We received the following notice from Ed Orre, Assistant Forest Manager of Soquel Demonstration State Forest:
As many of you know, the parking lot for Soquel Demonstration State Forest and about 0.5 miles of the top of Hihn's Mill Road is located on land owned by Roger Burch and managed by Redwood Empire Sawmills.
Redwood Empire is currently logging the Burch property in this area. You probably saw some of their loggers camped in the parking lot. I'm not sure how long their operation will last but it could be several more months. Our parking lot is their log landing. We were just advised that they plan to work along Hihn's Mill Road for the next few days. They will be falling timber along the road and yarding (dragging) logs to the nearest landing. This means that .....
Hihn's Mill Road through their property will be closed until further notice.
This includes the bridge, parking lot and about 0.5 miles of road.

VANDEMAN, Michael J., a White non-affiliated male, 67 years of age.
On Friday, May 28, 2010 UCPD received a report of an assault with a deadly weapon which had occurred around 6 weeks earlier. The assault occurred on a Sunday on the East-West Fire Trail located in the hills above campus. The victims, two non-affiliated White males, reported the crime after hearing of similar incidents occurring to bicyclists on the fire trail. The victims were riding their bicycles westbound on the trail when they encountered the suspect walking in the opposite direction. The suspect was holding a handsaw and cut one of the victims across the chest with the saw. The victims asked the suspect why he had attacked them. He told them they should not be riding their bicycles on the trail. The victims positively identified the suspect from a photograph. UCPD contacted the suspect who admitted to holding a saw in front of some bicyclists on a trail and contacting one of them with the saw. The suspect was subsequently taken into custody. One of the victims suffered minor injuries during the assault. Additional charges may be filed from similar incidences on the fire trail including one reported in a crime alert on May 6, 2010.
Berkely Crime Alerts
Please contact the UCPD if you have had an incident involving Mike Vandeman. Other victims have been coming forward, and it looks like the case against him is getting stronger.
Case #10-01964, Officer Garlick, "If you have a question about a particular case, you may call the UCPD business line at 510-642-6760 and make your request to Records who will then let you know if that information can be made public."
