COVID cases surge as Omicron takes hold By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate
As Omicron surges in California, Del Norte County is not escaping the massive increase in new cases. On Tuesday, Del Norte County Public Health reported 118 new cases were confirmed over the holiday weekend. The new cases bring new cases in the last two weeks to 340, with the county
reporting 386 active cases. Very little of the current surge is linked to Pelican Bay State Prison, with the prison reporting just three new cases in the last two weeks and no new cases over the weekend. Since the pandemic began, there have been 4,403 confirmed COVID cases in the county, with just more than half reported in men. Forty-one people have died
in the county after contracting the virus. While cases are surging, there has not been much impact at local hospitals. According to public health, just one person in the county is hospitalized with COVID, a decrease from five in the hospital a week earlier. Most public health officials say the best way to avoid COVID, especially hospital-
ization or death is to get vaccinated against the virus. In that threshold, Del Norte County is well behind most of California. According to the county’s public health department, 53.8 % of residents over age 12 have been fully vaccinated. Statewide just more than 67% of people have been vaccinated. Local health officials expect the case counts to continue
to grow in the coming weeks thanks to the high transmission rate of Omicron. Studies have shown every person who gets Omicron passes it to 3.2 other people, a rate that makes it twice as contagious as the common flu. Many health officials expect the surge to continue until at least the middle of February, when they expect case counts to rapidly fall.

Several Monterey Cypress trees will be removed in Crescent City after an arborist determined they were diseased or infested.
More trees to be cut down in Crescent City By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate
Several more trees - 22 of them - will be removed in Crescent City at and near Beachfront Park. The latest batch of trees to be removed were inspected as part of a recent study by an arborist, who also determined last year that a cluster of 70-year-old
Monterey Cypress trees in front of the Crescent City Library also need to be removed due to bacterial and fungal infections. Turner Chopping, LLC will be removing the most recently-identified trees for $12,605, which will be funded through the city’s Risk Management Accreditation Program. RMAP funds are rebates that
go back to the city through the Golden State Risk Management Authority insurance program, which allows city officials to use the monies to improve safety and reduce risk and liability. The city has used some of its RMAP funds in the past for safety-related improvements, such as sidewalk grinding, playground repairs and updated vests for the
police department. The types of trees to be cut down include eucalyptus, cedar, pine and cypress trees. Over half of them are located behind the Cultural Center, and the rest are near the Fred Endert Pool, Beachfront Park, the Del Norte Library parking lot and the parking lot on Front Street between G and H Streets.

An underground earthquake in Tonga caused a tsunami warning in California and Oregon, more than 5,000 miles away. While the tsunami waves caused little damage, they did lead to large waves in the Pacific Ocean along the coast.
Tsunami threat passes with little impact By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate
An underground volcano that erupted near Tonga caused concern along the Oregon and California coasts Saturday morning. The volcanic eruption Friday night caused significant damage from tsunamis and ash in Tonga, but it sent waves more than 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean. Around 7 a.m., notices from the
Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Curry County Sheriff’s Office and the National Weather Service warned of tsunamis along the Pacific Northwest. The waves were expected to reach Northern California shortly after 7 a.m., parts of Curry County by 7:30 and the Charleston and Bandon areas in Coos County shortly after 8 a.m. The warnings urged those in low-lying areas near the coast
to be cautious an to evacuate to higher grounds. When the waves did arrive, the impact was minimal with waves rising less than three feet. But the impact in the ocean could be seen for hours as massive waves could be seen up and down the coast. In Charleston, waves crashing into rocks sent plumes of water soaring 50 feet or more into the air. Park ranges at Sunset Bay shut down the beach for several

hours as the active waves and strong tides presented a danger. There were no reports of damage in the region, although the active ocean did draw large crowds interested in seeing the after effect of the volcano more than 5,000 miles away. Big parts of Coos County, Curry County and Del Norte County are in the tsunami danger Please see TSUNAMI, Page A2
Despite differing opinions about balancing free enterprise while protecting the health of Crescent City minors, the city moved a step closer to requiring gas stations, vape shops and other tobacco retailers to get a tobacco retail license. In a 3-2 vote, the Crescent City Council directed city staff to return with a draft TRL - a document that’s likely to result in more debate about how restrictive the city should be. “I’m not saying that there’s no role for the city in this, but it is about balancing,” said Mayor Jason Greenough, who along with Councilor Beau Smith opposed pursuing the ordinance. The discussion at a recent Monday meeting was not the first time councilor’s discussed a TRL. In April of last year, Amber Wier, project director for NorCal 4 Health - a California Collaborative project focused on reducing tobacco influences - advocated for Crescent City to consider regulating tobacco advertisements, where nicotine-based paraphernalia is displayed in stores, and banning the sweeter-flavored vape products altogether. An ad hoc committee composed of advocacy groups, business owners, Crescent City Police Chief Richard Griffin, as well as Greenough and Smith, met several times last year to discuss the city’s tobacco policies. Citing a student-led survey at Castle Rock Charter School and Sunset High School, Wier said 58 percent of those schools’ students said they had vaped within the last 30 days, and that vaping use among 11th graders in all of Del Norte County increased from 16 percent to 22 percent over the last six years. “What is really scary to me is that we are not just talking about a few kids, we’re talking about a lot of kids and they come from all different socioeconomic backgrounds,” Wier said. Student’s from Del Norte High School’s Standing Together Overcoming addiction with Radical Movement, or STORM for short, joined Wier in the presentation and took turns speaking before the council. “We are here to tell you what our experiences are, what we’re seeing and why we think it is so important for you to Please see TOBACCO, Page A8

zone and have had major impacts from previous tsunamis. Crescent City knows firsthand the dangers of tsunamis after a massive earthquake in Alaska sent waves that crashed into Crescent City in 1964. A 21-foot wave slammed into downtown Crescent City, killing 11 people and devastating 29 blocks downtown. Years later, Crescent City had links to another massive tsunami when debris from a tsunami in Alaska washed ashore in the city.

Gregory Armond Neish, 68, of Sweet Home, OR, passed away unexpectedly of cardiac arrest on December 8, 2021. Greg was born August 27, 1953, in Crescent City, CA. He attended Redwood Elementary School and Del Norte High School. He was known as SunnyDay to those who listened to his radio broadcast on KPLY. He served in the Del Norte Chapter Order of DeMolay, rising in ranks to Master Councilor. In 1972, Greg enlisted
in the United States Navy, serving on the USS San Jose, stationed in the Philippines. Later in life, he served as a Del Norte County sheriff and a computer tech for various companies. Greg was also active in the Boy Scouts of America, both as a parent and an Assistant Scoutmaster prior to 2006. All of this paled in comparison to his true passion for fishing. There wasn’t a lake that Greg did not know about if it had fish. He had recently moved to Sweet Home, OR to be closer to Foster and Green Peter Lake, a convenient and frequent spot for him to drop a line (or several). When not found at a lake, Greg could often be found picking up treasures at a local garage sale or spending time with his children and grandchildren. Greg will be remembered for many reasons; the biggest being his willingness to help those who needed it without consideration for

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
Omicron surge to continue into February By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is causing record numbers of cases, but there is an end to the surge in sight. That’s the message Dr. Timothy Brewer, an infectious disease expert from the UCLA School of Medicine, shared last week while participating in a Lunch with the Doc meeting with State Sen. Mike McGuire. McGuire hosted the event to give his constituents, which includes those in Del Norte County, an accurate picture of what is happening in California and around the nation. “After nearly two years of being in the pandemic, folks are sick of it,” McGuire said. “I get it, and it’s incredibly frustrating to be here today. But we need to hang tough because we are in the middle of the latest surge. Hospitals across the state are starting to fill up, and we need to buckle down for the next few weeks.” Brewer said Omicron has led to record cases in California, with one in 66 California residents confirmed as having COVID. In some counties, that number is up to one in eight people. “The bottom line is this,” Brewer said. “We’re seeing COVID-positive case numbers absolutely skyrocket in every corner of the country. Obviously there has been a tremendous toll on not only the country but the state as well.” But the good news is the rapid increase in cases will likely end in middle to late February with cases then dropping equally as fast. Brewer said while much has been made about COVID breakthrough cases increasing during Omicron, the vaccine is working. He said when fully vaccinated, the risk of infection is four times lower, the risk of hospitalization is eight time lower and the risk of death is 21 times lower than the unvaccinated. “As long as the SARSCOV-2 virus can transmit person to person, new variants will emerge, and that’s what happened with Omicron,” Brewer said. “Omicron spreads more easily than Delta and it’s capable of infecting people Delta couldn’t.” And the level of contagiousness is seen in the numbers. Last winter, the
state was in the middle of a surge and was reporting 45,000 to 50,000 new cases a day. It is now up to 85,000 cases a day. Brewer was asked a question about masking and whether it works with Omicron. The short answer is yes, although some masks work better than others. “Masks have two components to them,” Brewer said. “One is the material the mask is made out of. The second is how does it fit on your face. Those two will determine how well it works. The best mask is an N-95 respirator.” Brewer said he would rank masks with the N-95 or K-95 at the top, a surgical mask second and cloth masks at the bottom. He recommended people who use cloth masks to add a surgical mask over them for greater effectiveness. Brewer was also asked if he felt comfortable going out to eat in today’s climate. “I only go out when I feel well,” he responded. “If I do go out, I will make sure I have a well-fitting mask. I will try to stay at least three to six feet away from others in the restaurant.” He did say eating outdoors is safer than eating indoors due to better ventilation. Brewer said while Omicron is surging, there is always concern of future variants. And due to the kind of virus it is, it will likely not go away. “The bad news is the virus is very well adapted to change,” Brewer said. “We can see this in our own communities. This virus is really capable and spreading from person to person. That makes it really difficult to get rid of. As long as the virus is spreading and mutating, that makes it very difficult to get rid of. New variants that are going to emerge are ones that are capable of out competing the variants out there. That’s why we’re dealing with Omicron now.” He said with COVID’s ability to adapt and mutate, it is not going anywhere anytime soon. “It’s entirely possible that it’s going to be like influenza where we get a shot every year,” Brewer said. “It’s hard to imagine the virus is going away. So we’re probably going to be wearing masks and getting boosters for at least the foreseeable future.”

Guess who has outsized clout on public lands? By Jonathan Thompson This may be a surprising story. It begins with a working group trying to save the last native bighorn sheep of Idaho’s and Wyoming’s Teton Range. Last fall it reached agreement after years of effort. The coalition recommended closing just over 20,000 acres of high-country public land during the winter. The proposal was a compromise, balancing the survival needs of the bighorn with the “stoke” desires of backcountry skiers. The sheep would get about half of the high-qual-
ity winter Teton range; skiers would lose access only to about 5% of what they had identified as prime skiing terrain. It seemed as if the skiers came out on top in the deal, and a majority of the backcountry skiing community accepted the compromise without complaint. That is, until a handful of vocal skiers lashed back, launching a campaign to convince federal land managers to preserve all access, bighorns be damned. The unwillingness to give up even a sliver of terrain to help a nearly extinct herd of wild animals reeks of the access-greed
that puts the “wreck” in wreckreation. It’s also a prime example of what you might call the public land paradox: The growing belief that because all Americans are part-owners of the public lands, we all are entitled to do as we please on those lands, regardless of impacts. Bighorn sheep were once abundant across the Mountain West, migrating for miles to follow the forage. Habitat destruction, fragmentation of migratory paths, disease, climate change, competition from non-native and domesticated ungulates, and, well, humans in general, have
Oh, Utah! When will you learn? By Mike Kaplan
A new video released by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox argues the big, semi-annual trade show called Outdoor Retailer should come back to Salt Lake City. This is despite opposition from leading brands, resorts like mine in Aspen and many nonprofit groups over the state’s environmental policies. Oh, Utah! Will you ever learn? You can’t have the things you love like clean air, wild lands and a stable climate and destroy them at the same time. You can’t roll back historic land conservation practices and hope your state will seem welcoming to hikers, climbers, fishers and skiers. The 2017 move to Colorado occurred for two reasons: First, the outdoor companies selling their tents, sleeping bags, hiking boots and backpacks didn’t want to do business in a state that was willfully and actively opposing protection of the very landscapes in which customers use those products. Yet elected officials were attempting to dismantle the Grand Staircase Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments. Second, outdoor industry leaders didn’t want to celebrate commerce in a state whose lawmakers were mostly opposed to acting on the very thing threatening that commerce — climate change. A few years ago, the Guardian reports, the Utah legislature passed a resolution urging the EPA to “cease its carbon dioxide reduction policies, programs, and regulations until climate data and global warming science are substantiated.” You can’t politically ignore, or slowwalk, action on climate change that is flooding, baking and burning cities and streams, mountains and fields, and expect businesses dependent on outdoor recreation to flock to your state. You have to care. And to act. Emerald Expositions, which owns and produces the event, has to realize that outdoor brands are not environment-agnostic anymore. The show that produces $56 million in revenue is about business, but business more than ever requires protecting the environment. Don’t get me wrong. I love Utah. I have fond memories of skiing in the Wasatch and I love the people, the landscapes, the rivers and the spirit. But Utah politics leaves me flat. Here in Colorado, we’re pioneering new laws to cut methane pollution and drive EV adoption; to rein-in Hydrofluorocarbons and clean up our utility grid. We’ve got robust public lands protections and ag-
shrunk their range and winnowed their numbers. The Teton Range’s bighorn sheep, hemmed in by humanity, stopped long-distance migration eight decades ago. The last remaining herd, numbering just 100 to 125 animals, is on the edge of dying out. That’s why, in the 1990s, state and federal wildlife agencies, biologists, and advocates formed a working group to figure out how to save the herd. In the decades since, a growing number of recreational users have penetrated farther and farther into the backcountry – and into the bighorn’s winter range. “Quiet,” non-motorized forms of recreation were once considered benign, but a growing body of research suggests that even hiking and skiing can have a deleterious effect on wildlife. In 2014, a University of Wyoming researcher found that bighorn sheep avoided backcountry recreation areas, resulting in a major loss of their habitat. Findings like that might warrant closure of all of the Teton bighorn’s remaining winter range. In the spirit of collaboration, the working group instead suggested the skier-friendly compromise. But even that, a Driggs,
Idaho, skier said in a public meeting, was a “tough one to swallow.” A social media commenter added: “Smells like old people and communism to me.” This sense of entitlement is widespread. In my hometown of Durango, the Bureau of Land Management shuts down a few areas for the winter to give wildlife a seasonal respite from humanity. And each year a few handfuls of hikers, runners and mountain bikers violate the closures, even though hundreds of miles of nearby trails remain open. The mere suggestion of a trail closure to protect peregrine falcon nesting areas draws gearhead jeers, and the International Mountain Biking Association pledges to “actively oppose new wilderness and other designations that would negatively impact revered mountain biking opportunities.” In 1995, the National Park Service banned rock climbing — voluntarily for individuals and mandatory for commercial guides — on Devils Tower, held sacred by Indigenous peoples, during the month of June to keep it free of humans during solstice-related ceremonies. The outfitters not only
balked, they also hired the Mountain States Legal Foundation — the litigating branch of the Sagebrush Rebellion and Wise Use movement — to sue the federal government. The Park Service backed down on the outright ban and asked people to refrain from climbing in June. Yet each year hundreds of people climb it. In many ways, the access frenzy is a modern-day echo of 19th century colonialism, when white settlers seized Indigenous lands and ran roughshod over the public domain because, well, it was public. What they didn’t understand then, and many modern-day recreation-colonists don’t understand now, is that access to these lands is a privilege, not a right. Yes, we do all own a little share of the public lands. But ownership comes with a responsibility of stewardship, not outright entitlement. Bighorn sheep have a right to live in the West, too.

Mike Kaplan gressive environmental leadership from the governor, both senators and both houses of the legislature. Electric vehicles hit almost 13 percent of market share in December, a few years after Colorado became the only state in the central U.S. to adopt California’s Zero Emissions Vehicles standard. We’re not perfect, but we’re the kind of place where businesses and government together recognize that they need to protect the landscape, and the climate, on which their economic success is based. Some things change, others don’t. President Trump gutted the Grand Staircase Escalante and Bear Ears monuments, with Utah’s support. President Biden reinstated them. Utah lawmakers moved off the dime on climate, commissioning a study called the “Utah Roadmap,” with a goal of reducing CO2 emissions by half over the next decade. Whether action will follow that analysis remains to be seen. As for the two monuments, state officials have engaged lawyers to sue the federal government over their restoration. Tribes, tired of their lands being used as a political football, are preparing to counter-sue. Until Utah begins to understand these things that matter, the Outdoor Retailer show needs to stay somewhere that does.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren MAN’S HISTORY OF SEXUAL ABUSE HIDDEN FOR YEARS DEAR ABBY: During my teenage years, I was repeatedly raped by my brother. The emotional and physical damage has left my life broken. He is now in a long-term relationship. Should I tell his girlfriend about the abuse? When I confronted him about it years ago, he denied it. If you were his girlfriend, wouldn’t YOU want to know? -- HOLDING A SECRET DEAR HOLDING: Yes, I would want to know. I’ll bet your parents would have also wanted to know. As would your teachers or school counselors, so your brother could have been reported as a sexual predator and stopped. By all means tell the girlfriend, particularly if she has a daughter. P.S. Because what your brother did has left lasting scars, please seek counseling with a licensed therapist with expertise in treating victims of sexual abuse. Contact RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) for more guidance. You will find it on the internet at rainn.org. DEAR ABBY: I have just been diagnosed with cancer. I doubt that I will live another 10 years. My wife is arguing with me because I want to draw down my 401(k) over the next 10 years so I can enjoy the savings I have accrued during my long career. We are talking about a LOT of money, Abby -- expensive cars, expensive second homes, extravagant vacations. How can I convince her that I deserve this after having worked for 40 years, and that we should enjoy these savings for the period of time left for me on Earth? -- WANTS TO ENJOY LIFE NOW DEAR WANTS: I’m sure your diagnosis has been frightening for both you and your wife. She may be worried that if you plow
through all the money, there will be nothing left for her after you are gone. Although you are dubious about it, there is also the possibility that you may live 10 more years and beyond. That’s why this is an important subject you and your wife should discuss with a financial adviser. DEAR ABBY: I work in an office where people occasionally bring in treats to share with co-workers. Usually, we place the goodies in a common area and let others know there’s food available and they’re welcome to it. The problem I’m having is that one particular co-worker brings in treats and shares them only with her favorite office buddies. She’s not discreet about it either. She struts around the office and makes a big scene delivering her homemade treats to her friends, right in front of the people she has chosen not to include. Should she be confronted and told she’s being rude and inconsiderate, or should her behavior just be ignored? -MISSING OUT DEAR MISSING OUT: What your co-worker is doing is rude. This is a lesson in politeness and consideration for others that children in grammar school usually learn. (Perhaps she was playing hooky that day.) That said, if there’s no rule in your office against it, I do not advise confronting her. Turnabout is fair play, and perhaps you should discuss a “delicious” solution with the rest of the unfavored few. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Second Map Consideration Hearing for the Establishment of Trustee Areas for the Governing Board of the Del Norte County Unified School District and County Board of Education The Del Norte County Unified School District (“District”) Board of Education (“District Board”) is currently elected using a “hybrid at-large” election system, meaning that governing board members must live in defined trustee areas, but are elected by voters of the entire District. On August 12, 2021, the District Board adopted Resolution # D21-22-4, declaring its intent to transition to by-trustee area elections, where each Board member must reside within a designated trustee area boundary, and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area. District Board members also sit as the Del Norte County Board of Education (“County Board”), meaning any change to the method of election to the District Board will result in a corresponding change to the method of election for the County Board. As a result, on August 12, 2021, the County Board similarly adopted Resolution # C21- 22-2, declaring its intent to transition to by-trustee area elections. On September 9 and September 23, 2021, the District and County Boards held two joint public hearings to receive input from the community on the trustee- area map creation process, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(1). On January 13, 2022, the District and County Boards held the first of two statutorily required public hearings to receive community input on the draft trustee area boundary maps, which are available to view on the District’s website, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(2). Notice is hereby given that the District Board and County Board will conduct another joint Public Hearing to receive com-
pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a) (2). The second of these two public hearings will occur as follows:
Date: Thursday, January 27, 2022 Time: 4:00 pm Location: Del Norte County Unified School District Education Center Building Boardroom 301 W. Washington Blvd. Crescent City, CA 95531 In the interest of public health, this meeting will take place both online and in person. We will post a link to the meeting on our website in advance of the meeting: https://www.dnusd. org/Page/- 1.

support a tobacco retail license - especially one that would ban flavors and limit where kids see tobacco products,” said Abby Duran, a Del Norte High School senior. “Every time I try to use the restrooms during the passing period at the high school, most or all of the stalls have been taken up by kids vaping,” added another student. The latter observation drew a more critical view from Councilor Smith. “I know they can’t be everywhere at once, but if it smells so bad that the kids can’t use the
bathroom, why isn’t there a staff member on that?” Smith asked, adding that stricter penalties implemented by school staff and the city’s school resource officer may be warranted. Smith’s inquiry led to a broader discussion about limited staffing at schools, the ease of which students can hide small vape pens, and the efficacy of punishing students. “That can actually cause more harm to youth and doesn’t fix the reason they are doing it,” responded Wier. According to Chief Griffin, the school resource officer is there to support, but tends to defer to school administrators knowledge of students and whether tobacco use is a one time or habitual event. “Our rule is not to do enforce-
ment at school,” Griffin told Smith, adding that possession of a vape pen is considered an infraction. However, a second school resource officer that will focus almost exclusively on tobacco use at schools is in the recruitment phase, thanks to a grant from the Department of Justice that will fund the position for three years, including enforcement at places like skate parks and the beach during spring break and summer months. High Tides Vapes owner Dave Gearhart said he strongly opposes minors having access to and using tobacco products, but said the state already regulates and implements enforcement measures against retailers that sell to people under 21 years old.
“A retail license is just putting double the charge on a retail establishment,” Gearhart said. Greenough and Smith concurred, adding that a combination of family and school oversight, as well as current restrictions in the marketplace should suffice. Assertions that drew ire from Councilor Blake Inscore. “We have a greater responsibility in protecting the health of our citizens than big tobacco has the right to try to make money in our community,” said Inscore. “You’re defending the right for big business to make money at the expense of our citizens’ health.” “I’m not here to protect big business,” Greenough responded. “What I am here to do is to encourage good decision making

where the decision starts. It starts with the individual. After more discussion between the councilors, the gap between their opinions appeared to narrow, with each councilor agreeing that the health and safety of minors was a shared goal, but how to pursue that was less clear. “My proposal would be to, at a future meeting, bring back a model tobacco license policy, then basically run through it with the full council,” said Public Works Director Jon Olson. An amended motion to consider an TRL policy that would be itemized according to what the council agrees to through a majority vote passed with Councilors Inscore, Mayor Pro Tem Isaiah Wright and Ray Altman in favor.

Vielbig to exhibit at Graves Museum of Art Bernadette Vielbig was born and raised on a small self-sufficient farm in northern California. As a first generation American born of naturalized citizen parents, her informative years left an impression of usefulness in all things deep in her psyche. Vielbig studied fine art and design throughout her youth and earned a BA in Studio Art from Humboldt State University and went on to earn a masters of fine art with studio concentrations in sculpture and design from Louisiana State University. While attending LSU she taught three-dimensional design and drawing classes before earning her letters. During her career as an academic, she was a faculty specialist in new facilities, labs, building design and accomplished such tasks at the University of South Carolina Columbia, Central Michigan University where she was also awarded the Stephen F Barstow Artist in Residence before moving onto a tenure track role as
the sole faculty in the sculpture area curriculum at Spokane Falls Community College in eastern Washington. Vielbig left her post and tenure in eastern WA to come back home to northern California. In spring 2017, she landed on the edge in Eureka where she plans to stay. Her work has been featured nationally at gallery and museum venues including the Kohler Design Center, Chrysler Museum of Art, NOLA Contemporary Art Center, and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. She is represented in both public and private collections across the country as well. Vielbig has received numerous grants and awards for her work and has held positions with several artist-in-residence programs nationally. Her media choices and skill set in fine art are vast, one could almost say limitless; she works with what she has, where she is. An accomplished fabricator, caster and builder she often starts with the found object

as a launching point. Her studio practice is prolific as she continues to explore new ways of communicating visually. In essence, Vielbig is a force of nature. The works in this exhibition span several decades of her studio practice, as well as recently produced pieces specifically for the Morris Graves Museum of Art. Utilizing all her tools in this selected grouping media choices include – but are not limited to-, cast lead, burn scar drawings, markers, slip cast ceramic, beeswax, found objects, custom hardware and brackets made from steel, copper and rusted nails. Her attraction to the found object starts with its’ original intent or function, she acknowledges the history of the object as well as its formal elements; shape, use, physical make up and ties these concepts to her content as she spins the work into a purely aesthetic function.

culture which she was abhorred by in the 1970’s and watched that culture grow exponentially. Her content often finds its’ starting point there and weaves in and out of tangents about convenience, need vs want, food supply and production, and basic simplicity in what we prioritize to have a good life. Within all of that, her works takes the viewer on a ride through history and hysteria, knowing and learning, nostalgia and unknown futures. Bernadette does this with a sense of humor because she is aware that to acknowledge the problems one must also acknowledge their involvement in them. Planned obsolescence may drive the marketplace but it also creates waste surplus in unmanageable magnitudes. By using would be garbage, Vielbig is commenting on our need to stop generating so much of it. She longs for the day such materials are not readily available to her.

Search and rescue members recover body of missing man On December 8, 2021, Johnny Feuerborn reported to the Bookings Police Department that his dad, 46-year-old Shane Feuerborn, was missing and had not been seen since the day before. Brookings Police Department started an investigation and entered Shane Feuerborn into the national database as a missing person. Shane Feuerborn’s vehicle was also missing, and information was passed onto all law enforcement and public to be on the look out for Feuerborn and his vehicle. On December 12, at about 1:44 p.m., the Curry County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from a person who had been hiking the Windy Valley Trail near the Snow Camp Look out and found a black Mustang car parked at the trailhead that she believed belonged to Shane Feuerborn. One of the car windows was down and it was soaked inside. The caller reported that there was snow on the vehicle and on the ground with no footprints anywhere around it. Members of the Curry County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team responded to the area where the vehicle was located and did a hasty search around the vehicle and down the Windy Valley Trail. The SAR team were not able to locate any sign of Feuerborn due to the darkness and heavy snow fall. On December 13, The SAR
team returned to the area with the Sno-Cat and continued the search in the daylight. The weather turned worse with the snowstorm and the teams were not able to find Feuerborn or any sign of where he could be. The heavy snow in the area had covered up everything on the ground. SAR teams had split up to cover more ground including all around the Snow Camp Lookout, but by the end of the day the search was called off until better weather and snow melt. Up until mid-January 2022, a forest deputy and SAR coordinator went to the area several times where Feuerborn’s vehicle was found to assess the conditions that would be favorable to continue a ground search. On January 15, 2022, the SAR team returned to the area where there was still some snow but were able to search areas that were not covered by snow. That afternoon, the SAR team located the body of Shane Feuerborn near the Snow Camp Look Out. It was apparent that Feuerborn had taken his own life for unknown reasons. The SAR team and deputies transported Feuerborn back to the beginning of the trail head and down to meet Redwood Memorial. The Curry County District Attorney authorized the release of Feuerborn, and the next of kin have been notified.
Reaching the Summit with Cumbre Humboldt Cumbre Humboldt works to support Latinx community in Humboldt academically and culturally Angelina Ramirez Peirano, El Leñador, and Community Voices Coalition by
Cumbre Humboldt is a non-profit organization that strives to support the Latinx community in Humboldt County. By providing educationally enriching opportunities such as tutoring, scholarships, and field trips, they help level the playing field for Latinx students and their families alike. Lucy Salazar, president of Cumbre, founded the organization in 2019 while volunteering at Pacific Union Elementary School. Being bilingual, Salazar knew she would be a valuable asset to the classroom setting for Latinx families. Quickly thereafter she recognized a lack of confidence from the Latinx students in the classroom. “I just started seeing this pattern again of the kids are smart, they’re very intelligent but they’re not putting their hands up, they’re not answering questions, they’re not asking questions,” Salazar said. “I just recognize that I personally could not let them fall through the cracks.” Before becoming the president and founder of Cumbre Humboldt, Salazar was a part of the US Forest Service. It wasn’t until her volunteer work during her retirement when she found a new passion. With Salazar’s self driven motivation and the advice of Anthony Mancuso’s book How to
Form a Nonprofit Corporation in California, she was able to create the Federal 501(c)(3) non-profit organization we know as Cumbre Humboldt. The support shown to Latinx students goes beyond just offering educational enrichment opportunities. Creating equity in academic spaces helps them see their own potential as well. One of the first recipients of the Cumbre Scholarship was Johanna Hererra Cortes, a Fortuna High School graduate. She is currently pursuing her education at University of California Berkeley. “The people within the organization were very helpful even after I received the scholarship,” Hererra Cortes said. “Cumbre saw that I had potential. They saw that I was more than capable to be here, so if they can see it then I’m going to see it within myself.” Herrera Cortes also mentioned how Cumbre worked to help her younger siblings and offered them tutoring and additional educational resources to help them keep up with classes. Breaking down language barriers and stereotypes is another way Cumbre Humboldt leaves their mark on the community. Samuel Penate, Humboldt State University sociology student and Cumbre intern, has been working on outreach to different schools all around Humboldt County. His presentations primarily focus on
Job Description: Comptroller
resources ESL students and their parents can utilize for a more meaningful education experience. “We are trying to persuade people to use techniques on how to approach parents, and how parents can change the way that ESL students can get resources,” Penate said. “I am creating a way for schools to connect with parents.” Penate’s work with Cumbre has helped Latinx students overcome the stigmas of going to school while learning a second language. Through his own experience of learning English after coming to the United States from El Salvador seven years ago, he hopes to uplift ESL students in academic spaces. “I want to empower a lot of people to break the stereotypes,” Penate said. “No one is less than anybody because we are all the same, we all can do this.” Cumbre’s empowerment of the Latinx community’s youth in Humboldt County also takes on the form of cultural representation. Cumbre Humboldt has paired with Carana Sedano, HSU child development and criminology student, to create Ballet Folklórico Infantil de Arcata. Sedano is the instructor of the dance group and has been dancing herself since elementary school. “They seem to really like it. Parents really want their kids to keep doing it because it’s part of their culture,” Sedano said.

Having cultural representation is important, especially for Latinx children in a White dominant community. It creates a sense of belonging and cultural pride that every Latinx child should have instilled in them. Sedano shares that while practicing at a park, youth have even recognized their traditional dances. “In that park there was one instance, specifically, where there was a girl who knew what we were doing,” Sedano said. “She saw and she was like ‘oh mom look el zapateado,’ ” referring to the traditional dance. .You can learn more about Cumbre Humboldt on their website www. cumbrehumboldt.org, for resources and opportunities for Latinx children and adults of all ages.

Newsom highlights California blueprint investments in state’s infrastructure and clean transportation future Governor Gavin Newsom recently lifted up his California Blueprint’s major investments in transportation and infrastructure while visiting the Santa Clara Depot rail station, highlighting the plan’s $9.1 billion in funding for climate-friendly clean transit projects that will create thousands of jobs. The Blueprint also includes $2.3 billion to support ports and goods movement throughout the state and an additional $6.1 billion to accelerate the state’s transition to zero-emission vehicles – creating a total package of $10 billion that will invest in affordable cars, clean trucks and buses. The Santa Clara Depot serves several transit agencies, including Caltrain, which is scheduled to complete electrification of its system in 2024. “These bold investments will deliver safer, faster and greener transportation options connecting communities across the state while creating thousands of jobs and tackling our largest source of harmful pollution and emissions,” said Newsom. “With California on the frontlines of the intensifying climate crisis, the state is committed to building a clean transportation future that protects the health of our communities, environment and economy.” Transportation is the state’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for more than 50% of emissions when considering the production and deployment of fuels. California’s commitment to decarbonizing the transportation sector also advances the state’s affordability goals, increasing access to opportunity and amenities through a network of affordable, clean transportation options and pushing zero-emission vehicle innovation to continue driving down costs for everyone. The California Blueprint includes a proposed $9.1 billion package to advance clean transit initiatives that support the state’s climate and public health goals, promote equity and bolster the green economy, including $4.9 billion for transit and rail projects to improve connectivity, climate adaptation, bicycle
and pedestrian safety and more locally driven initiatives. In addition, the Blueprint proposes a $4.2 billion investment in California’s High-Speed Rail project, which will eventually share the electrified Caltrain corridor, as well as funding for projects that encourage active modes of transportation and improve equity and safety, including converting underutilized highways into corridors that better serve residents. The Blueprint positions California to take advantage of additional federal infrastructure investments. The California Blueprint also furthers the administration’s ongoing work to support ports and build supply chain resilience, outlining a $2.3 billion package that includes $1.2 billion for port-related infrastructure projects that increase goods movement capacity and additional funding for zero-emission port equipment, drayage trucks and infrastructure. The Governor in October issued an executive order directing state agencies to help identify additional ways to alleviate congestion at California ports and announced a state-federal partnership to help kick-start infrastructure projects designed to improve goods movement. In addition, the Governor has launched a multi-agency Supply Chain Task Force working to find opportunities to lease state and privately-owned land for container storage space, Caltrans has issued temporary truck weight exemptions on State Highways to keep goods moving efficiently and the Department of Motor Vehicles has worked to nearly double its capacity to conduct commercial driving tests. The Blueprint also builds on the California Comeback Plan’s $3.9 billion zero-emission vehicle package with an additional $6.1 billion in proposed investment to accelerate the transition. The additional funding will add thousands of affordable clean cars, zero-emission trucks and transit buses, support school transportation programs and electrify our school bus fleet, expand equitable access to ZEV charging infrastructure and fund equity-focused clean transportation community projects.
Huffman, Graves introduce Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act

Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) recently introduced the bipartisan Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act to rescue rural hospitals on the brink of bankruptcy and help put these critical care providers back on solid ground. “For years, rural hospitals have faced seemingly insurmountable odds: a raging pandemic, provider consolidation, and ever-increasing costs have piled challenge after challenge at their doors. And now, they’re facing added pressures brought on by the Omicron variant—leaving many hanging on by a thread,” said Huffman. “Rural hospitals and health centers, like the many in my district that have stepped up to care for our community, need legislative action and they need it now. My bill with Rep. Graves takes the steps necessary to help keep rural hospitals afloat and protect access to high-quality care, regardless of where folks live. By offering greater Medicare reimbursement, we can provide a much-needed lifeline to facilities on the edge of collapse—and save lives in the process.” “This isn’t a new problem. Our rural hospitals have been struggling to keep their doors open to patients for years,” said Graves. “But, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly made this cri-
sis worse, as many critical access hospitals are facing severe workforce shortages and skyrocketing expenses while reimbursement rates fall behind. This legislation reverses disastrous Medicare cuts that have hamstrung our rural hospitals for years and will help many of them get back on track. There’s no better time to get this done.” The Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act comes at a time when rural hospitals and health centers are facing unprecedented challenges. Since 2005, more than 170 rural hospitals across the country have closed their doors—forcing patients to travel further to get the care they need and leaving others to put off necessary healthcare. This problem has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and today 453 rural hospitals are currently operating at levels similar to those that have shut down over the last decade. The Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act will reverse this dangerous trend by: • Eliminating Medicare sequestration for rural hospitals • Making Medicare telehealth service enhancements permanent for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) • Extending increased Medicare payments for rural ground ambulance services currently set to expire December 31, 2022
The bill was applauded by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health and the National Rural Health Association. “The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health applauds Rep. Graves and Rep. Huffman for introducing this comprehensive rural health bill. This comes at a critical time for rural communities and rural health providers as our nation continues to deal with the Public Health Emergency. We call on House members from both sides of the aisle to support and advance this important piece of legislation in 2022.” - Teryl Eisinger, executive director of National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health. “The National Rural Health Association applauds Representatives Graves and Huffman for introducing the Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act. Since 2010, 137 rural hospitals have closed their doors, leaving the majority of those communities without access to a health care provider. The provisions in this important legislation will ensure that the morethan-60 million Americans who reside in rural America will maintain access to the care they need. NRHA believes passing the Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act will improve and expand access to health care in rural America.” - Alan Morgan, chief executive officer of the National Rural Health Association.
