BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

County may fund ‘Village’ morphs, opposition adapts

effort to combat
sex trafficking
Daniel Mintz
Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT – A proposal to fund re-
search and education on sex trafficking will
be part of the Board of Supervisors’ upcom-
ing budget deliberations.
The increasingly talked-about issue of
human trafficking was discussed at the June
5 Board of Supervisors meeting as a draft of
the budget for the fiscal year beginning July
1 was presented.
During a public comment session, Lele-
henia Du Bois, who chairs the Human Traf-
ficking Committee of the county’s Human
Rights Commission, requested $21,000 for
a fund that would be managed by the Hum-
boldt Area Foundation.
The funding would be used for gathering
information and advancing education about
local sex trafficking. She proposed the coun-
ty’s cannabis excise tax revenue as a fund-
ing source.
Du Bois said that “Humboldt has a unique
issue for being the epicenter of the drug
war” and lacks “effective information” on
human trafficking. Research and education
that’s “based on our unique circumstances
in Humboldt” is needed, she continued.
Du Bois read a letter from a former Hum-
boldt State University student who has or-
ganized gatherings of local agencies that
address “intimate partner violence.”
The letter states that during the July
2017 gathering, “The main conversations at
the roundtable were about sex trafficking in
Humboldt County.” The agencies field “fre-
quent calls” asking for help and due to lack
of resources, are “at a loss for ways to ad-
dress the issue.”
The letter details the results of research
on the prevalence of sex trafficking: From
last October to November, there were 697
hotline calls to Humboldt Domestic Vio-
lence Services and 85 of them were from
“survivors of sex trafficking,” a 15 percent
increase from the previous year.
Seventy-two of the calls represented “on-
going sex trafficking cases.”

tral Valley commune that takes a spiritual

tion, related her childhood experience of

housing project.
The project introduced to
the council was heavily re-

vised from the proposal the
Planning Commission had
not approved. Along with
physical changes to the build-
ings and layout, the opera-
tional paradigm shifted as
well, with Humboldt State
University announcing a
partnership with the develop-
ers under which the universi-
ty would manage The Village.

ed to ameliorate shortcom-

that the City Council is
considering represents
the third version and
the second significant
revision. The project has
gone from four three-sto-
ry buildings housing 800
students to five buildings
– three 2-story and two
3-story – housing 602
students. The project has
been moved eastward
away from Maple Lane

ings highlighted by critics.
Changes include:
• Capacity has been reduced
from 700 (originally 800) to 602
students.
• The number of housing units
has been reduced from 240 to 152.
• The project now consists of
five buildings rather than four.
• Three of the buildings have
been reduced to two stories 35
feet in height. These are now lo-
cated on the western side of the
11.3 acre Craftsmans Mall site fac-
ing the Westwood neighborhood.
• The building parallel to Ma-
ple Lane has been moved east-
ward some 230 feet away from
that Westwood street.
• The two 3-story, 45 foot tall
buildings are located on the east
side, facing U.S. Highway 101.
• The housing units have been
redesigned as mostly 3- and
4-bedroom units with a kitchen
and living area. Also included are
study rooms, Internet cafés, mul-
timedia presentation rooms and
outside, a community garden.
• Parking has been increased
from 366 to 409 spaces.
• There will also be 185 indoor
bike parking spaces and 12 EV
charging stations, plus a bus stop
and trail connectivity. The trail
will require partial vacation by
the city of part of St. Louis Road.
• The project would now be
managed and supported by Hum-
boldt State University – including
service from HSU Police – as part
of a partnership agreement.
The partnership was an-
nounced in a letter by Humboldt
State President Lisa Rossbacher.

Town grapples with best way to provide services, control its destiny

MCKINLEYVILLE – An influential McKinleyville com-
mittee is seeking funding from the county as well as clarifi-
cation regarding its legal authority.
The five-year-old McKinleyville Municipal Advisory
Committee (McKMAC) voted unanimously at its May 30
meeting to authorize its chair, John Corbett, to send a let-
ter to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors asking
for some money to fund the committee’s work.
Part of that letter, Corbett said, will have to educate su-
pervisors about McKinleyville‘s unique situation and why
this committee plays an important part in the town’s gov-
ernance.
City services in a non-city
As an unincorporated community, McKinleyville
doesn’t have a city government, despite having
more than 15,000 residents and a bustling com-
mercial district.
Services that would typically be provided by a
city government are instead divvied up between
the McKinleyville Community Services District
(MCSD) and the County of Humboldt.
The MCSD, which is controlled by a locally elect-
ed, five-member board, provides sewer, water, John
streetlights, open space maintenance, parks and
recreation in McKinleyville.
The County of Humboldt provides road maintenance,
drainage, planning services and police protection for
McKinleyville. The county is overseen by the 5-member
Board of Supervisors, with one of its members elected by
the Fifth District, of which McKinleyville is a part. That
leaves McKinleyville with ballot-box influence
over only one out of five of the supervisors
who get to make planning decisions and de-
cide how much is spent in Mack Town.
In order to give McKinleyville a way to pro-
vide more input and help influence county
services, the Board of Supervisors, led by Fifth
District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg, created
Corbett the McKMAC in 2012.
Although it’s only an advisory committee,
the McKMAC has been influential. It urged the Board of
Supervisors to put Measure Z on the ballot. The sales tax
measure passed and now funds more law enforcement of-
ficers and other public safety positions throughout Hum-
boldt County, including in Mack Town. The committee

McKMAC | ‘We’re around for the long haul’

FROM A1
participated in the design of
the Central Avenue Pedes-
trian Improvement Project
and weighs in on a variety
of issues.
Asking for money
One of the problems with
asking for money, Corbett
said, is that supervisors,
other than the Fifth Dis-
trict representative, don’t
understand McKinleyville’s
unique governance.
“They know McKin-
leyville exists, but that’s
about it,” he said of the
supervisors. “They don’t
know what McKinleyville
is. They’re shocked at the
size. They’re shocked at the
number of services.”
Corbett said that in his
experience, supervisors
may be reluctant to give
McKinleyville something
out of a concern that other
Humboldt County com-
munities will then want
the same thing. That view,
however, fails to recognize
the town’s uniqueness.
“Our number one po-
litical problem is how do
we define McKinleyville as

doesn’t have to be replicat-

committee at its May 30
meeting.
One example is the dif-
ference between McKin-
leyville and the unincorpo-
rated Cutten area outside
Eureka. The Board of Su-
pervisors created munici-
pal advisory committees in
both communities.
While the McKinleyville
committee has met fairly
regularly over the past five
years, the Greater Eureka
Area Municipal Adviso-
ry Committee (GEAMAC)
only met a few times and
has been inactive for years.

plans to disband the GEA-

yet-to-be-defined duties.
According to Corbett, when
the McKinleyville Commu-
nity Plan was adopted in
2001, the county budgeted
about $3,000 a year for the
McKMAC, which was called
for in the general plan. The
committee, however, was
not created until 2012, 11
years after the general plan
was approved.
Corbett said he’s point-
ing out this old budget item
to show that the county
originally intended to fund
the committee.
McKMAC member Kev-
in Jenkins emphasized the
importance of the commit-
tee and its funding.
“The bottom line is this
is a needed and neces-
sary part of... creating a
functional community in
McKinleyville,” Jenkins
said. “This was created by
the Board of Supervisors.
This is a well-used, request-
ed service that the com-
munity wants to see from
their government... They
created this. The communi-
ty respects and utilizes this
organization. The county
needs to come up with the
funding to support it. End
of story.”
Review of authority
The McKMAC is also
working on clarifying what
it is allowed to do under
the rules created by the
county.
The committee
charged with gathering
is
community input and pro-
vide advice on services
provided to McKinleyville
to the county and other
governmental agencies.
The committee can ad-
dress issues related to pub-
lic health and safety, pub-
lic works, public financing
and annexations in McKin-
leyville,
The rules establishing
the committee also lim-
it what it can discuss and
comment on. The McKMAC
is not allowed to discuss
countywide issues unless
they have a “localized im-
pact” on McKinleyville.
When it comes to plan-
ning, the committee can
weigh in on zoning amend-
ments and general plan
amendments in McKin-
leyville. However, the com-
mittee is not allowed to
offer an opinion on subdivi-
sions, conditional use per-
mits and variances.
The most common way people
give up their power is by
thinking they don’t have any.

Corbett, who is an at-
torney, said he wants to
approve a list of questions
so it can clarify what the
committee can and cannot
do. This may help reduce
clashes between committee
members as to what agenda
items are allowed.
Once the committee
has a full understanding of
what it can and cannot do,
it always has the option of
asking the Board of Super-
visors to amend the rules to
accommodate the commit-
tee’s wishes.
Corbett said he’d like to
wrap up the questions and
send them off within the
next 60 days or so.

HUMBOLDT CRABS
Crabs sweep weekend series from over-matched Valley Bears
Richard LaPreziosa
Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – Friday night at the Arcata Ballpark
before the Crabs opened their weekend series, the
players and fans didn’t seem to know much about the
competition, Fresno’s Valley Bears. Bears manager
Cesar Ortega had traveled to Arcata bringing just 11
players - three of whom are still high school students.
Crabs outfielder Otis Statum was looking forward
to the series as an opportunity to break out of an early
season hitting slump. The Bears, thin on relief pitch-
ing as well as bench players, would hopefully provide
a slump-busting opportunity.
On the mound for the Crabs Friday night was Alex
Pham, who showed command of his pitches with a
dominating performance striking out 15, walking

matt Filar | Union For the Bears the lone bright spot was Russell Mc-
Clung, who sent a Pham fastball over the left field
fence which bounced on the median on U.S. Highway
101 over the northbound lanes and into the bushes.
The usually world-class heckling Crabs faithful gave
their due to McClung with applause as he rounded
the bases. To say he was excited would be an under-
statement.
“They even rang the home run bell for me” he said,
adding that he loves the fans here. McClung would
later look for his homer ball on the shoulder of the
freeway, but to no avail. No one knew Friday night
that his one run shot would account for the total run
count of the entire weekend for the Bears.
Pham, as well as the rest of the Crabs, looked sharp
and there’s no telling if he could have pitched a full
nine innings because in the bottom of the seventh
inning it started raining. The pitcher for the Bears
started having control issues as he was slipping off

He described The Village as “a

Night two
Thursday night’s meeting was
intended for ACRH to weigh in,
and for the council to do its due
diligence in scoping the project.
During disclosure of ex parte
communications, Councilmem-
ber Susan Ornelas likened the
project to the old Colony Inn,
which she said people remember
as a “nightmare.”
“That weighs on me,” Ornelas
said. Other councilmembers dis-
closed their conversations about
the project without qualitative
comment on its merits.
Public comment was largely
dominated by opponents. ACRH
had urged the public to weigh in,
and had provided talking points.
ACRH attorney Chip Wilkins
said the two-minute limit on com-
ments was unfair to citizens, since
the developer had unlimited time
to speak. He urged the council to
reject the proposal.
HSU student Chante Catt said the
project is needed to address student
homelessness and reduce exploita-
tion by landlords on the open mar-
ket. “Our students are suffering,”
she said. “We need this project.”

nature of discussions between the

ment, neighborhood disruption,
capital flight from Arcata from
rents being sent elsewhere, the
late notice of changes to the proj-
ect and of HSU’s new partnership,
negative effects on the communi-
ty and on rental markets from a
“student ghetto,” the “inevitable
bleedover” of parking into adja-
cent neighborhoods, incompat-
ibility with area neighborhoods,
the potential for obnoxious party-
ing by students, demands on city
services, and more.
Former mayor Connie Stewart
said infill projects like The Village
are necessary in order to protect
the Western Greenbelt from de-
velopment.
“We can do so much better than
this project,” said ACRH Co-Di-
rector Julie Vaissade-Elcock. She
said abundant local design talent
should be utilized to create a su-
perior project.
The City Council will tour the
project site on June 19. That will
be a public meeting.

night, Wednesday, June 13 at 6

Sewage infiltration reduction BL Rancheria, HSCO ink deputization pact

project gets started Monday
City of ArCAtA
ARCATA – The City of Arcata
announced last week that the 2018
Sanitary Sewer Infiltration Reduc-
tion Project will begin on Monday,
June 18.
The City of Arcata has contracted
with G.R. Sundberg Construction,
Inc., for this project that involves the
replacement and/or rehabilitation
of existing sewer lines to eliminate
water intrusion into the city’s sew-
er collection system due to storm
events and high ground water.
The 2018 Sanitary Sewer Infil-
tration Reduction Project has been
a long term goal for the City of Ar-
cata as it is vital to maintaining Ar-
cata’s core infrastructure. The city
is thrilled to begin making these
improvements for our community.
Upon completion, this project
will reduce the amount of wastewa-
ter that is processed through Arca-
ta’s wastewater treatment facility
greatly reducing the possibility of
sanitary sewer overflows and low-
ering operating costs.
Construction for this project is
scheduled to begin on Monday,
June 18 and should be completed
by Fall 2019.
Due to the work required for this
project, neighborhood residents in
construction zones may experience
brief sewer and water service in-
terruptions. The City of Arcata will
notify effected residents by mail in
advance of these interruptions.
Property owners, businesses
and tenants serviced by the sewer
mains selected for rehabilitation
will also be notified 72 hours in
advance regarding sewer and wa-
ter service interruptions via a city
door-hanger notice. It is antici-
pated that neighborhood residents
effected will have only two service
interruptions through the duration
of this project.
The City of Arcata apologizes for
any inconvenience that this pro-
ject may cause to neighborhood
residents, and thanks community
members in advance for their co-
operation. On the days of sched-
uled work, community members
are advised to follow all directions
and traffic control devices within
the construction area.

ject, visit cityofarcata.org. If prob-
lems are encountered with this pro-
ject, please contact G.R. Sundberg

Humboldt County SHeriff’S offiCe
BLUE LAKE – Sheriff William F. Honsal is
pleased to announce that the Humboldt County
Sheriff’s Office has entered into a deputization
agreement with the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe.
This agreement further strengthens the ties
between the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe and the
County of Humboldt, allowing for better coverage
and efficiency in public safety services within the
Rancheria and surrounding areas.
“This agreement has been years in the making
and I’m very happy with the outcome,” Sheriff
William “Billyu” Honsal said. “The deputization
of Blue Lake Tribal Police officers is a crucial step
forward to providing Humboldt County residents
on and off the Rancheria with the public safety
services they deserve. The tribal officers, being
aware of the unique cultural issues of the Ranche-
ria, will help us better serve the community and
increase public safety as a whole.”
Prior to the agreement, the Blue Lake Tribal
Police Department was federally commissioned,
meaning officers could enforce federal law but not
California law. According to Tribal Police Chief
Floyd Stokes, this stipulation seriously limited the
public safety services the department was able to
provide and the justice the community received.
“A lot of crimes that occur on tribal properties
are better handled through California courts than
federal courts,” Chief Stokes said. “We can’t do
our business well enough unless we have access to
California courts and we don’t have access unless
we are California peace officers.”
The Blue Lake Rancheria joins the Yurok and
Hoopa Tribes, who also have deputization agree-
ments with the Sheriff. Federally recognized trib-
al peace officers, who have graduated a state po-

Honsal and Chief

lice academy and have completed the 720-hour
field-training program with the Sheriff’s Office,
will have the power to enforce California law on
and off tribal lands under the deputization agree-
ment. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office will
supervise tribal officers during the course of in-
vestigating state crimes. Deputized tribal officers
will be distinctively recognized by wearing a dep-
uty sheriff badge and one Humboldt County Sher-
iff’s Office shoulder patch.
“Deputization with the Sheriff’s Office is abso-
lutely vital for us to run a full service police de-
partment,” Chief Stokes said. “The whole objec-
tive is for us to be able to assist the Sheriff’s Office
if they have a need and for us to handle a criminal
activity on the Rancheria as it occurs.”
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office looks
forward to this partnership with the Blue Lake
Rancheria Tribe and thanks the Tribal Police De-
partment for their dedication to meet deputiza-
tion standards.

Sewage infiltration reduction BL Rancheria, HSCO ink deputization pact

project gets started Monday
City of ArCAtA
ARCATA – The City of Arcata
announced last week that the 2018
Sanitary Sewer Infiltration Reduc-
tion Project will begin on Monday,
June 18.
The City of Arcata has contracted
with G.R. Sundberg Construction,
Inc., for this project that involves the
replacement and/or rehabilitation
of existing sewer lines to eliminate
water intrusion into the city’s sew-
er collection system due to storm
events and high ground water.
The 2018 Sanitary Sewer Infil-
tration Reduction Project has been
a long term goal for the City of Ar-
cata as it is vital to maintaining Ar-
cata’s core infrastructure. The city
is thrilled to begin making these
improvements for our community.
Upon completion, this project
will reduce the amount of wastewa-
ter that is processed through Arca-
ta’s wastewater treatment facility
greatly reducing the possibility of
sanitary sewer overflows and low-
ering operating costs.
Construction for this project is
scheduled to begin on Monday,
June 18 and should be completed
by Fall 2019.
Due to the work required for this
project, neighborhood residents in
construction zones may experience
brief sewer and water service in-
terruptions. The City of Arcata will
notify effected residents by mail in
advance of these interruptions.
Property owners, businesses
and tenants serviced by the sewer
mains selected for rehabilitation
will also be notified 72 hours in
advance regarding sewer and wa-
ter service interruptions via a city
door-hanger notice. It is antici-
pated that neighborhood residents
effected will have only two service
interruptions through the duration
of this project.
The City of Arcata apologizes for
any inconvenience that this pro-
ject may cause to neighborhood
residents, and thanks community
members in advance for their co-
operation. On the days of sched-
uled work, community members
are advised to follow all directions
and traffic control devices within
the construction area.
For updates regarding this pro-
ject, visit cityofarcata.org. If prob-
lems are encountered with this pro-
ject, please contact G.R. Sundberg
Construction at (707) 825-6565 or

Humboldt County SHeriff’S offiCe
BLUE LAKE – Sheriff William F. Honsal is
pleased to announce that the Humboldt County
Sheriff’s Office has entered into a deputization
agreement with the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe.
This agreement further strengthens the ties
between the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe and the
County of Humboldt, allowing for better coverage
and efficiency in public safety services within the
Rancheria and surrounding areas.
“This agreement has been years in the making
and I’m very happy with the outcome,” Sheriff
William “Billyu” Honsal said. “The deputization
of Blue Lake Tribal Police officers is a crucial step
forward to providing Humboldt County residents
on and off the Rancheria with the public safety
services they deserve. The tribal officers, being
aware of the unique cultural issues of the Ranche-
ria, will help us better serve the community and
increase public safety as a whole.”
Prior to the agreement, the Blue Lake Tribal
Police Department was federally commissioned,
meaning officers could enforce federal law but not
California law. According to Tribal Police Chief
Floyd Stokes, this stipulation seriously limited the
public safety services the department was able to
provide and the justice the community received.
“A lot of crimes that occur on tribal properties
are better handled through California courts than
federal courts,” Chief Stokes said. “We can’t do
our business well enough unless we have access to
California courts and we don’t have access unless
we are California peace officers.”
The Blue Lake Rancheria joins the Yurok and
Hoopa Tribes, who also have deputization agree-
ments with the Sheriff. Federally recognized trib-
al peace officers, who have graduated a state po-

Honsal and Chief

lice academy and have completed the 720-hour
field-training program with the Sheriff’s Office,
will have the power to enforce California law on
and off tribal lands under the deputization agree-
ment. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office will
supervise tribal officers during the course of in-
vestigating state crimes. Deputized tribal officers
will be distinctively recognized by wearing a dep-
uty sheriff badge and one Humboldt County Sher-
iff’s Office shoulder patch.
“Deputization with the Sheriff’s Office is abso-
lutely vital for us to run a full service police de-
partment,” Chief Stokes said. “The whole objec-
tive is for us to be able to assist the Sheriff’s Office
if they have a need and for us to handle a criminal
activity on the Rancheria as it occurs.”
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office looks
forward to this partnership with the Blue Lake
Rancheria Tribe and thanks the Tribal Police De-
partment for their dedication to meet deputiza-
tion standards.

pitches and the umpires called the game.
“Four hit batters in one half inning became
too much,” umpire Michael Cowan would
say.
Offensively, the Crabs, led by Fortuna
native Kokko Figueiredo, with two hits and
three RBI, scored eleven runs en route to
an 11-1 victory.
The Crabs put up another 11 runs in Sat-
urday’s game and this time shut the Bears
out with a final score of 11-0. Pitcher Jar-
ed Milch said of his five innings pitched, ”I
felt good coming in. Fast ball was locating
well. I was able to keep it down in the zone
and away from the bats and then mixing
in some off speed later during the count to
throw timing off.” It worked. Milch struck
out nine batters, allowed only five hits and
no runs.

fensive prowess from the Crabs.

short-handed Bears.
As the kids in attendance got to run the

J UNE 13, 2018 M AD R IVER U NION A7

We deserve a better explanation of what happened at KHSU
KHSU firing unexplained
Three weeks ago long-time KHSU employee Katie Whi-
teside was fired. I had just seen Katie on a Sunday and
spoke with her about coming back as a host and editor for
Through the Eyes of Women. On Monday I arranged an
interview with an internationally acclaimed author.
On Tuesday I emailed Katie to tell her the news and got
an auto-reply that Katie Whiteside no longer worked at
KHSU. Needless to say I was shocked. Since then I have
emailed KHSU’s General Manager Peter Fretwell, HSU VP
for Advancement Craig Wruck, and HSU President Lisa
Rossbacher.
I also attended the Community Advisory Board meeting
held Wednesday May 30. Peter Fretwell did respond to my
second email (Please see his response below), but neither
Craig Wruck nor Lisa Rossbacher has bothered, not even
with a canned response. Mr. Fretwell has said that he can-
not discuss Katie Whiteside’s firing because to do so would
violate personnel confidentiality. That is the canned re-
sponse I expected and did I get from Craig Wruck’s admin-
istrative assistant upon calling his office. That seems to me
a convenient duck-blind response to hide from inconven-
ient questioning and outrage from HSU staff, volunteers
and community members.
Katie has worked for KHSU for 22 years. At the time of
her dismissal she was fulfilling the responsibilities of three
jobs, program director, operations manager and volunteer
coordinator.
I began volunteering with KHSU in late 2011 and worked
with Through the Eyes of Women until mid-2016 as a host,
editor, engineer and, for approximately three-and- a-half
years as executive producer.
Most of my training for those rolls came from Beth Rog-
ers, former executive producer for TTEOW. But when Beth
left the show Katie was the one I looked to for support.
Katie also trained me to be an on-air host for Fresh Air
and KHSU’s Homepage. She was available 24/7 to sup-
port KHUS’s staff, volunteers and the station. She trained
students and volunteers while coordinating a transition
from analog to digital broadcasting, ushering in KHSU’s
BBC broadcast and the newest addition to KHSU Radio
Bilingue, subbing-in for volunteers when they were una-
ble to attend to their shows and coming in at all hours to
troubleshoot problems. Katie was the backbone of KHSU.
She was dismissed with no notice. There one day and
gone the next. Katie, as an at-will employee had no pro-
tections. But as a dedicated, competent, well-liked 22-year
employee she should at least have been shown some cour-
tesy. Staff has had to take up the slack left by her absence,
as far as I know, with no additional compensation. I heard
that Katie was given her paid vacation days, but as far as I
know no other severance package was offered.
I recently sent Peter Fretwell a list of questions that I
thought answerable without violating personnel confiden-
tiality. Two of those questions were, “Was there a transi-
tion plan in place for a new employee at the time of her
OPINION
v LETTERS
firing?” and “Was a replacement search initiated before
Katie was dismissed?” Mr. Fretwell’s reply to the email
containing those and other questions was:
Hello Ms. Marshall,
From a university perspective, most of your ques-
tions do relate to information that is confidential.
Since you are neither the employer or the employee,
your right to be given that information does not exist.
Thank you,
Peter Fretwell
On the same day I received Mr. Fretwell’s response I
learned from a staff member that there is, in fact, someone
new coming to the station to act as operations manager,
and I don’t understand why Mr. Fretwell could not simply
and politely answer those two questions with that infor-
mation.
And Katie’s sudden firing is just one of many things
that have caused upset at KHSU. KHSU maintained a
staff and volunteer listserve for many years which facili-
tated interoffice communication; according to staff Mr.
Fretwell dismantled the listserve. Apparently Mr. Fretwell
also eliminated volunteer meetings, a practice that allowed
volunteers to meet each other in person. I have also heard
that his management style is authoritative and abrupt, a
rumor that is certainly substantiated by his above refer-
enced response to me.
As of Tuesday, June 5 KHSU has lost approximately
$27,000 in community support. Underwriters and many
members have cancelled their ongoing support, with the
intention of reinstating that support when Mr. Fretwell were beautiful and the jalapeno bread was enjoyed by the

Arcata Legionnaires pledge to smash autocracy, announce burlesque show

ARCATA – On a warm, sunny
Friday evening, only about one-
10th of American Legion Post
274’s 111 members turned out for
the June 1 monthly meeting at the
Arcata Veterans Memorial Build-
ing. So most member vets missed
out on the grandeur and pageant-
ry of the swearing-in of the post’s
officers for the year.
A no-autocracy zone
Following the Pledge of Al-
legiance and the invocation by
Chaplain Leonard Shumard,
members read aloud the pream-
ble to the American Legion Aux-
iliary Constitution.
The preamble restates basic
principles upheld by the Legion
and its members. It reads:
“To uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States
of America; to maintain law and
order; to foster and perpetuate a
one hundred percent American-
ism; to preserve the memories
and incidents of our associations
during the Great Wars; to incul-
cate a sense of individual obliga-
tion to the community, state and
nation; to combat the autocracy of
both the classes and the masses;
to make right the master of might;
to promote peace and goodwill on
earth; to safeguard and transmit
to posterity the principles of jus-
tice, freedom, and democracy; to
participate in and contribute to
the accomplishment of the aims
and purposes of The American
Legion; to consecrate and sanctify
our association by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness.”
By way of combatting autocra-
cy, an explanation at alaforvet-
erans.org explains, “‘If America
is to remain ‘the land of the free,’
the government must always be
a government of all the people
and for all the people. No class-
es are recognized in America. No
masses of downtrodden people
exist. Neither must be permitted
to develop, but America must be
kept the country of opportunity for

all, where every citizen’s first alle-
giance is to the nation, not to some
social or economic class or mass.
Dominance must not be gained by
any such grouping of Americans.
This is another basic pledge of the
Legion and Auxiliary.”
Busy business, even burlesque
With autocracy having been
put on notice, Post Commander
Jeff Sterling welcomed guests,
they being renowned photogra-
pher, musical instrument maker
and wood artist Tony Gonsalves
and Legion District 1 Commander
Mike Voight.
A report by Finance Officer Bill
Kohse indicated a healthy cash
flow. Recent successful events at
the Vets Hall have made known
the facility’s potential, as rentals
are on the rise. The monthly swing
dance is enduringly popular.
“We’re getting a lot of nice
comments about how the building
looks now as opposed to five years
ago,” Sterling said.
Several veteran-oriented
events were mentioned, includ-
ing an Ice Cream Social put on
by the Eureka VA Clinic and Eu-
reka Elk’s Lodge No. 652 on June
28 and Veterans Fishing Day at
Freshwater Lagoon July 7.
A retro-style burlesque show
called Pin-ups On Tour takes
place at the hall on Sept. 8. Ster-
ling said it will have the flavor of
the renowned World War II-era
Hollywood Canteen. “Get dressed
up,” he advised.
The Marine Corps Ball will be
held Nov. 10. (More events are

baffles me how fast
time seems to just fly
on by. I cannot believe that
summer is literally right
around the corner, with
school ending for most on
either Thursday
or Friday.
If you are a
parent, hope-
fully you have
already looked
at the myriad
opportunities
for your child to
continue to learn
throughout the
summer months,
with summer camps, other
recreation opportunities,
and more. The Blue Lake
Community has many ac-
tivities for children, youth,
and the young at heart.
The Blue Lake Summer
Recreation program is one
of the best kept secrets of
Humboldt County, though
I think word has gotten out
over the past few years as
registration has been full!
If you have a child be-
tween the ages of 5 and 12,
there is still some room in

Chili Cook-off
We had an amazing turnout for the Chili Cook-off on
Wednesday, May 30. There were 10 participants and over
400 people in attendance. We would like to thank all who
made this event a true success. This was our first year to
hold an outdoor cook-off and we look forward to continu-
ing with this event in 2019. Thank you to McKinleyville
Shopping Center for providing a perfect location for the
outdoor cook-off with ample indoor seating for attendees.
Fireman’s Mini-Muster
Arcata, Blue Lake, Fieldbrook and Fortuna fire person-
nel volunteered their time to perform a Hose Relay and
Bucket Brigade contest. The MC shared some of the histo-
ry of firefighting and how muster’s began. Many commu-
nity members were there cheering for their favorite teams.
Thank you to McKinleyville Little League for hosting the
“Snack Bar” for this event.
Barn Dance
Azalea Hall was transformed into a barn on Friday eve-
ning for the first indoor barn dance. Those who attend-
ed enjoyed listening to Lone Star Junction while visiting
Teacher Organizations scrumptious snack bar.
Pancake Breakfast
Hungry patrons from far and near enjoyed the pancake
breakfast hosted by the Dow’s Prairie Grange members on
Saturday morning.
50th Anniversary Parade
Pony Express would not be the same without the well
attended parade. Hundreds of people lined up along Cen-
tral Avenue to watch approximately 50 entries while cel-
ebrating 50 years! Thank you to Mad River Rotary and
McKinleyville Youth Football for organizing the parade
and traffic control at the intersections to safeguard the
participants as well as the spectators.
Pony Express Festival
Pierson Park was the place to be on Saturday from
Noon to 4pm. Over 40 vendors offered their wares. Many
local crafters offered their unique products while others
offered their tasty treats.
There were a wide variety of children’s activities along
with a tour of the fire station and a Coast Guard helicopter.
The live music was provided by Taxi out of Willow Creek.
Pony Express Days is an annual event that depends on
the support of our local businesses and community mem-
bers.
The McKinleyville Chamber would like to thank all of
our monetary and in-kind donors who helped to make the
50th Anniversary Celebration one to remember.
