As California prepares to eliminate disposable nicotine vapes, the topic goes beyond just people’s health. The state’s new law surrounding vapes raises questions centering on addiction, sustainability and safety.

According to Assembly Bill No. 762 (AB 762) posted on California Legislative Information, “This bill would prohibit, beginning January 1, 2027, a person from importing or manufacturing for sale in this state a new or refurbished disposable, battery-embedded vapor inhalation device, and, beginning January 1, 2028, prohibits a person from selling, distributing, or offering for sale a new or refurbished disposable, battery-embedded vapor inhalation device in this state.”

The ban does not apply to marijuana vapes, while both devices use the same lithium-ion battery to function.

A California Assembly committee analysis of AB 762 states that lithium-ion batteries in vapes are “highly flammable, cannot be removed and post costly safety issues at every point of the waste stream. These devices are thrown in the trash, and sent to material recovery facilities where they can ignite, posing safety risks to workers.”

According to the Department of Cannabis Control’s Monthly Sales Report, vape sales in California have exceeded flower sales in 2025 and are projected to surpass them again in 2026. Although nicotine vape sales in California do not provide similar statistics, the California Tobacco Facts and Figures from the California Department of Public Health state that vaping has increased since 2020, with 1.5 million Californians reporting current vape use.

Cassidy Faye, a wildlife conservation and management senior, didn’t know about the ban but thinks it’s ethical for California to ban nicotine vapes without weed vapes for addictive reasons.

“I think that it’s fair if they only ban nicotine vapes because it’s more addictive chemically,” Faye said. “With weed you don’t really; like some people sit around and hit the dab pen all day but it’s not as common I feel like and that would get you high as f[uck].”

Faye also considers previous concerns with nicotine vapes, and recalls their original purpose when initially released to help smokers quit.

“I feel like the main issue with it was that they had these really, like what’s this, Juicy Peach Ice, like that’s a child. That’s like—that’s—it’s like a lollipop, it tastes like a lollipop. And so a big issue is that kids were getting into it because it tasted good and it was cool or whatever,” Faye said. “And I think that vapes do have a purpose, because some people who are super addicted to cigarettes, they switch to vapes and that actually does help them cut down. So, I feel like it should still be an option.”

As California moves toward phasing out disposable nicotine vapes, the challenge goes beyond passing a new law. The ban’s long-term impact remains uncertain, but the changes in safety risks of disposable vaping devices will become clear in the following years.

As the Lumberjack Weekend kickoff event began in the SAC Quad at Cal Poly Humboldt on Oct. 8, a group of concerned students simultaneously gathered to stand in solidarity with the National Day of Action Against Sexual Violence.

CPH’s response to a recently reported sexual assault on Aug. 29 at Hinarr Hu Moulik (HHM) East dorms brought outrage after numerous news outlets across the state reported on the arrest of Delos Moore.

This all comes amidst growing national scrutiny surrounding universities’ responses to sexual violence. With universities’ current handling of allegations, people are calling for institutional accountability. The Cornell Seven case is but one of many high-profile instances where men alleged to have committed sexual violence were allowed to continue their education with the privilege of privacy.

Katerina Gaines, wildlife ecology student and organizer of the gathering, called on university administration to do more in addressing the recent public campus safety concern.

“We’re concerned because the perpetrator of sexual assault at the HHM dorms is now back on campus, there’s been no communication from the school regarding this, no clear outline on how they’re keeping students safe,” Gaines said. “We’re here because we deserve a safe campus. And we want perpetrators to be expelled from the school.”

Chelsey Castiglione with Student Health and Wellbeing Services was in attendance to offer support and resources.

“We want to support our students who are protesting,” Castiglione said. “And we want them to know this is the avenue where they can have a voice.”

Castiglione was providing information about related existing programs at CPH, including the Act to End Sexualized Violence course and Check It.

“Act to End Sexualized Violence is a class that myself and Dr. Schnurer do every semester,” Castiglione said. “It is all about advocacy and action surrounding sexual assault prevention.”

Castiglione emphasized the power that student advocacy and activism has had on the campus in the past.

“That class came out of a student protest back in the day, it came out of students saying, why don’t we have a class on this?” Castiglione said. “Our Check It program also came out of student advocacy saying, what is going on with this? We need to have a program on campus, and their advocacy is what pushed it stateside.”

While these resources provide students with support and community, they aren’t answering the questions that students are asking. Confidentiality requirements limit what university officials can disclose about individual cases, but students feel this is a matter of safety.

“We just have to trust what they say,” Sid Spahn, a biochemistry student said.

“That makes me feel uncomfortable because the only information I have about Delos Moore is that he sexually assaulted somebody and falsely imprisoned them,” Spahn said. “The fact that the administration, all they have to say, is trust us, we dealt with it. I don’t trust them and I think that they aren’t doing anything to actually protect people on campus.”

Title IX has no public registry, unlike criminal sex offenders who are mandated to report to a central public database. Students who have been disciplined under a school’s Title IX process are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Nicki Viso, deputy Title IX coordinator, was also in attendance Oct. 8th. Stuck between respecting students’ privacy and students’ desire for information, Visoi was unable to provide students with any new information.

“I don’t have a satisfactory answer. We can point you towards publicly available information,” Visoi said. “Outside of those sources, as far as what is contained in an arrest report, what’s contained in the Title IX report, that’s information that we’re not really able to share as our office or as a campus.”

This is not a Humboldt issue alone; this is just yet another case of people feeling that their university is systematically protecting perpetrators of sexual violence. To address students’ concerns, a town hall meeting will be held in Siemens Hall on Oct. 14.

On Oct. 7, roughly 60 irate Cal Poly Humboldt students gathered on the steps of Art B to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Under the watchful eye of the Free Speech Response Team, student activists passed flyers and scrawled calls for peace on cardboard until the speakers passed around the megaphone and kicked off the speeches.

“As you heard before, today marks three years of the most blatant, obvious genocide that we have seen in the 21st century,” Dakota Hirschensohn, Humboldt Youth Democratic Socialists of America president said. “Resistance against Israel, inside and outside of Palestine, is growing. It is our job as Americans to support them in their struggle.”

The conversation quickly shifted to focus on the history of Palestinian resistance. The next speaker, student activist Jarrett Whitlow, placed the devastation of Gaza in the perspective of an 80-year settler colonial campaign waged by Israel.

“In 1948, the first war for the preservation of Palestinian independence began,” Whitlow said. “Laid by the advances of nationalist, Israeli militias and the Zionists behind them that planned from the beginning to conquer all of Palestine for themselves.”

An event organizer gave the safety talk as the crowd spilled from the Art Quad into the streets of Arcata. Organizers pointed out designated police and media representatives, made sure people knew who to get water from and, most importantly, that they wouldn’t let anyone fall behind. They ensured the crowd wasn’t loose, but a dense brigade marching through campus and into the city, meeting fellow protesters and speakers in the Arcata Plaza.

“We will be visible and we will be loud,” Sally, an event organizer who requested their last name be omitted for safety reasons, said. “We have safety in numbers.”

Ear-piercing chants echoed through Arcata, underscored by the ever-reliable car horn.

“You hear honking and you don’t know if it’s in support or against us,” a marcher turned to his friend and said. “So we just assume it’s pro.”

Hirschensohn discussed the goals for that day’s action, hoping that they can help kick off change that goes beyond the Redwood Curtain.

“We don’t think — from Humboldt — we can end the genocide,” Hirschensohn said. “But if we put enough pressure on the CSU system, Cal State admin, we can push things in the right direction.”

A few strokes of a paintbrush can erase someone’s tag from a campus wall, but not without a financial toll. Last year, across Cal Poly Humboldt those cleanups totaled 360 hours of labor and $33,209 in costs.

Graffiti on campus, as well as cover-up jobs from Facilities Management (FM), can be seen in bathroom stalls, under bridges and on walls inside and outside buildings. From small doodles to larger pieces, the relationship between artists and FM has been a source of frustration for each other. 

FM received 245 work orders and requests related to graffiti removal in 2025 according to the department. Mike Fisher, associate vice president of FM said staff encounters graffiti on a nearly daily basis. Removing it can require pressure washing, sanding, repainting or replacing the affected surface.

When asked what was most commonly seen written around campus — whether it be political statements, people’s tags or gibberish. Fisher said, “It runs the gamut.” 

Graffiti has been an issue for FM, but some students enjoy the extra color seen around school. Caden Tablada, a junior accounting major, sees a difference between graffiti and vandalism — even when it’s on campus though he rarely sees it around. 

“Graffiti is definitely not vandalism. Vandalism is like actively trying to worsen something and not try to add any artistic value with your piece,” Tablada said. “Say if it’s on some blank wall, then that’s not vandalism. You know, that’s just adding a little bit more color to campus.”

Robby Bennett, a senior theater arts major, grew up in San Francisco seeing a lot of graffiti and understands how graffiti as an art can go both ways.

“I think all graffiti is vandalism,” Bennett said. “Obviously, some vandalism is crude and some is more artistic, but graffiti is definitely vandalism. Sometimes I see it and I think it’s a shame someone has to clean drawings of penises off the wall. Sometimes I see it and I think it’s nice art or a message.”

When asked whether or not artists consider this relationship between FM and graffiti, Bennett was skeptical. 

“Probably not or if they do they probably look at it with an us vs. them,” Bennett said. 

He also described why vandalism could be an outlet for a lot of students, explaining its recurring practice.

“I think a lot of people who do it just do it to break the conventions of society without being punished,” Bennett said. “Let out some steam.”

The relationship with artists and FM will continue to be an uphill battle on campus. According to Fisher, FM views graffiti as vandalism regardless of what is written or drawn. The department would rather direct their energy towards issues that could better campus rather than addressing the writing on walls and stalls.

“Our FM employees take a lot of pride in their work and pride in this University,” Fisher said in an email on Sept. 29. “Anytime vandalism occurs, it takes away from other positive things we could be doing.”

Angry protesters stood outside the Humboldt County Courthouse Oct. 3 following last week’s action, calling for Humboldt County officials to remove remaining animals from Miranda’s Rescue. Founder Shannon Miranda posted a statement on his website on Oct. 2, stating that the rescue was temporarily closed while it updates its operating permits. 

The conditional use permit and coastal development permit were suspended on Oct. 1 because the rescue failed to meet the terms of a compliance agreement with Planning and Building. A county letter from Planning and Building quoted by the Lost Coast Outpost said that Miranda failed to submit the grading permit required to deposit enough dirt to raise dog kennels at least a foot above flood elevations. The letter offered county assistance with relocating the remaining animals. 

Marianna Mullins, a protestor at the courthouse and an independent Sacramento animal rescuer, has been raising concerns since May 2013. She first went to social media to voice her concerns. She later hired a private investigator and they both interviewed witnesses in 2013 and 2014. They alleged that dogs were being shot and buried under the radar. She acknowledged that the investigation lacked physical evidence at the time.

“I told Shannon in 2013 that it didn’t matter how long it took, the truth would come to light,” Mullins said. “Now it’s here, but at what cost? How many lives were lost? How many people are devastated? And how broken is the community?”

Mullins continued documenting her concerns through a Facebook page established in Jan. 2014 called Truth Behind the Lies Miranda’s Rescue 2013. She said she received a cease-and-desist letter that year.

“I wasn’t believed,” Mullins said. “The community was convinced that I was vindictive and that I was a liar.”

Mullins said stories were written about her by the Lost Coast Outpost that said she was running a “smear campaign,” but 12 years later those stories have been corrected and the publication has apologized. More recent discoveries of mass dog graves appeared to support concerns she could not prove in 2013.

Hilary Mosher, a protester at the courthouse said she was advocating for the animals and families who couldn’t be there.

“We want Shannon Miranda stopped, we want him to lose his 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, because he’s in violation of his mission,” Mosher said. “This mission, according to the Attorney General’s Office of charitable organizations, is to have a no-kill shelter where animals are adopted, and he is doing almost the opposite of that.” 

A 501(c)(3) organization is a U.S. nonprofit organization that is recognized by the IRS to be federally tax-exempt and eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions. 

Rick Kircher, another protester at the courthouse, stated that in 2003 a conditional use permit was written for the shelter and contained eight requirements — five of which remained incomplete in 2026. For the last 23 years, the shelter had been operating in noncompliance according to the Eureka Times Standard. 

“The sheriff’s department is in charge of the cruelty complaints,” Kircher said. “So this has been an ongoing issue, and they’ve just been kicking the can down the road. Nobody’s addressing it.” 

 Mullins described reports of dogs found with visible bullet wounds and blood coming from their ears. Some graves were also left uncovered due to the state of decomposition the animals were in. This left her in shock.

“What really caught me when I read this, and I also heard it in the press release, is that they are in the final resting place. They’re not,” Mullins said.“This is not the resting place. This is a mass grave.”

Frustrated community members protested on Sept. 28 at the Humboldt County Courthouse to raise awareness about Miranda’s Rescue resuming operations after its permit suspension was lifted by the Humboldt County Planning and Building Department. 

Jenna Moore monitored trail cameras on Shannon Miranda’s – founder of Miranda’s Rescue – property prior to the investigation; she noticed that every five to 10 days giant holes alongside mounds of dirt were being tampered with. Moore was notified on her phone on April 26 with footage showing Miranda on the property.

“It was the video that you’ve probably seen — the one of him driving the tractor dumping the dogs — and because I had gone to the sheriff’s department before that and they didn’t do anything, we knew we had to go in,” Moore said. “So when I saw that video, obviously I lost my cookies, very emotional of course, and I called Jennifer, and I just said we’re going in tonight, we’re gonna dig, and we met right before dark and did what we needed to do.”

Jennifer Raymond is an animal rights activist and owner of the neighboring property to Miranda’s rescue. Moore touched on how her protest was less about rushing the investigation and more about her frustration with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office’s lack of communication.

“It angers the community that we are getting nothing,” Moore said. 

The rescue is again accepting animals and has resumed adoptions. As part of the agreement that allowed the permit to be reinstated, Miranda’s Rescue agreed to stop using the illegal expansion of the northern parcel on its property where animals were killed and remove the building from the premises. The rescue said it will also no longer operate a veterinary or euthanasia facility.

Samantha Smith, a senior political science major adopted a dog from Miranda’s Rescue named Ted in 2024 and reminds everyone what adoption means to her after hearing about the dead dogs at the rescue.

“Ted, for us, after hearing all these stories, he’s not just a rescue, but he was saved too,” Smith said. “And I think that that’s really important to keep in mind that when you’re adopting an animal, you could be saving them from potentially horrific situations such as this.”

Protesters call on other counties to stop sending animals to the rescue, advocate for transparent communication with the Sheriff’s office, bring justice to Miranda and shut the rescue down for good. This permit reinstatement has fueled criticism from community members who remain concerned about the multiple violations previously cited against the rescue. This has not been the first protest at the courthouse since the initial investigation. 

In an official statement on the Miranda’s Rescue website posted in June, Miranda claims the business’s morals have always been followed despite media coverage and online commentary.

“Miranda’s Rescue is a no-kill rescue,” Miranda said. “We do not euthanize animals simply to make space. However, as we state on our website, there are rare circumstances in which euthanasia may be necessary — when an animal is suffering from a terminal condition or when it poses a serious, ongoing danger to people or other animals. In those situations, we make the most humane and responsible decision we can, always with public safety and animal welfare in mind.”

Ashley Elwell, who worked at Miranda’s Rescue in 2012, described Miranda’s unethical behavior and frustration amongst animal lovers.

“Justice needs to be served, and his acts were fraudulent,” Elwell said. “I’m from Fortuna, and it’s a bad representation that justice is not being served because we are an animal community, and the way he went about doing things was out of greed.”

As of Sept. 29, Miranda’s Rescue will remain open. Miranda has no charges against him at this time. There will be another protest held at the Humboldt County Courthouse on Saturday Oct. 3 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Dan Close, a protester and Humboldt County resident, talked about his frustration with the lack of punishment Miranda received and the shock behind a permit reissue.

“I don’t know what it takes to rise to a felony and get charged, but it’s shocking to see them reissue a permit for operating a facility,” Close said. “It’s hard to deny the evidence, and doing this to a couple of dogs is enough to get you shut down. It’s kind of amazing that it has to be hundreds, not even to get you shut down.”

The first day of October marks the beginning of the National Week Without Driving, an event encouraging drivers to experience the barriers non-drivers face in a car-centric world. Learn about and enjoy the pleasure of walking, rolling, biking, bussing and so much more.

Morgan King, university climate action analyst and Cal Poly Humboldt sustainable transportation committee chair said,

“One of the goals of the week without driving is to get those folks making decisions around mobility and transportation to actually experience what it’s like to be a non-driver,” King said. “For me, my pie in the sky [goal] is that our university president, our vice presidents, participate and try it out,” King said. “They’re the ones that ultimately have the decision-making [power] and influence how new parking is built and how funding for things like transit is diminished.”

Building and maintaining parking lots is incredibly expensive. King cited parking feasibility studies the university conducted with outside firms, saying that it would be much more beneficial to improve infrastructure to help students get to campus without using a car instead of making it easier for them to park. 

Fifth-year interdisciplinary studies major Meg Hatcher has a car and a bike but chooses to walk to school every day. Hatcher finds it hard to talk about student access to transportation without acknowledging proposed cuts to university-funded transportation services.

“I think students’ access to transportation and bus lines being cut are very much linked.
I don’t know what the answer is, except keep running buses because students need to get places and community members need to get places,” Hatcher said. “So, I am pro-public transportation.” 

Ishan Grewal, a senior general biology major lives at the Hinarr Hu Moulik (HHM) complex but struggles to find parking near his dorm, so he parks his car on campus and relies on shuttles to and from HHM. 

 “It can be a hassle to get back and forth just because the bus and shuttles got defunded; it’s like the scheduling’s been kind of funky… The schedule is posted on physical paper, but they don’t follow it to the T,” Grewal said. “Sometimes I’ll be waiting there for 20 minutes and I’m like, okay, well, screw this.
I just walk and I literally get to campus before the bus shows up.” 

King described how building more parking isn’t the catch-all solution it may seem. 

“Generally, it can be an issue for some to find parking on campus,” King said. “But does that mean that we build more parking, or instead do we invest in transit, pedestrian and bike infrastructure to alleviate parking constraints?”

Everyone has a different reaction to grief. Some expect it to be immediate, a fast-acting chemical agent triggering some latent resting sadness. Others think it’ll be slow, a dreary uneventful trudge until you find some material piece of a person and it stabs you clean through your foot. For Gilla Band frontman Dara Kiely, grief has been more like a radiation chamber.

Pugnello, Gilla Band’s fourth album and first since the death of Kiely’s father, demonstrates a band in the throes of a seemingly horrific episode. A smorgasbord of motormouthed pop culture references, misappropriated turns of phrase and anguished screams — it’s akin to listening to the self-deifying ravings of a man on a bus at 3 a.m., but filtered through the band’s signature weaponized noise, you start to feel that maybe he is god.

At times, the album strips away its conspiratorial mise-en-scène style and lays bare some bleak emotional truths. Track three is titled “Alogia,” meaning poverty of speech, a common condition of schizophrenia. Towards the end of the song, when Kiely declares “All scarlet alogia,” it’s as if he’s characterizing it as a transmittable sickness or a flower in bloom. “At the Gallop,” the album’s bleakest track, swaps out Kiely’s vocal theatrics for a monotoned robot voice. “I’m dead to lots of people. Even to the ones I love.” it drones.

Kiely’s mental health struggles have been no secret — resulting in cancelled shows, stints in the hospital, a period where he lived in a tent in his parents’ backyard and, yes, a brief dalliance with believing himself to be god — it wasn’t until recently that he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. “Prolix,” the opening track on their 2019 release The Talkies, prominently featured a recording of Kiely suffering a panic attack, leading to a pervasive feeling that there was something happening to Kiely. On Pugnello opener “The Angelus,” Kiely feels much more like the something that’s happening. Exploding outward, rather than collapsing inward.

Where the band truly makes this outpouring of madness its own is in its whimsically unhinged lyricism. Painting in absurdist emotional vulnerabilities against a canvas of undulating distorted mayhem. The kaiju industrial stomp of “The Megazord” could have you convinced you’re listening to a very serious and very intense song — until Kiely starts screaming, “I assembled the Megazord!” and it becomes abundantly clear he’s talking about a Power Rangers action figure. This is also not the sole Power Rangers reference across the album.

With a boundary-pushing lineup at his back — comprised of guitarist Alan Duggan, bassist Daniel Fox and drummer Adam Faulkner — Kiely could easily lose himself to self-seriousness. The auditory assault on display is staggering. At times akin to getting battered by syncopated steel rain. Yet, in a paradoxical turn, it’s Kiely’s frantic screeds of dissociative rambling that root the album in normalcy. There’s a core friction between the mundanity of the subject matter, the spontaneity of its delivery and the hostility of its backdrop that makes Pugnello infinitely compelling and fresh. 

Gilla Band — employing spinelike rhythmic structures, then dipping them ever deeper into vats of boiling metallic flesh — have pushed their trademark blend of post-punk, industrial techno, noise rock and no wave to new heights. Tracks like “Alogia” have a slinky danceability to them, with synths like lungs heaving up and down and strutting percussion. The deranged polyrhythmic groove of “Crisp Pop,” supplemented by smothered screams and a snappy bassline, is a vertebrae-snapping good time. Provided you don’t mind if, when you cut the proverbial rug, it sounds a bit like it’s wailing in pain.

On Sept. 3 Cal Poly Humboldt (CPH) tested a space-age way to clean our buildings, a power washing drone piloted by a window washer standing safely on the ground. The drone was first used at Behavioral Social Sciences (BSS), one of the dirtiest buildings at our university. 

Mathematics department chair Tyler Evans has been in BSS since it opened in 2007, and has never seen the windows get cleaned. 

“That’s not to say they haven’t been doing it, just that I’ve never seen anybody washing the windows,” said Evans.

Due to BSS’s unique position, washing the windows has been an uphill battle. Trees and hillsides prevent window washers from being able to safely clean the north and south windows, the Native American Forum building is also in the way of the north side. The west and east buildings could be cleaned by hand, but the equipment that would bring a worker safely to the windows would cost $15,000 a month to rent.

The drone shoots a blast of water mixed with a cleaning solution to get the gunk off of the windows without ever touching them. While no detergent was used in the recent test, CPH said that they would use an environmentally safe, biodegradable cleaning solution. 

The University did its test with Lucid, an AI robotics company specializing in autonomous construction robots, but primarily cleaning robots. Interim Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Travis Fleming said that the drone wouldn’t be replacing a traditional window washer; it would only be another tool at their disposal.

“We were just looking at ways in which we can support our staff to do something safe, safer, than being up high in the air, [something] less strenuous on their bodies,” Fleming said. “We’re trying to uncover every rock to see what our options are to be able to help support the campus and keep our buildings clean.”

Some students think the new technology is a good use of resources, but feel like a drone popping up during your study session could be a bit frightening.

“If we can’t get people up there and the windows are fucking disgusting I don’t see a problem with it,” said Miles Agathen, sophomore elementary education major. “If someone doesn’t know what’s happening or they’re not actively washing the windows I can see how they would be freaked out.”

The University is aware that not all students may be as enthusiastic about window washing drones.

“[We recognize] that there is a lot of discomfort with drone technology being used in a college campus,” Fleming said. “Before any decision would be made — whether we’re hiring a company with a drone or purchasing a drone ourselves — we would be willing to listen to all those concerns and try to make people feel more comfortable with the decision like that.”

The University has not yet decided if they will implement the drone, either by buying one and cleaning the windows in-house or working with a company specializing in drone washing.
