History to be sold during Don Nuss auction Nuss speed shop, racing cars, motorcycles and tools to be sold By DANIEL J. SCHMIDT Editor

Redwood Welding Services was one of those places that was so much more than its name implied. Welding they did. Its owner, the late Don Nuss, was regarded as one of the best welders in the area. From iron, steel and aluminum to some of the more exotic stuff, Nuss had to do it right, because the work he did would be holding together the cars and motorcycles he designed and built to set world land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Redwood Welding Services also offered a complete metal fabrication and machine shop services. He and his crew could fold, bend, roll, crimp, cut and drill holes in sheet metal, and turn, bore, mill, bend, grind, polish, thread and otherwise completely transform a chunk of metal into a unique automotive component that he invented for his racers. Please see NUSS, Page A2

Don Nuss set land speed records with the vehicles he made in his shop in Crescent City. After his death last year, the items in that shop, including vehicles like this one, will go up for auction next month.

Letting loose with big dreams for Crescent City This vocalist knows how to sell you a car and take you for a musical journey By DANIEL J. SCHMIDT Editor

He is known by day as Michael Goppert, sales consultant at Pacific Auto Sales in Crescent City where he guides his customers to the car they want for the reasons they want it. At night, it is a different tune. As a vocalist and songwriter, Goppert takes his audience to a place they otherwise might not dare to go. Wicked Intent is the name of his band. The intent? “To bring the vibe, feeling and freedom to those ground down by what’s been going on all around us,” Gobbert said. Known as Michael G on stage, he gyrates and twists while straining and grasping at the microphone like a desperate man dangling from a helicopter. And, when a song takes a pause, he emits animalistic shrieks as if he was in the final stage of purging some demon from deep inside. Yet, Michael G is always in control. Elvis would do no better had he lived to see this day. Wicked Intent bandmates provide a pleasing and familiar sound, as comforting as a backup generator during a power outage. And each member provides his own frequent flourishes of solo musicality that reminds audiences that they are listening to classic Rock n’ Roll. The songs are a mixture of familiar old tunes, plus others from Michael G’s own hand

and heart. And when performed on stage, they speak directly to each person. To the men in the crowd, his unspoken message was, “Hey, buddy, it’s okay to let loose every once in a while.” And to the women: “See babe, even decades of decadence can’t stop you ‘cause you got the right stuff.” He would know. Mike G came of age in the grimy rat-infested bars where “you could feel and smell the edge” to the music. “Rock ‘n Roll of the 60s, 70s and 80s was the greatest music ever created,” he said. “I sat at the feet of those artists.” You write a song if you see something. “Find the depth, the height. If it is serious, make it serious. If it is light, make it light.” For a town that where “the sidewalks roll up at 7 p.m., Mike G has high hopes for the future of Crescent City. “With just a little thought, this place could be like Santa Cruz.” South Beach, he said, could have a boardwalk lined with shops and boutiques. “Doctors’ wives would be begging their husbands to stay here because they finally have somewhere to shop.” There could be surf contests, shows and concerts, a “real California gotta go to” place.” he added. “Why are kids so messed up with meth and other stupid drugs?” he asks. “Because there’s

Michael G grew up in the grimy-infested rat bars in California and he still finds joy performing in Crescent City. A member of Wicked Intent, he believes Crescent City could become a destination for music lovers.

Youth hoops team upsets the odds at Eureka tourney By RAY HAMILL For the Triplicate

The future of girls basketball in Del Norte County appears to be in good hands. Earlier this month, four youth teams from the county traveled to Eureka to compete at The Athlete Factory end of

season tournament in Eureka, including a group of 7-9 year olds who upset the odds to win their championship. And they did it with some clutch defense, winning three straight games, all in one day. “We were pretty much underdogs in the tournament,” head coach Andrew Salas said.

“We had to play three games in one day to go all the way and it was tough. The girls were tired and beat and they just pushed through.” According to Salas, the Del Norte teams made the decision to compete this season in Eureka after the local youth recreation league was canceled this year,

and there were enough girls to field four different teams — two at the 7-9 age group and two in the 10-12 age group — all of which made the trip south several times over the past two months just to compete. In addition to the 7-9 White Team’s championship victory, the Del Norte 7-9 Yellow Team

placed third in their tournament and one of the two 10-12 teams made it to their tournament championship. And that points to a bright future for girls basketball in the county. “I do think so,” Salas said. “These girls are up and coming, Please see HOOPS, Page A2

And if Nuss didn’t have or couldn’t find the right tool to make the part, he simply made the tool he needed, from scratch. Nuss passed away last year. His shop and all its contents are now up for grabs. His shop building,

located at 1020 U.S. Highway 101 North, next door to the Texaco station, and other real estate are listed with Finnegan Realty in Crescent City. All the tools, machinery, metal inventory and supplies will be auctioned off next month. But, if you’re interested, you better have your wallet ready, as this stuff will move fast.

nothing to do, no place to party.” Mike G would like to see more places that play live music. “Disc jockeys are paid more money (to spin records) than live musicians. I don’t want to pay to hear what I can hear at home.” And Michael G promises to “deliver what the people have come and paid for. It hasta be good.” As for selling a car on the showroom floor, “It’s no different onstage,” he said. “The audience has specific wants. Same thing on a car.” “You read the body

and they’re something to be watching for.” The 7-9 White team won their championship in large part thanks to some clutch defense, with the team overcoming a halftime deficit to win the championship game 25-14 and allowing just four second-half points. “Our defense is what won it for us,” the coach said. “We shut them down defensively in the second half.” And the girls were naturally delighted with the outcome. “They were stoked,” Salas said. “This was their first championship. Most of them are third graders.” As for what impressed the coach most about his team’s performance? “Their heart,” he said without hesitation. “Their heart at the end was amazing.” The pandemic obviously limited the opportunities

for teams to compete over the past couple of years, but this group of young girls has had the opportunity to practice together and they have developed a good team chemistry in that time. “They’ve been playing together for a little bit and they really are a tight-knit group,” the coach said. “They’re really good friends and love playing basketball together.” They also have worked hard on their way to a championship, overcoming the odds and the tag of underdogs. “They all exceeded expectations for sure,” Salas said. “And they all worked hard for it.” Salas expects the Del Norte youth recreation league to return next year, but says he’d be happy to compete again in Eureka as well, if that’s what his girls want to do. The championship team included Quinn Salas, Qira Salas, Brynn McMillan, Kalea Williams, Hayden O’Brien, Allie Smith, Kia Lopez and Triston Smith.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Guest columns

From the editor ...

Taking the blessings View from the left All people need homes of Del Norte County for granted All too often we take for granted the many wonderful blessings that have been given to us to enjoy. Some of these earthly blessings are sturdy enough to survive a century of neglect and exploitation, yet remain with us in smaller numbers to this day. Our beautiful redwoods come to mind. Others are more fragile, and require the direct intervention of mankind to rescue from the brink of extinction. The California Condor is a remarkable example of this achievement. Still others, entirely the creation of man, when lost, will be gone forever. Redwood Welding Services, owned and operated by the late Don Nuss is a local institution that is leaving us. Now, it would be easy to dismiss a comparison of Don Nuss and his custom automotive race shop in Crescent City with the majestic redwoods and Godlike condors. Yet, Don’s creations are manmade miracles. He designed, produced and raced some of the fastest automobiles in the world. His creations soared to world record speed over the Bonneville Salt Flats. Don Nuss left us last year. Next month the remnants of his speed factory will be sold at auction. The cars, the motorcycles, the tools and the machinery that built them will be dispersed to the highest bidder amongst those who may have been inspired by what Don Nuss accomplished. Let us hope that maybe a few of them, with Don’s tools, will be inspired to create their own mechanical miracles. Soar with the Condors, Don. And speaking of condors… After dwindling to fewer than two dozen individuals in the wild, the California Condor was saved from imminent extinction. Their still fragile existence reached a milestone this week when four condors, raised in a captive breeding program, were rto the forests of the Redwood National and State Parks to soar over the ancestral territory of Yurok Nation. These four condors are the first to return to their prehistoric homeland since their near extermination in the 1880s. Welcome home, condors.

We missed you. In my short time in Crescent City I have been amazed with the greatness, splendor and beauty of Del Norte County. It is a joy to discover something new and inspiring each day. With your permission, I would like to occasionally share these discoveries with you. I would be especially grateful if you would share with me the special discoveries you have made here in this blessed community. Whether natural or manmade, or the combined spirit of both, there is so much to be enjoyed here at home, and so much to be thankful for. Please write me here and let me know what you think. Oh, and by the way… Local Housing Element is worthwhile reading Del Norte County planning commissioners and the Board of Supervisors this past week got a preview of the draft Housing Element of the Del Norte County General Plan for 2022-2030. The Housing Element is one of seven mandated elements of the General Plan which, as a whole, provides the guiding principles for local county government. This 186-page document, while not among the manmade miracles described above, is an invaluable resource for government officials, planners, developers, business owners and the public at large. There’s something in the Housing Element for everyone. A reader will learn much about Del Norte County’s history and future. I could describe it to you, but it would take more than 186 pages. I would expect every candidate running for a seat on the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors to become familiar with the General Plan, and in particular with the Housing Element, as it affects everyone in Del Norte County. It is available on-line at the County of Del Norte website for review or download. I will lend my personal copy to someone who wants to read it. But bring it back. I only got to page 34. So, put down that romance novel or monster truck magazine for a moment and pick up a copy of the Draft Housing Element of the Del Norte County General Plan.

Letters to the Editor I am going to fight To the Editor: I was working with Department of Health part-time extra help. Pretty much as a lunch cook, about five hours a week. Today I was called by an office employee to be told not to come in tomorrow and that I was no longer welcome. Why you ask? There was an incident at work with a very special needs client. No supervision whatsoever for these special needs clients. I went into the back to get my supervisor only to have the door slammed in my face. Okay, what do I do now? Very distraught by the situation I called Human Resources. So, speaking with the HR supervisor I was advised that this person wasn’t even allowed to fire me. On top of all this, she is accusing me of striking a client. So much for doing my job. She speaks to me like I’m a

second class citizen. Does she have any idea how mentally abusive that is? I’ve already advised my union rep and personal lawyer. I’m going to fight this tooth and nail. Just to prove how abusive and messed up management is. This is what I get for 15 bucks an hour. Also, I wasn’t even advised at any point, nor in the (recruitment ad) indicating that I would have to be a chef. Excuse me, for that I should be paid a lot more. And I cook really good, anyone at my job site will tell you that. I’m going to miss them. There is only one person who apologized to me for this matter. I’m going to miss her. She was the coolest. Okay, I don’t want to cry now. Later for now. Thank you so much for reading. Desiree Casano Crescent City

Last week, I attended the Town Hall meeting on Housing and the Homeless held by State Senator Mike McGuire. This provided a wealth of information on what California is doing to address the housing crisis. The most obvious statement of the evening was from a speaker who said, “There is only one solution for homelessness and that is housing.” In the next eight years, 2.5 million new housing units will be needed in California. The state has begun addressing this shortfall, which goes far beyond helping the 161,000 who are currently homeless. This is about ensuring all people have affordable housing. Some people prefer to demonize the homeless as a caricature of a drug-crazed, mentally ill criminal that is beyond redemption. Some want to lock them up or move them out of town. If you think of the homeless as unwanted refuse of our society, it’s easier not to care. It’s important to understand who the homeless people really are. Most unhoused people didn’t come from somewhere else. They are from this community and have simply fallen on hard times.

The largest segment of our unhoused population are women with children and women over 65. Many are veterans. Most do not choose to be homeless, but they are forced into it due to a lack of alternatives. In most cases they are homeless because they cannot afford to rent a home. There is a serious lack of affordable rental housing and not enough is being done locally to address this. The State is providing funding to help, but communities and local government must also do their part. Project Home Key is a state program that provides funding to convert hotels and motels into permanent or interim housing. This comes with three years of wraparound services that can help people return to mainstream society, including mental health services, addiction treatment and employment preparation. Project Home Key has funded and completed one local project that has provided housing for 17% of our local unhoused population. This is a start. We need to address the causes of our affordable housing shortage. Local government can set policies that address these issues. For

example, the reduction of affordable housing has been exacerbated by the increasing Kevin number of Hendrick properties that have been converted from rental properties to vacation rentals. These conversions have a significant impact on both the price and availability of housing in our community. If you cannot muster compassion for the suffering of our poor people, then know this. It is much more expensive to do nothing. The cost of emergency response services is significant, and includes law enforcement, emergency health care and social services. It is more cost effective to help the homeless people stabilize their lives, find gainful employment, and return to being tax-paying citizens. We can help homeless people break out of the cycle of hopelessness, by providing stable affordable housing first, then helping them address their other challenges. We can do better.

Eye on Del Norte

Low-income projects are coming our way The “Not Now, Not Ever!” Triplicate editorial was spot on correct. The opinion content was ominous and very unnerving. There’s much more you need to know about the homelessness crisis, and I’m certain you won’t learn anything new by watching Senator Mike McGuire’s Town Hall on the Crisis. You won’t learn anything helpful from the good Senator or his political extensions: The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors or the Crescent City Council. For those who missed the April 5 Zoom Town Hall, it was daunting, intimidating, breathless at times and wildly utopian. State Senate Majority leader McGuire (D-CA 2) promised constituents in his District (North Coast counties from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon border) 150 new low/no income housing projects in the next two years. If McGuire and his fellow Utopians have their way, this results will create nothing short of a Dystopian state. These projects will forever alter the face of the North Coast. Some $223 million has already been spent through Operation Home Key and other housing programs along the North Coastal counties. McGuire also promises a new court system. If legislation is successful, the Care Court will oversee drug-addicted, alcoholic and mentally ill who would

be compelled to follow the new court’s orders. Statewide, $14 billion is promised to build 50,000 units with three years wrap-around services for the estimated 161,000 individuals who claim to be without a home, but suffer from drug, alcohol and/or mental health problems. The $14 billion divided by the reported homeless population translates to nearly $87,000 per individual. Staggering! McGuire also announced these once-homeless folks are now eligible to be placed in low income, subsidized housing and would now be hired by Cal Trans in career positions at prevailing wage. The projected hires are expected to number about 10,000 in the Golden State, according to McGuire. Assuming the utopian model of hiring more Caltrans employees takes place, can you imagine the future workers compensation and disability claims that will emerge from this grandiose, utopian plan? What message are we sending to those who toil at minimum or low-wage jobs in Del Norte County with no housing assistance component? What remains uncertain is the financial impact upon taxpayers of providing free housing and suppport services to 1,000 or more unemployed individuals. How have we learned about these projected numbers? Recently, I was contacted by a

District 2 Washington Park resident who was very concerned that his neighborRoger hood might be Gitlin the site of one of McGuire’s projects. I asked the voter why he held this opinion. He said that by attending a September 2021 Zoom meeting he deduced his home was situated in an area the county and state might find suitable to build low-income and no-income housing. Every eight years cities and counties conduct a Regional Housing Needs Allocation survey. Those surveys, completed last September, indicate that, for the period of 2022 to 2030, Crescent City will need 189 more housing units, while the unincorporated area of the county will need 386 units. Forty percent of all allocated housing units must be directed for low- or no-income recipients, approximately 250 units, with attending family members. This adds up to perhaps 1000+ new residents with little or no economic viability. I contend and share the very minimum a project is already in works. With the hundreds as yet Please see GITLIN, Page A9

Let’s Talk Real Estate

The escrow process Now that you have your Realtor© and lender in place, lets explore the rest of the home buying process. Your Realtor© and lender are hopefully communicating with you and each other. So now you have found the home you like. You write an offer, and it gets accepted. In this market there were probably at least a couple other offers, and yours is the one that was accepted. Congratulations, you are on your way to home ownership! Your Realtor© will open escrow, and order whatever inspections that have been agreed upon. Escrow is the independent third party that will facilitate your home purchase. Your lender will require you to send in many documents to get your loan approved. It is very important to turn those documents into your lender as soon as possible. Delays in turning in your documentation can cause delays to your loan and delays to your

purchase. Please do not go out and charge a house full of furniture at this point! I have seen buyers get excited and charge a bunch of stuff, only to find out the lender had to run their credit again towards the end of the process. The lender determined there was too much debt, so the buyers could not qualify for the loan. If you have a load of new debt, it is quite possible you will no longer qualify for the loan. You may find yourself trying to find a place to put your newly purchased items. Your lender will order an appraisal. The appraiser is the eyes of your lender as far as the value of the home goes. The appraiser will measure the property and pull together comparable properties that are active and that have sold. The appraiser will tell your lender the value of the property you are purchasing. If the property appraises for less than the

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 120 GEORGETOWN PLACE, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $109,183.36 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. HOMESEARCH.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 098926-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 098926-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale

999

Public Notices was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Letters to the Editor

Guest column

We have regressed back to the era of robber barons and Depression era tax breaks for the rich, and hard times for the poor. And it’s not the government who is fleecing us, it is the Party of NO who is allowing it. They approve huge tax breaks for the 1%, then they vote NO on affordable healthcare, NO childcare tax credits, NO paid family leave, NO affordable college, and NO housing for the homeless. They want Americans to work harder when the system is rigged for the 1%. It is time for the Party of NO to get their heads out of the Reagan era and start thinking of solutions, instead of repeating tired old refrains about lazy poor people. We know who’s gaming the system, and they’re not poor. Here’s an old refrain: If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Can America change its course?

Party of NO says No to homeless In your Editorial “Not now, Not ever” you suggest that instead of State funded programs for the homeless, our community should assess the needy and “provide affective assistance one person and family at a time.” How does our relatively poor community pay for that? Shouldn’t we be thankful that some of our California taxes are earmarked for our community? Instead of repeating tired refrains about lazy poor people gaming the system, why not investigate some real solutions to the extreme income inequality that is plaguing our country? Back in the ‘70’s my Dad used to lecture me on the free market and trickle down theory. Back then there were union jobs that could support an entire family. Rent was affordable. That was before our manufacturing and mill jobs went to Asia for cheap labor. That was before Amazon, Walmart, and huge monopolies took over almost everything that could make a profit.

Art for the Sky Crescent Elk Middle School has done more sky art projects than any school in the country.

After beginning in 2007 with a cougar, the school has done an elk, a sperm whale, an orca, a grey owl, a redwood tree, and a mermaid. Just last week, they completed a seal balancing a crescent moon on its nose. All these works are essentially giant living paintings made of the students performing as pixels in the image. These images, which only make sense from the sky, have been filmed from the top of the Crescent City Fire Department ladder truck and a drone. These projects have been facilitated by Art for the Sky, a program founded two decades ago. Art for the Sky teaches the power of collaboration and learning to awaken one’s “skysight,” which is the ability to see and incorporate a big picture view of the world. Art for the Sky has completed over 400 projects. Crescent Elk invited Art for the Sky back to help celebrate the school’s 90th anniversary.

By Kimball Shinkoskey

In 390 B.C., mid-way through Rome’s long democratic history, an orator named Camillus confronted a Rome defeated in war and burned to the ground. He stood up in what was left of the Forum and gave this challenge: don’t give up, remember our 400-year-old history, recover our greatness, celebrate our gods, and rebuild. Today, 400 years after Jamestown and Plymouth Rock, there are enormous signs America may be finished as a democracy. America has not suffered a full-scale invasion of the homeland as Rome did then. But our new century began with a horrifying assault on our own greatest city and the ruin of its two shiniest towers. In addition, our roads and bridges, water, waste and power facilities, transit, airports and telecommunications infrastructure all lie in tatters, abused by neglect and underfunding if not by war. And we are suffering Daniel Dancer Art for the Sky defeat in many other ways. We have suffered a great plague which has taken away our wise elders and has left the living in a shock from which we have not yet recovered. Many people still cower at home, a part of “The Great Resignation,” too unsettled to return to work yet. Our country is unable to serve as the policeman of the world any longer. Our wealthy class is unwilling to bear anything like a fair share of the public freight. Tired of our religious denominations, our newspapers, our charities, our educational institutions and even our Capitol, we mock and disregard them. Rome’s Camillus made arguments we might listen to today. Rome’s working

unannounced projects on the McGuire-hit list, one can reasonably extrapolate the numbers of those without home will grow significantly in Del Norte County. The WHERE remains undisclosed, but reliable sources tell me, one City project off Third St is planned for as many as 75 low income units. Homeowners near Mary Peacock School need also to be vigilant as parcels totaling 17 acres involving

class wanted to abandon the city to become immigrants and beggars in a distant countryside in Italy where the landowners might perhaps take them under their wings. Camillus questioned if they ought not instead remember their ancestors and ancient institutions represented by her temples of learning and worship, some still standing. Should they forget their sacred holidays of thanksgiving, their patriotic gathering days for elections, their triumphal ceremonies conferring awards for valor, their funeral orations? Should they abandon the gods who had established them in the land, and the new gods they had welcomed when Rome invited immigrants herself. Should they forget national monuments, sacred battlefields, political advances and great debates as a people? He wondered if their lack of civic pride couldn’t be remedied with effort, the city’s streets and sewers rebuilt, new strengths found, and new policies enacted by consent of all of the people. We might ask similar questions today. Should we not remember our own ancestry and our state and county histories? Should we deprive our national holidays of meaning, object to our own elections, forget our own heroes old and new? Should we marginalize the contributions of our religious denominations and their teachings of love and forgiveness and sacrifice? Should we forget the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the battleground of Gettysburg, our orations imploring us to “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”? Should we 11 owners who own property near Arlington and Washington. Our local elected and Del Norte government officials with whom I have spoken claim to know nothing about any Del Norte project; or they are simply not talking. I suspect the latter. There are those who live in denial and will claim nothing I’ve shared with you is valid. My challenge to the City and County as well as the charming State Senator is: Deny that what I am alleging is untrue. All too often, the public remains in the dark until

deny the long-standing effort made to protect the public’s health and overcome our own innumerable instances of pestilence, blight, cancer and sorrow? Do we disregard our own monuments like the Statue of Liberty and forget our achievements like ending slavery, growing civil rights, and enfranchising women? Do we forget our early national debates over issues like slavery and whether the country should get into entangling European alliances and wars, and our new ones like what we wish to do with abortion, college debt and other grand issues? Do we run from them, or debate and decide them? Camillus argued that Rome’s ancestors did not give up when they encountered hardships, so why should they, and, indeed, why should we today? Should we abandon our land, our cities and streets and let them be polluted and defaced and run into the ground by rogue drug lords, like the war lord of Russia has treated Ukraine? Camillus said he still looked upon Rome’s “hills and plains” and even her skies with great affection and could not bear to leave them. Do we want to leave ours? Rome responded and rebuilt. What will we do? Robert Kimball Shinkoskey is a public health worker and historian of democracy. one sunny day, bulldozers show up and start the heretofore mentioned projects. Readers, consider yourselves so advised. Now is the time to be very vigilant. Next week, I’ll be writing about, “What is Homelessness?” and offer cogent common-sense solutions to addressing this rapidly growing problem in Del Norte County. Roger Gitlin is a retired two-term member of the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors, and is a retired Multi-Subject CLAD certificated and credentialed teacher.

Argentina at the beginning of the 20th Century. The sound is a combination of music from European and African immigrants that came to Argentina, mixed with the influence of indigenous people and the folk songs of the gauchos (Argentine cowboys). “There’s a strong feeling of nostalgia in the presentation of tango, and there’s a sensual energy in the music and the dance,” explained Jacobsen. “In Argentina, the lyrics, dance, music, and poetry are part of a complete art form.” Los Tangueros came together four years ago. They honed their sound playing clubs, concert halls and milongas—tango dance parties. Focusing on Jacobsen’s original compositions which are inspired by classic Tango forms, the group strives for a singular Nuevo Tango sound that is cool and impassioned, while being downright dance-inducing. While Los Tangueros have created a unique and compelling sound for modern audiences, they also

take inspiration from early tango recordings. “The idea is to create modern tangos,” Jacobsen explained. “Some of the great tango standards were written in the early 1900s, including ‘La Cumparsita,’ the most famous tango of all time. It includes the riff synonymous with tango for people who don’t know the music. It’s still played every night at the end of almost every milonga around the world.” Jacobsen summarizes: “Tango is an all-encompassing lifestyle you can immerse yourself in.” The Los Tangueros concert will feature appearances from world champion Tango dancers and songs from the group’s debut album, Alma Vieja, which showcases the band’s excellent musicianship and the adventurous arrangements they’ve created. Tickets for the concert are available at Del Norte Office Supply in Crescent City and online at dnaca. eventbrite.com. Remaining tickets will be available at the door, which opens at

6:15 p.m. the night of the concert. General tickets are $20, senior (65+) are $18, and students (K - full-time college) are $15.

Yurok Tribe opens first tribally operated visitor center The Yurok Tribe, in partnership with the Redwood National and State Parks, celebrated the grand opening of the recently renovated and renamed Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh “Stone Lagoon” Visitor Center, the first tribally operated visitor center within the California State Park system. “The restoration of our role as the steward of Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh represents a significant step toward the healing of our people,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe to more than 150 tribal and state park officials, and representatives from other state and federal agencies. “We are extremely proud to be the first tribe in California to operate a visitor center within the state park system. It is humbling to know this precedent sets the stage for many other tribes to follow suit,” Chairman James added. Chairman James thanked the North Coast Redwoods State Park for taking the time “to build a reciprocal relationship with the Tribe, and taking action to correct an historic wrong.” “I hope public land managers from all over California and the entire United States use the partnership between the state park and the tribe as a blueprint to build solid working relationships with sovereign tribal nations in their regions,” added California State Parks North Coast Redwoods Superintendent Victor Bjelajac. “Our partnership on the visitor center, the renaming of Sue-meg State Park, and

I know we will embark on many more equally exciting endeavors in the not so distant future.” Managed by Yurok Cultural Resources Director and Tribal Heritage Preservation Officer, Rosie Clayburn, the Chahpekw O’ Ket’-toh “Stone Lagoon” Visitor Center now contains a multitude of digital and convention-

al displays that reflect the Tribe’s longstanding cultural connection to the lagoon. The Tribe and Park hired Yurok interpreters to share Tribe’s history from pre-contact to contemporary times. “Visitors have an opportunity to learn about the Tribe from Yurok citizens,” Clayburn said. For countless generations, Yurok families

occupied multiple villages, such as Chah-pekw and Cho-chkwee, near the coastal lagoon. The residents of the villages lived in relative peace until the California Gold Rush, when European settlers attempted a genocide against the Tribe and neighboring indigenous nations. The Tribe endured several devastating atrocities during this tumultuous

time period, but the Yurok people were never removed from the region. In fact, many contemporary Yurok citizens in the region are descendants of the Chah-pekw and Cho-kwee villagers who survived the Native American holocaust. One of the descendants, Yurok Tribal Council Member Sherri Provolt, assisted in the formation of the agreement that paved

the way for the Tribe to operate the Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh Visitor Center. “It feels really good to regain our rightful place as the primary caretaker of Chah-pekw O’ Ket’toh,” said Tribal Council Member Provolt. “I know our ancestors would be proud that we are making positive change for future generations of Yurok people and natives throughout the state.”

Condors will soon fly over Northern California’s redwoods By MATT MAIS Yurok Information Office

The Yurok Tribe and Redwood National Park and State Parks will soon release the first four California condors to take flight in the heart of the bird’s former range since 1892. “For countless generations, the Yurok people have upheld a sacred responsibility to maintain balance in the natural world. Condor reintroduction is a real-life manifestation of our cultural commitment to restore and protect the planet for future generations,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “On behalf of the Yurok Tribe, I would like to thank all of the individuals, agencies and organizations that helped us prepare to welcome prey-go-neesh (condor) back to our homeland.” “The return of the condors to the skies over the redwoods represents a significant milestone in the

restoration of this magnificent forest to its former glory,” remarked Redwood National and State Park Superintendent Steve Mietz. “This project is a model for listening to and following the lead of the park’s original stewards, healing both our relationship with the land and its original people.” Paul Souza, Regional Director for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Southwest Region, said “the reintroduction of condors into Northern California is truly a monumental moment. This effort builds upon the program’s collective knowledge and history of releasing condors and showcases the benefit of partnering with Tribes and others to implement recovery of listed species.” Souza added, ‘We are proud to support this collaborative and innovative partnership with the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National Park. Together we can recover listed species for future generations.”

The release of the four birds will be livestreamed at www.facebook.com/ TheYurokTribe/ and at https://www.yuroktribe. org/yurok-condor-live-feed Comprised of biologists and technicians from the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks, the Northern California Condor Restoration Program will collaboratively manage the flock from a newly constructed condor release and management facility near the Klamath River. The Northern California condor team will work collaboratively with the other condor field teams as part of the larger recovery program guided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The four condors, including one female and three males, are between two and three years old, which is the ideal age range for the birds to flourish in the wild. Two of the males were hatched at the Peregrine Fund’s World Center for

Birds of Prey in Idaho. The other two condors were hatched at the Oregon Zoo and raised at the Idaho center. In February, the four birds were transferred to the Ventana Wildlife Society’s flight pen in Big Sur before they were transported to the Northern California Restoration Program facility in late March. Over the last 30 years, the Service’s Condor Recovery Program has developed an exceptionally effective blueprint to guide the reintroduction process, which begins long before the birds are released. For example, reintroduced condors are reared in large flight pens with exposure to the natural environment and, when possible, other condors of various ages for mentorship. The extremely social avian scavengers acquire life skills from their elders and their own experiences. Elder or mentor birds assist the juvenile condors in obtaining the worldly knowledge they need to survive outside of captivity. The World Center for Birds of Prey provided the Northern California Restoration Program a sevenyear-old condor to fulfill this important function for the four birds as they transition into the wild. Condor 746 will remain in the flight pen and is expected to mentor future release birds at this location. Similar to the reintroduced condors in Arizona, the Northern California flock will be considered a nonessential, experimental population under the Endangered Species Act. This pragmatic approach was selected because it is proven to be an effective method of recovering federally listed species. Additionally, the stakeholder-driven strategy better facilitates proactive conservation and reduces the regulatory impact of reintroducing a federally listed species.

Over time, the birds are expected to disperse across Northern California and Southern Oregon. Through careful management, the Condor Restoration Program’s primary goal is to develop a self-sustaining condor population in the rural region, which will fill a currently vacant ecological niche in the redwood forest ecosystem as well as aid in the overall recovery of the species. Frankie Myers, the Yurok Tribe’s Vice Chairman., stated that “every year, the Yurok Tribe completes multiple, large-scale river and forest habitat improvement projects in our ancestral territory. We also manage a 15,000-acre old growth redwood forest and salmon sanctuary.”

Condor reintroduction is a major part of the Yurok Tribe’s long-term plan to restore the diverse ecosystems within the Yurok homeland,” Vice Chairman Myers said. “As a people, we will not recover from the traumas of the last century until we fix our environment. Our culture, our ceremonies, our wellbeing and our identity are inextricably linked to the landscape.” Yurok connection to the condor The recovery of this sacred species signifies significant progress toward the restoration of an intricately interconnected ecosystem and the people who are responsible for taking care of it. “Prey-goneesh,” the Tribal name for the condor, plays a principal role in the Yurok creation story and is prominently featured in the Tribe’s White Deerskin Dance and Jump Dance.

Colleges work to increase enrollment after huge pandemic drop By Suzanne Potter Guest Article

California colleges, especially two-year institutions, are working overtime to attract more students this fall, in the wake of a big drop in enrollment during the pandemic. According to the National Student Clearinghouse, California colleges lost

more than 250,000 students from 2019 to 2021. Miguel Cardona, U.S. Secretary of Education, said enrollment plummeted by one million students nationwide. “But the steepest declines are at our community colleges and among men of color,” Cardona pointed out. “The impact of these ‘missing million’ could be

felt for decades.” A Gallup poll of adult students found college attendees who had the hardest time staying enrolled are those who act as caregivers, are multiracial, or come from households making less than $24,000 a year. Congress raised Pell grants by $400 a year in the March federal spending

bill, but advocates argued those grants would need to be doubled in order to make a meaningful difference in college affordability. Raul Rodriguez, chancellor of the San Jose- Evergreen Community College District, said schools are partnering with employers to create programs leading directly

to good jobs, and they are making college more accessible. “One of the things that we committed to early on was reaching out to the students we lost, calling them, finding out, ‘What’s going on? How can we help you?’ “ Rodriguez explained. “As well, this year, we haven’t charged students

for tuition.” Many schools are trying to make courses more attractive to working adults but offering more online courses, and making lectures viewable after the fact, a trend called asynchronous scheduling. Support for this reporting was provided by Lumina Foundation.
