Sutter Coast Hospital has erected two triage tents to create more space for COVID-19 patients. Director of Operations, Ellie Popadic said more than half of Sutter’s patients are COVID-positive.
COVID playing havoc on healthcare system Outpouring of support by community as hospital overwhelmed Knox Keranen The Triplicate
With local health care workers straining to keep up with an unprecedented surge in COVID-19 patients, some community members are doing their best to encourage them to keep going. According to data from the federal government, Del Norte County is now reporting more cases of COVID-19 per capita than any other county in California, and most places in the U.S. During the previous surge of COVID-19 in January, the active case total only reached as high as 165. However, as of Monday the active case count in Del Norte was 378, with 166 of those cases occurring over the weekend,
including 18 new cases among incarcerated individuals. Also on Monday, there were 21 county residents who were hospitalized due to the virus — another sharp increase from zero hospitalized cases during some parts of July. As of Tuesday, there were 14 deaths in the county linked to the virus, four of those deaths have come in the past week. About twenty people gathered on the front lawn outside Sutter Coast Hospital on Saturday to sing, dance and offer words of encouragement to the health care workers — both inside the hospital and in the nearby triage tent — which was recently redeployed in the parking lot to deal

Lynn Szabo, nurse, delivered a message from some of the health care workers inside the hospital at Saturday’s support event. “They’re asking for your kindness, they need your patience. This situation calls all of us to be the best people we can be. Please listen to them, and please vaccinate. It’s that simple.”
Long closures at Last Chance Grade coming to an end The Triplicate Long closures at Last Chance Grade will soon come to an end, according to a Tuesday press release from CalTrans. “We have met our goal and will soon put an end to four-hour closures at Last Chance Grade. Beginning Monday, August 30, you can expect up to 30-minute delays in the area at all hours,” according to the release. The small stretch of Highway 101 between Crescent City and
Klamath known as Last Chance Grade has been hampered with long work closures since a landslide swept over the road in February. In July, CalTrans extended daily closures from two to four hours in an effort to speed up the clean-up operation. “All excavation and slide material removal operations are scheduled to be completed by August 30. Crews will be wrapping up the installation of anchored mesh covering the slope next week and
throughout September. Depending on helicopter and pilot availability (as many are busy battling wildfires), we may require a couple of days with 1 to 2-hour closures in September to complete the remaining mesh installation. All future full closures will be planned around bus and commute schedules. Please stay tuned here for updates.” Until August 30, the closure schedule at Last Chance Grade will remain the same with four-
hour closures occurring MondayThursday from 8 a.m. to noon and 3 to 7 p.m. and on Fridays from 8 a.m. to noon. At all other times motorists should expect 30-minute delays. “One-way traffic control is expected to remain in effect at Last Chance Grade until the fall of 2022 as crews are also still completing adjacent retaining wall work. After that, we anticipate the area will see two-way traffic for the first time since 2014.”

Superintendent Jeff Harris was supportive of maintaining a school resource officer in schools within Crescent City, including Del Norte High School. “It’s not about a punitive police presence. It’s about developing relationships, it’s about positive interactions with, and it’s about letting students know that law enforcement is there to help.”

Teacher, principal, police officer. The Del Norte Unified School District will continue a partnership with the Crescent City Police Department to maintain a school resource officer position for the schools within city limits: Del Norte High School, Crescent Elk Middle School and Joe Hamilton Elementary. During a Monday city council
meeting, Police Chief Richard Griffin said school resource officers provide services such as crime prevention, substance abuse education and maintaining a safe environment in schools. The school board approved the continuation of the SRO contract at a meeting last week. During the meeting, Superintendent Jeff Harris said the district’s relationship with the current SRO — Yeng Lo — has been positive. “It’s not about a punitive
police presence. It’s about developing relationships, it’s about positive interactions with, and it’s about letting students know that law enforcement is there to help,” said Harris. “We’ve seen students open up to ask for help, both in the community as a whole, as well as in schools.” However, school resource officers are not as popular in other places. In the wake of the police shooting of George Floyd, many students throughout the country

called for the removal of police officers from their schools. In fact, student-led protests in Oakland led to the disintegration of an entire department, the Oakland School Police Department, which was a 53-member department solely dedicated to policing schools in Oakland. While the position is not new, the person filling the position will be, as Officer Lo will be stepping down from the role. Griffin said two officers have applied, and he plans to select one this week.
Schools grapple with COVID mandates District to use counseling over punishment to urge mask use Knox Keranen The Triplicate
With the first day of school less than two weeks away, the Del Norte Unified School District is grappling with two new state COVID-19 mandates targeting schools. In an August 11 announcement, Gov. Gavin Newsom said teachers and other employees will have to show proof of vaccination status or face weekly testing. The policy took effect the next day, and schools must be in full compliance by October 15. Newsom said the move is intended to ensure a safe return to in-person learning. “We think this is the right thing to do, and we think this is a sustainable way to keeping our schools open,” said Newsom. In late July, Newsom announced a different mandate requiring students and school workers to wear masks indoors during the upcoming school year, however, he left it up to individual districts to decide

with the surge. Their signs read, “Love & Support,” “Thank God for health care workers,” and “You are enough.” Denise Doyle-Shnacker, a leader with True North Organizing Network, helped organize the event. “We are hoping that people can bring a little bit of love and light to all health care workers, first responders, and everyone that’s having to deal with this, and to help the community recognize just saying on Facebook, ‘we love you and you’re our heroes’ isn’t going to be quite enough,” said Doyle-Shnacker. Due to the length of the pandemic, some members of the community may have become complacent about wearing a mask or social distancing, Doyle-Shnacker said. “I don’t think any of us recognized that it was this overwhelming because we’ve been doing this forever. We kind of assumed people were figuring it out, and that’s not necessarily the case,” she said. Since July 15, the county has racked up 719 new cases of COVID-19, which represents more than 30% of all cases since the begin-
ning of the pandemic. At Saturday’s event, Lynn Szabo, a physician assistant at Sutter Coast Hospital, relayed a message from the health care workers inside. “They’re asking for your kindness, they need your patience. This situation calls all of us to be the best people we can be. Please listen to them, and please vaccinate. It’s that simple,” said Szabo. So far, 41.6% of Del Norte residents are fully vaccinated and 6.9% are partially vaccinated. The county’s vaccination rate ranks 53rd among 58 counties in California. During a Monday Crescent City Council meeting, Ellie Popadic, director of operations with Sutter Health, said more than half of the patients at Sutter Coast Hospital are COVID-positive, most of whom are unvaccinated. Additionally, unvaccinated patients account for all of the patients who have had to be ventilated. “We cannot encourage the community enough to get vaccinated,” said Popadic.

how to enforce the rule. Last school year, a temporary state law allowed school districts to force students into distance learning, if they refused to wear a mask in the classroom. However, the rule recently expired. During a school board meeting last week, Superintendent Jeff Harris said it was rare for the district to force distance learning on students, most of the time, counseling them about the importance of masks was enough for them to put one on. “Even in situations where students were opposed to wearing a mask, after just talking with the child and

having those conversations, or maybe engaging with the parent, the child wore a mask,” he said. Harris recommended taking a similar route to mask-enforcement as last year, using counseling instead of punishment. Board member Charlaine Mazzei was also in favor of counseling over suspension or more severe punishments. She said the district’s COVID-19 guidelines for last year seemed to work. “As far as we know, there were no transmissions on school sites. I think we know that if we follow the rules, we can keep everybody safe,” said Mazzei. Board member Frank Magarino said he did not believe enforcement would be an issue for most students. Magarino expected they would be excited to return to in-person classes. “I think the last year and half, we’ve all been conditioned to wear a mask. So, I think the kids are going to be respectful. If we ask them to wear masks, they’ll do it. They’re happy to come back

to school; they don’t want to be locked down again,” said Magarino. During public comment, high school teacher Heather Young said most students did cooperate with mask wearing last year, but she did have some problems. “Did I have a ton of students who refused to wear masks last year? No. But, did I have one student who wore it underneath his nose every single time he was in class? Absolutely,” Young said. Young asked the board for clearer direction for teachers about how to address non-compliance. “How many times is it reasonable to remove educational time by me having to stop class and deal with that student who is not wearing their mask properly, or the student who refuses to?” Young asked. Board member Don McArthur also wondered how the district would handle those select few students to continue to refuse a mask. “I think there will inevitably be kids who — for

So, we need to craft a response,” said McArthur. Harris said the district could recommend a hybrid distance learning model to those students, but if they refuse, the student would be sent before the School Attendance Review Board, which is a group intended to help truant students and their parents or guardians solve school attendance and behavior problems through the use of available school and community resources. Another option, Harris said, could be reporting the non-compliant student to the county public health department, which could potentially fine the family. During the meeting, some parents brought up health concerns about children wearing masks for extended periods of time. While recognizing masks can help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, board member Angela Greenough shared some similar concerns. “We know that it can change a person’s breathing pattern — everyone breathes differently with a mask on — and we know that if it changes the breathing pattern of a child, it can have some significant effects on their speech, it can have significant effects on their taste, and on even just oxygen. These are things we know, and have to study more,” said Greenough. Greenough also called the state mandates unconstitutional. “I love again that the state says, ‘here you go, now it’s your problem local community,’” she added. Ultimately, the board decided to take a position of counseling before punishment, and to report continued non-compliance to SARB or county public health.

When wildfire keeps coming back By Char Miller Poor Butte County, California, is again on fire, its smoke choking the air of states miles away. Nestled in the Northern Sierras, Butte County is home to Chico State University, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., and portions of two national forests. Almost half its 220,000 residents live in metro Chico. Over the past four years, the county has now become known for the wildfires that keep coming back. This summer, the Dixie Fire torched more than 559,000 acres of pine, cedar and fir, 1,000 homes and pushed deep into neighboring Plumas County. Last year, the lightning-ignited Bear Fire merged with others to become the 318,000acre North Complex fire. It killed 16, injured 100 and burned up several towns. In 2018, the 150,000-acre Camp Fire proved a holocaust: 85 people died, the town of Paradise famously was engulfed in flames, and more than 18,000 structures burned. It was the deadliest and most destructive inferno in California history. Unfortunately, these almost-annual fires in Butte County have become part of the larger pattern across the 21st-century West. A new wrinkle is that these three fires even re-burned some acreage burned earlier. And it will happen again. That’s one of the takeaways from the recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, containing some of the most-dire warnings this UN organization has ever issued. By century’s end, the planet may have warmed by 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit. A hotter Earth will trigger “progressively serious, centuries’ long and, in some cases, irreversible consequences.” Wildland wildfire is a lead indicator. By now, every Westerner knows that our climate-driven drought, when combined with skyrocketing temperatures (Portland hit 113 degrees in June), has extended fire seasons and accelerated fire intensity. The UN’s Climate Change report adds that these factors may double the potential burnable areas. Butte County’s harrowing experience underscores this prediction. To date, the National Interagency Fire Center reports more than 39,590 fires nationally have burned 3.7 million acres. Of the 108 major fires burning in mid-August, Montana led the pack with 25, Idaho had 21, Oregon and Washington each had 14, and California had 11. The expansiveness of these wildfires is also evident in their smoke plumes. Particulate matter from the 410,000-acre Bootleg Fire, still chewing through Oregon’s Fremont-Winema National Forest,
first spilled into western Washington, Nevada, Idaho and Montana, producing some of the nation’s worst air quality index readings. It then wafted east to darken New England’s skies before drifting over Europe. Western fires have a very long reach. Their extent will soon be amplified. The remarkably hot and dry conditions, from the Rockies to the Cascades, sucked moisture out of the soil and desiccated chaparral and sage, pine, oak and fir. As in the past, California may suffer the most damage; traditionally its mega-blazes erupt between August and November. Yet that tradition has been badly singed: Significant fires now ignite every month of the year. Since January 2021, more than 6,272 fires have burned 917,000 acres in California. Climate change is causing these earlier burns, according to CAL FIRE, the state’s firefighting agency: “Warmer spring and summer temperatures, reduced snowpack, and earlier spring snowmelt create longer and more intense dry seasons that increase moisture stress on vegetation and make forests more susceptible to severe wildfire.” These factors have increased the Sierras’ fire season by 75 days. There are no easy fixes to this crisis exacerbated by human-caused climate change. But there are three interventions we can put into effect right now: • Accelerate the careful reinsertion of fire into the landscape, as Indigenous fire managers have long practiced. It brings significant cultural, ecological and forest benefits. • Radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions wherever possible. Over time, this should moderate some of their generative impact on Western wildfires. • Enact rigorous limitations on new housing in fire zones. States with sprawling foothill and canyon developments would do well to copy California, which this spring took part in a lawsuit challenging the construction of a massive subdivision. The houses are slated for a High Severity Fire Zone in frequently burned Lake County. Whatever the effectiveness of these and other strategies, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is clear about the consequences of continued inaction. The rising generation will shoulder the heavy costs resulting from our indecision. As the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel put it baldly, “Life on Earth can recover from a drastic climate shift by evolving into new species and creating new ecosystems. Humans cannot.” Char Miller is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.com, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren
COUPLE NEEDN’T AGREE ON AFTER-DEATH WISHES
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I disagree about our arrangements after we pass away. I would like to be cremated and scattered at a location with wonderful memories, like where we honeymooned. He wants a full funeral and to be buried in our hometown, 2 1/2 hours away from where we have been living for almost 20 years. I don’t have a lot of love for our hometown, and am estranged from my family. When I asked why he would want to be buried there, he joked that his kids won’t come to visit him wherever he is, so at least his high school buddies can come to the cemetery, drink a beer and toast him. I do not want to waver from being cremated. I feel the land is for the living. But I also worry it would be regarded as odd not to be in the same plot. Now I joke that I hope I die first because I don’t want to have to honor his wishes. It’s not a joking matter, though, and I’d appreciate advice about our disagreement. -STILL ALIVE IN MICHIGAN DEAR STILL ALIVE: Your last wishes are as important as your husband’s. Stop worrying about what “people” might say if you aren’t buried together. If you predecease him, make sure your last wishes are in writing and hope they will be respected. If he dies first, carry out his last wishes. If he believes his old high school buddies will make a pilgrimage to the cemetery each year to toast him, suggest he leave enough money to pay for the six-packs -- on an annual basis -and identify a cause to which it should be donated in the event they fail to show up. DEAR ABBY: For years I told my mom and sister that I did not want to
have “Happy Birthday” sung to me on MY day. Year after year, they ignored my feelings and did whatever the heck they wanted. This persisted from about my 20th birthday through my 40th. On my 40th birthday, I told them it was the last time I would tolerate my feelings being ignored. They did it again the next year, but when I asked for an apology, all I got from them were fake apologies and lame excuses. I will forever hate my day because it reminds me of how long my feelings were ignored and how my day was made all about their wishes. How can I love somebody who doesn’t care about my feelings? I am now nearing my 62nd birthday. They continue to bring up the subject of celebrations for all of our birthdays, and I continue to tell them I don’t “do” birthdays anymore. Their refusal to acknowledge my feelings causes me pain. What can I do? -- NO FANFARE IN THE MIDWEST DEAR NO FANFARE: Feeling as you do about your thickheaded relatives, see less of them. If they contact you to discuss birthday celebrations, remember you do not have to participate. In the future, if they suggest doing something for your next birthday, tell them you already have plans. (It’s the truth: You plan to avoid them.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Letters to the Editor Ban smoking from the world I think that second-hand smoke is horrible and people should close smoke shops. Second-hand smoke is bad for children because it can increase the risk of asthma attacks, ear infections and sudden infant death syndrome. It is important to ban smoking in buildings like apartments because smoking increases the risk of second-hand smoking and can kill smokers. I believe that to protect people from second-hand smoke, we should completely ban smoking from the world. -Benjamin W., age 11 No second-hand smoke I think second-hand smoke is really dangerous and it could kill you and make you really sick. It has nicotine and that is bad for kids. It’s important to have policies that ban smoking in multi-unit homes because the smoke can travel through the vent and then you can smell it in your apartment. To protect people from second-hand smoke we should tell them it is bad for them. -Brooklyn H., age 9 Overdoes rise as drugs get laced. As drugs become more dangerous with each passing year, they are increasingly being cut with very dangerous drugs that can cause quick overdoses, such as fentanyl. For other ingredients, suppliers will sometimes cut the drugs with whatever they can get their hands on to increase their profits. Last year, a batch of laced heroin contained Rizzy Powder, a substance used to preserve flowers. This powder caused severe skin necrosis in several users. This is another example of how dangerous it is for addicts in 2021, and further exemplifies the need for more drug education, awareness, and treatment. For more information on this case, go to https:// www.narconon-suncoast. org/blog/a-local-epidemicof-laced-heroin-causedskin-necrosis.html. If you are in need of a referral to a treatment center, call us at 877-841-5509. Shauna Krout Narconon Worse than smoking I think that second-hand smoke is even worse than smoking and people should stop smoking all together. Second-hand smoke is bad for kids because kids breathe in the smoke and the smoke can hurt our lungs. It’s important to have policies that ban smoking in multi-unit homes because the smoke can go out of the house or apartment and go into the next house.
I believe that to protect people from second-hand smoke, people should stop smoking. -Rexy N., age 10 Please get vaccinated Dear community, We are your physicians. You have honored us by entrusting your lives to us, as well as the lives of your loved ones. We are also your neighbors, your friends and your relatives. We share with you a deep love of this region and of our communities. Like you, we dream of a safe, COVID-free future. Please get vaccinated. We ask this from the bottom of our hearts. As your physicians, and as the people with whom you have worked, played, laughed and cried, we must admit we are tired. We will keep working, of course. But we are tired. We are tired of the suffering, pain and death that can be avoided by getting vaccinated. We have studied the data, and we have seen the benefits of vaccination with our own eyes. The vaccines are well tested, very safe and highly effective. Yes, masking must continue, especially with the highly contagious Delta variant. But nothing is as important as being vaccinated. You’ve trusted us with every other aspect of your health. Please trust us with this. We are not asking you to do anything that we have not already done. Please, for the sake of our community: the young, the old, and all the in-betweens, get vaccinated. G. Beth Abels, M.D. Igor Z. Abolnik, M.D. Christian D.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee.

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- 280-2832 for information

Each property will be sold to the highest bidder among the qualified bidders for not less than the minimum bid as shown on this notice. Due diligence research is incumbent on the bidder as all properties are sold as is. The winning bidder is legally obligated to purchase the property. Transfer taxes will be added to and collected with the purchase price. The right of redemption will cease on Friday, September 24, 2021 at 5:00 PM, and properties not redeemed will be offered for sale. If the parcel is not sold, the right of redemption will revive and continue up to the close of business on the last business day prior to the commencement of the next scheduled tax sale. The right of redemption will revive for any property purchased, if payment in full is not received by the close of business on the date specified by the tax collector. If the properties are sold, parties of interest as defined in California Revenue and Taxation Code section 4675, have a right to file a claim with the county for any excess proceeds from the sale. Excess proceeds are the amount of the highest bid in excess of the liens and costs of the sale that are required to be paid from the sale proceeds. Notice will be given to parties of interest, pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code section 3692(e), if excess proceeds result from the sale. Additional information may be obtained by visiting the Tax Collector’s website at www.co.del-norte.ca.us, by contacting the tax collector at 981 H Street, Suite 150, Crescent City, California or calling (707) 464-7283.

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: 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 800-280- 2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-873491-AB 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

New grant will help OSU researchers find ways to prevent injury in Dungeness crab industry DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE
By Molly Rosbach A team of Oregon State University researchers will use a new federal grant to study how different equipment configurations onboard crab vessels could help prevent injury to crabbers. The grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, totaling $895,000 over the next three years, will allow OSU professors Jay Kim and Laurel Kincl to build on existing research with the Dungeness crab fishing industry, where workers suffer high rates of both fatal and non-fatal injuries. The Dungeness crab fishery is an important economic driver throughout much of the West Coast of the United States. In Oregon, the purple-backed crustacean, prized for its deli-
cate, sweet flavor, is usually the most valuable single-species fishery, bringing in $33 million to $75 million a year, according to the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission. For their upcoming study, Kim and Kincl will look specifically at the configuration of the “block,” the mechanized winch that pulls up the line of crab pots out of the water and swings them into the boat; and the crab sorting table, where crabs are sorted after being brought up from the water. Some crab fishing vessels have blocks that swing outwards, requiring workers to reach farther over the water to reach the line when they’re hauling in the crab pots. This can not only lead to shoulder and back injuries, but can also increase the risk of someone falling overboard. There is no industry standard
for design specifications such as the height of the crab sorting table, so the researchers hope to learn if specific heights could help reduce musculoskeletal injuries to the lower back and shoulders. All of the configurations Kim and Kincl will be testing are ideas they have observed on different crab fishing boats during their previous and current NIOSH-funded studies, as individual vessels choose the setup that works best for them. “We’re taking the existing equipment that the fishermen use, and aim to provide them with relevant information so they can make informed decisions based on the impacts these different configurations can have,” said Kincl, an associate professor in OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences who studies occupational health and safety.
There are only around 3,200 workers in the Dungeness crab fleet in the Pacific Northwest. The most common injuries for crabbers affect the shoulders and arms: overexertion, sprains, strains, and traumatic injuries like breaks and fractures. Falls overboard and vessel disasters are rare, but due to the relatively small pool of workers, the fatality rate for Dungeness crab fishing is several times higher than the national rate for commercial fishing. Inspired by the insight of commercial fishermen in the research team’s previous projects, Kim and Kincl will more formally develop an expert pool of fishing stakeholders who can share real-life, firsthand knowledge of different boat designs and practices. “We invited the fishermen and the fabricators to the lab, and
not only do we plan to provide information to help reduce injuries, but they in turn contribute to how we conduct the studies,” said Kim, an assistant professor who directs OSU’s Occupational Ergonomics and Biomechanics lab. “It has actually helped us to lower the barriers between researchers and fishermen.” Once Kim and Kincl have determined which block and sorting table configurations are most beneficial, they’ll be able to work with their expert pool on how best to convey that information back to vessel owners, captains, fabricators and workers in the crab fishing industry. “Dungeness crab is the highest-commodity fishery in Oregon; you can make a good living off it,” Kincl said. “We want to keep them fishing.”
Coast Central Credit Union fall community investment program opens Coast Central Credit Union announced that the fall 2021 round of its Community Investment Program is now open. A total of $100,000 is available to support local organizations throughout its tri-county area. Grant amounts generally range from $3,000 to $25,000, and there are usually eight to 12 recipients. The giving program was created in 2008, and since then has awarded more than $1.5 million to 165 organizations throughout Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity counties. Recent grant recipients have included Seventh Generation Centro del Pueblo, For All Time
Cat Haven and Junction City Fire Protection District. CCCU typically contributes over $400,000 in annual community giving through its grant, sponsorship, and college scholarship programs, as well of thousands of volunteer hours throughout its three counties. Through banking with CCCU, individuals and businesses directly support these efforts. Applications and more information may be obtained online at coastccu. org under the community tab, or by contacting Coast Central’s VP of Marketing & Communications
Building a digital defense against fake COVID-19 vaccine ID cards. The Delta variant is causing many governments, schools and businesses to issue new mandates concerning vaccines, testing and mask-wearing. While we all learn to navigate this new world, one thing is clear: more and more of us will be asked to prove that we are vaccinated. For some people, their employer may require it. For others, it may be the neighborhood restaurant or bar owner who wants to know your status before you are allowed to enter. At this point, that vaccination card you received when you got your shots is like gold. It’s not surprising that scammers are trying to make a buck on the situation by creating fraudulent cards… but there is also concern that unvaccinated people are looking to skirt the rules with unauthorized fakes. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center – or IC3.gov – issued a warning about this problem earlier this year. With the virus resurgence, though, it is time for a refresher. If you did not receive the vaccine, do not buy fake vaccine cards, do not make your own vaccine cards and do not fill-in blank vaccination record cards with false information. By misrepresenting
yourself as vaccinated when entering schools, mass transit, workplaces, gyms or places of worship, you put yourself and others around you at risk of contracting COVID-19. Additionally, you need to know that the unauthorized use of a government agency’s seal is a violation of federal law. This includes the seals for Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because individuals may use fake vaccine cards to misrepresent themselves as vaccinated, we strongly encourage businesses, schools, places of worship and government agencies to follow CDC guidance when it comes to distancing, masking and vaccinations. If you believe are a victim of an online scam, you should report the incident to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov or call your FBI local office.
Colleen Toste at (707) 4458801, x 1309 or ctoste@ coastccu.org. The deadline is Tuesday, August 31, by 5 p.m., and applications must
be either mailed to Humboldt Area Foundation at 363 Indianola Road, Bayside CA 95524 or emailed to grants@hafoundation.
org. A committee comprised of credit union staff will review all completed applications and then make recommendations to Coast
Central’s Board of Directors, who ultimately approves the grants. The board’s decisions will be announced by the end of October.

Del Norte County is doing its share. Supervisor Valerie Starkey committed the community to submitting 1,000 ornaments, and she is working diligently to deliver on that promise. Starkey made arrangements to attend the Youth Fair on July 31 where she and her sister, Charlene Knowlton, made 100 (Dungeness) crab ornaments with the attendees of that event. Each ornament will be stamped with “Crescent City, CA” in order to draw attention to the unique species in our area. In the first week of August, Starkey took to summer school and with the help of the Principal Angie Marshall and Superinten-

dent Jeff Harris who helped coordinate the workshops. The students made over 100 reindeer, regular deer and 50 raccoons. Del Norte County is known for the large number of Raccoons and this will highlight some of the creatures we find living here in our everyday life. In addition to these events, there were plans to attend farmer’s markets, the fair, and other community wide events. However, due to the surge in COVID cases, those events were cancelled. Starkey is now creating “kits” to distribute to the Del Norte Child Care Council, where Executive Director Melodee Mitchell will work to co-

ordinate getting children’s handprints on wood rounds (also called cookies). “Contributing 1,000 ornaments to the People’s Tree has been a community wide effort and I am grateful for the work of Eric Wier, Councilman Beau Smith and Parks and Recreation Director Holly Wendt for their contribution of cutting the wood slices and helping figure out ways to dry them quickly. Whether we are coming together to provide a solution for a crisis in our community or coming up with ways to celebrate our beautiful, natural environment, our residents always show up. I love this County,” Starkey said. The ornaments are due by September 1 so there is a push to get these completed. However, if you did not get a chance to make an ornament, don’t worry. There will be other activities and ornament making sessions that will occur as we move into the next phase of the event, the tour of “Sugar Bear,” the 84-foot tree which was selected as the National Tree. The Tour of Sugar Bear will begin on October 29, right here in Del Norte County. Stay tuned for more information.
