The cause of the fire CONFLAGRATION—Firefighters battle the Woolsey blaze in Oak Park during the early hours of Nov. 9. recorded the outage just after remains unknown, the company said. “There is no doubt these dev- astating wildfires are impacting all Californians. As a state, we need to focus on addressing climate change impacts, including these severe weather-driven wildfires, prolonged drought conditions and the buildup of hazardous fuels,” SCE said in a statement. “All of these issues impact communities and their critical in- frastructure providers, including utilities. SCE believes the state can do more . for the often- tragic consequences of wildfires.” Just last month, the power company accepted partial blame in the 2017 Thomas fire. SCE said in October that its equipment could have been “as- sociated with” the ignition of the Thomas fire, which consumed large swaths of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. In response to a growing state- wide debate over whether utilities should be held financially respon- sible when their lines cause fires, the company recently introduced a public safety power-shutoff program that stops the flow of electricity to certain areas when weather conditions are conducive to fire. Simi Valley Mayor-elect Keith Mashburn, a retired Ventura County Fire Department battal- ion chief and fire inspector, said Ventura County has won multiple cases against utility companies in the past for fires started by faulty utility equipment. “There are regulations, and they need to be followed (by the utility companies). If they were followed correctly all the time, we would have a much-reduced chance of ignition from the power lines,” Mashburn said. Utility companies are highly regulated. While they are not liable for accidental equipment breakdown, the power companies are responsible to maintain their facilities and could be held liable if they are left unattended, Mash- burn said. He said a fallen power line, 46ATMSC315S one possibly struck by a tree, could have been the cause of the Nov. 9 power interruption at the Simi field lab. “It will take an investigator to determine what failed, and that’s very difficult,” Mashburn said. But it’s too early to know. Sylvie Belmond contributed to this story. Exercise your First Amendment rights!

  • PTR STRS Site Bull
    National Park Service Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area PETER STRAUSS RANCH his enchanting oak woodland has long been a source of dreams, visions, and mem- ories. Inhabited for thousands of years by the Chumash people, this area became T part of Rancho Las Virgenes after Spanish colonization. The original coast live oak, used as the marker in the 1881 land grant survey, still stands just west of the swim- ming pool. The upside-down letter “T”is still evident in the bark. The “vision of enchantment” continues at this site today with hiking, concerts, picnics, and art exhibits. Explore this peaceful refuge and create some memories of your own. Dreams- At the turn of the century, Harry Miller purchased the ranch as a weekend retreat from his residence and automobile factory in Los Angeles. His patented master carburetor and “Miller Specials,”featured at Indianapolis 500 car races, brought him fame. In 1926, Harry built many structures including the stone ranch house, the “look out tower” and the aviary. The Depression and his attempt at aircraft-engine develop- ment resulted in financial ruin, the loss of the ranch and an end to his dreams. Visions- In the mid 1930’s,Warren Shobert and Arthur Edeson purchased the ranch, transforming the place into “Shoson”- a fairyland of charm and a paradise for children and adults. Later, a dam was constructed on Triunfo Creek, creating a small lake. The resort was renamed “Lake Enchanto.” Competition from other, larger amusement parks and resorts led to the decline of “Lake Enchanto.” It fell into disrepair and closed around 1960.
