– PROGRAMMING NOTE. Tomorrow morning on KSLG: Former Eureka Police Chief Garr Nielsen, who was unceremoniously dumped last week after four years of widely lauded service to the city. Nielsen, speaking from his home in the Portland area, will talk with John Matthews at 9 a.m. This is going to be a good one, so definitely tune in: 94.1 FM or streaming online at kslg.com.

– Meanwhile, supporters of the former chief will gather tonight at Eureka Vets’ Hall (10^th & H streets) at 6 p.m. tonight. The purpose, former EKA City Councilmember Larry Glass tells the Times-Standard, will be to “rally the troops together, plan a course of action and take input from the whole community about this decision.”

– If you missed Kym Kemp’s superb story on alleged Fortuna fraudstress Delores Reeves, you should rectify that right now. 

— Willow Creek’s massively successful efforts to make a city street out of Hwy 299 are profiled at length in The Daily Yonder, a website devoted to rural living published by the Center for Rural Strategies.

– See those QR codes in the right-hand column of every Lost Coast Outpost page? That’s one ugly inkblot, eh? But if you’re so inclined, you can snap a photo of it with your QR-enabled phone app and get a link to that very page, and it could be useful for texting a link to someone or otherwise sharing it on Twitter, etc. Who knows. We thought we’d give it a spin.

– Thanks so much to Jennifer Savage, Mike Dronkers and Patrick Cleary for helping hold down the LoCO during my Oregon vacation last week. We had a great time, thank you very much. Turns out Portland and Eureka are very different kinds of places, as Garr Nielsen may attest.
