Eight more deaths linked to COVID Knox Keranen The Triplicate

The death toll in Del Norte County from the COVID-19 virus has risen to 18; with eight of those deaths occurring since August 13. As of press time, 25 are hospitalized due to the virus.

Additionally, the county reported 139 new cases over the weekend, bringing the active case total

to 417 — yet another pandemic high for Del Norte. There were also 17 new incarcerated cases, which moves the active case count among inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison to 49. Currently, Pelican Bay has the most active cases of COVID-19 among California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities.

The newly appointed Public Health Officer for Del Norte

County Dr. Aaron Stutz outlined the dire situation in the county and at Sutter Coast Hospital, where he works as an emergency physician.

“We have 22 admitted COVID patients out of 38 admitted patients at the hospital as a whole.

We have nine COVID patients in the ICU, seven of whom are intubated on ventilators. We have six more COVID patients in the emergency department that are

waiting to be admitted,” said Stutz during a Tuesday county board of supervisors meeting.

According to Stutz, the hospital had three available beds in the emergency department on Friday, but that number shrank to just one by Monday.

“It was a frustrating situation; you just can’t run an emergency department like that. People can’t get seen for their normal issues

that are outside of COVID, or even if they have COVID, they can’t get seen in the emergency department,” said Stutz.

Stutz said the majority of COVID patients being admitted to the hospital are younger than 65 years old, and recently they saw their first pediatric hospitalization since the beginning of

After months of long delays to clean up and shore up Highway 101 at Last Chance Grade, the road will mostly reopen this week.

Long closures ending at Last Chance Grade Knox Keranen The Triplicate

Long closures at Last Chance Grade will finally come to an end this Monday.

The small stretch of Highway 101 between Crescent City and Klamath, known as Last Chance Grade, has been hampered with long work closures since a landslide swept over the road in February. In July, CalTrans extended daily closures from two

to four hours in an effort to speed up the clean-up operation — a move that worked according to Sebastian Cohen, project manager with CalTrans.

“We’ve met our goal of removing all of the material, which was the critical thing to do with these four-hour closures, the rest of the work can be done from a closed lane,” said Cohen. “It’s a challenging site with very limited room. We love to keep traffic going and we would have if we

could, but for everyone’s safety we had to do it this way.”

Remaining work at Last Chance includes completing the installation of a special mesh, which is designed to knit together the slope to prevent a future catastrophic slide, as well as catch any falling debris, according to Cohen. So, while the road will remain open to onelane traffic at all hours of the day, motorists should still expect up to 30-minute delays.

What’s more, a separate project just a couple hundred feet away from the landslide cleanup is expected to wrap sometime in the fall of 2022, meaning, Last Chance Grade could open up to two-lane traffic for the first time since 2014.

While the end of long work closures will come as a relief to many Del Norte residents, the fix is not meant to be long-term.

An autopsy report for Tamera Sanders — a local woman whose body was discovered in a burned down barn in May — raises more questions than answers.

The body of 29-year-old Sanders was discovered by sheriff’s deputies following a fire at a barn on Bertsch Avenue and Howland Hill Road.

Since then, the Del Norte Sheriff’s Office has been investigating the suspicious death.

According to the autopsy report, which the Triplicate recently obtained, Sanders died due to carbon monoxide poisoning from smoke inhalation.

However, the state medical examiner could not conclude whether her death was malicious or accidental — leaving the manner of death “undetermined.” The examiner did conclude methamphetamines were present in Sanders’ system during her death.

The report also reveals more details from the night of the incident.

According to the report, the building was completely engulfed in flames around midnight on May 2. Around that time the owner of the building, Please see SANDERS, Page A2

The Del Norte Warriors will bring a lot of experience to the field when they open the season Friday.

Experience key for the Warriors as they prepare for season opener

By Ray Hamill The Triplicate

The Del Norte Warriors will kick off the new high school football season on Friday night, with Enterprise High traveling to Crescent City for varsity and JV games.

This year’s Del Norte varsity squad features plenty of experience, with seven of last season’s 10 all-league selections back with the team.

That group includes senior

first-team all-league selection Sam Schauerman, who is expected to anchor both lines for the Warriors and is described as “arguably the best lineman in the league” by head coach Nick White.

The third-year varsity player will be joined on the offensive line by fellow seniors Trevor Freeman and Konner Price, as well as junior Jacob Dane, all three of whom were all-league honorable mentions last season.

Another senior, Aidan Thomas,

rounds out the starting offensive line, with senior Hunter Giddings getting the nod at tight end.

It’s a unit that has been a traditional strength for the Warriors and one that is expected to be so again this fall, as they look to play a physical brand of football and establish the run first.

“We’re going to do what we do and see what happens,” White said. “Every kid is a little bit better at each position.”

backs are expected to see significant minutes, including returning senior Caleb Dodson, who was an all-league first-team selection last season, as well as juniors Giancarlo Desolenni and RJ Loftin, each of whom was an all-league honorable mention last season.

The experience of having so many players back from last year already looks like it’s paying dividends.

“The kids have definitely taken a step up as leaders, with their

execution and their confidence,” White said. “Everything that goes along with having a year under your belt.”

The Warriors will also try to establish a physicality on defense, with Schauerman and the rest of the line once again expected to set the tone.

“It’s going to be a group effort,” the head coach said of his defense. “We have a good Please see WARRIORS, Page A5

who lived nearby, allegedly heard a woman screaming.

Sanders’ was a known homeless resident of the community, and according to local homelessness officials, she was also known by the alias, “Magica.” The sheriff’s office urges the public to come forward if they have any information regarding her death.

“Tamera may have been experiencing challenges towards the end of her life, but it is important to remember that she was a mother, daughter, loved one and friend,” wrote the sheriff’s office in a Facebook post last month.

“If you have any information that may help conclude this investigation and bring closure to her family, please contact the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office at 707464-4191. It should also be mentioned that if this case is determined to be a homicide, family and friends are offering a reward for information leading to a conviction.”

Earlier this year, though, CalTrans and other contributing agencies zeroed in on two possible solutions to the Last Chance Grade problem: Alternative F and Alternative X. Alternative F proposes a half mile tunnel into the slope intended to avoid the landslide hazard altogether.

While the tunnel carries a hefty price tag with an estimated $1.3 billion in construction costs, it would also have the smallest environmental footprint out of the remaining alternatives, according to CalTrans.

The estimated construction

The proposed tunnel would be similar in length and features to the Tom Lantos Tunnels at Devil’s Slide on Highway 1, south of Pacifica in San Mateo County, California.

Alternative X is a cheaper solution, and a little more complex.

Alternative X proposes an “end-to-end” re-engineering of the current alignment of Highway 101, intended to mitigate the landslide hazard. A re-engineering would include moving the road slightly east in key locations, dewatering the slope to minimize movement, additional retaining walls,

and regrading the adjacent hillside to a flatter angle.

The estimated price tag for Alternative X is $500 million and the estimated construction schedule is 3 and a half years.

Del Norte County Supervisor Bob Berkowitz said he’s skeptical of both remaining alternatives.

“I don’t put faith in either one of them,” he said.

Berkowitz said the state will probably not fund a project as expensive as Alternative F, and Alternative X seems unlikely to fix the inherent problems at Last Chance.

“It has a history of swallowing into the ocean and killing people,” he said.

“I wanted something that

was going to be reasonably priced, do-able and to prevent the slides we’ve had for the last 20-30 years.”

However, Cohen argued Alternative X is not “more of the same.”

“I’ve been starting to repeat that as much as I can to the board of supervisors and anyone that’s interested because it is a much more significant repair strategy,” said Cohen. “We have a laundry list of tools and techniques that we are considering at all locations for the entire length of Last Chance Grade. So, there are a lot of things to be determined on exactly what we do with X, but it’s an alternative that has everything

under the sun in it.”

Cohen said the key to Alternative X’s success is dewatering the slope using drainage tunnels, also called adits.

“If you can get rid of the water, you can have a significant impact on stabilization,” he said.

Whatever the long-term solution may be, Berkowitz said Crescent City likely missed out on many tourism dollars this summer due to the most recent work closures.

“Having a long-term closure prevents a lot of people, who would come on Highway 101, now picking Highway 5 just because it has been too difficult to get through on 101.”

Right now, CalTrans is predicting construction on a long-term solution to Last Chance to begin around 2030.

Since 1997, landslide repair costs at Last Chance alone have cost more than $100 million. However, a one-year full closure of US 101 caused by a landslide, could mean much worse, including: ● $650 thousand per day in travel costs for commercial and passenger vehicles—$240 million each year ● $450 million in reduced output in Del Norte County ● 3,800 jobs lost ● $145 million in lost wages annually

“That patient was flown out to a pediatric facility in the Bay Area and is in critical condition,” said Stutz. “For those people in the community who tend to play down the danger of COVID for younger people, I would say it is a very real threat.”

During the meeting, Supervisor Valerie Starkey asked Stutz if the county public health department had maintained contact tracing efforts, as she heard some COVID-positive res-

Congressmembers Huffman and Lieu participated in a tour of The Marine Mammal Center, followed by a roundtable discussion moderated by Carol Costello with Dr. Jeff Boehm, chief executive officer of The Marine Mammal Center, and Dr. Cara Field, medical director of The Marine Mammal Center, on the importance of the ocean in the fight against climate change.

Despite receiving five additional contact tracing workers from the state, Stutz admitted the county has fallen behind on tracing due to the overwhelming surge.

“At a time like this it does become extremely difficult to perform adequate contact tracing...Once we progress beyond a certain number of cases per day, it becomes almost impossible to track down all the contacts of all the positive cases,” he said.

Starkey also asked Stutz about monoclonal antibody treatment — a

“The California Coastal Caucus will be a platform for addressing coastal issues our state will face, many of which are driven by the climate crisis. The Caucus will provide a space where members, stakeholder groups, and constituents can discuss these issues, identify solutions, and determine a swift course of action. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Caucus on these pressing issues.”

“I am thrilled to announce the launch of the California Coastal Caucus, and grateful to The Marine Mammal Center for hosting us today to discuss the

potential treatment for mild and moderate cases of COVID-19.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful antigens such as viruses. Sotrovimab is a monoclonal antibody that is specifically directed against the spike protein of COVID-19, and is designed to block the virus’ attachment and entry into human cells. The FDA approved emergency use of monoclonal therapy for COVID-19 in May. Stutz said the Sutter Coast Community Clinic has begun offering mono-

importance of our oceans and marine life,” said Co-Chair Rep. Lieu. “California is home to 840 miles of Pacific coastline and has the highest coastal population in the nation with over 26 million people living in coastal counties.

The ocean is critically important to the people I represent in CA33, as it provides work, food, and enjoyment to my constituents.

Tragically, our oceans, marine life, beaches, and coastlines are in grave danger due to the existential threat of climate change.

Now is the time for bold action.

I’m pleased to join my co-chair, Representative Brownley, and Representative Huffman today to announce the formation of the California Coastal Caucus and look forward to working together to develop policies to effectively

Nevertheless, he said monoclonal treatment of COVID-19 is questionable.

“It’s controversial in the health world as to its efficacy,” said Stutz. “I don’t want to promote the therapy in place of just getting the vaccine; the vaccine is much more preventative and much more effective.

[Monoclonal therapy] is something for if you’ve already had COVID, or had a significant exposure such that you’re likely to get COVID and that you have significant medical problems to boot.”

“As representative of Ventura County with its 42 miles of coastline, I am proud to join the California Coastal Caucus, which will focus legislative efforts on the myriad of challenges and issues facing coastal communities,” said Co-Chair Rep. Brownley. “From rising oceans, which threaten local community infrastructure, to ocean acidification and pollution, which threaten our local fisheries and tourism industries, Congress must tackle coastal policy head-on. The Coastal Caucus will provide us an opportunity to work together – across the various committees that we each sit on – to advance policy that will protect our coastlines for future generations.”

and vaccines at the community clinic during the same hours.

Supervisor Gerry Hemmingsen asked Stutz about other controversial treatments such as ivermectin, a medicine commonly used to treat parasites in livestock.

Stutz said there is some evidence of ivermectin being effective in fighting COVID, however, there is still not enough data to fully support those claims.

“Most physicians would be willing to give patients medication like this if there was concrete data showing that it would help their medical situation. We’re not generally swayed very much by the commercialism and the politics, we just want to see concrete data in place before we start giving mysterious medication to

people,” said Stutz.

According to local public health officials, the most effective method to prevent contraction of COVID-19 is to get the vaccine, yet the vaccination rate in Del Norte County is among the lowest in the state, with 42% of people fully vaccinated.

In neighboring Humboldt County, 51.7% of the population is fully vaccinated.

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control recommended vaccine booster shots for immunocompromised individuals who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. The CDC also said eligibility for booster shots would open up to all individuals who received the Pfizer or Moderna shot this fall, with individuals becoming eligible eight months after they received their second dose.

It looks like Americans are starting to ignore mask mandates. Good.

By Thomas L. Knapp We’re still hearing a lot about “mask mandates” in COVID-19 era America, but my experiences (and those of acquaintances) over the last few days suggest that the supposed mandates have functionally become mere advisories.

In my opinion, that’s a good thing. Generally speaking, we’re all better off when personal health decisions are left to individuals than when government presumes to make those decisions for everyone.

Many Americans began voluntarily donning masks when “public health authorities” were still yelling at us not to, and drastically reducing our outings and interactions before governments started trying to put us all (well, all of us toffs who could stay home and watch Netflix while “essential” peons delivered our groceries) under house arrest. Policy is a trailing, not leading, indicator.

Grain of salt warning: “The plural of the word anecdote,” Kenneth Kernaghan and P. K. Kuruvilla wisely noted in 1982, “is not data.” I’m not equipped to conduct a nationwide, well-controlled, peer-reviewed study on the subject. I can only tell you what I’ve noticed and what others I know have seen.

New Mexico blogger Kent McManigal notes at “Hooligan Libertarian” that, although that state’s government has re-imposed its previous mask mandate, about 25% of shoppers seem to be ignoring it, and that stores aren’t hassling those shoppers about it.

I follow the news closely by profession, but I didn’t even notice when my county’ s government (Alachua County, Florida) re-imposed its mask mandate. My wife mentioned it to me just as we were about to

walk into our neighborhood grocery store.

I didn’t have a mask with me, and was about to return to the car, when I noticed two things: First, the store hadn’t put up signs at the door advising shoppers of the re-imposed mandate. Those signs had been there throughout the first mandate. Second, looking through the door, I could see unmasked shoppers inside, and nobody appeared to be giving them any trouble.

So, I just went in. My experience matched Kent’s. More than half the shoppers were masked, but nobody gave the unmasked so much as a cross look.

On our next outing, I brought a mask with me, just in case.

At one store, the proprietor had been clear through the pandemic that it was not his job to enforce county mask mandates.

The county government sign wasn’t back up, and the “masks optional” sign still was.

I shopped unmasked without incident.

At another, the county government sign WAS up, but I saw not a single employee, and only a few customers, wearing masks.

When in Rome ...

A third store had its own - not government-printed or referencing any law - “masks required” sign. I masked up, went inside, and noticed that most (not all) customers were complying, and that nobody was beating anyone up over it.

I don’t much care whether people choose to wear masks or not. If it makes you feel better, knock yourself out.

But it’s good to see Americans deciding for themselves instead of just doing as they’re told.

They could breathe it in.

It is important to have policies that ban smoking in buildings like apartments because it could travel through the vents and through the air. I believe that to protect people from secondhand smoke, the president could ban smoking in buildings and by people.

-Annabelle W., age 11 A horrible thing Secondhand smoke is a horrible thing because children who live with smokers have to suffer from the consequences as well. It can cause ear

infection and types of cancer. It’s important to have policies that ban smoking in multi-unit homes because the secondhand smoke can travel through air vents polluting other people’s houses. I believe that to protect people from secondhand smoke, smoking should be banned all together..

-Finn B., age 12 Support infrastructure bill All Californians will benefit if the House passes the bipartisan infrastructure bill approved by the Senate.

It gives Congress a once-in-a-generation opportunity to promote drought resiliency, adjust to climate change, protect the environment, mitigate wildfires, maintain a safe, healthy, local food supply and ensure communities have the water they need for their homes

and businesses.

This balanced package expands our capacity to capture and store water in wet years for use in dry ones; repairs the existing water infrastructure that delivers the water we have; provides rural and disadvantaged communities with access to clean water; and allows us to “Build Back Better” by investing in green infrastructure, recycling, and desalination.

Making our water supply more reliable will protect our environment, our citizens, and the farms providing more than half of our fruits, nuts, and vegetables.

We urge Representative Jared Huffman and the entire California delegation to support this critical legislation.

We are in our early 40s now. She’s married; I’m divorced. Two years after my divorce, she introduced me to a nice man I’ll call “Don.” Don and I have grown closer. He recently told Carolyn how he feels about me and that he wants to marry me.

After he told her, Carolyn started sending him messages letting him know that she is attracted to him. She even told him some confidential things about me that I shared only with her. Don has shown me the messages she sent and told her he feels uncomfortable about her coming on to him. She dismissed it as “joking.” I plan to spend the rest of my life with Don.

I’d be devastated if another family member kept this kind of information from me. Or would telling them be selfish on my part? I mean, why worry them? -WAFFLING OUT WEST DEAR WAFFLING: I’m sorry for your diagnosis. I hope you realize, because you have been around this track before, that you may beat this again. Because you want and need the support of your family, please let them know what has been going on. Doing that is NOT “selfish.” If your cancer does not respond to treatment, how do you think they would feel that you had kept the news from them? Tell your father and your children so they can support you through this. As to your ostrich of a sister who “doesn’t like bad news,” allow her to continue living in ignorance. She would be of little, if any, help to you during this stressful time. I wish you all the best.

It feels like an apocalypse in the Southwest — wildfires, floods, drought, heat, smoke. This was not the norm when I moved to Colorado 35 years ago.

Climate scientists may have predicted the arrival of these extreme events, but many admit their predictions have come true faster than they expected.

One outcome they pinpointed was the impact of heat and drought on water flows in the Colorado River.

For the last 20 years this new climate, combined with booming human population growth, has parched landscapes, drained reservoirs and incited talk of water wars across the region. Lake Powell on the Colorado River, and Glen Canyon Dam which creates the reservoir, have become casualties of this strained environment.

Lake Powell is the second largest reservoir in the United States, but in the last year alone its water level has dropped 52 feet and the reservoir now sits at 31.4% full.

If you’re a pessimist, that’s over 68% empty. Water managers are already imposing cuts in water deliveries in some states; all their choices are filled with political pitfalls.

A further complication is that the federal government operates a hydroelectric plant at Glen Canyon Dam that provides cheap electricity to parts of the Southwest. The day is coming when the hydroelectric turbines will stop for want of water to spin them.

Upstream of Lake Powell, in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico are millions of acres of irrigated farms and ranches that suck massive amounts of water out of the Colorado River before it reaches Lake Powell. If those farms and ranches quit taking water and instead ran that water downstream, the lake and its electricity could be saved. To ensure that outcome, the federal government has hatched a plan it calls “demand management,” which proposes to buy or lease massive amounts of farm and ranch water to prop up Lake Powell.

On the one hand, the farmers and ranchers would get paid for the water, and likely paid very well. If I were a rancher who owned water, I’d sit comfortably until the offering price for my water made me even more comfortable.

On the other hand, lots of people and businesses believe that irrigated farming, ranching and outdoor recreation are not only central to the region’s economy, but also to its culture.

Should that economy —

and the soul of the Southwest — be sacrificed to save a manmade reservoir and its hydroelectricity?

I’m torn by this dilemma. If farms and ranches are dried up, more water flows down the river. More water in the river benefits fish and the environment.

But there’s another solution: We can save farms and ranches and instead drain Lake Powell, freeing the Colorado River to flow free through 169 miles of a drowned and beautiful place called Glen Canyon.

There’s always the “save hydroelectricity” argument, but it’s a red herring. There are other ways to generate electricity, including wind and solar. In fact, if you’ve ever stood near Glen Canyon Dam and its hydropower plant, you can’t help noticing that it’s surrounded by millions of acres of dry, sun-drenched landscape that would make a great place for a solar electricity farm.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

POLICE BLOTTER The police blotter is a public record of incidents as reported by law-enforcement agencies. All individuals arrested or charged with a crime are innocent until proven guilty. The information printed is preliminary and subject to change.

Excerpts from the call log of the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Department.

Wednesday, August 18

● At 8:00 a.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to the 2400 block of Nickel Avenue after a caller reported that fuel was siphoned out of her vehicle. ● At 8:47 a.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to Highway 199 and South Fork Road after a caller reported some items were stolen from her trailer. ● At 9:58 a.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to the 300 block of Cochran Lane after a caller reported someone violated a restraining order by contacting him via Facebook. ● At 6:27 p.m. police responded to the 1000 block of Front Street after a caller reported a man was going

mix of kids returning and it’s going to start with the defensive line.”

White and his players have been practicing for the past two-and-a-half weeks and scrimmaged against McKinleyville on Friday night.

“I was very happy with our effort and our aggressiveness,” the head coach said afterwards. “As far as execution goes, some plays were good and some plays not so good.”

Junior Cooper Maxwell will start at quarterback.

Enterprise, meanwhile, will make the trip to Crescent City for the season opener, and White is expecting a tough matchup for his players right out of the gate.

“They have a talented group of kids,” he said after watching some game film

through the dumpster. ● At 7:35 p.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to Highway 101 after a caller reported a man was arguing with himself and waving a knife around. ● At 10:42 p.m. police responded to the 200 block of M Street after a caller reported a man was climbing onto the roof of a business.

Thursday, August 19

● At 3:11 a.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to Highway 197 and Low Divide Road after a caller reported hearing gunshots in the area. The caller believed it could have been poachers. ● At 5:37 a.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to the 1700 block of Arlington Drive after a caller reported seeing a vehicle drive behind the school and then a flare was lit. ● At 11:39 a.m. police responded to M and Front Street after a caller reported having ongoing issues with a person driving recklessly in the area. ● At 12:55 p.m. sheriff’s deputies responded to the earlier this week. “They’re athletic and they have a lot of returners like us.”

This year, the Warriors will play six league games instead of the usual three, with home and away matchups against their three conference opponents.

Interestingly, all four conference teams are now in the Division-5 bracket in the North Coast Section, and White expects all four to be in the mix for the playoffs.

“Like it is every year, you take it one game at a time in league. There’s very good teams and very good coaching in our league,” he said. “I expect three of the four teams — and I don’t know which three — or all four to make the playoffs. I think it’s that talented a league.”

The Warriors were 2-2 during the COVID shortened spring season, with a 1-2 record in the Big 4.

Padilla, Feinstein push for major disaster declaration On Monday, U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein and Representative Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) sent a letter to President Biden in support of Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for a major disaster declaration for California in response to a series of devastating wildfires, including the largest single-fire in California history, the Dixie Fire.

“These large fires come during a time of dangerous fire conditions, including extreme drought, dry fuels, low humidity, and high

winds. The explosion of fire activity this season has resulted in an immense strain on California’s resources and firefighting capabilities,” the members wrote.

While California is instituting all possible actions at its disposal to combat these fires, it is increasingly difficult for the State and local governments to obtain the necessary resources to respond to these fires,” the members continued. “The size and scope of these fires require additional assistance, coordination, and federal action.”

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 094721-CA. 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 094721-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.

Tree rings from old growth Douglas firs on the Oregon Coast show evidence of 1700 tsunami

By Michelle Klampe Core samples taken from a stand of old growth Douglas-fir trees in the South Beach area just south of Newport showed reduced growth following the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck the Pa-

cific Northwest in 1700.

The physical evidence from the Douglas-fir tree rings confirms modeling that depicts the reach of the January 1700 quake, which was the last major earthquake to hit the Cascadia Subduction Zone, said Robert Dziak,

a Hatfield Marine Science Center-based scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.

“The tsunami appears to be the event that most affected the trees’ growth that year,” said Dziak, whose work includes ocean acoustic studies, signal analysis and tsunami modeling. He also holds a courtesy appointment in Oregon State University’s College of Earth, Ocean,

and Atmospheric Sciences.

“Getting these little bits of the picture helps us understand what we might expect when the next ‘big one’ hits.”

The findings were published recently in the journal Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences.

The idea for the study dates back more than a decade; Dziak was aware of past research that had shown evidence of the 1700 quake in trees in Washington, and thought

it might be worth seeing if similar evidence existed in Oregon.

The first challenge was finding a stand of old growth Douglas-firs in the tsunami inundation zone.

The researchers looked at a few places before locating the stand in Mike Miller Park in South Beach, about two kilometers south of Yaquina Bay and 1.2 kilometers east of the present-day ocean shoreline.

“We’re not sure why this tree stand wasn’t logged

over the years, but we’re very fortunate to have a site so close to the coastline that has survived,” said coauthor Bryan Black of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

A new and updated tsunami model run by the researchers as part of the study shows that the area could have been inundated by up to 10 meters of water in the 1700 tsunami event, said Dziak.

Jessie

Vera

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Perez

September 16, 1940 - August 13, 2021

Our family has lost our La Reyna ‘Granny’ of Smith River

Our beloved Mother and Grandmother has gone home to be with the Lord.

Jessie Perez Vera was born September 16, 1940 to Ramon & Aurelia Perez in Stockton, CA. Jessie grew up in Stockton, where her father worked as a foreman at a peach orchard.

She then moved to Klamath, CA in 1959 with her parents, where they operated a Mexican Restaurant called “La Paloma”. When the 1964 flood struck the old townsite, it destroyed the restaurant. Her parents relocated to Alaska but Jessie stayed in Klamath. While in Klamath, she met her future husband, Humberto H. Vera. They married in 1961 and before Humberto’s passing in 2008, they celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary.

Jessie and Humberto had four children, Yolanda, Humberto Jr., Raymond, and Susan.

Jessie worked various jobs in the Del Norte County area in the bulb fields, pulling plywood for Hambros/Standard Veneer, and shaking crab with one of her best friends, Carol Joyce Steele, at Eureka Fisheries.

She found her true calling as a mom and homemaker as Humberto worked for the Simonsin Mill. She loved to sew, making blankets and scarves. She became the consummate seamstress, even making dresses and vests for the grandkids. She was always looking for the perfect hat to add to her collection. She loved to collect angel figurines and dolls.

In Jessie’s later years, she was affectionately known as ‘Granny’. She would even introduce herself to someone new by saying, “just call me Granny!”

Granny loved to party! She was always the best dressed with the best hair, but was not afraid to roll up her sleeves and help wherever she was needed. Granny loved all kinds of music but not just to listen- she had to dance! At many family events, Granny seemed to be on the dance floor for every song, dancing the night away.

She will truly be missed, for her love and her kindness. She always welcomed everyone, making sure you were having a good time and had enough to eat.

Jessie passed away on August 13, 2021 and is preceded in death by her parents Ramon & Aurelia Perez, Baby Brother Ventura, and her husband Humberto H. Vera. She is survived by her children Yolanda Romero (Ernesto), Humberto Vera Jr. (Tamila Meyer), Raymond Vera, Susan Rutledge (John), Ten GrandChildren and Five Great-Grand-Children, and numerous other relatives and friends.

Farewell, Granny

Viewing Saturday August 28 from 12-4pm at Weir’s Mortuary.

A formal service will be held in September.
