recreation and aging, they have buses to pick up senior citizens to take them to the center for meals on wheels. and the counties have large buses for ems, so there are ways to transport people here. our county is very prepared for something like this. and they have been contacting folks like this regarding district two buses, but there are probably 30 buses there now. >> 30 buses. paul, you said you were on the scene 15 minutes after this happened, and we are still looking at live photos here of the accident scene, which you said you're about 100 yards out. you've been there for a few hours now, can you give us a timeline and timeframe of when this started to where we are now? >> well, about 2:30 it came in. and immediately we got people here. south connery station called the battalion chief, and she was here quickly. she began to report what was going on, they set up operations channels and went into rescue mode. they began to treat the most injured and sorted through that. we had ems supervisors here very quickly to sort and triage the most injured patients. then as they got the most injured patients away by ambulance, and the ambulances were leaving with their lig

terrorized by the fact that their classmate, kids their age in this school, in the next classroom, at least 14 of them were injured and have been transported to area hospitals. and as i said, we have two reports of a number of fatalities. how does a school begin to heal from the trauma of being terrorized in that manner? >> the new normal, the idea of having systems in place to very quickly move counseling capabilities into the school. even the idea of when they have an evacuation like this, where is the area where the parents are instructed to go so they can reconnect with their kids? it is really a reeducation of the whole population about how to deal with this type of issue because it is occurring with such frequency, and for each one you try to learn the idea of the random nature. local police are getting more adept at is watching social media to see if somebody in their environment, in one of their schools, in one of their communities, posting that's giving an early warning that something might be going on. there's so much to learn from these. there is so much more that can be done to prevent, but you can't prevent it all unfortunatel

age y doubles. you know, what are your options for playing tennis other than weekends? you get into your cars or on your bike or whatever, public transportationross the city and all four of you meet there and you just cross your fingers and hope that nobody is playing. often times there is someone playing, there is people waiting. then you decide, okay, are we going to wait two hours and stand here or try to go somewhere else? then you all get in cars or on your bike and go somewhere else and hope the same situation doesn't await you. this will help you know for sure you will be able to play. you can make a reservation and play after work. it will increase access phenomenally. for people who play tennis and can't afford the private clubs and need to work for a living that is a reason to support the project. i hope you agree. >> kay, lois, david, trish. >> i am kay christianson. i support the project in the park. i think it is an incredible gift to the city. as it stands now some of the courts are barely playable. they have big cracks. some have net posts that rusted out. there are no nets. i have played from for over 40 years. i would love to

age rather than building garages to howuse car. union street, there's an amazing transit corridor right there. it would be more important to have a curb side access to paratransit, can actually transport you to different places. classic accommodations seem to be missing in these plans, so i'm uncertain as to what this is truly about. again, always skeptical when a certain developer, serial evictor has been in play over time. in addition to this, there is permit for short-term rentals, so is -- are some of these things, these renovations, the addition of garages done for ageing in place or are they done to enhance the property for tourism? i think those are important questions. those are certainly concerns, and so i ask you to help support this group in terms of this dr, that garages should not be built, should not affect this community in such a negative way. thank you very much. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, commissioners. kathleen courtney for the russian hill community association. these are a defining element in the san francisco landscape, particularly in the northeast quadrant of the city: russian hill, nob hill, north beech. aladdin tier

transport is investing to cut congestion. the british—born actorjohn mahoney, who played one of tv's most popular on—screen dads, has died in chicago agedth england. it's latest research found that vaping is much safer than smoking tobacco. the harms of smoking are well known. it causes over 200 deaths a year and shortens your life expectancy by an average of 10 years. it's an expensive habit too, smoking 20 cigarettes a day costs around £3,000 a year. in a report published this morning, public health england says using electronic cigarettes causes 95% less harm than smoking tobacco. the latest figures show that 3 million people in the uk use them regularly. the report's author, professor ann mcneill, joins us from london, and with us here is gp, dr fari ahmad. in the thank you forjoining us this morning. can you explain, a lot of people have been in touch with us to say, is vaping not bad for you, then? i understand that. there is confusion about it. vaping is better than smoking, because when you are smoking, you are smoking in a lot of nasty is. it is certainly better than smoking a cigarette, but i would consider it asa a cigarette,

ag gets forced in. no matter who is in offers, trying to apply a one-size-fits-all approach. in our situation we handle live animals and transportation regulations hat have the been put forward, while it's important to have safe trucks and things on the road, they don't always apply to us. they could actually put those animals at risk. so we have some livestock concerns there one of the other big thing is is there's a lot of growth overseas and demand on our industries and in order to meet that demand, we need access to credit. not just through the farm credit system and through the private financial sector in order to expand and to be able to hire more people to develop our operations operations. we need that access, unfortunately, dodd-frank, while it was well intended, it was supposed to go after the bad actors and unfortunately it's led to closure of many rural banks that finances a lot of operations. so now you have banks in more urban areas who don't understand the rural needs, and then those are pretty much the only people we have to go with. so, while there's always good intentions for regulations or policy, but unfortunately

aging infrastructure. to do that, we need a robust, fiscally responsible infrastructure plan that makes it easier to start and to finish these projects more quickly. now, i was chairman of the transportation committee in the wyoming state senate. i saw how we could make projects less costly and more efficient if we could just speed up and streamline the permit process and the approval process for the projects to get done. madam president, we have a project back home to rebuild a highway interchange in the northern part of sheridan county in sheridan, wyoming. it took 14 years to develop to get the approval and planning and permitting for this interchange that needed to be built for safety purposes. the actual construction, less than two years. this is a safety project. it's important for trucks and cars that go through this part of our state to do it in the safest way possible. anything that we can do as members of the e.p.w. committee and as members of the senate to make sure that we can finish projects like this one faster is going to be better for our communities. it's going to be better for people's safety. now, according to the bipartisan policy center, there are 59 different reviews
