Thanks for everyone who showed up tonight to speak about keeping Fairview a nature park and protecting her cultural resources! The majority of everyone who was there was for keeping it a nature park. However, after a recess when most of the participants went home, the meeting continued on with a presentation by archaeologist Patrick Maxon and Joyce Perry. The presenters along with the Native-American tribes and individuals in attendance agreed that in situ preservation was recommended. This is the right thing to do and the only option we support. Unfortunately, the same city that has been violating all kinds of rules regarding the protection of biological and cultural resources of the most loved park in Costa Mesa announced they hired SRS to investigate the archaeology of Fairview Park. None of the good archaeologists or Native-American representatives in attendance had anything good to say about that decision. This is just another poor reflection of the decisions being made by the city of Costa Mesa: Newsletter link about SRS: bolsachicalandtrust.org/NewsletterSpring-2012.pdf Blog link about SRS: surfcityvoice.org/2010/06/free-the-bolsa-chica-mesa-now-not-likely-but-theres-always-purposeful-grading/
