MAC MEETING

COVID VACCINE

Property Rezoning Proposal

Officials: Get Your Booster

By Amy Sylvestri

By Michael Singer

CASTRO VALLEY FORUM

The Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) gave their tentative support to an early-stage preliminary proposal to rezone a property at 1446 A Street from residential low-density multifamily housing to mixed-use development. The item heard at the MAC’s Monday night meeting was information only, so the rezoning would have to be voted on at a future meeting, but the MAC all indicated that they’d like to see the property eventually host a commercial element, something that is not allowed under the current conditions. The parcel is a corner lot at the intersection of A Street and Ruby Street. As is, there is a two-story, 6,600-square-foot brick building that was built in 1939. It was the site of a former piano store. The new owners, The Lakeside Investment Company, proposes remodeling the existing building with two ground-floor commercial stores for retail or a restaurant. The second floor would maintain the two existing residential apartments. see MAC on page 2

As the community prepares for Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos activities this weekend, Alameda County health officials are recommending some groups get their COVID vaccine booster soon to avoid a health scare. Those 65 or older are eligible for this booster shot, according to the Public Health Department, so are people 18 and older with an underlying medical condition or who work or live in a high-risk setting. It is not yet known if or when the COVID-19 vaccine booster will be recommended for other groups. “COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be highly safe and effective, and booster doses will help ensure we get the greatest possible benefit,” said Alameda County Health Officer, Dr. Nicholas Moss. The announcement sent out last Friday also noted that the “mixing and matching” of boosters are also now permitted by health officials. That means if you got the Pfizer vaccine more than 6 months ago, you could get a vaccine boost from Moderna. see COVID on page 10

DOWN COMES THE RAIN: This past weekend’s atmospheric river drenched the Bay Area with more than a foot of rain at Mt. Tamalpais, according to the National Weather Service. Hayward and Livermore both saw more than 4 inches of rain, while the north portion of the Oakland hills received 7 inches. The runoff caused flooding on streets and downed some trees. But it also provided some beautiful sights at the Lake Chabot waterfall on the east side of the lake.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Debra Flores: A Survivor’s Story By Mike McGuire

CASTRO VALLEY FORUM

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a good time for women to remember to get screened against the disease by getting a mammogram said Kaiser Permanente Senior Vice President Debra Flores. The other 11 months of the year are good times, too, according to Flores. She is a

breast cancer survivor herself, a registered nurse, and the area manager for Kaiser in southern Alameda County. Women should be examining their breasts every month for lumps in addition to getting mammograms once a year, Flores said. Usually, mammograms should start at age 40, but an individual with a family history of breast cancer might need to start them earlier.

Be sure your doctor knows the age when a mother or grandmother got diagnosed, Flores said. “If you find a lump or a mammogram finds one, treatment is much more effective and often much simpler the earlier you find it,” Flores said. Breast cancer caught in its earliest stages has a 10-year survival rate of 98.9 percent, she added.

“Of course, you want the mammogram not to find anything wrong,” she said. “But if something’s wrong, you do want it found as early as possible.” Most of the time, a mammogram comes back negative for cancer, Flores said. “It’s true that one in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime,” she see FLORES on page 5

continued from front page Castro Valley and the Bay Area, in general, have been trending towards these types of mixed-use developments with housing on upper floors and commercial uses on the ground floor. However, this project would be among the first that would be outside the existing downtown area. Additionally, a 72-unit apartment building is set for construction nearby and the MAC indicated restaurants or shops would be an asset as more people come to live in the area. “There is going to be a need for services in the area when the new housing opens right down the street,” said MAC Chair Ken Carbone. “Mixeduse is something we have in the commercial corridor, and we should have some other tools in our tool belts.” The MAC sent the matter back to county staff to see how exactly the rezoning process should proceed. Also at the Monday night virtual meeting, the MAC sent a request from the San Lorenzo Unified School District to sell off some of their property back to the county for more information. The school district wants to sell part of a parcel at 2275 Arlington Drive (formerly the Fairmont Terrace Elementary School) as surplus property and wants to sell a portion to the Seneca School, a school for challenged youth that has been operating there for 28 years. The MAC said there was confusion about what areas and how much of the property would be sold and told the county staff to return to the MAC with clear maps for the proposed uses.

New carpeting, painting and wood refinishing projects are ongoing. Also, he hopes to install a live streaming system which will bring programs to all the community. Cooper is quick to add that none of this would be possible without the support of Superintendent Parvin Ahmandi and Assistant Superintendent Suzy Chan and the entire CVUSD staff. Castro Valley Arts Foundation has also been an important donor to these projects. “After 16 years of almost daily use, it is time to give our beautiful theater a face lift!” said Cooper. Upcoming shows include Castro Valley High School’s “Clue,” November 5,6,12,13, a hilarious farce meets murder mystery. Castro Valley Arts Foundation opens the 20212022 Season, November 20.

Hospital Seeks Halloween Spirit By Mike McGuire

CASTRO VALLEY FORUM

Staff and volunteers are bringing Halloween to children with serious medical problems at George Mark Children’s House in San Leandro this week. The organization serves children who might be not able to go out for Halloween even if there wasn’t a pandemic to make things even less safe. This Thursday, there will be a Safari Encounters animal visit with patients, and on Sunday, Halloween, Star Wars costumed characters will visit to go trick-or-treating with the children.

But the children’s house needs donations from the public to make holiday events and their ongoing work through the pandemic possible. They ask that when you go shopping for Halloween costumes, that you donate to the Spirit of Children campaign either online at SpiritofChildren. com or at local outlets of Spirit Halloween, a well-known Halloween specialty retailer. Spirit Halloween has shops locally in Hayward at Southland Mall, in the former Dick’s Sporting Goods location; in San Lorenzo at 15928 Hesperian Blvd., which until recently housed Lamps Plus; in Union City at 30761 Dyer St., which

used to be Party City; and in Dublin at 4906 Dublin Blvd., across from Target. George Mark Children’s House provides care for children with illnesses that modern healthcare cannot yet cure, or for those who have chronic medical conditions. They provide care for children with terminal illnesses but do not require acute medical care, those who need non-acute care before returning home after hospital treatment, and respite care for parents who need a short break from providing nonstop care for their child. You can get further information on George Mark and their work at georgemark.org.

Flores: ‘I Celebrate My Recovery’ continued from front page said. “But the flip side is that seven in eight women will not.” With early detection, not only is treatment more likely to be effective but less total treatment could be needed. “A very small tumor will still need to be removed, but it takes a lot less to remove it,” Flores said. “And if the tumor is caught early, you might not need chemotherapy at all, though a short course of radiation treatment may still be called for.” “While most breast cancer is found in women, men have breast tissue and can develop breast cancer, too. They need to self-examine their breasts

monthly, just like women. And they can do it anytime, while we tell women not to do it during their menstrual cycle,” Flores said. While only about 1 percent of breast cancer diagnoses are in men, football great Jim Brown survived breast cancer, she said. Flores said she is acutely aware as an African American woman that more white women get breast cancer, but the mortality rate among African American women is 39 percent higher. Health-care disparities are often cited as a reason, she said. Even if you get a letter after your mammogram telling you no cancer was detected, be sure

to read the whole letter, Flores said. Sometimes there will be a note that unusually dense breast tissue was found, and you may need to be retested to get a better image. Often, relatively new 3-D scanners are then used, which was how her own cancer was found, Flores said. Sometimes, ultrasound is used instead, she said. Not all survivors like to talk about their experience, Flores said, but she noted this reporter was talking to her on her “rebirthday.” It was the anniversary of the start of her fight against breast cancer. “I celebrate my recovery. I live my life fully and I live it big,” Flores said.

The Grave Truth

ith zombie films all the rage, it is hard to turn on the TV or go to a movie theater without being bombarded by images of the walking dead. It seems that we mortals have a fascination with creepy dead things and love being scared silly, all of which is fueling a thriving horror film industry. At the heart of many scary flicks is a cemetery. While we know that what happens on the big screen is fiction, for many there is a gen-

eral discomfort with cemeteries and, for some, even fear. For this reason, many will never consider living close to a cemetery. According to Joshua Stevens of Redditor, America is home to more than 144,000 graveyards and cemeteries, so it is not uncommon to find them in residential neighborhoods. Since I have personally owned a home backing to a graveyard, I have a bit of experience. I never had any issues other than occasional disruptive activities in the

cemetery due to vandalism or pranksters. It was an older cemetery, so not only did it not receive many visitors, there were no new internments. I was conscious of two things: there was never going to be any development behind me and, for the most part, it was akin to living next to a park. As everyone liked to joke, the rear neighbors were also very quiet. The only issue we faced was when it came time to sell. It quickly became apparent that while we had no issues living by a cemetery, others most certainly did. There are many factors at play: some have a fear of all things dead, others have specific religious or superstitious beliefs and for another group, they have simply watched too many zombie episodes or reruns of Poltergeist. Whatever the rationale, the number of potential buyers was definitely lower than if the home had been in another location. A survey by the National Association of Realtors discovered that homes adjacent to graveyards typically sell for 12% less than homes further away.* We discovered this as well: when selling two homes in the same development, the property backing to the cemetery took longer to sell and the price was definitely lower than an identical home further up the street. On a ghoulish note for those living close to cemeteries who might also be planning Halloween parties – have fun – you never know who might show up!

WEEKEND GARDENER Lawns Now that the weather is changing, start new lawns with sod or seed, or reseed thin spots in established ones. The cooler, showery conditions mean less watering during the first two weeks it takes for the seeds to germinate. Winter Color For winter color, nothings beats pansies and violas. This pair makes a great showing massed together in flower beds or planted as accents in containers of all sizes. Choose from many different varieties, some with clear faces, others with butterfly designs. Vegetable The cooler and wetter the winter, the more important it is to get cool-season vegetables—such as beets, carrots, radishes, turnips, leafy greens and all kinds of peas—started early in the fall. Tree Check-up Coming winter storms may cause major trouble for trees in your yard. Seek advice from a certified arborist if you spot any of the following potential problems: ✔ Dead or partially attached limbs hanging up in higher branches, or decayed areas on the trunk or main limbs. Mushrooms growing from bark are a sign of a decaying trunk. ✔ Tree branches in contact with electric lines. ✔Tight V-shaped forks, which are much more prone to trouble than open U-shaped ones.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Climb Mortgage rates continued to rise this week due to the trajectory of both the economy and the pandemic. Even as the availability of existing homes is improving, prices remain high due to homebuyer demand and limitations on housing starts and permits resulting from the ongoing labor and material shortages. Despite these countervailing forces, we expect the housing market to remain strong as we head into the end of the year.

COVID: County Focuses Efforts on Unvaccinated continued from front page Anyone who received Johnson & Johnson dose at least two months ago can also receive a booster. Alameda County continues to focus COVID-19 vaccination efforts on residents who are unvaccinated, as 16% of eligible residents are unvaccinated or haven’t received their second dose of a two-dose series. “We want to remind and thank our residents for helping to reduce and prevent the risk of COVID-19 as we gather for holidays and observances,” said County Supervisor Nate Miley in an email. The combination of newly vaccinated residents and rules for face masks could mean indoor requirements could be

lifted. Alameda County Public Health data shows the number of new COVID infections has dropped to 14-day averages not seen since before the summer (currently averaging 1,154 cases). The number of hospital admissions for COVID-19-related infections also decreased significantly over the same period with 81 currently hospitalized, 32 of those in an intensive care unit (ICU). But to remove local indoor mask requirements, Alameda County must for three weeks only see between 20 to 49 new per 100,000 persons within the last 14 days. According to public health data, Alameda County could meet the criteria mid to late December, assuming FDA Emergency Use Authorization of COVID-19

vaccine for children aged 5-to11 years old and more residents getting fully vaccinated after December 10. With flu season coming, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Alameda County also recommend the flu vaccine for everyone over 6 months of age. People may receive the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine at the same visit. Any eligible person seeking a booster shot should consult with their medical provider or access the booster through a chain pharmacy. Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom announced this week measures to help small businesses weather the fallout from COVID-related losses. The governor’s proposal includes

$4 billion in the form of relief grants and $6.2 billion set aside for tax relief. Newsom also announced that business license renewal fees were waived for companies heavily impacted by the pandemic.

BY THE NUMBERS Vaccines Distributed: State – 51,906,771 Alameda County – 2,453,632 Castro Valley – 51,299 Confirmed Cases: State - 4,606,599 Alameda County – 118,289 Castro Valley – 3,681 Deaths: State – 70,884 Alameda County – 1,415 as of October 25, 2021

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

I Applaud HUSD for Closing Strobridge Elementary Editor, I applaud the Hayward Unified School District for finally closing schools, especially Strobridge Elementary, that have been costly to tax payers for years. It is parents, and students no doubt pushed by the adults in the household, who are being selfish and very narrow minded. Sure, it’s tough when a school closes. Just as it was a difficult decision the school district had to make. But facts are facts. 900 million dollars just to keep the walls up and heater running is a ridiculous amount of money the School District and tax payers should have to pay. And future cost? Who could possible estimate. Sometimes tough decisons must be made. But the School District came to the solid, and

High School. She married her best friend, Harry Gomes, in 1950 at St. Elizabeth’s Church and honeymooned at Catalina Island. Angie worked for Oakland Public Schools, College of the Holy Names and Humana Hospital in the Human Resources Department where she proudly earned the “Employee of the Year Award.” She was happiest when she was busy and she was always busy. Her social life included dozens upon dozens of family and holiday dinners where she was known for always having the latest kitchen gadgets and equipment. Her volunteer activities thru the years included the PTA at her children’s schools, Girl Scouts, Chabot Swim Club and time spent helping out at Fairmont Hospital. Angie was very active in her community. Some of her favorites were Sewing Club (over 60 years of meetings!), although in later years, not much sewing was happening, but all the fun, laughs, and good food were had by all. Another of her regular events was the “Cousin’s Lunch.” Angie was fortunate to have a large Italian family that kept in close contact over the years. Dinners at the local Italian clubs provided Angie and Harry with a close community over the years, as well. Another favorite was tennis. She spent a lot of time on the courts. In later years, her knees forced her off of the court, and to take it easier. In later years she enjoyed cruising with her sister, children, and grandchildren to different international ports. She also loved her regular trips to her daughter’s home in Colorado. She will best remembered by her incredible gift to be able to talk to anyone and everyone. Always putting people at ease and engaging complete strangers in a comfortable conversation. Angie is preceded in death by her parents, Bartolomeo and Edith Perata, her in-laws John and Mary Gomes and her husband, Harry. She is survived by her children, Laura Bevins and husband Patrick Tandy, and son Jeff Gomes and wife Tracey.

County-Initiated update to the Alameda County Zoning Ordinance to create an Administrative Minor Use Permit (AMUP) application review process for reviewing uses that may be appropriate in the applicable zone but whose effects on a site and adjacent uses shall be subject to review and approval. The purpose of an Administrative Minor Use Permit is to provide flexibility and to reduce processing times for minor projects that are accessory to and consistent with permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the applicable zoning district. The AMUP permit shall be effective in all Unincorporated Areas of Alameda County where certain types of commercial businesses and community facilities are allowed. The proposed Ordinance is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15061(b)(3) – Review for Exemption: the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
