Waltz pleads no contest to single charge Former sheriff admits no fault in misdemeanor plea

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate

Former Del Norte County Sheriff Randy Waltz pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of false declaration of a candidacy, bringing an end to the saga that cost Waltz his job as sheriff.

By agreeing to plead to the single misdemeanor, the district attorney’s office dropped several felony charges, all related to

allegations Waltz filed to run for sheriff from an address he was not residing at.

In the no contest plea, Waltz did not admit guilt, but he accepted the fact there was evidence supporting the charge.

Waltz was fined $1,000 but will serve no time in jail and was not placed on probation.

Waltz was originally charged with three felonies: perjury by declaration on a voter regis-

tration application, false voter registration, and false declaration of candidacy. The first two charges were dropped and the third was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.

Waltz was appointed sheriff in September 2021 and moved to Del Norte County at the time.

He announced earlier this year he was going to run for a four-year term. When he filed paperwork to run, he listed an address in

Smith River where has had signed a lease but had not yet moved into due to a delay in the room opening up.

He was charged with the felony charges in March and shortly afterward resigned as sheriff and withdrew from the race.

When Waltz withdrew, it left only former Crescent City Lt. Garrett Scott in the election. Lt. Daniel Schneck has been leading the sheriff’s office since March.

Del Norte Warriors enjoying successful spring in track and field

By RAY HAMILL For the Triplicate

Seven Del Norte Warriors have advanced to this weekend’s North Coast Section Meet of Champions in track and field after another strong showing for the team at the NCS Redwood Empire championships.

One week after claiming both the boys and girls H-DNL team championships, the Del Norte athletes traveled to Petaluma High School on Saturday and came away with 11 top-10 finishes in the section meet.

Senior Edwin Zepeda placed second in the boys triple jump with a jump of 42 feet, 11 inches, which was the seventh best jump in the entire NCS this spring and good enough to qualify for the Meet of Champions.

Zepeda, who is competing in track and field for the first time this year, has had an immediate impact on the team, winning two individual events at the league championships and also placing eighth in the high jump on Saturday with a jump of 5-8.

Sophomore Lily Sherman also enjoyed an outstanding NCS

meet and placed second in the high jump with a jump of 4-10 and seventh in the triple jump (33-9.25), advancing to the Meet of Champions in both events.

The Meet of Champions will be held at Dublin High School, with the top three in each event advancing to next week’s CIF State Championships.

All in all, it’s been a good season for the Warriors, who have had huge numbers on hand all season, with 54 athletes on this year’s team.

“They were amazing,” firstyear head coach Taylor Duncan said. “We have 17 seniors and I think that was a huge advantage.

It’s one of the biggest teams we’ve ever had.”

Duncan, who is a former Del Norte student-athlete who competed in football, basketball

and in track and field, returned to the area this past year after seven years coaching track and cross country at Shasta College.

He says he was hoping for about 35 athletes to show up for this year’s team but was pleasantly surprised with the numbers that came out, and more importantly the enthusiasm they brought.

“The kids bought in,” he said.

“Every kid was out there every single day, and that was pretty awesome.”

In addition to Zepeda and Sherman, teammates Alyssa McCovey, Gianna Taylor, Tianna Thompson, Lili Nunez and Teresa Martinez have also qualified for the Meet of Champions.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

State to support salmon population while supplying water to Californians California’s severe climate-driving drought is having a significant impact on the state’s water supply, but it’s also putting the state’s salmon population at serious risk.

Managing California’s water needs during this water supply crisis means minimizing the impacts of drought and water management on the environment while meeting the health and safety needs of communities and supporting the economy and agriculture. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) and Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) are actively working to respond to drought and climate change impacts on native species and ecosystems.

Scientists and fish biologists from DWR and CDFW have a long history of working together to protect and support California’s salmon populations.

Collaborating through shared projects, funding, and research efforts, DWR and CDFW are identifying critical challenges facing salmon and using the best available science and technology to find ways to promote salmon health and survival.

The state has embarked on dozens of projects to ensure the success of California’s salmon populations. These projects include restoring critical habitat for salmon and other fish species, improving salmon migration corridors to and from the ocean, and increasing monitoring efforts to better track the status of populations and devise new strategies to improve their status.

Among the recent highlights: In April, DWR and CDFW staff began work to remove vegetation from a key migratory path for adult spring-run Chinook salmon in the Sutter Bypass that runs parallel to the Sacramento River

Chinook salmon spawning in the Feather River. southwest of the Sutter Buttes. Each year, from February through June, salmon migrate through the East Borrow canal of the bypass on their way to spawning grounds near Chico. Waters are warmer in the bypass because of the severe drought and changing climate, and that has resulted in extensive overgrowth of aquatic vegetation that impedes adult salmon migration. DWR and CDFW scientists are working together to clear this migration pathway and ensure improved mobility and water quality for migrating adult spring-run Chinook salmon returning to their spawning grounds.

A video of the project is available on the DWR YouTube channel.

Further up the Sacramento River, returning salmon will find a new side channel with gravel suitable for spawning and riverbank vegetation to help reduce water temperatures. The warming climate and dry conditions are leading to increased river temperatures that can have fatal consequences

for salmon. The new side channel was designed

by DWR engineers and constructed by a tribal contractor near Anderson at a location where DWR and CDFW scientists observed numerous salmon taking advantage of the calmer waters to spawn. The side channel doubles as a place where juveniles can grow and thrive after hatching and emerging from the gravel. Similar activities to improve spawning locations through the application of suitable gravel have occurred in the Feather River, the Sacramento River’s largest tributary, and more are being planned.

Also underway along two tributaries of the Sacramento River in Tehama County is an enhanced research and monitoring project for spring-run juvenile salmon in Mill and Deer creeks by CDFW biologists under funding

by DWR. These are two of a handful of streams in the Central Valley that still support the unique yearling-type juvenile salmon, which remain in the waterbody after hatch-

ing for nearly a year before beginning downstream migration and are believed to be the only salmon from these two streams that survive drought conditions and eventually return to spawn. Yearling-type juvenile salmon were plentiful in streams across the Central Valley prior to dam construction and were likely a key factor in the resiliency of Central Valley salmon populations.

A major multi-agency effort is underway to assist migration of winter- and spring-run adults and juveniles around dams on the Upper Sacramento River and tributaries so they can access historical spawning and rearing-habitat that has been inaccessible for decades since dam construction.

This summer, DWR and CDFW will participate in an effort with multiple agencies, tribes and interested parties to test a system intended to collect juvenile salmon as they make their way downstream – a critical component of the assisted migration process. This

and other similar relocation projects are being considered as one of many ways to help ensure Central Valley salmon persist through the extended droughts predicted for California’s future.

State, federal, and university scientists are working to uncover new information and develop new actions to support and protect California’s salmon. For the last two years, scientists observed that many baby salmon are

events — both hurdles races and the 4x100m relay — after three top-five finishes this past Saturday.

The senior standout placed fourth in the 100 meter hurdles in a time of 17.06 seconds and fifth in the 300m hurdles in 48.05, while teaming with Taylor, Nunez and Thompson to place fifth in the 4x100m relay.

The sprinters all played a major role for the team in the league championships, which the Warriors hosted in Crescent City.

The talented trio of Taylor, Thompson and McCovey each had three top-three finishes on the day, which was pivotal in an 11.5 point team victory.

The Del Norte girls scored 136.5 points, followed by Arcata (125) and Eureka (111).

In addition to the 4x100m relay win, Taylor placed first in the 100 meters with a PR of 12.95 seconds and third in the 200 meters, while Thompson won the 200 meters with a PR of 26.59 seconds, and also was third in the 400 meters.

McCovey placed second to Eureka’s Ginny Brooks in both hurdles events.

“Alyssa has been a stud for us all year and just

dying before they hatch, or shortly thereafter, and discovered the cause was a thiamine deficiency in their parents resulting from a shift in the ocean food web, a phenomenon recently observed in a number of fish populations around the globe. While a simple thiamine bath has proven effective in alleviating this deficiency in hatchery fish, naturally spawning salmon in the rivers continue to be heavily impacted. Last spring, DWR and CDFW began thiamine treatments on the large number of adult spring-run salmon that pass through the Feather River Fish Hatchery but are released back into the river to spawn in an effort to help this already drought-stricken salmon population weather the period of altered ocean conditions.

These projects are a few examples of many long-term collaborations among federal, state, local, non-governmental, tribal, and academic partners that have joined forces to support salmon survival.

To learn more about collaborative projects protecting salmon populations, check out the DWR website highlighting these efforts and more. Additional projects will be featured throughout the summer. has a good work ethic,” Duncan said of the senior standout, who will compete for College of the Redwoods next year along with Thompson.

Senior teammate Caleh King also has enjoyed a good spring and placed first in the discus and second in the shot put at the league championships, and followed that with a 10thplace finish in the discus at the NCS Redwood Empire meet.

Martinez, meanwhile, won the league championship in the pole vault and followed that this past weekend with a seventh-place finish at Petaluma (8-8), qualifying for the Meet of Champions in the event.

For the boys, Zepeda placed first in both the triple jump and high jump at the league championships, while outstanding freshman Aden Mintonye placed first in the 300m hurdles and teamed with Caden Harrison, Bryson Price and Emmanuel Nunez to win the 4x100m relay.

As a team, the Del Norte boys scored 111 points and posted a comfortable 29-point win for the team championship, with Eureka second.

“They’re just a good group of kids,” the head coach said of his athletes.

Half of older adults now die with a dementia diagnosis

By Kim Callinan Nearly half of all older adults now die with a dementia diagnosis, up more than one-third (36%) in just the past two decades, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

While these findings are disheartening, they also serve to underscore the importance of advance care planning for the care we want – and don’t want – should we get dementia.

Thinking through these difficult decisions and having conversations with our loved ones and healthcare providers now, while we are still capable of making our healthcare decisions, will be a gift to our loved ones and to ourselves.

A good time to discuss your end-of-life care wishes with your family is when you are together, like Memorial Day weekend in May. It’s important to keep in mind that dementia, as a public health crisis, came as a result of significant advancements in medicine.

As we have discovered cures or treatments for many diseases over the last century that used to

be life-threatening, life expectancy has increased, and more people are dying with and from dementia.

In short, medicine can prolong how long the body lasts, but not the mind.

However, the default mode within our medical system is to extend the patient’s life, regardless of the quality of life, even for people with advanced dementia. We even subject advanced dementia patients to aggressive endof-life interventions that inflict needless suffering with little thought.

Dementia patients take comfort from their surroundings; transferring them to a hospital causes agitation, upset and in the most extreme situations, trauma. Yet, nearly six out of 10 nursing home residents with advanced dementia (57 percent) go to the emergency room at least once in the last month of life.

Furthermore, emergency room physicians are trained to extend life. This reality means you could be subjecting a patient with advanced dementia to cracked ribs as a result of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), an uncomfort-

Obituaries Dharma Marie Aldapi Stevens

able urinary catheter, or a breathing tube.

A small percentage of people may want these aggressive interventions.

However, more than nine out of 10 Americans (92%) agree that a person should “have the legal right to put in writing in advance that they want their caregiver and medical team to stop medical treatments when they are at a specific stage of dementia,” according to a 2018 survey by NORC and the University of Chicago commissioned by my organization.

The way to solve this crisis is to balance our advances in medicine with empathy and respect for the voice and wishes of the individual; to be seen and heard as an individual and not just as a patient.

While every person does have a legal right to forgo treatments, operationalizing this desire is not clear-cut. Dementia is a progressive disease: it’s not always obvious to loved ones the point at which their loved one would want to forgo treatments.

Is it when they no longer

recognize you, even if they seem otherwise happy? Is it only if they get violent? Or perhaps it takes multiple factors (e.g., can no longer eat, speak, dress themselves or carry on a conversation)?

I encourage all of us to give our loved ones the gift of clarity by filling out the free-of-charge Compassion & Choices dementia values and priorities online tool (values-tool.compassionandchoices.org). This tool helps you create a personalized care plan, based on your selected preferences, that your health care proxy can use to care for you should you get dementia.

While unfortunately there is no cure for dementia, we can take proactive steps to die naturally, potentially with less suffering, through advance care planning.

Kim Callinan is president/CEO of Compassion & Choices, the nation’s largest and oldest non-profit organization dedicated to improving and expanding healthcare options to empower everyone to chart their end-of-life journey.

October 18, 1968 - April 28, 2022

Dharma Marie Aldapi Stevens, 53, passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 28, 2022, from natural causes, complications of chronic health problems.

Her death was sudden and unexpected.

Dharma was born on October 18, 1968, in San Francisco, CA, raised in the Excelsior District, bore two beautiful daughters there and carried always in her heart memories of her hometown and the experiences she had there that contributed to the values that identified her.

She worked as a teacher, a domestic violence advocate, and an in-home healthcare provider. Mostly, she loved her family deeply, cared for children and the youth, always welcoming them into the warmth of her home.

She loved animals, plants, and nature, always having a variety of pets, a colorful garden and enjoyed camping and the Jedidiah Smith River as well as the beach. She was known as generous, supportive, loving, compassionate, accepting of others, and a good cook.

She dressed colorfully, draped herself in bangles, laughed and smiled a lot, and enjoyed getting her nails done. She nursed her mother, Marie Ely, during Marie’s last years, caring

for her 24/7 until the end.

Dharma is survived by her two beloved daughters, Ashley Rose and Maria-Antonia, the light of her life and granddaughter, Lucia Marie, her devoted son-in-law, Elijah, her loving uncle, Efrain, her adoring aunt, Denise, her out-of-state aunts, Cecilia and Jeanette, her first cousin with whom she was raised, Marie-Terese, her supportive friend she could always count on, Ann, her caring stepdad, Papa Ron, her husband, Carl, and a myriad of family members and friends who loved her, enjoyed her company or just miss her. We are sorry that we are unable to mention all the names of the people Dharma cared so dearly about. We believe that Dharma is watching over us and as now an honored ancestor, we can continue to learn from her and the examples she set.

Dharma’s church service will be on Friday, May 20th, 12PM, at St. Joseph Church, 319 E St, Crescent City, CA 95531, preceded by the Holy Rosary at 11:30 at the same location.

The Celebration of Life immediately follows.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

From the editor ...

You don’t have to come in first place to win Here are three unrelated topics that, although quite different, have one thing in common: Even a loss can be a win.

Having what you want is not as important as wanting what you have For about 30 seconds last Saturday, I was the owner of the fastest car in Del Norte County, maybe even in all of Northern California.

Don Nuss Jr., as we know, built some of the world’s fastest cars right here in Crescent City. Some even set world land speed records in their class at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

After Don Nuss’s passing, an auction was held Saturday, May 14, at his Redwood Welding Service shop to sell his race cars and motorcycles, metal fabrication and machine shop equipment and tools.

Lots of great stuff.

There was only two things from the hundreds of items offered at the auction that I truly wanted: the beautiful blue Streamliner that set a world land speed record of 336 mph; and Don Nuss’s library of engineering and metallurgy manuals that helped him design and create his Streamliner and other magnificent vehicles.

At $5, I was the only bidder for the library. I still had money in my pocket for the Streamliner.

It didn’t matter that I’m not exactly streamlined, myself, or that even if I ever managed to squeeze into this cruise missile I would have to be extracted with a shop crane and a gallon of axle grease. And I didn’t care that the when I drove it down Highway 101, it held only enough gas to go about 10 miles. I had to have it. After all, it is a part of Crescent City history!

An online bidder started at $10,500. I raised it to 11 thousand; back and forth in $500 increments until I hit a plateau at $17,500. I had promised my wife I would not go above $11,000. But there she was, the beautiful blue Streamliner.

And my wife was hundreds of miles away.

I begged the crowd for support. Did they want the Streamliner to go to some anonymous online bidder? I promised to keep the Streamliner right here in Crescent City where she was born. A member of the crowd offered to throw in $500. My brother Dennis chipped in another $1,500.

I was back in! Nothing was going to hold me back now!

Eighteen thousand, eighteen-five; nineteen, nineteen-five. Damn! This online bidder isn’t going away!

Twenty thousand, twenty thousand five hundred.

Twenty-one, twenty-one five hundred. Twenty-two, twentytwo-five.

The feeling must have been similar to what the Streamliner driver felt roaring across the salt flats watching the speedometer needle spin until it broke off. Faster and faster, closer and closer to victory. I felt it.

And then, the mystical powers of marriage intervened. Still more than 800 miles away, my wife must have known (again) that I was

going through a crazy spell.

Her message, sent through the clouds, the breeze, the birds, the bees, arrived at $24,500: “Stop, you dummy.”

For what seemed like a full minute, the online bidder failed to respond. Maybe he got the same message. “Oh crap! I might actually win this thing! It’s mine! Wait ‘til I tell my wife what I bought her!”

And then, the online bidder spoke up: “Twenty-five thousand.”

It was over. I was out. The Streamliner was his.

The exhilaration remained.

Disappointed? Certainly.

Things didn’t turn out all bad.

I paid my five dollars and got a great set of books that will keep me building Streamliners in my dreams for years. And my wife got to keep $24,500 that we desperately need to make some home improvements.

But for 30 seconds….

Ex-Sheriff Waltz pleads to single misdemeanor Ex-sheriff Randy Waltz pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor last week to settle one of the strangest prosecutions in recent memory. Waltz was originally charged with three voter and election fraud-related felonies regarding his residence address. He resigned as the appointed sheriff, and withdrew from the race to be elected to a four-year term.

The case was scheduled for a preliminary hearing last Thursday. The defense did not object to the prosecutor’s request to reduce Count 3 to a misdemeanor. In exchange for Waltz’s plea of no contest to that charge, the prosecution moved to dismiss Counts 1 and 2.

Waltz will serve no custody time, nor will he be placed on probation. He was fined $1,000. The plea pursuant to People v. West indicates that Waltz, in pleading no contest, did not actually agree with the accusatory facts. Nevertheless, the court found a factual basis to support the conviction.

There is some indication that Waltz will later seek an expungement of his conviction, which will wipe it off the books. Both sides got more or less what they wanted. An unpopular case was resolved without impaneling a jury and taking the case to trial.

Final qualifying lap for County Supervisor We are about to enter the final qualifying lap in the race for three seats on the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors. There are three candidates for District 3, four candidates for District 4, and five candidates for District 5 running in the June 7 primary election.

A candidate must receive at least 50 percent of the votes, plus one, to avoid a run-off in the November General Election, otherwise the top two candidates will face off against each other, and the top vote getter in November will be elected to the office.

Those candidates who do not make the cut in the June primary might be comforted by the reminder that is a lot less trouble to place third in the primary than second in the general election.

Guest columns Eye on Del Norte

I just love this place Let’s take a short election news break and change subjects for a moment.

Allow me to reflect on how fortunate I am to live in Del Norte County; it is truly a very special place with some very special people.

Thirteen years ago this month, Angie and I permanently moved to Crescent City. Speaking for my wife, we’ve been in love with Del Norte County and it’s people ever since.

For years prior to our actual move, we’d be traveling up from Santa Clarita, north every opportunity available to explore, embrace and enjoy everything about the Redwood coast and the magnificent trees, some as old as time itself. Living in Del Norte County is a dream come true for us.

Being of curious nature, I would often approach many of you folks, introduce myself and ask the proverbial icebreaker question, “So, where’re you folks from?”

Answers of varied from, “I was born here,” to “we’ve been up here for (blank) years from (blank

location).”

Geography varied as one would imagine. The conversation was friendly, refreshingly curious and thawed the ice of not knowing the person to whom you were speaking. And the curiosity was always reciprocal.

The resiliency of Del Norters is quite amazing. The community response to our Take a Bite out of Blight program initiated nine years ago was phenomenal. Scores of folks rolled up their sleeves and started to clean up long-standing human-created trash dumps which blighted our pristine neighborhoods.

Fifty-two organized cleanups later, I see many of your wonderful faces and I’m just humbled and so honored to call you folks my friends. Church of Latter Day Saints Mission volunteers and the Morman Church have always been there to help on our numerous blight cleanup projects and service to those in need.

Community outreach for the Woodruff family whose parents perished last year when a giant

Redwood tree fell atop their moving vehicle, was nothing short of incredible.

Roger The WoodGitlin ruff couple drove down U.S. Highway 199 at Walker Road when tragedy befell them. Folks around Del Norte dug deep into their pockets and raised $30,000 for the five Woodruff children through the dozen retailer drop off bins throughout the county. These generous folks are a very special people.

Years back, I was reminded the Welcome to the Redwood Empire Del Norte County signage at Hughway 101, the CEC airport and Highway 199 portals was looking pretty wretched and needed some serious refurbishment.

A Take a Bite out of Blight volunteer introduced me to an aspiring Eagle Scout Daniel Standring. The young Mr. Standring, Please see GITLIN, Page A5

Democracy is not a spectator sport Public participation is a vital component of a functioning democracy. Voting is only the start.

We also have an ongoing right and responsibility to participate in our government after the election is over.

After the votes are counted and we have elected our representatives the hard work begins. If we actively engage in decision making, then we can help ensure that our elected officials are representing our interests.

We have a right to hold our elected representatives accountable and expect them to be open and transparent in the decisions that they make. But we also have an obligation to inform ourselves about the policies and programs that are being considered.

Members of the public have a right to request information and public documents from government agencies. But government agencies do not have a legal requirement to reach out to you personally to inform you of actions that may affect you.

With very few exceptions, all decisions must be made in open public meetings. For regular meetings the agenda must be published 72 hours in advance. Then it is the responsibility of the public to look at the agenda to see if there is any cause for concern or praise.

All meeting agendas must be sufficiently detailed so that the average person can understand the action that may be taken. This re-

quired advance notification allows citizens to educate themselves on the decision that is proposed and enables them to comment on that action before it is taken.

Most agencies publish their agendas and supporting reports online. The City Council and Board of Supervisors are diligent in providing supporting documentation for important decisions. Some of the smaller agencies are not as consistent in facilitating public participation, but you have a right to request information.

If you choose not to research or read the available information, then it is unfair to accuse any agency of a lack of transparency.

Just because there is something you don’t know, doesn’t mean that it is unknowable. You have a right to an opinion, but you have a responsibility to base it on fact rather than rumors and innuendo.

There is rarely a case for a legitimate complaint about a lack of transparency in our local government agencies. It is more often the case that the complainant did not try very hard or did not know how to get the information they wanted.

While members of the public have a right to participate in decision making, we must follow the protocol of each board meeting that we attend. The City Council and Board of Supervisor meetings follow a very standard process.

Members of the public can step up to a microphone and comment on any or every item on the agenda.

The presiding officer can limit each person to 3 minutes per agenda item.

Kevin What is Hendrick not acceptable is for members of the public to speak out of turn from the audience or disrupt the business of the meeting in any other way. Disruptors can be removed if their behavior violates acceptable demeanor.

Constructive public participation is an important part of good government. Every elected official can learn from public comments even if they disagree with them. In my experience, open discussions of complicated issues will often result in better public policy.I have advice for anyone who is frustrated or disappointed with the direction that our government is taking.

Step up and exercise your guaranteed right to participate in government decisions. Democracy is not a spectator sport. If you get involved locally, you really can make a difference.

If you would like to participate in our Democracy more actively, send me an email at dndems@ gmail.com Kevin Hendrick is the Chair of the Del Norte County Democratic Central Committee

Building Historic Del Norte

A tour of redwood’s contribution to local architecture

By Jessica Robin Last time we talked about how a building’s historic significance derives from its connection to events, such as a tsunami. However, historic significance can also be connected to people too, and a variety of circumstances.

Together in this column we are looking at the architectural style of our local buildings’ and their contribution to the character and aesthetic of the region. The column’s goal aligns with HABS, Historic American Buildings Survey’s intention to, “represent “a complete resume of the builder’s art.”

Thus, the building selection ranges in type and style from the monumental and architect-designed, to the utilitarian and vernacular, including a sampling of our nation’s vast array of regionally and ethnically derived building traditions.” Only our vast array is contained within the region and boundaries of Del Norte County at this time.

From the late 1800’s to early 1900’s the Gold Rush brought many to the region with high hopes and in search of riches. For

Redwood was once very popular in building homes around Crescent City. those who made it up the Lost Coast (1850s) logging redwood was better than striking gold. This burst in extraction coincided with building and demand for redwood boomed (1945-1950). Homes, ranches, government and education institutions, and lumber mills.

What remains today is a testa-

Gitlin From page A4

as part of his quest for the rank of Eagle Scout, volunteered to refurbish those signs which today appear as pristine as the surrounding environment, thanks to Daniel’s efforts I still treasure many of those initial introductions, many of which have grown into full blown friendships.

Living in this community affords me many opportunities to interface with lots of different people including drivers and passengers of many out-ofstate vehicles. An out-ofstate license plate was like a magnet to me.

Last week, a senior gentleman was walking from the Lighthouse parking lot while I was in my front yard. We nodded at one another and I asked him where he was from. He replied, “North Dakota.”

“North Dakota? Wow! The Peace Garden state.

Sure’s cold up there,” I uttered, which, pardon the pun, broke the ice, introduced myself and he said his name was Howard. I’m kind of a geography bug

Robin From page A4

Local architectural styles evolved from federal and colonial to Victorian, to arts and crafts, to colonial, Greek, and Roman revival, to bungalows and craftsman. Drive through Crescent City from Highway 101 west to 2nd Street, to north to I, J, or H Street, then west 9th Street to Pebble Beach Drive to tour some examples.

The Crescent City Historical Museum is a fantastic resource and caretaker of all knowledge on local history including historic buildings. Please visit the museum at 577 H Street.

Many early buildings, both residential and commercial, in our region, are built with redwood.

A unique feature rarely found in other parts of the state, country, or world.

Redwood is pest and rot re-

and pride myself on knowing a lot about the fifty states. Del Norte County has quite a few North Dakota transplants.

We enjoyed a half hour conversation about Crescent City, Del Norte County and the Peace Garden State. Howard candidly admitted folks here were not like the friendly folk atmosphere of rural North America. I was determined to give Howard the very best impression of his visit to Del Norte County, and to do so sincerely.

This incident prompted me to start additional ice-breaker conversations, and it reminded me of my very first Triplicate letter to the editor many years ago entitled, “So, where are you folks from?”

As divided as we are politically, perhaps almost Grand Canyon-esq in politics, we are all just trying to make the best of life through really tough times.

I may not agree with some folks’ politics, but I can appreciate we all have something to give to improve the quality of life in this very special place we call home.

Both Lighthouses, one

easily accessible, the other a bit more difficult without a helicopter, are rich in history and culture. Stout Grove, Mouth of the Smith River, the endless beaches along South Beach, the breathtaking, awesome Trees of Mystery, the rich culture of the Yurok, Elk Valley Rancheria and Tolowa dee’ni Tribes, the magnificent Klamath and Smith Rivers, fascinating Ocean World, the Crescent City Harbor and the countless hiking trails in and out of the Redwood National and State Parks.

Share and enjoy every possible and positive experience in Crescent City and Del Norte County.

And let’s be extra friendly, inviting and curious to all of our visitors. Each tourist dollar circulates eight times before it leaves our community.

May I also suggest that, if you observe trash in an area other than a refuse bin, please pick it up and dispose of it appropriately.

Take a Bite out of Blight.

Crescent City and Del Norte County is truly very special place. Let’s keep it beautiful; whether we reside here are not.

sistant, a hardwood known for its strength and beauty.

Besides being an accessible local building product at the time, I think, it was chosen to represent the local culture and environment, as a way to speak without speaking.

That, to me, is what makes architecture fun and local historic buildings exciting and intriguing.

How they speak, the things they say, and don’t say, the lives they held and stories they hold.

The redwood beams and ceilings also tell stories of their sacrifice, how extensive logging changed the landscape forever.

Fortunately, today we can learn from the past and design for future generations. Redwood is a superb building product. Its sustainable, locally (within 500 miles) sourced material, made from rapidly renewable young trees, and qualifies for green building

credits in project certification.

Summer is almost here on the foggy coast, and if you’re thinking about a home improvement project such as; a fence, deck, pergola, stairs, or garden centerpiece, choose redwood; it’s a fantastic building product that lasts, and looks elegant and natural because it is. You can find a list of qualified suppliers at the Forest Stewardship Council.

In this series we invite you to look with us at local historical buildings in Del Norte County. If you own or occupy or know of a story about a building that you would like to share with our readers please contact us for your building to be featured in an upcoming column about local architectural interest and style.

Letters to the Editor Almost done with you I’m so close to cancelling my subscription. You said you were NOT going to turn The Triplicate into a right wing rag! Yet, in your editorial you project that State funding for the homeless will lead to more homelessness.

“All the attention will be focussed on expanding the number of “homeless” people so that more government money will be made available.”

Really? Please stop using unsubstantiated right wing talking points and site your sources.

In your report on the successful Coachella Valley Housing Coalition (CVHC), you also neglect to mention that they received a $6 million USDA grant from the big bad government. Federal funding is OK, but State funding = nanny state?!

How about raging against Corporate Welfare? According to the Tax Crisis Institute, the average single American pays 29.6 percent in federal taxes.

But the GOP reduced the corporate tax rate in 2017 to 21 percent.

Many corporations also get fat subsidies and government contracts. Some find tax loopholes and pay no taxes at all!

For 50 years we’ve been waiting for the mythical Trickle Down Theory to kick in. In the meantime, millionaires became billionaires, wages stagnated, the middle class shrunk, young people cannot afford rent or homes and homelessness is a chronic problem.

This is what happens when you break up unions and coddle corporate billionaires. We have monopolies that won’t pay a decent wage. The Big Box Billionaires reward their CEO’s and shareholders, buy giant yachts and space ships, while their employees struggle.

Ironically it is the government jobs here that pay well and offer benefits,

enabling people to spend money in our community to stimulate our local economy.

The MAGA people forget that when America had a large prosperous middle class, there were many union jobs that paid a livable wage, and there were one billionaire!

Jonnell Covault Crescent City Editor’s Note: The principal differences between the CVHC Single-family Home Ownership Program and all the proposed homeless shelters, motel conversions, apartments and campsites is the CVHC model leads to home ownership, not a lifetime of rental tenancy and government dependency. By building their own homes, the participating families earn sweat equity that pays the down payment, leaving a much smaller mortgage at a lower rate.

What’s wrong with that?

Enough of Gitlin Please reconsider retaining Roger Gitlin as a columnist. In my opinion his writing is an embarrassment both to your paper and as a “voice” of conservatism.

He frequently relies on name calling, hyperbole, and other emotional appeal techniques to present his views, rather than deliberate, reasoned argument supported by facts.

Several times now I have read his column where he does present useful information, and then jumps to his opinion without any clear logical link between the information and his opinion. (Examples: Deputy is shot, the criminal is convicted and sentenced > Santa Clarita City Council not enforcing federal border security.

County budget facts > welfare is unwarranted and excessive.)

The traditional tenets of conservatism (minimal government necessary, em-

phasis on personal responsibility and community action, maximum citizen freedoms, caution in embracing change, and good stewardship of resources) are important values to bring to public discourse.

They need to be expressed clearly, rationally, and with integrity.

Unfortunately, Mr. Gitlin seems unable to do so.

While he is able to express his feelings clearly in plain language, it often reveals divisive contempt, which does not serve his cause well. Nor does it serve the reader’s interest, nor the public’s, as it does little to inform, enlighten, unify, or solve our common problems.

When the Triplicate affords him about twice the column length to say half as much as his colleague Kevin Hendrick, and you have to amend his column with editorial remarks, it suggests either an intentional editorial bias or editorial weakness, and I hope neither is the case.

Either way, it severely undermines the intended message of the column.

Surely there must be a writer in Del Norte County who can articulate and reasonably express those essential conservative values in a more constructive way.

If you can find one, the public’s interest will be better served and your paper will appear more balanced. If you cannot, it doesn’t speak well for the state of our current conservative thought.

Perhaps Mr Gitlin’s rhetoric does sell papers by purveying outrage and division. That is a common problem with many contemporary media outlets.

Roger Niesen Crescent City Editor’s note: Some say more with fewer words.

Some march to their own drummer. Some have the courage to speak up, even if what they say is not popular.

Notice of Pacific Power’s Request to Increase Your Electric Rates Application (A.22-05-006) WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS NOTICE? On May 5, 2022, Pacific Power filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting an overall increase to electric rates for its 2023 general rate case.

Pacific Power is also proposing a Time of Use rate option that will enable many customers to better manage their energy bills by shifting usage to times of day when electricity is less expensive. While the ability of an individual customer to save money on Time of Use varies, the potential savings opportunity will be significant.

If this application is approved, it would result in a rate increase of $27.9 million or 25.7 percent effective January 1, 2023. This will impact your monthly bill.

Pacific Power also offers a variety of ways to budget for energy expenses. Equal pay billing options, along with energy use monitoring or tracking, are offered online and through the company’s app. Pacific Power customers can also tap into information and rebates to help improve their energy efficiency and lower their bills. Customers can call 1-888-221-7070 to discuss options.

WHY IS PACIFIC POWER REQUESTING THIS RATE INCREASE? The Company is required to file a general rate case with the CPUC for review of, among other items, the Company’s revenue requirement, which is the amount of money a utility collects through rates for specific purposes. This rate increase is driven by current economic trends and the following efforts: • Investments in and maintenance of our system infrastructure such as distribution plants, poles, wires and other equipment needed to deliver electricity to customers.

• Enhanced vegetation management including annual inspections, pole clearing and increased trimming clearances in high fire threat areas.

HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application will be assigned to a CPUC administrative law judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The administrative law judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt Pacific Power’s application, modify it or deny it. Any CPUC commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC commissioners at a public CPUC voting meeting.

Parties to the proceeding are currently reviewing Pacific Power’s application, including the Public Advocates Office, which is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov, or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov.

• Implementation of the resilience improvement plans approved by regulators to maintain safety and reliability in the face of increasingly extreme weather events.

These investments include, but are not limited to, installation of covered overhead wires to reduce ignition risk, an expanded network of weather stations, the hiring of meterology and emergency management staff to increase situational awareness of local conditions and system protective devices to localize and minimize power shut-offs that may be necessary to avert potential wildfire ignition risk.

WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?

The general rate case does not include net power costs or greenhouse gas allowance costs and revenues, which are addressed in Pacific Power’s energy cost adjustment clause application filed annually on or around August 1st.

Contact Pacific Power

This application will be reviewed by the CPUC to determine if the costs are reasonable and eligible for recovery from customers before any rate increase is approved.

Mail: Pacific Power 300 S. Main Street Yreka, CA 96097

HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? If Pacific Power’s rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential monthly bill using 850 kWh per month would increase by approximately $33.37 or 25.8% per month in January 2023. A summary of the estimated rate impact is provided below.

Your participation by providing your thoughts on Pacific Power’s request can help the CPUC make an informed decision.

If you have questions about CPUC processes, you may contact the CPUC’s Public Advisor’s Office at:

Pacific Power’s most vulnerable customers can access a variety of bill support programs through local community action agencies. In addition, the company supports the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program. In 2021, close to one third of Pacific Power’s 36,000 residential customers received discounts toward their bill payments through the CARE program, which amounted to $3.6 million in bill discounts. In this filing, Pacific Power is proposing to increase the amount of the discount offered to CARE-eligible households from 20 percent to 25 percent. If approved, this additional discount would reduce the impact of rate adjustments to the most vulnerable customers.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Governor proposes $15 million COVID-19 testing centers for Yurok wellness center expanding in Del Norte County Tribe’s culture and placebased religion.

The Tribe’s traditional value system focuses on maintaining balance on an individual and global scale. The Tribal Court’s Wellness Court and Joint Family Wellness Court have helped numerous Tribal citizens achieve sobriety and return to being contributing members of the community. The Regional Wellness Center will enable the Court to exponentially increase the number of people it can serve.

“In addition to putting their lives at risk and causing tremendous heartache within their families, those in the throes of addiction are vulnerable to human trafficking and worse,” said Tribal Chief Justice Abby Abinanti. “Human traffickers know they can easily take advantage of addicts’ dependence on drugs and manipulate them in horrible ways. I know of many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women People cases that involve victims who were struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues,” Justic Abinanti said.

“These new facilities will aid in our efforts to the combat the MMIWP crisis too,” Justice Abinanti added. “I hope and pray this dream finally comes true.”

On the West Coast, the opioid epidemic first took root in the remote Northern California region. In Humboldt County, the rate of overdose deaths is more than twice the national average, and overdose mortality rates have jumped

By MATTHEW MAIS

A Long-planned Regional Wellness Center in the Yurok community may soon become a reality. Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed an investment of $15 million to create a much-needed, tribally operated Regional Wellness Center.

The state-of-the-art Regional Wellness Center will offer culturally relevant and conventional drug, alcohol and mental health services. With an option to stay for up to a year, based court referrals, residents will have access to a wide variety of supportive services, which revolve around the restoration of mental, physical and spiritual health.

Services will include: methamphetamine treatment, medically assisted treatment for opioid addiction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, meditation and guided breathing and relaxation techniques.

The Center will provide on-campus and off-campus cultural activities and events to keep residents connected to their community. Individual, family and group therapy will be also be available.

There are no similar facilities in the region, which extends from Southern Oregon to Southern Humboldt County. Currently, the Yurok Tribal Court sends a majority of its clients to San Francisco for drug treatment, which is hundreds of miles away from their families and support groups. The long distance also prevents them from participating in the

40 percent in the last two years. In 2018, the Yurok Tribe filed a federal lawsuit against 20 of the largest opioid manufactures and distributors in the United States in an attempt to hold them accountable for their role in the widespread abuse of prescription painkillers.

Located in the northwestern corner of California, the Yurok Tribe is the largest federally recognized Tribe in California, and neighbors the second and third most populous sovereign tribal nations.

Due to historical trauma, poverty and systemic inequities as well as many other complex factors, mental health issues, including substance abuse, are disproportionately prevalent in this rural part of the state.

Based on the success of the Yurok Tribal Court’s Wellness Court and Joint Family Wellness Court, the Regional Wellness Center will significantly reduce rates of addiction and elevate the communities of California’s north coast.

Yurok Tribal Chairman Joseph L. James said the Yurok Nation has been working on this project for a really long time.

“It will strengthen our shared communities from many generations to come.

It’s that important. The Regional Wellness Center will serve as the most powerful tool in our arsenal to combat the disease of addiction,” James said.

The OptumServe testing sites in Klamath, Smith River and Crescent City will be expanding their services to include Test to Treat services starting May 16. Test to Treat services include rapid antigen testing, and when testing positive, individuals can receive an assessment by a medical provider to determine eligibility to receive a prescription antiviral medications all at the same location. These services are free of charge, but please contact (888) 634-1123 for more information.

Effective May 25, the OptumServe site will relocate to the Pem Mey Fuel Mart located at 125 Ehlers Way in Klamath on Wednesdays. They will be closed on May 18.

Below are some links for additional information about Test to Treat services: Treatments/General

* DON’T WAIT. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, get tested. Treatment works best when started as soon as possible after symptoms start and before symptoms worsen. * COVID-19 treatments can lower risk of severe illness and hospitalization and work best when taken soon after symptoms begin.

How to get COVID-19 treatments: * If you have symptoms, call your health care provider right away to ask about testing and if you qualify for COVID-19 treatments. * Stay home and isolate away from others to avoid making them sick. * If you don’t have a health care provider or don’t hear back from your provider within a few days, visit a Test to Treat site to get rapid testing and find out if treatments are right for you. For Del Norte,

these are the OptumServe Sites in Smith River, Crescent City and Klamath.

Visit the Del Norte County Info Hub for OptumServe sites and schedules.

COVID-19 treatments are not a substitute for COVID-19 vaccines.

While treatments are an essential tool in the fight against COVID-19, vaccines are how we get through the pandemic. Go to MyTurn to book your appointment to find a walkin clinic near you.

Test to Treat Initiative * The United States government launched the Test to Treat initiative as part of the federal government’s National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan. Through this program, individuals can get tested, assessed by a medical provider, and (if appropriate) given prescription antiviral pills (Paxlovid or molnupiravir) all in the same location.

Rev Douglas Brower For U.S. Congress 2nd District

Bringing Biblical Principles to Governance

BRINGING CHANGE

The reality is that we need to wake up and realize that our current leaders are not representing us, The people of Northern California.

I Stand for School Choice!

Let’s make sure that our children are protected and that we have a voice in their education and growth in the School System As the parents of 4 daughters, 2 granddaughters and 2 grandsons, my wife Bonnie and I feel that our family values are not currently being represented by our District 2 U.S. Congressman.

I have a finger on the pulse of our district with regards to our major issues like homelessness, economics, wildfires, drought, Covid-19, gas prices, taxes, and infrastructure.

As a public servant, I have served on the City of Ferndale Design Review Committee, the Planning Commission, as an elected City Councilman, an educator at local drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs as well as various other committees.

I am uniquely prepared to represent our district with core Biblical principles and sound business decisions.people!

County Supervisor, District 5

Questions for Supervisorial Candidates

Susan Masten

Terri Colton

David Jones

1. How should the homeless crisis be addressed? Should Del Norte County buy more motels to convert to homeless shelters?

We need to develop a comprehensive plan to increase the availability of affordable housing. We can benefit from Rogue Valley’s model, among others, and create a plan that works for everyone, from homeless folks to working professionals who cannot find a suitable place to live.

All services should be a hand up not a hand out. We do need homeless shelters, but not in residential areas, nor on our main corridor. They need to be located in any area where there are also other services available.

We need to have transitional housing for the homeless that includes the wraparound services they need.

2. What can be done to improve morale within the Sheriff’s department?

How can the Sheriff’s department more effectively recruit, hire and retain experienced deputies?

Problems in our Sheriff’s Department have been building for decades. We can improve morale by providing an environment that is clean and safe to work in, streamlining the hiring process, increasing the number of officers, paying competitive wages, offering bonuses to attract and retain officers, and recruiting local folks to apply.

We need a Sheriff Department task force not another oversight committee. The department needs to be taken apart from top to bottom and the put back together.

The lack of officers isn’t just because of money. The morale has been down for years with no one listening.

We, as a community, need to show support for the Sheriff’s Department. We need to review our current hiring practices for possible changes and/or enhancements.

We also need to have the new hires sign a contract to remain with the department for three to five years.

3. What can be done to avoid the “catch and release” back into the community of criminal defendants before their matters are resolved by the courts?

Should the 48-bed Juvenile Hall – with only one or two persons in custody – be repurposed as an adult facility?

By revitalizing our Sheriff’s Department, we can stop “catch and release” and improve safety and security in our jail facility. If we repurpose Juvenile Hall for adults, where would we put the juveniles?

This is not a practical solution. In the longterm, we need to build a community where children receive structured support, not incarceration.

The “catch and release” issue was compounded by the pandemic. I propose we work with the Probation Department, the District Attorney, the Courts and the Sheriff to develop a no-nonsense policy which will keep offenders in custody until they can be seen by the Court, for the Court to make that decision.

Unfortunately Propositions 47 and 57 and AB109 have created this revolving door. As supervisor I will work with the District Attorney to find alternative ways to approach this. I am open to looking into the possible conversion of Juvenile Hall into an adult facility, but I need more information.

I’ve had four town hall meetings in Crescent City and Klamath. My constituents want their voice to be heard and to be a part of the solution. Their top concerns are: mental health, youth education/recreation, public safety and access to reliable internet and phone service. As your Supervisor, I have already started to work on many of these issues.

District 5 needs better internet and broadband. We must improve the safety in District 4, and I am proposing we utilize the Yurok Tribal police for Klamath. We have a substation for the Sheriff for the rest of the district, and we implore neighborhood watch groups.

There are two top pressing challenges in District 5. The first is the lack of emergency services. This will be compounded if the Red Mountain repeater is removed. I will work to find a fair solution. The other is homeless encampments. Here is where transitional housing will come into play.

5. How can Del Norte County become a place where young people want to remain, to raise a family, to start a career, and become a vital part of this community? What will you do to bring about these changes?

Children in Del Norte County need to see their homes as a safe, innovative, in a growing community where they can dream about their future and find educational opportunities and adult support to make it happen. The County’s role includes revitalizing recreation programs, supporting schools, and participating in the Promise Neighborhood initiative which will bring $30 million to better equip our local students.

We take pride in what we have. We provide opportunities for the youth so that when they get to a time when they are having children, they realize the opportunities available for their children. We encourage the younger generation to take on community pride projects, such as I have done for the past 39 years with the Jaycee Tournament.

We need infrastructure. More shopping, businesses large and small. We need to show and encourage our youth that there are good jobs right here. We can develop a mentoring program and offer specialized classes that showcase what we have to offer.

6. Should Del Norte County impose additional controls and fees on shortterm rentals? Should short-term rentals be confined to commercial or multi-family zones, or to owner-occupied properties?

In developing a comprehensive plan for affordable housing, we do need to look at controls on short-term rentals. But we want to encourage tourism and local entrepreneurship as well as affordable housing.

Finding the middle ground requires careful research.

The only controls that vacation rentals should have extra beyond what a normal business should have is if they are located in a residential area. There needs to be guidelines for making sure the guests are not disruptive to the community. All vacation rentals should be registered with the county also.

Before we think about any fees or controls. We need to get an accurate count of the short-term rentals that we have.

We must determine where they are and whether they are paying their Transient Occupancy Tax (T.O.T.) fees.

7. Should Del Norte County turn down state and federal grants with strings attached that dictate how local government must solve local problems? Under what circumstances should Del Norte County confront problems without outside funding?

The short answer is, “It’s complicated!”

We need to accept state and federal grants that work for our overall benefit. Yes, we should be wary of strings that come with grant money, but to turn our backs on all funding on ideological grounds would be imprudent.

No. You should never leave money on the table. We should be selective with the grants we apply for and make sure the requirements of them fit within our vision as a county. We should confront problems with outside funding when it helps improve the overall growth of our residents.

Yes. We are already doing that with Measures R and S.

8. Should the Measure R sales tax increase be repealed? Why or why not?

I don’t support the repeal of Measure R. Measure R money pays for emergency disaster preparedness and the salaries of employees vital to our community’s success: law enforcement officers, dispatch operators, District Attorney investigators, code enforcement, nuisance and blight officers, and animal control staff.

Measure R was voted in by a majority of my constituents. My job would be making sure that all funds were spent within the guidelines.

Measure R should not be repealed. In it’s first year it has created several good paying jobs for the County. It has given much needed pay increases to law enforcement. These are good things. And more to come in the future.

9. Briefly explain, Why are you the best candidate for a seat on the Board of Supervisors representing your district?

I am grateful for the opportunity to be serving my county now as District 5 Supervisor. I believe voters will be able to answer this question for themselves after reading my answers here and considering my record of leadership in the community.

I have proven to have a variety of experience in all aspects of the unique population of District 5, including the working families, the business owners, the Tribal members, and all those in between.

I have not been sitting on the sidelines, I am directly involved in the solutions that make this county great. I have been advocating for the betterment of this county as a resident, and I will continue to advocate as your supervisor.

I am the President of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce for 4 years. I am the spokesman for the Measure R Oversight Committee. I was the Chairman of the Del Norte Redistricting Committee. I decided to run more than two years ago.

As you can see, I have been actively working for our community and this goal since then. I will be able to start working as your Supervisor on Day One.

Questions for Supervisorial Candidates

David Markel

Dean Wilson

1. How should the homeless crisis be addressed? Should Del Norte County buy more motels to convert to homeless shelters?

We needed to help families that have become homeless due to no fault of their own. We need to get service members off the streets and into the military programs that will help. People with mental problems need better one-on-one, in-person programs, not a counselor on a computer screen. Addicts on the streets need to be put into a program to dry these people up.

If this doesn’t help, we needed to lock them up in jail until He or She is Dry. Repeat offenders stay longer in Jail. No more homeless motels.

To control the homeless crisis, Del Norte County needs to model successful programs. One such program provides a Designated Area for the homeless to stay, thus giving law enforcement the ability to remove the homeless from “undesignated areas” and thereby control where the homeless can rest. I do not support county purchase of shelters or hotels.

2. What can be done to improve morale within the Sheriff’s department?

How can the Sheriff’s department more effectively recruit, hire and retain experienced deputies?

The need to have better pay for officers, and better pay for office help in the sheriff’s department will improve morale.

The pay should be comparable with other departments in the area. They need to be able to lock Criminals up for more than five seconds, the paper is not dry before the criminal is let loose on the street and ready to be lock up again.

It is not more money, but accountability and leadership that is needed. The Sheriff’s Office has become a toxic work environment where lack of discipline and accountability have led to a breakdown in standards and high turnover. It is now suffering from a lack of experienced deputies and staffing shortages.

3. What can be done to avoid the “catch and release” back into the community of criminal defendants before their matters are resolved by the courts?

Should the 48-bed Juvenile Hall – with only one or two persons in custody – be repurposed as an adult facility?

LONGER JAIL TIME! Yes, this would help with catch and release, this would work until these people go to Court and this will help with the morale. To keep these people in jail longer, the use of the 48-bed Juvenile Hall will help. We need to repurpose this facility for these criminals.

Our jail has a capacity for 142 inmates, but we have a District Attorney that won’t prosecute low level criminal offenders and COVID rules that won’t allow for holding those arrested for non-violent crimes.

Juvenile hall should not be converted, but it should be closed. Is it the best way to spend $2.5 million per year?

4. What is the most pressing problem in your supervisorial district? What do you propose as a solution?

Roads need to be fixed. Put them into the road system, or call them a county-maintained road, or just run a road grader down these streets. Homelessness is a real problem that needs to be fix and these homeless people are often druggies and criminals who need to be put in jail. These steps will solve most of the problems in District 5.

Crime and the homeless are the most common concerns I hear from the citizens in District 5. By creating a Designated Area (see answer No.1), law enforcement can then enforce laws prohibiting homeless camps outside of that area; the District Attorney can prosecute offenders; and homeless services can focus on the Designated Area to encourage use.

County Clerk/Recorder Alissia D. Northrup

Bring back better paying jobs, like in the fishing industry, Right now the Harbor Commission is trying to get rid of the fisheries and Fashion Blacksmith, which has been a boat builder and repair shop for decades, and provides good paying job for its employees. Jobs like this make lots of money and employs a lot of workers. This is good for the tax base and would keep some of the younger people in this county, This will create more new business, followed by new retail shopping.

Opportunities and Love of Community are vital, along with living wage jobs and reasonable starter homes, especially for young people. We need to aggressively promote the trades: plumbers, electricians, contractors, farmers and ranchers. Our high school should be joining with Humboldt Poly Tech on computer education and engineering.

Auditor-Controller Clinton Schaad

6. Should Del Norte County impose additional controls and fees on shortterm rentals? Should short-term rentals be confined to commercial or multi-family zones, or to owner-occupied properties?

NO Bad Business, NO Del Norte should not impose any fees at all, I think a land owner should be able to rent properties when he or she has the space to rent, within reasonable county guidelines. The county is always trying to take their cut; we must stop the county from having to much control over private property

No, we need to promote development.

We need to make the process simpler and easy for projects to move quickly. Government needs to get out of the way of progress and be an asset and not an impediment. We need to help in the development of starter homes and affordable rentals by reducing regulations.

7. Should Del Norte County turn down state and federal grants with strings attached that dictate how local government must solve local problems? Under what circumstances should Del Norte County confront problems without outside funding?

Yes, we should turn down federal grants that take control of county government.

We don’t need someone telling us how to run our law enforcement. Our problem may not be the same, as theirs. Del Norte County doesn’t need to take in homeless problems from different counties or other cities for money. Those citites need to solve their own problems, not give them to Del Norte County. The county needs to solve its own problem and get help with no strings attached. Our issues are not always the same as other counties; one fix doesn’t always fix all the problems.

My experience as administrator allowed me to evaluate the costs and benefits of available grants, choosing those best suited for our situation. For example, I often refused grants that required staffing commitments which would reduce patrol deputy time in our communities. Other than emergencies, grants that require ongoing commitment of resources need to be avoided.

8. Should the Measure R sales tax increase be repealed? Why or why not?

YES Measure R should be repealed.

This is a Business and Job Killer. Who wants to start a business in Del Norte County with high taxes when you can drive 20 miles and pay no sales taxes at all. People are not going to shop in Del Norte County or Crescent City. I know a lot people who shop out of the town so they don’t have to pay high taxes. I see a lot of people driving around town so they don’t have to go into Crescent City We are losing business. The roads they are using to bypass Crescent City are not design for this kind of traffic. Measure R, hurts the county in long run, by destroying county roads which the county doesn’t want to repair in the first place.

I did not vote for Measure R and I firmly believe the government should live within its means. In these inflationary times, if Measure R is repealed, it would be wise to develop two versions of next year’s budget, one with and one without Measure R funding.

9. Briefly explain, Why are you the best candidate for a seat on the Board of Supervisors representing your district?

I care what’s happening in District 5, I know what the problems are with the roads and homeless, I am the person that can solve problems in District 5, and I will working for every person in District 5, not for special interest groups. I have lived in the same place for 40 years in Bertsch Track, helped build the fire station in Bertsch track. This has helped with fire insurance for Bertsch residents. I helped the sheriff department step up patrols in the Bertsch Track area as a member of the sheriff advisory committee. I will help the rest of District 5 in the same way.

As Sheriff, I navigated the department for 12 years through many challenges, but came out stronger. Serving as your County Supervisor, I will prioritize listening, learning, and planning for you, in order to have a government responsive to your needs. I will use both my government and private business experience to benefit our district and open up opportunities.

5. How can Del Norte County become a place where young people want to remain, to raise a family, to start a career, and become a vital part of this community? What will you do to bring about these changes?

County Supervisor, District 3

Questions for Supervisorial Candidates

Chris Howard

Joe “Hank” Akin

A15

Frank Magarino

1. How should the homeless crisis be addressed? Should Del Norte County buy more motels to convert to homeless shelters?

We need to identify those who are struggling with mental illness and substance abuse, and provide programs for those who need a hand up, as well as work with new state legislation to address this community priority. No, I do not believe our County should purchase additional motels.

Fix the problem, not the narrative. The Constitutional Right to pursue happiness must be protected. The question is not about mental health and drugs or economic hardship; those issues are separate and require different solutions. Del Norte County should not buy more motels to convert to homeless shelters without specific measured financial benefit to the county, as well as the guaranteed safety and security of its citizens.

Absolutely not, Del Norte County should not be buying any more motels and weakening our Transient Occupancy Tax base.

2. What can be done to improve morale within the Sheriff’s department?

How can the Sheriff’s department more effectively recruit, hire and retain experienced deputies?

Garrett Scott will be our new Sheriff.

The Board of Supervisors must provide him with the support he needs to rebuild the Sheriff’s Department, its workforce, the jail, dispatch and deputies that protect this community. Effective leadership and Measure R funding will be key to solving these issues.

Provide the tools and training to deal with the current and ever-changing issues and support the enforcement of their lawful duties. Without a thriving and safe and supportive community in which to live and serve, a successful effort to recruit, hire and retain experienced deputies is not likely to happen. Prison guards make more money, yet they return to their families from whence they came also. There is not enough tax dollars to sustain competition with other agencies. We must compete with revenue to compete with salaries.

First of all, we need strong leadership and build up morale. I believe incoming Sheriff Garrett Scott will bring that to the Sheriff’s Department. When a deputy makes an arrest, we need to support them and prosecute the criminals, we need to stop the catch and release. It’s bad for the sheriff’s department’s morale.

3. What can be done to avoid the “catch and release” back into the community of criminal defendants before their matters are resolved by the courts?

Should the 48-bed Juvenile Hall – with only one or two persons in custody – be repurposed as an adult facility?

In 2014, AB109, Prop 47 and Prop 57 resulted in early release of criminals and affected our ability to prosecute offenders. Our peace officers need the tools and legislation to do their jobs so our district attorney can prosecute. Until our jail can be rebuilt, every option, including juvenile hall, should be considered.

The “catch and release” narrative is caused by the failed policies from Sacramento lawmakers. Laws have to be in place to be enforced. The act of theft is the same crime, regardless of the dollar amount. Hold your government accountable. The County has the authority to sue the Governor for failure to protect its citizens. The Juvenile Hall, with a secure physical plant and necessary staffing can be repurposed into an adult facility. But if the County cannot financially staff the county jail, how can it expand the ability to do so across town? Priority budgeting is a last option, what gets cut to support safety?

That’s a subject that has been discussed in the past but the 42-bed Juvenile Hall would need a major retrofitting, and other obstacles that need to be overcome. It can be done, we just need strong leadership to make it happen.

4. What is the most pressing problem in your supervisorial district? What do you propose as a solution?

High fire danger and fuel loads on our public and private lands, and high insurance premiums are a continuing threat to District 3. Thankfully, we’ve secured millions of dollars to address fuel reductions, and I’m working hard to have our voices heard in Sacramento regarding insurance premiums.

The residents of the Third District indicate safety and security as the most pressing concern. We must support the newly lected Sheriff to the extent possible to perform his necessary Constitutional duties.

District 3 has three distinct regions.

Gasquet’s pressing need is to address the Fire Risk Assessment and very high cost of fire insurance, something that should have been addressed over two years ago before we were designated as such. Hiouchi, county roads that are in need of repair, such as Douglas Park, Low Divide, and Smith River residents are concerned about the groundwater, folks don’t feel safe drinking it. A local supermarket is needed there, affordable housing and apartments.

All three areas are also lacking law enforcement presence.

5. How can Del Norte County become a place where young people want to remain, to raise a family, to start a career, and become a vital part of this community? What will you do to bring about these changes?

Close to 80 percent of our high school graduates currently stay in Del Norte.

However, graduates often lack the skills to join the workforce. Investment in more career technical education, economic development and the creation of living wage jobs in Del Norte County is top priority.

Legacy monies are unsustainable. Bring in revenue to support the services of the county to keep taxes to a minimum, and invest in activities, vocations, and challenges that will hold young peoples’ attention. We must work with stakeholders, investors, financial planners, and community developers to grow this community in positive ways, without destroying the resources and assets that make this county a desirable destination community.

Del Norte County first and foremost needs to become a place where folks feel safe, where they can start a business and not have to worry if it is going to be vandalized. A place where folks can raise a family and see a bright future for their kids. That only comes with cleaning up our streets and mitigating the homeless population that continue to commit criminal activities and create substance abuse encampments.

6. Should Del Norte County impose additional controls and fees on shortterm rentals? Should short-term rentals be confined to commercial or multi-family zones, or to owner-occupied properties?

Del Norte imposes fees on short-term rentals, by law, called transient occupancy tax (TOT) which generates revenue for the county and is enforced by the Tax Collector. We have private property rights, so if a homeowner has a good property for a VRBO, the property owner should be allowed that option.

Yes. Backyards were not intended to be commercially viable. Most backyards do not posses the facilities and utilities to support commercial traffic. Property with wells and septic tanks within Community Service Districts are not built to sustain such activity. At the very least, the CSDs should require commercial infrastructure hookups, taxes and fees. ADU’s were inended as family assistance dwellings, not as a commercial income stream.

No, I own a vacation rental and it generates TOT for our tax base. What needs to be addressed is building more housing, duplexes, triplexes, apartments and ADUs.

7. Should Del Norte County turn down state and federal grants with strings attached that dictate how local government must solve local problems? Under what circumstances should Del Norte County confront problems without outside funding?

All grants have strings attached, whether they are State or Federal. Del Norte County does not often have the option of turning down funds that support areas of vital need. However, the Board of Supervisors chooses which grants to apply for based on criteria that fits the County’s goals and needs.

YES! Counties have long been left without assistance to resolve matters within the county. No burden, however small, originating by any other entity outside the county, to include commercial, State or otherwise, should be allowed without full financial and logistical support provided by said entity, as long as that burden exists.

The Legacy motel is a perfect example of no funding after three years. Del Norte county should have turned down the grant or at least dictated how and where we should have used that grant. We should pay closer attention to what our future obligations will be, and whether we can afford it, and not put an additional burden on our general funds.

8. Should the Measure R sales tax increase be repealed? Why or why not?

No. Measure R tackled some of the toughest issues facing the County’s constrained budget, blight, public safety, animal control, response to natural disaster and roads. The one thing I heard clearly from constituents was to find a way to fund budget shortfalls for these important County services.

Yes. The recall of Measure R vote was lawfully requested by the people. The Board of Supervisors serve at the will of the people, and should not act in contravention of the people, regardless of how noble the Board professes to be. This is why the critical operations of the county are not sustainable by taxation alone, especially with record inflation and taxation.

No, I believe that the sheriff’s department, probation department, code enforcement, and animal control are all in desperate need of funding. Now, how we got here is a matter of the Board of Supervisors’ lack of communication with the department heads, which is something I will be very diligent in improving.

9. Briefly explain, Why are you the best candidate for a seat on the Board of Supervisors representing your district?

I believe my commitment, understanding and relationships on local, state and federal issues will bring decisive leadership to our Board. I’ve served our community in multiple capacities for 25 years and I’ll continue to find solutions, build consensus and represent District 3 and our entire County.

The last eight years have shown that the Sheriff’s Office is in crisis, the schools define the word blight, the Harbor has drained monies and run off local family businesses, large sums of monies are unaccounted for, County employees have an unfunded retirement, people are tired of being misled, all under the current Board of Supervisors. The current Board of Supervisors allows the Governor to dictate failed policies and pet projects without financial and logistical support, which will continue to cripple this County.

Del Norte County is a special place, a gem in the rough, and for far too long we find reason why not to move forward, call it the good old boys club, or afraid of making hard decisions. I, for one, am not afraid of making those decisions that will be controversial and rattle the “it’s alway been done this way” mentality. I have the experience, work ethics and true grit to make that happen, together and with your help. I’m approachable and know how to motivate folks.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

County Supervisor, District 4 Questions for Supervisorial Candidates 1. How should the homeless crisis be addressed? Should Del Norte County buy more motels to convert to homeless shelters?

2. What can be done to improve morale within the Sheriff’s department? How can the Sheriff’s department more effectively recruit, hire and retain experienced deputies?

3. What can be done to avoid the “catch and release” back into the community of criminal defendants before their matters are resolved by the courts?

Should the 48-bed Juvenile Hall – with only one or two persons in custody – be repurposed as an adult facility?

4. What is the most pressing problem in your supervisorial district? What do you propose as a solution?

5. How can Del Norte County become a place where young people want to remain, to raise a family, to start a career, and become a vital part of this community? What will you do to bring about these changes?

6. Should Del Norte County impose additional controls and fees on short-term rentals?

Should short-term rentals be confined to commercial or multi-family zones, or to owner-occupied properties?

7. Should Del Norte County turn down state and federal grants with strings attached that dictate how local government must solve local problems?

Under what circumstances should Del Norte County confront problems without outside funding?

8. Should the Measure R sales tax increase be repealed?

Why or why not?

9. Briefly explain, Why are you the best candidate for a seat on the Board of Supervisors representing your district?

Brian Stone

1 - Motel conversion is just one tool to address the homeless crises. The complexity of this issue involves an understanding of why people became homeless, mental illness, drug addiction, reasons for job loss, housing markets, and the tools to deal with this crisis. This question cannot be answered in 50 words or less as requested by the editor.

2 - The Sheriff is responsible for the leadership of the department. Proper leadership will ultimately improve morale. The Supervisors are responsible for the department budget. Without proper funding, this department will remain a training facility for other departments outside of our area. We need to pay a good living wage to our officers.

3 - The answer lies with the District Attorney, the court system, and the lack of a proper county jail. The “catch and release” is due to the lack of available space in the jail.

We need a new jail. Funding is available from the Federal Infrastructure Act of 2021 to help us pay for it. Can Juvenile Hall be legally converted for this purpose? When the facility was constructed, did the language in the state or federal grant funds restrict the use of the facility?

If the facility can be used for a different purpose, then use it.

4 - Housing is the most pressing problem. Many properties lie within the “Tsunami Flood Zone” and cannot be built on.

Also, there are restrictions on septic systems due to high ground water. The County needs to invest in a sewer system for county residents. This can be built using grant funding from the Federal Infrastructure Act of 2021.

5 - Bring good paying jobs to our community. An example is the Federal and State initiatives to bring Offshore Wind Power to our region. This industry will bring approximately 7,000 new jobs to Del Norte and Humboldt counties in the next five to eight years. We can expand our harbor without disruption to the fishing fleet.

6 - The Board of Supervisors will ultimately make that decision. I know the county needs to hire additional Code Enforcement Officers who can identify all operational AirBnb’s. Then a determination must be made to see if the housing stock has been affected. Then the Board should act accordingly.

7 - It depends on the “strings” attached. The Supervisors will assess what the funds are for and weigh it against the restraints.

Until we can fund the county government without help from outside sources, we must take the grant funds for specific projects. Question: Do we refuse funding because of a political agenda?

8 - No. We need to pay the Sheriff’s staff a livable wage and hire Code Enforcement Officers.

The voters just passed Measure R and there are provisions for a public oversight committee. If the Committee determines that there is a problem, then we the citizens can repeal Measure R in the future.

9 - I am the only candidate with the qualifications and experience to do the job. When I became a Harbor Commissioner, the harbor was on the brink of bankruptcy. Due to my hard work, the Harbor now has a positive cashflow of $ 1.3 million per year (less depreciation.)

My governmental and business experience was applied to fix the problems.

Joey Borges

Patty Adams

1 - I don’t think buying more hotels is the answer. We need to work towards building more homes and creating more jobs to give people willing to work the opportunity to be successful.

1 - I believe that the homeless need to have a comprehensive program: housing paired with mental health assistance/medication, if needed, and a sober program for any substance abuse issues.

2 - After talking with multiple current and ex Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office employees, the common response from everyone was accountability. The morale would be greatly improved if everyone was held to the same standard and a strict chain of command was enforced. Simply by enforcing chain of command and accountability the entire atmosphere would improve, thus drawing new people in and keeping the quality current employees.

2 - In part this will be much improved with the return to normalcy with an established professional like Garrett Scott. I also feel that there should be an audit for current procedures, the recent incident with the prison cell highlighted a lack of consistency. We need to recruit at each academy to emphasize the area that we live in and our ability to offer an excellent work-life balance. Also it would be helpful if we were able to have contracts that new hires are required to sign for a designated number of years of service, with repercussions if they left prior to contract end (i.e. if a signing bonus was offered they could potentially lose/repay that bonus if they left sooner).

3 - The current jail is not being utilized at full capacity due to staffing issues. When staffing issues are resolved the Sheriffs Department will be able to house appropriate individuals pending the resolution of their case.

4 - A large portion of our lands are state owned, and we need to ensure the public has access to our lands. The State needs to be held accountable to maintain these properties, and in the removal of blighted homes.

Furthermore, the State must pay Del Norte County the $700,000 it owes for taking property off the tax roll.

5 - Del Norte County is beautiful place and offers a wonderful place to raise a family.

By working hand-in-hand with our major agencies such as the Sheriff’s Office, school districts and City of Crescent City, we can address any issues that would deter our youth from not wanting to be here.

6 - Short term rentals should be required to have the same fees as others short term rentals, and be required to follow guidelines set in place to ensure the quality of life of the people surrounding short term rentals

7 - Federal grants are a lot of times very short-termed, meaning we receive a large chunk of money to start a project, then we are left holding the bag trying to fund and maintain a project we could have never afforded in the first place. So no, I’m not in favor of strings attached.

8 - I am not in favor of increasing taxes. I believe our public safety issues should be addressed, but it should be found within our budget.

9 - I have kids active in this county, a business here, and have been heavily involved in this community my whole life.

I have a strong work ethic and am not afraid to make tough decisions. I love Del Norte County and want to see it become a place our children want to call home.

3 - There should be a cumulative record of offenses so that it can be tallied up to the $950 felony limit, so that there are effects to habitual offenders. I think the Juvenile Hall option should be explored, also the level 1 section of Pelican Bay. 4 - Roads and housing are the most pressing problems in District 4. I would like to establish a hotline or app to capture the public’s concerns and respond. I was told by a current Board of Supervisors that there is set-aside funding that can go for pothole repairs or repairs to private roads, but no one has requested this solution. Regarding housing, the crisis that we are in was not created in a very short term and the solution will also take some time. We need to streamline our entitlement process for prospective builders and developers, and make sure that our staff has a vision of saying yes rather than roadblocks for progress. Perhaps a pairing of public and private resources will aid in the development of housing.

5 - I have mentioned my goals for increased housing, the availability of homes/apartments will help alleviate “where” our young people can live. Also, I would like to increase our economic health. One suggestion I have is to establish a vocational school (trade school).

This school could be established in as little as two years with the assistance of trade unions that are eager for young apprentices.

6 - No, Del Norte County should not establish any additional controls or fees for short-term rentals – we already pay enough fees and taxes.

These short-term vacation rentals are a boon to our local economy via the 10 percent TOT. I do not agree with any increase in rules or requirements for short-term rentals.

7 - We need to scrutinize what the “strings” are that might be a requirement. We have enough governmental controls and should not adopt more. The outside funding that doesn’t address our issues and requires exorbitant controls would be unacceptable.

8 - No, the voters voted this measure in and it is providing a much needed influx of funding that we would not be able to generate otherwise. Also with the funding that has been promised, employees have been hired, equipment purchased, etc. If this measure was repealed, how would we be able to pay the new employees or replace outdated infrastructure?

9 - I have a unique skill set that would greatly benefit Del Norte County, being local but also having earned an education and experience working for Fortune 500 companies. Working for these large companies provided additional training, negotiations for multi million contracts, working with teams to solve issues, as well as extensive travel domestically. I was able to see how other communities solved housing shortages for first responders in San Francisco/Silicon Valley. I am a local realtor (David Finigan Real Estate) with knowledge of the dynamics of our local housing market.

I have a methodical process that I utilize, researching a subject or issue and questioning the status quo.

I would ask “why” something was established and what the process was to reach a decision. My goal is to increase our local economy and alleviate the housing shortage.

Margaret Sargent

1 - Homeless answers are unfolding in other counties. Having patience to see how these types of answers impact their communities and why. Placing homeless in the center of a community would only be beneficial if they were provided a community service for the benefits they are receiving. Wherever they are located, they deserve to become part of our community.

2 - I have no worries for our Sheriff’s Department. A non-politically motivated Sheriff will improve morale; that will be done when Sheriff Scott steps into office. Using resources allocated from Measure R to increase pay and benefits similar to corrections officer pay will definitely help support recruit, hire and retain deputies longer.

3 - Yes, The juvenile hall would definitely help expand our jail capacity, along with using the old CHP office, as well as Bar-O Boys’ Ranch. All of our juvenile offenders need to learn how to become functioning community members, by learning how to work with others.

4 - We are relying too heavily on local government, not on the families in our community. We have rich resources in volunteers, we just need more. Think, “what can I do to help support and rebuild my community with the skills I have?” JFK’s quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” is a very vital reminder of our duty to our county.

5 - Let’s build a community that works together to create positive bonds amongst community members. This will naturally evoke a place where young people want to remain.

Create food sustainability where all families choose to volunteer time; do community service projects as a family outing once a week, rather than being idle. Structure cultural bonding behaviors around base resources; start by involving kids’ emotions positively. A family that eats together, sticks together.

6 - Short-term vacation rentals should pay taxes/fees the same as hotels pay. People should do what they wish on their own property. Helping develop a healthy cultural structure in our community that will lead property owners to develop appropriately for common benefits of the structure.

7 - Careful case-by-case grant analysis should be considered.

Our physical and private properties in Del Norte County should never be put at risk of being held ransom by government funding, debt or grant requirements. We should protect ourselves, as well as invest in ourselves, by paying taxes to support our community, instead of grants.

8 - It’s never popular to pay taxes, but Measure R passed and should remain until we have time to see what positive impact it can have on our county. We must invest in our community positively, to see positive results.

9 - I’m not politically motivated. My goals consist of bringing the community together to promote self, sustainability of land and families, to achieve natural positive mental health supports and to develop a community culture.

Sincerely, Dear Friends and Neighbors, As your current County Harbor Commissioner, I would like to thank you for allowing me to serve you for the last 5 ½ years. When I was elected in 2016, I made a commitment to you and the community to turn the harbor’s financial situation around.

Through hard work and dedication, I have shown that by applying the correct policies, practices and procedures, a failing agency like the Harbor District could be saved from bankruptcy. With my suggestions and the implementation of good business practices the Harbor now has over $1,303,000 of new revenue per year. The increase in new revenue has kept the Harbor from increasing your taxes.

As I make my bid for the Fourth District Supervisorial seat, I am asking you for your support. My record shows that I have the ability and experience to be your next Supervisor. I am asking you to put my 23 years of governmental and 21 years of private sector work experience to work for you.

I am asking you for your vote on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.

Together we can make a difference!

Sincerely, Brian L. Stone, Candidate for Del Norte County Supervisor, District 4

A County that won’t fix its roads

is a county that suffers from

BAD LEADERSHIP Bad roads are a safety problem for: • • • •

Emergency Vehicles School Buses Overloaded Vehicles Bikes & Pedestrians

WE NEED • More Stop Signs to slow the traffic down near the residential area.

• Increase in funding for County Road Department to repair and maintain our vital roads.

5th District residents are tired of being treated like we live in a slum!

The County has FAILED to invest in this District, while all funding goes someplace else.

There needs to be action on the homeless population problem in District 5!

I will develop partnerships with the community to provide access to resources. And by doing this, our community can feel safe and secure, and improve LAW & ORDER in our area while we are battling these issues.

We can address the Cellular coverage issue, including Klamath.

I’m a lifelong resident of this District.

It’s time to have someone on the Board who shows that he cares about the people who live here!

This initiative would repeal that ordinance.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CIRCULATE INITIATIVE PETITION Notice is hereby given by the person whose name appears hereon of their intention to circulate the petition within Del Norte County for the purpose of submitting an initiative measure to a vote of the people.

TEXT OF INITIATIVE: A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: Voters of Del Norte County approved Measure R by less than 1%. This measure was placed on the November 3, 2020 ballot by the Board of Supervisors, establishing a 1% sales tax. 1. We’re already taxed to death. Our businesses can’t compete because Brookings, Or. has no sales tax. 2. We have learned from the $25 million school bond that Citizen Oversight Committees don’t work to protect the tax payer’s money. They merely rubber stamp. 3. Employees of the County have not voluntarily reduced their salaries during the Pandemic period while many others have lost their businesses, their homes and are struggling. Government is growing bigger with new hires.

4. In the past 3 years, Director Heidi Kunstal, Probation Officer Lonnie Reyman and DA Katie Micks got increases between $30,000 and $50,000 while already making over 6 figure income; all arguing to keep Measure R. The name of the proponent: /s/ Wesley I. Nunn.

THE PEOPLE OF DEL NORTE COUNTY DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: THE TEXT OF THE INITIATIVE MEASUREThe people of Del Norte County hereby ordain as follows: Measure R the 1% sales tax which was enacted as Ordinance No. 2020-013 on 4/1/21, is hereby repealed at the next general election.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-21-894087- AB Order No.: 02-21011630 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 1/31/2004. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): THOMAS DAN CONGER, JIMMIE CAROL ELLIS, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS Recorded: 2/11/2004 as Instrument No. 20040953 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California; Date of Sale: 6/8/2022 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Steps of the Southwest Entrance to the Flynn Administration Building, located at 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $61,854.54 The purported property address is: 230 BARKER STREET, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 115- 233-13 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee

sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800- 280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA21- 894087-AB. 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: 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 800-280- 2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA21-894087-AB 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 undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.

This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney.

If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

CDFW investigates possible Construction trades opportunities explained mountain lion attack A five-week pre-apprenticeship construction training program will take place from June 13 to July 14 in Eureka.

The class will help attendees better understand their options in a variety of trades like masonry, heavy equipment operations, plumbing, electrical and more. It will also help them prepare for the pre-apprenticeship interview and provide a math refresher.

There is no cost to attend and a minor daily pay incentive will be provided. Participants will earn their OSHA 10 card, first aid certificate, CPR card and pre-apprenticeship certificate. Women and minorities are encouraged to attend.

This program is sponsored by North State Builds, together with the Humboldt-Del Norte Building and Construction Trades, Smart Workforce Center, and NCCC Workforce Board.

For more information or to register for the class, visit www.northstatebuilds. com, or call the SMART Center in Del Norte County at 707-464-8347, or email jobhelp@thesmartcenter.biz.

A Construction Trades Success Story Cody Freitas was 22 before he decided to make the jump into the construction trades. Today he’s 30 and going into his ninth year as an operating engineer journeyman in the North State.

A McKinleyville High School graduate, Cody earned good grades and took all the offered Advanced Placement classes, but he knew early on that college wasn’t the right path for him. After graduation, he went straight to work, taking up various

jobs such as administrative work, working at the local dump, at a grocery store, and even as a finish carpenter at a local cabinet shop.

Cody was working as a commercial fisherman off and on when he applied for the apprenticeship program with Operating Engineer’s Local 3 (OE3). He missed his first opportunity to interview for the program, as he was in the middle of the ocean on a fishing expedition and received the voicemail 20 days later when he returned to land.

At the start of the next program year when they called again, he was ready and available. He headed to Rancho Murieta, California to take the SAGE test where he scored high enough to land an oral interview.

Cody credits being on time and prepared for getting through the oral interview and into the program.

Two candidates scheduled before him were bumped for showing up late and not having their paperwork, which landed Cody a spot in the fiveweek POP training course.

Not long after graduating from the course, he got the call for his first job.

As with most careers, he started at the bottom and worked his way up.

The work was hard and the hours were long, but he kept a positive attitude and always showed up to the job site on time and ready to work. This work ethic kept him at the top of the list for opportunities on the next jobs.

He worked various jobs with multiple companies throughout California and made it his mission to always build a good connection with his employer, which has paid off for him

over the past nine years.

Cody says he is thankful for getting his start in the trades through the union. It has helped him understand prevailing wage, how those positions work, and how to select the best jobs to be successful. “I’m proud of the fact that after only one year as an apprentice, I purchased my truck, and after only four years, I purchased my first home with a full 20 percent down payment. If you work hard consistently, you’ll get work,” Cody said.

He attributes his success to working with great companies who understood that as an apprentice he didn’t know everything but that he was eager and ready to learn.

Working in the union has given Cody some unique opportunities to assist local communities in crisis, such as the harbor restoration in Crescent City after the 2011 tsunami wiped out the harbor, and the Oroville Dam restoration after it failed in 2017.

He’s inspired by the work he does and is happy he found his calling.

“Though the work of the trades is often behind the scenes, the critical infrastructure that we build is everywhere – from the roads that you drive on to the buildings that you conduct business and live in, to the bridges that connect our state. Construction workers built all of it,” he said.

When asked if he had any advice for individuals considering a career in the trades, he responded, “Apprentices are a hot commodity in the trades. If you show up willing and ready to learn and work hard, you will go far. Companies appreciate good workers, there’s always a spot for a good worker.”

Wildlife officers from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) responded to a report of a mountain lion attack in Trinity County on May 16, 2022. The incident occurred approximately 3:00 p.m. along State Route 299 near Big Bar. A woman was driving on State Route 299 when she stopped beside the road near a picnic area and exited the vehicle with her dog. She began walking down a path with the dog slightly ahead of her. She noticed movement beside her as a mountain lion swiped her across her left shoulder, causing injury.

She screamed and her dog, a Belgian Malinois, immediately returned and engaged the mountain lion.

The mountain lion bit the dog’s head and would not let go. The woman attempted to throw rocks, tug and pull them apart, and even attempted to gouge the eyes out of the lion, to no

avail.

The woman went back up to the road and flagged down a passing vehicle. A passerby stopped, retrieved a can of pepper spray and sprayed the lion in the face with little to no effect. The mountain lion was attempting to move off the trail and drag the dog to a different location. The woman and the passerby eventually retrieved a piece of PVC pipe and began hitting the mountain lion with it until it finally released the dog.

The woman drove her dog straight to a veterinarian for emergency treatment.

The dog’s condition is guarded, and it is unknown if she will survive. The woman then drove herself to receive medical treatment in Redding. Her injuries consist of bite wounds, scratches, bruises and abrasions, but are nonlife threatening.

Wildlife officers have interviewed the victim,

the passerby, the veterinarian and the emergency medical physician, and have worked with each of them to collect appropriate samples for analysis. The samples were delivered to the CDFW Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in Sacramento and are being processed. Although DNA analysis from samples taken during the investigation are the most reliable way to conclusively prove an attack has occurred, initial evidence from the investigation is strong enough to allow wildlife officers to treat the investigation as a legitimate attack.

Those in the area should be aware that CDFW’s Law Enforcement Division is working with allied agency partners to trap the offending mountain lion and will further evaluate the situation if it is caught.

As a reminder, people should always be vigilant when recreating in mountain lion habitat.

Yurok asks state to change name of peak

By MATT MAIS Guest Article

The Yurok Tribal Council is petitioning the federal government to revise the exceedingly inflammatory name of a mountain peak within Yurok ancestral territory.

Located in the coastal mountains, the peak is currently called a vulgar name formerly associated with Native American women. The Tribe is asking the U.S. Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force to amend the name to pkwo’-o-lo’ ‘ue-merkw.

(Maple Peak).

In November of 2021, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland created a formal procedure to review and replace disparaging names of geographic

features.

The Secretary also ordered the Board on Geographic Names to remove the offensive term from the federal lexicon.

“This term is extremely offensive to every Native American in the United States, and it needs to be changed. Our people deserve to live in a world without racist place names,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe.

Chairman James is confident the federal government will approve the Tribe’s request to change the name to pkwo’-o-lo’ ‘ue-merkw. On behalf of the Yurok people, Chairman James thanked Secretary Haaland “for establishing a path to remove hateful place names

from the landscape and correct these longstanding injustices.”

On April 19, the Yurok Tribal Council passed a formal resolution regarding the peak name.

The derogatory slur has been used against Native people and is a type of colonial violence, states the resolution.

The Tribe’s proposal to replace the peak name is part of a national movement to remove racist place titles from public spaces.

Across the United States, numerous tribes are currently seeking to replace repugnant designations for geographic locations with tribal descriptors. The Yurok Tribe fully supports the tribal nations that are working to correct these historic violations.
