Crescent City, CA

Council closes city hall due to COVID Del Norte County moved to Purple Tier By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

Rising COVID-19 cases in Del Norte County moved the county into the Purple Tier on Tuesday, which led to a unanimous vote by the Crescent City Council to close city hall for the rest of the year. City employees will still be at work and will be available to assist community members but only if appointments are made in

advance. Under the Purple Tier in California, non-essential businesses are forced to close to the public. Restaurants will move to carry-out or delivery service, and businesses are urged to allow as many workers as possible to work remotely. Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, the county’s public health officer, told council members COVID was spreading quickly in Crescent City. “I think it’s pretty clear things have changed a bit,” he said. “We’re probably over 300 cases. Not a good direction to go.”

Rehwaldt said contact tracers have found several major problems as the cases have grown. He said some people are still not taking the virus seriously, with many cases traced back to parties or large gatherings. He also said people have been going to work when sick and infecting others. “Stay home when you’re ill,” he said. “Forego the parties, forego the gatherings. It’s too dangerous now. I’m concerned about the upcoming holidays. I know people made plans. If it’s not too late to alter them, it’s probably the best things to do. Do not gather in large groups and

take precautions in your home. Wear a mask around your family. When you sit down for dinner, don’t sit down next to each other, spread out. Treat each other like you could be the one carrying it into the house.” While the number of cases is not good, there are a few positive notes, Rehwaldt said. “It’s not a good place for us to be,” he said. “It still hasn’t impacted our hospital. I think there’s only one person in the hospital.” Rehwaldt said there have also not been any cases as the city’s lone senior assisted living

facility. While there are new cases at Pelican Bay State Prison, it is slow growth and not a rapid escalation. Rehwaldt said with the move to the Purple Tier, a lot of businesses will be asked to move things outdoors. Councilman Alex Fallman said one thing he is hearing is that the virus isn’t deadly to most, so they aren’t going to make drastic changes. “Well, it’s still deadly,” Rehwaldt said. “Look at our numbers. It’s more deadly than the flu or the worst pneumonia we see. Please see Closure, Page A2

Last Chance Grade project is inching forward

A surprising and very happy birthday

By David Rupkalvis

Before Saturday, Don Johnson had celebrated 91 birthdays and thought he has seen it all. But thanks to his granddaughter and firefighters throughout Del Norte County, Johnson’s 92nd birthday is one he will never forget. As Johnson was celebrating with his family Saturday afternoon, he heard a familiar sound — sirens from the Crescent City Fire Department. A longtime volunteer with the fire department, Johnson has also lived around the corner from the station for decades. But these sirens were different. After the initial sound of sirens, something else began to play out of the fire engine driving down Breem Street. The sounds of “Happy Birthday” soon began to be heard, and Johnson and his family started paying more attention. When the first engine arrived in front of his house, Johnson was clearly shocked. His granddaughter, Vanessa Duncan, and her children jumped out to say happy birthday. For the next five minutes, fire engines and police cars David Rupkalvis, The Triplicate moved slowly down the street Don Johnson waves to a passing fire department engine during his 92nd birthday celebration Saturday.

Long-awaited plans to move the Last Chance Grade roadway for Highway 101 are moving forward, but a final solution is still likely a decade or longer away. During a town hall on the Last Chance Grade held last week, elected officials and representatives of the California Department of Transportation updated the progress on the project. While things are moving forward steadily, there is still a lot of work to do. Last Chance Grade is a threemile section of Highway 101 between Klamath and Crescent City that is, and has been for years, slowly sliding into the ocean. The road is currently being maintained just enough for traffic to continue, but residents are desperate for other solutions so as not to risk their primary road closing. Families from Klamath commute to Crescent City weekly, even daily, for groceries, school, work and more. Without Highway 101 connecting them, the drive from Klamath to Crescent City could take upwards of six hours, according to State Sen. Mike McGuire. McGuire hosted the town hall meeting and was joined by Congressman Jared Huffman, State Assemblyman Jim Wood, representatives from Del Norte County and Crescent City as well as CalTrans leaders working on the project. McGuire said recent funding will allow the geotechnical and environmental studies to move forward with a deadline of having the studies completed by 2026. Even with the 2026 deadline, McGuire said all parties involved hope to cut a year or

Crescent City dairy farm changes the industry By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

Blake and Stephanie Alexandre grew up working on family dairy farms and always knew they would one day own and run their own dairy farm. What they didn’t know is they would revolutionize the way family dairy farms can operate. Blake Alexandre grew up on his family’s farm in Humboldt County while Stephanie was working with her parents in Southern California. When they met and got married, they worked together on the farm in Southern California while dreaming of stepping out on their own. In 1992, they made the move, buying 560 acres near Crescent City. Over the years, they have slowly added on when land became available. Today, Alexandre Family Farm is 4,000

acres in Del Norte and Humboldt counties. They have also been joined by four of their five children, with their youngest still in college. They graze 4,500 cattle and up to 45,000 chickens on that land, running what was one of the earliest organic farms in the country. “Everything we do is organic,” Blake said. “We raise the chicken from day one up and the cows from day one up as organic.” As they stepped out on their own, the Alexandres became leaders in the environmental movement, not because of politics, but because it made sense on their farm. Blake explained that taking care of the land and animals is just the right way to run their dairy farm. When you run thousands of head of cattle and tens of thousands of chickens on the

While the dairy cattle at Alexandre Family Farm usually graze in open fields, during bad weather they are brought inside for safety. land, it is imperative that the land produce high-quality grass. So, Blake and Stephanie have become experts on grass, soil and what works best. “We’re big-time grass farm-

ers,” Blake said. “We lean on grass a lot for the cows and chickens. We’re very fortunate that we are in this region where we can lean on grass all year. We can graze 300 days a year.”

And the key to good grass is good soil. So, Blake has become an expert on soil. By treating the land right, it benefits his business and nature as a whole. Please see Dairy, Page A3

Dungeness crab season delayed due to whales The commercial Dungeness crab season in the central management area, Point Arena to the Mexico border, will continue to be delayed due to the presence of whales within fishing grounds and the potential for entanglement. The commercial Dungeness crab season in the northern management area was scheduled to open Sunday, Dec. 1, but was delayed until at least Wednesday, Dec. 16, due to low meat quality. Meat

quality testing and delays are a long-standing tristate industry supported component of the season opener to ensure high quality crab at the start of the fisheries in northern California, Oregon and Washington. In early December, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife director will re-assess entanglement risk in the central management area and evaluate risk in the northern management area to inform the season opener

for both areas. CDFW in partnership with researchers, federal agencies and the fishing industry has conducted surveys from the Oregon state line to the Channel Islands to observe marine life concentrations. CDFW has conducted five aerial surveys since late October and more than 10 vessel-based surveys have been conducted by researchers and the fishing industry. Additional sources of data include observa-

tions from a network of observers spread across three national marine sanctuaries. Based on those data sources, “CDFW, after consulting with the Dungeness Crab Fishing Gear Working Group, is enacting a delay in the central management area,” said CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham. “Available data indicates the whales still remain in the fishing grounds. This risk assessment focused on

the central management area because the northern management area was already delayed due to low meat quality. CDFW staff, collaborators and partners have scheduled additional surveys in the next few weeks that, weather permitting, are anticipated to provide the data necessary to reassess whale presence. Our hope is both quality testing and additional marine life survey data will support a unified statewide opener on Dec.

16, just in time to have crab for the holidays and New Year.” CDFW is planning additional aerial surveys for the first week of December to inform a risk assessment in advance of Dec. 16. When the data indicates the whales have migrated out of the fishing grounds, CDFW stands ready to open the commercial season.

for COVID patients without infecting others. “I would really like for us to get to the point where we don’t put any in a nursing home when they have COVID,” Greenough said. “I don’t know how we do that.” Mayor Pro Tem Heidi Kime asked Rehwaldt what the long-term goal was. “What is it we want out of this,” she asked. “What are you hearing? My understanding is the goal is to flatten the curve. We did that. That was supposed to be two weeks. I’m getting the impression we don’t want people to test positive. I was under the impression biology should take place. People would get this and build up a natural immunity to this. Can you explain what the

desired outcome is?” “We are trying to keep a lid on the virus,” Rehwaldt said. “I think a lot of people are just tired of this and they aren’t taking precautions. The flattening of the curve, calling it a two-week project was misleading. It’s really like a 12-month project.” Rehwaldt said the goal is to control the virus until a vaccine is available for wide distribution. Kime also asked about one other things Rehwaldt brought up. “Did I hear correctly, if I’m at home having dinner with my family, I need to wear a mask,” she asked. “If you’re eating, it’s pretty hard to have a mask on,” Rehwaldt said. “What we’re recommending is when you’re eating, spread

out. Maybe go into a large room and sit on your knees.” After hearing from Rehwaldt, the council voted to continue a local emergency order that has been in place since March. City Manager Eric Wier then asked the council to close city hall temporarily to protect the community and city employees. He said a number would be moved to working from home, but there would always be a presence at city hall. He said if someone needed to do business in person, they could call the city and set up an appointment. After some back and forth discussion, the council voted to shut down city hall through the end of the year.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

When Blake and Stephanie Alexandre started the Alexandre Family Farm in 1992, they had one focus — dairy cows. That began to change as their children grew up. Raising five kids on the farm in Crescent City was always part of the plan, but as the thought of sending their children to college came closer to reality, the Alexandres decided they needed a second income stream. So, with the help of their oldest sons, Christian and Joseph, they began looking at hens and eggs. “This chicken business was really a way of raising our kids,” Stephanie said “We started it when they were in junior high. We never intended to be in the egg business.” Like most ideas, the egg business started slow. Originally, there were around 150 hens in a coop right across the street from their home. Over the years, it grew slowly with 600 hens and then 1,000. But the big jump to make it a real business came from Christian. As part of an assignment in college, Christian built a business plan to expand the chicken operation to more than 20,000 birds. When he graduated from college, he brought the plan back to the farm with him and put it into action. Christian now runs the egg business at Alexandre Family Farm. His plan to grow the hen flock to more than 20,000 birds is still increasing. Today, there are between 40,000 and 45,000 hens on 300 acres at the farm. Every day, between 20,000 and 25,000 eggs are collected from the birds. Like their cattle, the chickens range freely. They

have mobile coops that are moved twice a week to ensure the birds have fresh grass to graze on. When the eggs are picked up daily, they are brought inside to be cleaned and examined. They are then boxed up and shipped along the west coast where they can be purchased at Whole Foods or Costco locations in California, Oregon and Washington. In recent years, they have even moved into Idaho and Arizona as business has grown. The key to the egg business at Alexandre Family Farm is not much different than the dairy business. Great soil leads to grasslands that can be grazed almost all year round. The chickens, while they have a coop, are allowed to graze freely before coming home every night. Because the chickens are most productive for less than four years, there are always new hens brought in. At any given time, 7,500 new hens are being raised to replace older ones. Last week, the hatchlings were just days old. But in time, they will be moved out to the fields to continue laying farm-fresh eggs. The end result is great eggs that are good for you and delicious. “It’s about nutrition,” Stephanie said. “Better food for people.” Top: Hundreds of hens graze ontheAlexandreFamilyFarmin CrescentCity.Theeggbusiness wasnotpartoftheoriginalplan buthasgrownintoalargepartof the family business.

“We’re trying to move forward and make products that have solutions to the biggest problems in our country, the health of the people and the environment. The way we do that is soil. That gives health to our community, financial health and healthy people.” The Alexandres began working on improving soil quality, largely through a massive program of turning cow manure into high-quality compost. The compost is then spread throughout the fields regularly to slowly improve the soil quality. The Alexandres have also taken steps to rebuild natural wetlands on their land. And the result has been better than imagined. “Because we built it, the bald eagles now come, the elk now come and the Aleutian geese come,” Blake said. The Aleutian geese

is a story that may have changed our world. Blake said when they began to make the improvements on the farm, there were just a few thousand geese left in the world. The geese fly through California twice a year when heading south for the winter and north for summer. With the removal of predators from the Aleutian Islands, the goose population began to grow. When changes on the Alexandre farm and two others in Central California began to take hold, the geese used those farms as a resting spots. What was once hundreds of birds resting is now tens of thousands every year as the population is improving. Alexandre said 85 percent of the entire population used their farms in Del Norte County 15 years ago during critical recovery time. Improving the land and cattle genetics has also improved the milk the dairy produces. While the average cow produces milk with between 3 and 3.5

percent butter fat, the cattle at Alexandre Dairy are routinely between 4 and 4.5 percent butter fat. Alexandre Family Farm’s No. 1 selling milk, its version of whole milk, has 6 percent butter fat. Stephanie explained that while fat in milk has long been considered a negative, studies have shown the natural fats are great for bodies. “You’re getting more of the good stuff this way,” Blake said. “Fat is not the enemy, sugar is.” The Alexandres also process their milk differently than most. Using the old-fashioned technique of heating the milk slowly to at least 145 degrees for 30 minutes is a time-consuming process, but it makes a milk with a 25-day shelf life. As their product has become more available, mostly along the entire west coast, they have begun hearing from fans. Every day, they receive messages and letters saying thank you.

“We receive those things daily now,” Blake said. “That’s why we do it. We want to bring sustainability to our farm, but we want to do it for our community and our customers.” Several years ago, the Alexandres learned about A2, a digestible protein found in mother’s milk and the milk of all mammals. The big exception was dairy. Most dairy cattle had a change in their DNA that created a protein that does not break apart naturally called A1. As a result, more and more people began getting symptoms assuming they were lactose intolerant. Blake and Stephanie decided they wanted their cows to be different. So through and extensive and expensive process, every cow on the farm received a DNA test to see if they had the A2/A2 protein. Those that did were separated from those that did not. Every bull used for breeding was also tested with a goal of having a dairy farm where the A2 protein (digestible dairy) is back in the milk.

Since 2007, every cow on the farm and every cow born on the farm gets the test. The result has been a herd of A2 cows which enables to Alexandre Dairy to sell milk that is A2/A2, with both the mom cow and the bull A2 positive. With A2 back in the milk, almost no one has issues drinking it. “Folks that have had dairy intolerance for many, many years try it and say, ‘Oh, that works for me,’” Blake said. The Alexandre Family Farm was the first dairy in the United States to have an A2 herd and is one of only a handful today. The result is a product that consumers love. They sell their traditional milks, but also have chocolate, vanilla and ginger turmeric milks. Three kinds of yogurts, cream and other

goodies are also available. During the holiday season, egg nog is also on the menu. But even the egg nog, chocolate and vanilla flavors have very limited sugar. “Good food doesn’t have to be sweet to taste good,” Stephanie said. “It just has to be good.” The company sells throughout Washington, Oregon and California through places like Whole Foods and other natural food stores. They also ship nationwide through Azure Standard. The key to their success, today and into the future, is doing things right. Whether that’s treating the soil or getting A2 herds, the Alexandre Family Farm is taking that step. The Alexandre Family Farm store is located at 7955 Bailey Road in Crescent City.

tier change. We had over 50 cases during the last week, not including the weekend, when we took on about 20 more. All we need to move to purple is 35 cases in a week. Purple Tier means a lot of business goes to outside status only, and many things would need to change in other venues as well. The new rules also require affected businesses to change their operation within 24 hours of the announcement.

We know this is a heavy lift, but we are definitely headed in the wrong direction, and it is prudent to take precautions wherever we can. For information about how to isolate or quarantine, we have links at our public health website. For information about the tiers and what is allowed or not, go to https://covid19. ca.gov/safer-economy/ Everyone stay safe and we hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

of people going to work sick with cold and flu symptoms, and many have turned positive for COVID, but sometimes days after they were first having symptoms. We cannot stress this enough; do not go to work or school if you are sick! It is the most fundamental rule, and something we have been talking about since the very first bulletin we posted, way back in February. If you are sick, stay home, and if there is a chance that it is COVID, stay home and keep yourself isolated until you get an answer about a test result. Get tested when you can and presume that you are positive unless a test shows otherwise, and act as if you are positive, which means stay home, and isolate yourself. That is absolutely the best way to slow the virus down, and to keep your friends and family safe. For most people, the isolation period is only 10 days (timed from the day your symptoms started) and if you get tested any time during that period, it will be enough to confirm having the disease.

Testing demand has risen quite a bit, but sites are still available. The Verily test site has moved to the cultural center, which is easier in bad weather, because for the protected drive-through at the front door. People should be aware that result reporting may take more than a few days in some cases and to not depend on results to assure that you are safe for travel or gatherings. By the time you get a result, you may have reached your destination and if you are positive for the virus you may have infected many people. Traveling itself is much riskier than it has been all summer, and holiday traveling is being discouraged at all levels. Furthermore, the state health department indicated modification to their gatherings guidance, to now state no more than 12 persons in a family gathering, and again, stressing the importance of wearing masks, conducting the gathering outdoors as much as possible and spreading out to create a safe distance during a meal. We also agree that gatherings in homes or among

friends are the main source, by far, of the recent cases, many of which have been linked to parties, but it is certainly not the only type of story. Friends just sharing space, thinking they are safe, have created quite a few cases recently. The other main source has been workplaces, especially those where lots of employees are working in a shared space. It is critical that people have the ability to wear masks indoors and space themselves from coworkers. Even schools are affected, as the state updated the mask guidance last week, and now even children are expected to wear masks in public places. We expect that the school guidelines will be modified to reflect this as well. Lastly, we think it would be wise to prepare to move to the Purple Tier (Tier 1) which is the most restrictive and will mean a lot of businesses will need to modify their workplaces quite a bit. We expect a formal posting on the state website, and by the time most Del Norters see this bulletin, it may be old news, but we know our numbers, and they mean a

Tuesday, Nov. 17 • At 1:40 a.m., a welfare check was requested on Pacific Avenue after the caller said his oxygen alarm was going off. • At 2:03 a.m., officers responded to the 800 block of Washington Boulevard to assist with an emergency room patient who was agitated. • At 2:21 a.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to Del Mar Road after a caller reported a prowler. • At 2:54 a.m., police responded to the 700 block of Highway 101 after a caller reported seeing a male and a female attempting to break into a trailer. • At 3:37 a.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to the railroad after a caller reported a woman was screaming.

Keeping everyone in the loop on COVID-19 Del Norte County Public Health Officer

Just to keep everyone in the loop, we continued to have high case numbers last week, and through the weekend. The disease movement has picked up quite dramatically for us, and the workload of reaching out to cases has increased as well. We have asked for state support for case investigation and contact tracing, and we anticipate that we will get some assistance within a few weeks. We thought it was important to let people know this, as we have long maintained all our case work for COVID with our own people, and were proud of the fact that our own Del Norte staff would be calling people when needed, but right now there is too much to do and the support from the state health staff is available. We also want to let people know what we are seeing locally, in terms of where we see cases and also give advice about what to do in a time of relative shortages. We have had a lot of reports

The big lie theory for the last 4 years

In Germany in the 1930s, there was what was called the “big lie.” The theory was if you said it often enough and loud enough, people would believe it. This is what has been frothing forth from 1600 Penn. Ave., AKA Black Lives Matter Avenue for the last four years concerning voter fraud. It is interesting to note that never has it even been even a minor issue. Now it is the issue. In the wording of Oliver Cromwell in 1653 to someone long forgotten: “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In

Thanks for applying mask recommendations This Thanksgiving, I would like to greatly thank the majority of our local stores and businesses who are conscientiously applying the Covid-19 masking recommendations. This shows you value all of us as customers. To those stores that limit which customers they value, you must be aware that Amazon appreciates the customers that you turn away. And so, Amazon thanks you. Gina Soltis Harbor

Crescent City/Redwoods KOA Holiday wins major awards during annual convention

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Kampgrounds of America, the world’s largest family of family-friendly, open-to-thepublic campgrounds, is pleased to announce that the Crescent City/ Redwoods KOA Holiday has earned the 2021 KOA President’s Award and KOA Founder’s Award. These prestigious awards

were presented Nov. 17 at KOA’s annual International Convention. The KOA Founder’s Award, named in honor of Dave Drum, who founded KOA on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana in 1962, is KOA’s highest service award. It is awarded exclusively to

those KOA campground owners and managers who attain world-class scores in both customer service and the KOA Quality Review. The KOA President’s Award is presented to those campgrounds meeting exceptional quality standards and who receive high customer

service scores from their camping guests. KOA surveys hundreds of thousands of campers each year regarding their KOA camping experience. “Our campground owners and their staffs work so hard to ensure each and every guest has a truly exceptional camping experience so

it’s a pleasure to recognize this work,” said KOA President and CEO Toby O’Rourke. “Our President’s and Founder’s Awards are driven by camper feedback and, especially this year, it really points to the work that’s been done to ensure each camper has the best outdoor experience. These

KOA owners have made the right investments in their campgrounds to make them the very best in North America.” KOA is celebrating its 58th anniversary in 2020. To find out more about this KOA, or any of the other 515 KOAs in the U.S. or Canada, go to www.KOA.com.

During the past a decade, the Yurok Tribe and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians have enjoyed a genuinely unique, reciprocal government-to-government relationship, despite the immense geographical

distance between the tribal nations. The two tribes, located at the far northern and southern ends of California, have forged a partnership on a wide variety of undertakings, ranging from

public health projects to cultural education programs and exchanges. When a major natural disaster hit the Yurok Reservation in 2020, San Manuel sent the Yurok Tribe funding to address the emergency. During the past

two decades, Yurok leaders joined San Manuel in advocating for California schools to teach factual, representative accounts of California Indian history and culture through the California Indian Cultural Awareness

Conference hosted by Cal State San Bernardino. The tribal governments also recently incorporated intertribal commerce into their longstanding, nation-to-nation relationship. As a result of a newly completed agreement, patrons of San Manuel Casino, Southern California’s most thrilling casino, are now served high-quality, sustainably produced ales from the Yurok Tribe’s Mad River Brewing Company — one of the first tribally owned breweries in the U.S. “We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to do business with one of the most successful tribes in the nation,” said Joseph L. James, the chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “Our unparalleled partnership is a prime example of how tribes can lift each other up in the 21st century. The Yurok Tribe and San Manuel Band of Mission Indians couldn’t have a closer relationship even though we are 1,000 miles apart. “Workable intertribal trade can be a powerful expression of our sovereignty and our right to determine our own destiny,” said San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Chairman Ken Ramirez “Tribe to tribe commerce is the future. The Yurok Tribe and San Manuel Band of Mission Indians are carving out possibilities and opportunities toward the restoration of economic resilience in our respective communities.” The Yurok Tribe, California’s largest tribal nation, resides in one of the most economically disadvantaged and rural parts of the state. Due to a number of factors, including historical trauma, loss of land and detrimental federal policies, the unemployment rate on the Yurok Reservation is greater than 30 percent. The median family income is $28,300, which is less than half of the national average. Unlike city and county govern-

ments, the Tribe does not collect taxes from reservation residents. Instead, the tribal government depends on a combination of grants and business revenue to sustain its social, environmental and healthcare programs. “That is why this business arrangement with San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is so important for the tribe. The proceeds generated from this partnership will fund essential services for the Yurok people,” explained Chairman James. “In addition to bolstering the tribe’s social safety net, participating in intertribal commerce is putting us back in a position to decide our own fate.” “Intertribal commerce is also consistent with the traditional cultures of both of our tribes. Since time immemorial, we maintained sophisticated trade routes that extended well beyond our respective aboriginal territories. Now, we are creating a modernized version of this traditional economic system to meet the needs of our citizens,” said Chairman Ramirez. “Before colonization, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the Yurok Tribe maintained complex economic structures that allowed for environmentally responsible uses of our lands and natural resources.” Prior to European contact, indigenous nations on the California coast constantly traded utilitarian and luxury items. Due in large part to these interconnected economies, every tribe in this region enjoyed an excellent standard of living until the so-called Gold Rush, when white settlers forcibly seized many tribal trade routes in an attempt to weaken indigenous resistance against state-sponsored genocide, which ripped apart tribal communities. Tribes in the Golden State are only just now beginning to recover from this tumultuous time

California tribes revise traditional pre-colonization trade system to produce new business opportunities, rebuild economies

CDFW awards $10.7M for habitat restoration projects The California Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced the selection of 27 projects that will receive funding for the restoration, enhancement and protection of anadromous salmonid habitat in California watersheds. The grants, which total $10.7 million, were awarded through CDFW’s Fisheries Restoration Grant Program. Established in 1981, FRGP has included funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund since 2000. The federal fund was established by Congress in 2000 to reverse the declines of Pacific salmon and steelhead throughout California, Oregon, Washington Idaho and Alaska. “The ongoing momentum to restore California’s habitat for these historic species hasn’t stopped as we face a global pandemic and devastating wildfires,” CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham said. “Awarding these projects highlights the resilience, passion and vison for salm-

on recovery by our state’s restoration community, for which we are grateful.” In response to the 2020 Fisheries Habitat Restoration Grant Solicitation, CDFW received 80 proposals requesting more than $40.6 million in funding. As part of the competitive grant program, proposals underwent a rigorous technical review by CDFW and NOAA scientists. The 27 approved projects will further the objectives of state and federal fisheries recovery plans, including removing barriers to fish migration, restoring riparian habitat, monitoring of listed populations, and creating a more resilient and sustainably managed water resources system (e.g., water supply, water quality and habitat) that can better withstand drought conditions. These projects further the goals of California’s Water Action Plan and CDFW’s State Wildlife Action Plan, as well as addressing limiting factors specified in state and federal recovery plans.

Third tests positive for virus on the Yurok Reservation The Yurok Office of Emergency Services has received confirmation of the third COVID-19 case on the Yurok Reservation. The case involved a resident on the Klamath side of the reservation. The individual is experiencing mild symptoms and will quarantine at home for the next 14 days. Yurok OES and Del Norte County health representatives are conducting a comprehensive con-

tact tracing investigation to minimize the potential for additional transmissions. The tribal and county team has already begun reaching out to the small number of people who spent time in close proximity to the community member during the past two weeks. The tribe is offering resources to these individuals to help them complete the required, two-week quarantine. To preserve the confidentiality of

personal health records, the Yurok Tribe will not disclose any further details at this time. “We are performing a thorough contact tracing investigation to prevent the spread of the illness,” said Serene Hayden, the Yurok Tribe’s incident commander. “With the recent increase in cases in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, all residents are strongly encouraged to remain consistent in employing all of the

personal safety measures, such as wearing a mask and practicing physical distancing while in public. Also, it is extremely important for everyone in this region to stay home and refrain from attending large gatherings during the upcoming holidays. If you feel unwell, please get tested. We are providing free COVID-19 tests multiple times per week in Weitchpec and Klamath.” During the month of

Foster children get educational help thanks to Crescent City Rotary Club For many foster children in the community, keeping up with educational demands is a challenge. Without the proper equipment, it can be close to impossible. That’s where the Crescent City Rotary Club is stepping in to help. Last week, the club provided a trio of Chromebooks, 90 headphones and 90 computer mouses for foster children to help them navigate and succeed in distance learning programs during the Covid-19 crisis. Working with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), the Rotary club was able to help more than 90 students during a difficult time. The Del Norte Unified School District and the county’s Health and Human Service Department also played key roles in the project. “Many foster parents have very low incomes and the purchase of educational supplies will do much to provide needed distance learning support,” said John Menaugh, the club’s president. Statewide, school districts are facing a 15 percent reduction in op-

The Rotary gifts help fill the gap that many foster children struggle to overcome. The 90 computer

mouses will help younger children navigate the computer screen, while the headphones will allow students to better concentrate is busy, often noisy households. “Our club has a long

history of helping our community’s young people,” Menaugh said. “It also has worked with CASA on several projects. Helping foster children on their educational journey seemed a natural fit.”

November, the rate of COVID-19 infections spiked significantly in Humboldt and in Del Norte counties. Humboldt saw its highest number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic. Both counties are at Tier 2 on the community risk level chart and are trending toward Tier 1, which is the most restrictive stage. There has been a total of three COVID-19 cases on the Yurok Reservation. Reservation residents are asked to continue practicing all of the recommended personal safety strategies, such as wearing a mask when outside of the home and only travelling for essential purposes. A disproportionate quantity of elders and individuals with preexisting medical conditions reside on tribal lands. These safety measures offer the most effective means of keeping them and the whole community safe. Reservation residents can find testing information at Yurokoes.org. The test is free and open to all. For information about testing in Humboldt County, visit https:// humboldtgov.org/2788/ Eureka. If you live in Del Norte County and would like to get tested, visit https://www.covid19. dnco.org/testing

The Yurok Office of Emergency Services advises residents to follow all personal safety recommendations: • Maintain a minimum of six feet of personal space from individuals outside of the household • Always wear a face covering outside of the home (Wash reusable mask frequently, only use single-use masks once) • Do not attend gatherings large or small, including visiting extended family and friends • Avoid all contact with anyone exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms • Disinfect common touch points in the home • Practice cough and sneeze etiquette (cover your sneezes and coughs with your arm. Wash hands immediately after cough or sneeze for additional protection) • Perform frequent handwashing – Wash hands every two hours for 20-30 seconds with water and soap • If you feel ill, please get tested and self-isolate • Reminder: If you feel slightly unwell and have one or more of the common symptoms of COVID-19, it is advised to stay home from work Yurok citizens in need of assistance are encouraged to call the Yurok Tribe’s COVID-19 hotline at 1-888-225-8952.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

GIFT OF CHRISTMAS COOKIES IS MORE CURSE THAN BLESSING DEAR ABBY: Every year for the last 15 years or so, my husband’s sister has sent us a huge box of homemade cookies for Christmas. My husband is from a large family, and she does this for each family. I know it involves a great deal of time and effort on her part, and she sends them via priority mail, which means an additional expense. The problem is, we don’t eat cookies. Weight is a concern for both of us, and I avoid sugar or sugar products as I don’t believe they are healthy. Before we retired, we took the cookies to work to get rid of them or they were thrown out. Many years ago, I asked my mother-in-law what to do so as to not cause hard feelings. She

two off to make progress quicker. “That has allowed us to move forward on the geotechnical studies,” McGuire said. “CalTrans is on time for their geotechnical studies.” Huffman joined the meeting briefly and guaranteed the project would get done. “This is not something we like to do, not something we hope to do,” Huffman said. “It’s something we have to do, and we will do. I guarantee it.” Huffman said the impacted groups working together has made progress possible. “Local elected officials, tribes, conservationists, landowners, public agencies — this doesn’t happen all the time,” he said. “We need to do it right, and we know we’re working in very sensitive areas. I can tell you, you will always have 100 percent support from myself and my staff.” Wood said he is also pleased with the progress being made. “It is such an important project, a lifeline for this city to the rest of the world essentially,” Wood said. “It needs to be done right,

advised, “Don’t say anything; she needs something to keep her busy.” I then asked a brother-inlaw how he handled the unwanted cookies. He said, “Throw them away or give them away, but DON’T TELL HER.” My SIL suffers from mild depression, and everyone tiptoes lightly around the issue to avoid upsetting her. I feel bad that she has spent time and money on these unwanted cookies all these years. No one on that side of the family has ever said anything, and perhaps, many of them enjoy the

but it needs to be done as quickly as we can. I would like to see it be done tomorrow, but the complexity of this project is astounding.” CalTrans District 1 Director Matthew Brady said from his perspective there are two ongoing projects related to Last Chance Grade. The first is to keep the existing stretch of Highway 101 open while working to find a permanent, inland solution. “The people of Del Norte and the surrounding region have waited a long time to see a long-term solution at Last Chance Grade,” Brady said. Brady said CalTrans recently secured $16 million in funding to shore up the existing roadway. He said work at the site will take up to a year and will require nightly closures for at least a week. When that will happen has not been decided. “We are on schedule, but we know there is a lot of work in front of us,” Brady said. “We are looking at all, and I want to emphasize all, of the ways to reduce the scheduled time while complying with environmental laws and regulations.” Del Norte County Supervisor Bob Berkowitz said people who live in his county must see a solution

cookies. Evidently even a carefully worded “thank you, but we can’t consume them” note would cause family problems. I tried not sending an acknowledgment; the cookies kept coming. What’s your suggestion? -- SWEET PROBLEM IN CONNECTICUT DEAR SWEET PROBLEM: I suggest you keep things the way they are. Your sister-in-law needs something to occupy her mind and give her a sense of purpose during a time of year when people can become depressed. Get creative. Those cookies might be appreciated by a church group, a residence for seniors or even holiday gifts for your neighbors if you repackage them. *** DEAR ABBY: My 22-year-old daughter asked if her 23-yearold best friend could stay with us for six months. Her friend’s

at Last Chance Grade. He said anything else would be catastrophic. “If and when this road fails, it’s estimated it would be a 320-mile detour going from Crescent City to Eureka,” Berkowitz said. “So, this brings us to today, some far-sighted legislators have fought long and hard to get us to this point. Today, we take more steps on a journey to get a replacement for Last Chance Grade.” Crescent City Mayor Blake Inscore said the road is vital for his city. “We believe we will see this done, we have to see this done,” Inscore said. “Students need this road to go to school, people need this road to go to work. We’ve got to stay the course, and we’ve got to work together. You can’t say enough about what CalTrans has done. They’re committed that no matter what, this road will stay open.” Jaime Matteoli, an engineer with CalTrans, tried to explain the current problem and the challenges in finding a permanent solution. He said the current threemile stretch overseeing the ocean has four spots where there are steady landslides under the road. CalTrans is doing everything it can to

parents had to return to Europe to finish wrapping up some things and then would return for their citizenship appointments, so we agreed to the arrangement. Rentfree, because we are nice. My daughter got a school offer in Houston and moved there in May. Now it’s just her best friend and us at the house. Well, COVID-19 happened, and the parents are banned from entering the U.S. They have asked us if she can stay until the ban is lifted, which who knows when this will happen. We agreed, but now it’s November. I miss my personal space, and I need her to move out. I feel she has overstayed. But I don’t know how to approach her or her family and say this arrangement will end soon. How should I handle this? -- CROWDED IN THE SOUTH

stop the slides. Moving ahead with a new project, he said there are three major challenges: 1 – Environmental sensitivity and complexity in the area 2 – Maintaining partnerships with local shareholders 3 – Understanding the geology. Most of the work to date has been related to the geology. He explained CalTrans has bored down 150 feet in many locations to get an idea of what is under the ground, measuring movement and monitoring groundwater. Moving forward, he said there are three major risks, the biggest being potential environmental litigation. A lawsuit could stop the project for years, even if the suit were not successful. Matteoli said work at Last Chance Grade has escalated quickly since 2015, moving from study groups to actual work on the ground in the search for a new route. Dina Potter, another engineer working on the project, said moving forward there is still a lot to do. In 2021, experts will analyze the geotechnical data and try to narrow the final route to no more than 400 acres. By narrowing the

DEAR CROWDED: You have been more than generous to your daughter’s best friend, and I hope your generosity has been appreciated not only by her but also her parents. She is an adult, and she needs to be told the arrangement she had with you is coming to an end.

The schedule moving forward shows environmental clearance by 2026 with four years then set aside to get permits, purchase the needed land and design the road. Construction would then start in 2031. “Myself and the entire

team feel your sense of urgency,” Potter said. “We are committed to accelerating our work any way we can.” McGuire echoed that sentiment. “There is a constant push to be able to cut time off by the 2026 date for the environmental deadline,” he said. “This project is on time and on budget.”

Public Notices ding 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’s 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 916939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-10153. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-10153 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
