11:31 am
>> ♪ . >> next speaker please. >> good morning, my name is glora simiyoa and i am the coordinator at the new center and i just want to say that it is the best thing for children like our captain said in the past, we were at the basement of the general hospital, which was a great location, but this is much better, and it is new, and it is clean, the families we have already interviewed
11:32 am
close to 100 children at the new center, and they are all impressed and the children, come in, and their eyes open, and they see all of the new furniture, and the new toys, and they go into the new lovely interview rooms. and the staff, are really happy, and it moves us together and it is just, if we feel taken care of. and so, it gives us energy to take care of the children that need our help. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> and anybody else wish to comment on this, item? >> good morning, thank you, and i am linda moore and i am an assistant district attorney for the city and county of san francisco, and i do the child abuse cases for many years and i am also a member of the board of the san francisco child abuse prevention center and i am here to ask you to pass the legislation that will allow the sublease for the children's advocacy center and as you have heard, it is an amazing place, designed to bring together
11:33 am
everybody in one spot. and there is also a design to be truly child friendly, and truly welcoming and non-intimidating in a way that the basement of the san francisco general hospital, are going to be. and the da's office, is involved in the child advocacy center as interviews and advocates for the victims in this, and as the prosecutors of any cases that we can bring that come out of those interviews. and the district attorney office has been involved from the beginning, in the planning and the development of the child advocacy center, and from the time that it was really nothing but a pipe dream that we talked about after the interviews of the basement of general, and it has come about because of the san francisco child abuse center, and they have provided what finally brought about, the child advocacy center. the children who have been the victims of sexual or physical assault are often profoundly
11:34 am
traumatized and without help they will not heal and this center allows that to happen, and it allows them to come to one place, and tell their story once, to a trained transit nurse, such as glory who you just heard from, not have to tell it again to the cps and then to the police and again to the doctor. and if they need medical help, they can see the doctor there, in that building, instead of having to be transported with their family to general, to an er that may be kie chaotic and scary to a child and they can see the kher pift there and they can see the victim advocate there, and who can set them up with services and make sure that the family is cared for as well as the child. it not only vastly improves the lives of the children who come through it and the chances of complete healing but it improves the ability to develop evidence, that will allow us to prosecute those who perpetrate these crimes on the children
11:35 am

i would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music) >> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage.
11:44 am
we are capable of conveying joy when we play. msk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift.
11:45 am
msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time.
11:46 am
i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are.adjourne.
