Josh Pearlston shows up for his family court hearing, looks nothing like facebook photo
Visiting Judge Leonard LaCasse was in Courtroom 6 today.
Josh Pearlston was there with his father Mel Pearlston and attorney Rory Hanson. With a long beard, dressed in slacks and a windjacket, thinner than he was in the facebook photo, he looked relaxed and carefree as he chatted with his father and attorney in the hallway.
Stephanie Pearlston with her attorney, Mr. Michael Robinson.
At 9 a.m. when the case was called, Mr. Hanson said, "I believe we have a resolution."
It is 9:30 and still waiting to see if the deal is sealed today. No other media is present.
9:32: Stephanie Pearlston just came out of a conference room, the attorneys are talking. Josh Pearlston and Stephanie Pearlston did not talk or look at each other directly.
At one point outside the courtroom, I was standing with all parties and the attorneys.
A resolution on all issues was reached and the Judge signed a stipulation order and dissolution of marriage order this morning.
Stephanie Pearlston also got a court order to reinstate her maiden name.
This was continued from September 20 when the parties had a tentative solution but did not resolve last minute in court. Josh Pearlston was not at that hearing.

Online petition against Dylan Wilson asks DA to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law; remove him from the community as long as possible and calls out public safety relalignment
An intervention was scheduled this afternoon at 3 p.m. for Dylan Wilson , the man who allegedly assaulted a 12 year old at Arcata Elementary last month. His preliminary hearing is currently scheduled for October 4.
A petition is being circulated on facebook and online by members of the community and has been delivered to DA Maggie Fleming.
DA Maggie Fleming confirmed receipt of the petition.
I will update this post if there is any change after intervention.
Excerpt from the petition:
"we demand, under the threat of recall, that Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming prosecute Dylan Jackson Wilson to the full extent of the law so that he is: 1) removed from the community as long as possible; 2) upon his release he is registered as a Sex Offender; and 3) he is not allowed to live within 2,000 feet of our schools. We are sadly aware that, due to the mandates of Public Safety Realignment and county jail housing capacity management logistics, and the lack of adequately-funded sexual predator correctional institutional facilities, Dylan Jackson Wilson is likely to be released in the near future in an unrehabilitated, untreated state. We must be allowed to monitor his whereabouts for the continued protection of all children in our community."

In his recent case, he is charged with two felonies. Count 1 Forcible Lewd Act Upon a Child and Count 2 Assault with intent to commit a felony on a victim under 18; " intent to commit rape, sodomy and oral copulation" is alleged in the complaint.
A petition is being circulated on facebook and online by members of the community and has been delivered to DA Maggie Fleming.

"John,
I have received the petition and appreciate the public taking the time to express their concerns.
I can assure the community we are taking this case very seriously."
I will update this post if there is any change after intervention.

What is the agenda of certain locals, including HUMMAP, trying to put roadblocks for those in the cannabis industry trying to get legal?
Seems to me that HUMMAP has its own agenda in putting roadblocks for those trying to get out of the black market in the cannabis industry. I attended the meetings for the commercial cannabis ordinance and so did HUMMAP's Woods and board meeting regular Kent Sawatsky. Read the previous posts to see why Sawatsky's involvement is relevant.
I took detailed notes. I am no expert on cannabis or land use or building and planning but even I understood the most basic concepts.
No new grows --end date applications at the end of the year--December 31 2016, specifically.
Prime ag soil only for new grows.
End of the year date was to bring under baseline for mitigated negative declaration
I am not against all landowners or developers, some are good, some are questionable, just cannabis growers or any other profession. Right now the people complaining about this ordinance just seem to be people not getting their way.
Staff went over Planning Department recommendations with County Counsel.
