More condors released over the redwoods

THE TRIPLICATE

Two more Northern California Condors are flying over the redwoods thanks to the Restoration Program. Earlier this month, the two condors were released over Yurok Tribal lands.

The birds include A6 and A7. A6, a male, was born on May 22, 2021, at the Oregon Zoo’s Jonsson Center for Wildlife Conservation. A7, a female was born on June 2, 2021, at the Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds of Prey.

“I can’t wait to see A6 and A7 join the six condors in the wild,” said NCCRP Manager and Yurok Wildlife Department Senior Biologist Chris West. “Condors are an extremely social species that learn from each other. The previously released birds are adapting well to their new environment and I expect they will teach A6 and A7 how to do the same.”

For the release, NCCRP biologists implemented a multistep procedure to ease the juvenile birds’ transition into the wild. The process begins at dawn, as the light fills the area around the enclosure. Before full-light, NCCRP will open the door to a baited enclosure, or trap, attached to the flight pen. This door will remain open until one or

Warriors fall to the Wildcats to end memorable season

BY RAY HAMILL For The Triplicate

Another memorable football season for the Del Norte Warriors concluded on Saturday, as they fell 20-7 at Marin Catholic in the North Coast Section Division-4 playoffs.

After being moved up a division this year because of their recent success in the postseason, the Warriors competed well and followed their lopsided win at Tennyson last week by giving No. 1 seed Marin Catholic all it could handle.

The Del Norte defense was outstanding and held the Wildcats to their lowest points total of the season and to less than half of their season average of 46.4 points a game.

Ultimately, however, the No. 4 team in the entire section proved to be just too strong.

“I thought our kids played amazing,” Del Norte head coach Nick

White said. “They gave everything they had. When you play a team like Marin Catholic, everything’s hard.”

The top seeds, who improved to 12-0, will now advance to play No. 3 Cardinal Newman in the NCS championship this weekend, while the Warriors close out their season with a record of 9-2.

“My kids played their hearts out,” White said. “We stepped up to the challenge of playing the top team in Division 4, and not only that, but playing the No. 4 team in the section, and it’s just great to see how our program has grown.”

The season will go down as another successful one for a Del Norte team that is setting the standard in the H-DNL and one that claimed a third consecutive Big 4 championship this fall.

The Warriors followed that with

Sharing the beach with Western Snowy Plovers

THE TRIPLICATE

Breeding season for federally threatened Western snowy plovers has officially come to an end. This doesn’t mean that plovers get to relax and enjoy the fall and winter seasons with pumpkin spice lattes or eggnog, however. Instead, plovers must continue to forage for food and work to stay warm and protected from the elements.

As fellow beach goers, our actions matter to Western snowy plovers, even when they are not breeding. Research shows that day-to-day stress can impact the outcome of their next breeding season. The actions of people can affect the well-being, health and reproductive

fitness of snowy plovers, and so their overall survival.

The good news is that you can help minimize impacts to plovers through some simple practices.

Dogs - Know beach-specific dog rules before you go. If dogs are permitted, follow the leash rules. Do not allow your dog(s) to chase birds.

Space - Leave space for wildlife and enjoy birds from afar; don’t approach or chase them. Doing so may decrease their stored energy reserves and prevent them from foraging.

• Walk on the wet, hard-packed sand below the wrack line (i.e., the line of debris left by the high tide) where plovers forage.

• Respect all posted signs and/or roped-off areas for the protection of wildlife.

Trash - Pack out trash, don’t leave or bury it. Garbage attracts predators such as ravens, crows, gulls, and skunks. Please dispose of all trash properly and do not inadvertently or intentionally feed wildlife.

Vehicles - If you’re on a beach that allows vehicles, drive ‘low and slow,’ staying on the hard-packed sand below the wrack line that plovers forage near.

• Avoid driving over old vehicle or foot tracks as plovers like to rest or “loaf” in these and are extremely hard to see.

Camping - Camp or build fires only in designated areas.

Warriors

a 50-14 win at Tennyson to kick off the playoffs despite being handed a lower seed than the Hayward school.

White will lose 17 seniors from this team to graduations, all of whom were freshmen when he took over as head coach in 2019.

“Really, really good human beings,” the coach said of the senior class. “They’re great kids, they have a great attitude and they worked extremely hard. I couldn’t be prouder of them.”

One of those seniors, Ethan Thomas, scored his team’s only touchdown of the day on a pick-six early in the second half, his fifth interception of the season.

Senior kicker Daniel Gonzalez added the PAT and the Warriors led 7-6.

It had been a defensive game for much of the first half, with the home team finally breaking the deadlock just seconds before halftime.

After the Warriors took the lead in the third, the Wildcats responded almost immediately, scoring their second TD less than two minutes later.

Peacock Bar renamed and given new signage

Redwood National and State Parks and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation have collaborated to rename Peacock Bar. In 2019, the governor of California established the Truth and Healing Council in an effort to reexamine the historical relationship between the State and Indigenous People. As a result, on Sept. 25, 2020, California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, State Parks Director Armando Quintero, and Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin announced a series of actions to identify and redress discriminatory names of features attached

to the state park and transportation systems. With the support of local organizations such as True North Organizing Network, the Nation and the parks are installing new signage to acknowledge the original Tolowa name of Peacock bar, See-tr’ee-ghindvm-dvn, which translates to: ‘the place the trail goes down by the rock.’

See-tr’ee-ghin-dvm-dvn (formerly Peacock Bar) is a well-known day use area in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, located just off Highway 197 in Del Norte County. Tolowa people inhabited three villages: See-

tr’ee-ghin-dvm, Mvn-srayme’ and Datlh-t’uu-k’wvt, along this landscape. These villages were in an area known for some of where the largest redwoods in Del Norte County were later be fallen, those trees were also roosting places of the Pacific Northwest Condor.

In the 1850s, a man by the name of George Peacock immigrated to the area and took over the village of See-tr’ee-ghin-dvm.

Peacock gained control of the critical Smith River ferry crossing and attempted to evict the Tolowa families who inhabited See-tr’ee-

ghin-dvm; when the Tolowa refused to leave they were executed and their orphaned children were kept as indentured servants. The acknowledgment and use of the original name for the site, See-tr’ee-ghin-dvm-dvn, reflects the first inhabitants, the Tolowa Dee-ni’, and a first step in correcting the historical narrative.

See-tr’ee-ghin-dvm-dvn is a beautiful place on the river with natural and cultural resources. We invite the community to see the newly installed sign and continue to recreate responsibly in this pristine landscape.

They would add a third TD before the end of the quarter and that was more than enough for their defense.

All three of Del Norte’s standout running backs were held in check, with RJ Loftin rushing for 66 yards on 11 carries, Giancarlo Desolenni adding 17 yards on 10 carries and Aden Mintonye finishing with 17 yards on eight carries.

“We needed to run the ball a little better than we did, that’s our strength all year, but their defense was the best we’ve played all year,” White said.

Condors

From page A1

both pre-release birds enter the enclosure and when one or more of the previously released prey-go-neesh are present at the facility or near it. The presence of free-flying birds signals to the captive condors that it is safe to exit the flight pen. Once the wild birds are present and one or more of the target birds are feeding on the bait in the trap, the door between the main flight pen and the trap will be closed. Then, a second door will be opened and the birds will have access to the outside world. If only one condor walks into the staging area and the other stays in the flight pen for a certain period of time, NCCRP will release one bird. Depending on the time of day, there may be an attempt to release the second bird. If an initial release does not occur, or if only one bird is released on day one, a sec-

ond attempt will be made the following day. The condors must voluntarily enter and exit the staging area. The timing of the release is wholly dependent upon the birds’ actions. Additionally, young, captive-raised prey-go-neesh are incredibly cautious. The first release unfolded in a few hours. The second and third releases took multiple days.

The six released condors are beginning to explore the redwood region. Within the last month, the birds greatly expanded their range from a fairly confined area within a few miles of the release site to more 30 miles away. The young condors have spent time near Horse Mountain in Six Rivers National Forest and soared above Big Lagoon and Stone Lagoon on the coast.

They have also taken several trips to Bureau of Land Management property in Lacks Creek, which is approximately 20 miles northeast of Eureka.

On May 3, NCCRP released the first condors to fly over Yurok skies in more than a century. In the following months, the program released four more birds. Yurok Wildlife Department Director Tiana Williams-Claussen selected Yurok names for each condor, which include: A0, Ney-gem’ ‘Ne-chweenkah (She carries our prayers); A1, Hlow Hoo-let (Finally, I/ we fly); A2, Nes-kwe-chokw’

(He returns/arrives); A3, Poy’-we-son (The one who goes ahead); A4, Cher-perhl So-nee-ne-pek’ (I feel strong); and A5, Neee’n (Watcher). A6 and A7 will receive Yurok names after their release.

The staggered release is one component of a comprehensive plan to ensure the success of the young birds.

NCCRP, a partnership between the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks, plans to reintroduce one cohort of prey-go-neesh every year for at least the next two decades. The tribe and park collaboratively manage the new population.

The Yurok Tribe and Prey-go-neesh

The Yurok Tribe initiated the condor reintroduction project in 2008. The restoration of this sacred species is an important component of the Tribe’s environmental and cultural restoration work. In addition to the reintroduction of the critically endangered condor, the Tribe is currently restoring fish and wildlife habitat on a large-scale in the Klamath River and Sacramento basins. The Tribe is also intimately involved in the pending removal of four Klamath River dams, which represents the largest river restoration project in US history. The removal of the dams will benefit a wide diversity of

fish and wildlife species, including condors.

With funding support from the Yurok Tribe, Redwood National Park, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Administration for Native Americans, as well as Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Global Conservation Fund, the Redwood National Park Foundation, and many more corporate, agency and private supporters and citizens, the Yurok Wildlife Department completed a vast volume of work to prepare for the reintroduction of this imperiled species. Working in cooperation with the Ventana Wildlife Society, Redwood National Park, California State Parks, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as well as volunteers, the Tribe designed and built the NCCRP release and management facility.

The flight pen includes a simulated, shock-wired power pole (to teach the birds to avoid this threat after release), two four-foot diameter pools, and perches overlooking old-growth redwood forest. NCRRP staff monitor the birds from modified shipping containers which form a fire-resistant observation structure. The facility also allows biologists and technicians to conduct regular health assessments and provide medical treatment, if necessary.

Fish and wildlife reopens license sales offices throughout state

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is pleased to announce the reopening of many of its license sales offices following their closure in 2020 to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Hunters, anglers and other members of the public can once again visit these CDFW sales offices to purchase hunting and fishing licenses, tags, report cards, hunt applications, lands passes, Warden Stamps and other CDFW offerings. Customer service representatives are available once again in-person to answer questions.

CDFW’s six license sales offices are located in Eureka, Rancho Cordova, Fairfield, Stockton, Fresno and San Diego. Locations and hours are available on CDFW’s website. CDFW licenses, permits, tags and other entitlements may be also purchased through the following sales channels:

• Online via CDFW’s Online License Sales and Services website

• Over the telephone through CDFW’s authorized telephone sales agent at (800) 565-1458, and

• Through an authorized independent license sales agent (ex: local sporting goods store, large discount store, or bait and tackle shop).

CDFW’s Redding sales counter remains closed though customer service staff are available in-person to validate hunting tags, answer questions and provide and receive applications to be fulfilled by mail.

Following the relocation of CDFW’s License and Revenue Branch to the California Natural Resources Building in downtown Sacramento in October 2021, license sales and customer support continue to be available by phone, mail, fax, email and through the internet.

Nancy Lewis Huntsman (1954-2022) passed away on October 21, 2022, following a long battle with cancer. Nancy was an extraordinary woman of unsurpassed energy, an intrepid pilot, and someone who lived with an infectious zest for life that was felt by

everyone who knew her.

Born in Oakland, California in 1954, she later moved to Crescent City, where she earned her pilot’s license while still in high school.

Nancy went on to the University of Utah where a chance decision her senior year led to her spending three years in Japan and developing a fluent knowledge of Japanese, as well as lifelong friendships.

This followed a pattern that persisted throughout her life: wherever she went, and whatever she did, she made deep and lasting friendships along the way.

After returning to the United States, she earned her MBA at Columbia University before going onto a career at Citibank.

Later in life she found love and married Alonzo Blaine Huntsman Jr., with whom she had two children, Stewart and Merodean Huntsman.

She continued her whirlwind life, serving on the boards of Target Bank and the

Salt Lake City Airport, writing op-eds for her local paper, and traveling the world.

Late in 2019, after being diagnosed with cancer, Nancy set about pursuing her mantra of “full throttle living” and seizing every moment to the fullest. In 2021, she found love a second time and married Kenneth Hansen, with whom she enjoyed a spectacular year of travel and adventure, from the piazzas of Italy to the rolling emerald hills of Ireland.

In an inspiring display of living, she was still traveling, and enjoying concerts up in her beloved Teton Valley, Idaho, less than a month before the end.

Amidst all this, she also found time to write, produce, and narrate a short documentary about her family’s conservation work in Idaho, one of her lifelong passions.

Her life, too large, joyful, and adventurous to be summed up in an obituary, was one lived to the absolute

fullest.

Nancy is survived by her two children, Stewart and Merodean, her husband, Kenneth Hansen, her seven stepchildren, Lon, Scott, Heidi, Lisa, Beach, and Richard Huntsman, and Matthew Hansen, her mother Deaun Reilly, her brothers Jeff, and Doug Lewis, her nine grandchildren, and her beloved dog Hektor.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Teton Regional Land Trust. Donations may be made online at https://tetonlandtrust.org/ donate/ (you may choose “Dedicate this Donation” to donate in Nancy’s name) or by mailing a check with “In Memory of Nancy Huntsman” in the notes to Teton Regional Land Trust, P.O. Box 247, Driggs, ID 83422.

A celebration of life will be held at the Utah Museum of Natural History on February 11, 2023.

Public land — a true blessing

By DAVE MARSTON

At every Thanksgiving dinner, my family asks everyone around the table to say what they’re grateful for. It puts new guests on the spot, so sometimes they just thank the hosts — an easy out that makes it harder for anyone else struggling for a good answer. I’ve been in that position, but this year I know what I’m grateful for.

That’s because after years away, I’m back in the West, living in western Colorado, near millions of acres of public land. If the love of wide-open spaces defines a Westerner, then our region gives us lots to love.

Alaska, which is 95.8% public land, may be king among all states, with so much wide-open space available to everyone, but Nevada is close behind at 87.8%, and Utah is next at 75.2%. Idaho ranks third at 70.4%, and Colorado has 43.3%, with most of that land west of the Continental Divide.

Until moving back West, I hadn’t thought about public land being vital for anything as basic as cutting firewood. Yet in most states without much accessible public land, firewood is an expen sive proposition. Here, from May through October in Colorado, it’s ours for the permit, which costs about $4 to $10 for a cord of wood. That’s enough to fill a full-size pickup bed four feet high.

How much do you need? I’m told three cords add up to “just getting by” in Montana or Wyoming, but true winter wealth is more like six cords. While you’re gathering wood, you can also scout for a Christmas tree. That requires just an $8 permit — a world away from pricey conifers grown on a tree farm.

Writer Dave Stiller’s firewood-gathering advice is to take blowdowns or the slash piles left by logging companies. Once you’ve finished gathering, according to the Forest Service, “revisit and monitor the effects of your harvest... Become a steward of that place as you study the plants and how they respond.” In other words, think like an owner who cares about the land over the long haul.

Patrick Hunter, a Sustainability Studies student at Colorado Mountain Community College in Carbondale, thinks our public lands embody a “generational legacy” that’s become a cornerstone of our democracy. From young to old, the diehard fans of public lands are volunteers from nonprofits who “adopt” a trail, construct ing and advocating for them.

Political cartoonist Rob Pudim tells of hiking a trail he’d worked on for several summers and feeling an onrush of possessiveness: “I own this land,” he recalls thinking. In a way, he’s right. We do own this land, though it is managed — even if we rarely see a ranger — by federal agencies.

No one knows how many people have gone to public land with one solemn purpose: to throw ashes of their dead into a stream or launch them into the air from a mountaintop, a practice that’s allowable in most Western states’ national forests. It forever con nects someone to that particular place outdoors.

And for a lot of us, the best of life can be what happens during a summer of camping, mushroom hunting, fishing, wildlife watching or just “getting out there.” Some hunters also become advocates for wildlife and public lands, championing public access.

Still, the damage we’ve done to public lands in the West is visible and remains — mining, drilling, dam building, nuclear bomb testing, dumping nuclear waste piles along rivers and other sensitive places. Because of that legacy, the Superfund program, finally established in 1980, aims to restore these lands, some so altered that no real fix is possible.

Public land also serves as a link to modern history. Throughout the West we can still see architectural marvels built by Indigenous peoples hundreds of years ago. And ghost towns that were once small cities continue to fascinate us as we think about the econom ic jolt that triggered their abandonment.

Today, we’re experiencing a similar jolt as increasing aridity alters how the West works. Or doesn’t work. Meanwhile, as we struggle to figure out what we’ve got to do to adapt, at least I know what I’ll say this Thanksgiving. I am forever grateful to the public land that gives us room to breathe.

Eye on Del Norte

Two Guys will be missed

A little bit of this…a little bit of that, lots of history in Del Norte County. Two Guys was once four guys, brothers Jake and Mike Ritter, Tom Kraft and passed away ”Big Mike” Evans of Red Hawk road . Tom continues to operate the highly successful Chimney Kraft. Jacob and Mike are closing their doors next week after 42 years. Impressive!

I’ll miss Two Guys aka TG Mfg. The business began in 1979 as a carpet cleaning business in Ft. Dick. Jake was a 15 year Costa Mesa Fire man and sometimes-metal fabricator. In 1980. Jake and “Big Mike” Evans established Fire Furn, manufacturing wood stoves. The carpet care busi ness continued for a few more years.

Younger brother Mike was a mort gage lender from Orange County. He moved up in 1984 to help develop the growing business. Two Guys opened its Hot Springs Spa business shortly thereafter. As Mike modestly told me, “ You have to be versatile if you want to be successful in Del Norte County.”

Success followed the brothers into the 90’s in muffler and auto repair and by the 2000’s, Two Guys entered the car rental business and high-quali

View from the left

ty used car sales. Mike quipped. “We’re just about our Father’s business.” Excuse me, your Dad? “No, we’re waiting for Him to ready that big house for us. “ Ah, yes. Now, I understand.

As Jake and Mike and employees close Two Guys, their passion and love for God through Solid Rock Christian Fellowship in Crescent City is profound, palpable and continuous. As a Jewish man, I love talking about my culture of near 6,000 year heritage and Judeo-Christianity. I’m certainly no expert on religion and the Ritter brothers were none too shy to share their love and reverence for God and Solid Rock. We very respectfully share our opinions and thoughts. I like that.

As a long time customer of Two Guys, I was amazed by the skill set this business displayed and over whelmed by the high level of ethics ingrained into how the brothers con ducted business. My experience with Two Guys is based on trust, through and through. In November, 2020, torrential, horrendous winds blew the roof of my home and leveled my 25’ log flag pole. With the appreciated help of Crescent Ace Hardware and

TG Manufac turing, Two Guys fabricat ed a founda tion brace for my flag pole AND with the skill set of good friend Mario Westphal, my American Flag was proudly up and flying.

Two Guys Spa repair was a lesson how not to squander money on less ethical businesses which shall not be mentioned in this piece.

Indeed, I will miss Two Guys. The services provided by both the broth ers is without compare.

Is Two Guys a dying breed of business? Sadly, I observe yes. Fair-minded, trustworthy, indepen dent businesses are rapidly becoming obsolete, replaced by ubiquitous box stores and shameless avarice-driven war-with- the public like owners who lack more than a thumbnail of knowl edge the Ritter brothers possess. Good Luck Two Guys. I’ll miss you.

Partnerships make progress

Why should our Governor, Con gressman, State Senator and Assem blymember help us when we did not support them? This is the question I asked in my last column to local voters who did not support the Dem ocratic candidates that ultimately won in the general election.

This week I will answer that question. These people genuinely care about the needs of our county. We should recognize their sincere efforts to help and continue to work with them as partners.

Governor Newsom was instru mental in fostering a negotiated agreement between PacifiCorp, the Karuk Tribe, Yurok Tribe, California, Oregon, conservation groups and commercial fishing groups for the removal of four dams on the Klamath River. Final approval was just secured to start dam removal in 2023 which will restore the salmon fishery that so many rely on.

Congressman Huffman has been persistent in helping to find funding for Last Chance Grade and harbor dredging. Assemblymember Wood has used his experience to advocate for policies that will reduce the cost and improve the quality of rural healthcare.

Last Thursday (11/17), I attended an event at the Del Norte High School where our State Senator Mike Mc Guire announced that he had secured an appropriation of $2.5 million to jumpstart the design and construction of a local performing arts center.

This progress was made possible due to a partnership with the Del Norte Unified School District and a new non-profit called Partnership for the Performing Arts. The performing arts center will be a 1000 seat facility that will provide multiple benefits to our community, including economic development.

The Del Norte Center for the Performing Arts will first and fore

most be dedicated to supporting arts education curriculum. Local music, dance, theater and fine arts students will benefit from an on-campus pro fessionally designed auditorium for performances.

The Center will also provide a lo cal venue for professional performing artists as well as showcasing local and regional talent. Regional businesses will benefit from increased economic activity that comes with performanc es, conferences and special events. This building will also serve as an emergency evacuation center that is outside the tsunami danger zone.

This project was initiated by Nick and Lisa Rail. Nick learned his love of music at local schools and went on to start a successful music retail busi ness which provided instruments to schools and families across southern California. After Nick and Lisa sold their business, they committed the entire proceeds to support performing arts in public education.

The Rails committed the first million dollars to get the fund started to build the performing arts center. Since then there has been another $1 million dollars in additional pledges. The school district has committed the land to build it on. This partnership between a non-profit group and a government agency is a good model for how take on a large scale project and follow it through to completion.

This brings us back to Senator Mike McGuire. Think about how phenomenal it is that our Senator has the juice to allocate $2.5 million from the State general fund for a Del Norte County project. This year Senator McGuire was named Senate Majority Leader. This makes him the second highest ranking member of the State Senate.

Reelecting Senator McGuire was the obvious best choice for our com munity. He not only has experience but also seniority to better assist his

constituents.

Senator McGuire has shown that he cares about our communi ty, even those of us who did not vote for him.

This is why term limits are not beneficial. Just as an elected official is gaining the experience to be most effective, they are termed out. This will be Senator McGuire’s last term and then we will lose him.

But there is more…

On November 1st, State Senator Mike McGuire unveiled a $10 million investment to develop a 30,000 square-foot warehouse into a stateof-the-art health care educational hub through a partnership with Cal Poly Humboldt and College of the Red woods.

Senator McGuire described this modern learning lab in a story by the Lost Coast Journal (11/1/22):

“It will be the epicenter for training North Coast health care leaders and the workforce of tomorrow. This health care education hub will house amazing health care labs, classrooms, as well as conference rooms all specially designed to train not just nurses but respiratory therapists, radiology techs, psychiatric techs and more.”

A project that improves rural health care services and provides employment training is another good example of how partnerships make progress happen.

Huffman praises FERC decision to clear the way for Klamath Dam removal

Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) applauded the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) decision today to issue a license surrender order that clears the way for removal of four Klamath River dams and the largest river restoration effort in history.

“FERC’s decision to retire PacifiCorp’s dams is the result of years of difficult work by our dedicated North Coast tribes, conservationists, the leadership of California and Oregon, and members of Congress,” said Rep Huffman. “Poor conditions on the Klamath River have caused substantial harm to tribal communities, commercial and sport fishermen, and the economies of California and Oregon. We know other dam removal projects in the West have seen dramatic beneficial responses for fisheries and wildlife, and the Klamath River has tremendous potential to recover and rebuild as this work is done. Congratulations to all of those who have worked to right this wrong and restore balance to the river.”

The order allows the Klamath River Renewal Corporation – a non-profit group that will

lead the dam removal effort – and the states of California and Oregon to take over PacifiCorp’s license for the purpose of demolishing the dams. Construction crews will begin preparing the area for dam removal in early 2023 and will remove the Copco 2 dam next year.

The dams have for decades blocked salmon from reaching hundreds of miles of productive salmon habitat. The shallow reservoirs regularly become choked with toxic algae and cause elevated temperatures downstream. Removal of the dams is expected to vastly improve water quality, reduce the presence of fish disease, and reopen vital spawning habitat.

Rep. Huffman has been an active partner in the efforts to remove the Klamath River dams. Following signs in July 2020 that PacifiCorp may walk back its commitment to dam removal, Rep. Huffman, Chair of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife, held a public forum to examine the terrible impacts the dams have had on salmon and downstream water quality.

Celebrating all veterans in Crescent City

Some 400 Del Norters braved the weather to honor those who served the military of the United States of America. The annual Veterans Day Parade Parade and luncheon was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 1381 and featured 23 floats, bands and equestians. The parade started slightly before the 10 a.m. scheduled start to avoid the ominous storm on the horizon. Mother Nature cooperated as the rain began after the parade was completed.

The vandalized Hmong obelisk at Point of Honor was replaced in time for the parade. Recognition and appreciation is given to all who worked to have this important memorial erected after the unfortunate vandalism incident several weeks back.

Formally known as Armistice Day, Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954, marking the end of military hostilities at 11 a.m. of the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.
