Del Norte Triplicate moving May 1

The Del Norte Triplicate is moving May 1 from its current location to the Curry Coastal Pilot ofﬁce in Brookings.

“Our employees will still be working in Crescent City and Del Norte County, but those employees will work remotely,” said Country Media’s Chief Executive, Joe Warren.

“Fewer of our customers are coming in to our ofﬁces to do business,” Warren said. “As it is, our customers already are placing classiﬁed ads and legal notices, obituaries and subscriptions mostly online.”

Country Media Inc., which publishes 10 community newspapers in Oregon and Northern Cal-

ifornia, “is beginning to create a collection of hub locations where we can create and produce multiple newspapers,” Warren said.

“In Tillamook, Oregon, for example, we oversee news reporting and ad sales not only for the Headlight Herald, but also for our adjacent newspapers in Cannon Beach and Manzanita.”

He added that for years the Del Norte Triplicate and the Curry Coastal Pilot have been operated in unison, sharing a classiﬁed ad section, production and other resources.

Warren said The Triplicate will continue to arrive on Wednesday each week.

Fire Board Deadlocked on Commissioner Vacancy

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media Inc.

The Crescent City Fire Protection District (CFPD) interviewed two highly qualiﬁed candidates for the vacant commissioner position, created by the unexpected resignation of Joe Gregorio.

Melvin Haggard and Jon Maxwell, both long-experienced ﬁreﬁghters applied for the position.

Just three commissioners were on hand to make the appointment. Gregorio had resigned and Commissioner Dave Short was absent from the Monday last meeting. With two highly qual-

iﬁed candidates throwing their hats into the ring, it was not surprising the vote was split, 2-1. A quorum of three votes is necessary to pass any item on the Agenda.

The CFPD will adjourn to a Special Meeting before May 3. It was standing- room

only in the CFPD conference room. Some individual audience members expressed concern the identical list of questions for each candidate left one question of the list: Over the last several years, how has the ﬁre department adjusted to less actual ﬁre calls and more Health-re-

lated calls that might overlap with 9-1-1 Del Norte Ambulance services.

Ex-commissioner

Gregorio stated his reason for retiring from the CFPD was to spend more time with his aspiring athletic grandaughter.

Anatomy of a Board of Supervisors Meeting

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

Some news days are slow…some are even S L

O W E R. On the very surface, the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors conducted a short meeting, April 8. In the public interest, The Triplicate reports a dearth of any substantive Del Norte news. Still, one must see if a perhaps an uninterested public should know what’s going on in the community? Below is the anatomy of the 53 minute Tuesday last meeting.

• 10:00am: Pledge of Allegiance, Moment of Silence, Roll Call attendance.

• 10:02am: No report out of Closed Session.

• 10:03am Supervisors deliver summaries of each reports occurring from the previous week. Four of the supervisors responded: Valerie Starkey; Chris Howard; Darrin Short; and Dean Wilson. Chairman Joey Borges did not deliver a report on his activities for the previous week…and to date, from the time of taking his Oath, has never delivered a public report

on his government activities at a Board meeting.

• 10:25 am PUBLIC SPEAKER(S) Public Comments, one public speaker spoke against the Request for initiating a Request for Proposal seeking new 9-11 Emergency Ambulance Service currently being provided by Del Norte Ambulance and, in the speaker’s opinion, the lack of wisdom in taking this course of action

• The inefﬁciency of spending $50,000 to temporarily ﬁx a few non-county maintained roads. The speaker underscored the word temporary because the pothole repairs may only last one year and gas road tax is not fairly distributed.

• No other public speakers addressed the Board. The lone speaker brought to the attention these valid points to Board members. Did anyone of ﬁve heed his opinion on these critical issues? Unlikely!

• 10:31: Two Ceremonial items: Proclamation of National Public Health Week, April 7-13; Proclamation in Recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month for April.

CONSENT AGENDA:

10:45am, The Board handled a total of of 18 items. 13 of those items appeared on CONSENT on a single vote on which the Board, by a 5-0 vote, approved the multiple items. There were two public comments at the dais; the ﬁrst speaker requested more than three minutes to discuss and disclose details of several of the Consent items. The Board allows only three minutes total for the 13 Consent items.

Eight items were requested from the Dept. of Health and Human Service. The public speaker also referenced many new hires who were coming aboard at higher step levels which the speaker felt was unfair and disrespectful to the current long-term employees.

• Eight of those Consent items requested came from the County’s largest department, Dept. of Health and Human Services. The items all needed Board approval of those Consent items. Some involved funding. Some did not involve funds, needed approval by the Board

• The speaker asked

Chairman Borges to allow more time to explain and disclose the nature of these Consent Agenda items. Not successful! The Chairman did not recognize the speaker’s request. Unless individual members wish to learn details of these undisclosed CONSENT items, the information was not discussed, merely a single vote, rarely if ever opposed, voting 5-0 approval.

The CONSENT items that were not discussed or shared with the public included

• Item four, Approve and Adopt a Side Letter Agreement between Del Norte Count and the Sheriff Employees Association,

• Items 5-7 involving the salary step increases, a amendment for the Mobile Crisis Unit,

• Item Nine, Attached Agreement with the DNUSD for Foster Youth Education Services,

• Item 10, DHHS Agreement with Cal Poly Humboldt for Social Work on one year Program,

• Item 11, renewal MOU for cash assistance program (CAPI), requested by DHHS, and item 13,

Chief Probation Ofﬁcer submission of Public Safety Realignment plan .

• The above items were not discussed with public

• GENERAL GOVERNMENT: 10:50 am, review and approve Step 1 for the County Administrative Ofﬁcer (Neal Lopez) for 25 years of continuous service for Del Norte, pursuant to the Appointed Department Head Resolution, requested by the Director of Health and Human Service

The public speaker shared his concern with supervisors that even though supervisors were aware of the Consent, the failure of supervisors to adequately share their knowledge, creating a censorship concern with the public. The speaker asked the Board for explanations as to why the item is on the Consent Agenda, the cost of the item, how many folks are impacted and the success (or

failure) of the item. Union Representative Norma Williams addressed the Board echoing the previous speaker’s concern new employees were being hired at higher step which Williams felt acknowledged the lower wages being paid to all County employees. She underscored her claim the County is underpaying its rank and ﬁle employees. The Consent Agenda passed, again, on a unanimous 5-0 vote.

• BUDGET TRANSFERS, 10:52am

• LETTERS • ADJOURMENT, 10:53 Length of meeting: 53 minutes. Indeed, it was a very S L O W day at the Board of Supervisors.

Guest Commentary - Opinion by Samuel Strait

The Democrat “Hands Off” Saturday Political Theater Elections Have Consequences

Whenever one of the two political parties in the United Stated experiences defeat at the polls of a substantial nature there seems to always be a period of angst and panic, as if to say what just happened to us? There never seems to be the recognition it might just be “what the party stands for.”

Since the recent defeat of the Democrats during the 2024 election it appears Democratic messaging to the American people no longer is found to be acceptable following the past four years of the Biden Administration and in fact even the Obama Administration before. There simply are too many “hills” which the Democratic Party choose to “die on,” the electorate could not tolerate.

The recent “Hands Off” protest experienced in Crescent City on Saturday, April 5th, very clearly exposed local Democrats as not understanding the messaging which resulted in its defeat

in November has not changed. While Democrats continued to parrot positions in theatric style at the Saturday event, there was clearly no recognition the current administration, no matter how much Donald Trump is reviled, is accomplishing changes at the Federal level a great many Americans think essential to the health of our nation.

Most Americans never understood the notion criminal illegal aliens who have been convicted of heinous crimes in the United States are not deported immediately, something Democrats seem to have great difficulty with. The fact biological men claiming to be women participating in women’s sports is undeniably a very difficult Democratic position to understand.

Opposed to removing waste and fraud clearly exposed throughout the Federal government is a Democrat position which confuses most Ameri-

cans. This, as well as Democrat blindness to the possibility it does exist.

The revelation Democrats do not want thousands of workers fired who contribute little to the business of government in various departments which cost taxpayers billions is baffling to any thinking citizen. Opposing the firing of Federal employees who continue to “work from home or office” with little to show for the salaries being paid to them. This is a government, no matter which party is in control needs some serious reduction in size.

Democrat fear mongering over potential loss of health care or Social Security when the current Administration has begun to “weed” out fraudulent claims may seem amusing once revealed, when cut, will ultimately extend Social Security’s rapidly shortening life span and ensure health care to those in need into

the future. How can anyone be opposed, unless you are one of those employees?

The local “hands off” event may appear to be a powerful expression of “free speech” if only it did not come off as grievances over the most odious claims of the progressive wing of the Democrat Party. Only loons and crazy people think the Constitution is under assault by the current administration. If anything, a bit of introspection is in order by those who attended the “protest.” Democrat opposition on most of the policy changes at the Federal level reek of sour grapes, often because members of the Democrat Party once held similar policy views until the new administration choose to actually implement the changes.

Elections have consequences. Very often those consequences are not very palatable to the losing party, but they give great op-

portunity to grow. The “Hands Off” rally has shown the Democrat Party doesn’t seem to be interested in growth and will very likely remain unelectable until they learn to embrace the values of the electorate. Leaderless and dependent- oriented Democrats have a lot to learn from the very people they despise yet seem unwilling to even try.

It is difficult to engage in a dialog, when one’s listening feature is turned off and one only feels hatred for anyone or anything not in total agreement. Cursing and the “middle finger” are not conversation starters; they merely indicate your own shallow character and infantile behavior. Kevin Bingham of Glen’s Bakery cookie fame heard and witnessed too much of both for it to be considered a “peaceful protest”, more like theater for a political party which has lost it way.

Save California Salmon Responds

Eureka, California- Yesterday the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (PFMC) recommended a full shutdown of all commercial fishing in California and extremely limited recreational ocean salmon fishing opportunities, through the end of 2025. This marks the third year in a row of no commercial fishing allocation in California and the state’s first recreational salmon season since 2022. Tribal subsistence fishing allocations will also be limited. This decision was made due to extremely low returns of fall, winter and spring run Chinook salmon in the Sacramento and Klamath Rivers for the third year in a row.

While the reopening of recreational fishing offers a small ray of hope for salmon communities, the con-

tinued closure of commercial fishing underscores the ongoing, severe impacts on California’s salmon populations caused by water mismanagement, pollution, habitat degradation, and climate disruption. Many scientists have stated that California salmon runs are now facing an extinction level crisis and have little hope for recovery unless major management changes are made.

“Three years without a salmon season is devastating, as is the prospect of California losing its iconic salmon runs. However, it’s not the end of the story,” said Regina Chichizola, Executive Director of SCS.

“We know that salmon come back when we give rivers a chance to recover.

Just last fall, we saw an unexpectedly strong response from spawning salmon just

weeks after the completion of Klamath dam removal. Governor Newsom must act now to protect flows and support Tribal and fishing communities, jobs, and drinking water quality. This is a critical moment for real change.” Kasil Willie, Staff Attorney at SCS, added, “For Tribes and fishing families, the loss of salmon fishing for another year is a total crisis, not just a closure. Salmon are collapsing because of water mismanagement, not overfishing. Closing the fisheries is a short term solution which doesn’t address California’s major water quality issues. We need more than temporary band-aids; we need a commitment to restoring our rivers.”

Save California Salmon is calling for immediate and long-term solutions to protect and restore salmon habitats, prioritize sustainable water management, and support the communities that rely on healthy rivers and fisheries. The survival of salmon in California depends on decisive action to restore ecosystems and secure, clean, reliable water for all. The organization is also hosting trainings for Tribal communities and the public on how to engage effectively in water related decisions.

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 fee 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 the property. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have the right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, 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 530-2462727; Toll Free: 844-3336766, or visit this internet website: calforeclosures. biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS#24-3147, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the street 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 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 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 the trustee’s information line at 530-2462727; Toll Free: 844-3336766, or visit this Internet Website: calforeclosures. biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS #24-3147. 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 Website.

Elaine Yvonne Richards

Allen, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, passed away at her home on March 17, 2025. She was a lifelong resident of Del Norte County, California. She was born at Knapp hospital in Crescent City on August 29, 1935, at 5:00 a.m. to Clyde and Etta Henry Richards. She grew up in Smith River California where she attended Smith River Elementary School. She attended Del Norte High School and received her diploma in 1953. She met Robert Allen and later married him on February 20, 1954, in Fortuna California. Robert was a co-owner of B&W Sales and Elaine was a homemaker. Robert succumbed to complications from Diabetes in 2010. They were married for 56 years.

One of their many adventures, when Elaine was 45 years old, Robert and Elaine went on a 7000 plus mile motorcycle tour across America. They rode a fully equipped Gold Wing 1000 through 18 states from California to Florida and then back through Missouri.

Elaine was a member of the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation. Her family is from Nelechundun on the Smith River.

2025

Elaine and Robert accepted Jesus as their Savior in 1967 and then became charter members of Smith River Baptist Church. They attended faithfully for many years. She later became a member of Pelican Bay Evangelical Free Church in Crescent City. In an envelope labeled obituary was one item. The hand-written verses John 3:16-18. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God”. Elaine taught Good News Clubs, took kids to church and wanted all people to know about her Savior, Jesus Christ. She kept prayer journals and prayed for friends and family regularly.

Elaine is preceded in death by a newborn son in 1960, husband Robert Edgar Allen, brother Dewayne Richards, sister Myrtle Husberg and brother Eugene Richards.

October 20, 1925 - March 23, 2025

Mae Pauline Steele, also affectionately known by friends and family as Maeleen or Padene, embarked on her ﬁnal journey, leaving the dance ﬂoor of life on March 23, 2025, at the victorious age of 99. Maeleen’s story began in Eureka, California, on October 20, 1925, where she entered the world with the

same sparkle and pizzazz that she carried throughout her life.

Wild Rivers Coast Brookings

Maeleen’s early years in Crannell and Eureka set the stage for a life led with gusto and a love of adventure. She was a student at Crannell Grammar School and later a proud graduate of Arcata High School, where she undoubtedly charmed both teachers and classmates alike. Maeleen became a telephone switchboard operator, connecting people with the same assurance with which she connected her own life’s dots. Later, she became a hairstylist in Eureka.

But let’s talk about Maeleen’s true love: her husband, Chuck. Maeleen and Chuck could dance the jitterbug like nobody’s business, their feet barely touching the ground as they danced through life together. Her passion for the jitterbug was matched only by her love of gardening—she could make anything grow. She also loved bowling and golﬁng and indeed made lifelong friends at the golf course in Hiouchi, California. Her love for the SF Giants was unrivaled. Even in her elder years, she would stay up for the extra innings and attended some games in San Francisco. As for traveling, Maeleen was always ready for an adventure, whether it was a trip to the grocery store or a jaunt to other countries and islands. Each summer, she treasured her time in the Shasta area with her extended family. Every journey was an amazing memory being made.

Mae’s courageous spirit never waned, even in the face of loss. She outlived her beloved husband, Chuck; daughters, Pam Wimer and Julie Howard; and dear sisters, Dinah Reed and June Ann Linebarger. Her optimism continues to shine like a beacon for her surviving son, Bucky Steele; her brother, Wes (Westy) Walch; her grandchildren Weston McBride, Kyler Steele, Brandon Steele, Cindy Kelly, Cathy Christie, and Carol Ringer. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, as well as great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Her forever friendship with her best friends in life, Kimi Holben, Liz Hoxeng, and Mary Lally Smith, held true to the end. Those who knew Maeleen would describe her as the embodiment of courage, optimism, self-

lessness, and love—traits that made her the life of any party and a true friend. Her smile was infectious, her spirit indomitable, and her capacity to love was limitless. She had the rare gift of making every person feel like the most important person in the world, probably because to Maeleen, they were. As we bid farewell to Mae, let us remember the joy she brought into our lives.

Picture her now, jitterbugging on the clouds, hair perfectly coiffed, with that mischievous twinkle in her eye, reminding us all to dance through life with a smile, no matter what music is playing.

The Steele family legacy continues through her surviving son, Bucky (Charles) Steele. The legacy of the strength of family continues through her surviving brother, Weston Walch, and the many lives Maeleen touched with her kindness and her unwaveringly loving heart. Maeleen passed away peacefully at age 99 in her home in Hiouchi, California, surrounded by loved ones—a testament to a life well lived and danced to the fullest. Her memory will be etched in our hearts like the perfect score in a bowling game or that hole-in-one on the golf course. While the SF Giants may have lost their biggest fan, heaven has gained one heck of a role model for us all.

Here’s to Maeleen, who lived, loved, and laughed like no other. May her story remind us to grab life by the dance shoes and swing to the rhythm of joy, courage, and undying optimism. Curtain call, Maeleen, and take a bow— you’ve left the audience of life thoroughly dazzled. Family and friends are grateful to Crescent City Skilled Nursing Facility and Sutter Hospice of Del Norte County for their compassionate care. A Celebration of Life will be held on October 20, 2025, on Mae’s 100th birthday.

Daniels no-hitter highlights fast start to Big 5 for Del Norte boys

By Ray Hamill For The Triplicate

A fast start to conference play has the Del Norte Warriors in prime position to challenge for this year’s Big 5 championship in baseball.

The Del Norte boys opened conference play with back-to-back road trips for doubleheaders at Arcata and Fortuna over the past two weekends, and the Warriors delivered on both occasions, sweeping all four games.

They opened with a 17-0 win at Arcata in five innings and followed that with an exciting comefrom-behind 13-10 win in game two.

This past weekend, they continued to roll with 4-0 and 11-1 wins at Fortuna, improving to 4-0 in conference and 10-4-1 overall.

With the four conference victories, the hottest team in the H-DNL stretched its unbeaten run

to 10 straight games and the Warriors have been on fire since getting upset at Hoopa earlier in the season .

“That Hoopa game really changed things for us,” Del Norte head coach Jeff Cook said.

Senior team ace Preston Daniels has helped set the tone for his teammates early in the Big 5 schedule and has been living up to his billing as one of the best pitchers in the conference.

Daniels threw a complete-game five-inning no-hitter in the opener at Arcata and he followed that with a one-hitter in another complete-game performance in the first game at Fortuna. “He went in there and he took care of business,” Cook said of the senior’s opening-day performance. “He was confident. He was ready to go. It was the first league game and he was pumped.”

Daniels struck out eight in that game and 14 in his start at Fortuna.

And he’s been getting plenty of offensive support.

Junior Marco Gonzalez led the team at the plate in the conference opener and finished 3-for-4 with four runs, while seniors Aidan Rice and Saxon Taylor each also had two hits in that win, including four RBIs by Rice and a double by Taylor.

Daniels also helped his own cause with a double and two RBIs.

Rice continued to impress in game two at Arcata and had two more hits, including a double, while teammate Anthony Cardenas also was 2-for-2 with a double in that win and displayed his patience and keen eye at the plate by walking six times over the two games.

Junior Ben Shrewsberry

got the win on the mound in game two in relief, as the Warriors overcame a late deficit with four runs in the top of the seventh inning.

Shrewsberry gave up one earned run on four hits and three walks in 3.1 innings and he struck out four.

The Del Norte boys continued to impress the following weekend with two more victories at Fortuna.

And they’ve been winning with strong performances in all aspects of the game ever since their 5-4 upset loss at Hoopa in mid March.

In addition to the strong pitching, the Del Norte bats have also impressed with the team scoring eight or more runs in seven of those 10 games and giving up more than three runs just twice.

Cardenas continued to shine at Fortuna and had

the hot bat for the day.

The impressive senior finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs in the opener, and he followed that by going 2-for-4 with six RBIs in game two, giving him eight RBIs over the two games.

Fellow senior Greyson Franklin also had a good game at the plate in the opener, finishing 3-for-3, while Taylor and Landon Williams each had a double. Williams also made some noise at the plate in game two and finished

3-for-3 with two RBIs, while Shrewsberry was walked three times.

Shrewsberry’s impact didn’t end there.

The Del Norte junior also got the win on the hill, allowing just two hits and striking out seven in a complete-game performance. Rice also had two hits in that win.

The Warriors will host Eureka in a doubleheader this Saturday, which will be their first home games in conference play.

Del Norte girls keep title hopes on track with doubleheader split at Fortuna

By Ray Hamill For The Triplicate

After losing the first game of a key softball doubleheader at Fortuna on Saturday, the Del Norte Warriors answered emphatically with a big win in game two to keep their hopes of a third straight Big 5 championship on track.

The two-time defending conference champs lost the opener 8-7 in a back-and-forth game against a team that is considered to be their biggest challengers for this year’s title.

But they came out fired up in game two and scored six runs in the top of the first inning on the way to a comfortable 12-1 win in five innings.

The split followed a doubleheader sweep at Arcata the previous weekend by scores of 15-4 and 10-1.

The Del Norte girls, who also won a non-conference game at Brookings-Harbor 17-3 on Friday, improved to 3-1 in the Big 5 and 11-2 overall.

After a disappointing start to the day at Fortuna, the Warriors turned in a much better performance in game two. And with senior pitcher Shay Nolan once again in commanding form in the circle, and the offense giving her plenty of support, that was more than enough to see them over the line.

The bats came out of the starting gates on fire in game two, with three home runs in the opening two innings, including two by standout senior Khloe Smith.

The team’s starting shortstop missed most of last season through injury, but is back better than ever this spring and her influence is being felt in many ways.

“There’s nothing better than Khloe at 100 percent,” Del Norte head coach Aaron Healy said of the inspirational team standout after the doubleheader sweep at Arcata. “She’s smooth and she does her job, and she hit the ball well today. She had a very complete two games.”

She followed that with another big day at Fortuna, hitting a two-run home run in the top of the first and adding a three-run blast an inning later.

Freshman Addi Whitford, who has quickly established herself as a key part of this year’s team, also had a grand slam in the top of the first inning.

The game-two performance was a nice response from the players, who played well in all aspects of the game.

“We pride ourselves on our defense, but our defense let us down (in game one),” Healy said. “With a pitcher that gets a lot of ground outs and fly balls we can’t make errors.”

Game two was a different story.

“We ran the bases better, we were patient at the plate — we didn’t chase balls as much — and my defense showed up,” Healy said. “When we have the whole package, we’re hard to beat.”

Nolan, as usual, played a big part in that.

“I thought Shay did a fantastic job in the circle,” Healy added of the team ace. “She’s moving the ball around in the strike zone and getting ground outs and fly balls. She’s really doing a good job.”

The Warriors scored runs in all five innings while holding their hosts scoreless until the bottom of the fifth and final inning.

The Del Norte outfield trio of Tayler Starkey, Bliss Blackburn and Bella Arriola all impressed on defense and “all made some nice catches and did their job very well,” according to their coach.

The two schools, who are both living up to their billing as the favorites in this year’s Big 5, will play a third time in Crescent City on April 30, in a showdown that will likely decide this year’s championship.

With Saturday’s split, the Huskies maintained a slender advantage in the conference standings and improved to 4-1 in the Big 5 having played one game more than the Warriors.

The Del Norte girls also won two important games at Arcata in their conference openers the previous weekend with several players on a senior-heavy lineup opening the Big 5 with impressive performances.

Nolan got both wins in the circle and worked well with senior catcher Carlee Harper, who was conference MVP a year ago and is playing at a very high level once again this spring.

“Shay pitched very well in the circle,” Healy said after those two wins. “She figures things out, her and Carlee behind the plate. They work well together.”

Nolan also showcased her power on offense and hit a three-run home run in game one.

The Warriors will continue conference play with two home games against Eureka on Saturday.
