From the pages of the Del Norte Triplicate for March 1950.

Citizens Dock was officially accepted by the Crescent City Harbor in an adjourned session with the stipulation that the dock shall not be mortgaged, sold or used as the basis for any loan for a period of five years.

Formal or public acceptance of the dock is scheduled during upcoming dedication ceremonies.

Funding for education has been decimated by the current state leadership. At a time when lawmakers mouth the importance of improved test scores and quality education, they are firing young teachers and increasing class sizes!

Locally, school district leaders are choosing to “balance the budget” on the backs of students, teachers, and support staff by laying off school site employees.  In our county, 10 percent of the Del Norte Unified School District teaching positions have been eliminated in the past three years. At the same time, administrative costs have increased with only a few reductions in days and no reductions in administrative positions.

One of my favorite pastimes as a former Warrior coach is to look back at past players position-by-position and try to pick my dream team.

As a former supervisor who was very involved in the matter of Tolowa Dunes State Park, Lake Earl flooding and the closing of Kellogg Beach to traditional uses, I take exception to Peter Douglas’ rantings at Del Norte County’s government decisions (“‘Rogue behavior’ cited: Coastal chief blames damage on the county,” March 4).
