BY MARLENE TEEL-HEIM Hayward, Portland University in Oregon, The Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco and, of course, the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles is celebrating the life and artwork of Corita Kent. Hayward is no stranger to Corita; exhibitions of her
artwork were shown at the Sun Gallery and Hayward’s City Hall when she visited in the 80’s. And now, 25 years later, Hayward
again hosts a Corita Celebration featuring an extraordinary exhibit of prints and watercolors loaned by friends and private collectors. Corita is one of America’s most celebrated serigraph artists.

rtists with different backgrounds and styles of work share a common bond in “Open Roads,” the next exhibit at the Olive Hyde Gallery. Here you will find works in photography, watercolor, oils and glass by award-winning artists whose works have been published in the American Style Magazine, The Artists Magazine and The New York Times, to name a few. Their works are sold in numerous art galleries and dozens of museums across the nation. Featured artists are Sarah Regnier, James Torlakson and Joshua Hershman. James Torlakson: Torlakson is best known for photo-based realism. His imagery has centered on “everyday” America, shifting over the years from trucks, to railways, to amusement parks, to waterfronts, to deserted drive-in theatres, to coastal landscapes. Through these shifts in subject matter, related architecture has been a steadily repeated motif. Torlakson has been working as a professional fine artist since 1971. His realist oils, watercolors, aquatint etchings, and drawings have been widely exhibited nationally and internationally. Many of Torlaksons’ artworks are

Her hallmark style blends unique and colorful images with provocative texts, winning international acclaim; her original artworks can be found in major museums worldwide. As Sister Corita, she was an art professor at Immaculate Heart College from 1951 to 1968, transforming the art department into a hub of artistic creativity. Her teaching style centered on the idea that “creativity belongs to the artist in each of us.” Her work and teaching reflect spirituality, a commitment to social justice, hope for peace, and delight in the world all around us. In 1968, Corita left the Sisters and moved to Boston, where she created numerous commissioned works as well as her own serigraphs and plein air watercolor paintings. Her work included the design of the 150-foot Boston Gas Tank, the largest copyrighted artwork on record. It stands as a beacon to pilots landing at Logan International Airport as well as commuters on the Southeast Expressway in

Boston. In 1985, the U.S. Postal Service issued her Love stamp, an edition of 700 million, the largest selling stamp to date. Corita remained active in social causes until she lost a courageous battle with cancer in 1986. A memorial exhibit and celebration of her life was held that year in Hayward at the Sun Gallery where Louise M. Davies, of Davies Symphony Hall, expressed her admiration of this remarkable woman and artist. Her art was once a wellknown symbol of the Peace Movement. Today, Corita’s art transcends that era, and continues to deliver inspirations of hope and joy. In a world struggling to find meaning, this exhibition and celebration is sure to inspire and motivate both novice and connoisseur art audiences alike. The gala reception will feature many of Corita’s prints and watercolors, speakers and friends

housed in permanent collections of American Museums. Sarah Regnier: Regnier studies the light before capturing an image; this is always the foundation to her photographs. It is what creates the mood and alters shapes and lines within the composition. She uses both light and composition to interpret the beauty of her subjects, whether a landscape in Yosemite or a classic car parked in an alley. Her goal is to create an intimacy between the subject and the viewer, the same intimacy she experiences with her subject as the shutter is released creating an image. Regnier was heavily immersed in the photojournalism community. She also worked closely with commercial and fine art photographer, Tom O’Neal, known internationally for his 1960’s Rock and Roll photography. Over the last three years, she has been exploring both nature and automotive photography, using a variety of mediums and cameras. In 2009, two of Sarah’s automotive images were published in The New York Times. Joshua Hershman: Hershman is a mixed-media artist who primarily works with glass, photography, and found objects. He first started working with glass in 1997 and has exhibited throughout Canada, Holland, Mexico and the United

The southeast shores of San Francisco Bay have played an important role as the Bay Area landscape has revealed artifacts of paleontological interest, archeology remains and information collected from more recent residents. Historical collections of past generations are critical to understanding and appreciating the present and developing a future course of action. Historical societies and those active within them recognize the crucial role of remembering and preserving information left to us by previous generations. Noted local historians Phil Holmes and Jill Singleton have recently completed their latest book, Centerville, Fremont, part of the Images of America series from Arcadia Publishing. The authors have previously written two other books for the series entitled, Niles, Fremont and Irvington, Fremont. The new book covers the town and emerging Centerville district of what is now part of the City of Fremont from the 1850’s until today. With over 200 historic photographs, it shows the town in horse and buggy days on the main

States. Throughout his career, Hershman has worked closely with internationally recognized artists and collaborated with many mixed-media artists on experimental installation sculpture projects. His work can be found in many galleries and private collections throughout North America. Olive Hyde curator, Sandra Hemsworth states, “I chose these three artists for their different interests and perspectives in relation to using autos, trailers, carts, buses, etc. in their work. I also liked that all three have an interest in cars at times, from a nostalgic era. Their work on the subject evokes that to the viewer.” So, zoom on over to Olive Hyde’s Open Road Exhibit and sit back and enjoy the view.

n observance of American Heart Month during February, Washington Hospital’s Food & Nutrition Services are cooking up something special. “We always emphasize providing healthy meals for our patients and people who dine in the hospital cafeteria,” says Kimberlee Alvari, R.D., Food & Nutrition Services Clinical Nutrition Manager. “During February, though, we are offering ‘Sweetheart Specials’ every Tuesday, featuring new menu items that meet hearthealthy criteria. “We also are providing information and recipes so people can learn to prepare heart-healthy meals at home,” she adds. “We’ve done this sort of thing in the past and gotten a very positive response, but this year we wanted to extend our efforts further into the community.” In this case, reaching into the community involved having the hospital’s registered dietitians work with the chefs at Strizzi’s Restaurant, a local Italian eatery located near the hospital. “It’s no secret that it’s much harder to eat a healthy meal when you’re dining out,” Alvari notes. “We’ve all grown accustomed to enjoying fancy restaurant meals that often include fatty cuts of

Learn About Medications and Other Treatment Options
Do you have a hard time breathing through your nose? Do you wake up with a headache or stuffy nose? Maybe your nose runs a little more than it should. It could be just a cold or allergies. But it could also be something more serious. “This is the time of year when many people are dealing with lingering colds or the start of the spring allergy season, both of which can affect the sinuses,” said Dr. Piali Dattaray, a member of the Washington Hospital staff who specializes in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat). “It’s important to distinguish whether your sinus issues are due to a cold or allergies, or if something else is going on.” Dattaray will provide answers at an upcoming seminar titled “Do You Have Sinus Problems?” The free seminar is scheduled for Tuesday, February 22, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., 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. “Sinus infections are one of the most common reasons people miss work and take antibiotics,” she said. “But antibiotics are only one component of the treatment for sinusitis.” Dattaray will talk about sinusitis, which refers to any sinus infection that causes inflammation, and other sinus issues. She will also discuss some of the treatments that are available, including medications and surgical options. When the sinus openings become blocked or too much mucus builds up, bacteria and other germs can grow inside the nasal passages causing an infection, she explained. This build up is most often caused by colds and allergies, but structural issues like a deviated septum or polyps inside the nose can also contribute to a blockage. Sinusitis is categorized by how long it has lasted, with acute being less than four weeks. Sub-acute is when it lasts four to 12 weeks and chronic sinusitis lasts three months or longer. She said most acute cases of sinusitis are caused by an infection that results from an upper respiratory tract infection. However, allergens or pollutants can also trigger acute sinusitis. Sinusitis can also be complicated by factors such as nasal polyps or even fungal infections, she added. Finding Relief “There are a number of treatment options that can help patients get relief,” Dattaray said. “Most patients with sinusitis will improve in about two weeks. If symptoms are prolonged or you are experiencing severe headaches, facial swelling, or vision problems, you should seek medical care.” She will talk about some of the medications that are available, including nasal sprays and antihistamines. While prescription steroid nasal sprays can help alleviate blockages caused by polyps and allergies, she cautions against using over-the-counter decongestant nasal sprays. “Prolonged use of decongestant nasal sprays causes a rebound effect,” Dattaray explained. “The nose becomes physically dependent on them and it can get to the point where you need them all the time to breathe.” She will also talk about the benefits of natural remedies like saline washes and humidifiers. She said cleansing the nasal passages with a saline solution can help to flush out germs and allergens, while using a humidifier at night helps to keep the nasal passages moist. When other treatments aren’t working, it may be time to consider surgical options, according to Dattaray. She will discuss some of the procedures that are available, including balloon sinuplasty. “This is a newer endoscopic procedure that is done on an outpatient basis using either local or general anesthesia,” she said. “It uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to enlarge the sinus passageways without damaging the lining of the sinuses.” Dattaray said the balloon sinuplasty is less invasive than a traditional endoscopic procedure, which can also be done on an outpatient basis but requires general anesthesia. The traditional endoscopic procedure is also done through the nose without making an incision. The procedure opens the natural passages of the sinuses and uses image-guidance technology. It is particularly useful for people with severe disease or structural blockages, such as nasal polyps, she added. Learn More About Sinus Problems To learn more about treatment options for sinus problems, come to the free Health and Wellness seminar on Tuesday, February 22, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Conrad E.

ehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have engines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides and/or piston rings. Generally speaking, an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair. Normally, engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1,500 miles. Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the problem and thus avoid the engine work needed. However, it should be pointed out that, eventually, oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether.
Are you spewing blue smoke? Do you buy oil by the case instead of the quart? If so, you need to call BAY STAR AUTO CARE to get your engine checked. Our ASE-certified technicians will find the cause and fix it right, the first time you bring it in. And even if your car is fine, now is a great time schedule some preventive maintenance, so that we can catch and correct problems before your engine starts coughing blue smoke out the tailpipe. That can save you time, headaches, and money down the line. And don't forget that we do smog checks

AC Transit develops a fare policy SUBMITTED BY CLARENCE JOHNSON To make fares easy to understand, transparent, predictable and appropriate n
The AC Transit Board of Directors is soliciting input on whether to develop a policy that would simplify the fare structure and adjust prices at pre-determined intervals to end surprising, unexpected fare rises and enable the District to better forecast its revenues. A comprehensive policy would make fares more logical, equitable
and rational and remove the uncertainty of fare increases for bus riders by keeping them appraised of forthcoming changes well in advance. “Nobody likes to raise fares but a fare policy will make the process easier to understand and prepare for by allowing everybody - the District and its bus riders - to better know when and what to expect,” said AC Transit Interim General Manager Mary King. “It certainly gives the District a better way to plan its budget and more accurately gauge how much revenue will be available to maintain operations and keep buses on the street.”
The Fare Policy is still being developed but it could result in predictable fare increases based on a two-year/three-year cycle. The fare structure would also include changes to pass prices over time. If enacted, the policy would be similar to those at some other transit agencies. AC Transit is currently seeking public input on the plan, including a community meeting to be held on Thursday, February 17, 2011 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the AC Transit General Offices, 1600 Franklin Street, Oakland. The public can also contribute to continued on page 5

Volunteers sought for program for troubled teens SUBMITTED BY SHARON HOLLIS The new Tri-Cities Youth Court serving Fremont, Newark, Union City is seeking youth and adult voluteers, training will be provided for all positions. TriCities Youth Court (TCYC) helps teens who are arrested by providing them the opportunity to participate in a Juvenile Diversion Program as a positive alternative to going through the court process. The objective of the program is to help prevent troubled teens from continued involvement in illegal behavior and help turn their life around. Community Youth Courts offer diversion programs to middle and high school teens who have been arrested for misdemeanor or lesser crimes in the
Southern Contra Costa County, Tri-Cities, and Tri Valley areas of Alameda County. Youth Courts are entirely voluntary and address the early stages of juvenile delinquency by bringing teenage offenders before a jury of their peers. Sentencing includes constructive sanctions such as community service, jury duty, Life Choices class, apologies and/or restitution using restorative justice principles. Emphasis is placed on maintaining respectful treatment of offenders and victims. Participating youth learn about making responsible choices and accepting the consequences for their actions. Recidivism rates are very low, so there is less crime and less money lost in having to process the youth offenders through the juvenile court system. Successful comple-

Movie Review
You’ve heard of dog and horse shows, but are you familiar with rabbit shows? “Rabbit Fever” is a coming-of-age story that follows six
competitors as they strive to win the top title at the National American Rabbit Convention – an event that draws more than 20,000 rabbits in one building, the largest mass of rabbits in the world. While adult members of the rabbit habit compete for “Best in Show,” teenage enthusiasts quest for an even more coveted honor in the rabbit community – Rabbit King and Queen. Director Amy Do captured over 150 hours of footage, docu-
menting the same rabbit enthusiasts at the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association National Convention over the course of five
years. Do initially produced Rabbit Fever as a 20-minute documentary short for her film class while studying at the University of Southern California. It wasn’t until Academy-Award nominated instructor, Chuck Braverman (director of the documentary, Curtain Call), approached her after class and asked if he could cut a promo version of the film to pitch to television networks that Do felt encouraged to flesh out the subject and make it feature-length.
The reason behind making a film about rabbits in the first place? “I used to be one of them.” Do states and laughs, referring to the passionate people that appear in “Rabbit Fever.” At age 11, Do cared for two pet Dutch rabbits of her own, taking pride in the fact that they followed her around everywhere. Later on, at age 20, Do
BY MONA SHAH Pioneer Bhangra is a dance competition organized by Associated Students Inc. and students of California State University East Bay (CSUEB). The event is an opportunity to enjoy a night of music, dance, and fun in the tradition of the Punjabi folkdance, Bhangra. Bhangra is a generic term that has been adopted to describe modern Asian pop music. However, it is actually the correct term for traditional agricultural folk music originating from the Punjab region on the Indian sub-continent. The mission of the organization is to produce the best show possible and share the rich culture of this dance with the community at large. Pioneer Bhangra was founded in 2009 and their first show was a resounding suc-
cess. With participating teams from all over North America and the Bay Area, the show is back, bigger and better, showcasing extraordinary performances by top bhangra teams and special guest performers. Pioneer Bhangra Saturday, Feb 19

decided that she missed having rabbits and decided to raise a couple of purebred Dwarf Hotots in her college apartment. “My landlord didn’t mind. He was too intrigued by the sight of them to worry about the fact that pets weren’t really allowed in the building,” Do admits. “Of course, I think the little doll couch that I purchased for
them to lounge on might have thrown him off a bit.” “Although the intense competition drives the film forward to its climax, the heart of Rabbit Fever lies within the passion, charm and sometimes quirkiness of its subjects. You can replace the teens’ love of rabbits with any other hobby or sport, and empathize with their motivation and goals. It’s just another vehicle that young adults use to challenge and express themselves, making Rabbit Fever not only a film about rabbits, but also a very unique coming-of-age story,” says Do.

To date, Stortz and Harrington say Washington Hospital’s Pulmonary Rehab program is the only program in Northern California using the Wii and they hope to continue expanding to incorporate new and innovative uses for it. “We were very lucky to obtain the grant money for the Wii Fit and we think it has a lot of potential for the future,” according to Stortz. For patients who use the Wii at home, when weather conditions such as the cold or heat would keep them at home indoors and inactive, they can now exercise year round in a fun and interesting way.
“Plus, exercise is always more fun when you don’t realize how hard you are working!” Harrington says. Learn More About Pulmonary Rehabilitation The pulmonary rehabilitation program at Washington Hospital provides one-on-one counseling and support for patients who are candidates for pulmonary rehabilitation, including patients who suffer from shortness of breath and may have asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, or other respiratory diseases. The program requires a physician referral. For more information, visit www.whhs.com/pulmonary-rehabilitation/ or call (510) 494-7025.
Hayward Unified School District Board meeting report Lisa Davies, Bret Harte Middle Principal, recognized as Outstanding Educator of the Year
BY ROBIN MICHEL At the January 12 Hayward Unified School District Board of Education meeting, Principal Lisa Davies was recognized for her recent honor of being named Hayward’s Educator of the Year by the Hayward Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Davies has served as principal of Bret Hart Middle School for the past six years, first joining HUSD one year earlier as assistant principal at the School. She is dedicated to providing an equitable learning environment for all students, with rigorous and relevant instruction that will equip them with the skills necessary to continue their academic pathway. Ms. Davies began her teaching career in Daly City, where she taught for four years and served as a mentor teacher and administrative intern. She represented the American Federation of Teachers as a leader in education, working on the Commission on Teacher Credentialing Standards Committee and representing AFT on the California State PTA. She earned her administrative credential at San Francisco State University, and served as an assistant principal in the San Bruno School District before coming to Hayward. Ms. Davies was honored at a gala celebration held at California State University East Bay on January 22. Superintendent Janis Duran provided the Board of Education with the Mid-Year Status Report of the Superintendent’s Action Plan, which was approved by the Board at the September 8, 2010 Board meeting. The Superintendent’s Action Plan provides the steps to implement and monitor the Board Goals, which were initially approved December 9, 2009, and revised on February 23, 2010. The five goals each contain a desired outcome, which include: All schools and the district will increase their API to 800 or beyond and meet safe harbor for AP (Goal #1: Increase academic excellence…) Increase staff development and retention of Staff (Goal #2: Foster District and school leadership); Reduce number of incidents that lead to incident reports, suspensions & expulsions (Goal #3: …create a safe and supportive learning environment); Return budget to positive certification while implementing financial plans that promote social justice, equity and responsibility (Goal #4: Sustain efficient business service practices); Increase parent participation/engagement through sustained website updates and other communications on a regular basis (Goal #5: Build positive community relations). Superintendent Duran’s report carried detailed information about action steps for
each goal, including various professional development trainings held District-wide and at specific sites. Many of the programs and strategies were implemented through the School Improvement Grants at Longwood and Burbank Elementary Schools and Tennyson High School (Goal #1); and interventions offered to at risk-students, including credit recovery and CAHSEE preparation; anti-bullying programs, including sensitivity training for school resource officers and campus supervisors, a parent training on cyberbullying; and a brief overview of the Comprehensive Emergency Plan and the District Safety Committee (Goal #3). Although the report did not contain data, Superintendent Duran reassured the Board that data was being collected and would be reported out during her final year-end report. Superintendent Irene Fujii, Eden Area Regional Occupation Program (ROP), also presented an update to the Board. Eden Area ROP, which is a joint venture of Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro and San Lorenzo School Districts, and is celebrating its 40th year. The program offers multiple career pathways for students, providing an exciting hands-on experiential curriculum in over 135 career-preparation courses. Many ROP courses have been articulated with Chabot College, and students can earn college credit. Dr. Fujii was accompanied by two young women who recently earned a gold medal in a recent Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) competition, and one spoke passionately about how before enrolling in the program, she had no interest in school. She credited ROP for changing her life and giving her a career pathway. Trustee Luis Reynoso, who sits on the Board of Eden ROP, called the program “an undiscovered jewel.” He asked the students if they felt prepared to enter college and the workplace, and they replied with great confidence. Mr. Reynoso then invited Eden Area ROP teacher John Taylor to join Dr. Fujii and the students and describe in more detail the competition, which has regional, state and national levels. Currently, Eden Area ROP has held the state championship for three years; and this year, they won third place – the bronze medal – at the national competition. Dr. Fujii announced that everyone was invited to the 40th Anniversary Open House on Saturday, February 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Included will be a pancake breakfast to help raise funds for twelve programs going to the competitions. The event will also hold a College and Career Fair so that students and families can talk with and receive information from various representatives from Bay Area colleges. Eden Area ROP is located at 26316 Hesperian Blvd., in Hayward. For information call (510) 293-2900.

Carbon monoxide detectors BY MEENU GUPTA Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. Because of this, to make sure that homes are safe from CO problems, installation of carbon monoxide detectors are recommended. According to the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2010 an approved carbon monoxide device listed by the State Fire Marshal should be installed on every level of a home, especially in the sleeping areas, with a fossil fuel burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage. Detectors should be installed within the earliest applicable time period for all existing single-family dwelling units on or before July
1, 2011. All other existing dwelling units intended for human occupancy should comply on or before January 1, 2013. With respect to the number and placement of carbon monoxide devices, an owner shall install CO detection devices in a manner consistent with building standards applicable to new construction for the relevant type of occupancy or with the manufacturer’s instructions, if it is technically feasible to do so. A carbon monoxide device shall be operable at the time a tenant takes possession. Tenants shall be responsible for notifying the owner or owner’s agent if they become aware of an inoperable or deficient carbon monoxide device within his or her unit.

hese little bloodsuckers are not your run of the mill boring Twlight movie vampires. They are small multilegged parasites that lurk in tall grasses and attach themselves to any unsuspecting, warm-blooded victim passing by and then drink their fill. The unfortunate blood donor can be a horse, cow, moose, mountain lion or other mammal, including your family animal companion… or you. If the host is infested with a great number of ticks, they can cause anemia, and transmit a number of serious diseases including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. A result of paralysis and death is not unknown. There are a variety of tick species and a general increase in activity in the fall and early spring during warming spells, but they can attack at any time. Longer days and rising temperatures are a signal to these little blood-thirsty critters that it’s time to seek food. Ticks can sense body heat or carbon dioxide from nearby potential prey and grab on for a feast. They usually drop off when they are full, but feeding can last for several days increasing exposure to disease. Ticks can be found in just about any wooded or brushy area, in tall grass where you may wander with your canine companion, unaware of the danger. They are common where deer live and along hiking trails, hillsides and meadows and can be found in abundance near water where warm-blooded animals come to drink It would be safe to say these critters are not our friends and we need protection from them. So what can we do to minimize becoming targets and enjoy roving in nature with our furry buddies? While tick control products do a good job of preventing infestations or controlling an existing problem, none are 100% effective all of the time. It’s always a good idea to check your dog and yourself after a hike in the great outdoors. A thorough body check, especially around your dog’s head and stomach, is in order. If you do find an attached tick, the following information provided by Drs. Smith and Foster should be considered before you try removal on your own: To remove an attached tick, use a pair of
fine-tipped tweezers or special tick removal instruments. These special devices allow one to remove the tick without squeezing the tick body. This is important as you do not want to crush the tick and force harmful bacteria to leave the tick and enter your companion animal’s bloodstream. Grab the tick by the head or mouth parts right where they enter the skin. Do not grasp the tick by the body. Without jerking, pull firmly and steadily directly outward. Do not twist the tick as you are pulling. Using methods such as applying petroleum jelly, a hot match, or alcohol will NOT cause the tick to ‘back out.’ In fact, these irritants may cause the tick to deposit more disease-carrying saliva in the wound. After removing the tick, place it in a jar of alcohol to kill it. Ticks are NOT killed by flushing them down the toilet. Clean the bite wound with a disinfectant. Apply a small amount of a triple antibiotic ointment if desired. Wash your hands thoroughly. Do not use your fingers to remove or dispose of the tick. You do not want contact with a potentially disease-carrying parasite. Do NOT squash it with your fingers. The contents of the tick can transmit disease. Once an embedded tick is manually removed, it is not uncommon for a welt and skin reaction to occur. A little hydrocortisone spray will help alleviate the irritation, but it may take a week or more for healing to take place. In some cases, the tick bite may permanently scar leaving a hairless area. This skin irritation is due to a reaction to tick saliva. Do not be worried about the tick head staying in; it rarely happens. More safety tips: • Never use tick products designed for dogs on your cat, or vice versa. Avoid using any tick killing product on very young, senior, pregnant, or sick animals unless directed to do so by a veterinarian. • Always read the ingredients, instructions, and warnings on the package thoroughly. • If you live in a wooded or brushy area, or share frequent trips with your dog along trails and parklands, you may want to discuss with your veterinarian whether Lyme disease vaccine is appropriate for your animal companion.

councilmember Carol Dutra-Vernaci. Explorer Captain Alma Aguilera was awarded Explorer of the Year honors and the Officer Joe Leon Memorial Community Service Award. This award was developed by the Explorer Post Advisors to recognize the individual who has provided the most community service hours and has made a positive impact in the community. “The explorers have donated over 2300 hours of community service to the City of Union City,” said Officer Ryan Seto, COPPS Unit, Union City Police Department, senior advisor to the post; Officer Jon Persinger is the co-advisor. “The explorers have worked long and hard throughout the year to keep our post active within the community and the Police Department,” he said. “One of the main goals of our program is to provide skills our explorers can use throughout their lives
to ensure success in whatever career path they choose. We pride ourselves in having the most active, knowledgeable, professional, and hard working explorers in the State of California.” he added. Since the program emphasizes municipal law enforcement, scouts are called “Police Explorers”. Explorers attend weekly meetings and receive training in various law enforcement subjects. Each Explorer rides with a Union City police officer once a month. Some attend a one-week Explorer Academy. These volunteers assist police officers controlling traffic at parades and other special events, perform administrative duties for the Traffic Section, Patrol Section, Investigations Sections, Personnel and Training Section, Community Oriented Policing Unit, Records and Communications. “It gives me pleasure to see explorers change as they mature within our program. You will notice an increase of confidence, discipline and leadership skills, as your children promote within the post,” said Officer Seto. A short movie provided parents with a glimpse of training, events, competitions, and community service by Union City Explorers.

became a center of activity during the agricultural gold rush. The area around the town center soon became covered by fields of grain. Plantings of fruit trees along Alameda Creek expanded and Centerville became a center for the fruit industry; the apricot reigned supreme. In 1868 Centerville was described as “a collection of wooden false-front facades facing a street that was mud in winter and dust in summer.” By 1878 Centerville had become a town of substance and an agricultural supply center that became the main source of dried apricots for Alameda County by 1900. The Centerville Athletic Club opened as the only incorporated organization of its kind in Washington Township. More changes came to Centerville. Washington High School opened on the present Peralta Avenue. A horse car railroad came from Newark and was replaced by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1909. In 1910, Centerville was described as a town that was “noticeable for its perfect cleanness, well built stores, comfortable residences and tree-bordered streets.” Credit was given to residents who had made it what it was. It had a bank and a wide variety of business interests that made it “the hub of Washington Township.” Booth Cannery came to Centerville in 1922, followed by the William’s brothers vegetable packing warehouses. Washington High School moved to a new campus on Main Street. Changes came rapidly after World War II. Center Theater opened in 1946. Throngs of people came looking for houses and subdivisions which changed the landscape. More automobile agencies were built on Main Street and Centerville became the auto center for dealers and repairs
in Washington Township. Centerville became part of the City of Fremont in 1956. Main Street, also known as Old Highway 17, became Fremont Boulevard, and the road to Niles was changed to Peralta Avenue. The Hub Shopping Center opened in 1961 and the City of Fremont launched the long, tortuous process of establishing a central business district. The little town of Centerville, once known as “Hub
City,” has struggled at times to prosper and develop as part of the modern City of Fremont. The book is divided into six chapters: The first is entitled “Go West Young Man”, and briefly reviews the years 1840 – 1879, the beginning of the town of Centerville. The second, “Salt of the Earth,” 1880-1889, pictures some of the events and activities of the time and introduces a few important people, farming and business activities. The 20 years from 1898 to 1919 are covered in the third chapter entitled “All the World’s a Stage.” This chapter includes parades, schools, sports, business and Sycamore Farm. The fourth chapter is entitled “Tennis, Anyone?” The first picture is about Helen Wills and tennis, but many photos are of Booth Cannery, Cloverdale
people in the development of the City of Fremont. It will call to mind the planning, dedication and struggle required to develop our modern city. All books in Arcadia’s “Image of America” series have 128 pages so they are easy to carry. The Centerville book has over 230 pictures in those 128 pages. The public is invited to the following book signings: Saturday, Feb 19: Centerville Train Depot, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday, Mar 5: Fremont Main Library, 10 a.m. – 12 noon Monday, Mar 28: Museum of Local History, 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (Washington Township Historical Society event) Centerville, Fremont can be purchased at the Museum of Local History (190 Anza Street, Fremont) Wednesdays and Fridays 10-4 p.m. All proceeds from book sales that benefit Museum partner shops and the authors will go directly to the Museum.

California open primary system to get first test BY DON THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
www.pachecobrothers.com
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), Feb 12 - Voters upset with partisan gridlock in the nation’s most populous state decided last year to try a new way of electing lawmakers - an open primary system in which only the top two votegetters advance, even if they are from the same political party. The new process gets its first test Tuesday with special elections in two Southern California state Senate districts. It is the first of two voter-approved remedies for a system in which most lawmakers are chosen from safe Democratic or Republican districts. California voters also have removed redistricting authority from state lawmakers, instead establishing an independent citizens commission to draw legislative and congressional boundaries. Both reforms are designed to help moderate politicians win election, theoretically reducing political polarization. The old system favored highly conservative, small-government Republicans and liberal, unionbacked Democrats who generally vote the party line in Sacramento and are poles apart on almost every issue, ensuring that most attempts at consensus quickly run aground. As an example of how entrenched the parties have become, just one seat changed party hands out of 100 state legislative contests last November. Political strategists say candidates will have to appeal to a broader constituency now that Republicans, Democrats, independents and members of minor parties are all choosing from the same list of candidates. “If you have two Democrats, I can tell you which one is going to win - the one who can reach Republicans, the one who can reach decline-to-state, the one who can reach everybody,” said former California lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado, a Republican. “You’re going to have to be fair and pragmatic or you’re going to lose.” As a state senator in 2009, Maldonado insisted that lawmakers put Proposition 14 on the ballot before he would vote to raise $13 billion in temporary tax increases. The measure, which had financial backing from former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, won with 54 percent voter support in last June’s primary. The new rules are having the desired effect in Los Angeles County’s 28th Senate District special election to replace Democratic Sen. Jenny Oropeza of Long Beach, who died in office last year of complications from a blood clot. Former Assemblyman Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, is the front-runner. He faces not only another Democrat,
but also four Republicans and two candidates who declared no party preference. Lieu previously represented more than half the Senate district’s voters in the Assembly. Lieu, who lost a Democratic primary bid for state attorney general last year, sent political mailers to likely voters regardless of their political affiliation and hosted a telephone “town hall” aimed at registered Republicans. The top two candidates will head to a runoff election if no one receives more than 50 percent of the vote. Former Democratic consultant Darry Sragow said the primary is likely to leave 28th Senate District voters with a choice between two Democrats in the special general election, scheduled for April 19. That’s because 48 percent of the district’s voters are Democrats, 25 percent Republicans and 20 percent decline-to-state, said Sragow, who teaches politics at the University of Southern California. He also co-edits the California Target Book, which analyzes legislative and congressional campaigns. Harvey Hukari is trying to make sure a Republican is in that mix. Hukari is the political consultant for Republican Bob Valentine, an attorney from Manhattan Beach and the only candidate besides Lieu who is spending significant money on the race. Valentine spent nearly $55,000 through January, compared to more than $228,000 by Lieu. But it was enough for Valentine to mail fliers targeted to likely Republican voters, and to Democrats who live in households where someone else is registered Republican. The new system will make campaigns more expensive, analysts said, because candidates will have to reach voters of all persuasions and potentially spend a lot of money in both primary and general election campaigns. Safe incumbents typically face little if any primary challenge now. “Now all voters matter. You’re not just playing to your primary base,” said Republican strategist Kevin Spillane, who is not involved in either race. “The thought is it will create Republicans and Democrats who are less ideological because they have to attract a broader coalition to gain office.” The system will gets its first test in a congressional race later this year when a special election is held to replace Rep. Jane Harman in a Los Angeles-area district. The eight-term Democrat will resign her seat by the end of the month to lead a nonpartisan think tank. California’s top-two system is modeled after Washington state’s open primary, adopted in 2008. It will not affect next year’s presidential primary but will govern all other state and federal primaries. Six plaintiffs affiliated with the Democratic and Libertarian par-
Blogger Protections - NJ court weighing limits of journalist shield law BY DAVID PORTER ASSOCIATED PRESS TRENTON, N.J. (AP), Feb 08 - Shellee Hale readily admits she operates outside the boundaries of traditional media, but says that shouldn’t disqualify her from being covered by a New Jer-
sey law that protects reporters from having to identify confidential sources. That contention is at the heart of a lawsuit argued before New Jersey’s Supreme Court on Tuesday that is putting the socalled ``Shield Law’’ under a microscope in a case that could
ties, as well as two groups calling themselves the Reform Party and Socialist Action, sued over two provisions of the California law. The two political groups are not recognized by the secretary of state’s office because they have not met the minimum requirements for an organized political party. The plaintiffs argue that it is unconstitutional for the state to discard write-in votes in the general election, although write-ins will be counted in primaries. They also contend it is unfair to prohibit candidates with unofficial political groups from listing their affiliations on the ballot. While Republican, Democrat, American Independent, Green, Libertarian, and Peace and Freedom party members can list their affiliations because they are recognized by the state, other candidates must register as having “no party preference.” “That is fundamentally unconstitutional and just plain wrong,” said Gautam Dutta, an attorney from Fremont who is representing the plaintiffs. “No candidate should be muzzled.” A San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled against the lawsuit in September. No minor-party or independent candidates are on the ballot in Tuesday’s other special primary, in a sprawling district north of Los Angeles County. A Republican and a Democrat are the only ones trying to succeed Republican state Sen. George Runner in Senate District 17, where Republicans hold a voter registration edge of just 2 percentage points. He resigned after he was elected to the state Board of Equalization last November. Runner’s wife, former Republican state Assemblywoman Sharon Runner, is seeking to replace him. She faces Democrat Darren Parker, a small-business owner who, like the Runners, lives in Lancaster. The district includes parts of Kern, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. If the 17th and 28th districts remain with their current party, the political dynamics of the Senate will be unchanged. Democrats hold a 24-14 advantage over Republicans in the Senate with the two seats unfilled, but need 27 votes for the two-thirds majority required to pass tax or fee increases. That’s likely the way it eventually will play out because the Legislature drew legislative and congressional districts a decade ago to protect the parties’ respective alignments, said Larry Gerston, a San Jose State University political science professor. Real change will not come until the independent citizens commission redraws legislative and congressional district boundaries in time for the 2012 elections. “This is just the first of two shoes to drop,” Gerston said of the open primary system. resonate with countless online commentators. Hale, of Bellevue, Wash., was sued for defamation by Freeholdbased Too Much Media over comments she posted on an online bulletin board three years ago that accused the company of engaging in fraudulent practices and threatening the life of someone who divulged details about it, according to a court filing. Too Much Media makes software used by many online porn sites to track traffic from other sites to determine how much those sites should be paid in commissions. Hale claimed she was gathering information for an investigaFall Festival: See Page 4

Your Weekly Horoscope 02/13 - 02/19 BY MINERVA (AP) ARIES: MARCH 21 - APRIL 20 Things would work better if you could lose the need to monitor people too closely. You can't control what they do. And if you care about them why would you even dream of placing restrictions on their spirit? TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20 You're as torn up about other people's problems as they are. You can help them but only up to a point. Their issues started cooking long before you came along. It'll take a lot more than you've got to save them. GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 20 When you decided to commit to this you had no idea it would require a degree in psychology. The weight of other people's complexities has you wishing you'd taken a closer look at the territory before you bought the farm. CANCER: JUNE 21 - JULY 20 You have so much going for you. To maximize what exists as potential you need to stabilize your personal life. Others are more than there for you. Be open to the ways in which their uniqueness keeps you on your toes. Black History
LEO: JULY 21 - AUGUST 20 You'll have to get some distance on this to be able to see it. Too much keeps you from knowing why it had to happen. Rearrange the scenery a little bit. Even if it's just for a day, it would be good to air out your head. VIRGO: AUGUST 21 - SEPTEMBER 20 Invitations to get rich quick will bring you to the realization that more money doesn't equal more of what you're really after. You could definitely use the cash, but how much will it cost you in the long run? LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 20 You're obsessed with getting to the bottom of whatever's driving this situation. The answer to the question will depend on how you respond to the ways in which circumstances conspire to wake you up.

Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee seeks representatives SUBMITTED BY NICOLE STEWARD, MSW The Fremont Unified School District Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) is seeking applications from community members interested in serving on the committee. The CBOC monitors the progress of the 2002 Health and Safety Bond that District voters approved in March 2002 and is responsible for verifying to the community that bond projects are being carried out in accordance with the original intent of the voters. Applicants for CBOC membership need not have extensive financial or construction expertise, but must be capable of and interested in studying those issues in sufficient detail to make informed decisions and to communicate with the public about bond issues. CBOC representatives have been appointed by the School Board to two-year terms and may serve two consecutive terms for a total of four years. However, the committee’s activities will probably only continue for one to two more years. The original projects listed in the 2002 Health and Safety Bond have been completed. However, because funds remain, the Fremont Unified Board of Trustees extended the charter of the CBOC. The committee is expected to be active for at least one more year. Once all tasks are complete, the committee is expected to be disbanded. To comply with state requirements, the makeup of the committee must include a business representative, a senior citizen, two parents or guardians and a member of a taxpayers’ organization. The committee may not include FUSD employees or vendors. Senior citizens and members of a taxpayer’s organization are particularly needed and urged to apply at this time. Interested applicants should fill out the application form on the FUSD website and/or contact the CBOC recording secretary, at (510) 659-2588, for more information. Fremont Unified School District is comprised of 42 schools including 28 elementary, 5 junior high, 6 high schools, a preschool, an adult school, and the Mission Valley ROP.

Photo Hiking Adventure SUBMITTED BY SACHIE JOHNS Join The Fremont Art Association’s Digital Photography Group on a scenic hiking photo adventure to Cataract Canyons, Marin County, on Saturday, February 19. Cataracts Canyon offers dramatic waterfalls and is covered
with a thick verdant green moss with the effect of lush greenness with a number of different cascades on the creek to photograph. The canyon is very deep and quite dark- a good place for high dynamic range (HDR) photography. There will be areas of short steep hiking and the trail can be slippery if wet – walking sticks (spare pairs are available for use) and shoes with good treads are recommended. This adventure will be led by award-winning photographer Cooksey Talbott. Meet at the FAA Gallery 10:30 a.m. This is a one hour, 60-mile drive and the trailhead has limited parking—volunteer drivers are needed who can help with a ride pool to reduce our parking needs. Cost of gas will be shared. Wear your walking (or hiking) shoes and bring a hat, water bottles, coat, gloves, bag lunch, snacks, camera, lens hood, polarizer, tripod (optional) and lens kit. Participants are required to sign a Release of Liability for our fieldtrips. The event will be canceled in case of rain. For questions, call Cooksey at (510) 742-0548.

SUBMITTED BY ALLIE CARROLL It’s that wonderful time of year to start planning the American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay For Life of Fremont, a 24-hour team walk-a-thon that raises funds and awareness in the battle against cancer. So if you decided that this is the year to go out and volunteer your time for others, WE NEED YOU! The ACS Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in the communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have dealt with cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. Relays are 24-hour overnight events to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Last year’s Relay For Life of Fremont was magnificent, with $100,833 net funds raised, 49 teams, and 82 registered survivors. We want to beat that record, but we can’t do it alone. We desperately need help from the public. We have already hosted three meetings to start planning and only a handful of people showed up. If you have a special gift, talent, or desire to help, we need volunteers to help with entertainment, survivorship, logistics, food and hospitality, and many more committee positions. We highly encourage our youth to come out and help. Many local high schools participated in last year’s Relay. Relay For Life is a team event, so we are also focusing on team recruitment. At Relay, teams of 8-15 people commit to raising $100 each and take turns walking or running relaystyle for 24 hours. So talk to your family, friends, co-workers, or neighbors about joining together in this fight and joining us on the track this summer. If we all work together, we can make this a successful 2011 Relay. Mark your calendar for June 25-26, 2011. Relay For Life of Fremont will once again be held at the California School for the Deaf, who we are so grateful to for hosting us. Come be a part of an awe-inspiring event! If you would like to get involved, please contact Michelle Regalo at (510) 460-8515 or michelle.regalo@cancer.org, or Allie Carroll at msmimicarroll@yahoo.com.

New Haven Board of Education briefs SUBMITTED BY RICK LA PLANTE The Board of Education, on February 1, approved a resolution calling for a May 3 special election asking New Haven voters to approve a parcel tax to offset some of the cuts that continue to be forced on the District because of the ongoing state budget crisis. The measure would raise approximately $3 million annually to preserve quality instructional time, maintain educational and after-school activities and minimize increases in class sizes and reductions to the school year. The proposed assessment, added to local property tax bills, would cost $180 per parcel per year, the equivalent of $15 per month — with exemptions for senior citizens and the disabled. A citizens’ oversight committee would review spending, and no money from the tax could be used to pay administrators’ continued on page 37

Donor finds way to boost student scholarships SUBMITTED BY DIANE DANIEL So many of us complain about the cuts to education. Instead, Beverly Tucker of Oakland has come up with a way to help. A lifelong advocate of public education, she has donated $11,000 for a 2011 scholarship at California State University, East Bay’s Human Development and Women’s Studies students. And she is determined to grow it further next year. Tucker already had an annual contribution of $1,000 in place when she got thinking about what more she could do. Last fall she told her 34-yearold son, Azizi, she didn’t need Christmas gifts, but instead preferred a contribution to educa-
tion. When he responded with a gift of $5,000, she was impressed, stunned, and knew she had to match it. Then, she received a total of $1,800 from her brother and sister-in-law, Christopher and Stephanie Scales of Concord, her brother Kenneth Scales in Detroit, MI, and friend, Deborah Churchill, bringing the total to $11,000. She’s set a goal of $20,000 for 2012, perhaps augmented with fundraising in addition to the personal gifts. Tucker, the first person in her family to attend and graduate from college, earned a bachelor’s degree from Wayne State University while working both full-time and part-time jobs and benefitting from scholarships. She then attended UC Berkeley, where,
Page 23
due to the relatively low tuition at that time, was able to earn her law degree. Her link to CSUEB occurred more than a decade ago when her brother Christopher earned his degree at the Hayward campus after futile attempts in Michigan, foiled by a combination of high fees and numerous jobs. “I believe that education is the solution to providing a better life,” said Tucker. “I was so impressed with what Cal State East Bay offers, how reasonable the cost was then, how it attracts older students and enables them to get their degrees, and how it trains teachers, that I always wanted to contribute to it [Cal State East Bay] in some way.” continued on page 27

BY SANJNA SHUKLA PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW James Logan High School in Union City held its 25th Annual Willie Davenport Olympian Clinic on Saturday, Feb. 12. The event, which was attended by over 1,500 athletes and coaches, is named after the late Olympian Willie Davenport. Davenport attended the popular clinic for years before his passing in 2002. Logan’s Track and Field head coach Lee Webb is the facilitator of the event and decided to name the clinic in memory and honor of the clinic’s avid supporter. Former Olympic athletes gather at this clinic and teach aspiring athletes of all ages various skills and techniques in different events. For example, Dick Fosbury, a Gold-medalist in the high jump, taught a group of high school students strategies that will help them gain more speed and vertical. The young athletes listened intently to Fosbury who is more than qualified, as he took the Gold medal and set an Olympic record at the 1986 Olympics in Mexico City. Fosbury has been credited with completely revolutionizing the high jump. While attending high school, Fosbury had difficulties clearing the bar, and decided to invent his own way to make the task easier on himself. And thus, the Fosbury Flop. All the high school high jumpers that were at the clinic used the Fosbury Flop method, as it has become the conventional method of clearing the bar. Fosbury worked with each athlete individually and en-
couraged them to find a routine that works the best for them. He is not only a distinguished athlete and coach, however. Fosbury is also the President of the World Olympians Association. Mike Powell, the current world record holder of the long jump, was also at hand to impart his extensive athletic knowledge onto the aspiring athletes. When asked about the event, Powell responded, “This event is a great way to honor the late Davenport, and I look forward to coming here year after year.” Powell had a great time coaching the kids, but this isn’t his only coaching experience. The Olympian stated that “I love to get to know the families of the athletes I’m working with. I try to get them into the best colleges possible, and sometimes all it takes is a phone call.” Powell has trained athletes who have gone on to MIT, Stanford and Harvard. About the clinic, Powell said, “If there is no conflict in my
schedule, 100 percent you can count on me being here.” Powell set the long jump world record at 29 feet 4.5 inches at the 1991 World Championships In Tokyo. That record still stands to this day. Other Athletes included, Stephanie Brown, Maurice Greene and Kevin Young. Overall, the event was a great collaboration of athletes and coaches. The massive effort of the James Logan track and field staff paid off well as the clinic was a great success. There was a schedule for the clinic that included a dedicated opening and closing ceremony. The number of participants has grown exponentially over the years, and is expected to continue to do so. The clinic has become recognized nationally, as there was a representative from the USA Track and Field Association. The event is projected to have even more participants next year, so don’t miss out next time!
Irvington JV soccer wins MVAL SUBMITTED BY PAUL DUNN Irvington High School JV girls soccer went into the final week of the season unbeaten and in first place in the Mission Valley Athletic League, claiming the school‘s first MVAL JV soccer crown in several years. Backup goalkeeper Allison Huff started her first game of the season for head coach Lynn Cooper’s squad against Mission San Jose High on a blustery Tuesday, Feb. 8, afternoon due to starting keeper Andrea Hanna being injured a week ago. Irvington (11-0-1) was feeling confident and immediately pushed forward, but the Warriors defended stoutly and the Warrior goalkeeper made several fine saves. Fifteen minutes into the game, Megan Dunn lofted a perfectly placed corner onto the head of Sarina Utamsing who precisely headed the ball out of the reach of the keeper into the corner of
the net. Erica Ohye then doubled the score as she made a run onto a clearance from Aileen Cheng and sped past the defense to place a perfect shot past the encroaching keeper. The Vikings came out strong in the second half and soon added to their lead as Molly Cory sent a pretty chip over the middle of the Warrior defense to Rachel Heng who one-timed the ball past the goalkeeper. Later, Heng latched onto a wayward Warrior clearance and quickly touched the ball forward to Ohye who slotted the ball past the keeper for her second of the afternoon. Summer Jones came on as left wing and was soon tormenting the Mission defense as Naomi Figueroa did the same on the right side. The Vikings added a fifth goal when Rhian Dunn streaked down the right wing before crossing to Amie Fang. Fang quickly turned and tapped the
ball to Dimple Patel whose shot made the final score 5-0. On Thursday, Feb. 10, the Vikings had their final game of the season against Washington High School. Not only was it the final game, but it was the Vikings’ Senior Night, recognizing seniors Fang, Heng, Ohye and Marissa Lee. But it was a freshman who saved the day, as early in the game, goalkeeper Allison Huff saved a blistering shot from a narrow angle as the Huskies went on attack. The Viking defense of Megan Dunn, Emily Holmes, Mehartaj Gill and Aileen Cheng eventually settled down, limiting further attempts on their goal. Upon Huff’s next touch of the ball, she cleared it to midfield, where Ohye quickly controlled it and launched a long ball through the Husky defense to fellow sencontinued on page 25

Prep soccer recap BY SIDA LU AND GIOVANNI ALBANESE JR. PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Regular season play has come to a halt for both the Mission Valley and Hayward Area athletic leagues. Here’s how the final week of action played out, and
which teams will be representing their respective league in the North Coast Section tournament beginning Wednesday, Feb. 16. MVAL Boys All the focus of MVAL boys action through the end of the regular season is on Newark Memorial High School. In their regular season finale, the Cougars (20-3, 10-0 MVAL) blasted John F. Kennedy High School, 6-0. Joel Sandoval and Edward Ramirez both scored twice; Noe Ruiz and Jorge Alcaraz put in the others; and Logan Lombana saved three while recording the clean sheet. James Logan High (12-7-2, 73 MVAL) gave Newark the toughest time in league. The Colts finished its regular season on Feb. 9 with a 3-1 win over Washington High School, notching all three goals in the first half: Juan Carlos Romero-Pacheco in the ninth; Juan Alvarado in the 29th; and Christian Alvarado in the 38th. Brenden Tostado and Alex Valdovinos combined for four saves and the shutout. Girls Mission San Jose continued its slide with a 2-1 loss to Irvington, their third loss in a row. Newark Memorial ran into the Logan buzzsaw and were destroyed 4-1 as Logan continued its undefeated league season. Kennedy and American rounded things off as American completed a shutout. American goalkeeper Melissa Grey had four saves while Kelsi Calhoun, Urena Melissa, and Elizabeth Mooney had a goal apiece to lead the Lady Eagles to victory and keep the Titans winless in league. Thursday featured the end of
the last streak of futility in the TriCities as Kennedy notched their first league win in a 1-0 victory over Newark Memorial. Logan completed its first ever league undefeated season and first ever league title with an 8-0 romp over Mission San Jose. Six different players scored, highlighted by Chris Garingan and Paloma Zermeno’s two goals apiece. Colts goalkeeper
Sarena Sanchez had three saves while the Colts offense took 20 shots on a beleaguered Warriors defense. The Irvington Vikings kept their momentum going and utilized their defense to keep the Huskies scoreless in a 4-0 victory. Irvington goalkeeper Haley Widger had 10 saves to anchor the defense, while Heidi Moreno, Melissa Heaton,
and Shayla Funk kept the offense rolling. American made use of its by week by scheduling about against HAAL team Moreau Catholic. American won, 3-0. Logan took the MVAL crown with a 12-0-0 league season; American came in second at 6-3-3. HAAL Boys Local teams struggled for success in Hayward Area action; the final week of the regular season was no different. Mt. Eden High School did muster a tie in its game on Feb. 8 at Arroyo High School with a 1-1 draw. Mean-
while, also on Feb. 8, Tennyson High School (at San Leandro) and Hayward High (vs. Castro Valley) played to 1-1 and 0-0 draws respectively. Also on Feb. 8, Moreau Catholic was crushed by Bishop O’Dowd High School, 3-0 to continue its losing ways. Moreau Catholic is now 2-12-2 on the campaign. A day later on Feb. 9, Hayward went on the road and was handed a 4-0 loss by San Lorenzo. Hayward (11-5-3, 10-5 HAAL) still, after the loss, had hopes of making the cut for an NCS bid. Wrapping up the action for the final week of the regular season, Moreau dropped its second of the week — this a 2-0 defeat to Arroyo at home on Feb. 10. Tennyson fell 3-1 to Bishop O’Dowd on Thursday, as well. And Mt. Eden ended its regular campaign on a high note, winning 21 at home over San Lorenzo. Girls Arroyo played its last league game of the season against Mt. Eden, prevailing over the Monarchs 4-0. Bianca Munoz had two goals and Karla Uribe and Berenica Pena had a goal apiece to pace the Dons to victory. Tennyson had ended its futility streak a week prior but was unable to keep the momentum rolling as the Lancers fell to Redwood Christian 2-1. Castro Valley showed off just how dominant they can be with an 8-0 thumping of a pretty good Hayward team. Castro Valley continued its winstreak with an 2-0 victory over San Leandro. Tennyson rounded things off with a 1-1 tie with non-league Pittsburgh. On the season, Castro Valley edged Bishop O’Dowd by a mere .06 percentage points to take first in the HAAL at 12-1-0 and a win
percentage of 0.923. Bishop O’Dowd came in second at 11-1-0 and 0.917. Arroyo rounded things off in third place. NCS Mt. Eden, James Logan and Newark Memorial all advanced to the North Coast Section Championships in Division I for the boys, John F. Kennedy and Hayward will enter the tourney in Division II for boys.

Report of Independent Auditors
Capital Assets, Net
The Board of Directors Washington Township Health Care District
In our opinion, the financial statements of the business-type activities and discretely presented component unit of the Washington Township Health Care District (the District) which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents, present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business-type activities and the discretely presented component unit of the District at June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof, where applicable, for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Net capital assets increased $54.5 million from $206.0 million at June 30, 2009 to $260.5 million at June 30, 2010. This increase resulted from $65.9 million in capital additions and $7.6 million in net capitalized interest expense and investment income offset by $19.0 million in operating and non-operating depreciation of the District’s assets. The capital additions include $11.5 million in equipment, building, and land improvements combined with an increase of $62.0 million in construction in progress. A majority of the capital expenditures in the current year were related to construction work on the Central Utility Plant and the new Center for Joint Replacement. The District continued its upgrade of information technology with investments in the replacement and expansion of critical infrastructure technology including: wireless network infrastructure, electronic security and auditing for protected health information, ambulatory Electronic Medical Record (EMR) expansion, cardiac PACS and ECG, a mobile care phlebotomy system and McKesson multi-system unified upgrades. At June 30, 2010, outstanding commitments related to capital projects totaled $48.2 million. Net capital assets increased $16.0 million from $190.0 million at June 30, 2008 to $206.0 million at June 30, 2009. This increase resulted from $32.1 million in capital additions and $2.8 million in net capitalized interest expense and investment income, offset by $18.9 million in operating and non-operating depreciation of the District’s assets. The capital additions include $26.2 million in construction in progress combined with an increase of $8.7 million in equipment, building, and land improvements. A significant portion of the capital expenditures in the current year were related to construction of the new Central Utility Plant, underground utility tunnels, the new Center for Joint Replacement and various enabling projects. The District continued its upgrade of information technology systems by completing several major projects, including a post-discharge electronic medical record, a new Emergency Department information system,
The Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 2 through 13 and the supplemental pension and post-employment benefit information on pages 44 through 47 are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Triage ent models. However, the goal is basically the same: save as many as possible.
WILLIAM MARSHAK In life, we are often forced to choose whatever is most important and act in its favor, sometimes excluding other desires and interests. From a rather mild situation of deciding what to buy when resources are somewhat limited to acute life and death situations, the same basic pattern emerges… prioritization of need matched with desired outcomes. It is not unusual to confront a dilemma with inadequate resources. The logical approach is to practice a form of personal “triage.”
In the present economic climate, government agencies have finally come to the realization that the time for procrastination is over. No longer can politicians and theoreticians rely on future generations to solve flagrant denial of basic needs. For years, all levels of government created budgets under the assumption that good times would always reign; warnings of overspending, pension spiking, inflated salaries and spiraling deficits were reserved for another generation. Some reaped outstanding rewards but just like a funky Ponzi pyramid scheme, those who bailed early were winners while the majority, trapped by the big lie, is left to pay the price.
The concept of triage emerged in World War I as medical conditions from warfare necessitated difficult, life and death decisions. During military combat, such decisions are often triggered by a rapid and acute chain of events that cannot wait for lengthy and complex deliberation. Battlefield tactics and their results are immediate and potentially lethal. Injured soldiers are subject to triage, separated into three primary categories: those who are either deceased or will be even with medical attention; those who require immediate medical treatment to survive; and those who will survive even if treatment is delayed.
Fallout from an economic collapse rolls downhill so usually those most responsible are least likely to suffer directly. In this case, while cities bluster and protest, they find themselves at the bottom of a slimy mountain coated with sludge that descends upon them and keeps moving their way. While playing the blameless game, cities are due for introspection as well. Salaries, pensions, spiking and all the high profile faults at regional and national levels are subject to debate at the local level too. Surveys of pensions and salaries are a sham if those surveyed are unable to afford such payments. Pointing to like institutions about to fail due to unsustainable expenses is unacceptable.
This same differentiation with varying degrees of modification has since expanded to all forms of emergency medical treatment including civilian situations. Initially, the level of triage is dictated by available resources and the extent of the incident. With the introduction of sophisticated equipment and advanced techniques, triage has become more complex and often involves differ-
Prior to public awareness of the City of Bell, California salaries and benefits, those figures were a statistical component of comparison for other cities and public entities. In response to the revelation of this absurdity, the League of California Cities and International City/County Management Association developed “compensation guidelines” for City Managers. It is noted that compensation
should be addressed in comparative terms “…reasonably based upon market conditions, transparent, and tied to experience and salaries at comparable agencies.” Also a realization that, “The salaries public employees receive impact public perception and trust.” Fremont’s prior City Manager was able to spike her benefits just prior to departure using several retroactive raises. The rationale for such behavior was that as CEO of the City, her salary should float above all others and it wasn’t floating high enough. Ms. Perkins wasn’t alone in this practice. The present city manager reaped the rewards of such behavior and was hired at a comparable rate. Many cities used for comparison now face a similar dilemma of unsustainable benefits. Guess who pays? Recently the City reorganized, hopefully to perform basic triage of a sick and unsustainable model. There is much more to do and if our cities are to survive, painful choices will be necessary. Unfortunately, many worthy but unsustainable programs and services will be victims of these measures but for too long, we have stacked up the wounded, pretending they do not exist. As a consequence, hard decisions await and, in some cases, the prognosis is terminal. Triage is never pleasant, but performs a vital service in critical situations. Federal, State and County government priorities are forcing long overdue triage on our cities. Hopefully, our cities are up to the task.

Donor finds way to boost student scholarships Retired after 19 years as chief counsel for the California Teachers Association and a member of the Northern California American Civil Liberties Union Board of Directors, she knows well that, “People will give if you ask them, but usually, we don’t ask.”
She intends to turn that around. Patricia Guthrie, professor and chair of Human Development and Women’s Studies, established the initial scholarship in Tucker’s name in mid-2000. The money is typically divided between two human
development and women’s studies students. One idea is to eventually increase some of the grants to the equivalent of one quarter’s tuition. “In today’s world of increasing costs of higher education, coupled with the slump in the job market, scholarships really
make the difference for many CSUEB students,” said Guthrie. “Without this assistance, some of our students would not be able to attend college.” For information about CSUEB visit http://www20.csueastbay.edu/

Inpatient Business Activity The District’s gross inpatient revenue increased 11.6% from $1.24 billion in fiscal year 2009 to $1.38 billion in fiscal year 2010. Total acute patient days increased by 632 from 62,947 to 63,579. The overall increase in inpatient revenue can be attributed to a higher level of patient days, market-based price adjustment, and higher surgical and cardiac procedures.

Total FTEs increased by 62 to 1,464 at June 30, 2009 from 1,402 at June 30, 2008, an increase of 4%. Approximately 80% of the employees of the District are members of collective bargaining groups. These employees receive periodic pay increases through the various memoranda of understanding that have been approved by the District’s Board of Directors. To remain competitive in its market, the Board grants similar market-based pay increases to non-union employees.

Overall, the District’s benefits cost rose by 9%, from $49.7 million at June 30, 2008 to $54.2 million at June 30, 2009. Net self-insured health costs increased due to increased claim payments in the current year, combined with a lower level of reinsurance reimbursements related to large claims. Pension costs increased as a result of lower than anticipated returns on the assets held in the District’s pension portfolio. Workers compensation expense increased due to a higher level of claims experience in 2009 than that experienced in 2008. 11
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP HEALTH CARE DISTRICT Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The overall case mix index for the District, which is a measure of patient acuity, increased from 1.3716 in 2009 to 1.3751 in 2010.

Outpatient Business Activity
Fiscal Year 2010 Revenue and Expense Analysis for the Foundation
The District’s gross outpatient revenue increased 14% in the current year, from $365.5 million in fiscal year 2009 to $416.7 million in fiscal year 2010. The increase was due primarily to increases in outpatient surgical volumes and outpatient cardiac procedures, combined with market-based price adjustments.
Contributions and Contributed Services
Deductions from Revenue Contractual allowance adjustments (expressed as a percentage of gross revenues) were 73.5% and 73.3% for fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Total contributions and pledges decreased 46.2%, from $2.6 million in 2009 to $1.4 million in 2010. The decrease in the current year can be primarily attributed to several very large gifts received in 2009 that were not repeated in the current year. The capital campaign to raise funds for construction of the new Critical Care Pavilion and Center for Joint Replacement generated a significant portion of the contributions in 2010. Fund Raising Events
8
Total fund raising revenue increased by 4.4%, from $227 thousand in 2009 to $237 thousand in 2010. The major fund raising activities for 2010 were the annual golf tournament, the Tree of Angels and the annual Top Hat dinner and dance.

Inpatient Business Activity The District’s gross inpatient revenue increased 18% in the current year, from $1,047.1 million in fiscal year 2008 to $1,235.2 million in fiscal year 2009. Total admissions decreased by 224 from 13,525 for the year ended June 30, 2008 to 13,301 for the year ended June 30, 2009. A 2.8% increase in patient acuity based on case mix index for 2009 drove an increase in patient days of 877 from 62,070 to 62,947. The increase in acuity is attributable substantially to a 5% increase in the Cardiac Cath product line volume. The increase in acuity and patient days also drove an increase in ancillary services provided, such as lab and X-ray. These factors, combined with market-based price adjustments that took effect during the year, are responsible for the overall increase of inpatient revenue. Table 8 presents the patient days for each year and the percentage change: Table 8 Inpatient Business Activity Specialty Medical/Surgical Critical Care Pediatrics Obstetrics Subtotal Newborn Total

% Change 2.8% 3.0% 13.4% -10.2% 1.4% -11.5% 0.3%
The overall case mix index for the District, which is a measure of patient acuity, was 1.3716 and 1.3345 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Outpatient Business Activity The District’s gross outpatient revenue increased 23% in the current year, from $297.5 million in fiscal year 2008 to $365.5 million in fiscal year 2009. The increase was due primarily to increased outpatient surgical cases combined with increased volumes in the Cath Lab, Clinical Lab and Emergency Department and a market-based price adjustment.
Economic Factors Affecting Next Year The District's Board of Directors approved the fiscal year 2010-2011 operating budget at their June 2010 meeting. The operating budget was developed after a review of key volume indicators and trends. The budget incorporates the District’s current Institutional Agenda as well as economic factors, such as estimated population growth and unemployment rates. The District has begun preliminary activities related to the issuance of new debt instruments in the form of revenue bonds. The proceeds from these bonds will be used for construction of the building that will house the Center for Joint Replacement and other major capital projects. The total bond issuance is expected to be $60 million. As of the publication date for these statements, the effective interest rate and other issuance costs for these debt instruments has not been determined. This debt issuance is expected to be completed during the 2010-2011 fiscal year. 13

Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. All assets with an original cost of $500 or more are considered capital assets. Depreciation is provided over the useful life of each class of depreciable assets and is computed using the straight-line method. Expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Long-Term Investment and Restricted Funds Long-term investment and restricted funds are invested in corporate debt securities, United States Treasury bonds and government agency debt issues. These investments are measured at fair value, which is determined based upon quoted market prices. These investments are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Investments set aside for future capital improvements, pension costs or for funding insurance are considered to be Board designated funds. These and other investments, whose use has been limited by financial arrangements, are classified as long- or short-term investment funds. Investments whose use by the District has been limited by donors to a specific time period or purpose are classified as restricted funds.

Promises to Give Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded at net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected in future years are recorded at the present value of their future cash flows. The discounts on those amounts are computed using rates representative of market participants' perspectives. Among other things, this takes into consideration when the promise to give is expected to be collected, past collection experience, the Foundation's policy on enforcing promises to give, and creditworthiness of the donor. Amortization of the discounts is included in contribution revenue. Conditional promises to give are not included as support until the conditions are substantially met.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to patient accounts receivable allowances, amounts due to third-party payors, self-insurance liabilities and employee benefit costs. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Expendable – Net assets whose use by the District is subject to externally imposed restrictions that can be fulfilled by actions of the District pursuant to those restrictions or that expire by the passage of time.
Washington Township Health Care District (the District) is a political subdivision of the State of California organized under the Local Health Care District Law, as set forth in the Health and Safety Code of the State of California. It is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The District's mission is to provide broad healthcare services to their residents. The District’s boundaries encompass an area of approximately 124 square miles in southern Alameda County. The District operates the Washington Hospital Healthcare System, which consists of Washington Hospital (the Hospital), a 359-bed licensed acute care hospital located in Fremont, California. Included within the District boundaries are the cities of Fremont, Newark and Union City, the southern portions of the City of Hayward and the unincorporated area known as Sunol.
Nonexpendable – Net assets subject to externally imposed restrictions that they be retained in perpetuity by the District. There were no such assets as of June 30, 2010 and 2009. Foundation The net assets of the Foundation and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Unrestricted – Unrestricted net assets represent those resources of the Foundation that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. The only limits on unrestricted net assets are broad limits resulting from the nature of the Foundation and the purposes specified in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, and limits resulting from contractual agreements, if any.
The District is the sole corporate member of Washington Township Hospital Development Corporation (DEVCO). DEVCO was formed in 1984 to train medical personnel, develop medical treatment programs, perform medical research and development, and render medical services to the general public. The DEVCO Board is appointed by the District’s Board. DEVCO contractually operates a radiation oncology center and a surgery center. DEVCO also operates an outpatient rehabilitation center and a primary care clinic. DEVCO is considered a component unit of the District, and is blended in the District’s financial statements because its services exclusively benefit the District.
Temporarily restricted – Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions, which are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that can be fulfilled by actions of the Foundation pursuant to those stipulations or by the passage of time. For financial statement presentation, these are labeled as “Restricted – expendable” in the accompanying financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Hospital and DEVCO. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the financial statements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk District Financial instruments that potentially subject the District to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and patient accounts receivable.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
February 15, 2011
PUBLIC NOTICES The District invests its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial instruments including insured deposits and the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). Other than LAIF funds, there is no significant concentration in one investment or group of similar investments.
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP HEALTH CARE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2010 and 2009
The District’s concentration of credit risk relating to patient accounts receivable is limited by the diversity and number of the District’s patients and payors. Patient accounts receivable consists of amounts due from governmental programs, commercial insurance companies, private pay patients and other group insurance programs. Reimbursements from the Medicare program accounted for approximately 20% and 23% of the District’s net patient service revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Medicare, Medi-Cal, Blue Cross and Blue Shield are the only payors that represent more than 10% of the District’s net patient accounts receivable as of June 30, 2010. The District maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the expected collectibility of patient accounts receivable.
The process for estimating the ultimate collection of receivables involves significant assumptions and judgments. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The use of historical collection and payor reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation of reserves for uncollectible accounts. Revisions in reserve for uncollectible accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to the provision for bad debts, which includes charity care. At the current time there is uncertainty about reimbursements from government programs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has proposed reductions in rates, which would result in a decrease in Medicare reimbursements. The state budget, which is not finalized, contains proposed health care budget cuts which may affect reimbursements for non-contracted Medi-Cal services. The ultimate outcome of these proposals and other market changes cannot presently be determined.
Foundation Financial instruments that potentially subject the Foundation to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and pledged contributions receivable.
Under Assembly Bill 1383 of 2009, as amended by Assembly Bill 1653 on September 8, 2010 (collectively, the Bill), which establishes a hospital fee program, the District is exempt from the quality assurance fee, but is eligible for supplemental payments under the second part of the Bill. This Bill is currently pending CMS approval, the outcome of which cannot be determined.
The Foundation invests its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial instruments including insured deposits. The District holds a portion of the Foundation assets in the District’s LAIF account. The Foundation maintains an allowance for uncollectible pledges based on the expected collectibility of pledges. The Foundation had 360 donor pledges, with the largest individual pledge representing approximately 20% of the total, as of June 30, 2010. The Foundation had 445 donor pledges, with the largest individual pledge representing approximately 12% of the total, as of June 30, 2009. (q)

Charity Care The District maintains records to identify and monitor the level of direct charity care it provides. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, net patient service revenues exclude charges forgone for charity care services and supplies of approximately $19,226,000 and $20,295,000, respectively.
Net patient service revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Reimbursement from third-party payors under various methodologies is based on the level of care provided. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Amounts received in 2010 and 2009 related to prior years, including adjustments to prior year estimates, increased net patient service revenues approximately $2,183,000 and $405,000, respectively.

The District provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Because the Hospital does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not included in net patient service revenues.

June 30, 2010 and 2009 New Accounting Pronouncements District
27
As of June 30, 2010, the District has adopted GASB Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets. This Statement requires that all intangible assets not specifically excluded by its scope provisions be classified as capital assets. This Statement also establishes guidance specific to intangible assets related to amortization and on determining the useful life of intangible assets when the length of their life is limited by contractual or legal provisions. The adoption of Statement No. 51 did not have a significant impact on the District’s financial statements. The requirements for GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, became effective in the current year. This statement addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of information regarding derivative instruments entered into by state and local governments. A key provision in this Statement is that derivative instruments covered in its scope are reported at fair value. The District’s investment policies are governed by State statutes that require the District to invest in highly rated and secure cash equivalents and government and corporate debt securities. The District does not purchase derivative instruments. Foundation In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-08, Technical Corrections to Various Topics. This ASU, which was effective for reporting periods beginning after the date of issuance, corrected or clarified language contained in several reporting topics. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Foundation's financial statements. Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855), was issued in February 2010 and was immediately effective. This update clarifies the cut-off dates for which subsequent events need to be disclosed for different types of entities. Adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Foundation's financial statements. 23

Inpatient acute care services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates-per-discharge. These rates vary according to a patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic, and other factors. The District also receives Medicare Disproportionate Share (DSH) reimbursements for services provided to a disproportionate percentage of low-income patients. The Medicare program pays hospitals for outpatient services under the prospective payment system known as Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs). Under APCs, the District is paid a prospectively determined rate based on the diagnosis and procedures provided to patients. Outpatient physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and laboratory, are paid based upon prospectively determined fee schedules. The Hospital is reimbursed for cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate, with final settlements determined after submission of annual cost reports by the Hospital and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. The Hospital’s cost reports have been audited for all fiscal years through June 30, 2006 and finalized by the Medicare fiscal intermediary for all fiscal years through June 30, 2005. Services provided to Medi-Cal program beneficiaries are reimbursed at negotiated per-diem rates. The District has also entered into payment agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers and preferred provider organizations. The methods for payment under these agreements include prospectively determined rates-per-discharge, discounts from established charges, and prospectively determined per diem rates. The District receives reimbursement from various payors under the State of California Division of Workers’ Compensation program, based upon a pre-determined fee schedule. Billings relating to services rendered are recorded as net patient service revenue in the period in which the service is performed, net of contractual and other allowances, which represent differences between gross charges and the estimated receipts under such programs. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Receivables for patient care are also reduced for allowances for uncollectible accounts. 24

Interest Rate Risk
June 30, 2010 and 2009
As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the District’s investment policy limits investments made by each investment manager to have an average maturity of not more than seven years.
(9)
Long-Term Debt The District issued revenue bonds in 1999 for the purpose of providing funds to pay costs associated with the acquisition, construction and renovation of Hospital facilities. To secure the payment of bond service charges and the performance of its other obligations under the indentures, the District has pledged, assigned, and granted the Hospital’s revenues, as a security interest in favor of Union Bank of California (Trustee), as defined in the Series indentures.
Credit Risk The District’s investment policies are governed by State statutes that require the District to invest in highly rated and secure cash equivalents, and government and corporate debt securities. The District's policy requires that investments in corporate notes be rated "A" or its equivalent or better by a nationally recognized rating service under the "prudent man rule" (Civil Code Sect. 2261 et seq.) as long as the investment is deemed prudent and the type of investment is allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600 et seq.). Should the rating fall below the required rating, the District's policies provide for a period under which corrective action is to be taken.
The District issued general obligation bonds in December 2006 for the purpose of providing funds to pay costs related to the construction of a new Central Utility Plant and other major construction projects. The repayment of the general obligation bonds will be funded through property tax assessments to residents of the District. The District issued revenue bonds in 2007 to provide funds for the construction of a new building that will house the Center for Joint Replacement and several smaller capital projects. To secure the payment of bond service charges and the performance of its other obligations under the indentures, the District has pledged, assigned, and granted the Hospital’s revenues, as a security interest in favor of Union Bank of California (Trustee), as defined in the Series indentures.

The Foundation measures and records its investments at fair value in accordance with accounting standards which establish a hierarchy of valuation inputs based on the extent to which inputs are observable in the marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity's own assumptions about how market participants would value an asset or liability based on the best information available. The Foundation's investments were considered Level 1, and as such, fair value was based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Foundation did not adjust the quoted price for such assets. (8)

(10) Employee Benefit Plans (a)
Defined Benefit Retirement Plan The District maintains a defined benefit retirement plan that covers all employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The plan, as approved by the Board of Directors of the District, is a single employer plan solely funded by the District. Benefits under the plan are calculated based on the participant’s length of service, age at retirement, and average compensation as defined by the plan. Employees are fully vested in the plan after 5 years of service and are eligible to receive an unreduced benefit once they reach age 65. An employee who attains age 62 and has completed 20 years of service, or an employee who attains age 60 with 30 years of service is also eligible for an unreduced benefit.

The District recognizes pension expense based upon GASB Statement No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employers. The District’s funding policy is to contribute based on actuarial estimates, subject to statutory limitations. The District’s Board is the plan sponsor and has the sole authority to amend the plan. The Board expects to continue contributions to the plan, but it can suspend or reduce contributions at any time upon appropriate action by amendment to the plan. The pension plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report.
The District’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan and the net OPEB obligation for 2010 and the two preceding years were as follows:
Fiscal Year Ended
The District’s annual pension cost, which is a measure of the periodic cost of the District's participation in the defined benefit retirement plan, and net pension asset, which is the amount recognized by the District for contributions greater than pension expense, to the defined benefit retirement plan were as follows:

As of June 30, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was not funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $27.7 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $27.7 million. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $121.1 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 22.9%.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP HEALTH CARE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2010 and 2009 In the June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 actuarial valuations, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions include an initial annual healthcare cost trend rate of 8% and 9%, respectively, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5% by the year 2013. For each of the years, a discount rate of 4.75% was assumed in the calculation and the UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage over 15 years on an open basis.
The District’s annual pension cost, the percentage of annual pension cost contributed to the plan, and the net pension obligation for 2010 and the two preceding years were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended 2008 2009 2010

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
(15,739,000) (14,144,000) (1,468,000)
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 the District Board has designated $22,000,000 for contribution to the plan. Had the District made this contribution, 173.6% of the annual pension cost would have been funded.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP HEALTH CARE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements
(11) Insurance Plans The District is self-insured for its hospital professional, general and directors and officers liability insurance up to certain retention levels. The District’s hospital professional, general, and directors and officers excess liability insurance is purchased from BETA Health Care Group (BETA). BETA was formed in 1979 for the purpose of operating a self-insurance program for the excess insurance coverage for certain hospital districts of the Association of California Hospital Districts (ACHD). Effective October 1, 1989, BETA became a separate joint powers authority, establishing itself as a public agency and distinct from ACHD. BETA is managed by a board of 15 elected representatives (the BETA council). The BETA council and its six committees meet quarterly to vote on all matters affecting the program. A representative from the District occupies one seat on the BETA Council.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 the District Board has set aside $22,000,000 for the plan but has not made the contribution pending a review of the plan’s asset allocation. This amount is in addition to the $22,129,000 set aside for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This additional funding has not been reflected in the actuarial estimates of the pension plan’s funding, liabilities or costs. If these amounts were funded to the plan at June 30, 2010, the market value and actuarial value of plan assets would be increased by $44,500,000 and $45,359,000, respectively. The funded ratio for the plan would be 85% at June 30, 2010.
The District has an actuarial estimate performed annually on its self-insured workers’ compensation plans. Estimated liabilities have been actuarially determined and include an estimate of incurred, but not reported, (IBNR) claims. The District estimates professional and general liabilities and health, vision and dental benefit liabilities based upon historical experience and trending information.

Generally, any employee is eligible and voluntarily enters into an agreement with the District to defer current wages at amounts limited by federal law. Effective July 1, 2005 the District matched participant contributions to a maximum of 1.25% of gross earnings. Under these agreements, the District purchases annuity contracts for various investments. All investment earnings, including market value appreciation and depreciation, are set aside in trusts for the benefit of the participants. For the 2009 and 2008 calendar years, for which the contributions were made during the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years, the District’s matching contribution totaled $1,368,000 and $1,302,000, respectively.

(b)
Defined Benefit Post-Retirement Medical Plan (OPEB) The District provides a defined benefit post-retirement medical plan that covers both salaried and non-salaried employees, as approved by the Board of Directors of the District. Eligible individuals are those employees who have benefited status and concurrently elect retirement and the receipt of pension plan benefits after they reach age 55 and five years of service. The benefit allows for the payment to the retiree of the cost of Medicare Part B insurance premiums. In addition, employees retiring on or after age 55 with 20 years of service are eligible for a stipulated amount per month in reimbursements for medical expenses to age 65. A prescription drug benefit provides $450 per year for 10 years beginning at the later of age 65 or retirement. Eligibility for this benefit is retirement at age 55 with 25 years of benefited service.

Litigation The District is involved in various claims and litigation, as both plaintiff and defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the District’s financial position.

Regulatory Environment
39
The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and government health care program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medi-Cal fraud and abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by health care providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government health care programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. While no regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

OPEB benefits are funded entirely by the District on a pay-as-you-go basis. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the District contributed $686,000 and $598,000, respectively, to fund benefits paid in those years.
Notes to Financial Statements
Supplemental Pension and Post-Employment
June 30, 2010 and 2009 The District’s annual other post-employment benefit cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with parameters of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

Blogger Protections - NJ court weighing limits of journalist shield law tion of organized crime infiltration of the online porn industry and planned to publish her findings on a Web site and possibly in a book. She invoked the shield law to avoid identifying the person who was threatened and another source who first told her of the threats. A judge rejected the argument in 2009 and characterized her comments as the rants of “a private person with unexplained motives for her postings.” A state appeals court concurred, writing that her postings on the website Oprano.com, which bills itself as “The Wall Street Jour-
nal of the Porn Industry,” “were not made in the context of any recognized aspect of the news process nor, we conclude, by a ‘newsperson’ in the course of her professional activities.” “I’m not traditional. I’m a citizen journalist,” Hale said Tuesday. “As citizens we are told, `If you see something, say something,’ and I have a duty to report. I think what I do is really important.” Much of Tuesday’s session was spent parsing the language contained in the New Jersey statute, which dates back to 1977, long before the Internet brought a sea
change to news distribution. Justices and attorneys agreed that New Jersey’s law is one of the broadest in the country in its protection of journalists’ sources. The law protects anyone “engaged on, engaged in, connected with, or employed by news media for the purpose of gathering, procuring, transmitting, compiling, editing or disseminating news for the general public. newspapers, magazines, press associations, news agencies, wire services, radio, television or other similar printed, photographic, mechanical or electronic means of disseminating news to the
general public.” That definition is broad enough to cover many forms of reporting, Hale’s attorney, Jeffrey Pollock, argued, “A fifth-grade girl who investigates why there are cockroaches in the chocolate chip cookies and publishes it in the school paper” would be covered, he said. So would someone not employed by a media outlet, such as a book author. Justice Helen E. Hoens questioned whether such a wide definition would lead to chaos. “You would pull in anybody and everybody who opens a website and
says ‘Here I am, I’m a journalist,’” Hoens said. “There are controls for lying, cheating reporters; they are called editors and publishers. This is not that. It is 100 percent unregulated territory where folks can go out and proclaim, ‘I’m in the news business now and I don’t have to tell you where I got the inside scoop.’’’ Attorney Joel Kreizman, representing Too Much Media, argued that Hale’s planned Web site, www.pornafia.com, was “to be an information exchange, not the ‘60 Minutes’ review of the adult industry.”
on May 3. A parcel tax requires a twothirds majority vote for passage. Later in the evening, the Board received an update on the state budget. Unless voters approve the tax extensions that Gov. Brown has asked the Legislature to call for in a June special election, the District will be forced to make an additional $4.1 million in reductions - on top of the $5 million in reductions included in multi-year projections approved by the Board in December. That makes passing a local parcel tax even more criti-
cal, Chief Business Officer Akur Varadarajan told the Board, if the District is to minimize increases in class sizes and reductions to the school year and maintain after-school activities. Also, the Board: Received an update on the planning for the Institute for Community Leaders, a “school within a school” at James Logan High. The pilot program, to be created and managed almost entirely by teachers, would open in the fall with 180 ninth-grade students. Focus would be on academic rigor, with an emphasis on
social and ethnic justice, and a new grade would be added each year until the ICL serves grades 9 - 12 in 2014 - 2015. Received a presentation from Searles Elementary School fifthgraders who — using an $8,000 StopWaste.org grant secured by teacher Vince Rosato — participated in the YMCA East Bay Outdoor School at Camp Arroyo in Livermore. The camp is a premier Bay Area environmental center.

Dog and cat fees include sterilization, shots (not rabies), a microchip, a cardboard carrier for cats, and a license for dogs if the adopters are Hayward residents. If the adopter lives outside the City of Hayward, the license fee is de-
ducted. If a pet enters the shelter already spayed or neutered, the fee is reduced because the shelter does not have to subsidize the procedure. In addition to choosing a pet, there will be fun for the entire family with games for children and a raffle. In recognition of Spay Day USA (February 22), the spay/neuter fee will be waived for all pets adopted at this event. Free spay/neuter vouchers, generously subsidized by the Hayward Animal Shelter Volunteers, will be available for owned dogs and cats in the City of Hayward (limit two per household).

Fremont Chinese School receives generous donation BY MIRIAM G. MAZLIACH PHOTO BY ALBERT LYNN In celebration of Chinese New Year, Mayling Way, on behalf of Mass Mutual Financial Group in Fremont, recently presented a check for $5,000 to the Fremont Chinese School. For the past 16 years, Way has been volunteering as a Chinese culture and language teacher with the school.
Since 1972, Fremont Chinese School, a non-profit Chinese language and culture school, has served the community, offering weekend educational and language classes to youths as well as extracurricular activities such as Chinese calligraphy, abacus, and music. Classes are held on Saturdays at Irvington High School. Mass Mutual has donated over $825,000 in similar Community Service Award Grants, since its involvement began in 1998. “Fremont Chinese
School is a nonprofit organization and needs money to help run it. I like it that my company helps this school,” says Way. The current donation will be used for scholarships and students from lowincome families need assistance to attend Fremont Chinese School. “Mass Mutual wants to give something back to society,” adds Way. For information about Fremont Chinese School, call (510) 468-9905.
