toyota tacoma truck owners are, kick that log, probably the most loyal truck owners on the planet. Well, let us just say they are pretty crazy about their trucks. Following our drive of the 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro, we are sure there will not be any cooling down of that enthusiasm.

Before we could wrangle the keys from the car schlepper who delivered the Tacoma, two older Tacoma owners stopped in the street to shout questions at us. We are sure it had nothing to do with the Army Green paint scheme, nor the desert intake air snorkel sticking out of the right front fender. Yea, right!

These owners can pick out a Tacoma truck from miles away.

this forest road in is the top of the heap for Tacoma. It is packed with factory features and to some is the best off-roader to drive off the showroom floor. In fact, the last full factory-sponsored, off-road drive we attended, the Toyota folks gave us nearly free range to put their trucks in some pretty darn hard to get through trails, which, quite frankly, we got through. Other journos returned with a few dented fenders — operator error, not Tacoma.

For you detail folks, the 2020 version of the TRD Pro comes with Fox shocks, suspension lift, off-road tires and a special exhaust. An aluminum front skid plate announces to those nasty rocks they have been thwarted by a TRD. Unique fog lamps by Ridged Industries,

LED headlamps, coupled with sequential turn signals, and a bevy of TRD Pro logos and badges round out the TRD Pro. For an extra get-noticedeverywhere look, our Tacoma was equipped with the desert air intake snorkel coming out of the right front fender and heading for the stars along the A-pillar. And for the last time: No, it cannot ford 5-foot-deep creeks.

Under the Tacoma body sits a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine equipped with both port and direct injection. This power plant is tried and true as it produces 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft. of torque.

Thankfully, Toyota continues to offer a six-speed manual transmission, however, our road-test vehicle was equipped with the six-speed automatic. Recently most vehicle manufacturers who continue to offer manual gearboxes do not usually loan them out to journalists unless they know you can drive with three SWEETHEARTMOTORS.ORG pedals. It seems the up-and-coming auto media types not only do not know much about cars and trucks, they know even less about how to drive a manual transmission.

Though the Monroney (window sticker) stated the EPA rating for fuel economy for the truck was 18 city, 22 highway and 20 combined, we were hard pressed to get 18 mpg throughout our testing.

Granted, we are not easy on the throttle but we did try to be easier a few times.

If there is one small complaint with the interior of this mid-sized truck, it is that it is a mid-sized truck. A 10-way power driver seat makes it easy to find the perfect position. Both front seats are heated for those cold desert nights. The rear seats, while adequate, did make my passengers feel just a bit cramped. Keep in mind, if the driver is over 6-feet tall,

there is not much room left behind the seat once the perfect adjustment is found.

We are seeing more and more vehicles equipped with video monitoring surrounding the vehicle. Toyota labels its offering Panoramic View Monitor.

The system presents a view to the front, side and rear of the Tacoma via the infotainment display screen.

Our TRD Pro was also equipped with the new for 2020 Multi-Terrain Monitor camera. This system almost makes having a spotter along for checking rugged off-roading obsolete. It displays what the terrain you’re navigating is like and even gives you a projected path with color lines to show you the proper way out.

Safety features are no stranger to any Toyota as every vehicle has the standard Toyota Safety Sense collection of safety systems. Included are adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning plus pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and auto emergency braking.

The 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is a truck for truck lovers. There is no compromise here. We are not looking at a truck for the country club or opera.

Although we would be quite happy to pull up to the valet stand at any of those venues driving this Tacoma. But we would not be happy to throw the keys to the young, hot-shoe parking attendant.

Thank goodness for umbrella insurance coverage. ✦ Copyright © 2020 autoreviewsplus.com

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Eric Woyce, of San Francisco, holds a 25-pound king salmon caught Oct. 7 while fishing the Chetco River estuary with guide Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing.

Chetco Estuary Best Bet for Kings

By Kenny Priest if you’re looking for fresh kings with the potential for a big one, the Chetco estuary is the place to be. Salmon have been staging in the tidewater since the latter part of September. And they’ll continue to do so until ample rain allows them to make their way upriver.

Following last Saturday’s rain, which bumped the flows from under 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) to nearly 500, some salmon were able to navigate out of the tidewater. But there should be plenty more heading in from the salt to take their place. “The biggest king caught last week was around 45 pounds, with several near 30 and an impressive number of jacks,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “After fishing well for a week, the fishing slowed over the weekend as rain allowed many of the salmon schooling there to shoot upriver.” Catch rates went from two to three fish a rod last week — mostly jacks — to just a

handful of fish overall on Sunday and Monday. One adult salmon a day, wild or hatchery, may be kept per day on the Chetco, with an annual limit of two wild fish. Anglers must “rack their rods” once an adult is kept. The river remains closed above mile 2.2 because of low flows.

Over on the Smith River, the tidewater fishing hasn’t been as good. But that may not be for a lack of fish. The rain that fell on Saturday pushed the flows up to 600 cfs, which is plenty for the fish to move out of the estuary and into the heart of the river. According to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, there aren’t many fish staging in the estuary right now. “There’s been one or two fish caught per day,” said Carson. “There’s been a few boats trolling sardines and anchovies as well as bank anglers tossing Kastmasters and Cleos. The Sand Hole has some fish in it

but the seals were making their life miserable,” added Carson.

Upper Klamath/Trinity quota update According to Dan Troxel, an environmental scientist on the Klamath River Project, the Upper Klamath quota for adult king salmon will be met as of 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18. This triggers the closure of the adult Chinook salmon fishery on the main stem of the Klamath River from 3,500 feet downstream of the Iron Gate Dam to the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec.

The Upper Trinity follows a week later, with no adult retention beginning Oct. 25. No closure date has been provided for the Lower Trinity. The Upper Klamath and Upper Trinity will remain open for harvest of jack (two-year-old) Chinook salmon (less than or equal to 23 inches). All adult Chinook salmon

The Rivers:

lower klamath The salmon action has slowed on the lower Klamath but there are still some bright fish around. The few boats still fishing are finding most of their success above Blue Creek. There isn’t much pressure this time of the year but the fishing can be good as some of the late-run kings start to stage in front of the bigger creeks. The daily bag limit is two jack Chinook 23-inches or smaller and two hatchery steelhead. trinity According to Junction City Store owner Frank Chapman, the section from Junction City to Del Loma is seeing a good number of kings. “There’s lots of jacks and a few adults around,” said Chapman. “Most of the adults I’ve seen are older but there are a few fresh ones mixed in. There are some steelhead around, too, but not a ton.” Reportedly, salmon are in the lower river as well, but the bulk of the salmon are being stopped behind the CDFW weir at Kimtu. ✦ Kenny Priest (he/him) operates Fishing the North Coast, a fishing guide service out of Humboldt specializing in salmon and steelhead.

How COVID-19 Has Changed the Way We Do Business Forever (statepoint) The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed how business gets done. And when it comes to midsized and small businesses, the importance of investing in new technology, facilitating remote work and maintain-

ing a tech-savvy workforce has never been so clear, according to a new survey.

Conducted by The Harris Poll for CIT Group Inc., a leading national bank focused on empowering businesses and personal savers, the survey of leaders of

U.S. middle-market and small businesses is designed to illuminate the intersection of technology and talent.

Compared to last year’s survey, significantly more leaders today believe continuous technological investment is a business requirement.

“The resiliency and flexibility that technology can deliver businesses has been convincingly proven by COVID-19,” says David Harnisch, president of CIT’s Commercial Finance division. “Business leaders have taken that lesson to heart and are focused on making technology a fundamental part of their ‘tomorrow thinking’.”

Most executives surveyed wish that they’d invested even more in technology over the past 12 months. In fact, more than three in four middle market executives believe investments in technology would have helped their company fare better during the pandemic. For small businesses, roughly half felt similarly.

However, there’s little question how important technology will be going forward, with the majority of respondents saying it’s crucial to future success.

Seemingly determined not to repeat the mistake of under-investing, the majority plan to invest as much or more in their business over the next 12 months as compared to the past year. Only 15% of small businesses say they may invest

N O R T H C O A S T T R A D E R • O C T. 2 0 - N O V. 3 , 2 0 2 0

less this coming year, likely due to financial constraints resulting from the pandemic.

“Small businesses don’t always have the financial resources that larger enterprises often enjoy,” says Ken Martin, managing director of CIT’s Small Business Solutions group. “When investments are imperative, borrowing or leasing may be the right solution to acquiring the technology needed to remain competitive.”

When it comes to these upgrades, investments that make it easier for employees to work remotely are a clear priority. Over the next 12 months, 71% of middle market executives and 31% of small business leaders who plan to invest will spend on technology that facilitates remote work.

“It’s not just a matter of convenience.

Businesses that empower employees to work remotely have a clear competitive advantage,” says Denise Menelly, CIT’s executive vice president and head of Technology and Operations.

This is a trend that’s likely here to stay. Approximately a quarter of small businesses operating remotely expect — and want — these changes to remain permanent after COVID-19 subsides, and about 40% of middle market executives expect the same, with some seeing it as a means to grow the company.

However, this digital transformation puts a premium on a tech-savvy workforce able to support customers and collaborate with colleagues remotely.

While many believe their current workforce has the skills to keep up, businesses are also substantially more likely than last year to say companies need to focus on hiring tech-savvy talent.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has created a great deal of uncertainty for small and midsized businesses, it has in many ways clarified what’s needed to remain successful in an evolving world. ✦

SAFETY

COVID-19 and Face Coverings The type of mask you wear matters. It’s important to know the differences. © Phynart Studio, Getty Images

(statepoint) Your neighbor is selling fashion masks. Your uncle – expert at everything – wears a sophisticated respirator with a valve. Your dental hygienist wears a medical mask. Your kid is running off to sports practice in a team-supplied neck gaiter. Is there a difference between these face coverings?

In the U.S., over 7 million people have been infected by COVID-19 and over 200,000 have died. According to health authorities, the virus that causes COVID-19 predominantly spreads when people talk, cough and sneeze. In addition to measures such as maintaining physical distancing and frequent handwashing, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently

recommends everyone wear a cloth mask when out in public, especially in areas where physical distancing is a challenge, to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Since respirators are in critical supply and the global personal protective equipment (PPE) industry can’t make enough to meet this current demand, respirators and medical masks should be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders.

Wearing a face covering is important: a cloth face covering, such as a reusable mask may help protect others from the wearer. A respirator (when worn properly) helps protect the wearer from airborne hazards around them.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still

The Different Types and Why it Matters affecting our daily lives, it’s important to know how choosing a face covering can help those on the frontlines to get what they need to continue the fight.

One of the world’s biggest manufacturers of N95 respirators, 3M, created a chart, available at news.3m.com, to help explain the differences between cloth masks/face coverings, surgical masks, and N95 respirators. Ultimately, how you live and work should inform the type of mask you wear.

Face coverings and masks: general public and workers. At public spaces and certain workplaces where protection from occupational hazards is not needed, non-medical disposable and cloth masks that cover your nose and mouth completely may help reduce the spread of COVID-19 (along with other measures such as physical distancing and frequent handwashing) by protecting others from exposure to particles generated by the wearer. Designs with unfiltered valves, such as those with drinking straw holes, or any visible gaps, are not sufficient face coverings under some government guidance. General use masks should not be overly tight and should feel comfortable to wear. A face mask is not the same as a medical mask or respirator.

Medical masks: health care workers.

N O R T H C O A S T T R A D E R • O C T. 2 0 - N O V. 3 , 2 0 2 0

Medical masks are designed to be used by health care workers to help provide a barrier to high-velocity streams of liquid, as well as a barrier to particles that might be expelled by the wearer. This second reason is why health care workers wear medical masks – to help protect patients. Patients may also wear them to help protect others around them.

Medical masks meet specific standards and are FDA-cleared for hospital use in the U.S. They fit loosely on the face, so do not provide respiratory protection.

N95 Respirators: health care and critical frontline and certain other essential workers. When used correctly, N95 respirators are designed to create a tight seal to the face and provide respiratory protection. Because the entire surface of the respirator is a filter, it is efficient at capturing at least 95% of non-oily airborne particles that the wearer might breathe in, including liquid droplets that may contain viruses and germs.

Respirators with valves are not recommended by the CDC for use in certain settings, such as health care environments that require a sterile field.

For more information on different face coverings, visit www.3m.com.

To stay up to date, consult the CDC and other health authorities for the latest guidelines, updates and recommended precautions around COVID-19. ✦

Tips for an At-Home Tailgate

Easily create irresistible, rich smoke flavor at your tailgate using any grill.

StatePoint.net

(statepoint) Football season is here (sort of ), and for many, tailgating is a main event. While there will be nothing traditional about tailgating this year, that doesn’t mean you can’t grill delicious food and enjoy a few beers before game time in the comfort of your own backyard or driveway.

Tackle your tailgate with these tips:

Play it Safe Being outdoors is the safest way to socialize these days, making a tailgate party a good way to see a few friends. Take into account the size of your space, and don’t have more folks over than you can

manage while practicing social distancing. Encourage more space between attendees by spreading out chairs. While tailgating parties oftentimes entail finger foods eaten communally, consider serving snacks in individual bowls.

Don’t forget to provide hand sanitizer!

Score a Flavor Touchdown Smoking food can be a game changer, adding big flavor to meats and veggies.

The good news is you don’t need a special grill or artificial additives to create easy, wood-fired smoke flavor. Consider adding Smoke ‘Ems from Bear Mountain BBQ to your tailgating playbook. Adding

up to 45 minutes of all-natural hardwood smoke, Smoke ‘Ems are an easy way to add real wood smoke flavor to your food, whether you’re grilling in your backyard, at the park, in a parking lot or on a camping trip. Made from 100 percent premium all-natural hardwoods, they come in four dierent blends: Gourmet, Bold, Savory and Sweet BBQ. Each blend provides a unique flavor profile that will inspire delicious meals.

So, what should you serve at your tailgate? Using any type of grill, try creating Bear Mountain’s World Famous Brats and Sauerkraut.

Bear Mountain’s World Famous Brats and Sauerkraut: Ingredients: • 8-12 uncooked brats • 8-12 potato style brat or hot dog rolls • 1 medium yellow onion – sliced • 4 tablespoons butter • 24 ounces lager or pilsner beer • 1 teaspoon ground pepper • A medium-sized foil pan (use a smaller pan with fewer brats) • One 27-ounce can of sauerkraut

N O R T H C O A S T T R A D E R • O C T. 2 0 - N O V. 3 , 2 0 2 0

Preparation using Gourmet Blend Smoke ‘Ems: 1. On one side of the grill, turn on the burner to medium-high or fire up charcoal, and place the Bear Mountain BBQ Smoke ‘Ems packet directly over the heat until it starts smoking.

2. When smoke starts, place brats on the other side of the grill, or an upper rack over low heat, and cook to an internal temperature of 150 degrees or until the Smoke ‘Ems has stopped smoking.

3. Remove from the grill, and turn temperature to medium/high.

4. Place the brats, onions, butter, beer and onions in the foil pan and return to the grill.

5. Cook for 30 or more minutes, allowing the brats to soak in the flavors.

6. When the brats are plump and juicy, remove the brats and onions, and discard liquid. Add the sauerkraut to the pan and mix in the brats and onions to combine. Cover the pan with foil and place back on the grill until the sauerkraut is warm.

While you will likely be changing a few aspects of your tailgates this year, you don’t need to compromise on big flavor or fun. ✦

HOME COUNTRY

By Slim Randles

chickens have forever had a place in our hearts and on our tables. Why is that? Well … why not?

And so I’d like you to come with me back to the summer of 1970, way up north of Fairbanks, Alaska, to what was once the thriving gold mining village of Chicken, Alaska. I was on my way, hitchhiking with a 17-foot canoe, to paddle down a stretch of the Yukon River and to see the cabin where Jack London spent the winter once upon a time.

Just as an aside here, hitchhiking with a canoe, or with a sled and 11 dogs, would make a lengthy how-to book all by themselves. It doesn’t sound easy, does it? It isn’t.

So what I would do on these “adven-

tures” of mine, (my boss Larry Fanning referred to them as “Slim’s tin-cup trips” because of all the scrounging I had to do) is go to neat places, interview great people and write stuff. My column in the Anchorage Daily News was called … brace yourself … “Slim’s Column.”

Truth in advertising.

So I arrived in Chicken, Alaska, only to find I’d nearly doubled the local population. In the far-distant past, Chicken was a ghost town. When the gold gave out, so did Chicken.

So what was left was “the business” consisting of a gas pump, a coffee pot, some postage stamps and a couple of nice folks. But there was something else, too.

There was not only an outhouse there, but it was electrically lighted. So where should I write my column? In an electrically lighted outhouse in Chicken, Alaska.

Naturally.

The raising of poultry this far north is uncommon; too many local varmints, including any resident sled dogs, eat them.

So how did this gold camp get its name?

Ahh … the very reason for that column typed on the wooden “desk” beneath that 20-watt bulb.

Chicken, Alaska, got its name because Products none Quality of the Herbal miners there knew how to Blends✦Available spell Custom ptarmigan.
