The Dana Hills Football Team were out canvassing neighborhoods for sponsorships for the lift-a-thon after practice last night. With budget cuts for education in the State of California now more than ever atheletes must raise money to be able to play sports. Please be generous, or at least kind when they ask you for a donation.
Come out and watch the lift-a thon, young men lifting weighs for funds for the team.

Laguna Canyon Flood images- cleanup of mud, debris and what now?
Dig in and work.
The animal shelter appears devastated. No dogs or cats died in the flood, but they were actually swimming. Temporary quarters are being arranged and they are in need of donations of blankets, dog beds and toys. Call me if you can’t deliver I will pick up and drop off.
The marine Mammal center looks worse.
The best solution I can recommend is major fundraising to rebuild these structures on concrete piers, assuming another flood will happen in ten years. There are several contributing factors to the long term mess: 1. A variety of individuals and municipalities own the land and creek 2. It is a natural flood basin 3.Building of the 73 highway did not accommodate large enough catch basins for runoff and actually cause more spillage over the sides 4. Water goes where it wants to go.
Back of kennels- debris has been scraped.

Save the Birds in the Gulf BP
An oil spill that will murder mammals, birds and our economy thanks Tony Hayward.
Don't listen to Cramer, Short BP.
I contacted BP to connect them with personal contact who is a volunteer (Pat Smith) and wild bird rescue expert at the Seabird Sanctuary in Tampa. I suggested to the BP Emergency Team they get a news reporter to go interview her or the vet or ornithologists there. BP could post the instructions on their website. This center is run only by volunteers and is the largest in the Gulf. They do not have facilities large enough for a disaster such as this, but the public could help.
Information can be disseminated about how residents should collect the birds therefore the survival ratios will be higher. I imagine persons living in coastal communities in the Gulf could gather plastic baby pools and follow instructions to gather birds which will be covered in oil. Keeping the birds calm is the most important.
Shock and Stress kill wild birds. Some oiled birds will be sick from toxic effects of ingesting oil, or by exhaustion/starvation. It is important to keep the birds calm and not get deydrated. The bird should not be restrained or prevented from biting by binding its wings, legs, or beak.
A diluted one percent solution of Dawn dishwashing liquid is used to remove oil, but the process of cleaning a wild bird can also kill the bird from the stress.
Donations for food, medicine and care of the wild birds is urgently needed please contact:

Twenty years later ( 1989) Prince William Sound Council is still tracking the health results of this disaster.
