County: close med-cannabis reg loophole
HumCo budget gets flagged for overstated revenue Daniel Mintz Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT – County Auditor-Controller Karen Paz Dominguez has flagged a key error in Humboldt County’s budgeting – revenue amounts in the General Fund have been overstated by millions of dollars. The county’s General Fund revenue will drop in the coming year because the practice of double-counting some sources of revenue has been discovered and stopped. The erroneous revenue accounting was revealed as the Board of Supervisors discussed the proposed 2019 to 2020 budget at its June 4 meeting. Paz Dominguez campaigned on a platform of accountability and reform, and the county has changed its accounting of some sources of revenue at her direction. As a result of the more accurate accounting, the General Fund revenue estimate for the coming year’s budget shows a decrease. Deputy County Administrator Elisha Hayes told supervisors that this is because “the county’s newly-elected auditor-controller has revised the county’s financial reporting practices.” The General Fund’s projected revenues for the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year amount to $152.3 million. That’s a decrease of $7.2 million or five percent compared to the current year. The revenue drop is “primarily due to the previously-mentioned changes in local accounting practices,” said Hayes. “Previously, accounting practices overstated revenues BUDGET

New ACV service to the Mile-High City Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT – With food, drink and music, elected officials, business and community leaders, and the general public celebrated the launch of United Airlines’ new non-stop service from Humboldt County to Denver International Airport (DEN) last Thursday night at the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (ACV) in McKinleyville. The addition of direct-to-Denver flights comes in addition to ACV’s service to San Francisco and Los Angeles International Airports. United is providing the service with a 50-seat Bombardier CRJ
regional jet with one flight per day departing ACV at 7:27 a.m. and arriving in Denver at 10:10 a.m.; and one departing DEN at 7:05 a.m. and arriving in Arcata at 9:09 a.m. Recruiting and retaining air service has been a top focus of the Redwood Region Economic Development Commission (RREDC) since 2003. In 2011, RREDC joined with community members, businesses, and organizations to create “Fly Humboldt,” a collaborative effort to increase air service and support our local airport. Those involved with establishing the new service is happy for
the opportunities it provides, and are hopeful that it will succeed. “We know that connecting with outside companies and markets is key to the success of our local economy. We work hard to build local air service and build mutually beneficial relationships with airlines and airports,” said Gregg Foster, executive director of RREDC. “I am grateful for the confidence shown and support received from United Airlines and Denver International Airport for this new service. This flight will be a great link to the Rocky Mountains and beyond.” “This is great news for HumDENVER
HUMBOLDT – Humboldt County is drawing the state’s attention to a “serious problem” in cannabis regulation that allows medicinal cannabis to be cultivated and manufactured without oversight or taxation. At its June 4 meeting, the county’s Board of Supervisors took action to ask the state to close a cannabis regulation loophole by clearly defining the difference between industrial hemp and non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis that is low in THC and high in cannabidiol or CBD. A recently-enacted state law, AB 1409, legalizes industrial hemp production, defining it as cannabis with no more than three-tenths of one percent of THC. Industrial hemp is more practically defined as being used for fiber or seed oil – but the definition under state law apparently isn’t specific to use. Planning Director John Ford told supervisors that Humboldt County’s hemp farmers are exclusively growing high-CBD cannabis for medicinal use at this point and the state’s loosely-controlled registration system for industrial hemp isn’t adequate for regulating it. “Perhaps the state hasn’t confronted these issues yet and we want to make them aware of what the implications are of not addressing this,” Ford said. Other counties in the state are “at various degrees of coming to grips with this,” he continued. The county has twice enacted temporary bans on industrial hemp and high-CBD cannabis.

Arcata City Council takes care of business Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – The Arcata City Council last week processed a number of key issues facing Arcata. Councilmembers took an update on the Village housing project, examining traffic impacts and increased demand for wastewater treatment. Councilmembers gave s0-far-sogood, interim-only approval to the project over objections by neighbors, members of Arcata Citizens for Responsible Housing and a representative of another developer. The Village’s Environmental Impact Report is getting a re-do, since the one submitted by developer AMCAL wasn’t independently created as required by Arcata’s Land Use Code. The council also adopted the city’s $41 million annual budget, also updating the city’s fee schedule. An ordinance extending a mora-
torium on mobile home park closures was extended, allowing more time for revising zoning ordinances to help retain the affordable housing.
The council also received an update on phase 1 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade, projected to cost $3.1 million.

It looks like Co-op will pull through after all (even without Apple Pay) The board will accept applications through July 1. For more information about the position and how to northcoast.coop/about_ us/careers. Help wanted A Union reader noticed a surge in help wanted ads by Co-op on Craigslist Humboldt and asked what was going on with that. Bettenhausen said that is it “seasonal turnover” which occurs every year around this time when Humboldt State students leave for the summer. She said this year’s turnover was exceptionally heavy. Apple Pay Unlike at other local supermarkets, you still can’t use Apple Pay at the co-op. The service allows participating iPhone users to simply hold their phone over the checkout stand’s card terminal and pay for groceries without having to get out a wallet and debit or credit card. Bettenhausen said that the coop made a substantial investment in the gear required to activate Apple Pay, but then the service which provides it was sold. The new owners revised the technology, rendering the Co-op’s investment useless. The service was sold again according to Bettenhausen, and eventually wound up in the hands of its original owners. But the Apple Pay tech still doesn’t work.

HUMBOLDT – North Coast Co-op’s well-publicized financial crisis may be lifting, according to the iconic Humboldt two-store chain’s administration. A press release (see below) cites a strong alliance with local farmers, new features and marketing, and somewhat stabilized sales as helping right the ship. Manager search The Co-op is accepting applications from candidates interested in serving as its GM. Current General Manager Melanie Bettenhausen remains on the job, but her contract with the Co-op expires this November. “Our members have made it clear that they expect us to do our due diligence to make sure we have the very best person possible in this critical job,” said Board President Colin Fiske. “And the Board agrees. In fact, so does Bettenhausen. She graciously suggested that the Board take this step of performing a full search.” Bettenhausen has re-applied for the position, and, says the organization, the board will consider her application in the same manner and with the same standards as all other applications received. Bettenhausen said she wanted to continue in the position, but wishes to do so with the full, renewed backing of the board; hence her re-application. The North Coast Co-op is a member-owned organization with more than 15,000 active members and 200 employees and governed by a seven-member Board of Directors. The general manager oversees all the Co-op’s operations and reports directly to the Board of Directors.
noRthcoast co-op pRess Release
ARCATA & EUREKA – As it has every year, North Coast Co-op sat down this winter with local farmers in a series of meetings to establish what will be grown by each farmer for the Co-op. This year the Co-op plans to spend more than $700,000 with local farmers. Some farmers sell anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 annually
The two most important days in our life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. – Mark Twain
to the Co-op. Typically those are farmers who have built their business with the Co-op over decades. This annual commitment by the Co-op creates a reliable market for farmers and a consistent source of local, fresh, organic produce for shoppers. The relationships with some farmers go back more than 40 years. Many farmers had their first retail accounts at the Co-op. “We have sold more to the Coop every year for the last 10 years. It’s a reliable market not dependent on weather or season. There just isn’t another supermarket that is so dedicated to working with the farmers. The Co-op bends over backwards to work with us,” said Jacque Neukom, owner at Neukom Family Farm in Willow Creek. According to Neukom, it’s more than just the sales to the Co-op that are important, it is that the Co-op provides support for farmers to take a risk to bring a new product to market. Neukom says it took years to develop a market for yacón, a sweet tasting tuberous root used in fresh salads or as a healthy snack. The Co-op worked with him on finding the right price point, marketing materials and consumer education. Eventually, yacón became a staple and other stores called him to place their orders. “We are lucky enough as farmers to choose where we sell our product and we always choose the Co-op first,” says Neukom. “The Co-op’s employee retention is amazing, which means we are able to work with the same knowledgeable people for years and decades.” This year’s commitment to local farmers is larger than in the past because it includes produce for use in the Co-op’s delis. “We want to make our food
with as much local as possible, but that means the farmers need a chance to plan for an increase in production. This year we included the Deli’s needs in our annual meetings with farmers,” says North Coast Co-op Food Service Director Lauren Fawcett. The Co-op has seen double-digit sales growth in its prepared foods department since introducing the new food bar at its Eureka store location. Customers say they love building unique “Goodness Bowls” with organic rice or quinoa, organic veggies, house-made sauces and hormone-free meats. The emphasis on local is also key to that sales growth. The success of the new food bar is part of the Co-op’s return to profitability. North Coast Coop has seen two consecutive profitable quarters, with the largest gains in March. This comes after nearly a year of losses brought on by challenges with a major remodel project and a simultaneously declining economy. For several years, the Co-op had been in the planning and permitting phase of a $5 million-dollar remodel that would triple the size of its Deli, improve layout, and resolve infrastructure issues at its Fourth & B Street location in Eureka. Permitting delays, along with several large health insurance claims, ate away at cash reserves until March 2018 when they put the project on hold. Not long after, they began to relate the sales declines they were seeing at both stores to the impact of cannabis legalization. The Co-op was not the only business to share that they were feeling the effects of legalization. Many businesses and distributors who sell to the Co-op felt the impact also, in and out of the region.

Co-op purchases from nearly 200 local vendors in Humboldt County alone, with approximately 25 of those being local, organic farmers. “When the Co-op sees a decline in sales, so do some of the local growers and producers who depend on our account. We are very aware of how important the Co-op’s success is to that of the community at large. We are part of an intricate network of businesses, livelihoods and community nourishment,” said Bettenhausen. “Building sales back ensures that we can continue supporting local farmers.” North Coast Co-op says its sales are still trending down, but only about one percent, which is an improvement over last fall. Going into the summer, they have plans to host a kick-off event to highlight the new deli offerings at their Eureka location. Over the last few months a new food bar was installed, the footprint of the deli was expanded, and they are introducing a new juice bar and signature sandwiches later this month. North Coast Co-op anticipates positive sales growth in the coming months. Over the holidays, Co-op members showed their support by spending more of their grocery dollars at the store that they own. That loyalty has extended into the new year. “With a robust tourist season anticipated, and new offerings delighting customers, things are looking up,” says Bettenhausen. “Our employees have worked really hard to make sure customers want to shop with us and our community has been very supportive. We are so thankful and hope we can continue to contribute to the success of others, including our local farmers. We are all in this together.”

Tofucalypse averTed
WHEW! A recent buildup of a by-product of tofu creation at the Tofu Shop’s Frank Martin Court production facility almost brought tofu manufacture to a halt recently. Each batch of tofu creates 15 to 20 gallons of leftover soy pulp, known as Okara. While local sheep and pig ranchers have been picking up the Okara as feed, demand seemed to taper off, resulting in hundreds of pounds of the perishable material building up in the factory’s parking lot. Fortunately, Organic Matters Ranch stepped up to cart off the excess Okara, allowing production to continue. Above, tofu pioneer Matthew Schmit with, left, the Okara and right, raw soybeans. Schmit says more is available for free to those with a use for it. Call him at (707) 822-7401 to arrange pickup. tofushop.com, organicmattersranch.com PHotos by KLH | Union

I know this new partnership between the County of Humboldt, Redwood Region Economic Development Commission, United Airlines, and Denver International Airport will be successful.” She half-jokingly urged the public to support and use the Denver service as a connecting link to elsewhere, even on flights to the Bay Area. “Service to Humboldt County is a welcome addition to Denver’s growing domestic route network,” said DEN CFO Gisela Shanahan. “United’s new flights will not only provide visitors between our regions a more convenient option for travel, but Humboldt County-originating passengers will now have the opportunity to connect to more than 200 destinations worldwide through the DEN hub.” “United is excited to connect the Rocky Mountain region with the Redwood Coast, with our new daily service between Denver and Humboldt County,” said Janet Lamkin, United president of California. “We are committed to connecting our California customers to all the places they want to go, while bringing the world to California.” “We are excited about this new service and look forward to working with United and SkyWest Airlines to ensure its success,” said Humboldt County Director of Aviation Cody Roggatz. “We’ve got a great airport and we are working hard to support the air travel needs of our community’s businesses, visitors, and citizens.”

FullyaccessibleFreshwaterParkopens County of Humboldt
FRESHWATER – A months-long construction project that included a full, colorful overhaul of the playground and other facilities at Freshwater Park was unveiled to the public on Friday, June 7. Children of all abilities will be able to use the playground, which has been replaced with equipment that is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. This will be the first fully inclusive playground in the county park system. The park is located at 3100 Freshwater Road, Freshwater. “It’s encouraging to see the county’s first inclusive playground at Freshwater Park as part of our efforts to make this important facility fully ADA accessible,” said Mike Wilson, Third District supervisor. “The new playground will provide a place for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy and is a good example of the county’s renewed commitment to ensuring that our programs, services and activities are accessible to all.” The project began in the fall of 2017 and incorporated community input, as well as ADA standards. The playground closed in December of 2018 when construction began. While the playground was a large piece of this project, there was much more work done to improve access at the entire park. The construction project includes creating accessible routes to park amenities, including picnic areas, the volleyball court, and other locations throughout the park. The unisex restrooms on the lower level of the park were remodeled to include proper maneuvering clearance, accessible sinks, signage and stall-related equipment. In addition, the playground area underwent a transformation

with the installation of new inclusive playground equipment and poured rubber surfacing. Playground equipment and colors were chosen based on a study conducted as part of the Freshwater County Playground Renovation Project, in December 2014. This project study based its evaluation on a focus group of 2nd and 3rd grade students and parents at Garfield School in Freshwater, as well as park visitors. In addition, the survey included neighbors along Freshwater Road and one-on-one interviews with parkgoers at the existing playground and Arcata Farmers’ Market. The study concluded children ages 6 to 8 enjoyed structures that are unique and complex, and those that challenge their balance, imagination, and skill level. Community input indicated that the playground equipment should incorporate green and yellow as the preferred colors. Staff reviewed the findings in the report and took into consideration budgetary constraints to determine the number of large and small features for small children, school-age children as well as amenities that include accessible and inclusive features. Staff then consulted with Ross
Recreation, a partner of Landscape Structures, Inc., to design and install the county’s first inclusive playground at Freshwater Park. Due to the detailed nature of inclusive playground equipment, the county contracted with Landscape Structures, Inc. for the construction of the play area and rubber surfacing, and Adam’s Commercial General Contracting, Inc. for the park’s site work. Ross Recreation, a partner of Landscape Structures, Inc. designed and installed the playground equipment. KPA Group designed the overall ADA improvements at the park. The cost for the new playground and poured-in-place impact attenuating (rubber) surfacing was $196,925. The design, concrete work, accessible parking stalls, drinking fountains, restroom modifications, BBQ grills and new accessible picnic tables were $209,475 for a total project cost of $406,400. Learn more at the Freshwater Park web page. This project is one of many included in the county’s consent decree with the Department of Justice to bring Humboldt County facilities up to compliance with ADA standards.

Budget| Supes didn’t question or discuss bad accounting FROMA1
by accounting for funds transferred between (county departments) twice.” Double-counting also occurred with the use of General Fund savings accounts and special revenue funds. Supervisors didn’t discuss or ask about the erroneous revenue accounting. Intothenegative The budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 amounts to $450 million. The budget is tighter than the current year’s but General Fund expenses are down by 2 percent due to several factors, including reductions in the county’s contingency or emergency fund and a reduced cannabis permitting workload. Spending exceeds revenue in the budget but as has been done in previous years, the county will forward the current year’s fund balance to cover the gap. Supervisor Steve Madrone said that “we’re seeing a declining reserve account and a projection that we’re possibly going into a nega-
tive in a couple of years in terms of the balances.” He noted that public comment has supported four priorities – reducing adverse childhood experiences (ACES), treating substance addiction, increasing affordable housing and improving multi-modal transportation. Asked about how the priorities are supported in the budget, County Administrative Officer Amy Nilsen said the county Department of Health of Human Services (DHHS) will receive “significant” funding from the state for affordable housing and the county will use revenue from the sale of one of its properties to contribute to a housing trust fund. A $400,000 county contribution to DHHS will be used for ACES prevention, she continued. The Probation Department and the DHHS are receiving $600,000 for drug use treatment and $500,000 in road improvement funding “satisfies that fourth requirement,” Nilsen
Cannabis| CBDs
THE GOOD NEW DAYS Cast your mind back 10 years, to when Humboldt County was waging a wasteful, divisive war with itself over cannabis. Now the industry is a key part of marketing the county, described in this Southern Humboldt Business and Visitors Bureau banner which greeted airport arrivals as “America’s Cannabis Heartland.” shbvb.org KLH | Union

During a one-day lapse between the two bans, the county’s Agricultural Commissioner’s Office received 40 applications for the state’s hemp registration and all of the applications were for medicinal CBD cannabis. Ford asked for approval of a letter stating that unless industrial hemp and high-CBD cannabis are differentiated, “individuals will be able to grow cannabis for medicinal use, while evading compliance with the state and local rules imposing environmental protections and health and safety measures, as well as the payment of state and local taxes.” The county’s cannabis regulation and taxation has often been described as financially crushing, particularly for smaller-scale farmers. Supervisor Steve Madrone hinted that he’ll advance a third version of a commercial cannabis ordinance that will incentivize environmental protection measures by giving farmers tax credits for doing them. He said the county should “fully incentivize” environmental compliance “to the point that people are literally knocking down our doors, asking, ‘Please come out and inspect my operation because I know it’s best management practices and I’m looking forward to getting my stewardship certification so I can write these things off.’” Supervisor Mike Wilson questioned one of the letter’s main premises – that consumable medicinal cannabis isn’t specifically addressed in state law. Ford said the definition of industrial hemp in state law is broad and apparently includes uses beyond fiber and seed oil. “That opened the door for CBD production – it doesn’t say what the CBD production is for, that’s the problem but obviously, many people are interpreting that the CBD pro-
said, referring to multi-modal transportation. Treatmentstruggles During an earlier general public comment session, the managers of AJ’s Transitional Living in McKinleyville and the Humboldt Recovery Center treatment facility in Eureka talked about struggles to maintain operation. California’s Medicaid program funds treatment facilities like Humboldt Recovery Center but the funding is subject to a certification process. Asked about reports of decreasing funding for treatment, Shaun Brenneman, the county’s chief probation officer, acknowledged that there will be challenges as local facilities seek Drug Medi-Cal certifications. “The danger, of course, to our community, is that by the time Drug Medi-Cal certification comes through, some of those programs may have folded,” he said. That affects his department, as jail inmates with substance use disorders
can get early release into treatment programs. If there are fewer programs, transitional housing and outpatient programs will be used instead. But they have waiting lists and “as we put additional pressure on that, it may take people longer to get services,” Brenneman said. Taxincomesnapshot The budget’s tax revenue is a mix of gains and losses. Property taxes are forecasted to increase by $1.9 million or four percent but sales taxes are expected to decrease by four percent or $559,000. The current fiscal year’s cannabis excise tax revenue is $11.2 million and in the coming year, it’s expected to drop to $8 million due to a change in payment timing. Measure Z public safety sales tax revenue is expected to be $10.9 million and the revenue is declining as sales tax income dips. Public hearings on the budget are set for June 17 at 1:30 and 5:30 p.m. The budget’s adoption is set for the June 25 board meeting.
duction is for medical purposes,” he continued. Wilson questioned whether state law differentiates between topicals and ingested CBD. Ford said he doesn’t believe it does. “I don’t think that’s clear enough and that’s why we’re struggling,” he said. “If it was clear, we wouldn’t be before you today asking you to sign a letter.” Supervisors unanimously approved sending the letter, which will be received by Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Mike McGuire, Assemblymember Jim Wood and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Meanwhile the county is working on its own to change its regulations to cover non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis. The county’s hemp ban expires in early July.

Crabs are getting warmed up Richard LaPreziosa Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – In the seventh inning Sunday at the Arcata Ball Park, Crabs infielder Kyle Knell took off from first
base in an attempt to steal second. Brady Hinkle, catcher for the visiting Seattle Studs tried to throw him out, but his throw sailed over the second baseman into center field. This ignited the Crabs faithful into cheers as Knell tore around second base and slid head first into third. However ,the throw came in from center field and Knell was tagged out as his hand momentarily came off the bag. This sent the crowd in the bleachers into a fit of boos and jeers as they were eagerly watching for the Crabs, who were holding on to a 4-1 lead, to earn their first home win of the season. The Crabs were 2-5 heading into Sunday with all 5 of their losses in front of their home fans and their two wins CRABS

reached for the pile of the new Humboldt Crabs souvenir program. Superfan Tamara Clohessy got there first and opened it up to page 33. “The best page in the whole thing,” she said. And it may well be. Clohessy, Wendy Pearcy and Giuilana Stagnoli all got together “at the Brewery and wrote the article as a team.” They were reliving their trip to Florida last December to support former ballpark security staffer and Humboldt State grad Alex Cappa. Folks around the park knew the six foot seven inch tall Cappa as the gentle giant with the long hair. He was especially great with little kids. (Mad River Union, May 15, 2016). Cappa signed his first NFL contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2018 NFL draft. Cappa had a successful four years at HSU, winning all kinds of honors. The three women “decided to make it a mini-vacation,” according to Clohessy. They visited the Salvador Dali Museum and enjoyed Cuban food in the old Cuban section of town. “We hoped to just meet him for coffee or just to see him,” Clohessy said, “but we went to dinner.” The next day they had great seats for the Buccaneers’ game against the Carolina Panthers, “four rows back.” “After the game he was signing autographs and he motioned us over,” Pearcy said. “ ‘Did you guys eat yet?’ he asked, so we went to dinner again.” “We felt like we were his aunts,” Clohessy added. “He threw me his hat up in the stands after the game and people were saying, ‘who are you guys?’ “ “He hasn’t changed a bit from college and when he worked here at the Crabs,” Stagnoli said. Clohessy agreed. “He’s still driving the same car he had in Humboldt. ‘Why not, it works,’ he said.” The three women may go again. Road trip! Buy the official souvenir program for only $2 to read their article and many others about the history of the Crabs. It’s the 75th anniversary of the Humboldt Crabs so this program will be a keeper. Tracy Mac and her team of photographers, writers, board members and Social Media Manager Cooper Stanley have done a great job. The program has photographs of each player with stats and bios, a page to keep score on with instructions, and information about this season’s special events.

on the road against the Redding Colt 45’s. The stage was set for Friday night with Seattle in town for the weekend series. A game tying two-run homer from left fielder Ubaldo Lopez in the series opener accounted for the Crabs complete run total. Starting pitcher Josh Mollerus lasted six innings and gave up only two runs, but a seventh inning melt-down leading to five runs and included three errors doomed the Crabs to defeat. Jordan Eglite took the loss for the crabs. On Saturday, the Crabs were limited to just one run on four hits as they faced a committee of Seattle Pitchers who worked for three innings each. Crabs first baseman Bryce Kirk drove in the sole run in the ninth inning but that was all they could muster and lost by a score of 2-1. Davonte Butler had a nice outing for the Crabs lasting 7 innings and surrendering only a run. And so the Sunday afternoon crowd was, let’s face it, not used to this sort of thing.

Hoopa hit and run humboldt CouNty ShEriff’S offiCE
HOOPA – On Friday, June 7 at approximately 10 p.m., a vehicle versus pedestrian hit and run injury traffic collision occurred on Marshall Lane, south of Big Hill Road. A male juvenile, age 15 of Hoopa was walking in a northerly direction along the east shoulder of Marshall Lane, south of Big Hill Road. An unknown driver was driving a black sedan with tinted windows. The sedan was traveling northbound on Marshall Lane, south of Big Hill Road and approaching to the rear of the juvenile. As the sedan approached the juvenile, the sedan made an unsafe turn, turning to the left and onto the westbound shoulder where it collided with the juvenile. The juvenile landed on top of the sedans hood, rolled off and landed on his stomach. The juvenile looked up and was able to obtain a description of the sedan before falling asleep. The juvenile awoke and walked home where his parents took him to the Hoopa-Willow Creek Ambulance Station for medical assistance. The juvenile was then transported to Mad River Community Hospital for further medical treatment. The juvenile sustained a concussion and additional minor injuries.

Tranquility-inducing quinoa tots and tofu popcorn meet their match • Thursday, May 23 8:03 a.m. Six people sitting in a circle in a Ninth Street alley wouldn’t voluntarily disassemble their stonerhenge soiree-squattery, and a nearby business was concerned that the half-dozen immobile meat pillars might get run over. 10:36 p.m. In nearby Tavern Alley, intake-excrete maneuvers proved worrisome. It seems that four jolly-time funsters were guzzling grog from open containers, while one made room for still more cocktailian consumption by loosing the contents of his engorged bladder upon the already urine-gilded landscape. A horrified willie-wag witness was to sign a citizen’s arrest form over the indecent exposure. 11:08 a.m. In an alley off E Street, a man earlier reported stealing booze from a Uniontown store had apparently ingested same with predictable results, and was arrested on a public drunkenness charge. 10:12 p.m. A man wearing white socks and no shoes was peeing the night away at, and upon, the Intermodal Transit Facility, and was confronted by a passerby over the immodest emission. For this encroachment on his wee-hour whizzardry, the unshod peeman broke the guy’s phone. • Friday, May 24 9:34 a.m. Men of a certain age sometimes succumb to the ever-beckoning siren song of grumpiness, and – there being no clouds to yell at or kids on his lawn to bark at – take, for example, to harassing people attending an event at a nearby school. All the usual prickly panoply was on display with grandpa grumblesome grumpster – yelling, threats, taking super-helpful (as in useless) pictures of cars by way of some pointless evidence-gathering exercise, even the new insta-trend of busting a witness’s cell phone.
• Saturday, May 25 9:29 p.m. Drunken derelicts lingered in the fragrant entranceway to a dingbat-addled downtown donut shop, encumbering ingress and egress for area pastry ’n’ pathos aficionados. A rhythmic note was added to the proceedings when someone among them set up an annoyance-augmenting drum of some sort. 12:12 p.m. A man called from a Northtown erotic supply emporium to report that someone had struck him on the foot with a sledge hammer, and now he was bleeding through his shoe. Weirdest fetish ever. 3:43 p.m. A McMahan Street resident noticed three goats who’d wandered over from Baldwin Street eating his garden. • Monday, May 27 2:54 a.m. Sunflower kept going into a Plaza store to report people on a corner causing problems, and that in itself was becoming a problem. 11:45 p.m. Lurkabouts at Eighth and I streets loudly lamented that they had misplaced their “needle kit.” We’ve all been there. • Tuesday, May 28 9:59 a.m. Someone placed lit candles in a semicircle outside the front door of a Foster Avenue home overnight, leaving the resident concerned and puzzled as to the purpose of the creepy display. • Thursday, May 30 9:33 a.m. Some special someone in Valley West vandalized magnets and left a note on a car that read, “Go back to Idaho.” 10:22 a.m. A woman called demanding to speak to the police chief, and when asked what about, she explained that she cares about other people more than herself. In addition, she asserted, the domestic violence shelter system is corrupt. Asked what she expected of police in this regard, she said
she was angry and wanted to go walking in traffic. • Sunday, June 2 8:34 a.m. A man was reported unloading a yak and several goats from rental trailer at the Diamond Drive entrance to the Arcata Community Forest. 3:47 p.m. Two dogs running around the no-dogs-allowed Plaza formed a team and attacked yet another dog. 6:37 p.m. After a fight, a man was reported lying on the ground and balding. One of the combatants was arrested. • Tuesday, June 4 5:53 p.m. A blithe spirit at the shoplifter-barnacled Uniontown supermarket left his bike unlocked in the rack, and who among us (besides everyone) could have ever predicted that it would get stoled? Well, it did, except that the victim saw the theft in progress and gave chase, successfully wresting the bike from its unauthorized taker. He was concerned for other bicycle owners though, because the last place he saw the foiled thief was near a G Street bank’s bike rack. 7:23 p.m. Some shady slithy tove stole a man’s sunglasses at a Valley West motel, swapping them out for a different pair. 9:50 p.m. A frustrated backyard chef at the transit center who lacked any meaningful or urgent culinary mission posed a menace to fellow travelers by aggressively wielding a metal barbecue fork at them. • Wednesday, June 5 12:37 a.m. A tattoo-faced man on a bike helped himself to blankets and pillows at a crumbum-befouled Valley West motel. 5:42 a.m. A man withdrawing from alcohol and in a very bad way heroically didn’t reach for the bottle, but for the phone, to call for an ambulance.
10:22 p.m. This time it wasn’t Grandpa Grump taking pictures at an Old Arcata Road school, but a millennial on some sort of mission which also required him to wear shades and a sleeveless shirt while carrying a plaid shirt – as one does, never knowing when you might need some emergency plaid in your life. 11:16 a.m. Police didn’t have to travel far to address the man who was either having a loud hissyfit or arguing with someone on the phone – he was visiting the impassioned rhetoric amid the gleaming porcelain and stainless steel of their lobby bathroom. 12:43 p.m. “I don’t have insurance!” bellowed a man who had just rear-ended a woman’s car on 11th Street. He took off hit-andrun style, attempting evasive maneuvers by turning westbound on 12th Street, then northbound on Alliance Road and eastbound on 15th Street, then northbound on G Street with the victim following the whole way. 1:53 p.m. A woman stole a small concertina-style accordion from an H Street store. • Thursday, June 6 12:22 a.m. The ER was something of a M.A.S.H. unit as medical personnel attempted to treat a patient who mounted a boundary-smashing incursion, yelling, throwing things and threatening the staff. 12:26 p.m. A man living in a tent in the wildlife sanctuary found the accommodations unsuitable and complained of having been exposed to too much “bug spray.” • Friday, June 7 12:22 a.m. For eons, mankind has asked itself, what do women want? For starters, womankind might enjoy a well-earned respite from the reverse-endearing ways of some of the more knuckle-dragging menfolk. Take, for example, the blithering bozos to follow. First the guy in the blue pickup truck
who followed a woman to her L.K. Wood Boulevard apartment and set about honking his horn outside, tactics which somehow failed to win her affections. 12:53 a.m. Then there was the substance-addled weirdling on Eye Street whose singular mission was to bang on someone’s door until they called the government for relief. 7:16 a.m. Then there was the hoodie-bedecked charmer toting several bags who followed a woman around Valley West, ignoring her loud and unmistakeable admonitions to leave her alone. 7:52 a.m. An equal-opportunity abusive lout made it his mission to bother employees at an I Street store with harassment and inappropriate comments – despite the pacifying properties of abundant popcorn tofu and quinoa tots available therein. When he started taking pictures of people, police intervention seemed appropriate. 12:46 p.m. At another store up G Street, a man exacted revenge on a woman following a dispute over a parking space. Slashing her tire and zooming away in his blue vehicle was his very manly solution. 5:42 p.m. After an eviction notice was served two days previous, a tenant on Stromberg Avenue “destroyed” the house. This included breaking some of the windows and blacking out others. 8:28 p.m. A daughter reported that her mother and some friends were following and yelling at her and her father, despite the mom having a restraining order against the dad. The daughter and her father took refuge in the playgound near Stewart Park and called police. 11:38 p.m. the only thing lamer than yelling at clouds and supermarket employees might be yelling at a laundromat, but that’s just what the man in a hoodie did in Valley West. An officer tried to talk some sense into him.

Arcata Economic Development Corp. – a key catalyst for prosperity

rcata Chamber of Commerce Director Joellen Clark-Peterson interviews Arcata Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) Executive Director Ross Welch. AEDC is a 34-year Chamber member. What is AEDC? We are an economic development corporation. Our primary service is providing small business loans for those can’t get them through traditional means. We do that by offering a variety of products from microloans for as little as $5,000, to loans for commercial property that are over $1 million. Our mission is purposefully broad so can look at the needs in our region and ask, “What kind of good things do we want to do?” Locally, our community development programs have included FoodWorks, Humboldt Harvest (a predecessor to Humboldt Made) and Lemonade Day. We have also started funding community development projects like the Open Door Clinic, Arcata Fire and the Hoopa Grocery Store. We serve as a leader in economic development issues by partnering with other agencies to address topics that are of interest to local business and industry. Do you just serve Arcata? When AEDC started in 1978, we did. Not long after, we became an independent non-profit and we grew as we saw a need. Not only is our scope larger

than Arcata, our region actually includes six counties including Humboldt, Del Norte, Siskiyou, Trinity, Mendocino and Lake. How are you different from a bank or credit union? We can service business startups, things that banks generally aren’t attracted to. For example, if you have a lot of experience but not of a lot of collateral, we have the flexibility to help you balance that out. We can also partner with banks to offer better terms with programs like the SBA 504 that can help a business purchase commercial property with as little as 10 percent down. How do you get your money? After 40 years we have been able to generate our own revolving loan fund, but we also work with funds from USDA, SBA, Headwaters Funds, Humboldt Area Foundation and a variety of other funders. Each funder may have different requirements, but we have enough sources that we can meet the needs of a variety of business owners. How does the changing cannabis economy affect you?
We are not seeing the business development we used to see. There are cannabis businesses developing, but we have restrictions about lending to them. For the rest of California, legalization creates an opportunity to benefit from a new industry, but for us it’s a total change to our economic climate. Our sales tax is down, but our other taxes are up from all the permits. The county is bringing in money, it’s just not necessarily going to businesses in the way that it used to, and those businesses are often our clients. What is the role of Humboldt State University in economic development? HSU plays an important role in our economy. First, it brings experts to the community as teachers who can also reach out and work with local organizations and businesses. The Schatz Energy Research Center has worked with local businesses to help make Humboldt County a leader in resilience planning and innovation. HSU produces educated employees. Several past students, in anticipation of not being able to find work, helped to develop many of the businesses we see as leaders in our economy today – like Kokotat or Holly Yashi. And, the university is responsible for a bump in the local economy by physically bringing thou-

How do you think our area is currently positioned? In the past, we relied solely on one industry – be it timber or cannabis. We have burst through those bubbles and I hope that is never our strategy again. Cannabis and timber are all still present – but we have a nice mix that also includes niche manufacturing, aquaculture and art. And, we’re here! We’re not in the middle of a Midwest cornfield. We’ve got the redwoods and the ocean – it’s attractive here. I like what we’re doing with trail building – we’re playing
to our strengths and if it takes a while before other people realize it, that’s OK. There’s good stuff happening around here. People often fall into the habit of focusing on the negative, and you don’t want to be a Pollyanna, but I like it here. What is something you’re thinking about? Social-impact investing. It’s fun looking at best practices. That’s the neat thing with the Internet – you can see what people are doing and what might work here.

Petition signatories from Trinidad and beyond oppose hotel development Humboldt AlliAnce for responsible plAnning
HUMBOLDT – More than 1,300 Humboldt residents and visitors have signed a petition contesting the design and impact of a proposed five-story, 100-guestroom Hyatt hotel planned for the bluff above Trinidad Bay. Members of HARP — the Humboldt Alliance for Responsible Planning — have raised concerns about the Trinidad Rancheria hotel project’s visual and environmental impacts, and where it will get its water. Respondents to HARP’s petition say a high-rise hotel design is out of character with the area and threatens Trinidad’s coastal environment. “I think this would ruin the look and feel of the Trinidad area,” commented petition signer Stan Binnie of Arcata. “Trinidad is known for its scenic beauty and the feeling of a more rural and wild place. This hotel is something that belongs in Florida or Waikiki. “It is completely incompatible with the North Coast environment, and I hope the Rancheria will have a change of heart about what they are proposing,” he wrote. The California Coastal Commission (CCC) will rule Wednesday, June 12, in San Diego on whether the controversial high-rise hotel project conforms to the state Coastal Act. A May 24 staff report recommends a “No” vote on the project because it exceeds standards for building height on the Humboldt Coast, and because it has no confirmed source of water. It was the second negative staff analysis of the hotel development. Structures taller than three stories are prohibited in the Coastal Zone on the Humboldt coast. At five stories, the proposed hotel would be about 64 feet tall, or nearly 30 feet taller than any other building on the coast. HARP’s online petition makes two points: 1. “A five-story high-rise hotel development is wrong for the coast about
ON TRINIDAD BAY The proposed Hyatt hotel.

Trinidad Bay.” And 2. More public input is needed, and the Coastal Commission’s hearing on the matter should be held in Eureka, where local residents can have a voice. The petition was circulated in late April and May in the hope that hotel developers would agree to delay the hearing until Coastal Commission’s regular meeting in Eureka in August. The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), which represents the Trinidad Rancheria in the process, declined to postpone. “Although the petition failed to convince the BIA and Rancheria to give more local residents a chance to participate in the review process, the 1,300 signatures send a strong message to the developers and regulators that this design is out of place and needs more work,” HARP said. “The Trinidad shoreline is a sacred and unsullied place
that needs protecting.” Dozens of petition signers echo that argument. “Trinidad is one of the most pristine and beautiful coastal regions of California. This is because it is NOT disturbed by major developments and human creations,” wrote Malcolm O’Toole of Eureka. “The hotel will detract from the natural beauty of the location.” Non-residents from across the U.S. who admire the Humboldt coast also chimed in. Cynthia Louis of Fort Collins, Colorado, used to live in Humboldt. “Trinidad is a magical historical and environmental gem that should not evolve into a Cancun-like attraction,” she wrote. Johnny Imgrund of Minneapolis agreed: “That’s one of the most beautiful stretches of beachfront on the Pacific Northwest. Also the most fragile. This is not sustainable.” Brian Taylor of Oakland said, “This proposal is a bad idea for Trinidad Bay.” Ellen Taylor of Eureka called the proposed hotel “a monstrosity,” adding, “To stick it in beautiful Trinidad is an insult to Mother Earth herself.” And Toby Vanlandingham of Klamath said more study is needed. “I believe the current proposed water usage and environmental impact report is horribly underestimated and needs a thorough third-party review before this project is put on the table for approval,” he said. HARP has urged the developers to consider a smaller scale, three-story project that fits in better with the scenic rural surroundings. About HARP: HARP is an informal grassroots group dedicated to informing citizens about major development projects in their communities that could affect their lives and environment.

Dog parklessness will be a thing for a while, but hope is on the horizon
F
or those Arcata-dwellers who have been suffering under the yoke of dog-park-lessness, "hope" is a subjective term often met with a bitter laugh. Eureka and McKinleyville taunt us with their giant, multiple dog paradises, where mutts romp offleash and chase balls unfettered by city ordinances. Your humble writer offers her own dog, one Rex “Bone” Brotman, as evidence of the suffering inflicted on tax-paying Arcatans. He suffers through the tedium of daily gas-guz-
zling drives to those hamlets lucky enough to have city councils that have the temerity to actually get a dog park built. Said author had the pleasure of discussing the issue with our own city manager, Karen Diemer, at her office in City Hall mid-March. Ms. Diemer is confident that contrary to all appearances, progress is being made. Apparently if Arcata gave the go-ahead, in some unspecified way, a dog park could be thrown up almost immediately at the D Street Linear Park. Why isn't that happen-

an area called Happy Valley off of West End Road. “To pay the local entities, we need to either sell (the properties) and redistribute the money ... or enter into final compensation agreements with the local tax entities,” says Ms. Diemer. “This process,” she says, should be done "by the end of the calendar year." So that's one piece. The other piece is environmental cleanup. Little Lake was originally purchased for "mixed use development," says Ms. Diemer. "Originally the City had several options. The City could work with the EPA to go through a clean up process. That was the original vision," but that work was put on pause after Jerry Brown put the kibosh on redevelopment. The property went into “dissolution” and now, essentially, after the City finds out how contaminated it is, they/we have to find out how to fund a clean up. Reports from “the lab” should have been back by the end of April. Best case scenario, says
Ms. Diemer, could be the end of the year for these two matters to be settled. Then, the council still has to commit to using the site, and how much. That won’t be on the docket until “the community wants it,” which won’t be encouraged “until we can say the contamination will look like this, compensation will look like this.” Why aren’t other properties being considered seriously? There is currently existing fencing on the D Street Linear Park, but the D Street people aren’t fans, and meanwhile the impetus seems to be with the organized Little Lake people. Ms. Diemer says the only thing keeping Arcata from having a dog park immediately is that the momentum is behind the Little Lake area, which is being promoted as “premier” and is certainly the biggest conveniently located possibility. So what can we do as desperate dog owners? We can: 1. Go to City Council meetings and write letters encouraging looking at the Valley West site and D Street Linear Park, and/or 2. Join the Arcata Dog Park group and follow their lead (they want to wait for Little Lake) and, 3. Be patient, ignoring the fact that our dogs have very finite lives and a day without a dog park for us is like a week to them, and continue chauffering our pups to the beach and Mckinleyville Dog Park. Jada Brotman is a dog owner, mom and the Union’s advertising manager.

Fish Festival Sunday in Trinidad
Mary Tanferani
ary Tanferani was born March 11, 1921 in Dow’s Prairie, Calif. just above McKinleyville to Roman and Nella Dal Porto. She attended Arcata Elementary School and graduated from Arcata High School in 1939. Mary married her husband Angelo in Arcata on Oct. 6, 1941 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Arcata. For some years they were ranchers in the Ferndale and Arcata area. After a few years they moved to Arcata in 1951. In 1954 they purchased Albee & Buck Wholesale Distributors along with Mary’s sister Yolonda and brother in law Marino Sichi. Over the years Mary was very active in St. Mary’s Church, PTA, an avid bowler, a great seamstress and upholsterer and loved to paint. At the time St. Mary’s Catholic School was built, she spent countless hours painting the school.
She was also a charter member of the Italian Catholic Federation in 1959. Mary also worked at A. Brizard Inc. in the office for sometime. She is survived by her daughter, Elena David, son Don Tanferani, (Vickey) grandchildren Brian David (Wendy), Jan David-DeVore, Kevin Tanferani (Beth), Cindy Marshall (Scott), great-grandchildren Lindsey Devore, Kaylee David, Cortney David, Ryan and Ellie, Cami Marshall, and great-great-grandchildren Jacob Steele and Cobe Duncan.
She was preceded in death by her parents Roman and Nella Dal Porto, her sister Yolonda and brother-in-law Marino Sichi, her son-in-law Kenneth David and many relatives in the US and Italy. The family would like to extend a thank you to Dr. Christopher Lee for many years of great care, the staff at Sea View Rehabilitation and Timber Ridge for the great care she received.

Richard Travis Gurney
ichard Travis Gurney went home to be with Jesus on June 3, 2019, at the age of 78. He was a life long Humboldt County resident. Richard was born on Nov. 27, 1940 to Travis and Grace Johnson Gurney. He served as a Private 4th Class in US Army from 1963 to 1966, receiving medals for being a rifle and light machine gun sharp shooter, expert bayonet, and for good conduct. In 1966 he started his employment with the City of Arcata as a dispatcher and then fulfilled his goal and became a full time police officer in 1973. He served in that role for 27 years, retiring from the Arcata Police Department in January of 1993. During the 27 years working for the city, he accomplished several goals. One being that he established his schools program where he was appropriately named “Officer Friendly.” This was one of his ac-
complishments that he was most proud of. Retirement did not last for long as he took a money courier position with Big Oil & Tire in 1994 and fully retired in 2011. Anyone who knew or met Richard was sure to hear his latest joke or one of his many favorite cop memories. He will definitely be remembered for his sense of humor and ability to always have a joke on hand. He enjoyed his daily crosswords and letter jumbles (with his wife’s help), going to the casino with family and friends, watching Family Feud nightly and woodworking in his shop. One activity that he truly enjoyed was watching whatever sports his grandsons were playing; he would be there in the stands sporting his school spirit by wearing a ball cap for whatever team they were representing. He enjoyed reading (especially

Get pally with survivors Allie and Mali

First up is Allie. Allie came to the shelter last July with a dislocated hip. After she had surgery for that, it was discovered that she also had a torn ACL. Poor girl went through surgery again! Fortunately she is young and strong and is now do-

veterinary procedures that are outside of the shelter’s limited budget. Like so many charities, December is the big giving month and by mid-year the cupboards are looking pretty bare. Donations are always welcome! This week’s column features two dogs who have benefitted from the fund and who have been lucky enough to recuperate in foster homes. This gives us so much more information about their personalities and behavior. Ideally, we’d love for these girls to go from foster home to forever home without having to go back to the shelter in between.
ing very well. Allie is about two years old and has come a long way in her foster home. Her foster mom says that she is sweet, happy, rambunctious and loves Animal Planet. “She improves everyday – leash etiquette, commands. She likes to snuggle, has learned to stay off the couch, but knows she can get in beds. She’s very smart and will be a great addition to any family with older children and no cats.” Allie has come to Sunday dog class and has done very well. She is enthusiastic and a fast learner. Her foster family is going out of town in July and
we would love to find her a new home by then. You can see videos of Allie watching Animal Planet on the Humboldt County Animal Shelter Facebook page! She is also a big fan of Pit Bulls and Parolees. It’s funny how some dogs are entranced by television and others don’t notice it at all. If you’re looking for a TV-watching buddy who will also keep you company out on the trail, contact the shelter today about meeting Allie! Our other girl out in foster is Mali. Mali also arrived at the shelter needing orthopedic surgery. Mali
Mali also spent most of December as a guest out at the Blue Lake Casino, charming visitors to the hotel there. Several people were interested in adopting her but were leery of taking on a dog that needed medical attention. Now her injury has been repaired and she is ready for her forever home. This is a gentle dog that loves her daily walks with her family. She is loyal and stays close to them even off of the leash. She is a great family dog and has been living with a four year old child. Both Allie and Mali are
Mali is an 8-year-old German Shepherd mix. Her foster mom says “She is a very sweet girl who loves going on walks and car rides. She is good on leash and responds to basic commands. She would be happy to shake your hand, and greet you when you arrive. Mali loves to be with her people. She would make a great adventure companion, but also doesn’t mind relaxing with you at home.”
spayed, microchipped and current on their vaccinations. They are available through the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. You can call them at (707) 840-9132 to arrange to meet either of these dogs or you can contact Redwood Pals Rescue at redwoodpalsrescue@gmail. com to have us help arrange an introduction. You can also leave a voicemail for Redwood Pals at (707) 633-8842.
A lap-ready Ragdoll: the incredible Iggy
T
his week we’re excited to introduce you to Iggy, a one-yearold Ragdoll mix with the super powers of ultra affection, extreme playfulness, and superb napping! This is Iggy’s second time looking for a home through Companion Animal Foundation. His first adopter was not quite prepared for one of the most Iggy common of cat behaviors: scratching exciting things. Plenty of scratching posts and toy stimulation usually does the trick, but we happily took Iggy back into our care rather than let him go through the inhumane process of being declawed. Iggy absolutely loves spending time with the other kittens and would do wonderfully either as a single pet or as the newest member of a family with a pack of their own already. Could you spare your lap for the Incredible Iggy? All of our adoptable cats are available to meet at 88 Sunny Brae Center,
Arcata from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Please be aware that the animals featured here may have applications in the process of being reviewed. If you are interested in a specific animal, please give us a call at (707) 826-7387 or come by to fill out an application. We recommend bringing your family or roommates with you to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone! All of the animals at Companion Animal Foundation have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, treated for parasites, and are up to date on their vaccines.
Open Thursday and Friday at 5 p.m., Saturday at 6 p.m.
Enjoy live jazz every night.

Arcata Main Street 29th Annual
Oyster Festival OFFICIAL OYSTER FESTIVAL GUIDE
Saturday, June 15th • 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. • Arcata Plaza
We l c o m e ! ArcAtA mAin Street’S ArcAtA BAy oySter FeStivAl tradition continues for the 29th year on June 15, 2019. We focus on our local bounty, environmental health, and the diversity of our community. It’s a celebration of North Coast culture where chefs, merchants, volunteers, and guests revel in award-winning oysters and other tasty non-oyster delicacies, beverages, live local music, and art. When you leave the Arcata Plaza, we know you’ll take a renewed appreciation for our home, our marshes and our bay with you. Oyster Festival is a zero waste event, that means every shell will be composted, every cup (hopefully soon we will all use reusable cups) will be recycled, there will be nothing to take to the dump, because vendors will only be supplying compostables.

Diggin Dirt • 4 to 5:30 p.m. • main Stage
Diggin Dirt began planting its roots back in 2011 in Arcata. The original lineup was a jammed-out quintet that consisted of a double guitar rhythm section and a tenor saxophone. The original five (Rory Urquhart, Joey Incorvaia, Drew Weitzel, John Callahan and Aaron Gottesman) had high hopes of getting house party gigs and maybe one day performing on a stage. Practices, gigs and seasons passed as the band traveled through many incarnations of members and genres. The band took pieces from each chapter and kept moving forward, all the while staying anchored to the heavy groove element that Diggin Dirt has become known for.In 2016, Diggin Dirt found its current form when it added a Humboldt local, the soul man Zach Alder, and his commanding vocal element, into the mix. The horn section also evolved when it rounded out its sound with the addition of Tyler Martin on baritone saxophone. The newly conglomerated 7-piece band had instant chemistry, and after only a few months of playing together, released their Full Season LP. Their debut album is comprised of 11 tracks that showcase musical influences ranging from Afrobeat to reggae and rock, always with that characteristic funky Diggin Dirt soul.

gressive folk band comprised of members Dominic Romano, Michael Dayvid, Evan Morden & Nate Zwerdling. Featuring a mixture of beautiful and catchy originals, classic foot-stompers, and traditional fiddle tunes, The Gatehouse Well brings an unmistakably fun, energetic experience while maintaining the heart and authenticity that makes up the core of the folk style.
DeaD BirD Son • 2:30 p.m. • green Street Stage DeaD BirD Son has a unique sound that makes you think they were pulled out of an isolated mountain village in the 1800s. It’s easy to get lost in thought listening to their music, but the lyrics pull you back. Their instrumentation is well oiled and clean beat after beat, if clean can be used to describe music that sounds like it was just pulled out of a holster. The vocalist has the control to stay on pitch while diverging into twangs and howls, and the soul to pull it off.
ghoSt train • 4 p.m. • green Street Stage ghoSt train is a band from Humboldt County that plays an eclectic mix of R&B, funk and soul with a hint of rock n roll. The musical assemblage of Ghost Train includes soulful vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. Band members include Christina D’Alessandro, lead vocals; Zach Zwerdling, rhythm guitar/band manager; Sam Kaplan-Good, drums/ backup vocals; Jimmy Foot, lead guitar; Sly Holladay, keys; and Nate Zwerdling, bass.

t hE o ystEr i ndustry and m EthodoLogy SheltereD from ocean WaveS anD StormS by the North and South spits, Humboldt Bay’s excellent water quality and healthy estuarine environment have created an extraordinary hot spot for shellfish mariculture, particularly oysters. Oyster production has a long history in Humboldt Bay, dating back to the 1850s, but really became established as an industry after World War II. Today, the industry includes growing seed and adult oysters and focuses on environmentally friendly production using rack and bag, long line culture and suspended culture. These techniques also produce an extremely fit oyster with a delicate flavor. Oysters grown using these methods take approximately 2 years to reach harvestable size. Approximately 70% of California’s oysters are sustainably grown in Humboldt Bay, which is considered the oyster capital of California. Oyster farming in Humboldt Bay is estimated to generate $9.6 million for the Humboldt County economy annually. “These oyster farmers do more good for the environment by accident than most people do intentionally”. – Congressman Mike Thompson at an event in DC Feb. 2011
ince 1890 our family-owned company has worked hard to maintain productive forests by replanting, protecting fish and wildlife and continually improving the stewardship of the land. Our sustainably managed forests provide quality products, local jobs and support our local economy.
