Will C. Wood High School

Will C. Wood High School is a high school in the Vacaville Unified School District located in Vacaville, California, serving the south side of the city and the unincorporated community of Elmira. First opening its doors in September 1969, it was a middle school until the 1988–1989 school year. That was when the conversion to a high school began and had its first graduating class in 1992. The school has seen two major improvement projects, based on funding from Measure V passed in 2003, improving physical education facilities and adding the science wing, and Measure A passed in 2014, which finally gave Will C. Wood their own stadium. School history Will C. Wood first opened its doors in September 1969. At that time it was planned to be Vacaville's second comprehensive high school. Growth was not as fast as anticipated and plans were modified. From 1969 to 1973 Will C. Wood was a satellite campus for Vacaville High School. Ninth and tenth grades for science and math and all classes for ninth graders were two combinations that were used. In the fall of 1974, Wood became a junior high school (grades 7 - 9) servicing the south side of Vacaville while Willis Jepson Junior High School serviced the north side of Vacaville. Wood remained in this format until the 1988–1989 school year. A new intermediate school, Vaca Pena Middle School, was built on the south side of Vacaville. Seventh graders went to Vaca Pena rather than to Wood. In 1988 Wood began its transition into a four-year high school. That year Wood had 8th, 9th, and 10th graders. Construction was started to complete Wood as a high school. A new gymnasium, locker room, classroom wing, office complex, cafeteria, and theater were added. Each year a new class was added. The 1991–1992 school year was the first year that Will C. Wood was a complete four year high school. However, the facility was never completed. The class of 1992 was its first graduating class. In 2012 Will C Wood celebrated its first 20 years of graduates.

Fairfield High School (California)

Fairfield High School is a public secondary school located in Fairfield, California, United States. It is one of the three high schools in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, the other two being Armijo High School and Angelo Rodriguez High School. The school has about 1,610 students in grades 9 to 12 in north-central Fairfield. History On May 20, 2026, a 16-year-old student of the school was arrested after a confrontation with other students on campus. The family of the student filed a claim against the city of Fairfield with a local civil rights firm after video showed the arresting Fairfield police officer repeatedly striking the student in the head after being brought to the ground and as he attempted to shield his face with his hands. The student's attorneys said that the confrontation with the other students was verbal, and did not escalate into a physical confrontation. The attorneys also say that the student suffered a concussion as a result of the incident. The Fairfield Police Department released body cam footage of the incident which showed the student attempting to evade officers' attempts to restrain him, before being restrained by a school resource officer. The Fairfield police officer then appeared to grab the student and throw him to the ground and strike him repeatedly in the head while pulling his hair before handcuffing him. The Fairfield Police Department said that the hits were "distraction strikes". The involved officer was administratively reassigned following the incident. 2026 shooting On June 3, 2026, a 18-year-old Jamario Baker, who had just graduated, was killed and three others, including his 11-year-old sister, were injured in a shooting in the parking lot of Fairfield High School after the conclusion of a graduation ceremony for Sem Yeto High School. Sam Yeto High School is a continuation school and shares a campus with Fairfield High School. Fairfield mayor Catherine Moy said that her heart was "breaking for the students and families involved" and that "the shooter will face justice". On July 10, a 17-year-old suspect was taken into custody without incident at a home in the Dallas–Fort Worth area by the US Marshals Service and Fairfield Police Department detectives. The suspect was charged with murder among other offenses and is expected to be extradited to Solano County. Notable alumni Kevin S. Tenney (1973), producer, director, writer John F.

Bard Lake

Bard Lake, also known as Wood Ranch Reservoir, is a 231-acre (93 ha) reservoir which is the largest lake in Simi Valley, California. It is east of the intersection of Olsen Road and Moorpark Freeway, near the border between Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. Built in 1965, Bard Lake is 416 feet (127 m) high with a capacity of 11,000 acre-feet (3.6×109 US gal). It is an earthen dam which is owned by the Calleguas Water District. Although the lake is fenced, there are numerous hiking trails in the area. Sunset Hills Open Space is a 410-acre (170 ha) adjacent preserve with hiking trails. Known for its rich avifauna, some of the bird species found here include White-tailed kites, Northern harriers, Anna's hummingbirds and Red-tailed hawks. Other fauna include rabbits, coyotes, cougars, bobcats, roadrunners, quail and turkey vultures. Nearby Sinaloa Lake is situated below Bard Lake in an adjacent part of the same watershed. References
Bethany Reservoir

Bethany Reservoir is located 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Livermore, in the northeastern corner of Alameda County, California, USA. It is the northern most part of the California Aqueduct, and receives water pumped by the Banks Pumping Plant from Clifton Court Forebay, which in turn receives waters pumped from the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta. It serves as the forebay for the South Bay Pumping Plant that feeds the South Bay Aqueduct and the main branch of the California Aqueduct which flows south along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley approximately 60 miles (97 km) to the O'Neill Forebay at the San Luis Reservoir. Characteristics Gross capacity: 5,250 acre-feet (6,480,000 m3) History Bethany Reservoir was built between 1961 and 1967. A 110 foot tall earthen embankment was constructed. The reservoir is the starting point of the 444 mile, north-south California Aqueduct of the State Water Project. The Bethany Reservoir is the planned terminus of the Delta Conveyance Project. The reservoir is named after Bethany, a town and ferry in San Joaquin County, which was probably named for the ancient town of Bethany in the State of Palestine. The town of Bethany was originally Mohr Station, named for John Mohr who sold the site to the Southern Pacific Railroad. Because it was confused with a Moore's Station, the name was changed. Ecology A 1986 survey for the federally endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties found the area around Bethany Reservoir to be the northernmost remaining range for the species. The smallest of the kit fox family, San Joaquin kit fox in this northern part of their range were noted to feed primarily on California ground squirrels (Otospermophilus beecheyi). Extirpation of the San Joaquin kit fox from even more northern Contra Costa County is thought due to poisoning of ground squirrels and depredation by red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and coyote (Canis latrans). Mesopredators of kit foxes, red fox and coyote populations were released by extirpation of gray wolves (Canis lupus) from most of California. However a 2003 survey using dogs and aerial surveillance found no remaining San Joaquin kit fox in Contra Costa or Alameda Counties. Recreation Bethany Reservoir State Recreation Area surrounds Bethany Reservoir and is a popular place for water-oriented recreation, especially fishing and windsurfing. It also features a bike trail (along the California Aqueduct Bikeway). See also List of dams and reservoirs in California List of lakes in California References External links Bethany Reservoir

Cypress Street Schoolhouse

The Cypress Street Schoolhouse, also known simply as Cypress Schoolhouse, is a historic former elementary school building in Orange, California built in 1931. It is a one story structure built in classic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with stucco walls and a clay tile roof. The building hosted educational classes ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade. It is one of the last remaining public school buildings in Southern California that was used as a segregated school for Mexican American students. The school officially closed in 1944, just three years shy of the landmark California Supreme Court decision Mendez, et al v. Westminster School District which desegregated public schools in California. The school house is owned by Chapman University. Cypress Street Schoolhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 2015. References

Lake Thomas A Edison

Lake Thomas A Edison (also known as Thomas A. Edison Lake and Edison Lake) is a reservoir in the Sierra National Forest and in Fresno County, California. It is in the Sierra Nevada, and near the Pacific Crest Trail. The reservoir's waters are impounded by Vermilion Valley Dam (National ID CA00441), which was completed in 1954 (1954). The reservoir and dam are part of the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project. Hydrology The reservoir discharges into Mono Creek, a tributary of the South Fork San Joaquin River. However, some of its water is diverted to Huntington Lake by means of the Ward Tunnel. Vermilion Valley Dam Vermilion Valley Dam is an earthen dam 4,234 feet (1,291 m) long and 167 feet (51 m) high, with 8 feet (2.4 m) of freeboard. Southern California Edison owns the dam. Recreation Located in Sierra National Forest near the Pacific Crest Trail, Lake Thomas A Edison is the centerpiece of Vermilion Valley Resort and Vermillion Campground, which support boating, camping, fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and horseback riding. Access The lake is three hours away by car from Fresno. Take State Route 168 east to Huntington Lake, head east on Kaiser Pass Road. The road crosses Kaiser Pass (elevation 9,175 feet (2,797 m)) and closes during the winter months. The United States Forest Service does not recommend it for buses, large motor homes, or vehicles towing trailers. A ferry crosses the lake twice a day (Inactive in 2021 due to extreme low levels of water - travel service to/from the trailhead can be arranged through Vermillion Valley Resort or hikers may follow a trail along the north side of the lake for trail access), linking Vermilion Valley Resort with the John Muir Wilderness trailhead and providing access to and from the John Muir Trail and Pacific Crest Trail. Nomenclature The lake was named after American inventor Thomas Edison to mark the 75th anniversary of his invention of the incandescent light bulb. The dam was named after the valley it flooded, noted for its reddish soil. See also List of dams and reservoirs in California List of lakes in California References External links Lake Thomas A.

World's Tallest Thermometer

The World's Tallest Thermometer is a landmark in Baker, California, US. It is a steel electric sign that commemorates the weather record of 134 °F (57 °C) recorded in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913. The sign weighs 76,812 pounds (34,841 kg; 34.841 t) and is held together by 125 cubic yards (96 m3) of concrete. It stands 134 feet (41 m) tall and is capable of displaying a maximum temperature of 134 °F (57 °C; 330 K), both of which are a reference to the temperature record. History It was built in 1991 by the Young Electric Sign Company of Salt Lake City, Utah for Willis Herron, a Baker businessman who spent US$700,000 (equivalent to $1,655,000 in 2025) to build the thermometer next to his Bun Boy restaurant. Its height—134 feet—was in honor of the 134-degree record temperature set in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913. The thermometer is electric and registers temperatures using an outside source. The thermometer displays temperatures in 10 degree increments. Soon after its construction, 70 mph (110 km/h; 31 m/s) winds snapped the thermometer in half, and it was rebuilt. Two years later, severe gusts made the thermometer sway so much that its light bulbs popped out. Concrete was then poured inside the steel core to reinforce the monument. Herron sold the attraction and restaurant to another local businessman in 2003, Larry Dabour, who sold it in 2005. In September 2012, the owner at that time, Matt Pike, said that the power bill for its operation had reached US$8,000 per month (equivalent to $11,000 in 2025) and that he turned it off due to the poor economy. In 2013, the thermometer and accompanying empty gift shop were listed for sale. The family of Willis Herron (who died in 2007) recovered ownership of the property in 2014 and stated their intention to make it operational again. The renovation was funded with sweat equity and a contribution from the owner's mother of US$150,000 (equivalent to $207,000 in 2025). The original light bulbs were replaced with LED lights and the official re-lighting took place on July 10, 2014. In July 2016 the thermometer was featured in a series of promotional events held by Google to celebrate new features added to Google Maps. Visitors were able to try "the world’s coldest coffee" as part of the promotion. In December 2016, EVgo announced building the first US fast charge station for electric vehicles at up to 350 kW. The station is located in the thermometer parking area. References External links Official website Roadside America
