Sheriff: Up to 10 structures destroyed in blaze

What’s next for Del Norte County?

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Sheriff Garrett Scott has reported an estimated eight to ten structures, some described as residential homes have been destroyed by Smith River Complex fires. Sheriff Scott identified Little Jones Creek Road which turns into Forest Road 17N08 is the site hit by many of the fires.

“Many of these structures are off the power grid in extremely remote locations, “ said the sheriff.

The sheriff reports no deaths related to the fires have occurred.

Scott expressed cautious optimism progress in containing the fires.

“It’s all about the winds which are unpredictable” he said.

“Significant progress on the California side of the fires has been made. The Illinois Valley side in

Sutter Coast Hospital City seeks grant to continue eccentric art display Pharmacy placed on probation

The California Department of Pharmacy has placed Sutter Coast Hospital Pharmacy on a three year probation, beginning July 23.

The violation of proper sanitary protocols occurred in 2019 and involved compounding practices and procedures. Compounding medication is a process to fit a unique need of a patient that cannot be met with a commercially available product. The Sutter Coast sanitary violation has long since been corrected.

The City Council approved two items, last week: one was approval to seek a Coast Central Credit Union grant for up to $25,000; The other action was to adjust the city budget $4250 to accommodate this expenditure. The vote to allocate these funds narrowly passed 3-2, with Councilor Jason Greenough, Mayor Pro Tem Blake Inscore and Mayor Isaiah Wright voting YES and councilors Kelley Schellong and Ray Altman casting NO votes.

For two decades, the eccentric Ukrainian artist displayed his works on Highway 101, South Beach. Polyanin left his collection, then relocated to Chicago where he currently resides.

Reigning Big 5 MVP expecting big things from the Warriors even further by trying out for the Rise National 18U team out of Medford, one of the most respected travel team programs on the West Coast.

She could have played for the Rise 17U team, but instead opted to try out for the club’s 18U squad, and it was a move that paid off.

“I decided to go with the 18U team even though I knew I wouldn’t get as much playing time,” Curtis said. “Despite not playing as much, I knew I would get a lot better playing with the 18U.” That experience, she feels, has helped her prepare for the high school season, with the Warriors looking to successfully defend the Big 5 championship they won last year.

“I would say I gained a lot of experience with the mental side of volleyball, and getting to read the court more,” she said. “And getting to defend against hitters

BY RAY HAMILL For The Triplicate

The Reigning Big MVP in volleyball seems determined to close out her high school career with a bang.

In fact, she’s been busy preparing for her final high school season for much of the year.

With eyes on taking her talents to the college courts after graduating from Del Norte in 2024, senior McKenna Curtis embraced a whole new challenge this year to help prepare herself for the upcoming season.

“I realized I wanted to play volleyball in college and I knew if I really wanted to do that I had to play travel volleyball this year,” Curtis said.

With that in mind, the talented multi-sport standout, who was the starting pitcher for the Warriors softball team as a sophomore, opted to not play softball in 2023 in order to play travel volleyball.

And she challenged herself

OBITUARIES Jane Duff Cain

Greg Allen Minor

12/11/1930 - 7/9/2023

4/26/1951 - 7/22/2023

Jane Duff Cain, 92, of Crescent City, CA and most recently Brookings, OR, passed away July 9, 2023. Jane was the youngest of four, born December 11, 1930, to Louis Dunlop Duff, Sr, and Cyra Sweet Duff of Kansas City, MO. She graduated from Southwest High School where she was a proud member of the basketball team and swimming club and vice president of both the school choir and literary magazine.

Jane graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia where she was an active participant of Kappa Alpha Theta. This began her lifelong commitment to volunteering which included stints as President of the Junior League of Princeton, NJ in 197071 and President of the Women’s Club of Crescent City, CA in 2015-16. Jane was also a successful businesswoman throughout her career, initially as a real estate agent in various places she lived (Kansas City, San Diego, and San Francisco) and then as the founder of Almost Like a Daughter, which provided personal services for the elderly and disabled for

over three decades.

Known for her decisive wit as well as her ability to count, Jane was an avid bridge enthusiast, skilled seamstress and talented knitter. Her dogs were constant and loyal companions. Jane had a keen ear, loved to sing and was one of the founding members of the Grace Notes, an a cappella group on Old Greenwich, CT and sang in various a cappella groups across the country.

Jane is predeceased by her former husband, John Joseph Cain, and her youngest daughter, Cyra Jane Cain, as well as her sister Sibyl Duff Tilson and brother Louis D. Duff.

She is survived by her sister Cyra Duff Sanborn of Lexington, MA, her children, Constance Cain of Crescent City, CA and Douglas Cain of San Francisco, CA and her grandson Nathanael (Laura) of Bend, OR and her great grandchildren.

Jane was beloved by various nieces and nephews scattered around the country, including Athelia Ann Tilson of Watertown, MA, Sibyl Louise Tilson of Alexandria, VA, Patricia Woodbury Miller of Prairie Village, KS, Cyra Sanborn

Dumitru of San Antonio, TX, Peter Sanborn of Lexington, MA, and Noel Sanborn of Palo Alto, CA. Jane brought color and energy to the lives of those she loved.

The family would like to thank the staff at Bright Creek, the memory care unit of Sea View Senior Living for the wonderful loving care she received there, especially Ruby Howard, Karen Rickerson, Barbara Jimenez RN, and Jordan Landers. Also, thanks to Glenda Vierow for previous care.

Services will be private.

In lieu of flowers those who wish to honor Iane’s memory may do so by contributing to the Puli Club of America or a dog rescue in your area or to the Brookings Presbyterian Church.

Greg Allen Minor, age 72, died peacefully in his sleep at his apartment in Crescent City, CA. Greg was born to Allen Steele Minor and Ruth Adena Minor in Burbank, CA. Greg spent his childhood in the San Fernando Valley until moving with his family to the SF Bay Area (Cupertino) in 1964.

After graduating from high school in 1969, Greg took several courses at nearby De Anza Community College, focusing on art, humanities, and photography. In the earlymid 70s Greg heard the call to join a commune in Berkeley to explore alternative philosophical and spiritual perspectives on life. After his communal experience, he worked a variety of different jobs over the next 30 years, including as a security guard and delivery courier.

In 1982, Greg moved back into the family home in Cupertino, where he lived for the next 35 years. At the age of 40, Greg was diagnosed with diabetes,

a major setback that adversely affected him for the rest of his adult life.

He worked his final job of 10+ years at Enterprise Car Rental, where he was a car detailer and driver.

Greg assisted Allen, whose health was declining, until Allen moved into a care facility. Desiring to get away from the traffic, crowds, summer heat, and expense of the Bay Area, and live on the coast, Greg retired in 2017 and moved to Crescent City. Despite his recent declining health due to diabetes, Greg’s happiest years of his life were spent there, where he enjoyed walking along the shore, breathing in the cool sea air, and gazing from his apartment at the winter storm waves crashing into the pier in the harbor as the gale-driven rains pelted his window. Greg will be missed and remembered by family and friends for his laugh and smile.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents and survived by his sister Linda Morris (Michael), brother

Scott Minor (Kathleen), one niece, 4 nephews, and their families.

A memorial-celebration of Greg’s life will take place on Friday, September 8, 2023, at the B-Street Pier at 2:00 pm in Crescent City, followed by a gathering at nearby SeaQuake Brewing Co. at 3:00 pm, where Greg spent many happy hours and made new friends.

Harold Lloyd Glover 4/27/1941 - 8/13/2023

Harold Lloyd Glover, loving husband, father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather passed away peacefully August 13, 2023, at the age of 82 years old.

Harold proudly served our country in the Navy as a Cryptologic Technician from 1959-1964 and from 1965-1985 before his employment at the California Department of Corrections from 1986-1995. Harold loved sports and played softball until his 80th birthday.

Throughout his life, Harold enjoyed being a mentor to many.

Harold loved more than anything being around his family. One of his greatest

joys was playing games with his great grandkids.

He was the kind of man that would give the shirt off his back, lend a helping hand, offer help in a time of need and the list could go on for miles.

He was an amazing mentor. Always had the best advice to give anyone that came to him.

Harold is survived by his loving wife Judith Glover, son Elwin “Donald” Gill, daughters Tracy Stokes and Dina (Richard) Helm, brothers Leroy (Jean) and Jack Glover, 6 Grandchildren, 6 Great-Grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his

sister Geraldine Jones and parents Reuben and Opal Glover.

cussed options for what the city would do with Polyanin works.

In August of last year, staff photographed, catalogued and inventoried 914 pieces of the Polyanin collection and valued the capital asset at $694,500.

In February, utilizing funds from the Economic Development budget, which included $1500 of received donations, the city developed, organized and presented the Polyanin collection on the First Friday event from May and ending this October.

With the ultimate goal of establishing the former bank building into the new city hall, time is limited.

A Preservation Committee was organized with a vested interest in finding a new home for the collection. Committee goals are: • Where will the art go after the construction of City Hall begins?

• Who will pay for the future costs of storing or exhibiting the work?

• Who will staff or manage the collection?

The City has and continues to consult with several individuals including the Kohler Foundation

in Chicago in finding a new home for the avant-garde collection.

With the city poised to apply for the $25,000 grant with funds directed for leasing, utility and other related tenant costs, opposition for future funding from City resources is palpable.

The Coast Credit Union grant requires the recipient pay any costs upfront, then submit a request for reimbursement. If the city is awarded the grant, per lease terms of a prospective new site for storage or display, additional funding may be needed. According to Ashley Taylor, the City Economic Development and Recreation Director, the $4,250 expenditure for this project is estimat-

ed to include $2,500 for utilities, $1,200 for exhibition supplies and $500 for advertising and marketing.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is asking hunters to provide mountain quail samples for the California Conservation Genomics Project and for the department’s own genetic library.

This work is a continuation of a mountain quail study project initiated in the fall of 2022. CDFW will accept samples from throughout the native mountain quail range but is particularly interested in mountain quail from Southern California, including the following mountain ranges: Santa Lucia, Diablo, San Gabriel, San Bernardino, Santa Ana, Laguna, southern Sierra Nevada, Tehachapi and east toward the Cottonwood Mountains and Panamint Range.

Mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus) are challenging birds for bird watchers and hunters alike due to their secretive behavior within their preferred rugged, forested habitat.

Despite their flamboyant plumage and popularity, mountain quail are reclusive and are more often

heard than seen. Their shy nature means that biologists need more information to better understand and manage the species, the largest of all quail species in the United States.

CDFW is collecting samples to understand genetic diversity and population structure (how genetically different each subpopulation is from those surrounding it). If a subpopulation becomes isolated, it may be more susceptible to inbreeding, disease and sudden landscape changes like large-scale wildfires. When upland game bird biologists research a species’ population genetics and combine it with research on habitat use, breeding ecology and survival, they can better understand and manage the species.

CDFW is asking mountain quail hunters to submit a whole bird when possible. If this is not possible, CDFW will accept wings or organs (specifically hearts and livers), as the FREE FREE ESTIMATES! ESTIMATES!

goal is to extract DNA from the tissue. If hunters are lucky enough to harvest multiple mountain quail, be sure to keep the birds separate from each other. Vinyl gloves and Ziploc bags work well to avoid cross-contamination. Please keep samples frozen.

To submit mountain quail samples, ask questions or request more information about this research, please contact CDFW’s Upland Game Program by e-mail at uplandgamemgmt@wildlife.ca.gov.

CDFW will coordinate with hunters to receive the samples. CDFW will collect the hunter’s name, hunt location, date and catalog each sample but will not publish this information.

Quail seasons and a quail hunt zone map are available at CDFW’s Upland Game Bird Hunting webpage as well as the 2023-2024 California Waterfowl, Upland Game and Public Use of Department Lands Regulations booklet.

dollar amount yet to be quantified remains the legacy of the lightning-strike fires of August 14.

On the plus side of this act of Mother Nature, if there is one, a community came together to ease the pain of our neighbors and families during this event.

Through the Pacific Power mutual aid agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric, between 16-20 mega generators were in place within hours of the power cutoff. Daily consumption of fuel is averaging over 24,000 gallons of mostly diesel to power Del Norte County. PG&E Incident teams have provided maintenance pole insulation to protect the one and only power conduit.

Senator Mike McGuire’s promise, “you will have everything you’ll need,” was a fulfilled one. Water, Red Cross-provided temporary shelter, community resource centers established for showers and similar support services were expediently provided.

As conditions slowly improve and Del Norte County returns to some sort of normal, one may ask what are the expectations of those who work and live here.

Both city and county quickly passed emergency proclamations within hours of the power shutdown.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

That decision made by councilors and supervisors is turning out to be a prudent one because the county and to a lesser extent, the city, has a very challenging and ominous rainy season on the horizon.

During public comments at the August 22 Board of Supervisors meeting, speaker Sam Strait addressed supervisors and asked why there was no redundancy power line from Curry County just 20 miles away. For those of you who do not understand exactly what is redundancy, and that lack of understanding is quite prevalent, an emergency redundancy power line replaces the failed power conduit Pacific Power de-energized August 18 at 4:05 p.m.

Strait blamed the breakdown on the inability of the Golden State and the Beaver State to get along and maintain the redundant line. It’s actually a bit more complicated than squabbling inter-state politicians. Apparently, the cable connection between Oregon and California is not compatible.

In an uncharacteristic retort, a board member actually addressed Strait.

Supervisor Chris Howard responded by advising the community indeed, there was once a mutual aid agreement some two decades ago and upon Curry County electing to switch the power source to Coos-Curry Electric, the

redundant line disappeared in 2005 due to technical incompatibility. Howard spoke about a new conduit from Harbor to the power source in Ft. Dick, in introducing an emergency power line which would serve the mutual needs of each community, irrespective of the border.

He referenced the then-Tri Agency as being responsible for the successful completion of the alternate power conduit.

There was no reference

by Howard to place this item on the upcoming agenda for discussion or call for action.

Supervisor Valerie Starkey entered the public comment exchange by expressing her concern Pacific Power “needs to communicate better.”

After the meeting, The Triplicate contacted all supervisors requesting each share their concerns on the dire conditions which will undoubtedly affect road Photo by Mike Cuthbertson/For the Triplicate conditions on the nowAbove, the fire incident base near Gasquet houses the many firefighters and equipment that has come to Del bare hill landscape along Norte County to fight the Smith River Complex fires.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Guest Columns

Letters to the Editor No on 1302 Assemblymembers Tom Lackey, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora and Gail Pellerin have authored discriminatory legislation: Assembly Bill 1302.

AB 1302 has been promoted as a bill that will help people adopted in California to get copies of our Original Birth Certificates. Instead, AB 1302 will require adoptees to go to court (not vital records like non-adoptees) to request copies of our OBC’s. The bill also requires the permission of both of our biological parents to have their names remain on our copies of our OBC’s. If they don’t give permission, then their names are omitted from our Original Birth Certificates. Non-adoptees don’t have to ask permission from their biological parents to have their names remain on their OBC’s!!! Why do California legislators think that adult adoptees have to do this since our biological parents were never legally promised anonymity or privacy from us?

AB 1302 is treats adoptees as second class citizens and violates our constitutional rights as Americans.

I urge all of your readers to read the text of the bill for themselves on Legiscan and then ask these legislators to kill this dumpster fire of a bill.

IN MY VIEW

When Disasters Strike

I was in Visalia at the Executive Board meeting of the California Democratic Party when the power was shut off in Del Norte County. I stayed up late Saturday night to finish my Labor Day column in a place where I had power and internet before heading back on Sunday.

The Executive Board meeting ended early due to the impending impacts of Hurricane Hillary which was coming up from the south. I found myself wedged in between two natural disasters and headed north to escape the Mara Parker floods and return to the Trinidad fires at home.

Choosing profits over planet It is disheartening to acknowledge the evident truth: the fossil fuel industry was well aware of the impending climate change crisis, yet chose to prioritize their own profits over the welfare of our planet and its inhabitants.

The consequences of this disregard for science and human well-being are dire and far-reaching.

For decades, evidence of the connection between fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and global warming has been undeniable. Despite possessing this knowledge, some players within the industry opted to turn a blind eye, exploiting the earth’s resources for short-term financial gain. This calculated negligence illustrates a callous prioritization of greed over the preservation of our planet and the health of its inhabitants.

Moreover, the industry’s actions have not only led to environmental devastation but also contributed to social injustices. Indigenous communities and marginalized groups have borne the brunt of the environmental degradation caused by fossil fuel extraction and pollution. The violation of their rights and the disregard for their voices are stark reminders of the industry’s culpability.

Furthermore, the pursuit of profit has fueled conflicts and geopolitical tensions, as foreign wars were waged over access to oil reserves. Such actions not only exacerbate global instability but also exemplify the industry’s role in perpetuating violence and suffering.

We find ourselves at a critical juncture where there is an urgent need for accountability, responsibility, and change.

Transitioning to renewable energy sources and sustainable practices is not only an environmental imperative but also a moral one. The fossil fuel industry must be held accountable for its past actions and compelled to contribute to the solutions needed to combat climate change.

Know the signs September is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month.

National data shows that 58% of men and 33% of women who die by suicide used a firearm. averaging 54%. I don’t have firearm usage for California, but across the borer in Curry County in 2021, 72% of our deaths by suicide were by handguns. 50% of them women. Curry had as many women use a firearm as Washington County, with over 600,000 citizens and Clackamas and Deschutes Counties combined. This should be a wake-up call for City and County government AND all citizens.

I’ve talked with literally thousands of rural men about firearms and suicide throughout 26 Midwestern and Western states since 1995. I estimate roughly 70% of them said they owned a firearm, 40% of them bought one for home protection, and 30% kept one loaded in the house, most in the bedroom. I asked if they ever had to use a firearm in a home invasion? I have yet to have a man answer “Yes.”.

The reason I bring this up is that national statistics show that of the youth who die by suicide using a firearm, 78% of them found it in their home. That ‘s terrible odds to leave a firearm loaded or not locked up in these times of high depression and anxiety rates for our youth and seeing youth as young a five dying by suicide using a firearm.

Look for the “People who love guns love you” gun safety brochures at gun shops and the R U OK? brochures and crisis wallet cards at over 53 retail locations throughout Crescent City and 7 in Smith River. Find the locations at ZeroAttempts.org/partners.html to learn what people are saying, doing and going on in their lives and how to help. Suicide is preventable. Know to signs.

California Hurricanes It is highly unusual for a tropical storm to reach as far north as Los Angeles.

The last time this happened was more than eighty years ago, before we started feeling the weather effects of climate change. So, it is possible that this is just a rare, unrelated natural phenomenon.

However, if we consider how hurricanes are formed, it is more likely that this freak storm was related to the overheating of our planet. Hurricanes develop when ocean temperatures are at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is uncommon for the temperature to be this warm this far north.

Even after downgrading to Tropical Storm Hillary, the intense rain resulted in flash floods in southern California.

Some areas received over ten inches of rain in a 48-hour period. These areas were unable to absorb the extra rain and it flowed from the mountains

creating flooding in the low-lying areas.

Fire Impacts As I drove home, I hoped that some of this rain would blow north and help quench the wildfires in our backyard. But nature was not so accommodating. When I returned to my house, the power was out.

Since we have a private well, this meant that we also had no water.

In my absence, for three days my family adapted to these circumstances as did many other people in the county. The people that are hooked up to city water at least had water flowing into their homes. For us it meant importing water for drinking and other necessities after our stored water ran out.

On Monday, I was hauling water up to our house from a creek that is on our property, and it felt like a third world situation. This served as a reminder to appreciate all the amenities that we take for granted.

We had no power, internet, or water, but did have a roof. We were more fortunate than residents that had to evacuate.

Oregon Power One of the ways in which my family adapted to the closure of most businesses in our county was to cross the border to Oregon.

On the other side of an invisible line there was gas, power, phone, and internet.

This is the result of a quirk in our electrical grid.

You may recall that I highlighted this issue in a prior column (6/14/23), “Where does our power come from?” In this column I described how

we are on a power peninsula. There is only a single transmission line that provides power to Del Norte County.

“The Del Norte County power grid is not connected to Humboldt County, and I learned recently that our grid does not connect to Brookings either. This leaves us on a power peninsula jutting down from Oregon… This single connection to electricity leaves us vulnerable to power interruptions.”

Redundancy Needed Our county was ahead of the curve when the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority developed redundancy in our internet connectivity.

This means that we are connected from more than one direction. This is what we need with our electrical power service.

The logical choice is to reconnect the grid at the border near Brookings.

These two power grids used to be connected.

In 1961, Pacific Power and Light purchased the California Oregon Power Company which had service areas into southern Oregon and Northern California. Sometime after this acquisition the connection to Curry County was severed.

Today, north of the border, electricity is provided by the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative, a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative serving over 13,000 members and businesses in Coos and Curry Counties. They buy 100% of their power (83% from hydroelectric) from the Bonneville Power Administration.

We Can Work It Out Most of the economic impact of the wildfires on our community resulted from the power outage, not the fires. Homes and stores lost food with no refrigeration. Businesses could not open, and people could not work.

Wildfires are hard to predict and difficult to control once they start. We can’t prevent all wildfires.

However, there are steps we can take to mitigate the risk of future blackouts by addressing our vulnerability to the impacts of power outages. It will no doubt be challenging to accomplish this, but our elected leaders should be pushing hard to reconnect our grid to the north. We need power redundancy.

This seems like the type of large-scale regional project that would be perfect for Tri-Agency to work on. There is nothing more important to economic development than a reliable source of power.

The City, County, Harbor, School District, Tribes and others should make this a priority.

Be prepared in your neighborhood

By CONGRESSMAN JARED HUFFMAN

The active wildfires currently burning in the district and the devastating fire in Hawaii serve as timely reminders to be prepared for fires in your neighborhood. What we once considered fire seasons have become an all-year phenomenon. We must tackle this challenge head-on and make our communities more resilient for what’s ahead. As your Representative in Washington, I am doing everything within my power to reduce the threat of future disasters, and getting resources to the North Coast to help folks prepare for and recover from wildfires is a top priority.

I want to share with you the latest resources as well as an update on the work I’m doing to help keep you and your families safe from the growing threat of Gordon Clay fires in our district.

Brookings, Ore. Wildfire Resource Guide First, to help be prepared for a wildfire in your area, take a look at my Wildfire Resource Guide.

You’ll find information about evacuations, public shelters, and details about federal resources that may be available—like Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance and Small Business Administration loans.

Getting My Wildfire Priorities Signed into Law Last Congress I was able to make huge progress in my work to combat wildfires: portions of my Wildfire Defense Act were signed into law by President Biden in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Most significantly, the legislation led to the creation of a $1 billion Community Wildfire Defense Grant program, a valuable tool for helping at-risk communities, tribes, and state forestry agencies prepare for and alleviate wildfire hazards. I’m pleased to share that our district is already benefiting directly from this program: the Briceland Volunteer Fire Department, Del Norte Fire Safe Council, Humboldt County Resource Conservation District, Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation, and the City of Ukiah were among the recipients for these grants.

My FIRE Act – which I led alongside Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Senator Alex Padilla – was also signed into law. This will be a game changer for FEMA, allowing the agency to respond faster to the risks of catastrophic wildfires, better prioritize the needs of survivors, and improve partnerships with tribal governments.

Combatting Climate Change with the Inflation

Reduction Act Getting serious about the threat of wildfires requires bold, meaningful climate action- full stop. Last August, President Joe Biden signed the historic Inflation Reduction Act into law, which includes the biggest investments in climate action in American history.

This new law will reduce planet-warming carbon pollution by 40% within this decade.

Your Guide to Available Federal Grants Ever since we passed the historic Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, my priority is making sure our district gets its fair share of these transformational investments. I’ve compiled a Grants Summary Guide to help you navigate the hundreds of grants and programs for which you might be eligible. Keep in mind programs are still rolling out, and this guide and my staff will be good resources for you moving forward.

Additional Legislative Activity • Last summer, the House passed the Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act to help us prevent and fight future wildfires by significantly increasing investments in our firefighting response.

This transformative legislative package includes

my FUTURE Western Water Infrastructure and Drought Resiliency Act, which would develop more resilient water infrastructure and help ensure that homeowners can meet the challenge of planning for climate change.

• I recently re-introduced my keystone public lands bills, the Northwest California Wilderness, Recreation, and Working Forests Act, which includes several fire-prevention provisions and increases fire resilience throughout the North Coast.

• Last Congress, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Senator Padilla, and I also introduced the Disaster Equity and Fairness Act, which ensures that underserved areas victimized by wildfires can receive the help they need from FEMA to navigate the bureaucratic process to rebuild their communities.

• I again worked with Senator Alex Padilla last year on a separate bill, the Post Fire Flooding and Debris Flow Act, which would help mitigate and ultimately prevent post-wildfire flooding and debris flows.

• I have the unique position of being able to call on the administration to extend resources by issuing Major Disaster Declarations like I did during the August 2021 wildfires.

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. 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. 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 requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, to 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: September 29, 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.

“It was fun. I think just getting to play with girls I knew were way better is probably the best thing I could have had. And getting to talk to the girls about the college recruiting process.”

The Rise competed from January to May and traveled to tournaments up and down the West Coast as well as in Utah and Ohio.

As the Warriors get set for league play, a determined Curtis believes they have the talent and depth to defend their league crown and more this fall.

“I’m hoping to repeat last year (in league) and we want to go further in the NCS than we did last year,” she said. “I think we can do better, especially now that we got a look at teams down south.”

After graduation Curtis is hoping to take her talents to the next level and has been considering her options.

Playing for the Rise will no doubt put her on the radar of many West Coast programs and she is considering some Division-III and NAIA programs in Oregon, as well as some of the top community college programs in California.

“I have been touring some colleges for the past few months, and with the travel team I got a lot of exposure,” she said. “I’ll probably go to a junior college for two years and hopefully go to a four-year after that if I still want to play, and I’m pretty sure I will.

“My goal is to go somewhere where I know I can be pushed and challenged.”

McKenna is coached at Del Norte by her mother, Meagan Curtis, whom she says helped instill in her a love for volleyball.

“I’ve kind of grown up with it,” she said of the sport. “Ever since I was little my mom has coached and I just remember always watching games from the stands, and just being around it a lot has given me a lot of exposure to it.”
