Crescent City, CA

Tunnel could be used to fix Last Chance Grade

By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate

Last Chance Grade, a portion of highway nine miles south of Crescent City that’s steadily eroded and required $85 million in repairs since 1997, may be decommissioned so a $1.3 billion tunnel located away from the slide area can take its place.

That’s according to Jaime Matteoli, the Caltrans District 1 representative who provided an update to the Crescent City Council on Nov. 29.

“You either accept it and you manage it - and that’s what we’ve been doing and all the stakeholders have been saying that’s not acceptable - or you avoid the landslide completely,” Matteoli said.

The tunnel, if built, would be about 10,000 feet long and would take until 2038 to complete.

“This is the higher cost alternative, but it would have lower risk,” Matteoli said. “We found that this tunnel alternative is the best way to avoid all the landslides.”

Though Matteoli seemed to

suggest the tunnel is the best alternative, Caltrans is still in the process of receiving comments from stakeholders, and is currently in the process of creating an environmental impact report that’s anticipated to be completed in 2022.

The EIR, dubbed the “Last Chance Grade Permanent Restoration Project,” will include two alternatives.

The first is Alternative X, which would involve reengineering the existing roadway. Within a portion of Alternative X, the

roadway would retreat inland to the east by about 130 feet, and would involve the construction of a series of retaining walls to minimize the potential for landslides on the roadway.

Drainage improvements may also be required.

Alternative F would include the tunnel, which would travel inland from the existing roadway near milepost 14.06 and reconnect to US Highway 101 at milepost 15.5.

The EIR will also study a “No Project Alternative” - which

would entail no long-term alternatives and would be a continuation of ongoing maintenance and repairs.

For information about the project, visit www.lastchancegrade.com.

Members of the public are asked to comment on the project, though input must be received by 5 p.m. Dec. 6. Comments can be emailed to scopingcomments@ lastchancegrade.com, or can be mailed to Caltrans District 1, Attn: Steve Croteau, 1656 Union Street, Eureka, CA 95501.

Jury sides with Humane Society in land dispute

By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate

A contract dispute between Worm’s Nursery and the Humane Society of Del Norte (HSDN) was recently decided by a jury, which awarded HSDN $5,000 in damages and may lead to the eviction of Worm’s Nursery.

However, Patrick Corbin, the owner of Worm’s Nursery, said he plans to appeal the decision to the 1st District in San Francisco.

The dispute involved whether the parties had entered into a contract that would have allowed Worm’s nursery to purchase the property it sits on, as well as what to do about a

non-permitted greenhouse.

The jury’s unanimous decision also opened up the possibility for HSDN to pursue legal fee reimbursements from Corbin.

“We are working on having him leave for breach of contract,” said Eileen Bennett, vice president of the Humane Society, the on-site manager

and a tenant of a mobile home that sits on the property within the Bertsch-Oceanview track in Crescent City.

Corbin replied he is looking for another location for his business, but the legal battle will continue.

Baird Rumiano, president of Rumiano Cheese Company, announced the Crescent City business was raising money to provide scholarships to students at Del Norte High School as well as Takata High School in Japan.

Cheese company raises money for sister city scholarships

By Diana Bosetti The Triplicate

Exchange scholarships will be given by the Rumiano Cheese Company to high school students from Del Norte High School in Crescent City, and Takata High School in Rikuzentakata, Japan.

“Some of the money has already been distributed to the Japanese Club at Del Norte High School,” said Baird Rumiano, president of the company, whose great-grandfather started the business in the early 1900s.

By the first weekend in December, Rumiano said he anticipates they will reach their $10,000 goal for the scholarship program, which started earlier this year and will benefit four students total.

“We sold 24 boxes of our Kamome Chef Box on Friday (Nov. 26),” Rumiano said.

Rumiano added between those boxes and sales throughout the year that use salt from Rikuzentakata, Japan on some of its cheese, the company had reached the halfway mark. The remaining 76

boxes, which retail for $95 a piece, are likely to sell out by Dec. 5.

Rumiano said they decided to implement the program in honor of the friendship the two cities developed after a Rikuzentakata boat washed ashore in Crescent City in April, 2013.

The boat was the property of Takata High School, but dislodged two years prior during a major earthquake in Japan - the effects of which caused a tsunami in Crescent City and caused significant damage to the harbor.

renovated the boat and returned it to the high school later that year, and the high schools have continued their relationship since.

“We are getting ready to make some more of the same cheese for next year, so we’ll be able to make this an annual Christmas gift,” Rumiano said.

Rumiano Cheese Company is headquartered out of Crescent City and has about 45 employees here, and also has a 46,766 square-foot plant in Willows, California, which has about 150 employees.

The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors will make its final vote about how to redistrict supervisorial districts Dec. 14.

A few weeks ago, the Advisory Redistricting Commission created four draft maps based on the 2020 Census, and one of those drafts must be approved and submitted to the redistricting commission by Dec. 15.

During previous workshops, most members of the public and a majority of the supervisors expressed support for the first of four draft maps because it most closely resembles current district boundaries.

“I believe that map series one would give residents near equal representation,” Henry Geiger, a resident of District 5, stated in a letter that was read into the record at the last workshop.

“I just want to reiterate that I think map series one is the best,” agreed Karen Sanders.

“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. I also think that with map three the poor supervisor would have to be at every place all the time and it would be too much.”

Draft map three encompasses the communities of Klamath, Gasquet, and Hiouchi. Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation, the Yurok Tribe, Resighini Rancheria and Elk Valley Rancheria are also all in one district “As you know, the school board is looking at redistricting as well, and map series 3 - that’s just a huge thing and I would probably suggest not adopting/using that map,” said Angela Greenough, who represents District Two and is president of the Del Norte Unified School District Board.

Greenough added that she believes the communities of north and south Del Norte are different from one another, and “as we know, even with schools those are just two completely different areas. At the end we are all Del Norter’s, but they have different needs and different land issues,” Greenough said.

The public will be able to provide more input at the Dec. 14 meeting, which will be held at 11 a.m. at the Flynn Administrative Center located at 981 H Street in Crescent City. Zoom and Web meeting links can also be found at the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors website. The proposed maps and additional information can be found at https://www.co.del-norte.ca.us/ departments/redistricting.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Land Dispute From Page A1 “At trial, local Judge (Darren) McElfresh apparently didn’t want to make an unpopular decision, so he refused to decide certain matters that the law requires the court to decide prior to involving a jury,” Corbin said in a written statement.

“Instead, Judge McElfresh allowed the jury to decide something only a judge can decide,” added Corbin. “The jury was then misled to believe they could reach their verdict based on sympathy for the Humane Society instead of basing their verdict on California contract law. I don’t think it was a coincidence that Judge McElfresh gave this unlawful advantage to his close buddy, George Mavris.

The result is a verdict that contradicts California law and deprives me of my protected right to a fair and impartial trial.”

Mavris represented HSDN, but was not available for comment.

The dispute between the two parties started about three years ago, though for nearly six years Corbin and HSDN appeared to have a working relationship that was established under a March, 2013 lease contract.

The lease allowed Corbin to rent a metal-pole barn for storage for six months, followed by a month-to-month tenancy. In late 2013, the two parties started to talk about splitting the property so that Corbin could purchase 3 acres from HSDN for his business.

On Oct. 21, 2015, HSDN drafted a document that offered to sell to Corbin the metal pole barn (which by that time Worm’s Nursery was operating a retail business out of); a double-wide trailer (which Bennett and her partner, Jason Northrip live in), as well as three acres of open land.

The document, which was signed by four parties that included Corbin and Bennett, stipulated that Corbin would pay up to $10,000 for a property split, plus $135,000 for the land and two structures.

In 2017, Corbin paid $7,000 (half the bill) so that Killops Land Surveying in Smith River could perform the split.

However, a separate property split involving a tenant located at the base of the property off Elk Valley Road had to occur first.

While they waited, relationships started to sour.

“I was his (Corbin’s) office manager and the onsite manager (for HSDN), and I would have stayed in the rental - which would have been perfect for both parties,” Bennett said.

“But when I stopped working up there (at Worm’s Nursery) for health issues, everything started to get ugly and he told our board president once he started buying the place that he was kicking me out.”

Northrip, who said

he had a key to Worm’s Nursery, said the situation escalated further about five months later.

“I went to feed his cats and noticed the lock’s had been changed,” Northrip said.

In December 2018, a week before the land split was finally completed, HSDN’s board of directors sent a letter to Corbin stating that it no longer wished to sell its property, and returned his $7,000 plus one-percent interest.

“The agreement was entered into based on certain assumptions,” the letter stated. “We entered into our conditional agreement to sell believing that the tenant currently residing in the residence located on the property would become your tenant and continue the tenancy.”

According to Bennett, her lease agreement with HSDN to occupy the trailer does not expire until 2034.

The letter also stated that the Del Norte County Community Development Department required, under a Home Enterprise Use Permit, that the home either be occupied by Corbin, or whoever manages Worm’s Nursery.

“It has become evident that his arrangement is not possible and therefore, it is no longer feasible to complete the conditional sale,” the same letter stated.

Four months later, Corbin informed the board of directors of HSDN of his intent to sue, and on June 12 a complaint was filed with the court.

“They decided that they wanted to keep the property and benefit from the numerous improvements to the property accomplished by the plaintiff,” stated Corbin’s legal complaint.

According to the same document, Corbin did not pursue other parcels of land for his business, and “made numerous upgrades to the property for the purpose of making it more useful for his business.”

Next to the metal pole barn, Corbin built a large greenhouse that included water and power lines. The complaint contended that a loss of business and cost of moving would result in a loss of about $90,000.

However, HSDN countered in a cross complaint that the original lease continued to be the governing document, and as such Corbin broke two of its conditions: Opening a retail business and constructing the large greenhouse without written approval from HSDN. “Worm’s nursery started with a lease to rent that building as storage,” Bennett said. “He did talk

about running a business here, but at that point we had a realtor who was doing the lease with him and it was up to him as a business owner to modify the lease for anything beyond storage.”

Bennett added that Corbin did not obtain a building permit from the Del Norte County Code Enforcement Department to build the greenhouse.

Further complicating the issue, Bennett said, is that in order to disassemble the greenhouse an engineer would need to be hired.

“That is correct, a demolition permit would be needed to take it down,” said Heidi Kunstal, who was subpoenaed to testify at the trial and works as community development director for Del Norte County.

Kunstal added during an interview with the Triplicate that HSDN is the property owner, so it’s up to them to determine what to do about the greenhouse - including hiring a county inspector to determine proper removal procedures.

“It would be about $600 for the engineer,” said Bennett. “That’s what we asked for, but they (the

Photos by Diana Bosetti/The Triplicate

The greenhouse at Worm’s Nursery was a key element in the lawsuit. jury) wanted to know if they could award us more and that’s where the $5,000 came from.”

Corbin countered, saying the jury verdict was tainted.

“Some members of the Humane Society did everything they could to taint the jury pool,” Corbin said.

Minutes obtained from Del Norte Superior Court state that the jury deliberated for about two hours, and returned with the following findings: 1) Corbin and HSDN entered into a com-

mercial lease agreement, 2) HSDN would receive $5,000 in damages due to the non-permitted greenhouse, and 3) Corbin and HSDN did not enter into a land sale contract where “contract terms were clear enough so that parties could understand what each was required to do.”

According to Bennett, the next step is requesting indemnification for their legal fees, as well as an eviction.

“Our most recent (legal) bill is for $32,000, and

that’s only for the month of November,” Bennett said.

However, it doesn’t appear the dispute will come to a close any time soon.

“By the time it went to trial, it never should’ve been heard in this County,” Corbin said. “I don’t really blame the judge for not wanting to make an unpopular decision, but he should’ve just disqualified himself instead of making substantial legal errors at great personal cost to me. I intend to challenge the matter in the First District Court of Appeal.”

A backroad journey through time

By Dennis Hinkamp

Moab on a mid-fall weeknight was full.

All the motels, RV parks and tents sites had “no vacancy” notices. Every food provider from Denny’s to the organic, locally-sourced artisan places had limited hours and limited menus due to lack of staff or food shortages.

On the southernmost tip of Utah, things got worse. There was no avocado toast left at the Kanab Creek Bakery. At the news, vegans and foodies looked visibly wan.

The staff feigned patience. I settled for coffee that oddly came from being roasted at the extreme north end of the state, in Logan, Utah.

This felt like what travel has become these days – lots of tourists, strained services, and everywhere, Help Wanted signs.

And weekdays didn’t seem mainly for retired people. We got to Chaco Canyon National Park on a Tuesday afternoon, and the campground there was sold out.

Fall used to be shoulder, or at least elbow season; kids were back in school, people commuting to work, some campgrounds closed, and some attractions boarded up. In the few all-season campgrounds, you had your pick of sites. The pandemic problematic abnormal has changed that, and now there are rearrangements of everything everywhere.

Tanja, who spells it that way, let us in the Circleville, Utah, RV Park and Kountry Store for free. “It’s my campground and I can do what I want,” she said before making her rounds on her ATV. The Cottonwood RV Park in Bluff, Utah, was not free and ready to close for the season. It’s near the Navaho Nation and many people were wearing masks.

Nancy, the manager, tells us from a safe distance that she personally knew 40 people who died of COVID-19 in the in the last two years. She also gave us directions to the semi-secret petroglyph panels in Bears Ears National Monument; the same panels that the Friends of Cedar Mesa group would not mention.

Other things seemed normal. By the sounds of the accents on the sidewalks complaining about Utah coffee and liquor laws, European, Asian and Florida tourists appear to be back. Canadians were also back in their massive RVs, taking all our prime campsites and feasting on the cheap American electrical hook-ups at the RV resorts.

A lot of people bought a lot of decked-

Dennis Hinkamp out adventure vans and pricey travel trailers during the pandemic, probably so they could have their own bathrooms.

Whether they will be a passing pandemic fancy remains to be seen, but more people were taking to the back roads.

Travelers through the rural West could still find quirky or sacred things of more recent history than petroglyphs. I wanted us to visit the former mining town of Tonopah, Nevada, not least because it was the terminus of the country song “Willin’” - “Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonopah” is one of its memorable lines.

Wandering among headstones, we realized that the current pandemic’s death toll had historic echoes of loss. Unlike most cemeteries, the one in Tonopah lists not just the year but also the cause of death. Historical society volunteers told us that although the tintype epitaphs are relatively new, they were reasonably accurate, based on death certificate records and the way death was described in the early twentieth century.

Cemeteries often tell fascinating stories; this one seemed to specialize in blunt facts about sudden deaths: A father died in a mine fire. His daughter, born two months later, died after one day. I can’t imagine the grief of the widow and mother.

I don’t believe in ghosts, just the bits of untold stories that leave you wanting more information. In another graveyard epitaph, “Life became a burden” was the only explanation for a woman’s death, the wording a euphemism for suicide a century or so ago. She was 30 and had come to the remote town from France. What was she doing in Tonopah and how did life become so brutal? Only ghosts know the true tale of these lives so quickly lived, just as quickly gone.

We moved on to another small town, wanderers through the West and its ever-repeating history.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren MOTHER DISLIKES SON FOR HIS RESEMBLANCE TO HER BROTHER DEAR ABBY: My 25-year-old son is a single father of three boys, 6, 4 and almost 3. They have been living with me, my youngest and my husband in a two-bedroom house for a while now, and I’m not happy with my life.

I enjoy my grandkids, but I don’t enjoy my son. He looks and acts like my older brother, who I never liked because he was mean and bullied me even as an adult. What can I say or do to get my son out, and how do I deal with my feelings toward him? I love him, but I don’t really like him. -- OVER IT IN NEW MEXICO DEAR OVER IT: If the only thing you have against your son is his strong physical resemblance to your brother -- whom you dislike for good reason -- you are being unfair to him. However, this is your home, and if the conditions are no longer pleasant for you, you have the right to change them. Give your son a reasonable deadline to find other living arrangements without alienating him, if that is possible. (Your living conditions ARE crowded right now, so your reason is valid.)

DEAR ABBY: I am the youngest of eight children. My oldest sibling, “Lois,” is 72. She is in the habit of returning “gifts” she says I gave to her as far back as 40 years ago. (She doesn’t want to deal with getting rid of the items herself.) I think this is extremely rude. Lois does this only with me and one other sister.

Most of the time, I don’t even remember the gift, or I already have one of the items. She’ll usually attach a “sweet” note to it to make me feel guilty for not keeping it. She will also send it to me via another family member. I try to tell her to pay it forward to someone who could use or enjoy the item, but she ignores me.

How do I get her to stop this? -- GIVE AND TAKE IN TEXAS DEAR GIVE AND TAKE: You can’t get Lois to stop, so stop trying. When it happens again, find the humor in it and donate the item to a thrift shop. (Or rewrap it and gift it to another relative for Christmas or a birthday.)

DEAR ABBY: Every day when I bring my lunch to work, one of my co-workers asks, “Hey, what are you eating?” I tell her and offer her some, and she accepts each and every time. This has been going on for weeks. While I’m not against sharing, I would like to enjoy my entire lunch. I think I’m being taken advantage of because I’m polite.

The last time she asked, I told her what I was eating, but did NOT offer her any.

Was that wrong? Should I be responsible for feeding her every day? Bear in mind that when she does it, she has already eaten her own lunch. -- HUNGRY IN THE SOUTH DEAR HUNGRY: During the pandemic, food sharing has become a no-no.

I wonder where you got the idea that because someone asks you what you’re eating it means you must offer to share it.

Now that you know your co-worker is a human vacuum cleaner, continue to just answer her question. If you do, I’m betting she will soon stop asking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Letter to the Editor Keep teens away from tobacco My Name is Ryan and I am a senior attending Del Norte High School. Tobacco industries target juveniles by using marketing strategies including advertisements of tobacco and nicotine products, using vibrant colors and unique flavors and putting these products in easily accessible spots.

Also, pharmacies shouldn’t sell tobacco products because it is misleading for places that promote health to sell these products that are harmful. The strategies these companies use make me feel very sad and upset because children, like me and my peers, are vulnerable and are at risk of falling into a vicious cycle of addiction.

I believe that it is important for teens to avoid smoking and vaping because it is harmful and they do not realize the long term effects of smoking. I want to encourage the community to learn more about the effects of tobacco and show support for prevention.

Ryan S. Crescent City

Tobacco impacts kids I am a senior at Del Norte High School.

I’m writing to you to highlight how tobacco impacts kids, like me and my peers.

On campus, I have noticed that students have been vaping in the bathrooms.

I think one of the reasons for this is due to the way the tobacco industry targets kids. By advertising with ads at eye level for youth, having tons of flavors that attract kids and advertising how cool it is to vape or smoke. It’s also counterintuitive that pharmacies sell tobacco products when it’s a place where people go to get healthier by buying medicine.

It’s also very important for children and teens to not use tobacco products because our brains are still developing. The nicotine and other chemicals in it can alter the brain chemistry, causing or making mental health issues worse. It’s common knowledge that tobacco use can cause health problems like cancer, lung, and heart problems. But, as kids, we may not know just how terrible these products are. I hope that adults will educate themselves and talk to kids about the dangers of these products so that they don’t regret vaping in the future.

Sincerely, Sriya J. Crescent City

How can we increase respect for law in America?

By Kimball Shinkoskey When we think about many Americans’ current dislike of law and law enforcement, we would do well to consider how history’s great lawgivers created respect for it.

Going back to one of the earliest known lawgivers, we find that Urukagina in Mesopotamia emphasized the need to write human rights into law, so that all could see the law’s helpfulness.

Moses of Israel wrote a law with an emphasis on broad distribution of wealth (land) and extensive citizen responsibilities, so that all could claim ownership in administration of the law.

He mandated annual citizen re-commitment to the original foundational law and legal education for all youth, so they could understand its purpose at a tender age. He said the law should be posted everywhere, even on houses and lands, and discussed continually.

Numa in early Rome established a firm devotion to the idea of peace in domestic and foreign affairs, thus obtaining the

assent of the great bulk of Roman families struggling to achieve goals of personal development, secure persons and property, and long-life.

Solon of Athens refused to align himself with one or the other of society’s two great socio-economic classes, so there could be no taint of favoritism in the law, and thus reason to object to it. He allowed no theft of the rightly obtained wealth of the landed folk, but provided debt relief for the oppressed poor.

Solon instituted an oath to defend and protect the constitutional law so all people would be on record as committed to it. He instituted an equitable justice system, so all people would want to be served by it. He wanted a law that “the gods would cheer.”

Muhammad of Arabia stressed that for law to be fully humane, the lawgiver must have a spiritual or ethical calling recognized by all, so the law is reflective of the highest values of nature and creation. In addition, there must come a literal judgment day, an impeachment or prosecu-

Alfred of England believed that the great bulk of the law must be administered on local levels, and public officials and police officials must be regularly held accountable for their misadventures. He established that leaders in law and government must be extremely knowledgeable in literature related to history, religion and government, so not easily reproached.

Thomas Jefferson demonstrated the correct way to resist tyranny in America. He did this by publishing grievances and proposing solutions in the Declaration of Independence. He also championed the role of higher education. Those who know more about life and society can better trust the law and know how to modify it when it is deficient.

Grant could provide fresh seafood to Crescent City

By Diana Bosetti

Local residents and restaurants may be able to buy seafood directly from commercial fishing vessels that come into the port if a Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant competition works out in Crescent City’s favor.

The Del Norte and Tribal Lands Community Food Council recently submitted a grant request for $300,000 that would allow the council to buy mobile fish processing units and the hiring of a part-time worker to manage the program.

“The key objective is to get locally-caught seafood into the belly of local residents,” said Amanda Hixson, food program director of the food council.

Each year, the Saltonstall-Kennedy Program, under the umbrella of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, allocates about $10 million to 40 projects across the U.S. The grant application falls into one of two categories: The first being more science based, and

Metro Creative Connection

If the grant is received, the project could evolve into a permanent building to allow for fish processing and the latter for technology that promotes the sustainability of U.S. seafood production and harvesting.

“A lot of what gets harvested here gets shipped off to far-away places,” said Hixson, adding that an MPU station would allow local fishermen to filet their products and sell them directly to consumers and local restaurants.

In November, the board of harbor commissioners approved a letter of commitment to be submitted with the grant, and

Grant to fund second school resource offiCrescent City received a $397,000 grant from the Department of Justice, which will be used to bring a second school resource officer to Del Norte Unified School District.

That’s according to City Manager Eric Wier, who added that monies will be enough to pay the salary and equipment costs for the position over a three-year period, and that Measure S funds may be used after that.

“We will work with Superintendent Jeff Harris to determine the best placement for the RNO, once that person is hired,” Wier said.

CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS Donald Ray Crawford Jr., 51, of Crescent City, was convicted of DUI and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and a fine of $1,864.

Trent Joseph Culleny, 58, of Sarasota, Floridam was convicted of DUI with higher than .15 blood alcohol and was sentenced three years probation, five days in jail and a fine of $1,864.

Gavin Spencer Scott, 46, of Crescent City, was convicted of assault by force likely to produce great bodily harm and drawing/exhibiting firearms and was sentenced to three years of probation, 90 days in jail and a fine of $360. In a second case, he was convicted of DUI and was sentenced to three years of probation, 90 days in jail and a fine of $220.

promised to set aside space near The Chart Room and Schmidt’s House of Jambalaya off Anchor Way for up to three mobile structures, each approximately the size of a standard shipping container. One structure would house the fish processing and retail operation and the other two would provide storage space for frozen products.

If the grant is received, the project could evolve into a permanent building to allow for fish processing and retail sales.

According to Hixson, the council probably won’t be notified about who will receive a grant until late next summer, and if awarded the project could go live as early as September 2022.

Dance Scene Photography Exhibition returns The Dance Scene Photography Exhibition returns for its fifh series of dance photography. December’s Arts Alive will be the exhibition’s premiere at the 208 C Street Studios in Old Town Eureka. There will be a selection of 100 new stunning dance photographs for the Arts Alive opening reception on Saturday, December 4, 2021 from 6 – 9 p.m.

This photography art show pairs ballet dancers with environments outside of their normal studio space. Finding unique Humboldt County locations is part of the appeal and also challenge of the project. Carrie Badeaux, the director of the project, works closely with the dancers to create a compelling body of work.

Removing dancers from the dance studio brings many captivating composition relationships. Five local dancers are featured: Brooke Grammer, Zaila Barba-Oliveri, Cain Towers, Carrie Badeaux, and Elizabeth Cable.

Elizabeth Cable com-

ments about viewing Humboldt County as an art conception with, “It was great to experience Eureka from an artistic perspective. Although I’ve walked by many of the murals, I had never thought of them as a backdrop for dance expression. Being involved in that process was a great honor.” The ongoing collaboration brought about venturing to unique locations including the Del Norte Street pier, an old shuttered bar, Benbow Inn’s balconies, Eureka’s new Old Town murals, Humboldt Bay shores, and the Hikshari’ trail’s train tracks and bridge, among many more. Badeaux comments, “I enjoy the connection between the two art forms of dance and photography. A dance still is a much different visual than its usual movement.

Pairing that stillness with our beautiful landscapes and unique vistas has been a great project. It has to personify the spirit of dance.” Since some of the photographers are also the photo subjects, they seem

to be extra excited to see the show. Cain Towers said, “Such a pleasure it was to express myself through the form of ballet while melding in with the natural wonder of our beautiful Humboldt County. It was a delight to participate in this project with Carrie and my fellow company members” The opening will debut framed photographs as well as a continuous projected showing of the full collection of 100 photos. The first installment of the Dance Scene Photography Exhibi-

tion was presented in March of 2013. There was such success with that first show, that the premise has been continued ever since with an exhibition every two years.

In addition to the exhibit, there will be live art taking place where artists will be painting and sketching costumed dancers throughout the night.

The Arts Alive reception on December 4 at the 208 C Street Studios in Old Town Eureka will be the only chance to view the collection in person.
