Though skeptical, Jason Greenough and Beau Smith will lead a committee exploring the development of a tobacco retail license for Crescent City.
Crescent City’s mayor and his colleague on the City Council said they were unwilling to dictate how businesses should run. But they were willing to give Amber Wier, program director for NorCal 4 Health, who brought the proposed tobacco retail license to the Council’s attention Monday, a chance to change their minds.
“From what the Council has been saying, it sounds like we want to at least explore the possibilities before we make the final decision on this,” Greenough said. “But I’m very hesitant to create another hoop our businesses have to jump through to do business in the State of California. It’s already difficult to do business in this state because of the strident regulations we have here.”

Councilors will allow Daphne Lambert to bring Del Norte Mission Possible’s Winter Shelter-in-Place program to the green space near the Crescent City cemetery.
They hope the program will help clean up one of the community’s primary concentration of homeless encampments, allaying property owners’ complaints about trespassing, illegal dumping and stream diversions.
Lambert says her program helps empower the unhoused to keep their camps clean in exchange for necessities like tarps, hand warmers and socks, food and candles. She also connects them with support services for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

The NFL has released the numbers for performance based pay earned by players from the 2021 season. Each team hands out $8.5 million to their players based on playing time and salary. Some of the team’s lowest paid players can earn a healthy bonus based on playing time.
Under the
Performance-Based Pay program, a fund is created and used as a supplemental form of player compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary. Players become eligible to receive a bonus distribution in any regular season in which they play at least one official down. In general, players with higher playtime percentages and lower salaries benefit most from the pools.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. The Ravens already added a veteran wide receiver by signing free-agent Sammy Watkins.
Baltimore has also been linked to several playmaking wideouts in this year s NFL draft, most notably with Terrace Marshall Jr. (LSU), Rashod Bateman (Minnesota) and Rondale Moore (Purdue).
However, if they don t land one of those players, the Ravens would need to find another playmaker elsewhere.
One player that would be a perfect fit in Baltimore is Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims.
Fourth Runner-Up In November Election Is Now a Crescent City Councilor
Ray Altman, the fourth runner up in the November 2020 Crescent City Council race, will have a seat on that governing body starting Monday.
Altman, who lost to Beau Smith by a narrow margin in the Nov. 3, 2020 election, will take the seat vacated by Alex Campbell. Campbell, who lives outside Crescent City limits, resigned from the Council after pleading guilty to one count of election fraud on March 2.
The four remaining Councilors voted unanimously Tuesday in favor appointing Altman to the empty seat. Three other candidates included Holly Green, Altman’s colleague on the Crescent City Planning Commission, Michelle Radison, who works for the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce, and Bay Area businessman James Belardi.
