Editor:

How sweet to see one of my favorite poets (Susan Pahl) writing about one of my favorite librarians (Susan Parsons) — “There Is a Story,” June 4, 2026.

Susan Parsons: Thank you for all your years of love and service at the Arcata library. You have made that space a lively, loving place, and all of us explorers are better for it.

Susan Pahl: Thank you for letting your shy words bound into all our eyes. Susan Parsons is hard to pin down in just a few lines, but your lovely words help me hold her close.

I cherish the breeze each of you brings to our community.

Heal McKnight, Arcata

What To Do

The Humboldt County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office is asking residents who bought a vine at Costco on or after April 21 to contact the office at (707) 441-5260 or email AGCommissioner@ co.humboldt.ca.us

Residents are asked not to plant the vines, if they have not already, and not to “move or throw away the plants,” but to “place two garbage bags over the plant, secure them tightly and immediately contact” the office “for further guidance and to schedule an inspection.”

“The glassy-winged sharpshooter poses a serious threat and it’s important that we move quickly to prevent it from spreading,” Humboldt County Agricultural Commissioner Weylan Shaw said.

Costco and by “the homes of all customers who purchased grapevines from Costco, whether those vines were destroyed or not,” he says.

Even though the glassy-winged sharpshooter has never been detected locally before, Hoffman says Humboldt, like most counties in California, always has an eye out for the pest, with 117 monitoring traps in place “on potential host trees from spring through early fall as part of the Pierce’s Disease Control Program.”

Originally hailing from the southeastern United States and Mexico, the insect was first discovered in the state in the 1990s. Six entire counties, including San Diego, Los Angeles and Ventura, are now categorized as infested areas and portions of others, including Fresno, are also labeled as such.

With the glassy-winged sharpshooter preferring what Hoffman describes as areas having “warm to hot summers and mild winters,” Humboldt generally doesn’t really fit the bill and “and may temper its establishment.”

But, he notes, were Humboldt to be classified as a “generally infested” county, the designation “would impact nurseries and producers that ship outside of the county.”

“These producers could lose access to certain markets unless they meet specific Pierce’s Disease compliance requirements, which could significantly raise their cost of doing business,” Hoffman says. l

For that mural, he says, Cherie Arkley wanted theatrical elements, like dancers and musicians. Fresh from a trip to France, Flatmo drew from his photos of the Luxembourg Gardens and the Arc de Triomphe, added dancer Cyd Charisse and musicians he found in a book. Using Photoshop, he applied the elements to an image of the building. “She just about shit,” he says, still visibly proud. “I think I [asked for] $25 or $35 a square foot and when I went back home, I thought, ‘Wow, that’s a lot of money.’ But they went, ‘All right,’” he says, clapping his hands together.

Working for clients, whether on a mural or designs for Foxfarm Soil and Fertilizer Co., always meant starting with their visions and bringing in his own ideas. “I want to impress ’em,” says Flatmo. It’s also what he says about his own goals for a mural. “I want people to go, ‘Wow!’” he says. “I don’t think murals have to say anything. They can just be beautiful pieces.”

But not everyone loved what he was doing, and the early days of public art meant jumping through lots of hoops to get the city to approve images. There were, he says, concerns the work he was doing with youth through the challengingly named Rural Burl Mural Bureau didn’t suit surrounding buildings.

“A mural shouldn’t blend in,” Flatmo says. “It should be a breath of fresh air when you come around a corner.”

Working with the community was part of what the students learned along with painting. That included attending meetings. “They were getting stuck in my class for community service for doing graffiti,” he says with a wide smile, so they learned to work with building owners and do more than they could with stolen minutes and a spray can.

“I loved that class,” Flatmo says, the window light whiting out his glasses. “That’s what I did instead of having kids, you know.

There are plenty of kids out there who need help,” he says. For 12 years of weekends, he taught them the ropes and helped them paint murals around town. “I’d tell them, ‘I’m not your parent and I’m not your teacher. I’m right here in between.’”

One of his favorite Rural Burl Mural Bureau’s pieces is “Inharmonious,” painted on plywood and attached to the wall at Fifth and F streets in Eureka. The title speaks to issue of murals blending into their surroundings. A model of eclecticism, it’s comprised of students’ individually created images that Flatmo patched together. “It’s still holding up,” he says. “It still looks nice.”

How outdoor art holds up is another issue Flatmo feels strongly about. “We don’t want to become, Eureka: the land of faded murals.” Another Bureau piece beside the Courthouse Market, “Animals are People Too,” for which students cut out animal heads from magazines and placed them on human bodies, needs refreshing before it starts to peel, he says. “Instead of new murals every year, you need to take a year and restore some of these.”

Painter and sculptor Micki Flatmo wears jade green and tortoise glasses and a white button down, swirling silver bracelets on each wrist. She fi rst met Duane when she was an advertising director, designing everything from print ads to window displays at Bistrin’s retail clothing store and hired him to do silkscreening at a better price than someone else. Back then, Duane was roller skating everywhere, zipping around handing off drawings, invoices and receipts, including to Bistrin’s. She remembers seeing him delivering to Bistrin’s from up on a ladder when she was putting up a marquee for a sale one day.

“He roller skated off and I thought, ‘Hmm. That’s a really different kind of guy.’”

Underbidding Micki’s former silkscreener turned out to be a shrewd move. Their marriages had ended at the same time and they started dating. “I found somebody who’s a

gem and we just connected,” says Duane. In turns, the two tell the story of the fi rst art they made together: a pair of cardboard Halloween masks to wear around Old Town. A woman offered to buy them for $75 each and they took her up on it, handing them over after the festivities. “We had a year’s worth of making art together before we started to date,” says Micki, who joined in the now Kinetic Grand Championship fun in 1982. “It just became this natural outgrowth of what we did.”

Their artistic partnership is mostly parallel. “His world was out in the shop in the garage and he’ll be out there until 2 in the morning,” she says, while she works in her studio. But they visit each other’s

Brews for a Cause at the Homebrew Festival

By Michael Kraft onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

In the years before the pandemic, the festival filled Arcata’s other, much larger, community center. This felt intimate and back-to-basics with maybe 20 brewers, several dozen brews of various kinds, with hard-driving band The Mojovators performing multiple sets.

It’s like the difference between a recent Platinum Edition Ford pickup and an F100 from back in the day. Both are awesome but there’s something to be said for the one where you can stand in the engine bay and get to everything. At that scale, I wouldn’t get to every one of those brews, but I could actually plan a tasting order that made sense: Go lighter to darker, less hoppy to hoppier, and save the palate-exploding sour for last.

I started with a beer I thought wouldn’t work, what brewer Dutch Sullivan termed a West Coast Bitter. If that doesn’t sound like a thing to you, you would be correct. This invention, an English bitter with a slight citrusy hop note rather than the earthier type normal to the style, was light but in no way dull, hitting the English/Californian combination nicely.

nearly imperceptible alcohol. Delicious. And dangerous.

Landing next with Joshua Gruver, I tried his Red Ale. Gruver hit the style nicely, with hints of roast, a copper color, low bitterness and relatively dry.

Chrissy Gierek poured her Orange Cream Ale. Cream ale typically represents your classic lawnmower beer. It’s one that craft beer people use to bring mass beer drinkers over to the light side of the force. Hers is all natural, with moderate citrus flavors coming from orange peels rather than some kind of extract. I gave my people’s choice vote to Gierek for her Oatmeal Cookie Brown Ale. Without being cloying, the brew nailed an oatmeal raisin cookie. I loved it, and I don’t like raisins.

I visited Peter Carlson, who was pouring a Spruce Tip Pale Ale. It’s easy to overdo spruce, which then thanks you with a hard punch to the face. Carlson deployed a light touch, proud of pulling the spruce tips from his backyard 10 minutes prior to using them and producing a beer that tastes like a walk in the dune forest.

I moved over to Lane Millar’s German Pilsner, which I found to be clean and classic, a well-made beer. Like vanilla ice cream, with a Pilsner there’s no place for mistakes to hide.

Kenny Berry came next on my list, specifically for his Kolsch. Kolsch must be fresh to be its best, which makes it a beer that typically homebrewers and small commercial operations serve and bigger operations avoid. For this brew, Berry played with water chemistry to approximate the water of Koln (Cologne) Germany, the home of Kolsch. I’ve never been there, but I have brewed enough Kolsch myself to believe Berry’s hit the target.

Caitlin Berry offered up a hard peach tea. It tasted like Arizona Iced Tea, which is exactly what it was, fermented to produce

I loved that Matt Kowalski brought a California Common. More often — despite a pesky trademark — called a “Steam Beer,” I consider it the endemic beer of the Northern California coast. An ale/lager hybrid, it’s what German brewers who moved to San Francisco during the Gold Rush brewed in our region’s outdoor temperatures. Kowalski’s version was honest, accurate to the style and quaffable.

Ben Morales poured a couple of different Sake wines. I tried his lemongrass version, which presented a floral quality up front and a classic sake finish in the back, a posh Japanese flavor mullet. It desires to be paired with a big order of tempura.

Back to Mr. Gruver, for the Humboldt Homebrew Club’s barleywine. This heavy beer, with 11 percent alcohol, hit all the right notes.

Steve Martin served up a Belgian Dark Strong Ale, which succeeded in being all three — Belgian style, strong and dark. He also poured his Maple Sipper Cider, whose only fermentable ingredients were apple juice concentrate and maple syrup. Thick, highly boozy and sweet, it reminded me of a late harvest Gewurtstraminer wine I stumbled across decades ago.

Finally, it became time for Kevin Naset’s Cuvee de Rio Dell, a brew in the ZIP code of a Flanders Red. Naset has achieved local homebrew fame for both producing powerfully sour beers and for being a mad zymurgist. I suspect his house looks like Dr. Frankenstein’s basement. This version was the product of blending multiple batches, some more than 10 years old. Any more sourness and it would have been too much even for me. As is, it was a welcome punch in the mouth.

Naset won the Brewer’s Choice Award with the Cuvee de Rio Dell. Dutch Sullivan won People’s Choice with his Belgian wit, which was gone by the time I got there, doggone it.

When homebrewers get together to pour beer for the wider world, it typically benefits some cause. In this case, brewers support the work of the North Coast Professional Chapter of Engineers Without Borders, the organizers of the fest. Their

current project aids a small community in Mataro, Bolivia. Chapter President Katelyn Brady described the community as suffering from seasonal water shortages, which necessitate the use of less-than-safe water. They seek to build a pipeline to pump water from a year-round spring uphill. I feared that this smaller, more-lightly-attended festival might not produce the same financial return. Brady indicated that the reverse was true; the net from the current version of the fest exceeded that of the more elaborate shows I remembered. Points for the Ford F100.

Keep an eye out for this festival in the future. While 100 percent of the brewers in the room have the ability to make a bad beer, they won’t bring it here. Here, you get their best, a great variety, and all for a good cause. l

Open Studios 2026

In case you missed a chance to visit some of the studios and galleries of the 150 local artists participating in the 26th annual North Coast Open Studios event last weekend, no worries. There’s still time to visit many of their studios and galleries located between Eureka and Trinidad and east to Willow Creek this coming Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. My plan last weekend was to visit studios of familiar artists and then to search the Open Studio guidebook for some I had never heard of before. My first stop during the NCOS soft opening, overlapping with Eureka’s Friday Night Market, was at the 40° North Gallery to see the 15 new “Aftermath” drawings on black paper by Laura Corsiglia. She was one of the four artists (including Carol Andersen, Peggy Rivers and Van Shields) who watched their 10th Street studio and most of their art destroyed in the Jan. 2 fire in Arcata (“Coming to Arcata’s Aid,” Jan. 8, 2026). Corsiglia’s artist statement reads, “Drawing can be chasing clues into the unknown with a line looking around. Sometimes we can bring back bad news. Aftermath is the name of these recent drawings on black, piercing-peeking through

the ash of a real fire. There may be birds hiding behind them or flying above them. I’m watching for these.”

My wide-ranging Friday night explorations included Open Studios sites in Eureka and Bracut, and on Saturday I headed up to Kneeland, out along West End Road and around Arcata. The C Street Studios in Eureka included the packed-space display of vibrant acrylics (and recently, some with glitter!) by painter Augustus Clark for his 24th year of Open Studios and the experimental and playful work of painter Rachel Schlueter. At the end of that block, I stopped for Humboldt Community Access and Resource’s Canvas & Clay Studio gallery, described as a place for “artists of varying abilities, fostering an authentic art practice and professional growth within an inviting art community.” It’s not open next weekend so stop by through June 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to see the ceramics, paintings, drawings, textiles and video by Elizabeth Kordes, Birdman, Allen Cassidy and others.

After several more stops to see artwork at several studios (see more photos at northcoastjournal.com), I had to agree with Open Studios coordinator and participating

artist Monica Topping-Adams, who said, “One of my many favorite aspects of this event is the creative disaster. Splattered clay, cups of well-loved paint brushes, storage shelves of glass — it inspires me to no end to see how artists store their supplies and really enjoy their creative spaces.”

To plan your visits next weekend, pick up a free guidebook for this DreamMaker project at the Ink People’s office at 627 Third

St. in Old Town Eureka, at local galleries and artist-supporting businesses, or at northcoastopenstudios.com . A few of the artists listed are open only by appointment. All the artists I met said if you want to visit the rest of the year, reach out to schedule a visit. l

Crabs Walk Off Eagles, Then Sweep Storm

By Brandon Dixon

getout@northcoastjournal.com

After handily sweeping through week 1, the Humboldt Crabs opened the second week of the season Wednesday night, challenged and pushed to the brink by a somewhat unlikely opponent.

The Humboldt Eagles, a team made up of local high school and junior college players showed up to Arcata ballpark, and they meant business. The Eagles jumped ahead early scoring a run in the first and tacking on another in the second. The Crabbies would respond in the second. With the help of a walk and an error, they would push across their first run. Then a Colton Boardman sacrifice fly would bring in Kawana Soares to even things up. Things would stay that way until the fourth inning, when Daniel Osbourne’s sacrifice fly brought home Damien

Casas and the good guys were back on top 3-2. But the feisty Eagles would counter in the fifth inning, scoring two more runs to regain the lead, and the game began to feel more like a boxing match than a baseball game. The Crabs entered the bottom of the ninth trailing 5-4 before a Jaden Shabry sacrifice fly tied things up. Casas came up with the bases full of Crabs and singled in the winning run. The Crabs squeaked away in a walk off, 6-5.

The boys welcomed the South Bay Storm to the yard Friday night for a three-game weekend set, and I guess you could say the Eagles game was a wake-up call because the Crabs came out swinging. After scoring 1 in the first and tacking on another in the second, the Crabs exploded for seven runs in

the third, and the rout was on. Every Crabs player would record a hit, 20 in all. Highlighted by a four-hit effort from Boardman, a three-hit night from both Chyran Humphries and Jason Arriola, and a three-hit night from Casas that included a home run. The real story, however, was Adam Enyart, who had three hits, including a two-run home run, a grand slam and six RBIs. Aiden Dorsch threw six scoreless innings to pick up his second win in as many chances. Crabs roll 21-2.

day, and I just love to compete.” Lots of cowbells, Crabs win 15-3.

On getaway day, the Crabs fell behind early when the Storm took their first lead of the series with a run in the second inning. However, the Crabs evened things up in the third inning. In the fourth inning, the Crabs exploded for six-run headlined by a grand slam from Casas. On the day, Casas finished with three hits and four RBIs. On the week, he had the walk of hit Wednesday and two home runs. Nikko Taylor also drove in four, and the Crabs swept the week 12-3.

In game 2, the Crabs jumped on the board early putting up three runs behind an Arriola single that would plate two. Things stayed that way until a Mikey Pickett home run extended things. In the seventh inning, the Crabs kicked the door in. A Shadry RBI single and a three-run home run from Enyart would be the knock-out blow. Daniel Osbourne finished the night with four hits and three RBIs. Enyart wound up the night with three hits and four RBIs. After not hitting for a year when asked about his early season success Enyart said with a smirk, “It’s just like riding a bike.” Asked if the ball was looking like a beach ball, he answered with a chuckle, “Ya, it kinda does right now. … I’m just grateful for Coach Giacomini and Coach Bryant who work with me in the cages every

The Crabs are back in action Tuesday night, June 9, with a two-game set against the Fresno A’s. They’ll then host a weekend series against the Rocklin Stonecutters.

Heckle of the Week:

After a Storm player took a called third strike, a Crabs fan yelled, “Can I help you?” Which was followed up by fellow heckler responding, “Nope, just looking.” l

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

By Collin Yeo setlist@northcoastjournal.com

There’s a certain magic about waking up in an unfamiliar place at an unusual time. Even when pain and confusion are involved, there’s still a special glow surrounding the experience. One that I suspect serious alcoholics and other addicts simply register as standard turbulence in the regular flight logs they file in pursuit of those sweet, weightless moments that hit in the scary parabolas between the heat of a full-throttled ascension and stratospheric freeze of a stalled decline. Nothing against those folks — I can talk shop with many professional inebriants — but at my age and temperament, I can’t pretend to have the “right stuff” to endure any G-force binges and hangovers. I need to encounter my confused moments of blurry repatriation with the cold, hard earth in a different fashion. So, I went camping last weekend. Hard ground, cold mornings, thin tent. Easy work for drunks or monks, but I am neither. Still, I got to hear a pre-dawn chorus of birds that was entirely new to me. It was absolutely gorgeous, and worth all the pain and inconvenience that fueled the flight.

The experience snatched me up and rolled me over completely. It made me think about absolutely nothing and then a lot of things at once. Far too many things. It took me out of my own head and then forced an examination of the ugly clutter when I popped back inside. Which is great for a catalog of writing prompts but terrible for any immediate reporting. To those of you who enjoy these intros: I’ll work it out shortly. For everyone else, see below.

Thursday

Sir Richard Bishop has been here before, and has thankfully now come again, right on the cusp of the solstice — the summer’s brightest edge — in a year when we could all use something transmundane to drag us out of the muck and toward the light. For those of you who haven’t heard his work, he is a phenomenal guitarist who has been playing in his own fashion for a very long time. Comparisons are pretty lousy for folks of his ilk, so while some writers might liken

him to the late, great John Fahey, I prefer to think of his music as a hidden alpine headwater spot full of beautiful critters of bespoke habits and colors, all expressing a strange dance of life to echo the weird contours of their unique and glorious home. In short, this is going to be a fantastic show, with support by two local treasures who are perfect for the occasion, Meg Baird and Oryan Peterson-Jones , each themselves a library of great music and live art.The fun starts early at 7 p.m. at — where else? — the Miniplex ($20).

Friday

Back to the Miniplex again tonight because that place is absolutely cooking with good shows this week. Tonight’s headliners are dear to my heart, as they are among the fine flock of critters I got to enjoy as a teenager long ago in my old home of New Orleans. I’m talking about the fabulous synth and puppet stylings of Quintron & Miss Pussycat,the radical inventors of many good times and good time aides, from Drum Buddies to beyond the uncanny valley of plush theatrics all the world around. My best advice for the uninitiated is to look up some of their live shit on YouTube or, even better, trust me on this one and nab some tickets ASAP to see for yerselves ($15 for earlybirds, $20 at the door). Oakland/Bay Area duo Bat Noise will provide an excellent companion sound, and DJ Anya Slayer and the WOAH (Women on Air Humboldt) Collective will tune the vibes right, so be sure to be there when the doors open at 8 p.m.

Saturday

I’m not here to either sell or slag off Oyster Fest. There are more than enough voices out there slinging all the cheers and jeers to top off anyone with a set of eyes and ears — willing or otherwise. Let people have fun,

I say, whether that fun involves advocating for or talking shit about something is entirely their concern. I’m like the placid gibbon: munching away on the leaves and fruits in a treetop just nearly far enough away from the forest floor to be ignorant of any rumbles in the jungle. If you’d like a taste of the canapés in that canopy, here are a couple of gigs outside of crowded Arcata.

The Fortuna Monday Club is hosting Oregon folk duo Lisa Lynne & Aryeh Frankfurter, whose tunes peel magic from a catalog of whirligig wonders from their shared knowledge of global acoustic instruments. The show starts at 7 p.m. and costs $15 a gander.

Meanwhile, two hours later at the Logger Bar, it’s an evening of free bluegrass tunes courtesy of Turtle Goodwater and Company. I’ve said it before and I will do so again now: This is the perfect place for this kind of fun.

Sunday

The Summer Music Series at the Humboldt Botanical Garden continues its aestival Sunday celebrations with an Irie Rockerz show from 1 to 3 p.m. If you’d like to enjoy some tunes by some of SoHum’s favorite reggae regulators, the ticket pricing is as follows: $10 for general admission, $7 for seniors in that grouping, $5 for all members.

Monday

Once more to the Miniplex for an excellent early-week show. Alice Sandahl was a longtime member of Seattle’s dark tremolo

and nighttime surf rock act La Luz, but has struck out on her own in the last couple of years, playing a type of moody blues and slow-burn bubblegum that sounds just right in the afterglow of the day. She will be supported by a similarly enigmatic local group, the excellent Widdershins . The doors open at 7 p.m., so this will be an early show, consider it an evening introduction into a night haunted by the ghosts of rainbows past ($15, $12 advance).

Tuesday

Stay home and listen to the sounds of the recently late — as of two weeks ago — James Blood Ulmer, one of the fiercest and truly freest guitarists to have ever tuned up and played. A man who tested Ornette Coleman and Art Blakey in the beginning of his career. Never dull, always thinking, he made music because he had to, and appeared feral to people too caged and stupid to appreciate that he was cutting us all loose from the string, the labyrinth and the beast stuck inside. Check out his record Odyssey for starters.

Wednesday

Jamaican roots-reggae revival rocker Jesse Royal is making a midweek stop at Humbrews tonight at 9:30 p.m. This presents the perfect opportunity to hear how one of the best from the younger generation is keeping the sounds of the classic era alive and kicking ($25, $20 advance). l

Pride happens in June for a reason. The Stonewall Uprising took place in late June of 1969, and every parade and festival since carries that history forward and reminds us why we march. In a year where progress is sliding back, rights are being stripped and LGBTQ+ people are being attacked by the President on down, showing up matters. Join others in the community for Ferndale Pride on Saturday, June 13, from 10 to 5 p.m. in a show of solidarity and celebration (free). Gather at Ferndale City Hall around 10 a.m. for a march that starts at 11 a.m. and winds through town to Firemen’s Park . There, the festival goes from noon to 5 p.m. with vendors and live music.

Tow Might Be Good for You

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

TOW. Is a judicial system, ostensibly built to protect the citizenry but susceptible to the manipulations of commerce and greed, inherently cynical? Possibly. Is a movie, replete with marketable stars, that explores an individual’s struggle against such a corruptible system, also cynical? Hopefully not. What about the critic who, in the face of such an effort, balks at its preciousness and critical distance from the nastier elements of such a struggle? Decidedly, yes. Such is the intersection of predilection and intent at which I met Tow. I was drawn to it for the luminous, fi nally-getting-her-due Rose Byrne, but also for the direction of Stephanie Laing, a television veteran helming just her second feature. A fan of much of Laing’s work, I have recently been taken with Apple’s Your Friends & Neighbors , a Jon Hamm-starring dramedy set among the mansions and morbid self-interests of the Hudson Valley upper crust. That show possesses a twinned gloss and gravity, a visual sensibility that harmonizes perfectly with its narrative threads of deception and elitist ineptitude. How much of that can be attributed solely to Laing’s work behind the camera isn’t for me to say, but her contributions were enough to make me curious what she would do with a decidedly different milieu. That being, in the case of Tow, the struggle of an unhoused, mostly recovering alcoholic to recover her home (a 1991 Toyota Camry) from the avaricious business holding it for ransom.

In present-day Seattle, Amanda Ogle (Byrne), a licensed veterinary technician who doesn’t suffer bullshit, is staying in her car after a prolonged run of bad luck which, most pointedly, has separated her from her teenage child Avery (Elsie Fisher). When, after a promising job interview at a pet spa (gotta play the hand you’re dealt), her Camry is stolen and miraculously recovered, she is presented with a towing and storage bill she cannot possibly afford. Despite her initial successful efforts in court and to fi nd

temporary housing, the tow company in question continues to assess fees, rendering the whole situation untenable. Amanda enlists the aid of a crusading young attorney (Dominic Sessa), though, and begins a year-long legal fight for personal justice in the face of corporate and institutional indignity.

“Inspired by a true story,” Tow is very much of our moment, when culture at large and, more directly, nefarious influences within the democracy, seem bent on the erasure of the already marginalized. It’s an opportunity to excavate the struggles of the disenfranchised and put a face to, or at least rail at, the greed-monsters whose pursuit of ever-greater material wealth and smugness put so many lives in jeopardy.

The movie does that to an extent. That it doesn’t attempt to do it in the style of James Agee, Larry Clark or Diane Arbus may not be to my liking, but I can’t blame the movie or its makers for that. Because I think Tow is probably almost exactly what it sets out to be: a hard-luck story in an almost-forgotten mode, a universally accessible underdog tale that isn’t nasty, dismal or hard-edged at all. It flirts with the darkness (one of my more tenacious pet peeves), but never gets mired in it, which is actually one of its assets.

The movie harkens back to (forgive the Boomerism) a simpler time, when a movie about an individual asserting her humanity against an uncaring world, with a cast of luminaries (Octavia Spencer, Ariana Dubose, Demi Lovato, Corbin Bernsen all appear), might be something the culture could rally around. Its lightness and lack of depravity would have been compelling attributes. It may never have been my particular brand, but I can set aside my once and future prickliness to acknowledge that this kind

of movie was and can still be good and nourishing.

But that rallying moment may have vanished altogether, leaving a movie like Tow to languish in the ether, unlikely to be seen and enjoyed by the multitude who could most benefit from it. It may not achieve greatness but it self-assuredly occupies a vacant space of compassion and humaneness we would all do well to frequent. R. 105M. ●

Drawn to Water Troughs? Read This

By Pete Haggard with Jane Monroe

Aday after I roto-tilled the garden we had a warm spring rain, after which I saw many long, thin worms on the loose soil. Each was waving its body in the air in a circular motion. What surprised me was not the worms’ behavior, but the number of them — this small garden plot contained hundreds of horsehair worms.

My earliest encounters with horsehair worms involved finding them in livestock troughs at my uncle’s farm. My uncle explained that these worms originate when hair from horses’ manes or tails drops into a trough and then turns into a living worm. I began to doubt this alleged “natural history” in fourth grade when I noticed horsehair worms exiting the bodies of drowned grasshoppers in the troughs.

The most common horsehair worm in Humboldt is easiest to find after those warm spring rains and can be seen waving around on bare soil or on plants. Whether a single worm or a group in a Gordian knot, they are in constant motion. They are very long and wire-thin, indeed looking very much like a 3- to 6-inch piece of wire.

Horsehair worms lack eyes, a functional gut and excretory, respiratory and circulatory systems. How do they survive? They are internal parasitoids of invertebrates such as insects and spiders. Like many internal parasites, they have evolved simplified bodies but a complex natural history. Larval horsehair worms live in the host’s body cavity and absorb nutrients directly through their skin. In some species, the infection drives the host to seek out water. The host then drowns — hence the grasshoppers in my uncle’s water troughs — and the adult worm leaves the body to seek a mate. They lay eggs in the water and once the larvae hatch, they find an unlucky invertebrate host and repeat the cycle. But be not concerned: Horsehair worms cannot infect vertebrates like humans and their pets.

Nor can fungi in the genus Cordyceps , despite what you may have seen on the post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us . The series is set decades after a fungal infection has caused a pandemic and the collapse of society. Yes, another zombie apocalypse.

There are many species of Cordyceps , and at least one of them occurs here in Humboldt. In the 1980s, the Nature Conser-

bodies.

vancy asked me to do a survey of invertebrates at Lanphere Dunes. During the years it took to complete the survey, I would occasionally find mummified beetle larvae bearing what looked like antlers. I was pretty sure this wasn’t an experiment gone awry from the Cal Poly Genetics Department but it definitely required more research.

The larvae I found were very large, and I knew that one of the biggest insects living in the dunes was the ten-lined June beetle (Polyphylla decemlineata), which can grow to more than 1.5 inches in length. Using the beetle’s scientific name, I searched through the college library (time consuming — there was no internet in the 1980s), looking for fungal diseases of insects. I finally found Cordyceps . Interestingly, most information about the fungus related to its medicinal qualities, with very little about its natural history. Some species of Cordyceps have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for approximately 1,500 years. I was not able to identify the local Cordyceps fungus to species, but it is not the same as the medicinal Cordyceps

The antlers growing out of the beetles’ head and other parts of the body are actually reproductive structures that produce spores. The fungus consumes the beetle larva from the inside out and the reproductive structures jut out of the larva’s body to spread spores over a wide area. Like horsehair worms, some species of Cordyceps also practice “mind control” on their hosts, compelling them to climb up plant stalks so the spores can rain down on hapless potential victims below.

I hope you’ve found the natural history of these two organisms fascinating. There are many stories like this waiting to be found in your backyard or on nature walks. Look closely and see what you find. l

A HEARING on the petition will be held on June 18, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 4

For information on how to appear remotely for your hearing, please visit https://www.humboldt.courts. ca.gov/

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.
