Pre-teens work with the theme of medicine to compete with robots STORY AND PHOTOS BY RAJESWARI RAMANATHAN

orty-eight schools from around Northern California gathered for the 2010 FIRST LEGO League Championship on January 29 at Newark Memorial High School. Sponsored by Google, Genentech, Bae Systems, and other companies, the competition encourages children to use engineering to understand medicine. Hence, the championship’s theme: Body Forward. Students, ranging in ages from nine to 14-years-old, were required to identify a body problem and create an innovative solution, through engineering. Yet, this project was not the only portion

of the challenge. Competitors were asked to create a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS technology, which attempted to complete

ment closed with an awards ceremony presentation. Clad in colorful matching outfits, teams gathered in the main auditorium to display their robots and compete. Cheers from the audience and “photo-snapping” parents added to the excitement. Team M-Cubed from El Dorado Hills won first place of the Champion’s Award; the Robot Performance Award was given to CLAWS of Saratoga, who created Enlighta glasses to help restore vision. One of four Tri-City area teams, Chunky Monkeys of

So why are high school students from Fremont spending the day shoveling dirt and planting trees? “Because I love gardening. And this is a really cool project,” said Kennedy High School Senior Adnan.

Learn How to Reduce Your Risk of Coronary Artery Disease

oronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in this country for both men and women, killing more than 500,000 people every year, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. Most people probably want to avoid heart surgery if they can. But what are the steps you need to take to reduce your risk for heart disease? And if that doesn’t work, what types of treatments are available? “There are ways to lower your risk for heart disease and prevent some of the serious complications,” said Dr. Michael Parmley, an internist and member of the Washington Hospital staff. “Diet and exercise play a big role.” In recognition of American Heart Month, Parmley will join Dr. Jon-Cecil Walkes, a cardiothoracic surgeon and chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Washington Hospital, for a seminar on the prevention and treatment of heart disease. “Coronary Artery Disease: Heart Surgery Options” is scheduled for Tuesday, February 15, from 1 to 3 p.m. The free seminar will be held at the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium at Washington West, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. You can register online at www.whhs.com or call (800) 963-7070 for more information.

blood, or with the heart still beating, referred to as “off pump,” according to Walkes. He prefers to perform the surgery off pump because it leads to less blood loss, fewer complications like memory loss, and shorter hospital stays. “Allowing the heart to beat naturally during surgery is so much better for the patient,” he explained. “It used to be that all bypass surgeries were performed on pump. But now 90 percent of the procedures we are doing are off pump, and we are seeing better results.” Walkes said that while he will encourage participants to take the necessary steps to prevent heart disease, there are surgical options available that can improve the quality of life for people with advanced heart disease.

Auto Review

Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS BY STEVE SCHAEFER

RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

f your corroded muffler needs replacement, your driving habits may be the culprit. While rain, snow, and/or humidity may conspire to rust exposed parts of the exhaust system, the greatest amount of corrosion occurs internally, mostly in the muffler. This internal rusting is largely due to by-products of the combustion process (water and acid), which combine to quickly rust the system from the inside out. Until the exhaust system reaches operating temperatures, moisture condenses on the cool surfaces of the exhaust. Until the surfaces become hot, moisture collects, posing a rust problem. Short trips that aren’t long enough in duration to get the exhaust system hot are more likely

than long drives to create corrosion problems for the exhaust system. Of course, you can’t really control whether you make short trips or long ones. All you can do is try to mitigate the effects. That’s why you need to bring your car into BAY STAR AUTO CARE for regularly scheduled maintenance. Our ASE-certified technicians will provide the preventive care that can catch little things, like a rusty muffler, before they become big problems, like a hole in the muffler. That can save you time and money down the road. Call for an appointment right away. HINT: While stainless steel exhaust components may cost more initially, they are rust-resistant.

Gary Singh is the owner of Bay Star Auto Care at 1275 Atlantic St. near Western Ave., here in Union City. Phone: 489-3331

Suzuki, a giant Japanese corporation, has been around for more than a century. Known in this country until recently primarily for its motorcycles, the company

has offered a variety of compact and all-wheel drive sedans and SUVs in the U.S. for decades. But they’ve become the Rodney Dangerfield of Japanese brands - they don’t get no respect! Well, a little knowledge can change perceptions; you have to drive a Suzuki to understand that the company’s flagship sedan, the Kizashi (Kee-zah-shee), is a fully capable and well decked out performance machine. Suzuki’s goal is to offer a lower cost, higher efficiency alternative to Audi A4, Mercedes C Class or BMW 3 Series, not to mention the upscale Japanese competition. The Kizashi debuted as a 2010 model, and has boldly presented itself as a worthy combatant in the sport sedan wars ever since. In its sophomore year, it’s available in four series from the base S and more-contented SE up to the Sport GTS and Sport SLS. Even the S gets things you don’t expect in a “base” model such as automatic dual-zone climate control with passenger rear vents, push button start, electronic stability control and eight airbags. The SE steps up with a standard CVT automatic transmission; 18-inch tires on alloy wheels; a 10-way power driver seat with three-position memory; cruise control and a leatherwrapped steering wheel, shift lever and parking brake lever. GTS and SLS models get “Sport” added to their names this year. The cars wear a bolder, muscular front with chrome accents and a lower grille that floats mere inches from the ground. Body side sill extensions and lower body side molding with chrome accents give a hunkereddown look. It actually does sit 10 mm lower. The resulting aerodynamics improves efficiency and the lower center of gravity enhances handling. There’s a spoiler on the trunk and custom lightweight 18-inch alloy wheels for

looks. Step up to the Sport GTS for upgraded alloy wheels, a moonroof, fog lights and a killer stereo: a 425 watt Rockford Fosgate®3 audio system with 10-speakers, including a subwoofer and advanced digital sound processor and optional Bluetooth®5 hands-free calling. Sport SLS adds leather, heated seats (3 way); rain-sensing windshield wipers; rear parking sensors; exterior heated mirrors; an automatic rear-view mirror; automatic on/off headlamps and optional XM Satellite Radio ($350). All Kizashis use a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 185 horsepower and 170 lb.ft. of torque (180 hp with the CVT manual). The 3,241-pound car goes from 0 to 60 in a healthy 7.4 seconds with the standard six-speed manual. Manual gearing is set for quickness off the line but also at low cruising RPM for better fuel economy. Suzuki’s all-wheel-drive system, i-AWD, is driver-activated. Once it’s on, engine power is sent to the rear wheels as needed and even aids in cornering. And, it works well with the electronic stability control system to keep you going where you’ve pointed the steering wheel. EPA gives the Kizashi ratings of 20 City, 29 Highway with a manual and 18-inch wheels. The 16inch wheels on the lower level models deliver slightly higher numbers. I averaged 26.2 miles per gallon. EPA Green Vehicle Guide numbers are 5 for Air Pollution and 5 for Greenhouse Gas - exactly average. The Greenhouse Gas number rises to 6 with the CVT. The interior is exceptionally well finished and equipped. My top level Sport SLS vehicle (in Platinum Silver Metallic – add $130), like all Sport models, had a special sport steering wheel with perforated leather grip and contrasting stitching in the shifter boot and parking brake boot.

This car is definitely fun to drive. The six-speed manual shifts easily; the dashboard cowl sits a little high so the car doesn’t feel low slung like a sports roadster. With plenty of sound insulation and apparent diligent assembly, the car is a quiet place. The steering wheel offers substantial grip and provides redundant audio controls so you can keep your eyes on the road. Kizashi has all of today’s safety equipment: eight airbags; electronic stability program; an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution; and a tire pressure monitoring system. It already meets the 2012 higher-speed front crash standards and new, more stringent 2014 side barrier and sidepole crash standards. The front-wheel-drive S with manual transmission starts just under $20,000, including shipping. The top of the line Sport SLS with the CVT and i-AWD comes in at $28,024. My Sport SLS with front-wheel drive and manual transmission was $25,304. Fun, economical, affordable, safe, well-made—all of these adjectives apply. You get “America’s #1 warranty” with 100,000 mile/7 year limited coverage too. So far, sales are healthy for Suzuki’s new flagship.

Steve Schaefer’s first car memories are of riding in his father’s Austin-Healey with the top down to get ice cream on a summer afternoon. He was four. As a teenager, Steve rode his bike to car dealers’ back lots to catch a glimpse of the new models when they first rolled off the truck. A founding member and currently vice president of the Western Automotive Journalists, he has been testing and writing about cars since 1992. Contact him at sdsauto@sbcglobal.net.

STORY AND PHOTO COURTESY OF OLIVEIRA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Oliveira first grader, Lynette Santos, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) in May 2008, just after she turned 5 years old; for about a month prior to diagnosis she had been complaining of stomach pain and pain in her bones. Chemotherapy and steroid treatment including hospital stays, hair loss and other

complications lasted 2 ? years. In August 2010, Lynette returned to school. Unfortunately, relief and happiness were short-lived. Barely a month later, Lynette suffered a relapse. Her mother, Noemi said, “So many emotions ran through us - fear, denial, shock. We were scared for our daughter’s life because we knew this time the leukemia would be harder to treat.” Chemotherapy treatment resumed and Lynette underwent a bone marrow transplant; her sister, who also attends kindergarten at Oliveira, was the donor. Lynette will be required to stay in the hospital for approximately 90 days to recover from the procedure. Lynette’s current and previous classmates are sending drawings and special letters that help brighten her smile and mood. To help Lynette and others stricken by ALL, Oliveira Elementary School is coordinating “Pennies for Patients” to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Lynette’s mom said she knows LLS really help patients and is pleased with the school’s effort. Oliveira Principal, Linda Anderson has added her own “challenge.” If the staff and students collect at least $1000, the principal will dye her hair pink! Not surprisingly, Lynette’s condition has put an immense financial burden on the family, apart from an emotional and physical toll. The family moved from their home to Lynette’s grandparents’ apartment to save mortgage payments. Noemi left her job to care for Lynette and daily living expenses became more difficult; the added burden of expensive prescriptions and transportation is crushing. Donations of cash, checks and gift cards in any amount may be deposited on the blue counter in the school office. Also, a bank account has been opened for the family. Please make checks payable to: “All Eagles for Lynette” and mail to: Oliveira Elementary School, 4180 Alder Avenue, Fremont 94536. For further information, contact the school at (510) 797-1135.

Simultaneously, teams from the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) will be sending their Inspire award winner, as well as the captain of the Winning Alliance, to compete with more than 100 teams from US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and possibly China and Japan.

Learn About Your Health Insurance Options health insurance are usually eligible for up to 18 months of continued coverage under COBRA, the federal law more formally known as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. COBRA requires continuation coverage to be offered to covered employees, their spouses, their former spouses, and their dependent children when group health coverage would otherwise be lost due to an employment lay off. Under COBRA, employers may require individuals who elect continuation coverage to pay the full cost of the coverage, plus a two percent administrative charge. What is HIPAA? HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It allows people to buy individual health insurance when they lose their group health insurance, even if they have a pre-existing health condition. If you qualify, all health plans that sell individual plans must offer you health insurance. You cannot be denied insurance because of your medical history. HIPPA adds protections and makes it easier to switch jobs without fear of losing health coverage for a preexisting condition. Government Insurance Options California offers health coverage to residents through the federally established temporary high-risk pool program. This state-sponsored program helps people who can afford to buy health insurance, but are not able to get underwritten in the private market because of pre-existing health conditions.

How to answer the door safely SUBMITTED BY GENEVA BOSQUES, FREMONT PD To open or not... that is the question. This week several neighborhood email groups have reported unwanted solicitors. Here are some tips on how to handle neighborhood soliciting. The City of Fremont has a Commercial Solicitations and Peddlers Ordinance requiring a permit for commercial door to door sales and services. The Ordinance requires solicitors/peddlers to submit an application, photo, finger prints and successfully complete a background check prior to obtaining a permit from the City. Once approved, the City will issue the applicant an identification card, which shall contain the name, address, and telephone number of the permittee and his employer or the business entity he represents. It will also contain the expiration date of the permit. The Ordinance requires a permittee to carry their permit with them at all times and show it upon request while soliciting. Non-profit organizations are exempt from the license requirement, but they too must still carry a letter that describes their activity from their club or organization. The municipal code, Chapter 4, sections 5-4100 - 5 - 4116 can be viewed on the City of Fremont website at www.codepublishing.com. Follow these steps to learn how to deflect doorto-door solicitations: If someone comes to your door with or without a permit, you are not obligated to engage in a conversation or open your door. Call out or look through a peephole or window before opening your door to anyone. Post a “No Solicitors” sign on your front door. If a solicitor arrives on your front step unannounced, yell through your firmly closed door, “read the sign.” If you feel that the solicitor is out of compliance with the City’s Solicitation/Peddler Permit Ordinance and/or if you feel that the activity is suspicious, call the Fremont Police Department’s non-emergency number at (510) 790-6800 and press option 3. After you call the Police Department notify your neighbors through your local email group or via your Neighborhood Crime Watch Street Roster of the suspicious activity. Never open your front door without care. There is no dishonor in an unopened door—even when the person on the other side reportedly represents a charity that helps unwanted puppies, undernourished kids or saves whales. Burglars commonly ring the doorbell to see if anyone is home before breaking and entering. This is why it is important to let them know you are home. You can also leave a radio or TV on to give the appearance that someone is home. Do not let anyone in your home that you do not know. It’s much more difficult to rid yourself of them once they are inside; it’s also potentially dangerous. Only after you have verified the solicitors permit and feel that it is safe should you open your door. Talk about these tips with your kids and make sure they never open a door to an unknown guest. Many solicitors have good intentions and are not harmful, but unfortunately it’s not always easy to spot con artists. They invade homes through the telephone, computer, and mail; advertise in well-known newspapers and magazines; and come right up to your front door. Most people think they’re too smart to fall for a scam, but unfortunately the opposite can be true. Solicitors should be treated as uninvited guests and not allowed to bully their way into your home or pressure you into supporting their charities. Remember your safety always come first.

Online Crime Reporting SUBMITTED BY OFFICER GENE SMITH, MILPITAS PD Milpitas Police has expanded its online reporting service to include non-injury private property hit and run collisions, which includes incidents in parking lots. The online police reporting option was first introduced by Milpitas Police for the public in February of 2008. This web-based reporting system allows individuals to file certain incidents, such as thefts, vehicle burglaries, lost property, vandalism, and vehicle tampering, over the internet. Popular throughout the state, many Bay Area police departments are using this software with great success. Members of the public can file a report at a time best for them without waiting for an officer to respond or call back. Individuals are able print a temporary copy of the report upon completion. Police personnel review the online reports and, once approved, the filing person will receive an email with a copy of the report attached without cost. The report will also transfer into the Milpitas Police Department’s records management system and offer the same investigative and statistical analysis ability as if the report had been filed by a police officer. The online reporting option will allow officers more time to address community needs while keeping pace with the public expectancy to complete services via the internet. However, this service is optional, and if personal contact is desired, then reporting parties may still contact the Milpitas Police Department at (408) 5862400. This crime reporting service is available for incidents that occurred in Milpitas at www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov.

For more information visit: http://www.fremont.k12.ca.us/domain/50. State Budget Update: Superintendent Morris stated that in the proposed budget, “Governor Jerry Brown, spares K-12 education funding from further budget cuts, [thus] acknowledging past devastating ones.” In order to close a $25.4 billion budget gap, for 2010-11 and 2011-12, $12.5 billion must be cut from other areas.

At the end of the 2009-2010 school year, a task force was established to develop a framework for Honors eligibility. District staff and the Board acknowledged that the Honors Program needs to be more inclusive. Board member, Larry Sweeney dissented saying it would attach a stigma to those students unable to qualify for Honors classes. Additionally, he questioned costs of increased Honors classes. English Teacher Patty Allen of Mission San Jose High School vehemently stated her opposition. “We need to respect and uphold the Honors program. We have experienced problems with children being misplaced [in advanced classes] – damaging self –esteem. Can a dumbing down of the Honors program be next?” she added. Board trustee Lily Mei had mixed feelings on the Honors criteria, and the issue of student stress, but agreed to open the program to more students. A motion to accept the new Honors criteria passed with Board member Larry Sweeney voting against. The new Honors criteria will be posted online, after course catalogs are approved at the February 9 Board meeting. In the interim, information can be found at the district website http://www.fremont.k12.ca.us.

History

The Lions Club of Union City BY MYRLA RAYMUNDO

n 1917, Chicago business leader Melvin Jones asked a simple and world-changing question - what if people put their talents to work improving their communities? Almost 100 years later, Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization with 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs and countless stories of Lions acting on that simple idea. Just three years after its founding, Lions became international

when they established the first club in Canada. Mexico followed in 1927. In the 1950s and 1960s, international growth accelerated, with new clubs in Europe, Africa and Asia. Leaders in Union City, California started the Lions Club of Union City in 1963. Charter President was Kenny Garcia and Jim Duncan was Charter Secretary. The emphasis was on building membership and creating a solid place in the community for Lion Club efforts. Numerous projects were initiated. The Club donated $725 towards building a scoreboard for the Washington High Unified School District stadium and sponsored Boy Scout Troop #177. The first Lions BBQ Dinner was held in July 18, 1970. Club members assisted with Rubella inoculation efforts in which 1490 people were vaccinated. Lions participated in Flag Day programs and passed out flags to fourth graders. The Club held a Flea Market and a Special Children’s Party at Union Square Mall, a Blood Drive, and Annual Founders Day Parade for Union City’s 20th birthday. The Club has hosted Thanksgiving dinners for senior citizens and Christmas parties for special needs kids. They have held crab feeds at Veterans Hall in Niles and served Pancake Breakfasts at Gladiola Festivals. Casino Bus Trips and Make a Difference Day activities are also part of Lions Club accomplishments. Union City Lions Club have donated to a wide variety of com-

munity causes including construction of the memorial to Korean and Vietnam War Veterans in Union

Convention in Tokyo, Japan and President Manuel Seoane represented the Club at an International Convention in Las Vegas. Lion families hosted Youth Exchange students from Japan. A Union City Lions delegation visited the Philippines, twinned with the Pasay City Host Lions and donated 400 pounds of schoolbooks and supplies. Helen Keller addressed a Lions Clubs International convention at Cedar Point, Ohio, challenging Lions to become “Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.” Since that meeting in 1925, Lions have worked tirelessly to aid the blind and visually impaired. As part of this effort, Union City Lions have actively participated in the “Sights Program” supporting an eye clinic in Guaymas, Mexico and collecting used eyeglasses for underprivileged countries. In 1978, the Lioness Club of Union City was chartered; the first president of the club was Joan Honebein. The Union City Lions Club is always ready to help – in Union City and around the world - with unmatched integrity and energy. When Lions gather, problems get smaller and communities get better.

What is Your Tribe? BY ANNE CHAN, PHD, MFT I once landed my dream job, the coolest job you can imagine. It was the kind of job that only a select few in the world get to experience. (Sorry I can’t give you more details than that – the people in my “dream” job would hunt me down and give me grief ). You would think that I’d still be in paradise working my dream job, but I only lasted a few sorry months. Almost as soon as I landed that job, I had to quit because the people at the organization were more toxic than leaking barrels from Chernobyl. I simply didn’t and couldn’t fit into that particular corporate culture. Here’s the flip version of my first story – when I was in graduate school, I did a summer internship at a nonprofit in San Jose. The job paid hardly anything and I had a doozy of a commute (this was way back in the dotcom boom days when commuting from Fremont to San Jose took over an hour). My job responsibilities weren’t even in my areas of interest or passion. You would think that I would hate a job that didn’t pay well, had a horrendous commute, and wasn’t completely interesting to me. But that job was one of my favorite jobs of all time because of the colleagues I got to work with. They were caring, kind, supportive, and appreciative people who were welcoming and accepting. They worked hard, were good at what they did, and were willing to share of themselves and their knowledge. Even though I was only a summer intern, I was immediately welcomed into their circle. Very quickly, I felt like part of their family. They inspired me with their work attitudes and work ethic, and I feel like I’m a better person for having worked with them. The moral of these two stories? Choose your work environment and work family with great care! People often worry about the “right” career or job for them. This is, of course, a legitimate concern, but I would add that one’s work environment is an important component of a person’s overall career satisfaction. We don’t often think about this aspect, but the tales of woe from my clients attest to the fact that finding one’s right tribe is critical to career happiness. What are some things you can do to make sure that you find the right tribe? If you are in the process of looking for a job, read carefully about the company cul-

ture and try to find out from the people who are working there what it is like to work in that company or department. If you are at the interview stage, be sure to ask about the company culture with questions like, “What kinds of mentoring happen here?” or “How are mistakes handled here?” or “What is your supervisory style like?” If you are in the process of trying to figure out your career, reflect on the types of people you like to be with. Who are you most comfortable with? Who do you admire? What kinds of people inspire you? These questions can help lead you to finding your tribe. If you are torn between one or two career choices, say being a nurse or being a paramedic, see if you can line up an informational interview with several nurses and paramedics and see how you fit in with them. If you can’t find anybody to interview, go to a professional conference where you are guaranteed to meet dozens of nurses and paramedics. Another helpful source of information is the Strong Interest Inventory, a researchbased career assessment tool that matches your responses with the responses of people who are satisfied with their jobs and gives you suggestions for career fields to consider. It’s like a career Match.com without the dating hazards. If you are currently in a job where you don’t feel like you are in the right tribe, there are some things you can do to safeguard your mental health if you can’t leave your job: get a mentor who can support you through this time. Find external sources of support to inspire and validate you even though your work environment doesn’t. Be sure to set good boundaries between yourself and your work. This latter piece of advice is essential if you are in a dysfunctional work environment. I do believe that finding your tribe is one of the keys to job and personal happiness. If you think about it, many of us spend more time with our co-workers than with our own families. Isn’t it crucial, then, that we feel good about the people we work with? Best of luck in finding your work tribe! Anne Chan is a career counselor and licensed psychotherapist in Union City. She specializes in helping people find happiness in their careers, lives, and relationships. She can be reached at 510-744-1781. Her website is www.annechanconsulting.com

TPC Stonebrae honored with environmental award SUBMITTED BY STEVE MILLER A dozen Tournament Players Clubs (TPCs), including TPC Stonebrae, Hayward, have been awarded top honors in the annual Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA)/Golf Digest Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards for 2010, including two that have earned National Awards. An independent panel of judges representing national environmental groups, turf grass experts, university researchers and members of the golf community conducted the award selection. Superintendents and their courses were judged on overall course management excellence in the areas of resource conservation, water quality management, integrated pest management, wildlife/habitat management and education/outreach. Additionally, these categories were judged on sustainability, critically, originality and technology implementation/use. All of the winners will be formally recognized during the GCSAA Education Conference and Golf Industry Show in Orlando, FL on February 8, 2011, and will be featured in the February issue of Golf Course Management magazine. “We are very proud of Collier Miller and his outstanding team

GM considers adding dealerships in coastal states BY TOM KRISHER AP AUTO WRITER

www.pachecobrothers.com

SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Feb 05 - General Motors may add dealers in big metro areas on the U.S. coasts because it expects sales there to grow, two top executives said Saturday. It’s the opposite of the company’s stance just two years ago when GM got rid of about 1,700 dealers across the U.S. as it headed into bankruptcy protection. GM has been losing dealers on the coasts, especially in California, for two decades due to slow sales as people bought more foreign brands. Company officials say GM’s poor products also played a significant role. Mark Reuss, GM’s North American president, said Saturday that the company’s dealership footprint on the coasts was destroyed by the lack of products, the financial meltdown and GM’s 2009 trip through bankruptcy protection. The company, he said, wants to rebuild the network because its newer models, like the Chevrolet Cruze compact, are starting to sell better in coastal markets, and GM expects growth to continue as it rolls out more new products and the economy recovers. “We know there’s areas where we should be that we’re not,’’ said Don Johnson, vice president of U.S. sales. “We didn’t have the product. We didn’t have the focus. We were irrelevant to California consumers.’’ GM needs more dealers in the San Francisco and Los Angeles metropolitan areas and will look at other areas on the East and West coasts and around the Gulf of Mexico, the executives said. They gave no timetable for the changes and said they could move dealerships from depressed areas or add new franchises. GM has only 227 dealerships in California, about the same number it has in Michigan, which has less than one-fourth as many residents as California.

of superintendents and agronomy professionals throughout the TPC Network, who continue to demonstrate a strong commitment to preserve and protect the environment,” said David Pillsbury, president of PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties. Judges selected winners in three National categories (Public, Private and Resort) and an International winner and bestowed honors upon the top entry from each GCSAA affiliated Chapter. Merit honors were awarded to those who did not earn National or Chapter honors but, in the opinion of the judges, deserved special recognition. Chapter Award honors/public division were awarded to Robb Arnold at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, LA; Paul Grogan at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, IL; and Kim Wood at TPC Las Vegas. Chapter Award honors/private division were awarded to Stephen Britton at TPC Potomac in Potomac, MD; Michael Crawford at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, GA; and Thomas DeGrandi at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT. Chapter Award honors/resort division were awarded to Jeff Plotts at TPC Scottsdale. Merit Award honors/private division were awarded to David Davies at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward, CA; Dale Hahn at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, NV;

and Jim Thomas at TPC Southwind in Memphis, TN. “Hayward is one of the few cities to receive this honor. We are very proud to achieve this sought-after recognition of responsible resource conservation, water quality and conservation and wildlife/habitat management,” stated Stonebrae Executive Director Steve Miller. All of the TPCs honored, and almost all clubs within the TPC Network, are certified as official Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Systems by Audubon International. To date, PGA TOURowned or licensed TPCs have earned 102 GCSAA/Golf Digest Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards. “I’m very proud of the daily work of our talented team of maintenance and agronomy professionals to conserve natural resources, preserve wildlife habitats and help educate the public regarding the valuable role golf courses play in protecting the environment,” said Collier Miller, PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties’ Director of TPC Agronomy. “At the same time, they do an outstanding job ensuring PGA TOUR players, members and guests enjoy the best possible playing conditions year-round.” For more information, visit www.tpc.com and www.stonebrae.com

Unemployment falls to 9 pct., nearly 2-year low BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON (AP), Feb 04 - The unemployment rate is sinking at the fastest pace in half a century because a surprisingly large number of people say they’re finding work. It conflicts with a business payroll survey last month that showed relatively weak job growth. But that survey doesn’t count the self-employed and likely undercounts the nation’s smallest businesses. Also, harsh weather disrupted business payrolls in January. The unemployment rate dropped sharply last month to 9 percent, based on a government survey that found that more than a half-million people found work. A separate Labor Department survey of company payrolls showed 36,000 net jobs created barely a quarter of the number needed to keep pace with population growth. The government’s survey of households is used to calculate the unemployment rate. That measures the self-employed, farm workers and household employees. They are not included in the payroll survey. Many economists also say the household survey includes more people who work at small companies. The number of people who called themselves self-employed rose by 165,000 to 9.7 million in January, the report said. That’s the highest total since last May. Harsh snowstorms last month also likely played a role. They cut into construction employment, which fell by 32,000, the most since May. Transportation and warehousing was also likely affected and fell by 38,000 - the most in a year. ``The thumbprints of the weather were all over this report,’’ said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Hiring was suppressed last month and will likely rebound in February, he said. In one bright spot, manufacturing added 49,000 jobs, the most since August 1998. And retailers added 28,000 jobs, the largest number in a year. The unemployment rate has fallen by eight-tenths of a percentage point in the past two months. That’s the steepest two-month drop in nearly 53 years. But part of that drop has occurred as many of those out of work gave up on their job searches. When unemployed people stop looking for jobs, the government no longer counts them as unemployed. The number of people who have given up looking rose to 2.8 million last month, from 2.6 million in December. And the participation rate, which is the percentage of the working-age population working or looking for work, fell to a 26-year low of 64.2 percent. The number of people unemployed fell by more than 600,000 in January to 13.9 million. That’s still about double the total that were out of work before the recession began in December 2007. In early trading on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 15 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,075. The S&P 500 gained 2 to 1,309. The Nasdaq composite index added 5 to 2,759. The January jobs report also includes the government’s annual revisions to the employment data, which showed that fewer jobs were created in 2010 than previously thought. All told, about continued on page 16

950,000 net new jobs were added last year, down from a previous estimate of 1.1 million. The economy lost about 8 million jobs in 2008 and 2009. In the past three months, the economy generated an average of 83,000 net jobs per month.

Emergency preparedness BY ABRAHAM CRUZ www.bjtravelfremont.com

The City of Milpitas’ Emergency Preparedness Commission is working diligently to help residents and visitors survive the aftermath of any disaster that might occur. Regular disaster drills, awareness of public safety and emergency issues “train” participants to react appropriately when a catastrophe strikes. EPC Strategic Planning School disaster drills are held quarterly and rotate throughout Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD). Drills consist of mock emergency situations, such as fires, earthquakes, excessive heat and related temperature emergencies and power failure. The next disaster drill is scheduled for April 6, 2011 at Randall Elementary School. The EPC events calendar is available on the city’s website www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov to schedule and view all meetings or events. Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD) A new Care and Shelter container has been established at Milpitas High School to provide shelter and assistance for citizens in emergency situations (such as earthquakes, fire, etc.) The Red Cross is reallocating supplies, as

That’s not enough to keep up with population growth. The weakness in the government payroll survey was widespread. Restaurants and hotels cut 2,200 jobs. Governments shed 14,000 positions. And temporary help agencies eliminated

11,000 jobs. Financial services lost 10,000 positions. Education and health care services, one of the few steady job generators through the downturn, added 13,000 jobs, the fewest in almost two years. Financial services lost 10,000 jobs.

they can only be delivered through the school, not to the city. Emergency supplies consist of water, food, medicine, basic sanitary facilities and board games for children. While the school provided the location, the City of Milpitas has paid for the cache and supplies. The other shelter is located at the Milpitas Sports Complex on East Calaveras Boulevard. Public Education and Community Outreach The Professional Volunteer Database consists of members of the community who have volunteered their services (medical/fire/police) for emergency situations. The Professional Volunteer Database and Form are still being developed and will be discussed at the next Emergence Preparedness Commission meeting. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact Rosana Cacao at (408) 586-3207. April is Earthquake Preparedness Month. Pamphlets for the Randall Elementary School disaster drill will be distributed. A possible scenario for future disaster drills is the removal of students by their parents from the school campus without following proper sign-out procedures. Emergency response personnel, elected officials and city staff will be on hand to assist with the drill and distribute food. Since younger students require more

supervision than older students, it was suggested that the Randall Elementary PTA may be contacted to assist with the drill. The Public Education Team’s primary focus is to educate the community by distributing information about public safety. Most are unprepared for an emergency or disaster which underscores the importance of the Public Education Team’s efforts. Current Training Faith based/community-based organizations meet monthly basis and focus on different services, such as preparation of a 72-hour emergency kit preparation and the importance of basic safety skills, e.g. extinguishing small fires and administering medical attention. The Office of Emergency Services (OES) offers services useful for emergency awareness and preparedness – free CPR courses; hosting a day-time event featuring safety demonstrations; conducting door-to-door informational instruction (such as how to turn off gas valves). The next Emergency Preparedness Commission meeting will be on Thursday, March 17, 2011, at 7:00 p.m. in the Committee Conference Room, Milpitas City Hall. For more information, visit www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov or contact Sean Simonson, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator at (408) 586-2810.

National Burn Awareness Week February 6-12 SUBMITTED BY HAYWARD FIRE DEPARTMENT Burn Awareness Week is observed nationally the first full week in February — Feb. 6 through Feb. 12. Attention is designed to bring about public awareness in our communities and is the perfect calendar observance to focus on preventing fires and protecting children. Each year on average 18,300 Americans are injured, and more than 3,500 die in fires, with children age 14 and under making up 10-15 percent of all fire deaths. The Hayward Fire Department would like to remind you that it is important to remember that children, especially ages 5 and younger, may not perceive danger, and have less control of their environment. They may also lack the ability to escape a continued on page 20

BY JULIE GRABOWSKI PHOTO COURTESY OF INDUZ Far from being about chocolates, roses, and paper hearts, Valentine’s Day is about celebrating the love in our lives and enjoying the company of those most important to us. This holiday, individuals and families can extend the reach of their love in a lasting and impactful way by taking part in Induz’s Valentine Masti on Saturday, February 12. Induz is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2004 by a group of Silicon Valley professionals dedicated to arts and culture education in the Bay Area and across the globe. Operating under the banner “Where Art Meets Heart,” Induz works to expose socially and economically disadvantaged children to the joy and practice of art, to nurture artistic talent, and foster connection between all cultures through art. Their Tulika Program serves underprivileged children in India by providing lessons in the art

forms of dance, drawing, music, and painting. The first project was launched in Silghat, Assam in June 2008, and programs have since been established in Bangalore and the rural village of Katwa in Bengal. In a time where arts programs are the first to receive cuts or be eliminated all together, or in developing countries where art is of little importance, Induz hopes to get the joy and benefits of art growing and make a difference in young lives. Proceeds from the

Valentine Masti will support existing programs as well as contribute to launching new after-school art programs for lowincome schools in the Bay Area. “The Induz Valentine Masti 2011 is a celebration of love for the entire family. Spread your love and bring a smile to the face of a deserving child,” says Induz founder and President Ray Mitra. Since its inception the Valentine Masti has generated a sold out crowd, and now in its fourth year is looking once again to fill all 350 available seats at Chandni Restaurant in Newark. Emceed by Sitarree TV host Kavita Arora, the evening is a complete dining and entertainment package, featuring a gourmet dinner and bar, music performances by Bay Area

stars Sangeeta Rege, Malini Banerjee, Manohar Bijor, Neel Sarkar, and Krishna Subramanian, and Belly Dancing, Flamenco, and Bollywood dance performances from Laury and team and Manthan Group. Raju Chitambaram will host interactive couples games with prizes courtesy of PNG Jewelers, while Kanyadaan Boutique will supply the award for Best Dressed Couple, and San Ramon Family Dental awards the Smiling Soulmate Contest winners. The dance party follows at 10 p.m. with DJ Andy Atta rocking the house. A separate kids area will keep the younger attendees entertained with arts and crafts activities, face painting, movies and more. Organizers hope to raise at least $5,000 through the event as well as gain awareness in the community about their organization and what they are trying to do. “The nonprofit implores local residents interested in art as a way of bringing diverse communities and cultures together to volunteer with Induz and/or support its mission and work,” says Mitra.

The event is sure to be one to remember, not only for a great time, but for the opportunity to make a difference. So, this Valentine’s Day celebrate not only the love you have, but the love you can give, a gift that will make a lasting difference in the lives of countless others. Tickets for the Valentine Masti are $35 for adults and $25 for children ages 5-12; children under 5 are free. The VIP SweetHeart Special is $100 per couple and includes two front row seats, a bottle of champagne, rose and chocolates. Group discounts are available at $30 each for 10 adults or more. Purchase tickets at https://www.sulekha.com/ticketsV3/buytickets.aspx?cid=60125 4 or www.induz.org. Those who are unable to attend but wish to support this cause can donate online.

home to a creek, deer, trees and plants that have been significantly impacted by the fruition of non-native plants such as English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and non-native elm trees. These non-native invasive plants do not provide significant habitat for wildlife and grow in an “out of control” manner, taking over space and crowding out the natural vegetation. Invasive vines, such as English ivy, can create dangerous situations, especially in urban natural areas, by climbing trees and adding weight to limbs and reducing air flow around the tree’s trunk, which make the trees more susceptible to canopy failure, wind stress and disease. English ivy can also take over and then grow out of yards, in the process damage buildings and fences. The project is a partnership between the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), the Alameda County Resource Conservation District (ACRCD), and the City of Fremont and fulfills the Riparian Habitat Restoration

requirements associated with the BART Warm Springs Extension Project. The project is administered by the ACRCD and funded by BART. In all, the project will plant more than 400 plants at this location over four Saturday workdays. Project Coordinator Leslie Koenig said the group expects to plant a number of native species, including elderberry, native oaks, buckeyes, coffeeberries and toyon among others. Another volunteer, Ananda, explained that this project is important because “People keep destroying stuff and this is my way

of undoing some of that and restoring natural spaces.” Other volunteers were busy fashioning wire fences around the new plants and trees to protect them from the deer that call this area home. But for many of the students, the work being done on this project relates directly to coursework in progress. Many of the volunteers learned new terms and practices in environmental education, such as “DriWATER”:a “gooplike” nutrient and water-packed substance that is placed next to the new plants. DriWATER allows the plant to be hydrated and nurtured over a few months without the need for additional water. Scott Lewis is the Service Coordinator for Irvington High School and helps students to complete service hours as part of their graduation requirements. He says that tying this new knowledge to classroom work and implementing it lead to greater meaning and understanding for the students. “This makes community service, service learning. So the kids can contribute to their community while reinforcing concepts being learned in their academic courses at school,” Lewis said. The next workdays are scheduled from 9 am to noon on Saturday, February 12 and February 26. To find out more about the project or to volunteer for the next workday, contact Leslie Koenig at (925) 371-0154 ext. 115 or by e-mail at Leslie.Koenig@ca.nacdnet.net.

life-threatening burn situation and may not be able to tolerate the physical stress of a burn injury. Children under the age of 5 still account for fifty-two percent of all child fire deaths, and home fires which tend to spike during winter months, placing younger children and toddlers at even greater risk. Since many children are unable to escape from fire on their own, we encourage parents and caregivers to use National Burn Awareness Week as an opportunity to take actions that keep their loved ones, and particularly children, safe from fire and burn hazards. Tips to avoid fire and keep children safe around your house include: Install tamper-resistant receptacles to prevent a child from sticking an object in the outlet. Never hold a child in your arms while preparing hot food or drinking a hot beverage. Keep children at least 3 feet from hot stoves and cooking appliances. When cooking, use back burners with pot handles turned towards the back of the stove. Do not place hot foods or liquids near the counter’s edge or within a child’s reach. Wear short or close-fitting sleeves when cooking. Make the stove area a “kidfree zone” (three feet is a good

National Burn Awareness Week

distance). Mark it on the floor with bright tape. Never leave a child alone in a room with a lit candle, portable heater, lit fireplace or stove, or where a hot appliance might be in use. Establish a safe hot water temperature by setting your water heater to deliver water at a temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit or by installing antiscald devices. Have fireplace flues and chimneys inspected for leakage and blockage from creosote or debris. Open the fireplace damper before lighting a fire and keep it open until the ashes are cool. Store ashes in fire-resistant containers; cover the container with a lid, and dispose of ashes carefully. Be careful when using things that get hot such as curling irons, oven, irons, lamps, heaters. Place space heaters on a floor that is flat and level. Do not put space heaters on rugs or carpets. Keep space heaters at least four feet from bedding, drapes, furniture and other flammable materials and place them out of the flow of foot traffic. Keep children and pets away from space heaters. Always tuck cords from appliances where children cannot reach them and out of the way

of foot traffic to avoid a tripping hazard and wear to the cord from walking. Keep electrical cords out of reach of children. Install smoke detectors on every level in your home, inside and outside sleeping areas. Include at least one carbon monoxide detector in addition to installed smoke detectors. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors each month and replace the batteries at least once a year. The most common types of burn injuries result from fire or flame burns, scalds and contact burns. Burns are painful and can result in serious scarring and even death. When we take extra caution in our homes to ensure that the curling iron is out of children’s reach or pot handles are turned away from the edge of the stove, such injuries are entirely preventable. Keeping our homes safe from fire and preventing devastating burn injuries is a healthy change we can make happen.

For the second time in two years, a Cal State East Bay (CSUEB) Theatre and Dance production has been selected for the Regional Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) that will take place in mid-February at Humboldt State University. To prepare for that honor, “Xtigone,” a new adaptation of the ancient Greek tragedy “Antigone” by Sophocles from contemporary playwright Nambi E. Kelley, will perform once more on the Hayward Campus. Darryl V. Jones, director and associate professor of theatre and dance, attributes its recognition to a strong ensemble production in a new play that raises important questions. “I know that the set design by Regina Cate (professor of theatre and dance) was mentioned by the KCACTF responders as outstanding, as was Laura Ellis’s choreography,” said Jones. The production incorporates African ritual with spoken word, hip-hop, and elevated text to re-tell an ancient tragedy in a modern setting where the tragedy is repeated daily in the streets of America and that is the gunning down of young people in endless gang warfare. “The playwright incorporates many styles in the play as if she were walking through the streets of Chicago and listening to the hip-hop on one corner, the blues coming out of the barber shop, the salsa blaring from an open car window, the boy on the corner ‘talking smack’ to his girl,” said Jones. Tickets are $15 for general admission; and $5 for CSUEB students with an ID. Tickets may be purchased at the University Bookstore, or reserved online at http://class.csueastbay.edu/theatre/Ticket_Reservations.php[5] or by calling (510) 885-3118.

he Berkeley-based Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program (BORP) hosted the 2011 Western National Wheelchair Basketball Association’s (NWBA) Regional Youth Wheelchair Basketball Tournament at Dream Courts, Hayward, on Feb 5 and 6. Nine teams from Utah, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, the Bay Area, Phoenix and Spokane competed for a place in the NWBA National Championship to be played April 7-10, 2011 in Denver. In the championship round of the two-day tournament, Utah [Salt Lake City] came second to Rancho [Los Angeles] with a score of 46-53. Team St Luke’s [Spokane] was placed third. “Kids with disabilities have few opportunities to compete with other athletes at the same level in organized sports so must participate in tournaments such

as this. It’s an important event. The BORP team travels to Denver, Utah and Phoenix because we can’t play against high school or community teams,” explained Trooper Johnson, BORP’s Youth Sports Program Coordinator. BORP provides sports and recreational opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities. The Youth Sports program has enabled youngsters to play wheelchair basketball for 25 years, sled hockey, to embark on Junior Adventures and includes a Power Cycle program for those with more limiting disabilities and Adaptive Cycling program for people to ride hand-cycles. BORP’s hand-cycling program is considered one of the best in the country. Everyone learns to ride a bike as a child; BORP’s Adaptive Cycling Center allows people to use what abilities they have to return to cycling. “Our athletes live throughout the Bay Area and Dream Courts’ central location relieves the bur-

den of travel, say, from San Jose to Napa. It equals things out. The facility is amazing. It’s built to be accessible and designed to accommodate; the freedom to move between courts and excellent visibility mean everyone can use it,” added Johnson who is Captain of the Golden State Road Warriors and a former wheelchair basketball paraolympian. “There’s so much space to play and practice. We couldn’t ask for more; other venues are often less than a quarter the size of Dream Courts’ [80,000 sq. ft. Phase One] and don’t have enough space for wheelchairs. We look forward to seeing the Hayward facility completed and recommend everyone visits,” said 15-year olds Josh Brewer and William Robbins, who have played basketball for two and five years, respectively. Both are on Team St. Luke’s [Spokane] and value the sense of family. continued on page 32

Prep soccer stars commit to college SUBMITTED BY MARGIE Tuesday, Feb. 2, was national signing night for those high school athletes who committed to go to college under athletic scholarships. Locally, there were a number of soccer stars who signed their letters of intent to play at the next level. Washington High School senior Paige Diamond and James Logan High School senior Gabriella Stange, who both played for the Pleasanton Rage Soccer premier girls teams, were recognized along with nine other athletes from Pleasanton, Livermore, Castro Valley and San Ramon. Diamond (who ranks as the No. 86 recruit on TopDrawerSoccer.com) committed to the University of Denver, and Stange signed her letter of intent to attend San Jose State University.

BY GIOVANNI ALBANESE JR. What if the Olympics came to your backyard each year? How about if you could interact and learn from current and former Olympic record holders? Would you go to that event? Well, you’re in luck. On Saturday, Feb. 12, James Logan High School in Union City will host its 25th Annual Willie Davenport Olympian Clinic. Logan track coach Lee Webb has been the facilitator of this event, hoping to promote the sport of track and field. Over time, you could say that Logan’s Olympian clinic has helped promote the sport. “It started small the first year from about 50 people to a maximum year where we had about 1,500 coaches and athletes,” Webb said. “Now, the clinic is the largest of its kind in the U.S.” Men and women, boys and girls of all ages (3 to 78 years old, according to Webb) have come to the clinic — which used to be a two-day event; now just the one due to financial constraints — to learn from Olympic athletes and coaches alike. Willie Davenport — now the namesake of the clinic — was an avid supporter of the clinic. Davenport passed away in 2002 and Webb took it upon himself to

name the clinic after him. “Willie exemplifies what the clinic is all about,” said Webb. “Willie was in the military; worked hard to be an athlete; worked with Special Olympics; cared for people; and love to help others.” And after changing the name of the clinic to include Davenport, Webb noticed that more people came to support it. “From that point (of the name change) on, many of Willie’s friends have wanted to come and support the clinic and to keep Willies name alive,” said Webb. This year’s event — which runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. followed by a meet-and-greet at Crowne Plaza from 6 to 8 p.m. — will feature a number of special guests and more than 35 clinicians. Some of the special guests include: Kevin Young, world record holder in the 400 hurdles; Mike Powell, world record holder in the long jump; Stephanie Brown, 2008 gold medalist in discus; Alvin Harrison, 400 meters gold medalist; Eddie Hart, world’s fastest human in 1972; Crazy George, cheerleader who invented the wave; and many more. “The clinic shows the history of the sport, it teaches and motivates students to not only be a

They look forward to come to Union City in February. I feel so proud of the clinic and all the people who have made this event possible.” Registration for the event on the day of runs from 8 to 9 a.m. with the clinic beginning just minutes later. For youth participants, registration is $10. All other individuals is $20. For full teams registering, cost for the clinic is $350; for teams with greater than 30 participants, registration is $500.

College athletics rundown BY GARY VAN DEN HEUVEL AND GIOVANNI ALBANESE JR. PHOTO BY DON JEDLOVEC In community college athletics, Chabot College men’s basketball team avenged a January loss to Ohlone College, beating the Renegades 92-80 on Feb. 2 and taking sole possession of second place in the Coast Conference North (CCN). Chabot’s offensive leader Jourdan DeMuynck put on a clinic, lighting up the scoreboard with 30 points. Center Kyle Luckett dominated the low post, hitting a doubledouble with 15 points and 15 rebounds, and Howie Manzo contributed 13 in the Gladiators’ home victory. Chabot finished the week with a 70-64 win on the road at Foothill College, led by Joshua De La Torre’s 14 points and Jacob Noisat’s 12. The Gladiators, with a 7-2 record in the

CCN, trail San Francisco City College by two games. Ohlone sits one game behind Chabot, with a 6-3 CCN record, and they bounced back from the Chabot loss to beat Las Positas College 61-50 on February 5. Scott Kenny was lights out from the perimeter, hitting six 3-pointers on his way to a 24-point performance. Gray added 9 points in the Renegades’ home victory. Ohlone’s women’s team remained in first place in the Coast Conference South division. Last week, they won 2 of 3 games, with their one loss coming to non-conference opponent Foothill by a 66-55 score. That loss was sandwiched in between two wins, a 67-36 hammering of Cabrillo College, and a 71-69 overtime thriller over second place De Anza. Chabot College’s women’s team dropped to fifth place in the CCN, losing 56-42 to Col-

lege of San Mateo. Charnay Bell led the Gladiators with 11 points, and Sharae Davis scored 9 in the defeat. Ohlone’s baseball team has high hopes as it begins the 2011 season. The Renegades began the year ranked number 4 in the NorCal preseason poll. However, Ohlone’s season started on an off-note, as they were edged 4-3 by West Valley College in their opener. Chabot started their season with a home-and-home series against Santa Rosa, and things didn’t go well for the Gladiators, who lost their opener 6-1 (February 3), then traveled to Santa Rosa (Feb. 5), where they lost 11-5. After both the men and women basketball teams for Cal State University-East Bay split a pair of games to end the month of January, the two struggling continued on page 25

sides — both more than 10 games under .500 — were on the losing end of both games to begin play in February. On Thursday night, East Bay played host to Cal State UniversityMonterey Bay. In the women’s contest, the Lady Pioneers were overwhelmed by the No. 25 nationally ranked team. Trailing 16-12 at the half, East Bay went cold in the second half, being outscored 36-9 en route to the 52-21 blowout. “We executed really well in the first half but we did not sustain that same effort in the second half,” said CSUEB coach Suzy Barcomb. As for the men on Thursday, CSUMB led by double digits most of the way to a 19-point win, 83-64. Mark Samuels led the Pioneers with 17 points in the loss. Both the men and women hoops teams lost on Feb. 5 at home to San Francisco State — the men (3-17, 1-15 CCAA) by an 8272 count and the women (2-19, 214 CCAA) by a 49-46 count.

East Bay’s water polo team hosted Sonoma State on Friday, Feb. 4, and improved to 2-1 with its 14-8 victory. The Lady Pioneers led virtually the whole way, leading 4-3 after one; 7-5 at the half and 12-7 heading into the final frame. Jayme Pekarske was

strong in net, stopping 12 shots. Sarah Grunberger led the offense with a four-goal outburst. Erica Crain and Carly Clark put in three each. East Bay then went to Pacific on Feb. 6 and dropped a close one, 7-6. East Bay’s diamond sports — baseball and softball — got underway over the weekend. On Friday, Feb. 4, the Pioneers baseball team began its season at home against Vanguard. The visitors raced out to a 9-0 lead before putting it in cruise control for a 124 win. Jake Davis had the best day for East Bay, going 2-3 with two RBIs. East Bay took one game in the series, a 3-1 triumph on Feb. 5 before falling 71 in the second end of a double header later that day. East Bay’s softball team went 3-1 over the weekend, sweeping a double header against Menlo on Feb. 5 — 2-0 and 10-3 — then splitting a doubleheader against Academy of Art on Feb. 6 — winning 7-2 and losing 4-1.

CSD (13-10, 5-3 BCL) traveled to Chinese Christian High of San Leandro on Monday, Feb. 7. Score was unavailable at press time. Meanwhile, Warriors have won 14 in a row, are 17-3 and 80 in the BCL.

In the Fremont game Gonzales, Romero and Shin had one goal each. Girls Soccer Trojan ladies tied Lynbrook, 0-0 on the road last Monday then won at Fremont, 4-1 last Friday. Kayla Owens got Milpitas (10-5-2, 7-1-1 El Camino) on the board first in the 30th minute of the first half only to see Fremont tie the score 1-1 just before halftime. Then within about a two-minute span late in the second half, Kelly Forsyth gave the Trojans the lead and Haley Garvey, after working hard all game, put in the insurance goal. Just before the final whistle, Lora Lee added one more goal for the victors. Wrestling Milpitas won at Harker Schools of San Jose, 53-23 last Thursday, Feb. 3.

Balance and focus observe civic contraction with satisfaction, there is also a dark side to the situation. Lean and efficient local government is certainly a positive development, but cannibalizing essential services is not pleasant or beneficial. So what can be done?

WILLIAM MARSHAK

n a presentation of economic conditions and a forecast for the Fremont area last week, Brad Kemp of Beacon Economics delivered an upbeat message tempered with the caution that all good news comes with a counterbalance of not-so-good news. For instance, business is beginning to emerge from the “Great Recession” but with a lean and efficient profile. The translation… positive growth news but negative for millions of unemployed whose jobs are lost to efficiency and automation. Kemp noted that recovery from the recent deep recession will not be a rapid bounce experienced during other weak economic cycles. Instead, lessons learned through the pain of deflating expectations and unsupported and overly optimistic equity assumptions, especially in housing, have resulted in a cautious approach to growth. Vigor without varnish and hyped glitz is stressful for those who have been harmed by or were beneficiaries of the housing and banking bubble, but that is today’s reality. Those employed within, dependent on or elected to the government sector have not been immune; surviving on tax dollars is an uneasy task and reality is a difficult road. Buffered for years by increasing tax revenue of unsupported growth, the deflating bubble has been catastrophic for all government functions. While some citizens

Some restructuring is occurring now; amalgamation of services such as consolidation of Newark and Union City Fire Departments with Alameda County Fire Department and the recently announced City of Fremont reorganization has helped government functions to become more efficient. More reductions of budgets and services are ahead, many of them highly visible and others less so. The governor’s threat to disestablish Redevelopment Agencies will throw the baby out with the bath water. Fraudulent, poorly structured and operated agencies spell doom for all. In many cases, results of redevelopment activities are indistinguishable from economic development – was this the intent of Redevelopment? The so-called multiplier effect of siphoning money from other entities who received kickbacks, called a “pass through,” created plenty of cash for cities to spend. While many good projects including affordable housing were completed and some cities will survive the Governor’s audit, others will probably reflect bloated salaries, excessive staff and misuse of funds. Through it all, the real question is whether all of us - public and private citizens - will have the strength of character to consider our options wisely, choosing those that make long term sense. The term “crisis” is arguably presented symbolically in Chinese characters by intertwined ideas: a crucial and perilous point of action which may result in a positive

or negative result. At critical times such as this, decisions not only direct the present, but shape the future as well. When in a desperate situation, there is a tendency to focus on buzz words and popular ideas that sound good at the moment. However, this approach may not always convey the true situation. In a concerted effort to become “green, clean and ready for the future,” Kemp cautions Fremont and its environs to use sober criteria to consider present and future demand for products and services. He sees Silicon Valley Research and Development growth as an economic engine for our area and believes biotechnology has great potential for the foreseeable future. The challenge for the Southeast Bay Area is to develop its own distinct identity while absorbing economic synergy from Silicon Valley. As Daniel LaRusso, a young, impetuous kid learned from Mr. Miyagi in the 1984 classic film, The Karate Kid, focus is essential. No matter what external factors compete for attention, we must balance the demands of an emerging economy with the focus necessary to plan for a beneficial future.

Paging Mr. Fauchier

roud grandparents are nothing new, but the opportunity to boast of a grandson selected for an exclusive position – one of only 64 in the United States - as a congressional page to serve members of the US Congress is exceptional. Fremont resident Lila Bringhurst can do just that. Grandson Jeremy Fauchier attended Chadbourne School and Hopkins Jr. High School in Fremont before the family moved to Los Banos in San Joaquin County. Now a junior at Los Banos High School, Jeremy is temporarily assigned to Page School in Washington, D.C. Along with the thrill of working closely with national lawmakers, he was present at the State of the Union Address and, following the

speech, shook hands with President Barack Obama. The excitement of being selected was heightened by the speed of his selection. In November, Jeremy’s father, Dennis, a member of the Los Banos Rotary listened to U.S Rep. Dennis Cardoza, DMerced speak at a Rotary meeting about the opportunity and describe application procedures. Following up, an informational packet arrived only days before the deadline. The rush to complete necessary forms was accomplished and in a whirlwind of subsequent events, Jeremy was off to Washington, D.C. Jeremy’s inclusion in the Page Program follows a historic tradition that began in the 20th Congress of 1827-29 with three

A Saturday seminar course is focused on the history and events that influence Washington’s political scene. So far, according to his mom, Jeremy loves the experience and is becoming proficient at finding his way between congressional chambers and buildings. As a consequence of his selection as a congressional page, Jeremy whose focus and academic strengths were in the areas of math and science has a heightened interest in politics. Whatever path he chooses, he will always have fond memories of being an integral part of the U.S. Congress and the camaraderie of fellow pages.

St. John’s School of Milpitas gets involved experienced quiet prayer activities, shared affirmations with each other, and witnessed a re-enaction of the Passion and Death of Jesus. The students also enjoyed a “storytelling session” in which they remembered events in their time together that helped them bond together to heal and inspire them in times of difficulty. The retreat team, led by Stanley Horyza, was comprised of youth and young adults who have participated in weekend retreats for a number of years.

STORY AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY CICI SUBILLA 2011 State of the County: A round of applause goes to our parish school choir for a job well done in the 2011 State of the County on January 25 at the Santa Clara County Governmental Center in downtown San Jose. The school choir, led by Sr. Divine Caabay, AR, was invited to sing the national anthem during the installation of Dave Cortese, President of County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. A special thanks to Milpitas Vice Mayor Pete McHugh for escorting the students and parents to the event. Our school is very proud and honored to have been

a part of this special celebration. Great job, SJBS Choir! Eighth Grade Retreat: The St. John’s School eighth graders attended their annual retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains on the weekend of January 21-23. Known as the LINC – “Life in Christ” – retreat, it gave the students the opportunity to reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Through a variety of activities, the students were able to deepen their relationship with Jesus. Morality skits and situations prompted the students to answer the question, “What Would Jesus Do?” if placed in situations and challenges familiar to today’s teenagers. The eighth graders also

Jazz, whose team members are aged between 14 and 16 years, flew from Utah each with regular and competition wheelchairs. Most wheelchair teams have Junior and Varsity divisions up to age 19 for a seamless transition to adult leagues. “Our team is drawn from a 60-mile radius. Even though Salt Lake is a big metropolitan area, there aren’t many kids in chairs, interested in playing competitive basketball. All teams are co-ed,” explained Marcie McIntosh, whose 16-year old daughter Eliza played recreational basketball for six years before joining Jazz [Utah]. “Our team was founded two years ago. Rancho is known for producing many talented players. As most events are on the East Coast, many people attend only four or five tournaments each year which means they usually practice alone. Honing competitive skills requires an aggressive schedule,” McIntosh added. The 2011 NWBA National Championship will be hosted across three venues in Denver. Thus, three tournaments will run simultaneously. This gives Dream Courts, which will have 31 basketball courts in April 2011, an opportunity to host the event in the future. With just nine teams competing in the NWBA Western Regional Youth Tournament, the nearest hotel was fully booked.

Several families stayed in Newark. Local stores enjoyed increased sales. Dream Courts and the City of Hayward hope to attract more businesses to cater for family visitors. “Thanks to everyone who came to Hayward, a great city. This facility will make Hayward greater. The Banks family and Dream Courts staff worked tirelessly to ensure this NWBA event happened. Not only is this the largest indoor sports facility nationwide, word is spreading locally and it’s quickly gaining attention as a national venue,” stated Councilman Olden Henson. “All the athletes played hard and exhibited superb sportsmanship and camaraderie. We look forward to welcoming you all back next year.” “Remember you’re the first to participate in the first event at Dream Courts. Nobody else can say that. We owe parents, coaches, BORP and Dream Courts staff a debt of gratitude for this tournament’s success,” concluded Johnson, appreciatively.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

February 8, 2011

Six artists, six styles BY MONA SHAH The painters at Jan’s Art Studio invite the public to view some of their most recent works at Mission Coffee in Fremont. Five artists work together at the studio to have shows throughout the year and sponsor one show each year for student artists. The studio artists, Nancy Benton, Therese Ely, Dmitry Grudsky, Ann-Marie Haley, Jan Schafir, and special guest artist Sophia Benton, age 9, will be showing their paintings. The show will include watercolors, oils, acrylics, and collages, all reflecting the artist’s personal expression. Jan Schafir has been painting most of her adult life. Art began as a hobby; she was trained as a professional registered nurse. She began her art career by taking lessons locally in Fremont. “The spontaneity of watercolor attracted me, as my personality is that of one who welcomes the unplanned challenges in life, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but never dull. I continue as an impressionistic painter, always excited by the unexpected effects of transparent watercolor,” says Schafir. Ron Newcomb has been painting with oil for 35 years. He received his certification in landscape instruction from the Bob Ross Co. and he continues to tech the Bob Ross “wet on wet technique.” “If there is an artist within you, it will eventually emerge especially when you reach retirement age. This was my awakening after my retirement in 1995. With freedom from the working world and some leisure time, I finally had the opportunity to look within myself and give birth to those unfulfilled desires and creativity,” says artist Ann-Marie Haley.

Award-winning artist Therese LaChance Ely lives and paints in Fremont. She is known for her “Sierra-scapes”, inspired by backpacking and canoeing adventures in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and other off-road destinations. Her paintings often begin with a mini sketchbook, brush, and camera tucked into a pack pouch. Her work, whether rendered in oil, gouache, watercolor, or accented with collage, is completed in-studio. “My goal is to capture both the tranquility and exuberance that is the beauty of nature”. Dmitry Grudsky career started with drawing, as early as seven years old and through the past 30 years, he has progressed with a number of different painting mediums: as well as mural

show ball. It becomes larger and larger. As I work consistently, day-by-day, I keep accumulating new ideas that inspire me to do new projects,” says Grudsky An artist reception will be held on Sunday, February 13 at Mission Coffee in Fremont. Music will be provided by Jules Goldberg. Six Artists – Six Styles Through February Artist reception Sunday, February 13 3 pm to 5 pm. Mission Coffee Roasting 151 Washington Blvd., Fremont (510) 791-9290

designing. His inspiration comes from different objects that surround him in his daily life. He is drawn to the human figure and he loves to paint colorful people at street fairs and stadiums. “The painting process is like a rolling

Jason Livermore, Firefighter of the Year SUBMITTED BY HAYWARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Leadership, a strong sense of duty and devotion to his profession and the community he serves are how colleagues describe Capt. Jason Livermore, Hayward Fire Department. A nephew of uncles who served in the San Francisco Fire Department, Livermore began working toward his career goal as a teenager in the City of Fremont’s Fire Explorer program, then attended the California’s best Firefighter Academy at Chabot College and trained as a paramedic. By the time he was 21, he had been hired by Hayward Fire Department. Livermore has served the department in various roles – as a firefighter, as a captain on both engine and truck companies, as a fire academy instructor and president of the firefighters bargaining unit Local 1909. His dedication to professional development has led him to take specialized training in areas such as extracting victims from wrecked vehicles, rescue techniques, fighting wild-land fires and the course work to become a licensed mobile intensive care paramedic. He and his crew are the latest recipients of the department’s medal of Valor for the actions in going to the aid of a Mt. Eden High School Student who was subjected to a group attack. Livermore has a long record of community service, including work with the Hayward

Firefighters’ Toys for Tots program, the Matt Jimenez Charity Golf Tournament, the Sun gallery, the Hayward Police Department’s gun buy-back program, the Special Olympics, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Girls, Inc., St. Rose Hospital and others. “Jason cares about the serving the public and providing all-around fire service to the community,” said his colleague Mike Hildebrand. “He is professional on the street and in the firehouse.” Livermore received his award, sponsored by Waste Management of Alameda County, at the Hayward Chamber of Commerce’s 67th Annual Celebration Awards Gala at Cal State University, East Bay on January 22, 2011.
