Crescent City teen facing attempted murder charges

By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate

Nineteen-year-old Gage Rowen Brassfield was arrested Dec. 4 and is facing several charges, including attempted murder, after he allegedly tried to pick the lock of a home that was occupied by a woman and at least one small child.

According to Crescent City Police Chief Richard Griffin, the

incident occurred at a residence located on the 500 block of Pacific Avenue at about 6:45 pm.

“He went over to a residence with a loaded AR 15 pistol and attempted to gain entry,” Griffin said. “He could not gain entry and the subject (intended victim) ended up not being home.”

According to Griffin and comments posted on Facebook by the alleged victim, Brassfield attempted to pick the lock of

the front door, then circled the house and tried to climb through a window. The woman inside the home noticed that Brassfield had a weapon.

According to Griffin, Sgt. Anthony Lopez located the weapon in a bush shortly after Brassfield’s arrest.

Griffin said that police responded to the incident almost immediately, and were able to arrest Brassfield without incident.

The charges against Brassfield include attempted assault with a deadly weapon; carrying a loaded firearm in public; possession of an assault weapon; exhibiting a deadly weapon and second degree attempted murder.

In California, two elements must be met in order to be convicted of attempted murder: the defendant must take at least Please see MURDER, Page A2

Sunset High School creates time capsule

By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate

What do face masks, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and student journals have in common? They are all part of a larger collection that went into Sunset High School’s most recent time capsule.

On a recent Monday, roughly 80 students at Sunset High gathered on campus to review the items they selected for the capsule, and to throw in a couple of last-minute additions.

The capsule - or more accu-

rately, a large steamer trunk now sits at the Del Norte County Historical Society and won’t be opened until 2046.

“We are preserving a bit of what’s happening right now in Del Norte County, and this is their chance to leave their mark and come back in 25 years to look at things that have represented us over the last two years,” said Sunset High Principal Tony Fabricius.

The morning event started out quietly. In one classroom, Christmas lights provided a less

jarring ease into the day than the turned-off overhead fluorescent lights might have. As the school’s principal rattled off “kudos” for the week, students sat and appeared as slow moving as the resident goats that could be seen chewing bits of grass on school grounds outside.

But as students got up from their desks a half hour later and met in the hallway, their energy level kicked up a few notches.

One student quickly grabbed a bottle of hand-sanitizer, emptied it, and threw it in the

trunk. “We’ve used a lot of this this year!” she said, prompting laughs and groans from her classmates.

Fabricius held a microphone, calling out the many contents held up by Sunset High teacher Kelly Troyna before they were placed into the capsule.

Some of the items included yearbooks from the last three years, a roll of toilet paper (as a reminder of its shortage at the onset of COVID-19), letters Please see CAPSULE, Page A2

Concerns over noise and a lack of affordable housing have put short-term rentals under scrutiny in Del Norte and Curry counties.

The influence of STRs date back to the 1950s, but their market influence wasn’t widely felt until Airbnb put them in the spotlight a little over a decade ago.

Since then, a lack of affordable housing has crippled people’s ability to find places to live, and as more tourists book weekend stays in places like Crescent City, Brookings and Hiouchi, those who have the ability to regulate such stays are starting to weigh the outcomes.

“We are essentially at a crossroads with the issue of vacation rentals,” said Betty Crockett, Curry County’s planning director, during a Dec. 1 Board of Commissioners workshop meeting. “They are a positive influence in promoting tourism and bringing dollars to the community for the people that own vacation rentals and the businesses that serve the vacationers, however some have become conduits for nuisance violations and neighbor complaints.”

So far, a majority of STRs are either lightly regulated or not regulated at all.

Vacation rental owners in Curry County are supposed to apply for a county business license and pay a 7 percent transient lodging tax, but according to Crockett, of the 400 vacation properties in the county, only 100 of them have current business licenses and 300 pay the required transient lodging tax during the peak season summer months.

“Essentially, they are unregulated,” Crockett said.

Across the Oregon border and into Del Norte County in Northern California, officials appear to have an even stronger hands off approach.

A 10% transient occupancy tax is authorized under State Revenue and Taxation Code section 7280, but that’s levied on those occupying a room or rooms “in a hotel, motel, inn, tourist home or house, or other lodging for a period of 30 days or less.” Read a little further on the county’s website, and it states that business licenses for short term rentals are not required.

“Regulating short term rentals of single family homes - the county has not taken a stance on that,” said Heidi Kunstall, the community development director for Del Norte County.

“We also put in a roster of the kids,” Fabricius said.

“Whoever is around in 2045, we are hoping that someone will reach out to them.”

This is Sunset High School’s second time capsule. In 2017, the historical society called Fabricius and told him that they had kept a watchful eye on a time capsule placed in their care in 1992, and that it was time to return it.

“We didn’t even know we had one,” Fabricius said. “What’s funny about it is that it was in one of the exhibits - a jail cell. For years, anybody who went to the museum, whether

it was me or the kids, we walked right past it and didn’t even know the trunk was ours.”

The previous trunk was opened the last week of school, in June 2018. Three former students, now in their 40s, were there to watch it happen. Some of the items had been damaged due to an exploding soda can and other perishables, but most of it was intact.

“We had a pretty cool assembly and opened it in front of the entire school,” Fabricius said.

Twenty-five years from now, Fabricius said he hopes more students will be able to return and watch the unsealing of the capsule, and joked that he will start eating better and walking so he is healthy enough to be a part of that plan.

When asked whether Brassfield stated after his arrest that he intended to kill the alleged victim, Griffin responded to the Triplicate, “We went on the intent as going over to the residence with a loaded firearm and trying to get

Griffin added that officers with the Crescent City Police Department are working to track down who may have supplied the firearm to Brassfield.

“We do believe someone else supplied it to him,” Griffin said.

The dispute between Brassfield and the intended victim may be long-standing.

“It appears to be something that stemmed from an Internet dispute between the group that led to a physical altercation at Walmart possibly a year or two ago, and a grudge

has been held since then,” Griffin said.

The alleged victim posted several messages on Facebook after Brassfield’s arrest, including an expletive-laden statement that ended with “...since I beat both they ass in Walmart.”

In another Facebook post, the alleged victim briefly held a weapon to his own head and stated: “I’m just gonna address this one time.

Yurok Tribe receives grants to restore salmon habitat

By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate

The Yurok Tribe recently received a little over a half million dollars to increase salmonid habitats in two local creeks that feed into the Klamath River.

Hunter and McGarvey Creeks are important rearing and staging habitats for salmonids, but historic logging, road building and loss of naturally forming wood jams have impacted both streams. As a result, Chinook,

Coho, Steelhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout and other species have suffered.

Recent grants from the California Coastal Commission for about $300,000 and a little under $243,000 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will allow the tribe to restore seven acres on McGarvey Creek and nine acres on Hunter.

Specifically, the tribe will construct dams that most commonly occur in nature, including beaver

dam analogs. The part wood, part vegetation structure is porous and creates ponds that serve as ideal nurseries for juvenile fish.

The ponds end up acting as a safe place for young salmonids to grow until they’re big enough to venture out to sea, and is the same place they return to lay and fertilize eggs.

Constructed wood jams and revegetation along the creeks will also be a part of the project, as well as monitoring by the

Yurok Tribal Fisheries Department through the end of 2026.

Most of the land near the two creeks is owned and managed for timber production by Green Diamond Resource Company, and the Yurok Tribe and Green Diamond have worked together for several years to improve fish habitats in the Lower Klamath River.

Matt House, Green Diamond senior aquatic biologist, said, “We are happy to be collaborat-

ing with the Yurok Tribe on these two restoration projects in the Lower Klamath River tributaries.

The Yurok Tribe continues to bring forward innovative restoration ideas that contribute to the enhancement of aquatic species and their habitats.”

The hope is that once the projects are completed, they will be self-sustaining. Both creeks sit at a high enough elevation that they are not expected to be impacted by predicted sea level rise.

Jacob Castro, 20, of Crescent City, was convicted of driving on a suspended

while license is suspended.

Rentals

Indeed. On Nov. 2, 58% of the voters in Lincoln County, Oregon, voted to phase out STRs entirely.

“A large reason for the success of that ballot measure was the fact that citizens repeatedly asked the county commissioners in Lincoln County to do a better job enforcing vacation rentals because of the nuisance problems that existed,” Crockett said Dec. 1.

Crockett added if the commission decides to require STRs to obtain a conditional use permit instead of just a business license, the county would be able to weed out nuisance properties from the upstanding ones. The move would also protect owners of vacation homes from getting squeezed out by voters.

“What we are trying to accomplish here, and essentially what we determined is it’s important for the county to protect the long-term viability and investments made of numerous wellmanaged vacation rentals in Curry County, but it’s also important to put into place standards to address those units that are marginally managed, and there are a lot of them,” Crockett said.

Meanwhile, Del Norte County commissioners have not yet approached the subject.

“About 10 years ago, there was consideration by the board of light regulation of vacation rentals, but that was before they really took off in the last couple of years,” Kunstall said. “They talked about putting information on the front door of homes that would direct neighbors to call for responding to

concerns, but at the end of the day the board decided not to consider it.”

Currently, Del Norte County does not have the ability to track STRrelated nuisance calls because those complaints tend to go through public

safety agencies, which have no way of knowing whether the occupant is the owner or a long or short-term renter.

“We are in the process of updating housing development, and I thought this would be a part of

the process and the effect they have on long-term rentals, but it will be the board making those calls,” Kunstall said. “The housing development update is due Sept. 22. Short-term rentals are not part of it at this point, and I don’t want

to presume they won’t do that because there would be a place for it to go if they want to address it. As staff, it’s our job to implement and follow through with the policies of the county commission.”

From Page A1 According to Barbara Lopez with the Del Norte County tax collector’s office, there are currently 175 short-term rentals in Del Norte County. These numbers do not include STRs operating within Crescent City limits, or “motels, hotels or RV parks that we collect on,” Lopez said.

The influence of the so-called short term rental effect on long-term housing and neighbors who live near them, however, may still be out shadowed by its popular and lucrative juggernaut.

The California Coastal Conservancy, a nonregulatory agency that supports projects to protect coastal resources and increase opportunities for the public to enjoy the coast, discussed at its Dec. 2 meeting whether STRs should be included in the conservancy’s Coastal Access Project Standards a document that’s not been updated since 1983.

According to Amy Hutzel, executive director of the conservancy, almost 100 letters from the public were received, and about 70% of them had to do with STRs. “Most of those were including inclusion of short-term rentals as one of the types of overnight accommodations in that particular standard,” Hutzel said, referring to standard nine in the document that seeks to improve access to low-cost overnight accommodations.

Joseph Alioto, an appointee out of San Francisco who specializes in antitrust, whistleblower and civil rights cases, urged his peers to use caution.

“I’m of the view that the issue should be something that’s going to be decided by local ordinance or by local governments themselves,” Alioto said.

“It’s an issue that’s been controversial.”

True Holiday Spirit

By Bryan Golden

Among other things, the holidays are a time of giving and receiving gifts. The question most often asked of people is, “what did you get?” Much less frequently asked is, “what did you give?”

Invariably, the inquiries concern material gifts. Purchasing a gift can certainly be thoughtful and a wonderful gesture, especially when it’s backed up by your actions.

However, the most valuable presents are those that aren’t sold in stores. When you give your love, your time, help someone in need, aid another in solving a problem or overcoming an obstacle, you give something priceless.

The true spirit of the holidays is giving. When you give, you receive. You can get anything in life you want by helping enough others get what they want. But only if you give without expecting anything in return. The impact of giving isn’t limited to just the holiday season, it’s something that has value all year.

The power of giving is often underestimated. When you give unconditionally, you don’t just impact the recipient; you start a chain reaction. By brightening the life of one person you also affect all those who they

then touch.

No gesture of giving or kindness is too small. Holding the door open at a store, helping someone carry groceries to their car, letting another car in front of you, saying please and thank you, and saying hello to a stranger you pass on the sidewalk, are some of the many things you can do daily.

For family and friends, your time is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. Are you there for others when they need you? Do you offer a hand without being asked? Do you help out when asked?

Too often, people get caught up in their own desires, thus losing sight of the needs of others. A person who tries to get through life by looking out for himself or herself first is invariably frustrated. Often this person views life as a competition to determine who can accumulate more.

On the other hand, those who are concerned for the wellbeing of others are happier, more content, and more satisfied. By giving without expecting, they in turn receive the things they need.

Giving is a simple concept that works every time it is applied. There will be people who don’t appreciate what you do, but it doesn’t matter. You are giving without anticipat-

ing anything in return. Besides, there will be many more who are thankful for your efforts.

If you don’t treat others well, buying a gift won’t compensate for your behavior. The recipient might like what you give them but it won’t make up for your actions. You can’t bribe someone to forgive the way you treat them with a present.

The best gift you can receive is the joy of making someone else happy. Being unselfish is a wonderful way to live. When you give with no ulterior motives, your actions are seen as genuine. Should you expect something in return, your behavior is always suspect. We all know people who do nice things only when they want something in return.

Make giving a daily routine. Don’t start and end with the holiday season. Every day is a good day to do something nice. When people feel good due to your actions, you can’t help but feel happy yourself. And that is priceless. The most significant action you can take is having a positive impact on the lives of others.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren LOVE INTEREST RAISES EYEBROW AT MAN'S SHIFTS IN BEHAVIOR DEAR ABBY: A few months ago, I started dating a widower. He is a really great guy, and he seems perfect for me.

I'm divorced, and my adult children live in other states. We have many shared interests and have a lot of fun together.

I noticed early on that he is very emotional, but occasionally, he seems to have manic episodes where he works himself nearly to death, doesn't eat or sleep much and then abruptly leaves.

When we talk afterward, he picks on me for really trivial -- or untrue -- things.

I know bipolar disorder isn't simple to diagnose, and I don't think this issue has ever come up with him. I just wonder if this relationship has a chance.

His first marriage ended in divorce, and his children want nothing to do with him. Evidently, his second marriage was good, but she died last year.

His youngest son is in college. My self-esteem isn't tied to this. I enjoy his company 95% of the time, and I think I love him. I don't plan to ever remarry and neither does he. I don't think he is dangerous, but I am a no-drama type, so I'm wondering if I should let him go, even though it would be hard to do. -SEEING SIGNS IN MICHIGAN DEAR SEEING SIGNS: If what you have written is accurate, you have seen this man only during his "highs" -but not during his lows. Because bipolar illness can be treated, IF the person is willing to admit they "may" have a problem, it would be wise to discuss this with him when he's in a normal phase and suggest that he be screened. If he refuses, then might be the time to rationally (rather than emotionally) decide whether to let him go.

DEAR ABBY: I have two beautiful daughters from a previous marriage. My

ex and I get along well (better as friends than partners) and do things as often as possible with the girls, which includes travel. We usually take one to two trips a year. The girls love it, and so do we.

I am now remarried. My wife has a hard time with the traveling, and we have had many fights about it.

She would like both families to travel together, but my girls don't want that.

My ex's mom has just booked a trip to Hawaii and is willing to pay for me to go. My wife said absolutely not because Hawaii is such a paradise.

I'm torn because these trips are the only real quality time I have with the girls. There is absolutely nothing going on between my ex and me. The girls would rather travel with their mom than anyone else. What should I do? -PACKED AND READY DEAR PACKED: How long have you been remarried? And how old are your girls? Although they may enjoy the fantasy of their parents being a happy family, that is all it is -- a fantasy.

It's wonderful that you and your ex-wife enjoy an amicable relationship, but the time has come for you to stand up for the woman to whom you are presently married. She should have been welcomed on those trips right after the two of you made it official, and you should have made that clear. I don't blame your wife for being upset at this point. I would be, too. You should encourage your wife to come, too -- and devote some time to being with her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Nearly 80% of rapes and sexual violence go unreported, The national rape-related pregnancy rate is 5% per rape among victims of reproductive age (aged 12 to 45); among adult women an estimated 32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year (According to the NCBI), including incest.

We should leave our religious and philosophical dogmatic beliefs at the door.

Many politicians ask their mistresses to have a abortion and offer hush money to keep them quiet. Then go on the floor and vote against anti-poverty/pro-welfare legislation. While in conservative states; infant mortality rate is high, an underperformed education system and the child poverty rate is high.

Ultimately, women have the final say of their reproductive healthcare. We need to support family planning, safe sex education and the right to birth control.

Is the American Dream fading in the West?

By Benjamin Waddell I recently spent two days with a Mexican national named Alfredo because his experience and many of his surprising opinions seemed widely shared: America, he’s concluded, isn’t worth the struggle.

“The last time I crossed into the U.S., we had to walk for seven days under constant rain,” Alfredo told me. “I’m glad I never have to do that again.”

We were hiking a trail near his home in central Mexico, where rain had turned the land green, with maturing cornfields flanked by rows of beans and squash.

For years, Alfredo, 37, worked as a landscaper and also as a roofer in the American Southwest.

These days, though, he stays home. “My land is full of life. I only left my country like everyone else because I had to. I was poor and back then it was a violent place.”

Alfredo lives in the state of Guanajuato, which is among the top migrant-sending states in Mexico. Now, roughly 10.9 million Mexican-born residents live in America, and the majority came from small towns like the one I was walking through.

I thought of my parents, who left Iowa and Arkansas in the 1970s to head West. In their case they were fleeing segregation, but like Alfredo, they were in search of opportunity. In 1974, they moved to Telluride, Colorado, then a busted mining town aspiring to become another Aspen.

That first winter they

lived in the back of a van while they remodeled an old mining shack, which they purchased for $20,000. Neither had a college education, but in those days a degree wasn’t required to aspire to a middle-class life.

My father worked construction and my mom waited tables. Money was tight, but the first ski lift had just gone in, and the future looked promising.

These days, both continue to work, but they are financially stable in large part because of the equity in a house they owned decades ago.

Today, opportunities in the West are harder to come by. My childhood home in Telluride, although no longer in the family, recently appraised for just over $5 million, representing a 24,900% increase since my parents first purchased it. Wages, in turn, have been stuck in neutral for decades. And while wandering hippies may still show up in vans, few are able to purchase property of their own unless they’re packing a trust fund. As the middle-class fades away, what’s left seems to narrow down to property owners and workers.

If he’d been born a few decades earlier, Alfredo said, he might have tried to stay in the United States. “But all I did in the U.S. was work from sunup to sundown, and for what?

At least here I have my home and my cornfields, I get to see my family every day, and I’m connected to the land.”

Alfredo’s not alone.

Today, more migrants are returning to Mexico than

are leaving. The outflow back to Mexico is affecting Western states particularly hard, because most of the Mexicans who do migrate to this country are settling in southern states like Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia. Similar trends are evident within smaller sending countries like El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras and Guatemala.

According to my research, the migrants returning to Mexico tend to leave states such as Arizona, California, Colorado and Texas. These demographic shifts have contributed to an acute labor shortage.

For generations, Mexican migrants subsidized the expansion of the West by providing cheap workers. Men like Alfredo worked alongside newcomers like my parents, and together, they helped build now-legendary towns like Telluride. Now, just as Mexican migration rates reverse, the cost of construction, housing, and basic services in the West are all on the rise.

As we settled into the trail toward Alfredo’s hometown of San Martin de Terreros, I asked Alfredo if he planned to come back to the U.S. one day. “No, señor,” he responded without hesitation. “I have everything I need right here.”

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY OF DEL NORTE DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: The voters of the County of Del Norte desire to repeal the recent 1% sales tax at the next primary election.

Signed by Linda Sutter 815 Endert St., Crescent City, CA. 95531 ----------------------------------------INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS The City Attorney has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure.

TITLE: An Initiative to Repeal Measure S Summary: On November 3, 2020, City voters approved Measure S, a local tax measure that imposes a 1.0% transactions and use tax within the City limits. A “transactions and use tax” is commonly referred to as a “sales tax”.

A 1.0% sales tax is equal to one cent for every dollar of a taxable retail purchase. The tax does not apply to most food purchases such as groceries or prescription medications.

The City estimated that the local sales tax are deposited into the City’s General Fund.

The General Fund supports a variety of general municipal services including, but not limited to the following essential City services: emergency rescue services such as fire protection and medical aid provided by the Crescent City Fire Department and public

City Police Department; maintenance and repair to City streets and sidewalks; and the maintenance and operation of the Fred Endert Municipal Swimming Pool. The Measure S ordinance required the City Council to appoint an oversight committee to review and publicly report on the expenditure of Measure S revenues.

The oversight committee is made up of two non-voting City staff persons and five City residents, who each serve two-year terms. In addition, the Measure S ordinance requires an independent audit of local tax revenues and expenditures to be conducted each year in conjunction with the City’s annual financial audit. The City Council has also tasked the oversight committee with advising on the expenditure of Measure S revenues as part of the City’s annual budget process. All meetings of the Measure S Oversight Committee are open to the public. The Measure S Committee recommended and the City Council approved the expenditure of Measure S revenues for the following purposes: $279,524 to the Police Department for equipment, staffing, and building design; $325,000 for poop operations and equipment; and $465,000 for street repair projects including streets, sidewalks, and street lights. If approved by the voters, this initiative would repeal the 1.0% local sales tax within the city limits. Thus, the City would receive approximately $1.3 million less each year to fund general City municipal services and functions including essential services such as fire and police emergency services, the municipal pool, and street maintenance and repair.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CIRCULATE INITIATIVE PETITION Notice is hereby given by the person whose name appear hereon of their intention to circulate the petition within the City of Crescent City for the purpose of submitting an initiative measure to vote of the people. Voters of Crescent City approved Measure S. This measure was placed on the November 3, 2020 Ballot by the City Council, establishing a 1% sales tax. A Statement of Reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: 1.) We have learned from the $25 million dollar school bond that Citizen Oversight Committees don’t work to protect the tax payer’s money. The Del Norte Unified School Unified District is currently under investigation by an outside organization and findings are proving the committee has not operated in an INDEPENDENT and LEGAL capacity in protecting the taxpayer, since its inception 12 years ago. With three past government employees on the City’s 1% Sales Tax Oversight Committee, we believe they are there to rubber stamp, not protect our tax dollars or see that they are spent wisely. 2.)

Employees of the City have not voluntarily reduced their salaries or benefits during the Pandemic period while many others that are not government employees have lost their businesses, their homes and are struggling. 3.)

We have high unemployment, high poverty, high taxes, high gas prices, high food prices and we’re being taxed to death.

Cost of living is too high. Taxed when we earn it, taxed when we spent it and too little to show for it. 4.) The potholes in our roads aren’t fixed or maintained nearly enough. Our swimming pool used to have a $1/4 million dollar deficit and now it’s $1/2 million on a relatively new pool with too few users. Our Police Department is currently fully staffed.

Detective positions can be trained from existing employees instead of hiring new.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on

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.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 683-2468 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkasap. com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-852. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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

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 (800) 683- 2468, or visit this internet website www. servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-852 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.

California State Parks North Coast Redwoods District and Redwood National and State Parks place land acknowledgment signs in partnership with Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2021 | A9

Contributed photos

Representatives of California State Parks, North Coast Redwoods District, Redwood National and State Parks and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation take a picture after announcing a collaboration to place land acknowledgment signs in state parks.

California State Parks and Redwood National and State Parks in Del Norte County will receive new land acknowledgment signs. California State Parks, North Coast Redwoods District, Redwood National and State Parks and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation announce this exciting collaboration that will bring cultural awareness to Del Norte County.

The land acknowledgment signs will be placed in state and national park locations within the Nation’s ancestral land territory.

The signs are the standard brown park signs with white writing and feature a basket design and the Nations indigenous place names in Taa-laa-wa Deeni’ Wee-ya’.

Greg Collins, cultural resources program supervisor and district tribal liaison with the parks shared “We do this as a symbol of the work we do and the collaboration we have with the Nation, in the past and moving forward.”

The parks and the nation believe the signs will be a positive addition that will share more history of the area, to enrich visitors experience. Victor Bjelejac, California State Parks North Coast Redwoods District superintendent, sees these signs as a continued opportunity for visitors to connect with, and foster appreciation for the original stewards of our park lands.

“By having these signs placed in a California State Park, we feel this will help contribute to a movement throughout the 280 state parks in California to further elevate, honor and celebrate the Indigenous voices and stories that are rooted in the ancestral lands that our parks now protect.”

The nine signs will be installed on existing infrastructures in highly visited areas to not cause any land disturbances. The signs can be seen at entrance stations, visitor’s centers and places where visitors often gather.

One sign will be at the Hiouchi Visitors Center, two in Jedediah Smith State

Park near the visitor’s center (Chvn-su’lh-dvn), and at the campground entrance kiosk. There will be two locations along Howland Hill Road, one at the Boy Scout Tree Trail (Tee-ne) and one at the Mill Creek Trail, Grove of Titans (Shaa-xu’-me’). Two signs at Tolowa Dunes State Park (Yan’-daa-k’vt), at the north entrance of park on Sand Hill Road (Taagha’sr-naa-lhxvn-dvn). The final sign will be placed at the Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, Campfire Center (Shaa-xu’-chuudvn). Several of these signs are located within Redwood National and State Parks, a unique partnership formed in 1994 between

the National Park Service and California State Parks to comanage over 130,000 acres, helping to protect almost half of the remaining old-growth redwood forests in the world. Redwood National and State Park Superintendent Steve Mietz sees the placement of these signs as “an opportunity to help people from around the world who visit our parks recognize that they are traveling through the ancestral territories of Indigenous communities that have cared for these lands since time immemorial and continue stewardship today.”

We encourage the community to visit these areas and look for the new signs.

He is full of energy and love playtime and other dogs.

He would most likely do best in a home without cats. Come check him out at South Coast Humane Society in Brookings!

Call (541) 412-0325 for more info. Find more dogs for addoption at Dogs of Del Norte County Facebook page.
