Sara Bareilles and the city of Eureka gave a precious, priceless gift to our com munity (“Unbelievable,” Oct. 20).

Behind-the scenes and literal nuts, bolts, wiring, security, ticketing, set-up and clean-up is beyond imagination.

What is truly immeasurable, is how Sara’s positive-energy, music and super

lative talent reached the core of people, families and community. It is far-reaching and will seep into business, schools, gov ernment and our daily lives. We might not be able to see or measure the benefit, but it will be there rippling out for a very long time. Listen for her voice.

Editor:

Julie Fulkerson, Eureka

I was one of the fortunate locals to attend the wildly successful Sara Bareilles

concert on Oct. 16. What a fun, fami ly-friendly event under the warm sunny skies on our beautiful bay. Her music is inspirational and positive, and the crowd responded in kind. It was so much fun to be part of an event that celebrates life, love and compassion right in our home town. As a grandfather of young girls and women, I could see the impact on crowds of the girls and women in our community. Seeing a local girl achieve the success and

ambition she has will give strength and confidence to this next generation and we all benefit from that.

Congratulations and thanks to the Eureka City Council and staff that pulled off one of the most memorable events ever held on the beautiful Halvorsen Park on Waterfront Drive. The logistics and preparation for an event of this size is no small undertaking and the outcome was an enormous success. An especially big shout-out goes to Mayor Susan Seaman for “making a call” and getting this won derful project going. We can only hope that this is the first of such concerts that will build on the reputation of Eureka as a place that cherishes peace, art and culture.

‘A Major Concern’

Editor:

Humboldt’s pristine redwood groves, flowing rivers, and impressive coastline are major factors contributing to why we choose to live here.

As you may know, on Dec. 6 two major offshore tracts will be offered for lease, extending from north of Trinidad to south of Eureka (“Interior to Open Offshore Wind Comment Period Next Week,” posted May 26). Wind generators will be positioned throughout these ocean tracts. A major concern is how these wind generators will degrade our pristine and valued coastline. Even 21 miles offshore, these numerous, massive wind generators will always be visible from our shoreline. As Humboldt Coun ty Supervisor and Commissioner Mike Wilson states, “These structures will be seen from virtually everywhere.” We will never again be able to appreciate our magnificent ocean view without seeing these generators. And yet, there has been little opportunity for community input into this decision.

I understand the need for clean ener gy sources and support the need to de velop various energy sources. But I will be brokenhearted to stand at Trinidad and ask why we allowed such turbines in our once pristine oceans.

Editor:

Vote yes on Measure M in Arcata. Let’s fly the Earth flag at the top of city-owned flagpoles.

Flags are symbols. Flying the Earth flag at the top is logical. The Earth includes

‘Truly Immeasurable’

our nation and our state.

Climate change is real. The needs of the Earth come first. We can only have a healthy nation if we have a healthy Earth.

There is a huge excess of nation alism in the world. By focusing on the Earth as a whole, rather than nation al chest thumping, we can avoid the horrors of war.

Halloween Poem

All Hallows Eve! The sun, Descending into a pyre of branches, becomes a Jack o’Lantern And, bidden, they spring up on the dark roads Steps, and windows across the dimming land. Look! Inferno is in their eyes.

Irony is on their lipless, pillared grins. And see the Dead! Crouching like cats

In the adjacent blackness, Or breaking our hearts, as they Vacillate in the flaming orbits!

They cry unto us, de profundis clamant That there are no saints, no sinners No evil, only sorrow, and they rise, Thicken the moving air Trailing their redolent tapestries through the drifting, dying leaves

To grieve, and then caress those of us yet living Here on our esplanade of rubble.

Some argue that flying the Earth flag above the U.S. flag is illegal. While flag codes do place the U.S. flag on top, there is no history of enforcement. If challenged, we pledge to defend the measure at minimal cost to the city.

Let’s vote our belief in the priority of the Earth.

Put the Earth on top!

Dave Meserve, Arcata Editor:

I’m voting for Meredith Matthews because she is a principled leader who stands up for pedestrian and bicycle safety. This year, Meredith introduced and championed a Complete Streets policy, which ensures that all future decisions regarding Arcata’s streets sup port safe travel for everyone, including people walking, biking and rolling. This will protect people’s lives and encourage more people to use healthy, low-carbon forms of transportation, helping Arcata live up to its climate-friendly ambitions. In getting this policy adopted, Meredith has done more to promote safe, healthy streets in her short time on City Council than many elected officials do in a full career. She deserves another term on council.

Colin Fiske, Arcata Editor:

I’m voting for Meredith Matthews because she understands that Arcata is experiencing a housing affordability crisis and that we need to act to address it. If the city doesn’t build new housing, rents will continue to increase until

only the wealthy can afford to live here. Building more housing close to jobs and services will allow our city to grow without sacrificing environmental values or contributing to ugly suburban sprawl.

Meredith also supports renter protec tions to make sure people can afford to stay here. These policies will make Arcata more affordable and allow it to grow in a smart way.

Matt Simmons, Arcata

Two Seats, Six Candidates

Arcata Council election comes as the city prepares for a time of transition

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

The two successful candidates in the November race for the Arcata City Council will take on their four-year terms during a transformative time for the city, with the Gateway Area Plan winding its way through the review process and Cal Poly Humboldt moving forward with expansion plans, including a major influx of students.

Arcata voters’ choices include incumbents Meredith Matthews and Brett Watson, Arcata Planning Commissioner and previous candidate Kimberley White, astrologist and two-time hopeful Dana Quillman, and ballot newcomers small business owner Raelina Krikston and local American Legion Post 274 commander Je rey Scott Sterling.

The election will also likely serve as a referendum on the yearlong saga involving Watson, who was arrested Monday on suspicion of violating a temporary workplace violence restraining order issued by a Humboldt County Superior Court judge earlier this month at the request of the city.

A hearing on the order, which severely restricts Watson’s access to City Hall and prohibits him contacting or being within 100 yards of four city o cials — with some exceptions made for council meetings — is set for Nov. 4, just four days before the election.

In a Facebook post, Watson said he never meant to violate the order and the arrest “feels like a drastic over reaction and a publicity stunt by the city.”

Watson has also vehemently denied any wrongdoing and resisted calls to step down after an outside investigation released in May found he sexually harassed a city employee and abused his power as a councilmember. He has said he is the subject of harassment by city sta .

Each of the candidates was given the same questionnaire on subjects ranging from their reasons for running and the Gateway Area Plan to homelessness. Sterling did not return

his responses to the Journal or respond to a follow up email.

Appointed in 2017 and elected in 2019, Watson was removed from his second term as mayor by fellow council members who also cast a vote of no confidence in his ability to serve in October of 2021 after the allegations that led to the investigation first surfaced publically. Watson, who describes himself as “big on fiscal responsibility,” said he’s running again because he believes it is “the greatest form of public service” he can provide to his community and it is “one of the most rewarding experiences when you see how the decisions you make can have positive impacts on people’s lives.”

A Redwood Coast Energy Authority administrative specialist, Matthews is seeking her first full term on the council after being appointed in 2021. She cites her work championing the Complete Streets ordinance and building a relationship with the Wiyot Tribe, “the result of which is that we now have a land acknowledgement before our meetings, with more projects with the tribe to come,” as examples of what she’s helped to accomplish during her short tenure. “My work has just gotten started, and I would like to continue to make positive changes,” she says.

White, a program coordinator and community organizer for CUNA (Comunidad Unida del Norte de Arcata/Community United of North Arcata) who’s sought a council seat three previous times, says she’s passionate about “a ordable housing, home ownership opportunities and long-term solutions for the unhoused with dignity and respect.” She says she wants to provide a voice for those who have “who have been left out.”

A small business owner and creative director, Krikston says her experiences trying to find an a ordable place to live in a tight Arcata rental market dominated by a handful of property management companies

prompted her to learn more about housing issues and opened her eyes to the need for renters’ voices on the council. If elected, she says she will push to “pass more stringent rent control laws in order to protect the current renter population now and as we grow into the future.”

Quillman, a COVID conspiracy theorist who has run twice before, says she’s been involved in local politics for nearly two decades, including opposing a proposed housing development in the Arcata Bottoms in the late 1990, serving on a 2002 General Plan Update committee and running for o ce in 2007 as an opponent of fluoride in the city’s drinking water. She also vows to do what she can to “to fight the totalitarianism that has infected our world.”

The following are excerpts from the candidates’ responses, the entirety of which can be found at northcoastjournal.com.

NCJ: What are your views on the proposed Gateway Area Plan?

Krikston: The plan is an “opportunity to shape the future of our city to be able to reflect our community values and serve our population as it grows,” she wrote, noting she would like to see certain key features, including inclusionary zoning, rental protections and incentives for condo development. “By requiring a ordability, we can ensure that our community remains intact as we grow and ensure a diverse population of people in the city,” she said. “Diversity is key to a healthy community.”

Matthews: The GAP provides much needed housing and “infill is the climate-friendly way to go,” the councilmember said. “A dense, walkable area is so much better than sprawl.” She also stated it’s better for the city to develop the plan rather than having the state step in and that “it is possible to have housing for all income levels, while still maintaining the character of Arcata.” On building heights, Matthews noted the council is awaiting the Planning Commission’s recommendations.

Quillman: The plan “needs to be shelved” and “will ruin our city,” turning Arcata into another San Francisco as far as parking, she wrote. “The Gateway project is leading the city to be one that will be demographically out of balance with no a ordable housing for families that will have a yard for growing food or playing in the yard,” she stated, while also questioning why the plan is “coming out to the public at the same time as HSU is becoming a Cal Poly.”

Watson: The city has “failed to significantly engage the public and gather opinions from the entire community,” he wrote. The councilmember said one of the challenges is how the city is going to provide the capacity for the wastewater treatment services that will be needed. He also stated: “Most importantly, the vast majority of feedback I’m constantly receiving from Arcatans via direct communi-

cation, public comments and surveys, is that our community wants to maintain the existing building height limit of four stories.”

White: As a planning commissioner, she wrote that she is currently working on the plan. She stated that there’s no doubt “we are in the midst of a housing crisis” and it “breaks [her] heart to see our community be so divisive.” “If we plan carefully, and include the community in the decision-making process, we can provide the housing needed for Arcata, and still maintain the character that we all love and why we choose to live in Arcata,” White wrote.

Quillman was the only candidate to respond that she has heard about a potential conflict due to property she owns being within 500 feet of the project, the reason why two current council members — Mayor Stacy Atkins-Salzar and Alex Stillman — are required to recuse themselves from discussions and decisions. She said she will also go through the Fair Political Practices Commission’s process to make a determination as to whether she can participate in discussions and votes on the plan, if elected.

NCJ: While a nationwide problem, homelessness is also an acute one in Arcata. What steps can and/or should the council take to address this issue?

Krikston: The Valley West project to “house our houseless neighbors is a good step forward,” she said, adding she believes more measures should be taken to help “before people end up homeless” and “to ensure we have a ordable housing available to our community.” She noted there are “many things that can be done once a person becomes homeless, but not all that many to prevent it from happening in the first place.”

Matthews: “I will begin by saying that I am very proud of what the council has done to tackle this issue recently,” she wrote, noting Project Homekey, the Safe Parking Program and three more years of MIST services, and the Community Ambassador program “were all passed during my term.” She also states, “I believe our next steps should be working with the city of Eureka and the county to provide real solutions for getting people a safe place to live.”

Quillman: State and federal o cials are the cause of homelessness, she said, and “they are not doing anything about it except cause more of it,” so “how can a city council or even county supervisors be expected to solve it? ” If elected, she writes, she will “push strongly” for creating several so-called “Opportunity Villages” where people can live.

Watson: “Our first priority needs to be expanding mental health services for our entire community,” he wrote, saying data shows such services can help reduce homelessness and crime, and while there seems to be agreement among the council members, “we need to take action to expedite moving

this goal forward.” He said he’s also been an advocate of opening up some largely empty public buildings to “provide shelter for those in need” but has met with some pushback.

White: “I became an Arcata Planning Commissioner because of my passion for equitable and a ordable housing for everyone. Housing, like healthcare, is a basic human right,” she wrote, noting she serves on several housing groups and believes “permanent housing is a solution rather than shelters, encampments, tent cities, etc.” She wrote, “We

need to rethink social policy. It is essential we address issues of equity and social justice and how disparity permeates through a ordable housing and the unhoused community.”

Each Murphy’s is unique in its own way. When it comes to working at the Trinidad location, Nelson appreciates the different atmosphere in Trinidad saying, “In addition to locals, summer brings tourists from everywhere, and everyone is really nice.”

Nelson loves making everything look good for customers perusing the aisles at Murphy’s Trinidad and particularly enjoys grocery and produce. He likes the freedom he has to try out new things on the shelves to see what sticks. He really gravitates toward locally made items and believes it’s important to focus on the local vendors, local creators, and local makers.

Overall, Nelson says Murphy’s is a great company to work for and really, really good to their employees. Maybe that’s part of the reason why he’s stuck around for 31 years!

‘Gives You Hope’

Recovering from a serious injury suffered in an Aug. 29 head-on car crash on Fernbridge, Monica Wells Anderson had one gnawing question.

“The only thing she talked about with me,” recalls Janet Coppini, a friend of Wells Anderson’s who spoke to her by phone from the hospital, “was that there was this person who climbed inside her vehicle and helped her. She wanted to find out who it was.”

This person had climbed into Wells An derson’s crumpled car within minutes of the crash, talked to her kindly and calmly, helped stabilize her neck and didn’t leave her side for the close to an hour it took for paramedics and firefighters to get to the scene and extricate her from the vehicle.

And as a retired phlebotomist at Redwood Memorial Hospital, Coppini says Wells Anderson knows full well how much training and practice it takes to react that way in a critical incident.

So when Coppini circled back a short time later to tell Wells Anderson that per son was 16-year-old Levi Dixon, who was on his way home from football practice when hit by the same car that collided with her, she was stunned.

“She was just shocked to learn his age,” Coppini says. “She said, ‘That wasn’t a boy, that was a man helping me.’”

To hear Ferndale Police Chief Ron Sligh tell it, first responders were similarly shocked. When they arrived, Sligh says

Dixon was already in the backseat, stabiliz ing Wells Anderson’s neck.

“That’s kind of an advanced thing,” Sligh says, adding that initially personnel on scene assumed Dixon must be an off-duty or something and “just kind of left Levi there” as they worked to free Wells An derson from the vehicle.

“They were assuming he was a profes sional,” Sligh says. “I’ve been doing this for 30-something years, and you show up on a scene and there’s adults just standing there watching people bleed. To see a young man like that just do it and do it so well, people assumed he was trained.”

Dixon says he was — in a combined education and health class.

Reached by The Enterprise after he was honored by Fortuna Volunteer Fire De partment and Fortuna Police Department officials at a school assembly, Dixon — the son of Brennan and Sara Dixon — didn’t seem moved by the fuss.

“I just saw somebody who needed help and I’d taken a class about stuff like that, so I thought I’d help,” he says. “I don’t know, ya know? I didn’t think it was that important. I guess other people thought different.”

Dixon says he was on his way home from football practice, when, approaching Fernbridge, he saw a tractor in front of him, so he slowed down and turned his hazard lights on. Then, he says, he heard screeching behind him, felt impact and then saw the car that rear-ended him veer into the other lane, where it collided

head-on with Wells Anderson.

He says he immediately got out of his car and went to check on the other driver. Realizing Wells Anderson was badly injured — her injuries were bad enough that she’s still recovering in an out-of-area facility — Dixon says he got in her car and leaned on what he’d been taught. He introduced himself, asked her name, told her she’d be fine and explained why he was stabilizing her neck.

“She was pretty calm,” he says. “She was just in a lot of pain.”

Coppini says Dixon had a lot to do with Wells Anderson being calm, noting he talk ed to her, even as firefighters used metal saws to free her from the car.

“That’s pretty intense, and he stayed with her and gave her comfort, and she just said that he — even though she knew she was seriously injured — he reassured her and made her feel like she was going to be OK,” Coppini says.

Sligh says it’s clear Dixon has a natural capacity for the work.

“It’s the stuff we try to train first re sponders to do. Apparently, he was paying attention in health class,” Sligh says. “Gives you hope for the future, right?”

Standing behind a podium in the Van Duzer Theatre, clad in a brown suit with a green and gold striped tie, President Tom Jackson Jr. was in the midst of delivering the first fall welcome address of the newly rebranded Cal Poly Humboldt’s young history. While the event opened with a multi-cultural performance by the university’s dance program that culminated in a boisterous number to Kool and the Gang’s “Celebrate!” that drew a standing ovation from those in attendance, Jackson’s remarks were staid and businesslike.

He talked about the new academic programs and infrastructure projects that will accompany the campus’ new-found status as the state’s third polytechnic university. He talked about attendance numbers and community engagement e orts, about student housing concerns, a capital campaign and the mission of providing “positive, meaningful educational experiences,” each talking point accompanied by a Power Point slide. He then turned his attention to “campus culture” and a bullet point titled “civility,” and appeared to veer o script.

“Title IX — it’s on here under civility, hiding under civility,” Jackson said in reference to the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education that outlines a university’s responsibilities to keep students and sta safe from sexual harass-

ment and sexualized violence, though there was no Power Point slide to accompany the subject. “Title IX is a big topic for us. It’s always been a big topic for us. We’re a campus filled with secrets.”

Jackson then said some things that alarmed advocates for survivors of sexual violence.

“Remember, Title IX was designed to be private, confidential, to solve a problem between individuals — not meant to be public and scrutinized in the national media. That is not what it was designed for,” he said. “Imagine the ramification if you had a complaint made against you and it was played out in the national media …. It’s troublesome, particularly when you were seeking relief on a private, confidential matter. You didn’t want the rest of us to know it. Otherwise, you’d just publicize it. You see the di erence?

You don’t need Title IX to tell the world that there’s a conflict. Title IX is designed to solve it behind the doors in a meaningful, amicable way.”

Laura Dunn, founding partner of the LL Dunn Law Firm in Washington, D.C., and a nationally renowned expert on Title IX, says Jackson’s comments were both “completely erroneous” and “very disturbing,” explaining the landmark law was aimed to end institutional discrimination, not keep allegations private, noting that the Clery Act specifically

prohibits schools from “gagging survivors.”

On Jackson’s own campus, Sophie E a, a graduate student in counseling psychology, who has worked with Check It, the university’s student-led program that aims to create “a more consent-centered culture” but who spoke to the Journal in their capacity as a student, says they immediately worried Jackson’s comments would have a negative impact.

“People in power should be protecting students, especially survivors of sexual assault,” they say. “Unfortunately it was sounding like the opposite to me — like President Jackson was more concerned with protecting perpetrators on campus.”

Almost 300 miles away and a month or so later, Jadence Clifton stumbled across Jackson’s comments on Twitter while sitting in her dorm room at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, weeks after she says she decided to leave Cal Poly Humboldt, feeling the university hadn’t responded appropriately to her report that she’d been sexually battered during a women’s basketball practice on campus.

“It was crazy,” Clifton says. “It felt like he was speaking to me.”

Over the phone, the Journal asks Clifton if Jackson’s comments motivated her to share her story publicly. Partly, she says. As a competitor, a local product who starred for

four years at Del Norte High School before coming to Cal Poly Humboldt, Clifton says it also bothers her that people think she just quit. But it’s bigger than either of those things, she says.

“I mean, I stayed a whole year being silent,” she says. “I played the season. I kept it quiet. And when I did come out to Title IX and the university police, nothing happened. So, of course I want to be heard. I don’t want this to happen to any other girl.”

Clifton’s arrival at Cal Poly Humboldt was the stu of headlines and, for her, dreams.

A four-year standout playing for her father at Del Norte High School, Clifton’s high school career was simply exceptional. She was her league’s co-MVP as a junior, and likely would have won it again as a senior if the league had given out the honor at the end of the COVID-shortened season.

“No one player in the [Humboldt-Del Norte League] had a more dominating season in any sport,” local sports journalist Ray Hamill wrote of Clifton after her senior campaign, which saw her become Del Norte High School’s all-time leading scorer and one of 700 high school girls basketball players nominated for the McDonald’s All-American team.

Clifton had signed a letter of intent to

play college basketball at Oregon Institute of Technology in 2020 but quickly changed course when Cal Poly Humboldt (then still Humboldt State University) Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson came calling the following year with a scholarship offer. In a press release announcing Clifton’s signing, Bento-Jackson praised her as a “talented gym rat” and a “special young lady on and off the court” whom the “Humboldt community will fall in love with.”

“For Jadence to have participated in Hum boldt State basketball camps as a youngster and now to be receiving a basketball schol arship to play for our women’s basketball program is a great story,” Bento-Jackson said in the release, which touted Clifton’s season averages of 22.4 points, 11.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 8.5 steals per game, along with her being twice named to Del Norte High School’s honor roll.

Everything felt right, Clifton says.

“I had dreamed of going there,” she says, adding that she’d envisioned a college career playing in Lumberjack Arena in front of friends and family.

But by the time that dream became a reality, Clifton says it felt more like a waking nightmare.

Five days before the Lumberjacks opened their season with an exhibition game against Southern Oregon University, Clifton says she was at practice, working her way back from a knee sprain that had kept her off the court for a few weeks. The team had been scrimmaging five-on-five when Ben to-Jackson gave her players a few minutes to take a water break.

That’s when, Clifton says, Bento-Jackson’s husband, Al Jackson, called her name and pulled her aside. Clifton says Al Jackson told her her to keep her off arm rigid when she dribbled by a defender — rather than letting it go limp at her side — to maintain space. Then, she says, Al Jackson demonstrated what he meant, grabbing her hand and hold ing her arm out to the side. But when he did this, Clifton says, he placed her hand directly on his genitals.

“I pulled my hand right away and looked at him in the eye, and he just turned and walked away in the opposite direction super quickly,” Clifton says. “I was just in shock, like, ‘Did that really happen?’”

In an email responding to Journal ques tions, Bento-Jackson says her husband “has denied what has been alleged,” both in a police interview and to Title IX investigators. The Journal asked Al Jackson’s attorney about the allegation and he says his client “categorically denies” it.

Clifton says she tried alternately to block the moment out and to convince herself it was an accident, but neither worked. She says she remains convinced it was an inten

tional act and, in the months that followed, she says it came to haunt her.

“That whole year, I just couldn’t stop thinking about it,” she says. “Just seeing my coach, it was in the back of my head. Always.”

While Clifton says Al Jackson had attend ed several practices before that, she didn’t see him at another after. (Bento-Jackson says her husband only attended two practices, both in October, to give their son a ride home, and “does not work with my players in any capacity whatsoever.”) Clifton says she’s only seen the man twice since — once at the exhibition opener five days later at Lumberjack Arena, and again at an away game against Chico State University in December.

“It didn’t seem like a coincidence that he just never came around after that; I think that he realized he messed up, that he’d done this to the wrong person,” Clifton says of Al Jackson’s subsequent absence from the team, adding she thinks he hoped it would just go away.

But Clifton says it didn’t go away for her but became ever-present — something she thought of when looking at Bento-Jackson or her and Al Jackson’s son, who frequently attended practices and sat on the team bench during home games. She grew distracted in class and didn’t want to eat. Perhaps more troubling, Clifton says she’d grow anxious before practice and games.

“That’s the thing — basketball is the only thing I do,” she says. “My dad’s a coach. I grew up in it. It’s always been there my whole life. Basketball is everything.”

But she says all that had changed in an in stant during that water break. On the court, Clifton’s season seemingly had some bright spots. She took over one of the team’s starting guard positions in January, put up 24 points to help the Lumberjacks snap a fivegame losing streak against rival Chico State University and notched a near triple-double in a dominant win over Stanislaus State University a couple days later.

But she says none of it brought her much joy. She says she began withdrawing from teammates, holding this secret she didn’t feel she could tell them, and would leave team dinners partway through. She started driving home to Del Norte County every weekend. One day, she told her dad she didn’t want to play anymore, that she felt “done with basketball.”

When the Lumberjacks’ season

came to a close, Clifton says she decided to come forward. She was due to have an exit interview with Bento-Jackson the following week and says she couldn’t bear the thought of sitting across from her, so she decided to talk to her coach’s boss, Athletic Director Cooper Jones. Clifton says she’d met Jones

Jadence Clifton said accepting a basketball scholarship to play at Cal Poly Humboldt (above) was a dream come true, as she’d attended camps in Lumberjack Arena as a kid growing up in Del Norte County (left) and wanted to play somewhere close to her family.

before — noting he sent her a couple of nice emails checking in on her recovery from the knee injury — but didn’t know him well. She says she was scared, both of finally verbalizing something secret that had dominated her life for months and of the possibility of running into Bento-Jackson, whose o ce is near Jones’. After trying unsuccessfully to drop in to see Jones on April 29, Clifton says she waited outside the arena until she saw Jones return and then approached him.

“I remember it pretty vividly,” she says, adding that she sat down across from Jones in his o ce.

“I just started out — I started out,” she says, her voice trailing o over the phone. “I just told him that I had something to tell him and then got super emotional. I had written down what I wanted to say, so I just handed my notebook over to him and had him read it.”

She says she was a knot of nerves and emotion as she watched Jones read her account, then sit silently for what felt like minutes.

“He seemed to be in complete shock,” Clifton says. “He told me how sorry he was that that had happened, that he hadn’t been there to protect me in that situation. He told me he has daughters and couldn’t even imagine the pain I was feeling, how emotional I was feeling, what I was going through. … It felt so good to get it out but also opened up so much more. I was scared to walk out of that o ce, honestly.”

Jones declined to comment for this story, but Clifton says he told her there would be support he could get her, that he would help any way he could and “connect [her] with the right people.” Clifton says she told him she was leaving campus and heading home, and that Jones gave her his phone number. She says she felt like Jones “had [her] back.”

Driving up U.S. Highway 101, Clifton says she felt a weight start to lift.

“The drive home after I talked to Cooper, I felt free, honestly,” she says.

When Clifton got home, she says she told her parents, describing the conversation as “really tough.” She says they were shocked and frustrated, upset she didn’t tell them sooner, but supportive. And they said it made sense, her dad saying he’d been confused to hear her say she wanted to quit the sport they’d always loved together. Clifton says her mom later did some searching online and found some newspaper articles from 2005 detailing how Bento-Jackson faced allegations of being verbally abusive with her players while coaching at Santa Clara University, while multiple players accused Al Jackson of making inappropriate and sexually suggestive comments to them. Both Bento-Jackson and Al Jackson denied the allegations, and the university later gave Bento-Jackson a two-year contract extension. (Asked about the past allegations for the story Al Jackson’s attorney said they were “baseless.”)

On May 1, a couple days after her initial meeting with Jones, Clifton says she and her parents met the athletic director at an Arcata restaurant and spoke further.

“We just wanted to know what to do,” Clifton says. “He just gave us the Title IX phone number and who to contact. He was super supportive. It made me feel like I would be able to return to play basketball without worries of this happening again, and that he was going to be totally supportive.”

Clifton says Jones told her Bento-Jackson had been instructed not to contact her or her family as the process played out.

After the meeting, Clifton says she and her mom went to her dorm room to pack up her stu .

Jadence Clifton started all four of her years playing for the Del Norte High School Warriors, winning her league’s co-MVP as a junior and having what a local sports journalist called the most dominant season of any Humboldt-Del Norte League athlete in any sport during her senior year. Submitted

On May 3, Bento-Jackson sent a message to the team’s group chat, which included Clifton and all her teammates.

“Good morning everyone — I want to let you know that Jadence is okay and she is home with her family,” Bento-Jackson wrote. “She is safe, but has stepped away from school and the team at present so she can take care of herself. Let’s all respect this at that moment and give Jadence her space. Always remember, we are a family and what happens within our family stays within our family only. There is no need to discuss the situation with anyone. If anyone in [the] weight room asks where she is, just say she had another obligation. Please respect this!”

She closed the message with a green heart emoji.

Bento-Jackson tells the Journal she sent the message after Jones had informed her Clifton was safe, saying she and the team had grown worried when she missed team activities and wasn’t responding to texts.

“To be absolutely clear, when I sent that team text out on May 3, I knew absolutely nothing about the allegation against Al,” she says, adding that she would learn of the allegation against her husband later that day.

On May 5, Clifton says she talked to the University Police Department to make a report, which spawned a criminal investigation.

On May 16, Clifton filed a formal complaint with the university’s Title IX o ce, o cially starting the process. The following day, the university acknowledged receipt and advised her the next step, if she chose to take it, would be to set up an intake appointment to see if the complaint qualified for an investigation.

Clifton says she gave it some time but the appointment was ultimately scheduled for July 15, when she and her mom again met with Jones — this time over Zoom — and Cal Poly Humboldt Title IX Investigator and Clery Director Nicki Viso. Clifton says she was told that Viso was there to take the

report and see if the situation qualified for a Title IX investigation. She says he was asked if the university could make any accommodations that would make Clifton comfortable playing for Bento-Jackson again and Clifton said no. Then, Clifton says, Jones told her the university planned to keep Bento-Jackson as its coach.

“He said he supported me whether I played or not, that I would be on a scholarship from the women’s basketball program, that whether I played basketball or not, my school and housing would be paid for,” Clifton says.

It’s unclear exactly when the university decided to bring back Bento-Jackson as coach, but it appears to have been around the time Clifton says she initially came forward to Jones. Bento-Jackson’s contract for the 2021-2022 season ended April 30, and the university sent the coach a letter May 12 reappointing her to the position, e ective May 1, for another year at a salary of $111,312.

In the days and weeks after the July 15 meeting with Jones and Viso, Clifton says she spoke to investigators with the university’s Title IX team to give an o cial statement.

Clifton says she spoke to her teammates in May, requesting a meeting with them in one of their apartments when she returned to Arcata to turn in her dorm key.

Clifton says after she made her initial report to Jones, she’d turned o her phone for a couple of days, missed the team’s endof-year banquet and skipped a scheduled meeting with some teammates and a recruit. She says her teammates showed up to her requested meeting but the energy felt o .

“They seemed mad at me,” she says. “I sat them all down, and I could feel that energy, and I just told them what happened. It was really emotional for everyone. I remember I started crying, then everyone started crying. I told them how much they all meant to me, how each of them helped me through the year, even if they didn’t know it.”

One teammate, Clifton says, said it made sense, noting that Clifton had withdrawn from the team, going home every weekend, skipping team dinners and bonding sessions or leaving them early.

“You were there and then you weren’t there,” Clifton recalls the teammate saying, adding that another brought up what she felt was a disconnect between the situation and Bento-Jackson’s repeatedly preaching

the concept of accountability, saying, “How can you hold us accountable for all these things when you can’t even keep us safe from your own husband?”

Clifton says telling her teammates was hard, as she knew nothing was going to be the same with them after that.

“It was just a lot of emotion,” she says. “It was rough.”

As the Journal went to press Oct. 25, it had been nearly seven months since Clifton’s initial report to Jones, initiat ing the Title IX process. She says she gets no tifications occasionally that the investigation remains ongoing, that because her case is “so unique” it’s taking longer. But she says she’s kind of “lost hope” it will result in much.

Dunn, the lawyer who founded a firm specializing in Title IX cases, says it’s unfor tunately not unusual these days for Title IX investigations to stretch months, noting that while the law states investigations must be “prompt,” the Trump administration loosened previous guidelines defining that as within 60 days.

“Schools have taken significant advan tage,” Dunn says. “There’s no reason the investigation shouldn’t be done, bluntly, very soon.”

Because Clifton’s report came toward the end of the spring semester, Dunn says best practices would have been for the university to wrap up the Title IX process over the summer to spare her having to enter a new school year with it unresolved. As it was, Clifton says she planned on returning to Humboldt and just not playing basketball but, as the school year drew closer, she came to feel that was untenable.

Dunn says Title IX is designed to make universities afford survivors of sexual harass ment and violence the same opportunities they had previously, in part through what are called “supportive measures,” which can be anything from counseling services to to being moved to another residence hall. When it comes to Clifton’s case, Dunn says she’s unsure if any supportive measures could have made her comfortable continuing to play for a team coached by Bento-Jackson, but she says they should have been discussed.

A problem is the law only requires schools to offer supportive measures.

“They’ll say, ‘If you need supportive measures, let me know,’” Dunn says. “But the average person will have no idea what that means. No idea. And we’re talking about people already in trauma. They’re not sitting around pondering what supportive measures means. Ideally, they’d say, ‘We can figure out a way for you to remain a student athlete. What do you need? What are you concerned about?’ Those are hard things to get out. How do you get the school to actually care about the survivor and not just

go through the checklist?”

Cal Poly Humboldt spokesperson Grant Scott-Goforth said he couldn’t comment specifically on any ongoing investigations to protect them and due to privacy issues. But he said the university does have a Campus Advocate Team available around the clock to provide support through every stage of the Title IX process, noting that the team can also request supportive measures on behalf of the individual.

Another aspect of Title IX is that it’s designed to keep others protected from any ongoing threats on campus. The Journal asked Scott-Goforth if Al Jackson continues to have access to the women’s basketball team, its practices and its players.

“Generally speaking,” Scott-Goforth says, “in Title IX cases and other situations, the university intervenes as necessary when there is a risk to the health and safety of members of the campus community. This can result in variety of things, including indi viduals being directed to stay off campus.”

Cal Poly Humboldt protocol dictates that athletic teams’ practices are closed to the public, Scott-Goforth says, but they may be attended by athletics staff, “as well as family members.” Scott-Goforth declined to comment on whether the university is aware of any other allegations of inappro priate conduct against Al Jackson during Bento-Jackson’s tenure in Humboldt, saying the “university doesn’t comment on ongoing investigations.”

Asked the same questions, Bento-Jack son says there have not been “any other allegations against Al Jackson.” She says, “in general, Al does not and never has attended practices,” and does not participate in team functions.

For her part, Clifton says she feels like she’s been in limbo for months now, caught between a desire to move on and wanting to see justice served in her case.

“It’s super frustrating,” she says. “I’m just tired.”

When President Jackson discussed Title IX during his fall welcome address, some assumed it was a reference to a USA Today investigative report published in April on John Lee, a former dean who was fired from his administrative role after a campus investigation found he’d groped two colleagues but was allowed to return to a tenured teaching position with an annual salary of $154,000 under a “retreat” clause in his contract. Lee now works among some of the same faculty as the women he was found to have harassed.

Lee declined to comment when ap proached by USA Today, but many others involved in the case did, with one of the women Lee was found to have harassed saying, “Retreat rights is not designed to be

a Get Out of Jail Free card, but that’s exactly how it’s being used.”

The women involved in Lee’s case told USA Today they feel unsafe on campus but have been told by everyone from CSU attor neys to Jackson that nothing can be done at this point.

Whether the months-old story was indeed what spurred Jackson to discuss Title IX, many found it to odd the presi dent would address the issue at an event ostensibly designed to welcome faculty and students to a new school year. But many also found the content of Jackson’s remarks more troubling than their context.

“We certainly have individuals that do things they shouldn’t, there’s no question about that,” Jackson said. “But I’m saying it also that, as we scrutinize each other, let’s recognize that today we may be scrutinizing someone but tomorrow that someone may be us. And the [Title IX] process is designed to be behind the door so that we can re solve it for the individuals that are involved, not to celebrate it or promote it or use it for personal gain later on. … I hate being in the news because we have so many positive things happening on our campus. And each time we take a nip at our university, it is read by the very students and parents we want to come to this university. So we’re shooting ourselves in the foot.”

Effa, the graduate student who worked with the campus organization promoting consent culture, says the first thing that

caught their attention in Jackson’s remarks was his reference to the campus having se crets, saying his phrasing made it sound like the university was actively trying to sweep allegations under the rug.

“That’s obviously problematic for a lot of reasons,” they say. “Then, it sounded like he was sympathizing with perpetrators, not saying anything about the survivor’s experi ence, not sympathizing with them. … Imagine being in that room and hearing that message from the president of Cal Poly Humboldt and being a survivor.”

Survivors of sexualized violence can feel powerless, Effa says, “like it was just stripped away from them,” so they should be empowered to tell their stories, or not, as they choose. But no one, they say, should be pushing them to either speak out or remain quite, least of all the president of a university.

“When someone like President Jackson dissuades or discourages survivors from speaking out, that can make perpetrators feel more comfortable causing harm and therefore make rape culture even more prevalent on our campus,” Effa says.

Dunn, the Title IX expert, says Jackson’s remarks only addressing the point of view of the accused is what feminists call “himpathy.”

“In my opinion, this man is not qualified for leadership in higher education,” Dunn says. “He is literally advocating that they keep stuff like this under the rug, openly and unapologetically. He should be removed

from his position.”

Reached again several weeks later to dis cuss Clifton’s case, Dunn says the law simply provides a minimum standard but truly doing well by survivors takes a university-wide commitment to caring about them, and building that culture generally starts at the top. She circled back to Jackson’s comments, calling them “astounding in this day and era.”

“Your culture is wrong,” she says. “Your culture doesn’t have the right values.”

Talking to the Journal in Octo ber, Clifton says she’s in a better place, phys ically and mentally, than she’s been in quite some time. As the school year approached, she began to dread the idea of returning to Cal Poly Humboldt and giving up basketball to do so. She says a friend was attending College of the Redwoods and playing vol leyball, so she decided, “Screw it, I’ll go there and try to get my love back for playing ball.”

As a part of withdrawing from Humboldt and enrolling at CR, Clifton says she put her name in the National College Athletic Association’s transfer portal, which allows student-athletes looking to change schools to put their name on list for prospective coaches to see. She says she’d moved into the CR dorms, enrolled in classes and was

practicing with the team when she got a call from Scott Meredith, the assistant coach at Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

He had recruited her to play at Oregon Tech when he coached there and asked if she would accept a scholarship to again play Di vision 2 basketball. She says she immediately said yes, and within 12 hours had dropped her classes at CR and was planning a move to the city.

As to where things go from here, Clifton says she’s not sure.

Responding to a Journal inquiry on Oct. 14, Assistant Humboldt County District Attorney Stacey Eads said her office was reviewing UPD’s investigation into Clifton’s allegations, which she said had been for warded by UPD in September with a recom mendation for a misdemeanor sexual battery charge against Al Jackson. As the Journal was going to press Oct. 25, Eads followed up to say a charging determination had been made: “We are not pursuing charges as there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred. The victim has been notified of the decision.”

Bento-Jackson, meanwhile, is preparing to coach the Lumberjacks for another season. She says she and Al Jackson “followed up with” UPD after her husband went in volun

tarily for an interview as a part of the inves tigation last spring and “were told that the investigation was complete and the matter would not be pursued.” She says it is “entire ly false that the UPD or any law enforcement agency has recommended charges.”

The Lumberjacks squad is only return ing three players from last year’s team, as Clifton and four other players with eligibility remaining are not coming back. Turnover, it seems, has been an issue with Bento-Jack son’s squads going back to the 2019-2020 season, when six players with eligibility re maining didn’t return. Four players — three freshmen and a junior — did not return the following year.

The coach alluded to this in her re sponses to the Journal. Asked if there’s anything she feels could have been done to keep Clifton at Humboldt in a situation “in which she was made to feel safe and comfortable,” Bento-Jackson responded that Clifton didn’t have the type of season “any of us expected” and the team had a “terrible season.” As a result, Bento-Jackson says she needed to “beef up her roster by bringing new athletes into the program.” She says she told her team after the season that everyone’s scholarship dollars, housing allowance and other aid would likely be

reduced as a result. Additionally, some re turning players would see new competition at their positions, she says.

“As the head coach and the person that needs to break this news to players, anger is often directed at me,” Bento-Jackson says. “Sometimes that anger turns into a desire to do harm.”

For her part, Clifton says she’s not trying to do anyone harm and is simply trying to undo some of the harm done to her and prevent it from happening to anyone else. But really, she’s trying to focus on the one thing that used to be everything: basketball. She’s practicing with her new team, looking forward to her sophomore season, wishing she could somehow leave everything that happened at Cal Poly Humboldt behind her. But she says she knows that’s not possible, at least for now. Nonetheless, she says she’s happy to be in a new environment where the court once against feels safe.

“I think that love of basketball is really coming back,” she says. l

What’s

of Fresh Starts in

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Annie’s Cambodian Cuisine in Henderson

More renovation has been afoot in Hen derson Center at 2850 F St., where Annie’s Cambodian Cuisine has transplanted and transformed. The new spot, formerly Le Monde and then Manzanilla, boasts an airier, more upscale dining room than its former home in a run-down building on Fifth Street, now slated for demolition to make way for a Starbuck’s and another drive-through chain.

“We were slammed. We’ve been pretty blessed,” says Laura Chau-Yang of the Oct. 17 grand opening. Though some of that blessing was in heavy disguise back in March, when her family was first hunting for anoth er location. “Being forced to relocate kind of gave us a clean slate,” she says. Chau-Yang, who took on co-ownership with her mother Annie Chau in January, says local interior designer Aubrey Ritter helped create a welcoming and transportive space that feels like Cambodia to them. So far, the 56-seat dining room — roughly twice the size of the old place — has been filling up.

“We’ve seen a lot of familiar faces com ing back,” says Chau-Yang. While everyone is getting used to the new kitchen, the staff, but for one server who’s changed careers, has returned, too. Regulars may see less of Annie’s husband, Chin Chau, though. “My dad’s at the age where he just wants to retire. He’s worked so hard all his life,” says Chau-Yang, who says she’s grateful to have his help making the transition and “tying up loose ends.”

The dishes with which the Chaus have built their loyal following remain as well, from the cheese puffs and spring rolls to the lemongrass stir fries, coconut-rich catfish amok and hot pots. Chau-Yang is cooking much of it alongside her mother. “The

cuisine is what I grew up cooking, it’s what I grew up eating as a child. These are my mom’s home recipes,” she says. And those won’t be changing.

Tavern 1888 opens in the Eagle House

After 13 months of renovation and prepa ration, Tavern 1888 has opened in the Eagle House in Old Town Eureka (139 Second St.). The official grand opening was Friday, Oct. 14, and Jennifer Metz, co-owner of the Inn at 2nd & C and Phatsy Kline’s Parlor Lounge, says, “We’re excited to make it official.” The former home of Gallagher’s seats 60, says Metz, between the dining room and the bar/lounge area.

The restaurant takes its name from the year the historic building went up but the menu is more new American than old California. Executive Chef John Ruddick cooked in Hawaii for seven years before coming to Humboldt, where he also served as executive chef at the Red Lion. Metz says the Georgia roots of sous chef Jason Whitley have brought Southern and Cajun flavor to the kitchen with a family recipe for shrimp and grits and a “pasta-laya” take on jambalaya.

Newly hired pastry chef Margaret Neal will not only be heading up desserts, but bringing back tea time and morning pastries at the inn. Meanwhile, familiar face Cynthia Carter, mixologist at Phatsy’s, will be at the bar and changing the seasonal cocktail and mocktail menu. l

Witch-raft on the Bay

Scenes from the annual Witches Paddle

By Mark Larson getout@northcoastjournal.com

Despite a windy, rainy forecast again for this year’s third annual Witches Paddle on Humboldt Bay, an energetic coven of witches showed up with standup boards and paddles in hand to enjoy what turned out to be a breezy, sunny day. In addition, a quartet of witches showed up at the put-in boat ramp to provide a Witches Dance sendo for participants.

Earlier in the week, organizer Jody Himango, an avid weather watcher, had put out warnings on the event’s Facebook page about possible cancelation due to high winds but the collective witches’ spells came through with good weather.

Just after 2 p.m., the witches paddled out from the Eureka Public Marina along West Waterfront Drive against an outgoing tide, but with the wind at their backs. They headed east past the Adorni Center,

where the Party in Pink Zumbathon was raising money for the Breast and GYN Health Project in Arcata, and the Woodley Island Marina.

After circling around o shore from Halvorsen Park, the witches headed back west to the take-out, assisted by the outgoing tide. Visit northcoastjournal.com to see the full slideshow of the event.

Upper Trinity Closed to Taking Adult Kings

By Kenny Priest fishing@northcoastjournal.com

In a press release issued last week, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife projected the Upper Trinity River fall-run Chinook salmon quota would have been met as of 11:59 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21. This triggered the closure of the adult fall-run Chinook salmon fishery on the Trinity River from the Old Lewiston Bridge to the State Route 299 West Bridge at Cedar Flat. This reach will remain open for the harvest of 2-year-old jack Chinook salmon less than or equal to 23 inches. All adult Chinook salmon caught must be immediately released and reported on the angler’s report card.

Anglers may still fish for adult Chinook salmon in the Lower Trinity River sector downstream of the Denny Road Bridge at Hawkins Bar to the confluence with the Klamath River. All other sectors are closed to adult salmon harvest.

Anglers may monitor the quota status of open and closed sections of the Klamath and Trinity rivers by calling the information hotline at (800) 564-6479.

For more information, visit wildlife. ca.gov/News/upper-trinity-river-adult-chinook-salmon-quota-met.

All depths rockfi sh to begin Nov. 1

The North Coast all-depth recreational fishery will begin Nov. 1. The all-depth fishery will take place only in November and December, and only north of Point Arena. The newly open areas will allow anglers to target groundfish species in the midwater column, such as widow and yellowtail rockfish, as well as species found on the bottom. There are no special gear requirements, though unless otherwise specified, regulations require anglers to use not more than two hooks and one line to target groundfish. All other season dates, bag limits, size limits and other special area closures still apply. For more information regarding groundfish regulations,

management and fish identification tools, please visit wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/ Regulations/Groundfish-Summary.

Dungeness crab testing ongoing

Domoic acid testing in Dungeness crabs is nearly complete on the California coast. To date, samples from Crescent City, Eureka, Bodega Bay, Trinidad, Half Moon Bay/San Francisco and Monterey have all been tested at least once. Only Fort Bragg and Morro Bay have yet to post test results. None of the tested ports had crabs that exceed the action level of 30 parts per million. For more information, visit cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CEH/DFDCS/ Pages/FDBPrograms/FoodSafetyProgram/ DomoicAcid.aspx.

North Coast river closures

Currently, all North Coast rivers subjected to low flow fishing closures, including the Eel, Mad, Redwood Creek, Smith and Van Duzen, are closed. Sections of rivers that are open include the main stem Smith River from its mouth to the mouth of Rowdy Creek. New in 2022, a lowflow angling restriction was added to the section of the Eel River from the mouth to Fulmor Road at its paved junction with the south bank of the Eel River, Sept. 1 through April 30. The Mad River from the mouth to 200 yards upstream is closed until Jan. 1. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will make the information available to the public no later than 1 p.m. each Monday, Wednesday and Friday as to whether any river will be closed to fishing. The rivers can be opened up at any time. The low flow closure hotline for North Coast rivers is (707) 822-3164.

The Rivers: Lower Klamath

The salmon bite and the fishing pressure have both slowed on the lower Klamath. Fishing can be good this time of the year as some of the late-run kings start to stage in front of the bigger creeks. For the week ending Oct. 21, a total of 14 jacks were harvested above the 101 Bridge compared to 43 from the previous week. The daily bag limit is two jack Chinook 23 inches or less, and two hatchery steelhead.

Chetco estuary

Salmon fishing has slowed in the Chetco estuary as the bulk of this year’s early fall run has moved into the tidewater area, according to Martin. “Bobber fishing with roe and sand shrimp has been good, but conditions are crowded at most of the deeper holes where salmon are kegged up. ODFW was able to gather nearly 100 salmon for the Chetco’s brood stock program with just a pair of sets of its seine net. Rains this weekend should move salmon upriver. The Chetco is open to bobber fishing only above river mile 2.2, the power lines just above the Highway 101 bridge. Gear restrictions are lifted Nov. 5.”

Fun-Size: Arts! Arcata

By L.L. Kessner artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

Walking in chilly autumn darkness from storefront to dispersed storefront for Arts! Arcata last Friday night felt a little like trickor-treating for art. The eclectic celebra tion produced little surprises behind each door.

Music dominated visual art, though there was clear enthusiasm and investment among many shops about displaying artists’ work. The music of Carib bean Jazz Odyssey drifting from the pop-up beer garden gave the experience an almost surreal vibe — a movie version of someone checking out art on a night like this in a town like this would have exactly that soundtrack.

I started with a mocktail at the Griffin, where Joyce Jonté was hosting a popular monthly life drawing session with Red wood Model Co. Fun, brightly colored bird portraits from Fine Art by Erica filled the space. Artist Erica Brooks said she began these oil paintings after completing her MFA, which was focused on tight, detailed renderings. With this work she’d wanted to do something opposite: loose and free.

I hiked from there over to the oppo site end of the downtown activities to check out Toni Magyar’s group show Artist Renditions from the Pandemic: Reunion and Celebration in the Upstairs Gallery of Umpqua Bank. Admitting a personal bias for desert imagery, I was drawn to Mag yar’s “Joshua Tree Morning” amid the nice mix of work by art community regulars in the exhibition. The light in Magyar’s acrylic landscape — breaking over a distant ridge and desert scrub inhabited by a single tiny jackrabbit — seemed almost evangelical and appropriate for the show’s theme.

At Moonrise Herbs, harmoniously

colored hanging weavings by Gabrielle Luo incorporated natural and found materials with yarn into poetic wholes.

The Plaza showcased Vaughn Hutch’s carbon 4-by-5-inch prints of the Emerald Mile. These petite images of light through redwoods were striking for their scale, forcing the viewer to get up close and reconsider scenery that is (here anyway) commonplace and universally character ized by grandeur.

Someone headed the opposite di rection on H Street asked if I wanted to check out a cool show next week and I said, “Sure.” He handed me a small flyer for the band White Deer and said, “They’re playing right now at the gallery,” and pointed farther up the block. I strolled on and discovered folks gathered onto the sidewalk to listen to the energetic, bluesy indie rock through the open door. Inside

Arcata Gallery, large black and white pho tographs by Sarah Vee stood out. Focused on pattern and reflections, the framing of these quiet images rendered familiar residential fragments nearly abstract.

I stopped by the Creative Sanctuary to cap off my evening with a duo show of vibrant portraits by Moxie Saturday and Soulbunni. Soulbunni’s playful represen tations are of invented characters. The self-described Afrocentric watercolorist told me she enjoys the medium because it’s fast and affordable, and allows for blending and flamboyance. She uses layering and glazing to make images that are both fluid and vivid. Soulbunni said her color pallet is meant to evoke a “softer” psychedelia. Like most of the work that debuts on the first Friday of the month for Arts! Arcata, you’ve still got time to see it. l

She Kills Monsters on a Quest at CPH

By Tiggerbouncer Custodio frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

Abrilliant theatrical script leaves room for designers to be bold in their decisions. And if you pair that with a raucous cast obviously enjoying them selves, an audience will share in the joy and overlook or even justify some imperfections. Qui Nguyen’s She Kills Monsters is that script and it is a pleasure to witness Cal Poly Humboldt’s players tell this story.

The narrator (Dar Benker Gilkey) musters up her best Galandriel voice to explain amidst some brilliant shadow puppetry that Agnes’s (Miah Carter) par ents and sister Tillie (Geneva Bell) were killed in a collision, but “This isn’t the story of that tragedy.” While packing Til lie’s belongings with her boyfriend Miles (Stephan Chittenden), Agnes discovers a Dungeons and Dragons campaign she created before her death. In an attempt to learn more about her estranged sister, Agnes seeks the help of nerdy student/ badass dungeon-master Chuck (Evan Pierce) to explore the game and why her sister loved it so much. Chuck offers to play it with Agnes who enters the “Quest for the Lost Souls of Athens” accompa nied by Dark Elf Kaliope (Priscilla Cuellar), Demon Queen Lilith (Krystie Obiso) and Tillius the Paladin (Agnes’s sister Tillie). Alternating between the game, reality and the fine lines where they intersect, Agnes learns more about her sister through her writing and imagination than she did when she was alive. Though the process is not at all as tragic as it sounds — it stays fun with sword fights, magic missiles, plenty of severed limbs, cheerleading demons (Oliver David and Mallory Merlo), a foul-mouthed faerie

(Aly Greaver), and a five-headed dragon.

I appreciate director Sarah Peters Gonzalez’s choices to keep the produc tion simple. Some might see a script call for swords, missiles and a grand quest befitting the most hardcore of die tossers and want to strategically plan a San Diego Comic Con-esque manga-tude production. However, Gonzalez’s sim plicity adds to the comedy by taking the absurdity to sometimes ridiculous levels.

It played on my nostalgia for creating ’80s Renaissance fair/sci-fi costumes as a poor, brown, bullied kid, escaping into alternate default realities; I’m sure I wore the same green blob costume used in the show for Halloween. Sometimes the inconsistency of using real swords as props but not real leather or armor can easily be rectified by going with foam padded LARP weapons. Still, the choices feel intentional and not like an oversight. Cindy Shepard’s costumes are equally well-thought out in her minimal interpretations of characters. Sometimes relying on a literal translation like a Tin kerbell-ish fairy and other times a looser interpretation like a shiny, thin Lycra to represent armor or a brocade to read as leather. Her costumes gave the feeling of something the characters made, which can be supported by the script. Con versely, Dionna Ndlovu’s lighting design

is not minimalistic but sublime in its beauty. This designer understands the harmony in mixing colors and designing for all the elements — people and things — appearing in their space, making bold decisions to make them seen. Bravo! Alongside a set designer that I scoured the playbill in vain to name finally makes use of the fly system. The pairing makes the show deeply aesthetically satisfying.

Carter’s ability to play the straight man, anchoring the onslaught of zaniness while staying interesting and engaging, is necessary for the success of the show and she rises to the occasion. A beautiful moment with Obiso late in the show is particularly touching and poignant without being overly dramatic. Maver ick Cheney’s Steve steals the show as he ups the stakes with every entrance. Other scene stealers were Elena German as Vera, who is strong and grounded in their comical advice, and Jake Hyslop as Orcus the Overlord of the Underworld — an approachable, loving and funny red demon. The true success of the actors is their ability to stay on the same level in their attention and their willingness to be in the moment and play. It is the magic of a company where an actor is simultaneously supported and support for others. Their comradery shows in the piece and permeates the audience. Once

the ensemble realizes the immensity of the Van Duzer’s space and matches not only their voices but energy output accordingly, everyone will undoubtedly excel further.

She Kills Monsters is pure comedy with a heart of gold and accessible depth. It deserves to be seen.

Cal Poly Humboldt’s Department of Dance, Music and Theatre presents She Kills Monsters Friday and Saturday, Oct. 28 and 29, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. at the Van Duzer Theatre ($10, $8 seniors/students/children, free for CPH students with ID).

Spookyville

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Halloween tends to promote itself, even when it lands on a Monday, like in this wretched year. That’s just an invitation for a long weekend. I’ll probably go out, even though it’s the first day of the working week. I’m not too stressed about missing out on distributing candy, as I doubt that the forces of inflation would allow too many rolls of toilet paper to be thrown at my house and, if they do show up, I’ll likely welcome them as a windfall amid dire economic times. I like Halloween generally, and I am going to do my best to enjoy this year’s iteration, even though I don’t really have a lot of spirit in my soul at present time. One look at the state of the world is more than enough to draw out whatever fears I have lurking in the spooky corridors of my consciousness. And yet, I will probably rally, as you might as well, and find a way to navigate this creepfest that sits on the doorstep of the midterms. If you feel so inclined, here’s a handy guide to help you enjoy the week, too.

Thursday

Mr. Carmack is the stage name of one Aaron Carmack, a DJ who specializes in a heady mix of contemporary EDM and throwback hip hop. If you are inclined toward those soundscapes, you have likely already heard of the chap and will no doubt be excited to hear he is playing the Arcata Theater Lounge tonight at 9 p.m.

Pricing goes as follows: $25 general, $20 advance and $18 for an early bird special that might have expired by press time.

Friday

Well, it’s the beginning of the long Halloween weekend, which means parties and haunted houses galore for those con nected and in the know. I have no desire to advertise for or compete with those pockets of fun, so just hang on as I give you the info on the ancillary shows going down from now thru Monday, please.

Tonight at Six Rivers Brewery at 6 p.m., you can catch Oryan Peterson-Jones doing a

DJs Maxwell, Philly Fresh, DJ Red and Alpha Info bring Soul Party to Humbrews on Saturday, Oct. 29, at 9:30 p.m. Photo by Kayla Maines, courtesy of the artists

solo acoustic set of his fast classical-type of world music. It’s free and worth your time. Three hours later, over at Humbrews, you will find a drum n bass spectacular, with visiting guest DJ Jon Kennedy joining DJ Grasshoppa, Dev Stepp and Norman Tracks for a heavy beat-driven spooky manifesto ($10).

Saturday

Humbrews is the destination for the OG dance party-turned skeletal. I’m talking about Soul Party, of course, which is having a special cemetery edition tonight at 9:30 p.m., complete with a costume contest and spooky selfie station for the posterity-minded. As always, you can ensure that DJs King Maxwell, Red, Funky T Rex, Philly Fresh and Alpha Info will be supplying the finest dance tones for your own private Monster Mash ($10).

Sunday

Los Angeles rockabilly act The Rocketz are back in town for a whirlwind local residency that finds them at the Jam tonight at 9 p.m. ($10). They’re teaming up with local ska act Checkered Past for something called a Zombie Prom, which I can only infer from the title is intended to be both spooky and Halloween-appropriate.

Halloween

Argh, the big day falls on a Monday, drat. That’s OK, there are still people who are dedicated to giving you a proper scare and spooky time on the first day of the working week. And I happen to be in a position to vouch for those people, having seen them hawk their wares earlier in the year with magnificent results. I am talking about The Sturgeons and their Alice in Chains cover band We Die Young. Both acts will be teaming up at Humbrews with DJ REDRUM and one of the finest hooting and hollering bands on the planet, the Bow-Legged Buzzards, for an evening of pure creepy mirth. The fun starts at 7:30

p.m., and $10 seems like a paltry o ering for such rich excitement.

Tuesday, All Saints’ Day

As the veil is thin, and the living and the dead are nearer now to each other than they will ever be for the rest of the year, today and tomorrow are a great time to pray with the dead. My advice? Don’t pray for them, rather ask them to pray for you. Don’t be afraid to ask for some spectral help as we guide ourselves towards the bleak winter and recall that it’s always appropriate to venerate the memories of our dearly departed.

Wednesday, Day of the Dead/All Souls’ Day

I tend to divide my earliest memories by the ones that happened in my birth city, San Francisco, and the ones that happened in the town in which I began first grade, McKinleyville. Quite a lot of cultural whiplash, I can assure you. Anyway, I’m fairly certain it was right around that hinge point when I was exposed to a cult classic film (far too early, I suppose) that really is a perfect film, for what it is. I am talking about director John McTiernan’s 1987 masterpiece Predator, a film in which the hunters (a bunch of muscle-bound contra goons) become the hunted, stalked by an interstellar, double-mandible-sporting sport hunter. It’s a fantastic movie for a lot of reasons, many of which become apparent on the big screen, which you can experience this evening at 6 p.m. at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. A $5 bill gets you in, while $9 gets you admittance with a poster.

Collin Yeo (he/him) is a writer and carpenter who lives in Arcata. Not much else to say at the moment.

V/H/S/99. The year 1999 was a noisy, notable one for movies — it can be marked as the year the movie industry and probably the expectations of audiences at large changed forever, maybe not for the better.

After an excruciatingly protracted, admittedly revolutionary advertising campaign, in July of that year, we were finally granted access to The Blair Witch Project, a glorified video project in which some crazed capitalist maniac could see the future, wherein a trio of bumbling white kids wander into the Maryland woods in search of … it’s kind of in the title. When rumors of Blair Witch started rattling the windows, I was probably even more cynical than I am now. Additionally, I was trying to become a video-store movie nerd and had entered into a period of profound depression and unmooredness; also there was some experimentation with psychoactive compounds of many colors but, that’s a story better left for another time. Anyway, the movie was a sensation before it became a sensation, trumpeted as the scariest experience of a lifetime and maybe even a genuine found-footage relic, a suggestion supported by the aforementioned ingenious marketing campaign. This was all hogwash, of course, and the movie we would eventually see was a product as much of exhaustive re-editing and the power of suggestion as it was the imaginations of its creators. From an

original budget of $60,000, Blair Witch would go on to gross something like $250 million; I walked out of the theater righteously indignant — if not seasick, a common complaint in the early days of shaky-cam — into a changed landscape. The floodgates had opened, the movie ’90s were over.

There followed an embarrassingly fecund period of found-footage schlock (a few examples transcend), the one positive outcome of which was the chance some genuinely creative people got for their work to be seen. The model itself, though, flying in the face of conventional cinema craft, continued to upbraid my indelicate sensibilities until, well, I’m still prattling on about it, aren’t I? Over the intervening, interminable period, though, I’ve been broken down enough to sacrifice some of my formalist tendencies and spent enough time hungover to the point of manic catatonia in dark theaters, susceptible enough to shocks that Wreck-It-Ralph terrified me, to reach something like acceptance, if not appreciation.

Of course, I understand and acknowledge that e ort and imagination required to plan and execute these things. I wouldn’t cast aspersions on (most of) the people involved, I just care too much about the medium to embrace the eschewing of some of its dearest attributes.

Which is preamble to my first experience of the V/H/S canon, of which 99 is appar ently the fifth entry.

Harkening back a decade, V/H/S represents something of a wave within a wave, a horror anthology that cleaves to found footage while allowing for a greater degree of experimentation by telling a handful of briefer stories, loosely con nected by some sort of framing device. Because 1999 was something of an alpha and an omega for eras of cinema, as well a noteworthy year in my own heart-shapelocked little book of memories, this most recent V/H/S seemed an appropriate entry point and an opportunity to get over myself.

For better and worse, 99 captures some of the pre-surveillance ambiance and lazy energy of the day, channeling the JNCO pants, rollerblades and sweaty proxy-rape vibes omnipresent but largely unexamined in the cinema of the day (American Pie, Can’t Hardly Wait), combining all of that with ghouly-gory throwbacks to even more bygone eras. The result is an object of some fascination, as much for its ideas about its time and place as for the stories it presents therein.

In Shredding, written and directed by Maggie Levin, a teen pop-punk band decides to get super edgy, breaking into a shuttered venue where another, better band perished by trampling in the panic following a fire some years earlier and may still lurk.

Johannes Roberts’ Suicide Bid buries an over-zealous sorority pledge alive — lit erally — with unpleasant but unsurprising results.

Ozzy’s Dungeon — directed by su per-heady hip-hop legend Flying Lotus, who co-wrote with Zoe Cooper — the nastiest and most original entry, reimag ines the daytime game shows ’80s and ’90s kids consumed ad nauseum with their Kix and Bagel Bites as a forum for revenge upon revenge.

Tyler MacIntyre (with co-writer Chris Lee Hill) cleaves closest to the source ma terial with The Gawkers, pitting a group of skater-bro douchebags against the object of their crude fixation, though the illusion is, as is so often the case, punctured by Gen-Z verbal tics.

To Hell and Back (Vanessa and Joseph Winter) closes out the works with a humorous palate cleanser about a pair of amateur videographers who, setting out to document a Wiccan conjuring on New Year’s Eve, take an unexpected journey.

Trouble on the Line: The Decision –

By Barry Evans fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

“Only men of the Eel River Line would railroad here: the ordinary railroad man would take one look, collect his pay and disappear to flatland railroading to seek a less adventurous form of employment.”

– Donald D. Edmisten, Railroad Inspector for the Eureka Southern, 1989

It’s easy to look back and say, “What were they thinking?” I’ve certainly done my fair share of second-guessing while driving down U.S. Highway 101 to San Francisco. “This is the route they should have chosen for Eureka’s railroad connection to the Bay Area, down the South Fork of the Eel, not down the main channel,” I’ll say to Louisa. But smarter and more experienced civil engineers than me did, indeed, decide against the South Fork route U.S. Highway 101 more-or-less follows through Garberville and Leggett to Willits. Minutes later, we’ll be driving over the two bridges that, since 2009, have bypassed the Confusion Hill grade, re membering the landslides that closed the highway virtually every year … and maybe the South Fork wouldn’t have been such a great route after all.

As it was, in 1907, railroaders picked the route that heads east from today’s 101 at Longvale, along what’s now Covelo Road to Dos Rios, thence north into the Eel Riv er Canyon to Dyerville (South Fork), where the South Fork of the Eel enters the main channel. And north to Eureka and Arcata.

It came about this way: In the early 1900s, two railroads — the Atchison, Tope ka and Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific — were vying to be the first to connect our part of the world with the San Fran cisco Bay Area. By October of 1906, the two companies realized there wouldn’t be sufficient commerce for two lines, so they agreed to combine forces, forming a new company, the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. In 1907, engineers and surveyors

from the two parent companies and from the NWP agreed on the main channel (down the Eel Canyon) route, and crews set to work. But to quote Clarke Museum Director Josh Buck, who recently wrote a paper on the trials and tribulations of the NWP for his Cal Poly history class (and whose research has been invaluable for this column): “Since the finalization of the prospective route through the Eel River Canyon in 1907, the Northwestern Pacific Railroad (NWP) was doomed. ...”

The project took seven years of heroic construction, with crews laying a mile of track every 15 days on average, or 15 times slower than tracklaying under ideal conditions. Slides and washouts were a chronic problem during construction, a taste of things to come. The 95-mile stretch between Willits and South Fork required hundreds of bridges and 30 tun nels, including the longest, Island Moun tain, where crews had to blast their way through dense volcanic rock for 4,313 feet. (In September of 1978, redwood frames within the tunnel caught fire, causing a partial collapse. Repairs took more than a year to complete.) By the time of comple tion, in the fall of 1914, the Northwestern Pacific could claim to be the most expen sive railroad per mile ever built in the U.S.

Literally right from the start, the unsta ble clay-rich “blue goo” of the Eel River Canyon caused problems. Immediately after the golden spike ceremony, held near Island Mountain on Oct. 23, 1914, to celebrate completion of the railroad, a rockslide caused a seven-hour delay for the passenger train taking celebrants back to Eureka. From then on, each year of the line’s 74 years of operation required repairs due to landslides, washouts and “sinks,” where the tracks drop into soft spots of subgrade.

To be continued next week. l

Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) is so ready for the Great Redwood Trail, along the former NWP right-of-way, to come to fruition.

The total amount secured by said instrument as of the time of initial publication of this notice is stated above, which includes the total amount of the unpaid balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of this notice. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to fee and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have the right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, or visit this internet website: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS#21-2855, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the street address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the trustee’s information line at 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, or visit this Internet Website: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS #21-2855. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Pamela Walsh Olson

1946 - 2022

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Pamela Walsh Olson, who passed away peacefully at home in Eureka on Sunday, September 25th at the age of 76 after a short, courageous battle with cancer.

Pam was born on July 27, 1946 in San Francisco and grew up in Eureka. She was an amazing wife, daughter, sister, auntie, cousin, teacher, and a trusted & supportive friend to countless family members, friends, and colleagues. She was compassionate to others and shared her zest for life with all who knew her. Her open and positive attitude, mischievous sense of humor, loving and loyal devotion to family & friends, and general appreciation for a wide range of diverse personalities endeared her to those fortunate enough to have known her.

After graduating from Eureka High School in the 1964, Pam attended UC Davis where she received her BA degree and teaching credential in the late 60s. Her teaching career commenced at that time in the nearby community of Dixon, where she taught for a couple of years prior to accepting another position in Southern California in the early 70s. Pam had a spirit of adventure and was very independent, and after a few more years of teaching she struck out via car traveling alone to visit museums, historical sites, and family & friends across the country. At times she would record her thoughts and experiences in her beautiful calligraphy handwriting in the form of extensive letters she sent home to the family. During her travels she researched alternative schools & teaching methods and ultimately took a teaching position in Illinois for a short time. After leaving Illinois she began working her way back west via Idaho and elsewhere before returning to the Eureka/Arcata area in 1976 to help care for her ill mother. After her mother’s death in 1977, Pam took a break from teaching for several years to work on a fishing boat for one season and to work with her brother Mike at a company he co-owned in Marin County. While living in the Bay Area she began pursuing a business degree at SF State.

Pam met her beloved husband Jim Olson in 1981 and they married early the next year, beginning a rich and wonderful love affair that lasted over 40 years. They shared a deep appreciation for the beauty of the Humboldt/Trinity/Del Norte region and spent treasured time with family & friends at the family cabin on the Klamath River, which provided many happy memories throughout their life together. After returning to Eureka with Jim, Pam resumed her teaching career. During this time she completed her Master’s degree at Humboldt State and turned her focus toward the administrative side of education for the rest of her career. Throughout all these years, Pam was a respected teacher, administrative leader, and principal who was admired by both students and staff at numerous schools including Redwood Valley, Petrolia, Hoopa/Klamath River, and Pine Hill.

Pam was an avid lifelong reader and lover of books, and she became a skilled sketch artist later in life. She supported and volunteered for numerous worthy causes in all the communities she served and lived in. Pam demonstrated humanity at its best and lived with a balance of strength and grace. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

In addition to her devoted husband Jim, Pam is survived by her brother Mike of Santa Rosa (Lynne and sons Jason & Sean), sister Sandy of Eureka (son Isaac & daughter Leanore), brother John of Orinda, stepson Chad Olson of Eureka, stepsisters Carol Clarke of Medford OR, Sue Harrison of Medford OR, and Gretchen Howard of HI, sister-in-law Pam Bower and brother-in-law Thomas Olson of Eureka, numerous cherished cousins, and countless dear friends. Their world has been greatly enriched by having Pam in it. She was preceded in death by her father Dr. Joseph Francis Walsh, mother Margery Wheeler Walsh, stepmother Janie Howard Walsh, stepdaughter Heidi Olson, brother-inlaw Larry Kern, and sister-in-law Kathy Richards.

There will be a private family gathering to honor Pam’s memory at a later date. Pam’s family requests that any donations be made in her honor to the Humboldt Library Foundation. Her family thanks all the loving cousins and compassionate friends who supported Pam & Jim so respectfully and affectionately during the last few difficult months.
