Though his actions on several locations where he removed trees caused community uproar, officials fined Hobbs $100,000 and allowed him to carry on with his business. Paul Hobbs Winery is listed by the Sonoma County Winegrowers website as certified sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another case, multiple agencies \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/press_room/press_releases/2019/pr08022019_rhys_vineyard_enforcement.pdf\">issued a $3.7 million fine\u003c/a> against Silicon Valley entrepreneur and vintner Kevin Harvey after those agencies concluded that he illegally destroyed a Mendocino County wetland and buried a small creek with excavated dirt as he made way for a new grid of grapevines. The wealthy venture capitalist paid the penalty and was allowed to keep the vineyard, which, \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/board_decisions/adopted_orders/orders/2019/wro_2019-0053_with_set_n_atts.pdf\">according\u003c/a> to state authorities, Harvey \"insisted on retaining.\" This concluded the investigation — as officials determined that the destruction Harvey caused was so thorough and complete that asking him to restore the land to its natural state was futile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Keller, with the group \u003ca href=\"https://eelriver.org/\">Friends of the Eel River\u003c/a> — representing a Northern California watershed that has been impacted by logging and land development — says this type of behavior, combined with agency leniency, renders laws meant to protect forests and watersheds meaningless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As long as there is no jail time, these vineyardists are happy to go ahead and do whatever they want, and the fines are just a write-off — they're a part of doing business for these people,\" Keller says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, adjacent to Sonoma and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the source of perhaps the most expensive cabernet sauvignon outside of Bordeaux, activists are pushing back against a steady conversion of woodland into new vineyards. Kellie Anderson, an independent watchdog who has harried local officials for years to step up enforcement of environmental laws, says the county's planning department has ignored numerous violations by grape growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson says she has watched wealthy winemakers near her home break land preservation agreements, denude streams through illegal tree cutting, cause mudslides after failing to protect cleared slopes against erosion, illegally install deer fencing, which makes habitat inaccessible to animals, and commit other violations of environmental laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are now so many violators in these hills that the county is unable to enforce the rules,\" Anderson says. \"Whether it's lack of will or wherewithal, they aren't doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But David Morrison, director of Napa County's Planning, Building, and Environmental Services Department, says county officials often enforce laws and penalize violators, in part by issuing fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've probably collected about a million dollars in fines in the past five years,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison notes that the legal landscape of Napa County, especially as it pertains to wine production, is very complex, and he says it's easy for rules to be broken without immediate resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more rules you have, the easier it is to violate them,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But activists insist that Napa County is too charitable to an industry they think is harming the environment. In fact, as a gesture of diplomacy, Napa County recently invited winery and vineyard owners who have violated their operating permits, often by exceeding wine production, customer visitation or employee limits, to submit requests for upgraded permits – part of the county's \u003ca href=\"https://www.countyofnapa.org/2496/Napa-County-Code-Compliance-Program\">Code Compliance Program\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They break the law, and instead of the laws being enforced, they're retroactively approving these projects,\" says Geoff Ellsworth, the mayor of the small wine country town of St. Helena, in Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellsworth says many of the violations being considered through the Code Compliance Program can directly cause aggravated traffic and air pollution, and that excessive wine production places demands on growers for more grapes. Ultimately, he says, the county's stance on winery violations could lead to more deforestation and water use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison says the Code Compliance Program is intended to smooth out violations in a diplomatic way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The county wants to encourage compliance, not be punitive,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for general objections against the wine industry's encroachment into woodlands, Morrison says that even though Napa County's vineyard acreage is growing, their collective footprint on the landscape still remains well within limits set years ago by county planners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ongoing Reimers case, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board issued Reimers, the manager of Krasilsa Pacific Farms, a \"cleanup and abatement\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/northcoast/board_decisions/adopted_orders/pdf/2019/19_0045_Hugh%20Reimers%20Krasilsa%20Pacific%20Farms%20LLC_CAO.pdf\">order\u003c/a> requiring that he attempt to minimize erosion of sediment that could bury the gravel beds used by spawning salmon and steelhead trout in the Russian River watershed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Curtis, assistant executive officer with the water board, says an experienced vineyard manager should know about the various permits required for the type of work Reimers conducted. He also says that, had Reimers applied for permits, his agency is unlikely to have approved some of the destructive land alterations that Reimers made, which have already caused heavy erosion into creeks feeding the Russian River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/northcoast/board_decisions/adopted_orders/pdf/2019/190606_BF_er_Krasilsa_NOV.pdf\">notice of violation\u003c/a> that the water board issued to Reimers in June, the wine baron, who has served as president of both Jackson Family Wines and Foley Family Wines, violated section 1311 of the federal Clean Water Act. Knowingly doing so is punishable, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/33/1319\">clause within that law\u003c/a>, \"by a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $50,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 3 years, or by both.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/documents/2019/november/reimers-recommended-fine.pdf\">March 21 report,\u003c/a> the Sonoma County Department of Agriculture's investigators wrote that Reimers \"is well aware of the permit requirements for vineyard development in Sonoma County.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fine they recommended for Reimers — $131,060 — doesn't match the crime, says Ross Middlemiss, a staff attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity. He says the fine is \"a drop in the bucket\" compared to the value of the property, which is 2,278 acres and worth many millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center for Biological Diversity sent a letter early this month encouraging the Sonoma\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>district attorney to pursue the most aggressive punitive action possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If civil penalties and fines aren't enough to deter these bad actors, something more severe needs to be put upon these people who knowingly violate the law,\" Middlemiss says. \"We're hoping to avert another example of a winemaker who bulldozes first, then asks for forgiveness, and gets their permit after the fact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alastair Bland is a freelance writer based in Sebastopol, Calif., who covers food, agriculture and the environment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The wealthy venture capitalist paid the penalty and was allowed to keep the vineyard, which, \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/board_decisions/adopted_orders/orders/2019/wro_2019-0053_with_set_n_atts.pdf\">according\u003c/a> to state authorities, Harvey \"insisted on retaining.\" This concluded the investigation — as officials determined that the destruction Harvey caused was so thorough and complete that asking him to restore the land to its natural state was futile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Keller, with the group \u003ca href=\"https://eelriver.org/\">Friends of the Eel River\u003c/a> — representing a Northern California watershed that has been impacted by logging and land development — says this type of behavior, combined with agency leniency, renders laws meant to protect forests and watersheds meaningless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As long as there is no jail time, these vineyardists are happy to go ahead and do whatever they want, and the fines are just a write-off — they're a part of doing business for these people,\" Keller says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, adjacent to Sonoma and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the source of perhaps the most expensive cabernet sauvignon outside of Bordeaux, activists are pushing back against a steady conversion of woodland into new vineyards. Kellie Anderson, an independent watchdog who has harried local officials for years to step up enforcement of environmental laws, says the county's planning department has ignored numerous violations by grape growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson says she has watched wealthy winemakers near her home break land preservation agreements, denude streams through illegal tree cutting, cause mudslides after failing to protect cleared slopes against erosion, illegally install deer fencing, which makes habitat inaccessible to animals, and commit other violations of environmental laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are now so many violators in these hills that the county is unable to enforce the rules,\" Anderson says. \"Whether it's lack of will or wherewithal, they aren't doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But David Morrison, director of Napa County's Planning, Building, and Environmental Services Department, says county officials often enforce laws and penalize violators, in part by issuing fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've probably collected about a million dollars in fines in the past five years,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison notes that the legal landscape of Napa County, especially as it pertains to wine production, is very complex, and he says it's easy for rules to be broken without immediate resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more rules you have, the easier it is to violate them,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But activists insist that Napa County is too charitable to an industry they think is harming the environment. In fact, as a gesture of diplomacy, Napa County recently invited winery and vineyard owners who have violated their operating permits, often by exceeding wine production, customer visitation or employee limits, to submit requests for upgraded permits – part of the county's \u003ca href=\"https://www.countyofnapa.org/2496/Napa-County-Code-Compliance-Program\">Code Compliance Program\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They break the law, and instead of the laws being enforced, they're retroactively approving these projects,\" says Geoff Ellsworth, the mayor of the small wine country town of St. Helena, in Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellsworth says many of the violations being considered through the Code Compliance Program can directly cause aggravated traffic and air pollution, and that excessive wine production places demands on growers for more grapes. Ultimately, he says, the county's stance on winery violations could lead to more deforestation and water use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison says the Code Compliance Program is intended to smooth out violations in a diplomatic way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The county wants to encourage compliance, not be punitive,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for general objections against the wine industry's encroachment into woodlands, Morrison says that even though Napa County's vineyard acreage is growing, their collective footprint on the landscape still remains well within limits set years ago by county planners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ongoing Reimers case, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board issued Reimers, the manager of Krasilsa Pacific Farms, a \"cleanup and abatement\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/northcoast/board_decisions/adopted_orders/pdf/2019/19_0045_Hugh%20Reimers%20Krasilsa%20Pacific%20Farms%20LLC_CAO.pdf\">order\u003c/a> requiring that he attempt to minimize erosion of sediment that could bury the gravel beds used by spawning salmon and steelhead trout in the Russian River watershed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Curtis, assistant executive officer with the water board, says an experienced vineyard manager should know about the various permits required for the type of work Reimers conducted. He also says that, had Reimers applied for permits, his agency is unlikely to have approved some of the destructive land alterations that Reimers made, which have already caused heavy erosion into creeks feeding the Russian River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/northcoast/board_decisions/adopted_orders/pdf/2019/190606_BF_er_Krasilsa_NOV.pdf\">notice of violation\u003c/a> that the water board issued to Reimers in June, the wine baron, who has served as president of both Jackson Family Wines and Foley Family Wines, violated section 1311 of the federal Clean Water Act. Knowingly doing so is punishable, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/33/1319\">clause within that law\u003c/a>, \"by a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $50,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 3 years, or by both.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/documents/2019/november/reimers-recommended-fine.pdf\">March 21 report,\u003c/a> the Sonoma County Department of Agriculture's investigators wrote that Reimers \"is well aware of the permit requirements for vineyard development in Sonoma County.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fine they recommended for Reimers — $131,060 — doesn't match the crime, says Ross Middlemiss, a staff attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity. He says the fine is \"a drop in the bucket\" compared to the value of the property, which is 2,278 acres and worth many millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center for Biological Diversity sent a letter early this month encouraging the Sonoma\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>district attorney to pursue the most aggressive punitive action possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If civil penalties and fines aren't enough to deter these bad actors, something more severe needs to be put upon these people who knowingly violate the law,\" Middlemiss says. \"We're hoping to avert another example of a winemaker who bulldozes first, then asks for forgiveness, and gets their permit after the fact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alastair Bland is a freelance writer based in Sebastopol, Calif., who covers food, agriculture and the environment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Copyright 2019 NPR.

It’s a description that renders “Indian food” ineffective in its lack of specificity. For Diwali specifically, Mody remembers eating foods that were considered to bring good fortune. “We had mung beans and they're considered very lucky. You put dried ones in your suitcase. You eat them during celebrations.” she reminisces. “We would have things like puris, small fried flatbreads and we'd have that with mango rus which is this, like, mango milk you eat as a dessert.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sugar might in fact be the unifier across Diwali celebrations. “Celebrating with dessert is probably a thread that ties everything together,” Ghosh says, “If your neighbor was sending you something, it’d be something savory and fried, and sweets.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the diaspora, the tensions borne in homelands can be dulled and imbued with the influence of the politics of their new environments.

It is part of our culture,” she tells me. “It wouldn’t be Kali Puja without goat meat.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for Mody, she describes the food her family cooked at home as “Gujrati food done Rajisthani style”. It’s a description that renders “Indian food” ineffective in its lack of specificity. For Diwali specifically, Mody remembers eating foods that were considered to bring good fortune. “We had mung beans and they're considered very lucky. You put dried ones in your suitcase. You eat them during celebrations.” she reminisces. “We would have things like puris, small fried flatbreads and we'd have that with mango rus which is this, like, mango milk you eat as a dessert.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sugar might in fact be the unifier across Diwali celebrations. “Celebrating with dessert is probably a thread that ties everything together,” Ghosh says, “If your neighbor was sending you something, it’d be something savory and fried, and sweets.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the diaspora, the tensions borne in homelands can be dulled and imbued with the influence of the politics of their new environments. As Diwali gains popularity as a holiday outside of India, Ghosh and Mody are invested in both examining the holiday’s complexities and keeping the abounding traditions that can get flattened through its mainstreaming.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For her upcoming Diwali feast, Mody is hoping for the right mix of education and celebration through a considered feast: “In the most obvious way, in a way that feels true to all cultures and communities, food is central to how we come together.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/135190/how-the-bay-areas-south-asian-diaspora-explores-diwalis-multiplicity","authors":["11625"],"categories":["bayareabites_2998","bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_1763","bayareabites_2035"],"tags":["bayareabites_16484","bayareabites_9710","bayareabites_14775","bayareabites_2243"],"featImg":"bayareabites_135193","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_134832":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_134832","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"134832","score":null,"sort":[1569863996000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"andrew-zimmern-tanya-holland-and-more-gather-to-discuss-change-in-the-culinary-industry","title":"Andrew Zimmern, Tanya Holland and More Gather to Discuss Change in the Culinary Industry","publishDate":1569863996,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>[aside postID='bayareabites_132814,bayareabites_125020' target=_blank label='More on Brown Sugar Kitchen']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Food is power.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was how Maryam Ahmed, the Culinary Institute of America’s Director of Public Programs, opened “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ciaatcopia.com/conversations-at-copia/\">Conversations at Copia\u003c/a>,” the live talk series hosted by James Beard Award winner \u003ca href=\"https://andrewzimmern.com/\">Andrew Zimmern\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Held at downtown Napa’s Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at Copia, September 7th’s discussion entitled “Culture & Cuisine” included panelists Rick Bayless of \u003ca href=\"https://www.rickbayless.com/restaurants/frontera-grill/\">Frontera Grill\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.brownsugarkitchen.com/\">Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/a>’s Tayna Holland, \u003ca href=\"https://lacocinasf.org/\">La Cocina\u003c/a>'s program manager Emiliana Puyana, and “The Cooking Gene” author \u003ca href=\"https://afroculinaria.com/\">Michael Twitty\u003c/a>.

He repeatedly witnessed a disheartening pattern: on the way to the interview, the refugees would chat with him personably. “But when prospective employers started asking them questions, they would get nervous,” explains Hewitt. “Their English would become even more ‘broken.’” They also might lose points for the way they answered typical American job interview questions, such as “Where do you see yourself in five years?” While this sounds like a simple query, an honest reply is not necessarily what the employer is looking for. Digital barriers add even more challenges today, as most applications must be completed online. When it asks for previous job experience, the location can only be selected from a list of the 50 states. There is no field to enter international job experience and without the conventional list of references, most prospective employers just don’t want to take the risk of hiring a refugee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hewitt would discuss these concerns with Taber, a co-worker at IRC, over a cup of coffee. Their shared love for the caffeinated beverage led to charts listing their ratings of nearby coffee spots and a jointly owned espresso machine for their office. “Okay, you can call it an obsession,” says Taber, smiling. They began to envision a place where refugees could be trained and supported while gaining the experience that could further their work lives. Hewitt, who had experience working as a coffee roaster, imagined many opportunities this field could offer refugees. They agreed that refugees + café seemed like a winning combination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115349\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000.jpg\" alt=\"The colorful stripes on the cafe's floor suggest the long journey to resettlement.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115349\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-1180x1574.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/5-lines-on-floor-2000-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The colorful stripes on the cafe's floor suggest the long journey to resettlement. \u003ccite>(Anna Mindess)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Taber, whose background is in fundraising, saw the Bay Area as the perfect place for this kind of social entrepreneurism, with its longtime support for immigrants and refugees coupled with an appreciation of high-end coffee culture.

That latter number was the case for 1951 Coffee’s senior barista, Meg, who is in a constant state of motion around the cafe, supporting other employees, checking the bathroom, making sure everything is running smoothly. When Meg was 2 years old, his family fled Bhutan and spent the next 20 years in a massive Nepali refugee camp with 1,400 other families. Life was hard: they were only allotted rice and a few vegetables and had to cover their flimsy huts with plastic to withstand the summer rains. In 2007, after a fire quickly spread through the thatched bamboo-covered huts in the camp, his family had to live in the jungle for two months. Meg went to school in the camp and became a teacher of English, math, and science. He probably never imagined that eventually, he would be teaching other refugees about coffee culture in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000.jpg\" alt=\"Senior barista Meg shares his experience by training new employees.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1448\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115356\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-160x116.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-768x556.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-1020x738.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-960x695.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-240x174.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-375x272.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-520x376.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senior barista Meg shares his experience by training new employees. \u003ccite>(Anna Mindess)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Long before the birth of the 1951 Coffee concept, when Doug Hewitt was just volunteering with IRC, he hired Meg to occasionally package the coffee he was roasting for his job at \u003ca href=\"https://bootcoffee.com/\">Boot Coffee Consulting\u003c/a> in Marin. He also saw how Meg tried to get steady work but was repeatedly turned down for his lack of skills. Finally, \u003ca href=\"http://careers-blog.chipotle.com/irc/\">Chipotle\u003c/a>, who had a relationship with IRC, decided to open several new restaurants, including one at 50 California in San Francisco. Since it was a new location they gave all their new hires, including Meg, a week of training. He became one of Chipotle’s best workers and was eventually offered a management position. Witnessing the way that training made all the difference, Hewitt asked Meg if he could recreate that experience for the refugees at IRC. Hewitt set up a volunteer “food service training” program at IRC, which only happened on intermittent Fridays. While he and other volunteers offered English classes, Meg handled the hands on training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Chipotle offered him a job as a manager, Meg had to turn it down because the long days required would not have allowed him to fulfill his other obligations, which included volunteering at IRC to help newly arrived refugees. He was also attending Laney College, taking classes in English, math and business, taking care of his parents and playing soccer. He recently married Indira, a woman he knew from the camp. But Indira lives in Vancouver, where she takes care of her parents, while Meg and his parents live here. The couple meets in Seattle when they can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meg’s goal is to open a restaurant or a non-profit that combines food service and refugees. In September 2016, he became an American citizen in an emotional ceremony with 1000 other new Americans at Oakland’s Paramount Theater. “It’s a blessing. I am so proud.” His message to other refugees is: “You have to believe in yourself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some groups try to raise money for refugees by only highlighting their vulnerabilities,” says Hewitt. “We were inspired by these amazing people, their resilience and determination to work through challenges together as a team.” He and Taber hope this model can be replicated across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Listen to two stories on the California Report about 1951 Coffee Company:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201702031630/a\">An overview of 1951 Coffee Company\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201702031630/b\">Interviews with Batool and her family\u003c/a>, Syrian refugees, who have been here 2 years\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://1951coffee.com\">\u003cstrong>1951 Coffee Company\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2410 Channing Way [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/vPYTRr\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 280-6171\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 7am-7pm, Sat-Sun 8am-7pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/1951coffee/\">1951 Coffee Company\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/1951Coffee\">@1951coffee\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/1951coffee/\">1951coffee\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The stories of the refugee baristas' journeys to work at 1951 Coffee Company can enrich your cup of java.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1546991348,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":19,"wordCount":1971},"headData":{"title":"Refugees’ Life Stories Deepen the Brew at 1951 Coffee Company | KQED","description":"The stories of the refugee baristas' journeys to work at 1951 Coffee Company can enrich your cup of java.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Refugees’ Life Stories Deepen the Brew at 1951 Coffee Company","datePublished":"2017-02-14T23:03:15.000Z","dateModified":"2019-01-08T23:49:08.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"115265 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=115265","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/02/14/refugees-life-stories-deepen-the-brew-at-1951-coffee-company/","disqusTitle":"Refugees’ Life Stories Deepen the Brew at 1951 Coffee Company","source":"Politics, Activism, Food Safety","sourceUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/category/politics-activism-food-safety/","path":"/bayareabites/115265/refugees-life-stories-deepen-the-brew-at-1951-coffee-company","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>When baristas hand over your low-fat latte, you probably don’t consider the paths that brought them to stand across the counter from you.

He had already used up some of his limited funds to pay for clothes and transportation to 16 entry-level job interviews at hotels, nursing homes, and businesses. All turned him down, which left him deeply discouraged. He assumed that the combination of his skin color and accent led him to be judged and feared rather than given a chance. He now works at the café five days a week and is actively looking for a second job for the night shift to make ends meet. “As a refugee and a person of color in the Bay Area,” David adds, “I tremble all the time, worrying about my safety everyday. “But,” he adds, “I love this country and look forward to serving it in some way to thank you for giving me this opportunity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115352\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000.jpg\" alt=\"Rachel Taber and Doug Hewitt, co-founders of 1951 Coffee Company.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1594\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115352\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-160x128.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-800x638.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-768x612.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-1020x813.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-1180x940.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-960x765.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-240x191.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-375x299.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/4-Doug-and-Rachel-2000-520x414.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rachel Taber and Doug Hewitt, co-founders of 1951 Coffee Company. \u003ccite>(Anna Mindess)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before founding 1951 Coffee Company with Rachel Taber, Doug Hewitt’s job as an employment specialist at the International Rescue Committee (IRC), included preparing refugees for job interviews. He repeatedly witnessed a disheartening pattern: on the way to the interview, the refugees would chat with him personably. “But when prospective employers started asking them questions, they would get nervous,” explains Hewitt. “Their English would become even more ‘broken.’” They also might lose points for the way they answered typical American job interview questions, such as “Where do you see yourself in five years?” While this sounds like a simple query, an honest reply is not necessarily what the employer is looking for. Digital barriers add even more challenges today, as most applications must be completed online. When it asks for previous job experience, the location can only be selected from a list of the 50 states. There is no field to enter international job experience and without the conventional list of references, most prospective employers just don’t want to take the risk of hiring a refugee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hewitt would discuss these concerns with Taber, a co-worker at IRC, over a cup of coffee. Their shared love for the caffeinated beverage led to charts listing their ratings of nearby coffee spots and a jointly owned espresso machine for their office. “Okay, you can call it an obsession,” says Taber, smiling.

That latter number was the case for 1951 Coffee’s senior barista, Meg, who is in a constant state of motion around the cafe, supporting other employees, checking the bathroom, making sure everything is running smoothly. When Meg was 2 years old, his family fled Bhutan and spent the next 20 years in a massive Nepali refugee camp with 1,400 other families. Life was hard: they were only allotted rice and a few vegetables and had to cover their flimsy huts with plastic to withstand the summer rains. In 2007, after a fire quickly spread through the thatched bamboo-covered huts in the camp, his family had to live in the jungle for two months. Meg went to school in the camp and became a teacher of English, math, and science. He probably never imagined that eventually, he would be teaching other refugees about coffee culture in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000.jpg\" alt=\"Senior barista Meg shares his experience by training new employees.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1448\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115356\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-160x116.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-768x556.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-1020x738.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-960x695.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-240x174.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-375x272.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/9-Meg-2000-520x376.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senior barista Meg shares his experience by training new employees. \u003ccite>(Anna Mindess)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Long before the birth of the 1951 Coffee concept, when Doug Hewitt was just volunteering with IRC, he hired Meg to occasionally package the coffee he was roasting for his job at \u003ca href=\"https://bootcoffee.com/\">Boot Coffee Consulting\u003c/a> in Marin. He also saw how Meg tried to get steady work but was repeatedly turned down for his lack of skills. Finally, \u003ca href=\"http://careers-blog.chipotle.com/irc/\">Chipotle\u003c/a>, who had a relationship with IRC, decided to open several new restaurants, including one at 50 California in San Francisco. Since it was a new location they gave all their new hires, including Meg, a week of training. He became one of Chipotle’s best workers and was eventually offered a management position. Witnessing the way that training made all the difference, Hewitt asked Meg if he could recreate that experience for the refugees at IRC. Hewitt set up a volunteer “food service training” program at IRC, which only happened on intermittent Fridays. While he and other volunteers offered English classes, Meg handled the hands on training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Chipotle offered him a job as a manager, Meg had to turn it down because the long days required would not have allowed him to fulfill his other obligations, which included volunteering at IRC to help newly arrived refugees. He was also attending Laney College, taking classes in English, math and business, taking care of his parents and playing soccer. He recently married Indira, a woman he knew from the camp. But Indira lives in Vancouver, where she takes care of her parents, while Meg and his parents live here. The couple meets in Seattle when they can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meg’s goal is to open a restaurant or a non-profit that combines food service and refugees. In September 2016, he became an American citizen in an emotional ceremony with 1000 other new Americans at Oakland’s Paramount Theater. “It’s a blessing. I am so proud.” His message to other refugees is: “You have to believe in yourself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some groups try to raise money for refugees by only highlighting their vulnerabilities,” says Hewitt. “We were inspired by these amazing people, their resilience and determination to work through challenges together as a team.” He and Taber hope this model can be replicated across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Listen to two stories on the California Report about 1951 Coffee Company:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201702031630/a\">An overview of 1951 Coffee Company\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201702031630/b\">Interviews with Batool and her family\u003c/a>, Syrian refugees, who have been here 2 years\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://1951coffee.com\">\u003cstrong>1951 Coffee Company\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2410 Channing Way [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/vPYTRr\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 280-6171\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 7am-7pm, Sat-Sun 8am-7pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/1951coffee/\">1951 Coffee Company\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/1951Coffee\">@1951coffee\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/1951coffee/\">1951coffee\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/115265/refugees-life-stories-deepen-the-brew-at-1951-coffee-company","authors":["5283"],"categories":["bayareabites_109","bayareabites_264","bayareabites_13306","bayareabites_8770","bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1875","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_1248"],"tags":["bayareabites_14751","bayareabites_16270","bayareabites_16263","bayareabites_452","bayareabites_2243"],"featImg":"bayareabites_115350","label":"source_bayareabites_115265"},"bayareabites_57684":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_57684","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"57684","score":null,"sort":[1362271843000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"documentary-a-place-at-the-table-is-a-call-to-action-on-hunger","title":"Documentary 'A Place At The Table' Is A Call To Action On Hunger","publishDate":1362271843,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>Post by Allison Aubrey, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/03/01/172040074/documentary-a-place-at-the-table-is-a-call-to-action-on-hunger\">The Salt at NPR Food\u003c/a> (3/1/13)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57691\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/aplaceatthetable.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-57691\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/aplaceatthetable.jpg\" alt=\"The poster for the documentary A Place At The Table.\" width=\"300\" height=\"444\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The poster for the documentary \u003cem>A Place At The Table\u003c/em>.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One nation underfed.
