I don't think he has a set pattern given his duties elsewhere, just like Ernie. Hopefully he'll be enlisting the help of 'staff contributors' in the future offering more articles.<br /><br />The role of news has had a 'shaking out' in Humboldt as of late. Some media have been descending in their coverage while others are ascending-- to the changing role of information. Ernie, Kym, other web sites, public radio, Access Humboldt, and some print sources have risen somewhat to fill the gap. All seem to have their special niche and territory now-- while others have fallen by the wayside.skippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-2118503141752630722011-09-25T09:22:31.403-07:002011-09-25T09:22:31.403-07:00Well I guess it's wait for a pattern as there ...Well I guess it's wait for a pattern as there seems to not be any kind souls out there in Ernie's blogland.<br /><br />OregonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-86860383875730440132011-09-24T08:26:09.853-07:002011-09-24T08:26:09.853-07:00I have scanned the HS and with my feeble mind and ...I have scanned the HS and with my feeble mind and am not able to figure out how often the Sentinel is updated.

The <b>City of Fortuna</b>-- and the <b>Fortuna Chamber of Commerce</b>—wanted to make their own unique video of their special community. <b>Erin Dunn</b>, CEO of the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce, said the idea originated from resident <b>Jo Anne Center</b> after she saw the Grand Rapids production.<br /><br />“<i>I WONDERED how we could accomplish it-- and thought of the producing team of <b>Erin</b> from the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce and <b>Ross Rowley</b> from <b>Eureka Television Group</b></i>,” Joanne said. Erin Dunn, Rotary member and city booster, said this was an idea for the Rotary Club's District Conference that Fortuna is hosting in June 2012 and to promote Sunny Fortuna and the Rotary Conference in a single project. <b>Rotary District 5130</b>, the <b>Chamber of Commerce</b>, and the <b>City of Fortuna</b> sponsored the “<i>Celebrate</i>” video production.<br /><br /><b>Debbie Reynolds</b> of the River Lodge, <b>Erin Dunn, Ross Rowley</b>, and award-winning video producers <b>Rick and Matt St. Charles</b> of <i><b>Great Minds Productions</b></i>, were the initial Lip-Dub organizational team. While the Lip-Dub seems to be done in a single unedited shot lasting only 5 minutes, a lot of preparation took place prior to the actual filming. The orientation, preparation, and filming of the shoot took over 5 hours-- during the course of two days. Launched on YouTube, the video has had 2,400 views to date. Springville’s got step and Ernie got breakfast.<br /><br />A CASTING CALL went out for community members to participate. The nearly 100 people included were: the <b>Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary, the Fortuna Police, Redwood Auto Expo and Fortuna Rodeo boosters, educators and cheerleaders, city staffers and students and young gymnasts, 4-H’ers in dress blues, familiar faces in town, business owners, movers and shakers, Rotarians and Chamber members, a well known County Supervisor and Sheriff Officer incognito, Huskies supporters and Umpqua bankers, a Scotty McCreery lookalike, Redwood Memorial Hospitalians and the Pink Ladies, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, the Gardening Ladies, a yellow truck and matching Harley, a modified Featherlite stock and people trailer, a red feather boa, multiple banners, globes, and red heart balloons, a kayak, Rocky the Flying Ferret, dogs, horses, <i>and a goat named Buster</i></b>… among others. The only thing missing? Fortuna’s infamously friendly tractors.<br /><br />THE MUSIC? <i>”Yahoo! Celebrate Good Times… Come On!”</i> You know this one: <i>Celebration</i> by Kool and the Gang; 1980.<br /> <br />(Hat tip to <b>Franklin Stover</b> of the <i><b>Humboldt Beacon</b></i>. To note, if you have the opportunity to see Mr. Stover play his uniquely extinct Prussian instruments and rare accompanying music from the early 1900s, it’s a special treat that you don’t want to miss. It’s a spectacular performance rescued from the forgotten ethers of time-- and sometimes seen at the Fortuna Monday Club)skippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-49269511801179840082011-09-21T11:44:46.888-07:002011-09-21T11:44:46.888-07:00Ross, yea north of mercury.

Granted, I don’t get out much, but ooh-la-la-- what a production! A star-studded cast, a happy and upbeat dancing number, the feel–good and down-home <i>celebration</i> of it all, what isn’t there to like? Everyone should see it. Kudos to all taking part— even the goats and horses. The kids and teens, firefighters, Rotary, Kiwanians, FPD, 4H, Steve Knight, Clif, Umpqua Bank, and… well, <i>you know who you all are</i>— rock. This is the best thing since sliced bread.<br /><br />Next, Charles Douglas has worked hard creating the <i>Humboldt Sentinel</i> site. Thanks, Ernie. Charles has covered many local issues, events, and doing more than his share of interviews, a Baker’s Dozen or more, with local politicos for <i>Access Humboldt</i> and the video version of the <i>Sentinel</i>. This is a volunteer labor of love and editing. A fine young man with a magnetic memory for history, details, people, and a natural penchant for reporting and production, Charles is on a quest for truth, justice, and the American way, a noble mission wherever it’s been hiding and the best thing since sliced bread and butter.<br /><br />Pepsi? Ernie, you deserve a cold Pepsi for your clean bill of health, running a fine business and employing good people watching over it, and looking out for the community. The Pepsi was from <i>all of us</i> (you know who you are). I happened to be there that shweltering and shweddy 102* day keeping a pulse on the local community. It was so hot you could lay an egg on the sidewalk. Three—count ‘em, 3-- folks led me down the merry yellow brick road to Ernie’s place having good things to say about him. Really, I checked it out; it's all <i>bona fide</i>. Ernie’s the pillar of the community, a living legend, and the best thing since sliced bread met bratwurst, sausage, headcheese, and home made pickles.<br /><br />Excuse me, I have to vacuum the house now.
