leyville has been mostly mum regarding its
namesake.
But at a May 30 meeting of the McKin-
leyville Municipal Advisory Committee Where the horses have the right of Way
(McKMAC), resident Linda Evans suggest-
ed that the town change its name.
Evans suggested to the committee that
McKinleyville’s name be changed to a Na-
tive American name. In an interview, Evans
said that local tribes should be consulted
and have a say in changing the town’s name.
Some opponents of the McKinley statue
in Arcata have portrayed the 25th president
as a racist, a symbol of white supremacy and
a symbol of the Native American genocide.
Although Evans didn’t bring up racism as
a reason for changing the town’s name, she
said “I think it certainly would be on some
people’s minds.”
“I never really saw the relevance of hav-
ing that [McKinleyville] be the name of the
community,” Evans said.
McKinley never visited the North Coast
and has no connection to the area.
According to the website of the McKin-
leyville Community Services District, the
town was called Dow’s Prairie by white set-
tlers. Isaac Minor came to town and built a
store and a lodge. After William McKinley
became president in 1897, townsfolk decid-
ed to call the place McKinleyville.
Then they had a change of heart and de-
cided to call it Minorville, after Isaac Minor.
Then, when McKinley was assassinated in
1901, they decided to go back to calling it
McKinleyville.

Supervisors urged to fund transitional housing

HUMBOLDT – Requests for funding outpatient addic-
tion treatment and transitional housing services have been
well-received by Humboldt County supervisors.
At their May 22 meeting, supervisors considered a letter
from the county’s Behavioral Health Board that requests
support for continuum of care – the step-by-step series of
services leading to addiction recovery – and funding for
the final phases of it, outpatient treatment and transitional
housing.
Marguerite Story-Baker, a McKinleyville resident and
member of the Behavioral Health Board, described addic-
tion recovery as “a very painful and grinding process” that
“can’t be accomplished in a short term or piecemeal way.”
“It’s been proven statistically that longer treatment
periods followed by sober living environments equate to
more clients having permanent recovery,” she continued.
“Most clients in the public drug and alcohol system can-
not go home immediately because their living situations
— or lack thereof — contain so many triggers to drink or
use again.”
State-level changes in Medi-Cal funding will expand
opportunities for outpatient/transitional living services
and the Behavioral Health Board’s letter encourages the
county to pursue them and to provide funding from its
own budget.
Behavioral Health Boardmember Art Wilson co-manag-
es the McKinleyville-based AJ’s Transitional Living facili-
ty, which uses the 12-step program approach to alcoholism
recovery and assists clients with transportation and gain-
ing employment.

OPENING WEEKEND
Crabs 1, Knights 1, Lights 1
Erik Fraser
Humboldt Crabs
ARCATA – Through 12
innings on opening week-
end, the Crabs were on a
roll. They beat the visiting
Corvallis Knights 6-2 on
Friday night, and built an
early 6-0 lead on Saturday.
And then they lost pow-
er. Literally.
Dusk had begun to fall
over the Arcata Ball Park
as the Crabs put together a
3-run rally in the third in-
ning, but the lights failed to
come on. Play was halted,
and about 15 minutes later,
it was announced that the
game could not continue.
On Sunday, the sun pro-
vided ample light, but the
Crabs’ power didn’t come
back, and they dropped the
series finale 5-0.

All in all, while the re-
sults were mixed, manager
Robin Guiver was pleased
with what he’s seen in the
early going.
“It was a good week-
end, getting a split with
the Knights is not a terrible
outcome,” he said. “Obvi-
ously we’d like to win the
series. They pitched really
well (Sunday), we made a
couple of errors. We had
opportunities, we had run-
ners at second and third
with one out, bases loaded
with one out in the fifth
and sixth, and didn’t get
any runs out of it, and you
don’t win ball games when
you do that, but I’m feeling
good about the squad after
the opening weekend.”
Guiver tapped Alex
Pham to be the game one

“He started last year

And the umps get grad-

say they are probably their
own toughest critics. “After
every game, we look at each
other and say, ‘What do you
got for me?” Cowan said.
They may be self-critical
but they won’t even discuss
how much they are paid.
“Let’s not talk about the
pay,” Hofacker said. “The
pay is insignificant. It’s a la-
bor of love. If you are doing
it for the pay, you shouldn’t
be doing it. You are doing it
for the kids, whether they
are 5 years old or 30.”
It’s clearly a labor of love

but also are all about the
players--they are all family
men. Hofacker’s daughter,
Nicole “coached volleyball
and softball in Hoopa.” He’s
got two grandsons. Cowan’s
son, Caden is 21. “He played
baseball,” Cowan explained.
“He’s the reason I umpired.
I was a terrible fan.”
And the connections
go deep, as they often do
in our neck of the woods.
Yslas was a catcher at Del
Norte High and College of
the Redwoods. Hofacker
umpired when Yslas was
catching. All the umps talk-
ed about their relationships
with that position.
“For three hours, he’s
your best friend,” Hofacker
said. “I thanked both catch-
ers from last night,” Cowan
Yslas talked about how
umps act when a catcher
gets hit. “We take our time,
if the catcher gets hurt. We
dust off the plate. We walk
slowly out to the pitcher
and offer him a choice of
balls and walk slowly back,
to give the catcher some
time.”
“You see some great
catchers,” Hofacker said.

They pretty much agreed
on their least favorite thing
about umpiring: peo-

Cowan added that the most
terrifying thing about the
job is to “watch a line drive

the council meeting, in-
clude reduction of the proj-
ect from four 4-story build-
ings to three 35 foot tall
2-story buildings and two
45 foot tall 3-story build-
ings totaling 152 units.
Though there are now
five residential buildings,
the total number of build-
ings actually remains the
same. A community build-
ing was eliminated, and its
functions moved into one of
the residence halls.
Parking has been in-
creased from 369 spaces to
408 spaces. Another new
wrinkle is a proposal for the
city to vacate a portion of St.
Louis Road on the project’s
east side so that The Village
can be moved farther away
from Westwood-area resi-
dents on the west side and
parking added.
From the staff report: “In
order to minimize viewshed
impacts from the west, the
applicant has designed the
project so that the build-
ings will be located as far to
the east of the site as pos-
sible. The vacation of this
portion of the road will ac-
commodate this position of
the buildings while keeping
enough distance from the
highway to minimize noise
impacts. Furthermore, the
vacation will allow the de-
veloper to build a portion
of the Rail with Trail and to
provide parking for both the
project and the public.”
Also, from the staff re-
port: “The project has many
design features developed
in coordination with City
staff to ensure the project
reflects the City’s sustain-
able building practices.
“First, it is an infill develop-
ment of significant scale. The
proposed development will oc-
cur on an underutilized indus-
trial site and will convert an in-
dustrial site into a residential
site to match the existing resi-
dential areas that surround it.
Second, it has planned many
features to promote alterna-
tive transportation. The proj-
ect will have a minimum of
185 indoor and outdoor bicy-
cle spaces (as indicated on the
original plan set) to securely
store residents’ bicycles. The
Applicant intends to partner
with a car-sharing firm such
as Zipcar.
“Finally, the project will add
a bus stop and trail connectivi-
ty between the project and the
rail with trail and Maple Lane.
All of these designed features
will shift transportation choic-
es away from single-occupancy
cars towards alternative and
ride share options.
“Furthermore, the Appli-
cant is committed to certify-
ing the project to the LEED
silver standard. LEED
stands for Leadership in
Energy and Environmental
Design and is a national cer-
tification system developed
by the U.S. Green Building
Council to encourage the
construction of energy and
resource-efficient buildings
that are healthy to live in
terms of water and energy
usage, construction and in-
terior materials, and indoor
environmental quality. The
LEED silver components
include brownfield redevel-
opment, the use of domestic
and landscape water and en-
ergy efficient fixtures, diver-
sion of construction waste,
use of recycled and/or re-
gionally-sourced materials
and many other measures.
“Finally, the project will
install solar photo-voltaic
panels on building roofs to
produce clean renewable
energy on the site. The ap-
plicant would like the Coun-
cil to consider the redesign
as a possible reduced project
alternative identified in the
EIR. Staff is currently evalu-
ating for its consistency with
the EIR and will provide an
update in its oral presenta-
tion. The revised project is
in the Residential Medium
Density range. The action
documents (Action, reso-
lutions, and ordinances)
would have to be updated to
reflect the reduced density
of the redesigned project.”
No images were available
for the redesigned project
at press time.
ACRH was under-
whelmed by the project re-
visions.
“Basically, AMCAL’s new
proposal isn’t that differ-
ent than the old one,” said
ACRH President Erik Jules.
“It’s slightly reduced in
terms of the number or beds,
but that doesn’t solve most
of the problems associated
with their plan. They barely
increased parking, the solar
panels were already part
of their discussion months
ago, and so was the LEED
certification. To try to make
this sound like a redesigned
project is suspect at best.”
Continued Jules, “A
smaller version of a bad
idea is still a bad idea. AM-
CAL’s scam to hurt Arcata
taxpayers and breaks up
our inclusive community is
still a scam.”

He told supervisors that
it costs AJ’s about $500 a
month per client and gen-

$300 of it. “So there’s a
huge gap there,” he said.
“We’re asking the Board

and “come straight off the
streets,” Wilson said. “We
get the people that every-
one else throws away — but
these people succeed.”
“There’s a big difference
between AJ’s in McKin-
leyville and a lot of (tran-
sitional living) houses in
Eureka,” said one resident
of AJ’s. “They give you
enough time and it’s a lov-
ing environment — other
places don’t offer that.”
Another man said living
at AJ’s has prevented a re-
turn to alcoholism. “With-
out a place that’s safe, clean
— and morally clean — I
would be drinking again, I
know it,” he continued.
A woman who’s been
living at AJ’s for two-and-
a-half years – almost ever
since it opened – said her
life has steadily improved
and now she’s on a waiting
list for permanent housing.
“They have given rides to
me, I go to AA meetings ev-
ery day and I have learned
how to live clean and sober
and mentally stable,” she
continued.
Supervisors acknowl-
edged the importance of
transitional living assis-
tance. “Certainly the mes-
sage was received,” said
Supervisor Mike Wilson.
“I’m sure the board will
consume that information
as we deliberate on our
budget.”
“We do have an issue
with a funding gap for tran-
sitional living (houses) and
some of them are close to
going out of business,” said
Board Chair Ryan Sund-
berg. “That’s 10 to 20 peo-
ple who have a safe, clean
place to heal themselves
that are going to be back
on the streets and probably
breaking into cars — all of
the issues that we deal with
on a day to day basis.”
He added that “figuring
out how to support them is
going to be very important
in our upcoming budget
and I’m looking forward to
that conversation.”

Dear Peter:
I attended last week’s staff meet-
ing as a long-time KHSU volunteer,
underwriter, sustaining member, for-
mer CAB Chair, and member of your
hiring committee who, like many oth-
ers in our community, was stunned
by Katie Whiteside’s sudden firing. I
chose to stay silent because, not want-
ing to pre-judge, I was hoping as far
as possible to learn more about the
facts of the case, take the temperature
of the room, and get a better feel for
the concerns and reactions of the var-
ious parties affected.
I’m sure you’ll agree that there
was plenty of heat at that meeting
and not much light, with the nota-
ble exception of several of the staff.
I was certainly not enlightened — or

Indeed: I can’t think of anyone
more selflessly devoted to KHSU and
to the ideals of public radio than Ka-
tie. It’s only a very slight exaggera-
tion to say that there have been times
over the past two decades when, with
no general manager in place and a
dearth of support from the university,
she has almost single-handedly held
the place together. She has an insti-
tutional memory longer than anyone
else at the station and a broad under-
standing of its operations.
For many in the community, in-
cluding many faculty, volunteers, lo-
cal leaders, and KHSU underwriters,
she is the station’s voice and face and
primary point of contact. Your an-
nouncement of Katie’s dismissal —
with barely a single line of boilerplate
acknowledging her career achieve-
ments and her importance to KHSU
— didn’t just show a tin ear, then,
it delivered a kick in the teeth. To
damn her with such faint praise was
a shabby way to treat someone who
has served KHSU so long, so well, and
with so much heart.

I also produce School Days.
I began volunteering with KHSU
while a student at HSU. I was student
news director while earning my BA in
Speech Communication with a minor
in Broadcast Journalism, graduat-
ing summa cum laude and selected
as Senior Woman of the Year. While
an undergraduate I helped produce a
morning news show on KRFH and an
afternoon news show on KHSU; and I
produced, with Professor Bryan Wha-
ley, a show called Agrinews, also on
KHSU. I worked, too, for KHSU in a
part-time paid position. I began pro-
ducing School Days just ahead of tak-
ing on the master’s program in school

impressed — by your accounting for
your actions, or by Craig’s. But I left
thoroughly convinced that you have
made a grave mistake and done a ter-
rible injury to KHSU. I feel strongly
that you should walk this back, clear
the air, and — if you ever hope to re-
gain the trust of your staff and volun-
teers — renew your commitment not
only to the “mission-based” manage-
ment approach that you profess, but
to a genuinely collaborative and con-
sultative approach based on the mod-
el of shared governance.
I’ve served on enough personnel
committees to know that things can be
more complicated behind the scenes
than they might appear to an outside
spectator. I also understand that the
job of a General Manager is to manage.
That said, I don’t believe for a minute
that you had “no other option” than to
fire Katie, let alone to fire her as you
did. On a purely procedural level, as
the Sponsored Programs Foundation
personnel manual makes clear, you
had the option of giving her the cour-
tesy of two weeks’ notice. The fact that
you didn’t gives the impression that
removing her was a pressing matter
requiring both secrecy and surprise —
that it involved some heinous crime,
egregious dereliction of duty, or gross
insubordination for which she could
never make amends.
It doesn’t help that you are not re-
quired to disclose, to Katie or anyone
else, whether she was even dismissed
for cause; among other things, that’s a
reminder of just how few protections
Foundation employees enjoy, and it
effectively means that she was fired
at whim (which signals to the rest
of your staff that they should all be
looking over their shoulders). It also
means that the reputation of someone
who has served KHSU not just faith-
fully but extraordinarily for 20-plus
years is now under a cloud.
But never mind the murder meth-
od: if there was nothing urgent or ir-
remediable at stake here, then why in
the world would you take out Katie
Whiteside at all? If there was a small-
er issue — even a chronic one — with
Katie’s performance, or a misunder-
Your staff are now angry, fearful,
and demoralized; a large cross-sec-
tion of volunteers — and not just those
you might regard as the “usual sus-
pects” — is outraged; and as the news
travels to more and more underwrit-
ers and listener-members, they are
bewildered and distraught. You can’t
afford to alienate these constituencies
without doing grievous harm to the
station, and you truly can’t afford to
lose Katie Whiteside, especially not
at such a critical juncture in KHSU’s
history. With a growing deficit, an im-
minent fund drive, and an impending
move, you’ve thrown the station into
crisis. I urge you to reverse this ill-ad-
vised decision.

The incomparable
Katie Whiteside
Dear Lisa, Craig and CAB board
members:
I attended and spoke at Wednesday
night’s KHSU Community Advisory
Board (CAB) meeting. I know that,
following testimony at that meeting,
the CAB board committed to bring-
ing the issue of Katie’s inhumane fir-
ing to those in positions of power at
the university. I know, too, that Peter
had told at least one person ahead of
the meeting that nothing was going
to change. I watched him take notes,
maybe as a way of buffering himself
from the comments that sometimes
were blatantly angry and directly tar-
geting him. Maybe he took notes from
which to figure out how to respond.
Many comments directed toward
Peter were hopeful and aimed at en-
couraging him to back out his de-
cision. Many community members
and volunteers who have rescinded
sustaining memberships offered to
double them if Katie is brought back.
Others suggested the environment is
too toxic to wish that on Katie. In any
case, there is a problem. I would sur-

Trinidad City Council
The Trinidad City Council held its
annual budget meeting last Tuesday
in the Town Hall. Only three commu-
nity members were in the audience.
If you care about where the city
finds, and spends, the money to run
the water system, public safety, open
space and trail maintenance, storm
water projects, building repairs, and
more, and to pay its staff, it is a good
idea to pay attention to how a lit-
tle municipality operates. The City
Council and the City Staff work hard
to try to please everyone and hard
choices have to be made. It is a tough
job. The next City Council meeting
will be held on Thursday, June 14
(Flag Day), at 6 p.m. in the Town Hall.
Coming July 2 to Town Hall
Steve Polz is coming to Trinidad
Town Hall on Monday, July 2. The
Lighthouse Grill is sponsoring the
event, which will include a barbecue
and show with doors open at 5:30
p.m.
Folk singer, song writer, storytell-
er and comedian Steve Poltz is an in-
ternationally recognized artist, well
known for his collaboration with Jew-
el as they co-wrote her first big hit,
You Were Meant For Me. Steve’s solo
career has been busy and successful,
as he tours the USA, Canada and Aus-
tralia, playing over 260 shows a year.
Tickets are available at The Light-
house Grill or at https://poltz.com.
Advance sales for the show are $20
and $10 for the barbecue.
If you purchase tickets at the door,
admission is $25 for the show or $13
for the meal. Ten percent of sales will
be donated to the Trinidad Memorial
Lighthouse Fund. Email sherryvan-
