A Humboldt County woman with a prescription for medical marijuana will serve time after pleading guilty in Idaho to one count of drug possession and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police didn’t find any bad guys when they investigated a possible burglary at a home on the 1200 block of Grant Avenue, but they did find more than 50 marijuana plants growing in the home.
Speaking of conspiracy theories — like the one about 9/11 as recently discussed in comments on this blog — former Minnesota Governor Jesse “The Body” Ventura will be live with John Matthews tomorrow morning on KSLG to discuss his new book American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies that the Government Tells Us. Tune in at 7:30am.
Ventura was recently censored by the Huffington Post for an article he wrote on 9/11, but the piece was republished here (excerpt below).
You didn’t see anything about it in the mainstream media, but at a recent conference in San Francisco, more than 1,000 architects and engineers signed a petition demanding that Congress begin a new investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9-11.
That’s right, these people put their reputations in potential jeopardy — because they don’t buy the government’s version of events. They want to know how 200,000 tons of steel disintegrated and fell to the ground in 11 seconds. They question whether the hijacked planes were responsible or whether it could have been a controlled demolition from inside that brought down the twin towers and WTC Building 7.
The City of Eureka is #76 in a top 100 list of best places to retire. The Humboldt County seat fared slightly better than Albuquerque, NM (#77) but not as good as Hendersonville, NC (#75).
Asheville, NC landed the #1 spot while La Jolla, CA grabbed the lists only 3-digit rank.
Walk your world: The creek beckons [Daily Triplicate]
Waterside path doesn’t scrimp on redwoods, but it’s short one bridge
Are you going to let a little thing like a ravine stop you?
Until state parks workers replace a bridge that was removed a couple
of years ago on South Mill Creek Trail, that’s the pivotal question
facing hikers of this route.
A bright red trailhead sign gives the state parks’ take on the matter: “Not a through trail,” “no crossing available.”
Prudent information, as it turned out. Laura and I did work our way
across the currently unbridged tributary, but it was a bit of a
scramble with the potential to get wet, so it’s not for everyone.
The Arcata City Council on Wednesday will consider potential projects to submit for state grant funding. The city plans to apply for funding through the state Community Development Block Grant program.
An environmental group is hoping to stop the diversion of water through the Potter Valley tunnel from the Eel River and pending frost water regulations.
Not sure just how revealing this speech Mike Hislop recently gave at the Fortuna Rotary is. It doesn’t seem he’s that good of a public speaker so it’s hard to understand some of what he’s saying. I can’t pick on him for that since I’m a horrific public speaker myself, but some of the stuff he says just seems odd to me.
From the Humboldt Herald inbox. Apparently it came from Florida.
There will be a change of the landscape in the “war on drugs”. The fight will no longer be with state and federal law makers. It will be with importers and growers of foreign product and domestic mass producing corporate farms. We need to protect the “home grown” crop from foreign invaders and corporate raiders. The only way to do this is by organizing. We would be idiots to think that tobacco and alcohol aren’t sitting on the sidelines waiting to stake their claim in the billion dollar marijuana industry. These people have a ready built distribution network and millions of dollars in advertising funds. There is nothing that can be done to stop them. A page should be taken from the beer and wine industry and offer boutique products like the small craft brewery’s and vineyard’s. For the small time farmers breaking into the market by themselves will be nearly impossible. That is why we created the MGAA. The association web site will be a place to show case your products to buyers and distributors on a national level. We look forward to your comments and thoughts.

New plan eyed for Beachfront Park [Daily Triplicate]
Planning Commission begins consideration of possible amenities
A new plan is in the works for Crescent City’s Beachfront Park, though
it might take awhile before anyone really notices any changes.
Crescent City Planning Commission members will discuss a new master
plan for the park today, and be asked to complete a survey that
citizens will eventually have an opportunity to fill out to give
officials an idea of what they would like to see included in a
potential redesign of the Front Street green space.
Arcata Eye – Responding to concerns about economic and public safety impacts expressed by Arcata business and government, PG&E has modified its plans for this weekend’s planned power outage. Tuesday morning, City officials and PG&E personnel gathered at City Hall to exchange details on areas affected, the outage’s expected duration and to coordinate response.
Ukiah’s historic train depot is restored to its former glory following an eight-year renovation that is just a few details shy of complete. City officials now are seeking a tenant or tenants for the 1929 Colonial Revival-style building.
Quasi will play at the HSU Depot this Tuesday, March 9, at 9 p.m. with openers, and Kill Rock Stars label-mates, Explode into Colors. There is a $5 general cover and the show is free for HSU students with their current student I.D.
Two bodies found Thursday down an embankment in Lake County have been identified as the remains of a Maine couple who disappeared in January from Clearlake, where they had been hired to work in a marijuana growing operation, law authorities said Monday.
Humboldt County is Finding Christ. Last night my husband presented a seminar on Salvation. It was the fourth night of our seminar and after some catchy presentations with great Power Point slides, he choose to present the gospel message …
