Direct interviews, television frames, radio archives, candidate forums and public-event video live beside the larger source record rather than being reduced to a glossy reel.
Verified archive notes
This clip is retained with the Caper Acres story because it documents the unconventional Alternative Custody idea used during Chico's fiscal crisis: people serving sentences could perform supervised park work while the city was struggling to staff and maintain public space. The same clip also preserves the separate Bidwell Park alcohol-policy debate, so the archive labels both subjects instead of pretending the video was about only one.
This is the school-site track-meet archive, kept separate from the Chico State basketball dispute. It belongs with the history of an inclusive school-site meet that Randall helped finance and sustain, later associated with Cami Anderson's name. That separation matters: two disability-sports stories, different institutions, different conflicts.
This video is the Special Olympics basketball archive. It belongs with the dispute over Chico State facilities, the tournament's cancellation/return history, and Randall's longer record as a coach, local program leader, fundraiser and finance person. It should not be mislabeled as the school-site track meet.
A personal rather than civic source: useful because the larger site includes athletics, outdoors, risk, preparation and a life outside meetings. The archive keeps it in that lane instead of manufacturing a political moral from jumping out of an airplane.
KZFR's own archive identifies this as a Without A Roof program with Chico Housing Action Team. The discussion is unusually useful because it connects homelessness to housing supply, vacancy, municipal finance, gap financing and shared accountability. Stone argues that local and state funding structures can disincentivize housing and that both political will and financing are necessary to close the gap.
KZFR's archive identifies the broadcast and links directly to the City of Chico recording of Mayor Stone's State of the City address. This replaces the old "metadata pending" label.
On the first anniversary of the Camp Fire, KCRW interviewed Mayor Stone about what happened to Chico after tens of thousands evacuated from Paradise: a housing market already near capacity, population pressure, service demand and the civic strain of absorbing a disaster that did not burn structures inside Chico itself.
A reelection-era forum preserving answers in their original sequence rather than rewriting them after the election. The archive retains the forum story, but does not substitute unrelated park footage while the direct forum video source is being reattached.
Television coverage documenting the Alternative Custody idea used to support park work during Chico's fiscal crisis, while also preserving the separate Bidwell Park alcohol-policy debate.

One of more than one jump, because apparently ordinary gravity required independent verification.

The event and remaining participant names stay in the archive with unresolved metadata visible rather than deleted.
Field-based public explanation often carried more context than a studio interview could.
The basketball video belongs with the Chico State facilities dispute, the 2012 cancellation reporting, the university response and the later return of the tournament. It is deliberately kept separate from the school-site track meet.
Watch “SOBC Basketball Monday” on YouTube →2008 presidential primary archive
Randall identifies a previously supplied television clip as Action News coverage from the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. That clip belongs with the DACC/delegate/headquarters sequence. The later Action News Now studio interview already in this archive is not a substitute, and will not be relabeled simply because both happen to contain the words “Action News.”

Open Facebook video →Archive method
Each external item is treated as a source, not a trophy. The site records what the linked piece actually contributes: a direct interview, a contemporaneous news account, a broadcast segment, a policy record, or personal archival footage. Where a title or date can be verified from the publisher, it is stated. Where the underlying page is inaccessible or metadata remains uncertain, the archive says so instead of inventing certainty.
That distinction matters because the same event can appear differently in a campaign video, a local newspaper, a radio interview and a later institutional record. The point here is to preserve the record and connect it to the surrounding housing, governance, family, civic and professional narrative.
Campaign video archive
The recovered campaign-video stills include Rhys Stone and the family’s late beagle, Buddy. They belong in the archive because they show the campaigns as lived family history rather than only signs, endorsements and election returns. The original stills should be used directly when their raw files are available to the build; no synthetic replacement is appropriate.
Media, CV & verification
The linked vita preserves the full institutional record. The media kit explains what the entities do, what Randall’s roles involved, and where to verify the public highlights.
