  • (ROPE) Table Top Exercise Mark A. Hartwig
    CONTACT: Cheryl Nagy, Emergency Services Officer/PIO (909) 356-3910, (909) 725-6627, pager #1516 September 24, 2013 Michael Antonucci, Emergency Services Manager San Bernardino County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Responders Organized for Pass Emergencies (ROPE) Table Top Exercise After months of planning, First Responders and Private Sector partners from San Bernardino County came together on September 24, 2013, at the Goldy S. Lewis Community Center in Rancho Cucamonga to participate in the San Bernardino County Responders Organized for Pass Emergencies (ROPE) Table Top Exercise created by San Bernardino County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services and the ROPE Committee. The exercise scenario addressed the challenges of accessing the Cajon Pass after a 7.8 earthquake. With the San Andreas Fault cutting through southwestern San Bernardino County, which houses some of the most densely populated areas in the region, the likelihood of post-earthquake challenges in the Cajon Pass are evident. Due to the fact that the Cajon Pass incorporates a major transportation corridor (Interstate 15), rail, and utility resources; infrastructure coordinated operations are essential to the response and recovery of San Bernardino County and the Southern California region. The exercise focused on Incident Command objectives and priorities, Operational Communications and Operational Coordination, including strategic areas north and south of the Cajon Pass to facilitate emergency responses, along with analyzing any gaps within the ROPE planning process. At the conclusion of the exercise more than 100 participants now feel prepared to respond to an incident within the Cajon Pass using the newly established draft ROPE Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) and the draft ROPE Field Operations Guide (FOG) for all-hazards.

  • The Grand Canyon of the Mojave.” It Was Originally Called Cave Canyon, but Acquire the Current Name After the Railroad Stop of Afton Was Created at the West End
    Afton Canyon: Afton Canyon is often called “the Grand Canyon of the Mojave.” It was originally called Cave Canyon, but acquire the current name after the railroad stop of Afton was created at the west end. It’s one of the few places where the Mojave River flows above ground in places all year round. Vehicle access is permitted through most of the canyon, however no vehicles are allowed in the western end, where the “horseshoe” is and where the caves are located. This closed area is bypassed by taking the access road along the railroad tracks and driving through the Mojave River wash under the railroad tressel. At one time there was a train stop at Afton and a station. Afton Cemetery is located south of where the station once sat. There are five stone-covered mounds and wooden crosses. One of the burials has been identified as that of Jose Flores, born about 1882, died May 29, 1906. Flores was one of three men who arrived at Afton Station on an early-morning train hoping to be hired on. They were intoxicated and after attacking Section Foreman Robert Y. Williams, who was severely injured in the brawl, Flores was killed. The other two were wounded, one fatally. [John V.

  • MARCH 2012 by Richard D
    City of San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society P.O. Box 875, San Bernardino, CA 92402 LIBRARY NEWS MARCH 2012 By Richard D. Thompson, Librarian PIONEER “UNCLE GEORGE” LORD Last month I mentioned our intent to create a "big-book" on William F. Holcomb and his descendants. A big-book is a four- or five-inch-thick, heavy-duty ring binder filled with hundreds of pages of whatever can be found on the family. We have one on John Brown and one on Fred Perris. These are works in progress because there is much more material available than what we were able to collect within the restricted time and effort devoted to the project. A file on George Lord is now being gathered. He was the first president of the San Bernardino Society of California Pioneers, who, upon his death in 1898, was described in a Riverside newspaper as the "most famous man in southern California." Another article said "there was not a stain" in his life, and a third stated that "thousands" attended his funeral (the total population of the city was only about 6,000). I am still in the process of accumulating what is readily available on this man. This includes photographs, references in George Lord history books, newspaper articles and anything that can be found on the Internet. “Uncle George” Lord, as he was called, and his wife Arabella Singleton Lord had two sons and a daughter, the latter of whom died as a baby. The boys, George Lord, Jr., and John Singleton Lord, both had families, and I have included in the big-book what information I have on them, their wives and families.

We understand that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) is currently considering whether to grant the Silurian Valley Solar Project a variance under the October 2012 Record of Decision for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States. We also understand that BLM is currently evaluating the Silurian Valley Wind Project under the National Environmental Policy Act. As the enclosed comments make clear, NPCA has serious concerns about the proposed projects’ compliance with applicable laws and policies, and about their potentially significant adverse effects on the Silurian Valley and surrounding region. We thank you for your consideration of these comments. NPCA looks forward to participating further in the administrative processes associated with the proposed projects.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Interest and the Panamint Shoshone (E.G., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934)
    109 VyI. NOTES ON BOUNDARIES AND CULTURE OF THE PANAMINT SHOSHONE AND OWENS VALLEY PAIUTE * Gordon L. Grosscup Boundary of the Panamint The Panamint Shoshone, also referred to as the Panamint, Koso (Coso) and Shoshone of eastern California, lived in that portion of the Basin and Range Province which extends from the Sierra Nevadas on the west to the Amargosa Desert of eastern Nevada on the east, and from Owens Valley and Fish Lake Valley in the north to an ill- defined boundary in the south shared with Southern Paiute groups. These boundaries will be discussed below. Previous attempts to define the Panamint Shoshone boundary have been made by Kroeber (1925), Steward (1933, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1941) and Driver (1937). Others, who have worked with some of the groups which border the Panamint Shoshone, have something to say about the common boundary between the group of their special interest and the Panamint Shoshone (e.g., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934). Kroeber (1925: 589-560) wrote: "The territory of the westernmost member of this group [the Shoshone], our Koso, who form as it were the head of a serpent that curves across the map for 1, 500 miles, is one of the largest of any Californian people. It was also perhaps the most thinly populated, and one of the least defined. If there were boundaries, they are not known. To the west the crest of the Sierra has been assumed as the limit of the Koso toward the Tubatulabal. On the north were the eastern Mono of Owens River.
