storms, enough to meet the needs of more than 2.6 million people for an entire year. We simply can’t afford to let that water run down the drain. I’m gratified that L.A. County voters recognized the need and were ready to take up the task.” Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, co-author of the motion that brought Measure W before voters, added, “I am thrilled that L.A. County voted to support Measure W, the Safe Clean Water initiative. Stormwater capture improves our water supply, protects our beaches and oceans from contamination, keeps our neighborhoods and local parks green, and promotes public health and quality of life in all of our diverse communities. It also
means good-paying local jobs. Today, over two-thirds of County voters stated in one, clear voice that our increased water needs and changing climate means that every drop of water is precious. L.A. County looks forward to getting started on these infrastructure projects.” Through the implementation of Measure W local and regional stormwater capture projects, estimates indicate that L.A. County could triple the amount of water it captures annually. “Voters have embraced an historic opportunity to modernize L.A. County’s water infrastructure to meet the needs of the 21st century,” said Mark Pestrella, Director of the Department of Public Works
and Chief Engineer for the L.A. County Flood Control District. “We look forward to the critically important work of modernizing our 100-year old stormwater infrastructure to improve water resiliency and reduce stormwater pollution in the region.” “Cities in Los Angeles County just let out a huge sigh of relief,” said Kristine Guerrero of the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities. “County cities were on the hook to improve water quality, but didn’t have the resources or a regional plan to do it. Measure W makes it possible for L.A. County and its cities to more forward together with a smart plan to capture, clean and store more local water.”

and debate tournaments with my pieces. However, I could not exercise this love with other student writers outside. I wished I had the opportunity to develop my literary skills alongside other students, so I decided to begin these workshops as a personal gift to the next generation of Temple City, my home town. As I walked into the library, my heart galloped in a syncopated rhythm. Hypotheticals were flurrying about in my head: what if the children are bored? How many are coming? Have I accounted for unanticipated circumstances? Needless to say, I was anxious . As a sixteen-year-old novice teacher who would not be much older than some of the
students at the workshop, I had every right to be. But poetry, beautifully amorphous thing that it is, always finds its way into hearts in various shapes and patterns. In my workshop, I befriended about 10 poet-neophytes, all with diverse personalities. I learned that two of them went to Apple Camp together, one of them is an excellent artist, and another is bananas for bananas (“Bananas!”), their commonality being that they all cared to come to my workshop and learn about poetry. And learn they did. Though many of them were shy and opted out of presenting to their “audience,” they did want to show me their poems about autumn. The brave little 6-year-old wrote
an homage to the candy she receives during Halloween, while the quiet 8-year-old described the joy she experiences reading in the library during the fall time. The mature 11-year-old wrote an acrostic poem about the many aspects of fall in his poem entitled “FALLING LEAVES,” and the softspoken 10-year old wrote a beautiful description of the colors of autumn. In just 15 minutes, children who probably had never written a poem, created wonderfully different compositions, each tangled with pieces of their own personalities. I hope they continue to astound me with their young minds, and I hope to see even more poet-neophytes at the next workshop in January, 2019!
