Data is Imperative to Retain Fishing in Del Norte

City Amends General Plan, Adopts Housing Ordinance

days after adoption, April 17.

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

The balance between a healthy, robust fishing industry and the multitude of agencies and governance overseeing vibrant and healthy fish is a delicate one.

Last Wednesday, the Del Norte Natural Resources and Environmental Coordination Committee chaired by Supervisor Chris Howard hosted a presentation and discussion regarding fish stock assessment, data needs and current data collection programs by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries. The purpose of the meeting was for information sharing between the public and NOAA Fisheries staff regarding nearshore rockfish species. Besides an audience of local commercial and recreational anglers, four members of the Board of Supervisors, a Crescent City Councilor and City Manager Eric Wier were in attendance, observing.

Here’s the background:

Last August, the Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) shockingly and abruptly shut down ocean fishing on the Northcoast. The remainder of the ocean fishing season was now over. The cause for the closure was attributed to the ubiquitous Quillback Rockfish no one seems to want or even care about. The charge

Supervisors agree to Send Board to National Counties Conference in Mariposa

BY

The National Association of Counties (NACo) is hosting its Western Interstate Region Conference in Mariposa, May 8-10. The event is the

NACo visit to California in many years.

Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore, NACo 1st Vice President requested the participation of Del Norte at this event. 3rd District Supervisor Chris Howard is the County’s representative at CSAC, ) (California State Association of Counties) and asked to continue his representation a National level.

2nd District Supervisor Valerie Starkey requested her colleagues designate her as the NACo representative for Del Norte. “ We need to have an equity on our Board, she stated.” Howard remains the State Counties representative (CSAC). 1st District Supervisor Darrin Short is the

The banned Quillback Rockfish

Three County Supervisor meetings have passed since the Crescent City Council and Crescent City Harbor Commissioners adopted the revised joint powers agreement (JPA) for the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority.

To refresh your memory, The City, Harbor and County must all agree on the same agreement for Tri-Agency to move ahead. In January the Board of supervisors approved a version of the JPA with an exclusion which states that Tri-Agency “shall not support or pursue activities involved with the offshore generation of wind energy.”

The Harbor Commission and the City Council both voted in February to approve the JPA without this offshore wind exclusion.

Now it is up to the County Board of Supervisors to decide what to do next.

Will they concur with the other two partner agencies or refuse to reassess their position?

County Inaction

It is not clear whether there are enough votes on the Board of Supervisors to approve the change approved by the City and the Harbor. It may even be a higher bar than normal to re-evaluate their position. The County Counsel has reportedly advised County Supervisors that it will require four votes to bring this up again.

The fundamental question for the Supervisors is if they want Tri-Agency to continue to lead our regional economic development effort. Whether they decline to schedule a vote, or fail to muster four votes to reconsider and approve the revisions made by their partners, the result is the same. Tri-Agency will wither and die due to County inaction.

Missed Opportunity

While the County dithers, we just missed an opportunity to have input on the State of California’s plans for offshore wind energy. The California En-

While the County takes their own sweet time acting on this decision, the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority is left in limbo. Tri-Agency cancelled the February meeting and recently cancelled their March meeting “due to lack of agenda items.” Progress is stalled by the County’s failure to act on this matter.

ergy Commission recently circulated a draft strategic plan for developing offshore wind energy. The deadline to comment on this plan was March 22.

This plan is required by Assembly Bill 525 to draw up a blueprint for wind projects offshore California. This document is over 500 pages including technical appendices and is daunting for an average citizen to digest. Yet it contains volumes of information about how offshore wind might affect our county.

Ideally there would be a centralized agency with professional staff that can analyze and comment on this plan. But we have only a few individuals like Harbor Commissioners Wes White and Brian Stone, who have taken it upon themselves to become informed about the positive benefits and negative impacts from offshore wind.

Asleep at the Wheel

While the County ponders their move on Tri-Agency, there is no coordinated effort to watch out for our interests. Many of our local leaders are asleep at the wheel. Now is the time to ask questions and demand answers. If

our community speaks with one voice, we are more likely to be heard.

This offshore wind plan has a chapter on potential impacts which states, “Defining potential impacts for a new floating offshore wind industry is challenging, as no commercially deployed floating offshore wind projects exist in the U.S and the technology is rapidly evolving.” There is still much they don’t know.

“Floating offshore wind technology is in its infancy and has never been deployed off the coast of California. Therefore, the specific effects of these installations on the marine environment are not fully understood and uncertain.” We should insist that impacts from the first projects be studied before expanding to our coast.

Cautious Engagement

Even if Del Norte County chooses to ignore what is happening with offshore wind development, it will happen without us. I think a strategy of cautious engagement is the right course of action. We can gain knowledge and experience by observing what happens in other areas first.

The two wind projects off the coast of Humboldt

In times of uncertainty, rest assured that as your community newspaper, we are working hard with a local, regional and national network of official resources to keep you informed and up to date on the issues and developments that matter most to you.

are moving forward. They will both need to develop detailed operations plans and complete environmental studies before they begin to operate. If we track these projects, we can insert our questions and concerns into this process. This will better inform any future local projects.

It is reasonable to be skeptical about possible negative impacts of floating offshore wind platforms. We should demand that our questions and concerns be addressed. When we have more information, we will be able to weigh the benefits and risks of offshore wind. Better information leads to better policy.

Lost Momentum Wind is not the only project that Tri-Agency could work on. One reason for the formation of this agency was to rebuild the harbor. This is still a work in progress. The Harbor by itself has started efforts to repair and rebuild the harbor including the fishing infrastructure. If we support fishing, we must support the harbor.

The Harbor needs help now, and it is in the interest of the community that we have a healthy harbor.

In response to Craig Strong’s letter in the February 21st edition: Craig, take it easy on poor old Mr. Trump. Surely you know that he has been diagnosed with a rare mental disorder; it is called Messiah Syndrome. This poor affected man thinks anything he says or does are likened to the words or actions of the almighty! And he won’t be held responsible. Hopefully, help is on the way. We have judges and juries that can solve his problems, not psychiatrists. I’m sure they will see that he gets several doses of reality. They will prescribe jail and prison time as therapy which may not cure his affliction but will

Tri-Agency should find a way to help the Harbor District diversify and grow their economic base. Otherwise, the Harbor District is challenged to find a reason to continue with Tri-Agency. What do they get from it?

Until the County Supervisors decide if they want to continue with Tri-Agency, the other members and Tri-Agency are on hold. The City, County and Harbor District all have economic development plans. The City and Harbor have made great progress separately. Imagine what can be accomplished if we all work together.

keep him out of our political hair for a while. And let the Republican Party rebuild itself into a credible political system.

Unfortunately, in the coming election, some votes will be cast not to elect who you think is the best candidate, but in some cases to minimize the chance of the opposing candidate winning.

I will say in closing: if Donald Trump wins the 2024 general election, I am moving! I am moving to Mars because even the Moon is too close to a planet where a majority of voters want a criminal to be our president and ruin our country.

was the Quillback was in danger of being overfished. Is the Quillback in danger? Very debatable, according to local anglers. Crescent City’s fishermen were dumbfounded and bewildered by the closure. Shutting down and wreaking havoc on an entire commercial and recreational local fishing industry is devastating to the economy. The visitor-based local economy was in deep trouble. The cancellation upset and altered plans for both commercial and recreational anglers and their families. This CDFW announcement was nothing short of chaos.

Apparently, the agencies overseeing the fishing industry were using unconventional methods to acquire relevant data to determine the population of the Quillback Rockfish.

The Community came together and spoke up forcefully.

Good news was on the ocean horizon.

Coast Central Members

Last week, captains Huber and Adams escorted six NOAA scientists (three on each vessel) to go fishing and acquire accurate data to justify keeping a valuable part of the Del Norte economy functioning. Results of last week’s two day data search were promising and encouraging. This first data step begins a three year survey of at least six of the 90 plus Rockfish species. The scientists have begun the survey data search and will report its findings to the PFMC via its Groundfish team.

“Without valid data, the future of a viable fishing industry is gloomy,” says Captain Huber. “It’s mandatory all anglers use an approved descending device to adhere to NOAA groundfish restrictions on fathom depth,” continued Huber.

The local Crescent City / Del Norte Fishing group on FaceBook organized and sent a representative to attend the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC) meeting in Garden Grove, late last year. The PFMC meets monthly and oversees fishing regulations in Washington, Oregon and California. Last week’s meeting was conducted in Fresno. Fishermen claimed the protocol for acquiring data to justify its decision on shutting down the balance of ocean fishing season was flawed. Local Vessel owners Steve Huber and Harry Adams attended and addressed PFMC commissioners and recommended updating the method to acquire imperative data to accurately determine the population of the Quillback and five other rockfish species by heading out on the ocean and conducting “Hook and Line” practices, with the intention of acquiring the vital data to develop a model in re-establishing commercial and recreational ocean fishing along California’s coast. The City and Board of Supervisors also sent representatives to this PFMC meeting. The effort worked.

• Effective in April,

commercial and recreational fisherman may fish at 50 fathoms or more, about 300 ft. CDFW met March 26 and will announce the exact date for its April opening.

• May through September the depth reverts to 20 fathoms, about 120 ft.

• October, the depth moves back to 50 fathoms.

• November through the end of the year, it’s 20 fathoms.

The new rules for ocean fishing are a bit complicated but doable. The descending device is absolutely essential, especially when anglers return fish to their depth zone. Any additional assistance or the purchase of the descending device is available at Englund Marine in the Harbor. Huber emphasized anglers should avoid fishing for any of the color rockfish. Captain Huber advises anglers to… “stick with the black and blue colors.

NOAA and the PFMC Groundfish team’s mission is to gather as much valid data as possible and submit its data to the PFMC for final recommendations to CDFW, and overseeing governance in Washington and Oregon.

Huber and the fishermen’s goal is to keep a viable fishing industry open and productive along the Northcoast.

NOAA scientists will be back on the water acquiring more data, in May with regular intervals of data research over the next several months.

It’s a very delicate balance.

Work progresses on the second

and shortly thereafter Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved advancement of the schedule, removal of Copco No. 1 ahead of the remaining dams, Iron Gate and JC Boyle, which are clay core earthen dams will remain at their full height until the Spring runoff period has concluded and the Klamath River has returned to baseline flows. Work on that deconstruction will likely begin in May.

The removal of Copco No. 1, Iron Gate is expected to be completed sometime this Fall, in time for Fall run of Chinook salmon. The restoration of the former reservoir footprints is underway and will continue for several years until vegatation is successfully established and water clarity has returned to baseline conditions.

Klamath River Dams-KRRC Sediment Plan A Ticking Time Bomb?

BY WILLIAM SIMPSON California Globe.com

The Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) has been misinforming everyone. And when everything goes wrong, they claim it’s “as planned.”

CONSULTANTS of Seattle, “ approximately 20.4 million cubic yards of sediments is trapped in the four lower most reservoirs of the Klamath River Project. Most of the sediment, 78 percent of the total of all dams is smaller than silt sized material.”

The 15 million cubic yards of remaining toxic lake bottom sediments pose a very real and significant threat to the ongoing health and recovery of the Klamath River. Genuine Advocates for River restoration might actually be interested in WHY the forgoing is true. And when dam removal Advocates learn the scientifically supported truth, they should be very alarmed and upset with Klamath River Renewal Corporation and its staff.

There is already arguable evidence that KRRC likely knew that there were toxins and heavy metals in the sediments that would impact human health, safety and welfare as well as the lifeforms in the Klamath River.

As a result of the sediments dumped into the main-stem of the Klamath River by KRRC, the Siskiyou County Health Department has had to issue a press release warning people to stay our of the Klamath River!

First off, in order to actually understand the exigent threat that remaining sediments present to the proper restoration of the Klamath River, we need to understand the nature and quantity of the sediments remaining in the now exposed canyon lake bottoms of the lakes that existed behind Iron Gate Dam, Copco 1 Dam and Boyle Dam.

According to a published 2006 Study of the Lake bottom sediments behind the Klamath River dams by GATHARD ENGINEERING

The study highlighted dangers posed:

• Fish will be impacted by the fine sediments.

Fish are happier with greater channel complexity.”

• Soil Erosion and Sediment Pollution.

• Excess eroded sediment degrades habitat. Suspended sediment decreases the generation of light into the water, affecting fish feeding and schooling practices. Sediment particles reduces the amount of light, depriving the plants of sunlight needed for photosynthesis. Excess sediment from eroding soils contains organic matter that contributes to oxygen depletion.

• It is a plain fact that just the 5-7 million yards dumped into the Klamath River, January 23, over the course of the next few days, killed the Klamath River.

Many people are aware thatbeven floods over wide flat valleys will stripoff cover crops and the underlying soils, move boulders and dislodge trees. Leaving these sediments in the line of the next flood is a ticking time bomb.

As responsible citizens who care about the health of the Klamath and its recovery, we must now demand KRRC remove all remaining polluted sediments, as soon as possible.

PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT TO QUIET TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY, NOT SUBJECT TO MANDATORY

ARBITRATION

Plaintiff alleges as follows:

1. Plaintiff is entitled to immediate possession and ownership of a parcel of real property (“Property”)

located in Curry County, Oregon, known as 42681 Arizona Street, consisting of 4.55 acres, MAP: 3215-29-01500-00 CODE 1-3, and more particularly described as:

Beginning at a point 870 feet West of the Quarter Corner between Section Twenty-nine (29) and Thirty-two (32) in Township Thirty-two (32) South, Range Fifteen (15) West of the Willamette Meridian; thence running North 521.78 feet; thence West 417.42 feet; thence South 521.78 feet; thence East 417.42 feet to the place of beginning, all in Curry County, Oregon.

EXPECTING THEREFROM those parcels conveyed by John C. Price and Ida M. Price to Oscar Potter and Odie Mae Potter recorded April 14, 1958, in Deed Book 52, page 655 and corrected by instrument recorded November 12, 1959, in Deed Book 57, page 259 and further EXCEPTING

THEREFROM that parcel conveyed by John C. Price and Ida M. Price, husband and wife, to Ben Potter and Dobra [sic] Potter by deed recorded November 12, 1959, in Deed Book 57, page 260. 2. Plaintiff is entitled to a percentage of ownership of the property legally described above by way of the following Estates: i. FRANCIS MARIE BARRINGTON, Curry County Court Case No. 04PR056. ii. KENNETH MELVIN HENSLEY, Curry County Court Case No. 07PR028. iii. GLENN EVERETT HENSLEY, DOD

March 30, 1998. iv. LYLE BYRON HENSLEY, DOD May 25, 2018.

3. The real property described above herein currently remains titled in the name of FRANCIS MARIE BARRINGTON, by way of Curry County Instrument No. 33-353 and 33-354 as shown on attached Exhibit “A” incorporated herein. KENNETH MELVIN

HENSLEY filed an Affidavit of Claiming Successor of Small Estate Administration of Testate Estate on July 20, 2004 under Curry County Court Case No. 04PR056 for FRANCIS MARIE BARRINGTON in which the real property is listed on the Inventory of the Estate. The real property was to be divided as follows: i. KENNETH M. HENSLEY (Francis’ son) - 1/4 interest. ii. LYLE B. HENSLEY (Francis’ son) - 1/4 interest. iii. NICKOLAS B. HENSELY (Francis’s son) - 1/4 interest.

iv. KYLE E. HENSLEY (Francis’ Grandson, son of Francis’ deceased son, Glenn Everett Hensley, DOD: 3/30/1998) - 1/8 interest.

v. SCOTT L. HENSLEY (Francis’ Grandson, son of Francis’ deceased son, Glenn Everett Hensley, DOD: 3/30/1998) - 1/8 interest.

4. The real property was never deeded out in the appropriate shares by Claiming Successor, KENNETH M. HENSLEY, and thus still remains vested in FRANCIS MARIE BARRINGTON. 5. KENNETH MELVIN HENSLEY passed away on January 3, 2007. His brother, LYLE B. HENSLEY, was appointed Personal Representative of his Intestate Estate under Curry County Court Case No. 07PR028. The real property described herein above was not listed on the Inventory of the Estate likely because Kenneth never received his share of ownership by way of deed from Francis’s Estate. Kenneth had no children. The heirs to receive Kenneth’s Estate and share of the Arizona Street property, by way of Oregon Intestate laws are as follows: i. LYLE B. HENSLEY (Brother) - 1/3 interest.

ii. NICKOLAS B. HENSELY (Brother) - 1/3 interest.

iii. KYLE E. HENSLEY (Kenneth’s nephew, son of brother, Glenn Everett

Hensley - 1/6 interest.

v. SCOTT L. HENSLEY (Kenneth’s’ nephew, son of Brother, Glenn Everett Hensley - 1/6 interest.

6. KENNETH M. HENSLEY (Francis’ son) 1/4 interest in the 42681 Arizona Street real property described herein above was never deeded out in the appropriate percentages by the Personal Representative, LYLE B. HENSLEY, who then passed away on May 25, 2018.

7. There has been no administration of LYLE BYRON HENSLEY’S Estate. He leaves behind two daughters who would be entitled to his Intestate Estate in 50/50 equal shares, including his percentage of ownership he was to receive in the 42681 Arizona Street property.

Lyle’s two heirs are:

i. LISA HENSLEY, KNA: LISA COX.

ii. JEANIE HENSLEY.

8. If the Arizona Street property had been deeded out accordingly in all three of the above estates, ownership would be as follows:

i. LISA HENSLEY, KNA: LISA COX- 0.1666 interest (1/6).

ii. JEANIE HENSLEY 0.1666 interest (1/6).

iii. NICKOLAS B. HENSELY 0.3333 interest (1/3).

iv. KYLE E. HENSLEY 0.1666 interest (1/6).

v. SCOTT L. HENSLEY 0.1666 interest (1/6).

9. Plaintiff, JEANIE HENSLEY owns the Manufactured Structure that sits on 42861 Arizona Street, Port Orford, Oregon. She has been taking care of the property and paying the taxes and insurance on the entirety of the property since 2018 to present. This process is necessary to cure prior title defects and vest title into Plaintiff, JEANIE HENSLEY.

10. The known heirs/ devisees of the FRANCIS MARIE BARRINGTON, KENNETH MELVIN

HENSLEY, and LYLE BYRON HENSLEY, all may claim some estate, right, title, lien, or interest in the property described above and however all known heirs/devisees have notified Plaintiff that they would be willing to sign a Quitclaim Deed and Release, granting any interest they may own to Plaintiff, JEANIE HENSLEY, the tittle company requires all known and unknown heirs/ devisees to be named as Defendants in this suit to produce a clean title.

11. Defendants including ALL OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES UNKNOWN CLAIMING ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR LIEN OR INTEREST IN THE REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE COMPLAINT HEREIN claims are without merit and Defendants have no estate, title, claim,

Artists Sought to Enter Annual Duck Stamp Contest

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) invites artists to submit their original artwork to the 2024-2025 California Duck Stamp Contest. Submissions will be accepted May 6-June 14.

The artwork must depict the species selected by the California Fish and Game Commission, which for the 2024-2025 hunting season is the mallard. One of the most abundant ducks in the world, and the most abundant duck in North America, these familiar foragers can be seen in practically any environment with fresh water. The males are easily recognized by their iridescent green head and yellow bill, while males and females have a patch of bright blue on their wings. They are swift and agile in the air, cruising at speeds of around 50 miles per hour and having the

ability to take off almost vertically from water.

The winning artwork will be reproduced on the 2024-2025 California Duck Stamp. Top submissions will be showcased at the Pacific Flyway Decoy Association, in July.

The contest is open to

Del Norte’s Gorbet, Rigden named all-league in basketball

BY RAY HAMILL For The Triplicate

Eight Del Norte players have received all-conference recognition in basketball, including two who were named to the Big 5 All-League team.

Senior Jacalyn Gorbet received the honor for the girls team, while junior Lyon Rigden got a firstteam nod for the boys.

Gorbet was one of two team captains for the girls team and played a lot of different roles while helping to lead the Warriors to a North Coast Section playoff win.

“Jacalyn was our most versatile player,” head

coach Dylan Nelson said of the standout forward. “She rebounded, handled the ball, made plays on both ends of the floor and was a captain from day one.

“If I had to describe Jac on the basketball court in one word, it would be determined.”

Rigden was equally impressive for the boys.

His head coach Cris Rice said Rigden brought a defensive intensity to the team and was a confident, strong and physical player.

“He was a good teammate and had a good attitude,” Rice added of the junior guard.

Russell provided a physical presence inside for the Warriors, who finished the season 8-16, including going 1-7 in the Big 5.

His coach also praised him for his rebounding presence and his touch in the paint.

Webster, a junior, was one of the Warriors’ best offensive players and was a consistent threat attacking the basket.

Six other Del Norte players received an all-conference honorable mention, including, Michael Webster and Kai Russell for the boys and Anyessa Bettega, Lauren Stutes, Tsinte Steinruck and Khloe Smith for the girls.

He gave the team “a

spark of emotion,” according to his coach, and was “always ready for competition.” All three of those Del Norte boys set the tone for their teammates all season.

“I enjoyed these three players and the intensity they displayed at each practice,” Rice said. “We’re hoping to build on this season for next year, with our returners and the guys coming up.”

Bettega, meanwhile, was one of the smartest players on the girls team and a four-year varsity player for the Warriors, who finished the season 16-10, including a 2-6 record in the Big 5.

“Anyessa has been one

of the most dangerous shooters in the league for four years,” Nelson said of the senior standout, who took her game to new levels this season. “Not only did she help in scoring, but she grew as a ball handler and facilitator.

“She has a very high basketball IQ.”

Smith started every game for the Del Norte girls this past season and was a key contributor on both sides of the ball.

“She was a stabilizing force on both ends of the floor,” Nelson said of the junior guard. “She is always listening, learning and applying.” Tsinte also raised the

level of her game this winter, and, according to her coach, grew as a player.

“She has always been a good competitor and max effort player,” Nelson said of the junior guard. “She rebounds and defends above her size and she made big shots for us.”

Stutes, meanwhile, is another junior who has been a force inside for the Warriors since breaking into the team as a sophomore.

And she was particularly effective on the glass.

“Lauren had an excellent year and was our best rebounder and interior finisher,” Nelson said. “She always has had an excellent attitude.”

Another player the head coach singled out is co-captain Brooklyn Carter.

The junior guard is one of the best 3-point shooters in the H-DNL but missed much of this past season through injury.

“Brooklyn didn’t get the opportunity to play in league so she wasn’t recognized, but it’s impossible for me not to mention what she meant to this team,” Nelson said. “Couldn’t ask for a more coachable and hard-working player and she was playing at a high level when she went down. She would no doubt have been a top-tier player in our league.”
