EvEry 15 MinutEs SOME VIEWERS MAY FIND DISTURBING Every 15 minutes a drunk driver causes tragedy, and every year at Arcata high School, a graphic accident re-eneactment, funeral and trial take place to show students the reality of drunk driving. Top, the accident scene, with the Grim Reaper and previous victims looking on. Above, the funeral and trial. The event is coordinated by the Arcata Police Department’s Juvenile Diversion Counselor Crystal Perez, AHS teacher Wendy Zamboni, Assistant Principal Jim Monge and the CHP’s Paul Craft. Sponsors are the CHP and Arcata Rotary Sunrise. Parent speakers were Melissa Rice and Matt Nutter; student speakers were Jack Taylor and Mekaynea Solia. The program brings together a coalition of local agencies with the goal of reducing alcohol-related incidents among youth. This year Arcata High School personnel worked with Arcata Fire to use the event as a training exercise for emergencies on campus. Matt Filar photos

mit is issued. All businesses, whether cannabis is the primary activity or a small part of the business, would require licensing from the state and the City. The Arcata Planning Commission is recommending the number of Use Permits be limited to 15 business with up to two in the Plaza area zone and no more than one in each neighborhood commercial district. Under this recommendation, cannabis accessory sales would be allowed in all commercial zones with a Use Permit, and as an accessory retail “tasting room” in the Cannabis Innovation Zone. Cannabis accessory sales would not be included within the limited 15-permit cap. The Arcata City Economic Development Committee is recommending an open market with no caps on cannabis businesses, so that cannabis businesses are treated like all other local businesses without limitations.
Community outreach has shown that Arcata citizens are largely supportive of cannabis retail sales, and the City of Arcata recognizes that consumers want access to the expanding market of new cannabis products and services that are expected to grow with adult use cannabis legalization. Businesses that would be required to apply for City permits under the proposed ordinance include those that provide retail sales of both medicinal and adult cannabis directly to consumers, and businesses providing a service to individuals that include the use of cannabis products. Examples of potential cannabis service businesses are those providing massage therapy, aromatherapy, counseling programs, yoga classes, arts and crafts programs and others not yet conceived. Cannabis consumers are currently limited in where they are able to use cannabis products, since state law
prohibits cannabis to be consumed or used in public, and the City of Arcata prohibits smoking tobacco and cannabis products in places of employment. The new proposed standards for the City of Arcata would allow for on and offsite cannabis consumption or use as allowed per California state law, but the new standards proposed would not revise the City’s public spaces and “places of employment” prohibition. Innovative business models would be given an opportunity to apply for on-site cannabis consumption areas as new technology or other modes of use are developed such as edibles, tinctures or topical applications. The Arcata City Council will consider recommendations made on this topic at the City Council meeting taking place on Wednesday, May 2 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Arcata City Hall located at 736 F St. All interested citizens are encouraged to attend.

Humboldt failing to Humboldt State getting massive seismic upgrade promote lucrative cannabis tourism HUMboldt State UniveRSity
Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT –The Board of Supervisors and those involved in the cannabis industry are questioning why the Humboldt County Convention and Visitors Bureau isn’t promoting cannabis-related tourism. Lack of effort to capitalize on the county’s reputation for quality cannabis was noted after a presentation by the bureau at the April 3 supervisors meeting. Tony Smithers, the bureau’s executive director, highlighted Humboldt’s natural attributes, particularly the presence of redwood forests, as a tourist draw. He didn’t mention cannabis tourism, which the county and the state are enabling in regulation and business licensing. Supervisor Virginia Bass asked about it and Smithers said that this year, redwoods is a marketing focus because of Humboldt’s number one ranking by Lonely Planet and anniversaries marked by Redwood National Park and Save the Redwoods League. Smithers said the bureau’s board of directors will be discussing cannabis tourism at its next meeting. The bureau gets hotel bed tax revenue from the county and cities for tourism marketing. Supervisor Estelle Fennell said the cannabis industry is an important part of the county’s tourism mix and its economic development policymaking. “So I do hope that somewhere along the line, that is going to be looked at because I believe there is quite a bit of economic potential there,” she continued. “We have been looking at it, in fact we’ve been doing a lot of research,” Smithers said in response, adding that assessing market potential is part of the analysis. During a public comment session, Terra Carver of the Humboldt Growers Alliance said her group is “very concerned about the lack of cannabis-related content or even a plan to incorporate into their strategy Humboldt County’s newly-regulated industry.” Saying that farm-based retail cannabis sales, tours and special events are developing and dispensaries are well-established, Carver questioned why the bureau isn’t promoting cannabis. “Just imagine if Napa didn’t market wine,” she said. Humboldt’s status as renowned cannabis brand and potential cannabis tourist destination was also highlighted by Chuck Leishman, the general manager of the North Coast Journal. “I know that we have a brand that we need to massage and that we need to grow,” he said. Mariellen Jurkovich, director of the Humboldt Patient Resource Center dispensary in Arcata, told superCANNABIS

HUMBOLDT STATE – Humboldt State University’s campus will soon undergo significant changes with a $34 million seismic retrofit on the Library and Theatre Arts buildings, scheduled to be completed by Fall 2019. There will be some major changes during the construction period, including the closure of parts of the Library, full closure of the Theatre Arts building, relocation of some offices, classrooms, and programs, and temporary construction of modular buildings on the Campus Events Field. In addition, certain campus roadways and walkways will be fenced off, changing accessibility routes. The California State University system issued funds from bonds and other sources specifically for these renovation projects, and the funds are separate from HSU’s operating budget. Both the Library and Theatre Arts buildings have been ranked at the highest priority on the CSU Seismic Priority List, which identifies the buildings that the CSU Seismic Review Board determines need “seismic upgrade as soon as resources can be made available.” The buildings are currently safe, but the revisions will improve the safety and integrity of the buildings based on engineering models of a very large earthquake. The retrofit projects will include completion of seismic elements, such as modifying walls and strengthening columns and doorways, to achieve the seismic strengthening required to mitigate the hazards identified by the Review Board; installation of code compliance upgrades like improving the accessibility of parking, restrooms,
elevators, and drinking fountains; and improved efficiency in building operations. The retrofit projects will begin this spring and continue through the 2018-19 academic year. During construction, the Theater Arts building and the basement of the Library will be closed, the first floor of the Library will be partially vacated, and the neighboring houses will need alternative space when the project impact becomes too disruptive. Due to the scale of displacement, there was not adequate available space on campus to absorb the people, programs, and services that needed to be temporarily relocated during construction. Some areas will move into existing available space on campus, including Jenkins Hall, Gist Hall, and other parts of the Library. Others will be relocated to the Campus Events Field. On the east side of the Events Field, there will be significant work including installation of 12 modular units, with walkways that connect the units together and to the surrounding campus. This area will have three classrooms, new wireless access throughout, and a modular building with restrooms. Below is the current schedule for this project: • Spring 2018—Prepare the Events Field with needed utilities, foundation sections, and install the modular buildings. Continue other support projects for the relocation effort in Gist Hall, Jenkins Hall, and the Library. Finalize the design documents for the Library and Theatre Arts projects. • Summer 2018—Complete the infrastructure improvements and move occupants into the new mod-

ular building locations at the Events Field. Move all remaining people, furniture, and equipment to new locations at the other designated areas on campus. Install construction fence line and signage to designate project boundaries and alternative routes of travel. Library and Theatre Arts Seismic Projects put out to bid, and a general contractor is selected. • Fall 2018-Summer 2019—Construction phase. • Summer 2019—Both projects are to be substantially completed so that people, programs, and services can be moved back into their space and prepared for the 2019-20 academic year. • Fall 2019—Seismic projects to have any outstanding work completed and both projects closed out. Events Field will have the modular buildings removed, and the field restored. Students may already be seeing classrooms listed in the Fall 2018 class schedule as “CEF” — this refers to the Campus Event Field modular buildings with the corresponding number. In addition, the CEF spaces have been added to 25Live. Not all of the relocation spaces have been assigned yet, so please look for campus announcements or visit facilitymgmt. humboldt.edu/library-seismic-retrofit-relocation-project for a final list of departments that have been moved and their new locations. These changes will also be reflected in the campus directory. In addition, new maps of the campus are being developed to show the CEF spaces, as well as road and pathway closures. Accessibility routes will change, so please pay close attention to these and contact the Student Disability Resource Center if necessary. The maps will be posted online at humboldt.edu/maps.

PUBLIC SAFETY Arcata man arrested on attempted murder charge California HigHway Patrol
HUMBOLDT COUNTY – On the evening of April 4, 2018 the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Dept. was involved in a pursuit with a white Jeep Compass rental car which was reported to be occupied by a suspect of an attempted homicide which had occurred in Tennessee. At approximately 3:58 p.m., CHP officers took over as the primary units of the pursuit as it continued southbound on US-101, south of Stafford Road. The pursuit continued southbound at speeds in excess of 100 MPH. Several attempts were made to deploy spike strips, but the suspect vehicle was able to avoid them each Cortez Lamont time by driving into the opposing Little lanes of traffic. The suspect vehicle exited at Mattole Road and continued driving recklessly at varying speeds. The vehicle eventually came to a stop near the intersection with Wilder Ridge Road and a felony car stop was initiated. Two males and one female were taken into custody at the scene. The driver of the suspect vehicle has been positively identified as 27-yearold Cortez Lamont Little of Arcata. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, in Williamson County Tennessee, confirmed an outstanding arrest warrant for Little for Felony Criminal Christopher Attempted First Degree Murder. Little Mallory was booked in the Humboldt County Jail and is being held pending extradition to Tennessee. The female passenger was not charged and was released. The male passenger was identified as 26-year-old Christopher Mallory. Mallory was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Jail for resisting arrest and possession of marijuana for sales. The California Highway Patrol and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the public for their help in locating Cortez Little. Anyone having additional information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Humboldt Area CHP office at (707) 822-5981.
Cig stuffed in siding almost burns up the Alibi arCata fire
ARCATA – Arcata Fire District was called to a reported structure fire at the Alibi on the Plaza Wednesday, April 4 10:14 p.m. Engine 8215 out of the Arcata Fire Station arrived on scene within minutes of receiving the call and reported that evacuations were in progress. They made contact with the manager of the Alibi who stated that the fire was in the wall. Fire Captain Lillard and his crew located the Fire in the exterior wall in front of the business. The crew made an aggressive attack by cutting open the wall and extinguishing the small fire. Engine 8211 from the Mad River Station and Battalion Chief Gomes
“I don’t think any human being deserves a statue,” Pitino said. “When you put up a human, you’re always going to have problems.” That resonated with Carlson’s populist skepticism about ennobling politicians with monuments. “You’re kind of winning me over a little bit with that argument,” Carlson said. “We shouldn’t be honoring politicians, Even the good ones are not that good,” he added, though he referred to it as “kind of an Islamic point, but still a pretty good point.” Carlson further faulted Pitino for the council action on the statue via use of the popular Tu Quoque logical fallacy, asking whether the council had solved all of Arcata’s other problems first. “No one chooses microwave burritos over Brussels Sprouts?” Carlson asked. But Pitino also endorsed in principle the initiative process now being pursued by citizen David LaRue and Councilmember Michael Winkler, among others. Pitino said that if citizens don’t like the council’s action, they can put it to a vote. “It can be simply a thousand signatures and it will be on the ballot,” Pitino said. For her part, Mayor Sofia Pereira turned down three separate requests to appear on Fox News, preferring instead to immerse herself in city issues – including scraping garbage out of the feces-infested trash pits of Valley West. Petition backer and creator of the “Let the People Vote on the McKinley Statue” Facebook page David LaRue also appeared on Fox & Friends,
The combination of the two factors helped to save a $2 million building, not including the attached adjacent building that could have been involved as well. Due to the location of the incident, several neighboring agencies were initially dispatched to assist; Humboldt Bay Fire, Cal Fire, and Blue Lake Fire, although cancelled, as the fire was extinguished quickly. The Cal Fire engine that was dispatched, covered the McKinleyville Station while the Arcata Fire units finished cleanup and investigation at the Alibi. Arcata Fire District reminds people to fully extinguish cigarettes and place them in the proper disposal receptacle.
Police track down, arrest attempted murder suspect arCata PoliCe
ARCATA – In July of 2017, the Arcata Police Department responded to the report of a shooting at a house party in the 200 block of 12th Street. The incident resulted in one subject being shot in the leg. Investigators identified Elijah Stonebear Williams, 20, of Fortuna as the suspect in the shooting.
Over the past months, investigators, assisted by the Fortuna Police Department, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, the Humboldt County Drug Task Force and the U.S. Marshal’s Service, have worked toward locating Williams. Numerous search warrants were served and dozens of locations explored in an attempt to lo-
cate Williams. On Thursday, April 5, following the search of a residence in Arcata where Williams had been recently staying, Williams surrendered to officers from the Fortuna Police Department. Williams was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of attempted murder.

arrived shortly after and assisted with checking for fire that may have extended into the Sidelines Bar. No extension was found and the fire was contained to the wall of the Alibi, however, it appeared that the fire had been burning in the wall for some time. After contacting the security guard from the Sidelines, it was learned that a cigarette was found stuck in a small hole in the exterior siding. The fire loss was minimal, with an estimated loss of $5,000 in damage to the building. Battalion Chief Gomes reports, “The fire was discovered very early and quickly extinguished, although the outcome would have been very different if the fire would have gone unnoticed.”
where he confidently predicted that, with regard to the council’s statue decision, “We are going to stop it.” LaRue subsequently said he won’t be talking on the record to the press any more, instead focusing on acquiring valid petition signatures once the ballot title and summary are approved. If it is, the petitioners will have until May 29 to collect 961 valid signatures to ensure ballot placement, Even Bush-era political strategist Karl Rove weighed in with a piece in the Wall Street Journal titled, “The Pitchforks Are Out for McKinley.” Rove concluded that the council’s decision was “so warped that only willful ignorance and runaway political correctness explains their destructive action.” At the City Council meeting, citizen Joel Morrison conflated the right-wing and racist statue supporters with the overall pro-statue movement, telling Winkler he has failed to “explicitly distance yourself” from the racists. In response, Winkler did exactly that. “I definitely don’t support racism or racist statements by our supporters,” Winkler said. “I condemn any racist statements by people who claim to support us. I condemn white supremacy and don’t want support from white supremacists. I don’t consider any racial or ethnic group to be superior to another. From our point of view, our campaign is to put the decision on the statue in the hands of the citizens through a binding ballot measure. I don’t believe that the decision to keep the statue or to support a public vote on the statue is in itself racist.” Winkler said that he would address
Commenting on the redwoods emphasis, Fennell said cannabis could complement it. “When people in Napa advertise wine, they’re not just talking about drinking, they’re talking about drinking in a beautiful environment, so we’ve got both here,” she said. Supervisor Rex Bohn is on the bureau’s board of directors and he said
any racist statements made by initiative supporters, but that “I can’t control statements from people that are not connected to the campaign.” The statue matter came up at Friday’s meeting of American legion Post 274. The post is exploring the idea of adopting McKinley when he is removed from the Plaza. While the matter has been held over for further discussion among members of American Legion Post 274, opinions voiced so far are as varied as those elsewhere in society. Former Legion Commander Al Toste forcefully defended the statue and its placement on the Plaza. “It was a gift to the City of Arcata,” Toste said. “That’s got to go to a vote. It’s the American Way... not a dictatorship.” Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2542 Commander Phil Irvine said he opposed re-siting the statue at the Veterans Memorial Building, in part because he would have to clean up the inevitable vandalism it would suffer. Legionnaire Phillip Nicklas said it would be “very appropriate” to host anti-slavery Civil War veteran McKinley at the Vets Hall. “Everyone is a mixed bag, including him,” Nicklas said. Chaplain Leonard Shumar said re-siting McKinley away from Wiyot territory wasn’t logical because “This whole area, from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, was Indian land.” “I think democracy needs to happen,” said VFW Commander Jeff Sterling, who is part Siskiyou Indian. “For the City Council to take a vote from the people is wrong.” With that, the statue matter was tabled until June, when the results of the petition drive will be known.

cannabis tourism has been a topic of discussion and he expects a “lively discussion” on it at the next bureau board meeting. During the presentation, Smithers reported that the countywide bed tax collection rate for the fiscal year that ended last June increased by 17.5 percent, a $2.1 million revenue increase from the previous year.
McK’s MARE working with local schools to expunge racism Jack Durham Mad river Union
McKINLEYVILLE – An effort to confront and try to put an end to racism continues in McKinleyville. At its March 28 meeting, the McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee received an update on the efforts of a group called the McKinleyville Alliance for Racial Equity (MARE). The group is made up of numerous community leaders representing various organizations including school administrators, health care providers, American Indian organizations and various McKinleyville residents. McKMAC member Craig Tucker, who is a member of MARE, said the group has held ongoing meetings and recently held a two-day training for its members on diversity and racial equity. The group, Tucker said, is planning to hold some upcoming talks and movie
nights, although no specific dates have been selected. MARE member Dennis Mayo, who is an elected member of the McKinleyville Community Services District Board of Directors, was optimistic about the group’s work. “Not only is it a work in progress, but with those of us there, it’s a work in progress for us as well,’ Mayo told the committee. “I’ve got great hope for it, ”Mayo said. “We’re slowly but surely doing the foundational work.” Tucker said he is particularly impressed with the efforts of MARE member Roger Macdonald, who is the superintendent of the Northern Humboldt Union High School District, and Julie Giannini Previde, the principal of McKinleyville Middle School. An update on the efforts of MARE is a standing agenda item for almost all meetings of the McKMAC.

OPINION Smoked out on the schoolyard
Dear City of Arcata and the Mad River Union, On Thursday, March 29, the Union Street Charter School playground was extremely smoky due to the controlled burn by the city, of which we had no warning. The smoke gave me a terrible migrane and several bloody noses. Some people may also have asthma or other health issues that could be triggered by excessive smoke. If they know before, they can prepare. In the future, please warn the community about controlled burns. Rose Callahan, 9 years old Arcata Note: The burn took place at the Lanphere Dunes, part of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex operated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. According to the North Coast Air Quality Management District, the project’s smoke management plan included notifications to local agencies, but that may not have happened. An Air Quality official said what happened is “not the norm” and that the district is addressing the matter. –Ed.

v LETTERS The importance of career and college centers in high schools
More than ever, today’s students need help and encouragement to figure out the next step after high school in order to be contributing members to our community. Arcata High School’s Career & College Center (C&CC) helps our local students and families with career assistance and college advising so they may be successful posthigh school. Jackie Foote was instrumental in starting the C&CC nearly 25 years ago as a volunteer when it was clear there was a need for students to receive extra one-to-one counseling support to explore future options. Choosing a path after high school has become increasingly challenging in our changing world and high school career and college centers help guide students to the right track based on interests and abilities, but school funding has not kept up with this need. Currently, Arcata High is the only local school to host its own C&CC; however; it relies on donations from the community to stay open. The center is run by Darcy Robins, a trained career counselor, who works in conjunction with Jim Ritter’s Ca-

ArcAtA’s NicArAguAN coNNectioNs Turning beer into water for our Sister City Janine Volkmar MAd river Union
CAMOAPA, NICARAGUA – If you have gone to any I Block party in the last 30 years – you know, that fun party with beer, food, music, and old friends always held on Labor Day next to Los Bagels – you have magical powers. Your beer buying habits have turned beer into water for Arcata’s sister city, Camoapa, Nicaragua. That’s a great trick. Imagine a hospital where you are a health care worker or a patient and imagine that hospital only having water for one hour per day. That has been the reality in Camoapa for years. Now, because of the monetary support from the I Block parties, the efforts of the Sister City organizations in both Arcata and Camoapa, and the skilled volunteers from Engineers Without Borders, the Camoapa hospital has water. Lots of water. The wells are flowing and there is water 24 hours a day. Heberto Mejia, his son Heberto Jr., and Jorge Luis Martinez recently made the trip from Camoapa to Arcata to convey their heartfelt thanks in person. Antonio Llanos, a professional engineer who works in Arcata and volunteers with Engineers Without Borders, and Dennis Kalson, a longtime Sister City volunteer, translated for this interview with Heberto Mejia. “The community of Camoapa really appreciates all the efforts of the Engineers Without Borders and the Sister City organizers and really appreciates the community of Arcata for supporting the fundraising events,” Mejia said. Mejia is the President of the Sister City Association in Camoapa and has been a member for 12 to 13 years. He visited Arcata in 2015 and I was fortunate to interview him then. (Union, Sept. 9, 2015). He is the most sincere human being I have ever interviewed. Mejia and the citizens of Camoapa have a lot to be happy about with the new wells. The water situation has been a problem for many years and has, at times, been mired down in both practical and political problems. “This
was a struggle for many years,” Mejia said. Four dry holes in ten years and a small amount of strictly rationed water from the city system all added up to “serious problems for the hospital.” Mejia credits the Engineers Without Borders for sticking with the effort and bringing it to a solution. “High quality water is now a reality for the hospital, thanks to the work of the Engineers Without Borders in partnership with
going, he feels. It’s a program that has been going for almost 33 years. That’s a lot of parties and a lot of beer. The funds raised over the years have supported the library, a child development program, and a women’s center with job training, legal services, and psychological services, as well as the infrastructure projects. What’s the next big need? Sewage and drainage. Mejia described the

the Sister City project,” he said. Engineers Without Borders is a unique organization that combines the skills and experience of 20 to 25 professional engineers and the enthusiasm and young energy of five or six engineering students at Humboldt State University. Members of the group have made three trips to work on the well problem. “Every time we go down, the people of Camoapa provide home stays for everyone,” Llanos said. Llanos works at Michael Love & Associates in Arcata, primarily working on stream restoration and salmon habitat. He’s an HSU graduate. He talked about the ongoing connection with the cities. “A few families from Humboldt have gone to visit recently. One family’s daughter was inspired to do a fundraising event at her school,” he said. Developing personal connections for the cities will keep the programs
problem in Camoapa. There are three small streams that run in drainage courses through the city. They are heavily polluted with garbage, wastewater, and trash. He said that the solution rests in the hands of many different actors: the municipal government and the community itself, Engineers Without Borders for technical assessment, and the Sister City organization in Arcata for support. “The municipal government is starting construction of a sanitary landfill. This would start an awareness of the problem,” he explained. The Arcata/Camoapa link was the first city project in Nicaragua and is still the longest continuous running project in Nicaragua. Let’s keep it that way. Please mark your calendars now for the next I Block party, Monday, Sept. 3, 2018. Viva the Sister City Project!

Playhouse hosts ‘Basket Case’ clown
GIRLS LOVE SCIENCE The HSU chapter of the Society of Women Engineers welcomed Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts for a day of STEM fun on Sunday, March 25. This is the 15th year this event has brought Girl Scouts together with college students to demonstrate that girls can love science too. In addition to the always challenging fun of the “egg drop,” girls were introduced to coding and two other design challenges that required them to use spaghetti to build domes and rulers and rubber bands to build helping hand reaching tools. Nearly 50 girls came from all over Humboldt and Del Norte including Crescent City, Fortuna, McKinleyville, and Arcata. Up next, the HSU Oceanography Club is running a Marine Day event at the lab in Trinidad for local Girl Scouts in April. Photo by Cheryl Kingham

Roy Zimmerman brings his live concert “ReZist,” back to Humboldt County on Monday, April 16 at 7 p.m. at the Humboldt UU Fellowship, 24 Fellowship Way, Bayside (off Jacoby Creek Road). Zimmerman’s original songs incite progressives to howling laughter. ReZist is 90 minutes of Zimmerman’s original songs, a funny and forceful affirmation of Peace and Social Justice. “Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression,” says Roy, “because in calling out the world's absurdities and laughing in their face, I'm affirming the real possibility for change.” New songs on recent national events will be part of the program.
ReZist Roy Zimmerman
Roy’s videos have garnered tens of millions of views. Joni Mitchell says: “Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection.” Roy tours the country with his wife and co-writer Melanie Harby. The public is invited to attend. $20 or what you can pay at the door. HSU students, $10. royzimmerman.com, office@ HUUF.org, (707) 822-3793.

e are expected to get a few sunny days over the next week, though we all know that weather forecasts here in Humboldt County change almost daily. As we hope for sunnier days, here are some activities to participate in for the Blue Lake Community. The first ever Friday Night Magic Draft in Blue Lake will take place on Friday the 13th from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Mad River Grange, located at 110 Hatchery Rd., Blue Lake. The cost is $15; prizes are available and 5 hours of fun. For those who are not interested in participating in the draft, but want to bring their cards and play, open space will be available for a donation. Saturday the 14th of April is Opening Day for the Blue Lake/Fieldbrook Little League. Come on out and support the kids starting with the parade, which will go down Chartin Road, South Railroad, and Broderick, followed by the Jamboree in Iorg Field. And as we still hope for sun, on Sunday the 15th, Blue Lake Parks and Recreation will be hosting a free drop in Bocce Ball event from 1 to 3 p.m. If you have your own bocce set, please bring it, otherwise some balls will be available to use. The courts are in a little need of maintenance, and will be done as soon as we have some dry weather. While most times in Humboldt we don’t cancel for the rain, this event will be canceled if there are significant amounts of rain. And speaking of Parks and Recreation, I am pleased to announce that the City has hired on a new Parks and Recreation director. Nathan Sailor, who is a local Blue Laker and previous tap room manager at the Mad River Brewery, began full time as the Parks and Recreation director this week, and we are excited to have him a part of the City’s team! If you get a chance, stop by and introduce yourself to him. Happy spring!

Featured on the program will be two works for solo piano, one by Aidan Sanborn-Petterson and the other by Charles McClung, a piece for brass choir by Adam Erickson, a string quartet by Sabrina Fisher, and a work for cello and piano, also by Sabrina Fisher, and played by professor Garrick Woods and staff accompanist John Chernoff. Arrive early so you don’t miss the studio’s collaborative electro-acoustic composition called “Qin Jam” which features eight performers on a variety of instruments. CLASSICAL GUITAR Join the HSU Department of Music and guitar teacher Nicholas Lambson for an intimate evening of music composed for the classical guitar and played by the students of the HSU guitar studio on Saturday, April 14 at 8 p.m. in Fulkerson Recital Hall. $10 General, $5 Senior/Child, FREE for HSU students with ID. The concert will include a concerto for guitar, two duets, and two quartets. One quartet is a famous piece of music by Maurice Ravel, who was similar to Claude Debussy. It has a few surprises, but in general it is a beautiful piece and the balance and tone of the new instruments elevates it to the next level. Another quartet is a modern piece by a Cuban composer, Leo Brouwer. It is basically a musical depiction of a storm, from a few sprinkles, to a downpour, to gusts of wind, perhaps an eye of a hurricane, and hail! Also on the program is the very first guitar concerto ever written. Mauro Giuliani originally wrote this for guitar and orchestra, which was a shocking concept at the time.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION College of the Redwoods is holding a Women in Construction event Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Applied Technology building on the CR Eureka Main Campus, 7351 Tompkins Hill Rd. The event will demonstrate how women can have challenging high skill careers and gain knowledge necessary to repair their own homes. Women in Construction will include demonstrations on carpentry, woodworking, wiring, drywall repair, drafting, and estimating. There will also be a discussion about storm water management by Dena McCullough of McCullough Construction. This event is free and open to members of the public of all ages. The event was created by CR’s Derek Glavich, who over-
Her formal educational background in Economics, Music and Asian Studies does not include medical services, but that is, indeed, what Oldfather supported when she "overheard" of a local need for medical services. She has been called the "mother" of the North Country Clinic, which is now a part of the Open Door Clinic. She continues to serve on the Board of Directors for Open Door, is involved as a volunteer with the Breast and GYN Project, and helps with Food for People. She is an early supporter of the Northcoast Environmental Center. Oldfather has been a music mainstay at KHSU with her Classical Corner program for a number of years from which she recently retired. She plays the piano for many fundraisers and in accompaniment to many other musicians, has worked with the Humboldt Music Academy and provides music lessons.
sees the construction program and the annual building of CR’s home for sale. Glavich said, “There is absolutely no reason why more women shouldn’t join the trades. They are in high demand by local employers who know women have the grit and skills to get the work done.” Nearly 10,000 people a day turn 65 and the trades are hard pressed to find skilled employees to replace retirees. Women make up 9 percent of the construction industry workforce, but only 2 percent are carpenters. Come out for CR’s annual plant sale and drop by the Women in Construction event right next door to the greenhouse. For additional information, call CR’s Career Education Program at (707) 476-4341.

O BITUARY James Mac Sorter
eloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother and Friend, James Mac Sorter (Jim) passed away peacefully at his home on March 30, 2018. He was a lifelong educator and esteemed public school administrator whose positive impacts on the local students and teachers he worked with will be felt for many years. In retirement, Jim loved to travel the world and was especially fond of his work with the Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde, Marine Turtle Preservation Project in San Pancho, Mexico. At home he worked with the homeless, serving meals, and providing clothing and community to those in need. He was extremely proud to be an active member of the Humboldt Bay Veterans for Peace Chapter 56 where he volunteered as the editor for the monthly newsletter “The Foghorn” and happily spent many windy, cold hours working on the original peace ship, the Golden Rule when she was moored in Samoa,
California. He is survived by his wife, sister, three sons, step-daughter and numerous grandchildren. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. A celebration of Jim Sorter’s life will be held on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 3 p.m. at the Redwood Lounge at Redwood Park in Arcata, California. In lieu of flowers, friends and family are encouraged to make a donation to the Veterans for Peace, Chapter 56 Golden Rule Project. vfpgoldenruleproject.org/

like Lucy really comes in handy! We walked Seamus with Lucy and though he was quite excited at first, he quickly settled in and displayed appropriate behavior with her, even trying to get her to play with him at the end. In subsequent walks we have discovered that it appears he was trained to heel and sit; the stress of the shelter sometimes makes dogs forget their manners and it is exciting to discover that they do in fact have some. Seamus loves attention and can be very cuddly. He has a terrier coat that appears to be of the no-shedding variety. He is only about two years old and about 50 pounds. He looks most like the images of Irish Terriers, though they seem to be much smaller. He is a lean and leggy guy. We are confident that he would do well with a female dog companion, and a male might be a possibility as we continue to work on his doggie social skills, which just seem a little rusty. I think that he just wants to play and is excited about seeing other dogs. Seamus is still at the shelter as we go to press and could use a foster or adoptive home.
