- Daily News MAN'S APPEAL IS TURNED DOWN THOUSAND OAKS - Jim Shaddix says he's a victim of Ventura County red tape. Shaddix was never notified by the county Fire Protection District to cut down long weeds on his vacant lot because the notices were all sent to the previous owner. Under weed abatement laws, the fire district had the lot cleaned up and Shaddix got a bill for $1,173.10 - $380.60 for abatement, $157.50 for hauling and a $635 fine. This week, Shaddix appealed his case to the Board of Supervisors, only to learn from surprise witness James Dodd, the assistant assessor, that it takes at least five months to log a property title transfer into the computer system used by the fire district to determine where weed abatement notices should be sent. The supervisors determined that the county did nothing wrong and that Shaddix should take up the matter with the seller of the property. ``It's pure hogwash hog·wash n. 1. Worthless, false, or ridiculous speech or writing; nonsense. 2. Garbage fed to hogs; swill. hogwash Noun Informal nonsense Noun 1. - this excuse of it taking five months to update their computer,'' Shaddix said. ``If the county doesn't have enough people up there, I pay taxes and I say hire more people.'' Shaddix believes the fire district should have called a title company when three notices to clean up the 9,140-square-foot vacant lot went unanswered. - Associated Press SUNFLOWER SEEDS PROVE COSTLY CAMARILLO - Ex-smoker Michael Nelson's new habit of munching sunflower seeds can be costly.
