State will keep mask rules through June 15 ZACK DEMARS The Triplicate
California will keep its COVID-19 mask rules in place through June 15, state health officials announced this week. The announcement came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a seismic shift in its recommendations, saying those who’ve been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can safely
unmask and disregard distancing requirements in many instances. Following that new guidance, states across the country, including Oregon, updated their own rules to allow the fully vaccinated to unmask in some settings. But California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said Monday the state would wait to lift its mandate until June 15, when state officials plan to lift most pandemic restrictions.
“On June 15, California plans to implement the CDC’s guidelines around masking to allow fully vaccinated Californians to go without a mask in most indoor settings. This four-week period will give Californians time to prepare for this change while we continue our relentless focus on delivering vaccines, particularly in underserved communities,” Ghaly said in a statement. For the time being, the state’s
mask guidance still applies, meaning generally face coverings are required indoors regardless of vaccination status and unvaccinated people must mask outdoors where distancing can’t be maintained. “We urge all Californians to get vaccinated to ensure that infection and hospitalization rates remain low across the state and that we can all return to the activities we love,” Ghaly said. Locally, Del Norte County will remain in the red tier of the state’s pan-
demic restrictions for a 15th week. It’s one of just 10 counties which remains in that level of restrictions. The county’s 3.4% test positivity rate and 14.5 cases per day per 100,000 in population are still some of the highest in the state. According to the county’s public health department, there were 29 active cases of the virus in the county as of Tuesday. Please see MASKS, Page A9

Farmers market moving to harbor KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate
The Crescent City Farmers Market will be kicking off in a new location this year, as it moves from its longtime position at the fairgrounds to the Crescent City Harbor. Angel Hanson, farmers market manager, said the move was mainly due to financial reasons, but there were other considerations also, such as the draw of the harbor. “Everybody comes to Crescent City for the harbor. It was the best choice for us right now,” said Hanson. The Crescent City Farmers Mar-
ket is operated by the local nonprofit Rural Human Services, which also runs the county’s largest food bank and the Harrington House women’s shelter, among other projects. When mulling the decision to move, RHS surveyed vendors to get their input. The result was mixed, with about half of vendors preferring the former location at the fairgrounds, while the other half favored the harbor. Paul Madeira owns Ocean Air Farms with his wife Julie Jo Williams. As longtime vendors at the market, Madeira said they have seen many changes over the years,
including increases in the number of vendors and the addition of prepared food. He said the move to the harbor could be good. “I think that there’s pros and cons to this change, the pros being it’s a beautiful location. Not just a parking lot on the side of the highway. It’s representative of our community, and when we get people from out of town, I think it can click really well,” said Madeira. Madeira said he is apprehensive about what the weather will be like so close to the ocean. Nevertheless, he said patrons and vendors will adapt. In addition to the change of
location, the market will look different this year without any Oregon vendors, who are now barred from participating due to a state rule change. Previous participants included Sweet Cron Produce from Kerby, Oregon, as well as Promiseland Farm from Sunny Valley. Hanson said she was disappointed to let go of their Oregon vendors, but she did not want to risk fines of up to $1,000, which RHS would be responsible for. “It could actually close down the market, if the fines and citations are big enough,” said Hanson.

Wild Rivers Market is the go-to for natural foods KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate
When Rick Littlefield bought a little health foods store called Crescent City Health Foods in 1986, the organic and natural foods movement was just beginning to germinate. Since then, the demand for natural foods has fully sprouted, and organic produce has become mainstream with the rise of Whole Foods Market and the ilk. With the expansions in the overall market, Littlefield’s store has also grown. After a couple of moves and name changes, the most recent coming in 2013 when they moved to their current location, Wild Rivers Market stands as the go-to natural grocery store in Crescent City. “Now, it’s really established,” said Littlefield. “I think most people in Crescent City know about us, and they like what we’re doing.” What started as a family operation with three employees has now expanded to three stores and more than 200 employees.

With the entire state battling an extended drought, State Senator Mike McGuire is preparing for an active fire season on the North Coast. “The era of megafires, it’s here,” said McGuire. “With this drought emergency underway, and moisture levels already at record lows in our forests and in our wildlands, we are looking at yet another tough wildland fire year.” McGuire hosted a remote meeting with the Coastal Conservancy on Monday to address steps the state is taking to bolster wildfire prevention in the region. Among those steps, the state expects to invest more than $1 billion in wildfire prevention and response, as well as hiring more CalFire firefighters and improving emergency communication services. Of the money allocated to state wildfire operations, at least $380 million will go toward prevention efforts, including vegetation management. According to McGuire, the state estimates there are 120 million dead and dying trees in the Sierra and Coastal ranges. In addition to dead and dying tree removal, the state will work with communities to remove brush and create firebreaks — a gap in vegetation around populated areas that acts as a barrier. Two other major fire prevention grants are also available to local governments and fire departments through the state, equaling $280 million in potential funding. Those being the CalFire Forest Health and the Fire Prevention grants. What’s more, CalFire is looking to add 1,200 more firefighters this year throughout the state. “That’s going to mean dozens of additional positions on top of what we had in 2020, on the North Coast here in 2021,” said McGuire. CalFire is updating its firefighting air fleet this year, which is the largest public firefighting fleet in the world, Mcguire said. They will be replacing their 12 Vietnam era helicopters with 12 modern Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopters. Additionally, the state is adding seven new cargo planes, which were retired from the Coast Guard. The state also contracts with other fleets during peak fire season. During the meeting, McGuire and Mary Small, chief deputy executive officer at the Coastal Conservancy, fielded questions submitted by the public. One resident asked about improvements in cellular service, which can be unreliable during active fires. McGuire fielded the question. He said a new state law will require telecommunication companies to supply 72 hours of backup power to select cell towers. Meaning, if the power is shut off due to fire risk, cell service will still be online, according to McGuire. He said there is a similar rule for landlines. Another resident asked about how to volunteer to assist with fire prevention in their community. Small recommended getting in touch with your local government or land management agency to learn more about volunteer opportunities.

Crescent City looking at water, sewer rates however, the last water rate study came in 2013 and the last update to wastewater came in 2015, said City Manager Eric Wier. Wier said these projects are the first-step in maintaining the overall health of both systems. Currently, residents inside city limits pay $22.49 per 0-500 cubic feet of water and $72.21 for sewer, equaling a minimum bill of $94.70. Before an increase could be instituted, it would first have to appear on a ballot after the study. Jon Olson, public works director, said
KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate
The Crescent City Council is moving forward with a study on water and sewer rates, which may result in increased rates for residents. After receiving a grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board totaling about $80,000, the city is pressing on with the overdue rate studies. Typically, rate studies for water and sewer are completed every five years,
the process to obtain the grant was one of the easiest he’s ever experienced. “To the point of push button, get grant,” said Olson. While there was virtually no discussion from the council, some members of the public spoke on the issue. Robert Derego said utility rate studies in the past have been unimpressive. Ultimately, the council unanimously decided to move forward with study, which will be coordinated by a contractor of the state water board’s choosing.
California releases proposed 2022 building code update Starting in 2022, at least one appliance for heating in most new California homes and buildings will likely be powered with electricity, rather than gas, according to a draft rule released this afternoon by the California Energy Commission. The code is thought to be first in the country to make heat pumps the baseline technology for a building code. It also increases ventilation standards for gas stoves as concern about the health dangers of burning gas indoors grows. Advocates say these measures will have climate and air quality benefits, but fall short of the all-electric building code that more than 200 stakeholders and advocates in California have requested. The release of the draft rule comes on the same day that the United Nations

released a landmark report calling for an urgent cut in global methane emissions and warning that expanding the use of fossil gas is incompatible with limiting global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Polling from FM3 released on Wednesday highlights that Californians, too, are feeling the urgency of the climate crisis, with two thirds of voters saying the state should be moving more quickly to address climate change. A study from Harvard University on Wednesday found that burning gas is now the leading cause of premature death in 19 states, and that outdoor air pollution from burning gas in buildings cost California $2.3 billion in 2017 alone. Attention is now likely to turn out California’s 2025 code, as analysis from Energy
Innovation has found that meeting the Biden administration’s climate target of cutting climate pollution 50% by 2030 would require that new construction across the nation be all-electric from 2025. Building without gas delivers considerable cost savings for developers and residents. The following experts released statements in response to the proposed code: “The 2022 code update is a step in the right direction, but with the health and prosperity of millions of Californians hanging in the balance, we can no longer be satisfied with incremental progress. California is still expanding the gas system more quickly than any other state in the nation, even as the U.N. this week highlights that that expansion is incompatible with a habitable planet. We

need to strengthen this code and need a solid commitment from policymakers for pollution-free buildings in 2025, or California risks being a major barrier to national emissions reduction goals.” Matt Vespa, staff attorney, Earthjustice “California’s proposed building code update is a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t go far enough to cut the pollution from gas appliances that is fueling the climate crisis. New findings from Harvard University show that air pollution from buildings in California cut short 1,500 lives and cost $17 billion dollars in 2017. We have the option to build pollution-free homes that are healthier and more affordable, and we should take it. We’re disappointed it didn’t happen this code cycle. It absolutely must happen in the next.” Matt Gough, senior campaign representative, Sierra Club’s My Generation campaign “While the CEC’s proposal is an important step forward to reduce pollution from buildings, California needs to do more. We know that all-electric buildings are cheaper. We know they are healthier. Meanwhile, every new gas building in the state locks us into decades of emissions and wasted infrastructure costs. Delaying all-electric construction is a mistake. The CEC needs to commit publicly to going all-electric in the next code cycle, so that the state can stop expanding the use of expensive and dangerous fossil gas.” Denise Grab, manager on RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings team “The BDC applauds these groundbreaking and necessary improvements; indeed, they represent the first— not final—step towards a resilient, reliable and carbon free California. The State’s leadership must build on this momentum by moving quickly to implement an all-electric building code, stopping the expansion of fossil gas infrastructure and guaranteeing equity is at the forefront of our clean energy transition.”

John Hall Scott was born in 1956 in Lynwood, California to Iris and George Scott. In 1958, the Scott family moved to Del Norte County to find their forever home. John grew up on a chicken farm on Elk Valley Road learning the ethics of hard work. He attended Redwood Elementary school and graduated from Del Norte High School in 1974. While enlisted in the Navy at the age of 19, he became a father to son, Shane, and moved back home. This is when he started his career working in the mills during the boom of the timber era. In 1993, John met his forever love, Luanna, while they were both in their early 30’s. Luanna had three young children that John instantly took in as his own and they started a family. In 1995, John and Luanna were married and two years later welcomed twin baby girls, Kara and Karlie, into the family that forever imprinted true love in John’s heart. He double downed his love for his wife with the addition of his “Peanut Farmer” and “Ladybug”. John loved his children and he took
pride in all of his children’s accomplishments, especially his son Shane’s athletic ability. He could be seen cheering him on from the stands of DNHS and when he went on to play football at Sacramento State University. With the timber industry coming to an end, John started a new career in Indian gaming in Del Norte County. With the opening of Lucky 7 Casino in 1996, John started his career as a blackjack dealer, and worked his way up into management, becoming first a shift manager, then human resource manager, followed by gaming manager and for the last eight years served as General Manager. John had a clear vision for Lucky 7 Casino. He was a meticulous planner and took a hands-on leadership approach that contributed to the success of the Lucky 7 Casino’s enterprises. John was a man’s man, a mentor to many, exuded confidence, and was the hardest worker you’d ever come across. After working all day in a suit and tie, John would come home and change into his gardening attire where he would care for his beautifully landscaped yard. He was known for spending most of his free time caring for his home and cooking dinner for his family. He especially loved his visits to Sacramento to see Shane’s family and looked forward to their annual 4th of July visits to Crescent City. John loved spending time with his family gathered around the outdoor river rock fireplace he built. A lot of laughter was shared there,
while watching the moon rise. John spoiled Luanna and consistently showered her with love and flowers. He loved his family and prided himself on his ability to care for all of us. He had nicknames for all of us, from “Fireball” to “Rat Boy” and was often caught laughing, playing and cuddling with his grandchildren. John passed away at his home on the Smith River on May 6, 2021 and is preceded in death by his parents George and Iris Scott, siblings Warren Scott, Cindy Freeman and son-in-law, Bud Smith. John is survived by his wife of 27 years, Luanna and their children, Shane and Amy Scott and their children Preston and Siena; Briannon and long time partner Koiya Tuttle and their children Kokoy, Chvn-wasna, Smooch and Sekeenek’; Aleah Smith and children, Duu-ya, Nii-li, and Iris; Kara Scott and long time partner Hawk Mattz; Karlie Scott; Chris Vaughn and children Devan and William; sister Martha Flowers, sister-inlaw Connie Scott, nephews Willie and Chris Scott and niece Cheyanne Schaad and Stephanie Markin. Pallbearers include: Chris Vaughn, Shane Scott, Preston Scott, Koiya Tuttle, Hawk Mattz, Eric Brundin, Josh Criteser, and Rob Miller. The family will have a private service at Weirs Mortuary on Tuesday, May 18th, 2021, at 10am followed by a graveside service at the Howonquet Indian Cemetery in Smith River, California. In lieu of flowers please consider planting an iris in memory of John.

It all began with pizza By Laura Roberts McHenry In the mid-1960s, my dad served on the school board in Cortez, in rural southern Colorado. He recalled that at one meeting he said something a little too liberal because a fellow board member invited him to “step outside.” Fast forward some 55 years and not much has changed in this town of 8,500 in Montezuma County. Cortez still has its Old West traditions of doing things as they’ve always been done for decades, though more than one quarter of residents are now Hispanic or Native American. It’s a gun rights stronghold, and to say residents are mostly conservative is putting it mildly. But what surprised me this year was a painful public example of outright intolerance. I don’t know Lance McDaniel, 64, well, but I’ve learned that he went to high school here, then left to grow a career and a family elsewhere in Arizona and California. When he moved back he felt a need to serve his community, so stepped up in 2018 to fill a vacancy on the school board. He says he soon realized he wasn’t fitting in, but things came to a head a few months ago. It all began with pizza. McDaniel and others from a local church had been reading about how difficult it was for LBGTQ+ students to fit into middle school. So the group decided to show the kids that there were friendly people around by delivering free pizzas to three Rainbow Clubs established for LBGTQ+ students in the schools. The group figured the kids needed community support, having read that several national surveys showed that “four out of five gay and lesbian students say they don’t know one supportive adult at school.” As for the students, their reaction to the outside sup-
Laura Roberts McHenry port for their get-togethers combined gratitude and relief: “It’s nice to have a place (to eat pizza) where we can hang out with no judgment,” said one student. “It’s nice to be able to talk with people my own age,” said another. McDaniel says it was clear that the kids liked the attention, “always thanking everyone involved” when the pizza showed up. Somehow, though, as social media began telling the story, “pizza parties” of gender-fluid students were repeatedly mentioned in a negative way. It all came to a head when a virtual school board meeting was interrupted by people complaining loudly about these odd “pizza parties.” Worse, McDaniel and his family became the targets of threats and denunciations on social media. Then last July, a petition to oust McDaniel from the school board began to circulate, with a recall election slated for February 16, 2021, if passed. The petition charged that in several of his posts on social media about social justice, McDaniel had “… proven to be a poor role model for our children.” The
DEAR ABBY
petition added, “We need school board members that understand leadership and the power of mentoring, and know not to voice their personal, political, or social opinions that could influence children.” McDaniel told the local press that he stood by his social media posts. “My personal opinion is that (conservatives) have bullied us long enough, and that we don’t need to be quiet. If I see racism, I’ll point it out; if I see someone being oppressed, I’ll say something about it,” he said to local radio station KSJD. McDaniel lost the recall by a two-to-one vote in an election that cost the school district $21,000. He could have been voted out for free, as his appointed seat was up in November. Still, this punitive recall failed to silence McDaniel’s voice. On social media, he still sticks up for the underdog and likes to share a quote from Charles Dickens: “Never...be mean in anything; never be false; never be cruel. Avoid those three vices...and (we) can always be hopeful.” And McDaniel and his church friends continue to drop off pizzas for kids at their Rainbow Clubs. But there’s a new problem: Stories are circulating that the school board wants to close down the Rainbow Clubs. To head that off, some community members presented a petition to the board on May 11, asking for support of the clubs and the students who enjoy getting together. Let’s let them eat pizza in peace. Laura Roberts McHenry is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about Western issues. She says she wrote this column because “prejudice is hurting children and nothing could be worse than that.”

VISIT TO GRANDMA’S HOUSE COMPLICATED BY STROKE RECOVERY DEAR ABBY: My grandma, who is in her 80s, had a stroke recently. She has trouble swallowing and speaking, so she’s in a rehab facility 20 miles from her home, where she is doing strengthening exercises. She tires out from just walking around her room, so it’s not yet clear if she will become a permanent resident or discharged with home health nurses. We are distraught over this. My husband and I were originally planning to visit her this summer -- our annual vacation -- for a few days. She lives 12 hours from us. I was going to ask her if we were welcome, but she had the stroke before I could. I’d like to ask her if she’d mind if we still visit and, if it’s OK with her, stay in her house, so I can visit her at the facility if she hasn’t been discharged. My mother thinks this is a bad idea. We have a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old, and Mom thinks they would be too much for Grandma. Abby, I don’t want my grandma to die before I get to see her again. We haven’t seen her in four years. But after talking with Mom, I’m now hesitant to ask. The thought of missing a chance to see her one last time hurts my heart. What should we do? -- MISS HER IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR MISS: Listen to your mother because what she’s saying makes sense. If your grandmother is discharged with home nursing care, there won’t be enough room for your family. Two small, active children may, indeed, be more than she can deal with in her weakened condition. Because it’s important for you to see your grandmother, make other lodging arrangements for your family when you’re in town, and keep your visits with her
Mailing: PO Box 277 Crescent City, CA
short and as stress-free as possible. DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 25 years, some good and some bad. The hardest thing for me is that when my husband is upset with me, he stops talking to me. If I ask if something’s wrong, he won’t answer or says “nothing” is wrong. I have explained repeatedly how upsetting this is because I never know what I did, and then, sure enough, I do it again. He says he doesn’t want to say anything hurtful, but can’t he tell me why he’s upset and not be hurtful? He also accuses me of creating drama when I get upset because I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong. Then, when I do it again, he’s like, “We discussed this.” I have tried not talking until he’s ready, but, again, there is no resolution, and I’m getting very resentful that the ball is always in his court. How do I handle this? -- EXHAUSTED IN NEW YORK DEAR EXHAUSTED: An effective way to handle this would be for you to insist the two of you discuss with a licensed marriage therapist how to more effectively communicate. The ball is always in your husband’s court because he has maneuvered it to be, and it isn’t playing fair. In fact, it is emotional abuse. Do not expect him to like the suggestion, and don’t be surprised if he refuses to go. If that happens, you should go anyway. His behavior is passive-aggressive. ----------------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

We need to remember those who gave their all By Kelly Fitzpatrick For the second year in a row, Memorial Day observances in communities, organizations and even within family groups will look very different later this month because of the COVID pandemic. The parades, large ceremonies and other occasions, which I and so many others in the Oregon veteran community have always found moving and meaningful, have not yet been able to safely return in many places. Yet, the importance of this day — and the emotions and memories that it brings — have not changed. For countless families across our communities, our state and our nation, Memorial Day is a stark and, often painful, reminder of those loved ones who went to serve their country and never came home. Whether they volunteered during a time of war, stood guard over our peace or never expected to wear the uniform until their draft card arrived — their service and selfless sacrifice represent the best and highest ideals that America has to offer. We continue to feel their loss today. In recent months, and particularly as we have approached this year’s Memorial Day holiday, I have found myself reflecting on the themes of unity and strength in diversity. It was just before the Korean War, in 1948, that President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 — abolishing discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in the United States Armed Forces. When war broke out in 1950, our country entered the fray with a fully integrated and desegregated military. I believe those who have served our nation in uniform know the meaning — and the value — of unity more than almost anyone else. We were trained to protect those on our right and those on our left — and to trust that they would do the same for us. Every day in service, all that mattered was that someone had your six, and was there to offer a hand when you stumbled. Their color, nation of origin, religion or sexual orientation were not part of the equation. After service, the diversity of our veteran community is a source of immense pride and strength. We are Black, White, Latinx, Asian American and Pacific Islander, men, women, transgender and non-binary, young and old, urban and rural, of every race, religion and creed — unified through our shared service and sacrifice. The honored ranks of the fallen include Sgt. John Noble Holcomb, who was born in Baker, Oregon. John was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his extraordinary courage and sacrifice during the Vietnam War — where he singlehandedly forced an enemy retreat, despite being mortally wounded, saving many American lives. They include Erin McLyman, from Eugene, Oregon, who proudly enlisted in the Unit-
ed States Air Force after recovering from a severe, years-long addiction to drugs and alcohol that began when she was in just her first year in high school. She later enlisted in the Oregon National Guard, and was eager to deploy to Iraq. She died March 13, 2010, in an enemy mortar attack. They include the 100th Infantry Battalion — which became known unofficially as the “Purple Heart Battalion” — The unit was one of only two combat units during World War Two that was comprised of second-generation Japanese-Americans (known as “Nisei”) who had briefly had their rifles stripped away due to prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor. They would go on to fight bravely in Europe, even as their families remained in internment camps back in the United States. The men of the 100th Infantry Battalion earned recognition as the most decorated American unit of its size and length of service. The 18,000 men who served earned nearly 9500 Purple Hearts, 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented seven Presidential Unit Citations. And the honored ranks of the fallen include Army Sergeant 1st Class Alwyn Cashe, who was the first Black service member to receive the Medal of Honor for service in Iraq or Afghanistan for the heroism he displayed after his Bradley struck a roadside bomb. The explosion ruptured the Bradley’s fuel cell, engulfing both the vehicle and its occupants in flames. Enemy fire soon rained down on their position. But none of that stopped Sergeant Cashe from acting quickly to save his soldiers. Drenched in fuel, he pulled the driver and five other soldiers from the burning vehicle — saving their lives, while suffering second- and third-degree burns over 72% of his own body. Despite this, he insisted on being the last person on a medical evacuation helicopter. Alwyn exhibited incredible courage during that attack. Despite the fact that both the vehicle and its occupants were engulfed in flames, and amid unrelenting enemy fire, Sergeant Cashe acted quickly to save his soldiers. Putting the welfare of his soldiers ahead of his own and ignoring the terrible burns over 72 percent of his body, he insisted on being the last person on a medical evacuation helicopter. Sergeant Cashe died 22 days later — on Nov. 8, 2005. He was only 35. Director Fitzpatrick and the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs will host a virtual Statewide Memorial Day Ceremony this year. All Oregonians are welcome to join for the live premiere at 10 a.m. May 31, or tune in at a later time. Kelly Fitzpatrick is the director of the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs and Gov. Kate Brown’s policy advisor on veterans’ issues. She is a retired Army officer. Her military awards and decorations include multiple awards of the Meritorious Service Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Medal and the Army Parachutist Badge.
Letters to the Editor Shame on the counsil Hello, I am an elder of the Yurok Tribe. I am curious as to why the tribes that are Federally recognized get monthly checks and the Yurok’s get nothing but a few dollars here and a few dollars there. I understand hard times for all, but the Yurok counsil don’t have to deal with those pesky little problems. I was informed that the elders were going to be getting generators but nothing yet. I called and spoke with the
tribe and they said they gave to the local Yurok’s first and those of us that didn’t live in the state would be getting theirs very soon and that was in early April. No word yet. The second COVID money provided to the tribe for the people has not been dispersed. I spoke with a member in the Yurok office and was told that they received the money but needed to decide how it should be used. Really, it should be given to the tribal members. I am disappointed that we
vote these people into office and they are only about themselves and their families to heck with the rest of the tribe. Wake up people. We need to stand united and hold the counsil accountable. When the casino was built, we were told that we would be getting monthly payments from it and it has never come to fruition. Shame shame shame on the counsel for denying the people.

The applicant proposes to amend the zoning and land use designation of approximately 212 acres of a property used as commercial timberland to a property that could support rural residential use in the future. The rezone is proposed as a “ten-year rollout” meaning the re- designation of land use from timber harvest to residential use would not take place until ten years after the Board of Supervisors approves the project. The Planning Commission is first required to review and make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The project does not include a subdivision tocreate legal lots, but rather sets up the land use and zoning for such an action in the future. The land is not served by public water or sewer and would rely on on-site systems. The application includes many special studies to support the environmental review.

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $244,218.51 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000100-20-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER 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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000100-20-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale 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.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
Will the world ever be truly COVID free? Doc H As we enter the 16th month of the COVID pandemic, many problems still remain. Why after 16 months does it often feel like we’ve really made so little progress? First, the good: 1) There are a multitude of highly effective vaccines, 2) The national and state governments are doing their best to regulate human interaction without crippling the economy, and 3) People by and large really are trying to be responsible. The bad: 1) There is still 30% of the U.S. population that is refusing vaccination, 2) There are many places in the world that are currently going through dramatic infection waves (India, Chile), and 3) The resistant, more dangerous strains are becoming much more prevalent. Let’s look at the problem side a bit. Herd immunity (if there will ever be such a thing) is now being quoted at 80%. As more strains develop, the number will only get higher making it an unrealistic goal. Then there’s the cost. Who will pay for the people who decide to not be vaccinated? Imagine it’s 2025, the pandemic is basically over. A man shows up in an
emergency room. He’s got pneumonia and it’s hitting him hard. He tells one of the doctors that he had COVID a few years earlier. He had refused to get vaccinated and ended up contracting the coronavirus after most people had gotten theirs. Why did he refuse? Something about politics, or a post he saw on Facebook. He doesn’t really remember. His lungs do, though. By the end of the day he’s on a ventilator, his lungs still dysfunctional because of earlier COVID damage, damage which could have been avoided. You and I will pay for that man’s decisions. He has been clearly compromised, possibly for life and his level of future medical care will reflect that. That’s the scary thing about this virus. We really don’t know the longterm aftermath after perhaps even just a mild infection. Did you ever think something as severe as shingles would develop 60 years after a case of childhood chicken pox? We will only know how this thing will plays out decades later. As the pandemic evolves, new findings are published daily. One recent study finds that 34 percent of COVID survivors are diagnosed with a substantial neurological or psychological
condition within six months of recovering from the initial illness. Risks were greatest in, but not limited to, patients who had severe COVID. That’s a scary big number. As time goes on, it’s becoming more and more obvious that this is a disease we will never eradicate. The war against COVID will never be a slam dunk win like the battle with polio or smallpox. Like the common cold or flu viruses, there will be yearly mutations. This will necessitate yearly vaccination updates. We will get used to living with it like we do with the cold or flu, but frighteningly it’s not those. The common cold has never been responsible for mass burial pyres as we are currently seeing in India. The best we can hope for is a yearly vaccination which mostly prevents, but even more importantly limits the severity of the disease. This is a realistic goal. The U.S. has mostly curtailed uncontrolled spread. This far from being the case in other parts of the world such as India and Chile. What went so terribly wrong there? Each of these examples highlight dangerous mistakes which can be made managing this pandemic. First, we are never going
to beat it with one weapon. Beating COVID requires an entire arsenal, and one used consistently. You cannot let your guard down. Chile had one of the world’s best vaccination rates, but COVID is surging there anyway. What happened? Chile’s population was primarily vaccinated using the Chinese developed CoronaVac. It turns out this vaccine may not have nearly the same level of effectiveness as the U.S. vaccines. Also, the country’s borders, which had been closed to travel from March through November 2020 were then opened allowing a large inflow of the Brazilian P.1 variant which is far more dangerous. Similar mistakes were made in India. Their government also declared victory over COVID far too early. The country subsequently removed virtually all restrictions on large social and religious gatherings, some consisting of millions of people. Anyone watching the news lately knows how well that went, with over 300,000 new cases and death records being broken daily. India and Chile serve as examples of what can happen anywhere if complacency reigns and things are allowed to return to normal before true mass
immunity has been achieved. As for Oregon, last month, Gov. Kate Brown again placed 15 counties back in an “extreme risk” category, banning indoor dining at restaurants and limiting the number of patrons at gyms. She imposed the restrictions after cases rose by 51% in two weeks (the fastest increase in the nation at the time) and hospitalizations jumped by more than a third. As cases were declining in much of the rest of the country, Oregon had lurched in the opposite direction. Virus mutations are partly to blame. The highly contagious United Kingdom B.1.1.7 variant currently accounts for more than half of Oregon’s recent cases. So, although we probably are closer to resuming a more normal life in the United States, the true end of the global pandemic is still horrifyingly far away. To have any hope of controlling this virus there needs to be an 80+ percent vaccination rate utilizing a highly effective vaccine. Even then, in the near future we should still require masking with social separation as well as travel restrictions. We need to enforce what’s effective. The U.S. recently had the sense to close travel to 80% of the world’s high-risk
counties. This is good policy. It’s equally important not to enforce useless rules such as outdoor masking (unless in a crowded area) where the risk of transmission is only about 5% that of indoor activities. Our country seems to understand what’s needed. Still, there is enormous pressure from various groups wanting to throw all caution to the wind and immediately return to normalcy. That’s exactly what happened in Chile and India. Common sense always seems to be fighting an uphill political battle. This should not be political. In the end though we’re going to need to face the facts, that life on our planet has changed. Something eventually always has to give. The rubber band can only be stretched so tight. We’ve been overcrowding it, poisoning it, overheating it, and truly amazingly, no one still really gets along. As humans we’ve been on a reckless path for quite some time now. There have been many times in history where the reset button gets pushed. This is one of those. My hopeful side thinks that we as a species could learn something extremely valuable from this. But, if our past serves as an example, I fear we won’t.
Community volunteers and leaders applaud U.S. Senator Alex Padilla for sweeping legislation to preserve one million acres of wilderness Community volunteers and leaders from Nature For All joined with other organizations Monday to applaud U.S. Senator Alex Padilla for introducing sweeping legislation that will protect one million acres of public land and over 500 miles of rivers in California. The Public Lands Act (S. 1459) will safeguard public land in the San Gabriel Mountains, the Central Coast and Northwest California. “We value and commend Senator Padilla’s leadership as he commits to safeguard over 1 million acres of California public lands and over 500 miles of rivers,” said Belen Bernal, executive director of Nature for All. “This action permanently protects critical drinking water sources and access to healthy activities in the San Gabriel Mountains that will benefit all Californians, including those in many of the state’s
economically disadvantaged areas and communities of color. Thank you for ensuring access to nature for all, Senator Padilla.” “Our public lands are one of our state’s greatest gifts – from the San Gabriel Mountains, to the Central Coast, and through Northwestern California’s forests and rivers. It is incumbent upon us to be thoughtful stewards of these special places so that our communities can enjoy them and benefit from America’s natural resources for generations to come,” said Padilla. “And we must do so in a way that reverses racial and economic disparities in access to nature and parks. Some of the protected land in this bill serves densely populated areas of the state that don’t have equal access to nature, which will help rebalance this historic disparity in access to untouched wilderness.”
“Thank you to Senator Padilla for being a champion for protecting and providing access to California’s public lands and rivers,” said Thomas Wong, board chair, Nature for All, and Board President, San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. “Senator Padilla’s leadership on this important bill will ensure our communities in Los Angeles and throughout the state can experience nature and enjoy its benefits for generations to come.” The public land that will be protected and preserved by the legislation provides many community benefits, including respite and tranquility for many people who live in dense urban areas and have limited access to enjoy nature in parks or other public outdoor spaces, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. “These mountains are the lungs to Los Angeles, providing us with
clean air that we breathe,” said Severiana Pablo, Panorama City, Nature For All community ambassador. “This is especially important for the children and the elders in my community, many suffer from asthma or other respiratory illnesses due to excessive smog and other pollutants found in our community. Thank you, Senator Alex Padilla for your support for the conservation of the San Gabriels.” “Our health outcomes should not be determined by what zip code we live in,” said Vanessa Aramayo, executive director, Alliance for a Better Community, and board member, Nature for All. “Everyone in Los Angeles and throughout our state should have equitable access to health and wellness - and this includes access to nature. Thank you, Senator Padilla, for your support and leadership in protecting these
beloved places for us all to enjoy long into the future.” The legislative package of S. 1459 and H.R. 803 (which itself combined with key bills from the U.S. House of Representatives) would protect and preserve public land in California. The bills included in S. 1459 are: • San Gabriel Mountains Foothills and Rivers Protection Act, Rep. Judy Chu (D-Pasadena) • Central Coast Heritage Protection Act, Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) • Northwest California Wilderness, Recreation, and Working Forests Act, Rep. Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) H.R. 803 passed the full House earlier this year. The Biden Administration announced full support of the bill package, giving added momentum for approval of the bills.

Madeira said the market will be lessened without their fellow vendors from across the border. “It will reduce the variety at market...the more legitimate farmers you have showing up, the more valid a farmers market is,” said Madeira. “The more food that’s there, the better.” The Farmers Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each Saturday from June 5 until October 30. Vendors will set up underneath the large solar panels in the parking lot off of Starfish Way at the harbor. Spaces are still available. Interested vendors may call RHS at (707) 464-7441 ext. 113, or pick up application forms at the RHS office, 286 M Street.

Additionally, recent renovations increased the size of their building from 5,000 to 7,000-square-feet. With more space, the market added a deli and a salad bar last winter, which they have not been able to make full use of yet due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Masks of rolled oats and you would go and scoop it out of the bag, you’d get the organic apples, but they might have worms in them. It was a little bit funky,” said Littlefield. However, Whole Foods and similar markets brought a fresh design to natural foods stores, which altered public perception about natural foods and opened up opportunities in smaller markets, said Littlefield. With sister stores in Eureka and McKinleyville, Littlefield said Wild Rivers Market receives lower prices from vendors due to the size of the account, which in turn keeps prices lower for customers.

Five Del Norte Warriors have been named to the H-DNL All-League Team in football, it was announced this week. Seniors Tanner Forkner, Kaleb Price and Mike Germain were all included, along with juniors Caleb Dodson and Sam Schauerman. There were no league MVPs named this year because of the shortened season, but Forkner would have been considered a frontrunner for Defensive MVP if there had been. “I think without a doubt, he was the leader of our team,” Del Norte head coach Nick White said of Forkner, who started on the offensive line and at linebacker. “He’s the ultimate kid you want on your
team, and not just on the field. It’s his attitude, his leadership, his effort, his intelligence. “Tanner, for me, it’s not even close, he was by far the best defensive player in the league.” Price played in just three of the Warriors games this spring because of COVID restrictions, but continued to have an impact with the program, both as a receiver and at defensive end. “He was definitely getting into his groove as the year went on,” White said. “He has elite skills that a lot of kids don’t have.” Germain was playing for the first time since his freshman year, but settled right back in and had an immediate impact on the team. The senior standout starred at cornerback, while also seeing plenty of time at running back.
“The good part of it is that he stuck with it,” White said. “And he did whatever we asked him to do and whatever we needed him to do. He started at cornerback for us all year and he was a huge part of what we did this year.” The two junior all-league selections, meanwhile, are both expected to lead the way in the fall on a team that returns the majority of its starters. Schauerman was a force all spring along both lines, while Dodson stepped in to fill the void at running back when returning league offensive MVP, Levi Cox-Cooley, was lost for the season with an injury in the opening game. “He was our most consistent running back,” White said of Dodson, who scored five touchdowns in a season-ending win at St. Bernard’s. “He ran super hard.”
As for Schauerman, White says “he’s definitely right there with the best linemen in the league,” adding that he’s a team leader in the weight room. In addition to their five all-league selections, the Warriors had five honorable mentions as well, including Konnor Price, RJ Loftin, Giancarlo Desolenni, Jacob Dane and Trevor Freeman. All of them are expected back with the team for the fall season. Because of the shortened spring season, there were no league champions crowned and no playoffs. The Warriors closed out with a record of 2-2 and were 1-2 against Big 4 teams. Each of the nine teams in the H-DNL was awarded five all-league selections regardless of record.
Sharing the Frybread Love, A taste of Native comfort food
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill
Watching frybread go from a fist of pale dough pulled from a bucket to its final form, cumulus in shape and caramel in color, is like watching up-close magic. In a straw hat with a kitchen towel hanging from her shoulder, Lisa Sundberg pats, then pulls the dough with practiced hands, turning it to stretch under its own weight, pinching a few holes and laying it gently into the hot vegetable oil, where it bubbles and puffs, the oil shush-ing like distant applause. Frybread itself is a feat of metamorphosis. In Native communities across the U.S., frybread is a staple and a comfort food born from displacement and the destruction of traditional resources and foodways that were replaced by government commodity foods, dating back to the Navajo people’s “Long Walk” from their homelands to New Mexico. “The government made us make frybread,” says Kayla Maulson, Sundberg’s daughter and owner of the Frybread Love stand newly opened outside Cher-Ae Heights Casino. “We were only given commodities … my dad said he grew up on commodities; they were given powdered milk, sugar, flour, salt.” From those rations came what Sundberg calls “a delicacy,” a base for a hearty chili taco, a jam-schmeared treat crispier and chewier than doughnuts, a satisfying comfort eaten plain and warm. “It really is the shared experience across Indian country,” says Sundberg, who is Yurok. Maulson, who studied childhood development and American Indian education, as well as business at Humboldt State University, was looking for something she could do while staying home with her two kids after the pandemic hit. Finally, the urgings of old rugby teammates and coworkers who’d
been eating her family’s frybread for years got through and she started Frybread Love with help from her family, including her mother, her sister Aliesha Brown and cousin Emma Sundberg. By the time they packed up the tent the first night in front of the Cher-Ae Heights Casino, Maulson estimates they’d sold 200 orders. The next night it was triple that. Now, along with nights at the casino, she’s arranged a spot at the McKinleyville Farmers Market and is working on Arcata. The ingredient list is short: flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and water. Maulson says her first try at frybread was making it for her father when her mother was out of town and she was 8 or 9. She’d mistakenly added cups of sugar rather than teaspoons. “But I was so happy he still ate it.” She’s got it down now but her mother remains the go-to frybread person in the family. “I can finally accept that title,” says Sundberg. “I remember my first roll at fry bread … it was like the bottom of a shoe.” Technique, Sundberg says, is everything. Working in the gaming industry helping design cash access systems, she traveled to Native-owned casinos all over the country, sampling frybread and asking questions. Mixing, emulsifying and kneading methods were a little different everywhere, with some regions using yeast or shaping the dough differently. Sundberg and Maulson worked with Rhonda Beck of Beck’s Bakery to source freshly stone-milled flour with higher amounts of gluten and protein. When allowed to rise for two hours, the result is a delicate chewiness, crisp exterior and fluffy center. The printed menu has an Indian taco with chili, cheese, lettuce and tomato, and a couple of sweet options, Nutella and powdered sugar. Both curious first-timers and those who grew up eating it order the plain bread. “It’s
just a cherry on top having anything else with it,” says Maulson. She herself loves peanut butter and jelly. But the women are batting around all kinds of additions. Maulson, who’s also Ojibwe, notes that in the Midwest, frybread is sometimes served with wild rice and chicken soup. Her mother had served pork sliders with apple slaw on frybread and they’re hoping to work with local farmers on ingredients like blackberries and huckleberries. According to Maulson and Sundberg, frybread isn’t something you make unless you’re serving 15 people. At Maulson’s grandmother’s family gatherings, 100 pieces, enough for dinner and dessert, would be standard. But a big gathering isn’t hard to come by for her family. “We have Grandma next door, we have Uncle down the hill, so we’re making it for at least 20 people. … You want to share it all, you’ve got a big huge pot of chili you’re making it with. You bring all your cousins or your aunties over. ‘Come over for a barbecue, we’re making frybread.’” Maulson and Sundberg’s family is among those who
provide food for cultural events and ceremonies, too, like the annual Sumeg Brush Dance. There, community members share traditional foods like eel, acorn, salmon and frybread. They bring enough to feed the dancers, attendees and campers, sometimes up to 300 people. “I think that’s what everyone’s missed this past year,” says Maulson. “I really do miss the dances and staying up all night with the girls and hearing the songs.” They also cook for the recently revived girls’ Flower Dance coming-of-age ceremony, in which Maulson was Photos by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill among the first participants Top: Hot frybread with Nutella.

But the frybread is a taste of those days and dinners when people could come together to share traditions and meals that carry their shared history. “We love frybread,” says Sundberg. “We love feeding people and we need that love to spread, to use frybread as a seed of love to reach out and hopefully bring us together again.”
