Visitacion Valley Grapevine - Features - July 2010

VISITACION VALLEY HISTORY PROJECT Growing Up in Little Hollywood by Betty Parshall Jacqueline Bauman was born in 1934 and spent several years of her childhood at the family home on Lathrop Avenue in Little Hollywood. Her older sister Eleanor was born in 1933. Both births happened at 4 p.m. when the SP train came roaring out of the nearby tunnel. “ ‘Toot-toot and there was little Eleanor; toot-toot, and there was little Sissy!’ So the family story went.” “My sister and I grew up with Candlestick Cove bay as a favorite place. We knew Bill Manuel, the man with the wooden leg, from the get-go. His huge flat barge was beached with a plank for getting to shore, had living quarters for him, his wife Mary and their two children. He salvaged iron from the old ships in the cove and lost his leg doing so. He also worked as a security guard for the housing project. “One morning after a fierce storm my father returned from the bay saying the barge was way out in the middle floating free. He called the coast guard and Manuel’s boat was towed back in. We all went down and watched the show. No TVs but a great life.” “My sister and I, when we were very little, liked to sit and watch the trains come out of the tunnel. I had a way of, well, it was only God that kept me from being killed while I was growing up. I would do things and I’d get kids to do it with me, and sometimes it wasn’t real smart. My sister would never do anything on her own, but I’d tell her come on; we climbed onto the metal beam over the tunnel and sat there in our dresses. I said ‘Look!’ And a train came out of the tunnel and we almost got killed, the smoke that came up!’” Candlestick Cove housing project was built to accommodate the shipyard labor force during World War II. Jackie related that her father had planted nasturtiums that had gone to seed. “I said, I’m going to sell these seeds in the project, and my father said that’s a good idea, so I got some paper and made flour and water paste, and I made these envelopes. I put the seeds in them and I wrote on them ‘five cents.’ I probably had twenty packages. I said ‘o.k., I’m off.’ I was probably eight years old, and I sold them all. People bought anything I ever had. I bought some religious pictures with glitter that I could get ten for a dollar, and could sell for twenty cents each. Away I’d go to the project to sell, and saw nasturtiums growing all over. I loved the projects.” Jackie and Eleanor loved to go swimming in the bay, accompanied by their father. “We were the weird family that swam in the bay. Pollution? Well, what about it. It wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be. We swam at the north end. The wind usually blew north to south. We knew if the wind was blowing from the south, stay out of the water. Life was simple.” The childhood experience of swimming in the bay was very precious to the girls. During her last illness Eleanor told her sister she would like her ashes scattered in the bay. This was done, and later Jackie had a memorial picnic table installed in the state park in Eleanor’s memory. Jackie recalled many of the stores on Leland Avenue during her young days. It was Mr. Rossi of Rossi’s Pharmacy who told her mother to get Eleanor to the doctor after the child was hit by a baseball while playing in the Visitacion Valley playground sandbox. “I remember Romer’s Drugstore. I did not like Mrs. Romer. My sister thought she was wonderful, but Mrs. Romer scared me. The Purity Market was right next to the Bank of America, and the corner bar (Leland and Bayshore) was always there. And the library, I remember the library. Did you know there used to be a phone booth in the library? There was a family that lived on Tocoloma and the family man went into the phone booth and shot himself there. There were bad things that happened back then too, there was a depression.” “We went to the Bayshore Theater, that was where we got our news. I remember the war newsreels, we were always winning and it was great. My older brothers came home from the war and brought a lot of foreign coins. I lined up those coins with nickels and dimes and went to the Bayshore Theater and used them in the candy machines. One time there was a sign on the machine that said “broken” and I thought it was written all over my face that I did it! I left the movie before it was over.” “The best thing about the neighborhood was the ethnic and financial blend. One next-door neighbor owned the Evergood Sausage Company, and on the other side they owned a big restaurant downtown. So you had people who owned businesses and people who just worked for a living. And there were Maltese, Italians, Scots, and Germans. I remember when a Chinese family moved in on the corner and the real estate agent sent a petition around the neighborhood asking if was o.k. if they moved in and everyone said yes.” Excerpts from the Oral History of Jackie Bauman The Fight to Keep Californians in Their Homes by Senator Mark Leno In 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed in his State of the Union Address a Second Bill of Rights, known more specifically as an “economic bill of rights.” “We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence… In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.”- President Roosevelt, January 11, 1944 Among these truths he laid out was “the right of every family to a decent home.” Nearly 70 years after President Roosevelt laid out this dream for our future, we have instead an opposing nightmare scenario. Families across the country are being torn from their homes, in some cases after living there for many years, due to inflated and unsustainable mortgages and the collapse of our financial markets. Nationwide, this situation has led to the deterioration of many communities and neighborhoods. In the first quarter of this year California alone accounted for 23 percent of the nation’s total foreclosure activity. Last year, banks foreclosed on almost 200,000 homes in California, and that number is expected to rise this year. Behind these statistics are families, including elderly Californians, who are losing their homes after years of ownership. Some of these homeowners could have options to keep their houses through loan modifications, but many have encountered difficulty working with loan servicers. The stories are often similar and occasionally horrific. Servicers lose or misplace a borrower’s loan modification paperwork – sometimes repeatedly. Homeowners are put on hold for hours and then disconnected. Servicers give borrowers conflicting answers regarding the status of their loan modification application. Worst of all is when a servicer forecloses and sells a borrower’s home while the homeowner is being considered for a loan modification or is making payments on a mutually-agreed upon trial plan This situation cannot continue. While we know there is no quick fix for our nation’s foreclosure crisis, there are important steps we can take to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Earlier this year Senate pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and I introduced Senate Bill 1275, the Homeowner’s Bill of Rights, which aims to prevent unnecessary foreclosures. SB 1275 provides rights and remedies for homeowners working their way through the loan modification process so they can potentially avoid foreclosure. Under this legislation, lenders cannot foreclose on a home while a borrower is being evaluated for a loan modification. If a loan modification is not a viable option for a homeowner, loan servicers must provide borrowers with a detailed explanation. The foreclosure crisis has also impacted residential homes that specialize in caring for the elderly. Across the state elderly residents have lost their homes – often without any prior notice whatsoever – because the owner of the care facility has lost the property due to foreclosure. In recent incidents, residents had no idea they were losing their homes until sheriffs had them forcibly removed, leaving Adult Protective Services scrambling to find emergency placements. These last-minute notifications have an especially devastating effect on the elderly since they are often frail, highly susceptible to transfer trauma and rely on assistance for daily living. To strengthen the rights of California seniors who live in residential care facilities, I have introduced Senate Bill 1329. This bill, sponsored by California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, ensures that vulnerable care facility residents and their loved ones are notified when their home is being threatened. With such notification, they will be better able to carefully plan for a possible move and avoid dangerous last-minute evictions. SB 1275 and SB 1329 present two ways we can alleviate some of the suffering caused by our nation’s financial collapse. Although President Roosevelt’s vision of a Second Bill of Rights was unfortunately never implemented, we can still draw strength and direction from his vision of a better and brighter future – and the dream of home sweet home – for everyone.

Celebrating Independence Day by Assemblywoman Fiona Ma On the Forth of July we celebrate the origins of our freedom, our rights, our responsibilities and pay tribute to the document that led to a new way of life – the Declaration of Independence. This year, we celebrate the 234th birthday of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence reflects our nation’s founding and its heritage. While it did not give all the answers to freedom and self-government, it served as a blueprint and provided the impetus for our Revolution and our Constitution for self-government. On July 4th, as we celebrate with parades, barbecues and fireworks, I urge you to remember the brave men who signed the Declaration of Independence and to honor those individuals, from the Revolution to the present, who have fought and given their lives so that all Americans can enjoy the privileges of freedom and independence.
