Works by art students in Hoopa are on display at the Del Norte campus of College of the Redwoods through February.

They have produced hundreds of colorful, eye-catching prints inspired by their native culture that are now on display at the CR Del Norte campus.

On Friday there was a reception for the exhibit, which will be up through February. The college is open weekdays only.

The Family of Maxine Freiwald would like to take this opportunity to thank the management and staff of Addie Meedom house for the excellent care and personalized loving attention they gave to our mother during the time she was a resident.

As our mother’s health declined, the staff graciously devoted more time and resources to her care and to the wellbeing of our family. The support and love from the Addie Meedom house team helped our family through our mother’s last days and allowed her to pass in a peaceful and dignified manner.

Eleven North Coast Small Business Resource Center-Del Norte Office (NCSBRC) clients presented their business plans, received their Certificates of Completion and celebrated their graduation from the eight-month 2011 Del Norte Enterprise program.

Mayor Kathryn Murray presented the certificates and congratulated the graduates during a celebration at the Family Resource Center on Jan. 16. “Small businesses are the backbone of our community and our country,” she said. “You and your businesses create jobs, provide needed goods and services and help fuel our economy. I am proud of you and your efforts to start and grow your businesses in our community.”

Speaking to the Crescent City Women’s Club during a luncheon last week, health and beauty entrepreneur Susan Elizabeth Santsche reminded the ladies to take care of themselves.

Santsche, a native of Crescent City, owns a spa, Personal Choice, in Eureka, where she is a business consultant and author.

She told the women that their lives can be what they want them to be and now is the time to think, “What do I want to create in the second half of my life?”

Candace Fugate and Ryan Forsht of Crescent City were married Sept. 10, 2011, in a ceremony on Lower Lake Road performed by Rev. Zachery Eacret.

Candace, a 2003 graduate of Del Norte High School, is the daughter of Kevin and Lynn Fugate of Crescent City. She earned her associate’s degree from Columbia Basin College in Pasco, Wash., in 2007 and is currently employed by Sun Seekers and Greenscapes.

Editor’s note: The Del Norte 4-H column appears every four weeks. To day’s column was written by Christine Jones and Valerie Machado.

On Feb. 3 and 4, local 4-H members will be traveling south to Ukiah for Redwood Empire’s second Hands-On Junior Livestock Expo.

So far members from four local 4-H clubs plan on attending. The expo is being put on by Mendocino County 4-H and FFA.

Most participants will be attending an ethics workshop.  Attendance at an ethics workshop is mandatory for all local youth who show market animals at the Del Norte County Fair.

Ex-referee Tunney set to visit DN

NFL referee Jim Tunney confers with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana during an NFL game. Tunney was an NFL official from 1960–1991, including time as a referee from 1967–1991. He refereed three Super Bowls during his officiating career. Submitted

Despite their zebra stripes, seven-member officiating crews typically blend into the background, and even when all eyes are upon them it is rare for more than one official to be the focus of attention.

But make no mistake. There are 29 men on the field, not 22, on three teams: two in competition and one trying to keep the other two playing fair.
