cats (ages 8 and 5 approximately) — had been waiting slightly more than a year for their new forever home when they were recently adopted. FAAS wanted to find them a home together because they are a bonded pair, but finding someone to take two large older shy female Tortis was a tall order. Nonetheless, we held out for a dual adoption.

While they waited for their for-ever home, Keetchoon and Baby received lots of love and the very best of care from staff and volun-teers. And, when their new person came in to meet them and spend time getting to know them, we held our collective breath and kept fin-gers crossed she would take both home with her. She did!

Now Keetchoon and Baby can relax together with their wonderful new human, and all can have a great life together.

An “Apple bus” picks up employees at the Park & Ride on Island Drive on Tuesday morning, April 7. Protesters held up “Apple” and “Google buses” on April 1. The Apple bus driver photographed the Alameda Sun pho-tographer while he was photographing the bus.

They handed out “Gmuni” pass-es. Some of the protesters tried to board the Google bus with these passes. They later told reporters that the bus driver pushed one of their number armed with a Gmuni pass off the bus.

The protestors likely picked April 1 because that afternoon the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to allow the Apple and Google buses to use the Muni bus stops for a fee of $1 for each time a bus uses a stop.

The following day, April 2, pro-testers blocked a bus carrying Yahoo! employees at the MacAr-thur BART station. On April 3 they blocked buses at the West Oakland

BART station. Most of these protesters were

acting under the umbrella of “De-fend the Bay Area, a group staging a series of protests that started March 28 and ran through April 5.

involving all four at the Presidio on topics such as a rising sea level, seismic events, and wildfires.”

Cohen stated that The Guard-ian’s story about the confab ad-dressed the programs and initia-tives in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. The story practically omitted Alameda, referring to the Island City as “quaint and low-pro-file,” with no reference to any of the Island City’s resilience strate-gies. The Guardian’s story left the impression that Alameda attended the meeting as an observer, rather than a participant.

Among the qualities that the Rockefeller Foundation is seeking for the chief resilience officer is that person’s ability to engage both on the local and global scale. The foundation pointed out that the re-silience officer must understand his or her community and local setting and be able to establish and main-tain strong engagement from mu-nicipal leaders, city residents and key stakeholders.

In rescinding the grant, the Rockefeller Foundation told Alam-eda that it did not like the strategy it had submitted, calling that strat-egy “incompatible” with the foun-dation’s vision. The foundation said that talks over the role Alameda’s resilience officer would play “broke down.”

The foundation pointed out to

the city that it specifically designed the grants to ensure cities it choos-es take a broad definition of resil-ience. This includes the ability to respond to a wide array of shocks and stresses from violent crime to health pandemics to persistent poverty and that the officer, who would coordinate across city de-partments as well as with the pub-lic and private sectors, is “crucial” for achieving that goal.

Questions arise when one takes the foundation’s remarks apart and carefully studies them:

n How did the city define resil-ience to the foundation?

n Why did the foundation have to point out that it needed a broad definition of the concept?

n Did the city of Alameda ad-dress violent crime at all in its in-teractions with the foundation?

n Did the city’s discussions in-clude persistent poverty?

n Did the city address any pos-sible health pandemic that might arise from a disaster?

n Did the city share the identity of its candidate for the resilience of-ficer and was that person qualified for the job?

The bottom line seems simple. The city of Alameda and the way it presented itself did not make a very good impression at the Rockefeller Foundation.
