Meet Chuck Gibson-Santa Margarita Water Commissioner

For most of us, we don't even think about where our water comes from. As long as we turn on the tap and water comes out, we're happy. But here in Orange County it's not that simple. For with our ever increasing demand and ever endangered imported supply, it's a constant battle to keep our water flowing.

Meet one of the unsung heroes that make that happen, Santa Margarita Water Commissioner Chuck Gibson.  After he retired from being a legislative analyst for the City of Los Angeles for 30 years (trying to analyze state and Federal bills and figure out how they impacted LA and how to state that impact in simple terms for laymen and legislators alike), he moved to Ladera Ranch here in Orange County and found a second act career as a water commissioner in South Orange County.

Hear where our water comes from. How far away we have to go to import it. And how Chuck and others keep finding new ways to save every drop and add to our supply.  Insuring that our most precious and precarious resources keeps flowing in the first of our two part series on how WATER WORKS here in Orange County

Facts and Fears About Covid-19

We already know that this coronavirus (marked COVID-19 for the year it was discovered) is more like it's past cousins SARS and MERS and deadlier than the flu.  And because it's new and has crossed over from animals again, we have no natural immunity to it. But what else do we know about this pandemic (at this point in time).  And what are the real fears if we can't slow it down and "flatten the growth curve" (Hint: Lack of hospital beds and ventilators).  Listen to this great summary with well known "medical missionary" and local speaker on Internal Medicine and Geriatrics and Preventive Health Education, Dr. Trinh from Memorial Care (who also works with Alzheimers-OC and Irvine Clinical Research).  On this very informative episode of OC SPOTLIGHT, here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO.

Non Partisan Citizen's Climate Lobby Brings Both Sides Together Around Urgent Issue

If you think that politics is just too polarized and tribal to even talk anymore (much less tackle the real issues facing us today), then you'll be encouraged by the quiet work of the Citizen's Climate Lobby, a non-partisan group with chapters across the country that is designed to bring all sides together around constructive climate change legislation (like their innovative carbon tax and dividend idea to help us wean ourselves off fossil fuels, using the increasing carbon tax to provide a "carbon dividend" back to ordinary people to help pay for this transition from one energy source to another).  They've even created bi-partisan House and Senate CLIMATE CAUCUSES with members like Democratic Senators Debbie Stabebow and Tammy Baldwin (from Michigan and Wisconsin) along with Republicans Marco Rubio from Florida and Susan Collins from Maine to talk about these issues and consider bi-partisan solutions. Amazing!  Learn more about all that they're doing by tuning into this week's OC SPOTLIGHT here on OC TALK RADIO including their upcoming Southern California Regional Conference Saturday, Feb.21 and Sunday, Feb. 22 at Cal State-LA.  Or visit their site www.citizensclimatelobby.org
