As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

"content": "\u003cp>Biologist John Martin surveyed a plateau on a mountainside at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fws.gov/refuge/san_diego/\">San Diego National Wildlife Refuge \u003c/a>on a recent spring morning. The landscape is covered with coastal sage scrub, once the dominant habitat in the Southern California region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This green ribbon of natural habitat that wraps around Mount San Miguel is a sharp contrast to the urban environment that surrounds the refuge's 11,000 acres of protected lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin could see downtown San Diego from this hard-to-reach vantage spot, but that is not what he was there to look at.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This open area that I'm sitting in is high-quality habitat for Quino checkerspot butterfly,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The endangered Quino checkerspots are flying on the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge this spring for the first time in years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/04/2017-04-10c-tcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2017/04/10/LarvaofQuinoCheckerspotButterfly004LGtx700.jpg\" Title=\"Rare Butterfly Returns to San Diego National Wildlife Refuge\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin knelt in a patch of coastal sage scrub. The spaces between bigger plants were covered with algae, lichens and mosses that keep invasive weeds at bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But allow this plant, this tiny little grasslike plant — plantago erecta — to grow in profusion. And the caterpillars of the Quino checkerspot need this plant to survive,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This habitat is considered prime territory for the Quino. In fact, the fragile butterfly lays eggs on or around plantago erecta, the scientific name for the California plantain, in the spring. The insect's eggs and the larvae spend most of their life on the plant, the ground or safely tucked in a weblike cocoon. Quinos have a specialized ability to hibernate when environmental conditions are not good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they emerge from summer dormancy, when the winter rains come out, they cause this plant to emerge and start growing caterpillars,\" Martin said, \"to emerge from dormancy and eat this, and grow and shed their skins, and grow some more until they're about 3 centimeters long.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Quino Checkerspots Used to Be Quite Common\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For about three weeks in the spring, Quinos transform into adult butterflies. That is when they breed and propagate the next generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their black, brown and white colored wings used to be a common sight. Millions flew from the Santa Monica mountains to Baja California, but the population crashed in the mid-1970s. Quinos finally got endangered species protection in 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sprawling suburbs stole a lot of the butterfly's habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire and drought also took a toll on an increasingly isolated species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like a bouncing ball. This is a species that booms and busts,\" said Susan Wynn, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.fws.gov/carlsbad/\">U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\u003c/a> biologist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3jnotGpbhI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wynn spent a lot of time and energy working to improve the butterfly's future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But each time the ball bounces it's not bouncing quite as high. And some of these sites, it's just bounced so low that they don't have that resiliency or that adjacent population to rebound from, so we're hoping to get the techniques sort of figured out so that when we need to give it a little boost — bounce the ball a little higher — we'll have that ability, that we'll have that in our toolbox,\" Wynn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biologists spent two unsuccessful years trying to capture local female Quinos on the San Diego refuge. They had no luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, it was very concerning, but it was also reinforcing that we were on the right track, that this was something very important to do,\" Wynn said. \"And, so last year we did end up going up to Riverside because they had populations that were big enough to collect from.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those genetically similar butterflies were collected and brought to a tiny trailer on the San Diego Zoo's grounds.

The spaces between bigger plants were covered with algae, lichens and mosses that keep invasive weeds at bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But allow this plant, this tiny little grasslike plant — plantago erecta — to grow in profusion. And the caterpillars of the Quino checkerspot need this plant to survive,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This habitat is considered prime territory for the Quino. In fact, the fragile butterfly lays eggs on or around plantago erecta, the scientific name for the California plantain, in the spring. The insect's eggs and the larvae spend most of their life on the plant, the ground or safely tucked in a weblike cocoon. Quinos have a specialized ability to hibernate when environmental conditions are not good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they emerge from summer dormancy, when the winter rains come out, they cause this plant to emerge and start growing caterpillars,\" Martin said, \"to emerge from dormancy and eat this, and grow and shed their skins, and grow some more until they're about 3 centimeters long.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Quino Checkerspots Used to Be Quite Common\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For about three weeks in the spring, Quinos transform into adult butterflies. That is when they breed and propagate the next generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their black, brown and white colored wings used to be a common sight. Millions flew from the Santa Monica mountains to Baja California, but the population crashed in the mid-1970s.

And some of these sites, it's just bounced so low that they don't have that resiliency or that adjacent population to rebound from, so we're hoping to get the techniques sort of figured out so that when we need to give it a little boost — bounce the ball a little higher — we'll have that ability, that we'll have that in our toolbox,\" Wynn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biologists spent two unsuccessful years trying to capture local female Quinos on the San Diego refuge.

He signed off on the settlement Friday in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump doesn’t admit any wrongdoing under the terms of the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement applies to three separate lawsuits — two class-actions and a fraud case. The $25 million deal includes payouts to more than 6,000 Trump U students who paid thousands of dollars for courses they describe as worthless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One student had pushed against the deal, as The Associated Press reports:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“The only holdup appeared to be a Florida woman’s claim that she should be allowed to opt out of the settlement and sue the president on her own — a move that would likely scuttle the entire agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Attorneys for former customers said that their clients would get at least 90 percent of their money back under the deal, based on the roughly 3,730 claims submitted. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Curiel said the high payments weighed in favor of approval, and he noted that only two of about 7,000 eligible class-action members objected to the terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>You may recall that on the campaign trail, Trump accused Curiel of being biased because he is “Mexican.” That claim was false — Curiel was born in Indiana — and even House Speaker Paul Ryan acknowledged that it was “sort of like the textbook definition of racism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>John Sepulvado, host of KQED's The California Report each weekday, is reporting from the U.S.-Mexico border in Southern California this week. He filed this journal entry after watching a San Diego International Airport crowd protesting President Trump's immigration order on Sunday night.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]M[/dropcap]y mom got divorced in the early 1990s and soon after started working six days a week to support me and my three siblings. My grandpa – the son of Irish immigrants – watched the four of us on many Saturdays during my middle school years. A kind, funny and gentle man from a poor family, my grandpa was a master at entertaining us four kids using the least amount of money possible. On many afternoons, that meant loading the four of us into his 1975 Chrysler Cordoba and driving us to Lindbergh Field to watch the planes take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My family was not born to the jet-set class, but my grandfather wanted us to know that we could aspire to it should we want more than our bus-stop beginnings. And at Lindbergh Field, in between watching the planes land and take off while we ate Cracker Jacks, we would imagine the places we would go when we were older. We would take turns guessing where the planes were off to. We would try to picture how the food tasted, what the clothes looked like and what kind of music the people listened to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My grandpa would also tell us stories about Charles Lindbergh, the namesake of San Diego’s airport. Drawing on the great Irish tradition of exaggerating already impressive feats, he painted Lindbergh as a hero of the U.S. who single-handedly flew across the world in a rickety old airplane. The Lindbergh of my grandpa’s telling drank from coconuts in the tropics. He parked his single prop airplane to scale the Himalayas wearing nothing more than his pilot's outfit. He did loop-the-loops over the Great Wall of China, he lassoed the Eiffel Tower. These tall tales did what they were supposed to do -- they captured the attention of his space-age grandchildren and created a hero. He helped us see that the world was bigger than the neighborhood we grew up in, without ever spending a penny on a plane ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, I would be blessed enough to travel the world for peaceful purposes, a luxury my grandfather never had. He had left the country once to fight in Europe. A janitor and taxi driver, he would never be able to afford to leave his two daughters -- one of them special needs – alone, never mind travel overseas. And just as I came to learn that the Eiffel Tower could not be lassoed, and the Himalayas could not be so flippantly scaled, I would read that Charles Lindbergh was not the clear-cut hero my grandfather made him out to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindbergh was a daring pioneer aviator who found ways to fly even when he couldn't find the money to do so. Indeed, Lindbergh’s feat of crossing the Atlantic by himself, nonstop, undoubtedly belongs as one of the most important stories of human flight, somewhere between Icarus and John Glenn. And it was that act that prompted San Diego to name its airport after him, in the city where the aircraft he flew was built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it wasn't just his aviation skills that put Lindbergh in the U.S. history books. Most notably, in the 1930s, Lindbergh praised Hitler's Nazi regime for what he saw as its creation of an orderly society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The organized vitality of Germany was what most impressed me,\" Lindbergh wrote in 1938. \"The unceasing activity of the people, and the convinced dictatorial direction to create the new factories, airfields, and research laboratories.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He would be \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lindbergh/sfeature/fallen.html\" target=\"_blank\">honored by the Third Reich\u003c/a> with one of its highest honors, the Service Cross of the German Eagle.

The project grew out of an effort at Pillars of the Community, an organization dedicated to helping those affected by the criminal justice system. The California Report’s Sasha Khokha spoke with two of the book’s contributors, who also read from their work.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/301966017″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beto Vasquez was once a high school dropout, and has overcome homelessness, incarceration and addiction, and managed to change the trajectory of his life. Beto recently graduated from UCSD, obtaining a master’s degree in biology. He ultimately plans to fulfill a doctoral degree and pursue a career as a community college administrator. He says his life has been a journey “from cells to cells,” that is, from living in them to studying them. He is an educational advocate for marginalized groups and a great proponent of diversity in STEM fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/301970997″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilnisha “Tru7h” Sutton was raised in San Diego and is currently focused on her music career and activism. She’s paid a high price for her past misdemeanor charges: She recently lost a job as a teacher’s aide because her background check didn’t clear within the three-day time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beto, you were one of the first to join the community storytelling workshops about a year and a half ago. What drew you to the idea of learning to write your own story?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a lifelong learner and trying so many things that didn’t work out, I’ve just been on this trend of challenging myself. Learning how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. The writing group really provided me an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, and ended up being really therapeutic for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You spent most of your life incarcerated, and now, you’ve pursued your master’s in biology at UC San Diego. The story you wrote explores how you turned your life around, and includes an encounter you had in the research lab. What does it mean to you to put this kind of story down on the page, to see it in print?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being able to share such a minute instance in my life, such a small detail, with other folks, is huge. Sometimes it’s just our own insecurities, those few small moments that we’ve had that can make or break us. Overcoming the obstacles that I’ve overcome, being able to totally change the trajectory of my life, can hopefully serve as an example to people who already doubt themselves, who’ve been told they’re never going to be anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h, as a teenager in San Diego, you got caught up with a man who was a pimp. What was it like to revisit those painful moments and share them in a writing workshop with people you didn’t know?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was very tough, to see my mistakes right in front of me. Actually, I’ve changed a lot, but at the same time, I guess I had to really deal with it head-on. To search myself, and to forgive myself, and that I love myself. It was tough, but at the same time, it was beautiful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When I think of San Diego, I think beaches, SeaWorld, the U.S.-Mexico border. How do you think these ideas challenge the idea most Californians have of your city?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h\u003c/strong>: People think we’re just living the life out here because of our weather. But it’s a struggle. The cost of living is very high. In Southeast San Diego, a lot of us are struggling just to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beto\u003c/strong>: For people who just have this image of San Diego as being 70 degrees all year round and everything’s perfect, we need to put a little more humanity into that. We have a large homeless population here because of that great weather, but they’re not being served. We have pockets of gentrification, where people are being displaced. But we also have our fair share of folks who care, who have the resilience and tenacity to take it a step forward to do something about it. This book is just the beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the most surprising thing you learned from listening to or reading the other stories in this book? There’s a big range, from a Muslim woman who was homeless as a child in San Diego, to a teen who watched his brother get arrested by a SWAT team\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h\u003c/strong>: For me, it was just the struggle for what a lot of people are dealing with in our community. Southeast San Diego, the area we live in, our people have been through a lot. But they’re survivors. They’re willing to put it on paper, and be free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beto\u003c/strong>: Growing up in a rough neighborhood, growing up as a male, growing up with privilege that you’re sometimes not aware of. It’s really tricky being able to step outside of that, taking in what the hardships are that other people that don’t look like you, or perhaps that even grew up in the same neighborhoods as you. That’s really what this book is doing: allowing us the opportunity to crack that open, normalizing situations, normalizing lifestyles, normalizing making mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h\u003c/strong>: It also brought us closer as a community. When we see each other now, it’s like, OK, now, it’s my brother, my sister. I know a little bit of your story, your struggle. I could trust these people with my story, my secrets, and yet you still love me, you’re still here for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The project grew out of an effort at Pillars of the Community, an organization dedicated to helping those affected by the criminal justice system. The California Report’s Sasha Khokha spoke with two of the book’s contributors, who also read from their work.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”450″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/301966017″&visual=true&”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/301966017″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beto Vasquez was once a high school dropout, and has overcome homelessness, incarceration and addiction, and managed to change the trajectory of his life.

What drew you to the idea of learning to write your own story?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a lifelong learner and trying so many things that didn’t work out, I’ve just been on this trend of challenging myself. Learning how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. The writing group really provided me an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, and ended up being really therapeutic for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You spent most of your life incarcerated, and now, you’ve pursued your master’s in biology at UC San Diego. The story you wrote explores how you turned your life around, and includes an encounter you had in the research lab. What does it mean to you to put this kind of story down on the page, to see it in print?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being able to share such a minute instance in my life, such a small detail, with other folks, is huge. Sometimes it’s just our own insecurities, those few small moments that we’ve had that can make or break us. Overcoming the obstacles that I’ve overcome, being able to totally change the trajectory of my life, can hopefully serve as an example to people who already doubt themselves, who’ve been told they’re never going to be anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h, as a teenager in San Diego, you got caught up with a man who was a pimp. What was it like to revisit those painful moments and share them in a writing workshop with people you didn’t know?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was very tough, to see my mistakes right in front of me. Actually, I’ve changed a lot, but at the same time, I guess I had to really deal with it head-on. To search myself, and to forgive myself, and that I love myself. It was tough, but at the same time, it was beautiful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When I think of San Diego, I think beaches, SeaWorld, the U.S.-Mexico border. How do you think these ideas challenge the idea most Californians have of your city?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h\u003c/strong>: People think we’re just living the life out here because of our weather. But it’s a struggle. The cost of living is very high. In Southeast San Diego, a lot of us are struggling just to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beto\u003c/strong>: For people who just have this image of San Diego as being 70 degrees all year round and everything’s perfect, we need to put a little more humanity into that. We have a large homeless population here because of that great weather, but they’re not being served. We have pockets of gentrification, where people are being displaced. But we also have our fair share of folks who care, who have the resilience and tenacity to take it a step forward to do something about it. This book is just the beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the most surprising thing you learned from listening to or reading the other stories in this book? There’s a big range, from a Muslim woman who was homeless as a child in San Diego, to a teen who watched his brother get arrested by a SWAT team\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h\u003c/strong>: For me, it was just the struggle for what a lot of people are dealing with in our community. Southeast San Diego, the area we live in, our people have been through a lot. But they’re survivors. They’re willing to put it on paper, and be free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beto\u003c/strong>: Growing up in a rough neighborhood, growing up as a male, growing up with privilege that you’re sometimes not aware of. It’s really tricky being able to step outside of that, taking in what the hardships are that other people that don’t look like you, or perhaps that even grew up in the same neighborhoods as you. That’s really what this book is doing: allowing us the opportunity to crack that open, normalizing situations, normalizing lifestyles, normalizing making mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tru7h\u003c/strong>: It also brought us closer as a community. When we see each other now, it’s like, OK, now, it’s my brother, my sister. I know a little bit of your story, your struggle. I could trust these people with my story, my secrets, and yet you still love me, you’re still here for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
