Sam Schauerman, the developer behind Roosevelt Estates, is seeking to build another housing development in Crescent City, this one closer to the downtown area.

Schauerman, owner of Elk Creek Builders LLC, will go before the Planning Commission on Thursday for an architectural review of a 14-unit townhome project proposed for 708 J Street. According to City Manager Eric Wier, when they are finished, the units will be available to rent at the market rate.

“They’re townhome styles with garages and separations between the different driveways,” Wier told the City Council on Monday, “so it’ll be a little bit different style than some of the other developments.”

Crescent City Harbor officials are pursuing a grant they say may turn a dredging dilemma into a valuable resource for projects like wetland restoration and beach enhancement.

The Harbor District is seeking $500,000 in California Regional Investment Initiative grant dollars for its beneficial reuse project. This project involves depositing about 10,000 cubic yards of dredge material along the beach near Whaler Island and assessing the ecological impacts. 

If there are no adverse impacts, the Harbor District may have an answer to a challenge that’s been plaguing it for years, according to Harbormaster Mike Rademaker.

City Council Recap, Jan. 5, 2026: Measure S Appointments, Cannabis Regs, Council Appointments

Leave a comment

Among the items discussed at Monday’s Crescent City Council meeting:

Measure S Oversight Committee: Crescent City’s newest city councilor objected to volunteer firefighter Dana Reno’s continued appointment to the Measure S Oversight Committee.

Steve Shamblin, who had been on the oversight committee before he was appointed to the City Council, said he felt it was a conflict of interest for Reno to be involved in both the committee and Crescent City Fire and Rescue. The oversight committee is tasked with ensuring Measure S tax revenue is spent appropriately, which includes partially funding Crescent City Fire and Rescue — a concern Shamblin raised on Monday.

Two weeks after the calendar ticked over to 2025, more than 100 Del Norte residents gathered at the Cultural Center in Crescent City.

Waving signs preaching “love not hate” and “united we stand,” they vowed to safeguard the rights of the vulnerable ahead of what they believed to be a dangerous presidential administration.

“Let us be on the right side of history,” Troy Lea said in a statement read aloud during the People’s March on Jan. 18, the first of several demonstrations Del Norters would take part in during 2025. “For our people, our nation and future generations whose lives will be shaped by the work we do here today.”

Leave a comment

Editor’s Note: KFUG 101.1 FM is Redwood Voice Community News’s parent organization.

Have you ever wondered what’s lurking around Orick after dark? 

Aisling Bludworth has and at 3 a.m. Sunday, she and Bryce Evans are going to regale KFUG 101.1 FM’s loyal listeners with a tale that turns on the roll of the dice.

“I have a real fascination with Orick,” Bludworth said of the former lumber community about 42 miles south of Crescent City. “It’s a tiny little town that I’ve passed through a few times. There are old buildings that are shuttered and quiet. Something about Orick calls to me — that’s the perfect setting for hunting monsters.”

Leave a comment

A week after the question over whether they have faithful performance bonds in place reached the Board of Supervisors, Crescent City Harbor Commissioners learned they would need a different attorney to resolve the issue.

County officials have raised a conflict of interest objection stating that the firm the Harbor District’s attorney works for also represents Del Norte, Harbormaster Mike Rademaker told commissioners at a special meeting Wednesday. 

Rademaker, who had spoken with Ryan Plotz, the district’s legal advisor, said the attorney had found a provision in California Government Code, 1481(b), that supersedes the Harbors and Navigation Code.

No Lighted Boat Parade This Year: With harsh weather in the forecast and only nine vessels participating so far, CCHD Board Chairman Rick Shepherd said the lighted boat parade will be canceled.

This decision came after fiscal officer Sandy Moreno volunteered to organize the parade at the Board’s Dec. 3 meeting. Moreno had proposed holding the parade this Saturday and commissioners agreed to offer a $25 utility credit to participants.

Patient Navigator Melissa Nelson described a tree in the lobby of Aegis Treatment Center’s Eureka clinic to illustrate an important facet of the care it provides.

Every patient that celebrates a milestone on their journey to be free of opioid addiction adds a leaf. It’s a reminder that someone cares about them, is available and will show up, Nelson said. That can mean a lot to someone in the throes of addiction.

“When you’re in the lobby, if you’re just waiting, you can look over and see what different patients have to say in that process of being celebrated,” Nelson told Redwood Voice Community News. “Maybe we’ll have a whale or something in Crescent City.”

Leave a comment

Update at 5 p.m. Wednesday: Shea Ramsey was found about an hour the California Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert in the Crescent City area on Wednesday. The 12-year-old boy is back home with his parents, Del Norte County Sheriff Garrett Scott confirmed.

Scott credited the alert as well as new technology that allowed the sheriff’s office to put out a notice that Shea was missing so quickly.

“We appreciate all the public support — the people that reached out and gave us information, it’s amazing,” he said. “This is why we were able to find him, it was somebody that got that alert and they called us.”

California Highway Patrol issued a localized Amber Alert in response to a 12-year-old boy that went missing from his parents’ Crescent City home Tuesday evening.

Shea Ramsey was last seen at about 9 p.m., according to the alert CHP issued on behalf of the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office. The boy’s parents reported him missing at about noon Wednesday, saying that he had walked away from the family home after a disagreement, DNSO Capt. Melanie Curry told Redwood Voice Community News.

Shea is about 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs roughly 90 pounds. He has blond hair and green eyes and was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black pants and black shoes.
