  • 3 Swept Over Waterfall Presumed Dead
    Authorities: 3 swept over waterfall presumed dead By GOSIA WOZNIACKA and TRACIE CONE Associated Press Jul 21, 2:23 PM EDT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) -- Friends are describing the three young people who were swept over a 317-foot waterfall in Yosemite National Park as church role models who normally did not take risks. Members of St. George's Church in Ceres gathered for a prayer vigil Wednesday evening, grieving over the tragedy that occurred on a church group outing a day earlier. The church pastor, Genard Lazar, was a part of the group of about a dozen hikers who ascended the steep Mist Trail to the top of Vernal Falls to pose for photographs. Tanya Badal, the sister of victim Ramina Badal, saw her sister go over the falls. She declined to talk about what happened atop Vernal's precipice, but said that despite the passage of time she was still praying the three would be found alive. "I still have hope," she said outside of the church. Bishop Mar Awa Royel said he has been praying with the family for a quick recovery of the bodies, still missing after two days of searching. On Wednesday Badal's parents, Tony and Virginia, supported each other as they walked sobbing into the church. When Virginia's knees buckled, Tony caught her. "This will be a chance for us to re-educate our young people about how valuable life is," said Charmain Morad-Daniel, a member of the Assyrian National Council of Stanislaus County, as mourners packed the church Friends said the victims likely did not understand that the swift- moving Merced River could be so treacherous.

  • Team in Training- Yosemite Hikes Hike Descriptions 2017
    TEAM IN TRAINING- YOSEMITE HIKES HIKE DESCRIPTIONS 2017 *There is a possibility that some of the day hikes will be reconfigured that contain sections still buried with snow or roads closed that won't allow us to get to the start. If we have to make changes we will provide an alternate hike that is of a similar length and character as the one you indicated as your first or second choices (see alternate destinations below). PANORAMA TRAIL* The Panorama Trail above Yosemite Valley is a true classic! The 8.5-mile trail offers stunning views of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls, beginning on the southeastern rim and ending in Yosemite Valley 3,000 feet below. Trail description: A moderate, though fairly long at 8.7 miles, the Panorama Trail: is 1,420’ up, and 4,600’ down. Starting at Glacier Point the trail begins a 2-mile downhill section, with wonderful views, to a bridge crossing at Illilouette Creek. After a short stop along the stream we climb a moderate 1.5 miles to the top of Panorama Wall, a huge cliff above the Merced River Canyon as it leads from Yosemite Valley to Little Yosemite Valley. From here the trail is mostly downhill all the way to Yosemite Valley. From the high point we continue downhill approximately another mile to a junction with a trail leading to the lake basins and wilderness of the southern end of Yosemite National Park. Another mile leads to the junction with the John Muir Trail about 1/2 mile west of the top of Nevada Fall.

  • Memory, Race, and Contemporary Archaeology in Yosemite and Detroit
    AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST Natural Graffiti and Cultural Plants: Memory, Race, and Contemporary Archaeology in Yosemite and Detroit John M. Chenoweth ABSTRACT This article argues that some elements of material culture can creatively cross the line between notions of “nature” and “culture” as these and related ideas are often tacitly understood by some modern people. This has implications for the biosphere, but the division of these categories is also tied up with the division of people, processes of identification, memorialization, and the way some people are defined out of the human realm altogether. Modern material culture—objects used, left, manipulated, and removed by people—seems particularly adept at telling us about these categories in the minds of some modern people. An archaeology of the contemporary examines how people interact with different kinds of “natural” things in places where nature and culture, in the modern imaginary, meet and conflict. In the starkly different contexts of the city of Detroit and Yosemite National Park, such objects have been managed and manipulated in a way that speaks to crucial issues of memory, identity, and race. [contemporary archaeology, nature and culture, memory, national parks, Detroit] RESUMEN Este artıculo´ argumenta que algunos elementos de la cultura material pueden de manera creativa cruzar la lınea´ entre las nociones de “naturaleza” y “cultura”, en la medida en que estos´ e ideas relacionadas son a menudo entendidos tacitamente´ por algunas personas modernas. Esto tiene implicaciones para la biosfera, pero la division´ de estas categorıas´ estatambi´ en´ ligada a la division´ de las personas, los procesos de identificacion,´ la memorializacion,´ y a la manera como algunos individuos son definidos enteramente fuera de la esfera humana.
