Crescent City man found guilty of murder Hughes sentenced to 15 years to life for strangling wife in 2018 By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

A Crescent City man will spend at least the next 15 years in prison after being convicted last month of murdering his wife. Edward Culver Hughes, 37, was convicted by a Del Norte County jury of second-degree murder and cruelty to a child and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.

Assistant District Attorney Todd Zocchi prosecuted the case, which lasted eight days. Hughes was convicted of killing his wife, Emiley Tesch Hughes, who was last seen alive on Christmas Eve in 2018. Her body was not located until Valentine’s Day in 2019. During a preliminary hearing in July 2019, Dr. James Olson, a forensic pathologist from Oregon, testified Emiley Hughes

likely died from strangulation. Investigators say Edward Hughes killed his wife on Christmas Eve in 2018 and hid her body in a closet. Her body remained in the closet until it was discovered by Emiley’s 10-year-old son on Valentine’s Day 2019. A sheriff’s deputy testified that while being interviewed by police following his arrest in February 2019, Edward Hughes

gave three different stories on how his wife died. In the first story he told, Edward Hughes said he was trying to stop his wife from going out and using drugs when she struck him. He claimed he passed out and woke up to find his wife dead in bed next to him. In his second story, he told authorities his wife tried to strike him and in self defense he used his right hand and hit her in the

throat. He said she was alive but breathing strange when he fell asleep but dead when he woke up. In a third story, Edward acknowledged grabbing his wife by the throat and strangling her to death. Zocchi said Edward’s lies caught up to him at the trial. “He tried to give different stories,” he said. “At the trial, Please see Murder, Page A6

1 - Fast-moving fire forces evacuation of Gasquet area In September, a fast-moving fire caused havoc in Gasquet and other areas of Del Norte County. The Slater fire grew from 150 acres to 22,000 acres in one day, closed portions of Highway 199 and quickly moved toward Gasquet. As residents were evacuated, they met at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds. Due to COVID-19, the county was unable to house residents there. Eventually, the fire was controlled, and residents were allowed to return, but fire officials said the fire was within a few hours of reaching and destroying the community. Portions of Highway 199 were closed for 10 days but the fire stalled in the Oregon Mountain Road and Knopki Creek areas, which saved Gasquet. 2 - Human skeletal remains

found in Crescent City In January, the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office reported finding human remains in an abandoned camp trailer in Crescent City. The sheriff’s office was called to the trailer Jan. 9 and confirmed the remains were of a man. The remains were probably in the trailer for a year before they were found. At the time the body was found, sheriff’s investigators said

they likely knew who the man was, but they were waiting to notify next of kin and cause of death before releasing any more information. The man was later identified as Anthony Salazar.

There were 30 active cases in Del Norte County as of Wednesday. While the virus is raging across California, with close to 42,000 new cases reported Tuesday, Del Norte County continues to buck the trend. California has had 2.2 million confirmed COVID cases since the pandemic with more than

526-foot path over eight suspension bridges and 10 platforms that range from 50-100 feet above the ground. “The experience puts you into the canopy of the redwood trees,” park office manager Brenda Lopez explained. “There isn’t another canopy trail in old growth redwoods, anywhere.” 4 - Roseburg man killed in hit and run in Smith River

Majority recovering as COVID cases climb The Triplicate COVID-19 cases in Del Norte County continue to climb, but the vast majority are recovering without many problems. The Del Norte County Department of Public Health reported that over the long Christmas weekend, 28 new cases were reported with 13 of those linked

24,000 deaths linked to the virus. It remains one of the hot spots for COVID in the nation. Del Norte County remains one of 54 counties in the state in the purple tier for widespread use. Three counties, including neighboring Humboldt County, are in the substantial risk category with only one, Sierra County, in the moderate risk level.

With 2021 just around the corner, Crescent City’s leadership is looking ahead to what’s next. According to City Manager Eric Weir, a slate of economic development projects and strategic planning processes will help the city move out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its deep economic cuts. The year will start with the completion of a few highly visible projects in the city: In January, the city plans to reopen Front Street between B and F Streets, complete with an improved storm drain, new crosswalks and diagonal parking on the other side of a new meridian. And in February, the pedestrian improvement project on Sunset Circle is slated to open, connecting the harbor to the pedestrian bridge at Elk Creek. That will establish a seamless pathway between the harbor and the lighthouse pier, Wier said. “Hopefully, it’s a sign of a good 2021 to come,” Wier said. Aside from those infrastructure projects, and initiating the design of the Pebble Beach bank stabilization project, Wier said there will be three main areas of focus for city leaders in 2021: Economic development and recovery from the pandemic, the Beachfront Park master plan and the implementation of Measure S. Planning for economic resiliency One of the city’s key projects this year will be the completion of its Economic Strategic Action Plan, Wier said. The work started before the pandemic began, but the lost jobs, shuttered businesses and slowing of tourism have made it all the more important. “It’s definitely been highlighted by the pandemic,” Wier said. The goal of the project is to create a tool box of strategies — or “cookbook” of recipes, as Wier said — to promote economic development in the city. From those strategies, city leaders hope to recruit new businesses to the city, assist existing businesses and create jobs within the city. It could also include promoting the city state-, nation- and worldwide. Now that people and companies have learned how to effectively work remotely, Wier said Crescent City can become a work-from-home destination, with broadband capabilities and attractive natural resources. “That’s where a place like Crescent City is in a great position,” he said. “This is a great place to accomplish that.” The city will also be using new grant funds in the new year to promote economic development.

OBITUARIES Beverly Wayne Parsons May 1, 1924-Dec. 9, 2020

Beverly Wayne Parsons passed away at the age of 96 on December 9, 2020 in Carmichael California after a long illness. “Wayne” preferred to use his middle name throughout his life. Wayne was born on May 1, 1924 in Fort Dick, Del Norte County, California. His parents were Henry and Marian Parsons. He was the oldest of his siblings, Dale, Shirley and Gary. All the Parsons children were parented and raised in Crescent City by kind, loving, faithful and nurturing parents who upheld strong Christian values. Wayne graduated from Del Norte County High School in June of 1942. He excelled in his classes and received a special Shorthand Speed Certificate Award for writing one hundred words a minute without a single error. His proficiency in shorthand writing was a skill he used his entire life. After graduation he worked several months with his Dad in the family trucking business. He was inducted and enlisted into the US Navy in April 1943. He initially worked as an assistant office clerk with the US Engineer’s War Department in Crescent City, then went through basic training in Farragut Idaho. He continued his training in

Berkeley CA and worked for the Navy in several Naval Base installations as a records officer and office clerk. His office skills and shorthand expertise made him an asset to Navy Officers stateside throughout World War II. He received an honorable discharge from active duty in June 1946 and continued to serve in the Naval Reserve until June 1950. Wayne received several commendations and awards from his service in the Navy, including the American Area Victory Medal, the Honorable Service Award, and for proficiency in office records management. Following his discharge from the Navy Wayne used the GI Bill to enroll in the Business School at the University of CA at Berkeley. He graduated with honors with a BS in Business Administration in 1947. In 1947, Wayne met Arthur Gravatt in Carmel, California. They became fast friends that grew into a lifelong bond and relationship as partners that lasted for 63 years until Art’s passing in 2010. Together they shared a common interest in art, music, opera and theatre, classic cars, travel, family gatherings, home interior decorating, and much more. Both Wayne and Art

were instrumental in helping to establish the Packard Automobile Club in 1953 to help honor and sustain the legacy and reputation of the Packard Car Company, and to preserve classic Packard automobiles. The inspiration for the Club was Wayne’s purchase of his prized 1938 Packard Super 8 Limousine in 1951, which he owned for 70 years and has received numerous awards as an outstanding classic car. Following graduation from Berkeley, Wayne was hired by the Western Electric Company in San Francisco as a Management Trainee in 1947, which launched him into a 35-year career with the Company. During his tenure at Western Electric Wayne held many increasingly responsible positions as a Section Chief over Stock Maintenance, Plant Service, Receiving and Shipping, and Warehousing; and became a Senior Executive within the Company. During his career Wayne received many recognitions and awards for his skills as an innovator in new concepts and design in telephone apparatus and manufacturing, as a negotiator on resolving difficult business agreements, as an expert cost reduction analyst. While there, he also introduced new computer

technology to the company and corporate management decision making. Wayne was asked by Western Electric to serve as the company’s Loaned and Sponsored Executive for the San Francisco United Way in 1979. In this position Wayne helped to increase Bay area corporate and individual giving to United Way by more than 10% from the prior year, or nearly $3.2 million dollars - the highest increase in many years. Following his retirement from Western Electric, Wayne became an independent financial advisor and investor. He pursued a lifelong interest in the stock market and in developing sound financial practices for retirees and other investors. In many ways, Wayne was a true “Renaissance Man” with a keen intellect and diverse interests in business, the stock market, politics, the arts, playing classical music on his 1904 Steinway piano, attending Packard Club meetings and classic car events, and traveling throughout the country and overseas. Wayne’s greatest interests in life centered around life with Art, driving and showing off his 1938 Packard Limousine, playing his piano and attending every significant family event: celebrations, weddings,

graduations, anniversaries, retirements, Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings. He was especially devoted to caring for Art, his parents and his beloved siblings in their final years. Wayne Parsons set the standard by which one is genuinely loved, honored, respected and remembered in this life. He was a man of great character, honesty, integrity and kindness to others his entire life. He loved his family deeply and gave generously of his time, talents and resources to them, especially during their times of greatest need and adversity. He was a loyal and devoted friend that could always be relied upon for help, advice and wise counsel. Wayne was preceded in death by his partner Arthur Gravatt, parents Henry and Marian Parsons, his sister Shirley Zais, and his brothers Dale and Gary Parsons. He is survived by his sister-in-law Jean Parsons, Cousin Sharon Van Bebber, nephews Richard A Zais Jr and his wife Tammy, Gary

ly enlisted in the United States Navy. During his time of duty, Mike served during the Vietnam war on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, and later on the USS Sommers. Mike had many talents. As a teenager, he would take parts and pieces from numerous auto and motorcycle carcasses

and manage to build his own hybrid vehicle! When we were kids living at Elk River, I remember him taking a steering wheel off an abandoned car and running ropes through the center column and somehow securing the ropes into the axels of bicycle rims that he had attached to a piece of Dad’s old plywood, making the coolest cart to travel precariously down Berta Road! He was a genius! When we lived on Greenwood Heights, Mike’s creative talents continued to manifest, utilizing various motorcycle parts and pieces to build one patchwork bike, with a BSA chassis and Honda

filler-parts to hold it together. Mike, Dave Lockhart and I would ride Mike’s “bike” up and down Greenwood Heights Drive on a full moon night (without a headlight), laughing ourselves silly! Wherever Mike went, people followed. He was the “Pied-Piper” of every neighborhood we ever lived! Mike’s best friends growing up on Kneeland were Dave Lockart, Doug Gingrich, the Durnell family, and the Upton clan. When our Dad was transferred to Lake County in Mike’s senior year of high school, he continued to make friends, including Bobby Gentry, who would become one of Mike’s best

Halverson and his wife Susan, Hank Halverson and his wife Gena, Joseph Parsons, nieces Kathleen Oechsner-West, Marilyn Brandler and her husband Bruce, Susan Parsons Klein, and many great nieces, nephews, cousins and countless close friends and members of the Packard club throughout the United States and overseas. A Celebration of Wayne’s Life will be held later in Santa Rosa, CA. Gravesite Funeral Services for Wayne will be held outdoors at the IOOF Cemetery in Crescent City California on January 9, 2021 at 11:00 AM. Donations and memorial gifts in Wayne’s memory may be made to the Packard Motor Car Foundation in Shelby Township, MI, or the charity of your choice.

Remembering one of Del Norte County’s finest — Dr. Albert Halls This month, we remember our friend and faithful volunteer, the late Albert Halls, M.D., on what would have been his 93rd birthday. Many of his friends knew that Dr. Halls was a “walker;” he did not drive. He would track his mileage every day and every year he would have a total for the miles that he walked. Del Norte Reads was very blessed and fortunate when Dr. Halls came to volunteer his services as a tutor. Everyone who met Dr. Halls immediately

liked him and felt very comfortable with him. It did not matter what the subject material was, Dr. Halls eagerly assisted every student he worked with. It was not unusual for Dr. Halls to tutor five students one hour per week. The more difficult the trigonometry, the more Dr. Halls rose to the challenge. He also led a Bible study at his church and played the organ and the piano. Many patrons may not know that Dr. Halls was multi-linguistic and could

speak fluent German. He was also able to read French, Russian and Ancient Greek. Patrons also may not realize how passionate Dr. Halls was about medicine. He became an RN first and later earned his PhD in anatomy. It was after that, in which he became a medical doctor in family practice for 38 years. Dr. Halls’s autobiography in his words... “As I look back over 89 years, I realize why God led me into so many different professions as I wanted

to be an M.D. since I was three years old. Thus I was first a lab technician, then in sequence an R.N., PhD, (Anatomy), and then M.D.; I enjoyed being in all of them and now I can share my knowledge and experience as a tutor in nursing, anatomy and all aspects of medicine to students who wish to enter these fields. In addition to the above, I have had a great love of languages - German, French, Russian, Ancient Greek and Latin, and also of mathematics. So, I can

assist students who wish to pass the GED or to learn English as a second language. What a joy it is to see the light come on in the student’s eyes as he or she grasps the new knowledge. That is why I like working as a volunteer tutor for Del Norte Reads. To keep healthy, I walk daily. This year, I have walked 1,100 miles thus far, and I don’t have a pain or ache in my body.” Dr. Halls, your spirit and your talents are missed by all of us, today and every day.

Dr. Albert Halls

Roadway safety laws go into effect today As 2020 comes to a close, the California Highway Patrol wants to highlight new roadway safety laws that take effect. License points for distracted driving (AB 47, Daly; 2019): Using a cell phone in a handheld manner while driving is currently punishable by a fine. Beginning July 1, 2021, violating the handsfree law for a second time within 36 months of a prior conviction for the same offense will result in a point being added to a driver’s record. This applies to the violations of talking or texting while driving (except for hands-free use) and to any use of these devices while driving by a person under 18 years of age. Unattended children in motor vehicles (AB 2717, Chau): Exempts a person from civil or criminal liability for trespassing or damaging a vehicle when rescuing a child who is 6 years old or younger and who is in immediate danger from heat, cold, lack of ventilation, or other dangerous circumstances. “Move Over, Slow Down” amendments (AB 2285, Transportation Committee): Extends the provisions of the “Move Over, Slow Down” law currently in place on freeways to also apply to local streets and roads so drivers approaching a stationary emergency vehicle displaying emergency lights, including tow trucks and Caltrans vehicles, must now move to another lane when possible, or slow to a reasonable speed on all highways, not just freeways. Emergency vehicles (SB 909, Dodd): Allows authorized emergency vehicles to use a “HiLo” warning sound. This distinctive sound, different than a siren, would be used to notify the public of an immediate need to evacuate an area in an emergency. The CHP is currently developing regulations to standardize the Hi-Lo warning sound statewide. Until the regulations are adopted, law enforcement agencies can use the Hi-Lo warning sound by obtaining a permit from the CHP.

We don’t know future allocations but we think that there will be enough of our current projected tally (about 600 doses of both Pfizer and Moderna combined) to vaccinate many health care workers at the hospital, seniors in congregate living, staff taking care of seniors, many of our medical clinics in town, EMTs and first responders and potentially medical staff at the jail as well as some law enforcement personnel. The interest in the vaccine is increasing, but there has been some skepticism, and we did not think that it made sense to wait until everyone in the highest tier group who was still “on the fence” about it had made up their minds. We also have encouraged everyone

in this first vaccine rollout to not attempt to vaccinate everyone all at once, until we have direct experience with vaccine side effects. If you look at that list, you can see that our local focus is on medical personnel, and the persons who might be called to assist those in need of medical care from COVID, as well as the very highest risk of the high-risk group, our elders. There will be more vaccines to come, and we will keep moving down the list, and sometimes up the list, to groups that are not able to “take care of their own”, so to speak. We are going to be creating some vaccine teams this next month to start reaching other vulnerable groups, and we hope to be able to draw on the assistance of medical offices to reach our most vulnerable, the elderly (over 75 is the current goal, according to the Federal authorities). Outside of the people who need to care for them, the elderly are our biggest concern. We ask everyone to be

Letters to the editor

Vaccinations are just getting started

We have been getting a lot of calls about vaccines for COVID in Del Norte. We think it would be good to give a brief update. Like all the counties in California, we are gearing up, and are tackling the problem of vaccinating the groups of people that need to get vaccinated first. Our main goal is to get vaccine coverage for seniors in assisted living and skilled nursing, as well as the staff taking care of them. The other priority was to start vaccinating staff at Sutter Coast, who have direct patient contact. As with all new programs, there are some technical details that need to be worked out, but we have a way to access cold storage of our allocation, and we will have facilitated about 140 vaccinations by the end of today, mostly at Sutter Coast and Crescent City Skilled Nursing. We have already started moving down the list a bit, for those groups that are

patient, because this is a big project, and although we have put thought and effort into planning for this, the nature of the vaccine and the speed of the rollout before the release of the vaccine nationwide, has made planning a challenge. There is a lot going on all around the country this week, to modify plans and shift gears to accommodate vaccines and all the logistical issues that go with them. Until the vaccine is available to us at greater quantities, the vaccine will not be available for most Del Norters. We will continue to communicate with the public about who the vaccine is available to at each stage of this process. Thank you for your patience.

agree this has been an incredibly tough year. And while there are challenging days ahead, I’m firm in the belief that we’re going to get through this pandemic because we have each other. Through fires, floods and now this virus, we’ve always been stronger when we work together. We’re incredibly hopeful for the new year. With vaccines now being distributed in the state, brighter days are ahead after so much sacrifice and hardship by so many of our neighbors. That’s why, as we close out 2020 and look towards 2021, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Please know, while we may not always agree, we deeply value your insight and opinion and I hope

you’ll continue to reach out. It’s an honor to live and work in Northern California, here in the Golden State, with the most amazing people on earth – where every voice matters as we work to meet the unique challenges of this big and diverse district. We can’t thank you enough for being an active and engaged part of the important decisions that determine our future. Please let us know how we can provide assistance in the months to come. From all of us here in the office, here’s to better days ahead. Happy New Year! Warmest Regards, Mike McGuire State senator

Art from Pelican Bay prisoners to be displayed A6 | FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 2021

Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness will hang the Sixth annual Arts in Corrections exhibit, entitled “Art from the Inside VI,” on Jan. 14 at the Del Norte County Court House, located at 450 H St. in Crescent City. The exhibit will remain on display through March 3. The exhibit, part of DNACA’s Art in Public Places program, will feature artworks created in visual arts workshops held at Pelican Bay State Prison. Varying experience levels and techniques will be on display in this exhibit. The AiC program provides arts workshops inside all 33 California state prisons, in visual, literary, media and performing arts, as well as cultural, folk and traditional arts. Since 2013, the California Arts Council has administered the AiC program in partnership with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. It is the nation’s only state-run prison arts program. The goal of the program is to reduce recidivism, as well as prevent violence in prisons, by providing transformative arts expe-

riences in nontraditional settings. Locally, DNACA has partnered with the William James Association since 2014 to help bring art workshops to PBSP for this purpose. “I continue to be inspired by the experience of walking into a grey and dreary prison, through the clanking gates, past the racially segregated groupings on the yard and into the art studio where there is color and life, camaraderie, creativity and hope,” said William James Association Executive Director Laurie Brooks. With COVID-19 halting all in-person visitation at the prison in 2020, AiC coordinating organizations worked toward finding new ways to continue providing arts programming. “At PBSP, with support from Community Partnerships staff and CDCR officials, we were able to provide arts instruction via correspondence courses,” says teaching artist July McNiel, who leads visual arts workshops at the prison. “Hundreds of AiC participants inside have continued their arts practice and study through

This translates to individuals being useful and valued

members of the community. Brooks agrees study of the arts can and should be an integral part of the rehabilitative process. “It is a profound experience to watch a program participant change from a person with nothing to lose to an artist with something to give,” she said. DNACA’s Art in Public

Places program presents art exhibits that promote local artists and imported artists of all ages, cultural backgrounds and all arts media by displaying their works in a prominent public place in order to raise the arts awareness of the community. The exhibits are currently on display at the Del Norte Court House, and at the Crescent City

Airport. Exhibits rotate regularly. DNACA is funded in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Learn more at www.arts.ca.gov. For information, visit www.dnaca.net, call 707464-1336 or email office@ dnaca.net.

a month. Sheriff’s deputies began investigating in early February after a missing persons complaint was filed. They went to the home but no one was home, and they were unable to enter without a warrant. On Valentine’s Day, Emiley’s mother and 10-year-old son went to the home and the child found

his mom’s body while looking for something in the closet. Sheriff’s deputies were called and entered the home to find Emiley’s body. After searching for Edward for several days, he was located and arrested Feb. 18. In July 2019, Judge Robert Cochran ordered Edward to be held over to stand trial.

Zocchi said he was pleased with the verdict and the sentence, noting the 15 years to life range is the maximum allowed for second degree murder. “He was found guilty as charged,” Zocchi said. “He will not get released unless the parole board determines he’s rehabilitated. If not, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.”

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

NEW START TO A NEW YEAR BRINGS HOPE FOR BETTER DAYS DEAR READERS: Welcome to 2021! The new year has arrived, and most of us are beyond grateful to leave the last one behind. The worldwide pandemic has sadly touched all of our lives. But this new year brings with it our hope for a new beginning. Today presents an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions -- which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon: JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through THIS DAY ONLY. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set

business assistance loans will be distributed throughout Del Norte County, and a $100,000 grant from the California Endowment will support the Economic Resiliency Task Force. Economic resilience is what Wier said will help the city weather whatever major challenges or disasters come next. “Hopefully, once you get through whatever the situation is, you get out on the other side even stronger,” he said. The task force has already started working, and Wier said the collaboration between city, county, tribal, nonprofit and private organizations has been one of the greatest lessons learned throughout a difficult 2020. “Part of it is the relationships that have been formed throughout the pandemic,” Wier said. “Once you go through something like that, it really forges relationships and partnerships.” Developing a unique resource at Beachfront Park Also high on the city’s list of projects in the new year is a preparing to overhaul much of Beachfront Park. The project is tied to economic development, since a re-imagined park in a prime waterfront location could be a major draw for tourists, new residents and businesses alike. “They go hand-in-hand when we’re talking about Beachfront Park,” he said. “That’s what Beachfront Park is.” Earlier this month, the city council reviewed a

far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. JUST FOR TODAY: I will decide to be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine. JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept

draft of a master plan for the park. It was designed by an outside firm with input from community outreach, interviews and focus groups, parks and recreation staff told the council. The plan, in its current form, includes many of the elements that arose from those conversations, including a cultural area reflecting on the history of the Tolowa people who inhabited the land, new equipment in Kids Town, an amphitheater, sports fields and a bike park, among other improvements. “This park will be a multi-functional park that will sustain our current community as well,” Wier said. Still, that’ll take planning and financial support. Wier said the master plan should be completed in February, and the city will apply for state grant funding up to $8.5 million in the spring. Implementing Measure S The city’s third key project in the new year will be the implementation of Measure S, approved in November’s general election. The measure, which imposes a 1% sales tax increase, will take effect in April, and the Wier expects the city to start receiving funds in June. Between now and then, he said the city has work to do to prepare for how to spend the new revenue. Some plans are already in place, but the city has more community outreach to do to prioritize how the new money will be spent. “In this first year, as we really get going, we’ll have a series of workshops,”

those I cannot. JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer. JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today, I will refrain from improving anybody but myself. JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. And I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block. JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is

right and take responsibility for my own actions. And now, Dear Readers, allow me to share an item that was sent to me by L.J. Bhatia, a reader from New Delhi, India: DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say, “Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature.” The prayer of St. Francis (of which there are several versions) contains a powerful message: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. And so, Dear Readers, may 2021 bring with it good health, peace and joy to all of us. -LOVE, ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Oneofthelargestprogramsslatedtobefinishedin2021includescompletingworkonFrontStreet.CrescentCitywillalsobeginreceivingnewtax revenue from Measure S, some of which will be used to benefit the fire department. Wier said. Those workshops in February and March will elicit community input of the four key areas the measure’s revenue is supposed to support: The city’s police department staffing shortages, street repairs and improvements, the city’s pool and creating a sustainable fire department. The police department will likely be the first set of priorities to iron out, Wier said, followed by the prioritization of street repairs. Planning for keeping the Fred Endert Municipal Pool open will take more time, since it’ll remain closed due to the pandemic for some time. Once reopened, Wier said he hopes it’ll become a destination for tourists and locals alike. Figuring out how to fund a sustainable fire

department in the city will take time, too, since some planned funding from the Crescent Fire Protection District won’t be coming to support the department. Along with the workshops, there’s another chance for community

input on the spending of Measure S funds: The City Council will appoint five residents to the Measure S Oversight Committee. Applications for the advisory committee are available on the city’s website at crescentcity.org and are

due Jan. 22. In all, Wier said city staff will be busy with major projects, but optimistic about what’s in store for a new year. “We have a full plate, and we have a dedicated staff as well,” Wier said.

Triplicate File Photos

The Pacific Ocean was raging last weekend as heavy waves pounded the coast. In Crescent City, the big waves were perfect for surfers who wanted to get a ride in toward the sand.

Remembering 2020 in pictures

In January, before the world changed with COVID-19, the Del Norte Warriors basketball team was competing.

In July, staff were tested for COVID-19 at Pelican Bay State Prison. In May, Lance Nichols, eighth grade homeschooler from Castle Rock Charter School, shows off at the skatepark.

Julie Solus (left) and Cindy Hoffman sit on the back patio at Enoteca for lunch July 22 while the governor’s ban on dine-in options is in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
