because we never seen them with a black girlfriend. >> which brings us to luke. we asked him also about interracial dating. here's what he said. >> do you think your parents would be fine if you started to date a black girl, brought her home? >> my parents honestly wouldn't be too happy because if i was to marry a black girl, you're connected to their family now. and who knows what her family is really like. >> so they probably wouldn't be that excited about it? >> probably not. >> where do you think that comes from? >> we have an older daughter. she came home one day and informed me she started going out with an african-american young man or a black young man at the school. the young man we liked a lot. it wasn't that we didn't so much want them dating because of race per se, we didn't know if she really thought about some of the cultural differences there may be. so we talked about it in that respect. in fairness and to be honest, we do recognize that sometimes there are cultural differences. and we did talk about that. not that it's right or wrong, good or bad

a lot of our seniors live in the southeast quarter, they need to use st. luke's hospital. i am happy to hear that there is an agreement that is acceptable by both the mayor's office -- it is a compromise that we should support so that the project can finally proceed. i think the work force, one of the provisions to provide a $2 million for the work force is very important to create jobs and improve the economy. self-help runs the china stop one-stop. we see hundreds of job-seekers that have very little english speaking capability. they still need jobs. i am excited to be involved in that workforce condition that will help create a lot of these job training staff and employment opportunities. we urge you to support the project so that we will see both hospitals in a relatively short period of time. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, mr. president. commissioners. my name is thomas simpson. i am the artistic director of an arts organization. a big part of our mission is to use the arts to focus on issues that are important to our community. specifically the african- american co

luke's at least the level of mental health and charity care that it used to provide. thank you. president fong: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, president fong and commissioners. my name is dr. johnson rause and i'm here on behalf of the physician's organizing committee. a have a psychiatrist in the emergency service where i had the pleasure of touring two of your commissioners moore and borden. i would be delighted to offer a firsthand site to any of you who would like to come by. i'm told that sutter argues here that their existing psychiatric beds are underutilized since they closed the 32 inpatient beds at st. lukeas, they have accepted any of them from psych emergency. my colleague texted me and said they're telling the commission that 90% of the commission in p.e.s. are not acute and don't need to be there. i really hope he messed up that quote because i can't believe anybody would actually stand here and tell you that. to begin with, 65 to 75% of the people who are brought into p.e.s. are on a 5150 psych hold from the police. so they're there

luke's because of the jobs that the hospital will give us to support our families and the benefit this hospital will give to the community. we also urge you to vote yes for the safety of the patients and the employees due to the fear of the earthquake calamity anytime. we thank cpmc for taking over st. luke's campus because cpmc give us good benefits and for agreeing to give us our jobs in the new hospitals. thank you. >> good afternoon and thank you, commissioners, for allowing everyone to speak here today. my name is rick oherro. i'm the owner of a contracting business, we're a local union business, local contractor here in san francisco for the last 57 years. of all of the contractors in the land, cpmc and sutter chose us to joint venture six years ago to form a partnership to bring this facility to life. i have never seen an owner so patient with the process in my life. so many of the projects that we start never get to the start line and to the finish line. i know there are many waity issues on your plate here, life safety, seismic, economic, physical, and mental health of the com

the good old -- so i wanted to find out more, and right this minute we have luke via skype to tell us all about it. >> were you at all concerned she might use up all the oxygen in her tank? because in the video we do see her blowing out quite a bit of air? >> as you look closely, a part where i kind of go like this and telling her, remember your breathing technique. because if you do stop, your lungs explode. so i don't want that to come out of the proposal. >> okay. that was a big, old risk. >> were you thinking about dropping the ring and all the things that might go wrong in this scenario? >> that was the real ring underwater. i had no insurance on it at the time and i gave it to the instructor who i never met in my life before. he held on to it for an r about an hour before we actually dove and i wasn't even with him when help had t. one of those couples that gets married underwater? >> no. probably because she wanted all of her family there. we are getting married in a building, not water. >> you planned this for six months, and the day you were going to propose they closed the p

the interesting thing to think about is it is an ironclad commitment and it would seem to me that using logic, the hospital would want to make st. luke's as profitable and successful as possible. they have to operate it and it has to have an emergency room and it has to have the facilities opened by the state in acute-care hospitals. as long as they have got it, the logic is, let's make it work and after 20 years, why would they close it? >commissioner moore: the larger the hospital, the larger the possibility of making it profitable. the equipment which is [unintelligible] basic it has to work at 200% efficiency. almost a 24-hour operation of operating rooms with only eight beds, that is hard to achieve. it is almost impossible. which would mean that somewhere along the line, there should be another plan of 160, 170 beds being billed as an expansion to properly utilize the investment in equipment and infrastructure. since an economic model -- the absence of a comprehensive health plan which we do not have in order to measure this against would leave many questions open. we understand t

the other thing i would like to talk about as st. luke's. many of our members use st. luke's at some of the neighborhoods, and some of the neighborhoods that this serves, and as another speaker said, 10 years and even 20 years of a guarantee is really a very short time, in terms of how this agreement will impact the city over the next 50 years. we would like to have assurances that this will be viable in serving the community not only for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren. thank you. >> charles range, maria powers, david kingo, brenda storey, -- >> good afternoon. i represent dr. eugene gainesland, who served this community for 35 years. he is a member of the organizing committee and referred patients to st. luke's when this have the full complement of services. babies are 2.5% more likely to die. this accounts for more children than any other zip code. the mission and the excelsior district also have similar numbers. the demands -- on obgyn's and pediatrics may increase to 1400 yearly. diversting psych, occupational medicine and surgery 08 -- this is ke

it's very clear that, for example, luke went back and had to do research. he had to investigate. he tells us that at the start of his gospel. in order to find out what he calls the exact truth. and the fact that he concluded that jesus was born of a virgin may well be because that was a part of the tradition that he discovered as he went back and did his research. >> do you have thoughts on what you're hearing? >> of course i do. this is my business. >> what are your thoughts? >> two things. one thing, again, augustine points out -- ancient christians for whom greek and latin were their vernaculars knew perfectly well the greek text was different from the hebrew text on this word. augustine says it is a mistranslation but he says the holy spirit puts the translation into greek deliberately looking ahead to mary's conception. so that's something that rather than deny that there's a problem augustine used it and made another nicer point. >> but that's not scholarship, is it? >> well, i think it's scholarship to acknowledge when there is actually a conflict rather than to deny there

we are again drawn to that line in luke, to whom much is given, much is expected. each of us has been at risk by don payne's example, we must be expected to honor it with service and sacrifice. god bless his family and god bless all of you for being here with us today. this time, the invocation will be given by the rev rant patrick conroy, the chaplain of the house of representatives. >> let us pray. god of heaven and earth. the work of your hands is made known in your bountiful creation, and in the lives of those who faithfully live their lives in service and in your grace. today we especially remember the life and work of our departed brother donald payne trusting your promise of eternal and ever lasting life and love. we remember his 30 years of service in elected office. in his 12th term of congress you called him to yourself. his voice on behalf of the millions who suffer on the continent of africa, and for so many here at home will be sorely missed. may his example give courage to those of us who continue on to similarly dedicate our lives and our energies fo
