LA is doing this? I must be hallucinating.

LA is tired of paying for them. Money talks.

This story has 3 strikes against it:
1. It comes from the LA Slimes.
2. This was supposedly proposed by a rat, Baca.
3. This was supposedly proposed in LA.

Finally! I'm glad -someone- (california, no less) is doing something. Some interesting things in this article...
"Yaroslavsky expressed concern that jail officials would refer inmates to federal custody before they were tried and convicted. After introducing an amendment that would allow the Sheriff's Department to refer only illegal immigrants convicted of crimes..."
Isn't illegal immigration a crime? Hmm....
And another:
" One speaker at Tuesday's board meeting said she was an undocumented immigrant who had been a victim of spousal abuse for 11 years. "If this policy was in place," she said later, "I would have never contacted the police no matter how much abuse there was because I would be afraid that my immigration status would be at issue." "
Boo hoo. My heart cries for the poor illegals. And they ARENT undocumented. They're illegals.

Thats what I'm saying! If people are standing up and saying that, isn't that a confession? Or at least..I think they call it an unsolicited utterance? That would seem to be competent evidence. Why isn't she on the mexico bus right then?

How are you, your family and land doing after all the water/rain? Fine. The drainage control projects I completed this summer worked as planned with minimal damage, especially considering we got hit with ten inches of rain in a couple of days last October.
I wasn't even here when the big squall hit, but it must have been awesome. There was leaf duff six inches deep blown out twenty feet across within sixty feet of the ridge!!! Six hundred feet down from the ridge, after accumulating all the water off a steep hillside averaging 35% slopes, the water diverted off a log into a stream meander I was planning for the future. The Santa Barbara Sedge growing on top of an alluvium took that entire raging flow, ten feet wide and at least a foot deep, without ANY damage. That is one amazing plant. I wish I'd been here to take pictures during the storm but I was in Santa Maria at the time (I do have some I took when we got back).
Because the storm hit in mid-October, a lot of people with erosion control projects in the works got absolutely nailed before they were done. The major project I was doing came through great because I had been able to irrigate it through the preceding eight weeks.

Good news about how your property survived the deluges. I thought that you were about finished with your drainage project.
We got hit with the October rain, but the one before and after Christmas was the biggie. We had like 18 days of highly measureable rain during that period.
My close to two decade drainage project held up. Our dry creek which is about 5' wide and from 6 inches deep to 3 foot deep that re routes the water coming off our hill and away from our water did a good job as did the older stuff.
Tell me about Santa Barbara Sedge. How big does it grow and is it realitively fire proof in our dry summers. I can't irrigate in the area that I might plant it.

Tell me about Santa Barbara Sedge. How big does it grow and is it realitively fire proof in our dry summers. I can't irrigate in the area that I might plant it. Carex barbarae is a perennial (photos). It grows dark green 18-24 inches high. You can grow clumps and divide them into as many as fifty nodes in a year. They transplant very well into poor silty soils. They then propagate from rhizomes. It grows into Southern Oregon, but I suspect it is sensitive to salt (see the map at the link). I don't know about its fire tolerance, but since the Indians used to burn the places from which it originates, and because the plant spreads from rhizomes I suspect it would do fine after a fire as long as the ground was dry enough when it burned.
This page has information on native grasses you might also find useful. The seed is expensive, but because they are perennials that seed annually, you get a lot of bang for your buck if you know how to mow preferentially.

You are best off looking for plants in your area and propagating them yourself from a bunch in your yard.

Great if they stay in the system long enough to get transferred to county. Most get OR'd out of local jails.
Still, it's something.

"You are best off looking for plants in your area and propagating them yourself from a bunch in your yard."
Nature has done a pretty good job at that. We have a lot of natural green oak and manzanita in our upper area.
I was thinking about sedging the retaining wall area and along the seasonal creek area.
Plants that do well in our back area don't in our son's/dil area 60 miles away as the crow flies and vice versa.
