A few days ago, I was walking through Balboa Park and was mentioning the stuffy humidity on a warm day and I heard someone say earthquake weather. I immediately shuddered at the thought of a major earthquake occurring and the anger at someone who would even mention earthquake (as if he had jinxed us and that the cosmos would now snap into action at this verbal faux pas.) While we may be conditioned to fear the worst, we must all transcend fear into action. With the 29th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake fast approaching, let s take time this month to empower ourselves. 1) To enhance district knowledge, go to sfpdinglesidestation.com and signup for the station newsletter. 2) To enhance incident awareness, register for AlertSF notifications by texting your zip code to 888777. 3) To enhance capacity by gathering supplies and making a plan, go to: www.sf72.org. 4) To enhance community: a.

2 Page 2 Ofc. Eleonardo Zandanel was born in Pieve di Cadore Italy to an Italian father and a Brazilian mother, so he grew up speaking Italian and Portuguese. He migrated to the United States at age 10 and learned English, Spanish, and French along the way. After graduating from Northeastern University with a double major in International Affairs and Economics he then worked at the United Nations during 2 general assemblies in 2011 and 2014. Already an established world traveler, he then went on a motorcycle ride of a lifetime: from Boston to Brazil. There, he found a job at a non-profit. While visiting a friend in San Francisco, he noticed an ad on a Muni bus to join the SFPD and the rest is history. During a recent stop at a block party in Bernal Heights, Ofc. Zandanel jumped into a soccer pickup game with kids and showed off a Ronaldo-esque back-heel kick (see pictures above). Ofc. Zandanel has been with the SFPD for three years and enjoys Ingleside Station for the officers who deeply care about the community and the rich diversity of Ingleside s neighborhoods. He is currently assigned as a foot-beat officer and is doing an apprenticeship with the School Resource Officers (SRO s), where he is learning the dynamics of working with the parents, schools, and children in the Ingleside s 47 schools.
3 Page 3 Ernest Jones was born at St Luke s Hospital in the Ingleside District in 1985. EJ s home was at Arch and Holloway Street in the neighboring Taraval District. EJ s mother worked as an educator for the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) for 45 years; his father worked for SF MUNI as an Inspector. EJ attended St. Emydius Grammar School and later attended St Ignatius High School. EJ attended Dominican University for his undergraduate studies and received a Masters in Public Administration from the University of San Francisco. EJ s professional career in Public Administration began with the SFUSD where he assisted families and students with their needs and education. EJ wanted to further his public service and have more tangible impact on families, so he began working at the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center and with residents of the Alemany housing complex. There, he affected positive community engagement by starting the City Eats Program where 1,000 homeless people are fed nutritious meals every Saturday of each month. EJ continues to serve challenged and underserved communities and has a desire to make a positive impact on people s lives. EJ takes great pride in planning block parties where residents from communities such as Holly Park and Alemany Housing Complex celebrate their neighborhood. When asked about the recent Holly Park Block Party, EJ took pride in the success of the event where residents, neighbors (including Mayor Breed), and neighborhoods came together in a spirit of collaboration, preparation, and connection. EJ is grateful for so many motivated, caring, and dedicated people, community members, community groups, and City government (with special thanks to Nick Chapman at ISCOTT/MTA and Daniel Homsey from NEN) coming together to plan the upcoming November 3rd Alemany Block Party on Ellsworth Street from 11AM-2PM. We are grateful for EJ s dedication, enthusiasm, collaboration, and support for community building!
