Update #2:  24 May 14 (additions to accumulated data sources)

REISSUE OF BULLETIN

This bulletin supersedes (or supplements) 

the original bulletins, submerged below this one

1.  Purposes of this Re-issued Bulletin

• To report that the SpotCrime.com site will REGULARLY receive data from the Pittsburg Police Department and will present it on the site, as received. So residents might do well to adopt a regular site-visit routine
• To provide some reassuring information about the website, itself -- and how it handles the data.
• To provide a random accumulation of additional relevant data sources

Here is the link:  SPOTCRIME.COM

REMEMBER == This Website is NATIONAL In Scope!

2.  Discussion

a.  This afternoon, I received a phone call from Mr. Colin Drane, the site's founder, informing me that he talked with the Chief of Police for Pittsburg, Chief Addington.  He was delighted to say that the Chief has promptly arranged to send updates to SpotCrime, every week. And the Pittsburg data has been updated, ALREADY! (just visit the site).  The Chief deserves our thanks for this excellent support.

b.  Mr. Drane has done us a great service.  His careful follow-up has enabled the Chief to easily pass the information forward and has given us an easy way to get at it. I've had the privilege of talking, at length, with Colin and have come to appreciate his sincere and firm desire to help make this a better world -- and he's succeeding, brilliantly.  His friendliness, reliability, and unbelievably prompt and in-depth responsiveness -- plus the quality of his website -- literally blows my mind.  A wonderful resource has just fallen into our lap.

c.  Finally, Colin advises that the data does report "initial calls."  Therefore, a "911" call for, say, "gunshots heard," which turns out to have been a backfiring car -- is still reported in the data.  So, I think that suggests that we should allow for a bit of inflation.

3.  Other New information in this re-issue.  

I retained the earlier bulletin and updates, below this reissue, for historical purposes. I'm still figuring out the best way to administer the blog and I think this will do, for now.  

In addition, I include the following accumulation of relevant resources, to assist you and as an aid in related Civic Mentor system-building activities.

EARLIER SUPERSEDED BULLETIN AND UPDATES

UPDATE #2:  19 May 14

Received first email alert, for Pittsburg,CA.  It does contain crime data for Pittsburg.  Sign-up for the free alerts.

UPDATE #1:  18 May 14

As promised, I contacted the hard-working producers of the below website and received an immediate response.  My questions concerned the lack of information for Pittsburg, CA.  The amazingly prompt answer (at the bottom of this bulletin) is very helpful, locally, and probably, for the rest of the nation encountering the same issues.

******

Original Bulletin

Purpose

To inform readers of an easy way to get crime statistics for their specific locality, nationwide. (Still evaluating the site.)

Here is the link:  SPOTCRIME.COM

Discussion

I discovered this site, this morning.  I looked up data for my home area.  That produced an unexpected result.  Instead of telling me what I wanted, it told me about the next adjacent city.

I also noted that the statistics don't seem to be in real time -- it gave me reports as of 5/11/14.  Just saying ... since it would be unreasonable to expect real-time information.

In fairness, it may be that no one has reported to them for Pittsburg -- and they were just giving me the closest thing they had.   It may be that it is fed its data from local voluntary reports. (?)  I have written to them, to open a discussion, and will adjust this bulletin, accordingly.

That being said, it does give a sense of the surroundings.  As I develop the subsystems related to this topic, I will give you a comprehensive collection of sites and, hopefully, an analysis of their relative quality.

I did sign up for their email alert service.

I also checked --  AND THEY SEEM TO BE A NATIONAL SERVICE (all the States are there, but I didn't open each one to check, explicitly) -- up on the left-hand end of the maroon-colored horizontal menu bar is a button "Browse crime by state."

Please advise us (in the comment space, below) if you experience more interesting things about the site.

Spotcrime.com's 5/17/14 Answer to my Inquiry

David,

Thanks for your email and your call.

We reached out to the Pittsburg CA police back in 2009.  I see that the chief responded to our correspondence, but I don't see a response to our request for information.  It may have been a lack of follow up on our part.

From a quick view of the police website, it does not look like the data is published in an open format.   I do see that the paper is getting some blotter information.  We will reach out to the police department next week and ask for similar information, and hopefully start mapping the data shortly thereafter.

Please reach out to your department and ask them to share crime data with us.  We map for free.  We are the most visited crime mapping website in the US and have apps for both Android and the iPhone.

Requests from local citizens can be helpful.

Sincerely,

Colin Drane

PRESS RELEASE

Appointment of New Superintendent

The Pittsburg Unified School District Board of Trustees is delighted to announce that a finalist for the position of Superintendent of Pittsburg Unified School District has been identified and final negotiations for a contract are in progress. It is anticipated that ratification of the appointment of Dr. Janet Schulze as the district's next superintendent will occur on June 4, 2014, at a regular meeting of the Board of Education.
Dr. Schulze is currently the Assistant Superintendent of High Schools for the San Francisco Unified School District, where she leads the implementation of the district's equity focused strategic plan across the district's 20 comprehensive, alternative, court and county high schools. A native of Wisconsin, Janet began her teaching career in El Paso, Texas as a 7th grade English and Reading teacher. She has been a Student Activities Director and Assistant Principal in El Paso and a High School Principal in San Francisco. In all of her positions she has enjoyed using her Spanish to communicate with the communities. She completed her Doctorate of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in the Urban Superintendent's Program and also did field work in Sacramento as part of her degree. "I am honored that the Board of Trustees has selected me to be Superintendent. I am especially proud to be part of the Pittsburg Unified School District that has a clear commitment to equity and high expectations for all students," Dr. Schulze said.
The Board of Trustees made its decision with input gathered from all key stakeholder groups in the District regarding the qualities of the next Superintendent. Careful attention was paid to the priorities and concerns of all community constituents. Sally Frazier and Don Iglesias, consultants from the firm of Leadership Associates, assisted the Board in its search.
Based on the feedback received from our parents, staff, and community members, we were looking for someone who is a collaborative leader and who is familiar with and committed to Pittsburg's mission, vision, core values, and community. Candidates were considered after a rigorous screening and interview process, and Janet Schulze was chosen as the best fit for Pittsburg.
"I look forward to working with the entire Pittsburg community as we strive to provide a high level of instruction where each child can reach his or her fullest potential," Janet said.
George H. Miller, President of the Board Pittsburg Unified School District

City of Pittsburg: Pittsburg's Culinary Crawl Returns June 5

Pittsburg's Culinary Crawl Returns June 5

Posted Date: 5/28/2014

Culinary crawl to start June 5 in Pittsburg's Old Town

By Eve Mitchell
Contra Costa Times

PITTSBURG -- The city's culinary crawl is back for its second year after sellout events during its inaugural run last summer.

The popular restaurant walking tour -- which lets participants sample mini-appetizers from six Old Town restaurants -- kicks off June 5. And like last year, the weekly crawls will alternate on Thursday nights, with classic car shows on Railroad Avenue throughout the summer months.

The three-hour crawl will make stops at New Mecca Cafe, LaVeranda Ristorante, Lumpy's Diner, EJ Phair Restaurant & Brewery, Dad's BBQ and the Hall of Fame Sports Bar & Grill. On average, between 135 and 150 people attended each crawl last year.

The crawl concept gets people out to new places, said Dietra King, one of the owners of Dad's BBQ.  "There were people who came to the restaurant who had never come to the restaurant," she said of last year's crawls. "It gave them the opportunity to do some tasters." It also helped improve business at the restaurant, she added.

One change this year is a higher ticket price: $10 instead of the $5, which covers all six restaurants.

"Last year was to get the word out and get people excited about something," said Kolette Simonton, the city's community relations manager.  Surveys taken of those who went on the crawls determined that people would be willing to pay from $10 to $20 for each walking tour.  "We didn't want to do $20; we figured $10 was the right amount," Simonton said. "And this year, we did not limit the tickets like we did last year."

If you want to buy a ticket, don't look to make the purchase online. Tickets will be sold only at the Railroad Book Depot. Not having online sales accomplishes a couple things: It avoids a service charge associated with the online transaction and gets people downtown.

"By selling tickets in the bookstore, it also brings traffic to the bookstore. We encourage people to purchase in advance," Simonton said. "That way, we know how many people are coming, and the restaurants have a better idea of how many people they are serving."

That said, there are expectations that some people will buy tickets at the last minute, she added.

For more information, go to www.pittsburgcrawl.com or call 925-252-4860.

HEALTH: 16 Cancer Causing Foods You Probably Eat Every Day

Posted:   29 May 14


Purpose

Here is something you might find interesting, if not life-changing.  Also this website has a wealth of other interesting articles.  In no way is this an endorsement of the site.  It is pretty impressive to me and seems very credible -- making claims that are readily verifiable.  You may want to do some verifying before taking action.  And, of course, keep your physician "in the loop."

From the website:  NaturalOn.com  (self-reputed to be the World's number one Natural Health site)


From the Introduction to the Article

"It’s probably not something you think about every day, whether or not the foods you are eating could contain carcinogens, but with almost 1.5 million people diagnosed with some type of cancer just last year, perhaps it’s time to look at what is in our foods that could be causing such a huge number of new cancer patients. Here is a list of the top 16 foods that you most likely consume every day that may contain carcinogens or be suspected of causing cancer. [more...]"


Extra Information -- About GMO's.

You've probably been hearing the term, more and more.  Here is a Wikipedia discussion of GMO's

Eat in Good Health,
