Nick White steps down as Warriors head coach

BY RAY HAMILL For the Triplicate

Del Norte Warriors head football coach Nick White announced Thursday that he is stepping down after four years in charge of the program.

During his tenure as head coach, White led the Warriors to unprecedented success, including a first-ever North Coast Section Championship and a state bowl game in 2019, his first season in charge.

White says he is stepping away from the team for personal reasons.

“I just want to spend more time with family,” he said. “The time and commitment is a lot. It’s pretty much a 365-day job if you’re doing it right.”

White will be remembered as one of the most successful coaches in Del Norte football history after posting an overall record of 34-8, including a 12-0 record in official league games and three consecutive unbeaten Big 4 championships.

After taking over from Lewis

Nova, the Fort Bragg native and former Cal Poly Humboldt defensive MVP, immediately earned the respect of his fellow coaches.

“I have so much respect for coach White and what he brought to Del Norte football and the Big 4 conference,” St. Bernard’s head coach Matt Tomlin said after hearing the news. “His teams showed the most improvement in the weight room every year, and I really thought him and his brother (assistant coach Chris White) were so good at maximizing what his players do.”

White’s teams won league championships in 2019, 2021 and 2022. There was no official league championship in the four-game COVID-shortened spring season of 2021.

His association with the program goes well beyond his tenure as head coach after serving as an assistant with the team for almost a decade before taking over as head coach.

Supervisors hear concern about housing

Spay, neuter clinic faces serious questions

For The Triplicate

Supervisors listened to an update and report of the octo-annual Draft Del Norte County 20222030 Housing Element. Upon invitation from Community Development, the State requires 40% or more low income projects planned through the end of this decade. Lester reported 386 new housing developments must be planned and The Del Norte Housing Element identified 154 units would be dedicated to zero and low income recipients. No criteria were presented in what scaffold determines low income.

5TH District Supervisor Dean Wilson was clearly unhappy with the state’s role in mapping out Del Norte County’s future housing and shared his concern the consequences of not adhering to adopting the Housing Element could result in dire consequences for Del Norte.

Public Speakers expressed their concern that Sacramento is determining the future face of Del Norte. Public Speaker Branden Bieber addressed the board stating,” …this is government imposing more government. This is Sacramento telling Del Norte County what to do and how to live. That’s unacceptable.”

Brian Lester responded, “… the Housing Element is the report what counties will do over the next eight years. Failure to adhere to the adopted element would invite state scrutiny on why the subordinate governance is not following up with its adopted plan, what incentives are being researched to adhere to the plan and what additional outreach can be extended as fully promised obligations. The dire consequences stated by Supervisor Wilson could be a state lawsuit or additional governmental scrutiny which would be costly and punitive to the defiant lower level government.

The Housing Element will come back before the Board for consideration of adoption, February 28.

Allegations of invalid or no licensing and other questionable veterinary practices have been leveled against a low-cost spay and a neuter provider in Del Norte County.

The Neuter Scooter, a mobile service operating under the website PUB VET, and its chief veterinarian Dr. Tess Peavy has conducted a low-cost dog and cat spay and neuter services for many years under the umbrella of the Del Norte Humane Society.

When contacted by The Triplicate, Dr. Peavy was leery of this Triplicate article and declined to comment on the record.

Several Pub Vet clients have posted concerns on social media and a few have contacted The Triplicate to investigate allegations of invalid or no licensure, improper surgical procedures requiring remedial intervention by a licensed veterinarian and substantial and additional cost to the pet owner. Other pet owners allege improper anesthetics and controlled substance use caused additional suffering to spayed/ neutered animals.

Humane Society President Danielle Larsen-Wheeler last month was awarded a $385,200 California For All Animals spay and neuter grant. The first of three installments of $128,000 was delivered to the Humane Society January 9, according to HSDN grant writer Eileen Bennett. The Humane Society of Del Norte has hosted spay and neuter clinics in December and January 6-7 with a Hoopa clinic scheduled for February 3-4.

The need for low-cost spay and neuter service in Del Norte and Curry counties is profound.

According to HSDN figures, for the years 2018-2022, almost 4,000 spay and neuter procedures were performed by area vets over the four-year period.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Senators Introduce Legislation to Include Oregon in Smith River National Recreation Area Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden today introduced legislation to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area by 58,000 acres, a move that would protect the diverse ecosystems of the rivers, streams, and adjacent lands of the North Fork Smith River watershed and help boost the local fishing and recreation industries that many Oregon families rely on. The legislation is also cosponsored by U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Alex Padilla (D-CA).

In 1990, Congress enacted legislation to establish the Smith River National Recreation Area (NRA) to protect the watershed, but the boundary of the NRA stopped at the Oregon border, leaving the North Fork of the Smith River and its tributaries unprotected.

“When we come together to protect our state’s natural wonders, we can create jobs, protect resources, grow our economy, and make sure future generations of Oregonians can enjoy our incredible public lands,” Merkley said.

“I’m grateful to have had the partnership of local leaders, conservationists, and businesses as well as my colleagues in creating this legislation expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area—a commonsense win-win for adventurers across the Northwest, those interested in preserving the beautiful places in Oregon, and Southern Oregon’s economy.”

“This legislation has deservedly earned solid bipartisan support in our state, and I’m all in to team up with Senator Merkley on getting this key bill across the finish line for Southern Oregon,” Wyden said. “Expanding this crucial recreation area would add up to a huge win that protects our state’s natural treasures, generates recreation jobs and invests in our local economies for future generations.”

The Smith River is home to a rich variety of plants and wildlife—including Coho and Chinook salmon, Coastal Cutthroat trout, the diverse Siskiyou Mountains forests, unique plants found nowhere else on earth, and spectacular redwoods that tower over the lower river banks. The Smith River NRA’s scenic beauty,

world-class fisheries, and exceptional water quality attract adventurers who partake in water sports, fishing, hunting, camping, and sightseeing.

The NRA expansion would permanently withdraw the land from new mining claims, helping to protect this sensitive area from proposed nickel strip mines, and protect 74 miles of scenic rivers, including Baldface Creek, Chrome Creek, and nearby streams. In addition, the legislation would task the Forest Service with the preparation of an updated recreation plan identifying specific plans for the entire National Recreation Area, and produce a special study of streams, fens, wetlands, and potentially unstable and vulnerable aquatic habitat areas. The bill complements the Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act and Southwestern Oregon Watershed and Salmon Protection Act, which was introduced by the Senators last Congress to protect the North Fork Smith River watershed and other Southwestern Oregon rivers and streams.

“I am happy to offer strong support for Senator Merkley’s work to expand our beautiful Smith River Watershed as part of our fabulous Wild Rivers Coast,” said Court Boice, Curry County Commissioner.

“The Kalmiopsis Wilderness and Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest are recognized as the most diverse, wild, unique, rugged and beautiful Landscapes in North America.

This legislation will certainly help and is important for maintaining our pristine rivers and recovering the vibrancy of our salmon and steelhead runs.”

“I thank Senator Merkley and support his efforts and legislation to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area in Oregon’s North Fork of the Smith River watershed,” said David Brock Smith, Oregon State Senator District 01 (R-Port Orford). “The Smith River is an important watershed in Southern Oregon and Northern California, providing critical salmonid habitat, drinking water and recreational opportunities, and I will continue to be a strong state partner in supporting the Smith River, its tributaries and the watersheds of Southwest Oregon.”

Kobe arrived after being seized by animal control for neglectful conditions. Due to his previous life, he can be a bit leery of new people. It doesn’t take long though, he warms up pretty quickly. Kobe has energy to burn and is happiest when he is exercising and stretching his legs. Kobe really loves being able to run in wide open places and would thrive in a home with a fully fenced yard and supervision.

The Humane Society of Del Norte is facing questions after it was learned a spay and neuter clinic it supports is being run by a vet who is not licensed in Oregon or California.

Clinic From page A1

Peavy, is scheduled to perform as many as 331 cat and 279 dog spay or neuter procedures in Del Norte and Curry counties.

The dilemma is Dr. Peavy has no license to practice veterinary medicine in both Oregon or California. Dr. Peavy’s license expired in January of 2013 after the Oregon Vet Board decided the following: * Charging for services not performed, failure to neuter a dog while charging the client, * Poor sanity conditions, failure to perform surgery using sterile equipment, * Failure to perform all required elements of physical examination, * Observed hair clippings during procedures, * Failure to maintain proper individual records, failure to document all drugs used.

The Oregon Vet Board assessed a $5 000 fine and mandated Dr. Peavy take a 40-hour remedial course on sanitary practices and proper maintaining of records.

Dr. Peavy failed to complete the coursework

White From page A1

He said most of all he will remember the people associated with the program, “the relationships and everybody that put in the work to build the program to where it got.

That’s a special part of it.”

He also expressed gratitude to his fellow coaches and all the players he got to coach.

required within 60 days of issuance.

The State of California subsequently declined to renew Dr. Peavy’s license when it lapsed July 31, 2021.

When Triplicate staff reported this information to HSDN President Larsen, she disputed its authenticity claiming Dr. Peavy, who she has known for 21 years, was indeed licensed, albeit in Ohio and Indiana, and deflected the lack of licensure in Oregon and California.

Larsen stated all spaying and neutering were conducted on Tribal lands sovereign territory.

When asked if Yurok, Elk Valley Rancheria and Tolowa Di Nee were aware the spay/neuter procedures were performed by invalid licensees, Larsen deflected and stated she was not aware of Peavy’s deficiency.

The Yurok Tribe released the following statement: “Individuals and groups may rent our the Yurok Tribe’s community room.

The Humane Society rents the space for its Spay and Neuter clinic. The organization (Humane Society) is responsible for all aspects of the Clinic.”

All the above have been brought to the attention of

Sheriff Garrett Scott whose department assumed responsibility of Animal Control on January 1. The sheriff stated he does not oversee Humane Society operations or its decisions. Scott promised to fully investigate all current state law on vet licensing, controlled substance use and transportation of animals for spay and neuter service,

presently conducted in Coos Bay. Area vets contacted promised to look into the needed spay and neuter services desperately needed, especially with the addition of the substantial grant award.

This is a continuing story with anticipated following up.

from family to make it work, and the players who gave everything, and the parents who bought in,” he said.

“You can’t have a program without the support of the parents.

“And the community that does an amazing job here.

We had a lot of support and a lot of backing. Everybody worked hand in hand.”

He did not, however, rule out a return to coaching at some stage in the future.

“I imagine I will,” he said.

“We’ll see what happens in the next chapter of my life.”

White is considered one of the top coaches in the entire NCS after leading the Warriors to a 7-3 playoff record in three straight appearances, including two NCS championship games.

This past fall, after being denied a home playoff game by the NCS seedings committee despite dominating all year and winning a league title, White and his players traveled to play at Tennyson High School in Hayward and came away with a statement 50-14 victory.

The Fort Bragg High

graduate was named the Jacks Defensive MVP in his senior season at Cal Poly Humboldt (then Humboldt State) after leading the conference in tackles.

Prior to that, he was a part of the Corsairs’ back-to-back championship teams in the early 2000s, the last time the school won a conference title in football.

White is the younger brother of CR head coach Jason White.

“He definitely will be missed,” Tomlin said.

California’s New Eye on Del Norte Flavored Tobacco The jail is not the Ramada Inn Law Will Save Kids’ Lives

By Dr. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher As a parent, researcher, and professor of adolescent medicine at Stanford University, I know first-hand how important it is to keep vapes out of the hands of teens. A key part of my research focuses on understanding why kids and young adults make certain decisions around their health and how they perceive risk—including things we know to be harmful, such as tobacco use.

In my research, I often hear young people say they never would have started using tobacco if flavored products had not been so easily available. In fact, we know that kids start using and keep using tobacco because of flavors. In California, 96% of all kids who vape use flavored vapes.

I am proud Californians took an important step in ending the youth tobacco epidemic by voting “Yes” on Proposition 31, California’s flavored tobacco law, which stops tobacco retailers from selling most flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes and flavored vapes.

Californians also importantly voted “yes” to including mint and menthol products in this policy. This is key in preventing adolescent tobacco use because we know that when one flavor is not around, teens will switch to other flavors. In fact, one study found that the share of adolescents using menthol cigarettes rose by over 7% in response to a previous ban on flavored cigarettes that did not include menthol.

California’s flavored tobacco law addresses the root cause of the youth vaping epidemic, and the lifetime of addiction and vaping-related diseases teens are facing today.

The health risks of vapes are substantial and are the cause of many, sometimes lethal, physical health harms.

To name just a few, vape use is associated with: • Increased risk of chronic diseases, such as asthma, COPD, emphysema, and bronchitis; • Harmful changes in adolescents’ brain cell activity in the parts of the brain responsible for attention, learning, and memory; • Worsening mental health symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity.

The tobacco industry’s deceptive marketing tactics— colorful packaging, slick tech, and sweet flavors—trick kids into thinking vaping is safe, instead of the reality that Big Tobacco is sentencing them to a lifetime of addiction. Flavors mask the harshness of tobacco and hide high nicotine levels, making them more addictive than traditional cigarettes. In short, the tobacco industry created highly addictive, kid-friendly products designed to exploit young people and hook California’s next generation.

Importantly, the new law does not criminalize an individual for purchasing, using, or possessing a flavored tobacco product, but instead places responsibility on tobacco retailers and their employees to comply. In this way, the law affirms what I have found to be true in my research time and time again: When it comes to nicotine addiction, youth need support, not punishment.

Adolescents who no longer have access to their preferred tobacco products need to know they do have access to compassionate quit support. If you know a young person who is addicted to nicotine, it is important to be their partner and guide them towards the many resources available to help them quit.

In California, we have Kick It California, which is a free program that provides people with the tools they need to quit tobacco. We also have resources through our Tobacco Prevention Toolkit.

With support and compassion from parents, teachers, and medical professionals, we can help our young, loved ones live a healthy, tobacco free life.

My publisher sent me an unopened letter stamped DEL NORTE JAIL MAIL and he asked me to follow up with its contents. Mail from the Jail.

The letter, handwritten in pencil with an apology about legibility was from an inmate at the jail leveling some pretty heady charges: leaky roof, flooding, lots of mold and mildew. The inmate, who shall remain anonymous for obvious reasons claimed the jail was not suited for human occupancy. The inmate was highly critical of staff who he/she claimed were indifferent, incompetent and ignoring of wanton fentanyl abuse including at least three recent overdose incidents, again according to the inmate.

Last year, the roof was replaced and there were some small leaks the roofer and County Building Services patched up. The flooding has been addressed and corrected. It’s important to remind folks this is a jail not a Ramada Inn. The Jail is not designed for comfort. It’s designed for confinement. Regrettably, too few of those who commit crimes see the inside of a jail.

It’s also important to understand the difference between a jail and a prison. The

Del Norte County Jail is for short term occupancy, usually less than a year for those convicted. The jail is also for those awaiting trial. The convicted are sentenced to prison or long term confinement.

The State has passed laws which may exclude bail mandates. This legislation allows for booking and release back into the community. Very dangerous and irresponsible. These laws compromise public safety in the City, County, State and across America.

The inmate’s complaints about staff indifference and incompetence fall on hard of hearing ears. I know corrections staff to be vigilant and keenly aware of Corrections’ mission. Again, I’d advise this individual currently incarcerated, the jail is NOT the Ramada Inn. Last year, an incident took place showing a single trashed housing unit with a lot of folks upset inmates were being mistreated. Though a serious matter, it was an isolated incident. The trashed housing unit was ultimately cleaned up and stabilized. Nonetheless, the jail does have some issues.

Two months ago, Sheriff Garrett Scott requested a comprehensive, professional

evaluation of the jail. Structural Engineering firm Nichols. Milburn and Rosetto, Certified Structural Engineers out of Redding conductRoger ed that evaluation Gitlin and the results of jail deficiencies should be forthcoming, any day.

After the Report is studied by Sheriff Scott, I would hope the Sheriff would share the NMR Report with the Board of Supervisors and the Public. Then, implement a plan to address and prioritize needs.

My closing comment and advice to anyone sentenced to do time in our jail.

Rethink your choices and behavior. Ask yourself, is it worth it? Obey laws and be good citizens. If you do that, guaranteed you’ll not see the inside of the Del Norte County Jail.

The Harbor District Takes the Lead

Sometimes hope feels like an unfamiliar emotion. Solutions to the world’s problems seem out of reach.

There have been more than 40 mass shootings in the United States in the first month of this year. Thousands of Americans die every year from gun violence, yet there appears to be no plan to stop these tragedies. Across the globe - wars, famine and disease are killing millions with no end in sight.

All these real problems stoke fear, but the antidote for fear is hope. We must cling to the hope that somehow we can make things better. Collectively we should nurture hope and work together for a brighter future.

On January 12th, I attended a meeting that gave me hope for our community.

The City of Crescent City and the Chamber of Commerce organized this meeting to build partnerships for a forthcoming grant opportunity that could benefit many organizations in our county.

This meeting was attended by more than 40 representatives of government agencies and non-profit groups that operate in our county.

The State of California has established a $500 million Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF), that was created to “promote a sustainable and equitable recovery from the economic distress of COVID-19 by supporting new plans and strategies to diversify local economies and develop sustainable industries that create high-quality, broadly accessible jobs for all Californians.”

This fund will support the “development of meaningfully inclusive regional planning processes that produce regional roadmaps for economic development efforts.” Crescent City is working on this regional planning effort to pull together partners from Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, and Mendocino counties to apply for grants from this pool of funds. I applaud this effort.

While Crescent City and others have

been focusing on this larger collaborative project, the State has split off $50 million to provide fast track funding for two-year pilot projects. This pilot project funding is on the radar of the Harbor District because they hired an experienced grant writer. The Harbor District is taking the lead to have their grant writer produce this grant application and has reached out to invite local partners to join them.

While the Harbor District could submit this grant application to fund only Harbor projects, they recognize that they will be more competitive if they recruit partners to propose projects for a joint application.

At the January 12th meeting, attendees were invited to partner with the Harbor on this countywide grant application. The response has been phenomenal.

As of today, multiple local organizations have expressed interest in partnering on this grant application including the City of Crescent City, Del Norte County, Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority, Tolowa Dee-ni Nation, Del Norte Healthcare District, and Redwood Parks Conservancy. I am impressed with how quickly these groups have responded.

The final grant application is due on February 13th and funding will be available in September if the grant is approved. We are allowed to request up to $10 million and at this time the total of the combined requests for all these agencies is over $7 million. The primary objectives of these projects are community development, job creation and job training.

The focus of some of these partners is providing training for trade jobs that will be emerging from renewable energy projects, including the jobs that will be created as wind energy is developed off our coast.

The Harbor District is researching the potential for construction, operation and maintenance jobs that will come with wind energy.

At the January regular meeting of the Tri-Agency they engaged in a preliminary discussion of their potential involvement Kevin with this joint grant Hendrick application. After paying off past debts Tri-Agency has about $1,200 in the bank. This grant would give a boost to their finances and provide the resources for the Tri-Agency to contract for an economic development coordinator and grant writer to help build their economic development efforts.

One member of the Board expressed skepticism that we could get this grant.

One member of the audience questioned the value of applying for a grant that will likely not be funded. I pointed out with 100% certainty that they will not get this funding if they do not apply.

I have seen this too often in our community when people start to bail on an effort before we know the outcome.

They start settling for plan B instead of fighting for plan A. I call this “planning for failure.”

It is important for our community to keep striving for success rather than planning for failure.

Even though there are still a few final approvals to secure, it is encouraging to see this initiative is bringing diverse organizations together. Each entity could have submitted a separate grant application, but the cooperation and inclusiveness demonstrated by this partnership makes us highly competitive for this funding.

This gives me hope and hope is something that we all need.

The housing crisis is harming my town

In Girdwood, Alaska, we’ll long remember the snowstorm of Dec. 6, just three months ago. But it won’t be for the school cancellations. We’ll remember it as the night dozens of residents traveled a snow-packed highway to testify at a public meeting — about housing.

Residents across the West will recognize why so many came out that snowy night.

A proposed development, called Holtan Hills, would expand our town’s footprint but include almost nothing affordable for teachers, firefighters, wait staff or others who comprise the soul of our community and drive its economy.

With no guardrails to support local homeownership, second-home real estate investors would likely gobble up the project’s predominantly high-end units. It’s happening already, with most shunning the long-term rental needs of a few thousand people in this south-central Alaskan community. New owners often offer nightly rentals or just leave their houses unoccupied.

That would mean more empty houses in a town with a severe housing shortage.

The dozens who testified that night, and the hundreds who wrote letters, described the impacts.

They included Emma, who runs a fishing boat with her husband, and whose

young-adult daughter can’t find a place to rent in the town where she grew up and now works. And Amanda, the pizza shop owner, who is overwhelmed trying to help her employees find housing, including the 65-year-old man whose landlord recently booted him out on short notice.

Erin described bailing on her long-held dream of raising a family here after 11 years of pouring her talents into nonprofit youth education programs. She reminded me of Autumn, my daughter’s former piano teacher, who recently moved away after years of teaching music to local kids. She had been unable to find steady housing.

Such stories swirled into that winter night from the heroes every mountain community knows — the ones who clean rentals, provide health care, build houses and teach our kids to speak, spell, ski and say “thank you.”

Business owners were there, too, detailing how the lack of attainable housing causes employee shortages that curtail operating hours, leaving fewer visitor services.

Some who didn’t speak that night included the local workers who sleep in their cars or in drafty cabins on the edge of town. We also didn’t hear from the Filipino parents of my daughter’s close playmate, who are trying hard to remain in the town where their accounting

jobs are located, and where their daughter is thriving.

Dozens of us highlighted how communities across the West have fought similar battles for an entire generation now. We talked about Whitefish, Tahoe, Breckenridge, Boise and other towns. We explained their use of sensible deed restrictions, limits on nightly rentals, incentives that promote local home ownership, and concessions from developers. All helped local workers attain housing.

I know the benefits. Living in Colorado in the 1990s, I accepted a financial incentive to put a deed restriction on my modest condo. After my wife and I sold the condo, the payment became seed money for our first house.

Meanwhile, the condo still holds a deed restriction that helps locals enter the market.

Under such reasonable measures, developers could still make buckets of money while workers gained access to housing.

Someone else who didn’t show that night was the developer, who instead dropped a guest column in the state’s largest newspaper.

We just need elected officials to understand that people can’t work here if they have nowhere to live.

Commonly known as: 740 Vipond Dr, Crescent City, CA 955317958.

MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AS LOT 10 OF VIPOND SUBDIVISION ACCORDING TO THE MAP THEREOF FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF DEL NORTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, ON JUNE 26, 1953 IN BOOK 4 OF MAPS, PAGE 15. EXCEPTING THEREFROM THE FOLLOWING: 1. DEED TO WILLIAM D. GAUDEM, ET UX, RECORDED AUGUST 29, 1967, IN BOOK 129 OF OFFICIAL RECORDS, PAGE 377, DEL NORTE COUNTY RECORDS. 2. DEED TO BYRON K. JUSTUS. 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy

shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice 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.

College of the Redwoods presents the 2023 Faculty & Staff Exhibition

College of the Redwoods presents the 2023 Faculty and Staff Exhibition, beginning Jan. 31 and ending Feb. 16, 2023.

The work in this year’s survey includes drawings, sculptures, functional ceramics, photographs, which sometimes touch on common themes like pattern and repetition in decoration and the natural world, and transformation of materials, objects, and forms. A public reception will take place at the CR Art Gallery on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

CR artists Benjamin Funke, Ruth Jensen, L L Kessner, Tova Lund, Mary Mallahan, Natalia Margulis, Christine Reiher, Dean Smith, Shannon

Sullivan, David Wilson, and Dave Zdrazil, will all show work representing their current studio practices.

Among the included pieces this year, Mallahan’s ceramic work “elucidates meaning and purpose through process, and connects to the user through our shared act of touch, utility, and exchange.”

She writes that, “These functional ceramic pieces.. are examples of my recent focus on presentational vessels: exploring aesthetic value, evoking curiosity, and enriching utility.”

In contrast, Zdrazil presents a “fusion of traditional and contemporary pottery styles,” with influences that include, “sustainability, horticulture, and local materials.”

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Del Norte girls building momentum as playoffs approach

Photos by Ray Hamill

By Ray Hamill

For The Triplicate

The Del Norte girls appear poised for a good playoff run on the basketball court.

With the Eureka Loggers in control in the Big 5 standings coming into the week, winning a league championship might be out of reach for the Warriors.

But a young Del Norte team that has matured about as quickly as anyone could have hoped for still has plenty to play for.

The Warriors should comfortably qualify for the H-DN’s postseason Dick Niclai tournament and should also receive a high seed for the North Coast Section Division-4 playoffs.

This week, the Warriors are ranked No. 4 in their division in the NCS, according to MaxPreps, and No. 7 in the state.

They close out league play next week with games at Fortuna on Wednesday and at home to Arcata on Friday, before the Niclai tournament tips off the following week, with the championship game set for Friday night at Lumberjack Arena.

“Our goal is to play at (Cal Poly Humboldt) in that last game of the year going into sections,” head coach Justin Clifton said. “And we’ll go from there.”

The Warriors will have their hands full getting there.

It’s been a good year for H-DN teams, with Eureka, St. Bernard’s and McKinleyville each also highly ranked in the section and state.

St. Bernard’s is the No. 2 team in NCS Division 4, one spot ahead of McKinleyville, and both teams are No. 3 and No. 5 in the state, respectively.

The young Warriors, however, appear to have the talent to match up against those teams after splitting two league games with McKinleyville and barely falling by one point in a thriller at St. Bernard’s by a score of 42-41 on Saturday.

“The girls are playing tough, they’re playing hard,” Clifton said. “Our defense and our defensive intensity has picked up from the start of the year.”

It’s been a learning process

for the players, but the head coach is seeing the dividends as we head into the business end of the season.

“We don’t play zone, we match up man to man,” said Clifton, who believes that prepares his players better for the collegiate game. “Del Norte plays man basketball.”

Leading the way on this year’s team is junior point guard Lili Nunez, who is playing at an MVP level and has been a handful for opponents all season long.

“She draws the eye from the opposing team,” the coach said of Nunez, who scored 10 points in Saturday’s loss. “She’s got a motor and she just goes.”

Senior Gianna Taylor also is enjoying a big season and has taken on more of a leadership role this year, particularly in a recent tough run of games.

Taylor also brings plenty of experience to the team in her fourth year on the varsity roster.

“She’s really shown a lot of senior leadership, especially the last couple of weeks,” Clifton said. “I’m just proud of what she’s doing.”

Junior Jacalyn Gorbet also has played a big role on both sides of the ball, and has been among the team’s most improved players, while two sophomores— Brooklyn Carter and Lauren Stutes — have stepped up their game this winter and become key components on the team.

“Brooklyn Carter is playing huge for us,” the head coach said. “She’s playing very good basketball right now and I can’t wait to see what she does as a senior.”

Carter began to show signs of what she was capable of late last season and “has really taken that leap this year,” according to her coach.

Stutes was just called up to the varsity squad early

in the season to help fill in when a lot of players were either sick or injured, and she quickly earned herself a permanent spot.

“I moved her up and she did so well I had to keep her up,” Clifton said of the

sophomore standout who pulled down 19 rebounds in her varsity debut and has been averaging roughly 10 a game. “She’s an undersized center, but she plays big.

She definitely has a presence in there.”

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

DNACA seeks applicants for Grant Review Panel Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness (DNACA) is seeking panelists to review local applications to the Upstate California Creative Corps (UCCC).

The UCCC will employ artists to create awareness around areas such as public health, water and energy conservation, climate mitigation, emergency preparedness, relief, and recovery, civic engagement, and social justice.

Says DNACA Executive Director Stephanie La Torre, “$3.38 million will be re-granted to artists, and arts

and social service organizations, as well as units of government, who will employ artists across 19 counties in Northern California. We want to be sure we build a local review panel here in Del Norte that is diverse and knowledgeable, to support both fair process and an inclusive pool of grantees.”

DNACA believes that Del Norte’s people are our most treasured resource. A diverse panel pool ensures the integrity of the grant review process for all applicants, representative of the coun-

ty’s demographics, eclectic geography, and abundance of organizations, perspectives, and knowledge.

Panelists must meet the following criteria: Panelists must be Del Norte county residents; Panelists must be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of multiple applications based on the Upstate California Creative Corps published program goals and review criteria; Panelists must have the ability to take part in three (3) mandatory virtual group

meetings and 10-12 hours reviewing grants, taking notes, and attending meetings and orientations over a six to eight-week period.

Panelists selected to serve the Upstate California Creative Corps will be reviewing only Del Norte county applications. “We will contact panelist applicants in mid-February through early March, 2023. We hope for a

strong and diverse applicant pool,” says La Torre.

Each volunteer panelist will receive a modest honorarium of $150.

imagers. The pricing was set to rise 10% on Feb. 1. The order to purchase was placed January 31, before noon.

The city approved its share of the radios and imagers Tuesday evening in a special meeting of the Measure S Oversight Committee at the Waste Water Treatment conference room. The CFPD approved its allocation, last Friday.

All costs include programming the radios, required cables, chargers, batteries and all related accessories.

Chief Carey anticipates coming in under budget with last moment quotes from Kenwood.

The Measure S Oversight Commiittee also gave direction to the city allocating $600,000 per year for roads repairs.

The city anticipates approximately $2.25 million in added revenue as a result of the 13 percent increase voters approved, in retaining the 8.25 sales tax.
