9:11 am
harassment, violence. people would get their checks. and it was not uncommon to see somebody get beaten up by a boss. >> asbed cofounded coalition of workers for ciw. it's mission, force fairness and workers right until there are's field. tomato farmers refused to talk to them. >> then you changed tactics. >> yes. because you beat your head against the wall long enough you decide that that hurts and if there is a way to get around it. >> in 2000 the ciw began pressuring the top of the tomato chain, fast food and grocery corporation. in 2005 taco bell became the first big buyer to sign on to the ciw's fair food program. buyers agreed to pay an extra
9:12 am
penny per pound for tomatoes, money that goes to workers. and buyers only do business with participating florida farmers. more than a dozen restaurant chains and retailers have signed on, including mcdonald's', chipotle, trader joe's and wal-mart which sells 20% of america's tomatoes. wal-mart's joining was featured in the 2014 documentary "food chain." >> we believe that by signing up that we can have a major impact on the sustainability and the chain. >> and wal-mart, known as a tough labor negotiate tore sign on did that give you whole new level of credibility. >> it helped send a message to the industry that the program is not going away, it's only getting stronger. >> florida tomato growers got the message. 90% of florida's tomatoes are now grown on fair food farms. >> you have two crews today?
9:13 am
>> farmer signed on first. it's the right thing to do. why are you doing this now? i said because i didn't do it ten years ago. >> how long should it have happened? >> it should ha have happened 150 years ago. >> the esformes family owns pacific toe hey toe which employs 1500 people. >> there's no question in my mind that bad things were happening in agriculture and on farms not just my own but farms across the country. things that i did not know about about. this gave me the tool. >> that tool is the fair foods standard council an independent group that inspects participating farmers and holds them accountable. along with the penny premium, growers must have zero tolerance for forced labor, child labor
9:14 am
and sexual harassment. other standards such as mandated shade and mandatory worker legally required. >> we are enforcement obsessed. >> laura safer espinoza a retired new york state supreme court justice heads up the fair foods standard council. >> we have over four seasons virtually eliminated the worst actors who were responsible for any kind of abuses of that type. >> but challenges remain. omaha few supermarket chains have signed on to the program. for instance, publix, florida's largest has not. in a statement that the company says it's not their police to get involved in the labor disputes of its suppliers. we expect our suppliers to follow the laws established to protect and promote a safe and healthful workplace for their
9:15 am
employees. but the ciw hopes that socially conscious consumers will look for this new logo. some whole foods stores now display them with wal-mart and others soon joining. >> as a consumer, whether you're a consumer that buys for his or her family or you're a consumer who buys millions of pounds of tomatoes every year like make. >> that choice has generated almost $20 million for workers on participating farms. to a typical florida tomato picker it means an extra $60-80 a week. but nationally more than half of all farm workers make less than $20,000 a year and quarter live below the federal poverty line. matt the prongers is whole foods produce coordinator. >> a relatively small impact on costs can have really large impact on people doing this work on the farms. one of the big conversations right now with the folks that
9:16 am
started the fair food program is what's next. they have done an excellent job on tomatoes in florida, it's a great model. shows great potential. now what's next? fair food ought for began visiting farms in five more states. in november they will begin field of another big florida export, bell peppers. >> do you think you'll be able to get out of this kind of work? >> no. >> 55 years after harvest of shame, gerardo reyes sees something new growing in these fields. >> it's a completely different world. when you think of agriculture, and the way in which all of the abusive conditions happen in every crop basically. when you see how this is working and why it is working, yeah, it gives us a lot of hope.

9:19 am
exist. nor was single working model of his impractical triangle design ever built. it was left to others to take the next step. in 1895, an inventor named charles seeburger was the first to use the term escalate for combining latin words "scala" with "elevatus" for rise. in 1896 a different inventor jessie reno installed one of his designs at new york's coney island as a thrill ride. by the early 1900s the otis elevator company had acquired most of the escalator patents and the moving staircase was quickly becoming a familiar sight in department stores and other public places. familiar enough in fact to win a
9:20 am
comic role in charlie chaplain's 1916 film "the floorwalker." not that escalator designs stood still since then, few of the earliest escalators with wooden steps still survive. most escalators long since adopted steps of metal. and early this century mitsubishi lecturned heads by installing a spiral escalator at caesar's palace in las vegas. even made political history this past june, donald trump rode one to enter the presidential race. with the escalator and its cues in the moving sidewalk at airports and much quoted ancient chinese proverb, the journey of a thousand miles can begin with just a single step.

9:39 am
9:40 am
loved ones, to a cozy place where you could count your blessings not have to listen to the din of your spouse reminding that ceramic knives do not belong in the dishwasher and your kids fighting about who has the stinkiest feet? sounds like you need a man cave. but what if you're not a man? never fear, the she shed is here. women all over this great land are creating spaces just for themselves, most often out of sheds in their back yards. they're fantasy cottages, despoke bungalows, for mothers and wives who need a sanctuary a haven where they can do anything. or nothing. a place to practice yoga or practice drinking wine in yoga pants. at least one woman says it's saved her marriage. i have a she shed. the four of us, plus my husband's dog share a
9:41 am
two-bedroom apartment. our daughter naps in a pack and play in the middle of our master bedroom. there's not even space for a desk in our home. so i spent my hard-earned book money and rented this small apartment downstairs from us. as you can see it's sparsely and perfectly decorated. there is some history. personally i was inspired by virginia woolt who declared that in order to write a woman must have a room of her own. i was less inspired by marie antoinette who escaped her palace be ordering an entire hamlet to be built. marie played a milk maid out of ennui today's women need a break from all the roles they play. it's telling that even in my office/refuge there are toys everywhere because my kids appropriate space when i'm not working or hiding here.
9:42 am
i like the connotation of a shed, where as man cave suggests something neanderthal where a guy goes to reclaim his masculine knee as if he's been tamed. shed suggests a women's shedding of burdensome trappings and ex peak takes. a she shed sheds light on the fact that a woman longs to escape the domestic sphere over which she historically, supposedly reigns. man cave, seems retrograde. but she shed seems proceed depressive. or maybe it's just a place for me to eat embarrassing amounts of chocolate in private. >> osgood: next -- you have a problem with throwing things away? >> i don't throw anything away. >> osgood: the road to ruins. connections you almost miss. and ones you never thought you'd make.
9:43 am
we help connect where you are. to places you never thought you'd go. this, is why we travel. and why we continue to create new technology to connect you to the people and places that matter. do you want to know how hard it can be to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva respimat does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva respimat. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain or problems passing urine,

9:45 am
>> osgood: west and roots is our up close look where vintage cars go back to nature. tracy smith leads us into the woods. >> in a forest an hour's drive north of atlanta, an unusual museum has taken root. >> what do you think looking around this place? >> i think it's a 4 acre piece of art. >> 34 acre piece of art? >> yeah. >> it also happened to be something else. a junk yard. dean lewis is the owner, and one could say the curator of old car
9:46 am
city usa in white, georgia. >> i don't think anyone else has 4200 whole american cars 1972 and older. >> if they do no one keeps them in a garage quite like this. detroit may have designed these rides, but mother nature has done all the detailing. some cars have grown right up with the trees. others have become two ton flower pots. this wild ride started in 1931 when dean lewis' parents bought a plot of land and opened a general store. >> no electricity. no paved roads. made another dollar in depression time. several years later i was born. >> when you were a kid you played around in all the junk cars? >> i drove a million miles, never moved an inch.
9:47 am
>> after high school dean spent few years saving up money working as a truck terminal manager then one by one he started picking up used cars. more than 4,000, and hauling them home. so his parents could tell sell off their parts. for almost five decades, the lewis family had the best car parts business around. but as many of their cars rusted and rotted and began to merge with the landscape, dean had an epiphany. you have a vision of this place going from junk yard to museum? >> over 30 years ago i told my son and daughter, jeff and tracy, that this place would probably turn into a show place one day rather than a sales place. and it has. >> now, hundreds of visitors a year pay $15 to stroll around $25 if they want to bring a camera just to take in that strange organic harmony of rust and roots. >> i live in detroit and detroit is the motor city and i thought
9:48 am
what a great idea to come up to and see what the cars look like from the 1950s. >> melody travels here from as far away from thailand and swede glenn this is the absolute best place to shoot. there's so much here to do, to see, you can smell the cars, there's history here. >> i would i am ma'am in every car has a story. this one in particular? >> this is because my dad in 1965 bought this car for my wife right after we got married. she drove it for years. it's been here for 40 years. i saved it like i've saved every car i've ever had. never traded anything in. >> all of the cars you've ever had are in this junk yard? >> oh, yeah. >> you have a problem with throwing things away, dean? >> yeah. i don't throw anything away. >> while the cars are the stars here, you'll also find a lot of dean lewis and his unique sense
9:49 am
ever humor along the six miles of trail. dean's best friends are part of this, like his childhood buddy, fast eddie, who wrote a theme song called "the old car city blues." of the thousands of cars here, dean has restored about half dozen. he says all the cars are technically for sale for the right price. but really it's hard to imagine he'd let any of them drive off. what do you say to people who say, you're letting history rot away? >> well, they're getting another life, you know. and they will be remembered by the pictures. >> but he's preserving them in a living auto show for the ages. and if you ever decide to stop by, don't worry, there's plenty
9:52 am
a stradivarius. >> osgood: it happened this past week. a noteworthy break in a decades-old crime. federal officials in new york on thursday announced the recovery of a stolen stradivarius violin. potentially worth millions. the nearly 300-year-old violin was stolen in 1980 from the office of roman totenberg, a renowned concert violinist and music teacher.
9:53 am
totenberg lamented its loss in an interview with "sunday morning" the very next year. >> i feel that when you open this case that maybe there is a violin after all, that maybe it was all a dream. >> osgood: finally this past week there was the violin. recovered after an appraiser notified police a widow had brought it to him for evaluation. the totenberg family had long considered the woman's late husband the prime suspect. no charges are being brought against the widow. the return comes too late for roman totenberg who died three years ago at the age of 101. but his family was on hand, including daughter nina totenberg the legal affairs correspondent for npr. she says the plan is to sell the violin to a worthy musician who, in her words, will thrill audiences in concert halls around the world.

9:57 am

10:10 am
he -- yeah, you know, he wasn't the happiest. my mom ultimately probably is much more because she's an educator. she's someone that believes in taking chances. she has an incredible work ethic. she believes that no matter what happens to you, if you work hard enough if you fight hard enough you will turn it around. like that's where all that comes from. >> she sounds great. >> she's a spit fire, man. 81. she'll knock you out. >> well then, i had just one more for jon stewart. as soon as i could find it. >> it's not there. >> i know. >> no amount of skipping is going to bring it there. >> unless you wrote it in lemon juice. >> what are you going to do next after the daily show? >> i don't know. >> what do you think? you know what? have your viewers draw some suns next. a doctor sun.
