Balinese music and dance at Crescent Elk on Sat. [Daily Triplicate]
‘Art form is very colorful, both the instruments and the costumes’
A taste of Bali is coming to Crescent City.
Thirty-five members of Gamelan Sekar Jaya (GSJ), a company formed
more than 30 years ago in the Bay Area, will appear at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday at the Crescent Elk Auditorium, as the fourth performance of
DNACA’s 27th season.
“This art form is very colorful, both the instruments and the
costumes,” said Wayne Vitale, a director of the Balinese music and
dance group. “There are lots of gold, red and blue colors.”
Vitale — who acted as co-director of GSJ for 19 years, ending in
late 2009 — will also be playing a drum called a kendang. The kendang
is the lead instrument and, he noted in a recent interview, there are
only two drummers in the group; the other will be a guest artist from
Bali.

City to save $2M on state loan for treatment plant [Daily Triplicate]
Sewer rate changes now subject to state approval
Crescent City will save an additional $2 million in debt repayment on a $43 million infrastructure loan with the State Water Resources Control Board to improve the municipal wastewater treatment plant due to an unexpected provision in an amendment to the finance agreement that was approved Monday by the City Council.
In October, the state allowed the city to extend the repayment term of its loan from 20 to 30 years, something that would increase the total amount of interest accrued on the principal but ease the burden on ratepayers who had seen their bills rise to help pay for the new sewer plant.

‘A destination lodge’ [Daily Triplicate]
Timing depends on the economy, rancheria says
The plans are extravagant.
But when Elk Valley Rancheria’s new casino and resort will be built is not clear.
The resort will resemble a lodge in the woods, sitting high on a hill south of Crescent City framed by redwoods and Douglas firs, looking down at the ocean.
Elk Valley Rancheria officials said that the design and financing of the project is still being finalized and there is not yet a start date for construction.
“It may seem like it’s going slow, but we’re moving forward,” said Chris Howard, director of public relations, economic development and environmental services, during a presentation at the Economic Summit last Saturday.
