Erosion worsens under Pebble Beach Drive BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Heavy rain and storm surge have eroded bluffs along Pebble Beach. Crescent City has closed through- traffic on iconic Pebble Beach Drive between 7th and 8th streets until further notice. Unusually heavy rainfall and storm surge tides along the Pacific continue to endure damage on the bluffs along Pebble Beach Drive and pose a vehicle safety hazard along this prominent route. City Manager Eric Wier said, “Public Safety is our primary concern. We ask pedestrians to respect the orange barriers blocking road access until the city deems it safe to return.” The recent history of coastal bluff stabilization goes back to December 2016. Wier related the city council took advantage of, in his words, “a once in a lifetime opportunity” to fund a bluff stabilization project along Pebble Beach Drive. Wier stated severe storms seven years back caused significant coastal banks damage from 6th Street north to Preston Island. The event prompted a funding request from the Federal Highways Administration, California Department of Transportation and local participation to restore Pebble Beach Drive. The breakdown of the funding is FHHA: 88 percent, California Transportation: nine percent and the city’s contribution of three percent to

Del Norte Wilson prepares to set the table New board chair seeks GOP condemns proactive rather than Hamas reactive governance BY ROGER GITLIN

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

At last Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, the Del Norte County Republican Central Committee addressed supervisors and delivered a support resolution, “Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric attacks launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” With four separate paragraphs, the resolution declares the following: • WHEREAS on October 7, rocket attack perpetrated by the terrorist organization, Hamas, began to hit major cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Within the hour, Hamas ﬁghters poured into Israeli territory. They viciously and cruelly targeted civilians, kidnapping, killing and leaving a trail of terror; and • WHEREAS the Hamas attacks have targeted Israeli Jews and Arabs undermining the peaceful coexistence and harmony that must undergird any resolution to the ongoing political conﬂict; and • WHEREAS the Committee recognizes the importance of supporting the State of Israel, a democratic nation

Upon assuming the gavel for the chairperson of the 2024 board of supervisors, Dean Wilson shared his thoughts on the need to address the strategic plan for Del Norte. His statement is attached. Chairman Wilson addressed his colleagues and the public in preparing the board to better serve county needs. Wilson referenced state funding and its $37.86 billion in deficit red ink as falling back on the counties. “We must be proactive rather than reactive in an effort to drive economic development.” Wilson spoke of how “we (Del Norte County) must set the table,” for the immediate future. At the December 29 board meeting, Assistant County Administrative Officer Randy Hooper addressed supervisors on the federal earmark update, after decades-long absence of earmark funding. Hooper shared the earmark program will be returning for fiscal year 2025. Here’s what might be on Chairman Wilson’s table: Bar O access project, community wayfinding program, county parking facility EV upgrade project, county workforce housing development feasibility study,

We support Starkey This letter is in support of Valerie Starkey, Supervisor, District 2 During our walks on the beach my husband and I started noticing a lot more graffiti, drug paraphernalia etc. particularly in the Preston Island area. We also noted cars camping overnight and it kept getting worse. We heard gunshots and a lot of trash dumping and fires So we became very concerned about what was going on in our neighborhood. One of our neighbors emailed Valerie. At first, she went down herself to see what was going on. Then she held a meeting inviting residents and law enforcement so they could hear from us what was happening to us. We heard from law enforcement what their limitations and issues are but, both sides were heard. A Neighborhood Watch was started, emails and who to call , what to do information was exchanged. And things started improving. Patrols were increased. The residents were empowered because they knew what to do so frustration diminished and we can communicate and work together. We feel safer in our neighborhood. So the outcome was good and is still ongoing. We found Valerie was interested in what was going on and any actions were taken very quickly and things were accomplished. She is a natural leader. They didn’t drag on for months in some committee. One of the best things about Valerie is the rapport she has with law enforcement. She is good at communicating and getting the work done. We saw a lot of respect both ways. She listens to her constituents and has been getting our neighborhoods safer and better lighted. We are very happy to have her serve in our district and will be voting and supporting the good work she has been doing so she can continue. Katherine and Andres Monreal Crescent City

IN MY VIEW

Can nature survive humans?

It seems like every week I read a story about an animal species that is threatened or endangered. In most cases humans are the cause. Either through negligence or intentional harm, humans have created an imbalance of our natural ecosystems. Habitats have been altered and the environment is often poisoned by human activities. Species will try to adapt to the changing environment, sometimes at the expense of other species. It is survival of the fittest in the wild kingdom. Nature can be harsh, but humans are the worst. There are limitations to how quickly a species can evolve to survive in a changing world. Sometimes humans must help correct the damage. Today, I will share stories of seals, condors, and eagles which all have their own unique challenges to survive.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

bounced back with the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972. Over time the species will adapt to this new threat. The seals that raise pups offshore will have a higher rate of survival. There may be consequences for the coyotes too. Marine mammals sit high on the food chain, so their tissues collect high concentrations of mercury which is emitted from coal fired power plants and deposited in the ocean. Humans have badly disrupted this ecosystem through willful extermination and negligent poisoning. El Condor Pasa Condors are facing similar impediments to their recovery as a species. The Yurok Tribe has initiated a program of breeding captive condors and reintroducing them into the Klamath basin, to repair past devastation of the species caused by errant humans. Even today, condors still face direct and indirect threats by people. In 1967, California condors were listed as endangered. In the 1980’s, California condor numbers reached a low of only 23 individuals worldwide. Intensive recovery and reintroduction efforts over the past three decades have brought the California condor population up to approximately 400 individuals. In 2022 a condor was shot and killed near Hollister, California. This callous disregard for life is beyond my ken. California condors are protected by the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Taking, shooting, injuring, or killing a condor are violations that can result in jail time and fines up to $250,000. Get The Lead Out Condors are also suffering from chronic lead

poisoning. According to a story in the Times Standard (10/27/23), “One of the condors reintroduced to the wild as part of a Yurok Tribe program required medical care after it ate part of a poached elk that had been shot with lead ammunition.” “Lead poisoning from ingestion of lead ammunition is the single largest threat to free-flying condors. Portions of the gut piles frequently contain high quantities of lead if lead bullets are used. A very small piece of lead is enough to make a scavenging animal ill and can even kill a condor or an eagle.” “In 2019, California banned lead bullets in hunting, but they are still used. Poachers who harvest game to feed their families should consider that lead is also toxic to humans. It is especially detrimental to developing children and through pregnant and nursing mothers to their babies and unborn fetuses.” Eagles Come Back I saw a bald eagle fly over my house last week and I wondered how rare that is. How many bald eagles are there in California? According to an article published by Wildlife Informer (2/7/21), “Bald eagles are looked at as America’s greatest conservation success story.” “At the founding of our country, there were around 100,000 in the lower 48 states, but habitat loss, hunting, and DDT toxicity decimated the bald eagle population down to 800 birds by the 1950’s and 60’s. Through concentrated conservation efforts and a ban on DDT, the eagles have made a comeback.” “The last large-scale studies on American Bald Eagle populations were done in 2007. At that time there were an estimated 30,000 birds in Alaska, and an additional 9,700 nesting

pairs in the lower 48 states. There are over 1000 bald eagles in California with the largest concentration of wintering eagles in the Klamath Basin.” Time to Clean Up It is concerning that the common thread through all three stories is the impact of man-made toxins on the decline of the health of these species. Banning DDT was a major factor in the recovery of the American Bald Eagle. Reducing mercury emissions and lead contamination should be equally effective actions that our society can take to maintain a healthier environment. Humans are the ultimate apex predator. We eat the same mercury laden fish that the seals eat and this detrimental chemical is also concentrated in our bodies. Reducing the use of lead bullets will be good for the condors, but also will reduce human exposure from eating game with lead fragments. We are not separate from the environment. We are a part of it, and it is a part of us. It’s past time that we clean up our act and stop polluting our environment. This will be good for seals, condors, eagles, and us.

A Word, Please: Hall of shame

By June Casagrande Good news, kind of. I discovered a new sentence structure I hate. It’s a pattern I see often but only recently, while editing an article, realized it belongs in my writing hall of shame. Why would I bother hating certain sentence structures, you may wonder? Well, the better structured your sentence, the better you can get your message across. So bad sentences are roadblocks to effective communication. In fact, this is what I love most about English grammar: It affords a mechanical understanding of how sentences perform — some of them like expertly engineered race cars, others like AMC Gremlins. So when a sentence is stalling and sputtering and straining, grammar is the toolbox you draw from as you fix it. Here’s an example of the sentence structure I just learned to hate: “There are lye-based products that clear debris out of pipes.” You may not see anything odious about that

perfectly common sentence structure. But when you compare it to a version that’s been revised by a professional editor, the problem becomes clear. Here’s the edited version: “Lye-based products clear debris out of pipes.” Looking at the two versions, you immediately see that “there are” is unnecessary. Just extra words. Worse, these words force you to add one more word: “that.” Instead of saying the products clear out debris, you must say these are products “that” clear out debris. So the structure creates a wordier-than-necessary sentence. True, shorter sentences aren’t always better. But they usually are. They make the best use of readers’ time and attention, wasting none of it on unnecessary words. But needless words aren’t the only problem with the longer sentence. A closer look at the syntax reveals deeper problems. In our revised version, the main clause has a tangible subject: lyebased products. Tangible subjects have a sensory

effect on readers, evoking images, sounds or smells. Lye evokes burning and stinging and danger and a certain power. Even pairing it up with a bland, vague noun like “products” doesn’t diminish its effect. In the original sentence, the subject was the pronoun “there.” Technically, this is called the “existential there,” which is just a structure we use to say something exists. As a subject, “there” is a real yawner — as devoid of specificity as a word can be. Existential “there” always uses a form of the verb “be,” in this case “are.” Forms of “be” are among the least-dynamic verbs you’ll find. Being is always less action-packed than doing. Yes, sometimes “there are” is the best wording, especially when your main point is that these things exist. But often, it’s a weak choice — much weaker than a motion-oriented verb like “clear” in “clear debris.” But perhaps the worst thing about this sentence structure is that, through the use of “that,” it

demotes the verb phrase “clear debris” to the status of an adjective. That’s the nature of relative clauses. A relative clause is any clause hinged on one of the relative pronouns — that, which, who or whom — and used to modify a noun. As you already know, that’s what adjectives do. They modify nouns. So relative clauses are adjective clauses. Consider “The car that I drove is in the parking lot.” The relative clause “that I drove” isn’t about driving, really, it’s about specifying which car you’re talking about. So it’s basically an adjective. If you want to keep your readers awake, avoid sentences that start with “there is” or “there are” — especially if a “that” clause comes later in the sentence. Instead, consider making the noun the subject of the sentence and taking out “that” to make the relative clause into a true verb.

Hooper cited the South Beach Community Wayfinder project may include elements of land acquisition, parking, restrooms and informational kiosks. Veterans Memorial Hall

may need to address ADA compliance and upgrades to the commercial kitchen. These projects can be researched and developed now, for timely earmark application in February.

Statement from board Chairman Dean Wilson I was shocked to have been selected to the position of Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and humbled at the unanimous support and vote. Upon reflection it could not have come at a better time as there are currently several projects the Board has been working on for the past year which will be coming to fruition this term. First and foremost is the Strategic Plan for Del Norte County. Our county has a budget of over $200 million with over 400 employees but has no strategic plan. No organization or business will be successful or stay in existence for long without a plan. I ran on the hopes that such a plan could be sought and would be developed. We will see on at the next board meeting a proposal for seeking a professional facilitator to help in the

process. This plan will set the table for how our county government will deal with the difficulties we are facing, shortages in staff, hiring, rising costs and state mandates. With the help of the public our Board will establish priorities and develop a plan of how to best meet our goals and objectives. How can we best provide the needed services to our community. I was tasked by the voters in District 5 to find a solution to the homeless encampments that have invaded their neighborhoods and the crime that has come with it. To that end we have sought funding to help develop a program that will dedicate an approved space for the homeless to shelter and stay, which in turn allows our law enforcement to clear out camps from

unauthorized locations. We are currently looking at model programs that have successfully worked to diminish the ill-effects of the homeless in our communities. I have been working with staff on looking at the development of South Beach and improving public access. As a board, we have to focus on the economic drivers of our community: Tourism, Fishing, Agriculture and Recreation, and fight hard for the rights of our citizens to earn a living in their chosen endeavors. This will be my focus in the coming year, and I hope the community will join in on this process. Thank you,

Dean Wilson, Chairman, Del Norte County Board of Supervisors

OBITUARIES Zana (Ender) Finley 5/23/1941 - 1/9/2024

Zana (Ender) Finley of Klamath, CA passed away in the evening hours of Tuesday, January 9, 2024. In her last days she was surrounded by children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and dear friends. She was a beloved member of the community who was well known for her kindness and generosity. In her final days, those around her shared many memories of this spirit. She was born to Augustine (Hernandez) Ender and Catherine (Chavez) Ender on May 23, 1941 in Fort Washakie, Wyoming on the Wind River Indian Reservation. After graduating from Browning High School on the Blackfeet Reservation she attended the University of Montana. During High School she worked at Snell Trading Post which led to her passion for Native Arts. For most of her adult life, she supported herself both with her own beadwork and by buying and selling the work of other Indigenous artists. She owned Kachina Trading Post in Oakland, California, sold at powwows and other cultural events and supplied other dealers. A member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, Zana was

passionate about advancing the rights of her people. In 1978, Zana participated in The Longest Walk, an effort to raise awareness about threats to tribal lands and water rights. She was one of a small number to complete the full walk from San Francisco to Washington D.C. She served as one of the organizers and was responsible for traveling to towns in advance of the walkers’ arrival to make the necessary arrangements. Most of her years were spent on the Yurok Reservation with her partner Frankie Erickson and their family. Together they fought for fishing rights, supported their family and were very involved in the tribal community. Their favorite time was spent at their “camp” in Shregon. She was preceded in death by her parents, Augustine and Catherine Ender of Lander, WY; her brother Augustine Ender Jr.; her partner Frankie Erickson of Klamath, CA; her grandson Willis “Weasel“ Mann of Fort Washakie, WY; and her cousin/ brother Greg Pacheco of Fort Washakie, WY. She is survived by her sister Zola Nichols (Costa) and family; her daughters Carla Schildt Mann (Jim-

my), Shannon Finley, and Theresia Erickson (Erika); her son Frank Erickson; her grandchildren Joshua “Boogie“ Mann, Brian Mann, Patrick Erickson, Jade Erickson and Bear Mueller; and her great grandchildren Kyler and Kimber Mann. After services for Zana in her cherished Redwoods of California and she will be brought home to her people in Wyoming for burial. A visitation will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 13, 2024 at Paul’s Chapel in Arcata, CA. The visitation will be followed by a celebration of life from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Blue Lake Casino in Blue Lake, CA. A traditional service will be held for Zana at Hudson’s Chapel in Lander, Wyoming at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, January 19th. A feast will take place immediately after the memorial service. She will be buried at Mount Hope Cemetery next to her grandson, Weasel. Zana’s family invites you to join them at these events to both celebrate her life and to pray for her as she makes her journey to be with her ancestors.

Jeeyoon Kim will bring her piano skills to Crescent City on January 27.

Pianist Jeeyoon Kim translates onstage in multimedia concert Jeeyoon Kim is many things, but above all she is a musician. To showcase who she is through her favored mode of expression, she will be appearing in Crescent City this month in a concert she composed to harmonize classical piano, poetry, and photography. The concert will be held on Saturday January 27, at 3:00 p.m., at Crescent Elk Auditorium, 994 G St., Crescent City. The name of the concert, “/si-úm/,” is a word Kim, a native Korean, made up from existing Korean syllables. “Si” (pronounced “shee”) is “poetry” and “úm” (pronounced “oom”) is the first part of “úmak,” which means “music.” This leads to her concert being called “poetry music.” Kim, who lives in Southern California, invented the word while creating the concert’s format, a program of classical piano woven with poetry, short stories of her memories, and black-andwhite photography. Each piece she plays will be preceded by her sharing a memory and reading one of 11 poems she commissioned or selected, with a background provided by one of 11 photos by photographer Allen Brown. The concert honors the various facets of Kim’s persona and her entry into the popularization of Korean culture in the United States, such as the rise of K-pop (Korean pop music) and K-beauty (Korean skin care routines). “I’m K-classic,” says Kim. The inclusion of poems, Kim’s first foray into a literary genre that intrigues her, was a lengthy process undertaken with painstaking care to pair each poem with musical pieces that she said “speak similar kind of emotions that I feel” when played. The photography was the final element to be worked into the concert, Kim says. “I felt there was glue needed, something to ‘hold a place’ for the

audience as it listens to the poetry and piano.” Kim said she loved that the photography practice — before the advent of digital cameras — was a “slow process” involving developing film and choosing which images to print, even decades later. The practice mirrored Kim’s two-year process to develop, edit and rehearse “/si-úm/,” orchestrating all the details but still leaving the end product open to the receiver’s interpretation. “My idea is that I started this project, but it’s completed from the audiences end,” she says. She added that she hopes audience members will record their thoughts about the music on the postcards she will have available to send to friends, thereby extending the concert’s reach. “Everybody’s creative,” she says. “You have to tap into it. Just start writing.”

For Kim, performing a concert is her gift to the audience that she experiences simultaneously. “It’s like unwrapping the present together,” she says. “I bring my story, hopefully that taps into your story. There is a magic taking place. It’s a growth experience.” Tickets start at $15, and are available at Del Norte Office Supply and online at DNACA.Eventbrite.com. You can also purchase Half-Season Tickets at those outlets. Through a grant from the County of Del Norte, Veterans are eligible for free Season Tickets.

bolster support for the bluffs and keep Pebble Beach Drive intact. The city project is estimated to be about $30 million for the its portion of bluffs’ stabilization. Over the seven years since Crescent City voted for participating in the coastal zone stabilization program, costs have predictably risen. In 2019, city staff and consultant estimates placed the preliminary engineering costs at $458,000 and another $3.9 million for construction. The city was originally approved to receive funds for $458,000. By 2020, the PE cost had risen to $1.1 million, creating a deﬁcit of over $651,000. Full funding of this project has yet to be secured. The city manager underscored the daunting challenge to stabilize Pebble Beach Drive. Councilors will continue to discuss funding options in an effort to keep Pebble Beach intact. In the meantime, the city urges caution and asks drivers to avoid this immediate area.

Ali is an energetic girl that would do best with a dog sibling. She’s in need of training, but is friendly, intelligent, and eager to please. She passed her kid and cat test, but needs a secured yard. She did go on an overnight field trip to the Sheriff’s Dispatch center and did very well (see video on our FB page). This cutie-pie is ready for a fresh start in her new home!

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS January 24, 2024 California Housing Finance Agency 500 Capitol Mall, Suite 1400 Sacramento, CA 95814 This Notice shall satisfy the above-cited two separate but related procedural notification requirements for activities to be undertaken by California Housing Finance Agency. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about February 9, 2024, California Housing Finance Agency will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the reservation of $16,375,000 in funds in Housing Finance Agency Risk-sharing: Section 542(c) program funds under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 1707) and Section 235 of HUD’s FY 2001 Appropriation Act, Public Law 106-377, as amended, to undertake a project known as Battery Point Apartments for the purpose of providing affordable housing. The Program provides new insurance authority independent of the National Housing Act. Section 542(c) provides credit enhancement for mortgages of multifamily housing projects whose loans are underwritten, processed, serviced, and disposed of by California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA). HUD and CalHFA share in the risk of the mortgage. Battery Point Apartments project proposes to develop 162 units of affordable housing on a 4.9-acre site comprised of two adjacent parcels (APNs 118-440-021000, and -022-000) with address unassigned, adjacent to 1050 E Street, in Crescent City, Del Norte County, California 95531. The site is currently vacant. The project will construct 121 units of family housing in a four- and five-story building with 144 parking spaces; and 41 units of senior housing in a fourstory building with 21 parking spaces. The unit mix will be 54 one-bedroom units, 63 two-bedroom units, 29 three-bedroom units and 16 four-bedroom units for a total of 162 residential units and 165 parking spaces. The project will be divided into three parcels - one with the affordable family apartments, and one with the affordable senior apartments. The third parcel will be dedicated to the City of Crescent City for the development of a public park (see figure below). The project will be constructed using steel modular units that will be manufactured offsite and assembled on-site. The project will be affordable to families and seniors earning between 30 and 70 percent of Del Norte County Area Median Income (AMI). The project includes the construction of off- and onsite improvements including extension of David Street, construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk; construction and extension of utilities as required for the project, including improvements and reconstruction in the public Right-of-Way; new construction of two bus stops; a lighted school crosswalk; and landscaping of the dog park. The total project cost is estimated to be $81,310,996. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT California Housing Finance Agency has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR). The ERR will be made available to the public for review electronically. Please submit your request by email to Elizabeth Brown, EABrown@CalHFA. ca.gov. The ERR can be accessed online at the following website: https://www.calhfa.ca.gov/ about/press/public-notice/ index.htm PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group or

agency may submit written comments on the ERR to California Housing Finance Agency, Attn: Elizabeth Brown, Loan Administrator, via email to EABrown@ CalHFA.ca.gov. All comments received on or before February 8, 2024, will be considered by California Housing Finance Agency prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION California Housing Finance Agency certifies to HUD that Tiena Johnson Hall, Executive Director, in her capacity as NEPA Certifying Officer, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows California Housing Finance Agency to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and California Housing Finance Agency’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of California Housing Finance Agency; (b) California Housing Finance Agency has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40n CFR Par 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be emailed to the HUD grant administration office at: MFW-Public-Notices@HUD. gov . Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Tiena Johnson Hall Executive Director and NEPA Certifying Officer Published: January 24, 2024.

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 fee 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 TENANT: You may have the 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 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, or visit this internet website: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS#23-3013, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the street 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. 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 the trustee’s information line at 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, or visit this Internet Website: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS #233013.

The Iron Gate Dam will be removed after water in the reservoir is reduced.

Iron Gate Reservoir drawdown begins By ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Last week, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2016, initiated the drawdown process by opening the low-level outlet tunnel in the Iron Gate dam. Drawdown of the JC Boyle and Copco reservoirs will begin next week. The process slowly

drains the reservoirs over several weeks. Communities downstream including Klamath will begin to start seeing changes in the coming days as an estimated 1720 million cubic yards of sediments at the three dams start being removed, according to the KRRC. The process of the drawdown is occurring under the watchful oversight of the Environmental Protec-

tion Agency and KRRC consultants. The EPA has determined the sediments to be non-toxic, consisting of dead algae, assorted gravels and fine clay particles. Mark Bransom, chief operating officer of the KRRC told The Triplicate, “The drawdown strategy is different than what people have seen in the past removal of other dams. There was no (explosive)

blast at this dam, instead we had the opportunity to use existing infrastructure which allows us to precisely control the volume of water going down river, limiting downstream impacts,” Bransom said. Water clarity will take approximately 24 months to return to pristine clarity. Dam(s) removal is expected to begin midyear and be completed by Autumn of 2024.

Hoyle, Carbajal introduce the DASH Act to tackle housing affordability and homelessness Last week, U.S. Representatives Val Hoyle (OR04) and Salud Carbajal (CA-24) introduced the Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All (DASH) Act, a companion bill to Senator Ron Wyden’s legislation in the Senate. This groundbreaking legislation aims to tackle homelessness and address the housing affordability crisis in Oregon and across the country. “I am proud to introduce the DASH Act which is a comprehensive bill that will help increase access to affordable housing for low- and middle-income families and take concrete steps to address homelessness. We have a housing crisis because there is a lack of available housing at all income levels and I’m proud to be introducing a bill to address that need. The DASH Act provides support and incentive to states and local communities to help provide needed housing solutions for families in Oregon’s Fourth Congressional District and across the state,” said Rep. Hoyle. The DASH Act addresses critical aspects of the housing crisis by: • Providing a pathway to increase access to middle income housing and take a much-needed step to address our housing stock. • Ensuring that families or individuals experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness have access to Housing Choice Vouchers. • Reforming local zoning and housing develop-

ment, which is vital for building affordable homes in America. • Providing innovative tax policies, helping investment in homeownership, providing rent support for low-income families, and constructing affordable housing nationwide. • Providing relief to families of diverse economic backgrounds by establishing the Middie Income Housing Tax Credit and strengthening the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. Given the record-low vacancy rates across Oregon, this legislation is needed to address the housing challenges facing the workforce. “In a nation as wealthy as ours, no child should grow up without a roof over their head. It’s clear that people experiencing homelessness need a lot more assistance than is currently provided,” Wyden said. “Taking proactive measures to prevent homelessness in the future not only alleviates individual suffering but also saves taxpayer dollars. That’s why I’m proud to have introduced the DASH Act, and why I’m happy to have a partner in the House like Rep. Hoyle in the fight to increase affordable housing supply, invest in services for unhoused people, and expand homeownership opportunities for working families.” “I hear from my Central Coast constituents every single day about their concerns with the rising costs of housing and the

lack of affordable options for them to live and raise a family. With a problem as big as our nation’s housing crisis, we need a big solution – and that’s why I’m proud to co-lead the DASH Act in Congress,” said Rep. Carbajal. “From strengthening tax credits for low income and middle-class households, to helping those experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, and much more – our legislation will help protect millions from losing their homes and help millions more put a roof over their head without breaking the bank.” “The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities is pleased to support the legislation sponsored by Congresswoman Val Hoyle (D-OR) that would expand the Housing Choice Voucher program and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to provide housing stability for our most underserved communities. This legislation would also provide public housing authorities with the necessary support and funding to continue administering vouchers to low-income renters and help address challenges with housing insecurity faced by the homeless population.” Sunia Zaterman, Executive Director of The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities. This bill would help build an estimated three million additional homes and has been endorsed by Enterprise Community Partners.

Climate changing: Research shows times for ‘prescribed burns’ in the West shifting By HAYDEN BLACKFORD Oregon Capital Chronicle

Deciding when and where to conduct prescribed burns is becoming increasingly important as the climate warms, and, according to a recent study, the timing and frequency of appropriate weather will also play a larger role. Prescribed burns are an essential tool land managers use in reducing fuel availability for extreme wildfires, and conditions favorable to prescribed burns will become far less frequent in much of the West, especially the Southwest, according to a study published in October 2023 in Communications Earth & Environment. However, the study found that parts of the northern Rocky Mountains will have more days to use prescribed burns, especially during the early and late winter months. “One of the reasons why some of the northern tiers of the U.S. become more favorable for prescribed fire at times in winter is actually because it gets warmer,” said Daniel Swain, lead author and climate scientist for the University of California, Los Angeles. “You’re actually warming into this acceptable envelope from being on the low end. In the southern parts of the U.S., you’re just already at the upper end of the envelope, and you’re getting even warmer and drier.” Though the study forecasts an overall decrease of days acceptable for prescribed fire — as much as a 25% to 31%, during the spring and summer months across the West — northern regions may see an increase in potential burn days during the winter. These opportunities are a silver lining of sorts, as any opportunities to burn forests with low-intensity fire are essential for keeping fuels off the forest floor and leaving larger trees unharmed, Swain said. “You can’t just broad brush the American West,” Swain said, of the variability of climate from state-to-state. The study found that if temperatures rose a modest 2 degrees Celsius by 2060, southern U.S. states could see their burn windows shrink by 17% overall. Wildfire conditions are rapidly worsening for parts of

Hayden Blackford/Daily Montanan

A prescribed burn on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in Montana on Oct. 19, 2023. central and Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico, Swain said. Prescribed burns are a risk intervention tool, and not only does prescribed fire reduce wildfire risk but in many places the ecosystem benefits from these fires, which are often less intense than wildfires spurred by climate change and years of fire suppression, Swain said. In a forest where land managers have historically suppressed fire, lower branches create ladder fuels, or fuels that give fire the ability to grow on the ground. And if a fire reaches the tree canopy, it becomes much more intense; it can even create its own weather. Mariah Leuschen-Longeran, the public affairs specialist for the Forest Service’s northern region, said that fire professionals and firefighters make comprehensive plans about where to burn, and they look for optimal weather conditions. One thing they pay close attention to is air quality. The Forest Service works with

local partners, such as the county or state, making them aware of the upcoming fire, she said. Additionally, communication with the National Weather Service plays a big part in the days and weeks leading up to a potential window. Burns require pre-planning that fits local outlines, goals and objectives, but ideally, they also align with larger projects’ goals, Leuschen-Longeran said. In the future, climate conditions could align for prescribed burns earlier in the year, depending on the snowpack, Leuschen-Longeran said. Opportunities may arise in the winter, especially on open slopes facing south — where direct sunlight hits. However, she said the agency follows air quality guidelines set by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. In the winter, accommodating prescribed burns produces its own challenges. And in Western Montana, it’s common for a

stagnant, low atmosphere to form, which would trap smoke, said Liz Ulrich, the planning supervisor at the DEQ’s Air Quality Bureau. The DEQ views small burns on private land very differently than the large-scale burns typically undertaken by government agencies. Ulrich said Montana has different regulations for the West than the East to accommodate regional differences that may impact air quality. In addition, for an entity like the Forest Service, the Montana, Idaho Airshed Database tracks potential burns. Even though forest conditions in Montana may align for prescribed burns, that doesn’t mean there will be an opportunity to conduct one since the State takes turns using weather windows in coordination with Idaho, Ulrich said. Working with Idaho is imperative because when they burn, the region’s dominant wind patterns often bring smoke further into

Montana, Ulrich said. The DEQ’s goal is to maintain a healthy airshed and to help mitigate wildfire danger, but the balance is becoming increasingly harder to find as wildfire season grows, she said. The agency is always looking for opportunities to approve burns, but they have had to adjust; when the fire season goes longer than usual, that can mean not approving burns, she said. “It is a little bit shorter of a season in the fall, and it is kind of shifting, but our regulations haven’t shifted,” Ulrich said. “We’re seeing the trend of wildfire season just being longer, and in turn, that opportunity for burning isn’t as long.” Daily Montanan and Oregon Capital Chronicle are part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity. Daily Montanan maintains editorial independence.

McGuire’s statement on Governor Newsom’s budget Senate President Designee Mike McGuire issued the following statement in response to Governor Newsom’s budget released last week: “We’ve all known this was going to be a challenging budget year. Governor

Newsom has shown a cautious approach and rightfully protected some of the most critical programs and services that benefit everyday Californians along with our most vulnerable families and seniors. We’re investing in our kids and

public schools, expanding green energy resources to meet our long-term energy needs, advancing desperately needed homelessness funding, and providing resources to combat retail theft and build more workforce affordable housing.

“The incredibly dedicated team of Senators on the Budget Committee will be working overtime in the coming months to advance our own budget plan and will deliver a balanced budget that protects the Golden State’s values and

priorities.” McGuire will be sworn in as the Senate President Pro Tem on February 5. “I’m grateful for this opportunity of a lifetime to lead the State Senate and continue the successful path blazed by Pro Tem

Toni Atkins. We have been working closely together over the past several months to deliver a seamless transition, and that includes our work together on this year’s budget. There’s much more work to come.”
