SERVING DEL NORTE COUNTY SINCE 1879 Crescent City, CA

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2023

www.triplicate.com

Wood announces he will not seek re-election nearly 30 years as a family dentist in Cloverdale and served on the Healdsburg City Council, including a term as mayor, where I gained a tremendous sense of community and in-depth understanding of the challenges of this mostly rural district faces.

The district is vast in geography but smaller in population and includes 300 miles of spectacular coastline. I’ve been an outspoken advocate for rural communities, regularly reminding my colleagues that in a state as large as California, solutions cannot be one-size-fits-all.

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

In a surprise announcement, Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) will not seek his 6th and final term in the Assembly.

Wood was elected to the 2nd Assembly District in 2014, representing Del Norte, Humboldt, Trinity, Mendocino and northern Sonoma counties, including the city of Santa Rosa, before term limits would have ended in December 2026.

In a press release last week, Wood said, “I’ve practiced for

Wood will serve the balance of his 5th two-year term, which will end by year’s end 2024.

Wood has chaired the Assembly Health Committee in the Democrat-dominated Golden State.

The Assemblymember routinely gathered significant victories in retaining his seat. In 2022, he won with nearly 70 percent of the vote but never prevailed in a Del Norte County election.

Wood gave his reasons for not running for a final term. “Many in public office say they are leaving for personal or family

reasons, but that is very real for me,” he said. “My mother has been in declining health and now requires an increasing level of care and I want to be a meaningful part of that.”

The assemblymember did not endorse or announce support for his replacement.

Del Norte Unified School District Trustee Michael Greer, a Republican, declared his candidacy for the office last week.

The filing period window has begun.

The primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, March 5.

Council votes to re-erect Tsunami Memorial Community

Thanksgiving dinner will take place at fairgrounds

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

The Crescent City Council voted unanimously to temporally re-erect the Tsunami Memorial Fountain at the Mason Mall prior to the 60th anniversary of the fountain dedication, March 28, 2024. Councilors are investigating relocating the Fountain to Beachfront Park. Here’s the background of the Memorial fountain: The Tsunami Memorial Fountain and bronze monument was commissioned by the city in 1965, in memory of the 11 lives lost during the 1964 tsunami. Memorial design artist Bruno Groth passed away in 1992.

Originally, water jets sprayed from the bronze monument and lights from the pool illuminated the display at night.

The water was allowed to cascade over the basin ring into a perimeter drain around the exterior of the basin. In the 70s, a permanent trench was removed so the water was recirculated solely within the

Warriors go down battling in double-OT playoff loss

BY RAY HAMILL For The Triplicate

The Del Norte Warriors lost an exciting North Coast Section playoff opener in football on Friday night (Nov. 10), falling 28-22 at Vallejo in double overtime.

The Warriors battled back to force overtime when they scored a touchdown and added a two-point conversion with just seven seconds remaining in the game.

But they were unable to find the end zone again and ultimately lost when the home team scored a TD in the second OT to advance to the section semifinals.

Del Norte was seeded No. 6 in the Division-4 playoff bracket, while Vallejo was seeded No. 3, and, according to head coach Darren LaFazio, the players gave it their all in a tough road environment.

Letters to the Editor

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Guest Columns

Not so fast With reference to Congressman Jared Huffman’s Opinion piece in the Triplicate on November 8, 2023, I take issue with his criticism of the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

First, he calls him an “avid Christian Nationalist”, as if that is supposed to scare people who don’t believe in God or the greatness of this country. Simply put, life is a struggle between Good and Evil. Good and God are the same thing. And according to the new book by Mark Levin, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HATES AMERICA. So, I guess a “Nationalist” is supposed to be an object of scorn.

Huffman calls Johnson a “MAGA extremist.” I suppose that means he supports Trump, who was a far better leader than the current Democrat President Biden, and the country was in much better shape under Trump.

Next, Huffman says Johnson is “among the most extreme anti-abortion crusaders in Congress.” I think it is pathetic that Democrats need to hang their hat on the right to get an abortion. Huffman mentions abortion first in discussing the Democrat platform, whereas Johnson merely thinks the issue of abortion should be returned to the states. When I was growing up, abortion was considered sort of a fall-back position in the case of an unwanted pregnancy. But since Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortions are rapidly decreasing. For example, abortion candidates are being shown sonograms of their baby’s heartbeat, and they are choosing not to go through the painful procedure of abortion.

Huffman says Johnson is homophobic, anti-LGBTQ. Rather, Huffman supports the “gender affirming care for trans kids”, which Johnson considers “butchery.”

Further, Huffman is in favor of the Open Border, which we all know is a disaster.

According to Huffman, Johnson is a “climate change denier.” We all know, or should know, that “climate change” is another scam that Democrats are using to destroy our economy.

Huffman ends with, “Speaker Johnson embodies one of the most serious threats to democracy of our time: an outright rejection of the separation of Church and State.”

RIDICULOUS. Huffman is sadly mistaken. He would have been better off if he had never written this nonsense.

IN MY VIEW

Cranberries are a superfood

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the important role that cranberries play in Thanksgiving dinner, I will tell you a story about the history of cranberries.

My primary source is an informative article I read on cranberries, “The Top 5 U.S. States That Grow the Most Cranberries,” written by Mike Edmisten (10/23/23 AZ Animals).

The only controversy in this story is whether you prefer whole cranberry sauce or the mysterious jellied sauce that comes out in the shape of a can.

Native berries The cranberry is a native North American fruit. Its natural range extends from the east coast to the central United States and Canada.

It is a true berry because it is a fruit that forms from one ovary of a single flower.

The name “cranberry” dates back to German and Dutch settlers who thought the flower of the plant resembled the neck, head, and bill of a crane. They started calling the fruit of the plant “crane berries.”

Over time, the name was shortened to cranberry.

Cranberry farming in Wisconsin began in the 1830s. By the mid-1950s, Wisconsin had risen to become the second-largest U.S. cranberry producer, only behind Massachusetts. However, by 1994, Wisconsin overtook Massachusetts to become the top cranberry producer.

Wisconsin now produces 61 percent of all U.S. cranberries which contributes almost one billion dollars to Wisconsin’s economy each year. The cranberry is Wisconsin’s state fruit.

Massachusetts Cranberries are also native to Massachusetts.

Cranberry cultivation began on Cape Cod in 1816. Massachusetts is the second-largest cranberry-producing state in the U.S. accounting for roughly 26 percent of U.S. production. Cranberries are the top food crop in Massachusetts, generating $73.4 million annually.

Oregon Commercial cranberry farming in the Bandon region traces back to the 1890s. When a gold seeker’s dreams didn’t pan out, he relocated to Coos County and planted cranberry cuttings he’d brought from Massachusetts.

Oregon’s humid climate and foggy nights create ideal conditions for cranberry growth. Due to its mild autumn weather and relatively late frost, Oregon has a longer growing season than other cranberry-producing states, which makes Oregon cranberries less acidic, gives them a darker red color and a higher natural sugar content.

Oregon grows about seven percent of U.S. cranberries. The Bandon area produces 95 percent of Oregon’s cranberry yield and since 1947 has honored this berry with its annual Bandon Cranberry

Festival.

New Jersey Cranberries are native to New Jersey and cranberry farming began in New Jersey in 1835. Today, some of the first cranberry farms in New Jersey are still operated by descendants of the original owners.

Washington The first successful cranberry bog in Washington was planted by Anthony Chabot in the 1880s on the Long Beach Peninsula.

Chabot was from Massachusetts and noted how similar the peninsula was to Cape Cod. He thought that, since cranberries thrived on Cape Cod, they could also do well on the Long Beach Peninsula.

Cultivation A common misconception is that cranberries grow underwater. Actually, they grow in sunken beds layered with sand, peat, gravel, and clay. These plants thrive in wet, sandy, acidic soil. Low growing, trailing, woody vines produce cranberries and create a dense mat over the cultivation bed.

New vines, when planted, usually take between three to five years to yield berries. But, once these perennial vines take root, they can fruit for many years. Some cranberry plants, over a century old, continue to produce berries consistently every year.

Small pink flowers form on the plants in early summer. After the flowers are pollinated, the berries begin to form. The berries start out green, turn white by late summer, and dark red color when they mature in early fall. Cranberries that don’t receive adequate sunlight may remain white even at harvest.

Harvesting The cranberry harvest is typically from mid-September until mid-November. Cranberries are harvested in two ways: dry harvest and wet harvest.

Dry-harvested cranberries are picked with mechanical

Kevin Hendrick pickers.

In wet harvesting, the cranberry bog is flooded, then a machine known as a beater rolls through the bog and separates the cranberries from the vines. The berries rise to the top of the water. Farmers then wade into the bogs and corral the berries, pushing them toward a conveyor that loads them into a truck.

Cranberry bogs are also flooded during the winter to protect the plants from frosty weather.

Time to Eat Cranberries are a “superfood” due to their many health benefits. They are higher in antioxidants than almost any other fruit or vegetable. They are also high in anthocyanins, which gives the dark red color.

Studies have shown that cranberries may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. They may lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, protect against liver disease, and improve eyesight. Cranberries also may promote urinary tract and gut health.

One cup of raw cranberries provides 25% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin C and sailors would often consume cranberries to ward off scurvy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Avoid scurvy. Take an extra helping of cranberries and have a Berry Happy Thanksgiving.

GUEST COLUMN

Trump, allies are being unfairly targeted dants must endure rounds of overcharging by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Defendants must live through the nightmare of Willis’ dream of destroying Trump’s most-trusted inner circle before Election 2024 goes into full swing so that any campaign foothold in Georgia will be met with pain for the former president, should he even get on the state’s ballot.

Yes, that’s right: The Republican Party’s 2024 frontrunner is being challenged in four states on whether he may even be eligible to run, using a Civil War-era provision of the 14th Amendment. The apparent flaw: Trump was acquitted by the Senate over charges that he incited an insurrection, and should have been the end of the matter. But who cares about facts — or laws — for that matter?

In rehashed lawsuits,

like Jean Caroll v. Donald Trump, new laws were written to accommodate a case to take down Trump.

Although the statute of limitation had long run out, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is coming to the rescue with a one-time window allowing anyone with a bone to pick to skirt state laws and file for a sexual assault lawsuit.

How many people used this once-in-a-lifetime loophole? Just one: Jean Carroll, to hit Trump.

That’s what Americans get when political persecution masquerades as some high-minded form of legal accountability. Another victim of the witch hunt is former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark. Being cast as some rogue operator with no respect for the rule of law, Clark has repeatedly been accused of working to “overturn the 2020 election results” in defiance of democracy.

But, by investigating allegations of voter fraud in Georgia, Clark did not commit a crime. He drafted and advocated for sending a letter to top Georgia officials expressing doubts about the legitimacy of Georgia’s 2020 election results, which fully deserved to be investigated. In a state with a long history of election fraud cases, why wouldn’t a political candidate investigate if smoke meant fire?

Al Gore certainly did when he rescinded his concession call to George W. Bush in 2000 and then proceeded to ask for a hand recount in Florida, only for the U.S. Supreme Court to become involved and finally shut down Gore’s claims. Was Gore an “election-denier” then?

Community celebrates Veterans Day in style

By ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

The weather cooperated and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1381 in Crescent City hosted the annual Veterans Day Parade and Luncheon last Saturday.

At 10 a.m., led by the lead vehicle from the Crescent City Police Department, 21 community entries, marching bands, horse brigades, Hmong Veterans, antique/ classic cars and law enforcement/fire emergency vehicles participated along the parade route starting in front of the Veterans Hall, corner of 9th and H Streets.

The traditional luncheon, gratis to all armed service vets, followed. VFW Post 1381 Parade coordinator Wade Mays recognized all the vets and their families with special recognition to Hemmingsen Construction, First Service Plumbing, the Pelican Bay Honor Guard, Del Norte Ambulance Explorers and the Crescent City Police Department Explorers, along with those who served our country.

Veterans Day is a federal holiday honoring those who served in the United States Armed Forces. Originally labeled Armistice Day, which officially ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day in 1954. Many confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day, which recognizes those who served and gave their lives defending the United States.

pond.

Prior to 2006, most likely due to age and maintenance issues, the perimeter drainage trench was removed and filled in with concrete and the fountain heads were capped.

Public works repaired the plumbing and the structure functioned as a fountain for the next decade.

On July 29, 2019, the monument structure was severely compromised due to vandalism.

The monument was removed for safety reasons and stored at the city’s corporation yard. Since that time, councilors directed staff to perform an engineering design to reinstall the fountain and allocated $1,800 for the redesign of the monument’s foundations.

At the recent City

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Council meeting, councilors discussed several fountain options totaling as much as $48,000 above the previously allocated $5,000 to re-erect the monument before the anniversary of its dedication early next year.

During the discussion on how to proceed, the council learned grant funding may be available to permanently move the fountain to an as of yet, undetermined location at Beachfront Park.

The city was immediately directed to explore possible funding assistance to repair and improve plumbing, electrical, concrete capping, tile veneer work and establish a maintenance contingency fund.

For the time being, councilors voted to use the $5,000 allocated, in its 23/24 fiscal budget to reweld the bronze monument to its foundation.

This story is evolving and will be followed up prior to the March 2024 budget.

The memorial remembers the 11 people who died during the 1964 tsunami.

“I think we overcame adversity,” he said of his players. “They could have quit but they never did. I’m proud of them.”

The end of the game was marred by a shooting incident outside Vallejo High School, and the fans and players could hear the gunshots right as the game concluded.

According to police reports, a juvenile suffered a serious but non-life threatening gunshot wound.

The game itself went down to the wire.

“We had a battle,” LaFazio said. “It was a good one.

“I was proud of our kids.

We had our ups and down, but for the most part we played well.”

Ben Borges had a big game in the loss and scored a pair of touchdowns, as well as adding the crucial two-point conversion in the dying seconds.

Aidan Rice scored the late TD to set up the game-tying two-point conversion.

Senior quarterback Kyle Dixon also was instrumental in the late comeback, completing several key passes on the final drive to help set up Rice’s touchdown.

Dixon was one of 12 seniors on this year’s squad, a class that LaFazio paid tribute to after the season-ending showdown.

“I’m proud of our kids and I’m very happy with our season,” the first-year head coach said. “(The seniors) made my first season incredibly awesome. They tried their hardest.”

Another senior, Kai Russell, also closed out his high school football career with a big night after coming away with an interception on Vallejo’s first possession in overtime.

LaFazio believes Russell was one of the most under-rated linemen in the H-DNL this fall.

“Nobody talks about him, but he’s one of the best linemen in our league,” the coach said.

The loss ended another successful campaign for the Warriors, who stretched their unbeaten run in the Big 4 to 15 straight before dropping their regular-season and conference finale at Fortuna on Nov. 3.

The Big 4 championship ended in a three-way tie and the Warriors shared the title with both Fortuna and St. Bernard’s after all three schools finished with identical 2-1 records.

For the season, the Warriors finished 6-4, including a five-game winning streak.

The Del Norte JVs also enjoyed a successful season and finished 6-2, including placing second in the Big 4 with a record of 2-1.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Progress being made on new Dr. Fine Bridge

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

Cal Trans work crews are completing the assembly of the temporary bridge along Highway 101 in preparation for removal of the Dr. Fine Bridge over the Smith River, north of Crescent City. The length of the temporary bridge is 1,007 feet.

The temporary bridge will be completed by the end of winter.

Fish and Wildlife director closes razor clam fishery in Del Norte County The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director has closed the recreational razor clam fishery in Del Norte County following a recommendation from state health agencies that the consumption of razor clams in the area poses a significant threat for domoic acid exposure.

Domoic acid is a neurotoxin produced by Pseudo-nitzschia, a naturally occurring single-celled, marine alga, under certain ocean conditions. Bivalve shellfish, like clams and mussels, accumulate the toxin without being harmed.

Razor clams are known to bioaccumulate domoic acid and it may not clear their system until long after a Pseudo-nitzschia bloom has abated.

Razor clam sampling from Crescent Beach in Del Norte County in early November found clams exceeding the current federal action level for domoic acid of greater than or equal to 20 parts per million.

Domoic acid poisoning

in humans may occur within minutes to hours after consumption of affected seafood and can result in signs and symptoms ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to permanent loss of short-term memory (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning), coma or death. There is no way to prepare clams that will remove the toxin – cooking and freezing have no effect.

CDFW will continue to work with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to collect, monitor and analyze razor clams to determine when the recreational clam fishery in Del Norte County can reopen safely.

While the recreational fishery in Humboldt County is currently open, razor clam sampling is ongoing. If domoic acid levels exceed federal action levels, the fishery will be closed. CDFW reminds clammers that the daily bag limit for razor clams is 20 and the first 20 clams dug

must be retained regardless of size or condition. Each person is required to keep a separate container for their clams and is not allowed to commingle their take with another person when digging and transporting clams to shore.

For more information, please refer to Title 14, California Code of Regulations sections 29.20 and 29.45 for razor clam regulations that can be accessed on CDFW’s website.

For more information on any fishery closure or health advisories, please visit CDFW’s ocean health advisories website.

To get the latest information on current fishing season closures related to domoic acid, please call CDFW’s Domoic Acid Fishery Closure Information Line at (831) 6492883.

For the latest consumption warnings, please call the California Department of Public Health’s Biotoxin Information Line at (510) 412-4643 or toll-free at (800) 553-4133.

OBITUARIES Judith Ellen Morris 10/25/1949 - 12/18/2022

To honor the loving memory of Judith Ellen Morris, her family and friends are having benches and memorials bestowed at Judy’s favorite locations: Trees of Mystery (Highway 101 South), The Forester Café across from the Trees, and the Klamath townsite where Judy worked as postmaster and ran the library. She survived the loss of her son Robert Louis Rhode and husband Louis Rhode.

Past the Golden Bear Bridge is the Riverwoods Campground to the right of 101 South where Judy

and her late husband John Hugh Morris III hosted and enjoyed countless visitors and family.

Judy is survived by her three sisters, Suzanne Carlisle, Mary Jane Bechtolt, and Kathleen Cantrall, nieces Elizabeth Marie Cantrall, Amanda Louise Kinyon, Rebecca Bechtolt and Ann Kaperak, along with family members Todd Sanders, Sid Bechtolt, Donovan and Ruby Belle Kinyon, Chase and Lora Cantrall, Allyson Cantrall, Adam Jason Cantrall, Joe Kaperak and family, Denise and Joyce Ann Rhode,

CAL FIRE transitions out of peak summer staffing Recent rains and cooler temperatures across the region have lowered the threat of wildfires allowing CAL FIRE’s Humboldt – Del Norte Unit to transition out of peak summer staffing November 13. Unit Chief Kurt McCray is also lifting the requirement for CAL FIRE burn permits in the Humboldt – Del Norte Unit on November 13.

This applies to residents within the State Responsibility Areas (SRA) of Humboldt, Del Norte, and western Trinity Counties. An appropriate air quality permit from the North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District (NCUAQMD) is always required.

CAL FIRE will continue to maintain staffing to meet any potential threat,

as well as maintaining the ability to strategically move resources to areas that remain at a higher threat level. CAL FIRE will also continue to monitor weather conditions closely and still has the ability to increase staffing should weather conditions change or if there is a need to support wildfires or other emergencies in other areas of the state.

To date, CAL FIRE and firefighters from many local agencies responded to over 6,545 wildfires within the State Responsibility Area that burned nearly 319,070 acres. In the Humboldt – Del Norte Unit, CAL FIRE responded to 160 wildfires that burned 272 acres. During the cooler winter months, CAL FIRE will continue to actively focus efforts

River is a young female mix (we think Lab/Catahoula). She is a little shy and unsure, but does enjoy the company of kind humans. She LOVES to ruff-house with her siblings! She has a sweet nature, but isn’t really an “in your face” kind of girl. She is curious about the toys we have, and likes checking them out! With some training and guidance, she’ll be a great family member!

on fire prevention and fuels treatment activities as guided by the State’s Strategic Fire Plan and localized Unit fire plans.

These will be done through public education, prescribed burns and various types of fuel reduction. These activities are aimed at reducing the impacts of large, damaging wildfires and improving public safety and overall forest health. Residents are urged to still take precautions outdoors in order to prevent sparking a wildfire.

A leading cause of wildfires this time of year is from escaped landscape debris burning.

Before you burn, ensure it is a permissive burn day by contacting the NCUAQMD and then make sure you have any and all required burn permits. During burning, make sure that piles of landscape debris are no larger than permitted, provide a 10 foot clearance down to bare mineral soil around the burn pile and ensure that a responsible adult is in attendance at all times with a water source and a shovel.

For more ways to burn safely visit www.

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.

Mattress recycling reaches milestone in California contributing to California’s other important environmental goals – saving water, conserving energy and preventing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Mike O’Donnell, MRC’s Chief Operating Officer. “We have the data to prove it too.

“A recent analysis of our California program’s environmental footprint from collection to recycling shows that each mattress recycled saves 500 gallons of water, conserves enough energy to power a house for three days and reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to driving 60 fewer miles.”

MRC’s Bye Bye Mattress is a statewide network

More than 10 million mattresses have been recycled in California since the Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) launched the Bye Bye Mattress program in the state. If laid end-to-end, that is enough mattresses to stretch from California’s coastline to the middle of the Indian Ocean. As a result, recyclers have diverted more than 380 million pounds of steel, foam, fiber and wood from landfills and made them available for use in new products like carpet padding, construction rebar and mulch.

“By reducing the demand to use virgin materials in other products, mattress recycling is

of collection sites and events serving urban and rural communities across California and made possible through collaborations with solid waste providers and nonprofit organizations. A growing number of waste haulers collecting bulky items at the curb are also recycling mattresses through the program.

Mattresses are transported from participating collection locations to regional recyclers, where they are dismantled into their different component parts. Mattress retailers, hotels, dormitories, nursing homes, military bases and other types of businesses are also working with MRC to have their old

mattresses picked-up and recycled by the program.

“We are proud of what we have accomplished in California, but we know there are opportunities for the program to innovate and evolve. This is why we are supporting the industry’s broader efforts to encourage circular design and sustainability initiatives.” said O’Donnell.

MRC undertakes research to improve collection, transportation and recycling processes.

This includes providing research firms and educational institutions up to $100,000 in funding for projects aimed at discovering new uses for mattress materials.

To date, MRC has awarded funds to over 30 projects and is seeing some promising outcomes.

“One day, recycled mattress materials may help EV batteries hold longer charges, or be used to make shoe soles, or cleanup oil spills,” said O’Donnell. “We need innovators to create new uses for polyurethane foam, quilt panels, cotton and mixed fibers.”

In addition to Bye Bye Mattress, MRC’s other California activities include offering mattress manufacturing facilities in the state an environmental certification program known as the Sleep Products Sustainability

Program (SP2), which encourages conservation and resource efficiency. Since launching in 2019, four facilities have received the certification.

Other important work that MRC funds helps communities mitigate the causes of illegal dumping.

For more than seven years, MRC has dedicated $1 million or more to collecting data about abandoned mattresses, engaging with local leaders in especially hard-hit communities, conducting education and outreach about mattress recycling and disposal options, and researching attitudes and other factors that predict illegal dumping behavior.
