Prohibition in San Mateo County
In the 1930s, mobster Sam Termini called San Mateo County the most corrupt county in the state. With rumrunners landing Canadian whiskey on isolated beaches, moonshiners operating in homes and a multitude of speakeasies in every Peninsula community, the county earned a reputation as one of the “wettest” in the state during Prohibition. During the presentation, Carmen Blair will share local Prohibition stories she discovered while researching for the San Mateo County History Museum’s temporary exhibit Broads, Bootleggers and Bookies in 2011. This event will be in the Oak Room. Photo: Hotel San Pedro at the Sánchez Adobe was a speakeasy during Prohibition. Courtesy San Mateo County Historical Association.
Carmen Blair joined the staff of the San Mateo County Historical Association in 1998 and has been the Deputy Director since 2007. Among her responsibilities, she is involved with school programs, public programs for adults and children, exhibit design and publications.

It has become obvious that our current land management practices are ineffective in sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Recent research has shown that 41 percent of the world’s insect population is in decline. Fewer insects would be devastating to amphibians, birds, fish, and reptiles that need these insects as a food supply. With global warming added to this scenario, it is like pouring gas on an already raging fire. In this seminar I will explore how the plants and birds are reacting to heterogeneous climate change and how we can modify this trend one garden at a time.
