Diamond Years The Diamond Years 1931-1932 to 2006-2007 Diamond Jubilee Logo (on cover) designed by Maryanne Lucas The DIAMOND YEARS 1931-1932 2006-2007 Seventy-Five Year History of California Garden Clubs, Inc. Compiled and Edited by Julie A. West Second Vice President Published June 2009 Mission Statement: California Garden Clubs, Inc. promotes gardening, floral design, civic beautification, environmental responsibility and the exchange of information and ideas. CALIFORNIA GARDEN CLUBS, INC. 1931-1932 to 2006-2007 DEDICATION Let this book, “The Diamond Years,” be a testimonial to all who have served California Garden Clubs, Inc. and made our organization the integral part of National Garden Clubs, Inc. that it is today. Robin Pokorski, President 2007-2009 The Diamond Years Page 2 FOREWORD When presented with the prospect of writing a seventy-five year history book for California Garden Clubs, Inc., I did not know where to begin. Upon receiving a copy of The Golden Years capturing the first fifty years of our history, CGCI decided to keep The Golden Years intact and append it with current information. Please note that The Golden Years is in a smaller font. The updated portions are delineated by the following symbol and easier to read larger font. The only portion changed is the “Table of Contents,” and the original cover was not utilized. In addition, a new chapter, Division X New Programs, Projects & Events covering the last twenty-five years, was added. Upon invitation, a number of sections of this book were prepared by California Garden Clubs members whose names appear with their articles, and whose cooperation is sincerely appreciated. Contributions from the following persons are gratefully acknowledged in the order in which they first appear in the book: Robin Pokorski, Dedication and President’s Message Beverly Brune, Division I - Structure Jane McKee, Fallbrook Garden Club Mallory Hartt, Doris Nagy and Lorraine Ornelas, San Pedro Garden Club Greg Pokorski, Southern California Garden Club, Landscape Design Study Program, Gardening Study Schools Kathie Hoxsie, Vista Garden Club Emilie White, Chico Horticultural Society Joyce Dean, Redlands Horticultural & Improvement Society Diane Charbonneau, Golden Gardens Robin Pokorski, Golden Gardens and Permanent Files Elisabeth Tufo, Awards and Diamond Jubilee Celebration Rosa Radicchi, Conservation of California’s Redwoods Pat York, Penny Pines Jo Bucheger, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Marianne Kistler, California Poppy Reserve The Diamond Years Page 3 Mary Lou Goodwin, Stagecoach Hill Azalea Project and Landscape Design Council Mary Hugg & Lisa Novick, Theodore Payne Foundation Dolores Moffat, Flower Show Schools and State Standard Flower Shows Patricia Clayes, Landscape Design Study Program Shane Looper, Environmental Study Schools Myrtle Findley, Gardening Consultants Council Harriet Behrens, Visiting Gardens and Tours Alexis Slafer, Visiting Gardens and Tours Eileen Fiumara, Alice Hilton Memorial Library Janet Eyre, Memorial Gardens Ruth Angevine, Blue Star Memorial Markers Anne Capes, Garden Therapy Doris Rivas-Brekke, Garden Therapy All unsigned items were written by this editor who also thanks those members who contributed bits and pieces for various portions of the book. In addition, appreciation is extended to Jane McKee, who assisted with original proofreading, and a big thank you goes to the following individuals who helped with final editing: Beverly Brune Patricia Clayes Robin Pokorski (including the fancy footer found at bottom of each page) Essential final proofreading assistance, provided by Pat Clayes, is worthy of special recognition. Pat persevered through numerous drafts with eagle eyes in our attempt for perfection. Graphics assistance was provided by Mark Deamer and Deanna Ridolfi. I am grateful for Mark’s scanning of original photos from The Golden Years and converting the Editor’s color photos to black and white found in various updated sections. I am also thankful for Deanna’s Photoshop abilities with the logos. Peg Cummings from Nevada Garden Clubs, Inc. kindly provided the NGC logo. The opportunity to work on such a memorable project was exciting and appreciated!

Yearbook, Manual and Roster, 1982-2007 The Diamond Years Page 7 President’s Message We celebrated the 75th anniversary of our founding with a 75th Diamond Jubilee in 2006 and 2007, kicked off at the 75th Convention in Ontario and concluding at the 76th Convention in Bakersfield. As we continue our next 75 years, let us take a look back at our roots. A strong, healthy tree starts from good, strong roots. We are grateful that a strong foundation was set by our founding leaders. That base has allowed CGCI to grow into the largest state federation in National Garden Clubs, Inc. We can be proud of our growth. I encourage you to continue this growth by planting trees in your community and through the Penny Pines Reforestation program, by planting plants and flowers in your own yards and in your cities and neighborhoods. Our organization will grow as we become more visible in our neighborhoods and communities. Read through these pages and be proud of the positive difference districts, clubs and members of California Garden Clubs, Inc. have made and are making in our Golden State. We cannot change what has already happened, but we can be a part of the story that positively affects the future. Vince Lombardi said, "Individual commitment to a group effort...that’s what makes a team work...," and I think Coach Lombardi was right. The individual commitment of our members to California Garden Clubs and by extension to Pacific Region and National Garden Clubs, Inc. is astounding, and our team is working. We are making a difference. To be part of the Pacific Region and National Garden Clubs is to be part of a huge force for good that stretches across our nation. It is exciting, and I want to be a part of it. I can see you do too. Dig in and enjoy, Robin Pokorski CGCI President 2007-2009 The Diamond Years

  • 4.5 Cultural Resources
    Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network Master Plan EIR Section 4.5 Cultural Resources 4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES 4.5.1 Setting a. Environmental Setting. The Master Plan corridor stretches the entire length of Santa Cruz County from the San Mateo County line north of Davenport to Railroad Avenue in Monterey County. The corridor primarily aligns with the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line right-of- way, a 32-mile, continuous travel corridor. The RTC now owns 31-miles of the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Lineis now owned by the RTC. The rail right-of-way would serve both rail service and bike/pedestrian trail functions. b. Historical Background. Prehistory. Santa Cruz County is in the Monterey Bay Area, a cultural-historical geographic region which spans the central California coastline from Big Sur northward to just south of the San Francisco Bay. This region generally corresponds to southern Costanoan language groups. The prehistory of the Monterey Bay Area is categorized according to temporal “periods,” which refer to the general social, economic, and environmental adaptations of Native California populations during a given time in prehistory. David A. Fredrickson’s Paleo-Archaic-Emergent cultural sequence (1974) is commonly used to interpret the prehistoric occupation of Central California and is broken into three broad periods: the Paleoindian Period (10,000-6000 B.C.); the three-staged Archaic Period, consisting of the Lower Archaic (6000-3000 B.C.), Middle Archaic (3000-500 B.C.), and Upper Archaic (500 B.C.-A.D. 1000); and the Emergent Period (A.D. 1000- 1800). T. Jones’ (1993) updated period sequence, which integrates data from the central California coast, consists of the Paleoindian (9000-6500 B.C.), Millingstone (6500-3500 B.C.), Early (3500-1000 B.C.), Early/Middle Transition (1000-600 B.C.), Middle (600 B.C.-A.D.

Prepared for City of Santa Cruz Planning and Development Department. Prepared by Susan Lehmann, October 20, 2000. Chapter 3, Context I: Economic Development of the City of Santa Cruz 1850-1950. 1 OVERVIEW Years before the gold rush of 1849 brought about the transformation of California, several American adventurers had recognized the potential for development of Santa Cruz County's abundant natural resources. Known to the Mexican authorities as "foreigners," these men established the first industries in what was to become Santa Cruz County. With the coming of statehood for California in 1850, more Americans moved to the County, buying up Mexican land grants and establishing industrial plants at a number of locations. By 1879, Santa Cruz County had developed into a notable manufacturing area. There were five shipping points within the county limits, mills turned out 36 million board feet of lumber a year; five live kilns, employing over two hundred men, produced the highest quality lime for mortar in the state. There were four flour mills, a sugar manufacturing plant, a chair factory, a glue factory and several tanneries. The largest and most important of the County's manufacturing facilities was the California Powder Works located on the San Lorenzo River in what is now Paradise Park.
