Welcome everybody to Sheboygan Lutheran High Schooler tonight, Lutheran host Usberg in a CLC game. My name is Chris Wright and join me is Brad Bulkall. Mike Martin's gone tonight he's helping out to Sheboygan A's in a fundraiser so Brad's here for the second time to step in. Tonight we got a team in Usberg that's undefeated coming into a house that's just jam-packed playing a Lutheran team that's 16 and five featuring Sam Decker. Let's talk a little bit about Usberg. The place is packed and things like that. What is Usberg playing for tonight? They're undefeated and things what are they playing for? Well they're playing to get the rhythm and their mindset right for the upcoming playoffs packed house is a good good atmosphere to get get in that playoff mode. Now Sheboygan Lutheran they're lost big time last time to Usberg down at their place but Sam Decker a very important player obviously was sick and things like that. What's Lutheran playing for? A Lutheran same thing to get get ready for the for the playoffs coming up for the tournament. Sam to get his rhythm right and get his scoring going as well as his teammates to get involved and help them out in a tough environment. Well now Usberg what do you do if you have to stop a player like Sam Decker?  Now on the other side last week Sheboygan Lutheran lost the game to Ozaki. Sam Decker got his points but it seemed like the rest of the Lutheran players just didn't get the points that they needed to help them get over that hump. You know Sam's gonna have to distribute the ball or what are they gonna have to do to get themselves in the rhythm not only for tonight but for the tournament? I would say a little bit of both you know Sam has to get his points to get his rhythm going and you know being the being their their go-to player but the you know his teammates also have to step up that's are gonna be very important in the tournament so it's a little bit of both. All right well tonight we got a very close game tonight it's gonna be packed house I mean you should see the cars are parked for miles here it's just a big game when we return we'll have the starting lineup. Almost half of all parents who suspect their child has a problem learning wait a year or more before getting them help why when there's so much they could be achieving kids with learning disabilities are smart they just learn differently call or visit us on the web now.   If you need me this weekend I'll be here filling out your expense reports and time sheets because that's really the only kind of math I can handle. Great simple addition and subtraction sound right up your alley. Have a great weekend in the country sir. I'll have the starting lineup for Sheboygan Lutheran number 23 is Jack Zach Shenzema. Shenzema averaging eight points the game he is a senior number 21 is Jacob Wheeler he's averaging 8.3. Wheeler also a senior. Number five is also a senior that's Dane Coles his brother Taylor played here a few years back. The four senior Zach Nicholson he's averaging six points the game and rounding out the starting five is number one Sam Decker. Number two in the state and scoring at 29.5 points the game. Lutheran of course is coached by Todd Decker. Wolfberg is coached by Kevin Brunig it's his 13th year and I believe Decker this could be his 14th it should be 16th year. Shboygan Lutheran comes in 16 and 5, 13 and 4 in the league they're fighting for second with Ozaki. Wolfberg 21 and 0 17 and 0 in conference little delay there's a couple young fans down there that want to sit at the end of the bench so they're gonna try to get some chairs and those are managers junior managers very junior managers. Place is full tonight Brad. There you go. Wolfberg gets the tap. Huberty number five Brad Princeton number two Alex Decker he runs the show does a very nice job of handling the rock he's just a five-seven junior at Huberty number ten like Keller walked with the ball that's Mike Keller shot by Princeton is missed and Lutheran out on the break three point attempt there by Nicholson and it's good for Lutheran. A little carry. Turn over there for Usberg. Probably gonna be a little nervous to start with tonight huh Brad? Yeah with big big crowd it's on the road like we said in the opening it's good good tune up for the tournament. Zach Nicholson there he's number three Wheeler 21 that's post number five you can hit the three tell you one thing that Usberg does do is play great D but bang oh Wheeler. Well there's your answer for the supporting cast for Lutheran coming out hot. Probably gonna get the following Huberty there his first denying Decker the big finish. Yep I think I would have brought the house down. Yep I was just talking to somebody before when Lutheran went over to Ozaki Ozaki's fans didn't say a word the student section until they got to ten and then they went bonkers and the Lutheran kids didn't know what hit them. Decker hits the first and a quick seven nothing lead in the first 70 seconds here and the second eight nothing Huberty for three it's off the mark. Nicholson to Decker. Decker being guarded by Mark Keller right to the racket in. That's how he started against Sheboygan another carry. That's how Decker started a couple weeks ago against Christian got got his rhythm going with slashing to the basket and opened up his outside shooting for the second half five time out. Well good defense there by Ozaki excuse me Usberg to force that time out and also just like that the place is quiet but 10 to nothing in a minute 35 just a 30 second time out you know Usberg I'm watching their bench here they're very calm you know let them play through it a little bit Brad. Yep seeding's out already both teams already got their number one seed. Usberg ranked number two in Division four Sheboygan-Lutzen right number nine in Division five. We'll talk about the tournament as the game goes on. Well there's a foul on Tyler Hartman the sophomore over the back of Jacob Wheeler the second team foul. Man to man full court presser. Yeah and Usberg plays such good D Brad and they are just up in you.  Try to disrupt that early rhythm that Luther's got going. Wheeler looking over to coach Decker for some sign of signature sign play here and it's a steal. Good pick by Mike Keller to the rack and good. Well we knew that Usberg was going to score sometime tonight. There's a basket for Zach Genzema and a foul. A block there on Tyler Hartman. It's now 12 to 2. A little long on the free throw. Right to the basket post Mark Keller it's short and there's a rebound by Polk. Here comes Polk. Over to Wheeler. Polk lots of pressure on him Brad Princeton all over and look at that good defense. Good double team there by Keller. How Luther handles the press sure with the hand and I almost got the steal Brad. That's right. There you can see us right down there. You can see me waving. I think you would have put it down on the breakaway. I'm Chris Wright joining me tonight Brad Bulkham. Mike Martin at a fundraiser for the Sheboygan ace tonight. We're happy to have Brad here. A lean in by Princeton there. Genzema I believe. Yeah they got Genzema. That's just his first foul. First foul on Luther and it's 12 to 2. 5-10 here in a very full packed house of Luther and Usberg people. Usberg always travels well though Brad. One out of two trip. It's a 12 to three. Oh and Decker turned it over. Hartman back over to Keller. Good ball moments back to Keller. Good back tap to Stekker. That's Brad Princeton number five. Mest and we're going to get a follow on Alex Stekker. You know Brad you mentioned something in the opening. This is a great tune up for the tournament. You know most likely their first round teams are not going to be as strong. So this you know playing a game like this and then probably not a good team. You know it's really good thing to have. Yep Both with an easy chance. Oh but he mislaid it. Probably should have stopped and then put it back in but Usberg's back down the other way. There's Mark Keller. Take it all the way in. Passed it to Mike Keller but I think we're going to get a follow here on Jacob Wheeler. No excuse me. Genzema that's going to be his second. Genzema's a second leading scorer on Lutheran. Into the lineup is Jesse Verveldi and out comes Hartman. Just a second follow on Lutheran. 430 left. Mark Keller over to his brother Mike Keller who shoots and it goes in. Usberg's got some good ball movement. They just got to get some shots to start dropping like that one. How many charge. Well I think in charge or a walk but unfortunately they got the foul on Wheeler there. Still called a turnover. Third foul on Lutheran. First on Wheeler. 12 to 5. It's been a very exciting up and down start to this basketball game. Lutheran's put there in the zone there for a minute I guess. Well a good take there by Keller but he got it over Decker but he couldn't put it in. Lutheran back with it. Well now that time Sam didn't set his feet but a nice offensive rebound by Josh Wheeler. Decker all over the Lutheran player there but you saw Decker get the rebound and put it back in. Keller with the foul. There you go. And up and down we go. Pulse number five looking to get into the post to Decker but good pressure there. Ball pressure by Princeton and another Lutheran turnover. Pass at the feet from the pressure.  Oh you handle the pressure.  The perimeter players for Lutheran are kind of kind of rushing themselves and that's not taking care of the ball making good passes. Well on the other hand Princeton goes in there but a second opportunity for Mike Keller and it's now 14-9. It was 12-2 10-0 but just like that. Oh the verveldi. I'll miss you for just the verveldi. Three chances. It's the third. And it falls. The momentum has definitely swung. You know and again we talked about the beginning you watched the Usberg bench real calm down 10-0 nobody panicked no timeouts just kind of played through it and defensively they've got themselves back in this ball game. Can't convert to three-point play. Usberg just one of three from the free throw line so far. Nicholson there went right to the basket but look at that quick defense by Usberg on the recovery. Pulse went right to the basket he gets blocked and they're saying it's going to be off of Usberg and Luther will keep it underneath. Might have to put Decker down low in the post to maybe get a few post shots to have a back off the pressure a little bit from the perimeter. Decker trying to go through three people. They're going to travel. They'll call a walk. I don't know about that. Yeah I don't know I was watching his feet so I'm watching the replay here. No way. That was a bad call. 14-11 at the two minute mark of the first quarter. Princeton again driving and now they're going to call Usberg on the travel and there's your makeup. I was going to say was that actually a traveler or was that the old-fashioned makeup? And now Coach Brunig wants to know what happened. Here you'll see it. Oh that's just a bad call. Good pivot foot. Coach Decker should argue on that side. There you're going to get a foul. Nicholson got the breakaway. Mike Keller with the foul. That's his first. And Luther has been stuck on 14 for a while. It was 10 to nothing. 12 to 2. That was 14 to 5. Finally Nicholson gets one the foul. And he gets them both. Now they got their zone it looks like. Missed there by Vervell the I believe. Hulse over to Nicholson. That's Hulse again number five. Decker driving. Looks like he's definitely trying to get into the basket. Maybe best to go down in the post and try to get an entry pass instead of dribbling through the defender and all the help. Alex Stecker number two. Good swing pass to the corner. I don't think that was a swing pass though. It was a classic cross court pass. Oh it's good ball reversal. I always like that skip pass. You know against the uh you know everybody overplays. Backstream guys. Yep. They're going to get Princeton there on the offensive foul on the push off there. Now Decker's got it on Stecker. He's going to go right to that guy. The five seven on the six seven. Out to Nicholson. Back to pole, pole shoots. Doesn't go. Offensive rebound for Wheeler and another Lutheran turnover. Another rushed pass. Yep. Nimmer trying to get it to Decker there. 52 seconds left in the first quarter. 16 to 11. Stecker number two. Trying to look inside. There it is. Yep. Gets it in the call. It gets real close. Too far underneath and Wheeler follows them and the basket goes and another three point opportunity for Usberg. Well yeah it's a nice move to square up and take the one strong dribble to the left and finish. Coming in is Tyler Haasenstein. 18 seconds left. Coach Decker trying to get a couple guys, a couple extra seconds of rest before the quarter ends and another missed free throw. One of four tonight. We're down to 14 seconds. I don't think Decker's going to give it up here. No. Nine, eight, six, five. From way downtown. No. Good hustle by Nimmer. It's not going to go. At the end of one quarter of play it's Sheboygan Lutheran 16. Usberg 13. My cell phone number and John's cell phone number and number the restaurant where we're going to be and oh I've left you my pager number two just in case because you never know. John you have the gift. The odds of a babysitter calling 9-1-1. One in 1400. Anything should happen. Please don't hesitate. The odds of a child being diagnosed with autism one in 150. You know the odds of autism. Now learn the signs.   Tell me about some of the stuff you've had to do with. I just dropped out completely. I just got caught up in it. The whole scene with the alcohol and the drugs. I was arrested. A lot of my friends they were really concerned especially my friend Erin. You just have to find someone. They don't have to tell you advice. They don't have to do that. They just listen. Give Frankie and our class of 08 the boost they need to graduate. Join us at boostup.org. There we are Brad. Eric getting a good shot there. Scott Nealoff is in the truck tonight. Not too cold out there 33 degrees or so but it's hot in here. Very. And another Lutheran turnover. Just a difficult time handling the pressure. Yeah 16 to 13 at the 739 mark of the first half. Hussbergs clawed themselves back in here and whoop a rare turnover for them as Princeton wasn't ready for the pass there. Pulse 21 is Jacob Wheeler back to Decker. Been covered all night by number 23 Mark Keller 6 5 senior. He and his brother Mike. There's Decker from way downtown looking for a bank but he misses it. Pulse with a second opportunity. His shackles up. It's blocked. Jump ball here. Jump ball. I thought it was blocked. It went off Pulse leg to be honest with you. They're talking. Yeah Mark Keller said you know I don't know about that. Of course their dad Craig Keller and Brad and I both play with him. Here's a steal by Lutheran. Pulse with a lap and good. Pulse first points of the night makes it 18 to 18 to 13. There's Decker. Huberty gets in there blocked by Decker. Princeton goes in there gets blocked by Decker. And out with it comes Jacob Wheeler and the Crusaders. Nicholson doing a lot of dribbling and not going anywhere and he turns it over. Princeton picks it up. Stecker who hasn't even had a chance at a three yet. He gets to the basket. Misses rebound by Jensma. Trying to get it down to Pulse was Wheeler and again another Lutheran turnover. Here comes Keller. Princeton jumps right into Wheeler and gets the foul offensive. Oh they do call it. You're right Brad. I know I saw the reaction on Princeton for Woosburg. He didn't look happy. He's still not happy though. And that's two fouls he's got. And both are offensive. Here you'll see the replay. He just kind of jumps into. Oh they just almost never call that. That would have been better to just leave it alone. And another Lutheran turnover. You know the thing is they always look to the side. You know what? Take care of the ball boys. That's what Coach Decker is saying. Don't look at me. It's a hot potato. They're trying to get rid of it. They're doing a good job. I think Stecker can really get to the basket on Lutheran. Here's Keller. Mark Keller. Nice pass. Backdoor cut. Boom. Two points for Mark Keller. Like this that one in the driveway. And on the other end comes Lutheran. Gentleman scores. 20 to 15. Gentleman with his fourth point. Yeah Coach Decker put him back in with the two two fouls in the first half yet. So just wanted the offensive help. Oh in tight. There was Mike Keller. Keller leads all scores. He's got 10. Well that's wrong. He's got three. Decker for three. Can't find the mark yet. But you know what? You got to keep shooting. Rebound to Stecker. Back to Keller. He can't put it in. Gentleman with another rebound. He's got a bow load. Looks a little tired though. Pulse closely guarded by Jesse Vervaldi. Pulse gets in there tight and now he's going to get called for a charge. Yeah. Let's see Keller had his feet planted and waiting for that one. So Saia Vervaldi comes in. He's the sixth, seventh sophomore. Pulse with his first foul. That's team foul number six for Lutheran. Seven on Usberg. 422 mark. Nick Rediker in the lineup.  Stecker on the drive. Kicks it out over to Jesse Vervaldi. Stecker thinks otherwise of shooting. Hartman to the basket. Keller trying to squeeze in there. Does! Backtip by Keller. Good work by Keller. And he gets rewarded with a basket. That's good hustle. Nice and strong Vervaldi. That's your leading score tonight. Mike Keller. Not Mark Keller. I was going to tell you before that Mark Keller was your leading score but it's Mike Keller. Either way he has 10 points. M Keller. Hubertsie coming back in the lineup. Brent Wilter-Dink. Very senior lead laden squad in Usberg. I remember seeing him as a freshman playing the Raider shootout on the JV tournament and I knew these guys were going to be good. Two free throws for Decker. Gives him eight on the night. Hubertsie. Yeah. Hubertsie comes right back with a three. Miss shot for Luther and here comes Stecker. That's another one. He's feeling it. Good rebounding position there by Nick Redeker. Decker to the basket. Bumped a little bit. No call. Hubertsie with the rebound. We're tied at 22. Usberg with a chance to get their first lead. I'm going to call this on the ground and Revelli's going to have to earn it at the strike. Butch Brunig was going to send in two colors but he decided to send one in at a time. Pacing. Or maybe he didn't want to confuse you. Probably the better of the ideas. Revelli made the first one. Missed the second one but he does give them their first lead of the night. 23 to 22. Tending up can start for Lutheran but Usberg brawled their way back and at the three minute mark they finally got the lead. Nicholson on the drive. Shoots. Misses. Revelli on the rebound. Gets it to Stecker. Bounce pass. Good ball moon by Usberg. Swinging it. Revelli trying to get the screen to Hubertsie. Revelli was going to shoot. Thinks otherwise. Stecker driving on Nicholson. Stecker gets himself deep. Good swing pass out to Revelli. No. Rebound for Decker. 209 in the first half. One point lead for Usberg. That's Decker from way down there. He misses Nicholson with the rebound. Kicks it out for a three for Wheeler. He can't get it. Another reload for Lutheran. How about a third chance? No. Never could get it. Three threes all missed by Lutheran. You got to like the attempts. They're just not going in. Going to get a foul on Lutheran. Well that's three. I think they're going to get Jensma on there and that's going to be his third foul. And the post comes in for Jensma. In for Usberg. Jesse Vervelli. Mike Keller is going to come in here in a second. And a one out of two trip. But the only thing they're not doing very well is shooting free throws. One, two, three. About seven. Three for eight. 24-22. Decker with the ball. He's got eight points. Good defense there by Mark Keller. Pulse gets it over to Carl Nimmer. Decker trying to find some room. Trying to use that offhand. They've got a hold on Vervelli. Sam's got to watch all. He kind of tries to create space.  Yeah, very good ball pressure. Not giving much room. I don't know what you think with the between the leg dribble. Sometimes that's not the quickest and most efficient. Oh, I use it all the time. Why? Why? I know that. But I'm not quick. It goes well. More efficient. It goes well with the no look behind the back pass. No, I agree what you're saying. If you're going to use that between the leg dribble, you use that to cross over to get to a place and then attack the basket. Just doing it out in nowhere to create no space or anything like that's not going to get it done. I always like to use it, you know, between your legs and then you're going to go left or you're going to go right. But if you're just doing it at the top, it's not getting anything done. Decker with a one out of two trip. Makes it 24 to 23. And Boosberg throws it away. Keller had them sealed for the drop step, but I think tripped over the paint on the box down there maybe. Or it could have been a foot in the water. Yeah, a foot. One minute left in the first half, 24-23. Decker with a swing. Someone's got to help and make one. And finally, Josh Wheeler gets one down. That might be big if they can still carry the lead in the halftime of the momentum lifter. 26-24. 40 seconds left. There's that between the legs dribble again. Yeah. Decker goes, kicks it back out to Vrvaldi for three. Ooh, it looked right on target. Good. Play by Decker to keep it alive. Vrvaldi walks. He walks. Back in my day that between the legs dribble was showboating and you could yell that for that kind of stuff. Now it's just normal. 30 seconds left here. The last thing Luton wants to do is turn it over here. They would like to keep it for one last possession and shot. Decker has nine and a half. Traveled and picked up his foot. And again, looking to the bench. Now sometimes that just doesn't solve the problem. And they get Hubertzi. Hubertzi, a very good shooter. They like to get him off the double screen at the top, Brad. Watch for him to run something, maybe get a double pick or stream so he can right at the top of the circles there. Shoot a three-pointer. 12 seconds. Nine, eight. I think they had it. The pass was a little high. Alex would like that one back, that's for sure. Six seconds left. Nicholson to Decker from about half court. And that ends the half. 26, 24, Lutron. Personal foul, inactive activities on a glorious day.  When do I get to be in? Uh-oh. Hey Reggie, frozen people can't talk. I'm in. There are lots of great play ideas online, but don't stay too long.

Welcome back here. Here you see the Lutron band. 26 to 24, Lutron lead. Let's look at the halftime scoring a little bit. For Foosberg, they were led by Mike Keller. He had 12. Number 23, Mark Keller had four. Jesse Verveldi, he had two. Brant Wilter Dink had one. Josiah Verveldi had one. Brad Princeton had one and 10 for Nicholas, excuse me, three for Nicholas Huberty. Swoy and Lutron was led by Sam Decker. He had nine. Zach Gensema, he had four. Jacob Wheeler, he had three. Wheeler, Josh Wheeler has had four. Zach Nicholson had five and Dane Pulse added two. Thoughts about the first half, Brant? Good composure by Woosberg. It's a weather of the big storm at the beginning and slowly worked the way back. I guess I have to wait and see if Lutron came up with a better strategy in the halftime to deal with the pressure. He's just joining me. Joining us, I'm Chris Wright. Mike Martin's gone tonight. I'm joined by Brad Bulkow. Brad played on the 93 Cheboyga North state runner-up team. Glad that he could join us. Lutron started off real fast. They're up 10 to nothing and 14 to five, but Woosberg actually called back to have the lead 23 to 22. But as we entered the second half, Lutron got the lead back 24-23. And there was a shot by Jacob Wheeler and it does not fall. That was better. They had better ball movement, but Woosberg didn't really have as much pressure there on that possession. Well, Mark Keller took it to the basket and they got deflected. And they say it went off, Mark. And he didn't say anything, so maybe it did. You know what I like about Woosberg is they just play. They don't talk to the officials. They just are after you. They never complain. Remember watching the Woosberg Girls program. They did the same thing. They'd all look real pretty and real nice and things like that.  I just remember watching some of their teams over the years. Keller keeps it alive. Keller gets it back and he goes to the basket. That's a nice move there by Keller, but it doesn't fall. Pulse against Princeton. Wheeler, no. I'll tell you, Lutron isn't shooting well and they're not taking care of the ball well. Not a good combination. New. Mark Keller with a turnover. Here's Decker on him. He's getting bumped all the way up there. Decker with a rare miss. He hits one up two. 27-24. 6-24. And Keller has got 12 points. Misses an easy one there. Here comes Lutron and finally dial up three for Decker. 30-24. And just like that, he's up to 13 points. Let's see if he can keep the touch going.  First team foul on Lutron. He has second foul. Keller with an easy one. He's good at catching that ball strong right in the lane. Well, he's tall and lanky. Officially going up and that's not wasting any moves or dribbles. Both Keller boys are very athletic, very wirely, but a jump. I think they're going to get Princeton on the reach there and for him that's his third and he's had a tough night with the fouls. That's for sure. Just like that, Kevin Bruning gets Jesse Verveldi back in. Jesse had a nice first half. It's like Gensima came back in for Lutron. He's got three fouls as well, so we'll have to see see how long he's able to go. Pulse. Oh, good idea. Gensima tried to get it to Decker. Here's Stecker on a breakout. Nice use of his body to block the defender there. Well, Pulse either had, well, I was going to say either Pulse going to have to let him go or follow him hard and he does that and it doesn't go in. Stecker will get a chance with a couple free throws here, Brad. Yeah, his body right in between him and the ball to get up. Yeah, and keep the ball on the right side for young players out there.  He used his body well and that one to go. That's what you learn when you're five foot seven playing with all these big guys out there. Pulse comes out of the game. He has three fouls now and Stecker hits the ball. 30 to 28 now, 518 left. Full court pressure all night. Lutron has really not done a great job of breaking it. And Decker gets stuffed. He got hit below the belt and Keller is going right to the basket. Swings it out. Now it goes to the top with Stecker. Keller, Valdee, that's Stecker. Good help deed by Wheeler that was. Tipped away and out of bounds and he'll stay with Usberg. I'm impressed with Usberg too that they've been pressing and the pressure defense and strong in offense and they don't even really look winded. Lutron looks a little, they're grabbing their shorts and bending over a little bit on the timeouts and held balls and things like that, but. Well they exert so much, oh nice back door cut there. Keller to Keller and we're tied. Just going to say Lutron exerts so much energy breaking the press and that takes a lot out of you in a ball game. Just wearing them down as they say. I think they're going to get that foul on Jesse Vervalde. No, Hubert, see I'm sorry. His second, third on Usberg. 16 points now for Mike Keller and they get a foul there on Josh Wheeler. Stepping out on that screen, Brad. Yeah. 30 to 30. Mark Keller a little long with the three, two Lutron guys with the rebound. Could have been a travel. Yep. Nicholson takes it away. Decker from way out there. It's no good. Swinging it back to Keller to the rack and good for Mark Keller and Usberg takes the lead again. And a good timeout by Coach Decker. Nice left hand in that move. Well it's going to be a full timeout so we're going to take a break. It's 32-30, Usberg. There's online friends, friends to go out with on a Saturday night. Friends to hang out with and do nothing. Friends who show up on moving day. And then there are the friends who'll be there if someone is dealing with a mental illness. Are you one of those friends? I'm just throwing it out there. I don't remember the Beatles. I don't know about that either. 80 run for Usberg to take a 32-30 lead with 3-36 left. Lutron has the ball underneath. Good timeout there by Coach Decker. Oh, there you go. Foul and the basket. Count the flush. We'll get the crowd back back into the game here, see if they can carry the momentum. See across the way we got Coach Destotel and Kirk Davis there in the house. Here you see the long pass and the flush. And a three-point play made to give Lutron the lead back. 16 points now for Decker. Keller driving. Keller for three. 35-33. Lot of contact. No fouls called. Well, Mark Keller has point number seven, eight and nine. Wheeler had stacked Nicholson to senior. Lot of contact out there. Decker, deep. Could be short. Good position there by Mike Keller. And they're on the break. Right to the basket for Keller. And good. Mike Keller and Mark Keller having a half. And here comes Lutron on Decker for two. Here we go. Back again with Keller. Keller and Keller. Keller and Keller. I think that's Amkeller that scored that one. That one will give to Mike. All right. Oh, here comes Decker again. And it counts and it's good. Wow. Some action back and forth here all of a sudden. Is that well timed out by Coach Decker that's got him going again. Loosberg leads by two. 224, Mark. Now it looks like we've got everybody grabbing their shorts. And Sam misses the free throw. Sam now has 20 points. 39-37. In tight there with Wilter Dink, but he's just short. Good attempt there by Wilter Dink. Here's Decker with Keller on him. Decker's the only loser player to score here in the quarter, Brad. Add three more. Well, he keeps going like that and keep going to him on Decker. 23 points now for Decker. 29 is his average. Lutron grabs the lead back. 29-25. Sam looks a little tired up, Brad. Let's be a bad idea to give him a quick blow. Or just go to the basket and score two more. Yeah, I think they're gonna let him keep going until he misses. 25 points now for Decker. Inside to Keller, he gets his own rebound between two Lutron guys. No foul calls and out with it is Nimmer over to Decker. 115 left, 42-39. Lutron, double team there. Mike Keller now on a good swing pass. Nicholson. Sam Decker is deep. Not too deep for him though. Gets it into Jens Amund. He can't get it to go. Coach Decker wanted that one. Stekker on the breakout. Sam needs a blow. He is really tired. 45 seconds left in the quarter. 42-39. It's been a very exciting quarter. Yes, very good. Decker. Decker and Keller. Keller is a scored along with just a two-up point basket by Stekker. Vervelli, 13-10. Swings it out humorously. He can bang that home. And he does. One. Well, that's about as good as you can do that for Woosberg. Taking the clock down about five seconds and hitting the three. All tied going to the fourth. At least start fourth quarter. Action is going to be 42-42. Television is a powerful and influential medium that allows different groups the opportunity to produce programming that directly affects their own communities.

On the other end, Huberty just banged one from there. That's four. I believe on Jensima. That's on him. Princeton got in deep. Princeton the second leading score. Started the year. He's at 11 a game. Mark Keller leads. Woosberg at 13 a game. Huberty at 9-6. Mark Keller at 8 and Stecker at 7 and a half. And a missed free throw there. They have not shot free throws well tonight. They're just three, excuse me, five of 11. But he, oh, that's going to save. He's going to get that one, but he doesn't. Wheeler was wide open. He didn't even shoot. Brad, you and I would have shot that. Keller playing to good D. Decker trying to squeeze it. Yep. Now we're going to get a follow on Poulsen. That's going to be his fourth. 44-42, 7-10 remaining in quarter number four, which has been a very exciting game. You got to call the travel.  Not saying he didn't travel. Oh, Decker missed that one. Inside of Huberty. Oh, he missed an easy layup. You'd like to have that one back. Break for Luther in there. Up fight two and the ball. Wheeler going to the basket. No. Which way are you going to call this foul? Yeah. I don't know about that one. Two guys going for the ball and a little shoving going on and they're going to call that one on. They are going to call it on this work. Okay. Watch how he kind of cleared them out. He was the one that pushed them back. I would say it would have been a, I would have said it was a no call. But if it's a call on anybody, it would have to be on Housper. Yeah. That's a tough call for him though. But I want to let that one go. Both guys fighting for the ball. Luther keeps it. Skip pass over to Nicholson. He hasn't hit one since way early. Pull through the rebound. No. And now I believe that that's on Pulse. That's going to be his fifth. And not only will that be his fifth, that'll put Housper at the line in a bonus. You think these officials, when they got their contracts, knew what today's game was going to be all about? They know anything about the Housper Nation and every Lutheran basketball fan is here. One thing is, like I said, the North and South aren't playing. The girls aren't playing. So if you like basketball, you're in the house tonight.  The house is full and the kids are putting on a good show. Definitely.  This is the best time of year. High school, college. I suppose the NBA got another two months before you have to watch that. About three months. Travel. Been a traveling call on Keller and they've called a lot of those tonight. Housper defeated at 21-0. Lutheran comes in at 16-5. Housper's already clinched the conference. Lutheran trying to end up in a tie for second with Ozaki. Six-12 remaining. That's Jacob Wheeler, senior with the ball. Good job by Nicholson to get the ball. He puts it up. It's going to be short. And there's a rebound there by Jesse Verveldi. Both teams now in the bonus. And there's a follow there by Decker. You know, I might give Sam like 30-second blow here. You know, let him sit during his free throws. And they bring Jensama back in. He's got four fouls. Comes back in for Tyler Housenstein. Give him a blower to start, use your full timeouts to rest him every two minutes and save you 30 seconds for at the end if you need to stop the clock or set something up. Keller hits the first. His 19th point on the night. Make it 20 for him as well. We're all tied at 44. Decker applying the pressure there on Nicholson. Decker gets double teamed by the Keller. Finds Jensama, but he can't finish. And you got to finish, son. He almost got a foul too on reaching back on the rebound. That's what we're saying at the beginning, Brad. You're going to have to get contributions. And that one, Jensama's got to finish. He was going right at Decker and he draws the foul. Second foul on Decker. Second one in about a minute. Chris right along with Brad Bulkow, WSDS. Hopefully we'll have some playoff action if we do. We'll have it in the paper for you. A lot of teams that see it very well. Lutheran gets a buy. Then they'll, Usper gets a buy. Norse gets a buy. Decker right to the basket on Keller. Keller might have bailed them out a little bit there by, I think there's a little contact, but kind of let them go. I don't think he would have had too, too good of a look. Decker hits the first free throw. Hits them both. Oh, nice. In the Keller for two more. Too easy. Now, Usper gets a turnover. Has the ball and the lead. 47 to 46. We're at the five minute mark. Jensama out again. Keller again. That timeout for Lutheran. Full timeout. Yeah. With that timeout. The rest time. Yeah. With that timeout, we'll take a quick break. 49-46. Usper. Fashion show. We went blue on to look my best now. Jenny, Jenny. We started our book report. Here's the cover. Yeah. Now all we need is a beginning, a middle, and an end. Jenny. Jenny, Jenny. Hi, honey. Are you feeling blue? What's wrong with being blue? Where should I start? If you're a teen dealing with stress, there's help. Visit the Will Rogers Institute website for a free booklet about teen stress and how you can de-stress your life. Welcome back to Lutheran High School, where Usper has taken a three-point lead. Big miss by Jensama before, Brad. You don't want to point at one thing, but when you get him underneath there and post games like this, you got to just finish. I think the next minute or two is going to be very important here. Lutheran's going to make a few baskets and stay in the game and keep it close. Otherwise, if Usper gets a few more here, it might turn in their favor for the rest of the game. Well, another thing is Usper, they get the ball back. Lutheran's going to have to foul and just start adding up. There's a turnover by Decker. And we're going to have a one-on-one, just as we said, a foul. 429 in the left in the ballgame. Lutheran just has one basket here in the quarter. Sam Decker has a couple free throws and Usper is starting to make them free throws. Add two to the just like that. It's now 51 to 46. Entering the quarter was 44 to 42. Lutheran, Usper is starting to wear down Lutheran and pull away a little bit. It's goal time for Lutheran and there's Decker. He's fouled on a three. And that's a mistake there. Mark Keller knows it. Never follow a jump shooter, Brad. I probably told you that when you played for me. Yes, of course. Several times. Of course, that was a long time ago. It wasn't a jump shot back then, just set shots. Decker's going to get three chances here and he makes number one. Needs all three of them. Set shots and underhand free throws, I think. And the narrow lane. Decker's hit all his free throws here in the quarter. Yep. And now he's up to 30 points and pulls Lutheran within two. 51 to 49. Back to our customer, Decker. Decker with his sixth point of the game. That's Nichols, excuse me, Wheeler. Wheeler for three. Oh, looked right on mark. Good hustle by Jensma. But he can't get in here. Stecker and he can really control the basketball game. He's a very good point guard and leader for the flying Dutchman. Always under control. How about him? Good body control with that shot in the one earlier where he got the foul. It's he scored the last six points for Roosburg. Decker, there's a body. Decker willing his team back into the game. Got some news for you here, Brad. Yes. All the points for Lutheran. The second half. Except for a basket. In the second half. By Sam Decker. Four point lead for Roosburg. Good decision there by Reveldi to kick it out. Yeah, looks like they're going to take the arrow of the ball unless they come out to get them. Gene Smith. I go guard them. I'm down by four. I'm down by four and they got the rock. Three minutes left. Lutheran is manning up but not close enough. Not enough. Yeah, not close enough. They're afraid to be driven on. Genzema's got the four fouls. That's too far away for Nicholson. Decker's right there. Good flop by Stecker but the officers are smart enough not to call it. Here you're going to get one. Wheeler with the foul and that's foul number 10 on Lutheran. So that means two free throws for Alex Decker. Decker scored the last six points for Lutheran including a couple free throws. Got the second one to fall is now 651. And a bad turnover for Lutheran. It's a bad turnover. Roosburg has the ball and the five point lead. Decker's going right to the basket. Picks it out to Keller. Very smart outfit this is for a group. They got the lead against North. Held out and got the victory. Yeah, go get the ball. They're valdy. Two minutes now. Lutheran is too far away. They're so afraid they're going to be driven on but you know what? Yeah. Roosburg doesn't need to score so you got to get up on them. Just wearing them down, wearing them down. Too far away. No double teams. Got to stay up on your man. Within three feet. Yeah. 136. At least 30 seconds runoff by Roosburg. And if I was a Roosburg fan, I'd be on my feet that these boys are doing a good job. Keller. They're working harder. Here they come. Roosburg Nation. The Red Nation is on their feet. You better foul boys. You're down by five. It's the Dutch Nation, I believe, not the Red Nation. Okay. Keller's trapped. Back to Keller. You know when you work on this in practice, Brad, and this is the kind of stuff, you know, how long can you keep the ball on? Right now, it's over a minute and a half. You better foul. Way too long, I think, Brad. Way too long. Yep. Yeah. Roosburg definitely was more interested in working hard on offense to run the clock off than Lutheran was to get the ball back. Yeah. Take chances. At this stage in the game too, you can be as aggressive as you want getting the ball because either you get the ball or you get to follow which steps the clock. Exactly. Might as well take chances, get up in the passing lanes. Don't be afraid to double. And I'll tell you, Alex Stecker, kind of quiet all night. It's been the Keller boys, 24 points for Mike, and I believe 11 for Mark. And now it's a seven point deficit when Stecker scored the last nine points. That's off. Get it up right away. Somebody's got to hit one. Somebody's got to hit one. There it is. Four points. And Nicholson hits the three, but hopefully it's not too late. It's a full time out. We're going to keep it here, Scott. Brad, go for the steal and fall right away. Yep. Go aggressively for the steal. And like I said, if you don't get the ball in, you've got to fall. I just think that Lutheran took way too much time. You know, when I'm behind, I want to draw that game out. I don't care. It takes a month. You know, and right now what I'd be doing is putting in, you know, subs that can follow that have some follows to give.  But I'd be aggressive here. Put in your designated followers. Right. 36.3 on the clock. Richard Bartz on the top camera. Eric Weisman on the bottom camera and Scott Miloff in the truck. It's our last regular season game. Hopefully we'll have some playoffs for you. This has been a doozy and a full house. Glad we can bring it to you and WSCS. And again, probably something that Usberg's worked on a hundred times, breaking the press in the clutch and getting the ball in bounds. Right away, right away. 33, 32, 31. Nobody around. I've got it. Oh, geez. Get the ball. Way too much time. 11 seconds went off the clock and it's going to be two free throws for the senior Mark Keller. Princeton and Reveldi coming back in the game. And that's why you follow early. That's what they need. And that's why you follow early. Because you never know when it can miss any. For Lutheran here and Coach Decker saying we got to get the rebound first. Yep. If you trade one point for two points on the other end or three points on the other end, you need as many possessions as possible. One of two trips for Keller. 59, 54. Decker from deep. No. And the offensive rebound to who else? Alex Stecker. No baskets in the fourth quarter for Sam Decker. Got some free throws earlier. He's got 32 points. This will just about ice it. And it does. 61, 54. It's going to be real difficult for Lutheran right now. Just shoot it. What are you waiting for? And it's going to fall short. Stecker with the rebound. Followed by Lutheran. Well, Luthoran. Well, Luthoran's going to have an undefeated season. They're going to go 22 and 0. They enter tournament play. They are in division four. They will be playing the winner of Cedar Grove in Reedsville. Luthoran's ranked number two in the state. They have a sectional against Laconia, which is ranked number five, which is a very good squad. And Racine Luthoran, which is ranked number four. For Shmoygan Luthoran, they're going to play the winner of Christian and Oakville. Most likely, then, they'll play a Hustisburg squad. And then comes the big test, when they play number one ranked Randolph, which would be in a sectional semifinal. And if they're lucky to win that, they'll have to play a number 10 ranked Barnaville or Burlington, Catholic Central, who's been there before. But that's going to do it for us today. 63-54. I'll tell you what, Brad, Hustisburg just seemed to wear them down at the end. It's exactly what I was just thinking while they, yeah, they wore them down at the end, but they've been wearing them down all game.  Well, we asked for Luthoran. They're going to have to get some contribution in the second half. You got two baskets from other players, other than the name of Decker. That didn't help either. Nope, nope, nope. They needed to keep that hot shooting that they had in the first few minutes to carry over a few more threes or twos in the second half to lift the load. I think tonight, too, is a good test for tournament play as well. Yes, yes. They have very much tournament atmosphere with the crowd and the two tough teams going at it and playing hard. And so hopefully they'll prepare both, both squads for their upcoming, upcoming first round games. Well, that'll do us, do it for us tonight. Again, a very outstanding game, but Hustisburg came out on top. You can see the score there, 63 to 54. Eric Weisman was our cameraman on the floor. Richard Bartson was up above us doing a nice job. I'm sure it's a little warm up there. Scott Miloff was in the truck. I'm sure it's not as warm in there. But again, thanks for everybody watching for us. And hopefully we'll see you in playoff action. Once again, the final score, 63-54, Hustisburg. Thanks for watching, everybody. We'll see you down the road.


What's up everyone, Tate down here. Welcome back to another video. Today we're gonna be talking about me quitting my retail job five years ago. Yes, it's been five years since I quit my retail job. And honestly, I feel like that was the best decision I have ever made personally because I've had a lot of personal growth over the past five years and I feel a lot better right now. Now, if you guys don't remember five years ago, I was working at Canadian Tire. I started off working in the automotive department, basically stocking shelves. Then I jumped on to the parts counter where I'm answering the calls and I'm looking up parts for people and then I transitioned from there to the service advisor role and the parts and service advisor role because at our location, since it's a small town, there was no back parts, so we did it all. And parts and service was combined. So if you worked service, you would also help out parts. If you worked parts, you'd also help out service. So you'd have to learn both systems. And then from there I did also work in the shop as well. But it came to a point that's the one thing with Canadian Tire, whenever one boss leaves a location and a new boss comes to take over, that new boss, where he previously works, he can bring anybody that he wants with them. And it turns out he did bring somebody that ended up becoming the new service manager and he did take all of my hours instead of me being full-time at 40 hours. My hours were cut to 10 to 15 hours a week and that honestly was extremely hard to deal with, having my hours cut like that when I was such a good worker and I loved what I was doing. To now it's not really worth me being there. And I did that for six months. And the hardest part was in a normal eight-hour shift you have a ton to do, but whenever I was coming in and I was only working a three-hour shift and usually the evening where I was just by myself, not only do I still have to answer the phone and get parts for customers and order stuff and do my regular stuff like that, I still have to put stock away and put all the tags up and it's a lot to do in three hours. And I was basically expected to do everything that I normally would do in an eight-hour shift. I would do it in a three-hour shift and that just mentally takes a toll on you the longer that that goes on for. So I did it for about six months. I did have a breaking point.  The week I was supposed to come back, I came back and they canceled my shifts for the entire week. So not only did I have two weeks unpaid, they did slap another week on there as well as basically an FU. And from that point on, I knew I was gonna quit and I quit that following Friday and I just walked in and quit. And I did explain that in previous videos and a lot of people said, you know, that's not the way to quit.  Now if you expect to use that place of work as a reference, definitely give a two-week notice, go out the right way.    So that is exactly how I quit and honestly quitting that way, it felt absolutely the best. Like a weight was lifted off my shoulder and I finally quit. After that, as I did mention in previous videos, back then, like five years ago, I did take my security guard course and then I did purchase my first vehicle and then after that I did start working at the casino doing security over nights. Now back then I was getting full-time hours, now I'm about 24 to 32 hours a week but back when I was at Canadian Tire, I started off making $10 an hour. By the time I quit, minimum wage in Ontario had jumped up to $14 an hour. Currently what I'm making with minimum wage being, I believe $15 an hour, I'm currently making $25 an hour where I am currently working. So in my opinion, quitting my retail job five years ago to advance and try to get into what I'm doing now was definitely worth it. Was it the right way to quit? Not in everybody's eyes, but it felt good doing it and I didn't put any of them on my resume anyways as a reference because you don't have to. Most places, even if you put them as a work experience, if you're applying somewhere, most places aren't gonna call your former employer, they're gonna call who you have listed as a reference. So I only list people that I trust as a reference. Somebody I worked with at Canadian Tire for that five years that I trusted and still talk to and then the other two are where I currently work, people that are supervisors now, that used to be just employees, now they're supervisors and one of them had recently left but I still leave them on my resume because we're still kind of close. Also, since quitting retail, I have expanded myself, so I do have my reselling business that I work really hard on. Selling everything from video games to comic books, that's kind of my niche, but also other things and I do sell not only on eBay but Facebook Marketplace as well. I do ship a ton of stuff and I do have a lot of sales, so I do have some really great years and I do share those videos currently on the channel as my flipping for profit series but since quitting my retail job, not only have I gotten a way better job but I'm also doing my side hustle on the side along with YouTube which is starting to pay off as well. So I've done a lot more and I've definitely had a lot of personal growth since quitting my retail job and it did feel good doing that. And the reason I'm mentioning all of this not only is it for an update for you guys as what I did for the past five years since I quit my retail job, it's also a reminder to everybody that is working a retail job or a minimum wage job that you don't have to do it forever. You can move on and get some skills and get a higher paying job. It will take some time and it sometimes will take some sacrifices but it definitely can happen for you. Literally what I did, I quit my job because I was miserable at the time. I was financially stressed, I quit my job, I did my secret to get a course and then I got a higher paying job. When I started at the casino, I was making $17 an hour and I was driving an hour to work one way. So having all of that, I was basically with that driving distance, I was still likely making about the same I was making at Canadian Tire but then over the years, getting raises and doing really good at my job and everything else, I'm currently at $25 an hour and there still is annual increases and other increases throughout the year. So it definitely was worth it for me to make that switch, to quit my retail job and it definitely is worth it for others too if you do want to do something else or just do something else that does make you happier. Sometimes unfortunately it does take money to get the skills to be able to get that higher paying job but it definitely is worth investing in yourself to get to where you want with some kind of financial freedom whether it's a job that makes more money or for you to be able to do a side hustle a lot more, it is a lot of a better feeling than just working a minimum wage job and just living paycheck to paycheck. I do feel a little bit more financially free now than I did five years ago and if I didn't make that effort and make that huge jump and take that big risk, I wouldn't be where I'm at today if that makes sense. And this video is not really me trying to brag, look what I've done, it's me trying to give hope to others that they can do it too if they feel like they're stuck in a minimum wage job and they can't get out or they're stuck at a job they just don't like and they want to do something else they definitely can do it if they do take that risk and for me it did pay off now for some people it might not pay off but I'm just happy that it did for me. Hope you guys enjoyed this video I'll see you guys in the next one please take care, peace.


While you're coming up, I was just going to say that I thought they were, it was nice to have the detail and the organization of the warrants, I thought that was really helpful. And yes, ma'am. Thank you, Becky Steinbruner, resident of Aptos Hills. I would agree with that comment. They're much easier to read and to really see what is going on. And to that end, I was curious to see on page 23 that there was a trip to Washington, D.C., on May 24th by Ms. Strom, Mr. Duncan, Ms. Schumacher, Director Daniels, and Chairman LeHue. And I don't recall hearing that trip approved in your proceedings, and further in the packet in another item on page 102, it says there is another trip to come to D.C. for you at the end of this month. So I would like some public discussion about the purpose and nature of these trips and the need for them. I know you have paid a great amount of money to Capital Edge to do the lobbying for you in Washington, D.C. But I want to know why the five of you went to Washington, D.C. on May 24th, and there was no public approval or discussion of it. Also really want to thank you for putting in the warrants on page 35, the surface water transfer purchase price that's dated May 10th for $14,904. And I'd like to know the volume of water that that paid for. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Anyone else? All right, any other comments on warrants? Is that... We can approve them. Well, I'll move approval of the warrants. All second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? And I'll just... For the sake of the public, since that was brought up, there has not been a trip on May 24th, that's just when a bill was paid. So those are flights. And the purpose of the trip is to do our best to get funding for a project instead of having our ratepayers bear the entire cost. So we've been advised by the experts that it is most effective if we go. None of us really would like to go, but we're trying to help our customers. And that's all. The other item that was pulled from the consent agenda was 3.9. Thank you. And thank you for allowing me to pull these items for better discussion and for answering my questions. 3.9 is approve the updated district policy allowing customer options of alternate metering systems. That is, as I read it, your district would charge people $10 a month if they do not want to have a smart meter installed. I want to know that that is a conforming policy with this county of Santa Cruz and with the state of California. Thank you. Okay. Anyone else? You've been provided information many times on wireless microwave meters and the biological harm. But you really should have, I think, is an informed consent form from every single person who is getting these meters on their homes. That this is known to cause harm, DNA strand breakage, calcium leaching from the cells, cancer risk that people who are living by cell towers and smart meters experience fatigue and had a increased diabetes incidence, and the list goes on. These are not safe in any respect, and this is just proliferating. I want to leave you also a copy of a rather new documentary called 5G Apocalypse, the extinction event, and it has a number of scientists whose literature I've given you, and so I will provide that. I think it is not only irresponsible, but bordering on the criminal. When you have been informed that something is harmful and been provided with the data, when you impose this on the public without their consent, and it's an experiment that is in violation of the Nuremberg Principles that says that people have to be informed of all the consequences of these kind of exposures and give their consent that has not taken place, there have also been many problems with fires, overcharging, it's just a depth technology from beginning to end, and I don't think any of your customers have been informed or given consent to this, and I think it should be stopped. We did have our water measured before without this, and it also has a big carbon footprint in the manufacture and distribution and the e-ways with all of this, so an opt-out is like, and I did this with the PG and e-meters, it's an extortion fee to be paid, not to be harmed. Thank you very much. Extortion fee. I approve. I would like to make a motion to approve 3-9. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. I'd like to just comment. Marilyn, I don't think we agree on the facts, and I'm insulted that you think that I would vote for and go in a direction, and I don't want to start a conversation where it's good. He's just making, you're done talking up here. That would harm people, so I just want to put that on record that I do not agree with the facts that you've presented. We had a thorough review of the scientific literature at the time we made the decision, and also this change actually lessens the transmission anyway. About two orders of magnitude. So significantly. Right. Okay, so now it is time. By the way, on the consent calendar, I want to just mention that we did vote for Director Christensen to be part of the LAFCO as an alternate. We did. Okay. All right. So oral and written communications, anyone from the board? I just wanted to draw our attention to, I just popped up on one of our emails that we all get, but the Water Education Foundation has, in their western, they did a review of the effect of saving water on the whole water system, the sewage and water system. It might be worth looking into because it wasn't to cast blame or to say something was bad, saving water is bad, or it could become bad. It's an attempt to look at all the repercussions of policy change, which now Californians are facing with the probability of another extended drought at some point in our future that, you know, there's pressure to continually save more and more water, and that might have a, it's not just an anecdotal evidence, it's more of a, there's more concrete evidence that it causes problems in sewage treatment systems throughout the state. That's all. There's a limit. Just a review. It might be worth getting as a reference at some point. Okay. And I was just going to mention just coming back from Seattle late last night, I just noticed at the airport that all of the toilets were being flushed with rainwater, which I thought, you know, it's nice to not use perfectly good drinking water for flushing toilets. All right, so nothing else? Anyone in the public who wishes to speak on an item, not on tonight's agenda? Thank you. Becky Steinbrunner. I know there's a bit of change in your agenda. You're now combining oral and written communications altogether here, and I note on page 71 of your packet, it talks about written communications. And again, I want to point out to you that if the public correspondence in order to get into your board packet has to be submitted by 4 o'clock Wednesday prior to your meeting, and yet your agenda does not come out publicly until Friday, how can people realistically send you communication regarding things that are on the agenda and have them included in your packet? You can. So I'd like to ask you to change that policy to conform when people can get information to you and have it included in the agenda packet for the Tuesday following. I see that it always says the communication will be available on the district's website at the earliest opportunity. Well I looked just before I came here, and the three pieces of information that you have on the back table, and thank you for supplying those.  To that end, I want to follow up with a piece of communication here that I see is from Craig Wilson. You have used his persona, his influence in the community as the public safety officer for the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department to really come out in support of your Pure Water Soquel project, and I protest that. He is not an expert in water. He is a very great guy. I like him a lot, but I feel like he's being used, and I don't think it's fair. I see in his communication to the Santa Cruz City Council these three letters are all to the Santa Cruz City Council, begging them to approve the agreement that you put through with them, hopefully hoping to get on June 25th at their last council meeting. He says Pure Water Soquel will meet all safety and quality standards. How can he say that? He's not an expert. This project will do the least harm to our local environment by discharging less water into the sanctuary. It's not going to reduce the contamination. It will concentrate it. Be more energy efficient over the other options. How can he say that when water transfers would take virtually little energy and the reverse osmosis energy demand is very high? Thank you very much. Thank you. I just want to say I protest that you're trying to push through the agreement with the City Council.  Thank you. Thank you. All righty. Anyone else? I'm a specific issue. Are we on public comments now? It's not on the agenda? Yep. We are. Okay. I just wanted to be sure of that. We all know that firefighters are considered the strongest of the strong and the least likely to complain. In 2004, there was a test done on firefighters comparing those who lived, were sleeping in firehouses with antennas on the roof compared to those not. What happened was that the results of this study prompted the International Association of Firefighters Canada and the U.S. to call for a moratorium on putting these radiation emitting antennas on firehouses. The symptoms were what a lot of people complain of, microwave sickness.  Foster was one of the ones who arranged this study. We all know if it's doing that to the firefighters, we're all in trouble. This is a letter she wrote to Governor Brown two years ago opposing Senate Bill 649 and talking about people have a right to health and to decide what is happening to them. With the Senate Bill, and this is in process now with other bills, installing 5G in the public right of way, everywhere, every few houses, outside people's bedroom windows with this additional pulsed radiation, and this is an intensification of the destruction that's been taking place since the Telecom Act was passed in 1996. You feel insulted? I feel insulted that our rights are being taken away and that we are being forced into more and more radiation and that people believe the propaganda of these, the Telecom industry, selling these products. We were assured years ago by Dr. Smoking Cigarettes, it was fine. You'd feel tense, coughing, go home and smoke a cigarette and it will relax you and saying this is my favorite cigarette. So here's from the CISRB officer and one more, I'll just say the title, will the Telecom industry be the final straw in our planet's ecosystems? So let us move on to the next item, which is the management update. I don't have anything to add for a conservation customer service field. Do you have any questions? I know that we're just starting with the AMI upgrade. When again, I could not remember when you said customers would be able to have access to the information on a more real-time basis. We're thinking probably towards early fall that we'll be able to offer up the portal access to the people that have been upgraded, that have had their registers replaced and where we have the infrastructure in for that area. Okay. And then over the course of the year-long project, as more and more services and infrastructure added, we'll be making that available to those customers. And then we'll be evaluating kind of changes in their water use. We'll be looking, staff will be looking on a daily basis at the leak reports even before customers have access to the portal and we'll be acting on that. Thank you. Anyone else on? No? Okay. Moving right into engineering. I just had four bullets and I can answer any questions on them if you have any. I do. Okay, go ahead. It worried me that we already had to have a tank coding evaluated and, you know, on the Cornwell tank, you said it found some abnormalities. Does that mean it might not last as long as it's supposed to? Because aren't those supposed to last like 20 years or? Yeah, generally it was really looking really good. It wasn't until we actually got into the office and looked and we saw a few small bubbles, pimples, I would call them, in a small area, isolated area. We didn't see that anywhere else, but we're going to drain the tank. It's normal that we inspect it within the two-year period of the warranty, so it is covered and, you know, we did have an inspector there throughout the whole course of the recoding. Don't think that the whole tank is going to delaminate or anything. I think it's a small enough blemish that we do want to drain the tank and look at it and they will make repairs and do it as a perfect coating would have. Okay. And the outside looked great and the inside looked generally really good other than these small blemishes. Okay. And I also just wanted to thank you all for working with the C-Cliff Park residents to help them find a solution. Thank you. Thank you. I too don't have anything else to add unless you have any questions. Maintenance. Everybody happy? Well, that's good. Thank you. Special projects. There she is. Hi, yes. I don't have anything else to say except I did just want to point out since it was brought up earlier. The public outreach and committee has been working on creating kind of some more awareness to the community water plan and building off of the community water plan being formed by our community members. Also just, you know, a lot of people have provided us a lot of information or questions and answers. And so we've actually created kind of this, it's not on my screen. Oh, is it on my screen? So I did just want to clarify that this one is not in response to pure water. So Cal, Mr. Wilson had provided us, you know, kind of his opinion and his feelings related to the efforts that the district is doing to combat sea water intrusion. So the quote that he has here is really the problem of saltwater intrusion and ongoing overdraft must be addressed. I am pleased the water district is responding to the serious issue before it's a full scale crisis. Again, just to kind of reiterate, that is something that our community has focused on, the awareness that we have an inadequate water supply. We did a phone survey, 79 percent of our customers said that that is something that they recognize and that over 65 percent of the people on that survey said that they are very concerned about the severe shortage. So recognizing that, you know, we are quote unquote in this together, that's the campaign and we will be doing other advertisements and other pieces on our website just to raise awareness. And I think actually you've done a great job in just getting the word out and letting people express and, you know, go ahead and speak publicly about their views. So I appreciate it. Anyone else for? Hey, we could HR. I don't have anything to add, but I can answer questions. Are you going to do finance? I'm sorry, I forgot finance. But Leslie's not here. So I guess I forgot and you were waiting. So we'll go back. OK, any questions I can answer? Congratulations on being one of the barriers. Top 10. Yeah, it's not top 10, but it's one of the top workplaces. Talk about that a little bit. Thank you. Yeah, that says a lot. And Ron, did something about finance you want to add? Yeah, I'll just point out again in that vein of being customer advocates, finance after receiving some feedback, and this is highlighted in the report, they extended by an extra week, so 25 percent, the collection time on bills, get people an extra week going from three weeks to four weeks and just thought that was the right thing to do. It's an administrative act, so we just took care of it. Great. Any finance questions? Then then we'll go to Ron for General Manager. So, you know, I thought this was we'll go to the graph first. It kind of shows you how recycled water has been increasing over time. So since you can see right around early 80s, it just kind of took off and how it's being used. And then if we go back up to the to the quote, and this is from the Public Policy Institute of California, so they try to do unbiased reviews. But what caught my eye here was I here was that they, you know, they're talking about the growing opportunity for water recyclers, especially with the new state laws. And then the bottom line, literally the bottom line, this will require close coordination between water suppliers and wastewater agencies. And I just think, you know, the city and us have been doing a good job and really a shout out to them for their efforts in collaborating with us and trying to take the word wastewater out of the lexicon and make it resource water because we all know that it's a valuable resource. Okay. And anything else on your report? Ron. Nope, that's it. Can I add one thing? Sure. Just on the graphic on page 77, you know, where it has the actual parts per million, I just thought maybe somewhere there we should put in that seawater is 35,000 so that people would know that at La Selva Beach, it's basically half of what seawater comes from. And often we have 250 as the secondary MCL. So we'll. Well, but even just so people can compare with seawater. Yeah, yeah, both. Okay. That was all I had. Thank you. Also on general manager. Okay. And then let's see that does, I think, include the management update. So is there anyone from the public who wishes to speak on the management update? Thank you. Becky Steinbruner, resident of Aptos. I'd like to point out to you an error on page 73 into the special projects where it talks about the representatives of the city of Santa Cruz. The ad hoc committee on the city water commission is Commissioner Baskin, Wilschersen and Doug Engfer. Mr. Baskin is listed twice. But Doug Engfer is also part of that. And it was actually chiefly Commissioner Baskin's concern that that document looked like it hadn't been looked at by an attorney. So I am glad that they're looking at it more carefully. I am, I am disappointed that they bowed to the pressure of the presenters that night that did not really say the reason for the rush is that all grant money to be reimbursed must be spent by February 29th, 2020, which is what I learned in one of the ex parte documents and declarations by your general manager, Mr. Duncan. They didn't know that. They just were pushed to approve it and get it on the commission and city councils June 25th thing. So the agreement, whatever they come up with, will not have been vetted by the full water commission. And I think that's a travesty. Um, regarding the recycled water and the graphic, I want to know where is the purple pipe in your district in going over the documents. Lately I've seen that originally recycled water had tied to it irrigation. And I'm not seeing any irrigation. Where's the purple pipe because there's plenty of use for that at Cabrillo College, athletic fields, the golf courses, the 10 to 14 parks that are in your district. There's a tremendous opportunity for using this water for irrigation that would also decrease pumping by seascape wells and by Cabrillo Colleges, three very large wells. So I want to see purple pipe in your district. Thank you. Thank you. So anything else on specifically the management update? And since you're discussing recycled water, it's very problematic. And I listened to the radio program where Ron Duncan and two of you were on the radio and somebody called in and said, what about the removal in this recycled water of pharmaceuticals and pesticides? And it was just glossed over all well like they're using recycled water here and there. It must be OK. And the language you use, let's not say wastewater. Let's say, what did you say, resource, or instead of, you know, there's a sewage treated water or poop water effluent. The language is used to convince people that there's something is good that really is very problematic. And I think this whole plan of an awesome begs the question, why are there so many poisons in our water? Why are these corporations allowed to pollute the earth and our bodies and all creatures on this planet? And then we're supposed to try to clean it up. I think recycled water is really dangerous. If it's popular, it doesn't necessarily mean something is good. Where is the proof of safety? Where is the proof of no harm in using recycled water or sewage treated water? Where is the proof? I don't see any. Thank you. So, since I was on the radio show and answered that question, I will say that I actually specifically said that wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals. So, whatever goes into rivers, whatever comes out of septic tanks into rivers and then gets treated at normal water treatment plants, they're not designed to remove those. However, when you go to recycled water and go through microfiltration, that removes some of them. But by the time you go through reverse osmosis and advanced oxidation and disinfection, they're removed and safe to drink, essentially, even though it's going to go through another step. So, I just wanted to clarify that for the public. Since you brought it up. And the board took a trip to Orange County Water District that's been doing this for decades and talked specifically with a vice president there who had been in charge of labs, I think he might still be. And he explained to us that the process gets rid of molecules that are above a certain size. And those molecules that it does get rid of are the pharmaceuticals that are above that threshold.  And they had no reason whatsoever to come to that conclusion other than the scientific evidence. And once again, I mean, none of us would be doing this if we thought it was unsafe. Yeah. Can I just follow up on a comment that was made about the water commissioners? I appreciate the, we did list David Baskin twice. So thank you very much for that notification. Doug Infer was on that. Just to be clear, in case it wasn't, it did go to the Public Works Commission of Santa Cruz first. And it got a 5-0 vote, the project contract to move forward. Then subsequent to that, a couple of weeks later, it came to the Water Commission with a 5-0 vote in favor of it based on conceptual purposes. They liked the idea. They liked everything about it and moved the contract forward. They did have some issues with some of the language. So they designated three committee members, Doug Infer, Linda, Will Susan, and David Baskin, to form a focus group with the water director and some others. To refine the language and see if it was ready to go to the city council. And what I really want to, and so that was a 5-0 vote also there. But just the effort that those three commissioners put in over the last two weeks, my hat is off to them. And it was really public service. I mean, there was a lot of effort put in there to make sure it was absolutely where they wanted to be so they could make a recommendation to the city council. And so, well, to the whole Santa Cruz staff and those three commissioners in particular. Okay. Next item is district council. There's really nothing to report. The legislation isn't moving too much. They're working on the budget. And the cases have just kind of stalled. So I'm waiting. Okay. We have a couple of closed session items we'll talk about later. Okay. And then item 6.2 is a scopes of work for six different entities. Yes, typically after the fiscal year budget is approved by the board, we do reevaluate existing contracts that need to be furthered for the following year. In terms of the pure water Soquel project, I have brought forth six proposed scopes of works, including budget for next fiscal year. And if you have any questions, I can answer them just in summary for the amount of effort for the pure water Soquel project for this next fiscal year. This represents, let me see, I think I wrote this down, 5%. Questions from, yes, Bruce. And reading through these, most of them seemed okay, but the one that kind of surprised me was the outreach one. $150,000 seems like a hell of a lot of outreach for something that we've kind of already got approved. So I just wondered, I realize that everything is on a, you know, need-to-do basis, and we may not do much of it, but I was still surprised. Talk about the data instincts. Yes, data instincts was when I have several notes. Number four. Page 104. Yeah, I'll start at high level on that and then Melanie can jump in. And if you, you know, since it was mentioned, go into some of these various sites that do water purification. I think you might have been to five total. But one of the leaders is Orange County. And one of the things that they said, Ron Wildermuth, who's now since retired, but he was kind of the guru of this, if you remember, he said, one of their secrets to assess is the education component. And not education just before or when you get approved and not when you just even produce water but continually doing it after that. We may be in a little better position than they were just because people have become much more accepting of this and educated about it. So that's one thing. So I do think it behooves us and the community to keep educating and informing. But they also help us formulate plans and that sort of thing too. So it's not just the traditional outreach that you think of. Let me just add just, since before you answer. So I thought, you know, staff seems like they do most of the work from what I see on the public outreach. And so I just wanted to kind of get a feel from you about how much data instincts is actually doing because I don't really know. And then under on page 108, they mentioned helping promote the educational mobile trailer and tracking effective. So I think that's the effectiveness of this effort and also the tracking the effectiveness of the onsite learning center. So I hadn't heard about how they're tracking the effectiveness. Sure. Yes. In terms of data instincts over the years where they have helped us, this is the highest contract that we've had this thus far. They typically are below 100,000, sometimes even half of what we asked for this year. When we asked him to propose for this year, I did ask for an up to amount not to exceed and based on if we needed them or not. We have been increasing education and outreach for the project as well as district overall and in terms of the community water plan and going forward with pure water soquel and some of the efforts that will be developing, including potentially expansion of some of the outreach, youth outreach and other programs. Data instincts sometimes will help us strategize and kind of create a work plan for us to do that. Vaidehi's time is very much focused on youth outreach. We've talked about whether or not we were going to cut back this year. We have not yet cut back on anything related to really the youth outreach or her participation in the water conservation coalition. That is another area that while it's regional, it does fall a lot on Soco Creek Water District to kind of shepherd that through. For the metrics and data that was collected for the trailer and for the learning center, we did solicit some assistance from data instincts where we were capturing. We do have a survey that comes for people that come in and come out and we are collecting that data and it goes into the annual reports. It's something that we're tracking and we had them do that instead of do that in-house. And what role does data instinct have in that tracking? Data instincts create, last year data instincts created the questions before and after and then they're the ones that are telling it and they're going to prepare like a report. Yeah, as much as a traditional outreach, I mean this is their forte recycled purified water. They're really advisors to us. We have a couple and this is one team that we lean on for high level advice. I just wanted kind of to find out how much they're helping. I mean, if it's an up to amount, I'm personally okay with it. I'd like a report back on whether we go up to the up to as it's going along. And I'd like to see, well, your point Ron about there's never enough outreach, especially on a project where there's so much misunderstanding like recycled water purification. And I'd like to see without putting undue work on the staff, I'd like to see students and interns be involved with the outreach. I think that's cost efficient. And I leave it to staff to determine when and where to use that strategy. But the question I have is, and I could be an outlier here. One of the issues I have with data instincts is that to me, it's reaching out to a different demographic in that their graphics are beautiful, expensive color, et cetera. Morene County, and I just wonder whether the outreach committee has a similar opinion that I do of that, keeping it basic and we'll get the points point across better than making it too, let's see. Well, we just had an outreach committee this past week ago and we've reviewed all of the things that are out there and the outreach team has been working on. And honestly, I don't know how much that contract will ultimately be worth, how much they'll be asked to do, but it really seems as if it would be helpful to have someone who's sort of out of the, not directly trying to be boots on the ground, but adding, acting as a true consultant in this area and how best ways to present things. So otherwise, this task for this small team can quickly get overwhelming. And if you're talking about students and interns, I agree with that in principle, but that is a whole another level of more work. For the staff, I realize it, yeah. And they're pretty maxed out. But they just did the Waterwise Academy, which is not students and interns, but it's training people to then understand the system and then be advocates. That's exactly what you're talking about. It's utilizing community members to get the word out. Well, I'm thinking back to the iPad, questions that were asked at Farmers Market and whatnot. And I don't know, I know there were some issues with some of the questions that were asked and how it's done, but something like that I heard, the feedback I heard was that it was well received within the community. So I don't know if that's something that's available. And the cost certainly would be fairly low on that. Again, I'll leave it to the staff to determine, you know, I'm not in touch with the workload and whether this creates a new amount of work. Okay, we'll incorporate some of that. Okay, anyone else? Okay, any public comment on this item? Thank you, Becky Steinbruner. This is an astonishing amount of money. $881,194 total just for one year, just for this project that's under legal battle and for which there's a lot of public resistance. I think you're taking a big risk here. I have questions regarding some of the things I read in the contract proposal. Ms. Gutierrez is going to help you with the WIFIA loan applications.  I asked to know more about it and was only told it was a federal loan program, but I still have not seen a dollar amount that the district is planning to ask for in this low-cost federal loan. And that needs to be made public. I also am surprised to see yet another legal firm being brought on, Hansen and Bridgette in San Francisco. And for the agreement with the city of Santa Cruz alone, it's $78,000. That raised my eyebrows, having been at the Santa Cruz City Water Commission and heard attorney David Baskin said, it looks like no attorney has ever looked at this agreement. And Mr. Duncan said, well, actually there have been three. So I really think you need to take a close look at this expenditure with this law firm and yet another law firm. The information in the contract with ESA to me was very enlightening on page 95. It talks about how the conveyance construction would begin June 2020 and would be the only project component whose construction could occur within fiscal year 2019-2020. In the absence of detailed construction approach and schedule information, which follows what the lack of information in your EIR, we assume conveyance facility installation will involve simultaneous construction in two separate pipeline segments or headings beginning in late June of 2020. And it talks about how it is further assumed that construction of each pipeline segment will progress at a rate of 200 feet a day, five days a week, or roughly 4,000 feet every 30 days, 200 feet a day, is that realistic? Because you're gonna be, if this goes through, you would be going through some very urban areas, traffic delays, I think you're in for a nightmare. And I know you signed a statement of overriding considerations to just scoot around that, but this is huge, not to mention the 18 stream crossings that this project would do. And it talks about the Pond Turtle relocation and 100 feet vegetation clearance and clearance for staging areas, yet the staging areas were never identified in the EIR. All right, thank you very much. You talk about educational outreach and I would actually like to see a forum with Becky Steinbruner on educational outreach. I heard two of you on the radio lauding this pure water plan, but we aren't hearing the real problems, some of which you just heard and narrated here with this whole project. And I've mentioned this before, this book keeps coming to mind and you're hearing pure water, pure water all the time, all the time. And I'm thinking this is pure poop water, they just keep saying pure water, but this is not really pure water. The book, Toxic Sludge is Good for You by John Stopper and Sheldon Rampton.  And there are quotes in there of the public relations industry that go, you know, work arm in arm with the corporations. And one of these firms says, the role of our communication is to manage perceptions which motivates behavior to create business results. I think we're talking about big business results here and manage perception, you know, oh, we've got to do this, this is the behavior we've got to do, we've got to give money to all these corporations. And then people, when they hear oft-repeated lies and are misinformation, it's like they're in a frame and to try to get something in to this perception or misperception, the truth bounces off. I'm for truth telling and there's big problems here. And I would like to see this project halted. I think it's an answer is in the future here if you proceed and once you put those poisons in the water and I've said it before, it sounds like fracking to me, injecting this horrible stuff into the groundwater, the aquifers that have been there for eons of time but to deliberately put what you're putting in there that sounds to me like a chemical soup. It's just a disaster on the horizon and you're so self-assured that this will work, this will be the way. Very dangerous. Thank you and I just would like to just say that we just disagree and we're basing ours on. I'm afraid I feel that you're quite misinformed and I would recommend that you read the study that was pretty detailed about the safety of the water that we had done. But that conducts that action. I'd like just to make one comment. This water needs to have minerals added back into it because it is so, the minerals were taken out by the process, it's a misconception thinking that this water is toxic sludge. Okay, any board members wish to make a motion? I'll make six motions, basically. I'll second the six motions. Would you be willing to add that we have an update on the outreach? Yes. Maybe every what, half year? Half year, yeah. Half year. An update on the expenditures for data and states. I'm in my motion to exclude that. Okay. And I'll amend my second. Okay, we're all amended. All in favor? Yes. I. I. Opposed? Okay, that carries. And then we have. I'd just like to make a statement that some of the information that Ms. Steinbruner said regarding the statement of a writing consideration stuff was incorrect so I just want to make that statement. Right, and I'll, I'll, you know, if they have questions about the city's response to her characterization of the water commission meeting, I suggest they talk with the director of the Santa Cruz Water Department, Rosemary Menard. Six three? Six three, a happy one. A happy one. Let's end on a happy note. How's that? That's great. So I shared with the board that the district was recently made aware that we are being recognized as a top workplace by the Bay Area, excuse me, the Bay Area news group. And we're, we will be having the, the publication will be released on this Sunday, the 23rd. And it's a standalone publication that the Bay Area news group provides to all of its newspapers as an insert. And I provided a copy link in the packet. So hopefully you've had an opportunity to take a look at what that publication looks like. The 2018 version was included. So you have a view of what we can expect to see with some familiar faces, hopefully, at Soquel Creek Water District, included in that, in that recognition. We will be going to Santa Clara actually on Thursday to receive that recognition. And we may receive at that time kind of our ranking as the memo indicates, this ranking was actually kind of a side note to what we felt was a really important survey that we put out to our employees and the results of that, the results of the survey and the data that came from that survey actually was used in comparison with many other industries and we received that ranking. So we're very proud of our employees and hope to keep doing good things. And thank you for all your input and Ron, you too. Yeah, just a shout out to Tracy for number one, doing the getting the survey done and really this wasn't even on our radar, the top workplace being recognized for that. But it does go to the core, I think as a organization we work a lot on. I know Tracy and I spent a lot of time just trying to get that very bottom cultural piece right and it's not easy, it's a constant, you can never stop. And it's one of those things you think you're there and then you got more work to do, but if nothing else, it is front and center for us because it's the platform from which we can really excel as an organization. If we don't get that right, it's hard to really get much above that. So we continue to strive and thank you for your efforts on that Tracy. And all the managers too. It's a 46 and a half person effort plus a board plus a legal counsel and then- 45.8. 45.8, whatever, effort. So thanks to the whole organization. Thank you and any comments from the board? It's great. Any public comment on that item? Okay, well then we will go to closed session. Common and closed session. Pardon? Closed session. Yeah. Thank you. Becky Steinbruner. I am the petitioner in Case 19, CV 00181. And I just want to let you know that I've been working very hard, I don't know what you're gonna hear from Mr. Basso. Mr. Basso, I really want to thank you for hosting that telephone conference in your office last week that helped a lot and we're still working hard at trying to come to resolution on the administrative record. I have, in doing some research, I have learned more than what I knew at the initial case. My first discussion about this case with Michelle Ullat from Best Best and Krieger so I have written some information about that. But our first case management conference is coming up Thursday. The judge has been disqualified. Judge Burdick will no longer be hearing our case and it will now be heard by Judge John Gallagher. And I want to assure you that I'm doing this because I care about the public. I care about the environment and I'm not convinced by what I see. I'm not convinced that the environmental review on this project was thorough and I'm not convinced that the people of Lake Oak were given a fair shake in being able to say at the appropriate times when it could make a difference what was coming to their neighborhood. So I'm doing this and I'm spending a lot of my time and I'm not getting paid big bucks. I'm not getting paid anything. But I'm doing this because I care, not because I'm trying to be an obstructionist, not because I'm trying to keep secrets or anything like that or hold the record hostage as I've been accused of multiple times. I'm working very hard but I'm not an attorney and I'm not familiar with litigation process so I'm having to work very hard. I'm spending hours every day in the County Law Library to learn and I'm doing my best because I care about the people, the community, the environment and the long-term impacts that a project like this could have. And what I want to ask is why isn't the district looking at using this water for irrigation instead of injecting it into the groundwater supply that is the potable water supply for not only people in your district but others and those others have no say. That's what's really bothering me a lot. Thank you. We will go to closed session now. Thank you. You have one more. Oh, this is on the closed session, Madam. I want to say it's support everything Becky Steinburner said. She's someone who I've known over the years who is working to defend our rights and have a healthy environment. She researches thoroughly and I think she's right on the mark and what she has researched here. She's not paid. We need a lot more people who are looking carefully at government policies and propose policies and evaluating them and digging deep and revealing the truth. What I see is the truth that's going on and like being whistleblowers, these are people who should be listened to carefully so that we can make wise decisions. That's my comment so I support Becky Steinburner on this. Thank you. I'll just say that we're all here because we want to do the best thing for the district and I'm glad that's your motivation. We just try to base on the best science available and I unfortunately think some of yours is based on misinformation but that we can agree to disagree. And we will turn to a closed session.
