Writer plans on voting for Clif Clendenen

Published: May 10 2008, 11:45 PM

Dear Editor, If you want planned, sensible growth, yet maintain the rural atmosphere we truly care about in Humboldt County, vote for Clif Clendenen for county supervisor in the Second District. Clif wants to see us provide for sustainable forest industries and river preservation while creating jobs and home for prosperity. The two can work together. Vote for Clif on June 3.

Legalized amphetamines would show negative effects

Published: May 10 2008, 11:44 PM

Dear Editor, The best way to win the “war” against amphetamines is to make them legally available. Let everyone see what happens to the users, in broad daylight. Put all the black market dealers out of business. This is by far the best, and only, solution to our problems.

Handling of Reggae on the River loses vote for Fennell

Published: May 10 2008, 11:43 PM

Dear Editor, I wish I didn’t have to be the muckraker, but I can’t vote for former KMUD news director, Estelle Fennell. She showed such terrible judgment about the Mateel Community Center/People Productions controversy that I have no trust in her ability to separate truth from personal loyalties. I think she has shown herself unfit to stand against the corruptions of Humboldt politics by the way she reported (or not) what should have been the biggest story since Julia Butterfly, the rip-off of Reggae on the River from the Mateel.

Clarifying letter about homelessness

Published: May 10 2008, 11:42 PM

Dear Editor, Unfortunately, the headline chosen for my recent letter was misleading in that it implied that I believe the only way to help the homeless is to not call the police, it seems that Ms. Vega, in her letter, picked up on this and assumed she knew what I thought about homelessness.

Jury in Matthew Davis trial was too lenient

Published: May 10 2008, 12:11 AM

Dear Editor, One of the jurors on the recent Matt Davis child molestation case came out of the juror’s box, heading for the deliberation room, with his mind made up that Davis was guilty on all counts. He was surprised and amazed that the other jurors were not of the same opinion and wanted to deliberate.

Mental health care needs to be more than just drugging

Published: May 9 2008, 11:08 PM

Dear Editor, The Board of Supervisors proclaimed May as Mental Health Month again this year. Clients of the mental health system can look back at the cessation of frontal lobotomies, insulin shock therapy and the almost extinct electro-convulsive therapy, yet the care of those in the programs that are to serve them, can be quite similar today. It is still “maintenance therapy.”

Special Interests or the Working Class?

Published: May 9 2008, 11:07 PM

Dear Editor, As a new year of local elections approaches, I see the well-funded special interests have already begun their campaign ads and rhetoric. Despite politicians’ promises and misdirection, they can do very little when it comes to economics.
