Topanga Kid Bakes Up Sweet Goodness
May 2, 2013 - By Kateri Wozny
Lucy Babcock is a child who is as sweet as they come. Literally.
As a second-grader at Calabash Charter Academy, the 7-year-old has a unique talent that turned into a business venture: baking cupcakes.

Lovers of the Santa Monica Mountains soon will have 612 acres of new reasons to cherish the wilderness expanse at the edge of one of the world’s largest cities.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors this week approved two major acquisitions by the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority totaling 612 acres, including a vast expanse of land on the south face of the distinctive peak known as Ladyface Mountain.

When All Else Fails . . . Amateur Radio Works!
• Imagine if you desperately needed to call for help but suddenly lost your voice.
• What if it wasn’t just your voice but your ability to communicate?
• What if the same problem was affecting ten thousand, or a hundred thousand, or more?
• At some point our standard means of communications (cell phone, landline, and Internet) will likely fail.
• It could be as catastrophic as Hurricane Sandy or the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in Northeast Japan; a cyber-attack on the phone company computers; or as simple as vandals cutting the fiber optic cables (as happened in Santa Cruz / San Jose).

Remember the Mexico City 1985 earthquake that registered 8.1 on the Richter scale killing more than 10,000 people and injuring 30,000? At that time, Mexico City had no emergency response-training program for citizens, but credited 800 volunteers who organized themselves to perform light search and rescue operations. They recorded 800 successful rescues, unfortunately 100 of these untrained volunteers died during the 15-day rescue operation.

safe practices for working and recreating outdoors during different fire danger levels.
The Rodeo Grounds across Pacific Coast Highway was known to locals as Topanga's "Snake Pit," which was named both for its abundance of rattlesnakes and for the dubious characters who passed through like Charles Manson. In 2001, Lower Topanga was sold to California State Parks and relocated the residents living in the Rodeo Grounds.
