Assistant County Administrator Faces Felony DUI and Hit-and-Run Charges in Del Norte County; Arraignment

E. SCHWARZ For Country Media, Inc.

Randolph (Randy) Hooper, Assistant County Administrative Ofﬁcer for Del Norte, appeared in court for arraignment on July 15 in connection with felony charges stemming from an April 19, 2025, vehicle collision near Sand Mine Road and U.S. Highway 101. The incident resulted in a two-car crash with minor injuries to the other driver and led to charges of felony driving under the inﬂuence (DUI) and felony hit and run.

Presiding Judge Sara Olson acknowledged at the hearing that she was not familiar with the speciﬁcs of the case and requested additional time to review the police report and hear from the defense before further decisions could be made. During the appearance, both prosecution and defense indicated a willingness to explore possible plea arrangements.

Among the options discussed were participation in a ﬁrst offender DUI education program, mandatory attendance at three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week for six months, and additional diversion programs typical for ﬁrst-time DUI offenses.

At the time of his arrest Hooper given a breathalyzer by California Highway Patrol, (CHP), followed by a blood test which determined his blood alcohol was .18%. Legal limit for Driving Under the Inﬂuence (DUI) is .08%

Discussions on possible plea arrangements were interrupted when the victim, Megan Posta, age 35, of the collision—appearing remotely—objected to the potential dismissal of the hit-and-run charge. The victim’s statement prompted Judge Olson, as well as counsel for both sides, to decide that the hit-and-run charge would remain part of the case at this stage.

The court scheduled a preliminary hearing for August 26, 2025. At that time, Judge Olson expects to reach a decision based on her review of the evidence and potential plea agreements. Plea decisions could be entered prior to the preliminary hearing date.

Hooper was arrested and booked into Del Norte County Jail following the incident and released on a $225,000 bond. A public records search shows no prior criminal history for Hooper in Del Norte County. He remains in his administrative role with the county pending the outcome of legal proceedings. Hooper was unwilling to comment based on the advice of his attorneys.

Former Supervisor Clyde Eller Passes Away

His co-defendant, Megan Rae Warner, resolved her role in the incident through a plea agreement that reduced her charges to a misdemeanor conviction for possession of a destructive device.

On the evening in question, commercial and homemade ﬁreworks exploded during unauthorized sales activity at South Beach. The detonation caused injuries substantial enough to hospitalize 14 victims, one who was then a four-year-old

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

Two-term District 4 Supervisor Clyde Eller has passed away. Eller was 89. Supervisor Eller was living with his family in Sacramento unti he succumbed. He suffered from long-term Alzheimer’s Dementia and passed away in his sleep, July 8th. Eller owned and operated the Ft. Dick Market for over four decades and was elected to the Board for two, 4 year terms in 1994 and 1998.

According his son Kenny, Clyde was a highly- principled elected county legislator who never wavered on core issues. “I am the man I am today because of my Dad,” said Kenny. He was one of a kind.

“Clyde Eller was raised in humble beginnings in rural Humboldt County. One of ﬁve siblings, Clyde graduated high-school in 1953, married the love of his life, Dawn and for seventy years, the couple shared their lives. Clyde served honorably in the US Army, and returned to college to earn his Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. In 1981, Clyde bought the Ft. Dick Market from his uncle. Clyde and Dawn operated the highly successful market.

Kenny remembers his calling to help his fellow Del Norters...and he did it so well.

Kenny reminiscences Clyde was one of a kind. He successfully ran for the Board of Supervisors twice. His reputation for integrity and honesty was above reproach.

Posthumously, thank you for your service Supervisor Clyde Eller (1935-2025). You were indeed one of a kind.

Guest Commentary - Opinion by Samuel Strait

Harbor Commissioner’s Lawyer says Triplicate is Bias

Having read the article produced by the Triplicate’s Editor titled “Harbor Commissioner Sues Herself”, July 10,2025, I must admit, I am a bit puzzled. I’d heard Commissioner Nehmer had filed with the court but was waiting for the details to learn what her complaint was all about. I respect Annie Nehmer as a person, but clearly her legal acumen needs a bit more development. I would think in the legal profession there would be a way to sue someone without including yourself!

As to the complaint of “bias” by the Triplicate regarding her situation with the Harbor Commission perhaps her newly acquired lawyer can shed some light. No word of bias, or any word for that matter has come from Nehmer, herself.

After reading Editor Gitlin’s account several times, I find nothing screaming “bias” throughout the entire article. It is a simple rendering of facts surrounding Nehmer’s disagreements with her fellow

commissioners based on Gitlin’s attendance and observations at recent Crescent City Harbor Commission meetings. If there is anything factually incorrect in the article, Commissioner Annie Nehmer has had ample opportunity to correct the article’s deficiencies on page two of the Triplicate in any one of a number of succeeding issues of the Triplicate. Unfortunately, Commissioner Nehmer hasn’t so much as hinted she could provide evidence of such “false information” or bias in the Triplicate’s reporting.

If past mistakes in the Triplicate are any indication of Editor Gitlin practices, a notice of correction is readily found in succeeding issues of the Triplicate. Rather than having Commissioner Nehmer’s lawyer complain about nonexistent bias, perhaps the Commissioner herself would entertain the notion of an interview or an op ed of 750 words on page two of the Triplicate to explain exactly where such bias is located. I believe the offer is

still open.

Whispering in the ear of “Jessica Cejnar Andrews” with claims of bias will not change the facts reported in the Triplicate. Miss Cejnar is wasting her time thinking she has any credibility with the Triplicate and its content. Should she have actually attended a Crescent City Harbor Commission meeting in the recent past, she could have a glimmer of a chance of being credible, but she hasn’t. Living in Hawaii makes “executive news director”, Jessica Cejnar Andrews just another opinion, abet a distance one at that.

Until Commissioner Nehmer can shed light on her convoluted behavior while a sitting commissioner on the Harbor Commission, we all will wonder just what she thinks she is going to accomplish by adding to the Harbor’s financial woes other than the harbor’s early demise. Clearly, she is acquainted with the precarious nature of the harbor’s financial health. Mounting legal bills will do nothing but

make the situation worse.

Having seen the Commissioner’s court filing and the presiding judge’s response, I can’t help but believe there is more to the story than Brown Act violations. Since Commissioner Nehmer has failed to fill in the gaps, her legal filings appear more reactionary to Harbormaster Rademaker than sound and principled leadership.

In an earlier opinion article, written “Will the Children Please Leave the Room!”, July 10th in the Triplicate, it was very clearly stated, given the needs of the harbor, the antics between commissioners should cease immediately. There is no time for the commission to carry on in a disruptive fashion if the harbor is to turn its future around.

Crescent City has already endured decades of dysfunction at the harbor and should not be forced to experience more of the same. The current commission desperately needs to come together and begin to act like the mature adults elected to serve on the Commission. No one should

be thinking they always get what they want, because the world doesn’t work for the satisfaction of a single person. There is no bias directed at Commissioner Nehmer by the Triplicate in any way shape or form. Now end the legal gymnastics, Commissioner Nehmer, and do the job you were elected to accomplish, turn the harbor’s situation around. Act and behave like the commission is actually in charge, not as what we have seen thus far.

This is not an objective article but an opinion piece. I find when an adult initiate legal preceding’s against themselves to make a questionable point, there is more to the story. Until the story is complete, the adult cannot complain if a few stones are thrown. If there is no more to the story, then the children should leave the room.

Commissioner Nehmer either get over yourself or explain away. No bias intended.

Is the Planning Commission Kicking the Digital Can Down the Road?

By roGer Gitlin Country Media, Inc.

The Crescent City Planning Commission posted an interesting item, on the Thursday Last meeting.

A Public Hearing to consider a zoning ordinance amendment to allow digital signs was discussed.

The amendment was applied for by Dr. John Kirk, principal of Tsunami Lanes.

Following all the rules, Dr. Kirk was previously approved to allow the 4ft by 8ft sign at Tsunami Lanes, 101 South, but the City suspended the previous approval for zoning restrictions.

The signage includes

advertising and public service announcements.

The Planning Commission had three options: Approval, Denial or Continued Study.

The Commission chose Continued Study, expressing the impact of lighting (called NITS) off the 101.

Audience members expressed approval of the digital signage; nonetheless, Commissioners voted unanimously voted to study the matter.

The sign continues to operate with no public complaints.

The Planning Commission meets again Thursday, August 14 at 5:30pm at the Crescent City Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Pacific Power Foundation Awards

Over $300,000 in Grants to Advance Education and STEM Initiatives

E. Schwarz For Country Media, Inc.

The Pacific Power Foundation has announced the allocation of more than $300,000 in grant funding to 89 nonprofit and community organizations across California, Oregon, and Washington. These grants are dedicated to expanding access to quality STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and strengthening learning opportunities in the communities served by Pacific Power.

The Pacific Power Foundation, operating as the charitable arm of PacifiCorp in the western United States, has a longstanding history of supporting local organizations and initiatives. Since its establishment in 1988, the foundation has awarded over $80 million to nonprofit organizations, underscoring its enduring commitment to community growth and vitality.

Ryan Flynn, director of the Pacific Power Foundation and president of Pacific Power, emphasized the foundation’s ongoing mission: “The founda-

tion is delighted to support local organizations that uplift the next generation of STEM professionals. We are truly inspired by the communities’ efforts in opening doors for the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.”

This most recent round of grant funding, totaling $313,000, is part of one of four annual grant cycles. The foundation’s focus on STEM and educational initiatives reflects a recognition of the vital role these fields play in preparing young people for the challenges of the modern workforce.

Among the organizations receiving support are: Tolowa Needash Society here in Del Norte County. Funding will help build the Xwii-t’ii-dvn (People’s House) and a storage unit at Nii~-lii~-chvn-dvn Ne’sr-dash-dvn (Dance Place). This project provides the Tolowa Dee-Ni Nation with an upgraded space for community gatherings and cultural events.

Mt. Shasta Museum Association in Siskiyou County. The

grant will enable the museum to offer expanded STEM activities during its Science Saturdays program, encouraging families to engage in science learning together.

The Pacific Power Foundation typically awards grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 per recipient, with most grants falling between $2,000 and $5,000. However, the precise figure for Del Norte County’s allocation in this grant cycle has not been disclosed

The foundation’s history of charitable giving demonstrates a consistent focus on education, youth engagement, and community enrichment. Over the years, previous grants have supported a diverse array of programs, including:

• After-school STEM clubs in rural school districts, providing resources for hands-on learning and mentorship.

• Scholarship programs for underrepresented students pursuing degrees in science and engineering.

• Community science fairs and

robotics competitions, helping foster interest in technology and innovation among young learners.

• Teacher training workshops aimed at equipping educators with the tools to inspire and educate future generations in STEM fields.

These investments have contributed to increased access to educational opportunities, particularly in underserved and rural areas, and have helped build a foundation for long-term community resilience and growth.

The Pacific Power Foundation is one of the largest utility-endowed foundations in the United States. Its mission, through charitable investments, is to support the growth and vitality of the communities served by Rocky Mountain Power and Pacific Power. The foundation operates in six states, serving over two million customers as Rocky Mountain Power in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, and as Pacific Power in Oregon, Washington, and California.

By offering four grant cycles each year, the foundation ensures

a steady stream of support for organizations addressing a wide range of community needs. The latest round of grants, with a strong emphasis on STEM and education, reflects the foundation’s understanding of the transformative power of knowledge and opportunity.

As communities continue to navigate the evolving demands of the 21st century, the Pacific Power Foundation’s support of educational and STEM initiatives remains an important resource. The foundation believes that investing in the next generation of leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers, the fit is helping to lay the groundwork for a more equitable and prosperous future.

Del Norte County Fair 2025: Tradition, Community, and Excitement

E. Schwarz For Country Media, Inc.

The Del Norte County Fair returns to Crescent City from July 31 to August 3, 2025, promising four days of celebration rooted in local tradition and community pride. This year’s fair continues its mission to foster agricultural education, support youth development, and provide accessible, family-friendly entertainment for all residents and visitors.

Grandstand Events: The Main Attraction

The grandstand at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds will host a series of high-energy events, all included with gate admission:

• FMX Rampage: Friday, August 1, 6:00 PM

A brand-new addition, this freestyle motocross event brings professional riders performing gravity-defying stunts and aerial tricks, sure to thrill motorsports fans.

• Challenge of Champions: Bulls, Broncs & Barrels: Saturday, August 2, 4:00 PM

Rodeo action returns with bull riding, bronc busting, and barrel racing, featuring both local and regional talent.

• Malicious Monster Trucks & Tuff Truck Competition: Sunday, August 3, Pit Party 12:30–1:30 PM, Showtime 2:00 PM

The Malicious Monster Truck Insanity Tour headlines the closing day, with fan favorites like Titan and Identity Theft crushing cars and flying high. The Tuff Truck Competition offers a $1,000 prize, inviting local drivers to test their mettle on a challenging obstacle course.

All grandstand events are included with general admission, and seating is first-come, first-served.

Beyond the Grandstand: Community and Family

The fair’s grounds bustle with a broad range of activities:

• Junior Livestock shows: youth from across the county exhibit cattle, sheep, goats, and more, showcasing months of hard work and agricultural skill.

• Competitive exhibits: local crafts, culinary arts, floriculture, and fine arts are on display, highlighting the creative spirit of Del Norte County.

• Midway of fun carnival: classic rides and games provide thrills for all ages, with separate wristbands available for unlimited rides.

• Live music and stage performances: local bands and entertainers will perform throughout the fair, creating a lively backdrop for the festivities.

• Family activities: magic shows, petting zoos, and interactive exhibits ensure there is something for everyone.

At the heart of the Del Norte County Fair is its mission: to serve as a hub for community connection, agricultural education, and youth opportunity. Under the leadership of CEO Kimberley Floyd, the fair has embraced modernization and inclusivity while holding fast to its roots.

Floyd’s tenure has seen expanded youth programs with more opportunities for local youth through scholarships, competitions, and leadership roles. During her tenure community partnerships have expanded, collaborations with local schools, nonprofits, and businesses which broaden the fair’s impact. She has initiated sustainability initiatives and efforts to reduce waste and improve fairground facilities for future generations. Her vision is said by many to have revitalized the fair, ensuring its relevance and vibrancy in a changing world.

Over the past decades, the Del Norte County Fair has evolved in response to both challenges and opportunities. Many facility upgrades have been made - to the grandstands, livestock barns, and exhibit buildings have improved accessibility and safety. The fair has weathered reductions in state funding by increasing community support, volunteerism, and creative fundraising. Another change has been the entertainment lineup which now includes extreme sports, contemporary music, and multicultural events, reflecting the county’s growing diversity.

Clyde was born on September 6, 1935, in Eureka, CA and spent his childhood years in Fieldbrook, CA where he met his lifelong love, Dawn Anker. Clyde and Dawn grew up together in Fieldbrook and spent their lives together. This September would have marked their 70th wedding anniversary.

Clyde attended elementary school in Fieldbrook in a one-room schoolhouse with the same teacher for all eight years. He said when the school acquired too many students, a wall was built down the middle of the room making it a tworoom schoolhouse: just with less room to move. Clyde continued his education at Arcata High school where he excelled in basketball and track and ﬁeld. Some of his track records remained unbroken a full 30 or more years after his graduation and could be seen recorded on the Arcata High school gymnasium walls. In 1953, Clyde joined the United States Army and performed duties as an Air Defense Artillery technician.

Seeking ways to further his career, Clyde transitioned to military intelligence where he enjoyed tours in Taiwan, South Korea and Germany as well as several state side postings. While stationed in Tiawan, Clyde served on the Special Advisory Group to Generalissimo Chaing Kai-shek, the leader of the Nationalist government in free China. He received a personal award from the General for his efforts. In Helsinki, Finland while on Foreign Embassy Duty, Clyde covered the Strategic Arms and Limitation Talks (SALT); Clyde also served Special Security duty in Germany, where he was the personal intelligence briefer to General George S. Patton IV during the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Midway through his military career, Clyde earned his Bachelor of Science degrees in business and psychology from Campbell College in Fayetteville, NC. He furthered his education at Northern Colorado University earning a Master of Science in Psychology. He also completed postgraduate work at the University of Arizona in Public Administration.

Toward the end of his military service, Clyde took advantage of his education and transitioned to the Army

OBITUARY

Medical Corps serving as a psychologist and practiced in the Army’s Mental Health efforts. He was the only enlisted member in the Army at that time with the education and credentials to serve as a clinical psychologist on active duty. He retired from the Army in 1975 and continued his psychology and counseling practice for the state of Arizona until 1979 as the state Child Abuse Prevention Coordinator, the ﬁrst of its kind for the state of Arizona. In 1981, Clyde decided it was time to leave his private counseling practice when he and Dawn purchased the Fort Dick Market from his older brother Bud and moved the family “home” to Northern California. Clyde and Dawn entered the grocery business unaware but unafraid. For nearly 40 years, they operated a successful local grocery store, Eller’s Fort Dick Market by placing strong emphasis on the needs of the community.

Clyde continued counseling and giving sage advice from behind the counter to those who would listen.

Having come from humble beginnings, Clyde extended his hand and heart to those who needed him. Even when he was taken advantage of at times, he would smile and know it

helped someone who needed it more than he did. You will never know a more honest man who tried more to help his community.

Clyde’s community postings and accomplishments include serving two terms as the Del Norte County Supervisor for District Four, he served on the Del North County Grand Jury, the Del North County Planning Commission and on the Fort Dick Fire Protection District Board of Directors. Clyde loved politics but always approached it from the lens of making things better. A needlepoint plaque given to him by members of his district hung on the wall of his County Supervisor ofﬁce and quoted Abraham Lincoln, “Government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

Clyde is survived by his wife of nearly 70 years, Dawn Eller, Daughter Lenneé Eller, Son Gary “Mac” Eller and his wife Donna, Kenny Eller and his wife Rose. He had ﬁve grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Lessie Eller of Fieldbrook and his siblings Claria Wagle, GC “Bud” Eller, Ralph Eller, and Donald Eller.

In Clyde’s case, that dash contains a life full of many joys: service to others, determination, focus, love for his family, caring and nurturing others; making that “dash” as full as it could be.

For those in the Humboldt and Del Norte County communities, Clyde would much prefer you to celebrate his memory with a glass of wine and great stories shared by family and friends. His most voiced words of wisdom ring truer now than ever, “Nothing is ever good or bad, only

thinking makes it so.”

To our Husband, Dad, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, we do not say goodbye, for he lives in our hearts and minds. Our family carries his legacy of wit and wisdom. We consider ourselves the fortunate ones as we were blessed enough to have been loved by such a magniﬁcent soul. His children could not have wished for a more loving and caring dad.

Poet Jodie Hollander

Brings Forest-Focused Workshops to Del Norte

Acclaimed Poet to Lead “Poetry in the Parks” Series in Redwood National and State Parks

E. Schwarz For Country Media, Inc.

This August, internationally recognized poet Jodie Hollander will bring her celebrated “Poetry in the Parks” workshop series to Del Norte County, California, in partnership with the Redwood Parks Conservancy. The threepart series will be set amid the ancient redwoods and encourage participants to explore Hollander’s concept of the intersection of poetry and place where she draws inspiration from the towering forests and wild landscapes of our region.

Hollander, originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is known for her lyrical, emotionally resonant poetry, intensely influenced by her upbringing in a family of classical musicians. Her debut collection, My Dark Horses, and her second book, Nocturne—listed for the Laurel Prize in nature writing—have established her as a major voice in contemporary poetry. Her work has appeared in leading journals such as The Poetry Review, The Yale Review, and The Harvard Review, and she has received prestigious fellowships, including a Fulbright and a MacDowell Colony Fellowship.

A defining feature of Hollander’s recent work is her focus on the natural world, particularly forests. In interviews, she has described nature as a space for healing and refuge, especially in the aftermath of personal trauma. Her poems often use the landscape—storms, trees, and the quiet of wild places—as metaphors for emotional journeys. This forest focus is central to her upcoming workshops in Del Norte, where participants will be encouraged to “translate their most powerful impressions of the natural world into a polished, musical poem”.

The “Poetry in the Parks” workshop series will take place at the Prairie Creek Visitor Center along the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, deep within the redwoods. The first session, titled “Nature Poetry,” will guide attendees in crafting poetry inspired by the forest’s sights, sounds, and atmosphere. The workshops are open to all, regardless of experience, and are designed to foster a deeper connection to the land through creative expression.

The Redwood Parks Conservancy, which organizes the event, emphasizes the importance of fostering “understanding, enjoyment, and stewardship” of public lands. Hollander’s workshops align closely with this mission, offering a unique opportunity for both locals and visitors to engage with the landscape in a new and meaningful way.

While Hollander’s poetry has long explored themes of nature and refuge, this marks her most significant engagement with Del Norte County and its iconic forests. The collaboration with Redwood Parks Conservancy and the National and State Parks is a natural extension of her “Poetry in the Parks” initiative, which she has led in other national parks across the United States. Her arrival in Del Norte is anticipated to deepen her connection to the region and inspire new work rooted in the redwoods.

Jodie Hollander’s presence in Del Norte this August is more than a series of workshops; it is an invitation to experience the forest through the lens of poetry. By merging her personal history, artistic accomplishments, and passion for the natural world, Hollander hopes to inspire others to find solace and meaning among the trees.
