‘Nothing Good to Say’

Thank you for the excellent Views article on Amazon in Humboldt County (“Amazon’s Negative Impact by the Numbers,” July 9, 2026). To those who want the sourced data on Amazon’s impact to local communities, read this article. It provides the sources. There is nothing good to say about the impact to our community that Amazon will incur for those living in Humboldt County. I am very tired of my friends and neighbors saying, “I have no choice but to order from Amazon for there are no local businesses that provide what I need. And shipping is free as a Prime member.” I say BS. You are part of the problem. Globalization and greed is the unpublished Amazon mantra. Check out Bezos’ recent wedding. Your orders helped pay for it. Look broader than your own personal need for a new Made in China something. Support local businesses before there are none at all here in Humboldt County. I dearly hope enough signatures were obtained to put this on the November ballot. And I dearly hope the people of Humboldt County have a broader, educated perspective than their own consumer needs and will vote to keep the Amazon business model out of Humboldt County. A bad business for Humboldt, its local businesses and the environment.

Pervasive Invasive

So much suffering pervades the world, bad news invades our mindstream. Searching for how to help

we still need ways to gain some equanimity

My way: pack a water bottle, pen and paper in an old cloth bag to sit on later, set off for a slow-paced forest walk.

Wild cucumber blooms along the path twinberry branches drape across the creek rustling ripples soothe like an old-time melody.

Banana slugs survey with long antennae climb up a twig along a fallen alder to a clump of curling leaves, where they will feast.

I ramble on up the trail, survey with my ears. Chickadees and juncos, warblers and wrens, symphony of sweetness in the canopy.

Redwoods tower above the creek while vines of English ivy climb their trunks, scouts from a foreign army that could strangle them.

Pervasive ivy, spread by birds and creeping underground, like the sorcerer’s metastasizing brooms, springs up all around.

Unable to just sit here, I pry ivy off a trunk, pull long roots through thick layers of duff and stuff the bag to haul it home.

Pull, then pause to savor this soft afternoon the shelter of recovering forest. Fill my bag with ivy and my soul with peace.

I will wage a quiet campaign to keep the groves intact, to let the big trees grow for centuries. Weeding is a peaceful way to fight.

Investing in Community

Fortuna Theater Foundation Rallies Locals to Support Reopening of a Main Street Landmark

By Griffin Mancuso

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

The Fortuna Theater, built in 1938, maintained its structural integrity after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Humboldt County in December of 2022. However, the extensive damage inside the building — caused by a ruptured sprinkler system — left the theater closed with no timeline for reopening. Three and a half years later, its list of movies with hand-placed letters sits empty and thin cracks line the exterior face upon closer inspection. None of the neon letters on the marquee light up. A notice on the front door, promising the return of the theater, has been hanging for the last two years with no update.

At the Depot Museum’s 50th birthday celebration on July 2, a table was set up across the street with a table banner

labeled “Fortuna Theater Foundation,” accompanied by a life-sized cutout of a flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz and QR codes to the foundation’s website. Fortuna local and nurse Linda Rasmussen, who manned the booth, says she realized no one was going to do anything about the theater any time soon and gathered a group of friends to create the nonprofit in 2024.

“You need to invest in our town, so it carries on into the future. You need a theater. You need something to do,” Rasmussen says. “Fortuna really has seriously no nightlife. I think part of that is losing the theater, so you need to invest in this community and one of the main ways to invest in this community is bringing our theater back. And that’s not a hard sell, let me tell Continued on next page »

you. The hard sell is getting the money.”

During the foundation’s tabling, several Fortuna residents approached to volunteer their expertise in different fields when the time comes to rebuild, ranging from engineering to film and theater design. They signed their names and contacts on a growing “skill list” on the table. Another woman came later with her checkbook to donate $100. Rasmussen added that a local company, Glass Authority, had repaired the ticket booth windows when they were vandalized.

“People here will open their hearts and wallets and work for us when it becomes the people’s theater,” Rasmussen said.

Funding the Fortuna Theater

The Fortuna Theater, along with the Eureka Theater and Arcata Theatre Lounge, were built while the Federal Theater Grant was active from 1935 to 1939. The grant was made as a part of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression to fund arts and entertainment access, resulting in the building of many Art Deco venues in small towns across the country.

David Corkill, the owner of the Cinema West chain that Fortuna Theater is currently a part of, has listed the initial price for

the theater as $1.1 million but Rasmussen says he has been communicating with the foundation about selling the theater to the nonprofit with a down payment of $200,000. So far, the foundation has raised around $5,300.

“And I still keep lobbying that owner. Come back and open it up. But he just feels it’s too small potatoes for him now,” Rasmussen says. “Somebody else needs to take that over. He is so busy. He barely gets to call me back, but he’s being responsive to us, and he gets it that we mean business, and I appreciate that.”

On March 16, the Fortuna City Council approved a Community Development Block Grant application on behalf of the foundation for up to $1 million to aid in the theater’s rebuilding. On June 1, the foundation shared an update through Facebook that the grant had been denied by the state government due to the project being considered a rehabilitation effort in addition to purchasing the building.

Rebecca Moore, vice president of the organization who also tabled at the Depot celebration, has been able to use her experience as an attorney in civil cases to help the foundation become a 501c nonprofit, apply for grants and determine the best financial route for the theater. Despite the

denial of the grant, Moore and Rasmussen remain optimistic.

“I don’t think this is a bad thing, but they did require us to hire individuals from certain groups, and we had to track that,” Moore said. “Wouldn’t it be great if, once we get ownership, some volunteers came forward and helped with some of the renovations, like the tile out front needs to be redone, and things? Well, if you get a grant from the state, understandably, they want prevailing wages paid on that work. But that adds a lot of cost. So, by having the owner finance it, we have less restrictions on what we can do.”

The foundation and Corkill are still determining which theater repairs will be done by Cinema West, and when the theater will be in proper condition to open to the public and generate revenue to pay Cinema West back. Beyond the negotiations, Moore is looking forward to the theater being returned to the hands of Fortuna residents.

“It’s the people’s theater. It belongs to the people,” Moore says. “That is very exciting, especially with what we see going on with our government … people need their own [businesses], they want their community to suit their needs, rather than an outside conglomerate.”

Spotlighting the theater

Karl Klinger’s maternal side of the family has lived in Fortuna since the 1900s and he recently discovered through a vintage photo online that his great aunt worked at the Fortuna Theater in the 50s. His mother saw the Star Wars trilogy there when it first came out in theaters and Klinger himself saw a rerun of the movies in 2022, shortly before the theater closed. He spent many nights with his parents watching movies at the Main Street venue, where he developed a love of film, along with using his brother’s camera to create skits with his cousins as a kid.

While attending Cal Poly Humboldt to study film, Klinger says he was tasked with making a documentary about a local story and the empty theater he passed on regular walks became his subject. The documentary grew beyond a class assignment for Klinger, and he worked with a department advisor to improve the video and distribute it online in June. He shifted the documentary’s focus from a personal narrative to emphasize the theater’s story and the people impacted by it.

“I think I spent way more time than I should have because I wanted this to be special,” Klinger says. “I want this to be something I worked hard on.”

Using the Fortuna Theater’s limited documentation and existing research, Klinger combed through hundreds of photos and

old footage. He also contacted the Depot Museum for more resources. While he made several attempts to get a hold of someone who could allow him inside access to get footage of the damage, he says he was unsuccessful and had to scan dozens of websites to find existing media.

“I want to show people the damage the most because I thought to myself, ‘If you [want to] convince somebody, some way, somebody should show them how they can help,’” Klinger says. “My theory was to show them damage, instead of saying, ‘This Fortuna Foundation thing was interesting because they said there’s damage,’ and stuff like that, and I couldn’t find any pictures of the inside.”

He published the documentary on YouTube on June 18 and reached out to several local media outlets for wider distribution. He also began brainstorming solutions and fundraising ideas for the theater but says he believes community involvement is equally as important as donations.

“As a local community, being there and showing up is a very big thing,” Klinger says. “There’s events in front of the theater, or events for there, we need to be there as a community of people because it is a good thing for local communities to come together in ways to just be there.”

Rasmussen says she’s seen the documentary and is hoping to post it on the foundation’s Facebook page. She describes how Klinger captured her passion for the theater well and feels like her story was listened to. She believes that Fortuna’s image and liveliness is heavily tied to the theater — and the marquee being lit up again should be high on the priority list.

“Beyond the movies, we have one little Main Street. That’s where Eureka and Arcata are different. That’s all we got. And everything about that Main Street is that theater marquee. So, I feel strongly that Fortuna really wants to reinvent itself and spruce up. Yes, you may, then you need to fix that marquee.”

The Fortuna Theater Foundation will continue to table at local events and is looking to launch a Kickstarter campaign. Community members can donate through its website and follow updates on the theater through the Save Fortuna Theatre Group Facebook page. l

Humbuggery in Humboldt

Part 2

A partial history of miracle healers, clairvoyants and con artists

By Lynette Mullen newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

In the 19th century, Americans’ fascination with the occult made fortune tellers and mediums common entertainment at fairs, lecture halls and private parties. Newspapers across the country carried stories of remarkable psychic predictions and spirit manifestations. Journalists also regularly exposed practitioners as frauds, but this did little to temper the faith of true believers.

In the 1880s, Humboldt County was more than 24 hours by steamer from any metropolitan port. Residents seeking advice from clairvoyants or contact with the dead could send $2 to mystics like the so-called Professor Cohen through the mail and get “valuable help and wonderful advice” mailed back in return. When supposed spiritualists and healers rolled into the county in person to capitalize on curiosity, grief, illness and desperation, residents turned out and paid up. Medium Elsie Reynolds and later the Great Fer-Don, a sham practitioner of “bloodless surgery,” cashed in, offering spectacle and false hope.

Elsie Reynolds

Elsie Reynolds arrived in Humboldt in September of 1884. After giving a quick demonstration in the Eureka, she spent a week in Ferndale plying her trade. Most mediums at the time claimed to communicate with the dead through raps, knocks or other sounds. In Reynolds’ seances, spirits were said to enter the room. Believers in the afterlife were convinced she was genuine. Skeptics had their doubts. When Reynolds returned to Humboldt in 1885, with a national reputation and multiple fraud allegations, many residents were still eager to see her.

Reynolds was born around 1835 and moved with her family to Oregon in the

early 1850s. After her marriage ended, she became a “celebrated spiritualist.” By 1878, she was conducting public séances in Sacramento, inviting doubters to watch spirits fly through the air. A year later, she had a parlor in San Francisco and offered readings, lectures and demonstrations throughout the country. Fraud accusations followed her. During a San Francisco séance in 1880, an attendee reached for a “materialized” spirit and caught a bundle of rags. In 1883, George Parsons, former editor of the Sacramento Daily Union , denounced Reynolds after learning that what he’d initially believed was the spirit of his deceased daughter was instead a paid actress. In Brooklyn, investigators discovered masks and other stage props with her séance equipment. Reynolds maintained her innocence. She insisted that any deception that happened was caused by evil spirits who possessed her while she was unconscious.

She returned to Humboldt on the heels of a national story, often told mockingly, about her staging a “ghost wedding” on behalf of a wealthy widow. The ceremony was to wed the spirit of the woman’s dead daughter — now grown in the afterlife — to a ghost prince in a room full of mortal and immortal guests.

When Reynolds joined Ferndale’s annual spiritualists camp in the summer of 1885, many called her a fraud and participants pushed to have her ejected. Instead, she held readings and seances in a temporary “shanty” until the fi nal day of the 10-day meeting, when an impromptu committee decided that something should be done to punish the impostor. At their urging, J. T. Robarts swore out a complaint accusing Reynolds of obtaining money under false pretenses. Witnesses would swear they’d seen her change clothes before emerging

from a cabinet as a spirit. Others swore they had proof of fraud.

But Reynolds also had defenders, many likely clinging to the belief that encounters with their departed loved ones, at least, had been real. Rather than pit the two factions against one another and risk what the editor of The Ferndale Enterprise predicted would be “the hard feelings which it was bound to engender between hitherto good friends,” and give her additional publicity through a public trial, Robarts was persuaded to drop the charges.

Farmer E. A. Hamner then stepped forward. Hamner was a long-time Humboldt County resident and a fi rm believer in spiritualism but declared Reynolds a fake. He accused her (and initially her husband, though those charges were dropped) with obtaining money under false pretenses. At the preliminary hearing, Hamner testified that he had paid 50 cents to see Reynolds materialize spirits. Instead, he watched her dim the lights, slip behind a curtain, change her clothes and emerge as “manifestations.”

The defense argued that Hamner had never witnessed a true materialization and was unqualified to distinguish a fake spirit from the real thing. Hamner was also forced to concede that he had not heard Reynolds say during the séance that a spirit had descended to earth and taken possession of her body.

AWARDS PARTY

In newspaper coverage of the case, Hamner was quoted as saying that his faith in the afterlife had been shaken and that, even if spirits could materialize, “he did not think they would look like Mrs. Reynolds.” Reynolds’ defenders insisted Hamner could not have seen into the cabinet. Others suggested he was motivated by resentment after the restaurant he opened at the spiritualist camp failed to attract customers. The prosecution pressed ahead. After a spirited courtroom exchange that included the defense attorney calling the proceedings “a farce” that the district attorney would recognize if he had “the intelligence of an ordinary 14-year-old schoolboy,” the trial was scheduled for September. Meanwhile, the controversy continued. The Ferndale Enterprise reported losing subscribers after suggesting Reynolds was a fraud — and gaining even more for calling her out.

In September, Reynolds returned to Humboldt for trial only to have the charges dismissed at the prosecution’s request. The Times-Telephone praised the decision, insisting taxpayers should not pay to differentiate between genuine and fraudulent mediums. The Ferndale Enterprise editor, on the other hand, believed it had become “a notorious fact among the profession of tricksters and shams that Humboldt County is the place for a harvest.” He had hoped the expense of a prosecution would be a “costly lesson” for Reynolds and discourage other “impostors” from practicing “humbuggery” in Humboldt. The dropped charges had avoided the possibility of convicting Reynolds and devastating community members who believed she had helped them communicate with dead loved ones.

Following the dismissal, Judge Kimball hosted a farewell reception for Reynolds at his private residence. The Western Watchman reported that 50 or 60 community members “in material bodies” attended, accompanied by an unknown number of invisible (spiritual) guests. Over the years, newspapers continued to report stories accusing Reynolds of fraud. None of them ended her career.

The Great Fer Don

On July 30, 1908, the Weekly Humboldt Times reported that 4,000 people had recently crowded into a vacant lot at Fourth and I streets to see “traveler, lecturer and philanthropist” the Great Fer-Don. Eurekans were treated to musicians, comedians and acrobats before Fer-Don took the stage. He then told the crowd that he had gathered a team of the world’s finest medical experts who could make the deaf hear, the lame

walk and the chronically ill well again. Most compelling, he said his doctors could remove tumors and treat disease without surgery. Despite the improbability of “bloodless” cures, at least some desperate Humboldt County residents believed him. After growing up in Illinois, James M. Ferdon went to work for the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co.’s traveling “Indian Combination.” They attracted audiences with free entertainment: war dances, lectures and performances by men billed as scouts and Indian fighters. Between acts, promoters sold patent medicines like Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, billed as a Native remedy for everything from malaria to stomach trouble. Local newspapers reinforced the pitch with half-page advertisements and testimonials, including one signed by W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), declaring Kickapoo Indian Remedies “indispensable.”

Ferdon paid attention and soon struck out on his own, traveling from town to town as “Electric Bill.” As Bill, he drew crowds with jokes and stunts before selling inexpensive electric belts marketed to cure constipation, back pain and more. Newspapers criticized his methods, but Ferdon was, as one story stated, “a slick looking chap with brown hair and soulful eyes, and he possessed a smile that was child-like and bland.” He usually left each town with cash. The work was profitable but depended on Ferdon himself to generate revenue.

Throughout August of 1908, Humboldt County and Stockton papers ran promotions for the Great Fer-Don’s nightly shows, with Eurekans’ testimonials mid-month. It appears Ferdon may have capitalized on his name with a double. It’s unclear if Humboldt County saw the original or a fake fakir. Newspapers.com

By 1898, he joined H.L. Berry to launch the Quaker Medicine Co. This allowed him to combine his crowd-building techniques with product sales that could generate revenue long after he left town. Ferdon claimed to be a Quaker (they had a reputation for being trustworthy) and traveled across the U.S. and as far as Hawaii. In between free entertainment, Ferdon pitched remedies guaranteed to cure paralysis, blindness and other ailments.

After Berry became mired in a libel suit in 1903, Ferdon toured with “Loo Wah, the Chinese Wonder-Worker,” while selling remedies that cured deafness in minutes (clearly a common concern) and allowed those hobbled by stiff joints to throw away their canes. After Loo Wah, Ferdon returned to the Quaker bit as Brother Paul. He was repeatedly charged with disturbing the peace with his disruptive street corner spieling, as well as practicing (and selling) medicine without a license. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he became adept at legal defense. In Chicago, state health officials finally imposed $1,700 in fines. Ferdon negotiated a $500 settlement and, by then married, left the east.

The now “Great Fer-Don” traveled the western states, offering patent medication at a dollar a bottle (or six for $5) that purportedly cured everything from kidney disease to rheumatism. His pain relievers went for 50 cents (or six bottles for $2.50). He also assembled a team of supposedly licensed physicians who promised to remove tumors, gallstones and cancers without surgery. At a time when infections like sepsis and gangrene made even successful operations dangerous, promises of “knife-

less” procedures were irresistible. Ferdon may have been a quack, but he was a masterful marketer. By the time he’d reached Eureka in 1908, he had perfected his approach. He placed ads in local newspaper formatted like news stories. The first usually ran a few weeks prior to his arrival and profiled him as an “odd character” — a world traveler, lecturer, humanitarian and friend of the poor. A second announced Ferdon’s impending arrival, promising “a barrel of fun.” Ferdon’s entrance, according to more paid ads anyway, was grand, including a band, parade and public celebration designed to attract attention and build a crowd. Later “articles” described him as selfless and prolific philanthropist who treated children to free entertainment. He sometimes published “interviews” praising a town and predicting future prosperity. FerDon’s stories were clearly embellished but his performances were popular. After young Jimmy Larkin was arrested for petty larceny, Eureka’s police court judge chastised his mother for leaving her home and son “sadly neglected” while she went off to enjoy the medicine man’s free shows.

Ferdon rented space at 311 F St. in Eureka. Between musical acts, jugglers, and comedians, he gave away medicines, tossed coins into the audience and invited anyone suffering from toothaches, backaches, cancer and other illnesses to visit his office for a free consultation. Many of Eureka’s laboring men and women with little access to affordable medical care took advantage of the offer. During consultations, people were often “diagnosed” with ailments that sup-

posedly required special treatments or proprietary medicines. Ferdon and his experts also recommended “bloodless surgery” for gallstones, tumors and cancer. In special cases, Ferdon agreed to waive the fee, up to $75, if a patient underwent the procedure in front of an audience. That summer, however, a Stockton woman reported that after agreeing to a “knifeless” operation on stage, Ferdon cut her tumor off with scissors. Ferdon denied the allegation.

While in Humboldt, Ferdon published testimonials from supposedly satisfied Eurekans: Fer-Don had restored hearing to Mr. Hitchings right ear; he resolved, Mr. F. Adorni’s obscure and undisclosed “complaint that all local physicians pronounced incurable”; and he apparently saved a visiting Miss Austa Metsala’s life using a “bloodless” treatment for gallstones. Whether Metsala was who she claimed to be, or ever had gallstones, was impossible to confirm.

Ferdon also claimed to have bloodlessly removed a tumor from Dr. Edward Goyer, described as a prominent physician with a successful Eureka practice. In reality, Goyer had abandoned his medical practice years prior due to “nervousness” and would face a murder charge in 1913 following a botched abortion (“Humboldt’s Grisly History of Illegal Abortions,”Jan. 19, 2023). Nevertheless, Ferdon reprinted Goyer’s endorsement in newspapers across California. At least two more of Ferdon’s Humboldt County endorsers lost their property to foreclosure within two years of their testimonials.

Within weeks of Ferdon’s arrival, appalled local businessmen fed up with the man’s shady tactics petitioned the Eureka council to raise the city’s $5 license fees for traveling vendors, hoping to drive the man out of town. The council immediately passed a new ordinance, though it would not come into effect for 30 days. It stated:

“Every traveling merchant, hawker, peddler, or vendor, street fakir or advertiser, who sells or advertises goods, wares, or merchandise of any kind, patent or other medicines of any kind, or any profession or professional calling, by music, singing, dancing, jugglery, tricks, sleight of hand, buffoonery, gymnastics, or by spectacular plays, shows or performances, or by speeches, declamation or oratory, or by any performance intended to draw a crowd to the person so selling or advertising aforesaid, shall pay a license tax of $50 per day.”

After the ordinance passed, Ferdon published a newspaper “interview,” declaring it targeted and unconstitutional. He accused jealous local physicians of spearheading the move and offered $10,000 to anyone who could duplicate his experts’ “bloodless sur-

gery” and cure cancer, appendicitis or other diseases without an operation, which was, of course, impossible.

On Aug. 22, while the Daily Standard continued to run the Great Fer-Don’s advertisements, the Eureka Californian denounced him as a fraud, accusing the man of writing his patients’ testimonials. It also published a sworn statement from a Russ slaughterhouse butcher who claimed he had supplied Ferdon with the same tapeworm the showman later displayed on stage as a parasite his medicine had helped a local woman expel. The butcher said it came from a sheep.

Ferdon weathered the allegations and remained another week, boarding a steamer south just as the $50-a-day license fee took effect. Despite collecting hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars from people in the county that October, a Humboldt resident attending one of Ferdon’s Oakland shows heard the showman describe Eureka as “one of the most unprogressive and uncivilized communities in the state.” Ferdon advised his audience to stay away. l

Bye Bye, Badman

By Collin Yeo setlist@northcoastjournal.com

I’m going to keep this brief because I am worn out. A little too much fun and sundown by the riverside over the weekend has caught up with me and I am tapped out. All work and no play might make one dull, but I’m not exactly feeling sharp at the moment either. There’s probably a balance to be struck with this kind of stuff, but I am not the person to ask about that today. Sorry folks, there just isn’t any juice in the tank.

I would like to briefly mention that Sam Neill was an incredible actor and Bonnie Tyler had an amazing voice and we are much poorer as a species now that they have passed away. The same cannot be said for certain senators, who seem to have been born wearing out their welcome and spent their lives ruining ours. I won’t pollute this space with any names because they don’t deserve that and neither do you. Have a wonderful week.

Thursday

Yagody is a Ukrainian folk quartet composed of four women of varied musical tastes who coalesce under a banner of song made up of pure homage and love to their motherland. If you’re interested in active sounds from Ukrainian folk traditions old and new, swing by the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 8 p.m. ($25).

Friday

The Wild Hare Tavern is the place to be tonight if you are in the mood for some OG Humboldt weirdness and goodness. Ask Sophie is joining forces with Fred and Wilma , aka Peggy Martinez and Jeff Kelley in their project that runs across the universe of 20th century sounds and styles. This all tees up some fine and silly shenanigans from Brett the Truck , which is local caterer and man-about-town Brett Shuler’s long-running rock project from back in the day. The fun starts around 8 p.m. and it’s only $5 at the door.

Saturday

If you didn’t score Northern Nights tickets and are feeling a little bit of FOMO, turn that into FAFO for free at the Miniplex at 9 p.m., where some local DJs are getting together to reimagine the music from their favorite anime films. The show is billed as Neo Tokyo Arcata 3026, and will feature tracks re-tuned and curated by the likes of WRYE , Pretty Soldier, Octoshmoto, Doctor Foxmeat, Damnit Dave and Weirdest Mike

Sunday

The Eureka Chamber Music Series is featuring one of its free concerts at the Sequoia Park Gazebo at 11 a.m. The program is called Bach Under the Canopy, which gives a pretty decent idea of what to expect.

Monday and Tuesday

Vox Aurea is a Finnish youth choir who will be visiting our community to share their song at Christ Episcopal Church at 4 p.m. on both Monday and Tuesday. That alone would be reason enough to have a gander, but the plot thickens when you take a look at the program. The choir will be performing Echoes of Eureka , an opera by Bay Area composer and conductor Eric Tuan , about the violent expulsion of more than 300 Chinese immigrants from Eureka in 1885. The story centers around a teenager named Charley Wei Lum, a real person who lived through that horrific event and narrowly escaped being lynched due to the intervention of the Reverend Charles Huntington, a local priest. The seven-act choral opera features additional libretto work by the author Emily Jiang and poet Daryl Ngee Chinn, and each performance will be followed by

a question-and-answer interview session with Vox Aurea, facilitated by Jean Pfaelzer, who wrote Driven Out: The Forgotten War Against Chinese Americans about the purging of Chinese immigrants in the Pacific Northwest. There is no charge for tickets, but donations are happily accepted.

Wednesday

The Humboldt Folklife Festival is up and running again, and tonight is a celebration of bluegrass and beyond. If that is of interest to you, roll by Dell’Arte at 6 p.m. for tunes in the key of the Compost Mountain Boys , A Banjo Makes 3 and the ever-excellent Hobohemia Tickets are $15 for the general public, but you can shave $5 off that price if you are a member of the Humboldt Folklife Society.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT CONGRATULATIONS

TO KYLE CLINE ON HIS PROMOTION TO MEAT DEPARTMENT MANAGER AT THE WESTWOOD MURPY’S MARKET!

Next time you stop by the meat department at the Westwood Murphy’s Market, give a big hello and maybe a “congratulations” to Kyle Cline.

Kyle has been part of the Murphy’s Markets family since 2016, building his career through hard work, dedication, and a passion for quality. Born in Reno, Nevada, Kyle has lived in Humboldt County for most of his life after his family relocated here when he was young. Today, he brings nearly a decade of experience to his new role as Meat Department Manager at Murphy’s Westwood store. “I started out as a meat cutter at the Sunny Brae store,” Kyle says. Since then, he has worked in the meat departments at all five Murphy’s locations, gaining valuable experience and developing strong relationships with coworkers and customers along the way.

Kyle credits Murphy’s easygoing work culture and family atmosphere for making it such a rewarding place to work. Many of his coworkers have become close friends, and he takes pride in the quality of the products Murphy’s o ers. “I really appreciate the quality of what we do here, and the skill and e ort behind it,” he says.

One of Kyle’s most memorable experiences came while working at the Trinidad store during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the community relied heavily on Murphy’s to keep shelves stocked and families supplied.

As he begins his new leadership role, Kyle is grateful for the opportunities Murphy’s has provided. “I appreciate all our customers. It’s a pleasure serving everybody, and I look forward to continuing to provide great customer service for years to come.”

Schnabel’s Inferno

In the Hand of Dante

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

IN THE HAND OF DANTE. It can be reflexive — instinctive, even — when confronted with a grand-to-grandiose work, especially one that spans genres as quickly as it does centuries, to dismiss it as muddled, misguided or unaware of its own intentions. But this reaction dismisses the work’s substance, the meaning that compels the artist to undertake the ultimately futile effort of rendering it unto us. The inverse reaction, then, is to praise the work as greater than our understanding, bestowed by some elevated, ephemeral mind animated by an intelligence and inspiration beyond our capacity to grasp. On one hand, we misunderstand the divine spark. On the other, we perceive the artists’ fundamental misunderstanding, their hubris. Either way, we simultaneously elevate and denigrate the work as something other, a mistake of fate or craft.

From what little I know about Julian Schnabel, I think he enjoys confounding the audience with this contradictory confluence; maybe the late Nick Tosches did, too.

In the Hand of Dante, adapted from Tosches’ 2002 novel by Schnabel and Louise Kogelberg, could fairly be criticized as pretentious, overreaching and abstrusely self-congratulatory. Like most of Schabel’s

movies — The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) being the best-received and most conspicuous outlier — it concerns itself primarily with art and artists, pointedly contrasting the work of a tortured poet from almost a millennium past with the crass, avaricious pursuit of his work in the early 20th century.

In New York City, just before 9/11, a fictionalized Tosches (Oscar Isaac), beset by the vagaries of commerce and a self-described transcendent mind, is tapped by an underworld figure (John Malkovich) to retrieve and authenticate the original, handwritten manuscript of The Divine Comedy. Accompanied by a sociopathic functionary (Gerard Butler), he makes his way to Sicily, takes possession of the document and sets off a bloodbath. Motivated as much by greed as literary reverence, he fi nds himself at the intersection of organized crime and art history. Much like Dante (Isaac again) himself, as the movie would have it, albeit 900 years earlier.

The movie intercuts, sometimes successfully, the excommunication and subsequent (divine?) inspiration of the poet with the 20th century journalist/novelist’s struggle to survive the circumstances of his employ-

ment and enrich himself in the process.

Regardless of one’s personal veneration (or lack thereof) for Dante’s work, it must be acknowledged as one of the fundamental texts, a primary influence on all of the literature to follow (at least all of that stemming from the Judeo-Christian/European/ white tradition) and, most germane to the plot at hand, an (almost) priceless historical artifact. So, when Tosches/Schnabel cast their protagonist in the mode of the Urauthor, we are presented with the primary narrative conflict of the piece, or at least of our reception thereto. Do we buy it? Do we accept it with or without irony? Do we even understand it as it is intended? Answering only for myself, I really can’t say.

Schnabel, the weird aesthete, certainly has a way with the camera. His sense of light and space and color (the 13th century sections are deeply saturated, the 20th starkly black and white) imbue his work with artist’s intention, while eschewing overly precious composition. As such, his movies are illuminated by an artistic force that, sometimes to their own detriment, can overpower their efforts at storytelling, but maybe that’s the point. In this case the story at hand, both grittily immediate and impossibly fanciful, would seem to suit the director’s sense of the image in motion, contrasting the contemporary/profane with the ancient/beatific, all heroically lit but photographed in a decidedly modern mode. The juxtaposition is fascinating to observe, while perhaps not entirely effective.

The difficulty inherent in sitting with The Hand of Dante, to me, lies in its refusal to help us contextualize it, which may well be the point. Its abrupt violence, almost cartoonish in situ , never really equals the delicacy with which it approaches Dante’s faith and devotion to art. And so, when the narrative forces those strands to cohere, the result is neither as dissonant nor as harmonious as seems it should be.

John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

NOW PLAYING

BACKROOMS. Trippy horror in which a man (Chiwetel Ejiofor) slips into another dimension via a furniture store basement, followed by his therapist (Renata Reinsve). Everything Must Go edition with bonus footage. R. 105M. BROADWAY.

BAD COUNSELORS. Frat bros (Matt Cornett, Ramon Reed) serve community service punishment as counselors at a Christian camp. PG13. 100M. BROADWAY.

EVIL DEAD BURN. Non-Raimi sequel about a young widow (Souheila Yacoub) already going through it when things turn wall-crawling zombie. R. 110M. BROADWAY.

THE INVITE. One couple (Pénelope Cruz, Ed Norton) sees a much more awkward couple (Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde) in the building and really loves their vibe. R. 107M. BROADWAY.

MINIONS AND MONSTERS. More animated workplace adventure with the little yellow henchmen. PG. 90M. BROADWAY. MOANA. Live action remake of the Disney animated musical. Starring Catherine Laga’aia and Dwayne Johnson in a wig with beachy waves. PG. 115M. BROADWAY, MINOR.

OBSESSION. A man makes a doomed wish for a woman’s love and it turns out to be a curse with zero chill. R. 108M. MINOR.

THE ODYSSEY. Matt Damon takes a boatload of Greeks on a 20-year Dunkin run in director Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic. R. 108M. BROADWAY, MINOR.

SUPERGIRL. Milly Alcock stars as the hard-drinking superhero dog lover. PG13. 107M. BROADWAY.

So. This thing is big (150 minutes) and sprawling and confrontationally self-contradictory, beautiful to look at but equally frustrating to take in. It isn’t successful in the sense that it answers any of the questions its subtext poses, nor does it seem to enjoy our potential frustration. But it is unrepentantly itself: a pious, heretical examination of the troubling interstices of culture and business across the centuries. That it lacks what feels like a necessary sense of irony may be a failing on the part of the recipient, or a fundamental flaw.

But it’s got Martin Scorsese as an old wizard/cleric with a giant beard, and that’s not nothing. R. 150M. NETFLIX. l

TOY STORY 5. The emotional masochism of letting Woody and Buzz open our childhood wounds every few years. PG. 105M. BROADWAY.

YOUNG WASHINGTON. Well, if you were ever going to try making this violent enslaver of men, women and children look heroic, at least by comparison, now’s the time. PG13. 125M. BROADWAY.

Joan Sanborn

Oct 2, 1927 - July 2, 2026

It was difficult not to be joyful when you were with her.

Joan Dempsey Sanborn was born on October 2, 1927, on the Baie de Chaleurs, the north shore of New Brunswick, Canada, to Wilbur and Mildred Dempsey.

As the middle child of thirteen, Joan attributed her small stature to being “squished from both sides”. She grew up on a subsistence farm — plow horses, milk cows, root cellar, and lots of chowder — and no electricity or cars.

When she was sixteen, the priest was called to perform the last rites for Joan. Fortunately, her older sister Sarah, who lived in Maine, took her to a doctor in Portland — with a hefty dose of iron she was instantly alive and lively. Staying in Maine, Joan lived with her Aunt Mary, finished high school, then worked in a Blue Cross/Blue Shield office.

While in Portland High School, she met her future husband, Warren Sanborn. Many of their dates were trips on his Indian motorcycle. Unfortunately, he was Protestant. When her very Catholic aunt and mother asked her if she “had to get married”, Joan was quite aware of what that euphemism meant, and merely translated it to the language of her own heart. She answered, “Yes I do”.

One of her sisters told her, “Joan, whatever you put your hands to, you do well”. She often made clothes for her young children. She learned upholstery on her own by dismantling old furniture — and when she finally took a class she was asked to help teach it. She knitted, sewed and quilted. And when there was physical work to be done, she didn’t want to stop until it was all finished.

Joan and Warren raised three wonderful boys (one of them is writing this, so take it with a grain of salt) — and, in case you are wondering, the first arrived 11 months after they were married. They moved to Norwalk, California, late in 1963 and later to Long Beach. Warren started his own dental lab, Joan was a housewife/ child-raiser. Warren became a lawyer and Joan an antique shop owner, and then a front office worker for Long Beach City Schools.

She was a fun mother! Joan wrestled, she cuddled, she rode with her kids on sleds and bicycles, she got down on the floor with the kids and all of their friends to play games, she went skinny-dipping, she put on wool socks to slide across newly waxes floors.

After Warren’s untimely death in 1997, Joan remade her life with a move to Arcata to be near her son Alan and his family. She took classes at HSU, joined a writing group and a quilting group. She spent summers at a house she bought back near her family home on the Baie de Chaleurs. With her buddy Paul Llewellyn, she took camping trips to Arizona, up the Pacific Coast and across the country to her Canadian home. At 85, for a month she hiked to the highest point in almost all of Maine’s counties and swam in two different lakes each day.

Joan could not sit still. She never met a stranger. She loved to be the center of attention and she had a shaky sense of boundaries. She approached everyone as if they couldn’t help but love her. As her very slow-moving dementia progressed, all of those attributes only got stronger — which wasn’t always helpful. But she was very graceful in accepting her declining capabilities.

Clare Bugenig passed away peacefully on July 4, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family after a courageous four-and-a-half-month battle following a spinal cord injury. He was 71 years old. Always a firecracker in life, it was somehow fitting that Clare went out with a bang.

Clarence “Clare” Ross Bugenig

April 13, 1955 –July 4, 2026

School, he helped lead the Wildcats to back-to-back North Coast championship football teams in 1972 and 1973, earning numerous All-County honors while playing for Coach Carlson. He graduated from Ferndale High School in 1973.

Some of the family’s best memories were spent branding cattle, shipping calves, horseback riding at the ranch, skiing at Mount Shasta, taking trips to Disneyland and Great America, and simply enjoying time together. Clare was deeply involved in his children’s lives, coaching youth basketball and football for many years and rarely missing their games. True to form, every game was usually followed by a detailed review of what they could have done just a little better—a tradition his children came to appreciate as one of the many ways he showed his love.

Earlier this year, they crossed another item off their bucket list by seeing John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival in Las Vegas on New Years Eve. More than anything, Clare will be remembered for the way he lived. He was hardworking, fiercely loyal, ready to give someone a nickname or “clarify” them with a quick witted remark, never afraid to tease someone he cared about, and always willing to lend a hand. He loved his family, his friends, his community, and the ranching life.

And she drank tea — black tea, a little milk, no sugar — cup after cup every day. And she played cards — any game, any time. And she had a smile for you and a twinkle in her eye until her very last days.

Joan is survived by sons Alan (and Lisa), Neal (and Julie) and Scott (and Sue); grandchildren, Schuyler, Melanie, Philip, Andrew, Liam and Aoife; greatgrandchildren Averhy and Eden. If anyone would want to make a donation in her name, please consider doing so to Frye’s Care Home or Hospice of Humboldt.

Clare was born on April 13, 1955, in Eureka, California, to Francis and Phyllis (Perry) Bugenig. He grew up alongside his siblings Marilyn Philipps (Jon), Bobbe Steinbrecher (John), Lawrence “Lou” Bugenig (Brandi), Mary Jane Kunz (Alan), Nancy Hawes, and his late brother Jerry Bugenig. Growing up, Clare loved spending time with his family at the Perry Ranch in Blocksburg, a place that remained close to his heart throughout his life. Some of his fondest childhood memories were made there, working cattle, riding horses, and enjoying the ranching lifestyle. He participated in 4-H, raising sheep and steers that he proudly sold at the Humboldt County Fair. He also loved attending gymkhanas with his family, where his dad, Francis, hauled the kids and horses from event to event. Clare was always the littlest cowboy on the biggest horse, named Hornet.

Clare attended Ferndale Elementary School, where he made quite an impression on his teachers, and Principal Charlie Lakin, who reportedly introduced him to the infamous “Big Bertha” paddle on more than one occasion.

After high school, Clare attended College of the Redwoods before transferring to California Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, where he graduated in 1978 with a degree in Agricultural Business. Following college, Clare worked for Tooby Brothers in Fairfield before returning to Humboldt County. He worked for Production Credit Association alongside Jim Rice and later for the Bank of Loleta under Bruce Roberts. In 1979, he returned home to help his parents, Francis and Phyllis, with the Perry Ranch cow-calf operation. Around 1995, he began purchasing the cattle herd from his parents, continuing the ranching tradition he loved. He also spent many years assisting his father-in-law, Gerald Genzoli, with artificial insemination through American Breeders Service, building lasting friendships with many local dairymen. From 2002 until 2009, Clare co-owned Humboldt Fence Company with Russ Renner before later working alongside Carlos Alejandre at Windy Point Fence Company.

Clare’s love of sports never faded. After high school, he continued playing city league basketball for decades, finally “retiring” from senior league competition in his fifties.

One of Clare’s greatest commitments to the community was his service to the Humboldt County Fair. He joined the Fair Board in 1986 and faithfully served for 37 years, including serving as Board President from approximately 2002-2003. He cared deeply about preserving the fair and its agricultural traditions for future generations.

During the final months of his life, Clare was overwhelmed by the incredible love shown to him. Countless friends and family members visited, prayed, encouraged him, and reminded him just how deeply he was loved. Those acts of kindness brought great comfort not only to Clare, but to all who loved him.

Another passion of his was the Sonoma County Trailblazers, where he spent nearly 45 years participating in annual trail rides. Those who rode with Clare know that every trip came with laughter, unforgettable stories, lifelong friendships, and more than a little harmless debauchery.

Clare is survived by his wife, Cindy Bugenig; his children, Ann Marie Tyrrell (Brian) and Adam Bugenig (Molly); his grandchildren, Reece Lozoya (Vincent), Ryder Tyrrell, Payton Clarence BugenigChase, Madelynn Darst, Francis and Tilly Bugenig; his greatgrandchildren, Milo and Kailani Lozoya; his siblings Marilyn Philipps (Jon), Bobbe Steinbrecher (John), Lawrence Bugenig (Brandi), Mary Jane Kunz (Alan), and Nancy Hawes; along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Clare married Teresa Genzoli in 1977. They enjoyed vacationing with their good friends George and Tina Toste and Steve and Debbie Renner and their families.

Sports became one of Clare’s lifelong passions. He excelled in football, basketball, and other athletics throughout grammar school and high school. As a defensive back for Ferndale High

Teresa and Clare welcomed two children, Ann Marie in 1982 and Adam in 1986—two of the greatest joys of his life. He was immensely proud of both of them.

In June 2017, Clare married Cindy Olsen, whom he met while serving together on the Humboldt County Fair Board. It was a classic scenario of “Country Boy” and the “City Girl.” Clare was outgoing while Cindy was shy, and together they learned to appreciate each other’s worlds. They shared a love for the San Francisco Giants, the 49ers, and traveling together. Their adventures took them on American Cruise Lines throughout the South, where Clare especially enjoyed touring Graceland. Cindy also introduced Clare to her love of disco cruises. Clare enjoyed having a drink with Kool & the Gang and the Village People.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Francis and Phyllis Bugenig, and his brother, Jerry Bugenig.

Clare leaves behind a legacy of laughter, hard work, service, friendship, and family. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 9, 2026 at 2:00pm at @The Barn by Fernbridge at 26 Goble Lane in Ferndale, CA. Memorial contributions may be made to the Clare Bugenig Scholarship Fund/Humboldt County Fair at 2439 “S” St., Eureka,California 95501.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The Briceland Fire Protection District will host a public meeting on Monday July 27, 2026 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at the Briceland Fire Station, 6155 Briceland-Thorn Road, Briceland. The purpose of the meeting is to answer the District residents’ questions regarding a parcel tax increase due to rising costs.

The parcel tax which was approved by 85% of the District voters in August 2012 included pre-approval of an annual cost of living increase tied to the Consumer Price Index, but no greater than 5% per year.

The District proposes to increase the tax by 3.6% in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, from $104.46 to $108.22. This increase is based on the rate of inflation at the end of the fiscal year as determined by the California State Department of Finance.
