Arcata weighs investigation options as councilmember heads to rehab

he city of Arcata is currently weighing whether and how it investigates allegations against Councilmember Brett Watson, at least some of which were the subject of a closed session meeting earlier this month to discuss the city’s potential exposure to litigation and later prompted a very public rebuke from his colleagues on the dais.

“Information will be released as appropriate considering personal and privacy concerns,” City Manager Karen Diemer writes in an email to the Journal. She said no formal complaints or claims have been filed against Watson or the city related to the matter.

Meanwhile, Watson, who was arrested in August for driving under the influence, is out as mayor but — as of Oct. 26 — still sits on the council. Two days after his city council colleagues voted unanimously Oct. 22 that they have no confidence in his ability to serve on the council and to replace him as mayor, Watson issued a statement saying that he was entering “a 30-day residential rehabilitation program to focus on depression and personal issues.”

“My goal is to get myself better before making any decisions on how I can continue to best serve my community,” Watson’s statement reads. “I’m very grateful for the outpouring of support I’ve received and I’ll inform the community of my decision as soon as possible.”

That statement — which Watson sent on city letterhead from his private email without informing the council or city staff, according to Diemer — culminated a week of confusion about Watson’s status and speculation about what he might have done after his fellow councilmembers made it clear that they no longer believed he is fit to serve and publicly accused him of wrongdoing.

Just two days earlier, now Mayor Stacy Atkins-Salazar was selected to replace him during a special session called before the regular council meeting. Watson was absent due to what she described as “personal reasons.”

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

Vice Mayor Emily Goldstein, who was also appointed to her position at the meeting, then read a somewhat lengthy but vague statement before moving that the council cast a no-confidence vote, which — she noted — Watson had been informed would take place.

“We have no legal ability to remove him from the city council. However, I believe we owe it to the people of Arcata to make it clear — we do not align ourselves with the actions of Councilmember Watson,” Goldstein read at the Oct. 20 meeting.

“This last week, information came to light regarding alleged behaviors of Councilmember Watson that negatively affected the city and some of its staff members.

“It is our responsibility now, as the council, to protect the well-being of our employees and the ability of our city to run smoothly,” she continued. “While to some of you it may seem unfair that we are moving forward with this vote of no confidence when Councilmember Watson is not present, we did feel it was important to be transparent with the residents of Arcata and share that this decision of leadership rotation and this proposed vote were made based on a body of information, although some of this cannot be shared publicly at this time.

I have previously conveyed my thoughts to Councilmember Watson and he has been made aware that this vote would move forward at this evening’s council meeting. I do not take this decision lightly.

I have shared all I can at this time and the city will address the alleged actions in a confidential manner.”

The four council members then cast their unanimous vote.

“I would just like to say Vice Mayor Goldstein summed up the situation quite well and we’ve been elected to help run and guide the city of Arcata and that’s what we want to do and are trying to do, and so it’s important that we move forward,” Atkins-Salazar said. “To reiterate, this was not taken lightly.”

Watson was arrested in August on suspicion of driving under the influence and cocaine possession and a few days later re-

leased a statement saying he was having a difficult time dealing with the anniversary of his father’s suicide.

The next month, the Mad River Union reported, Watson pleaded guilty and was placed in diversion programs that included counseling sessions. But all of that took place well before the timeline that Goldstein outlined in her admonishment.

And, so far, not much more has come to light. But at least some of the issue seems to tie back to the Oct. 13 closed session — at which Watson was present — to discuss his alleged conduct and the city’s potential exposure to litigation.

Muddling the situation further, however, is that the closed session took place two days after Diemer says Watson informed her and the city attorney that he “had informally stepped down as mayor as he considered his options.” Diemer says she isn’t sure which, if any, councilmembers Watson had informed at the time but says she and the city attorney were verbally told “as of Oct. 11.”

But when Watson — who was first appointed to fill an open seat on the council in 2017 before being elected to serve in the next election — didn’t follow up with a formal announcement of his decision to step down as mayor for a week as the next council meeting drew near, Diemer says the Oct. 20 special session was placed on the agenda to replace him.

“Ultimately, he did not share his final intent prior the Tuesday deadline to send out the special meeting agenda, so it went out as it did,” she wrote in an email to the Journal.

Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn tells the Journal that his department is not conducting a criminal investigation into the allegations against Watson referenced at the Oct. 22 meeting and Diemer says the city is limited in what can be said at this time.

She did say that the council has not given or been asked to give Watson permission to be absent from meetings during his time in treatment.

Under state law, according to the Arcata City Council Protocol Manual, a council

seat is considered vacated “if a councilmember is absent without permission from all regular city council meetings for 60 days consecutively from the last regular meeting he or she attended.”

Councilmembers are also required to inform the city manager if they are going to be absent from the city for more than 24 hours and state how long they intend to be away.

Meanwhile, Atkins-Salazar, in comments to the Union before Watson’s statement was released, offers a bit but not much more about the situation by saying that other people’s privacy needed to be considered before releasing any more information.

“I was elected to serve the City of Arcata and that is and has been my top priority,” Atkins-Salazar says in the Oct. 21 comments. “The actions taken last

night were necessary for us to be able to move forward productively as a council, and they were not taken lightly. Vice Mayor Goldstein’s statement adequately put forth the details of the situation we have been dealing with, so the public is informed as much as is possible and appropriate at this time. There are other people and their privacy to consider in this situation, therefore I will be treating the details of the matter confidentially. I was elected to serve Arcata and I would like to focus on doing just that.”

Davies-Hughes Tapped To Lead HCOE

T

he Humboldt County Board of Education voted after a marathon Oct. 25 special session to appoint Michael Davies-Hughes as the county’s next superintendent of schools.

Davies-Hughes will take over for Superintendent Chris Hartley, who has held the post since March of 2017 when he took over for Garry Eagles but has announced he will step down from the post Nov. 2 to take a position as the deputy executive director of the California Collaborative for Education Excellence. But Davies-Hughes’ tenure could prove brief, as Hartley’s term expires in January of 2023, meaning Davies-Hughes will go before voters in June of 2022.

The board repeatedly praised the deep pool of candidates for the position — which also included Fortuna Union High School District Superintendent Glen Senestraro, Arcata Elementary School District Superintendent Luke Biesecker, McKinleyville Unified School District Heidi Moore-Guynup and Assistant County Superintendent of Schools Colby Smart — before bringing the matter to a vote. It then saw motions to appoint Moore-Guynup and Smart fail before considering Davies-Hughes.

“My goal,” Davies-Hughes wrote in a

statement to the board as a part of his application, “is to lead a dynamic team of skilled and committed staff at the Humboldt County Office of Education in the work of providing relevant and effective support to the school districts in Humboldt County, resulting in measurable and sustainable growth in academic achievement and college and career readiness for all students.”

Hartley’s unexpected resignation — accepted by the board Oct. 5 — prompted the board to conduct an expedited search for the county’s next top education official, and this evening’s discussion saw the board wrestle with the ramifications of that, as some supported the continuity Smart would bring to the position and concerns about the “domino effect” of multiple officials changing positions during a school year already complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

But a majority of the board ultimately supported the appointment of Davies-Hughes to the post.

Currently the assistant superintendent of educational services for Eureka City Schools, the county’s largest district, Davies-Hughes previously served as the principal of Morris Elementary School and the superintendent of McKinleyville Union School District from 2012 to 2015, where

The cases remain under investigation.

Who Haunts the Stairways of the Historic Eagle House?

A Tale of Two Hauntings (Maybe) 10

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

ave you been in an old house or historic building and heard footsteps on the stairs? You hear the distinct creak of footfalls on each step and you’re certain that some living person must be there. And then ... .

You see no one. Maybe you even realize you’re alone in the house. Or, at least, you’re the only living person there.

Before we moved to Eureka, my husband, kids and I lived in a century-old house near Boston. A friend of ours had visited that house many times as a child; his grandparents had lived there and his grandfather died in the house. This friend told us after his grandfather died, his grandmother told him she heard her late husband’s distinctive footsteps many times, climbing the stairs to the room in which he’d died. That story made a big impression on us. It was a sound we had often heard in that house: the sound of footsteps on those creaking stairs, when, as far as we could see, no one was there.

Staircases seem to be among the world’s most haunted locations. When people describe the “things that go bump in the night” in apparently haunted houses, one of the most common experiences is hearing disembodied footsteps on the stairs. This may be because staircases are what academics refer to as “liminal spaces” — transitional boundaries between two locations, sharing some characteristics of each. Staircases are literally liminal spaces between two floors. Is it possible they also tend to be boundaries between the living world and another plane of existence?

Eureka’s Old Town Haunted History Ghost Tours was founded in 2010 by local historian and educator Eric Vollmers. I joined the venture as an assistant tour guide the next year, after going on the tour myself with out-of-town guests. Becoming a ghost tour guide made perfect sense as a career move for me. As a kid, I would regularly check out “true haunting” books from our local library. Then, in my grad school days, I studied in England at the University of York, named for its city, which claims the title of most haunted city in Britain. After several years living in a town that boasts up to seven rival ghost tours during the tourist season, frequent interactions with ghosts seem like a normal part of life (although sadly, I am

probably one of the world’s least psychically-sensitive people).

Old Town Haunted History Ghost Tours are two-hour walking tours of Old Town’s haunted streets and alleyways, with indoor stops in some of the most notoriously haunted hot spots. In these pandemic times, the tours are on hold until our dayto-day lives become less spooky. We hope to bring the tours back to life sometime in the new year.

In Eureka’s Inn at 2nd and C, the huge, rambling Victorian hotel historically known as the Eagle House, the staircases seem particularly rich in reports of haunting activity. During the decade that the Old Town Haunted History Ghost Tours have been in operation, the Eagle House’s stairways have provided some of our most intriguing paranormal encounters.

One night in 2012, I was leading a tour group through the Eagle House. We stopped on the elegant balcony overlooking the ballroom, where I began telling stories of the old hotel’s reported hauntings. One woman on the tour tentatively asked if any of us had heard a voice speak as we climbed the stairs from the lobby to the balcony.

None of us, including me, had heard anything. The woman gave a mystified frown. She told the rest of us she was sure she had heard, while we were climbing the stairs, someone clearly speaking the word “diphtheria.”

The Eagle House was built in the 1880s, when Humboldt County was ravaged by frequent diphtheria epidemics. Referred to as “the strangling angel,” this respiratory disease was particularly deadly to children. Hearing the woman’s description, I wondered if one of the spirits haunting the Eagle House lost a child or children in the local diphtheria epidemics. “Diphtheria” seemed to make sense as a word that would be spoken by someone from the Eagle House’s past. It didn’t make sense as a word that a modern person would imagine hearing.

Another seemingly haunted Eagle House staircase is in a section of the hotel on Second Street that used to be a separate building: what was known in the early 20th century as the First Chance Hotel. That staircase, leading up to a fire escape on the roof, is said in local legends

One night, a self-identified psychic on the ghost tour told me she was in contact with the spirit on that staircase. She said the ghost was a man and that he told her he had not committed suicide. The ghost said he was murdered and his killer arranged the scene to make it look like he’d hanged himself. So far, we’ve learned nothing more of this story. We hope to someday find a trace of it in the historical record — or perhaps the ghost will tell another psychic more of his story.

A third ghostly staircase connects a cozy — but apparently very haunted — lounge on the third floor with the fourth floor penthouse level. At the end of the tour one night in 2018, a tour guest grabbed a paper napkin from the bar at the Oberon Grill (also very haunted, according to local legend) and sketched on it the portrait of the ghost she said she’d seen when she looked up the Eagle House’s stairs from that lounge. She drew a man on the staircase, wearing an overcoat and a fedora-style hat, and said she had the feeling he was watching over the room we were standing in. The ghost, she

said, wanted to protect the people in that room.

Maybe he’s the same ghost a 10-yearold girl told me about one night. This girl told me that as soon as our tour went inside the Eagle House, a man’s ghost joined us and accompanied us throughout the hotel. When we left again, he walked outside with us for a brief way and then went back inside because the Eagle House is where he belongs. The girl told me he’d gone on the tour with us to make sure we were safe, to see that none of the other Eagle House ghosts did anything to frighten us.

That girl’s story became one of my own favorite stories to tell my guests on the Old Town Haunted History Ghost Tours.

If the stairways, rooms and corridors of the historic Eagle House are truly haunted, I’m glad to know some of the things that go bump in the night are the footsteps of friends.

Fast Favorites. Minor Scares Things that went bump in the Minor Theatre

By David Jervis

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

A

rcata’s Minor Theatre opened way back in 1914, so long ago that’s it never been established if it was the first one in the nation built primarily as a cinema, but it was sure close. It’s never been made clear whether Harry Houdini performed there in the 1920s but the lore is more fun if it’s accepted as a (non-verifiable) fact.

So, can a 107-year-old local cinema

really not be haunted? That’s one worth pondering. In the early 1990s, while in college, I got a job at the Minor, which at that time was jointly owned and operated with the nearby Arcata Theatre. So I worked at both, then climbed up to manager, which also included some projectionist work on the two theater’s now long-gone 35mm projectors.

Eventually, I got kicked upstairs to working as PR flak/jack-of-all-trades, although my small office was at the Arcata Theatre. That place was a relative youngster, only dating back to 1938, and while it had the oddest staircase in the county and a pretty recurrent problem with silverfish, haunted it did not seem to be.

The Minor, however, was another story.

The Minor was built by Arcata dry goods and land magnate Isaac Minor, who had such a fortune late in his years that he was looking to spend some coin. After founding a bank, he sought more and built a grand-for-a small town cinema across the street, and his bearded, stoic visage

can be seen in an aisle seat in the Minor’s iconic opening night photo. He died less than a year later.

Now, a structure built the year the Titanic sank is bound to be a little creaky, despite the millions spent in upgrades and restoration over the years. (The original auditorium has never been altered; the two smaller theaters were built in a directly adjacent building in 1989.) But I had heard tales of strange sounds and odd happenings before I even worked there.

I had a natural curiosity but also a strong streak of skepticism.

But then … .

One night at the Minor, I sat at the box office counting the till, around 9:45 p.m.

It was a slow night and the only other employee was Heather, who was sitting on the south stairs and reading a book.

Lobby deserted, not a soul in sight. For whatever reason, I had just looked up from my work and out at the corner of 10th and H streets. No one, not even a car.

Looked back down.

And then, loudly: “Shhhh!”

I froze and then looked around again. No one indoors or out, but a silent reading Heather on the stairs.

And then from Heather:“Did you hear that?”

“What?”

“Someone going ‘Shhhh’!”

“No,” I lied, for whatever reason. I was still a little freaked out, I guess. We both heard it. No one was in sight. Again, not a soul. No vent or anything in the building made that sound.

And about a year later, when I was backing out of the third-story projection booth in the main auditorium while checking in on how the projector and platters were doing on Short Cuts, I had a sense that somebody was walking up the stairs behind me — I turned around and again, not a living soul. Co-workers quite often talked about odd noises, hushed voices or sounds of footsteps. And while I dismissed most of the stories as the result of a building doing what TV’s Mike Brady (an architect, remember) would call “settling,” some other accounts were spooky.

After all, my then-girlfriend, as she walked around with me while I was closing up one night, had the double whammy: She felt steps coming up behind her and heard a loud “Shhhh” when I was nowhere nearby.

Joshua Neff, the current owner of the Minor, did not return my request for comment. David Phillips, who along with various partners owned the Minor from 1972 to 2016, said simply in an email, “I have to believe it’s runaway imagination or just enhancing the mysteries of the Minor deliberately. All of which is OK but for me to believe it, I’d have to be there.”

Well, jeez. That’s no fun. Phillips did, as he did way back when he my boss, point out that that are a lot of places in the Minor for non-ghost pranksters to hide and do their mischief: There’s a floor trapdoor, for instance, which goes to the old Vaudeville-era dressing rooms under the stage, plus some odd passages in the upstairs. He also mentioned that decades back there had been séances held in the lobby, with “plenty of opportunity to be spooky if you know the building.”

Séances do suggest a case of searching for what one seeks to find, much like setting off on the hunt for the abominable snowman and keeping at it until you find some shreds of evidence (or fall for someone pulling your leg). But in my long ago days at the Minor, I came aboard as a skeptic and would eventually leave curious, and still a little baffled. l David Jervis (he/him) is an Arcatabased freelance writer and editor.

ON THE TABLE

Sweet Offerings

El Pueblo’s pan de muerto

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

I

n the little workroom in the back of El Pueblo Market Panaderia (312 Washington St., Eureka), a young man in a flour-dusted apron leans over the worktable to knead a pale yellow dough, putting his weight into it. Engelberto Tejeda, the shop’s owner, reaches over, the sleeves of his crisp, white button down rolled to his elbows, and pinches off a couple pieces. These he quickly rolls into bone shapes with the flat of his palm before pressing them into the top of a round of dough, a final button at the center to form a traditional Mexican pan de muerto, or “bread of the dead.”

There are small buns and one big enough to serve as a generous throw pillow, as well as muertitos, little figures splashed with pink sugar. All these will adorn local tables and ofrendas, or altars for lost loved ones, ahead of Dia de Los Muertos Nov. 1 and 2. And while El Pueblo won’t be nearly as busy as it is in January with the sale of Rosca de Reyes, or King’s Day bread, a steady stream of loaves will make their way out the door this week.

Tejeda’s practiced ease flipping dough into crescent rolls and rolling it into bright, sugar-topped conchas was not always so natural.

After first coming to the U.S. from Jalisco, Mexico, in 1978, with stints working in asparagus and tomato fields in Stockton and at a vegetable market in San Francisco, at a tortilla factory and truck driving school, Tejeda started working in distribu-

tion, setting up Mexican goods sections in markets big and small. On a trip to Eureka to visit family, he noticed few places to buy Mexican goods and moved to Humboldt with his wife and three children to open a shop.

Tejeda started out with an even tinier shop (the retail space at El Pueblo’s current digs take only a couple strides to cross) on California and Wabash streets, before moving to Broadway, which had plenty of room for baking and pastry cases. To fill those cases, he hired Antonio Noguéz, an older baker from Mexico who’d worked in bakeries since he was an adolescent, and he whipped up everything from pan dulce to cookies and cheesecake.

“When he came in, he told me he wanna teach me to bake,” says Tejeda with a shrug. He declined, preferring to stick to the retail sales skills he’d already honed.

But when Noguéz fell ill and went into the hospital, his absence left the shelves bare. Tejeda says his wife helped care for Noguéz, who recovered enough to come back to work, but it was clear retirement was imminent. So Tejeda yielded and learned to make the sweets for which the shop had earned a devoted following.

Noguéz would sit and give instructions, pointing and estimating measurements for the recipes he’d baked from memory for decades. Tejeda says the older man would tell him, “‘OK, put two scoops of flour, one sugar,’ … but nothing come out.” He laughs and passes his hand over his slicked

back hair. It took long hours of apprenticeship and practice until he could turn out Noguéz’s specialties. Noguéz died years ago, but the sweets behind the counter and the pan de muerto that appears at El Pueblo every October are faithful to the recipes he knew by memory and taught by look and feel.

When the Broadway location burned down in 2017 (“Customers Rally Behind El Pueblo Market Hit by Fire,” Feb. 8, 2017), the operation moved to Redwood Acres and finally found its home on Washington Street, where the Tacos El Pueblo food truck, a business expansion started a few years ago, sits parked out front.

“Everybody make different,” says Tejeda, his splayed hands circling in the air.

But El Pueblo’s pan de muerto are made with a yeast dough enriched with egg and flavored with cinnamon. Some are brushed with an egg-and-milk wash for a glossy finish, some get sprinklings of sesame seeds

or a swipe of butter before they’re dusted with sugar.

At the register, Tejeda says the buns will last at least a week — they’ll still be soft after days on a family ofrenda, surrounded by candles, flowers and photos of the departed. But to pull off a piece in your fingers when it’s still warm from the oven is something else; the fine crumb of the interior is tender and fragrant with cinnamon, the browned crust and cinnamon add a slight, nutty bitterness against the sugar. It makes sense to welcome back the spirits of loved ones who’ve died with something so soft and familiar, with nourishing bread and the memory of sweetness. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

getout@northcoastjournal.com ist floats along the grass, flowing around headstones and disappearing with a swirl as it meets the afternoon sun. Instead of searching for gauzy materializations down long hallways, I stroll local cemeteries for restless spirits.

First is lumber magnate William Coleman Carson (1825-1912). If any house should be haunted, it’s his magnificent Victorian, the Carson Mansion. Perhaps he wanders the halls, muttering about labor costs or board feet, but the private Ingomar Club, its current owner, is tight lipped.

Instead, I find his bones moldering not in Myrtle Grove Memorial Cemetery, where he was originally interred, but where he was moved when the tonier Sunset Memorial Park opened, being more suitable for a man who left an estate valued between $15-20 million. In 1912 dollars.

At the bottom of the hill, a funeral is taking place as we turn into the cemetery.

The massive mausoleum commands the top of the hill. There, Carson and his family claim the cherry spot, just inside the right ell, in climate-controlled comfort.

Chairs are set up for a service, so we tarry only a moment to take in the hushed, golden atmosphere of Carson’s final resting place. No ghosts, just silence.

I move on to Myrtle Grove Memorial Cemetery, burial ground of Eureka’s wealthy founders and site of Carson’s original interment. I am no longer looking for the lumber king but ship owner Captain

Hans Henry Buhne (1822-1894), another of Eureka’s early movers and shakers.

The graveyard was handed over to the city of Eureka in 1958 and, after years of vandalism and disrepair, a recent volunteer effort has restored its grounds and gravestones (“Cemetery Rising,” Aug. 31, 2017).

Many markers were not in their original location, separated from their owners, broken and damaged, pieced together and reset. The mausoleums are still standing in situ, having stubbornly borne the insults of time that toppled lesser memorials.

We pass hotelier John Vance’s mausoleum, replete with swag and granite columns that suit the builder of Eureka’s grand hotel. The next mausoleum is bereft of the aforementioned Carson, though his name still adorns a classical lintel.

A trio of weathered gravestones lead up to Captain Buhne’s place of repose, the mausoleum anchoring the back corner.

Each bears the mark of a Civil War veteran but not their lifespans: “20th ME INF,” “39th NY INFT, 24th” and “A6 KANS CAV.” The bones that lie here fulfilled their service to the nation more than 150 years ago and would more likely haunt battlefields than gravesites. Myrtle Grove is the final resting place for veterans of many wars, including an infantryman from the Spanish-American War and a U.S. Navy coal heaver who died in 1935.

The stairs to Buhne’s mausoleum have the air of benign neglect, yet two open crypts hold small offerings of feathers Continued on next page »

and plastic flowers. There are no names or dates inscribed on any of the crypt faces. Perhaps the Captain planned it that way, preferring the privacy of the Buhne Building to mourn the wife who drowned in the waters that made him rich. I turn to enjoy Buhne’s commanding view of his peers. No wonder Carson decamped for the preeminent location in swankier digs. C.S. Ricks doesn’t seem to care about the captain’s primacy, still proudly proclaiming himself “A California Pioneer of 1849” from his mausoleum, resting after building Eureka’s first waterworks.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Coastal Rivers Full, Smith Best Bet for Salmon

By Kenny Priest

T

rying to decipher last week’s rain and river level predictions was not for the faint of heart. But when it was all said and done, all of the North Coast rivers got the flushing they desperately needed. Some rivers, especially to our south, went far beyond what was forecast and eventually hit flood stage. Coastal rivers from the Smith to the South Fork Eel mostly fell short of predictions, but are plum-full of water, nonetheless. Considering it’s still October, the future is looking bright.

As for fishing, the Smith was the only green river on the coast. The river opened to fishing Thursday but was on a steep rise for most of the day and night. Boats were on the water Friday but conditions weren’t great. By Saturday, the river had dropped and the fishing was much improved, with just about all the boats landing fish.

Looking toward the weekend, the Smith peaked Tuesday afternoon at 11.25 feet on the Jed Smith gauge. It’s predicted to be on a slow drop through the weekend and should be full of fresh kings.

The Chetco will likely draw a crowd this weekend, as the flows settle into the range of 2,000 cubic feet per second.

For current Smith River conditions, visit https://cdec.water.ca.gov/river/smithStages.html. For the Chetco, visit www.nwrfc. noaa.gov/river/station/flowplot/flowplot. cgi?lid=CHTO3.

Weather ahead According to Jonathan Garner of Eureka’s National Weather Service office, after the storms clear out Wednesday, the next chance at rain will be Friday. “There is a chance of rain Friday and Saturday, but the amounts are uncertain,” he said. “It will be more hit and miss and we probably won’t see widespread rainfall. We’ll definitely be heading into more of a drier pattern at least for the next seven days.”

ART BEAT

Reimagining The Paint Project Rebound puts murals on local basketball courts

By Collin Yeo

artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

L

ast month, during a week of the sort of mid-September sunshine that Humboldt County residents dream of, a bright and colorful attraction took form at the edge of Shay Park in Arcata. Specifically, in the basketball court next to the Twin Parks apartments, a dazzling mural crept over the halfcourt’s cement and up onto the boundary curbs like a technicolor hoop dream. Unusually bright colors created a palette that could live perfectly at home in the sunny world of Venice Beach in the 1990s, creating a vivid contrast with the autumning leaves and brooding evergreens of the nearby forest. The mural is the inaugural work of Project Rebound, created by local artist Benjamin Funke, who also serves as associate faculty at College of the Redwoods and tenured staff in Humboldt State University’s art department.

“Rebound was a project I had been wanting to execute for a long time. My personal artwork has drawn inspiration from professional sports. I have a penchant for extremely loud colors and bold design,” Funke says. “I loved the idea of taking our local courts that either fell into the ‘concrete gray’ color palette or ones in need of a little TLC, and hit them with some good design and bright colors.”

Funke also notes he drew inspiration from the reality of the pandemic, where indoor social restrictions and free time created a situation where he was spending a lot of time “walking outside, shooting hoops, thinking about art and life.”

The process from thought to execution started a year ago in the fall of 2020, when Funke applied for and was awarded a Funds for Artists’ Resilience Grant. “The FAR Grant really made the start of this project possible,” says Funke.

“It encouraged me to take the next step and become a DreamMaker with the Ink People Center for the Arts. Becoming a DreamMaker project established us as a 501c3 and allowed us access to liability insurance for events.”

Executive director of the Ink People Libby Maynard explains, “The FAR program was created in response to talks with Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild

Rivers Community Foundation staff, which provided the funding to create opportunities for artists to do public art projects in response to the pandemic. After receiving the award, Ben Funke decided to become a DreamMaker project to facilitate additional fundraising and to leverage our community relationships with the city of Arcata and others,” she says. “The DreamMaker Program supports over 100 self-directed projects created by people who want to make their community a better place through arts and culture. We offer administrative support, management and capacity building training.”

After becoming a Dreammaker, Funke had to sell his idea to the city and get approval for the site and the mural’s design.

“During one of my Zoom meetings with the parks and recreation committee, they voiced concern of the court designs being too busy, confusing or distracting for the players. I applied that feedback into this design, limiting the amount of abstraction to the lane and keeping the color palette as electrifying as possible,” he says. “Wanting to create visual movement on a 2D surface, I used repetition, asymmetry and variation mimicking two consecutive film stills side-by-side.”

By mid-summer of 2021, the design had been approved by the city — a bright palette of aqua, yellow and purple following the lines of the court and coming together in a riot of color in the key. Although the timeline from design to approval was long, Funke was positive about the experience, saying that the overall it was “great” and noting that there was a lot of enthusiasm from the city planners, which helped keep him encouraged throughout the negotiations.

One aspect of Project Rebound that sets it apart from other public art installments is the financial compensation paid to the artists involved. “The fact that everyone involved got paid for the day was really awesome,” says Trent Franks, one of the artists who collaborated with Funke on the design and execution of the mural.

“Artists are almost always undervalued — or not at all — for the hours they put into their work. So when we are offered

a paycheck to work on something we’re passionate about, it feels really rewarding.”

Maynard agrees. “The commitment to pay artists and assistants is one of the hallmarks of the best way to run art projects. I get so frustrated when people want artists to do things for ‘exposure.’ You can’t eat exposure and your landlord won’t accept it for rent,” she says. Artists, she notes, develop over years of practice and study, just like other professionals. Maynard doubts a doctor or lawyer would give their services in exchange for the same exposure artists are frequently offered. “This project and the manner in which it has been carried out are testament to the care, planning and professionalism of Ben Funke and his supporters. I feel we can be assured of the thoughtfulness and beauty of future projects.”

What does the future hold for Project Rebound? The curious need look no further than G Street in Arcata, on the low wall behind the company parking spots for Café Brio, where, between the deluge of

welcome October showers, a bright vision is taking shape. The piece in question, a leafy strip of blues and greens, is designed by artist Blake Reagan, and Funke hopes the weather will allow it to be completed

by Halloween.

Funke explains that, like the G Street location, Rebound isn’t bound to b-ball courts only. “What is great about Rebound is that it isn’t necessarily all about basketball. While ‘rebounding’ is a very important aspect to the game of basketball, the rebounding team gains possession of the ball and goes on offense; it applies more broadly in life,” he says. “So while we are looking into projects at other basketball courts around the county, we are also eyeballing slivers of walls, skateparks and baseball stadiums.”

Here’s hoping this incursion of color into the gray life of pandemic-era Arcata continues. ● Collin Yeo (he/him) is learning to enjoy this interregnum between “bad” and “worse.” He lives in Arcata.

ou found me!”

He did not look happy to have found me, which I thought was strange. He was looking for me, wasn’t he? Isn’t that why he was here, in the brushy highway median, with a shovel in one hand and a USB microphone in the other? Wasn’t searching for my body the point of his penultimate podcast episode “Finding Feronica,” to be followed by his final episode, “Further Findings?”

He definitely didn’t seem happy to hear me speak.

I haven’t listened to “Further Findings” yet. I just haven’t had time and, if I’m being honest, I really want to catch up on Radiolab first.

Maybe he wasn’t happy because I no longer look like I did in my high school yearbook photo, the one that was plastered all over local papers and that he rendered in sepia for the artwork for Carnage in Corkville, the No. 13 most popular Midwestern true crime podcast on Podland.com. My long, blonde hair had mostly fallen out and my eyes were, well, sunken.

I didn’t smell very good. My breasts were no longer displayed, as described in great detail in Episode No. 3 (“Staying Abreast of the Carnage”), “poking perkily from the form-hugging Corkville Cougars’ cheerleader uniform.” A great lover of alliteration, the podcast host.

No, I wasn’t as pretty as I’d been in high school. But then, who is when they’ve been dead for two years?

Still, you would think that after all the rabbit holes the host of Carnage in Corkville had gone down while “chronicling the cold criminality churning in the creeping charnel house of the Corn Belt,” he would be excited to actually find me, the Feronica, who had disappeared on the night of her junior prom in 2018, seemingly into thin air, “with only the low, rustling whisper of the corn fields to witness her exit from this world.” But, no, dude just fell backwards onto the seat of his khakis and scuttled backward like a crab, destroying any evidence that might have remained there.

Not that it matters, you know, because I can tell you who killed me, and it’s pretty disappointing. No, it wasn’t my stepfather.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

And thank you very much to the randos who kept calling him at the hardware store and harassing him after Episode No. 13, “Sins of the Stepdaddy,” aired, eventually causing him to lose his job. We were just starting to have a decent relationship before I died and now everything’s weird again. No, it wasn’t my high school “boyfriend,” who wasn’t actually my boyfriend, just a friend I went to the prom with because backward-ass Corkville High wouldn’t let him bring a same-sex date. Thanks for outing him a full year before he was ready, by the way, and getting him kicked out of his parents’ house. And I swear to God, if I find out which Carnage in Corkville “superfan” dug up my mom’s azalea bushes while she was at work last spring, I am going to find you and slap you across the face with what’s left of my hand. I don’t care what kind of “clues” Episode No. 45, “Beneath the Bushes?” might have “revealed.”

Adding a question mark doesn’t take away your culpability, asshole. Thanks for ruining gardening — the only thing that brought my mother any joy after I died.

No, like I told Mr. True Crime — and I seriously hope this is in “Further Findings,” but like I said, I haven’t listened to it — the man who picked me up wasn’t a serial killer, wasn’t the “Cornbelt Creeper,” an entirely fictional persona based on a data group the podcaster put together from a grab bag of other dead blondes disappeared or murdered in the tri-state area over the last 20 years. He was a friend’s dad, the same dude who got picked up by the Cornville Sheriff ’s deputies every

six months or so for beating up his wife or random women he met in bars. (I didn’t know this, or obviously, I wouldn’t have gotten in the car with him.) Maybe he would have killed again but who knows, because he wrapped his car around a tree three months after I died. Disappointing, right? No serial killer, no story.

But look, now I’m doing the same thing everyone else did, focusing on my death, like my murder is the most interesting thing going on. Like my mom always says, there are lots of other things to focus on besides what people are saying on the internet. Like my future. Did you know how hard it is to get your GED when you’re the undead? Or other people’s murders, the kinds that don’t make headlines. One thing about being a reanimated corpse and crime against nature and God, you find out who your friends are. Some people just aren’t ready to catch up now that I’m walking and talking again. Well, lurching and rasping, technically. Like Carnage in Corkville’s host and my stepfather, and the county sheriff. (Ep. No. 62, “Carnival of Corruption,” was a real doozy.)

But I have a whole legion of other people who have questions for me. Mostly friends and family of other people who have gone missing.

Did you know there actually is a serial killer sweeping through the Midwest, targeting prostitutes? At least 30 of them have disappeared and nobody’s talking about it. No blondes, I’m afraid, but it might make a decent sequel for our host once Carnage in Cornville wraps up. Maybe he’ll get lucky. Maybe he’ll find them, too. Or maybe they’ll find him first. ● Linda Stansberry (she/her) is a writer and journalist who lives in Eureka. You can find more of her work at www. lindastansberry.com.

For Little Monsters Trick-or-treating is on this year, with the CDC’s blessing. But we’re not out of the spooky woods yet.

Keep these COVID-safe practices in mind when taking the ghouls and boos out trick-or-treating: Have them wear masks in addition to their costume masks or incorporate their cloth masks into their costumes; go with family or those in your close social group; give wide berth to other trick-or-treaters; let homeownHalloween Fairy, Shoshanna, Submitted ers place candy in kids’ buckets rather than having kids reach in; use hand sanitizer where you see it; and have the kids hold off on ripping into their loot until they get home and can wash their paws and claws. Here’s where you can go for the goods.

In Old Town, Eureka, The Great Pumpkin Hunt replaces Eureka Main Street’s usual trick-or-treat. There’s still candy but with a scavenger-hunt twist. Every day from Oct. 29-31 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., kids 18 and under can pick up a participation form at Eureka Visitor Center (240 E St.), search out pumpkins in storefront windows and return the form to receive a treat bag.

Fortuna businesses are handing out candy during Trunk or Treat on Friday, Oct. 29 from 3 to 5 p.m. on Main Street. Mask up and head to friendly Henderson Center for Trick or Treat in Henderson Center on Saturday, Oct. 30 from noon to 2 p.m. Get Cujo a cookie and the kids a coloring book and candy while supplies last at Trunk or Treat for Kids & Pets on Saturday, Oct. 30, 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Sequoia Humane Society. Social distancing and masking are required for ages 2 and up. On the Arcata Plaza, it’s the Halloween Fairy’s Plaza Party with Shoshanna on Sunday, Oct. 31 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A safe and convenient way to trick-or-treat is simply pulling up in your car and receiving goodies! Swing by the Drive-By Trick-or-Treat on Sunday, Oct. 31 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Humboldt Grange Hall. Drive through costumed scenes, vote for your favorite at the end and receive a candy bag at the Drive-Through Trick-or-Treat on Sunday, Oct. 31 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at First Covenant Church Eureka. Have fun!

For Grown Ghouls

Hot Buttered Rum, Lech Naumovich

Same safety spiel goes for you adults, too. Many Halloween events are back on this year but keeping safe is paramount during a pandemic. Outdoor events are best but for any indoor haunts you choose this Halloween, be sure to follow all the COVID guidelines, whether that’s honoring an event’s vaccine mandate, keeping your mask on and worn correctly (keep that witch nose covered), social distancing or any number of communal courtesies we employ now. Have fun. And keep in mind, the spirits are watching you.

The Mateel Community Center is once again hosting its annual Halloween Masquerade Ball on Saturday, Oct. 30 starting at 7 p.m. ($30, $25 advance).

Boo-gie to music by Hot Buttered Rum, Twango and the Absynth Quartet.

There are costume contests, a full bar and Halloween treats for purchase. Take note: Proof of vaccinations or a negative COVID test within 24 hours of the event are required. COVID tests available at the event for a fee. Old Town, Eureka is the scene of Halloween Party 1: The Boozening, a pay-as-you-go “pub crawl,” happening Oct. 29-31 from 6 to 9 p.m. at participating bars and restaurants. They’ll be serving up Halloween-themed specials for the weekend, while you serve the looks — costumes are encouraged. The Humboldt Bay Social Club’s got a spooky thing going, too. It’s offering guided tours every 15 minutes through five outdoor stages with theater performances during Spooky Trails, Oct. 29-30 from 7 to 9 p.m. ($40, $30 advance). And if you’ve still got some shriek left in you by Halloween night, bring it to the SpookTacular Cabaret on Sunday, Oct. 31 from 7 to 9 p.m. located outside of Arcata Playhouse ($10-$15 sliding). It’s drag, comedy, theater and music. Debauchery galore. Get there a little early and grab a bite to eat at The Pub at the Creamery and witness horror characters around the grass from 4 to 6 p.m.

SCREENS

Favorite Spooky Movies that Still Have Bite

By Michael Logan

screens@northcoastjournal.com

H

alloween is just days away and if you’re like me, you’re wondering how you’ll pass the evening this year — ears tuned to the front door, bowl of semi-edible candy at the ready, childlike hopes that finally this year more than four children will venture into the dystopian no-man’s-land that lies beyond Lundbar Hills.

As you calculate the bare minimum of Reese’s that decency demands you leave unconsumed, you might say to yourself, or to your partner, or to that persistent shadow that lurks in the corner and defies all reason, “Let’s watch something.”

But what? There are only so many times you can watch Hocus Pocus this month and let’s face it, you’ve probably already hit that wall.

Fortunately for you, I’ve got you covered. I may not have a fancy malevolent entity manifesting in the corner but I do have some cracking good flickers to recommend, just right for All Hallow’s Eve. All are available to stream for a nominal fee or available on disc from your local public library.

If you’re over handsome, guilt-ridden vampires that brood and/or (shudder) sparkle in sunlight, dial it back a century, to when they were the stuff of freaking nightmares. F.W. Murnau’s silent classic Nosferatu (1922) still has the mojo and actor (?) Max Schreck’s bald, rat-incisored Count Orlock — the original Slender Man — is the personification of the global plague still recent in moviegoer’s memories. Later, as you lie sleepless in bed, you’ll have time to marvel at the fact you’re terrified by images filmed exactly 100 years ago, during the fall of 1921.

If you have time for a double feature, it pairs nicely with either Werner Herzog’s 1979 remake Nosferatu the Vampyre, which manages to retain or surpass the original’s creep factor, or 2000’s clever Shadow of the Vampire. Shadow depicts the making of the 1922 classic, in which director Murnau, to achieve maximum realism, has employed a real vampire. But what do you pay a star who has no use for money?

Halloween and haunted houses go

26

together like candy corn and garbage cans, and the gold standard is The Haunting (1963), director Robert Wise’s adaptation of the classic Shirley Jackson novel, The Haunting of Hill House. Unlike the 1999 remake abomination, this version is mercifully free of CGI, decapitations and director Jan de Bont. Instead, it relies on masterful cinematography, unsettling sound effects and faithfulness to Jackson’s truly creepy story.

A slightly more recent haunted offering is the under-appreciated The Changeling (1980), starring George C. Scott as a grieving composer who rents a vacant Seattle mansion. Along with utilities and garbage, the suspiciously reasonable rent includes a decades-old murder mystery and a sad but none-too-friendly ghost.

Before you can say “Oh, hell no,” innocent red rubber balls will send the hair up on the back of your neck.

Living here in the Pacific Northwest — the heart of Bigfoot Country — is something 9-year-old me swore would never happen. And really, the source of that childhood terror was The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972), a docudrama about the Fouke Monster, a Bigfoot-like creature prowling the swamps of southern Arkansas. Made on a shoestring budget

by Arkansas’ low-budget maverick filmmaker Charles B. Pierce, it’s an odd but compelling hybrid — part documentary (many Fouke locals play themselves) and part drive-in exploitation horror flick. And even part musical, if you count the two songs (!) that pop up midway through.

Younger folks might find it too tame or hokey, but for Sasquatch-fearing GenXers like me, it still gets the job done.

If Boggy and The Blair Witch had an unholy, curiously hairy baby, it would be Willow Creek (2013), director Bobcat Goldthwait’s found-footage Bigfoot flick, filmed right here in Humboldt County.

Like its Boggy predecessor, Willow Creek uses locals to great effect — look for Bigfoot Books’ and Bluff Creek Project’s Steven Streufert and Tom Yamarone’s surprisingly catchy tune “Roger and Bob (Rode Out That Day),” which is a far more

Nosferatu

welcome earworm than Legend’s “Hey, Travis Crabtree.” This hirsute double feature is best enjoyed post-camping season.

Want something a little lighter? Try the completely batshit Bubba Ho-Tep (2002).

Elderly Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) and John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis) — not dead, long story — are living their sad final days in a run-down Texas nursing home. They team up to fight for the souls of their fellow residents, battling an ancient, cowboy hat- and boots-wearing Egyptian mummy. This deliciously weird, sad, hilarious horror-comedy should have been terrible. But instead it’s brilliant.

So, turn out the lights, cuddle up on the couch with your S.O. or your fur babies or that nameless horror in the corner that bleeds madness (Jesus, what is that thing?), and remember the tagline from 1972’s The Last House on the Left: “To avoid fainting, keep repeating: ‘It’s only a movie, only a movie, only a movie …’” ● Michael Logan (he/him) is a librarian by day and the author of the nonexistent reference work One Thousand Years of Cinema (Volume 1).

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries philosopher Emil Cioran wrote, “When I meet friends or people I know who are going through a difficult period, I usually have this advice for them: ‘Spend 20 minutes in a cemetery, and you’ll see that, though your worry won’t disappear, you’ll almost forget about it and you’ll feel better.’” I don’t think you’re weathering a terribly difficult phase right now, Aries, but you may be dealing with more riddles and doubts and perplexities than you’re comfortable with. You could be feeling a bit darker and heavier than usual. And I think Cioran’s advice would provide you with the proper stimulation to transform your riddles and doubts and perplexities into clarity and grace and aplomb. If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here’s a costume suggestion: the spirit of a dead ancestor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to some spiritual teachers, desire interferes with our quest for illumination. It diverts us from what’s real and important. I know gurus who even go so far as to say that our yearnings deprive us of freedom; they entrap us and diminish us. I strongly disagree with all those ideas. I regard my longing as a primary fuel that energizes my drive to free myself from pain and nonsense. How about you, Taurus? In alignment with astrological omens, I authorize you to deepen and refine and celebrate the yearning in your heart.

Your title/nickname could be: 1. Yearning Champion. 2. Desire Virtuoso. 3. Connoisseur of Longing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Jessamyn West confessed, “I am always jumping into the sausage grinder and deciding, even before I’m half ground, that I don’t want to be a sausage after all.” I offer her testimony as a cautionary tale, Gemini. There’s no astrological reason, no cosmic necessity, that decrees you must become like a sausage anytime soon. Such a fate can be easily avoided. All you must do is commit yourself to not jumping into the sausage grinder. Also: In every way you can imagine, don’t be like a sausage. (To meditate on sausage-ness, read the Wikipedia entry: tinyurl.com/SausageMetaphor) CANCER (June 21-July 22): Our fellow Cancerian, author Franz Kafka, told us, “It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.” And yes, some of us Crabs go through phases when we crave safety so much that we tolerate, even welcome, being in chains. But the fact is that you’re far more likely to be safe if you are free, not in chains. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, that’s extra true for you now. If you can celebrate Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here are costume suggestions: runaway prisoner, escape artist, freedom fighter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some of us yearn for allies who can act like saviors: rescue us from our demons and free us from our burdensome pasts and transform us into the beauties we want to become. On the other hand, some of us do all this hard work by ourselves: rescue ourselves from our demons and free ourselves from our burdensome pasts and transform ourselves into the beauties we want to become. I highly recommend the latter approach for you in the coming weeks, Leo. If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here is a costume suggestion: your own personal savior.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “One of the reasons people are so unhappy is they don’t talk to themselves,” says author Elizabeth Gilbert. “You have to keep a conversation going with yourself throughout your life,” she continues, “to see how you’re doing, to keep your focus, to remain your own friend.” Now is a favorable time to try such an experiment, Virgo. And if you already have skill in the art of carrying on a vibrant dialog with yourself, now is a perfect moment to upgrade and refine it. Try this experiment: Imagine having a conversation with the Future You. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “In the absence of willpower, the

most complete collection of virtues and talents is worthless.”

Libran occultist Aleister Crowley wrote that, and I agree. But let’s phrase his idea more positively: To make full use of your virtues and talents, you must develop a strong willpower. And here’s the good news, Libra: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to cultivate your willpower, along with the assets that bolster it, like discipline, self-control, and concentration.

If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here are accessories I recommend for you to carry with you, no matter what your costume is: a wand, a symbolic lightning bolt, an ankh, an arrow, a Shiva lingam stone or crystal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mardi Gras is a boisterous festival that happens every February all over the planet. One hotspot is New Orleans. The streets there are filled with costumed revelers who enjoy acting in ways that diverge from their customary behavior. If you want to ride on a float in the parade that snakes down Royal Street, you must, by law, wear a festive mask. I invite all of you Scorpios to engage in similar festivities for the next three weeks—even if you’re not doing much socializing or partying. It’s a favorable time to experiment with a variety of alternate identities. Would you consider adopting a different persona or two? How could you have fun playing around with your self-image?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Jungian psychotherapist and storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estés reminds us, “In fairy tales, tears change people, remind them of what is important, and save their very souls.” I hope you’re open to the possibility of crying epic, cathartic, catalytic tears in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. According to my analysis, you have a prime opportunity to benefit from therapeutic weeping. It could chase your fears and cure your angst and revivify your soul. So please take advantage of this gift from life. Be like a superhero whose superpower is to generate healing by crying.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Filmmaker Wim Wenders said, “Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.” I’ll expand upon that: “Any experience, situation, influence, or person that supports the idea that things can be changed is great.” This is a useful and potentially inspiring theme for you to work with right now, Capricorn. In accordance with astrological rhythms, I hope you will be a connoisseur and instigator of beneficial, beautiful transformations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fitness buff Jack LaLanne was still doing his daily workout when he was 95. He was also famous for performing arduous feats. At age 65, for example, he swam a mile through Japan’s Lake Ashinoko while towing 65 boats filled with 6,500 pounds of wood pulp. I think you’re currently capable of a metaphorically comparable effort, Aquarius. One way to do it is by mastering a psychological challenge that has previously seemed overwhelming. So meditate on where your extra strength would be best directed, and use it wisely!

If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here are costume suggestions: fitness buff, bodybuilder, marathon runner, yoga master.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When birdwatchers describe a bird, they speak of its “jizz.” This term refers to the distinctive character of its habitual movements, flying style, posture, vocal mannerisms, and coloring. One aficionado defines jizz as the bird’s “indefinable quality,” or the “vibe it gives off.” I’ve got a theory that right now you’re as bird-like as you’ve ever been.

You seem lighter and freer than usual, less bound to gravity and solemnity, and more likely to break into song. Your fears are subsiding because you have the confidence to leave any situation that’s weighing you down. If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here’s a costume suggestion: the bird that has your favorite kind of jizz.

Homework: Tell me why you’re such a gorgeous creature. https://Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com

SANDERS by kt, Humboldt County Clerk 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11 (21−385)

Philip Michael Arnot was born on March 10, 1937, in Los Angeles California to Maynard “Jocko” and Lucille Arnot. He lived in Glendale until 1944 when his parents moved Phil and his older brother James D. Arnot to Eureka. Jocko wanted the family to experience living on a farm like he had growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1947, the family purchased a small 9-acre farm with a horse, a cow, pigs, and rabbits in the Freshwater basin. After two years, the family moved back to Eureka where Phil lived until he graduated from Eureka High School in 1954. Phil attended Humboldt State College in 1955 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1958. Phil graduated from Lincoln Law School in San Francisco in 1963 and was admitted to the California state bar in 1964.

Phil and Sally were married in 1957. They returned to Eureka in 1964 where Philip worked for Humboldt Land Title Company for two years. He went into private practice for Fred Hilger in 1966.

Phil and Sally had their first child, Michael in 1964, and their second child Stephen in 1966. Michael is a chiropractor in Portland, Oregon. Steve is a lawyer for the Federal Department of Justice in Portland, Oregon.

Phil was a skilled bankruptcy practitioner and personal injury litigator. In 1985, Phil and Rory Hanson tried the case of Baker v. PG&E and obtained a jury verdict of 2.1 million, the largest verdict at that time in a personal injury case. Phil’s 50 year legal career is credited with numerous published decisions in landmark bankruptcy cases.

Those decisions have been the basis for numerous appellate court opinions.

Phil was active in local and state politics. During Ronald Reagan’s campaign for Governor, Phil was the campaigns representative on the north coast and hosted Reagan while he campaigned in Humboldt County. A memorable experience. Phil was also the Humboldt County chair for governor George Deukmejian for two terms. In his later years, Phil spent a decade providing community comments on KINS radio. I can still hear him now, “this is Phil Arnot signing off for community comment” Phil and Sally celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary in Portland Oregon in 2021 with their family following a recent move to Lake Oswego to be closer to Michael and Stephen. It was quite an event.

Philip’s wife of 64 years recently passed away in September at the age of 82.

Heartbroken, he followed her by passing a month later. Phil is survived by his two sons Michael and Stephen, Stephen’s wife Andrea, and 5 grandchildren, Eloise, Sam, Camille, Nicholas, and Alexis. He also leaves behind his brother-in-laws Chris and Rick Watson. He additionally leaves behind on his brother James Arnot’s side of the family, Sharon his sister-in-law, nieces Michelle and Sheri-Lynn, nephews Joe, David, Randy, and Rodney and Janet Arnot’s children, Philip, James and Jeanette.

Phil passed away on October 18, 2021. He was a wonderful man, a loving husband and father, and good friend to many and an exemplary community member to the Eureka and Humboldt Bay area. He will be missed. A service will be held at Ocean View Sunrise Memorial Park at 2 pm on October 29, 2021.
