Lake Elsinore, CA – January 24, 2017 – The City of Lake Elsinore announces the immediate closure of the Temescal Canyon Road Bridge.

After the recent storms, the Temescal Canyon Road Bridge has been rendered by the City Engineer as structurally stable but with damages to the parapet and guard rails that make it unsafe for passage.

Temescal Canyon Road will be closed to all traffic at the Lake Street signal to the bridge. The closure will be in effect for several weeks until further notice for on-going reparations to the bridge. Currently the City Engineer is working on a new bridge design to replace the current bridge.

    Etowah’s revitalization and development initiative began as a result of various occurrences. First, Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. (L&N), the reason Etowah was created, decided to pull up its stakes in 1974 and leave Etowah (Lambe, 2008, p. 55). This move by L&N resulted in the closure of many railroad jobs, leaving many men to find work elsewhere. This is when Etowah made the decision to bring the manufacturing industries into town, which would ultimately create more jobs for residents. Apparel and textile industries in Etowah would be successful for a while until Etowah’s largest manufacturing employer, Beaunit Fibers, left town leaving 1,000 local residents without jobs (Lambe, 2008, p. 55).…

    If the name Headwaters Forest Preserve does not ring a bell, you might recall Julia Butterfly Hill, who spent 738 days between 12/10/1997 and 12/18/1999 in the tree affectionately known as "Luna," to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down. Pacific Lumber had been bought by Maxxam Corp., and they were clear cutting everything in sight to pay off the bonds they sold to buy this forest. Pacific Lumber, which had been doing sustainable logging for generations, suddenly became an environmental villain due to the hostile takeover. Senator Dianne Feinstein helped put together $380 million in state and federal money to purchase Headwaters, a pristine old growth redwood forest, within the Pacific Lumber lands, east of Eureka.…

    Introduction Dams provide energy, water, and flood protection for communities, however as infrastructure ages the risk of dam failure increases (Bowels, 2007). The cost of large dam projects is increasing as climate change impacts the magnitude and duration of drought and storm events in California (Mann & Gleick, 2015). On February 7, 2017 Northern California Butte and Yuba County residents were forced to evacuate as the near failure of the Oroville Dam threatened downstream communities (Harpold, 2017). Prior to the main spillway damage, California experienced a severe multiple year drought. A seven-day precipitation event resulted in failure of the spillway and the second largest runoff event in the Oroville basin since 1995 (Vahedifard…
