McKINLEYVILLE – Ryan Sundberg
officially kicked off his campaign for a
third term as Fifth District supervisor
during a gathering Monday night at Aza-
lea Hall in McKinleyville.
Humboldt Coun-
ty’s first Native
American county
supervisor, and one
of only three in the
State of California,
said he would like
to continue serving
the residents of the
Ryan sprawling Fifth Dis-
Sundberg trict, which includes
McKinleyville, Trinidad, Orick, Field-
brook, Willow Creek and Hoopa.
On June 5, voters will choose between
Sundberg and challenger Steven Madro-
ne, who announced his candidacy in Sep-
tember. (“Madrone seeks Fifth District
seat,” Mad River Union, Sept. 6, 2017.)
Before being elected to his first term
in 2010, Sundberg, 43, served on the
Trinidad Rancheria Tribal Council and
worked at the Sundberg Insurance Agen-

MCKINLEYVILLE — The U.S. Coast
Guard aided three fishermen in distress
after the engine room on their vessel be-
gan flooding near Humboldt Bay on Sat-
urday, Feb. 3.
A good Samaritan issued a mayday
to Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay
watchstanders via VHF-FM channel 16
around 10 a.m., reporting that the com-
mercial fishing vessel Gerry B was taking
on water and had no electrical power or
communications eight miles south of the
Humboldt jetties.
The fishermen were reportedly don-
ning life jackets and preparing to aban-
don ship.
A Coast Guard Air Station Humboldt
Bay MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew was
airborne on a training flight in the area
and diverted to the scene. A Coast Guard

The Dolphin crew located the vessel
and lowered a radio to establish commu-
nications. The crew then circled overhead
and helped direct the Motor Lifeboat

The boat crew delivered a dewatering

any time soon. A staff re-
port on the project will have
to await responses from the
many agencies to whom
the project applications has
been referred. Those refer-
rals went out Jan. 24, with
a 30-day response period.
Even then, the project
will have to take its place
in the queue of some 1,700
similar cannabis projects
pending at the county level.
“It’s not on our near-
term horizon,” said Bob
Russell, deputy director of
Planning and Building.
Some 20 agencies have
been referred the applica-
tion, including the City of
Arcata, Arcata Fire Pro-
tection District, the Pacific
Union School District, var-
ious regulatory agencies,
rancherias and others.
David Loya, Arcata’s
community development
director, said the city is de-
veloping a response. Among
other considerations, it will
look at traffic impacts and
how the project will impact
Arcata’s green belt policies.
The city has been try-
ing to protect its western
edge from excessive devel-
opment, an initiative that
gained momentum after

Another positive, Laid-
law said, was the structure’s
relative isolation. Any fire
that broke out would be
unlikely to spread, as adja-
cent structures are few and
far between. “From the fire
side, that’s a good thing,”
he said.
While a company state-
ment stresses that Sun
Valley “has no interest in
entering the cannabis busi-
ness,” it is interested in
selling off some non-pro-
ductive assets to support
the core operation.
“Management feels it is
prudent to shed excess as-
sets and to reinvest into the
core business of growing
and marketing flowers, in
order to ensure the viabili-
ty of the enterprise,” states
the company.
Having an approved can-
nabis facility would surely
enhance the value of the old
Simpson mill, making for a
more lucrative sale.
Neighbors in Westwood
have gotten wind of the
project and are discussing
it, but public facts, so far,
are few.
Devries said a rumor
that a Japanese company
has been enlisted to oper-
ate the facility is unfound-
ed. “That’s a new one,” he
said.
The company has been
in discussions with several
prospective buyers; some
local, others from the Bay
Area, Los Angeles and off-
shore.
Devries said the building
is largely unused, with just
a few small operations now
utilizing the space.
Sun Valley maintains
some coolers for bulb stor-
age, while RVs are also
stored there. A small mush-
room wholesaler also occu-

“Thanks to the help of a good Samaritan, our crews
were able to assist these fishermen by air and by sea,”
said Capt. Greg Fuller, the Sector Humboldt Bay com-

look out for each other.”

Sundberg| Created McKMAC, finished GPU
FROM A1
leyville, which is the largest commu-
nity in the Fifth District, with a popu-
lation of more than 15,000, according
to the last Census.
Sundberg grew up in McKinleyville
and attended Dow’s Prairie School,
McKinleyville High and graduated
from Humboldt State with a degree in
business administration.
A member of the Mad River Rotary
Club, Sundberg has developed a rep-
utation over the past eight years for
providing constituent services such as
helping residents deal with potholes,
nuisance abatements, abandoned ve-
hicles and trash pickups.
“I actually enjoy it,” said Sundberg
in an interview last week. Moments
before the interview, Sundberg was
on Gwin Road in McKinleyville work-
ing with volunteers to fill in potholes.
The busy road, which serves sev-
eral subdivisions and mobile home
parks, is privately owned and was
never brought into the county’s road
system. Because the road is private
property, the county cannot legally
spend money making road repairs.
So in order to fill the gaping pot-
holes, Sundberg organized a group
of volunteers and donors to get the
job done. Hooven and Company
M AD R IVER U NION
Sundberg said that among his ac-
complishments during his time in of-
fice is the approval of the Humboldt
County General Plan Update, which
the board OK’d late last year after a
17-year process. Sundberg noted that
the plan has not faced a court chal-
lenge.
Another major accomplishment
is the formation of the McKinleyville
Municipal Advisory Committee
(McKMAC), which gives the unincor-
porated community a voice in county
matters.
The creation of the committee was
called for in the McKinleyville Com-
munity Plan, approved by the Board
of Supervisors in 2001. However, the
committee wasn’t formed until 2012,
two years into Sundberg’s first term.
Among the reasons cited for the
delay in the committee’s formation,
Sundberg said, was a lack of funding.
But Sundberg pressed for its creation.
”We did it for free,” Sundberg said. “I
think it’s working pretty well.”
The committee also helped solve
another problem that McKinleyville
residents have complained about for
years – the lack of law enforcement
officers in town.
The McKMAC sought a solution
to the deputy shortage and ultimate-

came out of Eureka.”
“They’re able to be proactive now,”
Sundberg said about the deputies.
In almost every election for Fifth
District supervisor, the issue of incor-
poration comes up. Why isn’t McKin-
leyville, the largest community in the
district, a city?
At the recent State of McKinleyville
meeting sponsored by the McKin-
leyville Chamber of Commerce, Sund-
berg explained that state law makes
incorporation financially unfeasible.
There is a requirement that when
new cities form, they must be “rev-
enue neutral” to the counties. So if
McKinleyville were to become a city,
it would not be allowed to take the tax
revenues that the county now receives
from the town.
Rather than focus on the unlikely
possibility of incorporation, Sund-
berg said he would rather focus on
improving services.
“If we’re not going to be a city, how
do we make sure we have all the ser-
vices that a city would have?” Sund-
berg said.
Sundberg noted that McKinleyville Commercial Printing & Design

PUBLIC SAFETY
’Scuse me, while I punch the sky
• Saturday, January 13 8:42 p.m. A man at the cen-
troid for rude rumbustiousness – the bench at Ninth
and H streets – chose from a well-established menu of
jiggery-pokery the actions he might inflict on Arcata’s
long-suffering innocent passersby. Some sort of primitive
effort-reward calculation drove him to that most low-ef-
fort/high-impact of tactics – yelling. Police couldn’t find
him among the herds of howlers prowling about there.
• Sunday, January 14 1:51 a.m. A tawdry me-
lee at Ninth and H involved five brutes brawling
in the street, one of whom waved a cane or stick
by way of planetary betterment. Someone was ar-
rested for public drunkenness.
6:29 a.m. Where once their marriage was
embroidered with tender kisses, warmth and
whimsy, it was now marked by him kicking at
her trailer front door while barking out threats.
10:27 a.m. A man brought to the hospital ER declined
physician attention, choosing instead a unique form of
self-treatment – lingering near doctors’ offices and trying
doors.
12:03 p.m. A motorhome parked in Todd Court for sev-
eral weeks was left bleeding sewage with its door hanging
open, its sole occupant a sharps container full of needles.
12:19 p.m. A man set his wallet on the roof of his car
during a fill-up at a J Street gas station for a sec, then for-
got about it and drove away.
• Monday, January 15 8:53 a.m. A man parked on the
Plaza beheld the hostile antics of a woman in a gray tank
top who yelled at him through his window, struck the win-
dow and his mirror, then sat on the truck and told him he
couldn’t leave. She then proceeded to the middle of the
Plaza for a bout of yelling.
9:02 a.m. A woman in a gray tank top grabbed a bottle of
alcohol from an I Street store and scampered away.
• Tuesday, January 16 12:51 a.m. Multiple practi-
tioners of the yelling arts – at least one of them arrestably
drunk – howled about on 11th Street.
10:33 a.m. A two-burrito thief and his backpack are no
longer welcome at a 13th Street store.
11:38 a.m. A man with unknown issues chose different
forms of retribution for the entirely blameless people and
objects – including Earth’s long-suffering atmosphere –
which he encountered near 14th and F streets. The innocent
passersby were lashed with shouted profanities, while street
signs and the very air itself sustained merciless punches
from his mighty fists.
12:20 p.m. As two sweatshirt-wearing men in the 14th
Street Redwood Park lot know, nature is best appreciated
by flinging knives at a tree.
12:27 p.m. The wafting aromas of fabric softener, the
whirring of washers and dryers and the warmth they
imparted all added up to ideal napping conditions for
a non-customer at a G Street laundromat. He didn’t re-
spond to attempts at a wake-up, but seemed to be breath-
ing. Police warned him away.
1:05 p.m. A woman at Seventh and I streets offered a val-
ue-added yelling demonstration, augmenting her passer-
by-revilings with rearrangement of the multiple markers
at the PG&E road sign museum there.
4:58 p.m. A Third Street resident complained of an in-
vading rooster, which both crows loudly and brazenly
climbs up her tree.
• Wednesday, January 17 10:26 a.m. A yellingman
on F Street wore a camouflage hat, so his blurly bleats ap-
peared to be emanating from a writhing face-hole with no

The refuges of Howland,
Baker, and Jarvis islands,
which Forsell managed in
the 1980s, lie within 100
miles of the equator in the
Central Pacific Ocean, and
are separated by over 1,100
miles of uninterrupted
ocean. Throughout the past
150 years, a couple of mil-
lion seabirds have managed
to nest there despite many
man-made hazards such as
rats, cats, invasive plants
and contaminants.
The islands are of his-
torical interest, playing a
strategic role in WWII, and
later being subjected to bi-
ological and chemical war-
fare testing. Forsell will talk
about the natural history of
the terrestrial wildlife, as
well as the beautiful marine
life of the refuges.

org/careerfrontiers. week he was able to accompany me to
a Sunday afternoon dog class where
my plan was to get some photos of the
other dogs attending.
We had a few things to do first and
arrived after class had started. He
strolled in very calmly and was hap-
py to stay by my side while
the other dogs went through
their paces. When we had a
turn to run the exercise for
loose leash heeling, he did
very well and was nicely fo-
cused.
Pepper likes his treats and
is happy to learn new tricks
for treats, but seems to be
equally motivated by just making
his person happy. I had him sit by
my car at the end while I dug for the
car keys. I noticed how well-behaved
he was and asked him
to stay while I backed
away. He didn’t budge
until I returned and
gave him the go-ahead
to hop in the car! He was
also very good riding in Pepper
the car. We had a great
time together and I am confident he
would make a great companion for
someone. Pepper is neutered, micro-
chipped and current on vaccinations.
He does fine with small dogs but
would do better in a home without
cats or rabbits as they are a little too
interesting to him. Come meet Pep-
per today and let him show you how
good a dog a Pit Bull can be!
Another dog from the shelter who
got to go to class last week is our girl
Jazzy.
Jazzy is a 1-year-old female mixed
breed dog. She is listed as a German
Shepherd mix, but it’s hard to tell
F EBRUARY 7, 2018
what her background might be. She is
tall and lanky with a lovely soft coat
in shades of gold. Jazzy would bene-
fit from getting out of the shelter and
into a home where she could receive
consistent training. She gets tired of
her small kennel and is very excited
to get out with the volunteers for a
walk and play time. She did great at
dog class, demonstrating that just
getting away from the shelter for
a few hours and focusing on some
training makes all the difference for
these dogs. She was a good student
and enjoyed meeting the other dogs.
Jazzy loves to play and would make a
good second dog for a home with an-
other dog already in residence.
Jazzy is a nice dog that is easy to
overlook while walking by the ken-
nels, but shows her sweet
side once out in the yard. It
can be confusing to some of
the shelter dogs when they
are locked up for twenty
three hours a day and then
have to pack all of their
fun into that other half an
hour or so. A home situation is much
easier for them to adjust to. Jazzy is
spayed, microchipped and current on
her vaccinations.
Both of these dogs are adoptable
from the Humboldt County Animal
Shelter, located at 908 Lycoming Ave.
in McKinleyville near the airport. In-
formation about the adoptable dogs
is available at petharbor.com or by
calling (707) 840-9132. Every adopt-
ed dog helps to save two lives – the
dog adopted and the one who needs
that kennel space to be saved. Thank
you for considering a shelter or res-
cue adoption!
