KMUD’s new Community Resources and Calendar page is now live on the KMUD website, wordpress-1438018-5376424.cloudwaysapps.com, under the COMMUNITY dropdown menu. Our improved calendar provides up to date information for farmers markets, food distributions, public meals, blood drives and other community services. This public calendar allows our community members to better plan their days; providers can share and sync their organization’s google calendar. Moving forward, we will continue to add events and information that benefit our community.
Today and every Thursday of the season, the NCGA is hosting the Henderson Center Farmers’ Market, Henderson at F Street in Eureka, from 10:00 until 1:30pm.

Join Sue Moloney for another addition of “Off the Cuff” this Thursday at 7pm on KMUD radio. Her guest will be Dr. Paul Connett. Dr. Connett is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on Fluoride Toxicity. Connett is a graduate of Cambridge University. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Dartmouth College. He taught chemistry and toxicology for 23 years at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. He started Fluoride Action Network in 2000 and serves as it’s Executive Director. FAN is one of the largest organizations opposing water fluoridation worldwide. They will be discussing the state of fluoride legislation nationwide. That’s this Thursday evening at 7pm right here on KMUD.
Reminder, burn permits are required for ALL open burning. Burn hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Burn piles are limited to 4’ x 4’, unless otherwise stated by a fire agency. You can only burn vegetative matter.
Today, Thursday, June 5th, is a permissive burn day in Humboldt, Mendocino, Del Norte, and Trinity counties.
As of May 1st, , the CAL FIRE Humboldt – Del Norte Unit requires both Standard and Non-Standard Burn Permit holders in State Responsibility Areas, to also obtain a CAL FIRE Burn Permit. A North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District (NCUAQMD) burn permit is still required year-round and contains the permittee’s designated burn zone.
This concludes the Community Safety and Awareness Report, read weekdays at 11 and 3pm and as needed to bring you up to the minute road reports, burn permission status, emergency updates as well as programming information. We encourage our listeners to bookmark our new community resources and calendar page for up to date and detailed information of all the services our community offers, including a new, exhaustive 88- page compilation from the DHHS.
