"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. 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.",

Prestando un servicio a todos y cada uno de nosotros, todos los días\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las autoridades estatales comenzaron inmediatamente a recabar información sobre California Terra Garden y Concord Farms, las dos granjas atacadas, y consiguieron entrar dos horas después de que las fuerzas del orden abrieron de nuevo los sitios el 25 de enero, según Peter Melton, portavoz del Departamento de Relaciones Industriales del estado. Confirmó que su agencia está investigando a ambas empresas por posibles infracciones en el lugar de trabajo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melton subrayó que la agencia no solicita ni rastrea el estatus migratorio de los trabajadores, y añadió: \"En California, los trabajadores agrícolas y de la mayoría de las demás industrias están protegidos por las leyes laborales y las normas de seguridad y salud en el lugar de trabajo de California, independientemente de su estatus migratorio\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Por una cuestión de política, el Departamento de Trabajo de EE.UU. no quiso confirmar si también está investigando las granjas. Pero el vicealcalde de Half Moon Bay, Joaquín Jiménez Ureña, dijo que la semana anterior investigadores federales estuvieron en la ciudad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tuve la oportunidad de reunirme con ellos\", dijo. \"Compartieron conmigo lo que están investigando.

Y para los inmigrantes indocumentados, el temor es aún mayor, dice Patricia Ortiz, directora legal del programa de inmigración de la organización sin fines de lucro California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA, por sus siglas en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11919450\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/FarmworkersIlloVignet-1020x659-1.jpg\"]\"Los trabajadores agrícolas se encuentran en una situación muy vulnerable\", dijo Ortiz. \"Están en zonas rurales, donde tal vez están aislados de la información a la que la gente en otras partes del estado tiene acceso, en cuanto a sus derechos y qué recursos tienen para hacerlos valer\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/01/13/dhs-anuncia-mejoras-en-los-procesos-para-apoyar-las-investigaciones-de-cumplimiento\">un nuevo programa simplificado y acelerado de solicitud de \"acción diferida\"\u003c/a>, destinado a ayudar al gobierno a acabar con los empleadores abusivos, podría animar a más trabajadores indocumentados a denunciar condiciones injustas o inseguras, dijo Ortiz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los trabajadores que demuestren que están cooperando con una investigación laboral pueden solicitar un permiso de trabajo y dos años de protección contra la deportación a través de un proceso acelerado anunciado en enero por el Secretario de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés), Alejandro Mayorkas. La protección, que se concederá caso por caso, se basa en \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/memo_from_secretary_mayorkas_on_worksite_enforcement.pdf\">un memorando de octubre de 2021 en el que se describe la estrategia del DHS para hacer cumplir la ley en los lugares de trabajo (PDF)\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Los empresarios sin escrúpulos que se aprovechan de la vulnerabilidad de los trabajadores extranjeros perjudican a todos los trabajadores y ponen en desventaja a las empresas que respetan las normas\", declaró Mayorkas al anunciar el nuevo programa en enero. \"Responsabilizaremos a estos depredadores animando a todos los trabajadores a hacer valer sus derechos\".\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Difundir el mensaje\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ortiz dice que grupos de defensa de los inmigrantes como el suyo han estado organizando apresuradamente cursos de formación y seminarios web para informar sobre el programa a otros proveedores de servicios jurídicos que trabajan con inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero Jiménez Ureña, vicealcalde de Half Moon Bay, que también ayuda dirigir la organización sin fines de lucro ALAS, o Ayudando Latinos a Soñar, que apoya a trabajadores agrícolas en el condado de San Mateo, dijo que desconocía la iniciativa federal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tras el tiroteo masivo y las posibles infracciones laborales en las granjas de hongos, la Agencia de Trabajo y Desarrollo Laboral de la administración del gobernador Newsom ha empezado a compartir información sobre el nuevo programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"La administración ha estado en estrecho contacto con el condado de San Mateo y las organizaciones comunitarias en relación con asistencia migratoria y las nuevas orientaciones del DHS sobre posibles ayudas de inmigración para los trabajadores que hayan sufrido infracciones en el lugar de trabajo.\", dijo Erin Hickey, portavoz de la agencia, en un correo electrónico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los líderes sindicales de California llevaron a cabo un curso de formación sobre el nuevo programa en Los Ángeles. Y un grupo de abogados del Área de la Bahía programaron una videollamada para debatir cómo podrían beneficiar a sus clientes estas protecciones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Un giro de 180 grados\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sergio Benavides, un abogado de inmigración de Hayward dijo que ya hace tiempo es que la administración Biden debería haberse enfocado en las protecciones laborales para los inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Para mí representa un giro completo de 180 grados con respecto a la era del expresidente Trump\", dijo. \"La administración Biden está diciendo, 'Oigan, trabajadores, queremos ayudarlos. Queremos protegerlos. Queremos investigar las violaciones de la ley. Por favor, salgan a la luz'\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero Benavides advirtió que la acción diferida es sólo temporal, y dijo que los inmigrantes deberían consultar primero a un abogado para decidir si les beneficiaría solicitarla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hay otras formas de alivio de la inmigración que podrían ser más duraderas para los inmigrantes indocumentados, incluidos los de las granjas de setas de Half Moon Bay, dijo. Una de ellas, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/programas-humanitarios/victimas-de-la-trata-de-personas-y-de-otros-crimenes/victimas-de-actos-criminales-estatus-u-de-no-inmigrante\">el visado U\u003c/a>, puede conducir a una tarjeta verde y, en última instancia, a la ciudadanía para las víctimas de determinados delitos que cooperen con las fuerzas del orden o los investigadores gubernamentales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la eficacia del nuevo programa federal dependerá de lo bien que se administre, dijo Benavides. Aunque el DHS dice que el proceso de solicitud será \"agilizado y acelerado\", otras solicitudes de inmigración suelen retrasarse, señaló.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"La gente puede tener derecho a prestaciones y las solicita, pero tarda años y hay estos enormes retrasos\", dijo. \"Van a intentar acelerarlo. ¿Pero qué significa eso? No sé si el gobierno de Biden tiene el personal necesario para asegurarse de que estas solicitudes se tramitan más rápido.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"funciona\">\u003c/a>Cómo funciona este programa\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Si está pensando en solicitar la acción diferida sobre la deportación, aquí tiene algunos detalles que debe conocer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Un abogado de inmigración puede ayudarle a decidir si le conviene presentar la solicitud. También pueden decirle si hay otras formas de ayuda migratoria a las que pueda optar, incluidas protecciones más permanentes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Para solicitarla, debe presentar, entre otros formularios:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Una solicitud firmada en la que explique su reclamación y que está participando en una investigación de una agencia laboral.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Una carta de apoyo de la agencia laboral.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Documentos que prueben su empleo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prueba de su identidad y nacionalidad.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Información biográfica.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Una solicitud de permiso de trabajo.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>La protección contra la expulsión es temporal, hasta dos años. Puede renovarse si la investigación laboral está en curso.

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>When Joaquín Jiménez Ureña climbs into the cab of his 1992 Chevrolet pickup truck, he’s often heading out to one of the farms along the San Mateo County coast — to talk with farmworkers and deliver donations of food, rain gear or blankets. But on a recent sunny morning, Jiménez Ureña was setting off for a meeting of local business leaders concerned with a growing sense of crisis over farmworker housing.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"David Canepa, supervisor, San Mateo County\"]'This is a systemic, generational problem, not unique to San Mateo County, and one that can only be solved with state and federal help. We owe it to the victims of this tragedy to improve the conditions under which they live for the betterment of our farmworkers.'[/pullquote]In the month since the Jan. 23 mass shooting — in which seven workers at a pair of mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay were shot and killed, allegedly by a 66-year-old co-worker — farmworker housing has been a central concern here. And Jiménez Ureña and other community leaders — as well as farmworkers themselves — are aiming to transform the tragedy into urgently needed investments in decent, affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Gavin Newsom arrived after the shooting rampage to console survivors, only to discover that some were living in uninsulated shipping containers, he expressed outrage and vowed investigations. The next day, San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller, who toured the shooting scenes, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Ray_Mueller_/status/1618694092506152960\">tweeted photos\u003c/a> of what he called “deplorable, heartbreaking living conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jiménez Ureña knows how hard life can be for the estimated 2,000 farmworkers who power the county’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/agwm/agricultural-crop-report\">$100 million agriculture industry\u003c/a>.

In the process, they hear about the financial stresses workers face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a group of farmworkers that actually were sleeping in their cars,” he said. “They couldn’t find housing, so they moved on, migrated to other farming communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11941740\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11941740\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"A yellow painted house with a porch, a man walking in.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joaquín Jiménez Ureña walks into the offices of Ayudando Latinos a Sonar, or ALAS, a Half Moon Bay nonprofit group where he runs the farmworker program, on Feb. 8, 2023. \u003ccite>(Reid Cramer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Most farmworkers here in the Coastside earn little more than the minimum wage of $15.50/hour, said Jiménez Ureña.

His family left a small town in Jalisco, Mexico, when he was in middle school. And his parents settled the family here and found work in one of the local plant nurseries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says his family coped with high rents the way many families do, by sharing costs — and living space — with others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember one year during my high school years, we had a three-bedroom house, one bathroom, and there were 21 of us,” he said. “So I know what it feels like to be in a crowded home.”[aside postID=news_11940316 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/GettyImages-1456240028-1020x656.jpg']As a teenager, Jiménez Ureña says, he managed by building a life for himself outside the house: playing sports, working an after-school job, studying at the library and even showering at the school gym.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At home there was really not much space to do anything,” he recalled. “I had a place on the floor in the living room to sleep, and a closet where I could keep some of my clothes and my books.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jiménez Ureña went off to college, then came back home to work as a teacher, in juvenile probation, and eventually as director of the ALAS farmworker program. In 2020 he was elected as the first Latino on the Half Moon Bay City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Our essential workers can't afford to live here'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On this day, he strode into the Mezza Luna Italian Restaurant in ranch boots and jeans for a Coastside Chamber of Commerce lunch meeting, settling in the back as Half Moon Bay Mayor Deborah Penrose addressed the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a hell of a month,” she said. “Each and every one of you has suffered the loss of those seven lives … I get it. I’m in pain, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Penrose said, the deplorable conditions the mushroom workers were living in served as a reminder of a much larger problem: “It has put back into the spotlight the lack of affordable housing — period — on the coast. The fact that our essential workers can't afford to live here and we are losing them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said county officials have pledged to work with Half Moon Bay to try to purchase land to build housing for farmworkers and others. The local economy also depends on the labor of low-wage hospitality workers at the area’s many hotels and restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the 38 workers who were displaced from the two mushroom farms recently moved into Airbnb lodging — donated for a month. And officials are scrambling to find a more permanent solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted to spend $750,000 of federal pandemic relief funds from the American Rescue Plan toward housing the survivors of the shooting for the coming year. And county officials said they hope those dollars will be matched with philanthropic donations.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11939603,forum_2010101892120,news_11939470\"]During the meeting, Supervisor David Canepa said the county has also committed another $3.3 million over two years for farmworker housing. And he pointed to a county loan program for farm owners to build or repair homes for workers. But he said the county can’t do it alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a systemic, generational problem, not unique to San Mateo County, and one that can only be solved with state and federal help,” said Canepa. “We owe it to the victims of this tragedy to improve the conditions under which they live for the betterment of our farmworkers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week the Newsom administration announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/news/state-awards-428-million-spur-local-affordable-housing-including-farmworkers\">grants totaling $42.8 million to three housing developers\u003c/a> to build more than 200 affordable units across San Mateo County — though just 18 of them are reserved for farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ray Mueller said he has been meeting with multiple state agencies, as well as state legislators and members of Congress, to discuss additional solutions for farmworker housing, though he didn’t share details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a moment here in San Mateo County to really do something that will strengthen our agricultural economy, that will treat farmworkers with the respect and dignity that they deserve and hopefully be a beacon to the rest of the state of what can be accomplished coming out of a tragedy like this,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A stable year-round home\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yesenia García has worked at Cabrillo Farms for over a decade, planting, harvesting and packing Brussels sprouts, artichokes, fava beans and peas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She counts herself lucky, because her employer provides good housing. She and her husband and two kids share a four-bedroom home on the farm with her in-laws. They are 11 in all, she said, but comfortable enough, with two bathrooms and their own laundry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And García — the daughter of migrant farmworkers, who grew up following the ripening crops up and down California — values the fact that she has a stable, year-round home. She said when work on the farm dries up for a couple of months each year, her boss encourages the crew to stay on and take temporary jobs nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11941741\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11941741\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"A Latina woman with a pink hoodie smiles at the camera while working on a farm.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2525-1-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yesenia García, 29, packs vegetables at Cabrillo Farms just north of Half Moon Bay.

And Jiménez Ureña and other community leaders — as well as farmworkers themselves — are aiming to transform the tragedy into urgently needed investments in decent, affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Gavin Newsom arrived after the shooting rampage to console survivors, only to discover that some were living in uninsulated shipping containers, he expressed outrage and vowed investigations. The next day, San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller, who toured the shooting scenes, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Ray_Mueller_/status/1618694092506152960\">tweeted photos\u003c/a> of what he called “deplorable, heartbreaking living conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jiménez Ureña knows how hard life can be for the estimated 2,000 farmworkers who power the county’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/agwm/agricultural-crop-report\">$100 million agriculture industry\u003c/a>. He’s vice mayor of Half Moon Bay. But he also runs the farmworker outreach program for \u003ca href=\"https://www.alasdreams.com\">Ayudando Latinos a Soñar\u003c/a>, or ALAS, a local nonprofit serving the Latino community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Jiménez Ureña and his team make visits on a couple of dozen farms along this region known as the Coastside, he said they not only bring donations in the pickup truck, known as Big Blue, but they teach farmworkers about their rights and connect them with health services and other resources. In the process, they hear about the financial stresses workers face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a group of farmworkers that actually were sleeping in their cars,” he said. “They couldn’t find housing, so they moved on, migrated to other farming communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11941740\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11941740\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"A yellow painted house with a porch, a man walking in.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_2498-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joaquín Jiménez Ureña walks into the offices of Ayudando Latinos a Sonar, or ALAS, a Half Moon Bay nonprofit group where he runs the farmworker program, on Feb. 8, 2023. \u003ccite>(Reid Cramer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Most farmworkers here in the Coastside earn little more than the minimum wage of $15.50/hour, said Jiménez Ureña.

His family left a small town in Jalisco, Mexico, when he was in middle school. And his parents settled the family here and found work in one of the local plant nurseries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says his family coped with high rents the way many families do, by sharing costs — and living space — with others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember one year during my high school years, we had a three-bedroom house, one bathroom, and there were 21 of us,” he said. “So I know what it feels like to be in a crowded home.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m in pain, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Penrose said, the deplorable conditions the mushroom workers were living in served as a reminder of a much larger problem: “It has put back into the spotlight the lack of affordable housing — period — on the coast. The fact that our essential workers can't afford to live here and we are losing them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said county officials have pledged to work with Half Moon Bay to try to purchase land to build housing for farmworkers and others. The local economy also depends on the labor of low-wage hospitality workers at the area’s many hotels and restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the 38 workers who were displaced from the two mushroom farms recently moved into Airbnb lodging — donated for a month. And officials are scrambling to find a more permanent solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted to spend $750,000 of federal pandemic relief funds from the American Rescue Plan toward housing the survivors of the shooting for the coming year.

The truth is, you’re afraid because you never know what’s going to happen,” said Lorena Villalobos, who works at a flower nursery near one of the farms that was attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, seven farmworkers were killed in back-to-back shootings at two mushroom farms, Concord Farms and California Terra Garden (formerly known as Mountain Mushroom Farm), in the coastal agricultural town of Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect, 66-year-old Chunli Zhao, had worked at both sites and was a current employee at the first site he allegedly attacked, county law enforcement officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of the evidence we have points to this being the instance of workplace violence,” San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus told reporters on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farmworkers killed were Asian and Latino immigrants who lived at their work sites, as did children and other relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those killed include Zhishen Liu, 73; Aixiang Zhang, 74; Qizhong Cheng, 66; Jingzhi Lu, 64; Marciano Martínez Jiménez, 50; Yetao Bing, 43; and José Romero Pérez.

But, “in terms of mass workplace shootings, those make major headlines and for good reason, but they don’t really account for any kind of significant proportion of homicides in the workplace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workplace homicides peaked in 1994 at 1,080 and dropped significantly over the next two decades to 409 homicides in 2014. However, \u003ca href=\"https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2022/09/07/workplace-violence-indicators/\">workplace homicides crept up\u003c/a> between 2014 and 2019, from 409 to 454, or about 11%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 21% of workplace homicides between 2015 and 2019 occurred in sales and related occupations. Security guards and police officers accounted for 19% of workplace homicides during the same period, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And 79% of workplace homicides were shootings.[aside postID=news_11939214 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/GettyImages-1459291559-1020x763.jpg']Villalobos, the flower nursery worker, said that her sister heard the gunshots from Monday’s attack while working next to one of the farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She acknowledged the difficult scenario, that the suspect was an employee at the farm, but said she would feel safer if more security measures were in place at work sites like hers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think more security is needed, so it’s safer.

Gavin Newsom noted that farmworkers, many of whom are migrants, often labor for just $9 an hour and are forced to live in on-site shipping containers, as was the case for some of the victims of Monday’s shooting rampage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s minimum wage is $15.50 per hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look at what’s happening in terms of the living conditions,” San Mateo District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe said Wednesday, after the shooting suspect’s first court appearance. “Our office will focus on the prosecution. But I have spoken with the county manager … [and] the president of our board of supervisors. They have been out there. They have seen some of the squalor that exists out there. … Now we have to act on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>The suspect in Monday’s deadly rampage at two Half Moon Bay farm sites was denied bail during his first court appearance since the attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Wednesday’s hearing in San Mateo County Superior Court, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe emphasized that Chunli Zhao, the 66-year-old suspect, is a Chinese national and not a U.S. citizen, and therefore has “plenty of motive to run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For that reason, it was to me a very straightforward and simple request for no bail,” he told reporters afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao’s arraignment, initially scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed until Feb. 16, to allow him time to meet with his two attorneys, who were appointed by the court during the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao, who used a Mandarin-language interpreter, used court papers to cover his face for much of the hearing and spoke only briefly to confirm his name when asked by Judge Susan Jakubowski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not enter a plea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the hearing, Wagstaffe released Zhao’s charging documents, which include seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. He said the charges were listed in the order in which the victims are believed to have been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If convicted of the charges, Zhao could receive the death penalty or face life in prison without the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Making that decision on the death penalty is something that will take place over the course of the next many, many months as we have so much more to learn about this individual, about the victims and their families and the harm that’s been inflicted here,” Wagstaffe said, noting that the massacre was the deadliest set of mass shootings in the county’s history. “So we have a long way to go before we make that decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that after Zhao’s arrest, the suspect spoke with sheriff’s investigators through an interpreter and did not request an attorney at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have a feeling on the motive at this point based on what he told us,” Wagstaffe said, but declined to provide specific details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say the grievances that he had were personal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao had been renting a trailer at California Terra Garden (formerly Mountain Mushroom Farm), where he had worked for years, a crisis-management consultant hired by the farm \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/25/us/california-shooting-half-moon-bay.html\">told The New York Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office on Wednesday confirmed the identities of six of the seven victims who were killed in Monday’s back-to-back shootings at two different mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims include Zhishen Liu, 73, of San Francisco; Aixiang Zhang, 74, of San Francisco; Qizhong Cheng, 66, of Half Moon Bay; Jingzhi Lu, 64, of Half Moon Bay; Marciano Martinez Jimenez, 50, of Moss Beach; and Yetao Bing, 43, whose residence is still unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>José Romero Pérez was the seventh person killed in the attack, according to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Chunli_Zhao-Complaint-Packet.pdf\">charging documents released Wednesday\u003c/a> by the San Mateo District Attorney’s Office. It also identified Pedro Romero Pérez, his brother, as the one surviving victim. He is currently being treated at Stanford Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican consulate confirmed that two of the deceased victims were Mexican nationals, as is survivor Pedro Romero Pérez, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/community/half-moon-bay-shooting-consulates-reach-out-to-families-of-victims-in-china-mexico/\">The San Francisco Standard\u003c/a>, which also reported that both Mexico and China will provide visa and travel assistance to the bereaved families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Servando Martinez Jimenez said his brother, Marciano Martinez Jimenez, 50, was a delivery person and manager at one of the farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a good person. He was polite and friendly with everyone. He never had any problems with anyone. I don’t understand why all this happened,” Martinez Jimenez said, in Spanish, while standing outside his Half Moon Bay home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his brother never mentioned Zhao or discussed any issues related to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marciano Martinez Jimenez had lived in the United States for 28 years after arriving from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, according to Servando Martinez Jimenez, who said he is now working with the Mexican consulate to get his brother’s body home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10 a.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>Prosecutors will charge a farmworker accused of killing seven of his co-workers and former co-workers in \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/northern-california-shootings-3eb00c19a36ad129ca7f0063f4b2aaf9\">back-to-back shootings\u003c/a> on Monday at two Half Moon Bay mushroom farms with seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charges, which San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe announced Wednesday morning, will be filed before the suspect, 66-year-old Chunli Zhao, makes his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not immediately clear whether Zhao had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao, who is believed to have acted alone, also faces a special-circumstance allegation of multiple murder, as well as sentencing enhancements on each count for the use of a firearm, Wagstaffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charges include additional allegations that could result in life in prison without parole or the death penalty, although Gov. Gavin Newsom has issued a moratorium on executions. Among those allegations are that Zhao used a gun, caused great bodily injury, and killed multiple people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4:45 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> California leaders are calling for tighter laws and regulations for assault weapon sales and high-capacity magazines following deadly shootings in Monterey Park, Half Moon Bay and Oakland this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s said all the time, ‘Only in America. No. 1 in gun ownership, No. 1 in gun deaths.’ It’s not even complicated,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. “This happened on our watch. It doesn’t have to be this way. It wasn’t always this way. A few decades ago we didn’t experience these things. We have allowed this to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who recently visited residents and businesses reeling from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11938863/the-long-process-of-healing-aapi-community-members-react-to-the-lunar-new-year-mass-shooting\">mass shooting in Monterey Park near Los Angeles that killed 11 people\u003c/a>, appeared visibly shaken before reporters in Half Moon Bay on Tuesday. But he didn’t shy away from quickly politicizing the tragic event, calling out specific judges and politicians who have blocked gun safety legislation from moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m still waiting for Kevin McCarthy, the speaker of the House of Representatives. We haven’t heard a damn word from him. Not since Monterey Park, not here, not even one expression of prayers,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/\">39 mass shootings in the United States since the start of the year\u003c/a> — more than any other year on record this early into the new year — according to the Gun Violence Archive, an independent gun violence data and research organization, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which at least four victims are shot, either injured or killed, not including the shooter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the country’s mass shooting events have occurred since the federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have two horrific shootings in our state in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay come on the heels of the Lunar New Year is just unimaginable. It makes me think of everything we have done [to address gun violence in California],” said Assemblymember Phil Ting. “But unfortunately, it is still way too easy to purchase a legal firearm in this state. When two individuals who really absolutely have no right to have firearms and obtain it legally or illegally, there’s little we can do. My colleagues at the state level will be going back to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressmember Anna Eshoo echoed those sentiments and outrage. “We have unfinished business in our country to address gun violence and workplace violence. Until that is finished business, there will be pain in many communities,” she said. “The story of America is not only to meet the challenges, but to make good on the promises.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Kamala Harris will visit California on Wednesday to honor lives lost in the multiple mass shootings this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The seven people killed in Half Moon Bay were agricultural workers at two separate mushroom farms. Many lived with their families at the work sites and faced harsh work and living conditions before the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the workers live in shipping containers and make around $9 per hour, Newsom said, far less than California’s $15.50 minimum wage, without access to health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have exposed how our farmworker community is living, let’s not ignore that.

Gavin Newsom noted that farmworkers, many of whom are migrants, often labor for just $9 an hour and are forced to live in on-site shipping containers, as was the case for some of the victims of Monday’s shooting rampage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s minimum wage is $15.50 per hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look at what’s happening in terms of the living conditions,” San Mateo District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe said Wednesday, after the shooting suspect’s first court appearance. “Our office will focus on the prosecution. But I have spoken with the county manager … [and] the president of our board of supervisors. They have been out there. They have seen some of the squalor that exists out there. … Now we have to act on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>The suspect in Monday’s deadly rampage at two Half Moon Bay farm sites was denied bail during his first court appearance since the attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Wednesday’s hearing in San Mateo County Superior Court, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe emphasized that Chunli Zhao, the 66-year-old suspect, is a Chinese national and not a U.S. citizen, and therefore has “plenty of motive to run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For that reason, it was to me a very straightforward and simple request for no bail,” he told reporters afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao’s arraignment, initially scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed until Feb. 16, to allow him time to meet with his two attorneys, who were appointed by the court during the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao, who used a Mandarin-language interpreter, used court papers to cover his face for much of the hearing and spoke only briefly to confirm his name when asked by Judge Susan Jakubowski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not enter a plea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the hearing, Wagstaffe released Zhao’s charging documents, which include seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. He said the charges were listed in the order in which the victims are believed to have been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If convicted of the charges, Zhao could receive the death penalty or face life in prison without the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Making that decision on the death penalty is something that will take place over the course of the next many, many months as we have so much more to learn about this individual, about the victims and their families and the harm that’s been inflicted here,” Wagstaffe said, noting that the massacre was the deadliest set of mass shootings in the county’s history. “So we have a long way to go before we make that decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that after Zhao’s arrest, the suspect spoke with sheriff’s investigators through an interpreter and did not request an attorney at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have a feeling on the motive at this point based on what he told us,” Wagstaffe said, but declined to provide specific details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say the grievances that he had were personal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao had been renting a trailer at California Terra Garden (formerly Mountain Mushroom Farm), where he had worked for years, a crisis-management consultant hired by the farm \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/25/us/california-shooting-half-moon-bay.html\">told The New York Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office on Wednesday confirmed the identities of six of the seven victims who were killed in Monday’s back-to-back shootings at two different mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims include Zhishen Liu, 73, of San Francisco; Aixiang Zhang, 74, of San Francisco; Qizhong Cheng, 66, of Half Moon Bay; Jingzhi Lu, 64, of Half Moon Bay; Marciano Martinez Jimenez, 50, of Moss Beach; and Yetao Bing, 43, whose residence is still unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>José Romero Pérez was the seventh person killed in the attack, according to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Chunli_Zhao-Complaint-Packet.pdf\">charging documents released Wednesday\u003c/a> by the San Mateo District Attorney’s Office. It also identified Pedro Romero Pérez, his brother, as the one surviving victim. He is currently being treated at Stanford Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican consulate confirmed that two of the deceased victims were Mexican nationals, as is survivor Pedro Romero Pérez, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/community/half-moon-bay-shooting-consulates-reach-out-to-families-of-victims-in-china-mexico/\">The San Francisco Standard\u003c/a>, which also reported that both Mexico and China will provide visa and travel assistance to the bereaved families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Servando Martinez Jimenez said his brother, Marciano Martinez Jimenez, 50, was a delivery person and manager at one of the farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a good person. He was polite and friendly with everyone. He never had any problems with anyone. I don’t understand why all this happened,” Martinez Jimenez said, in Spanish, while standing outside his Half Moon Bay home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his brother never mentioned Zhao or discussed any issues related to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marciano Martinez Jimenez had lived in the United States for 28 years after arriving from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, according to Servando Martinez Jimenez, who said he is now working with the Mexican consulate to get his brother’s body home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10 a.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>Prosecutors will charge a farmworker accused of killing seven of his co-workers and former co-workers in \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/northern-california-shootings-3eb00c19a36ad129ca7f0063f4b2aaf9\">back-to-back shootings\u003c/a> on Monday at two Half Moon Bay mushroom farms with seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charges, which San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe announced Wednesday morning, will be filed before the suspect, 66-year-old Chunli Zhao, makes his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not immediately clear whether Zhao had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhao, who is believed to have acted alone, also faces a special-circumstance allegation of multiple murder, as well as sentencing enhancements on each count for the use of a firearm, Wagstaffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charges include additional allegations that could result in life in prison without parole or the death penalty, although Gov. Gavin Newsom has issued a moratorium on executions. Among those allegations are that Zhao used a gun, caused great bodily injury, and killed multiple people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4:45 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> California leaders are calling for tighter laws and regulations for assault weapon sales and high-capacity magazines following deadly shootings in Monterey Park, Half Moon Bay and Oakland this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s said all the time, ‘Only in America. No. 1 in gun ownership, No. 1 in gun deaths.’ It’s not even complicated,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. “This happened on our watch. It doesn’t have to be this way. It wasn’t always this way. A few decades ago we didn’t experience these things. We have allowed this to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who recently visited residents and businesses reeling from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11938863/the-long-process-of-healing-aapi-community-members-react-to-the-lunar-new-year-mass-shooting\">mass shooting in Monterey Park near Los Angeles that killed 11 people\u003c/a>, appeared visibly shaken before reporters in Half Moon Bay on Tuesday. But he didn’t shy away from quickly politicizing the tragic event, calling out specific judges and politicians who have blocked gun safety legislation from moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m still waiting for Kevin McCarthy, the speaker of the House of Representatives. We haven’t heard a damn word from him. Not since Monterey Park, not here, not even one expression of prayers,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/\">39 mass shootings in the United States since the start of the year\u003c/a> — more than any other year on record this early into the new year — according to the Gun Violence Archive, an independent gun violence data and research organization, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which at least four victims are shot, either injured or killed, not including the shooter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the country’s mass shooting events have occurred since the federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have two horrific shootings in our state in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay come on the heels of the Lunar New Year is just unimaginable. It makes me think of everything we have done [to address gun violence in California],” said Assemblymember Phil Ting. “But unfortunately, it is still way too easy to purchase a legal firearm in this state. When two individuals who really absolutely have no right to have firearms and obtain it legally or illegally, there’s little we can do. My colleagues at the state level will be going back to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressmember Anna Eshoo echoed those sentiments and outrage. “We have unfinished business in our country to address gun violence and workplace violence. Until that is finished business, there will be pain in many communities,” she said. “The story of America is not only to meet the challenges, but to make good on the promises.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Kamala Harris will visit California on Wednesday to honor lives lost in the multiple mass shootings this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The seven people killed in Half Moon Bay were agricultural workers at two separate mushroom farms.

And when I say villages, I mean a clutch of farmhouses and barns and maybe a school or a stagecoach stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924296\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11924296\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Orange lichen crowns an old tombstone.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Dobbel family tombstone sits in a field of cracked cement in Purissima Cemetery.

This place was huge and opulent: 17 large rooms, indoor plumbing, imported carpets, even a ballroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn’t much in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.coastsidebuzz.com/history-lecture-the-lost-town-of-purissima/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">historical records\u003c/a> about Dobbel’s personality, or that of his wife, but it is widely believed Dobbel made his money off the first restaurant to serve waffles in San Francisco. What we do know is that he built many of the buildings in Purissima, like the saloon across the way from the mansion. Also, the Dobbels employed 50 men to farm wheat, barley and potatoes. The waffle king was essentially the economic pillar of Purissima during its founding years. South of Half Moon Bay, the little town appealed to more folks than Dobbel’s family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Half Moon Bay was known as Spanish Town because that was a place where a lot of people that were of Mexican heritage, Spanish heritage [lived],” Postel said. “They wanted to get away from what was happening with the Anglo-ization of California, so forth. They wanted to have a place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A diverse group of people moved to Half Moon Bay in the years that followed, many of them Roman Catholics, and — it’s a tale as old as California — when the Protestants made their way to the coast, “they didn’t feel quite comfortable in Spanish Town. So they created another place just a little bit further south, but right on a creek, a little bit inland,” Postel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11924297\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A huge Monterey cypress in the foreground dwarfs a rotting 19th century structure in the background.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Up Verde Road a ways and across from the cemetery, this rotting wood structure is believed by some to be one of two schools built in Purissima.

Some oil was discovered, but it\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11658023/oil-beneath-san-mateo-county-you-betcha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> wasn’t enough to make anybody rich\u003c/a>. And there were several, devastating crop failures, not to mention the time the Purissima Creek flooded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henry Dobbel, still the town’s biggest employer, went bankrupt. He was forced to sell his estate in 1890, and he died in 1891. Both he and his wife are buried in the village cemetery, along with a sobering number of people who died young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What killed people back then at such young ages? “A lot of the young women that you might see that are buried here could have died in childbirth,” Postel said. There were also workplace injuries, he said: “Farming accidents. Logging accidents. But I think most of it was disease. You know, medical assistance was very sparse. There was a town doctor in Half Moon Bay. There was one in Pescadero, too. But that’s a lot of miles between some of these remote farmhouses and a doctor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Purissima lasted all of 70 years, give or take. Because the town was never officially incorporated, we don’t know the population figures. The gravestones feature some of the big-for-the-coast Protestant names of the 19th century, though: Dobbel, of course, and Hutch, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.johnstonhouse.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johnston\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924302\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2011px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11924302\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2.jpg\" alt=\"A 1930s era photograph of a saloon.\" width=\"2011\" height=\"1459\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2.jpg 2011w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-800x580.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-1020x740.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-160x116.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-1536x1114.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-1920x1393.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2011px) 100vw, 2011px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Mateo County’s archives contain a student monograph written by Blair Hyde, a 1939 student at San Mateo Junior College.

And when I say villages, I mean a clutch of farmhouses and barns and maybe a school or a stagecoach stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924296\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11924296\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Orange lichen crowns an old tombstone.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Aug-01-10-25-17-AM-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Dobbel family tombstone sits in a field of cracked cement in Purissima Cemetery.

This place was huge and opulent: 17 large rooms, indoor plumbing, imported carpets, even a ballroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn’t much in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.coastsidebuzz.com/history-lecture-the-lost-town-of-purissima/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">historical records\u003c/a> about Dobbel’s personality, or that of his wife, but it is widely believed Dobbel made his money off the first restaurant to serve waffles in San Francisco. What we do know is that he built many of the buildings in Purissima, like the saloon across the way from the mansion. Also, the Dobbels employed 50 men to farm wheat, barley and potatoes. The waffle king was essentially the economic pillar of Purissima during its founding years. South of Half Moon Bay, the little town appealed to more folks than Dobbel’s family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Half Moon Bay was known as Spanish Town because that was a place where a lot of people that were of Mexican heritage, Spanish heritage [lived],” Postel said. “They wanted to get away from what was happening with the Anglo-ization of California, so forth. They wanted to have a place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A diverse group of people moved to Half Moon Bay in the years that followed, many of them Roman Catholics, and — it’s a tale as old as California — when the Protestants made their way to the coast, “they didn’t feel quite comfortable in Spanish Town. So they created another place just a little bit further south, but right on a creek, a little bit inland,” Postel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11924297\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A huge Monterey cypress in the foreground dwarfs a rotting 19th century structure in the background.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/rghfn4Zo-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Up Verde Road a ways and across from the cemetery, this rotting wood structure is believed by some to be one of two schools built in Purissima.

Some oil was discovered, but it\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11658023/oil-beneath-san-mateo-county-you-betcha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> wasn’t enough to make anybody rich\u003c/a>. And there were several, devastating crop failures, not to mention the time the Purissima Creek flooded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henry Dobbel, still the town’s biggest employer, went bankrupt. He was forced to sell his estate in 1890, and he died in 1891. Both he and his wife are buried in the village cemetery, along with a sobering number of people who died young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What killed people back then at such young ages? “A lot of the young women that you might see that are buried here could have died in childbirth,” Postel said. There were also workplace injuries, he said: “Farming accidents. Logging accidents. But I think most of it was disease. You know, medical assistance was very sparse. There was a town doctor in Half Moon Bay. There was one in Pescadero, too. But that’s a lot of miles between some of these remote farmhouses and a doctor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Purissima lasted all of 70 years, give or take. Because the town was never officially incorporated, we don’t know the population figures. The gravestones feature some of the big-for-the-coast Protestant names of the 19th century, though: Dobbel, of course, and Hutch, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.johnstonhouse.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johnston\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924302\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2011px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11924302\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2.jpg\" alt=\"A 1930s era photograph of a saloon.\" width=\"2011\" height=\"1459\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2.jpg 2011w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-800x580.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-1020x740.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-160x116.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-1536x1114.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/Photo-Jun-17-10-16-52-AM-2-1920x1393.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2011px) 100vw, 2011px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Mateo County’s archives contain a student monograph written by Blair Hyde, a 1939 student at San Mateo Junior College.

"content": "\u003cp>For parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the fear of dying with no solid plan in place for their children’s care runs deep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a clawing specter — that haunting, grinding specter — in your mind: What’s going to happen when you pass?” said Jeff Peck, founder and CEO of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bigwaveproject.org/farm/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Big Wave Project\u003c/a>, a community led by parents for their adult children in Half Moon Bay.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Michelle Garcia Winner, speech language pathologist\"]‘Humans are born to contribute to something greater than themselves. If a person only has a five-minute attention span and they can help for five minutes, that’s awesome, right? Because they feel like they’re part of something.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all began two decades ago, with Peck and his son starting Special Olympics basketball teams in this small coastal community a half hour’s drive south of San Francisco. Peck’s daughter, Elizabeth, has emotional and intellectual disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing over six feet tall, silver hair under his baseball cap, Peck has an easy but direct way of coaching. On a foggy Saturday on a field in Half Moon Bay, Peck instructs a small group of adults huddled around him to protect the ball. Then he tells them, “When I say rebound … ,” and everyone — including his daughter — screams, “Rebound!” at the tops of their lungs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea with these teams was for everyone to get a chance to hold the ball, to pass the ball, to aim for the backboard and, generally, have a good time with each other. The Pecks started with seven basketball players; now there are around 60, on four teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898281\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898281\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Two young men play basketball on a field on a foggy day.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1834\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-800x573.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-1020x731.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-160x115.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-1536x1100.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-2048x1467.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-1920x1376.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel (with the ball) and Matthew Hearn play basketball on a field at Big Wave. \u003ccite>(KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They started when they were 8. Some of them are 30. Some of them started when they were 20. Now they’re in their 40s, but they keep coming back because that’s the community which they created,” Peck said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As families sat in the bleachers over the years, the parents began to wonder whether these friendships could develop into something more permanent, a self-sustaining community of some kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have all different levels of ability on the basketball court, and the higher, better players would help the lesser players. That’s what this population is,” said Big Wave Project board member \u003ca href=\"https://www.bigwaveproject.org/kim-gainza/\">Kim Gainza\u003c/a>, mother of Emmy, who will live at Big Wave. “They support each other and help each other, and if somebody makes a basket, everybody in the gym is cheering,”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gainza summarized those conversations about the future:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Well, what’s your plan for Joey when you’re no longer here?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘Well, I don’t know.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘What’s your plan for Emmy when you’re no longer here?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An idea takes root\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1999, Peck bought a windy, grassy plot of land, about 20 acres, across from the Half Moon Bay Airport. At the time, he was mainly interested in providing a comfortable place for sports, with a little farming on the side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are rows of crops here: strawberries, peas, lettuce, squash and lavender. Colorful chickens go about their business in a large coop. Big Wave sells fresh eggs, mainly to their families. To raise money, they also sell baskets of goodies from their garden — lavender products, flowers and eggs every second and fourth Saturday of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898282\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898282\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A bed of strawberry plants grows.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1919\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-1536x1151.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-2048x1535.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-1920x1439.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Wave sells produce like strawberries, peas, lettuce, squash and lavender. \u003ccite>(KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Over the years, the parents’ ambition for the place grew. Today, it includes plans for apartments, a community café staffed by residents, and office space to rent out for income. The idea is to provide a place where their adult children and other residents who join will soon be able to live independently, in a community of their peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want your child to be safe, but you want your child to have opportunity, a community. You want them to have a full life,” said Peck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creating an intentional community for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is no small feat. Peck did well for himself as a contractor, which allowed him to buy this land 20 years ago. But it’s taken numerous hearings, environmental reviews and permit applications to get to the point where Big Wave could break ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the beginning, there were vociferous, local objections to the development. \u003ca href=\"https://www.smharbor.com/commissioner-sabrina-brennan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://www.smharbor.com/commissioner-sabrina-brennan\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Sabrina Brennan\u003c/a>, a former San Mateo County harbor commissioner who opposed the project, said they ran the gamut\u003cstrong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">: \u003c/strong>from concerns about the property being in a \u003ca href=\"///Users/pollystryker/Downloads/Skelly%20BigWaveWelness%202021%2010.18.21.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tsunami inundation zone\u003c/a> (mitigated in consultation with the county) and too close to \u003ca href=\"http://fitzgeraldreserve.org/visit\">Fitzgerald Marine Reserve\u003c/a>, to concerns that Big Wave’s residents would be too far away from social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major point of contention was Big Wave’s original proposal to build a large office park nearby, the proceeds of which would support the nonprofit, according to Gainza. Big Wave eventually dropped those plans to get approval from the \u003ca href=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2018/7/th6/th6-7-2018-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2018/7/th6/th6-7-2018-report.pdf\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">California Coastal Commission\u003c/a> and San Mateo County for the mixed-use development now under construction, with permits approved in 2018 and 2020. Loans, donations and grants will cover costs instead. Concerns raised in a lawsuit by a local sanitary district were settled in 2009.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong data-stringify-type=\"bold\"> \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn a statement, Big Wave spokesperson Sarah Sherwood wrote that Big Wave “has been through years of examination and regulation, including the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement and full approval and permits from the California Coastal Commission (2015), which Big Wave supports, as it advocates for adults with disabilities, the environment and the natural beauty of the Coast.” She added, “100 percent of all profits from farm sales, and any mom and pop businesses on the property go directly to our nonprofit, to serve the needs of adults with developmental disabilities, such as (autism), Down’s (syndrome) and brain injuries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The green light finally came during the pandemic. Now 68, Peck knows he has a limited window of time to establish something financially sustainable that can outlast him and the other original parents. “All of the revenue from these commercial assets [will] go to keep the operating costs low,” said Peck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A core group of families paid about $60,000 each for their adult child to have a place at Big Wave, although costs have risen with construction prices and county requirements, like a traffic light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the 57 apartments where Elizabeth and other adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities will live, there will be office space for rent, with some tenants already slated, like a martial arts academy, a florist, a culinary academy and a public café. The café will be overseen by Julie and Paul Shenkman, who run the popular \u003ca href=\"https://www.samschowderhouse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sam’s Chowder House\u003c/a> nearby. They’re Big Wave parents, too, and their child Sam will live at Big Wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be a breakfast-lunch café. It’ll be muffins and coffee and sandwiches and soups. It will provide a place for the kids to have a job,” Julie Shenkman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The model is kind of like a co-op, or an intentional community or commune, with a board — including residents — to run it all. Peck knows this is a big, expensive experiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my life’s work,” he said. “When you have children that look at the world differently, you get an insight into life and death and history and spirituality and wisdom that you wouldn’t get otherwise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Support for kids, but not for adults \u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.dds.ca.gov/RC/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of Developmental Services\u003c/a> serves more than 350,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It’s a sizable — and vulnerable — population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This state is more generous than many others. But still, parents have to know how to work the system, according to Michelle Garcia Winner, a San Jos\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">é\u003c/span>-based speech language pathologist who’s worked with people on the autism spectrum for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said there are plenty of programs for \u003cem>kids\u003c/em> with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), but fewer that are available for adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t ever see our government being able to manage the needs of adults in a meaningful way,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Winner said overcoming isolation and finding purpose is very important for the IDD community, just as it is for the rest of us. “Humans are born to contribute to something greater than themselves. If a person only has a five-minute attention span and they can help for five minutes, that’s awesome, right? Because they feel like they’re part of something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Lawrence Fung, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, is the proud father of a neurodiverse teenager. He directs the \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/neurodiversity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stanford Neurodiversity Project\u003c/a>, which runs several programs including a specialized employment program for people with autism called \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/neurodiversity/NaW.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neurodiversity at Work\u003c/a>. It pairs people on the autism spectrum with jobs well-suited to their skill sets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of neurodiverse people have significant strengths that can contribute much to society, if they are discovered,” Fung said. He added that it’s important for people like his son to be able to find work and build a strong sense of identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A tale of two brothers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898285\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Two boys grin as they show off toy airplanes in an outdoor setting.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1891\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-800x591.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-1020x754.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-160x118.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-1536x1135.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-2048x1513.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-1920x1419.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matthew (left) and Daniel Hearn as children. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Nancy Cadigan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Matthew Cadigan Hearn is in his mid-30s, 6 feet, 3 inches tall, with wavy brown hair and black-rimmed glasses. He’s also just 11 months older than his brother Daniel, one of the family members who keeps a close eye on Matthew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Asperger’s was the term … that Matt was diagnosed with until they kind of changed it to being on the autistic spectrum,” Daniel said. The two of them have been a part of the Big Wave Project for more than a decade. Daniel coaches the Cougars, one of four teams at Big Wave. “Some of them can’t catch the ball thrown at full speed and some can,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Matt is the big man on the court. He is there to get rebounds and blocks and hopefully throw the ball back up if he catches a rebound,” said Daniel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked what position he likes to play, Matt said, “Due to my height, I was either a power forward or center, so I was having to get in the scrimmage and be a bit of a punching bag at times.” Matthew floats through the teams and is thinking about becoming a coach himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel knows the fear of what could happen to his brother Matthew one day, if the brothers get separated or, worse, if Daniel dies. Matthew lives now with an uncle in South San Francisco, but those who don’t have family willing to step up can face grim alternatives, like group homes that can feel institutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel said people like his brother shouldn’t be warehoused in grim assisted-living facilities, as they often are in California. “What is schizophrenia? What is autism? What is Down syndrome?” he asks. “These [are] things that affect the community and shouldn’t be hidden away, you know? Something that’s so public … and accepting and welcoming [like Big Wave] is just so awesome,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Wave, Daniel said, has given Matthew an opportunity to explore and grow as a member of a community. “Matt has his own social circle here, people asking for advice and him really just holding his own audience when talking to a group of people. It was cool to walk into a situation where it’s not, ‘Oh, this is Daniel’s brother.’ It’s like, ‘No, I’m Matt’s brother. This is his space.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Wave meets people where they are. It’s OK here for Matthew to work out issues he’s struggling with, without being condemned or dismissed or patronized, said Daniel. “He’s started a bad habit of slapping his forehead when playing basketball. He’ll miss a shot and get really angry and call himself, ‘Stupid, stupid, stupid!’ And I’m like, ‘Where did that come from? Why are you doing that?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898008\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-scaled.jpeg\" alt='A weather beaten sign outdoors says, \"Welcome to Bid Wave: Join Us Saturday Mornings, 2nd + 4th\"' width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Wave has been a place for members to gather for two decades.

And it’s OK to be guilty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Wave has been a critical solace and support to the brothers, and Daniel said he hopes to move into one of the planned caretaker apartments, to help his brother transition to independent living.

Peck’s daughter, Elizabeth, has emotional and intellectual disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing over six feet tall, silver hair under his baseball cap, Peck has an easy but direct way of coaching. On a foggy Saturday on a field in Half Moon Bay, Peck instructs a small group of adults huddled around him to protect the ball. Then he tells them, “When I say rebound … ,” and everyone — including his daughter — screams, “Rebound!” at the tops of their lungs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea with these teams was for everyone to get a chance to hold the ball, to pass the ball, to aim for the backboard and, generally, have a good time with each other. The Pecks started with seven basketball players; now there are around 60, on four teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898281\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898281\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Two young men play basketball on a field on a foggy day.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1834\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-800x573.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-1020x731.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-160x115.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-1536x1100.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-2048x1467.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Daniel-and-Matt-playing-basketball-1-1920x1376.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel (with the ball) and Matthew Hearn play basketball on a field at Big Wave. \u003ccite>(KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They started when they were 8.

That’s what this population is,” said Big Wave Project board member \u003ca href=\"https://www.bigwaveproject.org/kim-gainza/\">Kim Gainza\u003c/a>, mother of Emmy, who will live at Big Wave. “They support each other and help each other, and if somebody makes a basket, everybody in the gym is cheering,”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gainza summarized those conversations about the future:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Well, what’s your plan for Joey when you’re no longer here?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘Well, I don’t know.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘What’s your plan for Emmy when you’re no longer here?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An idea takes root\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1999, Peck bought a windy, grassy plot of land, about 20 acres, across from the Half Moon Bay Airport. At the time, he was mainly interested in providing a comfortable place for sports, with a little farming on the side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are rows of crops here: strawberries, peas, lettuce, squash and lavender. Colorful chickens go about their business in a large coop. Big Wave sells fresh eggs, mainly to their families. To raise money, they also sell baskets of goodies from their garden — lavender products, flowers and eggs every second and fourth Saturday of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898282\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898282\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A bed of strawberry plants grows.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1919\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-1536x1151.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-2048x1535.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/IMG_7059-1920x1439.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Wave sells produce like strawberries, peas, lettuce, squash and lavender. \u003ccite>(KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Over the years, the parents’ ambition for the place grew. Today, it includes plans for apartments, a community café staffed by residents, and office space to rent out for income. The idea is to provide a place where their adult children and other residents who join will soon be able to live independently, in a community of their peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want your child to be safe, but you want your child to have opportunity, a community. You want them to have a full life,” said Peck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creating an intentional community for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is no small feat. Peck did well for himself as a contractor, which allowed him to buy this land 20 years ago. But it’s taken numerous hearings, environmental reviews and permit applications to get to the point where Big Wave could break ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the beginning, there were vociferous, local objections to the development. \u003ca href=\"https://www.smharbor.com/commissioner-sabrina-brennan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://www.smharbor.com/commissioner-sabrina-brennan\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Sabrina Brennan\u003c/a>, a former San Mateo County harbor commissioner who opposed the project, said they ran the gamut\u003cstrong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">: \u003c/strong>from concerns about the property being in a \u003ca href=\"///Users/pollystryker/Downloads/Skelly%20BigWaveWelness%202021%2010.18.21.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tsunami inundation zone\u003c/a> (mitigated in consultation with the county) and too close to \u003ca href=\"http://fitzgeraldreserve.org/visit\">Fitzgerald Marine Reserve\u003c/a>, to concerns that Big Wave’s residents would be too far away from social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major point of contention was Big Wave’s original proposal to build a large office park nearby, the proceeds of which would support the nonprofit, according to Gainza. Big Wave eventually dropped those plans to get approval from the \u003ca href=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2018/7/th6/th6-7-2018-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2018/7/th6/th6-7-2018-report.pdf\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">California Coastal Commission\u003c/a> and San Mateo County for the mixed-use development now under construction, with permits approved in 2018 and 2020. Loans, donations and grants will cover costs instead. Concerns raised in a lawsuit by a local sanitary district were settled in 2009.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong data-stringify-type=\"bold\"> \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn a statement, Big Wave spokesperson Sarah Sherwood wrote that Big Wave “has been through years of examination and regulation, including the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement and full approval and permits from the California Coastal Commission (2015), which Big Wave supports, as it advocates for adults with disabilities, the environment and the natural beauty of the Coast.” She added, “100 percent of all profits from farm sales, and any mom and pop businesses on the property go directly to our nonprofit, to serve the needs of adults with developmental disabilities, such as (autism), Down’s (syndrome) and brain injuries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The green light finally came during the pandemic. Now 68, Peck knows he has a limited window of time to establish something financially sustainable that can outlast him and the other original parents. “All of the revenue from these commercial assets [will] go to keep the operating costs low,” said Peck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A core group of families paid about $60,000 each for their adult child to have a place at Big Wave, although costs have risen with construction prices and county requirements, like a traffic light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the 57 apartments where Elizabeth and other adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities will live, there will be office space for rent, with some tenants already slated, like a martial arts academy, a florist, a culinary academy and a public café. The café will be overseen by Julie and Paul Shenkman, who run the popular \u003ca href=\"https://www.samschowderhouse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sam’s Chowder House\u003c/a> nearby. They’re Big Wave parents, too, and their child Sam will live at Big Wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be a breakfast-lunch café. It’ll be muffins and coffee and sandwiches and soups. It will provide a place for the kids to have a job,” Julie Shenkman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The model is kind of like a co-op, or an intentional community or commune, with a board — including residents — to run it all. Peck knows this is a big, expensive experiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my life’s work,” he said. “When you have children that look at the world differently, you get an insight into life and death and history and spirituality and wisdom that you wouldn’t get otherwise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Support for kids, but not for adults \u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.dds.ca.gov/RC/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of Developmental Services\u003c/a> serves more than 350,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It’s a sizable — and vulnerable — population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This state is more generous than many others. But still, parents have to know how to work the system, according to Michelle Garcia Winner, a San Jos\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">é\u003c/span>-based speech language pathologist who’s worked with people on the autism spectrum for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said there are plenty of programs for \u003cem>kids\u003c/em> with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), but fewer that are available for adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t ever see our government being able to manage the needs of adults in a meaningful way,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Winner said overcoming isolation and finding purpose is very important for the IDD community, just as it is for the rest of us. “Humans are born to contribute to something greater than themselves. If a person only has a five-minute attention span and they can help for five minutes, that’s awesome, right? Because they feel like they’re part of something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Lawrence Fung, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, is the proud father of a neurodiverse teenager. He directs the \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/neurodiversity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stanford Neurodiversity Project\u003c/a>, which runs several programs including a specialized employment program for people with autism called \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/neurodiversity/NaW.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neurodiversity at Work\u003c/a>. It pairs people on the autism spectrum with jobs well-suited to their skill sets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of neurodiverse people have significant strengths that can contribute much to society, if they are discovered,” Fung said. He added that it’s important for people like his son to be able to find work and build a strong sense of identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A tale of two brothers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898285\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Two boys grin as they show off toy airplanes in an outdoor setting.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1891\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-800x591.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-1020x754.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-160x118.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-1536x1135.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-2048x1513.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/MatthewL_DanielR-by-Nancy-Cadigan-2-1920x1419.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matthew (left) and Daniel Hearn as children. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Nancy Cadigan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Matthew Cadigan Hearn is in his mid-30s, 6 feet, 3 inches tall, with wavy brown hair and black-rimmed glasses. He’s also just 11 months older than his brother Daniel, one of the family members who keeps a close eye on Matthew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Asperger’s was the term … that Matt was diagnosed with until they kind of changed it to being on the autistic spectrum,” Daniel said. The two of them have been a part of the Big Wave Project for more than a decade. Daniel coaches the Cougars, one of four teams at Big Wave. “Some of them can’t catch the ball thrown at full speed and some can,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Matt is the big man on the court. He is there to get rebounds and blocks and hopefully throw the ball back up if he catches a rebound,” said Daniel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked what position he likes to play, Matt said, “Due to my height, I was either a power forward or center, so I was having to get in the scrimmage and be a bit of a punching bag at times.” Matthew floats through the teams and is thinking about becoming a coach himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel knows the fear of what could happen to his brother Matthew one day, if the brothers get separated or, worse, if Daniel dies. Matthew lives now with an uncle in South San Francisco, but those who don’t have family willing to step up can face grim alternatives, like group homes that can feel institutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel said people like his brother shouldn’t be warehoused in grim assisted-living facilities, as they often are in California. “What is schizophrenia? What is autism? What is Down syndrome?” he asks. “These [are] things that affect the community and shouldn’t be hidden away, you know? Something that’s so public … and accepting and welcoming [like Big Wave] is just so awesome,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Wave, Daniel said, has given Matthew an opportunity to explore and grow as a member of a community. “Matt has his own social circle here, people asking for advice and him really just holding his own audience when talking to a group of people. It was cool to walk into a situation where it’s not, ‘Oh, this is Daniel’s brother.’ It’s like, ‘No, I’m Matt’s brother. This is his space.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Wave meets people where they are. It’s OK here for Matthew to work out issues he’s struggling with, without being condemned or dismissed or patronized, said Daniel. “He’s started a bad habit of slapping his forehead when playing basketball. He’ll miss a shot and get really angry and call himself, ‘Stupid, stupid, stupid!’ And I’m like, ‘Where did that come from? Why are you doing that?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898008\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-scaled.jpeg\" alt='A weather beaten sign outdoors says, \"Welcome to Bid Wave: Join Us Saturday Mornings, 2nd + 4th\"' width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/Big-Wave-sign-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Wave has been a place for members to gather for two decades.

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.
