Plan OK’d to remove Klamath dams The Triplicate

California, Oregon and the Yurok and Karuk tribes announced an agreement to move forward with removing for dams on the Klamath River and begin the largest river restoration in U.S. history. The project, when completed, will address declines in fish populations, improve river health and renew tribal communities and cultures. The Memorandum of Agreement signed by the states of California and Oregon, the Yurok Tribe, the Karuk Tribe, PacifiCorp and the Klamath River Renewal Corporation describes how the parties will implement the amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement as negotiated and signed in 2016. The KHSA sets the terms for the

removal of four Klamath River dams. “The Klamath River is a centerpiece of tribal community, culture and sustenance and a national ecological treasure,” Governor Newsom said. “With this agreement, we are closer than ever to restoring access to 400 miles of salmon habitat which will be a boon to the local economy. I am grateful for the partnership between California and Oregon, the Yurok and Karuk Tribes and Berkshire Hathaway that proves when we work together, we can build a better, more inclusive future for all.” With the Memorandum of Agreement, the parties: • Jointly ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to remove PacifiCorp from the license for the project and add

California, Oregon and KRRC as co-licensees for carrying out dam removal. Adding the states as co-licensees provides assurances that the project will have sufficient financial backing while honoring settlement terms that stipulate PacifiCorp would not be a co-licensee for removal. • Demonstrate their firm commitment to dam removal. • Agree to nearly double available contingency funds held by KRRC and contractors and, in the unlikely event that additional funds are needed beyond that, Oregon, California and PacifiCorp will share the costs equally to address FERC’s requirement to ensure full funding for the project. • Confirm that the KRRC will remain the dam removal entity for the project. • Plan to navigate the final

As Monday opened at Crescent City City Hall, city employees fully intended to present a plan to reopen the city pool to city council that night. By early afternoon, it was clear any plan to open the pool would have to be delayed. With COVID-19 cases rising, the state of California moved Del Norte County from the orange tier to the red tier. Under the orange tier, which Del Norte County had been in for months, indoor swimming pools are allowed to open with certain protections in place. In the red tier, indoor swimming is not allowed. Despite the setback, City Manager Eric Wier and Recreation Director Holly Wendt presented their plan, giving the council the option of forging ahead or waiting until COVID cases slowed down. The Fred Endert Municipal Pool, an indoor facility that is usually open year-round, was closed in March due to COVID. Wendt said the plan staff had prepared was to reopen the pool for services such as lap swims, exercise programs and swim lessons. Open swim, the slide, sauna and spa were to remain closed. Wendt said there was also plans to bring in the swim team, physical therapy and masters swimming back. Wendt said the city’s plan would take six weeks to implement before opening. She explained that all the lifeguards would have to go through training, and with many students, training time was limited. Please see Pool, Page A2

Cat ladies helping reduce feral population By David Hayes The Triplicate

In a tourist town, pets are bound to get left behind by visitors. Especially cats, which led to a growing feral cat population in Crescent City. Katie Benoit and Dorothy Camarena have been working to reduce the number of feral cats here since a core group split from the Humane Society of Del Norte in 1992. Benoit said where members of the Humane Society wanted to concentrate on domestic cats, her group wanted

to focus on feral cats. Thus they formed the Wild Feline Rescue of Del Norte. Camarena said at their peak, the feral cat population head count topped 50. “We counted 50 and that is what we could see, as feral cats don’t like to be seen,” said Camarena. “The hungriest ones come out.” “You’ll see a certain amount of them, then you won’t see any. We spent years trapping and getting them altered and sending them back out,” Benoit added. “And now, I don’t see

too many when I go out and feed.” How do they describe the feral cat problem in Crescent City now? “Decreasing,” said Benoit, president of the organization. “We started out at the six or so places we were feeding at the harbor. We have a route we go out, set places, and feed feral cats. When we can, we trap them, get them spayed or neutered and return them. It’s called TNR — trap neuter release.” She added they don’t discuss the hot spots, to keep people

from going there due to past abuses upon the feral cats. “We had a guy who taught his kids how to crab. You catch kittens, put them in a cage and drown them,” Benoit explained. They go out between dusk and dark to feed the cats, giving them a narrow window of opportunity — after the birds are out but before the raccoons come out. “We want to catch them when the cats to come out,” Benoit said.

Council approves smoking ban By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

By a 4-1 vote, the Crescent City Council passed an ordinance banning smoking at multi-unit facilities in the city limits. The vote passed the second reading of an ordinance that was first approved two weeks ago. The ordinance will go into effect in January 2021. Landlords will have until June to share the information with all their tenants and by January 2022, all leases will include the ban in their agreements. Those violating the ordinance could face fines of between $250 and $1,000. The vote Monday mirrored the same vote two weeks earlier. The lone holdout was Councilman Jason Greenough. “We’ve talked about this ad nauseum the last three to four months,” Greenough said. “I think this is a liberty issue. I think

there are things in place in the state of California to take care of issues like this, and I really feel it needs to be left between people who are making the decisions on the ground, meaning the people who own the property and the people who are renting. That’s why I’m going to vote no on this. I’m not a smoker. I don’t think smoking is a good habit to have, but I can’t vote yes on this because of the liverty issue.” City resident Robert Derego also urged a no vote. “To me, it’s going to be like getting pulled over in your home,” he said. “You take a license and you say I can get pulled over on the road. Now we’re going to pull people over in their home. I would love it if you were to delay this one meeting and change it so the police department won’t enforce it. I think it’s between them and their landlord.” Please see Smoking, Page A2

No one was eriosuly injured Monday morning when a delivery truck crashed into an electric pole, causing the truck to catch on fire. Crescent City Fire & Rescue and Del Norte Ambulance were dispatched to the 2400 block of Elk Valley Road at 8:50 a.m. for a report of an accident. The initial call said the driver was still inside the vehicle. While emergency responders were driving to the scene, dispatchers said the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames and the driver has escaped the vehicle. When the fire department arrived, they found a large Enterprise delivery truck off the west side of the road with large flames coming from the rear cargo box. CALFIRE and the Pelican Bay State Prison Fire Department were also requested to respond to the scene. Fire Chief Bill Gillespie said the upper third of the electric pole was hanging in the air at the rear of the truck. Firefighters witnessed power lines burn through the truck and drop to the ground. Employees from Pacific Power and Light responded to the scene and confirmed the power lines were not energized, at which time firefighters pulled hoses

He said even if they appear dead, they should always be considered live. If power lines fall on your vehicle, stay in your car if possible. If the vehicle begins to burn and you must escape, do not step out. Instead, open the door fully and jump as far as you can.

But there were also residents in favor of the smoking ban. “I really commend you all for considering this,” Amber Wier said. “This is something that protects people who can’t protect themselves.” Wier said while talking to local residents about the issue, 35 percent of people living in multi-unit homes had health conditions that could be aggravated with second-hand smoke. “I would move into a condo in a heartbeat, but my fear is having to smell pot and cigarettes,” Natalie Fahning said. “To have to deal with that and live with that, I pity the people. Please, protect those who cannot have a word.” While banning smoking inside multi-unit homes, the ordinance does allow landlords to create smoking areas outdoors. The smoking areas must be 25 feet from where smoke can reach others and must be clearly marked. Mayor Pro Tem Heidi Kime made a motion to approve the ordinance and Councilman Alex Fallman seconded it. Mayor Blake Inscore and Councilman Isaiah Wright also voted in favor of the ban.

OBITUARIES

From A1

Mary Allison Crisp Greger Dec. 6, 1937 – Oct. 27, 2020

Mary Allison Crisp came into this world over 92 years ago. She was born December 6th, 1937 in Des Moines, Iowa to Edna and Earl Crisp. She also went to Iowa State University and met her future husband Leonard Holbrook in Iowa. After they married, they ran a general store in Dragerton, Utah before following the lead of their best friends Floyd and Elizabeth Morrison and moved to California. It was at the northern most tip of the state they would establish themselves along the Smith River and raise a family. A family that would grow and remain three generations later. Having worked in a library during college finding a librarian position at Del Norte High School was a natural fit. Mary worked as the head librarian until retirement. A job she truly enjoyed. Leonard also worked for the school district until retirement. In their off time, they enjoyed traveling and camping. They were fond of The Thousand Trails campgrounds which proved to be a great destination when accompanied by grandchildren which often did travel along. It was in 1985 that Leonard’s time would come and he passed at the age of 63. Mary was a long time

member of the Smith River United Methodist Church. A church very familiar and loved by her and her family. Her daughter would one day marry in this same church and great grand babies would be baptized here. She herself would one day remarry in this church to a man she adored, Robert Greger. He made her laugh and it was a true blessing for them have found each other after having lost their spouses in years past. Her laugh was more of a snicker that those of us close to her knew well. When she’d laugh it would light up her powder blue eyes. Mary was a big football fan. She loved watching her teams play and she did every chance she got. She followed Iowa state from her time at university and all the days forward. After so many years in California it’s fitting she was also

a dedicated 49ers fan. Following their new marriage Mary and Robert relocated to Lincoln City, Oregon. They lived here for many years overlooking the beautiful Pacific. When they weren’t at home, they continued to travel the country in a motor home visiting new places and with friends and family along the way. In their later years they spent time in Beaverton, Oregon and the last dozen in San Antonio, Texas to be near family there. Mary is survived by her daughter Suzan. Sons Richard and Frank. Ten Grandchildren. 20 Great Grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her brother Norman Crisp and late husbands Leonard Holbrook and Robert Greger. Mary has touched many. Forever imprinting her life and love. She’ll be missed deeply but never forgotten. A service will not be held.

Mrs. Grace Mueller (September 26, 1924 – October 23, 2020) passed away on October 23, 2020. Grace lived in Crescent City for 30 years. Grace’s years in Crescent City were filled with many activities which she enjoyed. Everything from trips to Ashland for plays, Women’s Club, Bunco, Canasta and Book Talk. Grace enjoyed the friendships that were formed over the years but never forgot her beginnings in North Dakota. Most precious to Grace

was a good book. Her love of reading was instilled in her at a young age by her parents when, at that time, books were hard to come by and “must be read all the way through whether it was a good book or not”! Grace lost her husband Arnold in 1994. She is survived by 4 children, 7 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren, and 1 greatgreat grandchild. Services will be private. Grace will be terribly missed by those who knew her best.

Taken together, the provisions are intended to resolve FERC’s concerns raised in a July 2020 order and ensure a successful dam removal project. “This is an incredibly important step forward on the path towards restorative justice for the people of the Klamath Basin, and towards restoring health to the river as well as everyone and everything that depends on it,” Oregon Governor Kate Brown said. “From time immemorial, the stewardship of the indigenous peoples of the Klamath basin have nurtured the lands, waters, fish and wildlife of this region. In Oregon, the Klamath tribes remember a time when their livelihoods were supported by clean, healthy, and vibrant waters. It is that vision, that promise, that we are working towards restoring for the generations to come.” “I want to thank Governor Newsom and Governor Brown for their leadership in bringing everyone together to collaborate and solve a very complex challenge,” Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett said. “I recognize the importance of Klamath dam removal and river restoration for tribal people in the Klamath Basin. We

appreciate and respect our tribal partners for their collaboration in forging an agreement that delivers an exceptional outcome for the river, as well as future generations. Working together from this historic moment, we can complete the project and remove these dams.” “As Yurok tribal people, it is our sacred duty to bring balance to the Klamath River,” Yurok Tribe Chair Joseph James said. “At its heart, dam removal is about healing and restoration for the river, for the salmon, and for our people. We have never wavered from this obligation and we are pleased to see dam removal come closer to reality through this agreement. Reaching this important milestone would not be possible without the many tribal people who have dedicated their lives to restoring the river. We want to thank Berkshire Hathaway, PacifiCorp, California, Oregon, and the Karuk Tribe. Although we are excited to be moving forward again, we want to emphasize that the Yurok Tribe will never rest until the dams are out and the river is healed. From the families on the Klamath we want to thank the Buffett family for their support and leadership.” “We deeply appreciate the efforts of Governors Newsom and Brown, the Yurok Tribe and the leadership of Berkshire Hatha-

way to forge a path forward on dam removal,” Karuk Tribe Chair Russell “Buster” Attebery said. “We are more confident than ever that future generations of Karuk will enjoy the benefits of a healthy Klamath River just as their ancestors did dating back to the beginning of time. Most importantly, this moment is a testament to years of devotion and hard work by the community of activists representing all Tribes on the river who have never tired of demanding justice for their communities.” “We are deeply grateful to the parties who negotiated a path forward for this epic project to restore the Klamath River,” KRRC Chief Executive Officer Mark Bransom said. “As has been the case numerous times in the past, the signatories to the KHSA have tackled obstacles head on and found creative solutions to daunting problems. But we particularly recognize the personal involvement of Governor Newsom, Governor Brown and Berkshire Hathaway leadership who stepped in to ensure that dam removal proceeds. Once all the necessary approvals are obtained it will be full speed ahead in removing the Klamath dams and allowing salmon to access habitat that has been cut off for a century.”

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Guest Commentary

Stay safe so we can stop spread of COVID-19 By now, most of you who have been following the COVID developments in our county have realized that we have seen a big (for us) jump in case counts, with over 50 cases in about two weeks. If you are really following local events, you know that cases in the surrounding counties have also picked up quite a bit. Pretty much everywhere in California there is an increase, not as dramatic compared to some parts of the nation, but definitely a change from where we were a month or two ago. Lastly because of all of this, as of yesterday our county moved into a more restrictive tier, the Red Tier. I think that it is safe to say that the fall surge that was predicted is happening, and in some places around the country, it is becoming alarming. We are not immune to this effect, and no longer is any part of our region of California. Two of the three closest counties to us have moved even further, with a drop to the Purple

Tier (the most restrictive), and even Modoc County, one of the last places in the state to record its first case of COVID-19 this summer, has moved to Red Tier as well. We should expect to see even more activity before we see less, and we should expect this to continue for some time to come. Our local landscape could change in a way that we have not seen yet with this virus. It’s kind of a sobering thought, or it should be. So, more than ever, we should dial back what we have been doing. We know that it is a hard message to hear, but the majority of the recent cases are related to workplace or after work exposure and family contacts with parties and gatherings, with these categories combined accounting for about 90% of recent cases. Too many people have relaxed the rules a bit too much at their workplace, or are spending too much time with friends and coworkers and not taking precautions. The consequences are

the numbers we are seeing for these last few weeks. It is not a good trend, and sooner or later it will start to impact our medical system. We need to remember that there are two reasons that we are so cautious with this virus, the first is the risk to the most vulnerable, and the second is the risk to the medical care system that we all depend on to save lives when lives need saving. For those businesses that have their activity tied to tiers, we strongly recommend that you check what happens for your particular business in the Red (Tier 2) level. For those out there in our community who have been lax with wearing masks or enforcing that and other rules about COVID 19, now is a good time to reconsider. We don’t want to point fingers at anyone, and this is not a blame game, but if wewant to at least keep where we are, or get back to where we were as fast as possible, we need to do better, or at least some of us need to. We know that wearing face

masks has been controversial, but the evidence has grown immensely about the benefits of doing this simple thing. The CDC consensus is that the benefits are well worth the effort in terms of case counts and deaths. Wearing masks benefit both the wearer and the community. Breathing is a two way process, and the mask blocks in both directions. Not 100%, no, but it is just common sense that even 50% blockage is a lot better than none. All the studies and analysis really boils down to that simple, common sense conclusion (for those that want to dig further into this question, the link to the CDC summary is provided below). We need to get more people wearing masks both in the workplace and out, and especially at home. With holidays coming this last point is especially true. There is just no getting around it; if we can’t do a better job, we will probably join the rest of the state and nation, and have worse restrictions to cope with. I don’t think any of us

want to see that happen. So with that in mind, we suggest to all who can, to go back to that shelter-in-place way of life that we all endured back in March and April. This is not a health order or a mandate, but we think that it is so important to get back ahead of this virus, that it would be wrong to not mention this. We just need people to take better precautions, and cut down on unnecessary and unwise contacts with each other, because over and over we are hearing stories of exactly that. Most importantly, if you are high risk, you need to think of yourself as living in an unsafe zone now, wherever you go in our county. Stay home! Stay safe! Don’t take any chances with this virus if you don’t have to, you will help yourself, your family and your community. Dr. Warren Rehwaldt Del Norte County public health officer

She added they have just three regular volunteers, a few others who drop in over the years and a some others who choose to do community service with their nonprofit. “I have a friend who comes with me to feed the cats for 15 years, Jan,” Benoit said. “She decides whether to drive or feed, and if the weather is nasty, she feeds because she’s got water proof stuff. She’s named herself the Cat Food Fairy. If she can’t come, then my husband comes with me.” “We’ve got the population down,” Camarena added. “Between predators and natural selection, the average life expectancy for feral cats is two years. If they’re taken care of by a group like ours, it’s four years.” To help control the feral cat population, they have turned to one veterinarian, Rick Leither, who over the years who has done most of the surgeries. “He owns the pawn shop. He’s a retired vet with a licensed spay wagon at his home,” Benoit said. “But he’s retiring and moving to Montana.” Performing all those surgeries comes with a price. To pay for them, they opened up Purple Cat Thriftshop, with Camarena as current store manager. The Purple Cat is now in its fourth location at 457 Vance Avenue, next to the Best Western Hotel off Highway 101. Benoit said they pay for all the cat care through selling the items at the thrift store and all items are donated. “We take everything

“We planned that it would take six weeks, and we could have all our lifeguards certified, conditioned and ready for reopening,” Wendt said. The proposal would include costs of between $23,000 and $29,000 a month for payroll and other expenses. In addition, the city is hoping to hire an aquatics supervisor to lead the pool. In all, the plan called for expenses of $315,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year. Wendt and Wier said the recent

We don’t buy things to sell,” she added. “We pay for the utilities. We have paid off the building. We pay for the insurance. I’ve done the arithmetic and it’s 98% for the cats. There are no other charities that brag about that. They’ll say 57% goes to the charity. Wrong, 98%, honey. Because we’re all willing to donate our time.” They also occasionally get domestic cats dropped off. They had five in the store as of Nov. 10. “We adopt the cats out for $50, that includes the

fact they’ve been spayed or neutered and had their flu shots,” Benoit said. They are in process of building a cat room up front with a glass wall so donated cats don’t have to live in cages. In addition, they have free certificates for spay or neuter services for anyone who comes in to ask, for cats and dogs. What they don’t have enough of is volunteers. “We’re in desperate need for volunteers who are reliable,” Benoit said. “Dorothy and I are getting older and we won’t be here forever. Whether it’s an hour a week, an hour a month or an hour a day, we’ll take it. This will hopefully be here forever

until all the cats in the world are spayed and neu-

tered, and that’s not going to happen.”

passing of Measure S would provide much of the funding needed for the pool. Measure S raises tax revenue for police, fire and the city pool. It was approved by more than 64 percent of voters. Once open, Wendt said each activity would be set for 45 minutes, giving staff 15 minutes to sanitize the pool area before a new group began. Heading into Monday, that was the plan, with a reopening date of early January. “Things have changed substantially over the last couple of days,” Wier said. “The numbers have skyrocketed, and we’re seeing this all over the

nation. Del Norte has gone from orange to red. The pool cannot open in red. Is this an anomoly or is this something we can expect for the winter months.” Del Norte County reported five cases Thursday, 10 Friday and an additional 15 over the weekend. Wendt said while opening the pool was no longer allowed, the city still wanted to move forward with hiring an aquatics director. Even if work at the pool is limited short-term, the person hired can help in other areas. Wier said several good candidates have applied, and interviews could begin almost immediately, with council approval.

After hearing the presentation, council members said opening the pool right now just isn’t feasible. “I think out of public health concerns, it doesn’t make sense to open the pool,” Councilman Alex Fallman said. “We have time to wait a little while longer. I’m not anxious to open the pool. Del Norte is not protected because of our isolated status.” “There is a lot of work to be done to where we could open,” Mayor Pro Tem Heidi Kime said. “I think taking a measured approach would be the right way.” Mayor Blake Inscore said it would not be re-

sponsible for the council to move forward with no certainty about when the pool can open. “With that kind of uncertainty, I cannot fiscally bring all the employees on,” the mayor said. “We can’t be spending $40,000 a month on employees and not be able to open the pool. I think for the sake of our community and clear messaging to our commu-

nity, I don’t think we need to consider a reopening plan until the first of the year.” After discussing the proposal, the council voted 5-0 to move ahead with hiring the aquatics director while holding off on any action that would reopen the pool. The council agreed to get updates regularly, but for now the pool will remain closed.

How PG&E is improving Public Safety Power Shutoffs in 2020.

Smaller, shorter, smarter.

PG&E is working to make PSPS events smaller, shorter and smarter, by:

Installing over 600 devices that redirect power to limit the size of outages

Using more than 765 advanced weather stations to pinpoint where severe weather is most likely to occur

2

Adding backup generation in some high fire-threat communities to keep the lights on

Nearly doubling our helicopter fleet from 35 to 65 and adding more field crews to cut restoration time in half compared to 2019

Upgrading our Community Resource Centers (while following COVID-19 health guidelines such as the use of masks and social distancing) by providing water, snacks, and other resources

California takes steps to slow spread of virus By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

With COVID-19 cases rising quickly in California, the state it taking steps to slow down the surge. On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced almost the entire state was being out on tier 1 restrictions. One of the exceptions is Del Norte County, which is on tier 2, or red, restrictions. “We are sounding the alarm,” said Governor Newsom. “California is experiencing the fastest increase in cases we have seen yet – faster than what we experienced at the outset of the pandemic or even this summer. The spread of COVID-19, if left unchecked, could quickly overwhelm our health care system and lead to catastrophic outcomes. That is why we are pulling an emergency brake in the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Now is the time to do all we can – government at all levels and Californians across the state – to flatten the curve again as we have done before.” Under the tier 2 restrictions, some non-essential businesses will be closed. Schools that have reopened can remain open but additional testing for teachers will be mandated. Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of California Health and Human Services, urged Californians to

follow the science to slow the spread. In the first week of November, California saw its fastest surge in cases since the pandemic began in March. New cases rose by 47 percent in that week, topping the surge seen in June when cases rose by 37 percent. “Certainly cases are on the rise here in California, and we are concerned,” Ghaly said. “We always hope to have positive news, but this isn’t positive news. Cases are rapidly rising.” Ghaly reminded California residents to abstain from high-risk activities. What exactly are high-risk activities? According to Ghaly, they include: * Activities that make it difficult to wear a mask the entire time, such as eating and drinking. * Activities with people outside your household. * Activities where it is difficult to social distance. * Activities of a long duration, more than 60 to 90 minutes. * Activities indoors that don’t allow fresh air to circulate. A big step the state took last week was issuing a travel advisory, along with Oregon and Washington. The three states asked their residents to stop all non-essential travel. “We encourage Californians to stay close to home, to avoid non-essen-

the Month is Arlene Krogstad. Arlene’s work includes beautiful beach scenes and pictures of Battery Point Lighthouse. The Art Association is also holding their annual Membership Drive. Membership for the 2021 year is $40 for one person or $45 for a family in the same household. The Gallery is located at 140 Marine Way in Crescent City, and is open Tuesday - Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and closed Monday. Face coverings are required. For more information call 707-464-9133.

Gallery of Arts and Culture

The Gallery of Arts & Culture at 175 H St., Crescent City, is now open. Masks and gloves will be required according to the Department of Public Health, until they are certain the virus is abating. The Gallery has been sanitized and freshened, and is ready to welcome guests and visitors. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. For more in-

tial travel to other states, other countries and, frankly, across the state,” Ghaly said. “We think this is how we can add to our toolkit to avoid cases. This is all very fluid. These rates of rise are very concerning. We’re always looking at what is going to help us keep all Californians safe. If a strengthened travel advisory is needed, we will look at that.” In addition to limiting travel, the three states are asking all people who come into their states from elsewhere to voluntarily quarantine for 14 days. During that two-week period, anyone coming from out of state is urged to limit contact to those they live with. Ghaly said the travel advisory is just an advisory now. He said the state hopes numbers will begin to go down and stronger

steps won’t be needed. One key for all in the state, Ghaly said, is to limit gatherings with people outside your home. “When you are gathering with others, have it outdoors because that reduces risk,” he said. To slow down the spread, California is asking residents to do the following: * Check with your local health authorities. Ghaly said cases are different in different counties and regions, so it’s always best to check with local officials. * Wear a mask. * Keep your distance from others. * Keep gatherings small, with no more than two others families. * Keep gatherings short. * Keep windows open when indoors. * Protect older and atrisk friends and families.

“Just over 10 percent of our cases are over the age of 65, but that group makes up 70 percent of our deaths in California,” Ghaly said. At this point in time, California officials are asking residents to take steps to slow the COVID spread. But if more is

eeded, more will be done, Ghaly said. “We are not looking, today, at a statewide stayat-home order,” Ghaly said. “Californians are sick and tired. This is a rapidly-evolving situation, and we will do what it takes to protect all Californians.”

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

HABIT OF ONE-UPMANSHIP PUSHES WOMEN’S FRIENDSHIP TO THE LIMIT DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I’ll call Josie. She’s kind, generous and always willing to help. There is only one problem -- she lies. The lies she tells are ridiculous. I find myself getting more and more angry as she stumbles through her stories. If someone makes a comment, she takes over the conversation and we hear a looong story about the same thing happening to her but much worse. I could say I climbed Mount Everest and Josie would say she climbed it twice. What can I say or do to get her to stop lying? I’m so tired of it I’m thinking of quietly ending my friendship with her. -TRUTH WINS IN TENNESSEE DEAR TRUTH WINS: One

person trying to convince her to stop probably won’t do the trick. Josie won’t quit lying until she finally hears it from others and realizes that it isn’t achieving the desired effect, which is standing front and center in the spotlight. Tell Josie in plain English that what she’s doing is infuriating and that she’s doing herself no favors. But when you do, realize it will probably be part of a farewell speech rather than an opportunity for a new beginning. *** DEAR ABBY: I can’t travel

too far by myself because I’m agoraphobic. I’m having my house painted, and I asked my brother if he could pick up some paint because I needed more. He brought the paint to me and I reimbursed him. He then accused me of being needy and using him because I mentioned I was short on gas money for the trip. Abby, when I ask him to do things for me, I pay him 90% of the time. I don’t ask for his help often, but that time, he argued with me about gas money. Needless to say, I gave him $20. My brother isn’t struggling financially. He has money. He’s supposed to be a deacon in his church and calls himself a good Christian. He really hurt my feelings, and he said other mean things about my health issues. What should I do about this? -IN NEED IN THE EAST

DEAR IN NEED: Your brother may have been in a bad mood the day you asked him for the favor. Have you told him that he hurt your feelings? If you didn’t, rather than nurse hurt feelings, clear the air. If this has happened more than once, find a “better” Christian to ask. *** DEAR ABBY: This letter is for people who are involved with folks who say they are separated. If you have feelings for someone who is separated, ASK when they plan on getting divorced. If they come up with excuses like there are children involved, property disputes or they can’t afford a lawyer, end the relationship immediately. Do not start dating or sleeping with a separated person. They can easily return to their spouse, leaving you high and dry (or pregnant, if you’re female). Just remain

friends until they are divorced, and afterward proceed with any relationship you two desire. Bottom line: “Separated” means STILL MARRIED. While I’m not in this situation, I have known several people who were, and they regretted it. -- WORD OF WARNING IN VIRGINIA DEAR WORD: That’s pragmatic advice, and I hope readers will heed your warning. As anyone who has read my column knows, I have printed countless letters from heartbroken readers who wasted time and energy on partners who weren’t free. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Del-Norte raised author releases latest novel

William E. (Bill) Roberts, an American actor, author and voice artist living in London, England, has published his latest novel, “The Rivers: An Arnold Rednapp Mystery,” which is set up the Klamath River amongst the Karuk, Hupa and Yurok people, with parallel stories in the modern day and back in the pioneer period of 1899. Roberts lived in the area throughout his teenage years, growing up on the Smith River, attending Redwood Union Elementary School and then Del Norte High, Class of 1961.

He next moved to Arcata to complete a Batchelor of Arts degree in Theatre Arts at Humboldt State, which he completed in 1967. Older locals will remember his many appearances playing leading roles in plays and musicals performed during his years at DNHS, under the guidance of the inspirational and charismatic Darrel “Red” Cutter. After five years working as an actor and director at the Oregon Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, Roberts then moved to England, where he has been a member of British Actors’

William Roberts Equity since 1969. He has enjoyed an active and highly successful career appearing on stage in repertory and in the West End. He most notably played Slim in the long-running production of Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” at the Mermaid Theatre, London,

1984. He’s also enjoyed roles in on BBC Radio dramas and on television and in films. His television credits include roles in the BBC TV version of Dickens’ “Martin Chuzzlewit,” “War and Remembrance,” “The Woman He Loved” and “Inspector Morse.” His film credits include “Deathwish 3,” “D.A.R.Y.L.,” “Navy Seals,” “Cold Mountain” and “Mission Impossible Five: Rogue Nation.” Roberts is also well known for his many appearances in computer games, playing a range of characters, from military officers to gangsters to expert medieval swordsmen (e.g. Vesimir in the acclaimed game “The

Witcher”). Though now in receipt of his United Kingdom pension, Roberts still works, these days mostly recording audiobooks and game voices, which, during the period of restricted movement owing to COVID-19, he his able to record from his home studio in south London. Roberts said he started writing “a dozen or so years ago,” and has so far published five books – three novels, a book of short stories and a collection of stories, reflections and memories. His second novel, “An Ill Wind,” another mystery set primarily in and around Del Norte County, was launched several years

ago in Crescent City with a book signing party at The Gallery of Arts and Culture. Roberts hoped to do the same with his new novel, “The Rivers,” but was unable to owing to the travel restrictions imposed by the virus. All of his books, however, including “The Rivers,” are available still at The Gallery, as well as from Amazon.com – several recorded as audiobooks read by Roberts. Though he cannot at the moment be here to launch the new book himself, Roberts said he hopes its local subject matter will draw Del Norte residents to give it a read, whether or not they remember him from the old days.
