Plan to vaccinate community taking shape

By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

While COVID-19 has been relatively calm in Del Norte County, that doesn’t mean work around it is slowing down.

On Tuesday, Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, the county public health authority, told the board of supervisors work is ongoing in an effort to vaccinate as many people as possible. And the work is not easy.

Rehwaldt told supervisors his small staff is not able to keep up

with the work, so he recently called for volunteers with medical experience to help.

“We have some vaccine now. We don’t have a lot,” he said. “We’re still working on the Phase 1A list.

We’re talking to pharmacies and dental offices this week. We’ve had some interest since we put out a bulletin this week for volunteers.”

Rehwaldt said the vaccines being used – both Pfizer and Moderna – are unusual when compared to most vaccines used in the country.

“This has never been attempt-

ed, something like this. It’s the first time for the entire nation,” Rehwaldt said. “It’s a complicated vaccine. They are finicky, they have short time windows when you can use them. They have a very short window that they can be refrigerated, they have to be kept at ultra-cold temperatures. Plus, it’s a mass vaccination of the majority of the entire country, that’s the goal.

“I don’t think anyone can point to a vaccination effort like this in the last 100 years. It’s a big, big project. Locally, we’re going to

need some help from volunteers.

We’re laying the groundwork for all of that as we speak. It’s been a busy few weeks and it’s going to be a busy couple of months.”

Rehwaldt said the local health authority is required to follow guidelines set by the state. That means front-line health workers and some emergency responders get the first vaccines. Next in line are people over age 75 with underlying medical conditions, teachers and school staff. He said it will be some time before the average person

can expect to have vaccinations available.

“Getting our seniors, our most vulnerable people vaccinated as quickly as we can accomplish has a huge payoff,” Rehwaldt said. “It takes the pressure off our system, it takes the pressure off the people who are most vulnerable. It’s a win, win. After we get through the phase 1A status, we are going to work on that.”

New leaders step up in Del Norte County Crescent

Starkey brings public safety and community mindsets to board City man

sentenced to 8 years for lewd act on child

ZACK DEMARS The Triplicate

Valerie Starkey knew she wanted to go into law enforcement when she was just 12 years old.

Sitting in the California Highway Patrol office where her father worked, the sound of a teletype machine printing a rap sheet grabbed her attention and set her on a path to public service.

Within a few years, she’d become a police clerk, preparing rap sheets herself for the probation department. There was no looking back.

“It was so thrilling to me,” Starkey said. “That was what I wanted to do, I loved to investigate things.”

Now retired after a 30-year career as a parole officer, Starkey’s taking on a new public service role representing District 2 on the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors.

She hopes to couple her experience growing up locally and her time in law enforcement to serve the county.

After a career of serving others, Valerie Starkey plans to continue her service as a member of the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors. She was sworn into her seat representing District 2 on Jan. 4.

Short brings career in community to Del Norte supervisors ZACK DEMARS The Triplicate

Del Norte County is home for Darrin Short.

Born in Crescent City, Short moved away for a few years to go to college. But after the time away, he knew he wanted to return to where he had family and friends.

“When I left to go to college, I was like ‘break off that rearview mirror because I’m not coming back here at all,’” Short said. “It was a youth-driven want to leave home, but I realized that we live in a beautiful, beautiful area and we wanted to come back.”

Short’s career path isn’t uncommon in Del Norte County: He worked a few years as a heavy equipment operator at Miller Redwood, until he got laid off.

After that, he spent his career at the Pelican Bay State Prison, rising to the rank of captain before retiring a year and a half ago.

That path laid the foundation for much of how Short hopes to serve Please see SHORT, Page A7

Darrin Short has lived the traditional Del Norte community life, starting as a heavy equipment operator before moving over to Pelican Bay State Prison. He hopes to bring more job opportunities to the county.

A Crescent City man will spend the next eight years behind bars after being convicted of committing a lewd act upon a child.

Jody Allen Nole, 50, received the sentence last week. He was also fined $370.

According to previous media reports, Nole was one of four people arrested In January and charged related to allegations of continued sexual assault of a child.

The court complaint said the incidents occurred in Del Norte and Humboldt counties between Jan. 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2017. The child was born in 2006, the complaint says.

When he was charged in January 2020, Nole was already a prisoner at Pelican Bay State Prison on different charges with a possible parole date of March 2021.

His wife, Katlin Janice Marie Nole was also arrested along with Kathleen Mary Fuson. Edward Bert Steele was arrested several weeks later after he was found sleeping in his car.

At the time of their arrest, Katlin Nole and Fuson were employees with Del Norte Unified School District. Superintendent Jeff Harris said the allegations did not involve a child in the district and none of the allegations occurred on school property.

The two women were immediately placed on administrative leave and were later fired from their positions in the school district.

At the time of their arrests, all four suspects were charged with multiple felony counts related to the continuous sexual assault of a child.

Court records show only Jody Nole has been convicted.

Calls to the Del Norte County District Attorney’s Office were not returned by press time.

Supervisors ask for greater say in local COVID restrictions

By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

With a unanimous vote, the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution asking the state of California to give the county a greater say in provisions set to control COVID-19.

Board Chair Chris Howard presented the Healthy Communities Resolution to the board, saying the state’s one-size-fits-all approach is not working in Del Norte County.

“Many of our rural counties have expressed strong interest that they know what to do best for their com-

INDEX Crossword................................................A5 Crossword Answers..................................A10 Classifieds................................................A8

munities as it relates to building a safer community around COVID,” Howard explained. “This county in particular talks very highly of getting away from a one-size-fitsall approach that generally we have the short end of the stick when it comes to the state of California. I don’t think I have to tell many of you under Gov. Newsom’s orders as it relates to the blueprint and the rollout and impacts of some of our businesses or lost businesses that Del Norte County probably could have responded a little bit better than Gov. Newsom knowing that here locally we have a better con-

nection to our community.”

The resolution lays out issues seen in Del Norte County since the lockdowns began, primarily increased crime, increased need for mental health services and devastation to local businesses.

Supervisor Darrin Short said the county needs to have a greater say in what steps are taken to control COVID-19 in the community.

“I think it’s a long overdue resolution. Our businesses are certainly suffering,” Short said. “I see Humboldt County has opened to a degree that’s higher than ours. I think the only hard ‘no’ for Hum-

boldt County is bars, and every other restaurant and every other mom and pop can open at 25 or 50 percent capacity for indoor services.

The one-size-fits-all does hurt our county and we do need to send that message.”

Supervisor Valerie Starkey said she had a hard time deciding how to vote because she doesn’t want anyone to think COVID-19 is not serious.

“I really went back and forth on this resolution,” Starkey said.

“What I really hope we relay here is we are not signaling the lack of importance to continue to wear

our masks, to continue to social distance, to continue to listen to the scientists and the medical professionals. What I really concluded when reading this is we want a seat at the table. We want to be there when the decisions are made with regard to how we are going to handle certain situations in our community because we have an understanding of what our community needs.”

Supervisor Gerry Hemmingsen made a motion to approve the resolution with Short seconding it.

Before the vote, Howard, again,

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

OBITUARIES Daroline Dale Nelson Presler Dec. 9, 1930 – Dec. 18, 2020

Daroline Dale Nelson was born the second of five children to Darrow Dale Nelson and Ada Mae Humble Nelson on December 9, 1930 in Pennington County, South Dakota. Her early years were spent in Clough, Meade County and later they moved to Rapid City. In the early forties, the Nelson family, the Stacey family, the Ridenour family, they Boyer family and the Nunnemaker family migrated to Humboldt County, California settling in Rio Dell, where most of the men found employment with the Pacific Lumber Company in the mill and woods operations.

Mom attended grade school in Rio Dell and her

freshman year at Fortuna High School. The Nelsons made one more major move to Smith River, California and never left Del Norte County again. Mom attended Del Norte County High School her sophomore, junior, and senior years where she was active as a cheer leader and sang in the Glee Club. She many lifelong friends there and graduated in the class of 1949. Sometime during this time her older brother Bob introduced her to Jim Presler at a dance at the Grange Hall in Harbor, Oregon. They were married August 20, 1950 and had five children.

Mom was a stay-at-home mother and felt her obligations were to her husband and her children. With cooking, cleaning, laundry, discipline, and other tasks, she had more than a fulltime job at home. Home was a safe haven from the many forces that seem to tear families apart these days.

Sleepovers with cousins and family friends were the norm. During this time, Mom and Dad began foster parenting.

After her family was near-

ly raised, Mom began the second phase of her working career. She became a monitor at the Fort Dick Academy. This job was comparable to being a teacher’s assistant. She loved this job, the people she worked with and the students. She held this job until Dad passed away.

At the age of 65, Mom began her third and final phase of her working career. She became a greeter Walmart and remained in that position until retiring at the age of seventy-five. She loved the interaction of welcoming customers, wiping wet carts for shoppers, and giving smiley face stickers to the little ones.

After she retired, Mom was able to make occasional road trips to Portland and Spokane to see her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

She was able to travel to Europe with daughter Jan and her son-in-law Dan. In 2017, she went on an Alaskan cruise with most of her children and their spouses. In July 0f 2018, every surviving member of the extended Presler clan gathered for a family reunion, 53 three

people in all, Mom could not have been much happier and the love for her family showed.

As a child in South Dakota, Mom accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. In about 1956 or so, Dad made the same decision, and together, they decided to give their lives to the Lord by following the Biblical mandate in the third book of John by being born again, not a physical birth, but a new spiritual beginning. Through thick and thin, good and bad, happiness and sadness, gains and losses, good health and bad, they held the course, never looking back. What better example and legacy could a couple provided for their family?

Despite having both her hips replaced in her eighties, Mom often mentioned how thankful she was that she never needed to take medications until the age of 86. It was at this time that cancer began making its ugly appearance. Each new symptom was treated separately, and it wasn’t until September of 2020 that she learned that she had stage IV cancer and that there was no hope for

recovery. The treating doctor told her she had about six months to live. In typical fashion Mom stated that God was in control and faced the future with calmness and serenity. Through much of July and August, Mom was much sicker than she let her children know. In His mercy, God did not allow Mom to have an unbearable time, and just three months after her diagnosis and nine days after her ninetieth birthday, she passed into the arms of Jesus at her own home. During her last weeks, she was provided around the clock care by her three daughters who were with her when she passed.

Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Darrow and Ada Nelson, her husband Jim Presler, her brother Robert Nelson, the first Del Norte County boy to be killed in Korea, her brother Ray (Buckshot or Bucky) Nelson, her sister Alta Leishman, and her two grandsons Jamey Presler and Steven Beaumont.

She is survived by her sister Opal Brown, sons Robert Presler (Donna), Larry Presler (Shelly), daughters

Jan Beaumont (Dan), Bonnie Carrell (Larry), Kathy Dresback (Mark), foster son Ben DeMaris, foster daughter Sharon Hale, 14 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family, and many friends from the community and the church.

The family wants to thank everyone who sent greeting cards, birthday and Christmas cards, made phone calls, and stopped by to visit Mom in her last days. She looked forward to receiving her mail and was visibly elated with all the attention. You made the final days of a very sick lady and a lot more bearable.

We are also grateful to have been able to keep her home during her final days and not have her in a hospital, with limited visiting privileges, during these days of COVID. Interment was provided by Wier’s Mortuary Chapel in the Del Norte County Veteran’s Cemetery. A memorial service will be held in the gymnasium at Smith River Baptist Church on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at 3:00 pm.

Arrangements are under the direction of Wier’s Mortuary Chapel.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Sutter Coast RNs vote to unionize In a landslide vote this week, registered nurses at Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City are bringing union representation to the state’s northwest coast after voting by 85 percent to join the California Nurses Association.

“We are thrilled to be joining our 8,000 Sutter RN colleagues to bring a unified voice for advocating for safe patient care for our patients here in Crescent City, as well as throughout the Sutter system, which is even more critical in the midst of this deadly pandemic,” said Sutter Coast RN Niki Pope.

In a mail ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, the RNs voted 70 to 12 for the union, an 85 percent victory margin. CNA will represent about 100 RNs at the facility.

The vote followed months of organizing among the nurses seeking to ensure safer staffing and a collective voice in patient care conditions, as well as other strong health and safety protections for nurses and patients, including workplace violence protections and proper infectious disease controls.

“As nurses, having proper staffing for RNs and support staff, better training and education and high standards of care and safety are our priorities. With CNA, we can make sure that decisions are based on what’s best for our patients, not the bottom line,” said Sutter Coast RN Brea Buchanan.

Like other areas of the state, California’s north coast has experienced an increasingly serious surge in the Covid-19 pandemic. Nurses say Sutter Coast is not dedicating the resources to make sure there are enough negative pressure rooms or that they are working properly.

“As a union, we can push for safer policies and accountability around workplace violence to better protect our staff and community,” said Anna Holmes,

RN. “Our collective strength means we can enforce California’s workplace violence prevention regulations, which CNA helped pass in 2017, and increase staffing, training and education for all staff.”

CNA President Zenei Cortez, RN, offered the union’s welcome to the Sutter Coast RNs and thanked them “for your dedication to strengthening safety standards for your patients and workplace conditions for your co-workers, especially as you—along with nurses across the state and nation—face the danger of Covid-19. Congratulations, we’re thrilled to welcome you to the CNA family.”

Sutter Coast was one of the last remaining non-union facilities in the large Sutter Health system and serves patients from both Northern California and the bordering Southern Oregon coast.

CNA, the largest RN union in California, now represents RNs at 15 Sutter hospitals.

The Sutter Coast vote follows a vote just two weeks ago by RNs at Sutter Center for Psychiatry Hospital in Sacramento, who voted by a similar margin to join CNA. Including the 8,000 Sutter RNs, CNA represents 100,000 RNs and other health care workers in California alone, among the 170,000 members of NNU. The Sutter Coast RNs will next elect members to prepare for negotiations with management for their first collective bargaining contract, highlighting improvements for their patients, staff and the community.

“At Sutter Coast, our patients are our neighbors, our family and our friends.

We have the responsibility to care for them as such,” said Sutter Coast RN Blakely Winner. “I’m excited to join CNA to strengthen the collective voice of the nurses.

I voted yes to advocate for improved patient care and a safe working environment for my colleagues.”

Cal-Ore Life Flight flight nurses prepare to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to first responded in Del Norte County. Firefighters and police officers were able to get the vaccine starting Jan. 4.

First responders begin receiving COVID-19 vaccine Local government first responders in Del Norte County had their first opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine Jan. 4. Firefighters from Crescent City Fire & Rescue, Gasquet Volunteer Fire Department and Crescent City Police Department who opted to take the vaccine received their first vaccination of the two-shot series Monday evening.

“Our local volunteer firefighters and police officers are often the first ones on scene of emergency situations where members of our community may be ill or having a medical emergency,” Fire Chief Bill Gillespie said.

The opportunity to receive the vaccination was made possible through the coordination and assistance of Del Norte County Public Health.

Each time vaccinations are given, public health must obtain the vaccine doses, process screening information from each recipient and make sure the vaccination records are entered into the California Immunization Registry.

Vaccine recipients must also be observed following their shot to watch for any reaction to the vaccine.

Cal-Ore Life Flight assisted by providing flight nurses who administered the vaccine, as well as an advanced Life Support ambulance to be on standby to monitor for any adverse or allergic reactions; there were none. Most who received the vaccination reported a sore shoulder and a few had mild fatigue the following day, but no other issues were noted.

Gillespie was glad that the COVID-19 vaccine is being offered to local first responders.

“Having the opportunity for our firefighters and police officers who wanted to receive the COVID-19 vaccine helps us better serve our community by helping keep our people healthy,” he said.

The community is reminded to continue to use your mask, practice social distancing, sanitize surfaces and spaces and wash your hands regularly.

Guest column Volunteers needed to assist with COVID vaccines

By Dr. Warren Rehwaldt With the new year, we want to bring some news about COVID. This is the first bulletin of 2021. We had all hoped that we would never need to post a bulletin for this year, but we clearly need to keep everyone updated.

The main topic is vaccination, as we had mentioned last time. We have been using our first allotments to keep working on the suggested groups that should be prioritized, as determined by the CDC and the state health department. We have given first shots to hospital staff, ambulance employees, skilled nursing staff and patients and some firefighters, as they are often first to arrive for medical emergencies.

We also have seen vaccinations at some medical offices. Our next focus will be home care workers, more medical offices and more seniors. We have used over half of our first allocations (about 340 doses), and by the end of this week will have used

nearly all that we have on hand today. That will mean, at that point, about 600 doses of vaccine will have been given. For perspective that is half again as many doses of flu vaccine that we gave in October, which was the busiest flu shot season that we have seen in years.

We could not do this without help. We have three dedicated and extremely hard-working public health nurses, but they cannot possibly do these themselves. The hospitals and clinics have been stepping in to do their own vaccinations as have other qualified groups and we know that they will continue to vaccinate as time goes on, but we will also need volunteers.

This is a community wide project and we cannot possibly get everything done that needs to be done without community help. If you are working in the medical field and can give vaccinations, we need you. Even if you are an office staff worker, we need you. A big part of

this job is signing people up, and directing them to the right place and time, and entering their shot data to the network that will help us get a second shot for them. We will accept anyone with the qualifications, even retirees, if they have the experience and licensure that is required.

We have created an online application site for anyone to use, who has an interest in this, and you can always give our office a call as well. The link is posted below.

We want to thank those who have already offered, but we know that this is a several months long project, and we don’t want to burn out anyone who has the motivation to help us. We hope to get enough volunteers that we can ask people to contribute only one or two times a week. In the end, we think that at least half the population of Del Norte County will need to be vaccinated. We are pretty certain that it will happen at the prison, but even subtracting staff and inmates, we will need to find a way, or

Wood responds to budget propoal Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom introduced his budget for 2021-22 and Assemblymember Jim Wood, who represents Del Norte County, shared his thoughts on the budget.

“The 2021-22 budget year will be very challenging.

The tragic loss of lives and the economic harm that the COVID-19 pandemic has done to Californians and its effect on the state’s economy have been devastating, and to bring things back to the way they were, and address the inadequacies that have long existed even before the pandemic, makes this year especially difficult,” Wood said.

“As a state, we must carefully decide priorities with the goal of creating a cascading beneficial effect and, by that, I mean whatever we choose to address first must improve something else. To me, addressing the pandemic is paramount. Preventing spread and speeding up distribution and administration of the vaccine will help save lives, safely reopen schools and businesses and put people back to work. Helping people who are hurting financially can help us all get to a better place and allow our local business owners a chance to

rebuild and provide us with the services we need and that we have enjoyed.”

Wood applauded the governor’s proposal to give $600 to low-income Californians early this year.

“The $600 stimulus payments for 4 million lower income Californians and providing small business grants and fee waivers is a start, but we will still press the federal government for more financial support for Californians, for businesses and for our local governments, especially those with smaller populations such as the rural areas I represent.” Wood said. “We do not need to lose any of our first responders or public health staff. I support the extension of the eviction moratorium, which currently expires at the end of this month, and for assistance to smaller-scale landlords.”

In addition to responding to COVID, recovering and preparing for wildfires should also be a priority, Wood said.

“We are still reeling from years of wildfires. People are trying to rebuild their lives and homes, and homeowner insurance cancellations continue,” he said. “We need more resources to fund prevention efforts in

our high-risk areas. The $1 billion in this budget for wildfire resiliency and emergency response to fund more personnel and equipment is essential, and I am pleased that my calls for early action before the start of the next fire season have been heard.

My efforts to provide funding to help people harden their homes and to increase prescribed fires continues and I am thankful the governor has replaced the funding for home hardening that was stripped from last year’s budget. This $25 million will be leveraged with federal funds and will provide $100 million to help low- and middle-income property owners harden their homes. This is, however, just a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed and I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure we provide more resources for vulnerable communities. In 2018, the governor approved my budget request for $200 million annually, for five years beginning in 2019, for wildfire prevention and because we lost that funding last year, we asked for an extension and this budget extends that funding for another five years.”

Wood, who serves as

chair of the Assembly Health Committee, said healthcare must remain a priority in California even after the pandemic passes.

“As chair of the Assembly Health Committee, health care has always been one of my priorities and I will continue my efforts to make health care more accessible and affordable,” he said.

“This fall, I held several informational hearings on health care including affordability, cost containment and health information exchanges. Expansion of care cannot happen without addressing affordability. The governor’s proposal to create an Office of Health Care Affordability is critical, as is the need to continue our work compiling the all-payer claims database, which is already underway.

“Another goal this year will be to carry legislation to develop an effective health information exchange to ensure that complete health records are portable and belong to the patient, not any one health care office or system.

HIE will improve our public health response, empower patients, increase quality and reduce costs no matter where they live or which provider they choose.”

Who actually calls the shots on the Colorado River?

By Dave Marston If there’s a dominant force in the Colorado River Basin these days, it’s the Walton Family Foundation, flush with close to $5 billion to give away.

Run by the heirs of Walmart founder Sam Walton, the foundation donates $25 million a year to nonprofits concerned about the Colorado River. It’s clear the foundation cares deeply about the river in this time of excruciating drought, and some of its money goes to river restoration or more efficient irrigation.

Yet its main interest is

promoting “demand management,” the water marketing scheme that seeks to add 500,000 acre-feet of water to declining Lake Powell by paying rural farmers to temporarily stop irrigating.

In November 2020, that focused involvement paid off.

The Colorado Conservation Water Board boosted demand management into a “step two work plan,” moving the concept closer toward policy in the state, which leads the Upper Basin states of New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah in drought-management planning.

But is this approach, which verges on turning water into

Healy named to dean’s list Austin Healy, from Crescent City, was recently named to the dean’s list at MidAmerican Nazarene University.

Healy was one of 357 students who qualified for the honor roll at the university.

All students in traditional programs carrying 12 semester hours or more with a term GPA from 3.2 to 4.0 may qualify for one of the academic honors. Students

making the dean’s list have GPAs ranging from 3.5 to 3.99.

MidAmerica Nazarene University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university of more than 1,870 students.

Offering 40 plus traditional undergraduate majors, the university is also known for its accelerated professional and graduate programs. The campus is located on 105 acres in Olathe, Kansas.

a commodity, good for the Colorado River? And was the public debate sufficient for policy about a water source that’s vital to 40 million people?

Without doubt, the foundation has supported the region’s nonprofits. During the last four years, over 60 Colorado River philanthropic organizations received between $5,000 and $2.9 million each, with seven organizations including the Environmental Defense Fund, The Nature Conservancy and Western Resource Advocates each receiving $1 million or more in 2019 alone. A good share of the Walton Foundation’s $25 million in annual donations also went toward testing demand management on numerous creeks and tributaries in the Upper Basin states of Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.

The Walton Foundation also paid EDF millions to carry out crucial aspects of a

$29 million pilot program for demand management in the Lower Basin states of Nevada, California and Arizona.

Then, there’s the Walton Foundation funding media to do stories about the Colorado River. What’s troubling is that some of the stories produced omit the Walton Foundation’s role in advocating for demand management.

Because the foundation’s reach is so extensive, few of its critics are willing to speak publicly. They charge that the Walton Family Foundation doesn’t just have a seat at the table, it sets the table’s agenda. Lately though, some “water buffaloes” seem skittish about a policy that leads to water speculation, which raises the question: Are the critics of demand management gaining traction?

Dan Beard, former chief of the Bureau of Reclamation under President Clinton, hopes so.

“They (Walton Family

Foundation) think they’ve found the solution,” he said “The way they’ve done that is to get all the nonprofits on their side. I think that’s a horrible result, especially for the environmental community. We need to sow the seeds of intellectual curiosity. If you’ve come to a conclusion and you don’t deviate from that, you’re nothing more than an intellectual dictator.”

Then, there’s the impact of Walton Foundation money on media nonprofits.

Brent Gardner-Smith runs Aspen Journalism, a nonprofit statewide news organization that has received $100,000 annually for six years from the Walton Foundation. Public radio station KUNC has received three years of similar funding for its “water desk.”

In May 2020, the two nonprofits collaborated in a story exploring the investment group Water Asset Management, speculating

that it sought to “buy and dry” agricultural water, leaving behind barren dust bowls. What was not reported, that only municipalities can “buy and dry” under Colorado’s already tough water anti-speculation laws.

The big omission was that a Walton-funded nonprofit, the Nature Conservancy – had an ongoing demand management study – exactly where WAM was buying land.

Colorado College journalism instructor Corey Hutchins was surprised to hear the size of some of the funding KUNC and Aspen Journalism each receiving $100,000 apiece: “That sounds like a big Colorado water story in itself,” he said.

“You might also worry about self-censorship.”

Master of disguise is new genus and species of bark beetle

By Steve Lundeberg A resemblance to moss, lichens and fungi made for fantastic cover by a new genus and species of cylindrical bark beetle described by an Oregon State University College of Science researcher.

“If you can’t beat your enemies or run away, then hide, and that is what this Cretaceous beetle is doing,” said OSU’s George Poinar Jr. “He is hiding under a spectacular camouflage of his own making, allowing him to blend into a mossy background.”

Poinar, an international expert in using plant and animal life forms preserved in amber to learn more about the biology and ecology of the distant past, and collaborator Fernando Vega of the U.S. Department of Agriculture named the male specimen Stegastochlidus saraemcheana.

They placed the specimen, found in 100-million-yearold Burmese amber, in the

subfamily Colydiinae in the family Zopheridae.

“The beetle must have spent its life among moss, lichens and fungi, either attached to tree trunks or on the forest floor,” Poinar said. “A close association with fungi is indicated by strands of fungal spores, known as conidia, attached to the beetle’s cuticle, or outer covering.”

Cylindrical bark beetles are known for their slender shape and for laying eggs under the bark of trees. The 4.2-millimeter-long beetle described by Poinar blended in with its surroundings thanks to more than 100 spike-like structures, or protuberances, on its back and head.

Its antennae have 10 segments, with the terminal segment clublike, and each of its tarsi – the part of the legs farthest from the body – has four sections.

“A few parasitic mites were attached to him by their

The beetle’s narrow body would allow it to enter tight places, including the galleries – vertical structures beetles build in wood for feeding and reproduction – of other beetles.

“Its pointed mouth parts indicate that S. saraemcheana was a carnivore that

could have preyed on the life stages of various other invertebrates,” he said.

“This discovery represents a new variation of form and structure within this family of beetles, and finding fungi attached to the body of the fossil beetle provides important information on the possible habitats, likely tropical and moist, visited by Cretaceous cylindrical bark beetles.”

County, but moved to Sonoma County after high school.

She retired from her public safety career in 2015 and returned to the area to be closer to family members.

“I’m going to draw a lot on my experiences as a probation officer,” Starkey said, adding that officers investigating crimes have to consider evidence from every possible angle. “I’m going to talk to the proponents of (an issue), the opponents of it, then research with the people who have done this before, and then look at the law and apply the ordinances and what not.”

Starkey has a number of issues she wants to see the county tackle.

“I have a list,” she said.

Among them, Starkey hopes to see youth in the community have options that may not include a four-year college.

“That’s what I think we need to make sure, especial-

his home county representing District 1 on the Board of Supervisors.

On one hand, he’s seen the economic challenges that area residents face, with family-wage jobs limited to a few sectors of industry.

“The mills shutting down, and seeing a big glut of locals moving to the prison – just like I did – it was kind of an eye-opener,” Short said.

“And now, seeing, ‘hey what would be my options if I didn’t go to the prison?’ Well there’s not a lot of them that would sustain you in a way that makes you able to raise a family.”

His time at the prison also gave him an inside look at the realities of local law enforcement.

He feels sheriff’s deputies in the county are underpaid, which results in them leaving for higher-paying jobs after getting a few years of experience.

“They’re underpaid to a point where we kind of have kind of a farm team,” Short said. “That results in us having law enforcement officers with very little experience, and that is a disservice to the people of the county as well.”

ly in small communities, that we expose our youth to something that sparks their interest, and that they pursue it,” Starkey said. “[We] want them to be able to go and do that, but [we] want them to come back.”

Living-wage jobs in a variety of industries, as well as organizations, events and venues to give young people a chance to meet each other could make the community a more enticing place for youth to return to, Starkey said.

And it’s not just youth that Starkey wants to pay attention to.

While on the board of supervisors, she hopes to use her public safety experience to make the community as safe as it was when she was growing up in it, especially for older residents who might be used to leaving their doors unlocked, for example.

“The people of this community need to realize that we’re not living in the 80s.

We’re here now,” Starkey said.

“I want this community to be as safe as it can.”

Short’s also got insight on the community from a public safety lens. As a volunteer firefighter and battalion chief with the Crescent City Fire Department, he’s seen homeless camps around the community.

“I know that we need work in that area, so I hope to further progress in making our homeless situation better,” Short said.

He pointed to a few projects-in-progress that he’s hopeful will make a positive impact on the county’s homeless population, like the county’s recent purchase of a Crescent City hotel for use as emergency housing.

Beyond that, Short also hopes to see the county continue to make progress in launching other projects on the issue.

A transitional housing tiny home village in Medford, Oregon, could serve as a model for Del Norte County, he said.

Another corner of the county’s budget he’d like to see improved is mental health services. The county is a “mental health desert,” he said.

“A lot of our vacancies at the county department of health are in the mental health realm. And I would like to work toward fixing

In the nearer term though, breaking through the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic is top of mind for Starkey, especially as local businesses face declining revenue and other challenges.

While state regulations limit what can be done in response to the virus, she said community members can make the best of the situation by shopping locally and pitching in to support area businesses.

“We have the option as the community to say ‘this is what we can do together,’” she said.

Capitalizing on Del Norte County’s community pride to come together and solve problems is how Starkey plans to respond to the county’s other challenges, too.

“My focus is really on what can I do to, number one, bring leadership, and number two, do what’s best for this community, whatever that looks like,” Starkey said.

“That’s going to take all of us. I can’t say that I know for sure what’s best for this community.”

pharmacies and some medical practices to help get the vaccine out, especially when it arrives in larger numbers.

“We really want to squeeze every dose out of every vial we can,” he said. “We’re asking people to be patient, work with their provider offices and be ready to get vaccinated when they can.”

Supervisor Bob Berkowitz asked Rehwaldt how the health authority planned to get the word out, especially to seniors, when the vaccine is available.

Rehwaldt said he would use the local press, the county website and medical offices to help spread the word. He said medical offices can begin making lists of those over 75 who would be near the top of the list.

Supervisor Gerry Hemmingsen asked how many vaccines could be given a day. He also asked how many doses the county gets every week and how much of it is stored.

“We aren’t storing anythat,” Short said. “Everything thing locally yet, we just comes down to money of literally got our freezers course, so I’d like to get our yesterday,” Rehwaldt said. budget adjusted in such a “We’re going to get them set way where we could attract up.” some mental health profesRehwaldt said the county sionals to our area.” will have three freezers, one Those issues, in addition the county purchased and to the county’s continuing two donated to the county. response to the COVID-19 He said it would take a few pandemic, are complex, but Short hopes to use his experience from a term on the city council in Crescent City to work with the rest of the From Page A1 board of supervisors to find pointed out the resolution is the right response. not meant to downplay the “You can’t do it by yourseriousness of COVID-19. self,” Short said. “We all “The comments that have get a lot more done for the all been expressed to our people of the county when board members over the we work together.”

“The number of doses we have is nowhere near the volume we’re going to need for that part of the rollout. A lot of this really depends on the vaccine supply coming from the state and federal level. When that happens, we really need to be ready roll out.”

weeks to get everything set up and tested.

“Once that’s up and ready, we reconfigure our application to the state,” Rehwaldt said.

Currently, Pfizer doses, which requires extremely cold storage, are held in Humboldt County and around once a week a Del Norte representative will go pick them up.

Currently the county has around 300 doeses of the Moderna vaccine and close to 600 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Rehwaldt said he is unsure when the next shipment will come.

“Then it depends on the vaccine availability. If there’s a lot of vaccine coming down the pipeline, game is on,” Rehwaldt said.

“My concern is we’re holding that for people who aren’t available to receive it,”Hemmingsen said. “There are people who want it. I am

concerned we’re holding and not injecting. If we have the ability to inject this vaccine, I think we should. I don’t want to be a holding facility, I don’t want to be a repository.

The only thing I would like to see is that we don’t store this, that we actually get it out to the public.”

Rehwaldt told supervisors that was the goal.

“The number of doses we have is nowhere near the volume we’re going to need for that part of the rollout,” he said. “A lot of this really depends on the vaccine supply coming from the state and federal level. When that happens, we really need to be ready roll out.”

Rehwaldt said Del Norte County has more than 4,000 people over the age of 65, and he hopes to get as many as possible vaccinated quickly. But for now, there is a wait for the vaccine supply to reach demand.

last year, we hear you loud and clear and this gives us something we can take to the state,” Howard said. “As Supervisor Starkey said, it doesn’t mean we relax our precautions. More importantly, we emphasize those to respect those around you.

That’s so important these

days so we can keep our spread rate low.

“We want to continue to hear great reports from Dr. Rehwaldt as we move forward in 2021 and, more importantly, we want to keep a track record of very low loss of life, which is so very important.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF Josephine Jenni Roberts CVPB-2021-7000 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Josephine Jenni Roberts A Petition for Probate has been filed by Debi Long, in the Superior Court of California, County of Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that Debi Long be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: February 5, 2021 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 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 In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000933-19-1.

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 scheduledsale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You mayhave 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 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www. insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA05000933-19-1 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.
