Wildfire crisis addressed


For The Triplicate
It’s a little late but crab season has finally started at the Crescent City Harbor.
Crabbers set down their pots last Tuesday afternoon and with good weather prevailing, there’ll be plenty of Dungeness crab coming to market soon. Prevailing rate for the crabbers is between $2.25 and $3 a pound. Crews with lots of smiles on their faces were busy loading pots on their vessels.
In other Harbor news, the Crescent City Harbor Commission conducted its bi-weekly meeting.
On the agenda, the commission appointed Brian Stone and Rick Shepherd to the Klamath Dam Ad Hoc Committee. Commissioner Harry Adams is the alternate. The Ad Hoc Committee will oversee anticipated silt buildup in the Harbor as a result of the removal of the four dams through Yurok Tribal lands.
Harbor Comptroller Thomas Zickergraf delivered recent financial figures to the commission. Current cash flow to date is $1.126 million less current expenses, leaving an approximate $800,000 balance. The comptroller predicted the commission will have a $1 million reserve by the end of the fiscal year, June 30. Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to submit an application to the California Department of Boating and Waterways, for boat ramp repair resulting from storm damage caused at Whaler Island. The grant is for $750,000 and the deadline to submit is February 1. The vote was unanimous.
Public comments from the audience asked the commission to request Coast Guard presence again. Another public speaker asked commissioners to take a position and send a letter to the Army Corps of Engineers sharing its position on securing the jetty from public access
$7.9 million for Yurok Youth Center
The Yurok Tribe received a $7.9 million grant from California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) to construct a much-needed Yurok Youth Center in Weitchpec.
“The new facility will serve as a one-stop location, where our youth will have access to the culturally informed services and self-empowering support they need to lead healthy, productive lives,” said Yurok Chairman Joseph L. James. “I would like to thank California Governor Gavin Newsom and CalHHS for investing in the future of the Yurok Tribe. This cutting-edge center will strengthen our youth, our families and our community for many generations to come.”

The Del Norte Walking group inaugurated its first walk Saturday morning.
About 40 walkers, many with their dogs, met at the Hiouchi Café and walked the .8 mile (1.6 mile roundtrip) trail connecting the Jed Smith Park and the Café.
The Trail was built on Tolowa Dee-ni’ heritage lands by National and State Parks and was officially dedicated this past December. The Trail provides a safe walking corridor, off the busy 199 and is canine-friendly.
The Del Norte Walking group organizes short hikes through Del Norte and Curry counties and welcomes walkers of all ages. For more information and additional events, call (707)951-6361.
On the first floor of the three-story, 4,320-square-foot building, there will be a calming space for youth, a pantry and an area for group events and classes. The second floor will consist of a private intake kiosk and several office spaces for Yurok Behavioral Health staff, professional therapists and external service providers. The top floor will include: a cultural classroom, game room, a computer station for virtual medical appointments as well as space for mutual support groups and parenting classes. An amphitheater and traditional sweathouse will be constructed outside of the youth center.
The conveniently located Yurok Youth Center will offer a wide variety of culturally centered services for local youth between 12 and 23-years-old. The services include: clinical services, outpatient treatment for substance use disorder, tutoring and school-linked healthcare services, such as individual and family therapy. Yurok Health and Human Services and other tribal departments will put on culturally relevant community

It has been more than three months since Arcata Police Department’s mishandling of a reported firearm threat to Fuente Nueva Charter School on Sept. 22.
Fuente Nueva Charter Director at Fuente Nueva Beth Wylie said that after the community meeting held on Oct. 3 regarding what had occurred on Sept. 22, “APD had reached out to provide the requested Diversity, Equity and Inclusion trainings held at their department.”
APD has also committed to hold an active shooter drill and active shooter training specific to Fuente Nueva sometime in April 2023.
“As a school we are exploring how we may follow up with next steps and are moving forward with the intention of finding a way to bring other schools and families into the discussion as the impacts of what occurred on Sept. 22 go beyond the Fuente Nueva community,” Wylie said.
When asked about parental reaction she said, “The primary feedback I have received is gratitude for the way the space was held for the difficult dialogue that took place.”
Wylie mentioned that there have been mixed reactions from parents where some felt confident in APD. However, some parents were left dissatisfied and frustrated about the experience that Kathy Zamora had with being investigated as the possible threat.
APD and Cal Poly Humboldt
APD Chief of Police Brian Ahearn said that the Fuente Nueva address and phone number has now been updated in their system. If a situation
were to arise at Fuente Nueva, APD would have the ability to call and notify the school.
Cal Poly Humboldt has yet to send out a correction for their email about what had occurred at Fuente Nueva on Sept. 22.
CPH Student involved Kathy Zamora, the Cal Poly Humboldt student at the center of the altercation on Sept. 22, has yet to file a complaint to the police and is still weighing her options.
Zamora plans on writing a letter to the University about the inaccurate email that was sent on Sept. 27 about what had happened to Zamora and Sept. 30 email about Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies program faculty receiving threatening packages. She questions as to why they send these emails.
“Are y’all [CPH] going to address that? Is it just to protect yourselves?” said Zamora.
At the time of publication on Nov. 1, nobody from CPH had reached out to Zamora since the first meeting on Sept. 27, where Kimberly White, representing CPH’s Provost (Senior Administrative Officer) attended.
El Leñador reached out to CPH MARCOM for a statement about the meetings that took place at Fuente Nueva and what the school is doing and was sent back the same email sent on Sept. 27.

wellness events and youth prevention activities at the center too. The Tribe has found that culture is a potent form of prevention and it will be embedded into all of the center’s operations. The building will also contain a legal clinic and a foster care office staffed by personnel who can help youth navigate the justice or foster care systems.
The youth center will be
built adjacent to the Libby Haripop Nix Community Center in Weitchpec, the most populated part of the upriver side of the Yurok Reservation. Hundreds of families reside in close proximity to the future facility. Currently, the only youth-serving centers are in Eureka, which is a two-hour drive from Weitchpec under ideal conditions. In the dark, rainy winter months, when depression and suicide risks increase, travelling to one of the Eureka healthcare sites can take much longer as a result of poor driving conditions.
Due to several interrelated factors, such as intergenerational and modern-day trauma, limited access to healthcare services and economic inequities, young members of the Yurok Tribe and many other tribes across
the United State experience behavioral health conditions far more frequently than their non-tribal counterparts. To begin addressing this issue, Yurok Health and Human Services (YHHS)
Suicide Prevention Program Manager Shoshoni
Gensaw-Hostler and former YHHS Clinician Alita Redner, in 2021, applied for and received a $150,000 grant from the California Department of Healthcare Services’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to start developing plans for the youth center project. In a few short months, they completed a feasibility study, obtained stakeholder feedback, identified a site for construction and developed the initial concepts for the facility.
With guidance from the Yurok Tribal Council, Yurok
Planning and Community Development Department
Grant Writer Ray Moisa and Gensaw Hostler completed the concept design for the new facility and secured the competitive $7,975,438 BHCIP award for the construction of the green-built center. Yurok tribal youth participated in every part of the decision-making process to ensure the project meets their unique needs. The advisory group will continue to be consulted on all center functions, ranging from the development of childcare services to individual case planning.
“It is extremely important for youth to have a meaningful say in the decisions that affect their lives. We want to empower local teens and young adults to become resilient, independent and successful adults,” Gensaw-Hostler said. “For many years, we have needed a youth center in the Weitchpec area and I’m so grateful it is finally going to be a reality.”
In the spring, the Yurok Tribe’s Per-Geesh Construction Corporation will begin building the new facility. The green building will be constructed with natural materials that are representative of the Tribe’s culture.
The Yurok Youth Center funding originated from California Governor Gavin Newsom’s $480.5 million investment in 54 projects to improve California’s behavioral health infrastructure for children and youth. Administered by the California Department of Healthcare Services’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program and part of Governor Newsom’s Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health, this historic investment provides grant funding to construct new facilities and expand existing facilities that help children, youth, transition-age youth, and perinatal individuals with a mental health and/or substance use disorder.
May 1, 1927 - January 14, 2023
Caroll Jean Day passed away Saturday, January 14, 2023, at the age of 95. She was born May 1, 1927, in Hagerman, Idaho to Fred and Helen Penfold. Her two older brothers, Fred Junior and Don were delighted to welcome a baby sister with bright red hair and hazel eyes. She was immediately the sweetheart of the family.
When Caroll was 2 years old our country sank into the Great Depression. She and her family lived on a dairy ranch where she learned the value of hard work. She had to help tend to the animals, do chores, and keep up with her brothers. In 1936, when Caroll was 9 years old it became evident that it was time to look for greener pastures, so her entire family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins moved west to Lebanon Oregon, where she attended local schools. She was a very active student, becoming a class officer, student body officer, cheerleader, as well as participating in both band and choir.
After high school Caroll moved on to Oregon State College. This was during World War 2 and the girls had most of the campus to themselves. In 1947
Caroll met the love of her life, Marvin Day. They were married on Nov 12, 1947, in Holley, Oregon. Their son Mike was born in Jan 1949, followed by a daughter, Debbie,
in 1951. Marvin and Caroll moved to Crescent City, CA in 1954 to join Marvin’s family and pursue work in the logging industry. When Debbie started Kindergarten Caroll was persuaded to start teaching on a provisional credential. She taught 4th grade at Pine Grove School and spent the next several summers completing her degree. She eventually moved to Bess Maxwell School where she taught 1st and 2nd grades until retirement. Caroll enjoyed many artistic endeavors.
She was very accomplished at watercolor, acrylics, charcoals, pen, and ink as well as pottery and sculpture. She loved reading, camping, swimming, water skiing, picnics with family and friends and taking trips in their RV.
Caroll was preceded in death by her husband Marvin Day, her parents Fred and Helen Penfold, her brothers Fred and Don Penfold, her son in law Steve Wakefield.
Caroll is survived by her children Mike (Pennie) Day and Debra Wakefield. Her whole world revolved around her grandchildren Ryan (Katie) Wakefield, Marc (Samantha) Wakefield, Matt (Deja) Wakefield, Kevin (Katie) Day, and Kyle (Haley) Day. In recent years

Coast Central Credit Union announced the completion by local artist Olivia Fox of a mural on a fenced enclosure in the parking lot of its Eureka Downtown location at 4th and F Streets. A project that began in September, the mural represents the organization’s longtime “People Helping People” approach of
substantial community giving through grants, sponsorships, college scholarships, and more.
To depict the various giving programs, the mural highlights notable scenes from the local community, including Coast Central employees cleaning beaches, a scholarship recipient graduating at Cal Poly Humboldt,
the CCCU-sponsored Bloodmobile near Eureka’s Waterfront, Old Town Eureka and more. The piece was the inspiration of Coast Central employee Payton Wills.
Coast Central President and CEO James Sessa stated, “In keeping with the wonderful murals recently added to buildings and utility
fixtures that beautify downtown Eureka, we are very proud to join in that effort. We’re especially excited to support a promising young artist who moved here for her education with plans to stay as part of our art community. We congratulate Olivia on an outstanding job.”
Students will be recognized on the 3rd and 4th Friday of each month

Moab, Utah, gets just eight inches of rain per year, yet rainwater flooded John Weisheit’s basement last summer. Extremes are common in a desert: Rain and snow are rare, and a deluge can cause flooding.
Weisheit, 68, co-director of Living Rivers and a former Colorado River guide, has long warned the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation that its two biggest dams on the Colorado River could become useless because of prolonged drought.
Although recently, at a BuRec conference, he also warned that “atmospheric rivers” could overtop both dams, demolishing them and causing widespread flooding.
Weisheit points to BuRec research by Robert Swain in 2004, showing an 1884 spring runoff that delivered two years’ worth of Colorado River flows in just four months.
California well knows the damage that long, narrow corridors of water vapor — atmospheric rivers — can do. Starting in December, one atmospheric storm followed another over the state, dumping water and snow on already saturated ground.
The multiple storms moved fast, sometimes over 60 miles per hour, and they quickly dropped their load. Atmospheric rivers can carry water vapor equal to 27 Mississippi Rivers. These storms happen every year, but what makes them feel new is their ferocity, which some scientists blame on climate change warming the oceans and heating the air to make more powerful storms.
In California, overwhelmed storm drains sent polluted water to the sea. Roads became waterways, sinkholes opened up to capture cars and their drivers, and houses flooded. At least 22 people died.
Where do these fast-moving storms come from? Mostly north and south of Hawaii, then they barrel directly towards California and into the central West, says F. Martin Ralph, who directs the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
“Forty percent of the snowpack in the upper Colorado in the winter is from atmospheric river storms penetrating that far inland,” he adds.
The real risk is when storms stack up as they did in California. That happened in spades during the winter of 1861-1862, in the middle of a decade-long drought, when the West endured 44 days of rain and wet snow. California Governor-elect Leland Stanford rowed to a soggy oath-of-office ceremony in flooded Sacramento, just before fleeing with state leaders to San Francisco.
Water covered California’s inland valley for three months, and paddle wheel steamers navigated over submerged farmlands and inland towns. The state went bankrupt, and its economy collapsed as mining and farming operations were bogged down, one quarter of livestock drowned or starved, and 4000 people died.
In Utah that winter, John Doyle Lee chronicled the washing away of the town of Santa Clara along the tiny Santa Clara River near St. George. Buildings and farms floated away leaving only a single wall of a rock fort that townspeople had built on high ground.
Weisheit knows this history well because he’s been part of a team of “paleoflood” investigators, a group of scientists and river experts. To document just how high floodwaters rose in the past, researchers climb valley walls. The Journal of Hydrology says they seek “fine grained sediments, mainly sand.”
It’s a peculiar science, searching for sand bars and driftwood perched 60 feet above the river.
The Green River contributes roughly half the water that’s in the Lower Colorado River, and in 2005, Weisheit and other investigators found six flood sites along the Green River near Moab, Utah. Weisheit says several sites showed the river running at 275,000 cubic feet per second (cfs).
If the Green River merged with the Colorado River, also at flood, the Colorado River would carry almost five times more water than the 120,000 cfs that barreled into Glen Canyon Dam, some 160 miles below Moab, in 1984. That epic runoff nearly wiped out Glen Canyon Dam.
Now that we’ve remembered the damage that atmospheric river storms can do, Weisheit believes that Bureau of Reclamation must tear down Glen Canyon — now.
He likes to quote Western historian Patty Limerick, who told the Bureau of Reclamation, at a University of Utah conference in 2007, what she really thought: “The Bureau can only handle little droughts and little floods. When the big ones arrive, the system will fail.”

This letter is in response to the events of the town supervisors’ meeting approximately one month ago. During this meeting, funding was denied to the Del Norte County LGBTQ Resource Project. This project is geared towards addressing the needs of LGBTQ community members, and especially
It’s always a pleasure to announce good news… Often the good news is too little to report these days. The iconic bakery and Café, Glen’s on 3rd operated as a great breakfast/ brunch and bakery from 19642009 by Ray and Roberta Young. The Youngs sold the business and property to 32 year resident Del Norter Keven Bingham in 2014. Bingham’s boyhood dream was to acquire Glen’s (named after the Young’s son).
The dream almost nearly evaporated, became more than a challenge as Keven and staff began the arduous process of renovating this relic.
Keven faced formidable and in some cases insurmount-a ble obstacles in financing, modernizing and most of all, meeting State Environmental Health standards.
Sewer, plumbing, electrical. HVAC
and new roofing were mandated and exceeded $100,000. Purchase of new stateof-the art appliances was another $75,000. The pit of needs to renovate Glen’s seemed bottomless.
Bingham stated, “ Re-opening Glen’s faced many obstacles but we never, never gave up.” Kevin was quick to share his gratitude to the City and the County, the patient public and dedicated contractors who’ve supported him over the years. The public purchased his famous cookies from the Rite-Aide parking lot on week-ends.
The plan is to finish drywall work by the end of February.
Future funding may be on the horizon.
City Manager Eric Wier met recently with the Arcata Economic Development Corportation and reported Glen’s on 3rd has been awarded the prestigeous honor
of being selected the recipient representative at the annual State Economic Summit.
Bingham’s plan is to open the coffee house, bakery and full espresso services by mid to late Spring. By late Summer, full restaurant services will, alas, resume.
Roger GitlinAllow me to recognize all all in our community who’ve supported Glen’s reopening, and especially recognize Kevin Bingham for his intestinal fortitude in never giving up. Bravo!
Roger Gitlin is a retired two term Supervisor. He resides in Crescent City.
I find myself in the uncommon position of almost agreeing with Roger Gitlin on one thing.
Embedded in Gitlin’s last column, “A
Failure to Communicate” is a salient point.
I will get to that in a bit but first I want to comment on his one-sided interpretation of an incident at a recent Board of Supervisors’ meeting. Gitlin criticized the new Chair of the County Board of Supervisors for exercising his authority to have an unruly member of the public ejected after he disrupted that meeting.
What Gitlin neglected to explain is that this same individual had been causing turmoil at prior meetings and this had been tolerated for some time. It is entirely in the discretion of the presiding officer to have a member of the audience removed if they are not following the rules of public participation. While I support affording members of the public an opportunity to comment on government decisions before votes are taken, there are rules of decorum that must be adhered to. When it is their turn, they can step up to the podium and make their statement. When their time is up, they should sit down and give the next person a chance to speak.
People have a right to provide a 3-minute comment on any item that is listed on the agenda. At the beginning of the meeting there is a time to make general public comments on subjects that are not on the agenda. The Chair of the meeting has the discretion, but not the requirement to allow more time.
Public comment time is not a question-and-answer period. Supervisors may answer questions during public comments, but they have no obligation to do so. It is incumbent on citizens to read the information provided ahead of time. They can ask questions before or after the meeting.
These are the rules and Gitlin should
know this. He served two terms as a County Supervisor and the rules have not changed since then. The problem with noncompliance is that one person can dominate a meeting and be a distraction from the business at hand.
I have a few thoughts about public comments and the consent calendar.
On the agenda for the January 10 meeting of the Board of Supervisors there were 13 separate decisions that were listed on the consent calendar. This is done regularly for routine decisions upon which there is most likely a consensus. This includes approval of minutes from prior meetings, resolutions, proclamations, contracts, and employee matters. Even though there may be 13 different decisions, all the items on the consent calendar are approved with one vote.
I believe that this is done as a method for efficiently dispatching decisions and not a conspiracy to intentionally deny the public’s right to comment. If any decision requires more discussion, any member of the Board of Supervisors can pull an item from the consent calendar for more scrutiny. A separate vote can be taken.
Unfortunately, this option to pull an item from the consent calendar is not provided to any constituent who wants to provide more specific testimony. Without this accommodation, the public is effectively deprived of their protected right to have 3 minutes to comment on all agenda items.
This is the point where I come close to agreement with Gitlin. Having decisions listed on the consent calendar can shortchange public participation if a person only gets 3 minutes to comment on 13 items. This breaks down to about 14 seconds per topic. This is an unreasonable expectation. This problem could be ameliorated if any member of the public could request to pull a specific item from the consent calendar to provide more detailed input. Not
only would this be fair accommodation, this may be required by law.
The “controversial” decision that was the focus of the kerfuffle on January 10th, was approval of a grant subaward from Del Norte County to the Del Norte County Office of Education. This grant will provide $2.5 million over the next four years to provide student mental health services. I commend the County for securing these funds.
The source of the grant is the state funded Mental Health Student Services Act which “provides grants for partnerships between county mental health agencies and local education agencies to deliver schoolbased mental health services to young people and their families. These partnerships support outreach to identify early signs of unmet mental health needs, reduce stigma and discrimination, and prevent unmet mental health needs from becoming severe and disabling.”
These services are needed for students struggling with depression, stress and other mental health issues. There is a dearth of mental health services for all ages in our county. This funding will allow the School District to hire mental health professionals and to engage families in youth mental health services.
This seems like a no brainer to me. I cannot see any reason to object to this program, but I will defend the right for any person to object to any proposed action they disagree with, in three minutes or less.
This week Writers on the Range explores the possibility of dangerous flooding in the Colorado River Basin. But there’s something more to think about: What if the U.S. Agriculture Department’s forecasting weather mechanism has a giant blind spot?
SNOTEL, an automated system of snowpack measurement, is run by the Agriculture Department to monitor water levels during the winter. Almost all its sites are located at high elevations.
adolescents, who suffer from unparalleled suicide rates and lack of services. The reasoning given by supervisor Chris Howard for not voting to fund the project was that the fiscal sponsor, Queer Humboldt, stated on their website that they are against systems that are settler colonialist. Howard asked what dismantling settler colonialism would mean, and implied that
Three years ago, on Feb. 20, 2020, Durango journalist Jonathan Romeo, reported that the nearby San Juan Mountains registered an “average” snowpack. Mid and lower elevations, however, were bare, “with no measurable snowpack.” That year, “average” wasn’t a helpful predictor as runoff was only 54% of normal, due to a hot May and not enough “low snow.”
The SNOTEL sites in Colorado range from mid-8,000 feet of elevation up to the mid11,000s. McClure Pass, eleva-
this would be an undesirable prospect in any case.
As an answer to supervisor Howard’s confusion about what dismantling settler-colonialism means, I wish to first define settler colonialism from a google search using Oxford: Settler Colonialism: a type of colonialism in which the indigenous peoples of a colonized region are displaced by the settlers who
tion 8,774, near my hometown of Paonia, shows 15.1 inches of water equivalent, which is 170% of normal.
Overall, the snowpack for the Colorado River Basin is 135% of normal. A recent series of storms illustrate that. Jeff Givens, who’s known locally as the “Durango Weather Guy,” reported 49 inches of snow in his neighborhood of Durango West, which sits at 7600 feet of elevation, after snowstorms January 17 and 19. But measurements in nearby Silverton at 9,200 feet, only 40 miles away, show that

Now that the definition is clear, I wish to share the process of decolonialization, taken from the book Ka’m-t’em, a journey towards healing, by Kishan Lara-Cooper and Walter J. Lara Sr. (2019). I found this book while working for the Del Norte schools as it is provided by the Yurok Tribe
to each school library. They state: “…(these are) decolonization strategies as the antidote to colonialization:
Language and culture restoration; renewed assertion of land, cultural, and human rights; a return to traditional governance; food sovereignty and security; revival of ceremony and spiritual practices; truth-telling and the revision of settler-history; and return
only 20.5 inches fell. Durango Weather Guy’s predictions this year have all come with the notice: “We’re seeing greater accumulations at mid and lower elevations than high.” Given there is a huge amount of low and mid-elevation terrain and lots of snow, raises chances for a big spring flood.

to traditional healing practice (from forward).
Which aspects of this process of decolonization is a threat to our board of supervisors? The consequences of not funding the project are tragic and real. The board voted wrongly and unethically.

ET UX, RECORDED JANUARY 20, 1970, IN BOOK 146 OF OFFICIAL RECORDS, PAGE 611, DEL NORTE COUNTY RECORDS. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 740 VIPOND DR, 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 held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses, and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $219,296.09.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned
of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 105807-CA. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT:
Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 105807-CA 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.

On January 19, Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced expanded efforts to reduce wildfire risk across the western U.S. Over 900,000 acres of the Shasta-Trinity and Six Rivers National Forests are now designated as priority landscapes. This designation means that funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Law (IRL) is available to support wildfire risk reduction treatments around
high-risk communities in Trinity, Humboldt, Shasta, and Siskiyou Counties.
Since releasing its Wildfire Crisis Strategy one year ago, the Forest Service and its partners have used the best available science and data to identify the highest-risk landscapes for treatment projects. Over 80% of the wildfire risk to communities is concentrated in less than 10% of “firesheds,” or areas where wildfires are likely to threaten communities and
infrastructure.
“The threat of wildfire has become the top concern for Northern California residents who reside in the rural areas within our beautiful landscape,” said Six Rivers National Forest Supervisor Ted McArthur. “This funding allows us to do the work needed on the ground to reduce risk around our rural communities and all the people who call these communities home.”
“We understand the critical
nature of our landscapes and the related impacts to our communities. This funding directly supports our risk reduction treatments in a manner that will promote forest health and resilience,” said Rachel Birkey, Shasta-Trinity National Forest Supervisor.
“We look forward to working
closely with our partners and communities to implement these projects. Our work would not be possible without their tremendous support.”

Since the storms arrived on December 30, more than 5,000 PG&E employees worked day and night to safely and quickly restore power. Hundreds more worked behind the scenes to help coordinate relief efforts. In total, our crews restored power to nearly 3 million customers.
But we didn’t do it alone. Crews from across the country and Canada came to help our customers. And first responders—police, fire, and medical—and community partners like the Red Cross, local food banks, 211, and many others worked to support our crews and keep our customers safe. As the days wore on and the storms kept raging, responders didn’t stop until the job was done. We are truly grateful for the sacrifice, tenacity and endurance of all those who worked with us.
We understand how important electricity is to keeping you and your family safe in the winter months, and we will always work tirelessly to restore your power. And now, as communities begin to rebuild, we stand ready again to help you in any way we can.
5,000 PG&E crews worked with mutual aid from
12 other utilities that sent
2,200 people from across the country and Canada to restore power to nearly
3 million customers
Californians showed that teamwork, courage and compassion were stronger than a 100-year storm. Thank you.
