Support Rally for Joseph Diliberti
Posted 6/1/2010 4:28:00 PM
You may have heard me talking about Joseph Diliberti on the air the last couple of weeks.
Joseph is a retired Marine and a Vietnam veteran, and for years he's been living somewhat off the grid in Dehesa, near Granite Hills and Alpine, among the native chaparral and shrubs of our area.
Unfortunately, not long after the Cedar Fire in 2003, San Diego County embarked upon a controversial program trimming "brush," which in many cases, wound up being the very native vegetation found naturally in San Diego County which doesn't burn with the ferocity as the invasive and introduced grasses and palm trees which have come to adorn area homes and businesses. I've covered this phenomena and the benefits of our native shrubbery in conjunction with Rick Halsey and the California Chaparral Institute on several editions of Treehuggers International.
In 2004, the old-growth chaparral on Joseph Diliberti's property was cut ...
1980 Miracle On Ice
Posted 2/22/2010 5:39:00 PM
Hard to believe, but it's been 30 years since the incredible Miracle On Ice game on February 22, 1980 at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, when the amateur U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the professional, and feared, Soviet hockey team, and went on to win the Gold Medal by defeating Finland two days later.
I remember doing my math homework while watching this on TV with my dad. It really was an amazing moment, and for Generation X'ers, it's really become something of a cultural benchmark. Just look at the cover of Sports Illustrated above: it was the first issue of Sports Illustrated ever issued without a caption or headline. None was needed, the photo by German photographer Heinz Kluetmeier said it all.
Enjoy the clip.
Dickipedia, Seriously
Posted 2/16/2010 6:34:00 PM
It's been a while since I've written a new blog posting, so my apologies if you've been waiting around for something new, old, or borrowed, but this was something which couldn't wait, and unfortunately, something I also couldn't say on the air without breaking several FCC guidelines. Seeing how I've been doing radio professionally for the last two decades and I'm the Public Affairs Director for the cluster of stations FM 94/9 is a part of, I'm expected to know this stuff.
So while I didn't necessarily have an outlet to give out this website's name on the air, I did have a way to pass it along without breaking any FCC rules on the zany, unregulated Wild West of the web. Taste, class, and decency are all called into question here, but those niceties have long been in short supply around the FM 94/9 locker room.
So get ready: it's time you got hip ...
Ian Shive on Treehuggers International
Posted 12/4/2009 3:10:00 PM
The iconic vista of the Teton Range and the Snake River is the cover of Ian Shive's new book.
 Fresh from giving a presentation to lawmakers at the Capitol in Washington D.C. and meeting with newly-confirmed National Park Service chief John Jarvis, conservationist and outdoor photographer Ian Shive talks about his new book The National Parks: Our American Landscape.
After years of assignments and photography work with the National Parks Conservation Association and other environmental entities, Ian's book encapsulates some four years of photography work and travel around the country, along with essays by the NPCA's National Parks editors, who detail their experiences of collaborating with Ian Shive in their Washington offices and in the field.
Ian also talks about his photography technique, the effect of climate change on National Parks and America's special places, the fear-based culture of the outdoors which has grown out of extreme sports and irresponsible media, the work his new multimedia center ...
Treehuggers International: Rick Halsey from the California Chaparral Institute
Posted 9/25/2009 4:10:00 PM
The steep slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains make firefighting doubly exhausting.
This week, wildland firefighter and fire ecologist Rick Halsey returns to Treehuggers International. The founder and director of the Escondido-based California Chaparral Institute, Rick is also a member of the San Diego Regional Fire Safety Forum, and the author of the book Fire, Chaparral, and Survival In Southern California, now in its second edition from Sunbelt Publications.
With major wildfires having blackened scores of acres in the Golden State this year in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Gold Country, Santa Barbara (four times in 12 months), Mendocino County, Sonoma County, Sacramento County, and elsewhere, it seems every season is fire season in California, but few in the Southland were ready for the size and duration of the Station Fire in the San Gabriel Mountains above Altadena, La Cañada Flintridge, and Tujunga. Ultimately the fire set a notorious record, as the largest wildfire ever ...
Treehuggers International: Imminent Closure of 100 State Parks
Posted 9/4/2009 5:06:00 PM
Is it too late to save Montaña de Oro State Park and 100 California State Parks from closure?
Sara Feldman from the California State Paks Foundation stops by Treehuggers International this Sunday morning to talk about the imminent closure of 100 California State Parks.
Even though California State Parks takes up less than one-tenth of one percent of the entire annual state budget, and puts over two dollars back into the local economies of areas around parks for every one dollar of taxpayer money spent on parks, the recent budget crisis and ultimate compromise between Governor Schwarzenegger and the legislature made nearly 50 closures official. An additional six million dollar cut made by the Governor in late July increased the clousres to a full 100, which are due to be named soon.
Along with the financial impact of park closures, Sara also discusses opportunities for joining parks with conservancies, foundations, and nearby ...
In Memoriam: David Rodriguez On Treehuggers International
Posted 8/7/2009 2:18:00 PM
 This week Treehuggers International presents a special, encore presentation of our interview with David Rodriguez, who died of complications from diabetes on July 1st in Washington D.C., where he'd been serving as the Director of Communications and External Affairs for the National American Indian Housing Council. At the time of his appearance on Treehuggers International, David was in his sixth year at the Urban Corps of San Diego, where he was the Director of Administration and Grant Development.
David's appearance on Treehuggers International was first broadcast March 9, 2008.
A fan of FM 94/9, David grew up in the San Diego County outdoors, learning to appreciate, value, and protect the environment, and he ably brought his knack for community organization and stewardship together with his passion for the environment at the Urban Corps of San Diego, which continues work at Chollas Creek, long a project of David's, who also served as the Political Director ...
