said Andrea Youngdahl director of Human Services for the city of Oakland we want to delay any longer The shelter is a collaborative And those were just the un usual mishaps Jim Hawkins owner of Valley Cabinet and Counters has been working nonstop for nearly a month to get the building ready A NEW BOOK by Mitchell' Schwarzer tells the story of San rancisco Bay Area architecture including the historic Golden Gate Bridge plus taxes and fees myfaves is a nationwide plan requiring new activation and minimum 1 year agreement maximum of three lines each family member's aves limited to five US phone numbers Nonabrasive scrubbers are supposed to be used to reduce the potential of scraping metals into the water But Llchten wrote "the brushes were sort of plastic or rubber coated steel and when the rubber wore off the steel turned into a sort of Brillo pad kind of thing" When a Victory ship was cleaned in Richmond in August sheets' of decayed metals paint and hull coatings more than one third of an Inch thick peeled off the sweeping in scope following the signing into law by President Eisenhower of the ederal Aid Highway Act "or the first time citizens saw the historic city fabric as an environment worth fighting fpr says the author Throughout the Bay Area freeway plans were scaled back In Berkeley for in 1 stance a citizen's revolt stopped Highway 13 from boring down Ashby Avenue to connect with Interstate 80 Not every freeway proposal was blocked however state 580 was rammed through Oakland's foothills during the 1960s" and the infamous Grove Shafter connector (Highway 24) bisected North Temescal and Rock ridge neighborhoods despite strong community protest Schwarzer also describes how BART the massive rapid transit engineering project ap proved by voters in 1962 trans formed the region and had some negative as well as positive impacts particularly to down town Oakland and West Oak land The author does not ignore California College of the Arts campuses (both its historic Oak land location on Broadway and its San rancisco headquarters in the former Greyhound Bus Company Building (1951) 1111 Eighth St) The college will be celebrating its centennial starting in 2007 it struggles with an already expired con gressional deadline to dispose of obsolete vessels Under the current Coast Guard order each of those ships would have to be cleaned a process unlikely to involve dry docking because the vessels are so old they could be damaged in the process Instead divers now clean the ships with scrubbers It is that process known as that concerns environ hull materials can come off with the ma i rine growth and stay in the water 'if fhe Bay have become the second largest metropolis on the Pacific Coast of North America Yet the Bay Area built overnight due in part to the dif ficulty of reaching the region from the East Coast as well as Europe either took an eight month sea voyage around Cape Horn (which could be slightly shortened by adding a land Journey through the Panama Isthmus) or an equally lengthy and arduous land Crossing over the great plains and the formidable snow wall of the Sierra Nevada Mountains" writes Schwarzer But completion of the trans continental railroad in 1869 meant the journey here could be completed in a little over a week ending isolation with the advent of the Lincoln Highway in 1919 the In terstate Highway system in the 1950s and Jet airplanes in the 1960s California became a cen tral part of global routes of trade tourism and migration" Schwarzer traces the East Bay's early development through the routes taken by that first transcontinental railroad line from the Central Valley through Jameson Canyon (west of present day airfield) to the Carquinez Straits from which point ferries took passengers and goods to San rancisco and the direct land route to Oakland over the Altamont Pass and the Sunol Grade 7th Street in down town Oakland is where the final leg of the continent spanning rail transportation link was laid out A small depot building from that era still stands as do the nearby restored landmark structures making up the Old Oakland Historic District which constitute "one of the finest blocks of Victorian commercial buildings on the West the author says The easy to follow maps pinpoint various note worthy landmarks both historic and contemporary such as the Italianate villa Pardee House 1868) Oakland's City Hall (1911 14) and the giant Port of Oakland shipping Cranes (1988) Also included in the guide is an examination of the birth of various neighborhood organiza

transitional housing program at the Henry Rob inson Service Center in down town Oakland Youngdahl said although the shelter perfect it's amazing what has been accomplished in a few short weeks given all the unexpected problems or example the old wooden warehouse needed to be out fitted with sprinklers and be cause the program is only using half the space the sprinklers ini tially were going to be installed there only That was until the fire Inspector informed other wise Then an additional $35000 needed to go into out fitting the rest of the building Then there was the problem withthe industrial sized heaters which were shipped cross country Some arrived damaged and had to be reor dered Although an electrician is wiring the building Hawkins and his son are installing the overhead lights put up wooden partitions between the men's and sleeping areas and the dining room set up beds erected gates signs ramps and fencing run water lines so the showers work and a myriad of other things His son nail gunned his finger and hacl to get a tetanus shot And still an office to build he said Youngdahl credited ANKA with coordinating the construc tion Although work on the building is not complete the or ganization got an emergency oc cupancy permit Monday and by that night 58 people had moved in and received their first hot meal in their winter home are working It out not perfect
