Centro del Pueblo Offers Helping Hand with Health Fund
By Griffin Mancuso newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
An undocumented mother in Humboldt County needed to take her 2-year-old daughter to a medical appointment in San Francisco, but she couldn’t bring herself to make the journey. The thought of what could happen gave her panic attacks. She might get questions about her insurance. If she reached out for transportation, she could be asked about her legal status. Any person she talked to could jeopardize her safety. Her daughter could be taken away from her.
After hearing her story, Centro del Pueblo’s Executive Director Brenda Perez realized the innate fear felt by many members of Humboldt’s immigrant community following the 2016 election had revived under President Donald Trump’s return to office.
“The separation of families is playing the biggest role right now [in] impacting our mental health, so accessing other places is out of the map for our communities,” Perez said.
Centro del Pueblo’s new health fund,
Mano Amiga-Helping Hand, launched July 1 as a part of the nonprofit advocacy group’s health and wellness services. Along with providing grants to help cover emergency medical needs in the undocumented community, the fund also helps approved applicants with access to food, transportation to medical appointments, translation services and accompaniment by community members for moral support.
The initial funding was provided by an anonymous donor with concerns about

their community’s ability to access health services in Humboldt. Some of the funds have already been distributed, with about 60 percent of the original seed money still available, according to Perez. Applications can be accessed through Centro del Pueblo’s website or social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook.
“It is a small gesture of collective care in difficult moments — an act of dignity and support when it is needed most,” the Mano Amiga application form reads. “Centro del Pueblo is proud to be that helping hand, extended with both love and respect.”
On Jan. 1, 2024, California became the first state to offer Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants. That offer was rescinded at the end of June this year, when Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature agreed to freeze new enrollments for adults without documentation.
“I still have fresh in my memory when Medi-Cal was announced for everyone, and there was joy, there was celebration — a sense that we needed. The community was finally covered in an essential human right, which was health coverage,” Perez said. “That was not too long ago, and we have now these threatening images of ICE agents going to hospitals, not respecting what is supposed to be a sanctuary space.”
ICE agents have been making routine visits to medical facilities in California, according to media reports, after the Trump administration started large-scale deportation operations across the country. Humboldt County established a sanctuary ordinance in 2018, one year after Arcata, and the city of Eureka declared itself a sanctuary city back in March. However, while sanctuary laws limit what local law enforcement can share with ICE agents, they cannot prevent the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Centro del Pueblo’s Chief Financial Officer and Advanced Director William Dirks says he has seen the fear of deportation permeate every aspect of undocumented people’s lives.
“People are terrified to go to the hospital, to go to the doctor, to go to work, to take the kids to school,” Dirks said. “Any sort of thing that a citizen might think or take for granted is a source of fear or danger for the immigrant community.”
Mano Amiga’s fund coincides with Centro del Pueblo’s other advocacy programs like Know Your Rights outreach, the support group Hermana Flor, the Sanctuary Garden and its Rapid Response Network, which seeks to empower community
members to observe and document, but not interfere with, potential immigration enforcement actions in Humboldt.
“We take care of people’s mental health. We provide them with fresh food, we give them an opportunity to express themselves,” Dirks says. “And prevention is key in this area, so all our programs are intertwined to create this response that is preventative and creates opportunities for people to grow and to feel healthy.”
Perez says she considers Mano Amiga to be an intention and a vessel for collaboration between donors and the community members offering their support, with the mission of Mano Amiga extending beyond an initial contribution into a prioritization of community-based healing. She notes how a community member who received funds for a medical emergency passed away a few weeks later and Centro del Pueblo continues to follow up with and support their family members.
“Mano Amiga is not only in that case of a hospital, in that case of that sickness … because sickness affected the entire family system,” Perez says. “So the family now is going to receive all the support of our community in many, many ways.”
Dirks reports that donations are coming in to Mano Amiga and other facets of Centro del Pueblo’s outreach and services, noting he and Perez are grateful for the overwhelming support from community members and government organizations in Humboldt.
“We really appreciate how strong the community is here, and how supportive they are of everybody from diverse backgrounds and lives, and it’s been really respectful,” Dirks says.
Centro del Pueblo plans to start other health services through Mano Amiga, including doula trainings for women of color. They also hope to continue funding Mano Amiga and their other programs through fundraising events and contributions from community members. Perez urges those who want to contribute to listen to undocumented immigrants and ask how they want to receive support. She hopes that Mano Amiga will help combat the mental health impacts of the current political landscape for future generations.
“It’s unfortunate we have to face this again and again,” Perez says. “But at least Mano Amiga, at this year, is going to be something that is going to grow, and we are going to observe as a preventive, protective practice for the future.” l

Redwood Curtain Theatre’s What the Constitution Means to Me
By Doranna Benker Gilkey frontrow@northcoastjournal.com
What the Constitution Means to Me, now playing at the 5th and D Street Theatre, connects the Constitution of the United States, a cryptic, venerated document, to our everyday lives. Playwright Heidi Schreck (portrayed by Natasha Samuelson in this autobiographical show) recounts her experience to the audience as a teenager traveling the country to earn college money by participating in constitutional debate contests hosted by the American Legion to “develop a deeper appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students.” She reenacts parts of her winning speech from memory, moving between past and present.
The set is a simplified recreation of an American Legion Hall, with a double row of black and white portraits of real-life veterans looming over a podium. The stern visages watch Schreck’s every move, connecting the audience to what it must have felt like for her to talk about the constitution and the violence its allowed — even protected — to the American Legion. Part of her recreation is a moderator from the Legion (William English III), whose role is to keep time and emcee the contest. The key to winning these contests is to draw personal connections to the Constitution. Schreck gives parts of her speech as her 15-year-old self with interjections of supplementary context from her current self. She tells stories of her family history as it relates to protections and lack thereof in the Constitution. She also talks about similar (and similarly crushing) current events. It’s no secret that the Constitution was written to protect a
few, and Schreck’s stories relate how it has failed many in the face of violence against women.
By the end of the first act, Schreck has moved away from her younger self to focus on her current relationship with the Constitution, how it’s changed, and to delve deeper into what it means to live under constant threat of violence from men. English also drops his role as the Legionnaire to speak to the audience directly about the original actor’s personal experience with toxic masculinity.
The second act is structured as an abridged parliamentary debate between Samuelson and local high school debater Brooklyn Burns. English is once again a moderator, though as himself this time. The debate topic is whether we should abolish the Constitution and start over. They both have good points and at the end of the debate, they ask an audience member to choose a winner.
Looking back at our younger selves and considering how our views have been changed, or strengthened, by our experiences is an interesting approach to reviewing how the Constitution has affected us throughout our lives. This play is a monologue for Schreck to implore us to think of the Constitution as something that affects us personally, every day. Her arguments are valid and recounting her youthful enthusiasm on the subject is interesting. I did have a little bit of a challenging time feeling the differences between her younger and current selves. Schreck tells us who she was at any given time, and Samuelson gives the two versions of her character appropriately different energies. However, I didn’t feel immersed in the difference. If there was anything in the lighting or

This monologue for implore us to Constitution affects arguments youthful eninteresting. I did time feelyounger us who Samuelson character However, difference. lighting or
sound to differentiate 15-year-old Schreck from current Schreck, I missed it. English also smoothly differentiates between his Legionnaire role and himself, but I feel both actors could have been supported a bit more by the environment in their endeavors.
Schreck’s personal stories of generational violence point out that such atrocities do not happen in a vacuum. They are also not uncommon. At the heart of this play is an entreaty to take the Constitution personally, to think about it, to debate its virtues and shortcomings openly. We should do this not just to win prize
money, as young Schreck did, but to be a part of making our own world as much as we can by listening, learning and voting.
Performances of What the Constitution Means to Me at the 5th and D Street Theatre will run through Sept. 28 with Friday and Saturday shows at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. (special Masked Matinee on Sunday, Sept. 14). Visit redwoodcurtain.com. ●

The Play That Goes Wrong at Ferndale Rep
By Doranna Benker Gilkey frontrow@northcoastjournal.com
The Play That Goes Wrong went very well at Ferndale Repertory Theatre on Saturday night. In this slapstick play-within-a-play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, the Cornely Drama Society presents The Murder at Haversham Manor. The society has just exactly enough members to put on the classic murder mystery set in the English countryside during the 1920s. Their experience and talent cover a broad spectrum, as do their reactions to misplaced props, a disintegrating set and missing (or unconscious) cast members. The physical comedy, quirky characters and a stage full of props and sets function exactly as designed — meaning they barely function at all. But the Cornely Drama Society powers through tenaciously to the end, miraculously keeping the plot intact through twists and turns both planned and unplanned until the mystery is solved, and the audience can be assured nobody else will get hurt.
The cast brings their best comedic game across the board. Chris Bean (Samuel Abraham) is the leader of the Cornely Drama Society, who also plays Inspector Carter. Bean has a seriousness that grounds the comedy. He
and Robert Grove (Arnie Ellis), who plays Tomas Colleymore, hold the line against the onslaught of implausible misfortunes to the best of their abilities. Dennis Tyde (Michele Simms) plays the loyal butler Perkins. Tyde meets each obstacle with improv, problem solving and good-natured bemusement. Jonathan Harris
(Andrew Miller) plays Charles Haversham, who is a corpse during most of the play. The role proves more interactive than he anticipates. (I hope Mr. Harris has an opportunity to work on his entrances in the future.)
Max Bennet (Garrett Vallejo) is obviously a newcomer to the stage, easily distracted by the audience and often breaking from the two characters he plays: Cecil Haversham and Arthur the Gardener. He can be forgiven, I think, because his delight in the magic of theater is contagious. Sandra Wilkinson (Holly Robertson) plays the seductive leading lady Florence Colleymore. Stage manager Annie Twilloli (Meaghan Sharrard) and sound/ lighting operator Trevor Watson (Dominica “Minnie” Savant-Bunch) step in to play Florence Colleymore as needed, and occasionally even when not needed. Sadly, Mr. Fluffers III was not found in time, so nobody played Winston the Dog. Though it isn’t credited, I must acknowledge the mantlepiece. They gave a strong performance. Plays are living art with a mind of their own and no doovers. There is always something that goes “wrong” to one degree or another. It’s the relationship between the cast and crew that determines the course of the storytelling experience. The FRT cast clearly devel-

oped relationships between the Cornely Drama Society members within the frame of putting on The Murder at Haversham Manor. In this play, the only way something could go wrong is if it went right. But fortunately, nothing did. Or everything did. I’m not sure, but I’m deeply impressed by the scenic design (Carl McGaham) and prop design (Roux Kratt and Maggy Thursday Koepple). There is an art to making broken theater. This play is a great time and if you need a good belly laugh (and who doesn’t, these days?), this is the one to see.
Performances of The Play that Goes Wrong at Ferndale Repertory Theatre continue Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
through Sept. 28. Visit ferndalerep.org. ● Doranna Benker Gilkey (she/her)

Beer-flavored Beer at Pale Moon Brewing Co.
By Michael Kraft onthetable@northcoastjournal.com
Tucked away around the corner from the CVS and Safeway in Arcata, Pale Moon Brewing Co. (600 F St., Suite 7) looks nondescript from the outside. Step inside, however, and you’ll find it inviting and lovably pubby. You sit among the metal brightwork — so pretty — and have a pint or two with an old friend or maybe find a new one. While there, I ran into two guys I knew and found myself talking with a nice pair of folks I’d never met.
The crowd is genial and it’s quiet enough to talk. Owner/brewer Jeff Finn also takes pride that it’s a place where a woman can come in alone and expect to be spared untoward douchiness.
Finn began his beermaking journey as many do, home brewing. Prior to starting Pale Moon, Finn brewed for Eel River Brewing Co. and Lost Coast Brewery. He gained experience with several brewing systems at different scales and developed his share of recipes. Eventually, he says, “I wanted to take a stab at this beer thing for myself.”
As a home brewer, I’ve come to think going from making a good beer at home to launching a beer business is akin to being a good golfer and launching a country club. But Finn had the desire to give it a go and the smarts to do it intelligently. He sought out business planning help from the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and secured financing through North Edge. The company is now approaching its second anniversary.
Finn describes beermaking as very blue collar. Brew days are sweaty. You’re always cleaning something. The equipment needs maintenance.
But there’s also some artistry. For Finn, it’s a combination of waiting for the muse and maintaining the first-album energy of a good new band.
Working on the brewing line at a sizable operation generally means being isolated. They don’t let you out much. Maybe they have you meet a tour group now and then.
Now, he serves pretty much as a oneman shop. Brewing or kegging early in the morning, he serves customers at the bar in the afternoons and evenings. This newto-him public-facing aspect, he says, has
restored his faith in humanity. “I’m less cynical because I meet so many nice people doing good things,” he says. It also sometimes makes him feel vulnerable. When he developed a recipe at Lost Coast Brewery, no one out in the world associated it with him. Here, Finn’s the one guy, standing right there with you and your pint, with no place to hide.
The brews themselves are premium and mostly unadorned, classic styles executed carefully. The menu changes but generally provides two hoppy beers, two malty beers and a lager. These are all beer-flavored beers. There’s not a dragon fruit, mango or pumpkin to be found. In the current beer climate, Finn believes “there’s an avenue to just brewing the classics well.”
Despite being high-end, I appreciated that the pricing was standard and honest: $6 a pint for everything on tap the day I visited.
The straight-up pilsner presents as nuanced and clean. The West Coast pilsner adds a bright hoppiness. The red ale is malty, with a hop bite and the porter is classically brewed, with a pleasing mocha latte head that persisted.
And there was a lovely pink seltzer, hibiscus tea meets 5.4 percent alcohol, that Finn insisted I try. I must admit it has reasons to be popular, including that it manages to yield actual mouthfeel.
If there’s one brewery thing Finn dedicates himself to it’s fresh beer. This showed clearly in the IPA, which supplied the requisite hoppiness but also a subtlety that often becomes lost with time and mishandling.
In the brewing process, Finn obsesses over the details — things like temperatures, continuous refrigeration, no centrifuging, happy yeast and never ever letting the hops get stale. “I want to save every nuance,” he says. He also said something I don’t expect to hear from a commercial brewer: “Here, I’ve never brewed the same beer twice.” Not that he never would, but being able to make that small adjustment in something like the third hop addition is a benefit of nano brewing. You don’t have contracts with large retailers that lock in your recipes.
When we asked the room for ratings,
my friend Chris said, “This is my idea of beer fun.”
A bearded guy checking out at the cash register pronounced the offerings as “really good beer … really, really good beer … is that enough reallys?” (Note: there were numerous bearded guys present, which itself represents some kind of beer buy endorsement.)
With limited exceptions, Pale Moon’s brews sell entirely on site. The pub is open afternoons and evenings, Wednesdays through Saturdays. It’s a great place to pull up a stool and settle in for a while. l

Our Democracy is Crumbling Before My Eyes and Women Still Won’t Sleep with Me
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
First of all, let me just say this is not what I voted for.
In 2024, many young American men like myself were primarily concerned with our economy, immigration, geopolitical conflict and not voting for a Black lady — that’s not a race thing, by the way, because I would not have voted for a white lady who didn’t seem like she was going to take off her top, either. I wasn’t raised to see color.
But eight months into a second Trump presidency, with the National Guard taking over American cities, tariffs playing havoc with international trade, abortion bans in 41 states, a roadkill-eating anti-vaxxer setting public health policy and masked I.C.E. agents grabbing people off the streets without due process, I can’t believe I’m still not getting laid.
Listen, I have given up a lot here. Not only did I not think I was going to pay this much for eggs, I thought once we brought this country back to the 1950s, I’d never have to touch an egg, much less cook one for myself. And yet none of the guys from my online forum have experienced increased interest from females or spontaneous jawline improvement. Anecdotally, Sharon, an 8-8.5 who lives in my building, continues to hustle out of the laundry room when I come in carrying a basket full of Trump merch she could be washing if she wasn’t so shallow.
As for the immigration issue, I never wanted little kids snatched and deported. That’s monstrous. During the campaign, they made it sound like I.C.E.
would only be deporting rapists, drug dealers and the hot, tattooed Latino bad boys who can dance cumbia and are always throwing off my game. But since January, I.C.E. has deported nearly 200,000 people. Roughly half the people in custody have no criminal records. And yet I still hear cumbia coming from Sharon’s apartment sometimes.
Like 70 percent of male voters, I wasn’t happy either when Roe v. Wade was overturned. I believe in a woman’s right to choose. Just not her right not to choose me. And now that life-saving abortion care is a coin toss and ending an unwanted pregnancy or even miscarrying could get them arrested, it seems like they’re even pickier and more hung up on politics. Instead of looking past the surface to get to know you as a man, they all want a Ken doll who’s 6 feet tall or rich or funny or kind or didn’t vote against their bodily sovereignty.
Trump being an oligarch fanboy isn’t helping, either. Not that I don’t admire a bunch of dudes with the collective personality of an unsalted Pringle pulling models and lady coworkers, but it isn’t exactly trickling down. And I don’t mean the money because nobody has believed that since Reagan. Yeah, I’m still sitting on a pile of unforgiven student loans that doesn’t get any smaller no matter how many times I form a pyramid with my fingertips and create a Money Mindset. I believed in our higher ideals, our natural male role of protecting women — from threats like trans women in bathrooms, no-fault divorce and voting rights — enough to vote against my financial interests.
Simultaneously selling out Ukraine and Gaza to leave their respective people in varying humanitarian crises, though, that wracks me with guilt that can only be assuaged by the love of a good woman who’s not manipulating me to get at the money I’ll have once the aforementioned Money Mindset pays off. Or a top-of-the-line Real Doll. I’m talking about the 2027 model Elon cries on.
Is it me, or did it seem like we were turning a corner on this whole menhaving-to-be-likeable thing? We have a relatably repugnant president who surrounds himself with women whose cosmetic aesthetics could be described as “inflatable” and a cadre of consent-flexible men with similar politics and charges. Andrew Tate is the new Adam Smith and yet women don’t seem to be adjusting their new reality with any enthusiasm.
In fact, I’m watching Sharon through my blinds right now, and she’s walking out with another woman carrying pink and blue signs that read, “Protect Trans Kids.” She’s oblivious. Like the male loneliness epidemic isn’t even happening. But his signed birthday card to
Epstein is the last straw. I’ll be honest, I even put aside my deeply held convictions about the sexual exploitation of minors (the definition of which I adjust to depending on what state I’m in, though there really should be an app unless we’re going to lower it nationally to avoid confusion). I voted for this president despite his well-documented bro-ing out with Jeffrey Epstein because I believed he could deliver the dominion over women we’ve been promised since ancient times on scrolls and tablets, and most recently in podcast form. And I never even got to go to Epstein’s island.
That’s why we need to publish the list, for those of us who aren’t on it, like me. Those of us who sacrificed to become single-issue voters who mostly prefer not to state out loud what that single issue is, at least in mixed company. Because that would be crude, and we’re good guys. l

The central illusion of human existence is the idea of the individual. A singular will operating at odds, instead of at one with, collective humanity and the living world at large. One place this grand fraudulence is most obvious is in traffic jams, where huge numbers of “autonomous” persons, each operating an automobile, finds themselves trapped by a gridlock that works against the flow of universal Being. “See the world today, in your Chevrolet” is no longer a commercial invocation of freedom, but an ironic mockery of the limitations of our culture, a feral thing caged by its own libidinous excess. Enough nerdy exposition; I have, to quote Roy Batty, seen things, and I did so by traveling to the calcified Mother Brain of the American auto industry. I’m talking Michigan, from Detroit to Traverse City. I motorvated up the Motor State, and I’m back home to bitch and crow about it.
Though largely absent in my recent columns, I have to make a quick pitstop in the politics garage. Just for a bit of speedy tune-up advice for the reader: Don’t be smug or dismissive about the last election. Ignore the trope of red and blue states, particularly when talking about a swing state that went to the former party by less than 2 percent and whose fickle and depressed voters have accurately predicted the general electoral tide of the last decade or so. If 2024 was any indication, the public’s choice between a seated party refusing to lay off the gas on domestic austerity and foreign policy genocide in an effort to head-off the open fascism from the challenging party is not a good way to measure the function of a healthy democracy. That’s basically like asking people for exterior paint color preferences in a burning building where the residents are facing the choice of leaping to their doom or succumbing to the flames. There are more important things to focus on.
Like how the exotic flavors of our differences rhyme with the palate of our similarities. Many cities in Michigan pop out of the wild greenery like half-rotting monsters in found-footage horror movie jump scares, while California unrolls its population centers from Lawrence of Arabia-sized highway vistas into plastic oases designed by a Lego Satan. Humboldt is an exception to this trend, and Michigan has many of those, too.
Hamtramck, for instance, is a walkable city inside of greater Detroit, with a burgeoning immigrant Muslim population filling out the contours of a once-predominantly Polish burg named after an 18th century French Canadian soldier. The melting pot is alive and well in cozy ports just outside the spotlights of the vast strip mall archipelago.
Further ahead, Northwestern Michigan runs along the eponymous lake, with high golden dunes tufted with white pines and deciduous greenery cascading into the clear waters of a flat fresh inland sea. An American gothic remoteness that trends more towards a plein air Eyvind Earle or Edward Gorey than Grant Wood. Everything is built around enjoying the summer and enduring the winter, and there are cherry trees everywhere.
The people are a lot like the people here, different accents and driving habits notwithstanding. Generally kind, optimistic and receptive to small talk, while seeming to be psychically furrowed by the same growing panic we are all feeling at the ongoing catastrophe of having cruel, senile idiots running the ship of state. America is full of many good people being driven insane by the screaming winds from the monstrous chasm between the gentleness of our better natures and the demonic malevolence of our national character. I guess this isn’t much of a travel piece, but a quick portrait of you and I, and our friends a few time zones away. Still united across states, trying our level best not to be caught out, injected, then dissolved by the digestive juices of a Big Hungry Thing spoiling our view from lakefront to seaside. I thought this all up while navigating the post-flight gridlock of Bay Area traffic. I’m happy to be back. Go have some fun while it’s still legal.
Thursday
Treasured local poet Jerry Martien has teamed up with Fred Neighbor, Mike LaBolle and Gary Davidson, aka The Usual Suspects for an evening of music and poetry at the Arcata Playhouse. Few events are more likely to capture the glory of a certain era of our beloved home, as only its best chorus can unite and recite an encomium from the dawn to starlight and back again, so treat yourself if you are feeling the love. The show is at 7 p.m., and $18 gets you a seat in the forum.
Friday
Speaking of local treasures from a certain era, the ever-fine Barking Dogma are playing at the Wild Hare Tavern tonight at 8 p.m., where for a mere $5 you can see a Humboldt institution play some gems by Kevyn Dymond in the new skin of the old Jambalaya. Things change and the spirit endures.
If you want something more electronic for later, there’s a big DJ shindig at the Arcata Theatre Lounge starting at 9 p.m. S!ck!ck is a Toronto-based global purveyor of electronic dance music with hip hop flashes and house stylings. He will be accompanied tonight by Esch, D’Vinity, LVSTRNG and Spenny.If you feel like minting a DJ stage name for yourself, try removing the vowels and/adding some punctuation to your legal name or favorite slur. No pressure — it costs the same to get in either way, which is $50, as the advance tickets are sold out.

Let’s keep tonight quiet and undercover. Save it for another time.
Tuesday
Here’s something completely new: a free all-day and night music festival in Dean Creek Resort just north of Redway. Humgrown Music Festival starts at noon and is advertised to run through to 4 a.m. In addition to vendors, food trucks and a raffle, there will be two music stages featuring DJs and live bands, including Datura Blues, Shiny Eyes, A Banjo Makes 3, Savannah Rose, Trinket, Selecta Rex, Diablinski, Copperton3, Mendofire, Blue Rhythm Revue and many more acts. Worth a shot if you feel like grooving and/ or camping in the last gasp of summer.
Sunday
Metal comes a night early this week at Savage Henry Comedy Club, where at 7 p.m. Oakland bands Three Towers and Hypnotic Pattern will be joined by KOI and Burn Canyon for an all-ages bash that’s only $5-$10 sliding scale to enjoy and help keep the lights on at the club.
Baltimore is not the first place one associates with high-energy soul music, but singer and frontman Les Greene is putting in a bid to change that, along with his crab shell-tight band The Swayzees.If you find yourself needing an early-week pick-me-up, this funky show will keep the blues away. Swing by the Arcata Playhouse at 7:30 p.m., where $20 ($18 for members) will get your ticket to the dance.
Wednesday
As Belloq, the evil archeologist in Raiders of the Lost Ark pointed out, bury a cheap watch in the desert, dig it up after a millennium, and it becomes priceless. Music acts that stick around long enough undergo a similar process, albeit one with less time and intrigue involved. Take Atlanta’s Yin Yang Twins, for instance. If you had told me a quarter century ago they’d still be grinding into the ’20s, I’d have thought you’d stroked out on too many vodka Red Bulls. Time makes fools of us all. If you still have the itch for the music of the early millennium, roll through the Blue Lake Casino at 9 p.m. and slap down $47. Bubba Sparxxx is on the bill, too, if you want to see the primal ancestor of Jelly Roll do that country-rap crap better. ●
Collin Yeo (he/him) kinda missed writing but REALLY missed his cats.

The fresh design mixes coastal Humboldt character with plenty of space to play, climb and imagine.

Splitsville
By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com
SPLITSVILLE. In the period of relatively blissful ignorance before the plague years and the insurrection and all of that, there was a little movie called The Climb (2019), which was much buzzed about in certain movie nerd sectors. Sadly, it became one of many casualties of the closure of theaters and the rush to transition to streaming platforms. As such, I missed it and subsequently forgot to seek it out.
Cut to the present day, interior darkened theater, and a riotously funny story about a couple of misguided doofuses and their struggles to maintain romantic relationships is unspooling before us — well, me, since nobody else bought a ticket. At some point, it occurred to me that the doofuses in question could well be the creators and stars of The Climb; I wasn’t wrong.
Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin are indeed the parties responsible for both and could be the superheroes who save movie comedy.
Splitsville opens, idyllically enough, with a couple singing along to their car radio, en route to a weekend beach-house getaway. Things get romantic and then overtly sexual before taking a rather calamitous turn. This precipitates a life-changing announcement from Ashley (Adria Arjona) that Carey (Marvin) copes with by literally running away. As in, bolting from the still-running Grand Wagoneer into the coastal Northeastern countryside. Eventually, he arrives at the aforementioned house, the second home of his affluent douchebag bestfriend Paul (Covino), his wife Julie (Dakota Johnson) and their young son Russ (Simon Webster). Seeking solace and counsel, Carey learns that Paul and Julie have opened their marriage, and that Julie suspects Paul of various and sundry sexual assignations. One thing leads to another (read: sexual intercourse) and we’re off on a wine-dark slapstick adventure of coital exploration and sad-bro lamentation punctuated by what may very well be the single funniest fight sequence I have ever seen.
There is a sort of satirical magic at work here, with Covino and Marvin’s writing balancing caustic snark, emotional intelli-
gence and satirical absurdity with perfect comic timing and jokes within jokes. As actors, they commit to the bit with such tenacity, fully embodying each character’s ridiculous foibles and cruelties, that we come to love, loathe and laugh at them in equal measure. And then, on top of that formidable foundation, Covino directs with the verve and passion of a true cineaste, placing and moving the camera with the care and specificity borne of mastery of the form.
This praise might sound overly effusive, but I’m prepared to defend it. Having entered Splitsville with no preconceptions but guarded skepticism and appreciation for the work of its female leads, I was first surprised to learn that it debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. This may seem like obsequious pedigree worship, but that festival, despite its occasional misses and misreads, has established a vigorous set of standards founded in reverence for filmart and artists. To have an American sex comedy rubbing elbows with the guiding lights of world cinema, pretentious as it is, indicates a certain level of craft and care. Cannes is a shorthand, and an imperfect one, but it helps to highlight work that transcends (even disrupts, much as I hate the overuse of the word) the norm.
Having now gone back to The Climb, it is even more heartening to think of Splitsville as part of a body of work still very much in progress. The fact that “serious” filmmakers choose to pursue comedy with the same degree of personal and professional investment as those whose output is generally more lauded is and should be a source of hope in a world that, for one thing, needs comedy more than ever before (at least in my little lifetime) and, for another, should be celebrating anybody with the passion and wherewithal to see a major work of art through from conception to completion. And, perhaps even more to the point, these movies are funny as hell; I may have buried that lede. But they are, for all their absurdity, still grounded in the vagaries and inscrutable truths of the real world. The fact that our two protagonists would find themselves
married to the women they are is alone beyond ridiculous but entirely plausible, and that joke is not lost on the characters or the people playing them. The humor and horror of the piece are so delicately and hilariously intertwined, and played with such deadpan perfection, that the over-the-top interactions and explosions throb with explosive vivacity. It’s down and dirty comedy carried off with elevated intent and art. It’s got Buñuel and Lloyd in its DNA, but it can also share space with the National Lampoon movies and the top-shelf Saturday Night Live spin-offs.
Referring to art as “high and low” can be diminishing, but the language is what we have to work with and in this case it fits. There is, after all, a serious analysis of love and sexuality in the same movie that has one best friend insistent on checking another for ticks in the shower. R. 104M. l

Sketches from Humboldt’s Past
By Barry Evans fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com
There’s a working theory that within a year of residency, most newcomers are infected with a deep and abiding interest in this great place we call Humboldt.”
So starts the introduction to Steve Lazar’s The Humboldt Project Lazar’s passion is “deltiology,” the study and collecting of postcards. Over the past 15 years, thanks mostly to eBay, Steve has acquired a collection of more than 10,000 Humboldt-themed postcards. A labor of love, he makes these freely available to anyone interested in seeing through the eyes of photographers of around a century ago. Take a look at thehumboldtproject. org/s/home/item for a sample of this huge, fascinating collection.
Not just postcards. Recently, Steve gave me reproductions of several sketches of the Humboldt coast drawn in the spring of 1851 by Joseph Goldsborough Bruff (1804 – 1889), amateur artist and adventurer, professional draftsman and cartographer. Anyone who is familiar with the coast from Trinidad north will immediately know just where he was when he drew these.
hiked up to Gold Bluffs Beach (now part of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park), made many sketches along the coastline and took notes on the Yurok village of Tsurai, including making a rudimentary list of Yurok words.
Coincidentally, he was there at the same time the schooner Laura Virginia, captained by Douglass Ottinger and piloted by second officer Hans Buhne (“Booner”), made the first European crossing of a sailing ship into Humboldt Bay. That was April 14, 1851, although the bay had previously been entered in baidarkas — Aleutian kayaks — during the Winship otter-hunting expedition of 1806 (“Finding Humboldt Bay,” July 07, 2022).
Most references to Bruff refer to him as “Captain” Bruff, an informal title he acquired when he led a wagon train party of 66 men to California on the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri. In 1849, he formed the Washington City and California Mining Association, in response to James Marshall’s discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill on Jan. 24, 1848, which set off the California Gold Rush. In the spring of 1851, two years after leaving D.C., Bruff, now alone (the expedition having broken up after following Peter Lassen’s emigrant trail into northern California), landed at Trinidad, staying in the area for several weeks. He

Bruff returned to D.C. that summer, where he embarked on a long and esteemed career as an architectural designer for the U.S. Department of the Treasury. (Trivia: In 1887, when he was 83, Bruff was the oldest employee of the U.S. government.) Despite his gear being robbed on return to the capital, the sketches and journals from his trek across the country and of the Northern Californian coast survived. Columbia University Press published them in two volumes in 1949 as Gold Rush Journals & Drawings of J.G. Bruff ● Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@yahoo.com, planethumboldt.substack. com) tips his hat to Steve Lazar for inspiring this column.

PETITIONER’S NAME IS:
Chelsie Bishop
You have 30 calendar days after this Summons and Petition are served on you to file a Response (form FL-120 or FL-123) at the court and have a copy served on the petitioner. A letter, phone call or court appearance will not protect you.
If you do not file your Response on time, the court may make orders affecting your marriage or domestic partnership, your property, and custody of your children. You may be ordered to pay support and attorney fees and costs.
For legal advice, contact a lawyer immediately. Get help finding a lawyer at the California Courts Online SelfHelp Center (www.courts.ca.gov/ selfhelp), at the California Legal Services website or by contacting
your local county bar association. NOTICE-RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE ON PAGE 2:
These restraining orders are effective against both spouses or domestic partners until the petition is dismissed, a judgment is entered, or the court makes further orders. They are enforceable anywhere in California by any law enforcement officer who has received or seen a copy of them.
FEE WAIVER: If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the clerk for a fee waiver form. The court may order you to pay back all or part of the fees and costs that the court waived for you or the other party. The name and address of the court are:
Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt 825 5th Street Eureka, CA 95501
The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s attorney, or the petitioner without an attorney, are:

Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from:
• Removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court;
• Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children;

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.
NOTICE-ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE
HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www. coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506.
WARNING-IMPORTAN INFORMA-
TION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale of the Trustor’s interest will be made to the highest bidder for lawful money of the United States, payable at the time of sale in cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: REBECCA L. ARCOS AND ERIC E. ARCOS, WIFE AND HUSBAND Duly Appointed Trustee: PLM LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. Recorded 10/9/2012, as Instrument No. 2012-025048-13, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Humboldt County, California, Date of Sale: 9/18/2025 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the front entrance to the County Courthouse at 825 5th Street, Eureka, CA 95501
Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $93,547.80 (estimated as of the first publication date) Street Address or other common designation of real property: 20 OAKRIDGE DRIVE REDWAY, CA 95560 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The property heretofore described
is being sold “as is”. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. The following statements; NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS and NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER are statutory notices for all one to four single family residences and a courtesy notice for all other types of properties. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. 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 (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Website http://www. nationwideposting.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 117W-019977. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
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. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.nationwideposting.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 117W-019977 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. 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 (916) 939-0772 or visit this
Internet Website http://www. nationwideposting.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 117W-019977. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
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. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www. nationwideposting.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 117W-019977 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

CASE NO. PR2500215
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Michael J. Mangiantini aka Michael Joseph Mangiantini, Michael Mangiantini
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner, John R. Mangiantini
In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that John R. Mangiantini be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
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.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on September 18, 2025 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.
