The Santa Paula Times

Santa Paula has a great little newspaper. It cost $36.00 a year. The delivery is twice a week. About every other Wensday, you can get a free newpaper, sometimes even if you dont subscribe. It talks about alot of local news and sometimes happing around the world.

Student Voice

I think the Student Voice is a great paper here on campus. It not only tells you about VC college but talks about Oxnard & Moorpark College too. Since I have been coming here to VC (this is my second sesmest),  I look forward in reading each new paper that comes out. It talks to about sports, arts & craft, student life, and the web page. You can phone them or you can fax them any time. They are located in Moorpark.

What Can I Do About With My Old Cell Phone

I can recycle it. I can also donate it reclycle companies. I can go on the enternet and find out how to recycle my old phone. I am learning the ideas are endless.

My Draft – paper #1

What is your topic or the problem you hope to address?

That everyone should recycle at home , school, business and at work. I think that if we get into a repeative action that it will just be something natual to do. As a example, just as going to bed and getting up.

The Cracking of the Glen Canyon Dam

This is about three men from Berkley. They believe that the Glen Canyon Dam should’nt have been built and should be torn down. Because it stops the natural flow of the water through the canyon below; that is so beautiful. The dam is located between Utah and Nevada. In the video, it shows Ed Abby and many protesters, protesting the dam. I was so touch when I saw this video. There were also others videos to view, also on this subject. 

What I did over the Spring Break

What I did over the spring break was catch up on any of my home work. Such as math. And I read a few chapters on my United States History II. I finish reading my book club reading, Into The Wild. I have’nt finish reading a book like that, ever since I was 13 years old. I cleaned my house, went for a walk in the mornings with my husbund. In all, it felt good just to be off.

My Concerns for the City and For the Wild Animals That Live In It

My concerns are for my city of Santa Paula. It is growing and there is not much land to build in our town. The city counsel gives permission to build apartments around town; that are about three stories high. Some are also built on the edge of the sidewalk. We also don’t have allot of parks, so people cant play their sports. Land is so precious. Where I live, their are building allot of expensive homes; up on the hill behind where I live. People don’t have allot of money to buy these new homes. At the same time they are taking away the homes of wild life, such as the coyotes, skunks, quails and raccoons. We used to hear the coyotes at night far away. Now a days, they are very close.

A quote from “Coming into the Watershed” by Gary Snyder (360). Habitat flows across both private and public land. We must find a way to work with ecosystems that respects both the rights of landowners and the rights of bears.

I think this is true also for the wild animals that live in my commutes. For which they also live here too. So we must find a way an ecosystem to, between the landowners and wild habitat.
