Nobody knows better than America's farmers and ranchers how important natural resources are. Without proper stewardship of the land, their livelihood wouldn't exist; nor would most Americans have the cornucopia of meat and vegetables we've grown used to.

Yet, as America's rural citizens face pressure from government bureaucrats to stop grazing their animals or severely restrict their water usage -- or to simply go away -- most urban dwellers remain oblivious due to an almost universal black-out of news coverage.

That's where Tim Findley comes into the picture.

Findley knows journalism and isn't afraid to use it. He is a 25-year veteran of the media industry who wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle -- he broke the stories on Patty Hearst while working there. Rolling Stone, UPI, KPIX-TV and KGO-TV also grace his resume. Now he's covering issues dear to America's rural people as a mainstay writer for Range Magazine.

Findley, in addition to his many articles outlining predicaments of ranchers and farmers, has helped to unveil some of the more intriguing political and economic trends that face us today.

Saturday March 4th, at noon KSCO 1080 www.ksco.com The County Board of Supervisors is making major changes to county ordinances. These changes would disallow the inclusion of land area with slopes over a certain % grade, wet areas, and more, in determining the size of your lot. Many existing homes will become "non-conforming" which means that remodel, expansion or rebuilding in the event of fire or flood loss may be prohibited. Local architect, Cove Britton and Rose Marie McNair are guests on Perspectives KSCO Radio with Michael Shaw. Also hear from Lorraine Wallace (http://www.limiteminentdomain.com) who will discuss the petition drive to change the California Constitution by prohibiting the abuse of eminent domain when used for private gain.
