Captain Bill Poole - IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame
WILLIAM E. POOLE
No one involved in southern California sport fishing is better known than Capt. Bill Poole. In a career that spanned six decades, this pioneer, adventurer and entrepreneur owned and operated 10 sport fishing vessels, skippered tens of thousands of anglers, was among the first to explore Mexican waters, and built the world's largest long-range boats.
Bill learned how to fish at the age of six. In 1947, after his wartime Navy service, he became the youngest owner-skipper in the San Diego fleet when he and his father Herb bought the 120-foot Lazy Daze, anchored it off the coast, and shuttled anglers from the pier to the barge. Two years later they purchased the 50-foot Malida and began day trips to the Coronados Islands. By the end of his first season, Bill was carrying full loads almost every trip.
In 1951 Billl acquired the Polaris, a 62-foot Navy boat. Every day from April to September he took anglers out in search of yellowtail, sea bass, albacore and whatever else was biting, working hard to make the Polaris' passenger and catch numbers better than those of the other boats in the San Diego fleet. That same year he made his first Wanderlust trip to Guadalupe Island, 150 miles off Baja, traveling seven days with 13 passengers who each paid $175. Onboard conditions were primitive, with saltwater showers, limited fresh water, small fish holds, and rudimentary navigation (compass, watch, two-band radio), and the trip took place under the radar, since Coast Guard licensing wasn't available at the time. But the fish — 60-pound yellowtail and 200-300-pound black sea bass — were plentiful.
News of Bill's ability to find these fish spread quickly, and during his 12 years at the helm of the original Polaris his well-earned reputation as a top skipper and fierce competitor was established. Two of the most notable All-Tackle world records were caught on Bill's boats. The first yellowfin tuna over 300 pounds (308) was taken by Jean Tolson aboard the Cape Polaris in 1973, and in 1977, aboard the Royal Polaris, Curt Wiesenhutter landed a 388.75-pound yellowfin, a record that stood for 33 years.
Bill Poole had the vision, knowledge, skill and marketing savvy to make long-range fishing what it is today. He expanded long-range trips to the Cedros Islands, Uncle Sam Bank, Alijos Rocks and the Revillagigedo Island chain. In the mid-1960s larger engines were approved for sportfishing boats, and Bill began commissioning finer vessels with powerful engines, plush quarters, improved bait and fuel storage, and state-of-the-art navigation electronics. He continued enlarging his boats, adding improvements and innovations that enhanced their luxury, speed, safety, comfort, and fishability. In 1964 the 65-foot Polaris II was launched, in 1967 the 80-foot Polaris III, and in 1970 the 90-foot Cape Polaris.
When Bill was ready for an even larger boat that would be better suited to long-distance travel he joined forces with boat designer Todd Chaffee to produce the 113-foot Royal Polaris, launched in 1974. The largest long-range sportfisher ever built, and the first produced by the Poole Boat Company, the Royal Polaris' all-aluminum construction caused quite a stir. To meet growing demand, the Poole Boat Company began to design and build state-of-the-art boats, all with improved functionality and creature comforts. Poole produced 27 boats in all, many still part of the San Diego fleet today.
Bill Poole was an excellent angler, a successful rancher, and a serious hunter. He owned three sportfishing landings, two marinas, and two marine fuel docks; helped found the Sportfishing Association of California (SAC); and received the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the San Diego chapter of Safari Club International.
Always willing to share his knowledge, Bill supported programs for those new to the sport, and helped young, up-and-coming captains acquire their own boats. Following Bill Poole's 2009 memorial services, a large flotilla of boats — most built, finished or designed by Bill — headed out to San Diego Bay in his honor, led by his beloved last boat, the 124-foot Excel. And in April 2012, at Fisherman's Landing, a memorial sculpture depicting Bill on the flying bridge of the original Polaris was unveiled.
Bill Poole was a long-range fishing pioneer who laid the groundwork, set the standards, and grew San Diego's long-range industry and related businesses. He expanded the geographical borders of the fleet, built boats to reach those frontiers, skippered anglers to world record catches, and mentored many of today's top young captains. In recognition of his tremendous passion for the sport and the industry, and his beautiful boats, the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame honors Bill Poole.

Update May 11th 2018
We are really excited to see that all four barn owlets are still with us and growing up fast.
The two first barn owlets hatched on April 22nd, closely followed by their third sibling which hatched four days later on April 26th. The fourth egg hatched on April 29th, making this little one almost a week younger than its first two siblings. This is a big age difference in the “owl world”, given that the owlets typically double in weight every week for the first four to five weeks. The strategy of the owlets hatching at different times is assumed to be linked to food availability – if there are a lot of rodents for the owlets to eat all hatched owlets will survive, but if it is a low year in terms of prey availability, than at least one or two owlets will make it. The fact that the youngest owlet is still with us indicates that this might be a good year for prey, as barn owls in our region typically have about two-three owlets surviving to adulthood, (i.e. leaving the nest). Also mummy owl will try and portion out the food so that all the owlets get fed. The last egg will not hatch at this point, and it is not uncommon for there to be an unhatched egg in the batch.
Right now, the young owlets look like “little dinosaurs”, with big talons (legs) relative their body size, a pointed beak and a protruding belly after feeding time. This will soon change when they start to grow their stiff adult facial disk feathers around their face, which will make them look more like an owl and will also aid them in hearing when they one day will hunt their own prey. Their wings will also start to grow, along with their wing feathers. Their blue eyes will also become darker with age, eventually becoming black like their parents.
We look forward to following the owlets as they continue to grow up into young adults!
Update May. 2nd 2018
Our online community of bird watchers have named our 4 owlets. We still have 1 egg yet to hatch, so keep watching!
1st born- Primis at 4:13 on April 22
2nd- Lilly at 16:21 on April 22
3rd- Wiggles at 17:19 on April 26
4th- Mae at 13:31 on April 29
Update April. 18th 2018
Spring is here and mummy is on eggs!
As you can see, the barn owl breeding season is upon us again and we are very excited to see that mummy owl is incubating five eggs. There are other barn owl nest sites in the Lower Mainland where the female is also on eggs. So overall, compared to last year when the breeding season was rather late, this year seems more “normal” and the majority of nest sites seem to be on the same schedule.
The female barn owl will generally incubate her eggs 24 hours, 7 days a week, for about 30-32 days before eggs hatch. She will then spend another two to three weeks on the nest incubating the young, since the owlets are not able to maintain their own body temperature before they reach this critical age. During this time the female and the owlets will be dependent on the male to supply food for them. Mostly big field voles found in grass fields nearby are the Barn owl’s favourite prey!
Interestingly, all owls lay their eggs over several days resulting in the owlets hatching about two-three days apart, although sometimes it can be almost a week apart. So it’s very clear who the oldest owlets in a brood are. The suggested reason for this asynchronous laying is that it acts as insurance for the barn owl pair. If food is abundant, all the owlets will survive, and if there is less at least one or two older owlets will make it.
Interestingly, when compared to other owls, Barn owls have markedly smaller eggs relative to their body size. This suggests they can lay more eggs if there is lots of prey, and in BC they have been documented laying up to 8 eggs!

NASA Astronaut José M. Hernández: Dreaming the Impossible | Talks at Google
The Hispanic Googlers Network in association with the Google Space Program and the AtGoogleTalks team present José M. Hernández who on his inspirational journey of achieving his dream of becoming a NASA astronaut after starting out as a migrant farm worker and applying to NASA for 12 years! He also shares his experience as part of the crew for the Space Shuttle mission STS-128 to the International Space Station. José has been featured in Oprah, 30-Minutes, and other programs.
As a child, José worked alongside his family and other farm-workers in the fields of California, harvesting crops and moving from one town to another. He attended many schools and did not learn to speak English until he was 12 years old. It wasn't until he was 41 that NASA finally accepted him into the astronaut training program and later assigned him to the crew of Space Shuttle mission STS-128. José also served as Chief of the Materials and Processes branch of Johnson Space Center and previously developed equipment for full-field digital mammography at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
He earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of the Pacific in 1984 and a M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1986, where he was also awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 2006.

SUMMARY
=======
The Pacific Electric Railway Company, nicknamed the Red Cars, was a privately owned mass transit system in Southern California consisting of electrically powered streetcars, interurban cars, and buses and was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County.
The system shared dual gauge track with the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge Los Angeles Railway, Yellow Car, or LARy system on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles (directly in front of the 6th and Main terminal), on 4th Street, and along Hawthorne Boulevard south of downtown Los Angeles toward the cities of Hawthorne, Gardena, and Torrance.
