While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Rolling green hills carpeted with trees, stunning cloud formations along the ridge line, and down below, sparkling blue reservoirs. This green stretches all the way from Pacifica to Highway 84.

(Don't really get that, but they seem to enjoy it.) It's also the city's only deep-water pool, which is necessary to play water polo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since November, that hidden gem has also been \u003cem>closed. \u003c/em>The city said it needed a \"custom-made part\" to fix the pool filter. That raised the question: \"Why would a city-owned public pool require such a fancy, hard-to-find part?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I should say, by way of full disclosure, that I regularly use the pool as a member of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/sftsunamiwaterpolo/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tsunamipolo.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Tsunami water polo \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"http://sftsunami.org/\" target=\"_blank\">swim\u003c/a> teams. That's how I know about the closure. Our polo team has had to beg and borrow (we drew the line at stealing) practice time at other pools around the Bay Area since November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to check into whether this prolonged closure was typical of public pools, unusual, or even some kind of incompetence or inefficiency on the city's part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Awareness, prevention, education, understanding — those are all things that all of us are committed to, to make sure that we have an understanding of the challenges that exist and we work to address them on the front end as best we can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So, I think the education sessions that are going to happen during the course of this first week at ballparks here and Florida, and those that are involved and committed to that process and education, believe it's positive. We believe it's positive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Importance of Being Proactive\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giants manager Bruce Bochy and his coaching staff, and also members of the team's front office, were prepared for a long day at Scottsdale Stadium. Their session was scheduled for late afternoon, following the players' classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do appreciate it. The fact that we are being proactive, I'm sure like the other sports, that's a good thing,\" Bochy said. \"It's something that should happen. It's time to help educate everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fals of Futures Without Violence said her organization has been working with the Giants for many years. \"They've been in front of this issue for a long time, and we've had the opportunity to try different approaches in terms of education, community engagement, fan awareness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the Giants coaches, A's manager Bob Melvin had a session scheduled for later in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melvin appreciates the efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly we support that,\" Melvin said. \"With all that's going on in sports and really in everyday life these days, it's something that needs to be addressed, and if we can school our guys and make them very aware of it, you try to combat the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:30 PM:\u003c/strong> By coincidence, today was the day Scott McKibben's appointment as Executive Director of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority became official. McKibben's a former publisher of ANG Newspapers and the former executive director of the Rose Bowl. In his newspaper days, he was part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Owners-balk-at-sale-of-A-s-3067307.php\">group that tried to buy the Oakland A’s in 1999\u003c/a> – a group headed by Andy Dolich and Bob Piccinini that planned to build a new downtown stadium. MLB never took action on the bid; many longtime A’s fans are still mourning that lost opportunity. McKibben also chaired Oakland’s Super Bowl bid in 2001 – it was one of three finalists for the game, which ended up going to Jacksonville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKibben met briefly with reporters after the Coliseum board appointed him. Here’s some of what he said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the Raiders, with the uncertainty of not having a permanent stadium plan in place here, are merely doing good management, due diligence, they're setting themselves up with some other options if we can't get something worked out here. But I'm confident, I believe that when all's said and done that we're going to be able to come to some sort of a resolution that works for everybody. Without question, (Raiders owner) Mark Davis would rather stay in Oakland, as would his senior management team, and we're going to do everything we can to try and move that ball forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKibben has a meeting on Tuesday morning with Raiders leadership to \"hear their view of the world. What does your idea of a venue and a deal look like? And then I have to sit down and do my homework on, okay, where are we at, what are our resources? And it's at that point that I think everyone starts realizing we've got to start moving to the middle.” (McKibben plans a similar meeting with A's ownership in the next week or two, possibly at their new spring training facility in Arizona.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moving franchises is not easy and it’s not something owners like to do. There are branding issues, sponsorship issues, relocation issues. Going in and sharing a market that hasn’t had an NFL team in 20 years, and then having to split it with somebody else – is it an option? Yes. But I think the one they really want is to be here (in Oakland), and we’re hoping we can accommodate them. I believe ownership of the Raiders – and the A’s – really does want to be in this market.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a consensus in the country today that direct public funding going to athletic facilities is something they frown on. However, there are a lot of other ways you can gather resources that can be financially acceptable to a sports franchise, anything from land, to game day expenses, the opportunity for other revenue-sharing arrangements. Financing, in the more holistic sense – there’s multiple ways that can be achieved other than direct bonding or financing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other Oakland officials, McKibben says he’s not writing off the Golden State Warriors yet, despite their plan to move to San Francisco. “We’re going to do everything we can to serve the needs of the Warriors and their fan base, with the idea in mind that if for some reason this deal in San Francisco doesn’t get done to their satisfaction, we are open for business to talk about a longterm arrangement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does he envision for the Coliseum site in ten years’ time? “I would hope that we would have a world-class venue for the Oakland Raiders and another for the Oakland A’s. We want these teams to remain in Oakland and we want to be part of a team that provides them the kind of venues they need to succeed in their business long-term. This is a good sports market, this is a good media market, this is a good television market, this is a good sponsorship market.
