By Uw, grand Juries are composed of volunteers who are nominated for service by Judges of the Superior Court In Alameda County, each Judge puts forth two noin-' inees. The 19 members of this years panel were then chosen at a drawing conducted by county Clerk Rene Davidson. Like other recent grand juries, this years panel is made up of jurors relatively more diverse in occupation and background than the grand juries of a decade ago, which tended to be made up mostly of retired white people. In addltlon to Silliman the-1981-82-panel includes Bella Meese of Pleasanton, sister-in-law of presidential aide Edwin Meese III; Libby Dyson, active with the Oakland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; William Vandenburgh, a dean at the California State University, Hayward and Alba Witkin of Berkeley, wife of legal scholar Beraard-Wltkin. The new panel meets on Tuesdays and Thurdays.

It has divided itself into committees study various aspects" of local government The. group has made get acquainted tours of the county courthouse, juvenile hall and Fairmont Hospital, according to Silliman. The jurors plan to tour two oft-criticized county, facilities the Santa Rita County Jail at Pleasanton, and Highland County Hospital in Oakland later this summer, Silliman says. The panel Includes ll women, three blacks and one Asian among its 19 members. In addition to Silliman, the hcrid-over grand Jurors are Witkin, Meese and Mary C.

Carter of Fremont The remaining grand jurors are: from Oakland, Romalne Czarich, Charlene Daigre, Leo Freschi, Anita Palermo, Marvin R. Smith; from Berkeley, Margaret S. Grosse; from Alameda, Carmen Lasar, from San Leandro, W. King Leach and Daniel Marshall; from Fremont Daniel Bigbee, Jacqueline Sheppard, and Ayako Tamura; from Castro Valley, James E. Wilburn.

Four veterans are helping Alameda Countys new grand Jury move fast with task of inquiring into the workings of tocaL government, the panel's new fore-. man says. George Silliman, a former mayor of 'NewSHf and former director of the Bay "ATttk'ftapid Transit District, says the t98MY, grand Jury has gotten into the rbiuhe of working together really quick ly he6ause four present grand Jurors also served cm the 1980-81 panel. lASt year it took us several months just, jo settle down and get acquainted, who was foreman pro tem jtLtEe 19.80-81 panel Werereally using carry-over grand Jurors to keep up the continuity.

Wilson and Mayor Cui Yong-han of Dalian will formally sign documents establishing ties between the cities in the trip. An invitation for a return trip will also be extended to Chinese officials to visit Oakland in the future.

Tim Washburn, a board direc-' tor for the society, says a major objective of the visit will ha to establish lines of communication between Dalian and Oakland. Is very important function of the trip. We want to describe to them how our (friendship) committee works. We wsnt than to know that if they want to contact an institution, company or group in Oakland or anywhere In this country, we are here to help, he said. Of all the American cities with sister city tier in China, he said LOuis and Nanjing have progressed the furthest, having exchanged official delegations and arranged for an American piano recital in China.

The Chinese will pay -for all costs of the seven-member dele- gation while In China. The air fare and per diem expenses outside of China for Wil-' son and Eng will be covered respectively by the city and the Port of Oakland. All other mem: hers of the. group will pay for their own expenses. Edwin Meese III, counselor to President Reagan, will be the guest speaker at a Aug.

Police charge crash driver with felony FREMONT A Castro Valley man was charged Sunday with the felony of driving under the influence of alcohol, after an accident on Highway 17 caused se- rious injuries to another man.

According to the Calfornia Highway Patrol, Michael Christ of Fremont was driving 50 to 55 miles an hour in the slow lane of -Highway 17 south of Durham Road at 5:40 a.m. Sunday. Bruce Borba of Castro Valley was driving 75 to 80 miles an hour when he rear-ended Christ's Ford Pinto, the CHP said. The impact caused. Christ's car to slam against the center divider, then roll over several, times.

Christ was ejected during the accident, and suffered multiple fractures of his ribs. Christ, 20, is listed in critical condition of the intensive care unit of Washington Hospital in Fremont Budget cuts are forcing Project Concerhdo fold By-Di avMTi WIMr Oakland Mayor Lionel J. Wilson will head a seven-member delegation next month on a 11-. day visit to the Peoples Republic of China to formally establish sister city ties with the port of Dalian. The delegation, members of the newly formed Oakland-Dali-an Friendship City Society will visit the cities of Beijing, Dalian, Shanghai and Guanzhou from Sept 15 to 25.

The. group Eng, commissioner of the Port of Oakland; Raymond Eng, City Council member, Henry Chang, board director for the friendship society; Harold V. Lauth, director of corporate affairs for Kai-. ser Engineers John P. Mac-Meekan; and Leila White, Oakland director of library services.

The spouses of the mayor and' five other delegates are also going on the trip, along with Kathleen Ouye, director of youth services for the Oakland Public Library. The trip culminates an effort, that began in 1978 to establish a sister city relationship between Oakland and 8 city in China. The Sister Cities International Srogram was established after to help develop dbm-munication networks between cities in the world. A principal of the program has been to increase international under-' standing and foster world peace through a variety of social, cultural and technical exchanges. Over the years, Oakland has established sister city ties with Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana Fukuoka, Japan; Funchal in Portugal's Madeira Islands; and Nakhodka, a Russian port.

Other U.S. cities with sister city ties in China include Sah Francisco-Shanghai; St. Louis-Nanjing; New York-Beijing; and Philadelphia-Tianjin. 'Dalian, formerly known as Dairen, lies on the southern tip of Liaodong Peninsula in Northeast China. Once occupied by Russia and Japan, the city of more than a million residents has1 developed into me of Chinas leading ports with a deep, ice-free harbor.

It is also a leading shipbuilding center the country and a center for "machine manufacturing. Members of the Oakland-Dali-an friendship society point to similarities between the two cities: both are major railroad terminal points, port cities and cen- modular residential Kabakov said, because it allows such structures on residential lots, provided that local esthetic standards are complied with. We're working on it were capable of handling any challenge anywhere in the United States, Kabakov said. Patio hones have little or no side yards. Centex initially designed the houses, which will have two or three bedrooms, to range from 1,400 to 1,700 square feet But it has reduced most of them to between 1,100 and 1,400, -Said Collins.

Snyder said the homes will be sold for $90,000 to $110,000 apiece. He also said approximately The left leg is Immobilized in plaster and will remain way for several weeks until the cut bones knit together, Parry said. After that will come the long, slow process of rehabilitation. If this had happened a few years ago, the doctor said, it would have been thought impossible to restore the legs.

ing anybody if were giving extensions for something that may never come about and thereby deprive another area of needed housing. Roger Clay, the board's attorney, said the new extension doesnt hurt us and it may help the project I dont think we see any reason to terminate the commitment, which was to have expired at the end of this month. El Cerrito Mayor James E. Allen Jr. had requested an extension, saying it would give a little leeway in working out problems preventing development of the project on a city-owned park inars or.

on the street each month, Woodard said. The majority of them are alcoholics; others have drug problems. Much of time Woodard and' Sims spend working is on the street, trying to convince alcoholics of the diseases. severity. Woodard urges alcoholics to enroll in a recovery (detoxification) program at a local hospital.

If they agree, the program makes the arrangements and also provides immediate transporta- -lion to the hospital. Woodard believes that programs such as Project Concern are not costly in the long run. Rather than have someone go through the criminal Justice system, he said, we try to get them into recovery programs." Initially, Project Concern was funded for about $18,000 to open its doors in May of 1980. The grant was for nine months but the program received an extension and about $5,000 to stay open until the end of this month. Projert Concern was dropped completely along with some other programs when the City Coiuk cil last month voted to cut its budget to community-based social service agenices by 65 percent Last week, the council agreed to fund the existing agencies $450,000 for six months.

Last year, the full complement of agencies received more than $1 million. The only hope for additional funding -for the existing programs hinges on a proposed municipal assessment tax. Should the City Council decide to place the ballot measure before voters, and voters approve it an additional $5 million could be raised for the. citys general Such a ballot measure could not be up for a vote until next year, however. extension trative guidelines containing conditions under which you would no longer have to go through the Legislature to change the use of property developed with state park bond money.

Such conditions, said Allen, could allow a local agency, to change the use if the park bond money it received was less than 10 percent or 20 percent of the total assessed value of the prop-1 erty, as is the case with the controversial parking lot -His intent is to unhamstring cities and to restore local control, he said. Allen is president of the Eastbay division 'the League of California Cities and said he will seek the divisions endorsement of his proposal Thursday; Madden said Neighborhood House owes about $200,000 to creditors, including $126,000 to the Internal Revenue Service. He said the IRS has been working very closely with me and is allowing me to liquidate the real property owned by the agency to retire that debt Most other creditors have signed agreements with Neighborhood House, calling for the agency to make monthly payments to them, Madden said.

Senate Bill 1960, which became effective on July 1, is expected to give a further boost to homes it plans to build north of Highway 4 and east of Interstate 80, cutting its costs by an average of $12,500 per unit, said City Councilman Chuck Collins. That development has been in abeyance for months because of adverse economic conditions in the housing market, he said, but Centex now plans to begin building model homes this summer. ber to regain use of his left leg are reasonably good. Right now. Parry said, Weber is in relatively good condition, awake and alert, and was visited by his family Sunday.
