Fireworks displays in three cities have been cancelled, although other festivities are still set to take place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The explosion occurred near County Road 23 and County Road 86A in Esparto on Tuesday evening. It resulted in several small fires after debris and sparks from the blast landed in nearby vegetation. The fires have since been contained, and teams are working to clear the area and to locate survivors, according to Lt.

Instead, the city will have its first-ever drone show in addition to food trucks, live performances and other activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tragedy in Yolo County has affected multiple fireworks displays across the state,” San José Councilmember Domingo Candelas said in a statement. “While we have to cancel the fireworks, the celebration is still on. … Our hope is to still unite our community in celebration but also deter the use of illegal fireworks in our neighborhood.”[aside postID=news_12046961 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/MadreFire1.jpg']A fireworks display in Sonoma County, arranged by the Cloverdale Lion Club, was also cancelled as a result of the warehouse explosion. St. Helena in Napa County also announced that it would not be moving forward with its show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This incident goes well beyond any product or any show, as we know there are still individuals that are unaccounted for,” said Dave Jahns, director of community services in St. Helena. The city’s fireworks display was cancelled after the explosion destroyed its reserve of fireworks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people may be disappointed that we’re not able to move forward with fireworks,” he continued. “We just want everyone to understand that due to the circumstances and due to the tragedy at hand … we really think this is the right decision to move forward with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other festivities, such as a bicycle parade and a festival with live music and food vendors, are continuing as planned, Jahns said, adding that he hopes families will come and celebrate despite the change in plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First responders from the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office and Cal Fire, as well as federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, are looking into what may have caused the incident. Officials with the Sheriff’s Office are calling it an active crime scene investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An evacuation order was issued for the area around the warehouse, and officers are urging residents to avoid the site until investigators determine that the area is secure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will try to release information as it becomes available,” Harmon said. “Our priority is to make it safe and to recover any victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Alwin Smith was 30 years old when he received his third strike and a sentence to die in state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years of struggling with drug addiction caught up with him in 2000, when he was arrested in Riverside County for robbery and possession of drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first got sentenced, I was sentenced to 25 years to life for each one of those. And they gave me 15 more years — five years for each prior offense,” he said. “So I ended up with 65 years to life. … That’s a sentence that, can’t nobody do it. I mean, you ain’t gonna never complete the sentence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith would spend the next two decades in three different state prisons. For the first six years, at Corcoran State Prison, he said he had very little access to drug treatment or other rehabilitation services. But in 2007, he was sent to California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo, where he started going to church and soon began attending classes and programs the church offered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I’m starting to understand some things about my behavior. You know, the one thing, the one factor in my life, is alcohol and drug abuse — that’s the thing that continuously had guided my steps,” Smith said. “It was the driving force behind my actions and decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith wasn’t just helping himself — over the coming years, he would become a leader, helping other men embrace faith and sobriety at both the Men’s Colony and Soledad State Prison, where he was transferred in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But still, his 65-year-to-life sentence remained — until an unlikely coalition, including Riverside County’s Republican district attorney, joined forces to secure his release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hillary Blout helped create the system that made Smith’s release possible. A former San Francisco prosecutor, Blout now heads \u003ca href=\"https://www.fortheppl.org/\">For the People\u003c/a>, an Oakland-based criminal justice reform nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just believed that there was a way that we could get prosecutors to be part of the solution,” Blout said. “I knew that prosecutors believe that there were people in prison that didn’t need to be there, I knew that they agreed that people can change, and that there were people that were serving sentences not based on current-day practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blout helped write \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2942\">a 2018 California law\u003c/a> that enabled district attorneys to bring certain exemplary people in prison back to court and request they be resentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It started with a couple of conversations with some elected prosecutors in California. They agreed: Yeah, if we had a law like this, we’d use it. We’d use it in a safe way,” Blout said. “We would be methodical about it. But yeah, we absolutely would get people out of prison if you showed they didn’t need to be there anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the People works with prosecutors, public defenders and other groups to find the right cases; so far more than 100 people in California prisons have been released through the program since the legislation went into effect in 2019, and Blout estimates another 26,000 could safely reenter society.[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"criminal-justice-reform\"]Last year, Blout’s group\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11882320/new-state-funding-boosts-prosecutor-led-resentencing-efforts-in-california\"> helped secure $18 million in state funding\u003c/a> for DAs in \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d44c4376e48120001a8b1d3/t/60f20eb61147e5557d91ae9a/1626476214277/Latest+-+Fact+Sheet++California+County+Resentencing+Pilot+Program+%281%29.pdf\">nine counties, including San Francisco, Santa Clara and Contra Costa\u003c/a>, to help pay for the work of identifying and seeking the release of more eligible people in prison. She says the state could eventually save hundreds of millions of dollars through safe resentencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the People also has successfully pushed to pass similar laws in \u003ca href=\"https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?Year=2019&BillNumber=6164\">Washington\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2021/06/bill-allowing-das-and-prisoners-to-ask-court-to-review-sentence-conviction-heads-to-governors-desk.html\">Oregon\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Illinois-passes-new-law-prohibiting-police-from-16317669.php'\">Illinois\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a rare good-news, bipartisan story in a policy area that’s historically been marked by bitter disagreement. Democratic state leaders have been pushing criminal justice reform in California in earnest for about a decade, following a lawsuit over state prison crowding that eventually led the U.S. Supreme Court to order the state to reduce the number of people locked up. But most of those reforms remain unpopular among law enforcement officials and Republican leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this program sounds like a natural fit for progressive prosecutors already committed to reform, it’s notable that it’s also being embraced by some more traditionally law-and-order DA’s offices — like the one in Yolo County, just west of Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Raven, the county’s chief deputy district attorney, has worked in law enforcement for 25 years. A decade ago, when Raven started working in this office, “we viewed every case as a nail,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And if you have a nail with the tool, you’re going to use a hammer. And we realize now that they’re all there, all sorts of other tools in the box that we can use to achieve justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law, Raven said, allows his office both to reconsider sentences that may have been too long from the start and to revisit cases in which people have demonstrated they’ve had a true personal transformation in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raven said his office always works with an eye to public safety and ensuring victims’ voices are part of the resentencing conversation. His office has so far resentenced nine people through the program, most of whom were immediately released, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s real stories and real people and real lives. And the thing about sentencing someone to prison — it’s a lot of power that we have, and there’s such an effect on so many people,” he said. “So it’s extremely satisfying to see someone who has earned an early release, you know, get out early.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alwin Smith’s case, he walked free in July. He’s now back in Riverside County, working at a Costco and interning at a church, where he helps provide meals and showers to the homeless, and speaks to middle school students about his story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the long term, Smith said, he just wants to continue to help others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m working a great job at a great company and I’m giving back. But I want more of the giving back … and to continue to grow and learn,” he said. “So I’m seeing where the Lord is going to lead me and take me in that process.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

A former San Francisco prosecutor, Blout now heads \u003ca href=\"https://www.fortheppl.org/\">For the People\u003c/a>, an Oakland-based criminal justice reform nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just believed that there was a way that we could get prosecutors to be part of the solution,” Blout said. “I knew that prosecutors believe that there were people in prison that didn’t need to be there, I knew that they agreed that people can change, and that there were people that were serving sentences not based on current-day practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blout helped write \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2942\">a 2018 California law\u003c/a> that enabled district attorneys to bring certain exemplary people in prison back to court and request they be resentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It started with a couple of conversations with some elected prosecutors in California. They agreed: Yeah, if we had a law like this, we’d use it. We’d use it in a safe way,” Blout said. “We would be methodical about it. But yeah, we absolutely would get people out of prison if you showed they didn’t need to be there anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the People works with prosecutors, public defenders and other groups to find the right cases; so far more than 100 people in California prisons have been released through the program since the legislation went into effect in 2019, and Blout estimates another 26,000 could safely reenter society.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She says the state could eventually save hundreds of millions of dollars through safe resentencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the People also has successfully pushed to pass similar laws in \u003ca href=\"https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?Year=2019&BillNumber=6164\">Washington\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2021/06/bill-allowing-das-and-prisoners-to-ask-court-to-review-sentence-conviction-heads-to-governors-desk.html\">Oregon\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Illinois-passes-new-law-prohibiting-police-from-16317669.php'\">Illinois\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a rare good-news, bipartisan story in a policy area that’s historically been marked by bitter disagreement. Democratic state leaders have been pushing criminal justice reform in California in earnest for about a decade, following a lawsuit over state prison crowding that eventually led the U.S. Supreme Court to order the state to reduce the number of people locked up. But most of those reforms remain unpopular among law enforcement officials and Republican leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this program sounds like a natural fit for progressive prosecutors already committed to reform, it’s notable that it’s also being embraced by some more traditionally law-and-order DA’s offices — like the one in Yolo County, just west of Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Raven, the county’s chief deputy district attorney, has worked in law enforcement for 25 years. A decade ago, when Raven started working in this office, “we viewed every case as a nail,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And if you have a nail with the tool, you’re going to use a hammer. And we realize now that they’re all there, all sorts of other tools in the box that we can use to achieve justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law, Raven said, allows his office both to reconsider sentences that may have been too long from the start and to revisit cases in which people have demonstrated they’ve had a true personal transformation in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raven said his office always works with an eye to public safety and ensuring victims’ voices are part of the resentencing conversation. His office has so far resentenced nine people through the program, most of whom were immediately released, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s real stories and real people and real lives. And the thing about sentencing someone to prison — it’s a lot of power that we have, and there’s such an effect on so many people,” he said. “So it’s extremely satisfying to see someone who has earned an early release, you know, get out early.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alwin Smith’s case, he walked free in July. He’s now back in Riverside County, working at a Costco and interning at a church, where he helps provide meals and showers to the homeless, and speaks to middle school students about his story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the long term, Smith said, he just wants to continue to help others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
