Del Norte County COVID Cases level By ZACK DEMARS The Triplicate
Del Norte County remains in the red tier of virus restrictions, according to the latest COVID-19 data. The county’s case rates have slowed slightly from highs reported earlier in the month. As of Tuesday, the county was reporting 30 active cases in the community, compared to 57 a week prior. In total, 85 cases were reported in the county between March 30 and April 12.
Those rates have allowed Del Norte County to remain in the red tier of virus restrictions for another week after venturing close to the threshold to return to the purple tier the week before. Under the current framework — which changed earlier this month, allowing the majority of the state to move beyond Del Norte County into the orange tier — the county will still need to see declines in cases before it can advance through the restriction levels.
To do that, the county will need to report a weekly average of fewer than 6 new cases per 100,000 in population and a test positivity rate below 5% for at least three weeks. On Tuesday, the county was reporting just under 26 new cases per day per 100,000 population, and a 4.6% positivity rate. Also on Tuesday, the California Department of Public Health announced a pause in administering the Johnson & Johnson version of the vaccines, under guidance from
federal health authorities. “Today, the CDC and FDA have recommended a temporary pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine out of an abundance of caution,” Dr. Erica Pan, state epidemiologist, wrote in a statement Tuesday. “Of over 6.8 million doses administered nationally, there have been six reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot with symptoms occurring 6 to 13 days after vaccination.” The pause will last until fed-

eral officials review the vaccine and provide additional guidance, according to CDPH. Anyone who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should report severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath to their healthcare provider if they occur within three weeks of vaccination. “California is following the FDA and CDC’s recommendation and has directed health care providers to Please see CASES, Page A3

A tattoo your mom would approve of? Fine Line Design Tattoo & Piercing is inking for good by donating the proceeds of select tattoos to the North Coast Rape Crisis Team during April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Artist Shaugn McEvoy was in the process of inking an “iron heart” on Rhonda Martinho when the Triplicate showed up to Fine Line. Martinho said the fresh ink on her shoulder represents survival. “My kids were molested, and if it wasn’t for the rape crisis team, I don’t know how we would have made it through. They saved my life,” said Martinho.
The NCRCT is a nonprofit dedicated to the many needs of survivors — offering a 24/7 hotline, emergency response care, advocacy during the court process, counseling for survivors and their family members, among other services. They also speak at local schools and events to spread awareness, and teach self-defense classes for women. Kira Morse of the NCRCT said

Co-owners of Fog Bank Clothing Company, Tommy Burley and Joe Hanks presented a check from proceeds of their fundraiser with Olive Wood Designs to Christine Slette, executive director at CASA, on Friday. Bigfoot was also in attendance.
By KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate
In true Del Norte fashion, two local businesses — Fog Bank Clothing Company and Olive Wood Designs — teamed up to create a raffle to fundraise for the nonprofit, Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, of Del Norte. Contestants purchased $5 raffle tickets at Fog Bank Clothing Company for a chance to win two painted wood art pieces, handmade
by local artist Vanessa Duncan of Olive Wood Designs. All proceeds went to CASA of Del Norte, which assists in-need and at-risk children in the juvenile court process by providing trained volunteers to advocate in the child’s best interest. The fundraiser brought in a total of $3,750. Fog Bank Co-owners, Tommy Burley and Joe Hanks, presented an oversized check to CASA on Friday. Fog Bank’s mascot Bigfoot was also in attendance. Burley said he appreciates all the work
CASA has done in the community. “The kids are our future, and they’re mental well-being at those young ages sets them up for the future, so the more kids we can make sure are on the right path at a younger age, the better off we will be as a community,” said Burley. While Duncan was not there to present the check, her art raised the money. She said when Burley presented the idea for the fundraiser with her pieces as a prize, she was all for it.
“Hopefully the raffle brought more awareness to the work done by the dedicated staff and volunteers at CASA. Fog Bank picked a great organization to donate the money to and I hope we can do another raffle some day,” Duncan wrote in an email to the Triplicate. Olive Wood Designs is on Instagram at https://www.instagram. com/olive.wood.designs/ and Fog Bank Clothing Company is located at 275 L St. in Crescent City.
Invasive plants beware; the Tolowa Dunes Stewards are after trespassers of all kinds in the Tolowa Dunes State Park, including English Ivy, Scotch Broom and English Holly. Most recently, the stewards were hunting Scotch Broom — a bush native to Europe with distinct, bright yellow flowers. Scotch Broom can grow up to 10 feet tall and individual plants can produce up to 10,000 seeds in a season, meaning it can easily choke out native plants like the Tolowa Coast Wallflower — a short, yellow flower which could be endemic to this region, said Sandra Jelabek, organizer of the Tolowa Dunes Stewards. Jerabek said removing invasive plants is an opportunity to balance the area, and to correct past mistakes. She cited the 1853 Yontocket Massacre, the killing of hundreds of native Tolowa people at the hands of European settlers. “I feel when we remove European plants from this, we are righting a little bit of the wrong that happened here, just a little bit,” said Jerabek. “Look at this place, it was ranched and logged. The recovery is mostly native, and pristine, and so wonderful.” The Tolowa Dunes Stewards is a rotating group of volunteers whose mission is to conserve and protect the Tolowa Coast, while educating the public about the plants and wildlife in the area. Stephen Gibbs is listed as a “volunteer extraordinaire” on his business card, but the group has given him a different title, “Broomslayer.” Gibbs said he joined the group for the exercise and stayed because of the quality of the people. “I had been going on 5-7 mile hikes everyday just to get out of the apartment. Now, I’ve got something different to do, I don’t go on as many of those hikes,” said Gibbs. “The people that come out are the best, they are salt of the earth, green people, and they’re great.” The Broomslayer’s weapon of choice? An Uprooter — a heavy tool designed for uprooting shrubs and other big plants like Scotch Broom. The tool has a jaw mechanism which clamps around the mainstem of the plant, once it’s locked on, the operator uses their body weight to push down a lever, forcing the plant out of the ground — roots and all. Made in Grants Pass, Oregon, Gibbs said the tool is great for removing small to medium sized broom bushes, but the larger ones are too big for the jaws to grip, so they are simply sawed off at the base. Once an area is cleared of invasive plants, native ones have a chance to move in, which is already happening in areas the stewards and other groups have cleared, however, more invasives also have an opportunity to crop up in those Please see DUNES, Page A2

A variety of plants can be seen during the 2019 plant sale at the College of the Redwoods. The College of the Redwoods Agriculture program will be holding its 31st annual plant sale on Friday, April 23, from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 24, from
10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the CR greenhouse on the main Eureka campus, with a possible additional day Friday, April 30, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., if there is remaining inventory.

areas, said Gibbs. “We’ve cleared acres of beach grass, and what’s happened is it’s giving the natives a chance to come back, and there’s one plant, the Silverleaf Phacelia, we’ve got the biggest stand of it in the country, or maybe in the world,” said Gibbs. “But the problem is, by opening up that habitat, we’ve created an environment for invasives to move in.” Meaning, the stewards have to remain diligent in striking down invaders to protect the native plants they love.

of that open communication, said Morse. “We don’t have things like a Planned Parenthood or a walk-in clinic, so people don’t have easy access. The only time people hear about us is when an assault happens.” Morse said most fundraisers were put on hold last year due to COVID, but she has noticed a surge of support from the community this year. “With this fundraiser, and us sharing it on social media, we’re seeing people share this post and putting ‘I’m a survivor’... It’s really encouraging to see,” said Morse. For Martinho and her kids, the NCRCT was integral during every stage of their recovery. “I would shout from the rooftops how important this team is, I believe in them totally. Like I said, I wouldn’t have made it through without them,” said Martinho. The fundraiser will continue until the end of the month with prices of the select tattoos ranging from $6080 depending on the piece, excluding gratuity.

July 12, 1929 - March 11, 2021
On April 1, 2021, Alice Berg Tolman passed away. Alice was born October 9, 1946, in Arcata, CA, to Oscar and Evie Criteser Berg. She grew up in Crescent City, California, and attended Del Norte High School (1964), College of the Redwoods, Arizona State College, and Humboldt State University. She worked for the McKinleyville Union School District as an instructional aide, United Indian Health Services as an administrative assistant, and was an eligibility supervisor for Humboldt County, CA.

She loved talking to her friends and people at the grocery store. She genuinely cared, and it was a pleasure to hear her positive, enthusiastic, and engaging stories. Alice loved telling stories about her childhood and loved her brother and sister, Steve (Debbie) Berg of Crescent City and Lois Berg Stevenson (Richard) of Sacramento. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Donovan Tolman of Arcata, CA, who will miss her dearly,
“Till we meet again.” She is also survived by her three children: Jody Patton (Dean) of Murrieta, CA, Tammy Saldaña of Sacramento, CA, and Jason Tolman (JoLynn) of Portland, Oregon.

Phyllis Eleanor Daniels/Ramacher January 12, 1942 – December 21, 2020
Phyllis Daniels/Ramacher 78, a resident of Crescent City, California for 32 years, passed away December 21,
2020 in Roseville, California. Phyllis was born in Wister, Oklahoma and attended a one-room school there. Her family headed west when she was fourteen and their long journey finally ended in California. She loved animals, especially her dogs, birds and rabbits. She also made beautiful dolls in her later years. Phyllis was struck with a blood clot in 1985 which crippled her forever. After
a long, lonely and painful 31 years, Covid-19 claimed her life. She was proceeded in death by mother Lorene Owens and father Marvin Daniels. Phyllis is survived by her husband Sylvester Ramacher; siblings Wendy, Marvita, Carol and J.W., all of California. Also daughters Theresa of Nevada, Elaine of California, Nikki Sediva and Angie Royal of Texas. Rest in Peace.
Jim passed away at the age of 91 with loving family by his bedside in Crescent City, CA. Jim was born in Dearborn, MI. to Paul and Vivian Buxton. A while later his parents divorced and his mother remarried. Jim, his sister and two brothers were raised by his mother and stepdad, Will Robinson. After high school Jim joined the Marine Corps, spending the next 21 years as a proud marine. He served at several USMC bases and was deployed to both Korea and Vietnam. During his time as a marine, Jim became interested in competitive pistol shooting.
He became a master shooter competing in individual matches as well as in Interservice team matches. He soon acquired many medals, trophies and commendations. (And bragging rights!) In February 1964, San Diego CA. During a pistol match, Bob Cate, good friend and fellow competitor, invited Jim over for dinner with his parents. That’s when he met Bob’s sister Susan and her three young daughters. Jim was charming, witty and an entertaining dinner guest and rest is history! Jim and Susan married in 1966. In 1968 daughter number 4 joined the family. In 1970 Jim retired from the Marine Corps, he then became employed in the private sector. He jokingly observed “all those civilians out there and no one’s in charge!” Jim then became an Orange County deputy sheriff where he then later retired from in 1992. With daughters raised and out on
their own, Jim and Susan pulled up stakes in Irvine, CA. and moved to Crescent City. They built their home by the beautiful Smith River. They found new wonderful friends and neighbors. Jim is survived by his wife Susan. Daughters; Laura Orlando, Leslie Patino, Luann Nelson and Linda Browning (Jason). Grandchildren; Frankie Cooper, Reegis Perkins, Nicole Beehler, Jake Orlando and 7 great grandchildren. His sister Willma Hartley and her children; Dale, Debbie and extended family in Michigan.

Water can be wrung out too much
photo taken by Allen Best
Headwaters of the Santa Fe River, Santa Fe, N.M., wastewater treatment plant in background.
By Denise Fort Santa Fe, New Mexico, once was sustained by the waters of the Santa Fe River, which begins in the high country of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, flows through the city and then onward to the Rio Grande. But when Western cities grow, they look everywhere for more water, with little regard for the rivers they drain. As the city’s population grew, Santa Fe turned to its groundwater. Later, New Mexico reached across the desert to take water from the Colorado River and deliver it to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and other beneficiaries on the Rio Grande. And yet the Santa Fe River downstream was not reduced to a dry and dusty arroyo. In fact, the riverbed is relatively verdant, supporting cottonwoods, willows and sustaining some irrigation in communities downstream. That moisture helps make Santa Fe a beautiful place in the desert. That’s because the water that Santa Fe residents use to flush their toilets or pour down the drain ultimately makes its way to the wastewater treatment plant, which returns the treated water to the Santa Fe River. That could soon change. The city’s water bureaucrats have fastened on the idea of capturing some of that treated effluent, either to get additional “return flow” credits by returning it to the Rio Grande, or by moving to direct potable reuse, a process derided in California as “toilet to tap.” But both of these proposals will also take water out of the Santa Fe River, affecting downstream irrigators, wildlife and even the cultural identity of the region. As climate change tightens its grip on the arid West, water managers are focusing on wastewater as a source of “new” water for cities. It’s hard to blame them: Mu-
nicipalities don’t need new water rights in order to reuse treated effluent.
Denise Fort Communities dump their treated sewage into rivers, and downstream users draw that water, treat it and send it to residents’ homes. Orange County and Irvine Ranch in California are pioneers in recycling wastewater. The Bureau of Reclamation now administers a fund for water-reuse projects, and the Environmental Protection Agency has made it a national priority. There’s another strategy that Western cities like Santa Fe are exploiting to make use of their wastewater. Instead of sending all of the treated wastewater back into the potable water supply, Santa Fe plans to send some of its wastewater to the Rio Grande via a $20 million pipeline. This would give the city the right to pump additional water from the Rio Grande. Regardless of how the city proceeds, the Santa Fe River will end up losing some of the water that provides for its existence. Never forget that Western water law was set up to serve users, not rivers. And under Western states’ laws, cities own their treated sewage, meaning they can use it or sell it downstream as they wish. In fact, wastewater is such a reliable supply that it gets top value at Western
water auctions. Santa Fe’s webpages overflow with the community’s commitment to sustainability. But these values were disregarded in the city’s focus on squeezing more water out of the system for a growing populace. Wastewater has other values and uses, though. How do we draw attention to them? A report by the National Wildlife Federation, the Pacific Institute and the Meadows Institute warns that reusing water can inadvertently “starve natural systems of needed flows and potentially reduce water available to communities downstream.” Instead, the groups urge planners to “incorporate actions to protect (and where possible, enhance) river flows downstream for the benefit of people and the environment” https://pacinst.org/publication/healthy-waterways/. By now, years of battles over Western water should have taught water managers that while people value reliable water supplies, they also value living rivers, small farms, historic communities and recreation. The report urges water managers to consult with the public before making decisions. It also lays out a blueprint for incorporating the value of living rivers, as well as addressing water supply. Wringing more use from water, even wastewater, is a powerful tool in addressing water scarcity. But just like the dams, pipelines and other tools of the Cadillac Desert era, wastewater ought to be approached with respect for all of its values. The proponents of water reuse need to acknowledge this. Denise Fort is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange. org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to lively conversation about the West. She is professor emerita at the University of New Mexico School of Law and has co-authored three reports for the National Academies on water reuse.
DEAR ABBY
By Abigail Van Buren
ACCUSATIONS FLY AFTER FRIEND DEVELOPS COVID DEAR ABBY: A friend of 35 years recently accused me of exposing her and her mother to COVID. She told me she thinks I did it on purpose because I thought so little of them. This is not true! I had been home for eight days and saw her on a Friday. The following Wednesday I felt sick, so I got tested. When my test the next Monday came back positive, I told her immediately. Since then she has blocked me and won’t talk to me to figure out what happened. I don’t even know if they got sick. We have been good friends and helped each other often. I have done a lot for her, but she still refuses to talk to me. What should I do? -- BLOCKED BY COVID IN CALIFORNIA DEAR BLOCKED: When people are frightened, they sometimes act emotionally instead of rationally. A problem with COVID is that people can be infected, without symptoms, and spread the virus without becoming sick (yet) themselves. This is why mask-wearing and social-distancing are so important. From your description, this may be what happened in your case. Give your friend time to cool off and continue trying to reach out to her. Then hope that in light of your long friendship, she’ll calm down and you can reconnect. DEAR ABBY: My ex and I were together 17 years. He was a cheater, a liar, and any other way a horrible husband can be described. I divorced him six years ago. My problem is a few of our kids think he’s a wonderful guy. The older one (25) lived with him until a few months ago. I don’t know how to make her understand
how horrible he is. I think if she stepped back for a while, she would see it, but she (and several of his other kids) have been completely brainwashed. She’s very quick to ask a question, but when I respond in a way she feels is negative about her dad, she suddenly has to hang up or needs to go do something. I’m lost trying to make her see how their part of the family looks like a cult to everyone else in the family. -- KNOWS THE TRUTH IN OHIO DEAR KNOWS: Trying to reason with your daughter is a waste of time. Trying to “deprogram” your children from the “cult” of loving their father isn’t working, so quit trying. By persisting, you will only drive a wedge between you. As you stated, once they have stepped back, they may begin to see the light without help from you. Let it happen on its own. DEAR ABBY: I’ve never seen you answer a question like mine. I have a $20 bill that was torn. At some point, the two halves became separated in my pocket, and I lost one of them. Is there any way I could get value for the half that I still have? -- POOR IN NEW JERSEY DEAR POOR: I’m sorry, but the answer is probably no. If you had three-quarters of the bill, you could take it to a bank and exchange it for a whole bill. But because you have only half, you are out of luck. Sorry! -------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

Don’t put community cancer care centers out of business By Krista Nelson and Barbara Jensen Ruth is a 67-year-old woman living with metastatic lung cancer. She receives care at a treatment center near her home in rural southern Illinois. There are larger hospitals over an hour away in St. Louis, but she doesn’t have the time or financial resources to travel there as often as she would need to. Fortunately, the cancer center near Ruth’s home boasts excellent staff - including her oncologist, experienced nurses, a pharmacist, and a social worker. There are more than 2,100 community cancer centers just like Ruth’s across the country - many located outside of urban centers. For decades, these centers - and their multidisciplinary staff - have played

an integral role in helping Americans fight cancer. Unfortunately, fulfilling their mission is about to get harder as is life for patients. In November, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a new statute, known as the most-favored-nation rule. If the new administration implements the rule, it will drastically affect how cancer centers operate. In theory, the MFN rule is supposed to lower costs for patients on Medicare. In reality, the new rule will reimburse cancer centers for less than they pay for necessary medications, such as chemotherapy, unless these cancer centers renegotiate drug prices with their suppliers. Many of the support services provided by nurses, pharmacists, and social workers at cancer treatment centers are not covered by Medi-
care. Cancer centers use reimbursement funds to cover these services for the benefit of their patients. Clinics purchase their medications up front. Once oncologists administer the drugs to patients, the clinics bill Medicare for the cost of the drug itself, plus a small additional fee of 6 percent. This 6 percent fee helps cover the cost of services that are considered “extra” yet well known to improve patient outcomes, such as nutritional counseling, medication side effect teaching by nurses and pharmacists, and psychosocial intervention from social workers. The MFN rule will drastically cut drug reimbursements. It’s estimated that community oncology practices will suffer a 52 percent loss of Medicare drug revenue, on average, once MFN is fully implemented,
according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The impact of the rule will be especially acute in rural communities around the country, where community centers are prevalent, and Medicare is the largest health insurer. And if care centers cut services or close altogether, it will make life that much more challenging for cancer patients. For many, the logistics of getting to and from chemotherapy will get harder and more expensive. Some will forego treatment altogether. Shockingly, that is exactly what the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services seems to expect. In the rule, the agency observes that some of the savings it hopes to achieve will be “attributable to beneficiaries not accessing their drugs through the Medicare benefit.”
As professionals who work with cancer patients every day, we find this unconscionable. We support payment reform that makes quality cancer care more attainable and equitable for all. The MFN rule, however, does not help but harms the ability of cancer centers to provide this care for patients. Krista Nelson, a licensed clinical social worker and practicing oncology social worker, works at Providence Health and Services in Portland, Oregon. Barbara Jensen, a registered nurse, works as the regional director of Oncology and Palliative Care at Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon, Washington. Both serve on the board of trustees for the Association of Community Cancer Centers. This piece originally ran in The Everett Herald.

Interior Department announces National Park Week Celebrating Nation’s Parks and American Heritage DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
The Department of the Interior announced last week that National Park Week – an annual weeklong celebration of America’s national parks – will run from April 17 to April 25. National Park Week encourages the public to explore the vast network of our national parks, sacred sites, historical landmarks, as well as our shared heritage contained within them. “Every national park has its own unique story to tell, yet so much of our nation’s shared heritage can be found in the towering forests and vast desert expanses that make up our National Park System,” said Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. “The outdoors has also proven to be a welcome refuge during the past year of the pandemic. I encourage everyone to enjoy the beauty and wonder of our national parks safely and responsibly.” To kick off National Park Week, every national park will have a free admission day Saturday, April 17. The public is asked to recreate
responsibly when visiting parks, including following rules requiring masks when physical distancing cannot be maintained, or to explore parks virtually through a variety of engaging online activities. Visit nps.gov/npweek or nationalparkweek.org for more virtual programming. The National Park Service invites everyone to participate in a Twitter chat preview of National Park Week on April 16 at 1 p.m. Join the conversation and share favorite memories, tips and stories about national parks using the hashtag #NationalParkWeek. “National Park Week is always a great reminder of the wide variety of sites, parks and programs available for the public to explore in-person or online,” said National Park Service Deputy Director Shawn Benge. “Throughout the week, ‘travel’ to national parks through virtual tours and other entertaining and educational digital activities designed to connect visitors with the vast network of historical, cultural, inspirational
and recreational parks across the country.” “The National Park Foundation and our park partners celebrate the full diversity of our parks. They come in all shapes and sizes. They are urban and rural, natural and manmade. They each have their own, unique story, perspective and experience to share with all of us that, when taken together, really tell the American story,” said National Park Foundation President and CEO Will Shafroth. “And each of us has an important role to play in helping to preserve and protect these special places.” The 2021 National Park Week theme days are: Saturday, April 17: Free Admission and Park Rx Day Spending time in parks and nature benefits overall physical and mental health and wellness. In honor of the NPS’ century-long collaboration with the Office of Public Health, National Park Week begins with Park Rx Day! Enjoy a free admission visit
U.S. Fish and Wildlife seeks public comment on Endangered Species Act listing
After reviewing the best available scientific and commercial information, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to reaffirm the listing of the streaked horned lark as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The service is also proposing a revised special rule under section 4(d) of the ESA to provide for the conservation needs of the species. This announcement opens a 60-day public comment period. The streaked horned lark is a small, ground nesting bird that makes its home in the Pacific Northwest. It has disappeared from much of its historical range, which used to extend from southern British Columbia to southwestern Oregon and is now located in only three regions of Oregon and Washington. Streaked horned larks are impacted by ongoing habitat loss and degradation, land management activities, recreation and climate change. These factors, in combination
with their small population size, have pushed the species into decline. The birds nest on the ground in areas with low, sparse vegetation. Historically, their habitat was maintained by disturbances such as flooding or fire, but loss of natural disturbance regimes has made them depend on artificially maintained habitats, including agricultural lands, airports and dredged material placement sites. “Our status review supports maintaining streaked horned lark as a threatened species,” said Robyn Thorson, regional director for the service’s Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region. “We are encouraged by existing conservation efforts and are committed to working with partners and stakeholders to recover this bird using a variety of ESA tools. The proposed 4(d) rule would encourage landowners to manage their landscape in a way that works for them
while supporting the conservation needs of this species throughout its range.” The service previously designated the lark as a threatened species with a 4(d) rule in 2013. This designation was subsequently legally challenged. The court remanded the rule for reconsideration, and the Service agreed to submit a new proposed listing rule that incorporated additional information. The 60-day comment period allows the public to review and provide input on this proposal. The Service is seeking information about the biology, distribution, status and population trends of the species, as well as any additional information regarding the proposed 4(d) rule. Information on how to submit comments is available at www.regulations.gov by searching under docket number FWS–R9–ES–2020–0153. For more information about streaked horned lark, please visit http://www.fws.gov/.

Merkley leads push to support West Coast fishermen Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley is leading a group of nine lawmakers — including U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and Patty Murray (D-WA), and Representatives Peter DeFazio (D-OR-4), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR-3), Kurt Schrader (D-OR-5), Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-1), Jared Huffman (D-CA-2), and Derek Kilmer (D-WA-6) — in pushing the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack to make sure urgently needed federal assistance is delivered to West Coast fishermen and seafood processors, who have been hit hard by the ongoing coronavirus crisis and largely left out of USDA commodity purchasing programs. “As you know, the ongoing public health crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an economic disaster throughout the U.S. economy. These economic disruptions have been particularly acute for the seafood industry. Notably, more than 68% of the $102.2 billion that consumers paid for U.S. fishery products in 2017 was spent at food service establishments. The sudden and near-total loss of that market in March 2020 decimated virtually overnight the demand for U.S.-sourced seafood products, and the accompanying disruption in export markets and global supply chains has placed addi-
tional strain on domestic seafood infrastructure. Even as COVID-19 vaccines have started to be administered, significant economic impacts to the seafood sector continue,” the lawmakers wrote in their letter. “During these unprecedented times, USDA’s procurement programs are critical to filling an incredibly important void – one that ensures that food production essential workers stay employed, supply chains keep operating, and America’s nutritional needs are met. We appreciate USDA’s efforts to date to expand its long-standing purchasing programs to include seafood products from various U.S. regions. However, thus far, few of the procurements have focused on the purchasing of seafood products from the West Coast,” the lawmakers continued. “We thus request that USDA include as part of its commodity purchasing programs the purchase of Pacific Northwest and West Coast seafood products that are currently being produced in large volumes, easily accessible, and easily transportable for immediate distribution to food assistance programs.” The letter follows a previous, bipartisan effort that Merkley helped lead in 2020 to urge the USDA to include seafood products in its commodity purchasing programs.

CR presents Portugal Award lecture by Jon Pedicino
DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
Padilla announces over $667 million for affordable housing projects U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif) recently announced over $667 million in federal funding —provided by the American Rescue Plan, which Padilla helped pass last month — will go toward supporting local affordable housing programs and projects across California. This new funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s HOME Investments Partnerships program will help expand the supply of affordable housing to low- and very low-income families. “California has a shortage of affordable housing, and it’s going to take all levels of government working together to close the gap,” Padilla said. “This new federal funding from the American Rescue plan will infuse hundreds of millions of dollars
into local projects across the state to increase the affordable housing supply. As we work to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, I will continue to advocate for investments that help meet our state’s housing challenges and support the long-term economic prosperity of our underserved communities.” The HOME Investment Partnerships Program provides grants to states and localities that communities use – often in partnership with local nonprofit groups – to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. In California, more than 1.4 million units are needed to address the affordable
housing shortage. Padilla is already backing several efforts to increase the supply of affordable housing in the state. Last month, he cosponsored legislation to reauthorize the Neighborhood Stabilization Program that provides grants for state and local governments to acquire and rehabilitate existing buildings to increase the supply of affordable housing units. Padilla also urged President Biden to prioritize affordable housing in the Build Back Better infrastructure bill, calling for the inclusion of $70 billion to address the public housing repair backlog, and $45 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund per year, of which $26 billion would be reserved for permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.

College of the Redwoods Astronomy Professor Dr. Jon Pedicino will present an online lecture about recent discoveries in space travel on Thursday, April 22. Pedicino’s lecture, “Traveling to the stars: How do we do it? Where are we headed? What might we find?” will take place via Zoom from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by a question and answer session. The lecture is free and open to the public. Zoom info: https:// cccconfer.zoom. us/j/96680135348 Meeting ID: 966 8013 5348
The talk will center on the recent breakthroughs in space travel. Pedicino will address questions such as - Can we travel faster than the speed of light? Can we travel close to the speed of light and at least send a probe to nearby stars? How do we avoid space debris at those speeds? Could we build a generational ship to travel to the stars? Pedicino has taught astronomy at the CR Eureka campus for 20 years. He did his undergraduate work in physics at Dartmouth College. He holds a doctoral degree from the University of Arizona in planetary science.
The College of the Redwoods Foundation Board established the Dr. Eugene Portugal Award in 1993 to honor an outstanding faculty member and to exhibit the academic and professional contributions of the CR faculty to the college and the community. Named after the college’s first president, this award allows the campus community to share expertise and knowledge, provides staff development opportunities for faculty, increases the community’s awareness of the college, and provides a showcase for excellence both on and off campus.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) recently released the following statement on President Biden’s outline of his budget request: “President Biden’s budget aligns with our country’s values. It’s refreshing to see a budget outline that invests in the American people, our communities and our economy to build a stronger future. “I’m particularly pleased that the president increased funding for ending the coronavirus pandemic, helping people get back to work, fighting climate change and expanding opportunity through education. I’m also pleased that the budget includes funding to end the epidemic of gun violence, fight wildfires and address homelessness, which are major priorities for California. “This budget outline provides a strong foundation for this administration going forward. It highlights the fact that President Biden’s priorities are in the right place, and I’m proud to support it.”
Key priorities
• Invests $8.7 billion for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to improve our country’s ability to confront public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Combats gun violence in our communities with $2.1 billion to address the public health crisis and $100 million for the new DOJ/CDC Community Violence Intervention programs. • Includes $1 billion in funding for Violence Against Women Act programs, nearly double the previous year. • Provides an additional $14 billion to reduce emissions and address climate change with a whole-government approach. • Invests in affordable housing and fighting homelessness, including $30.4 billion for Housing Choice Vouchers, which will expand access to 200,000 additional families and $3.5 billion, a nearly 17 percent increase, for Homeless Assistance Grants. • Helps fix our broken immigration system by providing $861 million to address the root causes of migration from Central America, $345 million to adjudicate naturalization and asylum cases and $891 million to reduce court backlogs through 100 new immigration judges. • Invests $63.5 billion in the State Department, a 12 percent increase, including $10 billion for global health security to prevent and respond to future pandemics, $2.5 billion to combat climate change and increased funding for United Nations peacekeeping.
