Absences mount on school sit out day By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate
On Monday, Oct. 18, Del Norte County families opposed to Governor Newsom’s COVID vaccine mandate for kids under the age of 12 joined a grass-roots movement by not sending their kids to school. In nearby schools across the border and into Oregon, how-
ever, where COVID vaccine mandates don’t exist, attendance was predictably normal. “We had 348 more students absent yesterday compared to the week prior,” said Tom Kissinger, assistant superintendent of educational services for the Del Norte Unified School District. All told, 748 of the roughly 3,500 students in the Del Norte County Unified School District
didn’t make it to their classroom, equating to about 21.5% of the district’s student population. “It’s difficult to definitively tell why students were absent, but it appears the numbers are significant enough to indicate that the sit out had some effect,” Kissinger said. A week prior to the protest, posters and messages stating that kids are “not an experiment,”
along with rallying cries to join the sit out, started circulating on social media. Richard Nehmer, a Del Norte County resident with children under the age of 12, told the Triplicate last Friday that his family would not be sending their kids to school. “We are absolutely against the mandate for kids under 12,” said Nehmer.
Nehmer added that he is vaccinated against COVID but is against mandating the vaccine for children under the age of 12 because other vaccines are already required, and this one should be up to families to decide. “Kids are already getting Hep A and Hep B vaccines,” Nehmer said. “This one should be up to us.”

Sea otters have been a threatened species for many years. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is doing a feasibility study to determine whether sea otters can be reintroduced along the Pacific Coast.
Sea otters could be returning to Pacific Coast By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate
Sea otters could be coming back to the Oregon and California coasts. During a meeting of Coos County, Oregon commissioners, Michele Zwartjes, a field office supervisor with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the service has been conducting a feasibility study to consider introducing sea otters to the Pacific Coast. “Oregon is the only state along
the Pacific Coast that does not have a sea otter population anymore,” Zwartjes said. “They were eliminated in the early 1900s due to hunting for the fur trade.” Zwartjes said the Fish and Wildlife Service was tasked by Congress to do the feasibility study. The study is to look at the cost, impact and ability to introduce sea otters along the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. Congress gave the service through the end of 2021 to produce the study.
“Our final report is going to emphasize that more study is needed,” Zwartjes said. Zwartjes said hunting in the early 1900s eliminated sea otters along the Pacific Coast, but there are small groups thanks to an effort to reintroduce the otter in the 1960s. “Much of the population in existence today is a result of reintroductions that occurred in the 1960s, including one in Southern Oregon along Port Orford,” she said. “It lasted about 10 years,
and the even had pups. Some believe they migrated north and joined the California group.” Zwartjes said in the last decade there have been 24 documents sightings of sea otters in Oregon, most solo males moving south from Washington. There is a strong population of river otters in Oregon, and they can sometimes be seen resting on the beach. As part of the study, the Fish and Wildlife Service has Please see SEA OTTERS, Page A10

Crescent City Police Chief Richard Griffin, Mayor Jason Greenough and newly-promoted Lieutenant Justin Gill.
Police Department continues to make improvements By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate
This week marks two years since Richard Griffin stepped up from within the ranks of the Crescent City Police Department to become its police chief. Also this week, Justin Gill was promoted from sergeant to lieutenant - the latter advancement reflecting Griffin’s intention to create a greater level of administrative and leadership structure
within the department. “I’ve got 13 years left to do this job,” said Griffin during a sit down interview last month. “Having a good number two person that I can say ‘Hey, I’m going to take a week off here and it’s in your hands’ - that is something that is gonna be needed for longevity and structure.” According to Griffin, four people turned in applications for the lieutenant position and the
candidates were vetted by him and City Manager Eric Wier. The new role will focus primarily on administrative and police department leadership. “We chose him (Gill) because of his work ethic and ability to grasp administrative duties,” said Griffin. The promotion also signifies a step forward in meeting the objectives of Measure S, a 1% transaction and use tax sales increase that was passed by voters

in November and went into effect six months ago. In May, Griffin informed the city council that the $1,646,885 of Measure S funds would allow the police department to meet the following needs: Staffing additional police officers, including a detective and a lieutenant, as well as another K-9 officer.

On Tuesday, Oct. 19, the Crescent City Board of Harbor Commissioners unanimously voted to pay $14,000 to Portland-based GeoEngineers to provide dredge spoils management services to the port - a contract that commissioners said was a step in the right direction, but which drew criticism from others as still being too slow to fix the overall sediment problem in the harbor. “You need to face realities,” said someone from an audience chair. “You’re not serving the needs of your tenants.” The comment came after a half dozen other people left the meeting angry, including one individual who also didn’t walk up to the podium, but shouted out from his chair that statements from the commission to dredge the harbor using divers to “buy time” before fixing the sediment-clogged waterway is not going to help his business. “We are to the point where we are almost virtually out of business,” he said, prior to getting up from his seat and slamming the meeting room door behind him. Brian Stone, president of the Harbor Commission, responded by saying “Well, we moved something forward today, we actually moved to get the testing done, which is one step... step by step, and that’s the way the government is,” he said. According to GeoEngineers project proposal, the firm will do the following: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING We understand that approximately 60,000 cubic yards of sediment dredged from the Crescent City Harbor have been placed in an upland dredged material disposal site owned and operated by the Crescent City Harbor District. Sediment analytical data collected at the time of dredging indicated that some sediment contained concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that exceeded Water Board residential and industrial screening levels. Other hazardous substances were also detected in sediment. In 2013, the Water Board informed the Crescent City Harbor District that the dredge spoils constituted solid waste and those materials could not be re-used without a permit issued by the Water Board.

He was discharged from the Marines in 1948 and went on to attend college at the University of California Berkley (Cal) as a journalism major. He found his passion for art was greater than his interest in taking the many English classes required for journalism, so he changed his major to art.

He arranged adult education classes at the high school for College of the Redwoods and Del Norte Adult education. In 1973, he left the high school and became College of Redwoods (Del Norte) Administrator. The success of the college led to an arrangement to house the college campus at the fairgrounds, turning the Arts and Craft building, the hot dog stand and the chicken and rabbit building into college classrooms. The campus was affectionately dubbed “College of the Fairgrounds”. In 1982, College of the Redwoods moved into a permanent campus across from the high school. In addition to playing a significant role in building the Del Norte campus, Rick was a big promotor of the nursing program offered at the Del Norte Campus.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
Guest columns
Let’s redefine those bucket lists By Marjorie “Slim” Woodruff What did we learn this summer and fall? We learned that people who’d been cooped up, thanks to COVID-19, flocked to our national parks and forests. Once there, many were eager to empty their bucket list of must-do activities in the outdoors. Consequences ranged from overflowing parking lots, lots of litter and human waste and illegal pets on and off the trails, to campers parking anywhere they wanted, copious graffiti and calls for multiple rescues. At Grand Canyon alone, the summer rescue count exceeded all of last year’s. Visitation on public lands increased as much as 50 percent this summer, while at the same time, enforcement budgets had been slashed. That makes me propose some bucket-list suggestions that might seem like plain old common sense. First, while chasing fulfillment of your list, approach the outdoors like a designated adult and learn what rules apply. Second, make sure you are trackable – and not because you leave a trail of trash or discarded water bottles. Third, do not under any circumstances celebrate your love or anything else by scratching your name on rocks or onto a tree. Why must I pick up a person’s detritus or erase their doodles? One big item on my list is to go hiking without playing housemaid to others. One young miscreant informed me that she did not know that she was doing anything wrong, everyone else was doing it, and it was a “non-enforceable” law. I suppose if a law enforcement ranger does not observe someone breaking the law it is difficult, though not impossible, to get a conviction. The same can be said for shoplifting, DUIs or even murder. Somehow that does not make any of those things right. A big problem with bucket lists is that some goals require a certain level of fitness or expertise, and fulfillment becomes problematic if one lacks either of these qualities. The same people who would quail at running a marathon believe that hiking Half Dome — 16 miles round trip, 4,800 feet of elevation — or climbing Long’s Peak —15 miles round trip, 3,825 feet — will be a walk in the park. Hiking or running rim-to-rim at Grand Canyon is a big goal for lists. This involves starting at one rim or the other and hiking 21 to 24 miles with an elevation change of 11,000 feet. To get the whole “oh wow” reaction from one’s peers, the goal is to complete this in one day. I watched rangers plead with one rimto-rim woman at the bottom of the Canyon
DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren Marjorie “Slim” Woodruff
to abort her run. She was disoriented and on the verge of blacking out. They offered her a bed in the clinic so she could finish the next day. But, no, she had to finish that day or it would not be marked off her bucket list. She staggered off and had to be rescued two hours later. How often do we read of climbers on Everest who vanish into the void because they have to summit or die? I do not think the goal of a bucket list is to kick the bucket while accomplishing it. Checking off items on a list also seems self-limiting. Done with that, what’s next? At Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii, I once drove out at sunset to see the lava fall into the sea. Then we hiked to where we could view the active crater. If we’d had a bucket, it needed to get lots bigger. Maybe a bucket list could be more of a rabbit hole, with each branch leading to another adventure. One of our rangers tells tourists that visiting the Grand Canyon can change one’s vacation plans forever. First they need to see it. Then they need to hike down. Then they need to spend the night. Then they hear about another trail. They become explorers in no time. Instead of “things to do before I kick the bucket,” maybe think of “things to do that dump more things into the bucket.” Meanwhile, whatever we do while enjoying the public lands, and reconnecting with nature, we can show as much respect as we would a friend’s backyard — even if our fun is non-enforceable. Marjorie “Slim” Woodruff is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. She is an educator at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Nice people finish first By Bryan Golden Chances are that you’ve heard the expression, “nice guys finish last.” Nothing could be further from the truth. This statement is used by many to justify less than ethical treatment of others. Under the guise of not wanting to finish last, people engage in inconsiderate conduct. At best, this type of behavior will give the illusion of short-term gains. These apparent gains come with a high price; the forfeiture of building a solid foundation of living which will last a lifetime. Being nice is not synonymous with subjugating your dignity or your right to assert yourself. Don’t allow yourself to be used as a doormat. Everyone, at one time or another, has been in a situation where they felt obligated or pressured to agree to do something that they didn’t want to. Being nice entails being considerate, polite, respectful and thoughtful. Being nice means not elevating yourself by stepping on others. Being nice requires understanding
that you are not better than someone else and no one is better than you. Being nice compels you to help people without expecting anything in return. Unfortunately, there are those who view being nice as a sign of weakness and as an invitation to take advantage. However, no one can take advantage of you without your permission and participation. Your response when someone tries to take advantage of you sets a precedent that determines how you are subsequently treated. Unless you make your limits clear, people will continually try to push your boundaries. Your limits will be tested on several fronts: at work, by family and by friends. Each situation requires a different approach. At work you have an obligation to perform certain services in return for your pay. But when requests fall outside your normal job responsibilities, you must decide whether you want to or should comply. It’s not uncommon to experience direct or implied pressure that your employment or advance-
ment might be affected if you say no. This is a very uncomfortable position to be in, but it happens. Be clear in your own mind what your limits are. Don’t allow yourself to be held hostage because you are afraid to say no to unreasonable or inappropriate requests. If you are so concerned by job security that you won’t say no, you essentially broadcast that you have no limits. As a result, you will continually be taken advantage of. When appropriate, say no, and you will usually find that nothing bad happens and you are treated with more respect. Requests from family and friends are somewhat different. Guilt and peer pressure is used to cajole you into doing what someone else wants. Exceed your boundaries and you will be taken advantage of repeatedly. Decline requests with politeness and a smile.

COUPLE STRUGGLES WITH ELDERLY CAT'S DECLINING HEALTH DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been together 39 years, and we generally get along very well. We've always had dogs and cats, and we currently have two of each. While my wife loves all animals, I'm a dog person. I don't dislike cats, but I don't really care for them. The cats and I tend to ignore each other. We have one who's 20 years old. While he doesn't appear to be in any pain, I suspect he has dementia. He has poor balance. He stumbles into walls and cabinets and has fallen down the stairs a number of times. Recently, he has been peeing in my den and garage. That, I can't ignore. I think it's time to put the cat down. My wife is calling me cold and heartless. I think when I've lost my mind enough to pee in my den or garage, I hope someone will be compassionate enough to help me go. I'm starting to hate that cat. -- FAVORS DOGS IN EL PASO DEAR FAVORS DOGS: That poor animal should be examined by a veterinarian to determine why he is stumbling and falling, and whether the problem can be remedied. (The elderly dog of a friend of mine kept running into things and ultimately had successful cataract surgery.) As to the cat's inappropriate choice of a place to relieve himself, the problem may be as simple as a curable bladder infection -- unless he has picked up on the fact that you would like to see him dead and is doing it to get back at you. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, "Tom," and I just spent the weekend with his older brother, "George." George spent most of the weekend mocking and mimicking me, and he even made fun of my chronic health condition. Tom kept telling me not to be so sensitive and to ignore George's "sense of humor." Afterward, I told Tom I wouldn't remain silent in the future, and I wished he had said something like, "That's enough,
George," on my behalf. Tom insists it isn't his place. He thinks I should accept George as he is "since we all have our faults." While I want to maintain my relationship with Tom, I need to limit my exposure to George, whose behavior I regard as abusive. Does this seem reasonable? -TIRED OF THE TEASING DEAR TIRED: Reasonable, yes. Whether it is possible may be questionable. I agree that George's behavior was abusive. It's a shame Tom was afraid to stand up to his older brother, but because he wouldn't intervene, you would have been within your rights to stand up for yourself, tell him his ridicule wasn't funny and leave. DEAR ABBY: I am 48 and married to a widower in his early 60s. Not long ago we moved into a 55-plus community. The problem is, every time we meet someone, they ask my husband why he robbed the cradle. I'm sick of hearing it. My husband is a warm, caring, loving man, who just laughs and says, "Yep!" How can I rebut those comments when they come, because my husband doesn't seem to be able? He wants everyone to like him, so he never makes waves. -NOT FROM THE CRADLE DEAR NOT FROM THE CRADLE: The comments aren't meant as an attack on your marriage. The next time someone says it, pipe up and say, "We were BOTH old enough to know what we wanted!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

OBITUARIES Sylvia Charlotte Good
Sylvia Charlotte Good, 83, of Crescent City, California, died peacefully with her family around her on October 16, 2021, of natural causes. Sylvia (Sue) was born in Depew, Oklahoma, on August 27, 1938, to the parents of Charles & Dolly Gray. She was the youngest of 10 children in the Gray family
who moved to Madera, California, as migrant farmers, working the cotton and grape fields. Sue met Dexter Duane Good and married on February 27, 1957. Sue enjoyed family and friends. Children were the pride and joy of her life. She was a woman of faith and loved Jesus. “To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord” 2 Corinthians 5:8. She is now in the arms of Jesus. She will be missed, but not forgotten. Sue was preceded in death by her husband, Dexter, and her son Jerry Good. She is survived by her sisters, Carmelita Ford of Buena Park, Jeraldine Bumgarner of Grassy Valley and brother Paul
Dean Gray of Corona, California. Daughters Cheryle Good and Linda Brixey (husband Michael); son Gary Good; her grandchildren, Terri, Dexter, Jason, Curtis, Matthew, Kristina, Rebecca, Drew, Jeremy, Sara; and 16 great grandchildren. There will be no funeral or memorial services. The Family would like to thank Sutter Sacramento Hospital for the care and compassion they gave our mother. We will see you soon Mom. Arrangements are under the direction of Wier’s Mortuary Chapel. Please sign the family’s online guest book at wiersmortuary.com
Blood bank celebrates 70 years The Northern California Community Blood Bank recently celebrated the significant milestone of 70 years serving Humboldt and Del Norte Ccunties. To celebrate the milestone, the community was invited to join staff October 6 at the Blood Center located at 2524 Harrison Avenue. Some donors received a commemorative pint glass in celebration of the event. The center was created in 1948 and incorporated in 1951 by physician
members of the Humboldt-Del Norte County Medical Society and with financial support of Elks Lodge 652. The organization has continued to meet the needs of local patients with the support of an extremely generous North Coast community with the collection of whole blood and platelets, plasma and red blood cells by apheresis at their Eureka location and with mobile blood drives throughout the North Coast region.

The following project(s) are located within the California Coastal Zone: DATE OF HEARING: November 3, 2021 TIME OF HEARING: 6:00 p.m. PLACE OF HEARING: VIA Zoom (media.del-norte.ca.us) ***Coastal Grading Permit for Repairs to Last Chance Grade on U.S. Highway 101. Due to storm events occurring in February 2021 and sudden slide movement at PM 15.28 on U.S. 101, parts of the roadway experienced damage. The purpose of this project is to restore full and efficient access within the project area in a manner that would prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, and essential services. The project is needed to stabilize the slide, prevent additional material from coming onto the highway, and prevent future road closure. Work to repair and restore the area includes repairing and replacing guardrail, repair and replace drainage systems and roadside drainage, roadway and landslide excavation and installation
of a rock fall barrier (cable net and drapery system) upslope of the highway. Work was immediately undertaken following the issuance of local Emergency Coastal Permit by the County and is ongoing until completed. CGP-2021-11C located at Highway 101 at Mile Post 15.28, Klamath, CA. ***Boundary Adjustment - The applicant proposes to adjust the lot line between two adjacent parcels under their ownership. The project involves the transfer of approximately one (1) acre from APN 105-020-092 to APN 105-020-091, resulting in the former parcel going from 7.25 acres to 6.25 acres and size and the latter parcel going from 5.41 acres to 6.41 acres in size. No existing improvements are located within the area to be adjusted and minimum lot size requirements are maintained. This boundary adjustment will not create any new parcels. Both parcels are zoned CRC(A) (Commercial Recreational with a Coastal Access combining district overlay), RCA-2(e) (Resource Conservation Area with an Estuary designation), and RCA-2(r) (Resource Conservation Area with a Riparian Vegetation designation). The General Plan land use designation is VSC (Visitor Serving Commercial). - AB2112C - APN 105-020-091, APN 105020-092 - 3020 S. Fred Haight Drive, Smith River. *** Use Permit for the Upper Tryon Creek Stream Enhancement Project located at Tryon Creek near Lake Earl Drive. The project area extends 0.27 miles upstream and .56 miles downstream of Lake Earl Drive for a total of 4,400 feet. The goals of the project are to improve the migration of salmonids, restore natural hydrologic function, restore instream habitat and to enhance riparian habitat. The applicant proposes to accomplish the goals by restoring historic meanders, removing earthen berms in the floodplain, creating multiple backwater alcoves, removing one existing stream crossing, upgrading two existing stream crossings, removing invasive plants, planting native plants, and creating an 85-foot wide fenced riparian area along the restored creek corridor. The project area is zoned Agriculture Exclusive (AE), General Resource Conservation Area (RCA-1) and Designated Resource Conservation Area - Riparian Habitat (RCA-2(r)).

The applicant plans to add 81 storage units that would be located in three separate new single story buildings approximately 2,500 square feet (25’ wide by 100’ long), 4,000 square feet (40’ wide by 100’ long) and 2,500 square feet (25’ wide by 100’ long). The total square footage is 9,000 square feet. The west half is developed with three single story storage buildings totaling 13,500 square feet. The new metal buildings would be constructed in the east half of the 1.38 acre parcel in an area cleared during a prior subdivision. Primary access to the storage units would be from the existing encroachment from S. Railroad Avenue that serves the existing storage units. A biological assessment was prepared for the project which did not identify any sensitive habitat or wetlands on the parcel or within 100 feet of the parcel. The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is General Commercial and the Zoning designation is C-2 District (Light Commercial). B36521C - APN 117-020-051 located at 1565 S.

Published: October 22, 2021 -----------------------------------------NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, based on a “preliminary analysis”, the acting lead agency intends to adopt a negative declaration for the project(s) listed on this notice. A copy of the proposed Negative Declaration is available for public review at the Community Development Department, Planning Division, 981 H Street, Suite 110, Crescent City, CA, 95531. The public review period for proposed negative declarations is 30 days from the date of this notice. This proposed negative declaration is intended for adoption by the Del Norte County Planning Commission as “lead agency”. The Commission will consider the project(s) listed at the following hearing: DATE OF HEARING: December 1, 2021 TIME OF HEARING: 6:00 p.m. PLACE OF HEARING: 981 H Street, Suite 100 and VIA Zoom (media.del-norte.ca.us) ITEM(S) TO BE CONSIDERED: *** Minor Subdivision of a 19.83± parcel into three parcels approximately 2- acres each in size. The parcel is zoned Forest Recreation - two acre minimum lot size (FR-2); the General Plan land use designation is RR (1/1) (Rural Residential one dwelling unit per one acre) and RR (1/- 5) (Rural Residential - one dwelling unit per five acres). The applicant recently received approval to adjust the eastern 12± acres of the parcel to the adjoining property owner. A minimum of 7 acres will be retained along the South Bank Road frontage to complete the subject project. The applicant also owns a 1-acre parcel located on South Bank Road that is surrounded on two sides by the subject parcel. The applicant submitted a boundary adjustment application to reconfigure the 1-acre parcel and to adjust one acre of the 19.83 acres to conform to the current zoning designation and to be similar in size and dimension to the three proposed parcels. A comment letter from the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife was received through the circulation of the Initial Study resulting in a biological assessment and wetland delineation being prepared. A wetland was identified which will be protected through a buffer ranging from 25 feet wide to 50 feet wide. The three parcels all have frontage on South Bank Road and will be served by onsite wastewater treatment systems and individual wells. The project is located within the floodplain and floodway of the Smith River. Any future development will comply with the County’s Flood Damage Prevention ordinance which requires constructing above the 100-year base flood elevation. MS2103- APN105130-005 located immediately of 6012 South Bank Road, Crescent City, CA. *** Coastal Grading Permit for the Hunter Creek Bridge Replacement at Requa Road. The Hunter Creek bridge at Requa Road is located approximately 700 feet west of the US 101 intersection with Requa Road and provides the only access to the community of Requa. Del Norte County, as owner of the bridge, proposes to replace the bridge to improve public safety and to increase hydraulic capacity. The alignment for the new bridge and roadway approaches would largely follow the existing alignment but would be offset slightly to the south (downstream) to permit two- year stage construction while maintaining through traffic. The project area corresponds to an existing Del Norte County right-of-way (ROW) easement through portions of adjacent parcels, although minor additional ROW would be required. The new bridge would have a length of 210 feet with a 150-foot main span and a 60foot approach span and would provide two 11-foot traffic lanes
and 5-foot shoulder for a clear width of 32 feet, and barrier rails along both sides. The structure type would be a two-span steel girder bridge supported by abutments and a pier on large diameter driven cast-in-steel shell piles. The existing bridge would be removed and disposed of offsite. The project is expected to be constructed in two stages. Stage 1 construction is expected to occur between April 1, 2023 and October 31, 2023. Stage 2 construction is expected to occur between April 1, 2024 and October 31, 2024.

talked to fishermen, fish processors and many others to prepare a report for Congress. She said the fishing industry has voiced some concern, primarily the impact if the population booms like it has in Alaska. While sea otters typically have a diet of fish, Zwartjes said along the Oregon coast they would likely feed on sea urchins, Dungeness crab and clams. And if they were brought in, they could help heal the kelp forests, which have struggled to regain a footing after a heat wave and a die off of starfish led to a

massive increase in purple urchins. “They have a very beneficial impact on the kelp forest,” Zwartjes said. “Because the otters eat the urchins, it allows the kelp to regrow, so they have a very beneficial impact on the kelp beds.” Zwartjes said she had no timeline as to when sea otters could be brought to the coast, but she did say if the project moves forward, mass sightings of sea otters in Oregon is unlikely. “When they were on the Oregon coast, there were never very numerous,” she said. “There were only isolated pockets along the coast.” Contributed Photo

material disposal site. Consequently, the Crescent City Harbor District would like to remove dredge spoils from the upland dredged material disposal site and re-use the material elsewhere. Removal and disposal of the dredge spoils at a licensed disposal facility is not considered feasible due to the projected costs for transporting and disposing of soil at an appropriate facility. The Water Board regulates the re-use and disposal of solid waste in the region. The Water Board has indicated that reuse of the soil from the upland dredged material disposal site would require a permit issued under the Water Board’s waste discharge requirements (WDRs). The WDRs provide for a permit option or a permit waiver option. The Water Board determines which option is appropriate. Under the WDRs, the dredge

spoils may be moved from the current storage area to another location or locations, provided that the soil that is moved provides a “beneficial use” at the new location. Numerous beneficial uses have been defined, but beneficial uses that may be most applicable in the project area include use of the soil as fill to raise a target area elevation above a flood level or to address projected future sea level rise. The Water Board will not determine specifically what permit or permit waiver is required for soil management prior to reviewing a preliminary proposal for soil re-use. As the initial step in the permitting process, the Water Board will consider the proposed re-use of the soil, proposed reuse location(s), existing soil and groundwater analytical data, and other information provided. They will use this initial information to identify data gaps and determine what additional information and data are needed to evaluate the proposal. Following their review,

the Water Board may request additional data, information and evaluation, including but not limited to: ■ Description of other potential beneficial uses. ■ Chemical analytical data for soil/sediment proposed for re-use. ■ Maps showing proposed reuse locations and surrounding features (e.g., water courses, wetland, roads, surrounding land uses, etc.). ■ Soil chemistry data at the proposed re-use location(s). ■ Groundwater data (depth to groundwater and groundwater chemistry) at the proposed re-use location. SCOPE OF SERVICES The purpose of our services is to initiate the WDR process with the Water Board, with the goal of ultimately obtaining a permit or permit waiver that will authorize the Crescent City Harbor District to transfer soil from the upland dredged material disposal site to off-site location(s).

the sit out would have two outcomes for school-aged children: “First, they will lose time in school, when they’ve already lost half of 2020 and a big chunk out of last year,” said Harris. And second, Harris implied a local sit out would likely go unnoticed by the ones who make the decisions. “If our state legislature, or anyone else reaches out to a large school district then that superintendent can say how many students didn’t go to school and know the impact,” explained Harris. “But very seldom does Sacramento reach out about what’s happening in rural areas.” The sit out movement decided to take the issue to the schools, under the assumption that it would gain traction based on its fiscal impact to what’s referred to as the average daily attendance. Total ADA is defined as the total days of student attendance, divided by the total days of instruction. Last year, the California Department of Education decided to calculate its ADA funding based on pre-COVID attendance outcomes because a high absence and disengagement rate was anticipated while students learned from home. This year’s attendance numbers will impact funding levels for next year. On the Friday afternoon prior to the Monday sit out, Harris also penned and posted a letter on the district’s website stating opposition to the sit out. “School funding will not be impacted by absences but our children will be,” he wrote. In the letter, Harris also implied what he told The

According to the GeoEngineers document, work will begin immediately, but an anticipated end date was not stated.
Triplicate: Not sending students to school is akin to punishing the messenger. “This is not a school district mandate, it’s a state mandate,” Harris said. “We, as a district, are required to comply. It would be best if people contacted the governor, state senator, or the health department.” In July 2016, California Senate Bill 277, endorsed by Del Norte County representatives Assemblyman Jim Wood and Senator Mike McGuire, eliminated the personal and religious belief exemptions to the existing vaccine requirements for schools. As of now, religious and personal belief exemptions still exist for the COVID vaccine, but whether that will change prior to the July 1 anticipated deadline for vaccines to be delivered to 7th-12th grade students, is uncertain. Liz Snow, chief of staff for Assemblymember Wood, stated to the Triplicate that Wood supports the vaccine mandate for school-aged children, but “as far as vaccine legislation, he has no plans to pursue any proposals in that area.” “Quite honestly, I believe that the personal beliefs exemption should remain a component of this (the COVID vaccine),” said Harris. “It shouldn’t be forced on families, even nine months from now.” According to the Del County Unified School District COVID 19 Dashboard, which updates every Tuesday afternoon, there were six confirmed cases of COVID amongst students in the district over the past 10 days: Sunset High (1 case), Crescent Elk (1 case), and Margaret Keating Elementary (4 cases). The latest update reflects a slight uptick compared to the week prior, when there were five COVID positive cases reported at its schools: Del Norte High School (3 cases); Crescent Elk Middle School (1 case) and Redwood Elementary (1 case). All of the cases were amongst students. There were no reported cases amongst teachers or
staff over the last two weeks. Currently, California school employees must either be vaccinated, or agree to regular testing. In early October, the California Teachers Association, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and the California School Employees Association all endorsed COVID vaccine requirements in schools. It also appears that mandated vaccination requirements of teachers and staff within the Del Norte district didn’t compel the subgroups to join the Sit Out movement. “There were 18 certificated staff (teachers) and 21 classified staff who were out on Monday,” said Kissinger. “In speaking with our HR department, that’s not an outlier or significant number compared to a typical Monday.” Meanwhile, in school districts just over the border who don’t face vaccine mandates, the sit out movement went virtually unnoticed. “I have not yet checked yesterday’s daily attendance, but I am not aware of there having been a spike in absences of any sort, and this hasn’t been a topic of discussion for us,” said David Marshall, superintendent of the Brookings-Harbor School District. Shauna Schmerer, superintendent of Bandon School District #54, concurred. “The sit out didn’t impact us whatsoever,” she said. Schmerer added that with Oregon Governor Kate Brown only mandating masks in schools, “there are some loud voices against it, but they are a minority.” That could change, Schmerer said, were the Oregon Health Authority or the governor to decide students be vaccinated. “Oh yeah, that could turn into a state-wide issue,” Schmerer said. “I’m really hoping they don’t touch on that this year. There is a lot going on our district plates. Let’s ease into that and encourage vaccinations, but not require them.”

Study yields insights into the ecology of fishing jaguars, including rare social interactions
The World
By Sean Nealon Guest Article
Oregon State University researchers and a team of international scientists have gained new insights into the diet, population density and social interactions of a group of Brazilian jaguars. Fish and aquatic reptiles dominated the diet of the jaguars in a remote wetland area of Brazil, representing the first population of jaguars known to feed minimally on mammals. In addition, motion-triggered video cameras showed jaguars playing, fishing and traveling together. The findings, recently published in the journal Ecology, run counter to beliefs that jaguars are solitary mammals whose social interactions are limited to courting or disputes over territory, said Charlotte Eriksson, a doctoral student at Oregon State and lead author of the paper. The research took place in a seasonally flooded protected area in the northern portion of the Brazilian Pantanal, the largest freshwater wetland in the world. Fishing is prohibited in the area. No roads or human settlements are nearby, and cattle ranching is not allowed. The flooded nature of the region, plus the fact that researchers must cover themselves from head to toe due to an abundance of biting insets, make it a challenging place to work. “Everything is boat-based,” Eriksson said. “We obviously can’t drive. And we can’t really walk because there is water and there’s a ton of jaguars.” Taal Levi, an associate professor at Oregon State, initiated the project in collaboration with Brazilian researchers in the region in 2014 after Carlos Peres, a professor at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, described a place rumored to have an unusually high jaguar population density. Eriksson is a member of Levi’s lab. She began working on the project in 2017 for her doctoral research. Since then, she has visited the Brazilian site twice, in 2018 and for six weeks in August and September of this year.

For the just-published paper, researchers also collected jaguar scat. They identified nine prey items in 138 scats. The jaguar diet was dominated by three groups: reptiles (55%), fish (46%) and mammals (11%). This finding indicates jaguars in this region have by far the most aquatic diet and the least mammal consumption of any previously studied jaguar, the researchers said. Even tigers in the Sundarbans mangrove forest in India, which may be the most comparable large family of cats in a similar habitat to the jaguars in the Brazilian region, consume mostly land-based mammals. Researchers also trapped and GPS-collared 13 jaguars, who
spent on average 96% of their time in the study area. They estimated jaguar density was 12.4 per 100 square kilometers, or 36 square miles. That density is two to three times higher than what other scientists have found for jaguars in other regions of South America. The researchers believe the density is so high and the jaguars are interacting socially in ways not seen before because of the abundance and distribution of aquatic prey, which they refer to as aquatic subsidies, in the region. In other words, their biological needs are met so they have energy to burn or play. “If there is a lot of food around, there is less of a need to
fight over it,” Eriksson said. Researchers used data from 59 camera stations that were operational for 8,065 days from 2014 to 2018. Jaguars were detected on 95% of the cameras. In all, 1,594 videos of jaguars were obtained, representing 69 unique individual animals. The maximum number of unique jaguars captured by one camera was 15, including nine just in 2015. “Typically you see an apex predator very infrequently on camera because they move over really large areas,” Eriksson said. “Jaguars were the most frequently seen mammal on camera – which is really unusual.” Researchers documented 80 independent social interac-
tions between adult jaguars. Of those, 85% were between males and females, but 12 were between same-sex jaguars (one female-to-female interaction and 11 male-to-male.) Two males even spent 30 minutes in front of the camera playing. Other authors of the paper are Levi and Joel Ruprecht, both of Oregon State’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences in the College of Agricultural Sciences; Daniel Kantek, Selma Miyazaki and Ronaldo G. Morato from the Brazilian Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade; Manoel dos Santos-Filho from Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso, Brazil; and Peres.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
Del Norte fifth grader chosen as youth tree lighter Michael Mavris, a fifth-grade student from Mary Peacock Elementary in Del Norte County, was selected as the youth tree lighter in a surprise joint call between U.S. Representative Jared Huffman and Forest Supervisor Ted McArthur last week. Mavris’ essay was chosen out of 53 submissions using the prompt, “What does the theme ‘Six Rivers, Many Peoples, One Tree’ mean to you?” Huxley Cantrell of Trinity County and Merrik Wilton of Humboldt County were selected as their county’s respective winners. “Michael, Huxley, Merrik and the rest of the students submitted wonderful essays in our contest, and Michael’s heartfelt piece is a
wonderful addition to this holiday tradition,” Rep. Huffman said. “I am proud to represent the district which this year’s Capitol Christmas tree is from, and grateful that Michael will be able to accompany it to Washington, D.C.” As the youth tree lighter, Michael will first participate in the Harvest ceremony Oct. 24 providing an opportunity to read his essay aloud before traveling with a family member to Washington D.C. to participate in the lighting ceremony on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in early December. There will also be memorable keepsakes from Congressman Huffman’s office, the U.S. Forest Service and a monetary award
for the winning student and the two county winners. These prizes are made possible by funding provided by Daniel Gomez, retired fire captain/paramedic, North Tahoe Fire Protection District, and Jennifer Montgomery, retired director of the California Governor’s Forest Management Task Force. Flights are provided by Alaska Airlines. A portion of Michael’s essay reads: “As the lights are strung and the ornaments placed, we, the People who live in the tree’s symbolic shadow, hope that its beauty and grandeur provide a beacon to America and a reminder on this Christmas, that all things are possible.”

Prescribed burns planned in Redwood National and State Parks Redwood National and State Parks will conduct a series of prescribed burns this fall in the prairies and oak woodlands of the Bald Hills east of Orick. The prescribed fire season in the parks normally begins in early October as weather conditions permit. This year, the potential exists for fire to be used as a management tool in eight specific burn units in the Bald Hills: Schoolhouse, Coyote, Elk Camp, Childs, South Boundary as well as Upper and Lower Lyons. All eight units combined total approximately 2,558 acres. For thousands of years, Yurok, Tolowa, Chilula and Hupa people managed prairies and oak woodlands, and some coastal areas that are now within the parks with periodic fire to keep them open. Inten-
tional burning provided grazing and hunting areas for elk and deer, maintained important resources like tanoak trees and various basket weaving materials, kept trail and travel corridors open and lessened the prevalence of parasites, such as ticks, in the prairies. Early settlers who homesteaded the prairies continued the practice of broadcast burning until it was outlawed by the state in the 1930s. Since then, many of the prairies and oak woodlands have become encroached with Douglas fir and other conifers, which can eventually eliminate these important plant communities. The park’s 2015 Fire Management Plan provides for the use of fire to restore natural and cultural processes, to manage exotic plants and
conifers encroaching into prairie and oak woodland plant communities and to interpret and educate the public about the role of fire in the parks. The parks have successfully used prescribed fires to achieve these objectives since the early 1980s. If you are in the parks over the next several months, there will likely be additional activity and equipment on and near Bald Hills road. Smoke may linger on the roadways and traffic control may be in place. Please be cautious for your safety as well as those working on the prescribed burns. To learn more about the role of fire in the redwoods, check out the parks’ website at: https:// www.nps.gov/redw/learn/ management/firemanagement.htm

New Redwood CORE Hub Proposes Ambitious ‘Carbon Negative’ Goal for 2030 A new initiative, the Redwood Region Climate and Community Resilience Hub, has launched from the Humboldt Area Foundation/Wild Rivers Community Foundation to help improve local resilience across built and natural systems. By deepening regional cooperation the CORE Hub is poised to develop equitable solutions to address growing climate emergencies. The CORE Hub formed to help bring new resources to this region to reduce the many impacts of the climate emer-
gency, and lower the emissions that cause climate change at the same time. An overall goal of the CORE Hub is to investigate how the Redwood Region can become the first proven carbon-sequestering rural area in the U.S. by 2030, while increasing equitable outcomes as progress is made. This eight-year initiative will align emission reductions across tribal and local governments’ activities, public and private land and resource use, built and natural systems and other sectors. By prioritizing communities
that are under-resourced to more fully participate in solutions and decisions, the CORE Hub hopes to accelerate broad resilience across the Redwood Region, including transitions to clean energy and transportation. An immediate CORE Hub project is a series of briefings on offshore wind energy development, prioritizing under-represented, under-resourced communities with supports to participate. This follows a recent announcement from the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management of the process to license offshore wind production on the Pacific Coast. The CORE Hub will devote funding, coordination, research, and other community participation resources to help investigate offshore wind energy development in the region. This project has received the support of U.S. Congressman Jared Huffman, who believes the hub is a “powerful example of the community’s desire to move away from fossil fuels — and I’m looking forward to it shaping
this development process.” The region is home to many Native American sovereign tribal nations and indigenous cultures, and the CORE Hub specifically invests in tribal expertise, to increase partnerships with tribes in climate and community resilience. The CORE Hub has begun dialogues with the region’s Native American Tribes and communities to seek their direct input, sovereign decision-making, and increased collaboration in offshore wind energy and overall climate resilience.
