On February 5, Elan Firpo attended a meeting
in Hoopa organized by the community which was packed to capacity and was
organized to discuss the challenges and issues and solutions to dealing with the meth problem in the Hoopa
Valley community.
The meeting was also attended by 5th District Supervisor
Ryan Sundberg. Elan said the meeting started at 5:30 p.m. and she was there
until 10:00 p.m. Elan said that she is glad that she attended this
meeting for the full 4.5 hours because many feelings were shared and personal stories.
Out of respect for the community, she does not want to share details of what
was shared in a blog post and she is very appreciative of the trust and being
included at this meeting.
“The Hoopa Valley community is keenly interested in dealing with their meth problem,” said Elan. “They are especially concerned about the influence it is having on their youth. Humboldt County is very diverse and each area needs to focus on the best solution and strategies for the meth problem in their community. I am traveling all over the County, making myself available to discuss strategies and offer my help.”

She added, “the many challenges and problems in this county are not limited to
Eureka and Arcata,” said Firpo. “We have to reach out to all of the communities
in this county on all these issues.”
