HUMBOLDT – A county staff report states that sea level rise is

“a significant threat to every aspect of life on the North Coast” but opinions on how to react to it are divided.

sion describes inundation risks in the unincorporated areas surrounding Humboldt Bay. The shoreline’s “vulnerability tipping point” is between two to three feet of sea level rise and those benchmarks are projected for 2050 and 2070 respectively. The report envisions the impacts that could be seen by 2070: “Fifty-nine percent (33 miles) of barrier-like shoreline structures (dikes, railroad and road grades) on Humboldt Bay could be breached or be overtopped by approximately three feet of sea level rise, placing thousands of acres and critical regional assets at risk.” Those assets include King Salmon’s only access road, PG&E’s spent nuclear fuel storage site, areas of U.S. Highway 101, State Route 255 at the Mad River bottom, the Humboldt Bay Trail, 9.6 miles of water transmission lines, 30 electrical transmission towers and 113 transmission poles, the north and south jetties and three of the bay’s 10 bulk cargo/commercial docks. The report also estimates that 62 percent of the ag lands in the county’s Humboldt Bay planning area would be inundated by king tides if three feet of sea level rise happens. The inundation would also envelop 32 percent of the bay area’s industrial/commercial properties, 29 percent of its coastal-dependent industrial properties, 17 percent of its public facilities and 11 percent of its residential parcels.

Humboldt vs. climate change

Mad RiveR Union

HUMBOLDT – West Coast fishermen are fighting the oil and gas industry, accusing 30 fossil fuel companies of advancing climate change and causing a series of Dungeness crab closures. Filed on Nov. 14 in California State Superior Court in San Francisco by the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, the lawsuit takes the oil giants to task for promoting their financial interests at the expense of California and Oregon crab fishermen. Among the defendants are the world’s most powerful oil companies. They’re accused of “deliberately and unnecessarily” deceiving consumers about “the role of fossil fuel products in causing ocean warming and consequent harmful algal blooms and domoic (acid) outbreaks.” The suit essentially accuses the companies of a conspiracy to market their products despite being well aware of the climate change danger. The oil and gas industry is described as being “at the forefront of carbon dioxide research for much of the latter half of the 20th century.” But instead of acting on it by supporting emissions-reducing technology and alternative energy, the oil companies have “funded dozens of think tanks, front groups, and dark money foundations pushing climate

HUMBOLDT STATE – Don’t be afraid to push yourself and get out of your comfort zone in college. It can lead you to do great things you never would have imagined before. In my first three years at HSU, I never joined a club or any resource center. I was extremely closed off and hesitant to do anything outside school and work. That was up until I found out about the Multi-Cultural Center and applied for a position there. I had only visited the Multi-Cultural Center a few times and I wasn’t too familiar with any of the resources and services that they provided. But working here has provided me with great opportunities like putting my graphic design skills to good use. After being hired, I soon realized what a vital resource this is to many students. They provide free printing, various spots to study, a computer lab, and there’s always food to share in the kitchen. But most importantly, this space provides more than free printing; it provides a safe space for those who

MCKINLEYVILLE COMMITTEE The McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee meets today, Nov. 28 at 6 p.m. and will discuss a proposed rezoning of forestland on the east side of town, Central Avenue crosswalks and landscaping on School Road. The meeting takes place at the McKinleyville Middle School Conference Room at 2275 Central Ave. in McKinleyville. The committee will also discuss the Humboldt County Association of Governments’ regional housing needs allocation. PLAZA IMPROVEMENT TASK FORCE Arcata’s Plaza Improvement Task Force meets Thursday, Nov. 29 at 4:30 p.m. in the Senior Dining Room at the Arcata Community Center, 321 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. Agenda items include roll call for members Daniel Bixler, Ryan Campbell, Erica Grey, Laura Hughes, Jayne McGuire, Molly Steele, Jeanette Todd and Jane Woodward; oral communications by the public; a report on research and outreach findings; refine outreach strategy and methods; a report on previous Plaza improvements and outcomes; ratification of regular meeting day and time of third Thursday of each month at 4:30 p.m.; selection of task force chair and vice-chair positions; discuss request to City Council regarding Wiyot Tribe representation on Task Force; and more. Background The 2018/2019 Plaza Improvement Task Force has been created to identify, prioritize and make recommendations to the City Council on projects and programs that would improve the downtown Plaza neighborhood. The Arcata Plaza serves as the epicenter of the community and as the economic hub for Arcata businesses. Shoppers, employees, merchants, tourists, students and families who visit Arcata all take away impressions of our community based on their experiences in the Plaza, and in recent years, the Plaza has seen an increase in aggressive interactions and calls for police service. Based on community outreach and concerns, Arcata City Council created the 2018/2019 Plaza Improvement Task Force to help restore the Arcata Plaza as the centerpiece of the Arcata community. The 2018/2019 Plaza Improvement Task Force will primarily focus on general safety, economic development, infrastructure improvements, beautification and an increase of Plaza-based community activities. Members of the Task Force will also collaborate with key stakeholders and residents to identify priority projects and programs to increase public use and reduce calls for police service.

nut halves, the picked over ones that no one wants after all the chocolate ones are gone. Think about a basket filled with lemon scones, banana bread, corn bread and muffins filled with berries picked fresh. “I don’t do those berry muffins where you get one berry in each muffin,” Diemer said with a laugh. All her fruit pies are vegan. Her cakes include Disappearing Chocolate Cake, Lightning Cake, Apple Spice Cake, and Raspberry-Almond Coffeecake (which, she said, can be made with any kind of berry.) Cobbler choices include peach, nectarine, apricot, and berry. Cookies and brownies are all classic varieties, not listed here because typing this is already making me too hungry. Diemer has just sent in a list of new ingredients and recipes for approval that includes pumpkin and gingerbread. Seasonal choices fit her philosophy of making “everything as organic as possible.” Since the McKinleyville Market has ended for the season, Diemer has been accepted into the Winter Market on the Arcata Plaza, Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through the end of March. Stop by and see her yummy creations there.

“T

here’s a snag just outside our kitchen window,” Susie Black Diemer explained when I asked about the name of her cottage food operation, Twisted Tree Bakery. Diemer lives in Fieldbrook and has worked as a medical assistant and an instructor at College of the Redwoods. She’s in her first year at the McKinleyville Farmers’ Market and already folks are seeking her out. As we sat and talked behind her table there, repeat customers from the weeks before came by to request her muffins, scones and mini pecan pies. “I’m from the South,: one man said as he bought two pecan pies. “I know good pies and these are some.” The baked goods are so good because Diemer got up at five in the morning on her day off from medical assisting to bake and be ready for the afternoon market in McKinleyville. “Everything is baked fresh today,” she told her customers. Diemer is trying a new business approach: the cottage food system where she submitted her list of ingredients for each item for approval through the county and state mandated guidelines. (The California Homemade Food Act went into law in 2013, making it possible for more folks to start a business from a home kitchen.) There are a host of other rules she has to follow in order to bake at home. It’s an adventure for her and one she is excited about. “I’ve baked always,” she said, “since I was a teen.” She’s hoping to build up a clientele for special orders for whole pies, cakes, fruit cobblers and sweet breads. Diemer is willing to deliver from McKinleyville to Trinidad. She would love to be that person who delivers a tray of hot muffins and scones to your group’s meeting. Forget the pink box of do-

Sea level | ‘We should not be shy about saying the sea is rising on Humboldt Bay’ FROM A1

sponse, but when a workshop was held at the Nov. 15 commission meeting, Planning Director John Ford carefully pointed out that the planning is in a formative stage. “I want to take the pressure off tonight’s discussion – we’re not trying to adopt policy here, we’re trying to begin a dialogue about sea level rise,” he said. Ford added that “one of the things we also are not trying to do is prove whether or not sea level rise exists, we know that there are divergent opinions on that.” Before commissioners arrived at that debate, there were allusions to the potential economic losses of sea level rise policy-making. As commissioners considered a policy to plan for the highest inundation level scenario, Commissioner Mike Newman said he’s concerned that the planning period “is pretty open.” Senior Planner Lisa Shikany said an “adaptive management” approach can be followed, with an eye on the forecasted future. She gave a hypothetical example of a public facility like a wastewater plant being in the inundation zone. “That doesn’t mean that we will move it now or that we wouldn’t protect it to the extent feasible,” Shikany told commissioners. But she added that part of the planning is realizing that at some point asset protection may not be practical. “So where might we relocate that plant – and if there’s only one or two options, we may not want to approve a subdivision there now,” she said. The Greater Eureka Chamber of Commerce has written a letter to the county expressing concerns about a sea level rise overlay zone and during public comment, Scott Pesch, a Eureka-based realtor, said the zone “goes a long way and I guess there’s a concern initially about insurance possibilities here that might affect the private property owners of these areas.” Pesch added that there’s also concern about a policy option to restrict life-extending improvements to existing development. Commissioner Ben Shepherd recommended considering “triggers” that would spur policy actions. “If we focus on, not dates but on specific levels, then it’s not an issue of whether you believe in it or don’t believe in it,” he said. He added, “I can see a lot of people getting uncomfortable when you say – Well, greenhouse gas is leading to … – that is, I think, where we’re going to end up with issues.” Commissioner Brian Mitchell emphasized the importance of the planning effort. “I feel that climate change and specifically sea level rise is an undisputable situation that is happening,” he said, adding that even agencies within the

ly basis” because “you can get whatever results you want if you get the right scientists to go along with you – you fund them, give them grants, you can get what you want and we’ve seen both sides of it.” Levy said he wants to be careful about policymaking but he took exception to the characterization of climate change findings being purchased. Commission Chair Bob Morris questioned whether “this is the proper place for this discussion” and moved the meeting on. Ford said the next step will be to set a schedule for continuing the workshop and “beginning to engage the public discussion” on sea level rise planning. It’s especially critical for the Humboldt Bay area, whose land is sinking due to subduction and has the highest rate of sea level rise on the U.S. West Coast.

Trump administration and the U.S. military acknowledge it. Commissioner Noah Levy thanked Mitchell for his comments. “It does our community a disservice if we act like ‘well, maybe it’s rising, maybe it’s not, there’s some dispute,’” Levy said. “It’s a fact – we don’t know exactly when certain thresholds are going to be met but the trajectory is there and we should not be shy about saying the sea is rising on Humboldt Bay.” There was debate, however. “I’m not saying you’re right or you’re wrong,” said Commissioner Alan Bongio. “But what if we are wrong, what if the science isn’t right and what if we put an overlay zone and the sea rise doesn’t happen.” If so, “All these people that have these lands will not have the opportunity to do whatever they were going to do,” he continued. Bongio said he doesn’t “buy in” to the climate change warnings that get “shoved down our throat on a dai-

change denial” and “mounted a campaign against regulation of their business practices in order to continue placing their fossil fuel products into the stream of commerce, despite their own knowledge and the growing national and international scientific consensus about the hazards of doing so,” according to the lawsuit. The association is represented by the San Francisco-based Sher Edling LLP law firm, which is also representing several communities that have also filed climate change-related suits against the oil industry. The new normal Toxic algae blooms rocked the West Coast fishing industry during the 2015 to 2016 Dungeness season, which was drastically delayed and declared a disaster in California. Domoic acid issues also complicated last year’s season but the impacts weren’t as great because they coincided with delays related to meat quality. There is concern about this year’s crabbing. As the lawsuit notes, the California area from Bodega Head to the Sonoma/Mendocino County

line is closed due to domoic acid and crabs collected in the Trinidad and Crescent City areas have unsafe levels of the toxin. Christy Juhasz, a California Department of Fish and Wildlife environmental scientist, was asked if domoic acid is the new normal for the Dungeness fishery. “Yeah, we’re in it,” she responded. “From the 2015 to 2016 season onward, we’ve continued to see at least one or two locations showing domoic acid prior to the scheduled Dungeness season start date and it seems like this will remain from now on – it is part of the management of this fishery moving forward.” ‘Here to stay’ Algal blooms are associated with warm water conditions and in response to a question, Juhasz discussed the influence of climate change. “That’s something peo2sdoiiilple often ask me as a manager – ‘How are you incorporating climate change into your management strategy’ – I guess there’s no denying that we are seeing changes to the environment and definitely, this is reflective of that, we’re

seeing oceanographic conditions that are suggesting that yes, domoic acid is here to stay.” Juhasz added that “in the past, there was seasonality to algal blooms and that’s no longer the case, that’s broken down – you can see algal blooms anytime of the year, it’s not just something that happens when upwelling is present.” Another condition affecting the North Coast’s commercial Dungeness season is meat quality. The season doesn’t begin until crabs show a 25 percent meat to shell ratio and Juhasz said meat percentages are low at this point. The North Coast’s season is scheduled to begin on Dec. 1 but it will be delayed until at least Dec. 16 as meat quality testing continues. That suggests a strong crab population is competing for food. Last year’s season from the Fort Bragg area to the Oregon border was delayed until Jan. 15 and the region accounted for $42 million of the state’s $64 million total landings value. The state’s central area opened as scheduled on Nov. 15 except for the area that’s closed due to domoic acid.

498 public assistance responses. The report also notes that the district continues “to experience increasing call volumes due to the growth of our communities.” The annual report was presented to the Board of Supervisors at its Nov. 13 meeting. During the supervisors presentation, McDonald said maintaining volunteer levels is “one of the biggest challenges” the county faces. “Recruiting and retaining has been difficult with the increased demand on our volunteers’ available hours,” he continued. “It’s been due to the increases in training requirements, incident responses and other department needs.” He noted that countywide fire department volunteer time reached 108,301 hours in 2017. “That’s a lot of time for people to donate,” McDonald said. The AFD’s volunteer levels have decreased over time. McDonald said the district had over 40 volunteer firefighters several years ago but currently has only 10. “That’s a huge drop,” he continued. The challenges, needs and responsibilities will be evaluated as the chiefs’ association develops a strategic plan for the next decade. The association is also working with the county on planning for district expansions to address out-of-district responses. The AFD’s segment of the annual firefighting report also states that “providing quality training for our members is critical” and the district is seeking Measure Z public safety tax funding for a training tower and a burn trailer that “will be shared countywide and will provide all members with high quality, realistic training.” The report also recognizes the contributions of Allen Masterson, who died on July 1, 2017 and was “the last surviving member of the 1949 crew whose names are inscribed on the dedication plaque at the Arcata Fire Station.”

OpiniOn A longtime Chamber member looks at the past, present and future

rcata Chamber of Commerce Director Joellen Clark-Peterson interviews Jeff Pauli, general manager and principal at Pauli-Shaw Insurance Company, member of the Arcata Chamber for 35 years, since 1983. How long has Pauli-Shaw been in business? Our roots go back to 1896. The way insurance works is different people buy the business and then change the name and have it for a decade or two and then another person buys the business and changes the name. So there are all these different agencies that folded into ours; the policies stay the same and the clients stay the same, but the sign on the building changes. I started in January 2004 in the bedroom of my house and later opened up an office in downtown Eureka. In 2008 I bought Western Self-Insurance Services, then in 2012 we bought Dan Harbour, in 2013 we bought out Richard Whitaker Insurance, and then in 2014 we merged with Anderson, Robinson, Starkey. Historically we were employee benefits, health and life insurance but we have since merged into the commercial side and our focus now is on all lines of insurance. I look back and time is flying by. What was it like for you when you started out? It was terrifying. I had quit a

job working for a great employer, having a really good salary, to zero. I had a young child at home. But I’ll tell you what it does – it motivates you. You have to put food on the table. My first month was commission total was $76. It was so little I cashed it and partied with some buddies. But the reason you start your own business is so you can control your own time. Is insurance different now than then? Health insurance now is a completely different landscape. When I started I was only doing health insurance. I was buying leads online at night and I quickly learned that they’d sell the lead to four agents at a time and it was first come first serve. I was right there! I’d quote someone, email them, and then call – all within one minute in real time and my trajectory skyrocketed because I was doing what no one else was doing. My growth to date: we have 20 employees now because of acquisition. I realized early on if I was to buy

a book of business from a retiring person (and that happens time after time) I’d get rapid growth. If you don’t mind debt, that’s how you do it. What do you emphasize with your team at Pauli-Shaw? I really stress continuous education. We have a conference room and we do webinars almost daily on gaps in coverage, common things that are overlooked by agents, you can dive into what kind of coverage you need if you’re helping a manufacturing employer. There are endless topics. We got a big screen TV. It’s fabulous. Education is a big deal to me. Once a month we do a charitable donation to an unsuspecting nonprofit. We poll the employees in advance about what’s going on in their worlds and pick a nonprofit to donate to – it’s our “Friday fundraiser.” Our office generated $800 for the Carr Fire. We donated to an injured little boy in our area, we did one for SCRAP Humboldt, the Arcata Fire Department. What helped you become successful? Surround yourself with people who are successful. I am fortunate to have a lot of friends who are successful in business and we commiserate or share accomplishments. Keep your personal debt at a minimum because eventually,

things go up and down and if you have bills you can’t pay it’s a pretty awful feeling. Early on, I read and studied everything I possibly could on business and leadership. What do you like about being in insurance? Interacting with people. Being a native to Arcata, seeing familiar faces, even if I don’t know them, I’ve seen them around my entire life and I know a lot of them and I see them downtown and that sense of community is burned into me. I grew up going to Union Town Coffee Shop with my grandparents. My Grandpa worked for the City in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s so it feels like I am where I’m supposed to be.

Rebuilding bayside Community Hall COME TOGETHER Maggie Gainer at the recent “Come Together” event at Bayside Community Hall. KLH | Union Maggie Gainer Bayside Community Hall

BAYSIDE – Bayside Community Hall’s last two years have been an extraordinary time of revitalization with focus on outreach, volunteer recruitment and modernizing its organizational structure. Contributions have increased by more than 300 percent in the past two years, membership has increased by 30 percent, and new and younger volunteers are taking leadership roles and serving on the Board of Directors. The 2018 fall fund drive including the first Come Together fundraising event and a new kitchen concert series has to-date, raised $50,000 for building upgrades and restoration. Among 2018 successes are new partner relationships with several other organizations. In addition to the responsibility of stewardship for historic Bayside Community Hall, we carry out the organization’s community-building mission by providing an affordable and convenient venue for youth and nonprofit groups. We are learning new

Thank you for writing about the chaos in the North Coast Co-op. Members and non-members can expect very troubled waters ahead. Members must pay attention to the actions of the Board of Directors and the financial statements being presented. The current board and management took over a Co-op with substantial cash reserves which are now depleted, at least partly due to a failed deli remodel at the Eureka store. Now the general manager is borrowing money to keep the doors open. There is talk of entailing the Arcata store, which the Co-op owns free and clear, to provide more operating capital for the next six months. It is widely believed that long-term employees are being fired and replaced. Hours and services are being cut. Lawsuits for labor violations are anticipated. Most troubling, the board itself is split, with some wanting to move on and others wanting to find out where the money went. Unanimous votes are not being cast on important issues and no efforts are being made to resolve questions cooperatively or respectfully. Both the Eureka and the Arcata stores are vital social and economic components of the local economy. If the stores fail, as some think likely, there will be a big gaping hole in the local food system. To prevent this loss, more members need to attend meetings, ask questions and get involved to assure that justice prevails. Only the members have the power to

insurance industry? Believe it or not, artificial intelligence is a threat. Some insurance companies are trying to cut out the agent. Some people, no matter what, will shop online and talk with a bot and buy a policy from a bot, but at the end of the day I think people want to interact with a human. But the number one threat to our office is single-payer health insurance. We do a lot of health insurance and single-payer would be a death blow. There are probably a couple hundred people working in health insurance in Humboldt county and those jobs will be gone. It’s a touchy topic and a minor issue in many people’s eyes, but it’s something I think about. What is the most common misconception of insurance agents? Every single person in our office is there because they like helping people. All we do all day long is help people. Maybe the 1970s door-to-door life insurance people, hard-sell agents gave modern day ones a bad name. But I’d say that the people in insurance are by the whole there to help people reduce their liabilities. I haven’t met one person who enjoys paying for insurance – until they need it.

A compassionate community

I continue to be amazed that friends, family and other visitors to Arcata do not experience life in the same ways we do (“Arcata’s a hot mess,” Nov. 14, 2018). It seems they live in some sanitized place where neighbors do not suffer. They do not see poor people, or those who are homeless or mentally ill. Fortunately, Arcata’s eyes and hearts are wide open. Generous people share time, food and resources to offer meals, housing, friendship, and the dignity of recognition. Area churches shelter the vulnerable ones when the weather turns deadly. Food for People (foodforpeople.org) feeds elders and children. Arcata House Partnership (arcatahouse.org) finds apartments and shelters for those with mental or physical handicaps or families trying to rebuild their lives after the trauma of losing jobs and housing. Because I know these things, no one can shame me by labeling my town “a hot mess.” I am grateful to be part of a compassionate community. I am proud to live here. Judy Longshore Arcata

Centers like these are crucial to for first-generation students and helping them build the confidence that they can graduate from college. The MultiCultural Center has become a home-away-from-home for me, where I’ve found some great friends to surround myself with who support me however they can. Everyone involved in the center provides a dynamic perspective on the college experience and it’s amazing to see everyone’s passion for cultural diversity come alive. There’s a drive that’s apparent from everyone who comes by, and watching everyone work together towards a common goal is uplifting.

This event gives the community the opportunity to bless the fishermen, fishing families and Coast Guard for their efforts and to provide for their safety on the ocean. Axel Lindgren III and his family gave the traditional Native blessing facing the four directions, followed by a blessing from Officiant Dana Hope, M.A. Each year the Trinidad School 4th grade students draw pictures of the boast in the Trinidad Fishing Fleet and write poems to honor the fishermen. One drawing was selected to be used for next year’s poster. photoS by matt Filar | union

CharaCter ProjeCt TRANSFORMATION Andrew Bayer, left, and Gavin Sellers in the Character Project. TASTINESS Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Aioli. Kirstin Lindquist photo

Sweet potato fries really hit the spot

all weather usually means lots of carotene rich foods – pumpkin, winter squash, and of course sweet potatoes! Yes, sweet potatoes are healthier for you than other potatoes but don’t let that be the only reason you try these baked treats. Less mess, less fuss and great crispiness to dunk in your favorite condiment. How can you go wrong? The natural sweetness of this tuber doesn’t really need any gilding for my liking, which is why it is paired with a spicy aioli to balance out its caramelized goodness. A few notes on preparation: 1. Pay attention to cutting your fries as uniformly as possible to ensure even cooking. 2. Coat them well in olive oil, using your hands to massage them all and make sure your slices are separated into individual fries. 3. Distribute in a single layer on your baking sheet and not too closely together. These important steps will lead to first time success and happy diners! As the wine manager at the Northcoast Co-op in Arcata, I’ve received several requests for wine pairings Kirsten Lindquist with recipes, so here are my suggestions: For a red choose a fruit forward wine such as Merlot or Grenache (Garnacha); any rosé with strawberry notes would pair well too. The starchy sweetness of these carotene rich foods calls for fuller bodied whites such as Vouvray (Chenin Blanc) or an Auslese (semi-dry) Riesling. Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Aioli (serves 2-3) 2 lbs garnet sweet potato, ends trimmed, peeled olive oil to coat salt 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or veganaise) 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and place cut side down on cutting board. Cut 1/4 inch slices (yes, check a ruler to see what that looks like!) and then turn slices flat and cut into 1/4 inch strips. Place all in a bowl and drizzle well with olive oil, using your hands to toss fries well and ensure all pieces are coated. Place on baking sheet and arrange in single layer without crowding otherwise potatoes will steam rather than crisp. Use 2 sheets if necessary. Bake 15-18 minutes until crisp. Combine mayonnaise and chipotle in small dish and mix well. Remove fries from oven and immediately salt and toss well. Serve with chipotle aioli. Hugs!

BLUE LAKE – In Dell’ Arte International’s Character Project, eight young actor-creators transform into physical characters of their own devising, in a collage of richly imagined stories and worlds. Four performances only, Thursday, Dec. 6 to Sunday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. at the Carlo Theatre, 131 H St. in Blue Lake. All student performances are pay-what-you-can. Every year, Dell’Arte’s Second Year Ensemble explores the provocative questions at the heart of their actor training: How does the physical actor transform into a character different from their own self? And how does a play take shape, born from the dialogue between the character’s perspective and the actor’s own imagination? The Character Project performance is the culmination

of 10 weeks of in-depth study with School Director Lauren Wilson, in which each actor in the ensemble explores the depth of their own transformative and imaginative power. Expect a funny, poignant, and surreal evening in the theater, as these brand new characters encounter their fates, and everyday life opens its doors to the unexpected. This year’s Second Year Ensemble are Marguerite Boissonault (U.S.), Hannah Butson (Canada), Veenadari Lakshika (Sri Lanka), Andrew Lupkes (U.S.), Everson Ndlovu (Zimbabwe), Janie Pinard (Canada), Joel Vining (U.S.) and Sara Kei Wegmuller (U.S.).

See the results Saturday, Dec. 1 during Arts Alive! at 525 Seventh St. in Eureka. “It’s an ‘Off the Wall’ fundraiser,”says show curator Kati Texas. “If you buy a piece, you get to take it right away.” One third of each sale goes to support the Ink People’s Community Art Projects and free programs for At Risk Youth. Each artist chose one of four sizes, and had to make all of their entries in that size. Then each size sells for a set price between $20 and $75.

sons for and against building more housing. The conversation will be moderated by Paul Pitino, Arcata City Councilmember. HumRights board chair, Marcy Burstiner, says the project is important because public dialogue and communication has broken down in recent years. “People have stopped talking and listening to each other,” Burstiner said. “The Bar Debates are HumRights’ attempt to demonstrate that we can dialogue. So that we can be less polarized and find some middle ground.” This housing topic is important and timely because Humboldt County has a high percentage rate of homeless people, and

unfortunately that includes some of our friends, students, colleagues, coworkers, and professors. HumRights will present this event in a comfortable space at a local venue, where people can have fun and be a part of discussion. Towards the end of the debate the floor will open up to allow the people to have a chance to participate with questions, concerns, or even voice their opinions. The HumRights Bar Debate is free and open to the public. RSVP on HumRight’s FaceBook event page. The topics are hot, but the drinks will be ice cold. Arrive early to purchase happy hour food/ drinks.

Review |And the animals! FROM B1

Schauwecker, and Evan Grande) will embody each successive mode of travel, including the elephant. That’s a marvelous achievement and the physicality and use of the entire stage keeps the play at a high pitch of excitement. That’s not to leave out the charm and skills of the named characters. Jordan Rosin is incandescent as Phileas Fogg, the Englishman who is the main character in the Jules Verne novel, Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). He’s witty and suave by turns, unflappable in difficulties, the quintessential Englishman. His valet, Passepartout, is hilarious. Jesse March manages the comedic French accent with style and irony, while making cups (and saucers) of tea appear in the most unlikely circumstances. He’s acrobatic, supple and can put the moves on Ms. Fix with ease. Fix, played by Kathryn Cesarz, is a great piece of casting. In the novel, Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard is sent to arrest Fogg in a case of mistaken identity. Transforming the character into a feminine one works for this play. The interplay between the valet and Fix adds to the fun. Cesarz is a dream of movement onstage, swooning and swooping and sneaking around. She tells us she’s got “the longest legs in England” and she puts them to work. Cleo DeOrio rounds out the cast with her sassy, classy characterization of the lost girl, Aouda. And the animals! Monkeys, tigers, a giant snake, and, of course, that elephant are all a combination of physical comedy, great props, beautiful lighting, and inventive costumes, but most of all, belief. We believe in these animals, even when they are just sound effects. That’s the magic of Dell’Arte. This is a great present to the grownups and children of our community. The show travels to various locations through Dec. 16. Admission is a donated food item. Don’t miss it! Check locations at dellarte.com or call (707) 668-5663

They sat at the bar and had a few drinks. Two ladies were also sitting at the bar. About 9:30 p.m. the bartender, Collie, came out from behind the bar, grabbed one of the ladies, his common-law wife, twisted her arm and started to eject her from the bar. Monty said, ‘that’s an awful way to treat a woman.’ The bartender released the lady and swung around and hit Monty on the jaw. Monty fell to the floor and after he got up he asked the bartender what the idea was. The bartender replied that he was running the bar and that he would run it to suit himself. He also said he would break the other side of Monty’s jaw, and he did.” – Ralph Monty, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. Marino Orlandi, individually and doing business under the firm name of Marino’s Club, and John Collie, FindLaw.com

hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! It was a crazy stormy day at the shelter, yet some hardy volunteers still managed to get most of the dogs out for a holiday walk while the kennel staff spent their Thanksgiving keeping all the cats and dogs clean, warm and dry. We made a yummy mix of turkey and pumpkin for the dogs and they all really enjoyed the treat! The shelter manager has extended the “Home for the Holidays” special of reduced adoption fees for the cats and dogs. The reduced rates are in effect at least until the end of this week in hopes of helping more of our wonderful feline and canine residents find their forBenny ever homes this holiday season. Come on by the shelter and see all the great pets that are available! The shelter is open Monday through Friday at 980 Lycoming Ave. in McKinleyville near the airport. The shelter will also be open on Saturday, Dec. 8 for the

Holiday Open House. This is always a fun event with shelter tours, refreshments, silent and Dutch auction items and even a kissing booth this year! My shelter alum Baylee will be taking a turn under the mistletoe and would love to give you a big smooch! Donations for the raffle and auction are still being accepted. Please call Patty at the shelter at (707) 840-9132. All proceeds from this event benefit the shelter’s Emergency Medical Fund, a separate non-profit fund which provides veterinary assistance for dogs and cats with medical needs such as orthopedic injuries, Heartworm, skin issues or other conditions that exceed the county’s allotment per animal. Two dogs that you might see at the Open House (unless they are adopted first!) are Coco, a 2-year-old Vizsla mix, and Benny, a 2-year-old Pittie mix. Pretty red Coco has the long nose and delicate bones of a Vizsla and is quite a beauty. She is sweet and very

Coco

affectionate, and has a great smile! She has decent leash manners and knows how to be mellow. She loves to be touched! She would be a wonderful companion! Benny is described by the volunteers as a compact friendly guy with a very pretty soft brindle coat. He is very curious and observant of his surroundings. He is a little bit timid, but is a gentle, low-key fellow who enjoys human touch. He walks nicely on the leash and knows “sit.” He has a very sweet face and nice demeanor! Benny recently took a hike in the Community Forest with two of our volunteers who were very impressed with his nice manners. Coco and Benny are spayed and neutered, microchipped and current on their vaccinations. Come meet these two and their shelter friends today. They won’t be here long!

HSU presents the Margaret T. Kelso Short Play Festival Humboldt State

HSU – The Theatre, Film and Dance Department at Humboldt State University presents the Margaret T. Kelso Short Play Festival,

which opens Thursday, Nov. 29 in Gist Hall Theatre and runs for four performances. The production will include the premieres of six original plays written and directed by HSU students. The Margaret T. Kelso Short Play Festival is a wonderful opportunity for student playwrights to have their work produced in front of an audience. This production also offers theatre students the opportunity to direct a main stage production. The Festival will include six original plays, each quite varied in content and style. Titles of the plays are: Black Sheep written by Dominic Christenson and directed by Robert Williams; Contrary by Amelia Resendez and

directed by Sammi Stowe; Boisterous Bitties by Tzveta Stoimenova and directed by Grady Moore; Pigma Dogma by Ben Ghitterman and directed by Liz Whittemore; Injection by Elizabeth Locher and directed by Zackary Tucker; and Adjustments written and directed by Merrick Yra. Playwright Margaret Kelso retired from the HSU Department of Theatre, Film and Dance in 2015. Kelso advises young playwrights to “write about things that move them. For me, new plays are the most exciting of anything we can see in theatre. I always wrote about people or circumstances that were unfamiliar to me – I tried to give the voiceless a voice so I wrote about an emergency room nurse, a transgender person, and families of prisoners.” The Festival was created to thank and to honor

Kelso for her many years of teaching, service and leadership in the writing program. The production features 15 actors, all students at HSU: Micah Scheff, Isaiah Alexander, Rosemary Allison-Brown, Victor D. Para, Maude Jaeb, Drea Carillo, Taiquira Williams, Ezra Moreno, Madison Glee, Brianna Fergus, Madison Kiser, Katie Lem, Cosette McCave, Amy Beltran and Savannah Baez. Robert Williams will act as stage manager. The Margaret T. Kelso Short Play Festival opens Thursday, Nov. 29 and continues Friday,Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. There will be one matinee performance at 2 p.m. on Dec. 2. General admission is $10. Student and senior tickets are $8. Not intended for children. Lot parking is free on weekends.
