Founded in 2021, in the aftermath of pandemic lockdowns, Arcane Artists Director Joey Constini set out to create a home for creatives across Humboldt County. “What I saw in…

Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Sports, StudentsBy Marielle Winuk Over the hills and through the fairways of the Beau Prey golf course, the Lumberjacks raced in their home opener cross country meet on Sept. 12.

Fall welcomes extra feathered friends
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, StudentsBy Sadie Shields As summer fades into fall, locals around Arcata and Eureka can spot a variety of local birds flying through the area. From shorebirds along Humboldt Bay, to birds in the marshes and the Community Forest, September offers a great time to get outside to look and learn about the local bird life. Birds are everywhere, they fly around, migrate, and only come out at certain times of the day. They are a vital part of the environment. Humboldt Bay provides an important rest stop for birds traveling through the Pacific Flyway, a major migration path that stretches…

What is an El Niño and how can we stay safe?
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Science, StudentsBy Sadie Shields El Niño may mean little boy, but it’s anything but a tiny weather occurrence. El Niño occurs when the temperature of the pacific ocean becomes warmer than average, adding more precipitation into the air creating larger storms. El Niño can happen year round but it’s more noticeable in the later seasons. While Humboldt County is known for rain, these storms are quite strong and create safety concerns, especially since we live so close to the coast. Safety is one of the most important aspects people should consider before and when the storms do hit. Being prepared can…

Free-Diving Feats Meet Survival Needs in Humboldt
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Science, StudentsBy Ariana Wilson If you look closely, you may see bubbles underneath the dark, murky water in the Jetty. Chances are, they belong to members of the small but mighty free-diving and spearfishing community off our North Coast. Jiovanni Flores, senior wildlife major with an emphasis in fisheries, ecology and scientific diving, was inspired by the scientific diving program. Humboldt equips students with every skill needed to go from never dipping a toe in the ocean to identifying species on a transect. Flores’ understanding of the ocean and its ecosystem has propelled him toward becoming a California Department of Fish…

Bird Nerd: A starting guide
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Science, StudentsBy Sadie Shields Whether you’re walking through the Arcata forest with its lush trees and greenery, or surfing in the bay, you may hear or notice a feathered friend moving by you. Birds come in many shapes, colors and sizes, and here in Humboldt County, we get a lot more species than your typical city environment. For many birders, the interest begins long before they pick up a field guide or scope. “I’ve always been proud to identify whales and red-tailed hawks when I was younger. There was one time a red-tailed hawk flew over and I’m like ‘that’s a…

Taxidermy is a dying art kept alive inside the walls of Cal Poly Humboldt
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, life and arts, Science, StudentsBy Julia Kelm While the sight of an animal carcass might make some people queasy, for Wildlife Museum Curator Anna E. Goldman, it is an area of fascination. “I’ve always been interested in dead things,” Goldman said as she ripped the skin from the body of a recently thawed squirrel for a taxidermy demonstration. “In 3rd grade, for show and tell, I brought in a severed deer leg that still had fur on it. I was really excited, and then the principal called my mom… they thought I was a serial killer.” This love of death led Goldman to an…
