KHSU crisis worsens as advisory board slams embattled manager; staff alleges harassment, unsafe workplace; major donor threatens to quit, hire att’y for fired employee

HUMBOLDT STATE – It’s hard to tell which emotion the KHSU staff and volunteer community feels more strongly – love for dismissed Operations Director Katie Whiteside or loathing for the man who fired her, General Manager Peter Fretwell.

The station has been in severe turmoil ever since Whiteside’s May 15 dismissal, with longtime station staff, volunteers and listeners voicing objections to the substance and style of Fretwell’s management. Among other consequences, the station’s regular June fundraiser was cancelled. A3

HUMBOLDT BAY – The county’s Grand Jury has flagged multiple safety issues related to the Humboldt Bay Trail and has “significant concern” about the use of the U.S. Highway 101 shoulder connecting two developed segments. The Grand Jury is calling for a “safety barrier” along the unfinished U.S. Highway 101 shoulder stretch. Other safety-related recommendations include “regular daily security patrols” and installation of “safety lighting” in some areas. The Grand Jury also recommends safety-oriented signage,

ARCATA – The information kiosk at Co-op that helped so many Arcata folk secure housing, find their lost cat, sell a meteorite and even fall in love will soon be no more. The plucky little glorified 3x5 card holder at the eastern edge of the store’s parking lot is to be razed to make way for a Zagster bike sharing station. Demolition was to begin Friday, July 1, according to Laurie Talbert, Co-op director of Marketing & Membership. It will take several days to completely remove the iconic kiosk. The once-vital kiosk has been in decline for years, it’s mission fatally undermined by the Internet and Craigslist. “There have been very few

KHSU | Station crisis deepens as staff tensions rise FROM A1

The station’s first Community Advisory Board (CAB) meeting on May 30 following Whiteside’s sacking was tumultuous, with expressions of support for her and disdain for Fretwell. The Wednesday, June 27 CAB meeting was little different, with impassioned support for Whiteside and characterizations of Fretwell as someone unpleasant, even unsafe to work with. The meeting concluded with a CAB vote of No Confidence in Fretwell, but it’s unclear what, if any, effect the essentially symbolic vote will have. Fretwell wasn’t present at the June meeting, nor were other university officials cast in a negative light, including Vice President Craig Wruck and President Lisa Rossbacher. The meeting began with an extended moment of silence to honor beloved Fogou host Gregg “Vinny” Devaney, who passed away the day before. Development Director David Reed said the station has lost about $35,000 in annual revenue from canceled station memberships and underwriting. CAB member Jana Kirk-Levine said Wruck told her the HSU Advancement Foundation would make up the loss. (Wruck denies that this would happen.) Also of concern is the 75 members who have pulled out, whom CAB Chair Tom Hinz described as “influencers” in the community. Some of the CAB members had met with Wruck and Rossbacher in the wake of Whiteside’s termination, but the results were not especially heartening. Boardmember Barbara Boerger said Wruck told the CAB that Fretwell had been hired as an “agent of change.” She noted that Wruck never told the CAB, the staff or volunteers about any changes he thought should be made over the six years. Kirk-Levine lamented the lack of a strategic plan for the station, and said the board needed a retreat to develop one. She also said the station needs a “forensic audit.” CAB member Ben Winker said he was appalled at the audacity of the administration’s “subterfuge” and “secret agenda that we don’t know about.” He urged those concerned with the matter to write letters to Rossbacher, the CSU Board of Trustees, and even Governor Jerry Brown. Kirk-Levine said some relatively trivial problems at the station put KHSU on Wruck’s radar. Apparently some expletives were blurted out on the air by interview guests, and some

inaccurately stated station identification announcements. “They were really small,” she said. “These were just little tiny housekeeping matters that Mr. Wruck chose to show us were the big deal.” Some attendees objected to the administration’s opacity with regard to its intentions for the station. Volunteer Bonnie Burgess said she had written letters to Wruck and Rossbacher but received no response. She called on Fretwell to resign, a statement that drew applause. Ethnic Excursions host Halimah Collingwood voiced a suspicion many have privately expressed. “Most of us feel that they want to turn the station into a really easy, NPR/PRI syndicated programming and... maybe have a couple of volunteers on the weekend,” she said. “It’s a lot easier to run a station like that.” Boerger said Wruck had denied this, but not shared his vision for the station. Station staff and volunteers said the same lack of communication is in play within the station. “It’s clear to me that the university does not care about us,” said volunteer Russ Cole. “Fretwell doesn’t talk to his own staff.” “That is correct,” said Office Manager Lorna Bryant. Cole said Fretwell holds volunteers in disdain, and that Wruck had condemned the volunteers as “entitled” and mostly concerned with their own egos. Support and work safety The dirge of dudgeon for station and university leadership continued along these lines until a few genuine bombshells dropped. Phil Ricord, owner of Wildberries Marketplace and a donor of about $20,000 to the station annually, read a letter he had written to Rossbacher which he said elicited no reply. In the letter, he explained his long relationship with the station and concerns and his concern about Whiteside’s dismissal. Ricord asked for a meeting with Rossbacher and Fretwell to address his concerns about whether he should continue his support. “If money talks, my money should talk, and it apparently doesn’t seem to talk,” he said. “I’ll pull my $18,000 a year plus what I give if that’s in the best interests of KHSU, and I’m not sure that it is.” Ricord said the administration doesn’t care about the station, so financial reprisals may not sway them. He also offered to hire an attorney for Whiteside to see about restoring her employment, but only if she wants the job back. “What does Katie want?” he asked repeatedly. “Does she want her job back?”

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. – Aristotle Onassis

Whiteside has steadfastly declined all comment on the grinding controversy. Friends say she is uncomfortable with the attention lavished on her since her dismissal and wishes to maintain what privacy she can. “What do you want me to do?” Ricord asked. “Do you want me to pull my $20,000 a year out? Hold them to the fire? And do you think that’s gonna do any good?” Ricord later said he was “conflicted” about pulling his station support, because it could give the administration “a reason to push it over the edge.” Another headline happened when Program and Operations Coordinator Jessica Eden said Fretwell lied to her and made inappropriate comments about Whiteside. She said she had a “profound lack of confidence” in Fretwell. “I found him lying to my face on a regular basis,” Eden said. She said he also spoke disparagingly of Whiteside several times, labeling her “damaged” and other unpleasant terms, and that he withheld information from her. “He was undermining her professionally,” Eden said. She said Whiteside was “targeted and harassed” by Fretwell. She referred to him as “his own little package of mess.” “I feel completely unsafe at work,” Eden said. “I consider it a hostile work environment. I don’t know what’s coming next out of this guy.” Added Eden, “Much of the staff comes up and hides in the studio with me because they do not want to be in Wagner House with him.” “I can vouch for that,” Collingwood said. “Unfortunately, I don’t have that luxury,” Byant said. “I’m the one who interacts the most now, and it is most uncomfortable.” HSU perspective Though he hadn’t seen the CAB meeting (viewable at the KHSU Facebook page) Vice President Craig Wruck interrupted a family vacation to offer interim responses to the major issues raised. He said “there is a lot of misinformation out there” regarding the station. Wruck said the administration is looking at a strategic plan to best deliver KHSU’s unique hybrid model of public and community radio. That, he said, must include new “delivery channels” apart from the traditional broadcast radio. One facet he said he’d like to restore to the station

is “a bigger role for undergraduates,” with the station playing a larger role in curriculum. :”That was its roots and we’ve sort of deviated from that,” Wruck said. He said a draft policy statement should be ready by fall, and that the CAB, staff and public “have to be involved.” Wruck said he was initially “stunned” by the no confidence vote, but welcomes its feedback. “A healthy and creative environment requires diverse ideas on how to serve the public the best and we need an array of different perspectives,” Wruck said. He said Fretwell came to KHSU with 30 years of radio experience, and that “he is here to make change and improvements.” He said he didn’t intend for the term “agent of change” to come off as negative, “but people definitely heard it that way.” The questions before KHSU include “the station’s role in connection with the university’s mission, and how it relates to other university priorities.” “The university needs to be confident that the radio station is fulfilling its mission.” He said the lost support comprised perhaps 3 or 4 percent of station revenue, and called the losses “disconcerting.” He said the station will run a deficit this year, but that “We have the resources to operate at a deficit.” But, he said, the funds will not come from University Advancement. With regard to Whiteside’s dismissal, Wruck said it was “very difficult” but that the management should be given “the benefit of the doubt.” He again took the blame for the messy way it went down. “I should have done a better job of communicating with staff earlier,” he said. He said he understood how well-liked Whiteside is, but that “I don’t think she can be reinstated.” Wruck confirmed that the CSU Office of Audit and Advisory Services (OAAS) will be looking at the station. Among the matters the OAAS will evaluate are liability when non-employees do programming, as well as liability for volunteers’ safety and security on state-owned facilities. “It’s going to take time to rebuild trust and confidence, and we have to do that,” Wruck said. “The radio station is not going away.”

Talbert said. “We have a very creative, hands-on group in our maintenance department who have ideas for putting those materials to good use.” Humboldt State University already hosts several Zagster bike stations. The non-electric “townie” style bikes are rented via use of a smartphone app, with a $2 hourly fee. While it’s not clear when Co-op’s will be installed, two are going in on the Plaza. Installation of one at Ninth and G streets was completed Friday. Another, located by Café Brio, will go in sometime in coming weeks. Another bike station will be installed at the Intermodal Transit Facility within a week, with another in Northtown soon to follow. Revolution Bikes is assisting with installation of the stations and maintenance of the bikes. It presently handles maintenance for the Humboldt State stations. Sean Tetrault of Revolution Bikes said installation of the Plaza stations is to begin Thursday.

MCKINLEYVILLE – On Thursday, June 28 at about 2:17 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies on patrol in the McKinleyville area observed a suspicious male subject riding a bicycle on School Road. Deputies observed the subject turn down Windsor Avenue and stop his bike in the driveway of a business. When deputies made contact with the subject, 32-year-old Laszlo Istavan Pethes, they learned that Pethes had an active misdemeanor warrant for his arrest. During a search of Pethes, deputies located a hypodermic syringe. In his backpack, deputies located methamphetamine, additional syringes and metal knuckles. Pethes was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on his warrant for the following charges: vehicle theft, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving on a suspended or revoked license. He was also booked on fresh charges of possession of metal knuckles, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Anyone with information regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

ARCATA – If a white plastic goat turns up in your local thrift store, eBay listings or teenager’s bedroom, consider giving Arcata Police a call at (707) 822-2428. Because just such a goat was stolen from Richard’s Goat tavern & Tea Room on Samoa Boulevard sometime in the early morning hours of Monday, June 25. “This would have been premeditated and involved power tools (it was bolted down in multiple places) and either a giant, conspicuous ladder or access to one of the tenants’ windows upstairs,” said tavern co-owner Aimee Hennessey. Though the business’s interior is surveilled by cameras, the outside wasn’t, allowing the goat rustler(s) time to dismantle the mounting and make off with the goat. “It would have taken at least 15 minutes to get it unbolted,” she said. “ She said the goat cost something like $500 all told. “If it doesn’t come back, we’ll try and replace it,” she said. “It’s heavy, too. Somebody was really determined to get our goat.”

ARCATA – Donald Steele, 91, died of injuries sustained in an attack by a dog in Arcata on June 25 just before 11 a.m. The attack took place in the 4900 block of Sierra Way, in the Town & Country Mobile Home Park. Two individuals, both adults, were reportedly mauled by the animal. Steele reportedly intervened when the dog attacked a woman, and it then turned on him. The dog was taken to the Humboldt County Animal Shelter, where it tested negative for rabies, and was euthanized. Steele’s death was determined to be an accident.

Bay Trail | Report urges creating working groups for safety, access of U.S. Highway 101 links the two city segments. Stating that “the major safety concerns of the Humboldt Bay Trail System arise along the county segment,”

Ready to Rock

the Grand Jury refers to a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) survey which “indicates many people share significant concern for the safety of users of this temporary segment.” The report notes that the highway’s vehicle traffic “often moves more rapidly” than the 50 mph speed limit. Those with “limited mobility, sight, hearing, or other disabilities would be in significant danger,” according to the report. That situation motivates several of the report’s recommendations. The Board of Supervisors is called upon to consult with Caltrans by September 1 on the installation of an “appropriate temporary safety barrier” between the Highway 101 shoulder and the vehicle travel lane. The Grand Jury also advises the two cities to each install signs at the ends of their segments, also by Sept. 1, to “alert the public that continuing on the shoulder of Highway 101 may not be safe.” Those recommendations are based on findings, including that “many trail users do not feel safe walking or riding bicycles on the interim trail along the shoulder of Highway 101.” There are also safety concerns related to the finished trail segments. The report finds that “while groups may feel safe on the trail, individuals may not feel safe,” and “adding additional law enforcement may be warranted along each segment of the trail.” As a result, the Grand Jury recommends that the county and the cities each provide the daily patrols by October 1. The safety lighting recommendation also has a timeframe, with installation called for by Oct. 15, 2019. Creation of two working groups is also recommended. One would focus on ensuring full trail access for people with disabilities and another would develop rules for trail use. The report also delves into trail maintenance issues, stating that “efforts of the Volunteer Trail Stewards to keep the trails clean, remove trash and clear excess plant growth are impacted by an insufficient number of regular volunteers.” The Grand Jury believes the county and the recreation departments of Arcata and Eureka should “cooperate to develop a shared list of potential volunteer organizations for community trail work occasions.” As outlined in the report, a trail maintenance fund managed by the Humboldt Area Foundation had at least $240,000 in it at the time of the Grand Jury’s investigation, with an ultimate goal of $1 million for “continual support of the trail.” But as of now “recruitment of adequate numbers of volunteers remains a concern” and “fundraising needs to be ongoing” to augment the county and city spending on trail upkeep. The Arcata trail segment has been open for about 19 months. “Since the opening of the trail, the number of homeless encampments has decreased,” the report states. “Reports of crime have also been reduced.” As noted in the report, Arcata has a park ranger that patrols trails, including the city’s segment of the bay trail. The city’s installation of lighting on the trail segment from 17th Street to the skate park has “added an additional level of security for that section.” The county Board of Supervisors, the City of Arcata, the City of Eureka and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office will develop and release responses to the report’s recommendations.

Man dies after bike hits truck Mad RiveR Union

EUREKA – A Eureka man died June 26, one week after his bicycle collided with a logging truck on Broadway in Eureka. Zachary Herbert, 37, succumbed to his injuries while being treated at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, according to the California Highway Patrol. At 1:34 p.m. on June 21, Herbert was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk and approaching West Cedar Street. When he reached West Cedar Street, he swerved into a 2017 Kentworth big rig, colliding with the truck’s rear wheels. This caused Herbert to become airborne. He flew through the air and crashed into a bus stop pullout. Herbert, who was not wearing a helmet, was rushed to a local hospital, then transfered to Santa Rose. During the collision, a metal lock flew off the bicycle and struck a man in the leg., He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. According to the CHP, driving under the influence is not a factor in the collision. The accident remains under investigation.

Felon disarmed, relieved of ammo and drugs in Redwood Nat/State Park Redwood national and State PaRkS

REDWOOD NATIONAL/STATE PARKS – An Oregon resident has been arrested by Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) law enforcement on multiple charges of possessing illegal firearms and drugs. On June 25 while on routine patrol, park rangers contacted an adult male illegally camping at Freshwater Beach. Rangers identified the camper as Terry Rogers, 62, of North Bend, Ore.. During the ensuing investigation, rangers discovered three loaded firearms inside the vehicle that Rogers was operating. One of the firearms, a .22 caliber revolver, was reported stolen out of Coos County, Ore. They also discovered over 1,500 rounds of various caliber ammunition inside the vehicle. Rangers were able to confirm that Rogers was prohibited from possessing firearms as a convicted felon. Rangers later located a small amount of marijuana inside the vehicle in an open container, and a small amount of methamphetamine along with various items of drug paraphernalia. Terry Rogers was subsequently arrested and booked under the following charges: • PC 29800(a)(1) - Felon in Possession of a Firearm • PC 30305(a)(1) - Felon in Possession of Ammunition • PC 25850(a) - Loaded Firearm in a Vehicle • PC 25400(a)(1) - Concealed Firearm in a Vehicle • PC 25850(c)(2) - Possess Stolen Firearm • HS 11377(a) - Possess Methamphetamine • HS 11364(a) - Possess Paraphernalia • CVC23222(b) - Open Container of Marijuana in Vehicle

J ULY 4, 2018 The Man Who Fired Katie Whiteside

I am writing to add my voice to the numerous letters you have no doubt already received regarding the summary firing of Katie Whiteside and the numerous troubling allegations against KHSU’s General Manager, Peter Fretwell. First, a bit about myself and what I bring to this discussion. I am a 20-plus year veteran programmer for KHSU and have been hosting Alternative Therapy (8 to 10 p.m. Saturdays) since 2000. I was a member of President Rollin Richmond’s KHSU Task Force, which was convened to develop a strategic plan for the station. I have participated in virtual every fund drive for the last 20 years. I served on two hiring committees for KHSU GM’s – for Ed Subkis - and for the current GM, Peter Fretwell. I have worked in public media (first at KEET-TV and now for Access Humboldt) for almost 25 years. I doubt there is much I can add to what others have said about the reckless, cruel and completely unnecessary firing of Katie Whiteside. The chickens have come home to roost with regards to this ham-fisted disaster. If one were to deliberately set out to crater a great public radio station, no one could have done a better job than Mr. Fretwell. Perhaps of even greater concern is the hostile work environment Mr. Fretwell has fostered for KHSU staff and volunteers. His attitude upon arriving here quickly devolved into arrogance and malevolence, with regular reports emanating from Wagner House of violent fits of temper at staff meetings and threats against anyone who “steps out of line.” The browbeating of staff (and volunteers) has been the order of the day. Morale among the very people who know and love the station the best, has sunk to unprecedented levels. One would hope, with past revelations of John Sterns’ psychological abuse of HSU personnel and the more recent attempts of Penn State and Michigan State official’s attempts to paper over more serious abusive situations, Humboldt State have immediately moved to protect station employees. Instead, even knowing what they know, the University appears to have turned a blind eye. HSU administrators may be laboring under the notion that this disaster will blow over. As even the most casual observer can see, it will not. Mr. Fretwell has turned himself into a permanent liability for KHSU. A liability which will hang like a millstone around the neck of the station – and the university – until the day he resigns – or is fired. Fretwell will always be known as “the man who fired Katie Whiteside” and for that reason alone will never be trusted by staff, volunteers and many listeners of KHSU. Support will continue to erode, as less and less people find reasons to support a public radio station who’s leadership has behaved in this manner. I urge KHSU listeners and underwriters who truly care about the station to contact HSU President Lisa Rossbacher. Let her know that allowing Peter Fretwell to continue as general manager is unacceptable. Ask that Katie Whiteside be reinstated without delay. I hesitate to suggest that the community withhold it’s monetary support. Unfortunately, money may be the only leverage we have with an administration that appears to care about nothing else. Yours Very Truly, Matthew Knight Eureka

Tokes for tariffs

Based on the recent actions of KHSU General Manager Fretwell – the firing of Katie Whiteside, verbal harassment and intimidation of employees and demoralization of the volunteers and staff, I recently informed David Reed, KHSU’s development director, that I had decided – like many other community members – to not leave a planned giving contribution for the KHSU endowment and also suspended my sustaining donation. I’ve had some time to think about the causes of the current crisis and I’d like to share some thoughts about long-term solutions that would give me a reason to reconsider these actions. It is important to put the current KHSU crisis in context. None of the community uproar, staff demoralization and related problems would be occurring had the HSU administration not used a fundamentally flawed hiring process. Hiring a general manager for KHSU MUST involve the listening community in the selection of an initial pool of qualified candidates. Given (1) the dependence of the station on community support – funding, volunteers, and underwriting; (2) the cooperation and teamwork approach that characterizes the functioning of volunteers and staff; and (3) the deep half-century involvement of the community in shaping programming, it makes no sense at all to hire someone who is a top-down, autocratic “leader” who lacks any appreciation or belief in the value of the cooperative collaborative approach KHSU has used since its origin to offset limited resources and take advantage of flexibility. Senior HSU administrators mostly come and go leaving the effects of their decisionmaking behind, while our community remains to suffer the consequences, as does KHSU. The HSU administration’s closed loop culture and transient nature is clearly unsuited for reliably hiring a KHSU general manager whose persona and style of management needs to fit in with a station that from its earliest years has been operated by volunteers and staff who place a premium on open, robust communication, both internally and with the community of listeners who have been the backbone of the station. KHSU and the community are bound together in a tight and intimate fabric. In my opinion the solution is to involve the listening community and station volunteers and staff in the initial selection of candidates. They should have an advisory voice, if not a vote. A screening group consisting of a member of the Community Advisory Board, a station volunteer selected by the volunteers and a staff member selected by staff should be allowed to independently interview candidates and provide advice to the university’s hiring committee as to the suitability of the initial pool of GM candidates. This is a common screening model used successfully by service providing non-profits and agencies. A community filter would ensure the HSU hiring committee would be choosing someone from a pool of candidates who all bring the management style and experience needed to successfully lead KHSU. Fretwell is clearly the product of a failed hiring process that will continue to have problematic results so long as it lacks an effective community screening component. Fretwell is a mistake that must be rectified,

OPINION

but only after an appropriate hiring process is put in place. Another problem exists that has been painfully revealed under Fretwell’s management: at-will staff have no rights or means to have legitimate grievances addressed and resolved fairly and objectively. Staff deserve a fair and equitable evaluation process and procedures that assess performance relative to job description requirements. Currently, at-will employees such as Katie lack a job description. This is ludicrous. Going a step further, I believe all KHSU staff should have the option of being represented by a union of their choice; most other university employees are indeed union members. KHSU at-will staff should be accorded the protection and representation that shields them from arbitrary, vindictive and intimidating actions inconsistent with established personnel management standards. The administration would earn back some lost community respect if it made these proposed improvements. A favorable resolution of these two big picture issues is a win-win solution – it would stabilize and strengthen the station by rebuilding the community’s trust, and it would begin rebuilding the administration’s damaged relationship with the community.

KHSU Memo of the Week

KHSU COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD MEMORANDUM To: Craig C. Wruck, Vice President, HSU University Advancement, Dr, Lisa Rossbacher, Humboldt State University (HSU) President From: Tom Hinz, KHSU Community Advisory Board (CAB) Chair Subject: KHSU Community Feedback to HSU University Date: June 29, 2018 Cc: Peter Fretwell (KHSU General Manager), CAB Members Since May 15, 2018, the members of the KHSU Community Advisory Board (CAB) have received a deluge of communication from community members at an unprecedented level. We have been contacted via social media, phone and email, receiving correspondence addressed to the CAB as a whole and to individual CAB members. Casual meetings with friends, acquaintances, and strangers at public places or events, and even in our work places have led to outpourings of questions and concerns regarding KHSU. The last two CAB meetings were held in larger venues to accommodate increased crowds of concerned individuals, a significant change compared to the typical attendance at the CAB’s monthly meetings. Members of the public, the community of listeners who engage daily with KHSU and those who support KHSU have spoken loudly, repeatedly, and with great passion with regard to their concerns, the strained relationship between HSU and KHSU, and their lack of confidence in the KHSU general manager. The message from those of the KHSU community who have engaged with the CAB in the last month is clear, and the CAB would be remiss in its duties if we did not share that message with those who make the guiding decisions for KHSU. The members of the KHSU community who have voiced their opinion, through the conduit of the

A5 KHSU CAB, formally submits their vote of no confidence in Peter Fretwell as General Manager of KHSU, and respectfully requests his termination. There is a troubling lack of transparency from HSU with regard to community relations in regard to KHSU. The community hopes that HSU understands how important KHSU is to all of us. The listeners and volunteers, in partnership with HSU, have kept KHSU vibrantly alive for over 50 years. Many of us are HSU alumni and consider KHSU to be our most important link to HSU. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, A quorum of the KHSU Community Advisory Board

Grateful for KHSU platform

Tonight, June 27, I attended a meeting of the Community Advisory Board of radio station KHSU. Board members, station staff and volunteers, and community discussed recent administrative decisions which have affected the station. I have been a listener and supporter for decades and was glad to be able to hear the voices of many of the staff and volunteers whose work and dedication I have appreciated so much. I am so grateful to KHSU for providing a platform for these people to share their talents with listeners. They give inspiration, education, networking and musical entertainment which sustains our community. Carol Woods Arcata

Tokes for tariffs

Humboldt County may have a headache due to its backlog of several thousand various pot-related permit applications submitted for review, but the U.S. Commerce Department has an even bigger one. Because of the Trump-imposed steel and aluminum tariffs, the department now faces over 20,000 requests for exemption filed by businesses that claim there is no suitable domestic metal supply to fill their needs. And so far, only 98 have been decided. Perhaps the Board of Supervisors should consider sending them a Care Package of a little local product to help them with the pain. Sherman Schapiro Blue Lake

UNDAM THE KLAMATH The Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) filed the Definite Plan for Klamath Dam removal with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) June 29. The Definite Plan provides specific details regarding the removal of the lower four Klamath River dams, the largest such effort in U.S. history. At over 1,500 pages, the Definite Plan provides comprehensive analysis and detail on project design, decommissioning, reservoir restoration, and other post-deconstruction activities. “The release of the Definite Plan represents a major milestone in the effort to remove Klamath dams and restore fisheries on the North Coast,” said Fifth District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg. “Humboldt County continues to be a strong advocate for Klamath dam removal and we support the collaboration of agencies and organizations working hard to make dam removal on the Klamath River a reality.” The plan to remove Klamath dams stems from a 2010 Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (later amended in 2016) signed by Humboldt County along with the Governors of California and Oregon, Karuk and Yurok Tribes, dam owner PacifiCorp, conservation groups, and other parties. A comprehensive review of the benefits of Klamath dam removal by the Interior Department in 2012 concluded that Klamath dam removal would dramatically improve water quality in the Klamath River and increase Chinook salmon populations by 81 percent.

BLUE LAKE – They even have a manhole cover to prove it. Blue Lake is the Center of the Universe. Artist Margo Whitcomb painted it and there was a parade to celebrate its unveiling. Blue Lake is just a parade kind of place. Marvin Samuels and Mariel Morison reminisced about their first years in Blue Lake. He’s lived there for 34 years and she came in 2009. “We were walking with family,” she said, “and a whole parade of red-nosed clowns went by. No one blinked an eye.” The two call themselves “the Marvin and Mariel show.” He’s the current president of the Blue Lake Chamber of Commerce and she’s the past president. He’s a member of the Old Crows and she’s a member of the LOLAS, the Ladies of the Lake Anti-Temperance Society and a former volunteer at the Blue Lake Museum. What the two of them don’t know about Blue Lake wouldn’t be worth knowing. Parades are a way of life in the sunny town. The annual Annie & Mary Day Celebration on Sunday, July 8 starts off with a parade at 11 a.m. and parties all day from there. And it’s all free. “Anyone can be in the parade,” Morison said. “They just have to fill out an application (download it at sunnybluelake.com) and register at the line-up at 10 a.m.” “The parade’s a mix of Norman Rockwell meets the Furry Freak Broth-

Apple cider, apple butter, apples!

y father lived to be a healthy 94 without ever spending the night in a hospital. He attributed his good health to Tiger's Milk (brewer's yeast) which he carried in baggies even on business trips and a daily dose of apple cider vinegar mixed into a glass of water. He would have loved the apple cider vinegar hand crafted by Shelly and Ron Honig of Honey Apple Farms on sale at their booth at the Arcata Farmers' Market. The Honigs grow 15 varieties of disease-resistant organic apples from which they make apple butter, apple cider, and apple cider vinegar. The vinegar takes three to nine months to ferment. "We add nothing," Ron Honig said, "but the starter from the previous year. It's gelatinous so we cut it with a scissors into one inch squares." Their vinegar is so popular that it is often sold out. "We've been doing vinegars for thirty years for ourselves ("and our friends, Shelly Honig chimed in) and one day Shelly said 'let's see if we can sell it.' The end of the story," Ron Honig said, "is occasionally it's good to listen to your wife." They also grow plums, blueberries, Asian pears, and a variety of vegetables at what they call their "retirement business," 2 and 1/2 acres off West End Road.

HONEY APPLE FARMS Ron and Shelly Honig. Janine VolkMar | union Ron Honig was a computer programmer who jokes that he "traded his pc in on an apple" and Shelly Honig was "lucky enough to be a full-time mother to three children" before working as a public health nurse for Humboldt County. They make the apple butter "together," using what at any one time could be a combination of five apple varieties and "secret" spices. As we chatted at the market late in the day, customer after customer came to the booth to request the apple butter which, alas, had sold out earlier in the day. They sell their apple cider vinegar for “mainly health benefits and culinary benefits.” In unison, they added, “we make no health claims.” They don’t, but my father would.

Businesses and Non-Profits are encouraged to sponsor a square for only $100 ($125 if they do not have their own artist).

You’ll join the seminar, then things get weird Glitter Gizzard

EUREKA – For one night only, female physical theatre collective Glitter Gizzard performs their internationally toured play The Seminar with Madge and Taffy at Synapsis on Commercial Street in Eureka on Saturday, July 7 at 9 p.m. after Arts Alive. Tickets are pay-what-you-can at the door. Madge and Taffy, of Sittendouche Industries, proudly invite you to their sensationally groundbreaking (and patented) Dream Dump Seminar. Put on a nametag and buckle in, because these endearingly outrageous eccentrics are determined to help you find the happiness you deserve by revealing their dubious Dream Dump method. Things begin to bend toward the surreal when Madge uncovers a por-

tal, via the Dream Dump extraction device, to an underworld casino teeming with demons and evil shrimp buffets. The revelation of a dark secret pulls the curtain back on the past and threatens to tear Madge and Taffy's friendship apart as a powerful demon overlord lures them to his lair. This comedic duo must fight for their lives, and their friendship. The show is created by Glitter Gizzard members Allie Menzimer (Dell’Arte International MFA graduate) and Janessa Johnsrude (Dell’Arte International MFA graduate and faculty member) with sound design by local musician Cory Goldman. The Seminar with Madge and Taffy plays at Synapsis Nova, at 212 G St, Eureka. The show is 50 minutes long and begins at 9 p.m. after Arts Alive.

he lazy days of summer are here. I hope all of you are getting outside to enjoy our pleasant coastal climate. Remember that if you are taking your dog inland to the river or the mountains you will want them to be protected against heartworms, a parasite that is spread by mosquitoes and is prevalent in Eastern and Southern Humboldt. Heartworm prevention is so much less expensive than heartworm treatment, which can run easily to a thousand dollars and requires months of restricted activity for the dog. Check with your veterinarian for more information about heartworm and its preventatives. On a lighter note, here are some random fun facts to think about when you are out with your dog: Dogs’ ears are extremely expressive. It’s no wonder! There are at least 18 separate muscles that control a dog’s ear movements. Unlike humans who sweat everywhere, dogs only sweat through the pads of their feet. George Washington had a favorite fox hound named Sweetlips and a Dalmatian named Madame Moose. The reason dogs curl up is because of an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm and to protect vital organs while they sleep. You can lower your blood pressure just by petting your pup! Those born under the sign of the dog (a group which includes yours truly!) in Chinese astrology are considered to be loyal and discreet, though slightly temperamental. And lastly for this posting, a group of pugs is called a “grumble.” If you are looking for a companion NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM EVENTS The Humboldt State University Natural History Museum, 1242 G St., Arcata, invites you to the following events: • July 16 - 20, Sustain-

for your summer excursions, Trooper is the dog for you! Trooper is a oneand-a-half year old Boxer and Pit Bull Terrier mix. He walks very nicely on the leash and was our choice to be the first dog walked for one of our newest volunteers this week. He knows sit, down and shake and is very sweet and affectionate. We have found Trooper easy to work with and train. He plays a good game of fetch and will drop the ball on command. In addition Trooper has a lovely dark brindle coat that draws admiring looks when he is out and about. Volunteers describe this dog as down-to-earth and eager to please. Trooper is patient and well-behaved with a variety of dogs and has been the go-to dog for testing dog-friendliness in others. He is neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations. He is available at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. For a different kind of companion we have Rose, a five year old Bulldog mix. This dog will be perfectly happy

in her own backyard (as long as it has a wading pool!) and will leave you laughing with her sweet and goofy personality. Rose was on TV as the shelter’s “Pet of the Week” and then had an outing to the Companion Animal Foundation’s Kids’ Camp last Monday. Rose loved the attention from the campers! She was disappointed that she couldn’t stay longer (like forever, I think) with the kids. Rose came to the shelter with an untreated eye condition that cost her her left eye, but she is unfazed by that. She still plays a good game of ball, loves her time in the wading pool and is happy to go for walks. She would do best staying in the cooler regions of Humboldt for her optimum health. Rose is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. This cutie is also available at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter, located at 980 Lycoming Ave. in McKinleyville near the airport. More info on Rose, Trooper or other available cats and dogs is available at (707) 840-9132. may be your chance. $25 regular, $20 members, $15 seniors and HSU students.
