After The Storm
King Salmon residents face long-term recovery after severe flooding
By Griffin Mancuso newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
King Salmon’s streets have mostly returned to their former appearance, before the record-breaking flood in the early days of the new year, with residents gradually reentering their homes and ruined appliances no longer lining the street. While most of the physical evidence is gone, a collective anxiety still spikes among residents any time the tide rises.
“We’ve come out of what we call the muck and gut period, which is a really lovely technical term,” Humboldt Community Organizations Active in Disaster Executive Director Nick Bown-Crawford says. “And people have been airing out their homes with dehumidifiers and fans, and demo-ing floors, walls. So a lot of folks are getting estimates for bids and repairs on their properties, and stuff like that.”
The canal community experienced another King Tide at the end of January and the start of February. Bown-Crawford and Laurie Richmond, faculty lead of the county of Humboldt-Cal Poly Humboldt project called Fields Landing and King Salmon Living with Water, recall watching everyone stand-
ing outside, tension thick in the air as water once again encroached onto the street.
That tide did not rise as high as predicted, but residents are still facing monumental repairs before they can return to normal life before the historic flooding that began Jan. 3 — and prepare for future ones.
“For a lot of people, this will be a financially pretty devastating event and emotionally as well,” Richmond says. “Every time there’s a big tide, folks will think about it.”
The Aftermath of a Record-Breaking Flood
King Salmon residents Linda and James Carter are in the process of rebuilding while relocating from the place they’ve called home for 15 years. They were able to get a free 30-day stay in an Airbnb on Humboldt Hill with the help of Humboldt COAD, but Linda Carter is currently staying with a friend in Rohnert Park because the unit is not pet-friendly. Her husband, meanwhile, is commuting from Humboldt Hill to work on the house. Thanks to their flood insurance, Continued on page 6 »

It Takes a Community to Build a Community.
Humboldt Commons, a project of Life Plan Humboldt, is becoming a reality thanks the generosity of supporters who believe in a new kind of nonprofit senior living on the North Coast.
they only have to pay a $1,000 deductible, but Linda Carter estimates they won’t be able to live in their house for another three to four months.
“Where do we start? We have to replace all our kitchen cabinets, the lower cabinets. We have to replace five appliances. We have to get the floor releveled,” she says. “Our contractor, his workers have ripped out all of our flooring, so we’re down to subfloors … it’s a long, long list of what we need to do.”
Linda Carter says the couple appreciates the support they’ve received from Humboldt COAD and the FLKS project but feels the county has not done enough. She says she also found it insulting that Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal did not believe the situation warranted a state of emergency. The sewage backup in homes alone was enough of a health hazard that the county should have been more involved, she says.
“We pay taxes the same as the people up in Humboldt Hill or anywhere else in Eureka, and I’m pretty sure that if their sewers were backing up and flooding their houses, they would be pretty damn upset and they would consider it a health issue,” Linda Carter says. “But for us in King Salmon, because we’re a low-income area, [it’s] not considered a health issue.”
For FLKS Living with Water, a major part of the long-term stage of recovery has been building trust with the community and keeping them informed about resources and the causes of flooding and high tides.
Part of the project’s goal, according to its website, is to “identify near-term, feasible strategies to reduce current flood risk while also identifying longer term planning objectives and adaptation strategies to address future” sea-level rise.
For the last year and half, Richmond, along with student researchers and community liaisons on the project, have been connecting with residents of these low-lying bayside neighborhoods through surveys, workshops and now, helping to provide aid.
She says residents seemed pleasantly surprised at her team’s presence in the area at the initial flooding. They continue to regularly check in and provide “disaster doughnuts.”
“I feel like residents of King Salmon take it as a matter of faith that they’re left behind or not thought about,” Richmond says. “So in some ways, I don’t know even if it occurs to them to call for assistance or to ask for it.”
The number of homes that experienced severe flood damage is now placed at 42, with one to three properties being con-
sidered or confirmed for demolition. Nine people have been relocated to temporary housing through Airbnb, which has a fund for emergency housing.
Exact ranges for financial costs of the flood are still being finalized, but Bown-Crawford places total structural damage costs at well more than $700,000 and total appliance costs around $50,000. He says it would not be surprising if those estimates increase throughout the repair process.
Humboldt COAD’s fund for King Salmon currently has $3,000 in donations through its website and $5,000 from the Humboldt Area Foundation. As of press time, no federal grants have been provided and the county has not directly contributed to the recovery process.
“We’re still out there doing this on our own and with the support of our community,” Bown-Crawford said. “So I think we’re in a really good place to keep that motion going. We’re going to just need continued support from the community.”
U.S. Small Business Administration Loans
Although neither the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors nor the county Office of Emergency Services proclaimed a local disaster, outreach by Humboldt COAD resulted in the U.S. Small Business Administration declaring one on Feb. 5. That opened a window for businesses, nonprofits and residents who experienced property
damage or financial losses due to storm activity or flooding in the county between Dec. 31 and Jan. 5 to apply for low-interest federal loans.
Applications for physical damage claims must be submitted before April 6, and the economic injury deadline is Nov. 3. Applicants can talk with SBA representatives at the Humboldt Grange on weekdays, apply online or by phone, and no documents are required up front. The disaster loan center at the grange will be open until March 10. About a week after the declaration, SBA spokesperson Danielle Haywood joined Bown-Crawford to speak at the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting about the agency’s program.
More than 30 disaster loan applications have been submitted under the flood and storm declaration, while at least three businesses have applied for economic injury due to loss of sales.
“Even if your business had to be closed for seven days during that storm, that’s seven days that you had no income coming in,” Haywood says. “If you didn’t have the physical damage, you have the economic damage, and you can apply to be able to cover your expenses like your rent and utilities and your payroll and not have to lay someone off so that you can pay your rent.”
Deductibles through most insurance for flood damage claims can range from $8,000 to $25,000 each, according to Bown-Crawford. Mitigation costs are also widely variable — raising a home can cost anywhere from $30,000 to more than $100,000. How-

ever, SBA loans can be applied for alongside submitted insurance claims.
“We’ll work with insurance to find out what’s getting paid out and we can produce the money faster and then the insurance check comes to us,” Haywood said. “So it can be a much faster process. Sometimes insurance isn’t quick. A lot of times insurance isn’t quick.”
During the Feb. 10 meeting, Haywood highlighted that SBA loans have a 12-month grace period with no payments or interest required, and the loan amount has permanently fixed interest. Applying for mitigation costs, such as raising a foundation, can increase the loan amount by 20 percent of their physical damage costs. Physical damage can qualify even if it is not directly from flooding but occurred during the storms from that period.
“Even if you just have questions, if you’re not sure if your damage qualifies or not, come out here and ask,” Haywood said. “We’re really big about working to find the ‘yes.’ So even if someone’s initially told no, ‘OK, what can we do to overcome the reason that you didn’t make it through?’”
During the meeting, First District Supervisor Rex Bohn, who was proposing the county create a loan program for King Salmon residents, said he was not previously aware of SBA’s loan options and the wide range of damage that qualifies.
He also expressed concerns about the limitations of long-term support for the community.
“At the end of the day, there’s only a few things that are going to help King Salmon,” Bohn said. “That’s build a dike around the whole thing — which we can’t do. Pay to raise everybody’s houses, or, in the long run, if this comes to fruition and everything else, buy [out] everybody and let them relocate. But nobody wants to do that, nor would I propose that.”
Future Plans for Recovery and Mitigation
With the county recently experiencing several disasters that require long-term recovery, Bown-Crawford says he hopes a more defined plan will be laid out for local organizations on the front lines — and how the county can support them outside of financial means.
“I think we just don’t have the systems developed for recovery,” Bown-Crawford says. “Following the Rio Dell earthquake in 2022, that was the first time that the county started venturing out to create a recovery annex to the county’s plan for emergencies, so the conversation of recovery is still very new regionally.”
In the case of King Salmon, Bown-Crawford says he has been deliberating about
ways to “hyper-localize” information streams for residents, and how to best cater outreach and support to what they need. Richmond also notes limited internet and cell service can be a barrier to getting the word out. Bown-Crawford and Richmond are both working on plans for food distributions through the nearby Humboldt Grange in collaboration with Food for People, or creating a mobile pantry for the area. At the end of March, the grange will host a spaghetti dinner with presentations from representatives of the National Weather
Service and FLKS Living with Water. The project will also be presenting a complete vulnerability assessment at a community workshop in April.
Richmond says she hopes to see a stronger relationship between King Salmon and local agencies emerge through the long road ahead, but has already seen residents growing closer as a whole. The current goal for FLKS Living with Water and Humboldt COAD is to create a recovery and prevention plan that residents have a say in, allowing it to best serve their unique community.
“I also have been really moved by the resilience of folks and seeing community being built through this in King Salmon, of folks helping out, lending tools to each other,” Richmond says. “A little bit of a wall is coming down, and so that’s been really beautiful to see, and new avenues of connection being built with different agencies.” l

‘A
Huge Moment’
First pair of prey-go-neesh in a century are nesting on the North Coast
By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com
Cue the California condor chick watch.
The Yurok Tribe announced this week that the two oldest members of the North Coast flock have made it official, setting up a nesting spot in a remote area of an old growth forest.
Known to the tribe as prey-go-neesh, the endangered birds usually mate for life, unless one dies or they are unable to produce young, with the avian parents sharing the care of their blue-hued egg and rearing the chick.
The pair and two others were released four years ago as part of the Yurok-led Northern California Condor Restoration Program, a partnership with Redwood National and State Park, becoming the first condors to fly over the region in more than a century.
But the big unanswered question is whether A0, also known as “Ney-gem’ ‘Ne-chween-kah,” which means “She carries our prayers,” and A1, called “Hlow Hoo-let,” which means “At last I (or we) fly,” have produced an additional milestone for the fledgling reintroduction effort now numbering 24 birds.
While no one has yet to get a peek of the nesting site due to the location, signs — including “a series of behavioral changes and an analysis of flight data” — appear to indicate the two “may have started tending to a newly laid egg in early February,” according to the tribe.
“This is a huge moment for our Northern California flock,” NCCRP Program Manager and Yurok Wildlife Department Senior Biologist Chris West said in the announcement. “It is important to remember that these are wild birds. We trap them occasionally for health monitoring, but if they nest, and how successful they are, is totally up to them, with as little interference from us as possible.”
If A0 has laid an egg — which the tribe says would have been done “within a cavity of an old-growth redwood” selected as a
site “after months of searching for the ideal location” — and the timeline is correct, then the two are about halfway through the 55- to 58-day incubation period.
Even if that’s the case, the tribe says, there are no guarantees this first try will be a success. In the wild, the announcement notes, “the initial egg produced by a breeding pair of condors frequently exhibits low survival, due to the adults’ lack of experience with the incubation and care process.”
Still, the NCCRP is “thrilled at the development” — and the wait is on to find out if the North Coast will soon see the first fluttering of tiny prey-go-neesh wings in generations.
“I have been waiting for this moment since the first condors arrived in 2022,” Yurok Wildlife Department Director Tiana Williams-Claussen says in the announcement. “As a scientist, I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high, but that doesn’t mean I can’t cheer for these young parents’ success.”
According to the tribe, NCCRP staff are closely watching information coming in from the pair’s transmitters and observations being made out in the field.
“Changes in the adult condors’ rates and timing of feeding can be used to determine how the nest is doing, hatching of a chick and various stages of the chick’s development,” the announcement says. “The NCCRP is also currently working through the logistics for potential use of an unmanned aerial vehicle or drone for visual confirmation of the nest.”
Some regular watchers of the Yurok Tribe’s condor cam, which gives a 24-hour view of the protected release site where the birds regularly return from ventures
to feed on carrion set out by the NCCRP team, noted the pair had been absent more than usual, leading to speculation a major development might be in the works before the announcement.
The first indications of a shift in dynamics actually began last year when A1 — along with the other two older male members A2 and A3 — began displaying what’s known as the condor courtship dance, partially spreading out their wings with their head down before a female, often rocking back and forth.
But, Williams-Claussen said in an interview that March, there were no other signs that those initial overtures moved forward into something more serious — until now.
Late bloomers in the avian world, condors — which can live until around 50 — don’t reach sexual maturity for six to seven years. A0 and A1 are both 6 years and 10 months.
Often at new release sites like the North Coast program, mating can take a little longer to catch on with no adults around to provide context, West previously told the Journal , until a couple figures out the logistics — as A0 and A1 seem to have done — with the others then following suit.
The next oldest male in the group is A2 at 5 years and 11 months while the next oldest female is A7 at 4 years and 8 months. News of the pairing marks a bright spot
for the program, which recently lost two birds. B7, the youngest member, died in January of 2025 from lead poisoning just three months after being released into Yurok ancestral lands.
Almost exactly a year later, B8 was discovered in a remote part of the Bald Hills area. The cause of death for the nearly 3-year-old male has not been released.
Known as nature’s cleanup crew, the apex scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by clearing large carcasses from the landscape, helping prevent the spread of disease, but that also makes them vulnerable.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, half of all condor deaths in the wild are caused by the birds feeding on carrion contaminated with lead ammunition fragments.
Along with human-made dangers, powerlines being another, the birds’ aforementioned biological clock also presents a barrier to their ability to rebound. Not only slow to mature, condors are also, as the tribe notes, slow to procreate, usually producing only one egg every two years.
Most chicks, which don’t fly for months, spend more than a year with their parents learning what it means to be a condor, including how to navigate the terrain and live in a highly social but hierarchical flock.

While still teetering on the edge of extinction, reintroduction efforts have made great strides for the species. Back in 1982, only 22 wild condors remained in a small pocket of mountainous area in Southern California. Five years later, the last of them were placed into captive breeding programs in a race against time to save the largest bird in North America.
Over the ensuing decades, those numbers have slowly been expanding. As of December of 2025, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports there are nearly 400 birds flying free at release sites operating in California — including Big Sur and Pinnacles — as well as Arizona and Baja California, Mexico.
The North Coast effort is the newest to join the fold following nearly two decades of painstaking work by the Yurok Tribe’s wildlife department after a group of elders identified the condor as the first and most important terrestrial species to bring back to their ancestral lands.
As in many Indigenous cultures, the condor is sacred in Yurok tradition. Believed to be among the Earth’s first creatures and the one that carries their prayers to the Creator, prey-go-neesh also joins in the tribe’s World Renewal ceremonies to bring balance back to the world through the gift of feathers, which are used in dancers’ regalia.
Before the first birds in the NCCRP program were released in 2022, the last spotting in the region was around the turn of the 20th century after settlers decimated the local population.
The hope is the Humboldt County release site — the first located in the northern reaches of the condors’ former range, which once stretched to the Canadian border and east to Utah, Montana and Colorado — will act as a gateway for the birds to spread their wings out into the Pacific Northwest.
For now, the program plans to release at least one new cohort of birds every summer over the course of two decades.
Ultimately, the goal of the recovery effort is to allow the condor to build up self-sustaining populations that no longer need to have their numbers boosted by breeding programs and to reach the status West has described as “birds without tags,” living their lives without human intervention.
With the possible impending arrival of the first wild chick born on the North Coast in more than 130 years, one that would be raised by free-flying parents to soar along the Klamath River, ride thermals across the landscape and spiral upward into the heavens, carrying on its wings the prayers of a people who brought prey-go-neesh home, that goal is coming closer. l

Black Joy and Culture at the Black Heritage Ball
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill
Photos by Aoife Moloney jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
In a black headwrap, tambourine in hand, Paula Jones addressed the audience of 145 gathered around tables in the Wharfinger Building Saturday night for the Black Heritage Ball. Heritage, she said, “means the inheritance of who we are and the value of our culture,” a culture, she noted, that has permeated American life “since we got here.”
As Jones eased into “Autumn Leaves,” attendees at Black Humboldt’s gala event sat rapt and swayed to the song. The evening also featured performances by the youth and adult Harambe Jazz Ensemble, who brought the sound of New Orleans horns, B. Writes’ original vocals and traditional drumheavy Soul Tree, which brought dancers to the floor.
Meanwhile, chef Jason Mitchell’s Jerk Kitchen served up chafing dishes brimming with Jamaican oxtail stew, brown chicken stew, shrimp curry, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, rice and peas, and vegetarian
curry for the crowds. Dessert followed, with offerings from Black Humboldt volunteers, including Paige Dior Hanzy’s homemade banana pudding. (It was fuel enough to give kids playing on the deck outside a second wind.)
Adhering to the dress code “to impress, with a fit inspired by what Black Heritage means to you,” attendees’ evening wear ranged from gowns and bowties to hip hop inflected streetwear and dresses in traditional African fabrics. These were shown to advantage in a playful fashion walk down the center aisle, where kids and adults alike strutted and laughed with Lorna Bryant, aka DJ L Boogie, emceeing.
The evening was also an opportunity to honor contributors to Black Humboldt, including doula Tykeshia “Mama Humboldt” Lescheke, local hip hop artist Ra Ross, Rosemary Grady of Changing Tides, Black Humboldt Co-Chair Levia Love, Eureka NAACP President Sharrone Blanck, Umoja
Center Coordinator Alexus Harrelle, Bryant and Aundrea Stuckey of Youth Arts Will Succeed. Each was presented with a golden hair pick mounted on a glittering base.
“Events like this are pivotal to positive self-image and cultural celebration for Black and Brown community members,” said Black Humboldt Board Co-chair Monique Desir. “I think it’s also crucial for there to be more understanding of what Black culture is in practice by the whole community. Black and Brown representation feeds the social
aspects of community that we need to grow into our full selves and should be an expected and engrained part of the Humboldt community as well, not just for Black community.” The ball and events like it, she said, are part of that. l

Asking for an Administration
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
Thank you for taking the time to complete this brief survey. The questions that follow are purely hypothetical and part of a study you absolutely don’t need to worry about for a think tank focusing on outsidethe-box solutions to our political divide. And by “the box,” we mean accountability. Please read the scenarios below — again, just examples — and note how concerned you are or are not with the hypothetical complicity and/or active participation of powerful people in the sex trafficking of minors and child sexual abuse in light of other pressing issues, historic events and shiny objects. And, like, if one of those powerful people was a totally fictional president of an imaginary country south of Canada whose brand is already pretty rapey.
1. How concerned would you be about the president bro-ing out for decades with a convicted child sex offender if said president invited a gold medal-winning men’s hockey team to chuckle along with his misogyny and maul cold McDonald’s cheeseburgers with the busted remains of their teeth at the White House kids’ table?
A. Not concerned.
B. Somewhat concerned.
C. Concerned.
D. Very concerned.
2. How concerned would you be about the lack of prosecution of powerful abusers related to the Epstein-like files in your country while other countries are ousting elected officials and arresting royalty if at
the same time the president armed off-brand mall cops and sent them to kidnap, assault and occasionally kill your neighbors?
A. I cannot hear you over this bitchin’ Kid Rock track about underaged girls. Not concerned.
B. Kind of concerned about both now.
C. None of this is good and I’m getting more concerned, actually.
D. Still concerned and now joining a rapid response team.
3. How concerned would you be about your president using the Department of Justice to conceal his involvement with the trafficker, given his having bragged about peeking in the dressing room at Miss Teen USA pageant contestants, if your country buddied up with another nation to engage in light warfare, say, some bombings in the Middle East?
A. OK, but the bombing is to liberate women from an oppressive regime, right? Not concerned about a little sex trafficking.
B. Wait, is this going to affect the price of gas and/or Dubai chocolate?
C. This is an amazingly transparent attempt to distract from crime and corruption, but also, holy hell.
D. My capacity to be horrified in multiple directions has expanded since 2016, so yes, still extremely goddamned concerned about the trafficking.
4. How concerned would you be about the president chilling with the trafficker on top of his already lengthy resume of credible sexual assault and rape allegations, including being found liable for sexual abuse by a jury, if six U.S. military members were killed in the newly launched war?
A. My only concern is for the lives and safety of the uniformly heterosexual men fighting overseas to protect our God-given right to a subscription to Barely Legal
B. I cannot possibly mourn American casualties and protect children at the same time — in fact, object permanence has always been a bit of a challenge for me as well.
C. That is terrible but how are these deaths supposed to make me not concerned about the trafficking?
D. Kind of feeling like the rape stuff is the catalyst for the deaths, so, yeah, pretty fucking concerned.
5. If not six U.S. military deaths, how about 20? What if we go to triple digits?
Thousands? What about 740-ish foreign deaths, maybe a couple hundred of them children? If you have a number of U.S. and/ or foreign casualties in mind that would make you care less about the trafficking and cover-up, please note it in the margins.
A. OK, was going to stick with not being concerned but you’re creeping me out now.
B. How many died in the last war? I need to see some graphs.

Twisted Nerve
By Collin Yeo setlist@northcoastjournal.com
Ihad wanted to write about something else, but once again the gears of my attention span are gummed up quite a bit. I’m all for stopping to smell the flowers, but that behavior can appear frankly insane and willfully ignorant when the endless stench of crimes against humanity has been rising for years against the horizon like an endtimes tidal wave. I am informed by representatives from both American parties that we are not in fact at war, which is good, because nothing regarding that was voted for, thus saving those same reps from any future embarrassment by attaching their names to such a mess. It’s further a good thing we are not officially at war with Iran because at over 90 million people, Iran is larger in population than any single country we have been in a hot war with, with an army that sits in the top 10 globally in size and fi repower. Another fi rst for our country if we are stupid enough to engage, which, thankfully, I am informed by our very intelligent and scrupulously honest leaders, we are not and have not. This is reassuring because attacking a country that controls one of the most active shipping channels in the world would be really bad for anyone currently facing an extreme cost of living crisis. Thankfully, our supreme leader’s recent State of the Union address put to rest any notion of fi nancial concerns for the average citizen, for whom he is a noted advocate for and tireless representative.
So why can’t I shake this feeling that I am spending my time writing about music at a time of impossible horror when the worst of us are destroying every aspect of what makes life livable, before fi nally destroying life itself? Creatures who are so heartless, evil and stupid they don’t even seem human anymore, but rather some mutated malignancies created by an infernal leak of demonic radiation from a dimension of pure hell. I’ll have to
investigate my problems and get back to you. This must be a “me” thing, a figment of my imagination brought on by shaky nerves. Because if it weren’t, you’d think everyone with the slimmest stake in the future would be in the streets day and night fighting to the last breath against this disgusting takeover, this extinction and enslavement of all human good. I’ll try to get more sleep and get back to you. Sorry for having an off week; I’ll try to be better soon. Meanwhile, have fun out there.
Thursday
The Back Seat Drivers are bringing the blues to the Logger Bar during a free gig this afternoon at 4 p.m. Expect some of the anchored picking sounds of the prewar, Piedmont-style guitar blues, along with some variations coming in the form of bespoke tune arrangements by the group.
Friday
The Eureka Symphony is back with an early welcome to spring, playing tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts. Tonight’s program is called Legends and Spirits — Stories in Sound and features bassoon soloist Rufus Olivier playing the music of living Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaahá Tate, along with the Symphony’s rendition of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade.
Later on down the street around 9 p.m., the Shanty is offering a free metal show in the Swan Room, featuring Germany-to-Colorado black metal act Hexenwald and locals Bloodspire
Saturday
Three options tonight, so I’ll get with the facts. Two 7 p.m. gigs in Arcata. Over
at the Arcata Playhouse, Harmonic Howl presents Women of Country, a group featuring singers Ruby Ruth George, Elle Penner and Briana Penner for $20. There’s a “Classic Cuntry” (costume contest, so dress accordingly.
Meanwhile over at the Moss Oak Commons, you will fi nd a shoegaze and rock gig featuring Glacier Dorm , Vulture Feather, Lady in Waiting and Blackplate This one’s a suggested $10 at the door. And fi nally, back at the Shanty at 9 p.m. for some interstellar travel jams courtesy of The Freeks , who are back in town and playing with Midnight Dumpster Fire and The Uncredible Phin Band for free.
Sunday
Back over to the Arcata Playhouse for more Zero to Fierce Fest action, come check out singer/songwriter Ruth Theodore as she teams up with singer/songwriter and playwright Katie Dahl for an evening of original music. It starts at 7 p.m. and $30 is the price for this jamberoo.
Monday
The Outer Space is hosting Seattle indie musician Sarah Weszely’s act Where’s Beth , along with support from Halfwing and Luna Sofi a .The music starts around 7:30 p.m., and the entrance fee for this all-ages, sober show is a suggested $5-$20.
Tuesday
The demand for Bay Area rapper Mike Sherm was so great they added another night at the Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight
at 8 p.m. and the early bird tickets are already sold out. So if this one is of interest to you, last I checked general admission tickets are going for around $60, which doesn’t leave a lot of money for refreshments, sherm or otherwise. That’s a joke, I am not endorsing wasting your money — and possibly yourself — on PCP.
Wednesday
Back to the Arcata Theatre Lounge for sci-fi night, where tonight’s offering is Under the Skin , a creepy and stylish bit of alien horror starring Scarlett Johansson. This is an earlier film from Jonathan Glazer, one of the only people in mainstream Hollywood to draw a direct (and obvious to anyone with a functioning conscience) line between the mass dehumanization in the west regarding the genocide in Gaza and the same willfully evil behavior that helped fuel the extermination machines of the Holocaust when he gave his speech after winning an Oscar for his recent film The Zone of Interest. Since his days as a music video director — anyone remember “Virtual Insanity?” — he has always been an ace at his art. Same deal as ever, roll through before 7 p.m., $6 to get in $10 if you want to leave with a poster. Enjoy. ●
Collin Yeo (he/him) is looking forward to his upcoming decontamination cycle in the Adelson Wing of the Jolly West Institute for Relaxation and Fun.

Dark Suburban Corners
DTF St. Louis
By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com
DTF ST. LOUIS. Some months ago, in a fallow period likely brought on by the end of a Taylor Sheridan binge, I had resigned myself to listlessly stream-scrolling, nearly paralyzed by the catastrophe of excess. In swooped my younger, frequently wiser brother, who recommended the decade-old series Patriot and, at that entertainment nadir, led me back into the light. The light being, of course, countless, arguably better-spent hours spent devouring content. It was the rare case of content breeding contentment, though, and I remain grateful because it led me to a re/discovery of the works of Steve (may I call you Steve?) Conrad, one of the magical, under-sung writers for the screen.
Conrad had co-written the screenplay for the mostly forgotten Wonder (2017), a movie as much about compassion as any in recent memory. My recollection of it was faint, lingering as a pleasant sense memory from that long-ago era of nascent American fascism. It afforded a brief “aha” moment when I dove into Patriot (a series I had flipped past too many times to count), which is a secret agent tragicomedy about well-meaning people struggling, sometimes ineptly, to contend with the demands of a largely uncaring world. Backdropped with that theme, the show is elegantly, hilariously written, populated by characters so absurd and befuddled that they cannot help but seem true to life. It is also ambitiously staged, beautifully photographed, intricately plotted and as debilitatingly funny as it is sweetly sad. It evinces mastery of a very particular strain of writing for the screen, delicately laden with motifs and fl avored with razor-keen, perfectly timed dialogue that wouldn’t seem out of place in the pantheon of mid-20th century screwball or noir. At the same time, though, the characters are lovably dumb, capable of terrible venalities and just barely hanging onto the tiller of righteousness in a sea of turpitude.
Patriot led me inevitably to Perpetual Grace, LTD, Conrad’s next series (tragically cut short by the onset of the plague), which scaled down from international espionage to Southwestern grift, to equally ecstatic effect. Working with some of the same bril-
liant actors (some might call them a troupe), Conrad created another elevated but familiar world of bumblers and ne’er-do-wells, once again defi ned by distinctive control of camera and editing and indelibly colored with lively, lovingly crafted language.
Between then and now, Conrad also created two Patriot spinoff podcast series (only one of which I have voraciously binged, so far) and the hardboiled puppet series Ultra City Smiths , all of which contend with humanity (or a simulacrum thereof) as a species making its way in a world that may turn out to be empirically uncaring.
Conrad’s writing lands somewhere between Wes Anderson and the Coens: If Anderson wore less seersucker and accepted adulthood; if the Coens were a little less certain the universe is blithely antagonistic.
Which brings us to the now and DTF St. Louis . A show about schlubby ASL translator Floyd (David Harbour), half-slick weatherman Clark (Jason Bateman), who rides a recumbent bike and may or may not be Floyd’s friend, and a hook-up app for pasttheir-prime suburb denizens, DTF has yet to fully reveal itself, but has already shown the trademarks of its creator. While faces from Conrad’s previous work have yet to appear, the language (alternatingly laconic and staccato) and aesthetic are very much in place, as is the greater tonality of regular people running up against irregular circumstance.
As in Conrad’s other work, the world of DTF isn’t so much evil as inert, an objective reality wherein the actions of its inhabitants defi ne its occasional malignance. But it’s also a fun, funny place where deaths by misadventure and malice aforethought just might happen to go down.
A quick word of advice: Maybe don’t watch this series with a St. Louis native (like my wife), as the pause button will become shopworn from that St. Louisan pointing out the show’s many geographic and verbal irregularities; it was not, in fact, shot in or near St. Louis. It is yet to be determined whether the setting is indeed a crucial part of the narrative, but knowing Conrad’s approach to the work, we should be safe in assuming everything happens for a reason.
This time around, Linda Cardellini, Joy Sunday and Richard Jenkins join the cast, all of whom have frequently proven themselves game for something new, nasty, clever and welcome. TVMA. HBOMAX. ●

Monarch Butterflies
Part 1: Migration Magic
By Barry Evans fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com
It’s not easy being a monarch butterfly these days. Your caterpillar’s essential milkweed food is no longer abundant; illegal logging and beetle infestations threaten your main winter roosts in Mexico, and climate change is playing havoc with nectar plants on your migration routes. Where hundreds of millions of monarchs roosted annually in the mountain forests of Central Mexico in the 1980s, only about 38 million made it there last winter. Over a 15-year period, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that 1 billion fewer Eastern population individuals returned to their overwintering sites. For the much smaller western populations, the situation is even worse, their numbers being barely one percent of what it been in the 1980s.
Monarch butterflies go through four life stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa and adult. Each female lays up to a few hundred eggs, always on milkweed plants. After a few days, the caterpillars hatch and feed ravenously on the milkweed stalks before pupating. Ten to 14 days later, the actual butterflies emerge as hardy orange and black flying machines.
East of the Rockies, monarchs come in two lifetimes, short-lived (up to two months) for those flying north and long-lived (about eight months) for southbound ones. Coming north, each individual’s actual flying lifetime is a mere three weeks or so before stopping to reproduce, passing on genes to their progeny like a relay runner’s baton before dying. Two or three generations after leaving their winter haven in Mexico (and, to a lesser extent, Florida), most of them they arrive in the northern U.S. or southeast Canada, where the long-lived generation is born, destined to flap their way south to their grand-, or great-grandparents’ winter roost.
The challenge for these southbound fliers begins in the fall. Incredibly, their inherited genes include a map of the route — up to 3,000 miles — to their destination. That’s not all: The creature’s tiny brain includes a navigation system that uses the sun for orientation (seeing in blue, green and ultraviolet) along with an internal clock to compensate, hourby-hour, for the sun’s daily movement across the sky. Flying at about 6 miles per hour, fewer than one in five completes the journey, the rest having fallen prey to hungry birds, strong headwinds or fatigue. Upon arrival in the Mexican states of Michoacan and Mexico, they swirl in great clouds above the high-elevation Oyamel firs before settling down, each clinging to its neighbor above in long thick chains of orange and black. There, they spend four to five months in semi-hibernation, typically fluttering around seeking nectar and water when the air warms up during the day.
At the end of their time in the high-elevation groves and before starting to head north, they mate, with the male typically forcing the female to the ground or on a tree branch where they copulate. Then the monarch’s annual cycle starts anew. In their millions, they head 1,000 miles or so to the southern U.S., where the females lay their eggs on milkweed plants — and die, having passed on their genes to the next generation.
Next week: How revolutionary tiny transmitters are helping conserve the remaining monarchs. l

Compact the pond walls after placement of material.
Rip the bottom soil to a minimum depth of four feet. Space ripped paths four feet on center. Replace material removed from the pond bottoms with ¾ washed gravel (approx. 2000 tons). Grade the bottom of the pond 1-3% to direct water flow toward pumps Pond depth after placing gravel should be 18 feet. Contractor shall furnish City with all truck tickets for washed gravel upon request.
Reposition the two pumping units (one at the NE corner of the south pond, and the other at the southeast corner of the north pond), at finished grade level and at direction of engineer.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-
sidering 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 free 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 The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

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 (626) 579-5350 or visit www.lendersforeclosureservices. com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-05 1085. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If you are the owner of a residential real property containing no more than four dwelling units, the sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed ONCE for 45 days pursuant to Section 2924f of the California Civil Code, if the trustee receives from you, at least five business days before the scheduled date of sale, by certified mail with the United States Postal Service or by another overnight mail courier service with tracking information that confirms the recipient’s signature and the date and time of receipt and delivery, a listing agreement with a California licensed real estate broker to be placed in a publicly available marketing platform for the sale of the property. If the trustee receives, at least five business days before the scheduled date of sale, from you, by certified mail with the United States Postal Service or by another overnight mail courier service with tracking information that confirms the recipient’s signature and the date and time of receipt and delivery, a copy of a purchase agreement for the sale of the property, the trustee shall postpone the scheduled date of sale to a date that is at least 45 days after the date on which the purchase agreement was received by the trustee. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may
have a 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.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF John c. Moore, a/k/a John Charles Moore, a/k/a John Charles Ratzlaff
CASE NO. PR2600049
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of John c. Moore, a/k/a John Charles Moore, a/k/a John Charles Ratzlaff A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner, Nathan Edward Daily In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that Nathan Edward Daily be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent’ will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. This will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
