On November 12th the Fort Bragg City Council approved a 68-unit apartment complex on Highway One between the Fort Brag Outlet Store and the Emerald Dolphin Inn.  The developer originally planned to build two-story buildings with 53 apartments but must include inclusionary housing units.  The City agreed to allow three-story buildings to accommodate the 68 units, to make the project profitable for the developer.  The council also set a range of in-lieu fees for inclusionary housing developments from $4 per square foot for small developments to $8 per square foot for large developments.   The council discussed a pro-housing zoning amendment that could alter developers' requirements for parking, environmental review, and neighborhood input.  These changes are expected to come back to the council in December.Fort Bragg High School students gave a presentation about their exchange program with the City's sister city, Otsuchi, Japan.  Mayor Norvell read out a proclamation for Veteran's Appreciation Day. The City Council reappointed Jim Hurst as the Harbor Commission Chair pending approval of the County Board of Supervisors.

As I walked through a garden on a hill overlooking the town of Otsuchi, Japan, birds flew overhead and the wind blew in gently from the sea. Leaves rustled on the trees, and the sweet aroma of flowers wafted through the air. I looked down to see goldfish swimming in a pond, and at the top of the hill I found a white glass-paneled phone booth. ...

When an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in 2011, 30ft (9.14m) waves obliterated coastal communities. The small town of Otsuchi lost everything including 2000 residents. One resident, Itaru Sasaki, was already grieving his cousin before the tsunami hit. He had the idea of nestling an old phone booth on the windy hill at the bottom of his garden which overlooked the Pacific Ocean. This would be a place he could go to speak to his cousin - a place where his words could ‘be carried on the wind.’ The white, glass-paned booth holds an old disconnected rotary phone. He called it his Wind Phone. In the aftermath of the terrible tsunami, as word of the phone spread, it became a pilgrimage site for those who had lost loved ones. In the sanctuary of the booth they would dial old phone numbers and talk to their loved ones. Interpreter and journalist Miwako Ozawa visited Otsuchi in the weeks after the tsunami. In this programme she returns for the first time since 2011 to visit the phone and find out how it has helped people to cope with their grief. We meet some of those who regularly visit the phone and we hear their stories and listen in to their phone calls. In many ways the wind phone typifies a very Japanese relationship with nature and death and with the invisible forces that connect us all. As the residents of Otsuchi face the slow progress of rebuilding their town and the frightening reality of future extreme weather, the wind phone is a reminder of those losses that won’t be forgotten.

Synopsis Japan’s horrific tsunami in March of 2011 was seared into the minds of TV viewers worldwide, but few had any idea of where the tsunami hit on that fateful day or to its long-term impact. This book answers many of these and other questions with maps, photos, and text providing a sense of those coastal towns. There are links to videos also, with one showing the tsunami surging into Central Otsuchi, the author’s adopted home town. Excerpt As Fate Would Have It Earthquake…tsunami…fire…the triple whammy that destroyed Otsuchi caught everyone by surprise on the 11th of March, 2011. That town in Iwate Prefecture was only one of many on the Sanriku Coast to be shaken to the core by the Great East Japan Earthquake, then engulfed by huge walls of seawater followed by flames consuming what remained. For us the loss of Atsuko’s hometown had triple consequences—the loss of our home, of the community chosen for our retirement, and of family members. Bad things come in threes, it seems. As fate would have it, we were not there on that unfortunate day. For the first time since making Otsuchi our primary residence in 2004 we had decided to spend the winter in our Tokyo condo. Located in Ayase, a community in Adachi Ward on Tokyo’s north side, the two-bedroom apartment had been our home since our marriage and one we kept even after moving to far-off Sanriku. From 2004, our yearly travel schedule had included a short visit to Tokyo in April to coincide with cherry-blossom season, followed by a trip to Honolulu for a month, a return to Tokyo for two weeks or so to catch up with friends and colleagues there, and then in June back to the tranquility of Otsuchi.    

The Operation Blessing team continues to move north up the eastern coast of Japan distributing relief supplies to shelters that are now home to displaced tsunami survivors. Today we gained favor with the police and military, who led us to a shelter in Otsuchi where were able to bring food supplies, kerosene, and heaters to combat the harsh conditions.
