To All,
Oxnard resident Rick Conrad, an LNG opponent, asked the
Ventura County Star newspaper to cover the June 5 Environmental Protection
Agency's LNG Air Quality permit hearing in Oxnard. The answer was no, the
Star does not cover "those smaller permit hearings." "Smaller" was the
Star's word. They said that they had covered the State Lands Commission
hearing in April and that was enough. Obviously, this is not a small
hearing. It will be at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center from 1:00 to
4:00pm and 6:00 to 9:00pm on June 5. The tremendous pollution from the BHP
project is probably the biggest impact. The statements and "information"
in both the Air Permit and the draft EIR discussion of air quality are
really flawed.
At the May 23 Wastewater Discharge Permit hearing, Rick
Conrad and others asked for an additional evening hearing on that permit
since that was only at 1:00pm on a Tuesday when most people were at work.
(The Star did not cover this hearing either.) We have heard no response to
that request. That makes this June 5 Air Permit hearing even more
important to attend since there is both an afternoon and evening hearing
time scheduled.

Publisher & Editor-in-Chief The United Farm Workers and the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation are proud to support the grassroots efforts of the "Cesar E. Chavez National Holiday Coalition". UFW Founder Cesar E. Chavez, stood as one of the heroic figures of the 20th century who inspired millions in our nation into action for economic and social justice, civil rights and political empowerment. He led the historic non-violent movement for farm workers' rights and was dedicated to building a movement of poor working people that extended beyond the fields and into cities and towns across the nation. The legacy of Cesar E. Chavez, like the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., serves to educate, inspire, and empower people from all walks of life. Cesar Chavez is a role model for all Americans and the generations to come. Ask Congress to designate March 31 as Cesar E. Chavez Day to ensure Chavez' legacy is recognized and celebrated throughout our nation with a federal paid holiday and a day of service and learning in our public schools. ....... Take Action at: http://www.ufw.org/chavezholiday Tell-A-Friend: Please help make the Cesar E. Chavez national holiday a reality. Forward this message to at least 10 friends or family and ask them to sign the petition today. "Good friends are like stars......You don't always see them, but you know they are always there."

Hurricane Instructions ------------Could Be useful with Earthquakes - *To:* Ex Floridians, present Floridians, future Floridians or those who know a Floridian We're about to enter the hurricane season. Any day now, you're going to turn on the TV and see a weather person pointing to some radar blob out in the Gulf of Mexico and making two basic meteorological points: (1) There is no need to panic. (2) We could all be killed. Yes, hurricane season is an exciting time to be in Florida. If you're new to the area, you're probably wondering what you need to do to prepare for the possibility that we'll get hit by "the big one.'' Based on our experiences, we recommend that you follow this simple three-step hurricane preparedness plan: STEP 1. Buy enough food and bottled water to last your family for at least three days. STEP 2. Put these supplies into your car. STEP 3. Drive to Nebraska and remain there until Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, statistics show that most people will not follow this sensible plan. Most people will foolishly stay here in Florida. We'll start with one of the most important hurricane preparedness items: HOMEOWNERS' INSURANCE: If you own a home, you must have hurricane insurance. Fortunately, this insurance is cheap and easy to get, as long as your home meets two basic requirements: (1) It is reasonably well-built, and (2) It is located in Nebraska. Unfortunately, if your home is located in Florida, or any other area that might actually be hit by a hurricane, most insurance companies would prefer not to sell you hurricane insurance, because then they might be required to pay YOU money, and that is certainly not why they got into the insurance business in the first place. So you'll have to scrounge around for an insurance company, which will charge you an annual premium roughly equal to the replacement value of your house. At any moment, this company can drop you like used dental floss. Since Hurricane Andrew, I have had an estimated 27 different home-insurance companies. This week, I'm covered by the Bob and Big Stan Insurance Company, under a policy which states that, in addition to my premium, Bob and Big Stan are entitled, on demand, to my kidneys. SHUTTERS: Your house should have hurricane shutters on all the windows, all the doors, and -- if it's a major hurricane -- all the toilets. There are several types of shutters, with advantages and disadvantages: Plywood shutters: The advantage is that, because you make them yourself, they're cheap. The disadvantage is that, because you make them yourself, they will fall off. Sheet-metal shutters: The advantage is that these work well, once you get them all up. The disadvantage is that once you get them all up, your hands will be useless bleeding stumps, and it will be December. Roll-down shutters: The advantages are that they're very easy to use, and will definitely protect your house. The disadvantage is that you will have to sell your house to pay for them. "Hurricane-proof'' windows: These are the newest wrinkle in hurricane protection: They look like ordinary windows, but they can withstand hurricane winds! You can be sure of this, because the salesman says so. He lives in Nebraska. "Hurricane Proofing Your Property: As the hurricane approaches, check your yard for movable objects like barbecue grills, planters, patio furniture, visiting relatives, etc.; you should, as a precaution, throw these items into your swimming pool (if you don't have a swimming pool, you should have one built immediately). Otherwise, the hurricane winds will turn these objects into deadly missiles. EVACUATION ROUTE: If you live in a low-lying area, you should have an evacuation route planned out. (To determine whether you live in a low-lying area, look at your driver's license; if it says "Florida" you live in a low-lying area.) The purpose of having an evacuation route is to avoid being trapped in your home when a major storm hits. Instead, you will be trapped in a gigantic traffic jam several miles from your home, along with two hundred thousand other evacuees. So, as a bonus, you will not be lonely. HURRICANE SUPPLIES: If you don't evacuate, you will need a mess of supplies. Do not buy them now! Florida tradition requires that you wait until the last possible minute, then go to the supermarket and get into vicious fights with strangers over who gets the last can of SPAM. In addition to food and water, you will need the following supplies: 23 flashlights. At least $167 worth of batteries that turn out, when the power goes out, to be the wrong size for the flashlights. Bleach. (No, I don't know what the bleach is for. NOBODY knows what The bleach is for. But it's traditional, so GET some!) A 55-gallon drum of underarm deodorant. A big knife that you can strap to your leg. (This will be useless in a hurricane, but it looks cool.) A large quantity of raw chicken, to placate the alligators. (Ask anybody who went through Andrew; after the hurricane, there WILL be irate alligators.) $35,000 in cash or diamonds so that, after the hurricane passes, you can buy a generator from a man with no discernible teeth. Of course these are just basic precautions. As the hurricane draws near, it is vitally important that you keep abreast of the situation by turning on your television and watching TV reporters in rain slickers stand right next to the ocean and tell you over and over how vitally important it is for everybody to stay away from the ocean. Good luck and remember: it's great living in paradise! Those of you who aren't here yet you should come. Really! |

WHERE IS BROWN 25
............................................................................WHEN YOU NEED IT : ? Did you read the "B" Section of the Star about how the entire City Council (all five of them) went on a field trip to talk about "a fashion retail center" for a project that hadn't even submitted a pre application? Gosh, that used to be called "A VIOLATION OF THE OPEN MEETING LAW", aka the Brown Act, so: 1. When was the public notified about this closed session? 2. How did the Council members get to Rancho Cucamonga? Did they all take the same car? Did three of them go in the same car, which would mean that the going and coming were separate closed sessions? 3. What else did the Council talk about during this time, which creates another violation of the Act? OR, did they just sit in the same car but not say a word the entire two hour trip? 4. Why go on such a long "fact finding trip" when the 'Officials with RiverPark Legacy, heretofore called "the DEVELOPERS" haven't and wouldn't even submit a "pre-application within 3 months" according the Matt Winegar? 5. Recall that the DA's attorney told jurors that "Convicting someone on a conspiracy charge isn't as complicated as it sounds". "It can be as simple as two people casually walking down the street agreeing to commit a crime like spray-painting a building and then taking steps toward accomplishing that goal, he said. "That's all you need in a conspiracy," --- Barrick told jurors." [From Star first page story "Taggers hit with felony charges".] Well than what do you call it when FIVE Council members agree to violate the Brown Act? If you missed the story --- Field trip may benefit River Park shopping Oxnard officials go out of town for ideas to fashion retail center By Charles Levin, clevin@VenturaCountyStar.com April 18, 2006 Oxnard Councilman Dean Maulhardt says he doesn't care much for shopping, but that could change. Maulhardt joined Mayor Tom Holden and three other council members on afield trip Friday to Rancho Cucamonga, where they checked out Victoria Gardens, a new 1.3 million-square-foot shopping center. |
