June 13, 2006
It has been six months since Rhianna Woolsey died (December 7, 2005) in the first traffic fatality in Coto de Caza in the last ten years. Sadly, this week also marks the Three Month Anniversary of Mr. Morteza Manian’s death, as he was struck by a teen age female, while he was riding his bicycle southbound on Lexington Way approaching the intersection of North Hampton Place. Mr. Manian was transported to Mission Regional Hospital, and succumbed to his injuries in the late hours of 3/12/2006. The teen driver was eventually arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter, felony hit and run and resisting and delaying or obstructing an officer.
What is even more tragic however is that public safety continues to be Coto de Caza’s Tar Bay, as evidenced by the proceedings of the First 2006-2007 Coto de Caza Board of Directors meeting – where the board president is readily willing to assign a board member to work on the sport’s park issue, but silent with regards to public safety.
For a dramatic display of the Coto de Caza board of director’s priorities, simply visit the association’s web site at www.czmaster.org - you can find the usual suspects, but conspicuously absent is any mention of a Public Safety Committee! – Not to mention that all Coto de Caza roads, with the exception of CDC drive, are not traffic patrol worthy, since he property manager conveniently “forgot” to re-certify, allegedly, because of a missing tickler file!

Coto Dreamin'
We value the US Constitution, freedom, democracy, transparency, social capital, diversity, personal accountability and tolerance (tolerance, not acceptance) . We do not believe the Constitution should be turned On/Off at the gates or at the whim of the board or service providers, as if it was just another Coto transponder.
We do not make jokes, we simply watch the Coto de Caza Board of directors, the LA Trash and the Orange Crud Repository and report the facts
