The plans that will be included in the new Bikeways Plan for 2013-2018 were part of the reason for this meeting. The hope for the future is that there will be funding available to complete projects thanks to Congress passing the Federal Transportation Act and the Federal Lands Access Program (LAP). The grant funds applications to make improvements in the trails of Jelly Ferry and Bend Ferry are due on April 30th. There is also a funding opportunity through the National Recreation Access program to improve recreation pathways, bike trails and scenic byways. The website featuring complete sets of maps to all trail opportunities in the county from the Yollo Bolly's to Vina is expected to be ready for launch in June. This will allow both area residents and potential visitors to learn about the variety of activities that are available.

"We're in discussions," she said. "Nothing has been finalized." Amya Miller, Rikuzentakata's global public information officer, told the Times-Standard in an earlier interview that the city was "giddy" over news of the boat's find. In 2011, waves up to 62 feet high hit the city dependent on aquaculture and agriculture, destroying both industries. Rebuilding has been slow, Miller said, slower than anyone had imagined. The boat gave residents a reason to smile and laugh again, she said. "Just to know it made it, just to know it made it across the Pacific, that's just one of these things in life that no one is prepared for -- but in the best possible way," she said. "That something made it across the ocean is beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful." The new connection between Rikuzentakata and Crescent City -- which share the looming threat of tsunamis -- all began with a Facebook post. After hand-painted characters on the boat's side were roughly translated to say Takata High School, Humboldt State University geology professor Lori Dengler posted pictures on the city of Rikuzentakata's Facebook page. She'd been to the city twice -first within weeks of the tsunami, and second, a year later. Within a few hours, a teacher verified that the boat belonged to the destroyed school that lost students and instructors. It's unlikely anyone died on the boat, which Dengler said showed signs of being ripped from its mooring. "It's nice to know that they have official confirmation," she said. from Virginia and said he was offered control of the Union Army, but declined it after his native state seceded, not wanting to fight against them. Lee, who was married to a granddaughter of George Washington, lost his family farm, which later became Arlington Cemetery as a result of a ruling that property taxes must be paid in person, La Porta said. Both Confederate and Union soldiers were buried in Arlington and for the first year, as an insult, Confederates were buried face down because they were going to hell and Union soldiers face up because they were going to heaven, he said. Craig Poundstone gave a talk on the Henry rifle, which was later bought and modified by Winchester and had 14,000 of them made in a 3-year period, he said. Galen Scott talked about the Gatling Battery Gun, the predecessor to the modern day machine gun, of which 12 of them were purchased by the U.S. Army at the cost of $1,000. That would be equivalent to $1 million today, he said. Mark Baird, who plays Trooper Mud Duck, talked about life in the calvary. The group was originally called the Dragoons prior to 1859 and were used to guard wagon trains and get messages back and forth, he said. Initially the color of the horse denoted which company one was with — black was for Company A, gray for Company B and brown for Company C. Most members of the calvary carried everything they needed on the horse and tents were only available when they were with a wagon train, Baird said. Because of the difficulty in reloading, many members carried multiple pistols with them, he said. A 44 Colt Dragoon Revolver was powerful enough that if someone got shot in the wrist it would crack the bone all the way to the elbow, Baird said. A sword was kept handy for when a calvary soldier ran out of ammunition, he said. "You fought until you were dead or the battle was over," Baird said. Lastly, students visited David Vixe who played a freighter, but with his appearance being similar to Abraham Lincoln also gave a presentation of the Gettysburg Address. Berrendos Middle School Teacher Joe Barrios said he loves the program. "It's the greatest connection there is to what you learn in the classroom and what history really is," Barrios said. "It really just brings history to life in a tangible way. There's no way the students would sit in class for two hours and have gotten all of this." The reenactors will be continuing their reenactment from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Battles are noon and 3 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday. Cost is $5 for adults, $1 children 10 and under. A free shuttle service from the southwest corner of the Home Depot parking lot, 2650 N. Main St., is provided as there is no parking, aside from handicap parking, at Dog Island. Food will be sold by the Kiwanis Club. One student from each group had the chance to try on a Civil War uniform, made of wool, a highly flammable material, according to presenters. Both Confederate and Union soldiers were represented in the day with Ken Janson, who portrays a soldier attached to Hardaway's battery, a group from Alabama. Janson and his fellow musicians, including one on a fiddle and one playing spoons, showed off various versions both "Yankee" and Confederate and a verse involving Mary had a lamb of the song "Battle Cry of Freedom." "It was a mega hit in those days, which meant people would buy the sheet music and learn to play it," Janson said. "They didn't just download it. Everyone knew it and liked it." Explaining that bonnie in the song meant pretty, Janson then elaborated on the bonnie blue flag, which represented a state's right to break away from the United States, he said. At another rotation, Lt. Henry Martin, also representing the Confederate soldiers, talked about the stand of arms, a stack of guns together. During the Civil War, many firearms including a 1816 flintlock that was obsolete at the time the outbreak of the war, were brought into use by the end. The flintlock, which used a spark to set off the flash pan to set off the load in the weapon was unreliable and a person could do everything right and still misfire, he said. "If it rained, you might as well go home, but due to the dire necessity for weapons they were used in the Civil War," Martin said. Newer models, as early as 1842, had percussion plates instead of flint locks and a much better range, which led to a shift from Napoleonic style warfare of lining up and facing off to a trench warfare style, he said. Bayonets, more awkward to use if up close than the butt of the gun, were more frequently used as tent pegs and holders, Martin said. The 13th New York Artillery talked about types of weapons with Barry Zanni, portraying Cpl. Herkimer, talking about the process of loading one. Depending on the cannon, there was the 3-inch ordinance rifle, the 4-inch 12-pound Napoleon and the 3-inch Parrot. The Parrot was so named for the metal piece at the end with a ring of steel to help protect the crew, Zanni said. The cannons had the extra piece because they had been cast too quickly and were more likely to explode without the extra piece, he said. The 3-inch ordinance was one of the mainstays on the battlefield, but the Napoleon, which carried 26 or 27 steel balls inside of it, was the "queen of the battlefield". "It was a big gun and could do lots of damage," Zanni said. Shots, shells and canisters were the types of ammunition with a shot being a solid steel projectile that could be used against bricks, wood, fortresses or even iron ships, he said. The shells were round, hollow steel filled with gun pow——— der that a fuse was cut and placed into, Zanni said.

The steel balls could go between 150 to 300 yards and take out an area 16 people across and two ranks deep, Zanni said.
