Walgreens to close Crescent City store March 1

BY ROGER GITLIN

For The Triplicate

Walgreens Crescent City will be permanently closing its store the end of this month.

Despite the news, opportunities at the site abound.

Walgreens announcement from its corporate headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois was general and non-specific in justifying the closure of the Crescent City Store which opened in late December 2008.

Walgreens situate between the 101 at 8th Street. Decades back, the iconic restaurants, Punky’s Hamburgers and McKevy’s drive-in were located at the current location. Walgreens statement reads: “…

When faced with the difficult task of closing a location, several factors

are taken into account including the dynamics of the local market and changes in the buying habits of patients and customers…patients need not take any action. (Walgreens) automatically sends patients’ files to the nearest Walgreens location.”

The chain has closed an estimated 750 stores in the last three years, nationally.

Commercial real estate broker Kurt Stremberg sees the Walgreens closing as “…one door closes and another door opens.”

Stremberg shared his enthusiasm for an In’n Out food-type business or franchise and cited the 8th and 101 traffic affording unique access for both north and southbound traffic as a decided economic advantage.

The store closes Wednesday, March 1.

Crescent City is now in the art gallery business after the city council voted to allocate $10,000 to display the life works of eclectic Ukrainianborn artist/sculptor and former Crescent City resident Val Polyanin.

The city accepted the Hambros

donation of 914 items for future possible economic development, last June. Hambros found itself with the avant-garde art after terminating leasehold agreements with a tenants on 101 South.

Councilors were presented four options via a power point presentation by City Economic Development Director Ashley Taylor.

• Option One, proceed with hiring a videographer, art researcher, curator and marketing consultant. Utilize cityowned vacant Bank of America bldg.

Cost: $28,000

• Option Two, utilize the bank building for displaying to the public the avant-garde art at the First Friday event starting in May through October. The event would be open to the public.

• Option Three, store the art only. No public viewing. No staff deployment.

• Option Four, direct staff as necessary and appropriate.

The City Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is part of the 2016 Strategic Plan. Councilor support came from Mayor Pro Tem Blake Inscore, Councilor Jason Greenough and Mayor Isaiah Wright, calling the Proposal “a recipe for tourism.”

Councilor Kelly Schellong questioned why the city was involving itself on this item and emphatic in not wishing to deploy city staff. Councilor Ray Altman stated he regretted supporting city acquisition of the items.

Councilors selected option four with parts of option two and allocated the funding to organize a First Friday event to display the art. The funds were broken down as: $6,500 existing CEDS funding.

$1,500 community donations.

$2,000 new approved city funding. The motion was made by Inscore, seconded by Greenough and supported by Mayor Wright. Councilors Altman and Schellong dissented.

For the time being the city is going to “ Show it.” After, October the city may have to stow it.

Ashley Taylor and volunteer staff began the task of organizing the six month event, immediately.

From page A1

Naming this antique vehicle Otley from the movie CARS, Stretch went to work on bringing this 97-year-Strold relic back to life. To understand perspective of Otley’s history, Calvin Coolidge was president, Alcatraz was not conceived and Al Capone was making his mark in bootleging when Otley was originally built during the Roarin’ 20s.

Watching 6’7 Stretch climb into the cab of Otley was something to marvel. Stretch stretched without a can opener and fired up the little four cylinder mill.

Uncle Joe, at zero cost to Stretch, offered advice, lots of wisdom and patience and a roof over Otley’s body. It’s been a 10 month work in progress for Stretch.

The level of gratitude and appreciation for retiring Uncle Joe Wilson is palpable.

By RICHARD KNIGHT

High on a mesa where everyone can see it, a trophy house is going up in the northern Colorado valley where I live. Some of my neighbors hear that the house will be as big as 15,000 square feet. Others say it will take three years to complete.

Whether that is valley gossip or truth, the house is now the center of everybody’s attention.

Until this happened, my valley seemed to offer much of the best of what Colorado has to offer, including views of a snow-capped mountain range, and spread out below, irrigated hayfields with black cows on tan rangeland.

But now, right in the center of the valley, will be one person acting out a lack of consideration for others.

Gigantic trophy houses seem to signal, “I built here to see, but also to be seen.” It’s a jarring reminder that we in the New West are remaking the Old West in our own image, a job that apparently requires a drastic redoing of topography.

These big homes seem to follow a pattern of complicated rooflines, lots of windows that reflect the light and “ego gates” at the beginning of driveways.

Most of us in this valley delight in what we’ve been able to see from our front door: Uninterrupted ridgelines, cliffs, and the rounded slopes that converge to make foothills, which then rise into mountains.

Nature made these views, and we’ve been fortunate to have them in our lives every day.

But more and more, houses that resemble castles are sprouting on ridgelines and hilltops, here and all over the mountains.

And sometimes it’s ordinary houses or trailers that get built on ridgelines, interrupting the natural flow of the land.

Where only a few years ago our eyes might find comfort in tracing a ridge’s backbone — wondering how it got to be named White Pine Mountain when no white pines grow there — now we look at manmade structures that irritate the eyes.

People who have lived in my valley for decades share a different style.

Appreciating what a winter wind can do to steal warmth from inside a house, they looked for sheltered areas to build.

They saw it made sense to build low, tucking a home against the south side of a hill or cliff.

Most yard lights were few and hard to see, as were their homes.

But the new Western lifestyle broadcasts yard lights at night for all to see, just as the homes are conspicuously visible during the day.

In this newfangled West that has “ranched the view,” people apparently need to stand out to enjoy an amenity lifestyle. Will these new folk ever take time to appreciate the human and natural histories of the place they live in now, to show respect for the land and its natural beauty? Will they learn to be considerate of neighbors and not take away from the views that define where we live?

It’s shameful to think that just as we first moved into the West to exploit its valuable resources, we now exploit the last resource our region has to offer — its heart-stopping beauty.

There is some good news, because in many parts of the West we are learning how to sustainably log, graze, divert water and develop energy.

I hope it’s not too late for us to also realize the value of fitting into the land as residents, to keep intact our ridgelines, mesas, mountains and valley floors. Once a house caps a hilltop, however, that view is irretrievable, gone forever.

I hope we can learn how to value homes that blend with the land in shape, color and location. Maybe a new generation of home builders, architects, and developers will lead the way in paying due respect to our region’s natural beauty.

But I’m afraid that it’s too late for our valley. The great writer Wallace Stegner told us that the task of Westerners was to build a society to match the scenery. From what I see, we’re not doing the job.

letter to the editor

Very disappointing

I was quite dismayed to read in my local newspaper (on the front page!), what appears to be a smear campaign. Instead of a great story about our cat shelter receiving a grant to help provide “profoundly needed low-cost spay and neuter services” the article begins with allegations regarding questionable practices being levelled against one of the veterinarians who provide those profoundly needed services. While the article calls out that veterinarian by name and business, it fails to state the source of said allegations.

I also noticed the emotional term “deflected” used repeatedly. If the writer really wanted to know what the Tribes knew he should have contacted them directly for response. It is probably a moot point. I know it would be if this were Cherokee land. Also, out of the hundreds and hundreds of successful alterations, how many complaints exist?

Setting the Record Straight

Providing verified accurate information is something that I strive for each week. If I am going to express an opinion on a subject, I want to also provide the facts to back it up.

I made a mistake a couple weeks ago when I criticized Roger Gitlin’s reaction to an incident at the January 10 meeting of the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors. I relied only on the information that was provided in Gitlin’s commentary.

I stated in my column that an unruly member of the public was “ejected” from the meeting. This was an inaccurate statement that I based on my interpretation of Gitlin’s reporting.

After submitting my column, I watched the recording of the meeting and got a more complete picture of what happened. Gitlin reported that the chair had the sheriff deputies clear the chambers and the speaker was escorted from the dais. This is true but fails to tell the full story.

What Gitlin neglected to mention is that after the cool down period, the same speaker was allowed to continue to comment on other agenda items. But this detail does not support Gitlin’s grievance about a citizen’s rights being abridged.

One thing I realized from this experience is that I must watch the recording of a meeting to be better informed

Eye on Del Norte

before commenting. I also know that attending a meeting in person is far more illuminating. Rather than only seeing what the camera shows you, you can see the reaction and even hear the side commentary from all those in attendance.

One way that I can judge a good reporter is when they write a story about a meeting that I attended. Because I was there, I can more easily evaluate the capacity of a reporter to write truthful, objective stories.

Since Gitlin has been writing stories as a reporter for the Triplicate, I have been able to use this litmus test more than once.

On January 27, the Triplicate published a story written by Roger Gitlin about a Harbor District meeting that I also attended. Gitlin reported that the Commissioners approved an application for a $750,000 grant “for boat ramp repair resulting from storm damage at Whaler Island.” This is incorrect. Though the words “ramp repair” are in the name of the grant program, this is not what the grant will be used for.

The agenda for the January 17 Harbor Commission meeting clearly stated the grant was to “address damage to the Whaler Island Groin.” What they were referring to is the rock “jetty” that sticks out to the east of Whalers Island. The high waves and storm surge had punched a big gap in the

groin, allowing waves to flow though unimpeded.

When it is intact, this groin reduces the impacts of waves to the adjacent parking lot and the boat ramp in the recreational boat basin. What I heard at the meeting was concern that if this groin was not rebuilt, the next storm could wash over the parking lot and might damage the boat ramp. This may have been the cause for Gitlin’s confusion.

What could have been reported from this meeting is that almost two weeks after this January 5th storm, the Board of Supervisors had not yet declared a state of emergency for our county. This would have made it much easier to find funding to repair this storm damage. At that time every other county on the California coast had declared an emergency, but not our county. This emergency was eventually declared by the County Director of Emergency Services on January 18 and ratified by the Supervisors on January 24.

I can’t blame a reporter for not writing about everything that happens at a meeting, but if they choose a topic, it is incumbent on them to get the details right. When a reporter starts providing incorrect information about a meeting I was at, it makes me doubt the reliability of information presented in other stories.

News sources must be an-

chored by impartiality and credibility to be of any practical use for our community. If Gitlin continues to write news for the Triplicate, I hope he will try harder to prevent his personal biases from infecting the stories that he writes and will be more diligent to ensure the specific story details are correct.

In his weekly column, I accept that he can say any outrageous thing he wants. His column is provided as an opinion, not as truth. However, if a story is presented as news, we should expect precise, honest reporting.

It seems the best I can do is provide balance and an occasional correction of Gitlin’s reporting to set the record straight. This might keep me busy. In the last Triplicate, Gitlin had four “news” stories and I have issues with three. I am not sure I can keep up with only one column per week. If readers want to correct misinformation in a news story, send a short “letter to the editor.” It might get published.

Full Disclosure is ALWAYS the right choice

Last week, The Triplicate published a spay / neuter allegation practice which was conducted and overseen by an unlicensed complaint-revoked licensee veterinarian. The complaints came from several pet owners who recently had their pets spayed or neutered by Neuter Scooters, a mobile spay/ neuter clinic. They expressed their displeasure which included improper use of controlled substances and flawed surgery on their pets. Many affected incurred additional corrective surgery costs on their cat or dog.

No one disputes the dire need for low cost spay and neuter service but the veterinarians of these services must be qualified to practice and in good standing with the State in which each is licensed. Full Disclosure of vets’ license history must be disclosed to the pet owner.

These questionable practices were performed on Tribal lands with implied sovereignty to proceed. It is and remains unclear if Tribal government were advised of veterinarians licensure. This disturbing story demands additional scrutiny. Who can do what to your

pets without proper licensure? I conducted an interview with Humane Society Del Norte president Danielle Larsen, an interview fraught with deflection, deception, absence of disclosure and lack of candor.

Full Disclosure is always the right choice. Ms. Larsen declared she has professionally known the veterinarian in question, Tess Peavy for 21 years. When asked if Peavy’s license to practice had been revoked in Oregon and denied in California, Larsen declared she was not aware of Peavy’s status and deflected the intent of my question by stating discount spaying and neutering services were conducted on Tribal lands in December, January and last week in Hoopa. The implication is clear: the standards of practice onTribal lands did not meet the standards in the Golden State. Ms. Larsen’s response lacked even a crumb of credibility. When asked if the Tolowa, Elk Valley Rancheria or Yurok were even aware of the qualified veterinarian deficiency, Larsen’s response was guarded.Peavy, in-fact, isnot licensed in Oregon or California. Larsen

declared licensure ignorance but stated Peavy was licensed in Ohio and Indiana, another superfluous deflection.

The Humane Society Del Norte was recently awarded a $385,200 spay / neuter grant from California for All Animals, a UC Davis-funded grant. The first installment of $128,000 was delivered to the Humane Society, in early January.

Questions linger:

Why hasn’t the Humane Society utilized the services of the three licensed vets in Del Norte County or the two licensed vets in Curry County?

The question of funding from the Humane Society to the unlicensed PUB VET Dr. Peavy must be carefully examined by the grantor, California for All Animals.

Is the Humane Society skirting ethical standards to allow the unlicensed to practice veterinary medicine ?

Disclosure is parsed out sparingly and the public has every right to know how these funds are being dispersed and if the spay / neuter vets are properly licensed by governing boards and the Drug Enforcement Agency which oversees

the use of controlled substances.

Full Disclosure is imperative.

It is disheartening to observe aggressive attacks on the anonymous individuals who’ve mustered the courage and brought their concerns to interested parties, Veterinary Boards and the media, including The Triplicate. Finally, another distressing retort was noted at the end of our interview. Ms. Larsen said the content of our interview might hurt her BUSINESS. The Humane Society is not a business. The Humane Society is a 501c3 charity which pays no taxes and receives donations and grants.

Full Disclosure must be shared, for without Full Disclosure, the public may lose trust in the mission to render help.

Full Disclosure equates to honesty and credibility.

Stay sober on Valentine’s Day with these tips

By MARIE GARCEAU

Valentine’s Day is known for many things, such as flowers, chocolates, romance, dinners and date nights. However, the day can also be known for creating many negative emotions, such as guilt, sadness, depression, anxiety, and anger.

It can be particularly challenging for someone new to sobriety and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

Fortunately, there are practical ways to stay sober, avoid relapse, and treat the day as any other.

If someone is struggling

with a substance use disorder, it is critical to find help. Addictions worsen with time.

“Valentine’s Day can often be the first hurdle for many people in sobriety,” said Michael Leach of Addicted. org. “Many of the negative emotions attached to the day have the potential to lead to relapse.”

The first tip is to identify any potential stressors or triggers. An individual may feel they are feeling stressed because they are hyper-focused on their love life. Yet, it could be a work responsibility, family stressors, health issues, or

financial obligations.

In addition, it could be a particular situation or group of people creating stress. In that case, avoid it or them, and set clear boundaries. Overall, have a plan in place to recognize stressors and manage relapse triggers.

Another good approach is to counter the day’s culture and unplug from social media. Celebrate other forms of love with your children, friends, or family members. Moreover, off social media for a couple of days if seeing endless Valentine’s Day posts causes stress.

Finally, lean on support. A

good support system is integral to addiction recovery, regardless of the day of the year. Spend time with other sober and single friends or attend a recovery meeting. Stay safe and healthy and reach out for help if needed.

Marie Garceau has been working in the field of substance use and addiction recovery for over a decade. Her primary focus is to reach out to the community and spread awareness. She does this to educate others about the dangers of drug use and to help prevent individuals from using drugs.

ering 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.

The 2023 Salmon Information

Meeting marks the beginning of a two-month long public process used to develop annual sport and commercial ocean salmon fishing regulations.

The process involves collaborative negotiations between West Coast states, federal agencies, tribal co-managers, and stakeholders interested in salmon fishery management and conservation.

Public input will help California representatives develop a range of recommended season alternatives at the March 5-10 PFMC meeting in Seattle.

Final season recommendations will be adopted at the PFMC’s April 1-7 meeting in Foster City, Calif.

Salmon Information Meeting details, informational materials

and instructions for attendance will be published in advance of the event on CDFW’s Ocean Salmon webpage.

Crescent City

On Tuesday, February 7, the Yurok Tribe and Tribes from across the state gathered for the first-ever MMIP Day of Action at the California State Capitol to advocate for tribally proposed solutions that address the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous people. The solutions include two important pieces of legislation and a regional funding request for Northern, Central and Southern California tribes, which have long been excluded from many state and federal programs.

“California tribes have united to combat the MMIP crisis, which has weighed heavy on the hearts of every Native person in the state for far too long. The time for action is now,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “We are asking the state legislature to support a series of solutions that will help us prevent MMIP cases and keep our children safe.”

“The devastating issue of MMIP has caused untold tragedy that often becomes long lingering ripples of grief and further tragedy. We can reduce the number of cases through greater collaboration by law enforcement, tribal communities, mental health and other service providers to ensure that victims and their loved ones receive the support and attention they need to overcome these acts of violence. This issue remains a priority for me and others in the Native American Legislative Caucus; we want

California at the forefront in confronting this issue,” added Assemblymember James C. Ramos. Hundreds of tribal leaders, Native American advocates, affected families and tribal community members will be attending the first MMIP Day of Action in state history. The MMIP Day of Action will begin with light refreshments at 10am and a news briefing at 10:30am. Speakers include: California Assemblymember James C. Ramos, Yurok Chairman Joseph James, Assemblymember Robert Rivas, Wilton Rancheria Chairman Jesus Tarango, Jamul Indian Village Chairwoman Erica Pinto, Paskenta Band of the Nomlaki Indians Chairman Andrew Alejandre, Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians Chairwoman Janet Bill, Senator Scott Wilk, Assemblymember Marie Waldron, Assemblymember Eloise Reyes, Director of the California DOJ’s Office of Native American Affairs Merri Lopez-Kiefer, MMIP Survivor Joanna Saubel, Marlena Alva, MMIP family member, Foster youth Olivia Shortbull, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Youth Raven Casas, and Indigenous Justice Executive Director and MMIP Advocate Morning Star Gali. The news briefing will be followed by an MMIP walk, cultural demonstrations and community engagement activities.

Most, if not all California tribes are contending with MMIP crises. Tribal leaders across the state are calling

for an historic investment of $200 million to build programs and services that prevent girls, women and people from becoming missing or murdered and meet pressing needs in tribal communities.

The proposal will bolster tribally led response plans, law enforcement and public health programs in Northern, Central and Southern California. It also calls for legislation to change broken laws and policies.

Building on the recent passage of the Feather Alert and Department of Justice Law Enforcement Assistance bills, the first piece of legislation is AB 44 (Tribal Public Safety).

Introduced by California Assembly Member James C. Ramos, the bill seeks to grant tribal police state peace officer status. The bill will give qualified tribal police officers parity with state law enforcement as well as the ability to enforce all state laws and file cases in state courts. It will also provide tribal law enforcement and tribal courts access to the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). The computer network contains FBI and DMV-administered databases, criminal histories and many other essential records. The bill will benefit all California residents by increasing the number of highly trained peace officers available to protect and serve communities.

The second bill, also introduced by Assembly Member Ramos, AB 273 (Protecting

and Locating Foster Children Missing from Care) will require counties and courts to notify Tribes, key family members and attorneys when a child is missing from foster care. It will also require a judicial hearing when a child or non-minor dependent in foster care is missing, to ensure the child is located and returned to a safe and appropriate environment. Native children in the foster care system are disproportionately more at risk of becoming MMIP victims.

“The Yurok Tribe strongly encourages the state legislature to pass both bills,” said Chairman James In the US, California ranks in the top 10 in terms of the quantity of MMIP cases that occur in the state on an annual basis. The Golden State also has 110 federally recognized tribes and the largest Native American population of any state in the country.

“Within rural tribal and inner-city communities, there is a dire need across the state to invest in women, girls and gender non-binary/ non-confirming peoples potential, advance their rights, and address the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous peoples (MMIP). We are committed to working for structural change and transformation of the dominant narratives in which our stories are told, narratives that blame and further marginalize system impacted Indigenous peoples,” said Indigenous Justice Executive Director Morning Star Gali.

In October of 2022, the Yurok Tribe hosted the 1st Annual Statewide Tribal Summit on MMIP. The summit served as a catalyst to unite California’s tribal leaders, justice systems, MMIP

Zephyr looks very serious, especially with his underbite, but actually is quite friendly and loves affection. He really tries to keep his kennel clean, so may be housebroken. Zephyr already knows “sit” and kind of knows “down.” He’s very treat motivated and would likely be very trainable to do all kinds of things!
