📰 News we're reading
• Drilling Halted in Southern Humboldt Over Slurry Disposal; County Demands Plan Before Work Resumes (kymkemp.com) — Horizontal drilling for the state’s Broadband for All project has been halted in Southern Humboldt after unpermitted slurry dumping polluted local waterways and left contractors with nowhere legal to take waste generated near Garberville. County officials say work won’t resume until a safe disposal plan exists, raising big questions about environmental oversight and how this massive fiber buildout will proceed around Garberville and neighboring communities. 
• Nearly 3,000 marijuana plants eradicated in Garberville operation, officials say (krcrtv.com) — Law enforcement raided three Garberville properties this week, seizing nearly 3,000 marijuana plants plus hundreds of pounds of processed cannabis, cash, and packaging materials. Three people were arrested on suspicion of running an illegal cultivation and sales operation, signaling continued enforcement pressure on unlicensed grows in and around Garberville neighborhoods.
• Nearly 200 join wildfire drill west of Garberville (prismnews.com) — Firefighters and residents recently turned a hillside west of Garberville into a live wildfire drill, sharpening local response for the next big blaze. The exercise drew nearly 200 people and follows recent nearby fires on Alderpoint Road, underscoring why Southern Humboldt’s wildfire readiness and evacuation planning matter for anyone living in or around Garberville.
