Planning a major update later today (last Saturday before the holiday -- uber-busy, as are you, probably), but this rates first post of the day:
The Council of Arroyo Seco Organizations honored Altadena's own Michele Zack during their 2008 Arroyo Verde Awards. PSN's Steve Scauzillo says:
Zack has been a tireless advocate for cleaning up the arroyo and serves on the Town Council's Watershed Committee. She also knows alot about the origins of water and development in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre. She's the author of the highly praised book on the history of Altadena called "Altadena: Between Wilderness and City" and wrote the story for the 15-minute docudrama "Eaton's Water."
Indeed!
