The struggle
in Manila last Thursday night was again between the old guard and a new
order. |
|
Behind the
traditional façade of Arcata’s jam band welcoming and infatuation with
overplayed reggae music lies the dark underbelly of local rock ‘n’ roll.

Cowgirl up, drinks down in Rio Dell By Matt Kapko, Matthew Mais and Michael Schnalzer Tavern Trailblazers The Lumberjack January 21, 2004 As
we gained upon the edge of town on Wildwood Avenue, the green fluorescent
light at Mingo’s offered the only sign of nightlife in town. |

Humboldt
State University’s Community Relations Department has launched a new Web
site for their press releases under the moniker of “Humboldt State News
Online.” |

As we pulled
off the 101 onto Sunset Boulevard, I quickly realized how much I missed
this place. Two-and-a-half years behind the Redwood Curtain has taken
its toll on my nightlife. I no longer care about the smog, traffic or
fake people that fill these streets of Hollywood. A strong desire for
music, over-priced drinks and fun-filled nights of yesteryear had brought
my return, and nothing would stand in the way of that. |

The mission
of this series is to explore local dive bars and remind us all that alternatives
to the predictably depressing bars on the Arcata Plaza do exist (Although
we do love Denise at the Alibi). Let’s be honest: as a newcomer, the first
visit to the bars on the plaza takes some bravery. With this confidence
well established we set out with an extra inkling of adventure. We wonder:
What more will be required of us to experience the obscure, off-the-main-road
alternatives? Rather than strictly adhering to dummied-down newspeak—we
forewarn: personal, memorable experiences are included herein. This is
the first in a feature series. |

Although
Blue Lake’s budget concerns may now be the last thing on his mind, that

governor, Arnold Swarzenegger, hoping to convince him that small towns
like Blue Lake will suffer significantly if they lose funding previously
obtained from vehicle licensing fees.

of last week’s election for the Manila Community Services District settles
in, controversy seems to be growing. The criticism is coming from below
and above, originating from community members and district directors. |
|
Irony and
emotions ran high in Manila last Saturday as a group of more than 30 residents,
directors and commissioners met to begin the first of a series of Strategic
Planning meetings. Actually, beginning the process of planning is where
the meeting fell short. |

There is a clear distinction between those who grow food and those whose only relationship with food begins and ends at a grocery store. A farmer’s connection with the land is mystical, unexplained, and often times their greatest joy is simply knowing that their hard labor and efforts will bring food to the table of others.
