PUBLIC SAFETY

Arcata, McK get help from Measure Z Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – The Arcata, McKinleyville and Trinidad areas are benefitting from Measure Z public safety revenue, which is paying for school resource officers, sheriff’s deputy coverage and a walkway improvement. The board made decisions on funding recommendations from the Measure Z Citizens Advisory Committee at the April 24 supervisors meeting. The advisory committee reviewed $13 million worth of funding requests vying for the $4.3 million of available Measure Z funding for the upcoming fiscal year. Among the advisory committee’s primary funding recommendations is $353,367 for continued funding of an Arcata Police Department (APD) school resource officer and two “juvenile diversion counselors” for K-12 students. Supervisors approved the APD’s funding request along with other primary items recommended by the committee. Other requests were taken up as supervisors approved forwarding $105,000 of unspent Measure Z funding, reduced county Fire Chiefs Association funding and deferred a $100,000 audit of Measure Z spending. During a public comment period, Trinidad City Manager Daniel Berman asked supervisors to fund a sheriff’s deputy position for split coverage of Trinidad and Blue Lake. The advisory committee didn’t recomMEASURE Z

Arcata braces for rising seas Planning strains projections, resources Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – With the Humboldt Bay and the Pacific Ocean lapping thirstily at its southern edges, Arcata’s low-lying lands are facing eventual inundation. It likely won’t happen overnight, and property in the area may still see use, and even fresh

construction, for decades to come. But preparing for the inevitable, with all its uncertainties, is a mission Arcata can’t avoid, and it’s using projections and planning horizons that stretch far into the future – even to the year 2100. The Arcata City Council and Planning Commission met April 30 to confer and

Arcata Community Development Director David Loya projected an aerial photo of a 1960s-era flood along the bay which showed submerged roads and buildings, noting that someday, when the sea has risen as it is projected to do, such views will reflect daily tidal activity.

HUMBOLDT – A majority of Humboldt County’s Board of Supervisors supports a ballot initiative to limit early prison releases but capacity issues could interfere with the initiative’s goals. The backlash against propositions 47 and 57 and AB 109, which reclassify some non-violent felonies as misdemeanors, runs strong in the county. Responding to it, most supervisors voted last month to support the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018 ballot measure. Now in a signature-gathering phase, the initiative has been described as a means of amending the unpopular crime re-classifications and theft value thresholds that now distinguish misdemeanors from felonies. Following up on those issues at their May 1 meeting, supervisors heard a presentation on bills in the state legislature

CLEANING UP THIS TOWN Humboldt’s open spaces and natural beauty is under constant assault from litter bugs, slobs and dumpers, but thankfully something is being done to fight back. On Earth Day, Rotary Club of Arcata Noon, above, picked up trash and recyclables on the north side of Samoa Boulevard between the railroad tracks and V Street. This Saturday, May 12 the City of Arcata Environmental Services Department is seeking volunteers to help remove litter and invasive plants from Shay Park and Jolly Giant Creek. This Volunteer Work Day will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Volunteers are asked to meet at 9 a.m. at 1385 Foster Ave., located near the north end of Shay Park, and are advised to wear a long sleeve shirt, work pants and boots, and to bring water. Gloves, tools, beverages and lunch will be provided. For more information, call (707) 822-8184 or email eservices@cityofarcata.org. Matt Filar | Union

that also seek to amend the ways that existing laws deal with repeat offenders and the scale of thefts. But Interim Chief Probation Officer Shaun Brenneman suggested that it’s impractical to make changes that trigger longer jail and prison stays because of capacity issues. “Today, the Humboldt County jail is over-capacity – today – and prison is still at 131 percent capacity,” he said. “So regardless of how we re-classify offenses, we’re still going to have to do this triage about who do we want to keep in our facilities and what kinds of offenses make the most sense.” Most county jail inmates are awaiting trial, Brenneman continued, and the minority of inmates who have been sentenced will be the ones who get “early kicks” if new felony offenders are booked. “There’s not a really great solution for

City of ArCAtA

ARCATA – A public scoping meeting regarding the removal of the McKinley statue will take place on Thursday, May 17 at 6 p.m. The current scope of the removal project determined by the Arcata City Council vote on Feb. 21, is to remove and store the statue and amend the City’s General Plan, which identifies the McKinley statue as a part of the Plaza Historic District. The McKinley statue is identified as a historic feature of the Plaza in the city’s guiding document called the General Plan, and this designation requires the city to complete an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prior to taking further action. The intent of environmental review under CEQA is to describe the potential impacts of removing McKinley to city officials and the public prior to removing the statue. The primary purpose of this scoping meeting is to initiate the EIR process and allow for community input. At this meeting, the City of Arcata Community Development Department will present a project summary, discuss project alternatives and consider recommendations made by community members. Following this meeting, the Community Development Department will complete a Draft EIR and circulate it for 30 days, which is currently estimated to take place in June or July. The public and other agencies will also have the opportunity to comment during this period. Next, the Community Development Department will respond to input on the Draft EIR and prepare its findings. The findings will then be brought to the Planning Commission, who will make a recommendation to the City Council. These actions will be made at public hearings, currently estimated to take place in late summer through October. The current timeline for the EIR process is estimated at six months, which is subject to change based on the number of public hearings the process requires. The public scoping meeting will take place at the D Street Neighborhood Center located at 1301 D St. in Arcata. All interested community members are encouraged to attend. Public input regarding the environmental impacts of the removal process or suggestions for alternatives for the statue should be emailed to Senior Planner, Alyson Hunter, at ahunter@cityofarcata.org. For more information, call (707) 822-5955 or visit cityofarcata. org/787/McKinley-Statue.

ARCATA BUS STOPS The 2018 Arcata ADA Bus Stop Improvements Project will begin on Monday, May 14. The City of Arcata has contracted with RAO Construction Inc., for this project. The plan involves concrete work, asphalt paving, and drainage improvements at the Arcata transit center and adjacent portions of Ninth and 10th streets in the City of Arcata. Project construction will run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on some days the contractor may employ a longer work day, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. On the days of scheduled work, community members are urged to follow all directions and traffic control devices within the project area. Due to the work required for this project, Arcata & Mad River Transit System buses will be rerouted from the Arcata transit center. Temporary bus stops will set up on the east side of F Street, between Ninth and 10th Streets, to accommodate transit passengers. Construction for the project is scheduled to be completed by early July 2018. DUNE RESTORATION Help restore the dune ecosystem on the Friends of the Dunes property on Saturday, May 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Volunteers will be removing invasive plants to make room for native plant diversity. Tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided. Please bring water and wear work clothes. Meet at the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center, 220 Stamps Lane in Manila.

Sea Rise | Lots of new impacts and expenses FROM A1

will require all kinds of policy modifications to the Land Use Code, general Plan and Local Coastal Plan. But complicating planning is the uncertainty about the rate the water will rise. The city is using a number of models looking out to 2100, though science is providing new projects almost daily. The strategy boils down to three steps – protect, accommodate, retreat. That is, protect with levees those area where water can be held back, particularly critical facilities such as the Wastewater Treatment Plant. That will require significant investment. Accommodate with limited adaptation for features that can’t be defended or relocated. And finally, where defenses aren’t feasible or affordable, retreat to higher ground inland. One estimate holds that a $15 million system of 18-foot eco-levees and sea walls will preserve much of south Arcata. That would protect public and private assets conservatively valued at $141 million. “The question mark is, for how long?” Loya said. An integrated strategy is needed, and that will include regulations on development. Property owners may still invest in coastally located facilities, but they’ll have to factor in added expense for protection while looking realistically at how long those areas will be habitable and usable. Developers in those areas may have to sign conditions of approval for their projects which acknowledge the inevitability of eventual abandonment. Those who live, work or own property in initial inundation areas such as south Arcata, Sunny Brae, the Arcata Bottom and the low-lying Bloomfield neighborhood (elevation 13 feet) will be hit first, but all of Arcata will be impacted since the town’s sewage treatment is located along the bay. “It doesn’t matter where you are in the city. If you flush your toilet, and I suspect many of you do, it’s coming down here,” Loya said, pointing to the sewage plant. “And so it’s everyone’s problem. It’s not whether, but where we’re going to protect. Let’s come up with an integrated strategy.” Preparing for sea level rise pushes the planning horizon to the year 2100, straining planners and projections far beyond what is normally considered. Among the

unknowns that will affect the rate of water rise is how well greenhouse gas emissions are controlled – a huge unknown. As with variables, models abound. If, worst case, the ice caps melt and Greenland’s ice sheet slides into the ocean, all of Arcata will be underwater. If by 2040, the sea has risen by half a meter, Loya said, all bets are off. “We’re in crisis mode,” he said. “We’re going to be in emergency management mode, not planning mode.” More likely, and given 95 percent probability, is a gradual but significant rise of .8 meters by 2040. The higher nominal water levels will make King Tides and 500-year storms and make inevitable flooding along South G Street several times per year. Quite a bit of the shoreline is imperiled, but with permanent flooding along parts of the Arcata Bottom, new shoreline habitat would also be created and can be planned for. “We want to start thinking about targeting areas for habitat restoration,” Loya said. Coordination with the Coastal Commission has been problematic even during normal planning scenarios, but Loya said efforts at communication has been stepped up. “We’ve been handing documents back and forth for two years now,” he said. “We’re making progress.” Loya said that the measures and mitigations required to combat the effects of sea level rise are far beyond Arcata’s means, and will require Arcata to compete for financial aid from state and federal sources. Planning Commissioner Melanie McCavour said that Arcata’s efforts could stand out statewide – and make Arcata more competitive for funding – in a couple of ways. One is by pursuing wetlands restoration in the newly created coastal areas. She also pointed out that low-income residents are likely to be hit hardest, at least initially, by sea level rise. This because they inhabit areas of Arcata in most immediate peril, such as South G Street and Marsh District. “Most of the coastal communities are very affluent. We have a lot of people of color and of lower income living in our coastal area,” she said. Loya agreed, noting that those fleeing climate change elsewhere could settle in Arcata, causing gentrification and marginalization of the poor, which inclusion of a strong social justice policy could address.

it at this point and re-classifying offenses really doesn’t solve the jail (space) availability problem,” he said. Alternatives to incarceration are being implemented, including for felony offenses. District Attorney Maggie Fleming said that re-clas-

sifying certain crimes as felonies will in some cases trigger probation conditions like participation in drug abuse treatment or the Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program, not incarceration. “That’s something I would like the public to know – the difference between misdemeanor and felony doesn’t necessarily

mean that now somebody’s actually going to do jail time,” she continued. In a presentation, Sean Quincy of the County Administrative Office said the legislative bills have very low odds of success, as Governor Jerry Brown doesn’t support what’s considered a “piecemeal” approach to

mend funding it but Berman said it’s a position that will help McKinleyville as well as the two cities. “If we don’t have these deputies spread out in Trinidad and Blue Lake, we still get a response from the Sheriff’s (Office) but they’ve got to come from McKinleyville and they’re drawn away for hours from the population center where they’re needed the most,” he continued. Trinidad Mayor Susan Rotwein also highlighted the importance of funding the deputy position, saying not doing so would “eliminate law enforcement coverage by contract in the City of Trinidad after December.” Also during public comment, McKinleyville Union School District Superintendent Jan Schmidt asked for school resource officer funding, noting that it was allocated in the past but the Sheriff Office wasn’t able to staff the position. “We were funded for something we never got and now that we have the ability to get the staffing, we’re not going to get the funding,” she said. “And that seems a little bit wrong.” McKinleyville High School Principal Nic Collart told supervisors that a school resource officer would “build a bridge to help support students at an age where they might need

it the most, to help them become productive members of society.” He added that students “welcome the idea of having a school resource officer on campus – obviously, recent events in our country have put them in a place where they question their safety.” Supervisors also considered unrecommended requests for various pedestrian pathway projects, including a City of Arcata request for lighting improvements on the 17th Street walkway to Humboldt State University. Supervisor Mike Wilson vouched for the importance of pedestrian safety. “We talk a lot about roads and the safety of everyone in cars – we keep talking about that a lot – but people are getting hit by vehicles in various places,” he said. Supervisors responded favorably to the public comment they’d heard, approving $85,000 of Measure Z spending for the McKinleyville school resource officer and $75,000 for the Trinidad/Blue Lake sheriff’s deputy. Arcata’s $35,000 request for the 17th Street pathway’s lighting improvements was only partially approved, as supervisors decided to split that amount between Arcata’s project and pedestrian projects in Willow Creek and Southern Humboldt. Also approved was security guard coverage of

the county’s main library branch in Eureka and adding $268,600 to road improvement funding, bolstering the advisory committee’s recommendation to spend $578,550 on it. Before the votes, Supervisor Rex Bohn asked coun-

achele McCluskey is on to a good thing. Her booth in the vendor circle at the Arcata Farmers’ Market is little but packs a punch of flavor and eye appeal. The cashew based cheesecake slices are pristinely packaged to show off their marbled tops. Her large soup pot of artichoke leek soup, totally plant-based, sends forth enticing aromas to passers-by. Foodwise is on the scene. Foodwise is McCluskey’s complete approach to sharing her love of food with folks. She started selling her wares during the winter market but this will be her first season with the full-on spring through fall Saturday market. She started her business a year-and-a-half ago and the soups and cheesecakes are a great way to get the word out about her classes and kitchen services at the Foodwise location a block and a half away. Foodwise is located at 971 Eighth St, across from the Arcata Co-op. There, McCluskey and other nutrition consultants, teach hands-on classes. The participants come away with “delicious meals, new recipes, and lots of inspiration,” according to the Foodwise flyer. All meals are prepared without the use of meat, dairy or refined sugars. McCluskey does the prep: the chopping, the soaking, the sprouting, and even sometimes fermentation. Then when attendees arrive, she demonstrates two to three recipes, gets folks involved with hands on creating, and sends them home with delicious food in reusable glass containers and the recipes. She offers classes free to the seniors who live in the apartments upstairs in the building and also teaches family classes in Fortuna. McCluskey’s sunny personality and enthusiasm make it an easy way to learn about a different approach to food. She attended a culinary school in Fort Bragg called Living Light. Her soup ingredients come from her farmshare from Redwood Roots and she also “sources from all the

the changes being sought. The board’s support of the ballot measure will continue despite the doubts about its practicality. “Being the victim of numerous crimes, any time we can put a tool in the tool belt for Maggie to prosecute and (Brenneman) to hopefully rehabilitate afterwards, I think we’re going to follow that,” said Super-

ty Sheriff Billy Honsal if funding for school resource officers can be gained from school sources. Honsal said he intends to work with the McKinleyville district on exploring the option. “If we can get at least partial funding from the school district, we’re going to really try and do that,” Honsal said.

farmers at the market.” Once her booth sales are done, she can’t wait to roam around the market and get inspired for more creations. “I’m thinking of a fresh pea soup, maybe with dill,” she said. Her voice carried the enthusiasm of a five-year-old getting an ice cream cone. It’s clear that food is her passion. And the customers are passionate about her raw cheesecakes. The flavor of the day is Matcha Mint and the slices were all gone by noon. “Sold out?” a woman exclaimed. “I love your cheesecakes!” “I’ll have more next week,” McCluskey assured her. Participants must pre-register for the Sunday afternoon meal prep and for other classes, by calling (707) 633-8328 because space is limited. Amy Aiello, a nutrition consultant who teaches Introduction to Ayurveda, was visiting the booth on Saturday. She and other food folks add to the variety of experiences at Foodwise. Classes include Babies and Whole Foods on May 26 and Kids in the Kitchen on May 31 Visit foodwisekitchen.com, for more offerings. Better yet, try McCluskey’s soup at the Saturday market. It speaks for itself.

ARCATA – On April 13, deputies with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on Abbot Lane in Arcata for a welfare check. During their investigation, deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from a detached garage at the residence and observed other signs of an unpermitted indoor cultivation operation. Due to these observations, the Sheriff’s Office Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) began an investigation into the property. On the morning of Thursday, May 3, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office Drug Enforcement Unit served a search warrant at the property on Abbot Lane. While serving the warrant, deputies located 1,199 marijuana plants, in addition to suspected methamphetamine, cocaine and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Ian MacDougall, 33, was cited for the following misdemeanor charges: cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sales, possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms and possession of methamphetamine. Zach Simas, 33, was cited for misdemeanor possession of cocaine. Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

HUMBOLDT – The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office has received a report of a phone scam targeting local residents. The scammers identify themselves as being with Publishers Clearing House and tell the victim that they have won $2 million and a 2018 Mercedes Benz. The scammers ask the victim to cover a portion of the taxes on the prize, around $950. To receive the money, the scammers offer to pick the victim up from their residence and drive them to the bank to withdraw the cash for taxes. The scammers then say they will give the victim a cashier’s check for the false prize money after receiving the cash. If you think you’ve won a prize, here are a few things to know: • A company giving out a prize will never offer to pick you up and take you to the bank. • Never send money to collect a prize, sweepstakes check, or lottery winnings. If you have to pay, it’s a scam. • Never deposit a check and send back money, even if the funds appear in your account. That’s a sure sign of a scam. • If anyone calls asking you to pay for a prize, hang up and report it to your local law enforcement and to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov/complaint.

McKINLEYVILLE – On Friday, April 27 at about 1 p.m., a Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office deputy conducting a routine patrol in the McKinleyville area observed wanted felony warrant subject Loren Michael Lenhart, 26, at a bus stop on the 1600 block of Central Avenue. The deputy made contact with Lenhart and observed several pieces of suspicious property nearby. Lenhart initially told deputies the property was not his. But when taken into custody on his warrant, Lenhart then told deputies that all of the nearby property belonged to him. Loren Michael Deputies located a chainsaw and Lenhart brand new blue jeans, later determined to have been stolen earlier that day from a McKinleyville business. Deputies also discovered a green hiking backpack, later determined stolen from a Eureka pawnshop. Lenhart was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on his felony warrant for vandalism, tampering with an automobile, buying/receiving stolen property and resisting arrest, in addition to fresh charges of shoplifting and buying/receiving stolen property.

OPINION Stand down, Dollar General

Just what we DON’T need… A Dollar General “convenience” store selling sugared products, canned and processed foods, beer and the like. And, guess where this store is to be located… Right across the street from the McKinleyville High School. The store location also abuts the Ocean West Senior Village whose residents will have to deal with the impacts of such a store on a daily basis. While there may be a few benefits to having a store like this in our neighborhood, the negative effects will obviously outweigh the positive as has been proven in other neighborhoods. The added traffic on the already very busy Murray Road, the security lights from the store, the high potential for increased crime in the area, the ever-present trash and litter that will accumulate, the associated noise, the safety of the High School children crossing the street, and the many other negatives that accompany this type of business make this a very poor decision. A new Dollar General (corporate) store may create a half-dozen minimum wage jobs, but the negative economic impact to existing competitors in the area can be far-reaching, resulting in loss of business and ultimately vacant buildings and blight in the community. If you, too, are against such a store in our community, let your elected officials know it. Remind them that they work for you, and that you vote! Ralph Cannon McKinleyville

Please stop the Dollar General

Ocean West residents recently learned that Dollar General plans to build a convenience store on Murray Road and McKinleyville Avenue across from McKinleyville High School. Because the land is zoned Neighborhood Commercial, we were told by County Supervisor Ryan Sundberg that there is nothing the county can do to change the zoning or stop the blight to our neighborhood. This kind of business is totally incompatible with the neighborhood, selling alcohol at cost and providing a source of junk food for our high school youth. It is not the kind of business we want abutting our park, causing increased traffic and the probability of litter and increased crime. We are desperate for an answer to resolve this. With no possibility of rezoning with current ownership (Ocean West Holdings LLC Co), is there a local company willing to purchase the land and request rezoning or other recourse? We must let Dollar General know this is not the right place for them. Jean Browning McKinleyville

Protect our water supply

One of our most critical and essential resources that we are blessed with in Humboldt County is sufficient clean water. Such a resource should never be put in jeopardy. There has been discussion of allowing potentially dangerous industrial activity, including toxic chemicals, within the flood plain of the Mad River watershed. The possibility of someone or some LLC corporation being able to endanger this vital community resource for individual or corporate profit is reprehensible to local families. When something goes wrong, as we have seen in so many American communities in recent years, the LLC entity will simply use the “LL”...Limited Liability...to walk away from the problem and leave the clean-up catastrophe and expenses to be picked up by the local community for the corporation’s “mistake”. Wouldn’t the real mistake be to let such an enterprise begin its dangerous activity in the first place? I will happily vote for Steve Madrone for 5th District Supervisor on June 5, as he has my trust in protecting our water supply. Robert Fornes McKinleyville

Let’s have respectful discussions

In the best of all possible Arcatas, which I often find Arcata to be, there will be a plebiscite declaring that the electorate has carefully and sensitively weighed the concerns of all and chosen to support the decision by Arcata’s City Council to correct the Plaza’s inaccurate portrayal of Arcata’s persona. The council correctly judged that the citizens of Arcata and surrounding communities are no longer willing to ignore past atrocities and accept our continuing racial assumptions. My first 25 years were in North Carolina, my last 47 in California. I have learned it’s nigh impossible to grow up in this country, perhaps in any country, without having judgments clouded by racism. “Implicit bias” is a helpful concept, especially to those of us striving to overcome our own racism. We often need help to perceive and counter our own persistent fears and snap judgments. Failure to acknowledge and examine these realities can prevent us from seeing injustices in our communities. Recent reports on last year’s “voluntary manslaughter” of David Josiah Lawson add urgency to the replacement of the McKinley statue. We need public displays that encourage examination of our nuanced history and goad us to see and correct continuing injustices. I applaud Fhyre Phoenix (Mad River Union, April 25, 2018) for his catalog of the whys and the means of removing the statue. We can raise the necessary funds without disturbing the city’s budget. Some of us signed a petition to put this matter to a vote in order to continue in-depth discussions of what we want for our Plaza. Unfortunately, the petition has no options for polling us on what we prefer done with the statue. That has to be part of our continuing discussions. Whatever is decided, whether we add more signage or revert the Plaza to a gazebo with grazing cattle or portray its use by the original inhabitants, I hope discussions will involve all of us in respectful and reflective efforts to reach a common understanding. Chip Sharpe Bayside

A man of experience

Steve Madrone’s enthusiasm, expertise and dedication to our natural resources are noteworthy. After receiving a Master’s Degree in Watershed Management from HSU, Steve continued his learning by consulting and working with the Mattole Salmon Group (executive director), the Trinidad Bay Watershed Council, the California Urban Creeks Council, and the National Network of Forest Practitioners. At Redwood Community Action Agency, where Steve was the natural resources director, he was instrumental in moving forward the Hammond Trail from concept to reality. In his years of working at these various agencies and organizations, Steve has brought about $20 million into our economy. While pursuing his passions, Steve earned recognition and awards from the Salmonid Restoration Federation, the Alliance for Sustainable Jobs and the Environment, and the Humboldt Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Currently, Steve is a lecturer in Forestry and Watershed Management at HSU. Madrone also served as councilman and mayor pro-tem and on the Planning Commission in Blue Lake. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Madrone’s activities is his consistent and diligent attention to political decision making. His knowledge of the County’s General Plan, the Coastal Commission decisions, the Harbor Commission’s deliberations and McKinleyville’s activities is extraordinary. If you are interested in a representative that treasures our land and water, will argue for a diversified economy with small to moderate sized agricultural and business interests, alternative energies and sustainable developments, I encourage you to vote for Steve Madrone; vote for a change.

v LET TERS Madrone, a better grade of wood

A lot can be learned by watching the debates, and we’ve had a couple of good ones so far with the two candidates for the Fifth District Board of Supervisors. Hearing how Ryan Sundberg and Steve Madrone respond on the spot to questions from the crowd has shown their ability to think on their feet, and their convictions. At the debate sponsored by the Humboldt Association of Realtors Madrone was well versed and realistic in discussing the land use and economic issues confronting Humboldt County. He wants to encourage innovative forms of industry but also places great value in preserving the more traditional jobs in timber. With his background in forestry he considers timber to be one of our greatest assets, especially when managed intelligently. His ideas about using carbon credits to incentivize leaving trees in the ground longer and lengthen harvest cycles would make for a more mature, higher quality redwood product (and longer lasting decks). Both timber and marijuana have shown how vulnerable our county is to the “rape and run” tactics of outside opportunists. From Maxxam to Russian cartels, short term extraction (and destroying) of natural resources has left those of us who live here to deal with the consequences and try to clean up the mess. Having clear, consistent zoning and land use requirements for both small and large players (and significant penalties for violators) would go a long way to leveling the playing field and keeping the destiny of the health of our county in the hands of the people who live here. Steve Madrone is committed to this and would be a great, common sense advocate for the wellbeing of the people, economy and environment of our county. Check him out for yourself at the May 10 debate on KEET. Sam King McKinleyville

Madrone the diligent

In the debate Monday between the candidates for Fifth District Supervisor, Ryan Sundberg claimed that he never supported the Mercer-Fraser marijuana refinery next to our Mad River water supplies. But Mercer Fraser had the permit request in by 2015, and it depended on exactly the re-designation of the land that Ryan supported in the GPU 20 months later. What does this say about Ryan’s due diligence before green lighting a project he didn’t want? We will need better diligence to protect us from Mercer-Fraser’s asphalt plant in Big Lagoon, which features the same “butter crumb plant” that created a public health nuisance near Outlet Creek in Mendocino, resulting in hefty fines, partly because Mercer Fraser defied agency attempts to abate it. Steve Madrone specializes in looking at issues in depth, keeping the interests of the whole community in mind rather than “special interests” He has my vote. Meighan O’Brien McKinleyville

Solutions, not Band-Aids

When we vote, a reasonable approach might be to consider a bigger vision than just the candidate. What kind of a world we want? With that in mind, I read Ken Miller’s letter in the May 2 edition with dismay. Many, many of our local problems appear to be self-made. Not from malice, but from lack of vision. We need access to good food, adequate shelter, useful transportation and available healthcare. We have huge but not insurmountable problems in all these categories.

A5 v You simply must include your name, city and a phone number (that we won’t publish) with your letter before you send it to to opinion@madriverunion.com.

They all boil down to planning. Our county needs to look at long-term solutions to so-called “food deserts,” to unhoused people, to poorly envisioned public transportation and to lack of healthcare access for all. A solid infrastructure supports everybody. That’s why my vote for Fifth District supervisor will go to Steve Madrone. I look forward to a future of solutions, not BandAids. Carol Moné Trinidad

Time for a change

I really want a supervisor who knows what it’s like for people from all walks of life, not just the lucky ones. Personally, I’m much more impressed with Steve Madrone. After reading more about him on his website I think Madrone has had the kind of life, and done the kind of work, that will lead to, propose and implement the sort of things that will help our community, our families, and help our children grow up safe, and be better people. I like what Steve Madrone says about young people needing more healthy activities and job training to prevent drug and crime in our community. I have a young child and I worry about all the trouble kids can get into these days, especially because many parents can’t spend as much time with them. Teachers can’t deal with all these problems in the classrooms. That’s why we need more after school activities that can help children with their social and emotional development, to grow into productive members of society. It really is time to make a change. It really is time for a change! Jennifer Green McKinleyville

Time for a change

Humboldt County, no stranger to boom and bust industrial abuse, is familiar with politicians who help their friends to the detriment of resident taxpayers. Sadly, we are in the throes of another cycle, this time accelerated by the Board of Supervisors. Well connected cannabis investors are eager to reap the lion’s share of profits, while the economic base of the county – the small, environmentally-minded Mom and Pops – are hounded out of existence, perhaps to the point of taking their homes away, by county ordinances and regulations meant for the outrageous grows. These Mom and Pops are the ones who spend their money locally, keeping businesses afloat, and are not responsible for the environmental damage that created the need for strict regulation. The county got it wrong and we pay the price. Mercer-Frazer’s sweetheart deal, brokered, then backtracked, by Supervisor Sundberg is just one example. However, the Supes do face election from time to time, and this June we can elect someone who does “get it” – Stephen Madrone. Madrone approaches the environmental problem as one of business, where incentives for good practices elevate the responsible businesses above the abusive ones. Madrone knows firsthand that sound public policy depends on a commitment over the long term for community health. His stellar work on behalf of our Mattole Salmon these past years is just one of the gifts his firm, practiced hand has given our local economy. This year Chinook returned to the Mattole in record numbers, the fruit of the life-long dedication by Madrone and those who want this county to be the place our children and grandchildren proudly call “home.” Michael Evenson Petrolia

Fighting for affordable housing

On April 23, several locals from Humboldt County joined Mateo Rebecchi, an organizer for MHAction, a grass roots organization of manufactured homeowners aimed at fighting for housing affordability, at a protest in Sacramento to lend their voices to the others there who had come from all over the state of California to demand the repeal of Costa Hawkins Act so that The Affordable Housing Act can be put on the upcoming November California elections ballot. Just after 3 1/2 months of talking to their neighbors, going door to door, activists from all over California that want to repeal Costa Hawkins Rental Act were able to gather 588,000 signatures which will enable The Affordable Housing Act to be put on the state ballot in November. The marchers first went to the California Association of Realtors building where they chanted, “Fight, Fight! Housing Is A Human Right!” Then they marched to the Capitol where they carried signs saying, “Costa Hawkins Has To GO!” and many others that stressed the importance of affordable housing. Many of the protesters spoke to the crowd of hundreds who came from all walks of life, and were of all ages, and included many different ethnic groups. One woman said that she used to live in Elk Horn but had to move after her rent went up and was then forced to move into a crime-ridden neighborhood. Richmond City Council Member Melvin Willis said, “This is a way to ensure that families have a way to be protected against high rents regardless of when the building they’re living in was built.” Nancy Mohney said, “People need a secure and safe place to call home especially those who are most vulnerable to rent increases such as the elderly who live on fixed incomes.” My hope is that every state will get on board with similar initiatives and stop their corporate landlords from charging sky high rents too. Let us as Americans and residents of Humboldt County exercise our rights to better our quality of life with affordable housing that we all have the right to enjoy! Valorie McIntosh Arcata

BLOCKING TRAFFIC, FIGHTING AN OFFICER On Sunday, May 6 at about 11:19 a.m. an Arcata Police officer on patrol observed a subject walking in the middle of the southbound traffic lane on the 1200 block of K Street in Arcata. The traffic lane was completely blocked, causing vehicles to swerve around the subject and creating a safety hazard to the subject and to others. The officer attempted to speak with the subject, who ignored commands to move out of the roadway. The officer attempted to detain the subject who actively resisted, fighting aggressively with the officer. A Taser and pepper spray were used before the subject was detained. Nathaniel Cobb III, age 26, of National City, Calif., was arrested on suspicion of resisting an executive officer with violence. He was evaluated at Mad River Community Hospital and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. The officer was treated and released for minor injuries.

Art & music merge in season’s grand finale eurekA symPhony

EUREKA – Music and art merge in the Eureka Symphony’s grand season finale “Transitions of the Past” on Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19 at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts, 412 G St., Eureka. A free lecture is offered before each concert at 7 p.m. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Bach’s inspiring Suite No. 3 in D Major will be performed in concert with a special screening of artist Kathrin Burleson’s paintings from her Creation Series. The stunning Requiem in C minor by Luigi Cherubini, sung by the Eureka Symphony Chorus, ends the evening and season with a mix of reverence, grandeur and moving intensity. Burleson’s Creation Series is an ongoing series of watercolors featuring abstract paintings as well as work primarily focusing on flora and fauna found in coastal Northern California. In conjunction with this collaborative screening, Burleson has donated 20 signed and dated prints from the series to the Eureka Symphony to offer as a “Symphony Special” to concertgoers. Each print is valued at $250, but symphony patrons may purchase them for $200 at the concert. For advance “Symphony Special” purchase, please contact the Eureka Symphony office at (707) 798-6139. All proceeds from the sale of those prints benefit the Eureka Symphony’s ongoing efforts to provide the community with live world class music by North Coast musicians. “It is a privilege to have this opportunity to collaborate with the Eureka Symphony,” Burleson said. “Carol Jacobson and these fine musicians bring great music, and much joy, to Humboldt County and are the crown jewel of culture in this area. To be even a small part of that is an honor.” A musical tribute honoring local WWII SYMPHONY

CREAMERY DISTRICT – Bay Area troupe Magical Moonshine Theatre brings Animalitos to Humboldt for the finale of the 2018 Arcata Playhouse Family Series Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12. The show starts at 7 p.m. on Friday and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday. Animalitos is a collection of Aesop’s fables woven together in a magical puppet dance told in Spanish and English with a good dose of festive live music. The stories are told with a collection of wonderfully designed and constructed puppets. A rabbit starts a race with a tortoise, but seeing that he has plenty of time, he wanders off, and gets involved with a fox who is trying to court a crane with a romantic dinner for two. With some clever tricks they manage to get some food to serve but things go awry when the fox talks the rabbit into being the waiter for the meal. Meanwhile the tortoise is getting closer to the finish line! Founded in 1979 by Michael and Valerie Nelson, Magical Moonshine Theatre performances have been seen coast to coast in the U.S., as well as internationally with performances in 15 countries in eight different languages. Michael Nelson studied puppetry at the International Puppetry Institute with the late Jim Henson of the Muppets and is a past president of the San Francisco Bay Area Puppetry Guild. These performances are part of the Arcata Playhouse 2018 Family Fun Series. The series is supported by funding from generous local business sponsors Kokatat Watersports Wear, Holly Yashi Jewelry, Wildberries Marketplace and the California Arts Council as well as other local businesses and individuals that support the school performances. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 students and members and $10 for children 12 and under or $45 for a family of four or more. They are available at Wildberries Market Place and Redwood Yogurt as well as online at arcataplayhouse.org. For additional information or reservations call (707) 822-1575. The Arcata Playhouse is located at 1251 Ninth St. in Arcata.

That has increased up to five a week. “There is an unprecedented number of STDs in Humboldt County, reflecting a national trend,” he said. “All of these diseases are treatable, but they have to be diagnosed first and can be most contagious in the early stages.” It’s important for people to be honest with their medical providers about their sexual history and get tested regularly.

Blue Lakers get on their bicycles

t’s Bike Month, and the City of Blue Lake is fully participating! At the last Blue Lake City Council meeting, the mayor proclaimed May National Bike Month in the City of Blue Lake. Citizens are encouraged to ride their bikes to work daily, but especially on Friday, May 18, which is National Bike to Work day. Students at Blue Lake School are given the opportunity to ride their bikes daily to school, stopping by City Hall to log their bike riding, and at the end of the month, all who participate will be able to go to a special Ice Cream Social sponsored by Blue Lake Parks and Recreation! Even Blue Lake city staff are participating, by riding their bikes daily to work, and participating in a “Lunch Loop” every Tuesday, where fellow Blue Lakers are encouraged to join in as well. The big bike

event will be on Saturday, May 19, with a bike rodeo from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. followed by a free community picnic from 1 to 4 p.m. Get your bike tuned up, ride an obstacle course, and receive a free bike helmet. And while I’m on the subject of recreation in our city, the Blue Lake Parks and Recreation Commission has recently changed their regular meeting times. They now will be meeting monthly on the second Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. Recreation is one of those things that we all can participate in and enjoy. The commission is in place for citizens to voice their opinions on recreation activities, as well as help the City with funding options for programs, facilities and more. Before I go, I want to share a feel good moment. On Wednesday, May 2, TK-3rd grade students from Blue Lake School participated on a walking field trip to present a special check to the Blue Lake Family Resource Center. The students saved pennies the entire month of February, and they raised $500. The students wanted to give back to someplace local.

HUMBOLDT – County health officials are reporting a recent spike in HIV cases after an unusual number of infections were confirmed in April. Several of the cases are believed to be related. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis locally. Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Donald Baird said Humboldt

who have multiple partners, men who have sex with men and intravenous drug users who share needles are at greater risk. Dr. Baird said some of those at highest risk are people who have anonymous partners, a practice made easier by the prevalence of smart phone hookup apps. To find out if you are at risk or to make an appointment to get tested for STDs, call your health care provider or the Public Health Clinic at (707) 2682108.

veterans and featuring her portraits of them was the first collaboration between the Eureka Symphony and Burleson. She said it was great to work with the symphony then and that she’s “very excited to have this opportunity to add color and images to their beautiful music.” Cherubini, the composer that Beethoven called “the greatest” of his contemporaries, was influenced by the social and political issues of his day. This Requiem in C minor was contro-

versial because of its inclusion of women’s voices. While this piece was commissioned to honor the memory of Louis XVI, it is ironic that Cherubini also conducted the celebratory music at the beheading of Louis XVI 20 years earlier.

Letter Carrier Food Drive this Saturday food for PeoPLe

HUMBOLDT – Saturday, May 12 will mark the 26th annual Letter Carriers’ Food Drive. All residents of Humboldt County are being asked to participate and help “Stamp out Hunger.” During this nationwide food drive, letter carriers will be picking up donations of non-perishable food and delivering these donations to local food banks throughout the country. It’s easy to participate. Look for the blue, pre-printed donation bags in your mailbox the week leading up to the May 12 food drive. Simply place your donations of non-perishable food in the bag and leave the bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 12. Your letter carrier will do the rest, collecting donations and delivering them to Food for People at their Eureka location or to the food pantry in your community. This effort by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), with the help of rural carriers, postal employees and numerous other volunteers, has resulted in the delivery of well over one billion pounds of food to community food banks and pantries since its inception more than 20 years ago. In Humboldt County, the food drive has collected an average of 45,000 pounds of food countywide each year, and plays an important role in supplementing the food distributed by Food for People’s pantries and hunger-relief programs. Many of the pantries have already dispensed the food which was donated during the holidays. Food collected during the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive is critical in providing assistance for low-income families during the summer months when school children are without the meal assistance provided during the school year and struggling families are in need of help. Community members can help through donations of nutritious food. The foods

most needed include protein items (canned meats, tuna, and beans), canned vegetables (low sodium) and fruits (in 100 percent juice), low-sugar cereals, whole grain pasta, low-sodium soups, chili and stews, peanut butter and 100% juice. These items are among some of the essentials needed for a well balanced diet and are often the most difficult for food-insecure families to afford. Items that cannot be accepted include rusty or bulging cans, foods that are clearly beyond their expiration date and home-canned items which all have to be disposed of for health reasons. Please try to avoid donations in glass jars as they can easily break when tossed in with canned items. All food collected stays in the community in which it was donated to help local individuals and families in need. Questions about your community’s participation should be directed to your local postmaster. Volunteers are needed to help sort and box the food when it is delivered to Food for People at our Eureka location, 307 W 14th Street, on Saturday, May 12. This is a perfect opportunity for families, youth groups, civic groups and others to lend a hand for a few hours. Please call or email Food for People’s Volunteer Coordinator, Philip Anzada, at (707) 445-3166 extension 310 or volunteer@foodforpeople.org for more information. THE BUMPERS The McKinleyville Low Vision Support group, The Bumpers, invites the public to its meeting on Monday, May 21 from 11 a.m. to noon at Azalea Hall 1620 Pickett Rd. in McKinleyville. There will be a demonstration of the smart phone app Be My Eyes, an app that helps connect sighted volunteers with visually impaired people.

his Saturday, May 12, is the shelter’s first Saturday adoption event in quite a long time. We are hoping for a great turn-out so that they will be encouraged to hold repeat Saturday events!
