COMING UP ON NEXT ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

HISTORIAN JORDAN ROHDE TALKS ABOUT HUMBOLDT WILL HELP ENCOURAGE A POSITIVE EDUCATIONAL FUTURE.

AFTER MONTHS OF INVESTIGATION.

MAGGIE FLEMMING CLEARS LOCAL OFFICERS IN THE SEPTEMBER SHOOTING DEFENDANT OF DAVID CHIVRELL, COMING UP ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT NOW.

LIFE IN THE TOP OF THE HUMBOLDT THAT.

I'M JAMES FAULK.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

ONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS TO LOCATE US ON THE CONTINUUM OF HUMAN PROGRESS WHETHER IT'S OBSTRUCTION TO EVOLUTION IS HISTORY.

EVERYTHING WE DO IS ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN DONE IN THE PAST WITH VARYING RESULTS.

THAT WERE USED AND IDENTIFIED BY OUR FOREBEARERS.

WITH THE WAR IN UKRAINE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO EVACUATE AND SAW THEIR BELOVED CITIES AND INSTITUTIONS DESTROYED DURING WORLD WAR II.

AND SAW HOW OUR ANCESTORS MANEUVERED TO SHORTEN THE OUTBREAK AND SAVE LIVES.

WE CERTAINLY FROM SEEING THAT EXAMPLE AND BETTER PREDICT HOW SUCH PROBLEMS RESOLVE.

AND BY CHARTING THAT COURSE WHERE WE ARE HEADED PEOPLE TURN TO ONE LOCAL EXPERT IN PARTICULAR.

JERRY ROHDE TO GAIN VALUABLE PERSPECTIVES ON ISSUES OF THE PAST AND PRESENT AND TO LEARN AS MUCH A AS WE CAN ABOUT OUR COLLECTIVE.

THIS WEEK HE DOUBLED DOWN BY DONATING A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND MATERIAL TO CAL POLLY MUM BOLT TO ENSURE THAT THE UNIVERSITY WILL REMAIN THE CENTER OF SUCH STUDIES.

HE'S HERE TALK TO ME.

CROSSING THE BAR, THAT WILL AND THE BOTH THE PAST AND PRESENT OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO GET A BETTER SENSE WHERE THE FUTURE MIGHT LIE.

>> THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME JAMES.

>> WE'RE BOTH VACCINATED.

BUT LET'S START WITH YOU'VE DONATED WHAT THEY SAY IS THE SECOND LARGEST TO CAL POLYHUMBOLDT.

MY WIFE AND I WERE VERY SPECIFIC IN THE WAY WE CHANNELED THE MONEY.

ALMOST ALL OF IT IS TO PAY FOR PEOPLE TO DO WORK AT THE UNIVERSITY.

WE'LL FUND PERMANENTLY THREE STAFF POSITIONS.

ONE OF THEM WITH THE OSHA LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAM.

ONE WITH THE PRESS THAT THE LIBRARY HAS THE PRESS CAL POLLY AND THE THIRD ONE WITH THE SPECIAL COLLECTIONS IN THE LIBRARY WHICH HAS ALL OF THE RESOURCES PERTAINING TO LOCAL HISTORY AND RELATED ITEMS LIKE THAT.

IN ADDITION WITH ANY MONEY LEFT OVER WE WILL FUND STUDENT ASSISTANT JOBS.

SO THE WHOLE IDEA THIS IS MONEY THAT WE'VE MADE A COMMITMENT TO GIVE BUT UNIVERSITY'S HAS MADE A COMMITMENT BACK TO US IT WILL BE USED FOR THESE PURPOSES.

>> YOU MENTIONED THAT'S IN PERPETUITY.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE GUARANTEED POSITIONS FROM HERE ON OUT.

ONE OF THE THINGS WORKING AT A SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE THESE DAYS BUDGET CONCERNS.

YOU'VE GOT TO LOSE 10%.

THIS WAY THOSE POSITIONS WILL BE GUARANTEED IN THE FUTURE.

>> MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THAT.

>> BUT IT WAS HSU WORKING IN THE LIBRARY.

BEFORE SHE GAINED PERMANENT STATUS.

TWICE SHE WAS TOLD SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE A JOB FOR THE NEXT YEAR WHEN THE BUDGET CUTS CAME.

AND THAT KIND OF LACK OF ASSURANCE IS PRETTY DISRUPTIVE NOT JUST TO US PERSONALLY.

HERE IS AN IMPORTANT JOB THAT WOULDN'T GET DONE AT THE UNIVERSITY.

PART OF OUR THINKING IF THERE ARE BUDGET PROBLEMS LIKE THAT WE KNOW AT LEAST THESE JOBS WILL BE THERE FOR THAT WE CONSIDER IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

>> BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO'RE OF VALUE MAY NOT WANT TO HAVE CIVILITY.

DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.

HOW OSCHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE.

OLLI FOR SHORT.

IT'S BEEN ON CAMPUS FOR 16 YEARS.

IT'S PART OF A NATIONWIDE PROGRAM.

A PHILANTHROPIST BY BERNARD OSCHER STARTED THIS PROGRAM YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

AND SELECTED UNIVERSITIES TO OFFER CLASSES FOR PEOPLE WHO'RE 50 YEARS OLD OR OLDER.

AND IT'S OPEN TO ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE AGE-GROUP.

ACTUALLY YOUNGER PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE TOO.

BUT THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON OLDER PEOPLE.

>> THERE'S ONLY ABOUT A 100 PROGRAMS.

>> 114.

>> WE HAVE ONE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

>> THEY LOOKED AT THE DEMOCRAT GRANKS AND WELL IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A NICE PLACE BUT YOUR POPULATION BASES SO SMALL WE DON'T THINK YOU CAN HAVE 500 REGULAR STUDENTS EVERY SEMESTER.

WE THINK YOU ARE AT LEAST WORTH A CHANCE.

AND WE'LL START AND IF YOU CAN MAKE THAT 500.

RIGHT AWAY WE REACHED 500 AND IN THREE YEARS TIME WE'VE REACHED A 1,000.

EVERY YEAR UP UNTIL KOFED WE WERE OVER 1,000.

AND ONE YEAR WE REACHED 1,300.

AND THE COMMUNITY JUST RESPONDED.

WE'RE ISOLATED AREA HERE.

YOU CAN'T CRUISE DOWN TO THE BAY AREA, TAKE A CLASS THERE AND/OR GO TO A CONCERT.

THEY CAN DO IT IN THEIR BACKYARD.

THEY HAVE DONE IT YEAR AFTER YEAR.

YOU'VE TAUGHT A LOT OF COURSES THROUGH THEM.

I'VE TAUGHT OVER 100.

I TEACH TWO TO THREE EACH QUARTERS.

WE HAVE A SPRING SEMESTER, AND A THEN A FALL SEMESTER.

AND THEN A MONTH LONG THING IN THE WINTER AND SUMMERTIME FOR REGULAR STUDENTS.

>> SO WHAT'S YOUR MONEY GOING TO HELP OSCHER DO.

>> WELL ONE THING FOR SURE IT WILL PAY FOR ONE STAFF PERSON LIKE WE SAID IN PERPETUITY.

THAT'S A BIG THING.

RIGHT NOW THERE IS ONE FULL-TIME STAFF PERSON.

THIS WAY WE'LL KNOW THERE WON'T BE AS OVERWORKED AS THEY ARE NOW.

>> THAT'S FANTASTIC.

NOW, ALSO THE LIBRARY AS YOU MENTIONED YOUR WIFE WORKED AT THE UNIVERSITY.

>> 26 YEARS I THINK.

>> YEAH.

AND >> I WAS ALSO IN THE LIBRARY A LOT.

IT'S SUCH A GREAT RESOURCE FOR LOCAL HISTORY.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WRITING FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW.

USING THE COLLECTION IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

ANOTHER PART OF OUR BEQUEST IS GOING TO FUND ANOTHER PERMANENT STAFF POSITION WHO WORKS UNDER THE COLLECTIONS LIBRARIAN.

THEY CAN MAINTAIN THE COLLECTION AND ADD TO IT.

PART OF THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT THEY'LL GET ALL OF MY COLLECTED PAPERS AND BE ABLE TO ADD THOSE TO YOUR COLLECTION.

>> THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT PART OF YOUR DONATION.

YOU'RE GIVING THEM A LOT OF MATERIAL YOU'VE COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS.

>> 30 YEARS WORTH AND COUNT.

I RECENTLY DID A BOOK THAT THE PRESS AT CAL POLY PUBLISHED AND I HAD TO DO IT AT HOME BECAUSE OF KOFED.

BECAUSE I HAD GONE THERE SO MUCH IN THE PAST I COULD GO TO MY FILES.

THAT AND THE 161.

ANOTHER UNIVERSITY HAS AGREED TO PUBLISH YOUR WORK IN THE FUTURE.

ONE BOOK IS STUDY OF CLIM ON THE NORTHERN PART OF THE BAY AREA.

IT STUDIES OF HUMBOLDT BAY BETWEEN YOU'RE RICA, AND BECAUSE THEY WANTED INFORMATION ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THAT AREA SINCE IT'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST LOCATION IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO REALLY BE HIT BY SEA LEVEL RISE.

ACTUALLY THE WHOLE BAY.

THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT CORRIDOR THAT HAS TO BE CONSIDERED.

>> WAS THAT KIND OF A DIFFERENT THING TO BE COMMISSIONED BY THE COMMISSION.

>> I'VE DONE OTHER THINGS FOR THEM IN THE PAST.

AND THE OCCIDENTAL MILL.

I DID WITH THE HAMMOND RAILROAD BRIDGE.

TRYING TO REPLACE.

I'VE DONE SEVERAL PROJECTS FOR THEM.

>> THIS IS SORT OF OFF TOPIC.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION.

IN ORDER TO TELL -- WHAT'S YOUR BROS?

>> IN THE CASE OF THIS BOOK ABOUT HUMBOLDT BAY I HAD TO DEFINE TERRITORY WHICH WAS BASICALLY EUREKA TO OUR KHEDA AND A COUPLE OF MILES LIKE FRESHWATER CORNERS AND JACOBI CREEK.

ALMOST ALL OF THE WRITING I DO IS GEOGRAPHICALLY BASED.

I HAD A FILE FOR OUR KHEDA.

I HAD A FILE FOR BAY SIDE.

AND THEN I WOULD PICK UP INFORMATION IF I DIDN'T HAVE IT RIGHT AT HAND I EVER OOH BUILT IN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SOCON CREATE.

I'M ALWAYS LOOKING AT A PLACE.

IT'S NOT LIKE I'M STUDYING A LABOR MOVEMENT IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

I CAN LOOK AT PHOTOS.

I CAN LOOK AT MAPS.

I CAN HAVE THE MATERIAL OUT THERE.

IT'S MY PERSONAL INTEREST BUT MAKES WRITING HISTORY EASY.

>> HOPE SO.

>> NOW, YOU'VE PUBLISHED A NUMBER OF BOOKS.

HOW MANY HAVE YOU PUBLISH.

THIS ONE THAT CAME OUT IS NUMBER EIGHT.

>> THREATEN YOU HAVE NUMBER 9.

I CALL IT THE HISTORY OF HUMBOLDT PEOPLE AND PLACES.

I STARTED IN 2016.

AND CAME OUT WITH A BOTH SILEDS OF THE BLUFF.

THAT WAS THE LOWER TABLE BLUFF.

THAT WAS THE BLUFF INVOLVED IN THE TITLE.

NOW I'M DOING A BOOK ON THE INDIANS OF SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND THEN THERE WILL BE 2 BOOKS FROM SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND BOTH OF THOSE ARE IN PROCESS.

I'M BASICALLY FINISHED THE WRITING OF THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE EDITED A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AFTER THAT I'LL DO THE NORTH PART OF THE COUNTY.

>> CAN YOU GIVE US AN ANECDOTE OF THE BOOK THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO FOLKS.

>> THERE'S LOTS OF EXCITING ANECDOTES.

BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE IS THAT THERE'S A SPOT OFF THE COAST DOWN SOUTH OF FERNDALE CALLED CAPE MENDOCINO.

JUST OFF THE COAST THERE'S A VERY HAZARDOUS PART OF THE OCEAN CALLED BLUNTS REEF AND THERE'S A LOW AREA OF SHOALS.

THAT WAS ONE THAT REASONS WHY THEY PUT A LIGHTHOUSE ON CAPE MENDOCINO.

MANY STORIES IN THE BOOK ABOUT DIFFERENT SHIPS INCLUDING ONE THAT WAS TORPEDOED BY A JAPANESE SUBMARINE.

THERE WAS A BLIMP WRECK.

IT WAS A NAVY BLIMP COMING UP THE COAST.

IT WAS NEVER EXPLAINED BUT THE BLIMP SUDDENLY LOST ALTITUDE AND LAND IN THE OCEAN NEXT TO THE LIGHTHOUSE.

AND THEN WHEN THEY GOT OUT OF THE THING IT TOOK OFF AND STARTED ON ITS OWN.

IT WENT UP ON THE AIR.

THEY CALLED THE AIRPORT CAN YOU FOLLOW THIS BLIMP FOR US.

>> WOW.

THAT IS INSANE.

>> SO WHAT IN YOUR ALL YOUR WORK WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF?

>> WHAT I'VE TRIED TO DO IN ALL OF THE BOOKS TO GO BACK AND FIND THE ACTUAL SORT OF VERBATIM ACCOUNTS GIVEN ABOUT INCIDENTS.

IN THE BOOK I'M WRITING ABOUT THE SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT INDIANS.

THAT MEANT GOING TO THE EARLY FIELD NOTES OF ETHNOGRAPHERS.

BUT I WANTED TO FIND THE ACTUAL WORDS OF THESE PEOPLE.

I TRIED DOING THAT ALSO WITH LATER HISTORY.

IT WAS SO POWERFUL TO GO BACK AND SEE THESE DIME STORE NOTEBOOKS AND OUT WALKING WITH SOME INDIAN IN 1850 WHEN THE WHITES ARRIVED.

THAT PERSON WOULD BE TELLING THERE WAS A VILLAGE HERE.

THESE PEOPLE WERE TAKEN TO THE RESERVATION, AND THEY ALL DIED.

THERE WAS A ROCK SHELTER THAT PEOPLE USED TO LIVE IN.

YOU GET LITTLE PIECES AND BITS OF HISTORY.

AND THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT I KNOW OF THAT MATERIAL IS GOING TO BE USED AND MADE PUBLIC.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HEAR VOICES FROM 170 YEARS AGO.

THAT'S FASCINATING.

IT STRIKES A CHORD.

IT MAKES YOU REALIZE HOW SIMILAR WE ARE TO THOSE FOLKS.

WE'RE THE SAME PEOPLE TOLD.

>>ER WE ARE.

HERE INDIANS WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT VILLAGES THAT WIPED OUT.

NOT ONCE IN THOSE THOSE INTERVIEWS DOES IT COME UP THEY HELD HATRED IN THEIR HEART.

I WAS SO IMPRESSED.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LESSON THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN LEARN FROM THEM.

FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO TURN THAT CORNER IN THEIR HEARTS AND NOT HAVE HARD FEELINGS ABOUT ALL OF THIS.

>> THAT'S ONE THING THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH.

WE HAD DONE A SEGMENT ON TILL WATER ISLAND AND THERE WAS A VERY POWERFUL SPIRIT IN THE AIR OF FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION.

YOU KNOW THE CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED.

TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD LIKE PROVIDED A MODEL FOR NATIVE GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

YOU WERE AVAILABLE WITH SOME VALUABLE PERSPECTIVE ON THAT.

I JUST HOPE SOME OF THE THINGS I WRITE DID ENLIGHTEN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST SO MORE OF THOSE THINGS CAN OCCUR.

BETWEEN OTHER GROUPS LIKE THE CHINESE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU OFTEN GET CONSULTED BY OUTSIDE PEOPLE TO FIND OUT THAT HISTORY.

AND IF SO WHAT ARE THEY INTERESTED IN?

>> IT DEPENDS.

THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THE NAME CHANGE WHAT USED TO BE PATRICK'S POINT PARK.

ONE THING WHEN THEY WERE CAN CONSIDERING THE WIND FARM UP ON BEAR RIDGE.

I HAD TWO PHONE CALLS.

ONE WAS FROM ONE OF THE LOCAL TRIBES HOPING I HAD INFORMATION FROM THAT AREA.

ANOTHER WAS FROM A RANCHER HAD OPPOSITE CONCERNS >> THEY ARE BOTH LOOKING FOR DATA TO BOOK UP.

THE POWER OF HISTORY.

THAT'S FASCINATING.

YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE RUNNING ABOUT TWO MINUTE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE LAUNCHING A NEW PODCAST.

CROSSING THE BAR.

IT WAS A BOOK BY JOHN HUM BELT GATES.

BUT THE TITLE COMES FROM CROSSING THE BAR.

THAT WAS FINDING OF THE WAY.

AND MY IDEA FOR THE PODCAST WAS SORT OF TALK HOW WE MOVE FROM THE PAST WITH ALL OF OUR LEGACY INDUSTRIES OF TIMBER AND FISHING AND MOVING TO THE FUTURE WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

AND HOW DIFFICULT THAT IS GOING TO BE DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED UP HERE.

>> I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

IT SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN.

>> WE HAD ONE INTERVIEW THAT WAS KEN BATES AND THAT WAS A COLORFUL CHARACTER.

PEOPLE STAY TUNED FOR THAT.

BASICALLY THAT'S ALL I HAD FOR YOU.

I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION OKAY.

WE HAVE A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT OR SO.

WHAT CAN WE DO AS A SOCIETY TO HELP MAKE THE STUDY OF HISTORY A MORE PRESENT AND PRESSING CONCERN FOR FOLKS?

I MEAN IT'S IMPORTANT NOW.

>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT YOU SHOULD START LOCALLY.

IT'S ABOUT A BUNCH OF OLD GUYS AND RER RIGGING ELECTIONS OR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T RIGHT IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.

AND WHAT I'VE TRIED TO DO AND WHAT OTHER LOCAL AUTHORS IS TRY TO BRING THAT HOME AND GET PEOPLE GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE PAST THEY CAN CONNECT TO AND LEARN THE STORIES THAT ARE CONNECTED WITH THESE PLACES.

IF YOU DO THAT YOU START GRASPING THE POWER OF WHAT HISTORY IS TO THINGS.

IT IS RELEVANT TO YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY IT'S NOT SOME ASSIGNMENT YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE TO PASS A CLASS.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF LOCAL HISTORY OFFERED IN HIGH SCHOOLS.

>> A LOT OF TIMES IT WOULD BE THE CULTURAL AND ALL OF THE DETAILS THAT FORM THEIR OWN COMMUNITY.

HAVE YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TALK TO STUDENTS.

I'VE TALKED TO STUDENTS.

TO ME LOCAL HISTORY OR AT LEAST DEALING WITH OUR PAST THE PLACES OF THE PAST AND WHAT HAPPENED THERE IS VITALLY IMPORTANT.

THEY DON'T TEACH YOU ANY OF THAT.

MY WIFE IS A SELF-TAUGHT NATURALIST.

AND HER LOVE INCREASED THE MORE SHE LEARNED MORE ABOUT THEM.

RELATED TO THE HERE AND NOW BUT BRING YOU BACK TO THE PAST.

THE THINGS YOU CAN SEE, FEEL, TOUCH.

>> WE HAVE 30 SECONDS.

AND THEN IF YOU HSU LIBRARY PAGE THEIR CAL POLY HUMBOLDT.

THEY HAVE A DOWNLOADABLE ALL OF THE BOOKS I'M GOING TO BE DOING WITH THEM PLUS THE LOCAL BOOKSTORES.

THE AND THE LOCAL BOOKSTORE'S PRICE IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN AMAZON.

GO TO THE LOCAL BOOKSTORES.

THANK YOU INJURY.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

>> THE COVID19 PANDEMIC RESPONSE IS QUICKLY BECOMING A ENDEMIC RESPONSE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION HAS SAID IT WILL LIFT A MASK REQUIREMENT.

IT'S UP TO INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SET THEIR OWN STANDARDS.

THE FORTUNA AND EUREKA WHILE THE RIOUX DELL SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AFTER A MONTHLY LONG AGENCY DISTRICT MAGGIE FLEMMING THAT THE SEPTEMBER OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING AND KILLING OF 35-YEAR-OLD DAVID CHIVRELL WAS JUSTIFIED.

IN THAT OFFICERS ACTIONS COMPLIED WITH CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE 835A.

THE OFFICERS REACTION WAS A NATURAL RESPONSE.

THE OFFICERS REASONABLY BELIEVED THEY WERE IN IMMINENT DANGER OF BEING KILLED OR SUFFERING GREAT BODILY INJURY.

>> CHIVRELL REFUSED TO COMPLY A NUMBER OF TIMES AND MULTIPLE OFFICERS WHEN HIT WITH NONLETHAL PEPPER ROUNDS CHIVRELL PULLED A GUN AND POINTED IT THEM WHEN THE OFFICERS POINTED AT HIM AND SHOT HIM.

AFTER THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTED TO BAN RUSSIAN OIL AND APPLY FURTHER SANCTIONS.

JERRY.

HOUSE PASSES LEGISLATION TO BAN RUSSIAN OIL IS WHAT HIS PRESS RELEASE WAS HEADLINE.

WE WILL NOT SUBSIDIZE PUTIN'S UNPROVOKED.

HOLD WITH ESCALATING SANCTIONS AND CONGRESS HAS SWIFTLY TO SHORE UP THESE ACTIONS WITH TODAY'S BILL FURTHER ISOLATING RUSSIA FROM THE WORLD AND LEAVING IT ECONOMICALLY.

THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CHOICE BETWEEN STANDING UP FOR DEMOCRACY AND PROTECTING ECONOMIC INTERESTS.

TO DIVERSIFY THE NATIONAL ENERGY SUPPLY AND TO PREVENT INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES FROM PRICE GOUGING AMERICANS.

THIS WEEK THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION APPROVED A $10.5 MILLION GRANT OFF OF THE HUMBOLDT BAY.

ONCE RENOVATED THE NEW HUMBOLDT BAY MARINE TERMINAL WILL BE ABLE TO OFFSHORE WIND AND OTHER MARITIME ACTIVITIES.

BY INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE THE COMMISSION HOPES TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITY FOR OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS HOME TO SOME OF THE BEST OFFSHORE WIND COMPANIES.

THAT'S ENOUGH ELECTRICITY TO POWER UP TO 1.6 MILLION CALIFORNIA HOMES.

ACCORDING TO THE COMMISSION THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO REVITALIZE THE WATERFRONT INDUSTRY IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND PROVIDE LIVING WAGE JOBS IN NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

OVER A 5-YEAR PERIOD.

SO THIS HAS BEEN PLEDGE SEASON.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING.

OUR SHOWS HAVE BEEN SORT OF HIT AND MISS.

WE'VE HAD SPECIAL PROGRAMS.

PURPOSE IS OF COURSE TO ENTICE FOLKS THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH KEET.

IF THEY'RE NOT MEMBERS IF THEY ARE GIVING YOU KNOW A GIFT NOW.

GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

IF YOU CAN PLEASE SUPPORT KEET.

THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN CAN TELL YOU WHAT NUMBER TO CALL.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.
