ARCATA In a world
where a venerable Plaza
ice cream shop became an
artisanal Italian food and
deli, one woman strove to
take the concept even further to expand the popular sandwich offerings,
add desperately needed
coffee drinks and even
bring back ice cream (in
the form of gelato).
On Feb. 1, see the premiere Coco Maki is

Or maybe shes Caffe
Ora (Coffee Now), the
name of the espresso shop
shed eventually like to
open there. It all depends
on the Gofundme campaign now in progress under the title, Expanding
services at PastaLuego.
Makis fundraising goal
is $30,000, but regardless, PastaLuego will be
closed through January
and re-open with a new
spin one fashioned by
three years experience
in the shop. A clue as to
what will be different is
the huge array of highend Italian cooking ingredients now on clearance
sale for 50 percent off.
Well still carry some,
Maki said, reflecting lessons learned. But people
dont shop here for unique
ingredients, more for gifts.
They also want Makis

The County Sheriff-Coroners Office is another top-priority funding item. A $1.2 million request for funding seven positions and overtime, four patrol vehicles and an armored vehicle was mostly supported by supervisors.
They subtracted $300,000 of spending for the armored
vehicle from the Sheriffs Offices request but added it back
later in the year.
Local power control
A multi-jurisdictional public energy agency that includes the county advanced a power buying program
whose implementation in unincorporated areas was approved by the Board of Supervisors last spring. The action
authorized the countys participation in the new program,
which is slated to begin providing power in spring 2017.
Known as Community Choice Aggregation, the program
is aligned with state law that allows communities to purchase power including locally-produced power for use
by their residents.
The Redwood Coast Energy Authority a joint powers
authority that includes county and city governments will
be the lead agency in a power-buying program that will
charge rates at or below PG&Es while drawing from a variety of power sources, including locally-produced renewable energy.
The countys 60,000 power customers in total are estimated to save $2 million a year for the first five years of the
program, which amounts to a savings of about $20 a year
on the average power bill.
The program will draw from conventional natural gas
sources, but if customers are willing to pay higher rates,
theyll be able to purchase up to 100 percent of their power
from renewable sources.
When the program begins operation, customers will be
automatically switched to it unless they choose to opt out
of it.
Honing in on housing
The vexing issue of homelessness was explored in a first
time ever joint meeting of the Eureka City Council and the
countys Board of Supervisors in late January.
Held in a packed board chamber, the meeting showcased a final report from Focus Strategies, a Sacramento-based firm that exclusively works on plans to help communities reduce homelessness.
The reports main recommendation is to direct effort
and resources at a housing first approach that immediately places people in rental units or supportive housing,
followed by case management services.
At a meeting the following month, supervisors approved
a resolution pledging to support Eurekas housing first efforts before delving into solutions on the county level. Supervisors wanted to gain feedback from residents of unincorporated areas before making firm decisions.
In August, the county and Eureka launched an initial housing first effort, aiming to house 30 people in 60
days. The goal was surpassed, with 73 adults and children
housed within the 60-day window.
In mid-December, volunteers were being solicited to
carry out another important effort the countywide biannual point in time count, which will take place on Jan. 31
and will estimate the number of homeless people living on
the streets and in camps.

Any squash really, I like butternut and hokkaido. Peel, cube and toss with
olive oil and Claire Browns Mix (sumac, dill, fenugreek, oregano and salt in
equal proportion except salt, less salt then the other things. This mix is very
good on everything. Do like a tablespoon of each except only 2 teaspoons
salt and then you have some to put in a jar and save.) So sprinkle an small
handful on your oiled squash and snips and roast on a baking sheet for 50
minutes at 390, tossing at least once.
Very, very good.
Parsley salad
The best winter salad. Invented as far as I know by Maximilian Parker Brotman, my irreproachable younger brother and partner of the above-mentioned Claire Brown.
Get 2 bunches of parsley (really, one is not enough unless its just you).
I like curly leaved for this. Wash it carefully, dry/drain, and chop it pretty
finely, as fine as you have the patience for. Add 3 tablespoons apple cider
vinegar and 3 tablespoons olive oil and a teaspoon or 2 of salt. Then mash
it up into the parsley so it is throughly combined. Important: Let rest for at
least 15 minutes. Meanwhile mince 2 cloves garlic finely. Add to parsley.
In a dry pan, toast 1/2 cup of walnuts or sunflower or pumpkin seeds until
golden. Make a divot in salad and add hot seeds to make a little mountain. Add a tablespoon soy sauce on hot nuts so it sizzles. Wait a minute to
let seeds absorb, then toss all.
This salad is truly delicious, I know the idea of eating straight parsley seems
unappealing but the soak in dressing breaks it down so it is tender. Try it and
you will be converted and then eat it all the time.
Fun in the Peaceable hamlet Do you like to roller skate? Arguably the finest
roller rink in Humboldt County is located in sunny Blue Lake at 312 South Railroad
Ave. in Perigot Park. Public skate is only $5 on Fridays and Saturdays from 6:30
to 9:30 p.m., and again on Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m. There are adult and themed
skate nights, as well as skate lessons. They offer two-hour private skate parties on
the weekends, as well as accommodating parties during public skate times. Blue
Lake now also offers pickleball at the Blue Lake Roller Rink every Sunday from 9
to 11 a.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. All ages are welcome, and
its only $3 to drop in. Call Blue Lake Parks and Recreation at (707) 668-5655 for
more information.

n my younger days, I was not the wild veggie enthusiast I am today. Well, except chard. I went
through a vicious Chard Addiction in fact, for my 16th birthday, I decried cake in favor of a
Huge Vat of Steamed Chard. Needless to say, my chums were less than chuffed. But overall, I
didnt love vegetables in particular. This has changed as Ive gotten older and duller.
My little brother recently moved in with me, along with his lovely lady, and those two, as befits
urban farmers, make vegetables the mainstay of their diet. We, who are so blessed to live in these
moist verdant climes, get about the most fantastic vegetables available anywhere, and we should
have no trouble fitting these delights into all three meals a day. I include below three of my favorite
ways to partake of locally grown green treats.
All these recipes are really good I promise, as well as easy and seasonal, as well as insanely
wholesome. Let me know if you like them!
