The multi-year search for a homeless shelter has finally come to a successful closure. Supervisors unanimously approved the county-owned Williams Drive location east of Highway 101 as the site for the 60 bed emergency homeless shelter, formerly a mental health building and presently the Sheriff Dept Search and Rescue site. Plans call for the demolition of the aging building to become the emergency shelter. Also approved by the Board include a 50 pallet-sleeping cabin micro village patterned after the Rogue Retreat Hope Village in Medford. Dept. of Health and Human Services Director Ranell Brown kicked off the presentation and outlined the funding of the $10.823 million Encampment Resolution Fund grant from the State, in November. Brown broke down the allocation in a power point presentation into five categories: • Start up and site development $3 million • Personnel /Staffing $3.5 million. • Operating costs $1.3 million • Client support services estiPlease see HOMELESS, Page 4

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

GUEST COLUMNS

IN MY VIEW Offshore wind planning is proceeding

Last week I wrote about the Yurok Tribe sponsored Tribal Offshore Wind Summit in Eureka and the wealth of information I gained from attending this event. The Yurok Tribe is setting a good example of engagement in a public process. They have not taken a position for or against offshore wind but are at the negotiating table. Our local government leaders and citizens also need to pay attention now, even though a wind lease offshore Del Norte County may be years away. Local, state, and federal agencies are laying the foundation for all future offshore wind development in California. We can learn from the experiences of Humboldt and Morro Bay. BOEM There are currently no plans for a lease sale offshore of Del Norte County, but the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is initiating a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for both the Morro Bay and Humboldt lease areas. (www.boem.gov/ caoffshorepeis) A PEIS is the ﬁrst general analysis of the impacts of offshore wind. A Programmatic EIS

is a requirement of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and is a multi-step process. The first step provides the affected community with an opportunity to suggest issues that should be evaluated in more detail. In this way the studies will address local concerns. BOEM just completed a public comment period where they took suggestions on the scope of this study. Through this process they received input on issues and alternatives. I attended one of the public meetings and there were good suggestions based on local concerns. The most useful comments identified specific issues. PEIS This scoping process is only the beginning of this effort to develop a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). During the next step in the procedure, BOEM will prepare a draft PEIS in cooperation with other agencies. In August they will publish a notice of availability and again invite comments from the public. BOEM will consider these public comments and discuss possible responses or changes to the draft

PEIS. By the summer of 2025 they anticipate that the Final PEIS will be available for review. Shortly afterwards they will approve a record of decision. This document will provide policy guidance but does not approve any projects. BOEM will conduct a project speciﬁc Environmental Impact Statement for every individual offshore wind project based on detailed construction and operations plans. These are all the steps that BOEM will go through here if there is an offshore wind lease sale off the coast of Del Norte County. We can watch and learn.

AB 525 Assembly Bill 525 was enacted in 2021 and directs the California Energy Commission (CEC) to complete and submit a strategic plan for offshore wind development in federal waters off the California Coast. The CEC is circulating a draft strategic plan for public comment (eﬁling.energy. ca.gov). Comments are due by March 22. The AB525 Offshore Wind Strategic Plan will be the blueprint for all future offshore wind development in California. This

plan will affect Del Norte County. Chapter 3 discusses potential economic and work force benefits. Chapter 4 addresses avoidance, minimization, and mitigation of potential impacts. Chapter 5 identifies suitable sea space to accommodate the offshore wind planning goals and includes a large area 20 miles off the coast of Del Norte County. Chapter 6 analyzes port and waterfront infrastructure and identifies our harbor as a possible operations and maintenance harbor to support offshore operations. Other chapters cover subjects including workforce development, permitting and transmission planning. If you are interested in learning more about what is happening with offshore wind in California, I encourage you to spend some time to read through the draft strategic plan. They are asking for your input before it is finalized. Closer To Home A group of community partners is kicking off a “Del Norte Energy Resiliency Information Series” with a panel of experts on offshore wind. This event is on Saturday March 2 from 2-4 PM at the United

Methodist Church at 664 H Street in downtown Crescent City. Admission is free and the public is welcome to attend. Participants will learn about offshore wind technology, the lease process, the environmental review process, and the positive and negative impacts of offshore wind. There will be an update on projects happening in Humboldt and possible future job opportunities in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties and adjacent tribal lands. The goal of this group is to inform citizens regarding the impacts of offshore wind development and how they can participate in planning and mitigation. There will be a special emphasis on how offshore wind will impact commercial ﬁsheries. Panelists include Lisa Gilbane, Environmental Analysis Section Chief, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management; Mike Rademaker, Crescent City Assistant Harbor Master; Alec Dompka, Economic Development Advisor, UC Davis Cooperative Extension; Wes White, Crescent City Harbor Commissioner and Tom Wheeler Executive Director, EPIC. Be Well Informed

Kevin Hendrick There are reasons to be skeptical and wary of another big industry coming into our backyard. There are many unknowns about offshore wind, but there are many things that can be known now. If we all try to be well informed, we will have a more productive discussion of the potential, possibilities, pitfalls, and perils of wind. It is not as helpful to simply oppose offshore wind for whatever reason. It will be more effective to raise speciﬁc legitimate concerns. These projects are 20 miles offshore. How will this affect ﬁshing? They will not be visible from land. How will this impact on our tourism? There is still more to learn. We should stay engaged. Kevin Hendrick is a 30year resident of Del Norte County. kevinjameshendrick@gmail.com

Criminalizing politics BY WILLIAM COOPER The indispensable line between politics and criminal justice in America is disintegrating. Politicians, pundits, and everyday people—from both sides of the tribal divide—increasingly want their political opponents prosecuted. Winning elections, legislative victories, and hearts and minds is no longer enough. Americans now long to see their fellow citizens behind bars. More and more, prosecutors oblige— bringing cases because of one’s political afﬁliation rather than one’s guilt or innocence. This undermines not just the rule of law, but the nation as a whole. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter is embroiled in numerous criminal matters. And Repub-

licans are doing their utmost to shoehorn Joe into the fray. Donald Trump, meanwhile, faces four separate indictments. And numerous politicians have been found guilty of committing crimes this century, including Scooter Libbey, Ted Stevens, Robert Coughlin, William Jefferson, Jesse Jackson Jr., David Petraeus, Michael Fylnn, and Steve Bannon. Some of these cases represent legitimate law-enforcement work. Some don’t. But the problem is much bigger than just actual cases. Trump’s 2016 campaign rallies saw thundering chants from the crowd to “lock her up,” referring to his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. While president, Trump openly pressured the DOJ to prosecute his political rivals, including

Hillary Clinton, Biden, Barack Obama, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe. Calls from Democrats to prosecute Trump and his loyalists, meanwhile, have been ubiquitous since 2016 (as have giddy celebrations when prosecutors do so). While some cases are necessary to bring, the pervasive tribal lust to prosecute political rivals is very dangerous. First, mixing the criminal law with tribal passions makes defendants’ politics the focus, not their guilt or innocence. The political obsession with the messenger (as opposed to the message) and the actor (as opposed to the action) is the opposite of the rule of law’s central tenet—that everyone is inherently equal under the law and only a defendant’s speciﬁc alleged misdeeds are relevant.

Second, criminalizing politics turbo-charges tribalism. Polarization’s knife has already penetrated deep inside the body politic. Criminalizing politics twists it violently. Instead of treating political opponents like competitive rivals, they’re treated like sworn enemies. America’s political energy should be channeled into winning elections, governing effectively, and addressing the country’s numerous public-policy failures—not sending political rivals to jail. Finally, criminalizing politics deters talented people from serving the country. American government already has a serious personnel problem. Just look at the presidency. Donald Trump was grossly unﬁt to hold America’s highest ofﬁce. His successor, Joe Biden, is a welcome rever-

sion toward (but not quite to) the mean. Now in his eighties, Biden is neither what he once was nor the best American for the job. The House of Representatives, moreover, is throbbing with underqualiﬁed mediocrities. Americans shouldn’t further dissuade quality people from serving because imperfections or ambiguities in their past might be shoehorned into politically motivated criminal accusations. It’s also true, of course, that entering the government should neither absolve someone from past crimes nor authorize them to commit new ones. William Cooper is an attorney and the award-winning author of How America Works … And Why It Doesn’t.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you to Starkey, Wilson I would like to personally thank Valerie Starkey, Dean Wilson and the other members of the Board of Supervisors for Acknowledging my husband’s 31 years of service to the County of Del Norte. After a year had gone by since his retirement with not so much as a thank you from the County of Del Norte (for his 31 years of service), I contacted Valerie Starkey to see what she could do. Valerie came through with ﬂying colors, Kennith was honored at a Board of Supervisors Meeting. Dean Wilson presented him with a certificate and a heartfelt speech about his years of working along side Kennith at the Sheriffs ofﬁce. It is nice to have people on the Board of Supervisors who care about their job and actually follow through to get things done.. Thank you again Valerie Starkey, you made up for the Counties

lack of caring about their Retirees. I really hope in the Future the County of Del Norte takes that one little step to make sure that all Retirees feel like they have been appreciated for all of their years of dedication. If this process is left in the department heads hands this is what happens and people are just passed over. There should be a standard practice for HR to have a certiﬁcate or something in the retirees packet thanking them or, like Kennith get an acknowledgment at a Board Meeting. Thank you again Valerie Starkey for showing us Del Norters that you care about us. Sincerely, Corinne Higgins Crescent City --------------------------

Republicans are democrats betrayed Recently I saw the following statement, “A Republican is a Demo-

crat who has just been mugged.” I believe a better expression might be “has been betrayed.” The docile defenders of Capitalism are up against the new Democratic Marxism that does not tolerate the competition of ideas or political parties. It stands for one-party control and the individual’s subjugation. “Feed the Hungry” turns into “Feed the Government.” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “A wise and frugal government shall leave men to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.” The right to property, including Intellectural Property, guarantees the means to live in freedom and practice self-government. The main role of government is to keep the peace and punish offenders. However, our government has grown by leaps and bounds, and the rights of the individual have been trampled. The Socialist Economy can go down only one of two possible paths: toward Authoritari-

anism, or toward Anarchy. For example, California is a state that is badly in need of water. Fortunately, we have received a lot of rain this year. We need to SAVE THE WATER. However, Environmentalists (scam) are against building dams and reservoirs to do just that and prefer to let the water run into the ocean. Joan Miles Crescent City --------------------------

Just the facts, please

That’s all that is needed. The fact is that the 45th president of the USA broke many laws before, during, and after his tenure in the executive ofﬁce. There is visible, documented proof of his taking highly classiﬁed documents from the white house and then sharing them with Russians and other un-authorized persons, and then refusing to return them. Then there is the whole 2020 election Big Lie that the

former president generated to avoid admitting that he lost, and the subsequent multiple felonies committed in trying to subvert the results, culminating with an insurrection against American democracy itself. The fact that many of Donald Trumps lawyers have been found guilty and hundreds of his followers are serving time for participating in these unlawful and violent acts is not a witch hunt, it’s the legal and judicial consequence of our democratic system of keeping the country safe. During his own trials, Trump openly encouraged judge and witness intimidation, which is why it was necessary to ﬁle a ‘gag order’ to limit his tampering with his own trial. These are not matters of opinion, these are the facts borne out by consistent and solid evidence. His business practices are now proven corrupt, and he is avoiding sentencing by throwing untenable lawsuits into the court system and employing delay tactics. The man

is a liar, a mob boss, and a cult leader, and I haven’t even touched his morals, racism, and inappropriate sexism. No conspiracy theories are needed, no alternative story holds true. So the question becomes why? Why are so many of us willing to believe the former president and the dis-information machines that he inﬂuences (and which inﬂuence him)? There is a huge mountain of denial involved that no ‘politically motivated witch hunt’ can explain. For all of us, I ask that we accept the truth and keep that which is still good in America: our democracy, our three branches of semi-independent government, and our relative standing in the world. I support law and order. I don’t support criminal narcissists. Craig Strong Crescent City

mated to be approximately, $2.4 million • Administrative costs are estimated at $515,000. DHHS Director Brown underscored it is not realistic to believe this project will solve homelessness in Del Norte County but Brown said the shelter is a “…step in the right direction.” Supervisor Valerie Starkey inquired about the re-location of Search and Rescue. Brown stated no funding is available to re-locate Search and Rescue. 50 percent of the funds must be spent by June 30, 2025, the balance of the grant by June 30, 2026.

Norte’s first official homeless shelter. Cortese-Lambert was clearly humbled by no shortage of partners in seeing this project come to fruition. “ I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for those in our community who helped make this shelter become a reality. Supervisor Joey Borges said he would have preferred to have seen this report before he cast his no vote on the transferring of the ERF grant funding. After visiting the Rogue Retreat and micro village in Medford, last month, Borges expressed his support of the Mission Possible proposal. Board Chair/ Supervisor Dean Wilson told The Triplicate Mission Possible is the first step in providing the tools to help those seeking assistance. “This program will serve the needs of those seeking

Tuff

Tuff came to us with 3 other dogs from a neglectful situation. He can be stubborn and has pretty low energy, preferring short walks and occasional short bursts of play (he will sometimes play with a toy). He does enjoy his treats and a good ear scratch! He has been pretty reactive to some of our other dogs, especially other large males, so may do best as your one and only.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-22947595-CL Order No.: FIN-22010699 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/15/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Russell P. Reid and Rebecca A. Reid Recorded: 7/1/2005 as Instrument No. 20054870 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California; Date of Sale: 3/13/2024 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Steps of the Southwest Entrance to the Flynn Administration Building, located at 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $364,199.61 The purported property address is: 1050 SANDMAN ROAD, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 112-121-043-000 112-121-43 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 for information regarding the

trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-947595CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you 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 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-947595-CL 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. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

The undersigned 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 website www. Auction.com, using the

file number assigned to this case CA2300289316 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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 855-976-3916, or visit this internet website https://www. auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300289316 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

Small changes during Heart Health Awareness Month for seniors DR. DAMANPREET JAMARAI Chief Medical Officer United Healthcare Medicare & Retirement of California

February is Heart Health Awareness month, a great time to start on the path to better heart health and wellbeing and to understand the risk factors that can contribute to heart problems. Late last year, the America’s Health Rankings (AHR) report highlighted a startling fact: heart disease is one of eight chronic conditions that has reached record highs since the report began tracking health and wellbeing in the United States. Despite a decline in deaths tied to heart disease, it remains the leading cause of death among men and women. Heart disease costs the U.S. health system $216 billion per year, according to the CDC, not including an additional $147 billion in lost wages and productivity. Risk factors for heart disease include conditions like

Del Norte County boasts award-winning craft brews by ROGER GITLIN

With the success of local breweries at recent craft brew competitions like the El Dorado County Fair Commercial Craft Brew Competition and the U.S. Beer Tasting Championships Winter event Port O’ Pints and SeaQuake Brewing companies are working hard to see the craft beer community as a delicious reason to enjoy and visit our coastal community.

Veterinarian Mark Franusich and dedicated staff

California stakeholders are invited to submit angler preferences for open fishing dates for the 2024 recreational Pacific halibut season via an online survey. Survey results will be used to develop the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) recommendations to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the 2024 season. The survey should take approximately two minutes to complete and will remain open until midnight on February 21, 2024, and can be found online: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KPDDVQP. Per NMFS’ proposed 2024 Catch Sharing Plan, California recreational fisheries will be allocated 38,220 net pounds, with 500 pounds set aside for the area south of Point Arena. Season dates, daily bag and possession limits and gear restrictions that apply to recreational Pacific halibut fishing off California will continue to be specified in Title 14, Section 28.20.For more information on the Pacific halibut fishery in California, visit CDFW’s Pacific Halibut webpage.

CDFW to conduct helicopter surveys DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is initiating annual helicopter surveys to inventory and monitor mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep populations throughout the state. Flights will be conducted in portions of Solano, Mendocino, Siskiyou, Modoc, Lassen, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, San

Bernardino and Riverside counties during February and March 2024. CDFW utilizes a variety of survey methods to regularly monitor big game population size, distribution, demographics and trends over time. In more forested environments, CDFW employs the use of trail cameras and fecal DNA. In more open habi-

tats, aerial surveys provide an efﬁcient and rapid method of data collection, affording CDFW biologists the ability to cover larger areas in relatively shorter time periods. CDFW scientists use the survey data in statistical models to estimate the total population size of each species in different hunt zones or management

units. This information helps wildlife managers better understand population performance relative to a variety of factors including climate change, habitat quality, human-wildlife conﬂict and habitat fragmentation, among others. Results are also used to make regulated harvest recommendations to the California Fish

and Game Commission, which is the state regulatory authority that adopts tag quotas, hunting seasons and zone boundaries. These efforts are important for managing California’s wildlife populations and are especially critical due to recent harsh winter conditions that may have had negative impacts on population numbers.

Big game hunters and other members of the public are encouraged to participate in the commission’s annual regulatory cycles. Information regarding upcoming meetings, including dates, locations, background documents and virtual meeting links are available at the California Fish and Game Commission website.

CDFW to evaluate wolf-livestock Compensation Pilot Program As part of its evaluation of the Wolf-Livestock Compensation Pilot Program, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) last week started posting outstanding wolf depredation reports dating back to August 2023. The depredation reports conﬁrm 16 wolf depredations totaling a loss of 18 livestock. With this posting, CDFW can now ﬁnalize review of existing program

applications and eligibility of livestock producers to receive payments for direct losses. The Wolf-Livestock Compensation Pilot Program is the ﬁrst of its kind in California and has thus far provided support to livestock producers in compensating for direct loss of livestock due to conﬁrmed wolf depredation; supported non-lethal deterrence techniques such as the use

of range riders, electrified fencing and flags (turbo fladry), camera surveillance, motion lights and guardian dogs; and compensated livestock producers for the impact of wolf presence on livestock. CDFW received $3 million in funding from the Budget Act of 2021 and began receiving applications in February 2022. As of January 12, 2024, CDFW had received a total of 102 applications. At that

time, CDFW notiﬁed the public that the applications received were projected to exhaust the current fund. The efforts to implement the pilot program have been important to wolf conservation and supporting livestock producers in the state. Once the program is complete and evaluated, CDFW will make a summary public on its Gray Wolf webpage.

OBITUARIES Norman Newton Folkenberg Norman Newton Folkenberg, known fondly to friends and family as Norman, passed away peacefully of natural causes on January 25, 2024, in Crescent City, California. Born on October 6, 1934, in the lush landscapes of Oregon, Norman’s life was a tapestry of hard work, creativity, and the warm embrace of family life. He was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle, whose legacy of love and kindness will be cherished by all who knew him. Norman’s early years were spent working in the mills of California, where he learned the value of dedication and perseverance. He later transitioned to a career as a ﬁre lookout, a role he passionately embraced until his well-earned retirement. The solitude and beauty of the natural world were a constant source of inspiration for Norman, and his dedication to preserving it was evident in his diligent work. Beyond his professional life, Norman was a man of many interests and talents. Reading was a favored pastime, allowing him to explore worlds beyond his own. Painting and woodworking were not just hobbies but expressions of his deep-seated creativity, resulting in beautiful pieces that were often gifted to loved ones. Western movies were another joy, with their tales of adventure

and heroism reﬂecting the bold spirit Norman carried within himself. Norman’s heart, however, was most fulﬁlled in the company of his family. He was the cherished husband of the late Emma Jean Folkenberg, and together they built a life rich with love and laughter. His children, Sherri Lewis, Douglas Folkenberg, Yvette Deere, and David Folkenberg were the pride of his life, and he instilled in them the values of integrity, compassion, and the importance of family bonds. The joy of Norman’s life multiplied with the arrival of each grandchild and great-grandchild, as he watched his legacy beautifully unfold through the generations. Holidays were a particular delight for Norman, where the gathering of family, the sharing of stories, and the enjoyment of good food – which he always insisted was one of life’s greatest pleasures – made for cherished memories. His presence at these family celebrations was as essential as the festive meals he so enjoyed, and his absence will be deeply felt during these times. Norman’s life was a testament to the quiet strength and resilience of a man who faced life’s challenges with grace and who found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He was a pillar in his community, a friend to many, and a

Construction

guiding light to his family. His wise counsel, gentle humor, and the unwavering love he had for his family will be profoundly missed. Norman’s passing marks the end of an era, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched. He leaves behind not only his children and their spouses but also a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, all of whom will carry forward the lessons of love, family, and resilience that Norman embodied. As we bid farewell to Norman Newton Folkenberg, we celebrate a life well-lived, a journey well-traveled, and a man well-loved. His was a life that exempliﬁed the beauty of simplicity, the strength of character, and the joy of togetherness. While Norman may have left this earthly realm, the memories he created, the wisdom he shared, and the love he gave will forever be woven into the fabric of his family’s history. Rest in peace, Norman. Your story lives on through the many lives you’ve touched, and your memory will continue to inspire us all to live with the same kindness, passion, and love for family that you so effortlessly displayed. Arrangements are under the direction of Wier’s Mortuary Chapel. Please sign the family’s online guest book at wiersmortuary.com
