Deputies looking into suspicious death Knox Keranen The Triplicate

Local law enforcement is calling the death of a 29-year-old Crescent City woman, Tamera Sanders, suspicious after her body was discovered in a barn that burned down on May 2 near the Elk Valley Casino.

“It’s definitely still being treated as a suspicious death, and we are occasionally receiving information from the public.

We are investigating every tip

that we get,” said Undersheriff Randy Waltz.

According to Waltz, Sanders’ body was not discovered until the day after the fire, when a sheriff’s deputy was able to safely return to the barn at Howland Hill Road and Bertsch Avenue.

The deputy found Sanders’ body mostly intact, meaning it was not damaged by the flames.

Since then, the body has been handed over to a forensic pathologist for an autopsy. The autopsy report is not yet final,

but Waltz said Sanders’ body showed signs of smoke inhalation, and there were no obvious signs of foul play.

While the DNSO is investigating the suspicious death, CalFire was responsible for looking into the origin of the fire. Recently, CalFire completed their investigation, and handed their final report off to DNSO. Waltz said the CalFire report was inconclusive.

“The physical evidence of the fire’s cause, and the exact area

of origin are undetermined. They did not find evidence of arson,” said Waltz.

Darrel Benoit is a local advocate for the homeless in Del Norte. Benoit and others in the community knew Sanders by an alias, “Magica.” Benoit said he invited Sanders into his home in December of 2020, and allowed her to stay there for a couple of nights. He said he first noticed her wandering Please see SANDERS, Page A2

Katie Smith reads a book from the Wonder Bus library to her two-year-old daughter Willow Parker-Smith. “She loves to come here and play,” said Smith. “She loves buses, and she can look at books.”

The Wonder Bus is back Knox Keranen The Triplicate

Have you ever wondered about the Wonder Bus? The Wonder Bus is a colorfully decorated mobile library and resource center operated by the Del Norte Child Care Council for young children throughout the county. Beginning in 2001, Won-

der Bus programs have included story time, songs, crafts, game and toy lending — all in support of early literacy and school readiness. The Wonder Bus was put on hold during the pandemic but has shifted back into drive recently.

Families who utilize the resource are thankful for that.

Last Wednesday, Katie Smith and her 2-year-old daughter Willow

Parker-Smith were reading a book they checked out from the bus library. Outside the bus, workers with the DNCC had set up toys and bubbles for the children to play with and were offering a free read-along story time.

“She loves to come here and play,” said Smith. “She loves buses, and she can look at books.

Also, my 9-year-old son will

come and check out a book to take home.”

Smith said she and her children have been using the Wonder Bus for about 10 years.

Melodee Mitchell, executive director at DNCC, said the Wonder Bus has helped hundreds of kids during the past twenty years.

Sudden oak death a growing concern

Outbreak near Port Orford much larger than first thought

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate

Sudden oak death is nothing new to residents of Curry County, but despite decades of work to keep the pathogen that kills

tanoak trees isolated, it appears to be moving.

Earlier this year, a researcher with Oregon State University noticed tanoaks dying at a site on Highway 101 just north of Port Orford. When the trees were

tested, they came back positive for sudden oak death.

Since then, the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry and Oregon State University have been working to find other tanoak outbreaks in

With funds from the federal American Rescue Plan rolling into the county bank account, the Del Norte Board of Supervisors are trying to better their understanding of how the money can be used.

In May, the county received the first of two $2.7 million payments from the U.S. Treasury earmarked for COVID-19 recovery. In a presentation to the board of supervisors Monday, Greg Burns with the Thorn Run Partners lobbying firm explained the five, fairly broad categories local governments can use the money toward, which are: supporting the public health response, addressing negative economic impacts, providing bonuses to essential workers, investing in water and sewer and investing in broadband.

During the presentation, Burns highlighted a few items the board might be interested in using the funds toward, such as upgrading the aging county jail.

“There are some opportunities to potentially use this funding to help improve the situation for you all locally in the jail,” said Burns.

According to the presentation, the county must dedicate the ARP funds by 2024, and all of the funds must be spent by 2026. A total of $130 billion was given to local governments through the rescue plan.

During the presentation, Burns said the county would not likely be able to use the $5.7 million in ARP funds to recoup its losses from decreased tourism throughout the pandemic, which it would have normally garnered through transient occupancy taxes.

Transient occupancy taxes allow local governments to take a cut from hotel, motel and other lodging sales. Del Norte County currently has a 10% transient occupancy tax. Burns explained the county had not lost enough revenue from decreased tourism to be eligible to recoup lost TOT funds.

Supervisor Chris Howard took issue with this point.

“Even though our TOT was up for a 12-month period, during our second quarter: April, May, June, we had no income for those periods of Please see ARP, Page A2

“The Wonder Bus is this big, beautiful attraction for children and families.

Once you’re exposed to the Wonder Bus, you really get wrapped around literacy and school-ready projects,” said Mitchell.

Mitchell said the primary goal of the Wonder Bus is to reach kids in the outlying communities, such as Smith River, Gasquet and Klamath, who don’t have equal access to books, or the other resources the bus offers. On the bus, kids and parents can also get help signing up for library cards and early learning programs, such as Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and First 5’s Ready For K Texting program.

Nevertheless, the bus has had an uncertain future at times due to a lack of consistent funding.

For two years, the bus was parked. It needed repairs and its maintenance fund had dried up.

However, through community support, the bus was repaired and was able to get back on the road in Photos by Knox Keranen September of 2019.

$3.3 million in COVID grants distributed by Humboldt Area Foundations and Wild Rivers Community Foundation Generous funders of Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation have given more than $3.3 million as of July 2020, most of which has been shared with nonprofits in four counties assisting the most vulnerable people hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the same time, the overwhelming support and impact of the funds, and the cooperation among community partners, has inspired HAF and WRCF to create a new, shared vision focused on an inclusive and prosperous future for Curry, Del Norte, Humboldt and Trinity counties.

“When the foundation created the COVID-19 Regional Response Fund in March 2020, our immediate goal was to ensure the health and safety of everyone in our region. It was a community effort and we are grateful for the tremendous financial support from our many donors and funders,” said Gina Zottola, HAF’s vice president of Advancement & Philanthropic Innovation.

“During the work, several themes around wellbeing, racial equity and the economy came into sharper focus,” Zottola said. “We also learned two things: Our amazing local nonprofits are in the best position to address these issues, but often needed help with funding and capacity. For our foundation to truly support those nonprofits we needed to create a cohesive, long-term strategy.”

That new, strategic vision is a road map that will guide how the foundations invest and collaborate across the region. The vision focuses on specific decades-long goals of racial equity, thriving youth and families, healthy ecosystems and environment, and just economy and economic development. Learn more about the strategic vision online at hafoundation.org/ strategy. $3 Million-plus in COVID-19 Community Response Grants Since pandemic

lockdowns began in March, 2020, HAF and WRCF awarded more than 230 Covid-19 response grants ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 to nonprofits within a 10,000-square-mile service area. The grants supported critical needs including food insecurity, technology access, health care access, racial equity and housing needs.

The first grants to go out in April, 2020, totaling nearly $200,000, went to 18 organization across all four counties. Recipients included United Indian Health Services, Del Norte Mission Possible, Gold

Beach Senior Center, the Eureka Rescue Mission, and Trinity Community Food Outreach. The most recent grants, awarded in May and June, 2021, went to the Curry Homeless Coalition, McKinleyville Family Resource Center, and the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s K’ima:w Medical Center.

“Of course, the pandemic is not over and many of our friends, families and neighbors continue to be impacted,” Zottola said.

“Much of the work of the Community Response Team continues to this day, meeting weekly to evaluate and award grants.”

Zottola added that the fund was made possible by the generosity of donors throughout the region. To date, more than 255 individual donors and funders have contributed the foundation’s response efforts.

HAF and WRCF recently issued a new COVID-19 Regional Response Fund Report that includes story of how the fund and the response team were established, and how the rapid-response grants helped save lives and the livelihoods of hundreds of people impacted by the pandemic.

Letters to the Editor Not deserving of freedoms The 4th seems to have morphed into simply a reason to trash our beaches and neighborhoods. Instead of gathering family and friends for the day to enjoy an outing of food and fun to celebrate our freedoms, some people take it to a level of disturbing others with exploding illegal fireworks that also frighten pets.

To add to their criminal acts, they feel it’s their right to leave their trash, some of it toxic, for others to pick up. As a 68-year-old

military veteran, the 4th is becoming more a time to dread rather than a celebration. The people who trashed our local beaches and neighborhoods don’t deserve the freedoms they supposedly are celebrating.

Rick McNamer Smith River Private companies can do as they wish The premise of Thomas Knapp, guest opinion in the July 16, Pilot, that the government is trying

to censor social media is false. It is true that some social media companies have censored groups and individuals they feel post patently false and conspiratorial content, but they are private companies and can do what they want. Period.

Legal decisions support these rights of private companies and they are not bound by the first amendment.

A Word, Please: Be careful with headlines Headline writing usually chops out little words — articles like “the” and conjunctions like “and” and, more problematically, verbs like “to be” and auxiliary verbs like “have.”

A headline that means to say, “A violinist is linked” usually just says, “Violinist linked.” The “is,” a conjugated form of “to be,” is dropped. As readers, we’ve come to expect it. So when you see “violinist linked,” it’s logical to assume it means “is linked” and that the words that follow constitute the think she was linked to.

In “McDonald’s Fries the Holy Grail for Potato Farmers,” an omitted form of “to be” is again the culprit. This headline means “McDonald’s fries are the Holy Grail for potato farmers.” The headline writer left the “are” implied, raising the grammatical possibility that “fries” is the verb and “the Holy Grail” its object.

Sometimes, however, you can’t blame a missing verb. In “Giant Waves Down Queen Mary’s Funnel,” the first three words are all highly versatile. “Giant” could be an adjective or a noun. “Waves” could be a noun or a verb. “Down” could be an adverb or a verb. The verb form of “down” is so much less common than the adverb form (“He downed his drink”), it’s pretty understandable why you might at first think “waves” is the verb and a giant was the noun doing the waving.

“In everyday spoken and written language, we can usually handle this sort of grammatical uncertainty because we have enough additional clues to make the right choices of interpretation,” linguist Ben Zimmer wrote in a 2010 issue of the New York Times Magazine. “But headlines sweep away those little words — particularly articles, auxiliary verbs and forms of ‘to be’ — robbing the reader of crucial context.”

June Casagrande is the author of “The Joy of Syntax: A Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know.”

She can be reached at JuneTCN@aol.com.

By June Casagrande It was the headline that launched a thousand linguistics blog posts: “Violinist Linked to JAL Crash Blossoms.”

In 2009, a copy editor spotted this headline in Japan Today. Then he logged on to an internet language forum to ponder the question: “What’s a crash blossom?”

The rest is linguistics history. What had been a nonsensical pairing of two words became a term referring to just such nonsense. Today, crash blossom means any headline that invites a misreading — especially a ridiculous one.

For example, the Japan Today headline didn’t mean that a violinist is linked to mysterious things called crash blossoms.

It meant that a violinist who is linked to a crash is blossoming in her career.

How do we know that? Certainly not from the grammar. As written, the headline has two meanings — one logical, the other nonsensical. We need logic to tell us which of the two valid interpretations is more likely.

Headline writing, which crams big ideas into very tight spaces, is uniquely vulnerable to such misunderstandings. Lots of well-known examples go back more than a century.

“British Left Waffles on Falklands.”

“Giant Waves Down Queen Mary’s Funnel.”

“McDonald’s Fries the Holy Grail for Potato Farmers.”

“MacArthur Flies Back to Front.”

“Eighth Army Push Bottles Up Germans.”

“Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim.”

Why did Brits abandon their carb-laden breakfasts? Why did the giant need a funnel to wave to the queen? Why did the potato farmers order their grail fried instead of broiled? Obviously, they didn’t.

But the headline writers failed to make that clear.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

SISTER’S PROSELYTIZING IMPACTS MAN’S SOCIAL LIFE DEAR ABBY: I have a much older sister who has become very religious.

Most of her life decisions are based on her faith, so conversations tend to develop into faith-oriented topics and justifications. I don’t initiate these conversations, and I make a genuine effort to understand her perspective. When I am not able to, I have mastered the “smile and nod.”

My problem is, anytime I bring a friend or date to a family function, she drags them off to the side and begins to question and discuss the importance of faith. Since religion is a widely varied and highly sensitive topic, this can sometimes be uncomfortable. I recently asked her to stop doing it, and I haven’t heard from her since. How can I explain healthy boundaries to her so we can have a respectful relationship? -YOUNGER BROTHER IN GEORGIA DEAR YOUNGER BROTHER: If part of your sister’s religion is advancing it or converting others to her faith, you won’t be able to convince her to stop.

I agree that what she’s doing can come across as obnoxious. Because you can’t control what she says or does, you may have to stop bringing friends or dates to family functions where you know she’ll be present. Otherwise, warn them in advance so they can either avoid being cornered or get away from her.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend was my first crush in grade eight. We are in our late 40s now. He was in a relationship for 17 years with a woman who has three daughters. One hasn’t talked to either parent in years. The other two drink, use drugs and

have kids of their own. They often ask to “borrow” money, but never pay it back.

One of them asked me for enough to put down a deposit for rent on a house. I have two of my own children and my exes don’t support them, so I’m wondering how responsible I am for his ex-girlfriend’s kids.

-- NOT GONNA HAPPEN DEAR NOT GONNA: You have no legal, moral or ethical obligation to the children your boyfriend raised with his former girlfriend. Stick to your guns, dear lady, because you are off the hook if you have the backbone to stay that way.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 50-year-old male.

When I interact with a woman whose name I don’t know, I address her as “Dear.”

Surprisingly, many of them respond in a negative way, regardless of age. Is it wrong to call someone “Dear”? And if so, what should I call them if I don’t know their name? -- UNSURE IN IOWA DEAR UNSURE: The women may respond the way they do because they consider being called “Dear” by a stranger to be overly familiar or even condescending.

(Other titles to avoid would be “Honey” and “Young Lady,” if the woman appears to be past the age of 30.) Be safe -- and respectful -- by addressing them as Miss or Ma’am.

Hard lessons from the border

By Gary Paul Nabhan The wall between the United States and Mexico has come to stand for desperation and suffering for many people. For most of us who live within 20 miles of this 452-mile wall, it’s also seen as a bizarre experiment: How much damage can ripple into the surrounding landscape from a wall that cuts a 60-foot swath through the natural world?

The term “crisis” also describes the border with Mexico. Water that once flowed, wildlife that needs to roam, and religious pilgrims - none know political boundaries. Yet to build this wall, vegetation was wiped away, roads bulldozed over mountains, waterways blocked and groundwater depleted by pumping. Lighting that never goes off has been installed on top of steel barriers 30 feet high.

Animals have been blocked from migration, their food chains disrupted.

Now, exotic weeds, insects and diseases can use the lengthy scar as a nick point for invasion, ultimately disrupting far more than what human border-crossers can do.

Meanwhile, the many people involved in borderland alliances have learned hard lessons from this wall, and the lessons need to be shared.

First, any effort to protect and restore what’s been harmed must engage the First Nations of this continent, who still live along one-fifth of the border, from San Diego to Brownsville.

Any “environmental protection” coalition that lacks Native American elders and professionals among its leaders will not get far. Vice President Kamala Harris and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland need to ensure that all agencies err on the side of more inclusiveness and environmental justice for all.

Second, when we neglect to listen to the voices of ranchers, farmers and

Gary Paul Nabhan other private land stewards along the border, everyone stands to lose.

Coalitions involving tough Texas property owners did far better at getting some concessions from Homeland Security than did coalitions in other states. At first, federal agency professionals and activists largely dismissed the concerns of ranchers and farmers who said they wanted better border security, but not a 30-foot wall.

In southeastern Arizona, the situation was different.

As early as 2010, the Malpai Borderlands Group in Southeastern Arizona and adjacent New Mexico developed and implemented a tight border security plan.

But its on-ground success was ignored by Homeland Security’s right-wing ideologues and discounted by left-wing activists who opposed any form of border security.

Third, we need to rally people around concerns that are universally shared.

One is the need to better protect artesian springs and flowing watercourses from groundwater pumping and blockage of stream flows. At least 80% of all neotropical birds and bats migrating between the U.S. and Mexico rely on wetland stopovers on or near the border. These water sources are also crucial to ranchers’ livestock, farmers’ food crop irrigation and local wildlife, especially as severe to exceptional drought affects every Western state.

Unfortunately, border activists failed to sufficiently recruit the support of food producers and waterfowl enthusiasts on

the corridors north and south of the border to protect these vulnerable links.

Now, we need their support to remove wall segments and floodgates that block transborder streams and wildlife movement.

Finally, one of our effective strategies for building broader coalitions to eke out some concessions was to link the protection of sacred sites at the border to constitutionally guaranteed religious freedoms granted to all Americans.

We rallied support of intertribal and interfaith organizations to denounce the way the wall would impact spiritual sanctuaries along the border, from Quitobaquito to La Lomita Chapel. Spiritual leaders themselves should now direct the restoration of sanctuaries that were damaged in several states. And in Organ Pipe National Monument, cultural properties need to be fully returned to -- or co-managed with - the Tohono O’odham and Hiaced O’odham.

Many O’odham and Kumeyaay youth put their lives at risk to protect their “places of the heart” while agency professionals stood meekly aside.

Since then, the Tohono O’odham Legislative Council has passed a resolution granting “sacred personhood” to all saguaros in their aboriginal homelands. This puts agencies on notice that the mutilation of thousands of cacti will never happen again on their watch.

I believe that United States, Mexican and First Nations peoples can work together to heal the wounds in the border landscapes in ways that heal the divisions among us as well.

It’s time to start.

Suspected sex offender College of the Redwoods softball coach steps down arrested in Barstow College of the Redwoods women’s softball coach Maggie White will be stepping down from coaching after 25 years.

She will continue to serve as a kealth and kinesiology instructor and will mentor all student athletes in CR’s Cap & Gown program, where she will help students balance the demands of both their studies and their sport.

“Coach White has provided a tremendous amount of dedication and service to our softball program for the past 25 years,” said CR Athletic Director

Knox Keranen The Triplicate

A Crescent City man suspected of unlawful sex with a minor has been arrested in Barstow.

27-year-old Constancio Gutierrez-Pelayo fled the Crescent City area in late June after Crescent City Police officers tried to contact him for an interview, according to a June 23 press release from the CCPD. After he fled, police received conflicting reports about Gutierrez-Pelayo’s location, as some said he was camping in Curry County, Oregon, while others reported he was staying in Eureka.

According to the release, Gutierrez-Pelayo could have been in possession of a handgun.

As the officer responsible for the case, CCPD’s Alex Pearson immediately began attempting to track and locate Gutierrez-Pelayo.

Bob Brown. “She holds the second longest consecutive coaching tenure in department history for any program and has been a positive influence on so many young women’s lives over the years.”

Coach White’s teams had several playoff appearances during her tenure, won four GVC conference championships and had one state final championship appearance in 2006.

“I am extremely thankful that we had Maggie White serve as the head coach of our women’s softball program,” said CR

President Keith Flamer.

“She epitomizes what an outstanding college athletic coach should be.

Our softball players have benefited tremendously from her strong leadership and mentorship on and off the field and I am certain that she will excel in her new mentorship position with our Cap & Gown program.”

The search for a new softball coach will commence immediately and the position will be open to all qualified, interested candidates to apply starting July 19.

CONVICTIONS Constancio Gutierrez-Pelayo Pearson worked with the Las Vegas Airport Police, Barstow Police Department, and the California Highway Patrol while attempting to locate

Roadless forests see more blazes and greater severity, but fire resilience is the result

By Steve Lundeberg Roadless national forests in the American West burn more often and at a slightly higher severity than national forests without roads, but the end result for the roadless forests is greater fire resilience, Oregon State University researchers say.

The findings, published recently in Environmental Research Letters, provide a key piece of the puzzle for a region trying to develop better approaches to living with fire in the wake of a 2020 fire season that brought historically disastrous blazes.

Limiting smoke exposure and reducing risk to water supplies, habitat and human infrastructure from huge, uncontrolled fires are important goals of policymakers, said James Johnston, a researcher in the OSU College of Forestry and the study’s leader.

Mechanical fuel treatments – piling brush, thinning dense stands of trees, etc. – are a common tool for meeting those goals, but more than half of all fires, including most of the largest ones, burn mainly in roadless areas, where mechanical treatments are usually prohibited.

“The extent of fire where man-

agement options are limited makes clear the need to adapt to, rather than overcome, fire,” he said.

Differences in fire extent and fire escape – a fire getting beyond the area you think it should stay contained in – are strongly associated with roadless vs. non-roadless management, Johnston said. But the real drivers of fire severity – i.e. tree mortality – are differences in environment and not land use designations.

Trees growing in sites at higher elevations with greater moisture availability and lower temperatures – which describes most of the roadless sites – are generally less fire tolerant than species found in drier, lower-elevation landscapes.

Created in 1905, the U.S. Forest Service oversees nearly 190 million acres of national forests, most of it in the West. The area managed by the USFS makes up one-fifth of all forestland in the United States and 1.5% globally.

Historically, federal legislation typically required the agency to emphasize timber cutting, but the Wilderness Act of 1964 called for the creation of areas where natural conditions would be preserved.

“The act also required the Forest Service to inventory all of its

roadless areas not designated as wilderness, pending future action

by Congress,” Johnston said.

“Any of those roadless areas not released for development in the 1970s and ’80s ended up becoming an unofficial extension of the wilderness system, and then in 2001, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule generally prohibited building roads and harvesting timber in those areas.”

That created two distinct management regimes: an active one featuring road-filled landscapes and a history of recreational development and timber harvesting, and another with no roads, no development and little or no harvesting history. The breakdown is roughly 50-50.

“Human influences are largely absent in roadless areas, the management of which is largely a matter of decisions about how to deal with natural disturbances like wildfire,” Johnston said.

Before 1910, frequent low-severity surface fires played a key role in maintaining forests. In the decades since, the comparative lack of fire that resulted from federal policy – in concert with grazing, logging and land-use changes – have caused major structural shifts in older forests

as shade-tolerant and fire-intolerant species have moved in.

The policy of fire suppression traces its roots to the Great Fire of 1910, which killed 87 people, destroyed several towns and burned an area roughly the size of Connecticut. The blaze consumed 3 million acres of forest in Idaho, Montana, Washington and British Columbia.

“Wildfire is an important disturbance process that shapes the structure, composition and function of forests, and a better understanding of how passive versus active management relates to fire patterns is critical for managers trying to meet new objectives to restore forests to their natural fire regime,” Johnston said. “Over the last three decades, roughly one-third of the roadless landscape experienced fire, while less than one-fifth of the ‘roaded’ lands did.”

That’s despite the fact that roadless areas had far fewer ignition events and are generally in regions that are cooler and moister.

“Most of the largest fires that have burned on national forestland in recent years began in roadless areas,” said study co-author Jack Kilbride, a Ph.D. student in OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean and At-

mospheric Sciences. “But evidence suggests that the greater extent of fire in roadless areas has potential to make those landscapes more resilient in the face of climate change. This study really shows the usefulness of satellite data for being able to characterize how fire patterns differ as a function of management.”

The legacy of fire suppression includes increased forest density, shifts in species composition and loss of resiliency to fire, drought and insects, the researchers say.

But a number of recent studies have shown that forests in wilderness and other roadless areas that have experienced multiple fires are less likely to experience stand-replacing fire and are getting back to the structure and composition they featured prior to white settlement.

“Mechanical thinning, prescribed fire and wildland fire will continue to be used as tools on the ‘roaded’ landscape,” Johnston said. “And without major policy changes, wildland fire will continue to be the primary weapon available in roadless areas. Working together, forest managers and scientists can determine which management objectives are seeing progress, and how much.”

Oak

From Page A1

cy quarantine area around Port Orford.

Sarah Navarro, a forest pathologist with the U.S. Forest Service, has been leading the research in the area. On Monday, she led a tour of the infected area, showing what she has found and laying out plans to eradicate the pathogen.

While sudden oak death is a threat in both regions of the county, there is a difference. In the Brookings area, the trees are under attack from a variant called NA1. In Port Orford, a new variant called NA2, is responsible for the trees that are dying.

“This is the first time the NA2 variant has been found in the forest,” Navarro said. “They have been in nurseries since 2012, but the incidents in nurseries have been declining.”

The experts on the tour said it is possible the new variant came from the county transfer site, which sits just feet from the earliest outbreaks. While mostly home garbage is dumped at the site, it has accepted yard waste, including tree clippings for years.

While the research in Port Orford is new, Navarro said the outbreak is not. She said based on the damage seen on trees in the forest, it likely has been around for at least four years.

“It was most likely cooking in the area, and the reason we caught it was along the highway,” she said.

Navarro said the U.S. Forest Service hired a contractor, who flew the entire area last week to take high-definition photos of the forest. When those pictures are reviewed, it will give a greater idea how widespread the outbreak is.

“We still have a lot of looking to do in this area,” said Randy Wiese with the Oregon Department of Forestry.

The new outbreak is 21 miles north of the quarantine area near Brookings and only 17 miles from the Coos County border.

Sudden oak death has also been found in Del Norte County across the California border. It appears to be moving north, likely following the wind patterns.

When trees are infected, the first sign is leaves begin to die and turn reddish-brown. In time, the entire tanoak will die.

“They’ll turn that reddish color in about three months,” Wiese said.

“They’ll have it for up to four years. Eventually, they’ll go leafless and fall over.”

While 127 different tree species can carry sudden oak death, the tanoaks and rhododendron are impacted the most.

The only way to treat an outbreak is to cut down and burn infected trees.

Generally, all tanoaks and rhododendron trees near an outbreak are also destroyed. Property owners can safely cut down their own tanoaks and use the wood for burning.

Navarro said there is concern the spread could continue moving north.

SOD is a mold-like pathogen. Right now, there are no spores because it takes moisture to reproduce. But after rain, SOD can make new spores, which are car-

ried by wind to areas not impacted.

“We know natural spread can be up to five to six miles, and we know tanoaks go into Coos County,” Navarro said.

To determine how widespread the impact is, forest pathologists like Navarro hike through the forests, mostly on private land. They look for signs on SOD on trees and cut chunks out of the trees that are sent to Oregon State University to be tested.

Long-term, if not stopped, the spread of SOD could impact the timber industry and export industry throughout the whole region. While SOD does not kill Douglas Fir, the most cut tree from the timber industry, it does infect the tree and it can be spread from the Douglas Fir. The Asian market, where most local timber is sold, will not allow imports if SOD is in the region.

State Rep. David Brock Smith has been working on SOD issues since he become a Curry County commissioner is 2013. He said the future of Oregon’s South Coast is on the line if SOD can’t be stopped.

“If we can’t get a handle on this stuff, it’s going to have long-term impacts on the industry,” Brock Smith said. “Thanks to all the good work of everyone here, I have been able to move forward to really elevate this and the need at the state. We have gotten $1.7 million every biennium.

Sen. Merkley has gotten even more money.”

And the money is desperately needed. With the Port Orford site estimated at 388 acres, and a cost to treat and destroy infected trees averaging $5,000 an acre, the full $1.7 million from the state will be needed just to slow the spread near Port Orford.

One thing the researchers would like to get is an air-curtain incinerator. With burning in the deep forest challenging and threatening due to wildfire danger, the incinerator could be used to safely burn nearby. The equipment would also limit smoke and other particulates from entering the air.

“If you need anything, I’ll call the governor and say this is what we want to do,” Brock Smith told Navarro.

With SOD moving across Curry and Del Norte counties and threatening Coos County, Navarro said the key to finding and stopping the pathogen is property owners. In the Port Orford area, SOD has likely been present for at least four years, but it was only located when it infected trees along Highway 101.

Navarro said property owners can keep an eye on their trees. If they notice tanoaks or rhododendron with leaves turning brown, they should contact the Oregon Department of Forestry, which can determine if SOD is present.

Norma Kline with Oregon State University Forestry and Natural Resources Extension in Coos and Curry counties plans to provide information sessions about the disease to the public this summer in Port Orford. This will help local residents identify symptoms of sudden oak death so they can report any signs of it on their property.
