In keeping with tradition,

mistakes were made

Sometimes my keen reporter senses tingle and they lead me to chase down a hot story that was hidden in the gloaming. Other times, they lead me to a bright open field with a bunch of people standing around going, “What kept you? We knew all along.” I’m afraid that this particular story was in the latter camp. The secretive sounding “event” mentioned at the July meeting of the Camp Meeker Recreation and Park District which I found so mysterious turns out to have been reported in the Press Democrat on November 24^th, 2009, the day after it happened.

Camp Meeker fire danger index remains moderate despite the loss of the dam.

Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Remember when I said that there was always something to talk about at Camp Meeker Rec and Park meetings? Well, this meeting was no exception. The meeting began with two comments from the public, who were out in force. The board chair, Jeffry Fawcett, walked through the door and did a double take, remarking, “Full house tonight!” He was the second one to make that same comment. There were four people present not representing the district and one of them had business at the meeting.

The West County Wire is mainly concerned with the meetings of quasi-governmental agencies like water boards and fire department boards, the kinds of places where a decision might be made that could directly impact the quality of your life in West Sonoma County. West County Wire is dedicated to the premise that you have a right to know what these decisions are and how they come to pass.

Tuesday, 7/20, is the next monthly meeting of the Camp Meeker Recreation and Park District. The agenda is posted at the meeting site, next door to the Fire Station; past agendas are also available as pdfs on their website. The current agenda is not as substantive as last month’s, but there is still more meat than gristle on that bone.

Welcome!

…and thanks for visiting the newest addition to the news! I looked around recently and discovered that no one was covering the important local meetings in and around the West County, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. As the saying goes, if you don't like the news, go out and make some yourself!

And that's just what we are going to do. Not make news as in be our own headline or create stories ad nihilo, but rather make the news available to the people that it will impact directly. Matters decided by our local officials can raise our taxes, change the quality of our water, increase traffic and decrease services. Make sure you know what those decisions are and how they affect you.

You can check out calendar for the times and places of the meetings we will cover. And if you don't like the news I'm making, come out and make some of it yourself!

Peace,

Jeremy
