By Frederick Reimers
"...in 1938, a massive flood killed 85 people and caused millions of
dollars in damage, sealing the river's fate. Three years later, workers
began laying 3.5 million barrels of cement and 7 million tons of
reinforced steel onto the river's banks... It was
indicative of Los Angeles' convoluted water practice: The river-the
city's sole water source for 100 years-became nothing more than a storm
drain..."

California Democrats will assume pivotal roles in the new Congress and White House,
giving the state an outsize influence over federal policy and
increasing the likelihood that its culture of activist regulation will
be imported to Washington.

By Robert Muller
"...We have also been told that old chaparral is "senescent" and "needs" to
burn in order to retain its vigor. Fire releases nutrients that have
built up in the undecomposed litter, and is necessary to rejuvenate a
stagnant ecosystem. Again, the evidence does not support such
conclusions..."

GlobalTribe: Mexico Eco-Punks
In Mexico, host Amy Eldon got to meet a group of punks who are helping
the over-populated and sprawling Mexico City launch an ecological
revolution. From them, we learn about permaculture, natural
methods of home improvements, and the importance of nature in the
fight against urban decay.

Applied Watershed Restoration for Drylands
-The Permaculture Institute with
Craig Sponholtz
Dates: June 6-10 -or- August 15-19 2009
This is an intensive, project-oriented class -intellectually challenging and involves
physical labor. Highly recommended for water professionals and serious conservationists.

"...This course changed the way I teach... it not only changed my
long established proffering on "Water in the Landscape" but my own,
personally revered, disquisition on "Pattern Understanding"was
challenged - and changed for the better. The Permaculture Institute and
Craig Sponholtz presented complex dynamic systems ecology in a way that
actually made fluvial geomorphology - fun and interesting(and how many
people and organizations can you say that about!) ...we learned to build and actually
apply
appropriate techniques... and we were
fortunate enough to witnessed the evolutionary stages of watershed
restoration from Craig's site work over the past several years - it was
a rare and incredibly valuable experiential education opportunity..." L. Santoyo,

ourselves and each other." Joanna Macy
Joanna & Fran Macy are coming to the Central Coast. The event is being held
at Dancing Deer Farm in Templeton, CA (dancingdeer.org) sponsored by the Mothers
for Peace and the Terra Foundation. -It is a rare and wonderful opportunity to
experience the work of this world-renown eco-philosopher and activist - a woman
