The three-bedroom farm house she leased on Gabbert Gabbart (also gab(b)ert, gabart, gaabert, gabbard). c. 17th-18th centuries. A lighter or barge. A small one-masted sailing or coasting vessel. Used mostly for inland navigation, especially on the River Clyde in Scotland. Transported mainly coal and fish (mainly herring). Road north of Moorpark burned to the ground in last October's wildfires. Hollister fled with little more than the clothes she had on and her beloved animals - four horses, a German shepherd German shepherd, breed of large, muscular working dog perfected in Germany at the turn of the 20th cent. It stands about 25 in. (64 cm) high at the shoulder and weighs from 60 to 85 lb (27.2–38.5 kg). , rabbits, birds and a sheep. After months of rebuilding her life - Hollister bought a mobile home and settled again into the Gabbert Road property - she faces a new dislocation dislocation, displacement of a body part, usually a bone.

Regarded as one of the last rustic communities in the city, Gabbert Road is a rural neighborhood on a winding, two-lane road in Moorpark where horse-owning residents live in five-acre parcels. Developer Centex Homes proposes building 36 homes on the 36-acre site where Hollister lives, as well as an additional 78 houses on a 93-acre site at the end of the road, said Dave Bobardt, planning manager for the project. The developer still needs an amendment to local zoning laws to allow higher density lots. A public hearing will likely be held before the City Council early next year on the proposed zoning change. Hollister, who has a long history of community activism, claims she is being singled out by developers for early removal. ``When they have me off the property, this property is going to sit vacant - vacant growing weeds 1. weeds - Refers to development projects or algorithms that have no possible relevance or practical application.
