RE; Law Enforcement section in Eureka Article.
What is the point of this detail over a current scandal in a permanent entry of the culture and history and government of Eureka. What are you trying to accomplish? Why is trying this here and not in the local papers...your paper. Why do you insist on trying such a dissaster in an online encyclopedia?

The following is my response to your response in the Eureka webpage: '' What is the point of details of such scandal herein? This is not a court or a newspaper, but rather a place to highlight various details of culture and history and political aspects of a community. The history and cultural trends over the decades best serves a community profile such as this one. It seems the editor so vested in the minute detail of recent tragic law enforcement issues has an axe to grind and can do it here for free. I am a six generation native of Humboldt and maintain property there and where I currently reside nearby so my concern over this is merited as much as anyone. In any case this focus on a current scandal in this forum is absurd. But most of all, it is unnecessary.Norcalal 04:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)''

These events serve a forum as this one when perspective has been achieved over time...and a reference to such an event is best when tempered by distance and when in the context of the forum one is in.

How about a sweeping article on "Violence and upheaval in a monoculture." These issues are common to locales that had a one horse economy and now the horse is dead. The drugs, social disadvantage and fear of authorities has been played out over and over again in many places....Eureka's sad story on these issues is the result of a region convulsing over the inability to solve its problems. I think it would serve us all to determine this in the light of a this aspect of human behavior under the stresses that are experienced by a locale such as Eureka. I see the frustration of concerned persons who want to play out such detail in a forum so inapropriate for that as another casualty of such strain.

In any case, go ahead and bash the police and the authorities and locals of Eureka all you want. Nohing, however, will change until time and circumstances change the region and provide it with the hope an vigor that can only come from economic success. Norcalal 04:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please forgive an error in timing only...as a result of my large restructuring to come into agreement with the WikiProject for Cities...
In my retructuring, I to let you know that I kept all your information. In Fact, I left all information that previously existed. AS you will note the entire Eureka Police Department scandal is intact as you wrote it. My only error was to miss the recent changes you made this afternoon.

I hope you will both review carefully and be able to appreciate the work I did. I have tremendous respect for Eureka, the editors herein, and ALL the information that was present as I completed this endeavor.

My earlier irritations have been tempered as I have worked through newcomer status. Norcalal 00:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

What happened to the Humboldt Sentinel? Is it gone? It was really good. I and others miss it.
