LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
The long awaited APA CA Conference in San Diego is finally here! Expect beautiful blue skies and crisp fresh air with moderate weather between 66-70 degrees. Basically the opposite of metropolitan Inland Empire! Let's be real here, all of us IE'ers are excited for the sea breeze and of course, the actual networking and sessions. And all that SWAG! Lanyards, office supplies, pamphlets...oh so much to fill our new reusable grocery bags! All joking aside - this conference is highly anticipated and will feature a lot of great projects and ideas to reinvigorate our urban planning souls! Looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces as well meeting new ones in the coming days. Remember to hashtag your social media posts with #APACA2018 and #iesapa so we can see all of what you're experiencing along the way! See you there!

2018 HISTORIC SYMPOSIUM: ONTARIO - OCT 23
By: Karen Watkins, Section Historian
For many of us, Autumn, or as some say Fall, brings fond memories of changing colors across the landscape, falling leaves, and the most fun of raking the yard into a pile of leaves to jump in (no leaf blowers back then)! My favorite foods are from Autumn also...soups, squash, and pumpkin pie!
October brings cooler days (OK, most anything is cooler than the July we just experienced), blue skies and a longing to get outside. Here is your opportunity to join us as we spend time in Ontario learning about the agriculture of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Graber Olive House has been sorting and packing olives in Ontario since 1894. Come visit their historic shop and cannery in a pleasant residential area north of Ontario's business district. Rosalie and her tour guides give us a private tour and we each leave with a tasty can of olives. You may even have time to shop their store before winding your way to
Huerta Del Valle, an urban organic garden providing sustainable community empowerment and health. Lunch will be first on the agenda at noon with an offering of delicious seasonal vegetables and fruits in Maria's homemade recipes. Maria Teresa Alonso, Executive Director, and Arthur Levine, Project Manager, will feed us and share their hopes and dreams for the garden that are already coming to fruition!
The limit for the day is
50 people, so sign up soon.
Cost is $35 including lunch and olives.
More information will be provided as we move closer to the date.
For questions, please call Karen Watkins at 909-387-4218 or email Karen.Watkins@lus.sbcounty.gov.
