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.",

Under a 2010 agreement signed by former Mayor Gavin Newsom and U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, a San Francisco Democrat, the city is to pay the Navy $105 million plus a share of development profits – as long as the Navy meets a series of transfer deadlines, which hinge in part on a timely cleanup of hazardous waste. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But state officials have complained that the Navy rushed its evaluation of Treasure Island's radioactive past and present and that the contractors it hired overlooked radioactive contamination and improperly handled soil containing radioactive material, according to internal memos and emails obtained by The Bay Citizen. The Navy also failed to thoroughly examine the island for low-level radiation, according to the documents, leaving the possibility that it has not identified all of the radioactive waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Navy and the state Department of Toxic Substances Control say that Treasure Island poses no health risk to residents and that the government is conducting a complete cleanup of the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/environment/story/radiation-history-treasure-island-more/1/\">The Bay Citizen reported\u003c/a> that radioactive contamination on the island was more widespread than previously disclosed, two dozen of the island’s 2,500 residents met with Navy officials to ask why they had not been informed about the potential dangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-term exposure to radium, the most common radioactive material found on the island, potentially can increase the risk of diseases such as leukemia and bone cancer. Those diseases, when they do occur, often appear years after exposure. But even then, it can be difficult to prove a connection between exposure and illness. The Navy decommissioned the Treasure Island Naval Station and opened it to the public in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an Aug. 31 letter delivered to Treasure Island residents, Tymoff said that in the future, San Francisco would approach the Navy’s cleanup claims with skepticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city will review, examine and question all reports, testing and analysis from the Navy, and the regulatory agencies, to ensure the Navy fulfills their promise to clean the island,” Tymoff wrote, adding that San Francisco will “uphold the highest standards to ensure that human health and safety is protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Jane Kim said during a hearing last week that she has received complaints from several residents who fear the island is not a safe place to live. She and Supervisor John Avalos called for today's hearing to learn more about radioactive contamination on the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worry that just with the word ‘potential’ and with the word ‘radiation,’ and with the history that’s there, that gives me great concern,” Avalos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Under a 2010 agreement signed by former Mayor Gavin Newsom and U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, a San Francisco Democrat, the city is to pay the Navy $105 million plus a share of development profits – as long as the Navy meets a series of transfer deadlines, which hinge in part on a timely cleanup of hazardous waste. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But state officials have complained that the Navy rushed its evaluation of Treasure Island's radioactive past and present and that the contractors it hired overlooked radioactive contamination and improperly handled soil containing radioactive material, according to internal memos and emails obtained by The Bay Citizen. The Navy also failed to thoroughly examine the island for low-level radiation, according to the documents, leaving the possibility that it has not identified all of the radioactive waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Navy and the state Department of Toxic Substances Control say that Treasure Island poses no health risk to residents and that the government is conducting a complete cleanup of the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/environment/story/radiation-history-treasure-island-more/1/\">The Bay Citizen reported\u003c/a> that radioactive contamination on the island was more widespread than previously disclosed, two dozen of the island’s 2,500 residents met with Navy officials to ask why they had not been informed about the potential dangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-term exposure to radium, the most common radioactive material found on the island, potentially can increase the risk of diseases such as leukemia and bone cancer. Those diseases, when they do occur, often appear years after exposure. But even then, it can be difficult to prove a connection between exposure and illness. The Navy decommissioned the Treasure Island Naval Station and opened it to the public in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an Aug. 31 letter delivered to Treasure Island residents, Tymoff said that in the future, San Francisco would approach the Navy’s cleanup claims with skepticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city will review, examine and question all reports, testing and analysis from the Navy, and the regulatory agencies, to ensure the Navy fulfills their promise to clean the island,” Tymoff wrote, adding that San Francisco will “uphold the highest standards to ensure that human health and safety is protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Jane Kim said during a hearing last week that she has received complaints from several residents who fear the island is not a safe place to live. She and Supervisor John Avalos called for today's hearing to learn more about radioactive contamination on the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worry that just with the word ‘potential’ and with the word ‘radiation,’ and with the history that’s there, that gives me great concern,” Avalos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

He tells us unions rose and fell with the economy and boy, did they have \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banking_crises\">a lot\u003c/a> of booms and busts back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [unions] tended to grow and thrive in times of prosperity,” Cherny says, “when it was possible for employers to improve wages or to improve hours because there was such a demand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there were the recessions, and they were often so fierce that unions simply collapsed. New ones sprouted up only when the economy recovered. Employers also banded then broke up, with greater and lesser effect on the local labor market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1890s, employers had the upper hand, and they used it to quash labor unions, picking them off one by one. Few unions survived the decade, “but those that did,\" Cherny says, \"began to form central bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building trade unions, for example, banded together. “The plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the roofers and so forth.” That way, a strike by one union was a strike by all, and they could shut down – or threaten to shut down – the entire construction industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Front Federation pulled together the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, the longshoremen's unions, and a brand new local for the Teamsters. The Teamsters' refusal to haul luggage from a non-union \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drayage\">drayage\u003c/a> firm caused the strike, but also provided a convenient focal point for the latest employer’s association - and for that matter, the City Front Federation.

Soon hundreds of locked out Teamsters found themselves among others who had already been on strike: restaurant cooks and waiters, bakers and bakery wagon drivers, metal polishers, and all fourteen unions of the Iron Trades Council, who were part of a national strike.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-74902\" title=\"1-Scab-Escort\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1901 scab teamster with a San Francisco police escort. On the side of the wagon is the company name McNab & Smith. (Courtesy of SF's Marine Firemen's Union)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was July, 1901, high summer, and Professor Cherny notes regional produce was ready to roll or rot. The employers brought in strikebreakers. The city brought in police. The employers brought in \"specials\" who acted like police with city sanction. Still, the strike dragged on. Picketing workers were clubbed and even shot. They threw stones at the strikebreakers, in turn, and marbles under the horses pulling the carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employers went to Sacramento to seek the aid of Republican Governor \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Gage\">Henry Gage\u003c/a>. Bring in the militia, they suggested. He didn't do that, but he did come to San Francisco - and proceeded to meet with \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/Father_Yorke_and_the_labor_movement_in_S.html?id=jmk6AAAAMAAJ\">Father Peter Yorke\u003c/a>, an Irish Catholic priest whose support was critical for Gage in the 1898 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't know what Peter Yorke said to Governor Gage,\" Cherny says, \"but what Governor Gage did was to bring in the Drayman's Association and the Teamsters Union, and close the door on the employer's association.\" Alone at the negotiating table, the two principals quickly settled their differences. Finally, the strike was over. It was October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus was born the inspiration for the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Labor_Party_%28California%29\">Union Labor Party\u003c/a>, which nominated Eugene Schmitz, president of the local Musicians' Union, as its candidate for Mayor. The ULP put up a whole slate of candidates that November and won three supervisors' seats in addition to the mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus began the reign of the ULP, which lasted through 1911. Even by labor accounts, there was a lot of corruption. In short, you had to go through one man, the Republican Party's Abraham Ruef, to land a city permit or contract, and this quickly created a situation where everybody had too much at stake to complain openly. In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All right, lesson over.

New ones sprouted up only when the economy recovered. Employers also banded then broke up, with greater and lesser effect on the local labor market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1890s, employers had the upper hand, and they used it to quash labor unions, picking them off one by one. Few unions survived the decade, “but those that did,\" Cherny says, \"began to form central bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building trade unions, for example, banded together. “The plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the roofers and so forth.” That way, a strike by one union was a strike by all, and they could shut down – or threaten to shut down – the entire construction industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Front Federation pulled together the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, the longshoremen's unions, and a brand new local for the Teamsters. The Teamsters' refusal to haul luggage from a non-union \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drayage\">drayage\u003c/a> firm caused the strike, but also provided a convenient focal point for the latest employer’s association - and for that matter, the City Front Federation.

Soon hundreds of locked out Teamsters found themselves among others who had already been on strike: restaurant cooks and waiters, bakers and bakery wagon drivers, metal polishers, and all fourteen unions of the Iron Trades Council, who were part of a national strike.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-74902\" title=\"1-Scab-Escort\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1901 scab teamster with a San Francisco police escort. On the side of the wagon is the company name McNab & Smith. (Courtesy of SF's Marine Firemen's Union)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was July, 1901, high summer, and Professor Cherny notes regional produce was ready to roll or rot. The employers brought in strikebreakers. The city brought in police. The employers brought in \"specials\" who acted like police with city sanction. Still, the strike dragged on. Picketing workers were clubbed and even shot. They threw stones at the strikebreakers, in turn, and marbles under the horses pulling the carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employers went to Sacramento to seek the aid of Republican Governor \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Gage\">Henry Gage\u003c/a>. Bring in the militia, they suggested. He didn't do that, but he did come to San Francisco - and proceeded to meet with \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/Father_Yorke_and_the_labor_movement_in_S.html?id=jmk6AAAAMAAJ\">Father Peter Yorke\u003c/a>, an Irish Catholic priest whose support was critical for Gage in the 1898 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't know what Peter Yorke said to Governor Gage,\" Cherny says, \"but what Governor Gage did was to bring in the Drayman's Association and the Teamsters Union, and close the door on the employer's association.\" Alone at the negotiating table, the two principals quickly settled their differences. Finally, the strike was over. It was October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus was born the inspiration for the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Labor_Party_%28California%29\">Union Labor Party\u003c/a>, which nominated Eugene Schmitz, president of the local Musicians' Union, as its candidate for Mayor. The ULP put up a whole slate of candidates that November and won three supervisors' seats in addition to the mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus began the reign of the ULP, which lasted through 1911. Even by labor accounts, there was a lot of corruption. In short, you had to go through one man, the Republican Party's Abraham Ruef, to land a city permit or contract, and this quickly created a situation where everybody had too much at stake to complain openly. In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He'd then load the photos into his tablet computer, go to the location and try and match the original shot through the viewfinder of his camera. When he had the right shot, he would blend it with the old photo using Photoshop and other computer programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I did the first few, I looked at them and I though, this happened before and this can happen again,\" Clover said. \"You see a picture of a lady getting in a Mercedes, and in 1906 there were dead horses lying around that spot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said word about the first part of his project spread through Facebook after it was posted in 2010, but fizzled in a few weeks.

Clover, 40, blends historic photos of the damage caused by the 1906 earthquake and fire with photos of the same location today. He released the first part of the project in \u003ca href=\"http://shawnclover.com/2010/10/01/1906-2010-the-quake-blend-part-i/\">2010\u003c/a>; \u003ca href=\"http://shawnclover.com/2012/08/17/1906-today-the-earthquake-blend-part-ii/\">part two\u003c/a> was posted online this month and has been \u003ca href=\"https://plus.google.com/100884676252145293797/posts/Fg6akg8GQgt\">generating online buzz\u003c/a> this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project began with Clover tracking down publicly-available photos of the destruction caused by the fire and matching them to the location in San Francisco at which they were shot. He'd then load the photos into his tablet computer, go to the location and try and match the original shot through the viewfinder of his camera. When he had the right shot, he would blend it with the old photo using Photoshop and other computer programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I did the first few, I looked at them and I though, this happened before and this can happen again,\" Clover said. \"You see a picture of a lady getting in a Mercedes, and in 1906 there were dead horses lying around that spot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said word about the first part of his project spread through Facebook after it was posted in 2010, but fizzled in a few weeks. When part two was posted on Aug. 17, there was little reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
