Today at the Plaza I ran into Kai, the hatchet wielding hitchhiker. Kai became famous after a news interview with him went viral on the internet. He was considered to be a hero after he used a hatchet to stop an attack on people by the man who he had hitched a ride from. The man had just seriously injured a PG&E worker with his truck.<br />

Arcata, California- Author Martin Lee came to Humboldt State University this afternoon, to share insights from his latest book, "Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuna- Medical, Recreational, and Scientific." The event was sponsored by the HSU chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Lee's previous book, "Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD", was called a "wealth of historical, sociological, and political information" by The American Jorunal of Psychiatry.

The NCRC, which was formerly known as the Arcata Endeavor, provides essential services to homeless people and low income residents. Services that will be stopped include food boxes, showers, lunches, and mail. A staff member said that they were closing in order to reorganize.

They entered the bank shortly after 2 pm and sat down and chanted om. They left peacefully after police arrived. Prior to that, it was a confusing day for Occupy Arcata. The encampment at city hall fell apart. In the morning several campers took their tents down, which led others to do the same. Rumors spread that there had been a raid. As the encampment weakened, the city took advantage and pushed for more stuff to be removed. Little remained by afternoon. Protesters said that they would regroup and reorganize.<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/63QTsH0kZ04" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Forest Defenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12446895155381138844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610298565516111809.post-7450059996986466032011-11-16T21:00:00.000-08:002011-11-16T21:11:38.899-08:00Police Give Occupy Arcata Eviction Notice<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzxiy3k5cUOOsCK8nn3kP96MJyRDDH4jByOUme8ufDXl01vTLhwCJWRhnL-v8jyYLQ7qJV6Kb2c10wswRODZTahqLH82lspfnjPyFfnKeVXTlaPgu558Pjhop7y1XKswgqP7pFTTE7_F0/s1600/DSCN5101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzxiy3k5cUOOsCK8nn3kP96MJyRDDH4jByOUme8ufDXl01vTLhwCJWRhnL-v8jyYLQ7qJV6Kb2c10wswRODZTahqLH82lspfnjPyFfnKeVXTlaPgu558Pjhop7y1XKswgqP7pFTTE7_F0/s400/DSCN5101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675827087459709682" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QMEgvHcG2VnvTfITSmJNjKrg0DPDmplz4PxcwoyHbevX13t3EJMYX3ErE1AeEdOJFBeMSVGnsWrwpedWFVRzPVK9q0uJFsFINxYgfR6JGe7gY3wonS8xhKIPspsQBOQOXo7ovBsj680/s1600/DSCN5102.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QMEgvHcG2VnvTfITSmJNjKrg0DPDmplz4PxcwoyHbevX13t3EJMYX3ErE1AeEdOJFBeMSVGnsWrwpedWFVRzPVK9q0uJFsFINxYgfR6JGe7gY3wonS8xhKIPspsQBOQOXo7ovBsj680/s400/DSCN5102.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675827093418970898" border="0" /></a><br />Arcata police chief Tom Chapman delivered a letter to Occupy Arcata today.

Daniel Duncan of <a href="http://www.smallworldbookpress.com/">Small World Book Press</a> brought a kiosk that he made. A man driving by shouted "Keep it going, they shut down New York". A family came and stood on the corner, waving and holding a sign that said "End Corporate Personhood!" A woman drove up and donated chocolate and nuts.

The occupy movement is urging people to transfer their accounts from the big banks to local credit unions. Occupy Arcata is planning a march in observance. The local movement is still going strong at city hall. I am surprised at how many local shop owners have come by to express their support and drop off donations. A lot of the problems with disruptive persons has diminished, but their is still a need for more dedicated people that can maintain peacekeeper monitoring 24 hours a day.Forest Defenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12446895155381138844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610298565516111809.post-34503878620481215612011-11-01T19:35:00.000-07:002011-11-01T19:47:15.827-07:00City Council to Consider Supporting OWSOn the agenda for tomorrow night's meeting of the Arcata City Council is consideration of Resolution 112-26 - In Support of the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

The good neighbor policy will be like the one adopted in New York by Occupy Wall Street which reads as follows:<br /><br />GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY<br /><br />Posted Oct. 13, 2011, 2:10 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt<br /><br />Following respectful and good-faith dialogue with members of the local community which has been rebuilding since the trauma of 9/11, Occupy Wall Street hereby announces the following Good Neighbor Policy:<br /><br />OWS has zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol anywhere in Liberty Plaza;<br /><br />Zero tolerance for violence or verbal abuse towards anyone;<br /><br />Zero tolerance for abuse of personal or public property.<br /><br />OWS will limit drumming on the site to 2 hours per day, between the hours of 11am and 5pm only.<br /><br />OWS encourages all participants to respect health and sanitary regulations, and will direct all participants to respectfully utilize appropriate off-site sanitary facilities.<br /><br />OWS will display signage and have community relations and security monitors in Liberty Plaza, in order to ensure awareness of and respect for our guidelines and Good Neighbor Policy.<br /><br />OWS will at all times have a community relations representative on-site, to monitor and respond to community concerns and complaints.<br /><br />Occupy Wall Street October 13, 2011<br /><br />Note: In conjunction with local community members and their representatives, OWS is also working to establish off-site sanitary facilities such as port-a-potties.Forest Defenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12446895155381138844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610298565516111809.post-38586498819905128242011-10-25T21:51:00.000-07:002011-10-25T21:56:33.452-07:00Police Reported Ready for Occupy RaidOccupy Humboldt has warned that police in riot gear are forming up around the courthouse and may be getting ready to raid Occupy Eureka or Occupy Arcata!Forest Defenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12446895155381138844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610298565516111809.post-23826447808511587622011-10-24T21:35:00.000-07:002011-10-25T14:32:28.343-07:00Two Arrests at Occupy Arcata<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0bRNiTmJgZKh6yKTYrEzCNo3OWsmcHxJH-rmtEHpehaxspNbXZoqeDRUaY46n9-5oByGyXxpO9-A1R_lghyphenhyphenxV5YItHHZ2Fnjb-dwwEklnpTUqsi-KH2ppopq6IzoBcD53qVMyySTpJ5g/s1600/303290_231639733561792_220016521390780_635511_525949789_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0bRNiTmJgZKh6yKTYrEzCNo3OWsmcHxJH-rmtEHpehaxspNbXZoqeDRUaY46n9-5oByGyXxpO9-A1R_lghyphenhyphenxV5YItHHZ2Fnjb-dwwEklnpTUqsi-KH2ppopq6IzoBcD53qVMyySTpJ5g/s400/303290_231639733561792_220016521390780_635511_525949789_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667286897048424226" border="0" /></a><br />Two protesters were arrested today at the Occupy Arcata protest site. The trouble started when officers tried to give a ticket to a protester for having a tent. Police arrested him after he refused to sign the ticket. One other activist was also arrested for reasons that are not clear. Both were taken to Humboldt County Jail. Police took the one tent that was at the site. Now there are several tents. The police action seems to have galvanized the activists and brought more community support.

The two city officials joined dozens of activists who gathered on the plaza and marched around town. Mayor Ornelas said she was one of the ninety-nine percent. Activists from Occupy Humboldt circulated a petition to HSU President Rollin Richmond asking that the University allow the Occupy protest on campus to continue. They passed out flyers that claimed "CSU administrators are threatening to suspend students and eject protesters for participating in the Occupy movement".
