Our beautiful backcountry:<\/strong> My fellow county supervisors recently joined me in voting to add 175 acres of wilderness to the Santa Ysabel preserve, opening up more land to the public and linking key parts of the preserve.<\/p>\n

The acquisition may also allow us to expand the San Dieguito River Park\u2019s Coast to Crest Trail. The 175 acres is west of state Route 79 and north of the intersection of routes 79 and 78.<\/p>\n

This is great news for hikers, horse enthusiasts and others who enjoy our gorgeous backcountry.<\/p>\n

Beefing up fire protection<\/strong>: The county Fire Authority recently opened a new fire station in Boulevard, our latest effort to improve fire protection and emergency medical services in rural East County.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first station to house Fire Authority reserves, Cal Fire firefighters and a paramedic unit under one roof.<\/p>\n

The facility is the latest sign of how far we\u2019ve come since the disastrous firestorms of 2003 and 2007. In 2003, our efforts to fight the Cedar Fire and other catastrophic wildfires were hampered by poor communication and coordination among agencies, along with a lack of resources.<\/p>\n

Since then, the county has invested more than $320 million on fire protection improvements.<\/p>\n

Care for our elderly<\/strong>: I had the privilege of speaking to hundreds of local seniors at the Vital Aging conference hosted by the county on June 16.<\/p>\n

The theme, \u201cBoosting Your Brainpower,\u201d grew out of the work of The Alzheimer\u2019s Project, the county-led initiative launched last year to address the toll of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other forms of dementia on families and communities.<\/p>\n

Many speakers and exhibits at the conference focused on how exercise, good nutrition and activities can help seniors keep their mind, memory and mood in good shape.<\/p>\n
