During the fall 2025 semester, Cal Poly Humboldt started requiring all students living in the dorms to have a meal plan. In the past, the requirement to purchase a meal plan was tied to residence halls like Canyon and The Hill which typically house freshmen. This requirement also requires first-year students graduating from high schools outside Humboldt and Del Norte counties to live on campus for two years.

A new EVITARUS poll released on May 10 shows a tight race. Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton are now tied for first place, each with 18%. Republican Chad Bianco is at 14% and Democrat Tom Steyer has dropped to 12%.

Neither party has officially endorsed a candidate, but the poll suggests that Becerra and Hilton are the main contenders. The poll now shows that it is less likely that there will be two Republicans on the ballot.

Hilton has received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, possibly explaining his lead over Bianco.

The last day to register to vote is May 18. Election day for the primary is on June 2, but early voting is available at certain locations. To find an early voting facility near you, go to https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/.

After 15 months since the first seeds were planted, local Latine cooperative Aquilli Metzli began selling their produce at the Arcata Plaza farmers market on April 11. The cooperative harvests a variety of crops across Humboldt rooted in Indigenous practices with a focus on corn made into masa.

Jatha Gonzalez Lum spent her first farmers market selling masa with Aquilli Metzli during their second time tabling. Watching the seeds she planted grow into the corn now in the hands of the community felt like a moment of peace.

“I was actually there last year planting it, harvesting it and like being there for almost every step of the way of it going from corn into masa,” Gonzalez Lum said. “It feels cathartic in a way.”

Quince meses después de sembrar las primeras semillas, la cooperativa local latine Aquilli Metzli comenzó a vender sus productos agrícolas en el mercado de Arcata Plaza el 11 de abril. La cooperativa cosecha una variedad de productos agrícolas en todo Humboldt, siguiendo prácticas indígenas con especial atención al maíz para la creación de masa.

Jatha Gonzalez Lum pasó su primer mercado vendiendo masa junto a Aquilli Metzli durante su segundo turno de participación. Ver crecer las semillas que ella plantó hasta convertirse en el maíz que ahora está en manos de la comunidad fue un momento de paz.

“El año pasado estuve allí plantándolo, cosechándolo y estando ahí durante casi todo el proceso del maíz convirtiéndose en masa”, dijo González Lum. “Es una experiencia catártica”.

For years, the empty acreage inside the Airport Business Park on Boeing Avenue has sat untouched. According to recent county filings and public records, that’s about to change with the addition of an Amazon facility. Currently, no construction start date has been set.

As of April 25, “Project McKinley” remains in the permitting stage. Its final timeline depends on environmental study results and upcoming public hearings.

Durante años, el terreno vacío dentro del Airport Business Park en la Avenida Boeing ha permanecido sin tocar. De acuerdo a presentaciones recientes del condado y registros públicos, eso está a punto de cambiar con la adición de una instalación de Amazon. Por el momento, no hay ninguna fecha puesta para que empiece la construcción.

A fecha del 25 de abril, el “Proyecto McKinley” sigue en la etapa de obtención de permisos. Su cronología final depende de los resultados del estudio medioambiental y de las próximas audiencias públicas.

As a kid, Wahpepah stood at the feet of her elders pacing around the kitchen, mesmerized by every plate placed before her. Years later, she gets to serve that experience to every person that walks through her restaurant.

“I was taught at a very young age that’s where our ancestors really came through, really into the foods,” Wahpepah said.

Wahpepah published a cookbook in March called “A Feather and a Fork” which features 125 Indigenous recipes. She spent five years practicing, learning and documenting a variety of flavors inspired by her ancestors and childhood. A central theme in the book centers around reclaiming one’s taste buds and decolonizing our palettes through Indigenous foods.

“I talk a lot about that in the book and how we can really enjoy these flavors that are from the Earth and actually from Indigenous land and how we can really celebrate these dishes but really own our palate,” Wahpepah said.

De pequeña, Wahpepah estaba de pie a los pies de sus mayores, caminando de un lado para otro por la cocina, hipnotizada por cada plato que le ponían frente an ella. Años más tarde, ella tiene la oportunidad de servir esa experiencia a cada persona que entra a su restaurante.

“Me enseñaron a una edad muy temprana que ahí es donde nuestros ancestros realmente se destacaban, realmente en los alimentos”, dijo Wahpepah.
Wahpepah publicó un libro de recetas en marzo llamado “A Feather and a Fork”, el cual incluye 125 recetas indígenas. Ella se pasó cinco años practicando, aprendiendo y documentando una variedad de sabores inspirados en sus ancestros y infancia. El tema central en el libro se centra alrededor de reclamar las papilas gustativas de uno y descolonizar nuestros platos a través de comidas indígenas.

“Hablo mucho sobre eso en el libro y también sobre cómo podemos disfrutar esos sabores que son de la Tierra y actualmente son de las tierras indígenas y cómo podemos celebrar estos platos pero realmente apropiarnos de nuestro paladar”, dijo Wahpepah.
