This is a public service announcement and I have reported it at the request of one of the landholders residing in our sacred canyon.

A friend recently had her window smashed in while she soaked in Matilija's hotsprings and was told by police officers that there has been an epedemic of this kind of crime thruout the Ojai Valley including the Athletic Club on Fox and trailheads. On a more serious note, it was reported to me by eye witnesses (2 separate incidents that I am aware of) that unidentified young men have been throwing large rocks into the springs while people are soaking in them. Large enough for them to consider it 'attempted murder'. The latest 'rock throwing' incident occurred last Sunday night around 6 PM and horrified a young mother, father and their 2 and a half year old daughter. They escaped unscathed.
