There is a nice guest commentary by Michael Caplin, ex-CPOA president in response to Coastal Commission Senior Deputy Director Charles Lester’s July 17 guest commentary. It primarily addresses the Coastal Commission’s rulings on maritime chaparral and its effects on fire clearance. You can read it here:

This link should work, now.

I have created a new page, just for announcement of events for the South Coast. Just click on the Announcement page to the right. My hope is that people can check here, easily, without wading through all the posts to find information on meetings, events, or other information of interest to the immediate South Coast area, as I learn of them. Jade Festival meetings can be found there, for example.
