COMING UP NEXT ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

VETERAN AND VIDEOGRAPHER GORDON CLATWORTHY WILL JOIN US YOU IN A MINUTE TO TALK POLITICS AND HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND WHY HE'S FELT THE NEED TO RUN.

FROM OFFERING A NEW SHREW OF PROGRAMS INCLUDING A JOURNALISM DEGREE FOR PELICAN BAY INMATES.

HAD QUITE THE SCARE WHEN EUREKA OF AN ARMED AT COMPWHRAENT AND M STREETS.

WITNESSES THAT REPORTED THAT HAD A RIFLE SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER.

BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE 21st CENTURY AMERICA.

THEY PUT THE CAMPUS INTO THE HIGH SECURITY STANCE OF LOCKDOWN.

AND EXPERIENCED AS ACTUAL PHYSICAL PAIN.

MY WIFE AND I BOTH RUSHED TO THE SCENE AND SAT ON THE CURB.

IT TOOK THREE HOURS.

THE MAN WAS EVENTUALLY LOCATED AND HIS WEAPON WAS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A BEE-BEE GUN AND DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE AN ASSAULT RIFLE.

THE MAN WITH THE BEE-BEE BEGUN WAS AND ULTIMATELY RELEASED AS THERE HAD BEEN NO RIGHTS MADE.

I'D LIKE TO DEPHEND FORE TUNA FOR DOING ALL THEY COULD TO HELP RESOLVE THIS SITUATION.

IT REMIND WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO HAVE AVOIDED SCHOOL SHOOTINGS THAT LUCKY STREAK COULD AT ANY TIME.

LOVE YOUR KIDS.

RESPECT THEIR TEACHERS HOLD THE LIFE OF YOUR CHILD IN THEIR HANDS.

WE SHOULDN'T NEED OUR EDUCATORS YOU AND POLICE TO HAVE WAR TIME COURAGEMENT BUT WE DO.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME THROUGH WITH THIS REAL WORLD SHOOTER DRILL.

AND IN THE INTEREST OF PUTTING THAT DAY OFF FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE PLEASE LOCK UP YOUR FIREARMS.

BE A RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.

JOINING US IS THE VIDEOGRAPHER IS GORDON CLATWORTHY WHO'S DECLARED HIMSELF AS A CANDIDATE AGAINST THE REX BOHN HAS ANNOUNCED AN INTENTION TO RUN.

>> THANK YOU.

IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.

THAT IS SCARY.

AND THEY HAPPEN WITH INCREASING REGULARITY BECAUSE OF OUR SCOOURT STANCE.

ALL YOU KNOW AS A PARENT YOU YOU GET A FRANTIC TEXT FROM YOUR KID.

THEN YOU FLASH TO ALL OF THE SCENES WE'VE SEEN ON NETWORK NEWS THAT AREN'T AS LUCKY.

AND REALLY, REALLY BAD THINGS HAPPEN.

>> YEAH.

IT GRIPS YOU YOU ESPECIALLY AS A PARENT.

YOU'RE LUCKY THAT THE COUNTY HAS RESPONSE TO THINGS LIKE THIS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO POLITICIZE LIKE THE POLICE.

>> YEAH.

>> BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE TO PROTECT EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE THERE TO HELP PEOPLE.

AND YEAH.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

>> YOU KNOW THAT'S THE THING MY WIFE AND ARE WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE ONGOING WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THERE'S A LOT OF THE POLITICAL ISSUES THAT GO IN THAT DIRECTION.

WE WERE SITTING THERE AND WATCH THESE POLICE OFFICERS AND LOOKING FOR ANY EVIDENCE OF THIS GUY.

AND WE WERE REMARKING HOW COURAGEOUS THAT WAS.

AS COMPARED TO YEW VALUE DE.

>> AND I THINK THAT IT'S PROPER TO EXTEND OUR ACCOMMODATIONS TO THEM WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING GOOD AS WELL AS CRITICIZE.

BUT I THINK THAT'S LOOKING AT AN ISSUE MYOPICALLY THEY'RE DOING MORE THAN JUST WORKING.

>> OH, YEAH.

PEOPLE THAT JOIN, PEOPLE THAT JOIN THE POLICE FORCE IS THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO GO OUT.

THEY WANT TO DO GOOD.

THEY ARE THE GOOD GUYS.

OCCASIONALLY THERE MIGHT BE SOME LESS THAN REPUTABLE PEOPLE IN THERE.

SO FAR WE'VE HAD A PRETTY GOOD SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR KIND OF GETTING RID OF SOME OF THOSE LESS THAN REPUTABLE OFFICERS.

>> I CAN'T YOU.

>> AND I'M REALLY THANKFUL THAT THE POLICE ARE THERE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YOU ARE TRYING TO BECOME FIRST DISTRICT SUPERVISOR.

>> YEAH.

>> LET'S START WITH THE FIRST BAY KICK QUESTION.

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING.

THE THING THAT PUT INTO FOCUS FOR ME WAS AFTER I HAD RETIRED OUT OF THE COAST GUARD.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN TO STPVENLT.

SO YOU HAVE TO I WAS GETTING TREATED FOR CANCER.

SO I WAS DRIVING DOWN ON ONE OF THE SHUTTLES TO SAN FRANCISCO WHO WAS ALSO GETTING TREATED FOR CANCER.

HE HAPPENED TO HAVE BEEN ON THE GRAND JURY, AND WE END UP TALKING THE WHOLE TIME ABOUT JUST HOW WE FELT ABOUT THE COUNTY AND HOW WE FELT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WORKING.

HE REALLY CLUED ME IN SOME OF THE THINGS HAPPENING IN THE BACKGROUND THAT PROBABLY NEEDED A LITTLE BIT MORE OVERSIGHT AND NEEDED TO GET CLEARED UP.

REALLY GOOD FRIENDS WITH HIM.

I'VE GONE OVER TO HIS HOUSE A FEW TIMES.

AND TALKED TO A FEW MEMBERS OF THE GRAND JURY AND REALLY FELT LIKE SOMEBODY NEEDS TO COME IN AND I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF BACK ROOM CLEANING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

THEN WE NEED TO GET A GOVERNMENT THAT'S A LITTLE MORE FUNCTIONAL FOR THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE YOU SURVIVING CANCER.

DO YOU MIND TALKING ABOUT FOR A SECOND.

>> YEAH.

>> CAN YOU TELL US HOW THE CANCER WAS AND HOW BEING A CANCER SURVIVOR HAS AFFECTED YOU.

I HAD A FORM OF NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA.

IT'S NOT CURABLE BUT IT'S TREATABLE.

I'M IN REMISSION RIGHT NOW.

BUT IT REALLY SHOWED ME SOME OF THE FRONT LINE WORKERS HAVE TO GO THROUGH.

SOME OF THE MEDICAL WORKERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP THAT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT AS RAPIDLY AS I COULD.

>> MIGHT BE A HARD THING TO TALK ABOUT AT TIMES.

YOU ARE A COASTIE.

THAT'S WHAT THE COAST GUARD PEOPLE LIKE TO BE CALLED.

>> YEAH.

>> TELL US ABOUT YOUR CAREER AND HOW THAT >> THE COAST GUARD'S REALLY, REALLY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER KIND OF MILITARY BRANCH.

WE'RE NOT DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

WHEN I FIRST JOINED WE WERE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THAT SHIFTED INTO THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

AND WE'RE MORE OF A POLICE FORCE THAN WE ARE A MILITARY BRANCH.

BUTTON LIKE ANY OTHER MILITARY BRANCHES LIKE THE ARMY THERE'S 300 DIFFERENT JOBS YOU CAN BE IN THE ARMY SO IF YOU WANTED TO BE JUST A GUY THAT FILLS THE TANKER IN THE GAS YOU CAN DO THAT.

BUT THE COAST GUARD I WANT TO SAY LESS THAN 30 JOBS.

YOU REALLY HAVE TO CROSS TRAIN.

I WAS A MED INC.

I WAS A FIREFIGHTER.

I DID BOARDING TEAMS.

I WAS A COOK.

AND I MANAGED FINANCES.

SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT HATS REALLY HELP ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO GOVERNMENT OFFICES BECAUSE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS TO THINK OF THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCED WITH.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

NOW DULT WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE COAST GUARD WE WILL HAVE TWO MEMBERS AND FORMER MEMBERS OF THE COARSE GUARD ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NATALIE ARROYO.

>> WONDERFUL PERSON.

WHAT IT SAYS THAT WE GET STUFF DONE, AND WHEN YOU GET A COASTIE WORKING FOR YOU, THINGS GET FIXED.

SO WE'RE THE ONE BRANCH OF SERVICE THAT KNOWS HOW TO DO MORE WITH LESS.

THERE ARE 40,000 COAST GUARD MEMBERS AND THAT'S LESS THAN THE NYPD.

AND WE HAVE A HUGE SWATH OF RESPONSIBILITIES.

SO YEAH, WE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING FOR SURE.

>> EXCELLENT.

NOW, BEFORE THE SHOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES OF THE QUESTIONS.

CANNABIS IS ONE OF YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY.

WHAT HOW THE COUNTY HAS MANAGED CANNABIS, AND WHERE YOU THINK THERE MAY NEED TO BE REFORM.

>> I'M DEFINITELY A VOTE NO ON MEASURE A GUY.

100% VOTE NO ON MEASURE A.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT MEASURE A FIRST OF ALL.

>> MEASURE A IS REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF GROWS WE HAVE.

AND IT WOULD REDUCE THE TRANSFERENCE OF PROPERTY FROM LIKE LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A FATHER WHO WANTS TO PASS ON HIS FARM TO HIS KID, HIS KID WOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR A NEW PERMIT.

IT WOULD REALLY CRIPPLE THE STRIP THAT WE HAVE.

IT'S PASSED AS A WAY OF HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT.

SO I DID SOME DIGGING AND I FOUND THAT PROBABLY 90% OF ALL OF THE GROWS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY HAPPEN IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY.

AND IN DISTRICT ONE WE'VE GOT 13.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF GROWS ALONG THE METOLA RIVER.

ONE OF THE MAIN WORRIES IS RUNOFF INTO THE RIVER, AND BLUE GREEN ALGAE.

CYANOBACTERIA.

THERE WOULD BE A NOTICEABLE OF CYANOBACTERIA IN THE RIVER BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE A MAJORITY OF THE GROWS OCCUR.

WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE TALKING ABOUT THE SINO BCKET IN THE RIVERS ONE OF THE RIVERS NOT MENTIONED WAS THE MOTTOLA RIVER.

THAT MANS THAT THE REGULATIONS WE HAVE FOR GROWS ARE DOING THEIR JOB.

AND THEY'RE PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, AND WE COULD PROBABLY EVEN RELAX A FEW OF THEM WHEN IT COMES TO GENERATORS.

BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT BECAUSE A LOT OF FARMERS ARE STRUGGLING.

A LOT OF BUSINESSES ARE STRUGGLING.

ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY ARE LIVING AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE.

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO'RE CHOOSING BETWEEN GAS OR BUYING MILK.

AND WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE CAN FOR THEM.

THEY'VE DONE A LOT FOR THIS COUNTY.

>> WITH CANNABIS, THERE'S THE INITIAL FIRST GENERATION EFFECTS OF THE PEOPLE GROWING THE MARIJUANA.

BUT THERE'S ALL OF THE ANCILLARY BY THE PEOPLE WHO'RE GROWING.

>> WE'RE SHIFTING FROM FROM AT LEAST ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL THEY'RE SCHEDULING FROM A SCHEDULE I TO SCHEDULE III.

AND THAT WILL ALLOW THESE BUSINESSES TO GET MORE TAX WRITE-OFFS.

USE THEIR FARM EQUIPMENT FOR TAX WRITE OFFS AND POSSIBLY ALLOW US TO SHIP OUTSIDE OF STATE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND PEOPLE THAT'S A GOLDEN PRODUCT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WANT.

SO WE NEED TO -- IF WE CAN GET THAT, AND THEN MAYBE USE THE PERMITS AS A COOPERATIVE SO PEOPLE CAN GROW UNDER A HUMBOLDT COUNTY NAME AND GET IT OUT THERE, THEN I THINK FARMERS WOULD BENEFIT FROM THAT NAME RECOGNITION.

AND IT WOULD COME LOCAL DOLLARS WOULD SWELL UP FOR SURE.

I'VE BEEN CONTACTED BY CAROL CONNERS A REGULAR VIEWER.

SHE ASKED THE QUESTION SHE'S REALLY INTERESTED IN YOUR CAMPAIGN AND SHE WAS WONDERING ABOUT DONATING TO YOUR EFFORT.

WHY -- WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

>> SO I'M GOING TO ACCEPT DONATIONS.

IT WILL HAPPEN.

BUT BEFORE I ACCEPT DONATIONS I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I CROSSED MY Ts, AND DOTTED MY Is.

WITHOUT HAVING THE PROPER PAPERWORK FILED.

YEAH I HAVE TO GET MY ORGANIZATION IN ORDER BEFORE I CAN START ACCEPTING DONATIONS.

THAT RELIES ON THE STATE.

AND THE STATE IS SLOW BECAUSE IT'S A BIG ELECTION YEAR.

SO THE OFFICE OF ELECTIONS IT MIGHT TAKE ABOUT A MONTH.

I'VE ONLY BEEN DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

IT WILL HAPPEN, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DONATE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

RIGHT NOW I'M ACCEPTING SIGNATURES IN LIEU, SO I'LL BE AT COLLEGE OF REDWOODS FROM 11:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M.

IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND SMORT US I'LL BE THERE TOMORROW.

SEPTEMBER 15th, 2023.

>> NOW REX BOHN IS TRYING TO GET HIS FOURTH TERM.

IT WOULD BE A LONG CAREER IN TERMS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

WHERE DO YOU SEE CONTRASTING WITH REX BOHN, AND WHERE DUCEY SIMILARITIES: I THINK THAT THE COUNTY IS DYNAMIC, AND IS GROWING, AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

AND TO TRY TO KEEP THINGS THE SAME FOR FOUR TERMS.

A TERM IS 4 YEARS.

SO HE'S BEEN IN FOR 12 YEARS ALREADY AND ANOTHER 4 YEARS, YEAH THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING THEY WANT THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.

BUT THINGS ARE ALREADY CHANGING.

LEGALIZATION HAPPENED IN THAT TIME.

THE HOUSING CRISIS IS GOING ON, AND WE DO NEED SOME DIFFERENT IDEAS OUT THERE HOW TO DEAL WITH THING.

WE CAN'T JUST KICK THINGS DOWN THE ROAD.

WE'LL DEAL WITH IT IN FOUR MORE YEARS.

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THINGS NOW.

WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THINGS FOUR YEARS AGO OR EIGHT YEARS AGO.

HERE WE ARE.

AND WE HAVE TO MAKE A HUGE IMPACT NOW.

>> YOU MENTIONED HOUSING.

LAST WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT HOUSING.

THE TWO ISSUESOF HOMELESSNESS AND THE MEDIAN INCOME THEY'RE ALL DEEPLY INTERRELATED.

HOW DO YOU SEE -- WHAT PATH DO YOU SEE IN ORDER TO HELP PEOPLE FIND HOMES OR STAY IN HOMES OR BENEFIT A TIGHT MARKET.

>> HOUSING THE KEYSTONE TO ANY GOOD ECONOMY.

PEOPLE WITH HOUSING USE LESS MEDICAL WHICH MEDICAL TAKES ORR 50% OF THE COUNTY'S BUDGET.

SO MEDICAL TAKES OVER 50% OF THE COUNTY'S BUDGET.

PEOPLE THAT HAVE HOUSING USE LESS MEDICAL SERVICES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GETTING AS SICK AS OFTEN.

HOUSING ALSO ESPECIALLY LOW-INCOME AND RENT CONTROLLED HOUSING, GIVES PEOPLE MORE OF THEIR PAYCHECK WHICH THEY CAN IN TURN SPEND ON LOCAL BUSINESSES WHICH HELP BUSINESSES GROW.

HOUSING IS REALLY THE KEYSTONE.

SO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW IS TO BUILD HOUSING AND SPECIFICALLY THROUGH THE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT THERE'S OVER 1,000 UNITS THAT WE NEED BETWEEN VERY LOW-INCOME AND LOW-INCOME WHICH INCLUDES PEOPLE LIKE DISABLED VETERANS WHO CAN'T AFFORD HIGHER RENTS.

AND YEAH.

IT'S HOUSING.

WE NEED TO BUILD HOUSING.

WE NEED TO SPEND A GOOD AMOUNT ON HOUSING.

WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER AGENCIES AND WORK TOGETHER TO COMBINE GRANTS TOGETHER SO THAT WE CAN REALLY BUILD SOME MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HOUSING.

>> YEAH.

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS RELATED BOTH OF THOSE IS ADDICTION IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

I'M A RECOVERING HEROIN ADDICT.

THAT'S PART OF MY STORY.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN A SIMILAR BOAT.

WE'RE DEVELOPING THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP PEOPLE DEAL WITH THAT ISSUE BE.

BUT WE STILL HAVE A LACK OF THE MENTAL HEALTH WHICH IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THAT.

AND YOU KNOW THAT FEEDS INTO HOMELESSNESS AND IT'S ALSO RELATED TO CHILDHOOD TRAUMA WHICH MAKES PEOPLE ADDICTED.

THAT'S A LOT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THE SURFACE HOW WE'VE HANDLED IT SO FAR.

>> WELL, HAVE WE HANDLED IT SO FAR?

HAVE WE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

I'M SURE THERE ARE SMALLER GROUPS OUT.

>> NO I'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

>> WHEN YOU DO HAVE -- SO I'VE RUN INTO HOMELESS VETERANS THAT ARE OUT OF THEIR MIND.

AND THEY'RE NOT THERE.

AND AS SOON AS THEY GET STABLE HOUSING, IT'S LIKE A FOG CLEARS AND THEN THEY ARE ABLE TO GO I'M WORTH SOMETHING.

I CAN DO THINGS WITH MY LIFE.

HOUSING IS AGAIN THE KEYSTONE TO ADDICTION TREATMENT.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> AND WHEN WE HAVE MORE HOUSING WE'RE NOT SPENDING AS MUCH, MUCH MONEY ON HEALTHCARE SO WE CAN REINVEST THAT HEALTHCARE SAVINGS INTO MORE PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE, AND IT WILL -- IT ENDS UP SOLVING ITSELF.

IT REALLY DOES.

AGAIN, HOUSING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

WE HAVE PEOPLE STUDENTS THAT ARE LIVING WITH FAMILY THAT CAN'T FIND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING ON THE STREET THAT ARE COUCH SURFING THAT DON'T HAVE ANY PERMANENT HOUSING.

SO YEAH, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

AGAIN, HOUSING.

MOST IMPORTANT THING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF THE SMALL TOWN FEEL BY BUILDING EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSING.

BUT IT'S GOING TO END UP HELPING EVERYBODY.

HOUSING IS THE KEYSTONE.

>> WE'VE GOT TWO MINUTES LEFT.

SO THIS HAS GONE BY QUICKLY.

ONE THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOU MENTIONEDED GRAND JURY.

YOU TERMS OF HOLDING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACCOUNTABLE.

THE CHILD WELFARE SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND ALL OF THE ISSUES THERE.

UNFORTUNATELY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AT LEAST THERE WAS A RATHER GLIB RESPONSE.

YES WE RECOGNIZE THESE ARE PROBLEMS AND THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT VIRTUALLY NONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE GRAND JURY.

THERE WAS SOME CONNED SENSE HOW THEY ANSWERED.

HOW WOULD YOU LOOK AT GRAND JURY RECOMMENDATIONS.

>> ONE MINUTE.

NO PRESSURE HERE.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE 2020 AUDIT THAT HAPPENED, ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS WE FOUND WHAT WAS IT $1.4 MILLION GOT TRANSFERRED OUT ONE OF THE TRUST FUNDS WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT.

MAN IS THAT OUR ONE MINUTE WARNING.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO AS THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS NEED TO DO IS FIGURE OUT HOW TO CLOSE THOSE TRUSTS AND COMBINE THEM INTO MAYBE ONE ACCOUNTABLE TRUST THAT WILL HELP US KEEP TRACK OF THIS MONEY.

THERE'S A LOT OF WASTED.

THERE'S A LOT OF GOVERNMENT WASTE.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE NOT GETTING -- MAN.

FOR A MINUTE.

SORRY.

>> OKAY.

WE'RE DONE.

THAT WAS WELL-HANDLED.

I APPRECIATE YOUR WITH THE MINUTE LEFT YOU DID AN ADMIRABLE JOB.

I THINK YOU'VE SHOWN A GOOD HANDLE OF THE ISSUES.

SO THANKS FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

AND IN OTHER NEWS HUMBOLDT COUNTY UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN BUSY EXPANDING ITS PRESENCE IN THE COUNTY AN ANTICIPATED RISE IN ENROLLMENT.

HOWEVER ACCORDING TO A REPORT THIS WEEK IN THE NORTH COAST JOURNAL THE NUMBERS SHOW AN UPTICK OF MERE 2% OR 123 STUDENTS WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION WHEN PROJECTED 2,000 ONLY SIX MONTHS AGO.

THE JOURNAL REPORTS THAT THESE FIGURES PUT THE CAMPUS BEHIND WHAT THEY HOPED WOULD BE THE A DOUBLING OF THE STUDENT POPULATION.

ALL OF THIS WHILE THE CSU RECENTLY APPROVED ANOTHER TUITION INCREASE.

CSU ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK IT HAS APPROVED A MULTI-YEAR TUITION HIKE BY INCREASING TUITION COSTS SIX% THAT ARE YEAR.

UNDER THE PROPOSAL WOULD INCREASE BY $342 PER STUDENT BEGINNING IN THE 24-25 ACADEMIC YEAR.

NOT CONTENT TO STAND PAT CAL POLY WILL STILL STILL EXPAND ITS SERVICES AND PROGRAMS.

IT'S THE FIRST BA PROGRAM TO BE TAUGHT IN PERSON IN A HIGH SECURITY CORRECTIONS FACILITY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

IT'S A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CAL POLY HUMBOLDT.

>> MAKERS CREATIVE KAET HEALED AN EVENT TO PROMOTE RECYCLING.

OR A WORE A BIG SMILE AND LOOKED IT HAPPY.

>> THAT'S TWO BIG PIECES OF ART MADE OUT OF RECYCLED OR RECLAIMED MATERIALS BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THESE SERIES OF EVENTS TO PROMOTE THE REDUCE, RECYCLE AND REDUCE ROT.

WE'RE RECLAIMED MATERIALS AND MAKING THESE PIECES OF ART THAT ARE GOING TO TAKE AROUND THE COUNTY.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO GO TO WASTE.
