More than 150 bulls and horses will be shipped in from the Flying-U Ranch for this weekend’s rodeo events.
Taking Stock of 2022 Rowell Ranch Rodeo By Michael Singer CASTRO VALLEY FORUM
In addition to the dozens of contestants at the Rowell Ranch Rodeo this weekend, there will be more than 150 bulls and horses brought in to challenge the riders’ talents and skills. But it takes a small team of experts, a lot of preparation, and a lifetime of care for the animals that will make those 8 seconds so exciting. It’s about a two-hour drive from Castro Valley to the Flying-U Ranch in Marysville, California. That’s where the bulls, horses, and other stock animals are raised and bred for the Rowell Ranch Rodeo and other local rodeos in California and Nevada. The ranch hands driving four to five truckloads from the Flying-U will deliver the stock to Castro Valley. Each animal has a pre-assigned number for quick identification, but each
also has a personal reputation with names like Flood Tide, Billy the Kid, Holy Hoppin’ Hell, Lucky Charm, Bit-a-Bad News, and Boss Man. When they arrive, the numbered herd will be separated into smaller groups. Three to five wranglers collect the herd then identify the animals by a number and then crossmatch that animal with a specific contestant during a specific event such as bull riding, bronco roping, or the Cowboy Experience. “Prior to all rodeos, cowboys submit their entry form online which is processed by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PCRA) in Colorado Springs,” says Joe Paulo, Rowell Ranch Rodeo board director and “chute boss.” “From their spreadsheet, we will know which animals to separate for that day and bring them into the competition area prior to their events.” see STOCK on page 5
A recent surge in COVID infection rates and hospitalizations are giving health officials cause for concern. While not the massive spike in cases seen back in January, the current 6.6 rolling seven-day percentage of positive tests is significantly higher than the 1.0 average measured at this time last year. Health officers from the 12 Bay Area counties issued a statement this week pointing the finger at a combination of the highly contagious Omicron subvariants and lax masking practices. “Daily reported cases in Alameda County have reached levels seen during the Delta
wave. If you’ve chosen not to wear a mask indoors recently, now is a good time to start masking again,” said Alameda County Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss. Actual case rates are likely higher than those reported because of the widespread use of home tests, Dr. Moss added. The data collected from local wastewater processing plants have shown increased levels of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This means data from wastewater analysis can be used as an indicator of the level of transmission of COVID-19 in the community. The news comes as the US recently hit the grim milestone of 1 million deaths from see COVID on page 2
POINT IN TIME COUNT
Alameda County: 22 Percent Jump In Homelessness By Michael Singer CASTRO VALLEY FORUM
Approximately 9,747 people in Alameda County were identified as homeless earlier this year, according to data released this past Monday. The findings are part of a federal-mandated biennial count of the unhoused. While the number shows a 22 percent jump in homelessness since 2019, county health officials and homeless advocacy groups say the numbers could have been much worse. On February 22, 2022,
a coalition of Alameda County agencies and jurisdictions along with staff from the county, various cities, and members of the community conducted its PIT (Point in Time) Count. Small teams canvased neighborhoods, business zones, and known homeless camps to get the data. “This count reflects the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was delayed a year and a lot of measures and onetime funding came in from the Federal and State governments that focused on keeping people see HOMELESS on page 2

COVID: Officials Encourage Limiting Gatherings to Well-Ventilated Spaces continued from front page COVID. “Fortunately, cases remain far below what we observed during the Omicron surge, and hospitalizations have shown only modest increases so far. A little caution can help keep it that way,” Dr. Moss said. Although not required, masking is strongly recommended by the California Department of Public Health for most public indoor settings, and health officials recommend wearing higher-quality masks (N95/KN95 or snug-fit-
ting surgical masks) indoors. Vaccines remain the best protection against severe disease and death from COVID. Hoping to prevent further spread, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors last week approved a contract to continue expanding the County’s COVID-19 vaccine access in East Oakland and unincorporated areas of Alameda County (Ashland/Cherryland and San Lorenzo), where vaccination gaps remain in populations hardest hit. Rates of full vaccination in
these areas of Alameda County range from 60 to 71 percent for Black/African American residents, 67 to 70 percent for Hispanic/Latino residents, and 63 to 77 percent for Pacific Islander residents. Forty-three to 64 percent of fully vaccinated residents in these areas have received a booster. Eighty-four percent of all Alameda County residents are fully vaccinated, and of those residents, 63 percent have received a booster. Health officials say people should also stay home if they feel sick and get tested right away. Officials also encourage getting tested after potential exposure and limiting large gatherings to well-ventilated spaces or outdoors.
Homeless: Populations continued from front page housed, but still, both sheltered and unsheltered populations have increased. The county has a plan to alleviate homelessness, and now is the time to provide resources for the plan through long-term investment in housing for our very low-income citizens” said Moe Wright, Chair of the Leadership Board of EveryOne Home. Every two years, the county has conducted its homeless count and survey as required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The goal is to understand the ongoing shortage of affordable housing and services and adjust as needed. The survey was not conducted in 2021 due to COVID-19 considerations. Of the 9,747 people experiencing homelessness countywide, the Point in Time data shows 2,612 of those counted were living in temporary shelter conditions such as a hotel or with a friend while 7,135 were counted as unsheltered. Of those unsheltered, the County found a 39 percent increase in occupied vehicles (3,918 people total were found living in vehicles, 2318 in cars or vans, and 1,600 in RVs). There was a 53 percent increase in individuals enrolled in shelter programs since 2019 (902 people) because of Federal, State, and local resources for temporary shelters for see HOMELESS on back page

CV Realtor Awarded for Community Citizenship Louise Lovewell, a realtor with Re/MAXAccord in Castro Valley recently received the Community Citizenship Award given by Re/MAX International based in Denver, Colorado. Louise was selected to win this annual award out of 14,955 agents in the western United States. The journey for this award began in the 1980s when Louise started as a dinner cook, bought and delivered food for the San Leandro Women’s Shelter, and served on their inaugural Board of Directors where she later became the Board Chairperson. She continued to sponsor fundraising events for the shelter and for her church and school. Ten years ago, Lovewell extended her commitment to the community when she began neighborhood food drives for the Alameda County Food Bank. She reportedly brings in between 2000 to 2500 lbs. of food every year to help the San Leandro area communities. In 2021, her team collected 4,780 lbs. of food.

Senior Alert: Medi-Cal Eligibility Rules Are Changing However, if that individual is married, and has a spouse living at home in the community (a “Community Spouse”), a 1989 amendment to the Medicaid Act recognized the need for a Community Spouse Resource Allowance (“CSRA”), to avoid the impoverishment of the spouse at home. That CSRA amount By Gene L. Osofsky, Esq. has adjusted over the years based on inflation, and the SPECIAL TO THE FORUM current amount is $137,400. So, under today’s Medi-Cal A. Yes, indeed, and you heard correctly! The changes rules, a married individual with coming are probably the most a Community Spouse could qualify for a Medi-Cal subsidy dramatic since the Medicaid program was first established if, together, their savings and other countable resources do under President Lyndon Johnson back in 1965. A bit of not exceed the sum of $2,000 + $137,400 = $139,400. background may be helpful: The big change coming is Historically, Medicaid, which we call “Medi-Cal” in the increase, and ultimately California, has been a health- elimination, of the resource cap for the individual seeking care program for “the poor”, defined over the years as an in- a Medi-Cal subsidy. Under dividual with less than $2,000 California legislation signed by Gov. Newsom as part of the in savings or other countable 2021 Budget Bill (“AB 133”), assets.

In addition, another $65,000 will be allowed for each household member, up to a total of 10. However, if that individual is married and has a Community Spouse who is not, herself, seeking Medi-Cal, then the couple’s combined resource allowance will be the sum of the following: $130,000 + $137,400 = $267,400. The rules are a bit complex in terms of who qualifies as a Community Spouse (and is thereby entitled to the full CSRA of $137,400), but in our practice we have found that in most cases the spouse at home will so qualify, provided that he/she is not also seeking a Medi-Cal subsidy.

Q. My doctor recently suggested I start a walking program to help get my weight and blood pressure under control, but I’ve never exercised much and am 66. Can you recommend some tips? By Jim Miller SPECIAL TO THE FORUM
A. You should follow your doctor’s orders. Years of research have shown that walking may be the single best exercise you can do to improve your health as you age. It burns calories, which will help you lose weight, builds endurance, enhances muscle tone and it doesn’t pound your joints. It also helps improve or prevent many age-related health problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, dementia and even depression. But walking is not only good for what ails you. It’s also one of the easiest and most convenient exercises you can do and is completely free.

Stage #2: The California legislation proposes that on January 1, 2024, the resource caps will be eliminated entirely, subject only to Federal approval! While this approval has not yet occurred, rumor is that approval is likely. In that event, California will be the only state in the entire country that will have completely eliminated the long-standing resource test to qualify for a Medi-Cal subsidy. However, the following aspects of the Medi-Cal rules will not change: 1) The rules pertaining to the treatment of INCOME. Currently income is considered in determining whether an individual has a Share of Cost (“co-pay”), and is also a determinant for eligibility for certain Medi-Cal programs, such as the Aged & Disabled Federal Poverty Level Program, and the Assisted Living Waiver Program; 2) The rules pertaining to ESTATE RECOVERY. Under current rules, California may seek to recover the benefits paid, following the death of a Medi-Cal beneficiary, if his/ her estate goes through a full probate, unless statutory exceptions apply, such as survival by a spouse or a disabled child. Note: assets held in a Living Trust typically do not require a probate and are therefore usually protected from estate recovery. 3) The rules pertaining to the making of GIFTS.

All you need is a good pair of walking shoes that fit well and a little desire. Here are some things you should know to help get you started and stay motivated. Getting Started Start out slow if you need to. For many people this means head out the door, walk for 10 minutes, and walk back. Do it every day for a week. If that seems easy, add five minutes to your walks the next week and keep adding five minutes until you are walking as long as you desire. It’s also a smart idea to start and finish your walk with a few simple warm up and cool down stretches. Stretching will make you feel better and help prevent injury. Most fitness professionals recommend walking about 30 minutes, five or more days a week. Or, for optimal health benefits aim for 10,000 steps per day, which is the equivalent of about five miles. Your walking pace is also important. While strolling around the park or neighborhood at an easy pace is good, a brisker pace that has you breathing heavily, but you are still able to carry on a conversation, provides better health, fitness and weight loss benefits. Staying Motivated While starting a walking program takes initiative, sticking with it takes commitment. Here are some tips to help you stay motivated: Find a walking buddy: Having a friend to walk with can provide motivation and support along with companionship. Wear a fitness tracker or pedometer: These devices measure how far you’ve walked in steps and miles, providing motivation by spurring you to meet a particular goal and showing you if you’ve met it. Or, if you use a smartphone there are free pedometer apps you can download like MyPacer.com, Google.com/fit or Accupedo.com. see WALKING on back page

Stock: In Town for Rodeo Festivities continued from front page Paulo estimates some 30 bulls, and more than 50 steers will be at Rowell this weekend. An additional 30 bucking horses with 20 more for bareback events. There will also be calves and cows for the team events. In addition to the stock from the Flying-U, contestants will also be trucking in their own competition horses for events like roping and barrel racing. “What is unique about Rowell is that some of the stock not being used is being let out on the grassy hill behind the arena. You can see these animals from the freeway… just feeding in the open spaces. It’s an original way to make them comfortable,” says Rowell Ranch president, Russ Fields. Before the action happens, the cowboys spend just under five minutes in the chute getting situated with the animal before that explosion of energy bursts out of the gate and the iconic 8 seconds it takes to judge the rider’s performance with the bull or horse. What’s changed over the 100 years since Rowell Ranch
Rodeo started is the advanced knowledge that the cowboys have about competitive livestock. “These guys have a game plan long before they get on the horse or bull,” Fields says. “Historically, a cowboy would have to talk to a ranch hand or the owner to get the inside scoop on how an animal behaves or which way to expect them to buck. Now they have online forums and cheat sheets where they can know more about the livestock than ever before.” And after the event, the bulls and horses will get loaded back onto the trucks and sent back to Marysville, says Flying-U manager Reno Rosser. “The animals only participate once for those 8 seconds and then we rest them for a month before they go to any other rodeo,” Rosser said. “You can’t buck them every weekend. That would not be safe for the rider or the bull or horse. It’s a misconception that rodeo animals are not taken care of. If you don’t take care of the livestock, they won’t take care of you. The average rodeo
stock looks better with their shiny and slick coats than your average ranch will have.” And while the bulls and horses are active, Rosser notes that bucking is a natural motion that you really can’t train. “They either buck or they don’t,” he adds. Those that don’t buck naturally are trained as either barrel riding or show horses. Those that are inclined to buck are then trained starting from a colt to be calm in a pen or a chute. “When they are young, we put them through a system to help calm them down,” Rosser says. “We pet them and help them get used to a saddle and a harness. It takes time, but when they are calmer there is less chance of injury to rider or livestock.” Additionally, PCRA rules require a medical team on-site for the contestants and an animal veterinarian team and animal care unit on site for the livestock. The Rowell Ranch Rodeo events start this weekend. Tickets are on sale now. Visit rowellranchrodeo.com for more information.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Special to the Times
Mortgage Interest Rates Projected to Continue Upward
W
The long anticipated real estate market shift is now a reality. Buyers, alienated by the highest interest rates in years are pulling out en masse. Offer deadlines are passing with no offers. Price reductions are starting to pop up like spring flowers. Inventory is swelling as new listings are joining the ranks of homes still on the market: properties that normally would have sold in a few days but are lingering longer than expected. In the midst of this, buyers are assuming the sky is falling and are reconsidering any immediate purchases. When examining where the market was this time last year, today’s market is a
totally different animal. Those who missed out on the opportunities last year need to realize we will not see that market or those interest rates in the near future. When looking at the historical data over the past 30 years, however, a much different picture emerges. Freddie Mac began tracking mortgage rate information in 1971 and, combining the data, the average mortgage rate since 1972 is a whisker under 8%. While we have enjoyed unbelievably low rates over the past few years, it is important to consider the factors that led to those rates. Due to the economic collapse in the mid-2000s, the Fed, in an attempt to revitalize the economy, began slashing interest rates. The

average rate in 2009 ended up at 5.4%. Due to low bank borrowing costs, rates dropped to an average of 3.65% in 2016. As the economy once again screeched to a halt, this time due to the global pandemic, the Fed further loosened the rates and we saw mortgages dip as low as 2.68% at the end of 2019. 2020 saw an incremental rise to an average of 3.11%.* While understandable that buyers want continued low interest rates, we all hope that the primary conditions that produced those rates – a total global economic collapse and subsequent global pandemic – will not be returning any time soon. With a more normalized economy, rates will head upwards and most likely return to historic averages over the next few years. Buyers who are pulling out of the market anticipating lower interest rates in the future may miss out on any opportunity to lock in rates under 6% for the foreseeable future. As rates are projected to continue rising, affordability will decrease and, buyers who wait, may find themselves locked out for good.

time after the danger of frost has passed. The time not to prune is November through mid-March. In addition, it’s a misconception or myth that incorrect pruning kills plants. Unless, you’re cutting the plant(s) off below the soil level. Poor pruning techniques produce unattractive or ugly plants. Many will respond and grow back quickly, such as a Myer Lemon, while others are permanently scarred. There is never a perfect time to prune an overgrown Meyer Lemon because they always seem to be in flower and/or fruiting. Some of the current crop, the next crop, or both will have to be sacrificed to get it back in shape. Before you begin pruning, harvest all the mature lemons. Then, you should remove any dead, diseased, injured, or broken branches. Next, reduce the length of the long shoots and shape the plant. If may also be necessary to reduce the sides besides the top to get the plant back into its designated area. I’d also raise the skirt of the canopy so it’s eighteen to twenty-four inches off the ground. You don’t

want the fruit contaminated from touching or being close to the soil. This will also allow you easier access to rake up the debris under the plant, which is very common during the growing season. The area under lemons and other citrus is perfect for snails to hide, So, I would bait it regularly with the organic snail bait, Sluggo. And finally, feed the plant with Citrus Food to encourage the new growth. Each spring, you prune to prevent the lemon from getting overgrown
Q
What causes plants or shrubs to just die? I planted two magnolias six years ago. And they have really not grown. One looks healthy with green leaves, but the other just dried out six months ago. It seemed just fine before that. I have also planted two Euryops Dasiys; one is dead, and the other is thriving.
A
Plants that seem to struggle with little to no new growth and then die overnight, are suffering from root rot. Root rot develops from the plants being planted too deep in our heavy clay soil and from excessive moisture. We often plant new plants at the bottom of a bowl-shaped hole. Shortly after that, the watering basin collapses around the trunk burying the plant (s). All new plants should be planted high out of the ground. The original root ball sticks out of the ground 1/2 to 1 inch above the grade. This allows the water to flow away from the trunk and prevents the plants from being buried too deep. For those still struggling, I would dig them up and replant.

The Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo Committee is celebrating their 100th year. While it has not been the centennial year any of us hoped for, we continue the celebration of our history and longstanding legacy of giving back to the community. A history that began when Harry and Maggie Rowell wanted to make sure future generations always have an opportunity to experience the same American rodeo traditions begun in 1921. We are proud to salute the frontline workers who are helping us navigate a time like no other. From COVID19 to wildfires, the past year has been full of many challenges, yet we remain optimistic for what lies ahead. As always, the health and safety of our community, fans, sponsors, volunteers, and rodeo
family remains our top priority. We are working closely with the Hayward Area Recreation District and the County of Alameda to plan rodeo events celebrating our centennial. The Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo Committee continues to work to preserve history while embracing the future and ensuring generations to come in our community enjoy watching their hometown rodeo. Thank you for being a loyal supporter and fan of the Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo. We pray for the health and safety of our community and look forward to the promise of the year ahead. We’ll be in touch as soon as more details become available. Sincerely, Russ Fields, President Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo

WEEKEND GARDENER Vegetables
Sow seeds or use transplants for lima and snap beans, beets, carrots, chard, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, endives, herbs, leeks, melons, peppers, pumpkins, radishes, spinach, squash and tomatoes. This is the last chance to sow cool-weather varieties of lettuce, although heat-tolerant leafy lettuce can be grown during the summer. Thin vegetable seedlings when they are an inch or so tall for greater yield. Flowers
Sow or transplant heat-loving flowers, such as ageratum, asters, clarkia, dahlias, hollyhocks, linaria, marigolds, nasturtiums, salvias, statice, strawflowers, sunflowers and zinnias. Cover the planting area with a 2-to-3-inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool on hot days.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FILESFORFORUM@GMAIL.COM
Somerset Improvements Thanks for the info on the (possible) improvements on Somerset Avenue. Given our traffic jams, parking problems, 30% childhood obesity rate, motor vehicle-induced injuries and fatalities and environmental issues one would think our elected officials would do everything possible to encourage active transportation. Unfortunately, the choices offered in the public works survey may not represent the best option(s). The three choices offered (2 bike lanes/0 parking, 1 bike lane/1 side parking, 0 bike lanes /2 sides parking) seem exclusionary and tend to align a dangerous super-majority (motorists) against a vulnerable minority (active transportation users). Somerset is 50 feet wide at most points which can accommodate two 11-foot car travel lanes, two 4-foot bikes lanes, one 8-foot parking lane, and two 6-foot-wide sidewalks. Most street parking does NOT need to be eliminated to accommodate those travel lanes. So - less pollution, less traffic, better health, and a better environment now and in the future. Please keep in mind that the primary purpose of public roads is to move people and goods rather than to provide free public storage for personal property. My youngest starts high school next year and we will be riding our tandem (or single bikes) to CVHS almost every school day. I hope our collective long-term health, safety and environmental issues are judged to be as important as personal convenience. –Stacy Spink, Castro Valley
Response to Cityhood I was not surprised to once again read that a faction has risen to contemplate yet another shot at cityhood for Castro Valley. Forum reader Mr. Peter Kavaler is on spot when he defers to history of the many attempts (if memory servers me, seventeen in all), and failures to accomplish this dead-end street that have taken place since 1945, the last in 1988. It too failed. I was part and parcel of helping defeat that attempt. The fact of the matter is simple to comprehend. Castro Valley has not the commercial or corporate tax base to afford incorporation. The real factor is that if incorporation were to become reality, this brand new city would have to draw up bankruptcy papers even before the ink was dry on papers of incorporation. Think then of property taxes. They would rise considerably and the swim from turbulent financial waters would be an expensive undertaking. Castro Valley is a bright and successful jewel of the Bay Area with all the trappings of remaining a part of Alameda County, and the benefits this association provides. I’ve lived here for sixty years and never looked back. –Ron Darcey, Castro Valley
Big Issue for Incorporation The notion that Castro Valley residents would pay more in property and sales tax if Castro Valley became a city is false. The reality is that taxes already being paid will go to city services. We will garner more of the tax money for local purposes. Currently, much of the tax monies go to other entities outside our boundaries. I suggest people go online and see how other unincorporated areas in California fared regarding taxes when they incorporated. I think you may be surprised. The big issue for incorporation is “local control”. Citizens of CV will be able to vote on issues pertainent to their city, and elect officials that have CV as a priority. –Robert S. Thomas, Castro Valley

Grow Tomatoes in Pots: Have Fresh Tomatoes Close at Hand By Melinda Myers Special to the Forum
Keep garden-fresh tomatoes close at hand this season. Grow one or more in containers on your patio, balcony, or front steps. Any tomato can be grown in a pot, but determinate varieties are smaller and more compact, so they are easier to manage in a container. They produce fruit in a relatively short period of time, making them great choices for preserving as well as using fresh. Look for a D or determinate on the plant tag, seed packet or in the catalog description. Indeterminate tomatoes, often identified with an I, are large, sprawling plants. These are usually staked or grown in wire cages to save space, reduce pest problems and make harvesting easier. They continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit until the frost kills the plant. Indeterminate tomatoes usually produce more tomatoes, but the harvest is later in the season than determinate varieties. New containers with built-in trellises or creative gardeners crafting their own makes growing indeterminate tomatoes in pots an easier possibility. Grow one tomato per container for maximum productivity. Use a 5-gallon or bigger container for large varieties and at least a two to three gallon or similar size pot for smaller varieties. Some research suggests growing tomatoes in a pot that is at least 14 inches but preferably 20 inches wide will yield greater results. Adding flowers and herbs to the container boosts the beauty and diversity of your container garden but will reduce the number of tomatoes produced. Growing tomatoes in containers also allows you to extend the season. Start earlier by moving the planter inside when the weather is harsh and back outside when the weather is warm and sunny. As the weather turns cold at the end of the growing season, cover the planter or move it into a frost-free location as needed. Some gardeners even move a pot or two inside to finish off the tomato season. Grow tomatoes in a container with drainage holes or a self-watering pot that has a reservoir to hold water and extend the time between watering. Further reduce the need to water by adding an organic, sustainable soil amendment like Wild Valley Farms’ wool
pellets (wildvalleyfarms.com) to the potting mix. Made from wool waste, this product reduces watering by up to 25 percent. Adding a low nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer at planting will eliminate the need to fertilize weekly. Just make a second application, if needed, mid season. Plant tall tomato transplants a few inches deeper than they were growing in their container. Remove the lowest leaves that would otherwise be buried in the soil. Cover with soil and water. This is also a good time to install any stakes, trellises, or cages to support taller varieties. Initially, check tomatoes growing in containers every day and water often enough to keep the developing root system moist. Reduce watering frequency as plants become established. Feel the top few inches of soil and water the established plants thoroughly whenever this is dry. Mulch the soil with evergreen needles, shredded leaves, or other organic mulch to keep the soil consistently moist and suppress weeds. Consistent soil moisture encourages more flowering and fruiting, while reducing the risk of blossom end rot, cracking, and misshapen fruit. Harvest tomatoes when fully colored or leave them on the plant a few more days for an even sweeter flavor. You’ll enjoy the convenience of harvesting fresh tomatoes right outside your door for use in salads, sauces, and other favorite recipes. Melinda Myers has written more than 20 gardening books,

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Jonah Pitcher Jonah Pitcher is our Athlete of the Week. This Senior plays outfield for the Varsity Boys Baseball team at Castro Valley High School. Last week, Pitcher singled on a 0-2 count scoring the go-ahead run in the bottom of the 10th in his last game at Trojan Field. Castro Valley dominated the first six innings until Arroyo tied the game with three runs in the 7th. Pitcher’s single helped cap off the end of the season by sending the Arroyo Dons packing. Pitcher will be attending UCSD in the fall.

that means your hip hinge needs work. It’s likely you’re either rounding your back or bending your knees instead of using your hips. Now, here’s how to work on it: Grab a broom or some other kind of long stick and hold it behind your back with it touching your butt, upper back, and back of your head. Keeping your knees soft, push your butt back while maintaining all three points of contact. If you do this correctly, your body will form a V-shape. Common mistakes would be either rounding your back or bending your knees instead of moving your hips. What this is teaching you, is how to use your hips while maintaining a neutral back position and the reason that’s important is that the better you can move your hips, the less your low back needs to move. That means less pain and dysfunction and that’s good, right? Give this a try and drop me an email to let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear about it!

Homeless: Unsheltered continued from page 2 COVID safety precautions and an influx of additional shelter accommodations. Traditional congregate shelters continue to operate at reduced capacity, with several hundred beds offline due to COVID safety measures. Closer to home, 419 people were found to be living unsheltered with 91 living in a shelter in the unincorporated areas of the County (Castro Valley, Ashland, Cherryland, etc) while 312 people were living unsheltered with 97 finding temporary housing in San Leandro. “For me, each number in the 2022 Point in Time Count represents a person, their story, and the needed social services that enable them to thrive in our community,” said San Leandro Mayor Pauline Russo Cutter. “My emotions are pulled by the number of residents that do not have permanent housing. That said, I am confident my City Council colleagues and City staff are making strides to meet the needs of this vulnerable population.” While there was an increase in homelessness, Alameda County previously experienced a 20 percent increase in homelessness each year. This shows a marked slow-down since 2019. “We know how to solve homelessness,” said Tomiquia Moss, founder, and CEO of All Home, a regional organization dedicated to ending homelessness and housing insecurity for people with extremely low incomes. “Programs like Roomkey and Homekey, as well as eviction moratoria and emergency rental assistance programs, have changed the game, and there’s no going back—it’s time to lean in, finish the job, and end the suffering on our streets.” Moss and other organizers say they hope the Point in Time count will convince state and federal leaders to continue these assistance programs. Currently, Alameda County receives more than $41 million in HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) funding, a key source of funding for the county’s permanent housing and services for the homeless. The county said it expects to release geographic and demographic data later in mid-July. Those survey results are expected to shed light on the reasons for homelessness including health conditions, residency before homelessness, employment status, and what people say could have prevented their homelessness.
