Bradbury Dam

Bradbury Dam is an earthen dam across the Santa Ynez River in central Santa Barbara County, California. The dam forms Lake Cachuma, which provides the majority of water supplies within the county. Although the Santa Ynez can reach massive flows in the winter, it usually dries up for several months of the year in the summer. A large storage facility to catch winter floodwaters for use in the summer and autumn was desperately needed by the growing population of the region, especially that of south coast cities like Santa Barbara and Carpinteria. Even before Bradbury Dam was considered, the Gibraltar Dam was built upstream to divert water through a tunnel to the city of Santa Barbara. However, that dam was plagued by siltation and was unable to fully serve the water requirements of the city. Construction on Bradbury Dam started in 1950 as part of a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation scheme called the Cachuma Project, intended to provide long-term water storage and delivery to Santa Barbara and other cities throughout the region as well as provide water for irrigation. Originally named the Cachuma Dam upon completion in 1953, the name was changed in 1971 to honor C. W. "Brad" Bradbury, a local water supply proponent.

Potrero del Sol Park

Potrero del Sol Park, San Francisco Potrero del Sol Park, formally known as “La Raza Park,” is an urban park located at the intersection of Potrero Avenue and 25th St in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District within San Francisco’s Mission District. The 4.5 acre park houses San Francisco’s largest skate park, a large event and performance space, and a community garden. Potrero del Sol Park hosts Phono del Sol music festival, organized by Noise Pop, every June and the Día de los Muertos Festival of Altars every November. History In 1974, Jack Wickert and Bonnie Sherk, along with many artists and community activists, converted an abandoned former milk factory into a model farm and environmental school for children. The farm eventually grew to house 70 farm animals and held an event space for art shows, festivals, and youth gatherings. This farm was lost in a legal battle with landlords in 1987 but the community garden, one of the largest in the city, still remains on the grounds. In the late-1970s and early-1980s, the park was known locally as “La Raza Park,” and was central to local youth gatherings and lowrider culture. The park was modeled after People’s Park in Berkeley. On July 2, 2008, local professional skateboarder Jake Phelps and then mayor Gavin Newsom cut the ribbon Potrero del Sol Park's skate park, the largest in the city.

Braille Institute of America

Das Braille Institute of America ist eine gemeinnützige Organisation mit Hauptsitz in Los Angeles, Kalifornien, USA, die Programme, Seminare und Einzelunterricht für Sehbehinderte in Südkalifornien anbietet.

Robert Atkinson gegründet, einem Cowboy aus Montana, der 1912 erblindete und daraufhin 250 Bücher, die ihm von seiner Familie diktiert wurden, in Brailleschrift transkribierte. Beeindruckt von seinen Bemühungen erhielt er Spenden, die ihm 1919 die Gründung der Universal Braille Press ermöglichten, aus der das Braille Institute of America hervorging. Hier stellte Atkinson 1924 den Druck der King-James-Bibel in Brailleschrift fertig. Mit Atkinson Hyperlegible hat die Organisation eine freie, für Menschen mit teilweiser Sehbehinderung optimierte Schriftart herausgeben. Weblinks Homepage.

Gandara Park

Gandara Park is a 3.8 acre residential park located in Santa Monica, California, United States. Originally named Stewart Street Park, in 2016 the park was renamed to honor Joe Gandara, a local resident who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama for his actions during World War II. History Prior to the park's creation, the land was used as a clay mine. After the clay mine was abandoned, the City of Santa Monica elected to use the space as a landfill for construction debris. In 1975, the landfill was converted to a park for nearby residents. From 1975 to 2016, the park was named Stewart Street Park after the street that abuts the park. Stewart Street, in turn, was named after either William Morris Stewart, a U.S. senator with substantial business ties to the silver industry in California, or Edwin Stewart, a local businessman and politician. In 2014, the City asked for resident input regarding the name for a nearby park (Ishihara Park) and also received comments regarding renaming Stewart Street. Among other names, local residents proposed that Stewart Street Park be renamed to honor Private Joe Gandara, a local resident who had died during World War II. President Barack Obama had recently awarded Gandara the Medal of Honor posthumously as Gandara's contributions had previously been overlooked due to his Hispanic heritage. The proposal to rename the park was approved in 2016 and the park was officially renamed in February 2017, alongside the opening of Ishihara Park. Facilities In addition to a broad, sloping field, Gandara Park includes a playground, basketball court, youth baseball field, and a concession stand that is used for storage. During many summers, Gandara Park hosts "Jazz on the Lawn", a collection of musical acts and food offerings. References External links Official Website

Designated as a state park in 1993 by California, with the agreement of elderly members of the native tribe, the land encompassing Tomo-Kahni was a settlement established by the Kawaiisu people. The area was not short of resources, making it a fine place to settle for the Kawaiisu. The park is home to many rock art artifacts by the native tribe that lived there. Utilized to protect the people from winter weather, the settlement's name comes from the language of the Kawaiisu, meaning "winter home".
