with the providers in the richmond. we really want to be a presence at all of those events and those organizations. and just to go back remember i was saying how young the station is that's the picture in my head. we have an online presence. we have the second most twitter followers of any station we have to try harder 4 hundred and 62 followers as a few minutes going ago we're on feedback and we have a few print customers that don't have e-mail so we mail out the newsletter we on the richmond district blog and i do a monthly blog in the richmond review. one of the projects that started under my predecessor and actually now gone department-wide is looking at the emergency response plans in the schools phase one and rolling it out to other institutions that maybe potentially targets we're looking at say an active shoortd in an school there's 25 schools in the district we want to preplan our response it is if it were to happen it would be a chaotic event and a lot of confusion so as much as we can do to prepare ourselves.

there's a quickly quick overview of the crimes in san francisco and leave the details in the richmond 40 in the efforts of the captain silverman as we get to the half hour part of the year crimes is down 13 percent one of the biggest thanks there we're at a thirty plus year record low for homicides we've had two homicides two many 12 homicides one was a homicide that resulted in an injury that happened in 2012, the person passed this year they count against 2014 to put that both perspective in 2008, there were 49 homicides in 90 san francisco. so a lot in roads and partnerships and help from others agencies. certainly mayor brown's jobs program engaging young people on the people that work on p this panel helping us to keep it safer summers hopefully not going back to the years where we lost young people. property crime is up one percent driven by automobile theft and burglary i'll ask folks out in the richmond's especially long fulton along the park we xorng x experiencing audible i autobiography burglaries windows smashes are the most common form of autobiography burglaries and elec

and i'm here with the program manager for the richmond neighborhood center and in support of the food neighborhood. in this budget time we hope you'll share our sentiments with regards to the importance of funding a grocery delivery program for our district home bound residents. the issue of food security and social isolation is real in our city. the richmond district movement center requested $30,000 in order coordinate and track those. in addition the richmond senior center asked $30,000 to train those and to provide social services and referrals to seniors what has additional needs. we appreciate your support and understanding the value and the goals of the food security network. >> thank you. >> my name is linda. i'm the director of the richmond senior senior and i'm here with bring friend senior. we have a collaboration going on which i'm very excited about. sarah is far away from being a senior. i'm really close and we've been working on this program for nine months with a lot of energy. there's 4,000 seniors that live alone. there's a lot of those folk who's have no eyes on the

but chp issued their own high wind advisory for the richmond/san rafael bridge. that's a live look at the toll plaza. tow crews are on the scene of the accident northbound 280 approaching alemany boulevard. actually past the alemany boulevard exits. there are injuries. there was a small oil spill with it. they hoped to clear it by 6:15. right now we are seeing minor delays. so once the tow crews get all the cars hooked up they can clear it but in the meantime, expect heavier traffic right now coming into san francisco. westbound 580 very heavy continuing slow and go from the altamont pass into pleasanton. that's your latest "kcbs traffic." another check of your forecast on this wednesday morning, here's lawrence. >>> yes, that much-needed sea breeze kicking in around the bay area helping to cool down the temperatures outside and also bringing some low clouds and fog. that is beginning to fill in around the bay right now and along the coastline of course going to see more of that in the coming days. temperatures will be dropping off still comfortable into the after

also tomorrow i'll be hosting a transportation town hall meeting in the richmond district, it's part of the mta's efforts around the city to promote our transportation or t-2030 recommendation. and over the past year in the richmond district, i'm proud that we've implemented a transit first agenda from establishing a 5 fulton limited line to advancing the geary rapid timeline from 2020 to 2018. more info is available at go geary.com. new painted lanes for the 38 geary line and the events improve arguello boulevard, one of the vast corridors that can [speaker not understood] with golden gate park. it's also one of the key bicycle corridors in our city. t-2030 is really important and for all this work to continue i think supporting transportation 2030 recommendation are critical. and i urge all of us and the mayor not to back down from restoring the vehicle license fee or vlf to pre-governor schwarzenegger level. we have too much work to do and we need the funding to accomplish it. i'm prepared to go to bat this november like i know many of us are for this funding. and our town hall in

sense during the daytime that richmond is not what people said about it in the past. but i also got that sense that you often get in urban america when the lights go down. that is, in the evening hours, that this is still a place where people clutch their purses and do the quick step back home. richmond is a safer city today but it's still a very dangerous place, joie. >> and i notice they were reluctant these young men to even after their experiences together to call each other friend. why is that? >> that was one of the most, i think, extraordinary moments in all the shooting we did there. i think that what you're seeing, when you hear those men talk like that, is you are -- you're seeing the strong bonds that they have with the friends in their particular neighborhoods. again, neighborhoods that are born out of a sense of tension and violence. they know that in order to survive in those neighborhoods, in order to thrive, they have to maintain those bonds. so they can't be seen fraternizing if you will with the rival you know gang members. there is this sense when y

said the east was everything. richmond, as a target, not only had military value, but it had symbolic political value. it was a notion which, by the way, would have been betrayed by anyone studying military history, that if you captured the opponent's capital, you want. we know that is not true. the american revolution shows that. what still, if you capture richmond, the war will be over, no matter what else may have .een logistically, a problem, given the resources provided by the shenandoah valley. it's ironworks, its manpower -- the confederacy augmented its military manpower when virginia seceded in 1861. slaveo augmented its population. people forget the second largest export in the commonwealth of virginia in 1860 were enslaved human beings. you are adding 400,000 people who are enslaved to your workforce, your co-worst, it involuntary workforce, but a valuable one if you are waging war. topographically, virginia poses problems, although it also offers opportunities. you are familiar with the east-west network of riv

he nearly gave the keys to richmond. i think they saw the same thing happen. war, the beginning of the both the union and confederacy were able to wage war. was focused onee the relentless attack in 1864. in 1863, he'd already tried to push into the north with gettysburg. he obviously -- i won't say squandered -- he gave up a lot of resources in that attack, in that advance earlier before lincoln's election. perhaps if he had waited until 1864 to carry on that sort of push into the north with this kind of strategy, would he have had more of a chance? >> good question. he rate into the north -- raid into the north had to be set up on those victories. it, those moments and opportunities -- who knows when they will present themselves again. to look at the spring of 1863 is a chance to bring the war and to the north, that is something that these forces had to come together and he understood he was not controlling the war as a joystick. here is the moment that he seized upon. terms of awork in military campaign study is joseph harsh. you can look him up on amazon.

and the commission will meet in the richmond district at procidio mission school, in san francisco on wednesday, june 25th at 6:00 p.m. to hear the comments from the public and richmond station captain simon silverman concerning public issues in the richmond district. >> thank you and for scheduling purposes, i am going to ask, how are we doing on the first amendment issue and social media, are we getting close? >> yes. >> you think that we are in september, maybe? >> okay. >> and then with reference to actually, my thoughts were triggered by director hick's comments regarding the cameras. is that what you were going to speak about. >> i think that all of the commissioners are interested and the chief is working on that, where are we at with reference to our officers being equipped with cameras? >> yeah, this and so the pilot is just about ready to go and we got through the contractual issues, and now we are just finalizing the policy with the poa. >> so there is a commission is there a projected? >> i will say that certainly within the next six weeks. >> okay, great. >> certainly. >>
