Dire conditions impact retention of deputies Del Norte salary schedule is in bottom 25% among counties percentile. According to INDEED recruitment, Sheriff Scott is the 39th highest paid sheriff among California’s 58 counties. Across the state, according to ZipRecruiter, salaries for deputies ranged from $34,332 to a $110,996, with an average of $72,467 or $34.84 per hour. California ranks second of the 50 states nationwide. Step 1 entry level deputies for Del Norte county are paid a modest $24.88 per hour which translates to about $51,750 per year. “That’s not very much money to support a family anywhere in California and certainly not in Del Norte,” according to Sheriff Scott. The sheriff announced three individuals assigned to Del Norte County will begin the 24-week

“The effects of inflation and poor pay compromise law enforcement in our county.” So says Del Norte County Sheriff Garrett Scott. The sheriff shared his disappointment upon losing 11 deputies (including the recent tragic loss of Deputy Deanna Esmaeel) by December 1. “Conditions are dire,” said Scott. The departing deputies cite opportunities for increased wages and family ties to other areas causing the exodus. The sheriff laments the modest pay scale which aggravates the inability to pay competitive wages. Del Norte County ranks in the bottom quarter in pay scale

Fishing update discussed at The Grange BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate
Earlier this month, Charter vessel owner/captain Steve Huber, representing Del Norte fishermen, addressed the Pacific Fishery Management Council in Garden Grove, seeking a moratorium on the recent quillback ban. The PFMC revealed there is no active data to substantiate any change in the ban. Until verifiable data can be gathered, the PFMC will not change its advice to the Department of Fish and Wildlife to lift the ban. On another related issue on the PFMC agenda was a discussion about raising the quota for halibut fishing. Currently, the breakdown in Area 2A, which includes Washington, Oregon and California is as follows: Native tribes retain 35 percent of all halibut caught. The remaining 65 percent is divided up accordingly. Washington 32%, Oregon 30% and California 4 percent. The Golden State sought to increase its halibut haul one percent, since it has already exceeded its 40,000-pound quota. Washington was asked to surrender .06 percent and Oregon .04 percent, but the Evergreen State objected and kyboshed the change. Both Washington and Oregon haul of halibut, about 300,000 pounds each did not exceed either state’s quota. Bottom line: no change to the current breakdowns. Here’s the chronology of the decision to restrict ocean fishing in Del Norte County and down the Pacific Coast. • August 7, CDFW sent out a bulletin closing all

Improve drinking water standards I write to express my deep concern regarding the current state of our national drinking water quality standards. Access to high-quality clean drinking water is not just a privilege but a basic human right, and it is imperative that immediate policy action is taken to ensure the fulfillment of this right for all Americans. Our water sources should be free from microorganisms, contamination, and pollution. It is disheartening to witness instances of communities facing water crises, notably exemplified by the situation in Flint, Michigan. Such challenges should not be isolated; they are a collective responsibility of the United States government. The health and well-being of our citizens hinge on the assurance of safe and clean water. Every American deserves the right to access the basic necessity of safe and clean water. It is not merely a matter of convenience but a fundamental requirement for a thriving society. The incidents of heavy metals and lead contamination, as witnessed in various regions, underscore the urgency of revisiting and reinforcing our national drinking water quality standards. To address these issues effectively, I urge our government to invest substantially in clean water infrastructure. Upgrading and maintaining our water systems is an investment in public health, environmental sustainability, and the overall prosperity of our nation. Neglecting this critical aspect of our infrastructure can have severe repercussions for generations to come. In conclusion, I implore policymakers to prioritize the revision and enforcement of stringent national drinking water quality standards. Americans should not have to worry about the safety of the water flowing from their taps. It is the duty of our government to safeguard the basic human right to high-quality clean drinking water.
IN MY VIEW
Democracy Can Be Difficult
I attended the California Democratic Party Convention, November 17 through 19, in Sacramento. I always expect that some controversy will spill over into the convention and that was most certainly true at this one. More than 2000 delegates attended this Convention. This means 2000 different opinions on any topic. Democrats are a rambunctious bunch, but this convention became even more raucous when we were joined by hundreds of uninvited guests. Anticipating trouble, the entrance to the convention had TSA level security. We were required to empty our pockets and security guards wanded us to screen for weapons. They had K9 officers with bomb sniffing dogs.
Democrats Party I joke sometimes as the Chair of the Del Norte County Democratic Party, Terry Dean Brooks that I want to put the party Crescent City back into the Democratic Party. When properly motivated Democrats can put on a good party. After attending a few preliminary sessions on Friday, I had two sponsored parties on my agenda. I have mentioned before that when I attend these events, I have a very focused mission. I want to speak to elected officials and raise awareness of rural issues, help them learn where Crescent City and Del Norte County are and invite them to come up for a visit. The first party was sponsored by outgoing Senate President Pro Tempore Tony Atkins and new Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. I admit that I went for the free food, but I also found the opportunity to talk to Speaker Rivas, who comes from a rural county and will be a great ally on rural issues. NorCal Party The second party was sponsored by our Assemblymember Jim Wood, Senator Mike McGuire and other northern California representatives. I was wel-
comed by incoming Senate President Mike McGuire. I wanted to speak with Assemblymember Wood to thank him for his service and wish him well, but he was absent. He recently announced that he will not seek reelection so that he could spend more time caring for his mother. It was a surprise that he decided not to run but people are lining up to run for this vacant seat. At least four Democrats have declared their intention to run for Assembly, California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks, Healdsburg Mayor Ariel Kelly, Mendocino County Supervisor Ted Williams, and Santa Rosa City Councilmember Chris Rogers. The Party planned to endorse Jim Wood but has not endorsed a replacement.
Party Business The convention continued Saturday with an early meeting of the Platform Committee. We wrapped up our business and forwarded the final draft of the Platform to the delegates for approval on Sunday. This was followed by a two-hour general session filled with speeches and other party business When I returned from lunch, I found that protesters had gotten inside the entrance to the building and staged a sit-in. They were protesting the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and demanding a cease fire. At this point it was a “peaceful” protest. Though they were chanting very loudly they were not blocking ingress or egress. I entered the main hall for the second general session and the first order of business was a forum with the four Democratic candidates running for U.S. Senate to replace Dianne Feinstein. This included Katie Porter, Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee, and Lexi Reese. It is likely that one of these will be our next Senator. Party Crashers As the Senate candidates were speaking, they were
heckled by more protesters holding signs and calling for a ceasefire. Despite efforts to bring order to the proceedings, these candidates were shouted down and interrupted throughout the candidate forum. The session ended early as a result of this disruption. After I left the convention, I walked down one block where an estimated 2000 pro-Palestinian protesters were amassed. What happened next was completely unplanned for. Hundreds of protesters breached the convention hall, overwhelmed the security guards, and occupied the convention center. Some delegates were trapped and could not safely leave. As a result of this incursion, all Saturday evening events were cancelled, and it was unclear whether the Sunday meeting would occur. Civil Disobedience In America we have a right to free speech and a right to protest. I cherish these rights. I support peaceful, non-violent protest, but this was neither. This was an act of civil disobedience. Many delegates feared for their safety and two security guards sustained minor injuries. It was inevitable with so many people involved that things might get out of hand with a few people taking it too far. It is justified for these people to be angry and protest what appears to be indiscriminate killing of the innocent civilians in Gaza. Some of these protesters have relatives who have been killed in this war. When people feel they are not being heard they will speak louder. This protest was troublesome and shutting down the convention wasted millions of dollars that the Party and delegates spent. Yet the inconvenience of occupying the convention pales by comparison to the suffering caused by the occupation of Gaza. The Vote Goes On One of the actions scheduled for Saturday
Kevin Hendrick night was a vote of all the delegates to determine whether the Party would endorse one of the four Senate candidates. Fortunately, this vote had been previously arranged for votes to be made electronically. After everyone was evacuated from the convention the vote proceeded. To secure an endorsement, a candidate had to garner at least 60 percent of the votes. The result of this vote was 41% Barbara Lee, 40% Adam Schiff, 16% Katie Porter, 2% No endorsement and 0.13 % Lexi Reese. However, the vote that counts is in March when the top two will advance to the general election in November. On Sunday there was a truncated general session to complete unfinished business. The revised California Democratic Party Platform that I worked on was approved without dissent. Difficult Democracy Democracy can be difficult, even messy, but I would rather live in a society with a government that tolerates dissent than not. Civic engagement is our patriotic duty. If we show respect for each other and listen, I believe that dialogue will lead to better understanding and better policies. Your main tool to get the government that you want is to vote. Exercise this right. Vote! Kevin Hendrick is a 30year resident of Del Norte County. kevinjameshendrick@gmail.com
WRITERS ON THE RANGE
Live rough and know the real world By JACOB RICHARDS Guides in the outdoor industry inevitably come up with collective nicknames for customers. On horseback they’re “dudes,” on the river they’re “mers” — short for customers — and they’re “sticks” if you’re trying to trick a trout. Sometimes the terms trend a little negative — “flatlander” comes to mind, and there’s another name I’ve come to use but need to explain it. It comes out of what I do: For the last decade, I’ve guided multi-day whitewater fly-fishing trips through western Colorado’s Gunnison Gorge during the summer. Then I spend the fall guiding horseback hunting outfits in wilderness. It adds up to around 100 nights a year sleeping rough. I’ve met a lot of people
from all over the country, and, sad to say, too many seem oblivious to how scarce clean water is in the outback and also how much work it takes to make water safe for drinking. That’s why I sometimes call them “water poopers.” Spill a big batch of filtered water, treat a horse like a car rather than a living being, or behave in some other entitled way, and you might get saddled with this moniker. If a client takes offense, I explain that a water-pooper assumes that a flush toilet is necessary to life, and they usually agree: “Yep, that’s me. Never thought about it that way.” On the river, and in hunting camp, water is precious: We filter every drop of water that we drink. We haul the water from the river or the creek to camp
and then let gravity filters purify it, one drop at a time. On overnight river trips we use a portable toilet setup with a great view, but some clients never get over their distaste of having to use it. At trip’s end, our portable toilet gets packed out, leaving nothing behind. On the mountain every fall, we usually have to dig two 5-foot-deep outhouse holes at least 40 paces from the main tents. After a stalagmite of poop and toilet paper inevitably forms, the “camp-jack” has the unlucky job of knocking over the tower. We fill in the hole when it’s three-quarters full and then dig a new one. Wilderness guides love saying things like “misery makes memories,” or “embrace the suck.” It’s good for a laugh when rain, mud
or a sudden freeze moves in, but it helps make living deep in the wilderness an experience to learn from and remember. It also breaks the water-pooper spell we fall into in the “real world.” Being responsible for our personal needs connects us to the realities of life that modern civilization hides. Our elk camp is located in an aspen forest licking down into Gambel oak brush, and every year I notice that the land is drier and hotter. Aspens are not doing well. The mature trees are dead or dying and only saplings seem to have any vigor. A little creek used to run cool enough to hold some fingerling trout, but vegetation is moving higher up the mountain and the creek is warm. The elk rut also happens later in the fall each year.
At some point every season after six weeks in the wild, I drive home, and as I crest the ridge and see the lights of Grand Junction, it hits me: Some 150,000plus people live in the area, and they all defecate in purified water without a second thought. For those first few days back in civilization, the absurdity is overwhelming. But I also can see the bigger picture of our careless lives. Living in a wild place separates us from what is essential: Shelter. Energy. Food. Clean water. Waste removal. We’re forced to take individual responsibility for all of those things in the backcountry. Of course, I’m a water-pooper, too. No one is immune. No matter how you wipe it, we all clean ourselves with dead trees, even protestors sitting in

old growth forests. I might just be a river rat and mule skinner, but I know that many of our most pressing environmental and social issues stem from this water-pooper line of thinking. Stepping out of the system to take responsibility for ourselves, even for a few days in the wild, can be eye-opening. It’s amazing to realize how fragile our luxuries are, from toilets that whisk waste away to having clean water pour out of a tap. It is unwise to take these luxuries for granted.

Del Norte’s Curtis and Nunez named co-MVPs of the Big 5 BY RAY HAMILL
For The Triplicate
Del Norte High seniors McKenna Curtis and Lili Nunez have been named co-MVPs of the Big 5 in volleyball after leading the Warriors to another memorable season. And they were far from the only Del Norte girls included in the All-Big 5 selections. In fact, all 11 players on this year’s roster received all-league recognition after a dominating league campaign for the champions. The Warriors were a perfect 8-0 in league play and did not drop a set on their way to a second straight league pennant, which is believed to be the program’s 30th all time. Curtis and Nunez led
the way and both standouts played a pivotal role for the team, helping to set the tone for their teammates back in the preseason. “Both of these girls led the team through their performance and consistent mental game,” Del Norte head coach Meagan Curtis said. “Lili set balls that most others wouldn’t even try to set with their hands. Her hard work led to more offensive opportunities for our hitters. “McKenna led our offense and was unstoppable throughout league play.” The dynamic duo were also among the most consistent players in this year’s Big 5. “We could depend on both of them to perform in every match,” the head coach added.
Curtis will continue her volleyball career at the collegiate level after graduation in 2024 and is considering her options after a recent recruiting trip to several of the top community college programs in California. Nunez, meanwhile, will likely have plenty of options herself and is also a standout basketball player and one of the best javelin throwers in the state. Their teammates also were honored at the recent end-of-season league meet-
ing and team banquet. Fellow seniors Reece White and Breann Winingham each also played pivotal roles for the undefeated league champions and both were named to the all-league first team. Teammates Bliss Blackburn, Ava O’Reilley, Lauren Stutes, Khloe Smith, Tsinte Steinruck, Ariana Stansbury and Carlee Harper all received an all-league honorable mention. According to the head coach, the entire team did
an outstanding job preparing for the season, which laid the foundation for the Warriors success. In particular, their work in the weight room during the summer months impressed their coaches. Longtime Del Norte coach Pablo Lorenzi, who served as an assistant coach with the team this fall, described this year’s roster as the best weightroom team he’s ever seen during his time at Del Norte. After clinching the
league championship and celebrating their five seniors before the regular-season finale, the Warriors received the No. 7 seed for the North Coast Section Division-4 playoffs. They opened the postseason with a straight sets win over Fort Bragg before barely falling in the second round to Justin-Siena in an exciting five sets match. The Del Norte senior class included Curtis, Nunez, White, Winingham and O’Reilley.

Crescent City woman renews claim to F.W. Woolworth Estate By ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate
Accompanied with her daughter and a relic Triplicate newspaper dated July 19, 2000, Judith Woolworth Donahue is renewing her claim that the Crescent City woman is part successor to 262 acres of prime wetlands in Suffolk County, Long Island.

Discovered within the last 90 days, Judith and her daughter showed up at The Triplicate office with a deed and living will in perpetuity in hand.

Quillback retention in the Nearshore Groundfish Fishery from Mendocino to the Oregon border. • August 21, CDFW determined the quota of approximately 2000 pounds of Quillback had exceeded 130 percent, hence ordered a complete closure directive immediately. The vote was 7-6 with two abstentions. The balance of the ocean fishing season was now declared over. • Sept 1, CDFW extends the closure to the Central Management Area, South of Mendocino. The ban extends from the shoreline to a depth of 50 fathoms or about 300 feet. Fish are unattainable below that depth, according to fishermen. Huber traveled south to the recent local PFMC meeting in Orange county two weeks ago and made
his plea to lift the ban plea until verifiable data can be ascertained. His request was denied. At the Nov. 16 Grange meeting, 25 fishermen learned from Huber concerning the lack of data on quillback. The original group of fisherman contend the last data search in 2021 during the COVID crisis employed faulty methodology and did not use traditional hook and line protocol. Huber and the fishermen made a successful plea to have scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) board Huber’s vessel in February and March of next year to conduct hook and line data recovery on the 76 different species of quillback. This data will accurately predict the quillback question or whether there is in fact a quillback issue. Failure to conduct this testing protocol may result in a 49
year extension of the ban. Supervisor Joey Borges attended both Grange meetings and announced the discussion and comment of this issue has been agendized for the Nov. 21 board meeting. Huber, Harbor Commissioner/vessel owner Harry Adams, commercial vessel owner Andrea Spahn and Englund Marine General Manager Chis Hegness, along with Borges, sat on the panel, last week to answer questions and make comments. The group is raising awareness of impending economic disaster if ocean fishing continues to be restricted. Huber commented, “Visitors come to Del Norte to enjoy the beaches and Redwoods and of course, to fish. Visitors brings lots of money to support motels, vacation rentals, restaurants, merchants and gaming and just enjoy Crescent City.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Richard Alan Hagel Case Number: PB20237061 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Richard Alan Hagel A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Lalania Fink, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte. The petition for probate requests that: Lalania Fink be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: December 8, 2023 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/ LoginPage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2023-00768-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855)-882-1314, or visit this internet website https://www.hubzu.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-00768-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the County of Del Norte will conduct a public hearing by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at 11:00 A.M. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers, 981 H Street, Suite 100, Crescent City, CA and online VIA Zoom at media.co.del-norte.ca.us, regarding the below described topic. ***Text Amendments to Del Norte County Code Title 20 Zoning (non-Coastal) based on the adopted Housing Element. The County proposes to amend the following Chapters to include new residential by-right uses for employee housing including farmworker housing, low barrier navigation center, transitional housing, supportive housing, single-room occupancy, accessory dwelling units, mobile home parks, community care facilities, child day care homes: • Chapter 20.09 Agriculture Forestry Districts • Chapter 20.10 Agriculture Exclusive Districts of Title 20 Non-Coastal Zoning • Chapter 20.11 Agricultural District • Chapter 20.12 Rural Residential District (RR-2) • Chapter 20.12A Rural Residential District (RR-3) • Chapter 20.13 Residential and Agricultural District (R-1A) • Chapter 20.14 Residential and Agricultural District (R-2A) • Chapter 20.15 Rural Residential District (RR-5) • Chapter 20.16 One Family Residence District (R-1) • Chapter 20.17 Rural Residential Districts
• Chapter 20.18 Low Density Multiple Family Residence District (R-2) • Chapter 20.20 High Density Multiple Family Residence District (R-3) • Chapter 20.23 Commercial Recreational District (C-R) • Chapter 20.24 Neighborhood Commercial District (C-1) • Chapter 20.26 Light Commercial District (C-2) • Chapter 20.28 Central Business District (C-3) • Chapter 20.29 General Commercial District (C-4) • Chapter 20.35 Forest and Recreation District (FR-1)
Chapter 20.49 (Emergency Shelter Combining District) also includes a revision per Housing Element Program HE-Q with the removal of performance standards for emergency shelters related to maximum beds and length of stay. In an effort to streamline by-right housing as specified in the certified Housing Elements, the County has identified General Commercial zoned parcels for by-right residential as highlighted in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The ordinance amendments highlighted these specific parcels and their associated APN’s that allow by-right multi-unit development. Additionally, a new comprehensive set of multi-unit objective design and development standards were developed to implement objective standards for by-right approval of multi-unit housing per Senate Bill 35 (SB35). The objective design and development standards will further streamline housing development in the County, while providing base minimum design and development expectations for new and proposed projects. New and or modified definitions are proposed to be added for terms used in the proposed amendment, including but not limited to Child Day Care Home, emergency shelter, family dwelling single-family, low barrier navigation center, single room occupancy. A copy of the draft text amendments are available for review at the Del Norte Community Development Department located at 981 H Street, Suite 110.

Crescent City Harbor District embarks on new era Crescent City Harbor District is thrilled to announce a transformative development that rejuvenates the community and invigorates tourism. In a recent resolution with Renewable Energy Capital (REC), the district has reclaimed Bayside RV Park and Redwood Harbor RV Park. “This settlement strategically propels our Harbor
District’s improvement, setting the stage for an exciting future,” explained Board President Wes White. As part of the redevelopment plan, the district is committed to California Coastal Commission regulations, limiting RV stays to a maximum of 30 days at Bayside RV Park. Current long-term residents can continue on
a month-to-month basis at existing rates, with updated agreements and registration processes for a smooth transition. Redwood Harbor RV Park is set for a complete revitalization. Planned projects include the construction of a new public restroom at South Beach. Visitors can also look forward to an eclectic array of enhanced activities, like
a beer garden, food truck, local farmer’s market and barcade. With $12 million in grants secured over the past year, and ongoing efforts to obtain further
funding, the district is dedicated to making substantial improvements to harbor infrastructure including a new seawall, Citizen’s Dock redesign and improved visitor
services. Harbormaster Tim Petrick encourages the community to attend public meetings, typically held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 2 p.m.
Yurok Tribe secures $5 million grant for beautification projects The Yurok Tribe recently received a $5 million grant from the Clean California Local Grant Project (CCLGP) for five projects that will dramatically elevate the quality of life on the Yurok Reservation. The state funds will be used to construct new recreation and transportation infrastructure from Requa to Wautec. “This is a huge win for the Yurok Tribe. I would like to thank CCLGP for investing in the future of the Yurok people. I would also like to thank our Transportation and Planning Department for pursuing the competitive funds,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “These projects will positively impact the lives of all reservation residents, and especially our children, for many years to come.” At the Requa Resort, the Tribe will be building a day-use area with picnic tables, custom-made benches and a beautiful walking path from the campground to the edge of the Klamath River. The path and resort as a whole will be landscaped with plants and trees. The existing bathrooms will be completely renovated with new fixtures, paint and partitions. There are plans to add external, park-style refuse receptacles with bear locks too. Additionally,

a fence will be installed in between the resort and boat dock to ensure a quiet atmosphere at the ideally located resort. In the Old Klamath Townsite, the Tribe is going to replace the playground at the baseball field with a brand-new children’s play area surrounded by a safety barrier. The baseball diamond will be recontoured and drainage pipes will be buried underground to better manage water runoff. The project also calls for the installation of the following: new dugouts, bleachers, picnic tables, benches and a chain-link perimeter around the ball field. Near the Morek Won Village, a new Park and Ride facility will be built for Yurok Transit bus riders and local residents. The facility will include a fenced playground with picnic tables, benches and a shade canopy. The Park
and Ride will also offer the following amenities: parking spaces, a new bus shelter, water bottle filling station and recycling bins. Next to the Wautec Fire House, the Tribe will build a new playground in the footprint of the former play area. A new restroom facility will be constructed for Yurok Transit riders and those enjoying the playground. The CCLGP funds will be invested in the full restoration of the basketball court. Murals will be painted on the court as well. A shade area with picnic tables and benches will be built on the property. To tie it all together, a fence adorned with traditional art will be placed around the playground and basketball court. Last but not least, the Tribe aims to install picnic tables, benches and concrete-based fencing at the Sregon Orchard. Sregon residents will be able to relax after working in the orchard and/or simply visit the site to enjoy the view of the Klamath River. The Yurok Tribe’s Transportation Department partnered with the Yurok Planning and Community Development Department to secure the competitive grant. Together, these projects will provide numerous opportunities for local families to spend quality time outdoors.
