four years on a month-to-month basis. Alas, Harbormaster Tim Petrick has presented a new lease to Hochberg but the Seafood restaurant owner states due to a computer glitch, he’s been unable to open and review the document.

Hochberg respectfully requested a copy of the physical lease be handed him, with no response from the harbor. Now, the deadline to acknowledge the new lease has passed. The Triplicate has learned the harbor is demanding a six percent override on all gross receipts and Hochberg must also provide $4 million in aggregate insurance, including liability and interior structure insurance.

Hochberg estimates the added insurance costs may exceed $35,000 per year. To date, Hochberg has been unable to secure a binding quote from any

Confusion abounds surrounding the uncertain future of Crescent Seafood. Kurt Hochberg is the owner of this iconic fish market and restaurant, the last remaining fresh fish market and restaurant situated on Marine Way, in the Crescent City Harbor.

Operating since 2006, Hochberg and his staff of between 11 and 15 have been providing delicious meals and fresh-caught fish in its less than prominent location on Marine Way. Since 2017, Crescent Seafood has added the restaurant to the fish market. Hochberg has requested a lease for four years, but the Harbor failed to provide the agreement until this past September. Crescent Seafood has been operating for the last

Del Norte Unified School District Trustee Michael Greer recently declared his candidacy for State Assembly, District 2. Greer made his announcement at the Republican Women’s monthly meeting, Thursday, November 2.

Green is a four-year resident of Del Norte County and a retired special education teacher, from Paradise. He relocated to Del Norte County following the devastating Paradise Camp fires.

Greer served as a trustee on the Paradise Union School District for 14 years and was the president of the district at the time of the fires.

Currently, Greer is the Region 1 director for the California County Boards of Education, presenting Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino and Lake counties. Greer is an active member of the Del Norte County Republican Party.

Greer states he’s running for Assembly to help bring common sense back to the state and the voters.

“I differ from Assemblyman (Jim) Wood on most policy issues because his so-called “solutions” and his voting patterns have forced Californians to pay some the highest gas, electrical power, medical and housing costs in the nation,” declares Greer.

The filing period at the clerk’s office begins Monday, November 13.

Incumbent Assemblymember Jim Wood, a Democrat, is seeking is sixth two-year term.

Members of the Assembly are termed out after 12 years in office.

The primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

released the following statement regarding his vote on the House resolution: “Antisemitism is a growing problem not just on liberal college campuses as the right-wing media constantly discusses, but in many places including rural and urban communities around the country and the extreme fringes of some conservative and liberal political groups. So is Islamophobia. Unfortu-

sion dam that funneled the river’s flows out of the canyon and into a tunnel system that sent the water to the Copco No. 2 powerhouse located downstream, essentially dewatering the 1.7-mile-long canyon.

Without the river’s presence in the canyon, trees grew in the riverbed which, when exposed to consistent river flows, would have died off creating a hazard for future recreationists.

These trees were removed in September in collaboration with area tribes.

“Seeing the Klamath River flow through this canyon after being diverted for nearly a century is inspiring,” said Laura Hazlett, COO of KRRC. “It makes me excited for everything else that is to

come with the removal of the other three dams.”

The remaining three dams, Copco No. 1, Iron Gate, and JC Boyle are slated for removal next year.

In January KRRC will implement drawdown, the slow draining of the reservoirs, which is expected to take 3-5 months, depending on the amount of water entering the system as a result of spring runoff.

Once drawdown is complete, restoration and deconstruction activities will begin in earnest. All three dams are expected to be completely removed

by November 2024, while restoration activities will continue for years to come to ensure restoration success.

nately, the GOP’s House 798 ignores these realities and suggests the problem is about liberal college campuses.

“Moreover, the resolution inaccurately describes several incidents as having been ignored or condoned by colleges (e.g., Brandeis) when in fact these colleges did seriously confront the incidents.

And it is silent on Islamophobia even as the Council on American Islamic

Relations reports a spike in problematic incidents.

The misleading characterizations and incomplete narrative in this resolution is why the progressive pro-Israel group J-St opposed it and why I voted against it, as well. Let me be clear: antisemitism has no place in America. It is a problem on many college campuses - but also in other parts of our country.

The same can and should be said of Islamophobia.”

insurance carrier and states passing the costs on to the consumer who support his business is unrealistic and highly inflationary.

Hochberg states he’s working seven days a week and losing money, barely treading water in keeping his doors open.

Reportedly, Hochberg received the new lease email communication two weeks ago from the harbor; the lease proposal was a mandate, no negotiation.

A September 28 email from Harbormaster Petrick stated terms of the new lease are not negotiable.

Hochberg, who currently pays $1,400 per month states, the two new demands are untenable and he is mulling over the future of his restaurant/fish market.

In the wake of the recent arbitration decision awarding Fashion Blacksmith a $1.9 million award for failing to dredge the inner boat basin, allowing vessels to be elevated and disembarked atop the Fashion pier for needed repairs, one can draw the conclusion the Harbor is seeking to replace lost revenue on the backs of its tenants’ base.

Harbormaster Petrick released the following statement: “The lease terms offered to Crescent Seafood are in line with other leases currently in the Harbor and

Crescent Seafood is facing the possibility of closing due to changes in the lease proposed by the Crescent City Harbor. the leases being offered to prospective tenants. The insurance requirements are not in response to Fashion Blacksmith but are considered market rate in Northern California and below market in California cities.”

Petrick denied he stated to owner Hochberg on

September 6, (The Harbor) will accept a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy from him (Hochberg), for the first lease term to be discussed upon renewal.“ Since that time, he has not responded to my inquiries about the lease nor the prior lease expired, September 1, stated Petrick.

Petrick acknowledges in 2019, the Harbor District amended the lease for Crescent Seafood to remove the revenue sharing position in an attempt to help the restaurant “get its feet under it and build a customer base.”

Petrick stated the removal of the six percent

revenue sharing was never intended to be permanent but to help a local businessman succeed.

Crescent Seafood’s tenancy may be jeopardized by the ability of the Harbor District and the fish market to come to terms.

continues to be challenged after the exit of Alex Lemus and the dissolution of Solar Power Partners ground lease of the Harbor’s two RV parks.

Commissioners continue to be tight-lipped on the future vision of the harbor and its functionability as a working harbor.

Humboldt County physician receives CMA’s 2023 Plessner Award Humboldt County internist Bruce Kessler, M.D., received the California Medical Association’s most prestigious award, the Frederick K.M. Plessner Memorial Award.

The award honors the California physician who best exemplifies the ethics and practice of a rural country practitioner.

Dr. Kessler first arrived in Humboldt County in 1978 and spent the next four decades providing a high standard of care and exhibiting qualities of excellence and kindness for his patients, many of whom are continually challenged by distance, terrain, poverty, and health literacy.

“Dr. Kessler deserves recognition for his excellence, compassion, leadership and commitment and for his ongoing joy and love of medical practice, which is rare in our current health care climate,” said Jennifer Heidmann, M.D., the medical director of Redwood Coast PACE. “He exemplifies what a doctor should be.”

Both during his time as a practicing physician and after his retirement in 2018, Dr. Kessler worked to create and expand medical programs and services for rural residents who often struggle with access to care.

“In the spirit of Dr.

“We are all the beneficiaries of his dedication to doing the right thing for every patient in the most competent and kindest way possible, his determination to leave the academic world and the prestige and opportunity it presented, to come to an area where he made the biggest difference. He has been my hero now for over 45 years, and he richly deserves the recognition [the Plessner award] represents.”

Ellen Mahoney, M.D. Plessner, whose legacy of compassion and innovation continues to inspire us, Dr. Kessler has demonstrated what it means to lead with wisdom, empathy, and boundless determination,” said CMA President Donaldo Hernandez, M.D. “Dr. Kessler has made a profound impact on, not only his patients, but his entire community.”

“I think the biggest challenge in medical care in our county currently is manpower shortages,” said Dr. Kessler. “We have long waiting lists for patients waiting to see specialists in any one of a number of specialties.”

In 2015, the CEOs of St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka and Open Door Clinic Community Health Centers, the local federally qualified health center, began discussing pooling

resources to create a family medicine residency program.

“I was asked to be part of the planning committee to plan for the residency program,” said Dr. Kessler.

“And it’s been my privilege for the last eight years to work on the planning stage of the residency, and then for the last five years – when we’ve had our first, second, and finally third class of residents here – to be involved in teaching the residents.”

Dr. Kessler was also a key figure in bringing cancer care access to a region long deprived of it. He was part of a group of medical community leaders that applied for a $900,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute that led to the establishment of a radiation oncology program, a home-

Steven Anderson December 4, 1948 — October 30, 2023

Steve Anderson was born in Palo Alto, California.

At the age of ten, he began learning to play the trumpet.

He became a fine professional musician and teacher. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from San Jose State University. Steve studied and performed in England, Chicago, and Tennessee, before returning to the Bay Area, CA, He obtained his teaching credential and was an amazing band director, inspiring young people from elementary school to college level.

Steve met his life-long mate of 42 years, Kristina Anderson, a professional violinist, in 1982, and they married in 1983, and welcomed their son, Anthony in 1985.

Anthony Ant is a professional musician in the S.F. Bay Area.

Steve performed in many professional musical organizations, including West Bay Opera (Palo Alto, CA), San Jose Symphony Midsummer Mozart, (San Francisco, CA), Peter Britt Festival (Jacksonville, OR), and the San Francisco Opera.

He volunteered to play in many community orchestras, including Diablo Symphony (Walnut Creek, CA), Livermore Symphony, and the Wild Rivers Symphony (Crescent City, CA) (Formerly Curry Del Norte Orchestra).

Steve and his wife, Tina, loved the Pacific Northwest. They spent as much time enjoying their second home as possible. They helped found the Curry Del Norte Orchestra (now Wild Rivers Symphony) in 1992. They moved permanently to Crescent City in their favorite part of the world, in 2020.

Steve developed a love of Nature as a boy. His family would camp in the summer at Tuolumne Meadows, in Yosemite National Park. Steve passed his love of nature to his son, Anthony, and together they hiked miles of beaches and forest.

Steve loved animals too, and he and his wife had been volunteers at the Marine Mammal Center in Crescent City. Steve’s animal family over his lifetime included raising racing pigeons as a boy, adopting a wild rescue baby pigeon with his son, and his current pets, Domi (cat) and Paco (dog) with his wife.

Steve is survived by his wife, Kristina Anderson, his son, Anthony Anderson, his brothers Dave Anderson, Mike Anderson, and Jack Anderson.

“He has been my hero now for over 45 years, and he richly deserves the recognition [the Plessner award] represents.”

Kessler also serves on the board of the Humboldt Senior Resource Center, a nonprofit that provides services, information, education and recreation for seniors, families and

caregivers in Humboldt County; and is one of the founders of the Humboldt Bay Mycological Society, through which he has given lectures and led field trips discussing toxic mushrooms.

Kessler is a native of New York and a graduate of Tufts University and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He served his medical residency in internal medicine at Stanford University Hospital.

“I wanted something more hands-on with people,” Dr. Kessler said of his decision to pursue medicine instead of science after college. “I can’t now have imagined a life better spent.”

NCCRP prepares to release three more condors

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Young birds will join eight freeflying birds in Yurok territory

The Northern California Condor Restoration Program (NCCRP), a partnership between the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks, is preparing to release three more prey-go-neesh (California condors) into Yurok ancestral territory in the very near future.

All three birds are healthy and behaving in a way that indicates they are ready for the wild. The condors are set to all be released together as early as late next week. The timing of the release is contingent upon multiple factors, the biggest being weather.

There must be at least a few sunny days in a row to give the birds good visibility and flight conditions when they depart the condor release and management facility.

Additionally, previously released prey-go-neesh must be present at the management facility before the release procedure is initiated.

The presence of additional prey-go-neesh will ensure the new birds are as calm as possible during their first steps into the natural world.

An announcement will be made when the release date is finalized. The release can be viewed live here: https:// www.yuroktribe.org/yurokcondor-live-feed “We couldn’t be more excited to release three more condors,” said Yurok Wildlife Department Director Tiana Williams-Claussen. “I would like to thank the Los Angeles Zoo as well as all of our partners, funders, and donors for supporting the reintroduction of prey-go-neesh.

Soon, 11 prey-go-neesh will soar over our ancestral homeland.”

On October 9th, the NCCRP received the three young condors from the Los Angeles Zoo. The newcomers are two females and one male, including 1140, wing tag B0 (female); 1148, wing tag B1(male); and 1151, wing tag B2 (female). Hatched and reared at the Los Angeles Zoo, the three prey-go-neesh are approximately a year and a half old. While in the care of the zoo, the birds were vaccinated for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

Condors B0 (female) and B2 (female), studbook designations 1140 and 1151, will soon be released into Yurok ancestral territory. Below, condor B0 (female), studbook number 1140, acclimates in the NCCRP’s condor release and management facility.

(HPAI). They will be the first condors vaccinated for HPAI to be released into the wild.

Condors are extremely social creatures. Upon release, NCCRP biologists expect the eight free-flying birds to assist the new group in getting acclimated to a new environment.

As the new condors have waited in the release and management facility, acclimating to their new home, they have been regularly visited by free-flying birds, laying the groundwork for their integration into the population.

Last year, the NCCRP released the first eight condors to fly over far Northern California in more than a century. Overall, the birds are faring very well in their new environment. NCCRP biologists and technicians regularly observe the birds exhibiting positive behaviors, such as feeding, soaring, and resting in safe roosts. They have explored much of Yurok ancestral territory in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, including trips as far south as Hyampom and as far north as the Notchko area on the Yurok Reservation. To date, their furthest trip from the NCCRP’s condor release and management facility was 52 miles.

While the NCCRP’s condor biologists are satisfied with the condors’ progress

toward becoming self-sufficient, there has been one major setback.

Last month, Yurok condor A6 (Me-new-kwek’, “I am bashful or shy”), along with several other condors in the new population, consumed part of a poacher-killed elk within Bald Hills in Redwood National Park and the carrion was most likely tainted with lead. Five out of eight birds were found to have the toxin in their blood. The NCCRP believes the lead came from the illegally killed elk because of the timing, on-the-ground observations, and other strong evidence.

Of the five birds, Menew-kwek’, wing tag A6, was the only one whose lead level came back higher than the identified treatment threshold, warranting immediate medical intervention for lead poisoning, the leading cause of death among condors. Thankfully, NCCRP and Sequoia Park Zoo staff were able to successfully treat Me-newkwek’.

He is doing well and currently serving as a mentor for the newly arrived birds. It is planned for him to be re-released with the new cohort when they are released.

The Tribe is also closely involved in the ongoing removal of the four Klamath dams, which represents the largest salmon habitat restoration project in US history. The removal of the dams will also benefit many other fish and wildlife species, including condors.

It is also part of a larger effort to rewild the temperate rainforest ecosystem in Yurok ancestral territory on the far Northern California coast.

Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Offshore wind is an important part of that equation,” said Rep. Huffman. “My district in Northern California has some of the best areas available to help meet the administration’s offshore wind energy goals, and I’m glad I could help secure this grant to support the development of one of the first offshore wind projects on the West Coast.”

“The district is grateful for all the support we have received from our state and federal partners,” said Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation, and Conservation Commission President Greg Dale. “As this project moves forward, the district is committed to working with the community, fishermen, and tribes to minimize the impacts and maximize the local benefits.”

Funding for this project comes from the FY2023 Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) and was disbursed by the Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration. In Fiscal Year 2023, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) appropriated $450 million to the PIDP. An additional $212,203,512 was made available to the program under the FY2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, resulting in a total of $662,203,512 in FY 2023 PIDP grant funding.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission moves into new office On Friday, October 20, the Humboldt - Del Norte Film Commission held a ribbon cutting to celebrate their new office space, at 235 F Street in Old Town Eureka, and a soft opening of their Museum of Cinema. For over 100 years, filmmaking has made an impact on our Redwood Coast and the opening of the Museum is meant to commemorate that. From the 1916 Lass of the Lumberlands that featured Helen Holmes, who also performed her own stunts and more for the serial, to Bird Box, featuring Sandra Bullock blind folded on the Smith River, Humboldt and Del Norte has been the backdrop of many mediums. Likely the most notable film, Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi, filmed in both Counties.

The Redwood Coast Museum of Cinema features props, photos, articles, and more that will give a visual timeline of all the activity related to movies, TV, commercials, documentaries, print, and more. The museum is currently open by appointment (class tours, small groups, etc) and special events (Friday Night Market, Arts Alive, etc.). Regular museum hours open to the general public are planned for the start of the new year.

The museum also showcases both the newly launched Forest Moon

Festival and the Map of the Movies. With the success of the inaugural Forest Moon Festival event, the film commission also released updates for the 2024 festivities including a new logo and teased at more new things to come that will make this next year better than the last.

To help celebrate, a local costumer from the Mando

Mercs was in attendance.

The Forest Moon Festival will continue to span across the two counties.

The community and local businesses are invited to theme-out in Star Wars fashion and offer activities for the whole family to enjoy. For

more information, visit forestmoonfestival.org.

Map of the Movies will be receiving some add-ons as well as some special features on the soon to be updated app that is a self-guided tour of film sites in the redwood region.

The app also lets you find

nearby dining, along with accommodations, near your favorite film sites. To download the app, visit hdnfc.org/mapofthemovies.

The Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission is the liaison between productions and the area they represent. They are

required to be a free service to productions. They focus on marketing the redwood coast to the film world, are the boots on the ground while they are here, and encourage film tourism.

Dam removals, restoration project on Klamath River expected to help salmon

The world’s largest dam removal and restoration project currently underway on the Klamath River in Oregon and California will aid salmon populations that have been devastated by disease and other factors.

However, it will not fully alleviate challenges faced by the species, a team of researchers conclude in a just-published paper.

“The dam removals will likely go a long way towards restoring balance in the river,” said Sascha Hallett, a fish parasitologist at Oregon State University who has studied the river for two decades. “Certainly under certain circumstances there are going to be disease outbreaks, like with people and pathogens.

But we envision that they are not going to be as large and not going to be as frequent as we have observed in the past.”

Michael Belchik, a fisheries biologist with the Yurok Tribe in California and co-author of the paper, said he thinks there will be noticeable gains for fish shortly after the dams are removed.

“I think you are going to see fish accessing new habitat right away, and that is going to be a cause for celebration,” said Belchik, who has worked for the Tribe since 1995.

In the paper, published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Hallett and a team of researchers from Oregon State, Tribes in Oregon and California, and state and federal agencies outlined their predictions

for salmon disease risk in the Klamath River following the removal of four hydroelectric dams. They also provide post-dam removal research and monitoring recommendations and insights to aid habitat restoration efforts.

One of the four dams was removed earlier this year, and the other three are slated to be taken down in early 2024. Removal of the dams will result in restoration of habitat originally altered more than 100 years ago with construction of the first dam.

The Klamath River runs more than 250 miles from Oregon’s high desert interior through the Cascade Mountains before entering the Pacific Ocean in northern California. It has broad ecological, cultural, recreational and economic relevance. The river was once the third largest salmon-producing river on the West Coast. Those salmon served as the foundation of life and culture for Tribes living along the river.

Construction of the dams in the early-to-mid20th century blocked access for salmon and other fish species to hundreds of miles of habitat and created barriers that led to increases in pathogens deadly to the fish.

This dynamic received widespread attention in 2002 when there was a die-off of tens of thousands of chinook salmon in the Klamath River. Shortly after this event, Jerri Bartholomew, an Oregon State microbiologist who works with Hallett, started studying the Klamath Riv-

er salmon.

Salmon health is impacted by many factors, including stream-flow levels, water temperature and pathogens.

Barthlomew and her colleagues focus on the pathogens.

They have spent the past 20 years unraveling how a parasite known as Ceratonova shasta works in conjunction with an aquatic worm host, Manayunkia occidentalis, which is smaller than an eyelash, to create conditions in the Klamath River that are deadly to salmon.

In the paper, researchers say that increased habitat availability and longer fish migration routes created by dam removals will increase duration of pathogen exposure.

However, restoration of the river’s natural flow will decrease fish disease risk by essentially flushing out the pathogens and unclogging a pathogen hot spot that has formed below the Iron Gate Dam, about five miles south of the California-Oregon border just east of Interstate 5. The dam is slated for removal in early 2024.

“There’s no question in my mind just the removal of these four dams will go a long way to knocking back that current infection zone by shifting things in terms of time and space where the hosts and parasites overlap,” said Julie Alexander, an aquatic ecologist who works with Hallett and Barthlomew.

She also cautioned that restoration efforts that will occur after dam removal need to be conducted thoughtfully.

“You don’t want to go and restore a section of river to encourage salmon to spawn somewhere we know there are worms because then you are going to create a hot spot,” Alexander said.

In addition to co-authors from the Yurok Tribe, authors of the paper include scientists at the Hoopa, Klamath and Karuk Tribes, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The ongoing research

by Oregon State and its partners has been supported by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. That includes a $4.5 million award earlier this year.

“Without this funding and without these groups contributing different pieces of the datasets, we would not have been poised at this time to capture that and be able to make predictions,” Hallett said. “Those two things are really important going forward to be able to inform short-term and long-term management actions as well as being able to inform ‘Was this major environmental change event successful?’”

T.S. No. 23004776-1 CA APN: 122-260-006-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 09/12/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a 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 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: SHARON A. WOLD, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust Recorded on 10/20/2006, as Instrument No. 20067105 of Official Records of Del Norte County, California; Date of Sale: 11/29/2023 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the steps of the County Recorders office, 981 H St. Crescent City, CA 95531 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $43,873.58 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 211 SALMON BERRY CTCRESCENT CITY, CA 95531-5114 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. A.P.N #.: 122-260-006-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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.

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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 23004776-1 CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 23004776-1 CA 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.

ment period, Councilor Inscore stated he needed to step back and reevaluate his role in crafting the letter of support for the Jewish state. Though Inscore publicly repudiated the Hamas genocide, he equated similar instances of native tribes’ genocides during America’s history. He weighed in with his comments, “maybe this is not the right time to send this letter.” He continued, “30 days or even two weeks ago, conditions were different. Sometimes I have to step back, think about things and listen to others on an issue I may not fully understand.”

Councilor Greenough, who attended the meeting via Zoom, was passionate and articulate in his comments rebuking “unadulterated Hamas evil. He continued, “ don’t know who we are as a people if we can’t stand up and condemn these acts of terror on innocent people.”

When comments were completed, Mayor Isaiah Wright sensed there would not be a consensus on sending the letter and stated so; nonetheless Greenough

made the motion to sign and send the letter. There was no second to the motion. Greenough expressed his disdain, uttering “despicable.”

Free hunting days offer Californians opportunity to connect with the hunting experience It’s the thrill of seeing a high-octane pointing dog slam to a standstill. It’s having a front-row seat as a wetland comes to life at dawn. It’s the chaos of a valley quail covey erupting from cover; the heart-pounding excitement of a tom turkey somewhere in the distance answering your call. It’s the chance to share with friends and family a wild game meal they can’t get in any grocery store, farmer’s market or five-star restaurant.

Californians will have two ideal opportunities to acquaint themselves with the hunting experience during California’s Free Hunting Days. Stemming from a revised California law newly implemented this year, each year the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director will designate two Free Hunting Days. In this license year, they are Nov. 25, 2023, and April 13, 2024.

On these days, eligible California residents may hunt without purchasing a California hunting license, provided other requirements are met.

Those requirements include proof of completion of a hunter education course, possession of a valid Free Hunt Days Registration, and any required tags, federal entitlements, and entry permits.

All hunting participants in Free

Hunting Days must be accompanied by a mentor at least 21 years of age who holds a valid California hunting license.

“The dates were chosen carefully and intentionally to provide the widest variety of hunting opportunities and options for anyone interested in hunting a try,” said Taylor Williams, the Recruit, Retain, Reactivate (R3) Manager at CDFW. “On Nov. 25, waterfowl seasons and many upland game seasons, from rabbit and squirrel to dove, pheasant, quail and fall wild turkey, will be open in various zones throughout the state,” Williams said. “It’s also a holiday weekend when friends and family get together so it can be a great time to take out a friend or relative who has been interested in giving hunting a try.”

California’s second Free Hunting Day will be April 13, 2024. This date was chosen with wild pig and wild turkey in mind, two popular species to hunt in the spring.

“We encourage California residents to try Free Hunting Days and discover their own connection to nature and wild food in our state,” Williams said. “Free Hunting Days provide opportunities for people interested in hunting to finally give it a try at little cost, and

experienced hunters the chance to mentor someone new.”

With the possession of a valid Free Hunt Day Registration, residents wishing to hunt on the two designated days are not required to possess a California Hunting License, a California Duck Validation or a California Upland Validation. All hunting regulations, including bag limits, gear restrictions and shooting times remain in effect for Free Hunting Days. Participants must also possess any additional requirements, including passes for state-operated wildlife areas, tags and federal entitlements such as a Federal Duck Stamp for those hunting waterfowl who are 16 and older.

Those choosing to hunt wild pigs will need to purchase and possess a Wild Pig Tag. More information is available at CDFW’s Free Hunting Days webpage. The Free Hunting Days Registration is available at no cost at CDFW license sales offices, from license agents and through CDFW’s Online License Sales and Services website. Hunting seasons, regulations, places to hunt and other resources are available at CDFW’s Hunting in California webpage. For additional information on participants hoping to get started hunting this season, visit CDFW’s R3 webpage.

Proposed City Letter of Support for Israel

Consulate General of Israel to the Pacific Northwest 456 Montgomery St. #2100 San Francisco, CA. 94104 Honorable Ambassador Marco Sermoneta, It has been said that silence in the face of great evil is evil.

It is with that spirit we send this letter. We, along with the world, were shocked and saddened by the barbaric terrorist act of October 7, 2023. People who were just trying to live their lives in peace were brutally attacked without provocation.

This attack was not only on the people of Israel but on the hearts and spirit of the Jewish people.

Premeditated acts of murder, rape and kidnapping directed at innocent people should be forcefully condemned.

Therefore, we, the City Council of the City of Crescent City do adamantly condemn these acts by the terrorist organization Hamas. We send our condolences and our prayers to those affected by these atrocities and pray for the safe return of those who were kidnapped. No person should have to fear perpetual acts of violence just because of who they are.

We hope for a quick resolution to the current conflict, but not at the expense of Israel’s safety and security. Please express our support to the people of Israel along with our hope that Israel will be blessed with future peace and prosperity.

Respectfully, [Signature here]

Padilla announces nearly $75 million for California ports Last week, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla announced $74.5 million in grant funding from the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration to decarbonize, upgrade, and rehabilitate key ports along California’s coast.

The grants come as a part of the Port Infrastructure Development Program and are made possible by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. California’s ports play an important role in the nation’s economy, moving hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of trade annually. These ports process about 40 percent of all containerized imports and 30 percent of all exports in the United States. The announcement includes funding for cleaner, energy efficient ports.

“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver for Californians by funding key projects across the state to strengthen our ports,” said Senator Padilla. “This funding will boost clean shipping efforts, rehabilitate degraded port infrastructure, and streamline daily operations up and down the California coast, making our ports more efficient for workers and safer for neighboring communities.”

“I’d like to thank our federal partners for this strategic investment in expanding our on-dock rail capabilities, which will strengthen our position as the Port of Choice and alleviate truck traffic on local roads,” said Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero. “This grant is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our Port teammates and their continued contributions to successfully making us a leading gateway for trans-Pacific trade.”

“I am thrilled to see our coastal communities throughout California working together to support offshore wind development,” said Humboldt Bay Harbor District Board Vice President Stephen Kullmann. “Not only are we taking meaningful steps to address the climate crisis, but we are also striving to achieve the highest standard of responsible development while bringing real benefits to our local communities.”

Last month, Senator Padilla urged the Environmental Protection Agency authorize the California Air Resources Board’s request for its Ocean-going Vessels At-Berth Regulation to reduce pollution originating from shipping and ports.

Questions regarding county finances 1. Why is there a budgeted net loss that is $8,041,224 greater than actual net loss of $250,197?

2. Why are there several, both Revenue & Expense, items with actuals but no budget, some of which are from prior year (PY)?

3. Why was there $750,000 budgeted for Contingency but never used?

4. Where is the Drug Bust money of $375,000 reported in the newspaper?

5. Why are there $2,484,124 in budgeted Fund Transfers never accomplished?

6. Why are there $34,367,843 listed as Department Allotment expenses without any actuals, these are not all but the major Non-General Fund departments with an entry for Department Allotment? Shouldn’t they be a balance sheet item in Non-General Fund?

7. What type of Unit of Measure (statistic) does each department have?

8. Why aren’t the Units of Measure (statistics) included with the financials and the budget?

9. Why isn’t there a Budget Committee made up of the Public to provide transparency?

These are just a few of several questions related to the Fiduciary Responsibility of the Board of Supervisors.

These are the most glaring, the remainder are department specific of which there are many more.

I have attempted to speak with the Auditor/Controller’s office regarding these questions to no avail.

PJ Estlund Crescent City

I support Barbara Lee “If the U.S. can fund an $886 billion defense budget, we can afford Medicare for All. If the U.S. can fund an $886 billion defense budget, we can afford the Green New Deal. If the U.S. can fund an $886 billion defense budget, we can afford to cancel student loan debt.”

— Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) On March 5, 2024 (or before) be sure to vote for the Bay Area’s Barbara Lee for the U.S. Senate in California’s Presidential Primary Election. Should she win, Barbara Lee would become the only elected African-American woman in the U.S. Senate. Barbara Lee’s Democratic Senate Primary opponents - Southern California Congresspersons Adam Schiff and Katie Porter - are both considerably more conservative and pro-corporate than proud progressive stalwart Barbara Lee (D-CA).

Barbara Lee has been proven correct time and again for the many politically difficult decisions that Representative Lee has made over her past quarter-century in Congress, including Democrat Barbara Lee having courageously cast the only vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 14, 2001 against the Republican Bush-Cheney regime’s reckless carte blanche Authorization for the Use of Military Force that created the catastrophic, full-blown failure known as “The War On Terror”.

Barbara Lee (D-CA) will continue to speak truth to power as a U.S. Senator and will continue to oppose pointless, counterproductive genocidal wars. Truth is exactly what we Californians want and need from our elected Democratic leaders in perilous times such as these with the U.S. being pressured and propagandized into once again sacrificing the lives of thousands of American soldiers upon the altar of plentiful profits for the military-industrial complex in yet another murderous military debacle in the Middle East. 10/7 is a big lie, just like 9/11 was. Hell no, we won’t go!

IN MY VIEW

An eye for an eye

It has been over a month since the Hamas terrorists attacked Israel and captured over 200 hostages.

It is justified that people should condemn this attack on Israel. It is also reasonable to have concerns about the rising death toll on Palestinian civilians.

Most people living in Gaza are not terrorists, yet many innocent people are being killed in Israel’s retaliatory response to Hamas. This will lead the Palestinian people to call for revenge and the cycle of violence will continue.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”

Crescent City On November 6, the Crescent City Council considered approving a letter in support of Israel stating in part, “We adamantly condemn these acts committed by the terrorist organization Hamas. We send our condolences and our prayers to those affected by these atrocities and pray for the safe return of those that were kidnapped.

No person should have to fear perpetual acts of violence just because of who they are.”

It is unusual for a local agency to weigh in on an international issue and I wondered what the people of Crescent City would think of this. I attended this meeting to see what would happen.

People Spoke There were four people who vehemently expressed their opposition to approving a letter offering blanket support for Israel. They mentioned allegations of war crimes and genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli Defense Forces.

There were also two Jewish Americans that had very different opinions.

The first one explained that she supported Israel but is not happy with the Israeli government right now. She Jake Pickering did not think it was the Eureka right time for sending this

letter but asked us to “Pray for Peace.”

The second Jewish person that testified was Triplicate reporter Roger Gitlin. After disclosing that he is writing a story, he stated that he supported sending this letter. He expressed rational fears of a repeat of the holocaust.

His support for Israel was unequivocal.

Council Debate Councilmember Jason Greenough made an impassioned speech in support of approving this letter. He argued that this is not political. He reiterated that silence in the face of great evil is evil. Greenough dismissed the concerns about civilian Palestinian casualties, asserting that their blood is on Hamas’ hands.

Councilmember Inscore responded that this is political and “not where we should be.” Though he helped to draft the letter, he observed that things looked very different two weeks ago. He recommended that they step back and take a breath.

Greenough made a motion to approve the letter. The motion died for lack of a second.

The other City Councilmembers were largely silent on this issue, but they were clearly uncomfortable with the conflict.

It should not be surprising that if a divisive issue is brought up, there will be division. Every other part of the meeting was productive. This one issue introduced enmity into an otherwise cordial City Council.

Collateral Damage I have mixed feelings on the intent of the City’s letter. It is appropriate to condemn a terrorist attack and express condolences for the 1400 Israelis who were killed by Hamas on October 7. But it is also right to express concern for the 10,000 Palestinians, including 4000 children that have been killed since then.

In every war there is collateral damage. Generally, this used as a euphemism for the unintended civilian death toll that occurs as a side effect of war. When you consider the size of the Gaza Strip it is hard to imagine a strategy that could avoid killing civilians. Gaza is 25 miles long and 3.7 to 7.5 miles wide. No place is safe.

Imagine what it would be like if we were surrounded and prevented from leaving the coastal plain between Crescent City and Brookings and every day missiles are fired at us from Hiouchi. Where could you go?

Hate Crimes Around the world people are protesting the widespread killing of innocent civilians. In the United States hate crimes have increased since the October 7 attack. There have been a growing number of incidents of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. All elected officials should be cautious not to inflame this situation.

The United States is treading a fine line. While we advocate for humanitarian assistance, we are also considering $14 billion in military aid. We are providing the weapons that are killing these civilians. We also are risking an expansion of war to other parts of the Middle East.

This is a very treacherous diplomatic balancing act. The underlying issues and long history of conflict in the Middle East make this very difficult to resolve. We can ask for a humanitarian pause, but Israel does not have to listen. Israel has pledged to eliminate Hamas, but at what cost to the people of Gaza?

Democratic Platform Every time the California Democratic Party Platform is updated, the most heated issue is the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Because there are Democrats that represent perspectives

Kevin Hendrick from both sides of this issue, the policy statements have been carefully crafted to represent the nuances of this controversy.

The following two excerpts from the Democratic Party Platform provide a balanced policy guidance: “Continue to work toward a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict directly negotiated by the parties that guarantees equality, security and democracy for all; recognizes Israel’s future as a secure and democratic Jewish state with recognized borders; and provides Palestinians with independence, sovereignty, and dignity.”

“Recognize that Israelis and Palestinians deserve security, recognition, and a normal life free from terror and incitement and respectively should be free to govern themselves, each in their own viable states in peace and with dignity.”

Good Intentions My takeaway after witnessing this attempt by a local agency to engage in international politics is that it is a distraction from the practical business of the City Council.

Even if everyone approaches the debate with good intentions, divisive issues inevitably sow division.

Rather than choosing sides in a foreign war, we should advocate for a peaceful coexistence at home and abroad.

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Farewell to two radicals with a common goal – changing the West

By ERNIE ATENCIO The West lost two largerthan-life conservationists this year, and while I considered both friends, they couldn’t have been more different. Yet both were radical in their own ways.

One was ranching reformer Sid Goodloe, the other the activist and “monkey-wrencher” Dave Foreman. Each changed the way we think about this region.

Goodloe, who was almost 93 when he died, bought a badly abused ranch in El Capitan, New Mexico, in 1956. Restoring it to health became a project that lasted nearly 7 decades.

Taking his young family to Africa to learn traditional livestock techniques set him on a new land management path. There he met Allan Savory who showed him the wisdom of short-duration, rotational grazing.

Once home, Goodloe got Savory invited to range

management schools to teach the rest of the West how to restore abused land.

He also realized something surprising: His ranch had once been a savannah grassland.

Goodloe practiced “restorative ranching” long before there was such a term.

He won a Leopold Conservation Award for using the chainsaw and prescribed fire as some of his tools to eliminate invasive pinyons and junipers.

Where eroded arroyos once ravaged his ranch with floods every time it rained,

he filled in gullies to bring back flowing streams. His work restored habitat for endangered species and game animals, while at the same time, he made a living from his cow-calf operation.

Ignoring the accusations from some in the ranching community that land trusts and conservation easements were a sneaky, backdoor con to steal private property rights, Goodloe founded the Southern Rockies Agricultural Land Trust. He understood that land trusts were tools for like-minded ranchers to save working ranches from fragmentation and development.

While cowboy hats were de rigueur at Goodloe’s memorial, tie-dyed shirts were the choice at Foreman’s gathering, held in a national park campground and attended by environmentalists from all over the region.

As the Arizona Daily Star’s Tony Davis put it, Foreman, a friend of the

writer and activist Ed Abbey, was a “redneck wilderness advocate” who believed in “direct action.”

That meant he went beyond civil disobedience to underground activities such as pouring sand into the gas tanks of bulldozers used by loggers.

Co-founder of the radical group Earth First!, Foreman, who died at 75, was eventually busted by the FBI. What many Westerners will never forget was his unfurling a banner painted to look like a giant crack across the face of Glen Canyon Dam in 1981 to protest its existence.

Over the last decade, I got to know Foreman through wilderness work in New Mexico. As a local Chicano committed to social justice, I didn’t expect to like him based on some of his more extreme views, particularly around immigration policy and surging populations of brown people around the world. I

was surprised to find him a warm and big-hearted person with an infectious sense of humor.

In his later years, I saw a subtle shift as he came to understand the importance of diverse cultural values and perspectives in the conservation community.

Though his outrage at the exploiters of the West remained undiminished, his methods moderated as he co-founded the Wildlands Network and founded the Rewilding Institute, both with the mission of helping wildlife survive and flourish.

One more thing about Sid Goodloe: I was lucky enough for over a decade to serve with him on the board of directors of the Quivira Coalition, based in Santa Fe. It approached conservation issues through what we called the “radical center.” Environmentalists, ranchers and land managers checked their politics at the door with the shared aim

of improving land health across the West.

Stepping toward the center isn’t easy in these polarized times. Even invoking Goodloe and Foreman in the same breath is probably sacrilege to some reading this. Yet I think if the two had ever met, they might have discovered a grudging respect for each other.

If we want to save what there is left to save in the West, we need to work together across the political spectrum. I mourn the loss of these two wildly different, but great, men who taught us to never give up on making things better.

Padilla convenes statewide webinar highlighting best practices for local governments following natural disasters U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) hosted a statewide webinar with the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) to highlight best practices and lessons learned for immediate post-disaster engagement in California. The webinar included representatives from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES).

“From devastating fires and hurricanes to historic floods and torrential atmospheric rivers, local governments are at the tip of the spear when it comes to response and immediate actions,” said Senator Padilla.

“That is why I’ve worked to bring leaders from local, county, state, and federal levels together so that we can help better prepare folks on the ground before extreme weather hits.

“No matter how many disasters we experience, we should always be evaluating processes, sharing lessons learned, and improving our response to better protect our communities and reach vulnerable populations.”

“Climate disasters have become the new normal, and counties – the 3069 throughout the county and 58 here in California – are among the first responders to these emergencies. California State Association of Counties (CSAC) is thankful for U.S. Senator Padilla’s partnership as we relent-

lessly pursue the safety and security of our residents through community resilience,” said Supervisor James Gore, 2nd District, Sonoma County, National Association of Counties 1st Vice President and past president of the California State Association of Counties.

In light of increasingly catastrophic disasters and severe weather events in California, Senator Padilla has prioritized improving the federal government’s planning for, response to, and mitigation of natural disasters since he entered the Senate.

On Wednesday, the Senate passed Padilla’s amendment directing the Department of Transportation to develop and publish best practices and guidelines for local, state, and Tribal governments to utilize when conducting local emergency evacuation route planning.

In July, Padilla successfully included multiple provisions he authored to expedite the transfer of critical firefighting aircraft to the State of California and to bolster West Coast Atmospheric River forecasting in the Senate’s bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024.

Padilla has also introduced bipartisan legislation earlier this year to ensure increased flexibility in the cost sharing of federal assistance before and after disaster strikes.

Rep. Huffman re-introduces bill to stymie dangerous health share practices use disorders, chronic conditions, certain preexisting conditions, and even maternity care.

With more for-profit administrators taking advantage of loopholes to market Health Shares to broader audiences through deceptive practices, roughly 1.7 million Americans have now enrolled and are at serious risk of being denied necessary treatments and services.

“Health Care Sharing Ministries prey on citizens in search of care, using overt appeals to religion as a veil to avoid criticism and regulation. It is completely unconscionable that an entity would trick consumers into purchasing inadequate health coverage, leaving folks to hold the bag and risk bankruptcy when they need help the most,” said Rep. Huffman. “The threat posed by these unregulated, deceptive Health Shares demands federal action. As consumers begin shopping for health care this open enrollment season, we need to ramp up our efforts to protect them from Health Shares’ predatory practices. And that starts with having accurate information at hand to ensure consumers can make the best choices possible for themselves and their loved ones, which is what our bill would do.”

This week, Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), co-founder and co-chair of the Congressional Freethought Caucus (CFC), re-introduced the Health Share Transparency Act, which would protect people from deceptive practices by Health Care Sharing Ministries and expand consumer access to accurate information about health coverage options, The bill would ensure that Health Shares provide clear information to consumers before they enroll in coverage, it would hold Health Shares accountable should they fail to make accurate and timely disclosures. Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Mark Pocan (WI-02), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), and Sean Casten (IL-06) joined Huffman as original cosponsors of the legislation.

Health Shares are a limited form of health coverage that require members – who must share a common set of religious or ethical beliefs – to submit monthly payments to cover the qualified expenses of other members. Health Shares do not have to comply with the consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act, provide limited benefits for their members, and do not guarantee payment for medical claims. Recent data shows Health Shares deem only half of members’ health expenses eligible for reimbursement. They also exclude coverage altogether for services such as abortions, contraception, mental health, substance

The Health Share Transparency Act will: • Empower consumers with the knowledge to distinguish between comprehensive, regulated health insurance

products and Health Shares by requiring disclosures by Health Shares during the enrollment process.

• Provide new data for regulators to assess the threat Health Shares pose to Public Health including rates of service denials, enrollment, service area, average out of pocket expenses for Health Share Members, and the contents of complaints received by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

• Ensure health insurance brokers selling Health Shares inform consumers if they are eligible for better, more comprehensive forms of health coverage including the ACA, Medicaid, or Medicare, and accurately describe the scope of benefits provided by Health Shares.

In October 2021, Representatives Huffman and Raskin led a letter on behalf of the Congressional Freethought Caucus to Samuel Levine, Acting Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Bureau of Consumer Protection, urging the agency to take necessary steps to protect consumers from the dangers presented by HCSMs. “We commend Rep. Huffman for his dedication to protecting consumers from the dangerous practices of Health Care Sharing Ministries. The reintroduction of the Health Share Transparency Act demonstrates Rep. Huffman’s commitment to ensuring that

Americans have access to accurate and transparent information about their healthcare options.

Health care should never be conditioned on adherence to someone else’s religious dogma. The Health Share Transparency Act is a vital step toward safeguarding the health and well-being of individuals and families across the nation. We wholeheartedly support Rep. Huffman’s efforts in championing this important cause,” said Annie Laurie Gaylor, President of FFRF Action Fund.

“As Open Enrollment begins, we know that quality health insurance is essential for cancer patients. But too often, people – including cancer patients - enroll in a health care sharing ministry thinking they are covered only to find out later that they can’t access the care they need. We applaud Rep. Huffman for introducing this important legislation which will help us learn more about health coverage that frequently leaves patients exposed to both physical and financial harm,” said Dr. Gwen Nicholas, Chief Medical Officer of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

“This legislation will greatly aid patients and their families by creating guardrails and requiring greater transparency on what health care sharing ministries are and are not,” said Randall Rutta, Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Council. “If enacted, the law will help educate people on the risk of accidentally purchasing inadequate health

plans that could lead to both poor health outcomes and financial burden.”

“Healthcare sharing ministries have taken full advantage of special government carve outs by utilizing religion to deceive their members and pocket their cash when they are most in need of care,” said Lily Bolourian, Legal and Policy Director of the American Humanist Association. “Representative Huffman’s bill aims to challenge the limited oversight health shares have enjoyed and seeks to bolster the accountability and transparency of this pseudo ‘coverage’. The American Humanist Association is thankful for Mr. Huffman bringing attention to this issue, and is proud to support his effort to ensure consumers are protected and informed.”

The bill is endorsed by the National Health Council, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Epilepsy Foundation, the American Lung Association, the Interfaith Alliance, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the American Humanists Association, the Secular Coalition of America, American Atheists, Susan G Komen, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the National Excema Society, the Equality Federation, Equality California, Silver State Equality and the Center for Inquiry, the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), and the Bayard Rustin Liberation Initiative.
