Yorba Linda - In God We Trust
August 25, 2008 by Loren Nason
Filed under City Council
During the last City Council meeting, council members discussed displaying “In God We Trust” in the council chambers. A vote was not cast allowing time to gather data and put out a report for public review.
Some might say this is a violates Seperation of Church and State. I say you are wrong and this is not the City mandating what church you must attend and what God you must believe in. This is just a city displaying what the believe.
Yorba Linda is home to at least 14 churches that I have counted. We are also home to the largest Quaker Church in the world, Friends Church of Yorba Linda
The city council has my vote to approve the display of “In God We Trust” in the City Council Chambers.

Yorba Linda Horse Trail Blocked by Home Owner
August 19, 2008 by Loren Nason
Filed under Horses, Neighbor
A homeowner has blocked of a section of a horse trail in Yorba Linda. This section is only a feeder trail to a main trail but it has angered lots of residents. A protest was even held by horse owners. See video below from Fox.
Some of you might say that this makes for an UN-gracious neighbor in the Land of Gracious Living. From the little bit of research I have done it looks like not everyone has their facts straight.
There was a comment left today on the OC Register’s article about the subject.
It is a shame no one researched this a little better. There was never an easement in the recorded deed. The easement was in the CC&R’S for the houses on the street and then it only granted as an private equestrian easement for the homes on the homeowners side of the street. It was never a pedestrian easement, the homeowners pay property taxes on it and it is part of their lot. The homeowner’s went door to door to everyone included in the CC&R’S explained that they wanted to amend the CC&R’S to do away with the EQUESTRIAN EASEMENT they were able to obtain the majority of homeowners needed to change the CC&R’S. It was amended, and duly recorded with the County recorder. Taking this to the media with half truths is unfair. Because the people complaining the loudest would be the first one to sue if anyone in their families got hurt on that little piece of land.

I did go to the area in question and from my vantage point and looking at the maps this closure of a small feeder trail impacts only a few residents. I understand the residents anger but maybe there is a better way to resolve this problem instead of blowing things out of proportion and holding a protest.
If we get any more information I will post it here. But it seems to be that this issue may be closed and there is nothing more. Move along people nothing to see here.
Another Day Living in Yorba Linda
The Land of Gracious Living
PS. I was shocked this made it to network news. I’m suprised Yorba Linda gets any coverage. But then again the only remember the city name right now because we only had an earthquake that rocked So Cal a few weeks ago.
