Arcata gun
law mulled
Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – The Arcata City
Council last week considered
a possible ordinance requiring
Arcata firearms owners to store
their weapons unloaded and
locked up in a safe or locker. No
action was taken other than to
direct staff to develop language
for future consideration. That
may be done in conjunction with
the new Public Safety Commit-
tee, which forms this August.
The ordinance came at the
urging of two Northcoast Pre-
paratory Academy students,
Olivia Joachim and Eva Swartz.
In a letter to the council, the
two advocated safer gun stor-
age based on Humboldt Coun-
ty’s gun-related death rate of
17.1 per 100,o00 people –much
higher than the statewide rate
of 7.7 per 100,000.
“Please save lives by keeping
guns out of the hands of mi-
nors,” the two ask in the letter.
A staff report said the ordi-
nance could address negative
firearm impacts including chil-
dren and teenagers accessing
weapons, felons and people

ARCATA – Organizers of the
petition drive to keep the statue
of President William McKinley
on the Plaza have completed their
signature gathering in time for
the Monday, May 21 deadline to
turn them in. The initiative seeks
to place a measure on the Nov. 6
ballot which, if approved, would
override the City Council’s Feb. 21
decision to remove the statue.
While 961 signatures of Arcata
voters were required in order to
qualify a ballot measure, Coun-
cilmember Michael Winkler – the
sole vote against removal and a
co-organizer of the petition drive
– said that some 1,769 signatures
were collected.

He said by comparing the sig-
natures to voter rolls, he deter-
mined that 452 of them weren’t
valid, mostly due to obsolete ad-
dresses. But that still leaves 1,317
valid ones – enough of a margin
for the petition to comfortably
qualify a ballot measure.
Winkler said pro-statue advo-
cates are “open to a compromise
that honors our histories – plu-
ral.” Options include installation
of an interpretive plaque near the
statue which would offer histor-
ical context, and creation of an-
other statue or display honoring
indigenous peoples.
Wiinkler said he expected an-
ti-statue activists to attempt to
invalidate the petition. “We have
legal representation and will deal
with that as necessary,” he said.

ularly as she tabled outside the Arcata
Co-op. “You just can’t let the minorities
win one, can you?” asked one person.
Last week, a woman wearing an “FBI”
cap hovered around Brotz, supposedly
taking video of her. Brotz returned the
favor, shooting video of the woman with
her cell phone.
Winkler said he appreciated those
with opposing views who managed to
remain focused on the issue of the stat-
ue. “I want to give kudos to the people
on the opposite side who are behaving
respectfully and concentrating on the is-
sues and avoiding personal attacks,” he
said. He cited activist Fhyre Phoenix as
pursuing statue removal in a cordial and
responsible fashion.
The last City Council meeting includ-
ed several calls for Winkler to be both
censured and censored by the council for
his pro-statue petitioning and for refer-
ring to the raucous crowd of anti-statue
activists at the Feb. 22 council meeting
as a “lynch mob.” So far, the rest of the
council, all four of whom voted to get rid
of the statue, has shown no inclination
to discipline their dissenting colleague.
Anti-statue advocate and remov-
al fundraiser Fhyre Phoenix also re-
ported harassment. He said that while
protesting the statue outside Jacoby’s
Storehouse recently, a man claiming to
be a Wiyot Indian locked onto him and
revved up a stream of abuse. The man
asked numerous questions, but inter-
rupted the answers and argued with him.
The man then went and sat in one of the
display chairs outside Arcata Exchange
and called him names for a time, yelling
“nasty” things across the intersection of
Eighth and H streets. The would-be Wi-
yot also went over to Brotz, who was pe-
titioning outside the Post Office, held up
her pro-petition sign and told Phoenix
his efforts “don’t matter at all.”
Meanwhile, Phoenix’s fundraising to
cover statue removal expenses is pro-
ceeding apace. The cost has been esti-
mated at up to $65,000, and as of last
Thursday, Phoenix had raised $800 and
turned over a $500 check to the City of
Arcata. Last Saturday, he was to host a
potluck party in his McKinleyville front
yard to raise more funds.

City scopes McKinley EIR project alternatives
Kevin L. Hoover
Mad RiveR Union
ARCATA – The City of Arcata wouldn’t
usually hold a meeting at the D Street
Neighborhood Center to scope the legally
required project alternative projects in an
Environmental Impact Report. But this
was not your usual project or a routine EIR
– it’s the environmental document for the
removal of the statue of William McKinley
from the Plaza.
While moving a statue might not seem
like an environmental issue in terms of
birds, bees, fish and trees, it’s the historic
environment that this EIR will focus on.
Arcata’s General Plan identifies the
McKinley statue as a feature of the historic
Plaza district. The California Environmen-
tal Quality Act says that an impact to a his-
toric district is an environmental impact,
thus the report.
Maybe. The city is hiring a consultant
to make a study to verify whether the stat-
ue is a historic resource, removal of which
substantially changes the Plaza’s historical
significance.
But for now, the city is assuming it is,
and is taking the initial steps to compose an
EIR. Part of that is identifying project alter-
natives – from leaving the statue in place to
banishing it from Arcata altogether.
On the east side of the hall was a line of
chairs – not quite enough to accommodate
the more than two dozen attendees. Along
the opposite wall was a line of tables bear-
ing sheets of butcher paper, each offering
one of the project alternatives for public
comment to be supplied with Post-It notes.
Alternatives offered included doing
nothing (a CEQA-required option); remove
the statue and store it offsite; relocate it to
Redwood Park; relocate outside Arcata;
and any other alternatives anyone might
have.
By way of creating a substantive EIR,
Community Development Director David
Loya asked participants to focus on envi-
ronmental impacts and feasible ways to
minimize and mitigate them, and to offer
the reasoning behind their suggestions – to
say why.
Most relevant were comments on bio-
logical resources, historical resources and
aesthetic impacts.

Taking a closer look at the candidates for the Fifth District
Madrone’s many fictions
Trinidad Rancheria has been the subject
of harassment and abuse during the Fifth
District Supervisor campaign and unfairly
characterized and targeted. Some of the
statements made to the press by Steve Ma-
drone and his supporters have bordered
on racist and discriminatory remarks and
have gone unchecked.
I am writing this letter to the editor to
express my deep concern and also to sepa-
rate facts from fiction. Trinidad Rancheria
is not running for Fifth District Supervisor.
Ryan Sundberg is a Trinidad Rancheria
tribal member, a Native American of Yurok
decent and has worked tirelessly to help all
Native Americans in Humboldt County and
the entire state. Ryan has also worked tire-
lessly for all Humboldt County residents
without any partiality.
Ryan has improved county and tribal re-
lationships since he has been Fifth District
Supervisor. It is unfair to position tribe
against tribe as Madrone has done.
In his quest to become the next supervi-
sor, Madrone has knowingly promoted un-
true statements about Ryan as well as the
Trinidad Rancheria. Capitalizing on tribal
differences and securing endorsements
from large tribes based on inaccurate infor-
mation shows a lack of integrity. Madrone
is making promises to support tribal issues
he knows nothing about. How could he be
truly representing all tribes fairly when he
has not met with Trinidad Rancheria? He is
not basing his campaign on facts. I have to
wonder what promises he is making?
Madrone has taken credit and has been
quoted in the press as being responsible for
bringing in over $10 million for the Trin-
idad Pier. This is FICTION. Madrone had
absolutely nothing to do with securing the
grants that were applied for that eventually
funded the pier.
The Trinidad Rancheria is an environ-
mental steward and has worked tirelessly
to protect the Trinidad Harbor. We, the
Trinidad Rancheria, worked with the City
of Trinidad to secure the first $2.5 million
in funding that was the leverage point for
the entire project.
The Rancheria wrote the grant, the City
of Trinidad administered and oversaw the
grant. The Rancheria went on to secure
grant funding from the Federal Highway
Administration, the Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs, the Tribal Transportation Funding al-
located to Trinidad Rancheria annually, as
well as the California Coastal Conservancy.
Madrone did not work with the Ranche-
ria or even communicate with the Ranche-
ria during this grant leveraging process.
The project did not cost $10 million. The
total funds were approximately $8.3 Mil-
lion. I am appalled that Madrone would
embellish and mislead the Fifth District
voters and make them believe he was the
catalyst behind this effort.
Trinidad Rancheria worked on permit-
ting and securing funding for this project
for over five years. This pier is owned and
operated by Trinidad Rancheria for the en-
tire community. Don’t be misled by Madro-
ne’s political statements regarding all of his
accomplishments.
Another one of Madrone’s favorite top-
ics is the Trinidad Rancheria Interchange.
He has not participated in any of the com-
munity meetings held, has not been willing
to meet with the Rancheria to discuss the
project, and is misleading the Fifth District
voters once again. His statements are fic-
tion!
Fact: The Rancheria gave up Tribal
Lands in the late 1960s in order for U.S.
Highway 101 to be built. Unfortunate-
ly, the tribe did not receive direct access
to its property as part of this project. The
Rancheria lost over 12 acres on the other
side of the freeway as a result. This became
a social justice issue for the Tribe and has
become its highest priority project.
Fact: Since 2001, the Trinidad Rancheria
has completed several planning studies in
order to study safe accessibility to the Trin-
idad Rancheria and the surrounding areas,
and to investigate alternatives that would
provide improved access for current and
future needs. Since 2012, a Project Devel-
opment Team (PDT) has met to guide the
project through the project development
process. This PDT team has been instru-
mental to date in developing the purpose
and need for the project and preparing the
project to reach this stage. The PDT team
will continue to play a key role in guiding
the project through to completion.
Fact: The Tribe has spent in excess of
$1,230,060 of its own funding on this proj-
ect. Recently the tribe received $775,000
in Advanced Project Development Element
M AD R IVER U NION

v LET TERS
Funds which will enable the Tribe to begin
the environmental phase of the project. It
is in this environmental phase that each
and every alternative will be explored, put
under the microscope and the community
will have every opportunity to weigh in and
voice their concerns. There are approx-
imately 11 different alternatives. As you
know, the CEQA – NEPA process does not
allow one alternative to rise above another
alternative until there has been a complete
hearing process.
Rumors are being circulated by Madrone
that this project doesn’t address the needs
of the entire community. This is fiction!
Humboldt County Public Works Direc-
tor Tom Mattson has gone on record saying
that we must address the unstable condi-
tions that exist on Scenic Drive. One ma-
jor earthquake will shut down ingress and
egress to all homes throughout all of Scenic
Drive. The Rancheria wants to bring this
discussion to the community. What can be
done? There must be an alternative access
route.
Madrone wants to shut down a project
he has not been a part of, has not worked
on for 10 years. He wants to tout communi-
ty solutions but hasn’t worked to bring any
solutions. The Rancheria has.
Ryan Sundberg is keenly aware of con-
flicts of interest with this project and has
recused himself in his role on the HCAOG
Board. Madrone should roll up his sleeves
and share his solutions instead of trying
to kill the only project that may be viable.
Moving the project forward, to bring the
actual project to the community, to provide
an avenue for community involvement and
understanding of project, and bringing for-
ward preferred solutions, would show re-
sponsible leadership.
So, I encourage all voters and interest-
ed community members to not take state-
ments at face value, but to do your home-
work. Madrone’s slogan “it’s time for a
change” is misguided and misleading. He
doesn’t have a clue as to the work that has
been done, he has tried to take credit for
work he hasn’t done, and he is making
promises to the Fifth District that he can-
not deliver. Fact or Fiction... You decide!

A property rights problem
When I heard Steve Madrone explain
how he favors property rights, I felt com-
pelled to point out how his past actions are
contrary to the “property rights” claims he
currently is making in his run for Fifth Dis-
trict supervisor.
First and foremost, most of us know
Steve Madrone by the other name he has
been using for decades which is “Sung-
nome Madrone.” The only thing Madrone
favors about “property rights” is that he
favors ignoring your property rights or tak-
ing them away.
Case in point: A man named Mike Moss
owned 94 acres of land near the highway
on Fox Farm Road in Trinidad. Mike’s
land was also near where Madrone lived.
Mike was 60 years old and was planning
his retirement so Mike proposed dividing
his 94 acres into four parcels as part of his
retirement.
All the homes around Mike’s property
were on small parcels of 1-5 acres, includ-
ing that of Sungnome (Steve) Madrone’s.
Madrone approached the agents Mike
was using and informed them that if Mike
did not hire him (Madrone) to assist with
Mike’s project that he (Madrone) would see
that the project would never happen.
Well, Madrone wasn’t hired because
nobody believed Madrone had the skills to
do the job and because Mike would not be
extorted by Madrone’s claims that he could
stop Mike from his four way parcel split. In
response not being hired by Mike, Madro-
ne started to trespass on Mikes property
to interfere with the work being done by
Mike’s agents that had been hired to divide
the 94-acre parcel into four parcels.
In court documents regarding the in-
junction issued against Sungnome “Steve”
Madrone, it states that after Madrone
was enjoined from trespassing on Mike’s
property, Madrone intentionally sought
to evade the court order by sending his
(Madrone’s) minor son onto the property.
Poor Mike again had to threaten to go to
court to stop the harassment of the work-
ers on his property.
Madrone’s lack of respect for every-
one else’s property rights was made clear
v You simply must include
your name, city and a phone
number (that we won’t pub-
lish) with your letter before
you send it to to opinion@
madriverunion.com.
by what Madrone did to Mike to stop this
simple four-way lot split. Madrone and his
friends filed lawsuits and other actions,
simply to delay the approval of this proj-
ect and to drum up the costs for this parcel
split assuming Mike would just give up.
Madrone and his friends held up this
four-way parcel split for 19 years. Not only
was Mike deprived of what he needed for
his retirement, the frivolous court actions
almost sent Mike to the poor house.
After numerous courts rebuked Madro-
ne and his friends, Mike was able to pro-
ceed with his four-way lot split because
nothing that Madrone and his friends were
claiming about the lot split was true and
the claims were only made to cause delay
and drum up costs so Mike would give up.
Poor Mike was 80 years old by the time
this four-way lot split was approved due to
Madrone’s contempt for Mike’s property
rights.
These are not the actions of a person
who claims to support property rights, un-
less Madrone’s so called support of “prop-
erty rights” means that Madrone doesn’t
recognize that a person has property rights,
and that everyone else’s rights are subser-
vient to what Madrone wants.
I have knowledge of all of this because
I was the realtor for this property when it
was listed for sale. Although this was many
years ago, I feel it is important information
about his actions and how they are differ-
ent than what Sungnome “Steve” Madrone
states is his so called current position.

Sundberg’s misleading claims
Recent letters to the editor in local pa-
pers may have left readers with the con-
fused impression that our Fifth District
County Supervisor “did not ever support
the permit application” by Mercer-Fraser
in public or private.
This is unbelievable, because as a con-
stituent, when I contacted Mr. Sundberg
asking him to join the Humboldt Bay
Municipal Water district in opposing the
cannabis refinery project proposed at the
Glendale gravel plant, he did not express
any sentiment that could be understood
as withholding his support for the permit
application.
Instead Ryan stated that he was having
conversations with both the Water District
and Mercer-Fraser to seek changes that
would allow the project to move forward.
His actions were not opposing a bad proj-
ect as many residents had requested, along
with the Water District. Rather Ryan’s ac-
tions were clearly facilitating the cannabis
refinery proposal.
To make claims now that he was not in
support of the cannabis processing refinery
is at a minimum disingenuous, but really
such claims are just plain misleading. The
residents of the Fifth District deserve bet-
ter representation.

Follow the money
Have you seen the plethora of “vote for
Sundberg” signs on every street corner
with sometimes two to a corner?
Each ultra-large sign has two T-posts
holding it up. One 5-foot T-post is over $4.
So my guess is that every sign cost Sund-
berg about $10 to put up. Now try counting
the signs as you drive to work. How much
money do you think Sundberg has backing
him that he can put so much into signs?
Where is he getting that money? Who is
he beholden to as he sits on the Board of
Supervisors and makes decisions that af-
fect us all? Do you really think that he cares
about the average family in Humboldt?
When I worked to pass Measure V in
November 2016, he could have listened to
the request of his many constituents. In-
stead he actively campaigned against us.
He supported his point of view by saying
that the Mckinleyville Municipal Adviso-
ry Committee (McKMAC) voted against
us. What he didn’t mention was the McK-
MAC is primarily old white men that he
appointed.
This time we actually have someone that
we can vote for. Steve Madrone is out walk-
ing the streets of Humboldt County. He
doesn’t have big signs but he knows us, the
citizens of the 5th district. He is familiar
with our issues. He appreciates our unique
environment just like we do. I encourage
you to vote for someone that will listen
when we have an issue.

Sundberg delivers for the 5th
In these days of candidates offering false
hopes and promises to get elected, it is re-
freshing to see an incumbent on the bal-
lot who has proven that he can deliver the
goods!
Ryan Sundberg has consistently deliv-
ered to his constituents, throughout his
tenure as Fifth District Supervisor. From
his tireless advocacy to build the Mckin-
leyville Sheriff Substation, where we now
have 11 deputies now serving our northern
district, when we had but only two before,
to his work on the California Coastal Com-
mission and EPA Local Advisory Commit-
tee, Sundberg has proven and delivered on
his obligation to keep our streets and envi-
ronment safe and clean.
His opponent, on the other hand, while
offering promises of fresh ideas, offers no
solutions as to how he would implement
them. Sound familiar?
Sundberg has proven he gets and deliv-
ers results. From making McKinleyville’s
Central Avenue wider and safer, to orga-
nizing and participating in neighborhood
trash patrols, Sundberg’s hard work and
dedication to serving all of the citizens
of the Fifth District, has proven that he
is more than deserving of our continued
support. I urge you all to vote for Ryan
Sundberg June 5!

Sundberg’s dismal CC record
Ryan Sundberg often refers to his seat
on the California Coastal Commission as a
reason to re-elect him as Fifth District Su-
pervisor. However, what he doesn’t tell you
is that he has the worst voting record on
the current Commission when it comes to
coastal access and preservation.
For 20 years, Act Coastal has been is-
suing an annual report card on how each
Commissioner voted on “the most signifi-
cant permit applications and enforcement
actions considered by the Commission.”
Act Coastal (a project of the Surfrider
Foundation, WILDCOAST, and Environ-
ment California) selected 21 votes to score
in 2017, of which 16 had “good” conser-
vation outcomes and only five had “bad”
ones. The overall average score among
the 12 Commissioners during 2017 was 72
percent.
Sundberg was appointed by Governor
Jerry Brown in March 2017 to fill a seat
reserved for a North Coast representative.
Since Ryan was not a Commission mem-
ber for all of 2017, he had fewer votes, of
which 5 were judged as “pro-Coast” and 6
were considered “anti-conservation,” giv-
ing him an average score of 45 percent.
Thus, he voted more than half of the time
against coastal conservation and the pub-
lic interest.
Before Sundberg’s appointment, the seat
most recently was filled by Del Norte Su-
pervisor Martha McClure (for 6 years) and
Humboldt’s Bonnie Neely (for 12 years),
until each lost an election and had to be
replaced. Since that seat is reserved for a
North Coast representative, a loss by Ryan
in the June 5 election does not necessarily
mean that Humboldt County would lose a
voice on the Coastal Commission. And it
could mean that we get someone who bet-
ter represents the majority of Humboldt
County residents when voting on import-
ant coastal issues.

No dirty tactics
As a longtime business owner and res-
ident of the Fifth District, I urge everyone
to support Ryan Sundberg for Supervisor.
Ryan grew up in Humboldt County, at-
tended local schools, and graduated with a
Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administra-
tion from Humboldt State University. Ryan
and his wife Kim, who was also born and
raised here, have chosen to stay and raise
their daughter Sofie in the Fifth District.
It has been very difficult to watch sup-
porters of his opponent sling exaggera-
tions, half-truths, and outright lies about
Ryan while Ryan continues to campaign
honorably, demonstrating his commitment
to resident and community interests.
Clearly Madrone attracts and caters to
individuals comfortable with dirty tactics
– tactics Ryan has consistently choses not
to use.
We should not, and cannot, trust anyone
else to represent our district.
Please join me in voting for Ryan Sund-
berg as Fifth District Supervisor on June 5.

Tax | ‘We can’t go down this road’

FROM A1
Counties (CSAC), which
proposes a position of sup-
port for the bill.
Although Bohn has res-
ervations about taxing
water, he described it as a
means of paying for water
treatment upgrades that
Hispanic communities in

the Central Valley can’t af-
ford.
“And we pay for wa-
ter now, I pay for it every
month,” he said.
Fennell dismissed the
concept of water taxation,
however. “We can’t go
down this road of taxing
the necessities of life,” she
said. “We don’t tax food,
let’s not tax water, that’s
even more important than
food – what next, are we
going to tax air? I mean,
come on.”
Board Chair Ryan Sund-
berg agreed with Fennell’s
comments and Wilson said
he’s “a bit conflicted.”
Wilson said Humboldt
also has disadvantaged
communities but it’s un-
certain whether most rural
counties would have access
to the tax funding because
the bill doesn’t specify what
defines eligibility.
Supervisors took no ac-
tion on developing a stance
on the bill but directed
Fennell to summarize the
discussion’s content to
CSAC.

O
ne of the best qualities of the City of Blue Lake
is that it is a small community, where everyone
knows pretty much everyone. Being small can
also be seen as an obstacle for small towns at times, and
we have had our share of obstacles – no coffee shop for
the past year or so has been one of those. I know, it may
seem like a little thing, maybe even a
First World problem, but in our little
town, someone saw this need, and
had a dream to fill it.
On Friday morning, May 18 I
stopped in to the Mad River Grange
at 7 a.m. for the first day of “Coffee
Club,” where I was greeted with the
smiling faces of Sarah Finestone and
her friend Sean Stanford Graves with
hot brewed coffee in hand.
Sean will gladly educate you on the
many types of coffee, and provide a
special pour if you care to sit and enjoy your coffee in
house. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time that morning to
sit and chat like I really wanted, so I brought my to-go
cup and filled it with the local dark roast already brewed,
grabbed a strawberry scone (baked by Sarah herself),
and donated a few bucks to the cause.
The scone was so amazing; I ended up going back
30 minutes later to pick up another! When I walked in
during my first time, there was already a couple people
sitting, drinking coffee and learning from Sean, but the
second time I walked in, there was a nice bustle of people
around, grabbing food or coffee, chatting with each oth-
er, and laughing, smiling, sharing in something special.
You see, it’s not that we needed a coffee shop in Blue
Lake because we need the upscale, fancy, “fru-fru,” elitist
coffee, but rather because we as human beings are social
creatures, and a coffee shop gives that outlet to mingle
with the community, and in a place the size of Blue Lake,
this is an important way to get to know our neighbors.
Coffee Club will generally take place on Fridays at 7
a.m. at the Mad River Grange, located at 110 Hatchery
Rd. in Blue Lake. There will be a couple weeks that it will
be closed in June, those dates have yet to be determined,
and then a large, grand opening will be scheduled some-
time in July! So come on out Blue Lakers and beyond,
and meet some new friends in our sweet town.

At the market | Now with compostable bags

FROM B1
Waste effort. “Zero Waste is part of our
mission. We have given a guide to Zero
Waste to all our vendors,” she said. “Lit-
tle River Farm and Beck’s Bakery are us-
ing fully compostable bags, even though
it costs them more money. And I take the
compostable bag home, put my greens into
a container, then use the bag as a liner for
my kitchen compost. When it is full, just
tie up the bag and throw the whole thing
into your compost bin.”
We both smiled at the idea of not hav-
ing to scrub out the icky compost contain-
er in the kitchen.
North did remind shoppers that the
compostable bags do not keep produce
fresh as long as plastic bags do, so trans-
ferring the produce into containers at
home is important.
John Severn of Little River Farm, who
sells those beautiful salad mixes and
greens at the northeast corner of the Plaza,
has been at the market since 1999. “Years
ago, I saw the plastic island in the ocean
online. I think it is as big as Texas now,”
he said.
Even the bags cost him up to 25 cents a
piece, depending on how big a quantity he
orders, it is his strong belief that he has to
help in any way he can. “There’s no way to
sell my product without some packaging,”
he said. The bags are 100 percent biode-
gradable and other vendors have been ask-
ing him about them.
So, getting ready to go to the Saturday
market? Got your basket? Check. Reus-
able tote bag? Check. Mug for a hot drink?
Check. Stop by and say thanks to the folks
at Beck’s Bakery and Little River Farm.
And give that hardworking Lily Farrell a
thumbs up for a job well done!
