"Hands along the pipeline" is an event
that the LNG Task Force has been planning
for several months. We
are asking people to show up at Pacifica High
School in Oxnard, where we will hold hands
along the route of the proposed pipeline along Gonzales Road. The media will
be there, so we are hoping for a big turnout.
HANDS ALONG THE PIPELINE event, scheduled for
Saturday morning, May 14th from 10:00AM until noon in front of the Pacifica
High School at 600 E Gonzales Road (Oxnard Blvd and Gonzales). LNG is big
news in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties and throughout the country.
HANDS
ALONG THE PIPELINE is your best opportunity to show local and statewide
decision makers that you expect them to stand up for your right to say NO to
LNG!
Please confirm that you will join me. Take a minute today to look at your
calendar, write-in HANDS ALONG THE PIPELINE and then send me an email saying
“You can count on me!”

NO LNG
Have You Given Thot 2:
LNG Has a serious impact on air quality! Especially for those most vulnerable to air pollution!
Asthma is related to air quality and our air quality is threatened by plans for two LNG Platforms off of our coast. There are many risks, but the daily impact would be on air quality. Hundreds of Tons of Nitrogen Oxide and other pollutants would be released into the air - every year. Add to the air pollution the fact that Oxnard is in a unique air inversion zone that sometimes compresses to less than 100 feet high. This is in the AQMD handbook. Most air inversion zones are 1,000 feet high. Please support the American Lung Association of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties' 2005 Blow the Whistle on Asthma Walk, scheduled for May 7, 2005 at the Ventura Harbor Village in Ventura.

TOWERING - DISCERNO: : : : : : THOTS ABOUT
OXNARD'S FUTURE AIMS SKYWARD . . .
Towers Over
Oxnard............
|
Citizens
in North Oxnard are wondering what will become of the recent proposal
submitted before the
Oxnard City Council regarding three new giant high-rise towers that will
dwarf the two existing neighboring towers built by Martin V. "Bud" Smith at Oxnard's
financial plaza.
Oxnard leadership is
considering a new focus for growth and that direction is
Windsor North Neighborhood Chair Jean Joneson is organizing neighborhoods in the northern sector of Oxnard to become immediately involved in this proposal by the City to approve of such a dramatically imposing set of structures so close to the railroad, highway, Esplanade, Vineyard, Walgreen's -- the Trailer Park across from Levitz. and just the whole future and skyline of Oxnard. Of most concern to Ms. Joneson, is the lack of neighborhood information being shared with neighborhoods regarding major projects in their area. Cited by Joneson, Chair of Windsor North is an apparent lack of neighborhood organization in adjoining neighborhoods such as El Rio. In a recent e-mail to neighborhood chairs and representatives, Joneson stated: " River Park was approved because El Rio has no neighborhood council active. With the help of the existing and surrounding neighborhood councils we should voice our opinion and concerns regarding the towers." The idea of the Towers may have left the cognitive public mind, but the project is still on the drawing board and most likely will not be named Bedford Pinkard Towers, but it will indeed bear the brand of which ever public official steps up the plate claiming this project as 'his baby!". There will most likely be some comment on this proposal at the next Inter-Neighborhood Council Forum (INCF) meeting on May 4th ----- the INCF meets every First Wednesday of the month in the City Council Chambers and meetings convene at 7 p.m. Special Guest Speaker at the May INCF meeting will be Oxnard Police Chief John Crombach. Public and Neighborhood Representatives are invited to attend this public meeting - and if you can't attend, you can watch it on Oxnard City Watch TV channels 10 and 17....(on cable).
