My relationship with the Contra Costa Community College District (District) began in 1989. My colleague Thais Kishi, who was then a doctoral student at the University of Texas at Austin, told me about an opening for a dean at Los Medanos College (LMC) in Pittsburg, California. As Thais described the college and the opportunity, they both sounded interesting, so I decided to apply. I was contacted for an interview while participating in a League for Innovation leadership program in Charlotte, North Carolina. When I told the league’s executive director, Terry O’Banion, about my interview, he was thrilled. He said, “You won’t believe this, but a manager from LMC is attending the meeting.” It gets better. The manager was Sandy Acebo, who had formerly held the dean’s position for which I was applying. Terry called LMC President Chet Case on my behalf and encouraged him to accommo- date my schedule. Then he introduced me to Sandy. We connected imme- diately, and she prepared me for my interview over breakfast one morning. Serendipity, indeed! vii FOREWORD It never dawned on me until I sat waiting for my interview that I didn’t know anyone in California. It was only my second time in the state, and I knew if I accepted the position, the life I had known in Louisiana and Texas would change dramatically and that my children and I would be in for a real adventure. Some 20 years have passed since that interview. The District opened its arms to me and provided wonderful opportunities to learn and grow—at LMC, the District Offi ce, Contra Costa College, and, for the past four years, at the District Offi ce for the third time. I am so thankful that no momentary lapse of courage kept me from deciding to accept the position. I cannot imagine a better place to work and fulfi ll my educational calling. Yes, the District has faced tremendous chal- lenges, but this county and this community have always stood tall against adversity, supporting higher education as a gateway to future success and a better quality of life. This 60th anniversary book, Sharing Memories: Contra Costa Commu- nity College District, 1948–2008, is a contribution to the District’s legacy of action, visionary leadership, committed employees, and tireless commu- nity supporters. It shares the stories of events, decisions, and activities that shaped the unique character of our colleges, and mirrors the societal chal- lenges they faced. It refl ects the many changes that have happened since the last edition in 1986, including efforts to increase the diversity of the faculty and staff to match the ongoing changes in our student population and com- munities. This eclectic collection of personal stories is by no means comprehensive. Our rich legacy could never be captured fully in a single volume. However, it does convey the challenges our founders overcame, provides an under- standing of our complex and diverse community, and helps celebrate the many successes the District has achieved during its 60-year history. I extend heartfelt gratitude to my friend Bill Harlan, who spearheaded this ambitious project. As a former faculty member and District adminis- trator, Bill was not only the right person to understand the sensitivities of the issues we faced, but also had the original vision of sharing our history through this important collection. This book will be a must-read for future employees of the District. viii FOREWORD Finally, this book is dedicated to our Contra Costa County community. On behalf of the District employees and trustees, we are honored to accept the responsibility of meeting the higher education needs of our community, and we look forward to another wonderful 60 years of providing educa- tional opportunities for the thousands of students who come to our cam- puses. Sincerely, Helen Benjamin, Ph.D. Chancellor ix Introduction When Chancellor Helen Benjamin asked me to write a history of the Contra Costa Community College District, I spent several days going through the archives at the District Offi ce. I was overwhelmed by the amount of information I would have to synthesize into a coherent narra- tive. I was even more impressed by the many accounts individuals had writ- ten over the years about specifi c events in which they had been involved. It occurred to me that the best service I could perform on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of this institution was to honor some of the people who had helped shape the District by letting you hear their voices. What follows is a small sampling of the wealth of words I discovered. I make no claim that it is comprehensive. I began by looking at some of the key events in our collective history and fi nding what people wrote at the time or what they could share looking back at their involvement. I followed as many leads as I could—names suggested by people at the District Offi ce and at each of the campuses—and I asked everyone which crucial events they thought had brought about the curious organizational culture that all of us—students, employees, policy makers—encounter when we come to xi INTRODUCTION the District.

It will not just be a collection of shows like a lot of companies offer for a monthly fee via Pivotshare but also offer original content and a lot of archived shows, some dating back as far as 2006. We will also have our uniquely designed interface/UI, while hosting and infrastructure will be managed by Vimeo, our long-time streaming partner, dating back to 2013. Wrestling journalist Markus Gronemann (DarkMat.eu, Wrestling Observer) considers this to be the biggest launch of an over-the-top pro wrestling channel by a single promotion since New Japan World. wXw Managing Director Christian Jakobi held a keynote presentation tonight at 8 pm CEST at the wXw Wrestling Academy training school, which was streamed live on Facebook (the video is available, albeit only in German, here) and talked about what future and past events and what kind of original content would be available. We had up to 750 viewers simultaneously on Facebook and also had some students and a trainer (Toby Blunt) in attendance to provide some crowd noise and cheering at key points during the announcement. Marquee Events are wXw's version of pay-per-view caliber shows, where feuds start and end and international talent often appears.

  • Background the Whirley Crane and Shipyard Number 3
    Background The Whirley Crane and Shipyard Number 3 The “Whirley Crane,” so-called because its turret is capable of rotating 360 degrees, was built by Clyde Iron Works of Duluth, Minnesota in 1935. It was first used to build Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state, the second phase of which was done by a consortium of companies led by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. In 1941, the crane was shipped by barge down the Columbia River and down the coast to Todd California Shipbuilding in Richmond, which later became Shipyard No 1 of Kaiser’s Richmond shipbuilding enterprise. In this location, it and dozens of others like it dominated the skyline of Richmond’s southern waterfront. Crane Facts: Weight: 229,000 pounds Boom length: 110 feet Diameter of turntable assembly: 28 feet Lifting capacity: 166,000 Original cost: $32,000 The use of Whirley Cranes was a major innovation in the mass production of ships. The cranes made it possible to turn huge ship structural pieces around and over during the pre-assembly process so that novice welders could complete relatively simple welding seams parallel to the ground. The cranes were also used in groups – as many as four cranes working together -- to move large pre-assembled parts of a ship into place in the basins so the ship could be fitted together, generally by welding. The result was a previously unimagined rate of production. A total of 747 ships were produced in the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond from 1942-1945. After the war, this crane was acquired by Parr-Richmond Terminal, which later became Levin-Richmond Terminal Corporation.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    ADDING DIMENSION Evangelical Community Hospital Annual Report 2019 TABLE OF CONTENTS 14 Board of Directors 16 02 Donor Report PRIME 48 06 Financial Report Geisinger Relationship 50 09 Community Benefit Report An Epic Conversion 12 Social Issues President’s Message Fiscal year 2019 was a period of extraordinary change at Evangelical Community Hospital. We signaled our strategic intent by announcing a stronger relationship with Geisinger. The unique agreement positions Evangelical to move forward as an independent community hospital while working more closely with Geisinger to make healthcare delivery in our region more efficient, cost- effective, and simply better for the patients we serve. The Hospital broke ground on our most ambitious construction project to date—a 112,000-square-foot expansion that, while not changing our bed complement, will significantly impact how care is delivered at Evangelical. Patients and families will be admitted to private rooms with their own bathrooms, and our caregivers will have the space and privacy they need to support the healing process. We started the move to a single, integrated electronic medical record. The transition will improve efficiency as providers and staff no longer must jump from one system to another in caring for patients. We shifted our strategic employee training to better address social issues impacting the community beyond our Hospital’s walls. We addressed suicide awareness, took a fresh, more personalized look at sexual harassment, moved to help alleviate the opioid addiction epidemic, and developed an award-winning human trafficking education model that is being replicated at other institutions in Pennsylvania. In short, we spent the fiscal year adding dimension—to our physical footprint, to our strategic direction, to our digital infrastructure, and to our community impact.
