Skinner Reservoir

Das Skinner Reservoir (auch Lake Skinner) ist ein Stausee im Riverside County im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Seine Staumauer wurde 1973 fertiggestellt und 1991 vergrößert, wodurch der See 54.500.000 m³ Wasser fasst. Heute stellt das Skinner Reservoir zudem ein beliebtes Erholungsgebiet dar. Geografie In gemeindefreiem Gebiet im Riverside County, Kalifornien gelegen, befindet sich das Skinner Reservoir auf einer Höhe von 448 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Der Stausee liegt am Fuß des Bachelor Mountains im Auld Valley, 15 km nordöstlich von Temecula. Heute fasst das Skinner Reservoir bis zu 54.400.000 m³ Wasser und dehnt sich auf eine Fläche von 5,7 km² aus. Es entstand durch Stauung des Tucalota Creeks sowie der zwei kleineren Bäche Middle Creek und Schoolhouse Creek. Aus dem Skinner Reservoir fließt der aufgestaute Tucalota Creek heraus. Über die Wasserläufe Santa Gertrudis Creek, Murrieta Creek und Santa Margarita River fließt das Wasser schließlich in den Pazifischen Ozean ab. Wirtschaft Das Skinner Reservoir wird vom Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District betrieben und ist an den Metropolitan Water District of Southern California vermietet. Der Stausee wird sowohl über das Colorado River Aqueduct als auch vom California State Water Project mit Wasser befüllt. Eine Filteranlage liefert das gereinigte Wasser an 2,5 Millionen Menschen im Riverside County und San Diego County. Der See ist nach Robert A. Skinner, dem Hauptgeschäftsführer des Metropolitan Water Districts von 1962 bis 1967 benannt. Dieser schloss mit dem California Department of Water Resources einen Vertrag über Wasserlieferungen aus Nordkalifornien. Nutzung als Erholungsgebiet Neben seinem Zweck als Stausee dient das Skinner Reservoir heute als Erholungsgebiet. Angebotene Aktivitäten sind Segeln, Angeln, Reiten, Wandern und in einem anderen, nahen Gewässer Schwimmen. Das Erholungsgebiet umfasst 5,7 km² Wasser- und weitere 1,2 km² Landfläche. Für Urlauber sind 241 Campingstellen vorhanden. Am Skinner Reservoir finden jährlich die Events Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival und das Elektrobootrennen Solar Cup statt. Ökologie Das Skinner Reservoir und seinen Umland sind Heimat mehrerer gefährdeter Tierarten wie dem Braunaugenvireo (Vireo bellii pusillis) und dem Empidonax traillii extimus aus der Familie der Tyrannen.

Skinner Reservoir

Skinner Reservoir, also known as Lake Skinner, is a reservoir in western Riverside County, California, located at the foot of Bachelor Mountain in the Auld Valley, approximately 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Temecula. It was created in 1973 by the construction of the Skinner Clearwell Dam (expanded 1991) on Tucalota Creek, and currently has a capacity of 44,200 acre-feet (54,500,000 m3). Located north of Rancho California Road near the Temecula Valley Wine Country, The address of the reservoir is: 37701 Warren Road, Temecula, CA 92592. Lake Skinner is operated by the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District (RivCo Parks), under lease by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. It is supplied by the Colorado River Aqueduct and the State Water Project, and feeds the Robert A. Skinner filtration plant, which provides treated water to 2.5 million people in Riverside and San Diego Counties. It is named after Robert A. Skinner, general manager of the Metropolitan Water District from 1962 to 1967, who was instrumental in negotiating Metropolitan's contract with the California Department of Water Resources for delivery of water from Northern California. Lake Skinner is a popular recreation area, featuring sailing, fishing, swimming (in an off-reservoir swimming area), horseback riding and hiking. The Lake Skinner recreational area includes 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) of surface water and 300 acres (1.2 km2) of lakeside parkland, features 158 RV sites and 300 developed campsites, and is the site of the annual Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival and the Solar Cup competition. The reservoir was formed by construction of a dam on Tucalota Creek, along with two minor creeks named Middle Creek and Schoolhouse Creek. Tucalota Creek below the reservoir flows to Santa Gertrudis Creek, then Murrieta Creek, then to the Santa Margarita River and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean. Ecology The reservoir and nearby Southwestern Riverside County Multi-Species Reserve host endangered species such as Least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillis) and Southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus), dependent on riparian willow habitat that is created and maintained by North American beaver (Castor canadensis).

Lago Sonoma

El lago Sonoma es un embalse al oeste de Cloverdale en el norte del condado de Sonoma, California, creado por la construcción de la presa Warm Springs. El acceso desde la US Route 101 se realiza a través de Canyon Road (desde el sur) desde Geyserville, o Dutcher Creek Road (desde el norte) desde Cloverdale. El lago proporciona agua para el crecimiento y desarrollo de todo el condado y para la recreación. A plena capacidad, tiene 80 KM de costa, una superficie de más de 11 km²,​ y tiene 381 acres·pie (469 956,6 m³) de agua. Las actividades incluyen paseos en bote, natación, pesca, equitación, caminatas, campamentos y caza.​ Las características notables incluyen el Centro de visitantes de Milt Brandt, el criadero de peces del congresista Don Clausen adyacente y el área recreativa de Warm Springs debajo de la presa. Historia Los pomo habían vivido en la región de Dry Creek y Warm Springs durante más de cinco mil años. La construcción de este lago destruyó por completo 122 áreas asociadas con la historia del uso humano. Esto incluía diez pozos para casas, cinco persianas de caza, dos canteras de pedernal y once lugares con petroglifos. Además, había ocho espacios de reunión conocidos donde, durante más de cien años, la gente pomo recolectó plantas especiales para uso tradicional.​ Algunas personas Pomo se resistieron a la creación del lago, ayudando a los arqueólogos de la Universidad Estatal de Sonoma a escribir sobre la prehistoria y la historia de Warm Springs Dam, Lake Sonoma y Dry Creek Valley.​ Presa de Warm Springs El Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de los Estados Unidos construyó la represa Warm Springs en Dry Creek. Completada en 1982, esta presa de terraplén de tierra laminada tiene 97 m de altura, 900 m de largo y 9 m de ancho en la parte superior. Contiene 30 000 000 yardas cúbicas (23 000 000 m³) de tierra. La presa ayuda a controlar las inundaciones y una planta hidroeléctrica produce electricidad a partir del agua que se libera río abajo. Se debe mantener una cantidad mínima de flujo en Dry Creek para permitir la migración de peces. Calidad del agua La Oficina de Evaluación de Peligros para la Salud Ambiental de California (OEHHA, por sus siglas en inglés) desarrolló un aviso de alimentación segura para el lago Sonoma basado en los niveles de mercurio que se encuentran en los peces capturados en este cuerpo de agua.​ Campamentos El lago Sonoma ofrece 96 sitios para acampar con autocine y dos sitios para grupos en el campamento Liberty Glen. El campamento está ubicado en una cresta con vista al lago Sonoma, cada campamento incluye una hoguera, una mesa de pícnic y un área de carpa, con instalaciones primitivas y sin agua potable. El campamento está cerrado indefinidamente por reparaciones en su infraestructura. Hay 15 campamentos primitivos aislados que rodean el lago: a 12 se puede llegar en bote, a caballo, en bicicleta de montaña o a pie, a 3 solo se puede llegar en bote y 1 debido a su ubicación en una cresta no se puede acceder en bote.​ Panorama Véase también Valle Dry Creek (AVA) Lago Mendocino Referencias
Lac Sonoma

Le lac Sonoma (en anglais : Lake Sonoma) est un lac de barrage américain situé à l'ouest de Cloverdale dans le comté de Sonoma, en Californie, créé par la construction du barrage de Warm Springs. Description À pleine capacité, il dispose de 80 km de rivage, d'une superficie de plus de 11 km2 et contient 470 000 000 m3 d'eau. Les activités comprennent la navigation de plaisance, la natation, la pêche, l'équitation, la randonnée, le camping et la chasse. Parmi les caractéristiques notables, citons le centre d'accueil des visiteurs Milt Brandt, l'écloserie adjacente du membre du Congrès Don Clausen et la zone de loisirs de Warm Springs en aval du barrage. L'accès depuis la route 101 se fait par Canyon Road (du sud) depuis Geyserville, ou Dutcher Creek Road (du nord) depuis Cloverdale. Le pont de Warm Springs Creek traverse le lac juste au sud du barrage, reliant les communautés à l'est du lac à l'AVA de Rockpile à l'ouest. Histoire Le peuple Pomos vivait dans la région de Dry Creek et de Warm Springs depuis plus de cinq mille ans. La construction de ce lac a détruit 122 zones associées à l'histoire de l'occupation humaine. Parmi celles-ci, on compte dix fosses d'habitation, cinq affûts de chasse, deux carrières de chert et onze sites abritant des pétroglyphes. De plus, on y trouvait huit lieux de rassemblement connus où, pendant plus d'un siècle, le peuple Pomos a récolté des plantes spécifiques pour son usage traditionnel. Certains Pomos ont résisté à la création du lac, aidant les archéologues de l'Université d'État de Sonoma à rédiger des écrits sur la préhistoire et l'histoire du barrage de Warm Springs, du lac Sonoma et de la vallée de Dry Creek. Barrage de Warm Springs Le Corps des ingénieurs de l'armée américaine a construit le barrage de Warm Springs sur Dry Creek. Achevé en 1982, ce barrage en terre roulée mesure 97 mètres de haut, 900 mètres de long et 9 mètres de large au sommet. Il contient 23 000 000 m3 de terre.Le barrage contribue à la régulation des crues et une centrale hydroélectrique produit de l'électricité à partir de l'eau rejetée en aval. Un débit minimal doit être maintenu dans Dry Creek pour permettre la migration des poissons. Qualité de l'eau Le Bureau californien d'évaluation des risques environnementaux pour la santé (OEHHA) a émis un avis de sécurité alimentaire pour le lac Sonoma, en raison des concentrations de mercure détectées dans les poissons pêchés dans ce plan d'eau.

Lancaster High School (California)

Lancaster High School is a public, co-educational high school located in Lancaster, California, United States. Founded in 1995, it is the sixth oldest comprehensive high school in the Antelope Valley Union High School District. 2022 lockdown incident On September 14, 2022, Lancaster High School was placed on lockdown due to multiple reports of an active shooter on campus. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies swarmed the campus and conducted a room-by-room and building-by-building search following the call for service. After a thorough search of the campus by law enforcement partners, there was no evidence of a crime and the report was determined to be a prank call. The incident also prompted a lockdown at West Wind Elementary School on 36th Street West. It also prompted Antelope Valley College to cancel a previously scheduled evacuation drill. The campus remained open.

Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital

Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital (LPPH) is a psychiatric teaching hospital, part of the Psychiatry Department at the University of California, San Francisco. It was located on the Parnassus campus of UCSF until 2023, when it moved to the UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion. Langley Porter Clinic was the first psychiatric institute in California, and is the oldest facility of the UCSF Psychiatry Department. History The foundation stone of the hospital was laid in 1941. The hospital opened in 1942 with 100 beds, and was completed in 1943. The hospital was first known by the name "Langley Porter Clinic", which later changed to the "Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute", and later again to "Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute", or informally, "LPPI". In 1948, "the clinic's director, Karl Bowman, was transforming it into one of the world's most important hubs for research into transgender sexual identities." It was also "an important early center for the development of psychedelic therapy." The LPPI became part of the medical center's accreditation in 1962. It was named after Dr. Robert Langley Porter, a prominent and influential dean of UCSF. The eminent psychologist Paul Ekman worked here from 1960 to 2004. Anthropologist Gregory Bateson, a former OSS officer; and poet Weldon Kees also worked here in the 1950s with psychiatrist Jurgen Ruesch. During WWII, Virginia Prince, a trans woman and pharmacologist who became "an early transgender activist" also worked at the clinic. Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital relocated to a renovated space on the seventh floor of the UCSF Mount Zion Medical Center in 2023. The former LPPI building at UCSF's Parnassus campus (dating to 1942) was then demolished to make way for a new 15-story, 324-bed hospital for the UCSF Medical Center, which is estimated to cost $4.3 billion and open in 2030.

Lanterman House

Lanterman House is a bungalow-style historic house museum in La Cañada Flintridge, California on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was commissioned by Dr. Roy Lanterman in 1915 and was built by A. L. Haley (b. 1865), who was a prominent builder of both residences and commercial buildings in the Los Angeles area. Lanterman, who had treated victims of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, insisted that the foundation, floors and walls of his house be built from reinforced concrete, and Haley interpreted the aesthetics of Craftsman-style wood-built bungalows in the new material. The house retains much of its original furniture and finishes, including a grand ballroom that occupies the entire second floor, and Dr. Lanterman's consulting rooms in the basement. The property was opened as a museum in 1993 and is managed by the Lanterman Foundation. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is home to the Lanterman House Archives, which contains family materials as well as documents and photographs from the defunct La Cañada Flintridge Historical Society. The Lanterman House is open for tours most Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. and the first and third Sundays of each month from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. The Lanterman House History Center and Archive is available for public research by appointment. It is recommended that you call before visiting. Gallery References External links Lanterman Foundation website
