Pasadena will phase in restrictions on watering decorative grass under an ordinance the City Council adopted October 27, bringing local rules into line with California law.

It implements California Assembly Bill 1572, enacted in 2023, which requires public water systems to restrict potable-water irrigation of nonfunctional turf at specified commercial, industrial, institutional and public properties by January 1, 2027.

Long Beach Unveils Naples Island Trail Plan Tied to $21M Seawall Fund Crunch

The Sorrento Trail, a waterside walkway along Naples Island, is linked to further seawall repairs in the area. The project, also known as the Sorrento Alamitos Bay Shoreline Trail, traces back to a 2013 Coastal Commission decision that tied trail construction to the Naples Island Seawall Repair Project. As the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported in 2017, the state Coastal Commission ruled that Long Beach had to reconstruct the trail as mitigation for Naples seawall repairs carried out in the water. That same report noted that the second phase of those seawall repairs was on hold at the time, pending Coastal Commission approval of the trail's design plans.

'Everyday Courage' event promotes California arts, humanities

A big event Tuesday night in Los Angeles will lift up arts and culture, history and the humanities. The theme is “ Everyday Courage .” The nonprofit California Humanities will present its Spirit of the Humanities Awards. Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum, will receive the award for Courageous Leadership. She said California's postwar mistreatment of Japanese Americans remains highly relevant today. "It's critically important that we not only know the history but we understand history, because if we don't know what the lessons of history are, then they can so easily be repeated," Burroughs explained. The evening’s featured speaker will be playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino, which helped spread the word about strikes and marches by Chicano farmworkers in the 1960s. PBS currently features a documentary on the subject, called "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez." Sen. Ben Allen, D-El Segundo, will be honored as the legislative champion for his support of the film industry and arts education. "They've been an incredibly important part of what makes California special," Allen emphasized. "So much of our global leadership has to do with our cultural leadership, the fact that we're
