Behind the trees lurks a sea of hopelessness

What you don’t

The

What one cannot see behind the trees off Elk Valley Road at the little known South Bend dirt road is nothing short of harrowing. From obscure roads off Elk Valley Road like Broad, Eau Clair, National, Madison, Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa roads situated in an area known as The Swamp. The main artery splits off into many trails which hide scores of folks living in squalid conditions. The area encompasses several illegal encampments. There are dozens of homeless sites hidden behind these trees. All one need do is follow the trash trail along this sad road of despair. The accumulation of garbage, environmental waste, urine and fecal matter and abandoned vehicles is shocking.

Council directs city on accessory dwelling ordinance

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

Editor’s Note: the proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance should not be confused with established vacation rental units, subject to transient occupancy tax. The ADU ordinance only impacts planned construction where a larger stand-alone property exists.

The city has a severe shortage of housing units. Addressing critical housing deficiencies, the city council is attempting to increase longterm rental inventory. With very little wiggle room, the city moved forward in formulating an Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance.

By consensus, councilors directed the city to comply with state law developmental standards and restrict shortterm tenancy and stimulate long-term occupancy.

By consensus, councilors gave direction to staff on two ADU items:

• Rental terms per tenant must be at least 31 consecutive days and include deed restrictions.

• Separate water/ sewer connections are permissible but not required.

The debate on the ADU item was oft-times complicated, with councilors attempting to mitigate the consequences of legislating property restrictions versus the rights and freedom to maximize property

tragic drug abuse, those who suffer from mental illness, alcoholics and criminals exist. These horrific, Third World conditions proliferate among arguably disgusting circumstances; but one does not see this horror because the heavy overgrowth of trees and brush veil this travesty. The assault situates on both private and public lands overseen by the California Coastal Commission and Department of Fish and Wildlife along with many private property owners.

When the Triplicate staff decided to venture into this quagmire, we understood the journey was situated in “dangerous no man’s land” and we knew it was unsafe to walk back into the woods without a Del Norte Sheriff escort.

Brother Jonathan shipwreck mystery endures

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

One of America’s most intriguing mysteries of lost treasure and human tragedy endures.

158 years ago, July 30, 1865, the Brother Jonathan streamer en route from San Francisco to British Columbia, crashed during a terrific gale on an uncharted rock eight miles north of Crescent City. The Brother Jonathan was heading to Portland when the steamer struck the rock, later named Dragon Rock, fatally dooming the ship.

Of the 244 passengers and crew aboard, 19 survived the ordeal on just one lifeboat. Two other lifeboats were capsized during the escape. Help from the mainland could not penetrate the horrific storm surrounding the Brother Jonathan.

The tragedy was the worst sea disaster on the Pacific coast at this time of history. Besides the human loss, an estimated $50 million (at today’s value) of $20

Some 240 bicycle rides bid goodbye to Crescent City after spending two nights at Beachfront Park. The remaining 60 riders elected to hop on THE BRNW shuttle bus through the Collier Tunnel. The bike tour was a first for the group and considered a huge success.

Bicycles Rides began the journey in Winston, Oregon on July 8, biked west to Bandon and south on 101, arriving Tuesday afternoon, July 11, in Crescent City. On Wednesday, cyclists were observed all around the city. Many rode up Howland Hill to Stout Grove and Stephen Bridge on Wednesday afternoon. The event was a big economic driver with riders and crew spending significant dollars in the community. Executive Director of BRNW

Roy Magnuson, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother left the physical world early in the morning on July 1, 2023, at the age of 89. Roy was born in Everett, Washington on September 10, 1933. He was preceded in death by his mother Louise (Melling) Magnuson (1962) and his father, Clifford Mag-nuson (1979). He is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn, son, Mark Magnuson (Pam), daughter, Mardi Rush (Terry), grandchildren: Colin Keller (Chalsie), Michele Weyant (Dan), Melisa Dillin (Jack), Daniel Rush (Grace), and his only sibling, Ingrid Riley. Roy grew up in Everett, Washington until the age of 10. This is where he developed his passion for fishing and everything outdoors. He enjoyed taking the Clinton Ferry over to his grandmother’s beach house on Whidbey Island to spend weekends and summers fishing from a skiff on Puget Sound. In 1943, Roy and his parents relocated to Whittier, California. Roy attended Whittier High School where he was a member of the varsity football team and graduated in 1951. After graduating from high school, Roy attended Fullerton Junior College and eventually transferred to Humboldt State University in Arcata, California where he studied Fisheries. During his college summers, he worked for Fish & Game tagging fish off the Mexican coast and also on Kodiak Island, Alaska.

While attending HSU, he met Marilyn on a blind date, and they had been inseparable ever since. He and Marilyn were married on October 7, 1956. Roy was drafted into the US Army and was going to be sent to Ashaffenburg, Germany, so he and Marilyn were married in Carson City, Nevada when he was granted a short leave. While stationed in Aschaffenburg, Marilyn joined him and it was there that their first child, Mark, was born in the military hospital in Frankfurt, Germany.

After finishing up his time in the Army, Roy and Marilyn returned to Humboldt County, so he could get his teaching credential. He was hired at Del Norte High in Crescent City, CA in 1960. He taught Biology and other science classes. In the early 1970’s, he went back to college to get his administrative degree and then became the Assistant Principal of Del Norte High. In the 1980’s, he became Principal of Crescent Elk, Principal of Sunset High, Principal of Smith River School and finished up his educational career at the District Office as Director of Special Education. He retired in the early 1990’s.

During his summers he was a commercial fisherman, party boat captain of the Top Cat and Lindy Lou, and an avid sports fisherman. He was a Crescent City Harbor Commissioner for many years.

During his tenure as a Harbor Commissioner, he helped design and approve

the new boat basin.

After he and Marilyn retired, they enjoyed traveling in their 5th wheel trailer. Every summer, for 20 plus years, they spent at least a month at Lava Lake in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon.

He and Marilyn lived in Crescent City, California for 59 years, until 2019 when they moved to Bend, Ore-gon to live close to their daughter, Mardi.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Roy for family and close friends in June 2024.

what our group observed was beyond shocking, beyond vile, beyond anyone’s imagination. This condition is happening in arguably one of the most breathtaking geographies in America. The side-byside picture of magnificent Del Norte County and the disgusting juxtaposed view of just how bad conditions have deteriorated over the last several years are unfathomable and incompatible. Accompanying us were 5th District Supervisor Dean Wilson, Frank Ormandi whose business, Frank’s Heating and Refrigeration, is situated near The Swamp area, Dave Markel, concerned citizen and property owner, Doug Westfall of The Crescent City Times and property owner John Wood. All in our group agreed the explosion of drugs including methamphetamines, fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol have accelerated the deterioration of those suffering from mental illness and the physical destruction of this once tranquil area.

One does not see the degradation because the green barrier of brush and growth separate the two realities. Is the area behind Elk Valley a stand-alone eyesore in Del Norte, out of sight, out of mind?

Not Hardly…

Wherever you observe heavy brush growth and lots of trees to hide the obvious filth, tread lightly. One observes hypodermic needles and human beings suffering from the effects of destructive drugs heretofore mentioned, discarded drug paraphernalia, empty bottles of alcohol, sewage waste and trash… and more trash… and more trash.

Sheriff Scott knows all too well the conditions within The Swamp.

“The DNSD can move these folks out of the swamp but to where?

Code Enforcement can remove all the garbage one sees here but how can we prevent a re-assault of this beautiful land? Del Norte County needs a shelter to place these folks. Everyone needs to be accountable for their actions,”

Scott said

Supervisor Wilson shared his solution.

The former sheriff said, “Del Norte County absolutely needs a shelter. We support the proposed shelter Our Daily Bread and the proposed pallet homes on Williams Drive. With these very important tools, law enforcement can remove the trespassers and the illegal activities they practice behind the trees and place them in the shelter. It’s the first step in taking back our community.”

Frank Ormandi said,

“Resources are tight. Many of these trees we see must be cut back so our law enforcement can and must patrol and be able to peer back into the woods. We need more patrol officers in our area. Sitting back and doing nothing is not an option.”

One might be correct to assume the largest agency in the state and by extension, its 58 counties, is the Department of Health and Human Services. One might also be correct to assume this agency would have some positive impact on managing this human problem of drug addiction in Del Norte County. John Wood respectfully disagrees.

“Sadly, a department which employs 43 percent of an estimated near 400 county staff is losing ground as fast as the endless supply of state funding pours into Del Norte, with unanimous consent agenda approval from the board of supervisors. Assaulted areas like the swamp are expanding,” according to property owner Wood.

“It’s disheartening to observe Health and Human Services enable these folks with all kinds of so-called

free benefits which aren’t free. We taxpayers pay the bill, while we have to clean up the messes they make on our property. It’s just wrong.”

Dave Markel inserted his observations.

“As long as one does not see behind the trees, all appears to be normal. It’s not normal. The folks who live behind the bushes cost our community dearly and damage private and public property. The intimidation factor and fear of reprisal is real,” Markel said.

Folks complain. Property owners in this impacted area are powerless to stabilize their properties and remove trespassers who destroy the land on which they squat. The Triplicate receives numerous calls monthly about these intolerable conditions. Watered-down laws which were once felonies are now misdemeanors or infractions. Law Enforcement‘s hands are tied, according to Sheriff Scott.

“Behind those trees lies a sea of hopelessness that festers through a constant drizzle of community in-

difference,” laments Union St. property owner Wood. The Triplicate will continue to report what’s be-

hind the trees and keep the public apprised on these debilitating conditions in Del Norte County.

Does the board ignore constituent comments on consent agenda?

By ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate Public speaker Branden

Bieber of Smith River was escorted by a Del Norte deputy sheriff from the July 11 Board of Supervisors meeting while attempting to deliver comments during the consent calendar agenda. Public speakers are permitted three minutes to address the board on any agendized item. On the latest consent agenda calendar, there were 17 items, which required a single vote per Rosenberg’s Rules of Order. Some of the items were routine like approval of recent meeting minutes. Many of the items were a little more controversial. The time limit of three minutes to raise questions on these items is and remains unchanged.

Bieber attempted to address supervisors, in his words, “…the impudence of rubber stamping approval of the consent agenda.” Bieber continued, “…the continued approval of these consent agenda items is detrimental to the community, economically unsustainable and further burdens taxpayers... ten of

potential all while addressing the shortage of housing inventory.

Language in the proposed ADU ordinance will prohibit short-term tenancy. Councilors exercised their discretion that short-term rental restrictions must be included and recorded on property deeds.

City Attorney Martha Rice reported to the council, data from a 25 city survey on ADUs across the north state; 18 prohibited

the items involve almost $2.7 million expenditure of public money. The one agency changing the face of Del Norte County is the Department of Health and Human Services. I do not see conditions improving, quite the contrary. DHHS effort is propelling inflation and decreasing our dollar value. For every client DHHS attracts, the agency creates systemic dependence working families pay for. DHHS has expanded its employee base 35 percent over the last 12 years, while other county departments have seen a less than 5 percent increase.” As the 180 seconds were quickly elapsing, constituent Bieber transitioned to another consent agenda item, objecting to the board awarding part-time public health officer Aaron Stutz, MD, a $39,000 raise on top of the $156,000 salary through the first nine months of the fiscal year. Bieber reminded supervisors Dr. Stutz is a 50 percent part time public health director, works a bi-weekly emergency room weekend shift with Sound Physicians under contract to provide emergency room services to Sutter Coast

short-term rentals on all ADUs. Rice attempted to simplify a very complex issue. City connection fees are based on a single family equivalent (SFE). The sewer connection fee is $9,682 per SFE. The water connection fee is $2,700, also per SFE. Rice indicated there is some flexibility in fees for sewer and water connection fees, depending on square footage of the primary property and a proportional adjustment for the ADU. For example, if the primary home is 1600 square feet and the ADU is 800 square feet there would be a 50 percent

Hospital, while also acting as the 50 percent part-time public health officer for Siskiyou county.

According to Bieber, “The hours don’t add up. It’s a 10-hour round trip car ride between Siskiyou county and Crescent City.” Bieber alleges billing inconsistencies with public money.

His revelation to the board was met with apparent indifference. Chairman Short warned the speaker’s three minute timeframe had lapsed. Bieber continued to speak and raise his issues. Another admonishment from Chairman Short was similarly ignored by the speaker. Short called on the deputy to remove Bieber from the chamber after a third warning. Bieber was escorted out the door.

The optics show a less than satisfactory manner and tolerance for elected officials to pay attention, look up from their computers, take notes and listen to constituents’ concerns whose opinions which may have significant merit. Short appeared more concerned with the clock rather than Bieber’s message. No one from the board spoke up and objected to the public speaker’s

reduction for the sewer and water fees, respectively.

It’s not just about collecting more taxes for the city. Short-term rentals generate more transient occupancy tax at a 10 percent rate. Prohibiting more short-term rentals lessens the TOT. Councilors weighed on prioritizing long-term rentals which are needed for workers to fill local jobs, including all professional categories, generating more economic activity, resulting in more sales tax revenue.

A final ordinance should be available for council review by the Monday, August 7, meeting.

awkward expulsion. This recent ejection from the board is the second incident involving Branden Bieber. The circumstances were near identical, during a March consent agenda calendar, Bieber exceeded the three minute limit, was admonished three times by Short upon which the chairman called for a recess for the disobedient public speaker. Bieber also stated he was refused entry to a 2X2 city/county public meeting, with no explanation why he was denied access.

Past abuse on the consent agenda is noteworthy.

In 2018, DHHS attempted to break a ten year lease, with eight years remaining, involving alcohol and other drugs, which would have cost taxpayers about $200,000. The vote deadlocked 2-2. Eventually, the lease termination was settled for under $80,000.

A second abuse was avoided on consent agenda in 2019, when the board planned to send former supervisor Lori Cowan to Rikunzentakata, Japan for a goodwill sister city visit. The item was pulled from consent for discussion but failed to gather a motion vote or needed second. The

message was clear. Supervisors were poised to approve the Cowan item until it was revealed they’d have to go public; then the the four supervisors reverted to silence. The item saved Del Norte County about $4,000 from its general fund. Bieber says he will continue to raise issues at future board meetings and hopes the entire board, including Short will consider his perspective. Bieber underscored, “The three minute rule is an abuse of the consent agenda’s intent; it’s the approved policy of the board that is most concerning.”

Six Rivers National Forest Smith River National Recreation Area (SRNRA) Del Norte County, California Del Norte County Road Division and the Six Rivers National Forest, Smith River National Recreation Area (SRNRA) proposes to pave 0.25 miles of Big Flat Road’s surface within the SRNRA. The project area includes road sections accessing the USFS Big Flat Campground. The project is located in Section 23, T15 R2E Humboldt Baseline & Meridian (Quad: Cant Hook Mountain). Paving will extend 1325 feet north of the intersection with South Fork Road on Big Flat Road. The width of the pavement will be 12 feet wide, and the depth will be 2.5 inches thick using ½ inch dense asphalt concrete. For preparation, the division may do some light grading of the road surface but there will be no earth disturbing activities or vegetation removal as a component of the project. At this point in time, no decision on this proposed action has been made. The SRNRA is currently conducting public scoping to identify potential issues or new information that could be used to develop alternatives to this proposed action. The comments received will help determine the scope of issues to be addressed in the environmental analysis.

Comments in writing must be received by September 1st, 2023. Address comments to Kathy Allen District Ranger, USFS Smith River NRA, PO Box 228 Gasquet, CA 95543.

Beneficiary reserves its right to revoke its election as to some or all of said personal property and/or fixtures, or to add additional personal property and/or fixtures to the election herein expressed, at Beneficiary’s sole election, from time to time and at any time until the consummation of the Trustee’s Sale to be conducted pursuant to the Deed of Trust and this Notice of Trustee’s Sale. A description of the personal property, which was given as security for trustor’s obligation is: The following items now attached to the property to the extent they are fixtures are added to the property description and shall also constitute the Property covered by the Security Instrument. Building materials, appli-

ances and goods of every nature whatsoever located in, on or used, or intended to be used in connection with the Property, including, but not limited to, those for the purposes of supplying or distributing heating, cooling, electricity, gas, water, air and light, fire prevention and extinguishing apparatus, security and access control apparatus, plumbing, bath tubs, water heaters, water closets, sinks, ranges, stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, disposals, washers, dryers, awnings, storm windows, storm doors, screens blinds, shades, curtains and curtain rods, attached mirrors, cabinets, paneling, attached floor coverings, irrigation pipes and pumps, livestock fencing and pens, windmills and related equipment pumps.

You have the right to request an accounting of the unpaid indebtedness secured by the property being sold. You may submit your request to the address listed below. The charge for this request is $30.00. You may be liable for any deficiency if the secured obligation is not paid in full. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust and Security Agreement heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned, a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a Written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. In the event that the Deed of Trust described in this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is secured by real property containing one to four single-family residences, the following notices are provided pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code section 2924f. 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. Bidders at the trustee auction must make cashier’s checks payable to WT Capital Lender Services. Third

party cashier’s checks will not be accepted. 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 559-228-8393 or visit this internet website www. wtcap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-14014-102. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to tenant: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (559) 228-8393, or visit this internet website www. wtcap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-14014-102 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.

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 (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site www. Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-28518. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 758-8052, or visit this internet website www.Xome. com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-28518 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.

largely attributed to the loss of nesting habitat for ducks. Additionally, the impact of drought conditions have likely exacerbated these declines.

Habitat conditions improved somewhat as there was more surface water encountered across the survey area than in previous years,” said CDFW’s Waterfowl Program Biologist Melanie Weaver.

The full Breeding Population Survey Report, available on the CDFW website, indicates the total number of ducks (all species combined) increased from 379,870 in 2022 to 495,438 this year.

This estimate is 8 percent below the long-term average. The estimated breeding population of mallards increased from 179,390 in 2022 to 202,108 this year, while also below their long-term average. The long-term declines are

CDFW biologists and warden pilots have conducted this survey annually using fixed-wing aircraft since 1948. The population estimates are for those areas where the vast majority of waterfowl nesting occurs in California, including wetland and agricultural areas in northeastern California, throughout the Central Valley, the Suisun Marsh and some coastal valleys.

The majority of California’s wintering duck population originates from breeding areas surveyed by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Alaska and Canada, and these results should be available by August. CDFW survey information, along with similar data from other Pacific Flyway states, is used by the USFWS and the Pacific Flyway Council when setting hunting regulations for the Pacific Flyway states, including California.

Federal dollars in action

I have some great news to share from Washington – we recently received word that grants from the Environmental Protection Agency are heading our way for Bay Area restoration projects, solar energy expansion, and access to clean water for tribes. This is thanks to historic legislation signed into law during the last two years under the leadership of President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress. You can expect to see more grants like this rolling in as we continue to deliver huge funding wins through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. Here are some details on the latest awards:

$52 million in new federal funding for 24 projects around the San Francisco Bay to support habitat restoration, decrease pollution, safeguard communities from the threat of sea level rise, and improve climate resiliency;

$7 billion for the Solar for All grant competition to increase access to affordable solar energy for millions of low-income households across the country; and

$278 million to improve American Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Tribes’ access to safe drinking water.

I’m working hard to

make sure our district gets its fair share of all the transformational investments we’ve signed into law. You can refer to my Grants Summary Guide for assistance with navigating the hundreds of grants and programs for which you might be eligible.

Historic Jobs Growth:

The numbers from the latest June Jobs Report don’t lie: Over 13.2 million jobs have been created since President Biden took office. We’ve not only regained all the jobs lost during the pandemic, but also have created nearly 4 million more. The unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, and wages continue to rise.

Additionally, after decreasing for 12 consecutive months, annual inflation has now fallen to 3%, the lowest point in more than two years. This report is further proof that Democrats’ economic agenda is working, and we’ll keep building on this historic progress.

Engaging with Constituents: I recently hosted a town hall in Gualala where I shared an update on the latest developments in Washington and answered a wide range of questions from our constituents. I always appreciate every opportunity to speak directly with folks back home about the issues they are passionate about – keep an eye out for more local town halls to come!

Synthetic opioids a growing danger

In the ongoing opioid epidemic, synthetic opioids, like Fentanyl, have grown to be a major problem. An average of 57,834 people died from synthetic opioids in 2020. The number increased to 71,238 deaths in 2021.

Synthetic opioids are produced in laboratories but are made to look like prescription medications. The main issue with synthetic opioids is that Fentanyl is so widely used. Despite the fact that Fentanyl can be prescribed, some people have figured out a way to make it illegally. Fentanyl is most frequently mixed with other drugs, such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin. This enables the dealer to increase sales and the scope of their offering. Sadly, the cost of this happening has resulted in a lot of overdoses involving other drugs. In 2020, 19,927 people overdosed on cocaine. Then, it increased by over 4,500, reaching 24,538 in 2021. The same thing happens when people overdose on meth.

The number of overdoses increased from 24,567 in 2020 to 32,856 in 2021. It is well known that when buying any drug off the street, you run the risk of using fentanyl. You never truly know what is used to cut the drug.

Early on mild anesthetics and baby powder were some of the more popular ones. They are being cut with fentanyl in place of that. Fentanyl is up to 90% less expensive than heroin for this reason. Due to its low detection risk, it is ideal for cutting other opioids. Due to the difference in potency between heroin and fentanyl, dealers are using fentanyl to increase their profits while allowing users to become more intoxicated.

The fact that 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be fatal to a person is the main issue that nobody is recognizing.

Why wait?

I have to ask the question about the continued insistence that the war in Ukraine ends before Ukraine can be considered for entry into NATO. This gives Putin a green light to continue the war. With his vast resources he can continue until Ukraine’s resources and resolve are exhausted. I know the concerns about a potential for nuclear war with Russia against NATO members, but that potential exists with or without Ukraine’s membership.

Support each other

Living within the bounds of society’s bureaucracy and social constructs, can cause us to sometimes forget the key fundamentals of life. Sensationalism, Hollywood and social media, is really starting to dictate and challenge our existing inherent culture as humans.

We are moving toward a compartmentalized and systematic ideology of ethnocentrism, based in hate, of people who believe differently than us. But even more-so odd, is that its being accepted as good and progressive. And to challenge that status quo, you are labeled as the worst possible definition of a human, the extreme worst. Why?

Sensationalism. In order to get beliefs and ideas to stick, you must do what everything else does to leave a lasting impression. Make it stand out, make it relate to people and to get people emotionally involved with it. This is how Hollywood sells movies. This is how politicians, get your vote. We are manipulated by people to buy into what they are selling. They use our own existing inherent human nature, to gain our support. Humans love and humans hate. Make your audience love you and hate the opposition and you will win their allegiance.

It’s time for us to start looking past the surface of ideas and start looking at the inner workings of things. Question why they are, what made them be and where they are going. Lastly, you are not your accomplishments or your resume. You are another human living on this Earth, shared by others who have the same hopes and dreams. Hold yourself accountable as you do others. Show love and encouragement, as that is our inherent human nature. Support each other.

IN MY VIEW

Citizens Dock must be rebuilt

Citizens’ Dock is a symbol of the resilience of our community. Seventy years ago, when there was no outside funding available, the citizens of our community donated the time and resources to build Citizens’ Dock.

Just days before the 10-year anniversary of the Citizens’ Dock construction, a tsunami destroyed it. The citizens-built Citizens’ Dock again. This structure is essential for the continued operation of our fishing fleet and the commercial seafood businesses. This is why we keep repairing it to hold it together for another year.

Citizens’ Dock has served this community well, but it is time to retire it. Nearly half of the pilings that keep the pier above the water are failing. Citizens’ Dock must be rebuilt.

Super Clear

In a prior column I criticized the Harbor District for a lack of transparency in their decision-making process. Today, I will highlight a process by the Harbor District that is more than transparent. It is super clear.

I am referring to an active public outreach effort that has commenced related to the redesign and reconstruction of Citizens’ Dock. The Harbor’s grant management consultants, Community System Solutions, are conducting a series of four workshops to hear public input on what they want in the design.

Community Systems Solutions has created a project website (citizensdock.org) where you can learn more information about the project and provide written comments.

Mission Statement

On the website it states, “Our goal is to create a modern, multifunctional harbor that caters to the

evolving needs of the commercial fishing industry and also embraces the wider public, offering exciting recreational activities and educational opportunities for everyone to enjoy.”

I attended the first workshop (7/12) when Community System Solutions provided an overview of the project and the process. This was followed by an organized open forum where members of the public could share ideas of what could be on the new Citizens’ Dock.

There were mostly suggestions for tourist and recreational uses from the people who commented. What I thought was missing was attendance by people in the fishing business. There was one fisherman and one processor that attended by Zoom, but there were no representatives at the meeting.

What’s for Dinner?

There are two wise sayings that apply here, “If you are not at the table, you may be on the menu.” And “If they don’t offer you a seat at the table, bring your own chair.” In this case there is a chair reserved for you. Everyone is invited and all ideas are welcome.

Even when there is an extra effort to include the public early in the government decision-making process, too often people still wait until the end of the process. Then they complain about something they don’t like.

This workshop series is not a venue to complain about government shortfalls. It is an opportunity to express your ideas and opinions, specifically on how to design the new Citizens’ Dock.

In my view they should:

1) Maintain the primary focus of the new Citizens’ Dock on commercial fishing rebuilt with a rustic, old timey design, and 2)

Provide safe access for tourists to view a scenic working harbor, learn about the commercial fishing industry and buy fresh seafood.

Function Junction Citizens’ Dock currently serves as a primary location for fishing boats to offload their catch using hoists on the dock. Southeast of Citizens’ Dock is another series of hoists for offloading fishing boats. I will call this the Seawall. Both the Seawall and Citizens’ Dock must be replaced. This will cost tens of millions of dollars.

The good news is that the Harbor District, with the assistance of Community System Solutions, has secured grants that will move these projects forward. (communitysystemsolutions.org)

Last year, the Harbor District was awarded a $7.3 million grant to replace the Seawall. This grant came from federal infrastructure funding through the US Department of Transportation Maritime Administration.

This year, the Harbor District was awarded a $927,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy. This funding will be used to hire the contractor to complete the design and permit documents that are needed for the funding and construction of the Seawall and Citizens’ Dock.

Sequential Progress

These two projects must be built in sequence to minimize disruption of ongoing fishing operations. The plan is to first complete the reconstruction of the Seawall. This project will increase the number of hoists installed and is expected to be completed in 2025.

After completion of the Seawall, it will be possible to transfer businesses from Citizens’ Dock to tem-

porarily operate from the Seawall. Once construction starts on Citizens’ Dock in 2025, it will be out of commission for two years.

When both projects are completed the total commercial fishing footprint in the harbor will be expanded allowing room for future growth.

Pay Attention

There are many details still to be worked out and now is the time to pay attention. I encourage anyone who currently uses Citizens’ Dock to participate in one of these workshops. It is easier to help form a project while the clay is still soft. Once the design is baked in, changes are harder to make.

The Harbor District is currently vetting engineering contractors who will assist with construction design and project permitting. The selected design contractor will be present at the September and October workshops. The next community workshop on the design of the new, improved Citizens’ Dock is August 25 from 12 to 1:30 PM at the Crescent City offices on 210 Battery Street. For times and locations of the September and October meetings check on the project website. (citizensdock.org)

Too many tourists follow a leader

By MARJORIE “SLIM” WOODRUFF

A spectacular picture recently appeared on social media of a young lady in Arizona. She was poised on the edge of a cliff emblazoned with sunset colors. Immediately her online followers clamored to know where the picture was taken, so “I can get one just like it.”

Turns out that it was taken on an off-trail route at the end of a potholed dirt road on the Navajo Nation, and required a permit to even enter the area. Also, I bet she did not climb to that precarious perch on that cliff wearing those fancy shoes.

A local guide lamented that the area would now be getting a slew of “Instagram” tourists. These people would be seeking to replicate the pose with themselves perched on the very same edge, probably wearing those same shoes.

This kind of thing has led to some decrying the unsavory habits of Instagram influencers. These

are the folks who trample fields of wildflowers in order to get a shot of themselves displaying a sponsored product. Or who photograph their colorful paintings on wilderness rock faces.

Instagram photos taken on private land have had owners locking their gates because of the hordes of people wandering through looking for the exact location of that idealized post. A perfect shot, however, does not show the queue of people waiting impatiently for their turn at glory.

Even blatant scofflaws get into the act. Some men filmed themselves swimming illegally with endangered pupfish in Nevada —and then they posted the video. Do they truly believe that only iconoclastic souls who disagree with “petty” federal regulations will view said video? Or that park rangers and police don’t own smartphones? Whatever they were thinking, it did make law enforcement easier.

What has happened to old-fashioned sponta-

neity? Imitation is a form of flattery, but is the only picture worth having one that’s copied from someone else’s? There’s even a website which apparently allows one to paste family pictures into vacation spots without bothering to visit them. A great time saver.

One day while riding my bike, I passed a couple setting up for their flawless picture. When I came back an hour later, they were still working on getting the hair, clothing and attitude just right. The scenery was an afterthought.

People are also falling into copycat mode because apparently just standing on a rim isn’t sexy enough . One has to jump or pretend to fall, which unfortunately may segue into the real thing. Search and Rescue groups decry the glut of visitors who just want the “perfect” picture. There is even a word for them: Killfies.

I’m reminded of the old “mom” adage where wayward children are asked: “if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?”

Then I discovered an entire genre of Instagram posts dedicated to ladies who hike and climb in high heels. I assumed that they hiked in real shoes and then changed for the shot, but no, some of them climb mountains in heels. What could possibly go wrong?

Back in the day, we visited the backcountry to get away from other people. Now we invite them digitally to follow and give us “likes.” If a person climbs a mountain and does not post it online, did the hike really happen?

Perhaps I could start a trend: Down-and-dirty influencing. Sweaty, beyond tired, what it really looks like to have hiked up to that cliff.

Think it would catch on?

Princess Buttons

Princess ended up at Animal Control through no fault of her own! She’s friendly, loves to play and has lived with other dogs. She has a pretty rambunctious play style and would likely do well with other dogs at the same energy level. She’s currently in a foster home, so please call if you are interested in meeting Princess!
