Council: mediate Plaza street closures Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

SKATE PARK The McKinleyville Community Services District approved this draft design for a skate park on May 1. The dotted area would be the first phase if funding is not available for the entire park.

ARCATA – The Arcata City Council last week paused mobile home park closures, moved forward with a waste-reduction measure, recommended mediation on partial Plaza street closure during the Farmers Market and expressed support for radio station KHSU’s restoration. Mobile home moratorium The council passed an urgency ordinance suspending closure or conversion of local mobile home parks. Effective for 45 days (with a possible

22-month extension), the moratorium is intended to give the city time to craft regulations which will govern closures and conversions. Residents of local mobile home parks had objected to a draft ordinance regulating the parks, offering preferred versions adopted elsewhere. Single-use containers The council voted to develop an ordinance restricting use of plastic beverage bottles at city facilities and events including Humboldt Crabs games at the Arcata Ball Park, and to amend an existing ordinance to re-

HUMBOLDT – Disaster relief money to compensate fishermen for the severely delayed 2015 to 2016 Dungeness crab season will finally be delivered to the North Coast on June 1. The majority of $25 million in crab disaster relief funding will be used for payments to participants in the state’s Dungeness crab fishery. Most of the amount will be split between fishermen and buyers and processors, with commercial passenger vessel operators getting a small share. Payouts to fishermen from a $14.1 million share of relief money will be scaled according to the size of each crabbing permit. Permits are tiered according to numbers of crab traps. There are seven tiers and permit holders at the highest level of 500 traps will get relief payments of $42,680 per permit while those at the lowest permit level of 175 traps or less will be paid about $15,000. The long-awaited relief is coming as the Dungeness fishery bears another

MCKINLEYVILLE – Construction may begin a year from now on the long-awaited McKinleyville skate park, a project that has been pursued for two decades. The park would be built at Pierson Park, which may see a variety of other upgrades if the McKinleyville Community Services District is successful in obtaining state grant funds. Those improvements could include a giant solar array, new playground equipment, a half basketball court, public art installations and improved landscaping.

During the course of the investigation law enforcement discovered over four ounces of heroin, over six ounces of methamphetamine, 2.9 pounds of cocaine, $64,109 in cash and two vehicles were seized.

HUMBOLDT STATE – Those who wish for a restoration of radio station KHSU 90.5 FM’s local programming and community involvement are pressing their case to the university’s leadership, and could take their cause to court.

Rossbacher reportedly responded with a promise to receive the proposal “with an open mind.” Meanwhile, Community Advisory Board President Jana Kirk-Levine established an online “Friends of KHSU Legal Fund” to raise $10,000 to hire an experienced media attorney to advance the group’s goals. paypal.me/pools/c/8erfB8gBrU

Mack High grapples with suicide Jack Durham Mad RiveR Union

McKINLEYVILLE – Students and staff at McKinleyville High School are being offered counseling and support services in the wake of an apparent suicide that closed the campus on Friday, May 3. At 6:30 a.m. that morning, a janitor found a deceased student on the school quad. Law enforcement and medical responders were summoned to the campus, and parents were alerted through robocalls that classes were canceled for the day. “We are heartbroken over the death of one of our students through an apparent suicide,” said Principal Nic Collart. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and the larger community.” On Friday, May 3, grief counseling was available for McKinleyville High students, staff and community members at the McKinleyville Family Resource Center, Two Feathers Native American Family Services and the McKinleyville Teen & Community Center. “There is no easy way forward, but our first step is going to be taking care of our students, staff and school family,” Collart said on Friday. “We will continue to

provide support services at McKinleyville High School on Monday when our school reconvenes and in the days moving forward.” Due to the sensitive nature of the situation, the school is releasing minimal information. Instead, the school is providing suicide prevention resource referrals and encouraging people to seek help. “It is important for all of us to handle this situation in a thoughtful and responsible manner,” Collart said. “Therefore we are unable to release any more details at this time and we ask that you all as the local media follow the national guidelines for responsible reporting which we have available for you here.” At a press conference on Friday, a reporter was provided with information from reportingonsuicide.org, which gives tips on how to report on suicides in an effort to prevent suicide contagion, or copycat suicides, that can come from reporting that contributes to more suicides. “I’m honored to be a part of this tight knit community and I know that we will need to lean on each other,” Collart said. “I am confident in our school communities strength to do that.”

County ups mental health crisis response Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – Having gained $6.5 million in state grants, Humboldt County is setting up programs that will connect children and adults to mental health specialists based in schools and in mobile response teams. The county is one of only a few counties whose mental health programs have been funded through a $20 million round of state grants for improving responses to mental health crises. Humboldt has been awarded three grants. The most substantial is $5.2 million for partnering with the Humboldt County Office of Education to establish school-based teams of mental health clinicians in each region of the county. An additional $1.2 million enhances the staffing of the county’s adult and children’s Mobile Response Team units, which travel to where crisis stabilization services are needed. The grant-funded staffing will improve the county’s ability to reach people who need mental health services, including residents of outlying areas. “What we’re excited about, especially with the school-based grant, is having teams of mental health staff that are based in those regions and are in the schools where students are every day,” said Jeremy Nilsen, deputy director of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Mental Health Branch. He added that the mental health specialists will be able to “respond to a crisis situation or a student who is potentially heading toward a crisis and they can intervene, provide some stabilization services and then also connect them with more services and support more quickly than we were previously able to do.” Five schools in each region of the county will host the mental health services teams, which will be available for response to any school in each region. A sixth program sponsored through the Office of Education will generally focus on preschool-age services. The grant pays for 16 staffers, including clinicians, case managers and mental health supervisors. Their hiring will be split between the county and school districts. Nilsen described how the school teams will work – and the role of the county’s greater network of mental health support. The initial response to a student in crisis or at risk of one will be the beginning of a more comprehensive approach. “That team will work closely with the student

and the school and the family to talk about what kinds of long term supports the student needs,” he said. The more extensive support would include referrals to long term counseling, therapy, medication and other consistent sources of help. Nilsen said that although the county and schools have a longstanding partnership, the new program’s crisis response capability is “definitely a new path that we’re able to go down with this grant funding.” The importance of school-based services was highlighted in a June 2018 county press release that announced the state’s grant approval. “Local students and families confront mental health challenges every day both at home and school,” said Jack Bareilles, grants and evaluation administrator for the Northern Humboldt Union High School District, in the release. “This award will allow DHHS and the schools to hire school-based staff to directly serve children where they are 180 days a year—at the schools.” The adult and children’s Mobile Response Team enhancement will allow travelling county clinicians to provide direct crisis stabilization services from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The adult team’s staffing will be bolstered with the addition of two clinicians, two peer coaches and a mental health case manager. “They can go and do that full crisis assessment and do crisis stabilization and then determine if a higher level of crisis intervention is needed,” Nilsen said. Higher level of response could include hospitalization. But the work of the mobile teams reduces the need for treatment at Semper Virens, the county’s inpatient facility. “They’re really helping to divert some of those situations that typically might have filled up the Semper Virens staff with crisis stabilization and handle that more in the field, where it can happen more quickly,” Nilsen said. “That’s really helped ease the flow into Semper Virens and our crisis stabilization unit there.” Nilsen added that with the grants, the county is able to “provide crisis services more quickly, whether it’s an adult or student or a family, and connect them to the appropriate level of services more quickly and more efficiently – and hopefully prevent a future crisis.” Implementation of the school-based program and Mobile Response Team enhancements will begin soon. The process of staff recruitment is underway and some positions have already been filled.

Skate Park | Fall of 2020? FROM A1

Skate park Charlie Caldwell of the Humboldt Skatepark Collective said his organization is completing the final engineering for the park and plans to work with the MCSD to obtain construction permits, with the goal of breaking ground next spring and finishing the park by fall 2020. Although the movement to build a skate park began about 20 years ago, the high price tag of the project has hampered progress. Originally, the park was estimated to cost about $500,000. The cost is now pegged at about $606,000 for a 22,000-square-foot park, with bowls and ramps. The size of the park will depend on whether the MCSD’s grant application is successful and how much money it receives. However, Caldwell told the MCSD board on May 1 that his organization has $134,000 in the bank. Of that amount, $20,000 is set aside for engineering and permitting cost. That leaves $114,000, which Caldwell said will be used to build the first phase of the park. That means that even if the MCSD application is unsuccessful, McKinleyville will, at the very least, get a small skate park next year. Caldwell said his organization is also pursuing other grants and planning more fundraisers, so additional funds will likely be available for the park. The draft design of the park shows black concrete with bronze-colored bowls. The entire park is designed with gravity drainage, so no water pumps will be needed. The MCSD Board of Directors unanimously approved the draft design and agreed to initiate the permitting process. MCSD Director Mary Burke told Caldwell that she was pleased that the organization was looking at building the project in phases. Fellow Director Shel Barsanti expressed excitement that the project was coming to fruition. “I just say wow!” Barsanti said. “My grandkids will be thrilled.” Park grant The skate park is just one of the projects that the MCSD is trying to obtain funding for. The district is pursuing a full-court press to obtain public input as it prepares an application for a grant from the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program. Nearly $255 million will be doled out this year alone by the state. The MCSD is taking public input on what projects the public would like to pursue as it prepares the grant application. The district will hold a public

workshop on Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to noon at the McKinleyville Teen & Community Center, 1705 Gwin Rd. On Saturday, June 1, the district will have a booth at Pierson Park during Pony Express Days from noon to 4 p.m. On Thursday, June 13, the district will have a table at Pierson Park during Music in the Park from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Then, on Tuesday, July 9, an evening workshop will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the McKinleyville Teen & Community Center. All this public input will give the district more points in the competitive grant application process. If the district receives the grant, it hopes to replace and improve flooring and walls at Azalea Hall and the Activity Center and upgrade kitchen facilities. Among the playground improvements would be the replacement of playground surfaces with pourin rubber surfaces, new playground structures, playground components designed for disabled children, a half basketball court, a hydration station, bathroom renovations, public art installations and landscape improvements. The district also wants to install a solar panel system that would generate enough juice to power the entire Pierson Park campus. “It’s an ambitious project,” said Parks & Recreation Direct0r Lesley Frisbee. MCSD Manager Greg Orsini told the board that preparing the grant application is a time-consuming and complicated procedure. “The dynamics of this grant are significant,” Orsini said. “This is a very audacious ask,” he said. District staff plans to have cost estimates for the various projects completed in July, and submit the grant application in August. Azalea Hall lobby The lobby at Azalea Hall is spartan, with a lot of space, but very little use. But that’s going to change. The MCSD board voted unanimously May 1 to allow the McKinleyville Senior Center to transform the space into a warm, cozy usable space where people can lounge on couches or play cards. The senior center occupies a nearby room, which sometimes becomes crowded. The redesigned lobby area, with couches, chairs and artwork, would provide additional space for seniors and others using Azalea Hall. ‘We’d like it to be more useful and functional,” said Candra Day, the director of the senior center. “We want to be a more welcoming and friendly senior center.”

McK’s new Bigfoot Taproom breaks ground Monday Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

MCKINLEYVILLE – McKinleyville’s ability to slake your thirst is about to increase by the power of 27. That’s how many taps will be flowing with local beer, wine and cider when the Bigfoot Taproom opens in July. The new beverage mecca is being purpose-built from the ground up. It will include a tap room intended, according to the business’’s mission statement, as “a neighborhood meeting place, one that is loved by the community and enjoyed by all. A playful gathering spot for socializing with friends and family, enjoying music, creating memories and admiring the beauty of Humboldt County.” The Bigfoot Taproom will be located what is now a vacant lot at 1750 Central Avenue in McKinleyville, just north of CVS Pharmacy and south of Miller Farms Nursery, with easy access to local trails, recreational facilities and major highways. Partners Neil Cheatum, Lisa Jennings and Ray Noggle located the prime site among the limited options available in well-developed McKin-

leyville. A spot at the McKinleyville Shopping Center came with too many restrictions, so the partners went all in on a ground-up project. The taproom will be for customers 21 and over, but will host a capacious beer garden that is dog friendly. Food won’t immediately be part of the offerings, though the owners are working on that. What will be available is a dazzling array of locally produced beverages. “We really want to give everyone in the area a tap,” Jennings said. “Our aim is to provide quality beverages. A place where every customer leaves impressed and happy,” states the taproom’s mission statement. “We will strive to use locally sourced products whenever possible to minimize our carbon footprint and

strengthen the local economy. We will operate an ethical and environmentally friendly establishment, one that supports our community and creating meaningful relationships with those around us.” The business will employ two to three workers at first, and expand as needed. The endeavor is mostly self-financed, with help from family and friends but also Reprop Financial and the Arcata Economic Development Commission. “It cost a lot more than we thought it would,” Jennings said. “We’re putting out hearts and souls into it.” The groundbreaking ceremony for The Bigfoot Taproom takes place Monday, May 13 beginning at noon at the Central Avenue site. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be served.

Dungeness | Funding includes research on domoic acid FROM A1

moic acid toxin. Crabs didn’t test clear of it until several months after the season’s scheduled start. Eligibility standards for the relief are based on permit ownership and having had crab landings in any of the three season preceding the disaster or the two seasons following it. There are about 550 Dungeness crab permit holders in the state and Christy Juhasz, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Dungeness specialist, said that most of them will be eligible for relief payments. She said relief funding will help but “in no way is supposed to make anyone whole.” The disaster season’s delay eliminated peak market opportunity. “The main concern was that people lost this fishing opportunity during the scheduled time of the year that usually goes into the holiday markets,” Juhasz said. An allowance for permit holders who decided not to participate in the season accounts for that. “I heard one fishermen say that he had participated in the fishery for over 40 years and then had to take a job elsewhere to finally make ends meet, based on the length of the delay,” Juhasz said. Relief funding also includes $2.6 million for research on domoic acid, much of it for reducing future impacts and improving the state Department of Public Health’s ability to process crab samples for the toxin. About $4 million in additional disaster relief is for the 2015 Yurok tribal salmon fishery, which was seriously impacted by water flow issues and parasitic disease. Salmon abundance is improving now, however. The North Coast’s upcoming commercial Chinook salmon

season offers more fishing time, particularly in the crucial summer months which were partially or fully closed in the recent past. Ibach said that together with the relief payments, the favorable salmon season will give area fishermen a chance to rebound. “The opportunity is going to help,” he said. “The fact that there’s a very long season and a lot of opportunity for fishermen helps immensely.” He added that there will be “a very large effort shift into the salmon fishery because of the crab closure” and participation will include “a lot of fishermen who have not fished for salmon in a very long time – or have never fished for salmon – that are going to go salmon fishing this year.”

ARCATA – On Sunday, April 28 at 12:58 p.m., Arcata Police Department officers responded to HealthSPORT, 300 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, on a report of an adult male attempting to reach for a juvenile female and then making a lewd gesture towards her. The 9-year-old female survivor was roller skating in the parking lot on the west side of HealthSPORT when a white male adult approached her and extended his arms out as if to reach for the survivor. The suspect then made a lewd gesture towards the survivor before she was able to skate to safety and notify her parents.

The suspect was described as a white male adult with a black beard and black hair wearing unknown colored shorts. The suspect was last seen walking westbound on Seventh Street. At approximately 4 p.m. the same day, at the intersection of Samoa Boulevard and G Street, a male matching the same description was walking Northbound in the crosswalk across Samoa Boulevard and made a lewd gesture toward an adult female who was seated in a vehicle stopped in traffic.

Blue Lake motorcyclist dies after police chase is ended Mad river Union BLUE LAKE – A 26-yearold Blue Lake man died May 1 after he crashed a motorcycle following a high-speed chase with a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy. Dylan Lafranchi was pronounced dead that afternoon by staff at Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata. At about 1:52 p.m., a deputy was traveling eastbound on State Route 299 when he observed a male riding a motorcycle at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The deputy attempted a traffic stop at the Blue Lake exit, but the man, later identified as Lafranchi, failed to yield. The deputy then initiated a pursuit. “Due to the driver’s high speeds and the danger to the

public, the deputy terminated the pursuit at the intersection of Blue Lake Boulevard and Greenwood Road,” stated a press release from the California Highway Patrol. After the pursuit was terminated, Lafranchi continued eastbound on Blue Lake Boulevard for about a half a mile before he crashed his 2005 Kawasaki. Lafranchi was transported to the hospital with major injuries. Lafranchi’s immediate family was notified of his injuries and arrived at the hospital shortly after he did. Lafranchi died of his injuries at the hospital. The CHP is investigating the incident.

Historic preservation is also about meaningful modernization Preserving the built environment

reservation month reminds me of what it takes to be involved in saving our built environment. When I started to search for my first house in Arcata, I kept going back to 609 J St. I asked various realtors for the owner’s name of this abandoned house and no one knew. About one year later, the owner was found, and they agreed to sell. Meanwhile, we had finished building a home in Westhaven, which I could not live in since I had been elected to the Arcata City Council and needed to live within the city limits. We were living at 11th and K streets owned by the Moranda family then which is now a pizza parlor. In 1972, I started my first rehabilitation project and became the assistant to the electrician, plumber and construction worker. I learned on the job and it gave me the experience I needed for future rehabs. I did become obsessed and always found another project just waiting. There were so many buildings in need but suddenly, new comers to town latched on to the idea of rehabilating houses too and one by one, Arcata’s historic buildings started to come to life again. Therefore, I think Preservation Month in May is a time for us to reflect Alex on our accomplishments and note the work ahead of us. Stillman The following quote from the National Historic Preservation explains the value of saving the built environment to tell the story of a town’s development and create a sense of place, so we do not look like anywhere in America. “Recognizing that historic preservation fosters civic pride, maintains and improves property values, protects and enhances the area’s attraction to tourists and visitors, and provides incidental support and stimulus to business and industry, thereby strengthening the economy of the city.” The article at right on eight ways to green your historic house by Meghan White, assistant editor, Preservation Magazine, National Trust for Historic Preservation (SavingPlaces.org) helps us to not replace wooden windows, think about appropriate ways to make our historic homes more energy efficient and remember an old house is healthier than air tight new homes. The years have flown by since my first project and now a goodly portion of Arcata housing fits the Historic Preservation criteria of being 50 years or older.

HISTORIC

PRESERVATION

Eight ways to green-energize your historic house Megan White Preservation Magazine

“The greenest building is the one that’s already built,” said architect Carl Elefante, encompassing one of the major tenets of historic preservation. We often think of sustainability as something achievable only in new construction, where LEED certifications and modern technology can help reduce a building’s carbon footprint, but sustainability and historic position don’t have to live in separate worlds. However, new buildings need new materials. And that means producing them uses a lot of resources, money, and energy, not to mention that many new materials have shorter lifespans than older ones (just look at the difference between old growth and new growth wood). So when you have the opportunity to reuse a building that’s already built, it seems like a no-brainer. There are ways to green your historic house today (while preserving its historic fabric) so that it reduces energy consumption and lowers your energy bills. We take a look at a few here. 1. Conduct an energy audit. Before you start making changes to your historic house to make it more energy-friendly, you first have to understand what parts of your house need help. The best way to do this is to conduct an energy audit. One of the most popular examples is the blower door test. This test involves using a high-powered fan to take the air out of the building, which depressurizes the interior. The difference in air pressure is then measured with an air pressure gauge. As the Preservation Society of Charleston explains, “The difference in pressure causes the outside air to seek its way into the building through any cracks, drafts or unsealed openings.” That shows you where you need to seal up windows, doors, and other drafty places. 2. Don’t replace windows. One of the biggest misconceptions is that old houses are drafty because of their historic windows and that the only solution is to replace them. As the National Trust’s Research & Policy Lab (formerly known as the Preservation Green Lab) notes in their study Saving Windows, Saving Money, historic windows rarely deserve to be completely

replaced. Instead, weatherstrip them or install minimally invasive storm windows so that they keep the drafts out and lower your energy bills. The study found that retrofitting windows are the most cost-efficient way to decrease a historic house’s carbon footprint. As a bonus, old growth wood found in historic windows lasts longer than modern day wood, so preserving your historic windows will keep you from having to replace them more often. 3. Insulate the attic and basement. Energy escapes through places that are usually uninsulated, especially basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Consider insulating these spaces to prevent air from escaping. Cellulose is a great option because, unlike spray foam, it’s reversible. Just note: You should refrain from insulating walls because you’re removing the permeable vapor barrier inherent in historic structures. The walls of historic houses are made to breathe, but inhibiting movement of air and heat through and around the wall can lead to issues like trapped moisture. 4. Take advantage of your house’s natural passive heating and cooling. Artificial cooling and heating methods can be some of the highest energy consumers in a historic house. This may seem simple, but if you have shutters on your historic house, use them! They were an early method for cooling down a house in the summer months, and it costs you nothing. Just open up your windows and latch the shutters to allow natural air flow to cool your house down in the summer. The shutters will also prevent the intense rays of the sun from penetrating the windows, thereby keeping the interior of your house comfortable. Additionally, window awnings, if historically appropriate, serve a similar function. 5. Consider installing renewable energy sources. If you’re able to, consider installing solar, wind, or geothermal renewable energy sources on your historic property. Solar panels, for example, if installed properly, produce electricity naturally and will help lower your bills. When connected to a utility power grid, modern wind turbines can also help create elec-

tricity using renewable resources and in a more cost-efficient manner. Read more about installing solar panels on historic properties here. 6. Pay attention to your landscaping. Trees are an excellent way to conserve energy in your house. Deciduous trees will provide shade in the summer. In the colder months, when their leaves have fallen, they will allow sunlight in to warm your house. LED bulbs offer a good alternative to traditional bulbs that use more energy. 7. Change your lightbulbs. According to the General Services Administration, High Efficiency Incandescent (HEI) lamps reduce energy by 50 to 75 percent and use only 25 percent of the energy that regular incandescent bulbs use. They also don’t alter the appearance of historic light fixtures where the bulbs are visible, like LEDs do. Otherwise, LEDs are a good option when the bulb is obscured by opaque shades or lenses. 8. Reuse old materials or salvage. If you’re renovating a historic house and are looking to replace missing pieces (doors, crown moldings, furniture, etc.), check out salvage companies before you buy new. There are plenty of salvage companies around that take architectural components and other antique wares from houses undergoing demolition. Purchasing historic and used materials helps prevent landfill waste and is a great way to give new life to discarded historic details. If you need another reason to convince you to reuse a historic building rather than building new, note that the National Trust’s study The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse found that “it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome, through efficient operations, the negative climate change impacts related to the construction process.” Meghan White is a historic preservationist and an assistant editor for Preservation magazine. She has a penchant for historic stables, absorbing stories of the past, and one day rehabilitating a Charleston single house. Reprinted with permission.

OpiniOn The city could easily solve homelessness if it wanted to

Oh boy, here Arcata goes again. Given a $400,000 grant to help all the town’s homeless, officials are going to spend it on five one-bedroom modulars, which means five people or couples will get sheltered and housed. Great planning, great reasoning, HA! Take that $400,000 and use it to provide all our homeless with safe, sanitary camping and parking areas until proper and adequate housing can be built and met. But again, most of us common folk know that our city doesn’t really want to address this issue with any amount of reason or logic. They never have, or it would have been easily done by now. We (city) have land unused, whose access to water and sewage is already installed. The police are tired and overworked running from area to area to mitigate problems brought on by the homeless’s misery –just trying to find a place to rest, bathe, eat and shower. Now, as in the past, our city “punts” its responsibility to the same old organizations (like “Arcata House Partnership”) that have utterly failed in their half-hearted and mean attempts in the recent past. So, five people or couples will get housed later in this year! But what about the hundreds of others that will again face the coming winter weather of cold and rain? Comfortable people of (and in) power can never understand! Michael Robert Langdon, P.H.R.A. Arcata

Honest Village info needed

Dear City Councilmembers, Over this past week I have been reflecting on the April 17 City Council meeting. Specifically the comments made by Director of Community Development David Loya regarding how EIRs are (1) generated, (2) how the results are interpreted and (3) how they are implemented. (1) When EIRs are required Mr. Loya stated that he has regularly requested from developers that they provide the “initial drafts” of the EIRs concerning their projects. (2) Mr. Loya stated that for the Village project he had “carefully” read over every section of the EIR submitted by AMCAL

v LETTERS and interpreted it to be accurate at the time. (3) Mr. Loya determined that some aspects of the EIR could not be implemented. In his words the mitigations were “unmitigable.” This is an oxymoron. I believe Mr. Loya stated to the Council that the regulations governing EIRs were “pretty clear on this point.” I found this comment perplexing. If they had been clear to Mr. Loya he should have abided by them. Attorney Tim Needham, representing Strombeck Properties, was quite clear in his statement. Mr. Loya did not follow the letter of the city statute on the Village project and, more than likely, on other previous projects. Mr. Loya’s interpretation of the Village EIR is not viable, as the EIR itself should not be accepted as per city statute. And any “unmitigable” mitigations should be mitigated or the proposed project shouldn’t be considered in the first place. Mr. Loya stated that he and his staff can “revise” the AMCAL generated EIR “inhouse.” I cannot see how this can be done. Mr. Loya needs to step away from the process. His gross failure to comply with the land-use regulations and subsequent willingness to accept the data and resulting AMCAL analysis of the data through a “careful reading” of the document suggest that an unbiased analysis is not credible. A revised in-house EIR, using the previously submitted AMCAL version should be out of the question. An independent, reliable, consulting firm needs to be retained. This brings up a troubling question: How were the cost off-sets, proposed by AMCAL to the city, calculated? Was their EIR the basis for those related EIR cost off-sets? If so, the citizen who brought up the inequitable disparity in fees for sewage connection between home owners and the Village might want some answers as to how the city came up with those fees. How were all of the Village offsets negotiated? Was any comparison done with other similar projects in other cities? Who negotiated on behalf of the city? Could it be that the structural foundation of this project, the EIR, has been the ... “there’s something wrong here, but I can’t put my finger on it” … problem all along? It is human nature to want to solve problems but what if the problems associated

with the Village stem from false beliefs? A false EIR? Is the Craftsman Mall site, with its single traffic access point, really suitable for 602 residents, with all of the cars that would entail? Shouldn’t a project of this size have more than one access point? Has anyone asked for input from Mad River Lumber? Would the University, in writing, even agree to a traffic circle on its property at the Sunset – L.K.Wood intersection? It is human nature to want honest answers. It is also human nature to become tired after a long, tedious and difficult journey. Some give up, some have other priorities, some lose faith. I hope for the best. Sincerely, Jack Roscoe Arcata

Minimizing plastic impacts

No one can deny that plastics are useful. But I’m sure that no one enjoys seeing turtles being harmed by plastic in the ocean, or trash lining the sidewalks. It can take up to 1,000 years for plastic items to decompose in a landfill, according to The Balance Small Business website. Here are seven easy ways that you can help the earth by reducing your plastic use. 1. Recycle your Amazon packaging. Few people might know this one, but the airfilled pouches that are included in Amazon packaging can be mailed in to the company and reused! CCAT on Humboldt State University, California Department of Fish and Wildlife on 619 Second St. in Eureka, and the Jefferson Community Center on 8 Clark St. in Eureka has a box in their office that you can turn in the air filled pouches to and we will send them back to sealedair. com to be reused. Just make sure the plastic pouches are deflated. 2. Ditch plastic produce bags at the grocery store. When you bring your own bag for your normal groceries, feel free to put your veggies and fruits directly into the bag. Also, you can bring your own bags to hold produce. For example, I reuse bread bags to hold small veggies like Brussels sprouts. 3. Bring a bottle to refill your favorite soaps. At the Co-op in Arcata or Eureka you can refill your own bottle with Dr. Brohners and various other shampoos and conditioners. Dr. Bronner’s soap is 45 cents per ounce at the Co-op. To fill an 8-ounce container is $3.60, cheaper than buying a new bottle with soap in it. Plus you are saving

another plastic bottle from entering a landfill. Another place that has soap by bulk is Bubbles on H Street in Arcata. 4. Switch over to a bamboo toothbrush. You’ve probably heard that you’re supposed to switch your toothbrush every 6 weeks.That’s about eight toothbrushes per year. Amazon has packs of four toothbrushes for less than $6. After you get your toothbrush, you can recycle the plastic air pouches in our Amazon packaging collection boxes in step No. 1. Alternatively, you can pop into a local health foods store to get your plastic-free toothbrush and support a local business. 5. Switch over to reusable food storage bags. Instead of buying single use Ziplocks, you can get reusable bags with zippers. A one time buy on Amazon is around $9.99. They usually have cute designs on them, plus most are dishwasher and laundry safe. 6. Fill up on food items with bulk bins. Pretty much every local grocery store has bulk bins that you can fill up with stuff like granola, lentils, rice, and trail mix. If you bring your own reusable bag it’s a great way to reduce your plastic use, since so much food at stores comes in plastic packaging. 7. Share with your friends about what works for you in reducing your plastic use! Spreading the word about easy ways to reduce plastic use will go a long way in helping keep the environment clean and marine animals healthy. Switching over to a more zero waste lifestyle can seem a little daunting at first. I know I was overwhelmed when first starting. By taking small steps one at a time you can make a significant difference. Thank you for looking over these steps, lets keep Humboldt green! Sara Moriarty-Graves Arcata

Zero Waste Humboldt battles single-use plastic with Refill, Not Landfill ZWH partners reduce plastic bottles Zero Waste Humboldt

HUMBOLDT – Zero Waste Humboldt supporters and partners in the Refill Not Landfill Project gathered around the Wharfinger Building lobby new water bottle refill station to celebrate on the Friday before Earth Day. This is one of 10 water bottle refill stations that Zero Waste Humboldt (ZWH) awarded to northern Humboldt local governments and schools. ZWH’s Refill Not Landfill project aims to reduce the ever-increasing number of single use plastic water bottles in Humboldt County’s waste stream. ZWH is the only organization on the Redwood Coast that specializes solely on waste reduction solutions. Zero Waste Humboldt has awarded four water stations to the City of Eureka Parks & Recreation Department, and one each to Fortuna, Arcata, Blue Lake and McKinleyville Community Services District Parks and Recreation Departments. Arcata High School and McKinleyville High School campuses have also been awarded stations. Each water station includes a counter to monitor use and the estimated number of single use water bottles prevented. ZWH’s network of northern Humboldt partners have installed the water bottle refill stations in their

buildings and will report periodically on the use indicated by the water station counter. To date, the partners in the project report that their water bottle refill stations have saved a total of more than 25,000 single use plastic water bottles from Humboldt County’s waste. The ZWH Refill Not Landfill project water stations and ongoing public education have been funded by Coast Central Credit Union, the Footprint Foundation, Mad River Rotary Club and the Strong Foundation. “The Refill Not Landfill project has been a winwin on several fronts,” said ZWH President Sarai Lucarelli. “It’s a model for keeping single use plastics out of our waterways, beaches, street gutters, and landfill; it benefits public health and fitness; and is developing the public infrastructure necessary to increase convenience for the “bring your reusable bottle” habit.” Cameron Mull, director of the City of Fortuna’s Parks and Recreation Program, pointed out that, “As old drinking fountains are replaced and new buildings are built, we must remember to integrate new water bottle refill stations.” Blue Lake City Manager Amanda Mager emphasizes the importance for the water bottle refill stations to be accessible for children and for them to see their teachers, parents and other

adults with the bring-yourown-water-bottle habit. “We’re not going to be able to recycle our way out of the proliferation of single use plastics,” said ZWH Boardmember Maggie Gainer. Berkeley Ecology Center Executive Director Martin Bourque, and Annie Leonard, executive director of

A single-use water bottle fact sheet Public health There is a popular misunderstanding that bottled water is better for your health than tap water. In fact, the water supply for several brands of bottled water is an urban tap. The quality of the public water supply, like our local Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District is highly regulated. U.S. EPA regulates public tap water. Bottled water has very little regulation. Many brands have found traces of phthalates, mold,mi-

CONVENIENCE CONUNDRUM Even as Arcata’s Zero Waste Task Force looks for ways to reduce one-time container use, this was the elegant beverage selection at a recent public safety meeting at Valley West’s Hampton Inn – single-use plastic water bottles and soft drinks in non-reusable containers. KLH | Union Greenpeace USA, perfectly summarized the solutions for single use plastics in a recent Los Angeles Times op-ed piece: “If your bathtub was overflowing, you wouldn’t immediately reach for a mop — you’d first turn off the tap. That’s what we need to do with single-use plastics.” Gainer said, “The reusable bottle alternative is so much cheaper than buying water in plastic bottles. Now, we must make the reusable alternative more convenient with more water bottle refill stations, and convince local schools and parks and rec programs to stop selling water in single-use plastic water bottles!”

crobes, arsenic, and other contaminants in bottled water. (Many sources, including gopurepod.com/news-research.) A recent World Health Organization study reported that 93 percent of popular bottled water brands have tested the water to find plastic fibers inside the bottle. Energy and resources Among significant environmental concerns are the resources required to produce the plastic bottles and to transport filled bottles to consumers, including both energy and water. Producing the bottles for American consumption in 2006 required the equivalent of more than 17 million barrels of oil, not including the energy for transportation. Bottling water produced more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxideIt took 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water. pacinst.org/publication/bottledwater-fact-sheet/, 2007 Ineffectual recycling The U.S. used about 50 billion plas-

tic water bottles in 2017. However, the recycling rate has been 23 percent, with 38 billion plastic water bottles wasted. (banthebottle.net/bottled-water-facts). One million single-use plastic water bottles are purchased per minute. 23 percent at best, are recycled. forbes.com/ sites/trevornace/2017/07/26/million-plastic-bottles-minute-91-not-recycled/#1804e92f292c One million single use plastic water bottles are purchased per minute. 23 percent at best, are recycled. forbes. com/sites/trevornace/2017/07/26/million-plastic-bottles-minute-91-not-recycled/#1804e92f292c Extreme consumer costs Bottled water is more expensive than gasoline and costs 2,000 times more than tap water—switching can save a lot of money! 5gyres.org/plastic-bottles Americans purchase about 50 billion water bottles per year, averaging about 13 bottles per month for every person in the U.S.! That means by using a reusable water bottle, you could save an average of 156 plastic bottles annually. aiga.org/ case-study-watershed Consumers know that plastic water bottles are bad. A 2018 Mintel Water Insights study found that 29 percent of those who purchase and drink bottled water say that drinking it is bad for the environment, and one in four people have stopped purchasing bottled water because it is plastic. Environmental harm The Northcoast Environmental Center found that during 2018’s Coastal Cleanup Day, 252 single use plastic water bottles and 162 bottle caps were found on Humboldt’s beaches. The extreme damage to the world’s oceans, waterways, fish, other wildlife, and air quality from burning plastic has been well documented. Humboldt’s regular beach clean ps are one way to assess the damage in Humboldt. To learn more about prevention strategies for single use plastics, email contact@ zerowastehumboldt.org.

Well, not for me, because my daughter is 9 months, and not for my because mother, my my daughter is 9 months, and going over to my mom’s house to make breakfast is not any happening time soon. But for people who can make something for their dear old mothers to relish on their special day, there are a number of reasons that it should be the puffy, buttery, fruited and venerable German Pancake. 1. It is cheap to make. No lobster need, no porcini

powder, not even a steak. Just pantry staples and whatever fruit looks best in the market. 2. It looks all fancy but it’s easy as pie - actually much easier than pie. Mom will be impressed and think you worked hard, when really you ran the blender and put your feet up and read the comics. 3. It’s sensationally yummy!

non-perishable food in the bag and leave the bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11. Your letter carrier will do the rest, collecting donations and delivering them to Food for People at their Eureka location or

to the food pantry in your community. In Humboldt County, the food drive has collected an average of 45,000 pounds of food countywide each year, and plays an important role in supplementing the food

distributed by Food for People’s pantries and hunger-relief programs. The foods most needed include protein items (canned meats, tuna, and beans), canned vegetables (low sodium) and fruits (in 100 percent juice), low-sugar cereals, whole grain pasta, low-sodium soups, chili and stews, peanut butter and 100 percent juice. Items that cannot be accepted include rusty or bulging cans, foods that are clearly beyond their expiration date and homecanned items which all have to be disposed of for health reasons. Please try to avoid donations in glass jars as they can easily break when tossed in with canned items. Volunteers are needed to help sort and box the food when it is delivered to Food for People, 307 W 14th St, in Eureka on Saturday, May 11.

This amazing dog will blossom with some TLC

Humboldt Back & Neck Pain Center 839-6300

edwood Pals Rescue has the lovely Holly available for adoption. Does she look familiar? She is the daughter of Rosie, a shelter dog who was featured here recently. Mother and daughter look very similar. Holly was in the care of Redwood Pals when she was just a pup, along with her mother and siblings. We took in the little family so that they could have a warm and dry place to live for their first two months. All of the puppies were adopted when they were old enough. When Holly was just about a year old she was separated from her family and abandoned on a country road. It is not a very nice story involving

family drama, but luckily for Holly, she was found by a good-hearted person and brought to safety. Holly got along great with the finder’s dog and has been fostered with them for a few months while the foster debated whether she could keep Holly for good. Large veterinary bills for the foster’s cat (unrelated to the dogs) have left her feeling that she is not in a Holly

good financial situation to have multiple pets. So once again Holly is looking for a forever home. She is a smart girl who learns new skills easily and gets along

well with other dogs. Her foster says she has been a good influence on the house dog! Holly does have some prey drive and would not be a good placement for a home with livestock. She has not hurt anything but is very interested in the alpaca and horse where she lives. Our trainer says she is an amazing dog who will really blossom when she has a person with some time to spend on her. Are you that person? You can reach us by email at redwoodpalsrescue@gmail. com or leave a voicemail at (707) 633-8842. And in the ongoing series of dogs that remind me of my own, we have Susie, a 7-year-old Kelpie mix. One of our volunteers describes her this way: “Sweet, petite Susie is about the easiest, most cooperative leash walker possible! She is very endearing and docile, and very affectionate. She seems quite housebroken and knows ‘sit.’ She enjoys cuddles and treats! She really loves to be touched, and would be a great, easy companion. She is a play-
