It's also an important precursor to the work that comes later to stabilize the soil from erosion and reestablishing the plant life, said Kat Kirby, spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center.

The lessons learned from that fatality have changed the fire service standards for posting medical care closer to firefighters on mop-up duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a couple of days on the fire line, White said she likes the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taking care of the forest, trying to make sure we save as much as we can, helping people and protecting the things that belong to them that they've worked hard for,\" she said. \"And just, the all around job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the continuing drought and high fire risk, it's likely she will get to do that all-around job several more times before fire season ends this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of KPCC’s in-depth coverage of the new reality of year-round fire season in Southern California.

White was working on her piece of the fire line while only about 6 percent of the perimeter of the Pilot Fire was under control. By Thursday, containment was up to about 70 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is to make sure that a fire, once out, stays out. It's also an important precursor to the work that comes later to stabilize the soil from erosion and reestablishing the plant life, said Kat Kirby, spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center. Once the mop-up is done, a team of soil specialists and biologists and others come it to evaluate the burned area and recommend rehab for the terrain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wet-mop means putting water onto the burned edge of the fire line, digging up smoldering root balls from the burned plants to douse them with water. Dry-mop means mixing dirt into the ashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's some barbed wire over here, so if you guys come over here, just be careful,\" U.S. Forest Service firefighter Mason Blair warned White and another firefighter. \"We're starting to find all the hot spots close to the line, we're trying to make sure they're all extinguished so nothing can get past across the line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work can last anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks, depending on the terrain and the vegetation it burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a lot of smoke-stomping, and, this is a big part of the job, too.

Her crew got to rest by Monday afternoon. On Tuesday, they were assigned to mop-up duty far from active flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not glamorous, the TV cameras go away by the time we're into the mop-up work,\" said Alex Viktora of the federal \u003ca href=\"http://http://www.wildfirelessons.net/home\">Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center in Arizona\u003c/a>. He studies fire mishaps, and the findings are published with a view to improving firefighting standards and safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said California's drought has felled many big trees whose \u003ca href=\"http://http://www.wildfirelessons.net/HigherLogic/System/DownloadDocumentFile.ashx?DocumentFileKey=ad687693-2ae1-4257-b6ec-0ba8f9f8c122&forceDialog=0\">burned root systems pose hidden dangers for mop-up crews.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes what we see is these root tunnels collapsing under the weight of firefighters and some firefighters have gone up to their waist in these scalding hot ash pits,\" Viktora said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A firefighter working mop-up on the Dutch Creek Fire in Northern California was killed by a falling, burned tree limb in 2008. The lessons learned from that fatality have changed the fire service standards for posting medical care closer to firefighters on mop-up duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a couple of days on the fire line, White said she likes the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taking care of the forest, trying to make sure we save as much as we can, helping people and protecting the things that belong to them that they've worked hard for,\" she said. \"And just, the all around job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the continuing drought and high fire risk, it's likely she will get to do that all-around job several more times before fire season ends this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of KPCC’s in-depth coverage of the new reality of year-round fire season in Southern California. Over the next few weeks we'll cover those affected by the summer's destructive wildfires and efforts to develop better firefighting tools and reduce the risk of property damage.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It began in 1920, when Duke Kahanamoku, widely considered the \"father of surfing,\" won a gold medal in swimming.

At the time, surfing was still largely ignored by the IOC and was denied entry to the games because it didn't meet the committee's standards for entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm pissed off that it took this long,\" he said. \"It's the greatest sport in the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IOC President Thomas Bach said in a statement that he and the entire Olympic committee could no longer ignore the need to include games that appealed to younger athletes. Among surfing, the IOC announced it would include baseball/softball, karate, skateboarding and sports climbing for the first time, calling it the most comprehensive evolution of the Olympic program's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With the many options that young people have, we cannot expect anymore that they will come automatically to us,\" he said. \"We have to go to them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the 2020 games, 40 surfers from around the world will get their chance to compete for a gold medal.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The county is field testing the programs at these sites, with an eye toward a new juvenile facility that will open in the spring. Campus Kilpatrick will have a \"trauma-informed\" approach, focusing less on discipline and more on rehabilitation. It will not have a SHU at all. And the L.A. County Arts Commission is working with probation to embed arts at the core of the curriculum as part of the rehabilitation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve seen over the years the ebb and flow of different theories of how to handle kids who are detained,\" said Sherry Gold, justice deputy for Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, who co-authored \u003ca href=\"http://supervisorkuehl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/5.3.16-Solitary-Confinement-Motion-REVISED.pdf\">the motion restricting the use of solitary\u003c/a>. \"It’s my opinion that it’s about time that we’re recognizing that arts are a very important part of a program.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Camp Scott, the mural project is starting to change the atmosphere on the campus. One girl said that the painting is relaxing and helps her blow off steam. Another said that having the mural in the SHU makes the space feel more peaceful and less like a prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since participation was required at the facility, artists Galarza and Nery Gabriel Lemus said that not all of the girls were thrilled to be there. Some started to look forward to it over time, and picked up skills to improve their painting and drawing technique. But even for those who never got into it, there were valuable lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything is interconnected,\" said Lemus. \"Sometimes it’s not just about art per se. Sometimes it’s just about being able to focus on something and get your mind off of the negativity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anaceli is set to go home in June and she says while she’s painting, she dreams of turning her life around once she’s out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Engaging yourself in it makes you think a lot of positive things like, do I want to continue my life like the way I was living?

The change is part of an effort across the county to make juvenile detention centers less punitive and more therapeutic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our question was to like, let’s reimagine something that’s more positive for what they see in here,\" said Joe Galarza, an artist with the Armory Center for the Arts, who worked with the girls on the mural.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11040631\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11040631\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/MuralWork1-1-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"All 25 women at Camp Scott were required to participate in the mural project.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/MuralWork1-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/MuralWork1-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/MuralWork1-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/MuralWork1-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/MuralWork1-1-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young inmate at Camp Scott works on the mural project. \u003ccite>(Dan Tuffs/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of the girls at Camp Scott, about 25, are required to participate in this mural project.

This spring the mural project got underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The artists taught the girls drawing and painting basics and worked with them to plan the design of the mural.

County Board of Supervisors voted in May to effectively end the practice of placing incarcerated youth in solitary confinement, citing the many studies about the psychological and physical damage of isolation. Under the new guidelines, isolation is to be used only in extreme cases and kids should be monitored and have access to a mental health worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hope is it’s a learning experience, as opposed to just strictly resolving the issue by locking the kid up behind a locked door and not having to deal with them,\" said interim probation chief Cal Remington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11040633\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11040633\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/SolitaryCell-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Around the corner from the mural is a row of 12 solitary confinement cells like this one.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/SolitaryCell-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/SolitaryCell-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/SolitaryCell.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/SolitaryCell-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/SolitaryCell-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Around the corner from the mural is a row of 12 solitary confinement cells like this one. \u003ccite>(Dan Tuffs/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The new rules took effect at Camp Scott and two other facilities on May 30, and will go into effect at the rest of the facilities by the end of September. The current SHUs are to be converted into \"cooling down\" areas. Probation is actually hoping to rebrand them as “hope centers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as this shift was getting underway, a cooperative of arts organizations was launching an initiative to provide programming to juvenile offenders year-round. And now, the Arts for Incarcerated Youth Network is working with probation and the young offenders to reimagine the SHU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I appreciate the arts community and what they’ve done,\" Remington said. \"And the timing was good in relation to coming up with these cool down areas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">Under the new guidelines, isolation is to be used only in extreme cases, and kids should have access to a mental health worker.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Murals are going up in the four facilities with SHUs.

In another facility, kids are reflecting on the experience of solitary in creative writing classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probation staff are undergoing training in how to diffuse situations and to be sensitive to the trauma kids in the system have faced. As solitary confinement is phased out, some officers worry about safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Of course I think it’s a good idea to change the rules around it, but I don’t think they should eliminate it,\" said Natonya Cantlope, who works at Camp Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she worries about the elimination of a SHU because there are times when inmates get violent and need to be separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not normal, but it goes down,\" said Cantlope. \"Them taking [solitary confinement] away from us completely?

The county is field testing the programs at these sites, with an eye toward a new juvenile facility that will open in the spring. Campus Kilpatrick will have a \"trauma-informed\" approach, focusing less on discipline and more on rehabilitation. It will not have a SHU at all. And the L.A. County Arts Commission is working with probation to embed arts at the core of the curriculum as part of the rehabilitation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve seen over the years the ebb and flow of different theories of how to handle kids who are detained,\" said Sherry Gold, justice deputy for Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, who co-authored \u003ca href=\"http://supervisorkuehl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/5.3.16-Solitary-Confinement-Motion-REVISED.pdf\">the motion restricting the use of solitary\u003c/a>. \"It’s my opinion that it’s about time that we’re recognizing that arts are a very important part of a program.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Camp Scott, the mural project is starting to change the atmosphere on the campus. One girl said that the painting is relaxing and helps her blow off steam. Another said that having the mural in the SHU makes the space feel more peaceful and less like a prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since participation was required at the facility, artists Galarza and Nery Gabriel Lemus said that not all of the girls were thrilled to be there. Some started to look forward to it over time, and picked up skills to improve their painting and drawing technique. But even for those who never got into it, there were valuable lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything is interconnected,\" said Lemus. \"Sometimes it’s not just about art per se. Sometimes it’s just about being able to focus on something and get your mind off of the negativity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anaceli is set to go home in June and she says while she’s painting, she dreams of turning her life around once she’s out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Engaging yourself in it makes you think a lot of positive things like, do I want to continue my life like the way I was living? Or do I want to become clean and live my life like a normal person?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A little over a year after \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/05/12/51625/airbnb-says-santa-monica-proposed-legislation-is-u/\">enacting one of the strictest short-term rental laws in the U.S.\u003c/a>, the city of Santa Monica has issued 893 fines to local property owners and the online platforms that display short-term rental listings, and has collected $20,000 from Airbnb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Monica's law, which took effect last June, restricts its property owners from renting out their homes and apartments on a short-term basis. Those who violate the law can face fines of up to $500. The online platforms are also prohibited from posting listings for short-term rentals in Santa Monica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council unanimously approved the restrictions last year after residents complained that Airbnb rentals were spreading throughout the city, leaving fewer traditional apartments available for residents to lease, which in turn brought up rental prices in an already expensive market. Shortly after approving the restrictions, the city set up an enforcement wing to identify people who were violating the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 893 fines issued, 618 of them went to the online platforms, which include Airbnb. Councilman Kevin McKeown confirmed that Airbnb has paid $20,000 in fines so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that amount is tiny for a startup now valued at $30 billion, it appears to mark a rare capitulation for a company that continues to strongly oppose the Santa Monica ordinance and has taken a more adversarial route in other cities. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/technology/airbnb-sues-san-francisco-over-a-law-it-had-helped-pass.html\">Airbnb filed suit against its hometown of San Francisco last month\u003c/a> over the city's demand it turn over information about hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb declined an interview request but issued the following statement about Santa Monica:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While we've responded to the city's notices, we continue exploring all options and remain hopeful that the city will revisit these misguided rules that harm middle-income Californians.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Santa Monica city officials stressed that talks with Airbnb are ongoing, and that since March the company has stepped up efforts to comply with the ordinance, which has resulted in a sharp increase in the number of citations issued to short-term rental hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have taken some voluntary measures to inform Santa Monica hosts of the law,\" said Constance Farrell, a city spokeswoman. \"They’ve also included a new field on their website for hosts for legal home shares.” (The city defines \u003cem>legal\u003c/em> home shares as when the owner stays in the home with their guest, and the guest stays no longer than 30 days.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Me2MLOsJ84NkbawT5tXrxJKLU4oGs7XM\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If hosts don't take down their listings or fail to pay fines, they can face criminal prosecution, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-santa-monica-airbnb-conviction-20160713-snap-story.html\">which is what happened to one Santa Monica property owner, \u003c/a>Scott Shatford, who was was charged with eight misdemeanor counts earlier this month. The city says to expect more prosecutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Monica told KPCC its enforcement strategy is working, and its analysis is showing that fewer people are advertising short-term rentals online.

Those who violate the law can face fines of up to $500. The online platforms are also prohibited from posting listings for short-term rentals in Santa Monica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council unanimously approved the restrictions last year after residents complained that Airbnb rentals were spreading throughout the city, leaving fewer traditional apartments available for residents to lease, which in turn brought up rental prices in an already expensive market. Shortly after approving the restrictions, the city set up an enforcement wing to identify people who were violating the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 893 fines issued, 618 of them went to the online platforms, which include Airbnb. Councilman Kevin McKeown confirmed that Airbnb has paid $20,000 in fines so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that amount is tiny for a startup now valued at $30 billion, it appears to mark a rare capitulation for a company that continues to strongly oppose the Santa Monica ordinance and has taken a more adversarial route in other cities. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/technology/airbnb-sues-san-francisco-over-a-law-it-had-helped-pass.html\">Airbnb filed suit against its hometown of San Francisco last month\u003c/a> over the city's demand it turn over information about hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
