Editor: It’s almost fair time (“Supes Pony Up $1 Million in Effort to Save Horse Racing at the Fair,” July 6)! There are dozens of ADA access barriers that the fair board has neglected to take care of. The paved parking area at the front entrance of the Humboldt County Fairgrounds has “HCFA Director Parking” […]

Editor: I always read Elaine Weinreb. I count on her broad vision and grasp of detail to inform my understanding of life in Humboldt. I also appreciate NCJ’s recent knowledgeable and penetrating letters to the editor on Elaine’s July 27 article “Port of Entry,” underscoring the complexities of what would otherwise seem an enticing win for carbon reduction and […]

Editor: Arcata residents, please make your voices heard! I have been talking with people for almost two years now about the Gateway Plan and the effects it will have on our small city and am constantly shocked by how few people know what is going on (Mailbox, July 27). There are multiple aspects of the […]

Editor: My dancing feet are so happy to have the music grid back in the paper again (Nightlife, Aug. 10). No more missed shows! Robbin Kohn, Arcata

Since that time we have strived to be the very best in doggy daycare and boarding for Humboldt County. We have been remarkably humbled by your response and want to take the […]

Editor: In your article “Hunger in Humboldt” (July 20) it’s mentioned that Food for People serves 16,000 people. The number of people who could use their help is probably at least triple that. Many people won’t go to the food bank because of pride, convenience, hoping things will get better or just adding it to […]

Editor: An interesting article, however salient points were omitted (“Port of Entry,” July 27). The Biden administration’s optimistic timeline cannot be met. There are no steel manufacturers in the U.S. that can make the steel necessary for the towers. Same with ship builders, suppliers of raw materials, etc. The U.S. must compete in the international […]

Editor: I read with great interest “Port of Entry,” the excellent article by Elaine Weinreb about the proposed offshore wind farm. At one point, the article says that the Harbor District has signed an “exclusive right to negotiate agreement” with Crowley Maritime Co., which builds and manages ports. Thinking that I had recently seen some […]
