But sharing their talents — whether that’s through photographs, delicious meals or healing music — has helped them move forward on new, unexpected paths, after those fateful days of October 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘This is When the Real Work Begins’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The last time we spoke to Norma Quintana she was literally sifting through the ruins of her burnt-out Napa home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”hQcTBb6dSb02fdTDJ3jCAsGbATQbHlAG”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gloved and crouched over the rubble, she pulled out small objects and photographed them with her iPhone. Fifty of those images became a series she calls \u003ci>Forage from the Fire\u003c/i>. An acclaimed photographer, documentarian, and collector, Norma’s response was instinctual: capture a visual record of the events that had detonated her community. She had no idea that in the weeks and months to come the images would strike a healing chord with others who’d lost everything to the blazes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13828782\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640.jpg\" alt=\"Norma Quintana, from the series 'Forage from the Fire,' 2017.\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13828782\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-160x200.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-240x300.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-375x469.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-520x650.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Norma Quintana, from the series ‘Forage from the Fire,’ 2017. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Says one fire victim after viewing Norma’s image of a charred Nativity scene, “I thought of all the Nativities and Christmases I have seen since I was a little girl and realized that while things thing can be damaged and even disappear, the memories never leave. That thought alone helps me a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norma has since become familiar with this response. “These pictures help people break down their trauma into parts, and somehow that makes it easier,” she says. She is applying for a grant to study human trauma and wants to return to her first photographic love, portraiture, to capture her insights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are so many people in our society whose lives have been turned upside down by forces completely beyond our control. We need to understand what is happening to them and why.” The recent killing of three mental health workers in Napa County veterans home by a former army rifleman believed to be suffering from extreme post-traumatic stress disorder has spurred her determination to dig in to the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ci>Forage from the Fire\u003c/i> has prompted Napa’s Rail Arts District organization (RAD) to offer Quintana the opportunity to print her images on electrical boxes and transformers along the Napa Valley Wine Train line. And, after six months bouncing from one temporary lodging to another, her family has bought a new home in a new part of town. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps most gratifying has been the outpouring of gifts sent to Norma, mostly by strangers, to help her replace the books, images and collections she lost in the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can feel it,” she says. “It’s taken a while.

But she knew that the songs she played helped. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months later, Pressman finds herself drawn to the song “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/R8Gv6A2_BFI\">Less & Less\u003c/a>,” by the folksinger Tim O’Brien, about living with fewer possessions. She’s since moved into a 350-square-foot shack in Berkeley, “one-tenth the size of my old house.” She rescued a few things while sifting through the ashes of her Santa Rosa home — ceramic artworks by both her mother and her husband’s mother, and some only-partially-melted bronze pieces — and she’s gotten closer to rebuilding her CD collection with the help of friends and fellow DJs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certain other changes in Pressman’s life accelerated after the fires. Her husband, Peter, moved into a nursing home, one of those eventualities that became expedited by the loss of their home. In addition to hosting “The Sunday Muse” on KRSH-FM in Santa Rosa, she also \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/radiowaves/article/A-DJ-s-juggling-act-classical-and-folk-music-12716907.php#photo-15115431\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">went full-time at classical station KDFC in November\u003c/a>, and now hosts the afternoon show “The Home Stretch,” a job for which she’d been auditioning when the fires hit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”CyijfYnGm63y1VvqCyaan6AI0XkFqU3s”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The one uncertainty remains Pressman’s property. Pressman was dropped by her insurance company late last summer due to fire danger, the fifth coverage provider to do so right before the fires hit. Left to take what was offered by her mortgage company’s insurance — which undervalued the house by about half its true value — “I just got the check I got and was done with it,” she says. She’s currently researching if it’s financially feasible to build a new house on the lot in order to sell it and recoup her losses. If not, she says, she’ll simply sell the land she called home for 18 years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess I’ve learned that I can withstand a lot,” Pressman says today. “Even though what you could say is ‘the worst’ has happened, I feel pretty resilient, and pretty strong.” \u003cem>—Gabe Meline\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13828750\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200.jpg\" alt=\"Still from the KQED animation of Brian Fies 'A Fire Story.'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13828750\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from the KQED animation of Brian Fies ‘A Fire Story.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Hopeful Still Feels a Long Way Off’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When we adapted Santa Rosa illustrator Brian Fies’ \u003cem>A Fire Story\u003c/em> last fall, the resulting \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/241621786\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">animated video narrated by Fies himself\u003c/a> drew more than 2 million views. “I think it’s the first-person reporting that people really connected with,” says Fies, who detailed in \u003ca href=\"http://brianfies.blogspot.com/2017/10/a-fire-story-complete.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an 18-page comic strip\u003c/a> his and his wife’s evacuation, the discovery of losing their home, and what that experience felt like in the immediate days and weeks that followed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”PUerRlY41jNfpIdjihgWCeZvKaH3bH5P”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months later, from a rental home on the Russian River, Fies continues to illustrate and write about his experience — his decision to rebuild, his dealings with FEMA, and all the what-next questions that appear after you’ve lost just about everything. Together, they will fill a 160-page graphic novel that he hopes to finish by next year. “It’s turning out to be a long, hard slog,” says Fies of the recovery and rebuilding process. “Hopeful still feels a long way off — we haven’t built a new normal. But we are all looking forward to the day when we are back with our neighbors, opening a bottle of something, and toasting that we all made it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the full-length novel, Fies plans to take a journalistic approach, drawing on other people’s stories, as well as offering context of how the drought and climate change contributed to the deadly fire. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the rental market more stabilized now than in the immediate months after the fire, Fies and his wife plan to move closer to Santa Rosa soon. Among the surprising gifts that family and friends have shared with them over the last few months are photographs of his family, including many moments captured that Fies never even knew existed. “We’ve realized how many friends we really have — just how kind and generous they all are,” Fies says. \u003cem>—Kelly Whalen\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We Were Pretty Lucky’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When we spoke with local guitar hero Allen Sudduth last week, he was moving into his new home in the hills near Santa Rosa’s Bennett Valley neighborhood. He and his wife lived at a friend’s summer home in Guerneville in the months after the deadly wildfires destroyed their house and now, almost half a year later, they have returned to Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”6OF6sJqEB5E5BwlniN4OQl7EC6sjeCZU”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything came to us through personal connections and networking,” Sudduth says. “We were pretty lucky in that regard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sudduth isn’t done dealing with the aftermath of the fire. The fires took almost everything from him, including his sizable collection of musical instruments and recording equipment. Six months later, Sudduth’s insurance claim is still open, and he and his wife haven’t decided whether or not they’ll rebuild their house on their property in Coffey Park. He says his dealings with his insurance company have been great, but they’re not ready to make a commitment yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13828712\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Sudduth2_640.jpg\" alt=\"Allen Sudduth and wife, Kris Sudduth, six months after the North Bay fires destroyed their home.\" width=\"640\" height=\"852\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13828712\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Sudduth2_640.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Sudduth2_640-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Sudduth2_640-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Sudduth2_640-375x499.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Sudduth2_640-520x692.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Allen Sudduth and wife, Kris Sudduth, six months after the North Bay fires destroyed their home. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Allen Sudduth)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people came up short on their insurance, in terms of rebuilding,” Sudduth says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the fire, Sudduth has been focusing on his music.

She had no idea that in the weeks and months to come the images would strike a healing chord with others who’d lost everything to the blazes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13828782\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640.jpg\" alt=\"Norma Quintana, from the series 'Forage from the Fire,' 2017.\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13828782\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-160x200.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-240x300.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-375x469.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/NormaForageImage2_640-520x650.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Norma Quintana, from the series ‘Forage from the Fire,’ 2017. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Says one fire victim after viewing Norma’s image of a charred Nativity scene, “I thought of all the Nativities and Christmases I have seen since I was a little girl and realized that while things thing can be damaged and even disappear, the memories never leave.

But she knew that the songs she played helped. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months later, Pressman finds herself drawn to the song “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/R8Gv6A2_BFI\">Less & Less\u003c/a>,” by the folksinger Tim O’Brien, about living with fewer possessions. She’s since moved into a 350-square-foot shack in Berkeley, “one-tenth the size of my old house.” She rescued a few things while sifting through the ashes of her Santa Rosa home — ceramic artworks by both her mother and her husband’s mother, and some only-partially-melted bronze pieces — and she’s gotten closer to rebuilding her CD collection with the help of friends and fellow DJs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certain other changes in Pressman’s life accelerated after the fires. Her husband, Peter, moved into a nursing home, one of those eventualities that became expedited by the loss of their home. In addition to hosting “The Sunday Muse” on KRSH-FM in Santa Rosa, she also \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/radiowaves/article/A-DJ-s-juggling-act-classical-and-folk-music-12716907.php#photo-15115431\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">went full-time at classical station KDFC in November\u003c/a>, and now hosts the afternoon show “The Home Stretch,” a job for which she’d been auditioning when the fires hit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The one uncertainty remains Pressman’s property. Pressman was dropped by her insurance company late last summer due to fire danger, the fifth coverage provider to do so right before the fires hit. Left to take what was offered by her mortgage company’s insurance — which undervalued the house by about half its true value — “I just got the check I got and was done with it,” she says. She’s currently researching if it’s financially feasible to build a new house on the lot in order to sell it and recoup her losses. If not, she says, she’ll simply sell the land she called home for 18 years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess I’ve learned that I can withstand a lot,” Pressman says today. “Even though what you could say is ‘the worst’ has happened, I feel pretty resilient, and pretty strong.” \u003cem>—Gabe Meline\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13828750\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200.jpg\" alt=\"Still from the KQED animation of Brian Fies 'A Fire Story.'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13828750\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/FiesStill1200-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from the KQED animation of Brian Fies ‘A Fire Story.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Hopeful Still Feels a Long Way Off’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When we adapted Santa Rosa illustrator Brian Fies’ \u003cem>A Fire Story\u003c/em> last fall, the resulting \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/241621786\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">animated video narrated by Fies himself\u003c/a> drew more than 2 million views. “I think it’s the first-person reporting that people really connected with,” says Fies, who detailed in \u003ca href=\"http://brianfies.blogspot.com/2017/10/a-fire-story-complete.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an 18-page comic strip\u003c/a> his and his wife’s evacuation, the discovery of losing their home, and what that experience felt like in the immediate days and weeks that followed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months later, from a rental home on the Russian River, Fies continues to illustrate and write about his experience — his decision to rebuild, his dealings with FEMA, and all the what-next questions that appear after you’ve lost just about everything.

Irwin, who is a food journalist, was inspired to do something to help other families facing similar difficulties. Mobilizing her connections in the local community, she brought food professionals and volunteers together to make healthy and safe meals for displaced families.

SFM is now feeding up to 50 families – a population that is falling through the cracks of the system – and they have a waiting list of 25 people. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I learned how passionate our food community is and how much people care,” Irwin says. “And that’s what really drives me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with generous donations from local sources like the Redwood Credit Union, Mark and Terri Stark, and Kendall Jackson, SFM needs significantly more funding to operate for the rest of the year. They also have plans to create an emergency food network, so a system is in place if (and more likely, when) there are similar disasters in the future. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These families are suffering and there are a lot of people here that feel left behind, they feel the world has moved on,” Irwin says. “They are really scared and if we can just offer them a couple of meals a week so they can sit down as a family and take that pressure off, I think it’s pretty darn worth it.” \u003ci>—Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Other workers were asked to do labor in hazardous conditions, cleaning or picking grapes without adequate respiratory protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week into the three-week blaze, Castillo met six women — one of whom lost her house and family dog in the Nuns-Partrick fire — who worked as housekeepers in a local hotel. They had just returned to the area after evacuating to shelters in nearby towns. The women were upset about being asked to do major cleaning at the business, which had hazardous smoke damage. Castillo stepped in to mediate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I called the manager, called the owners and managed to get them a meeting so that they could talk about what was happening,” says Castillo. “Later, I found out that the owner of the hotel laid them off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been very, very traumatic, very stressful, very difficult,” adds Castillo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten miles west of Santa Rosa, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gratondaylabor.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centro Laboral de Graton\u003c/a> (the Graton Day Labor Center) connects day laborers, including a large number of domestic workers, with employment at their worker pick-up site. The center also sponsors ALMAS, a domestic worker organizing project.

She points to a 2016 UCLA Labor Center study that shows house cleaners make up more than 50 percent of the domestic labor market statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need for data is critical, and many people are grasping for numbers,” says Lubin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this lack of data — which is crucial for accessing job loss for the undocumented community — Lubin has witnessed a dire impact on some of the laborers at the center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A huge number of the houses that burned down were in exclusive neighborhoods. I spoke with one woman who has a crew of five and they lost 20 jobs from the fire,” says Lubin. “On top of losing jobs due to the fire, some have lost homes and possessions, and others are caring for family members who did lose homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lubin says that many of the women that have returned to work are facing hazardous scenarios similar to those Castillo saw in Glen Ellen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Domestic workers are cleaning homes that did not burn but suffered smoke damage. Special companies come in to do smoke damage cleanup, then the homeowners have domestic workers do a final clean before they move back in,” says Lubin. “No one really knows what chemicals were used to remove the smoke damage.” Lubin further questions if domestic workers are supplied with protective equipment, or are trained about the potential risks of cleaning these houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No access to FEMA\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to Mara Ventura, Lead Organizer at \u003ca href=\"http://www.northbayjobswithjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Bay Jobs with Justice\u003c/a>, a Santa Rosa-based labor and immigrant rights coalition, loss of wages from time away from work and permanent job loss are the biggest issues for the immigrant community after the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have, of course, the Coffey Park neighborhood, that had a lot of homes where two to three families were living in them, more middle classes, and also our lower income migrant families,” says Ventura. “Another problem is that a lot of folks worked up in the Fountaingrove area, and lots of them worked at the businesses that were lost.

One couple apologized to Wurtzel that a piece of wood they’d been saving for him was gone, along with their house. A son’s boy scout troop did years of service projects at the camp, though much of the evidence of that work was lost to the flames.

As smoke poured in, he got his crew out at about midnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was quite traumatic to deal with all that,” he says. “Half of them were sleeping; some of them were up trimming.

It took a while to fully realize what’s really going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and the other workers stayed in a hotel with Pietrangeli for several days until it was safe to return to the property. “We had no idea if the fire is coming to the farm,” says the trimmer. “All our stuff was there; some people had valuables because there was no time to get them, like passports. It was a scary time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pietrangeli is the founder and CEO of Acme Elixirs, a company that sells cannabis-infused tinctures, edibles, and vape pens throughout dispensaries in California. Though his Boulder Creek property endured substantial smoke damage, he considers himself one of the lucky ones. Growers that he knows in Sonoma County lost entire homes, farms, and greenhouses — essentially, their entire livelihoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With state legalization taking effect next year, the North Bay wildfires “happened, ironically, after several people put down tons of money, millions of dollars, to set up farms and greenhouses in Santa Rosa and Sonoma,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13814528\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13814528\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Pietrangeli (right) and grower Chris Leenhouts worked around the clock transferring their harvest to containers at Harborside's farm in the Salinas Valley.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-375x500.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-520x694.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pietrangeli (right) and grower Chris Leenhouts worked around the clock transferring their harvest to containers at Harborside’s farm in the Salinas Valley. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Pete Pietrangeli)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Because marijuana is still federally illegal, crucial resources available to other kinds of business owners — such as loans, insurance, and federal disaster relief aid — are not available to owners of cannabis businesses. Many of the small growers Pietrangeli knows cultivated marijuana in the grey market and were preparing to go legit in time for Proposition 64, the recreational adult use act, to take effect in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they’re going to go into next year almost empty-handed and start all over,” he laments. “A lot of these people rely on money from the previous season to make the next season work, so there’s definitely a ripple effect that’s caused a lot of different economic downfalls for people in the cannabis industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That ripple effect extends to the cannabis industry’s workforce. Pietrangeli typically employs 30 people across his three properties in Boulder Creek, Lagunitas, and Nevada City during harvest season. Because smoke from the wildfires damaged a substantial portion of his crops, he’s using plants that would have normally been sold as flowers for tinctures and extracts and cutting costs on labor by using trimming machines. His crew of 30 has shrunk down to just 8 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Only three people of our group went back to the farm to Pete,” says the trimmer I spoke with.

Though his Boulder Creek property endured substantial smoke damage, he considers himself one of the lucky ones. Growers that he knows in Sonoma County lost entire homes, farms, and greenhouses — essentially, their entire livelihoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With state legalization taking effect next year, the North Bay wildfires “happened, ironically, after several people put down tons of money, millions of dollars, to set up farms and greenhouses in Santa Rosa and Sonoma,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13814528\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13814528\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Pietrangeli (right) and grower Chris Leenhouts worked around the clock transferring their harvest to containers at Harborside's farm in the Salinas Valley.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-375x500.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/IMG_7336-520x694.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pietrangeli (right) and grower Chris Leenhouts worked around the clock transferring their harvest to containers at Harborside’s farm in the Salinas Valley. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Pete Pietrangeli)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Because marijuana is still federally illegal, crucial resources available to other kinds of business owners — such as loans, insurance, and federal disaster relief aid — are not available to owners of cannabis businesses. Many of the small growers Pietrangeli knows cultivated marijuana in the grey market and were preparing to go legit in time for Proposition 64, the recreational adult use act, to take effect in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they’re going to go into next year almost empty-handed and start all over,” he laments. “A lot of these people rely on money from the previous season to make the next season work, so there’s definitely a ripple effect that’s caused a lot of different economic downfalls for people in the cannabis industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That ripple effect extends to the cannabis industry’s workforce. Pietrangeli typically employs 30 people across his three properties in Boulder Creek, Lagunitas, and Nevada City during harvest season. Because smoke from the wildfires damaged a substantial portion of his crops, he’s using plants that would have normally been sold as flowers for tinctures and extracts and cutting costs on labor by using trimming machines. His crew of 30 has shrunk down to just 8 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Only three people of our group went back to the farm to Pete,” says the trimmer I spoke with. After about a week, he left to find work elsewhere. He was able to find another trimming job through industry connections, but other trimmers he knows haven’t been so lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know a lot of people that are waiting to come to farms, but it’s not so easy right now,” he adds. “I know a few other trimmers who are looking for work and they don’t find a spot and they’re waiting since the fire.

The son of a working-class Belfast family, who came of age during the terrible sectarian troubles in his homeland, he embraced art as an alternative path forward — not least because it was a powerful argument for a better, more equitable, more empathetic world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13814043\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13814043\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-800x373.jpg\" alt=\"Clifford Rainey, War Boy (2004); Gaia (from 'Cycles of Life' Series, Torso No. 6, 2001); and Indigo No. 1 detail (2012).\" width=\"800\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-800x373.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-160x75.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-768x358.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-1020x475.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-1180x549.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-960x447.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-240x112.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-375x175.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Rainey.Trip_-520x242.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clifford Rainey, War Boy (2004); Gaia (from ‘Cycles of Life’ Series, Torso No. 6, 2001); and Indigo No. 1 detail (2012). \u003ccite>(Courtesy Clifford Rainey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Greece and Turkey as well as in eastern and southern Africa, he discovered aesthetic values and humanistic themes that have colored his works ever since: the structure, design and organizing principles of classic Greek columns, the dignity and elegance of traditional African sculpture, and the themes of freedom, justice and democracy present then and now in those cultures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which helps explain why the loss of Rainey’s work is so staggering.
