Remembering Janet Armantrout
THE INDEPENDENT
Janet Armantrout, longtime editor of The Independent in Livermore, died in her home from complications of ALS on Aug. 24.
A
graveside service was held Aug. 31 in Corvallis, Ore., for my longtime professional journalism colleague Janet Armantrout, who died the week before at her home in Livermore. She was 77. Janet was the editor of The Independent, a Livermore newspaper she joined in 1964, a year after its founding and just after I started my newspaper career at the Chicago Tribune. We used to reminisce, not always favorably, about the days of typewriters and stiff necks when we held heavy rotary-dial phones to one ear as we typed out notes being phoned in by news sources. According to an obituary in The Independent, Janet, at first, handled production for the paper, pasting ads and laying out the pages for printing. When she demonstrated her writing skills as well, the late Bob Several, then the newspaper’s editor, asked Janet to cover local sports, rewrite press releases and do other editorial duties. Eventually, she began covering the Livermore City Council, sitting in a back-row seat at the oftenlengthy Monday night meetings on a regular basis until complications related to Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) kept her home-bound earlier this year. I first met Janet at a Livermore community meeting shortly after my family and I moved to Pleasanton in 1987, where I had been transferred as the public relations director for a Sunnyvale-based corporation. Always on the lookout for freelance reporters and learning of my newspaper background, she asked me to cover several Pleasanton meetings, assignments that eventually led to me covering city meetings on a regular basis and giving me the opportunity to continue
news writing. I was also probably No. 1 on her list of frustrations as some of my stories were filed right on deadline. Traveling frequently, I would often write those stories on a plane while flying to Midwest or East Coast destinations, never worrying as much as she did over delays caused by weather or traffic. Janet became a family hero when she managed to get tickets to a superstar country singer’s concert. My daughter Jenny was a steadfast fan of Garth Brooks during her high school years. Knowing he was performing in San Jose, Jenny began her campaign to attend this nearly sold-out performance. These tickets were hard to come by, but Janet came to the rescue. Not only did she score tickets, but arranged for a meeting at Garth’s pre-concert press conference. This kind gesture was typical of Janet’s unassuming style. Of course, when we launched the Pleasanton Weekly in January 2000, my freelancing days for The Independent ended, but Janet and I stayed friends, sitting together often as we covered the same city, civic and business meetings. Janet was born on Aug. 13, 1942 in Salt Lake City, the third of seven siblings. Her family later settled in Corvallis, Ore., where she attended Corvallis High School and graduated from Oregon State University. Her death, and the diagnosis itself, came as a surprise to many. Janet continued work until a week before her death, reviewing copy, preparing the community calendar and making editorial decisions while at home under daily care. Responding to her death, Joan Seppala, owner and publisher of The Independent, said, “The pain of losing Janet after 55 years is great, both for me personally and for all who knew her in the community. Although reserved in many ways, when it came to editorial issues, Janet was decisive. She respected both sides of an issue, and was firm in what she thought was fair.” The family of Janet Armantrout has created a Life Tributes page to share memories through the McHenry Funeral Home in Corvallis. These can be sent by email to info@mchenryfuneralhome.com. Q Editor’s note: Jeb Bing is editor emeritus for the Pleasanton Weekly. His “Around Pleasanton” columns typically run on the second and fourth Fridays of every month.

Students in intervention summer program see marked growth, improvement School board also adopts updated budget reflecting 2018-19 unaudited actuals
P
BY JULIA BAUM
rogress and updates from Pleasanton Unified School District’s summer school programs were reviewed by the Board of Trustees on Tuesday night. Enrichment courses and intervention programs offered this past summer at Amador Valley High, Walnut Grove Elementary and the Harvest Park preschool center were reviewed during a staff presentation at the board meeting. A total of 938 students in prekindergarten through 12th grade participated in intervention summer
school this year and evidence showing that “students continued their growth of important skills” in the same program were among the noted highlights presented during the staff report. Teachers “noted that a majority of students were properly placed” this summer, which staff called “an improvement over prior years,” and that all grade levels showed “continued positive behavior.” Students also gave some of their own feedback; some “noted improvement needed in the area of technology, teacher training and academic integrity.”
PUSD’s intervention summer programs continue to experience an “over-representation” of male students, who comprised about 60% of participants this year. “There’s almost a 2-to-1 ratio of male attendees to female attendees in summer school,” said Liz Lyons, vice principal at Lydiksen Elementary. “We do have a few more males who attend the conditional schools in Pleasanton, but I think it is notable to see that shift between the number of boys that are going after extended school year support.” As a counteraction, staff said that
“collaboration with school sites and data collection will take place over the ‘19-20 school year in an effort to better understand the potential causes and to gain insight into instructional and behavioral support strategies that will interrupt the pattern.” More than 600 high school students “successfully completed” credit recovery or grade replacement courses through a “blended format” of online learning and subject area-credentialed instructors.

Tour Senior Center The Pleasanton Senior Center is holding an open house on Tuesday morning (Sept. 17) in recognition of National Senior Center Month. Free and open to all, the event will include the opportunity to tour the center, learn about programs and services offered, sample refreshments and door prizes. The open house is set to run from 10 a.m. to noon at the Senior Center, 5353 Sunol Blvd.
Women’s right to vote The American Association of University Women’s LivermorePleasanton-Dublin Branch invites the public to a luncheon celebrating the 100th anniversary of U.S. women receiving the right to vote, from 12-2 p.m. Sept. 21 at Lynnewood United Methodist Church, 4444 Black Ave. The free luncheon will be a chance for guests to celebrate 100 years of women’s voting rights with AAUW members, learn about branch committees and interest groups, and enjoy camaraderie and a light lunch of tea sandwiches and cookies. The program will feature seventh-grade girls who attended Camp Curie Tech Trek at Stanford University with AAUW support, as well as three young women who graduated from Las Positas College and earned scholarships through 2019 AAUW Foundation grants.

Remembering Annette Langer Longtime PPD volunteer, author lauded as ‘kindest soul anyone could want to know’ BY JEREMY WALSH
The Pleasanton community is mourning the loss of longtime police department volunteer and local author Annette Langer, who died in her home unexpectedly on Sept. 3 after a long battle with cancer, according to her family. She was 75. Pleasanton Police Chief David Spiller confirmed the news in a heartfelt post on the department’s Facebook page that lauded Langer as “a beloved member, a dear friend and the kindest soul anyone could want to know.” “Annette was a kind soul with a servant’s heart, she was a giver and friend to everyone,” Spiller said. “Annette will long be remembered for her quick wit, her many stories and her sense of humor that served to make others in her company so happy.” A recognizable, friendly face representing Pleasanton PD, Langer had recently been cited for logging more than 8,000 volunteer service hours for the department during her 14-year tenure. Her sense of humor was on display in books she published during her retirement years: “Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life!” and “A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World: Diary of a Fearless Travel Agent.” “I just wanted to write something that would help others,” Langer told the Weekly in 2017 during a profile interview. At that time, Langer had just seen another of her short stories picked by the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” franchise. Her fourth contribution to the best-selling book series, Langer’s 2017 anecdote for “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Random Acts of Kindness” highlighted her experience renting a room to a recently hired Pleasanton police officer whose family still lived out of the area. “Out of the Blue, a Family” related offering the officer a place to stay until he and his family found a new home, resulting in Langer forming a bond with the family and becoming the children’s grandmother No. 3, whom they dubbed “GrAnnette.” Langer moved to Pleasanton later in life, in 1998, at the urging of cousins in this area who knew she was looking for a respite from cold

Chicago winters. She had worked a range of assignments in the federal government during a 26-year career, and after an early retirement from the government, she returned to school to become a travel agent — a position that she held for years and that inspired many of her humorous writings. After relocating to Pleasanton in her 50s, Langer became active in the local authors’ scene, including as a member of the California Writers Club. She said she was motivated to support Pleasanton PD after completing the department’s Citizens’ Academy program in 2004, which led her to signing up as volunteer. Her assignments over the years

Steinle, an Amador Valley High School alum who was living in San Kate Steinle Francisco at the time, was pronounced dead at San Francisco General Hospital later that day. She was 32.

The Livermore City Council on Monday reluctantly certified the validity of a petition seeking to repeal the city’s attempted prohibition on the sale of flavored tobacco and agreed to put the issue to a citywide vote on a special ballot during the upcoming primary election. Set for March 3, the special election will ask voters if they want to accept the ordinance adopted by the council during the summer to ban the sale of flavored tobacco within the city limits — or if they oppose the city’s effort, in support of the referendum petition backed by Bay Area-based vapor product company JUUL Labs. “The only people that I have heard from that are in favor of the referendum are the people who are profiting off of the addiction of other people,” Mayor John Marchand reflected during the council meeting. “And as many of you have elegantly said, ‘Do we put profit over the health of our children?’” With an eye on better preventing youth access to vaping products, the council on July 8 adopted an ordinance to ban the sale of flavored tobacco, prohibit the sale of all tobacco products within 1,000 feet of “youth-populated areas,” add new restrictions for businesses selling vaping paraphernalia and establish the city’s first-ever tobacco retailer license program. But before taking effect, the ordinance was subject to a 30day window to be challenged by a referendum petition — which JUUL pursued. Alameda County election officials confirmed the petition cleared the 5,269-signature
threshold needed to force the council’s hand: either repeal the ordinance or put the issue on the ballot. “I am deeply unhappy that we need to certify this given the deceitful way in which signatures were collected,” Councilwoman Trish Munro said during Monday’s public hearing. She called into question the integrity of the petition. Speaking from her own experience, Munro said a referendum petitioner approached her while at the store and lied about the purpose of the petition, claiming it was to prevent underage minors from buying vapor products in vending machines. “The process for bringing citizens’ concerns to the ballot through initiatives or referendums was designed to give power to the people. That’s a good intention that’s been badly twisted and perverted,” she lamented. “With enough money any initiative or referendum will qualify for the ballot ... This referendum was bought and paid for by money earned by dealing death.” Munro said that while lying to gather signatures is a felony, there is little that can be done to enforce the law nor would it invalidate the petition. Representatives from JUUL spoke during Monday’s public comment section and argued that vaping products offer a “tremendous public health opportunity” for people who wanted to quit smoking. “The company’s mission is clear; it is to improve the lives of the world’s 1 billion adult smokers by eliminating cigarettes, and the use of combustible cigarettes is still the leading preventable cause

of death in the United States,” said Jon Berrier, senior director of public affairs at JUUL. He added that while company leaders are in favor of regulating their product to help keep it out of the hands of underage minors, prohibition is a step too far for adults looking to make their own choices. “Let’s be clear: No non-nicotine user, and certainly no one underage, should ever use vapor products,” Berrier added. “It is incumbent on the company to drive aggressive smart and effective regulation to prevent youth access, appeal and ultimately use of vapor products.” Dozens of Livermore residents, including high school and middle school students, spoke in opposition to the referendum, stating that the ordinance offers the most effective way to protect teens from the epidemic of vaping that can be found in local schools. Speakers expressed fears that the flavored vapor pods are specifically targeted at children as a way to inflict them with a life-long addiction early on. They were also doubtful of Berrier’s claim that vaping is a healthy alternative to cigarettes. In addition to individual residents, representatives from health advocacy groups like the American Heart Association and Breathe California, as well as Livermore’s homegrown advocacy groups Flavors Addict Kids-Livermore and Livermore Indivisible spoke in support of the ordinance. “The fact that big tobacco came into Livermore and put our ordinance on hold with a referendum tells us we’re doing the right thing,” Kristie Wang, co-founder of Flavors Addict Kids-Livermore, said in a statement after the meeting. “We believe in this ordinance and want the opportunity to go to the ballot box to show that the citizens of Livermore, when faced with the choice between protecting the health of our children and protecting the profits of big tobacco, we will always choose our kids,” she added. The council voted unanimously at the end of the public discussion to place the issue on citywide ballot for March 3 — which, though a primary election date in California, it is considered a special election for Livermore because its regular municipal elections occur in November. Council members deferred their decision on establishing a tobacco retailer license program until their next meeting, wanting to give community members and city staff more time to investigate how the program would be affected by the referendum.

Commission supports new houses on Stanley, redesign of 7-Eleven/Shell on Hopyard Projects advanced to City Council for approval BY JEREMY WALSH
3987 Stanley Blvd.
The Pleasanton Planning Commission recently gave its endorsement to a pair of small-scale development projects that are due to head to the City Council for consideration in the coming weeks. The first was a homeowner’s proposal to tear down their single-story house and subdivide the parcel with three new houses on Stanley Boulevard, and the second was another property owner’s plan to replace the 7-Eleven store and Shell service station on Hopyard Road with a brand-new 7-Eleven, gas station and drive-thru car wash. Each project’s planned-unit development (PUD) application, which requires final council approval, was advanced with a positive recommendation from the commissioners during their four-hour meeting Aug. 28. The residential subdivision on the outer edge of the downtown is scheduled to go before the council first — next month — while the 7-Eleven/Shell project is due for a public hearing later in the fall, according to city planning manager Ellen Clark.
Applicant Saravana Chilla seeks permission to demolish the 940-square-foot house and associated outbuildings at 3987 Stanley Blvd. (aka “Old” Stanley Boulevard), a rectangular parcel in the downtown neighborhood not far from where First Street turns into Stanley Boulevard. The proposal then calls for subdividing the parcel into three lots, each with a detached, two-story house, along with onsite improvements such as tree plantings, new infrastructure and a shared private driveway to connect the residential lots. The property is zoned and designated for high-density residential City staff supports the project, saying the architectural design, proposed density, lot configuration and other elements are in line with General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan policies and objectives, as well as fits with the surrounding neighborhood. The city did hear neighbor concerns about adding two-story houses where a single-story home currently stands, mainly for privacy reasons.
The commission voted 4-0 to advance the project to the council with a modified condition of approval to require larger initial tree plantings to improve initial screening, according to Clark. Commissioner Jack Balch recused from the discussion; Commissioner Herb Ritter was absent, so alternate Brandon Pace was elevated to a full voting position that night.
7-Eleven/Shell Applicant Brad Hirst, on behalf of property owner Anabi Real Estate Development LLC, wants city approval to tear down the existing 7-Eleven convenience store, smog check building and Shell service station at 3760 and 3790 Hopyard Road, at southwest corner of the Hopyard Road intersection with West Las Positas Boulevard. The two adjoining lots, which total 0.91 acres, would then be combined into a single, reconfigured parcel with a new 7-Eleven convenience store, drive-thru car wash and a new Shell gas station canopy. The proposal calls for the convenience store to be open 24
hours a day and the ability to sell alcohol — it would become the sixth gas station store in Pleasanton to sell beer and wine, according to city staff. The car wash would operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The new operations would require the site to be rezoned from neighborhood commercial to PUD-commercial. Among the site improvements proposed is removing the current driving aisle between the 7-Eleven site and the neighboring Church in Pleasanton parcel. Church representatives had raised concerns to city officials about loitering, 7-Eleven patron parking
and delivery trucks in the church lot. City staff said they think the proposals to remove the shared driving lane, along with adding a new fence between the properties, will alleviate those problems. The commission voted 5-0 to recommend the project to the council, with modified permit conditions of allowing a 40 footwide driveway, requiring higherquality concrete roofing material, and requiring a five-foot fence on top of the 18-inch retaining wall and improved landscaping on north side of property to minimize foot traffic between sites, according to Clark.

SCHOOL BOARD Continued from Page 5
The average grade for all courses was 76% or a C, according to the report. Since 2016, 42% of students in grades K-8 were enrolled in summer school for at least two of those four years. Another third were enrolled in three of the past four years, and 15% had attended every single
year during that time with the exception of students in the extended school year program. Students took advantage of the district’s 14 enrichment classes this summer such as algebra readiness, graphic design, video production, culinary arts and STEAM courses. Several areas for improvement that staff will focus on over the coming year include planning to “work with site leadership and
intervention specialists to clarify intervention pathways” and “continue to coordinate wrap-around services for our most vulnerable students.” Staff also reported that peer tutoring was “one of the most treasured components of summer school,” where high school students applied to be tutors. “They were dutiful and attentive,” said staff, who added that “it really was a powerful experience ... to be part of the mainstream classroom” for students who came from alternative education programs. The intervention summer programs budget was approximately $542,877. Funding came from the PUSD general fund, Local Control and Accountability Plan, Title I, special education, fees and donations.

The board also received a report Tuesday on the district’s unaudited actuals, which included PUSD’s actual revenues, expenditures and fund balances for the 2018-19 school year. Under state law, the district is required to annually submit those statements to both the California Department of Education and the Alameda County Office of Education. Among the update, the district’s general fund ending balance for fiscal year 2018-19 is $26,417,508, according to public documents. Of that total, $11,016,568 is
“unassigned/unappropriated” and $4,980,140 is designated “other assignments.” More than $5 million-plus is accounted for legally restricted balances, which are unspent balances of specific types of entitlements such as state categorical funds and local contributions from the Parent Teacher Association and Parent Faculty Club. Another $211,612 consists of revolving cash, prepaid expenditures and stores inventory. The district’s 3% economic uncertainties reserve is currently resting at $5,186,245; their goal is to eventually achieve a 9% reserve. That number could rise to 4.3%, should the trustees direct the district to contribute up to 20% of the unassigned ending balance. For this year, that would add another $2.2 million to the reserve, for a total balance of $7.4 million. Meanwhile, PUSD’s cafeteria fund “continues to be self-sustaining with no contributions from the general fund,” while the deferred maintenance fund used about $800,000 in expenditures and the district bond fund had $7.3 million in expenditures The current cost of classroom compensation for the 2018-19 school year is 63.92% of total expenditures. The board approved the unaudited actuals budget report 3-0. Trustees Joan Laursen and Mark Miller were both absent that evening. Q

Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers sought for Tri-Valley cities Nearly 43,000 lbs of garbage fished out of local waterways since 2017 BY JULIA BAUM
Tri-Valley communities are looking for volunteers for the 35th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day next Saturday (Sept. 21), the largest statewide effort to preserve coastlines and clean up local creeks. The communities of Dublin and Livermore both are planning to pick up rubbish and debris from area waterways as part of
the yearly event, which also aligns with the eighth annual Creeks to Bay Clean-up. Sections of the Arroyo Mocho, Arroyo Las Positas and Altamont Creek in Dublin and Livermore will be targeted during the cleanup effort. Living Arroyos, which partners with the Zone 7 Water Agency, Livermore Area Recreation and Park District and the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton
to protect and maintain urban streams, will host the event once again. Over the past two years, around 500 volunteers have collected nearly 43,000 pounds of trash and almost 5,000 pounds of recyclables from local creeks and rivers. In addition to enhancing the beauty of the community, the cleanup also improves water quality and local wildlife habitats.
Volunteers in Dublin will meet that day around 9 a.m. at Emerald Glen Park near the basketball courts over by Gleason Drive, where they will receive instructions and be served a light breakfast before heading out to clean any of the four creek areas slated for cleanup. The group will then reconvene at the park and end the event with a midday pizza lunch.
Livermore volunteers will meet at one of several spots, depending which site they sign up to work at. A signed waiver is required to participate and children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult for the event. For more information including meeting locations and how to register, contact Joseph Steelman at jsteelman@larpd.org or Living Arroyos at www.livingarroyos.org. Q

rags beneath his chair, picked it up briefly and threw it into the bay when it fired and he realized it was a gun. State prosecutors have contended he intentionally pulled the trigger. Garcia-Zarate is charged in federal court in San Francisco with two counts of being an ex-felon in possession of a gun and an undocumented person in possession of a gun. He is scheduled to go on trial on those charges in the court of U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria on Jan. 13, following jury selection beginning on Jan. 7. But the minutes of a status conference held before Chhabria on Aug. 27 suggest that a plea bargain may be under negotiation. The minutes say, “The parties are working towards a resolution,” but say both sides were prepared to set a trial date. Each of the two federal counts carries a possible maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if Garcia-Zarate is convicted. In the separate state case, a threejudge panel of the state Court of Appeal on Aug. 30 overturned Garcia-Zarate’s sole conviction in a 2017 San Francisco Superior Court trial. The conviction was for a state charge of being an ex-felon in possession of a gun. The jury acquitted him of additional charges of murder, manslaughter and assault with a gun. The appeals court said the trial judge failed to instruct jurors that the doctrine of momentary possession — or holding an illegal item for just a moment before disposing
of it — could be a defense against the gun possession charge. Justice Sandra Margulies wrote for the court, “We conclude it is reasonably probable at least one juror may have reached a different conclusion if the jury had been instructed on the momentary possession charge.” Garcia-Zarate was sentenced for the gun conviction in January 2018 to the 2-1/2 years already served while awaiting trial, and was then taken into federal custody to face the U.S. charges. U.S. Attorney Dave Anderson said in a statement last week, “The state (appeals) court ruling has no legal effect on the federal prosecution, which will continue. A repeatedly deported, previously convicted felon has no right to possess a firearm under federal law, even if California extends him sanctuary.” Other allegations are that GarciaZarate was previously deported five times following convictions for illegal reentry and drug crimes. He was released from San Francisco jail in April 2015 after a marijuana-selling charge was dropped. Federal authorities were not notified because of San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy limiting communication between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials. The gun with which Steinle was killed was stolen four days earlier from the SUV of an off-duty U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger. San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon could retry GarciaZarate on the state gun charge. Spokespersons for his office were not available for comment last week. Q —Bay City News Service

‘Red, White and You Gala’ to benefit troops Funds to pay for Pleasanton Military Families care packages BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI
Dine and dance the night away with Pleasanton Military Families at this year’s “Red, White and You Gala: An Evening Under the Stars,” being held next Saturday (Sept. 21) at Barone’s Restaurant.
Guests will enjoy a four-course dinner and dancing to the live music of Purple Plum with Lara Price. The gala, which is being held to help with the cost of the care package program, will include a silent auction including items from golf courses, restaurants, downtown merchants and a three-day stay at a Tahoe vacation home. Pleasanton Military Families sends an average of 700 boxes per year at a cost of $18.45 per box, which is more than $12,000 a year, and it depends on donations of goods and money to assist in paying for postage. “Our families work throughout the year at fundraising in order to provide assistance to our veterans and to continue sending care packages,” president Pat Frizzell said. The group was founded in 2003
to support Tri-Valley family members with sons, daughters, husbands, wives and friends in the military. “We conduct monthly support meetings, homecoming celebrations and work with veterans adjusting to civilian life,” Frizzell said. “We also provide volunteer services to multiple veteran organizations and send care packages four times a year to active military personnel deployed throughout the world.” The gala dinner will be from 6-10 p.m., and cocktail attire is suggested. Last year’s gala was the first, and due to its success, the organization is holding it for the second year. Tickets are $102.70; $27 is tax deductible.

Community Pulse POLICE BULLETIN Former Foothill star, NFL prospect arrested in $1M robbery ring Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley announced last week that her office has charged 12 people, including a National Football League hopeful from Pleasanton, in a widespread crime ring that targeted UPS and FedEx drivers delivering cellphones to cellphone stores. Isaiah Langley, 23, who starred on the football team of Foothill High School in Pleasanton and the University of Southern California, was taken into custody in Lake Forest, Ill., on Aug. 31 and is expected to be brought to Alameda County for arraignment on felony charges at a future date, prosecutors said. Langley, a two-way player at Foothill who stood out as a cornerback at USC, signed a preseason contract as an undrafted free agent with the Oakland Raiders on June 11 but was cut on Aug. 9. The Indianapolis Colts signed him two days later but waived him on Aug. 31, the day he was arrested. O’Malley announced on Sept. 5 that Langley was among 12 defendants charged with multiple separate robberies and grand thefts for allegedly engaging in a total of 61 robberies between Dec. 6, 2018 and Aug. 21 that netted about $1 million. Several men and women were arrested in Oakland, San Leandro, Pittsburg and other locations on Aug. 29 following an extensive investigation that spanned four months and involved 31 cities and 10 counties throughout Northern and Central California, prosecutors said. O’Malley said there are warrants for the arrest of four additional defendants who remain at large. In addition, six guns were seized, including an assault rifle, along with two illegal ammunition magazines, stolen property from the thefts and other physical evidence. According to O’Malley, beginning in December the suspects preyed on UPS and FedEx delivery drivers as they delivered merchandise to cellphone stores. According to probable cause statements filed by law enforcement officers, the suspects would rush the drivers as they approached the stores with boxes of merchandise, grab the boxes and run to vehicles that displayed paper dealer plates. “These bold robberies endangered the victims as well as the communities in which they took place,” O’Malley said in a statement. “I am dedicated to ensuring that each participant in this criminal enterprise is brought to justice.”
In other news • Federal prosecutors in San Francisco last week announced criminal charges against 28 people, including 13 doctors and a Livermore woman who led two home health care companies, in a kickback scheme. “This is a cash for patients scheme,” U.S. Attorney David Anderson said at a news conference. Federal complaints unsealed Sept. 5 allege the two Hayward-based companies led by CEO Ridhima Singh, 33, of Livermore, paid doctors and other professionals $6 million in cash and $2 million in phony medical director fees and also gave luxury items such as Golden State Warriors tickets in exchange for Medicare patient referrals. The companies are Amity Home Health Care Inc., the largest home health provider in the Bay Area, and Advent Care Inc., which provides hospice care. The referrals brought the companies $115 million in Medicare payments, the U.S. attorney said. Anderson said there are no allegations that the patients didn’t need the care or that the care was of poor quality. Rather, the charges are for financial fraud in referring patients to those particular companies. The defendants are accused of violating a law that makes it a crime to give or receive bribes or kickbacks for furnishing federally funded health care services. The maximum sentence upon conviction is 10 years in prison. Singh, the CEO of both companies, is also accused of tampering with a witness and lying to FBI agents who interviewed her in January. Those two counts carry possible maximum sentences of 20 and five years in prison if she is convicted. Anderson said 12 defendants
including Singh were arrested during the last 24 hours. They made initial appearances before U.S. Magistrate Joseph Spero on Sept. 5 and were instructed to return to court at various dates for identification of their defense lawyers or setting of future court dates. Singh was ordered to return next Monday for further consideration of conditions of her release and representatives of the two companies are due for an initial appearance on the same date. In addition to Singh and 13 doctors, the individual defendants include five nurses, a social worker, a case manager, an Amity employee and six people known as marketers, who acted as intermediaries between doctors and the companies. The physicians charged included Bhupinder Bhandari, 59, of Pleasanton; the other doctors hailed from Oakland, San Jose, Union City, Los Gatos, Cupertino and Milpitas. The investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Health and Human Services Department lasted several years and made use of three confidential informants and an undercover FBI agent who posed as a representative of investors who wanted to acquire a rival company and gain more patients through kickbacks, according to the complaint filed in Singh’s case. • A driver followed an 11-year-old girl riding her bicycle and tried to lure her into his car near the Vintage Hills neighborhood midday last Saturday, according to Pleasanton police. The girl immediately cycled away and contacted her father, who in turn called police, according to Sgt. Steven Ayers. The prowler had not been located as of press time Wednesday.

December 9, 1943 – September 3, 2019 Annette Langer passed away unexpectedly at her home in Pleasanton on Tuesday, September 3 after a long battle with cancer. A loving sister, aunt, and cousin, dedicated community member, author, and friend to many, Annette brightened the lives of everyone she knew. Annette was born in Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Alvernia High School and Loyola University Chicago. Following a rewarding career in Chicago with the Federal Government — in jobs from court reporter to office manager — she became a travel agent, a career she enjoyed for many years. She traveled frequently with her mother Ann M. Langer, and together they visited all seven continents. Annette relocated to California in 1997. She was a parishioner at the Catholic Communities of Pleasanton and a member of the California Writers Club and the Tri-Valley Writers Club. Annette is the author of two books — Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life! and A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World: Diary of a Fearless Travel Agent, and many short stories that were published in anthologies including the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Demonstrating her firm commitment to community service, Annette was a police volunteer with the Pleasanton Police Department, contributing more than 8000 hours of service over 14 years. Pleasanton Police Chief David Spiller paid tribute to Annette on social media, saying “Our Police Department family has lost a beloved member, a dear friend and the kindest soul anyone could want to know.” Annette is survived by her sister Dolores Jordan Cannon (Niel) of Glenside, PA, cousins Vladimir Langer (Carol) of Tucson, AZ, Paul Langer (Carolyn) of Pleasanton, CA, and Brandon Langer (Michelle) of The Woodlands, TX, nieces Elizabeth Dooley (Bret) of Short Hills, NJ, Kieran Jordan (Vincent) of Boston, MA, Cathleen Jordan Rubin (Marc) of Erdenhein, PA and great nephews Matthew, Sean and Ryan Dooley, and great niece and nephew Julianne and Ian Rubin.

In a post titled “Great Arrest” on the Pleasanton PD’s Facebook page, officials said the case unfolded around 2 a.m. Sept. 3 after a resident on Bonita Avenue heard the sound of breaking glass outside her house, looked outside and saw two shadowy figures with flashlights near a vehicle. The resident called police and watched the strangers walk up the street while a car followed slowly behind with its headlights turned off, police said. Multiple Pleasanton PD officers arrived and stopped a silver Kia Forte with Florida license plates (a rental), still driving with no headlights, the department said. Three occupants were detained: an 18-year-old man from Richmond and two 17-yearolds, one from Richmond and the other from Hercules. Additional investigation revealed property had been taken from at least 12 different vehicles in the area in smash-and-grab thefts early that morning, with the stolen items found inside the Kia, police said.

THE OPINION OF THE WEEKLY
I
t’s a shame Livermore has to go up against Big Tobacco, with its deep pockets and dedicated spin doctors, in the city’s effort to protect children. On Monday, the Livermore City Council decided to put a referendum on the March 2020 ballot that seeks to overturn an ordinance that would ban sales of all flavored tobacco products and seriously restrict businesses selling electronic smoking devices. The cost to Livermore taxpayers to put it on the ballot is still unknown, but will more than likely be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Shortly after the ordinance was unanimously approved by the City Council in June, JUUL Labs, the dominant e-cigarette company, responded with a petition-signing campaign seeking a referendum. Vaping is, unfortunately, very popular with teens in the TriValley and around the country. For example, the 2017-18 Healthy Kids survey found that 30% of Livermore 11thgraders have used electronic nicotine devices (ENDs) such as electronic cigarettes. The Pleasanton school district’s 2017-18 Healthy Kids survey shows the same 30% of Pleasanton 11th-graders have used ENDs. The popularity has increased dramatically in a short amount of time. The question about ecigarettes wasn’t even included in the 2016-17 Healthy Kids survey. Tobacco use by teens had significantly decreased over the past few years, which led many parents, politicians and public health advocates to accuse JUUL of specifically targeting teens and fueling a vaping craze to create lifelong customers. The products do appear to be designed for and marketed to youths. The tobacco is flavored to make it more palatable. There are more than 15,500 flavors of tobacco such as gummy bear, mint, creme brulee, cotton candy and strawberry.
Marketing strategies include heavy use of social media, advertisements featuring young people and free-taste parties. Seeing this startling trend among young people, the Pleasanton Unified School District trustees wisely approved a recent resolution forbidding tobacco and vaping devices on its campuses and during school-related activities. They also encouraged the Pleasanton community to come together to ensure the health of its young people. Although marketed as a better alternative to traditional cigarettes because it has fewer toxic and carcinogenic chemicals, vaping is still dangerous. Just last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that as many as 450 cases of serious lung
disease have been linked to e-cigarette use. And tobacco contains nicotine, an addictive chemical that immediately alters the biochemistry of the body and brain. According to Dr. Jonathan Winickoff, a Harvard Medical School professor of pediatrics and a tobacco control researcher, “For young people, nicotine addiction can cause substantial damage to the developing brain, including lasting impairment to memory and attention span, and increased psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety.” Parents, educators and health-care providers know
vapor is dangerous — especially for young people. It is unfortunate that an action taken by the city of Livermore at the behest of the residents is being challenged by people driven solely by financial gain. Even more unfortunate is that the taxpayers will foot the bill. Making flavored tobacco and vaping devices less accessible to teens is a laudable effort. We appreciate that the Livermore council didn’t roll over and repeal the ordinance with the threat of going up against a well-funded behemoth like JUUL. Now, Livermore’s residents will get to decide.

Lunafest to feature women’s films Danville event will benefit ‘She’s All That!’ BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI
Lunafest — a chance to enjoy short films produced by women — is coming to Danville next week. The festival, named after sponsor Luna Bar, features eight diverse
films made by women. The traveling event started in 2000 in California and has gradually grown until this year’s chosen works will be shown in 190 cities across the country. “It’s about giving women the
opportunity to tell their stories and opening the door for filmmakers who might not otherwise be given the chance to show their art,” said Kit Crawford, founder of Luna Bar. Lunafest tries to even out the percentage of female directors, noting on its website that there are 2.13 male short-film directors for every

Residents, PUSD staff work to make schools food allergy friendly BY RYAN J. DEGAN
T
he peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a longtime staple of lunch for the American elementary school student. But what has been a tasty school snack for one student can mean a death sentence for another. Researchers from Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) estimate that up to 15 million Americans have food allergies, including 5.9 million children under age 18 — that’s one in 13 children, or roughly two in every classroom — and to help keep kids safer, parents, schools, state leaders and students themselves are pitching in to make school environments a safe place to eat. Doing its part to counter the growing concerns and to help make students with dietary restrictions feel more welcome at school, the Pleasanton Unified School District has started working to create “inclusive cafeterias” in its schools. “I am new to Pleasanton Unified, but in my previous district, I spoke with many parents whose students just wanted to feel normal, and be able to eat in the cafeteria but felt isolated because they or their parents
felt nervous that their meal allergens or aversion would not be taken seriously or could not be accommodated,” said Kelsey Perusse, a registered dietitian nutritionist and coordinator of the PUSD’s Child Nutrition Service Department. “Our priority is creating an environment where students, and their parents, feel encouraged and welcomed into the cafeteria,” she added. Perusse explained that the her department is working so that schools will be supplied with tasty meals that can be enjoyed by all students, and those with allergies do not have to be as worried when they head into the cafeteria. Children with meal accommodation forms are given meals that meet their needs, and special products are brought in

Drivers For Survivors Nonprofit gives cancer patients rides to treatments — and companionship BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI
No cancer patient should have to worry about a ride to chemotherapy, believes Sherry Higgs, founder and executive director of Drivers For Survivors. “When somebody is going through treatment, they shouldn’t have to be begging for a ride,” she said. “They are already struggling.” Higgs was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in February 2010 at the age of 43. “At first they thought it was an infection, but then they knew immediately it was not only cancer but one of the most aggressive,” she said. “It was a long year, filled with everything you can imagine — multiple surgeries, chemo — and I was not allowed to drive.” “I saw people taking public transportation or alone in the lobby,” she remembered. “I could see the anxiety: They would be skimming a magazine, putting it down, picking it up and putting it down again.” After her year of treatment, Higgs wanted to do something positive for others facing cancer. She decided to focus on transportation needs and started Drivers For Survivors. The group first emphasized the transportation aspect but it soon became clear that companionship plays a key role. “We actually do a questionnaire so we know the interests of the clients and the volunteers,” Higgs said. “We have a unique companionship factor — and it is free.” Cancer survivor Paulina Sternfeld had to go frequently to Stanford Medical Center for
radiation and her close relatives could not get off work so she turned to Drivers For Survivors. She and her driver, Jane Bueno, appear in a promotional video on www.DriversForSurvivors.org. “We have a lot of things in common, and we have laughed so much,” Sternfeld said. “We go together to lunch, so in this moment I forget about the cancer. I come home a little bit lighter.” “I am retired and I wanted to help in some way. And I like to drive,” Bueno said. “We just clicked the first day.” Cancer treatments can be intensive, Higgs said, with clients requiring six to 20 rides per month. Once she decided on her mission, she began to create a business plan. “I’m a natural trouble shooter,” said Higgs, who worked for 15 years as a Fortune 500 company account executive. “I had sit-downs with various community members in 2011.” “Transportation nonprofits are one of the most challenging because you are dealing with the liability factor,” she noted. She attended events and forums, giving talks, and people responded, suggesting likeminded organizations and individuals who might help. Drivers for Survivors began in December 2012 in Fremont, Newark and Union City and expanded service areas to Hayward, San Leandro, Castro Valley and San Lorenzo in 2017. It has served 527 people, giving more than 19,147 rides, and working with more

than 200 medical providers. It provides rides to within 60 miles of the office’s Fremont ZIP code, 94538. Funding comes from the Alameda County Transportation Commission, through Measure B and Measure BB tax dollars; Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310, Eden Health District, charitable individuals, organizations, and businesses. In July, Drivers For Survivors came to the TriValley, and Higgs is meeting with local medical providers and talking to service clubs to spread the word and find drivers and donations. Clients find them through medical providers, friends and paratransit services, and fill out a physician statement that is signed by their oncology team.
“Sometimes they call to tell me their appointments, sometimes we call the provider when the schedule is not clear,” administrative director Deasy Lai said. “Sometimes the doctor’s office calls us.” See DRIVERS on Page 21

Guest Opinion: Concussions and youth Stay current on traumatic brain injury for children and teens BY DR. ALICE CHA
A lot of parents and coaches are familiar with that sudden “thump” when their child or player hits their head. Whether it occurs when a child falls on the playground unexpectedly or when the ball inadvertently hits a player’s head, the injury can be significant. Unlike medical professionals, athletic trainers and parents are really the first responders in this situation. While severe head injury becomes readily apparent, mild traumatic brain injury — or concussion — can be difficult to identify and treat. Becoming familiar with this topic becomes crucial to working with medical professionals for the care of the injury and to making joint decisions on returning the child or player back to activity. Traumatic brain injury is defined as a blunt-force injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain or any injury that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. In 2014, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that there are approximately 2.87 million traumatic braininjury-related emergency room visits and 56,800 deaths related to traumatic brain injury, including 2529 cases that were children. Unlike adults, children and adolescents up to 18 years old are particularly vulnerable because of their incompletely developed brain.
Dr. Alice Cha
Female athletes are 1.4 times more susceptible to mild traumatic brain injury than male athletes. In addition to the well-known consequences of impairments in thinking, memory, movement and sensation, head injury may even lead to personality changes or depression. Some cases have increased risk for degenerative brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. Most daunting may be the unpredictable onset of these effects, which may occur weeks or months later. This speaks to the
importance of close and persistent monitoring at home and school by parents and coaches alike. When head injury happens, the child or adolescent should be immediately removed from sports or play until cleared by a medical professional. “Removal from play” for at least seven days for youths in youth sport organizations has been a California state law since January 2017. It’s based on the fact any repeat concussion while the brain is healing from the first injury may be fatal. When medical professionals evaluate an injured child, they use a symptom scale that is stratified by their age group. They look for symptoms that are largely divided into four categories: physical, emotional, cognitive and sleep abnormalities. They will refer the patient to specialists if further neurocognitive testing is indicated. Unlike years ago, when “resting” was the foundation of treatment, long recovery time in a dark room is discouraged in CDC’s first published pediatric guideline on mild traumatic brain injury, in 2018. It advises a gradual return to low-impact activities after two to three days of rest. Then, with tolerance, the child should gradually start light aerobic activity, continuing to moderate activity, and, finally, regular activity. It should be pointed out that the CDC identifies children with lower cognitive ability, neurological or psychological disorders, learning disability and even social stressors to be at greater risk for delayed recovery. Parents and coaches should pay special attention to these groups and enroll them in active rehabilitation as needed.
The bottom line is that traumatic brain injury not only requires medical professional evaluation and removal from play, but symptom-monitoring and a return-to-play plan should be an intimate collaboration between parents, coaches, and healthcare providers. CDC’s “HEADS UP” campaign provides great resources on how to approach this. Q Editor’s note: Dr. Alice Cha is a hospitalist at Stanford Health Care-ValleyCare and a clinical assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University. She is also the co-director for Stanford ValleyCare Clinical Academy, a two-week summer program for high school students interested in medicine as a career. Learn more from the ValleyCare Charitable Foundation at vccharitable@ stanfordhealthcare.org or 373-4560.
It’s the law California’s new law requires an athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or other head injury in an athletic activity to be immediately removed from the athletic activity for the remainder of the day, and the athlete shall not be permitted to return to any athletic activity until he or she is evaluated by a licensed healthcare provider. The athlete shall not be permitted to return to athletic activity until he or she receives written clearance to do so from a licensed health-care provider. If the licensed healthcare provider determines that the athlete sustained a concussion or other head injury, the athlete shall also complete a graduated return-toplay protocol of no less than seven days in duration under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider.

to ensure that students with allergies are given options similar to what their peers are eating. Another helpful tactic is eliminating allergens in meals where they will not be missed. For example, Perusse says there are a lot of great gluten-free options that are being produced that would “not be missed by the students without allergies, but would just make it that much easier for a student with a wheat or gluten allergy to join us in the cafeteria.�
‘We are here for the students, and we want them to feel welcome and nourished when they come to the cafeteria.’ Kelsey Perusse, PUSD child nutrition coordinator
“Again, it will take time, but our thought is simple. We are here for the students, and we want them to feel welcome and nourished when they come to the cafeteria,� she added. “The beauty of food is that it brings people together. So the greatest concern about allergies is how do we best create a menu where all students feel welcome, and this we are working on.� To help accommodate and protect their
students with food allergies, the PUSD’s Health Services Department has a series of policies in place such as equipping school sites with EpiPens, conducting staff training on food allergy management including EpiPen administration, and conducting food allergy awareness presentations in classrooms. “It’s an epidemic that is growing so we are really hoping to get the school district on board with implementing policies that keep our children safe,� Tara Gilad, a mother of a child with a severe nut allergy in the San Ramon Valley, told the Weekly. After discovering their daughter’s allergy and wanting to find safe healthy food alternatives to provide her and people who have similar severe allergies, Gilad and her husband Roy in 2011 founded the San Ramonbased “superfood cafe� Vitality Bowls. “It was really scary. Being a first-time mom as well, it was really scary. We were afraid to feed here until I started making her her own baby food and canning it and storing it and I ended up starting a business because of it. That’s why we started Vitality Bowls... we took a really negative scary situation and turned it into a very positive situation.� Gilad has also been working with the principal of Alamo Elementary School, in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, to make her daughter’s school safer for all kids, an effort she hopes will expand to other schools in the region. Key aspects of creating an allergy-safe school include installing nutfree tables, setting up hand sanitizer stations that students can use before and after eating, and encouraging parents to not bring potentially deadly foods such as nuts to school.

“The students are amazing. I volunteered every day for the first month of school to see what the reaction was and the students are very sweet and they want to sit with their friends at nut-free tables. They make sure their parents do not pack them nuts,� Gilad added. At the state level, State Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) passed AB 1532 “The Natalie Giorgi Sunshine Act,� in remembrance of 13-year-old Danville resident Natalie Giorgi, who died in 2013 after a severe reaction to a peanut allergy while at summer camp.
Signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in July, AB 1532 requires that all food handlers have certification in safe food handling practices for major food allergens, ensuring that food handlers will be versed in things like cross-contamination and how to properly deal with a customer’s allergies. “After learning of Natalie’s heartbreaking story and meeting with her parents and their foundation, I was inspired to act to ensure this never happens to another child,� said Bauer-Kahan. “An hour of a food handler’s time could literally save lives.� Q

Lazarex gives options to cancer patients Danville foundation helps cancer patients find and pay for clinical trials BY RYAN J. DEGAN
Danville’s Lazarex Cancer Foundation knows that having a loved one who has been diagnosed with cancer is a challenging crisis that can only be exacerbated when the patient hears “there is nothing more we can do” — or worse, “there is something we can do, but your insurance won’t cover the treatment.” For individuals who have heard those phrases, the Lazarex Cancer Foundation will step in to help, armed with both financial support and a wealth of information. Founded in 2006, Lazarex helps cancer patients and their families by informing them about potential clinical trials that can benefit not only them but the scientific community, and helping patients financially by covering travel and other expenses related to taking part in a clinical trial. In 2018 alone, Lazarex provided financial assistance to 538 cancer patients and offered navigation guidance to an additional 118. “When your oncologist says to you ‘I’m sorry there’s nothing more we can do’ we want them to be able to say ‘these are your other options,’” said Karen Ambrogi, communications manager at Lazarex. Ambrogi explained that while only 3% to 5% of eligible cancer patients participate in clinical trials — and only 5% of participants
belong to racial or ethnic minority groups — 48% of clinical trials fail due to lack of patient enrollment, and one of the biggest contributors to these low numbers are financial barriers patients face. “From a patient perspective, which is where I tend to live, I went through all this with my husband (Mike) 15 years ago. I went through the diagnosis of you have three months to live there’s nothing more we can do for you,” said Erin Miller, Lazarex’s development manager. “We ended up finding a trial ourselves with my sister (Dana Dornsife) who founded Lazarex. We found the trial and my husband (Mike) said ‘no I’m not going to go because I’m not willing to spend all of my savings on a maybe’ and then my family pitched in and we were able to go and he was able to live for 19 months,” Miller added. “And it doesn’t seem like a lot of time, but it’s everything.” Mike Miller’s experience with the financial strains of a cancer diagnosis led to the founding of Lazarex, as a way to help individuals and families who are going through similar challenges by reimbursing them for costs associated with travel such as cross-country flights, lodging in hotels, gas and bus fare. But financial assistance is not all that Lazarex offers; public outreach to physicians and patients about options, and lifting barriers to

improve the participation of minority populations and underserved communities are also key objectives of the foundation. To help improve the number of people who participate in clinical trials, with a particular focus on minority populations, Lazarex has launched its IMPACT (IMproving Patient Access to Cancer Clinical Trials) program, a three-year national program that removes financial barriers to entry, improve participant retention, minority participation and recruitment. In 2013 Lazarex partnered with Massachusetts General Hospital to conduct a threeyear experimental study of the program and
achieved a 29% increase in overall participation and doubled minority participation in cancer clinical trials. “The No. 1 reason why people don’t participate is because they can’t afford the travel expenses to the clinical trials. So by helping medically underserved people of whatever color they may be, we tend to increase diversity just by its nature because there is a disproportionate number of minority people who are socioeconomically stressed,” Miller added.

The evening will include a cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres, dinner and dessert, a live auction by Damon Casatico, some of the best wines the Tri-Valley has to offer, Lazarex’s signature ice luge, dancing and an inspirational message from a Lazarex patient. “We like to bring in new people who haven’t supported us before because we know there are a huge amount of people out here who have been touched by cancer just in our local community, and just sort of celebrate,” Ambrogi said. “You know we have a limited time on this planet... The spirit of the gala is about treasuring moments of life and (that) every day counts.” Single tickets cost $300, or purchase a
leisurely walk with friends and family. Medals will be awarded, and refreshments will be provided at the end of the walk/run. For more information or to download pledge forms, visit the website or contact Christine at 667-2707. Q

Blake Kenney and nurses at Stanford Health Care-Valley Care Urgent Care are pleased that young patients can receive donated books, thanks to his Eagle Scout project.
New chapter for urgent care Scout leads project to provide books for children, teens BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI
Young patients at Stanford Health CareValley Care’s Urgent Care may find their visits a little less stressful, thanks to Blake Kenney’s Eagle Scout project. Kenney, a member of Boy Scout Troop 908 and a freshman at Amador Valley High, is an avid reader and knows the comfort and distraction books can provide, and he also wanted to share his love of reading. So for his project, he organized the collection of about 360 books for children and teens for the two urgent care sites. He also raised $495 that will be used to buy more books when they are needed. “We’re so grateful that Blake chose SHCVC Urgent Care as the recipient of his charitable work,” clinical manager Anita Petagara said. “Having books available to our pediatric patients provides a level of comfort during what can be a scary experience. The team looks forward to being able to provide

Drivers must provide at least one ride every three months, and the volunteers appreciate this flexibility. Lai said they use a company to do a background check and verify driving records, which must be clean for the past five years. Lai, who has been doing the scheduling for the past four years, said clients often request certain drivers. “They will say, ‘Can you check if John is available? He’s really nice and takes care of me,’” she said. Clients are generous with thank you cards
these books to children in our care.” Early this summer, Kenney and his team of volunteers distributed door-hangers in three Pleasanton neighborhoods asking for donations of new books for the urgent care patients, and he was overwhelmed by the response. Even after the designated collection weekend, the monetary donations and requests for book pickups kept coming. Once the books were collected, Kenney supervised his team while they sorted the books and placed a label in each one that reads, “You may take this book home. Donated by Blake Kenney, Eagle Scout Project, 2019, Troop 908.” “We are so honored to be the beneficiaries of Blake’s Eagle Project,” said Shaké Sulikyan, executive director of ValleyCare Charitable Foundation. “It’s amazing what this community can do when they band together for the greater good.” Q and donations, Higgs said, as well as volunteering their skills. Grant writing is also a need, as are letter writers and ambassadors to be the face of the organization. Serendipity, as well as hard work, has played a part in the success of Drivers For Survivors, Higgs said, noting, “When you decide to do some good for humanity, the universe conspires to make it happen.” Plans are to expand to Oakland and North Alameda County in 2020. “We have a five years grant, starting this year in July,” Lai explained. “The first phase is the Tri-Valley.” For more information, visit www.DriversForSurvivors.org or call (510) 896-8056.
