16 and up are eligible for vaccine as case rates climb

By ZACK DEMARS The Triplicate

Del Norte County has expanded its COVID-19 eligibility as case rates tick up across the county.

On the vaccine front, county officials on April 1 expanded the group eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines to include anyone over 16, in the face of a drop off in demand at the county’s vaccination sites.

The move — ahead of the April 15 date for that group to become eligible in all California counties — means vaccine administration sites can offer Johnson & Johnson and Moderna doses to anyone 18

and older and the Pfizer vaccine to anyone 16 or older, regardless their health conditions or other factors.

“As a reminder, all these vaccines work very well, and the basic rule is to get the vaccine that is easiest for you to get access, too,” wrote Public Health Officer Dr. Warren Rehwaldt in a release. “At this point, there should be no reason for anyone to not get a vaccine of some sort, if so desired.”

So far, just under 10,000 doses of a vaccine have been administered in Del Norte County.

As for the spread of the virus in the community, case rates have increased over the past several

weeks, with 104 new cases reported between March 23 and April 5.

April 1, with 34 new cases reported in the county, was the highest single day of new cases since mid-December. Most other days since the end of March have reported double-digit case counts across the county, a trend not seen since winter.

The increases put the county on the path for a return to the restrictive purple tier of regulations, according to state data. Since restrictions are based on several weeks of data, Del Norte County remains in the red tier for the time being, but that could change if case

rates continue to climb.

Meanwhile, all of Del Norte’s neighbors — and the vast majority of the state’s population — have moved into the less-restrictive orange tier after the state hit a vaccination benchmark Tuesday loosening the requirements to enter that tier.

State officials also announced Tuesday plans to phase out that current color-coded tier system of virus restrictions June 15.

At that time, the state will “fully reopen its economy” if vaccine supply is sufficient for adults who wish to receive a dose, and if hospitalizations statewide

Vaccine clinic open to all adults

remain stable and low, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced.

That full reopening would do away with almost all pandemic-related capacity restrictions on businesses, with a few limits on large events, as well as masking, testing and contract tracing requirements still in place across the state.

State officials have remained vague about what benchmarks will allow the state to move forward with that plan, and said the state would continue monitoring case rates and virus variant spread before that takes place.

Shelby Bodenstab and her team of nurses have been averaging about 150 shots in arms per day at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds vaccinations site.

By KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate

Walk-ins are now welcome at the mass vaccination site at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds, which is open every Tuesday and Wednesday 10 a.m. to noon on a rolling basis.

Shelby Bodenstab, senior public health nurse for Del Norte County, said they have received an increase in vaccine supply, but demand is lagging behind. She said they are

administering an average of 150 shots per day at the fairground site, however, they have the capacity to give out double that amount.

Public Health Authority Dr. Warren Rehwaldt announced last week that vaccinators in the county would be allowed to give the Pfizer vaccine to anyone 16 and older, and individuals 18 and older could receive any of the vaccines, as of April 1. Nevertheless, demand for vaccines has remained fairly flat at

the fairgrounds, said Bodenstab.

In an effort to increase ease of access to the shot, the vaccination site at the fairgrounds is now accepting anyone 18 or older, no appointment necessary, said Bodenstab. The site primarily offers the Moderna vaccine, but they are also administering the Johnson and Johnson shot to some at-risk individuals.

“If somebody wants a vaccine, we want there to be not a lot of barriers in the way,” said Bodenstab.

“If we have the supply, and we have people that want it, we want them to get it.”

Bodenstab said she thinks demand could be low in-part because people in the community do not know they are eligible for the vaccine.

“People are saying ‘Well, I didn’t think it was my turn yet.’ Everybody is being really deferential and Please see CLINIC, Page A3

Del Norte golf team closes season

By KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate

The Del Norte High School boy’s golf team finished 5th overall in the final tournament of the shortened season.

Eight teams totaling 35 golfers participated in the tournament held at Del Norte County golf course Monday: Eureka, Arcata, St. Bernard, Fortuna, McKinleyville, Hoopa, South Fork and Del Norte.

Del Norte’s Blake Larson was the team’s low scorer with a 96 for the round. With the help of teammates Damon Molina, Anthony DeVos, and Nathan DeNichols, the Warriors secured a team total of 444 that narrowly edged out McKinleyville, a team that was operating with an additional golfer.

Eureka finished first overall with a team total of 351. Talon Vigil from Eureka and Riley Mosher from Arcata tied for the tournament’s individual lows with matching 84s.

Blake Lopez, Del Norte High School golf coach, said COVID and a few rainouts hindered the season, but the team showed signs of improvement during the Please see GOLF, Page A3

State Sen. Mike McGuire promised local officials he would keep Del Norte County and the North Coast on the top of his mind while working in the California Legislature this year.

McGuire, while speaking with the Crescent City and Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce, said he has already worked to help the North Coast, but more good news will be coming.

He discussed the issue on the top of everyone’s minds, COVID-19 and the vaccine. He said good news is coming quickly to California.

“One-size-fits-all doesn’t work for the North Coast and it doesn’t fit Del Norte County,” McGuire said.

“Long-term, the outlook for vaccine looks incredibly promising. The federal government asked the state to get prepped for 4 million vaccines a week. We’ve been receiving about 1.8 million vaccines a week.”

To prepare, the state has asked every county for a plan to distribute the vaccine. McGuire said Del Norte County has turned in its plan and it is being reviewed. He said in just a matter of weeks, the vaccine increase will begin.

“The short-term doesn’t look as robust,” McGuire said. “We’ve been averaging about 1.8 million vaccines, but I promise you it will get better. We anticipate 4 million vaccines coming to California. That doesn’t include pharmacies like Walmart. They get them directly from the federal government.”

McGuire said the state will also increase funding to reach hard-toreach communities.

With the vaccine providing a promising future, McGuire said it is time to think about economic recovery. He said the state has already taken some key steps to help.

“If you’re a landlord and you are owed back rent, you need to apply for the tenant relief dollars,” McGuire said.

He said the state is willing to pay 80 percent of back rent to make tenants complete.

“The economic recovery plan being launched by this state is focused on small businesses,” McGuire said.

He said 13 out of every 14 businesses in Del Norte County have received some grant funding during the pandemic. More funding will be available soon, he said.

McGuire also said the North Coast is primed to benefit over the summer as people travel closer to home.

“People are going to be reluctant to get on planes for at least the next year,” he said. “People are going to go on road trips. This will greatly benefit the North Coast.”

McGuire also said the state is dePlease see MCGUIRE, Page A11

Court rules governor negotiated in bad faith with Indian tribes In a victory for five California gaming tribes, a federal district court ruled on March 31, 2021, in favor of five Indian tribes who argued that the State of California negotiated gaming compacts in bad faith. Negotiations between the State of California and many of the 74 gaming tribes began in 2014.

In 2019, the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, Blue Lake Rancheria, Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, Hopland Band of Pomo Indians, and Robinson Rancheria sued the state over the state’s insistence that the tribes include provisions in their new compacts that were improper under federal law.

“The Tribe had a compact with the state that had worked since 1999, so the Tribe was hopeful that a new compact would be negotiated fairly quickly,” said Lloyd Mathiesen, Chairman of Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians. “We tried, but after five years of negotiations it was painfully clear that the state wanted more from the Tribe than it had a right to ask for. The state’s actions threatened our sovereignty. We had no choice but to resist, and litigation became our only option.”

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act is a federal law that requires an agreement between a tribe and a state, known as a tribal-state gaming compact, before a tribe can operate what is commonly thought of as Nevada-style gambling. Recognizing that the compact requirement infringed on tribal sovereignty, Congress established a limited number of subjects that may be negotiated and that states must negotiate in good faith. Courts have since established that a state may offer a tribe a meaningful concession—something other than basic gaming rights or a right that a tribe already has—to rebut the suggestion of bad faith arising from an

“The Tribe had a compact with the state that had worked since 1999, so the Tribe was hopeful that a new compact would be negotiated fairly quickly. We tried, but after five years of negotiations it was painfully clear that the state wanted more from the Tribe than it had a right to ask for. The state’s actions threatened our sovereignty.

improper demand.

“During negotiations, the Tribes took clear positions on what we believed were proper and improper subjects of negotiation, and those positions were based on what the law actually says and how courts have interpreted the law,” said Lester J. Marston, attorney for Plaintiffs Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Mew-Wuk Indians, Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, Robinson Rancheria, and Hopland Band of Pomo Indians. “The state disagreed, but with this order, the federal court confirmed that the Tribes were right.”

The court agreed with the tribes that the state had insisted that the compact negotiations include provisions prohibited by federal law, including state tort and environmental laws, subjecting the tribes to the jurisdiction of non-tribal local governments, contributions to a state grant fund, state minimum wage laws, anti-discrimination laws, labor laws and recognition of state spousal and child support orders.

gaming activities?”

The court determined that the inclusion of these topics, over the tribes’ objections had nothing to do with the regulation of gaming activities or were topics that were not at the heart of the gaming activity and required the state to provide meaningful concessions in exchange for the Tribes agreeing to be bound by these state laws. The court found that the state refused to offer or identify any meaningful concessions.

“In addition to providing jobs to our members and the local community, our casino is a critical source of revenue for our government and social services,” said Sierra Pencille, Chair of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe.

“After multiple closures this past year as a result of COVID-19, it is an incredible relief that the court granted the Tribe’s motion for summary judgment and we now have one less worry going forward. We just hope that the Governor and state do not appeal this order.”

As the immediate remedy, the court ordered the parties to conclude a compact within 60 days of the order or to provide a proposed stipulation to extend the time for concluding the compact.

OBITUARIES Ernest “Ernie” Bumgarner October 2, 1929 - March 15, 2021

Ernest “Ernie” Bumgarner, age 91, of Sylva, North Carolina, passed away on Monday March 15, 2021.

He was the husband of the late Milly Bumgarner and the son of the late Charlie and Lennis Bumgarner. Mr. Bumgarner was an active member of Love’s Chapel United Methodist Church.

He was actively involved in the American Legion Post 104. Ernie loved playing golf, especially with his brother Clyde. He enjoyed

all types of sports and dearly loved his family. Ernie was a 1949 graduate of Sylva High School and served in the U.S. Army in Korea from 1951 until 1953. He was a parole officer for the Sylva Police Department. Ernie moved to the Redwoods of Northern California where he was a logger, tugboat operator and timber faller.

He served as a supervisor of the logging operations for fifteen years before retiring in 1991. He and Milly then moved back to the family

property in Sylva. In addition to his wife and parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters; Helen Johnson and Dorothy Davis; and his twin brother, Clyde Bumgarner.

Mr. Bumgarner is survived by one son, Jim Bumgarner; three grandchildren, Debra Howland, Scott Bumgarner and Melissa Bumgarner; and five great grandchildren. Also are surviving one brother, L.C. Bumgarner; his niece, Nancy Williams; and several other nieces and nephews.

Padilla announces nearly $1 billion in funding for California community health centers U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) recently announced that 175 community health centers in California will receive nearly $1 billion to expand access to COVID-19 vaccines, provide ongoing testing and treatment and ensure vulnerable communities have access to the care they need amid the ongoing pandemic.

This funding is a result of the American Rescue Plan that Senator Padilla voted to pass in Congress and was signed into law last month,

and is part of a $6 billion investment nationwide to help Community Health Centers expand access to vaccines.

These health centers serve communities of color, rural areas, low-income populations and other underserved communities.

“We cannot turn the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic until vaccines are widely distributed and accessible everywhere,” Padilla said.

“By providing nearly $1 billion to California Community Health Centers, we can

get shots to our hardest hit and hardest to reach communities. This is why I voted for the American Rescue Plan — it is an investment in the Californians who need it most. This funding will help get us past the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare our Community Health Centers to better serve their communities for years to come.”

The Health Resources and Services Administration, will provide this funding starting in April to nearly 1,400 centers across the country,

including 175 in California.

This funding will: • Expand COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, and treatment for vulnerable populations; • Deliver preventive and primary health care services to people at higher risk for COVID-19; and • Expand health centers’ operational capacity during the pandemic and beyond, including modifying and improving physical infrastructure and adding mobile units.

thinking about others,” said Bodenstab. “The reality is now we are at that point, and the supply has really opened up.”

While supply is high, individuals from neighboring communities, especially Curry and Humboldt counties are traveling to Del Norte to get a shot.

“We have a lot of people that work in our community that live in Oregon...they’re really part of our community because there is so much crossover between our communities,” she said.

Bodenstab added the Del Norte and Curry County public health departments have been working side-byside throughout the pandemic in case tracking, and now, vaccine distribution.

Urban-rural divide is alive and well

By Allen Best

Pushback against a “meatless day” proclaimed

by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis last month was predictably vigorous. It was part of the “war on rural Colorado,” said a state senator who runs a cattle-feeding operation.

Twenty-six of Colorado’s 64 counties adopted “meat-in” proclamations. Governors from the adjoining states of Wyoming and Nebraska even gleefully designated an “eatmeat” day.

Afterward, Polis’s press aides pointed to the hundreds of do-good proclamations the governor issues each year, and the governor quickly declared his beef brisket the rival of any in Colorado.

But this proclamation differed from those affirming truck drivers, bat awareness and breakfast burritos. It called for broad change.

Using the language of a “MeatOut” Day proclamation written by an animal rights group, his statement cited the benefits of a plantbased diet in reducing our carbon footprint, preserving ecosystems and preventing animal cruelty. It also noted the growing alternatives to meat, dairy and eggs.

In the 1880s, when my great-grandparents homesteaded in eastern Colorado, they grazed cattle on the short-grass prairie.

Ranchers still do. Once off the range, though, our beef production is best understood as an industrial process. The foundation is grain.

In his book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, Bill Gates explains the modern pyramid of protein: A chicken eats two calories’ worth of grain to give us one calorie of poultry. For cattle, it’s six calories of feed to produce one calorie of beef. I’ve stood in rows of corn tassels 12 feet high at maturity, the growth boosted by luxuriant applications of fertilizer.

I’ve pinched my nose while driving past feedlots large enough for 80,000 or more

Allen Best head. I’ve heard the bellow of cows minutes away from the knife at slaughterhouses.

Denver no longer has slaughterhouses but still prides itself on its livestock heritage. The annual Western Stock Show puts cowboy hats in high-end restaurants and strip joints alike. Cattle represent 50% of Colorado’s $7 billion agriculture economy, and livestock altogether 70%.

After Polis’s proclamation, livestock producers debated boycotting Denver’s Stock Show for other venues — perhaps Oklahoma.

Even a legislator from one of metro Denver’s poorer neighborhoods objected to Polis’s proclamation, pointing out that nutritious vegetarian options aren’t available to many of her constituents.

But it’s not just lowincome areas that lack meal choices. Fast-food franchises in big cities and small towns all cater to the lowestcommon denominator, their high-volume enterprises predicated on cheap meat, especially beef. The consequences are that we now have bulbous bellies and too many heart attacks. We struggle to live with restraint.

The meaty issue here is not about meat vs. no-meat. Rather, it’s about scale and processes.

What have we sacrificed in pursuit of volume?

Credit the ranchers who graze cattle holistically in an attempt to replicate the oncevast herds of bison. But also note that grass-fed beef needs buyers. Most holistically raised cows get further

fattened on grain. That’s where the market is.

There’s also the looming issue of cows contributing to climate change, as highly polluting methane comes out of both ends of cattle. Gates, always the technologist, insists that innovation can reduce the carbon output of agriculture by reducing our yen for real beef. He put his money where my mouth is by investing in a vegetarian product called the Impossible Burger. Last week I had one. It fooled me. I thought it was beef.

Meanwhile, the urbanrural divide remains starkly real and evident in voting and development patterns.

While cities struggle to contain their growth, many small towns struggle to hang on. Ironically, the economies of most of these at-risk rural towns are premised on industrial-scale agriculture.

Rural Colorado never has liked Polis, a savvy businessman from the exurbs of Boulder who favors market solutions. He had barely warmed his gubernatorial seat when handmade signs began showing up on rural country roads asking “Why does Polis hate…” You fill in the blank.

This meatless proclamation was tone-deaf. It could have narrowly affirmed meatless alternatives rather than decried meat. Denial and anger will not prevail, though. I’m reminded of when coal producers, 10 and 15 years ago, were fighting the future of renewables instead of figuring out their place in the world to come.

Though most of us may continue to eat beef, some of us have already begun to shift away. Polis was perhaps the unwitting messenger of that truth — that cows in the West are no longer sacred.

Five tips for securing COVID-19 vaccine appointments

By James C. Appleby In the United States, more than eight in 10 COVID-19 deaths have occurred among those of us aged 65 or above.

This sobering statistic sheds light on just how devastating this pandemic has been for older Americans, and far too many have lost loved ones to this disease.

Thankfully, a postCOVID-19 world is coming into view in the distance.

Americans now have access to three safe and extremely effective vaccines, and reports show that cases are declining among nursing home staff and residents.

The arrival of these medical breakthroughs - which are available for free - could very well spell the difference between life and death for many, which is precisely why the CDC recommends that states prioritize older Americans in their vaccine distribution plans.

Most states have heeded this advice and placed seniors at the front of the line.

Unfortunately, though, many older Americans have reported difficulty accessing vaccines. Online scheduling systems are often difficult to navigate, making them

inaccessible to the 22 million seniors who lack in-home internet. Many others have struggled to secure rides to distribution sites, and even in Massachusetts, where companion vaccination guidelines were granted, challenges still exist.

But with persistence - and a little help - there is no reason why every eligible American senior shouldn’t get their vaccine in the next few months.

Here are five tips to secure a timely COVID-19 vaccine appointment and obtain full vaccination for yourself or an older loved one: Ask for help: Remember that you don’t have to go it alone. Reach out to friends, family and neighbors for assistance. Many senior centers and local places of worship stand ready to help. If you have specific transportation concerns, plan ahead and ask if someone is willing to give you a ride.

Research your state’s distribution plan: Each state has issued its own guidance for vaccine distribution. Visit www.

CDC.gov to learn more about the rollout plan in your area.

Sign up for appointment alerts: Many state and local governments have automated

Mailing: PO Box 277 Crescent City, CA

systems that will alert you when you are eligible and where they are available.

Call your doctor: Many clinics, pharmacies, health systems and community health centers administer - or plan to administer - vaccines. Ask your doctor if they currently offer vaccine appointments and, if so, request notification when one becomes available. Be sure to check with all your doctors, especially if they are in different health systems.

Be persistent: Remember that you might not secure an appointment on your first attempt. That’s OK. Go in with the right mindset and the expectation that you (or your loved one who is helping schedule the appointment) might have to try a few times before successfully booking one.

At times, landing a vaccine appointment might feel impossible. But with a determined attitude, a bit of preparation, dogged persistence, increasing supply and some help from those in your circle, what feels impossible can be accomplished.

Letters to the Editor Well done Last April, my husband and I had to cancel plans to revisit the redwoods and the Northwest coast after an absence of more than 40 years. Since then, I periodically checked the many newspapers between Eugene and San Francisco in order to determine an opportune time to reschedule. Among those papers was the Del Norte Triplicate. The quality of your reporting and the way your paper threaded communities and people together is outstanding, to say the least. During a time when people seem to prefer to read and believe only what they want to hear as opposed to what they need to hear, you presented facts, spoke truth and provided a forum for civil discourse. That is what freedom of the press is all about. I hope your readers and advertisers recognize the jewel that you are.

Stop teen tobacco use We are S.T.O.R.M, a youth group consisting of high school students in Del Norte County that advocates for a tobacco-free community, and we are writing this letter in light of Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action, which was on April 1. We are concerned about the growing trend that is appearing at our schools and all around this town, which is tobacco use.

Specifically the usage of products like vapes, cigarettes and chew; which we notice all around our community and even at school among our peers.

Did you know that approximately about 1.5 million packs of cigarettes are purchased for minors every year? In fact, 4 out of 5 of our local stores with pharmacies sell tobacco products when pharmacies should be places where people go to improve their health. Also, on average, teenagers who smoke are three times more

DEAR ABBY

likely to use alcohol, eight times more likely to smoke marijuana and 22 times more likely to use cocaine.

According to the California Student Tobacco Survey, over 12% of high school students in Del Norte County currently use tobacco products. If this number grows, then many high school students will have tried tobacco products within their four years of school putting them at higher risk of future use of alcohol, marijuana and other drugs.

As high schoolers, we are worried for our generation, especially when the CDC states that 90% of adult smokers started before they were 18 years old. Our hope is that our community will stand together in preventing tobacco use among young people and make changes to promote a tobacco-free community.

Sincerely, S.T.O.R.M Youth Group (Standing Together Overcoming addiction with a Radical Movement)

MIDDLE-AGED MAN HAS BONE TO PICK WITH MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN DEAR ABBY: I have something to say about “Still Fun in the South” (Jan. 4) and her complaint that single middle-aged men only look for younger women, instead of women their age.

I am a 53-year-old widower. I have a six-figure income. I’m smart, healthy, easygoing and have a good life with many hobbies and interests.

On multiple dating apps, I have swiped right on dozens of women my age. My main criteria were that they weren’t fanatically religious or rabidly political. Would you like to know how many swipe rights I received in return?

Not one! I feel middle-aged women are far more picky than their younger counterparts, which is why I’m currently in a relationship with a woman in her mid-30s. I don’t pursue younger women -- they pursue me while the women around my age couldn’t be bothered.

I realize my dating experience is anecdotal, and there are extenuating circumstances (COVID), but I don’t like being lumped into a category and complained about as if middle-aged women share none of the responsibility.

I want to tell “Still Fun” that if she wants a relationship with someone her age, she needs to be a little less judgmental and picky and give those middle-aged men who actually show an interest a chance. She might find there’s more to them than appears in a dating profile. -- SEASONED IN SALT LAKE CITY DEAR SEASONED: The responders to “Still Fun’s” letter pointed out the advantages AND disadvantages of dating people younger, older and the same age. But the common denominator for successful dating, according to those readers, is to emphasize what you are

happy about in your life and describe your passions and interests. Someone who exudes confidence, a love of life and who doesn’t come across as desperate for a permanent move-in partner can do very well.

DEAR ABBY: Our daughter is engaged to the most wonderful young man. We all got along very well, including his parents with us. After one discussion about politics, they realized we’re on opposite sides of the spectrum and everything changed. They no longer call, or they hesitate to answer our calls.

We want to make things better because our daughter is deeply in love with their son, and she loves his parents. Could you please provide some suggestions? -- OOPS! IN VIRGINIA DEAR OOPS!: I can try, but there are no guarantees. While you and the other set of parents may disagree about solutions to the problems in this country, on one subject you should all be unified. That subject is wanting the happiness of your children and grandchildren when you are blessed with them. For this reason, make an agreement to put aside political differences, never again discuss them and work cooperatively together toward your mutual goal. However, if they cannot agree, you and your husband must accept that there may be a strain in your relationship until time can heal the breach.

REDWOOD TRUST DEED SERVICES, INC., as said Trustee ATTN: ROBERT CULLEN P.O. BOX 6875 SANTA ROSA, CA 95406-0875 By: ROBERT CULLEN, President 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) 683- 2468 or visit this Internet Web site: www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the Trustee Sale number assigned to this file, T.S. #20155- RT. 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 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 (800) 683-2468 , or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20155-RT 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder”, you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

April 1st snow survey results for the Scott River sub-basin The Klamath National Forest has completed the April snow surveys. These measurements are a part of the statewide California Cooperative Snow Survey program, which helps the state forecast the amount of water available for agriculture, power generation, recreation and stream flow releases later in the year.

Although the snowpack is still lower than average, a series of small to moderate snow events this month have brought the monthly measurements for April closer to normal than in March.

According to measurements taken for the April survey, the snowpack is at 80% of the historic average snow height (snow depth) and at 71% of the historic Snow Water Equivalent (“SWE”, measure of water content) across all survey points (see results table).

April 1st is an important date for surveying snow because early April is histor-

ically when the snowpack is at its maximum; this date has the greatest weight when the state forecasts annual water availability. To gain additional data for April, three extra locations are added to the surveys for this month to supplement the usual five Scott River watershed snow measurement sites. Of these, Etna Mountain and Box Camp are also in the Scott River drainage, and Wolford Cabin is within the Trinity River basin. These additional sites are generally considered too remote or difficult to access on a monthly basis.

Snow surveys are conducted monthly during the winter and spring months (February-May). Forest service employees travel to established sites in the headwaters of the Scott River watershed to collect information about snow accumulation in the mountains of the Klamath National Forest. The newest measuring site at Scott Mountain

has been monitored for over 30 years; the oldest site at Middle Boulder has been monitored for over 70 years.

Some sites are located close to forest roads with good access, while others require hours of travel by snowshoe and/or snowmobile.

The height of snow and snow water equivalent are measured by a snow sampling tube with a cutter end that is driven through the snowpack, measuring depth. The snow core is then weighed to determine the water content. The information is forwarded to the state of California, where the data is compiled with other snow depth reports and becomes part of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys program.

The data is managed by the California Department of Water Resources; more information is available on their website at https://cdec.water. ca.gov/snow/current/snow/ index.html.

“Del Norte Scenes” Exhibit Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness presents the work of artist Edward Reidel, who recently won First Place in DNACA’s 29th annual Juried Art Exhibition.

Lawmakers urge President Biden to rectify cannabis firings Last week, 30 Members of Congress, led by U.S. Reps.

Jared Huffman (D-CA), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Don Beyer (D-VA), Mondaire Jones (D-NY), and Barbara Lee (D-CA), urged President Joe Biden to rectify instances in which several White House staffers were reportedly suspended, put on probation or asked to resign after honestly disclosing past cannabis use. In addressing these reports, the lawmakers asked the White House to clarify its employment suitability policies, remove past cannabis use as a potential disqualifier and apply these policies with consistency and fairness.

“While we work to deschedule cannabis legislatively, your administration should act within its power to stop legitimizing unfair cannabis laws,” the lawmakers wrote to President Biden. “You have previously

expressed your commitment to decriminalizing cannabis in acknowledgement that a cannabis conviction or even the stigma of cannabis use can ruin lives and prevent people from voting, gaining employment and contributing to society.

You can meet this moment and help end our failed punitive policy of cannabis prohibition.”

In their letter to President Biden, the lawmakers noted that cannabis is legal for either medical or adult use in 36 states, with more than 50% of the adult population having used cannabis in their lifetimes. That includes formers presidents and current senior officials.

“The existing policies have been applied in inconsistent and unfair ways,” the lawmakers added. “Those in the upper ranks of your administration won’t face consequences for their cannabis

use, and nor should they, but the same standard should be applied across the administration. Repercussions for cannabis use have always been unequal and those with the most power have always faced the fewest consequences. We ask that you don’t allow that pattern to continue within your administration.”

In addition to Huffman, Blumenauer, Beyer, Jones, and Lee, the letter was signed

by Reps. Joaquin Castro, Steve Cohen, Gerald Connolly, Peter DeFazio, Theodore Deutch, Adriano Espaillat, Dwight Evans, Jesús “Chuy” García, Alcee Hastings, Pramila Jayapal, Henry “Hank” Johnson, Jr., Ro Khanna, Ted Lieu, Alan Lowenthal, James McGovern, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Ilhan Omar, Mark Pocan, Ayanna Pressley, Jan Schakowsky, Eric Swalwell, Rashida Tlaib, Nydia Velázquez, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Peter Welch.

April 1st snow survey results for the Scott River sub-basin The Klamath National Forest has completed the April snow surveys. These measurements are a part of the statewide California Cooperative Snow Survey program, which helps the state forecast the amount of water available for agriculture, power generation, recreation and stream flow releases later in the year.

Although the snowpack is still lower than average, a series of small to moderate snow events this month have brought the monthly measurements for April closer to normal than in March.

According to measurements taken for the April survey, the snowpack is at 80% of the historic average snow height (snow depth) and at 71% of the historic Snow Water Equivalent (“SWE”, measure of water content) across all survey points (see results table).

April 1st is an important date for surveying snow because early April is histor-

ically when the snowpack is at its maximum; this date has the greatest weight when the state forecasts annual water availability. To gain additional data for April, three extra locations are added to the surveys for this month to supplement the usual five Scott River watershed snow measurement sites. Of these, Etna Mountain and Box Camp are also in the Scott River drainage, and Wolford Cabin is within the Trinity River basin. These additional sites are generally considered too remote or difficult to access on a monthly basis.

Snow surveys are conducted monthly during the winter and spring months (February-May). Forest service employees travel to established sites in the headwaters of the Scott River watershed to collect information about snow accumulation in the mountains of the Klamath National Forest. The newest measuring site at Scott Mountain

has been monitored for over 30 years; the oldest site at Middle Boulder has been monitored for over 70 years.

Some sites are located close to forest roads with good access, while others require hours of travel by snowshoe and/or snowmobile.

The height of snow and snow water equivalent are measured by a snow sampling tube with a cutter end that is driven through the snowpack, measuring depth. The snow core is then weighed to determine the water content. The information is forwarded to the state of California, where the data is compiled with other snow depth reports and becomes part of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys program.

The data is managed by the California Department of Water Resources; more information is available on their website at https://cdec.water. ca.gov/snow/current/snow/ index.html.

Huffman presses transportation secretary on Last Chance Grade funding U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman questioned U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg during a hearing last week, highlighting the precarious nature of Last Chance Grade on U.S. Highway 101 just south of Crescent City.

Huffman invited Buttigieg to visit the North Coast to see “one of the most beautiful places in the world” while noting “I would love to show you a lot of aging and failing infrastructure, including highways, roads and bridges.”

“I believe that if you’re endlessly fixing a section of highway that keeps failing you shouldn’t use expensive Band-Aids forever. … The poster child for this problem is on a rugged stretch of coastline in my district just south of Crescent City where Highway 101 clings sometimes to a very steep, crumbling cliff high above the ocean,” Huffman told Buttigieg. “It’s known as Last Chance Grade, and because the hillside is constantly sliding, the road is often closed for weeks or months at

a time while Caltrans figures out another way to temporarily keep it from falling into the ocean. This is our main north-south transportation corridor … and we know that a massive failure that would cost the region $130 million annually, in addition to whatever lives would be lost, is just a matter of time.”

Last Chance Grade is a three-mile section of Highway 101 that has been sliding for decades. In recent weeks, the area has seen a revolving door of openings and closings amid landslides that completely covered the roadway. Three workers were injured in the middle of March after a tree fell.

For years, Caltrans has been working on an alternative route around Last Chance Grade. According to LastChanceGrade.com, that should be done by 2039.

Huffman pressed Buttigieg for federal funding to support that work.

“We’re going to need a significant federal investment to get it done,” Huffman said. “So, Secretary

Buttigieg, can you discuss what the administration wants to do for projects like Last Chance Grade where critical infrastructure keeps failing and really needs to be rerouted and replaced?”

Buttigieg did not directly answer the question but urged moving forward with resilient infrastructure.

“We recognize that the conditions are shifting.

Sometimes literally the ground is shifting beneath the infrastructure that we are contemplating, and sometimes the right answer will change if not within the lifetime of the authorization, certainly within the lifetime of the project,” the transportation secretary said. “Shame on us if we’re building roads or bridges or anything else that’s expected to last into the 2070s without thinking about how that’s going to look different than the 1970s. I think that forward-looking approach to resiliency needs to be woven into every part of the way we approach our infrastructure spending.”

State Sen. Mike Mcguire talks during a press conference just before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out last year.

McGuire From Page A1

termined to fix Last Chance Grade, both in the short-term and long-term.

“Folks have a right to feel incredibly angry, frustrated, deeply concerned,” McGuire said. “Frankly, folks have a right to be pissed.”

He said the state is viewing Last Chance Grade in two ways. No. 1, they must get the road open for two-lane traffic as soon as possible. No. 2, they must find a permanent solution to make Highway 101 work for generations to come.

He said one option being considered for the long-term solution is the current route, but McGuire said he doesn’t like it and will fight for an inland route.

“We’re working as quickly as possible to get this fixed under the slide,” McGuire said. “We’re working to get the project done by middle to late summer, so we can get both lanes open.”

Jaime Matteoli with CalTrans said a lot of work is being

done on Last Chance Grade.

“Our mission is to build a safe, reliable, long-term solution,” he said. “I’m confident we will be successful. The most important right now is this process of creating alternatives. We have seven right now. We want to narrow that down.”

Matteoli said environmental studies are under way, which he hopes will be finished this year. An environmental assessment is planned next year, which will move the process forward.

“I assure you, no resource will be spared,” McGuire said. “$13 million has been received, and if we need more, we will get that.”

State of the County Supervisor Valerie Starkey shared what she called the state of the county address during the same meeting. Starkey said progress is being made, even during the pandemic.

“Currently, our vaccines are a huge focus is Del Norte County,” Starkey said.

“We’re fortunate to have a huge group of volunteers.”

She said more than 9,000

doses of the vaccine have been given by the county with more by pharmacies and doctors in the area.

“It is our hope to get the majority of our county vaccinated by June of this year,” she said.

She said the county will have less revenue to work with in 2021, but said the number could have been much worse. She said Measure R, which voters approved last year, will bring in revenue starting in May. That will provide funding for vital services such as roads, law enforcement and responding to natural disasters.

Overall, she said the county is ready for COVID to go away.

“We are moving forward with the 4th of July activities,” she said. “We expect a full day of events followed by fireworks.”

State of the City Mayor Pro Tem Blake Inscore gave an update on Crescent City, saying the focus is on a better tomorrow.

“In the midst of the pandemic, when the temptation is to focus on today, I’m so

proud of our city staff and partners for focusing on the future,” Inscore said. “The future is bright in Crescent City and Del Norte County.”

Inscore said the city is hopeful it can get funding through Prop. 68 to rebuild Beachfront Park. He said that would be a huge benefit to the city and county.

“I think everyone here knows if we can get Beachfront Park built with the amphitheater, it’s going to be an economic driver for years to come,” he said.

Inscore said recent successes like improving part of Front Street are important but are just the beginning.

“We’re not going to wait around,” he said. “We’re going to keep pushing.”

He said the city recently hired a consultant with grant money and will use the consultant to answer a few key questions – who are we, where do we want to go and how do we get there?

“When you get that, the sky’s the limit for Crescent City and Del Norte County,” Inscore said.

Casey photo exhibit opens at Manley Art Center Artist overcomes MS by taking photos

By KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate

Calvin Casey has been interested in photography ever since his dad gave him a Kodak Instamatic when he was in the 6th grade, but it wasn’t until his 40s that he discovered it was his passion.

The transformational moment came soon after Casey posted a photo he took on his phone of an antique wagon wheel in a grassy field. What followed was an outpouring of positive feedback from the community about his photo, and friends and family encouraged him to pursue photography full-time.

The support he received from wagon wheel photo, in conjunction with a multiple sclerosis diagnosis and an early retirement from law enforcement, meant Casey was all-in.

“Photography really helped me out and saved me in a lot of ways because it gave me more of a purpose,” said Casey.

At first, Casey was reluctant to change his new

camera from automatic to manual mode — which allows a photographer more user control — but when he did, new doors opened up, and he noticed a significant improvement in his work.

Casey said he doesn’t classify himself as one type of photographer because he likes to shoot everything from rusty, old farm equipment to people.

However, no matter what he is photographing, he tries to capture his subject in an unusual perspective — an interesting light or an unexpected angle.

Now, thousands of photos later, he still remembers those first few he took with the Kodak Instamatic his dad gave him.

“I remember getting down on my hands and knees and taking pictures of rocks and stuff like that, and right then I knew about taking different perspectives,” said Casey.
