Peppers and music go together at Del Norte High School

BY JULIE AKINS For The Triplicate

When you think of Red Hot Chili Peppers and music, chances are the supergroup which broke through generations of fans with their multiple hit albums and singles come to mind - -but the Del Norte High School Music Boosters club is hoping instead that you think of them.

The organizers, Daniel Sedgewick and Collin Kirkwood promise “The music department will perform a Christmas carol and eat a Spicy pepper while singing/ playing.”

Warriors go on the road and crush Tennyson in playoff opener

BY RAY HAMILL

For The Triplicate

The Del Norte Warriors had a point to prove to the North Coast Section in their playoff opener last weekend, and they did that and more.

After being denied a home game for the opening round despite enjoying a dominating regular season and winning a Big 4 championship, Del Norte was seeded fifth in the Division-4 bracket and forced to travel

to Hayward to play No. 4 Tennyson High on Friday night.

Many Warriors fans and players felt that game should have been played in Crescent City and that they should have been seeded higher than the Lancers after being ranked higher them all season long.

Friday’s performance and a thoroughly dominating 50-14 victory backed that belief.

It was also the program’s first playoff game in the new Division-4 field after the Warriors were moved

up from Division 5 this year because of their recent success there.

“I thought we stepped up to the challenge of playing in a higher division and the adversity of having to travel down when we should have had the four seed,” head coach Nick White said.

“We came down on a mission, We were ready to go.”

The Del Norte players took control of the game quickly and decisively and opened up a 29-0 lead before the end of the first

quarter.

For the game, they rushed for an incredible 534 yards behind a dominating performance by the line, with Giancarlo Desolenni, RJ Loftin and Aden Mintonye all surpassing the 100-yard mark before the end of the third quarter.

Loftin scored four touchdowns in the win, including three in the opening quarter, while Desolenni added a 31-yard TD run and finished

New walking trail dedicated in Hiouchi

BY ROGER GITLIN

For The Triplicate

National and State Parks, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and the Smith River Alliance have announced the dedication of the Hiouchi Trail.

The less than a mile gravel path connecting the Jed Smith Redwood State Park with the fire station provides a safe pedestrian conduit to the iconic Hiouchi Café and the Hiouchi Hamlet Shopping center from busy 199 traffic.

The trail, whose Tolowa Dee-ni’ name is X.AA-YU-CHIT TES-dvm (High-Status-Special-River) Trail situated on hallowed and historical Tolowa ancestral lands, is now owned by the federal government 95 percent and five percent State land.

Costs for the trail of approximately $50,000 was paid for by National and State Parks staff which designed the .8 mile trail and a bevy of volunteers who completed the project, last year.

Many agencies and governance contributed to the fruition of this decades-long project including the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission, the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors, the Elk Valley Rancheria, the Big Rock Community Services and the Hiouchi Hamlet. With so many different partners. The observation is

It’s a fundraiser designed so that the Del Norte High music program can take their show on the road. The jazz bands are hoping to attend a festival most likely in Reno, the concert band hopes to play at a festival at Sonoma State University in the Bay area and the choirs want to go to Disneyland to perform.

Extra curricular activities such as these require some outside financial assistance so the booster club started a GoFundMe on November 3, entitled the “Chili Pepper Fundraiser.” They hope to raise $10,000 when it’s finished. So far they’re up to $350.

“If you donate to this weird and fun project, you will receive a live stream link to watch the event live!!!,” according to organizer Sedgewick.

And he’s offered to sweeten the pot, according to the GoFundMe page.

“Higher donors will have the option of coming in person too! Also, we will be producing a video because we have to remember this forever! Your name or business will be in the credits as a thank you for your support,” the page promises.

As students are able to travel again for performances now that Covid 19 restrictions have eased, this may be the first opportunity for many high school students to perform before a live audience and to travel for music.

The fundraiser is being supported by the Sedgewicks, Daniel and Lisa and also Nick and Lisa Rail who donated $250. The Rail’s are behind the goal of a performing arts center at Del Norte High School. When completed, it would seat 1,000 people and also serve as an emergency center.

Nick and Lisa Rail have already donated $1 million and expect to raise the additional $41 million to build as long time supporters of the school and the arts.

The fundraiser for students to play outside Del Norte County is officially underway and supporters hope you’ll contribute by making their message known and they’re willing to sacrifice,

5 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON

Make COVID-19 an uninvited guest. It's okay to set rules! Whether that's having everyone be up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines or getting tested, everyone wants to celebrate safely.

Stay healthy to ensure you can fully enjoy all the celebrations. Getting your vaccine and updated booster will help protect you and your loved ones so you can make the most of the festivities together. The holidays are a busy time of year and staying healthy ensures you can fully enjoy all the celebrations with family and friends.

Enjoy your festivities in the fresh air. Consider hosting your guests outdoors, if weather permits. If gathering indoors, open a few windows to keep fresh air circulating.

Test before gathering. At-home COVID-19 tests provide a sense of security before you gather. Testing positive for COVID-19 means staying home until symptoms have passed.

Consider wearing a mask based on local transmission rates.

COVID-19 case rates and hospitalizations can change quickly. It’s a good idea to know what’s going on in your community and to recognize your own tolerance levels and those of your guests. If you’re hosting a large indoor event, consider placing a basket of masks at the door for your guests if they choose to wear one. Attending a large-scale event? Remember to bring a well-fitting mask to use when you arrive if it makes you feel more comfortable.

In God’s perfect timing, Alice Lorraine Rhodus, age 94, passed away in a very gentle and peaceful manner with her loving family beside her on November 1, 2022. She was born to Peter and Marie Eastman and raised in Klamath Falls Oregon.

She is survived by her daughter Ronda Nelson, her 2 grandchildren Rande McKellar and Trevor Nelson, and her 3 great grandchildren.

Alice is also survived by her sister Elsie Howell, her brother Donald Eastman, and many nieces and nephews, all who loved her very much. Alice is predeceased by her loving husband of 46 years, Bert Rhodus, whom she referred to as “Deary”, her son Rodney Rhodus, her sisters Martha Dwight, Margaret Eastman, Carol Keesee, and brothers Richard Eastman, Bobby Eastman, and Johnny Eastman.

Alice married Bert in 1947 and moved to Crescent City. She worked with the telephone company for a while. Through the years she shared some pretty funny stories about that job but soon the time came when Alice and

Bert decided to go into the feed business and opened the “Del Norte Feed” store. Many a person worked at the feed store including many nieces and nephews. When someone needed a job, Alice would convince Bert that they needed extra help. Together they ran their successful business for over 40 years before retiring.

Alice was also a conscientious community member, was active in “Soroptimist” for many years and served as president for some time. She had a great sense of humor and once gifted her old dental bridge which was wrapped so beautifully in the white elephant exchange.

She loved sports! Baseball, basketball, football! She was an avid Giants fan and preferred the 49ners over the Rams. But her most loved sports were the Del Norte and away games of family and friends, ages 5 years to 18 years. She went to those games until the last few years of her life.

Alice was a person who knew no stranger. Her home was located on Hwy 101, so throughout the years she had been privy to many travelers in need of assistance. Never once did she turn away a stranger in need regardless of the time of day or night. Much to her family’s concern, especially as she became older, but she believed and lived by her belief that God is her protector. And He was. Many many times. She was indeed from another era.

Alice was very active in her church until the last year of her life when age made mornings difficult. Back in the day, Alice and Bert were happy to be part of building the new Fort Dick Bible Church. Most noteworthy however, is the time Alice

dedicated herself to serve young families by tending to the little ones every Sunday in the church nursery for 44 years. She retired at 90 years of age.

While we recognize many friends may be disappointed, there will be no memorial service presently, it is our duty to honor our loved ones wishes. This wish reflects her strong sense of independence as well as her strong sense of determination. She lived with humility; she also left us with humility.

Please be aware that we will be announcing a “Celebration of life” in the future.

Finally, we will miss Alice, also once known as Big Al, more than she ever dreamed, and we are so thankful for her life well lived, full of love, humor, humility, and grace.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the “Fort Dick Bible Church” (6725 Lake Earl Dr. Crescent City Ca. 95531) designated for the nursery.

Irene Teixeira Marques

On November 8, 2022, our mother, Irene Teixeira Marques passed away into God’s graces after a battle with cancer. A warrior throughout life, she was 59 years old. Irene, a resident of Crescent City, Ca., was born on May 3, 1963, in Terceira, Azores, Portugal. She married John Marques on January 20, 1990.

Irene is survived by her husband John Marques, her two daughters Anamarie Marques and Juliane Marie Peterson, her two grandsons Adrian Flores and Henry Peterson, her mother Alexandrina Borges, and her 7 siblings Alexandrina Borges, Maria Borges, John Borges, Rosa Beltran, Delia Black, Joe Borges, and Robert Borges.

A longtime manager at KFC, Irene Marques will be greatly missed. Her loss is deeply felt.

Visitation will be held at Wier’s Mortuary Chapel on Thursday, November 17, 2022, at 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm with the Rosary starting at

Voting should not leave you angry

Surprised by the new requirement at the voting table that the volun teer call the Recorder’s Office to verify my name and address before I could be given a ballot. Naturally a loss to privacy as the poll worker speaks on their cell phone in the voting room for anyone to hear.

Not enough that my name and address are printed in the registration book and I have presented myself as the eligible resident. Funny pecu liar that no picture ID is required to vote, but without a cell connection to a third party I would not be allowed to cast a ballot in person.

A pink trickle

As I write this Sunday morning, the infamous “Red Wave” seems to have petered out to barely a pinkish trickle. Good news for this country and the majority of its people who value truth, democracy, women’s rights, human rights and who value their voting rights without fear of militia extremists patrolling polling places trying to intimidate voters.

Unlike most of my fellow non GQP members however, I’m not as giddy and positive that sanity and cooperation will return soon. The voting was too close, the Democrats hold on the Senate is razor thin, the House still looks like the Republicans will be the majority, and two bizarre election deniers and conspiracy theorists, Kari Lake for the gov ernorship of Arizona and Herschell Walker for a Georgia Senate seat, still have chances of winning.

Unbelievable what the GQP puts forth as candidates these frac tious days. Lets all just hope one of the main problems of the hate and divisiveness in our country, Trump, will finally fade away after most all of his lying conspiracy theorists he backed lost. I don’t know if his inflated ego will take the embarrassment.

Avoid a holiday tragedy

The holiday season comes with family gatherings, social time with friends, and office parties. These joyful events can lead to life-altering consequences, like drunken driving.

When I was 16 years old in 1992, a drunken driver hit me. I had a four month coma, broken bones, paralysis and brain injuries. My gait and speech are affected and I lost my driving and hearing abilities. For 30+ years, I read lips and cannot enjoy holiday music due to my brain injury. Drunken drivers injure lives many ways.

Planning to take US Route 101 to attend a holiday gathering? Make smart decisions now if planning to drink: Don’t drive drunk. The law enforcement and I urge you to have a sober friend, taxi, etc. drive you to and from this location. This ensures everyone’s safety on the road, including yours.

My continuous message to drive sober will never get old because it saves lives. Having a sober driver is a superb way to begin 2023. Happy Holidays.

Lori Martin Tracy, California

I was dismayed to see in the last Triplicate that Roger Gitlin had expanded to the front page, with two news stories in addition to his editorial. This is disturbing. Gitlin is welcome to his opinions, but I would not rely on him for fact-based news. I hope that this is not a regular occurrence.

Gitlin’s headline “Del Norte County leans conservative in state races” is an observation of the obvi ous. However, in the first sentence he makes a nonsensical statement that “Governor Gavin Newsom again lost another Del Norte Coun ty election.” This is a meaningless assertion. Newsom did not lose. He was overwhelmingly reelected as our Governor.

Gitlin implies that it is a good thing that the majority of our local voters are out of step with what is happening with our state as a whole. Every statewide candidate that Del Norte County voted for lost. How does it help our county to remind these representatives that our county did not support them? Why should our Governor, Congressman, State Senator and Assemblymember care to help us when we did not support them?

Del Norte County is a little red island on a blue coast in a blue state. We are not separate from the rest of California and our local elected officials must find a way to work in this system for the benefit of our community.

It took almost a week to count all the ballots that were received in our recent election. Preliminary results were reported on election night based on 6312 ballots that were received before the election and at the polls.

Last Thursday it was reported that there were still 2070 ballots left to process. This was about 25% of the total votes cast and enough to swing a few close elections. This left some

Eye on Del Norte

Those of us that have experience with elections know it takes time to process ballots and tabulate votes. This ensures that every vote is count ed in a fair and transparent way, but some people expected that we should get the election results immediately. This is not realistic.

Even worse, a few misguided souls suggested that a delay in re porting creates a chance for corrup tion. This is not supported by any evidence and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the process.

I was pleased to see Roger Gitlin try to educate his followers with this on-line comment, “Folks, please understand this process cannot be rushed. Clerk Alissia Northrup strives for absolute integrity and 100% accuracy.”

Sometimes we agree.

Sometimes political parties agree. The local Democratic Party and Republican Party both endorsed a no vote on Measures T and U. This is rare bipartisan support for a good policy.

Sometimes the voters in Del Norte County agree with the majority of voters in California. A Del Norte majority voted to support Proposi tion 1 to protect the constitutional right to reproductive freedom. This issue proved to be a decisive factor in elections across the country as voters pushed back on efforts to deny women the right to make choices regarding their bodily autonomy.

Del Norte County voters also supported Proposition 28 which will provide additional funding for arts and music education in public schools. Reliable support for music and the arts is one of the endearing attributes of our community. Our lo cal schools have expanded music and arts programs and I expect that our new School Board member Abbie Crist will continue this momentum. The final unofficial vote count was

completed on Monday. The election results are not certified final until 30 days after the election, but this last count defined who won and lost.

I am disappointed with the results of our Supervisor elections, but I will accept the result and try to make the best of it. We shall see what these newly elected Supervisors will do that will benefit the community.

I am a resident of District 4 and Joey Borges is now my Supervisor. I don’t know what his goals are based on his campaign. My hope is that he will commit the time to read, learn, attend meetings and try his best to do something useful.

I have less hope that Supervi sor Wilson will do anything good. During his campaign, Wilson blamed Governor Newsom for less safe streets, exploding homelessness and rampant drug use. It is easy to blame someone else for our community’s problems during a campaign, but these are all issues that should be addressed locally.

Wilson is now responsible for solving problems, not blaming oth ers. What will Wilson do to increase affordable housing in our commu nity? Will he support funding to improve mental health and addiction treatment services?

Finally, I want to congratulate Rick Shepard and Gerhard Weber for their reelection to the Harbor Dis trict. I am a little disappointed that I did not win, but I wish them the best of luck.

Del Norte County results were correctly predicted. No real surpris es, contrary to the faux RED WAVE which was predicted and never happened across America.

A critical mistake was made by Susan Masten in seeking Govenor Newsom’s appointment and appeared to have hurt Masten, who has now endured two losses for the Su pervisor, one in 1996 and the other this past week.

Indeed, I was critical of candidate Masten for her policies, depen dence on more government and the questionable sale of her Steelhead Lodge to the Yurok Tribe which derived funding from State Senator

Mike McGuire’s Operation Home key, in Klamath Glen. I believe my comment was QUID PRO QUO. Masten’s defeat is not all her fault. It confuses one to under-stand that those who pushed hardest for candi date Masten enjoy limited popularity in Del Norte County.

Gov. Newsom has never won a Del Norte County race after cam paigns for Lt. Governor and Gov ernor. State Senator Mike McGuire has never celebrated a victory in Del Norte. Neither has Assemblymember Jim Wood nor our CA-2 congress man. Jared Huffman.

I doubt that any of our State and National elected give even a second thought to their failure to identi fy with the majority of Del Norte voters.

Wilson was resolute and clear on his road to finish off the Berkowitz term. Wilson will be up for re-elec tion in 14 months.

Patty Adams was unable to galva nize a relationship with the majority of District Four constituents. The en dorsement by the Del Norte Repub lican Party was ineffective, feeble and highly suspect. Adams message was…” go along, get along,” not her “Agent of Change” mantra. Joey Borges from his Primary victory to this win was firm, firm and consis tent. Borges is elected to a full fouryear term.

The race for the second Harbor Commissioner found Republican Central Committee member Gerhard Weber prevailing over head of the Del Norte Democrat Party by 84 votes. I remain puzzled how the Har bor can be governed in a Republican or Democrat manner. It would ap pear a healthy dose of nepotism was directed to appointed commissioner

Weber who sits on the RCC board yet ran on no platform, no candidate statement and very limited Harbor experience, yet managed the win. It is disappointing to observe these tepid endorsements from the local RCC and because of their sorority-like behavior in touting their own, ignore the actual qualifications of the candidate. I will continue to distance myself from any and all Del Norte County Republican Party association, until changes are made and implemented.

The dark horse candidate for Har bor who garnered 2,213 votes just 19 votes behind Hendrick was Annie Nehmer.

I hope Annie runs again in 2024.

Congratulations to Abby Christ (Dist.2) and Michael Greer (Dist. 5) on their school Board victories it’s my hope these two will lead this Board in returning to Academics, Math and Language Arts proficiency. For too long Del Norte test scores languish on the bottom 25 percent of State test scores. Unacceptable and absolutely tragic.

Results remain Unofficial until the first week of December

Final Note: Allow to commend Elections Clerk Alissia Northrup and her staff. The job of “bean count ing,” correctly tabulating votes under sometimes difficult circumstances and pressure is admirable. Thank you. Alissia and staff for a job well done.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of James Michael Hester

A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Charles W. Hester, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that: Charles W. Hester 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: November 18, 2022 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 issu ance 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.

Date of Sale: 12/08/2022 at 11:00 AM

Place of Sale: On the steps of the southwest entrance to the Flynn Administration Bldg. located at 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531

Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $222,116.22 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2011 Parkway Dr Crescent City, CA 955318054 A.P.N.: 112-142-42 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrect ness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, direc tions 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 con vey 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 De fault 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 record er’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort gage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROP ERTY 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 postpone ments 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 appli cable, 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 22-30482-BA-CA. Infor mation 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 postpone ment information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT*: You may have a right to purchase this prop erty after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trust ee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 888-264-4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-30482-BA-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee re ceives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trust ee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immedi ately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

*Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.
