Stockton in the 1930's: A decade characterized by hardships and accomplishments
The thirties began with a drastic shift from the previous decade. While the 'Roaring Twenties' had begun with a boom, the era ended in a bust with the great stock market crash on October 29, 1929. The event was notoriously nicknamed "Black Tuesday" and pushed not only America, but the entire world into a severe economic downturn. In America it was given the moniker the Great Depression and lasted for a total of twelve years.
In the Spotlight: Erik Weiss, a.k.a. Splash, the Ports Mascot
Stockton Ports fans will recognize the furry red face of Splash, the team's mischievous mascot. Few people will get to see the person inside the suit, the performers who bring the character to life.

Hawaii: The Big Island
Our tropical paradise state of Hawaii is comprised of eight main islands; one of those islands is also named Hawaii, rather confusingly. Not to worry. Everyone just calls it "the Big Island" and aptly so. All the other islands combined are not as large. As the youngest island of this volcano-created archipelago (the world's longest), it's also an astounding isle of other superlatives. Consider these: Mauna Kea, at 32,000 feet when measured from its ocean floor base to the apex, claims to be the world's tallest mountain; Kilauea is currently the world' s most continuously active volcano; Mauna Loa, reportedly the world's most massive mountain, could fit over 100 Mt. Rainiers within its landmass. Guests can also hike/ride to the top of Mauna Kea and see the world's largest astronomical observatory, and can safely hike and explore Mauna Loa and Kilauea on specified trails.
