Fukushima Fallout – Some Radio-Protective Nutrients and Homeopathic Remedies
by Alan V. Schmukler
Written by Alan V. Schmukler
The author discusses nutrients and homeopathic remedies that have a protective effect against radiation.
The radiation from Fukushima Japan has worked its way around the world via the winds. The French radiation watchdog agency CRIIRAD, found significant levels of radiation in the milk there and suggested that mothers of young children not let them drink milk, eat certain vegetables or drink rain water. It considered those activities "risky" behavior. 1
The atmospheric radiation moved west to east, and passed over the U.S. before it reached France. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found unacceptable levels of radioactive Iodine 131 in some U.S. milk samples. One batch registered at six times the EPA maximum safety threshold. 2 A sample from Hawaii also tested very high for Cesium 13 I and 134.
Instead of issuing warnings, the EPA proposed raising the acceptable levels of radiation by somewhere between 3000 and 100,000 times.3. They subsequently announced that since the Fukushima radiation is not really a problem, they wouldn't bother checking the milk again for another three months.4 If asked, they can always say…"We have no recent figures on that".
Since the radiation is turning up everywhere and in common foods, it becomes quite likely that everyone will consume it at some point. The obvious question is, "How can we protect ourselves?"
There are numerous substances which are rumored to offer protection against radiation. However, in a situation like this, rumor is not sufficient. Therefore, you will find below a list of substances whose efficacy is backed by at least some research. This is not an exhaustive list, but it will get you in the ballpark. You may evaluate these items and see which ones make most sense
for you. After the list of nutrients is a description of some homeopathic remedies whose symptom pictures fit the effects of radiation injury.
I invite readers to enlarge this list of researched substances having radio-protective effects.

"The curative-like use of apple-pectin food additives might be especially helpful for effective decorporation of Cesium-137. From 1996 to 2007 a total of more than 160,000 Belarussian children received pectin food additives during 18 to 25 days of treatment (5 g twice a day). As a result, levels of Cesium-137 in children's organs decreased after each course of pectin additives by an average of 30 to 40%".
Manufacture and application of various pectin-based food additives and drinks (using apples, currants, grapes, sea seaweed, etc.) is one of the most effective ways for individual radioprotection (through decorporation) under circumstances where consumption of radioactively contaminated food is unavoidable.
L-Carnitine ( a naturally occurring amino acid)
Comparison of protective effects of L-carnitine and amifostine on radiation-induced toxicity to growing bone: histopathology and scintigraphy findings.
"L-carnitine is equally as effective as amifostine at protecting growing bone against single dose irradiation damage"
Iodine Supplements
Radiation-induced thyroid cancer
Radioactive iodine, especially 131I, may be released into the environment as a result of nuclear reactor accidents. Thyroid accumulation of radioactive iodine increases the risk of developing thyroid cancer, especially in children. The increased iodine trapping activity of the thyroid gland in iodine deficiency results in increased thyroid accumulation of radioactive iodine (131I). Thus, iodine-deficient individuals are at increased risk of developing radiation-induced thyroid cancer because they will accumulate greater amounts of radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide administered in pharmacologic doses (50-100 mg for adults) within 48 hours before or eight hours after radiation exposure from a nuclear reactor accident can significantly reduce thyroid uptake of 131I and decrease the risk of radiation-induced thyroid cancer. The prompt and widespread use of potassium iodide prophylaxis in Poland after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear
reactor accident may explain the lack of a significant increase in childhood thyroid cancer in Poland compared to fallout areas where potassium iodide prophylaxis was not widely used. In the U.S., the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that consideration be given to potassium iodide as a protective measure for the general public in the case of a major release of radioactivity
from a nuclear power plant.
Food sources of Iodine
Food sources of iodine in mcg : Salt (iodized) 1 gram 77mcg, Egg, boiled 1 large 12mcg, Navy beans, cooked 1/2 cup 32 mcg, Potato with peel, baked 1 medium 60 mcg, Turkey breast, baked 3 ounces 34 mcg, Seaweed 1/4 ounce, dried Variable; may be greater than 4,500 mcg (4.5 mg).

Beta 1,3, Glucan Derived from Baker's yeast
Beta-1,3-glucan's radiation protection effects were shown in 1985 when the U.S. Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute announced the results of their recent experiments.
Myra D. Patchen, M.D., and her team at the Institute exposed mice to lethal doses of radiation.
When the mice were given an oral dose of beta-1,3-glucan after the radiation exposure, 70% were completely protected from the damaging effects. Dr. Patchen also suggested that beta-1,3-glucan
should be considered as an effective way of rebuilding the immune system and preventing infection following chemotherapy and radiation in cancer treatment. Dr. Patchen further suggested that beta-1,3-glucan appears to work as a free-radical scavenger (anti-oxidant) and may even protect the macrophages from damage by radiation, toxins, heavy

Abstract – The present study aimed to evaluate the radioprotective efficacy of green tea polyphenols and the component ingredients against irradiated-induced damage in mice and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. GTP and its bioactive components (catechin, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate) assisted in decreasing the leukocytopenia seen after whole mice irradiation and significantly reduced the elevated serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-?, IL-1?, and IL-6). Green tea polyphenols have a potential to be developed as radioprotective agents against irradiated-induced
toxicity.

Results from animal experiments indicate that antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin E and selenium compounds, are protective against lethality and other radiation effects but to a lesser degree than most synthetic protectors. Some antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have the advantage of low toxicity although they are generally protective when administered at pharmacological doses. Naturally occurring antioxidants also may provide an extended window of protection against low-dose, low-dose-rate irradiation, including therapeutic potential when administered after irradiation. A number of phytochemicals, including caffeine, genistein, and melatonin, have multiple physiological effects, as well as antioxidant activity, which result in radioprotection in vivo.
Water soluble Vitamin E (TMG) as a Radioprotector.
Tocopherol monoglucoside (TMG), a water soluble derivative of vitamin E offers protection against deleterious effects of ionizing radiation
Embryonic mortality resulting from exposure of pregnant mice to ionizing radiation (2 Gy) was reduced by 75% by ip administration of TMG (0.6 g/kg, body wt) prior to irradiation. TMG offered protection to mice against whole body gamma-radiation-induced lethality and weight loss. The LD50(30) of mice increased from 6 to 6.72 Gy upon post irradiation administration of a single dose of TMG (0.6 g/kg, body wt) by ip.
Radioprotective potential of ginseng (genus Panax)
This review addresses the issue of the radioprotective effects of ginseng on mammalian cells both in vitro and in vivo. Results indicate that the water-soluble extract of whole ginseng appears to give a better protection against radiation-induced DNA damage than does the isolated ginsenoside fractions.

Citrus extract
Radioprotective effects of citrus extract against gamma-irradiation in mouse bone marrow cells.
The radioprotective effects of citrus extract were investigated by using the micronucleus test for anticlastogenic and cell proliferation activity. The flavonoids contained in citrus extract reduced the clastogenic effect of radiation on mice bone marrow. Therefore fruits and vegetables containing flavonoids may be useful under such stress conditions as irradiation.

Abstract – The radioprotective effect of miso, a fermentation product from soy bean, was investigated with reference to the survival time, crypt survival and jejunum crypt length in male B6C3F1 mice. Miso at three different fermentation stages (early-, medium- and long-term fermented miso) was mixed in MF diet into biscuits at 10% and was administered from 1 week
before irradiation. Animal survival in the long-term fermented miso group was significantly prolonged as compared with the short-term fermented miso and MF cases after 8 Gy of 60Co-gamma-ray irradiation at a dose rate of 2Gy min(-1). Delay in mortality was evident in all three miso groups, with significantly increased survival. At doses of 10 and 12 Gy X-irradiation at a dose rate of 4 Gy min(-1), the treatment with long-term fermented miso significantly increased crypt survival. Also the protective influence against irradiation in terms of crypt lengths in the long-term fermented miso group was significantly greater than in the short-term or medium-term fermented miso and MF diet groups. Thus, prolonged fermentation appears to be very important for protection against radiation effects.

Tulsi (Herb)
Ocimum tenuiflorum (also tulsi, tulas?, or Holy Basil)
Tulsi is cultivated for religious and medicinal purposes, and for its essential oil. It is widely known across South Asia as a medicinal plant and an herbal tea. It also shows some promise for protection from radiation poisoning.
Note:Contraindications – Holy Basil should not be taken while pregnant or nursing or for an extended period of time. Use caution if you have high blood pressure or rheumatic heart disease.

Abstract -The radioprotective effect of a non-toxic bioactive component in plant milk thistle, silibinin against genotoxicity induced by gamma-irradiation was investigated in vivo/in vitro. Our extended animal studies suggest that oral administration of silibinin (70mg/kg for 3 days)
to mice prior to whole-body gamma-exposure (7.5Gy) resulted in significant protection to radiation-induced mortality and DNA damage in blood leukocytes. However, silibinin treatment after irradiation was not as effective as pre-administration.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the radioprotective action of 2 mg/kg naringin in the bone marrow of mice exposed to different doses of 60Co ??radiation. Treatment of mice with 2 mg/kg body wt naringin before exposure to various doses of ??radiation resulted in a significant reduction in the frequencies of aberrant cells and chromosomal aberrations like acentric fragments, chromatid and chromosome breaks, centric rings, dicentrics and exchanges. Our study demonstrates that naringin can protect mouse bone marrow cells against radiation-induced chromosomal damage.

Strontium is chemically and biologically similar to calcium, and is incorporated primarily into bone following internal deposition. Alginic acid (alginate) obtained from seaweed (kelp) extract selectively binds ingested strontium in the gastrointestinal tract blocking its systemic uptake and reducing distribution to bone in rats. Alginate exhibits the unique ability to discriminate between strontium and calcium and has been previously shown to reduce intestinal absorption and skeletal retention of strontium without changing calcium metabolism.
Homeopathic Remedies for Radiation Effects
These homeopathic remedies are not suggested as prophylaxis and as always, must be chosen on the symptom complex. This is only a sample of the possible remedies.
Radium bromatum –Severe aching pains and great restlessness. Anxious, fear of being alone in the dark and desires company. Dreams of fire. Violent cramping in abdomen. Severe pain in all limbs. Itching all over body. Necrosis and ulceration. Internal chill with heat of skin.
Cadmium sulph – Terrible nausea, black vomit, freezing cold and can't get warm. Also vomits green mucus, blood, or "coffee grounds". Bloody-black offensive stools. Extreme exhaustion.
Ipecacuanha – Constant nausea not relieved by vomiting. Bloody slimy stools. Bleeding from lungs with nausea. Tongue clear. Profuse salivation and thirstless. Worse from the slightest motion and from warmth.
Phosphorus – Bleeding bright red blood from any orifice. Craves ice cold drinks but vomits them soon after. Heightened sensitivity to noise, odors, lights and startles easily.. Fear of being alone. Exhausting diarrhea.
Arsenicum album – Anxious, chilly, restless, exhausted, thirsty for small sips. Burning pains relieved by heat, fear of being alone, worse after midnight.
Xray –Stiff neck, sticking pains in head and face. Nausea, rheumatic pain, tired, sick feeling. Tongue dry, rough , sore. Dry skin and painful cracks. Chronic itching eruptions.

White mice were exposed to X radiation with a power of 100 to 200 rad (non lethal dosage) and were then evaluated after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Ginseng 6X, 30CH and 200CH and Ruta graveolans 30CH and 200CH were given before and after the radiation. In comparison to mice who received placebo, those who were administered with homeopathic medicines presented significantly less damage in cells and chromosomes. (A.R. Khuda-Bukhsh, S.

Yasmin Ciprian says:
Thank you for you helpful article on remedies that protect again radiation. It's good to see someone stepping up to help with nuclear disasters.
Alan Schmukler says:
Dear Yasmin,
Torako Yui is the homeopath who introduced homeopathy to Japan. She has been working hard to help those in the affected areas, by using homeopathic remedies. We all need to step up to help the world heal.
Joy Metcalf says:
While the list of preventives is interesting, it's mostly less than useful unless one wants to take a handful of supplements each day. More useful would be a list of foods that contain those substances. From the few food sources that are mentioned, it appears, as always, that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, with perhaps some fish thrown in, is the best thing we can do to protect ourselves.
The EPA changing the "safe" radiation levels points out just how useless government agencies really are. We need to take our health in our own hands and not depend on government protection.
Dear Joy,
Thanks for your comment. I agree that depending on the government is a false hope anymore. A good diet goes a long way towards health.
Eva Fox-Gál says:
I really appreciate your article on the recent Fukoshima radiation leaks.
It is very helpful indeed to have summaries of the research on the various prophylactic supplements, as well as remedy suggestions.
a big factor in attracting radiation is the level of toxic metal that is already in the organism. alphs Lipoic Acid, shark liver oil , and Black walnut tincture are all possible aids in chelating out toxic metals.
Alan V. Schmukler says:
Dear Eva,
I'm glad you found the article helpful and thank you for those excellent tips.
Johanna Arnold- Stevens says:
An excellent compilation of research done on radiation damage, its consequences and methods of alleviation. I love the homeopathic remedy selection. Why oh why does the world not adopt this approach? Maybe in the future. In the mean time, the world is getting smaller and there are quite a number of potential Chernobyls and Fukushimas in the world which might see humanity needing this information. Thank you.
Marijke Creveld says:
Please look at the homeopathic remedy: DIOSPYROS KAKI CREVELD made from the Kaki tree in Nagasaki which survived the plutonium bombing in 1945. A remedy very good helping with radiation and also with the trauma. I have helped also some people with problems after Chernobyl with this remedy.
on my website is an article about Diospyros and radiation.

Dear Alan V. Schmukler
I am glad to read such a thorough article on the disaster. We really needed to know more about how to manage such a global problem. It has become one of our main public health challenges.
Thank you so much for your nice scientific article. Good Luck
Dear Dr. Sadeghi,
Thank you for your comment. It is indeed a worldwide problem, but the newspapers are not giving the whole story.

Dear FaMa,
Hopefully we can compensate for much of this with our knowledge of healing.

US police officer allegedly aids Islamic State fighters
A police officer working for the Washington transport system has been charged with aiding militants of so-called Islamic State (IS).
Federal officials said Nicholas Young, 36, sent an FBI informant about $250 worth of credits for mobile messaging accounts used by IS fighters.
Mr Young's arrest marks the first time a US police officer has been charged with helping IS militants.
Authorities said there was no threat to the Washington transport system.
Mr Young had been under investigation since 2010, the FBI said.
The FBI said that Mr Young had travelled in 2011 to Libya to fight with rebels trying to overthrow President Muammar Gaddafi. He packed body armour and other military gear, authorities said.
Authorities said Mr Young was an acquaintance of Amine El Khalifi, who later pleaded guilty to plotting a suicide bombing at the US Capitol Building in 2012.
Mr Young, who has worked for the Washington transport system since 2003, was fired after he was arrested.
"Obviously, the allegations in this case are profoundly disturbing. They're disturbing to me, and they're disturbing to everyone who wears the uniform," said Paul Wiedefeld, the general manager of the transport system.

"Feeding the Willingness to Learn"
Almirante Fugante Tivane, 9 years, is one of the children who never used to bring a lunch to school. Neither would you find any coins in his pocket to buy snacks at the nearby kiosk. In fact, Almirante never ate anything during the whole school day. The small and shy 1st-grader was used to spend the long hours at school with an empty stomach. It is no wonder that all of the curly letters and meandering numbers on the blackboard seemed somewhat bewildering in the beginning. The teachers were already beginning to loose hope with the absent-minded little boy.
Like most children in rural Mozambique, Almirante comes from a poor family. As nearly 45% of the children in the country, he also used to live in chronic malnutrition. His father was a basket maker and his mother works at her tiny vegetable field, but the family could hardly afford for more than one meal a day. More than often, it would consist of a traditional maize flour porridge called xima. Only on special occasions would it be served with a cassava leaf or cabbage stew.
Life became even more difficult when Almirante's father passed away and left his mother alone to raise two young boys. It was at this point when Almirante's older brother who had dropped out of school had to be sent away to be raised by another family.
Almirante was luckier: during his first year of school, the primary school that he attended was selected to benefit from the School Feeding Project. Thanks to the daily meal served at his school, Almirante was able to stay with his mother and continue going to school ñ now without an empty stomach!
many of his stronger schoolmates in height and weight and now joins in their football games without hesitation.
As if to prove this, Almirante grabs the basket his father had made to carry his schoolbooks, swings it around his neck with a carefree move and runs off towards the school.

Happy Together had its premiere in the beginning of march 2020. After two shows, the theatres were shut down due to the world-wide pandemic. The tour was resumed in september 2020, and finished in december 2021.
In the context of lockdowns and social distancing, it felt very meaningful to present this work about family and intimacy. Happy Together is a physical, playful work about family, performed by and created with a 'real' family. My parents Erik and Nanette, my brother Ster and me.
In scene after scene, the family searches for the essence of family, and tries to figure out who they want to be together. The practice the art of the farewell, they wonder about their family history, the perform intimate duets and dance to a certain song from the 60s. At the same time, the show is about the show: a family trying to figure out how to put on a show, in every meaning of this phrase. Happy Together is about care, about carrying (and being carried) and about collective identities.

Proprietorship To Private Limited
To increase the amount of business, an individual can go for the process of conversion of proprietorship into a company. For such process, an individual requires to have or enter into a formal agreement for the process of conversion.

Conversion of Proprietorship into Company- An Overview
A proprietorship or more commonly known as a sole proprietorship is an entity which is managed by a single individual. There are no concerns related to the management of a sole proprietorship as the business is managed by an individual.
If there is an increase in business of the individual, then the liabilities would also increase. Hence, it is crucial to limit the liability of the sole proprietor. The personal concerns of the sole proprietor must be differentiated and distinguished from the business entity. The best option for a sole proprietor is to go for conversion of proprietorship into company.
However, there is a formal process to carry forward for the above. An agreement must be formally drafted between the sole proprietorship and the company. Such an agreement is known as a "Slump Sale Agreement". One of the primary objectives which has to considered in the objects of the MOA is to take over the business of a sole proprietor.
Why Conversion of Proprietorship into Company is suitable?
The process of conversion or proprietorship into company is suitable for an individual due to the following reasons:
Limited Liability-
The liability of a sole proprietorship entity is unlimited. This form of liability is not present when considering a business of a private limited company. Limited liability means the liability is limited to only a particular amount of capital contributed to the company. By conversion of proprietorship into company, an individual can get the benefits of limited liability.
Less Responsibility-
By conversion of proprietorship into a company, an individual would have less responsibility. As a company has more amounts of shareholders and directors, the responsibility would be delegated to other individuals.
Benefits of Conversion of Proprietorship into Company
The following benefits can be enjoyed by a sole proprietor through conversion of proprietorship into company:
Liability is Limited-
The main reason for conversion of proprietorship into company is the principle of limited liability. Limited liability means the liability is limited to only a specific amount of unpaid capital of the firm.
Perpetual Succession-
This would mean after the death of the proprietorship concern, the entity will come to an end. This is not for a private limited company or a company. Even after the exit of an individual the company would still be operating.
Ability to Raise Funds-
Private limited companies would easily be able to raise funds from different sources.
More Reputation-
A private limited company would definitely have more reputation when compared to a sole proprietorship concern. The company would be registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This registration would make the company more reputed in the eyes of the public.
Eligibility Criteria for Conversion of Proprietorship into Company
The following eligibility criteria have to be satisfied for conversion of proprietorship into company:
DIN- All the directors of the private limited company have to have a director identification number.
Minimum Directors- A minimum of two directors must be appointed to manage the affairs of a private limited company.
Shareholders- A minimum of two shareholders have to be appointed to look into the affairs of the company.
No Minimum Capital Requirements- As per the Companies (Amendment Act) 2015, there is requirement for conversion of a proprietorship into a company.
Conditions for Conversion of Proprietorship into Company
The following conditions have to be satisfied for conversion of proprietorship into company:
All the assets and liabilities of the proprietorship get transferred to the company.
The individual sole proprietor shareholding should not be less than 50%.
The shareholding must be valid for a period of 5 years.
No benefits related to allotment of shares must be provided to the sole proprietor.
Sale Agreement or the takeover agreement must be carried out between the proprietorship firm and the company.
In the MOA, one of the objectives of the business must be the takeover of the business of the sole proprietorship.
The following procedure has to be considered for conversion of proprietorship into company:
Slump Sale Formalities- In the first step, the proprietor has to complete the steps related to slump sale.
Secure the DIN and DSC for the directors- In the next step, the sole proprietor has to obtain the DIN and the DSC for all the directors.
Check and Apply for Name Availability in Form 1- In the next step, the individual would have to apply for checking the name availability.
Prepare MOA and AOA- In the next step, the proprietor has to draft the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association. In the MOA the main objectives of the business must be stated.
Go online and apply for Company Registration- In the next step, the applicant must go online to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to apply for the process of company registration.
Submit Documents- All the documents related to conversion of proprietorship into company must be submitted online.

Eureka City Council Says Yes to Some Expensive Items
Posted By Linda Stansberry @lcstansberry on Fri, Jun 22, 2018 at 3:04 PM
Courtesy of the city of Eureka
The Eureka City Council.
Eureka police officers will be getting a raise, two parcels near the Samoa Bridge are inching closer to development as an RV park, the Greater Eureka Chamber of Commerce is on the move and residents will soon be paying a little bit more for garbage collection. These are just a handful of key items the Eureka City Council decided this week as a part of a packed agenda that could permanently change the fiscal and visual state of the city.
The council kicked off with a special meeting and discussion of staff recommendations for the city-owned property on C-to-F streets. Director of Development Services Rob Holmlund presented the results of three years worth of research and community input on possible changes to the waterfront. Public meetings on the future of the area, which stretches roughly three blocks and is currently a mixture of city and privately owned property, much of it unused, resulted in some common ideas about future use. People agreed that they would like to see building construction similar to the rest of Old Town, some mixed-use buildings that combine retail and commercial storefronts with stacked residential units, smaller parking lots and green open spaces.
"Many of the comments received invoked the feeling of a shared community space for events and public activities (e.g. watching fireworks on the 4th of July)," the staff report stated.
There was also considerable support for a waterfront hotel, in part to boost income for the city through its transient occupancy tax. Staff ultimately recommended an option that would allow for development of a hotel and restaurant on H Street, a piece of land that is currently privately owned by the Union Pacific Railroad Co. The company does not have any current plans to build a hotel but is interested in selling that tract of land, and the city's development services division may play matchmaker to a potential buyer.
The vision for city owned property at C to F includes a small strip of parking, a dog park, playground and green space, as well as an area for retail development and a food truck. All of these recommendations are taking place in tandem with the upcoming revision of the city's General Plan, due to go before the city council in September, with an overhaul of city zoning codes to follow. Holmlund says the C-to-F plan can move forward without any changes to the zoning code. Despite some pushback from Councilmember Marian Brady, who expressed uneasiness that the project is moving too quickly and about the (as yet undetermined) financial commitment, the council ultimately found consensus and agreed to allow city staff to move forward with its preferred option. According to the staff report, this option "would result in 387 jobs" and housing for 145 full-time residents.

Public comment at the regularly scheduled city council meeting was once again dominated by controversy over the Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction, with several local residents and business owners voicing their concerns that the needle exchange program has contributed to ongoing problems with homelessness and needle litter. Several people have called for the establishment of a "one-to-one" needle exchange, despite best practices guidelines from the California Department of Public Health that promote a needs-based approach. Councilmember Heidi Messner interjected her own comment once all the speakers had finished, tersely reminding them that several councilmembers have been working on getting a meeting with the state board of health for more than a month and plan to bring back recommendations on the subject.
Several items on the city's consent calendar — including approval for the city to begin negotiations for the development of the Samoa Bridge Properties (the proposed RV park) and authorization of a $250,000 loan to Danco to develop an affordable senior housing project at Seventh Street and Myrtle Avenue — passed without discussion. Senior Personnel Analyst Will Folger did make a presentation on a pulled consent calendar item regarding a 5-percent base salary increase for Eureka Police Department sworn officer and communications dispatch positions. This raises would necessitate the freezing of four currently vacant positions over the next fiscal year, with the hopes that a raise will improve the ability to increase retention and recruit more officers. Folger called the current recruitment and retention problem a "crisis." The council voted unanimously in favor of the pay increases.
A rate adjustment for solid waste collection through the current provider Recology Humboldt was also approved after a short back-and-forth between Councilmember Austin Allison and Director of Community Services Miles Slattery. The current rates were due to be revisited by the council in September and Allison asked if an adjustment could wait until them. Slattery replied that the current adjustment, a 1.82-percent increase in the amount charged for collection, was necessary for the city's annual contract renewal with the company. The rate hike, which should cost city garbage customers an estimated extra 50 cents per month beginning July 1, passed unanimously.
The council also lavished praise on two action items geared toward stimulating tourism and economic growth, including termination of a lease between the city and the Greater Eureka Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber constructed and maintained its current building at 2112 Broadway on a parcel of city-owned land with a 51-year lease. Donna Wright, the chamber's executive director, explained that the entity was ready to go in an exciting new direction with a business incubator and new headquarters in Eureka's Old Town. The chamber was looking to kick off these efforts with the help of $100,000 in compensation from the city after terminating the lease. Holmlund referred to the plan as a "win-win" for all involved, with the city having the option to either sell the building at around $460,000 or lease it to another business for around $3,000 a month. Support was unanimous, as was the vote in favor of adopting a memorandum of understanding for funding and construction of a Redwood Canopy Walk at the Sequoia Park Zoo. The MOU between the city, the Eureka Lodging Alliance and Humboldt Lodging Alliance included $1 million from the ELA and $500,000 from the HLA; a celebration of the funding was held earlier that day at the zoo. The canopy walk, scheduled to be finished in spring 2020, will allow visitors to walk 60 feet above the zoo in the redwood canopies.
The only item of the evening which drew some controversy among councilmembers was the recommendation to invite eight new potential cannabis retailers to submit Conditional Use Permit applications for various locations in the city. The proposed sites include currently vacant buildings and parcels on West Fourth Street, Broadway, Fifth Street, Fourth Street, Summer Street and 14th Street, meaning that if they were all approved, almost every major street through the city would have some kind of cannabis-related storefront. (Retailers are prohibited from using signage that has pot leaves or similarly provocative images.)
The city also has some built-in limits to curtail the growth of the industry, with the council only able to permit two retail facilities every six months. Holmlund said the new businesses are going into areas with chronic vacancy and improving under-developed lots, such as the former Humboldt Plastics company next to the current S.T.I.L. glass shop, which could become a large cannabis retail store. Public comment on the item, which fell toward the end of a meeting that stretched until 10 p.m., was largely favorable, with one man saying he had seen a boom in construction since the legalization of cannabis in Humboldt County.
Brady was the lone dissenting vote, expressing concerns about a "lack of consistency" with approving so many permit applications.
