Call friends to just come on down and get their grant funds. Web site a little hard to get to but might be interesting for some of you to see. Headwaters funds were supposedly to be able to replace jobs lost but were split into three funds. The one fund I never thought they should put money into was the venture capital fund. Most of that money if not all of it would be lost. Even the venture capital experts don't have good track records across the country.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the workers could apply for a Headwaters grant to formulate the "plan".<BR/><BR/>Some people think shop local means K-Mart, Safeway, Ray's, etc. None of those are local they just employ local people. Same thing as any other big box does. Some boxes are better than others and actually pay benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-5165450116559414772007-08-04T07:57:00.000-07:002007-08-04T07:57:00.000-07:00Hey Rich, how's it working out with your new boss?...Hey Rich, how's it working out with your new boss?

Fire and Light, Mazzoti's catering, Humboldt Botanical Garden, Buckeye conservacy, other shortsighted City and County pet projects, you know, businesses that do not pay a living wage but make you "feel" good about the Headwaters money going somewhere.

For you natives that still live there do your best to take care of and keep your LOCAL owned companies.And the big corps out.<BR/> A good example i did not ever eat at the Seafood Grotto until after I moved away from Humboldt county.
