Early Childhood Education Professor Kathy Bobula introduced Hilliard and the opening speaker, photographer Eve Crane. Bobula serves on the college’s Cultural Pluralism Committee and noted that Hilliard’s presentation was an example of how “Clark College supports and values diversity initiatives.” Crane, who lives in Beaverton, gave a short presentation that mostly focused on showing photographs she had taken of the Black Panthers in the 1960s and 1970s.This African-American organization espoused revolution and armed self-defense, and was widely viewed as the more radical edge of the Black Power movement of the 1960s, with its leaders—including Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, and Huey Newton—often shown wearing their trademark black leather jackets and dark sunglasses, and carrying guns. Much of Hilliard’s speech focused on contradicting that view, pointing out the party’s work providing food, education, and medical screenings in the Left to right: David Hilliard, Kathy Bobula, and President Bob Knight. communities where it was based. “The things you remember most about the Black Panther Party was our militancy,” he said. “We don’t apologize for our posture of self-defense.

    2017/2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Annual Report 092718.indd 1 10/1/18 10:02 AM The 2017 – 2018 fiscal year has proven to be Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation’s most productive to-date. Though the effective leadership of our Executive Director, Ken Lupoff, as well as the tireless work of our board members, the Foundation hit some major milestones this past year. One of our major accomplishments was with our 15th Annual A Taste of Spring in April. Through diligent work and effective planning, we were able to not only hold the event at the Oakland Museum of California for the first time, but also produced record net revenue for our signature event. It proved to be a special evening with a room full of great energy. We sincerely thank all who were able to join us at this year’s A Taste of Spring and we appreciate the generosity of our attendees. As the Foundation is always working on creative ways to fundraise, we recently started holding private house parties which are designed to introduce Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation to potential new supporters. This new venture has been a true success, and we are currently planning our next party as well as others over the course of the next year. On the volunteerism front, we have really stepped up our game! Led by our Vice President and Volunteerism Committee Chair, Liz Westbrook, our volunteer work has grown in scope over the past year, as we now typically conduct three to four solid work days per year.

    GarfieldCoverFINAL.pdf 3/17/09 9:48:53 AM How one physician’s revolutionary vision paved the way from a 12-bed hospital in the Mojave Desert at the height of the Great Depression to what is today the nation’s largest, most successful THE STORY OF nonprot health care organization — Kaiser Permanente. Like the architect he always wanted to be, physician Sidney R. Gareld spent most of his life designing and building a model of a new kind of health care. Built on the foundations of group practice (as opposed to solo practice), prepayment (as opposed to fee-for-service), and prevention and health promotion (as opposed to sick care only), it was in many ways the opposite, mirror-image of the way health care was nanced and delivered in the rest of America. In partnership with Henry J. Kaiser, one of the great industrialists of the early 20th century, Gareld stood rm against waves of early opposition from mainstream medicine and went on DR. SIDNEY R. GA to build one of the most acclaimed and successful health care organizations in America. This book tells the story of Dr. Sidney Gareld’s long and eventful career in turning his desert dream into a thriving and enduring reality that continues to oer a practical model for the future of American health care.

  • C. Air Quality
    IV. Environmental Setting, Impacts and Mitigation Measures C. Air Quality This section discusses the potential impacts of the implementation of the Kaiser Permanente OMC Project on the local and regional air quality. As necessary, appropriate standard conditions of approval are also identified and discussed. Setting Regulatory Framework EPA is responsible for implementing the programs established under the federal Clean Air Act, such as establishing and reviewing the federal ambient air quality standards and judging the adequacy of State Implementation Plans (SIP). However, the EPA has delegated the authority to implement many of the federal programs to the states while retaining an oversight role to ensure that the programs continue to be implemented. In California, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is responsible for establishing and reviewing the state ambient air quality standards, developing and managing the California SIP, securing approval of this plan from U.S. EPA, and identifying TACs. (A notable exception exists for radioactive air contaminants as the EPA has retained its authority to enforce NESHAP requirements.) CARB also regulates mobile emissions sources in California, such as construction equipment, trucks, and automobiles, and oversees the activities of air quality management districts, which are organized at the county or regional level. An air quality management district is primarily responsible for regulating stationary emissions sources at facilities within its geographic areas and for preparing the air quality plans that are required under the federal Clean Air Act and California Clean Air Act. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is the regional agency with regulatory authority over emission sources in the Bay Area, which includes all of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and Napa counties and the southern half of Sonoma and southwestern half of Solano counties.
