As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

Which for him, it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelinas became obsessed with preserving the Valley he knew growing up in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The long-gone ice cream stands, fast food joints, cocktail lounges and record stores that seemed mundane decades ago have become things of significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And as I started to look for it, I realized that the Valley has been striped of its history, and there really is no preservation,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history has a safe haven here. Gelinas has over 15,000 items crammed into this 5,000-square-foot warehouse, and it’s a dazzling parade of cultural eye candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here we’re not claiming to be the Smithsonian,” Gelinas admits. “What it is, it’s kind of like a resting place for our local history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes western tailor Nudie Cohn’s ’65 Bonneville wagon with chrome pistols and steer horns mounted on the hood. It includes props and costumes from locally shot B-grade westerns, and artifacts from low-budget sci-fi and monster movies. Cool stuff and plenty of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not all kitsch. Gelinas pays tribute to the aerospace and auto industries, back when Lockheed and GM ruled the Valley. Yeah, they made Camaros here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The museum may not be filled with antiques, but collecting artifacts from the recent past still took some doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a lot easier for me to find something from the 1800s than it is to find a picture from a mall that opened in the ‘70s,” Gelinas explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And shining down on everything are dozens of enormous neon signs rescued from scrap heaps and forgotten warehouses, brought back to life to hum and glow you into the past, whether you lived through it the first time around or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673226\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11673226\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-375x500.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucy Giles and Vinnie Tauzer, along with Theodore the chipmunk, one of the many attractions at the Valley Relics Museum. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I was born in 1998, so I think it’s really cool that all this stuff from this period of time is like in one place,” says Lucy Giles.

Tommy loves the bell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is part of that pop culture coolness that has slowly disappeared,” says Gelinas, gazing at the bell like it’s a piece of long-lost treasure. Which for him, it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelinas became obsessed with preserving the Valley he knew growing up in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The long-gone ice cream stands, fast food joints, cocktail lounges and record stores that seemed mundane decades ago have become things of significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And as I started to look for it, I realized that the Valley has been striped of its history, and there really is no preservation,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history has a safe haven here. Gelinas has over 15,000 items crammed into this 5,000-square-foot warehouse, and it’s a dazzling parade of cultural eye candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here we’re not claiming to be the Smithsonian,” Gelinas admits. “What it is, it’s kind of like a resting place for our local history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes western tailor Nudie Cohn’s ’65 Bonneville wagon with chrome pistols and steer horns mounted on the hood. It includes props and costumes from locally shot B-grade westerns, and artifacts from low-budget sci-fi and monster movies. Cool stuff and plenty of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not all kitsch. Gelinas pays tribute to the aerospace and auto industries, back when Lockheed and GM ruled the Valley. Yeah, they made Camaros here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The museum may not be filled with antiques, but collecting artifacts from the recent past still took some doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a lot easier for me to find something from the 1800s than it is to find a picture from a mall that opened in the ‘70s,” Gelinas explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And shining down on everything are dozens of enormous neon signs rescued from scrap heaps and forgotten warehouses, brought back to life to hum and glow you into the past, whether you lived through it the first time around or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673226\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11673226\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-375x500.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucy Giles and Vinnie Tauzer, along with Theodore the chipmunk, one of the many attractions at the Valley Relics Museum. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I was born in 1998, so I think it’s really cool that all this stuff from this period of time is like in one place,” says Lucy Giles.

The island was protected by beautiful black warrior women who lived like the Amazons and served their ruler, Queen Calafia. The novel was so popular that when Spanish explorers arrived, they named their discovery after the mythical island of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Curious listener Shridhar Ramachandran was wondering about how other California places got their names — specifically those in the Bay Area.

The name was changed the following year because a nearby section of Berkeley was also called Ocean View. The town became Albany because the first mayor, Frank J. Roberts, was born in Albany, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alcatraz\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “pelican.” The name Isla de Los Alcatraces was first given to what is now Yerba Buena Island because there were so many pelicans there. Later the name was transferred to the Alcatraz Island of today.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Angel Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Juan Manuel de Ayala named it Isla de los Ángeles in 1775.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Antioch\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1849 the place was called Smith’s Landing because it had been settled by twin brothers with the surname Smith. One of the brothers was a minister and invited a group of New Englanders to settle on his property. On July 4, 1851, the new citizens had a picnic and decided to rename the land Antioch, after a Biblical city in Syria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Atherton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town was named after the businessman Faxon D. Atherton, who first visited California in 1836. Years later he acquired 500 acres where the town now sits.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Benicia\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The land was to be named Francisca, after the wife of Gen. Mariano Vallejo. But when the chief magistrate of Yerba Buena registered the name for the town, he decided to call his growing settlement San Francisco. Francisca became too similar to San Francisco, and thus the name was changed to another one of Señora Vallejo’s names, Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Berkeley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On May 24, 1866, the trustees of the College of California chose the name Berkeley. Frederick Billings proposed the name, inspired by a poem from George Berkeley, bishop of Cloyne. Berkeley had written the poem in 1728 while sailing to Rhode Island with the ultimate goal of founding a school in Bermuda: “Westward the course of Empire takes its way / The four first acts already past, / A fifth shall close the drama with the day / Time’s noblest offspring is the last.” Less known is that Berkeley bought slaves to work on his plantation during his stay in Rhode Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Bolinas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834, Ignacio Martinez mentioned a valley that people call “Baulenes.” The name probably comes from a Coast Miwok word. The name was misspelled as Ballenas from 1852 to 1910 on Coast Survey charts, an accidental analogy to the Spanish word for whale. Then in 1896, George Davidson falsely assumed the bay had been named for Francisco de Bolaños from Sebastián Vizcaíno’s expedition. This caused the spelling to change to Bolanos and Boliñas. By 1873, the USGS adopted the spelling Bolinas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Burlingame\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named in 1868 by William Ralston. He named it after his friend, Anson Burlingame, a lawyer and politician. Notably, Burlingame had been President Abraham Lincoln’s U.S. minister to the Qing Empire in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Castro Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Guillermo Castro, a rancher.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Concord\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Salvio Pacheco, owner of the Monte del Diablo rancho, selected the site for a town in 1862. He named the settlement Todos Santos, but many of the new residents were from New England with Anglo sensibilities. By 1869, the town was known as Concord, probably referring to the Concord in Massachusetts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Cupertino\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town took the name from Cupertino Creek, which had been named for St. Joseph of Cupertino.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Daly City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John Daly arrived in California when he was 13 in the 1850s. His mother had died on the Panama Canal crossing. The boy found work on a dairy farm and rose quickly. By 1868 he owned 250 acres. After the 1906 earthquake, many San Franciscans took refuge on Daly’s dairy farm. When the land was incorporated in 1911, the town was named in his honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Danville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in the 1860s, possibly after Danville, Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Dublin\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>James Witt Dougherty bought a large parcel of land in the area. By the 1870s many Irish immigrants had moved nearby. It is rumored that Dougherty said “There are so many Irish here, you might as well call it Dublin.”\u003cbr>\n[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>El Cerrito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “little hill” in Spanish. The hill it refers to is actually in Albany and is now called Albany Hill. The first record of the name was when the area was referred to as Cerrito de San Antonio in 1820, possibly to honor Anthony of Padua, a patron saint of the Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Emeryville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for Joseph Emery, who came to California in 1850 and bought 185 acres in 1859. He is known for overseeing the dredging of the Oakland estuary. He was also the president of the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fairfield\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In the 1850s, a famous clipper ship captain, Robert H. Waterman, moved to the area, where he lived in a house modeled after the prow of a ship. When he gave the land up in order to found a new city, he named it after his hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Foster City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after T. Jack Foster, who gave land to the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fremont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John C. Fremont was a soldier, explorer and politician. He was also the first Republican candidate to run for president in 1856.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Gilroy\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after the Scottish sailor, John Gilroy who was not actually named John Gilroy. His name was John Cameron. He went by Gilroy, his mothers maiden name, because he’d been a minor when he left home and was in danger of being sent back. In 1814 he was left ashore in Monterey. He became one of the first non-Spanish non-native permanent settlers in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Half Moon Bay\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for the shape of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hayward\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city is named after William Hayward, who opened a hotel there in 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hercules\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s actually named after explosives. In 1881, the California Powder Works company began producing dynamite out of the area. It made a product called Hercules Powder. When the town became incorporated, community leaders decided to name it Hercules.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hillsborough\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The former owner of the area was W. D. M. Howard, who was from Hillsborough, New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Lafayette\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who fought in the U.S. War of Independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Larkspur\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was subdivided by Charles W. Wright in 1887, and his wife, Georgina, named the town. She allegedly saw flowers blooming on a hill and thought the lupine was larkspur.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Livermore\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the English sailor, Robert Livermore, who came to California in the 1820s, became a Mexican citizen and got a huge land grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Altos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “the heights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Gatos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “cats.” The Santa Cruz Mountains were once called Cuesta de los Gatos. When the railroad created a station nearby in 1878, it was named Los Gatos Creek.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Martinez\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the landowner Ignacio Martínez, who had been comandante at the Presidio of San Francisco from 1822-1827.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Menlo Park\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There were two brothers-in-law, Dennis J. Oliver and D. C. McGlynn. They came from the village of Menlough in County Galway, Ireland. Between their two ranches they built an arched gate with the inscription “Menlo Park.” When the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad reached the place in 1863, they adopted the name for the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mill Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834 a sawmill was built in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Milpitas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Mexican Spanish milpas means “cornfields.” The family of Máximo Martínez, as well as local Native Americans, had once worked in nearby cornfields.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003ca id=\"moraga\">\u003c/a>Moraga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Joaquín Moraga, a soldier in the San Francisco Company. His father was the explorer Gabriel Moraga.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Morgan Hill\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after Morgan Hill, a ranch owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mountain View\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for a stage station that had views of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Mount Diablo and Mount Hamilton.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Napa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There are many theories for what Napa could mean. According to some, Napa is Southern Patwin for “grizzly bear.” Others think it comes from the Eastern and Central Pomo, who have the word naphó, which means “people family.” A third theory is that it comes from the Suisun Patwin and could mean “near mother,” “near home” or “motherland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Newark\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1876, the South Pacific Coast Railroad Co. named the railroad station after the New Jersey home of A.E. Davis and his brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Nicasio\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s believed that Nicasio was a Native American who was baptized with the name of one of several saints named Nicasius.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Novato\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name is probably from a chief of the Hookooeko or Miwok. Historians believe the chief had probably been baptized with the name of St. Novatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Oakland\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish times, part of the area had been called Encinal del Temescal or “Oak Grove by the Sweathouse” because of a beautiful oak grove. When the area was incorporated as a town, the name was spontaneously chosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Orinda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The sheriff and landowner William Camron was married to Alice M. Camron. Mrs. Camron chose to name their home in honor of her favorite poet, Katherine Fowler Philips, who was known as “The Matchless Orinda.”*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pacifica\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Because the city is next to the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Palo Alto\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Palo means stick in Spanish, but in Spanish California it meant tree. It may refer to a specific redwood tree seen by the Anza expedition, that “appears from a distance like a tower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pescadero\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish it means “fishing place” because people caught salmon there.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Petaluma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Coast Miwok, péta lúuma means “hillside back” or “hillside ridge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Piedmont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was inspired either by the French word piedmont or the Italian word piemonte, both meaning “foot (of the) mountain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pleasanton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name has nothing to do with “pleasant town.” It’s named after Gen. Alfred Pleasonton. The name was misspelled by a U.S. Postal Service worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pittsburg\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the Pittsburg Coal Co., which was named after the city in Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Point Reyes\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>An expedition led by Sebastian Vizcaíno passed the point on Jan 6, 1603, the Day of the Three Holy Kings. The expedition members found shelter in present-day Drakes Bay and named it Puerto de los Reyes. That name did not stick, but on maps Punta de los Reyes continued to be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Redwood City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There had been a forest and lumber industry nearby. The site has also been called Red Woods City, Red Woods Embarcadero and the Redwoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Richmond\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named Richmond in 1852. It’s a popular place name in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Bruno\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for St. Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Francisco\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was originally called Yerba Buena in the 1700s by Spanish-speaking explorers. It was officially changed to San Francisco in 1847. The namesake was Mission San Francisco de Asís a la Laguna de los Dolores or “The mission of our seraphic father Saint Francis of Assisi at the Lake of the Sorrows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Jose\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On November 29, 1777, \u003cem>Pueblo de San Jose\u003c/em> was founded as California’s first civilian settlement. This Pueblo, and eventually the city, were both named after Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Leandro\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city got its name from Arroyo de San Leandro. The name probably honors Saint Leander, archbishop of Seville.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Mateo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors St. Matthew, the evangelist and apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Pablo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors Paul the Apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Rafael\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name honors the archangel Raphael, the guardian angel of humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Ramon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name doesn’t honor a saint. It actually honors a sheep herder named Ramón. A creek was named after Ramón and then the city took that name. The “San” was added to make it conform to surrounding name conventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Saratoga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named because the waters of nearby Pacific Congress Spring look similar to Congress Spring in Saratoga, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Clara\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1769 the area was named in honor of Saint Clare of Assisi, co-founder of the Franciscan Order of Poor Clares.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Rosa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for either the Dominican St. Rose of Lima or for the Italian Franciscan St. Rose of Viterbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sausalito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish sauzalito means “little willow grove.” Earlier the area had been called Horseshoe Bay. It was first called Sausalito on land grants in 1826.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sonoma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In baptismal records from 1815, the name of the local Native American tribe was the “Chucuines o Sonomas.” In 1816, a botanist called them the “Sonomi.” According to the book, “California Place Names” by Erwin Gudde, it comes from a Patwin word for “nose.” Gudde writes there was either an Native American chief with a prominent nose, or a nose-shaped mountain. While the “valley of the moon” is poetic, Gudde finds it less credible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sunnyvale\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named by W. E. Crossman around 1900.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Tiburon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “shark” in Spanish. Punta de Tiburón, or “shark’s point,” was first mentioned in the diary of José Sánchez on July 6, 1823.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Treasure Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name was chosen in 1936 because it “perfectly expressed a glamorous, beautiful, almost fabulous island that would present the treasures of the world during the 1939 World’s Fair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Union City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Union City got its name from a steamboat called “The Union” owned by settlers John and William Horner. They established the settlement following the Gold Rush.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Vacaville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was named after Juan Manuel Vaca, who sold the land in the 1840s.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Vallejo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after a Monterey-born general, Mariano Vallejo. He laid out the city in 1850 and established the state capital there from 1851 to 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Walnut Creek\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1810 it was called Arroyo de los Nogales or “creek of the walnut trees” by Padre Viader. In 1834 land grants called the stream Arroyo de las Nueces.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Yerba Buena\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “good herb” in Spanish and refers to the sweet-scented creeper Micromeria chamissonis. The plant was found near Mountain Lake in San Francisco in 1776. By 1792 it became a place name. Before the island was called Yerba Buena Island, it was known as Isla de Alcatraces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post heavily references the book “California Place Names” by Erwin G.

He turned to the Bay Curious team for help, and so we got to work researching more than 70 Bay Area place names. Below is an interactive map and list to explore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Bay Area cities got their names \" aria-label=\"Locator map\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-fCyHX\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/fCyHX/4/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\" data-external=\"1\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alameda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “grove of poplar (or cottonwood) trees” or “tree-lined avenue.” By 1795, the southern part of the region was already referred to as la Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Albany\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When the town was incorporated in 1908, it took the name Ocean View, though it was jokingly known as O’Shean’s View. The name was changed the following year because a nearby section of Berkeley was also called Ocean View. The town became Albany because the first mayor, Frank J. Roberts, was born in Albany, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alcatraz\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “pelican.” The name Isla de Los Alcatraces was first given to what is now Yerba Buena Island because there were so many pelicans there. Later the name was transferred to the Alcatraz Island of today.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Angel Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Juan Manuel de Ayala named it Isla de los Ángeles in 1775.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Antioch\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1849 the place was called Smith’s Landing because it had been settled by twin brothers with the surname Smith. One of the brothers was a minister and invited a group of New Englanders to settle on his property. On July 4, 1851, the new citizens had a picnic and decided to rename the land Antioch, after a Biblical city in Syria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Atherton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town was named after the businessman Faxon D. Atherton, who first visited California in 1836. Years later he acquired 500 acres where the town now sits.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Benicia\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The land was to be named Francisca, after the wife of Gen. Mariano Vallejo. But when the chief magistrate of Yerba Buena registered the name for the town, he decided to call his growing settlement San Francisco. Francisca became too similar to San Francisco, and thus the name was changed to another one of Señora Vallejo’s names, Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Berkeley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On May 24, 1866, the trustees of the College of California chose the name Berkeley. Frederick Billings proposed the name, inspired by a poem from George Berkeley, bishop of Cloyne. Berkeley had written the poem in 1728 while sailing to Rhode Island with the ultimate goal of founding a school in Bermuda: “Westward the course of Empire takes its way / The four first acts already past, / A fifth shall close the drama with the day / Time’s noblest offspring is the last.” Less known is that Berkeley bought slaves to work on his plantation during his stay in Rhode Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Bolinas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834, Ignacio Martinez mentioned a valley that people call “Baulenes.” The name probably comes from a Coast Miwok word. The name was misspelled as Ballenas from 1852 to 1910 on Coast Survey charts, an accidental analogy to the Spanish word for whale. Then in 1896, George Davidson falsely assumed the bay had been named for Francisco de Bolaños from Sebastián Vizcaíno’s expedition. This caused the spelling to change to Bolanos and Boliñas. By 1873, the USGS adopted the spelling Bolinas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Burlingame\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named in 1868 by William Ralston. He named it after his friend, Anson Burlingame, a lawyer and politician. Notably, Burlingame had been President Abraham Lincoln’s U.S. minister to the Qing Empire in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Castro Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Guillermo Castro, a rancher.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Concord\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Salvio Pacheco, owner of the Monte del Diablo rancho, selected the site for a town in 1862. He named the settlement Todos Santos, but many of the new residents were from New England with Anglo sensibilities. By 1869, the town was known as Concord, probably referring to the Concord in Massachusetts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Cupertino\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town took the name from Cupertino Creek, which had been named for St. Joseph of Cupertino.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Daly City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John Daly arrived in California when he was 13 in the 1850s. His mother had died on the Panama Canal crossing. The boy found work on a dairy farm and rose quickly. By 1868 he owned 250 acres. After the 1906 earthquake, many San Franciscans took refuge on Daly’s dairy farm. When the land was incorporated in 1911, the town was named in his honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Danville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in the 1860s, possibly after Danville, Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Dublin\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>James Witt Dougherty bought a large parcel of land in the area. By the 1870s many Irish immigrants had moved nearby. It is rumored that Dougherty said “There are so many Irish here, you might as well call it Dublin.”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Bay Curious\u003c/a> is a podcast that answers your questions about the Bay Area.\n Subscribe on \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bay-curious/id1172473406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Podcasts\u003c/a>,\n \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/podcasts/500557090/bay-curious\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR One\u003c/a> or your favorite podcast platform.\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>El Cerrito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “little hill” in Spanish. The hill it refers to is actually in Albany and is now called Albany Hill. The first record of the name was when the area was referred to as Cerrito de San Antonio in 1820, possibly to honor Anthony of Padua, a patron saint of the Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Emeryville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for Joseph Emery, who came to California in 1850 and bought 185 acres in 1859. He is known for overseeing the dredging of the Oakland estuary. He was also the president of the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fairfield\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In the 1850s, a famous clipper ship captain, Robert H. Waterman, moved to the area, where he lived in a house modeled after the prow of a ship. When he gave the land up in order to found a new city, he named it after his hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Foster City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after T. Jack Foster, who gave land to the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fremont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John C. Fremont was a soldier, explorer and politician. He was also the first Republican candidate to run for president in 1856.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Gilroy\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after the Scottish sailor, John Gilroy who was not actually named John Gilroy. His name was John Cameron. He went by Gilroy, his mothers maiden name, because he’d been a minor when he left home and was in danger of being sent back. In 1814 he was left ashore in Monterey. He became one of the first non-Spanish non-native permanent settlers in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Half Moon Bay\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for the shape of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hayward\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city is named after William Hayward, who opened a hotel there in 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hercules\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s actually named after explosives. In 1881, the California Powder Works company began producing dynamite out of the area. It made a product called Hercules Powder. When the town became incorporated, community leaders decided to name it Hercules.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hillsborough\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The former owner of the area was W. D. M. Howard, who was from Hillsborough, New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Lafayette\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who fought in the U.S. War of Independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Larkspur\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was subdivided by Charles W. Wright in 1887, and his wife, Georgina, named the town. She allegedly saw flowers blooming on a hill and thought the lupine was larkspur.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Livermore\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the English sailor, Robert Livermore, who came to California in the 1820s, became a Mexican citizen and got a huge land grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Altos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “the heights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Gatos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “cats.” The Santa Cruz Mountains were once called Cuesta de los Gatos. When the railroad created a station nearby in 1878, it was named Los Gatos Creek.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Martinez\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the landowner Ignacio Martínez, who had been comandante at the Presidio of San Francisco from 1822-1827.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Menlo Park\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There were two brothers-in-law, Dennis J.

Between their two ranches they built an arched gate with the inscription “Menlo Park.” When the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad reached the place in 1863, they adopted the name for the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mill Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834 a sawmill was built in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Milpitas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Mexican Spanish milpas means “cornfields.” The family of Máximo Martínez, as well as local Native Americans, had once worked in nearby cornfields.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003ca id=\"moraga\">\u003c/a>Moraga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Joaquín Moraga, a soldier in the San Francisco Company.

According to some, Napa is Southern Patwin for “grizzly bear.” Others think it comes from the Eastern and Central Pomo, who have the word naphó, which means “people family.” A third theory is that it comes from the Suisun Patwin and could mean “near mother,” “near home” or “motherland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Newark\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1876, the South Pacific Coast Railroad Co. named the railroad station after the New Jersey home of A.E. Davis and his brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Nicasio\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s believed that Nicasio was a Native American who was baptized with the name of one of several saints named Nicasius.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Novato\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name is probably from a chief of the Hookooeko or Miwok. Historians believe the chief had probably been baptized with the name of St. Novatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Oakland\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish times, part of the area had been called Encinal del Temescal or “Oak Grove by the Sweathouse” because of a beautiful oak grove. When the area was incorporated as a town, the name was spontaneously chosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Orinda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The sheriff and landowner William Camron was married to Alice M. Camron. Mrs. Camron chose to name their home in honor of her favorite poet, Katherine Fowler Philips, who was known as “The Matchless Orinda.”*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pacifica\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Because the city is next to the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Palo Alto\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Palo means stick in Spanish, but in Spanish California it meant tree. It may refer to a specific redwood tree seen by the Anza expedition, that “appears from a distance like a tower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pescadero\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish it means “fishing place” because people caught salmon there.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Petaluma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Coast Miwok, péta lúuma means “hillside back” or “hillside ridge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Piedmont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was inspired either by the French word piedmont or the Italian word piemonte, both meaning “foot (of the) mountain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pleasanton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name has nothing to do with “pleasant town.” It’s named after Gen. Alfred Pleasonton. The name was misspelled by a U.S. Postal Service worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pittsburg\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the Pittsburg Coal Co., which was named after the city in Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Point Reyes\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>An expedition led by Sebastian Vizcaíno passed the point on Jan 6, 1603, the Day of the Three Holy Kings. The expedition members found shelter in present-day Drakes Bay and named it Puerto de los Reyes. That name did not stick, but on maps Punta de los Reyes continued to be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Redwood City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There had been a forest and lumber industry nearby.

It was officially changed to San Francisco in 1847. The namesake was Mission San Francisco de Asís a la Laguna de los Dolores or “The mission of our seraphic father Saint Francis of Assisi at the Lake of the Sorrows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Jose\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On November 29, 1777, \u003cem>Pueblo de San Jose\u003c/em> was founded as California’s first civilian settlement. This Pueblo, and eventually the city, were both named after Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Leandro\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city got its name from Arroyo de San Leandro. The name probably honors Saint Leander, archbishop of Seville.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Mateo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors St. Matthew, the evangelist and apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Pablo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors Paul the Apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n What do you wonder about the Bay Area, its culture or people that you want KQED to investigate?\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Ask Bay Curious.\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Rafael\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name honors the archangel Raphael, the guardian angel of humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Ramon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name doesn’t honor a saint. It actually honors a sheep herder named Ramón. A creek was named after Ramón and then the city took that name. The “San” was added to make it conform to surrounding name conventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Saratoga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named because the waters of nearby Pacific Congress Spring look similar to Congress Spring in Saratoga, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Clara\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1769 the area was named in honor of Saint Clare of Assisi, co-founder of the Franciscan Order of Poor Clares.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Rosa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for either the Dominican St. Rose of Lima or for the Italian Franciscan St. Rose of Viterbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sausalito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish sauzalito means “little willow grove.” Earlier the area had been called Horseshoe Bay.

While the “valley of the moon” is poetic, Gudde finds it less credible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sunnyvale\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named by W. E. Crossman around 1900.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Tiburon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “shark” in Spanish. Punta de Tiburón, or “shark’s point,” was first mentioned in the diary of José Sánchez on July 6, 1823.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Treasure Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name was chosen in 1936 because it “perfectly expressed a glamorous, beautiful, almost fabulous island that would present the treasures of the world during the 1939 World’s Fair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Union City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Union City got its name from a steamboat called “The Union” owned by settlers John and William Horner.

He laid out the city in 1850 and established the state capital there from 1851 to 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Walnut Creek\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1810 it was called Arroyo de los Nogales or “creek of the walnut trees” by Padre Viader. In 1834 land grants called the stream Arroyo de las Nueces.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Yerba Buena\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “good herb” in Spanish and refers to the sweet-scented creeper Micromeria chamissonis. The plant was found near Mountain Lake in San Francisco in 1776. By 1792 it became a place name. Before the island was called Yerba Buena Island, it was known as Isla de Alcatraces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post heavily references the book “California Place Names” by Erwin G.

He can tell by swirls of spalting — a fungus — that a piece of wood has color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rot and the worms will both cause there to be different colors in the wood,” he explains. “And that's one of the things that I can't see, but that's one of the things I always inquire and ask about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11674404\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11674404\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31406_WurtzelImage5-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students using a lathe in George Wurtzel's woodshop. \u003ccite>(Hannah Kingsley-Ma/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wurtzel is the artist behind many of the objects in this gallery, but he’s also an instructor here at Enchanted Hills Camp, which is owned by \u003ca href=\"http://lighthouse-sf.org/\">LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired\u003c/a>.

I was making these kind of paintings that involve really detailed engraving; [it] would take me months to make a tiny work. And I was also making books. And my instant reaction was, I won't be able to make either of those. But after a period of thinking about it, I realized, well, I just can start making paintings in a different way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she has stayed away from power tools since her vision dropped. It’s one of the main reasons why she came to Enchanted Hills Camp today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Wurtzel] does really simple things,” d'Evie says. “Like, he tied a rubber band on one end so I couldn't use my hand past that point, which means it wouldn't be cut off. They are really basic things! But doing that, I knew I had the framework to be able to just give it a go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing I always tell people that I teach is just how to feel confident with yourself,” Wurtzel says. “Your eyeballs don’t run a saw ... your eyeballs don’t create a project. Your brain does all those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11674405\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11674405\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31407_WurtzelImage6-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A click ruler, a measuring tool used in the woodshop at Enchanted Hills Camp. \u003ccite>(Hannah Kingsley-Ma/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The only thing that’s noticeably different in this woodshop are the measuring tools, called click rulers. “It essentially is a round pipe with another piece of material that slides in and out of the round pipe,” Wurtzel explains. “The piece that slides in and out is a piece of threaded rod with 16 threads to the inch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fayen d'Evie says she wants to broaden the way in which we experience art, informed in part by her life as a visually impaired person. Today she is using a click ruler to make canes for an upcoming sound installation. Some are jagged, some are smooth, and one looks like the end of a honey dipper. And she’s scraping them along the floor, along the furniture, along the walls of the gallery. Imagine it like a kind of auditory or sensory dance piece. You’ll be able to listen to and feel the movement of these canes, from their big swooping sounds, their rattling vibrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'Evie is an established artist. But a lot of Wurtzel's students are younger.

A big part of his job is making students feel comfortable in this space. Unlike him, many of them are losing their vision later in life — like \u003ca href=\"https://fayendevie.com/\">Fayen d’Evie\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says when she started to lose her vision, it impacted the way she made art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went through a period a few years ago where I got quite depressed,” d’Evie remembers. “Because I was really scared ... I was making these kind of paintings that involve really detailed engraving; [it] would take me months to make a tiny work. And I was also making books. And my instant reaction was, I won't be able to make either of those. But after a period of thinking about it, I realized, well, I just can start making paintings in a different way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she has stayed away from power tools since her vision dropped. It’s one of the main reasons why she came to Enchanted Hills Camp today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Wurtzel] does really simple things,” d'Evie says. “Like, he tied a rubber band on one end so I couldn't use my hand past that point, which means it wouldn't be cut off. They are really basic things! But doing that, I knew I had the framework to be able to just give it a go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing I always tell people that I teach is just how to feel confident with yourself,” Wurtzel says. “Your eyeballs don’t run a saw ... your eyeballs don’t create a project.

Today she is using a click ruler to make canes for an upcoming sound installation. Some are jagged, some are smooth, and one looks like the end of a honey dipper. And she’s scraping them along the floor, along the furniture, along the walls of the gallery. Imagine it like a kind of auditory or sensory dance piece. You’ll be able to listen to and feel the movement of these canes, from their big swooping sounds, their rattling vibrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'Evie is an established artist. But a lot of Wurtzel's students are younger. Besides coming for the group bonfires and the swimming, they are here to use tools for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love teaching kids that you shouldn't let people tell you what to do that don't have to live with the consequences of it.

I think there could be another way to deal with that. The violence which happens in spaces like that [when students get violent] is not something that's naturally going to come out of people. But when you put people in a situation that's not suitable for them to survive, where they're denied their humanity, denied access to anything that's really important to them, they’re going to respond to those conditions in ways that they normally wouldn't respond. Sometimes we get this stereotype that people in [jail] are animals that are barbaric. These are just people who are trying to figure out how to survive in a place that is not fit for humans to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On seeing your students (some in their 50s and 60s) finally graduate, and get a high school diploma in prison:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Close to 2,500 people have graduated from Five Keys.

I just took that extra time with her, because the more we talked, the more I could see this opening up. She just was very honest, very raw. I think she was clinging to [going to the high school] because it was a time when she could feel self-worth. One of her biggest struggles is self-esteem, just not liking herself, feeling that she’s letting her children and life mentors down. But in school she's very smart. At school, she was having all these teachers validate her intelligence. That became a rock for her.

Nearly \u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ecp.pdf\">70 percent of people in jail nationally don't have a high school diploma\u003c/a>. If you invest upfront in their education, you're greatly reducing their chances of coming back there and increasing their chances of getting a good job. And all of that has a big cost savings for the whole community, not to mention empowering people, repairing families, and helping people make those connections that they need and find the support that they need to thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11674992\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11674992 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-800x443.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-800x443.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-160x89.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-1020x565.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-1200x665.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-1180x654.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-960x532.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-672x372.jpg 672w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-1038x576.jpg 1038w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-240x133.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-375x208.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31439_student-in-cap-and-gown-smiling_v1_current-qut-520x288.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A soon-to-be-graduate of Five Keys Charter School waits for his turn to get receive his diploma. \u003ccite>(Image from \"The Corridor\")\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What they hope people will take away from the film: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wunderlich: I just hope people understand that the folks going through these experiences are not the sum of their mistakes. They’re people. They’re mothers, fathers, grandchildren, grandparents. They’re really like all of us, and they have so many cards stacked against them. Also, I’m really hoping people will understand how childhood trauma has this huge ripple effect. The vast majority of folks we interviewed in the jail had been abused as children, or had grown up in the foster care system, or had parents who are addicts. Recovering from that trauma is a huge lifelong process. It does require all of us to invest in supporting them. If we can’t do it in our public schools, then this is what is going to happen: It’s going to come later on down the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amir: I actually tried to not be included in the film for the first year and a half of the shooting. I didn't ask for any of the cameras to be in my class. But now, I feel that what the film does extremely well is that it dignifies the experience of the men and women instead. Instead of having that stereotype [of] a violent person, a beast, an inmate, you get a chance to see more of who they are and understand how someone can end up in a space like that. And I think that's extremely important. The idea of empathy in our society. I think we need to tap into it a little bit more. This is a film that does that in a very beautiful way. It’s not preachy, it’s not cliche. This is who people are.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The vast majority of folks we interviewed in the jail had been abused as children, or had grown up in the foster care system, or had parents who are addicts. Recovering from that trauma is a huge lifelong process. It does require all of us to invest in supporting them.

Instead of having that stereotype [of] a violent person, a beast, an inmate, you get a chance to see more of who they are and understand how someone can end up in a space like that. And I think that's extremely important. The idea of empathy in our society. I think we need to tap into it a little bit more. This is a film that does that in a very beautiful way.

These men were dragging their small lifeboats across the hard sand, through mounds of driftwood, and rowing out to shipwrecks by hand, in swells that could reach as high as 12 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve ever seen some of the stormy conditions in the Point Reyes Seashore when we have pounding surf coming in,” says Dell’Osso, “it’s frightening to think that they did that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11659487\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11659487\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1261\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-160x105.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-800x525.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-1020x670.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-1180x775.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-960x631.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-240x158.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-375x246.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30226_Launching-lifeboat-7930-qut-520x342.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A surfboat launch at Drakes Bay in Point Reyes, circa 1900 \u003ccite>(Point Reyes National Seashore Archives)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Often, when the waves prevented the surfmen’s rowboat from reaching a sinking ship, they would have to rescue the passengers one by one using a “breeches buoy”: a pair of thick, wide pants sewn into a life-ring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was into this that exhausted, freezing, wet survivors would slide their legs and be hauled over to safety, high above the raging waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11659319\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11659319\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30203_DSC_1049-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An original “breeches buoy” in the Point Reyes Lifeboat Station at Chimney Rock \u003ccite>(Carly Severn/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When they weren’t making rescues, these men were relentlessly training — ready to launch themselves into the ocean at a moment’s notice.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
