  • Women and Equality
    WOMEN AND EQUALITY A California Review of Women’s Equity Issues in Civil Rights, Education and the Workplace California Senate Office of Research February 1999 Dedicated to Senator Rose Ann Vuich Rose Ann Vuich was elected California’s first woman state senator in 1976 and served four terms through 1992. Although a Democrat by registration, she built a reputation as a political independent who shunned deal-making. Throughout her legislative career, Senator Vuich represented her San Joaquin Valley district first and foremost and relied on her own knowledge and judgment to do it. She was reared on a farm in Tulare County, where she has spent most of her life. With a degree in accounting from the Central California Commercial College in Fresno, she worked as an accountant, tax consultant, estate planner and office manager before her election. After becoming a senator she continued, with her brother, to manage the family farm in Dinuba. The California State Senate began to change after Senator Vuich joined its ranks, followed over the years by other women. She kept a small porcelain bell on her Senate floor desk, and would gently but insistently shake it whenever a colleague addressed the “gentlemen of the Senate.” The Senate chamber originally had no women’s restroom. But that oversight permitted Senator Vuich, during a Capitol restoration in the late 1970s, to design a comfortable “Rose Room” where she and women members into the future could retreat from the Senate floor. A daughter of Yugoslav immigrants, Senator Vuich achieved many “firsts,” from serving as the first woman president of the Dinuba Chamber of Commerce to becoming the first woman to preside over a Senate floor session in 1986.

    For Immediate Release SKYSTAR WHEEL TO REOPEN THURSDAY, MARCH 4 MUSIC CONCOURSE, GOLDEN GATE PARK; SFUSD GRADUATING SENIORS TO RIDE FREE THIS SUMMER To Reserve Tickets: skystarwheel.com SAN FRANCISCO (March 2, 2021) — SkyStar Wheel, the 150-ft. tall Observation Wheel located in the Music Concourse of Golden Gate Park, will reopen Thursday, March 4 at noon, SkyStar and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced today. News of the reopening follows health officials placing San Francisco into the less restrictive red tier, allowing for a return of some public outdoor and indoor activities. With today’s news, the popular SkyStar Wheel will resume offering soaring rides high above the iconic San Francisco skyline after a 95-day hiatus due to a surge in COVID-19 cases. Special to today’s announcement will be SkyStar and SF Rec and Park’s offer to all San Francisco public school graduating seniors to take a free ride on the Wheel this summer beginning June 2 through Sept. 6; students will need to show their SFUSD identification card at the on-site ticket booth for the free ride. SkyView Managing Partner Todd Schneider said, “We welcome today’s positive news that San Francisco will be moving into the red tier this week and in response, we’re very pleased to announce SkyStar Observation Wheel will officially reopen for rides beginning Thursday, March 4. We look forward to reconnecting with Bay Area families and individuals by offering a wonderful, safe and memorable aerial experience while adhering to public health protocols for wearing masks, social distancing and more.” “The pandemic has been especially hard on kids who are missing out on celebrating their milestones and achievements the way they’ve envisioned,” said San Francisco Recreation and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg.

    Northern Station Newsletter sa nfranciscopol ice. org Sun Francisco -•• - ];''1 Police Deportment (IIII11111111 1U['Di '•- IL' Captain Joe Engler's Message Residents, Merchants, and Visitors, Active and ongoing communication between law enforcement and community members is a key feature of "community policing" and a critical ingredient in the effectiveness of your officers at Northern Police Station. The Northern District embraces a strategy using foot-beat officers in the several commercial corridors of its neighborhoods. Foot patrols cast our officers in the most traditional of police roles. These officers are in direct contact with the public at almost all times and are in the best position to learn about the neighborhood's problems and the path to real solutions. Captain Joseph Eng!er Currently, the following listed officers are contributing to our safe streets and neighborhoods by walking a foot-beat. Officer Matt Horn is the new Hayes Valley/Haight Street beat. Officers Paul Wilgus and Cliff Burkhart walk the beat in Japantown and the Upper Fillmore. Officer Brian Donohue and Calvinn Wang are adept problem solvers in the Lower Polk Street corridor. Officer Nate Bernard peddles the hills and alley ways in the Upper Polk Street neighborhood. Officer Stephen Horn has endeared himself to the Union Street merchants and residents as he returns to his Cow Hollow beat. Sibling Officers Shyrle and Nico Hawes have signed up for the Divisadero Street and Chestnut Street foot beats and will be working closely with businesses to abate the recent spate in shoplifting and car break-ins. Officers Dennis Cesena and Mike Chantal will continue their foot beat duties around the Civic Center and City Hall footprint.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California William Newsom POLITICS, LAW, AND HUMAN RIGHTS Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2008-2009 Copyright © 2009 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and William Newsom, dated August 7, 2009, and Barbara Newsom, dated September 22, 2009 (by her executor), and Brennan Newsom, dated November 12, 2009. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • Supervisor Katy Tang
    NOVEMBER 2015 SUNSET · PARKSIDE SUPERVISOR KATY TANG MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERVISOR Larsen Playground We are excited to share with you that Larsen Playground will be re-opening this month, and we welcome you all to celebrate the return of its jet-inspired play structure with us! Many of those who grew up in San Francisco remember Larsen Park as the “airplane park,” in reference to the decommissioned jet that served as a play structure from 1959 through 1993. Thanks to the Friends of Larsen Playground (including Cammy Blackstone and Nano Visser), former District 4 Supervisor Carmen Chu, neighbors, and generous donors, we are proud to bring back one of San Francisco’s most missed landmarks in our district. We will be unveiling a sculpted replica of the F-8 Crusader jet to pay tribute to the great Larsen jet of the past – along with new playground features and new restrooms. Please bring your family to join us for the Larsen Playground Re-opening on Saturday, November 21, 2015 from 11:00AM-1:00PM at Larsen Playground (Vicente Street between 19th & 20th Avenue). For more information on the project, visit: www.sfrecpark.org/project/larsen-park-jet-playground Affordable Housing Bonus Program (AHBP) As San Francisco faces growing housing demands, it becomes increasingly important to preserve and protect our middle class working families. I recently co-sponsored legislation with Mayor Ed Lee to create a local Affordable Housing Bonus Program (AHBP). This program seeks to incentivize the development of affordable housing units throughout the City, including those that serve middle-income households and families needing 2-bedroom units.
