Banda Sycuan de la Nació Kumeyaay

La banda Sycuan de la Nació Kumeyaay és una tribu reconeguda federalment d'amerindis dels Estats Units kumeyaays o indis de missió al sud de Califòrnia, vora El Cajon, al comtat de San Diego. Reserva La reserva Sycuan és una reserva índia federal. Les comunitats exteriors més properes són Harbison Canyon i Crest. Daniel Tucker és el seu portaveu tribal actual. La banda gestiona dues plantes de tractament d'aigües residuals, un reactor discontinu seqüencial utilitzat pel seu casino, edificis administratius i edificis de manteniment. També operen una planta de tractament modular en una plana d'inundació prop d'una de les zones residencials. La tribu gestiona una planta de tractament d'aigua que controla els seus nivells de nitrat. A més, la tribu posseeix una petita clínica, un consultori dental, un cos de bombers i una petita força de policia tribal. El 2005 van eliminar el seu departament de medi ambient per raons polítiques i econòmiques. El 2004, es va instal·lar un nou sistema d'aire condicionat, sistemes de control intern i un nou parking. Desenvolupament econòmic El moviment cap als jocs de casino en la reserva Sycuan Band va ser encapçalat per l'expresidenta de la Banda Sycuan Ana Prieto Sandoval.

Sydney Walton Square

Sydney Walton Square is a hybrid public and private park located just west of the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California, United States. The park is named after San Francisco's Sydney Grant Walton, a banker and former vice chairman of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. History The 2-acre park was designed by Peter Walker. It was created as part of the city of San Francisco's partnership with Golden Gateway Center, to bring more public art to the area and planned as a combine residential, retail, commercial, and open space. In the 1960s it was part of the Golden Gateway redevelopment project led by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. Public art The park consists of various public artwork, including Jim Dine's Big Heart on the Rock (1974), Marisol Escobar's Portrait of Georgia O'Keeffe (1982), George Rickey's Two Open Rectangles (1977), Joan Brown's Pine Tree Obelisk (1987), Benny Bufano's The Penguins, and Francois Stahly's Fountain of Four Seasons (1962). Colombo Market Arch An old arch from the Colombo Market also resides in the park. It is the only remaining structure from San Francisco's historical produce district. The Colombo Market was founded in 1874 as the main produce market for the city, with fruits and vegetables brought in the early mornings by horse-drawn vehicles. After 1920, growers began shipping produce all over the United States; and by the 1950s, the market and surrounding area was in a decline and had a rat problem. This was one of the early projects by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The Colombo Market Arch was left onsite as a gateway to the park, and listed as one of the San Francisco Designated Landmarks (no. 311).

Sylmar High School

Sylmar Charter High School is a charter school in the northeast San Fernando Valley in the Sylmar district of Los Angeles, California. Established in 1961, it is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, District 2, and serves more than 3,600 students in grades 9–12. The school mascot is the Spartans. History Sylmar first opened in 1961. Sylmar Magnet School opened September 13, 1994, serving 396 students annually. In 2016, Sylmar High School became a Charter High School. Athletics Sylmar's athletic program has flourished in the Los Angeles City Section. Particularly in football, the Spartans have won two city titles under former head coach Jeff Engilman, in 1992 and 1994. Since then, the Spartans have had plenty of 10+ win seasons making playoffs but have fallen short of advancing to the championship games. Engilman retired from coaching in 2003 with London Woodfin, the offensive coordinator, taking over. In Woodfin's first season as head coach in 2004 the team went 9–3 and lost to Dorsey High School 55–13 in the playoffs. The closest Sylmar has gotten to making the championship game was in 2005, losing to Taft High School 48–28 in the semi-finals when Sylmar finished the season 12–1. Sylmar had running back C. J. Gable at the time. In 2014, the Sylmar football team made it to the Division 2 championship game, losing 58–31 to Hamilton High School. It has two City Division-I baseball titles: 1973 and 1980.

Hewlett Teaching Center

The William R. Hewlett Teaching Center is a building at Stanford University in California, United States named for William R. Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard. Located west of the main quad, the Hewlett building was built by project architect James Ingo Freed and landscape architect Laurie Olin in 1999. Hewlett, along with the Packard Building, Sequoia Hall, and McCullough Annex (renamed Moore Materials Research), were all built as a part of a project to create a new Science and Engineering Quad. The building was formerly known as the Teaching Center at the Science and Engineering Quad (TCSEQ). The project was funded primarily by Hewlett and David Packard, who donated $77.4 million in 1994. It houses two large auditoriums and teaching halls, often used for teaching introductory courses in the sciences or for lecture series.

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Tablas Creek Vineyard is a California wine estate producing various Rhône-style blends and varietal wine. The winery is located in the Adelaida district west of Paso Robles in the Santa Lucia Mountains, within the Paso Robles AVA. It is an exemplar of the GSM blend (Southern Rhône), and has been influential in popularizing it in California. In 2020, Tablas Creek Vineyard became the first certified regenerative organic winery in the United States after being certified organic in 2003. History Described as the sibling winery of southern Rhône estate Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf du Pape, Tablas Creek Vineyard was founded in 1990 by Jean-Pierre and François Perrin of the Perrin family, proprietors of Beaucastel since the early 20th century, and Robert Haas, an importer and the founder of Vineyard Brands. Having searched for the appropriate terroir since 1985, in 1989 the Perrins and Haas chose the site, a former alfalfa farm on top of a Late Cretaceous seabed, for its soil pH and limestone base similarities to Beaucastel. With an aim to produce Rhône-style wines made by organic principles, vines were imported from the Beaucastel vineyards, both to supply varieties previously unavailable in California such as Counoise and Grenache blanc, and in order to ensure the disease-free provenance of the remaining varieties. Beginning in 1990, the vines were quarantined by the United States Department of Agriculture. The first clones were released in 1992, with additional clones released over the next two decades. Planting of these French clones began in 1994. Previously, experiments had been made with American material planted in selected soils beginning in 1992. Wines were produced under the names Adelaida Hills and Tablas Hills between 1994 and 1996, with the first Tablas Creek Vineyard wines produced in 1997. Although all grapes were grown on site, the launch of the Tablas Creek Vineyard label was delayed until the majority of the wine was produced from French vines. Pierre Perrin estimates that the Tablas Creek estate with its nursery project has "probably been one of the most expensive vineyards in the world to develop". In 2009 it was reported that 50% of the sales of the Tablas Creek production takes place at the estate or through their wine club. Production The Tablas Creek estate extends 120 acres (49 ha), with approximately 100 acres (40 ha) under vine, situated at an average elevation of 1,500 feet (460 m). The estate annually produces ca. 16,000 cases (1,400 hL) of wine. Nursery Since the 1990 program to propagate grape vine clones from the Beaucastel vineyards, followed by the three-year U.S. Department of Agriculture quarantine, the vine nursery was finally established in 1992. Between 1993 and 2003, the estate produced over 1,000,000 vine grafts on site, and the sale of plant cuttings to other wine producers remains a part of Tablas Creek's business, although since 2004 Tablas Creek has contracted with NovaVine Nursery in Santa Rosa, California to produce and market their vine material.

Table Mountain Rancheria

The Table Mountain Rancheria is a federally recognized tribe of Native American people from the Chukchansi band of Yokuts and the Monache tribe. It is also the tribe's ranchería, located in Fresno County, California. Reservation Founded in 1916, the Table Mountain Rancheria is 61 acres (250,000 m2) large and in Fresno County, near Friant, California. The reservation population is approximately eleven people, with 34 tribal members living in the general area. Government The tribe's headquarters is in Friant, and their tribal chairperson is Michelle Heredia-Cordova. Cultural Resources The Cultural Resources Department was formed in 1997 as a division of the Table Mountain Rancheria Tribal Government in part to help develop a Cultural Center and Museum, and record and preserve oral history, language and stories. The Museum Collections at Table Mountain Rancheria began when Tribal Elders from the area would occasionally bring up baskets to Tribal Council to sell. Over the last century and a half, much of the priceless Tribal heritage has found its way into private collections as well. The Tribe has made every effort to bring these pieces of our shared heritage home. Since 1996, this collection of Native American art has grown to include baskets from over 20 different Tribes or Tribal groups in California. Work is under way to complete traditional village exhibits on our Native Plant Trail, developed in partnership with the Tribal Youth Council. Table Mountain hopes to open the doors to a new Cultural Center and Museum in the near future. Language Haw lesh ma’ and Munahoo are standard greetings from two distinctly different Native American languages at Table Mountain Rancheria. The old language, Gashowu, is a dialect of the Yokuts language, similar to Tachi and Chukchansi. The Mono language is also spoken here. Economic development The tribe owns and operates Table Mountain Casino and Resort and Eagle Springs Golf Course, both in Friant. Table Mountain Casino Resort includes a casino, twelve story hotel, Eagle's Landing Steakhouse, Sukai Teppanyaki restaurant (above the hotel tower), Blue Oak Grille, Native Gathering Grounds coffee shop, and a few fast service restaurants all in a single building. On July 21, 2022, the new Table Mountain Casino and Resort opened to the public. The old casino building is planned to be used as employee offices. [1] Notes References Eargle Jr., Dolan H.

Tank Hill

Tank Hill Park is a municipal park in the Ashbury Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The hill is named for a water tank that formerly stood there, and was acquired for park use in 1977. History The hill gained its name from the 500,000-gallon Clarendon Heights Water Tank built there by the Spring Valley Water Company in 1894. In the aftermath of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' entry into World War II, blue gum eucalyptus trees were planted around the tank to conceal it. The City of San Francisco acquired the water company in the 1930s and replaced the tank with the Twin Peaks Reservoir. The tank was removed in 1957, leaving a concrete platform. In 1961, the city rezoned Tank Hill for single-family housing and put it up for sale. It was purchased by a developer for $230,000, but a group led by Supervisor Ron Pelosi argued that it should instead be a park. An amendment to the city charter instructing the city to repurchase it for that purpose was passed in 1975. The Board of Supervisors were reluctant to pay the asking price of $650,000, but were persuaded by students from nearby Grattan Elementary School, who brought to City Hall paintings of the hill that they had made in class. The repurchase through the Open Space Program was authorized on September 28, 1977. Description Tank Hill covers 2.87 acres with a 650-foot peak. Overlooking Cole Valley and Eureka Valley, it is circumscribed to the south and east by Twin Peaks Boulevard, near its intersection with Clayton Street. Entrance to the park is via flights of wooden steps from Twin Peaks Boulevard and from Belgrave Avenue. The park is naturally grassy, and hosts more than 50 native species of plants, including many wildflowers; the parks department has removed some eucalyptus trees in favor of the native species. Tank Hill offers a 270º panorama of San Francisco. A bench faces east. The park is a popular viewing site for 4th of July fireworks, affording views of displays in Oakland and the East Bay as well as the traditional City of San Francisco fireworks show at Crissy Field.

The Japanese Garden

The Japanese Garden is a 6.5-acre (2.6 ha) public Japanese garden in Los Angeles, located in the Lake Balboa district in the central San Fernando Valley, adjacent to the Van Nuys and Encino neighborhoods. It is specifically on the grounds of the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant adjacent to Woodley Park, in the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area. The garden's Japanese name is Suihō-en (水芳園) meaning "garden of water and fragrance." The idea of having a Japanese Garden adjacent to a water reclamation plant was conceived by Donald C. Tillman. The garden's purpose was to demonstrate a positive use of reclaimed water, in what is usually considered a delicate environment, a Japanese garden. The ponds and irrigation use reclaimed water from the adjacent water reclamation plant. Design The gardens were designed by Koichi Kawana and created from 1980 to 1983. Their formal dedication was on June 14, 1984. The Japanese Garden has been ranked 10th out of 300 public Japanese gardens in the United States by the Journal of Japanese Gardening. As one first enters The Japanese Garden, one walks through a dry Zen meditation garden (Karesansui) containing a large grass-covered mound, representing Tortoise Island, a symbol of longevity, and a Three Buddhas (Trikaya) arrangement of stones. Next comes an expansive chisen, or "wet strolling" garden with waterfalls, lakes, trees, and stone lanterns. At path's end is the Shoin Building with an authentic 4½ tatami (7 m2) tea house and adjacent tea garden. Film and television The gardens and adjacent facilities have been used as scenery in many films and television series, particularly low-budget science-fiction and action films. In the 1990s, Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan mandated that city facilities be made available at much lower cost than similar locations to benefit the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. Productions filmed at the garden include Star Trek: The Next Generation, where it stood for various planets and locations on Earth, including Starfleet Academy. The Shoin building was also used as the spa in the 2003 film Bruce Almighty.
