Alameda County officially opened 34 newly constructed tiny homes last Wednesday to eligible homeless applicants in San Leandro, Castro Valley, and the unincorporated areas to help them get into transitional and supportive housing.

The bright blue and red-colored structures were installed at a designated village at the Fairmont Navigation Center on Foothill Boulevard. The homes are small enough for an adult and as many as two children and feature a bed, a kitchenette, a restroom, and a small dining area. Of the 34 buildings, 28 are standalone, with the remaining six built as a single unit.

In addition, 15 of the homes will be prioritized for those homeless who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or injury on the street but do not require a hospital setting.

“This village will play a crucial role in helping individuals transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing,”

Alameda County officially opened a Tiny Home Village with 34 units at the Fairmont Navigation Center in the unincorporated portion of the County last week.

said Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley. “I’d much rather see the unsheltered getting help and services here than living in parks or on the streets. It’s more dignified for folks.”

The project cost Alameda

County about $8 million, or about $235,000 per unit. Some of the funding came from last year’s federal stimulus program, CARES Act. “This project is another important piece in our county’s efforts to assist people who

are homeless, and a wonderful option for people who can use support in pursuing their health and housing goals,” said Kerry Abbott, Director of the Office of Homeless Care and Coordination at HCSA. see TINY on back page

You may well have a different Alameda County Supervisor in the not-so-distant future.

The Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) heard a bit about possible redistricting at their virtual Monday night meeting.

Casey Farmer of the county’s Community Development Agency explained the basics: Alameda County currently has five superiors representing various districts. Castro Valley is in District 4 under Supervisor Nate Miley’s purview, and he selects the MAC members who advise him.

Miley also represents unincorporated areas of Ashland and Cherryland, while District 3 Supervisor Wilma Chan represents San Lorenzo and Ashland, so both have a hand in what’s going on in the unincorporated area. see MAC on page 4

43 Pounds of Trash Pulled Out of CV Creek

By Mike McGuire

CASTRO VALLEY FORUM

Nearly three dozen volunteers hauled 43 pounds of trash out of Castro Valley Creek near the public library this past weekend, one weekend after a similar event at Carlos Bee Park in Castro Valley drew 30 volunteers to clear out invasive ivy plants there.

Alameda County’s Clean Water Program coordinated both events, partnering with California Coastal Cleanup in the Sept. 18 event and with the Hayward Area Recreation District in the Sept. 11 event at Carlos Bee Park.

Castro Valley Creek also runs through Carlos Bee Park, a bit upstream from Hayward’s Japanese Gardens. The Castro Valley Creek Trail parallels a section of the creek running from Castro Valley Boulevard, near CVS, past the Castro Valley Library on Norbridge Avenue. Signs along the trail highlight key points about the creek’s ecology.

Volunteer Coordinator Jennifer Trevis of the county’s Resource Conservation District, which works alongside the Clean Water Program, said healthy creeks are key to a healthy environment for local see CREEK on page 3

Since 1984, a group of local artists has come together under the name Art Inc. to promote and encourage art in the community. Centered at the Castro Valley Adobe, Art Inc. has created countless opportunities for local artists to exhibit their work.

Favorites for Autumn Appetites

A

s the days get shorter, the nights get colder, and leaves begin littering our sidewalks and yards, it’s time for some delicious seasonal comfort foods.

(NAPSI)—Myths and misinformation, which can spread faster than the virus, are contributing to lower vaccine confidence. Here are answers to common COVID-19 vaccine questions: Q: Do young and healthy people need to get vaccinated?

A: The longer this pandemic goes on, the more evidence there is that COVID-19 can cause long-term health problems, even for people who didn’t have other chronic conditions before they were infected. It is much safer to take a vaccine that is highly effective at preventing COVID-related hospitalizations or death than it is to risk getting a disease that could leave you with a serious health condition for the rest of your life. FDA-authorized and approved vaccines are highly effective at preventing hospitalizations and premature death.

AUTUMN BISQUE 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 2-inch cubes 1 (1.5-pound) trimmed celery root, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes 6 cups chicken broth, skimmed 1/4 teaspoons nutmeg Salt & ground pepper Heat olive oil in a 3-quart pot over medium-high heat.

Add onion, squash and celery root. Sauté, for about 12 minutes until very fragrant, stirring often to avoid scorching. Add stock and simmer, covered, until vegetables are very tender, about 25 minutes. Strain liquid from solids. Return liquid to pot. Purée solids in blender until smooth, then combine with liquid and stir well to combine.

Add nutmeg and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Makes 6 servings.

CHEDDAR CORN CHOWDER

Q: It seems like the COVID-19 vaccines were rushed.

How do we know they’re safe?

A: COVID-19 vaccines are new but people have been using vaccines for centuries. Two COVID-19 vaccines were the first authorized vaccines to use a new technology—messenger RNA—but even that technology has been tested and studied for decades.

Researchers had a head start on COVID-19 vaccines.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health created a vaccine that could be custom made to fight different strains of coronavirus, the virus that causes COVID-19. Using these studies, they were able to make a COVID-19 test vaccine just a month after the virus was discovered.

Vaccines are usually developed one step at a time, and companies wait until they have final approval to start manufacturing. But addressing the pandemic couldn’t wait, so government and industry invested millions of dollars to produce vaccines while test data was under review. FDA authorized the use of three vaccines in response to the pandemic.

Emergency-use authorizations get vaccines distributed faster than the formal FDA approval process without skipping any mandatory safety checks. Large clinical trials proved that the vaccines were safe and effective, and real-world experience has confirmed those findings.

For more information and to find a vaccine, visit www. vaccines.gov.

MAC: District Boundaries

In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon and olive oil until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and butter to the fat, and cook for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and turmeric and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and potatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. (If using frozen corn you can skip this step.)

Add the corn to the soup, then add the half-and-half and cheddar. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot with a garnish of bacon. Yields 1012 servings.

continued from front page Every 10 years when new US Census data is released, the county adjusts the district boundaries as communities grow and change. Right now, there are 1.5 million people in Alameda County and each district should ideally represent around 300,000 residents. The Board of Supervisors itself is responsible for the adoption of new districts and a two-thirds vote is required to approve the adjustments.

Huge adjustments are unlikely, but the public can help drive the process. You can even draw your own district map at http://redistricting2021.acgov. org/.

People can also offer public comment at the next regular Board of Supervisors Meeting on Tuesday, October 12 at noon. A series of meetings on draft maps are set throughout November, while the adoption of final districts is expected at the Board of Supervisors meet-

ing set for December 14.

At Monday’s meeting, the MAC also heard an information item from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office—Office of Emergency Services (OES) regarding AC Alert— which is rapid notification software used to alert residents in the case of emergencies as well as some non-emergency situations such as road closures.

OES encourages every county resident to sign up for the app at acalert.org. MAC Chair Ken Carbone said he sees the “value” in the notification system and offered a bit of constructive criticism- that it be made easier to subscribe to unincorporated area alerts specifically.

“Bring it a little bit more direct to the communities you are serving,” said Carbone.

The next MAC meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 11, at 6:00 p.m. The council will discuss land use issues.

from Citizen Kane to Star Wars. He has also invited colleagues in the industry to come and share their personal stories such as what it was like to be a stop motion animator on films like Jurassic Park.

He will show videos and clips and give students a list of seminal movies to watch at home and discuss in class. For movie buffs who have been missing a sense of community, this class will offer the opportunity to come together in person and gain a deeper appreciation of the magic that happens on screen. Covid protocols will be in place for this in-person class.

CVACE is excited to bring this unique course to Castro Valley along with classes on Apple products, yoga, baking, Italian and more.

REAL ESTATE REALITY

By Carl Medford, CRS

GUEST COMMENTARY

Special to the Times

There is More to Investing Than Meets the Eye

W

hereas real estate investing used to be limited to a few, these days it seems everyone wants in on the action. As seasoned investors know, real deals are hard to find, and the majority of any serious investor’s time is spent looking under every figurative rock to find the next opportunity. Whether looking to buy a property and then hold or flip, an investment must make sense from a number of perspectives. Those who understand the ropes have very specific criteria that each opportunity must meet to be seriously considered.

In most cases, the best prospective investments are not going to be found on the open market.

Veteran real estate investors use a variety of methods to find opportunities, from sending out letters to homeowners who meet specific

criteria, knocking on doors, combing through tax records, court cases, contacting absentee owners and more.

The goal is to find a homeowner who, for a variety of reasons, is willing to sell directly to an investor without going on the open market. This avoids any competition which might drive the price too high. Ideally, investors are also looking to pay substantially less than retail value – the lower the better. While many of the homes found by investors are either in poor condition or significantly dated, some are in decent condition and can be turned or rented immediately.

In contrast, distressed homes frequently show up on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). They boast prices much lower than normal and are labelled “fixer-uppers”

or “contractor specials.” Sellers are hoping to score the highest possible price from inexperienced “investors” anxious to secure a deal. These properties attract lots of attention and frequently end up in bidding wars driving prices higher than experienced investors are willing to pay.

As an example, a Hayward home in poor condition in a neighborhood of $900,000 homes recently listed for $650,000. It was estimated it would take approximately $120,000 to get the home in good condition. 13 offers were received, with a final sales price of $775,000. If the buyer was hoping to flip the home, by the time the commissions were added to the other expenses, the overall investment would be higher than the price the owner could reasonably expect to receive.

Bottom line: there is much more to investing than meets the eye and those who want to become investors had better do some serious homework first.

I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Herbicides will enter plants through the leaves, roots, or both. Washing off the leaves is helpful, but the roots could absorb the contaminated water and cause additional damage depending on the herbicide. Without knowing the herbicide name, it’s impossible to predict what will happen.

IS YOUR HOME PREPARED FOR WET WEATHER? PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY

LEARN MORE!

One important step you can take to prevent damage to your property is to install a backflow pevention system (BPS), consists of a two-way sewer cleanout and a backflow prevention device (BPD).

While you may have a cleanout installed outside the foundation of your house, the addition of a BPD prevents raw sewage from flowing back into your home should there be a blockage in your sewer lateral or in the public sewer main line.

If you have already installed a BPD, check to see if it is functioning properly. Remove any debris or obstructions which affect it. Annual maintenance can ensure that your entire BPS is operating properly for when you will need it the most.

In Castro Valley, a BPS is required on all new structures and is installed when laterals are repaired. A CVSan Repair Permit is required for installation. If you have questions, please contact our Engineering Department at (510) 537-0757.

Art on the Rebound!

SPECIAL TO THE FORUM

Since 1984, a group of local artists has come together under the name Art Inc. to promote and encourage art in the community. Centered at the Castro Valley Adobe, Art Inc., has created countless opportunities for local artists to exhibit their work. Art demonstrations and workshops have also thrived, awakening many an artistic spirit.

For the past almost two years though, art work has been restricted to online exhibits, and Zoom workshops. Gone have been the chances to meet and interact with artists, to view their work and their methods up close and personal in the encouraging ambience of a gallery. As with everything else, the pandemic has impacted the art community.

Now, however, the Adobe is reopening—rebounding, if you will. Real art, viewed first hand in a real gallery, is happening at the Adobe.

On Saturday, September 25, 1-3 pm, a reception—-with refreshments—-will celebrate many talented local artists and their amazing work. Oils, watercolors, photographs, even poetry will be on display between September 25 and Octo-

The Adobe will be open to the public for two weeks— Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11am to 3 pm. That’s September 30 to October 2, and October 7-9.

Come view this marvelous art in person, rebounding just like the rest of us, from a long absence.

First Responders Providing Extraordinary Service

We continually are amazed at the unselfish, heroic deeds done by our First Responders, not looking for any credit!

One of these unselfish, heroic deeds was spotted at 11:12 a.m. on September 20 on the freeway on-ramp at Alvarado Road North on the 880 freeway...

There was a senior citizen female standing out of harms way near her car that had a flat tire. I saw the CHP vehicle and then noticed the CHP officer on her knees safely changing this lady’s tire – just off of the freeway on-ramp!

I could just imagine that this senior citizen got the flat tire and did not have any road service so this kind CHP officer took things into her own hands!

Thank you, officer. I so wish I could have gotten a picture so I could find out which office this marvelous CHP officer was assigned. Your selfless act was an inspiration as well as a reminder how blessed we are to have men and women serving us. Stay safe.

–Bruce D. and Linda Lee Johnson, Castro Valley

individual living spaces. The tiny homes at Fairmont were modeled after six similar-sized units built in the parking lot of the First Presbyterian Church of Hayward on Grove Way. “We worked with Pastor Jake from First Presbyterian on this new village,” Miley said.

“We got ideas from that project and applied it to this one. One thing we are looking at is adding another tiny home village located in the unincorporated area in Castro Valley.”

Unlike the tiny village at First Presbyterian, residents at Fairmont will not pay into a rental-reimbursement program.

Miley also noted that since there are many social services within steps of the Fairmont village that he anticipates a 6-month turnover for the unhoused. First Presbyterian allows for applicants to stay up to 18 months.

The 34 units will increase access to low-barrier interim housing and medical respite for people who are homeless. More than 8,000 people experience homelessness in Alameda County each night, with 79% of this population experiencing unsheltered homelessness on the street, in tents or vehicles.

Skyrocketing rents over the last decade have contributed to homelessness, as more than 80% of those who are currently experiencing homelessness in Alameda County lived here before losing their home.

For every person that exists homeless—three more become homeless,” Miley said. “Clearly, we have to be compassionate.”
