Abandoned carts foul Crescent City

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

“I’m sickened by the sight of (shopping) carts littered all over Crescent City Del Norte County.”

Those were the words of Mario Westphal of Crescent City.

The retired paramedic and his wife Jeannie donated several hours, two Saturdays ago to retrieve illegally removed carts abandoned on community streets, loading the carts on their personal flatbed trailer and returning the convenience carts back to the store owner.

“The illegal expropriation of shopping carts for personal use has a cascade of negative effects on our community,” said Westphal. “First. It’s a theft. Each shopping cart ranges in the $250-$350 cost per cart.

“It is your responsibility to return the cart to the store. If you decide to keep the cart, you’ve committed a theft. Inevitably, these carts end

abandoned or simply destroyed on the streets, vacant lots, riverbeds and behind our beautiful trees. It’s an eyesore. Stores simply pass the costs of replacing these stolen carts with higher costs to the consumer on existing inventory.”

Westphal expressed frustration with the Board of Supervisors and Crescent City Council.

Westphal challenges supervisors and councilors to get out in their district and help stabilize this eyesore rather than just attend meetings twice a month.

Del Norte County ordinance matches state law and holds the retailer responsible for retrieving the wayward carts.

“Today. My wife and I retrieved a dozen carts and returned seven to Walmart and five to Safeway,” Westphal said.

The Westphals hope to set the example tolerating abandoned carts on streets is a blight to Crescent City.

A big Crescent City welcome to

Dr. John Kirk and his wife Cynthia Parenteau. The couple has acquired the award-winning Port’O Pints brewery/tavern on Northcrest Drive. Kirk, an MD, a gynecologist and obstetrician from Napa, now adds another prime property to the couple’s Del Norte portfolio. Kirk recently acquired the Chase

Bank building, Tsunami Lanes and remainder of the block south of the bowling lanes, for future development.

Port’O Pints Brewing company was founded and owned by Rick and Carol White. The Whites have managed Port’O Pints for eight years and will remain as consultants for a short period while all licenses and permits are transferred.

The brewery has been bestowed with 89 international and national

awards of excellence.

Brewmaster Devon Beach will continue to serve the new ownership and promises patrons the same high quality of expertise. He credits Rick White for his mentorship and hands-on training and expressed his gratitude to the Whites’ and Dr. Kirk and Cynthia Parenteau for the opportunity to practice his craft.

The Kirks shared their vision for Port’O Pints with an emphasis on providing opportunities for young

folks. Cynthia plans to develop an expanded kitchen with and expanded menu. The new owners could hardly contain their energy and excitement in playing a part in changing the face of Crescent City.

Cynthia, who was unable to be in hand for this interview because of the snow conditions on the roads, said, “Crescent City is an undiscovered gem on the Pacific. We love it, here.”

Local fisherman outlines harbor concerns

Randy Smith owns and captains the MISTASEA, a fishing vessel moored in the Crescent City Harbor. As sometimes happens, Captain Smith encountered a mechanical breakdown while crabbing, three weeks ago. Apparently, The MISTASEA lost rudder control and possibly broke the drive shaft. Smith needed immediate assistance.

With the help of his brother crabbers, Fashion Blacksmith, and several very knowledgeable marine diver experts, Smith was able to ease his vessel back into the Harbor; that’s the good news. Gratitude and thanks offered to all who helped the Mistasea. Now the saga becomes unfortunate.

After accessing the inner basin to evaluate the extent of the rudder/ shaft damage, Smith said The Mistasea was unable to be lifted onto the excavator at Fashion Blacksmith pier because of the tide level, Please see HARBOR, Page A9

The California Highway Patrol announced the appointment of Lieutenant Commander Pete Roach to head up the local Crescent City area office, effective March 1.

The 18-year CHP veteran replaces newly-promoted Captain Larry Depee, who oversees operations in greater Humboldt County.

Roach was formally assigned to Crescènt City in 2015 when he promoted to sergeant. Besides the local assignment, Roach has served the CHP in Oakland, Trinity River (Weaverville), investigative services (ISU) and Burnie/Redding office before taking the helm at the Crescent City office.

Before joining the CHP, Roach played professional baseball as a pitcher in both the Giants and Dodger organizations, reaching the AAA level in Albuquerque. Roach shared with the public his observation of a much larger pedestrian population since he has returned to Del Norte County and cautioned drivers to be more vigilant in being aware of this dynamic. Roach underscored the challenge of officer recruitment.

“Recruitment remains a top priority for the California Highway Patrol,” he said. “We’ll be conducting job fairs and visiting area schools talking to kids about our Agency and programs. The CHP plans to host a booth at the Del Norte County Fair.”

“The CHP is all about public safety and saving lives,” Roach added.

The CHP office is located at 1630 Summer Lane across from Walmart.

Kick Off St. Patty’s Celebrations with Possibly Irish

Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness is pleased to announce a concert with the traditional Celtic sounds of the band Possibly Irish.

“We’re happy to bring the next concert in our 2022-23 Performance Series season to the community, with Possibly Irish,” says DNACA Executive Director Stephanie La Torre. “Celtic music is the most requested music genre from our supporters. We are glad to show our appreciation for their partnership through the presentation of this upcoming concert.”

Possibly Irish is known for energetic Celtic performances including foot stomping traditional Irish pub songs and beautiful, rich vocal harmonies. All six bandmates sing and play a wide variety of instruments including traditional Irish instruments like the Bodhran drum, Irish whistle, and fiddle, plus the hammered dulcimer, accordion, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, bass, guitar, and more.

DNACA is inviting the

community to “Kick Off St. Patty’s Day” celebrations with this concert. “It seems a shame to only celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on one day, and we don’t want to pull audiences from other community events. This seems a good way to get the celebrations started,” says La Torre. Suitable for all audiences, Possibly Irish will be presented on Friday March 10, at 7 p.m., at the Tolowa Event Center, inside the Lucky 7 Casino complex at 350 N. Indian Road in Smith River, CA. Tickets are $20 for General, $18 for Seniors over 65, and $15 for Students. They are available through DNACA.Eventbrite. com or at Del Norte Office Supply in Crescent City. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door.

The remainder of DNACA’s Performance Series season includes two more concerts.

Friday, April 7, Grammy® award-winning singer/ songwriter Steve Leslie will appear in “How Sweet it Is!

Steve Leslie Sings James Taylor.” This show is not an impersonator show, although Leslie does bear an uncanny resemblance to the legendary singer. As the show’s title suggests, Leslie will sing the music of James Taylor, but also his own music, which he has penned for Kenny Rogers, Mark Chesnutt, George Strait, Ricky Skaggs, Darius Rucker, and others.

The season will conclude on Friday, May 12, with Gideon Freudmann:CelloBop. This isn’t your grandma’s cello concert! With a modern artist’s approach, Freudmann creates a new realm of unique improvisational blends of classical, blues, jazz, electronic, funk, and folk music - all on an electric cello! Freudmann’s signature sound is nuanced, intricate, and fun.

DNACA would not be able to present such outstanding performances without the generous support of program underwriters Patty Brunsing, Lisé Hamilton, Bill and Kathy Maffett, Nick and Lisa

Rail Music Fund, and Bob and Diane Weir. DNACA’s in-kind supporters are Bicoastal Media, Del Norte Office Supply, and Lucky 7 Casino.

DNACA is funded in part by the California Arts

Council, a state agency and by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Outreach and engagement activities by artists are made possible by TourWest, a program of WESTAF, the Western States Arts Federa-

tion.

Opinion & Letters

IN MY VIEW

letter to the editor Restoration, Restitution and Reparations

PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP?

On February 23, 2023, the City and County offices were closed due to a snowstorm. The Tri-Agency was supposed to have its meeting at 3 pm however, since there had been a public radio announcement over the radio station that the County and City offices were closed it was easy to surmise that the Tri-Agency would not be held. But, The Tri-Agency did in fact have a meeting.

The first person to arrive at the meeting was a public member who tried to open the County door and discovered the doors were locked. Instead of driving home, this public member called two Harbor Commissioners and summonsed them to the County building. The County Counsel let them inside the building. Other calls were made resulting in one City Official and One County Official responding in order to have a quorum.

The Tri-Agency then proceeded to conduct a meeting without informing the public the meeting was still occurring after announcing the county building was closed due to the snowstorm. There were two sources that concluded that the County Building was closed. The Del Norte County Facebook page and KCRE radio station public announcement.

This is a perfect example of corrupted practices by the elected. The Tri-Agency’s fatal flaw of failure was realized in 2012 when their doors were closed and the Director quit due to lack of funds. The City, County, and Harbor District voted to spend 290,000. taxpayer dollars for this failure and defunct Tri-Agency.

Now, the Tri-Agency are having secret meetings after the public was informed the County Buildings were closed which were acknowledged that the fdoors were locked in an article submitted by Kevin Hendrick in the Triplicate Newspaper under the title, “The people who show up.”

To that I say this, why would people show up when the doors of the county were publicly announced they were closed? Since Kevin Hendrick had to summon people to show up, what does that say about his character for transparency? This is an example of what we don’t want in leadership, more of the same.

THE MISSION IS POSSIBLE

I just read Kevin Hendrick’s column from 2/24/23 on the Supervisors’ decisions regarding the housing crisis here. Again, Hendrick has done an EXCELLENT job of unpacking the importance of that meeting by bringing clarity on the complexity of this multi-pronged approach to housing here.

As a board member of Del Norte Mission Possible (DNMP), I am especially impressed because all of these things can be very confusing as we become informed. The DNMP board members are continually reviewing what other counties in northern California and southern Oregon (and for that matter around the country) are doing with creative methods and providing different models for the different types of homeless persons. We too are learning that a “one-size-fits-all approach” is not effective or realistic. We are becoming more strategic in writing and receiving public and private grants.

Thankfully, our supervisors’ are increasingly aware of how we can provide solutions by working together. Negative criticism, complacent attitudes, and scornful statements toward unhoused and unsheltered persons only pull us apart and distract us from our work. I am writing to shout out a big “THANK YOU” to our Board of Supervisors, to Kevin Hendrick for such a superb job of journalistic research and writing, and to those of you in our community who want to intelligently understand and diligently implement practical solutions!

Let’s together prove that this Mission IS Possible here!

“Hey all! Just found out I’m ‘woke’… All this time I just thought I was good at history.” Jon Stewart

It is concerning to see how history is being “whitewashed” in other states. Politicians are deciding what information is suitable to be taught. They say that some students might feel discomfort or guilt when presented with a true account of history.

It is difficult to be comfortable with all aspects of our history, but it is important to learn and remember.

The history of America is filled with atrocities committed during the colonization of our country. When Europeans “discovered” the new world there were already people living here. In the ensuing years the indigenous people were slaughtered, their land was taken, and their culture oppressed. Children were separated from families and placed in mission boarding schools where students were often abused, forced to abandon their language and forsake their cultural traditions.

In 1853, one of the most lethal massacres in American history occurred at Yontocket in Del Norte County. Six hundred Tolowa men, women and children were murdered, and the village burned. More massacres followed with more than 900 Tolowa killed over a 7-year period.

Today this attempted genocide would be prosecuted as war crimes, but there is no record that any of the perpetrators were ever held accountable. There was no justice then. Can we provide some justice now?

What can be done now to correct these injustices and somehow make this right? I have observed three activities that are small steps in the right direction. This includes restoration, restitution, and reparations.

Restoration

“The action of returning something to a former condition.”

Two notable examples of local restoration are the removal of the Klamath River dams and reintroduction of the California condor.

Thanks to the leadership of local tribes, removal of the Klamath dams will commence this year. This will help to restore the historic salmon runs which provide sustenance for tribes and are an integral part of their culture. Nearly half a billion dollars have been secured for this joint state, tribal and corporate undertaking. The demolition plans are drafted. The contractor is in place. Final permits are approved.

The Yurok Tribe, in partnership with Redwood Parks, is also leading the conservation effort to reintroduce the California condor (preygo-neesh) into the Klamath basin. The Yurok perspective was presented in the North Coast Journal (10/7/22), “the restoration of this sacred species is an important element of a far-sighted plan to bring balance back to the coastal rainforest ecosystem in Yurok ancestral territory.”

Restitution

“The restoration of something lost or stolen to its proper owner.”

It would be challenging to give all the tribal lands back to the rightful owner, but there are steps being taken to at least recognize and honor the original place names.

As part of an initiative to identify and rectify derogatory names attached to state parks, in 2021 the California state park formerly known as Patrick’s Point was renamed to Sue-meg, the indigenous Yurok name. The area called Patrick’s Point dates back to the mid-1800s and was named after homesteader Patrick Beegan, who was accused of murdering numerous native Americans.

Speaking in support of this name change, Yurok Tribal Chairman Joseph James said, “Though justice could not be served for those who died, we can move in the right direction.”

In 2022, Peacock Bar was renamed in a collaboration between the Redwood Parks and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation. The new name Seetr’ee-ghin-dvm-dvn is the original name of one of the three villages that the Tolowa inhabited in this area.

According to an article

in the Del Norte Triplicate (11/26/22), “George Peacock immigrated to the area in the 1850s and took over the village. When the Tolowa refused to leave, they were executed, and their orphaned children were kept as indentured servants.”

Though restoring a name is not as useful as returning ownership of the land it is at least symbolically meaningful.

The State is also considering more substantial actions.

On September 25, 2020, Governor Newsom made it the policy of the State of California to “seek opportunities to support California tribes’ co-management of and access to natural lands that are under the control of the State of California.”

There is a proposal to establish co-management agreements between the State and the Tribes whose ancestral lands lie within Jackson Demonstration State Forest in Mendocino County. This will give tribes access to their ancestral lands and could set a precedent for other state and federal lands that were once occupied by local tribes.

Reparations

“The making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.”

Reparations is the most significant action that a government can take to right the wrongs of the past.

The New York Times (1/4/22) reported that the Canadian government announced that it had reached the largest settlement in Canada’s history, paying $31.5 billion to fix the nation’s discriminatory child welfare system and compensate the Indigenous people harmed by it.

The agreement forms the basis for a final settlement of several lawsuits brought by First Nations groups against the Canadian government. Of the overall settlement, half will go toward compensating both the families and children who were unnecessarily removed over the past three decades.

The rest of the money will go toward repairing the child welfare system for First

Kevin Hendrick

Nations children — who are statistically far more likely to be removed from their families — over the next five years to ensure families are able to stay together.

On January 21, 2023, officials announced that the Canadian government and 325 First Nations have agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit, seeking reparations for the loss of language and culture brought on by Indian residential schools.

Canada agreed to pay the $2.8 billion of settlement money into a new trust fund that will operate for 20 years. The fund will be run independent of the federal government and will be governed by a board of nine indigenous directors.

There are no similar initiatives being proposed in the United States, but these are worthy of consideration.

Learn from History I am not suggesting that everyone has a responsibility to contribute to the restoration, restitution or reparations for the harm done to our native American brothers and sisters. But if we remember the impacts that the conquering of America had on indigenous peoples, we may be more sensitive to the justification for supporting corrective action.

We are collectively better off if we can learn from the historical injustices of our past. Then as a society we can strive to make amends and do better in the future.

A Word, Please: Verbs modified by adverbs

By June CasaGrande

“Many older adults said they feel positively about their lives,” the New York Times reported recently.

That sentence probably sounds as acceptable to you as it did to the Times editors. But what if they wrote instead: “Many older adults feel happily about their lives”? The structure is identical, but suddenly the grammar seems wrong. The adjective “happy” would seem like a better choice — many adults feel happy — than the adverb. So “happily” makes a good test of whether the New York Times’ sentence required an adverb or an adjective.

Well-informed people can disagree about whether the Times should have used “positive” instead of “positively.” But in my view, they made a mistake. They should have used the adjective “positive.”

To understand why requires a quick look at which verbs are modified by adverbs.

We were all taught in elementary school that adverbs modify verbs and adjectives modify nouns: Happy adults sing happily. That’s true, but there’s more to the story.

There’s a whole category of verbs that take adjectives, not adverbs, as their complements. They’re called copular or linking verbs, and they either refer back to the subject or deal with the senses.

The most common copular verb is “be,” along with its conjugated forms including “is,” “am” and “are.” Native English speakers understand intuitively that “be” works differently from other verbs. Think about these sentences: He is nicely.

We are hungrily. I am sadly. In every case, an adverb comes after the verb and in every case that’s obviously

the wrong choice. All those sentences need an adjective: He is nice. We are hungry. I am sad. That’s because the verb “be” is a copular verb. It refers back to the subject. And because subjects are nouns or pronouns, they’re modified not by adverbs but by adjectives.

Verbs that deal with the senses also take adjectives instead of adverbs, but the reason is a little harder to understand. The coffee smells good, not well, because the verb “smells” isn’t describing something the coffee is doing. When a bloodhound follows a scent to track down a fugitive, the bloodhound smells well because you’re actually describing the action of smelling. But after a bath, the dog smells good.

Copular verbs create the most confusion when people talk about feeling pity for someone else or remorse. They often say, “I feel bad-

ly.” When they do, they’re trying to follow that rule they learned in school, that adverbs modify verbs, but they don’t understand that the rules that govern regular verbs don’t apply to “feel.” Those rules only apply to “feel” if you want to modify the action of feeling — for example, saying why someone is bad at reading braille: because they feel badly. Because “I feel badly” is so commonly used to express remorse or pity, it’s an established idiom — meaning it’s acceptable even though it’s not grammatical. So you’re OK to use it if you prefer. But it’ll make you sound like you’re trying and failing to use perfect grammar. If grammar is important to you, say “I feel bad” instead.

With some verbs, the question of whether to use an adjective or an adverb is subtle. For example, when

you slice meat into very thin slices, you’re slicing it thin, not thinly. That’s because you’re not describing the manner in which you perform the action — you aren’t acting thinly — you were making the meat itself thin. And because meat is a noun, the adjective in “Slice the meat thin” makes more sense than the adverb “thinly.”

So remember that adverbs aren’t quite as simple as your elementary school teacher led you to believe. If you need a modifier after a verb like “be,” “seem,” “appear” or “act,” or even after a verb describing one of the six senses, an adjective is probably the best choice.

Harbor

From page A1

and the buildup of mud and sludge due to zero dredging since 2013 allowed this immediate crisis to escalate.

The hero group of Smith’s friends eased the vessel on to an adjoining public pier and with the knowledge and assistance of Fashion Blacksmith, expert divers utilizing giant air balloons managed to lift the stern out of the water. Five days later, temporary but nonetheless expensive, repairs

were made allowing Smith and staff to be safely seaworthy. A typical catch on the open season brings in about $12,000 in crab, daily. Had Smith Randy waited for the perfect high-tide and absence of any wind to lift the vessel on to the Fashion Blacksmith pier, he would have experienced a two-week delay.

The greater question must be asked what is the Harbor’s future in commercial fishing? Smith thinks the future for commercial fisherman in Crescent City is not bright.

“This is dismal and devastating news for those who helped build this community,” he said.

Randy Smith continues with his observations:

• Lack of dredging has led to a loss of places to unload and the ability to haul out.

• Repairs for all vessels will be done elsewhere at a greater cost to fishermen. Economic impact is a serious negative. Money leaves the community with greater risk to lives and vessels.

• There are no long-term infrastructure projects needed by the fishermen, planned; this includes the fuel dock and processors of places to unload. Long-term leases are going to Harbor tenants not related to commercial fishing.

• Without long-term leases, operators (businesses) will not invest in the Harbor, in either infrastructure or equipment, without the ability to recoup costs and make a profit.

• Due to lack of dredging, valuable permits were lost during the period from 20182020.

• The Coast Guard has vacated its presence and fellow fishermen must support each other, in emergencies.

• The Harbor did not assist commercial fishermen in obtaining Marine Stewardship Council certification for processing shrimp. This oversight caused a lack of revenue picked up by Oregon and Washington, affecting federal grants.

In a recent interview with Harbormaster Tim Petrick, he delivered more sobering news concerning Harbor dredging.

The Harbormaster delivered good news/ bad news on expedient dredging.

“The State Water Board will approve the soil spoils for beneficial reuse,” he said.

He continued with the dim news, “…the soil reuse needs an approved permitted project before approving the beneficial soil re-use.”

The Army Corps of Engineers plans to dredge the federal channel in the summer of 2024.

Association, which allowed them to teach nursing and medical certification courses such as Basic Life Support (BSL), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), along with other certification courses. As Dean of Nursing and Allied

Health, Burdick will provide added leadership and support for faculty and for the new Director of Nursing, Jessica Howard. Howard has a long history with CR, where she received her Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) degree in 2001. She returned in 2003 for the LVN-RN (Registered Nurse) program and went on to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at

4 Day Forecast

Humboldt State University, graduating in 2007. After a brief break, she returned to school once again and completed the Master’s in Nursing Administration program at Sonoma State University.

She has held many positions in the Emergency Departments of both Mad River Community Hospital and St. Joseph’s - from staff nurse to manager, Pre-hospital Nurse

Coordinator, and Pre-hospital Pediatric Nurse Liaison. She also brings experience from work in chemotherapy infusion, palliative care, home infusion, and as a Break Nurse on Med/Surg unit. She has taught at CR since 2011, accepting a full time position in fall 2019 and is certified to teach ACLS and PALS. In addition to management

changes, the college has invested over $110,000.00 in new simulation mannequins and equipment and hired a full-time faculty member for the Del Norte campus. They have made it a priority to return to face-to-face classes, and passed the Board of Vocational Nursing & Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) survey and site inspections early this fall.

“We are excited about the restructuring of our nursing program,” says CR President Keith Flamer. “The healthcare industry is constantly evolving, and it is our responsibility to prepare our students for the challenges they will face in their careers. We are confident that the changes we are making ensure that the community has access to skilled healthcare professionals.”
