FIFTH DISTRICT – Trinidad area resident Sungnome Madrone has announced that he is running for Fifth District Supervisor. Madrone, a resident of Humboldt County for the past 44 years, is the first candidate to publicly announce that he is running for the seat, now held by Supervisor Ryan Sundberg. The sprawling Fifth District includes McKinleyville, Trinidad, Orick, Fieldbrook, Willow Creek and Sungnome Hoopa. Madrone A primary election will be held on June 5, 2018. If a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the candidate wins the race. If there are at least three candidates, and none of them receives more than 50 percent of the vote, then the top two voter getters face off in November 2018.

HUMBOLDT STATE – Twenty-seven years ago, Carol Harrison wrote a history story that resonates today. She was assistant sports information director at Humboldt State University. Her story began: “The legacy of the 1960 Humboldt State football team goes well beyond the gridiron, even though six of its members are in the HSU Athletic Hall of Fame and it sported the lone perfect regular season in Lumberjack football history.” The undefeated Jacks faced North Carolina’s Lenoir-Rhyne in the NAIA national championship game in segregated Florida.

VALLEY WEST – Travel west from Arcata, and you reach the Pacific Ocean. Head to the town’s southern edge, and you find Humboldt Bay. Now, a trip to Arcata’s far northern end also delivers you to water, and in no less than a public park. The Carlson Park Mad River Expansion Area is a 19.1 acre area mostly on the river’s wooded southern bank. Dense with willow, cottonwood and alder trees as well as blackberry bushes, it’s laced with sandy paths through the green that lead down to the river. An area designated as Carlson Park lies at the edges of the Mad River Parkway Business Center, which opened in 2013. Interestingly, the park extends all the way across the Mad River, and includes some of the north bank in what one might have assumed was part of McKinleyville.

Mack Town working on racism issue McKINLEYVILLE – Leaders in McKinleyville are slowly developing a strategy to combat racism. But what, exactly, that strategy will include has yet to be determined. “We’re at the conceptual stage with this,” said McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee (McKMAC) member Craig Tucker at an Aug. 30 meeting at McKinleyville Middle School. More than 50 residents turned out for the standing-room-only meeting. Tucker explained to his fellow committee members and those in attendance that an informal group called the Working Group on Race met on Aug. 18 and discussed a variety of ideas on how to address race relations. Present at the meeting were Tucker, McKMAC chair Ben Shepherd, Sheriff William Honsal, local clergy and representatives of the Humboldt Area Foundation, McKinleyville Family Resource Center, McKinleyville Middle School and the McKinleyville Community Services District. Tucker said that the group wants to do some-

Cannabis workshops Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – The county is taking a significant step toward updating its commercial marijuana regulations by opening the floor to public comment on a new draft ordinance. The county’s Planning Commission will hold a public workshop on the draft at its Thursday, Sept. 7 meeting. A second workshop is set for the commission’s Thursday, Sept. 24 meeting. Both meetings begin at 5 p.m. at 825 Fifth St. in Eureka A contract with a consulting firm on developing a new ordinance and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was approved

by the Board of Supervisors last April. The commission will eventually forward recommendations to supervisors. The existing ordinance was done under a tight timeframe and Proposition 64, the state’s Adult Use of Marijuana Act, was approved by voters afterwards. Proposition 64 expands the range of commercial marijuana licenses, including license types that allow for mixing cultivation with retail sales and onsite manufacturing. Those licenses would allow businesses that are comparable to vineyards, where wine is produced, grapes are grown and wine is consumed onsite in tasting rooms. The new ordinance will also include a repeal of the Dec. 31, 2016 deadline for

submitting commercial production permit applications. The scope of the ordinance will also be expanded. The current ordinance directs commercial cultivation into agriculturally-zoned areas but limits that to areas with prime agricultural soil. The new ordinance draft includes non-prime soil sites to open up possibilities for relocating existing grows into areas that have power, water and road access. With the prime soil requirement, the county wanted to limit the number of properties available for production. But planning staff has told supervisors that using prime soils as a basis has the unintended consequence of increasing prices for agricultural land and offsetting the goals of land trusts.

There are also impacts to residential areas adjacent to prime soil areas. The revamped ordinance includes new requirements for sites that are within the spheres of influence of cities. The draft requires a special permit process, which includes public hearings if neighbors request them, for any commercial marijuana activities within a city’s sphere of influence, within 1,000 feet of a city border and within 1,000 feet of tribal areas. Other items that will be considered as the county moves ahead include additional restrictions on generator use and odor, and streamlining permit processes for water storage. Final public hearings on the ordinance and its EIR are expected late this year.

‘We ate at the same table, showered in the same place’ ARCATA – William M. “Bill” Joy, who turns 82 in two weeks, played football at Humboldt State in the early 1960s, when the Civil Rights Era was in full swing. A half-century ago, as Americans finally began confronting our shameful history of inequality, Humboldt State College (as it was known) was racially integrated. “Hell, we had a bunch of black players on our teams, and I’m talking good ones,” Joy said. Joy remembers running back Wendell Hayes, a three-sport standout at Humboldt State who went on to a 12-year career in the NFL, including as a starter on the Kansas City Chiefs team that won Super Bowl IV against the Minnesota Vikings in 1970. “We didn’t have discrimination of no kind,” Joy said. “We were all the same. We didn’t have any trouble.” “We ate at the same table, we showered in the same place, we put our shoes on, our socks on, our britches on, next to one another,” he said. After a stint in the U.S. Navy, the 26-year-old Joy enrolled at Humboldt State and earned a degree in physical education. He played on the offensive line as left guard under coach Phil Sarboe from 1962 through 1964 – the year Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize and the Civil Rights Act became law. Was he a starter? “Hell no,” Joy said with a laugh. “I wasn’t worth a shit.” Actually, he was a good player who saw action in most games and started a few of them. Joy was on campus in math class when he heard that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, during his second season as a Jacks football player. Classes ended early that day. A resident of Portales, New Mexico, Joy was in Arcata recently to visit friends, pick a bunch of Himalayan blackberries, and meet football head coach Rob Smith. He watched a recent Jacks practice. He’s come back to Humboldt regularly over the decades. Arcata has changed a lot in 50 years, he said, but he can still find his way to HSU and the Redwood Bowl, which is in the same place it always was, except then it was a grass field that turned to mud during the rainy season. Joy recalled a Humboldt County dominated by logging. Route 101 was a two-lane highway that regularly rumbled with trucks loaded with timber. He said Jacks football players got lumber industry jobs working four-hour shifts, so there would be

LOOKING BACK Former Humboldt State football player Bill Joy stands alongside HSU head coach Rob Smith at the Redwood Bowl during a recent visit to his alma mater. Photo by Mary Wells employment for everyone who wanted to work. The Jacks won a conference championship while he played. In 1965 he coached the freshman football team and apprenticed under HSC’s athletic trainer, Cedric Kinzer. After graduation in 1966, Joy became the head athletic trainer and a physical education instructor at Eastern New Mexico University until he retired in 1991 after 25 years. He’s enjoyed hunting, fishing and golfing after retirement. He said he had to give up hunting “because I’m too damn old.” He said a highlight of his visit was meeting coach Smith. They talked about a lot of different things besides football. He said coach Smith told him the 2017 Jacks looked to be one of the best teams he’s coached. And as he looks back on a long, accomplished life, Joy is living proof that Humboldt State was ahead of the times when it came to race relations. It’s a legacy worth embracing today as local citizens struggle with the unsolved killing of an HSU student that may be race related. Americans across the country continue to strive toward the ideal of the Declaration of Independence – that all men, that all people, are created equal. As Bill Joy would say, “Hell, we knew that 50 years ago.”

Segregation | ‘Changes that had to be made’ FROM A1

Flanagan, Dave Littleton, Earl Love and Ed White would not be housed with the rest of the team. What happened the next day, Harrison wrote, “awakened the conscience of a faculty, a community and a state.” Outraged at the segregation – and that there had been no advance discussion about it – 38 faculty members sent the following telegram to Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Roy Simpson: “The undersigned call your attention to the fact that Humboldt State College, in accepting a bid to appear in the NAIA Holiday Bowl football game in St. Petersburg, Florida on December 10, has accepted segregated housing facilities for the football team. “We wish to know if the State of California is aware of this fact, and whether there is any policy relating to state participation in segregated events.” “Copies of this telegram are being sent

to Governor (Edmund) Brown and to sports-writer Art Rosenbaum of the San Francisco Chronicle.” By Friday morning, the day before the game, the segregation controversy was national news. The Humboldt Times called the protesting faculty members “agitators.” “We kind of felt it was 33 guys from Northern California against the world,” said fullback Ed White, a 1989 Hall of Fame inductee. Former halfback Dave Littleton said, “We all decided we were going and that we had worked too hard for this not to go.” Pete Carpino, an offensive guard, said the players were focused on the opportunity to fly across the country and play in a televised championship at the Orange Bowl. “The coaches did try to impress on us what it would be like, and Ed White told us he’d seen some of it (segregation) when he was in the service, but I don’t think many of us took it seriously,” Carpino said. “It became an eye-opener when we got there.”

back in May, but then the committee got bogged down over a dispute over who controls the meeting agendas and whether racism falls under the advisory committee’s purview. That led to a meeting July 26, during which the committee debated whether to put the issue of racism on a future agenda. The committee ultimately voted unanimously to do so. And if last week’s meeting is any indication, there’s no longer any hesitation among committee members to discuss racism and play a part in the discussion. “I think this is the kind of problem where no one is going to solve this for us,” Tucker said. “We have to solve this for ourselves.” Committee Chair Shepherd, who in May kept the issue off the agenda because he said it was outside the committee’s purview, was fully in support of the discussion and also participated in the Aug. 18 meeting of the Working Group on Race. “It was an excellent meeting in that we made a lot of progress toward the goal of

of support, with 2,794 passengers during the time period. Crescent City, Redding and North Bend/ Coos Bay were the other flight origins. “PenAir certainly didn’t say, ‘We’re pulling out of Humboldt because we weren’t supported there,’” said Gregg Foster, the executive director of the Redwood Region Economic Development Commission, which partners with the county for Fly Humboldt. Last November, PenAir announced it would be adding a third daily Portland flight, which began in early January. But the extra flight was soon rescinded, which Foster attributed to a pilot shortage and maintenance-related issues. By early August, PenAir’s debts peaked and the company withdrew its non-essential (unsubsidized) airline service from Humboldt and all other areas except Boston and Alaska. “The company went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy to deal with its issues but we can say that the airline came here and in a short period of time, got a lot of support,” Foster said. “So we do have a strong market – there’s strong demand here.” In 2016, Humboldt’s passenger volume grew to about 70,000 passengers, an increase of almost 30 percent from the previous year. There was an eight percent increase in the first five months of 2017 compared to the same time period in 2016. The increased yearly volume is significantly less than the peaks of almost 120,000 passengers in 2007 and 2008. Those higher volumes reflect the presence of Horizon Airlines and its direct to Los Angeles flights, which ended in 2011. Passenger volumes slumped

“It was a tough situation to get into,” said Cecil Stephens. “I don’t think we thought too much about it back in 1960, then all of a sudden we got off the plane and went to different places. That really upset me. They were part of the team.” St. Petersburg’s black community embraced Humboldt’s segregated players. “The black guys had more fun than anyone,” Littleton recalled. “We had a movie theater down the street and a yellow cab at our disposal 24 hours a day. We were getting home-cooked food, breakfast with a choice of waffles, pancakes and ham …” Off the field, nearly all of their activities were on their own, including a post-game banquet of cold steaks. They skipped a pregame party, preferring to concentrate on preparing for the game. Some white players went on a deep sea fishing trip that none of the black players knew about. “That was the one thing I found most disgusting,” said the soft-spoken Flanagan, a 6-6, 240-pound lineman. “I came back from St. Petersburg and read about that fishing trip. I’m an avid fisherman and I

McKMAC | ‘We have to solve this for ourselves’ thing more than to just hold a meeting where people complain about racism. The group might hold a series of workshops or maybe distribute educational materials. “I think there are a lot of possibilities but I think what we really want to do is end up with something that would actually be meaningful and effective,” Tucker said. Racial tensions have heated up both locally and nationally since last year, when Donald Trump, during his successful campaign to become President of the United States, threatened to deport millions of undocumented people and called for a ban on Muslims entering the country. On April 15, 19-year-old Josiah Lawson, who was black, was stabbed to death at a house party in Arcata. Some at the party alleged that racism played a role in the killing. The case is still unsolved. Tucker asked that the committee discuss the issue of racism

a healthier McKinleyville,” Shepherd said. No KKK in town The committee also discussed the persistent rumors that the Ku Klux Klan operates in McKinleyville. Sheriff Honsal has said that there is no evidence that the KKK is operating in McKinleyville. The website of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, has no mention of an organized hate group operating in McKinleyville. Fifth District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg elaborated on the KKK rumor. “We actually did look into this with the Sheriff and he worked with the FBI recently, to really dig into it deep to see if there is anything there,” Sundberg said. There is an anonymous posting on an internet chat site from 2008 that claims there was a planned meeting of the KKK at Clam Beach, but it appears to be a hoax. “There is absolutely nothing to it. There is no KKK in McKinleyville,” Sundberg said. “So if you

through 2014 and have been on the upswing since. But that trend is expected to reverse with PenAir’s withdrawal of service. “We had a lot more air traffic before 2011 and if we add service, we’ll see that again,” Foster said. “But it’s still a hard sell because airlines are very constrained, both with equipment and pilots – it’s hard for a small airport like ours to get their attention.” But the airline recruitment effort includes regular communication with airline managers and Foster believes that Humboldt would have more service now if not for pilot shortages. “Recruitment never stops and that’s not just true for us, it’s true for the entire industry,” he said. One thing the county will still have in its favor is the ability to offer a minimum revenue guarantee or cash reserve that would fill any gap between an airline’s local costs and ticket income. PenAir did not request a revenue guarantee when it launched service here. United Airlines remains the county’s mainstay passenger service provider, with three flights per day on 50- and 70-seat jets. Foster said United will add a fourth daily flight this week. As airline recruitment continues, Fly Humboldt is developing what its newsletter describes as “a strategic plan to improve the aviation system and passenger service.” The plan is being developed in collaboration with the Indiana-based Volaire Aviation Consulting firm and public comment is being solicited through the Fly Humboldt website and the county website’s Open Humboldt forum. Foster said that anecdotal experience suggests that air service passengers are most concerned about reliability, improved connectivity and ticket pricing.

didn’t hear anything about it.” “The people where we lived did treat us well, but that should not be taken out of context,” Love said. “The black population brought us in like heroes. But in terms of being treated equitably, we were not treated equitably.” “To really see what true segregation was all about had a real impact on me,” Carpino said. Governor Brown’s response was that no California team “should consent to play where the team members can not stay together.” One month after the game, the California Board of Education unanimously adopted a policy prohibiting college participation in activities involving segregation. “As it turned out, going (to Florida) and the telegram were the best things possible,” Ed White said. “We had worked hard and earned a shot at the title … But the controversy initiated a lot of changes, changes that had to be made.” Editor’s note: Read the full-length original story and a report on the game in HSU’s 2017 football program.

can help us dispel that rumor that would be really great,” Sundberg said. However, as several speakers noted at the meeting during the time for public comment, the absence of the KKK in town does not mean there is not a problem with racism. David Couch, who is a member of the McKinleyville Community Services District Board of Directors, said that he was recently reminded by his 30-year-old daughter about an ugly incident that happened back when she was a student at McKinleyville High School. A teacher, who was white, moved to McKinleyville with his black wife and their children, Couch said. One day someone burned the image of a cross on their lawn, Couch said. Shortly after the couple moved away, he said. Others point to comments on the internet as evidence of Humboldt’s racist underbelly. “The comments on the internet are terrifying,” said Breanne Olmstead. “I feel personally unsafe putting myself up here on public record this month and last month.... People in our community have made

it clear that people of color and those who support them or speak out against racism will be targeted in our community. That is very clear on the internet.” Repeatedly during the discussion, those who spoke said they wanted to make McKinleyville a safe place for all people. But committee member John Corbett said the goal should be even greater. “Of course we have to have a safe community, and that’s the bottom line... there shouldn’t even be a discussion about that, but to me that’s too low of a goal. Our goal should be equal opportunity, period,” said Corbett, whose comment was met with applause.

The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2 at the Middle School Conference Center, 2275 Central Ave. in McKinleyville.

PUBLIC SAFETY Chew heist gone bad Humboldt County SHeriff’S offiCe

McKINLEYVILLE – On Sunday evening, Aug. 27 at about 9:30 p.m. the Shell gas station at 1606 Central Ave. in McKinleyville was robbed of approximately $200.00 in cash and five cans of chewing tobacco. The clerk on duty told deputies that he was vacuuming the store when a white male adult, later identified as 24-year-old Jonathan Anderson, entered the store wearing a gray hoody with a red bandana covering his face. Jonathan The suspect was carrying Anderson a kitchen knife and allegedly demanded the clerk go behind the counter and open the register. While the clerk was complying with this demand, the suspect went to a cabinet and took a package of chewing tobacco. After viewing the surveillance video, the suspect was identified as a former employee of the gas station who was fired a week ago for allegedly stealing lottery tickets. As a result of this information, the deputies went to Anderson’s residence to interview him. During the interview, Anderson allegedly confessed to the robbery. The stolen tobacco and cash were found in Anderson’s bedroom. Anderson told the deputies before arriving home after the robbery, he stashed the hooded sweatshirt, handkerchief, and the knife near a McKinleyville business. The deputies responded to the location described and found the items Anderson discarded. Anderson said he robbed the store to pay off a debt. He was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.

Deadly (for dogs) toxin reported at Big Lagoon department of HealtH & Human ServiCeS

BIG LAGOON – Environmental Health officials from the Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) reported that toxins associated with cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) have been confirmed at Big Lagoon. Health advisory signs are being posted. Warning signs are also being posted on other area rivers and lagoons, including the Eel and Van Duzen. Cyanobacteria can be present in any freshwater body. It looks like dark green, blue-green, black, orange or brown scum, foam or mats on the riverbed or floating on the water. Warm water and abundant nutrients can

cause cyanobacteria to grow more rapidly than usual causing “blooms.” These blooms are termed “harmful algal blooms.” “While not all cyanobacteria is harmful, a small number of cyanobacteria species are capable of producing natural toxins that can affect animals and humans,” said Melissa Martel, director of DHHS’s Division of Environmental Health. “Dogs and children are most susceptible because of their smaller body size and tendency to stay in the water for longer periods of time.” DHHS is aware of 11 dog deaths which may have been caused by cyanobacteria poisoning since 2001. The dogs died shortly after swimming in Big Lagoon, the South Fork Eel River and the

DRUNK DRIVING ARREST A Eureka man was arrested early Thursday morning, Aug. 31 in Arcata after he crashed his pickup truck through a fence and fled through a nearby field and was found to be in possession of a loaded rifle. Loren Patrick Wheeler, 36, was observed by an Arcata Police Department officer shortly before 1 a.m. driving at a high rate of speed in the opposite lane of traffic at the intersection of Alliance Road and Spear Avenue. The officer pursued the vehicle, which went into a field in the 2900 block of Janes Road. Wheeler fled the vehicle, and APD officers, with help from the California Highway Patrol and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department, were able to apprehend him and identify him as the owner of the vehicle. During a search of the truck, authorities found a loaded .223 caliber rifle in the passenger compartment. Wheeler was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Jail on suspicion of driving under

Van Duzen River. Potential symptoms in dogs following exposure to cyanobacteria can include lethargy, difficulty breathing, salivation, vomiting, urination, diarrhea, or convulsions. People can experience eye irritation, skin rash, mouth ulcers, vomiting, diarrhea and cold or flu-like symptoms. While there is no antidote for exposure, persons should see their physician and those with pets which may have been exposed should go to their veterinarian for supportive care. To report a bloom, email CyanoHAB.Reports@waterboards.ca.gov or call (844) 729-6466 (toll free). Blooms can also be reported via the “bloomWatch” app which is available for free download on iTunes or Google play.

the influence, vehicular hit and run and possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle. MARIJUANA ROBBERY On Sunday, Aug. 27 at about 9:30 p.m. Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to an apartment complex in McKinleyville regarding the report of a robbery. When the deputies arrived at the incident location, the victim told the deputies he had been robbed at gunpoint of 10 pounds of processed marijuana. The victim identified the suspects as two black male adults. After the robbery, the suspects left the area, on foot, in an unknown direction of travel. The victim met the suspects at a bar in Arcata and arranged to sell them the 10 pounds of marijuana. Fortunately, the victim was not injured during the robbery. A be on the lookout bulletin was sent to all neighboring law enforcement agencies.

Loudmouthian lull relieved by Gob Gnarly and some failers • Thursday, August 17 3:23 p.m. After flailing at passing cars and acting erratically at the Bayside Cutoff, a man in a blue windbreaker disappeared into a nearby horse barn, his purpose there unknown but likely unwholesome and/or pointless. 7:27 p.m. Why, an Irene Street resident asked himself, would his neighbor enter his yard when he wasn’t home, and take pictures of his house? • Friday, August 18 2:06, 2:12, 2:13 a.m. Arcata Police removed drunks posing various levels of danger to themselves and others from the streets and steering wheels of our land, at Ninth and H streets, 16th and G streets and Eighth and H streets. 6:08 a.m. A barefoot woman roamed G Street, knocking on doors and jiggling doorhandles. 11:14 a.m. Setting up an orange tent on the gravel bar in the Mad River is a fool’s errand – a major fail in modern parlance – now that it’s part of Carlson Park, and the city is out there doing enforcement every day. 1:04 p.m. Someone went to an L.K. Wood Boulevard address advertised as a rental on Craigslist, but the people there said their address is sometimes used by rent-scammers. 3:37 p.m. A dog was reported poisoned in Patrick Court. 5:40 p.m. After shoplifting at a

Uniontown variety store, a man in greenish-blue pants strolled away on H Street scarfing an ice cream sandwich. He was cited for petty theft. • Saturday, August 19 8:28 a.m. The residential vehicle campers – this one by the marsh – aren’t necessarily the most cheerful sorts of folks. 5:59 p.m. There were only six dogs on the No Dogs Allowed Plaza at this moment. 7:46 p.m. A Stromberg Avenue home was entered through a back garage door that may or may not have been locked and burglarized away the jewelry, camping gear, power tools and electronics. • Sunday, August 20 1:04 a.m. A man stole a green baseball cap on H Street, and ran away. 2:12 a.m. A loud street musician’s busking kept someone near 10th and H streets awake. • Monday, August 21 11:15 a.m. A man and woman bought cigarettes with a stolen credit card at a J Street gas station. 4:37 p.m. A 12th Street apartment dweller reported her neighbor leaving his door cracked open and then when people walk into the hallway talking, he slams it shut. The caller was concerned that the neighbor was waiting at the door and listening, poised to

pounce with the slammage. • Tuesday, August 22 11:35 a.m. A shirtless drunk raged and railed at passersby and a bus on Valley West Boulevard. 12:56 p.m. A Janes Creek Drive resident left his garage door open overnight, and come morning there were three fewer bicycles and one less power washer left within. 2:09 pm. Slouchabouts on the Plaza swelled to 50 in number, smoking, dogging, exchanging minor infections and otherwise carpe-ing their diems. Someone was cited for something, so that should take care of it. 3:29 p.m. HSU Police asked APD to look in on a student who had been emailing in complaints about his neighbors. He thinks they’re monitoring his conversations, and it’s upsetting him so much that he might have to drop out of school. 7:59 p.m. A man unloading his car at a low-budget Valley West motel noticed a guy in a white T-shirt taking pictures of the vehicle. • Wednesday, August 23 7:26 a.m. There having been a slump in reported incidents of wildmen in jungle garb bellowing obscenities, a camouflaged-panted man on J Street undertook regression to the mean.

Fifth District | Likes to integrate projects FROM A1

Madrone said he wants to bring his problem solving skills and expertise in land use planning and grant writing to the Board of Supervisors. Madrone retired as the Director of Natural Resources Services for the Redwood Community Action Agency in 2006 after 23 years of service. Among his accomplishments was helping to build the Hammond Trail in McKinleyville. A lot of the work involved working with land owners to obtain easements for the trail and working to obtain grant funding to pay for trail construction. That involved convincing reluctant property owners to participate. “One of the hallmarks of the way I operate is to identify the landowners concerns that may impact them and figure out ways to mitigate those impacts,” Madrone said, adding that he would offer property owners along the future trail fences, access gates

and vegetation to give them privacy. Madrone said he also likes to integrate projects, solving multiple problems at one time. For example, when Madrone was working on the Hammond Trail, he needed to fill in a gully before construction could begin. At the same time, Madrone said, he was working on a project to remove Scotch broom and pampas grass along U.S. Highway 101. The Scotch broom, Madrone said, was shipped to the power plant in Blue Lake, where it was burned, thereby solving a disposal problem and creating energy. The non-burnable pampas grass, he said, was hauled to McKinleyville and dumped in the gully. Meanwhile, just north of Hiller Park, Humboldt County Public Works was digging out a giant drainage ditch and needed a place to dispose of the soil. Madrone said he had the soil hauled to the gully, which solved Public Works’ disposal problem and paved the way for completion of the trail.

7:25 p.m. Apparently the roundabout at Samoa Boulevard and Union Street doesn’t function as a peace mandala radiating spiritual calm to all who traverse its infinite circle. Or at least it doesn’t do that very well, since a road-rage kerfuffle there resulted in someone getting their hand broke. 9:14 p.m. Another profane yellingman threw rocks at people on Boyd Road, his errant missiles striking various poles in the area. 10:02 p.m. Two cans of beer were the thirst-slaking fruits of a shoplifting session that led a man in a red sweatshirt to be arrested at Uniontown. 10:08 p.m. Downtown’s own volunteer screecher used the Intermodal Transit Facility as a yelly pulpit. 11:07 p.m. Perhaps lacking the lungpower to yellingly annoy Mack Road residents, a man revved the engine of his white pickup truck for an hour or so. • Thursday, August 24 7:25 a.m. A woman at a Union Street apartment building started yelling at her neighbors at 4 a.m., and hadn’t stopped since. 9:18 a.m. Another Master of the Goofballian Arts in all black clothing waved a stick around at passersby near the Plaza flagpole. 12:45 p.m. The normally peaceable water bill-paying window at City Hall was lashed with desultory howls and baying by an errat-

Madrone said he would like to bring that kind of problem solving to the Board of Supervisors. When it comes to all of the homeless people and petty crime in Humboldt County, Madrone said he would like to tackle the problem head on rather than just locking people up – a strategy that he said is expensive and doesn’t work. “What I would do is turn that on its head,” he said. The county, according to Madrone, needs to do “preventative work.” That includes drug and alcohol rehab, job training and housing assistance. Doing so would cost less money and help more people than incarceration, he said. The Fifth District’s political power center is McKinleyville, which is the largest community in the district, and the largest unincorporated town in Humboldt County. Madrone said that he would like to explore incorporating McKinleyville and turning it into an actual city. If elected, Madrone said he would push for a detailed fiscal analysis to determine

ic-acting man, who accomplished nowt but exercising his gnarly gob at inappropriate volume. 1:52 p.m. A red-haired man with a green hat and the mandatory camouflage pants sold cannabis out of “dog bags” at Ninth and H streets. He was arrested. 8:43 p.m. A man and woman drove slowly through the Bloomfield neighborhood for a couple of hours until finally confronted on Zehndner Avenue. They explained that they were “selling carpets.” At this time of night. Selling carpets ... yeah, that’s the ticket. 10:06 p.m. “Get away from me!” was the not-unreasonable demaind of a woman being chased by some guy on I Street. 11:43 p.m. What a bearded man in the alley next to the downtown fire station lacked in imagination, he made up for in upholding tradition with a fusspottian failstorm of time-honored obscenities. He was moved along. • Friday, August 25 8:13 a.m. To get himself revved up for a hearty bout of yelling at the Intermodal Transit Whatever-it-isamacallit, a man in a gray hoodie threw a watermelon at a passing bus, as one does in these circumstances. 9:03 a.m. A Wyatt Lane resident made a heavy metal donation to the roving opportunivores of our land by leaving two buckets of coins in an unlocked car. Gone by morn.

how much revenue McKinleyville generates and how much the county spends providing services to the town. With that information, residents could then determine whether incorporation would be beneficial, or not. Ultimately, Madrone said, the voters would have to determine the issues. Another idea that Madrone would like to pursue is the creation of stewardship overlay zones. Property owners who have made environmental improvements to their properties, or made their homes eco-friendly with solar panels and outdoor drainage swales that absorb rainwater and prevent runoff, could apply for a stewardship overlay zone. That zone would give the property owner a tax credit based on how much money was spent on the environmental improvements, Madrone said. This would incentivize good land stewardship, solve environmental problems, create jobs and spur economic activity, he said. Madrone describes himself as a fiscally conservative progressive.

The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. – Carl Sandburg

eading it on a page, you may not hear the rhythm in the words, but if you hear a recording of Sandburg reading it, it’s there. The jazz drummer Matt Wilson found a loop of Carl reading the poem while driving somewhere, listening, finding the beat in words that formed a haiku, perhaps beating out that haiku rhythm on his steering wheel. Somewhere, he found the rhythm. “Fog” is one of 18 tracks on a project/album Wilson calls “Honey and Salt,” borrowing the name from a poem by Sandburg and the title of one of the poet’s many books. It’s also the name of a jazz combo Wilson is taking on

a short California tour that includes a slot on the prestigious Monterey Jazz Festival. The tour begins here, kicking off the 12th season of the Redwood Jazz Alliance with a jazz-meets-spoken-word concert in HSU’s Kate Buchanan Room. Sandburg was an American poet laureate and much more. He was a newspaper writer and editor, sang and wrote folk songs, wrote an acclaimed biography of Lincoln and books for kids. They called him the “Poet of the People” because he spoke for those “who did not have words or the power to speak for themselves.” He was the epitome of word to power. Wilson can point out mile markers that led him to Honey and Salt: Matt grew up in Knoxville, Ill., not far from Carl’s hometown, Galesburg. There THE HUM

EUREKA – Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs ’em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical Disenchanted! Forget the Disney-like princesses you think you know – these ladies have come back to life to set the record straight, with a whole lotta attitude. Dennis Giacino’s hilariously subversive and outrageous musical plays at Redwood Curtain Sept. 7 through 30. Artistic Director Clint Rebik notes, “it’s very much in the style of a cabaret, with moments for each of the ladies to shine. The lyrics are fun and risqué, and move quickly in this rollicking 90-minute show.” Local theatregoers will recognize a bevy of beauties taking on the roles of these “non-Disney” divas. Molly Severdia plays Snow White, whose snow may have drifted.

The Hum | From poetry to poker FROM B1

was that term paper on Sandburg that Matt wrote in junior high, and a book of his poems he picked up in New York City when he moved there in ’92, pursuing a music career in the jazz mecca. In 2002, Wilson got a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works grant to put music behind Sandburg’s poetry. He put on a few concerts, then filed the work away, one of many projects he wasn’t quite finished with. (I can relate.) A couple of years ago, he pulled out the file and set himself a deadline. Sandburg died 50 years ago in 1967 (what’s now known as the Summer of Love). That seemed like a good time to mark that anniversary. This summer, Wilson released Honey and Salt: Music Inspired by the Poetry of Carl Sandburg. It’s an album as eclectic as Sandburg’s work, mixing spoken word with jazz inspired by blues, gospel, country, New Orleans marching bands and funk. He enlisted Ron Miles on cornet, Jeff Lederer on woodwinds and Martin Wind on bass. On the record, Wilson has guitarist/ vocalist Dawn Thomson who has set Sandburg’s work to music on her own. For the related tour, another Dawn, pianist/vocalist Dawn Clement, takes her place. On the record, Wilson enlists jazzy folks to read Sandburg including jazzmen Bill Frisell and Christian McBride and the actor Jack Black. At the KBR, RJA promises (unnamed) “local luminaries to do the honors.” Following RJA tradition, Wilson and his Honey and Salt compatriots offer a free workshop Wednesday Sept. 13 at 11 a.m. in Music 131 at HSU. Be there. You won’t regret it. Let’s leave off with a line from Carl’s “Honey and Salt” offering some poetic advice: “Laugh as

peaches in the summer wind / Let rain on a house roof be a song.” I have plans for those summer peaches and we could use a rain song to quench those fires turning our sunrises and sundowns red. Sing. Laugh. Another poet & Arts! Arcata affairs I used to joke that Jerry Martien was the poet laureate of Manila – until he moved to Elk River. Friday, Northtown Books hosts a reading and book signing of Jerry Martien’s latest collection of poems, Earth Tickets, drawing on work he wrote when he lived in Manila, taking care of his dear old mother and a dear old old house, walking among dunes, living, loving, laughing, etc. Northtown tells us the book also includes “wellknown work, poems of protest and mourning and celebration, now in a limited edition produced by Bug Press and with a cover landscape by Joy Dellas,” one of his old friends from Manila (and one of my favorite painters). Since this is the second Friday in the month, it’s an Arts Arcata! night. You know the routine: Art and music all over town. I got an email from my friend Colin Trujillo, bassist of No Good Redwood Ramblers, noting, “We are playing HumBrews after Arts Arcata!

Colin continues, “This is our first show in a while and we are super excited about it. We will be doing some new material as well as plenty of ‘bluegrass’ favorites [inside joke] and original songs

I’ve never talked about the oft-fatal flaws in our healthcare with the local lawyer Zach Zwerdling; I can only guess where he stands on the subject. We’re usually talking music, since he plays guitar on the side and his son Nate plays music too. For the last few years, Zach and co. have been throwing a small private benefit affair they called Lawnstock on his front lawn at his place above Arcata. He’d get his friends’ bands together and typically ask those who attended to make a contribution to help out some family in need. It was big fun. There was always a limit on how many could come, since there was scant room to park by his place, so he’d shuttle folks to and fro. But for Lawnstock 2017, this Saturday (Sept. 9, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.), Zach and company took the benefest to the next level, moving the show to a much bigger lawn, the one in Perigot Park in Blue Lake.

After football fiesta, HSU faces league champion in big test Rick Macey Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – Forget the 83-14 final score. Saturday’s football fiesta at Humboldt State University was about making new friends across the southern border. It was about what head coach Rob Smith called “sportsmanship at the highest level, and mutual appreciation and admiration and respect.” It was also an opportunity for first-year HSU defensive coordinator Barry Sacks to see every player in action before coach Smith trims the roster to 54 players with a last round of cuts. Most of all, it was preparation for Saturday’s matchup at Azusa Pacific, the defending Great Northwest Athletic Conference champion. “It was a great night in the sense that we got a chance to play every possible player we could and really from the mid-second quarter on that was the case,” said HSU Head Coach Rob Smith. A crowd of 3,622 at Redwood Bowl was treated to a unique international exhibition as the CETYS University Zorros of Tijuana and Mexicali in Mexico came to Arcata. Humboldt State running back Ja’Quan Gardner’s 94-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff set the tone for an avalanche of

scoring by the Jacks. “CETYS kept battling,” coach Smith said, “and what a show after the game where you have both teams congratulating each other and taking a group picture, with a lot of smiles. It was great to see.” Gardner scored twice more in the first quarter, on a 58-yard run and goal-line plunge from the 1-yard line. Wide receiver Malcolm Hale caught two TD passes – 65 yards from quarterback Robert Webber to close the first quarter, and a 92-yard catch and run from Adam Wood with 11:34 left in the second. Up 28-0 after the first quarter, the Jacks opened up the playbook and liberally substituted players. Sophomore running back Jabar Byrd replaced Gardner early on but the Jacks didn’t lose a step as Byrd burst into the open field on an 88-yard scoring run late in the second. CETYS ran a successful two-minute drill to get into the end zone before halftime as receiver Ruben Mora Armenta caught a two-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Montano Espino. The Zorros finished with 206 yards of total offense, which paled in comparison to HSU’s 637 yards. The Jacks averaged a stellar 12.7 yards per play. HSU’s third-string QB Joey

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION HSU and CETYS pose together after the game. Sweeney connected with Deshaun Patacsil for a 56-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Coach Smith’s play calling kept the Zorros off balance throughout the game. Cornerback Ryan McKenzie got into the scoring act on defense, returning an interception 48 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown. Along with linebacker Edwin Campbell’s 35-yard interception return for a TD earlier in the game, the Jacks had two defensive scores. They went last season without one. Defensive end Curtis Williams

had two sacks against the Zorros while the his teammates in the secondary picked off five passes. Azusa Pacific also displayed devastating defense on Saturday. The Cougars sealed a 24-13 victory over host West Texas A&M when defensive back Adrian Shocks returned a fourth-quarter fumble for a touchdown. Asked if he was satisfied with HSU’s defense against CETYS, coach Sacks paused for a moment and replied thoughtfully, “I’m happy with the effort. Satisfied may not be the right word.”

Rick Macey | Union

He explained that the Jacks did a fine job reacting and running to the football. “Our tackling was good at times and at other times spotty.” Azusa Pacific is ranked No. 13 nationally in Division II. Coach Sacks said he doesn’t believe HSU’s defenders will be overconfident going into Citrus Stadium. “They understand the magnitude of the game,” he said. “Our starters were on the sideline in the fourth quarter talking about the level where they need to be, and what they need to do.”

Tigers, Panthers clash in McKinleyville Invitational Tournament Rick Macey Mad RiveR Union

McKINLEYVILLE – Any doubts whether the boys from Arcata and McKinleyville are in shape for this soccer season were put to rest at the McKinleyville Invitational Tournament over the weekend. The Panthers (1-2) played three games Friday and Saturday while the Tigers (3-1) competed in three games on Saturday. “I think we were a bit fatigued at the end of this game,” understated Arcata senior Andrew Cavinta, who scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win in the consolation final against the Panthers on a smoky late afternoon. Let’s look at how both squads are shaping up for the 2017 campaign. Panthers rebuild for playoff run In his second year as head coach, McKinleyville’s Ryne Deppe can point to several players as team leaders. A former Tigers standout and Colorado State defensive back, Deppe knows a thing or two about the sport and what it takes to build a successful program. The Panthers qualified

elcome

SCORE! Arcata’s Andrew Cavinta (4) scored the lone goal against McKinleyville in the ball during MIT. Rick Macey | Union

for the playoffs last year. They expect more of the same in 2017 despite graduating key players. “About half the players on our team are underclassmen,” coach Deppe said.

“We have all these leaders who are coaches on the field, and that has helped our team blossom, to get a whole lot better a lot quicker. When you teach a skill, you actually end up know-

ing it better yourself.” Logan Hansen is a senior team captain and a steady force on defense at center back. “There is always room to improve. I could do better on my touches, and some other stuff.” Behind Hansen is Mack’s last line of defense, goalkeeper Jacob Smith. “You know, losing to Arcata is never fun, but I’m actually really pleased with the way we came out and played today. They only had a couple shots on frame, and the one goal Arcata scored – Andrew (Cavinta) is a monster. He’s burned us before on corners and crosses like that. We’ve got to mark up better.” “The only thing we need to work on in my opinion is just putting the ball in the goal. We’re getting opportunities that we’re not finishing. Once we figure that out, we are going to be tough to beat,” Smith said. And finishing is precisely what’s on the mind of Chris Friedley, last year’s backup goalie who is adjusting to the front line. “We have to maintain control of the ball and take shots at the goal. Don’t just pass it around,

take shots on frame. Be efficient.” Perhaps Mack’s best opportunity to score was narrowly missed when Brian Gomez, a senior center midfielder who also plays left wing, cut inside the 6-yard line but took an extra step. “I could’ve had a shot but I took one more touch because I thought I nhad a little bit more time,” he said. Jair Gonzalez, a junior center back, covered a lot of space on the field. He credits coach Deppe with making sure the Panthers are fit. What he’d like to see is better communication and more directed passes. “Especially on defense when we have time, we just kick the ball up the field,” he said, predicting that his teammates will solve that shortcoming on their return trip to the playoffs. Luis Melecio-Gonzalez, a junior, plays center back. He missed most of the 2016 season with a fractured ankle. “Everybody is improving, especially since the first day of practice two weeks ago. The freshmen are stepping up their game.” Caleb Coke, a sophomore

who moved from attacking midfielder to striker for the Arcata game, brings a cool head and the ability to put the ball in the back of the net. He was satisfied that the Panthers played the Tigers so evenly. So was his coach. “This was a great game,” Deppe said. Tired Tigers show toughness Arcata center defensive back Zack Oakland wasn’t that impressed with the winning effort against the Panthers. “I know we can play a lot better,” the junior said, “although there were some good moments.” In their third game of the day, the Tigers started each half with intensity but gradually lost a step. “A win is a win,” said Andy Miranda, junior who plays attacking midfield and front line, “but we know our potential.” He frowned at “simple mistakes that shouldn’t be made,” and he wasn’t easy on himself. “I need to stay calm when I’m attacking the goal. I need to picture myself where I’m going to send the ball and know SOCCER

McKinleyville makes smashing season debut against Arcata Rick Macey Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – There’s a phrase in tennis that smart players take to heart: Hustle, hit, and never quit. Meet McKinleyville’s Jennifer Jolin and Arcata’s Haley Hill. As the No. 1 singles players, both girls got off to a great start in the sort of matchup that nobody should have to lose. Jolin rallied after dropping the first set to Hill for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory that sparked the Lady Panthers to a 6-3 win in Saturday’s season opener for both teams. “I won my match so I like how I played,” Jolin said with a smile. “I came up to the net and I felt more powerful there.

team victory was the strength of its singles ladder as the Lady Panthers swept the top four matches. No. 2 Meigan Butler topped Marlie Thornburgh in straight sets, 6-3 and 6-0. She was a bit ambivalent about her performance. “I can do better,” Butler said. “I have time to practice and improve. I was happy with the result and my groundstrokes.” “I think I had really good forehands. I’ve been working on that,” added Butler. “I also had powerful backhands.” “I think I did OK,” Thornburgh said, who was disappointed to be on the losing side in singles and doubles. “I tried my hardest. My serves were OK today. I played

pretty good in my doubles match, so I’m happy with that performance.” Arcata’s Kendra Flint lost to Laura Costa (6-2, 6-2) in the No. 3 singles matchup. “I didn’t win but I played my hardest,” Flint said. “That’s good. I think I improved throughout the day, and that’s what counts.” Coach Heath said his expectations were exceeded by Flint. “She is playing at the top of the ladder as a freshman. She played two great matches, even though she lost both.” At No. 4 singles, Hailey Boyum refused to lose to Casey McAtasney in the only other matchup that went the distance. She won 6-4, 3-6, and 6-3.

Arcata’s Emerald VanBebber-Wiest snapped the losing streak, 6-3, 6-2, against Melissa Kingham. Simone Haggerty added a second singles win for the homestanding Lady Tigers by shutting out Lilion Felt in straight sets. “Simone had a very impressive outing today,” coach Heath said. He pointed out that Haggerty and VanBebber-Wiest dominated the No. 3 doubles match, topping Mack’s Lauren House and teammate Felt 8-0. The Lady Panthers had the last laugh. Jolin and Butler vanquished Hill and Thornburgh in No. 1 doubles 8-4 while No. 2 doubles duo Costa and Boyum beat Flint and McAtasney 8-4.

Blame (or credit) coach’s cousin for McKinleyville’s second loss Rick Macey Mad RiveR Union

McKINLEYVILLE – McKinleyville head coach Keoki Burbank is proud of his cousin. At the same time, he blames him for the Panthers’ 40-28 defeat on Friday night. His cousin? Hoopa Valley quarterback Ryan Reed, who connected on 23 of 32 passes for 409 yards and five touchdowns. “My cousin played a hell of a game,” coach Burbank said. “We were playing a fantasy football league together, and I was like, ’Shoot, I’ll pick you I guess.’ He’s got big things ahead of him.” Warriors coach Rico Tello and coach Burbank are friends and recreational league basketball teammates. They coached together for two years. Naturally, Tello praised his team’s senior leader. “One of the great things about Ryan is he coaches on the field,” Tello said. “It feels really good to get this win after that (60-6) loss to Arcata,” Reed said. “We had to overcome a lot of adversity. The smoke from the fires put a damper on our practices, but our coaches did the best they could, and we did the best we could do. We watched a lot of film, but it’s all productive.” For the second week in a row, forest fires made practice nearly impossible for the Warriors. “It’s been bad, the worst I’ve seen,” coach Tello said. “When I woke up this morning there was ash all over everything outside.” As bad as the forest fires are, there’s another more tragic note to this football season. The Panthers wore blue in support of Fortuna player Bailey Foley, who has been in a medically induced coma

He hauled in the kickoff at the 12-yard line, sprinted right until his running lane was blocked, cut to center behind a small group of blockers, zig-zagged left, made two defenders miss, and was suddenly all alone to finish a stellar 88-yard TD return. “I was just hoping not to get hit,” Chance said. “I tried to cut on the right side, but one their guys was in front of me.

Good dogs, all makes & models

Meet Link, a mighty 4-lb. warrior

eet Link, a mighty 4-lb. warrior with an adventurous spirit and a heart of gold. His foster mom named Link and his siblings Zelda, Sheik and Kirby after heroic video game characters, and they have proved true to the courageous, problem-solving nature of their namesakes. Link is the only kitten left of his siblings available for adoption, and he has been waiting ever-so-patiently for his forever family to walk through the door. We pride ourselves on pairing our animals with purrr-fect new companions, so we encourage anyone interested in Link to come in and visit our kitten room Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 88 Sunny Brae Center. We occasionally close the kitten room to administer medical treatments, so we recommend calling us at (707) 826-7387 before heading over. Pictures of the rest of our adoptable animals can be found at cafanimals.org. All of the animals at Companion Animal Foundation have been spayed/neutered, treated for parasites, and are up-to-date on their vaccines. If you have any questions about a particular animal or would like to know more about the adoption process, call us at (707) 8267387 or email cafadoptions@gmail.com. Don't forget to follow Companion Animal Foundation on Facebook and Instagram! Have you adopted an animal through Companion Animal Foundation over the last 15 years? We'd love to hear from you! Send your pictures and stories to cafadoptions@gmail.com.

here are lots of new canine faces at the shelter this week! At this writing there are 23 adoptable dogs, and more than half of them just arrived in August. Among the new dogs are two very large dogs, Dizzy (female) and Oso (male). They are listed as Great Pyrenees mixes, but may have Mastiff or Anatolian in there also. Oso stands tall enough to look down the row over the kennel dividers! At the other end of the size range, we have little Yoda, a male pug/Chihuahua mix, and Sonya, a female Shih Tzu. There are also four of Winnie’s puppies (all male) available. They weigh about 20 lbs. now and are expected to be full size at around 50 lbs. These cuties were fostered with other dogs, chickens and young children and are very well socialized. I was happy to get see one of the siblings go home with a friend of our family; now I get to hear frequent updates about the little guy! My friends can’t say enough good things about this smart and easygoing puppy. Redwood Pals Rescue also has one of the sisters to these pups available through them. Rescue work has kept me so busy the last week that I have not had the chance to meet all the new dogs yet. Fortunately, we have some wonderful volunteers at the shelter who have kept the dogs walked and posted updates to our little volunteer group. One new dog has clearly made an impression on the volunteers. His name is Dakar and he is an interesting mix of Border collie and German

shepherd. His look is quite unusual. One volunteer described him as an unblended mix of dogs. He walks very nicely on the leash, knows “sit” and seems to be quite attentive to his handlers. Dakar is guesstimated to be 2 years old and weighs about 60 lbs. He is microchipped, vaccinated and is scheduled to be neutered this week. Check him out at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter, 980 Lycoming Ave. in McKinleyville. The shelter is open Monday through Friday; more information is available at (707) 840-9132. Redwood Pals Rescue has had a busy week! (Do I say that every week?) Among our activities were arranging for a dog to fly back to Chicago to rejoin her owner, vaccinating puppies, celebrating the adoption of recently featured Jax, contacting specialty rescue for a cute little deaf dog

Bailey

fosters for the dogs in our care. One of the dogs we would really like to find a home for is our sweet older girl Bailey. Bailey has been fostered by a variety of people, all of whom have found her to be a great housemate. Bailey is very nicely behaved in the house and loves it when her people are around for a movie or quiet evening in. She has come on many of our pack walks. She can be initially excited by the activity, but settles right in once the group gets moving. Bailey likes to ride in the car, especially if she can have a window open. She waits patiently during errands. Bailey has gone to boarding between available fosters and the boarding staff have given her high marks for behavior. They actually send a report card home and Bailey has always received straight A’s! She is an older dog, about 10 we think, and it sure would be nice for her to have a home to call her own. She is not a good fit with cats or birds, but has been very gentle with children. Please contact us for more information at redwoodpalsrescue@gmail.com or (707) 8399692. You can see more photos of Bailey and also learn about our other dogs on our Redwood Pals Rescue Face-

Lady Tigers tie Eureka to (barely) win own soccer tournament Rick Macey Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – As Arcata and Eureka battled to a 1-1 tie in the championship game of the Arcata Eye of the Tiger Invitational girls soccer tournament Saturday, it was a contest between friends at the Arcata Sports Complex. “A bunch of our teammates have played with each other, and I personally have

played with a lot of Eureka’s players,” said Arcata left forward Bailey Cherms. “So I’m proud of both teams.” Arcata technically won the tourney based on a one-goal differential against St. Bernard’s – a late-game penalty kick surrendered by the Lady Loggers. “We combined passes. I think we could’ve won … maybe,” said Sarah Lester, a senior who plays right wing for the Lady Loggers. “It was really hot. We’re not used to the heat.” “Honestly, we played above expectation,” Cherms said. “We were hyped. Warmups, we stayed focused. No extra talking, just about the game. We made sure our

heads were where they needed to be.” Arcata senior forward Faith Schneider-Reuter gathered a pass and eluded defenders long enough to give the Lady Panthers a 1-0 edge less than four minutes into the game. Eureka countered when junior forward Olivia Stone converted a direct kick on the outside right edge of the goalie’s box – a booming 35-yard shot that landed in the far corner of the net. In the first minute, Arcata’s Hailey Dawson bounced a shot off the goal post. Both sides could not convert on several goal mouth scrambles. In the first round, Cherms scored two

goals to lead Arcata over St. Bernard’s 5-0. Schneider-Reuter and Dawson each chipped in a goal and assist. Nina Crossen assisted Karina Zumbrum. Eureka opened up with a 6-0 victory over McKinleyville as junior forward Athena Miller scored five goals. Lester had two assists. With another strong effort from Jaycee Morais, the Lady Panthers beat St. Bernard’s to place third. A junior, she connected on an 18-yard direct kick in the 3-2 win against the Lady Crusaders. She had a breakout game earlier in the week, scoring four goals and assisting on another in a 9-0 win over Clear Lake.
