Roy Herndon, chief of hydrology for the Orange County Water District, said the study confirms that local groundwater recharge efforts are “effectively maintaining a sustainable amount of groundwater pumping.”

The research also corroborated the district’s water-level data, Herndon said.

Michael Casselli, associate professor of sculpture and installation and creative director of the Herndon Gallery at Antioch College, was friends with Zapata when they were both art students and said Zapata was a passionate painter with a very distinct style that came to define her work.

In 2023, Casselli curated an exhibition at Herndon Gallery titled “Mia Zapata: A Place Within,” which featured various paintings, prints and a sculpture by Zapata, which were on loan from the singer’s family.

As historians Ruth Wallis Herndon and John E. Murray have shown, children’s apprenticeship experiences correlated closely with their families’ affluence: poorer and nonwhite children—children like Jacob, Hetty, and John Henry—were often used as mere menials and servants.
