It’s hard to imagine these overflow problems being stopped anytime soon. I remember Arcata having overflow spills into the Bay 20 years ago. It’s unfortunate to hear that things haven’t …

Why? If you read the article, you see that everyone errs on the side of safety; for the oyster growers it can be to their detriment.

That looks like one of the birds that chirps in my trees. Some have yellow bellies and some, like this one, don’t. I enjoy bird songs. 😊

So, 1st I heard it through a guy who drives waste from Eureka to 2 hours away twice a day. He said 2 trucks are doing this twice a day. …

I dunno if this is 100% fair.I know there is a Fortuna contingency that clings a little too tightly to its vision of the place as a small-town haven, a …

Also, Vander meer wasn’t present, did not give a Zoom presentation or anything other than a “I can’t make it today” conveyed to Wilson that he mentioned. Yet was nominated. …
