Hundreds turn out for 2008 Eureka Peace March
The now annual peace march may have dwindled in size from the thousands that turned out in the first years but still attracts hundreds of what some organizers call "the hard core activists".

SalmonAid Festival Puts Spotlight on Need For Fish Restoration
posted by Dan Bacher 2008-06-17T23:22:20Z
The SalmonAid Festival, held in Jack London Square in Oakland on May 31 and June 1, brought together a unique coalition of recreational anglers, commercial fishermen, members of Indian Tribes and conservationists from throughout California and the West Coast. Over 20,000 people attended the festival that put the spotlight on the urgent need to restore salmon and other fish populations on the West, brought to edge of extinction by the horrendous water and environmental polices of the Bush and Schwarzenegger administrations. "It was a giant first step in educating people about the need to save our salmon and other fisheries," said Mike Hudson, coordinator of the event.

Judge Sides with Tribes and Fishermen in Clean Water Case on Klamath River
posted by Dan Bacher 2008-06-16T19:41:54Z
The Karuk Tribe, Klamath Riverkeeper and Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations recently won a huge legal victory that may have broad implications for dams throughout California. Superior Court Judge Elaine Rushing invited the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board to exercise its congressionally mandated authority to regulate water quality, spurred by a lawsuit over the discharge of toxic algae from Warren Buffett's Klamath River Dams.

Communities For Peace

This years, now annual, anti-(Iraq)-War demonstration took on a new persona in the form of a demonstrative memorial for the victims of the war in Iraq which include well over the 650,000 dead Iraqis documented over a year ago as of this writing and the over 3,000 dead American service men and women. While it is unlikely that the number of participants in this year's more somber and choreographed demonstration reached the 4,000 mark as in past years there were many people present along 5th street; and many more on 4th; The full breadth of the demonstartion is difficult to depict in a couple of photos being spread up and down Highway 101 as it was but there are more larger photos here. There is also a video clip here. It is too large for easy download via dial-up modem at 141 megabytes. There is also an even lower resolution version uploaded to Google Video though that will likely be a bit much for a 56K modem also. A reduced size version is here though at 27 megabytes it is still a hefty download for dialup... This might even work on dialup;

    Demonstrators met with government orchestrated "counter demonstration" at Eureka City Hall as pay raises and expensive attornies for killer cops top agenda.

    Demonstrators serving food stood outside the door of City Hall to protest the 22% pay raise given to EPD officers and $75,000 granted for the defense of ex Chief Douglas in a previous, unilateral, secret session.

    In totalitarian countries, we are told, governments organize pro government rallies to create the illusion of support. Castro, Mao, Stalin and the rest of them. This is a glimpse of the strange scene outside City Hall on January 15th, 2008 where I saw such a spectacle on a small scale. Complete with an electric road information sign, template made posters and gloating pro-police infallibility "demonstrators", some of who appeared to be drunk, some of whom appeared to be doing some form of pennance. More later inside the website.

    Reclaim your community!
    Terry Liles, the officer who shot 16 year-old Chris Burgess, is back on the beat before his victim's body has left the morgue.
    Time for sufficient treatment and rehab for the shooter has not passed and the community is not safe with this man toting a gun again.
    In addition, violations of police procedures, such as pursuing a suspect without backup, the documented previous beating by Liles of the victim, and questions of why non-lethal force was not used should be further pursued.
    Policies that allow excessive police violence to continue without accountability or structural changes to prevent such violence must be challenged. In some countries the police don't even carry guns.
    If you support creating a safe community, please call the Humboldt D.A. Paul Gallegos to encourage further investigation into this killing and the murder of Cheri Moore (ALSO INVOLVING LILES) mere months ago. (707)445-7411
    Call interim Eureka Police Chief Capt. Murl Harpham and ask that Terry Liles be taken off the streets. (707) 441-4060.
