2019-09-28Sep 28, 2019 If you’re like me, you are proud of the defensible space work you’ve done, and humbled by the amount yet to do. Don’t lose momentum! Last month at the regular monthly CMRPD Board meeting, fish biologist Elizabeth Ruiz of the Russian River Salmon and Steelhead Monitoring Program gave a presentation showing the positive effects of this year’s stream augmentation efforts. |
2019-08-26Aug 26, 2019 The national behemoth issuing your home insurance policy have decided to go away from covering you. That is inconvenient at best and financially crippling at worst for you the homeowner, but you can be assured said insurance company behemoth has run the numbers. It’s what they do; their essential function in fact. This is one large factor underlying the near-seismic shifts in behavior regarding fire. It turns out that there is a way that might be better AND safer than the garden hose gambit. This is a system offered by a company called Frontline Wildfire Defense Systems. Essentially, it is a system of smart sprinklers installed on your home by professionals. These sprinklers, when activated, will cover your home with a biodegradable firefighting foam. |
2019-07-29Jul 29, 2019 There used to be a railroad that ran through Camp Meeker. It was called the North Pacific Coast Rail Road (at least at first), and it ran from Sausalito to Cazadero from 1877 to 1931. It was built to carry the redwood lumber from the sawmills that dotted the area like mushrooms after the rain. It’s all gone now, but there are still signs of the old railroad, if you look hard enough. |
2019-06-30Jun 30, 2019 Welcome to high summer! You are probably gearing up for July 4th, in whatever form or fashion you choose to celebrate it. Even if you’re not happy with the direction the country is heading (and many clearly are not), try to take the long view and celebrate what is great about this country. I won’t be so pompous as to tell you what that is. We all have our different answers. Seek and ye shall find. |
