But Interim Chief Probation Officer
Shaun Brenneman suggested that it’s im-
practical to make changes that trigger lon-
ger jail and prison stays because of capac-
ity issues.
“Today, the Humboldt County jail is
over-capacity – today – and prison is still
at 131 percent capacity,” he said. “So re-
gardless of how we re-classify offenses,
we’re still going to have to do this triage
about who do we want to keep in our facil-
ities and what kinds of offenses make the
most sense.”
Most county jail inmates are await-

minority of inmates who have been sen-
tenced will be the ones who get “early
kicks” if new felony offenders are booked.

The primary purpose of this scop-

process and allow for community in-
put. At this meeting, the City of Arcata Community De-
velopment Department will present a project summary,
discuss project alternatives and consider recommenda-
tions made by community members.
Following this meeting, the Community Develop-
ment Department will complete a Draft EIR and circu-

place in June or July. The public and other agencies will
also have the opportunity to comment during this pe-
riod.
Next, the Community Development Department will
respond to input on the Draft EIR and prepare its find-
ings. The findings will then be brought to the Planning
Commission, who will make a recommendation to the
City Council. These actions will be made at public hear-
ings, currently estimated to take place in late summer
through October.
The current timeline for the EIR process is estimated
at six months, which is subject to change based on the
number of public hearings the process requires.

Sea Rise | Lots of new impacts and expenses
FROM A1
will require all kinds of policy modifica-
tions to the Land Use Code, general Plan
and Local Coastal Plan. But complicating
planning is the uncertainty about the rate
the water will rise.
The city is using a number of models
looking out to 2100, though science is pro-
viding new projects almost daily.
The strategy boils down to three steps
– protect, accommodate, retreat. That is,
protect with levees those area where water
can be held back, particularly critical fa-
cilities such as the Wastewater Treatment
Plant. That will require significant invest-
ment. Accommodate with limited adapta-
tion for features that can’t be defended or
relocated. And finally, where defenses ar-
en’t feasible or affordable, retreat to high-
er ground inland.
One estimate holds that a $15 million
system of 18-foot eco-levees and sea walls
will preserve much of south Arcata. That
would protect public and private assets
conservatively valued at $141 million. “The
question mark is, for how long?” Loya said.
An integrated strategy is needed, and
that will include regulations on develop-
ment. Property owners may still invest in
coastally located facilities, but they’ll have
to factor in added expense for protection
while looking realistically at how long
those areas will be habitable and usable.
Developers in those areas may have to
sign conditions of approval for their proj-
ects which acknowledge the inevitability of
eventual abandonment.
Those who live, work or own property in
initial inundation areas such as south Ar-
cata, Sunny Brae, the Arcata Bottom and
the low-lying Bloomfield neighborhood
(elevation 13 feet) will be hit first, but all
of Arcata will be impacted since the town’s
sewage treatment is located along the bay.
“It doesn’t matter where you are in the
city. If you flush your toilet, and I suspect
many of you do, it’s coming down here,”
Loya said, pointing to the sewage plant.
“And so it’s everyone’s problem. It’s not
whether, but where we’re going to protect.
Let’s come up with an integrated strategy.”
Preparing for sea level rise pushes the
planning horizon to the year 2100, strain-
ing planners and projections far beyond
what is normally considered. Among the
M AD R IVER U NION
unknowns that will affect the rate of water
rise is how well greenhouse gas emissions
are controlled – a huge unknown.
As with variables, models abound. If,
worst case, the ice caps melt and Green-
land’s ice sheet slides into the ocean, all of
Arcata will be underwater. If by 2040, the
sea has risen by half a meter, Loya said,
all bets are off. “We’re in crisis mode,”
he said. “We’re going to be in emergency
management mode, not planning mode.”
More likely, and given 95 percent prob-
ability, is a gradual but significant rise of .8
meters by 2040. The higher nominal water
levels will make King Tides and 500-year
storms and make inevitable flooding along
South G Street several times per year.
Quite a bit of the shoreline is imperiled,
but with permanent flooding along parts of
the Arcata Bottom, new shoreline habitat
would also be created and can be planned
for. “We want to start thinking about target-
ing areas for habitat restoration,” Loya said.
Coordination with the Coastal Com-
mission has been problematic even during
normal planning scenarios, but Loya
said efforts at communication has been
stepped up. “We’ve been handing docu-
ments back and forth for two years now,”
he said. “We’re making progress.”
Loya said that the measures and mitiga-
tions required to combat the effects of sea
level rise are far beyond Arcata’s means,
and will require Arcata to compete for fi-
nancial aid from state and federal sources.
Planning Commissioner Melanie Mc-
Cavour said that Arcata’s efforts could
stand out statewide – and make Arcata
more competitive for funding – in a couple
of ways. One is by pursuing wetlands res-
toration in the newly created coastal areas.
She also pointed out that low-income
residents are likely to be hit hardest, at
least initially, by sea level rise. This be-
cause they inhabit areas of Arcata in most
immediate peril, such as South G Street
and Marsh District. “Most of the coastal
communities are very affluent. We have a
lot of people of color and of lower income
living in our coastal area,” she said.
Loya agreed, noting that those fleeing
climate change elsewhere could settle in
Arcata, causing gentrification and margin-
alization of the poor, which inclusion of a
strong social justice policy could address.

Stand down, Dollar General
Just what we DON’T need… A Dollar General “conve-
nience” store selling sugared products, canned and pro-
cessed foods, beer and the like. And, guess where this
store is to be located… Right across the street from the
McKinleyville High School. The store location also abuts
the Ocean West Senior Village whose residents will have to
deal with the impacts of such a store on a daily basis.
While there may be a few benefits to having a store like this
in our neighborhood, the negative effects will obviously out-
weigh the positive as has been proven in other neighborhoods.
The added traffic on the already very busy Murray Road,
the security lights from the store, the high potential for in-
creased crime in the area, the ever-present trash and lit-
ter that will accumulate, the associated noise, the safety of
the High School children crossing the street, and the many
other negatives that accompany this type of business make
this a very poor decision.
A new Dollar General (corporate) store may create a
half-dozen minimum wage jobs, but the negative eco-
nomic impact to existing competitors in the area can be
far-reaching, resulting in loss of business and ultimately
vacant buildings and blight in the community.
If you, too, are against such a store in our community,
let your elected officials know it. Remind them that they
work for you, and that you vote!

Please stop the Dollar General
Ocean West residents recently learned that Dollar Gen-
eral plans to build a convenience store on Murray Road and
McKinleyville Avenue across from McKinleyville High School.
Because the land is zoned Neighborhood Commercial,
we were told by County Supervisor Ryan Sundberg that
there is nothing the county can do to change the zoning or
stop the blight to our neighborhood. This kind of business
is totally incompatible with the neighborhood, selling al-
cohol at cost and providing a source of junk food for our
high school youth.
It is not the kind of business we want abutting our park,
causing increased traffic and the probability of litter and
increased crime. We are desperate for an answer to resolve
this. With no possibility of rezoning with current owner-
ship (Ocean West Holdings LLC Co), is there a local com-
pany willing to purchase the land and request rezoning or
other recourse? We must let Dollar General know this is
not the right place for them.

Protect our water supply
One of our most critical and essential resources that we
are blessed with in Humboldt County is sufficient clean
water. Such a resource should never be put in jeopardy.
There has been discussion of allowing potentially dan-
gerous industrial activity, including toxic chemicals, with-
in the flood plain of the Mad River watershed. The possi-
bility of someone or some LLC corporation being able to
endanger this vital community resource for individual or
corporate profit is reprehensible to local families.
When something goes wrong, as we have seen in so
many American communities in recent years, the LLC en-
tity will simply use the “LL”...Limited Liability...to walk
away from the problem and leave the clean-up catastrophe
and expenses to be picked up by the local community for
the corporation’s “mistake”.
Wouldn’t the real mistake be to let such an enterprise
begin its dangerous activity in the first place?
I will happily vote for Steve Madrone for 5th District Supervi-
sor on June 5, as he has my trust in protecting our water supply.
Robert Fornes

Let’s have respectful discussions
In the best of all possible Arcatas, which I often find Arca-
ta to be, there will be a plebiscite declaring that the electorate
has carefully and sensitively weighed the concerns of all and
chosen to support the decision by Arcata’s City Council to
correct the Plaza’s inaccurate portrayal of Arcata’s persona.
The council correctly judged that the citizens of Arcata and
surrounding communities are no longer willing to ignore
past atrocities and accept our continuing racial assumptions.
My first 25 years were in North Carolina, my last 47 in
California. I have learned it’s nigh impossible to grow up in
this country, perhaps in any country, without having judg-
ments clouded by racism.
“Implicit bias” is a helpful concept, especially to those of us
striving to overcome our own racism. We often need help to
perceive and counter our own persistent fears and snap judg-
ments. Failure to acknowledge and examine these realities
can prevent us from seeing injustices in our communities.
Recent reports on last year’s “voluntary manslaughter”
of David Josiah Lawson add urgency to the replacement of
the McKinley statue. We need public displays that encour-
age examination of our nuanced history and goad us to see
and correct continuing injustices.
I applaud Fhyre Phoenix (Mad River Union, April 25,
2018) for his catalog of the whys and the means of remov-
ing the statue. We can raise the necessary funds without
disturbing the city’s budget.
Some of us signed a petition to put this matter to a vote
in order to continue in-depth discussions of what we want
for our Plaza. Unfortunately, the petition has no options
for polling us on what we prefer done with the statue. That
has to be part of our continuing discussions.
Whatever is decided, whether we add more signage or
revert the Plaza to a gazebo with grazing cattle or portray
its use by the original inhabitants, I hope discussions will
involve all of us in respectful and reflective efforts to reach
a common understanding.

OPINION
A man of experience
Steve Madrone’s enthusiasm, expertise and dedication to
our natural resources are noteworthy.
After receiving a Master’s Degree in Watershed Manage-
ment from HSU, Steve continued his learning by consulting
and working with the Mattole Salmon Group (executive di-
rector), the Trinidad Bay Watershed Council, the California
Urban Creeks Council, and the National Network of Forest
Practitioners.
At Redwood Community Action Agency, where Steve was
the natural resources director, he was instrumental in mov-
ing forward the Hammond Trail from concept to reality.
In his years of working at these various agencies and or-
ganizations, Steve has brought about $20 million into our
economy.
While pursuing his passions, Steve earned recognition
and awards from the Salmonid Restoration Federation, the
Alliance for Sustainable Jobs and the Environment, and the
Humboldt Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Cur-
rently, Steve is a lecturer in Forestry and Watershed Man-
agement at HSU.
Madrone also served as councilman and mayor pro-tem
and on the Planning Commission in Blue Lake.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Madrone’s ac-
tivities is his consistent and diligent attention to political
decision making. His knowledge of the County’s General
Plan, the Coastal Commission decisions, the Harbor Com-
mission’s deliberations and McKinleyville’s activities is ex-
traordinary.
If you are interested in a representative that treasures our
land and water, will argue for a diversified economy with
small to moderate sized agricultural and business interests,
alternative energies and sustainable developments, I en-
courage you to vote for Steve Madrone; vote for a change.

Madrone, a better grade of wood
A lot can be learned by watching the debates, and we’ve
had a couple of good ones so far with the two candidates
for the Fifth District Board of Supervisors. Hearing how
Ryan Sundberg and Steve Madrone respond on the spot to
questions from the crowd has shown their ability to think
on their feet, and their convictions.
At the debate sponsored by the Humboldt Association of
Realtors Madrone was well versed and realistic in discuss-
ing the land use and economic issues confronting Hum-
boldt County. He wants to encourage innovative forms of
industry but also places great value in preserving the more
traditional jobs in timber. With his background in forestry
he considers timber to be one of our greatest assets, espe-
cially when managed intelligently.
His ideas about using carbon credits to incentivize leav-
ing trees in the ground longer and lengthen harvest cycles
would make for a more mature, higher quality redwood
product (and longer lasting decks).
Both timber and marijuana have shown how vulnerable
our county is to the “rape and run” tactics of outside op-
portunists. From Maxxam to Russian cartels, short term
extraction (and destroying) of natural resources has left
those of us who live here to deal with the consequences
and try to clean up the mess.
Having clear, consistent zoning and land use require-
ments for both small and large players (and significant
penalties for violators) would go a long way to leveling the
playing field and keeping the destiny of the health of our
county in the hands of the people who live here.
Steve Madrone is committed to this and would be a
great, common sense advocate for the wellbeing of the
people, economy and environment of our county. Check
him out for yourself at the May 10 debate on KEET.

Madrone the diligent
In the debate Monday between the candidates for Fifth
District Supervisor, Ryan Sundberg claimed that he never
supported the Mercer-Fraser marijuana refinery next to
our Mad River water supplies. But Mercer Fraser had the
permit request in by 2015, and it depended on exactly the
re-designation of the land that Ryan supported in the GPU
20 months later. What does this say about Ryan’s due dili-
gence before green lighting a project he didn’t want?
We will need better diligence to protect us from Mer-
cer-Fraser’s asphalt plant in Big Lagoon, which features
the same “butter crumb plant” that created a public health
nuisance near Outlet Creek in Mendocino, resulting in hefty
fines, partly because Mercer Fraser defied agency attempts
to abate it.
Steve Madrone specializes in looking at issues in depth,
keeping the interests of the whole community in mind rath-
er than “special interests” He has my vote.

Solutions, not Band-Aids
When we vote, a reasonable approach might be to con-
sider a bigger vision than just the candidate. What kind of
a world we want? With that in mind, I read Ken Miller’s
letter in the May 2 edition with dismay. Many, many of our
local problems appear to be self-made. Not from malice,
but from lack of vision.
We need access to good food, adequate shelter, useful
transportation and available healthcare. We have huge
but not insurmountable problems in all these categories.

v You simply must include your

They all boil down to planning. Our county needs to look
at long-term solutions to so-called “food deserts,” to un-
housed people, to poorly envisioned public transportation
and to lack of healthcare access for all.
A solid infrastructure supports everybody. That’s why
my vote for Fifth District supervisor will go to Steve Ma-
drone. I look forward to a future of solutions, not Band-
Aids.

Time for a change
I really want a supervisor who knows what it’s like for
people from all walks of life, not just the lucky ones. Per-
sonally, I’m much more impressed with Steve Madrone.
After reading more about him on his website I think Ma-
drone has had the kind of life, and done the kind of work,
that will lead to, propose and implement the sort of things
that will help our community, our families, and help our
children grow up safe, and be better people.
I like what Steve Madrone says about young people
needing more healthy activities and job training to prevent
drug and crime in our community. I have a young child
and I worry about all the trouble kids can get into these
days, especially because many parents can’t spend as much
time with them.
Teachers can’t deal with all these problems in the class-
rooms. That’s why we need more after school activities
that can help children with their social and emotional de-
velopment, to grow into productive members of society. It
really is time to make a change.
It really is time for a change!

Time for a change
Humboldt County, no stranger to boom and bust in-
dustrial abuse, is familiar with politicians who help their
friends to the detriment of resident taxpayers. Sadly, we
are in the throes of another cycle, this time accelerated by
the Board of Supervisors. Well connected cannabis inves-
tors are eager to reap the lion’s share of profits, while the
economic base of the county – the small, environmental-
ly-minded Mom and Pops – are hounded out of existence,
perhaps to the point of taking their homes away, by coun-
ty ordinances and regulations meant for the outrageous
grows.
These Mom and Pops are the ones who spend their
money locally, keeping businesses afloat, and are not re-
sponsible for the environmental damage that created the
need for strict regulation.
The county got it wrong and we pay the price. Mer-
cer-Frazer’s sweetheart deal, brokered, then backtracked,
by Supervisor Sundberg is just one example. However, the
Supes do face election from time to time, and this June we
can elect someone who does “get it” – Stephen Madrone.
Madrone approaches the environmental problem as
one of business, where incentives for good practices ele-
vate the responsible businesses above the abusive ones.
Madrone knows firsthand that sound public policy de-
pends on a commitment over the long term for community
health. His stellar work on behalf of our Mattole Salmon
these past years is just one of the gifts his firm, practiced
hand has given our local economy.
This year Chinook returned to the Mattole in record
numbers, the fruit of the life-long dedication by Madrone
and those who want this county to be the place our chil-
dren and grandchildren proudly call “home.”

Fighting for affordable housing
On April 23, several locals from Humboldt County joined
Mateo Rebecchi, an organizer for MHAction, a grass roots
organization of manufactured homeowners aimed at fight-
ing for housing affordability, at a protest in Sacramento to
lend their voices to the others there who had come from all
over the state of California to demand the repeal of Costa
Hawkins Act so that The Affordable Housing Act can be
put on the upcoming November California elections ballot.
Just after 3 1/2 months of talking to their neighbors,
going door to door, activists from all over California that
want to repeal Costa Hawkins Rental Act were able to
gather 588,000 signatures which will enable The Afford-
able Housing Act to be put on the state ballot in November.
The marchers first went to the California Association of
Realtors building where they chanted, “Fight, Fight! Hous-
ing Is A Human Right!”
Then they marched to the Capitol where they carried
signs saying, “Costa Hawkins Has To GO!” and many oth-
ers that stressed the importance of affordable housing.
Many of the protesters spoke to the crowd of hundreds
who came from all walks of life, and were of all ages, and
included many different ethnic groups. One woman said
that she used to live in Elk Horn but had to move after her
rent went up and was then forced to move into a crime-rid-
den neighborhood.
Richmond City Council Member Melvin Willis said,
“This is a way to ensure that families have a way to be pro-
tected against high rents regardless of when the building
they’re living in was built.”
Nancy Mohney said, “People need a secure and safe
place to call home especially those who are most vulner-
able to rent increases such as the elderly who live on fixed
incomes.”
My hope is that every state will get on board with sim-
ilar initiatives and stop their corporate landlords from
charging sky high rents too.
Let us as Americans and residents of Humboldt County
exercise our rights to better our quality of life with afford-
able housing that we all have the right to enjoy!

HUMBOLDT – Coun-

porting a recent spike in
HIV cases after an unusual
number of infections were

of the cases are believed to
be related.
Additionally, there has

are treatable, but they have
to be diagnosed first and

them was the first collaboration between
the Eureka Symphony and Burleson. She
said it was great to work with the sym-
phony then and that she’s “very excited to
have this opportunity to add color and im-
ages to their beautiful music.”
Cherubini, the composer that Beetho-
ven called “the greatest” of his contem-
poraries, was influenced by the social and
political issues of his day.
This Requiem in C minor was contro-
versial because of its inclusion of women’s
voices.
While this piece was commissioned to
honor the memory of Louis XVI, it is ironic
that Cherubini also conducted the celebra-
tory music at the beheading of Louis XVI
20 years earlier.
