Crescent City Harbor commissioners hadn’t gotten that far in their agenda last Tuesday when Board President Gerhard Weber asked a public commenter to leave.
The commenter, Alicia Williams, had stepped up to the podium a second time seeking to rebut statements a previous speaker had made concerning invocations at public meetings. She refused to step down after Weber reminded her multiple times that she had already spoken.
Weber wound up telling Williams to leave, saying she was disrupting the meeting.

The relationship between Del Norte and Takata high schools entered a new chapter Monday when a delegation of students from Rikuzentakata touched down in Crescent City for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the plane circled the runway for more than an hour due to fog, nine students and two teachers stepped off the tarmac to an enthusiastic welcome from their host families, the Del Norte High School Japan Club and Kamome Foundation members.
Before they accompanied their host families to pick up their luggage, each student received a gift from their American counterparts, former Japan Club members who are now in college.

Cathy Schneider and Gloria Bobertz began working with canines for different reasons, but they have the same philosophy in mind — a good dog never wants to stop.
They don’t have to instill this maxim in their 16-year-old colleague Jenna Phillips. Her dog, Juno, is still going despite being struck by a car last month.
“She’s starting to get up on her own,” Jenna said. “She can take a bunch of steps and she goes back down. The swelling has gone down a bunch. The bruises are gone. The infection in her belly is gone, and she’s more playful.”
