A new approach to solving homeless disaster Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union

EUREKA – In collaboration with the county and a consulting firm, Eureka is shifting its homelessness reduction planning away from facility- and campground-based approaches.

The City of Eureka’s planning efforts were outlined to the county’s Board of Supervisors at its June 9 meeting.

Eureka has made homelessness reduction part of its General Plan process.

Rob Holmlund, the city’s community development director, said Eureka is pursuing a method known as rapid re-housing as a primary strategy. It’s one that focuses on subsidizing rents and using existing housing to get the most need-intensive homeless people into stable living environments. Offering mental illness treatment and other supportive services is also part of what Holmlund described as the city’s “strategic step by step plan� to reduce homelessness.

Eureka’s planning effort is being coordinated by the Sacramento-based consulting firm Focus Strategies. Megan Kurteff Schatz, one of the firm’s principals, discouraged pursuit of tent cities and so-called tiny house villages, saying that they don’t deliver the results communities want from homeless programs. “Either you’re going to end up staffing it 24 hours a day, seven days a week BRIDGE

EUREKA – Juan Joseph Ferrer, 36, of Arcata, will serve 11 years in state prison plus one year for the special allegation of using a knife in the fatal stabbing in 2013 of unarmed Abruzzi chef Douglas Anderson-Jordet, 50, also of Arcata. The two terms will be served consecutively and Fer-

Humboldt County Superior Court Judge John T. Feeney said in pronouncing sentence June 15 that Ferrer’s actions constituted a high degree of viciousness and cruelty.

Feeney said Ferrer will receive 559 days’ credit for time served, plus 83 days for work time, which will reduce

tion that neither coastline municipalities nor counties have the resources for the requisite adaptation planning, let alone the needed capital improvement projects.

Arcata Bay and Mad River Slough are protected by 15.3 miles of dikes; almost six miles of them are rated “highly vulnerable� by Trinity Associates. The estimated cost of shoring up the dikes around Arcata’s wastewater treatment facility alone is $900,000 per mile.

Caltrans District One estimates the expense of adapting U.S. Highway 101’s North Coast corridor to climbing sea levels might reach as high as $370 million.

These cost estimates are a response to the fact that Humboldt Bay has the highest rate of sea level rise in all of California, 18.6 inches per century.

This is due to a combination of rising seas and subsiding land.

J UNE 17, 2015

HUMBOLDT – Public hearings on Humboldt County’s $318 million budget focused on spending $8.9 million of it – the portion expected to be reaped from Measure Z, the county’s public safety sales tax measure.

The Board of Supervisors held two hearings on June 8 to field commentary on the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

Most of the discussion among board members and the public was directed at spending revenue from the voter-approved Measure Z, which raised the countywide sales rate by a halfcent to fund public safety services.

A Measure Z Advisory Committee considered $18.7 million in funding requests. The largest requests were advanced by the county Sheriff’s Office and the Humboldt County Fire Chiefs Association, and the advisory committee supports their full funding.

During the afternoon hearing’s public comment session, Brian Anderson, the chief of the Redway Fire Protection District and a member of the Measure Z Advisory Committee, said the association’s initial goal is to supply all departments with standardized “structural and wildland firefighting apparel,” including breathing apparatus.

Most local departments do not have equipment that meets safety standards now, he continued. Anderson also described inadequate radio gear as a “critical safety issue” that some small departments are dealing with.

The Chiefs Association requested

$2.6 million in Measure Z funding.

A portion of the funding would pay for equipment. Supervisor Rex Bohn noted that the Loleta Volunteer Fire Department’s recent purchase of firefighting air packs was $3,000 less than anticipated when competitive bidding was done.

Considering the potential for lessened costs, supervisors voted to approve $2.2 million of the Chiefs Association’s request.

Supervisors also reduced the requested amount of Measure Z funding to the Sheriff’s Office after hearing Sheriff Mike Downey report that it would take at least six months to begin filling job vacancies.

The Sheriff’s Office requested $3.5 million for filling 30 frozen positions and supervisors approved $3.15 million. Similarly, supervisors approved $1.35 million of a $1.5 million request from the District Attorney’s Office.

That opened up Measure Z funding for requests that the advisory committee didn’t recommend. One of them is for a code enforcement officer, which would also involve a vehicle purchase for total funding of $125,000.

During the evening hearing, Supervisor Ryan Sundberg said the request is worthy because the county’s Code Enforcement Unit is challenged by its current staffing of only one code officer.

“If this person is on vacation or out sick, there’s no back-up,” he continued. Sundberg said he gets requests for code enforcement action and “there’s a lot that I don’t send over because I know it’s only one person.”

Supervisors agreed to fund the code officer position.

Also during public comment, Fortuna city officials asked for $125,000 for a police officer to join the county’s Drug Task Force (DTF). Downey said he supports it but added that in the past, Fortuna did not maintain a commitment to DTF involvement.

He also questioned consideration of funding requests that are geared to saving money or producing revenue.

“I think we got a clear indication from the public when they voted for this – they want to see a change,” Downey said, describing Measure Z as a “performance-driven measure.”

Fortuna Mayor Sue Long pledged the city’s commitment to DTF involvement and supervisors agreed to fund a Fortuna-based officer.

In addition to the other approved Measure Z requests, supervisors agreed to use about $10,000 for preventing elder abuse in nursing homes, $400,000 for the Eureka Police Department’s Mobile Intervention Services Team, about $267,500 for ambulance service in the Willow Creek area, about $600,000 to fill frozen positions in the Probation Department and $35,569 for a Rio Dell Police Department clerk.

Various requests from the Department of Public Works were also approved, including $425,000 for road repairs and about $80,000 for match funding on a federal grant for removing airport runway obstructions such as trees.

The budget’s adoption is set for the June 23 supervisors meeting.

6Rivers Brewery raises funds for local causes Six RiveRS BReweRy

McKINLEYVILLE — One of the reasons Six Rivers Brewery was selected Business of the Year by the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce membership is for its ongoing support of local charities.

Month-long fundraisers held at the brewery such as Ales for Autism for Families Advocating Autism Now (FAAN) and Beers for Balls for Nor Cal Pet Rescue are just two examples.

“This was our second time hosting Ales for Autism for FAAN which we chose to coincide with Autism Awareness Month in April. With the help of our generous community we raised $5,000 bringing the total to more than $12,000 in two years,” said Meredith Maier Ripley, co-owner of Six Rivers Brewery.

Animal charities are also important causes to the Six Rivers Brewery crew.

“Spaying and neutering is one of the most important things any responsible pet owner can do. Many animals come into shelters and rescues unaltered and can’t be adopted until they are spayed or neutered. In an effort to help Nor Cal Pet Rescue with these costs we have teamed up for the first Beers for Balls,” said Talia Nachshon, co-owner of Six Rivers Brewery.

watery grave and took her to a boatyard across the bay. Since then it’s been a huge effort of many hands and hearts to rebuild the Golden Rule so that she can sail again.

Gonzalez had been an integral part of that effort, working hard and faithfully for the last three and a half years, giving up his personal artwork.

“My first job was to design and fabricate a metal motor mount. That was my test, I think,” he said. “I did it and it worked well. Then I helped with demolishing the decking and side decking. We took it all out, then tried to preserve the good stuff and rebuilt all the pieces.”

The artist in Gonzalez’ makeup resonated with the work. “The wood

joinery really fascinated me,” he said.

“Each piece has compound angles and is never just square. It’s high art.”

Next, he made the bowsprit. “I adapted it from a recycled piece,” he explained.

He has also built three smaller wooden boats that have been raffled off as fundraisers for the project.

The project is almost finished and the Golden Rule will be christened and relaunched on Saturday, June 20 at Zerlang and Zerlang Marine Services, 1493 Fay Ave. on the Samoa Peninsula. The ceremony and presentations start at 2 p.m. with the launch scheduled for 4 p.m. A reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Humboldt Bay Aquatics Center, 921 Waterfront Dr. in Eureka.

The Golden Rule is slated to sail to San Diego, headed for the Veterans for Peace national convention in August, and Gonzalez will be aboard.

“They say because I’ve put so much work in it that I have first right of passage,” he said. “And I’m accepting it.”

Gonzalez is proud of what the group has accomplished. “It’s a national organization and here’s little Humboldt bringing a message of peace, love and freedom to the world. Sometimes it has been tedious and hard.It’s frustrating when we make mistakes but we try to get it right. We’re getting there. And,” he finished, “it’s been so much fun.”

“I can hardly wait to be on the waves,” he said. vfpgoldenruleproject.org

Oyster bar may be built on island Jack Durham Mad RiveR Union

WOODLEY ISLAND – The harbor district may build an oyster bar/restaurant on the western edge of Woodley Island near the Fisherman’s Memorial Statue.

Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District (HBHRCD) Director Jack Crider said that the district is developing plans for a 4,850-squarefoot single-story restaurant. The building would also include an outdoor patio area, as well as a picnic area where visitors could barbecue their own oysters.

The proposed restaurant is still in the discussion phase. However, if the harbor commission is supportive of the project, then the district would finalize its plans and obtain permits for the project.

Crider said the district would then seek a restaurant operator to sign a lease for the oyster bar. The district would then build the restaurant, which Crider estimated would cost about $1 million. The district would get its money back through the lease payments, according to Crider, who added that the existing

restaurant at Woodley Island – Café Marina – is the district’s biggest revenue generator.

In researching the idea of building an oyster bar, Crider said he visited Hog Island Oyster Co. restaurants in Tomales Bay and in Napa. He has also consulted with the company, which recently set up an oyster operation in Humboldt Bay. The oyster bar would serve oysters restaurant style, but could also sell

raw oysters to customers, who could then use the outdoor barbecues to cook the oysters themselves, Crider said.

On the east side of the restaurant, there would be temporary vending areas, where local fishermen could sell crab, tuna and other seasonal catches.

If the district decides to pursue the project, it would need to obtain a coastal development permit, which could take a year or more to get.

Westhaven | Big change

Ferrer | Will serve consecutive terms From A1

The change could open up Westhaven to much more intense land uses, including hotels, apartment buildings and large retail establishments.

“It’s really a mixed use designation that is broad and expansive,” said Senior Planner Michael Richardson of the Humboldt County Planning Department.

The existing zoning – rural village – allows for single-family residential homes and small “mom & pop” sized retail establishments, which are required to obtain conditional use permits.

Opponents of the rezoning say they don’t want the change and would prefer for Westhaven to stay the way it is, which is residential.

“It would radically change the density and allowable land uses in our neighborhood. We enjoy our open space and uncluttered neighborhoods,” stated Jennifer Knight in a letter sent to Fifth District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg. “Our community does not have the infrastructure – that is, the sewers, water supplies and roads – that would support the high intensity land uses which are needed for a ‘Village Center.’”

Richardson said that one of the problems is maintaining consistency in the new draft general plan, which no longer includes the “rural village” land use designation. In order to keep the current designation, the Board of Supervisors would have to make some sort of exception, allowing Westhaven to be the only place in the county with the “rural village” designation.

Or, if the board wants to maintain the framework of the draft plan, it would rezone Westhaven to “residential estates.” This would allow Westhaven to remain residential, as it is now.

However, if property owners wanted to open a retail establishment, like a store, they would then have to obtain a general plan amendment and a conditional use permit, according to Richardson.

The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to hold a workshop on the proposed countywide map changes on Monday, June 22 at the Board of Supervisors’ Chamber, 825 Fifth St., Eureka. The meeting is from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Homeless | Rapid re-housing begins From A1

– which is very expensive – or you’re going to have the people who get to live there be people who don’t have the highest service needs so it can be self-managed,” Kurteff Schatz told supervisors.

She emphasized that research done on a national scale has shown that the rapid re-housing technique has a high success rate.

Accordingly – and controversially – the Eureka-based Multiple Assistance Center (MAC) has been transformed from a facility serving families on the CalWorks program to one for adults and couples.

Lori Keele of the Redwood Community Action Agency, which manages the MAC, said more people are now being served through a “short stay rapid re-housing” approach that addresses housing needs as well as the personal challenges that perpetuate homelessness.

The county is part of a leadership team that’s working on the planning. At a budget hearing the previ-

ous day, supervisors voted to channel $400,000 of Measure Z sales tax revenue to Eureka’s Mobile Intervention and Services Team (MIST), an outreach program that teams up police officers with mental health specialists who offer assistance services to the most problematic homeless people.

County Mental Health Clinician Kelly Johnson said that between January and June, MIST has contacted 86 people, with 12 of them linked to mental health services and five placed in housing.

The viability of the “housing first” approach was questioned by Blue Lake resident and property owner Kent Sawatsky during a public comment session. He said he doubts that local landlords will be willing to participate.

“It sounds like you’re basically putting it upon the landlords to be the sheriff – you want us to rent to these people and then regulate these people,” he continued. “And we’re not going to do it – I can guarantee you that 95 percent or more of the land-

Laird singled out Humboldt’s underground utilities as the assets most at risk as the 21st century matures. Among them are: • PG&E gas lines and electrical towers; • County sewer district water lines, wells and storm water system; • Eureka municipal water lines, storm water system, wastewater lines; • Arcata storm water system.

“One of the things we came across in examining our regional assets at risk,” Laird informed the committee, is that “the critical and priority assets are the 101 transportation corridor and [the fact that] PG&E’s gas lines traverse that area. We have a local regional airport [Murray Field Airport, three miles east of Eureka] and municipal transmission lines that are underground; we have a number of utilities that employ the shoreline protection devices [dikes] of agricultural lands and yet” utilities do not play a role in shoreline protection. They do not even contribute ex gratia, i.e. on a voluntary basis.

What those assets illustrate, Laird testified, is a serious “disconnect” between asset owners and asset beneficiaries. Future partnerships will be essential, he believes, between, say, PG&E and individual property owners, for both planning and funding purposes.

To foster teamwork, Laird offered another recommendation to the committee, which is chaired by Assemblyman Mark Stone of California’s 29th District, spanning Santa Rosa, Monterey Bay (Salinas River mouth) and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Laird recommended that the state regulate adaptation plans and projects region by region, not project by project.

“We would prefer to maintain or enhance Humboldt Bay’s 41 miles of dikes using the same type of adaptation measures across-the-board,” he elaborated, via a region-wide program permit, “rather than asking each property owner to apply for an individual permit. That would help to expedite [adaptation measures.] Otherwise the private sector’s role in adaptation is likely to fall apart, even if the right strategy is in place.”

Stone did not respond specifically to Laird’s recommendations, but the assemblymember noted that, in policy terms, he

wants to foster state-local cooperation.

Other witnesses agreed that developing a regional strategy is indispensable: piecemeal adaptation would be, not just fruitless, but damaging. As an official from San Francisco’s Bay Conservation and Development Commission told the assembly panel, “One part of the Bay adapting can put other parts of the Bay at risk. You need to make sure you have a holistic plan.”

The reason partnerships between the North Coast’s private sector and public utilities is crucial owes to the predominance of individual property owners on the shoreline.

When Trinity Associates completed its final report last February of its two-year research and sea level adaptation planning project, Laird cautioned that local residents are mistaken if they believe the threat is mostly a public or government responsibility.

To the contrary, he said, “It is property owners who will have to adapt to sea level rise, not municipalities. Of all the critical assets in Arcata and Eureka or any other coastal community, the city may own several of them, like wastewater treatment facilities, but that is only a few among many others.”

North Coast dikes are illustrative: they are owned by hundreds of different property owners.

“Most of the dikes and levees built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were built and financed by private individuals,” according to Laird.

Addressing a key technical issue at the assembly hearing, Laird recommended that the state base adaptation planning on so-called “hydrologic units,” not on jurisdictional boundaries, at least for coastal lands that are diked.

Hydrologic units catalogue river drainage basins nationwide in a graduating series from smallest to largest. Humboldt Bay comprises a half-dozen hydrologic areas, according to Laird, defined by discrete landscapes as well as by drainage boundaries: Mad River Slough, Arcata Bay, Eureka Slough, Eureka/Entrance Bay, Elk River Slough and South Bay. Other assets at risk when existing shoreline structures such as dikes and railroad beds are breached or overtopped include:

• Arcata and Eureka Bays, Eureka Slough, Elk River Slough and South Bay; • Parts of South G Street, Arcata; • Parts of Indianola and portions north of Fourth Street, Eureka; • Portions of Fairhaven and King Salmon; • Fields Landing utilities.

According to Trinity Associates’ Humboldt Bay Shoreline Inventory, Mapping, and Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment, 75 percent (77 miles) of Humboldt Bay’s shoreline is artificial, consisting predominantly of earthen dikes (53 percent, 41 miles) and railroad beds (14 percent, 11 miles).

Those structures were built between 1890 and 1915, and today they stand about 1.5 feet lower relative to current sea levels.

The dikes were constructed to stem the extreme high tides that prevailed at the turn of the 20th century. Now those highs are reached by the North Coast’s annual peak high tides (king tides) rooted in two factors: sea level rise and land subsidence (tectonic shifts) in and around Humboldt Bay. The railroad has been dormant commercially for more than a decade and much of the rail bed has not been maintained. In consequence, a good deal of the diked-andrailroad-beds shoreline is vulnerable to overtopping, not only by king tides, storm surges and storm water runoff, but also by low pressure systems, wind waves and El Niño conditions.

Despite the current drought, ongoing climate change is likely to produce extreme rainfall events of greater frequency and magnitude, according to California’s Natural Resources Agency.

In an update in mid-2014, the agency said a better statewide vulnerability assessment, of the kind completed by Trinity Associates locally, should pinpoint the specific risks to transportation infrastructure (ports, roads, airports, transit systems) presented by both extreme weather events – flooding and storms – and other climate impacts, such as sea level rise and coastal erosion.

On another front, the agency cautioned that coastal groundwater aquifers are already vulnerable to salinization, “which will be exacerbated by rising seas; new and

lords are not interested in being on your list.”

Sawatsky described Eureka’s effort as “another program that’s destined to fail.”

But Eureka Councilmember Melinda Ciarabellini disagreed, saying the plan has “an extremely good chance of success” due to its emphasis on housing and treatment.

“Treatment works with this population,” Ciarabellini continued. “The Sheriff’s Office and Probation Department are moving in this direction as well, in order to reduce criminality and improve people’s lives.”

Kurteff Schatz emphasized that a goal of the effort is to tap various funding sources – including funding to protect landlords from issues such as property damage.

Supervisor Rex Bohn said he has talked with developers and property owners who are eager to get involved.

Supervisors fielded the presentation and took no action. But they indicated that the county will continue to collaborate with Eureka on a pilot program that could be implemented in various areas of the county.

innovative management techniques for protecting aquifers from salinity intrusion may be needed.”

One reason rising sea levels are a policy and planning dilemma is the uncertain degree of the threat. There is no ambiguity about the fact of their occurrence, says Laird, “but there remain a lot of unknowns in predicting the rate of sea level rise.”

A witness for the Coastal Conservancy, which advocates nature-based solutions (for example, converting mud flats to salt water habitat), testified, “The uncertainty of the projections is one of the biggest roadblocks we find in working with local governments. A lot of them want to be told what to do and they want us to say, ‘Yeah, it’s going to be 16 inches in the next 50 years and that’s what you’re planning for,’ but unfortunately the science does not let us do that.”

There is a corresponding dilemma in reverse from the local perspective: the state is a problem rather than a partner. Larry Oetker, director of Arcata’s Department of Community Development, said at a March committee hearing that the type of solutions the city contemplates – for example, a “Living Shoreline” that would substitute saltwater marsh for barren rocks and concrete – would require new local policies and regulations that almost certainly would collide head-on with the existing mandates of the California Coastal Commission.

The decision Arcata confronts, he explained, is whether “we’re going to push the envelope” – challenge the Coastal Commission. If Arcata’s new Local Coastal Plan through 2050 includes the strategic changes required, state officials almost certainly will balk on grounds that the commission itself lacks the authority to permit such novel approaches as Living Shorelines.

“Personally, I don’t want to challenge the commission at all, but the reality is we have to challenge the system, otherwise we’re just not going to get it [these strategic changes] done,” Oetker stated. “Right off the get-go we’re talking about filling wetlands and second is converting wetlands from mud flats into salt water habitat.”

This incipient local-state conflict is paralleled by the public-private shoreline ownership divide that Laird emphasized in his testimony. The ownership issue, he noted, directly affects the ability of Local Coastal Plan authorities to anticipate and adapt to rising sea levels.

Cutting tool sets trailer smoldering ArcAtA Fire

ARCATA – On Wednesday, June 10, shortly after 6:30 p.m., Arcata Fire District responded to a commercial fire located at the 5500 block of West End Road. The initial report was a semi-trailer filled with wood chips on fire inside a commercial building.

The first arriving officer reported the tractor trailer was not inside the building but there were flames approximately 10 feet high coming from the trailer with moderate smoke coming from the 20,000 square foot commercial structure.

The first arriving engine was assigned to check for fire in the commercial

structure. The second arriving engine was assigned to fire attack on the burning trailer, and the third engine was assigned to prepare for water supply. Once the first engine confirmed there was no structure fire, it was reassigned to assist with fire attack.

The cause of the fire was repair work being done on the trailer with a cutting tool.

Work had been completed on the trailer around 3 p.m. and smoke was seen coming from the wood chips in the trailer around 6:30 p.m.

“Based on witness statements, the fire most likely started as a smoldering fire deep down in the wood chips inside the trailer. Af-

ter several hours of smoldering, enough oxygen reached the fire and it grew into a fully developed free burning fire,” stated Battalion Chief Sean Campbell.

Arcata Fire District responded with three engines, three chief officers and five volunteer firefighters. Arcata Fire District’s Volunteer Logistic Unit responded to provide accountability aid to the Incident Commander and traffic control.

Humboldt Bay Fire responded with one engine and a chief officer to provide coverage in our fire district. Blue Lake Fire responded with one engine and a chief officer. No injuries were reported.

MANILA – Last Thursday, June 11 just after 2 p.m., Arcata Fire District was dispatched to a structure fire at Victor Boulevard and Manila Road, but that turned out to be an incorrect location.

When Arcata Fire crews arrived in the area, a neighbor flagged down the first arriving engine and directed it to the 1700 block of Laurel Drive.

The first arriving engine reported a small amount of light gray/brown smoke coming from the front door of the structure and a woman going in and out of the burning structure and requested assistance from the Sheriff’s Office.

The first engine assumed fire attack while the second arriving engine was assigned to establish a water supply and the third engine was assigned rapid interven-

tion crew (RIC).

“Based on the items found in the structure which are consistent with a marijuana grow operation, we suspect this is a grow house,” stated Fire Chief Desmond Cowan.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Arcata Fire District responded with four engines, three chief officers, eight career fire fighters, four volunteer fire fighters and two volunteer logistic members. Samoa Peninsula Volunteer Fire responded with one chief officer and an engine to assist on scene. Humboldt Bay Fire responded with an engine and a chief officer to provide coverage for the fire district. Blue Lake Fire responded with an engine to assist with coverage in the McKinleyville area. Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to assist with logistics.

Coast Guard crewman struck by laser US coASt GUArd

EUREKA – A Coast Guard helicopter flying over Eureka was targeted by an individual with a laser the evening of Wednesday, June 10.

The MH-65D helicopter crew was conducting routine training near Eureka when the incident occurred. The laser originated in the area behind WalMart commonly referred to as Devil’s Playground and shone directly in the eyes of one crewmember.

The aircraft returned to the California Redwood Coast Humboldt County Airport in McKinleyville to allow the crewman proper medical attention after he reported pain in both eyes. In order to protect the health and safety of the crew, any aircrew struck by a laser is taken off flight duty until cleared by a flight surgeon. This hinders the Coast Guard’s ability to respond to

people in distress.

Laser pointers can cause glare, afterimage, flash blindness or temporary loss of night vision, causing great danger to the crew. If a laser is shone in the eyes of an aircrew member, the aircraft must abort its mission.

It is a federal crime, as well as a violation of California state law to aim a laser pointer at an aircraft. If an individual is caught purposefully lasing an aircraft, punishment ranges from being arrested or having to pay a civil penalty of $1,000 up to $2,000 and three years imprisonment.

Federal law allows for a punishment of imprisonment of up to 5 years. A list of California aviation laser incidents can be seen at laserpointersafety.com/news/ news/aviation-incidents_files/tag-california.php.

How to reduce water use by eight percent City of ArCAtA

ARCATA – Arcata residents are asked to cut their water usage by eight percent starting this month and also to comply with 12 water conservation requirements mandated by the state.

Arcata Environmental Services Director Mark André unveiled the emergency drought measures at the last Arcata City Council meeting.

“An eight percent cutback is a good place to be. Some cities are being asked to cut usage a lot more,” said André. “The average person in Arcata uses 47 gallons of water a day. An eight percent reduction means shaving off three and a half gallons per day. There are ways to do that, for example putting a bucket in the shower to catch water that would otherwise go down the drain and watering plants with that.”

Residents can also cut water use by purchasing a low flow shower head and taking shorter showers. Cutting showering time by five minutes can save up to 12.5 gallons of water. Watering the yard less and washing only full loads of laundry and dishes are other ways to save water.

The City of Arcata will partner with other local municipalities to advertise and distribute educational materials on cutting water usage. In the meantime, people are required to refrain from:

1. Allowing runoff onto neighboring property or sidewalks and roads when watering landscaping.

2. Watering when it’s raining or for 48 hours after it has rained.

3. Watering more than four days per week (commercial nurseries are exempt from this rule).

4. Watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

5. Watering with a hose that isn’t fitted with a shut-off nozzle.

6. Watering turf on street medians except where needed to protect trees 7. Watering landscaping outside of newly built homes in a way that doesn’t meet California Building Standards Commission or Department of Housing and Community Development requirements.

8. Washing a vehicle with a hose that is not fitted with a shut-off nozzle.

9. Washing driveways, sidewalks, patios or parking lots unless necessary to protect public health and safety.

10. Using a decorative water feature that does not recirculate water.

11. Serving water in an eating or drinking establishment unless it is requested.

Also, hotels and motels must let guests know they have the option to not wash their sheets and towels every day. Exceptions to this mandate will be

made for public health and safety reasons.

The state began requiring Arcata to report the amount of water used on June 1. The city will be fined if does not reduce its overall water usage by eight percent. [The Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District last week successfully got Arcata’s reduction amount cut to four percent.]

For its part, the Arcata city government is reducing its water usage by watering its sports fields more precisely, not washing city vehicles, not watering landscaping around pump stations and other utility facilities, and seeking out and repairing leaks.

Arcata residents and visitors may see some browned lawns and shrubs around city facilities as a result.

The city’s efforts with its residents will focus on public education first, with the option of imposing fines in cases of excessive waste.

“The state mandate focuses on stopping water waste, like leaving hoses running when washing a car, or washing off a sidewalk when a broom can be used instead,” said André.

“Arcata has already had some of these water conservation measures in place in 2014. It’s just ramping up because of the severity and continuation of the statewide drought emergency.”

We do not like it for two reasons: 1. It would radically change the density and allowable land uses in our neighborhood. We enjoy our open space and uncluttered neighborhoods.

2. Our community does not have the infrastructure – that is, the sewers, water supplies, and roads – that would support the high intensity land uses which are needed for a “Village Center.”

There are no sewers here. The Westhaven Community Services District does not have enough water to supply all the existing residences, and certainly not new ones.

People who have wells are finding that their water supplies are diminishing because of both the drought and the increasing number of people tapping into the water table.

Westhaven Drive is narrow, crowded, and curvy, and is unsuitable for much more traffic.

We would ideally like to keep the original “Rural Village” land use designation, but if that is impossible, we would settle for the “Residential Estates” land use, which is designed for single-family residential use in areas with limited public services.

It is our understanding that the Planning Commission did consider this as a possible land use for Westhaven.

Please do not approve the “Village Center” land use designation for Westhaven.

Sincerely, Jennifer Knight Westhaven

v LETTERS Watering the City Hall sidewalks and gutters Just when you tell us in the paper that we have to cut our water usage by eight percent and I as a homeless fuk can’t even afford a shower, I walk by City Hall after buying food and see this: At 4:45 a.m. Thursday, City Hall automatic sprinklers not only watering the lawn, but the sidewalks and the gutters run.

A lot of water wasted. I felt like doing a naked slip ’n’ slide and washing my ass.

At least then it would be a two for one.

Props to Drop, boo to cabals and secret agendas I want to thank Chris Drop and his entire staff at the Manila Community Service District.

They are dedicated, intelligent, friendly people who do a tough, dirty job that often goes unthanked, although every single person in Manila depends on their services 24/7/365.

I say let Redwood Coast Montessori lease the Resource Center, let Chris and his staff focus on infrastructure and get rid of the cabals and their secret agendas.

n 2010, the Arcata City Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified a dog park as a priority based on community surveys, questionnaires and focus groups.

Goal 54 of the 2014/15 City Council was to “Coordinate with other city departments to identify potential sites for dog parks and/or leash free areas within existing city properties.” The City Council’s goal for 2015/16 is to have site control over an identified property for the dog park.

Two years ago, the Arcata Dog Park Working Group (ADPWG) came together to put some steam behind Goal 54 and the 2010 report where community members made it clear the city needed a dog park.

Since our first dog park meeting, we have met with city councilmembers, city committees, individual staff and administrators to explain the rationale for making the dog park a priority. We also shared a design for the park at the Little Lake property, a piece of land is along

he warmer season has officially started; my turn signal is self-canceling again.

It doesn’t care for colder weather, so around Thanksgiving or so, it goes on strike. Sometime in late spring, it spontaneously starts working again.

The first three weeks I lived in my new place were overcast and gloomy, which didn’t help my mood much. I’m used to lots of natural light and great views. My apartment gets little natural light and the views are mostly board fences.

So when the sun comes out, it makes a big difference. Also, I have a chair angled so I can see some board fence with landscaping in front of it. The apartment was especially dark at night, but the recent addition of a floor lamp

I had to turn off my high-beam lights. That neighborhood doesn’t have street lights, so I normally hit the high-beams as I pulled out of the driveway. It was about half a mile to Murray and 101, and most often, I wouldn’t even make it that far. Twice in 20 years I reached School Road.

The county is still making plans to improve Central Avenue between Hiller and School, but the area south of Bella Vista Hill needs attention more urgently. The road is narrow, dark and bumpy. Right after the bumps there’s a section which is off-camber, and tries to throw the car into the ditch. There’s usually oncoming traffic, so I can’t use my highbeams to get a better look.

I’m hoping that by the time the rain starts again, I’ll be more familiar with it. The other night there was fog at the top of the hill, which didn’t help the visibility, either. The improvements associated with the new bridge helped, but that area is still oddly designed and counter-intuitive.

I’m still making my way through the maze of changing my address. It has to be done in specific order, depending on what accounts are involved. I needed to order checks, but I had to get it changed at the bank first.

The credit card billing address has to be changed before I can use it to order something delivered to the new address. Each step has to be carefully planned out. So far, I haven’t made a misstep, but one is probably inevitable.

All things considered, I think it’s gone pretty well. I’m certainly better off than an acquaintance, whose family moved four times in one year. He says he really hates to move.

Arcata to revise development rules in Coastal Zone Upcoming scoping sessions planned City of ArCAtA

ARCATA – The City of Arcata’s Community Development Department is updating its 1989 Local Coastal Program. The program guides and regulates all development within the Coastal Zone, which makes up about one-third of the city.

Many of these lands are planned and zoned for agricultural and industrial uses, but the update will include potential changes to the downtown commercial business district and some residential areas. The update will consider a variety of issues ranging from agricultural resources, coastal access and industrial development,

to sea level rise and other coastal hazards, wetlands and other environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

The Community Development Department has begun a scoping series of public meetings during regularly scheduled Planning Commission meetings at 6 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month in the Arcata City Hall Council Chamber.

This is a chance for the public to hear how the Local Coastal Program update is proceeding and, more importantly, to help the city’s staff and Planning Commission understand how these proposed policies would affect the community and environ-

ment. This feedback will help staff members craft policies that will shape activities in the Coastal Zone for the next 20 years.

The schedule and topics for these meetings are as follows: • June 23 – Potential Coastal Zone boundary adjustments and voluntary owner-initiated annexations affecting certain Coastal Zone properties.

• July 14 – Samoa Business and Creamery districts - zoning and overlay discussions.

• July 28 – Sea level rise and the Marsh District – zoning discussions • Aug. 11 – Zoning and overlay discussions/recommendations (continued) • Aug. 25 - Sea level rise, zoning and

Joan Schirle as Mary Jane

BLUE LAKE – She wowed us in 2011 and we laughed so hard we had to see it twice in 2012.

And she’s back, that diva, the Empress Sativa, Mary Jane, the Queen of the Emerald Ball.

Dell’Arte is making itself crazy (even more crazy?) by reprising Mary Jane: The Musical for this year’s Mad River Festival while simultaneously filming the movie version. It’s a challenge of scheduling, keeping different dialogue and sequences straight, introducing new songs and updated story lines and breaking in a few replacements for characters.

If anyone can pull it off, that wacky and creative crew in Blue Lake can.

This is a musical Humboldt has taken to its heart, not only because of the subject matter, but even more because the music is written by a dozen local songwriters who speak our truths in their songs.

“It's what we call ‘Theatre of Place’,” said the play’s director, Michael Fields, at a recent rehearsal. “It gives voice to the community.”

Piano man Tim Randles, who will be in the house band for the third time, wrote two of the songs. “It’s amazing how they got all these random songs and created the story around it, with Mary Jane as MC of the show,” he said.

Randles worked with Fields on the

song, “Trimmers’ Flamenco.”

“We did a lot of research into the lingo and read all these articles about what happens to trimmers, the trouble they get into. We used their jargon in the song.” Randles loves the costumes and the dancing, “especially David Powell’s.”

Joan Schirle, Dell’Arte's founding artistic director, is reprising her role as Mary Jane. “I find it exciting to do repeat versions of plays,” she said.

“Mary Jane is a party animal and I’m not, so it’s fun to step into her shoes.”

Schirle wrote the song “Emerald Ball.”

“When Michael heard it, he said, ‘Let’s open the show with it.’ In fact that was his idea to stage the whole show at the ball,” she explained.

The whole show itself is a ball with a wildly talented cast of 14 actors, singers and musicians. New to the cast this year are Leira Satlof, who definitely has the pipes and presence to replace Joyce Hough, and Mark MARY JANE: THE MUSICAL III Where: Rooney Amphiheater, 131 H St., Blue Lake When: Thursday through Sunday, June 18 to July 5 (no show July 4) Admission: $18/$15 students & seniors/$10 kids 12 and under Tickets: (707) 668-5663 ext. 20 dellarte.com

Teeter, in the role of Mary Jane’s son.

New also this year are songs reflecting political changes, including Zuzka Sabata’s “Please Tax Us,” a marvel of songwriting chops that includes the words “abate” and “paradigm.”

Keeping the musical up to date is important, according to Fields.

“We’ve tried to reflect the fact that it’s been legalized in Colorado and Washington,” he said.

Mary Jane: The Musical III runs June 18 through July 5 in the outdoor Rooney Amphitheatre at 8 p.m. Don’t get caught short, as it’s predicted to sell out.

edwood Pals Rescue does occasionally have small dogs in our care, as well as the bigger dogs more frequently featured here. Currently, we have two small dogs that are looking for their forever homes. Gerdie is a sassy little MinPin, chocolate brown in color and about 5 years old. More about her in a future column.

Jojo, pictured here, is a spunky little Jack Russell Terrier. He is a neutered male, about 2 years old. Jojo has all the energy and enthusiasm that comes with a Jack Russell! He would love to have a friend to play with. Each time that we Mara have taken Jojo out for a walk, he has s egal gotten a little calmer and more focused.

DOGTOWN He really is a cute fellow. He is pretty good on the leash and eager to meet the other dogs. He has been friendly with the two big male dogs that he has met.

Jojo would make a good running or agility partner. His white coat looks wiry but feels soft, and though I wouldn’t say he was thrilled about his bath, he was a good sport when I washed him.

Jojo is with Redwood Pals as a result of being too protective about food in his temperament test. As a result, we probably wouldn’t recommend a home with babies or toddlers for him. We do have recommendations for exercises designed to reduce food-guarding and will make sure that we pass those on to any foster or adoptive family.

Jojo has had no issues with gently taking treats from us. If you would like to meet Jojo (or GerdJojo ie) please contact us at redwoodpalsrescue@gmail.com or call

From the Humboldt County Animal Shelter, we have Jenna this week. Jenna is a personal favorite of mine, maybe because she looks a little like my beloved Hank, but more Jenna likely because she is one sweet little dog.

Jenna is a 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is on the smaller side of medium, probably just about 40 pounds. Jenna is a happy and curious dog. She loves to get out on a walk and check out all the smells and sights on the path. She walks nicely on the leash, and sits and comes when asked. She is dog and people friendly. This dog has it all – nice personality, decent manners and a nice compact size. She was interested in the cats when we walked by but did not seem aggressive towards them. We have a nice handout at the shelter for integrating a new dog into a home with cats that is available to anyone who wants it.

Jenna is spayed, micro-chipped and current on vaccinations. To meet this nice girl, stop in at the shelter at 980 Lycoming Ave. in McKinleyville or call (707) 8409132 for more information.

SCENE Teen take on Dante’s Inferno at Playhouse ArcAtA PlAyhouse CREAMERY DISTRICT – The Arcata Playhouse’s 5-year-old teen program, Apprentice Entertainment, has taken on an ambitious project to open Thursday, June 18. In 2014, the teens and Program Coordinator Jackie Dandeneau came up with the idea to create and produce an original musical theatre production. The show, titled Hospital Heights (and lows), was devised completely by the participating teens from Arcata High School and Northcoast Preparatory and Performing Arts Academy.

The production is a psychological journey of a young girl named Jenny, as she descends into the depths of the human psyche, from which she ultimately ascends as a transformed young woman.

Influenced by Dante’s Inferno, the play visits a variety of patients in a hospital through Jenny’s eyes.

Directed by choreographer Laura Muñoz, the ensemble cast includes Taya Ross, Elizabeth Sloan Rouse, Amelia David, Trinity Morton and AJ Murphy. Musical Director Rich Macey, a Humboldt State music student and an original member the Playhouse teen program, wrote music and conducts a band with piano, clarinet, guitar and bass. Musicians are Matt Wardynski, Angela Petricca, Dillon Craghead and Matt Craghead.

The script was conceived and written

by Trinity Morton, Dash Rowe, Neroli Devaney, Amelia David, AJ Murphy, Matt Wardynski, Elizabeth Sloan Rouse and Rich Macey with mentorship by Lauren

Terminal Hospital Heights (and lows) opens Thursday, June 18. Submitted photo Wilson and Jackie Dandeneau. India Allen created shadow puppets under the guidance of James Hildebrandt and lights are being run by Neroli Devaney with David Ferney as mentor. Julia Sloan is the stage manager and Cairo Aguilar is documenting the process with Claire Reynolds providing guidance.

Playhouse Arts understands the importance of fostering skills in the next generation and is committed to providing opportunities for our youth to learn and grow within our community.

Through Apprentice Entertainment and this circle of mentorship, teens are given a chance to develop leadership skills, increase opportunities within our community, and help build a strong base of young innovative leaders.

Tickets at $10/$5 students and teens and are available at Wildberries Marketplace, at arcataplayhouse.org or reserved by calling (707) 822-1575.

This week in Crabs

WHO’S ON THIRD? Bobby Schuman attempts to steal third base in Friday’s game. He would have been successful, but was sent back to second due to batter’s interference.

Confidence remains high for Crabs Erik Fraser Humboldt Crabs

ARCATA – You can’t win them all, but you can come darn close.

After reeling off 11 straight wins to start their season, the Humboldt Crabs finally dropped a game in their series finale against the Seattle Studs on Sunday, June 15.

“A really good start,” said Crabs manager Tyson Fisher. “I told the guys how happy and how proud I am of them for getting off to such a good start. Now’s the tough part, you’ve got to bounce back from a loss, but

MUSICAL CHAIRS Between innings, Crabs games include fun activities like musical chairs.

this group’s been resilient this entire season so far, and I have a lot of confidence that Tuesday when we get back they’ll be more hungry and ready to go.”

Resilient is right. But what’s interesting is how. With only two home runs – one an inside-the-parker – they haven’t shown a ton of power, but the pitching has been solid, especially out of the bullpen, and they seem to have the knack for the timely hit.

“We string at-bats together,” Fisher said. “We definitely can’t sit back and wait for a home run to put us ahead, we’ve got to be able to string one, two, three at-bats together, and hope for a little luck. As long as you put together good at-bats, you’re going to win more often than not.”

Coming off a perfect opening week, the Crabs welcomed the San Francisco Seals to town on Tuesday, June 9 and Wednesday, June 10. On Tuesday, the pitching came from starter Donald Robinson and reliever Scott Parker. Robinson, who plays at College of the Redwoods, danced in and out of trouble but didn’t yield a run in six innings, and Parker finished things of with three strong innings of relief.

The Crabs for their part only managed one run against Seals starter Nick Boyett, but got to reliever Pedro Hidalgo in the fifth. The big blow

came from big Bobby Schuman, whose two-out, two-run knock made it 5-0.

Schuman would drive in another run in the seventh, his fourth of the game and the final run in a 6-1 win.

The next night, the Crabs would revisit the script from opening week – late dramatics. Once again unable to do much against the Seals’ starter, they reached the seventh inning facing a 4-0 deficit.

But lead off hitter Beau Bozett got things started with a single, and Jesse Medrano did the same. Then the Seals bullpen began issuing free passes. Three straight Crabs walked, pushing Bozett and Medrano across the plate. Schuman drove in another run on a fielder’s choice, and pinch-hitter Dillon Kelley tied the game with a sacrifice fly.

After a perfect top of the eighth by Dillon Houser, Ryan Dobson led off the bottom of the frame with a single and stole second. But neither Bozett nor Medrano could get him to third, so Allen Smoot came up in need of some two-out magic, and he delivered, singling to right to give the Crabs the lead.

Austin Root, who is making a strong case for the closer role, inherited that 5-4 lead, allowing one base runner in the ninth but also recording two strikeouts in earning his third save.

Crabs | Tough Studs From C1

Having swept the Seals, the Crabs turned their attention to the storied Seattle Studs, who came into town with the same number of losses the Crabs had: zero.

With a combined record of 20-0, something had to give. But starter Drew Weston made sure it wasn’t the Crabs who would yield first. Weston allowed just two hits while striking out seven in seven innings.

And while Weston was compiling that line, the Crabs built a fragile 2-0 lead on RBI singles by Smoot and Dobson in the third and fourth, respectively, but it stayed that way until the bottom of the eighth. That’s when, with two on and two out, new arrival Cooper Brunner doubled just over the left fielder’s head to double the Crabs’ lead, 4-0.

The insurance runs loomed very large on the board when the Studs loaded the bases with one out in the ninth. But they would only get one run on a sacrifice fly, and Root – though this time not in a save situation – once again ended the 4-1 victory with a strikeout.

Saturday evening’s game was a classic see-saw battle. The Studs’ Mark Rockey emphatically opened the scoring with a monster blast on to U.S. Highway 101 in the second, and they added another run in the third. But Ben Petersen and Dobson were key to a pair of two-run rallies by the Crabs in the fourth and sixth as the Crabs jumped ahead 4-2.

Alas, the lead was very short-lived. Rockey led off the seventh with his second freeway ball of the evening, and that jolted the Studs’ offense to life in a four-run, six-hit inning as they re-took the lead, one which they would take into the bottom of the ninth.

But as they’ve managed to do so often on the young season, the Crabs refused to die. Smoot singled, Kelley was hit by a pitch, Schuman walked, and suddenly the bases were loaded. After a pitching changed, Nick Spini made it 5-4 with a fielder’s choice, and Petersen followed with a game-tying single.

Medrano looked to play the walk-off hero, but his line drive toward left was snagged by the third baseman and Petersen was caught too far off first for a double play that sent the game into extras.

Lucas Halstead came up with two on and two out in the bottom of the tenth, looking to send everyone home, but he popped one up on the infield and threw his bat away in disgust, thinking he had failed. But nighttime pop-ups at the Arcata Ball Park can be tricky, and the ball eluded Rockey’s glove at first base. Dobson, who had been 180 feet from home at the start of the play, shifted gears and charged home, arriving just before the throw.

The comeback well finally ran dry however under the Sunday afternoon sun. The Studs came roaring out of the gate, getting a three-run freeway bomb from Dylan LaVelle before the Crabs recorded an out. The Crabs never really recovered and lost the series finale 6-3.

Still, taking a series against the Studs was an impressive feat. This week will present another test, with six games in six days from Tuesday to Sunday, against the Auburn Wildcats and Walnut Creek Crawdads.

20-25 hours a week and still have time to go to the river and enjoy summer. And we get to meet the players.”

The job is not all fun and games. “We work the whole game and get here two hours early to set up and get the grill going. Plus we do picnics, birthday parties and feed the band and the booth,” Martel said.

But the camaraderie is the best benefit. “We’re a family,” she said.

At the grill behind the booth, Brassmassery, an oceanography major at HSU, was taking her turn to cook burgers.

She was remarkably calm about minding the grill, keeping the flow of burgers going, and talking to the customers at the same time. When asked if she ever burned the hamburgers, she answered “Sure. One time, James (Nowell, the beer keg wrangler) took the burnt ones home to his dog.” She likes the grill gig because she can watch the game but she also likes working the window “for the math.”

Another job where the person working the booth can watch the Crabs play is the pizza and ice cream station next to the band. Called the annex, it’s usually staffed by one

walls of the fuselage spoke of the Rosie-the-Riveters who had built this plane.

The artifact that really brought the war to life for me was a heavy canvas bag, frayed and worn, that hung from the machine gun pointing through a roof turret. The bag had an industrial zipper and was removable. I looked at it and realized that the spent cartridges were collected in it so that the hot metal wouldn’t fly around the inside of the plane. Some young man would grab the bag off the gun, empty it, and quickly put it back in place so the gunner could continue firing.

It was a simple thing but it brought tears to my eyes, thinking of the brave young men who served in this plane.

Hey, old bag, I whis-

pered so no one could hear.

This old bag salutes you.

All too soon, our flight ended. Now, I have flown in two-seater gliders, a DC3, numerous commercial planes of all sizes and Air France all the way to Paris. This was the smoothest landing I’ve ever experienced. I was sitting on a hard wooden floor and didn’t even feel us land.

The only way I could tell we were back on the ground was hearing that characteristic squeak of wheels and brakes.

Pilot Mac McCauley, who flies the B-17 all year long “for the last 11 years, seven days a week,” according to Hunter Cheney of the foundation, brought us back to earth safely.

But it was several hours before my feet really touched the ground.

While the other job stations are rotated, McCay is a steady worker at the annex. “The annex is Marissa’s thing,” Martel said.

McCay was training Amanda Kunst, a senior at HSU who plays on the basketball team. Kunst usually works the stand with the rest of the crew but could be a substitute for McCay. When asked how she liked the change of scene, she smiled and said, “It’s my first 10 minutes on the job.”

Seeing their friends was a bonus for both young women.

Tip tip hooray for these hardworking young women who keep the fans and the band from starvation during the season.

Grant Ramey, 75, a 40-year resident of McKinleyville, was an enlisted man in the infrantry who fought in the Pacific for three and a half years.

He had just come back from the Pacific islands and arrived in Seattle when he heard the war was over. “The main thing I recall is they shut the PXs down because they didn’t want us to go crazy,” he said. He had fought in New Guinea and the Phillipines and said the Japanese were losing. He was not surprised when the war ended, and said he feels the dropping of the bomb saved millions of Japanese and American lives.

JUST DESSERTS For decades, the Trinidad Civic Club ladies have had the monopoly on desserts at the Fish Festival. In the bylaws, each member of the club is required to bake two cakes or pay a fine. The proceeds from the baked goods benefit the club’s scholarship fund. The club gave two $1,000 scholarships this year – one academic and one vocational.

This year, the cakes will be served in a Music & Art CafĂŠ in Town Hall from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 21. Festivalgoers can feast out while enjoying music. Hot and cold beverages will be for sale.

Civic Club members in red aprons will also ply the festival grounds with trays of cake.

This is a pomegranate.

And what I like about it is because it’s really juicy and sweet, and it’s crunchy. You can also, like, eat the seeds inside, not just the outside.
