"THE LITTLE CITY IN ITSELF": MIDDLE-CLASS ASPIRATIONS IN BANGOR, MAINE, 1880-1920 By Sara K. Martin Thesis Advisor: Dr. Martha McNamara An Abstract of the Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History) December, 2001 This thesis examines the inception and growth of "the Little City in Itself," a residential neighborhood in Bangor, Maine, as a case study of middle-class suburbanization and domestic life in small cities around the turn of the twentieth century. The development of Little City is the story of builders' and residents' efforts to shape a middle-class neighborhood in a small American city, a place distinct from the crowded downtown neighborhoods of immigrants and the elegant mansions of the wealthy. The purpose of this study is to explore builders' response to the aspirations of the neighborhood's residents for home and neighborhood from 1880 to 1920, and thus to provide insight into urban growth and ideals of family life in small American cities.

  • Sacramento and Feather Rivers and Their Tributaries, Sacramento Slough and Sutter Bypass
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Stakeholders Cooperate to ReduceCalifornia Diazinon in Runoff from Dormant Season Spray Widespread use of the organophosphate (OP) pesticides diazinon Waterbodies Improved and chlorpyrifos in California’s Central Valley resulted in aquatic toxicity in the Sacramento and Feather rivers and their tributaries, Sacramento Slough and Sutter Bypass. As a result, in 1994 the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CV-RWQCB) added a 16-mile segment of the Sacramento River, a 42-mile segment of the Feather River, the 1.7-mile-long Sacramento Slough, and the 19-mile-long Sutter Bypass to the CWA section 303(d) list of impaired waters. In 2001, the Sacramento River Watershed Program (SRWP) developed and implemented a water quality management strategy for the two rivers, which included installing on-site best management practices (BMPs). Diazinon concentrations decreased, prompting CV-RWQCB to remove Sacramento Slough and Sutter Bypass from the CWA section 303(d) list in 2006. The state has recommended the removal of the Sacramento River and Feather River segments (58 river miles total) from the 2010 CWA section 303(d) list for diazinon impairments. UV162 Figure 1.

  • The Mighty Yuba River
    The Mighty Yuba River The sounds of the Yuba River as it slowly winds its way down stream, are both peaceful and relaxing. But, upstream, the river sings quite a different song. The river begins as three separate forks, the north, south, and middle, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The forks flow wildly through canyons and channels, over boulders and rock bars, and will occasionally rest in pools of clear green water. There are two stories as to how the river was named. One story, tells of a scoutinggp expedition finding wild g gpgrapes growing on the river’s banks. They called the river, Rio de las Uvas (the grapes). “Uvas” was later changed to Yuba. A second story, tells of an ancestral village named Yuba, belonging to the Maidu tribe, that was located where the Feather River joins the Yuba River. The river has changed a great deal over the years. It was mined extensively during the Gold Rush and once ran abundant with Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. Mining on the Yuba River is more recreational today and the Chinook salmon and steelhead still have a strong presence in the river. The Yuba River is also part of the Yuba Watershed. It’s truly an amazing river that has many more stories to tell. th ©University of California, 2009, Zoe E. Beaton.

  • Appendix H. Lake Davis, CA, Rotenone Application
    Appendix H. Lake Davis, CA, Rotenone Application The information contained in this summary was provided by the California Department of Fish and Game (California Department of Fish and Game, 1999). In October 1997, the California Department of Fish and Game treated Lake Davis in Plumas County, California, with rotenone to eliminate introduced Northern pike (Esox lucius) that was considered a predatory fish, potentially threatening indigenous salmonids and other threatened and endangered fish species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (personal communication: Brian Finlayson, California Department of Fish and Game 2005). Located at an elevation of 5,775 ft above mean sea level, Lake Davis is a 4,026 acre (1,619 ha) impoundment of Big Grizzly Creek, a tributary to the Middle Fork Feather River. The reservoir has a maximum depth of 108 ft (33 m) and a mean depth of 20.5 ft (6.3 m) (Lee, 2001). The reservoir is classified as meso-eutrophic based on growing season inorganic nitrogen concentration (Lee, 2001). From October 15 - 16, 1997, the Lake Davis and its tributaries (Grizzly, Freeman and Cow Creeks) were treated with two formulations of rotenone, i.e., 64,000 lbs of powdered ProNoxfish (7.1% a.i.; EPA Registration No. 432-829) and 15,785 gallons of a synergized liquid formulation Nusyn-Noxfish (2.5% a.i.; EPA Registration No. 432-550) to maintain a desired treatment concentration. The liquid formulation used piperonyl butoxide as a synergist. Rotenone concentrations were measured within and surrounding the treatment area. The data suggest that initially rotenone was not equally distributed through the water column; this is consistent with the reservoir having an average depth of roughly 20 feet.

  • The Great New Year's Flood of 1997 in Northern California
    The Great New Year's Flood of 1997 in Northern California by Maurice Roos' The New Year's flood of 1997 was probably the largest in the 90-year Northern California record which begins in 1906. It was notable in the intensity, volume of flood water, and the areal extent from the Oregon border down to the southern end of the Sierra. Many new flood records were set. This was a classic orographic event with warm moist winds from the southwest blowing over the Sierra Nevada and dumping amazing amounts of rain at the middle and high elevations, especially over a 3 day period centered on New Year's Day. The sheer volume of runoff exceeded the flood control capacity of Don Pedro Dam on the Tuolumne River and Millerton Reservoir on the upper San Joaquin River with large spills of excess water. Most of the other large dams in northern California were full or nearly full at the end of the storms. Amounts of rain at lower elevations were not unusual. For example, downtown Sacramento in the middle of the Central Valley had 3.7 inches during the week from December 26 through January 2. But Blue Canyon, at the one-mile elevation between Sacramento and Reno, had over 30 inches, an orographic ratio of over 8, far more than the usual 3 to 4 for most storms. Many Valley folks could not understand that there was a problem because they were not seeing a lot of rain. Meanwhile, the entire northern Sierra was observing 20 inches, some 40 percent of average annual precipitation.
