Smith’s Chinook numbers are the highest in decades
 One of the numerous salmon returning to the Smith River this week makes a direct hit on a concrete block near Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery. Observers say the number of returning fish is the highest in decades. See coverage on Page B1 and still more images at triplicate.com/photos. (The Daily Triplicate/Bryant Anderson)
The Smith River and its tributaries are seeing one of the largest runs of Chinook salmon in decades.
The basin’s rivers and creeks are so full that in some spots it
seems like a dexterous person could walk across the backs of fish from
one side to the other.
The spectacle was at its best at the Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery early Tuesday evening.

Submitted Photo In the middle of the 1980s, the Flossie Johnson Memorial Food Pantry opened its doors at the Smith River United Methodist Church, and those doors have never closed. The bank was originally opened to provide assistance to agricultural workers during the off-season, but it now extends services to all who are in need, no questions asked. Through the end of November, the food bank had provided 285 food boxes to members of the community. In addition, 42 Thanksgiving food boxes were also given to needy families. To help support the efforts of their neighbors, the Crescent City United Methodist Church conducted a food drive during October and November, collecting 730 items of food as well as monetary donations. Under the leadership of the Sunday School classes, the food was collected and presented to Pastor Steve Pudinski of Smith River on Nov. 22.

Members and art afficionados from Del Norte County and other areas converged at Crescent Harbor Gallery on Saturday for its annual Christmas Potluck Party.
According to members, the event has been going on for 48 years.
More than 30 people arrived throughout the day and the gallery was packed with people looking at art, as well as eating.
The Coast Redwoods Art Association (CRAA) is the non-profit organization that runs the gallery.
Chuck Keeley, president of the CRAA, noted the gallery holds art demonstrations each month. The gallery schedules art classes for all age groups as well.
On Saturday, however, Keeley was definitely a fan of the food, and had just scraped his plate before speaking with The Triplicate.
“Well you’ve heard the term ‘starving artist?’” said Keeley. “This is a way to make up for that.”
