Sheriff’s department takes over animal control continue as animal control supervisor and oversee operations with two subordinates.

Scott underscored the valuable importance of two entities which have provided vital services prior to, during and continuing into the new administration: Dogs of Del Norte and the Humane Society of Del Norte County.

On the sheriff’s shopping list are a horse shelter stall and livestock trailer Veterinarian services will be evaluated after the transition.

An additional animal control officer will be hired, joining the two officers already on staff.

Crucial to the successful transition to the Sheriff’s Department are the volunteers.

“Dog walker volunteers are wanted, needed and greatly appreciated, “ according to Sheriff Scott.

He urges those wishing to help out, apply at the pound on West Washington Boulevard.

The official transfer of animal control will take place January 1.

The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors have transferred control of Animal Services from the Agriculture Department to the Sheriff.

At the board’s only meeting for December, Supervisors also allocated $38,000 to transition Agriculture to its new location on Williams Drive.

What can the public expect in the new year?

Sheriff Garrett Scott plans to create a new Animal Control clerical secretary. A new full-time kennel attendant will join an existing full time attendant. Two part-time kennel attendants positions will be phased out.

The sheriff will announce the filling of a captain position in a few weeks. That individual will join two other high-ranking deputies.

When the sheriff’s department takes over animal control at the beginning of the year, volunteers who spend time with the dogs and cats at the shelter will remain a vital component of the system.

Jetty remains a danger in Crescent City

BY ROGER GITLIN For The Triplicate

Jeremy and Felicia Murphy along with their son Jason were enjoying a typical mid-morning Sunday, December 11, near the B Street pier. Jeremy glanced over at the Crescent City Jetty and couldn’t believe his eyes. A couple was walking atop the Jetty, despite several warnings of dangerous conditions not to do so.

The unidentified man and woman apparently ignored signage advising of the peril walking on the Jetty and over the last two decades. With at least 15 rescues and three deaths associated with individuals being swept of the pier and suffering blunt force trauma on the rocks bordering the jetty, the problem of public access continues to endure. The couple narrowly escaped the fury of three large waves, pummeling them to the Jetty deck.

Chetco candlelight-time, Chit-xu Ch’aa-ghee-lvt-dvn, was an event for the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and the community at-large to come together to heal their past at the mouth of the Chetco River at the Port of Brookings Harbor on Sunday, Dec. 18.

Candlelight event acknowledges massacre of Chetco people

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Triplicate

The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation invited the community to come together in healing remembrances and in loving acknowledgment of the Dee-ni’ lives lost in the Chit-xu village massacre on February 15,1853, that consisted of 40 houses at the mouth of the Chetco River.

The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation held the candlelight event to help heal their past and remember their ancestors who lived at the Chit-xu Taa-ghi at the mouth of the Chetco River at the Port of Brookings Harbor on Sunday, Dec. 18.

The event included the lighting of candles, a welcome and prayer, a history of the massacre and keynote speaker Dr. Virgil Moorehead Jr., a licensed clinical psychologist and director of Two Feathers Native American Family Services. Everyone in the community was invited to attend. ”The idea is to grow our communities and join hands rather than pull apart. We find there are more commonalities than differences if we can look at it that way,” said Sheryl Steinruck, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation education director.

“Yes, the history is very negative,” Steinruck

said. “But, my dad always said it’s not so much what happens to you that matters but how you deal with what happens to you because there is always going to be something – there is always oppression happening somewhere in the world.”

The Chetco people lived at the mouth of the river with at least nine major villages on two sides of the river from the mouth to about 14 miles upriver. The main two villages were located at the river’s mouth on the north and south banks, according to the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation.

The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation states that following the discovery of gold on the Klamath River in 1850, settlers poured into the Dee-ni’ Territory.

Between 1851 and 1852 there were numerous conflicts between the Dee-ni’ and white settlers – precipitating a decade of massacres and attempts to exterminate Dee-ni’ people and their way of life.

Members of the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation started holding candlelight events at different massacre sites several years ago and are planning to hold several more.

At the beginning of the year, new groundfish regulations will go into effect for most species in California.

New Recreational Groundfish Fishing Regulations Coming in the New Year Changes to recreational fishing seasons, depth limits and bag limits for a va-riety of groundfish species will be implemented in 2023.

The new regulations were adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council in June 2022 and the California Fish and Game Commission in No-vember 2022 and are expected to take effect on or around Jan. 1, 2023.

As in previous years, the boat-based fishery for most groundfish species will be closed statewide beginning Jan. 1, while spear divers and shore-based an-glers will continue to have year-round fishing opportunities for groundfish.

For groundfish including Rockfish, Cabezon and Greenling (RCG) as well as lingcod, the boat-based seasons will bring a mix of increased and reduced fishing opportunities, depending on the species. Unlike prior years, all Groundfish Management Areas will have a portion of the season when ‘all-depth’ fishing is allowed and anglers are not subject to the Rockfish Conservation Area (RCA) depth constraints. This allows new fishing opportunities for deeper-water shelf and slope rockfish, which are most abundant in areas that have been previously closed to recreational groundfish fishing. The fol-lowing is a summary of the new boatbased regulations for RCG species and lingcod in each management area: Southern Management Area between 34°27’ N. latitude (Point Conception) and the U.S./Mexico border: • For nearshore rockfish, cabezon and greenlings: closed Jan. 1 through March 31, open at all depths April 1 through Sept. 15, closed Sept. 16 through Dec. 31.

• For all other rockfish (shelf and slope species) and lingcod: closed Jan. 1 through March 31, open at all depths April 1 through Sept. 15. From Sept. 16 through Dec. 31, take of shelf and slope rockfish and lingcod is open seaward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

Take is prohibited shoreward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

• Additional regulations still apply within the Cowcod Conservation Are-as.

Central Management Area between 37°11’ N. latitude (Pigeon Point) and 34°27’ N. latitude (Point Conception): • For nearshore rockfish, cabezon and greenlings: closed Jan. 1 through April 30, open at all depths May 1 through Sept. 30, closed Oct. 1 through Dec. 31.

• For all other rockfish (shelf and slope species) and lingcod: closed Jan. 1 through April 30, open at all depths May 1 through Sept.

30. From Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, take of shelf and slope rockfish and lingcod is open seaward of the 50 fathom RCA line. Take is prohibited shoreward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

San Francisco Management Area between 38°57.5’ N. latitude (Point Arena) and 37°11’ N. latitude (Pigeon Point): • For nearshore rockfish, cabezon and greenlings: closed Jan. 1 through July 15, open at all depths July 16 through Dec. 31.

• For all other rockfish (shelf and slope species) and lingcod: closed Jan. 1 through May 14. From May 15 through July 15, take of shelf and slope rockfish and lingcod is open seaward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

Take is prohibited shoreward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

From July 16 through Dec. 31, open at all depths.

Mendocino Management Area between 40°10’ N. latitude (near Cape Men-docino) and 38°57.5’ N. latitude (Point Arena): • For nearshore rockfish, cabezon and greenlings: closed Jan. 1 through July 15, open at all depths July 16 through Dec. 31.

• For all other rockfish (shelf and slope species) and lingcod: closed Jan. 1 through May 14. From May 15 through July 15, take of shelf and slope rockfish and lingcod is open seaward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

Take is prohibited shoreward of the 50 fathom RCA line.

From July 16 through Dec. 31, open at all depths.

Northern Management Area between the California/ Oregon state line and 40°10’ N. latitude (near Cape Mendocino): • For rockfish, cabezon, greenlings and lingcod: closed Jan. 1 through May 14, open at all depths May 15 through Oct. 15, closed Oct. 16 through Dec. 31.

Anglers will need to identify rockfish species they catch, and beginning in 2023, be able to determine if the fish is categorized as a nearshore, shelf or slope rockfish species, as different seasons and depths apply to each category depending on the Groundfish Management Area and month. The RCG bag limit will remain at 10 fish in combination of rockfish, cabezon and greenlings, with sub-bag limits of not more than four vermilion rockfish, one copper rockfish and one quillback rockfish.

Take and possession of cowcod, yelloweye and bronzespotted rockfish will remain prohibited.

The new groundfish regulations are a significant departure from the fishing seasons and depth limits that anglers are accustomed to and are necessary due to scientific information suggesting that copper rockfish and quillback rockfish populations are in severe decline.

The season structures for each management area were developed in consultation with fishing industry representatives, non-governmental organizations and state, federal and tribal governments, and were designed to provide the greatest amount of groundfish fishing time and opportunity to anglers throughout the year.

“While recognizing there are concerns with copper and quillback rockfish that will reduce nearshore fishing time in the near-term, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is excited to offer recreational anglers new deeper-water and offshore bank and reef opportunities for groundfish that have been closed for more than two decades,” said CDFW Environmental Program Manager Marci Yaremko.

5 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON Keep everyone jolly and better protected from COVID-19 infection with a few simple steps:

Make COVID-19 an uninvited guest.

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

Stay healthy to ensure you can fully enjoy all the celebrations.

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

Enjoy your festivities in the fresh air.

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

Test before gathering.

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

Consider wearing a mask based on local transmission rates.

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

Opinion: Attacks on Press Freedom Are an Attack on Democracy

By WILLIAM MCKENZIE InsideSources.com

Alfonso Esquivel. Antonio de la Cruz. Armando Lopez. Fredid Roman. Heber Vasquez. Jose Arenas.

Juan Lopez. Juan Muniz. Luis Ramirez. Maria Lopez.

Roberto Barrera. Sheila Oliveira. Yessenia Falconi.

Remember those names. They are the 13 journalists killed this year in Mexico, a country that the Committee to Protect Journalists says has turned into the most dangerous country for journalists.

Mexico’s drug cartels pose a particular obstacle to independent journalism. Physical threats are a reality for some journalists, while the cartels’ presence in Mexico’s northern states and along the Pacific Coast can lead to journalists censoring themselves.

Unfortunately, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has not firmly upheld the importance of a free press in a democracy. After the slaying this year of a Mexican journalist, the Inter American Press Association called upon the leader to curtail his harangues against journalists who criticize his administration.

Mexico is far from the only country in the Americas where journalists face personal and professional barriers. Nicaragua. El Salvador. Honduras. Guatemala.

Venezuela. They are among the nations that CPJ considers serious abusers of independent journalism. So does Freedom House, which gives those five countries a score of two or lower on its four-point 2022 ratings for media freedom.

For example, longstanding dictator Daniel Ortega suspended 17 radio and TV stations in Nicaraguain September. Two months earlier, his government raided the homes of a reporter and a photojournalist working for La Prensa newspaper. The government also detained two drivers working for the independent operation.

The list continues. In June, authorities canceled the legal status of the independent Trinchera de la Noticia.

In March, a judge found the publisher of La Prensa guilty of money laundering after a closed-door trial.

In February, another journalist received nine years for conspiring to undermine Nicaragua’s integrity and distributing false information.

These are only some of the attempts to control a free press in Latin America. Increasingly, journalists and media organizations find their ability to provide reliable reporting and in-depth investigations restricted in some countries. The limits are part of a larger unraveling of democracy across Latin America.

The question is, what to do about these challenges?

Most important, Latin American civil society leaders who value a free press should embrace efforts to bolster independent reporting. Fortunately, some efforts exist.

During this summer’s Summit of the Americas, the Organization of American States helped launch the Center for Media Integrity of the Americas. The center, which plans on becoming an independent entity, seeks to fight back against pressures on journalists, including from governments, drug cartels and corporate interests.

In September, the center hosted a conference featuring Venezuelan, Cuban and Nicaraguan journalists. The reporters told their stories, explained how attacks on freedom of the press are linked to declines in democracy, and advocated for the cause of independent journalism in the Americas.

The region also needs trained journalists. Here, too, numerous efforts exist.

The Consortium to Support Independent Journalism in Latin America invests in journalists doing investigative reporting in Latin America. University of Texas-Austin’s Knight Center equips future reporters to work in the region. And the Center for Media Integrity of the Americas will host a competition to award Latin American journalists money to pursue their reporting projects.

Training journalists requires money, of course.

Private philanthropy, especially, can help provide necessary resources. Government assistance for getting a vibrant press off the ground in democratically challenged nations can only go so far before it looks like governments are spinning stories.

The United States cannot fix this problem alone, but our voice matters. The Biden administration rightly acknowledged this spring the need for journalistic freedom. The United States needs to continue promoting this idea, and not just on anniversaries like World Press Freedom Day.

The Crescent City Jetty Jitters: Perilous and Beneficial

Should the Jetty be secured from the public? With yet another near-tragedy incident two weeks past, this latest close call occurred when a brazen couple ignored signage and avoid walking atop the Jetty. The unidentified man and woman slithered through the flimsy gate and began to casually walk the 3400 foot dog-legged peninsula, toward the dolosse which are equipped with sensitive electrical data to monitor pier movement and precariously balancing the Jetty and protecting ingress and egress to the Harbor. On the way back, this irresponsible couple encountered the fury of the Pacific and were hit broadside by huge waves, knocking them to the ground three times and nearly sweeping both off the deck and on to probable severe blunt force trauma and possible death. The episode was videoed by a Crescent City couple, Jeremy and Felicia Murphy. It was dramatic and harrowing to watch.

This December 11, 2022 event was not stand-alone. Since 2001, Del Norte Search and Rescue has conducted scores of rescues. 15 individuals have suffered serious injuries. During this two decade plus record, three people have lost their lives after being swept off the Jetty and on

to the jagged rocks propping up the Jetty on the Harbor side.

Warning signage of this peril discouraging accessing the Jetty is not effective.

In fact,, signage allows entry”… at your own risk.,” Local law enforcement has no purview or oversight to cite those who defy the signage. The property is owned and operated by the Federal Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers What can the public do to protect these apparently illiterate and obviously irresponsible folks who risk their lives and those who attempt to rescue them?

The City is taking the lead and will contact the USACE, in San Francisco for a serious conversation about this ignominious record of human tragedy atop the Jetty. Arguments for solutions include more signage, more education, stronger, secure gating and appropriate thimble fencing enveloping ingress. I support the thimble fencing preventing all but the authorized to access the jetty.

There are those who subscribe to Charles Darwin’s theory on survival of the fittest, implying those who wantonly defy dangerous warning signage will eventually succumb to their own self-inflicted irresponsibility; I don’t subscribe to that

mindset. Those in authority should do everything in their power to Roger prevent people from Gitlin injuring or killing themselves. A good intervention example is the State of California creating a motorcycle / bicycle helmetJetty.

The argument against this intervention is also reasonable.

What’s to prevent an individual from climbing atop a rock or cliff, slipping and falling to injury or worse? What’s to prevent now-legal J walking which will no doubt increase pedestrian/ vehicle contact: another imprudent law passed by a misguided State of California? This déjà vu attitude of standing by doing zero to those who irresponsibly risk their lives and those sworn to protect them must stop now. To be sure, standing by and doing nothing ensures more irresponsible behavior will continue and more tragic events will occur.

Who Speaks for the Trees?

“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.

I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.”

The Lorax is a Dr. Seuss story about a brave character who tried to stop the clear cutting of rare Truffula trees. Spoiler alert!

He failed.

In Del Norte County who speaks for the trees?

Recently, local residents were surprised to learn through the grapevine that some old growth redwood trees in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park had been cut down along Highway 199.

It began as a buzz on Facebook. There were photos of large redwood tree stumps, including a tree hugger whose arms outstretched on a fallen redwood only reached halfway across the diameter.

The Friends of Del Norte started asking questions and raising concerns.

Eventually, there was a story published by the Wild Rivers Outpost (12/16/22) that provided more clues to this tree murder mystery.

The people demanded an explanation.

“Those trees had it coming,” Caltrans responded, “They might have killed someone, some day.”

Just kidding. After the fact, Caltrans explained that these redwoods were cut to improve road safety. It is a reasonable premise. Trees or limbs will inevitably fall during winter storms. There is an undeniable risk.

As we saw last year, it is possible that a redwood tree can fall on a passing car.

While this was a tragic accident, it is also a very rare occurrence. We should not overreact.

IF it is a rational conclusion that some of the trees near the road should be cut down in the interest of safety, then it is a logical extension of this strategy that it would be better to cut down more.

This is what people are concerned about.

Before a government agency makes a discretionary decision to irrevocably remove redwood trees, there should at

least be an opportunity to have questions answered.

How many old growth redwoods were cut? What criteria were used to determine which trees to cut? Were proper procedures followed to ensure compliance with state and federal environmental laws?

Who spoke for the trees?

The problem is not with the justification for this action, but with the execution of the plan without clear prior notice or public involvement with the decision-making.

The public notices vaguely stated that Highway 199 would be closed for “winterization” or “tree work.”

Caltrans may have the right or obligation in an emergency to remove trees without any public process. However, it behooves responsible government agencies to embrace transparent processes whenever possible to gain long term trust with the public. When there is a lack of official information the void is filled with speculation.

I understand why some people will fight hard to save every tree in the remaining stands of old growth redwoods. Redwood trees have grown in our region for millions of years, but ninety five percent of the original old growth redwoods have been cut since redwood logging began.

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park contains a significant portion of what is left of the old growth redwoods. They are specifically charged with stewardship of these redwoods. Did they speak for the trees?

Allowing only a few redwoods to be cut here and there could be like a death by a thousand cuts, literally. Over time the remaining stands of old growth redwood may disappear without vigilant preservation efforts.

There are several committed conservation groups worth mentioning who have been strong defenders of our redwood forests. They boldly speak for the trees.

The Save the Redwoods League has worked for 100 years to protect coast redwoods and giant sequoia forests. The

Friends of Del Norte has a long history of success safeguarding our environment in Del Norte County.

Kevin The EnvironHendrick mental Protection Information Center (EPIC) never shies away from holding government agencies accountable. I am glad to see they have intervened in the local Caltrans red-wood tree removal case.

The Lost Coast Outpost story quotes Tom Wheeler, the Executive Director and attorney for EPIC who criticized the “dark-of-night” project.

“I would like to have it be a transparent project that has avenues for public participation, that has a formal impact analysis and that has appropriate mitigation and minimization measures.

These are highly important trees culturally and ecologically and this project is kind of unfortunate.”

An Action Alert on the EPIC website (wildcalifornia.org) is asking people to “send an email to Caltrans District 1 Director Matthew Brady urging the agency to stop logging old growth red-woods in state parks and use a better process for the identification of potential hazard trees with special consideration for trees, like old-growth redwoods, which are irreplaceable.”

My hope is that when these government agencies get some feedback that they will take time to reflect and analyze how this project went sideways with the public that they serve. More importantly, they should consider how similar discretionary actions will be managed better in the future.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” The Lorax Kevin Hendrick is the Chair of the Del Norte County Democratic Central Committee - dndems@gmail.com

BALDWIN, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for AMERICAN ADVISORS GROUP as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1988 MALONE RD, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $66,976.21 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be

Public Notices 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.

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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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 CA07000901-22-1 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.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

CDFW Seeks Public Comment Related to Bumble Bees The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is seeking data and public comments on a petition to list the Crotch’s bumble bee, Franklin’s bumble bee, Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee and western bumble bee under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).

The Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii) is found between San Diego and Redding in a variety of habitats including open grasslands, shrublands, chaparral, desert margins including Joshua tree and creosote scrub, and

semi-urban settings. It is near endemic to California, with only a few records from Nevada and Mexico.

The Franklin’s bumble bee (Bombus franklini) has the smallest range of any bumble bee in North America, occurring only in northern California and southern Oregon.

In California, it historically occurred in Siskiyou and Trinity counties in grasslands and meadows ranging from 540 to 7,800 feet in elevation. It has not been observed in California since 1998 or in Oregon since 2006.

The western bumble bee (Bombus occidentalis occidentalis) ranges broadly from northern Mexico to central British Columbia, Canada.

In California, it historically occurred from sea level to over 8,000 feet and was found in a variety of habitat types including shrublands, chaparral, gardens and urban parks. It currently is observed in high elevation meadows, forests, riparian areas in the Sierra Nevada and Cascades as well as in coastal grasslands in northern California.

The Suckley’s cuckoo

bumble bee (Bombus suckleyi) is a nest parasite of the western bumble bee.

The range of the Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee is limited to a subset of its host’s range, though with a more montane distribution in the Cascades, with a possibility of occurrence in the Sierra Nevada based on limited historic records.

Threats to all these bumble bees include habitat loss, climate change, disease and exposure to pesticides. Small population size is also a potential threat to the Franklin’s bumble bee. For the Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee, threats include the decline of its host species.

In October 2018, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Defenders of Wildlife and Center for Food Safety submitted a petition to the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission) to list the Crotch’s, Franklin’s, Suckley’s cuckoo and western bumble bee species as Endangered under CESA. The Commission determined listing “may be warranted” and the species became candidates for listing on June 12, 2019. That listing was legally challenged and candidacy was stayed during much of the ensuing litigation. The

Commission’s decision was ultimately upheld and candidacy was reinstated on September 30, 2022. Thus, the Crotch’s, Franklin’s, Suckley’s cuckoo and western bumble bee species now have the same legal protection afforded to an endangered or threatened species (California Fish and Game Code [FGC] sections 2074.2 and 2085).

Over the next 12 months, CDFW will conduct a status review to inform the Commission’s final decision on whether to list the species under CESA. As part of the status review process, CDFW is soliciting information regarding the species’ ecology, genetics, life history, distribution, abundance, habitat, the degree and immediacy of threats to its reproduction or survival, the adequacy of existing management and recommendations for management of the species.

CDFW respectfully requests that data and comments be submitted before January 15, 2023. Please submit data and comments to CDFW by email at wildlifemgt@wildlife.ca.gov and include “Bumble bee” in the subject line. Data or comments may also be submitted by mail to California Department of Fish and Wildlife,

Wildlife Diversity Program, Attn: CESA Conservation Unit, P.O. Box 944209, Sacramento, CA 94244-2090.

CDFW will produce a peer reviewed report based upon the best scientific information available, which will include a recommendation as to whether the petitioned action is warranted (FGC section 2074.6). The report will be made publicly available on CDFW’s website for at least 30 days before the Commission considers acting on the petition. Please note, the Commission— which is a legally separate entity from CDFW—is charged with making the final determination on whether to list a species as endangered or threatened under CESA (FGC section 2075.5). CDFW serves in a scientific advisory role to the Commission during this process. See the California Fish and Game Commission webpage for details on submitting comments to the Commission and receiving email alerts for upcoming Commission meetings.

The listing petition, CDFW’s petition evaluation report and updates on the listing process are available on the Commission’s website.

Mountain Lion P-22 Euthanized Following Health Evaluation After receiving a comprehensive medical evaluation, CDFW has received a clear picture of the mountain lion P-22’s medical condition and overall health. He had several severe injuries and chronic health problems. Based on these factors, compassionate euthanasia under general anesthesia was unanimously recommended by the medical team at San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and CDFW officials made the decision to do so on Saturday, Dec. 17.

P-22 received a thorough diagnostic evaluation by the Safari Park’s wildlife health team, under general anesthesia. The extensive evaluation included a physical exam, organ function tests, infectious disease screening, ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scans of the skull, chest and abdomen.

The results of these tests and screenings showed significant trauma to the mountain lion’s head, right eye and internal organs, confirming the suspicion of recent injury,

such as a vehicle strike. The trauma to his internal organs would require invasive surgical repair.

The examination also revealed significant pre-existing illnesses, including irreversible kidney disease, chronic weight loss, extensive parasitic skin infection over his entire body and localized arthritis, all of which have led to the unfortunate deterioration in P-22’s overall condition.

P-22’s advanced age, combined with chronic, debilitating, life-shortening conditions and the clear need for extensive long-term veterinary intervention left P-22 with no hope for a positive outcome. His poor condition indicated that he may also have had additional underlying conditions not yet fully characterized by diagnostics.

The Safari Park wildlife care team consists of six veterinarians with additional board certification in zoologic medicine. Additionally, four veterinary specialists

(board certifications in ophthalmology, radiology and surgery) were consulted.

CDFW is not seeking information on a vehicle collision. This situation is not the fault of P-22, nor of a driver who may have hit him. Rather, it is an eventuality that arises from habitat loss and fragmentation, and it underscores the need for thoughtful construction of wildlife crossings and wellplanned spaces that provide wild animals room to roam.

On Thursday, Dec. 8, CDFW announced their intent to capture the world-famous mountain lion and bring him in for a health evaluation. On Monday Dec. 12, P-22 was captured by CDFW and National Park Service and brought in for evaluation. On Dec. 13, CDFW issued a FAQ document about P-22 and held a media briefing to provide an update on his condition.

CDFW wishes to thank our many partners. This has been a difficult journey for

Mountain lion P-22 has had an extraordinary life and captured the hearts of the people of Los Angeles and beyond. The most difficult, but compassionate choice was to respectfully minimize his suffering and stress by humanely ending his journey.

RJ

Age/Gender: 10 Years, Unknown

RJ is a curious and athletic boy who loves his walks. He is happy to lay with his human with his ball after a nice game of fetch. He is really into booty scratches and relaxing in the sun. RJ was selected to participate in Del Norte Humane Society’s Prison Paws Partnership!

He will go through good citizenship & basic obedience training.

Tavie

Tavie was brought in to our Snipped clinic but we haven’t been able to put the paperwork in order to determine their gender.

We have a wonderful volunteer that calls our cats by name and gives them treats, so it won’t be long before they are friendlier.

Hopefully soon they will be able to be picked up!
