Bryce Evans of Redwood Voice has an interview with Valerie Starkey, the District 2 Supervisor of Del Norte County and a member of the Reaching Rural Del Norte representatives, about the Reaching Rural Initiative. With little information available online, the interview helps explain just what this initiative will hopefully do for rural communities. The full interview is below, with a shorter cut available here.

In early December of 2022, Bryce Evans of Redwood Voice sat down with the principal of Del Norte Highschool, Alison Eckart, to discuss the rumors of fentanyl on school grounds that had begun with the new school year. The interview itself, while centered around fentanyl, delves into several other subjects.

In this short but exciting segment, Ethan Caudill-DeRego recalls the events in which Redwood Voice took its very first family road trip. Hear about this exciting multimedia road trip from a first-hand perspective, and have a window into the behind the scenes of Redwood Voice Youth Media in action!
The Redwood Voice crew was pleased to cover a spectacularly unique performance from a local art adventure group, “DiRT & GLiTTER.” Directors, Producers, and Performers Lauren Godla & Madeline Lawder invited artists from all over—as near as the Bay and as far as Vancouver, Canada—for a comedy, dance, and music show… to be attended by kayak!
We were pleased to receive an invitation out of the office and into a pleasant sunny day by the beautiful Smith River, in which an armada of kayaking spectators made their way between classical musical echoed from the rocks, a ukulele-ing comedian, a dance on an isle in the river, a comedian sitting communally with a squad of squeaking rafts, and, to top it off, Lauren and Madeline with their “Two Suns” suspended dance performance!
