Mendocino National Forest

Der Mendocino National Forest liegt im Nordwesten von Kalifornien im Gebiet der Kalifornischen Küstengebirge und umfasst eine Fläche von etwa 3.700 km². Wie alle National Forests befindet er sich im Bundesbesitz und wird intensiv forstwirtschaftlich genutzt. Der Mendocino National Forest ist der einzige National Forest in Kalifornien, der über keine befestigte Hauptstraße verfügt. Innerhalb des Waldgebietes gibt es diverse Freizeit- und Erholungsangebote. So gibt es vielfältige Wander- und Campingmöglichkeiten. Auch Paragliding und Angeln ist möglich. Auf dem größten See des Gebietes, dem Lake Pillsbury, sind auch verschiedene Wassersportmöglichkeiten erlaubt. Er grenzt im Südosten direkt an das Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument. Flora und Fauna Im Schutzgebiet lebt die größte kalifornische Population an Tule-Wapitis. Die Tiere wurden im 18. Jahrhundert fast ausgerottet und durch das California Department of Fish and Wildlife wieder im Park angesiedelt. Heute ist die Population stabil und kann an zehn Tagen im Jahr bejagt werden. Neben dem Mendocino National Forest kommen die Tiere nur noch im Los Padres National Forest vor. Zu den weiteren großen Säugetieren des Parks zählen Schwarzbären, Pumas und Rotluchse. Die Landschaftsformen des Gebietes sind vielfältig. So existieren neben Eichen- und Koniferenwäldern, auch Chaparral- und Savannengebiete, sowie Feuchtwiesen. Zu den Pflanzen des Ökosystems zählen der Kalifornische Mohn, Gemeiner Flieder und Bartfaden. Wilderness Areas Zum Mendocino National Forest gehören vier Totalreservate, die als Wilderness Area ausgezeichnet sind: Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness Yuki Wilderness Snow Mountain Wilderness Sanhedrin Wilderness Geschichte Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde im Gebiet des National Forest Bergbau betrieben und Holz abgebaut. Man hoffte dort größere Kupfervorkommen zu finden, was aber nicht eintrat. Bereits im frühen 19. Jahrhundert etablierten sich erste Heilquellen, die auch heute noch genutzt werden. Am 6. Februar 1907 wies Präsident Theodore Roosevelt das Gebiet unter dem Namen Stony Creek National Forest aus. Das Gebiet war damals flächenmäßig deutlich größere als der heutige National Forest. Bereits 1908 zeigte sich, dass sich so ein großes Waldgelände schwerlich verwalten ließ und so wurde der Stony Creek National Forest in den California National Forest und den Trinity National Forest aufgeteilt. Um Namensverwechslungen zu vermeiden benannte Präsident Herbert Hoover das Gebiet 1932 in seinen heutigen Namen, Mendocino National Forest, um. Am 10. Juli 1953 kamen im Mendocino National Forest beim Rattlesnake-Waldbrand 15 Feuerwehrleute um. Sie wurden beim Versuch eine Brandschneise anzulegen vom Feuer überrollt und verbrannten. Zwei Jahre später fand am 12. August 1955 der weltweit erste erfolgreiche Einsatz einer Boeing-Stearman Model 75 als Löschflugzeug statt. Die Maschine konnte ca. 640 Liter Wasser (170 Gallonen) mitführen. Bereits ein Jahr später standen hier 7 Löschflugzeuge zur Verfügung.

Mendota High School

Mendota High School is a public high school in Mendota, California, United States, attended largely by Hispanic-Americans. In the 2015–2016 school year, the school contained 755 students. 99% were Hispanic, with the remainder Asian. In 2011, the school's 12-person chess team, named the Knuckleheads, placed first in the Premier Division at the CalChess State Championships in Santa Clara, California. Jesus Espinoza was the chess team's mascot. They were honored not only by the City Council but also by the California State Assembly, which caused the Los Angeles Times to remark that for many of the players, that the 180 miles (290 km) trip to Sacramento, California "was the farthest they had ever traveled from Mendota." The heart and soul of Mendota High School is the football team, which was recently featured in an ESPN Sportscenter special. References
Menlo Church

Menlo Church, previously Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, is a Presbyterian church congregation located in the San Francisco Bay Area with campuses in Menlo Park, Mountain View, San Mateo, and Saratoga, California. History The church was officially organized on November 30, 1873. Its congregation has over 3,863 members as of 2016. It was listed as the 17th Most Influential Church in America according to a 2007 survey. The original site was donated in 1874, less than a year after the church was founded, and MPPC met for 76 years at 700 Santa Cruz Avenue and Chestnut, until the church built its current facility at 950 Santa Cruz Avenue in 1950, where it remains now. The Open Doors campaign led to the openings of two new campuses: the North Campus in San Mateo and the South Campus in Mountain View, in 2007 and 2008. In 2015, the church renamed itself Menlo Church to unify the different campuses, and also launched the Menlo San Jose, Saratoga and South City campuses. On March 2, 2014, the congregation voted to affirm the recommendation of the session to depart Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in order to realign with ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians denomination. Menlo Church was formerly led by Senior Pastor John Ortberg Jr., a widely known evangelical author and speaker. Ortberg was placed on a temporary leave of absence in November 2019 after allowing a volunteer (later revealed to be his son), who had confessed a sexual attraction to minors, to continue volunteering with minors at the church. After an initial investigation by a third party, no evidence of wrongdoing was found. Ortberg returned to the pulpit on March 7, 2020. The church later announced his resignation on July 29, 2020, citing broken trust and “poor judgment” in the aforementioned decisions. On October 27, 2020, Menlo Church named John Crosby as its Transitional Pastor. In March, 2021, the worship director of the Mountain View branch of the Menlo Church was fired after a claim was made of “inappropriate behavior online” many years ago. In November 2022, after a two-year nationwide search, Phil EuBank was confirmed by congregational vote to take on the responsibilities of Senior Pastor at Menlo Church.

Merced College

Merced College is a public community college in Merced, California. History In 1961, the Merced High and Le Grand High School Districts petitioned the State Board of Education for permission to set an election to approve the establishment of a junior college district in Merced County. The State Board of Education approved the proposal for the Merced County Junior College on November 10, 1961. The County Superintendent of Schools set February 27, 1962, as the date for the election. Before the election, Robert Clemo, Chief of the Bureau of School District Organization, along with Loren Wann, conducted a survey to determine if Merced County had a sufficient number of students at the time and in the future, if the tax base was high enough to support a community college, and whether a need for a separate junior college (separate from Modesto Junior College) existed. The answer to all three questions was yes. The vote in the election was 3996 in favor and 1494 opposed. The initial governing board was elected and sworn into office in 1962. It was composed of the following individuals: Buddy Iwata, George Clark, Byron Cunningham, John Hann, and Donald Robinson. Buddy Iwata was the first board chairman, George Clark was the vice-chairman, and Byron Cunningham was the secretary. Merced Union High School District Superintendent Clair Hopkins acted as the interim junior college superintendent as well as continuing his duties as high school superintendent with the permission of the high school board. One of the first orders of business for the new junior college board was to select a name for the college. While many potential names were considered, Merced Junior College was chosen by a unanimous vote of the college board. Campuses The college's service district is composed of Merced County, the Chowchilla Union High School District in Madera County, and the Dos Palos Joint Union Elementary School District. A single-college district, the main campus is located in the City of Merced on 269 acres. The new Los Banos Campus, an educational center completed in 2007, is located on 120 acres in the City of Los Banos. Merced College also has classes available at other locations outside of its two main locations for residents in Delhi, Dos Palos, and Mariposa. It has also offered classes for employees of the Valley State Prison for Women and the Central California Women's Facility.

Merced Grove

Merced Grove is a giant sequoia grove located about 3.6 km (2.2 mi) west of Crane Flat in the Merced River watershed of Yosemite National Park, California. The grove occupies a small valley at an elevation of 5,469 feet (1,667 m) and is accessible by a 2.5 km (1.6 mi) dirt trail. The grove hosts about 20 large trees with a relatively open understory, and are spread out over the last 0.4 km (0.25 mi) of the trail. History The first road to Merced Grove, a stagecoach route, opened in 1875. This made the grove accessible to visitors from across the country, who could take a train to Merced, then travel by stagecoach through Coulterville and into Yosemite. Yosemite National Park opened to automobiles in 1913, marking a new era of accessibility for visitors. Foresta, a private summer camp near the park's western entrance, was established near Merced Grove. The grove quickly became a popular stopover for the first automobile travelers heading into the park. Merced Grove was the first Yosemite destination to open to automobiles each spring after the winter months of impassable roads. Fire Humans have been protecting Merced Grove from wildfires since 1909, when soldiers and foresters first intervened to extinguish a wildfire threatening the grove. In recent years, firefighters successfully defended the area from several major blazes, including the Motor Fire in 2011, the Rim Fire in 2013, the El Portal Fire in 2014, and the Ferguson Fire in 2018. Merced Grove Ranger Station The Merced Grove Ranger Station was designed by the National Park Service and completed in 1935 as a replacement for the 1915 checking station on the Coulterville Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. See also List of giant sequoia groves Mariposa Grove - a sequoia grove in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park.

Merced Grove

De Merced Grove is een bosschage van reuzensequoia's (Sequoiadendron giganten) in het uiterste westen van Yosemite National Park in de Amerikaanse staat Californië binnen de grenzen van Mariposa County. Het ligt ten noorden van El Portal en de Merced op een hoogte van 1.667 meter nabij de kampeerplaats Camp Flat in een kleine vallei van de Moss Creek. Het bos is toegankelijk voor wandelaars en telt veertig sequoia's met een diameter van meer dan 1,5 meter, waarvan vijftien een diameter van meer dan drie meter hebben. In hetzelfde nationaal park zijn nog twee andere standplaatsen van reuzensequoia's. De Tuolumne Grove ligt ten noordoosten van de Merced Grove, ten noorden van Crane Flat. Het bekendste reuzensequoiabos in het park is evenwel de Mariposa Grove, in het uiterste zuiden van Yosemite.
Merced Grove Ranger Station

The Merced Grove Ranger Station in Yosemite National Park was designed by the National Park Service and completed in 1935. The station is located near the Merced Grove of giant sequoias in the Crane Flat region of the park. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Design This design, inspired by pioneer log cabins in the Sierra foothills, features sloped log ends and tightly fitted logs, making it a unique architectural design within the park. It stands as a notable example of Yosemite’s rustic architecture blending naturally with its surroundings. Measuring approximately 24 by 28 feet (7.3 by 8.5 meters), the cabin features precisely adzed logs, eliminating the need for chinking and creating exceptionally tight walls for a log structure. The building consists of a living room, bedroom, and kitchen. To the north of the cabin, up a hill, are two small outhouses. Use The Merced Grove Ranger Station was built as a replacement for the 1915 checking station on the Coulterville Road, the first stagecoach road into Yosemite. The cabin served as a summer retreat for Yosemite Park Superintendents, including Carl Russell, who worked on his writing of Yosemite history there.
