During that period as a board member I have been a part of a board that has accomplished many things on many fronts. We have invested in projects in our infrastructure; Technologies, renovation to many of our schools, creating transparency, seeking grants where possible, and representing students, parents and taxpayers to the best of my ability.

I am running for re-election, because, in today’s environment there are many exceedingly difficult decisions that will come before the board. And I feel that I have an obligation to follow through and build on the accomplishments that as a board we have forged.

Incumbent Frank Magarino, current President of the Del Norte Unified School District Board of Trustees, is facing off against challenger Sheryl Steinruck to represent Area 3.

Billy Hartwick has informed the county elections office he’s withdrawn his candidacy due to his intention to move away from the area.

Because Charlaine Mazzei is running unopposed in Area 4, we only asked Magarino and Steinruck the same four questions to help voters decide how to cast their ballot in the Nov. 3 election.

First, introduce yourself to the voters.

thrown a jarring wrench on our community and the entire world, to the likes that it is historically unprecedent, with no blueprint to follow. Therefore, we will need to be cautious and prudent with making our decisions.

2) Funding has always been, and I believe will continue to be a big issue for our district, especially in consideration of the COVID-19 shutdown and with an expectation of an enormous tax revenue shortfall. So, as a result, the best we can do is be frugal, seek grants that are out there and come together as a community with community volunteers to mitigate those short comings.

3) Our facilities. It has been made clear by our facilities director that our schools are in serious need of continued upgrades and renovations.

A rally Oct. 8 opposing the county’s purchase of Coastal Inn & Suites to convert into transitional homeless housing failed to dissuade Del Norte County Supervisors from approving the purchase Oct. 13.

Purchase for homeless housing approved

By David Hayes The Triplicate

RK Gray was able to put a face to the homeless issue for the Del Norte County’s Board of Supervisor’s in their decision to purchase a downtown hotel with state grant money.

“I’m not a criminal,” Gray told the Supervisors at their Oct. 13 meeting. “I’m just an upstanding member of society trying to do what’s right. I urge you guys to look upon us with kindness. We don’t like to be stigmatized for things we have not done.”

Gray was among many county residents who spoke about the benefits accorded them through the state funded Project RoomKey emergency interim housing program at Coastal Inn & Suites. He said the program has kept him from being homeless through the COVID-19 pandemic and his wife, who faces a bilateral mastectomy, will be able to get the help she needs to get rid of her cancer completely.

After hearing arguments from both support and opposition to

the acquisition, the Supervisors voted 4-1 to approve the purchase of Coastal Inn & Suites, located at 665 L St. in Crescent City using $1.9 million of the state’s Project Homekey grant.

District 1 Supervisor Roger Gitlin was the lone holdout, voting no on a series of issues surrounding the property.

Gitlin also voted no to amend an existing agreement with Coastal Inn & Suites to continue Project RoomKey for an amount not to exceed $600,000. He also opposed a 5-year $200,000 consultation and management agreement with Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation to oversee the Project HomeKey program at the motel.

Gitlin argued he was not against the homeless program.

Rather, he was concerned about the hotel’s location in downtown Crescent City and, as a resident of the city himself, the loss of tax dollars it would suffer when transferred over to county ownership. He said Crescent City will lose $34,000 in transient occupancy taxes (TOT) and about

$8,500 in property taxes.

“I don’t disagree with the use of motel services to temporarily house people,” Gitlin said. “I don’t think it should be in the spine of our community. I think there are better places suited, we just have to look a little harder.”

Del Norte County Health and Human Services Director Heather Snow said her department currently houses 43 adults and 7 children through Project RoomKey at Coastal Inn & Suites.

She explained this represents 27 percent of Del Norte County’s homeless population, according to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) data. Snow added HUD’s homeless population without shelter count rose from 187 in 2019 to 224 in 2020.

Snow said DHHS has used Project RoomKey money to offer temporary shelter for the homeless at the hotel since 2016.

Then the pandemic struck and complicated matters.

“For a few years that keeps going and then COVID comes and we were urged by the state to protect vulnerable homeless people,” Snow said. “The homeless were considered high risk for exposure to COVID and we were encouraged to find motels and house anybody who was experiencing homelessness.”

We need to get the state, the rest of the country and the World past the notion that We don’t exist - that We Went aWay, that somehoW We have become invisible. i count, you count, every one of us counts.

Protection district assessment increase fails

Voters have rejected the Crescent Fire Protection District’s (CFPD) Proposition 218 benefit assessment to renew and increase funding for fire and emergency response services, according to a CFPD press release Oct. 14.

The release states that according to the Del Norte County Registrar, at the close of the 45day voting period, with all votes tabulated, final ballot tabulation showed 45% voted yes and 55% voted no. In addition, only 24% of total ballots were returned from property owners.

Because this was a ballot process for property owners, the assessment needed a 50% plus 1 vote of total ballots cast to pass successfully.

The CFPD has been providing fire and emergency services to the unincorporated areas surrounding Crescent City since 1949, and in partnership with

She said Coastal Inn & Suites was the only local hotel DHHS reached out to that agreed to house those experiencing homelessness. She started the program small with a limited number of rooms then as it grew, DHHS sought additional funding to take it to full capacity.

“We brought two amendments to the county administrative officer to increase the number of rooms, which is why we needed to increase the amount with your approval today,” Snow said.

Then Project HomeKey funds became available through the state in July. Snow explained those dollars came with stipulations — the program created had to house at least 5% of the county’s homeless, the money had to be spent by Dec. 31 and the facility had to be occupied within 90 days.

The county’s decision to move forward with the program created backlash within the City of Crescent City. The City Council took issue at its Sept. 8 meeting with an apparent lack of communication between them and the county.

Mayor Blake Inscore read a letter to the Supervisors during the public comment period expressing the city’s disappointment before they entered closed session Sept. 22 to discuss the property acquisition.

Inscore said at the Supervisors’s meeting Oct. 13 he’s supportive of what the county’s trying to accomplish, adding that he had been involved with State

Organizers for Sea Cruise fought an uphill battle to pull off the 29th annual event. First they overcame a year of the coronavirus pandemic shutting down most other social events.

Then the rain Saturday, Oct. 10 threatened to chase away all but the most die hard fans.

Longtime participant Ken Miller, a 30-year member of the Curry County Cruisers with his 1963 Tbird — a driver, not a trailer queen, he’s quick to point out — perhaps best summed up this year’s car show going on as planned.

“It was a miracle,” Miller said.

“I am so proud of them — the Chamber, the city, everyone — for doing it.”

Jason Bartholomew, president of event-cosponsor Northern Knights Car Club, said he had 167 car owners register for the even. He guessed a majority showed, but couldn’t say for sure how many braved the rain and muddy conditions at Beach Front Park.

“All in all, in a year of the Rs — rainy ‘rona’ — all things considered, it was a great year,” Bartholomew said. “Not knowing if we’d have it, knowing how the sponsors feel, everybody

A record number of College of the Redwoods athletes have been named State All Academic Honorees for the 2019-20 academic year.

Freshman volleyball athlete Paula Mello, a Del Norte High School graduate, was the only local athlete to make the list with a 3.861 grade point average and 29 units completed.

Of the 25 students on the list, two accomplished this while participating in two sports — Grace Rosebrook (soccer and softball) and Juliana Ortega-Miranda (soccer and basketball).

The previous high from CR was 17, which was accomplished in 2018-19.

Prior to that, it was 16 in 2010-11.

“This a great accomplishment and testament to the commitment of our student athletes, not only to dedicate a tremendous amount of time and effort to compete in their sport, but also towards their educational goals and to achieve these high

Middle School and the other from Smith River School — did not contract the coronavirus at the school.

The two students were both in the Monday/ Wednesday cohorts.

“In both cases, we had been previously notified of close contacts, and the two students were quarantined at that time to avoid any further exposure to other students or staff,” the letter read.

At this time, no school closures are recommended. According to Harris and Rehwaldt’s letter, individual school closure

is recommended based on the number of cases, the percentage of the teacher/ students/staff that are positive for COVID-19 and in consultation with county Public Health department.

“Individual school closure may be appropriate when there are multiple cases in multiple cohorts at a school or when at least 5 percent of the total number of teachers/student/staff are cases within a 14-day period, depending on the size and physical layout of the school,” they wrote.

With the confirmed positive cases, the DNUSD is taking the following steps

immediately: — Del Norte County’s Public Health Office, with cooperation of DNSUD, will begin contact tracing.

— All affected students and staff, in the two cohorts only, will be placed on quarantine for 14 calendar days. Schools will notify those families regarding how to access school by distance learning.

— DNUSD will work with the schools to clean and disinfect the classrooms, per California Department of Public Health and CDC guidelines, and in accordance

with the District Epidemic/ Pandemic Safety Plan.

— Based on the results of public health’s contact tracing, any other students or staff who were in close contact with the positive cases may be quarantined.

— COVID-19 testing will most likely be recommended for all quarantined students and staff, and they should contact their local healthcare provider or follow directions from Public Health when contacted.

“Public Health and the District have been and will continue to work closely together to help our schools and community

remain healthy and safe,” the letter states. “Please remember that this is why our schools are implementing cohorts and why the wearing of face coverings, physical distancing, and hand washing or sanitizing are so important.”

Rehwaldt reiterated and Harris emphasized, DNUSD will not be able to stop the virus nor ensure that no one contracts it, “but can minimize exposure, slow the spread and continue to take a slow, methodical and thoughtful approach to students returning to school.”

The Yurok Tribe will soon provide fully equipped tablets and allin-one printers to Yurok children living on and off of the reservation.

“The Yurok Tribal Council wants to make sure our students have the tools they need to succeed in school, whether they are in the classroom or distance learning,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “With this gift, we

are sending a message to let our youth know how much we care about them and want to see them prosper. These age-appropriate devices will help students of all ages excel in their education and development.”

Every Yurok student between the age of 2 and 17 will receive an iPad or a tablet, a durable case, a keyboard and earbuds.

All Yurok households with a child in this age

range will also receive one printer. Ipads will be provided to students who are between 4 and 17 years old. Children ages 2-3 years old will get age-appropriate tablets filled with games that encourage the learning of numbers and letters as well as the development of critical-thinking skills.

The Tribe is going to put on drive-through events in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties to quickly and safely distribute the learning tools. The devices will be shipped directly to tribal youth who live outside of these counties. Yurok parents are reminded to update

their home addresses with the Enrollment Department, which can be reached by calling (707) 482-1350.

The Tribe has been working on acquiring the digital devices for approximately one month, but global supply chain issues, factory shutdowns and a massive spike in demand have made it difficult to purchase the large quantity devices needed. For this reason, the printers will be distributed at a later date.

The funding for the tablets and printers came from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Nov. 19, 1931 – Oct. 6, 2020

Presley Scott “Scotty” Tryon was 88 years old when he died October 6, 2020. Born in Crescent City, November 19, 1931, he grew up helping his parents on the family beef and dairy ranch in Fort Dick.

During WWII, he worked for his parents’ hardware store assembling John Deere tractors and implements. His early employment included working for his older brother, Marlin, in the logging industry, before becoming a self-employed farmer, rancher, and dairyman.

“It’s a lot of fun. Not too many of the the high-dollar cars came out here in mud and with a chance of rain,” Jaime said. “But I’m glad they let us have it this year. It was a little iffy there for a while with COVID. But it’s good for the community.”

Cindy Vosburg, executive director of event co-sponsor Crescent City and Del Norte Chamber of Commerce, said the community members who showed up were able to vote in more than 100 categories to place their favorite car. Here’s a look at the winners from the top five most popular categories: — Chamber’s Choice/ Trophy Sponsor State Farm Lisa McKeown: 1947 Ford Ambulance, owned by Jim and Judy Davis, of Ravendale, Calif.

stepped up and made it great.”

Bartholomew said, no exaggeration, 20 to 25 people genuinely said thank you so much for doing the car show.

“They said they’ve been waiting all year to get out,” he said. “One gentleman said he and his wife retired five years ago and all they do is travel around the region to car shows.

Sea Cruise was only his third show this year.”

Bill Browning, while admiring a 1932 Plymouth Sedan, said he drove his 1956 AMC Hudson Hornet from Arcada.

“I poked my head out my house and thought maybe they’d cancel it,” Browning said. “But then I thought, what the hell, I’m here, I’ve paid for the motel and the gas, might as well go. I’m glad I did.”

“I told them you bring me 10 entries we’ll have a contest. That pays for trophies,” Bartholomew said. “We didn’t have 10, I think we had five, but we’ll keep it (the low rider category). I don’t think it’s fair disqualifying them this year with everything going on.”

While the receipts are still being counted, Bartholomew said as long as they broke even or better, he’d consider that a win.

In light of the two recent students testing positive for COVID-19, how safe do you feel it is to send students back to learning in the classroom this far into the coronavirus pandemic?

Magarino: COVID-19 cases in our community is certainly something that needs to be followed closely and adhere to with the safety protocols by our public health department.

Our schools have developed and implemented a protocol and plan to keep our students and staff safe.

There has been no advanced warning, no public notice, no chance to consider or discuss this public issue.”

Mary Wilson, who owns Ocean World, added the community has very few industries to rely on and as tourism is one of them, she fears the loss of revenue and ongoing operating costs.

“I don’t feel the amount of money that will be left over to maintain the facility will be enough to adequately take care of it. Right now the facility is in good condition because it’s not owned by the county and the business owners maintain it constantly. I’m concerned about the ongoing cost associated.”

Supervisor Lori Cowan said she has worked thousands of hours to find solutions to the county’s homeless problem through various programs like No Place Like Home and Mission Possible’s work on homeless shelters, and supports the county’s purchase of Coastal Inn & Suites.

“This is the right solution, that our teachers are an essential part in the fabric of the community.

With that said, we are seven months into this pandemic, our students need to have an interaction on a personal level with their peers and teachers. Students have myriad learning styles and by reopening our schools we can reach all of our students.

“While we are disappointed with the results, we know our volunteer firefighter program is the heart of this community,” said Fire Chief Bill Gillespie stated. “The board would like to thank all the property owners who voted in the election, and the volunteers who worked to help get information out about the assessment.”

“Because of the District’s partnership with the City, operating costs of the department are shared between the two,” the CFPD release said.

In 1987, and later in 2006, CFPD established a benefit assessment to help fund services and apparatus replacement. However, a portion of this assessment is set to expire next year, which is why CFPD Board of Directors had voted to move forward with the Prop. 218 benefit assessment this fall.

Letter to the editor

Trump refuses to follow the COVID science Scott Atlas, Trump’s newly minted COVID-19 adviser, is a charlatan posing as knowledgeable in infectious diseases but lacking relevant expertise.

Atlas is a radiologist who has been repudiated by 78 of his former colleagues from Stanford Medical School for expressing opinions contrary to medical science consensus.

Herd immunity with a disease such as

COVID-19 requires that 70% of the population become immune. With a current population of 330 million, this means 230 million Americans must contract the disease, recover, and become immune. Unfortunately, the jury is still out on whether those recovering from COVID-19 gain long-term immunity.

Case mortality in the U.S. is currently 2.9%.

Assuming that this death rate applies to those Americans contracting the disease, over 6 million of us must die.

Additionally, many individuals recovering

from the disease experience long-term damage to their lungs, heart and brain. Thus, in addition to the millions of deaths, Trump’s plan will cause many thousands of Americans to suffer long-term health consequences.

At the same time as he’s promoting American deaths, Trump is committed to eliminating the Affordable Care Act and eliminate health coverage for millions of Americans.

We have choices: follow medical science or proposals leading to millions of deaths.

Huffman Announces Education Grants for Native Communities The U.S. Department of Education is awarding over $1.5 million in federal funding to the Yurok and Tolowa Dee-Ni’ tribes in California’s Second District. The Demonstration Grants have been awarded to evaluate and expand school services for Native children.

Representative Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), who represents the Tribes in California’s Second District, said adequate funding is critical in ensuring the success of all students, especially Native American students who are often more likely to attend schools in rural and underserved districts.

“This funding will increase collaboration between local tribes and schools, improve enrollment and retention of native students, and expand programs and services such as apprenticeships, classes on native language and culture, online courses, and books and supplies,” Huffman said in a press release. “The federal government has a long history of turning its back on Native communities, and I’m glad to see them support critical education programs in our local

Native communities.”

The grants are anticipated to help 2,000 students from the Yurok Tribe and 1,000 students from the Tolowa Dee-Ni’ Nation, and will be distributed as follows: • $1,038,353 to the Yurok Tribe’s Native Educational Choices and Empowerment Project • $655,193 to the Tolowa Dee-Ni’ Nation’s California/Oregon Indian Student Services Program.

“The Yurok Tribe is using these much-needed funds to create a customizable support system for tribal students,” said Yurok Chairman Joseph L. James. “In an effort to close the achievement gap, we are creating a digital platform that parents and students can use to select a series of standard and cultural relevant services, ranging from college counseling to traditional knowledge development.

This specially tailored tool will ensure that our students receive the targeted assistance they need to complete high school and continue their education, whether it’s at a university or a vocational academy.”

Sutter’s improves care for patients A6 | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Sutter Health’s network of 22 hospitals has reduced the stays for COVID-19 patients from an average of 20 days to just eight days today, thanks to a coordinated response deployed by the integrated healthcare system.

It is one of the ways to show the power of an integrated network in responding to this health emergency. Care teams across the Sutter Health network give

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

patients high-quality care whether at large medical centers in San Francisco and Sacramento or rural hospitals in Crescent City and Lake County.

“Rural hospitals such as ours in Crescent City face unique challenges in terms of resources and the expertise needed from specially trained physicians and nurses,” said Mitch Hanna, CEO of Sutter Coast Hospital. “But, the Sutter integrated network has been there every step

of the way with necessary supplies and immediate access to the specialists that helped us care safely and successfully for our community, regardless of the patients’ ability to pay for care.”

Some other key examples of the effectiveness of Sutter Health’s integrated network include: • The ability to increase care capacity by 200-300% in the midst of the pandemic • Expanding telehealth

services to shift from serving 20 to 7,000 patient visits per day • Doubling the capacity of remote electronic intensive care units so patients could access 24/7 critical care specialists • Reallocating crucial resources to get personal protective equipment and ventilators where they were needed most “We made investments very early on in the beginnings of our network so that we could best support the hospitals, care centers and other health services in our communities,” said William Isenberg, M.D., chief quality and safety officer for Sutter Health.

“That planning has helped us in ways we could never have imagined during the pandemic, as well as during some of the wildfires that have touched parts of our Northern California service area.”

Sutter Health serves one of the most demographically and geographically diverse regions in the nation, which means the healthcare system works to identify and respond to the different needs of different communities. An integrated network is able to quickly respond and adjust to the needs in local communities.

An integrated network also supports an easier sharing of best practices, which can help improve clinical outcomes. For instance, care teams across Sutter were able to minimize the need for ventilators in COVID-19-positive patients by using other appropriate therapies.

Consistent meetings and briefings between hospital clinical leaders and those within Sutter Health’s Emergency Management System helped provide the timeliest information and

developments. Hospital clinical leaders then could quickly turn around and share these findings and approaches with their own hospital incident command centers and teams on the ground.

“Our mission has always focused on enhancing the well-being of all residents in Del Norte County and surrounding communities and we meet that mission when we collaborate with teams across our network,” Hanna added. “These efforts have made an even greater impact during these past seven months – helping improve patient outcomes and slow the spread of the virus. While there are still many unknowns with the pandemic, our network has the structure and our teams have the experience and expertise to continue serving the needs of patients and families throughout Northern California.”

Police department reinstates Crime Free Multi-Housing Program

The Crescent City Police Department is re-implementing a program they hope will reforge a partnership with the community while reducing crime — the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program.

Police Chief Richard Griffin told the City Council at their Oct. 5 meeting the program was first implemented years ago under by Chief Douglas Plack, but fell by the wayside for various issues. “When I first came on, this was one of my first priorities,” Griffin said.

“I wanted to bring it back because I know what good it did back then.”

Sergeant Justin Gill, who used to run the program, said the basics of the program is it’s a partnership between the CCPD, tenants and landlords to create a safe environment for everybody.

“It makes it easier to deal with problem children.

It makes landlords more accountable to make apartments a better place to live, dealing with normal things like lighting, locks, fire alarms, stuff like that that a lot of people overlook,” Gill explained.

Griffin said he was excited to bring the program back, believing it won’t cost his department more than overtime costs for training and implementing the program and producing signs for facilities that complete it.

“We’ve been doing an excellent job this year and I

believe in cutting overtime costs,” Griffin said. “This requires an initial training for landlords of eight hours.

I expect the costs to be minimal and covered by the department’s existing budget.”

Gill, too, was excited Griffin made it a priority to bring back the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program.

“I saw firsthand how it impacted the community.

This is community-oriented policing at its core. This is the philosophy of the police department. For us and our officers, this is a great time to bring it back because we really want to be involved,” Gill said.

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program starts with eight-hour training designated for apartment owners, management and their management team.

As a trained facilitator, Gill walks them through safety protocols, roles of law enforcement, landlord-tenant disputes, fire safety and much more.

“We really get them up to speed and give them the empowerment they need to be present and be well-trained apartment managers, showing them how we can help them and how they can help us as law enforcement,” Gill said.

After the training, they do a Crime Prevention Thorough Environmental Design, where law enforcement goes out to apartment communities and walks with apartment owners and managers to come up with ways to make that community more safe, covering lighting, ingress, egress, fencing, peepholes in doors, appropriately labeled apartments and even shrub height.

“We help them get to a point where their property is going to combat illegal activity,” Gil said.

The third and final phase is a safety social. The apartment community has a celebration, where the fire department is invited and

Sgt. Anthony Lopez and Canine Lt. Kai help present the program to the community.

Gill said the program includes a lease addendum, which is the backbone of the program, that says if you engage in criminal activity, you can be kicked out.

“It’s basically zero tolerance for criminal activity,” he said.

Then, every time an officer responds to one of these properties, the management gets notified, such as reports of drug or heroine sales out of an apartment, allowing them to follow up on any lease violation.

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program requires annual recertification followed by another safety social. And each community receives a big sign touting them as a member of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program.

“It’s not an easy program,” Gill added. “We had a lot of participants last time that got certified. It just takes hard work, a time commitment and communication between apartment communities and police department.”

He said after 3-6 months of being involved in the program, calls for services went down at participating locations.

Housing Authority Director Megan Miller told the City Council she heard consistently good feedback about the program.

“They felt safer and it inspired more of a community feel. I’m just really happy it’s coming back,” Miller said.

Councilor Jason Greenough thanked them for taking on the program.

“Too often law enforcement is reactive instead of proactive,” Greenough said.

“This gives us the opportunity to put it in practice, get involved in the community, to get out there and do something, rather than waiting by the radio and responding to calls.”

Amezcua is a graduate of the College of the Siskiyous Law Enforcement Academy.

Growing up in Weed, California, Amezcua had early ambitions of pursuing a career in the medical field. He even served as a certified nursing assistant for several years.

Apperson said the DNSO feels absolutely fortunate to have him on

board.

“Deputy Amezcua has a great background and wants to serve for all the right reasons,” Apperson wrote on the DNSO Facebook page. “He is community oriented and I am certain that Del Norte County will be a better place with him providing public safety to the people that live, work and visit here.”

Amezcua said he simply wants to help people.

“I understand that I may be called to serve them during their worst day and my goal is to be helpful,” Amezcua said.

At the swearing in ceremony, Amezcua’s wife DNSO Deputy Corina Amezcua pinned on his

Bigfoot Trail Youth Stewardship Project links communities along 360-mile path A8 | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020

The Bigfoot Trail Alliance is launching the Bigfoot Trail Youth Stewardship Project to transform the Klamath Mountains into a learning laboratory to engage elementary, middle and high school students in experiential/ place-based learning about watersheds, ecosystems, biodiversity, fire ecology and climate change.

Michael Kauffmann, board president of the Bigfoot Trail Alliance, will serve as the Project Director will work with regional nonprofits to creating a durable framework that establishes relationships between interested regional partners.

Currently six nonprofits are part of the team, including the Watershed Research & Training Center in Hayfork, Trinity Together in Weaverville, Scott Valley Watershed Council, Salmon River Restoration Council in Sawyer’s Bar, Mid Klamath Watershed Council in Orleans and Smith River Alliance in Hiouchi.

Phase 1 has been generously funded by the S.H. Cowell Foundation, whose work is organized around a place-based grantmaking that improves the quality of life for children and families in small, rural communities in Northern California.

“I am excited to be a part of this project and see

The classroom learning and field-based experiences will enhance student’s environmental literacy and relationship to other communities across the Klamath Mountains.”

Joshua Smith, the Watershed Stewardship Program Director at the Hayfork Watershed Research and Training Center, said the similar communities in the Klamath Mountain region separated by great distances across rugged

mountains are connected by the unique forests, wild rivers and amazing trails.

“We partner with many of these NGO’s on regional fire, fisheries and water projects and this project will be one more way to bring our organizations and communities closer together to achieve our ecological and community health goals,” Smith said.

One of the linkages across this vast landscape is a long-distance hiking trail. The Bigfoot Trail is a 360-mile pathway created in 2009 using existing trails and roads, linked together to celebrate the regional biodiversity in the Klamath Mountains.

The route has the po-

tential to connect these rural communities both physically and psychically by building a network of groups interested in relationship building between young people from the communities and the wilderness around them while also introducing vocational possibilities to youth across the region.

“I’m excited to build on curriculum we already have in place and develop new curriculum for our communities,” said Carol Earnest, Community & Stewardship Program Director at the Mid Klamath Watershed Council.

“There is potential to develop citizen science projects that students across

“This is a unique opportunity to connect non-profits across the region through project-based curriculum and outdoor experiences,” added Patty McCleary, the executive director of the Smith River Alliance. “I am excited to

support it, watch it develop and positively impact our region’s youth.”

City staff presents plan to reopen municipal pool City Council to wait until after election to see if sale tax increase passes to pay for operation costs

By David Hayes The Triplicate

City Councilors are encouraging city staff to get the ball rolling on as much of its plan to reopen Fred Endert Municipal Pool, rather than waiting to see if Measure S passes on election day Nov. 3.

Technically, the pool could reopen now with strict guidelines under the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy as Del Norte County is currently in the orange moderate tier.

Recreation Director Holly Wendt said in her presentation to the councilors Oct. 5 counties that are in the orange moderate and yellow minimal categories — the

third and fourth tiers — can reopen indoor pools under tight regulations and restrictions.

“For us, the Fred Endert Municipal Pool can only be open when Del Norte is in the minimal yellow or in the moderate orange category,” Wendt said. “We’ve worked hard and done a lot of research and participated in a lot of meetings to come up with a reopening plan.”

However, the pool was kept closed as one of city’s cost-cutting measures to address a projected $800,000 loss for the 2020-21 fiscal year due to less revenue coming in during the pandemic. City Manager Eric Wier explained the pool costs the city between $220,000 to $250,000 to keep open. He added a problem could arise if the county’s position on the reopening tier changes for the worse, forcing another closure.

“To stay in the moderate, we have to estimate less than a case a day, or seven cases in a week,” Wier said. “You know that we’ve been sort of

He added that’s why he supports Measure S, which would generate funds to keep open the pool, in addition for Crescent City Fire & Rescue, the police department and road maintenance.

“We’re going to have to have a long term sustainable plan. Yes, we can generate more revenue by raising the costs. That’s what other communities and other municipal pools have done,” Inscore said. “The unfortunate thing, from my perspective, is raising the cost puts a disproportionate burden on the low-income community.”

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 480 AMADOR STREET CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 088054-CA. 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.

At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this Notice of Default and Foreclosure Sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary, before public auction of the property is completed.

FAMILY FRIEND FEARS YOUNG WOMAN IS ADDICTED TO METH

DEAR ABBY: The 22-yearold daughter of close friends of ours has been living in a van during the pandemic. Her parents, my husband and I heard her on her cellphone talking about a party where her friends were doing meth. No one reacted except me. I said, “That’s terrifying!” and she answered, “Right?”

I cannot stop worrying about this young woman, who I have watched grow since she was a baby. The red spots on her face, which I had assumed were from acne, now haunt me. What can I do?

I had offered her the use of our driveway, if needed, but I don’t want meth users here because I have two college-age sons, so now I regret even that. I feel since she broached the topic she

was asking for help. Her mom let it completely slide. Help! -- SICK WITH WORRY IN COLORADO DEAR SICK: The baby you watched grow up is now an adult.

If you think she was asking for help because she is addicted to methamphetamine, talk to her and offer to help her get it. IF she says she wants to move her van to your property, explain that as long as she is using and/or partying with contemporaries who do, the offer is off the table.

As to her parents who, from what you wrote, appear to be clue-

less, tell them you are alarmed and why, and urge them to go online and educate themselves about the symptoms of meth addiction, which include facial sores. *** DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful husband. He is very outgoing, and I would like to think of myself as the same, but I work hard. He always makes plans for the weekends, but sometimes I just want to stay home, relax and get the house in order. The problem is, he insists we go and do something like day or overnight trips hours away every weekend. I encourage him to go visit our friends because I know I can trust him, and I need some alone time! Am I wrong for that?

-- PEACEFUL AND STILL DEAR PEACEFUL: You are not wrong. You are as entitled to your feelings as your husband is

to his. Things should not always have to be his way. The two of you need to work out a compromise. (Compromise is the secret ingredient in happy marriages.) If he feels the need to get away and it doesn’t bother you because you trust him, you should be entitled to time at home to get the place -- and your head -- straight. *** DEAR ABBY: I am my husband’s second wife. His first wife died of cancer eight years ago.

His late wife’s mother still calls him her son-in-law and introduces him as such. She also asks him to help her with things around the house, like getting mulch and remodeling the bath. She invites all of us over to holidays, but I can’t help but feel awkward. Am I overreacting? Shouldn’t she find someone else to help her now that bond is broken? -- IN

THE PRESENT IN INDIANA DEAR IN THE PRESENT: If the bond were broken, your husband’s former mother-in-law would find someone else, and your husband would help her to do it. He may still feel like a member of that family. Please be smart and less defensive. The woman is making an effort to include you in her celebrations.

Accept the gesture for what it is and be gracious. *** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
