California Put Up $1 Million to Watch the Coast Through El Niño. Nobody on the Mendocino Coast Asked for Any of It.

The last time the ocean off Northern California looked like this, a marine heat wave and an El Niño wiped out most of the North Coast’s bull kelp, and the state’s own staff report says this year closely matches that stretch from 2014 to 2016. The California...

Another voice …The long-delayed end of an era

After years of controversy, mismanagement, incompetence, tens of millions of unaccountable pot permit fees and tax dollars dumped into the general fund in contradiction to what the voters said they wanted it to go to, many more consultant and permit prep dollars, much frustration (especially by, but not limited to, pot permit applicants), hundreds of useless meetings, lots of lawyers and self-made “consultants,” and frequent managerial turnover, Mendocino County is finally (and ignominiously and quietly) admitting the obvious and giving up on the idea of having an official Cannabis Program Manager.

Pets of the week: Rosie and Mack

Meet Rosie! Rosie is a three year old domestic shorthair. In her time at the shelter, this sweet and sassy girl has made great strides to come out of her shell. She likes to stretch her claws on her scratching posts and sleep in her hidey-hole. Rosie has been known to give love bites to her friends when she is happy. Rosie is very treat motivated and will gladly emerge from her naps to partake in a bite to eat. Rosie lived with other cats in her previous home and has done well with other cats at the shelter, but she would doubtless be very comfortable as someone’s only cat. Due to her shy nature, Rosie would likely be best suited for a home without dogs. She has had limited interactions with small children during her time at the shelter. Rosie’s adoption fee is $100.00. Come and meet Rosie today!

PG&E gets conditional OK to drill into Mendocino County's Cape Horn dam

Federal regulators are still reviewing PG&E's request to give up the license and remove the dams. photo credit: Kyle Schwartz/Cal Trout via Bay City News The Cape Horn dam on the Eel River in Mendocino County, a source of water for the Russian River. PG&E has a conditional OK to drill into Cape Horn Dam on the Eel River, one of two dams in Mendocino County it wants to tear down. The holes will test the dam, the ground under it and the river sediment that has built up behind it, according to records filed with state and federal dam regulators. Cape Horn Dam holds back Van Arsdale Reservoir. An intake 400 feet upstream of the dam takes in Eel River water. The water runs through the Potter Valley Project's tunnels to the East Fork of the Russian River, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. PG&E has asked the commission, known as FERC, to let it give up its license for the project and remove both Cape Horn and Scott dams. It would keep only the parts of Cape Horn needed for a new diversion, the New Eel-Russian Facility. In a May planning document, FERC staff wrote that removing

Ukiah church serves up gratitude at annual appetizer competition

Nestled on the table among mossy logs and little forest creatures, Amy and Marti Aikman’s stuffed mushrooms were the entry to challenge. The Aikman’s have won first prize for three years in a row in the Ukiah United Methodist Church’s Attitude of Gratitude Appetizer Competition held last Saturday at the church. Attendees at this fun-filled fundraiser were the judges of twelve different offerings from the assembled chefs, ranging from smoked pulled pork sliders and baby back ribs to a variety of delectable crostini. The judges once again voted for the stuffed mushrooms, with Beverly Williams and Sandy Ford’s Hot Artichoke Dip and Geraldo Ramirez and Josh Small’s “Mystery Appetizer” tied for the next prize. But, Vivian White’s modestly named “Lettuce Wraps” won top honors for the event this year.
