Del Norte County mired in opioid crisis County has the highest per capita opioid death rate in the state

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

Jacqueline Roberts delivered a sobering prescription drug report at the September 26 Board of Supervisors meeting. The assistant

county counsel shared with the board on-going litigation with major pharmaceutical companies in seeking financial relief from the deadly affects of prescription opioids including fentanyl which Roberts attributed three-quarters

of the deaths. Her comments were riveting. The opioid addiction crisis is a national, state and major local emergency.

In Del Norte County, Roberts reported that the explosion of opioid addiction increased 264

percent from 2019 to 2021.

How did Del Norte County arrive at this mortifying status?

According to Roberts, in 2021, 17,361 prescriptions were written in Del Norte County, alone.

Groundswell against fish ban is growing

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

What started out as a group of four has quickly grown across Del Norte County. In an effort to end the Department of Fish and Wildlife ban on retention of the quillback fish, the untitled group is raising awareness of the impending economic disaster looming on the horizon.

Harry Adams, Steve Huber, Andrea Spahn and Chris Hegness met a few weeks back to discuss the August 21 directive banning quillback retention from Mendocino to the Oregon border.

Adams is both a Harbor commissioner and a commercial charter vessel owner, Huber is a commercial charter vessel owner licensed in California, Spahn is a recreational

boat owner who, with her husband, recently retired to Crescent City and Hegness is the general manager of Englund Marine in Crescent City. Here’s the chronology of what has happened:

• August 7 - CDFW sent out a bulletin closing all quillback rockfish retention in the Nearshore Groundfish Fishery from Mendocino to the Oregon border.

• August 21 - CDFW determined the quota of approximately 2,000 pounds of quillback had exceeded 130 percent, hence ordered a

complete closure directive immediately. The vote to shut down ocean fishing was 7-6, with two abstentions. The balance of the fishing season was now declared over.

• September 1 - CDFW extends the closure to the Central Management Area south of Mendocino.

The ban extends from the shoreline to a depth of 50 fathoms or 300 feet. Fish are unattainable below the 300 foot depth, according to the group.

The fishermen group questioned the model used to declare the ban. The group asks for a review of data via a hook and line protocol, claiming the hook and line data is far more accurate.

The closure of ocean fishing will be an economic disaster for Crescent City and up

Court will affirm Fashion decision

BY ROGER GITLIN

Del Norte Superior Court

Judge Robert Cochran stated he will confirm court approval of the Fashion Blacksmith arbitration award against the Crescent City Harbor District.

The legal maneuvering by Harbor counsel Best, Best and Krieger delayed the confirmation by one week when the Harbor sought injunctive relief related to additional damages Fashion is seeking. The Harbor has lapsed on the first of two arbitration deadlines: Major repairs including roofing and siding of the harbor-owned Fashion building by September 30, and the dredging of the inner Harbor adjacent to the Fashion pier by October 31 were mandated by the arbiter. Defense counsel asked if Fashion Blacksmith intended to remain a tenant in the Harbor.

According to the arbitration panel, the CCHD failure to dredge and remove years-old sand and other natural accumulations has prevented the functioning of the syncrolift,

County adopts record budget

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

Supervisors concluded the 14day public hearing and adopted the 2023/24 county budget. The balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year is $211,491,252 with a general fund budget of $40,522,171. To no one’s surprise and in the wake of record high inflation, both are new budget records.

The vote was 4-1. Chairman Darrin Short, Vice Chair Valerie Starkey and supervisors Joey Borges and Dean Wilson vote YES. Supervisor Chris Howard voted NO.

From the opening of the public hearing two weeks previous, the board increased the general fund budget just under $2.9 million.

The general (discretionary fund) carried over a balance of $7.1 million, caused mainly by the continuing labor market and hiring trends. The fund balance is much higher than anticipated due to high vacancy and turnover rates and reduced departmental spending.

Voter-approved Measure R passed in 2020 added a 1 percent local sales tax that created an overall 8.25 general sales tax. Measure R derived-funds supported budget increases in law enforcement, emergency and disaster response, public nuisance, blight and code enforcement, emergency response, animal services, planning and capital improvements.

The adopted budget is retroactive to July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year.

In a rare occurrence, supervisors declined to approve consent agenda number 11 which would have authorized the director of Health and Human Services, the Public Health Officer and director of Public Health Nursing to implement the Bridge Access program.

Supervisor Dean Wilson pulled the item from the single vote consent agenda for additional discussion. The Bridge Access program would allow providers to continue to offer COVID-19 vaccines to adults age 19 and above and who are medically uninsured.

Wilson questioned the COVID 19 injection protocol as a non-vaccine, experimental, noneffective and creating adverse effects on many individuals who previously had taken the medication. Wilson saw no purpose to offer the Bridge Access program and stated he was unable to vote in favor of the state-funded pro

16 deaths have occurred in Del Norte County for 2023, so far.

Roberts lamented, “Most shocking to me is the statistic that Del Norte children age 0 to 5 years top this list of all 58 counties, based on per capita population.”

Where did this opioid problem originate? Roberts points to manufacturers, distributors and retailers in creating this crisis.

Roberts requested direction from the board in establishing a local working group to determine how these funds will be allocated.

Roberts underscored the significant role Del Norte County will play, not the state, on how these funds will be distributed. The possible uses of the

settlement are varied and will be discussed at a later time.

Reaction from supervisors was subdued. After Roberts presentation, Supervisors Valerie Starkey and Dean Wilson shared their interest in developing a working group. By consensus, the board embraced the concept of the working group. Del Norte County has five years to decide how to utilize these settlement funds.

Don’t miss the rare and otherworldly sight of October’s annular eclipse

BY SARAH KELLY For Country Media, Inc.

On Saturday, Oct. 14. 2023 grab your protective eyewear and look to the sky where you will witness an extraordinary event, weather permitting. The rare celestial phenomenon, known as an annular solar eclipse, will brie y take place above Oregon, dimming the sky. The eclipse will travel on a path through the U.S., starting at our beautiful coast and ending in Texas, before it continues to pass other parts of the world.

Gulf Coast, crossing Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and parts of California, Idaho, Colorado and Arizona. After crossing North America, the eclipse will pass Mexico and Central America. It will then cross over into Colombia in South America and nish its land crossing in Northern Brazil. The annular solar eclipse will conclude at sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.

What is an annular eclipse?

term annular refers to something that is ring-shaped. During the annular eclipse, the smaller-looking moon will cross in front of the sun. When this occurs, a ring-shaped sliver of the sun will still be visible, known as a “Ring of Fire,” brightly peeking out from behind the silhouetted moon. This thin ring will only remain that way for around four minutes before it will lose its annular appearance.

from. So be sure to get out there early to watch it all happen and to ensure you don’t miss any part of this awe-inspiring natural event. Once the moon is in place it will only last a few minutes. The eclipse will take a path from the Oregon coast to the Texas

An annular solar eclipse is a unique occurrence, happening when the moon is so far away on its elliptical orbit around the Earth that it appears relatively small while passing in between the Earth and the sun. The moon’s orbit is not a perfect circle, therefore its distance from Earth varies. As it moves along its orbit the moon will appear slightly smaller and larger than normal. Oct. 14 will be a new moon, which means it will appear smaller and only capable of obscuring approximately 90 percent of the sun’s disk when viewed on its annular path. The

People viewing the eclipse from anywhere outside of the annular path will not see a complete ring, as the moon is not covering it the same amount. As you travel farther away from the annular path, the moon will obscure the sun less and less, granting those outside of the path only a partial solar eclipse.

Oregon is rst Oregon will be the rst of the states to see the annular solar eclipse, with the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area being lucky enough to be in the perfect location to see this amazing natural phenomenon as it crosses land. A large portion of the Oregon coastline will be capable of viewing this event at its maximum, as will some other parts of the state as it travels past.

There are approximately 6.6 million people in the U.S. who are living within the path of the annular solar eclipse. Out of those millions, about 1 million of them reside in Oregon. While this time of the year does tend to be a bit cloudy in the mornings, that shouldn’t stop you from going out to see the event. Should the clouds obscure the sky, you may still be

able to experience the eclipse through them.

Extra effects to watch for

The “Ring of Fire” is not the only thing to look out for. During the eclipse be sure to take a moment to look at the shadows cast on the ground, buildings and everywhere else that you can. You will notice something very unusual. The sun will be casting the moon’s shadow down onto Earth and as the moon travels across the sun you will see strange crescent-shaped shadows all around, instead of the normal shapes you are used to. The strange shadows will dance across the ground as the moon moves quickly overhead, making this equally as fascinating to watch as the eclipse itself.

Philip Daly, who has worked for more than 35 years in the

professional astronomy eld building instruments on major telescopes and is currently part of a research team at the University of Arizona, stated that the speed at which the moon’s shadow moves “is variable as the eclipse progresses.”

Daly cites the Great American Eclipse website, saying that “When annularity covers most of Oregon at 9:20:06, it will be traveling at 4862 mph.”

For those at the edge of the eclipse’s annular path, like Siletz Bay in Lincoln City or near Floras Lake in Curry County, while watching the eclipse, try to spot something called Baily’s beads. If you see what looks like a “broken ring,” you’ve found it. Light, streaming through from the sun, passes between the gaps of mountains, valleys and uneven surfaces on the moon, causing what looks like a broken

ring. Those on the northern and southern limits of the annular path, called the “grazing zone,” will be able to catch a glimpse of these “edge effects.”

Proper eye protection

If you do go out to watch the eclipse, you must have proper eyewear. Sunglasses, while appearing to help decrease the sun’s brightness, will not protect your eyes when looking directly at it. Looking directly at the sun without the correct protective wear could result in permanent eye damage and should never be done under any circumstances. There is, surprisingly, a variety of protective wear available for viewing an eclipse. While glasses may be the most known, there are also handheld solar viewers. You can purchase a special solar lter for your camera lens, binoculars and telescopes. The lter secures over the optic lens on the front, allowing you to safely look through it to view the eclipse. Never look at the sun through your binoculars, telescope or camera lens while wearing eclipse glasses as they send concentrated solar rays to your eyes, causing severe eye damage. Eclipse glasses are not needed when viewing through your lens as long as you have a proper solar lter attached.

It is imperative that you ensure whatever you’ve picked to view the eclipse through, is safe and complies with the ISO 12312-2 international standard. Some places may print that label on their products wrongfully. Safe viewers are specially designed to be thousands of times darker than standard sunglasses and to block most of the solar UV and IR radiation. Not all products may properly comply. The best way to make sure what you have is sun-safe is to check that the supplier has made it onto the American Astronomical Society’s safe lters and viewers list.

Additional means of viewing

If you are unable to get proper eye protection, you can still view the eclipse using an indirect method. You can create a pinhole projector. Punch a small hole into something sturdy like a piece of cardboard and, with your back to the sun, you can now safely look at the projected image on a nearby surface. Never look at the sun through the pinhole.

For those who may not be able to get out and experience the eclipse rst-hand, NASA will be hosting a virtual viewing from their YouTube channel, where they will be showing the eclipse from locations all over the country.

Louis (Lou) Goodgame

Louis (Lou) Goodgame passed away on September 13, 2023, at the age of 96 in Brookings, Oregon.

Preceded in death by his wife Eva, parents Helen and Harold (Pete) Hooper, sister Susan Davis and brother Charles Hooper. Lou is survived by his five children: David (Shirlee) Goodgame of Kaunakakai, Hawaii; John Goodgame of Fort Dick, CA; Rachel Goodgame of Yucaipa, CA; Ellie (Don) Kurtz of Coeur d’Alene, ID; Mary (Don) Kirk of Brookings, OR: brother James (Sandi) Hooper of Gasquet, CA and 9 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren.

Lou’s parents divorced when he was young. His mother later met and married Pete Hooper who was a father to young Lou. As part of “The Greatest Generation” he grew up in the Great Depression and learned to work hard and solve problems.

Lou was attending Commerce High School in San Franisco where he was a member of the football team and the ROTC program when he volunteered for the US Army at the age of 17 in 1944. On a track to become an army officer

he attended Stanford University and planned to continue his studies there and play football. When Lou went into active service in WWII at age 18 his plans were soon to change!

Before he was shipped out from Camp Roberts for active military service, he visited his mother and father in Redding California. It was very hot, and his mother lovingly set a pitcher of ice-cold lemonade with a tall glass next to Lou. Then she set a book “The Great Controversary” next to the lemonade. Lou, an avid reader and lover of history, curiously started reading the book and read it from cover to cover. His mother asked him what he thought about the book.

Thoroughly absorbed in the book and processing what he had read he replied to his mother that he would like to study more but was soon to ship out. His mother prayed and made him promise to attend the nearest Seventhday Adventist Church once he arrived at the US Army base in British Guiana.

Lou was reluctant to attend church, but because he had promised his mother, he put on his uniform and went looking. Inadvertently he found the local Seventh-day Adventist Church and entered near the close of the service. Realizing that the service was almost over he looked for a quick exit. Pastor Sutton the conference president managed to intercept Lou and asked him over for

lunch. Lou studied with Pastor Sutton and was soon baptized a Seventhday Adventist Christian.

When the current (soldier) evangelist was abruptly shipped out Lou reluctant and indignant was pressed into being the evangelist to continue the soldier led evangelistic meetings for the local people. During this experience Lou found a new passion for telling people about Jesus and he was blessed by God with a natural gift for public speaking. He and a fellow Christian soldier buddy raised up a church in the area that much later he learned was named the Lou-Dale Seventh-day Adventist Church after him and his buddy.

By the time Sergeant Lou shipped-out from the army base his plans had changed to becoming a pastor and he headed to Pacific Union College for theology training where

Lou earned a theology degree from Pacific Union College and a Masters of Divinity from Andrews University. He also attended Maryland University. He was a lifelong student of the Bible.

Lou pastored on the East Coast having a twochurch district (Quincy and Reisterstown in Maryland). As a pastor he was an evangelist, earnestly sharing Jesus. He saw a need; money was raised and a new Reisterstown Church built. Later Lou and Eva decided to move to the West Coast to be nearer their parents. Lou took a temporary position as a teacher. Teaching became a cherished occupation.

nondenominational church services and other activities. One of the campers who was involved with prison ministries spoke to Lou about ministry in the new prison, Pelican Bay State Prison, being built in Lou’s hometown. Lou was not interested. But the camper persisted, and Lou reluctantly promised to call the PBSP chaplain. Lou did not want to call. But he had promised so he called and left a brief message. Chaplain Bliesner promptly returned Lou’s call and put Lou to work as a volunteer chaplain on weekends.

A long time Del Norte resident. Lou was known to many as Mr. Goodgame, a teacher for 40 plus years and a beloved teacher at Redwood Elementary for most of those years. Along with teaching various subjects he had a passion for sports and coached the Redwood Raiders football team for 37 years. Lou worked hard alongside fellow teachers, staff, parents and students to build a much-needed gym at Redwood Elementary School. He was very humbled when the gym was named the Goodgame Gymnasium. In later years it thrilled him to hear the words “Mr. Goodgame!” and connect with his past students.

A volunteer with the Oregon Parks at Wallowa Lake for 40 years, Lou enjoyed many summers with campers, teaching junior rangers, telling stories, organizing hikes, creating “Wallyball”, a unique version of volleyball for campers, preaching

After Lou’s retirement from teaching, he went into full-time volunteering as a chaplain. He worked scheduling volunteers to visit and have programs in the chapel for the inmates. He told many stories and taught the inmates about Jesus from the Bible with Bible study classes and sermons. Later he added homiletics (how to prepare a sermon) classes teaching inmates how to preach effectively. His work as a volunteer prison chaplain was his last and most rewarding occupation spanning 30 years. His joy was to see the power of Jesus change the lives of bad boys into God’s men.

The family of Louis Goodgame would like to say a special thank you to Monarch Gardens, Curry Village, Chetco Medical Center and Sutter Coast Hospital, and Curry Medical ER for providing Lou with compassionate care during the last months of his life.

Thank you, Captain Crawford, and the Fort Dick Fire Dept Board. Lou enjoyed serving on the FDFD Board with all of you.

Thank you, Chaplain Foster and Rachel Goodgame who made Lou’s last visit to PBSP possible, and the volunteers and inmates who were there to make it special.

A celebration of Louis Goodgame’s Life will be held on October 15, 2023, at 3 pm in the Crescent City Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Mary Virginia Bradshaw

8/18/1921 - 6/4/2023

This chronicles the passing of Mary Virginia Bradshaw on June 4th, 2023. Mary Virginia Bradshaw was born on August 18th,1921 to Edward and Gladys Pettis in Talmage, California. She was the eldest of 3 children (Alice and Edward Jr). As a child, her family relocated frequently because of her father’s work (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, and Texas). She attended college in Illinois. At the age of 21 she married her high school sweetheart Eulis Peter Bradshaw. Shortly after their marriage Eulis went to war in Europe.

Huffman statement on vote to avert government shutdown

Last week, U.S. Representative Jared Huffman (CA-02) released the following statement:

“At the 11th hour – after weeks of chaotic attempts to use the threat of a government shutdown to leverage their extreme MAGA agenda – I was glad to see House Republicans fold and agree to do what Democrats have been ready to do all along: pass a “clean” short-term funding measure to keep the government running, and to include critical supplemental disaster relief. I voted ‘yes’ because this CR responsibly funds the government, contains no policy concessions to MAGA extremists, and because I have every expectation that the overwhelming bipartisan majority in the House and Senate that supports supplemental funding for Ukraine will find a way to achieve that within the next 45 days.

“While we have averted a MAGA government shutdown for now, this is not a “mission-accomplished” moment. Speaker McCarthy was forced to work with Democrats, who remained unified throughout this spectacle of GOP dysfunction, and who ended up providing most of the votes to pass this stop-gap measure. Given the extreme MAGA faction that dominates the Republican Majority, this will probably cost McCarthy his speakership.

“Whether this teetering GOP ship is piloted by McCarthy, or someone else, I have no doubt Team Extreme will remain hell-bent on making draconian cuts that would devastate working families, repealing the Inflation Reduction Act and other clean energy investments Democrats passed in the last Congress, and passing radical culture war legislation. They will surely threaten another government shutdown 45 days from now to leverage that extreme agenda. Today’s vote was a welcome reprieve from GOP dysfunction, but it would be naïve to think House Republicans have suddenly become capable of governing.

“Whether we are working with our Republican colleagues or against them in the coming weeks, you will see Democrats continue to stand strong in our commitment to passing a budget that lives up to our promise to put people over politics and provides for the health, safety, and economic well-being of our constituents.”

Open meetings yield better results

Last week I described the Harbor District’s casual approach to maintaining the public record of their decisions. This may have been corrected by now, but at that time there were eight meetings that did not have adopted minutes. This makes it difficult to track what they have done.

I also commented on the overuse of “special” meetings. These are meetings which can be scheduled with 24-hour notice. The problem with special meetings is that 24-hour notice does not provide adequate time for the public to prepare and attend the meetings.

Special Treatment?

The Harbor District has two regular meetings each month. In July and August, the Harbor District also scheduled five additional special meetings. Three special meetings were about one subject, approval of an agreement with Fisherman’s Catch to lease a building for crab processing on the north edge of the Harbor.

This lease was scheduled for approval at five meetings between July 18 and August 3. This included two regular meetings and three special meetings. Some of these meetings were only 2 and 3 days apart. What was the rush in getting this contract approved that couldn’t wait for the next regular meeting?

When I discovered Harbor Commissioner Rick Shephard was an owner of Fisherman’s Catch, I wondered whether other businesses would get this prompt action. Due to his conflict of interest, Commissioner Shephard properly recused himself, did not vote and was not present in any meeting when the lease was discussed.

On The Fast Track

This lease was first introduced on July 18 at a regular meeting of the Harbor Commissioners. The draft lease was attached to the agenda, and I could see

that there were significant issues to be addressed. Commissioners Stone and Adams were absent, so discussion was continued to the next meeting.

Three days later, this lease was scheduled again for approval at a special meeting on July 21. At this meeting commissioners discussed the details of the contract and one Commissioner expressed concern about the project location and the possible impact of odors on nearby motels.

Scheduling special meetings with 24-hour notice made it difficult for commissioners and the public to stay informed regarding changes to the lease. There were two meetings when deliberations needed to be continued to another meeting because the lease was not provided for review before the meeting.

Conflicting Land Use It was suggested by Commissioner Stone that the Harbor could locate a high-end hotel on that side of the harbor, which would make more money for the Harbor than a fish processor. Placing a seafood processor next to this prime beachfront location would diminish the possibility that any developer would invest there.

There is a business concept called opportunity cost. The idea is that a decision to use a limited resource will preclude other uses and may result in lost future opportunities. The rent from this lease is only $2000 per month. Is this the best use of this property? Would another location in the harbor be better?

Some Harbor Commissioners seem to have the attitude that developing any tourist serving businesses will conflict with the fishing industry. I have heard fishermen say, “Fishermen pay for this harbor,” as if to justify favoring their interests over all others.

Harbor Revenue Revenue from the fishing industry does not come

close to paying for the expense of operating and maintaining the Harbor. Other revenue is needed to pay for the daunting cost of repair, replacement, and maintenance of the fishing infrastructure. If this burden was placed solely on fishermen, they could not afford it.

Fishermen must pay their fair share of these costs for the harbor to remain in business. When the Harbor Commissioners consider the charges for lease payments or slip rentals, too often they prioritize keeping the cost low for the fishermen.

The primary responsibility of the Harbor Commissioners is to safeguard the interests of the Harbor District. When they set the rates, they should consider that the Harbor has tremendous debt and ongoing expenses that must be paid. If the Harbor District fails, the fishermen will not have a harbor to operate in.

Serious Deficiencies

The original draft of this lease had serious deficiencies that were pointed out by members of the public and at least one Commissioner. The first issue was the length of the lease. It was proposed to be seven years with an option for the tenant to renew for another five years. This would lock up this property for 12 years.

The second question was whether this property could possibly be permitted for the use being proposed. The concern was that by approving the lease, the Harbor appeared to warrantee that this business can be permitted.

This could expose the Harbor District to litigation if permits cannot be secured.

The third problem with the lease was the term for profit sharing. As originally proposed, the Harbor District would only receive poundage fees if the business processed more than 2 million pounds. There were no poundage fees collected for the first 2 million pounds. This seemed

Kevin Hendrick

wrong. The Harbor needs this money!

Improved Lease

Despite the challenge of navigating the sequence of special meetings, public input helped structure a final lease that was much more beneficial and protective of the Harbor District’s interests. This lease was approved at a special meeting on August 3rd. The lease term was shortened to five years with the option to extend another five years at the sole discretion of the Harbor District. The final lease clarified that it is the responsibility of the tenant to secure all necessary permits and that the Harbor District is not guaranteeing that these permits can be secured. Finally, the lease was changed so that the lessee must pay poundage fees for every pound processed starting at pound one.

We Can Do Better

In the future I implore the Harbor District to exercise better judgement when deciding whether to schedule a special meeting with only 24-hour notice. This is inadequate to enable members of the public to participate. In the interest of developing good policy, local government agencies must be open and transparent to allow constituents to engage in the process. Open meetings yield better results.

Goats can be a forest’s best friend

‘I’d love to live in the woods,’ they’re probably making a big mistake.”

to sunlight and nourishes the soil.”

Unlike a horse or cow that leaves noxious weeds behind, goats eat the whole menu of pesky weeds, bushes and small trees. That means goats can be one of the answers to the growing problem of tinder-dry, highly flammable forests.

In Durango, Colorado, former firefighter Jonathan Bartley runs a business called DuranGoats, along with partner Adrian Lacasse, and it’s so popular they’re booked daily. Their herd usually works along the wildland-urban interface of the San Juan National Forest, clearing undergrowth around private houses in heavily wooded, steep areas at the town’s periphery.

Thanks to his work, Bartley has has come to a conclusion about newcomers to the West: “When people move here thinking

If they do choose to live surrounded by trees or next to a forest, though, he has advice.

Because utilities cut off electricity during fires, he suggests buying a generator to keep sprinklers for irrigation running. He also advises homeowners to install a metal roof to repel wind-driven sparks. Always, he adds, have a go-bag ready with your most important stuff if flight becomes necessary. Most of all, he wants homeowners to create flame breaks around their house with gravel while also cutting back trees and shrubs within 30 feet of the house.

That last bit of advice is key. Firefighters triage neighborhoods, he said, picking winners and losers. When they scan neighborhoods quickly, they tend to give defensible homes extra resources while

Bartley knows fire well. He worked for a private company called Oregon Woods as part of a hand crew of 20 based in Eugene, Oregon. There, the Holiday Farm Fire started within a half-mile of his house.

From that experience, he learned that our approach to wildfire is backward: “We react, rather than manage landscapes ahead of time. Spending a few million dollars on fire mitigation would have saved hundreds of millions of dollars.”

These days, he said, “I’m still fighting fires — just with goats.” Bartley is quick to point out that fire itself is beneficial to forests. Even CalFire, the firefighting arm of the state of California, says on its website, “Fire removes low-growing underbrush, cleans the forest floor of debris, opens it up

The problem across the West, Bartley said, is so many unmanaged dense forests full of deadfall and brush — “ladder fuels” — that allow fire to climb into tree canopies. “By the time wildfire gets into the treetops to become crown fires,” Bartley said, “firefighters have evacuated and are miles away.”

Everyone knows that western wildfires are becoming worse. Half of the 10 biggest fires in the United States this century all burned in this region. When wildfires grow massive and super-hot, they destroy forest ecosystems, leaving nearly sterilized bare ground that’s perfect for flammable cheatgrass to invade.

That sets up burned areas to burn again, often quickly.

Bartley has big ambitions for his goat herd, which can clear a quarter-acre in a day. Duran-

Goats charges $400 daily, he said, much less than the cost of a crew of landscapers armed with weed whackers and loppers on hilly, broken terrain. Moreover, the goats’ sharp hooves churn the dirt and fertilize it with poop and pee, setting up a regenerative cycle that improves the soil.

In northwestern Montana, former journalist David Reese has a similar business called Montana Goat.

His herd moves daily, and once the animals strip leaves off small trees and gobble up the cheatgrass and knapweed, he said, it’s quick work to chainsaw small trees and dead branches.

Like Bartley, Reese has found he has almost more business than he can handle. He plans to scale his herd to 400 goats, while Bartley aims to build up to 100 goats. Both are angling for bigger contracts from homeowners and also

government agencies. Finding four-legged workers is easy. “A male dairy goat has a life expectancy of a week,” said Bartley. “They’re not plump like meat goats, have no dairy value and often are dispatched at birth.”

Extra income for DuranGoats comes from outdoor weddings. Festooned with wildflowers and bells, goats roam the grounds and are a favorite with all the guests, even pitching in as ring-bearers, or in a pinch, groomsmen.

But like any single man at a wedding, they have a wandering eye, which means that flower arrangements can be gobbled up quickly.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Thomas Lee Gahart; Thomas L. Gahart; Tom Gahart

A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Davin L Gahart and Dustin T Gahart, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that: Davin L Gahart and Dustin T Gahart be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:

Date: November 3, 2023

Time: 10:00 am Dept.: 2

Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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:

SUPERIOR COURT FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF DEL NORTE TOLOWA DEE-NI’ NATION, A FEDERALLY ORGANIZED TRIBE Plaintiffs, vs. JOHN ENOS, an individual, and DOES 1-5 Defendant Case No.: CVPT2023-1239 PETITION FOR JUDICIAL DECLARATION OF ABANDONMENT [CAL. CIVIL CODE 798.61] LIMITED CIVIL CASE (AMOUNT UP TO $10,000)

Plaintiff alleges: I. THE PARTIES

1. Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation (“TDN” or “plaintiff”), a federally recognized tribe, is the owner of Xaa-wan’k’wvt Village and Resort (“XVR”), a mobile home and recreational vehicle park operating under the laws of the State of California, and permitted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), located at 12400 Highway 101 North, Smith River, California, 95567.

2. Defendant John Enos is the registered owner of a mobile home, decal number AAU5340, located at XVR (“the mobile home”). The situs address of the mobile hone is 12400 Highway 101 North, Space 964, Smith River, California 95567. The address of record for defendant John Enos is the same as the situs address of the mobile home.

II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE

3. Venue is proper in this County because both plaintiff and defendant either reside or do business in Del Norte County, and the mobile home that is the subject of this petition is located in Del Norte County.

III.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

4. Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation purchased and took over management of XVR on or about December 1, 2016. When the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation took ownership, not all of the park records were transferred to the plaintiff from the previous owner, and more records dating back to 2001 or older were destroyed.

5. The mobile home was located in XVR, in the same space that it occupies now, Space 964, when plaintiff took over management on or about December 1, 2016.

6. On or about January 1, 2021, XVR staff became aware that the rent of the mobile home space had not been paid in two months, and the mobile home appeared to be unoccupied. John Enos’ daughter, Samantha, had paid the rent on the mobile home through November 2020. Plaintiff has had no contact with Samantha since that time and has no current address for her.

7. On 8/16/2023, plaintiff conducted a title search through HCD, which revealed the names and address of the defendant. A true and correct copy of that title search is attached to this petition as Exhibit A.

8. The title search revealed that defendant was residing in the mobile home since approximately February 5, 2001. The title search also lists the situs address as 12400 Highway 101 North, Space 956, but plaintiff states that this is outdated information, as defendant resided in Space 964 when plaintiff took over park ownership.

9. On October 20, 2022 plaintiff caused to be posted a Notice of Belief of Abandonment (“Notice”) on the mobile home. A true and correct copy of that Notice is attached to this petition as Exhibit B.

10. On October 20, 2022 plaintiff’s park manager, Julie McHenry, caused a copy of the Notice of Belief of Abandonment to be mailed to defendant’s address as listed on the title search. A true and correct copy of the proof of posting and the proof of mailing is attached to this petition as Exhibit C.

11. On or about October 25, 2022, park manager,

Karen was a native of Sunnymead, California. When she was young, her home was on a selfsustaining farm that helped to feed not only her family, but friends as well. They raised goats and chickens and had a huge garden. From that home, her parents moved to the house on Deerwood which Karen later purchased and raised her own family.

Karen was a long-time member of Sunnymead Baptist Church and served

as the church secretary and pianist.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes federal protections for species of western pond turtle

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced a proposal to list both species of western pond turtle, the northwestern pond turtle and the southwestern pond turtle, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The Service is also proposing a 4(d) rule, that would support conservation of both species.

the southwestern pond turtle and northwestern pond turtle are likely to sustain populations in the wild in the near term, both species have increasing risk of extinction due to population losses, decreased genetic diversity, and a reduced ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions in the next half century.

and to many different areas in the United States. She had so many stories about these trips and just talking about them always made her laugh hysterically.

Karen was also a trained cook and loved cooking for just about anyone. She especially enjoyed the summers and holidays when all the children and grandchildren were together and could enjoy at least a week of home cooking including Danish Pancakes, of course. She will be incredibly missed by all.

Services will be held October 14, 2023, 12:00 pm at Fort Dick Bible Church, 6725 Lake Earl Drive, Crescent City.

The northwestern pond turtle occurs in Washington, Oregon, Nevada and throughout much of northern and central California. The southwestern pond turtle occurs in southern California from Monterey County south to Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties into northern Baja California, Mexico. The turtles use rivers, lakes, ponds, streams other water sources and terrestrial habitats throughout their lives.

Ongoing threats to both species include worsening drought conditions, habitat loss and fragmentation, and predation by invasive species such as non-native bullfrogs.

“Food, water and shelter for northwestern pond turtles and southwestern pond turtles are becoming scarce across the western United States,” said Paul Souza, director of the Service’s Pacific Southwest Region. “We are working alongside federal and state agencies and private landowners to implement conservation actions for northwestern and southwestern pond turtles, and we need everyone’s support to help them thrive in the wild.”

The Service reviewed the best available science to evaluate the status of both species by preparing a Species Status Assessment, including information provided by species experts. The assessment found that although

The Service is also proposing a 4(d) rule that allows activities that support conservation of both species, including wildfire suppression and management, maintenance of existing livestock ponds, habitat restoration, and non-native species removal. The 4(d) rule would allow land managers and others to carry out these activities without the risk of violating the Endangered Species Act on their properties because they are expected to have beneficial or negligible impacts to pond turtles and their habitat.

Ongoing conservation efforts continue to support populations of southwestern pond turtle and northwestern pond turtle in the wild. These include development of a range-wide management strategy by federal, state, and private partners to guide efforts to enhance, protect and restore pond turtle habitat; collaboration with military installations to formalize management recommendations on thousands of acres of military land; and development of habitat conservation plans that provide landowners opportunities to assist in conserving the species and their habitats. For example, the state of Washington implemented habitat management and predator control measures while raising northwestern pond turtles in captivity for release into the wild to help populations.

Fall prescribed fire activities in the Bald Hills

Redwood National and State Parks plans to conduct a series of prescribed burns this fall in the prairies and oak woodlands of the Bald Hills east of Orick, California. The prescribed fire season in the parks begins in early October as weather conditions permit.

This year, fire will be used as a management tool in eight specific burn units in the Bald Hills: Eastside, Upper Dolason, Lower Dolason, Child’s Hill, Lower Elk Camp, Pigpen, Tick Prairie, and South Boundary. The eight units combined are approximately 1,422 acres.

For thousands of years, Yurok, Tolowa, Chilula, and Hupa people managed prairies, oak woodlands, and some coastal areas that are now within the parks

with periodic fire to keep them cleared. Intentional burning provided grazing and hunting areas for elk and deer, maintained important resources like tanoak trees and various basket weaving materials, kept trail and travel corridors open, and lessened the prevalence of parasites like ticks in the prairies.

Early European Americans who later ranched these same lands continued the practice of broadcast burning until it was outlawed by the state in the 1930s. Since then, many of the prairies and oak woodlands have become encroached with Douglas fir and other conifers which can eventually eliminate these important plant communities.

The park’s 2021 Fire Management Plan provides for the use of fire to

Newsom Signs Tax on Gun Manufacturers

restore natural and cultural processes, manage exotic plants and conifers encroaching into prairie and oak woodland plant communities, and to educate the public about the role of fire in the parks. The parks have successfully used prescribed fires to achieve these objectives since the early 1980s.

If you are in the parks over the next couple of months, there will likely be additional activity and equipment on and near Bald Hills Road. Smoke may linger on the roadways and traffic control may be in place. Please be cautious for your safety as well as the safety of the fire crews working on the prescribed burns.

For further information, please contact Bryan Boatman at (707) 496-0258.

Reduced forest closure order to go into e ect

The Six Rivers National Forest is implementing a new, reduced forest closure order for the Orleans Ranger District. The decision to reevaluate the closure order was made in close coordination with the incident management team for the SRF Lightning Complex and the Six Rivers National Forest.

The forest closure orders for the Smith River South and South Fork Complexes remains in effect.

The purpose of the forest closure order is to provide for firefighter and public safety during the continual wildfire response and suppression repair operations within the complexes. While fire activity has

decreased recently due to increased rain and humidity, operational activities are ongoing. In addition to the operational activities in the area there is also increased hazards. The forest closure order temporarily restricts access to any national forest system road, trail, or land within the closure area.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law the Gun Violence Prevention and School Safety Act, a landmark measure that would tax the gun industry to create a permanent funding source for school safety and gun violence prevention programs in California. Authored by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, Assembly Bill (AB) 28 will impose an 11 percent excise tax on the sale of guns and ammunition by gun manufacturers and dealers and is expected to generate $160 million annually to fund school safety and violence prevention programs, including initiatives to prevent mass shootings, bolster firearm investigations, and remove

and down the California coast, starting in May 2024, according to the fishing group.

The group gathered and met at Englund Marine and pooled their personal money and necessary funds to send Adams to Seattle for the recent Pacific Fisheries Management Council meeting. PFMC makes recommendations to the Department of Fish and Wildlife on California fishing regulations. Adams was allotted six minutes at the public dais. PFMC asked lots of questions. Adams spoke for 12 minutes and reportedly the PFMC was impressed.

Here’s what’s happening now:

The group of Four organized last Thursday’s Lake Earl Grange meeting to discuss and implement the strategy to persuade the Pacific Fisheries Management Council to change its rules on the quillback, effective May 2024. There were 40 members of the public in attendance.

The group said letters of support are needed to persuade Pacific Fisheries to amend its recommendations to DFWD.

Harbor counsel argued unsuccessfully for injunctive relief, attempting to persuade Cochran to reconsider signing the ar-

guns from domestic abusers. “AB 28 is based on a straightforward premise –that we should prioritize the safety of our kids over gun industry profits,” said Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, the author of AB 28 and Chair of the Legislature’s Gun Violence Working Group. “It’s shameful that gun manufacturers are reaping record profits at the same time that gun violence has become the leading cause of death for kids in the United States. AB 28 will generate $160 million annually to fund critical violence prevention and school safety programs that will save lives and protect communities across the State of

California. I am deeply grateful to Governor Newsom for signing AB 28 and for his outstanding national leadership in addressing gun violence.”

AB 28 is a top national priority for the gun safety movement and was strongly supported by all of the major gun safety organizations, including Giffords, Moms Demand Action, Everytown, Brady, and March for Our Lives.

“Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom, Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, and thousands of community leaders across California for putting the safety of the people above the gun industry’s profits,” said Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.

Judge Cochran made clear the court will rule only on whether the award will be paid in full or allow the CCHD to pay the judgment over a ten year installment plan.

At the most recent CCHD meeting, and upon exiting closed session, the CCHD failed to disclose to the public its decision to decline both deadline items: repairs to the building and dredging.

The Harbor sent a letter to Fashion owner, Ted Long, saying it will not be able to dredge the inner Harbor by the October 31 deadline and posed the question about Fashion’s continued tenancy.
