A Busy Summer's SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2010 VOLUME 4 NO. 37 A Busy Summer’s End Residents of Sierra Madre have been engaged in a plethora of activities the last few weeks of summer. Among them were last week’s Individual Emergency Preparedness Festival and A Taste of Sierra Madre. In addition, activities for youth, such as the Library’s Summer Reading program have kept children and families busy, busy, busy! Clockwise, from top left to right, one young resident enjoys the best seat in town on Dad’s shoulders as they stroll through Kersting Court. (Photo by C.

  • Water Resources Technical Report
    Appendix E: Water Resources Technical Report IV-E The Arroyo Seco Watershed Restoration Feasibility Study Water Resources By Tim Brick A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco The Water System – How It Works Watershed Management Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco Geographically and historically the Arroyo Seco has played an important role in the development of water resources in Southern California. The Natural History Geology divided the Arroyo Seco into three distinct sections with very different hydrologic characteristics: 1) the precipitous upper mountain watershed; 2) the Raymond Basin area including Pasadena and surrounding communities; and 3) the region below the Raymond Dyke in South Pasadena and northeast Los Angeles. About half the length of the Arroyo Seco lies in the upper mountain watershed. This is the front range of the Sierra Madre or San Gabriel Mountains, well known for harsh conditions and landslides. Fierce rainstorms and raging forest fires periodically attack the steep erosion-prone slopes in this relatively small upper watershed (32 square miles) to create the conditions for substantial floods that occasionally roar into the heavily populated communities below. As the Arroyo Seco emerges from the San Gabriel Mountains, its steep descent slows and the waters cut through an alluvial plain. Beneath this region, which includes La Cañada-Flintridge, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and part of Arcadia, lies the Raymond Basin – a massive bowl of alluvial sand and gravel filled with water. The south rim of the basin is the Raymond Dyke, a geological fault that runs from Highland Park to Raymond Hill at Pasadena’s southern boundary with South Pasadena and then through San Marino just north of Huntington Drive to Santa Anita Canyon on the east side of Arcadia.

  • Congratulations on 100 Years, NAACP Pasadena! I Appreciate Your Dedication to Providing Equal Opportunities Through Jobs and Education in Our Community
    Congratulations on 100 years, NAACP Pasadena! I appreciate your dedication to providing equal opportunities through jobs and education in our community. @SupervisorBarger @KathrynBarger @SupervisorKathrynBarger KathrynBarger.LACounty.gov NAACP 2 MESSAGE FROM BRANCH PRESIDENT, ALLEN EDSON Greetings, Tonight, the Pasadena Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is celebrating our Centennial in Pasadena, at the 34th Annual Ruby McK- night Williams Awards Dinner. Thank you all for celebrating this historic achievement with us. The Pasadena Branch has strived for what is right and will continue to fight for what is right in the City of Pasadena. Diversity and inclusion have long been the hallmarks of the Branch since its founding by John Wright, September 8, 1919, before it was fashionable, in all aspects of life in Pasadena. The Branch lead the court battle for the desegregation of the Brookside Plunge, the selection of the Rose Queen and her Court, and the desegregation of the Pasadena Unified School District. If you were to take an informal poll of the African American residents of Pasadena, they will all express their love for Pas- adena, without providing any specific reason. Growing up in a family environment where the NAACP was front and center in the conversation, I surmise that their love for Pasadena is due to the work of the NAACP and the courage we have instilled in the community, to let their voices be heard. The Branch continues fighting for what is right, and to be successful, we need to work together as a community. The NAACP has joined with the Interdenominational Ministrial Alliance (IMA), in a Civic Engagement Project for the 2020 Election cycle.
