December 30th, 2024 – For Redwood Voice Community News, a production of Redwood Voice Youth Media, today’s news: roadwork updates from CalTrans District 1; Patrick Creek Road is closed due to slide activity; weather updates for the New Year weekend; Curry Commissioners delay renewing employee contract for their finance and human resources director; Oregon State Parks is hosting a winter whale watch until the 31st; the North Coast Rape Crisis team receives a game changing grant; USPS warns about smishing scams; less than half of eligible foster youth have access to Chafee foster services; and The X Games will be held in Sacramento every year through 2027. All this and our regular segments from the Pacifica Radio Network and National Native News.

[EDIT: headline for Curry Commissioners has been changed to accurately reflect their finance and human resources director had their contract delayed, *not* fired.]
