The Mountain Gardener: Firescape landscaping

October 10, 2013

I walk regularly in Henry Cowell State Park in Felton. I can't imagine losing the majestic redwood forest I enjoy so much to a fire. Over the summer there were a number of arson-caused fires in the park. Actually 10 separate fires have occurred in the same general area and along the San Lorenzo River over the past six months, some caused by campfire escapes and some by arson. All of them were caused by humans.

A word on Down syndrome

October 10, 2013

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. This has particular meaning to me because 11 years ago when I married my dear wife Beth, I gained not only an incredible wife but also an equally incredible Down syndrome brother-in-law named Danny. Coincidentally, Danny had been a patient of mine in urgent care for a number of years before I met Beth. I always enjoyed seeing him back then as I had a special affection for those with this genetic disorder.

The Mountain Gardener: Fire-safe landscaping, part 1

October 3, 2013

I drove through the Groveland area near Yosemite a couple of days before the Rim Fire started on August 17. The local talk over Tioga Pass was then about the recent Aspen Fire in the Sierra National Forest. The Rim fire has now burned 400 square miles of forest and cost $122 million to fight to date. What started as a 40 acre fire when discovered exploded to over 100,000 acres within two days. It is now the third largest in California history.
