign Nov.12, $30,000 has been raised through an online crowdfunding

campaign, cranberry sauce sales and donations from Caldwell Clan, Wild Rivers Community Foundation, Humboldt Area Foundation, St. Joe’s Hospital, Elk Valley Rancheria and the Philanthropic Fund of the Caldwells. In addition, individual donations have ranged from $5 to $500. The pantry also has received support from schools and organizations that have hosted food drives. That said, Lanctot acknowledged the Pacific Pantry is not totally out of the weeds. Renewed city block grant funding will not be available until November 2020 and is not guaranteed. “The funding they

have raised will help them keep the pantry open through the winter months,” Lanctot said. “But ongoing fundraising and financial support will still be needed until sustainable funding is secured.” Donations can be made to Pacific Pantry through www.dnatlfood. com/donate.html, by writing a check to the Family Resource Center of the Redwoods (put “Pacific Pantry” in the memo line) or by dropping off food items to the Pacific Pantry at 494 Pacific Ave. High-protein food items are particularly needed, such as peanut butter, canned chicken and tuna, and nuts.

Food program cuts raise alarm with social services By David Hayes Staff Writer

ncertainty looms over the number of Del Norte County residents who will be affected by the Trump Administration’s tightening of rules regarding food stamps. The rule in question is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),

which applies to “able-bodied adults with no dependents.” Some geographic areas with above-average unemployment have been using waivers to keep people on SNAP benefits longer than the mandated maximum of three months during a threeyear period. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, counties with an unemploy-

ment rate as low as 2.5% were included in those areas. That changes April 1, 2020 to a new low of 6% to receive a waiver. The USDA estimates that in 2019 there were more than 36 million Americans receiving SNAP benefits, up from 17 million in 2000. It expects that about 7% of those beneficiaries are “able-bodied adults without dependents.”

So about 688,000 recipients would be removed nationally from the program under the new rules. The Trump Administration estimates the rule change will save the government $5.5 billion over five years. Melody Cannon-Cutts, Del Norte County’s Health and Human Service director, said the SNAP program falls under the CalFresh Healthy

Child with lighter sparks fire at Brookings residential structure

Living benefits program. She confirmed that Del Norte County has utilized the waiver program to keep residents on SNAP. “Historically, Del Norte County has had a higher unemployment rate than the rest of California,” Cannon-Cutts said, adding that as of this past October, 2,895 households were receiving CalFresh benefits.

OBITUARIES Harold “Pete” Gardner May 8, 1941 Dec. 13, 2019

child playing with a lighter sparked a structure fire Tuesday on Railroad Street in Brookings, according to investigators. Shortly after 8:30 a.m., Brookings Fire and Rescue Department crews were dispatched to a closet fire in a bedroom at 322 Railroad St. The first arriving unit reported smoke showing. All of the occupants and family pets had fled the house, said Brookings Fire and Rescue Operations Chief James Watson. Firefighters entered the building and quickly extinguished the fire, said officials. It was located in and confined to one room, they said. Some smoke damage was found in other parts of the house and no injuries were reported. Eleven firefighters, a command unit and three engines responded. The Brookings Police Department, Harbor Fire Department and Coos Curry Electric Coop assisted at the scene. Watson said the fire department’s investigation pointed to a minor playing with a lighter as the cause of the fire, which resulted in an estimated $10,000 to 15,000 in damage costs and content losses.

Waiver requirements go hand in hand with poverty, employment, gender and the ability to provide food in the home, Cannon-Cutts said. She said the waivers still exist in California. “Nothing is finalized at this point. When there is a new methodology, they’ll work out who it impacts when the new rule starts. We hope the waivers will still apply.”

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 comfort-

able. 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 was wanting to go fishing for steelhead. When we think of him now, we see him fishing. Please join us in a remembrance celebration on Saturday January 4th, 2020 at 1:00 pm at the Howonquet Hall Community Center, 101 Indian Court, Smith River, CA. Arrangements are under the direction of Wier ’s Mortuary Chapel. Please sign the family’s online guest book at wiersmortuary.com
