I’m teaching two classes this semester: Environmental Impact Assessment, primarily for seniors; and Water Quality and Environmental Health, for second- and third-year students. The water quality class is split up into two groups for lab purposes. We took advantage of the unseasonably beautiful weather this past week to go do some field work along Jolly [...]

My husband gave me a local cookbook for Christmas, “Locally Delicious”, which was just published about a month ago. I’ve been talking about cooking more often (he does most of the cooking)and we’re both partisans of the idea of eating locally grown or produced food, in season. I was raised that way — my mom [...]

This month, Ruth Moon takes us to visit “the unknown Waterfront” as part of her Eureka Discovery Walks. She says: Called the ‘Unknown’ Waterfront, because this stretch of the bay’s waterfront is actually not visible or accessible along much of the way, this walk features several stunning views and some interesting back trails. We’ll visit [...]

I really love Cafe Nooner in Eureka. I think of all the comfort food available for puchase in town, theirs may be the comfortingest! I stopped there yesterday — it has become a Sunday tradition for my husband and I — and had their cream of porcini mushroom (mmm, with green onions and garlic) and [...]

Sigh. I’m sorry, I don’t actually want to be a cynic and suspect scams everywhere, but I think last Thursday’s “Courage Night” may have been one. Ostensibly, the event was about gathering money and attention for the fight against breast cancer; however, I have serious reservations about the tenor of the event. Key guests were [...]

A picture I took yesterday afternoon in Eureka. I loved the contrast between warm and cold colours.
Port of refuge

The Hawaiian Chieftain, a ketch, took refuge at the Bonnie Gool public dock in Eureka Tuesday and will probably leave today. We stopped by last night to snap a few pictures with the camera-phones; I have 14 of mine posted online here but this was my favourite. I’m quite pleased with the effect. The Hawaiian [...]
