America’s farmworkers work long, hard hours at low wages that keep our food prices low. As a result, many farmworkers, including the residents of Shady Lane Mobilehome Park, face dangerously poor living conditions.
Shady Lane Mobilehome Park, located in the Coachella Valley, is home to about 40 migrant farmworkers families. At the park, electricity outages often last for weeks, leaving residents without air conditioning during the summer when temperatures top 115 degrees. Many families are forced to sleep outside when the heat is unbearable. Running water is unreliable, often shutting down for days. The park’s septic system frequently malfunctions, causing waste to overflow during the rainy season and when residents wash clothing or use toilets. Homes are falling apart, letting rain and cockroaches inside. Dr. Kenneth Russ, a physician who has consulted with the residents, noted that the combination of deficient housing and exposure to waste at the park can be physically and emotionally traumatic, especially for children.
Instead of improving these conditions, the park owner neglected the residents. In 2011, the owner took steps towards shutting down the park, which would have left the families without anywhere to live. UC Irvine School of Law’s pro bono Community and Economic Development Clinic (CED), in collaboration with California Rural Assistance (CRLA), is working to prevent the residents from being evicted and to improve their living conditions. CED and CRLA recently negotiated a settlement agreement with the owner that would allow a nonprofit organization to purchase the park at a reduced price.
To take control of their park, residents incorporated Shady Lane Mobilehome Park, Inc. (SLMP), a registered nonprofit organization that includes residents on its board. On August 10th, SLMP is launching a 60-day Indiegogo campaign, titled “The Real Coachella,” to finance the purchase and eventual rehabilitation of the park. Once SLMP gains site control, it intends to repair the park’s electrical, water, and sewage systems, replace worn-down mobile home units, and eventually construct a community center with a playground for the community’s children.
We ask you to please consider donating any amount to SLMP’s fundraising campaign. You can have a profound impact in improving the health and quality of life of the families at Shady Lane. 100 percent of funds raised will go directly towards purchasing and rehabilitating the park.
As Robert Solomon, co-director of CED put it, “We all benefit from our farmworkers’ labor. A decent place to live seems little to give in return.”

How Eastern Coachella Valley Used Egyptomania to Sell Dates
Around 1900, as part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture program to find crops from around the world which would grow well in the United States, agricultural explorers visited Algeria, Iraq and Egypt. They returned with date palm shoots, and after planting in a number of regions, found the Coachella Valley had the perfect climate for the crop.
Soon, farmers and business leaders decided consumers might find the Middle Eastern connection romantic. Theaters adopted Arabian themes, the town of Indio built a fairground with turrets and the Old Bagdad stage, and towns were named Mecca, Thermal and Oasis. Indio started a date festival, complete with camel races and princesses in harem pants.

The Story of the Coachella Valleys Drinking Water
Here in the Coachella Valley, our drinking water comes from a natural groundwater basin, also known as an aquifer. If you take a closer look at an aquifer, it would look like wet sand and gravel in an underground basin with layers. Sand and gravel allow water to fill the spaces between the sand particles underneath a clay layer.

Pioneertown, California, is an unincorporated community of the Morongo Basin region of San Bernardino's High Desert. The historical town was originally incorporated in 1946 and fell into the hands of San Bernardino County in the late 1960s. The winding, 4-mile (6.4 km) drive northwest to Pioneertown from Yucca Valley has been designated a California Scenic Drive and the area is now surrounded by privately and federally protected lands.

M8 Simulation on the San Andreas Fault
See other animations:
Animation of simulated ground motion after a possible magnitude 8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault, showing ground shaking throughout southern California for more than 75 seconds after the rupture initiates near Parkfield. The Ventura, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino areas continue to shake due to reverberation within their underlying soft sedimentary basins.
Petascale simulations such as this one are needed to understand the rupture and wave dynamics of the largest earthquakes, at shaking frequencies required to engineer safe structures, said Thomas Jordan, Director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.
San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) researchers provided the high-performance computing and scientific visualization expertise for the simulation. Scientific details of the earthquake were developed by scientists at San Diego State University (SDSU). Ohio State University (OSU) researchers were also part of the collaborative effort to improve the efficiency of the software involved.
At the 2010 Supercomputer Conference in New Orleans, this animation was selected as a Gordon Bell Prize finalist.
