San Francisco Examiner B-4 Fnday Jovember13, 1987 JEWELER From B-1 APPOINT From B-1 criminate in Its hiring against gays und lesbians. l.yon said It was "not unusual" for lame-duck mayors to make a lot of last minute appointments. "Dut 1 have never heard of a chairperson of a commission being dumped, as it were, in this kind of circumstance," she said. "Certainly she's asked people to resign in the past, but this just was blatant." Itoff said, "Some people are trying to make more out of this than really is there. "It's a question of the number of people ho want to serve on a commission, and they ithe seats) do provide a way to reach out and bring people into the administration." Tho agency "has an immense amount of power out of the control of tho mayor," llestor said.

"If you ant to oi hroutfh tho agency to chanue a direction or einphasie some policies, he II ithe new mayor! hao to hat in hand." Tho committee passed tho appointments on to the full hoard, though it agreed to look into objections of possible conflicts of interest involving Gustavson because of his position. In the past few weeks, Foinstoin appointed one new member to The City's Housing Authority Commission; two new library commissioners, a new member to the Human liighls Commission: and made lit reappointments to nine commissions and boards. She also approved the hiring of new City Librarian Ken Powlin. Fein.steln's most criticized appointment was a nonappointment. Ksta Soler.

Fellow Commissioner I'hyllis l.yon resigned in protest. l.yon, appointed in li)7fi by Mayor George Moscone and subse-quently reappointed twice by Fein-stein, said Feinstein's action seemed to be in revenge for a commission vote in July involving the USS Missouri. The commission's vote urged the supervisors to include in a homo-porting agreement with the Navy a rerpiirement that the Navy not dis school.

Wash ington Square Bar Grill softball team so he could play at Yankee Stadium. "Just one time at bat," Carrillo said. "They were might drop dead. But I really wanted to play at Yankee Stadium;" The All-America Conference, a professional football league, that In-' eluded the San Francisco 49ers, was formed after World War IgCajrillo-and a pal went to Brooklyn in 1948! for a tryout with the Dodgers foot-J hall team.

Carrillo and his friend didn't make the team. i "I came home and my (fad asked' what I was going to Carrillo said. "I said I wasn't sure. He had a jewelry shop at 177 Post St He 'You're good with your hands. Why don't you try Carrillo's dad had been 4 Jeweler for 55 years when he died in 1969.

Both his sons Frank Jr: and Carlos became designers and mak-' ers of jewelry. Carrillo's son, Frank HI, now works at Shreve's, here his grandfather first went to work 73 years ago. Frank Carrillo looked' out the window of his 12th floor shop in the Brooks Brothers Building." "I'm looking at the building where my dad went to work as a kid," Carrillo said. "He started as an errand boy and then he became an apprentice. He used to stand next to I the jeweler, polish his tools, clean up his filings.

He loved the fcork.all his life." jeweler. I was going to say a finished Jeweler, but I'm not finished yet." Carrillo is know as a marvelous craftsman, creator of lovely, unusual pieces. lie Is a man of wit and imagination, and his work reflects this. Hud Collier, 53, a diamond setter for 25 years, has shared a Post Street shop with Carrillo for seven years, "He's good," Collier said of Carrillo, "and you can't say that about most of 'em. No shortcuts with Frank.

He takes his time and he does the job right." Carrillo's friends and customers grow weary of the time it sometimes takes him to do something. Carrillo Just shrugs. "I could have made a lot more money if my standards weren't so high," he said. "I want a piece as perfect as I can make it. "What annoys me is a lot of people don't seem to know the difference or care.

"There aren't many people ho make finished jewelry by hand anymore." The incongruities begin with Carrillo's large and strong hands. "People think of jewelers as artistic," Carrillo said. "It's tough for people I meet around town to picture me working with small tools because of my hand size. But it's never bothered me, never been a problem. I've always had good dexterity." And then there was his athletic background, beginning in high foived out when the new mayor takes office in January, some ould bo irtually untouchahlo until thoir torms aro completed.

They went hefore the hoard's Rules Committee this week. MAYOR From B-1 answer how he intended to pay for the programs. Agnos said the hook was not intended to be his first year budget. He said it was only an "outline of ideas" he had in mind for his administration. Molinari's attack on Agnos' book OAKLAND From B-1 Isaacson, said, "The opening of this street signifies the continuing momentum of City Center.

This is indeed a special day." The three-story center, topped hy a spectacular dome, will contain M.OUO square feet of retail space and square feet of office space, said the city's director of economic development, Georce Williams. Eleven retail and office leases have already been signed, Williams said. Another national chain. Daisy's women's store, had dresses in display windows Thursday and will oen soon. After the economic hoopla, Wilson turned his attention to the city's troubled neighborhoods, saying he would "go to the people" to ask them what they wanted in his efforts to encourage participation in the World Health Organization's "Healthy City" program.

Wilson, citing everything from good weather to the city's integrated environment and leading port, said goes hand in hand with his new television and radio commercials. Molinari softened his stand on the Agnos plans after the debate. "I don't want to insinuate that I don't support some of these," he said. "I just want to know how he's going to pay for them." Tin' Agnos campaign has in-sMod the proposals would not cost taxpayers anything. Oakland is the first city in the nation to participate actively in the pro-gram, hu began 1 years ago and has spread ac ross the globe to more than BO cities.

Dr. Leonard .1. Duhl. a professor of public health and city planning at I C-Herkeley, will help Wilson coordinate the program, which encourages the public to develop healthy environments and lifestyles. Examples are cooperation among schools, the city and civic groups to promote health education and forums of health-related organizations to discuss solutions.

"It's time that we tried to find some new and different ways (to fiuht drugs and urban violencei," Wilson said. "We've got to become innovative. "I intend to go into the community. I intend to develop a project where go to the people and get their ideas," Wilson said. Duhl, who works as a consultant to the healthy city program for the World Health Organization, said it was his idea to get Oakland involved.

"I think we can sell this in the neighborhoods." Wilson said. "We're serious about what we're doing." THANKSGIVING rU5 Our million dollar inventory offers you the perfect choice in an However, in interviews following the debate, Agnos acknowledged that hiring new police officers would "obviously" cost more money. Agnos unveiled a fiscal challenge of his own when he took a swipe at Molinari's record. Tw years ago, he said, Molinari voted to raise The City's business and payroll taxes to help offset a projected jsiS million deficit. This year, with a similar deficit looming, Molinari has called for reducing the tax.

Molinari and Agnos also differed on how to handle the demolition of single-family homes in order to make way for larger multiunit housing. Agnos reiterated his support for HOUSING From B-1 of Prop. T. Proponents of the project included activists ho usually appear before the commission to oppose development. Calvin Welch, who served on Mayor Feinstein's committee planning the housing, praised the Poly High development as the first 100 percent affordable project to emerge from the mayor's housing office "an extraordinary work that has been 10 years in the making," he said.

Neither Guichard nor Dr. Alfred J. Rider, another longtime opponent, testified at the hearing. However, neighbors presented numerous objections. 4 Several silk and wool 4Xff Persian Nains.

He said the moratorium would provide "breathing room" to allow The City to beef up zoning inspections and develop individual neighborhood building plans.

Molinari said he opposed a city-wide ban and said the problem should be addressed by "block-by-block" zoning controls. They also differed on whether The City should impose rent controls on vacated apartments. Agnos said he favored some type vacancy control but only if it ensured that property owners would get a decent return on their investments. Molinari said he opposed vacancy controls.
