Massive marsh upgrade in the works

City to spend millions modernizing celebrated sewer plant
Kevin L. Hoover

ARCATA One of Arcatas most iconic and
important public works is about to be over-
hauled, and the city is approaching the project
with extreme caution.
The Wastewater Treatment Facility at the Arca-
ta Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary has been hailed as
revolutionary for incorporating natural processes
with traditional water treatment. Arcatans flush
with pride, knowing that their effluent will run
through a series of treatment ponds and wetlands
at the sanctuary, which also provides recreational
and wildlife-viewing opportunities.
FLUSH WITH PRIDE This image shows the citys Corp Yard with two new oxidation But the system is now three-plus decades old,
ditches and clarifiers superimposed over existing facilities. Graphic courtesy city of arcata creaky and maxed out and imperiled by sea level
rise. It cant keep up with projected growth, and
has trouble complying with state water quality reg-
ulations, the violations bringing costly fines.
Directed by the Arcata City Council to provide
alternatives, the city hired LACO Associates of
Eureka to review the treatment plant and develop
options. Last Thursday, March 30, the city held a
public meeting to update the public and hear any
concerns.
The city is retaining elements of the classic na-
ture/machinery model while augmenting it with
new features. The new system will retain tertiary
treatment by the ponds and marshes, but will add
a new treatment loop to increase capacity and im-
prove ammonia reduction.

Code enforcement on rise Dog abuse case drags on

Daniel Mintz
Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT The work of Humboldt
Countys Code Enforcement Unit in-
creased in 2016, a trend thats expected to
continue as the county launches enforce-
ment of a commercial medical marijuana
production ordinance.
Code enforcements work in 2016 was
detailed in a March 21 annual report to
the countys Board of Supervisors. Code
Enforcement Investigator Jeff Conner
told supervisors that 2016 saw a jump in
the number of new cases, with 149 opened
during the year.
This is more cases than have been
opened since the [code enforcement] came
into existence in 1995, he said.
Six of the new cases were from McKin-
leyville, for violations ranging from illegal
junkyards and solid waste to unpermitted
grading and construction.
One Arcata area case was opened for
solid waste violations. Two illegal grading
and construction cases were opened in the
Jacoby Creek and Fickle Hill areas.
New cases outnumbered those that
were able to be closed. Conner said 133
cases were closed in 2016.
A McKinleyville junkyard was subject to
abatement action by the county and a solid
waste situation was abated by the property
owner.
A third McKinleyville case involving an
unpermitted second unit was also closed.
The Measure Z public safety sales tax
added a part-time office assistant and a
full-time code enforcement officer to the
unit. Bernadette Arwood, the code new
officer, was assigned 85 cases in 2016 and
was able to close half of them, which Con-
ner described as amazing.
The imbalance between new and closed
cases continues a trend thats been noted
in all of the units annual reports.
This indicates that while the staff of the
(CEU) has increased, so has the workload
and we havent been able to get over the
hump where we close more cases than
were able to open, said Conner.
He added that the units workload will
increase further when the county begins
enforcing its commercial marijuana pro-
duction ordinance in the upcoming grow-
ing season. Enforcement of the countys

aRcata FiRe distRict
McKINLEYVILLE Arcata Fire District quickly extin-
guished a wind-driven fire on the 1700 block of Bird Ave-
nue in McKinleyville Sunday, April 2.
Initially, the McKinleyville engine was dispatched for
a medical aid after the Emergency Command Center re-
ceived limited information from the caller. The only in-
formation the caller gave was that they needed help. The
caller hung up before giving additional information.
The dispatch center began receiving additional calls
from other parties indicating a house was on fire and sent
the appropriate resources.
When the first engine arrived, the officer reported mod-
erate smoke coming from a single-family dwelling and the
fire was gaining momentum.
Fire Captain Nate Padula reported, When I located the
fire room, I realized the door had burned through and the
high winds were pushing hard on the fire. Conditions were
changing rapidly and access to the fire room was very chal-
lenging due to layout of the property.
Due to limited access, the first engine used four fire ex-
tinguishers to hold the fire as the second arriving engine
stretched a hose line inside of the structure. As crews were
preparing for a fire attack inside of the building, an adult
male was seen walking into the smoke filled-structure and
soon. I looked up and saw a man walk in the front door
and disappear. I notified Captain Padula and his team that

we had a known rescue. They had to stop their fire attack,
come to the front of the building, and search for the man. I
never saw him come out but it turns out he had made it out
on his own, said Battalion Chief Sean Campbell
Campbell goes on to explain how, this delayed our fire
control and changed our objectives in a hurry.
Meanwhile, the fire began to gain momentum as it was
being fed by high wind conditions.
Crews controlled the fire within 10 minutes; however,
units remained on scene for two hours in order to com-
plete overhaul, salvage and investigation duties. Arcata
Fire District sent three engines, one chief, and a logistics
unit while receiving mutual-aid from CalFire, Blue Lake
Fire, Fieldbrook Fire and Humboldt Bay Fire.
Extra resources were requested to the scene when the
crews saw the man disappear into the structure. This de-
layed the fire attack and the high wind conditions created
a potential for rapid fire extension. The Red Cross was re-
quested to assist two people that were displaced as a result
of the fire. Arcata Fire District would like to remind the
public it is unsafe to enter a building that is on fire.
Annex is hobbled by physical and other restrictions on its
ability to serve the needy. Were limited here, Simms
said. Some nights, more than a dozen participants had to
be given showers, using just two bathing facilities at the
Annex. We have to knock on the door and tell them their
times up, Simms said.
The arduous success in sheltering so many is tinged
with some deep regrets for Simms. Based on multiple
weather forecasts predicting beastly conditions, he called
shelters on some nights that turned out to be relatively
pleasant. Other nights when fair weather was forecast, it
rained frozen cats and dogs. I just felt terrible, he said.
But you dont know what you dont know.
AHP will carry on with the shelters next rainy sea-
son, from Nov. 15 to March 15. I dont know why we
wouldnt, Simms said. But what we need is a perma-
nent shelter. Then you dont have to play the crappy
game every night.

An audience member wondered wheth-

would prevent that eventuality. Dominick said
that without the logging, members would be

He said members staunchly support the plan.
Theres no question that it needs to be

one attendee. Just how much, and where.
Its the future of the course.
Along with balancing the clubs books,
Dominick said the logging will improve course
aesthetics, sunlight and air circulation.
The fact that it would generate some
revenue is significant, said Ron Ross, a only doing pond improvements and con-
member of the tree selection committee.
Attendees questioned the clubs notic-
ing for the project. One, who supported
the logging, said he had heard about it
by accident that day. Holmgren said a re-
quired legal notice had run in an unnamed
print publication weeks earlier.
Dominick said letters about the meet-
ing had been sent to adjacent property
owners, but that was it. Someone else ap-
parently created a flyer based on the letter,
and it gained limted distribution around
Sunny Brae.
Im the messenger, not the postman,
Dominick said. He said the clubs board
has been discussing the matter for the past
year-and-a-half, with no objections.
I have to disagree with that, said a

clubs pool memberships. She said that
many club members were unaware of the
logging plans. The woman said that moth-
ers and their children might feel unsafe us-

She noted that the seasonal rate for pool
memberships had been raised last year. It
presently stands at $795 per season.
Dominick said the logging committee
will make field inspections of the grounds
to designate trees to be cut. Selected club
members may accompany them, but not

will be taken among club members, Dom-
inick said.

marsh | Treatment
FrOm A1
Where the current setup can process up
to 2.3 million gallons of effluent per day,
the new loop, using an oxidation ditch and
clarifier, will add 1.8 million more gallons
of capacity. And its expandable. A second
ditch would double the expanded capac-
ity, bringing the whole system up to 5.9
million gallons per day.
The price tag for the initial expansion,
dubbed Alternative 4-1, is about $42.3
million. The two-ditch version, is $52.4
million. About $25 million of that is re-
placement costs for existing equipment.
The current ponds will also be upgraded
as part of the project.
Other alternatives explored include
verting to exclusively conventional treat-
ment. But the marsh system still has func-
tional value, even if it cant handle Arcatas
expected needs, and it has important sym-
bolic value as well. The nearly $52 million
all-conventional system would also bring
higher operating costs.
Even piping treated water out to sea,
which could reduce treatment costs, was
considered. But required ocean monitor-
ing and other expenses would offset cost
reductions.
Financing for the project is still some-
what amorphous, with city officials hesitant
to cite specific, as-yet-undetermined fig-
ures. Much of the upgrade is expected to be
covered by grant funding, but not all. The
city is hoping to be designated a disadvan-
taged community to expedite the grants.
The city is in the middle of a five-year
water rate increase intended to accumu-
late funds for the project. In what Andre
calls a worst case scenario if grant fund-
ing doesnt come through, Arcatas roughly
6,000 ratepayers could expect to pay $20 to
$26 per month additional to fund the proj-
ect. That would be reduced by $5 per month
in 2022 once a water bond is paid off.
Another $7 million is being designated
for reduction of I&I inflow and infil-
tration of rainwater into sewers due to
leaky old pipes. The city hopes to get a
grant to cover the I&I work, which would
cut inflow by as much as 1.5 million gal-
lons per day.

Oysters | Lawsuit emerges

states that given the number of acres and the layout of
the project, we are concerned the project will reduce the
carrying capacity of the habitat essential for recreation-
al and commercial fisheries such as Dungeness crab and
Chinook salmon.
Supervisor Mike Wilson said the letter includes infor-
mation that I find not to be factually correct and the
commission didnt notice its discussion and action on it
properly.
I think were just lacking process here, he added.
Wilson is a former member of the
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation
and Conservation District Commis-
sion. The district certified the Envi-
ronmental Impact Report (EIR) for
the expansion project in February
and the next step is approval from
the Army Corps and the states Coast-
al Commission.
Mike Wilson Coast Seafoods aims to increase its
mariculture footprint by about 250
acres, reduced from the 620 acres originally proposed.
The company currently has a 300-acre oyster farming
area.
Coast Seafoods General Manager Greg Dale noted
that four federal and state environmental agencies have
signed off on the project.
I do think the commission would benefit from that
conversation I havent had that with them but I havent
been notified or noticed either, he continued.
When Supervisor Virginia Bass said that the flipside
of that is that the district or Coast Seafoods also have
the opportunity to provide public comment to the Army
Corps.
Its a matter of record and its a letter that doesnt
necessarily represent the facts, Dale said in response.
Dale is a Harbor District commissioner but hes re-
cused himself from the districts discussions and actions
on the expansion project, including certification of its
EIR.
But during a public comment session, Eureka resident
Stephen Rosenberg said that the incestuous relation-
ship between the Harbor District and Coast Seafoods has
been shocking to say the least.
There was some question about whether the com-
mission was aware of recent changes to the expansion
project. Casey Allen, a member of the Fish and Game
Commission, told supervisors that we did talk about the
improvements to the EIR, including avoidance of sensi-
tive areas in the eastern part of the bay.
I think the bottom line is, folks are concerned about
the cumulative effects of mariculture expansion in the
North Bay, Allen said. Theres just a lot of encroach-
ment into the tidelands where recreational activities oc-
cur.
Also during public comment, commercial herring fish-
erman Ken Bates said that the letter appears to be ask-
ing questions and he recommended to at least make the
effort to put the questions to the Corps and allow them,
as a non-judgmental outfit, to look at whats there. Su-
pervisors agreed to do that but at Wilsons suggestion,
they changed the wording of the letter to clarify that its
contents reflect the views of the Fish and Game Commis-
sion, not the Board of Supervisors.

the 1300 block of Bates Road in McKinleyville last week.
Firefighters received the call just after 3 p.m. on
Thursday, March 30 and arrived to receive a report from
the tenant that the bedroom was on fire but that every-
one was out of the residence.
Firefighters made rapid entry and extinguished the
blaze before it was able to spread from the bedroom to
adjacent rooms.
The fire was controlled within 10 minutes; however,
units remained on scene for two hours in order to com-
plete overhaul and investigation duties.
Arcata sent two engines and a utility vehicle, two
chiefs, a logistics unit, and a CalFire engine to the fire
scene.
After school traffic was disrupted to Morris Elemen-
tary School and the California Highway Patrol assisted
with rerouting traffic around the incident. During the
incident Blue Lake and Fieldbrook Fire covered Arcata
and McKinleyville stations.
Arcata firefighters were able to issue the tenant a
S.A.V.E. card to help with their immediate expenses.
S.A.V.E. is a program of the California Fire Foundation
that provides immediate, short-term, relief to victims of
fire or other natural disasters. The California Fire Foun-

Thief in McK caught red handed, but gets away

Monday, March 27 9:17 a.m. A
McKinleyville resident who lives near
a golf course reported that her credit
card had gone missing. Afterward, the
card was used at an ATM in McKin-
leyville, a business in Eureka
and at the Blue Lake Casino.
Video surveillance from the
casino indicated that The
Usual Suspects were using
the card. The investigation
continues.
3:28 p.m. A woman in Blue
Lake parked her car in her
driveway and then went away for the
weekend. When she returned, she
found that her car had been brutal-
ized in her absence. The windshield
was smashed and there was damage
to the hood, roof and headlights. A
door handle was ripped off, and a
derogatory name was etched into the
hood. The vandalism is baffling for
the victim because she has no known
enemies and doesnt know who would
do such a thing.
10:56 p.m. A woman on Vista Drive
in McKinleyville awoke to the sound
of someone breaking into her car and
dispatched her hubby to investigate.
By the time he got outside, the thieves
were gone. The husband informed
his roommate about the situation, so
the roommate decided to
search the neighborhood.
It wasnt long before he
found someone who he be-
lieved was responsible for
the crime, detained him
and called 911. While wait-
ing for deputies to arrive,
the detainee struggled to
get away and screamed for help, there-
by summoning two of his friends, who
tried to rescue him by throwing rocks
at the roommate. Eventually, the de-
tainee wriggled out of his jacket and
got away, while the roommate got hit
in the head with a rock and suffered
a gash. Although the punk got away,
the roommate retained the jacket,
which included items that had been
stolen from the vehicle.
Tuesday, March 28 4:45 a.m.
Timothy Lewis thinks he bought a car,
but according to the Sheriffs Office he
never actually paid for it or complet-
ed the registration process. Another
fellow found himself in the same po-
sition, somehow with the same car.
This lead to an ugly confrontation on
Scenic Drive in Trinidad when Lew-
is decided to take back possession of
the car that he doesnt own. Lewis
allegedly took the car back by force,
injuring the other fellow in the pro-
cess. Lewis then allegedly falsified the
paperwork and registered the car in
his name.
9:19 a.m. Someone broke into a mo-
torhome that was kept in a storage lot
in the 2500 block of Central Avenue
in McKinleyville.
2:11 p.m. A water district employ-
ee in Glendale went to shut off a
residents water and noticed an un-
responsive male slumped over in a
chair inside the house. The employee
knocked on the door, but the male did
not move. A deputy was summoned
and made entry into the house by
breaking a window. An ambulance
was called and the occupant was tak-
en to a local hospital.

HIKERS RESCUED The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two
hikers who were stranded along the Eel River near Is-
land Mountain, Wednesday morning, March 29. Local
responders contacted Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay
watchstanders around 10 p.m., Tuesday requesting assis-
tance locating two hikers who had become stranded. An
MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air
Station Humboldt Bay in McKinleyville hoisted two men
into the helicopter and transferred them to local response
personnel waiting in a nearby field at approximately 12:20
a.m. The hikers were reportedly sightseeing along the Eel
River when they became disoriented and lost after sunset.
One man was reportedly experiencing symptoms of dehy-
dration at the time of the rescue. A ground party consist-
ing of local responders attempted to reach the hikers but
were unable due to river flow and rapids. Weather at the
time of the rescue consisted of clear skies with tempera-
tures in the 40s. There were no reports of injuries.

and complicated. Hence his take-no-prisoners pose.
Chest-thumping, he is the lone ranger who can ward off
the plots and schemes and subterfuges only he is aware
of. Im the president and youre not. Conspiracy the-
ory is a psychic relief because it vastly simplifies lifes
maddening frustrations and perplexities. Most people
tend to adjust and adapt to lifes puzzles as they grow
older. Trump is unusually vulnerable because his inner
self is largely empty. In Gertrude Steins formulation,
Theres no there there. His is a pseudo self, a con-
struct for his vacant interior.
He splashes his name on buildings and products
around the world, sweeping self-advertisement. Emo-
tionally intact people do not suffer from such monu-
mental neediness and vaulting pride. Stunted, Trump
exorcises his inner demons with conspiratorial notions,
which he fondles in his bilious way. They stabilize his
inward disorientation. He must rebuild them constant-
ly because they are rickety scaffolds.
His certainty that former President Obama spied on
him is one among many helpless expressions of an out-
sized persecution complex, which exceeds even that of
the tormented Richard Nixon. A small personality sees
enemies behind every bush and under every bed, as
Nixon imagined with Communists.
Physical expressions of Trumps insecurity are his
gauche and gaudy mansions at Trump Tower and Mar-
a-Lago, reminiscent of the wanton baroque vulgarity of
Louis XIVs Palace of Versailles. The presidents mere-
tricious sense of style is glaringly devoid of taste. With-
out taste, Voltaire said, there is nothing.
Personal insecurity explains Trumps genius for mar-
keting, which is always and everywhere an exercise in
sophistry. Hes skilled at hoodwinking people because
he is adept at fooling himself. In the fury of his politi-
cal pitches to adoring crowds, he convinces himself ad
nauseam that he is great. Hence Make America Great
Again. He and the country are interchangeable, arent
they? Just say yes.

It petrified him in adolescent amber.
His truncated political appeal will prove fleeting. The
size of his political base has been static all along.
As time goes by his supporters will lose interest and
tire of him, especially if he breaks his promises of uni-
versal health care and lucrative jobs. Americans are
notorious for their short attention spans and terminal
impatience.
Too many of us lack a basic knowledge of civics and
history. A bare 25 percent of Americans name the three
branches of government or explain the federal system
of checks and balances. Our schools and colleges have
abdicated their civic responsibility to the republic.
Too many of us believe, with Henry Ford, that His-
tory is more or less bunk, even though the past is pro-
logue. Ignorant of history, we are poor judges of where
our countrymen are headed, what our leaders are made
of, how they are likely to behave. A people who expect to
be ignorant and free expect what never was and never
will be, whether Jefferson said so or not.
In our heedlessness, counseled Machiavelli, we
change masters (presidents) willingly, hoping to better
ourselves. In this we are deceived, as experience later
proves that we have gone from bad to worse.
We refuse to listen to leaders who tell us the truth.
Imagine trying to sell realism on the campaign trail,
telling voters not all problems have solutions, that
thorns are more populous than roses. In the passions
of the electoral moment, in our past disappointments,
we fall for the visions of elusive utopias that candidates
peddle to us.
History doesnt repeat itself, we do.

An inaccessible river runs through it
Imagine a charming little college town nestled on the
banks of a beautiful river. The town is known for many
things; a university, music, markets, fairs, arts, forest
parks and bird walks by the bay but the river is forbid-
den to pedestrians.
One could, of course drive out of town to river access-
es but if you dont own a car or (in the interest in being
environmentally friendly) prefer to walk or bicycle this
becomes a challenge and for the handicapped an impos-
sibility.
The town is Arcata.
The Mad River flows along the north end of town. All
access is closed to the public because of the businesses
along the river bank. What happened to the promise that
there would be public access to the river through the new
business park?
There are no parks in walking distance for the residents
on the north end of town. Well known fact: people with ac-
cess to parks are healthier, happier and more productive.
Whats up Arcata?
I for one would love to be able to walk to the river near
my home but cannot because all access within walking dis-
tance is closed. From the north end of town it is five miles
one way to river access near the mouth of the Mad River
and it is almost three miles one way up river to the nearest
pump station.
Should you choose to walk or bicycle you will take your
life into your hands on narrow roads with crazy drivers
and no sidewalks or bicycle paths. Imagine your kid trying
to get to the river. Im wondering how Arcata got the Bi-
cycle Friendly status.

Humboldt State
VAN DUZER THEATRE The Theatre,
Film and Dance Department at Humboldt
State University presents Luminescence,
an original dance concert created by stu-
dents and faculty, in the Van Duzer Theatre
on campus for two weekends.
Sharon Butcher, associate professor of
Dance, oversees the production. In addi-
tion to functioning as artistic director of
Luminescence, Butcher is teacher/mentor
of a dance production class in which she
guides students through all facets of pro-
ducing this dance concert. Students work
together on costuming, publicity and fund-
raising in addition to the creation and re-
hearsal of the dances. Butcher explains that
it is a great experience for students: They
envision, create, choreograph/compose,
and stage their dances. They coordinate,
teach, coach and direct their cast mem-
bers. Butcher also choreographed one of
the dances in the show.
This production promises an exciting
variety in styles and themes of dance. Cas-
sandra Cree, choreographer of Vanquish-
ing Twilight, described the piece as a con-
temporary lyrical dance about accepting
and overcoming endeavors that have beat-
en you up inside. Cree explained that she
found inspiration in the idea that during
hard times you can find support in your-
self and others, adding, I used movement
that best represented internal struggle and
the idea of coming together as one.
Redemption explores contemporary, jazz
and hip hop styles and is choreographed
by Edgar Ocelotl, a student with a double
major in Criminology & Justice Studies
and Dance. Ocelotl, who found a passion
for Latin dance during high school while
attending family gatherings, described the
dance as a look at how overcoming your
inner struggles is a process that takes time
but can lead to finding, understanding and,
hopefully, loving yourself.
Choreographer Austin Silavong explains
that his dance, titled Reveries of Youth, was
inspired by the HSU childrens center phi-
losophy of learning through social play. I
knew I wanted to work with one dancer and
focus on innocence, joy, personal growth,
and development. The dance takes place
in a day dream of childhood memories.
Austin is a Cellular-Molecular Biology ma-
jor with a minor in Child Development and
Dance.
Jessie Rawson choreographed Jet Set in
the style of musical theatre. Jet Set is a fun
and sassy musical theatre piece about the
luxuries and joys that come with traveling
the world for a living! explained Rawson.
These dances are only a few of the num-
bers in the production. All in all, there are
nine student choreographers, two facul-
ty choreographers, 11 dances and over 50
dancers. The dancers are mostly students
but also include community members and
alumnae of the Dance Studies Program.
Dont miss this fascinating, creative
and original performance! The production
opens in HSUs Van Duzer Theatre Thurs-
day, April 6 and continues April 7, 8, 13,
14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. There will be one
matinee performance beginning at 2 p.m.
Sunday, April 16. The performance on Sat-
urday April 15 will include a silent auction
fundraiser in the theatre lobby. Admission
is $10/$8 for students and seniors/free for
HSU students with student ID. Parking is
free on weekends. For tickets, call (707)

received a postcard with some good news the other
day. If you live in Arcata, you probably got one too, a
promise from the garbage company that, from now on,
they won't crash around picking up our trash so damned
early. Not before 5 a.m. anyway. Ive been jerked out of
dreamland many times.
I received another note via email
and Facebook. My longtime friend, the
songwriter Joanne Rand, has a show
coming up Friday, April 7, at the Sanc-
tuary, marking the release of her latest
album, Roses in the Snow & Drought,
with a title song about a timely subject:
continuing to create against all odds.
Did I perhaps want to cover the
show? Of course, since she is a truly
fine songwriter and one of Arcatas
treasures. Maybe chat about it? Certainly. We had a chat.
At this point, Im going to shift into Q&A mode starting with
our talk about Joannes early life goal: not to be a freewheel-
ing superstar, to become a freewheeling garbage collector.
Joanne: I was awakened at 5 a.m. by the sound of the
garbage trucks, and remembered being a kid and seeing a
garbage man at dawn, and wanting to be one when I grew
up because it seemed so FREE.
The Hum: Really, a garbage collector?
The life goals changed through the years. I'm happy
with the one I settled on.

Ruby Tuesday
Years ago (Im not sure how many
years), I went to see Joanne sing
at a now defunct restaurant called
Avalon. At the door, I met a young
lady with a musical name, Melody
Walker. She knew Joanne from
HSU, one of many women drawn
by her power. Melody was clearly
someone who wanted to make her
way in the world of music.
We became friends and Ive
watched the trajectory of her career
following that difficult path, through
several local bands including Aka
Bella (focusing on international a
cappella), the folky Vintners Daugh-
ters, world beat band Womama,
and so on. At some point she met
Jake, who was playing in the Bay
Area Afrobeat band Albino, but was
equally interested in Americana and
something-grass. They joined forc-
es, Melody graduated from HSU and
eventually moved back to the Bay
Area where she was from.
As she put it at the time, she,
loves Humboldt but couldn't make
the musical connections I needed
there, might not even be able to do
it here in the Bay, might need to be
in L.A., Nashville or NYC. Melody
and Jake assembled a band of pick-
ers calling it Front Country (the
opposite of backcountry) and found
a vehicle for her Americana-grass
songs.
Last time I heard from her, Jake
and Melody had moved to Nashville,
and made and Kickstarted a record.
And then got a record deal, all with
a full touring schedule of 150 dates
or so. The deal was with Organic
Records, a very small indie label
out of Asheville, very old school, yet
organic. The move was six months
of houseless crashing in Nashville
a few days at a time between tours
until we finally moved into a place.
Making a living or any money from
your music isn't easy in this day and
age. After five years of touring at
least 60 dates a year, ramping up to
100 and 150 the last two years, we
are self-sufficient on the band.
This coming Tuesday, April 11
Front Country barnstorms through
Arcata for a show at Humboldt
Brews, part of a West Coast tour
behind their Organic album Other
Love Songs, officially out this week.
Melody says, I wrote the vast major-
ity of the new record. Pretty proud
of that. I wrote a ton of emotional,
relational songs will all the feels for
this new album. They really sound
good, shining like a polished ruby.
Front Country is taking her where
she wants to go.
The Humbrews show includes
Steep Ravine an Americana/new-
grass/folk-rock band that got to-
gether in Santa Cruz, and now calls
the San Francisco Bay Area home.
Their bio tells us they have a Cal-
ifornian sound using elements of
folk, bluegrass, jazz, rock and pop
to make music they hope youll like.

Meanwhile
Elsewhere in Arcata that night,
the Redwood Jazz Alliance brings
their 11th season to a close with a
concert at HSUs Fulkerson Recit-
al Hall with New York-based pia-
nist, composer, bandleader and ed-
ucator David Berkman, an old
friend of the RJA, with his combo
Old Friends and New Friends
with Dayna Stephens on tenor
sax, Linda Oh on bass, and anoth-
er old RJA friend, Rudy Royston,
on drums. As usual, theres a free
workshop earlier in the day (3 p.m.)
somewhere on campus. Jazz aficio-
nados, dont miss this.
Also on Tuesday, Outer Space
has a different kind of music (as
usual) with Ian Sweet, a scuzzy
indie pop trio from a different part
of New York with a new record on
Hardly Art Records, also Post-
Life, a wonder-punk-gaze-wave
quartet from Los Angeles, and Mis-
ter Moonbeam, the technicolor
cowboy from Eureka, one of those
one-man-bands which never fails to
amaze. Sounds like big fun in Outer
Space again.
That same night at the Eureka
Municipal Auditorium, the biggest
indoor venue in Humboldt, theres
a big ticket show by Shinedown,
a band from Florida I knew nothing
about until this event popped up on
a Pollstar search. According to Wiki-
pedia, Shinedown has sold more
than 10 million albums worldwide,
and has had 11 No. 1 singles on the
Billboard Mainstream Rock charts,
the third most of all time, behind
Van Halen and Three Days Grace. I
realize Im totally out of touch when
it comes to the mainstream, which,
in this case, seems to mean qua-
si-metal rock. Shinedown is on tour
with As Lions, another quasi-met-
al band, this one fronted by Austin
Dickinson, the son of Bruce Dickin-
son of Iron Maiden fame (for what
thats worth).

Janine Volkmar
BLUE LAKE Museum
quality prints of the only
known photograph of the
Crannell Creek Giant coast
redwood have just been
reproduced for sale at the
Blue Lake Museum.
The Crannell Creek red-
wood is the largest redwood
ever with both photograph-
ic and written measure-
ment documentation. This
tree was also known as the
Maple Creek redwood or
the Captain Elam tree. Cap-
tain Elam was a well known
woodsman.
In a letter written by
Professor Emanuel Fritz of
the University of Califor-
nia, Berkeley, Fritz called
A. E. Captain Elam one
of the best redwood timber
cruisers. Fritz was a found-
er of the Redwood Region
Logging Conference and a
councilor to the Save-the-
Redwoods League.
The Crannell Creek red-
woods total height was
308 feet tall according to
Michael Taylors website,
using information from the
Lumberman Magazine of
October 1926.
Some people believe
that a cookie of the giant
tree, or slice, was the entire
north wall of the tourist at-
traction, The Stump House,
on Broadway, in Eureka. A
sign on the wall there men-
tioned the origin from a
308 foot redwood in Maple
Creek near Crannell.
Joseph Wilhelm has
worked his magic photo-
graphic skills to make prints
on matte archival cotton fi-
ber paper. Print sizes are
the original 18-by-36 inches
and a smaller size of 9-by-
18 inches. These prints will
be handsome with the right
framing. Sales start at the
museums opening April 9.

Interns PItCh In
Have Yet To Encounter
Any Dead Bodies
Janine Volkmar
BLUE LAKE We get
the opportunity to cre-
ate our own exhibit, Noel
DiBenedetto said.
She and her fellow in-
tern, Lucy Her, were in the
midst of arranging old cam-
eras and photographs in a
case, getting ready for the
spring opening of the Blue
Lake Museum.
We have so much more
responsibility here, she
added.
DiBenedetto is a junior
journalism major with a
minor in anthropology. Her
is also a junior, majoring in
Anthropology and minoring
in Biology, with an interest
in forensic anthropology.
Her once spent three
around 600 medieval buri-
als. So far, the two interns
have not encountered any
dead bodies.
DiBenedetto and Her
are students in Dr. Jeanette
Coopers Archeological and
Museum Practices class at
Humboldt State University.
Their work is invaluable
to the museum, sais Muse-
um Curator Cynthia Gour-
ley-Bagwell.
The interns spend the
entire semester at the mu-
seum and will be at the
opening to greet folks.

and feeding it into the grid,
working in partnership with
PG&E, which will continue to deliver elec-
tricity and maintain lines as they always
have. Called Community Choice Energy,
sometimes known as Community Choice

renewable energy and reduce costs locally.
Marshall said that in May 2017, Humboldt
County will automatically be transitioned
to REpower service, using 35 percent re-
newable energy, which has a higher re-
newable content than PG&Es energy, at a
lower cost. Customers also could sign up
for REpower+, which is 100 percent re-
newable at a slightly higher price.
PG&E customers may choose not to
participate in Community Choice Energy
and continue with PG&E as a bundled
customer. Before May. Redwood Coast

information on how to opt out of the pro-
