‘Kudos to All’
Editor: Big shout out to our Humboldt County Supervisors Natalie Arroyo, Rex Bohn, Michelle Bushnell, Steve Madrone and Mike Wilson for bringing Justin Zabel’s brainchild, The Rumble Over the Redwoods air show, successfully to our community (Calendar, Aug. 8). Kudos to all. As this marvelous event unfolded last weekend, many in the horse community were […]

‘More Equal Than Others’
Editor: A fair amount of letters submitted decries, in my view and others, the heavy handed response to the protests at Cal Poly and ads supporting said response (Mailbox, Aug. 22). The problem is that most of those mentioned are elected positions. They can be voted out of office. The electorate, without the benefit of our […]

‘Too Bad’
Editor: I am really pleased to see your report “Humboldt Cannabis Wins Big at Fair” (Aug. 15). It points to the glory awaiting our county and its rightfully premier industry! Too bad, though, your paper has bypassed the many growers, licensed and not, who pump out of creeks nights and weekends, run big but ignored […]

‘Back into the Sunlight’
Editor: Thank you for the epic tale of Aaron Bjorkstrand (“Freeing Aaron Bjorkstrand,” Aug. 22). The lawyers in the Humboldt County Public Defender’s Office are like the heroes of Greek myths who toil endlessly to drag a soul up from the grim kingdom of Hades, back into the sunlight. Both time and space have a […]

‘A Lifetime Lesson’
Editor: I give tours at Humboldt Botanical Garden to groups of seniors, families, school summer camp, sorority sisters, horticulture and science societies, visitors from around the world, college students, cruise ship tourists and one 100-year-old lady’s birthday outing with her family (Calendar, Aug. 22). I get many warm appreciative comments at the gate as I […]

Yolla Bolly Song
How good to rest in mountain light. By tumbling brook and jagged mount. The war torn cities far below Know nothing of a world so right. How good to feel the june-warm sun, The cool caress of mountain breeze, As tired muscles and mind unwind And life’s illusions are undone. How good to watch the […]

‘Pretend Warfare’
Editor: As a retired pilot, I have an interest in aircraft technology, and I also appreciate the historical value of the military relics which made up the greater part of the Rumble Over the Redwoods air show (Calendar, Aug. 8). So, I have no issue with air shows in general, despite their presumably huge carbon […]

‘Vindicates’
Editor: “Regrettably Deficient,” the title of Thadeus Greenson’s article in the Aug. 1 NCJ taken from the report by the OIR Group, the independent Eureka police oversight group, regarding the Cal Poly Humboldt’s administration’s heavy-handed response to the students who wanted Cal Poly to divest from involvement with Israel as it carries out what the […]
