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.",

The plant, Arctostaphylos franciscana, was discovered this way, according to this excellent history from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0802-extinct-plant-20110802,0,5470501.story\">\u003cstrong>LA Times\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(O)n Oct. 16, 2009, botanist Daniel Gluesenkamp was driving home to San Francisco from a climate change conference in Sonoma. Others at the event had waxed eloquent about complex engineering solutions and adaptation strategies. Gluesenkamp pushed for the most basic of fixes, he recalled, \"things like saving the rare plants today. Find them where they are today and protect them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, he said, \"something caught my eye. Just a flash of a glimpse. And it looked like a manzanita, in a site where they'd kind of removed some trees from behind it.\" The shrub was on a traffic island in the middle of a busy highway, part of a billion-dollar-plus construction project aided by federal stimulus funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gluesenkamp, who is executive director of the Calflora database of Golden State plants, drove by three times, trying to get a better glimpse. He eventually called Lew Stringer, an ecologist at the Presidio Trust, who raced across the highway and officially identified the plant.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The plant now resides in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Presidio. (Dog owners, take heed.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, KQED's Paul Lancour talked to Brent Plater, Executive Director of the Wild Equity Institute, one of the environmental groups that petitioned for the endangered species listing. Plater discussed the importance of the Endangered Species Act in the recovery of species on the brink of extinction, and how a listing might help the San Francisco manzanita, specifically. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited transcript follows the audio:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/09/manzanita.mp3\">\u003cstrong>Audio: Wild Equity Institute's Brent Plater on the proposal list the San Francisco manzanita as an endangered species\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/09/manzanita.mp3|titles=manzanita]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>What has happened concerning the plant and the Endangered Species Act?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today the Fish and Wildlife Service announced it will propose protecting the Franciscan manzanita as an endangered species. It was rediscovered in the wild in San Francisco after having thought to be lost for about 60 years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the only one remaining. The reason this is a big deal is that the protection of the Endangered Species Act is by far the most important set of conservation tools we have available in the US to make sure that species on the brink of extinction do not become extinct and in fact recovers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What comes along with the designation as an endangered species is a whole series of protections that include protections for the individual plant, critical habitat designations that protect the habitat of the plant, not just where it is now but where we need to reintroduce it to. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You get a formal binding recovery plan to help it recover so we transform this one plant into a functioning species again. And of course you get prioritization and funding that will flow to protected species that unprotected species don't get. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How will this help this particular plant? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We started off in 2009 with one individual plant. That's not enough to get species recovery; you have to have at least two and start from there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Endangered Species Act allows us to create a binding recovery plan so we can transform this individual plant into a functioning species again. That plan is binding on regulatory agencies and will be funded; money will be put behind it. And the individual plant will be protected from harm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Presidio Trust, where the plant is, has a mandate to become a profitable business by a certain date; if they fail to do that, the protections of the Presidio Trust could go away. But the endangered species protection will stay with that plant, even if other circumstances change. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, the habitat the plant is found, those places we know the plant needs to be reintroduced so we can have a fully functioning species again -- those come with the Endangered Species Act designation. None of them apply right now. Study after study has shown that the strongest suite of regulatory tools, which have made the most difference in keeping species from becoming extinct, are the protections of the ESA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are you going to propagate this plant? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily there are plants that were saved back in the 1940s by some pioneering and adventurous botanists and were kept in some botanical gardens in the Bay Area and beyond. The genetic lineage of those plants even today is well known. Fortunately for this manzanita, it is possible to find a mate and get this plant to seed again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will happen concerning this proposal by Fishand Wildlife? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They'll take public comments both on the protection for the plant and also for what areas should be designated critical habitat. After the public comment period closes, they'll have a certain period of time, no more than a year, to make the final rule, and at that point the plant becomes formally protected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public comment period is not really an issue; it's highly unlikely that someone will find a couple of hundred manzanitas and convince Fish and wildlife that it's not endangered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they're really asking for is where the plant should be, where the critical habitat are that we should protect to makes sure the recovery efforts move forward. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. This is the first time the Obama administration has proposed to protect a species proposed by a citizen petition. Every other one has been rejected or not ruled upon. So just to get to this place, is a huge milestone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it shouldn't be. It should be that the administration protects species on the brink with more regulation. But they haven't. Their record at this point is as bad as or in some ways worse than the Bush admin during its first term. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is an easy case. It doesn't get more endangered than having just one left in the wild. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The plant, Arctostaphylos franciscana, was discovered this way, according to this excellent history from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0802-extinct-plant-20110802,0,5470501.story\">\u003cstrong>LA Times\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(O)n Oct. 16, 2009, botanist Daniel Gluesenkamp was driving home to San Francisco from a climate change conference in Sonoma. Others at the event had waxed eloquent about complex engineering solutions and adaptation strategies. Gluesenkamp pushed for the most basic of fixes, he recalled, \"things like saving the rare plants today. Find them where they are today and protect them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, he said, \"something caught my eye. Just a flash of a glimpse. And it looked like a manzanita, in a site where they'd kind of removed some trees from behind it.\" The shrub was on a traffic island in the middle of a busy highway, part of a billion-dollar-plus construction project aided by federal stimulus funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gluesenkamp, who is executive director of the Calflora database of Golden State plants, drove by three times, trying to get a better glimpse. He eventually called Lew Stringer, an ecologist at the Presidio Trust, who raced across the highway and officially identified the plant.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The plant now resides in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Presidio. (Dog owners, take heed.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, KQED's Paul Lancour talked to Brent Plater, Executive Director of the Wild Equity Institute, one of the environmental groups that petitioned for the endangered species listing. Plater discussed the importance of the Endangered Species Act in the recovery of species on the brink of extinction, and how a listing might help the San Francisco manzanita, specifically. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited transcript follows the audio:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/09/manzanita.mp3\">\u003cstrong>Audio: Wild Equity Institute's Brent Plater on the proposal list the San Francisco manzanita as an endangered species\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was rediscovered in the wild in San Francisco after having thought to be lost for about 60 years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the only one remaining. The reason this is a big deal is that the protection of the Endangered Species Act is by far the most important set of conservation tools we have available in the US to make sure that species on the brink of extinction do not become extinct and in fact recovers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What comes along with the designation as an endangered species is a whole series of protections that include protections for the individual plant, critical habitat designations that protect the habitat of the plant, not just where it is now but where we need to reintroduce it to. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You get a formal binding recovery plan to help it recover so we transform this one plant into a functioning species again. And of course you get prioritization and funding that will flow to protected species that unprotected species don't get. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How will this help this particular plant? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We started off in 2009 with one individual plant. That's not enough to get species recovery; you have to have at least two and start from there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Endangered Species Act allows us to create a binding recovery plan so we can transform this individual plant into a functioning species again. That plan is binding on regulatory agencies and will be funded; money will be put behind it. And the individual plant will be protected from harm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Presidio Trust, where the plant is, has a mandate to become a profitable business by a certain date; if they fail to do that, the protections of the Presidio Trust could go away. But the endangered species protection will stay with that plant, even if other circumstances change. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, the habitat the plant is found, those places we know the plant needs to be reintroduced so we can have a fully functioning species again -- those come with the Endangered Species Act designation. None of them apply right now. Study after study has shown that the strongest suite of regulatory tools, which have made the most difference in keeping species from becoming extinct, are the protections of the ESA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are you going to propagate this plant? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily there are plants that were saved back in the 1940s by some pioneering and adventurous botanists and were kept in some botanical gardens in the Bay Area and beyond. The genetic lineage of those plants even today is well known. Fortunately for this manzanita, it is possible to find a mate and get this plant to seed again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will happen concerning this proposal by Fishand Wildlife? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They'll take public comments both on the protection for the plant and also for what areas should be designated critical habitat. After the public comment period closes, they'll have a certain period of time, no more than a year, to make the final rule, and at that point the plant becomes formally protected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public comment period is not really an issue; it's highly unlikely that someone will find a couple of hundred manzanitas and convince Fish and wildlife that it's not endangered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they're really asking for is where the plant should be, where the critical habitat are that we should protect to makes sure the recovery efforts move forward. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. This is the first time the Obama administration has proposed to protect a species proposed by a citizen petition. Every other one has been rejected or not ruled upon. So just to get to this place, is a huge milestone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it shouldn't be. It should be that the administration protects species on the brink with more regulation. But they haven't. Their record at this point is as bad as or in some ways worse than the Bush admin during its first term. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is an easy case. It doesn't get more endangered than having just one left in the wild. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If we can do that in San Francisco, which is already a somewhat media-saturated town, we can do it anywhere else in the country.

We have philanthropic contributions from foundations, we have some large individual donors, we have a lot of small donors. We have hundreds of donors who have given us a small amount of money through our membership program.\u003cbr>\nIt’s membership kind of like in public broadcasting. You give $35 a year and get access to some of our best events. You get a tee-shirt, you get some memorabilia. And free delivery of the newspaper when it comes out quarterly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How’s membership been developing? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We started out with a very small pilot project and we have about 200 dues paying members over the past two years. Some of those members have lapsed, so we’re going back this fall to have a membership campaign to have everyone renew, tell them why its important to support independent public media that may not be the traditional form that you find on radio and television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your offline publication, that would seem to be pretty expensive to produce…\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually not as expensive as it might look. We have a small print run, 8000 copies, and we sell about half of them, most of the rest get distributed to senior and community centers for free. So it’s kind of a mixed paid and charity model. But our main goal is to get it out to a broad cross section of the population, people who can afford it and people who can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also helps tremendously that we don’t have advertising, because our printing bill is about half of what it would be if we had ads. So we see this as part of a model to do noncommercial print, and shift the focus from selling eyeballs to advertisers to selling news to consumers. really stressing the value of independent journalism itself and not have this third party subsidize the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advertising is going away for many media. Advertising across the board has really collapsed in newspapers and magazines and to a lesser extent broadcast. There needs to be new model, and we’re a smaller example of what can be done in that regard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many were destroyed by the massive fire that raged after the quake, but some remain today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"About 20th street, plus or minus a few blocks, is where everything burned down north of here,\" says John. \"With the Mission, it's incredible how much hasn't changed over the past 120 years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The maps reveal historical oddities, like \u003ca href=\"http://burritojustice.com/2011/06/27/1905-sf-sanborn-maps-now-in-color/\">the railroad line\u003c/a> that went right through the Mission. Or businesses that have stayed roughly the same, like mortuaries or transit centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The maps show a lot of horse and buggy shops that hoofed horses and fixed wagons. And you see these places turn into car and automotive shops by the 1950s,\" says John.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These maps once sat on a library shelf at the \u003ca href=\"http://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=0200002501\">San Francisco Public Library\u003c/a>, but recently the library partnered with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.davidrumsey.com/\">David Rumsey Map Collection\u003c/a> to scan them in high-resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migurski says new technology means they can be used in the real world again. \"I think the new place we're at is that we're all carrying around devices in our pockets that are good enough to do this on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_37250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/LeviStrauss.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-37250\" title=\"LeviStrauss\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/LeviStrauss.jpg\" alt=\"Map\" width=\"600\" height=\"326\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Levi Strauss & Co. building in 1905 on the corner of Mission and Fremont. Credit: San Fransico Public Library\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since the maps are on separate pages, Migurski and John want to piece them together, so anyone can search. \"That overlay is what we're looking for. That ability to type in your present day address and find out that your street was named something else and you live in what used to be a brothel or something,\" says Migurski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with hundreds of maps, it's no simple task. So they built an \u003ca href=\"http://sanborn.maptcha.org/\">\u003cstrong>online tool\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> and asked the public to help them \"geo-rectify\" the maps. \"The tool presents a user with the old map and today's map and they help do a rough positioning of the old map. The street widths are often not to scale, but user can rotate it to match today's satellite map.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, almost all the maps have been placed. \"We've got a lot of map nerd friends and so it didn't take very long,\" Migurski says. (\u003ca href=\"http://sanborn.maptcha.org/\">\u003cstrong>Check out the result\u003c/strong>s\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migurski says the idea is to connect people to their neighborhoods in a new way. \"I think it's that ability to put everything into the same digital space and to be able to wind time forward and wind time backward that really animates me about this,\" says Migurski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sanborn company created fire insurance maps after the fire as well, which Migurski and John are also interested in digitizing. \"It'll be shocking to see once we get the 1915 maps done to compare them,\" John says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stories behind the maps are John's motivation. \"It's about context. A hundred years ago there were people running around, going to work and coming home. And you can figure out where they worked and where they lived, where they had their beer and the brewery they drank it from. It gives you context for the neighborhood you live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

And you see these places turn into car and automotive shops by the 1950s,\" says John.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These maps once sat on a library shelf at the \u003ca href=\"http://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=0200002501\">San Francisco Public Library\u003c/a>, but recently the library partnered with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.davidrumsey.com/\">David Rumsey Map Collection\u003c/a> to scan them in high-resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migurski says new technology means they can be used in the real world again. \"I think the new place we're at is that we're all carrying around devices in our pockets that are good enough to do this on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_37250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/LeviStrauss.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-37250\" title=\"LeviStrauss\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/LeviStrauss.jpg\" alt=\"Map\" width=\"600\" height=\"326\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Levi Strauss & Co. building in 1905 on the corner of Mission and Fremont. Credit: San Fransico Public Library\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since the maps are on separate pages, Migurski and John want to piece them together, so anyone can search. \"That overlay is what we're looking for. That ability to type in your present day address and find out that your street was named something else and you live in what used to be a brothel or something,\" says Migurski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with hundreds of maps, it's no simple task. So they built an \u003ca href=\"http://sanborn.maptcha.org/\">\u003cstrong>online tool\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> and asked the public to help them \"geo-rectify\" the maps. \"The tool presents a user with the old map and today's map and they help do a rough positioning of the old map. The street widths are often not to scale, but user can rotate it to match today's satellite map.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, almost all the maps have been placed. \"We've got a lot of map nerd friends and so it didn't take very long,\" Migurski says. (\u003ca href=\"http://sanborn.maptcha.org/\">\u003cstrong>Check out the result\u003c/strong>s\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migurski says the idea is to connect people to their neighborhoods in a new way. \"I think it's that ability to put everything into the same digital space and to be able to wind time forward and wind time backward that really animates me about this,\" says Migurski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sanborn company created fire insurance maps after the fire as well, which Migurski and John are also interested in digitizing. \"It'll be shocking to see once we get the 1915 maps done to compare them,\" John says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stories behind the maps are John's motivation. \"It's about context. A hundred years ago there were people running around, going to work and coming home. And you can figure out where they worked and where they lived, where they had their beer and the brewery they drank it from. It gives you context for the neighborhood you live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And certainly if they're going to be in a position to do that, there needs to be a policy that states that will only happen in the most extraordinary circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all have the right under the First Amendment and the California Constitution to speak out and to demonstrate in public places. We also have the right to assemble, to protest government action. When we have government shutting down a communications network to prevent assembly, to prevent protest, to prevent criticism of the government, that really goes to the core of the First Amendment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, the First Amendment doesn't protect the right of people to disrupt train service, and the government may impose reasonable restrictions on protest. But they can't simply shut down a park because they don't want an unpopular group to come protest there; they shouldn't be shutting down a communications network just because they don't like what's being said on it. That's contrary to the First Amendment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Professor Eugene Volokh of UCLA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the federal constitution, based on press accounts of what the facts are, it seems to be that BART was acting within its constitutional power. It doesn't mean it’s a good idea… but the important thing is that BART was turning off cell phone hardware that was on its property that it either owned or had control over. That's very different from the government shutting down private networks or interfering with communications on private property or for that matter on streets and parks, which are treated similar to private property in this respect under the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we're talking about government property, government transportation networks, which the U.S. Supreme Court has said are non-public forums under the First Amendment, the government as owner of the property has quite broad authority to restrict a wide range of communication on that property. The only requirement is that the restriction be reasonable and viewpoint neutral, and these are generally requirements not hard to satisfy and would be satisfied in this case. Again there's a very big difference between them acting on its own property…versus on private property. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give one example, at UCLA Law School, we have provided free wireless to students, but we turn it off in classrooms because we're afraid students will get distracted by it. Likewise, it seems to me that BART can say we're all about providing convenience and reliability to our riders, we've added the telephone network for the sake of more convenience for riders, now it looks like this network will be a source of inconvenience, not just because there will be a political protest but as I understand it, the expected protest would have involved illegal blocking of trains and disruption of service. So in order to continue providing maximum convenience and reliability, we're going to temporarily shut down the cell phone hardware that we had no obligation to provide in the first place. As for the California constitutional rule, that's more unsettled, though I suspect California courts would reach a similar result. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michael T.
