It is co-produced and co-hosted by Lee Romney and Jenny Johnson. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Marlene Baker’s untreated mental illness kept her on the streets, hustling to stay warm and stay fed. Local law enforcement would pick her up for minor offenses — drinking in public or hitchhiking — then book her into the overcrowded jail and release her right back to the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you and you do things,” Baker, now 58, said in a 2019 interview at her tiny studio apartment in the Siskiyou County town of Weed. “I didn’t trust my mind for a long time. Still, I’ll wake up sometimes in the middle of the night screaming, like, is there a ghost in here or something? And then I just take my medicine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stories of our colliding criminal justice and mental health systems play out across the country. That crisis is most visible, and most commonly reported, in urban areas. But Baker’s is a rural story, full of profound rural challenges. Siskiyou County, which abuts the Oregon border, spans 6,000 square miles and is home to just shy of 44,000 people. Community mental health resources are thin. Public transportation is almost nonexistent, housing is scarce and recruiting mental health clinicians nearly impossible. [aside tag=\"mental-health,criminal-justice\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marlene Baker was too ill to voluntarily seek help for her condition. If she committed a more serious crime, she could receive the mental health treatment she needed. That's because a felony charge would finally compel her to accept care provided through the criminal justice system. Recent data from Siskiyou County indicate the jail is often the landing place for people with serious mental illness: About half the inmates are \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20514156-jail_mentalhealth_jpsreport_02-03-2020#document/p8/a2022750\">prescribed psychiatric meds\u003c/a>, more than double the state median.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental illness plays a role in a high number of criminal cases here. What to do once those people enter the system, said Siskiyou County District Attorney Kirk Andrus, is a vexing question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You've got a community that wants to be protected,” he said. “But you also have a person who needs intervention and not necessarily the kind of intervention that we have to offer. It's a massive problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Baker’s case, though, despite those rural challenges — in some ways because of them — a number of key people took some risks and bent some rules to help her heal in the community, with her freedom intact. And her success is helping to bring about some bold changes in the way Siskiyou County confronts its mental health crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11865504\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11865504\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47876_MarleneWithElephant-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47876_MarleneWithElephant-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47876_MarleneWithElephant-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47876_MarleneWithElephant-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47876_MarleneWithElephant-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47876_MarleneWithElephant-qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marlene Baker, now 58, fills her small studio apartment with tapestries and artwork to make it homey. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘I grew up normal’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Baker is petite with a penchant for fashion and perfect dusky eye makeup. Her apartment, separated from Interstate 5 by a flimsy chain-link fence, can be loud. But Baker has spruced it up inside “to make it homey” with tapestries and artwork.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her journey began in a “you-blink-you-miss-it” Central Valley town where, Baker said, “I grew up normal. We had a nice house. We had money. I went to school, graduated.”\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had two kids, got divorced and headed to her parents’ vacation home in Mount Shasta, where she landed a job in the front office of a local eye doctor. Then: an accident. Baker stepped out of her car onto black ice, taking her “whole spine out from the neck down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Marlene Baker']'I’d get hysterical and not know what’s really going around and verbally say stuff that didn’t make sense'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiple surgeries followed, and Baker gave her kids to their dad to raise as her bones healed. There was a complication, though: A surgical tear in her spinal covering had left her brain stem dry for four days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d get hysterical and not know what’s really going around,” she said, “and verbally say stuff that didn’t make sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marlene had yet to get her diagnosis — schizoaffective disorder. She didn’t know about the underlying brain injury that likely caused her illness. She didn’t know she was ill, but her life was falling apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker wound up homeless in and around Mount Shasta, where winters are cold and bears and mountain lions wander through town at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the guys would watch over me while I slept at night,” she said, “and I’ve lost about four or five of them right now. The other ones, they’re still going in and out of mental hospitals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker’s parents had now moved to Mount Shasta, too, and they’d see her panhandling. They didn’t understand her angry outbursts and erratic behavior any better than she did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were embarrassed,” Baker said. “They didn’t know what to do with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This went on for more than 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Not a single crisis bed’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even in big cities, where services are not as hard to come by, people often slip through the cracks of the voluntary mental health system. So, California’s \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=WIC§ionNum=5150\">Welfare and Institutions Code 5150\u003c/a> serves as an important tool to help people like Baker, who don't know that they're sick. Under that civil statute, anyone deemed a danger to themselves or others, or gravely disabled, can be temporarily committed to a locked psychiatric facility for treatment. There’s just one problem — there \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20515636-cha-psych-bed-data-report-sept-2018#document/p12/a2022952\">are no facilities like that in Siskiyou County\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone has a psychotic break, they go to a hospital that is hours and hours away,” said Siskiyou County Public Defender Lael Kayfetz. \"You have to leave your family. You have to leave your support system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker was hospitalized just once under a 5150 hold: A case worker drove her 260 miles south to Sacramento. Mostly, though, Baker cycled in and out of the jail and back to the streets. Until 2013. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘I’m going to kill you’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Baker’s family rarely invited her over, but as a gesture of good will, they welcomed her to stay the night after a Thanksgiving meal. They woke up to her screams. She was in a psychosis — delusional and hallucinating. She thought an intruder had sliced her chest with a knife. She didn’t recognize her own family. And, in the chaos, she told her mom, “I’m going to kill you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her mom was scared,” said Kayfetz, who would represent Baker in connection with the incident. “So, they called law enforcement not understanding what they were setting in motion. There was no putting the brakes on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney charged Baker with Penal Code Section 422: making criminal threats. When it’s charged as a felony, as it was in Baker’s case, “it's a strike under the three strikes law,” Kayfetz said. “It changes everything about how you're treated in the system, how you're treated by law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A felony conviction can also make it difficult — or impossible — to get government-subsidized housing, for life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Siskiyou County Public Defender Lael Kayfetz']'By some miracle she made it to her next court appearance and that is the thing that saved her'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker was still psychotic. And she was clearly “incompetent to stand trial” — that means you can’t follow the proceedings, understand the charges or help your attorney. The process of regaining competency usually involves a trip to a state mental hospital, often after long waits in a jail cell. But for Baker, there was a hitch: Siskiyou County’s jail has so few beds for women that even those charged with felonies are often quickly set free. Baker was already out, with instructions in court for her first hearing in the case. If she failed to show up, the judge would likely issue a warrant for her arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By some miracle she made it to her next court appearance,” Kayfetz said, “and that is the thing that saved her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Bending the Rules\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, it takes an exception to create a new rule, and Baker became a test case. The judge, the public defender, county mental health officials and even the prosecutor, came to an agreement. Instead of returning her to jail or sending her to a state hospital hundreds of miles away, they’d try to help Baker on the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two psychologists who had to evaluate her competency arranged to do it at Kayfetz’s office, “something,” she said, “that had never been done before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, how Baker was going to keep complying with court demands — given her lack of housing and the county’s spotty public transportation — was not at all clear. If she had an address, county behavioral health workers could fetch her for her appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lael told me, ‘You need [to get] off the street,’ ” Baker recalled. “Getting off the street was key to my healing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker’s case worker began to search, placing her first in a series of motels before, finally, a permanent home.

Local law enforcement would pick her up for minor offenses — drinking in public or hitchhiking — then book her into the overcrowded jail and release her right back to the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you and you do things,” Baker, now 58, said in a 2019 interview at her tiny studio apartment in the Siskiyou County town of Weed. “I didn’t trust my mind for a long time. Still, I’ll wake up sometimes in the middle of the night screaming, like, is there a ghost in here or something? And then I just take my medicine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stories of our colliding criminal justice and mental health systems play out across the country. That crisis is most visible, and most commonly reported, in urban areas. But Baker’s is a rural story, full of profound rural challenges. Siskiyou County, which abuts the Oregon border, spans 6,000 square miles and is home to just shy of 44,000 people. Community mental health resources are thin. Public transportation is almost nonexistent, housing is scarce and recruiting mental health clinicians nearly impossible. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"mental-health,criminal-justice","label":"more coverage "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marlene Baker was too ill to voluntarily seek help for her condition. If she committed a more serious crime, she could receive the mental health treatment she needed. That's because a felony charge would finally compel her to accept care provided through the criminal justice system. Recent data from Siskiyou County indicate the jail is often the landing place for people with serious mental illness: About half the inmates are \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20514156-jail_mentalhealth_jpsreport_02-03-2020#document/p8/a2022750\">prescribed psychiatric meds\u003c/a>, more than double the state median.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental illness plays a role in a high number of criminal cases here.

It's a massive problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Baker’s case, though, despite those rural challenges — in some ways because of them — a number of key people took some risks and bent some rules to help her heal in the community, with her freedom intact.

Under that civil statute, anyone deemed a danger to themselves or others, or gravely disabled, can be temporarily committed to a locked psychiatric facility for treatment. There’s just one problem — there \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20515636-cha-psych-bed-data-report-sept-2018#document/p12/a2022952\">are no facilities like that in Siskiyou County\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone has a psychotic break, they go to a hospital that is hours and hours away,” said Siskiyou County Public Defender Lael Kayfetz. \"You have to leave your family. You have to leave your support system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker was hospitalized just once under a 5150 hold: A case worker drove her 260 miles south to Sacramento.

They woke up to her screams. She was in a psychosis — delusional and hallucinating. She thought an intruder had sliced her chest with a knife. She didn’t recognize her own family. And, in the chaos, she told her mom, “I’m going to kill you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her mom was scared,” said Kayfetz, who would represent Baker in connection with the incident. “So, they called law enforcement not understanding what they were setting in motion. There was no putting the brakes on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney charged Baker with Penal Code Section 422: making criminal threats. When it’s charged as a felony, as it was in Baker’s case, “it's a strike under the three strikes law,” Kayfetz said. “It changes everything about how you're treated in the system, how you're treated by law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A felony conviction can also make it difficult — or impossible — to get government-subsidized housing, for life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'By some miracle she made it to her next court appearance and that is the thing that saved her'","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Siskiyou County Public Defender Lael Kayfetz","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker was still psychotic. And she was clearly “incompetent to stand trial” — that means you can’t follow the proceedings, understand the charges or help your attorney. The process of regaining competency usually involves a trip to a state mental hospital, often after long waits in a jail cell. But for Baker, there was a hitch: Siskiyou County’s jail has so few beds for women that even those charged with felonies are often quickly set free. Baker was already out, with instructions in court for her first hearing in the case. If she failed to show up, the judge would likely issue a warrant for her arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By some miracle she made it to her next court appearance,” Kayfetz said, “and that is the thing that saved her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Bending the Rules\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, it takes an exception to create a new rule, and Baker became a test case. The judge, the public defender, county mental health officials and even the prosecutor, came to an agreement. Instead of returning her to jail or sending her to a state hospital hundreds of miles away, they’d try to help Baker on the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two psychologists who had to evaluate her competency arranged to do it at Kayfetz’s office, “something,” she said, “that had never been done before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, how Baker was going to keep complying with court demands — given her lack of housing and the county’s spotty public transportation — was not at all clear. If she had an address, county behavioral health workers could fetch her for her appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lael told me, ‘You need [to get] off the street,’ ” Baker recalled. “Getting off the street was key to my healing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker’s case worker began to search, placing her first in a series of motels before, finally, a permanent home. It was small and noisy, but with four walls and a door with a lock. On her first night, Baker said, “I had a backpack for a pillow” and a comforter her case worker grabbed from the office. Still, she missed the outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You breathe all the fresh air all night long, you’re under God’s heavens.

She hadn’t slept. She was too nervous. The judge congratulated her and declared her “restored” — as in restored to sanity.

Within months of her court victory, Baker’s longtime case worker died unexpectedly. Then came COVID-19 and deep isolation. Baker’s peer group has technically been allowed to meet. But “nobody wants to go because it’s 6 feet apart and you can’t eat in there,” she said, “and that’s why they always came. I would bring them good food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker’s visits with her psychiatrist are no longer in person, just phone calls. So the long-acting injections are out, too. She has to remember to take her pills each morning. And last fall, more loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom died, and two months later, my dad died,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given all that, Kayfetz said, the fact that Baker is still housed and plugged in to mental health services is a victory. Beyond that, Baker’s success has helped bring about broader change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after her six-year fight to shed her felony charge came to an end, Siskiyou County launched what’s known as a behavioral health court. It wipes the criminal charges off the records of participants who complete treatment. Every inmate who arrives at the jail now takes an iPad questionnaire to determine if they need mental health services or would be good candidates for the new court. If they are, they get that treatment right here in the community, with their liberty intact.\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\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11865201/how-one-womans-cycle-of-incarceration-and-mental-illness-helped-heal-a-rural-system","authors":["byline_news_11865201"],"programs":["news_72","news_26731"],"categories":["news_457","news_6266","news_6188","news_8"],"tags":["news_17725","news_4020","news_2109","news_29257","news_4776"],"featImg":"news_11865499","label":"news_26731"},"news_11718100":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11718100","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11718100","score":null,"sort":[1547860837000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"at-prather-ranch-cows-are-raised-for-fine-steaks-and-biomedical-research","title":"The Curious Second Life of a Prather Ranch Cow: Biomedical Research","publishDate":1547860837,"format":"audio","headTitle":"California Foodways | The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n a slaughterhouse in Macdoel, a speck of a town in Siskiyou County, just south of the Oregon border, seven workers step around each other and four cow carcasses on the kill floor, their movements almost a dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pratherranch.com/\">Prather Ranch\u003c/a> co-owner Mary Rickert explains the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just on the other side of that panel, the animal’s knocked unconscious,\" she says. \"The throats are slit, they have to be bled out.

They faced a money-losing business, and had to get creative, Jim explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I shrunk the herd down to about 250 mother cows. We just didn’t buy replacement females,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That created what’s now known as a “closed herd.” All animals in the herd are born within it; no new ones are introduced. That decision changed everything. Because, at the same time, in the early 1990s, two things were happening that, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first was an animal health scare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/1040/mad-cow-disease/timeline-mad-cow-disease-outbreaks\">Mad cow disease\u003c/a> — more formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy — \"was really developing into a real serious health crisis in the United Kingdom and Europe,” Mary says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second? A beauty trend: dermal fillers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember the pillowy lips of actresses in the 1990s? That look came from collagen injections that came from cowhides. Jim says an old friend, an early pioneer in collagen dermal fillers, knew that Prather Ranch had a closed herd, which made it much less susceptible to problems like mad cow disease. He knew he could make a cleaner, safer collagen with their cowhides. So he called them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I remember going, 'Really?' ” Jim says with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Puffy lips wasn’t exactly our primary life goal at that point,” Mary adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Rickerts wanted to keep the ranch going. That collagen company built them the slaughterhouse on-site. Eventually, biomedical companies came knocking for cow parts, too. He won’t talk about the financials, but Jim says there have been years when they’ve made more money selling beef byproducts for medical use than they made selling beef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11718934\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11718934\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34646_IMG_0537-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Employee Craig Holbrook prepares a femur for a medical client. \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The companies that buy from Prather Ranch sign confidentiality agreements, but one executive — whose company turns Prather Ranch cowhides into purified collagen for cell research, cancer research and 3D bio printing — says that a hide from Prather Ranch can cost him thousands of dollars more than those from other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the processing room, employee Craig Holbrook preps a femur bone for a medical client.

(Kari Greer)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Little noticed in the rest of California on Aug. 12, lightning strikes ignited several fires in the mountains along the Klamath River and just south of the Oregon border. It's country with a history of burning. Earlier in the summer, lightning-sparked fires swept across the region's vast forests, devouring a total of about 100,000 acres. Since 1999, those forests in Siskiyou and Trinity counties have been the scene of three of \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/downloads/fact_sheets/20LACRES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the biggest fires in state history\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blazes that started on Aug. 12 near the town of Happy Camp began spreading across a landscape suffering through a historic drought. Daily temperatures in the 90s and consistently low humidity helped create the perfect conditions for the fires to grow. The fire burned in remote, relatively inaccessible and very rough terrain. With all those ingredients in place, the fires, which federal fire managers named the Happy Camp Complex, began their march through Klamath National Forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of today -- Friday, Sept. 26 -- the main fire in the complex has burned 132,000 acres. That's about 210 square miles and roughly five times the land area of San Francisco. That makes it California's 16th-biggest fire in terms of area burned since the 1930s. After six weeks and the season's first significant rain, the fire is nearly 100 percent contained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've been following the fire from afar, especially during the weeks when it threatened hundreds of homes in the sparsely settled country along the Klamath and Scott rivers. One person who saw the fire close-up was freelance photographer Kari Greer. She spent weeks embedded with fire crews fighting the Happy Camp Complex, and the pictures here are a small selection of the chronicle she's posted at \u003ca href=\"http://wildland-fires.smugmug.com/Happy-Camp-Complex-CA-2014/Happy-Camp-Complex/\" target=\"_blank\">her own online gallery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Note: All images here are used by permission.

(Kari Greer)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Little noticed in the rest of California on Aug. 12, lightning strikes ignited several fires in the mountains along the Klamath River and just south of the Oregon border. It's country with a history of burning. Earlier in the summer, lightning-sparked fires swept across the region's vast forests, devouring a total of about 100,000 acres. Since 1999, those forests in Siskiyou and Trinity counties have been the scene of three of \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/downloads/fact_sheets/20LACRES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the biggest fires in state history\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blazes that started on Aug. 12 near the town of Happy Camp began spreading across a landscape suffering through a historic drought. Daily temperatures in the 90s and consistently low humidity helped create the perfect conditions for the fires to grow. The fire burned in remote, relatively inaccessible and very rough terrain. With all those ingredients in place, the fires, which federal fire managers named the Happy Camp Complex, began their march through Klamath National Forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of today -- Friday, Sept. 26 -- the main fire in the complex has burned 132,000 acres. That's about 210 square miles and roughly five times the land area of San Francisco. That makes it California's 16th-biggest fire in terms of area burned since the 1930s. After six weeks and the season's first significant rain, the fire is nearly 100 percent contained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've been following the fire from afar, especially during the weeks when it threatened hundreds of homes in the sparsely settled country along the Klamath and Scott rivers. One person who saw the fire close-up was freelance photographer Kari Greer. She spent weeks embedded with fire crews fighting the Happy Camp Complex, and the pictures here are a small selection of the chronicle she's posted at \u003ca href=\"http://wildland-fires.smugmug.com/Happy-Camp-Complex-CA-2014/Happy-Camp-Complex/\" target=\"_blank\">her own online gallery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Note: All images here are used by permission.

The cause is under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It went through here so fast it was unbelievable,\" Jim Taylor, a retired butcher who has lived in the town for 30 years, said Tuesday. His house was one of three standing along his street after firefighters arrived in time to foam the side next to his neighbor's burning house. \"I'm not a real religious person, but somebody was looking out for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remnants of the Holy Family Catholic Church were still smoldering, its metal girders twisted on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean it was devastating,\" said Maureen Campbell, the church's music minister, who was baptized, confirmed and married at the church, along with her children.

(An acre foot is about 325,000 gallons, or just enough water to cover an acre one foot deep.) This year, Tyhurst says, the lake started well below 10,000 acre feet, with little in the way of snow on the mountain to help refill it. By late July, parts of the lake seemed to be missing — a blue patch on a map might just turn out to be an empty green field. In one spot, a sign next to a dry, rocky slope advised against swimming or fishing. The lake, or what remained of it, looked to be something of a hike down the hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water travels to Montague in what Tyhurst calls “deliveries.” Every few weeks, some 200 acre-feet are released into a 26-mile canal that was constructed with farm irrigation in mind. The unlined ditch is poorly suited to water conservation. Much of it is bare earth, which gulps down a lot of the water long before it reaches the town, to say nothing of what evaporates in transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20698\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/08/Pipeline_7044_crop.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20698\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/08/Pipeline_7044_crop.jpg\" alt=\"Workers lower a segment of the new, more efficient pipeline next to where they’re carving a miles-long trench from the Shasta River to Montague’s reservoir.

You look like a jerk if you go ‘Okay, well, if I go over the 5,000 gallon-a-month limit I’ll just pay for it.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a close-knit community, he explains: “Of course it’s frowned upon, because everybody has to look out for each other up here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Banking on a Pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the base of Mount Shasta sits \u003ca title=\"Wiki - Shastina\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shastina\">Lake Shastina\u003c/a>, which in good years can hold more than 30,000 acre-feet of water. (An acre foot is about 325,000 gallons, or just enough water to cover an acre one foot deep.) This year, Tyhurst says, the lake started well below 10,000 acre feet, with little in the way of snow on the mountain to help refill it. By late July, parts of the lake seemed to be missing — a blue patch on a map might just turn out to be an empty green field. In one spot, a sign next to a dry, rocky slope advised against swimming or fishing. The lake, or what remained of it, looked to be something of a hike down the hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water travels to Montague in what Tyhurst calls “deliveries.” Every few weeks, some 200 acre-feet are released into a 26-mile canal that was constructed with farm irrigation in mind. The unlined ditch is poorly suited to water conservation. Much of it is bare earth, which gulps down a lot of the water long before it reaches the town, to say nothing of what evaporates in transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20698\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/08/Pipeline_7044_crop.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20698\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/08/Pipeline_7044_crop.jpg\" alt=\"Workers lower a segment of the new, more efficient pipeline next to where they’re carving a miles-long trench from the Shasta River to Montague’s reservoir.

Tyhurst says normally such a project, which is costing over a million drought emergency dollars from the State Water Board, would’ve taken years to win approval from the numerous government agencies involved. Tyhurst credits the governor’s January declaration of a drought emergency with helping slice through all that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, construction itself hasn’t been easy. The morning I visited, a giant yellow machine was devouring underbrush like a hungry dinosaur to clear a path for the pipeline’s trench. But before the pipe could be buried, its specifications required it to cool, Tyhurst says. “I think the specs call for 70 degrees…and with a hundred degrees during the day, you just cook out here.”\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>Even when the pipeline is ready, Montague officials told me, the town’s water woes won’t be completely over.
