El Cerrito to purchase furniture store site

Dateline: 
08/21/2008
By Shelly Meron

After 72 years on San Pablo Avenue, the owner of Tradeway Furniture said the store will be closing its doors in about a year, after agreeing to sell its buildings to the City of El Cerrito.

"It's an emotional thing," said owner Joseph Conwill. "We'll certainly miss all of our friends and customers. But the time has come."

The sale of 10860 and 10848 San Pablo Ave. — at $4.05 million — was approved by the City Council earlier this week. The city used money from its low-moderate income housing fund for the purchase, and is obligated to use the property for low and moderate income housing. The details of the project have not been nailed down.

Health Officials Say Campus Bay Safe for Current Use, Not Homes

Dateline: 
08/21/2008
By Richard Brenneman

While state and county health officials said a chemically contaminated site in southeast Richmond poses no dangers to their current users, concerns remain about past users and those to come.

They also acknowledge that their findings don’t include the possible interactions between the more than 100 toxic metals and chemicals found at the site.

Ethel Dotson, who initiated the Community Advisory Group [CAG] now advising the state about cleanups at Campus Bay and UC Berkeley’s Richmond Field Station, died Nov. 1 in the firm conviction her cancer was caused by exposure during her childhood.

MediaNews editorial

WE ARE PLEASED that Chevron is making a major financial contribution to the Richmond community where it operates the Bay Area's largest refinery. But the way the company struck it's $61.6 million community benefits deal smells — and the stink is coming from both sides of the table.
