Arcata goal: use

ARCATA The Arcata City Council

last week tightened restrictions on water
use, introducing an emergency ordinance
pursuant to a state mandate over the
drought-related water shortage in California. The ordinance will likely be adopted
by the council and would normally go into
effect June 17, but because of the statewide emergency situation, the restrictions
are in effect immediately.
While the state goal is a 25 percent reduction, since Arcata residents use fewer
than 65 gallons per day of water 47, to
be exact the city must reduce water usage by just eight percent. That works out
to something like 3 gallons per resident
per day. The restriction applies to both
individual residents and the city. For its
part, the city will reduce vehicle washing
and selected landscaping-related irrigation, and will increase leak detection and
greywater capturing efforts.
Restrictions for citizens include watering sidewalks and driveways with excessive runoff, outside watering during or up
to 48 hours after measurable rainfall,
watering lawns and landscaping, watering
between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., use of potable water in fountains, automatic service
of water in restaurants and more.
Environmental Services Director Mark
Andre encouraged citizens to implement
greywater capturing techniques, like taking a bucket into the shower and using
that water on plants. He said the city will
provide outreach and education to help
citizens achieve the water use reductions.

McKINLEYVILLE Starting July

1, sewer rates are going up in McKinleyville and will continue to rise for
the next four years. By 2019, the rate
for an average single-family household
will have increased by about 92 percent
compared to the current rate.
The rate increase was unanimously
approved by the McKinleyville Community Services District (MCSD) Board of
Directors at its meeting June 3. The rate
increase will help pay for a $17 million
upgrade to the districts sewer plant, as
well as the increased cost of running
and maintaining the system, and other
sewer improvements.
Last weeks meeting included a protest hearing, during which residents
had an opportunity to shoot down the
increase per the provisions of Prop. 18.
The state law gives customers the opportunity to prevent rate hikes if they
can get more than 50 percent of customers to submit written protests. But
the Mack Town effort to kill the rate
hike fell short, with only 76 protests out

McKINLEYVILLE
McKinleyville Union School

District (MUSD) has recently
refunded outstanding general
obligation bonds, which will
save the districts property
owners over $1.2 million in
taxes. The refunding bonds,
totaling $6,630,000, were
originally authorized by more
than 55 percent of voters at the
June, 2008 election and were
used to repair aging classrooms, make energy efficiency improvements throughout
the District and build a gym at
McKinleyville Middle School
(scheduled for completion in
August, 2015).
The interest rates on the
outstanding bonds from the
2008 authorization ranged
between 4.5 percent and 5.25
percent. The interest rates for
the new bonds issued May 28
will be between 0.35 percent
and 3.43 percent, a difference
that will save property owners

$1,202,720.
Our office is diligent in
monitoring our debt obligations and will seek any opportunity to help taxpayers within
our district save money, said
District Business Director Jeff
Brock.
Superintendent
Michael
Davies-Hughes added, Last
September we were able to
save taxpayers over $21 million by refinancing old bonds
and we couldnt be happier
to save another $1.2 million
today. Our community has always been supportive of our
schools and this low interest
rate environment has allowed
us to save property owners
even more.
The refinancing of the bonds
was authorized by the district
board at its May 13 meeting.
Property owners in the District will see a reduced tax rate
on future tax bills.

MUSD
McKINLEYVILLE Following an extensive

search and selection process, the McKinleyville
Union School District (MUSD) Board of Trustees
met June 3 and took action to hire Dr. Al Rosell
as the new Superintendent.
Rosell is currently the principal at Willow
Glen Elementary School in the San Jose Unified
School District. He has nearly 20 years experience as an administrator at the school and district levels.
Prior to his administrative roles, Rosell taught
math, social studies, Spanish and psychology.
Rosell is bilingual (Spanish and English) and
helped establish a dual language immersion program in his current school district.
Rosell earned his bachelor of science in Social Science and Spanish at BYU, and his MS in
School Administration from National University.
He holds a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from San Francisco State University.
The current MUSD Superintendent, Michael
Davies-Hughes, will be working with Rosell on a
transition plan for the coming weeks. Rosell will
be assuming full responsibility as Superintendent on July 1.
mCSD | Customers complain they didnt know

FrOm A1
of 6,000 customers.
Those who spoke at the meeting
said they were surprised by the size
of the increase, with some expressing
frustration over rising costs in general. As one man pointed out, rates arent the only thing rising. So have local
property taxes to pay for bonds. Taxpayers, he said, have taken a beating.
A common complaint was how the
rate increase would affect residents
on fixed incomes.
Do you folks have any idea how
many fixed income residents are living in your district? said resident Al
Freeman.
Another complaint that came from
the five people who spoke against
the increase was that many residents
were not aware that the MCSD was
raising rates.
However, later in the meeting,
MCSD Manager Greg Orsini pointed
out that articles about the rate increases appeared in the Mad River Union.
There were press releases printed in
the Union and the Times-Standard.
Information was posted in the MCSD
website, and notices were mailed to
each customer. Orsini also appeared
on KIEM-TV news programming.
I truly did everything in my power
to make sure the people in this community were well aware of whats go-
ing on, Orsini told the board.

As for the sewer upgrade, its been
in the works since about 2005. Its
been discussed at MCSD meetings.
The district also held special meetings
to inform residents about the project.
When it came back to the board for
discussion, directors explained that
the sewer upgrade needs to be done
in order to keep the district in compliance with state water discharge
requirements. Failure to do so could
result in massive fines.
I feel your pain, MCSD Director
Dennis Mayo told the audience, but
I think this is a very judicious thing
were doing and we need to do it.
Director David Couch, who works
for the City of Arcatas sewer department, said that the MCSD is pursuing
a frugal solution to solve the problem.
Were not going for a Cadillac, were
going for a little Chevy economy car,
Couch said.
Director George Wheeler noted
that work on designing the sewer upgrade began long before he was elected in 2013. This board has beat this
thing to death, Wheeler said. A lot
of work has gone into this over many
years.
The first increase will start July 1. A
single family residence using 800 cubic feet of water a month will see the
sewer portion of its bill go up from the
current $29.40 a month to $36.55,

an increase of $7.06. Afterward, the
yearly increases will be $6.98 in 2016,
$3.75 in 2017, $4.61 in 2018 and
$4.77 in 2019.
By July 2019, the sewer portion
of the bill will be $56.66, an increase
of $27.17 compared to the current
charge.
The increases will pay for a portion
of a $17 million upgrade to the MCSD
Wastewater Treatment Plant at Hiller Park along with the increased operations and maintenance costs. The
plant will be transformed from a pond
system to a state-of-the-art mechanical treatment system. The purpose
of the upgrade is to keep the district
in compliance with ever-stricter state
regulations. Failure to stay in compliance could result in thousands of dollars in fines for each day the district
fails to meet discharge requirements.
The increase will also pay for infrastructure improvements to the rest of
the sewer system.

Countys budget deficit rises to $3 million

Daniel Mintz
Mad RiveR Union
HUMBOLDT The countys

budget for the coming year includes revenue increases, but additional costs wipe out the gains
resulting in a budget deficit that
is larger than was forecasted last
month.
At its June 2 meeting, the
Board of Supervisors fielded a report on the countys $318.6 million budget for the fiscal year that
begins July 1.
A projected $2.2 million budget
deficit has increased to $3 million
because additional spending is now
recommended. The extra costs include a $400,000 contribution to
the budgets General Reserve and
state-mandated services.
Measure Z the voter-approved countywide half-cent sales
tax increase is expected to add
$8.9 million in revenue to the budget, but the money is slated to be
completely spent on public safety
services, including $3.5 million to
the Sheriffs Office and $1.5 million to the District Attorneys Office for filling frozen positions.
The countys Probation Department is recommended to
receive $600,000 in Measure Z
funding to restore previously-cut
services.
But the department is losing
$700,000 in federal funding, so
$575,000 of it is recommended
to be covered through a transfer
from the countys lean contingencies or emergency fund and an increase in deficit spending.
County Administrative Officer
Phillip Smith-Hanes described
the budget as one that sees only
a small amount of progress. The
basic story of the budget for Humboldt County is two steps forward
and one-and-three-quarter steps
back, he said.
Measure Z revenue is only a
small portion of the overall budget and the general picture continues to be very slow progress
in terms of revenues and expenditures continuing to increase as
well, basically consuming all of
those increased revenues.
In all, there are $3.8 million
of additional funding requests
from county departments, a significant increase from last years
$517,000 of requests. Deputy
County Administrative Officer
Amy Nilsen said several of the
requests must be funded because
they are state mandates.
Those include $325,868 of
Elections Department funding,
$160,000 to cover a General
Relief caseload increase and a
$100,000 increase in the countys contribution to the court system for indigent defense.
The coming years budget includes an increase of 64.5 positions and the number of frozen,
unfilled positions will be reduced
by 35 positions due to Measure Z
revenue.
The recommended budget also
includes a $500,000 loan from
the countys motor pool to the
Aviation Enterprise Fund, which
has an $826,000 deficit due to
lack of fee revenue. According
to a written staff report, the loan
will be paid back through anticipated revenue through 2025. A
$50,000 loan is recommended to
cover initial operating expenses
for the McKay Community Forest.
The countys Code Enforcement Unit consists of only one
code officer. A Measure Z request
for funding another code officer,
an attorney and clerical support
is not included in the recommendations of a Measure Z Advisory
Committee.
But Supervisor Ryan Sundberg
said he will bring up the request
during budget deliberations.
I think its getting to the point
now where people are seeing how
a code enforcement officer ties
in to public safety and can really go out and make differences
in neighborhoods when we act
quickly, he said.
During public comment, the
McKay Community Forests logging revenue potential was questioned by Blue Lake resident Kent
Sawatsky. Fortuna Mayor Pro Tem
Tammy Trent asked the county to
fund the addition of a Fortuna officer to the countys Drug Task Force.
Dr. Sam Kennedy, a member
of the countys Experimental Aircraft Association chapter, said the
countys airports could be more
profitable if they have additional
hangars.
Supervisors unanimously approved draft resolutions authorizing the loans to the Aviation
Enterprise Fund and McKay
Community Forest.
The budget is set for adoption
on June 23.
ROUND UP FOR RECREATION
The McKinleyville Community
Services District provides a variety of recreational activities and
opportunities for citizens of all
ages. In addition to participating in recreation, McKinleyville
citizens can also Round Up for
Recreation on their monthly
sewer and water bills. On the bill,
customers will see a small square
which they can check with an X
and then round up to the nearest
dollar (or any amount above that
they wish). That rounded up
money contributes to the MCSDs
recreation programs.

Street for the report of a man who had just been stabbed in
the throat.
There, officers located the male victim conscious and alert.
He identified the suspect as Lindsay Kaminsky, 25, of Arcata.
The suspect fled the residence prior to
police arrival, but was quickly located
in a nearby park. The victim was transported to Mad River Community Hospital, where he is in serious condition.
Lindsay Kaminsky was booked at the
Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of assault with a deadly
weapon and domestic violence.
According to published reports, the

Admiral | Hat collection grows

From A1
his career to Rickover, the famous

four-star admiral who became the
longest-serving naval officer in U.S.
history with 63 years active duty.
Rickover led the original development
of naval nuclear propulsion and was
its operations supremo for three decades.
Last year, Oliver published Against
the Tide, a distillation of Rickovers
business and management precepts,
which the author believes are of major
benefit to enterprises big and small,
including entrepreneurial ones.
While Oliver was serving on board
the Nautilus, 1969-1972, Leroy Murrell was opening his hair-cutting business in 1971. It is a 44-year fixture of
the McKinleyville Shopping Center
and Oliver appreciates history.
Today, Leroy and son Ken, who
joined his father in the business 23
years ago, boast a collection of some
160 military caps from multiple services.
The caps hang neatly on a wall opposite the two barber chairs. Readily
visible through the front windows,
the display naturally drew Oliver inside.
I saw all those hats when I was just
walking around the shopping center,
he said in an interview at his home last
week on Patricks Point Drive. Linda
and I have lived in 23 different places
around the world and been to about
50 countries. Weve developed a habit
of just wandering around and meeting
people, so I stopped by to meet them
(Leroy and Ken). Of course I saw that
Leroy had been in the military but I
didnt say I had been, too.
Not long afterward, though, I
gave a speech in Groton, Connecticut
where the Nautilus Museum is and I
said to myself, Well, Ill just buy a hat
and take it back to him. He ought to
have it because hes got some other
famous caps on the wall there, which
are very interesting.
Oliver says the Nautilus cap is of
note in another way; the Navy commissioned the Walt Disney Company
to design the caps insignia patch, the
famous atom with its revolving electrons.
Serendipity got the cap collection
started in the same way that serendipity led Oliver into the barber shop
to see it. Twenty-two years ago, Leroy
recalled, a Navy officer left his cap behind after his haircut. Leroy decided
to mount it on the wall while awaiting
the customers return, but he never
came back.
What followed grew out of cen-
turies-old military service rivalry.

Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay
was commissioned in mid-1977 at
what was then called the Arcata-Eureka Airport in McKinleyville. A Coast
Guard officer came by for a cut, took
one look at the Navy cap and instantly razzed Leroy about the absence of
a Coast Guard counterpart. The Navy
was founded in 1775, the Coast Guard
in 1790 a 225-year, seaborne and
airborne competition.
Now Leroy had his first Coast
Guard cap to match the Navy one.
There was no decision to start the
collection, it just kind of happened,
the Army vet said in an interview at
his shop.
Although Admiral Olivers Nautilus cap is the latest addition, it is by
no means the lone submarine gear.
Leroy says no fewer than 20 submariners frequent his business and no
fewer than four served on the U.S.S.
Nautilus.
And of course besides the Coast
Guard and the Navy, we have caps
from the Marines, the Seabees (construction battalions), the Merchant
Marine, the Air Force and the Army,
he adds. We have an Army cap from
a Pearl Harbor survivor and a series of
Native American caps, too.
Leroys proud motto is, We honor
veterans 365 days a year, not just one
day a year.
The shop features more than one
unique exhibit. Arrayed along the interior near the ceiling are 14 mounted
animal heads. They are punctuated at
floor-level by a vertically displayed,
350-pound California black bear the
father-and-son barbers hunted in the
Bald Hills above Orick the day after
Christmas 1995.
We shot everything in here, Leroy
says.
While you wait for a haircut, you
can, predictably, browse through a
variety of hunting and outdoor magazines; linger by a separate wall-mounted display of Avon model cars; or sit
back and watch news or sports on TV.
Television aside, the McKinleyville
Barber Shop is something of a throwback to one of Norman Rockwells
most popular and critically-acclaimed
covers for The Saturday Evening
Post,
Shuffletons
Barbershop.
Painted in 1950, the illustration was
based on a shop in East Arlington,
Vermont named after the owner, Rob

Based upon his consistent disregard of officers orders and the
immediate threat he posed to residents in the neighborhood, a Taser
was effectively deployed and the
suspect was taken into custody.
The suspect was identified as
Russell James Holt, 43, of Eureka.
Holt is currently on parole with
the California Department of Corrections for a prior burglary.
After being medically cleared at
Mad River Community Hospital,
Holt was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility
where he was booked on charges of
burglary, false imprisonment of an
elder, resisting, obstructing or delaying the duties of an officer and
trespassing.
An admirals leadership lessons

Paul Mann
Mad RiveR Union
TRINIDAD Twentieth-century Americas

most illustrious and controversial admiral developed unique leadership and management practices that should be carried forward into the 21st
century, says new Trinidad resident and author,
Navy Rear Admiral (ret.) David R. Oliver Jr.
Oliver, 73, a career submariner and international business consultant, has written a book
about that maverick admiral, Hyman G. Rickover, who eventually came to be hailed as
Father of the U.S. Nuclear Navy.
Olivers book is titled Against the Tide, because Rickover had to unleash an ocean-sized
cultural shift to get a hidebound Navy to move
from diesel power to nuclear power. The oldest of the U.S. military services, founded as the
Revolution broke out, the Navy had a reputation for obsessive adherence to tradition and
willful resistance to change.
Known for being abrasive, demanding, obsessive and opinionated (Optimism and stupidity are virtually synonymous), Rickover
prevailed over high bureaucratic odds as he
conceived and built the nations first nuclear-powered submarine, the U.S.S. Nautilus,
SSN 571. It revolutionized naval warfare forever when it was launched in the mid-1950s, not
long after the Korean War.
Oliver graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1963 and was an engineering officer for several years on board the history-making sub (see story, page 1).
Against the Tide is not a biography of Rickover, the author said in a dining room chat at
his home near Patricks Point. Rather, the book
is a reexamination and analysis of the leadership precepts that Rickover developed in his
record-long Navy career, precepts Oliver says
not only transformed Americas oldest military
service, but also remolded defense industry
management and U.S. education.
Following in the footsteps of the Roman poet
Horace, who said, Whenever giving advice, be
short, the hard-bitten Rickover condensed his
unorthodox thinking into pithy aphorisms:
Lead from the front.
Judge results, not people.
People, not management systems, get
things done.
The reason I wrote the book is that Rickovers leadership ideas are applicable to everything, from the smallest business to the global
corporation, says Oliver, who went on to command his own nuclear sub and became chief of
staff to the Seventh Fleet. Later he was a principal deputy undersecretary of Defense in two
administrations and an executive at Northrop
Grumman and Westinghouse.
Oliver is given to dark humor about managements common and apparently ineradicable failings.
Did you ever have a boss who came in and
said, OK, this year were going to focus on 10
things? Thats a person who has no idea what
hes talking about. Hes made a mistake right
from the start because nobody can focus on

10 things; you can focus on a maximum of five
and even thats too many.
Three are better, two are best, Oliver advises.
Rickover chose two: safety and accountability. He focused on them all the time because a whole litany of things developed from
those two, even though they were always the
main point, Oliver explains. Good managers
understand that focusing on one thing doesnt
mean the other nine things wont get done.
Its the managers job to keep many things in
mind, but he must spare his employees from
thinking about them. He encourages them to
focus on the task at hand. If your subordinates
are worrying about all the things youre worried about, the job doesnt get done.
Recounting his own corporate experience,
Oliver said the executives and managers he
observed inevitably insisted on overreach,
which is almost always counterproductive. A
perfect example, he said with a good-natured
but mocking laugh, are the encyclopedic job
descriptions that companies and universities
pointlessly gin up for hiring prospects.
They are ludicrous, not least because the
people who write them are describing themselves because they know that theyre perfect! So they include every little thing about
how wonderful they are. Its an exercise in vanity and it is all worthless.
Among Rickovers other leadership principles, set forth with a patrician air:
Know your people well. This is the Rosetta
stone of good management.
Talk with job candidates yourself, even if
youre the CEO or the general manager. Never mind hiring committees and bureaucracy-clogged Human Resources.
Weed out early for suitability.
If a subordinate always agrees with you,
s(he) is useless to the organization.
Minimize rules, which are the lowest common denominator of human behavior; they are
no substitute for thought.
Keep people busy on things they can accomplish.
Rickover chose subordinates who were
completely unlike him, recalled Oliver, who reported as an engineering troubleshooter to the
admiral from on board the Nautilus. He was
a very unusual person. He chose people who
were independent and autonomous, who could
tell him no. Once he trusted you, when you
asked him for something, you got it in a hurry,
almost the instant he got off the phone.
A classical thinker who lived and championed classical discipline, Rickover admonished:
Anticipate obstacles not yet visible and organize for the future.
Offer a rousing reason for change. Successful managers give employees a new, competing
passion to replace the old one.
Pinpoint what people fear in your workplace and correct it. Fear, especially unacknowledged fear, sinks productivity and corrodes teamwork.

Stand in the Sand on Kids Ocean Day

Friends oF the dunes
LOLETA On the morning of

June 3, nearly 1,000 students took
a stand in the sand at the Mike
Thompson Wildlife Area, South
Spit by forming a giant sturgeon
and with the message Unite for
the Sea as part of Kids Ocean
Day. Local pilot Mark Harris flew
over while photographer Patrick
Cudahy captured the image.
Friends of the Dunes and the
Bureau of Land Management
Arcata Field Office organized
the Kids Ocean Day event locally, with help from the California Conservation Corps and the
Humboldt Bay National Wildlife
Refuge.
This event was part of the statewide Kids Ocean Day education
program, a series of childrens
cleanups and aerial art displays
at five sites along the California
coast. Across the state, students
received classroom presentations
before the event focusing on the
ocean, biodiversity and the importance of keeping our coast
clean and healthy.
In Humboldt, students had the
option to pick up trash or remove
invasive plant species to make
room for native plants. Each site
created an image of a different
animal, forming an interspecies
united front with ocean conservation messages. Kids Ocean Day,
leading up to World Oceans Day
on June 8, was organized statewide by the California Coastal
Commission.
Friends of the Dunes has been
organizing this event locally since
2005. This is our 11th Annual
AreA
Kids Ocean Day event in Humboldt County, and we are still really excited to be a part of this statewide program said Suzie Fortner,
Friends of the Dunes education
manager. In the classroom students have learned about our diverse coastal ecosystems, and how
human actions are impacting these
habitats. But Ocean Day is not just
about environmental problems, it
is about solutions and taking action. We teach the students that
their everyday actions can make a
difference, and on Ocean Day the
kids are getting their hands dirty
and making a difference for our
coastal environments by picking
up trash and removing invasive
species. This year, our theme animal in Humboldt is the Green
Sturgeon, which to us is an animal
that emphasizes the interconnection of our watersheds, estuaries
and marine environments. The
take home message, both for students and for everyone who sees
the image and the message Unite
for the Sea, is that we all need to
be a part of the solution and work
together to protect our coast and
ocean.
By acting to clean up the
beach and participating in the aerial art images, these children are
sending a very powerful message
to the world, said Steve Kinsey,
chair of the California Coastal
Commission. Theyre uniting in
their quest to protect the ocean,
and theyre sending the message
that the rest of us must unite too,
and that together we can make a
difference. The Coastal Commission is proud of these children and

QUESTIONS FOR UNION READERS Are you as fed up

with garbage and debris showing up at Liscom Slough
as we are? Would it be better if we dialed back or discontinued the near-weekly photos of slough dumping, such as the stolen car and habitat-degrading
fish waste that turned up last week? Were wondering
whether it is, on balance, best to maintain awareness
of the continuing abuse of the sensitive aquatic habitat, or if it only advertises the place as a dumping
ground. Send any thoughts on either the dumping
problem or coverage thereof to opinion@madriverunion.com. But do us all a favor before you suggest
installation of surveillance cameras there, do consider visiting the site along Jackson Ranch Road to identify a viable location where any cameras could be
mounted, as well as what type of cam might produce
detailed, useful images of culprits at night on the unlit
roadway.

OPINION
The Me Too clause
protects workers
Why do Humboldt Countys employees
want a Me Too clause in their contracts?
The answer is to maintain parity with
other workers. The Me Too language in
the current public employee contracts indicates that elected officials cannot give
themselves or their favorites wage increases without sharing the same with their employee bargaining units.
Wages are set based on a job classifications requirements that include the education and experience demanded by the job
and by comparing salaries of workers filling jobs with the same qualifications, duties and demands.
When wage increases are considered,
they are generally given as a percentage
that maintains the integrity of the assigned
pay grade and are in keeping with the cost
of living.
In the last four years, Humboldt Countys employees have received a 2 percent
wage increase. According to the County
budget report, the employees wages are
residing somewhere about 9 percent below
the cost of living. The indignity of stagnant
workers wages is exacerbated by the continued increase in the need for services
delivered by county workers, decreased
buying power and workloads that in many
v LETTERS
cases have more than doubled.
The Me Too clause evens the playing
field. It applies to health insurance, holidays, sick pay and wages. It says, in short, if
a wage increase is deserved by one group, it
is deserved by all. This year, workers have
seen the Board of Supervisors cherry pick
a favored employee from the Board of Supervisors own office and provide her, lacking any supporting documentation, with a
20 prcent wage increase while continually
pronouncing that there is no money.
When the workers hear that the county
does not want to include a Me Too clause
in their contract, they are rightfully concerned that the county wants to reserve its
right to play favorites.

ADHC thanks to Redwood Coast Music Fests

I would like to take this opportunity
to extend a huge thank you to Redwood
Coast Music Festivals for their generosity
in giving back to seniors in the community
through their annual Senior Grants program. Adult Day Health Care of Mad River
was recently honored to be the recipient of
one of these grants.
Our grant allowed us to purchase a new
harness and other accessories for one of
our mechanical lifts which we use on a dai-
ly basis to assist in transferring people in

and out of wheelchairs.
As a small non-profit organization operating on a tight budget and with the specialized harnesses we need costing several
hundred dollars each, it is very helpful for
us that grants such as these are available.
We are very grateful that organizations
such as Redwood Coast Music Festivals
care so much about the seniors in the community and are willing to give back in this
way. Their grant program is a benefit not
just to the organization that receives the
grant but also directly impacts seniors by
helping to provide or enhance services in
the community.
Thank you again to Lynn McKenna and
all of the members of the RCMF grant committee. Your generosity really does make a
difference.

State Assembly State Capitol, Room 2179
Sacramento, CA 95814
AB 718 (Chu) Removal of Regulatory Authority: Vehicles Used For Human
Habitation Notice of Opposition
Dear Assemblymember Chu,
On behalf of the City of Arcata, I write
to inform of our opposition to AB 718,
which would prohibit local agencies from
enforcing laws and ordinances, or otherwise subject to civil or criminal penalties,
the act of people sleeping or resting in a
lawfully parked motor vehicle.
While a vehicle may be lawfully
parked in a residential neighborhood or
in the parking lot of a business, that does
not mean that it is acceptable to have people live there. The issues raised by AB 718
are less about parking, and more about
the use of vehicles for human habitation,
including sleeping and resting in front
of existing homes and businesses.
City parking locations whether on
public or private property other than
campgrounds were never intended or
designed for residential occupancy. Such
uses raise major issues of sanitation as
well as the ability of residents to feel secure in their homes and enable the conduct of business activity.
This measure should be rejected. Cities work hard to balance all of the needs
of their communities. It is simply not appropriate for the Legislature to attempt
to remove local government authority to
appropriately protect the public health,
safety and welfare of their residents from
issues that arise when people live outside of campgrounds in cars and trucks
parked on public and private property.
These are not easy issues to deal with, but
they cannot responsibly be ignored.
What is most needed to combat homelessness is funding for affordable housing
and emergency shelters. There are several major pending measures that can help
restore funds for affordable housing; we
encourage legislators to support additional funding for affordable housing and
homeless solutions
Because this measure would undermine local authority to appropriately protect the public health, safety and welfare
of our residents, we must oppose AB 718.
Sincerely,
Michael Winkler

wields a mean squeegee. The colors
shes squeezed onto the silkscreen
seem to blend and flow just as shed
like them to, creating a vibrant print
of her own design.
Kabat hand painted on fabric from
1980 to 1994. Her lovely designs were
sought after and cherished, reflecting
the beauty of our coast and the natural
world we live in. Visit a long-time home
in Humboldt and youll likely see one
of her pillows gracing a couch, perhaps
a bit faded with time, but still evocative. Egrets stalk a beach that merges
with a distant coastline and sky. Cats
curl their colorful selves around each
other and look as if they were reclining
on the pillow themselves.
But the constant and time-consuming brushwork of painting
on fabric took its toll.
I got carpal tunnel
pretty badly, Kabat said.
I thought Id have to
duct tape the brush to my
hand.
She turned to silkscreening as a
way to produce enough of her work to
keep up with the demand at art shows
and craft fairs.
People had been telling me to
silkscreen, she said, but part of my
problem was I researched it a bit too
much. Finally, one day, I just said, Im
going to try it, and it was a success.
Much of what Kabat does to produce her immediately recognizable
T-shirts and bags is prep work, before
the actual silkscreening.
I buy 12 ounce canvas by the 100

foot roll, she said of her bags. I tear
off 100 inch sections, serge the edges,
wash the heck out of it and dry it so
its all preshrunk. I dont want to end
up with a crumply little disappointing
mess.
Her T-shirts take as much preparation as well.
I wash all the shirts and dry them.
I dont want people to be disappointed by the size theyve chosen.
Kabat irons all the canvas before
printing on it, but does not iron the
T-shirts. I just smooth them, she said.
Recently, shes been experimenting with printing on vegan suede. Im
excited about it, she said.
After she prints her original designs
on canvas, she sews large tote bags and
small zippered bags on one of her more
than a dozen sewing machines.
Shes been selling her bags and

T-shirts at the North Country Fair for
more than 20 years, the Humboldt
Artisans Fair for 30 years, and other
shows such as Fourth of July Jubilee
on the Arcata Plaza.
Kabat is also in her 15th or 18th
year at the Oregon Country Fair. This
year, she has been selected by a jury
to be one of the logo artists for the
fair and her design is colorful and
full-spectrum. Shes taking her newest sewing machine, a hand-cranked
model, to the fair to do minor alter-
ations for shoppers.

But to see her designs sooner, just
visit her during North Coast Open
Studios, this Saturday and Sunday,
June 13 and 14 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Kabat always has a silkscreen going,
both to demonstrate the art, and to let
visitors try their hand at it.
Joining her will be her friends Linda
Parkinson, known for her watercolors,
prints, and cards of birds and other
nature subjects, Robin Friedman with
dichroic glass jewelry and mosaics, and
Elaine Benjamin, of Blue Chair Press
fame. Benjamin has closed her Blue
Chair Press and now concentrates on
pyrography, wood burning on beautiful slabs of wood, according to Kabat.
They will all be at Kabats large
studio, Thimbleberry Threads, 4460
Dows Prairie Rd. in McKinleyville.
Call (707) 839-3831 for directions.
Kabat named her business
after the native Thimbleberry
plant because she lived for 10
years in a little cabin, 12 foot
by 12 foot with no electricity,
no plumbing, no phone, surrounded by thimbleberries.
Unlike the thimbleberry, shes not
a native, having been an army brat
born in Cincinnati, lived in Texas,
Maryland, Hawaii and California, but
shes lived in Humboldt County since
1975, the longest Ive lived anywhere.
But Kabat is as resilient and as beautiful as the thimbleberry, which is sometimes called the Queen of Berries for
its thornless, fall-into-your-hand red
berries. Shes made her place on Dows
Prairie, where shes lived since 1987,
into a garden spot where art grows.

MYSTRIEUSE Brisa Roch returns to Humboldt County via Paris for a rare one-night-only show at the Arcata Playhouse this Saturday, June 13.
Photo by Francois coqUerel
You have one chance to

catch this international
woman of mystery
Janine Volkmar
Mad RiveR Union
CREAMERY DISTRICT Describing Brisa Roch is

difficult. Shes like one of those prisms you hang in a sunny window to delight in colorful reflections that change
and flit across a white wall.
Heres a woman, born in Humboldt County and raised
without electricity, who has transformed herself into a
Parisian. Her French is fluid and excellent, as befits
someone who has lived in Paris for a dozen years.
But she sings and records in English.
Shes acted in French films, most recently in the biopic Yves Saint Laurent. She played a jazz singer and also
wrote and recorded two tunes for the film.
To watch her on YouTube as shes interviewed on a
French talk show is to watch a typical French woman.
Her facial expressions, idioms and charm are all French.
Then, cued by the interviewer, she fronts a jazz band
and sings in a charming sort of English, her diction and
accent not quite American, not quite French, but something in between, perhaps from the asteroid inhabited by
Saint-Exuprys beloved Le Petit Prince.
Roch writes compositions that resemble standards, she said. For One Moment, the song she wrote
for the Saint Laurent film, was chosen as a single for the
soundtrack and was single of the week on iTunes. But
she feels so much less free doing my own compositions,
by her own account.
She names Peggy Lee, June Christie, Ella Fitzgerald,
Kay Starr, Billie Holiday and Chet Baker as influences.
My style is quite vintage, she said. But shes really a
force unto her own self.
Brisa is a Renaissance woman, said her mother,
Jeannie Fierce. Shes a determined person. Shes been
a performer all her life and shes honed her craft. Fierce
herself sings with the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir.
Roch has sung all types of music and recorded albums The Chase, Takes and All Right Now, with other
releases in the works. But her jazz concert at the Playhouse will be a return to mystery.
I would like to say that doing jazz is like this mysterious thing in my life, she said. Its different from all
other kinds of singing for me. Jazz is mysteriously spiritual for me.
Experience the mystery of Brisa Roch for yourself
when she plays a rare gig at the Arcata Playhouse, 1251
Ninth St., on Saturday, June 13 at 8 p.m. Roch will perform jazz standards of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, including such well-known tunes as Just One of Those Things
and Lover Come Back to Me with Baron Wolfe and
Steve Smith.
General admission is $15/$13 for students and Playhouse members; tickets are available at Wildberries
Marketplace, online at arcataplayhouse.org or by calling (707) 822-1575.

Consider adding Addie
edwood Pals has been doing some outreach with

homeless dogs in Eureka. We have found a community that is eager for assistance in keeping their
canine friends healthy. Last week, we were able to vaccinate four dogs, worm six, provide puppy formula for an
abandoned puppy and arrange for one spay. More vaccines were ordered and well be going back soon to pick up
where we left off.
The people that I worked with could not have been more
respectful and appreciative of the help. It is such a good
feeling to be able to do this! We cannot
provide rabies vaccines, as that needs to
be done by a vet, but helping to prevent
parvo and distemper and reducing unplanned breeding are ways to make a big
difference to this community. Many loMara
cal veterinarians have been offering lows egal
cost rabies clinics and we refer our new
DOGTOWN friends to them.
Back on the home front, we are still
looking for foster homes for the dogs in our rescue. If you
have considered adding a dog to your home, either as a
first dog or a companion for your companion, fostering
can be a good way to see if that is a fit for you. Redwood
Pals covers medical expenses and will arrange training assistance for foster dogs. Our hope is always for a foster
failure, where the foster family falls in love with the dog
and decides to keep them, but all help is appreciated!

We have a lovely young dog at the Humboldt County
Animal Shelter. Addie is a one year old hound and border
collie mix. She is such a favorite with our volunteers! Her
mild manners and unusual coloring (white and gray) lead
visitors to mistakenly think that she is a senior dog. Honestly, I think that is why she is still there.
Says one of our volunteers: Addie is one of my favorite
inmates. I fell in love with her instantly. Addie is a gentle,
happy and very responsive girl. After some initial enthusiastic leaping and wagging when she gets out of the kennel, she settles and is very good on the leash. She is very
focused on her human, responsive and pretty obedient for
such a youngster. She is very affectionate with me, and
will flop over for belly rubs and lick your face at any opportunity. I think she'll make a wonderful part of a family,
with or without kids.
Addie is playful, fine around other dogs and has not
been tested around cats, though her gentle manner makes
me think that she would probably be fine with them also.
Addie is smaller than she looks in her pictures probably
under 50 pounds on her lean frame.
Addie can be seen at the Humboldt County Animal
Shelter at 980 Lycoming Ave. in McKinleyville. She is
spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations. More
information is available at (707) 840-9132.

Cardiac Crabs win nail biters

Erik Fraser
Humboldt Crabs
ARCATA Cardiac Crabs has a nice ring to it, doesnt it?

The Crabs finished the second weekend of their season
with a perfect 7-0 record, thanks largely to their ability to
come through in the clutch when trailing late. In three of
their five wins last week, the Crabs trailed heading into the
bottom of the eighth, only to rally with multiple runs to pull
out the victory.
Quite an accomplishment for a group of guys who havent even known each other two weeks.
I think it says a lot about the programs they come from,
to begin with, said Manager Tyson Fisher. The groundwork for us has been laid, and I think thats huge. These
guys, sometimes they jell a lot earlier than expected and

this is one of those groups. They come out and work hard
every day they beat the coaches to the ballpark you cant
say enough about a group like that.
On Tuesday, June 2, against former Crab Alex Crosby and the Novato Knicks, Humboldt was down 5-4 when
Ryan Dobson reached on an error, stole second and scored
on a double by Allen Smoot. Smoot moved to third on a single by Jesse Medrano, and scored on a fielders choice by
Beau Bozett to give the Crabs the lead for good. Bozett came
in on a double by Dillon Kelley for the games final run in a
7-5 win.

The next night was nearly a carbon copy. The Expos

in the first while some fans

seats, and added another
in the third for a quick 3-0
lead. The Crabs got one
back in the bottom of the
third, but that was all the
scoring in the game until,
you guessed it, the bottom
of the eighth.
Smoot led off the frame
with a double, and would
eventually score on an error that extended the inning. That error would be
the Expos undoing. One

a 3-1 score. Expos starter
Hilario Tovar had suffocated the home teams offense for six innings and
left in a position to pick up
the W.
But against reliever Tanner Irwin in the eighth, the
Crabs bats finally work up.
Medrano and Bozett both
singled, and Dan Deely

Perhaps tired of the dramatics, the Crabs jumped
out to a big lead in Sundays
series finale, scoring seven
times in the second, but
saw their lead immediately trimmed to 7-5 the very
next half inning. The Expos
closed the gap to just one
run in the fourth, but that
was as close as they would
get, as Smoot doubled in
two runs in the bottom of
the fourth.
The Crabs bullpen,
which has been stellar so
far this season, shut the
Expos down the rest of the
way, combining for 6 1/3
innings of one-run ball.
We had to use the bullpen a little bit more than
we wanted to (on Sunday),
Fisher said. Burschinger
got off to a pretty good start
and then had that rough inning there, but the bullpen
did a good job, like theyve
done all year, throwing
strikes and pitching to contact, and let the defense
make some plays behind
them.

A 16-year-old female
and her older sister were
traversing rocks near the
water when the younger
girl slipped and fell approximately 15 feet on to
a small rock outcropping,
possibly breaking her arm
and suffering from severe
abrasions.
Hampered by injuries
and unable to successfully
extract themselves due to
impassable cliffs, the sisters used a cell phone to
call for help. Once on scene,
CalFire first responders located the females but were
unable to remove them due
to the steep terrain and
precarious location and relayed the call for help to the
Coast Guard.
The crew of Rescue 6558, piloted by Lt.
Keith Roberts and Lt. J.J.
Briggs, maneuvered the
helicopter under thick fog
and slowly searched the
shoreline north of Moon-

the survivors clinging to
the rocks in a knee deep

hoist from directly above
because of overhanging
cliffs, the crew decided to
move the survivors away
from the cliffs.
Flight mechanic Aviation Maintenance Technician Matt Lawrence
lowered rescue swimmer
Aviation Survival Technician Chief Neil Cahoon into
the water adjacent to the
women where he carried

each through the rising
surf. Both were then hoisted to safety. Upon landing
at the Mad River Community Hospital, both survivors were treated for their
injuries and hypothermia.
Lt. Roberts said, This

one can tell who it is, Holcomb said, laughing.
The give and take between the two is an obvious
plus to the job.
Shaeffer said, If I
couldnt work with Hoke,
I wouldnt do it. We just
have a really good rapport,
as far as playing off each
other. We have a ball.
Holcomb echoed those
thoughts in a separate interview. And, of course,
its a lot of fun to work
with Benjamin. Hes a really easy guy to work with.
Were in fairly close quarters for a couple of months,
so its good that we get
along.
There are other pluses
about the radio gig.
The best thing is getting
the best seat in the ballpark
and each season turning 12
again, Holcomb said.

One of the things I
think is particularly wonderful about going to a
ball game at the Arcata
Ballpark is that it is one of
the few venues where you
see multi-generation enjoyment. So often we are
age-segregated in recreation, he explained.
Hoke and the Professor
also interview guests in
the booth. Don Hofacker comes up two or three
times a season and gives us
an umpires perspective,
Holcomb said. Last year
we interviewed the son of
a man who played with the
Crabs in the early 50s. In
those days, players came
from pro teams. This was
a guy who had played with
the Yankees.
So if you cant make it to
a game, tune in and listen
to Hoke and the Professor.
They keep you informed
and entertained, as theyve
been doing for years.
As
the
Professor
quipped, After 17 years,
its longer than some marriages.

O BITUARY
Rob (Habib) Sadler
n May 8, 2015 the life drum of Rob

(Habib) Sadler played its final beat.
He left this world the same way he
spent so much of his time in it, surrounded
by love and forever sharing his light.

Rob was a man who touched the heart
of everyone he met. Whether he made you
smile one time in the grocery store or you
spent hours discussing the wonders of life,
chances are Rob left you with a fuller heart
than you ever thought an old bearded hippie could.
Rob was a man who always had time,
even though he spent his almost 72 years
on this earth being told that he wouldnt
live much longer, wouldnt get to be much
older. But through each health crisis, he
prevailed; hed pull what has come to be
called a Rob, continually showing skep-
tical doctors that he was not just a statistic,

he was a miracle.
And he was a miracle. In his final weeks
in this body, he dined with good friends,
got down on the floor and played with his
great-grandchildren, talked with loved ones
and danced. He danced after years of living in a body that couldnt quite move the
way he wanted to; he found it in himself to
dance, to party on and once again feel the
music, the rhythm of the drum as it beat
through his heart and moved his body.
Rob leaves with us a wide array of family brought to him both by blood and by
destiny. He will be remembered by many
friends from both past and present, each
knowing their unique connection to him
and carrying a piece of his light into the fu-
ture. His loving daughter Hannah Sheklow

remains, and his partner Noor Walsh, as do
three of his granddaughters, Mara Green,
India Broadbent and Abigail Sheklow, and
his two grandsons, Justin Green and Noah
Sheklow. He is also survived by his sisters
Christie Radcliff and Patty DeRanzo as
well as his brothers Tom Sadler and David
Sadler.
A memorial will be held for Rob on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 4 p.m., with prayer/
drum circle at 6 p.m. at Beginnings in
Briceland, Calif. The family encourages all
who knew him to attend and bring a potluck dish, a musical instrument (if youd
like to play) and your best memories. It will
be a night of remembrance and a celebration of a full and unique life.

REDWOOD PARK IMPROVEMENTS ARE DISCUSSED Three

topics were discussed when the Arcata Community Forest Commission met in the City Hall.
The commission discussed development of a trunk road network
throughout the forest, based on plans submitted by the city engineer.
They will tour the suggested roadways Feb. 22 to determine feasibility.
Commissioners were concerned with stumps remaining at the arboretum site, and placed stump removal as number one priority. The
final topic discussed was continuation of thinning operations in the
forest.
The commission is concerned with lack of control over contract
loggers, and will recommend that the city retain a consultant to supervise operations and mark trees slated for cutting.
