A resident of Manhattan Beach, Minor ran long distances, bicycled, and hiked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He and my mom were both members of the Sierra Club,” said Jackie Minor of San Mateo, one of his daughters. \"They went on tons of backpacking trips, you know -- climbing mountains and trekking through the desert. He was just a very active person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the fall of 2014, Minor became ill with pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease, and it was terminal. His family members said the disease slowly but surely eroded his quality of life. He became increasingly confined to his home, wracked by pain and violent fits of coughing, and suffered frightening episodes of choking and suffocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So two years after the diagnosis, on Sept. 15, 2016, John Minor sipped his last drink: apple juice laced with a lethal dose of medication his doctor had prescribed for him.

"content": "\u003cp>Former FBI Director James Comey will testify that President Trump sought his \"loyalty\" and asked what could be done to \"lift the cloud\" of investigation shadowing his administration, according to prepared remarks released ahead of his appearance on Capitol Hill on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey, who is scheduled to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, will also tell lawmakers that he informed Trump that he was not personally under investigation. Comey will say that the FBI and Justice Department were reluctant to state that publicly \"because it would create a duty to correct, should that change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey's testimony will be his first public comments since Trump abruptly fired him on May 9. At the time of his firing, Comey had been overseeing the federal investigation into possible ties between Trump's campaign and Russia's election meddling, outraging Democrats who claimed the president was interfering in an active probe.[contextly_sidebar id=\"Bz1ARdQe0WebGlAs7i7YSTwJjYczUZ9L\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former director's testimony details several meetings and phone calls he had with Trump following the election.

Some Republicans are expected to press Comey on why he did not raise his concerns publicly or resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the encounters Comey describes is a Jan. 27 dinner at the White House. He says that after Trump asked him if he wanted to remain as FBI director, the president declared: \"I need loyalty. I expect loyalty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey says he replied that he could offer his honesty, and that when Trump said he wanted \"honest loyalty,\" Comey paused and said, \"You will get that from me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, after Comey had publicly revealed the existence of a federal counterintelligence investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, Trump complained that the probe had left a \"cloud\" that was \"impairing his ability to act on behalf of the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said he had nothing to do with Russia, had not been involved with hookers in Russia, and had always assumed he was being recorded when in Russia,\" Comey's prepared statement says. \"He asked what we could do to 'lift the cloud.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House initially said Trump fired Comey on the recommendation of the Justice Department, citing as justification a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that criticized Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. But Trump later said he was thinking of \"this Russia thing\" when he fired Comey and would have dismissed him without the Justice Department's input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read Comey's full testimony here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/os-jcomey-060817.pdf\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Comey will say that the FBI and Justice Department were reluctant to state that publicly \"because it would create a duty to correct, should that change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey's testimony will be his first public comments since Trump abruptly fired him on May 9. At the time of his firing, Comey had been overseeing the federal investigation into possible ties between Trump's campaign and Russia's election meddling, outraging Democrats who claimed the president was interfering in an active probe.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former director's testimony details several meetings and phone calls he had with Trump following the election. Comey describes at length a Feb. 14 meeting in the Oval Office in which he believed Trump asked him to drop any investigation of fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russia's ambassador to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He then said, 'I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go,' \" Comey says, according to the prepared remarks. \"I replied only that 'he is a good guy.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some Republicans are expected to press Comey on why he did not raise his concerns publicly or resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the encounters Comey describes is a Jan. 27 dinner at the White House. He says that after Trump asked him if he wanted to remain as FBI director, the president declared: \"I need loyalty. I expect loyalty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey says he replied that he could offer his honesty, and that when Trump said he wanted \"honest loyalty,\" Comey paused and said, \"You will get that from me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, after Comey had publicly revealed the existence of a federal counterintelligence investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, Trump complained that the probe had left a \"cloud\" that was \"impairing his ability to act on behalf of the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said he had nothing to do with Russia, had not been involved with hookers in Russia, and had always assumed he was being recorded when in Russia,\" Comey's prepared statement says. \"He asked what we could do to 'lift the cloud.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House initially said Trump fired Comey on the recommendation of the Justice Department, citing as justification a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that criticized Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. But Trump later said he was thinking of \"this Russia thing\" when he fired Comey and would have dismissed him without the Justice Department's input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read Comey's full testimony here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/os-jcomey-060817.pdf\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A company called \u003ca href=\"http://www.usagain.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USAgain\u003c/a> has been operating textile collection sites here since 2010, with \u003ca href=\"https://usagain.com/find-treemachine\">locations around the Bay Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More people are beginning to realize and understand the environmental benefits in seeking a convenient way to having their old clothes recycled and reused instead of throwing it in the garbage,” says USAgain CEO Mattias Wallander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this is an exciting prospect, textile recycling has a ways to go before it’s as commonplace as curbside paper and plastic recycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Plot Twist – Recycling Through Donation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This may come as a surprise -- it did to me -- but it turns out one of the easiest ways to get old clothing into the greater textile recycling stream is donating it, no matter how worn you think it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-does-goodwill-do-with-your-clothes_n_57e06b96e4b0071a6e092352\">percentage of what gets donated to places like Goodwill\u003c/a> or the Salvation Army ends up being sold to textile recyclers, at 5 to 7 cents per pound, with the cash still benefiting the charities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these “recyclers” are actually used clothing exporters. A large portion of the items not sold in U.S. thrift shops wind up in foreign markets. In Uganda, 81 percent of all clothing purchases are made on secondhand clothes. (Although it may seem like a form of charity and eco-responsibility, the BBC explains how the used-clothing export market is something of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35706427\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">political mixed bag\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remaining recycled fabric goes into other production streams, and may end up as insulation, upholstery stuffing or ingredients in paper products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even high-end thrift stores like Buffalo Exchange participate in this process.

A company called \u003ca href=\"http://www.usagain.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USAgain\u003c/a> has been operating textile collection sites here since 2010, with \u003ca href=\"https://usagain.com/find-treemachine\">locations around the Bay Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More people are beginning to realize and understand the environmental benefits in seeking a convenient way to having their old clothes recycled and reused instead of throwing it in the garbage,” says USAgain CEO Mattias Wallander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this is an exciting prospect, textile recycling has a ways to go before it’s as commonplace as curbside paper and plastic recycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Plot Twist – Recycling Through Donation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This may come as a surprise -- it did to me -- but it turns out one of the easiest ways to get old clothing into the greater textile recycling stream is donating it, no matter how worn you think it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-does-goodwill-do-with-your-clothes_n_57e06b96e4b0071a6e092352\">percentage of what gets donated to places like Goodwill\u003c/a> or the Salvation Army ends up being sold to textile recyclers, at 5 to 7 cents per pound, with the cash still benefiting the charities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these “recyclers” are actually used clothing exporters. A large portion of the items not sold in U.S. thrift shops wind up in foreign markets. In Uganda, 81 percent of all clothing purchases are made on secondhand clothes. (Although it may seem like a form of charity and eco-responsibility, the BBC explains how the used-clothing export market is something of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35706427\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">political mixed bag\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remaining recycled fabric goes into other production streams, and may end up as insulation, upholstery stuffing or ingredients in paper products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even high-end thrift stores like Buffalo Exchange participate in this process. Whatever clothes they’re unwilling to buy they will donate to local charities that pick up from their stores daily.\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\u003cp>“This is a service we offer to our sellers so they don’t need to make a second trip to a donation drop,” Emma Robinson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you take your old clothes to the thrift store, they may not actually end up on the rack -- but perhaps they’ll continue their lives as garments halfway across the world, or find their way into a couch cushion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where to Donate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Most thrift stores like Goodwill and the Salvation Army participate in textile recycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Find an ample list \u003ca href=\"https://satruck.org/DropOff/Index?zip=94105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a> of Salvation Army donation sites around the Bay Area.

But \u003ca href=\"http://gripped.com/news/alex-honnold-makes-historic-first-free-solo-of-el-capitan/\">Gripped says\u003c/a> of Honnold's El Capitan free-solo climb, \"this is by far the most groundbreaking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Honnold said in the podcast that he found the idea of free-soloing the monolith \"out of the question,\" he also told Pullan that he'd been studying it for years and \"El Cap is definitely doable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, there are two routes that you could potentially do, like Freeride or Golden Gate — they're the two easiest free routes,\" Honnold said, in a statement that only makes sense coming from someone who's often called one of the greatest rock climbers the world has ever seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenges on El Capitan, he said, start early, no matter which route you take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They all start with Freeblast, which is like a 10-pitch slab,\" Honnold said, adding that large sections of the granite slab are \"basically like walking on a sheet of glass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crux of one pitch, he said, is \"like this no-hands, foot traverse thing, where you're just like, shuffling across a blank wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honnold added, \"That's before the [main] wall even starts.

Eight men and women who participated in the recovery efforts said it was the most difficult aspect of the whole week. One fire captain, who has been with the department for more than 20 years, said thinking about it still makes him feel like he is teetering on the edge of a breakdown. He could see 10 bodies in the ash and rubble when he arrived, and he knew from the way the building collapsed that there would be more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims died of smoke inhalation, not fire, so all their features were recognizable. The firefighters could see every detail: The cellphones in their pockets flooded with missed calls. Their tattoos. Their eyelashes. “There was no question,” said another firefighter, “that was going to sit with me for a while.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of them spoke about that day on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the news media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighters were quick to emphasize that the Ghost Ship fire was just one in a long series of traumatic events over the course of their careers. In a big city like Oakland, they respond to everything from stubbed toes to heart attacks, from shootings to wildfires to structure fires. When asked to think back on a call that stuck with them, all the firefighters were able to conjure up several memories in perfect detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was the firefighter-paramedic who still remembers the faces of two teenage girls shot in the head execution-style on a street. Another firefighter, in the department for less than five years, described a day when they drove an alcoholic to the hospital to get detoxed; as the man left the hospital that evening to go home, he was shot in a botched robbery, and the same team was called back to the scene to pronounce him dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters have a metaphor for their emotional baggage: the backpack. After every traumatic event, more junk is thrown into their symbolic backpacks for them to carry around each day. Eventually it will get too heavy; it will drag them down. “My backpack’s full,” said a firefighter still in his 18-month probation period. “It’s super full.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PTSD and other post-trauma mental health issues can be tricky to identify in first responders, said psychologist Mark Kemena, a lead clinician for the West Coast Post-trauma Retreat, because it often builds up over time. It is like having a car alarm that is triggered when even the slightest wind passes by, said Michael Palmertree, a psychologist who has worked extensively with the Oakland Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been many studies about rates of PTSD in veterans and police, but reliable statistics for mental trauma in firefighters are hard to find. Suzy Gulliver, director of the Warriors Research Institute, is one of the few clinicians who has done studies on firefighter mental health. Over the course of a lifetime, she said, 20 to 22 percent of firefighters in the United States will experience PTSD — the same rate as returning combat veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consequences can be tragic. According to estimates from the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, firefighters are three times more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty. And many PTSD sufferers self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. Robertson said excessive drinking and substance use, including marijuana, have always been common in the fire department, particularly in young members. He himself had to go to drug rehab early in his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'When you do this for a little while, you’re scarred mentally for sure'\u003ccite>Chris Foley, Veteran fire captain\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“When you do this for a little while,” said Chris Foley, a veteran fire captain helping Robertson start the peer counseling program, “you’re scarred mentally for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Firefighters Wary of \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Treatment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters like to say that the fire service is 150 years of tradition, unimpeded by progress. When Robertson was a new recruit in the early 1990s, mental health wasn’t talked about in the firehouse. Back then, veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam were on the crew, men who had already experienced their fair share of trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t handle it?” Robertson recalled them saying if they saw a new crew member getting emotional after a run. “Then you need to go somewhere else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culture has started changing, Robertson said, but many firefighters still won’t admit that a call affected them, fearing it would be seen as weakness and make their coworkers trust them a little less. In a recent survey conducted by the NBC Bay Area investigative news team, almost 50 percent of the 700 firefighters that responded said that concerns about colleagues not trusting their judgment contributed to the stigma of seeking mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only one of the eight firefighters STAT interviewed who were at the scene that night has sought regular mental health treatment. For the few who do try to seek help, options are limited and, they say, often confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters in Oakland are offered the same counseling program that every Oakland city employee gets: three free therapy sessions every six months through their employee assistance program (EAP). Tom Farris, president of Claremont EAP, which runs the city’s program, said it is designed to be a bridge to longer-term care, though firefighters have to pay for additional sessions through insurance copayments or out of pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complex mental health problems like PTSD are “absolutely not” resolved within three sessions, said Farris, who is a licensed psychologist. But “that’s not really what EAPs are scoped out to handle,” he said. Farris noted that in many cities, first responders are offered six to 10 EAP sessions, not three. More benefits for public safety employees “is a good idea,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another resource in the fire department is a Critical Incident Stress Management team that is dispatched to fire stations after big events such as the Ghost Ship fire. The team members can vary from priests to other firefighters to experienced psychologists to brand-new therapists trying to boost their resume, and firefighters are required to sit together and debrief the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reactions to CISM are mixed. While psychologists say it can be very helpful, some firefighters say the team members often can’t relate to their experiences. Robertson said many of the CISM therapists wouldn’t be able to hold their own in a burning building. “Why the hell would I open up to you?” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoffmann, the deputy chief who has been in the fire department 37 years, acknowledged that CISM has been “poorly applied at times” and said team members hadn’t received training “in about two years,” but he believes that it is an effective behavioral health tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsatisfied with the current treatment options, Robertson, along with Foley, has made it his mission in his last two years before retirement to launch a peer counseling program. They want to follow in the steps of other departments, including Phoenix and New York City, that have been using this model for years. Several other Bay Area cities have these programs, including neighboring Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) started offering peer counseling training courses last year and so far has offered 24 courses across North America. Elaine Viccora, a behavioral specialist at IAFF, said it plans to offer three to four trainings each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robertson hopes to model the Oakland peer counseling program after the one in Phoenix. Brian French, a Phoenix firefighter, helped develop it in 2010 after four members of the department committed suicide within seven months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their model, French said, is “listen, refer, support.” Peer counselors are trained to reach out to individual station members after a critical incident and encourage them to get professional counseling if they think it is needed. French also oversees the day-to-day operations of a website called Firestrong, an online portal where fire departments around the country can list area-specific mental health resources for their members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robertson faces two main barriers as he tries to get the peer-counseling program off the ground: persuading the firefighters to admit when they need help, and convincing Hoffmann and other city administrators to pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It costs more than $250 for one firefighter to be trained as a peer counselor through the IAFF program, and membership to the Firestrong website is an additional $1,500 per year. So far, the union has paid for the training, and Robertson plans to push for city money in union negotiations this August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hoffmann said he is worried that the peer counseling program won’t be inclusive and that the people chosen as counselors could just be winners of a popularity contest within the union. “The way they’re describing doing their program,” Hoffman said, “I can’t spend city money on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Just Doing Our Job’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early April, Robertson attended an IAFF conference in Phoenix and was surprised to receive a plaque commending the Oakland firefighters on their actions the night of the Ghost Ship fire. The honor made him distinctly uncomfortable. It was weird, he said, to get a plaque “for us just doing our job.” Especially, he added, on a night when 36 people lost their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robertson frowns at any mention of leaving a legacy in the department. That’s not why he’s creating the peer counseling program, he said, though it’s hard for him to come up with the words to describe why firefighter PTSD is such an important issue for him personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s probably because I’m all fucked up myself by it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2017/06/02/ghost-ship-firefighters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">originally published by STAT\u003c/a>, an online publication of Boston Globe Media that covers health, medicine, and scientific discovery.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The fact that few firefighters use the current services, he said, is proof that they aren’t working. “Is it underutilized because it’s not needed, or is it underutilized because people have no faith in it?” Robertson asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_403984\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-403984\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534-768x513.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/RS23048_GettyImages-627450192-qut-800x534-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Firefighters clear debris from the entrance to the Ghost Ship warehouse in Oakland, where a fire killed 36 people on Dec. 2, 2016. \u003ccite>((Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images))\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘That Was Going to Sit With Me’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the fire came the search for bodies. Eight men and women who participated in the recovery efforts said it was the most difficult aspect of the whole week. One fire captain, who has been with the department for more than 20 years, said thinking about it still makes him feel like he is teetering on the edge of a breakdown. He could see 10 bodies in the ash and rubble when he arrived, and he knew from the way the building collapsed that there would be more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims died of smoke inhalation, not fire, so all their features were recognizable. The firefighters could see every detail: The cellphones in their pockets flooded with missed calls. Their tattoos. Their eyelashes. “There was no question,” said another firefighter, “that was going to sit with me for a while.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of them spoke about that day on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the news media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighters were quick to emphasize that the Ghost Ship fire was just one in a long series of traumatic events over the course of their careers. In a big city like Oakland, they respond to everything from stubbed toes to heart attacks, from shootings to wildfires to structure fires. When asked to think back on a call that stuck with them, all the firefighters were able to conjure up several memories in perfect detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was the firefighter-paramedic who still remembers the faces of two teenage girls shot in the head execution-style on a street. Another firefighter, in the department for less than five years, described a day when they drove an alcoholic to the hospital to get detoxed; as the man left the hospital that evening to go home, he was shot in a botched robbery, and the same team was called back to the scene to pronounce him dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters have a metaphor for their emotional baggage: the backpack. After every traumatic event, more junk is thrown into their symbolic backpacks for them to carry around each day. Eventually it will get too heavy; it will drag them down. “My backpack’s full,” said a firefighter still in his 18-month probation period. “It’s super full.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PTSD and other post-trauma mental health issues can be tricky to identify in first responders, said psychologist Mark Kemena, a lead clinician for the West Coast Post-trauma Retreat, because it often builds up over time. It is like having a car alarm that is triggered when even the slightest wind passes by, said Michael Palmertree, a psychologist who has worked extensively with the Oakland Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been many studies about rates of PTSD in veterans and police, but reliable statistics for mental trauma in firefighters are hard to find. Suzy Gulliver, director of the Warriors Research Institute, is one of the few clinicians who has done studies on firefighter mental health. Over the course of a lifetime, she said, 20 to 22 percent of firefighters in the United States will experience PTSD — the same rate as returning combat veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consequences can be tragic. According to estimates from the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, firefighters are three times more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty. And many PTSD sufferers self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. Robertson said excessive drinking and substance use, including marijuana, have always been common in the fire department, particularly in young members. He himself had to go to drug rehab early in his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'When you do this for a little while, you’re scarred mentally for sure'\u003ccite>Chris Foley, Veteran fire captain\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“When you do this for a little while,” said Chris Foley, a veteran fire captain helping Robertson start the peer counseling program, “you’re scarred mentally for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Firefighters Wary of \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Treatment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters like to say that the fire service is 150 years of tradition, unimpeded by progress. When Robertson was a new recruit in the early 1990s, mental health wasn’t talked about in the firehouse. Back then, veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam were on the crew, men who had already experienced their fair share of trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t handle it?” Robertson recalled them saying if they saw a new crew member getting emotional after a run. “Then you need to go somewhere else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culture has started changing, Robertson said, but many firefighters still won’t admit that a call affected them, fearing it would be seen as weakness and make their coworkers trust them a little less. In a recent survey conducted by the NBC Bay Area investigative news team, almost 50 percent of the 700 firefighters that responded said that concerns about colleagues not trusting their judgment contributed to the stigma of seeking mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only one of the eight firefighters STAT interviewed who were at the scene that night has sought regular mental health treatment. For the few who do try to seek help, options are limited and, they say, often confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters in Oakland are offered the same counseling program that every Oakland city employee gets: three free therapy sessions every six months through their employee assistance program (EAP). Tom Farris, president of Claremont EAP, which runs the city’s program, said it is designed to be a bridge to longer-term care, though firefighters have to pay for additional sessions through insurance copayments or out of pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complex mental health problems like PTSD are “absolutely not” resolved within three sessions, said Farris, who is a licensed psychologist. But “that’s not really what EAPs are scoped out to handle,” he said. Farris noted that in many cities, first responders are offered six to 10 EAP sessions, not three. More benefits for public safety employees “is a good idea,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another resource in the fire department is a Critical Incident Stress Management team that is dispatched to fire stations after big events such as the Ghost Ship fire. The team members can vary from priests to other firefighters to experienced psychologists to brand-new therapists trying to boost their resume, and firefighters are required to sit together and debrief the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reactions to CISM are mixed. While psychologists say it can be very helpful, some firefighters say the team members often can’t relate to their experiences. Robertson said many of the CISM therapists wouldn’t be able to hold their own in a burning building. “Why the hell would I open up to you?” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoffmann, the deputy chief who has been in the fire department 37 years, acknowledged that CISM has been “poorly applied at times” and said team members hadn’t received training “in about two years,” but he believes that it is an effective behavioral health tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsatisfied with the current treatment options, Robertson, along with Foley, has made it his mission in his last two years before retirement to launch a peer counseling program. They want to follow in the steps of other departments, including Phoenix and New York City, that have been using this model for years. Several other Bay Area cities have these programs, including neighboring Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) started offering peer counseling training courses last year and so far has offered 24 courses across North America. Elaine Viccora, a behavioral specialist at IAFF, said it plans to offer three to four trainings each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robertson hopes to model the Oakland peer counseling program after the one in Phoenix. Brian French, a Phoenix firefighter, helped develop it in 2010 after four members of the department committed suicide within seven months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their model, French said, is “listen, refer, support.” Peer counselors are trained to reach out to individual station members after a critical incident and encourage them to get professional counseling if they think it is needed. French also oversees the day-to-day operations of a website called Firestrong, an online portal where fire departments around the country can list area-specific mental health resources for their members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robertson faces two main barriers as he tries to get the peer-counseling program off the ground: persuading the firefighters to admit when they need help, and convincing Hoffmann and other city administrators to pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It costs more than $250 for one firefighter to be trained as a peer counselor through the IAFF program, and membership to the Firestrong website is an additional $1,500 per year. So far, the union has paid for the training, and Robertson plans to push for city money in union negotiations this August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hoffmann said he is worried that the peer counseling program won’t be inclusive and that the people chosen as counselors could just be winners of a popularity contest within the union. “The way they’re describing doing their program,” Hoffman said, “I can’t spend city money on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Just Doing Our Job’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early April, Robertson attended an IAFF conference in Phoenix and was surprised to receive a plaque commending the Oakland firefighters on their actions the night of the Ghost Ship fire. The honor made him distinctly uncomfortable. It was weird, he said, to get a plaque “for us just doing our job.” Especially, he added, on a night when 36 people lost their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robertson frowns at any mention of leaving a legacy in the department. That’s not why he’s creating the peer counseling program, he said, though it’s hard for him to come up with the words to describe why firefighter PTSD is such an important issue for him personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s probably because I’m all fucked up myself by it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s employed as a “picker” at a CVS distribution center in Patterson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everything she picks, she packs into crates, which then get shipped to CVS stores around Northern California. The items end up on store shelves, ready for customers to purchase and start the whole cycle over again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQnt95QGtbY#action=share\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zepeda is one of thousands of workers in the Central Valley who labor in the distribution industry. The business sector is booming, in part due to the growth of online retailer Amazon and its commitment to delivering consumer goods to your doorstep at ever faster speeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local governments have welcomed the boost in employment, and they are even investing in training to prepare young people to take the new jobs. But there are questions about whether these jobs pay enough to be long-term solutions for local residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s heavy work but it definitely beats fast food chains.’ \u003ccite>Mariela Zepeda, CVS pick selector\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Zepeda, for one, has aspirations beyond the distribution and logistics industry. She’s studying to be a history professor. In the meantime, she said the job at the warehouse “is heavy work but it definitely beats fast food chains or anything like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, Zepeda said, pay is better. She makes $14.79 an hour. For entry-level distribution jobs, companies advertise starting wages of $12 to $14, sometimes with benefits. They also tout the opportunities to advance within the distribution center, potentially into management positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson has about a dozen distribution centers nestled alongside Interstate 5. There’s one for Grainger, Kohl’s, Restoration Hardware and Amazon. The town, like others nearby, is betting on the industry, hoping it will provide jobs for future generations. Philip Alfano is superintendent of the Patterson Joint Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historically we’ve been an agricultural-based economy,” Alfano said. “With our proximity to the Port of Oakland and rail lines, we’re now emerging as a logistics and supply chain hub.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region has the jobs to prove it. Since 2000, warehouse and transport jobs like trucking in Stanislaus County more than doubled, from 4,000 to over 9,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the question was, who is going to take those jobs?” Alfano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson residents, Alfano hopes. That’s why he helped start a vocational program at Patterson High to train kids for the jobs. The district used state grant funds, and chipped in its own money to build a model warehouse, complete with virtual reality forklift simulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11495467\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 527px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11495467\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"527\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teacher Hilario Garcia tries to prepare a student for forklift work at a distribution center. \u003ccite>(Erasmo Martinez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Teacher Hilario Garcia used to work in the distribution industry, and he gets choked up about his kids getting jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I used to be them,” Garcia said. “I was that guy in the back, wasn’t the greatest student in class. I didn’t know what I was doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distribution helped Garcia get his start, and it is bringing in more entry-level jobs to an area where employment rates have lagged. But is the industry enough to sustain a community in the long term? Can workers afford a house nearby and support a family?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Tracy is grappling with these questions. It’s about 30 minutes north of Patterson and is another hub for distribution. The industry grew under Michael Maciel, Tracy’s mayor from the end of 2014 to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘There were voices that said these aren’t the kind of jobs we want in Tracy.’ \u003ccite>Michael Maciel, former mayor of Tracy\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>He represented a strategy of taking “advantage of this growing segment of the economy,” Maciel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now though, he said, Tracy’s City Council has started taking a more critical approach to the industry. “In the council there were voices that said these aren’t the kind of jobs we want in Tracy,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelley Burcham is Tracy’s economic development manager. “We know that there are citizens that require these entry-level jobs, or that’s their skill set, but we want to up the game,” Burcham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is to lure industries with better-paying jobs — sectors like tech or high-skilled manufacturing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burcham said a big problem right now in Tracy is that most of its community spends several hours commuting each day for work. Local jobs often do not compensate people enough to afford Tracy, which is on the outer edge of the Bay Area’s real estate crunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[WarehouseEmploymentGraph]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“About 70 percent of our resident workforce actually commutes out of Tracy every day,” Burcham said. Where do they go? To better-paying jobs in Fremont, San Jose and San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracy’s City Council wanted to know how much a job would have to pay for someone to afford to live in the city. They called this a “head-of-household job.” After crunching the numbers on real estate prices and cost of living, they arrived at a figure of $72,000 a year. Most jobs at a distribution center don’t pay that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Tracy tries to bring in higher-paying industries, the distribution business here continues to grow. Amazon just opened a second fulfillment center, and now it employs over 3,000 people between the two. In many ways the high-profile company has become the face of the distribution boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local newspapers track the company’s growth and expansion plans. Local politicians debate the quality of jobs and the potential impact of automation. Residents speculate how the future of shopping will affect their own local retail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Inside a Distribution Center\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon’s two squat complexes spread out over large grassy lots in what was once expansive, unbroken agricultural land. As soon as you pass into the building, you are enveloped in sound. Noises made by human workers and machines ricochet off concrete and metal into an indistinguishable industrial din, punctuated occasionally by the beep of a forklift backing up.[contextly_sidebar id=”5g2sjFaPgyFc8yyI1ugVam2CG8bedBTn”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conveyor belts compose the base of this droning. They snake around the entire building, taking abrupt turns, spiraling from ceiling to floor, alternating from metal rollers to long treadmills, speeding up, slowing down, crisscrossing and finally converging like lanes on a large and complex freeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An endless stream of brown boxes ride these pathways, traveling from human — the pickers who fill them with items — to the bays of trucks waiting outside. Many will take the same roads as commuters of Tracy, away from the Central Valley to the ranks of consumers in the urban centers of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Robinson, an Amazon spokeswoman, said the jobs at the fulfillment centers may not be long-term solutions for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely we acknowledge that for some folks a job here at Amazon may be a lifelong career path, and for others it might be the step that they need between step one and, you know, step three,” Robinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tracy fulfillment center has a classroom and a career program to help workers find jobs at Amazon or even elsewhere. At the CVS distribution center in Patterson, Mariela Zepeda said the company offers flexible schedules to college students like her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CVS job is helping her pay her bills and go to college, but Zepeda says she doesn’t think you can raise a family in Patterson with most jobs at a distribution center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By myself, with no kids, nothing, maybe I can get by,” she said. “But if you are trying to feed a family, no I don’t think so. I think a lot of places are like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of places. Zepeda is not just talking about the distribution industry. This is Zepeda’s general feeling about employment: There are few jobs that pay enough for people to live where they work. She worries that with automation, the whole situation is just going to get worse.\u003c/p>\n\n",

For entry-level distribution jobs, companies advertise starting wages of $12 to $14, sometimes with benefits. They also tout the opportunities to advance within the distribution center, potentially into management positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson has about a dozen distribution centers nestled alongside Interstate 5. There’s one for Grainger, Kohl’s, Restoration Hardware and Amazon. The town, like others nearby, is betting on the industry, hoping it will provide jobs for future generations. Philip Alfano is superintendent of the Patterson Joint Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historically we’ve been an agricultural-based economy,” Alfano said. “With our proximity to the Port of Oakland and rail lines, we’re now emerging as a logistics and supply chain hub.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region has the jobs to prove it. Since 2000, warehouse and transport jobs like trucking in Stanislaus County more than doubled, from 4,000 to over 9,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the question was, who is going to take those jobs?” Alfano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson residents, Alfano hopes. That’s why he helped start a vocational program at Patterson High to train kids for the jobs. The district used state grant funds, and chipped in its own money to build a model warehouse, complete with virtual reality forklift simulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11495467\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 527px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11495467\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"527\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DC_8-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teacher Hilario Garcia tries to prepare a student for forklift work at a distribution center. \u003ccite>(Erasmo Martinez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Teacher Hilario Garcia used to work in the distribution industry, and he gets choked up about his kids getting jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I used to be them,” Garcia said. “I was that guy in the back, wasn’t the greatest student in class. I didn’t know what I was doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distribution helped Garcia get his start, and it is bringing in more entry-level jobs to an area where employment rates have lagged. But is the industry enough to sustain a community in the long term? Can workers afford a house nearby and support a family?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Tracy is grappling with these questions. It’s about 30 minutes north of Patterson and is another hub for distribution. The industry grew under Michael Maciel, Tracy’s mayor from the end of 2014 to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘There were voices that said these aren’t the kind of jobs we want in Tracy.’ \u003ccite>Michael Maciel, former mayor of Tracy\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>He represented a strategy of taking “advantage of this growing segment of the economy,” Maciel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now though, he said, Tracy’s City Council has started taking a more critical approach to the industry. “In the council there were voices that said these aren’t the kind of jobs we want in Tracy,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelley Burcham is Tracy’s economic development manager. “We know that there are citizens that require these entry-level jobs, or that’s their skill set, but we want to up the game,” Burcham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is to lure industries with better-paying jobs — sectors like tech or high-skilled manufacturing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burcham said a big problem right now in Tracy is that most of its community spends several hours commuting each day for work. Local jobs often do not compensate people enough to afford Tracy, which is on the outer edge of the Bay Area’s real estate crunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[WarehouseEmploymentGraph]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“About 70 percent of our resident workforce actually commutes out of Tracy every day,” Burcham said. Where do they go? To better-paying jobs in Fremont, San Jose and San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracy’s City Council wanted to know how much a job would have to pay for someone to afford to live in the city. They called this a “head-of-household job.” After crunching the numbers on real estate prices and cost of living, they arrived at a figure of $72,000 a year. Most jobs at a distribution center don’t pay that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Tracy tries to bring in higher-paying industries, the distribution business here continues to grow. Amazon just opened a second fulfillment center, and now it employs over 3,000 people between the two. In many ways the high-profile company has become the face of the distribution boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local newspapers track the company’s growth and expansion plans. Local politicians debate the quality of jobs and the potential impact of automation. Residents speculate how the future of shopping will affect their own local retail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Inside a Distribution Center\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon’s two squat complexes spread out over large grassy lots in what was once expansive, unbroken agricultural land. As soon as you pass into the building, you are enveloped in sound. Noises made by human workers and machines ricochet off concrete and metal into an indistinguishable industrial din, punctuated occasionally by the beep of a forklift backing up.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conveyor belts compose the base of this droning. They snake around the entire building, taking abrupt turns, spiraling from ceiling to floor, alternating from metal rollers to long treadmills, speeding up, slowing down, crisscrossing and finally converging like lanes on a large and complex freeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An endless stream of brown boxes ride these pathways, traveling from human — the pickers who fill them with items — to the bays of trucks waiting outside. Many will take the same roads as commuters of Tracy, away from the Central Valley to the ranks of consumers in the urban centers of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Robinson, an Amazon spokeswoman, said the jobs at the fulfillment centers may not be long-term solutions for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely we acknowledge that for some folks a job here at Amazon may be a lifelong career path, and for others it might be the step that they need between step one and, you know, step three,” Robinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tracy fulfillment center has a classroom and a career program to help workers find jobs at Amazon or even elsewhere. At the CVS distribution center in Patterson, Mariela Zepeda said the company offers flexible schedules to college students like her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CVS job is helping her pay her bills and go to college, but Zepeda says she doesn’t think you can raise a family in Patterson with most jobs at a distribution center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By myself, with no kids, nothing, maybe I can get by,” she said. “But if you are trying to feed a family, no I don’t think so. I think a lot of places are like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
