44 Hours. That's how long 8-year-old Leia Carrico and her 5-year-old sister Caroline, were missing in the forests of southern Humboldt. The story of the missing sisters gripped the region, and soon spread around the country. The North Coast Journal's Thad Greenson and Jennifer Fumiko Cahill spoke with the KHSU Magazine about their cover story on the massive search to find the girls and happy ending of their rescue Sunday morning. The full story, including photos by Mark McKenna and Alexandra Hootnick as well as contributions by Kym Kemp is on the North Coast Journal's website .

Another Siskiyou County dispatch. Activities at the Forks of Salmon elementary school are always bustling... this latest visit to the rural community school was no different.

"The Harbor District kind of blindsided everyone on Friday afternoon, announcing a special meeting on Monday at which they were going to eneter into a lease with a Norwegian company, Nordic Aquafarms for the pulp mill site," says North Coast Journal news editor Thad Greenson in an interview with the KHSU Magazine. Greenson, with assistant editor Kimberley Wear, sifted through what they could find out about the project, the company and spoke with stakeholders after the meeting. Questions abound, including why the public was given little notice of the intended lease, what environmental and fisheries impacts could such a facility have and whether an aquaculture facility would compete with local fishermen. The complete article is here: North Coast Journal: Norwegian Company Casts Bid for Fish Farm Greenson also previews the cover story in the Journal, a reporting collaboration with Cal Matters on California's gun regulations and whether they are effective.

Arcata diners would be forgiven for trepidation when they saw a yellow Alcohol Beverage Control change of ownership poster up in the window of Folie Douce last month. The restaurant has been part of the high end dining scene in Arcata for more than 20 years. Fans of the artichoke cheesecake and rocquefort filet mignon need not worry, but there are many new flavors on the menu under new owner Reda Salhi. In the latest Table Talk by North Coast Journal editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, she spoke with Salhi about his culinary background, his journey from his birthplace in Algeria, through Europe, to Ecuador and then to the U.S. The journey, and the story of Salhil's adoption of Lebanese and other Mediterranean flavors, is as interesting as Folie Douce's new hummus and shawarma.

Some get started for the honey - others for the pollination potential. Home beekeepers have a number of reasons for starting the hobby, but as they grow into full-fledged apiarists, they may find their interests change and deepen. Home beekeepers learn about the lives of their hives, the meditative experience of watching their bees at work and how they can keep their hives thriving. Beekeepers Dick LaForge and Jeannine Kaprielian are two of the four beekleepers who teach the Practical Beekeeping and Advanced Practical Beekeeping classes through Humboldt State University's College of Extended Education and Global Engagement. Kaprielian and LaForge discussed the classes and the experience of learning to be a beekeeper on the KHSU Magazine with host David Reed. The beginning class series begins February 11th. The advanced classes begin February 17th. The class fee is $160 for either series. Information is at the HSU Extended Ed website .

"It was fun...it's still fun," says Libby Maynard, about how the Ink People has continued for 40 years. The arts organization supports much of the infrastructure of the local arts scene, living out it's motto, "weaving the arts into the fabric of our community." Maynard is the director and co-founder of the Ink People Center for the Arts, Eureka's official arts organization. The group started in 1979 when a group of Humboldt State art students realized they would need to work collectively to keep and house the equipment they needed to continue their printmaking art. The organization has grown to be the umbrella for arts projects and events big and small. Today there are 100 active "DreamMaker" projects, the Ink People's program for self-directed arts enterprises. DreamMaker projects range from county-wide arts events to performace groups, and youth arts to community building efforts. The Ink People also operates the Brenda Tuxford Gallery; the MARZ Project, an art and music program for

It has been tough to find specific answers about how the federal shutdown is affecting Humboldt and Del Norte counties, says North Coast Journal news editor Thad Greenson. "Agencies are down people and maybe having someone available to talk to the media is not the top priority or maybe they've been told not to talk to the media." What Journal reporters were able to ascertain is that about 1,500 federal employees in the region are directly affected. But among those employees they couldn't get a definative answer on how many are considered "essential." Greenson says they know the U.S. Coast Guard and TSA are working without pay. In addition to the federal workers not being paid or furloughed, there are a number of federally funded programs in jeopardy if the shutdown continues into a second month. Local recipients of CalWorks, WIC and CalFresh could be affected. These programs are running on reserve funds now. In addition, local tribes' health care and child care programs rely on federal

Over half of Humboldt County employers say they've had difficulty in hiring. At the same time time, local job seekers, especially graduating college students, say they'd like to work locally but can't find quality jobs. How can both of these things be true? There is a disconnect between employers and job seekers and research into data by the Arcata Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) shows that. " Workforce Weekend " is a tool AEDC is hoping will bridge the divide. "It's kind of a cross between Match. com ... and a job fair," says AEDC's Susan Seaman, "we're building a portal that helps everyone find their right fit." Seaman described how the data gathered by the county workforce development board and HSU's school of business gave her the clues that led to creating the online platform. "In the HSU research they asked employers how professional they thought applicants were and it was very low. And they asked applicants how professional they felt they were and it was very high." One

The long journey to bring the play "Radioman" to the stage hits a milestone this month when it premieres at Del Arte in Blue Lake January 10th. The play is based on the poetry of Eric Hollenbeck and his experiences as a soldier in Vietnam and as a veteran trying to come to grips with his return. The North Coast Journal's Thad Greenson spoke with the KHSU Magazine about how the play came to be and the lucky dinner that brought it to the stage. Radioman will play Jan. 10 through 12 and Jan. 17 through 19 at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. shows Jan. 13 and Jan. 20. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at www.radiomantheplay.org or by calling Dell'Arte's box office at 668-5663. The Hollenbecks encourage anyone purchasing a ticket to consider buying another to donate to a veteran.
