Danco proposing new apartments New ‘Village’ plan includes open rentals Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – In the 1990s, the parking lot at Seventh and I streets was filled with Fords. Then Isaacson Motors closed, and the lot has been empty except for occasional heavy equipment staging, food trucks and parking for the businesses on the parcel’s south side. Now, Danco Group is proposing creation of 44 units of affordable housing in a four story building

on the site. The building is externally similar to another Danco development, the Plaza Point senior housing project one block north at Eighth and I streets. An open house on the new project was held at Plaza Point last week, facilitated by Redwood Community Action Agency (RCEA). The project appears to be unnamed, but is referred to as both the Isaacson project or the Seventh and I project. ISAACSON

ARCATA – The Village stident housing project, rejected by default by a deadlocked City Council last August, is back, and it’s different this time. The new Village plan, unveiled last week during an open house at City Hall, includes both student housing and apartments suitable for families available for rental on the open market.

Questions plague McK incorporation

The City Council is to decide tonight whether to proceed with consideration of the project. City staff considers the new plan a continuation of the previous project, with a new Environmental Impact Report not warranted by the changes. The Planning Commission, which was also tied on the project, won’t revisit it except to consider the abandonment of part of St. Louis Road to become part

McKINLEYVILLE – In many ways, the unincorporated community of McKinleyville is like a city, It has nearly 17,000 residents, thousands of homes and a bustling downtown business district. The town’s main thoroughfare, Central Avenue, is the busiest roadway in unincorporated Humboldt County. It has an airport and a business park. McKinleyville has almost everything a city does but an actual city government. Although debated for decades, cityhood has elluded McKinleyville, a situation that many blame on a state law that prevents new cities from taking tax revenues away from counties when they incorporate, unless counties agree to fork over revenues. The conventional wisdom over the years in McKinleyville is that the so-called “revenue neutrality” provision in state law would be a deal breaker and would make cityhood financially unfeasible. But what if the conventional wisdom is wrong?

HUMBOLDT – Last week was poised to be National School Choice Week in Humboldt County but a proposed Board of Supervisors proclamation on it failed after it was flagged for discussion. Supervisor Mike Wilson pulled the proclamation from the Jan. 22 board meeting agenda, citing the use of tax funding for private schools as a problematic aspect. The proclamation was sponsored by Board Chair Rex Bohn, who wrote in a staff report that “the Board (of Supervisors) would like to bring awareness of the public and nonpublic K-12 educational options to children in our community” and “educational variety helps prepare all students to be successful adults and encourages diversity in our community.” Similar language is encouraged by a National School Choice Week organizing group whose support of public funding for private school enrollment prevented Wilson from backing the proclamation. He highlighted the defi-

demand more services. If the numbers show the opposite, then perhaps the county would be motivated to shed McKinleyville and have it be a city. Madrone has also said that residents might be willing to pay more taxes if they can see a benefit from doing so. McK services A key question is what services does the town consider inadequate, and how much are residents willing to pay to improve them? The McKinleyville Community Services District provides some of the services typically provided by a city government, including sewer, water, streetlights, open space maintenance, and parks and recreation. It also owns the McKINLEYVILLE

Start with the numbers Newly elected Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone, who represents McKinleyville, was scheduled Tuesday, Feb. 5, after the Union went to press, to ask his fellow board members to approve a request to have county departments track all revenues and expenses in McKinleyville. At the Jan. 30 meeting of the McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee (McKMAC), Madrone explained that after a year passes, the community would have solid figures to use in deciding whether to pursue incorporation. Madrone has said that if the numbers show that McKinleyville is paying more than its fair share into county coffers, it could use that information to

John Webb said the promotion of School Choice Week is “not what it appears to be on the surface.” He told supervisors that the effort’s funders include “right wing and anti-union organizations” and “charter schools are a way for private schools to siphon off taxpayer funds and spend it in an unaccountable manner.” Blue Lake resident Katheryn Donahue warned supervisors that specific polices are being pushed under the “broad label” of School Choice. “Some of these policies include funding to schools that are unaccountable to state standards including religious academies and cyber-schools and they do this through vouchers and tuition tax credits,” she said. “These policies divert and deny money to fund our public schools.” Caroline Griffith of the North Coast People’s Alli-

ance read a statement from Eureka City School Board Trustee G. Mario Fernandez which describes National School Choice Week as “an affront to our Humboldt public schools” that “greatly undermines the necessity of and confidence in public education.” Supervisor Virginia Bass said she “did get some calls” about the proclamation and said school superintendents “have concerns with the voucher system, with the money and with lack of transparency.” Supervisor Steven Madrone said he enrolled his children in the Equinox private elementary school in Arcata in the 1980s but did it without the aid of public funding. “I do have great concerns over the erosion of funding for public schools, and I hope that we can continue to support public schools,” he continued. “So I have a hard time with this proclamation simply because I know what it stands for.” Facing resistance, Bohn explained that the proclamation was “passed on” to him as board chair by former Supervisor Ryan Sundberg, who was board chair at the end of his last term. Bohn said Humboldt has more than 3,000 children enrolled in private and charter schools and a “big segment” of school choice is home schooling. The U.S. Senate unanimously approved a similar proclamation in 2017, he continued. “But am I going to die on this sword – no,” said Bohn. He didn’t, and joined a vote to reject approval of the proclamation.

County grapples with ‘monumental’ sea rise issues Daniel Mints Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – Words like “huge” and “monumental” were used by county staff as the Planning Commission was briefed on the potential effects of sea level rise and the challenges of responding to it. Policy options for avoiding and dealing with the impacts were outlined as the commission held a fourth sea level rise planning workshop at its Jan. 24 meeting. Focusing on the Humboldt Bay area, Long Range Planner Lisa Shikany described various strategies to adapt to what is predicted to be three feet of sea level rise by 2070. That benchmark may be conservative and king tides could trigger that level of elevation by 2050. Key to the policymaking is defining a Sea Level Rise Zone (SLRZ) where impacts are expected to occur. The county will pick adaptation strategies to apply within the zone and some of them will be controversial. Policy options presented to the commission include restricting or prohibiting land uses and development that would require protection and limiting improvements to existing development to repair and maintenance. Shikany clarified that if restrictions are adopted, they wouldn’t necessarily be applied to all areas of the SLRZ. But there have already been public comments to the

commission and to planning staff expressing concern. “We are aware that this is a controversial area,” Shikany said. Establishing a SLRZ itself could trigger economic impacts. “So if you find yourself in one of these zones, you’re probably not going to get insurance on anything that you build and you’re probably not going to get a loan,” said Commissioner Peggy O’Neill. “You’re going to be restricted on any new development just by the mere fact that you’re in a hazard zone.” “It depends on what restrictions or allowances that is in the zone,” Shikany said, adding that policy options are varied. She said development within a SLRZ could be based on a sea level rise hazard analysis that considers shoreline conditions and other criteria. A challenging aspect is the timing of policy implementation. In previous workshops, commissioners were doubtful about applying restrictions based on forecasts. “We would not anticipate identifying a threshold based on a year,” Shikany said. “We would anticipate identifying a threshold based on a sea level elevation.” The county “will learn more as we move forward and as sea level rise elevations change,” she continued. “They may slow down, they may speed up, and so we will do our best to adapt with our zoning and

requirements.” If projections bear out, retreat from the shoreline may be necessary and if relocation of residences is directed, locations for siting diverted housing and infrastructure have to be identified. Assets that may have to be relocated will be identified in a “resiliency plan.” A key piece of infrastructure that’s vulnerable to sea level rise is U.S. Highway 101. The costs of response depend on which options are followed. Planning Director John Ford said the cost scenarios of retreating will be very different from those involved with protection. “Those are huge policy implications as we start to get into this,” he continued. Shikany described relocation of assets as “a pretty monumental challenge” that would effect a dramatic transformation. “I mean, we’re looking at thousands of feet of water line, sewer line, roads and entire communities, potentially,” she said. “This could actually significantly reshape our community and in some cases pose insurmountable hurdles.” Policy options based on the strategy of retreat may have “implications that are unacceptable to the community,” Shikany added. Public outreach has already been initiated and will ramp up further. The county has held workshops in the communities

buildings that house the town’s library and law enforcement office. The three main services provided by the county for McKinleyville that a city would normally handle are police, planning and road maintenance. Enter the McKMAC While the debate over cityhood goes on year after year, McKinleyville residents are pursuing a different vehicle to deal with current town issues and to help shape McKinleyville’s future – the McKMAC. Although the McKMAC is only an advisory committee, it has asserted itself and has become a powerful voice for the community. County department heads now routinely seek the committee’s advice on roadway projects and some big-picture planning issues. (The McKMAC’s charter doesn’t allow it to comment on individual projects and permits.) More than 35 people showed up at the Jan. 30 meeting, a large turnout by Mack Town standards. The

crowd was enthusiastic and participated in discussions on a wide-range of issues. Change of leadership One of the first issues that committee had to deal with Jan. 30 was the resignation of committee chair John Corbett, who is also a member of the MCSD Board of Directors. Corbett was named chair of the MCSD board on Jan. 2 after MCSD board member George Wheeler resigned for health reasons. Corbett said he didn’t think it would be appropriate to serve as both the chair of the MCSD and the McKMAC. The committee voted unanimously, with Stephanie Weldon absent, to appoint Kevin Dreyer as the new McKMAC chair and Kevin Jenkins as the vice chair. The committee also voted to continue to have Barbara Georgianna serve as

secretary. Zoning meeting John Ford, the director of Humboldt County Planning and Building, was in attendance at the meeting to give a presentation and receive input from the committee on land rezonings in the McKinleyville area. However, the agenda for the meeting simply said “General Plan Amendments – Humboldt County Planning Department.” Corbett advised the committee that the agenda was improperly worded and discussing the issue could be seen as a Brown Act violation. Instead, the McKMAC will hear a presentation on the rezoning at a special meeting on Wednesday, March 13 at 6 p.m. at Azalea Hall, 1620 Pickett Rd. in McKinleyville. Housing Element The County of Humboldt is in the process of updat-

ing its Housing Element, a document that the state requires. According to the county’s website, “The Housing Element identifies existing and projected housing needs and establishes goals, policies, standards and implementation measures for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing in the unincorporated areas of the county.” The state is requiring that the county update the Housing Element by Aug. 15. The McKMAC will hear a presentation and may comment on the document at its meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. at Azalea Hall, 1620 Pickett Rd., McKinleyville. More information on the Housing Element can be found at humboldtgov. org/2448/2019-Housing-Element.

around Humboldt Bay and will hold another in the bay area next month. The commission’s workshopping is still in an early phase and will progress toward decision-making on policy options. Sidewalk stays Also at the meeting, a final map subdivision for McKinleyville’s Airport Business Park was re-approved and extended – with a new sidewalk requirement intact. Sidewalks were an issue because the applicant, Moser Properties, requested that an added requirement to construct sidewalks on both sides of one of the subdivision’s access roads, Boeing Avenue, be waived and be limited to only one side of the road. Commissioner Brian Mitchell didn’t support the request. “McKinleyville’s really gotten short-changed when it comes to public improvements such as sidewalks,” he said. “The development has been so piecemeal, there’s really a health and safety component of this.” The request was based on the site’s use as a business park, which is less pedestrian-oriented than a residential neighborhood. But Mitchell said that “overall, I think we need to do a better job planning for multi-modal transportation.” Commissioners approved the new requirement with the map extension, which divides a remainder parcel from an original subdivision into 12 commercial lots.

McK CSD picking out new boardmember Mad RiveR Union

McKINLEYVILLE – There are nine applicants vying for a single open seat on the McKinleyville Community Services District Board of Directors. All of the applicants are McKinleyville residents and all of them want the seat which was vacated in December by George Wheeler, who resigned because he’s battling cancer. The board will pick his replacement at its meeting today, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. at Azalea Hall, 1620 Pickett Rd., McKinleyville. The applicants are Frank Bacik, Rita Carole, Bonnie Oliver, David Enos, Shel Barsanti, Erik Rydberg, Chelsey Rios, Maya Conrad and James Vance. According to a memo written by MCSD Manager Greg Orsini, the board must pick a replacement at the meeting to meet the legal deadline for making appointments. The applicant selected would be sworn in at the MCSD March 6 meeting. Directors are paid $125 for each regular board meeting.

Meth briefly takes flight over north Arcata Humboldt County drug task ForCe

ARCATA – On Thursday, Jan. 31 at approximately 7:30 p.m., special agents with the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, with the assistance of a narcotic detection K9 from the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office, served a search warrant during a traffic stop on Highway 299 near the Giuntoli Lane exit, Arcata. Through their investigation agents suspected that Juan MenJuan Mendoza doza Valdovinos, Valdovinos a previously deported felon from Michocan, Mexico, was selling large amounts of methamphetamine to Humboldt County communities. Agents secured a search warrant for his vehicles and residence. As agents conducted their traffic stop, Valdovinos tossed a paper bag out the passenger side window. Val-

dovinos was detained and the paper bag was located. Inside the bag, agents located over one-half pound of suspected methamphetamine packaged for sale. Valdovinos was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked on the following charges: • H&S 11378, H&S 11379 – possession and transportation of controlled substances • PC 135 – attempt to destroy/conceal evidence. • VC 12500 – driving unlicensed Agents then proceeded to Valdovinos’ residence, located in the 3000 block of Ingley Street, Eureka, where a search warrant was served. Agents located an additional 22 ounces of suspected methamphetamine which was buried on the property. Nearly $6,000 in U.S. currency, which is believed to be proceeds from narcotics sales, was also seized and will be held pending asset forfeiture

arCata Fire ProteCtion distriCt

McKINLEYVILLE – On Thirsday, Jan. 31 at 11:52 a.m., Arcata Fire District responded to a residential structure fire at 1745 Heartwood Dr., McKinleyville. Initial 911 calls from a neighbor reported light smoke from the eaves of the two story house. Units first arriving at scene reported increasing smoke from the eaves, smoke stains on the windows and declared a working offensive fire. In high heat and densely smoky conditions crews used a thermal imaging camera (TIC) to enter the residence and isolate the fire to the kitchen and inside an interior wall spreading to the second floor. Residents were reported to be away from the home by neighbors.The fire was controlled within 15 minutes with overhaul and investigation lasting over two hours. Initial investigation indicates the fire’s area of origin is in the kitchen near the dishwasher. Significant fire damage occurred in the kitchen with heavy heat and smoke throughout the first and second floors. Arcata Fire District responded three engines, one Battalion Chief, the Fire Chief and the Volunteer Logistics unit for 14 personnel. Other agencies on scene were Humboldt County Sheriff’s office, CalFire and the Humboldt Bay Fire. The Samoa Peninsula Fire District provided district coverage while Arcata units were committed to the fire. Damage to the structure and contents is estimated at $189,000. Arcata Firefighters were able to present a SAVE card to the victims of this fire. SAVE is a program of the California Fire Foundation that provides immediate short-term relief via a $100 gift card to victims of fire or other natural disaster. Arcata Fire District reminds everyone that having a working smoke alarm in your home can make the difference when seconds matter.

Opinio piniOnews o Seems like we aren’t hearing the whole story, so what’s going on here? KHSU lockout a major unsolved mystery “Arcata is not safe for the public after 10 p.m.” This is not an attribution that can be substantiated; yet, this is the message delivered by the administration of Humboldt State (HSU). What? The reason given for the lockout of the studio of our community radio station (after 10 p.m. till the morning) is because people are at risk after 10 p.m., specifically along L.K. Wood Boulevard, near Sunset Avenue, Arcata. I had been wondering why none of my favorite deejays EVER answer the phone from 10 p.m. to midnight -- it turns out they are not there! Shocking. Everyone should inquire with the administration as to what data it has refered to in making this assessment. (For many years, I had music shows from midnight to 3 a.m., 10 p.m. to midnight, and in the afternoon. I never felt unsafe.) So, what is up? Do HSU recruiters tell prospective students that this campus and city are more dangerous than L.A., Chico, San Jose, S.F., Sacramento, Santa Cruz? Please just make a couple of inquiries. Why is HSU doing this, really? Don’t bother asking the risk manager about it, the policy did not come from that office. I won’t even start on the very real issue of no personnel being present in the studio in the event of a public-safety situation after an earthquake, a roadway issue, fire, etc. Who is handcuffing station personnel and locking the doors on our communuty resource? Honestly, I am scratching my head trying to fathom this policy. What was the true inception of this type of thinking? Eugene Biggins Indianola

v LETTERS Flipper may again become America’s hero

Back in the 1960s, if you heard the word “flipper” you most likely thought of the action TV show that featured a dolphin with the same name. But these days, because of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, this word has acquired a different interpretation altogether. A number of individuals involved with President Trump or his 2016 campaign have been charged by Mueller including Trump’s personal fixer, Attorney Michael Cohen and Trump’s long-time friend and political consultant, Roger Stone. In particular, concerning these two, the press is focused on the questions will they “flip” on the president, and if so, should he be worried? So what does it mean to flip? If Cohen and Stone tell the truth, then it can only be construed as flipping by someone who has been lying all along a nd is now being contradicted by their testimony. Certainly Trump could qualify to be a candidate for this, and if he is contradicted, he indeed would have a basis for worry. On the other hand, if Trump and his campaign have been truthful in claiming they have done nothing to encourage Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election (i.e., commit collusion), then this testimony should instead help to exonerate them. Returning to the 1960s, Flipper was always everyone’s hero. And today, once we find out where the truth lies, we should know if Cohen and Stone qualify as flippers and whose heroes they might turn out to be. Sherman Schapiro Blue Lake

Our ‘Come to Jesus’ moment

In case you missed it, something special happened locally around this years Women’s March: authentic dialog around white privilege. As a white male, I choose to be careful commenting about the women’s movement and the effects of white privilege on people of color. As a white male, it would be easier to say nothing. I can’t know what it’s like to belong to either group and my ancestors structured this culture to benefit me as a white male. Though I am not “religious” now, I was taught about Jesus as a child and like Jesus, I want peace for all humankind. So I accept my responsibility to reflect on how white privilege has benefited me and I am trying to understand what life is like here locally for non-white people. I challenge my fellow white men to do the same. I also extend this challenge to white women locally because white privilege transcends gender lines and because, as I read the words of women upset by the women’s march cancellation and subsequent boycott, I can see that reflection is

needed. The self declared “new management” for the local 2019 Women’s March, who could not understand the reasons that compelled to original organizers to hit the pause button, stated in their ad in the North Coast Journal: “what do we want? Intersectional feminism. Why is that so hard?” That is a great question! It gets back to the idea of Jesus’s pure love and desire for peace. It’s easy for us white people to wrap ourselves up in the comfortable idea that we just want peace for everyone. Why can’t we all just get along? Why all the divisiveness? After all, we all want the same thing, right? Let’s check ourselves there. The comfortable space we enjoy all year, by virtue of our white privilege, affords us these luxurious ideas. It’s disrespectful to expect our brothers and sisters of color to come out and “intersect” during our annual show of force. Years of systematic oppression mean that authentic intersectional experiences are going to be the hard won result of humble, courageous, and sustained engagement with the communities experiencing that oppression. For my part, I seek to take responsibility for my ancestors choices so I can learn to be a better ancestor myself. I hope others who benefit from white privilege will do the same. Dave Carter Eureka

Features carried over from the previous proposal include property tax and fire fee assurance, as it is a private development; sidewalk infill in Todd Court and on Eye Street; and trail access. As proposed, the revised project features 115 units of student housing with 423 total beds, located on the eastern side of the 11.2 acre Craftsmans Mall property, and 125 open-market apartments on the west side. Parking has been increased from 409 to 449 spaces. The building design is the most conservative of the previously reviewed options, a relatively plain “farmhouse” style. Developer David Moon of Coleraine Capital Group said at last week’s open house that the housing mix was diversified in response to the City Council’s concerns. “Now I’m proud to say it’s a village,” Moon said. Initial concerns voiced by attendees included the project’s potential population, which is more than the previous 602 residents but smaller than the initial Village proposal of 800 students. Also mentioned were the expanded parking capacity, the possibility that too many amenities would keep student residents from leaving the site, neighborhood compatibility, plus traffic, safety, inclusivity and the size of the student housing buildings. “Maybe it should be all student housing,” suggested one attendee. Moon declined to put a cost on the overall project. He said a contractor would be hired to build it, and that company would likely hire local subcontractors. The Arcata Citizens for Responsible Housing group which opposed the previous versions of the Village had not announced any formal stance on the project as of Monday morning. The council’s options, as recommended in a staff report, include review of the project and public comments, directing staff to finalize planning documents and schedule hearings, to adopt a resolution vacating part of St. Louis Road, or to drop the matter entirely. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in Council Chamber, 736 F St.

The internal composition of the 44-unit building includes 16 one-bedroom apartments, 17 two-bedrooms and 11 three-bedrooms. Onsite amenities would include a toddler playground, skate park, “sitting plaza,” plus a community room and kitchen. Danco is applying for an Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant to fund a range of transportation and other improvements in the area. These could include better sidewalks, pocket parks, bike racks, bulbouts, street trees, car share and bike share programs, electric vehicle charging, plus sewer, water, stormwater and utility upgrades. Danco Asset Manager McKenzie Dibble said that if the grant doesn’t come through, the project will still proceed, though not as quickly. Fifteen parking spaces are planned, and that posed a concern to some. One attendee predicted that residents will have to park on the streets, and said the neighborhood is already “maxed out” with vehicles. Community Development Director David Loya said the public will have the opportunity to suggest modifications to the project during the city’s design review process. The project is being processed as exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with review streamlined for affordable housing. It will have to be considered by Arcata’s Planning Commission, since the parcel on which it is sited will have to be separated from the commercially zoned south side. Being in the Coastal Zone, it will also have to gain approval from the Coastal Commission. The historically designated buildings on the south side would remain, but two residences on the west side would be demolished to make room for the project.

HUMBOLDT – The Redwood Region Economic Development Commission (RREDC) and the Humboldt County Department of Aviation have announced that United Airlines will add a second departure to LAX starting May 29. United Airlines had previously announced that nonstop service from Humboldt County (ACV) to Denver International Airport (DEN) will start June 7. With the addition of the second LAX flight, the summer schedule will include six departures per day, one to Denver, two to Los Angeles, and three to San Francisco. Flights to and from Los Angeles have been very popular from the very start of the service. RREDC and the county Department of Aviation extend their gratitude to the flying public for their enthusiastic support of the service. flyhumboldt.org

Humboldt State restoring its nursing program mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT STATE – Humboldt State University has begun a national search for a director to lead an RN-to-BSN nursing program, which could enroll its first students as soon as Fall 2020. The director is a faculty position, with broad responsibility for overseeing continued development of the program, raising the necessary private funding, working with partners in the community, recruiting faculty, and launching the program. A master’s degree is required and preference will be given to those who have earned a doctorate or equivalent in Nursing or related field. The new program is designed to allow registered nurses who already have an associate’s degree to complete their bachelor’s degree in nursing locally. The program’s focus is on particular needs of the North Coast: preparing nurse leaders who understand health disparities, rural needs, and cultural humility, and who can advocate for the physical and psychosocial health of the region’s communities. In developing the program, HSU has been working closely with College of the Redwoods as well as local healthcare leaders, who say it is one of their top priorities. The hope is that it will help address a local nursing shortage while also enhancing the quality of local healthcare. The program will be housed within HSU’s Department of Kinesiology and Recreation Administration. It is being funded initially by an anonymous donor. An initial priority of the new director will be assisting efforts to raise private funds. The nursing program will be dependent on significant financial support, and HSU is currently seeking charitable commitments to create a $10 million endowment. A press conference with further details on the new program is expected within a few weeks.

Scene Almost Valentine’s Day

ave you noticed how lately holidays seem to stretch their borders? While it’s hard to celebrate Groundhog Day all month (unless you’re Bill Murray), in February, we can’t wait for Valentine’s Day to roll around. Thus we have Inked Hearts taking over the Blue Lake Casino the weekend before V-Day (Feb. 9 & 10) with music shows <3 tattoo fans will presumably like. The Friday night show features Sublime with Rome, which is not exactly “Sublime,” and not really a Sublime tribute since the original band’s bassist, Eric Wilson, is still part of the current trio. There was a complicated lawsuit involved with the late band leader Bradley Nowell’s family holding tight to rights to the Sublime name ever since Bradley died in 1996. Initially, Eric and drummer Bud Gaugh marshaled on, calling themselves the Long Beach All-Stars. Some time in 2009 (yes, 10 years ago) guitarist Rome Ramirez joined up and they used that potent name (Sublime) again and lawyers got involved. The compromise: It’s OK to play the old songs, but they must add “with Rome” in all promotion. Whatever. Bradley didn’t live to see What I Got, become a No. 1 hit, but he lives on when they play it. Safety Orange, another “beach/ rock/reggae” trio from Ocean Beach opens the show.

There’s a bit of irony in that the gig where they first returned to that sublime moniker was at a multi-band bash called "Cypress Hill's Smokeout Festival.” Who is playing at Inked Hearts Saturday night? That’s right, Cypress Hill. Remember Insane in the Brain? Rappers B-Real and Sen Dog have been touring since, with turntablist DJ Muggs back after a break, plus Bobo Correa on percussion since ’93. Still “Insane in the membrane, insane in the brain” after all these years. Friday, Feb. 8 at the Miniplex (in the Goat) Austin-based alt. power trio Grivo mashes together doom metal and shoegaze (if that’s possible). Local openers are Ensemble Economique (starring Jacob Sweden) and the always spacey CV, with Robert Tripp, Tavan Anderson “and extended family.” Monday, Feb 11, again at the Miniplex, catch the psychedelic cumbia-punk of Tropa Magica, formerly known as Thee Commons. Brothers David and Rene Pacheco throw together accordion and guitars with wild abandon. (There’s no opener listed, but I’d be surprised if local Latin dance faves Sonido Pachanguero isn’t at least in the house.) This coming weekend (Saturday, Feb. 9, to be more exact) prepare for a comedy collision of sorts. We’ll start with the Mr. Humboldt Pageant #6 returning to Arcata Theater Lounge for another “spoof male pageant.” (Really? They’re still doing that in this post-#metoo era?)

Valentine's Day Cupid Crunch Valentine's Day is a great time to create a tasty treat for your sweetie. It's so much nicer than buying some ugly hair ornament they will never wear. One awesome thing about holidays is they provide an excuse for gluttony which I, for one, welcome with unbridled enthusiasm, If I sit down and eat a box of chocolates on a Thursday in January it's just depraved and depressing, but on February 14th it's feeling loved and appreciating the good things in life. This is particularly true if your loved one/child/ pal has made said treats. If you are the creator, rather than receiver, the pluses include licking utensils, saving money, and if you make the confection below, using zero packaging. Don't forget shopping locally! You can probably get the equivalent products at most natural food stores, but I found Eureka Natural Foods in McKiinleyville had just what I wanted. Show your love for your honey and love for your planet, with this eco-friendly confection.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup each: dried strawberries, dried cranberries, dried cherries, almonds with salt 1 cup granola, your choice 1 cup pretzels 8 cups either white chocolate bits or chocolate chips Note: you could also do both white and dark and swirl. Prepare your dry ingredients (everything not chocolate): Break up the pretzels into bite-size bits, coarsely chop the almonds. Combine all dry ingredients except granola; set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly distribute the granola over the paper. Heat a few inches of water to simmer in a double boiler, and in the top pot over the hot water, slowly melt your choc. You could also microwave it, I haven't ever done it, but I think if you take it out and stir it every 20 seconds or so that should work. Pour melted chocolate over granola. Use a spatula to spread and evenly distribute chocolate to make a roughly even layer. While chocolate is still warm, scatter all remaining ingredients evenly over chocolate; use your spatula to press them in slightly. Refrigerate for at least an hour, turn over and peel off parchment. Break into eating size pieces. Box, bow, and give to loved one!

ARTS! ARCATA

Mosiac show in memory of Skye Marley Goldman Special to the Union

ARCATA – The mosaic art of Laurel Skye will be featured in “Bits and Pieces,” an art show at The Sanctuary, 1301 J St. in Arcata through March 31. There are mosaic bottles, shoes, mirrors, wall hangings, boxes and more. There will be a one-day clothing sale in March for Arts! Arcata during the show. Estate items for sale that day include clothing, accessories and boots. The mosaic show captures the essence of the artist herself and how she lived. Skye was born in Chicago in 1946 and has lived in Hollywood, New York City and Montreal before finding herself in Humboldt County. Before discovering mosaics, she was a musician, made jewelry and leather belts and opened her own restaurant in Berkeley. There she survived a devastating house fire which burned most of her body and suffered the loss of a child. Though she had more often than not lived with pain and suffering, Skye always created art and music. Skye started mosaics around 2000, with a toaster Skye mosaicked for a contest at Los Bagels, at the heels of an emotional divorce and losing her

MOSAIC MASTER, Laurel Skye, right, with her daughter Marley Goldman. Submitted photo mother whom she homecared for. The business took off and with the years to come, after the age of 50, Laurel Skye made a name for herself in Arcata, internationally and in the mosaic community. She gave back to the local community and created several public works of art, including, but not limited to, the trash cans on the Arcata Plaza, the planter boxes at Los Bagels, the fence outside Wildwood Music and mural for the Seascape Restaurant in Trinidad. Working with her daughter, Marley, Laurel ran her business, Laurel Skye Designs, selling mosaics and mosaic supplies, published Mosaic Renaissance, a mosaic instructional book and she taught

classes at her workshop in Arcata as well as around the US and internationally and was an active member of The Society of American Mosaic Artists. As a teacher and artist, she inspired and touched many of her students' lives as well as fellow mosaic artist friends. Only in her last few years of life did Skye slow down as an artist and entrepreneur as medical issues claimed a stronger hold on her life, including lung cancer, which lead to her passing on July 22, 2018. Laurel Skye’s home environment was a work of art in itself, magical, full of mosaics and museum-like. I can only hope, that with this show, we can recreate the mosaic wonder that Laurel Skye was.

Ghost town of Falk topic at annual Historical Society Luncheon Humboldt County HistoriCal soCiety

EUREKA – Julie Clark, Headwaters Forest Reserve ranger for the Bureau of Land Management, with special guest Jon Humboldt Gates, will be the featured speaker at the Humboldt County Historical Society’s CROSSWORD SOLUTION

See crossword on page A3

58th Annual Luncheon on Sunday, Feb. 17 at the Sequoia Conference Center, 901 Myrtle Ave., Eureka (behind Burre Center). Everyone is invited to attend. Clark will talk about her new book, Falk: Company Lumber Town of the American West, accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation of historical images of the town and its residents, men at work in the woods, and many other scenes. Jon Humboldt Gates, author of Falk’s Claim: The Life and Death of a Redwood Lumber Town, will also be present to share his knowledge about the onetime lumber town on the

Elk River. From 1884 to 1937, the company mill and lumber town of Falk thrived in what is now the Headwaters Forest Reserve. The late 1800s was a transitional time in logging history, and founding partner Noah Falk capitalized on the inexpensive price of land, labor, and logging technologies, such as the band saw and the Dolbeer steam donkey. As the industrial revolution unfolded, changes in the local and immigrant populations created an intricate community of 400 people. For more than 50 years, Falk thrived as a self-suffi-

cient community with orchards and gardens, and decorative trees and plants, such as yew trees, holly, roses, and ivy surrounding its houses, then became a ghost town during the Great Depression. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. A full-service banquet will be served, with vegan option available, plus a Dutch raffle and a silent auction. Tickets are $50. Reservations for the luncheon will be accepted through Friday, Feb. 8. For more information, or to make a reservation, call the Humboldt County Historical Society at (707) 445-4342.

The film, which was shown at the famed Egyptian Theater in Park City on Jan. 27, is the directorial debut for Heyne, who lived in Trinidad. Humboldt County Film Commissioner Cassandra Hesseltine caught the premiere of Mope while attending the film festival in Utah. “Attending the premiere of a Humboldt filmmaker’s project was one of the highlights of Sundance this year. I’m excited to see what the future holds for Lucas in the film industry.” The drama, directed and co-written by Heyne, is based on the true story of a murder in 2010 at a San Fernando Valley porn production company. That’s where Stephen Clancy Hill, a “mope” (slang for a wannabe porn star), went on a rampage with a sword, eventually killing fellow mope and friend, Herbert Wong, who tried to intervene when Hill was attacking two others. Hill died in a standoff with police five days later. Originally from Humboldt County, Heyne attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts. He now lives in Los Angeles, where he has directed music videos for Switchfoot, Fu Manchu, Lil’ Romeo, and Spose. Heyne has also directed advertisements for Burger King and Fox Sports. His current project is a biopic of shock rocker Gigi Allin. Mope was co-written with Zack Newkirk and produced by Parkside Pictures in association with Saxton Cinema and Uncooperative Pictures.

Over at the Arcata Playhouse that same night, Tourettes Without Regrets: the Humboldt Edition! mixes comedy with side show acts, burlesque, champion freestyle battle rappers (with a $100 cash prize for a battle winner), also an open poetry slam (also with a $ prize), all of this under the leadership of former Arcatan slam poet/Tourette syndrome survivor Jamie DeWolf, who is now based in the Bay area (when he’s not hanging at Shea’s place). On Friday, Feb. 8 at Humbrews, New York City’s The Rad Trads, described as “the greatest band you’ve never heard of,” with P.R. mentioning, “walls of horns and psychedelic guitars that meld with lush acoustic arrangements…” Then at Humbrews on Wednesday, Feb. 13, the Scott Pemberton Band from

PDX offers “infectious and inventive dance music. Funky, surfy, rock propelled by Scott’s virtuosic guitar playing.” (Yes, it’s another jamband.) The next night, Feb. 14, it’s a “Lovers Rock Valentines Special” with reggae legends Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare with The Taxi Gang, plus UK lovers rock legend Bitty McLean on vocals. This is the real deal. DJ Ras Azad and One Wise Sound kick things off. V-D-Day will be over Saturday, Feb. 16, but Humbrews’ “Valentine’s Dance Party” continues with locals Object Heavy and Dan and The Americans promising some love songs etc. That same Saturday (Feb 16) The Jam has a semi-love inspired post-Val show with Lovebush, the latest Fela/James Brown inspired funk band led by guitarist Greg Camphuis.

There’s more music later as the 91st Annual Academy Awards fill the big screen. “Pesky commercials will be replaced with local Film-Friendly” stuff and cinematic jazz by RLA Trio. Getting back to Valentine’s Day, on the real holiday at The Basement, Tim Randles leads RLA Trio, with Mike LaBolle on drums and Ken Lawrence on electric bass. You might think, the name doesn’t quite make sense, well the trio once included Bobby Amirkhanian on bass, but he sailed away to work on cruise ships. They stuck with old initial name explaining LA in kind of short for Lawrence, but I think they should come up with a real name. The Basement is a relatively new night-

On Friday, Feb. 15, it’s the Julie Froblom Trio (Julie on sax), then on Saturday, Feb. 16, they have Claire Bent, with vocalist Claire showing off her jazzier side (without Citizen Funk). Friday, Feb. 22, it’s the Tavola Quartet, who describe themselves as “old souls.” Saturday, Feb. 23, they shift gears a bit with multi-instrumentalist Seabury Gould and Mark Jenny, who plays, well I’m not sure what, since Seabury is a very eclectic guy bouncing from Indian kirtan to Celtic jigs and occasionally jazz tunes. Ending the month of February on Thursday, the 28th, Claire Bent returns to the Basement. We’ll leave it at that since I’ve already exceeded my 1000 word limit. See you in March…

ZERO WASTE PRESIDENT Sarai Lucarelli was elected President of Zero Waste Humboldt’s board of directors earlier this month. She has served on the board since 2017, and is coordinating the organization’s Refill Not Landfill project to reduce the number of single use plastic water bottles in the local waste stream. This year, she will be the point person for the ZWH dinner to recognize Humboldt’s “Zero Heroes” who have achieved measurable success and are models for reducing waste in business, government, and the nonprofit sector. Zero Waste Humboldt invites individuals who are interested in waste reduction, to serve on the Zero Waste Humboldt board, and to email contact@zerowastehumboldt.org to learn more. Lucarelli earned a BA in psychology Sarai and an MA in sociology with dual environmental and teaching foci Lucarelli from Humboldt State University. For her masters thesis, Lucarelli evaluated waste generated by the HSU campus and discovered that more than 90 percent of the waste materials landfilled were actually recyclable or compostable. A subsequent campus survey found general confusion about materials’ recyclability, compostability,and disposal requirements. IN MEMORY OF SUSAN & CARL At the January meeting of the Bayside Community Hall board of directors, Gregg Chatfield (Carl Chatfield’s son) presented to the Hall a $10,312 contribution in memory of Susan Anderson and Carl Chatfield.

It’s nesting season. This is not the time to trim trees City of arCata

ARCATA – The City of Arcata’s Environmental Services Department would like to remind the community that early bird nesting season began on Feb. 1. The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it illegal to kill or transport any migratory bird or the parts, nests or eggs of such a bird except under the terms of a valid federal permit. Since Humboldt Bay and its surrounding areas are home to a wide variety of bird species, it is important that community members check for active nests before trimming or removing vegetation during nesting season. Contractors are advised to have a qualified biologist conduct nesting bird surveys prior to beginning any project that requires vegetation removal, and the Environmental Services Department has some helpful guidelines for the community to follow below. • Early bird nesting season is from Friday, Feb. 1 to Monday, April 15. At this time, hummingbirds and birds of prey including hawks, owls, kites, eagles, vultures and falcons begin to nest. Major disturbances to vegetation, especially trees, should be avoided unless there is a thorough check for these nesting birds prior to beginning work. Weeding and mowing lawns are acceptable activities during this time • Primary nesting season for most birds will take place from Monday, April 15 until

Saturday, Aug. 31. Disturbances to vegetation should be avoided during this time unless a thorough check for nesting birds is completed prior to beginning work. Weeding and mowing lawns are still acceptable activities during this time. • Sunday, Sept. 1 through Friday, Jan. 31, 2020, is the best time to plan for tree removal, invasive plant species management, mowing and brush clearing. Please note that a tree removal permit may be required for trees of 16 inches or more in diameter at chest height. • To detect bird nests, watch bird behavior. If a bird is carrying nest material or food to the same place in a patch of vegetation more than once, there is likely a nest in the area. Also, look for concentrations of white droppings on the ground, then check the trees or vegetation above the droppings for a nest. Actual nest structures are typically well-concealed and may not be seen if they are located in dense vegetation. • If a bird is observed repeatedly visiting a nest or suspected nest site, building or sitting on a nest, it is considered “active” with eggs or nestlings. If an active nest is found prior to work, avoid work in the area until the young have fledged. A 50-foot no-work buffer should be applied for song birds and a 500-foot no-work buffer should be applied for raptors. For more information, call the Environmental Services Department at (707) 8228184 or visit cityorarcata.org.

Global warming has influenced life on Earth long before there were humans. The dinosaurs got their start, became dominant, and met their end (except for the birds) under the pressures caused partly by global warming.

How much trouble can we be in? How big is our anticipated warming, compared to the past? A lot of information is still missing, but what is known is a profound story. This free public lecture, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center, is sponsored by FOAM. Seating is limited to the first 50 who arrive at the event. For more information, call (707) 826-2359. CONSERVATION MEETING Redwood Region Audubon Society will hold its monthly Conservation Meeting on Thursday, Feb. 14, at noon at Rita’s Margaritas and Mexican Grill, 1111 Fifth St., Eureka. 707-445-8311.

emura

atherine Kiyoko Uemura passed away suddenly at St. Joseph Hospital from complications stemming from a congenital heart defect. She bravely underwent multiple heart surgeries in her life. We were blessed with her warmth, adventurous nature and the occasional bouts of rascally temperament. She was a lifelong resident of Arcata. She attended the City of Arcata Preschool, St. Mary’s Elementary School, Arcata High School, and the College of the Redwoods, where she earned two A.A. degrees in Liberal Arts: Humanities and Communications in 2009. Katie, as she was known, was a lifelong member of St. Mary’s Church. She was also a longtime member of the Messiah School of the Arts Singing Group and enjoyed performing at their concerts. Until her illness forced her to take medical leave, she enjoyed working and spending time with her friends at Murphy’s Markets in Sunny Brae and Glendale for 16 years in the deli and meat departments. Katie had a very adventurous spirit. She would regularly combine that spirit with her love of church and helping people. She went on a pilgrimage to see Pope Francis in

Poland as part of the World Catholic Youth Celebration in 2016. Katie also took part in the Rotary Club Rotoplast, where physicians engage in an outreach trip to help medically needy people in Bangladesh in 2017. Her duties included photography which was one of her hobbies, and trip documen-

tation. She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Ike Uemura and her beloved grandmother, Grace Landry. Some of her fondest memories were with Grace enjoying the holiday festivities and food. She is survived by her grandfather Clarence J. Landry, grandmother Hisako Uemura, parents Alicia and Yoshi , her sweetheart Josh Campbell, her sisters Laurie Lynch ( PJ ), Margaret Sataua (Robert), Emilie Uemura (Matt Nelson), Elizabeth Uemura (Nick Britchta), niece Josephine Lynch, nephew Akai Sataua and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. She especially enjoyed time interacting and loving her niece and nephew Josephine and Akai. Visitation was at Paul’s Chapel in Arcata, Monday Feb. 4, with a Rosary afterward. Catholic Mass was at St. Mary’s Church in Arcata Feb. 5, with Committal that followed at St. Mary’s Cemetery and a reception at St. Mary’s Leavey Hall. Memorial donations may be made in Katie’s name to charities devoted to helping infants, children and youth. The family would like to thank Dr. Ted

Humphry, Dr. John Sullivan, Alice Flocchini R.N., Dr. Emily Lambert, Dr. Chris Cody, Dr. Jeff Corral- Ribordy, Dr. Mark Ellis, The General Hospital Childbirth Nursing Staff of January 1988; Dr. Paul Stanger of UCSF Hospital Parnassus, and their support staff for the cardiac and well child care Katie received for the first eighteen years of her life. We thank Dr. Ian Harris of the UCSF Cardiovascular care and Prevention Center. We are extremely grateful to David Medina P.A., Rodney Swenson D.O. and Bryon Dorgan D.O., for their care and advocating for Katie in the last three weeks of her life. Katie wanted to let the Telemetry staff know that they were very nice and taking good care of her. We thank the St. Joseph E.R. staff, the Rapid Response team and the Code team, especially Dr. Buntin, for their efforts and care of Katie in her last hours. We thank the Rev. David Groe, Father Andrew Pacheco, and the support of St. Mary’s Parish for being with us and helping us in this sad time. We extend a special thank you to Paul’s Chapel in Arcata.

hew, it’s b e e n a busy week for Redwood Pals and the County Shelter! So many dogs! We were able to lighten the load a little by transferring three cattle-type dogs to a Border Collie rescue and five Rottweillers (whose owner had died) to a Rottie rescue. Redwood Pals pulled three of our rescue dogs out to foster homes where they are doing very well. The shelter ended the week with some good adoptions also so at least there are a few empty kennels as I write this. One new fellow to the Adoptable section of dogs is this little charmer, Rocket. Rocket is a little under a year old and appears to be some sort of cattle dog mix. He is on the small side, around 35 pounds. Rocket loves attention and treats and is a quick learner. He’s a happy little guy that loves to play ball in the yard or snuggle up for kisses. The volunteers say he is good on the leash and easy to walk. His only defiance came when it was time to go back to his kennel. He went belly up in the hall and ended up being carried back in to his spot! Before he joined the Adoptable dogs, this little
