	Those California cut-ups (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Today we raise a glass to the people of California who are so upset with their government that they want to tear it apart, break it down and rebuild it anew.
		California has never been regarded by the rest of the country as a citadel of stability.
		For example, back in 2002, a county supervisor from the north had the temerity to agree with her colleagues from the south on a couple of volatile local issues -- offshore oil drilling and a condemnation of the Boy Scouts for its stance against homosexuals.

	Welcome to Riverside County, California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Although the county marks its political beginnings in 1893, the land was occupied long before Europeans and their descendants entered the areas, by several Native American groups including the Serranos, the Luisenos, the Cupenos, the Chemehuevi, and the Cahuillas.
		The missions and their lands were secularized beginning in 1834 and the land was transferred as "grants" to Californians who were citizens of Mexico.
		The County's early years were linked to the agriculture industry...but commerce, construction, manufacturing, transportation, and tourism soon took hold...contributing substantially to the region's rapid growth.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mission Indians (Of California)
		The historic California missions were twenty-one in number, excluding branch foundations, extending along the coast or at a short distance inland from San Diego in the south, to Sonoma, beyond San Francisco Bay, in the north.
		This is the first stock within the mission area which extended beyond the limits of California, the cognate tribes within the state being an outpost of the same great linguistic group which includes the Piute, Ute, Comanche, and Pima of the United States, the Yaqui, Tarumari, and famous Aztec of Mexico.
		The confiscation of the missions and the subsequent influx of the gold-hunters doomed the race to extinction.

		Santa Barbara County secession opponents argue that a breakup would create financial problems and lead to cutbacks in services, higher taxes and limited political clout in state government.
		Supporters counter that the county government favors the south and that a new county would be better for development and be more efficient.
		The breakup effort began in 2002 after major landowners and agribusiness interests failed to recall a county supervisor who sided with colleagues from the south to oppose offshore oil drilling and to condemn the Boy Scouts for its stance against homosexuals -- liberal positions that didn't sit well in the north.

		Further developments in Riverside County included Banning and Beaumont in the San Gorgonio Pass; Hemet south of San Jacinto; Moreno Valley east of Riverside; Perris, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta and Temecula along the California Southern Railroad; Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indio and Coachella along the Southern Pacific route to Yuma; and Blythe on the Colorado River.

	Wine Column - Santa Maria Times May 1, 2002
		I understand there are definite pros and cons to splitting the county, but the current effort is destined to go down in flames big time.
		My sense is that the split is ego driven-that some self-proclaimed powers-that-be here in the north don't agree with current land use policies imposed by the county mothers and fathers in the south.
		To quote Alexis Bespaloff in the Frank Schoonmaker "Encyclopedia of Wine," "Mission was the first of the European vinifera vines to reach California." The grape was brought into California in the last half of the eighteenth century by the Franciscan monks and planted around the missions.
