Arbitrator decides for Fashion Blacksmith Fashion Blacksmith lawsuit decision filed in Superior Court

By ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate Fashion Blacksmith, Inc. boat service and vessel repair, through its attorney George Mavris filed an arbitration decision in favor of Fashion Blacksmith, last Wednesday.

The plaintiff released the following statement: Fashion Blacksmith,Inc. is Crescent City Harbor District’s longest standing tenant. Fashion has been operating under a Lease Agreement with CCHD since January 1, 1980. Under the original lease, Fashion was to provide boat repair services to the local fishing fleet and CCHD was to maintain the exterior and roof of the FBI boat repair shop.

Over the years the lease was renewed multiple times. One such renewal added language which required that the CCHD dredge the area underneath Fashion’s mechanical boat lift (known as a Syncrolift), so Fashion could haul and launch boats. Without dredging, the synocrolift, which is essentially a large elevator, could not attain its depth design which greatly restricts Fashion’s ability to haul and launch larger

Take a long, last, lingering look at Crescent City’s most infamous eyesore. After a prolonged rainy season, court receiver Richardson Griswold law firm will begin demolishing arguably the city’s most notorious nuisance property, this week.

Over the next three months, the goal of the city and receiver Griswold is to abate this blight. 200 A St will be a 1.5 acre soon-to-be vacant lot.

Late last year, the city declared the former medical office building a health nuisance, a magnet attracting homelessness, criminal activity, drug abuse and unsanitary lifestyle, unacceptable in any neighborhood and especially in the pristine, visitor-welcoming coastal location by the Oceanfront Lodge and surrounding upscale homes.

Four years back, Lawnchair investments acquired the property in hopes of developing high-end condominiums.

The investor failed to move forward on razing the building and was soon in violation of California Health Code.

Ultimately, the city declared the property a nuisance, went to court and sought relief in having Griswold law as the court receiver.

The history of this building dates to the 1930s. Union Please see NUISANCE, Page A4

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service invites the public to open houses on potential sea otter recovery efforts not a potential reintroduction is proposed, as well as ensuring that proposals are crafted in a way that benefits stakeholders and local communities.

The Service aims to be inclusive, thoughtful, and scientifically sound as we consider actions to support sea otters, local communities and ecosystem recovery, now and in the future.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will host 16 public open houses with communities in Northern California and Oregon this June to gather input on the potential reintroduction of sea otters to their historical range.

The open houses will provide communities and stakeholders an opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives and speak with Service staff about sea otters and next steps in recovery efforts including the potential reintroduction process – should a proposal move forward.

The southern sea otter, one of three subspecies of sea otter, is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. As directed

by Congress, the Service assessed reintroduction feasibility in 2022. The assessment concluded that reintroduction was biologically feasible and may have significant benefits for a variety of species in the marine ecosystem and expedite the recovery of the threatened southern sea otter.

The assessment also concluded that additional information about how reintroduction would affect stakeholders and local communities was needed before considering the next steps. There is no active proposal to reintroduce sea otters at this time.

The open houses will help the Service gather further information to inform next steps. As the Service considers the possibility of reintroduction, we recognize that community values and issues are critical in this process. Input from the public and key stakeholders, including ocean users, will be a foundational component in establishing next steps including whether or

boats.

During the nearly four decades following the initial Lease, Fashion’s reputation for excellence in the boating field extended well beyond the Harbor. In fact, Fashion’s work has been featured in multiple national boating magazines, which, in turn, lured boats from all over the United States to the Crescent City Harbor to be worked on by Fashion. The positive notoriety has placed our harbor in a favorable light and has been a revenue generator for the harbor and broader local economy during the term of the Lease.

Unfortunately, commencing after the lease was renewed in 2015, the harbor engaged in a pattern of conduct apparently designed to frustrate Fashion’s ability to remain a viable entity. First, the Harbor allowed critical dredging permits to lapse.

Additionally, the harbor allowed the boat repair building to fall into disrepair and ignored Fashion’s multiple pleas for dredging under the syncrolift.

Even more egregiously, in 2020, CCHD claimed that Fashion failed to exercise its option to renew its lease and took the position that Fashion would need to negotiate an entirely new lease if it wished to stay.

award requires the harbor to pay $1,298,545 in damages to Fashion, refund, $87,780.54 in rent, pay $306,600 in attorney fees to Mavris and $112,325 to Van Hook as well as reimbursing $134,927.03 in litigation costs. Until paid, the award will continue to accrue at seven percent interest per the panel ‘s ruling.

All in, CCHD must pay, $1,950,886.13 which includes the seven percent interest.

However, not only did the panel award almost two million in up- front damages, the panel also required the CCHD repair the Fashion building by September 15, 2023 and dredge to design depth

by October 31. 2023. To add teeth to its ruling, the panel indicated that should the Harbor fail to accomplish these tasks by dates set forth in the ruling, the panel would consider further damages against the Harbor, including punitive damages.

Fashion Blacksmith, Inc, sincerely hopes the Crescent City Harbor District respects the ruling of the arbitration panel and promptly complies with its terms.

This concludes The Fashion Blacksmith statement.

The Triplicate reached out to the CCHD for a comment. Harbormaster Tim Petrick released the following statement: “CCHD is analyzing its options and working to find a solution to these issues.”

meetings only called for in their lease renewal letter that they claimed they did not receive, CCHD had to concede that Fashion had, indeed, renewed their lease which can be renewed through 2035.

Failing at its attempts to force Fashion out but still refusing to undertake the clear obligations to fix the building and dredge to design depth, Fashion was compelled to take legal action to enforce its rights under the lease.

Rather than conceding the clear contractual obligations, CCHD took on an aggressive posture hiring two large Los Angeles law firms attempting to legally bully Fashion into submission.

Indeed, internal text messages revealed the CEO (Harbormaster Tim Petrick) and his assistant boasting about, “the full weight of the harbor on Fashion so they could watch Ted (Ted Long Fashion CEO) cry.”

Unfortunately for the harbor, neither the full weight of its two law firms (Cruiser Mitchell and Best Best and Kreiger) including the four full time attorneys they had at the local arbitration hearing, nor the seven “hired gun” experts were enough to overcome the opposition and its local team consisting of George Mavris and Chris Van Hook.

Following four days of arbitration, the panel ruled resoundingly in favor of Fashion Blacksmith.

The Knapp hospital was renamed Seaside Hospital.

Knapp passed away in 1945.

The hospital slowly deteriorated and in 1992, the hospital building was leveled and replaced with

the Oceanfront Lodge.

Meanwhile, the adjoining medical office at 200 A Street remained and slowly ebbed toward nuisance status.

All efforts to abate this eyesore were unsuccessful, until present day.

Take a long, last view of this eyesore. Alas, it’s finally coming down.

A Word, Please: IN MY VIEW Where Does Our Water Go? The Oxford comma

By June Casagrande “We don’t ban the Oxford comma.”

That was the subject line of an email the Associated Press Stylebook editors recently sent to subscribers.

To anyone who’s been on the frontlines of the comma wars, the message seemed like an olive branch — or possibly a white flag.

Not familiar with the Oxford comma controversy? It’s a tempest in a teapot — a trumped-up battle between people who eschew an optional comma, called the Oxford or serial comma, and the devotees of this little punctuation mark.

The Oxford comma, or serial comma, comes before the conjunction in a list of three or more things.

If you write, “The flag is red, white, and blue,” you’re using an Oxford comma.

If you write, “The flag is red, white and blue,” you’re not. Either way, you’re using correct punctuation because this comma is optional.

The publishing world’s two major style guides take different positions on whether editors should use this comma. The Chicago Manual of Style, followed by many book and magazine publishers, is in favor.

“When a conjunction joins the last two elements in a series of three or more, a comma — known as the serial or series comma or the Oxford comma — should appear before the conjunction,” says the Chicago manual’s 17th edition, adding for emphasis: “Chicago strongly recommends this widely practiced usage.”

AP is mostly opposed.

“Use commas to separate elements in a series, but do not put a comma before the conjunction in most simple series,” the stylebook advises.

But unlike Chicago, AP editors don’t use the next sentence to strenuously underscore their point.

Instead, AP emphasizes

that the rule is flexible.

“Include a final comma in a simple series if omitting it could make the meaning unclear.” Dig a little deeper into the Chicago manual and you see they make exceptions, too, albeit reluctantly.

So AP and Chicago — the most influential voices on the Oxford comma — are de facto leaders of opposing camps. Oxford comma enthusiasts, then, could see AP as the enemy, which could put AP on the defensive, which in turn could inspire an email like the one I got in my in-box this month.

Just a theory.

AP gave an example in which the Oxford comma makes sense of an otherwise confusing sentence: “‘The governor convened his most trusted advisers, economist Olivia Schneider, and polling expert Carlton Torres.’ (If the governor is convening unidentified advisers plus Schneider and Torres, the final comma is needed.)”

If you meant instead that the trusted advisers were none other than Schneider and Torres, no comma goes before the conjunction, AP notes: “The governor convened his most trusted advisers, economist Olivia Schneider and polling expert Carlton Torres.”

AP missed an opportunity here. They should have given an example with “adviser” in the singular instead of the plural: “The governor convened his most trusted adviser, economist Olivia Schneider, and polling expert Carlton Torres.”

Obviously, sometimes it’s better to just rewrite the sentence. But when you can’t, knee-jerk comma partisanship is not the remedy. Sometimes the Oxford comma helps, sometimes it hurts.

Consistency counts, too.

So pick your default preference — yes or no on the Oxford comma — then be prepared to make exceptions whenever it could help your reader.

On a recent trip to Los Angeles, I drove along the California Aqueduct, a huge canal flowing south.

At the bottom of the San Joaquin Valley the water was sucked up by gigantic pipes for delivery over the mountains to southern California cities.

This made me curious to know, where does our water go and where does it come from? I found there are five major water projects that deliver water across California.

San Joaquin Valley Driving up Highway 5, I paid attention to the agricultural areas that are kept alive by imported water.

Millions of acres of nuts, fruits, vegetables, grass, grain, and cotton depend on water delivered south through the California Aqueduct. These farmers will fight for this water.

I saw a homemade billboard that one farmer put next to the highway that said, “Build More dams.

STOP manmade droughts.”

I think they are blaming “government” for the water shortage, but this is not fair. There is simply not enough water to go around.

Then it occurred to me that this could have been posted by a climate activist. “STOP manmade droughts!” There is enough scientific evidence to show that climate change is the direct result of human activities. Factually speaking, we are experiencing “manmade droughts” as the planet gets hotter.

Farmers Gamble The large farms in the San Joaquin Valley gamble that the “government” will continue to provide unrestricted water. They have chosen to farm in a virtual desert based on past reliable water deliveries.

But there is competition for this limited supply and future water deliveries may be reduced.

Historically there was a large lake in the San Joaquin Valley. According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle

(6/6/23), “Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi. During wet years it stretched 800 square miles or more.” Imagine a lake two thirds the size of Del Norte County.

This lake started to dry up in the late 1800’s as water was diverted from the rivers that filled it.

With the heavy snow and rain this winter, Tulare Lake has begun to fill again. Unfortunately, many residents and farms located in the old lakebed have been flooded.

Who Moves It? The California Aqueduct is part of the State Water Project operated by the California Department of Water Resources. This project siphons water from the Sacramento River which causes a perpetual conflict between retaining water for a healthy ecosystem and pushing more water south.

There is a growing demand for a finite quantity of water. Salmon populations require a strong flow of cool fresh water. Vast rice farms rely on the river to flood their fields. In the north, this water irrigates hay fields and waters cattle.

The source of the water that serves all these uses before ultimately arriving in Los Angeles starts in the watershed north of Lake Shasta, more than 650 miles away.

The US Bureau of Reclamation manages the Central Valley Project (CVP), a complex, multi-purpose network of 20 dams and reservoirs, including Shasta Dam, hydroelectric powerplants, canals and other facilities extending 400 miles through central California. CVP conveys water in the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Tulare basins.

The second largest CVP reservoir is Trinity Lake, impounded behind a dam near the Trinity River headwaters. From this reservoir, water is diverted east to the Sacramento

River watershed. This project affects Del Norte directly. This is water that could have contributed to the healthy flow of the Klamath River.

Dam It! Building more dams is an unrealistic solution.

Dams are very expensive to develop, and a dam has no value if there is not enough water to fill the reservoir. California already has a lot of dams. The water storage and conveyance system that California has assembled is an engineering marvel, but some of these projects could never be constructed now.

Putting a dam today in the Hetch Hetchy Valley would be impossible.

The O’Shaughnessy Dam was completed in 1923, creating the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Since 1934 this has provided water to San Francisco. There were objections to sacrificing a wilderness area in Yosemite, but in the end, this dam was built. Hetch Hetchy now provides water to 2.7 million people who will fight to keep it.

It is a remarkable feat to move water from the Tuolumne River in the Sierras through the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct hundreds of miles across the state to the coast.

What is more impressive is that we have the Smith River, the only major undammed free flowing river left in California. This water is ours to defend.

Just Take It As Los Angeles grew, they looked north for more water and found Owens Valley. The City of Los Angeles then purchased property and water rights along the Owens River upstream from Owens Lake.

In 1913, the Los Angeles Aqueduct began delivering water from the Owens River to Los Angeles. This water conveyance system is owned and operated by

Kevin Hendrick the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

As a result of this water diversion, Owens Valley is no longer a viable farming community. This is a water right causing a water wrong.

Take More Needing still more water, Los Angeles promoted the Colorado River Aqueduct which opened in 1939 and is operated by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. This project moves water from the Colorado River at Lake Havasu through a series of canals and tunnels straight west to Los Angeles County.

Competing Colorado River water rights are held

by Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. There is not enough for everyone, and they will fight to get what they can.

Fun fact: So much water is taken from the Colorado River that it no longer reaches the ocean.

Water Rights All these water developments were mostly legal, based on asserted water rights. With dwindling supplies of water there is a need to review and renegotiate water rights. It looks like the State of California is about to do this. This is a complicated subject, which I will research and report on in a future column.

Mountains in wilderness don’t need hardware

By Dana Johnson We humans want the most out of life, so why shouldn’t we push to get more of what we want?

That’s what some rock climbers must be thinking.

They want to enter designated Wilderness in order to drill permanent anchors into wilderness rock faces, turning these wild places into sport-climbing walls.

When the Wilderness Act became law in 1964, it put wildlife and wild lands first, decreeing that these special places should be left alone as much as possible. This unusual approach codified humility, arguing that some wild places, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, needed as much protection as possible.

So far, the Act protects less than 3% of what Congress called “untrammeled” public land in the Lower 48. These are

unique places free of roads and vehicles and most manmade intrusions that afflict the rest of America.

The Wilderness Act also prohibits “installations,” but to get around this, a group called the Access Fund has persuaded friends in Congress to introduce a bill that would, in effect, amend the Wilderness Act. Introduced by Rep. John Curtis, a Republican from the anti-environmental delegation of Utah, and co-sponsored by Democrat Joe Neguse from Colorado, the “Protect America’s Rock Climbing Act” (PARC Act) has been promoted as bi-partisan.

Yet over 40 conservation groups, from small grassroots greens to large national organizations, have written Congress to oppose the bill. Wilderness is not about human convenience, they say, it’s about safeguarding the tiny

pockets of wild landscape we’ve allowed to remain.

The PARC Act directs federal agencies to recognize the legal use of fixed anchors in Wilderness, a backdoor approach to statutory amendment that even the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior oppose.

In a hearing on the bill, the Forest Service stated that “creating new definitions for allowable uses in wilderness areas, as (the PARC Act) would do, has the practical effect of amending the Wilderness Act. (It) could have serious and harmful consequences for the management of wilderness areas across the nation.”

Beyond the permanent visual evidence of human development, fixed anchors would attract more climbers looking for bolted routes and concentrate use in sensitive habitats. That

impact is harmful enough, but the bill also sends a loud message: Recreation interests are more important than preserving the small bit of Wilderness we have left.

What’s coming next is clear. Some mountain bikers, led by the Sustainable Trails Coalition, have introduced legislation to exempt mountain bikes from the prohibition on mechanized travel in Wilderness.

Then there are the trail runners who want exemptions from the ban on commercial trail racing. Drone pilots and hang-gliders also want their forms of aircraft exempted.

What’s confounding is that climbing is already allowed in Wilderness.

This bill is simply about using fixed bolts to climb as opposed to using removable protection. That’s apparently confusing to

some people.

An article in the Salt Lake Tribune went so far as to wrongly state that, “a ban on anchors would be tantamount to a ban on climbing in wilderness areas.”

But now, even some climbers are pushing back. The Montana writer George Ochenski, known for his decades of first ascents in Wilderness, calls the Tribune’s position “Total bullsh*t.” In an e-mail, he said bolting routes “bring ‘sport climbing’ into the wilderness when it belongs in the gym or on non-wilderness rocks.”

For decades, many climbers have advocated for a marriage of climbing and wilderness ethics. In Chouinard Equipment’s first catalog, Patagonia founder and legendary climber Yvon Chouinard called for an ethic of “clean climbing” that

comes from “the exercise of moral restraint and individual responsibility.”

We don’t like to think of recreation as consumptive, but it consumes the diminishing resource of space.

And protected space is in short supply as stressors on the natural world increase.

With every “user group” demand, the refuge for wild animals grows smaller. As someone who loves trail running, I understand the allure of wedding a love of wild places with the love of adventure and sport. But I’ve also come to see that the flip side of freedom is restraint.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE UNDER DEED OF TRUST TITLE ORDER NUMBER: 91225750 LOAN: MIMI FILE: PFI231834 A.P.N.: 120167-010-000 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 07/15/2021. 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. NOTICE is hereby given that PLACER FORECLOSURE, INC., as trustee, or successor trustee, or substituted trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by: KENNETH WITHERBY, A SINGLE MAN Recorded 07/27/2021 as Instrument No. 20213272 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 2/27/2023 in Book , Page , as Instrument No. 20230526 of said Official Records, WILL SELL on 06/29/2023 At the stairs of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn County Administration Building at 981 H St, Crescent City, CA 95531 at 11:00 AM AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States), all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 863 GLEEN STREET, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $151,147.93 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and

authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-231834.

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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-231834 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code sections 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the tax collector’s power to sell: All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years. Any property the tax collector has received a request to bring the property to the next scheduled tax sale from a person or entity that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against the property and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county, or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the conditions listed above and thus, will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2023, at 12:01 am, by operation of law. The tax collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at a tax sale. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the tax sale by the tax collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Barbara M. Lopez, Del Norte County Tax Collector, 981 H Street, Suite 150, Crescent City, CA 95531 or by calling (707) 464-7283. The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2023, is shown opposite the assessment number and next to the address of the assessment. PARCEL (ASSESSMENT) NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION. The Assessor’s assessment number, when used to describe property in this list, refers to the assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The assessor’s maps and further explanation of the assessment numbering system are available in the assessor’s office.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-19873283-AB Order No.: 8760492 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 11/21/2009. 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): JEREMY J. JACOBS AND JULIE JACOBS, HUSBNAD AND WIFE, AS JOINT TENANTS Recorded: 12/7/2009 as Instrument No. 20095330 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California; Date of Sale: 7/19/2023 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: $363,130.47 The purported property address is: 777 JACOBS LN, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531-5152 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 105-130-66 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: CA-19-873283AB. 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: CA-19-873283-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. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block.

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.

The project would be located on Lobster Creek in Curry County, OR, approximately 4 miles north of the Rogue River. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission.

Neptune Pumped Storage 2, LLC has proposed to construct: (1) an upper reservoir with a surface area of 50 acres and a storage volume of approximately 3,000 acre-feet created by a 5,600-foot-long, 70-foothigh rockfill embankment ring dike; (2) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 50 acres and a storage volume of approximately 3,000 acre-feet created by a 5,700-foot-long, 70-foothigh rockfill embankment ring dike; (3) a 1,825 footlong steel and concrete penstock with a diameter of 22-feet; (4) a 550-foot-long, 120-foot-wide concrete powerhouse/pump station located on the lower reservoir shoreline containing 6 generating/pumping units for a total generating capacity of 550 MW; (5) an approximate 13-mile, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from a proposed substation near the powerhouse to an existing substation on Nesika Beach Dump Rd that would interconnect to the regional transmission grid; (6) an approximately 1.7-milelong underground pipeline with a 100 cfs capacity and a diameter of 2.5-feet diverting water from Lobster Creek for initial fill and annual maintenance fill; and, (7) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would be operated as a closed-loop system and generate an estimated annual average of 1,606 gigawatt-hours.

Eureka’s Cultural Arts District Selects Artists for Logo Design Project After an exhaustive selection process involving more than 20 talented artists, the Eureka Cultural Arts District has selected two local designers to work on the creation of a logo and supporting basic style guide for the district.

The lead designer for the project is well-known local muralist Mir de Silva, who has made multiple contributions to the city’s lively public art scene through her participation in the annual Street Art Festival. Apprenticing with Mir on the logo project will be fellow Eureka resident Tori McConnell who, in addition to being an accomplished artist herself, was recently named Miss Indian World 2023.

“I am excited to be a part of a project that is reinvigorating community participation in local art,” says de Silva. “This will be a wonderful opportunity to work with another local artist and learn about their unique perspective.

I feel that art is central to the identity of the community of Eureka and I hope

together we can create something that reflects the unique nature of our local arts and cultures.”

McConnell will also be using experience and skills gained in this project to create imagery for the upcoming Festival of Dreams taking place within the Cultural Arts District in August 2023.

Adds Cultural Arts District lead Leslie Castellano: “We believe the combined efforts of these two artists will deliver a strong visual identity that can be used to market the district. We hope to unveil the finished design before the end of June.”

About the Artists Mir de Silva is an artist based in Eureka, California. Her work often depicts native flora and fauna experiencing human life. Mir graduated from Humboldt State University in 2020 with bachelor degrees in art education and studio art with an emphasis on large format painting. Her work is inspired by and created for

Tori McConnell, above, and Mir de Silva the community, and often includes youth and community members in the art making process.

Tori McConnell belongs to the Yurok and Káruk peoples and is an enrolled member of the Yurok Tribe.

She is a graduate of the Native American Studies program at UC Davis and was recently accepted into the graduate program in Community and Environment at Cal Poly Humboldt, where she’s planning a course of study on traditional tattooing techniques.

Huffman, others ask EPA to Tighten Air Quality Standards As millions of Americans confront heavy wildfire smoke, Representative Jared Huffman (D-Calif.-02) and U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)—as well as Representative Scott Peters (D-Calif.-50) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)—led 21 of their colleagues in sending a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) urging them to allow the deployment of prescribed fires as EPA tightens federal health-

based air quality standards.

The members are urging EPA to work closely with California’s air districts, land managers, and fire practitioners on developing a solution that both safeguards clean air and prevents the consistent cycle of devastating wildfires that undermines our efforts to make progress on clean air.

In January, EPA proposed to strengthen a key national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for

fine particle pollution, also known as PM 2.5, to better protect communities.

In the letter, the Members of the California delegation outline their strong support for EPA’s efforts to strengthen the NAAQS for PM 2.5 to ensure stronger public health protections, particularly for communities who are disproportionately affected by air pollution stemming from goods movement, catastrophic wildfires and more.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Yurok Tribe collects 500 square miles of lidar data The Yurok Tribe received a contract from U.S. Geological Survey - 3D Elevation Program to collect and process 320,000 acres of lidar data on biologically diverse forests and salmon-bearing streams in Yurok ancestral territory.

“This project will benefit the Tribe in many different ways. In addition to strengthening our sovereignty, the data we collected will enhance ongoing efforts to holistically manage our landscape, mitigate for climate change and create a prosperous tribal nation,” said Yurok Vice-Chairman Frankie Myers. “I would like to thank USGS, North Coast Resource Partnership and the California Natural Resources Agency for partnering with us on this project.”

USGS’s 3D Elevation Program, also known as 3DEP, is a nationwide effort to collect a baseline of consistent high-resolution topographic elevation data that can be used to inform critical decisions ranging from immediate safety of life, property, and environment to long term planning for infrastructure projects.

“USGS and the Yurok Tribe have a long history collaborating on data collection and analyses in the Klamath River watershed,” said Eric Reichard, USGS Southwest Regional Director. “The USGS greatly values this partnership, and this first-ever joint project in which the Yurok Tribe collects lidar data on their sovereign land is emblematic of the progress we have made together.”

The Yurok Tribes Fisheries Department and the Condor Aviation Enterprise Program captured the data via a fixed-wing aircraft equipped with high resolution remote sensing technology. The 500-squaremile project encompasses the Yurok Reservation and top half of Yurok ancestral territory in far Northern California. (see project map) This ecologically unique landscape includes the lower 44 miles of the Klamath River, the Yurok Tribe’s 15,000-acre Blue Creek Salmon Sanctuary and one of the few remaining old-growth redwood stands on earth. The processed lidar data will aid in the design of fish habitat restoration projects on the Klamath River, which is the lifeline of the Yurok people and one of the last wild salmon strongholds on the West Coast.

Additionally, the Tribe will integrate the precise geospatial information into the planning of much-needed housing, road and utility infrastructure projects on the reservation.

The Yurok Tribe’s Condor Aviation and Fisheries Department collect 320,000 acres of lidar data in Yurok ancestral territory, including the Lower Klamath River and its tributaries.

Geological Survey, North Coast Resource Partnership, California Natural Resources Agency and other stakeholders, the Yurok project is one component of a larger initiative to capture 17,000 square miles of lidar data in the Northern California. The Northern California Airborne Lidar Project aims to establish the foundational data required to prioritize critical investments in the following areas: community health and safety, natural resource management, environmental restoration, forest fuel load reduction, water quality and quantity, climate change resiliency and more. Across Northern California, tribal, federal and state land managers are implementing a series of interventions, such as prescribed burning and fish habitat construction projects, to rebuild salmon runs as well as make forests more resilient to climate change and less prone to catastrophic wildfire. The use of lidar data and its derivative products will increase the efficacy of these pivotal projects, while also minimizing cost.

Prior to the Northern California Airborne Lidar Project, the Yurok Fisheries Department and the Yurok Tribe Construction Corporation, in collaboration with state and federal agencies, had used lidar information collected by the Condor Aviation Program to bolster the design of highly successful, reachscale river restoration projects in the Klamath Basin.

Once the Northern California lidar project is complete, the USGS National Geospatial Program’s

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Forest Service Awards Nearly $20 Million in Community Wildfire Defense Grants Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service is investing $197 million towards 100 projects benefiting 22 states and seven Tribes, as part of the Community Wildfire Defense Grant program. Funded by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CWDG program was developed to assist at-risk communities with planning for and lowering wildfire risks on Tribal, state, and privately managed land.

The program comes at a time when the nation faces an ongoing wildfire crisis, and these grants support the Forest Service’s plan to confront the wildfire crisis across all lands.

Grant proposals underwent a competitive selection process that included review panels made up of state forestry agencies and Tribal representatives.

“Projects were selected using a collaborative, inclusive process that engaged tribes and state forestry agencies,” said Forest Service Chief Randy Moore. “All projects include at least two of the primary selection criteria mandated in the legislation.

And in all cases, these projects are taking critical steps to protect homes, property, businesses, and people’s lives from catastrophic wildfires.”

Of the 100 projects across 22 states and 7

tribes that were awarded in the initial round of funding under the Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program, this included 7 projects locally within the North Coast region, including several partners of the Six Rivers National Forest.

Grants awarded locally include: • Briceland Volunteer Fire Department, Fire Hazard Reduction Project $205,251 to create a Fire Hazard Reduction Crew, to conduct roadside clearance and improve fuel breaks along otherwise unmaintained roads, creating safer routes for emergency response and evacuation and reducing the chance of roadside ignitions.

• Del Norte Fire Safe Council, Del Norte Wildfire Resiliency Program $3,089,552 to create a Hazardous Fuels Reduction crew to perform defensible space work around residences and create shaded fuel breaks. This project will provide training, education, public outreach and implement a county-wide RX burn association with landowners to create Firewise communities.

• Humboldt County Resource Conservation District, Greater Willow Creek Wildfire Resilience Project $5,027,427 to implement a suite of area-wide outreach, education, and implementation actions as well as the implementation of 9 priority fuels reduction

projects encompassing 25 CWPP priority sites.

• Mattole Restoration Council, Prosper Ridge Community Wildfire Resilience Project $2,175,132 to hazardous fuels treatment on 450 acres of land bordering the King Range National Conservation Area. Various treatment methods will be used from prescribed treatment, mechanical and hand thinning.

• Resort Improvement District No.1, Shelter Cove Wildfire Resiliency & Community Defense Project $6,222,500 to provide outreach, coordination & Inspections services and conduct 1,211 acres of Hazardous fuels reduction work over a 5-year period.

• The Watershed Re-

search and Training Center, Hyampom Community Protection Project $1,322,666 to implement 450 acres of hazardous fuel reduction treatments in strategic and critical private land locations including manual thinning and chipping, hand piling, pile burning, prescribed fire.

• Yurok Tribe, Yurok Fire Department, CWPP Update $250,000 to create a Community Wildfire Protection Plan that identifies critical at-risk communities on the Yurok Indian Reservation. Prioritizing places that are “low income”, have “been impacted by a severe disaster”, or have “high or very high wildfire hazard potential,” as well as protecting sensitive

To mark World Oceans Day, Congressmen Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) and Mike Levin (D- San Juan Capistrano) announced they will introduce a package of legislation to permanently protect the West Coast and Arctic Ocean from the dangers of fossil fuel drilling. The package of legislation includes Rep. Huffman’s Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act and North Pacific Ocean Protection Act and Rep. Levin’s Southern California Coast and Ocean Protection Act. Fishing, tourism, and recreation along California’s coastline support nearly 600,000 jobs and roughly $42.3 billion in economy activity. More than 4 million gallons of oil have been released FREE FREE ESTIMATES! ESTIMATES!

into the Pacific Ocean as a result of the 1969 Santa Barbara blowout, the Refugio Beach spill of 2015, and other leaks from oil rig and pipeline activity, affecting more than 935 square miles of ocean.

“The risks of offshore drilling for our ocean-dependent economies and marine ecosystems are astronomical. The science and public opinion are clear: we must ramp up the transition to a clean energy future, and we can’t let ourselves get locked into decades of more dangerous fossil fuel drilling off our coasts,” said Rep. Huffman. “We’re using every tool to help coastal communities that are facing sea level rise, increase in severe storms, and other climate impacts. Our bills

go hand-in-hand with other necessary actions to reduce emissions and invest in renewable energy – all while reducing risks and making sure that our coasts are clean, safe, and available to everyone in America, not just a sacrificial lamb for the fossil fuel industry.”

“Southern California’s economy depends heavily on the vitality of its world-renowned beaches, cherished marine life, and ocean-dependent businesses that drive tourism and other activities. The ramifications of offshore drilling are too devastating to ignore, and I will always oppose oil companies’ efforts to exploit and damage our coastline.

Our bills put the California environment and coastal economy first. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Californians who want to protect our coastline.

Rep. Huffman and I look forward to moving these bills through the legislative process and building support,” said Rep. Levin.

The Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act would make the Arctic Ocean off-limits to any future drilling proposals by prohibiting any new or renewed leases for the exploration, development, or production of oil or natural gas in the Outer Continental Shelf.

The North Pacific Ocean Protection Act would prohibit the Department of the Interior from issuing a lease for the exploration, development, or production of oil or natural gas in specified areas of the Outer Continental Shelf ensuring a sustainable future for coastal communities and the millions of jobs and billions of dollars in wages that depend on healthy oceans and coasts.

said Homer Wilkes, Under Secretary for Natural Resources. “These initial investments address wildfire risks on state, private and tribal land, and contribute to the ongoing work under the agency’s Wildfire Crisis Strategy.”

The Six Rivers National Forest would like to congratulate everyone, including many of our own partners who received the first round of grant awards!

The Forest Service will announce another round of funding later in 2023.

The number of selected proposals in future rounds will depend on available funding. More information about funded proposals and announcements are available on the Community Wildfire Defense Grants website.

Finally, we recognize our river’s health correlates to our human health, correlates to all flora and fauna species health and our main food source, salmon, and sturgeon, as being secondarily benefited by increasing water yields and improving our fish health, habitats, and their lifespans.

“Drought, climate change, increasing development in the wildland urban interface combined with years of excluding natural fire from the ecosystem have led to year-round fire activity and increased the destruction and scale of wildfires,”

Gemma’s a large, slender female, around 2 years old. She is a bit shy when approached in her kennel, but is a playful and energetic sweetheart when she gets out. She is pretty easy on a leash for her size but needs training. She is unsure of other dogs in this environment and we are still testing her. We just know that she will blossom into a wonderful companion when she has a real home of her own.
