California Invests Another $1.1 Billion to Continue Rebuilding Its Transportation Infrastructure

SACRAMENTO — The California Transportation Commission (CTC) last week allocated more than $1.1 billion for projects to repair and improve transportation infrastructure throughout the state. The allocation includes more than $533 million in funding from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) and more than $190 million in funding from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

“California and our federal partners are taking action now to create a safer, more resilient, and more equitable transportation future for all Californians,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares. “These visionary infrastructure investments are giving Caltrans the tools it needs to rebuild California.”

Locally approved CTC project:

· The Conway Ranch Shoulder project, just north of Lee Vining at State Route 167 to 0.4 miles north of Conway Ranch Road, has been allocated an additional $2.257 million to widen shoulders, install shoulder rumble strip, correct a compound curve, and improve a chain control area.

The IIJA, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” is a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure to improve the sustainability and resiliency of our energy, water, broadband and transportation systems. California has already received nearly $18.5 billion since the IIJA’s passage in November 2021.

SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually that is shared equally between the state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.

For more information about California transportation projects funded by the IIJA and SB 1, visit RebuildingCA.ca.gov.

Elks Easter Egg Hunt

BISHOP –The Elks Lodge will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 9, 2023. The event starts at 1 pm at Elks Park on West Line Street. Free hot dogs and refreshments. Plenty of eggs including “special eggs” with great prizes. For more information, call 760-873-3221.

continue reading here 13 and ironing, communal mess halls, a fire department, a newspaper, school facilities for the children, a morgue, a cemetery, even a sewage treatment plant, and most impressively, the largest hospital between Los Angeles and Reno, Burton said. During those years, 150 people died and 350 babies were born in Manzanar, he said.

According to Burton, Manzanar also had scores of gardens, including traditional Japanese gardens with ponds, which the nature-loving incarcerated residents built to make their detention more bearable. It was impossible to forget that they were prisoners. The entire detention center was surrounded by barbed wire fencing. There were eight guard towers with searchlights and armed guards.

Manzanar was the only relocation center that housed orphaned Japanese-American children—101 altogether, Burton said. There were dormitory facilities for the boys separate from those for the girls and infants. Visitors can see a replica of a two-swing set and a fenced play yard near a commemorative sign.

Incarcerated persons at all the detention centers had to complete a loyalty questionnaire. It asked them whether they would be willing to serve in the U.S. Army and also whether they would renounce their loyalty to the Japanese Emperor. Some people didn’t know how to answer those questions because, how could they serve for the military of the country that had betrayed them on the one hand, and on the other hand, how could they renounce loyalty to an emperor whom they had never been loyal to in the first place. Those who didn’t answer “correctly” were sent to Tule Lake. This created a lot of instances of family separation.

Visit Manzanar

Indeed, there is much to learn at Manzanar—not only about the unfortunate experience of Japanese Americans, but also about the Owens Valley Paiute, the original inhabitants of this land, and their tragic displacement after white settlers came.

“Everybody in America should visit this place at least once in their life to see what can happen if we let our guard down, if we let our prejudices get the better of us,” said Barbara Bane, Archeology Curator of the Maturango Museum, who organized our visit.

Admission is free to Manzanar National Historic Site, which is located at 5001 Highway 395, Independence, CA 93526. For information, or to talk to a park ranger, call (760) 8782194 x3310. The Manzanar grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset, but the Visitor Center is only open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is closed Christmas Day. Unforeseen closures may occur due to severe weather and other factors.

There is plenty of free information available for visitors to enjoy a self-guided tour of Manzanar, including an educational film, lots of indoor and outdoor displays and informative panels, and an official brochure. The bookstore sells many books and souvenirs. For Spanish speakers there is much material that has been translated, as you can see in the photo—including the script of the educational film in its entirety. It is free but you need to ask for it at the counter inside the Visitor Center bookstore.

Coming Soon

The last Saturday in April (April 29 this year) offers a great opportunity for visitors. That is the date of an annual pilgrimage to Manzanar organized by the Manzanar Committee, which, according to its web page, manzanarcommittee.org, is “dedicated to educating and raising public awareness about the incarceration and violation of civil rights of persons of Japanese ancestry during World War II, and to the continuing struggle of all peoples when Constitutional rights are in danger.” This is an all-afternoon special event at Manzanar that usually begins at noon that day and includes speeches, traditional Japanese music and dance, and a solemn commemorative ceremony, Burton said. There is no charge to attend this event.

Maybe we’ll see each other there if you choose to go this year. Till then, let’s all continue to be friends of our lands. And may we never repeat the mistakes of the past.
