Two thousand one school time can always bring about some mixed emotions. Then you add cove in one thousand nine hundred anxiety the to the mix. It can be a lot of profit. We've got a local breaking news alert for parents students and teachers in ware county. All public schools will now be closed for two weeks because of a rise gerona virus cases. This all started with the school board in williamson. County passing a mask mandate that went into effect today. Hundreds of parents who could not fit inside the auditorium stayed outside shouting no more masks during a protest. The president saying today this is about safety not about politics. Very term itself critical race theory has become a political flashpoint across the country. Especially when it comes to how to teach young people about justice and equity in america. Hi my name is sherry. Beth rosenberg. I believe that we have to educate in order to have a democracy. Sorry not sorry sorry you are going back to school and the delta variant is raging across the country. Tell me how that feels. It feels scary. I will say that my first emotion about back to school is. I am excited. I was teaching remotely all last year while since march twenty twenty and when i finished up the school year online i talk to all my students from this year. Saying we go back. This was when it was announced in new york city that we didn't even the masks anymore and all my students we're getting vaccinated so we left the end of the school year on such a good note that we're gonna have a pizza party when we get back and meet each other in real life and they're going to help me decorate my classroom. Something i loved doing. And all that came crashing down mid july and suddenly my emotions around returning to splurge back to how. I was honestly feeling your ago and i hate to say that out loud because i had such different expectations of how i was going to feel this summer. Is it anxiety. Can you pinpoint what you're feeling anxieties. The word for it. It's anxiety for my students because first of all. I know that they're returning with heightening anxiety. After a year being essentially shot in not socializing the way they're used to and they already felt anxiety and now. I know for sure that everyone's going to be extra anxious about safety about just the fact that even when you're vaccinated this virus can spread and so i wanted to put all my social emotional support into helping them. Acclimate back to in person. Learning and what that means and my goal is to add a lot of socializing back into our activities because they haven't been able to socialize with each other in that way and now. I'm anxious about even doing that. Because god forbid. I do activity where people are a little too close and someone gets sick in my classroom. It's so unfair. I mostly just feel angry for our young people. Because they're getting short changed a second year. I know as. I dropped my kids off to school this morning. For their first day. Bellas in first grade and milos in fourth grade. And they're too young to get the vaccination so also dealing with that terror of of course they're going to get sick because kids get sick and school and being someone who's anxious anyway once that happens. Let's say it starts with both. My kids usually get super poopie when they get sick. Guess sign that. They're seconds so. I was trying to work through in my head that first time during the school year when they get sick and my own hysteria of is this just strap as it something that we can treat with antibiotics or is it cova. And that's just because i think they're still so unknown about how children get this and how they get sick and what parts of there being are impacted. I'm just terrified. i'm so sorry it's just. It's not my fault but as a woman. I always apollo i apologize on behalf of the delta variant right. He's apologized i'm not yes. Sorry not sorry. What cova protections is your school requiring for you and for the students. I believe that we have those pepe filters in every classroom. Not every classroom. That exist in. My school building has windows so i'm hoping that like last year we don't use those windowless buildings but that has to do with capacity. How are teachers responding to this. Debate over mass mandates so by and large teachers want the mass mandates across the country. It's not that teachers like mass. It's really uncomfortable to teach in a mask is uncomfortable to be in a mask. As part of the reason why ventilation systems really have to be better. But we've just been thrown a curve ball with the delta variant and we want more important than anything else. Schools need to be open full on four kids for a safe and welcoming and joyful school year. And we need to keep them open. And that's what the mass mandate will help do as of now what's going on in new york city. At least i can sort speak for other places by in new york city. The last shock beat article. I read that covers. Education is that administrators are in conversation with the department of education asking them from work guidance. About what social. Distancing is supposed to look like the other issue that i saw it. There's a group called teens take charge. And they're a young activist group in new york city. They fought for school integration and they just sent a petition out asking for a remote school option. So that's something else. That's kind of looming in the background. That what about the kids under twelve. What happens if they're immune compromise or family members are and so we're not going to give them the option to learn remotely until they can be vaccinated but also the breakthrough cases. Which aren't that many. But when you think about trying to get our lives back to normal going to do those things that we want to do like my brother fully vaccinated went into a german and worked out as lots of people have done and he got the delta varian and so then he was terrified of bringing it home to luke and to charlotte has wife. They were knock on wood. Fine milo and bella gets sick they bring it home. There's possibility for breakthrough cases. And then you look at my parents who are in their mid seventies and part of me feels like we message this all wrong from the beginning i feel like we message dead on a nat. Well obviously it..

"Homes and lives. 1994 residents in extreme Northern California are leaving their homes because of a quickly growing wildfire. Abdi's Alex Stone reports. The lava fire has been burning since last week in far northern California, near the Oregon border. Now, amid a red flag, warning for strong, gusty winds and low humidity, the fire is exploding. New evacuation orders were in place in a pretty remote area of Siskiyou County. A large, eerie plume of smoke hangs over the area. The nearly 1500 acre fire is burning near the western flank of Mount Chast, er, near the small town of weed. The fire tripled in size overnight and containment dropped currently sitting at 20% contained and that fire is under investigation. We're also getting word now that fire crews have contained a flower that started on highway 20 in Nevada County. State senator is calling for a joint oversight hearing on California's wildfire prevention efforts. KFBK is Jodi Guerrero has more. Senator Jim Nielsen's request comes after a recent news media investigation found that Governor Newsome overstated the number of acres treated by fuel reduction work in the most vulnerable and wildfire prone communities. The money was not being spent by the executive branch of government, the administration in doing what was funded to do, Nielsen says an oversight hearing is necessary to get out. Accurate and updated information on wildfire resiliency spending. We're going to have to take a look at this and see what's going on within the executive branch of government, and that does not just include by the way Cal fire and make them accountable. The governor's office responding that these fuel break projects have had a positive impact on Nielsen's district, noting they stopped part of last year's August and North complex fires.

They'll share about 6.5 billion of that, based on the number of passenger boardings, plus another 800 million for rent relief to companies that run airport concessions like food and retail businesses and terminals. In order to get the grants, airports have to keep at least 90% of the workers they had before the pandemic.

Us Geological Survey stood up and said you can't do anything to that. Damn until you look at the material behind it is holding back a whole bunch of mercury and that was the very first time I had ever heard anything about mercury and the state of California and its role in the goal rush. Or how long have you lived in this part of the world? My family came to California as part of the Gold Rush. We were quakers. Escaping the east coast. Ten violent religious oppression moved out to become farmers I was raised in Concord California on that form and in one thousand nine hundred five. I married a farmer and we moved to Nevada county beautiful organic farm in a place called Penn Valley. Tell us about this county and just its history and the gold rush because it is a lot of history here. Nevada county was ground zero of the California Gold Rush. Far More gold was taken out of this county and specifically this river that we're standing above than any other place in the state of California. It's where the very destructive technique called hydraulic mining which is using power water monitors to to scrub mountainside. Looking for gold is where that was invented. They started to dam the rivers and convey that water over to these huge hydraulic mining activities. Which were recovering thousands of of gold but millions of tons of sediment not material here from Nevada county rolled down the river and kept flooding the Sacramento Valley and eventually the farmers downstream who are really tired of having their houses filled with all this debris sued and stopped the activity known as hydraulic mining. Was the connection between Mercury and gold. Tell us how that process works. Everybody came to understand that the very dramatic impact of hydraulic mining because it was blowing these huge amounts of sediment down the river. But people didn't understand. Was that before they use. Those hydraulic monitors. They would treat the cliffs with Mercury Mercury on the cliff. Pound the cliffs with water the water to wash down into sluices and in those sluice boxes were also filled with mercury. Why did they use mercury keep? Mercury helped enhance called processing. It has a unique ability to amalgamate or hold the gold. So little tiny flecks of gold. That might be smaller than an eyelash would fall into the pan. But they're just wash out unless they were captured by mercury. Mercury would grab the gold. Make it heavy fall to the bottom of the sluice. When they turn the water off. Miners would come through and suck that mercury out of the bottom of the sluice they would take the mercury put it in a hot place they would call retort it like think of a hot iron frying pan and the mercury sort of melting off the top or or training into gas off the top and at the bottom of your pan. You'd have sparkling gold. The problem is curious. Mercury is a very dangerous neuro toxin. And it's dangerous in a variety of ways so badly that the United Nations World Health Organization Amnesty of California have both named it. The top bioaccumulative toxic material of concern. Mercury is a neuro toxin. It affects the developmental human being so our ability to deform our nerves are heart or lungs. Our brains it creates Serious birth defects and people have focused on that for many many years but as research has been done we learn that it continues to damage us as adults. It seems to be causing problems with our hearts with our lungs and with our various different organs which accumulate mercury. So it's a known neuro toxin and that's strike one against it strike to is it bioaccumulates in our body. It doesn't really easily leave our bodies many of the things we take in. Let's take alcohol. You drink it and two days later. It's all out of your body not so with Mercury it stores itself in your body and builds up over time strike. Three is that this material does. What's called bio magnifies in the environment? So the most dangerous place for a piece of mercury to be is in water particularly in warm water. Mercury is taken up by the little bugs at the bottom of the food chain. They eat a little bit of it. It transfers up to the bigger bugs and then the bigger bugs and then the fish and then the humans or as we watch here today. The waterbirds that are flying around might pick up. Officiant eat it. They are eating a highly toxic potent load of mercury so much so that the lake. We're looking here like Anglo. Bright has fish advisories on it that advice that a woman of childbearing age eat not a single bass out of this lake fish mornings. I run along this Anchorman River. There will along the Sacramento. And then you go down to San Francisco Bay. The same warnings that so it's in fact the entire ecosystem. The mercury that is in the Delta is entirely from these legacy minds in the areas. We are the gold mines and sadly for California. We had a unique geology which led us have mercury in our state as well. The coastal range has the mercury minds. Whether it's the ones down in San Jose or the ones Tamales Bay or up over on the clear lake there are serious old legacy mercury minds which are contaminating the coastal range and the tributaries that drain from there into the bay or into the ocean where we are everywhere. There was gold mining. They use this mercury not only for the the hydraulic mining but also for the hard rock mines which dominated the landscapes for one hundred years and all of those continue to leak mercury into the state of California water bodies every time it rains

"Since one thousand nine hundred sixty. California has officially been known as the Golden State. And that's because as the plaque reads California's development and remarkable prosperity began with the discovery of gold humanities. Love of gold is fairly bizarre of all the hundred and eighteen elements in the periodic table. Gold is the only one which we humans have always gravitated towards gold was used earliest currencies. Gold joined us in marriage and was used to produce most precious artifacts. Maybe the secret to our love of gold is simply that it's beautiful and never tarnishes in eighteen. Fifty-three my father's great grandfather Henry. Cohn traveled from a tiny stelle. In what is now Poland to Hamburg where he boarded a boat and six months later. After walking across the isthmus of Panama Henry ended up in San Francisco. Henry Cohn was part of the Goldrush the largest mass migration in American history bringing about three hundred thousand people to California. It all started in eighteen. Forty eight when James Marshall found gold in his piece of land at Sada's mill in Coloma. The News of gold quickly spread around the world. At first the gold could be picked up from the ground but later on it was recovered from the streams and rivers with the use of panned. The gold rush peaked in eighteen fifty. Two and after that the Gold Rassoul getting thinner and harder to reach soon largescale and more environmentally damaging methods of traction cold hydraulic mining were employed. One hundred and seventy years later on the environmental legacy of the gold rush a significant and yet acknowledged as we'll discover in today's episode mercury which is a deadly neurotoxin was elemental to the process of gold-mining today large quantities of mercury from the gold.
