Introduced by Rich Pfeiffer, who thanked the Supervisor for obtaining funds for creek clearing following the Bond Fire, Wagner delivered updates on a variety of current issues: Public, well-lit and monitored “safe zones” are being estab- lished for marital meetings, child custody handoffs, eBay transac- tions, at locations like the Lake Forest Sheriff office. Since even a trace of fentanyl, a powerful heroin-like drug, can be fatal, police and firefighters are being issued Naloxone, a nasal- spray overdose antidote. New equipment for firefighters includes (1) wire cutters, (2) a gi- ant night-flying water-dropping helicopter, and (3) cows (for graz- ing vegetation before it turns into a fire hazard). A new 288-acre cemetery east of Anaheim, including dedicated areas for military veterans and first responders, will probably open in 2025 or 2026. In response to complaints about delays in rebuilding after the Bond Fire, Wagner said that some of the plans submitted have been for more than simple rebuilds, and that current regulations would not allow grandfathering in everything like before. Wagner did say, though, that his office might be able to speed things up for homeowners by “getting everybody in the same room” to discuss a site’s issues rather than having everyone play endless telephone tag. Asked why recreational vehi- cles were moved, but oaks left to burn at Lake Irvine, Wagner said that he did not know how the Fire Authority determines priorities, but he could find out. He admitted that the county earns $2 million from RV storage, which is hard to find, but that there is some in Irvine as well as at the lake. Finally, Wagner announced that trees infested with gold spot- ted oak borer (GSOB) beetles can now be declared a nuisance, requiring property owners to take action, just like for existing weed abatement notices. For that, Mike Boeck presented Wagner with an ICL cartoon GSOB T-shirt, which Don promptly donned for public- ity photos to promote the current GSOB awareness campaign. Wagner’s warmup act was ICL president Geoffrey Sarkissian, who regaled the audience with his semi-well-known “Canyon Folks” song. Fair and fare-thee-well Fine art, fashion, fiddles, and funnel cake greeted visitors to the 53rd annual Silverado Country Fair, Oct. 14 and 15. School of Rock students polished their per- formance skills Sunday morning, while closing acts catered to a tie- dyed crowd to whom the Grateful Dead are never dead. Six days later, the same park hosted a community potluck and celebration of life for long- time canyon icon Bob Hunt. Bill Shakespeare of England couldn’t be there, but he left a note for Bob: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complex- ion dimm’d; And every fair from fair some- time declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. How history happens When Bruce Newell moved to Modjeska, Leo Hetzel told him that he was more or less expected to join the volunteer fire depart- ment. So Newell did. Forty-five years later, New- ell is still on the job, apparently because Hetzel has not given him permission to retire. Hetzel retired, but after turning 80, he now has an excuse: firefighting would interfere with his surfing schedule. What hath God wrought Telegraph weed is a California native plant having small yellow flowers on a leafy central stalk up to six feet tall. You can see examples along Santiago Can- yon Road near the toll roads; but to distinguish those from all the goldenbush shrubs, notice the leaves—telegraph weed leaves are fuzzy, and smell like cam- phor when you rub them. Blooming year round, tele- graph weed readily grows in dis- turbed soil, which might be why it is the Rodney Dangerfield of native plants, shunned by gar- deners. Perhaps this species acquired its current name by resembling the telegraph poles installed throughout the U. S. during the 1800s. Near-instant coast- to-coast communication was achieved in 1861, whereas 20 years earlier, news of the death of President William Henry Har- rison took 110 days to reach Los Angeles. If you stand in the right spot, you can view a telegraph weed appearing to support overhead wires, just like a real telegraph pole. It’s a visual pole-ish joke. But the on-off signals zipping through today’s cables are not that different from the dots and dashes used by Samuel F. B. Morse to tap out his famous four- word message inaugurating tele- graph service between Washing- ton, D.C. and Baltimore in 1844. OPA's signature fundraiser scores another success The OPA Annual Fall BBQ & Dance, Sept. 23, was a sold-out event, with dining, dancing and bidding wars to raise money to support the community’s exten- sive trail system. Each year, the Orange Park Association pres- ents the Gary Bandy Award to a resident who has given above- and-beyond support to trail maintenance, specifically, and the community in general.
