Trinidad to Clam Beach Run This Saturday

The 8 and 3/4 mile race starts at noon this Saturday 2-7-09. The run is sponsored by the Trinidad Chamber of Commerce. Participants can register at the Trinidad Town Hall Thursday Feb. 5th., between 5 and 7pm. The cost is $22.00 unless you wait till the day of the race when it goes up to $28.00. The entry fee includes a T-shirt and chili feed at the Trinidad School after the run.

Be on the lookout for the blue Chevy TrailBlazer Bicoastal Media vehicle with espn, kred, and kkhb plastered all over it. You might get a free station t-shirt. The vehicle doesn't currently have the KGOE logo on it, but they tell me that it is going to be added soon.

The race takes runners through Little River, literally right through the water and then up onto Clam Beach.

Bring dry socks for afterward.

Just up the beach from the end of the race is an eradication effort. ( see picture)

A joint effort between the County of Humboldt and the California Department of Parks and Recreation, seeks to eradicate European beach grass. The non native species has been crowding out native dune grasses to the detriment of the Western Snowy Plover, a bird that nests on the dunes.

Dozens of secret Bush surveillance, executive power memos found; Could be made public

This is from the RawStory.com


Details about more than three dozen secret memoranda written by Bush Administration officials now sit atop a chart created by a public interest reporting group. The memos track new details about dozens of secret Bush Administration legal positions on torture, detention and warrantless wiretapping.

Meanwhile, Obama's freshly-confirmed Attorney General Eric Holder told senators that he was open to declassifying White House legal memos if no support for their original classification could be found, signaling a likely showdown with former President George W. Bush over executive privilege.

See e-mail chart

Some of these are still classified as secret but some can be read at the link.

Alex Jones on KGOE?

I am currently looking at putting Alex Jones on KGOE 1480 from 9 to 10pm. This slot is currently held by Jeff Rense. Rense is live and Alex Jones would be in a delay from earlier in the day. This would make KGOE only live 21 out of 24 hours weekdays. I am considering this move in light of the show Rense ran the day Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States. Jeff Rense had racist David Duke on the show that night. While I am open to many points of view, I do not and will not tolerate racism.

Alex Jones is a compelling, in your face investigative reporter, movie maker and radio show host.

Subjects include the new world order, investigate 9/11, the U.S. Constitution, terrorism, IMF and the World Bank, and the erosion of our freedoms.

Stay tuned for confirmation and a launch date.

Food Not Lawns

Thanks to local Blogger HighBoltage for this one.

Welcome to the new Internet hub site for the International movement to grow Food, not Lawns! Started and moderated by Heather C. Flores, co-founder of the FNL movement and author of the book, Food not Lawns, How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your Neighborhood into a Community, this blog site will keep you up to date on upcoming events and exciting projects, and will help you find people in your community who are returning the concrete jungle into fruitful organic gardens.

Go To Food Not Lawns

I used to live in Anaheim and a neighbor two doors down, replaced his front lawn with drought tolerant plants and a garden. The house between us was up for sale and they were nice people so he and I did our best to make our yards look good for the prospective buyers. My neighbor's garden needed some weeding and he said he didn't have time. He bought some pumpkins and cantaloupe and put them amongst the weeds in his front yard.

The next day the realtor came to the house for sale with some folks looking at the house and my neighbor saw them pull up, he went outside and as they were coming up the front walk, he said howdy as he reached down into the weeds and pulled up a nice cantaloupe snapping off a weed and brushing off the dirt as he lifted the store bought fruit into his arms. The house hunters thought, what a nice garden and eventually bought the house.

I laughed my ass off as he retold the story to me. I just thought I'd pass that along for any of you that want a garden but are afraid of what the neighbors might say.

Lawns were made popular by rich people centurys ago to show that they were so well off that they could waste all that land and water on something other than food.

Homelessness Surges as Funding Falters

Providers to the poor try to stretch meager resources to meet growing need

Excerpt from article:

The CityTeam closure is a piece in the expanding problem of homelessness across the nation: Shelters and related services for the homeless are facing funding shortfalls as the downturn takes its toll on state budgets and corporate donations. And while individual donors in many cases are keeping up gifts - or even digging a little deeper for charities that help with urgent needs like food and shelter - the service providers say they are faced with a rapidly growing demand from people losing jobs and homes in the economic crisis.
"A downturn in (overall) funding in this case is accompanied by a surge in demand, so a homeless shelter, food pantry, or job-training program is going to feel it first," says Chuck Bean, executive director of Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington, in the District of Columbia. "Even if they have 100 percent of their budget compared to last year, they now see a 50 percent surge in demand. Then (they) get into the tough decisions: Do you thin the soup, or shorten the line?"

It never ceases to amaze me how so many people talk trash about our homeless in this country. Many of us are just a paycheck or medical problem away from joining the ranks of the houseless. Remember that many homeless people are veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and they could use our help. Another emerging homeless population demographic are those that have jobs but don't make enough money to pay rent and utilities. This demographic is growing by leaps and bounds.

A great web site for the houseless and those in Humboldt County that would like to offer a space to sleep or other help or services http://peopleproject.wordpress.com/

Peter B. Collins Eureka Visit?

We are currently working on bringing Peter B. Collins back to Humboldt County. March is the target month.

Peter B. Collins is a nationally (self) syndicated live talk radio show that airs on KGOE 1480 in Eureka from 3 to 6pm.

I am toying with the idea of having him up on a Saturday. That would mean no live broadcast but we have other plans. Peter B. is trying to get permission to run the movie Loose Change ( about 9/11) and there is a peace march/event planned for March 21st. It would be cool to get him up here on that day.
Stay tuned to kgoe or this blog for more info. as we get it.
