    Letter to The EditorSo…  you’re opening the forest up?!?   Please see the attached photos I took in the area between Crescent Moon Ranch and my neighborhood, Cathedral Vista subdivision.  Recent rain will not bring these trees back to life, leaving us at extreme risk of fire.  A few neighbors and I fought a forest fire already on 6-8-21 a few hundred yards from here.  Apparently human caused.

    Opening this area of National Forest is insane!  Before you open it, get some resources in here to remove all the dead trees, brush and grass!  Anything short of that is criminal neglect.

      I agree … opening the forrest is a bad idea…

      I also disagree with the opening of the Forests at this time.
      I would like to add that I was at Banjo Bills the week before the closure, and All the bar-b-ques were open and ready for use by anyone. A bit insane I think.

      I also agree that the NFS should not be opening the forest in the midst of a terrible drought. Dead vegetation, including trees, is only one problem. Thoughtless hikers, especially those not familiar with drought, and its demands on hikers, are problematic in the forest now, especially. I implore the NFS to close the forest until lit is truly safe for humans to be in it.


    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
