Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

Venado — which we’ll say unofficially appears to be one of the 10 wettest locations in California — has gotten 75 inches of rain since Oct. 1, 2015 and 21.76 inches so far in March.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Middle Peak weather station on Mount Tamalpais picked up 8.9 inches. The Marin Municipal Water District reservoirs, largely dependent on Mount Tam rainfall, are 100 percent full.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In the Santa Cruz Mountains, Ben Lomond got 7.81 inches of rain and Mount Umunhum got 6.97 — notable in that the Thursday storm barely wet the bottom of the rain gauges at those two sites.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>So much for rain highlights.

They married in the Yosemite Valley Chapel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s the first time they ever had that many Native Americans in that church,” Coats says. “We had our ceremony there. Mrs. Adams sang at our wedding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s photographer Ansel Adams’ wife, Virginia Best. Coats baby-sat their children as a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coats and her husband have now been married almost 65 years. They live in a small beige house perched on a hillside off a highway that leads into Yosemite Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Coats says, she rarely takes the road into the park. “Everything in the Valley has changed so much,” she says. “It doesn’t feel like home anymore. Nope it doesn’t feel like home. I’d say if they could change the mountains, they’d probably do that, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JggvenDPcuc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the landmarks she knew as a child are gone: the old Indian Village where she was born, the new Indian Village where she lived as an adult, even some of the trees she used as markers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to visualize everything in my head,” she says. “It’s the rocks that I really go by now 'cause the rocks never change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, even new landmarks have disappeared, signs with names derived from Native American words. Ahwahnee, the word for the Valley, comes from Awhaneechee, Coats says -- the name for the Miwoks who lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally those were native names,” she says. “So if you really want to get technical, who really put the names there to begin with, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But names like the Ahwahnee and the Wawona are gone, at least for now, while the park service and its former concessionaire, Delaware North, battle out the cost of these trademarks in court. Now there are new signs directing visitors to the Majestic Yosemite Hotel and the Big Trees Lodge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10892899\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10892899 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/YosemitePetition-800x1023.jpg\" alt=\"Laurie Sylvester holds petitions asking Delaware North to release the trademarks. \" width=\"800\" height=\"1023\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/YosemitePetition-800x1023.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/YosemitePetition-400x512.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/YosemitePetition.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/YosemitePetition-1180x1509.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/YosemitePetition-960x1228.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laurie Sylvester holds petitions asking Delaware North to release the trademarks. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Laurie Sylvester, a former Tuolumne County supervisor, says the loss of these iconic names makes her livid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The names that humankind has attached to this natural beauty ring in our hearts,” she says. “You say the Ahwahnee and it pulls up memories, but it’s mercifully a nod to the Native Americans and the first people that were here to witness this incredible sight long before the kind of commercial endeavor it is today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sylvester, who is not a Native American, stands in the lobby of the newly named Majestic Yosemite Hotel. The word Ahwahnee is covered up with black tape on the Historic Register wall plaque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just as we’re walking in today and we come down the hallway, I turn around to look at the historical sign and see black tape,” she says. “So it now reads the “black tape” first opened its doors to park visitors on July 14, 1927.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sylvester says she was so angry, she decided to start a \u003ca href=\"http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/delaware-north-release\">petition\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"http://front.moveon.org/\">MoveOn.Org \u003c/a>asking for the names to be released to the public. So far, the petition has more than 7,500 signatures, but it’s the comments that really get to Sylvester. Many are from people who lived in or grew up around Yosemite and feel an emotional attachment to the names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"TIR0W4YjbGKw4GPexs3KCPn74XuqQ104\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These names belong to the Native Americans,” Sylvester says. “I think that’s what really got me roiled up. No, no one can own those. Just because you can doesn’t mean you have to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Delaware North, the former concessionaire, agrees that the names do hold a special place in the nation’s cultural history, but this is a contract dispute. And, the company says, it was willing to let the park service use the names for free while the issue gets resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10892905\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10892905\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-800x836.jpg\" alt=\"Southern Sierra Miwok elder Bill Tucker stands outside the Mariposa Museum and History Center. \" width=\"800\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-800x836.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-400x418.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-1180x1233.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-960x1003.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Southern Sierra Miwok elder Bill Tucker stands outside the Mariposa Museum and History Center. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Southern Sierra Miwok elder Bill Tucker also grew up in Yosemite.

They get interpreted in many ways. “You know, depending on who they told them to, how they spell them and the meaning,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahwahnee is also spelled A-W-A-N-I, Martin says.

Mrs. Adams sang at our wedding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s photographer Ansel Adams’ wife, Virginia Best. Coats baby-sat their children as a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coats and her husband have now been married almost 65 years. They live in a small beige house perched on a hillside off a highway that leads into Yosemite Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Coats says, she rarely takes the road into the park. “Everything in the Valley has changed so much,” she says. “It doesn’t feel like home anymore. Nope it doesn’t feel like home. I’d say if they could change the mountains, they’d probably do that, too.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/JggvenDPcuc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/JggvenDPcuc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>All the landmarks she knew as a child are gone: the old Indian Village where she was born, the new Indian Village where she lived as an adult, even some of the trees she used as markers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to visualize everything in my head,” she says. “It’s the rocks that I really go by now 'cause the rocks never change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, even new landmarks have disappeared, signs with names derived from Native American words. Ahwahnee, the word for the Valley, comes from Awhaneechee, Coats says -- the name for the Miwoks who lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally those were native names,” she says. “So if you really want to get technical, who really put the names there to begin with, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But names like the Ahwahnee and the Wawona are gone, at least for now, while the park service and its former concessionaire, Delaware North, battle out the cost of these trademarks in court.

The word Ahwahnee is covered up with black tape on the Historic Register wall plaque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just as we’re walking in today and we come down the hallway, I turn around to look at the historical sign and see black tape,” she says. “So it now reads the “black tape” first opened its doors to park visitors on July 14, 1927.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sylvester says she was so angry, she decided to start a \u003ca href=\"http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/delaware-north-release\">petition\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"http://front.moveon.org/\">MoveOn.Org \u003c/a>asking for the names to be released to the public. So far, the petition has more than 7,500 signatures, but it’s the comments that really get to Sylvester. Many are from people who lived in or grew up around Yosemite and feel an emotional attachment to the names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These names belong to the Native Americans,” Sylvester says. “I think that’s what really got me roiled up. No, no one can own those. Just because you can doesn’t mean you have to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Delaware North, the former concessionaire, agrees that the names do hold a special place in the nation’s cultural history, but this is a contract dispute. And, the company says, it was willing to let the park service use the names for free while the issue gets resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10892905\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10892905\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-800x836.jpg\" alt=\"Southern Sierra Miwok elder Bill Tucker stands outside the Mariposa Museum and History Center. \" width=\"800\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-800x836.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-400x418.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-1180x1233.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-960x1003.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/BillTucker-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Southern Sierra Miwok elder Bill Tucker stands outside the Mariposa Museum and History Center. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Southern Sierra Miwok elder Bill Tucker also grew up in Yosemite.

She also grew up in Yosemite and now lives in Mariposa. “This is part of my generation, part of what I remember about Yosemite, thinking of those names,” she says. “Those structures have been there as long as I can remember.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Names like Wawona probably came from native root words, Martin says. They get interpreted in many ways. “You know, depending on who they told them to, how they spell them and the meaning,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahwahnee is also spelled A-W-A-N-I, Martin says. And she can’t help but wonder: What if the hotel’s name stayed the same, but the spelling was changed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

All of the green waste is loaded into much larger trucks, called transfer trucks, and carted off to Redwood Landfill 45 miles away in Novato.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magic (and chemistry!) really start at the landfill, which despite its name is primarily a composting facility. When the transfer trucks arrive, they dump all the green waste onto an asphalt pad that's larger than a football field. Asphalt doesn't absorb water, which is critical, because compost piles need a lot of water to effectively decompose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next the green waste is passed through a machine that grinds the materials into smaller bits. Now the green waste is starting to look more like dirt or soil, and less like a heaping pile of leaves, Christmas trees, melon rinds, coffee cups and mysterious lumps of someone's unfinished dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is where the plastic bags come back to haunt us.

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.
