LECTURES
History Alive and the Great War Back by popular demand, Karl Zingheim, historian at the USS Midway Museum, returns with the role of America’s Navy and Marine corps in World War I, the conflict that dictated a 20th Century of ceaseless turmoil and the development of new arma- ments and modes of warfare. The personable Zingheim is noted for his ability to use engrossing sto- ries to relate complex world events succinctly and clearly. The lecture precedes Nov. 11, Armistice Day that ended WW I if not its legacy, and heralds 2017, the centennial of America’s entry into “the great war.” Info at the Lemon Grove Historical Society: 619-460-4353. Thursday, November 3, 7pm; free. H. Lee House Cultural Center, 3205 Olive Street. (LEMON GROVE)

a “morning star” that rises before the sun does. This weekend, November 5 and 6, Venus can be glimpsed, low in the east, about 30 minutes before sunrise. By mid- November, though, the planet rises about 90 minutes before the sun does, and blazes like crazy in the east after dawn and before sunrise. By November’s end, that gap between Venus-rise and sun- rise will be three hours.
World of Color and Colorful Animals From the subtle greens of white sage and deep-forest hues of coast live oak to the orange tonal range of deciduous leaves falling through sapphire skies, the grand sweep of nature’s fall color is on view at Mission Trails Regional Park.

The pools vary in depth and size. Most are less than a foot deep and can cover an area no bigger than a puddle to that of a large car. Why do the pools form? Geology is the short answer. The hard volcanic rock found within the park along with thick layers of clay and silt creates the perfect conditions to retain the seasonal rain. However, the silt holds more than just water — there is something magical waiting patiently for the rain. Almost overnight, the vernal pools spring to life.
Eggs that have stayed dormant throughout the drought in what is known as “aestivation” (think of it as a type of drought hibernation) react to the rain and spawn into fairy shrimp — a species endemic to Southern California. Along with the shrimp, the spadefoot toad, which some scientists believe can sense the rain as it falls, hatches. Historically, there may have been hundreds of these microcosms scattered throughout the region. However, today there is only a handful of vernal pools found around
open mic, so reading to the theme is voluntary, never mandatory.

the county due to habitat loss from encroachment of development. Where can you find these puddle treasures?
The best area to find them is along the top of the mesa. Follow the main trail northeast. The trail will make a large loop along the mesa and eventu- ally head back to the trailhead. To find the pools, take the side trails that cut across the center of the loop. Look for sections of wooden fencing that have been erected along the pool edges making them more visible and that add protection for this endangered habitat. Note: Bicycles only allowed on the main trail — not the side trails.
