Crescent City, CA

Staff defends actions in wake of allegations

By David Hayes The Triplicate

The Del Norte County Supervisor’s meeting Oct. 27 veered off the scheduled agenda when a resident levied an accusation the county improperly used public money and resources to promote its proposed sales tax increase.

During public comment, county resident Jeff L. McHadden detailed his allegations against County Adminstrative Officer Jay Sarina and Emergency Services Manager Kymmie Scott.

McHadden alleged Sarina

entered into a $40,000 contract to advertise Measure R and Scott used her department title to try to sway voters in favor of the tax increase when she lent her voice to a robocall last week to voters.

“Our county’s financial resources must not be used to sway votes during an election,” McHadden wrote. “Not only did the county use public funds to sway an election, but it was done surreptitiously. Mr. Sarina and whoever signed for the Board of Supervisors must be held accountable and reimburse the county the full amount paid for

these advertisements.”

If passed, Measure R would generate about $1.2 million that would go toward repairing potholes and streets, maintaining emergency dispatch services and mitigating blight and public nuisances.

Although he did not comment during the public input period Tuesday, District 1 Supervisor Roger Gitlin had voiced his concerns about the robocalls over the weekend on his Facebook page.

“My understanding is the Office of Emergency Services has

launched this robocall campaign.

An aggressive postcard campaign has also been launched,” Gitlin wrote on Facebook. “Emergency Services??? Is this a fire or flood issue this community faces?

What is emergency about the County engaging in political activity?”

Sarina vehemently denied the charges by both McHadden and Gitlin.

“The allegations are clearly not correct,” Sarina told The Triplicate Wendesday. “I have an expenditure authority as the purchasing agent of up to $50,000.”

Citing authority granted by government code 25502.3 on purchasing agents, Sarina said he signed a contract with Oakland-based Clifford Moss, not to exceed $40,000, to dissemeninate informaiton about Measure R. That included mailers and phone calls to voters thorugh a third-party service Clifford Moss chose. Sarina said the county’s Everbridge service it uses for its Community Alert System was never used for the robocalls.

“We would never use the Everbridge system for such a Please see Allegations, Page A3

Tedd Ward, Del Norte County Solid Waste Management Authority director, replaces a no trespassing sign that has been shot up by vandals, on a fence along Heights Access Road leading to the former Crescent City Landfill.

Waste management director assault leads to charges, changes at landfill

By David Hayes The Triplicate

The 167-acre county owned property that contains the former Crescent City Landfill has become an increasingly unsafe location for solid waste employees.

The Del Norte Solid Waste Management Authority was forced to address security concerns and legal actions at its Oct. 20 meeting, two weeks after its director Tedd Ward was assaulted on the property.

At Ward’s request, DNSWMA commissioners asked their legal counsel, Martha Rice, to pursue a workplace violence restraining order against his alleged assailant, Sparky-Lee Wyatt Phillips.

Del Norte County Undersheriff Randy Waltz said Phillips, 25,

Sparky-Lee Wyatt Phillips was arrested at his residence Oct. 10 on Old Mill Road. According to Waltz, Phillips faces several charges related to the assault and others from previous outstanding warrants, including assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily

injury, robbery, battery with serious bodily injury, force or assault with a deadly weapon that’s not a firearm, failure to appear after a written promise, obstruction and resisting, and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia.

Rice said at the commissioner’s meeting that since Ward’s assault is one example in a series of incidents that jeopardized the safety of other staff members, a restraining order can apply to all authority employees.

Ward said in his report to Del Norte County Sheriff’s office that he was off work and taking a stroll along Heights Access Road, Oct. 8. When he heard ATV engines, Ward began filming on his cell phone then spotted Phillips emerge from an adjacent trail on an ATV. Ward called 911 and when Phillips saw

him, he and a second, unknown suspect, accelerated at him, narrowly missing. Phillips then dismounted his ATV and, when Ward would not relinquish his phone, he allegedly assaulted Ward. Ward said he received 4050 punches, eventually suffering a broken rib and collapsed lung.

Ward said the narrow lane provides little escape from a determined assault, as it’s lined by a barbed wire fence. He was able to eventually duck through the fence and escape into the brush.

He would spend that night in surgery at Sutter Coast Hospital.

“It’s very disappointing,” Ward told The Triplicate. “This is a bad situation we have to deal with. We have a lot of challenges in our agency, recycling work, trying to recover organics, to try Please see Assault, Page A3

Coastal Cleanup nets two tons of trash

By David Hayes The Triplicate

The Marszal family picked a beautiful day to take an outing to Crescent City’s south beach Oct. 17. Only this particular cloudless day, instead of a casual stroll, Jeff and Cassandra brought their kids Luca, 3 and Nova, 4 months, to get dirty, picking up discarded garbage in the Smith River Alliance’s annual Del Norte Coastal Cleanup.

“We’re just trying to do the right thing clean up some garbage,” Jeff said about volunteering for cleanup for their first time ever. “We thought it was the right time to come out and contribute to the effort. Also, we thought it would be a good learning oppor-

tunity for our son. We’re really glad they’re doing it.”

The Marszals were among nearly 50 volunteers in SRA’s cleanup team for an event that overcame multiple challenges to remove two tons of trash.

With coronavirus concerns and nearby wildfires causing evacuations and hazardous breathing conditions, organizers and project partners chose to reschedule what is normally a September event. Dates were pushed back, air quality monitored and a series of precautions adopted to assure participant safety. The outcome was a successful fourth year of SRA coordinating the Coastal Cleanup.

Luca Marszal, 3, hands a piece of trash he picked up to place in a trash bag his mom, Cassandra, is holding along with his sibling Nova, 4 months. They participated in the Smith River Alliance’s annual Coastal Cleanup Oct. 17 at Crescent City’s south beach.

Frustrated with the consequences students are facing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, board members directed the superintendent to reach out to state officials expressing Del Norte County has reached a boiling point.

At their Oct. 22 meeting, the Del Norte Unified School District Board of Trustees directed Superintendent Jeff Harris to concentrate the message toward better testing, rather than a petition for fully reopening.

“I cannot in good conscious support a letter that says let us open our schools,” said Trustee Charlaine Mazzei. “I can support a letter that says if you want us to open our schools, this is what we need and this is how much it’s going to cost. That kind of a letter would be helpful and would be something that we can let the state know, ‘hey, us rural communities need testing too.’”

The trustees asked Harris to create a resolution and a letter outlining the need for a more robust testing protocol in rural communities, including statistics to illustrate Del Norte County’s challenges that predate the COVID-19 pandemic — mental health, child abuse and domestic violence.

“This is not a criticism of teachers, not a criticism of parents, it’s the lack of that comprehensive education that our kids are experiencing at this point simply because of where we are with the virus and the restrictions,” Harris explained.

“It really is kind of an exhortation to give us what we need as we move ahead — not to hold us back and not to have us be second fiddle as they provide resources and support to other areas and leave us to fend for ourselves.”

Trustees shared parents’ frustration levels in messages they’ve received.

Jamie Forkner said some are still struggling to wrap their heads around digital applications students need to get through their lessons while others worry about burdensome level of homework they have to assist their child with after a long day at work.

Angela Greenough spoke of attendance concerns, as parents have told her they have to fight with their child just to contact their teacher. But the check-in time, which can take up to 10 Please see COVID, Page A3

Lighthouse Cove or Lighthouse Beach.

In the ensuing two weeks, Wendt said she conducted an informal survey of the current 26 guests at the RV park with the two options.

“We had a resounding winner and great public feedback with Lighthouse Cove RV Park,” Wendt said. “Eighty-five percent of guests coming through liked Cove above Lighthouse Beach.”

Councilor Alex Fallmen found the new name Lighthouse Cove to his liking.

“It has mystique, it sounds mysterious, it’s unique. It’s the way to go,” he said.

Calling in on Zoom, Rinkel also lent support to the new name.

“I wholeheartedly concur with that name and I think it’s wonderful,” Rinkel said.

Wendt then shared two logos to go with the new name, designed by local graphic artist Bryant Anderson III — a darker blue, two-tone graphic and a multi colored graphic more in line with the Battery Point Lighthouse way finding signs that used by the city to point visitors toward tourist locations.

Wendt said city staff favored the two-tone version.

“We’d like to get uniforms for staff and merchandising,” she said. “You can do different pricing scales with two-tone graphics, multi-colored graphics or more.”

Kime, leaned toward the design consistent with wayfinding signs, and appreciated a design that could be used for uniforms and merchandising.

“That’s the whole point of being able to have that little shop where you can sell that souvenir t-shirt or hat or, ‘Oh, my kid lost his sweatshirt and I need to buy a new one,’” Kime said.

“Those are all the things that are going to really make this RV park.”

Kime and Mayor Blake Inscore wanted to make sure merchandise was made available not just at the RV park, but in multiple locations such as the Visitor’s Center and other key places.

“We can make them available perhaps at a booth at First Fridays when we eventually have them again,” Inscore suggested.

“It would be a great opportunity to tell our community about this great asset we have I’m sure there are people in the city who don’t know the city has that RV park.”

City’s RV park gets a new name — Lighthouse Cove The Triplicate

Salute to Vets

By David Hayes

Above: A large gang of elk hang out in a field off Highway 101 south of the Fort Dick area on a sunny Oct. 25.

Crescent City took one step closer to transitioning its RV park into a destination resort by selecting its new name — Lighthouse Cove.

As part of an upgrade to the city-owned Shoreline RV Park, Recreation Director Holly Wendt suggested in 2019 a name change, as online searches often brought up other locations and lead to potential guests making reservations there, rather than in Crescent City.

Their first choice, developed by an ad-hoc committee, was Lighthouse Shores.

Unfortunately, Wendt told the councilors at their Oct. 19 meeting, on Oct. 5, staff learned local business owner and City Council Candidate Herman Rinkel already uses the moniker for his Airbnb rental apartments.

Wendt said she spoke about the situation with Mayor Pro Tem Heidi Kime, who suggested the names

Cleanup

our coastal areas in spite of this year’s challenges” said Tara Dettmar, a cleanup coordinator with SRA. While last year’s event drew in 250 volunteers, with the proper precautions, this year’s cleanup

drew participants from the Disaster Animal Response Team, the Del Norte High School Interact Club and even a few from nearby counties. Dettmar said the total recovered trash, metal and recycling was 4,040

pounds from along the coastline and up the Smith River.

“We especially appreciate our many business partners who support this work and the Whale Tail Grant Program. Our business

partners are recognized as River Guardians on the SRA website,” she said.

SRA is now recruiting volunteers for a Fall and Winter cleanup at areas within the Smith River National Recreation Area

(NRA). Up to 80% of coastal trash originates inland so the goal is to clean up the NRA and prevent that trash from reaching the ocean. If interested, please email Tara@smithriveralliance.org.

Seymour said trespassers use drainage structures for target practice, creating a constant battle of maintenance from the vandalism.

During the incident, she called 911. Seymour said a deputy spoke to Phillips and his companion and were told not to be here.

However, she said after they got their warning, they remained nearby on their ATVs, revving their engines, waiting until the deputy left. And once he did, they came right back on property, Seymour said.

“We’re both in the neighborhood,” Seymour said. “We live close to where there’s shooting.

This is our backyard. This

goes on all night long. It can start at 3 a.m. until it gets light. There is shooting, fireworks and what sounds to me like bombs.”

“We suspect they shot propane tanks,” Ward added.

He said the stricter trespassing ordinance would be similar to what they have at the Del Norte County Regional Airport.

“That will enable State Parks to be a little more aggressive in enforcement, which is what they’re prepared to do,” he said.

He added the DNSWMA commission is looking into extra security, including a partnership with the Sheriff’s office. They will also

discuss at a special, closed session meeting Nov. 4 possible property acquisition adjacent the landfill to reduce illegal access points.

The Crescent City Landfill operated from 1977-2005 and closure construction was completed in 2006. A chief reason it was closed, Ward explained, is by definition, a landfill is a bird attractor that is situated too close to the airport.

“It’s a lot of land with a long perimeter to try and control,” he said.

He added the county has a 30-year post closure maintenance period.

“As long as there’s a

potential threat to ground water, there’ll be somebody monitoring it,” he said.

While some of the property is okay for to walk or ride bikes through, Ward said the areas that are out of bounds are clearly marked by signs. However, he added, those just get removed or shot up by trespassers.

In addition, Ward said the landfill has had gates stolen — staff are in the process of replacing one and installing two more to create choke points so trespassers won’t be able to easily drive across the property.

“In terms of technical staff, it’s me and Kyra.

Adding this cost and complication is entirely unacceptable. And we need to do something so that we can just do the work we’re supposed to do without worrying about our safety in the process of doing it,” Ward said.

He added he will do everything he can to protect his staff.

“It’s an odd situation that I’m both the director and the victim in this case.

This could have happened to any of our staff. In some ways, I’d rather it be me than anybody else, but it doesn’t change my resolve that this will not stand,” Ward said, emphasizing the last few words.

of lost education that we have a responsibility to give. It’s our duty to do that,” Magarino said.

“How we go about it, we’re not figuring that out. We’ve got to figure that out really fast because there’s just too much things that are percolating that are are far more damaging than what’s going on with these other things.”

Harris shared tales he’s also heard from staff and around the county.

Harris said he’s heard from teachers and principals that disciplinary problems have decreased when students are at school their two-days a week. He said some students are learning more because they’re in smaller groups, while others don’t want to leave campus when the day is over.

“They are seeing the ability to come to school as a privilege and something they’re truly valuing and missing mas-

sively,” Harris explained.

“Almost every teacher I’ve talked to has talked about the importance of those relationships and how difficult those relationships are in distance learning.”

Harris added that because of social distancing and isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, depression and anxiety locally has increased.

“Over the past three weeks, we’ve worked with three different

families who have either had students attempt suicide or had suicidal thoughts or ideation,” he said. “And these are kids between kindergarten and 12th grade. So, really providing supports and understanding where we are is part and parcel of where we’re finding ourselves in this whole mix.”

Harris added he’s heard Del Norte County Child Welfare Services is reporting the number of referrals has decreased

by about 60 percent. He chalks this up to children having limited interaction with nurses, teachers, psychologists and other caregivers who would make those referrals.

Harris said for the resolution and letter to the state, he’ll get input from the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors, the Crescent City Council, tribal leaders and other community partners to express the county’s needs.

that aren’t factual.”

However, Gitlin told The Triplicate he found Sarina’s explaination “woefully inadequate” and Howard’s comment inappropriate as Supervisors are not to respond during public comment.

Gitlin, who was the lone Supervisor to oppose the county drafting the sales tax increase measure, said he chose to withhold comments because it was an unagendized topic.

“The information we want to give public facts.

Sarina’s explanation is fraught with inconsistencies, incorrect interpretations and flaws. I thought the purpose of the voters guide was to give

the facts,” Gitlin said.

“Mr. Sarino getting into a contract of up to $40,000 is disingenuous. It’s a dishonest, use of political clout to have Kymmie Scott and Del Norte Ambulance say the sky is falling if we don’t pay for these services.”

Sarina maintains that the robocalls followed guidance by the California Fair Political Practices Commission, and did not use what the FPPC calls “magic words” of advocacy such as vote fore, elect, support or cast your ballot.

Gitlin said that while he advocates the county pursuing other avenues to raise funds to pay for

its programs, he points to the City of Crescent City taking the correct route to pass its similar Measure S, that would raise the sales tax by 1 cent within the city limits. He said unlike the county, Crescent City formed a committee “Citizens to Keep Crescent City Safe and Strong” which has raised more then $27,000 to promote Measure S. Gitlin added he has pursued his own campaign as a citizen, not as a Supervisor, to defeat Measure R. He said because he’s spent less than $2,000 he is not required to form a committee of his own.

“What the county has done I think is unethical,

using $40,000 from the general fund to promote the measure is clearly

wrong and they will have to answer to the FPPC,” he said.

“It was really heartening to see our Del Norte community turnout to maintain the health and beauty of

to deal with regular activities of our work.”

The DNSWMA staff have had ongoing security issues with trespassers, including Phillips. Krya Seymour, facility and programs coordinator, told The Triplicate that on Sept.

1, she and her coworker encountered the assailant and a female both riding ATVs. “We heard them, packed up our equipment and got back in vehicle with the intent to gather evidence, because we’re sick and tired of ATV marauding,” Seymour said.

thing for obvious reasons,” Sarina said. “That’s an assumption and an allegation thrown out there that is completely false.”

He added Scott and Del Norte Ambulance owner Ron Sandler volunteered to provide the information in the robocalls.

“This was not a campaign. It was information only. There were no references in support or opposition to the measure,” Sarina explained.

“There’s a large distinction between campaigning and an informational.”

He added because McHadden’s email came during public comment period, it’s allegations don’t have to be factual, and because the board of supervisors did not render an opinion on the matter, they could ask for clarification, as District 3 Supervisor Chris Howard did.

“The statement that was read was not factual and whether our CAO or one of us clarifies that for the public at large in the audience — that needs to be clarified,” Howard said. “I don’t want to let comments like that stand

Letters to the editor

Crescent City needs women’s clothing stores, not men’s hardware stores I have lived in Crescent City for 21 years.

My question is why do we need all these tool stores?

I would like to see some clothing stores come in. I don’t think I am the only woman asking this question. Instead of ordering on line or driving eighty miles to shop. To me this is absolutely ridiculous.

There are women living in the town and would like to see this happen.

Angela Long Crescent City

Cast a vote based on presidential candidates’ actions When I had a problem with my faucet and sink, I called a plumber. When I had trouble with my

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

lights, I called an electrician. When I kept getting attacked by rabid raccoons, I called animal control who promptly told me, “Sorry, buddy, you are on your own.” My point is, I want a specialist for the situation.

So, the election is coming up.

We are once again faced with the choice between a career politician and a businessman. Neither of them has a stellar past, but, again, I need to go with the specialist for the job at hand. One knows the laws of our country while the other knowingly breaks them. One is a creep who messages women’s shoulders and smells their hair while the other allegedly rapes women. One has not cheated on his wife while the other cheated on all of his wives. One has not gone through bankruptcy while the other is very familiar, having gone through it seven times. One

attends church on a regular basis while the other holds the Bible like it is burning him. The choice is difficult to be sure.

There is a saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” This basically means that one should take into account what an individual does instead of what that individual says.

One time, while teaching kindergarten, I told the students not to put the markers in their mouths just before art time. Later, I went up to a girl and told her again the rule about markers. She looked me dead in the eyes and said she didn’t. As she spoke to me, the rainbow of colors around her lips gave her away.

All I ask is to take into account all of the candidates’ past actions before making a decision for president.

Additionally, cyber actors may use a seemingly legitimate email account to entice the public into clicking on malicious files or links.

The FBI urges all Americans to critically evaluate the websites they visit and the emails sent to their personal and business email accounts and to seek out reliable and verified information on the election.

Here are some other recommendations: • Verify the spelling of web addresses and email addresses that look trustworthy but may, in reality, just be close imitations of legitimate election websites.

• Seek out information from trustworthy sources, verifying who produced the content and considering their intent. One option: the Election Assistance Commission at https://www.eac. gov. That group provides a vast amount of verified information and resources.

• Ensure operating systems and applications are updated to the most current versions.

• Update anti-malware and anti-virus software and conduct regular network scans.

• Use strong two-factor authentication if possible, via biometrics (such as face or fingerprint scans), hardware tokens, or authentication apps.

• Do not open e-mails or attachments from unknown individuals.

• Do not communicate with unsolicited e-mail senders.

• Never provide personal information of any sort via e-mail.

FBI warns of digital ‘spoofing’ scams during election season Just one week away from election day, The FBI has some tips on dealing with how bad actors can use “spoofing” to try to impact your vote.

Foreign actors and cybercriminals use spoofed domains and email accounts to appear legitimate.

Through them, the bad actors can disseminate false information; gather valid usernames, passwords, and email addresses; collect personally identifiable information; and spread malware, leading to further compromises and potential financial losses.

Cyber actors set up spoofed domains with slightly altered characteristics of legitimate domains.

A spoofed domain may feature an alternate spelling of a word, i.e., “electon” instead of “election”, or use “[.]com” in place of “[.] gov.”

CHP offers online Start Smart program DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has been awarded a grant to help young drivers learn how to eliminate highrisk actions and decrease their chances of being in a crash.

Designed for newly licensed teen drivers and their parents or guardians, the “Start Smart” program is currently being conducted online for 2020-21 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The two-hour course has been developed specifically to reduce vehicle crashes that cause serious injuries and fatalities. The free program incorporates innovative techniques to capture the attention of teens and parents, while addressing common driving dangers.

“The ‘Start Smart’ program is an effective tool for teens and their parents to combat young drivers’ risky driving behaviors,” CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley said. “The department is committed to making a difference in the future of California’s youth through continued traffic safety educational efforts.”

The “Start Smart” curriculum is based on collision statistics, teen driver and passenger behaviors, Graduated Driver License (GDL) laws, cultural changes and the need for stronger parental involvement. Parents and guardians are reminded of their responsibility to teach their new driver and model good driving behaviors.

Parents and teenagers can register for a “Start Smart” class by the Crescent City CHP office at (707) 218-2000. More information about “Start Smart” and the GDL program can be found on the free CHP Start Smart mobile app, which is available on Android and iOS devices. The app also includes access to the California Driver Handbook and a trip logger to keep track of the user’s driving time to help them prepare to obtain their license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Trail Alliance clears the way for trail through recreational area

By David Hayes The Triplicate

The Del Norte Trail Alliance has rallied volunteers the past 2 1/2 years to help the Six Rivers National Forest maintain their trails.

Last weekend, the group refocused their efforts to start clearing the way for an 11-mile mountain bike trail.

“It will be the first mountain bike trail built on National Forrest land in Smith River Recreational Area,” said Joe Gillespie, president of the Del Norte Trail Alliance.

“This will be a great opportunity for Del Norte County to show its support for mountain biking as part of its recreation infrastructure,” he added.

“If the community comes forward and supports the project, it has the greater potential for us to win new mountain bike trails on national forrest but also in our state and national parks.”

Gillespie started the Alliance to build mountain bike trails in Del Norte County and build a bike park in Crescent City. Their proposal made it into one of the final three designs for the Master Plan for Beach Front Park currently being developed by the city.

Gillespie worked with District Ranger Jeff Marszal to get the Smith River National Recreation Area (SRNRA) project approved, dubbed the Hurdygurdy Mountainbike Bike Trail.

The bike path will be built partly along existing old logging roads through the SRNRA, starting up Haden Gulch working its way uphill before dropping down a challenging ridge ride, then travel 2.3 miles back to the Big Flat Campground.

Before the volunteers began clearing the trail path and delineating the course, the Del Norte Trail Alliance had to secure funding to proceed to phase two — paying for contractor Trail Labs from Mt. Shasta to design the course. To pay for the contractor, Gillespie said the Alliance kicked off the drive chipping in $5,000 of its own, raised nearly another $7,500 in an online fundraising campaign, and got a matching $10,000 grant

from Coast Central Credit Union, which it gave to the Alliance’s fiscal partner Redwoods Parks Conservancy.

Then, Forest Service Specialists will be brought in to walk the route and develop an assessment for an National Environmental Police Act (NEPA) study.

Once the NEPA is approved, Gillespie said they can start building the trail.

“There are potentially 200 mountain bikers in the community,” Gillespie estimated. “Mountain bike trails also draw people from all over the region to try the trails — the Rogue Valley, Humboldt County and as far as San Francisco — just to ride trails on the north coast. Many premier trails are frozen out during the winter.

Mountain bikers throughout California would like to come up to Humboldt, Del Norte and Curry counties throughout our season.”

But to get to the building phase, the Alliance will need deep pockets to fund the project. Gillespie figures the cost to develop the trail could be between $20,000 to $25,000 per mile.

“Depending on the funding we get, to accomplish the build and hire a contractor, we’re looking at $200,000 to start,” Gillespie said.

He said potential funds exist from the Forest Service Region 5 Office or maybe Prop. 68 funding, which the California State Coastal Conservancy pays to create parks, enhancing river parkways or protecting coastal forests and wetlands.

“If everything went incredibly well, we could open a year from this fall. But, realistically, it probably would not debut until the fall of 2022,” Gillespie said.

In the meantime, he invites volunteers to join them this Saturday, Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. to help clear more of the Hurdygurdy trail. While tools will be provided, Gillespie is especially looking for anyone with their own chainsaws. Meet the group 2.3 miles up French Hill Road from the South Fork Road.

For more information, contact Gillespie at (707) 954-1641 or go to the Del Norte Trail Alliance Facebook page.

Time to review medicare coverage

By Seema Verma

Administrator, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Medicare’s annual Open Enrollment season is underway, and I want to encourage all people with Medicare to review their current health and prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Advantage plan premiums have fallen to historic lows, dropping an average of 34% over the last three years. Many plans are offering a new insulin benefit that limits the maximum cost to $35 for a 30-day supply. By shopping around, you may be able to save money and find a plan that better meets your needs.

Open Enrollment runs through Dec. 7 each year.

This is the time when you can change your Medicare health or drug coverage for the following year. You can switch to Original Medicare, or join or change a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D prescription drug plan.

Any new coverage you select takes effect Jan. 1, 2021.

Our updated Medicare Plan Finder (www.Medicare.gov/plan-compare) can help you compare the prices and benefits of Medicare Advantage plans, Original Medicare, Medicare drug plans, and Medigap policies. This mobile-friendly tool works on smart phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

For beneficiaries who have created an account, we’ve personalized Plan Finder to generate a personal drug history so that prescription

Seema Verma information will be auto-populated from personal Medicare claims history with accurate brand, dosage, and frequency information. But anyone can browse options without creating an account.

Many Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans that include drug coverage are participating in a new insulin savings initiative. These plans now offer 30 days of insulin for $35 or less – an average savings of $446-per-year on out-ofpocket costs. To find a plan with lower-cost insulin, look for “Insulin Savings” on Medicare Plan Finder.

There are important differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Here’s a brief summary: Original Medicare With Original Medicare, you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, anywhere in the U.S. In most cases, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist.

For services covered under Medicare Part B, you usually pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you meet your deductible. You also

pay a monthly premium for Part B. If you choose to join a Part D drug plan, you’ll pay an additional monthly premium.

There’s no yearly limit on what you pay out-ofpocket, unless you have supplemental coverage, such as Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap.

Medigap can help pay your remaining out-ofpocket costs (like your 20% coinsurance). Or you can use coverage from a former employer or union, or Medicaid.

Original Medicare covers most medically necessary services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other health care settings. It doesn’t cover some benefits, including vision and most dental care.

In most cases, you don’t have to get a service or item approved ahead of time for Original Medicare to cover it.

Medicare Advantage Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by private insurers that provide your Medicare Part A and B benefits, in many cases through a managed network, similar to an HMO. In many cases, you’ll need to use doctors and other providers in the plan’s network and service area to get the lowest out-of-pocket costs.

HMO model plans won’t cover providers outside the plan’s network and service area unless certain exceptions apply, such as emergency services.

You may need to get a

referral to see a specialist, even if the specialist is in your plan’s network.

Out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Advantage vary, and plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs for certain services.

You may have to pay a monthly plan premium in addition to your monthly Part B premium. Some plans may have a $0 premium or may help pay all or part of your Part B premiums.

Plans have a yearly limit on what you pay out-of-pocket for services covered under Medicare Part A and Part B. Once you reach your plan’s limit, you pay nothing for services covered by Part A and Part B for the rest of the year.

Plans must cover all medically necessary services that Original Medicare covers. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, such as some vision, hearing, dental, benefits, as well as adult day health services, caregiver support, in-home support, and home-based palliative care.

In some cases, you have to get a service or item approved ahead of time for the plan to cover it.

MAN IS UNSURE OF THE FUTURE WITH HIS BI-CURIOUS FIANCEE DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I are in our early 50s. We dated for two years and have been engaged for three months. She’s a wonderful lady, and I can’t imagine life without her.

I knew she was bi-curious a year ago when she told me one of her married female co-workers was flirting with her and she kind of enjoyed it. Since then, their relationship has grown, and they get together every couple of weeks for intimacy in our home.

They have even asked me to join them, which I haven’t done yet.

My fiancee insists she isn’t a lesbian or bisexual and what she and her friend are doing is innocent fun, but I’m not so sure.

So far, I haven’t made an issue of it and go to bed at my usual

time when her friend visits so they can have their fun. But have I opened Pandora’s box by being so agreeable?

She promises no romantic feelings are involved, that her friend is no threat to our relationship and the two of them are just blowing off steam. Our love life is great, and she says nothing can replace us in the bedroom.

Should I continue to look the other way? Or is this a fork in the road that could lead to a life of “anything goes”? -- CONFOUNDED IN KENTUCKY

DEAR CONFOUNDED: This is not happening because you “allowed” it. It is happening because this is what your fiancee feels she needs. Not knowing her, I can’t predict where she is on a Kinsey scale — a one being entirely heterosexual and a 10 being entirely homosexual. At this point, I don’t think she can either.

Unless you are comfortable with the idea of living this way, I urge you to have a very long engagement because it is anybody’s guess how this will turn out. The three of you are all consenting adults, so I won’t judge. (I can’t help but wonder if the spouse of your fiancee’s lover knows about the steam they are blowing off.) I must, however, point out that if a traditional, monogamous marriage is what you want, your fiancee may not be the lady for you. ***

DEAR ABBY: I am 15, and in my job I work with some of my cousins and siblings. There are other people, too. I make friends easily because I can talk to everyone.

Everyone I work with says I’m flirting with two guys who are just my friends. I don’t want people to think I’m flirting because I’m not. How can I convince people that we are just friends and nothing more? -- FRIENDLY TEEN IN IDAHO DEAR TEEN: The individuals who are accusing you of flirting may be teasing you to get a reaction. Or, they may be trying to point out something important that you should keep in mind when you are working. Working with someone is different from hanging out. The relationships are a little more formal (and serious) than in a social environment

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

away from the job.

This will not be your only venture into the workforce, and when you are a little older, you will realize that rules discouraging personal relationships between co-workers, both written and unwritten, are put in place to protect you and the business. So rather than work on convincing “people” that you’re not flirting, be your friendly self but in a more professional way.

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.

Date of Sale: 12/02/2020 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: On the steps of the southwest entrance of the County Administration Building, 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $27,220.84 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3575 Kings Valley Rd Crescent City, CA 95531 A.P.N.: 110-230-04 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 19-21371-SP-CA.

The petition for probate requests that: Justin Ray Washburn be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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: 11/20/2020 Time: 10:00am 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.

Public Notices 105 SULTAN CREEK ROAD, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $139,320.23 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 916-9390772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-201471.

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. Dated: 10/14/2020 PLACER FORECLOSURE, INC., as said Trust-
