The Crescent City Crab, Wine & Cheese Festival this past Saturday attracted more people than organizers planned for — “too successful,” as one put it.

An estimated 600–800 people walked through the doors of the Cultural Center and about 500 pounds of crab was sold.

“It went extraordinarily well in my opinion,” said Bill Renfroe, the executive director of the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority.

Local man’s body found in Oregon

Keith Richcreek had been missing since last Sunday

Read more...After nearly a week of searching, authorities found 85-year-old Crescent City resident Keith Gerald Richcreek’s body on the side of a road in a remote part of Douglas County, Ore., on Friday.

He was located about a mile from his truck, which was found on Thursday and appeared to have gotten stuck when he tried to turn around on a secluded Bureau of Land Management road about 15 miles from Interstate 5 near Myrtle Creek south of Roseburg.

There were no signs of foul play, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and a medical examiner will likely rule on Richcreek’s cause of death early next week.

The proposed 24-hour “Supercenter” would nearly double the size of the current Crescent City store and offer more merchandise and groceries.

The Crescent Heritage Coalition filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart and Del Norte County in 2008 over concerns about the environment and economic impacts of the expansion.

SALEM, Ore. — A century-old fight in California and Oregon over water from the Klamath Basin ended Thursday with signed agreements that assure farmers water and power to keep their crops green, and lay out the removal of dams that have blocked salmon from hundreds of miles of spawning grounds.

For decades, American Indian tribes, farmers, salmon fishermen and conservation groups have fought in courts and centers of power over who gets the scarce water in the basin — the farms and ranches through irrigation or the salmon and suckers in rivers and lakes.

‘Historic moment’ celebrated

Minutes after telling hundreds of people inside Oregon’s Capitol rotunda how four dams have sickened the Klamath River, its fish and his people, Yurok Tribe Chairman Thomas O’Rourke prepared to sign two historic agreements that in his words would “set the river free.”

Ever since he was a child, O’Rourke knew he wanted the dams out of the Klamath River. He said he saw firsthand the impacts the structures had on the waterway and those who relied upon it.

Salmon runs, once some of the largest on the West Coast, plummeted, threatening his tribe’s way of life. And toxic blue-green algae, formed in large blooms behind the dams, floated downriver, leaving skin rashes on those who dared enter the water.
