"Intoxication suspected in capsizing"

This is the title of the story of an article in the Triplicate, that I am madder
than a bull in a red sweater about. I happened to be there at the scene and
participated in the rescue of Larry & Trudy. I have written the reporter,
the editor, other newspapers and the entire Del Norte County Board of
Supervisers requesting an investigation and exposure of this incident.

Here is the letter I wrote:

The Klamath River surges just below Merk Oliver's house.
Right now, the water is slightly turbid, clouded and green -
perfect for steelhead fishing..........

Setting the bar
March 6, 2008   Triplicate

American Indian student dropout rates have been on the decline—
especially in Del Norte County—and the 100 students honored
Tuesday exemplify that fact.

Del Norte schools and the local tribal governments held a
reception for honor roll students 7th to 12th grade at
Elk Valley Rancheria's community hall.
Those 100 are out of 316 students enrolled in school
and have a 3.0 or above grade point average.

Klamath school awarded $10,000 in grant money
March 6, 2008   Triplicate

The Klamath River Early College of the Redwoods is getting a little
extra push to help students make the transition to college.
The Lumina Foundation for Education, a private, independent
foundation based in Indianapolis, awarded $10,000 to
the school for non-tuition related expenses.

Bid awarded for Martin's Ferry Bridge repairs
The Times-Standard   03/05/2008
EUREKA -- With little fanfare and less discussion,
the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously
Tuesday to award the $4.8 million bid for repairs of the
Martin's Ferry Bridge to Mercer-Fraser Co., Inc.



**********************************************
Martins Ferry Bridge could reopen in June
February 21, 2008   TRIPLICATE
The Martins Ferry Bridge is architecturally similar to the one in Minneapolis
that collapsed in 2007 and killed 13 people. An inspection stemming from
that catastrophic event is the reason the bridge was closed in December.
