The fate of Fullerton’s West Coyote Hills rests in the hands of the city’s voters this November with Measure W, a ballot initiative that, if voted down, repeals an agreement between the city and a subsidiary of Chevron to develop there. A Fullerton-based group called Friends of Coyote Hills gathered over 10,000 signatures in 2011 to cre- ate the referendum, said Angela Lindstrom, the group’s board member at-large. “Our organization’s mission is the protection of all 510 acres of West Coyote Hills as a nature park and preserve for now and the future,” Lindstrom said. “We aim to do this by purchasing the land with public and private funding and donations.” The Fullerton city council adopted the ordinances in July 2011 in an agreement between the city and Pacific Coast Homes, a subsidiary of Chevron, for the development of the West Coyote Hills project.

COYOTE: Activists fight to preserve property DTBRIEFS Surfer killed in shark attack

A surfer was killed in a shark attack off the coast of Santa Barbara near Surf Beach Tuesday morning, according to KTLA. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department identified the man as 39-year-old Francisco Javier Solorio. The shark attack was witnessed by Solorio’s friend who pulled him West Coyote Hills out of the water, while another surfer called paramedics. Solorio was pronounced dead when paramedics from Vandenberg Air Force Base arrived at the scene. Solorio was bitten in the upper torso area. Officials are investigating the type of shark that killed the surfer. Surf Beach is closed until further notice. Santa Barbara and Vandenberg officials will determine when the beach will reopen once the investigation is complete. Death by shark attack is rare. According to the Pew Map courtesy of Google Environment Group, an average of 65 shark attacks occur each year, typically only resulting in two FOR THE RECORD or three deaths.
