Most county land owners see taxes up 2%

ocal property owners should have received their annual property tax statements by now. Del Norte County Treasurer (and tax collector) Barbara Lopez said nearly 14,000 bills were mailed on Oct. 9.

The majority of those property owners are seeing a 2% increase in their factored base-year value (FBYV) for 2019, as determined by the California State Board of Equalization, said Del Norte County Tax Assessor Jennifer Perry.

Perry said California’s property tax system is “unique to the world.” At the same time, there are some parallels to Oregon’s system.

“FBYV is the maximum inflation factor most property owners are subject to,” said Perry, “due to constitutional amendments made under Proposition 13 in 1978.

“In the 41 years since the inception of Proposition 13, California has applied the full 2% inflation factor in all but nine years. The auditor/ controller then adds local fees and bonds as passed by the voters, resulting in the final tax bill due to the county tax collector.”

Perry said California property taxes operate similar to Oregon, in that taxpayers are afforded the lower of either their FBYV or the current market value (CMV) as of Jan. 1 of each tax year which is enrolled as their assessed value for billing purposes.

“With property values traditionally rising over time, Proposition 13 was designed to limit property tax increases annually to 2%. However, there are times when real estate values decline or damage occurs to the property, resulting in a CMV less than the FBYV,” Perry said.

In those cases, Perry said, California assessors will reduce the assessed value of the property from the FBYV to the CMV under a temporary decline in value assessment.

These reductions are often referred to as “Prop

ene and Dick Braden have quite the view from their home in Smith River.

On a beautiful day, like Nov. 3, they can even see the St. George Reef Lighthouse.

“I can see the lighthouse from my kitchen window.

I’ve long wanted to go,” Rene Braden said. “A neighbor asked if I’d ever been out there. I told him I had not.”

Now, the Bradens can say they have been. The two paid to take a tourist helicopter flight to the historic lighthouse that’s sponsored by the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society.

“I’m really glad I went. It was awesome. It was really beautiful,” Rene Braden said.

“I want to stress that the guys work really hard out there. They’ve done a ton to update it,” Dick Braden added.

The St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society has been ferrying volunteer craftsmen out to renovate the lighthouse since 1988.

he possibility of a strike looms if the local school district and the teachers’ union can’t reach agreement in ongoing contract negotiations.

Those negotiations stalled Oct. 22. Now, the Del Norte Teachers Association and the Del Norte Unified School District are heading to a factfinding session with a state mediator on Dec. 5.

Coleen Parker, the school district’s human resource director, said the factfinding session charts legal services and compares Del Norte to similar school districts.

“Ours and (teachers’) panel members meet with an arbiter, who makes a non-binding recommendation,” Parker said. “We’ve never been all the way through factfinding.”

Parker said teacher unions are authorized to strike in California, but first they must go all the way through factfinding. If no agreement is reached, she said, the district then implements its last, best offer.

“If we don’t come to an agreement, then (the teachers) can do a job action,” Parker said.

Union president Marshall Jones told The Triplicate on Monday that the union is taking steps to prepare for a worstcase scenario. The union is scheduled for a training session Dec. 7, or a “strike school,” for union members hosted by a California Teachers Association representative.

He said the next step, given a failed factfinding, is to take the district’s best offer back to his membership. They could accept or decline that offer. A no vote would free up the union to strike.

The teachers would be surveyed once more on whether to strike, then go from there, Jones said.

He added that the Del Norte teachers could strike as early as Jan. 15, 2020.

This is unchartered territory, Jones said. “We have never struck before.

According to district officials, if teachers do vote to strike, the schools would remain open. The teachers would not be paid and would not receive retirement credit for the days they’re on strike.

But, said Jones, he didn’t know how the schools could remain open without the teachers in the classrooms.

Still, “I don’t want to More Strike on Page A4

2- Del Norte Triplicate - Tuesday, November 12, 2019

n Lighthouse Continued from Page A1 The St. George Reef Lighthouse was built in the wake of the crash of the Steamer Brother Jonathan in 1865, when 209 seamen lost their lives to the “Dragon Rocks.” It took 10 years to construct, located 7 1/2 miles off the coast of Crescent City, at an estimated cost of $704,634.

The U.S. Lighthouse Service manned it with keepers until 1939, when it merged with the U.S. Coast Guard during wartime. The Coast Guard decommissioned the lighthouse in 1975.

The original 6,000-pound lens, crafted in France with its 504 hand-cut prisms, is now on display at the Del Norte County Museum in Crescent City.

In the years after the Coast Guard left, the St. George Reef Lighthouse fell into deterioration from disuse, before the preservation society took up its renovation efforts.

However, the society is allowed to access the lighthouse only via helicopter, in November through April, according to founder Guy Towers.

“Why did (the renovation) take so long? We could never get any congressman pushing for it, it’s so far north. It’s like Del Norte, what?” Towers said.

“In the meantime, we educated the community.

Set up displays. It was amazing. Very few people who lived in Crescent City even knew it was out here. People thought it was an oil rig.”

Towers said the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society recruited all local volunteers, from Eureka to Gold Beach, to perform the revitalization work.

Some are retirees. Others, although still employed, can take Fridays off work, Towers said.

Terry McNamara has been volunteering since the beginning, and recruited his son to join the team of about six to eight at a time.

“This place has always been interesting,” said Nick McNamara, a carpenter by trade, born and raised in Crescent City.

“I saw it out there. It was always kind of a mystery.

I thought would be cool to go out there.

“You get here and actually see it, the craftsmanship is amazing. Not only do they not build it like this anymore, you couldn’t even find somebody to do this kind of work. All this stonework is a lost art.”

Marilyn McLaughlin, who checks in tourists before they fly out to the lighthouse, used to cook meals for the renovation crews. She said the galley wasn’t an ideal workplace when she first began.

“When the Coast Guard left in 1974, they just walked off. They left it a mess, with food and garbage everywhere. Our guys have done so much work out there. I would cook for a week at home, freeze it, then bring it to the lighthouse and cook it there.”

These days, she leaves the cooking to Sal Hernandez. He’s been working on replacing the woodwork, cabinets and broken windows in the galley.

“It’s a fully functioning kitchen. Everything except the refrigerator still works. We bring everything on ice,” Hernandez said.

He also pulls double duty as a docent, playing a loop a video of “Last

One Out Turn Out the Lights,” a documentary about the Coast Guard leaving the lighthouse.

Towers said there is still an endless list of renovations to go. Nothing is finished.

“The most complete jobs are lights installed and functioning utilities.

The toilets work, lights work in all the rooms, and that’s major.

“You come out here and there’s no power, you’re in a world of hurt.

Especially at night, these rooms are like a darkened cave,” Towers said.

The preservation society gets nearly all of its renovation funding through the tours, with the occasional donation.

Such as the $23,000 Towers said someone paid to cover the cost of moving the original lantern to the museum. Today, the light is solar powered.

But the lantern room itself needs additional work. Towers said the replacement plexiglass corroded over the years.

Now, they’re looking at replacing that with plate glass found in large homes that can withstand winds up to 80 mph.

First-time visitor Felise Hart of Crescent City pitched a fundraising idea to Towers in between his historical tales. “I had some ideas to help raise more funds by promot-

“You’ve got all these tourists coming through there. Get them interested in taking a tour out there.

Bring more in the daytime.”

The preservation society charges $300 per tourist and is allowed to take only 36 a day. That equates to $64,800 per season, which runs from November to April.

The National Marine Fishery Service mandated the limitation to six months because of the

endangered steller sea lions that nest on the rocks below the lighthouse the rest of the year.

Towers said their rehabilitation efforts took a big hit to the pocketbook seven years ago when the State of California suspended their helicopter flights over a dispute about the size of the landing pad, contending it was too small. He said that through perseverance, they finally got a waiver last year and are cleared to resume flights.

As much as Towers enjoys his docent duties, don’t ask if the ghost stories are true. “Don’t believe the ghost stories.

If somebody said that, it’s baloney,” Towers said, adding: “Although, a cute story about that. Some of keepers from the ‘50s told me they liked to freak out the new guys who came in.

They had a rack near the doorway into the galley T264884mA1112

where coffee cups hung.

They knew that if you opened door, a draft came in and some cups rattled.

“So, a new keeper sitting there, he’d hear that rattle, and they’d say, ‘That’s the ghost of Jim McCully. He still haunts this place.’

“No, we’ve never seen any apparitions out here.”

What they do see are a lot of tourists. Towers said he’s amazed that lighthouse fanatics actually travel all over the world to take photos, including of the St. George Reef Lighthouse. He said he’s welcomed lighthouse fans from as far away as England, Scotland and Saudi Arabia.

Tours continue once a month through April, depending upon the weather, Towers said. To book a tour or to learn more, go to https://stgeorgereeflighthouse.weebly.com/ tours.html.

n Tax Continued from Page A1 8” assessments, after the measure that passed in 1978.

The property is reviewed annually for a FBYV and CMV comparison, with the assessor enrolling the lesser of the two values.

The 2% limitation does not apply to the annual fluctuation of the CMV and may change by any amount as indicated by the current market. Taxpayers will continue to receive the benefit of a CMV assessment instead of their FBYV so long as the CMV of their property is the lesser of the two.

Once the CMV of the property is at, or exceeds, the FBYV, the assessor reinstates the protected FBYV under proposition 13. The taxpayer is once again protected by the maximum 2% inflation rate each year, even as the CMV of the property rises due to market conditions, Perry said.

With that background explanation in how property taxes work, Perry said that although her office sees a variance in trends among different types of property (average family homes versus luxury markets, commercial markets, etc.), the overall trend has been a steady increase over the last few years.

However, Perry’s office is unable to calculate median single-family home and county-wide growth rates. “Since the assessor is essentially ‘last in line’ to get information on transactions, we run a couple of months behind deed recordings taking place on the market,” Perry said.

“Our department actually has an appraisal backlog

of approximately eight months right now, so we do not yet have complete data for the 2019 calendar year.”

According to the Del Norte Association of Realtors, the average listing price of active residential homes in October was $404,000, up from $319,000 last year. That’s an increase of 26.7%.

By comparison, the realtors association’s same report has the average estimated value at $398,000, which is down from $404,000 last year.

Perry said property taxes can be paid in two installments, the first due now and delinquent if not paid by Dec. 10. The second installment is due Feb. 1, 2020, and delinquent if not paid by April 10, 2020.

Payments can be made in person at the tax collector’s office, online, or over the phone through an automated payment system.

Types of payments accepted in the office include check, cash, money order or cashier’s check.

Debit or credit card payments may be made in the office, online, or through the automated telephone system. However, that payment would be subject to a 2.25% convenience fee, charged by the vendor processing the payment.

E-check payments can be processed online, or through the automated telephone system, for a flat fee of $1.25.

In-person payments can be made at from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, at 981 H St., Suite 150, in Crescent City. Online or automated telephone payments can be made 24/7.

City may relax rules on where vending, food carts can operate

By David Hayes Staff Writer

ave and Susanne Gearhart recently purchased a food trailer with plans to sell gourmet hotdogs. So, the Crescent City couple listened closely to City Council discussions Nov. 4 regarding expansion of the municipal mobile vending ordinance.

“It takes a lot of work getting a mobile food business in this county and city,” Dave Gearhart told the City Council during that meeting.

“We’re real excited about this. We’re almost ready to come to the city with our business license.

We’ve done a lot of legwork. If you want to use someone as a reference, come talk to me.”

In August, the council directed city staff to work with the Planning Commission to update Crescent City’s mobile, or temporary, vending operations ordinance. Jon Olson, the director of public works, presented to the council Planning Commission recommendations developed in August and September.

Olson said mobile vending is allowed under current city ordinances, but is very limited to Beachfront

n Strike Continued from Page A1 strike,” said Jones. “That’s not why we’re in the business.”

He added that the teachers would have locations where parents could bring their schoolchildren if the parents didn’t want their children crossing picket lines.

Negotiations broke down Oct. 22 when the union’s lead negotiator, Paige Thompson, told the school board the district had returned to the bargaining table unprepared to

Park - including needing a mobile vending permit tied to a specific location within the park.

“If you want to be a mobile vendor anywhere else in the city limits, it requires a use permit. You not only have to apply for a business license, you have to go through the Planning Commission and get special permission,” Olson explained.

He said the current ordinance even limits mobile vending to what can be sold - such as flowers, kites and balloons - with strict time limits during the day.

The Planning Commission’s first recommendation, Olson said, would be to have mobile vending more broadly defined and be allowed in all zones, including public places, parking lots and streets, both residential and commercial.

A use permit should be required if someone wanted to be a mobile vendor and sell from private property in a residential zone, the Planning Commission recommended.

However, the commission did not recommend additional fees and permits. “They wanted to make it as simple as pos-

sible,” Olson said. “Get a business license, check a box, ‘Hey, I want to be a mobile vendor. Let’s get going.’

“They wanted to remove as many barriers as possible to new people getting into this type of work.”

He added that the new ordinance should allow vendors to drive and park anywhere motorists currently are allowed to park on any city street, including in front of residences, and also enable vendors to park in public parking lots, such as Safeway. “But you can’t stay all night,” Olson said.

negotiate.

Parker, the school district’s negotiator, said it had been the district’s intent at that meeting to “deliver our concept” of a slightly reworked offer that was based on revised student enrollment numbers and other contingency language.

“The board then authorized us to go up higher,” Parker said. “We offered another 1% in COLA and through ‘step-and-column’ (a regular pay increase schedule).

“Our offer was now up to 5% at this point.”

But, Parker said, the union didn’t agree that those combined factors added to 5% and subsequently rejected the offer.

Jones countered that the union’s last offer was for a 3.54% pay raise and a $795 increase to teachers’ health and welfare benefits.

Parker said the problem from the union’s perspective is that an increase in retirement and health and welfare benefits doesn’t feel like a raise. For ex-

More Rules on Page A4 ample, new teachers at the bottom of the step-and-column pay schedule wouldn’t get a raise, she said.

Said Jones, “I don’t consider this a fight to win.

I just want our teachers to get recognition for what they do.

“Come February, negotiations open up for the whole contract. I’ll want this part, when it’s said and done, built into the contract so we don’t have to go through it all again.”

The Planning Commission developed a list of recommended restrictions, as well: — Limited to about 400 square feet for a mobile vendor, or about two parking spaces.

— Protect existing brick-and-mortar businesses, with a 300-foot buffer if selling similar goods.

— A time restriction, similar to noise ordinances, from 7 a.m.-10 p.m.

— No tobacco, drugs or drug paraphernalia sold, nothing otherwise prohibited by law, and no used goods.

Olson said another key point the City Council will need to decide is how much insurance to require of mobile vendors.

The Golden State Risk Management Authority recommends $2 million in coverage.

“Checking with a local insurance company, I learned it’s $500 to $700 per year for up to $25,000 in gross sales, for $2 million in coverage, which adds about 3% sales costs,” Olson said.

“By comparison, Eureka has no insurance requirement other than Eureka’s understanding that if you’re a mobile vendor with a vehicle license, you don’t need additional insurance,” he added.

Another issue concerns signage. For example, under the current municipal code, sandwich boards are allowed only for grand openings, and only then with a permit.

Council member Alex Fallman found the humor in that ordinance. “That seems like it was written by a council member in the ‘50s who was mad at another council member and they owned restau-

The Warriors’ football run to state starts Friday at home

By John Pritchett For The Triplicate The Del Norte High School football team got exactly what it wanted from North Coast Section officials on Sunday.

After waiting for a week, the Warriors learned they will host Alhambra in the first round of the North Coast Section Division 5 playoffs, thanks to the Warriors’ No. 2 seeding in the eight-team bracket.

Game time will be 7 p.m. at Mike Whalen Field.

If Del Norte wins, it will get a second home game - in the semifinals - on Nov. 22 or 23, against the winner of this weekend’s Moreau Catholic-Miramonte game.

Del Norte coach Nick White knew a matchup with the Bulldogs was a strong possibility. He and his staff have been studying film of Alhambra since last week.

“It’s going to be a good test,” said White, in his first season as head coach. “They are a spread (offense) team, big up front.”

On paper, Del Norte would appear to have a big

edge.

The Warriors posted a 9-1 regular season record, winning their final five games and capturing the Big Four Conference championship with a 3-0 record. Del Norte closed its regular season with a 48-19 victory over Eureka.

Alhambra comes into the playoffs as the seventh seed, with a 5-5 record, losing four of its final five contests. The Bulldogs finished 0-4 in the Diablo-Foothill Conference and dropped its last game 56-7 to Acalanes.

Alhambra’s road record this year was 1-4.

White says that what happened in the regular season is essentially ancient history.

“It’s the playoffs,” White said. “Teams are going to play as hard as they can possibly play. If we don’t come ready to play, we go home.”

Alhambra started the season winning four of its first five. But in the second half of the year, the Bulldogs struggled, losing four games by lopsided scores.

Only a 49-7 victory over 3-7 Concord broke the skid.

While Del Norte’s

defense must deal with Alhambra’s spread offense - a style it saw in two of its final three games - the Bulldogs must face the Warriors’ rushing attack, which has been potent all season long.

Del Norte is averaging 7.5 yards per carry, led by junior Levi Cox-Cooley, who finished the regular season with 1,065 yards. Fullback Kobe Mitchell has battled some nagging injuries, but in his six full games, the senior has averaged 126 yards per contest.

The team’s No. 3 rusher, Chase Blackburn, is coming off a monster 255-yard performance against Eureka.

Quarterback O.J. Calleja has been efficient. The senior has connected on 60% of his passes, with eight touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Defensively, Del Norte’s front eight has been fierce, holding teams to just 11 points per game. The Warriors’ defensive backfield has bent at times, but rarely broken, coming up with a total of 11 interceptions.

The playoffs were delayed by one week after

power outages and fires in the Santa Rosa region forced teams to miss games. That postponement came as good news for the shorthanded Warriors, who were banged up at the end of the season.

Mitchell, Cox-Cooley and another two-way starter, Geo Gonzalez, were nicked a bit, but should be able to play Friday.

Speaking of getting healthy, 220-pound senior lineman Eli Larson is expected to be in the lineup against Alhambra after missing the entire season with a knee injury suffered last spring. That’s important, as Del Norte is somewhat shorthanded up front, with two starters out for the season.

“He’s looking good, on the D-line especially,” White said of Larson, an all-league selection as a junior. “He is like a kid in a candy store, just super excited to go.”

The game can be heard live on KPOD 97.9, with the Warrior Pregame show starting at 6:30 p.m.

Del Norte Notebook (playoff edition) . . .

By John Pritchett For The Triplicate Postseason awaits - Del Norte will take on Alhambra High of Martinez in the opening round of the North Coast Section Division 5 football playoffs. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. at Mike Whalen Field.

Season success - The Warriors’ regular season was capped with a 48-19 whipping of rival Eureka on Nov. 1, giving Del Norte the Big Four Conference championship. The Warriors finished with a 9-1 record, losing only to Mazama in Klamath Falls, 21-14.

Familiar place - Del Norte and the postseason are old friends. The Warriors have made the playoffs in 14 of the past 17 seasons, missing only in 2017, 2012 and 2009.

Opening success - The Warriors have been good in opening-round games of

n Rules Continued from Page A3 rants across from each

the playoffs in recent years.

After a first-round bye last season, Del Norte defeated Justin-Sienna High 37-21.

The Warriors won in the first round in 2016 (over John Swett), in 2014 (over Lower Lake) and in 2013 (Justin-Sienna).

Homecooking - Del Norte has won four of its past six playoff games at Mike Whalen Field.

Foe ahead? - If Del Norte advances to the postseason, it would face the winner of Friday’s Moreau Catholic-Miramonte game.

Del Norte opened the season with a 20-19 victory over Moreau Catholic in a game played in Hayward.

Moreau Catholic is the bracket’s No. 3 seed.

Humboldt-Del Norte - Three Big Four Conference teams advanced to the postseason. Along with Del Norte, Fortuna advanced, earning the No. 8 seed in Division 5. The Huskies travel to No. 1 seed Enci-

nal on Friday. In Division 6, St. Bernard’s is the No. 2 seed. It will play at home Saturday afternoon against Ygnacio Valley. Other regional teams include Arcata, which is an eighth seed and takes on top-seeded J.F. Kennedy, and in Division 7, Ferndale is a No. 2 seed.

As for Alhambra - The Bulldogs have had success getting to the postseason, advancing now six seasons in a row. However, Alhambra has lost in the first round in each of the past three years. It is worth noting that the Bulldogs have played in a higher division than Del Norte.

Playoff foes - Five of Del Norte’s nine opponents advanced to the postseason this year. Along with Fortuna, St. Bernard’s and Moreau Catholic, the two Oregon teams Del Norte played advanced.

However, both lost in the first round of the Oregon

State Athletics Association playoffs: Underdog La Salle Prep lost to Silverton 55-7, while second-seeded Mazama was shocked by Tillamook 19-14.

Balanced scoring - No recent Del Norte team has had the balanced scoring this year’s edition produced. Seven players have 30 or more points, led by Kobe Mitchell (78), Levi Cox-Cooley (72), Chase Blackburn (54), Kenji Adams-Lee (42), Geo Gonzalez (36), and Kaleb Price and O.J. Calleja (30 each).

Pick party - Del Norte now has 11 interceptions for the year. That compares to just seven last season, three in 2017, and seven in 2015. This year’s total does pale in comparison to the 2014 Warrior defense, which had 21 picks in 12 games, including eight by Steven Maready alone.

Finally, through public input to the process, it was suggested instituting a “lemonade exemption”

that didn’t place onerous regulations on youth stands. “We could develop something, a carve-out or exemption, for those under 18 or who are a part of charitable organization like 4-H or the Girl Scouts,” Olson said.

Council member Isaiah Wright was enthusiastic about an ordinance change that promoted an expansion to Crescent City’s mobile vending scene, especially food. “Some of the best food I’ve had is from food trucks in Portland. So, I’d like to see this opened up sooner rather than later,” he said.

Dave Gearhart agreed that amending the city’s mobile vending ordinance could lead only to good

things. “It will bring more business to town, bring excitement. I have half the businesses in town on the main roads that see my trailer, they want me there today. I have to tell them there’s rules I’ve got to follow.”

His wife agreed that this could lead to a growing cottage industry. “I think if people can see food trucks together in a central location, maybe people might notice, and say, ‘Hey, this might be something I can get into,’” Susanne Gearhart said.

Olson said the city staff would bring back a suggested ordinance for consideration in about a month.

Sea urchin invasion triggering environmental, economic havoc

By Jeremy C. Ruark Staff Writer

S

tate officials and fisheries managers are monitoring an explosion of purple sea urchins along the Oregon and California coasts.

“We haven’t seen this change in populations or levels of purple sea urchins before,” said Scott Groth, an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) project manager.

“With surveys extending back to the 1980s, we’ve never seen many purple sea urchins at deep sites.

Now, they dominate those areas.”

According to reports cited by the ODFW, the purple sea urchins have devoured much of the giant bull kelp forests in northern california and are now moving north along Oregon’s sea floor, threatening the local marine ecosystems.

Groth said the purple sea urchins are in competi-

tion with other species for the grazing of kelp beds.

“Most concerning would be their competition for food and space with abalones,” he said.

“These urchins have become more numerous (because of) good environmental conditions for recruitment events, such as temperature and currents, and the lack of their primary predator, the sunflower star, which went from very common to effectively absent following the 2014 sea star wasting event.”

It’s unclear, according to reports, whether climate changes have triggered the purple sea urchins explosion.

Dr. Cynthia Catton, a scientist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the impact of the purple sea urchin explosion has significantly impacted the California More Urchins on Page A7

Youth basketball gearing up for a new Del Norte season T

Del Norte Triplicate, Tuesday, November 12, 2019 - 5

Staff Report

T265799lA1112

he Del Norte County Recreation Department has announced sign-ups for its annual youth basketball program in Crescent City.

Youth basketball is what recreation coordinator Kelsey Bozeman describes as the department’s “flagship” program, attracting hundreds of local youngsters.

Bozeman said the program needs the participation of the local community to flourish.

“It’s really cool to just see our community come together and really be there for the kids,” said Bozeman.

The program begins Jan. 4 and runs each Saturday for eight weeks.

Both the practices and the games take place on the same days.

This year, they rec department has added a new program, Tiny TOTs (Teams of Tomorrow).

Starting Jan. 8, it will introduce children ages 3-5 to the basics of basketball and run for four weeks, rather than eight.

“Instructors will use a variety of modified approaches and fun games to foster children’s understandings of basketball,” said Bozeman.

“This is a true beginner-level class.”

Last year, the established youth basketball program had more than 700 participants from kindergarten to sixth grade, consisting of 64 different teams.

The rec department provides its own gymnasium, as well as using ones at Crescent Elk Middle School and Foursquare Church. “The local school district steps up and really helps us out, and so does Foursquare Church. We couldn’t do our program without them,” Bozeman said.

Community volunteers – usually, parents or grandparents - coach the kindergarten through fourth-grade teams, and high school basketball players coach the fifthand sixth-graders.

Bozeman said about 60 local businesses sponsor the basketball leagues through $100 donations, which brings the participation fee for the players down to $30 dollars, including the uniforms. At

the same time, those who are unable to pay are not excluded, she said.

The largest expense is for staffing, primarily to pay those who run the gymnasiums and keep score. For the most part, those positions go to local youth – often, their first job, Bozeman said.

Santa’s Workshop coming to town

Congressman chats with students at Crescent Elk school in Crescent City Staff Report

U

.S. Rep. Jared Huffman answered Crescent Elk Middle School students’ questions on politics, his job and issues facing Del Norte County on Wednesday, then encouraged the students to be active members of our democracy.

A massive piece of construction paper reading “Welcome Congressman Huffman” graced the front of Sarah Elston’s classroom, where she has been teaching about U.S. government. Before Huffman arrived, she had her students take

turns reading aloud the questions they had prepared for him.

Huffman, a Democrat representing California’s 2nd Congressional District, came to the school with no agenda other than to answer questions - which was good, because the students had many questions on a variety of issues. The first of which was on presidential impeachment proceedings.

“When I’m meeting with a school group like this, I’m not here to impose my politics on them, so I try to be very academic about it.

I try to discuss it in a fair and balanced way,

and I hope I did that for these young kids,” Huffman said.

He also answered questions about dams on the Klamath River, the most difficult aspects of his job, and the Last Chance Grade Project infrastructure plan.

Last Chance Grade is a collaborative effort to find a solution to U.S. Highway 101 landslides and instability. As this district’s representative, Huffman is one of the many lawmakers involved in the project.

In fact, his primary purpose for visiting Del Norte County on Wednesday was to attend scheduled meet-

ings on the Last Chance Grade.

In one of his early statements to the class, he said he believed they lived in one of the most beautiful areas in the world, to which one student indignantly responded, “What are you talking about? It‘s always foggy here!”

After a good laugh, Huffman agreed that fog was not his favorite climate condition, as his plane the night prior had to reroute to land in Medford because of fog, resulting in a twohour bus ride to Crescent City.

Del Norte Trail Alliance signs with design firm to help create new bike park here Staff Report

T

he Del Norte Trail Alliance has signed a professional services agreement with Trail Labs Co. of Mt. Shasta to design a bike park at Beachfront Park in Crescent City.

The bike park is a candidate for inclusion in Proposition 68 funding that Crescent City is applying for in January 2020, according to an alliance press release.

The first phase of the bike park could be finished by next fall,

said Del Norte Trail Alliance founder and president Joe Gillespie.

“This is an exciting development to have our community foundation step up and support a project that will give our youth a physically challenging outdoor activity that is fun for all ages,” Gillespie said in the press release.

“We look forward to putting on events that the whole community can participate in, to get people out on bicycles, especially kids and families.”

Contingent on city approval, the bike park

would be located between the Marine Mammal Center, the municipal sewage treatment plant and the dog park.

The design plan has been financed by the Wild Rivers Community Foundation.

Included in the agreement is an experiential training program with Del Norte High School students in the computer-aided design class taught by Adam Morris.

The Trail Labs Co. engineering and design team plans to introduce the concept of bike park planning and design, and engage students to apply their computer-aided design skills, to assist in determining shape and volume calculations for the project, and possibly a mock-up of the site plan.

The bike park would feature a pump track, which is a series of rolling hills and banked turns that cyclists can “pump” their bike over without having to pedal, gaining speed as they go.

The park may also

include a smaller “tot track,” essentially a miniature version of a pump track designed specifically for younger children on strider bikes.

Both pump tracks would be paved with asphalt to minimize maintenance, allow for all-weather use, and facilitate inclusion of other activities such as skateboards, scooters and roller skates.

Gillespie said part of the vision statement of the Del Norte Trail Alliance is to “enhance our recreation infrastructure to attract mountain biking tourists.” The group is working to develop new mountain bike trails on public lands, and volunteers to help with trail maintenance on public lands every third Sunday of the month.

hose writing letters to Santa need address their envelopes no further than Crescent City.

Santa’s Workshop will return for another year of spreading joy to the children of Del Norte County.

Last year, they served more than 1,200 children.

“We have been told over and over how wonderful this program is and how vital it is for [the children], and it makes a difference. It really does,” said Trish Hughes, the workshop’s organizer.

The workshop, held in the old Daly’s Building at 964 Third St., is a seasonal charity affiliated with Rural Human Services that helps families in need get Christmas presents for their children.

It works like this: Parents or grandparents can register children by bringing proof of income to the Third Street location from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning Tuesday. A “passport of services” from Social Services or a letter from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families will suffice as proof of income.

Once accepted, the child’s age and clothing size will be written on yellow and green paper mittens, then distributed to Christmas trees around town.

Stores such as Walmart and Aiden’s Toy Trove will display Christmas trees ornamented with the yellow and green mittens.

Those who wish to donate can take a mitten, purchase toys and clothing (with a limit of $40) and deliver it to the former Daly’s Building.

Hughes, a volunteer with Rural Human Services and a retired Joe Hamilton preschool teacher of 21 years, spearheads the workshop - and has for the past seven years.

With determination and passion, she organizes volunteers, enlists community members, categorizes gifts and ensures it flows as smoothly as if it were

run by ol’ Santa’s elves.

“I’ve been doing this ever since I retired and I love it,” Hughes said.

“This is a passion for me, because it is about the kids. And it’s so wonderful, because for some of the children, if we didn’t do the things that we can do here for them, they might not have a Christmas.”

Anyone is welcome to volunteer for whatever amount of time they can. Hughes especially needs volunteers once the presents start arriving, as they wrap all the presents in-house. They would like all the gifts to be turned in on Dec. 13.

“Whatever works for them, I’ll make it work,” Hughes said. “If you wanna come and put in any kind of time, come. We’ll make it work.”

In addition to gift donations, they welcome donations of tape, wrapping paper and other miscellaneous items for gift preparations. Hughes invites volunteers or donors to call her at 707-9514848 for specifics.

Another way to support the workshop is to attend the Indian Taco Fundraiser from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds. There will be tacos for $8 and fry bread for $4.

Hughes said donors bring the gifts, volunteers wrap the packages, Curt Lunsford of Toys for Tots brings toys from Brookings, and others deliver the packages to their pickup locations in Smith River and Klamath.

“That’s the thing about this community, they give,” Hughes said. “I’m amazed at the generosity. It’s just wonderful.”

Once the gifts are wrapped and organized, they are ready for pickup day. Pick up in Crescent City will be Dec. 19 and 20 at the former Daly building. For those who live in Klamath and Smith River, pick up will be on Dec. 20. Klamath’s will be at the Community Center and Smith River ’s will be at the fire station.

Pickup in Crescent City will be on Dec. 19 and 20.

Help sought in death of eagle by firearm O

regon State Police Fish and Wildlife troopers are asking the public’s assistance after a bald eagle was illegally shot and killed on Lower Cow Creek Road near West Fork Cow Creek Road in Douglas County.

At approximately 9 a.m. Nov. 7, Fish and Wildlife troopers said they responded to reports of a bald eagle that had been shot.

Examination by the troopers and personnel from Umpqua Wildlife Rescue determined the protected bird had been killed by a firearm a day or two earlier.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a reward of up to

$2,500 for information leading to a criminal conviction of the person(s) responsible for the shooting.

The bird is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Killing or possessing a bald eagle, or its parts, is a violation of both measures, punishable by imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of up to $100,000.

Anyone with pertinent information has been asked to contact Senior Trooper Kyle Bachmeier or Senior Trooper Curtis Weaver through the Turn in Poachers hotline at 1-800-452-7888, or *OSP (mobile).

New executive for cultural association Staff Report

T

he Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness has announced the hiring of a new executive director.

For the past three years, Stephanie Wenning led the organization and has moved to Orange County to begin a career at Chapman University’s Fowler School of Law. The association said Stephanie La Torre will be Wenning’s successor.

The organization’s vice president, Catherine Balck, said, “We conducted two rounds of interviews, and narrowed the field to two very qualified candidates.

In the end, we felt that Stephanie La Torre brought a wealth of arts experience, local knowledge, and a long-term vision for ways to maintain and grow our programs.”

La Torre most recently worked as an account executive at Bicoastal Media, and has an extensive

performing arts.

La Torre also has coursework in theater and history from Fullerton College, and has toured the West Coast as a vocalist.

“As a lifelong artist myself, I’m thrilled to be working with DNACA,” La Torre said in a press release.

During the transition time between Wenning’s departure and La Torre’s arrival, Wenning has been working remotely as the group’s executive director, keeping all programs running. A tempo-

Stephanie La Torre background in the nonprofit sector, event planning and

rary, part-time administrative assistant has provided regular office hours to the public and aided in a multitude of onsite tasks.

La Torre’s first day as executive director is Saturday, with office hours of 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office is at 501 H St., Suite 8 in Crescent City.

Construction begins on elevated walkway C

onstruction began Nov. 6 on a 1,300-foot elevated walkway through the Grove of Titans in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, part of Redwood National and State Parks in Del Norte County.

This work is phase one of a three-year, $3.5-million project organized and implemented by California State Parks, Save the Redwoods League, Redwood Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service.

The project, first announced in November 2018, was conceived to provide environmentally sensitive access

to the Grove of Titans and adjacent forest.

Thousands of visitors have been finding their way on “social trails” or unofficial pathways since the location of the grove was first shared online in 1998, which has caused considerable damage over time, according to a California State Parks press release.

“Instead of looking like a prehistoric and pristine forest, it’s been looking increasingly like the L.A. freeway system,” said Brett Silver, deputy district superintendent of California State Park’s North Coast Redwoods District.

“I know it will be frustrating for people not to have access during this extended construction period. We ask all visitors for their patience and cooperation, as we work to preserve and protect this incredible place for future generations to enjoy.”

The renovation project will establish official, safe access to the Grove of Titans; provide ecosystem protections for the trees; and provide visitor services and amenities, including a new restroom facility where the Mill Creek Trail meets Howland Hill Road, said the state parks agency.

During construction, the area around the Grove of Titans will be fenced and closed. Park visitors in violation of the posted closure will be subject to a citation, according to the parks system.

Mill Creek Trail will be closed from Howland Hill Road to the Smith River through the anticipated completion date of May 2021. Park visitors may use the nearby Boy Scout Tree, Nickerson Ranch, Little Bald Hills or Stout Grove trails, which are accessible from Howland Hill Road.

For more recommendations on trail alternatives to avoid the

potentially hazardous construction area, go to the California State Parks website at www. parks.ca.gov.

The Grove of Titans was identified deep in the old-growth forests of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in 1998. Following the unofficial publication of its location, in print and online, visitation increased dramatically over 20 years, with peak summer travel of 13,000 cars per month along Howland Hill Road, often resulting in gridlock.

The parks agency said that over the years, a complex web of “social” trails has formed,

with the resulting influx of foot traffic destroying understory plants and compacted soil.

California Parks said the unsupervised foot traffic has inhibited the uptake of water and nutrients by the shallow roots of the redwoods threatening the longterm survival of the Grove of Titans itself.

Additionally, unplanned trails can cause soil erosion and corresponding runoff affecting streams where coho and steelhead live, feed and spawn.

For more information, go to SaveTheRedwoods.org/Titans or GroveofTitans.org.

Symphony announces Youth Solo Competition Staff Report

T

he Wild Rivers Symphony is kicking off a new 2020 Youth Solo Competition.

Young musicians are invited to compete for a chance to perform with the Wild Rivers Symphony during one of its upcoming spring or winter concerts.

The competition will be divided into three categories:

n Urchins Continued from Page A4 recreational red abalone fishery, which was closed last year. That fishery contributed an estimated $44 million annually to the California coastal economy.

• Junior Division: Age 13 or younger at the time of the competition.

• Senior Division: Age 14 through 2020 high school graduates.

• College Division: Enrolled in Humboldt State or Southern Oregon university, or College of the Redwoods or Southwestern Oregon community college.

To enter, submit an entry application to the Wild Rivers Symphony office no later than Dec. 6. Both physical and electronic submissions are accepted. Email submis-

In Oregon, the ODFW has suspended abalone driver permits for three years.

Catton said due to the decline of the kelp forests, the red urchin fishery also has been hit hard, and she expressed concern about other species that will be affected by the decline in bull kelp, such as rockfish.

“We are seeing the im-

pact to red urchins and red abalone right away. Those are not subtle,” she said.

“But if we go too long without nursery habitat for rockfish species, we will be seeing those impacts as well.”

According to Catton, human intervention could be one solution. For the past three years, she has been working with the

sion to WildRiversSymphony@gmail. com, or mail to Wild Rivers Symphony, P.O. Box 1274, Crescent City, CA 95531.

Competition auditions will be held Jan. 11, 2020 at the Del Norte High School music room, 1301 El Dorado St. in Crescent City.

Judges may select winners in each division. From the division winners, the judges may select one or two grand-prize winners to perform with the Wild Rivers Symphony at one of its 2020 spring or winter concerts. Certificates of recognicommercial red urchin industry and local recreational fishermen to develop a program for harvesting purple urchins.

This project examines whether human intervention can play a role in helping shift the balance of the ecosystem back in favor of the kelp.

“The idea is that if there are fewer urchins in stra-

tion may be given at the judges’ discretion.

Judges have the discretion to select no winners in any division, or no grandprize winner, if the performances are not deemed ready or appropriate for the concert series.

tegic locations along the coast, the kelp may have an opportunity to recover and replenish bull kelp spore availability more broadly,” she said.

But human intervention might be questionable, according to Cal Poly University marine ecologist Benjamin Ruttenberg, who said there are other factors besides purple urchin pre-

dation that can limit kelp.

So even with extensive urchin harvesting, a recovery of the kelp ecosystem might not happen. At best, it might work on a small scale, but that would require continuous urchin harvesting and monitoring.

Catton said the efforts to control the purple sea urchins will need to be a long-term investment.

Veterans Day observance kicks off

Veterans Day observances kicked off Monday with a flag-raising ceremony by veterans Wayne Cook and Doug Plack at the Point of Honor memorial in Crescent City.

Plack then read off the names of Del Norte County service members killed in action, from present day through World War II. A patriotic parade followed, from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall down to the Point of Honor memorial, where VFW members paid tribute to Armistice Day. Photos by David Hayes and Jessica Goddard.
