McKMAC tackles housing Jack Durham Mad RiveR Union

McKINLEYVILLE – McKinleyville’s housing needs, park and infrastructure improvements, and changes in land-use zoning will be discussed at upcoming meetings, the first to be held tonight, Feb. 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Azalea Hall, 1620 Pickett Rd., McKinleyville. Housing Element The McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee (McKMAC) will gather tonight to hear a presentation on the Humboldt County 2019 Housing Element. The county advisory committee will provide time for public comment and may take positions on the draft document. The Housing Element, last updated in 2014, is a state-mandated plan which identifies existing and projected housing needs and includes goals and implementation measures. State law requires that the Housing Element be updated by August of this year. From now through 2027, the draft plan projects that the county will need 3,390 additional housing units throughout the county as a whole. Of those, 829 would be for people with very low incomes, 532 for people with low incomes, 613 for people with moderate incomes and 1,416 for people with above moderate incomes. A different agency, the Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG), decided in December how to divide those housing units up between Humboldt’s cities and the unincorporated Humboldt County. Eureka was allocated 952 McKINLEYVILLE

Canton’s favorite son heading home Statue friends, foes agree: McKinley’s Ohio home town is best relocation site Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – The Arcata City Council Wednesday night, Feb. 20 certified the EIR for the McKinley statue removal project. The council also directed city staff to work with Canton, Ohio to relocate the statue there. Canton

was where young William McKinley initially practiced law. The City of Canton has organized a coalition of local public and private institutions to fund the government-to-government transfer, restore the statue and create a permanent site for sculptor Haig Patigian’s 1906 work.

Canton Mayor Thomas Bernabei promised it would be displayed “in a manner befitting the beautiful statue.” Testimony from the public was mostly against keeping the statue, or any traces of what was described as a symbol of imperialism and genocide, in Arcata or in

Worsening climate change poses challenges North Coast heat, floods, wildfires to intensify Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – Escalating temperature increases, more severe flooding and higher risk of wildfires are predicted for the North Coast region in a newly-released climate change assessment. Coordinated by several state agencies, the fourth in a series of

climate change reports includes numerous regional segments. The North Coast region’s assessment was considered by Humboldt County’s Board of Supervisors at its Feb. 19 meeting and forecasts changes that will trigger habitat loss, reduced agricultural productivity and increased threats of flooding, wildfires, heat waves and disease.

Sponsored by Supervisor Mike Wilson, the presentation summarized the report’s main findings. Ted Grantham, the report’s author, is a Eureka High School graduate and a University of California Berkeley cooperative extension specialist. He told supervisors that although the region’s residents “continue to benefit from the coastal influence,” overall annuCLIMATE

On a motion by Councilmember Paul Pitino, the council unanimously approved relocation of the statue to CanPresident ton. William City ManMcKinley ager Karen (statue) Diemer asked the public for a couple of weeks to make arrangements. She said city workers will be out examining the statue in days to come, with removal plans to be formed up and reported back to the council. Pitino wanted a date certain to set a takedown ceremony, but Councilmember Sofia Pereira and Mayor Brett Watson agreed that the project must be approached with safety over haste. Once undertaken though, according to the project’s environmental document: “The City Engineer estimates that the removal of the statue, including staging and transportation to the storage facility, will take less than two business days (approximately 16 hours).” The council’s historic initial decision to remove the statue was taken 364 days previous. The decision only ratcheted up the heat surrounding the controversial statue, the vote having been taken in an environment hostile to those who wished to retain the statue. Statue backers contended that the decision had been made with their point of view having been shouted down by the obverwhelmingly anti-statue crowd at STATUE

Plaza Improvement Task Force reaching out Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – Arcata’s Plaza Improvement Task Force is not yet at the point of acting on specific Plaza issues, with one major exception. The group, which meets monthly and has $150,000 with which to fund whatever improvements it eventually settles on, is for now firming up the processes by which it will identify needed improvements. Last week, the task force took reports from members on their outreach. They’re striving – with mixed success – to gain participation from the broadest possible gamut of Arcata stakeholders in their Plaza Improvement Survey, whose deadline has

One issue that has been discussed at the task force meetings is the North Coast Growers Association’s (NCGA) proposal for partial Plaza street closures. NCGA farmers would like to reduce congestion and increase safety by closing Eigth and Ninth streets during the Saturday markets. Plaza merchants have expressed concern about the closures’ possible effects on their businesses. A special meeting of the NCGA will be held to discuss the street closure proposal tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 5 p.m. in the Arts and Crafts Room at the Arcata Community Center.

units, Arcata 610, Fortuna 290, Rio Dell 51, Ferndale 33, Blue Lake 23 and Trinidad 18. Unincorporated Humboldt County, of which McKinleyville is a part, was allocated 1,413 units. It’s estimated that McKinleyville could end up with 900 of those units. However, it’s important to remember that the Housing Element is ultimately a theoretical exercise on paper, and may not necessarily translate into actual housing development. The county is required to have enough land zoned to meet those housing needs, but whether the properties ever get developed is dictated by private property owners, market forces and the availability of grant funding for low-income housing projects. Representatives of the Humboldt County Planning and Building Department will be at tonight’s meeting to explain the Housing Element, answer questions and discuss other changes to state housing laws. Strategic Plan The McKinleyville Community Services District Board of Directors will hold a public hearing on its Strategic Plan at a meeting on Wednesday, March 6 starting at 7 p.m. at Azalea Hall. The document provides district staff with a work plan through 2024, and includes a variety of projects, including sewer, water, parks and recreation improvements. The district is working to acquire property on Cochran Road to build a 4.5-million-gallon water tank. The tank would provide the town with additional capacity in the event its main water supply line is cut off in a disaster.

McKinleyville purchases its water from the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District. A single water line crosses under the Mad River and supplies the entire town. One of the concerns is that the line could break during an earthquake, and the town wouldn’t have enough water to douse the fires that are expected following an earthquake. The Strategic Plan also includes a proposed community forest, improvements to local parks and replacement of aging sewer and water lines, among other things. Zoning changes The McKMAC will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, March 13 at 6 p.m. at Azalea Hall to discuss proposed zoning changes. The County of Humboldt is proposing several zoning changes throughout the county, including McKinleyville. According to the Humboldt County Planning and Building Department website “The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the proposed zoning text changes to implement the 2017 Humboldt County General Plan and gather public input, as well as to provide information about the next steps in the rezoning process. In addition, there will be opportunities to review proposed rezones in McKinleyville. Note: Humboldt County will initiate planning for Creation of a Town Center District in Summer 2019 that is intended to establish a unique identity for McKinleyville through the development of a viable town center, serving as a community focal point and providing a center for social/community interaction.” More information is available at humboldtgov.org/2429/Implementation.

ceed,” other supervisors questioned how comprehensive expense tallies would be calculated. Supervisor Virginia Bass said agencies like the Arcata Fire Protection District would also have to do the tracking. She added that even annexation is “a really bad proposition for cities right now” and she’s not sure if what Madrone proposes is “the type of research to do.” Madrone acknowledged California’s revenue neutrality law, which requires reviews of the financial impacts of incorporation on counties. Under the law, counties can make revenue restoration demands on newly-formed cities, which critics of the law have derisively described as “alimony payments.” Saying that the county’s expenses are “a significant piece” of understanding McKinleyville’s scope of service obligations, Madrone reiterated the need to tally them. “Yes, there are other pieces and yes, sometimes many barriers are out there – but they can be changed and fixed, that’s the legislative process,” Madrone said. He envisions gaining the information and convening a forum in about a year where officials from similarly-sized incorporated cities, county officials and those from McKinleyville’s agencies would be involved. “I’ve been looking into this for a long time, talking to many people,” Madrone said. “It’s what the community wants – they want this information.” After further discussion where doubts about the scale of the effort were aired, Madrone thanked supervisors for their feedback and agreed on the staged approach. The County Administrative Office will outline what it will take to “come up with cost estimates for McKinleyville.” “I’m confident that the departments can come up with estimates and can qualify those estimates as to how accurate they are and what range they run in,” said Supervisor Mike Wilson. “I’m looking forward to seeing how this moves forward.”

Eureka rededicated as an official Coast Guard City in ceremony EUREKA — The Coast Guard re-designated Eureka as an official Coast Guard City during a ceremony at the City of Eureka Council Chambers last Friday. Capt. James Pruett, the Coast Guard 11th District chief of staff and Capt. Greg Fuller, Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay commander, bestowed this honor to Eureka with approval from Congress. Rep. Jared Huffman, 2nd District of California, and Eureka Mayor Susan Seaman participated in the re-designation. “My district is more aware and appreciative of the Coast Guard in their day-to-day lives than anywhere I have been to,” said Rep. Huffman. “This re-dedication to the city of Eureka is shared by all of the Northern California coastal communities.” Eureka is the second U.S. city to be designated as a Coast Guard City, first achieving the honor in June of 2000. The Coast Guard City program was established by Congress in

the meeting, with arguments in favor of the statue not given proper airing. A subsequent petition drive qualified Measure M for the ballot, giving Arcata voters a chance to ratify the council’s choice. And that they did, with a more than 2-to-1 vote to get rid of the statue. But even that decisive vote left some dangling threads – when will the statue come down, and what will be done with it? Now we know. In a matter of weeks a crane will lift the statue from the base on which it has resided since 1906, and it will be sent to Canton, Ohio, where McKinley lived with his wife, Ida. There, unlike Arcata, the eventual 25th president is held in extremely high esteem as a hometown hero. At Wednesday’s City Council meeting, there was rare agreement among McKinley statue supporters and dislikers on a key point – that Canton was the statue’s proper forever home. Some wanted it as far away from Arcata as possible. “Canton makes sense,” said McKinleyville resident Erik Yahmo Ahqha Rydberg. “That’s where McKinley came from; let them pay to take him back.” Several other speakers agreed.Councilmember Michael Winkler, who championed the Measure M initiative that would have reversed the council’s decision, said he would heed the people’s preferences. “As many people have expressed, that they don’t want the statue at all in Humboldt County or in this area, so I think that Canton, Ohio is the most appropriate place for it to go,” Winkler said. Councilmembers Paul Pitino, Sofia Pereira, Susan Ornelas and Mayor Brett Watson also thought Canton the best choice. Councilmembers urged Diemer to move with dispatch in the statue down, even if it had to be kept in storage as transfer details were worked out. Diemer said about $15,000 has been spent on the bureaucratic preparation for statue removal, with perhaps another $15,000 in expenses expected for physical removal. Canton will handle costs of transportation to that town, and any subsequent expenses. The figures cited were a small fraction of the half-million dollars or more that statue supporters had claimed removal would cost during the Measure M campaign. At the same time, statue opponents’ pre-election promises to cover Arcata’s share of the expenses didn’t come up, and appear to have been abandoned. (See Letters to the Editor, page A5.) Canton Mayor Thomas Bernabei was exultant over the sculptural windfall Thursday morning. He hadn’t seen the Arcata council meeting, and learned of the good tidings from mes-

sage left by a newspaper reporter, followed by a phone call from Watson and City Manager Karen Diemer. Bernabei said they offered their congratulations. The Ohio town is host to the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum, but since that facility doesn’t want it, Canton’s civic leaders are looking at a number of other locations on which to site the bronze effigy. And there are many from which to choose.

A January piece by Canton Repository Staff Writer and columnist Charita Goshay lists multiple potential locations in that town: outside the Stark County Courthouse, where McKinley practiced law from 1867 until 1876 prior to his election to Congress; the Central Plaza and the courtyard at the National First Ladies’ Library, where McKinley lived with his wife, Ida Saxton; the main branch of the Stark County District Library, where McKinley’s home once stood. Thursday, Goshay said other sites could include the town’s Central Plaza, or even McKinley High School, where his sister Anna once taught. It’s a happy problem for Mayor Bernabei. “We are very excited by the news and we thank the citizens of Arcata,” he said. “We’ll provide a very, very good home.”

Bernabei said he understands that there are many logistical details to work out, but hopes that the statue can be crated up and shipped as soon as possible. Once received, it will undergo a thorough restoration by Coon Restoration and Sealants. In his initial letter to Diemer, Bernabei described that Canton-based company as one of the Midwest’s premier restoration firms. It will attempt to reverse what is

presumed to be cosmetic damage inflicted on the statue last October, when someone splattered the statue with a discoloring substance. “I will be forwarding them some closer-up pictures of the damage to review with the restoration company they have contacted which might determine where it is initially shipped to,” Diemer said. “I will hopefully have removal logistics organized in the next couple of weeks.” Mayor Brett Watson agreed that Canton is the logical spot for McKinley to dwell henceforth. “In my conversations with the mayor of Canton it was clear that their community was enthusiastic about the possibility of relocating the statue to Canton,” Watson said. “They will also have the damage to the statue repaired, dis-

“The way that our neighbors welcome us to this community and make us part of it, regardless of if we have been here a few months or a few years, shows their appreciation and support,” said Capt. Fuller.

al temperature in the region will increase by 10 degrees by the end of the century and the impacts will be more intense in inland areas. Further from the shoreline, “There are projected to be very significant increases in the number of extreme days, the duration of heat waves and the intensity of heat waves,” Grantham said. He added that the region’s number of days per year over 100 degrees will increase from eight to 40 by century’s end. Rainfall amounts aren’t expected to change, Grantham said, but intense rains will be more frequent. “What this means for flows in our rivers and streams is that we’re going to see higher flows, potentially, in the winter months, more intense floods and then, actually, drier conditions in the summer,” he continued. The power rain events will generate fast run-off and together with longer dry seasons, ultimately lead to decrease in soil moisture. That will prime the landscape for wildfires. “As our soil moisture dries out, as our vegetation dries out, it becomes more flammable,” said Grantham. For Humboldt County, the assessment forecasts an end-of-century doubling of the area burned by wildfires. As supervisors considered the report’s predictive computer models, some skepticism was expressed. Recalling the hollow Y2K scare, Supervisor Rex Bohn said, play the statue somewhere that’s accessible by the public, and cover the costs of relocation. We had other offers to cover the costs but they were primarily to relocate the statue to private collections. Since the statue was originally gifted to the public I believe it’s appropriate the statue remains in possession of the public.” Watson was glad to put the divisive issue in Arcata’s

“Computer simulations are great but I think about being up at midnight when it turned year 2000 because we thought the world was going to shut down and nothing happened.” In response, Wilson described Y2K as “one data point” that didn’t gain consensus. “What we have here is people basing their models on data that they’ve been collecting over the years and the response to that,” he said. He added that “there have been predictions made and those predictions have been more or less correct if not actually somewhat conservative relative to the results that we’re seeing.” Asked by Wilson if the assessment’s predictions are conservative, Grantham said there’s “very strong agreement” on the temperature and annual rainfall aspects. “I could have shown graphs just with the observed record over the last 50 years and you would have come away with pretty much the same conclusion about the directions of the trends,” he continued. Sea level rise impacts will also be significant and the county is already delving into response to that with the assistance of hydrologist Alderson Laird, who will give supervisors a separate presentation soon. Grantham said strategies of “planned retreat” and protection of assets will have to be considered. He advised that taking action will be difficult, saying, “Land use decisions are at the heart of this and there are strong economic implications of that.”

rear-view mirror, and for the opportunities statue removal makes possible. “We’ve spent a lot of time and resources on this issue and its time to move on to other goals such as increasing safety within the city, and considering a redesign of the Plaza in a way that will give a greater benefit to our community,” he said. Arcata’s mayor was eager to acknowledge the efforts of

his colleagues in bringing about a solution. “I’d also like to acknowledge the hard work all of our councilmembers put into this issue over the last year,” Watson said. “Councilmember Ornelas spent a lot of time searching for solutions that would best serve our community and Councilmember Peirera presided over many challenging meetings.”

EUREKA, Calif. — Over the next several weeks, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) contract crews will be working in Humboldt and Trinity counties to conduct accelerated safety inspections of transmission towers and poles using infrared cameras affixed to helicopters. Infrared technology is used to determine hot spots on conductors, insulators and connectors which may require repair. The aerial inspections will complement and further enhance the visual and ground inspections that began late last year and are part of the company’s enhanced wildfire safety efforts, implemented following the 2017 and 2018 wildfires. These additional precautionary measures are intended to further reduce wildfire risk. Weather and other factors

affecting safe working conditions may impact the work schedule. If you have any questions or want to check for PG&E’s presence in your community, please call 1-800-7435000. Additional information is available at pge.com/wildfireinspections. This work is being done as part of the company’s Community Wildfire Safety Program and is in addition to its routine inspections and maintenance programs. PG&E inspection crews are conducting accelerated inspections of approximately 50,000 towers and poles across more than 5,500 miles of transmission lines. These safety inspections are taking place across PG&E’s service area in locations that have been designated as at elevated or extreme risk of wildfire based on the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) High Fire-Threat District Map.

TRINIDAD – On Thursday, Feb. 21 at about 5:39 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a residence on the 700 block of Edwards Street in Trinidad for a shooting investigation. According to the victim, just prior to contacting law enforcement, the victim observed an unknown male suspect siphoning gas from his vehicle. The victim, armed with a firearm, confronted the suspect. The suspect reportedly

began to walk away when the victim demanded that he stop. The suspect then reportedly brandished a firearm at the victim, at which time the victim fired one shot at the suspect. It is unknown if the suspect was struck, however no evidence of injury was located at the scene. The suspect then ran to his vehicle and fled the scene. The suspect is described as a white male adult, possibly in his 30s, approximately 6 feet tall, thin build and approximately 150 pounds. He was last

seen wearing a dark-colored hoodie, dark-colored jeans and a dark-colored beanie. The suspect’s vehicle is described as a dark-colored sedan with a loud exhaust. This incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 4457251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 2682539.

OpiniOn Missed opportunities and mistakes, some still in the making Well, that didn’t happen

Mayor Watson and Members of the City Council, I understand that you will be considering the removal of the McKinley statue at this evening’s City Council meeting. As I recall, the proponents of removal offered to pay for the cost of removal as part of their arguments in support. I strongly suggest that you establish a fund for the removal. When the proponents of removal have raised the $30,000 ($15,000 spent so far and an estimated $15,000 needed to remove) that the actual removal begin. Thank you for your consideration of this issue. Sincerely, Dan Hauser Arcata

v LETTERS Do the right thing now

I support the Green New Deal because it is the only legislation ever proposed in our country that has the power and scope to address the climate emergency. The latest UN report on climate says that we have 12 years to totally and radically transform our economy if we are to sustain human civilization as we know it. Personally, I am frightened by the upsurge of extreme weather events, especially the devastating wildfires in our region and state. National polls show that the vast majority of Americans, regardless of political party, support the Green New Deal. It will help save the climate, decrease pollution, and create millions of well-paying jobs in the process. We owe it to our children and their children to do the right thing now rather than allowing our planet to slide into climate catastrophe. Sincerely, Scott Feldman Arcata

The trees are crying

I am a Botany major at Humboldt State University and I think the trees are crying. They are crying because children are screaming. Bird, bug, beast, and human are frightened. Mother, father. Elders, my peers, children. We are the ground of a mulched sadness. We are the seeds deep and splitting. We are “the first generation to know we are destroying our planet and the last one that can do anything about it,”* We are numbered, marked; with the sign of twelve. 12 years. And we are singing; lighting ebullience at every loss, sowing miracles with every tear. We are the the flower-children, the zoo-esapees, the clear-eyed and sharptongued messengers of an incomprehensible, eternal, unstoppable vision. I am writing in support of this vision. I am writing in support of the Green New Deal, and to urge Dianne Feinstein to endorse it, swiftly. This deal will create millions of green jobs and address the reality of climate change with attainable solutions. When the Sunrise movement dawned on the nation; occupying Nancy Pelosi’s office and demanding climate justice; my heart softened. Present and future slowed in acknowledgement of each other and a new, fragile light. And for the earth, for life, the sunrise never ends; on December 10 hundreds of youth will coalsesce in D.C. and S.F. calling for a Green New Deal to be a top priority in the 2020 Presidential elections.

Hands off Venezuela PLAZA PROTEST members of Veterans For Peace Humboldt Bay Chapter 56 protested U.S. government meddling in Venezuala during Saturday’s Farmers Market on the Plaza. According to the national VFP website, the organization’s Statement of Purpose promises to “restrain our governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations,” and calls on members in over 100 U.S. cities and internationally, to make their voices heard. “We must do all we can to prevent a bloody civil war from taking a huge toll on the Venezuelan people, and the peace-loving people of the hemisphere,” states the VFP.

News items: Open-minded Humboldters embrace new ideas in traditional fashion. others soon tired of being students on Saturday! I learned early on, if I wanted willing “students,” then learning had to be fun. Teaching isn’t something I do, it is an activity I facilitate. I am a part of a process that takes a solid foundation of respect for each member of the team, whether it is one-on-one with a student, coworker, or family member or if it is a whole group or a whole system. Building relationships are the critical factor in a happy and successful learning environment such as the classroom, the home, or at work. Learning happens when the brain is engaged in the process and the body is safe and comfortable. Providing a classroom and a school environment that understands many students and the adults connected to them are living with trauma requires a strong sense of trust and safety to focus on daily tasks and goals. As a home visitor, it was necessary to help a family feel at ease immediately, and to build trust that I would not judge circumstances but only seek to provide resources to create change. This ability has served me well throughout my career as an educator and as an advocate. I am in my third year as a teacher, and I have been blessed with kindergarten and first-grade students who endured the difficulties of helping me learn classroom management and to implement curriculum in a way that met the needs of all my students. Differentiating the curriculum was the biggest challenge I faced, with a range of learners including gifted students and students with severe learning challenges. However, the joy of watching a student construct and teach his or her own lesson to the class or making eye contact and receiving a smile from a child who is in a regular classroom for the first time, becomes its own greatest reward this teacher can earn. The home and school connection is another form of building a support system

that grows communities and prepares students for the challenges they will face in the future. Welcoming families into the classroom and creating ways of connecting through technology are bridges to the future because when families care about education, students are more successful and will have greater educational outcomes than those whose families who are fearful or dismissive of the education process. Providing members of the community opportunities to interact with the school and classrooms creates bridges for developing strong communities that students will choose to remain in or return to as adults. On-site social services and health resources are other components of support for families struggling with health care, housing, transportation, or food issues are also important factors for educational success. Knowing that my voice matters, that my passionate belief in helping people learn to learn, to set goals, and to be accountable, gives me a great sense of gratification and well-being which then ripples out to the lives I touch. “When the whole world is silent, even one voice is powerful.” – Malala Yousafzai Maria Shearer-Hill, M.A. Ed/AET Hayfork

A crowd of one

As far as I know, only one McKinley statue is exiting the Plaza. “Exeunt” is always plural, meaning two or more exit. Oh dear. Top of page one. Ed Munn Arcata Note: While we’ve prepared several lame defenses for the misuse of that term, we’re going with this one: For a majority of Arcata voters, one was a crowd when it came to the McKinley statue. There, fixed it! – Ed.

Humboldt can play a key role in a global growth industry

ast week Nordic Aquafarms made the decision to pursue final due diligence for a land-based fish farm on the Samoa Peninsula in Humboldt by signing a lease-option agreement with the Harbor District in Humboldt. If our due diligence and permitting goes as we hope, this project will bring major investments, good paying jobs, tax revenue, and many business opportunities for local businesses in the area. Our assessments so far strongly indicate that this location is perfect for our land-based fish operation. Land-based fish farming is an unfamiliar concept for many people in California, and we understand that there is a need to provide as much information as possible. To sum up, we are producing fish in indoor facilities with a series of independent tank systems. The benefit of our design is that the risk of fish escape is eliminat-

OPINION

Eric Heim ed. Discharge of nutrients is dramatically reduced, and the nutrients are recycled for other uses. We remove the hosts for sea lice and other parasites out of the ocean, thus we do not impact wild salmon populations. For these and other reasons, a number of respectable environmental organizations such as the Atlantic Salmon Federation, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and Conservation Law Foundation have written letters of support for our similar project in Maine. We produce a natural product – there are no additives, GMOs, growth hormones or antibiotics in our daily production. The fish

exercise 24/7 in the current in our tanks. Thus, there are many benefits with regards to fish welfare and final product quality. The final choice of species to be produced is subject to further assessments in California. As the citizens of Humboldt will experience, our company works hard to address questions, concerns and local opportunities for sustainable economic development. We are long-term in our thinking and we want to be a net positive contributor in the communities we become a part of. This includes workforce development and working collaboratively with local citizen groups to find mutual benefits going forward. Engaging with the community is an integral part of our learning process aimed at tailoring our development to the community. We put a high value on local knowledge. We will be present locally on a regular basis and provide regular information through news-

letters, our local Facebook-page – “Nordic Aquafarms Humboldt” and through our community liaison, Lynette Mullen. This project has been designated as an anchor project at the peninsula that will attract other businesses to the area. An aquaculture cluster will contribute to a diverse and robust seafood industry in Humboldt. We also see potential synergies and opportunities for cooperation with the existing seafood industry. Our strategy is to provide an alternative to seafood imports to the region, not to compete with existing hard-working businesses. In Norway, where our company originated, strong wild-catch and fish farming industries operate side-by-side, both with great success. With two facilities in operation in Denmark, and a third going online in Norway these days, Nordic Aquafarms is in a unique position to scale up in the U.S., based on our experience and growing team

of experts. We already have eight employees in the US, in addition to our organization in Europe. The U.S. organization is set to grow quickly in the coming years. With a strong shareholder base and a significant capital market for seafood in Norway, Nordic Aquafarms is poised to make responsible investments in Humboldt in the coming years. Keeping in mind that the U.S. imports over 90 percent of its seafood and that the U.S. seafood market is growing 7 to 8 percent annually, there is a need to create new sustainable food systems for the future as additions to the wild catch industry. Americans are increasingly making healthy food choices, and seafood is one of the healthiest protein sources available. We look forward to crafting sustainable choices for U.S. consumers and the environment in Humboldt. Erik Heim is president of Nordic Aquafarms, Inc.

hey say “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb,” although whether the weather will do so, well, that still remains to be seen. For me, late February meant a missive from my old drummer pal, Danny Montgomery who wrote, “Back in California, two shows on the horizon— Thursday, Feb. 28 at the Arcata Playhouse with Jerry Martien and the Band of Angels featuring Thad Beckman and Fred Neighbor, with Gary Davidson and me… debuting some new stuff from Jerry.” Mr. Martien (the acclaimed Humboldt poet) describes the “new stuff” as, “Country blues accompanying story and lyric of the Dust Bowl and the Okies, our present disrupted systems, natural and political, humans and birds caught up in a crisis of migration and refuge.” Expect thoughtful rumination on current events. Danny’s second show is the next night, Friday, March 1, “the homecoming” of Thad Beckman and Band. “Gary and I will be accompanying the Thadster,” he explained. “You can expect a new CD from Thad and some special guests.” Among the special guests, Barney Doyle, who I met recently at the Co-

op’s Clear-Out-The-TenPin-Building fire sale, where he was helping out since he recently relocated to Arcata to take a job as controller for the Co-op. We got to talking about music. It seemed he’d sat in the night before with The Handshakers, taking guitarist Michael Walker’s chair (a story for another day). Turns out Barney and Danny have known each other for ages. (BTW, Danny and Gary have been playing together for 50 years.) As Danny explained later, “I've been playing with Barney for over 45 years. We began in the summer of ’73 in a band called Hog Wild, playing Walt's Friendly Tavern and the Mad River Rose… [Those were the days…] He’ll be sitting in with us on that Friday with Thad. You know Barney was a member of Mickey Hart's band…” There’s more to the story, but as Trevor Noah says on The Daily Show, “Ain’t nobody got time for that…” The Undead Remember our discussion on Dead tribute bands? Saturday, March 2, at Humbrews (home to many such bands), they have a touring version, Deadgrass, a “string band adventure through Jerry Garcia's musical world,” with a mid-level pickers from back east “exploring the life works of

My favorite thing about this program is sometimes I get to try new foods or experiment with old favorites whenever they are in season!

LET THE SUN SHINE Junior Warden Ralph Till examines the array of solar panels mounted on the south roof over the sanctuary of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church. On Sunday, March 3, at its 10:30 a.m. service, the church, located in the Sunny Brae neighborhood of Arcata, will bless its newly installed photovoltaic system. The south roof over its sanctuary is sporting an array of twenty 350-watt solar panels in two rows. The solar panels will not only reduce St. Alban’s energy bill, it will also reduce St. Alban’s carbon footprint. “The installation of the solar panels is just one part of St. Alban’s creation care ministry, which seeks to heal, defend, and work toward justice for all God's creation and to respect the kinship and connection of all that God created through education, advocacy and action,” stated a press release from the church. The solar panels were installed by Roger with the help of St. Alban’s parishioners Bob Webb, Ralph Till and Stefan Hall. Purchase of the panels was made possible by a generous bequest from longtime parishioner Maureen Johannsen. It is a 7,000-watt grid tie solar installation with central inverter. The panels are mounted on Tron Ridge XRIW. The Fronious inverter has a 7,600-watt capacity. Submitted photo

Climate talk on Sunday Humboldt unitarian universalist FellowsHip

BAYSIDE – “Toward a New Personal Norm for Our Climate” is the presentation on Sunday, March 3 at both 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. by Connie Roser-Renouf, Ph.D. at the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Bayside. As a scientist working through George Mason University in Washington, D.C., Dr. Renouf has studied how people communicate about climate change. One of her key findings is that simply talking about your concerns about climate change helps change peoples’ views and their willingness to take action. “Interpersonal influence is a great engine of social change, greater than what’s in the news media or what’s said by political leaders,” Dr. Renouf says. In the service she will discuss how to have these kind of conversations, and why they work. The Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is located at 24 Fellowship Way, off Jacoby Creek Rd., in Bayside. Childcare is available during the service.

The Hum | Groovy collection of local women musicians FROM B1

from his days with The Bucky Walters (or if you have a good memory, The HSU Jammers League before that). Niko is not the only one swept up by the Shook Twins after relocating to PDX. Ace keyboard player Aber Miller, who played in too many local bands to count, joined the band full time recently. Welcome him home, at least for a minute, before their tour continues. Zero + Monday also marks the beginning of the second annual Zero to Fierce Fest, a woman-centric thing with events all week long at the Arcata Playhouse. (Details on page B3.) On Friday, they have WILPF’s International Women’s Day Celebration with The Raging Grannies, Jan Bramlett and Leslie Quinn (and many more). Meanwhile, also on Friday, March 8, the 0-2-F Fest moves a few blocks over to Outer Space for music etc. by indigenous activist/singer/songwriter Sarah Torres, FIG (short for “feeling is good”) with “hopeful heartbroken lullabies,” Jackalope Jill (aka j. jill) offering “interpretations of songs by great lady songwriters,” and spoken word and poetry from Word Humboldt. On Saturday, March 9, 0-2-F has “The Broad Side,” with what’s described as “a groovy collection of local women musicians, four different musical styles.” There’s Julie Fulkerson & Gwen Post (I assume classical), Lorenza Simmons & Jenny Mao Villaseñor (soul?), The Monster Women (groovy rock), and Lyndsey Battle (funky folk). All are good examples of fierce women. (Fierce and nice.) Metalic Same Saturday, March 9, catch “a night of local Humboldt heavy music” at Humbrews. First up, FHOG (an acronym for Finger Hash Of the Gods) with “heavy blues stoner rock or something.” Next is Arcata’s Ultramafic an “instrumental stoner metal power trio.” Final facemelters: War Möth, “heavily inspired by 1970s and early ‘80s hard rock and heavy metal.” Heavy. Metal. Stoner. Do we see a pattern here? They suggest, “Come out. Bang your head. Have a beer.”

Your lucky day? For some unknown reason, Wednesday, March 13 is a good day showing the eclectic nature of the music scene. Let’s start with an evening with Lou Barlow at Siren’s Song. The indie rock icon offers this message: “In 2019, I continue my small space 7:30 showtime tour. I did this throughout 2018 and it was really good. The general setlength seems to be about 2 1/2 hours, which is what it takes to play the requests I get and the corners of my catalogue (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion, Dinosaur Jr, solo, etc.) [that] I like to touch on every night. I also tend talk about the songs, my kids and whatever else happened that day. I’m most comfortable in this setting, please join me if you can.” Don’t hesitate, only 50 tickets available. (It may be sold out already.) Meanwhile 3/13 in Ferndale, at the Old Steeple, iconic singer/songwriter Greg Brown sings a few and tends to “talk about the songs.” (Same, but different.) Again, it may be sold out. At the Arcata Theatre Lounge that night (3/13) it’s Big Wild (aka producer Jackson Stell) who “crafts lush soundscapes and sweeping melodies that challenge the status quo of electronic music,” on his “Superdream Tour.” Originally a hip-hop beat maker known as J Beatz, Mr. Big shifted gears after leaving Massachusetts on a “life-altering trip to Big Sur,” where he succumbed to Cali’s “natural glory and open spaces to create the atmospheric and wide-spanning Big Wild sound, traversing electronic, indie, pop and beyond.” Openers TBA. Over at the Miniplex 3/13, it’s Japanese psyche from Loolowningen & The Far East Idiots. (Loolowningen translates as “wandering people.”) The Tokyo-based “poly/cross/multi/liquid-rhythm/math/prog/alternative rock trio crafts “ink wash painting-like sounds and unicursal rhythms, for all wanderers.” Like-minded local support supplied by Blackplate and Idyll. And last but not least, at Humbrews 3/13, there’s the Grateful Bluegrass Boys with “classic rock through a bluegrass lens,” of course with Dead covers (see above) this time out of Santa Cruz. Is that eclecticism or what?

Playhouse presents Zero to Fierce Festival ArcAtA PlAyhouse

ARCATA – From Monday, March 4 through Sunday, March 10, Playhouse Arts presents the Third Annual 02F: Zero To Fierce Festival. This week-long event celebrating creative womxn in our community is centered around International Women’s Day on Friday, March 8. Co-Director Jacqueline Dandeneau has been working hard to produce a memorable event. “I am excited by what we have planned for the festival this year. We have the premier of two original theater pieces, an art exhibit from seven local visual artists, an evening of women in music, and we are happy to be working with other organizations such as Outer Space, Redwood Raks and Dead Reckoning,” Dandeneau said. “It is becoming increasingly important for us as a community to gather together, and that is what this weeklong event is about – from the Convivial Symposium to the International Potluck Brunch.” This year the 02F Festival is broken down into two series,

the Lunchbox Series and the Evening Series. The Lunchbox Series, Monday through Friday from noon to 1 p.m., offers people a unique experience on their lunch break. Topics include making peace with money, queer identity, Morris Graves, the invisibility of aging and Native women and violence. “When you buy your ticket, you get a light lunch along with amazing performances and important conversations” says Dandeneau. The Evening Series includes the movie Roma, with a pre movie discussion by Centro Del Pueblo, an ongoing art exhibit, “/SHē-ärt frэm THэ härt/,” the return of the Convivial Symposium, and local teens will present their original musical Sandman. On International Women’s Day the Arcata branch of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom will be celebrating at the Playhouse with their annual free

event. Other events include the 8th Annual One Minute Dances at Redwood Raks and women in music at Outer Space. On Saturday, March 9, The Broad Side will feature four different musical styles with an eclectic group of women including Julie Fulkerson, Gwen Post, Lorenza Simmons, Jenny Mao Villasenor, Lyndsey Battle and the Monster Women.

Brace yourself. Kitty season is almost upon us

itten season is quickly approaching! Now is the time to spay and neuter your neighborhood feral cats. We are happy to announce that we’re offering a Fix a Feral for $15 offer, which is a discount on our already existing feral spay/neuter voucher program. We are able to offer vouchers to anyone living from Arcata north to Orleans, east to Hoopa, and all areas in between. Humane traps are available free of charge and we require a $65 deposit which is returned to you when our traps

are returned. We can help in educating on how to most successfully trap entire feral populations. This program is not for pet cats and ear tipping is required. Trapping and fixing feral cats is a powerful service to offer your community, and can significantly reduce future populations. If you feed they’ll breed, so if you feed them please fix them. Please call us at (707) 826-7387 and stop by at our Sunny Brae store at 88 Sunnybrae Center!

edwood Pals Rescue has two dogs in our care that have been mentioned here before. Patrick and Gloria were both shelter dogs. They both had adoptions that didn’t work out for various reasons and are once again looking for

their forever homes. Sometimes an adoption just doesn’t turn out to be the perfect match that we all dream of. In one case,

Meet Patrick and his esteemed colleague Gloria the adopter had health issues that resulted in no energy left over for the dog. In the other, the makeup of the household changed and there was no longer room for a dog. When this happens after the shelter’s trial period has expired, it can fall to Patrick

v COMPANION

Redwood Pals to foster and rehome our old friends. This can be a blessing in disguise as it also gives us a chance to really get to know the dog in a home context and continue their training while they wait for the right placement. These two have

come so far from the dogs that they used to be! Good manners and happy personalities are their trademarks now. Patrick is in a temporary foster and available for adoption or to someone who might be interested to “foster-to-adopt.” Patrick is a 2 ½ year-old, small pit-mix with a silly, affectionate personality and a soft, fawn-colored coat. He is very well-behaved in the house and can entertain himself for hours gnawing on a bone or lounging in his spot. He is responsive to his person, easy on-leash and in the car, friendly meeting people, and is playful with other dogs. He is a great little dog! Patrick is sharing his foster apartment with Gloria. He has learned to share and be a good friend with her. He listens well and knows quite a few obedience skills and some entertaining tricks as well. Patrick has had some guidance from our trainer which we would pass along to his new family to help him be the best buddy possible! Patrick is available for adoption or for foster to someone who might be interested in “foster-toadopt.” Gloria is about 6 years old and was in the shelter for almost a year. She is a different dog out of the shelter! Relaxed and easy-going, Gloria is dog-friendly, if a little unskilled in her interactions, and just want-

Gloria ing to share her affection with people of her own. Gloria can be content lounging in the sun or wandering around the yard, but she really enjoys being part of the goings on in the house. She enjoys playing and exploring with other dogs and has good recall. She has been great off-leash but could still use work on her leash skills. Gloria is doing great in her foster home with one of our big-hearted volunteers, but our goal is always to find our dogs a home of their own. Patrick and Gloria are very good friends and could be adopted as a pair, though they will do just fine on their own as well. Patrick and Gloria are altered, microchipped and current on vaccinations. They are both available through Redwood Pals Rescue. Please contact us at redwoodpalsrescue@ gmail.com or leave a voicemail at (707) 633-8842. We do not have a physical facility but are always happy to meet with potential adopters!
