A ‘Village’ divided City council vote stops student housing project

LIFE & ARTS

MORE THAN A MUSIC VENUE

by Tony Wallin The Arcata community filled the city council chamber on Aug. 29, only to witness a deadlock between their city council members over a student housing project.

Mike Pitino and Mayor Sofia Pereira denied council member Susan Ornelas’ motion to approve the project as a concept if Humboldt State University and developer AMCAL were willing to adjust their proposal.

Another motion laid out

by Pitino to continue as is was also denied from a protest vote by both Ornelas and Brett Watson, who abstained from voting.

Account not verified Parody profile has significant following

by Alex Harris & Tony Wallin Over 1,000 or so Instagram users, whether knowingly or not, have been following an account parodying as the official Humboldt County Instagram profile.

Although some are aware @humboldtcounty is a parody, the account’s high number of followers has bolstered it as the top result when searching for Humboldt County on Instagram.

KRFH News reporter Tera Winston-Doble said she was told by a friend about this seemingly official page with questionable content. She said she found it to contain some posts, under the guise of parody, to have racist rhetoric and others that seem to shame the homeless community.

“It’s the first thing that shows up on Humboldt County on Instagram.” Winston-Doble said. “Lots of people are sharing posts and tagging it.”

Outer Space Arcata gives safe space for marginalized to create

by Tony Wallin

Most towns and cities have a do-it-yourself music venue. Sacramento has the Red Museum, Santa Rosa has the Hendley Hotel and Berkeley has The Gilman. Arcata has Outer Space. However, you can’t simply call Outer Space a music venue. Outer Space has what others do not: the Breakfast All Day Collective.

Breakfast All Day Collective, or B.A.D. Collective, was started by HSU alumni Alex Nordquist and Zev Smith-Danford. Nordquist, who is from the greater Los Angeles area, earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology. Smith-Danford, from the eastern San Francisco Bay Area, was a journalism student that used to write for the Lumberjack. Both have lived in Arcata for eight to nine years and spent the last five growing the collective.

Nordquist said it all started with opening up their homes to underground house shows.

“Arcata has a really long history of having a pretty thriving underground DIY art scene. Arcata has more artists per capita than anywhere else,” she said. “It was a way to lend legitimacy to

our booking of bands when we were bringing them into our home.”

“We know that the young college population that comes up here often feels so isolated,” Smith-Danford said. “Having a space in Arcata could potentially be much more long lasting and fulfill the great need that has existed here.”

Although Nordquist and Smith-Danford are officially the project managers, they flatten the power structure in the collective.

Ultimately every decision is brought into group discussion. They are 100 percent volunteer run, the youngest

being under 10 years old and the oldest over 60.

There is no board of directors, only the core collective members made up of those who put in time, energy and interest.

The collective meets on Wednesday nights at Outer Space. They sit in a circle as they discuss the week’s agenda. The meetings begin with names and preferred pronouns: he, she, they, they’re and them, making sure everyone is addressed correctly.

Everyone has an equal voice and the atmosphere is welcoming and all-inclusive.

Football program cut will create ripple effect Loss of football program also means loss of diversity, opportunity

L

umberjack football has been a staple of Humboldt for over 90 years. But this season will be the last for the foreseeable future and this community is losing more than just a team.

Football brings more to the table than just sports.

Student-athletes chose this school to pursue their education and to chase their dream of playing college football.

Terminating Jacks football will be the conclusion of a program that has been a part of Humboldt since 1924, not long after HSU’s founding.

The program has seen some standout stars and big-time players along the way. Lumberjacks 2017 All-American offensive lineman Alex Cappa was selected 94th overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this year’s NFL draft. Though not signed to a team currently, former Jack’s running back Ja’Quan Gardner had signed a contract with the 49ers before they finalized their roster.

HSU says they do their due

diligence to remain somewhat ethnically balanced while bringing in students from all over California. This practice is misleading as the university’s surrounding areas have many racial undertones. The football team is one part of the school that was true to HSU’s message of inclusivity.

Where there were once young men of all races working diligently towards the same goal, there will no longer be. The locker room that once brought men together will be empty.

HSU will honor scholarships for eligible players through the 2018-19 academic year, and coaches and staff will also help players contact other programs. At the end of the season, players will get a full release, which means they could choose to play at another institution.

President Lisa Rossbacher called it an unfortunate but necessary step in addressing the University’s structural deficit and protecting the school’s core academic mission. In her “mission” she has

neglected a big part of what is supposed to make this university great.

The closing statement of our mission states: “We help individuals prepare to be responsible members of diverse societies.”

Less than four percent of HSU’s student population is African American and less than two percent of faculty are African American. Where is the diversity? Where is the care for the individual student?

HSU has experienced low-

er enrollment over the last two years. Fall enrollment has dropped by more than 400 students. This dip has had a measurable impact on the budget and the loss of football will expectedly lead to an additional decline in enrollment, which in turn will bring less people of color.

While getting rid of the football program could possibly be the right decision fiscally, the loss will be felt by many. People may not have ever met, had it not been for the football team. Familiar

faces will change into strangers faces. What once brought a sense of camaraderie to this campus will now no longer exist.

HSU hopes that contributors and boosters will continue to support HSU athletics but the $200,000 or more increase in contributions last year was for football. Loss of football program will have a long-term a ripple effect.

Where and what gets hit the hardest remains to be seen.

Left-handed struggles in a right-handed world

by Sebastian Lindner On the first day of class here at Humboldt State University, two individuals walked into my class.

“There are no left-handed desks,” one of the students said.

From the moment they step foot into the classroom they already faced a challenge other than months of constant stress and anxiety.

As I looked around, I noticed that out of the twenty or so students in the class there were only two students that where left handed. We live in a predominant world where right handedness is the norm. For right handed students, sitting down and writing is as easy as counting to three, yet for left handed students, writing in a right-handed desk is just the beginning to the struggles of being left handed.

In a world that deems to be predominant right handed, left handedness can be considered almost taboo. For some right-handed people, their left hand is as useful as trying to cut a brick with a butter knife, the thought of it is just inconceivable. Whereas left-handed people are forced to adapt and work in a right-handed world. Senior Michelle Galindo, a dominant left-handed psychology major explained when she started to notice challenges being left handed to me.

“Since I was small, around that time of being in kindergarten. I can remember being challenged as a left-handed person whenever I would use the scissors. Whenever I would try to

cut with my left hand, it would not be as easy as it would be if a right-handed kid where to do it.” Galindo said.

Terilynn Diggs, a senior and kinesiology major, also dominant with her left-handed said her memories started around kindergarten also.

“It started just before kindergarten. My father is left handed, and whenever I would use a pencil or a marker with my right hand, he would switch it over to my left.” Diggs said.

Labor and delivery and surgical technician at Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center San Pedro in Los Angeles, Tracy Strivers, is also ambidextrous. A w Ambidexterity is the ability to be able to use the right and left hands with ease. She said that she too learned at the age of preschool that she was different than all the other kids.

“My best friend and I at the time would always eat together during lunch. We started to notice that we did not eat like all the other kids, and from the point on we thought we were different,” Strivers said.

Knowing what a left-handed person goes through, is not conceivable unless trying to go a whole day with out using your right hand. From middle school to high school Galindo had to constantly deal with the smudging of lead from writing. Diggs still to this day has challenges in the kitchen when trying to prepare a meal or use a can opener.

Strivers, being a surgical technologist must constantly battle the fact that she can use both of her hands, but it can lead

to confusion in her work space.

“Being in the operating room is very stressful when you have a mother screaming and giving birth to a baby. It can become easily confusing when I’m using both my hands to retract the uterus, then go back to using one hand when handling instruments,” Strivers said.

Why continue to face the constant challenges of being a left-handed individual? Why not be just like everyone else and use your right hand? To these individuals using their left hand is “cool,” and “special,” and in a way makes them different than many of the people

around them.

“I wish sometimes I was right handed. I feel right handed people have better hand writing,” Diggs said.

According to Galindo she had a friend who started to write as a lefty but was converted to write with his right by his mother.

Galindo’s friend was bashed by his mother for having to use his left hand and as a scare tactic was told that left handed people are touched by the devil.

I can not speak on the behalf of Galindo’s friend being touched by the devil, yet there remains to be an extended list of influential left-handed people

ranging from: Barrack Obama, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Michelangelo, Larry Bird, Helen Keller, Queen Victoria of England, and Julius Caesar. All of which are left-handed people who have or went on to have lustrous life impacting lives.

For right handed people, the challenges that left-handed people must face might not ever fully be understood by someone that is right handed. Maybe a day will come when the world becomes predominant left, and right-handed people will finally know the struggle.

to be met, three council members were unable to vote the same way.

This was the sixth meeting to address the controversial AMCAL housing project known as The Village. HSU has now supported the proposed 240 unit four 4 story building that will house 800 beds which has also raised concern with residents.

Retired HSU Biology professor, Milt Boyd, who was with the department for 38 years said he was there to observe the actions of the city with much concern regarding the project.

“I am a strong advocate for students and actions that will be beneficial to students, but this certain project is not going to end up benefiting students,” Boyd said. “Its going to be a problem for them.”

The majority of those who attended agree with Boyd.

Many HSU faculty and retirees brought up problems dealing with traffic safety, noise pollution in the surrounding

neighborhoods, affordability and lack of family units, which an administrator for HSU said they were unwilling to accommodate since their isn’t a need for it.

Out of 14 people to publicly speak, 10 denied moving

forward with the project. Erik Jules, one of the directors of Arcata Citizens for Responsible Housing and HSU biology professor was one of those to declare no.

“The problem that HSU has is retention, people come here

and then leave. If we build more housing will it solve that problem?” Jules said. “Ill tell you what our problem is, we have a budget problem…We’ve lost teaching powers, we don’t have enough classes for students.” Jules said that building

houses will not solve HSU’s budget problem.

Jane Woodward, a member of ACRH, had main concerns with safety regarding students and of those that live on the hill.

“I worry about the seniors that live on the hill. With 600 students crossing there it’s dangerous,” Woodward said.

“They don’t have appropriate walkways to get students to HSU safely, there’s only one way in and one way out.”

It seemed as though all of the council members were disappointed with the outcome of the meeting, as well most who attended. This disappointment seemed to resonate in the final comments by Arcata Mayor Sofia Pereira.

“I’m disappointed in the outcome,” Pereira said. “Students are struggling to find housing in this community and this was not a perfect project by any means but it met a lot of needs that we have in our community. So I am disappointed we are unable to move forward on it.”

Latinx Center prepares for Mes De La Culture LCAE ready to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month

Photo by Tony Willan Members from the Latinx Center for Academic Excellence to spread awareness of Mes De La Cultura Aug. 29 in front of the Depot.

by Tony Wallin During a fogless sunny afternoon, music could be heard from the top of the hill at Founder’s Hall. Below, in the UC quad, large speakers were outputting music from Latin artists from all over South America, including Mexico, Brazil and Chile.

The Latinx Center for Academic Excellence had a table set up in front of the Depot on Aug. 31 for Mes De La Cultura, month of the culture, spreading awareness of Hispanic Heritage month in September.

Junior Mayra Sanchez, a critical race and gender studies major, has been working with the LCAE for a year. She said this event was created to spread word for more upcoming events. LCAE will kick of Hispanic Heritage month on Sept. 6 with live music and the Los Giles food truck.

The club said they are trying to host different events to become more visible in the community.

be a Hispanic-serving institute here on campus and if they are really serving that purpose,” Sanchez said.

Behind a table full of bags of Mexican candy with tajin and chips with the option of cheese, was a long white poster that asked the question “What does your identity mean to you? (and how do you identify?).”

A box of markers sat at the table and everyone was invited to write down what these questions meant to them. A couple dozen answers were scattered across the poster sheet, some read: “values and connection,” and “coming together and sharing our cultures with one another.”

They all shared community support and heritage pride.

“They do a lot of cultural events and they really inspire the Hispanic community to stand up for themselves, to be active, to represent your culture and be proud of who you are.”

Sophomore Alexandra Gonzalez said as to why she wanted to become a part of LCAE. Gonzalez, a business major, started working at the center this year. She said the center

inspires asking the question ‘what is my identity’ on a daily basis and to be who you want to be.

“It’s a good resource,” she said. “Its just there and helps people be the best self of themselves and be the identity they want to be.”

Justin Carnero, a business masters student, said these events help bridge the gap between community building and academic excellence and that’s why he got involved.

“A lot of students are coming from out of the area and so don’t have an essence of community,” Camero said. “A lot of students come here and then leave because they don’t have that sense of community.”

Junior Caia Santana, an Art Studio major, hosted and DJ’d the event with phone.

Santana has been involved with LCAE since last year but started officially working for them since the beginning of the month. Santana’s “I like helping people,” Santana said. “I like advocating for the ethnic community or just POC in general.”

Former running back’s Jack’s break even pro career on hiatus

by Alex Gonzalez

Alumnus’ future in NFL uncertain after being released or waived from 49ers f inalized roster

by Ju’Wan Murphy

The San Francisco 49ers announced their signing of Humboldt State University’s star running back Ja’Quan Gardner to a three year deal on Aug. 28. However, Gardner did not make the finalized 53-man roster.

Gardner was invited to the 49ers rookie minicamp in May earlier this year but did not receive another invitation to offseason training.

Gardner suited in No. 38 on August 30 in the 49ers last preseason game vs the Los Angeles Chargers.

“I’m probably going to be on some special teams then get some carries 4th quarter,” Gardner said. “It’s going to be straight, I’m going to be more scared running out of the tunnel onto the field.”

Which he was, but that was the only chance he got to see the field.

“He did a good job in our rookie tryout camp,” Kyle Shanahan Head Coach of 49ers said in the San

Francisco Bee, “he was a guy who picked the stuff up in the weekend he was here.

We liked him as a person. We always liked his college tape, and he ran well while he was here. We’re down some guys and we wanted to make sure we got another guy in here and he was a guy that we had on our shortlist since he was here in the tryout camp.”

Gardner was the 2015 Harlon Hill runner up for college football. He finished his Lumberjacks career with 5,495 rushing yards and 72 touchdowns in just 42 career games. He holds all the statistical rushing records at HSU. Gardner’s girlfriend Emma Gutierrez was one of the first to hear the news.

“I was crying. I was very proud of him,” said Gutierrez.

“It was a lot of different emotions at once.”

Gutierrez still attends HSU while Gardner is back at home training but the two still seem to work it out when asked about it.

“It’s hard but it is not as hard as I thought it would be,” said Gutierrez. “Distance is the hardest but we have really good communication.”

In his first practice Gardner did not get to participate in many team drills. He participated in a couple of individual drills with the running backs and observed for most of practice.

Gardner was really close with his teammates and got along with everybody and was as humble as they come. You wouldn’t even know he had all these accomplishments, someone would have to tell you. Former teammate Jamere Austin played on the team last season he was just as excited for Gardner as anybody else.

“I was really proud of him, I thought about a lot of the talks me and my boy had and dreams came true, couldn’t be nothing but happy,” said Austin.

The men’s soccer team started off the season in high gear with a 2-0 win against the Holy Names University Hawks on Aug. 31.

The following day, they fell 2-1 against the Dominican University of California Penguins, leaving their record to sit at 1-1.

Thursday’s game belonged to one player in particular.

Jacks junior forward Isaiah Dario was the heart of the offense, as he netted both of the Jacks’ goals. He was buzzing around the field before receiving a cross from sophomore forward Marco Silveira that found the back of the net at 53:48. Less than two minutes later he knocked in a header from a pass by senior midfielder Matt Steinmetz that brought the Jacks up by two.

“I can say all of our hard work paid off, especially for our first home game,” Dario said. “I had a team that was definitely behind me and definitely believed in me, and I scored two goals because of it.”

The Jacks were in the driver’s seat for the remainder of the game as they outshot the Hawks 18-13, with 10 of those on goal.

Saturday’s game wasn’t as stellar for the Jacks as they fell to Dominican’s Penguins

2-1. Dario was held scoreless following his two goal game but was constantly attacking with five of the Jacks’ 21 shots.

Senior forward Francisco Calderon scored the Jacks’ one goal and added six shots total.

“We created some good chances and had opportunities to tie up the game, but their keeper made some big saves towards the end to finish off the game,” Jacks head coach Fred Jungemann said.

Calderon put the Jacks up by one at the 15:26 mark on a broken play from Penguins goalie Ruben Raygoza. As he attempted a takeaway, Calderon snuck a short pass to get the one goal for the Jacks.

Dominican tied up the game on a cross from the left to junior forward Luke Raley that beat Jacks senior goalie Bryan Hernandez at 25:51.

Dominican took the lead at 47:24 to start the second half as Penguins junior defender Matt Albert hustled to get his own crossbar deflection, making his second shot.

“This game is a wake-up call,” Hernandez said. “In terms of refining the way, we just simply have to train and play like the good team that we are.”

Humboldt State will host Concordia University Sept. 7 on College Creek Field at 1 p.m.

line is California is a fire prone state.

“California needs fire like it needs water and sunlight,” Kane said.

Lifelong Hoopa resident Matthew Sylvia said growing up in the area fires weren’t as severe as they are now. He said regular prescribed burning used to be a tribal practice and spoke of some of the benefits they see from routine low intensity fires such as the thinning of the forest from brush and the removal of pests such as ticks and acorn infesting weevils.

“We also burned for basket weaving materials, and mushrooms,” Sylvia said.

Sylvia said that after a fire, edible mushrooms and grasses used to make baskets would spring up from the ashes.

Kane said the integrated pest management and ecological benefits after a prescribed fire that Sylvia described is called traditional ecological knowledge.

Sylvia, a business major, said being so close to Redding, Calif. and coming off the heels of the Carr fire there was an initial panic in the community from the fire.

“People were worried about it sweeping up the whole valley,” Sylvia said.

Kane said that increasing the amount of prescribed fire treatments isn’t a magic solution but it is a step in the right direction.
