Council discusses options for Tsunami Landing Plaza

BY ROGER GITLIN

a concrete central plaza, perimeter walls and seating and built on different levels.

An overhead walking cover was removed over two decades ago.

Last year, the city was awarded the Clean California grant which includes some improvements to the parking lot adjoining the plaza. Last month, the council discussed options regarding the repair of the vandalized Tsunami Memorial Fountain. Councilors directed staff to reinstall the fountain in time for the 60th anniversary of the tsunami, March of 2024.

Due to its design, the city has determined the Tsunami Landing Plaza has potential to become an asset as the city seeks to incorporate this space

The Triplicate

The Crescent City Council agreed the Tsunami Memorial Fountain and the adjoining plaza is underutilized.

Changes are forthcoming. The Council is also considering an ordinance to pursue time-of-use restrictions, presently adopted for all city parks.

Here’s the chronology and background of the site: The Memorial Fountain was commissioned in 1965 in memory of the 11 lives lost during the 1964 tsunami. It was placed in an area known as Tsunami Landing Plaza located on Front Street, across from Beachfront Park. The plaza and surrounding areas incorporated concrete walkways and

into the Beachfront Park and Front Street development.

The city already has a tsunami walking tour with informational kiosks.

As currently designed the Plaza has several challenges: • Scalloped walls and underutilized seating.

• Limited public use of this space.

• Daily maintenance of trash.

• More law enforcement required in the area.

• Limited visibility Accommodation of large crowds like the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree poses additional challenges, including hazardous conditions Please see PLAZA, Page 10

After winning a first league championship in 28 years in boys soccer this fall, 10 Del Norte players have received all-league recognition, including Isidro Montanez who was named the league MVP Goalkeeper.

But his talent between the posts was only part of what Montanez brought to this year’s team.

“In addition to being a great shot stopper who commands his

area effectively, Isidro is also a candidly-outspoken team leader,” Del Norte head coach David Sanyaolu said. “His performance as part of our defensive unit this season played a large part in our achievement.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

GUEST COLUMNS

Don’t wait As we enter into the holiday season, we see many addicts who wish to wait until after the holidays to seek treatment. They would like to spend time with their families and avoid missing yet another holiday. But what happens in most cases is they use more to get away from the harsh reality of their life that confronts them.

They think there is no way out of the stresses of life and no way out of their addiction. The next thing they know, these anxieties push them to keep using, which could ultimately lead to an overdose and/or death. The realization that you must prioritize your needs over your wants is the most difficult aspect of entering rehab.

I never wanted to become an addict when I was younger. Having a family and becoming an electrician were my goals. I got lost somewhere on that road. One pill turned into many, which turned into an endless amount, and I had no idea how to deal with my problems.

One of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make in my life was to go to rehab, but it was ultimately the best one.

Who knows where I could’ve ended up if I had put it off.

Sincerely,

A family of writers and teachers

I just returned from a memorial service for my mother. I thought I might take a break for a week from writing my column, but instead decided to write about life and death.

Everyone has lost someone to death. It is a universal experience.

Her Story When my mother died last month, I offered to write her obituary. She made it easier for me because she took the time to write her own biography.

I read through her story and Matthew Goodson pulled out the key dates and events but reading her story gave me new insight ADDICTION SCREENINGS into who she was.

She was a writer and did some excellent writing, in stories and poems. She didn’t, however, write anything about herself or her family.”

“After a bit, Lois said ‘and have you written of your life?’ With that in mind, I have taken on the task.” At 72 my mother wrote the story of her life and ended with, “That all member of the California The California for now.” She lived another Dungeness Crab Fishing Department of Fish 21 years past that.

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Ski bum culture hits reality

Israel?

been my own obsession. I looped through mountain towns across the West, from Aspen, Colorado to Victor, Idaho and Big Sky, Montana, to assess the current state of ski bums.

What I found was that everyone trying to build a life in those towns was struggling, from my old colleagues who had stuck around and wished they’d bought real estate to “lifties” fresh out of school.

“A lot of people here are living a fantasy I can’t obtain,” said Malachi Artice, a 20-something skier working multiple jobs in Jackson, Wyoming.

At the most basic level, the math just didn’t work.

In most mountain towns, it’s now nearly impossible to work a single fulltime service job, the kind that resort towns depend on, and afford rent. The pressure shows up in nearly everything, including abysmal mental health outcomes like anxiety and depression.

Ski towns have some of the highest suicide rates in the country, and social services haven’t expanded to meet demand. Racial gaps are also widening in an industry that often depends on undocumented immigrants to fill the poorly paid, but necessary, jobs it takes to keep a tourist town running.

On top of all that, abundant snowfall, the basis of a ski resort’s

economy, is getting cooked by climate change.

And sure, you can argue skiing is superficial and unimportant, but ski towns—some of the most elite and economically unequal places in the country—are microcosms for the way our social fabric is splitting.

Ski towns face crucial, complicated questions: Can they build affordable housing and also preserve open space? What happens when healthcare workers or teachers won’t take jobs because they can’t find a way to live in the community they serve?

Will a town willingly curb growth when that’s what supports the tax base?

There are no easy answers because the problems are entrenched in both that slowmoving nostalgia that stymies change, and in the downhill rush of capitalism, which gives power to whoever pays the most: The housing market always tilts toward highend real estate instead of modestly priced homes for essential workers.

What we value shapes our lives, and so I think we must hold the ski industry to higher standards. If these rarefied places can find ways to support working as well as leisurebased communities, they could serve as lessons for change elsewhere.

During my tour, I saw necessary workers

in the ski industry facing hard economic choices, but I also saw positive, community-scale change. In Alta, Utah, for instance, the arts nonprofit Alta Community Enrichment added mental health support when its employees reported an urgent need.

If ski-resort towns are going to survive, the lives of their workers need to matter, and that means caring about them—from affordable housing to accessible mental health support.

The undersigned hereby certifies that no assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above-described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4).

There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. As of the date hereof, the defaults for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the principal balance of $59,000.00, plus interest from 10/29/2021 at an annual rate of 4.500% which is $64,236.26 plus adjustments totaling $465.00 and current foreclosure costs of $2,287.94 all totaling $66,989.20 which is the total required to pay off. Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. Notice hereby is given that the beneficiary, by reason of said default, has elected and does hereby elect to foreclose the trust deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.705 to 86.795, and to cause to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the described property which grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time

The Sale will be held at the hour of 10:00 AM, in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110 on 3/8/2024, at the following place: In the lobby of the Curry County Courthouse, 29821 Ellensburg Avenue, Gold Beach which is the hour, date and place last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address Netsalao Noy Kelly 10942 S Coralville Way South Jordan, UT 84009 Nature of Right, Lien or Interest Grantor under Deed of Trust and Current Vestee Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, and in addition to paying the sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee’s and attorney fees not exceeding the amounts provided by ORS 86.753.

Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic.

Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. If you have been previously granted a discharge through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this Notice of Default and Election to Sell is intended to exercise the note holders (beneficiaries) rights against the real property only.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Joyce M. Manning Case Number: PB237067 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Joyce M. Manning A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Denise C. Brown, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that: Denise C. Brown be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, to be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: January 12, 2024 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of

letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

“He is one of the most improved players I have worked with,” Sanyaolu said. “A contributory factor being his willingness to learn and improve. As a full back, he was quick to forage into midfield either to launch an attack or stop the opposition’s plays before the ball got to our defensive zone.”

Franklin also enjoyed a standout junior season.

“Greyson’s affable and jovial personality belies the serious and risk-averse approach he takes to defending,” Sanyaolu said. “He always made sure the ball did not spend too much time in our defensive zone.

He is very good at reading the game and was quick to cover for his defensive partners when they forage forward.”

Hanks and Ortiz earned the all-league honors in just their sophomore seasons.

fishing zones will open on or after New Years Day is scheduled for around December 19.

The continued delay is based on a combination of excessive humpback whale entanglements in California Dungeness crab gear over the last three years and high numbers of recent humpback whale sightings off the Central Coast, according to the Risk Assessment and Mitigation Program criteria. The recreational fishery opened on November 4 with hoop nets, and the recreational crab trap prohibition was lifted for Fishing zone 1—the northern most California waters.

Recreational crab traps are still prohibited off Zones 3 and 4, off the Central Coast.

According to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), roughly 75 percent of reported whale entanglements are fatal as whales can drag the heavy fishing gear for months, hindering their ability to dive and feed. This can result in malnutrition, starvation, infection to damaged flukes or tails and even severed appendages and drowning. According to CDFW, there have been 16 confirmed whale entanglements — including humpback whales and gray whales — reported off California this year, four of which were confirmed in California commercial Dungeness

crab gear. This includes a recent sighting of another humpback whale reported entangled on November 11 in Monterey Bay and confirmed to be in California commercial Dungeness crab gear. To date, at least 24 whales have been confirmed entangled off the West Coast in 2023.

The population of humpback whales that breeds in Central American/Southern Mexico — one of two humpback populations that migrates to feed off the California coast — is endangered with extinction under the federal Endangered Species Act. According to NMFS, these humpbacks are being seriously injured or killed at a rate of four times their “Potential Biological

attacking player, making timely runs towards goal and combining well with midfielders.”

Hanks finished with a team-high 15 goals, including some in crucial matchups.

Ortiz also impressed this fall.

“Another sophomore whose play helped us to achieve great defensive solidity leading to our long stretch of games without conceding a goal,” the coach said of Ortiz, who partnered Franklin at center back. “He is very sleek on the ball, good at making ball-winning tackles, and has a good passing range.

“His central defensive partnership with Greyson Franklin is one of the best I have seen.”

Five other Del Norte boys — Brandt Pennigton, Lyon Rigden, Saxon Taylor, David Aguilar and Pedro Garcia — each received an all-league honorable mention.

The Del Norte boys finished the season with a record of 11-5-1 (9-2-1 in league).

Removal,” which is the legal threshold above which there are population-level impacts that impede recovery of the species in accordance with the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act. Humpback whales are also being caught by California commercial Dungeness crab gear in numbers that greatly exceed a threeyear average impact score as defined in California’s Risk Assessment Mitigation Program for the fishery that triggers necessary management action.

Due to the number of entanglements, NMFS is proposing to upgrade the California commercial Dungeness crab fishery to a Category I fishery— a designation reserved for fisheries that have

great job at keeping the team upbeat and motivated throughout the season,” head coach Cyndi Hansen said.

Aguirre was the team’s leading scorer, while Mitchell helped anchor the defense.

“Aurora was a key player in our defensive line,” the head coach added. “She has this amazing ability of running quickly on a breakaway attack to stop opposing teams from scoring.

“She is very vocal on the field, telling her team when to push up, get back or overall encouragement to keep going.”

Aguirre was the team’s leading scorer in each of the past two seasons and Hansen believes she could be the program’s all-time leading scorer.

“She plays striker but she is also a great midfielder,” the coach said. “She has an unlimited amount of endurance and can run the entire 80-plus minutes if need be.

“She is an all-round good player and very dependable in any position on the field.”

Teammates Lily Sherman, Avery Ritter, Lily Schaad and Channey Schaad each also received an all-league honorable mention.

a frequent likelihood of seriously injuring or killing marine mammals.

The federal agency is also considering including the Dungeness crab fishery in the scope of a new “Take Reduction Team” that would develop a plan to swiftly reduce serious injury and death of whales from entanglement as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Pop-up gear is a successful way to catch crab in a way that is whale and sea turtle safe.

The gear stores the rope and buoy with a string of traps connected by a groundline on the seafloor until fishermen are ready to retrieve the gear. This removes the entanglement risk posed by conventional gear where vertical fishing lines lay stagnant in the

water for up to four days.

Last spring, fishermen were successful in testing hundreds of trials of Sub Sea Sonics pop-up systems under experimental fishing permits. A larger, commercial scale testing is planned for Spring 2024 to enable authorization of the gear as alternative gear by 2025. We commend the fishermen, enforcement officers, gear manufacturers, and fishery managers who are collaborating to pioneer the development of this innovative gear to expand whale-safe fishing opportunities during the spring season.

Service Employees International Union California (SEIU CA) Endorses Rusty Hicks for State Assembly Arcata-CA – Rusty Hicks earned yet another key endorsement from working people as he adds SEIU CA to his list of supporters in his campaign for State Assembly - along with a long list of local endorsers throughout the district.

Hicks has shown clear momentum in this race, securing the endorsements of both local leaders and statewide organizations that share his values.

“Rusty is a proven and battle-tested leader who has dedicated his career to delivering for working families,” said David Huerta, SEIU California President and President of SEIU United Service Workers West (USWW) “Rusty has stood with us to protect essential workers who keep our neighborhoods safe, care for our families and who support and provide vital services to our communi-

ties. Rusty is the champion working families deserve and we look forward to working with him in the State Assembly.”

“Rusty understands the unique issues that we face on the frontlines as home care workers and as North Coast residents. His unique experience as a union member, labor leader, and organizer cannot be understated,” said Vivian Denison, SEIU 2015 member and

North Coast Resident. “We have important fights ahead and we need someone to hit the ground running on day one. Rusty is our candidate in this race who has the track record to do exactly that.”

As President of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, Rusty led important fights alongside SEIU members, including the campaign to increase the minimum wage for one mil-

lion workers to $15 an hour, the creation of a robust wage enforcement agency to prevent wage theft in the construction, hospitality, and service industries, and securing three paid sick days for all local workers.

“I am deeply honored to be the choice of essential workers. I look forward to continuing to work alongside the thousands of SEIU members to uphold workers’ rights to organize and

unionize,” said Hicks. “Together we will fight for fair wages and guarantee that frontline workers are able to retire with the dignity and respect they deserve.”

SEIU California is made up of over 700,000 nurses, healthcare workers, janitors, social workers, security officers, in-home caregivers, school and university employees, court workers, and city, county and state employees.
