HUMBOLDT – An annu-
al state legislative hearing on
fisheries focused on fighting the
re-emergence of what was de-
scribed as a dangerous threat –
new offshore oil drilling.
Alarm over President Don-
ald Trump’s five-year plan to
open coastal areas – including
California’s – to new offshore
oil and gas drilling was a fea-
tured aspect of a March 9 Joint
Committee on Fisheries and
Aquaculture hearing.
Senator Mike McGuire, the
committee’s chair, began the
hearing by saying that “Pres-
ident Trump’s looming dan-
gerous proposal” is a threat
to fisheries. “This is a massive
threat and potential assault on
California’s $7 billion commer-
cial fishing industry and our $2
billion recreational fishing in-
dustry,” he continued.
The annual hearing is named
after the late Zeke Grader, a
longtime fisheries advocate,
and McGuire said Trump’s plan
recalls the ones that Grader and
other ocean advocates success-
fully fought off in the 1980s.

A faint outline of the plaque re-
mains on the large granite rock at
Eighth and H streets. A replace-
ment plaque is in the works, with
wording that will be developed by
the city and local Indian tribes.
Native Americans and others
concerned with historical accu-
racy had objected to the plaque’s
flippant characterization of the
mass killings and destruction
committed against the area’s in-
digenous peoples, and their resis-
tance, as “Indian troubles.”
The long-sought removal of the
plaque did little to cool the heat-
ed controversy over the statue of
President William McKinley on
the Plaza.
While the City Council’s Feb.

statue remains in place, the coun-

McKinley | Controversy roils
FROM A1
to disuss a ballot measure that could offer Arcata voters a say
in the statue’s destiny. One option is keeping it where it is.
During the late Council and Staff Reports section of the
meeting, City Councilmember Susan Ornelas proposed
that the McKinley statue’s fate be put to a public vote. The
suggestion opens the door to an advisory ballot measure
or mail-in ballot on which Arcata voters could effectively
affirm or override the council’s recent decision to have the
statue removed.
Ornelas asked her fellow councilmembers whether they
wished to agendize discussing “some type of voting sys-
tem” on the matter. In a straw poll, Councilmembers Brett
Watson and Michael Winkler immediately agreed, forming
a council majority.
Ornelas defended the council’s Feb. 21 decision as “rep-
resentative democracy,” and one arrived at after thoughtful
consideration. But she said she had heard from frustrated
citizens who felt that the council “didn’t serve democracy.”
“People want to be heard,” she said. “This is a big issue.”
Councilmember Paul Pitino, a staunch McKinley foe, op-
posed reconsideration. “Just so you know, no,” he said flatly.
Mayor Sofia Pereira agreed to agendize the matter. “The
fun continues,” she said, in a sardonic tone.
City Manager Karen Diemer said she will bring an agen-
da item forward, but that she hadn’t heard any instruction
to include language rescinding the council’s 4–1 vote to re-
move the statue.
“That was was not my intent, and I don’t intend to pro-
mote that tonight,” Ornelas said.
She advocated for a “multi-tiered education program”
for better appreciating local history.
Ornelas likened re-examining the statue matter to the study
of alternatives for the Plaza center which would be done any-
way in the project’s Environmental Impact Report.
‘I support an advisory vote’

“The McKinley Statue – a suggestion by Susan Ornelas,”

HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMITTEE Arcata’s Historic

Landmarks Committee meets Thursday, March 15 at 4
p.m. in Council Chamber at Arcata City Hall, 736 F St.
Agenda items include establishment of a subcommittee
to work with others on wording for the replacement his-
toric landmark plaque for the Jacoby Building; an update
on the Design Review Ordinance; discussion of National
Historic Preservation Month; and more.
Public Safety Task Force issues final report
Kevin L. Hoover
Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – Arcata’s Public Safety Task Force (PSTF)
met 12 times over 12 months, attempting to identify crime
problems and solutions in Arcata. Recognizing the prob-
lems was the easy part; finding solutions, not so much.
Unresolved crime-busting business led the council to
embrace in principle a suggestion by the task force to cre-
ate a standing Public Safety Committee.
Task Force Chair Anjali Browning summarized the con-
tents of the report (readable at madriverunion.com) for
the City Council last week.
Browning said she appreciated the opportunity to con-
tribute as part of a diverse and representative cross-sec-
tion of the community. That diversity, she said, “ultimately
improved our understanding of the issues facing Arcata.”
She said many of the problems the task force identified
were serious enough to justify their own report.
Common themes included mental illness, substance
dependence, homelessness and poverty, racial equity, lack
of social services, police understaffing and lack of penal
consequences for minor crimes, which makes violations
“almost impossible to enforce.”
Browning said there was “no single Band-Aid” to ad-
dress the spectrum of challenges. The need for services,
she said, greatly exceeds their availability.
However, she said, investments in social services and
crime prevention “will pay for themselves by reducing
demand on healthcare and policing services, improving
overall quality of life and possibly encouraging or at least
not deterring economic growth.”
Browning said the PSTF report could be used by the new
Public Safety Committee to draft a “community safety part-
nership plan.” The city, she said, should make priorities of
public safety, equity and inclusion, mental health and so-
cial services, community policing strategies, crime reduc-
tion and crime prevention strategies, community partner-
ships and formation of a standing Public Safety Committee.
Browning said that a smaller committee than the
12-member task force would likely be most effective in
terms of using available time.
The council will consider staff recommendations for
formation of a standing Public Safety Committee via an
ordinance at a future meeting.

OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE: Some of the submissions below
came in prior to the Arcata City Council’s decision
last week to revisit the McKinley statue issue.
At this point, the Union has published every
McKinley-related submission we have received.
Thank you for your comments.

McKinley – history tells us he was above average, not a monster

T
he message was clear from
the attendees at the Feb.
21 Arcata City Council
meeting: if you oppose taking
the McKinley statue down you
are complicit in racism and, yes,
the murder of oppressed people.
If you don’t accept the Wiyot po-
sition favoring removal, you are
guilty of continuing the imperial-
ist oppression of which McKinley
was the poster boy. If you couldn’t
accept that this was a vote from
the heart, maybe you lack a heart.
If you put the issue to a vote of the
people, the white majority would
trample the rights of the minority.
Whew!
One disturbing thing that
seemed to pervade the council
meeting was the notion that be-
cause the Wiyot tribe favored re-
moval, well, that’s all people of
good will need to know. “Done
deal,” said many. I too do believe
the tribe’s views should be treat-
ed with respect and given weight.
Likewise, I applaud efforts to ex-
pand the Native Studies curricu-
lum at Humboldt State — it should
set a standard for the entire state
and I strongly support the efforts
of the Eureka City Council to turn
back large amounts of Indian Is-
land to the tribe.
In this particular case, howev-
er, the views of the tribe should
not simply be rubber-stamped. It
is unfair to demonize those of us

Michael’s ‘mob’ talk
I have been reflecting on Michael Win-
kler’s recent open letter regarding the Ar-
cata City Council’s decision to relocate the
statue of William McKinley from the Plaza.
I was at that meeting, having marched from
the Plaza to City Hall with 200 others, and
I have been at other meetings in the past
where this subject has come up. Michael
seemed appalled at the tone of the council
meeting, where an engaged and loud crowd
were expressing their opinions. While he
has pointed fingers about the heightened
tone of this meeting, I would like to offer
that it is a lack of leadership in this matter
that lead to that evening’s tone and temper.
If voices felt like they were being heard,
there would not have been marching in the
streets. The Arcata City Council failed to
act for decades, one decade of which Mi-
chael has served as a councilmember.
I usually respect Michael Winkler’s ap-
proach, even if I don’t always agree with the
positions he takes. I met him shortly after
moving to Humboldt County – as a writer,
I interviewed him for an article about his
dedication to waste reduction and that he
only disposed of one trash can’s worth of
trash in a year. I cannot, however, abide by
the temper in his open letter.
Michael, you are a leader in this com-
munity. You are above calling the opposi-
tion names like “lynch mob” (historically a
term used to describe a white community
stringing up a black man). You are above
needlessly invoking trigger words like Don-
ald Trump and Tea Party. You still have an
opportunity to encourage unity and com-
promise that will move our community for-
ward. Where can this statue be preserved
off of the Plaza? That is a question worth
answering well.
I know, Michael, that you care deep-
ly about the community and the planet. I
hope you choose to live up to the calling.
Allison Edrington
Fortuna
Apologize for that
In his “Open letter to Arcata Mayor Sofia
Pereira” (Union, Feb. 24), Michael Winkler
asserts that the citizens who turned out for
the Feb. 21 city council meeting behaved
like a “lynch mob” or “vigilantes.” Funny,
I didn’t notice anyone rushing the dais
where the councilmembers were seated.
Strange indeed to hear a white man em-
ploy the term “lynch mob” to characterize a
group of engaged citizens that included in-
digenous peoples and students of color. Mr.
Winkler deserves censure for his frivolous
use of the term which describes the brutal
reality of lived history for African Amer-
icans. The use of terms like “lynch mob”
and “mob” and “vigilante” is inflammatory
language, which is not protected speech,
LETTERS
because of its potential to cause harm (in-
citing real mobs to inflict violence).
Now that whites have amassed all the
power, we hear repeated calls for “civility”.
But what to make of this thin veneer of “ci-
vility” belying Humboldt County’s history
of massacres, rapes, vigilantism, and yes
lynchings, that characterized Humboldt
County’s response to Native Americans 160
years ago? (Just a “blink of an eye” in his-
torical terms.) Where was the civility then?
As Civil War historian Kevin Levin said,
“‘Lynch mob’ is wrapped up in our very
dark history. Taking that language and ap-
plying it to anything (else)… it’s a way of
dismissing that history.”
Mr. Winkler appears to have taken a
page out of the playbook of the GOP. When
Republican members of Congress rushed
to defend Donald Trump and Roy Moore
against sexual assault allegations, they
latched on to the term “lynch mob” to si-
lence their critics. Just google the words
“lynch mob” and GOP, and you’ll find that
they have a history of misusing the term.
And now we have Mr. Winkler jump-
ing on this sorry bandwagon. Where are
we? The Deep South of Humboldt County?
Where white folks and inanimate statues
fear the noose? Please.
Michael Winkler owes an apology to
POC and every engaged citizen who cared
enough to show up for the Feb. 21 coun-
cil meeting. If he refuses to apologize, he
deserves to be censured by the rest of the
council. This inflammatory language has
no place in our town or on our city council.
Sincerely,
Lisa Pelletier
Arcata
A ‘mob’ it wasn’t
Some have likened us, the impassioned
crowd that attended the Arcata City Coun-
cil meeting last week, to a mob. I even saw
the words “lynch mob” used to describe us
in print. Wow, really? Did they realize it was
Black History Month? Maybe the people in-
voking those images weren’t paying attention
to the regular events occurring in our area.
People getting together to reflect on a peo-
ple’s history that includes actual lynch mobs.
I saw emotional moments, especially
with Josiah’s death being unresolved. Lo-
cal people of color and their compassionate
allies commemorating Black History amid
a contemporary backdrop of selective jus-
tice, unfair wage gaps, racist trolls on so-
cial media, punitive immigration actions,
and disproportionately cruel incarceration
rates. It is our white privilege that makes
the discomfort of facing those historical
and present-day injustices optional for
most of us. This was the context that the
Arcata City Council received a passionate
plea from marginalized community mem-
bers, whose ancestors loved this place and
then lost it to brutal conquest and who
were asking for relief from the burden of
being confronted by symbols that open
old wounds whenever the visit the Arcata
plaza. Yes, the message was delivered in
angst. I was there. I spoke out. The anger in
the room made me uncomfortable too, but
knowing the context, I felt it was justified.
And I can see how someone who missed the
context could mistake the righteousness in
those voices for something else. Mobs are
motivated by hate. If that is what some
saw, I disagree. That was love delivered
with righteous anger.
To compassionate people of privilege
in Humboldt County: I respectfully assert
that in the age of Trump, good intentions
are not enough. History is repeating itself
on our watch. Ask yourself: what would I
have done if I was of age when people of
African descent were being fire-hosed,
beaten, and attacked by dogs for disrupting
white culture with non-violent direct action
in the name of equal justice? Would I have
stayed silent when the Wiyot were massa-
cred during their world renewal ceremony
on Duluwat Island? If you feel you would
have acted, then act now. Get curious. Lis-
ten. Resist becoming emotional when you
experience anger directed towards you as
you learn how to be an ally to people of col-
or. Allowing space for that anger is the first
step. Even though historic injustice may
not be our fault directly, we have a respon-
sibility to engage that history and respect-
fully make our voices heard in the present,
which is both a gift and an opportunity.
This is Wiyot land. Josiah’s death is un-
resolved. The undocumented in our com-
munity are under threat. The McKinley
statue is a symbol of historic injustice that
does not belong at the heart of the Arcata
we know and love. Removing the statue is a
small gesture to the descendants of the sur-
vivors of a dark time in our local history.
It’s is the right thing to do. Let’s re-home it
and replace it with something better.
Respectfully,
David Carter

Remove the council, not McK
The “Politically Correct” mob demand-
ed that president McKinley’s statue be re-
moved, after being on the Arcata Plaza for
more than a hundred years.
Allegedly, another president, Harry
S. Truman explained in 1945 to General
MacArthur that “political correctness is a
doctrine fostered by a delusional minority
and promoted by a sick mainstream media
which holds forth the proposition that it is
entirely possible to pick up a piece of sh_t
by the clean end.”
If this is true, before the “Politically Cor-
rect” mob meets again, hopefully they will
wash their hands very carefully and find
something constructive to do with their time.
If anything needs to be removed from Ar-
cata, we should look no farther than City Hall.
Wade DeLashmutt, Sr.
Arcata
How does this help?
In her letter (Commendation and Heal-
ing, March 7) about the removal of the
McKinley statue, much of what Tamara Mc-
Farland said about the history of unfairness
towards Native Americans rang true. How-
ever, given a difficult decision, I commend
Michael Winkler in calling for a vote by the
citizens of Arcata to determine the outcome.
Mayor Pereira had said about placing
the issue on the ballot; “I think we lose the
nuance of people’s perspective on it.” How
is nuance served by four (albeit our rep-
resentatives) deciding the vote for all on
this important matter? A number of those
speaking for the removal during the meet-
ing said they didn’t want it to go to a vote.
One talked about the tyranny of the major-
ity. Actually, in history, that statement has
been used in talking about the minority be-
ing protected by the Supreme Court, not as
an excuse to suppress the vote.
In Fhyre Phoenix’s letter (Scoreboard
Shaming) he stated that the number at the
meeting calling for removal was about 150,
and those clearly against just one. Well he’s
wrong there because I spoke up against re-
moval, although I didn’t defend McKinley,
but wanted the addition of a plaque to put
the statue in context.
Also against removal, and defending
McKinley (and in particular his Civil War
service) was Owen Moore, who, unfortu-
nately, was repeatedly interrupted by the
crowd. More importantly, how many more
residents of Arcata could have expressed
their views through a vote? Phoenix’s ef-
forts, and the way he went about it, are to be
commended also. But not all of Arcata’s citi-
zens are activists. They still deserved a vote.
In both McFarland’s and Phoenix’s let-
ters Dan Hauser was attacked for his let-
ter in response to the council’s decision. I
would just say that, speaking of history, Ar-
cata has a lot to thank Dan Hauser for: the
Arcata Marsh for starters, as well as all his
public service over the years. He is worth
listening to, and worthy of respect.

munity leaders will join the
management and staff of
Recology for the event.
Recognizing the need
for a larger facility, Recol-
ogy Humboldt County and
Recology Arcata have now
relocated to Samoa. Previ-
ously the Arcata Communi-
ty Recycling Center, it’s the
big green building near the
beach now strictly used for
its original purpose, as a
local mechanized recycling
sorting processing plant.
Linda Wise, Recolo-
gy general manager, not-
ed, “Our Recology offices
moved on Feb. 23 and the
truck maintenance and
parking area will next be
relocated to Samoa. Cus-
tomers who want to drop
off payments can still use
the mail slots at both 949
W. Hawthorne in Eureka or
30 W. G Street in Arcata, or
they can come over to the
555 Vance Ave. location if
they want personal service.”
The Samoa facility is
a LEED Silver Certified
building, built in 2009 as a
recycling facility that would
serve the local community.
It closed a few years lat-
er and was re-opened as a
public transfer station and
recycle facility by Eel River
Disposal. Arcata Garbage
and Eel River Disposal was
purchased by Recology last
year, after the two owners
of those companies decid-
ed to sell to an employee
owned company, Recology,
and retire, thus leaving em-
ployees a legacy after their
many years of service.
Recology is the only 100
percent employee owned
company in the industry
and is not publicly traded.
Since the 1980s, Recology
has developed into a suc-
cessful business, held by
employees who truly live in
and care about the commu-
nity. The Samoa facility, no
longer open to the public, is
now processing materials
from Humboldt, Del Norte
and Ashland, Ore.

I
hope everyone has weathered the change in time the
past weekend and no one has been late to any activ-
ities. With the invention of cell phones that change
their times automatically, daylight saving time has not
been as difficult as it was in the past.
Due to my schedule, I’ll be out of
town over the next week or so, which
means I won’t be able to submit any
notes for a week. So, that means this
week is jam-packed with a couple
weeks of awesome things to do in the
City of Blue Lake.
It’s time for the first “green waste
day” of the year on Saturday, March
17. This is open to all residents, and
is a free drop off of all yard waste ma-
terials. No wood that contains any kind of treatment or
stain is allowed. Residents can drop off their loads at the
Corporation Yard at 199 Taylor Way in Blue Lake from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m.
There are plenty of meetings taking place within the
city coming up soon. These are some of the best ways to
think globally by acting locally. Sometimes, we may feel
that we cannot change the world, but look to your local
community, get involved, and see the world change be-
fore your very eyes.
The Mad River Grange will hold its monthly meeting
on Wednesday, March 14. Pot luck begins at 6 p.m. and
the meeting will begin at 7 p.m.
The Fire District will have its meeting on Monday,
March 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fire Hall, which is at the
corner of First Street and Greenwood.
Also on Monday, March 19 at 7 p.m., the Blue Lake
Planning Commission will have its monthly meeting,
and on Tuesday, March 20 at 3:30 p.m., the Blue Lake
Economic Development Commission will have its next
regular meeting. These meetings will take place at Skin-
