Pat will give a presentation for 30 minutes then sign and sell his books.With 52 years of research and field experience in aircraft wreck research, Pat Macha has authored five books on aircraft accidents in California: “Wrecks in the Mountains & Deserts of California 1908-1990″, “Wrecks in the Mountains & Deserts of California 1909-1996″, “Aircraft Wrecks in the Mountains & Deserts of California 1909-2002″, “Historic Aircraft Wrecks of San Bernardino County” (This is the latest book in the excellent aircraft archaeology series by author Pat Macha. In it he tells the stories of over 425 aircraft wrecks that have occurred in California’s San Bernardino County (east of Los Angeles). This area is the largest county in the lower 48 states, and stretches from barren deserts to towering mountain peaks. It is also the home of many past and present military bases and test ranges. Because of these factors, this area has been a fertile ground for aircraft accidents, and this book tells the story of many of them.) Pat has been documenting crash sites throughout California in remote locations for fifty-two years, leading him to over 150 crash sites in Los Angeles County. See his site at Aircraftwrecks.com. Pat has assisted the Project Remembrance Team by helping next of kin in visiting crash sites of their loved ones.

CLAREMONT
El Nino Community Preparation Day
The City of Claremont is preparing for heavy rains and possible flooding this winter because of El Niño weather patterns. To assist residents in preparing for storms, the City has cleared storm drains, evaluated potential flood areas, ordered equipment, and trained employees in emergency response. It is important that the City, Residents and Businesses work together to be as prepared as possible for an El Niño storm. While the City strives to protect City facilities, Residents and Businesses can prepare by doing a few simple steps.
Recommended Resident Actions
Before a Storm
• Evaluate Flood Insurance options.
• Obtain sandbags ahead of time.
• Clear rain gutters and drains.
• Have an emergency plan.
• Water and food on hand to supply your family for at least a 72-hour period.
• Monitor media outlets for information on weather conditions and flooding.
• Replace tires and windshild wiper blades on cars if needed.
During a Storm Outside
• Avoid areas subject to sudden flooding.
• Stay back from rushing water and do not walk through flooded areas.
• If you come upon a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, STOP! Turn around and go another way.
• Stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Electric current passes easily through water.
• Monitor media outlets such as radio, television, and the Internet for information concerning weather conditions and flooding in your area.
During a Storm Inside
• If the waters start to rise inside your house before you have evacuated, retreat to the second floor.
• Take dry or waterproof clothing if possible, a flashlight, and a portable radio with you. Then, wait for help.
• If you are stranded and surrounded by water, do not swim to safety; wait for rescuers to come to you. • Look out for animals – especially snakes.
After a Storm
• Check your home or business for water damage.
• Make immediate repairs.
• Inspect and clean rain gutters and drains.
• Inspect sandbag locations and condition. Replace as needed.
