chief probation officer, approved the position of probation services manager and directed human resources to update the appropriate salary schedules.

In a Power Point presentation, Chief Probation Officer Lonnie Reyman detailed the transition facilitated by the reentry team.

“It’s a mouthful and the culmination of a lot of work by a lot

of people in implementing these changes,” he said.

The complete re-purposing of the hall will save the Country approximately $3 million from the general fund budget. Reyman did not announce a date for implementation of the transition.

In a separate board action, supervisors approved a side letter agreement to clarify the status

of the current Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the Del Norte County Employees Association/SEIU Local 1021.

As a final action to facilitate the transfer, the board approved the transfer of $81,000 from the probation budget to cover the costs of housing arrested youth in neighboring counties.

Harrowing crash leaves two homeless City moves forward on ordinance restricting Accessory Dwelling Units

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Mike Noon and John Brannon were residents of 840 L St, alltoo close to US Highway 101, in Crescent City. Mike resided in unit four and John lived in unit three.

The past tense of both residences is indicated after an alleged stolen Porsche driven by Jacob Ogden, 22, led authorities on a wild chase which began in Bandon, Oregon, and ended just after 11 p.m., Thursday. July 27 in a horrific crash at 840 L St. Uninjured Ogden was arrested and booked on several felony charges. The suspect claimed he was homeless.

Miraculously, no one was killed. Per new California bail guidelines, and under the strong objection of the district attorney, Judge Robert Cochran released Ogden on his own recognizance.

“We thought a bomb exploded when the vehicle struck our homes” said Noon and Brannon.

“We’re both lucky to be alive.”

73-year old Brannon is in poor health but did not incur any injuries as a result of the collision. He is suffering from serious financial loss, with no place to live, through no fault of his own.

Brannon is paying his own motel expenses out of his meager Social Security benefits. He needs help. A call to Interim Housing at the Department of Human Resources was not returned by press time.

Brannon is meeting with outof-area family to discuss his lim-

Helicopter tours of St. George Reef Lighthouse to return

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

The St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society will conduct 10 flights per day with a docent-led tour of the remote, historical lighthouse over Labor Day weekend, September 1-4.

SGRLPS President John Zimmerman reports the flights will resume after a four year hiatus. A limited amount of seats remain.

The cost of the flight, docent-tour of the lighthouse, and membership in SGRLPS for one year is $350, with a $175 down payment.

“It’s truly an exhilarating experience to see up front and personal this spectacular lighthouse,” said Zimmerman.

The lighthouse was built in 1882 on an area of exposed rock seven miles off the shores of Point St. George, in the aftermath of the Brother Jonathan disaster in 1865, and named in honor of British explorer George Vancouver in 1792. St. George Lighthouse was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1975 due to unique dangers posed to personnel. Several Coast Guard Please see TOURS, Page A2

A birds-eye view of Crescent City

OBITUARIES Patricia Diane Bowers 5/1/1955 - 8/11/2023

Patricia Diane Bowers, a resident of Requa, California, was born on May 1, 1955, to Lavina Mattz Bowers and William Douglas Bowers. She peacefully passed away on August 11, 2023, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Diane was a proud member of the Yurok Tribe, hailing from a lineage of leaders, medicine practitioners, and feather people. Born in Canada, she spent her early years in Kamloops, BC, and her formative years in Corvallis and Airlie, Oregon.

As a youth, she was a cheerleader, hurdler in track and field, and student body president. Her educational journey took her to Oregon State University, where she was homecoming princess. Additionally, she pursued studies at Hayward University and later established her professional roots in the Bay Area. She nurtured her children in Ashland, Eugene, and Beaverton, Oregon, and over a decade ago, she returned to the Yurok reservation at Requa, her family’s ancestral home at the mouth of the Klamath River. Here, she provided unwavering support to her mother Lavina, her family, and the Yurok community.

Diane held a deep passion for fishing and the serenity of the Klamath River. In the late 1970s, she fearlessly defended Yurok Tribal rights, facing down federal agents during the Salmon Wars. She shared her experiences through media interviews and engaged with numerous classes and public events to ensure the significance of the Salmon Wars was never forgotten.

Throughout her career, Diane excelled in banking and housing, garnering multiple consecutive titles as Realtor of the Year.

After moving home, she served as the Yurok Tribe’s Education Deputy Director and Executive Director of the Yurok Indian Housing Authority. Most recently, worked in the Yurok Tribe’s fisheries department. A favorite song of Diane’s was “This Little Light of Mine,” a reflection of her ability to see the potential for brightness in all she encountered. She possessed an extraordinary talent for making family, friends, and colleagues feel cherished and accepted for their true selves. Diane’s love and guidance enveloped her community, making them feel like an integral part of her extended family. She uplifted and

Unsecured property taxes are now due Del Norte County Tax Collector, Barbara M. Lopez, would like to remind taxpayers that unsecured property taxes for the fiscal year 2023-24 are now due and payable and will become delinquent if not paid or postmarked by August 31, 2023. After this date, a 10% penalty plus a $10.00 collection fee will be added.

Unsecured Personal Property tax is assessed on various types of property including business property, boats, boat slips, mining claims and possessory interests in leased property.

Each year, many tax bills are returned because the property owner moved and failed to notify the Del Norte County Assessor’s Office. It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to notify the Tax Collector if a bill is not received. Failure to receive a tax bill is not sufficient reason for non-payment.

The Tax Collector’s Office urges anyone having questions to please contact their office at 707-4647283.

supported everyone during their most challenging moments as well as their proudest accomplishments.

Diane’s perspective radiated positivity, she saw blessings everywhere, and she had the innate ability to make others feel like they were blessings to the world. Diane was a master seamstress, crafting everything from exquisite couture clothing to durable boat sails and parachutes. She shared joy and beauty through her imaginative Halloween costumes, elegant curtains, furniture, and cherished stuffed animals. In addition to her creative talents, she delighted in cooking for others, even running a café where her delectable pies would sell out before noon. Her secret ingredient was always love, and her kale soup and potato pancakes were cherished by all. Playing poker was another source of joy for Diane, showcasing her skill, and she cultivated a circle of cherished friends at the Elk Valley casino.

However, her greatest pride and joy resided in her three children and twelve grandchildren. Their mere presence would light up her eyes and bring forth her most radiant smile. Diane is survived by her mother, Lavina Bowers, and her siblings: Susan (Leonard) Masten, Debora (Hugo) Yuttralde, William (Diane) Bowers, Janet (Marty) Wortman, and Anthony (Kohleen) Alameda. She leaves behind her beloved children: Cera Bowers (Abraham Ramirez), Mariah Bowers (Jose Lopez), and James Bowers (Angelica Briones), as well as her cherished grandchildren: Shaylee Davis, Samuel Jones, Jonathon Evans, Jeremy Jones, James Bowers, Marissa Bowers, Andric Ramirez, Lilliana Bowers, Arayna Ramirez, Maria Lopez, Samuel Ramirez, and Jayden Ramirez.

She also leaves behind numerous adored nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Huffman, Padilla announce $2 million for Renovation of Historic Structure for Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries Last week, U.S. Representative Jared Huffman (CA-02) and Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) shared the news that NOAA will invest $2 million from the Inflation Reduction Act in NOAA’s Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries to support critical repairs and updates to a facility on the sanctuaries’ campus in San Francisco.

NOAA intends to renovate a historic former lifeboat station garage and convert it into an ocean learning center for handson education and outreach on marine conservation.

“The Greater Farallones Marine Sanctuary is a treasured part of my district — home to a diverse and productive ecosystem that supports our region and has deep cultural significance to local tribes. We must invest in sanctuary programs like this to ensure they can continue their mission of

protecting our coasts while spreading awareness on both the benefits of healthy marine ecosystems and the threats they face from the unrelenting climate crisis,” said Congressman Jared Huffman. “I made it a priority to include this type of funding in the Inflation Reduction Act, and I’m incredibly glad to see a keystone of our region receive one of these grants.

The repairs and upgrades for the Visitor Center at Crissy Field, made possible through this latest tranche of funding, will go a long way in helping the sanctuary boost tourism and spur educational opportunities.”

“NOAA’s national ma-

rine sanctuaries facilities are a gateway to our greatest underwater treasures — and key to maintaining them,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “This funding will provide critical upgrades to NOAA’s Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries facilities and represents President Biden’s commitment to investing in America.”

“For over 40 years, the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary has helped protect the diverse marine ecosystem of the northern and central California coast as well as provided meaningful research,

recreation, and educational opportunities,” said Padilla. “I applaud this funding from NOAA through the Inflation Reduction Act to sustain the growing local tourist economy and support crucial education and sustainability programs by delivering essential repairs to the Sanctuary’s Visitor Center.”

The campus, which supports both Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries, is located on the promenade of Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s (GGNRA) Crissy Field, which attracts over a million visitors and locals annually for recreation.

Level 1 fire restrictions go into For community arts effect for Six Rivers National Forest calendar listings, please Due to dry conditions and increasing fire danger, the Six Rivers National Forest is implementing temporary level 1 fire restrictions, beginning August 14.

These restrictions apply to all of the Six Rivers National Forest (SRF) and land administered by the SRF which includes the Ukonom Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest.

Forest visitors may still have a campfire within a designated fire safe site, developed recreation site, and in designated Wilderness areas. Restrictions are expected to lift on November 5, 2023, conditions permitting.

Fire management officials continually monitor fire conditions throughout the year and implement restrictions only when necessary.

Recently officials have observed significant fire potential for the months of August and September due to increasing temperatures, winds and dry vegetation or “fuel”.

The forest’s top priority is the health and safety of our firefighters and the public. These restrictions will help reduce the potential of human-caused fires, which account for 87% of

wildfires annually.

The following is prohibited under Level 1 restrictions: Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire, except in Wilderness areas, Designated Fire Safe Sites, or within stoves, charcoal grills or fire rings provided in the Developed Recreation Sites Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, within a Developed Recreation Site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.

Operating or using any internal or external combustion engine without a spark arresting device that is properly installed, maintained, and in effective working order.

Welding, or operating an acetylene or other torch with open flame.

View the complete Forest Order Here including a map of the forest and a complete list of developed recreation and designated fire safe sites.

As visitors continue to visit the forest and enjoy the rest of summer and beginning of fall, here are a few tips when recreating on the forest to help prevent wildfires:

Campfires: When building a campfire remember to never leave your fire unattended.

Ensure your fire is completely extinguished before leaving by drowning it with water, stir it to ensure there are no hot coals under the surface, and feel for any heat using the back of your had.

Vehicles: Keep vehicles off dry grass. Did you know your exhaust can reach temperatures of 1,000+ degrees? Be sure to avoid driving or parking over dry grass. When traveling, ensure your chains are properly connected, dragging chains can start a fire, all it takes is just one spark.

Stoves: If using pressurized or bottled liquid fuel stoves, lanterns, or heating devices, use in barren areas with at least 3 feet of clearance from grasses and other debris that may catch fire. Prevent stoves from tipping.

Spark Arrestors: Ensure that all internal or external combustion engines have a spark arresting device properly installed, maintained and in effective working order.

The winner of the 2023 California Duck Stamp Art Contest painting is Buck Spencer of Junction City, Oregon. The painting depicting two ring-necked ducks will be the official design for the 2023-2024 stamp.

Spencer previously won the 2020 California Upland Game Bird Stamp Art Contest and placed second in the 2021 and 2022 California Duck Stamp art contests.

The judges described being initially drawn to the photorealism of the painting. They said despite being relatively simple in terms of layout, they were impressed by the amount of detail in both the water and the birds. They appreciated the coloring of the feathers, specifically noting the iridescence and vermiculation (the salt and pepper coloring on the flank feathers) on the male.

Spencer used multiple glazes with his acrylic paints to help bring out the iridescent purple of the male’s head and the red ring around his neck.

“I was inspired by a pair of ring-necked ducks I observed one evening,” Spencer said. “The lighting made the male’s head ‘pop’ and it looked as if the ducks were glowing.

I wanted to try to capture this effect in my painting.”

Artists from around the

country submitted entries for the contest, sponsored by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Jeffrey Klinefelter of Etna Green, Ind., placed second, Lloyd Ulmer of Tucson, Ariz., placed third and Samuel Timm of Wautoma, Wis., received honorable mention.

The top four paintings were displayed at the Pacific Flyway Decoy Association’s Annual Classic Wildlife Art Festival in Sacramento this past weekend.

Since 1971, the California Duck Stamp Program’s annual contest has attracted top wildlife artists from around the country.

The contest is open to artists from all 50 states to ensure a wide pool of submissions. All proceeds generated from stamp sales go directly to waterfowl conservation projects within California.

In the past, hunters were required to purchase and affix the stamp to their hunting licenses. Today, hunters are no longer required to carry the stamps because California’s modern licensing system prints proof of additional fees paid directly onto the license. CDFW still produces the stamps, which can be requested on CDFW’s website at wildlife.ca.gov/ licensing/collector-stamps.

Public employee retirement event planned The California Public Employees’ Retirement System is hosting a twoday CalPERS Benefits Education Event (CBEE) in Eureka in late-July to educate public sector employees about the various programs, as well as retirement and health benefits, that are available to them.

This CBEE will take place at the Red Lion Hotel Eureka, at 1929 4th St, on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29, 2023. The same program is offered on each day, so attendees can select the day to attend.

There are more than 20,000 active CalPERS members in Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lake Mendocino, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity counties who can benefit from this event.

Whether new to CalPERS, in mid-career, or close to retirement, CBEEs

offer all CalPERS members a wealth of information about their retirement and health benefits, supplemental savings plans, and more. Representatives from CalPERS Regional Offices will be on hand to answer questions.

Open both Friday and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., the free event features classes specific to both early through mid-career members, and those nearing retirement. Topics to be covered include CalPERS retirement benefits, CalPERS health benefits, and deferred compensation.

The deferred compensation class is sponsored by the California Department of Human Resources’ Savings Plus program.

Members can register for this event on the CalPERS Benefits Education Events In-Person Event Details webpage.

IN MY VIEW The Federal Reserve Politics, Policy, Programs and Progress Ignores China at Its Peril My primary objective cials to consider the effect dress current issues facing

By DESMOND LACHMAN InsideSources.com

A disturbing characteristic of Jerome Powell’s Federal Reserve is how U.S.-centric it has become. In following its data-dependent interest rate policy, the Fed makes little reference to world economic developments in general and to those in China in particular. It does so even though those developments could materially affect our economy.

This is all the more surprising at a time when China, the world’s second-largest economy and, until recently, its main engine of growth, is in deep economic trouble. It is also surprising when that country appears to be on the cusp of deflation and is causing a marked softening in international commodity prices.

A series of egregious economic policy mistakes under President Xi Jinping’s watch is at the heart of China’s current economic malaise. These mistakes include an over-reliance on a credit-fueled housing market and an export-led economic growth model. They also include an economically disastrous zero-COVID tolerance policy and a heavy-handed clampdown on the all-important tech sector that has undermined investor confidence.

It is also hardly helping matters that China is now paying the economic price for its earlier one-child policy that is now leading to the shrinking of its population. Or its economic relations with the United States have soured under the Donald Trump and the President Biden administrations. Nor is it helpful that the United States and European companies are seriously trying to reduce their reliance on the Chinese supply chain.

The depth of China’s economic troubles is underlined by the difficulties it is experiencing in its housing and export sector. According to Harvard’s Kenneth Rogoff study, housing activity accounts for almost 30 percent of the Chinese economy. Meanwhile, the IMF estimates that Chinese exports account for nearly 20 percent of the country’s GDP. This implies that at least half the Chinese economy is in deep trouble.

The Bank for International Settlements frequently reminds us that over the last decade, China experienced a housing and credit market bubble that was of a similar size to that which Japan experienced in the run-up to its lost economic decade in the 1990s. Housing prices in relation to income in China’s major cities have come to exceed those in London and New York, while credit to the non-financial private sector increased by a staggering 100 percent of GDP. There is now every indication that those bubbles are bursting.

Over the last year, many Chinese property developers, including Evergrande, have defaulted on their loans. Meanwhile, house prices have fallen steadily over the past year, housing starts are in a deep slump, local governments are experiencing financial difficulties due to slumping land sales, and the housing market continues to be characterized by literally many millions of unoccupied dwellings. With China’s population declining, it is difficult to see how the country can grow out of its housing and credit market difficulties.

The significant slowing we are now witnessing in the Chinese economy has raised a fundamental question for the Federal Reserve. At a time when the world’s second-largest economy is showing every sign that it could soon be exporting meaningful deflationary pressure to the rest of the world economy, might the Fed not be risking monetary policy overkill by hewing to its aggressive interest rate hiking policy?

when I get involved with any political endeavor is to foster good policies and programs. It is always my hope that if we elect capable and qualified people that they will lead us to progress. But the hard work starts after the election.

It is my ongoing mission to bring greater awareness of rural issues to all elected officials.

We can help our urban neighbors to recognize that if rural communities do better, California will do better.

Party Platform I feel privileged that I have been reappointed to the California Democratic Party (CDP) Platform Committee. A platform is a statement of values and principles that represent a consensus of the members of the party.

The CDP updates and revises our platform every two years to ensure that it is focusing on emerging issues. Policies that are highlighted in our platform elevate these issues to the attention of elected officials who can address them. This is the value of our effort.

The Rural Plank is a section of our platform that focuses like a laser on uniquely rural issues. I have also been reappointed as Chair of the Rural Plank Committee to help guide revisions to this rural policy document.

Preamble I will highlight a few edited excerpts from the Rural Plank. This is what we want for rural California. This first policy statement underscores all the other specific policy goals listed below.

“In recognition of the unique opportunities and challenges in developing policies and programs that work in rural communities, California Democrats will encourage elected offi-

on rural California when proposing new policies or programs by evaluating whether the outcome is fair and feasible in rural communities.”

Current Plank The current Rural Plank includes a few policy statements that will not change.

This one may surprise some. California Democrats will: “Support policies that balance the lawful and responsible ownership of firearms for hunting, sport, and personal protection with the growing need for gun safety laws.”

When the first Rural Plank was written, we made a clear statement that Democrats in rural communities are not against all gun ownership.

We own guns and respect the rights of others to own guns.

However, there is a crisis in America with gun violence which must be addressed with common sense gun safety laws.

Timeless Policies The Rural Plank contains other timeless policy objectives that will not be changed this round. California Democrats will: “Support policies that consider limited financial capacity in rural areas when implementing state requirements… adjust compliance timelines and targets as needed and provide funding to support such programs where the local population cannot.”

“Sustain a lasting and respectful relationship with Tribal Nations and bolster efforts to support tribal sovereignty, economic development, culture, language, and restoration of ancestral land…”

Rural Caucus The Rural Caucus of the California Democratic Party recently submitted proposed revisions of the Rural Plank. They offered thoughtful updates to ad-

rural California. When solutions are presented for consideration, this will lead more quickly to progress. The following are a few examples.

California Democrats will: Water “Support legislation that invests in and protects the natural resources of rural areas i.e., maintaining the health of rural watersheds, and funding the needed infrastructure for water storage. Secure ongoing funding in the State budget to provide safe, clean, affordable, and accessible drinking water to rural communities affected by water contamination or shortage.”

Funding Equity “Support equitable distribution of state resources, programs, and tax dollars based on need, not solely population and alleviate the disproportionate burden on rural areas. Ensure equitable investment in rural healthcare, education, community development, and infrastructure, such as water, sewer, power and affordable, reliable, high speed, public safety grade internet.”

Internet “Fulfill the commitment to close the “digital divide” by ensuring adequate funding in the state budget for the equitable and expeditious deployment of state owned and operated, open access, public safety grade broadband “middle mile” infrastructure, as deeply and densely as possible in rural areas, as well as “last mile” infrastructure…”

Housing “Increase financing, subsidy options, and tax incentives to promote new affordable housing development including workforce housing in rural counties and facilitate access and help smaller

Kevin Hendrick communities of every socio-economic status navigate the application process…”

Insurance “Prevent insurance companies from cancelling or declining to offer homeowner, property and fire insurance policies, and bolster the state funded insurance of last resort to provide comprehensive coverage.”

Just a Wish List?

Though this Rural Plank is part of a Democratic Party Platform, these are policies, values, and principles that most people will support.

Over the last three months the Platform Committee has held 6 public hearings to take testimony on possible changes to the California Democratic Platform (https://cadem. org/our-platform/).

We have heard recommendations on issues from healthcare to climate change to world peace.

It has been interesting to hear the ideas from all these smart, caring people who took the time to promote ways in which to make the world a better place. Of course, this is just a wish list if we don’t follow up with political advocacy leading to better policies, programs, and progress.

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Wildland firefighters need our support

By GREGORY MCNAMEE At any given moment during this smoky summer of 2023, hundreds of wildfires were blazing in the United States — more than 850 as of late July, according to the nonprofit Fire, Weather & Avalanche Center. Most of those wildfires ignited in the forests of the American West.

Fires were also burning by the thousands in Canada, creating a pall of particulate-dense smoke that blotted out views of the Chicago skyline and the Washington Mall. Those fires are expected to burn well into fall.

This hellish aspect lends weight to historian Stephen Pyne’s conclusion that we live now in an age of fire called the “Pyrocene.”

Assembled to combat these blazes is a massive army of wildland firefighters. Some are volunteers, some are prison work crews earning time cred-

Gregory McNamee ited against their sentences. Some are municipal firefighters dispatched to the woods.

Some 11,300 of them are federal firefighters, called “forestry technicians,” who work under the aegis of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior.

For all of them, it’s exhausting work. Wildland firefighters typically log 16-hour days for weeks at a time, burning 4,000 to 6,000 calories a day while carrying heavy backpacks.

It’s punishing labor and

always dangerous. Barely a year has gone by in the last quarter-century that has not seen at least 15 wildland firefighter deaths, the victims not just of flames and smoke but also of heat exhaustion, vehicle accidents, air crashes, falling trees and heart attacks.

Often, they don’t die alone. In June 2013, 19 “Hotshots” burned to death in a horrific Arizona wildfire, the third-greatest loss of wildland firefighters in U.S. history.

Yet despite the hardships and the history, a mandated pay raise in June 2021, spurred by President Joe Biden, brought the minimum wage for federal wildland firefighters up to a mere $15 an hour.

Firefighters of my acquaintance seldom cite money as a motivator for their work. They fight fires in the spirit of public service, while in some rural communities, as a young Apache firefighter told me, “It gives us something to

do.”

But firefighters, like everyone else, must shoulder rents and mortgages and groceries, and a paycheck of less than $3,000 a month just doesn’t cut it.

Enter a temporary order from President Biden raising that base pay rate by 50 percent. Put in place in August 2022, and retroactive to the previous October as part of a hotly contested package of infrastructure-funding policies, the pay raise was funded only until September 30, 2023, after which pay for wildland firefighters drops back to 2020 levels.

Wildland firefighters lobbied for Biden’s pay raise to be made permanent but they made few inroads. That was until they finally found an ally in Arizona’s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Now an independent, Sinema allied with Republican Sens. John Barrasso of Wyoming and Steve Daines of Montana, and Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana,

to introduce the bipartisan Wildland Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act. It would fund permanent pay increases.

By late June of 2023, their bill had passed out of committee by a vote of 10 to 1, the only no vote coming from Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. When it reaches the Senate floor, it will be open to debate and a full vote.

There, however, the politicians are likely to squabble, especially on the House side. Larger issues loom, too, such as the need to revise policy so that forests are better managed to improve the conditions that now foster massive wildfires. Those conditions are the product of a “wise use” regime that saw forests as profitable tree farms and not as living systems The Forest Service also had a decades-long policy of dousing all wildfires as early as possible.

more comprehensive bill compensating wildland firefighters struggles to gain traction, fires continue to burn in the outback.

Without a pay raise, federal officials fear, some firefighters will walk away from a risky and insultingly low-paying job.

Wildland firefighters are needed right now, and we need to pay them what they deserve through the Wildland Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act. They will be needed even more in a future of climbing temperatures and widespread drought causing even more massive wildfires.

We can only hope that we will have the firefighters to confront them.

TS No: CA07000131-201 APN: 110-160-22-000 TO No: 200015996-CAVOI NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE (The above statement is made pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(1). The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED September 11, 2017.

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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On October 10, 2023 at 11:00 AM, At the stairs of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn County Administration Building at 981 H St, Crescent City, CA 95531, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on September 26, 2017 as Instrument No. 20173729, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Del Norte County, California, executed

by RANDY L JEWELL, A MARRIED MAN, AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for NATIONWIDE EQUITIES CORP. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 475 ESTA AVENUE, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.\emspace The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $195,778.71 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale.

Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee

is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0700013120-1. 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.\ emspace Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 CA07000131-20-1 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 petition for probate requests that: Heather Bolen be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: August 25, 2023 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

T.S. No. 109395-CA APN: 118-424-005-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 5/12/2015.

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 On 9/27/2023 at 11:00 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 6/10/2015 as Instrument No. 20152323 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Del Norte County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: LORETTA M. UPTON, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; At the Steps of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn Administration Building, 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 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 described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1333 OREGON STREET, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The 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:

$149,258.72 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

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 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 109395CA. 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 Web

site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 109395-CA 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.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: September 1, 2023 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Razor Clam Fishery opens in Humboldt County The Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has re-opened the recreational razor clam fishery in Humboldt County following a recommendation from state health agencies that consumption of razor clams in the area no longer poses a significant threat for domoic acid exposure.

In April 2023, the razor clam fishery was closed in Humboldt County due to risk of domoic acid exposure. During the closure, state health agencies continued to assess domoic acid levels which consistently exceeded the federal action level for domoic acid of ≥ 20 parts per million (ppm). However, clams collected from Clam Beach, Humboldt County in July 2023 all had domoic acid concentrations lower than this action level.

Domoic acid is a naturally occurring toxin produced by certain types of plankton that can be harmful or even fatal to humans.

Domoic acid poisoning in humans may occur within

minutes to hours after consumption of affected seafood and can result in signs and symptoms ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to permanent loss of short-term memory (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning), coma, or death. There is no way to prepare clams that will remove the toxin.

Cooking and freezing have no effect.

CDFW reminds clammers that the daily bag limit for razor clams is 20 and the first 20 clams dug must be retained regardless of size or condition. Each person is required to keep a separate container and is not allowed to commingle their clams with another person’s when digging and transporting clams.

For more information, please refer to Section 29.20 Clams General and Section 29.45 for specific razor clam regulations.

For more information on any fishery closure information or health advisories, please visit CDFW’s Ocean Health Advisories website.

Razor clams To get the latest information on current fishing season closures related to domoic acid, call CDFW’s Domoic Acid Fishery Closure Information Line at (831) 649-2883.

For the latest consumption warnings, call the California Department of Public Health’s Biotoxin information Line at (510) 412-4643 or toll-free at (800) 553-4133.

New Gray Wolf Pack Confirmed California has a new gray wolf pack in Tulare County, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) announced today. This is the Golden State’s southernmost pack and it is at least 200 air miles from the nearest known pack in northeastern California.

In July, CDFW received a wolf sighting report from a location in the Sequoia National Forest.

CDFW investigated the reported location, found wolf tracks and other signs of wolf presence, and collected 12 scat and hair samples from the immediate area for genetic testing.

CDFW’s Wildlife Forensics Laboratory performed DNA analysis to determine

if the samples were from wolf, as well as sex, coat color, individual identity, relation to one another and pack origin.

All 12 samples were confirmed gray wolf. The new pack consists of at least five individuals not previously detected in California, including one adult female, who is a direct descendant of California’s first documented wolf in the state in recent history, (OR7), and four offspring (two females, two males).

None of the samples collected came from an adult male, however the genetic profile from the offspring indicate that the breeding male is a descendant of the Lassen Pack.

Gray wolves are native

to California but were extirpated in the state by the 1920s.

In late 2011, OR7 crossed the state line to become the first wolf in nearly a century to make California part of his range before returning to Oregon to form the Rogue Pack.

Wolves are protected under California’s Endangered Species Act and are federally protected in California under the federal Endangered Species Act. It is illegal to intentionally kill or harm wolves in the state. For more information and to report potential sightings, please visit CDFW’s Gray Wolf Program webpage at wildlife.ca.gov/ Conservation/Mammals/ Gray-Wolf.
