Help needed to get a family back on its feet

Sheriff’s sergeant hopes the community will

help him rebuild

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

For the better part of almost four decades, Del Norte Sheriff Sergeant Gene McManus has been helping others. McManus has been protecting citizens of Del Norte County, selflessly and without seeking recognition.

Now, in the wake of the Kelly Fire, he humbly seeks community assistance after the fires destroyed his home in Washington Flat, Gasquet.

The ordeal began Wednesday, August 16. Keenly Aware of the growing fires perilously close to his home, Sgt. McManus safely removed his pets, including the beloved family turtle, and evacuated his family. He also set up sprinklers and water system to hose down the home’s roof.

Then, the home lost power.

Initially believing his home would survive, McManus was met by a fire captain and the California Office of Emergency Services fire team who ordered his immediate evacuation. That directive saved his life; he most assuredly would have perished in the ensuing moments as he observed 30-foot flames racing

Del Norte players playing key roles for CR

BY RAY HAMILL For The Triplicate

College of the Redwoods football is benefiting from the influence of a number of Del Norte players, as the Corsairs look to compete for a conference championship this fall.

CR kicked off the new season with a 21-7 win over Merced College recently (on Saturday), with some former Warriors not only starting but playing key roles for the team.

Most notably, sophomore linebacker Tanner Forkner got the new season off to an impressive start, picking up just where he left off after an outstanding freshmen season in 2022.

Sophomore running back Levi Cox-Cooley, a former Big 4 MVP, also looked good in limited action and was a bright spot on a sloppy offensive team performance, while freshman defensive tackle Bryson Price

Contract for Harbor Seawall awarded

First step taken in multi-year process to replace aging infrastructure

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

The Crescent City-Del Norte Harbor District has selected Engineering firm Moffatt and Nichol to prepare designs and environmental review for a new seawall and Citizens Dock. The contract is for $550,000 and is 100 percent funded. There were two bidders seeking the design and environmental work: GHD Engineering of Arcata and Moffatt and Nichol.

This is the first step as part of the $8.3 million grants awarded to the CCHD. The grant was broken down accordingly:

• Port Infrastructure Development, $7,366,565 for the Seawall.

SNAP Food Replacement in Wildfire-Hit California Counties

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on September 8 that households impacted by power outages due to heatwaves and wildfires in California could be eligible for replacement of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/ CalFresh benefits. This is one of many recent steps USDA has taken to ensure California residents in need have food to eat.

Rather than require SNAP households to report food losses individually, USDA allowed the State of California to approve automatic mass replacements for residents of certain counties and zip codes who lost food as a result of the heatwaves and wildfires.

The waiver applies to 22 zip codes in the 14 counties of Calaveras, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Kings, Lake, Mariposa, Nevada, Placer, Santa Cruz, Siskiyou, Trinity, Tulare, and Tuolumne.

More details will be made available through the

California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

SNAP participants in areas hardest hit by the disaster may have a portion of their August benefits replaced.

SNAP recipients residing in other affected areas may request replacement benefits by filing an affidavit with the local office attesting to disaster-related loss.

USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service is ready to consider additional waivers that may be needed to help program participants who have lost food due to power outages caused by heatwaves and wildfires and to simplify the application process for affected households, upon request from the CDSS. Individuals seeking more information about this and other available aid should dial 2-1-1. For more information about California SNAP, visit https://www.cdss. ca.gov/food-nutrition/calfresh.

Grace Marie Zottola

Cooper, age 94, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2023, in Crescent City, CA. She was born September 6, 1928, in Tracy, CA to Ernest and Mary (Caso) Zottola.

Grace is survived by her sons Henry A. Cooper, John, Ernie (Carol) and Vaughn, as well as seven grandchildren (Jon (Jenny), Anthony (Jenny), Christina, Miko, Emily, Orion, and Sophia) and ten great-grandchildren (Evan, Willie, Lila, Adalynn, Kylie, Lillyanna, Michael, Valentina, Tallulah, and Francesca).

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Mary, her husband Frank and her children Frank, Henry G., Maria, and Mike as well as her brother Jerry Zottola and his wife Gertie.

Grace is also survived by her daughter-in-law

Debbie (Mike); a special thanks to Debbie who cared for Gracie when her health started to decline in 2020 and who set up a team of caregivers that treated our mom with so much love: Avina, Lucy, Maria, Sunshine, and Rhonda - you ladies have our heartfelt thanks.

Gracie is also survived by her Nieces and Nephews who she adored: Tony, Tina, Gretchen, Tami, Trudi, Tim, and Gina; you were all a constant source of loving support, and she loved you dearly.

“Gracie” grew up during the Great Depression and was educated in parochial and state schools and it was at Del Norte High School in Crescent City, CA that she met the love of her life Frank Cooper; they married on August 28th, 1950, and had eight children, 7 sons and a daughter, with the youngest, Vaughn, born in 1965. When we were older, we would say “Mom, you were pregnant

for basically 15 straight years - how did you do it?” She would respond “I loved every minute of it.”

Of course, occasionally, while we were all outside playing, she would lock the front door and the sliding glass door that led to the backyard and not let us in for a few hours; we figured it out after a while that this was “Mom’s time.”

She was a housewife extraordinaire, had bag lunches lined up and ready to take to school each morning, could sew and fix any tear in our pants, shirts and uniforms and did more laundry than any one person should have to do in a lifetime; in fact, in 1973 when we moved to Aptos, CA and there was five of us children still at home she made the decision that we would all learn how to do our own laundry - we all learned the hard way and ruined many a piece of clothing but she stuck to her guns and we figured it out!

A few years after Vaughn was born Gracie went back to school and first got her A.A. Degree and then at 43 years old she earned her B.A. Degree in English; many of the conversations with our mom over the years started with or ended with her saying “You know that I’m an English Major.”

During those conversations Gracie could have you laughing, crying, or so pissed off you couldn’t see straight - and this could all happen in the

same conversation! She had her non-negotiables when it came to family, country, politics and religion and you crossed her at your own risk; there was no way you were going to win a debate with her!! Gracie had a gift for writing, and she was still sending out letters to family and friends until the day she died; a huge THANK YOU to all her Pen Pals - you know who you are.

English Major or not, Gracie Cooper could bake and cook! Her spaghetti sauce, her raviolis and her cookies were legendary, in fact, there was always a huge stack of homemade cookies on the kitchen counter.

Growing up in Aptos, our buddies knew there was always “leftovers” of every type in the backyard outdoor refrigerator and there was a constant procession of teenage boys back there starting about 10pm on most Friday and Saturday nights - you all, too, know who you are! After all us children left the house, we would still come back to grab a bag of homemade red sauce and raviolis out of the freezer.

We still don’t know the connection, but Gracie took her English Degree and opened up A Touch of Class Hair Salon on Soquel Avenue in Aptos near the original Piggies Market; she and her best friends, Miss Connie and Miss Marilyn, went to Beauty School and graduated with

Redwood Empire Food Bank and Earle Baum Center of the Blind join forces

Two leading nonprofit organizations in the Santa Rosa community, the Redwood Empire Food Bank and Earle Baum Center of the Blind are proud to announce their partnership in an effort to empower individuals with disabilities and address the critical issue of food insecurity in the community. This collaboration aims to bring forth positive change through the Food for Independence pilot program, an initiative designed to provide essential food resources and support to those facing unique challenges.

The Food for Independence pilot program, launched by the Redwood Empire Food Bank, acknowledges the hurdles that individuals with disabilities often encounter, particularly in securing employment opportunities. The resulting financial hardships contribute to a higher risk of food insecurity and hunger. Through this program, the Redwood Empire Food Bank aims to alleviate these burdens by offering tailored, nutritious groceries, allowing individuals to concentrate on personal growth and well-being.

“Our partnership with Earle Baum Center of the Blind is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive community where everyone, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to thrive,” said David Goodman, Hunger Relief Worker and CEO of the Redwood Empire Food Bank. “Our joint efforts underline the commitment to eradicating hunger and food insecurity resulting from barriers related to disabilities.”

Earle Baum Center, a prominent nonprofit regional community center, has been serving individuals with low vision, sight loss and who are blind on its 17-acre campus in Santa Rosa for over two decades.

“This wonderful initiative not only fulfills the basic needs of individuals with disabilities who struggle with food insecurity but also extends EBC’s reach to many more deserving community members,” stated Bob Sonnenberg, CEO of the Earle Baum Center. Our collaboration with the Redwood Empire Food Bank is a remarkable way to serve and uplift the community, while showcasing the heartwarming dedication of staff and volunteers from both our organizations.”

The partnership, which began with a successful food distribution event at the Earle Baum Center in July 2023, will expand with regular visits from the Redwood Empire Food Bank starting in Septem-

honors as Cosmetologists and they ran a very successful business - it was the place to be. One of us boys would get dropped off there each Sunday afternoon to clean the inside of the salon; we always expected that there would be plenty of hair to sweep up off the floor, mirrors and brushes and combs to be cleaned and, of course, the dreaded clean-up of the toilet and bathroom but what astonished us each time was the amount of empty beer cans and wine bottles we would have to haul out to the dumpster - A Touch of Class was rocking back in the day ! Again, you know who you are One of the great joys of our mother’s life was the trips she took with our dad before his death; they traveled to England, Scotland, Wales, China, Japan, Hawaii, Mexico, and many times, to Italy. They loved the history of all the regions they visited

and somehow always ended up in a little Pub off the beaten path where they instantly became friends with the localsour mother, the English Major, had the gift of gab! During her marriage and our upbringing, our mother waited and planned for 40 years to visit Our Blessed Mother’s shrines and, along with our father, they took their Pilgrimage first to Fatima, Portugal then to Rome, Italy and, finally, on to Medjagorje, Yugoslavia; they described these travels to us kids simply as “blessed events.”

In her later years, Gracie took knitting and crocheting to a level that would be hard to surpass; she was at it 5-6 hours a day, seven days a week. She would lose her crochet needle at least once a day and everything in the house came to a halt until that needle was found (always in between the cushions on her sofa); we would tell her that she has 20 other

needles, but she had to have her favorite before she could continue. There would be no yarn left on the shelves of Walmart in Crescent City after mom sent one of us boys down there to buy everything they had; everytime we would feel bad for the next old lady coming through only to find the shelves empty (we never told our mom, but we always left a few “good” rolls).

We have a hole in our hearts here on earth and we wish we could have one more night watching a Giants game or some old movie with you mom, but we are happy that our sister and brothers now have both their mother and father with them in heaven and we’re certain the party in heaven has just started! Our Mother loved animals and she took in many stray cats and dogs over the years; please feel free to make a donation to your local SPCA.

Services will be private.

ber. These visits will provide valuable opportunities for both organizations to gather insights from participants and fine-tune the Food for Independence pilot program to cater to the unique needs of the community.

“We believe that by joining forces, we can make a significant impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities, ensuring everyone can have access to the resources they need to lead fulfilling and independent lives,” added Goodman.

To support this collaborative effort and contribute to the Food for Independence pilot program, community members are encouraged to share their ideas, offer financial assistance, and volunteer their time.

Electoral College

As so many have said “It needs to go away.” I have completed an analysis of the actual minutes of the Federal Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787, through September 17, 1787, which set out the arguments for and against the Electoral College, including the Seven Constitutional Articles. Article II established the “executive power” and section one established how the President and Vice-President would be chosen. There followed several amendments, but nothing specific to the Electoral College except a mention of it in the 23rd & 24th amendments.

The following arguments, which can quickly be identified as no longer valid, pertain to the establishment of the Electors:

Argument #1: James Madison – pg 57, July 19, 1787

“There was one difficulty however of a serious nature attending an immediate choice by the people. The right of suffrage was much more diffusive in the Northern than the Southern States; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes. The substitution of electors obviated this difficulty and seemed on the whole to be liable to the fewest objections.”

Since the institution of the 3/5ths compromise, the Representatives could now count 3/5ths of their slaves toward the numbers needed for electing Representatives to the House, and the number of Electors was established based on the number of Representatives in the House.

As we know – Slavery is no longer an issue relative to this “count.”

Argument #2: Mr. Gerry: - pg 57, July 19, 1787

“He was agst. a popular election. The people are uninformed, and would be misled by a few designing men.”

As we know - with the advent of radio, television, and the internet (telecommunications), “the people have been informed” for many years. This is no longer an issue.

There were other arguments and concerns for intrigue and cabal regarding the choice by the House of Representatives, and other issues, but Arguments #1 and #2 were the major issues that decided our current Electoral system. Since those arguments are no longer legitimate and as we have seen from the January 6, 2021 fiasco what can happen regarding the Electoral College, it is time to put an end to this archaic method and let the people choose their President and Vice President directly.

We will never unite

Do you ever wonder why during emergencies we come together as a community and work towards a mutual goal but during “peace” we fight and bicker amongst each other over the silliest things? I have been pondering this for the last few weeks. I noticed how our community helped each other during the Smith River Complex fire’s beginning. I saw so many acts of kindness, people from all levels of society, across the aisle, helping each other. Nobody was complaining about republican or democrat policies. All we wanted to do was help our fellow neighbors regardless of their ideologies.

I believe the answer is because we as humans are social beings and we adapt to our environment. Meaning we follow the crowd and move with the waves of public opinion/regard. So, during “peacetimes” we do not share a common goal, we see a lot of anti-unity rhetoric being spread by both political sides, on the local/state/federal levels. But when we have an emergency on the local level, we come together as a county(fire). When we have an emergency on the state level, we come together as a state(hurricane). And when we have an emergency on the federal level, we come together as a country(9/11-Lahaina).

I guess what I am getting at is, how do we maintain unity regardless of the environment? Easy, do not accept the hate that gets spewed from the news, political opponents. Do not accept their answer of “I can’t believe you think that’s ok”, instead embrace diversity and try to understand other perspectives as your own. And do not put others down for believing what they believe. Theres always a goal, but if that goal is rooted in hate for the opposition, then we will never unite, fully.

Fire insurance is complicated

In a prior column, “Politics, Policy, and Progress” (8/15), I wrote about my appointment to the California Democratic Party (CDP) Platform Committee. Our platform is a statement of values and principles that represent a consensus of the members of the party. The Rural Plank of our platform focuses on rural issues. As Chair of the Rural Plank Committee, I am responsible for facilitating revisions to this rural policy document.

Rural Caucus

I shared a proposal submitted by the Rural Caucus for revisions to the Rural Plank regarding fire insurance.

California Democrats will: “Prevent insurance companies from cancelling or declining to offer homeowner, property and fire insurance policies, and bolster the state funded insurance of last resort to provide comprehensive coverage.”

When I first read this, I was unsure that this policy could be enforced. Can the state possibly “prevent” the insurance companies from cancelling or declining policies?

These private companies can simply decide not to do business in California. At least three insurance companies have announced over the past year that they will stop issuing new homeowners’ policies in California. Insurance companies have suffered huge financial losses due to wildfires.

Insurance Answers

The Rural Caucus soon issued a factual correction. There is no “state funded insurance of last resort.” There is a program called the FAIR plan funded by the pooled resources of California insurance companies. This error was also addressed by an organized group of insurance professionals who responded to the Rural Caucus proposal. They wanted their perspec-

tive to be considered. Fourteen individuals submitted the same counter proposal for insertion into the rural plank.

California Democrats will: “Ensure a strong admitted homeowners and commercial market in all areas of California including those in designated wildfire zones and bolster the insurer backed insurance of last resort, California FAIR Plan, to provide accessible and adequate coverage for those who have no other option.”

Policy Details

Many of these insurance professionals provided detailed policy suggestions. Following are excerpts:

“The California insurance market is currently in a difficult position, insurers want to write business in California, but current approved rates are not representative of the growing risk caused by climate change.”

“There are solutions to help the market to return to stability, but mandating private companies do business at a loss will exacerbate the current problem. Clearly, the California insurance market is facing several challenges, but it can be fixed through structural and administrative changes that will align California closer to the rest of the US.”

Modeling

“California currently requires insurers to base rates on 20 years of past losses. This is a poor system. Due to climate change, the weather clearly is not what it was 20 years ago. Every state but California uses scientifically based models to predict loss. Allowing the use of scientifically based models would increase insurance availability and reliability and could increase affordability over the long term.”

Reinsurance

“All insurers use insurance, called reinsurance. California is the only state in the country that does

not allow insurers’ rate to be based on their actual reinsurance costs.

“After the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires, reinsurance costs increased as much as 50%. California insurers should be able to include their actual reinsurance costs as done in every other state.”

FAIR Plan

“The California FAIR Plan is the insurer of last resort for anyone not able to get insurance on the admitted market. It provides limited coverage at high prices. However, the goal should be to reduce the number of policies in the FAIR Plan, not grow it. Admitted market insurers should not be the only financial backstop of the California FAIR Plan.”

Slow Rate Approval

“All insurance rate increases and well as decreases must be approved by the California Department of Insurance (CDI). This process takes on average six months. It is difficult to operate a business as underlying costs are rising significantly, and approved rates do not reflect those costs. Timely approval is necessary to ensure that the rate is adequate for the current market.”

Insurance Commissioner

It is challenging to boil down a very complicated subject into one policy statement, but that is what I had to do. I asked the Chair of the Rural Caucus for advice and she paraphrased the comments made by Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara at a recent Rural Caucus meeting.

Commissioner Lara explained we must stabilize the California insurance market, modernize predictive models, and make them fully transparent. We should also create innovative insurance products specifically designed for climate change and continue improving disaster prevention and preparedness to bring down

risks. He wants insurance companies to make firm commitments to expand coverage, especially in high-risk areas, and ensure consumers get discounts on insurance rates for home hardening.

Compromise Wording

After considering all this information, I proposed a hybrid policy statement that balances the varied perspectives on this complicated issue.

California Democrats will: “Advocate for a stable, sustainable insurance market, modernized to adapt to climate change, that will offer affordable homeowner, commercial property and fire insurance policies, in all areas of California, including designated wildfire zones and bolster the insurer backed insurance of last resort (FAIR Plan) to provide accessible, adequate coverage for those who have no other option.”

I know that this is only a policy statement, but the high level of attention that is being given to this issue by elected officials, businesses and advocates, gives me hope that an equitable solution might be found.

The proposed California Democratic Party Platform will be available for review and comment on September 20. https://cadem.org/ our-platform/

Busy traveling across the district

By CONGRESSMAN JARED HUFFMAN

It’s been a busy few weeks for me traveling across California’s beautiful 2nd Congressional District - from Petaluma to Eureka and many places in between.

Last week, I spent time in Covelo where I met with community leaders including the president and council members of Round Valley Indian Tribe. I also toured transformative infrastructure projects the Tribe is working on using federal grants. Thanks to investments from the COVID-19 economic stimulus package, the CARES Act, as well as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Tribe developed

a new Emergency Operations Center and three cell phone towers. They’re also expanding broadband to connect 726 tribal households, three tribal businesses, and seven tribal community anchor institutions. It’s wonderful to see federal dollars in action in our community, and I’m proud to have voted for these pivotal pieces of legislation that are making a difference for the North Coast!

What Have I Been Working On?

Supporting Watershed and Forest Ecosystems:

I recently joined Hoopa Valley Tribe Chairman Joe Davis, USFS Chief Randy Moore, and USDA Undersecretary Dr. Homer Wilkes for a boat tour of our

spectacular Trinity River. We visited the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s Tsemeta forest nursery, where we learned about their tree re-planting and reforestation efforts. We also discussed some amazing opportunities for the Karuk, Hoopa, and Yurok Tribes to work with the U.S. Forest Service on fuels management and forest health, thanks to the billions in recent funding from Congress.

Engaging with Constituents: Last week, I hosted a “Coffee with Your Congressman” at the beautiful new Little Lake –Willits Firehouse, where I shared an update on the latest from Washington. I always appreciate opportunities to engage with constituents, answer their questions, and listen to their sugges-

tions and ideas, and I look forward to continuing these important conversations.

Visiting Our Schools: I stopped by Trinity High School, where we discussed my bill, the IDEA Full Funding Act, which would fully fund special education. I also toured the campus and learned about the wonderful improvements they made during their latest renovation. During my visit to Petaluma High School, I answered thoughtful questions from students on a range of topics, including the climate crisis and our worsening wildfire seasons. I was especially impressed by the enthusiastic students who led an exceptional tour of the school’s very own wildlife museum.

SUPERIOR COURT

FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

COUNTY

OF DEL NORTE TOLOWA DEE-NI’

NATION, A FEDERALLY ORGANIZED TRIBE Plaintiffs, vs. JOHN ENOS, an individual, and DOES 1-5

Defendant Case No.: CVPT20231239 PETITION FOR JUDICIAL DECLARATION OF ABANDONMENT [CAL. CIVIL CODE 798.61]

LIMITED CIVIL CASE (AMOUNT UP TO $10,000)

Plaintiff alleges:

I. THE PARTIES

1. Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation (“TDN” or “plaintiff”), a federally recognized tribe, is the owner of Xaa-wan’-k’wvt Village and Resort (“XVR”), a mobile home and recreational vehicle park operating under the laws of the State of California, and permitted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), located at 12400 Highway 101 North, Smith River, California, 95567.

2. Defendant John Enos is the registered owner of a mobile home, decal number AAU5340, located at XVR (“the mobile home”). The situs address of the mobile hone is 12400 Highway 101 North, Space 964, Smith River, California 95567. The address of record for defendant John Enos is the same as the situs address of the mobile home.

II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE

3. Venue is proper in this County because both plaintiff and defendant either reside or do business in Del Norte County, and the mobile home that is the subject of this petition is located in Del Norte County.

III. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

4. Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation purchased and took over management of XVR on or about December 1, 2016. When the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation took ownership, not all of the park records were transferred to the plaintiff from the previous owner, and more records dating back to 2001 or older were destroyed.

5. The mobile home was located in XVR, in the same space that it occupies now, Space 964, when plaintiff took over management on or about December 1, 2016.

6. On or about January 1, 2021, XVR staff became aware that the rent of the mobile home space had not been paid in two months, and the mobile home appeared to be unoccupied. John Enos’ daughter, Samantha, had paid the rent on the mobile home through November 2020. Plaintiff has had no contact with Samantha since that time and has no current address for her.

7. On 8/16/2023, plaintiff conducted a title search through HCD, which revealed the names and address of the defendant. A true and correct copy of that title search is attached to this petition as Exhibit A.

8. The title search revealed that defendant was residing in the mobile home since approximately February 5, 2001. The title search also lists the situs address as 12400 Highway 101 North, Space 956, but plaintiff states that this is outdated information, as defendant resided in Space 964 when plaintiff took over park ownership.

9. On October 20, 2022 plaintiff caused to be posted a Notice of Belief of Abandonment (“Notice”) on the mobile home. A true and correct copy of that Notice is attached to this petition as Exhibit B.

10. On October 20, 2022 plaintiff’s park manager,

Julie McHenry, caused a copy of the Notice of Belief of Abandonment to be mailed to defendant’s address as listed on the title search. A true and correct copy of the proof of posting and the proof of mailing is attached to this petition as Exhibit C.

11. On or about October 25, 2022, park manager, Julie McHenry received the mailed notice to John Enos, marked “Return to Sender, Undeliverable as Addressed, Unable to Forward.” Photocopies of the certified mailing and returned notice are attached as Exhibits D and E, respectively.

12. On August 16, 2023 attorney for plaintiff obtained the informational death certificate for defendant John Enos from Del Norte County Recorder’s Office. The informational death certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit F.

13. As of the date of the filling of this petition, plaintiff has not heard from the registered owner, John Enos, or anyone else claiming an ownership interest in the mobile home in response to the posting and mailing of the Notice of Belief of Abandonment.

IV. ABANDONMENT AND DISPOSAL

14. Plaintiff seeks a declaration from the Court that the mobile home has been abandoned as defined by Civil Code section 798.61.

15. Plaintiff intends to either dispose of or sell the abandoned mobile home, depending on the condition of the mobile home once the Court declares it abandoned and plaintiff can gain entry and male an assessment.

16. If plaintiff finds that the mobile home is not in condition to be sold, it will dispose of the mobile home and do all of the following pursuant to 798.61(c)(2)(A-D):

a. Not seek a tax clearance certificate as set forth in Section 5832 of the Revenue and Taxation Code; and

b. Not sell the contents of the mobile home before its disposal; and

c. Notify the Del Norte County tax collector that plaintiff will dispose of the mobile home by sending a copy of this petition to the tax collector by first class mail; and

d. File a notice of disposal with HCD ad complete the disposal process consistent with the requirements of subdivision (f) of 798.61. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Tolowa Dee’ni Nation prays for judgment against defendant and DOES 1 through 5, inclusive, and each of them, on all causes of action as follows:

1. For judgment in the amount of space rent and other reasonable utility and related charges owing and due through the date of judgment, according to proof.

2. For a declaration of abandonment pursuant to Civil Code section 798.61.

3. For authorization to sell or dispose of the abandoned mobile home, according to the condition of the mobile home at the time that it is declared abandoned and after an assessment, pursuant to Civil Code section 798.61.

4. For an award of costs and attorneys’ fees, including the cost of public sale or of disposal, associated with this action, to be deducted from the amount of any sale of the abandoned mobile home or added to the judgment against the defendants.

5. For such other and further relief as the Court may deem necessary and proper in this action.

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.752(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sums: Monthly payments in the sum of $1,787.26, from November 1, 2022 and monthly payments in the sum of $1,747.23, from February 1, 2023 plus prior accrued late charges in the amount of $319.39, plus the sum of $565.00 for advances, together with all costs, disbursements, and/ or fees incurred or paid by the beneficiary and/or trustee, their employees, agents or assigns.

Notice is further given to any person named in ORS 86.778 that the right exists, at any time that is not later than five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by paying to the beneficiary of the entire amount 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 obligations or trust deed, and in addition to paying said 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 fees and attorney’s fees not exceeding the amounts provided by said ORS 86.778. Notice is further given that reinstatement or payoff quotes requested pursuant to ORS 86.786 and ORS 86.789 must be timely communicated in a written request that complies with that statute, addressed to the trustee’s “Reinstatements/Payoffs - ORS 86.786” either by personal delivery or by first class, certified mail, return receipt requested, to the trustee’s address shown below.

In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while property is in default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the said referenced property. 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. The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act requires that we state the following: This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. If a discharge has been obtained by any party through bankruptcy proceedings: This shall not be construed to be an attempt to collect the outstanding indebtedness or hold you personally liable for the debt.

McManus describes the fire’s insatiable appetite for fuel sounding like a massive turbine engine at full strength mode. Four other homes in the area immediately northeast of the McManus home survived the monster fire. Sadly, McManus’ home was not so fortunate.

The McManus family needs everything to rebuild the home. Your monetary contributions will go directly to helping this family get back on its feet.

In the meantime, McManus and family have located temporary housing.

A Go Fund Me page/17ae64fd is entitled HELP MY FAMILY GET ON THEIR FEET.

McManus lived at the Washington Flat home for 30 years.

Meanwhile, Sgt. McManus is working at the

Del Norte Sheriff ‘s

during the fire, helping others. McManus employment status is retired annuitant. He may work for 960 hours, annually. McManus clocked in 155 hours, alone during the recent Kelly fire two-week stretch.

Sheriff Garrett Scott speaks appreciatively and with profound gratitude of McManus.

“During the height of the crisis, Sgt. McManus, at his own cost, purchased a Del Norte Sheriff uniform because his clothing including his uniforms had been destroyed in the fire. His dedication to helping others in need defines his character. Gene McManus is a valued asset to our Department. Now, he needs our help,” the sheriff said.

Sgt. McManus is fortunate to be alive. Though he’s lost precious material possessions, he and his family express heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to those who risked their lives to save his (life) and survive this ordeal. The road back to recovery has already begun.

Thanks

the firefighters.

Shay shared her thanks, “It is difficult to express the gratitude for the incredibly hard work and selfless service so many agencies perform. The kindness and willingness to serve the community in helping us return to our homes was like spending a moment in Heaven.”

Diane Lovaas chimed in, “The day after we returned home from the evacuation, we were greeted by officers and firemen helping us to

assist in restoring our power, getting our refrigerators emptied of rotten food and helping us remove trash. They were courteous and joyful.”

Both Gasquet residents said the fire changed their attitude, and each will follow the example how good it feels to have someone jump in and help in any way possible.

Shay recognized the firefighters came from all over the state and northwest and most have returned to their families.

“They are loved forever, and I hope they will come back when we’re not on fire.”

But the success of the Del Norte players at CR doesn’t surprise head coach Jason White, whose brothers Nick and Chris both coached these players during their time at Del Norte.

“We’ve had a good experience with all the Del Norte kids the last couple of years,” the coach said. “They know they need to lift weights — they’ve been taught to lift weights — and they know they need to be on time, and they know they need to work hard every day at practice and not take a down off. It’s that kind of mentality that helps them succeed.”

Forkner was named to the American-Pacific 7 All-Conference team as a freshman and looks set for even better success this fall.

“He’s just been so good the whole time,” White said. “He’s the kind of guy you wish you had 11 of on both sides of the ball.

“He does everything right. He’s awesome in the weight room, he does the offseason stuff right, he works hard in practice and he’s a smart player.”

Forkner led the Corsairs in tackles a year ago with 73, and also had three sacks and 6.5 tackles for a loss.

Price, meanwhile, is undersized for a defensive lineman at 5-foot-7, 205

pounds, but he plays bigger than that and has been a pleasant addition to this year’s defense.

“He hangs in there,” White said of the 2023 Del Norte graduate. “He’s not real big, but he’s the kind of guy who shoots the gap and plays hard, and he’s going to make plays with effort.”

Cox-Cooley also impressed in the season opener and had 39 yards rushing on nine carries for a 4.3 average.

“He’s just got great vision and he can cut on a dime,” White said of the sophomore, who rushed for 364 yards and two touchdowns in seven games as a freshman a year ago (4.0 average) before suffering a season-ending injury.

“He sees the best out of all of our running backs and that’s why he was the MVP of the H-DN a few years ago. And he’s physically stronger than he looks.”

Cox-Cooley can also catch the ball and had 12 receptions for 106 yards and a TD as a freshman.

There are two other Del Norte players on this year’s CR roster, giving the Warriors five total, second only to Eureka’s six players, only one of whom starts.

Defensive lineman Andrew Hunte and kicker/ punter Daniel Gonzalez also made the 2023 roster.

Hunte, however, will miss the season after suffering a broken foot during training camp, although he is expected back with the team next year.

“He’s planning on staying in school and playing next year,” White said. Gonzalez is the team’s

“He’s working on getting stronger and getting better,” the head coach said. “He’s really accurate on short yardage kicks.”

Another former Del Norte Warrior has joined the coaching ranks, for at least one year.

Tight end Kaleb Price enjoyed a sensational freshman year with the team in 2022 and was an all-conference selection and the team’s most dangerous offensive player on his way to a team-high eight touchdowns in 10 games.

Price, however, suffered a knee injury in the final game of the season and is sidelined for 2023, although he plans on being
