Z-bucks dry up as Council taking up Plaza street closure, KHSU county’s revenue falls Mad RiveR Union
Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT– Revenue from Humboldt County’s Measure Z public safety sales tax is down this year, leaving only $3.5 million for new funding items. This year’s list of Measure Z allocations does include a range of public safety improvements, however, including funding for firefighting equipment and facilities, and continued funding for a school resource officer and two juvenile diversion counselors for the Arcata/ McKinleyville area. The county’s Board of Supervisors directed staff to work the items into the coming year’s Measure Z budget. Revenue is estimated at $10.5 million, a reduction from previous years due to the county’s nine percent drop in sales tax income. Most of it will go toward funding law enforcement-related and other previously-allocated staff positions. Glen Ziemer, who chairs the advisory committee that developed the list of recommended funding
items, described this year’s tight Measure Z budgeting. He said that $15 million of funding requests have been reviewed and considering the amount of available funding, “You can imagine there are going to be a lot of disappointed folks.” Among them is the City of Arcata, whose requests for disaster shelter back-up generators, road repair equipment and radar feedback traffic signs are unfunded. Also unfunded is a staffing and operations assistance request from the McKinleyville-based AJ’s Transitional Living Center residential addiction recovery program. And unlike previous years, this year’s Measure Z funding doesn’t include money for road improvements. Commenting on that, Supervisor Estelle Fennel said the cost of ongoing staffing is a factor “but it’s also a drop in revenues.” Measure Z isn’t the only income source that’s down. Measure S cannabis tax revenue is in “a huge drop” because of a policy Z

Arcata Bowl owners win massive lawsuit Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – A Los Angeles County jury has awarded $4.4 million to the family of a former Arcata Bowl owner, Donald Vanni, according to a press release by legal firm Waters Kraus & Paul. The jury found asbestos supplier Honeywell International Inc. responsible for Donald Vanni’s mesothelioma and death
due to asbestos-laced bowling balls. Donald and Fred Vanni co-owned and operated Arcata Bowl bowling alley for 30 years, from 1957 to 1986. The alley closed in 2001. One of Vanni’s responsibilities, say the attorneys, was drilling custom-fit finger holes in bowling balls. ARCATA BOWL

Z | $350,000 in funding cuts FROM A1
that allows producers to hold off on paying taxes until next year, said Fennell. “We don’t know how this whole transition is going to go but the whole concept behind giving those businesses a break is to make sure they can be solid into the future and be a dependable revenue source,” she continued. Among the funding recommendations is about $40,000 to upgrade KMUD radio’s emergency broadcasting equipment. Supervisor Mike Wilson said that “during times of emergency, KMUD is one of the places where people get their primary source of information” and “they’ve been very, very good at that.” Wilson added that with the discontinuation of KHSU radio, “It’s even more important that we
have those community radio stations that are able to do that.” Supervisor Virginia Bass queried whether KMUD needs the funding immediately. Fennell, who was KMUD’s news director during the 2003 Canoe and Honeydew fires and was lauded for her public information work, said the station’s emergency broadcasting is “a lifeline for many people and “I believe that they need that money ASAP.” Supervisors were faced with a dilemma – after the advisory committee developed its recommendations, revenue estimates were revised and the board had to make $350,000 in cuts. The county’s Fire Chiefs Association offered to take a $100,000 cut from its $1.7 million allotment and with other adjustments, the shortfall was whittled to about $209,000. Instead of cutting the Measure Z budget, supervisors directed staff to identify other county budget sources for the reduction. Board Chair Rex Bohn was only supervisor to vote against approval of the advisory committee’s recommendations, due to the lack of road funding. Supervisors will make definitive approvals when they review the county’s budget in June.

Council | Resolution asks new HSU president to restore station FROM A1
streets to vehicular traffic during the Plaza’s Saturday Farmers Market. The restrictions would remain in place until 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Through traffic would be restricted via use of traffic cones and signs, while vendors would be “encouraged” to park in the nearby Tri-Counties Bank and Pauli-Shaw Insurance lots to free up handicapped parkings spaces and loading zones. The partial closure has been opposed by Pla-
za merchants and AMS. Citing results of surveys, meetings, interviews and last year’s three trial closures, most Plaza retailers are concerned about parking reductions cutting into their Saturday business. Many brick-and-mortar businesses already consider the Saturday market as negatively impacting their clientele, and have voiced resentment about the farmers taking over the common space each week. Some advocate moving the Farmers Market to another location.
KHSU The council will also consider Resolution No. 189-55, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Encouraging the California State University Chancellor to Ensure the New Humboldt State University President Works with the Community to Reestablish KHSU as an Integral Part of the University and Our Local Regional Communities.” The proposed resolution responds to the Humboldt State administration’s ac-
tions of April 11, when it fired most of the radio station’s staff, suspended volunteer programs and made the station, at least initially, largely a platform for National Public Radio. The ending of decades of programming tradition was met by significant pushback by the affected volunteers and staff, and inspired a letter signed by State Sen. Mike McGuire, Assemblymember Jim Wood, retired Sen. Wes Chesbro and Retired Assemblymember Patty Berg.
Arcata Bowl | Asbestos dust used to make bowling balls FROM A1
States the press release, “Asbestos, used as a filler in plastic Ebonite bowling balls, was supplied by Honeywell in the form of discarded brake lining dust. The brake dust was the waste product of Honeywell’s Bendix brake manufacturing plant in Troy, New York. In the late 1960s, documents show that the Bendix plant was generating 15 tons of asbestos-laden brake dust each day...
Honeywell opted to sell it as a filler in commercial products, including Ebonite bowling balls. “Donald Vanni routinely drilled Ebonite balls in a small room, with no protection, for years. No one ever told the Vannis that the Ebonite balls contained asbestos.” Vanni was diagnosed with pericardial mesothelioma in 2012, and died in 2013, leaving behind two adult sons and his wife of 55 years. The press
release says that the jury found that Honeywell’s asbestos waste presented “a danger to persons using the products as intended,” and that Honeywell failed to adequately warn of the potential risks. Honeywell’s negligence was a substantial contributor to Donald’s mesothelioma, the jury found.. On April 19, 2019, the jury awarded $4,397,716 to the Vanni family, finding Honeywell International Inc., 40 percent liable.

stores around the country. During the Great Recession, nearly 500 of those stores closed. Other market factors also have changed significantly since the recession, causing rising overhead costs, dwindling markets, and supply chain complications. Unfortunately, the company never fully recovered from those difficulties despite improved economic conditions.” Remaining inventory was sold over the weekend at a clearance sale in the Fire & Light showroom, and online. Concluded the FLO posting, “We have been honored to work with a great group of people here at Fire & Light. We are like a family. Many of us have worked together for more than 15 years – and in some cases, more than 20. Fire & Light’s employees are talented, hard-working people who gave it their all. They put their hearts and souls into making a good quality product and taking care of our customers. We are forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. We have also been blessed by tremendous community support and we thank you. Thank you to all our customers who purchased our glassware and continue to use it every day. Thank you to our suppliers, vendors, landlords, economic development agencies, the City of Arcata, lenders, friends and supporters. You all have been patient, supportive, and encouraging. Fire & Light has recycled over 9 million bottles and jars and turned what was once thrown into the garbage into beautiful glassware that now adorns tables around the country. We could not have done that without ALL of you.”

Regardless of whether that operation was consummated, the stick figure may now count among his life attainments creating a sentence never said before in the history of the universe. 4 p.m. An unknown opportunivore on Roberts Way espied a black and yellow electric drill and took it, leaving behind by way of compensation some garbage and a pair of children’s jeans. 7:10 p.m. A cocktail-addled hangabout positioned himself in front of a downtown donuteria, harassing some passersby and following others based on abstruse criteria. Uncannily, the one-dolt abuse dispenser appeared as a disembodied torso in a gray sweatshirt hovering over tattooed calves, though that could have been due to the concealment powers of his camouflage shorts. • Tuesday, April 23 11:28 a.m. Unless the stick-wielding figure from three items back has diversified expertise in bizarro buffoonery, it was a different bandanna-emboldened loafabout who lingered at Ninth and H streets, “air humping” a fire hydrant. 11:43 a.m. A lodger in a Valley West motel room turned out to be deceased. The coroner was summoned. 11:55 a.m. A meals-on-wheels delivery driver discovered a client deceased. Again the coroner was called. 6:55 p.m. An alcohol-inspired motorist’s creative driving resulted in multiple collisions into parked vehicles on J Street between Ninth and 10th streets, but just one arrest.

Police were called to deal with the sleeping bag-ensnuggled sleeper outside the X-ray department. 10:33 a.m. Despite the field trial being an uncontrolled sample of one, science now tells us with some confidence that leaving a backpack containing medicine and other valuables in an unlocked car at a Valley West golden arches will result in regret and tedious insurance reports that require a case number. 3:03 p.m. Patrons of a Valley West drug house demonstrated impatience with convention by leaving boring, old school walkways and sidewalks unused, instead burrowing right through the damn fence to get to an adjacent property. 6 p.m. A frenzied nimrod in a purple shirt and black shorts darted about out front of a Valley West motel, zooming on and off the motel’s grounds, yelling at passersby (always mandatory) and running in and out of traffic. Police couldn’t find him... 6:38 p.m. ...probably because they didn’t inspect the front area of a nearby oriental buffet, where he was busy pestering the clientele. At last the empurpled people-bleater was arrested.
A Humboldt State student’s perspective on the Arcata Fire District
L
ate at night, I often hear the low, yet urgent hum of a local fire truck’s siren. Many of us are immune to the sound of a siren. We brush it off as just another response to tragedy, but lately I’ve been thinking about the humans who respond to tragedy – the cape-less heroes we should be paying more attention to. Recently, I attended a small meeting at the

also feel more secure and at ease in the case of any sort of emergency you may have to deal with. Right now, the Arcata Fire District is comprised of three fire stations – Arcata, Mad River, and McKinleyville – located within its 62 square mile boundaries. These 62 square miles are broken up into five different divisions, with the City of Arcata running through Divisions 3, 4, and 5. HSU, specifically, lies in Division 4.
As HSU students and community members, one great and even enjoyable way you can actively learn more about the local fire department is by going on a tour of any one of these local fire stations. Take a small group of friends and experience the magic of the fire station and all its various aspects. The tours last for about an hour and consist of a walk through the fire station, an insight into the

OpiniOn Bumbling disregard
In the late 1970s, when the puppeteers of California State University Chancellor’s Office (CSUC) held fewer and looser ropes on Humboldt State University, I was a journalism major at HSU. I was on The Lumberjack newspaper, raking muck. I was on KHSU, writing and reading news; playing music; and hosting Talkback, KHSU’s call-in talk show. To keep a student-centered KHSU on-air 24-7 took a lot of commitment from students and faculty (and probably from administrators, but I wasn’t familiar with them). I appreciated that experience; so I understand the university’s late-to-the-game lament that KHSU has deviated from its charter to promote student involvement in the radio station.
v LETTERS But I don’t believe it. Simply put, the purported interest in enhancing student opportunities is a ruse for the university’s recent myopic dismantling of KHSU as we have come to know it. The primary problem is that HSU has become a colonial outpost in the CSUC empire – just a stop along the administrative gravy train where administrators go to maximize retirement on their way to the administrator graveyard. The KHSU debacle is the latest in a litany of recent inexplicable decisions from HSU. Before this, the Villages apartment project brought to light the university’s clandestine involvement in residential development. Before that, HSU grossly mishandled the dismissal of a Native American studies faculty member; it closed its First Street Gallery in Eureka’s Old Town; and it axed its nursing program. How could a university repeatedly take such bumbling steps with such disregard for both student learning and community relations? Easy. There is no local accountability for the HSU administration’s actions. The CSUC mothership in Long Beach is several light years away from North Coast reality. Granted, HSU has no legal obligation to be locally accountable. It does not have to be a good neighbor. And that’s the rub. HSU’s relationship with the community could be better. It could be a mutually beneficial partnership that strives to make both the university and the community better places. HSU could be more transparent and forthcoming in its goals, policies, and intentions. But it would take an administration that is not afraid of students, not afraid of being open and honest in the university’s intentions, not afraid of building bridges to the community. It would take an administration boldly committed to the betterment of HSU, its students, and the community around it. Instead of another administrator to serve as a clumsy, callous, lockstep governor for a distant throne disinterested in its holdings, we need a courageous leader whose actions are rooted in fairness, integrity, transparency, and respect. So, as we witness the intransigence of the Trump administration against any and all inquiries, I am depressed to see my alma mater act as deplorably. Though it will be burdened with sifting through the wreckage left by this one and with implementing edicts from the CSU Chancellor, I hope HSU’s next administration will care enough about its students and its neighbors to do better. Lindsey McWilliams Arcata
The river flows no more
Friends, Poets, Poetry Lovers, and Fans of Letters to the Editor, There will be no more Mad River Anthology, KHSU’s twice-monthly poetry program, which aired for over 30 years, beginning in the late seventies until about 2010, hosted during that time by Steve Miller, Jerry Martien, Nick Karavatos, Tim Ayers, Brent Jenkins, myself and others. There are no more locally-produced public affairs and arts programs on KHSU. Of course, rivers sometimes do disappear. Go underground, dry up, evaporate. Sometimes they come back. Sometimes they don’t. Seismic events, volcanic eruptions, dams, diversions, depletion or neglect can all be the cause. But our world is a closed system. Water has its cycles. Rivers play their part. As do we. And it’s the rocks that make the rivers sing. April was National Poetry Month. Thank you for listening. Thank you for reading. Be a rock. Sing your song. Vincent Peloso Fortuna
Appalled and saddened
Chancellor Timothy White California State University 401 Golden Shore Long Beach,CA 90802 Dear Chancellor White, I am appalled and saddened by the HSU administration’s decision to close down KHSU and shocked by the way the decision was implemented. I urge you to step in and provide the leadership so sadly lacking by the HSU administration. This entire crisis could have been avoided if the administration had respected that Peter Fretwell was universally disliked by the staff and volunteers because of his poor decisions based on little understanding of the culture of the community and KHSU. Now that the damage has been done as a result of Fretwell’s and the administration’s poor leadership, the university needs to remedy the situation by replacing Fretwell entirely and reinstating all the devoted staff and volunteers, who for many years have provided shows of depth, richness, and variety that we all value highly and that need to return to the airwaves. To face the university’s financial challenges, it could well look into the incredibly high salaries earned by so many administrators, not to speak of having created such an excess of administrative positions. My husband served on the faculty for 34 years, and I often enrolled as a student and was part of the community as an administrator of a local non-profit. When we moved here we believed what made HSU special was its close ties to the community. We had worked within large universities – UC Berkeley,Stanford, San Francisco State, so being part of this vibrant and community oriented university was truly exciting. HSU should not lose its support from the community (as this disruption of the station’s character and quality is now causing.) Losing the unique and creative programming made by its staff and volunteers would be a tragedy. Kate Shattuck Green Trinidad

what a heroin addict experiences—life on heroin is perceived as ‘normal’ while withdrawal pain and disruption is to be avoided. So, are we to keep on subjecting the population to the scandalous depredations of private insurance and predatory behaviors of pharmaceutical companies because so many are addicted to juicy profits? Yes, reform will be “disruptive” but it is the only way to rehabilitation, national growth and prosperity. The alternative, to continue down this path of out-of-control healthcare costs, is the road to increasing national disaster. Costs will continue to spiral, while bankruptcies, homelessness and death follows when access to health care is denied and the commonweal crumbles. America, it’s time for national rehabilitation—it’s time to join the rest of the civilized world with a universal, guaranteed, single-payer healthcare system. Support Jayapal’s HR 1384.

Franklin Graham, Mr. Wrong
Evangelical spokesperson Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son and a good friend of Donald Trump’s, has a problem with presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. He objects that Buttigieg campaigns as a practicing Episcopalian who also happens to be gay and married to his partner Chasten Glezman. Graham says that Buttigieg should repent for what he sees as the sin of being gay and that his sexual preference should not be politicized. And Graham may be right in the sense that the mostly conservative Evangelicals he represents would agree with him. But the general population would not. The acceptance of the rights of the LGBTQ community have been steadily on the increase. A national poll from February
shows that 68 percent of the respondents would be comfortable or enthusiastic about a gay or lesbian candidate while only 54 percent would feel the same about an evangelical. One need only harken back to Catholic Jack Kennedy or black Barack Obama to find two candidates who managed to overcome what many thought were fatal handicaps. And don’t forget, if it weren’t for our Electoral College system, we would have had our first female president by now. So I would say to Franklin Graham that he has a right to his own opinion, but most of us would not see Buttigieg’s gayness in the condemning Biblical terms he does. Sherman Schapiro Blue Lake

Wake up Newsie! Your task, if you decide to accept it, is to bring down the Rockefellers. I can give to you a mayor who promises he was illegally printing $money$ for the West Virginia congresswoman and J.D. Rockefeller. In May of 2017, the mayor of Greenbrier County dialed 911 after he discovered that I broke an alleged piano de-icer. He said, as I listened, “I can’t make any $money$ today.” Who wants to bring dow the Rockefellers? I know the old hand in you ain’t dead yet. 911 call, mayor’s personal cell, May 2017. They have kept me hostage for three years and terrorized my 4-year-old daughter and her household. It’s time to get full frontal assault!

The Wruck/Rossbacher wrecking ball
At long last, the pernicious Humboldt State administration is exposed for what it is: authoritarian. The toppling of KHSU has exposed this long hidden fact. The local press should pursue this disclosure with all of the investigative resources at its disposal. Editors no longer need be deferential to the campus because it’s an economic mainstay; it is very much in decline and it has betrayed the trust the community naively placed in it. Reporters will have to be tenacious. The Humboldt State bureaucracy is opaque, skilled at intrigue and stealth. It has rarely received the press scrutiny that would hold faceless and power-craving administrators accountable. All future city and community interactions with the campus “leadership” should proceed on the basis that the administration is stealthy, devious and not to be trusted. The Wruck/Rossbacher wrecking ball of KHSU was a naked power play as old and timeless as the Sibylline books: underhanded, dictatorial, non-negotiable – an authoritarianism typical of the Trump administration. The University Senate should end the pretense that it is a co-equal branch of campus government. It is long past time for senators to strip the administration of its subterfuge that it willingly and respectfully shares power with students, staff and faculty. There was nothing collegial about the savaging of KHSU. The administration’s claim that it is “student centered” and a community partner is a farce. Thomas Paine warned, “The secrets of governments, like the secrets of men, are always their defects.” HSU’s authoritarianism is no longer a secret. The press and the Senate should shine an unswerving light on the administration’s damnably dark politics. Paul Mann McKinleyville

volunteer workdAy TRAIL TOIL About 35 volunteers turned out Saturday to help maintain trails in the Arcata Community Forest from 14th Street to Redwood Park. Tasks included back filling newly built steps with quarry rock base, armoring the upper trail where it emerges on the field with quarry base, armoring the trail at the toe of the field with quarry base to eliminate a chronic muddy trail, installation of two four-inch inch flex pipe culverts with filter fabric underlay to permit field to drain, cutting and digging out several English laurel bushes, removal of about 5 cubic yards of ivy and trash pickup on Trails 1 and 2. The volunteers moved 10 cubic yards of 1.5-inch quarry base and pulled about five cubic yards of ivy. The project wasn’t quite finished, with about 5 more cubic yards of rock to roll out. City staff was to pick up the pulled ivy and roll the newly laid rock on Monday and Tuesday. The workday concluded with a burrito feast courtesy of RSVP volunteers. photoS by maureen mcGarry | rSVp

fter working as a music writer for several decades now, I’ve assembled a massive collection of records, CDs, etc. I wish I could say they’re well-organized — alphabetized or whatever — but they’re not, not at all, except a side collection of music by local artists. One corner of my office is dedicated to shelves full of CDs by Humboldt-based artists (and a few tapes), A to Z selections by artists from Absynth Q and Afromassive to Yer Dog and Robert Ziino. The other day I was talking with my friend, the musician/deejay Lyndsey Battle, about local bands. She was thinking about doing a segment of her show on KHUM featuring locals. I invited her over and we started going through my stash looking for music by folks that she hadn’t heard. We didn’t get far, maybe to the end of “D”s with the rare Dynamite Sweater demo. When she returned the discs, I asked what she’d liked best. The first one she mentioned was one she hadn’t heard before, the eponymous album by Barking Dogma, with none other than Tim “Timmy” Gray on drums and vocals, among others. Now as it turns out, Arcata Playhouse is hosting a benefit for Timmy Friday, May 3 (doors at 7 p.m., showtime at 7:30 p.m.). The musical evening, titled “Get On Board the Love Train,” will raise money
for his medical expenses. As Joyce Hough explains, “Several years ago [he] was diagnosed with a rare degenerative brain disorder which has restricted his ability to pursue his widely recognized talents as a musician and sound engineer/designer.” Even if you don’t know his name, chances are you’ve heard Timmy’s work. In addition to Barking Dogma, he was a member of Lance Romance (a long time ago), The Bayou Swamis, The Joyce Hough Band and other bands. He also recorded a mess of local bands, and served as music director for Dell’Arte for over 20 years. The upcoming Mad River Festival will feature Turning Gray Skies Blue: The Music of Timmy Gray, directed by Dell’Arte artist director Michael Fields. The Dell’Arte Company will celebrate “a lifetime of work” by their resident sound designer, with a “concert for the ages” featuring music he wrote for Mary Jane: The Musical, Blue Lake: The Opera, Wildcard, Grasshopper and the proverbial “much more!” (June 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 8 p.m.) Friday’s show at the Playhouse features the aforementioned Lyndsey Battle with Cory Goldman, Old Dog with Marty Dodd, Gary Davidson, Tom Pexton, and Dave Deason, and a solo set by guitarist/handyman Jeff Landon, who just happens to be replacing the gutters on my house as I compose this column. (He’s also been working on a new song for the show that I can’t tell you about.) Closing the show will be dance THE HUM

The pig’s the main thing at Tule Fog Farm
W
ho knew? Choosing pork over beef or chicken can make this carnivore an agent of climate change! Shail Pec-Crouse of Tule Fog Farm convinced me with both her litany of facts and her passion for the subject. “Pork should be the American meat,” she said. “Forty percent of the food we grow is wasted. On farms if food doesn’t look perfect, it’s not even harvested. At grocery stores food is thrown out by sell-by dates, even if it is still good. At home, things go bad in our refrigerators. All that food waste can feed pigs for free.” Pec-Crouse and her family are doing just that: feeding their purebred Kunekune pigs with a combination of grass and food waste from such local businesses as Slice of Humboldt Pie, Los Bagels and The Tofu Shop, to produce what she calls “sustainable swine.” “It takes fossil fuels to grow corn and soy to feed cows and chickens,”
she pointed out. “Switching to pork (that’s been fed food waste) can make a big difference in climate change.” As a cook who still uses her mother’s pork chop recipe (layers of thinly sliced onions, potatoes, lightly browned pork chops, covered to the top of the casserole with milk and baked-so succulent), I am thrilled to have an environmental reason for choosing pork. And the pork at Tule Fog’s booth at the Market was selling quickly. Tule Fog is back at the Market after being absent since 2008. Pec-Crouse and her partner, Sean Armstrong were busy raising their young children, Tule, Slate, and Phyllite, establishing their Kunekune herd, caring for 35 types of chickens, and filling orders for their CSA customers. Now that the children are older, Tule Fog is back to delight marketgoers with a variety of pork and fresh eggs. The eggs were what Armstrong called “a social justice story.” Their

CA 95521 (707) 382-8904 KIOM M. BARTLESON CLERK, BY KATRINA W, DEPUTY JULY 27, 2017 STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any in-
M ad R iveR U nion surance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. NOTICE—ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www. coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506. WARNING—IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. ÓRDENES DE RESTRICCIÓN ESTÁNDAR DE DERECHO FAMILIAR En forma inmediata, usted y su cónyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1. llevarse del estado de California a los hijos menores de las partes, o solicitar un pasaporte nuevo o de repuesto para los hijos menores, sin el consentimiento previo por escrito de la otra parte o sin una orden de la corte; 2. cobrar, pedir prestado, cancelar, transferir, deshacerse o cambiar el nombre de los beneficiarios de cualquier seguro u otro tipo de cobertura, como de vida, salud, vehículo y discapacidad, que tenga como beneficiario(s) a las partes y su(s) hijo(s) menor(es); 3. transferir, gravar, hipotecar, ocultar o deshacerse de cualquier manera de cualquier propiedad, inmueble o personal, ya sea comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o separada, sin el consentimiento escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte, excepto en el curso habitual de actividades personales y comerciales o para satisfacer las necesidades de la vida; y 4. crear o modificar una transferencia no testamentaria de manera que afecte la asignación de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consentimiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte. Antes de que se pueda eliminar la revocación de una transferencia no testamentaria, se debe presentar ante la corte un aviso del cambio y hacer una entrega legal de dicho aviso a la otra parte. Cada parte tiene que notificar a la otra sobre cualquier gasto extraordinario propuesto por lo menos cinco días hábiles antes de realizarlo, y rendir cuenta a la corte de todos los gastos extraordinarios realizados después de que estas órdenes de restricción hayan entrado en vigencia. No obstante, puede usar propiedad comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o suya separada para pagar a un abogado que lo ayude o para pagar los costos de la corte. AVISO—ACCESO A SEGURO DE SALUD MÁS ECONÓMICO: ¿Necesita seguro de salud a un costo asequible, ya sea para usted o alguien en su hogar? Si es así, puede presentar una solicitud con Covered California. Covered California lo puede ayudar a reducir el costo que paga por seguro de salud asequible y de alta calidad. Para obtener más información, visite www.coveredca. com. O llame a Covered California al 1-800-300-0213. ADVERTENCIA—IMFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado.

e have had lots of adoptions this past week! It is always so rewarding to see the dogs go off to new homes, especially the ones who have been at the shelter or in foster homes for a while. We can really see the positive effects of the training and socialization that the dogs get from working with our volunteers. One young dog, Cookie, used to jump around and make all kinds of noise when she would see another dog, leading observers to wonder whether she was dog-friendly or not. We worked on her leash manners and spent many hours finding dog friends that she could walk with, as well as exposing her to activities like scent work where she could have some fun. Cookie left the shelter on Thursday after a great meet and greet with her new doggie friend and his young family! She looked so happy after they had romped in the play yard for long enough to know it was a good match. Cookie did show off her hound skills on her last shelter walk by grabbing the biggest gopher she could find! Yuck. But I let the new adopters know about it, just in case she got carsick on the way home! They were unfazed and said they’d had a hound mix before. They did appreciate the warning! One of our Redwood Pals dogs moved a step closer to a new home this week. Mamacita has been with us the longest of our current adoptable dogs. She has been reasonably content with her routine in one of our foster homes, though her spot was in a garage kennel with breaks for backyard fetching and exercise.
This week a foster home became available for her and she has been just thrilled! She is in a home where there are lots of people coming and going and she is just loving the attention! She has been well-behaved in the house and enjoying walks in town. Though the yard is not fenced, she has been fine with a zip line set up so that she can lounge out on the porch when the doors are open. We are very happy to see her in a home and would love to see her find her forever home now. Mamacita
Mamacita is about four years old. She has had several kennel mates over her time with us and has loved some and tolerated others. She would play and play with one young male dog and was missed him when he was adopted. She loves attention in the form of petting or ball-throwing and has been good with all the people she has met. Mamacita not a big dog, just short and sturdy. She is spayed and current on all of her vaccinations. Please contact us at redwoodpalsrescue@gmail.com or leave a message on our voicemail at (707) 633-8842 if you would like to meet her. The shelter has some cute little puppies available. At least, I hope they will still be available by the time

fed. These pigs were the first Kunekune to be brought to this country from New Zealand. Armstrong explained: “They are a type of mini pig but not genetically dwarfed. They grow really slow so it’s richer, denser pig meat. They were dropped off in New Zealand by Chinese traders to the Maori. This is a pig that will follow you on a walk, sit when you sit, and hang out by the house.” Tule Fog Farm sells “pigs all over the country and to Canada because no one else had ever imported pigs from New Zealand.” It was a difficult process involving three

this hits the newsstands! Two little female Chihuahua mix puppies, Peanut and Shorty, are waiting to meet you. They are about two months old and came in with one more sibling who has already been adopted. These little girls are very friendly and healthy. We recommend that puppies this young stay in the owner’s home or yard until at least two weeks after their second DHPP vaccination, which means that these girls should not go out to the park or even on a sidewalk for about another six weeks to keep them safe from transmissible disease. That said, if you’ve been looking for a pocket-sized pup, these are the ones for you! You can see them at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter at 980 Lycoming Ave. in Mckinleyville. The shelter is open Monday through Friday.

Sign up at their booth or email tulefogfarm@gmail.com And when you go to their booth be sure to talk with the family’s oldest child,Tule Savra, who won top honors in Humboldt County at the science fair last year but “third this year.” We chatted about solar power, finding fossils, the best places to find agates, and other topics.
