To our delight, STAR now has two full-time EMTs for weekend coverage, thanks to the donations from Measure Z and the Ruth Lake Community Services District. This is the second year that Measure Z of Humboldt County has contributed this vitals funds to STAR. Without these funds, STAR would rely solely on the volunteers of this community.
