Crescent City to consider changing pool rates KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate

In order to keep up with increases in state minimum wage and subsequent hikes in payroll costs, the Crescent City Council is considering raising user fees for some patrons. In a presentation to the City Council, Recreation Director Holly Wendt and City Manager Eric Wier suggested raising some pool rates, as well as eliminating discounts for annual passes, to make up for rising expenses, and reduce the pool’s financial burden on the city budget. “We are going to have issues with sustainability and funding be-

cause of minimum wage increases,” said Wendt. In 2020, payroll expenses at the pool were $48,000, but that figure will jump to $60,000 in 2021 and $72,000 in 2022. The last fee increase for pool users came in 2018 when adult daily passes increased by 50 cents and family annual passes went up by $15. Since then, state minimum wage has increased by $3 per hour. What’s more, a recent fire at a chlorine tablet manufacturer has caused a nationwide chlorine shortage, driving up chlorine costs dramatically, according to news reports. Despite the rising costs, Wendt also

recommended reducing youth fees. She also recommended introducing a monthly pass to substitute for the 50-punch pass, which was recently discontinued by the council. The proposed revamp of the fee schedule breakdown is presented below:

Daily Pass ● Youth price from $5 to $4. ● Senior price remains at $5. ● Adult price from $5.50 to $6. Ten Punch Pass ● Youth price from $40 to $36 ● Senior price from $40 to $45 ● Adult price from $45 to $54

Monthly pass ● Youth price $40 ● Senior price $50 ● Adult price $60 ● Family price $120 Yearly Pass ● Youth price from $450 to $360 ● Senior price remains at $450 ● Adult price from $525 to $540 ● Family price from $1,020 to $1,080 Wendt also recommended minor increases to swim lesson fees and slide rental, as well as eliminating sale prices for annual passes. If all the changes were implemented, the estimated revenue gain to the city would be $21,000.

After a difficult year of lockdowns and bans on gatherings, local musicians are beginning to hear the music at the end of the tunnel. Tom Boylan is the one-man band known as Holus Bolus, which he describes as a “psychedelic acoustiloop.” Psychedelic because his music smacks of Pink Floyd and other psych-rock influences, and “acoustiloop” because Boylan uses a looper pedal to individually record instruments, including drums, guitars and shakers. Altogether, it’s as if Boylan has a full band behind him. Pre-pandemic, Boylan was performing up to 80 times each year and touring across the West often. In fact, he had a slew of shows booked in the Pacific Northwest when the virus struck last March. “All my shows got cancelled, like immediately,” said Boylan. “From the beginning of February to October, I didn’t play any gigs at all. That was the first time in my whole life that I didn’t have any gigs either with a band or my own solo stuff.” Boylan’s first gig in the post-lockdown era was on Halloween, which is also his birthday, at Zola’s On The Water in Brookings. With live music beginning to make a comeback, Boylan said he can tell listeners now have a deeper appre-

After the presentation, Mayor Pro Tem Blake Inscore said he was in favor of the fee changes. “I think our patrons value the pool, they want it to be sustainable,” said Inscore. “I don’t feel like the increases are going to price anyone out of the community.” Mayor Jason Greenough said changing the pool rates now would be a double whammy for residents, who recently saw a sales tax increase with the passing of Measure S. “I think there are other ways to fund this,” said Greenough.

A loosening of COVID-19 restrictions still remains just out of reach in Del Norte County. According to the county’s case data, it was close to a reduction last week, with data qualifying for the orange tier of virus restrictions, but a recent increase could squander that progress. The county’s April 18 through 24 case rate and test positivity rate were below the threshold for the orange tier of virus restrictions, according to data from the California Department of Public Health. After two weeks with rates at that level, the county could move to the new tier. A change in tiers would be the county’s first in three months, a longer wait than any other California county. The reduction would increase the allowable capacity in the county’s indoor bars, restaurants and other businesses. But the county has continued to report new cases of the virus. As of Monday, the county’s public health department was reporting 45 active cases of the virus, up substantially from 14 the previous Monday. Data from that week will be reviewed by state health officials Tuesday to determine the county’s latest level of restrictions. Last week’s data did have an impact for the rest of the state, with Los Angeles, San Francisco and Trinity counties all advancing to the yellow tier of restrictions this week. On the vaccine front, Del Norte County has now administered around 14,400 doses of the vaccine, according to CDPH data. Statewide, just over 40% of the state is fully vaccinated. County health officials are still holding weekly vaccination events on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds. Limited clinics are also available at Smith River Elementary School. Registration is available online at https://myturn.as.me/schedule.php or by calling 707-951-6679. Sutter Health is also offering clinics on Thursdays and Fridays. More information is online at www. sutterhealth.org/coast/for-patients/ health-alerts/covid-19-vaccine. A handful of local pharmacies are also offering vaccines: RiteAid is making appointments online at www.riteaid.com/covid-19, Safeway is making appointments online at www.safeway.com/pharmacy/covid-19.html and Walgreens is making appointments online at www.walgreens.com/findcare/vaccination/covid-19 or by phone at 1-800-WALGREENS.

The Smith River Fire Department will continue to offer fire protection services to the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation.

Smith River, tribe reach agreement on fire protection KNOX KERANEN The Triplicate

After a lengthy negotiation, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and Smith River Fire Protection District have worked out an agreement which will ensure the continuation of fire protection and emergency medical services on tribal lands in north county, including the Lucky 7 Casino. On April 24, the existing contract between the nation

and SRFPD expired. With negotiations stalled, citizens and lands were going unprotected. But, in an April 30 Facebook post, Tolowa Dee-ni’ announced a new intergovernmental agreement had been reached with SRFPD. “This agreement ensures that basic life support and wildland and structural fire services will continue to be provided to the Nation’s citizens and visitors to Tribal Trust lands,” read the statement.

Previously, fire protection and emergency medical services for tribal lands had been contracted by SRFPD in exchange for annual payments of about $6,500, in lieu of property taxes, which tribal lands are not subject to. Geoff Antill, project coordinator at SRFPD, said the previous “informal” agreement subjected fire volunteers to increased liability when operating on tribal lands. Additionally, the cost of fire and medical

services is greater than what Tolowa Dee-ni’ had been paying. Negotiations for a new agreement began after the SRFPD put in a request for payment to Tolowa Dee-ni’ nation last spring, including an annual $150,000 payment, which was “over 20 times previous year’s payments,” according to a March 5 press release by Tolowa Dee-ni’. In the release, Tolowa Dee-ni’ said the request included additional expenses

also, such as $250,000 to be used for the renovation of the former Ray’s Food Place building in Smith River, which is the proposed new headquarters for SRFPD. According to Tolowa Deeni’, the fire department was subjecting the nation to a new methodology for calculating fire protection costs, which was “patently unfair.” Antill said SRFPD never asked for funds for the purpose of renovating the proposed headquarters.

“Not exactly sure where that came from,” said Antill. “So much stuff came up on Facebook and a lot of it was just poorly informed. That was one of the things that got tossed around on Facebook.” Antill said the district is financially stable and will proceed with renovations of the former grocery store with, or without, support from Tolowa Dee-ni’ nation. Nevertheless, he said SRFPD may ask the nation for support with the project in the future.

Volunteers collected more than 2,500 pounds of trash during Earth Day cleanup efforts around Del Norte County.

Earth Day cleanups net over a ton of trash Celebrate Earth Day by getting your exercise picking up trash? Over 25 community volunteers did just that during the week of April 22, and through their efforts, more than 2,500 pounds of trash was removed from multiple public access, beach and park locations around Del Norte County. The Earth Day cleanup was organized by the Tobacco Use Prevention Program and the Smith River Alliance with help from the Del Norte Solid Waste Management Authority and Elk Valley Casino. Other partners included California State Parks, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Tobacco Free Del Norte and the Redwood Parks Conservancy.

“A major reason for our leadership on this cleanup effort was to bring awareness to how much tobacco product waste can be found at frequented areas within of our local state parks.,” said Crystal Yang, the health education coordinator for TUPP. “At our cleanup around Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, nearly 200 tobacco related items were collected, with 97% consisting of cigarette butts and 3% consisting of vaping materials. “Most of the tobacco product waste was found around the Day Use Area river bar where many visitors park. What people don’t realize is that cigarette butts leach toxins into our beautiful Smith River posing a threat to peo-

ple, fish and aquatic life. The Smith River is the drinking water supply for most of Del Norte County so obviously we want to encourage proper disposal of tobacco products.” Other cleanup locations included South Beach and adjacent coastal wetlands, the Elk Creek Trailhead, multiple sites within Tolowa Dunes State Park and the Point Saint George Heritage Area near the entrance to the Regional Airport. “We were grateful to partner with Crystal and TUPP,” said Grant Werschkull, co-executive director of the Smith River Alliance. “These are world class public resource areas around our community and it’s terrific to find new partners who are willing to work with us on cleanups and other stewardship projects.

The last thing we need is a gold mine By Marcie Carter As a citizen of the Nez Perce, or Nimíipuu, which means the People, I look at gold mining as a symbol of broken promises. In 1855, when my ancestors entered into a treaty with the United States, we ceded millions of acres in what eventually became Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In exchange we reserved an exclusive homeland and rights to fish, hunt, gather and pasture throughout our vast aboriginal territory. Then in 1860 gold was discovered, and thousands of prospectors flooded across our borders in violation of the treaty, damaging our sacred places and natural resources and causing unspeakable injury to our people. The United States failed to uphold the terms of the 1855 Treaty and instead forced the Nez Perce to enter into a new treaty in 1863. Known by us as the “steal treaty,” it reduced the size of our homeland by 90% and allowed miners and other non-Indians to remain on lands they had illegally occupied. When several Nez Perce bands led by Chief Joseph demanded that the United States uphold the promises it had made in the 1855 Treaty, and refused to move to the new reservation, the federal government resorted to military force, prompting the Nez Perce War of 1877. A century and a half later, the promise of gold once again threatens our homeland and way of life. The Stibnite Gold Project is proposed by Perpetua Resources, formerly Midas Gold, a Canadian company that recently moved to Idaho. The mine site is located within Nez Perce ceded territory in the headwaters of the South Fork Salmon River, a watershed that once was home

Marice Carter to one of the largest Chinook salmon runs in the Columbia River Basin. We have treaty-reserved rights in this culturally significant area, and have worked over the years to restore fish habitat that benefits everyone, an effort that cost millions of dollars. The Stibnite Gold Project would be one of the largest gold mines in the country. The company aims to extract between four and five million ounces of gold from three open pit mines during the estimated 21- to 28-year life of the project. Despite Perpetua’s claim that it will “restore the site” that is already heavily polluted by a legacy of mining, the proposal to expand the area and mine it again will add hundreds of millions of tons of additional mining waste and tailings. The proposal will also require storage of the new toxic waste, plus active water treatment long after the company is done mining the site. Perpetua’s mining would also restrict or prohibit treaty-reserved access for more than two decades or even longer. It would also destroy critical habitat for endangered Chinook salmon and bull trout and other resources cherished by the Nez Perce and all Idahoans. The Nez Perce doubt that

DEAR ABBY

Perpetua Resources will stick around if the mine is permitted by the federal government. Perpetua is now majority-owned by a New York-based corporation that recently replaced most of the mining company’s governing board. The company might opt to sell its shares for a huge profit and then exit the scene. A new corporation could then step in to extract gold, leaving behind a new legacy of toxic contamination and resource destruction that will plague our communities for generations to come. We know all too well the pattern of exploit-and-abandon. Corporations don’t keep their promises, and federal mining laws offer little or no accountability. We want this permit to mine gold denied. The United States, as a signatory to the 1855 Treaty and trustee to the Tribe, has a responsibility to protect and honor our treaty rights and resources. These treaty obligations, which predate the 1872 General Mining Law, are rooted in the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution and represent the solemn word of the United States. For us, the Nimíipuu, the value of the land, fish, wildlife and other natural resources will always be worth more than gold. Chief Joseph left us with these words that we will never forget: “It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.” The United States must not turn a blind eye to the Stibnite Gold project. We ask that this country honor Nez Perce treaty rights and protect the lands and resources important to all the people of Idaho.

HALF-SISTER OBSESSES OVER NEWFOUND BROTHER DEAR ABBY: Six months ago, my husband, “Lee,” met his long-lost sister, his father’s daughter from a previous marriage. Lee’s father passed away when he was 6; he is now 30. Since he and his four siblings met their half-sister, she has become obsessive over him. She calls and keeps him on the phone for hours, three or four times a week. I didn’t mind at first, but it has gotten out of control, and she constantly texts him. If Lee doesn’t respond, she texts him asking if he’s angry. She expresses how “in love” she is with him and how happy she is to have met him. (She doesn’t say these things to the others.) When I recently expressed my concern, he got offended. How should I cope with this? She also says unflattering things about me to him and tries to turn him against me. I know, because I heard the whole conversation. -- PUT OFF IN NEW JERSEY DEAR PUT OFF: Your husband may be flattered by the attention he’s receiving from this newfound sibling, but I agree that what she’s doing seems excessive. Your husband, however, is playing into it by being receptive and constantly available for these extended conversations and texts. While you can’t control who he talks to, you can express that you feel her behavior is out of line, you are concerned that she’s trying to undermine your marriage, and suggest it may be time to step on the brakes with Sissy. DEAR ABBY: I am attending my hubby’s 50th class reunion, where I will not know a soul. Can you give me suggestions on topics to talk about? We grew up in different areas of the country. We live on a small farm in the countryside and have kids and grandkids.

Mailing: PO Box 277 Crescent City, CA

Thank you. -- PREPPING FOR A GOOD TIME DEAR PREPPING: Go and enjoy yourself. Don’t be nervous. Bring pictures of your farm, your children and the grandkids. View photos of your husband’s classmates’ families and say something complimentary. (“Aren’t they adorable?”) Ask what your husband was like when he was their classmate. People love to talk, so be a good listener. Discuss things that interest you and inquire about their interests and activities. The only topics to avoid are religion and politics. DEAR ABBY: At 67, I’m an attractive woman. I always have been, but I have been out of the dating scene for several years. Now two men are interested in me. One is someone I know from work. I have known him a year. He told me he always had a crush but was afraid to make a move. The second guy is someone I just met on a dating site. I haven’t had a problem like this for 20 years! What to do? -- DILEMMA IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR DILEMMA: You don’t have to make an immediate choice. Keep things casual and get to know them both better, assuming you haven’t had a personal relationship with your co-worker. Take your time, let the relationships evolve. The answers will become apparent, and you won’t have to ask me what (if anything) to do. ----------------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

We blame the trees, but whose fault is it? By Pepper Trail Just like you, I live with the fear of wildfire. My southern Oregon town of Ashland nestles against the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains, whose forests become tinder in our hot, dry summers. One lightning strike or tossed cigarette on the wrong windy day, and Ashland could be destroyed as completely as the town of Paradise, California, in 2018. This reality was brought home with terrifying force last September, when a wind-driven wildfire roared through the nearby towns of Talent and Phoenix, destroying over 2,500 residences in a matter of hours. Ashland was largely spared, but only because the wind pushed the fire in another direction. Over the past several years, the city has implemented the ambitious “Ashland Forest Resiliency” project to reduce flammable fuels on thousands of acres of public lands. Tools in the Ashland Watershed include thinning and controlled burns. The project is considered to be a model ecological approach, not mere window-dressing to justify commercial timber harvest as is true of many “forest health” projects. As a homeowner, I’ve supported the project, and as a conservation biologist, I’ve been impressed with how it’s been carried out. Yet even as the city and its partners are diligently reducing forest fuels, more and more homes are being built in every nook and cranny of private land abutting the watershed. Many are McMansions commanding expansive views of the valley below. All these homes are at extreme risk of wildfire. As if the sense of crisis surrounding fuels reduction wasn’t enough, this adds another

Pepper Trail crisis, one we’ve made ourselves. Recently, I took a favorite trail leading from the edge of edge of town into the watershed. I always look forward to walking through an avenue of small manzanita trees. In spring, their pink urn-like blossoms are mobbed by bumble bees and hummingbirds. In fall and winter, their berries — the “little apples” that give these shrubs their Spanish name — feed robins, thrushes and bears. Winter storms turn these groves into an enchanted labyrinth of green leaves, red bark and white snow. Not this year. Not again in my lifetime. I found that this once intact and healthy wildlife habitat had been reduced to “defensible space.” The manzanitas had been harshly hacked back; those that had been spared stood isolated in a barren expanse of bloodred stumps. I counted the rings on one of the stumps, revealing that it had been at least 55 years old when we decided it was too dangerous to live. The Forest Resiliency Project considered these manzanitas a threat because they were close to the city limits — and even closer to the big new homes being built outside the city limits. They were sacrificed to increase our sense of security, and for no other reason.

They were mostly healthy and important for wildlife. They shaded the soil and hosted mycorrhizal fungi integral to the nutrient cycles of the forest. Yes, someday a wildfire would have burned here. But without our presence, that fire would not have been a tragedy, merely an episode in the long life of the land, and an opportunity for renewal. Manzanitas are well-adapted to fire; some species actually require fire for seed germination. Oregonians take pride in being environmentally aware. Yet we accept the ecological destruction of the “fuels reduction” paradigm, rather than putting limits on our relentless expansion into the rural landscape. Perhaps my town is becoming safer than it was before. But it’s questionable that any amount of “thinning” could protect Ashland from a wind-driven firestorm coming out of the watershed. The fire that destroyed much of Talent and Phoenix, Oregon, like many of last summer’s devastating California wildfires, did not start on heavily forested public land. Instead, it ignited and roared through a typical valley mosaic of creekside woodlands, orchards and residential neighborhoods. The hard truth is that for Ashland and many other towns around the West, avoiding catastrophic wildfire is as much a matter of luck as preparedness. Still, we have to try, right? That means some degree of fuels reduction. But we must acknowledge the losses to the ecological integrity, the habitat value and the beauty of this land that we love so much.

Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477- 7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 087456-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 3133319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 087456-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2231 HUNTER CREEK ROAD, KLAMATH, CA 95548\~ The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.\~ Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.\~ The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:\~ $176,872.18\~ If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.\~ The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.\~ NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:\~ If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.\~ NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times

woodworkers often look for burled wood because it is visually interesting. “Burl is like the diamond, that’s where the money is,” said Nylen. In addition to wood products, they sell honey from the Chetco Gold bee farm in Brookings, as well as unfinished wood products, including slabs, often made into table or bar tops.

Over time though, the owners began procuring carvings, in addition to learning how to carve themselves. Now, most of the work in the shop is their own, save a few pieces. As one of 301 in Hiouchi, Nylen said he welcomes you to pull over next time you are traveling along U.S. Highway 199, and see a sign that simply reads, “camp firewood, The Redwood Burl Co. in Hiouchi has woodcarvings and much more. honey, carvings, art.”

Freiwald, a prescribed fire and fuel technician at Redwood National and State Parks, said his songwriting has come a long way since he started 25 years ago. “You may not always just be writing about the one event, or one person, but you might combine multiple things that happened to you over the course of time, but they are semi-related and end

up making a tolerable song,” said Freiwald. Freiwald said he has used the last couple of months to regroup before he starts to perform in-person again. Both Holus Bolus and Zack Freiwald’s music can be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music. Holus Bolus will be performing at 5 p.m. on May 8 at Chetco Brewing in Brookings, and May 22 at Port O’ Pints in Crescent City.

Ultimately, the council decided to get more feedback from the community about the proposed changes, potentially via Facebook post. Wier said he would reach out to the county government to discuss a possible partnership, and a non-resident fee.

The work of Leslie Wilkinson will be on display at Manley Art Center during the Second Saturday Art Walk.

The first Second Saturday Art Walk of 2021 is planned from 3 to 5 p.m. May 8 at five venues in downtown Brookings.

Merkley, Wyden push to expand Smith River National Recreation Area to include Oregon Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced Tuesday they will be introducing legislation to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area by 58,000 acres, which would

protect the diverse ecosystems of the rivers, streams and adjacent lands of the North Fork Smith River watershed and help boost the local fishing and recreation industries that many Oregon

families rely on. In 1990, Congress enacted legislation to establish the Smith River National Recreation Area to protect the watershed, but the boundary of the NRA stopped at the Oregon border, leaving the North Fork of the Smith River and its tributaries unprotected. “When we come together to protect our state’s natural wonders, we can create jobs, protect resources, and make sure Oregonians can enjoy the beauty of our state for generations to come,” Merkley said. “Expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area is a commonsense win-win-win for our economy, adventurers across the Northwest, and those dedicated to preserving the ecosystems that make Oregon so special. I’m grateful to all of the local leaders, conservationists, and businesses who have been a part of this process so far and look forward to continuing to work together to get this bill signed into law.” “This legislation will create

jobs and preserve one of the largest undammed rivers in the nation so that generations to come can experience Smith River’s scenic beauty,” Wyden said. “Expanding the Smith River Recreation Area into Oregon protects our state’s world-renowned natural treasures while also investing in our local economies.” The Smith River is home to a rich assemblage of life forms — Coho and Chinook salmon, Coastal Cutthroat trout, the diverse Siskiyou Mountains forests, unique plants found nowhere else on earth and spectacular redwoods that tower over the lower river banks. The Smith River NRA’s scenic beauty, world-class fisheries and exceptional water quality attract adventurers who partake in water sports, fishing, hunting, camping and sightseeing. The NRA expansion would permanently withdraw the land from new mining claims, helping to protect this sensitive area from proposed nickel strip mines, and protect 74 miles of scenic rivers, including Baldface

Creek, Chrome Creek and nearby streams. In addition, the legislation would task the U.S. Forest Service with updating the recreation plan to reflect the new additions to the National Recreation Area, and produce a special study of streams, fens, wetlands and potentially unstable and vulnerable aquatic habitat areas. “The Smith River is one of the largest, single, undammed river systems in the United States and we applaud Senator Merkley’s leadership to protect Oregon’s portion. Expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area into Oregon to protect the North Fork and its tributaries will continue to support the region’s growing and sustainable outdoor recreation economy. We endorse the bill and look forward to its swift passage,” said Brady Robinson, executive director of The Conservation Alliance. “I thank Senator Merkley and support his efforts and legislation to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area in Oregon’s North Fork of the Smith

River watershed,” said David Brock Smith, Oregon House Representative HD 01 (R-Port Orford). “The Smith River is an important watershed in Southern Oregon and Northern California, providing critical salmonid habitat, drinking water and recreational opportunities, and I will continue to be a strong state partner in supporting the Smith River, its tributaries and the watersheds of Southwest Oregon.’” “I am happy to offer strong support for Senator Merkley’s work to expand our beautiful Smith River Watershed as part of our fabulous Wild Rivers Coast,” said Court Boice, Curry County commissioner. “The Kalmiopsis Wilderness and Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest are recognized as the most diverse, wild, unique, rugged and beautiful Landscapes in North America. This legislation will certainly help and is important for maintaining our pristine rivers and recovering the vibrancy of our salmon and steelhead runs.”
