Editor:
Reading Heidi Walters’ article of Jan. 20, “Southern Discomfort,” I was reminded that it’s not always easy for constituents to reach me. I’ve always recognized the difficulty in getting services, funding and attention to the southern part of the 2nd District, especially in the remote rural areas. I seize every possible opportunity to attend and be available for ideas and suggestions at community events, and I very much appreciate opportunities like being able to do the “Between the Hums” report on Dennis Huber’s Monday Morning Magazine, usually right before 8 a.m. on KMUD. On that segment I give a weekly update on Board of Supervisors and other meetings and people can call in with questions.
Although Mr. Sky and I have since talked, I do want to take the opportunity to let folks in the southern part of the district know the best way to reach me: My office hours in Garberville (in the county building behind the library) this year will be 2:30 to 6 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Please be aware, though, that sometimes other meetings and job requirements interrupt that schedule (many thanks to Garberville Librarian John Christiansen for running over to put announcements/changes on my office door when this happens). Please call Nancy Hampton or Kathy Hayes at 476-2396 to confirm my schedule or to make a specific appointment. In addition, a good way to reach me is by email at cclendenen@co.humboldt.ca.us.
Clif Clendenen, 2nd District Supervisor

The “rual lifestylers” don’t want to talk, they want to be left alone. Just ask any of the numerous 2010 Census workers threatened at gunpoint. (The pot growers were the most friendly…they wanted no trouble).
What they’re hiding is the exact same crap that sullied, then dried the riparian areas of Southern California, and countless other places on Earth long ago…draining every ounce of fresh, clean water for anything and everything imaginable, Olympic pools, lakes, trout farms, orchards…and pot…livestock and ATV’s using streams as highways.
For all their efforts, publications and shouting, NONE of the “rural homesteaders” are advocating to codify low-impact living, nor do ANY call for water carrying capacity studies.
Where’s the environmentalists, the media, the outrage??
