50-Year Time Capsule Plaque Dedication

Click on the image above to view the Time Capsule video.
 
On August 29, 1966, a Time Capsule was sealed within an 8-ton boulder during a rock-placing ceremony in Dana Point Harbor. At that event, thousands of attendees were given tickets for a free BBQ dinner 50 years later at a celebration that would unveil the contents of the Time Capsule.

On August 29, 2016, we delivered on the promise made a half-century earlier, with 2,000 people attending the 50-Year Time Capsule Celebration last summer, including many who flew in from all over the country with the free dinner tickets they received at the 1966 ceremony.

On Tuesday, August 29, 2017, those involved in that effort will gather in Dana Point Harbor at Baby Beach to dedicate a new plaque, created by Bill Atkins Design & Illustration, to be placed on The Rock, commemorating last summer's Time Capsule Celebration. I invite you to join us at 10 AM for this special dedication ceremony!

View the most interesting items found in the 50-Year Time Capsule through September at the Dana Point Historical Society Museum, located at Dana Point City Hall.

Don’t miss the 33rd Annual Tall Ships Festival!
 
I cordially invite you to join me at the 2017 Tall Ships Festival in beautiful Dana Point Harbor. This popular 33rd annual event is not to be missed and will take place from Friday evening, September 8 through Sunday, September 10.

In celebration of California’s rich maritime history, the Ocean Institute annually hosts a fleet of historic tall ships that sail into Dana Point Harbor. This extraordinary event takes place each year on the second weekend in September.

See history comes alive, as crews from each ship, along with historical re-enactors, engage the public in cannon battles, pirate adventures, mermaid encounters, ship tours, and much more! FREE parking is available with FREE shuttle rides to the Tall Ship Festival, as there is no onsite parking at the Ocean Institute or along Dana Point Harbor Drive.

For full event details – including parking & shuttle information – visit the Ocean Institute website or click on the flyer below.

County Connections
Excessive Heat Warning This Weekend
 
Temperatures in most inland Orange County and surrounding mountain communities are expected to reach high temperatures in the 90s Sunday, August 27, and heating to 95 to 105 degrees Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures of this magnitude increase the risk of heat related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, for those more sensitive to high temperatures.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, headache, nausea or vomiting and dizziness. Warning signs of heat stroke may include an extremely high body temperature, unconsciousness, confusion, hot and dry skin (no sweating), a rapid, strong pulse, and a throbbing headache.

If symptoms of heat stroke occur, immediately call for medical assistance. Move the person to a shady area and begin cooling their body with water.

Read the full HCA Press Release for additional information on heat-related illness and prevention so you and your family can stay safe while enjoying the final weeks of summer.

OCWR Receives National Recognition
 
OC Waste & Recycling (OCWR) has received two prestigious national awards from the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), the leading waste industry association.

The awards recognize OCWR’s excellence in two categories: Landfill Gas and Biogas, for the Bowerman Power Project with Montauk Energy; and Educational Programs, for the agency’s Landfill Tour Program.

The Frank R. Bowerman Landfill generates methane-rich gas from as many as 11,500 tons of waste that go into the landfill daily and decompose. Collecting and flaring the landfill gas does nothing to maximize the value of this gas nor improve the environment.

OCWR partners with Montauk Energy, the project operator, and Anaheim Public Utilities, the power buyer, to bring about this environmental and economic achievement. The project began operation in March 2016, delivering 20 megawatts of power to the grid, enough electricity to serve 14,700 homes.

OCWR’s Landfill Tour Program helps to inform the public about how they can be better environmental stewards by knowing what should and should not go into a landfill. Also, it educates how the County provides the essential public service of managing waste and the level to which landfills are feats of environmental engineering, dispelling the misnomer that the landfills are dumps.

The entries can be found on SWANA's webite.
