One of our local residents was walking her dog on the trail in the lake bed Wednesday evening around 5:30 pm. She heard coyotes and decided to take her small dog home. Please be careful out there with your children and smaller dogs.
You might remember the Yorba Linda Country Riders tried to bully our association over lakebed use and even tried to build stables in the lakebed. Well now they have resorted to new heights of egotism. They are bullying another local horse club over the use of the Paxton Equestrian Center which is a public facility.

I received this from Jim Prather:
The Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara , CA , last week caused these two to take shelter together. The fawn is 3 days old and the bobcat about 3 weeks. The fawn came from somewhere in the fire and the bobcat from Carpenteria. They immediately bonded and snuggled together under a desk in the Santa Barbara County Dispatch Office for several hours.
The bobcat kitten was rescued near Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ranch, where it was dehydrated and near death. They rescued the fawn during last week’s wildfire. Although wild animals, especially of separate species, are never placed together due to regulations, in this emergency situation, they had no choice. During the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals anywhere they could, since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn. The kitten ran to the fawn, and it was instant bonding.
Thanks to everyone who came out. We had our best turnout ever with over thirty participants. Several of our young men came and earned community service credits. The county participated with trash bags and a garbage truck. I’m sorry we didn’t get pictures of everyone but thanks again just the same.
