Girl, 15, and woman, 46, say they didn’t know their attackers
A 15-year-old girl was assaulted during a possible rape attempt by a
group of unknown males near the high school Monday evening and
authorities have made no arrests, the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office
said Thursday.
In an apparently unrelated incident, a Crescent City woman reported
being raped by a stranger early last Saturday, according to the
Crescent City Police Department. No arrest has been made in that case,
either.
The teen was assaulted by three to five males in a field near Del
Norte High School, said sheriff’s Detective Ed Fleshman, who added,
“There’s additional stuff that we’re looking into that would indicate
sexual assault.”
“It doesn’t appear that she knew them,” said Fleshman about the
assailants. “The assault was ended when a Good Samaritan interrupted.”

Fed funds delayed for local land deal
An impending acquisition that would transfer about 5,400 acres of
private timberland in the Hurdygurdy Creek watershed to the U.S. Forest
Service will likely take longer than expected because of the loss of
some federal money.
Initially, the U.S. Department of Agriculture allocated $1 million
in its 2010 fiscal budget to help the Smith River Alliance buy the
property from ALCO Holdings, LLC and turn it over to the Smith River
National Recreational Area.
But according to Smith River Alliance Executive Director Grant
Werschkull, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., decided to eliminate
that funding from the budget to allow more time for his agency to work
with Del Norte County and come to agreeable terms on the acquisition.
“It would have been great if we got it,” Werschkull said of the $1
million. “It just means things will happen on a slower basis.”
