Sunny skies and an open highway are expected to draw more hot rods, low riders, Corvettes, Mustangs and mini trucks — think Datsuns or Nissans — to the coast this weekend.

Across the street, a lone bachelor elk pauses beside the nursery, eyeing the fulgid, fertilized bounty just beyond the chain link. It looks like any other day just about to begin in the Heart of the Meth District. But I know the truth: Today, everything changes.

Back on the September 10th County Board Of Supervisors meeting, Del Norte County Sheriff Garrett Scott was told to bring a budgeting plan back to the board in 14 days that would detail the Sheriff’s Office staffing changes. During the County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, Sheriff Scott showed this plan to the Board.
Sheriff Scott gave a PowerPoint presentation that listed off some of the issues the Sheriff’s Office is having when it comes to hiring and retaining, highlighting the hiring process when it comes to getting Deputies, taking months to get someone to the academy and out onto the streets. Sheriff Scott also noted that most people drop out along this process, with only two participants who graduated last time.
