And under a set of proposed rules approved Monday, that's likely to mean a very restricted salmon season for both commercial fishers and recreational anglers alike. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pacific Marine Fishery Council, the agency responsible for setting ocean fishing regulations for California, Oregon and Washington, on Monday adopted \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/E6a_Sup_STT_Table_1_Com_Alts_2017_031317.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a set of proposals\u003c/a> that would shut down the commercial and recreational catch of chinook salmon on the state's northernmost coast and off central and southern Oregon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed rules aim to limit damage to two imperiled runs of chinook: the Klamath River fall run and the Sacramento River winter run. Both have suffered direct and indirect impacts of drought, habitat loss and impaired flows of cold water in their spawning and rearing areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposals -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcouncil.org/2017/03/46838/draft2017-sal-mgmt-alts-public-review/\">a set of season alternatives\u003c/a> that are now out for public review before a final decision on the season is made next month -- would allow only one to two months of commercial fishing on the California coast from southern Humboldt County to the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fishery managers hope that closing the season in areas far to the north will protect the estimated 54,000 adult Klamath River fall run chinook currently in the Pacific -- the lowest number in a record going back to about 1980. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Season dates further south are likewise designed to minimize impacts on the endangered Sacramento winter run, whose spawning numbers plunged to about 1,500 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under fishery council proposals, commercial fishing in the zone from southern Humboldt County to Point Arena in Mendocino County would be open only in September. From Point Arena to Pigeon Point, on the San Mateo Coast, fishing would open between Aug. 1 and the end of September. From Pigeon Point south to the Mexican border, commercial fishing would open only in May and June. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For comparison's sake, fishing along most of the coast south of Humboldt County was open for three to four months in 2014 and 2015 -- both years marked by forecasts of a robust population of the commercially important Sacramento River fall run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a pretty pathetic scrap of a season,\" Dave Bitts, a commercial fisherman from Humboldt County, said in describing the 2017 season. \"But if there's fish there when it's open, hopefully some people will turn it to advantage. Otherwise, I suspect a lot of people will be looking for something else to do this summer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bitts, who serves on a PFMC salmon advisory panel, said he's getting ready to work on retrieving crab traps in the waters off Eureka that were buried during this winter's storms. He said he expected other fishermen to keep fishing crab this year -- the state's season runs to June 30 south of Mendocino County and to July 15 from Mendocino north -- \"as long as they can make a dollar at it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bitts said that those who depend on salmon for a living don't have a lot of choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some people are going to hope tuna show up,\" Bitts said. \"In our part of the world, there's not a lot else. ... There really is not a fishery or even a complex of fisheries in the summertime that will replace salmon when salmon fall short like this. It makes things bleak.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposals for \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/E6a_Sup_STT_Table_2_Rec_Alts_2017_031317.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recreational fishing\u003c/a> also sharply limit the season available to anglers. In the area from the San Mateo coast through Monterey Bay, anglers will get to fish only from April 1 through July 15. The season typically lasts until the end of October. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only region with a substantially intact recreational fishing season is the one stretching from Point Arena to San Mateo County's Pigeon Point. Those waters would be open for all but two weeks of the season from April 1 through Oct. 31. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason the season in Monterey are so short is they have the highest contact with the winter chinook,\" said Marc Gorelnik, a PFMC member and chairman of the Bay Area's Coastside Fishing Club. \"San Francisco does not have anywhere near the winter-run impact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gorelnik added that managers are trying to strike a balance for recreational fishing -- giving the maximum number of anglers the opportunity to fish chinook while doing the least harm to stressed fisheries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's not just the most seriously troubled chinook runs that are casting a shadow on this year's salmon season. Bitts, the Humboldt County fisherman, pointed to the modest estimates for this year's Sacramento River fall run chinook as another reason for concern. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fall run is heavily bolstered by state and federal hatcheries and has produced fabulous-sounding numbers -- about 1.5 million adult chinook in 2003 and 868,000 as recently as 2013. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento fall chinook also crashed to just 40,000 in 2009, and its numbers have been declining since that 2013 spike. This year's forecast, derived largely from the number of 2-year-old fish that returned to spawn last year, is 230,700. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The thing that makes this season a little problematic is the overall abundance prediction is pretty low, as well,\" Bitts said. \"Now there's a reason to think that may be a conservative prediction, but we don't know. If there's twice as many fish as predicted, [the fishing season] could turn out to be worthwhile for some people. But if there's really only 200,000 Sacramento fish in the ocean, it's probably not going to be very good fishing.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those waters would be open for all but two weeks of the season from April 1 through Oct. 31. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason the season in Monterey are so short is they have the highest contact with the winter chinook,\" said Marc Gorelnik, a PFMC member and chairman of the Bay Area's Coastside Fishing Club. \"San Francisco does not have anywhere near the winter-run impact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gorelnik added that managers are trying to strike a balance for recreational fishing -- giving the maximum number of anglers the opportunity to fish chinook while doing the least harm to stressed fisheries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's not just the most seriously troubled chinook runs that are casting a shadow on this year's salmon season. Bitts, the Humboldt County fisherman, pointed to the modest estimates for this year's Sacramento River fall run chinook as another reason for concern. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fall run is heavily bolstered by state and federal hatcheries and has produced fabulous-sounding numbers -- about 1.5 million adult chinook in 2003 and 868,000 as recently as 2013. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento fall chinook also crashed to just 40,000 in 2009, and its numbers have been declining since that 2013 spike. This year's forecast, derived largely from the number of 2-year-old fish that returned to spawn last year, is 230,700. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The thing that makes this season a little problematic is the overall abundance prediction is pretty low, as well,\" Bitts said. \"Now there's a reason to think that may be a conservative prediction, but we don't know. If there's twice as many fish as predicted, [the fishing season] could turn out to be worthwhile for some people. But if there's really only 200,000 Sacramento fish in the ocean, it's probably not going to be very good fishing.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:50 a.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> The Caltrans contractor hired to knock down the once-unnoticed, now-troublesome Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur has run into a problem: Its wrecking ball was not up to the job of demolishing the span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The take-down project began Monday. The Monterey Herald's Tommy Wright \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereyherald.com/general-news/20170313/wrecking-ball-problems-cause-pfeiffer-canyon-bridge-demolition-delay\" target=\"_blank\">has the details\u003c/a> on what didn't happen and why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The contractors tasked with the demolition had trouble getting the crane’s free-fall function operating properly as they tried to slam the wrecking ball into the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crane, in its current configuration, will not free fall the wrecking ball with the required force needed,” said Susana Cruz, a Caltrans spokeswoman, in an email. “New parts have been ordered and should arrive (Tuesday).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Work could resume on the demolition as soon as Wednesday morning, depending on the delivery and assembly of the new parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Galarza, Caltrans’ structure representative for the project, said crews disconnected the bridge’s metal railing in preparation for the demolition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything’s in place for it to go, but some of these new cranes have a lot of different safety features on them and they’re all computerized,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galarza said the crew has specific locations identified where they can expose the primary reinforcement and cut it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That should assist with the bridge dropping in a location we want it to,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as crews work out all of the kinks, Galarza said the demolition should take two days at most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than swing the 6,000-pound wrecking ball with the crane’s 305-foot arm, the operator dropped it on the bridge from about 5-feet high once work got started at about 12:30 p.m. Monday. By dropping the ball instead of swinging it, crews avoided nearby power lines. Jim Shivers, a Caltrans spokesman, said it’s also part of the strategy to bring the structure down in a controlled, methodical way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s precision when we build these things and there’s precision when we take them down,” he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Monday): \u003c/strong>Caltrans went to work Monday tearing down a Big Sur bridge that began to collapse last month after a long siege of heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews positioned a heavy crane near the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge on Monday morning, and just after noon began the mind-numbingly repetitive process of picking up and dropping a wrecking ball on the span to break it up. It looked like it would take awhile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/WrightScribe/status/841386057862070272\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The loss of the bridge, closed Feb. 15 as mudslides threatened its supports and the roadway began to buckle, makes it virtually certain that Highway 1 will remained closed to through travel until sometime in 2018. The internationally known highway is the main route for the estimated 3 million tourists who visit the area each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pfeiffer Canyon span itself is anything but an architectural marvel. It's a short, plain vanilla highway bridge that most travelers probably never noticed as they cruised between Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, just north of the bridge, and classic tourist spots like the Nepenthe restaurant, south of the span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what the bridge lacks in \"\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/bYsztoaU9Ls?t=1m1s\" target=\"_blank\">Then Came Bronson\u003c/a>\" panache, it makes up for in strategic location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lisa Krieger of the San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">noted in a report\u003c/a> this past Friday, the span's closure last month effectively split the remote Big Sur community in two -- at the same time that a series of major slides had shut down Highway 1 both to the north and south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re severed in half … with two of the most amazing cul-de-sacs in the world,” Kirk Gafill, manager of Nepenthe, told Krieger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, volunteers worked with Monterey County officials to organize an airlift of food, water and other supplies to several hundred people stranded south of the crippled bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans has now managed to partially reopen Highway 1 south of the bridge, allowing shipments of fuel and other necessities to be trucked into the affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway agency is estimating that crews will finish clearing a major slide between Carmel and Big Sur by midweek. It says three big slides to the south -- at Lucia, Gorda and Ragged Point -- will take another week to clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the only means of travel for those who want to get from the north side of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge to the south side is likely to be on foot -- by means of a steep, half-mile trail built in recent days by the California Conservation Corps, state parks workers and local volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the remote community, normally overrun by out-of-towners who \u003ca href=\"https://bigsurkate.wordpress.com/2017/03/04/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">even now are besieging locals\u003c/a> with questions about whether their summer vacations will be ruined, aren't all welcome. From \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Krieger's report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Mother Nature has emerged, evoking a time when the region was an unexplored and unmapped wilderness. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am hearing the creek running down the canyon below us for the first time in my life.There are no cars, no people,” said Erin Gafill, a landscape artist. “Waking up this morning, I heard five distinct bird calls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors stroll down the center of Highway 1, exchanging greetings. “It’s like having Main Street right here,” said Big Sur Fire Brigade medical captain Jeannie Alexander. “We’re taking the time to breathe and just be with Big Sur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is anxiety over the future. The foot path will only help the able-bodied, during daylight hours. And it may not be enough to support all the employees needed to staff the famed retreats.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

The Monterey Herald's Tommy Wright \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereyherald.com/general-news/20170313/wrecking-ball-problems-cause-pfeiffer-canyon-bridge-demolition-delay\" target=\"_blank\">has the details\u003c/a> on what didn't happen and why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The contractors tasked with the demolition had trouble getting the crane’s free-fall function operating properly as they tried to slam the wrecking ball into the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crane, in its current configuration, will not free fall the wrecking ball with the required force needed,” said Susana Cruz, a Caltrans spokeswoman, in an email. “New parts have been ordered and should arrive (Tuesday).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Work could resume on the demolition as soon as Wednesday morning, depending on the delivery and assembly of the new parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Galarza, Caltrans’ structure representative for the project, said crews disconnected the bridge’s metal railing in preparation for the demolition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything’s in place for it to go, but some of these new cranes have a lot of different safety features on them and they’re all computerized,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galarza said the crew has specific locations identified where they can expose the primary reinforcement and cut it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That should assist with the bridge dropping in a location we want it to,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as crews work out all of the kinks, Galarza said the demolition should take two days at most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than swing the 6,000-pound wrecking ball with the crane’s 305-foot arm, the operator dropped it on the bridge from about 5-feet high once work got started at about 12:30 p.m. Monday. By dropping the ball instead of swinging it, crews avoided nearby power lines. Jim Shivers, a Caltrans spokesman, said it’s also part of the strategy to bring the structure down in a controlled, methodical way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s precision when we build these things and there’s precision when we take them down,” he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Monday): \u003c/strong>Caltrans went to work Monday tearing down a Big Sur bridge that began to collapse last month after a long siege of heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews positioned a heavy crane near the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge on Monday morning, and just after noon began the mind-numbingly repetitive process of picking up and dropping a wrecking ball on the span to break it up. It looked like it would take awhile.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The internationally known highway is the main route for the estimated 3 million tourists who visit the area each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pfeiffer Canyon span itself is anything but an architectural marvel. It's a short, plain vanilla highway bridge that most travelers probably never noticed as they cruised between Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, just north of the bridge, and classic tourist spots like the Nepenthe restaurant, south of the span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what the bridge lacks in \"\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/bYsztoaU9Ls?t=1m1s\" target=\"_blank\">Then Came Bronson\u003c/a>\" panache, it makes up for in strategic location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lisa Krieger of the San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">noted in a report\u003c/a> this past Friday, the span's closure last month effectively split the remote Big Sur community in two -- at the same time that a series of major slides had shut down Highway 1 both to the north and south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re severed in half … with two of the most amazing cul-de-sacs in the world,” Kirk Gafill, manager of Nepenthe, told Krieger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, volunteers worked with Monterey County officials to organize an airlift of food, water and other supplies to several hundred people stranded south of the crippled bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans has now managed to partially reopen Highway 1 south of the bridge, allowing shipments of fuel and other necessities to be trucked into the affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway agency is estimating that crews will finish clearing a major slide between Carmel and Big Sur by midweek. It says three big slides to the south -- at Lucia, Gorda and Ragged Point -- will take another week to clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the only means of travel for those who want to get from the north side of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge to the south side is likely to be on foot -- by means of a steep, half-mile trail built in recent days by the California Conservation Corps, state parks workers and local volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the remote community, normally overrun by out-of-towners who \u003ca href=\"https://bigsurkate.wordpress.com/2017/03/04/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">even now are besieging locals\u003c/a> with questions about whether their summer vacations will be ruined, aren't all welcome. From \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Krieger's report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Mother Nature has emerged, evoking a time when the region was an unexplored and unmapped wilderness. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am hearing the creek running down the canyon below us for the first time in my life.There are no cars, no people,” said Erin Gafill, a landscape artist. “Waking up this morning, I heard five distinct bird calls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors stroll down the center of Highway 1, exchanging greetings. “It’s like having Main Street right here,” said Big Sur Fire Brigade medical captain Jeannie Alexander. “We’re taking the time to breathe and just be with Big Sur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is anxiety over the future. The foot path will only help the able-bodied, during daylight hours. And it may not be enough to support all the employees needed to staff the famed retreats.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It's difficult to verify how much Urban Ore actually diverts from the landfill, but even if it's only a fraction of what the owners claim, it would make the business a major cog in Berkeley’s thriving recycling ecosystem.

New analysis of census data by the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.project-equity.org/communities/small-business-closure-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Project Equity\u003c/a> finds that in the Bay Area, boomers hold nearly half of all privately owned businesses with employees.

By separating reusable items, from metal and chemicals, there is less cross-contamination. The trash can be resold, the scrap metal recycled and the chemicals disposed of safely. “I call it the iron law of recycling,” Knapp said. “The more categories the more money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2000, the couple bought Urban Ore’s spacious warehouse.

If only the couple could somehow transfer the company to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alison Lingane is co-founder of Project Equity, a 3-year-old nonprofit that aims to help companies move to employee ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people aren't aware that employee ownership is an option,\" Lingane said. \"That they have a potential buyer right there under their nose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lingane thinks employee ownership could be a great way to keep baby boomer businesses and the income they generate local. Project Equity crunched census numbers and found that over 60,000 businesses in the Bay Area are owned by aging boomers. The nonprofit is working with Urban Ore, which Lingane hopes can be a model for other entrepreneurs getting ready to retire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we going to sit back and let these businesses either quietly go away or be consolidated -- bought by out-of-area buyers, so wealth becomes concentrated? Or are we going to take this opportunity to keep at least a chunk of them locally owned and deepen their roots by transitioning them to employee ownership?” Lingane asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said American business owners are unfamiliar with how to transfer power to their workers. With Lingane’s guidance, employees are preparing to use Urban Ore’s equity to take out a loan and buy the company. It would become a worker-owned co-op like Rainbow Grocery or Arizmendi Bakery. There would still be a similar management structure, but workers would share in both the profits and the decision-making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shoulders of Giants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11353205\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 503px\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-11353205\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher Sprague, receiving manager, says it would be great for employees to have greater ownership of Urban Ore.\" width=\"503\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher Sprague, receiving manager at Urban Ore, says it would be great for employees to have greater ownership of the business. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Max Wechsler, Urban Ore’s assistant manager, is excited to keep the original owners’ vision going. “At night I read stuff that they’ve written,” Wechsler said. “They’re such valuable resources.

By separating reusable items, from metal and chemicals, there is less cross-contamination. The trash can be resold, the scrap metal recycled and the chemicals disposed of safely. “I call it the iron law of recycling,” Knapp said. “The more categories the more money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2000, the couple bought Urban Ore’s spacious warehouse.

If only the couple could somehow transfer the company to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alison Lingane is co-founder of Project Equity, a 3-year-old nonprofit that aims to help companies move to employee ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people aren't aware that employee ownership is an option,\" Lingane said. \"That they have a potential buyer right there under their nose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lingane thinks employee ownership could be a great way to keep baby boomer businesses and the income they generate local. Project Equity crunched census numbers and found that over 60,000 businesses in the Bay Area are owned by aging boomers. The nonprofit is working with Urban Ore, which Lingane hopes can be a model for other entrepreneurs getting ready to retire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we going to sit back and let these businesses either quietly go away or be consolidated -- bought by out-of-area buyers, so wealth becomes concentrated? Or are we going to take this opportunity to keep at least a chunk of them locally owned and deepen their roots by transitioning them to employee ownership?” Lingane asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said American business owners are unfamiliar with how to transfer power to their workers. With Lingane’s guidance, employees are preparing to use Urban Ore’s equity to take out a loan and buy the company. It would become a worker-owned co-op like Rainbow Grocery or Arizmendi Bakery. There would still be a similar management structure, but workers would share in both the profits and the decision-making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shoulders of Giants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11353205\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 503px\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-11353205\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher Sprague, receiving manager, says it would be great for employees to have greater ownership of Urban Ore.\" width=\"503\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/Chris-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher Sprague, receiving manager at Urban Ore, says it would be great for employees to have greater ownership of the business. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Max Wechsler, Urban Ore’s assistant manager, is excited to keep the original owners’ vision going. “At night I read stuff that they’ve written,” Wechsler said. “They’re such valuable resources.

Six months after the incident the federal agency has yet to close its investigation, according to Deborah McKelvy, a staff assistant at the federal agency's Law Enforcement and Investigations unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the state's report provides some of the first details about the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiersma was ejected from the cab of the water tender as it rolled over and down a hillside embankment. The crash broke his ribs and one of his shoulder blades as well as bruising his spleen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forest Service notified Cal/OSHA four days after the incident, and Scott Harvey, president of Industrial Defense Development, has yet to speak with investigators for each of the agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two contractors can either pay the fines or appeal them. So far they haven't done either, according to Cal/OSHA spokesman Frank Polizzi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey and Ian Czirban, who runs Czirban Concrete Construction, have not returned calls for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Soberanes Fire burned for several months, charring more than 132,000 acres.

The largest, for $13,500, was because Czirban failed to make sure Reagan was wearing a seat belt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a result, the employee received fatal injuries when the bulldozer rolled over,\" the Cal/OSHA citation stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That correlates with a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/05/soberanes-fire-bulldozer-operator-killed/\" target=\"_blank\">preliminary Cal Fire report\u003c/a> that found that Reagan was ejected from the bulldozer as it tipped over on a steep embankment, that agency's investigators said, possibly because he wasn't wearing a seat belt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire said that Reagan died nearly instantly after being pinned to the ground as the bulldozer turned over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Information on Water Tender Injury\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Czirban's contract was with Cal Fire, Industrial Defense Development was working for the U.S. Forest Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal/OSHA has issued $6,000 in fines against that firm. Its largest fine was for not reporting the injury to the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forest Service has revealed very little about the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/20/another-private-contractor-under-investigation-in-soberanes-fire-injury/\">water tender rollover\u003c/a> that injured Tiersma. Six months after the incident the federal agency has yet to close its investigation, according to Deborah McKelvy, a staff assistant at the federal agency's Law Enforcement and Investigations unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the state's report provides some of the first details about the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiersma was ejected from the cab of the water tender as it rolled over and down a hillside embankment. The crash broke his ribs and one of his shoulder blades as well as bruising his spleen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forest Service notified Cal/OSHA four days after the incident, and Scott Harvey, president of Industrial Defense Development, has yet to speak with investigators for each of the agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two contractors can either pay the fines or appeal them. So far they haven't done either, according to Cal/OSHA spokesman Frank Polizzi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey and Ian Czirban, who runs Czirban Concrete Construction, have not returned calls for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Soberanes Fire burned for several months, charring more than 132,000 acres. Investigators say it was ignited by an illegal campfire on July 22.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

How and why the dam’s main spillway failed, whether state and federal officials and independent consultants were complacent about the potential dangers of an emergency spillway system that proved to be vulnerable to erosion, whether the episode reveals wider inspection and oversight problems at dams throughout the state — the digging into all those questions and many more will be going on for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we know now, a month after workers discovered a huge hole had opened up in the main spillway just as managers needed to ramp up releases to accommodate a torrent of storm-fed runoff, is that we’ve witnessed an epic spectacle of destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/flowinguphill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Someone\u003c/a> out in the Twitterverse quoted a poem to me after looking at some images of the spillway, the obliteration of which was only fully visible Monday after the Department of Water Resources halted flows down the broken structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poem is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/core-poems/detail/46565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ozymandias\u003c/a>,” by Percy Bysshe Shelley, a brief reflection on the human delusion of omnipotence and immortality.

How and why the dam’s main spillway failed, whether state and federal officials and independent consultants were complacent about the potential dangers of an emergency spillway system that proved to be vulnerable to erosion, whether the episode reveals wider inspection and oversight problems at dams throughout the state — the digging into all those questions and many more will be going on for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we know now, a month after workers discovered a huge hole had opened up in the main spillway just as managers needed to ramp up releases to accommodate a torrent of storm-fed runoff, is that we’ve witnessed an epic spectacle of destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/flowinguphill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Someone\u003c/a> out in the Twitterverse quoted a poem to me after looking at some images of the spillway, the obliteration of which was only fully visible Monday after the Department of Water Resources halted flows down the broken structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poem is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/core-poems/detail/46565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ozymandias\u003c/a>,” by Percy Bysshe Shelley, a brief reflection on the human delusion of omnipotence and immortality.

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.
