THE TRINITY JOURNAL

onks at the Chagdud Gonpa Rigdzin Ling in Junction City raised an array of 201 colorful new prayer flags next to the eight great stupas in honor of Losar, the Tibetan New Year.

Flags were raised Thursday, followed by ceremonial prayers, and then ceremonial song Friday morning.

A verse for the Iron-Ox year read, in part, “Hey! These great white, red, blue, yellow and green flags express all-pervasive enlightened activities. They send forth on the wings of the wind vast, auspicious and sweet-sounding clouds of good fortune, far and wide. By raising these banners that carry great blessings, may all our virtuous aspirations be spontaneously accomplished.”

The short ceremony concluded with throwing of rice and good wishes to each other.

“May our own good fortune, energy and stamina be restored when weakened, repaired when shattered and enriched when depleted,” the verse said.

“May whatever we do turn out well, so that the outer environment and the minds of all beings be pervaded with peace and happiness.”

Above, monks circle the stupas chanting, playing drums and singing prayers with new prayer flags in the background. At left, closeup of the prayer flags.

Many local volunteers came out in the pouring rain Thursday, Feb. 11, to help Trinity County Public Health administer COVID-19 vaccines to hundreds of people.

Held at the Veterans Memorial Hall in Weaverville, the vaccination POD (Point of Distribution) administered 361 doses. Some were receiving second doses, while others were getting their first.

Public Health Nursing Director Marcie Jo Cudziol reported that the county and hospital have now administered a total of 1,170 doses and the county has 670 doses on hand for the next POD. Those getting their first dose were instructed to wait at least 28 days for the second one and instructed to bring their vaccination cards with them. According to information offered at the POD, the second dose does not have an outer time limit, but full protection will not occur until the second is administered. It should be noted that people do not need to receive their second shot from the same location but may also get it through a medical provider or pharmacy when they become available there.

Assistance with everything from traffic control to patient monitoring was provided by volunteer fire personnel from Hawkins Bar, Weaverville, Junction City, along with personnel from Search and Rescue, Caltrans, California Department of Health nurses, along with county Public Health and Health and Human Services staff.

“I would like very much to add that we have an amazing public team and we are all so thankful to our HHS team and all those agencies and organizations that have volunteered to assist us is this important step in combating the COVID-19 virus,” Cudziol said.

Many, but not all of those first responders, have received their second dose of the Moderna vaccine as part of Phase 1A and are waiting a minimum 14 days for the vaccine to reach full efficacy.

The Centers for Disease Control says the Moderna vaccine has demonstrated 94 percent efficacy after the See COVID, page 8

Annual eagle count above average

TONY REED | THE TRINITY JOURNAL

A bald eagle poses majestically at the Trinity River Hatchery in Lewiston.

Wildlife biologists recently completed the midwinter bald eagle surveys at Lewiston and Trinity lakes. They counted 90 eagles on Trinity and 17 at Lewiston. Both counts are on the high side, above average.

January through July is the bald eagle nesting season. Early in the nesting season, you may see the eagles repairing their nest and participating in courtship behavior.

Once the eggs are laid, they will be incubated for approximately 35 days before the chicks hatch. While both adults share in the incubation duties, the female generally does most of the incubation. Once hatched, the chicks remain in the nest for approximately 12 weeks before they begin to fly on their own.

Eagle observers are reminded that state and federal laws protect bald eagles and their nest sites. Disturbance around the nest could cause the birds to abandon the nest or discourage them from using the nest in the future. Please enjoy them from a distance and respect closure areas.

Anyone observing eagles building a new nest should contact the Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area/Shasta Lake Ranger District office.

Donations sought for August fire victims relief fund

LOOKING FOR A HOME

Recently, the August Complex ravaged through southern Trinity County, rendering many residents homeless.

Before the county will issue a letter of occupancy, exterior items such as water systems, electrical power systems, and septic systems damaged by the fire must be replaced.

These items are not covered by FEMA grants nor by homeowners’ insurance. Thus, these families need to come up with the funds.

Currently, there is a need for $30K just for water tanks and pipes. Please consider helping our people. You can donate by sending a check payable to either of the following nonprofit entities. Please write the letters AFVRF in the notation part of the check. ► Hayfork Rotary, P.O. Box 972, Hayfork, CA 96041. ► Weaverville Rotary, P.O. Box 589, Weaverville, CA 96093. ► Trinity Community Food Outreach, P.O. Box 1123, Weaverville, CA 96093, or ► Human Response Network has a donation link online.

State bill aims to make digital meetings an option Though it’s taken about a year to swallow, one of the truths that has come out of the COVID-19 pandemic is that with the internet, most meetings can be attended from home. Now, a state Assembly bill may keep that option open for all citizens even after the pandemic subsides.

Part of AB 339 would require that attendance through resources like Zoom be made an option for every public meeting. The Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act requires all meetings of a state body be open to the public.

“This bill would require all meetings, as defined, to include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option that provides closed captioning services and requires both a call-in and an internet-based service option to be provided to the public,” the bill reads. Introduced Jan. 28, the bill would require instructions on how to attend online meetings, improving public access to meetings.

TRINITY COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER

This diamond in the rough is Dutchess! She is about 3 to 4 years old, a longhaired Siamese who will need a patient person to give her enough space to feel comfortable in a new environment. In our cat room, when we let her out of her kennel, she hides underneath the kennels, refusing to come out. When forced out of her hiding spot, she absolutely LOVES pets and attention but when you are done, she immediately goes back to her spot in the dark. If you are willing to give this timid gal a chance at a fur-ever home, call the Trinity County Animal Shelter at 623-1370 to schedule a viewing or adoption appointment today. The interior of the animal shelter is closed due to COVID protocols, so call to make an appointment before you visit.

OHV grant proposals for Shasta-Trinity, Six Rivers national forests

These Holiday Market gift cards were among the $180,000 distributed to 720 Trinity County families in need.

CONTRIBUTED

Food Bank gives out $180,000 TRINITY JOURNAL STAFF

An allotment of about $180,000 in Coronavirus Relief Funding put a welcome amount of food on local tables and some money back into the local economy. Jeff England, director of the Trinity County Food Bank, said the funding came from the state and totaled about $180,000 after expenses. He said that while Food Bank staff could have divided the amount into $100 portions, they instead decided to divide the amount by the number of clients the food bank typically serves.

“Each family received a $250 gift card or gift certificate from Holiday Market, Moutain Marketplace, Wiley’s Market, Hayfork Discount, Ray’s Foods or Winco Foods depending on where they live,” England said. “A total of 720 families received them in the month of February.”

England noted that the cards cannot be used to buy alcohol, tobacco or lottery tickets, and will not allow cash back.

He said the response has been fantastic and the store managers were happy to assist.

“We even had someone bring a card back,” England said, noting that a single man insisted that his card be given to a family in need.

According to its website, the food bank distributes food and commodities to low-income families in the area. “We are a nonprofit organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place,” it states.

If you would like to donate to the Trinity County Food Bank go to www.trinity countyfoodbank.org or send check or money order to P.O. Box 1123, Weaverville ,CA 96093.

Phase 1 planning complete for Community Forest project The Shasta-Trinity National Forest has finished the planning effort for Phase 1 of the Weaverville Community Forest Fuels and Recreation Project. The project was designed with the Trinity County Resource Conservation District, the Watershed Research and Training Center, the Weaverville Community Forest Steering Committee, the Trinity Trails Alliance and community members to address hazardous fuels near Weaverville, and to improve recreation opportunities within the Weaverville Community Forest.

“We are grateful to have received

so much help from our partners and the community in developing phase 1 of this project,” stated District Ranger Tara Jones. “It is an important step in reducing the fuels that feed large wildfires, while also providing increased recreation opportunities near Weaverville.”

Phase 1 of the project will treat approximately 1,767 acres using manual thinning, mastication, prescribed fire, and other fuel reduction techniques to reduce fuel loading around Weaverville. Phase 1 will also include adding 10 miles of new trail to the Weaver Basin Trail Sys-

tem, increasing the availability and complexity of non-motorized recreation experiences.

Phase 2 of the project will reduce fuels on an additional 3,000 acres within the Weaverville Community Forest and address the authorization of future non-motorized special recreation events on the Weaver Basin Trail System. The planning for Phase 2 of the project is expected to be completed in early 2022.

For more information on the project visit www.fs.usda.gov/project/ ?project=56472 or call the Weaverville Ranger Station at 623-2121.

Reconnect for everyone's sake T

here has never been a time more important that today to be connected. With all that’s happening, changing and coming up, we need communication and reliable connections to keep up with it all. Whether it’s to your family, friends around the world, or your immediate community, no one should be out of the loop.

The pandemic has generated changes to lives around the world, not the least of which has been that Americans now need to know where they stand in the line for a COVID-19 vaccine.

We know not everyone reads the newspaper, but it’s just as true that not everyone uses the internet. When renewing print subscriptions, our staff will always mention the renewal includes free, exclusive access to the online newspaper. Quite often, they are told, “No, thank you. I don’t use the internet, I just read the paper.”

Right now, the demographic given top priority by vulnerability to severe illness from a COVID infection is those 65 and up.

Within that demographic are many of the same who say “I don’t use the internet.”

However, the changes brought by COVID-19 often happen faster than our print editions can keep up with and our online versions may not reach many in the most vulnerable populations. Vaccine registration slots fill up quickly online or may be full by the time the paper lands in mailboxes.

This is where your friends and neighbors need your help.

We can’t possibly call every elderly resident in Trinity County to ask if they know about the next vaccination event happening in Trinity County. We don’t have a radio station antenna sticking through our roof with which we can announce that registration is open for the next vaccination event. We don’t know your parents, grandparents and elderly friends. But you do and that’s where you can help.

Call them up and ask them. Ask them if they 1) want a vaccine shot, 2) know where to get one, and 3) if you can help them register when the next online registration opens. Perhaps they need a ride, don’t know the number to call or it simply slipped their minds.

We will do our level best to keep you informed about registration and upcoming vaccination events. If you pay attention to our website or social media pages and see a post about an upcoming vaccination POD, pass it along by phone or in person to someone who might not otherwise see it and be ready to help them sign up at www.trinitycounty.org. Those without internet access can call the vaccine line at 623-8235.

We all want to get back to normal as soon as possible so we can have public events, eat in busy restaurants and see our loved ones for the holidays. We really are in this together and now is the time to connect and help.

Bill to ban black bear hunting put into hibernation, should die

I

n yet another resounding illustration of big-city politicians having no clue about rural impacts, state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco several weeks ago proposed banning the hunting of black bears across California. The bill was immediately withdrawn amid strong and widespread opposition.

In pulling it, Wiener noted he had higher priority issues that needed his attention this year, which is political code for “I got my ass handed to me on this one.”

Senate Bill 252 was introduced on Jan. 26, intended, according to Wiener, to protect black bears in California from diminishing habitat due to wildfires and other threats, though we’re not certain there’s significant bear habitat left at all in San Francisco (maybe the East Bay). Throughout much of California, though, the black bear population is reportedly flourishing.

The bill would have reclassified black bears as non-game mammals and eliminated the bear tag program at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which currently allows for no more than 1,700 bear kills annually. An outright ban makes little sense; we feel the better solution is to allow CDFW to continue to assess the health of the black bear population and adjust the tag program accordingly.

To his credit, Wiener’s bill would have allowed the ability for landowners to kill a black bear in the event of an immediate threat to their safety or that of livestock. The bill also allowed for obtaining depredation permits in the event of overpopulation by black bears in a specified area. But for many the annual hunt is not just sport, it is food in the freezer. Big-city politicians don’t seem to get that.

We’re happy to see Wiener’s concern over California’s wildfire and forest management problems and urge him to redirect his attention to those areas, improving both our forests and bear habitat at the same time.

FEEDBACK Counselor's rant 'dangerous' FROM BETHANY HILL

BURLINGAME, CALIF. I recently read The Trinity Journal’s article called “Assembly rant wasn’t the intent, superintendent, school counselor say,” about school counselor Jim Pindell’s assembly speech at Trinity High School.

I believe that Mr. Pindell’s remarks were at best sloppy, but more accurately, xenophobic, disenfranchising, and potentially dangerous.

Mr. Pindell intended to speak about drug problems in the community. That is an important topic that should be addressed with the students of Trinity High.

However, Mr. Pindell quickly pivoted into policy conversations that were not about drug problems in the community.

He began speaking about the border — implying that the drugs were coming from Mexico — and then jumped to questions about defunding the police — perhaps implying that if the police never faced defunding, problems about drugs moving into the country from Mexico would not be an issue. Of course, those two issues (how to handle border policy and how to handle policing budgets) are not the same. Most police forces in this nation are not defending the border. One could argue that police forces should not be defunded if they have to deal with the ramifications of a drug trade, but Mr. Pindell did not carefully engage that debate. He moved on to another subject.

He went on to discuss China, problems with theft of intellectual property, and the social implications of Tik Tok (a Chinese company). He asserted that we are in a “war,” and he did not want to be forced to learn Mandarin — implying that if China wins this so-called “war,” the Chinese would — what — kidnap Mr. Pindell and force him to learn Chinese against his will?

At this point, Mr. Pindell ended up extremely far away from his original topic, which was about the drug issues facing the youth of Trinity County.

But it should be noted that some of Mr. Pindell’s statements weren’t completely wrong. Certain drugs do come from Mexico.

We do need to think about how the police operate in our communities and how we want to resource them to best further the interests of safety and justice for our residents. Many scholars believe that China is the world’s leader in intellectual property theft. There are security concerns with Tik Tok. So for some people, maybe this “rant” seems like a justified expression of frustration with the current system.

But Mr. Pindell did not take up these issues in a nuanced or careful way. It’s not right to take four or five serious policy

questions, each with mounds of scholarship behind them, to jumble them all together, to label them a war between “us” and “them,” and then to say “I don’t want to learn Mandarin.” I write this with near certainty that Mr. Pindell intended to inspire the students, but his rhetoric was xenophobic, and it shouldn’t be leading our schools.

Schools have the sacred responsibility to teach careful thinking. This type of speech is not thoughtful. It does not educate; it does not teach our youth how to tackle serious problems facing their community, the nation, or the planet. It suggests to youth that if you see a problem in your community — like rampant vaping, or drug use, or feelings of hopelessness — you can point the finger at Mexico or China or some “other” person than you. You can create a villain in order to feel better about your own circumstances.

If we want to talk about drugs in the community, we should talk about drugs in the community.

We should talk honestly about why people use them. There are many reasons, from wanting something fun to do, to desiring to make independent choices in a world that tells you how to live, to needing a way to mentally escape difficult situations, to trying to fight feelings of hopelessness or powerlessness, and many more.

If we want to know why the youth in Trinity County are using drugs, we should ask them. And we should give them hope for a better future, which does exist.

If students can confront difficult life circumstances and identify positive life goals, they can achieve them.

It might be tempting for some people to dismiss Mr. Pindell’s speech as “crazy.” But I don’t think calling Mr. Pindell crazy is the right move. Calling someone a name is a shortcut. It takes the responsibility off of the rest of us to describe why the speech was wrong. I think Mr. Pindell was given a platform to discuss a big problem, and he did so in a very unsophisticated way. This doesn’t help our youth see themselves as community or global citizens, which they are, and it doesn’t give them tools for coping with drug abuse, which they need.

Trinity High should take this opportunity to discuss what happened at the assembly, why it was wrong, and the importance of thinking carefully about how we address big problems in our communities and broader society. Frankly, I think the high schoolers should lead these discussions. Many high schoolers want forward-thinking policies, which is why they whipped out their phones to record Mr. Pindell’s remarks. They knew intuitively that the speech resounded in discrimination while failing to address the substantive drug concern.

As an alumna of Trinity High, who once sat in those chairs, I would love to see the school har-

In defense of Sup. Groves FROM DOUGLAS CORCORAN

WEAVERVILLE The past few weeks have seen a flurry of letters to the editor that have piled on criticisms and misrepresentations about Sup. Keith Groves and his record of representing Trinity County’s interest on the multiagency Trinity Management Council (TMC).

I can only imagine that, with the election behind us, people must feel a residual need to be outraged about something, or perhaps there is just a dearth of other topics on people’s radars at the moment. Regardless, someone needs to speak up in defense of Supervisor Groves.

A simple search of publicly available TMC meeting notes will find that, for years, Supervisor Groves has been an outspoken advocate for active and meaningful public participation on that body. The fact that the TMC failed to pass a motion advocating for reinstatement of its public advisory group was not a failure of Groves’ leadership, but a product of the TMC being 50 percent federal agencies who didn’t want to countermand their bosses.

At the risk of falling into an ad hominem attack trap and exacerbating the personal side of the recent smear campaign against Supervisor Groves, I would also suggest that Tom Stokely, who authored one of the most misleading letters last week, has not been a resident of Trinity County for years and perhaps he should attend to the business in Siskiyou County.

Shame on these recent letter to the editor authors for misleading the public about who is responsible for the failings of the TMC.

SPORTS BRIEFS Ninth annual Lewiston Ice Bowl set for Feb. 28

Boys cross-country runners from Trinity and Fall River high schools begin their first race of the season Friday afternoon, Feb. 12, at the Trinity Alps Golf Course in Weaverville.

Runners back on track

Cross-country teams kick off return of high school sports TRINITY JOURNAL STAFF

Under cloudy skies and with a cold breeze blowing, Trinity and Fall River high school and middle-school cross-country runners gathered Friday afternoon for the schools’ first formal competition since the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out sports schedules throughout California.

Held at the Trinity Alps Golf Course in Weaverville, the athletes displayed a mix of excitement to be competing again, and the rust of a long layoff.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS — 1.96 MILES Trinity fielded nine runners to Fall River’s five, but it was Fall River’s Branden Taylor who finished first in 10:58.

Trinity places, times include: 2. Scott Rupp, 11:07 4. Holden Navarro, 11:27 5. Alex McIntosh, 11:49 6. Kenny Rupp, 12:14 7. Anthony Rist, 12:37 10. ChangZong Lee, 13:28 11. Michael Hamman, 13:31 12. Nathan Rupp, 15:06 13. Jasper Hedrick-Moore, 16:32 HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS — 1.96 MILES Fall River runners outnumbered Trinity runners 8-2 and took the first three places.

Possible drought conditions could impact fisheries Recent storms have brought us lots of rain, but our snowpack is still below average and water content. This is not good news for both water storage and spring water flows. We could be into a designated “Dry Water Year.” I hope not as we could still get more snow from coming storms.

The Trinity Alps snowpack is roughly 89 percent of average for this time of year and we are still 76 percent below normal for rain on the West Coast. The big problem I see is Gov. Gavin Newsom apparently has signed on to the promise then-President Donald Trump gave to the Central Valley farmers “of a guaranteed allotment of water for the year.”

I still have not figured out how anyone can guarantee a specific amount of water when the water has not arrived into the reservoirs. I think it would be nice, but if the water is not there then you cannot guarantee someone a specific amount of water. More storage would be wonderful, but getting past the environmentalist will be a great wall to climb over.

The Record of Decision states the need for Trinity River Restoration and the need for water in each of the designated “Water Year” conditions. If the Trinity River is to get an allotted amount of water then where is the water promised to the Central Valley going to come from? I see the possibility of Trinity Lake being drained. We could possibly get lucky and the new Secretary of Interior take an interest in the Trinity and reorganize the TMC and TRRP to get the river restoration under control.

Last week I went to a Super Bowl Party and did not get back in time to make a report. Sorry about that. I did have fun but I rooted for the wrong team.

Fishing: The rain has been a big factor for fishing in the Willow Creek area and lower Trinity. I have not seen or heard of many adult steelhead being landed but great action on half-pounders. What adults that were landed were small adults.

This last week the river was blown out to the point of very little fishing was available. The TRH is finally seeing some steelhead return. The count has been going up, thank goodness.

I am worried about the possibility of a drought for the Northwest coast. If this should happen our fishery could take a big hit for the coming season. Right now, we have to concentrate on the availability of winter run steelhead and try to have a little fun hooking into one.

Mid-Klamath to Happy Camp: The Klamath River at Weitchpec is flowing at 22,851 cfs. This is a great increase of 15,749 cfs. Iron Gate Dam is releasing 944 cfs. The Weitchpec area is still closed to the general public because of COVID-19 protocols and for now the mid-Klamath is also unfishable due to the highwater flows. Right now, I would say the best bet is above I-5.

Lake Conditions: Whiskeytown is 86 percent of capacity (an increase of 1 percent) with inflows of 429 cfs and releasing 277 cfs on to Keswick. Shasta Lake is 49 percent of capacity (an increase of 2 percent, plus 6 feet) with inflows of 6,167 cfs and releasing 3,149 cfs into Keswick.

Keswick is 93 percent (an increase of 7

percent) with inflows of 3,465 cfs and releasing 3,265 cfs into the Sacramento River. Lake Oroville is 37 percent of capacity (an increase of 2 percent, plus 8 feet) with inflows of 4,970 cfs with releases of 756 cfs into the Feather River. Folsom Lake is 32 percent of capacity (an increase of 2 percent, plus 4 feet) with inflows of 3,090 cfs with releases of 1,137 cfs into the American River.

Trinity Lake: The lake is 88 feet below the overflow (a decrease of 1 foot) and 52 percent of capacity (an increase of 1 percent) with inflows of 1,263 cfs and releasing 431 cfs into Lewiston Lake with 115 cfs being diverted to Whiskeytown Lake and on to Keswick Power Plant.

Trinity River flows and conditions: Lewiston Dam is 95 percent of capacity (a decrease of 3 percent) and water releases are 316 cfs into the Trinity River, with water temperature of 45.6 degrees as of Sunday, Feb. 15. Limekiln Gulch is 4.95ft at 447 cfs. Douglas City is 7.06ft with flows of 811 cfs and water temperature of 42.9 degrees.

Junction City is 2.68ft at 938 cfs. Helena is 10.04ft at 1,082 cfs with water temp of 42.5 degrees. Cedar Flat (Burnt Ranch) is 5.82ft at 2,196 cfs. South Fork of the Trinity near Hyampom is 9.25ft at 2,559 cfs. Willow Creek is estimated at 4,755 cfs and water at 43.5 degrees. Hoopa is 18.70ft at 11,046 cfs and water is 45 degrees. Water flows at the mouth of the Trinity River at the Klamath in Weitchpec are estimated to be 22,851 cfs, an increase of 15,749 cfs.

Klamath River flows and conditions: Iron Gate is releasing 944 cfs. Seiad Valley is 3.61ft at 2,429 cfs. Happy Camp is estimated at 2,325 cfs. Somes Bar is estimated to be 3,997 cfs. The Salmon River is 2.94ft at 952 cfs. Orleans is 8.59ft at 11,808 cfs.

The Klamath River at Terwer Creek is 17.46ft at 37,258 cfs and water temp is 46.2 degrees. Flows for the Smith River at Jedediah Smith are 16.02ft with flows of 23,802 cfs and flows at Dr. Fine Bridge are 21.64ft. The Smith is blown right now and with the coming storm I don’t see it clearing for some time.

Trinity Links Disc Golf Club and the Lewiston Fresh Start Food Pantry have scheduled the 9th annual Ice Bowl Disc Golf Tournament for Feb. 28 at Deer Meadow Disc Golf Course in Lewiston. All proceeds support the Lewiston Fresh Start Food Bank, which will provide hot coffee and doughnuts during signup and a delicious lunch between rounds.

There are four adult divisions: $40 buy in, or $35 with a non-perishable food donation (three cans or more, prize for the most food). Now including a Junior (12 and under) division at $25/$30. Players package includes a disc, a mini and lunch, plus coffee and doughnuts at sign in.

Play two rounds of nine holes. Plus, closest to pin contest, and a raffle.

Local businesses are encouraged to participate by donating items for the winner’s prize packages and raffle prizes (all tax-deductible, of course).

Organizers have been making the rounds, but if they haven’t gotten to you and you would like to help sponsor the event, they will be sure to give you a big shout out at the event, online, and in post-event publicity.

Official Ice Bowls are played at courses all over the United States and Canada, as well as Europe in a corridor that reflects astronomical winter (Dec. 21-March 22). Each event finds a local charity to support, ideally to fight hunger. Since 1996, disc golfers at nearly 5,000 Ice Bowls have raised over $4.96 million for local charities, including $384K in 2020. The Ice Bowl motto is “No Wimps, No Whiners -- Under no circumstances, may an Ice Bow be canceled or postponed because of weather conditions.”

Winter sports season also avalanche season Although an avalanche can occur whenever there is snow on a mountain range, avalanches most often occur between December and April.

There have already been 21 fatalities during this 2020-2021 season, which is high compared to the 2019-2020 season total of 23.

With another two to three months of peak avalanche season remaining, visitors should exercise increased caution when traveling out into the backcountry. Visitors can mitigate their avalanche risk by doing the following: ► Get the Forecast – access the latest avalanche forecast for your area at www.shastaavalanche.org. There, professional avalanche forecasts are posted daily on the level of risk in an area on a scale from 1-Low, to 5-Extreme. ► Get the Gear – Another critical component of avalanche safety is having the appropriate gear. There are three essential pieces of gear: An avalanche beacon, a probe and a shovel. ► Get the Training – Find an avalanche course provider at www.shastaavalanche.org, and get trained up in avalanche safety. Start your training online by watching the Know Before You Go safety video at www.kbyg.org.

This vintage 1952 Model M John Deere tractor is up for raffle.

CONTRIBUTED

This 69-year old, professionally restored John Deere tractor will soon be up for raffle in Trinity County. The 1952 Model M comes with a side-sickle mower attachment and has been professionally restored to working condition.

The tractor belonged to Brad Miller and was donated to the Fair by the Miller family which has had it for about 25 years.

According to Billie Miller, the tractor will be raffled to benefit the Fair, Future Farmers of America and 4-H clubs, but it’s yet to be determined how it will be divided.

Billie said they got the classic machine over 25 years ago through a tractor club in Redding. She said it became her interest to get it restored.

She said the tractor will be trailered and displayed around the county and tickets will be available soon.

Billie said the winning ticket for the tractor will be drawn at the Livestock Auction during the Trinity County Fair in August. Be sure to check the county fair website for more details and look for the tractor in the coming months.

Many medical and news sources around the country are also reporting increased side effect symptoms from the second dose, including chills, fever and flu-like soreness which fades after a few days.

An updated report last week from the CDC changed the quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated persons.

“Fully vaccinated persons who meet the criteria will no longer be required to quarantine following an exposure to someone with COVID-19,” the CDC website said.

State numbers A post on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s social media pages Monday said the state has now administered over 6 million vaccines and hospital admissions are down 33 percent.

“One month ago, we reported 43,000 cases,” the post read. “Today: 6,487 cases.” It also states that California has gone from a 12 percent positivity rate a month ago to 3.7 percent as of Monday.

Non-essential travelers from other states or countries are strongly discouraged from entering California and should adhere to the state’s self-quarantine procedures for 10 days.

Your actions save lives Protect yourself, family, friends and your community by following these prevention measures: ► If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches), call your health care provider. ► If you believe you have been exposed, get tested. Free, confidential testing is available statewide. ► Get vaccinated when it’s your turn. ► Stay home except for essential activities, keep interactions to people who live in your household, and follow state and local public health guidance. ► Wear a cloth face mask when out in public. ► Avoid non-essential travel and stay close to home; self-quarantine for 10 days after arrival if you leave the state. ► Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. ► Avoid close contact with people who are sick and stay home from work, school and other people if you feel ill. ► Add your phone to the fight by signing up for COVID-19 exposure notifications from CA Notify. ► Answer the call or text if a contact tracer from the CA COVID Team or your local health department tries to connect you.

Trinity County, our schools are open for in-person learning

BY SARAH SUPAHAN We are proud to say that our schools are open to in-person instruction, and they all opened at their usual start time this school year, all except for Southern Trinity Joint Unified School District who had a delayed start due to the August Complex fire.

Safety is a priority for Trinity County districts. Our schools have been following the CDPH Safety Guidelines set out in July 2020, and due to their efforts to enforce those safety plans (masking, social distancing, handwashing, etc.) as well as likely due to the fact that we’ve had fewer cases in our community than in more populated areas, we’ve had no outbreaks in our schools. An outbreak, which would require a school to close to in-person instruction, is defined as “three cases in a school over a 14-day period.”

The only cases we’ve had in our schools have not originated inside the schools themselves, but were due to a close contact with someone in the community who contracted the COVID-19 virus.

Some of the schools in our county have had to go to distance-learning for short periods of time for one specific reason: a lack of staff. This has occurred when a staff member or members were required to quarantine due to an exposure, and yet there is an ongoing shortage of substitute teachers to call in. There were also three

the virus. The reason? Children produce fewer “ACE-2 receptors” and these receptors are the doorway that the virus uses to enter into human cells.

A study from May 2020 shows that elementary students produce fewer “ACE-2 receptors” than middle and high schoolaged students, who produce fewer receptors than adults. Consequently, children have fewer doorways into the body for the virus, which leads to fewer infections and less severe infections for those who do catch it.

Another reason may be because children’s immune systems are used to fighting off common colds. The common cold is also in the same family of viruses as COVID-19 called “coronavirus’.” Some parts of all coronavirus’ are very similar. A study of children back in 2011-2018 shows that more children had antibodies against the kinds of coronavirus’ that existed at that time, likely because they had coughs and colds more often than young adults aged 17-25. Those increased antibodies to related virus’ may be keeping more children from getting COVID-19.

It is likely a combination of these two things — the ACE-2 receptor production and pre-existing antibodies to other coronaviruses — that explain why children get COVID-19 less frequently and less severely than adults.

THE NEWS BACK THEN

FROM THE NORTH FORTY

19TH AMENDMENT: A WOMEN'S RIGHT TO VOTE

Part XIII: Friday the 13th: Waterloo

BY DEBBIE LAFFRANCHINI, MA

SECRETARY, SOROPTIMIST OF TRINITY COUNTY

With the Tennessee Senate and House Constitutional Committees retiring into executive session at midnight on Thursday night, Aug. 12, 1920, Nashville knew it was going to be a long night concluding a fierce debate in both houses with accusations flying, name-calling, fear-mongering from the Anti-suffrage camp, and appeals to equity and moral dignity from the Suffragist camp. The Southern Life was in peril and at the core was giving women the vote, bringing Negro women to the elevated status of the Southern man and that just could not be tolerated.

Life as the South knew it would forever be changed and Southerners were outraged.

After much political sparring, Chairman of the Senate Constitutional Committee Gwinn emerged from the meeting to announce that the Senate Committee would recommend ratification of the federal amendment on Friday, the 13th. The morning of the 13th Senate Speaker Todd led the Senate to an affirmative vote an hour later. The Suffs rejoiced cautiously as the House, led by traitorous Speaker Seth Walker took this opportunity to be present at the House Constitutional Committee led by Freshman Tom Riddick, easily outmaneuvering the novice representative to postpone consideration for ratification until the following week.

Unable to bring the committee around, House Democrats rebelled Friday morning, demanding a new leader in the committee. Riddick was wealthy, arrogant, and unfamiliar with the political sway of powerful men as Speaker Walker.

Joe Hanover emerged as his replacement, experienced, politically savvy, and pro-Suffragist.

The Senate was first to give its report to the throng in the Senate gallery, perfumed with the yellow roses of the Suffs and red roses of the Antis. Pro-Suff senators invited prominent Tennessee suffrage women to sit beside them at their desks not only as guests but as future partners in the governing process.

Chairman Gwinn of the Constitutional Committee rose to deliver the majority report: “The present Legislature has both a legal and moral right to ratify the proposed resolution. Its adoption is as certain as the recurrence of the seasons … national woman’s suffrage by Federal amendment is at hand. It may be delayed but it cannot be defeated and we covet for Tennessee the signal honor of being the 36th and last state necessary to consummate this great reform.” A minority report was given but gained no traction and the majority report was accepted.

Points of order, intended to derail the

ratification were overruled, and then the drama began.

Sen. Hershel Candler took the floor, former colonel in the army, man of the law. As he glared at the women sitting with the men at their desks, eyeing these “coarse women who should be at home, instead invading the senate sanctum.”

He accused the men of bribery and took on the defense of motherhood. “I am representing the mothers who are at home rocking the cradle and not representing the low-neck and high-skirt variety (pointing to them) who know not what it is to go down in the shade of the valley and bring forth children. Motherhood has no appeal to them.” The hissing began with a shout from the gallery, “I have six children!” Candler continued: “If there is anything I despise it is a man who is under petticoat government!”

Men joined the hissing. “You are being dictated to by an old woman down here at the Hermitage Hotel whose name is Catt. I think her husband’s name is Tom. Mrs. Catt is nothing more than an anarchist.” The hissing was drowning out his words, now being shouted. “Mrs. Catt said she would be glad to see the day when negro men and white women could marry and it is nothing of society’s concern. This kind of woman is trying to dictate to us and dragging the womanhood of Tennessee down to the level of the negro woman!” He warned of negro representatives invading the House as they did 50 years ago. The chamber was exploding with hissing, shouting, and a jeering frenzy.

The rational voice of Speaker Todd responded: “That is the most unfortunate speech that has ever been made upon the floor of the Senate. These slurs do not meet approval of the good women of Tennessee. I am convinced that there yet remains enough virtue among the womanhood of Tennessee and enough courage among the manhood of the state to see that no condition pictured would ever occur. We won’t have negro rule, there are no sinister influences here. If there is a man in this house or gallery who has not been under petticoat government ever since he was born, please stand. I have always been under petticoat government and I thank God for it.”

Soroptimist International seek equality, peace, and international goodwill for women.

PRESS RELEASE

Is there something the county should know about?

E-mail the Who, What, When, Where and Why to: editor@trinityjournal.com by 4pm on Friday.

Deerlick Springs circa 1930.

150 YEARS AGO | SATURDAY, FEB. 10, 1872 The Weather -- Six inches of snow last Tuesday, followed by a heavy warm rain, has raised all the streams in this section, and miners have all the water they can use. It is still squally with occasional dashes of rain.

Sleighing – Tuesday of this week, there being several inches of snow, Mr. James Ellery and others rigged up a four-horse sleigh, and for several hours favored all who wished with a ride through the town.

China New Year – Wednesday evening the Chinese residents of Weaverville began celebrating their New Year with their usual shouts and display, and with the usual amount of fireworks. Having had water plenty for several weeks, they are more flush than for several years past at this time, and greater and more extended jollification will result in consequence. Every year, up this occasion, silver and small gold disappears at once as by magic from among the whites, being gathered up in every conceivable way by the Chinese for use among themselves. Chinese New Year over, the small coin finds its way back into the ordinary channels of trade again, but for a short time change for a twenty-dollar piece is almost impossible to obtain among the white. This, Chinamen say, is the year 4809 of the Chinese empire.

Toby Lynch, a colored man, was severely injured in the caving of a bank on Oregon Gulch one day this week. He is now at the County Hospital.

125 YEARS AGO | SATURDAY, FEB. 8, 1896 George L. Carr of Trinity Center left the early part of this week for a business trip to San Francisco. He has a very promising quartz mine in that district and has been crushing the ore from it with an arastra and has made it pay.

We learn that while in the city, he will purchase a stamp mill.

O.E. Lowden has sold his stock of liquors and cigars and rented the Elite saloon building and fixtures to J.H. Levick and H.H. Lyon of Santa Cruz county.

The new proprietors took possession last Tuesday. “Gene” has returned to his Lowden Ranch home and will again superintend affairs there. His family, who have been living in town, will join him in a short time.

100 YEARS AGO | SATURDAY, FEB. 12, 1921 “More Facts and Figures on Trinity County’s Resources” appears on page one. This article is mostly about the prospects for merchantable timber.

There is also a section on the resorts in Trinity County (but no names). “At Weaverville, free public auto camp grounds are maintained by the town.

Camping privileges may be had at Deer Lick Springs, where the magic ‘Deadshot’ mineral water may be absorbed both internally and externally rending infallible relief and permanent cure in extreme cases of blood diseases.”

L. Huebner, proprietor of the Union hotel, has purchased the Lim Sing mine, on West Weaver Creek. The property includes a good water right with sufficient flow that the mine can be worked nearly the year around.

For several days there has been a strong aroma of burnt powder and scorched paper in the atmosphere, reminding one of the Fourth of July, but it’s only the regular smell that goes with the celebration of China New Year. Of course it is not all smell, either; there’s plenty of noise, and in this Young America joins with the Celestials – in fact makes most of it. “Alle Same Fofe July”.

Rainfall for the week 1.35 inches; rainfall to date 39.94. To same date last year 10.14.

Clifford Harding returned last week from the central part of the state. While away, he took the civil service examination.

75 YEARS AGO | THURSDAY, FEB. 14, 1946 Citizens Thanks for Clothing Contributions – W.J.B. Shanahan, chairman

TRINITY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

of the Victory Clothing drive in Trinity County, today expressed his thanks to the citizens of the county for their generous support in the drive. He said that 153 goodwill letters accompanied the clothing. The total of 2,601 pounds of clothing was collected in the drive. A final count showed that Trinitarians had contributed 4,323 garments, 83 pairs of shoes, and 23 blankets to this worthy cause.

Edwin J. Regan, Trinity County District Attorney who helped present the state’s case against tideland restrictions before the Senate committee in Washington last week, will return to Weaverville tomorrow. According to reports, Regan is well pleased with the outcome of the hearings and will probably return to Washington soon. Regan was special attorney for the state of California at the hearings.

Past Master C.A. Paulsen, assisted by Frank Hicks, Acting Master of Ceremonies, installed the following officers of Trinity Lodge No. 27, F.&A.M. on Monday evening, Feb. 11: Leonard M. Morris, Worshipful Master; Don P. Creath, S.W.; Hal E. Goodyear, J.W.; Wm. A Goetze, Treasurer; J.J. Jackson, Secretary; C.R. Noonan, Chaplain; Harold F. Sebring, Marshal; John H. Hanlon, J.D.; and W.B. Testy, Tyler. About 40 members attended an elaborate banquet which was served in the Legion Hall before the meeting.

John Hensel and James Olsen of Burnt Ranch were county seat business visitors this week.

50 YEARS AGO | THURSDAY, FEB. 11, 1971 The weather – average high 58; average low 25, with 18 on Wednesday; rain for week 0; seasonal to date 33.67.

The Trinity Journal Recreation Guide, published annually by the Trinity Journal, was judged the best special issue in the Better Newspapers Contest sponsored by the California Publishers Association. Announcement of the Journal’s selection was made Saturday morning at a breakfast meeting during the publishers’ convention held this year in San Francisco. Factors considered in this section included value to area served, content, amount of original material and amount of work done in the local shop. This is the second consecutive year the Journal has won first place in this competition among newspapers with circulation at 2,500 and below.

25 YEARS AGO | WEDNESDAY, FEB. 14, 1996 The weather report for the week ending Feb. 13 shows the average high temperature of 66 degrees, and average low of 37 degrees. Feb. 13 showed a low of 27 degrees and a high of 75 degrees. The rain for the week was 0.05 of an inch for a seasonal total of 28.09. Last year at this time the average high was 58 degrees and low of 30. Rain to date then was 36.52 inches. The lake is at 84.2 percent, while last year it was 71.4 percent.

This edition of the Journal contains several articles and photos devoted to the people of Hayfork and their opposition to the proposed closing of the Sierra Pacific Industries lumber mill. SPI places the blame primarily on the Clinton administration and their rules for timber sales. Another article talks about the mill accounting for 50 to 70 percent of the economic base of the town. It includes a brief history of the mill history in the town. The article mentions that 148 workers will be affected by the closing, but many more will be affected as well. This will be an ongoing area of discussion beyond the proposed closing date in May. Trinity Hospital honored three employees for the fourth quarter. Terri Shiffer, Financial Services (October); Carol Bradford, RN, Home Health (November); Jane Ritzman-Gowe, Radiology (December).

Mountain Chapel pastor of 17 years, Bill Johnson and wife Beni have said goodbye and moved their family to a new mission at Bethel Church in Redding. Danny Silk and family will fill the position at Mountain Chapel.

NOTICE OF AMENDED PETITION

NOTICE OF AMENDED PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MANUEL MARTINEZ, JR. Case No. 20PR031 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MANUEL MARTINEZ, JR. AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Susana Alfaro in the Superior Court of California, County of TRINITY.

THE AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Susana Alfaro be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE AMENDED 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 AMENDED 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 amended petition will be held on Feb. 22, 2021 at 11:00 AM in Dept. No. 2 located at 11 COURT ST, Weaverville, CA 96093.

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 repre-sentative, 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.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the obligation secured by said Deed of Trust. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. TRUSTOR: 299 Trinity Holdings, LLC DULY APPOINTED TRUSTEE: Foreclosure Specialists, a General Partnership RECORDED: 8/17/18 AS INSTRUMENT NO. 201802267 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Trinity County, California. DATE OF SALE: Monday, March 8, 2021 at 9:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: At the Court Street entrance to the Superior Court of Trinity County at 11 Court St., Weaverville, CA 96093 THE COMMON DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY IS PURPORTED TO BE: 618 FS Rd 33N44, aka 612/616 Graham Road, Big Bar, CA 96010 APN: 012-050-20 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $982,334.26 Beneficiary may elect to open bidding at a lesser amount. The total amount secured by said instrument as of the time of initial publication of this notice is stated above, which includes the total amount of the unpaid balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of this notice. 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 fee 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 TENANT: You may have the 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 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, or visit this internet website: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS#20-2776, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and

highest bid, and the street address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO 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 the trustee’s information line at 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-3336766, or visit this Internet Website: calforeclosures. biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS # 20-2776. 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.
