Supervisors direct probation to close Juvenile Hall

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

The Board of Supervisors has directed Chief Probation Officer Lonnie Reyman to close the unoccupied Juvenile Hall. The vote to shutter the 23-year-old building on Williams Drive was 3-2. Supervisors Dean Wilson, Joey Borges and Chris Howard voted yes. Supervisors Valerie Starkey and Darrin Short voted no.

“The decision to close the Hall is very difficult but the least impacting of several more severe options,” Reyman said.

There are presently three youths in custody, all in Humboldt County.

Reyman states those minors are receiving services identical to what Del Norte County would offer. Housing will continue to be dependent on capacity. With the inability to recruit staff, keeping the hall open remains unsustainable, according to Reyman.

The chief probation officer reported to supervisors: • There have been six recruitment cycles since July of 2020 essentially open until filled.

• There have been 93 qualified applicants in almost 33 months of open recruitment.

• 35 showed up for initial testing and interviews.

• 13 succeeded to final inter-

views.

• 11 employment offers were extended.

• Two qualified applicants accepted offers.

• At present, there are six open positions available in Del Norte County Probation.

Reyman continued, “Staff impact is significant. The workload is uncertain. This uncertainty breeds low morale. The special purpose schedule is not a sustainable model.”

The nine employees assigned to the hall will be reduced down to a staff of five officers and one supervisor who will be assigned to work in custody, transportation and programs. The two cook positions will discontinue.

Paul Dillard, chairman of the Del Norte Juvenile Justice Commission called the closing.“…a sad day for the county. It makes no sense not to staff Juvenile Hall. People just don’t give a damn.”

He questioned the common problem as to why the attrition rate was so high and recruitment was so difficult.

The process of a reduction in the workforce must be reviewed by the employees’ union.

There remains approximately 25 youths under Probation Department authority who will continue the non- incarcerated supervision of Please see HALL, Page A3

Chief Probation Officer Lonnie Reyman will begin the process of closing Juvenile Hall after the board of supervisors voted 3-2 to order the facility to be shuttered.

Sheriff: Euthanasia policy at dog pound unchanged Dogs only put down if public threat

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Four dogs were recently euthanized by the Del Norte Dog Pound.

The report comes from Sheriff Garrett Scott.

The sheriff reported the animals put down following current agriculture code deeming an animal as vicious and posing a danger to the community. In December, a volunteer at the pound was seriously injured by a vicious dog and the animal was euthanized.

The sheriff assumed control of the pound in January and stated, “I regret to report these recent euthanizations but when the public safety is a risk, I must consider that a priority and adhere to policy already in place.”

Sheriff Scott spoke about approPlease see POUND, Page A2

The Del Norte County Dog Pound was forced to put down several dogs recently because they were aggressive and a public risk. But Sheriff Garrett Scott said that is not a change in policy and very few animals will be impacted.

Fashion Blacksmith, harbor district meet in mediation

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Last week, The Triplicate published an article from Captain Randy Smith of the Mistacy. In the report, Smith outlined the recent experience of a rudder malfunction on his vessel while on the open sea and his ability to safely return to the Crescent City Harbor with the assistance of fellow commercial fishing vessels. Smith also shared his inability to have his vessel lifted up and examined by vessel repair specialist Fashion Blacksmith. Smith denoted several deficiencies in harbor operations and his opinion of the harbor’s disdain for commercial fishing.

When the Triplicate sought out harbor response through Harbor Master, Tim Petrick, he stated he was precluded from responding, citing an ongoing lawsuit

between Fashion Blacksmith and the Crescent City Harbor.

This past week, the litigants and their respective counsels met, called witnesses and heard sworn testimony before a three-person arbitration board.

Fashion Blacksmith and its owner Ted Long are represented by George Mavris and Chris Van Hook.

Crescent City Harbor is represented by Cruser, Mitchell, Novitz, Sanchez, Gaston and Zimet and Best, Best and Krieger.

Several witnesses including Petrick delivered testimony. Additional witnesses were called through Friday, March 24. The arbitration board concluded its hearing and will now deliberate on its findings. A decision is expected after midApril.

This story is ongoing. The Triplicate will follow and report, accordingly.

California prioritizes key locations to improve wildlife connectivity

Photos by Roger Gitlin/The Triplicate

Over the last few weeks, a couple of dogs at the Del Norte County Dog Pound were euthanized after it was determined the dogs were too dangerous to be adopted. Sheriff Garrett Scott, below, said that is not a change in the pound’s policy, adding there are still 26 dogs available for adoption.

priate protocol once a dog becomes county property.

“All dogs are tested for temperament,” he said. “Our department will continue to follow procedures which support public safety. We need more volunteers, more adoptions and more legal spay and neuter services in Del Norte County.”

Currently there are 26 dogs ready for fostering or adoption. The dog pound is located at 2650 W. Washington Blvd. and can be reached at (707) 464-7235.

Popular trends in home exteriors

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has released an updated report identifying the most important areas to advance wildlife connectivity projects. The report, “Restoring California’s Wildlife Connectivity 2022,” prioritizes which roadways, railways and other human-created infrastructure are the greatest barriers to wildlife movement addressing where habitat connectivity projects are needed most. The report lists 62 obstacles statewide, with 12 of those recognized as top priority barriers to remove. A vast majority of the barriers are part of the state highway system, but rail lines and canals also limit the ability of wildlife to roam freely.

The new report underscores California’s international leadership on improving wildlife connectivity. It is also a key strategy within California’s landmark 30x30 target, which calls for the state to conserve 30 percent of its land and coastal waters by 2030 and identifies wildlife overcrossings as a means of protecting California’s biodiversity. The new connectivity report serves as an important guide to state, federal, tribal and local governments.

“Connectivity is essential to life; it’s key for us as people and the same is true for animals,” said CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham.

“Animals need connection to habitat, places to live, to thrive, food and water, and freedom and room to roam.

This report highlights top obstacles to that freedom and room to roam within the state so California can take appropriate action to right those wrongs.”

The 2022 report expands upon CDFW’s 2020 report with additional barrier infor-

mation, and the new version is expected to play a major role in the California Department of Transportation’s road project designs to reduce the number of wildlife collisions.

A recently signed Safe Roads and Wildlife Protection Act requires Caltrans to identify barriers to wildlife movement and prioritize crossing structures.

“Barriers are one thing humans have control over because they’re man made,” said CDFW Senior Environmental Scientist Melanie Gogol-Prokurat. “We are excited to remediate them and fix issues so wildlife can move across the landscape. If a population becomes isolated it can lead to inbreeding, which causes detrimental effects and can eventually lead to the population dying out.”

Current California examples of wildlife-friendly infrastructure include the recently approved Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in Agoura Hills, northwest of Los Angeles, and the Laurel Curve project, a Highway 17 undercrossing in Santa Cruz County, on which construction is nearing completion.

The state’s 12 top priority barriers featured in “Restoring California’s Wildlife Connectivity 2022” stretch from a section of Highway 101 near the Oregon state line to a piece of Interstate 8, just north of the U.S./Mexico border.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of this shift to big-picture thinking for wildlife,” said Bonham. “We’ve got funding from the State Legislature and the Wildlife Conservation Board to invest in connectivity projects, and we’re finding actual projects on the ground in our partnership with Caltrans that are really making a difference.”

AFFORDABLE WAYS TO MAKE HOMES MORE APPEALING TO MODERN BUYERS Energy-ef�cient upgrades: In�ation has driven up the cost of just about everything over the last year-plus, and energy is no exception. So it should come as no surprise that 83 percent of prospective home buyers are looking for energy-ef�cient windows and appliances in a home. These features save money and bene�t the planet, making them a win-win among buyers.

Exterior lighting: The NAHB report indicates that exterior lighting is the most sought-after outdoor feature.

The good news for prospective sellers is that exterior lighting is an inexpensive and instant way to transform a property at night. Some solar-powered lighting along walkways and outside the front door can make a home feel more safe, while some uplighting of large trees in the backyard can produce a sight to behold once the sun goes down.

Patio: Patio spaces have long been popular, but that popularity reached new heights during the pandemic. When forced to stay at home for long periods of time, millions of people longed for ways to spend more time outdoors without breaking lockdown rules. Patios provide outdoor living spaces, and 82 percent of buyers indicated they wanted a patio with their next property.

Pro-Tip:

Homeowners looking to sell their homes can consider these favored features to increase their properties' appeal to modern buyers.

Certain homes have an undeniable wow factor. That instant appeal tends to be noticeable the moment visitors pull up to the curb, and it might be a byproduct of homeowners’ willingness to embrace the latest exterior design trends.

Trends come and go, but recognition of the current fashions can help homeowners create that highly sought-after wow factor. The following are some recent trends in home exteriors that have helped homeowners set their properties apart.

Wood

Natural wood has undeniable appeal, and it hasn’t only found newfound devotion among home interior decorators. Natural wood garage doors create a sense of warmth and can set a home apart from others with steel doors, which tend to be the most popular garage door material. In addition to the garage door, natural wood entry doors and wood decks are popular ways to impart this classical, warm look to a home’s exterior.

Painted brick Like natural wood, brick is a traditional material that’s both sturdy and classical. But homeowners can add character to brick with a coat of paint, which has become a popular trend in recent years. Light tones tend to be most popular when painting bricks. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens note that this could prove a long-term commitment if homeowners so desire, as a properly painted brick exterior could last as long as 20 years.

Hardscaping Hardscaping isn’t a new trend, but it has been trending in recent years. Hardscaping is an umbrella term that includes everything from outdoor living rooms to incorporating natural stone into a landscape. Outdoor living rooms are one hardscaping trend that has become increasingly popular of late. These spaces serve as an extension of indoor living spaces. The home improvement experts at HGTV note that recently homeowners have looked to create covered outdoor rooms that can be enjoyed more frequently than patios or decks that are not protected from the elements.

Outdoor lighting It makes sense that individuals looking to spend more time enjoying their properties outdoors would want more lighting outside. Ambient outdoor lighting can be utilized throughout a property. Such lighting can light up walkways and driveways and be used to light up landscaping features like trees and gardens.

Home design trends tend to be fickle. But recognition of the current trends in exterior home design can set homes apart and turn properties into awe-inspiring places to enjoy the great outdoors.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Merkley, Panetta legislation to protect monarch butterfly Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley teamed up with Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) to announce the 2023 Monarch Action, Recovery and Conservation of Habitat (MONARCH) Act. The bill was introduced today in the U.S. Senate and will be introduced in the House of Representatives in the coming weeks. The bicameral MONARCH Act would help prevent the extinction of the western monarch butterfly and other critically important pollinators.

“We’ve all experienced the moment of childhood joy and excitement when we spot a butterfly dancing in the air,” said Senator Merkley.

“Though western monarch populations were already

in peril, this year’s extreme winter storms have hit overwintering monarchs hard and made addressing this threat even more urgent. Protecting monarch butterflies and other pollinators is a critical issue that requires sustainable solutions, and we must do everything we can to implement experts’ conservation plans and save these species before time runs out.”

“Fortunately, we in California’s 19th Congressional District have long treasured the western monarch butterflies who overwinter in our communities. Unfortunately, we recently are experiencing the significant decline of their population partly due to the shrinking of their habitats,” said Rep. Panetta. “That’s

why I’m continuing to lead the House effort to provide the necessary federal investments to restore their habitat and help save the western monarch butterfly from extinction. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and the Senate to conserve and restore their habitats so that together we can protect and perpetuate monarchs and other essential pollinators.”

The MONARCH Act would provide urgent protections for the struggling western monarch butterfly, an iconic and important butterfly whose population has dropped by 99% since the 1980s. This legislation would authorize $62.5 million for projects aimed at conserving

the western monarch and an additional $62.5 million to implement the Western Monarch Butterfly Conservation Plan, which was prepared by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies in January 2019. The $62.5 million in funding for each effort would be divided into five annual installments of $12.5 million.

The MONARCH Act is cosponsored by Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Martin Heinrich (D-NM).

Today’s introduction

builds on a series of actions led by Senator Merkley to revive the populations of western monarch and other pollinators, like honeybees— including the introduction and passage of the bipartisan Monarch and Pollinator Highway Act; hosting, in partnership with the Department of Interior, a Monarch Butterfly Summit; investing $1 million in the National

Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Conservation Fund; establishing a Pollinator Conservation Center at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and, as Chair of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that funds the U.S. Department of Interior, securing $7 million in funding for western monarch conservation activities.

Hall

joins Trinity, Siskiyou, Lassen, Lake, Glenn and Modoc counties,which have removed their juvenile halls across Northern California.

Humboldt remains the least geographically-challenged county and is contiguous with Del Norte.

The tentative schedule is to close Juvenile Hall by June 30, pending resolution of union grievances against those displaced.

Chief Probation Officer Reyman recommends the Board of Supervisors relinquish its long- standing defensive position on juvenile detention or go on the offense to create an environment that Del Norte County can sustain long-term.

these minors.

Supervisor Short asked Reyman if hall operations can been suspended rather than closed, to avoid anticipated red tape in re-opening the hall if and when staff can be recruited and the state amends its protocol on how youths who offend or present a danger to themselves or the community may be disciplined.

Reyman stated the status of the hall is listed as “unoccupied,” which would satisfy the Board of State Community Corrections if conditions improve in staff recruitment.

Nonetheless, Supervisor Short voted no on the motion to give direction to probation to close Juvenile Hall.

IN MY VIEW

When giants fall, And The Beat Goes On we need to listen “The cars keep going faster all the time Bum still cries, ‘Hey buddy, have you got a dime?’

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-de-da-de-de La-de-da-de-da”

By JOE STONE

“God has cared for these trees …but he cannot save them from fools.”

— John Muir In just two years, wildfire has killed an estimated 13 to 19% of all mature giant sequoia trees. These most massive of trees grow only on certain western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, the mountain range that divides California’s Central Valley farmland from the Great Basin Desert.

The loss of so many “big trees,” as conservationist John Muir called them, is unprecedented.

Many of the best-known stands of giant sequoias grow more than 6,000 feet above sea level in three national parks — Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite. A visit to these immense trees typically begins with a drive up from Fresno. From the valley floor, Highway 180 curves into foothills, then winds onto steep, tree-covered mountainsides where cooler temperatures and higher humidity take the edge off the California sun.

The road passes through Kings Canyon National Park, where visitors get their first impression of the big trees.

As Muir acknowledged, words aren’t sufficient to convey the awe of that first encounter with giant sequoias: “No description can give anything like an adequate idea of their singular majesty, much less of their beauty.”

He added, “Nothing hurts the big tree.” Except in our time: severe wildfire and the chainsaw.

Muir’s words helped inspire the national parks that have protected many sequoia groves from logging, but our concern about wildfires led to government-mandated fire suppression for more than 100 years. Through a federal agency’s zeal, the big trees are in trouble. In the Sierra Madre’s fire regime, developed over centuries, sequoia groves burned every 6 to 35 years. Wildfire thinned the smaller trees and converted fine fuels into soil nutrients.

Without fire, sequoia cones don’t open and spread their seeds. The same fire also creates openings in the forest canopy, giving seedlings the sunlight they need to survive.

Research shows that giant sequoia populations were “stable or increasing” from 500 B.C. through the 1800s.

Then came the 1900s, when “there was a massive failure of giant sequoia reproduction.” Without fire, sequoia seeds stopped sprouting, while the buildup of highly combustible fine fuels on the forest floor, and the greater density of smaller trees, increased the risk of catastrophic wildfire.

As scientists began to understand the problem, the National Park Service implemented a prescribed burning program in giant sequoia groves. Evidence from recent wildfires indicates the program has been successful.

Areas treated with prescribed fire burned less intensely, mature sequoias did not die

and replaced with a less political title, “In My View”.

However, Gitlin has been taken off the editorial page.

As the Triplicate Publisher explained to me, it is inappropriate to have a reporter writing an opinion on the editorial page. This should be reserved only for editorial staff.

There are also production and publication schedule changes coming. This week will be the last week that the Triplicate is published on a Friday.

Starting next week, March 29, the Triplicate will be published on Wednesday. For me this means that I must submit two columns on the same day for these two upcoming issues.

“In other counties, election officials have been harassed and even threatened by people that did not like the outcome of an election. Locally this has not occurred.”

“I trust that our elections are run fairly, and the votes are counted accurately. When I ran for 5th District Supervisor in 2020, I did not win, but never did I think about claiming that there was voter fraud or that the vote count was wrong.”

“Sometimes candidates simply do not get enough votes and they lose.”

“It is a critical requirement of our democracy that we trust our elections and accept the outcome. When an election is over, we should all come together to solve the many problems and challenges that we face.”

Over the last year we have had two elections, a primary election last June and a general election in November.

Despite my opinions, most of the local candidates that I supported in the 2022 elections did not win, including my own campaign for Harbor Commissioner.

The proposal is located within the California Coastal Zone and the whole parcel is in close proximity to wetlands associated with Marhoffer Creek. The proposal includes placement of an 810 square foot unit that would require no vegetation removal and would be placed no closer to the wetlands than the existing house.

Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) in the form of Sitka Spruce is located to the east of the proposal and, according to the biological assessment, the project is sited and designed to prevent impacts to ESHA as the new ADU would be placed in the existing backyard over maintained grass.

The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: LOT 6 BELL HOLE LOOP , CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531, no common designation. Directions may be obtained pursuant to a written request submitted to the Beneficiary c/o MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps at 17100 Gillette Ave, Irvine, CA 92614 within 10 days from the first publication of this notice. Directions shall be deemed reasonably sufficient to locate the property if information as to the location of the property is given by reference to the direction and approximate distance from the nearest crossroads, frontage road, or access road. 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 made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $122,035.40 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000969-22-1.

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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER 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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000969-22-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The 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: $ 73,225.65.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2022-01626-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 OF TRUSTEE’S 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 (866)-960-8299, or visit this internet website https://www. altisource.com/loginpage.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case 2022-01626-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, 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.

Last week, on recommendation from California and Oregon agency rep-resentatives and industry advisors, the National Marine Fisheries Ser-vice took inseason action to cancel ocean salmon fishery openers that were scheduled between Cape Falcon, Ore., and the U.S./Mexico border through May 15.

The sport fishery had been scheduled to open off California on April 1. The actions were taken to protect Sacramento River fall Chinook, which returned to the Central Valley in 2022 at near-record low numbers, and Klamath River fall Chinook, which had the second lowest abundance forecast

since the current assessment method began in 1997.

The Pacific Fishery Management Council has produced three regulatory options for the May 16 through May 15, 2024, time period.

AFFORDABLE WAYS TO MAKE HOMES MORE APPEALING TO MODERN BUYERS Energy-ef�cient upgrades: In�ation has driven up the cost of just about everything over the last year-plus, and energy is no exception. So it should come as no surprise that 83 percent of prospective home buyers are looking for energy-ef�cient windows and appliances in a home. These features save money and bene�t the planet, making them a win-win among buyers.

Exterior lighting: The NAHB report indicates that exterior lighting is the most sought-after outdoor feature.

The good news for prospective sellers is that exterior lighting is an inexpensive and instant way to transform a property at night. Some solar-powered lighting along walkways and outside the front door can make a home feel more safe, while some uplighting of large trees in the backyard can produce a sight to behold once the sun goes down.

Patio: Patio spaces have long been popular, but that popularity reached new heights during the pandemic. When forced to stay at home for long periods of time, millions of people longed for ways to spend more time outdoors without breaking lockdown rules. Patios provide outdoor living spaces, and 82 percent of buyers indicated they wanted a patio with their next property.

Pro-Tip:

Homeowners looking to sell their homes can consider these favored features to increase their properties' appeal to modern buyers.

Certain homes have an undeniable wow factor. That instant appeal tends to be noticeable the moment visitors pull up to the curb, and it might be a byproduct of homeowners’ willingness to embrace the latest exterior design trends.

Trends come and go, but recognition of the current fashions can help homeowners create that highly sought-after wow factor. The following are some recent trends in home exteriors that have helped homeowners set their properties apart.

Wood

Natural wood has undeniable appeal, and it hasn’t only found newfound devotion among home interior decorators. Natural wood garage doors create a sense of warmth and can set a home apart from others with steel doors, which tend to be the most popular garage door material. In addition to the garage door, natural wood entry doors and wood decks are popular ways to impart this classical, warm look to a home’s exterior.

Painted brick Like natural wood, brick is a traditional material that’s both sturdy and classical. But homeowners can add character to brick with a coat of paint, which has become a popular trend in recent years. Light tones tend to be most popular when painting bricks. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens note that this could prove a long-term commitment if homeowners so desire, as a properly painted brick exterior could last as long as 20 years.

Hardscaping Hardscaping isn’t a new trend, but it has been trending in recent years. Hardscaping is an umbrella term that includes everything from outdoor living rooms to incorporating natural stone into a landscape. Outdoor living rooms are one hardscaping trend that has become increasingly popular of late. These spaces serve as an extension of indoor living spaces. The home improvement experts at HGTV note that recently homeowners have looked to create covered outdoor rooms that can be enjoyed more frequently than patios or decks that are not protected from the elements.

Outdoor lighting It makes sense that individuals looking to spend more time enjoying their properties outdoors would want more lighting outside. Ambient outdoor lighting can be utilized throughout a property. Such lighting can light up walkways and driveways and be used to light up landscaping features like trees and gardens.

Home design trends tend to be fickle. But recognition of the current trends in exterior home design can set homes apart and turn properties into awe-inspiring places to enjoy the great outdoors.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Yurok Tribe Hires Investigator to Pursue MMIP Cases The Yurok Tribe recently hired an accomplished law enforcement professional to investigate existing and new cases involving Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) in California’s North Coast region.

MMIP Investigator Julia Oliveira brings to the new position 25 years of relevant experience. The Wyandotte Tribe citizen spent two decades with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), where she occupied a wide variety of positions, ranging from patrol deputy to school resource officer.

During her career, she conducted missing persons and child sexual abuse investigations. Oliveira continues to serve on HCSO’s Crisis Intervention Team and is its longest serving member. For the last four years, Oliveira led the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribal Police Department.

She also occupies a leadership position within the United States Office of Violence Against Women’s Task Force on Research on Violence Against American Indian and Alaska Native Women.

“I applied for the MMIP investigator position because I am very passionate about this subject,” Oliveira said. “Throughout the State of California, very few resources are allocated to cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people.

I was very excited when I saw the opportunity to be the person who is solely focused on finding missing Indigenous people.”

“We are so fortunate that Julia decided to accept the investigator position. She has the ideal background for this important job,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “She will help bring closure and justice to the families of missing tribal citizens. The new investigator will be engaged in our MMIP prevention effort too.”

Oliveira is the first fully dedicated tribal MMIP investigator in the State of California. She works within the Yurok Office of the Tribal Prosecutor, which is part of the Tribe’s MMIP response team. The investigator will conduct inquiries into current and cold MMIP cases. Prior to accepting the position, Oliveira served on the Office of the Tribal Prosecutor’s MMIP Roundtable. The roundtable group meets on a regular basis to discuss solutions to the MMIP crisis and is currently comprised of the following tribes: Yurok Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe, Trinidad Rancheria, Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria and Quartz Valley Tribe. It is open to all tribes in the region.

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians awarded the Yurok Tribe a grant to hire the MMIP investigator.

In addition to funding the investigator position, the $350,000 grant will support the creation of a database that will be employed to analyze patterns in missing persons cases and identify potential perpetrators. A portion of the San Manuel award will be invested in billboard

space to raise awareness about specific cases. It will also support the deployment of canine handers, human remains detection dogs and ground-penetrating radar when necessary.

In December of 2021, the Yurok Tribe declared an MMIP emergency in response to a spike in MMIP cases in Northern California, including the disappearance of Hupa citizen Emmilee Risling. Risling was last seen on the Yurok Reservation on October 14, 2021. The declaration mobilized a multidisciplinary team to build the Tribe’s capacity to confront the many facets of this complex and indelible crisis. The Tribe formed the prosecutor’s office and later hired a policy analyst to advocate for targeted legislation at the state and federal levels. In 2022, the Tribe started sponsoring state legislation to address specific aspects of the MMIP crisis.

In August of 2022, the California legislature passed the Feather Alert bill. The Yurok Tribe-sponsored bill established a system to get the word out when Native people are reported missing under unusual circumstances or are at risk. In October of 2022, the Tribe hosted the first Statewide Tribal MMIP Summit. Nearly 300 tribal leaders, tribal police and impacted families from every corner of the state, as well as state legislators and law enforcement, attended the summit.

Earlier this year, the Tribe made a $200 million budget request to the State of California to combat the MMIP crisis. The proposal aims to support MMIP response plans and culturally informed prevention work in Northern, Central and Southern California. In February of 2023, the Yurok Tribe and U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) announced a new MMIP pilot project, which is part of USMS’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Initiative. The cooperative project brings together personnel from the Yurok Tribe, including the Yurok Tribal Police Department and Yurok Office of the Tribal Prosecutor, and USMS to share information, identify goals, and develop strategies for improving public safety for the Tribe, its citizens, and the broader community. The government-to-government partnership with USMS will also enhance the new MMIP investigation program.

“We hope to leverage our relationship with the US Marshals to build out our investigative program,” said Yurok Prosecutor Rosemary Deck.

California has the fifth highest number of MMIP cases in the US. Nearly every one of the state’s 110 federally recognized tribes are experiencing MMIP crises.

On February 7, 2023 the Yurok Tribe organized the first MMIP Day of Action at the California capitol. More than 500 tribal leaders, tribal citizens from all over California and MMIP survivors participated in the day of action.

Help the Humboldt Arts Council “Raise the Roof” The recent series of atmospheric rivers and high winds have damaged the roof of the Historic Carnegie Library, now the Morris Graves Museum of Art, and the Humboldt Arts Council is asking the community for support to replace the damaged roof.

In early January, HAC staff arrived to find a flood in the Youth Gallery and Classroom, which is in the French Basement on the lower level of the MGMA. Thankfully HAC Staff are trained in Emergency Preparedness and the necessary but temporary fixes have taken place to ensure the safety of the building and the over 900 objects in the HAC Permanent Collection that document the history of the arts of the North Coast.

Now the HAC needs community support to raise $65,000, almost one-quarter of the HAC Annual Budget, to replace the roof before next winter.

The Historic Carnegie Library, now the MGMA, has provided the community monthly programs, exhibitions, and events for over 23 years and served the community for almost ten-decades in its previous life as the first free public library in the State of California.

The MGMA welcomes over 45,000 visitors annually, provides over 40 exhibitions each year, houses the HAC Permanent Collection and serves as the epicenter of arts and culture each month

during First Saturday Night Arts Alive and other public events.

“The community has fond memories of the Historic Carnegie Library, which was once the City of Eureka’s main social and cultural center, with a foreign language section, engaging books and periodicals, and a children’s reading room,” says Jemima Harr, Executive Director-Curator.

“Since the year 2000, HAC Staff and Board have worked tirelessly to continue engaging our constituents through exhibitions and programs that meet the needs of our community. From Youth and Family Programs, monthly Jazz performances, and art classes and camps, the MGMA has fostered the development of new memories for our community and we need their support to protect and preserve this important treasure.”

History of the Carnegie Library Opened on January 1, 2000, the Morris Graves Museum of Art is housed in the treasured Historic Carnegie Library, now the crown jewel of the arts community. The building gracefully houses seven premier galleries; a young artists’ academy; a performance rotunda for music, dance and the literary arts; and the administrative offices of the Humboldt Arts Council.

After receiving a $20,000 Carnegie Library Grant in 1901, the Humboldt County library trustees held a competition and selected local architects Knowles Evans and B.C. Tarver of Eureka to design the building from red brick and Mad River granite exterior with two story solid redwood columns ringing a colorful tile mosaic floor in the domed Rotunda.

The Carnegie Free Library in Eureka, California was built in Classical Revival Style in 1902.

The Library was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 recognized both as a Carnegie Library and an example of Classical Revival architecture in a nearly-original condition.

In 1996, the Humboldt Arts Council, purchased the library from the City of Eureka for one-dollar, and began the Carnegie Restoration Project to save Eureka’s historic building and transform it into a cultural center and regional art museum.

Admission is $5 for adults; $2 for seniors (age 65 and over), military veterans, and students with ID; children 17 and under free; Families with an EBT Card and valid ID receive free admission through the Museums for All initiative, Museum members are free.

Admission is always free for everyone on the first Saturday of every month, including First Saturday Night Arts Alive!, 6-9 p.m. and Mini Masters at the MGMA.

Real estate agent honored A Brookings broker/realtor has been ranked #1 in transactions for the entire state of Oregon, and #3 for volume in 2021. Jude Hodge was also the #1 RE/MAX broker in Oregon, in the Real Trends Top 1000, and ranked #112 in the Nation for All Agencies.

Paying for advertising has also played a part in Jude’s success. “Not advertising is like winking in the dark — nobody knows,” she said. Advertising isn’t cheap, but it is money well spent. “If you think success is expensive, wait until you’ve paid for failure.”

Jude said her success is directly related to her passion and her time commitment to real estate. “I am diligent with my time each and every day,” said Jude. “ I work 24/7— no kidding! You must make sacrifices for success, and for me the sacrifice is time.”

Jude has been published in Entrepreneur magazine, Networking Times, Cutting Edge Media, Home Business Connection, Youngevity’s Magazine, Money Makers Monthly, Networker’s Advantage and is a contributing author in “Build it Big,” a book published by Dearborn Publishing for Direct Selling Women’s Alliance.

Jude has lived in Brookings, Ore., for more than 30 years.

With a background in internet marketing and sales, she has been a Top Multi Million Producer since her first year in real estate. “Currently I am in the top 0.5 percent of all agents in the U.S. in sales and volume,” she said. “I love my career and serving my clients. I am dedicated to results.”

The real estate industry has changed quite a bit since Jude first started her career. She said it has gone from foreclosures to waiting lists, to multiple offers and offers way over asking price. “Brookings is now a destination for buyers, and we have more buyers than we have inventory to sell,” she said.

But as the industry has evolved, so has Jude. “I feel like real estate is literally in my blood. I am not hesitant to take on a luxury home, a commercial property, land, residential or otherwise. I have learned enough to be 100 percent confident in my abilities. I love people and working with the public. It is what I was supposed to do.”

As for her future plans, Jude will continue to serve clients to the best of her ability. “I never want anyone to feel that they were just a transaction. I am honored for every seller and buyer that calls me. I look forward to helping others every day. It is wonderful to meet the people I get to work with and get to know them and their families.”

As leader of her industry, Jude has some advice for other women seeking success. “Get up every day, give it your all, dress for success and never give up. Someone once told me that you must work as if the rent were due every day to gain success, and that is the truth. That is how you do it. Yesterday ended last night, so let yesterday stay where it is. You get a do over each day, and your attitude is everything! As my mentor Bill Pike of 25 years would say, ‘Let go of stinking thinking’.”

Jude also credits the support of her husband, Dave, for her continued success. “How fortunate I am to have a husband that supports my crazy schedule, late night phone calls, sitting on the side of the road while going somewhere so I can talk to a client. He does so much for me, hangs my signs, fills my fliers, and does all my filming.

He’s very supportive, and I am beyond blessed.”

Her awards have been numerous, but below are some of her most recent accomplishments: • 2020-2021 Diamond Club Award • 2017-2021 Readers’ Choice Gold Award Best Local Realtor • 2021 Real Trends #1 State of Oregon - Transactions • 2021 Real Trends #112 in the Nation - All agencies • 2020-2021 #1 RE/MAX Broker in the State of Oregon To contact Jude, call 541-813-9261 or 541-801-3333, visit her website at homewithjude.com or email her at judehodge@gmail.com

7 Mistakes to Avoid When Decluttering Your Home This Spring Cleaning Season

The spring cleaning season is always such a great time to refresh your home and everyday lifestyle.

Are you already planning to deep clean your carpets and rugs, clean all of your home's windows, and wipe down all counters and cabinets?

These are all fantastic steps to take, but have you thought about taking the time to declutter each room? You may not know it, but if you have a cluttered home, you are unknowingly hurting your mental wellbeing.

It’s true — clutter takes up physical space, uses your mental energy, and can amplify stress and anxiety. In my experience as the Professional Organizer and Brand Ambassador of Modular Closets (a DIY customizable closet system that organizes any space in your home), I have found that decluttering and organizing your home is one surefire way to live healthier and happier. That said, if you want to declutter your home this spring cleaning season, avoid these blunders:

Mistake #1:

Thinking You Need to Throw Everything Away Oftentimes, when one thinks of decluttering, they falsely assume that any and all clutter should just be thrown away. Their reasoning is that if articles of clothing and other clutter have been strewn around the home for a long time, the items are obviously not important and it would be easiest to just toss them out. However, don’t make this mistake, as it can lead to unnecessary waste in landfills. You may also have friends and family who would love the items you no longer want, or you can donate them to charitable causes that need them.

Mistake #2:

Keeping an Item You Don’t Need On that same note, don’t make the mistake of holding onto an article of clothing or other product because you think you might use it in the future. If the item has been sitting in the back of your closet or laying forgotten underneath your bed for months (or years!), then I recommend donating it, giving it away to a friend, or trying to sell it. You get the benefit of less clutter, and the item will go to someone who truly wants to use it. It’s a win-win for you both!

Don’t let objects take over

you — remember that you always control the items.

Mistake #3:

Starting the Decluttering Process Without Planning Piles I get it — when you finally decide to declutter and organize your home, it can be tempting to just go all-in and start tossing all the items strewn about into one box to sort through later. However, you will streamline the whole process if you plan out your plies first — you can designate a pile of items you will keep, a pile to donate, a pile to sell, and a pile to throw away. Then, you can sort all of the items as you go — then you can easily box up the piles to donate to Goodwill or another organization, place all the items in the “Throw Away” pile into a trash bag, etc.

Mistake #4:

Decluttering With Everything Still in the Space Many people make the mistake of decluttering their drawers, closets, and entire rooms with all of the items still in the space. Don’t commit this blunder, as you can really optimize the decluttering process by first emptying out the closet / room / space before sorting the items. You will be much more cognizant of the items you decide to place back in the space and consider more if you really want to hold onto certain items you haven’t used in a long time. Also, you won’t overlook items that may be hidden under others.

Mistake #5:

Keeping Clutter for a Garage Sale That Isn’t on the Calendar Garage sales are a fun and effective way to rid your home of items you no longer need, make a little profit, and give someone else the chance to enjoy your old items at a very low price — as the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure! However, if you want to hold a garage sale to sell your old items, it is absolutely key to schedule the day and time you plan to hold it. Otherwise, you may end up having to keep pushing the garage sale out as other obligations come up, all the while still holding onto a bunch of items cluttering up your space.

Mistake #6:

Decluttering Without a Goal and Intention for Your

Space Having a goal you want to achieve for your space will further optimize the decluttering process. Do you finally want to sort through that jumbled junk drawer in your kitchen? Are you ready to organize all of the clothes in your master bedroom’s closet? Do you have a ton of makeup and other beauty products you really want to declutter and organize?

Set your goal and declutter accordingly. This will prevent you from being distracted by any clutter in other spaces — as you achieve one goal, you can then set another goal for another space. One step at a time!

Mistake #7:

Decluttering Without a Snack On Hand Trust me, decluttering and organizing any space can be tiring! This is especially true if you are moving heavy boxes and equipment around. So keep your energy and momentum up by having a tasty snack nearby at all times. This can also make the process more fun and enjoyable!

To Wrap It All Up

Are you ready to declutter and organize your home this spring cleaning season? Good for you! You can make the decluttering process much more efficient by avoiding some common mistakes others make, like thinking you need to throw everything away, decluttering while everything is still in the space, and keeping clutter for a garage sale that isn’t yet on the calendar. Also, do not be so hard on yourself, because this process is a lot! The fact that you are working on your space to make it better is truly such an accomplishment.

Good luck!

Options to finance home improvements Renovating a home is a great way to impart personality indoors and out.

Improvements can make spaces more livable and address safety issues. Home renovations often take residents’ lifestyles into account, and changes can be customized to accommodate a growing family or an empty nest.

No matter the job, home improvements tend to be costly. According to the financial resource SoFi, on average, the cost to renovate or remodel a whole house runs between $10 and $60 per square foot. Certain rooms demand a higher cost, with a kitchen or bathroom remodel costing around $100 to $250 per square foot due to electrical and plumbing needs.

Figuring out how to pay for the improvement project is as essential to the planning process as picking out materials and contractors.

The following are some financial considerations and financing options for homeowners looking to renovate their properties.

• Consider if the investment is worth it. Remodeling magazine routinely assesses common improvements and how much homeowners can expect to recoup on the investment in its annual “Cost v.

Value” report. In 2022, a homeowner spending $4,000 on a garage door replacement recouped 93.3 percent of the investment, whereas adding a midrange bathroom at $63,000 would only offer a 51.8 percent return. Homeowners must decide if they want to go forward with the project if they’re likely to get just a $33,000 return when they choose to sell the home later on.

• Refinance the home mortgage.

Homeowners can use a cash-out mortgage refinance as a way to access thousands of dollars for a remodel. This taps into a home’s

equity. Keep in mind that the mortgage will then be a new mortgage at the current interest rate and an outstanding balance higher than what was the current one. Typically 20 percent equity in the home is needed to refinance.

• Take out a personal loan. For those who do not want to refinance, a personal loan or home improvement loan can be good for midsized projects, according to American Express. Personal loans for home renovations typically require no collateral and one’s credit score determines the interest rate.

• Utilize a home equity line of credit. A HELOC is a form of revolving credit, like a credit card. Homeowners borrow against the credit line granted with the home being the collateral. As a person pays down what is owed, he or she can borrow more.

This is a good idea for recurring or long-term home improvements.

• Try a home equity loan. Home equity loans use the home as collateral like a HELOC. The home equity loan is an installment loan for a fixed amount on a fixed monthly schedule for a set term. These are sometimes called second mortgages.

• No- or low-interest credit card.

Smaller projects can be financed using credit cards. Many will offer introductory rates with no interest for a few months. This is generally only preferable if a person can pay off the balance before interest is charged.

These are the primary ways to finance home improvement projects when costs exceed available cash on hand.

Why it pays to hire contractors for home renovations

A sense of pride comes from a successful do-it-yourself home improvement project.

However, quite often inexperience and time constraints lead homeowners to turn to professional contractors to make sure jobs get done correctly and on time.

Allied Market Research reported in 2021 that the home improvement services market is predicted to reach $585.3 billion by 2030.

The following are some reasons why renovation-minded homeowners benefit from the services of professionals.

• Tasks can be overwhelming: A home remodel is a large undertaking with many different steps. Contractors who have been around the block a time or two understand how to organize and manage time to get the job done. Plus, they’re devoting all of their attention and time toward the remodel when on the job. This differs from when a do-it-yourselfer tries to work on a remodel in between other responsibilities.

• Network of suppliers: A good general contractor will have a list of material suppliers he or she routinely uses. Often contractors become preferred sellers, which means they get a lower wholesale rate, and will often pass those savings on to the customer.

• Licensed and bonded protection: Licensed and bonded contractors not only have the

skills for the job, they have insurance protection behind them. Therefore, if an injury occurs or the job goes awry, the homeowner will be protected from liability. A license means the contractor will have to uphold licensing standards, which could mean staying current on trade practices and skills.

• Expertise: Experienced contractors have done the work they have been hired to do many times, which means their skills are finetuned. Knowing the correct way to do a job results in fewer errors (and thus fewer repairs), shorter time periods to get the work done, and potentially lower costs overall.

• Frees up time: Homeowners who hire out for remodels can utilize their time in other ways, such as on the job or spending time with family.

• Reduces stress: Putting the work in capable hands means homeowners do not have to educate themselves about how to do the task, purchase tools, prevent injuries, and/or deal with potentially negative outcomes. Certainly having extra people in the house can be challenging, but it may not equal the stress caused by tackling a job on one’s own.

There are many advantages to hiring contractors to renovate a home instead of taking the DIY route.

Shedding some light on home solar

Consumers shopping around for home improvement projects may be leaning toward overhauls that can reduce energy consumption and save them money in the long run. This is a driving factor behind a growing number of homeowners investigating solar energy for their residences.

How does solar power work?

Solar power harnesses the sun’s energy and converts it into electricity that can be used in homes. Many people are familiar with photovoltaics (PV), which are the panels that absorb sunlight and create an electric field across their layers. Another solar technology, known as concentrating solar power, is primarily used in large power plants and is not appropriate for residential use, according to Energy.gov.

According to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, hundreds of thousands of solar panels have been put in use across the United States since 2008 .

Costs associated with solar

The upfront expense of solar panels is significant, costing anywhere from $10,000 to $14,000 for initial installation. However, comparatively speaking, homeowners can spend $1,500 or more per year on electricity, so solar panels will pay for themselves over time. Keep in mind that costs may vary depending on energy needs and how many panels will be required to service the system.

How much electricity can I expect?

The Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Advice says that the amount of power generated from a solar energy system depends on a few factors: 1. The average number of hours of direct, unshaded sunlight your roof gets each year; 2. The pitch (angle), age and condition of your roof, and the compass direction it faces; 3. The size and strength of your system; and 4. Environmental factors such as snow, dust or shade that may cover the system.

Save even more money

Consumers can contact their utility companies to find out if they provide homeowners who produce solar power with “net metering.” This program pays the homeowner money or gives credit for excess power the system produces and returns to the electric grid. Individuals also may be eligible for energy tax credits or other benefits.

Homeowners may find it worthwhile to explore solar energy, particularly if they consume a high amount of electricity.

Did you know?

Though plants might not seem like the first thing individuals think of when they ponder long-term investments, perennials can be just that. The home and garden experts at HGTV note that some perennials can live for a very long time. For example, according to HGTV, the colorful flowering plant peony, despite a blooming season that usually lasts just seven to 10 days, has been known to survive for 70 to 100 years.

Hostas are another popular perennial because they require little maintenance, and that extra free time can add up over the course of the hosta’s life, which can exceed 15 years. Long-living perennials are not necessarily unusual, but gardeners should know that many perennials, and particularly those characterized as “short-lived,” tend to live around three years.

REAL ESTATE?

Home renovations can improve a home in many different ways. Modifications to kitchens and bathrooms have long been popular projects, but are they the most popular renovations? According to data from Realm, which analyzed the top 10 most popular projects from roughly 2.8 million listings and permit filings in the United States in 2022, certain projects are more popular than others. Nationally, the most common home renovations include interior painting, exterior painting, finishing a basement, installing or replacing windows, and bathroom remodeling. Houzz polls have unveiled that renovating kitchens and bathrooms, new windows and porches, balcony and deck projects are among the most popular. According to the Canadian lifestyle resource Icy Canada, which culled various data points and sources, window and door upgrades, kitchen and bath remodels and deck projects are the most popular renovations in Canada.
