The PPA kicks off inaugural economic event

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

The Partnership for the Performing Arts hosted a presentation/luncheon for community leaders Saturday at the Elk Valley Rancheria Sam Lopez Community Room.

About 80 folks from Crescent City and Del Norte County listened to Nick and Lisa Rail share their vision and dream of building a $42 million Performing Arts Center on the campus of Del Norte High School. The Rails hail from Crescent City, moved away to open and develop their musical instrument repair business, and returned home to build their dream.

The Rails through its 501c3 foundation contributed $1 million, proceeds from the sale of its successful chain of Please see PPA, Page A3

Chipotle plans to open in Crescent City

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Chipotle Mexican Grill will be opening soon in Crescent City.

At the end of the February 21 council meeting, City Manager Eric Wier broke the news to councilors that Chipotle Mexican Grill is presenting its plans for its newest restaurant to the Crescent City Planning Department. The location of the Chipotle Grill in Crescent City is a three-quarter acre vacant parcel, between the segments of Highway 101, at Ninth and L Streets.

Chipotle, founded in 1993 is noted for its fresh Mexican cuisine and famous for its wide selection of burritos and bowls.

The chain has approximately 3,200 stores across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and France. Groundbreaking will be announced pending planning and city approval.

Crescent City is becoming quite adept at seeking out and applying for all kinds of various grants opportunities. Among those applications, councilors approved grants applications seeking out Request for Proposals (RFP) for Front Street improvements from G Street to I Street, with an addition for I Street to Play Street and a police department request from the Alcohol and Beverage Control Policing Partnership Program.

The G to I Street improvements request was presented by public works. This project is a standalone plan. A separate request was inserted for improvement for I Street to Play Street. The final leg of the grant from Play to the 101 was not addressed at the Tuesday meeting.

Front Street improvements include storm drain, new water lines, streetlights, sidewalk, ADA ramps and driveway replacements along Front Street with infrastructure connections at four intersections. The total project slightly exceeds $3 million with identical Measure S and matching ARPA grant funding, Del Norte Local Transportation funding and a Community Project grant via Congressman Jared Huffman.

Councilors also approved the application for the ABC grant for several inebriation calibration machines and an educational component not to exceed $30,000, a grant previously sought but declined to the city. A change in grant criteria prompted the request for a new application.

City Manager Eric Wier reported to the council, the city has applied for and awaits decisions on an estimated $13 million on outstanding grants application.

The Council meets Monday, March 6 at 6 p.m. at the Flynn Center.

BoatSmith Whitewater Festival a Huge Success FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 2023 | A3

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

BY ADAM SPENCER Triplicate contributor

If you drove the 199 corridor President’s Day weekend and thought there was a sharp increase in the number of vehicles with brightly colored boats of all shapes and sizes strapped to the top or trailing behind, you were not wrong.

Hundreds of kayakers and rafters traveled from across the West, some from as far as New York, to attend the fifth annual BoatSmith Whitewater Festival, an event quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the best whitewater festivals on the West Coast.

“We really enjoy hosting the whitewater boating community and the positive energy they bring to the area,” said Terry McNaught, partner/operator of Patrick Creek Historic Lodge, which hosts the event’s non-race festivities. Terry and his wife Tina, who took over the operation of the lodge in January 2022, said the turnout was even better this year, and the event was a real success with smiles all around.

But they were sincerely ready to rest by Sunday. “It’s a big weekend,” Terry said.

At the lodge, thousands of dollars in raffle prizes were given away on Saturday night, prizes donated by the whitewater gear industry with the largest prize of the night being an 11-foot raft from Merlin-based raft builder SOTAR. After recouping costs, raffle ticket revenue is used to get local students on rivers and other outdoors field trips “We want to give back to the community, and giving our local kids the opportunity to experience outdoor environments they may

have never seen might inspire them to do things they thought they could never do.” said Aaron Babcock, co-organizer of the event. The event was also organized by Donna Peppin, Redwood Rides co-owner Adam Spencer, Christopher Sohl, and Kaylan Wilson.

Local rock band Corner Market kept the crowd moving with nearly three hours of original music between raffle drawings, followed by Gasquet-based DJ Mike Winner to close the night. Thursday, Woodpile rocked the early crowd at the lodge with “Songs from the Woodpile.” Friday night featured films and presentations about projects on local rivers, with Smith River Alliance highlighting the most recent efforts to block nickel strip-mining in the headwaters of the North Fork Smith River and American Whitewater highlighting the imminent schedule of dam removal on the Klamath River.

On the water, paddlers of various crafts tackled the rapids of the South Fork Smith River, with Surprise Falls being the crux rapid of the class III race and the narrow class IV South Fork gorge being the venue for the more advanced race. Race results can be found on the BoatSmith Whitewater Festival Facebook page.

On Sunday, Smith River Alliance organized a river clean-up with about 400 pounds of trash collected. The organization also provided trash bags to paddlers, encouraging everyone to leave the land better than they found it. The BoatSmith Whitewater Festival was held in the Smith River National Recreation Area, part of Six Rivers National Forest, which has been supportive of the event.

Wood introduces bill to regulate broadband providers as a public utility Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) has introduced AB 1714, legislation that will define and

regulate broadband service providers as a public utility.

The California Constitution authorizes the Legisla-

ture to prescribe additional classes of private corporations or other persons as public utilities. “Public utility” currently includes every common carrier, toll bridge corporation, pipeline corporation, gas corporation, electrical corporation, telephone corporation, telegraph corporation, water corporation, sewer system corporation and heat corporation, where the service is performed for, or the commodity is delivered to, the public.

“Broadband has become an essential service in the daily lives of 21st century consumers and we know Americans agree,” said Wood. “If we didn’t understand this before, we have certainly realized how much everyone depends on this service since 2020, when we entered the COVID-19 pandemic.”

A 2020 study from Consumer Reports found that 80 percent of consumers believe broadband service is as important as water and electricity. People rely on an internet connection to Please see BROADBAND, Page A4

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Wood Introduces Two Bills to Expand Regulatory Oversight of Health Care Mergers and Acquisitions Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) has introduced two bills, AB 1091 and AB 1092 to address mergers and acquisitions in health care.

“A majority of studies show that mergers and acquisitions in health care are not lowering costs for anyone but the entities doing it,” said Wood. “We are led to believe that mergers and acquisitions in health care will save money and that it’s good for consumers, but what we are actually seeing is that it reduces competition and results in higher corporate and shareholder profits.

I also have real concerns about how these mergers and acquisitions could reduce or limit access

to certain health care services, like reproductive care.”

AB 1091 expands the authority of the state Attorney General (AG) to review and approve or deny any merger or acquisition of a nonprofit health facility to for-profit changes in ownership and control. The bill also requires the AG to hold one or more public hearings before issuing a decision on a major transaction and prohibits health care entities from engaging in specified unfair contracting practices brought to light by the recent Sutter Health settlement.

The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), in its report, “March 2020 Report to

the Congress: Medicare Payment Policy,” concluded that a majority of these mergers led to higher prices. A New York Times article reported that an analysis looking at 25 metropolitan areas with the highest rates of hospital mergers from 2010 through 2013 found that the price private insurance paid for the average hospital stay increased in most areas between 11 and 54 percent after the mergers.

“Our Attorney General plays a critical role in reviewing and approving or denying health care mergers or acquisitions by being the very last stop to assure that the needs of the community and health care consumers are protected,”

said Wood. “This process requires that a thoughtful balance exists between the needs of the health care consumer and the hospital providing the care, but the AG’s process is one that absolutely must be maintained.”

AB 1092 expands regulatory oversight over health plan transactions, building on prior legislation (AB 595, Wood, Chapter 292, Statutes of 2018), which requires an entity that intends to merge with a health plan to give notice to, and secure prior approval from, the DMHC Director. This bill applies to health plans that merge or acquire other entities, like a physician group, for example. The bill also

permits the Director to forward to the AG information related to a disapproval when the transaction would have substantially lessened competition in a health system or among a particular category of health care providers.

“Although opponents have tried to argue that consolidation helps integrate care and control costs, it appears that only their studies show that – not the many objective studies that show these types of transactions in health care have, in fact, resulted in higher health care costs and profits for the corporations rather than lower costs for patients and health care consumers,” said Wood.

Wood Introduces Bill on Hospital Seismic Safety Compliance for Small Rural and District Hospitals Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) has introduced AB 869, which would protect patient access

to small rural and district hospitals in danger of closing due to seismic safety compliance requirements.

Earthquakes are endemic to California. Existing law establishes timelines for hospital compliance with

seismic safety standards requiring retrofitting or rebuilding hospitals to withstand earthquakes and remain

district hospitals in order to meet these seismic requirements and would provide the ability to delay the requirement. When funds are not available for small rural hospitals and estimated seismic costs exceed the larger of $1 million or 2 percent of hospital revenue, the hospital will not be required to meet the 2030 requirements until funds are available. In addition, financially distressed district hospitals more than 30 minutes or 30 miles from the nearest hospital would also not be required to comply with 2030 requirements until funds are available.

“The hospitals covered by this legislation are often the only hospital in the county with the next hospital many miles away and any closure would jeopardize the health of the community and its ability to respond to emergency situations and just cannot be allowed to happen,” said Wood.

“These hospitals are literally lifelines to Californians in our more rural communities and most do not have the financial resources nor the ability to acquire funding from other sources to meet seismic requirements,” said Wood. “There has to be a way to move forward to keep these hospitals open as they work to meet these standards.”

Existing law established the Small and Rural Hospital Relief Program administered by the Department of Health Care Access and Administration (HCAI), which provides grants to small and rural hospitals to assist planning efforts to meet seismic requirements.

AB 869 will require HCAI to provide grant funding, when appropriated by the Legislature, to financially distressed small rural and

Yurok Tribe, US Marshals Partner on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons initiative The Yurok Tribe in northern California has been selected as the first pilot location for the U.S. Marshals Service Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Initiative, as part of the agency’s plans to develop tribally-led collaborative partnerships to proactively examine public safety issues – particularly those involving missing endangered children.

Utilizing virtual and in-person meetings beginning in January 2023, the initiative brings together personnel from Yurok Tribe and USMS to share information, identify goals, and develop strategies for improving public safety for Yurok Tribe, its members, and the broader community.

“It is my sincere hope that by dedicating resources in Indian Country and partnering with the Yurok Tribe, U.S. Marshals will help address the problem of missing children from the Yurok Tribe and assist with other public

safety initiatives, such as ensuring that registered sex offenders in the area are compliant with their statutory requirements,” said U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald L. Davis. “We are fully committed to supporting the Yurok Tribe’s efforts to keep their communities safe.”

“The Yurok Tribe is extremely grateful to partner with the US Marshals Service on this important and timely initiative,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “The knowledge and tools we will gain from this unique partnership will significantly increase our capacity to keep our community safe.”

The Initiative may involve a wide range of activities, depending on the priorities of the Tribe. These may include training on missing child investigations, investigative support for Please see Yurok, Page A11

As a result of the partnership with USMS, the Tribe has also met with representatives from NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System) and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Yurok Tribe is a leader on criminal justice issues in Indian Country and has done specific work on the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons. USMS personnel attended a Violence

Against Women Act roundtable meeting in late September 2022 attended by Yurok Tribal Court Judge Abby Abinanti, who provided valuable feedback about the MMIP Initiative that USMS was already planning. USMS personnel then attended the 1st Annual Northern California Tribal Policy Summit on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, hosted

by Yurok Tribe, and had the opportunity to interact with Yurok Tribe personnel about their ongoing efforts. The longstanding work of Yurok Tribe, combined with these newly-forged relationships, led to the selection of Yurok Tribe as the first pilot site.

He likes staying close to us but is also independent. He plays well with other dogs he’s met, and would make a great addition to any family.

Gunny loves his foster family, but does need a home of his own.
