They went to the local timber mill, picked up some redwood planks and shaped them into boards using knives. Their boards were close to 18 feet long and weighed more 200 pounds. When they dropped them into the river and surfed those waves, local reporters were there to capture the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This moment, according to Stoner, cements in stone that surfing on the mainland United States originated in Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside the museum, a plaque commemorates that day with an engraving of the three princes.

The most controversial question facing the state is deciding who should pay when power lines touch off destructive blazes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has set off a huge political fight in the state capitol. On Thursday, lawmakers heard hours of testimony on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11682315/governor-jerry-brown-proposal-would-make-it-harder-to-sue-utilities-for-fire-damages\">a proposal by Governor Jerry Brown\u003c/a> to tweak state liability laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, utilities can be on the hook financially for fires even if they weren’t negligent in maintenance. Brown isn’t proposing a complete repeal of the liability laws, but he wants to throw the question to the courts. He wants judges to weigh the benefits in each case of the electrical equipment that caused the damage against the harm caused to property when deciding who is liable for damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very real scenario. State fire investigators have found Pacific Gas & Electric, the state’s largest utility, responsible for 16 of last year’s devastating Northern California wildfires. Those fires killed dozens of people and destroyed thousands of homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a representative of the governor told lawmakers that the change would bring the electric industry in California more in line with flood control districts, which aren’t forced to pay for property damage if they followed state safety laws and regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Senator Hannah Beth Jackson, whose central coast district was devastated by last year’s Thomas Fire, wasn’t buying it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m troubled by the fact that you’re trying to compare the two as apples to apples when they’re really not,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of her constituents are suing Southern California Edison for damages caused by the Thomas Fire, which, until this week, was the biggest fire in state history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Ventura, cattle rancher Richard Atmore is one of those suing Edison. He says utilities should have done more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They never wanted to participate in the vegetation management practices they did 40, 50 years ago, but all of a sudden they got more interested in profits than they were in prevention work,” he said\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utilities, however, argue that, as climate change makes wildfires more frequent and severe, they won’t be able to survive financially if they’re held liable for damages. They are warning that if they run into financial problems, the state’s ambitious climate change goals — an issue near and dear to Brown — will be at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s existing liabilities laws weren’t made for the new normal that we face going forward of these climate driven wildfires,” said Steve Malnight, a senior vice president at PG&E. “It’s creating really significant financial risk to the utilities which will limit our ability to continue making the investments we need going forward\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is taking this political fight seriously. The utility has spent the same amount on lobbying, $1.6 million, between April and June this year as it spent in all of 2017. That’s on top of nearly $1 million in political donations to key players this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said recently that he’s trying to find a middle ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My goal was to try to find a reasonable balance that will reward players including utilities for doing the right thing but make them liable when they didn’t take the steps that common sense and prudence would warrant,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s Malnight said Brown’s legislation is a good start, but doesn’t go far enough. Meanwhile, Ventura cattle rancher Atmore, sees the proposal as a giveaway to a powerful, connected corporation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the governor’s proposal is too far slanted towards protecting this huge corporation of the utility companies. They give a tremendous amount of money but just because they give a lot of money lobbying does not mean that you looked the other way when they cause a big mistake,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s now up to lawmakers to decide how to strike a balance. They only have three more weeks, until the end of the legislative session, to do it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The most controversial question facing the state is deciding who should pay when power lines touch off destructive blazes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has set off a huge political fight in the state capitol. On Thursday, lawmakers heard hours of testimony on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11682315/governor-jerry-brown-proposal-would-make-it-harder-to-sue-utilities-for-fire-damages\">a proposal by Governor Jerry Brown\u003c/a> to tweak state liability laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, utilities can be on the hook financially for fires even if they weren’t negligent in maintenance. Brown isn’t proposing a complete repeal of the liability laws, but he wants to throw the question to the courts. He wants judges to weigh the benefits in each case of the electrical equipment that caused the damage against the harm caused to property when deciding who is liable for damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very real scenario. State fire investigators have found Pacific Gas & Electric, the state’s largest utility, responsible for 16 of last year’s devastating Northern California wildfires. Those fires killed dozens of people and destroyed thousands of homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a representative of the governor told lawmakers that the change would bring the electric industry in California more in line with flood control districts, which aren’t forced to pay for property damage if they followed state safety laws and regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He says utilities should have done more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They never wanted to participate in the vegetation management practices they did 40, 50 years ago, but all of a sudden they got more interested in profits than they were in prevention work,” he said\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utilities, however, argue that, as climate change makes wildfires more frequent and severe, they won’t be able to survive financially if they’re held liable for damages. They are warning that if they run into financial problems, the state’s ambitious climate change goals — an issue near and dear to Brown — will be at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s existing liabilities laws weren’t made for the new normal that we face going forward of these climate driven wildfires,” said Steve Malnight, a senior vice president at PG&E. “It’s creating really significant financial risk to the utilities which will limit our ability to continue making the investments we need going forward\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is taking this political fight seriously. The utility has spent the same amount on lobbying, $1.6 million, between April and June this year as it spent in all of 2017. That’s on top of nearly $1 million in political donations to key players this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said recently that he’s trying to find a middle ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My goal was to try to find a reasonable balance that will reward players including utilities for doing the right thing but make them liable when they didn’t take the steps that common sense and prudence would warrant,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s Malnight said Brown’s legislation is a good start, but doesn’t go far enough. Meanwhile, Ventura cattle rancher Atmore, sees the proposal as a giveaway to a powerful, connected corporation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the governor’s proposal is too far slanted towards protecting this huge corporation of the utility companies. They give a tremendous amount of money but just because they give a lot of money lobbying does not mean that you looked the other way when they cause a big mistake,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s now up to lawmakers to decide how to strike a balance. They only have three more weeks, until the end of the legislative session, to do it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>In March 2011, a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit northeastern Japan. The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City.

I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate.

It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.' And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine. I jumped up in the air, pumped my fist up and said, “YES! We've connected!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also realized that Kamome was more than just tsunami debris. For Rikuzentakata, this boat was a glimmer of hope for the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamome eventually returned to Japanese shores, thanks to the NOAA and the Japanese Consulate. It was transported on a freighter via the Port of San Francisco. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">City officials from Rikuzentakata greeted the boat at the docks in October 2013, and as part of the celebration Takata High invited John Steven and his friends -- who had cleaned the boat -- to visit them in Japan. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10798112\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/19/tsunami-boat-creates-ties-between-crescent-city-and-japanese-fishing-town/rs17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10798112\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10798112\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Del Norte High School and Takata High School students connect. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Del Norte High School and Takata High School students connect. \u003ccite>(Humboldt State Kamome Gallery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John remembers meeting with Takata High School students in February 2014.

And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine. I jumped up in the air, pumped my fist up and said, “YES! We've connected!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also realized that Kamome was more than just tsunami debris. For Rikuzentakata, this boat was a glimmer of hope for the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamome eventually returned to Japanese shores, thanks to the NOAA and the Japanese Consulate.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, Tuesday 1 p.m.: \u003c/strong> President Obama made it official today, issuing a proclamation that adds a 1,665-acre parcel at Point Arena to the California Coastal National Monument. The proclamation, which the president signed earlier today at the White House, waxes poetic on the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands that will become part of the monument: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Some of California’s most spectacular wildlife make use of this striking landscape and its diverse vegetation communities. The Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands provide important habitat for harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and an occasional elephant seal, which visitors can catch sight of from the vantage of the terrace’s western bluffs. The terrace itself supports thriving native bunchgrass prairie and coastal scrub communities. Generally low-lying vegetation is punctuated by a rare bishop pine forest and the southernmost natural example of a shore pine forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bunchgrass prairie is home to the endemic \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/arcata/es/inverts/behrensss/bss_bfly.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Behren’s silverspot butterfly\u003c/a>, which is dependent on the presence of the dog violet. The rare and endemic Point Arena mountain beaver makes use of the diverse habitats in these lands. A wide array of rare bird species also uses the area’s interconnected habitats, including the black oystercatcher, the little willow flycatcher, the yellow warbler, and the black-crowned night heron. Squadrons of brown pelicans are a frequent sight, gliding low over the powerful waves, while snowy plovers are sometimes seen foraging along the surf line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128951\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Behrens silver-spot butterfly, an endangered species found at the new Point Arena unit of the California Coastal National Monument.

(Gordon Pratt via U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Water plays an essential role in sustaining and connecting plant and animal life in this rugged landscape. At the northern end of these lands, the Garcia River ends its 44-mile journey to the Pacific. The estuary formed by the meeting of these waters provides both a nursery for juvenile fish and a transition zone for a variety of far-roaming salmonids, including central California coast coho salmon, the California coastal Chinook salmon, and northern California steelhead. These anadromous species depend on the Garcia River estuary and its flow through the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands to access their upstream spawning habitat. Across the river, powerful winds sculpt an extensive dune system, its shifting sands pocketed with brackish, semi-permanent ponds. Hathaway Creek, which feeds into the Garcia River, also passes through the public lands and provides important riparian habitat. The area’s salt marshes, brackish pools, and freshwater springs and seeps support an array of plant and animal species, including Humboldt Bay owl’s clover, as well as the rare California red-legged frog.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A clutch of dignitaries and Mendocino officials attended the proclamation signing, including: Reps. Jared Huffman and Mike Thompson; Leslie Dahlhoff, former mayor of Point Arena; Scott Schneider, president and CEO of Visit Mendocino County; Eloisa Oropeza, tribal chair of the Manchester-Point Arena Band of Pomo Indians; Larry Stornetta, rancher and former land owner of a portion of the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands; and Merita Whatley, manager of the Point Arena Lighthouse and member of Point Arena Merchants Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is scheduled to visit Point Arena on Wednesday for a celebration of the proclamation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> Probably the first question most people have about Point Arena, even we worldly travelers in the Bay Area, is, “Where’s that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answer: It’s a place — two places, actually, a headland with a beautiful lighthouse and a nearby town — on the Mendocino Coast about 100 miles northwest of San Francisco. It’s also about to become the first land-based addition to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/blm_special_areas/nm/ccnm/ccnm_brochures.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Coastal National Monument\u003c/a>, a strip of more than 20,000 offshore islands and rocks stretching from the Mexican border to the Oregon state line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama is expected to sign an order Tuesday that will add 1,665 acres at Point Arena to the national monument. The property, known as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/ukiah/stornetta.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stornetta-Point Arena Public Lands\u003c/a>, includes coastside meadows and cliffs adjacent to the Point Arena Lighthouse. The property also includes the Garcia River estuary, which provides spawning grounds for coho and chinook salmon and steelhead trout.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘It’s part of the branding that could bring travelers and tourism to the Mendocino coast.’\u003ccite>Rep. Jared Huffman\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Sen. Barbara Boxer and Reps. Mike Thompson and Jared Huffman, all North Bay Democrats, have introduced bills adding the Stornetta lands to the coastal national monument. Huffman’s bill made it through the House last year, but the Senate has yet to act on Boxer’s proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman, whose 2nd Congressional District includes the entire Northern California coast, said the parcel “is a diverse piece of property even though it’s in a pretty small, self-contained area. I can’t imagine a more perfect gateway to the coastal national monument.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Point Arena is about halfway between the popular tourist town of Gualala in the south and the heavily visited stretch of shoreline between the Navarro River and Fort Bragg. It’s on a pocket of the Mendocino coast that sees relatively few visitors. Huffman says the national monument designation could help change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s part of the branding that could bring travelers and tourism to the Mendocino coast,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, who held a public “listening session” on the national monument proposal in November, is scheduled to visit Point Arena on Wednesday to celebrate the new designation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> Reporting on California land policy, planning and conservation is supported by a grant from the S.D.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, Tuesday 1 p.m.: \u003c/strong> President Obama made it official today, issuing a proclamation that adds a 1,665-acre parcel at Point Arena to the California Coastal National Monument. The proclamation, which the president signed earlier today at the White House, waxes poetic on the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands that will become part of the monument: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Some of California’s most spectacular wildlife make use of this striking landscape and its diverse vegetation communities. The Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands provide important habitat for harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and an occasional elephant seal, which visitors can catch sight of from the vantage of the terrace’s western bluffs. The terrace itself supports thriving native bunchgrass prairie and coastal scrub communities. Generally low-lying vegetation is punctuated by a rare bishop pine forest and the southernmost natural example of a shore pine forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bunchgrass prairie is home to the endemic \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/arcata/es/inverts/behrensss/bss_bfly.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Behren’s silverspot butterfly\u003c/a>, which is dependent on the presence of the dog violet. The rare and endemic Point Arena mountain beaver makes use of the diverse habitats in these lands. A wide array of rare bird species also uses the area’s interconnected habitats, including the black oystercatcher, the little willow flycatcher, the yellow warbler, and the black-crowned night heron. Squadrons of brown pelicans are a frequent sight, gliding low over the powerful waves, while snowy plovers are sometimes seen foraging along the surf line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128951\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Behrens silver-spot butterfly, an endangered species found at the new Point Arena unit of the California Coastal National Monument.

(Gordon Pratt via U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Water plays an essential role in sustaining and connecting plant and animal life in this rugged landscape. At the northern end of these lands, the Garcia River ends its 44-mile journey to the Pacific. The estuary formed by the meeting of these waters provides both a nursery for juvenile fish and a transition zone for a variety of far-roaming salmonids, including central California coast coho salmon, the California coastal Chinook salmon, and northern California steelhead. These anadromous species depend on the Garcia River estuary and its flow through the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands to access their upstream spawning habitat. Across the river, powerful winds sculpt an extensive dune system, its shifting sands pocketed with brackish, semi-permanent ponds. Hathaway Creek, which feeds into the Garcia River, also passes through the public lands and provides important riparian habitat. The area’s salt marshes, brackish pools, and freshwater springs and seeps support an array of plant and animal species, including Humboldt Bay owl’s clover, as well as the rare California red-legged frog.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A clutch of dignitaries and Mendocino officials attended the proclamation signing, including: Reps. Jared Huffman and Mike Thompson; Leslie Dahlhoff, former mayor of Point Arena; Scott Schneider, president and CEO of Visit Mendocino County; Eloisa Oropeza, tribal chair of the Manchester-Point Arena Band of Pomo Indians; Larry Stornetta, rancher and former land owner of a portion of the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands; and Merita Whatley, manager of the Point Arena Lighthouse and member of Point Arena Merchants Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is scheduled to visit Point Arena on Wednesday for a celebration of the proclamation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> Probably the first question most people have about Point Arena, even we worldly travelers in the Bay Area, is, “Where’s that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answer: It’s a place — two places, actually, a headland with a beautiful lighthouse and a nearby town — on the Mendocino Coast about 100 miles northwest of San Francisco. It’s also about to become the first land-based addition to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/blm_special_areas/nm/ccnm/ccnm_brochures.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Coastal National Monument\u003c/a>, a strip of more than 20,000 offshore islands and rocks stretching from the Mexican border to the Oregon state line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
