NARA areas. See the Golden Pavilion, Buddhist temples, Shintō shrines, a trio of palaces, and dozens of gardens and museums. Kyoto is the former capital of Japan, and was the center of politics and culture for 1,200 years. Seventeen historic sites including the Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Nijo-jo Castle are designated as World Cultural sites.
The year 2010 marks the 1300th anniversary of the founding of the Nara Heijo-kyo Capital (Heijo-kyo). Nara is located in the Kinai plain, and remains full of historic treasures, including some of Japan’s oldest Buddhist temples such as Todaiji, (a huge temple housing Japan’s largest Buddha statue).

Questions and Answers
Q: What is the current fiscal situation in Concord?A: Sacramento has taken more than $78 million from the City of Concord over the past 20 years. The Great Recession has forced the City to cut its workforce by 25%, defer road maintenance, reduce programs and outsource services. As the economy struggles to improve, the City is exploring several ways to continue to provide the vital services we all rely on. Q: What are the
priorities Measure Q funding maintains?A: Funding from Measure Q has helped the city stay solvent and maintain services during one of the worst economic times of our day. Measure Q, which is scheduled to expire soon, funds essential city services, including:
■ 9-1-1 emergency response services■ Neighborhood police patrols■ Gang prevention programs■ Crime investigation services■ Road maintenance and pothole repair efforts■ City parks and playgrounds■ Youth sports and recreation programs■ Senior services and the Senior Center
Q: How does the budget crisis affect our public safety needs?A: Our community has continued to be concerned about maintaining public safety services, including 9-1-1 emergency response, neighborhood police patrols at night, crime investigation services, and gang prevention programs.

UPDATE:Concord’s Fiscal and ServiceDelivery Challenges
Message from the City Manager
Dear Resident:
In 2010, Concord voters enacted Measure Q, a local funding me
asure to give our community a guaranteed local
funding source that could not be taken by Sacramento.
Measure Q has been essential in maintaining key city services su
ch as 911 emergency response, police patrols, and
gang and youth violence prevention programs, along with many
other services of high priority to our community.
Without Measure Q funding, the City’s current financial forecast a
nticipates at least $4 million worth of budget cuts.
Like all cities, the Great Recession and the slow economic recover
y have put considerable strain on Concord’s ability
to maintain and protect vital city services. This challenge has bee
n made greater because the State of California has
taken more than $78 million from the City over the past 20 years.
Later this month, the Concord City Council is considering placin
g a measure before voters to extend Measure Q’s
funding with no increase in the taxes you currently pay in Conc
ord.
To learn more about Concord’s fiscal situation and how it affects yo
u, please visit: www.cityofconcord.org/fiscalhealth
Thank you,
Valerie Barone City Manager

ONE ON ONE
Journalism, in its simplest form, is telling stories
about our world. Journalists convey information and
images that help us shape our lives.
Whether it's a breaking story on the capture of a
fugitive or an image of a starving child in a war-torn
nation thousands of miles away, these reports have an
impact on readers and viewers. As watchdog of our
society, journalism has played a crucial role in sustaining
our freedom. It is the media's role to provide information
that we can use to begin dialogues that result in an open
"marketplace of ideas."
Journalism is a career that is ever changing. There are
opportunities for radio, television, Web, newspaper and
magazine journalists. You can work as a reporter, editor,
photojournalist, producer, graphic designer, proofreader,
news researcher or editorial assistant. As traditional and
digital forms of media merge, employers are looking for
people with new ideas on how to reach a greater audience.
But they will always need people who have a passion for
story-telling.
Journalism is a career for those who are courageous,
adventurous and possess an unflinching devotion to honesty
and integrity. There are infinite stories yet to be told.
You can be the one to tell them.
The Center for Integration and
Improvement of Journalism
(CIIJ) is a nonprofit organization
based at San Francisco State
University. Founded in 1990 by
former SF State Department Chair Betty Medsger, the
Center's mandate was to develop a series of model
programs designed to bring ethnic diversity to the
country's newsrooms and to promote improved and
balanced coverage of our multicultural society.
The coaching program has been a cornerstone of the
Center from the beginning. Alarmed at the rate of
students of color dropping out from basic skills courses,
Medsger conceived an idea to offer them additional
support from working journalists. The central mission
of the program was to provide coaching and mentoring
to students, particularly those of color, in order to
increase the retention and graduation of students.
However, the program is open to all students, regardless
of ethnicity.
For more information, call the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism at (415) 338-2083.
SFSU Journalism Department The SF State
journalism department prepares students for careers in journalism. This is accomplished by
providing instruction that requires students to develop a working knowledge of the skills, laws, ethics, power, and responsibilities of the news media. A strong liberal arts education also is required. The main goals of the department's courses are to help students become accurate and thorough researchers, precise and graceful writers, technically and aesthetically fine photojournalists. Students choose the major because these skills provide excellent preparation for numerous occupations, not only for journalism. The department is accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC).
For more information, call (415) 338-1689 or visit the Web site at http://www.journalism.sfsu.edu
Why should you consider a career
in journalism?
"I've stayed in journalism for nearly a decade because I love getting paid to write and because my job enables me to see the world through other people's eyes. Thousands of people per day read my stories and at some level I have an influence."
— Chris Heredia, San Francisco Chronicle reporter.
Chris Heredia
"I gained a better under-standing of what my stories should cover, how to be more
resourceful and about the profession in general. It definitely inspired me. It's wonderful to know professionals are willing to give back to the community and help aspiring journalists."
— Melissa Navas, Contra Costa College journalism student on working with Carolyn McMillan, Contra Costa Times assistant city editor.

City College of San Francisco
The mission of the Journalism Department is to provide students with the opportunity to study the field and the skills that go into a journalism career. The department provides a pathway for transfer to four-year programs or the
opportunity to complete an Associate of Arts
degree and Award of Achievement. Students
receive lab experience in the writing, publishing,
and the distribution of a magazine, etc., and a
biweekly newspaper, The Guardsman. This is
done in an environment closely resembling a
professional newsroom, using
digital technology to paginate,
edit, and publish the paper. The
department is committed to
assisting students seeking careers
in related fields such as public
relations and advertising.

newspaper, The Advocate, which consistently wins top state
and regional awards. Students also produce a magazine,
Moment, which is published each semester. The program has a
dual purpose — to ready students for transfer to four-year
colleges, and to train students for the journalism profession
and related jobs.

skills but prepares students for transfer to four-
year schools. The campus newspaper, Laney
Tower, was established in 1952 and has won many
awards. Students join the Tower as reporters,
editors, photographers, graphic artists and
computer production and online staff members.
Since the Laney Tower is the only campus
newspaper in the Peralta College District, it makes
an effort to cover all the campuses, including
Merritt, Vista and College of Alameda.

Writing and Photo Coach Program
The Writing and Photo Coach Program was established in 1990 by the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism at SF State. Journalists are paired with students enrolled in certain
writing and photo courses. Because of their professional
experience, journalist-coaches can provide students with
a better understanding of the standards and demands of
the newsroom. The purpose is to help students improve
their writing and reporting or photography skills by
establishing a one-on-one working relationship with a
journalist who acts as a coach and mentor. After more
than a decade, the program has proven to be very
successful in helping students deepen their understanding
of journalistic writing and photography and in improving
their grade. In 2000, the CIIJ received a three-year
grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
to export the coaching program to five colleges. The
result is a collaborative effort with the CIIJ and the
journalism departments at City College of San Francisco,
Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College, Laney
College and California State University, Fresno.
To be eligible for the program, students must be
enrolled in specific journalism classes at SF State or one
of the five partner colleges. To apply, you will be asked
to complete an application and sign an agreement form.
PARTICIPATING COMMUNITY COLLEGES
"Talking about journalism
with students helps me
clarify a lot of my own ideas
about the profession and what
values I bring to it. And they've been
very appreciative and open to
suggestions and ideas."
— Ulysses Torassa, longtime writing coach and San Francisco Chronicle reporter.
