” Fish farm proceeds as appeal is denied Daniel Mintz Map RIver UNION SAMOA - An appeal of Humboldt County permits for the Nordic Aquafarms fish farm got denied by county su- pervisors, who responded to concerns about the scale of the project and its energy use by requiring annual “sus- tainability reports” and sponsorship of emissions reduction programs. Filed by the Redwood Region Audubon Society, Humboldt Fisher- men’s Marketing Association and 350 Humboldt, the appeal challenged the county Planning Commission’s per- mit approvals and certification of the Brenda Chandler project’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR). APPEAL «+ PAGE 9 ‘Significant’ hike in chronically homeless Daniel Mintz Map RIver UNION SAMOA - The county’s biannual count of home- less people showed a slight total decrease in 2022 but a dramatic increase in the number of chronically homeless. At its Sept. 27 meeting, the Board of Supervisors got a breakdown of the county’s homelessness sit- uation and what’s done to address it. Every two years, a vol- unteer-driven Point in Time Count attempts to get a grasp on number of homeless people. The most recent count was done during the early morning hours of January 26 and 1,656 people were sur- veyed and counted. That’s a modest de- crease from the 2019 count of 1,702 people.

The trail would be built within the existing right- of-way by replacing the sidewalk on the west side with the new trail and re- ducing the widths of the vehicle and bicycle lanes. The proposal is includ- ed in the draft McKin- leyville Multimodal Con- nections Project plan, which was reviewed Sept. 28 by the McKinleyville fist Municipal Advisory Com- mittee (McKMAC).

The result is a draft plan that calls for improve- ments to Central Avenue, School Road, Hiller Road, Ocean Drive, McKin- leyville Avenue, North Bank Road, Azalea Avenue and several roads in the Arcata Bottom. The plan focused on the McKinleyville Town Cen- ter and connections be- tween McKinleyville and ROAD DIET An alternative plan, left, for Central 5’ BRIDLE Avenue between Railroad Drive and Heartwood Drive is to reduce it to one lane in each direc- tion, with a center turn lane.

The “road diet” propos- al would slow down traf- fic, making the downtown area easier for pedestrians to navigate. When the McKMAC dis- cussed the idea, it received dozens of letters from peo- ple opposing the idea. But others said that unless something is done to slow down traffic in the McKin- leyville Town Center, few pedestrians will cross Cen- tral Avenue. “A lane reduction treat- ment requires further traf- fic study and public con- sideration,” the draft plan states.

Turns out it’s your responsibility to keep it clear and walkable Crry oF ARCATA ARCATA — The City of Arcata would like to remind homeowners and landlords that it is the responsi- bility of the property owner to remove weeds, refuse and rubbish from side- walks, right of ways or alleys abutting or adjoining such property. Removal of these items are to pre- vent endangerment or injury for per- sons traveling on such areas, and help extend the life of our streets. Failure to maintain sidewalks, right of ways and alleys in accordance with the Arcata Municipal Code (Sec- tions 5481(a)) shall constitute a pub- lic nuisance and be subject to abate- ment. “Refuse and rubbish” include, but are not limited to, waste material of every kind, whether recyclable or not, material which may create a fire hazard, dead trees and yard waste, abandoned asphalt, building mate- rials or other unsanitary or unsafe materials. “Weeds” include, but are not lim- ited to, plants which bear spreadable seeds, dry grass or brush that may be- come a fire menace, plants which may constitute a menace to public health such as poison oak or poison ivy and plants that may constitute a public hazard. Weeds growing on the sidewalk or in the right-of-way between the side- walk and the curb are the property owner’s responsibility If the responsibility is shared be- tween owners at the end of the cul-de- sac, the division of the responsibility is the center of the cul-de-sac. Not only will keeping weeds and refuse off city sidewalks and right of ways improve public safety, it will help ensure long-term maintenance of city streets. The roots of weeds can work through pavement, causing it to crack or break into pieces. Water then gets under the pavement, causing premature failure of the street. Help extend the life of Arcata’s streets by keeping curbs clear from debris and weeds.

Homeless | Count ** FROM PAGE 1 and Human Services Housing (DHHS) Housing Coordi- nator Robert Ward noted “a very significant increase” in the number of chronically homeless. In the 2022 count, there’s 746 chronically homeless people, up from 474 in 2019. Of all those counted in 2022, 767 have a mental health disability and 786 have a substance abuse disorder. Racial demographics of homeless people mostly match general population demographics, except for what Ward described as the “large disparity” with black people. They comprise 1.5 percent of the county’s general population but 3.3 percent of the 2022 homeless count. On homelessness in Northern Humboldt, 354 people in the 2022 count were in Arcata, 30 in McKinleyville, 12 in Trinidad and seven in Orick. DHHS Director Connie Beck said the county’s effort to give people with serious mental illnesses permanent supportive housing began in 2015 with 15 units in the 31- unit Arcata Bay Crossing project. Now the county is up to 94 units of supportive hous- ing. Beck said this year’s budget for the county’s Hous- ing, Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) pro- gram is $3 million. The county also works with private landlords and property management companies to house people. A to- tal of 269 mentally ill people have been housed through the HOME program, Beck said. A new project — development of the Humboldt Navi- gation Center — is in the works. Beck said supervisors will soon get a more in-depth Ladybird and Cheech are all about Beginning appy October! Dogs and volunteers alike are loving the beautiful fall weather. We're still keeping the wad- ing pool filled for the warm afternoons while pulling out the reflec- tive vests for the foggy morning walks. Here are two extremely affectionate dogs who are ready for a second chance to show off what great dogs they are. Ladybird started off with a family for the first six months of her life, then was lost for the next six months. We don’t know anything about that time - where she was or who had her. Her original family came for her when she arrived at the shelter but immediately lost her again and were not interested in com- ing for her when she turned up at the shelter again two days later. Fortunately for Lady, she was now some- where that she was safe and fed and there were plenty of people who loved her. After some time at the shelter we were able to place Ladybird in a foster home with a wonderful couple who had recently adopted one of Ladybird’s good friends, Monty. A fos- ter placement gives us so much more infor- mation about a dog and allows us to find the best permanent fit for them. La- dy’s foster mom wrote the description. I couldn’t have said it better! “Ladybird is a gorgeous, wicked-smart girl who is very generous with love, DOGIOWN Mara Segal licks, and cuddles once she gets to know you. Lady also loves toys, and loves to greet the day by grabbing a stuffed squeaky toy and wiggling circles around you as you pet her. She is young and fit, and would do great with an active family. We've taken her on _ several hikes and she keeps pace hap- pily and checks in regularly. As is she’s a great trail companion and she could only get better with more practice. That being said, she’s also happy to lounge about the house - we spend most weeknights Ladybird snuggled up. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and eager to please — she'll happily train for a little treat or a fun toy. Did I mention she loves toys? Lady would be a good can- didate for homes with other dogs — she'll play with her foster brother as long as he'll let her! She may be OK with cats — we have a house rab- bit that she has shown no _inter- est in chasing or eating, and that’s usually a good sign. Ladybird is looking for a car- ing and compas- sionate family that will help her build confidence and that will un- derstand she needs some time to get to know and love new people. She’s had a rough start, but with the right family she will shine!” Ladybird is about a year and a half old, spayed, micro- chipped and current on her vaccinations. For more info or to arrange to meet her, please contact Red- wood Pals Rescue at redwoodpalsres- cue@gmail.com or leave a voicemail at (707) 633-8842. Cheech is our oth- er pup looking for a new home. Cheech had a family but they fell on rough times and no longer have a home to bring him back to. This big boy is the gentlest fellow you could imagine. As one of our volunteers astutely observed, “Cheech looks like he was employed to guard the gates of hell, then the demons realized that he is one of the sweet- est dogs ever and they left him with us. Lucky us!” Cheech is a Dogo Argenti- no. They are known for their loyalty and he does just great with everyone he meets. The girl dogs LOVE him! He hasn’t had a male walking companion yet but peace- fully acknowledges the other boys as they walk by. He has lived with young children and been fine with them. Cheech loves attention and pets. He doesn’t care much about toys or balls but has tried to get into a few laps while volunteers have had him in the play yard! He’s so charming it’s hard to say no, but he is a little big for that. Most of us compro- mise with a hug or two. This sweet boy has test- ed positive for heartworm. The shelter’s Emergency Medical Fund will pay for his treatment, but we are looking for a foster to take him in for the duration of the treatment, about two to three months. Cheech is housebroken and crate- trained and should be a pretty easy foster.

The Arcata First Baptist Church on Union Street, St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Janes Road, Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (HUUF) in Bayside, the Eureka Sev- enth Day Adventist Church and the First Covenant Church in Eureka were all vandalized with spray paint. The scrawlings included mentions of BLM (Black Lives Matter), Antifa, 666 (the number of the beast), “Kill MAGA/Pigs” and “Wok Up.” presentation on it. She said the new center, done with the City of Eureka, will give homeless people “a place to have respite during the day and be connected to our pro- grams and community resources to obtain permanent housing.” Supervisor Mike Wilson noted the contexts of home- lessness and suggested a comprehensive approach. “We're doing this within a broken system in an over- all way,” he said. “We’re always looking inward with all these resources but we should always be pushing out- ward in terms of fundamentally changing the systemic issues we’re having to respond to.” Supervisor Steve Madrone said the county has an emergency shelter declaration and a shelter ordinance to Some victims of the vandalism viewed the defacement as possibly being a crude false flag operation, particularly since at least one of the churches — the HUUF - supports Black Lives Matter and would be an unlikely target for even rabid progressives, unless their Satanic side got the best of them. APD Sgt. Keith Altizer said the department has been look- ing for witnesses, but without success. “It seems to be an iso- lated event,” Altizer said. “We're definitely keeping our eyes open, looking for more evidence and correlating incidents.” The vandalism is so far categorized as a misdemeanor, since the damage is under $400. The incidents aren’t being investigated as a hate crime, Altizer said, since none of the churches were apparently targeted for their religious beliefs. “back it up” — but he added, “Every time we bring these ideas forward in our communities, people push back, it’s the NIMBY situation.” Madrone said a mix of campgrounds, parking areas and permanent housing needs to be done but “there is no perfect solution here and if we as a community continue to block steps to try and create some options, these prob- lems are going to continue to exist and grow.” Madrone’s “plea to the community” is to “dig deep into your hearts and think about how we can be more tolerant of making these things happen.” SENIOR NEWS The Senior News “Home Improve- ment” edition is now on newsstands today and in the Times-Standard and Mad River Union, collects stories about venerable Victorians and tiny houses, homeshar- ing and Hospice house, a 12-sided edifice and the perils of home construction.

I I I City/State: I I McKMAC | Addressing road situations all over town “+ FROM PAGE 1 The plan recommends improve- ments further south on Central Av- enue, including a paved path on the shoulder between School Road and Bartow Road and the widening of shoulders to four to five feet south of Henry Lane near the Six Rivers Brewety. Martin said that one possibility is to paint the shoulders to make it clear that they are for pedestrians. This prompted McKMAC member Kevin Jenkins to suggest that rather than painting the shoulders, there should be a physical barrier between the shoulders and the traffic lanes. The plan also calls for a crosswalk with blinking lights at the intersec- tion of Central Avenue and North Bank Road. North Bank Road North Bank Road, between Central Avenue and Azalea Avenue, has little to no shoulders, making it one of the more treacherous roadways to ride a bike. The plan recommends eight foot shoulders on each side of North Bank Road. However, North Bank Road, aka State Route 200, is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans, not county Public Works. Azalea Avenue Another problematic area is Azalea Avenue, which slices through a resi- dential area, but doesn’t include side- walks or even a shoulder. The plan calls for a “share the road” approach from Cochran Road to Hewitt Road, with markings on the road and signs. From Hewitt Road to North Bank Road, the plans recommends four- foot-wide shoulders where the road- way descends and curves. Arcata Bottom The plan extends all the way out to the Arcata Bottom, where is sug- gest that the two lane roads become “advisory lanes.” Mad River Road, Miller Lane and Heindon Road now have two nine-foot wide travel lanes. The roads would be restriped so there would be a single lane in the middle of the road, with four-foot-wide shoul- ders on each side designated for pe- destrians and bicyclists. Drivers would use the middle lane. When coming across oncoming traf- fic, they would, theoretically, slow down and move into the shoulder until they’re done passing. Then they would return to the middle lane. Ocean Drive An advisory lane is also proposed for Ocean Drive, located on the west side of McKinleyville between School and Hiller roads. Ocean Drive has two lanes, one in each direction. The plan calls for a single 10-foot-wide lane in the mid- dle, with four-foot-wide pedestrian/ bicycle lanes on each side. Washington Avenue Yet another problematic road- way is Washington Avenue between School Road and McKinleyville Av- enue. There are some sidewalks, but there are also large gaps. The plan rec- ommends filling the gaps on the east side of Washington Avenue between Oakdale Drive and School Road. A subdivision is under construc- tion on the west side and, according to the draft plan, sidewalks are a con- dition of the development. School Road Another main arterial with gaps in sidewalks is School Road. The plan recommends filling the sidewalk gaps on School Road between Central Av- enue and Salmon Avenue. It also recommends an off-street trail/wid- ened sidewalk at the Salmon Avenue roundabout. Hiller Road Under the draft plan, Hiller Road would get a 12-foot-wide mixed-use trail/sidewalk between the Ham- mond Trail and U.S. Highway 101. It would be located on the north side of the road. Parking would be prohibit- ed on the south side. Between MckKinleyville Avenue and Central Avenue, Hiller Road would get one-way dedicated bike paths in both directions. This would be in conjunction with the construc- tion of undeveloped property in the McKinleyville Town Center. McKinleyville Avenue Some of the improvements for McKinleyville Avenue may come with the development of the McKinleyville Town Center. Undeveloped property fronts the east side of McKinleyville Avenue between Railroad Drive and Hiller Road. Improvements to this section will depend upon what’s called for the the Mckinleyville Town Center ordinance, which is currently being drafted. On McKinleyville Avenue between Hiller Road and Chelsea Way (where McKinleyville Avenue ends at the south), the plan calls for five-foot wide bicycle lanes and the removal of parking on the westerly side of the street.

Dr. Pamela Harris explains Cat Poty HumBo._pt CAL POLY HUMBOLDT - Dr. Pa- mela E. Harris, Professor of Math- ematics at University of Wiscon- sin-Milwaukee, will deliver the 78th semi-annual Harry S. Kieval Lecture at Cal Poly Humboldt on Friday, Oct. 14. The lecture will be at 7 p.m. in Room 135 of the Science-B Building on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus. The public is welcome to this free lecture, which is geared toward a gen- eral audience. The title of the lecture is "How to Choose Your Own Mathe- matical Adventures." Dr. Harris will explore answers to questions such as “What is math- ematical research?”, “How does a mathematician find problems to work on?” and “How does one build mathe- matical collaborations?” She will share her journey to re- search mathematics, what it entails, how she has developed new research ideas, and how she has found her own place within the mathematical com- munity. Mathematical topics to be dis- cussed include lattice point visibility, parking functions, and a connection between vector partition functions and juggling. No prior mathematical background on these topics is expect- ed nor assumed. All that is needed is the willingness to wonder and ask the question: “what happens if ...?”. Dr. Pamela E. Harris is a Mexi- can-American mathematician and is Associate Professor in the Depart- ment of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She received her B.S. from Mar- quette University, and M.S. and Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Dr. Harris's research is in algebraic combinatorics, and she is the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed re- search articles in internationally rec- Dr. Pamela Harris ognized journals. An award-winning mathematical educator, Dr. Harris was the 2020 recipient of the MAA Northeast Sec- tion Award for Distinguished Col- lege or University Teaching, the 2019 MAA Henry L. Alder Award for Dis- tinguished Teaching by a Beginning College or University Mathemat- ics Faculty Member, and the 2019 Council on Undergraduate Research Mathematics and Computer Sciences Division Early Career Faculty Men- tor Award. She was also selected as a 2020 Inaugural Class of Karen Uhlen- beck EDGE Fellow and was one of 50 women featured in the book “Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics.” Her professional mission is to de- velop learning communities that re- inforce students’ self-identity as sci- entists, in particular for women and underrepresented minorities. In support of this mission, Dr. Harris co-organizes research sym- posia and professional development sessions for the national conference of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) and is an editor of the e-Mentoring Net- work blog of the American Mathe- matical Society. Dr. Harris also co-founded La- thisms.org, a platform that features the contributions of Latinx and His- panic scholars in the mathematical sciences. She cohosts the podcast “Mathematically Uncensored” and has recently coauthored the books Asked and Answered: Dialogues on Advocating for Students of Color in Mathematics and Practices and Pol- icies: Advocating for Students of Col- or in Mathematics. See pamelaeharris.com for further details about Dr. Harris's work. The Kieval lecture series is named for Mathematics Professor Emeritus, Dr. Harry S. Kieval, who taught at Cal Poly Humboldt from 1966 to 1979. The series includes topics on pop- ular and/or broad aspects of mathe- matics attractive to undergraduates and the public. For more information, visit math.humboldt.edu/get-in- volved/kieval-lecture. Dr. Harris will also give a separate lecture earlier the same day as a part of the Cal Poly Humboldt Mathemat- ics Colloquium. That lecture, titled, “On the (T, R) Broadcast Domination Number of Graphs,” will begin at 4 p.m. in Room 166 of the Behavioral and Social Sci- ences (BSS) building on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus.

Reed brings 26 years of fundraising and non-profit management experience to the Zoo Foundation. SPZF President Dearden states, “Da- vid __Reed’s knowledge, expertise and community connections will be put to good use, bringing peo- ple who love the Sequoia Park Zoo together with projects that support the animals, conservation and future improvements to the Zoo. Da- vid joins a dedicated staff at the Foundation, a strong team work- ing every day to further the mis- sions of both the Sequoia Park Zoo & Foundation.” Reed says, “My time with Red- wood Parks Conservancy and KHSU, securing funds for capital campaigns and projects like the Grove of Titans in Jedediah Smith State Park and supporting the re- turn of California Condors to the redwoods, ties directly into the future here at Sequoia Park Zoo.” He continues, “the Foundation has been a partner in every large project here since 2004, and in that time, SPZF has raised more than $13 million to make projects like the Redwood Sky Walk, Wa- tershed Heroes, and Bear/Coyote habitat possible. I’m honored to lead the Foundation as we help Michale David Reed realize the vision of the Zoo mas- ter plan.” David Reed grew up in Eure- ka and remembers Sequoia Park Zoo being a big part of his child- hood. Today, he says he sees a new Sequoia Park Zoo in his own kids’ eyes, remarking, “my wife and I started taking our girls here in strollers. Now they come to learn about animals, con- servation, our impact on the Earth and just to have fun. I want that for everyone.” The Se- quoia Park Zoo Foundation is a 501(c)(3) established in 2004 and is the philanthropic, non- profit partner that supports the Sequoia Park Zoo. The foundation has raised more than $13 million since its inception. The foundation has been successful in securing fund- ing for many capital projects at the zoo, including the construc- tion of new animal habitats, on- going maintenance, exhibit ren- ovations and building facilities to support animals, education, guest services and conservation efforts. The Sequoia Park Zoo Foun- dation promotes and stimulates interest in the Sequoia Park Zoo, and supports the Zoo’s devel- opment and programs through fundraising, promotions and oth- er initiatives designed to enhance the Zoo experience.

In San Diego at the time, you were lucky to get hired anywhere, especially if you were a punk kid just out of high school who didn’t know much, only that he needed money to move out of his home town to pursue a dream of living in the Big City (San Francisco) where he had been accepted at SF State. The owner of the Richfield business, a thin, be-speckled man in his 30’s, projected an air of worldly wisdom beyond his bland image. Out of the blue one day after a short time on the job he pulled me aside. “T have a story to tell you, Dan- ny.” I waited, enthralled. He was my boss, after all. “A man walked up to me one day carrying a brown paper bag and said, ‘You the manager? I brought my lunch. Where do you want me to start?” The owner studied my reac- tion with an expression that was somewhere between a knowing grin and a sneering allusion to...? What? I didn’t know. I was already on the job. Did he think I was too meek? I was trying — maybe not hard enough for him — to learn the ropes. Why the story about this guy who just walked up and practically without a word slipped on a pair of Richfield over- alls worn by the mechanics and stuck his head under the hood of a car to give it a tune-up? The bell rang. A customer’s tires had run over the hoses ly- ing across the slick driveway. The boss watched his fresh attendant jog a little quicker over to the Map RIVER UNION The guy with the brown paper bag driver’s side window. “Fill ’er up, sir?” Maybe the boss wanted the new employee to know that he was damn lucky to have a job at all in this economy, with so many people moving into San Diego and not enough places for them to live or work. ae It was definitely a time of scarcity—my step-father talked about it all the time— but big words like scarcity that didn’t mean much to me. All I knew was that jobs were hard as hell to [xQaeal= FEATURES OF ARCATA Daniel Duncan find. At another Rich- field station where I had applied, the own- er called and offered me the night-shift po- sition. I took that job too. With two jobs, I was able to save a couple hundred dollars, even at minimum wage, to bank- roll my move out of San Diego. In San Francisco my buddy and I walked the streets for days before we finally saw a “for rent” sign in a window on the corner of 20th Street and Guerrero. We found the owner, a Chinese guy, and he accepted us. My buddy got a job in a fancy restaurant. I got a job in a Rich- field gas station. We used public transportation to get around the city. With our savings added to what we earned with our part- time jobs, we made it through our first year away from home debt free (tuition at SF State was $50 per semester.) That same process happened at every place I moved to over the next several years in different parts of the country. Taking on a new place was never easy. I have been the new kid in town, or the new man in town, many times. You go to a place because there’s something about it that seems to be calling you and you want to see if it’s the right place for you. You know you have to get a job, a place to live, make new friends. Maybe you'll get lucky, and things will begin to go your way quickly. But that’s never guaranteed. When I came to Arcata in 1971 to attend Hum- boldt State, there were no places to live, or if there were any we couldn’t’ find them. We — my girlfriend and dog and I — lived in our van. Then we got a tiny mo- tor court unit in Trinidad rented by the week. We knew nobody. I tried to hunt down jobs. I went into Real Estate offices and offered my ser- vices to do repairs, remodeling, anything. I felt like that guy in San Diego who showed up with his brown paper bag. A realtor on F Street offered me the job of dismantling the one-car garage located on the corner of the property built almost right up to the sidewalk. He wanted a parking space there. No money was offered, but he said I could have all the materials. So I took the old redwood structure apart board by board. I hauled the old-growth 2 by 4’s and 6s up to the motor court and stacked them alongside our mini-cottage. People passing by on F Street saw me working and one thing led to another. I started getting small jobs and making a little money. But there were no apartments or houses or anything to rent in town. The freeway was going in at that time and Caltrans was busy re- moving houses in their way, wors- ening the bad housing situation. That winter, 1972, Elk River flooded and a house that had been built on the banks of the river was inundated and came up for sale cheap. Lisa got a $1,000 loan from her family and after first spending some days cleaning it up, our little family moved into the water-dam- aged two- bedroom house. It took several trips to Trinidad to transport the garage lumber to the site. It turned out to be a bountiful stash of materials that stood me through several remod- eling projects on the house.. We now had a home of our own five miles out Elk River Road and from there we commuted to Humboldt State College ev- ery day. We felt like we were in. I started meeting people, getting more jobs. Whatever skills I was offering found customers and so it seemed there was a match. After working years in gas sta- tions, I now had a trade that fit my temperament (and paid bet- ter). There have been good times in the construction business and hard times. Whenever I ran out of work, I remembered the guy with the brown paper bag. I would go into real estate offices and introduce myself to the agents. I almost al- ways found something by doing it that way. At Caldwell Banker one down- turn season, the agent on duty at the time connected me with one of his clients who needed help on a rental in Westhaven. After that job, I worked for the same owner over the next dozen years building or remodeling one of his projects, mostly in Arcata. It was a match made in Heav- en. I got regular work and he got OcTOBER 5, 2022 some houses fixed up and made handsome. Some things are meant to be, I like to think, and some aren't. One day as I drove up F Street, I noticed a single car garage be- ing built on the corner of the lot where Action Real Estate was lo- cated (or whatever its name was back when I was a college kid and new in town.) The original house sitting back from the street is still there, though a different business occu- pies it now. I stopped and chatted with the crew, a couple of young fellows just getting their construc- tion business going. They weren’t using old growth redwood studs and rafters but they were building a solid little garage right up close to the street. It stands on exactly the spot the garage I dismantled 30 years be- fore stood. It’s as if that particular spot in town was meant to have a garage on it. The space called out for it, as if it would not be denied again its downtown presence. One wonders how many plac- es like that there are around town, awaiting the newcomers to discover their future, as if call- ing from a past of which they are hardly aware, whether these newcomers be climate refugees, college students, retirees, profes- sionals, or just youngsters looking for a match for their dreams. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see all the new things they will bring to our communi- ty, as each one of them looks for a place to work and for their next apartment or house or room or something, anything, and refuses to give up even if finding a place to live in Arcata is hard as hell. But not impossible. You see, there was this guy who came up with a brown paper bag. Contact Daniel Duncan at dduncan362@gmail.com.

Some things sort of defy fact checking, or just sound too cool to do so “* LETTERS Local governance Yes, there is a science called Political Science, a discipline that has been prac- ticed since before our country was founded. Political scientists have long maintained that the governance that profoundly affects each of U.S. on a daily basis, is Local Gov- ernment. Our local government is the Arca- ta City Council. I was heartened to see that people have started to speak out about the candidacy of Brett Watson. It is unbelievable to me that the City Council has no power to remove someone from their midst who is technical- ly no longer allowed in the building. It is unbelievable to me that the City of Arcata ‘\ olf continues to pay a person who has committed such egregious acts that, if he were any other employee of the city, would have result- ed with him being removed from his job. It is also unbelievable to me that all Brett had to do to get back on the ballot was to find 20 registered voters to sign his petition. Those who signed should be ashamed. For those of you who don’t know, the Arcata City Council has the final say as to how the taxes are allocat- ed and who gets the funds. If you think that is a simple job, just remember that the budget for 2021-2022 was over $30 million. This is not a job for amateurs. No, they do not make up the budget but they approve the overall budget and how tax dollars are Upton eth? dlene's my Fly | RN Not so fast, Dave The Arcata Earth Flag measure M_ if approved will be a violation of the Califor- nia Constitution XI section 7. Arcata is a general law city; it must follow the provi- sions of the State Constitution. The author of Measure M failed in his research of the subject. There are laws in the California Government Code that deal with Flag display. Had that research Pool iRWY. mor & Craps cr DN AN staan nant been done you find that Display of Flags are governed by sections 430 to 439. The laws listed clearly and unambiguously define the rules for the spent. So, in addition to NOT re-electing Brett Watson, we do not need an astrologer with questionable taste in broaches nor small time business opera- tors who just want to preserve a community that may not really ex- ist. Please vote for peo- ple who understand the job and have the background in working on commissions and boards. We need some sanity at the top of the leader- ship. Thank you for listening Jan Phelps Arcata U.S. Flag and the Cal- ifornia Flag in Califor- nia counties and munici- palities and other _ state locations. Section 436 states that the U.S. Flag has’ the position of first honor. The City attorney’s im- partial analysis of Measure M states the following: “The City of Arcata is o a ‘general law’ city, orga- nized as provided in the California Government Code. As a general law city, Arcata is subject to all constraints imposed by California law.” At least two California statutes govern the manner in which a general law city is required to fly multiple flags when a city chooses to fly them together on a single flagpole. These laws require a general law city to always fly the United States flag at the top of the flagpole with no other flag above it. California Government Code §436: “Where, the National and State Flags are used, they shall be of the same size. If only one flagpole is used, the National Flag shall be above the State Flag and the State Flag shall be hung in a man- ner as not to inter- fere with any part of the National Flag. At all times the National Flag shall be placed in the position of first honor.” California Military and Veterans Code §617: “No other flag or pennant shall be placed above, or if on the same level, to the right of the Flag of the United States of America, except during church services,” This pas- sage will be in the election booklet that will be delivered shortly. The flag placement is defined by state law. The proper way to change a state law is by a_ state- wide ini- tiative or seeking a legislative solution. Article II of the California Constitution defines the rules for initiatives or measures. It does not allow a municipality to overrule the state. State law prevails over local ordinances. This is the concept of preemp- tion. The city Council is required to follow the constitution (Article XI section 7.). The proponent could have used the measure to fight the constitution to achieve more “home rule.” That clearly was not the case; the legal justification was something like the Federal Flag code has no enforcement procedures. The California flag codes have an enforcement provision. Section 437: “The superior court having jurisdiction of the offense shall enforce this chapter on the complaint of any citizen of the county.” The California Military and Veterans code 617 requires that no other flag is placed above the U.S. flag. Was the veteran group aware of this provision? I am a Viet Nam veteran; I served in the 173rd Airborne Bri- gade and I think the current position of the Earth flag is appropriate. There is no need to create an “Us versus Them” situation. Finally, on an emotional level I feel that changing the tradition of half-staff to hon- or and give condolence for the dead would be lessened with this new image. Long standing Rituals are important to society and should not be changed without serious consideration of the feelings of all parties. If this passes the City of Arcata would be an outlier for the tradition of Half-Staff along with the position of first honor. Half-staff and the position of first honor are equally recognized by red and blue states. These are not political symbols in my view. A flag defined by an image copyrighted in 1972 to take first honor is misguided at best. Arcata is the wrong venue for this measure. A state law can only be changed at the state level. Vote no on Measure M. Walt Paniak Arcata Madagascar moisture Iam unsure where Cal Poly student Jules Tatum, who asserted that it had not rained in Madagascar in the past five years (Union, Sept. 28), ac- quired this in- formation, but I sure hope it was not from Cal Poly! Even super- ficial research would have shown him that Madagas- car’s rain forests receive significant rainfall every year (no surprise there), while the more arid desert-like regions do not (also no surprise). It is a large country with multiple cli- matic regions (having been there, I do know this for sure); if Mr Tatum is to be- come a successful advocate for the climate, he might want to match the depth of his fact-finding to the depth of his emotions. Pat Bitton Eureka Appeal | Nordic must report on sustainability, and host ‘sustainability summit’ “+ FROM PAGE 1 At issue are the EIR’s assess- ments of greenhouse gas emis- sions and impacts on ocean and bay ecosystems. During a day-long Sept. 28 ap- peal hearing, representatives of the three groups said the EIR falls short on evaluating greenhouse gas and ecosystem impacts. Use of fish feed and refriger- ants, truck emission calculations, saltwater intake and wastewater discharge, and virus control all came under debate. The appellants argue that the scale of the project — it will total more than 766,000 square feet and produce 25,000 metric tons of Atlantic salmon a year — amps up the impacts. But Brenda Chandler, Nordic Aquafarm’s interim CEO, de- scribed the indoor, land-based fish farm project as a way to re- verse a trend of seafood importa- tion. “We have an opportunity to be- gin a new trend — why not make seafood production more local for food security, replace the imports and reduce our overall CO2 im- pact,” she said. The Samoa/Humboldt Bay project site — once a pulp mill whose clean-up will be completed by Nordic — was “carefully select- ed for reusing existing key infra- structure,” she continued, adding, “We are about sustainable aqua- culture — it’s our solution.” There was a mix of community opinion during a public comment period. Several people emphasized the project’s economic and food } production benefits but several others described the EIR as inad- equate and questioned its impact evaluations. Two of the county’s most well- | known environmental groups, Humboldt Baykeeper and the Northcoast Environmental Cen- ter, aren’t signed on to the appeal. But Caroline Griffith, executive director of the Northcoast Envi- ronmental Center, said she was speaking for both groups and told supervisors that to get a grip on impacts, the project needs to start small and work its way up. “The massive scale of this proj- ect and the fact that Nordic has not had proven success with a project anywhere near this size causes U.S. serious concern,” she said. The size of the project — and of its total carbon footprint — be- came a focus of supervisors’ dis- cussions. Nordic is required to use 100 percent renewable energy options for its operations. But the appel- lants and those who spoke during public comment said emissions from secondary outputs, such as manufacture and transport of fish § feed, should be factored in. Supervisor Mike Wilson agreed and he believes the carbon crisis af Zee RNNNOOEESAN . —— BEFORE AND AFTER Top, the current state of the site. Above, the planned fish farm layout. ViA County OF HUMBOLDT demands new standards of re- view. He used the examples of permitting a new gas station or grocery store and figuring the source of the fuel and the store’s product packaging into green- house gas considerations. “When we permit virtually any activity that includes importation of resources, maybe we should start, as a community, taking leadership on that,” said Wil- son. “And maybe this is the place where we start to do that.” Wilson said the Nordic project can be where the new approach starts taking “baby steps.” After a long discussion and ne- gotiations between county staff and Nordic, supervisors — minus Supervisor Steve Madrone, who was unable to attend — voted to deny the appeal but add permit- ting conditions based on Wilson’s commentary. They include having Nordic do the annual “sustainability report” and host an “annual sustainabil- ity summit” on reducing carbon emissions. That could lead to “communi- ty-wide initiatives” to cut emis- sions and Nordic is required to contribute at least $25,000 a year to specific programs. Nordic needs additional ap- provals, including state permits for water use and wastewater dis- charge, and federal permits for water intake and discharge infra- structure.

Concert tickets are $15 general, $5 for children, and free for Cal Poly Humboldt students with ID. Tickets may be pur- chased at the door or in advance at center- arts.humboldt.edu — including tickets to our paid livestream. Proof of COVID vac- cination and booster is still required for all guests on campus. At press time, the wear- ing of facemasks is not mandatory, but it is strongly encouraged. The evening’s program begins with five performances by the Wind Ensemble. They will perform Marche des Para- chutistes Belges by Pierre Leemans, ar- ranged by Charles Wiley; Aaron Copland’s The Red Pony; This Cruel Moon, by John Mackey; Satiric Dances by Dello Joio; and Diamond Tide by Viet Cuong. The program’s second half features five tunes performed by the Jazz Orchestra. The orchestra will perform Tuning Up by Toshiko Akiyoshi. Says Jazz Orchestra Leader Dan Aldag “It's designed to showcase each of the sec- tions of the band and several soloists — it's a great way for us to introduce ourselves to the audience.” They will also perform April In Paris by Wild Bill Davis and All of Me, a jazz standard arranged by Thad Jones for his own band, the Thad-Jones Mel Lewis Or- chestra. This will feature several soloists, including pianist John Gerving, alto saxo- phonist Rebekka Lopez and and trombon- ist George Epperson. 11:11 was composed by Jazz Orchestra leader Dan Aldag. Inspired by his uncanny ability to look at a clock at precisely 11:11 many times a week, Aldag says that "a tune called '11:11' has to be in the meter of 11, and has to be an 11-bar blues." Soloists on 11:11 include trombonist Brian White, gui- tarist Nick DeAnda, and trumpeters Jeff Ruiz and Eddie Kallen. Harlem Air Shaft is a Duke Ellington mas- terpiece from the early 1940s.

Among them is the Golden Rule, the premier nuclear protest vessel, which has traveled internationally and contin- ues its travels in 2022-23, advocating for nuclear dis- armament.

He’s the director of the group and comes from a family tradition of bar- bershop. “My mom directed her first bar- bershop chorus when she was pregnant with me,” he added. The concerts also include a chance for everyone to sing. “It’s tradition for the members of the chorus to go around and refresh everyone’s drinks during the in- termission,” Majors explained. “The com- munity gets to sing along during that time. We're also being COVID-friendly with in- dividual bags of popcorn and peanuts.” A men’s quartet, The Temporary Four, and a women’s quartet, Sweet Harmony, will also perform. The Humboldt Harmonaires were chartered in 1961 as a men’s barbershop society. With changing times, the group now includes women. “Everybody sings,” Majors said. They are affiliated with the national group, the Barbershop Harmony Society. Check out Humboldt Harmonaires on Facebook. Interested singers are always welcome.

The Environmental Ser- vices Department would like to share some tips to keep Arcata’s trails safe and clean for all to enjoy. Pet owners and eques- trians: * Dogs must be kept on a leash. Leashes protect dogs from becoming lost and from disturbing peo- ple, other dogs, sensitive habitats and wildlife. In accordance with city law, dogs must always be kept on a sturdy leash under 6 feet long on Arcata’s trails. MARYLAND.

City law states that pet owners must pick up their pet’s waste in a closed or sealed container and prop- erly dispose of it in a trash can. The city has Dogi-Pot pet waste stations on many trails and at most parks and playgrounds, which come equipped with dis- posable mini pet waste bags for public use. * Do not train horses on high-traffic or shared-use trails, please familiarize horses with expected trail encounters before heading out on busy trails.

PHOTO COURTESY OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION ‘YuROK TRIBE AND CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS CALIFORNIA —- On Sept. 28, the Yurok Tribe and California State Parks signed a far-reaching agreement to facilitate the cooperative management, conservation and interpre- tation of traditional and natural resources on state park lands within Yurok ancestral territory As a result of the land- mark Global Memorandum of Understanding and Tra- ditional Tribal Gathering Agreement, Yurok Tribe citizens with a tribal iden- tification card can now ac- cess state parks inside of the North Coast Redwoods District and within Yurok Ancestral Territory to: ¢ Gather plants and min- erals (without applying for a permit); and, ¢ Participate in tribal activities such as religious, spiritual, ceremonial, rec- reation, and research. Additionally, the agree- ment aims to reintegrate the Yurok Tribe’s Tradi- tional Ecological Knowl- edge into the management of natural resources within the parks. “T would like to thank California State Parks Di- rector Armando Quintero and North Coast Redwoods District Superintendent Victor Bjelajac for taking action to correct this long- standing injustice. We'd also like to thank Sabine Talaugon, the Tribal Affairs Program Manager who worked closely with our staff on the final MOU. The agreement ensures that our traditions and culture, as well as our Traditional Ecological Knowledge, will continue to be passed from one generation to the next,” Transfer Station & Recycling Center Open 7 days a week Mon - Sat 9-5 & Sun 9-4 Please visit our website for a full list of accepted materials at www.humboldtsanitation.com.

James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “The reintegration of Tribal land management practices is essential to the long-term health of the redwood forest ecosystem.” “State Parks is honored to build upon our relation- ship with the Yurok Tribe towards collaborative management and shared stewardship,” said Califor- nia State Parks Director Armando Quintero. “When the Yurok Tribe and other California Native American Tribal Nations can access their ancestral lands and continue their cultural tra- ditions and practices, all Californians will inevitably benefit.” On the coast, the Yurok Tribe’s ancestral territory extends from Damnation Creek in Del Norte County to the Little River in Hum- boldt County. The agree- ment applies to the follow- ing park lands: Sue-meg State Park, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Humboldt Lagoons State Park, Del Norte Coast Red- woods State Park (south of Damnation Creek), Trinidad State Beach and the Harry A. Merlo State Recreation Area. Previ- ously, Yurok citizens were required to acquire a per- mit from park represen- tatives in Sacramento to harvest natural materials for ceremonial regalia, tra- ditional basketry and plant medicines. The new agree- ment removes this barrier and creates a much more streamlined system. “The agreement rep- resents truth and healing in action,” said Yurok Vice Chairman Frankie Myers, who is an appointed mem- ber of California’s Truth and Healing Council. “This MOU _ further strengthens our shared stewardship/management of Parks within the North Coast Redwoods District [part of the State Park Sys- tem]. This agreement ac- knowledges the ancestral lands of the Yurok Tribe and welcomes tradition- al cultural practitioners in search of materials and contemporary ceremoni- al practices home again,” added North Coast Red- woods District Superinten- dent Victor Bjelajac. The agreement would not be possible without California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order N-15-19, which acknowl- edged the state’s “prejudi- cial policies against Cali- fornia Native Americans.” The paradigm-shifting or- der also included a promise to strengthen the govern- ment-to-government rela- tionship between the state and tribes. Following the order, the Yurok Tribe and Cal- ifornia State Parks North Coast Redwoods District have partnered on more than a dozen projects and more are ongoing. Due to this unprecedented part- nership, the tribe now op- erates the Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh “Stone Lagoon” Visitor Center, which is the only tribally managed visi- tor center within the entire California State Park sys- tem. District Superinten- dent Victor Bjelajac played a key role in the Tribe’s ef- fort to restore the name of Sue-meg State Park. The Tribe and district collab- orate on watershed resto- ration work too. The Global Memoran- dum of Understanding out- lines mutually beneficial activities that will be the focus of future agreements, including Plant Habitat Management, Biological Site Monitoring, and col- laborative management practices in Humboldt La- goons and Sue-meg State Parks.
