rom spreading oak trees to blooming azaleas, California is home to a vast array of beautiful native plants. Landscape designer Radhika Thekkath will visit Fremont next week to share her love of these living decorations and discuss how you can use California native plants with color, texture and curb appeal to attract birds, butterflies and beneficial insects. Spring is here and your garden, large or small, is calling, Radhika Thekkath is currently on the Executive Board of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and a Steering Committee member of the Gardening with Natives (GWN) group that sponsors talks at regional libraries. She is eager to help others create ecologically friendly urban and suburban gardens with native plants. “I am especially interested in providing help to replace water-thirsty and chemical-laden lawns with gardens that provide habitat for local fauna such as birds, insects, and butterflies,” said Thekkath. An avid gardener, Thekkath says, “I have always been very interested in gardening, even as a child. I learned to love plants at an early age from my mother INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

who taught me how to grow edibles, graft, and grow plants from seeds and cuttings.” She adds, “My special interest in California natives comes from learning to love the native wildflowers in the Spring when hiking the hills of the Bay Area as well as in the Yosemite area.” Activities of CNPS have taught Thekkath about the ecological benefits of using native plants. She says, “I became an ardent convert.” Edible and medicinal uses of native plants are of special interest to her and her own garden has been converted from lawn to a native meadow. With the advent of spring, plants are set to show their best displays; a time to remember those with roots deep in California soil. Beginning and advanced gardeners are welcome.

overnor Jerry Brown fought long and hard to win the election to become California’s 39th Governor. Brown served a previous term as the state’s 34th Governor during different times and circumstances. In 2010, Brown ran on the promise that he would balance the budget by slashing programs and wasteful spending. He promised a “tough budget for tough times” and that seemed to have earned him the top seat. However, the Governor would hardly be considered as a friendly face or having a “warm personality.” To help soften his image, Brown has recruited a new cabinet member to sniff out waste and fraud. Governor Brown and his wife are considering making “Sutter,” a seven year old Welsh Corgi, a permanent member of Brown’s kitchen cabinet in Sacramento. Sutter is named after John Sutter who established early settlements in

Page 5

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Sacramento and is regarded as one of California’s pioneers in the Gold Rush. Sutter was given to Brown by his sister Kathleen who moved out of state to Illinois. The addition of a fourlegged friend to the state capitol has caused great excitement within the pet loving community. The Welsh Corgi breed is becoming very popular, and many households are embracing the small herding breed originally from Wales. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II made the breed a household name by owning several Welsh Corgi dogs and proclaiming them as her favorite breed. There are two breeds of Welsh corgis, the Cardigan and Pembroke, each named for counties in Wales where they originated from. The chief difference is that the Pembroke don’t have a tail while the Cardigans do. Brown’s previous beloved dog, “Dharma, “passed away last year. Dharma is an Indian

word that is defined as individual conduct in conformity with one’s principles. Dharma was a gift from Brown’s wife, and was seen everywhere with Brown including social events such as weddings. This Welsh Corgi is proving to follow in the same footsteps as Dharma. Sutter has helped transform Brown’s persona by injecting his cute, fun loving charm and diminishing Brown’s gruff and blunt demeanor. Brown is known within inner circles by his inability to make small talk or smile. Sutter lights up the room when he comes and Brown’s friends and foes can’t help but greet the little guy. Sutter helps break the ice for Brown and allows him to conduct business without the need to make small talk. Senate Republican leader Bob Dutton has developed a good relationship with the first dog. Hopefully, this goodwill will translate into compromises that will have to be made as the budget is negotiated.

Anne Gust-Brown, Brown’s wife, announced last week that Sutter would become California’s official first dog and that “he’s going to herd the budget vote.” This obviously was a pun based on the Welsh Cori’s skills as a herding breed. Sutter has his own Facebook fan page and a Twitter account. Other political canines include President Obama’s Portuguese Water Dog “Bo” and President George Bush’s dog “Barney.” However, based on his maturity and temperament, Sutter seems to be outshining both of them politically. President Bush’s dog got bad press when he bit a fellow member of the White House corps, and Bo just hasn’t found his way yet. Sutter has won accolades from the media and politicians. Brown is seen all over town with his new best friend. Politics is a lonely business and I’m sure that Sutter must provide some level of solace and comfort to Brown on those long nights after budget negotiations

and tough talk. The unconditional acceptance and loyalty from dogs is a quality few politicians or people possess.

Fremont Crime News SUBMITTED BY CHRIS MAZZONE, FREMONT PD Robbery attempt Police are searching for a Black male suspect, 6 feet tall, medium to heavy build who attempted to rob Tony’s Nails store at Bay Street. On Saturday, February 26, the suspect simulated a gun under a bag and wore a plastic bag over his face. However, no loss has been reported. The suspect was last seen wearing a black jacket or hoodie. Man arrested for possession of stolen property On Sunday, February 27 Officer Geibig served a search warrant at a home on Michelle Street. A 32-year-old man was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and for sale and possession of stolen property. Commercial Robbery As many as 15 adult males jumped the fence into the loading-dock area of a business located at 45000 Warm Springs Boulevard, police say. The suspects allegedly tied up the employees and spent about 30 minutes loading computer components into a large “U-Haul-type of vehicle.” A review of the surveillance video from the victim business and surrounding businesses, showed the suspects, all dressed in black and carrying various weapons; hand guns and automatic rifles. CHP Cargo Theft Task Force was notified. None of the employees was injured. The case is under investigation. Suicide A 24-year-old man was found dead in the bedroom of his home on Leal Way. According to Police, it appears the male committed suicide. Officer Ferrara is investigating the case. A residential burglary was foiled when the homeowner saw an unknown suspect gain access into the house through a bathroom window. The burglary was reported on Monday, February 28 at the house located on 39200 block Monterey Way. According to the resident, the suspect is Hispanic male and was wearing black pants and black shirt. Suspect is still at large.

BY JUDY LIN ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), Mar 01 - State officials say recent storms made up for January’s dry weather, keeping California’s snowpack above average.

Masked gunmen rob Fremont technology firm AP WIRE SERVICE FREMONT, Calif. (AP), Mar 01 - Authorities are investigating an armed robbery at a Fremont technology firm by 15 masked gunmen who made off with computer parts. Fremont police say the robbers tied up, blindfolded and gagged several employees on the loading dock of Unigen Corp. on Sunday morning. They were wearing matching black clothing and armed with automatic rifles and handguns. Sgt. Chris Mazzone says the robbers spent a half-hour loading computer parts into a truck. One of the employees was able to get free and call police after the robbers left. Mazzone called the heist sophisticated and says the victims only were able to say that the robbers were all male. Unigen is still conducting an inventory to determine exactly what was stolen. Unigen manufactures memory chips among other products.

snowpack is 124 percent of normal for this time of year. Director Mark Cowin says the state appears to be on track to meet peak demand this summer. The snowpack dictates how much water will be delivered to farms and cities through the rest of the year. The state estimates it will be able to deliver 60 percent of the water requested. But Cowin says conservation must remain a priority for all Californians.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Movie Review

Jane Eyre: A Gripping Feel-Good BY MEKALA RAMAN

his tastefully updated adaptation of Jane Eyre will keep you on your toes. Set in 19th century England, the movie stays true to Charlotte Bronte’s work, easily weaving Jane’s grittier experi-

ences with lighthearted romance—and throwing in a healthy dose of suspense. In a nontraditional beginning, the adult Jane flees from Thornfield Hall, collapsing in anguish, alone in the dreary moorland of England. A kind family takes her in and she reflects on her life. An orphan, Jane has suffered cruel oppression since her aunt adopted her and then sent her to Lowood School for girls, where her only friend, Helen Burns (moving performance by Freya Parks), dies of consumption. Jane leaves the school a knowledgeable young woman and uses her skills as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Mr. Edward Rochester’s abode. Unbeknownst to Jane, her pure and direct character has bewitched the brooding Mr. Rochester. Soon Jane realizes her reciprocating love, but the dark secrets of Mr. Rochester’s past force her to abandon her home and her heart.

Mia Wasikowska captivates in her portrayal of Jane Eyre. “I like to do a lot of research on my characters,” says Wasikowska of her pre-filming preparation. And it shows. Wasikowka’s Jane is highly observant and though her childhood was riddled with “tales of woe” she chooses not to think of it as such. Instead, she maintains a healthy innocence and a fresh and blunt outlook on her surroundings— especially Mr. Rochester. The transformation from the mere observer

to the girl-in-love is astonishing. The full grin that is absent in the entire first half of the film lights across Wasikowska’s unrecognizably blissful face. She aptly depicts Jane’s chafing against the repression women suffered at the time—from the abstract societal subordination to the very tangible repression of a corset. In a story entirely about Jane Eyre, Michael Fassbender is more than memorable as an alluring Mr. Rochester. His combination of a deep, resonating voice, powerful presence, and good looks makes him a much more attractive Rochester than Bronte’s original. Judi Dench gives a laudable performance as Mrs. Fairfax, bringing her usual

zest to the motherly character. Director Cary Fukunaga’s attention to detail is apparent throughout the film. The variably grim and bright lighting corresponds with the character’s moods and the seasons. All the main characters sported meticulous Irish lilts in a refreshing bout of historical accuracy. Since restricted to about an hour and a half, the movie does leave out some details and descriptions from the novel. Jane’s time at Lowood is cut short to provide more time for development of her interactions at and after Thornfield. But screenwriter Moira Buffini stays true to the main points of the plot and conveys all the emotions, trials, triumphs, and even humor in her condensed version of the story. Dario Marianelli, composer for the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, scores again, perfectly capturing the alternately vibrant and gloomy English countryside in music. Jane Eyre is not only a true representation of Charlotte Bronte’s story, but is also an enjoyable feel-good movie that fans of the classic novel will appreciate. It speaks to young women today who have a thirst, like Jane, to be free and prove themselves to the world. JANE EYRE OPENS MARCH 18. IT IS RATED PG-13.

n the scheme of things, chronic kidney disease (CKD) typically gets less attention than the leading causes of death like heart disease and stroke. But, as it turns out, kidney health has a lot to do with heart health and vice versa. On Tuesday, March 8, from 1 to 3 p.m., a panel of physicians and other health care professionals will present a World Kidney Day seminar at Washington Hospital, focusing CKD’s link to heart disease and nutrition. The kidney-heart link The specific focus of this year’s World Kidney Day is Protect Your Kidneys and Save Your Heart. “The theme of protecting your kidneys to save your heart is popular, because everyone is interested in preventing a heart attack and stroke,” explains the presentation’s moderator, Lucia Yumena, M.D., a Washington Hospital medical staff nephrologist. To bring light to this aspect of chronic kidney disease, Jeffrey Carlson, M.D., a Washington Hospital medical staff cardiologist, will talk about its relationship to heart disease and how the two conditions impact each other. “The fact is that a lot of people that have fairly mild heart disease also have kidney disease and this multiplies the risk of future stroke and heart attack,” Dr. Carlson points out. “In people that seem to have mild kidney disease, it becomes a big risk factor in developing heart attack and stroke, so I’m going to be looking at all the risk factors that go into heart disease and kidney disease.”

Unfortunately, many patients remain unaware of the strong correlation between heart health and kidney disease, which can leave them vulnerable, according to Dr. Carlson. “I want people to really understand the strong relationship between kidney problems

The World Kidney Day Seminar and Health Fair at Washington Hospital will educate people about chronic kidney disease and its link to heart disease and diabetes. Washington Hospital physicians will share valuable information on treatment options for kidney disease and what people can do to maintain good kidney health. A special health fair will take place immediately after the seminar. The free event will take place on Tuesday, March 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Conrad E.

and heart problems,” he says. “Kidney patients don’t realize the problem they have is cardiac disease and cardiac patients don’t realize kidney problems multiple their risk of a cardiac event such as a heart attack.” Overall, Dr. Carlson says his approach to heart disease is pretty straightforward. “I plan to give people an idea of what heart disease is and what it means to them and all the things that can cause it and make it worse, as well as what you can do to prevent and reverse those things.”

a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital, will examine how to reduce risks of cardiovascular disease in the chronic kidney disease population by modifying dietary intake. “I will review the risk factors for cardiac disease and the additional risk factors for the chronic kidney disease population,” Sun explains. “My target audience is the chronic kidney population and those wanting to reduce their cardiac disease risk. “Of course, I will go over and review food choices that will fit into a heart-healthy,

Sun will help audience members learn how to navigate the tricky waters of managing both chronic kidney disease and cardiac risk factors, including which foods may be heart healthy but po-

tentially dangerous to people in later stages of CKD.

In addition to presentations by Dr. Carlson and Sun, the seminar will also include a talk by Qi Che, M.D., a Washington Hospital medical staff nephrologist who will focus on how patients can better protect kidney health. The seminar will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont, across the street from the main hospital building. A special health fair focusing on kidney disease will immediately follow the seminar from 3 to 4 p.m. and health experts from Washington Hospital, including kidney and dialysis nurses, pharmacists, dietitians and physical therapists, will be available to give out information and answer questions.

BY J. DENNIS WOLFE

n the late 1970’s, I will never forget being in a small group meeting with one of the top executives at Executive Life. He was showing us their great new product - a new Universal Life insurance policy. Coming from a strong math background, I quietly sat there while he got all the salespeople excited about commissions. They failed to notice the product’s financial flaws. As he finished, he asked for questions and comments. I raised my hand and said that if Executive Life persisted in marketing this product that they were going to fail and someone could go to jail. You could have heard a pin drop in that room. Needless to say... I also do not sell health insurance policies that use Claims Underwriting for the same reason; their products are not financially stable. These insurers are quick to issue policies despite potential pre-existing conditions that would normally preclude coverage if applica-

tions were thoroughly reviewed at submission. The big print gives and the small print takes. They perform the due diligence of underwriting at the worst possible time - when you file a claim. This has all the makings of a financial disaster. When a large medical claim arises and you think you are protected against financial loss, these carriers, often out-ofstate, begin underwriting by writing to every doctor you ever visited, or even thought about visiting. Their purpose is to determine if claims submitted were a result of a pre-existing condition. This process can take weeks even months while you are stressed because your providers are calling for payment and threatening. Still, claims remain unpaid and it appears that they never intended to pay the claims. If you give up, the carrier wins. The only way to buy an individual health insurance policy is to apply with a reputable carrier who thoroughly underwrites

your policy when you submit the application - Application Underwriting. All major, well-known, creditable carriers use this process. It ensures that you are actually insured and protected when the policy is issued! When you submit an application through this type of underwriting, the carrier asks about your doctors and the reasons for visiting them. They want to know when these visits took place and the result of care received. Once they have this information, the burden is fully on their shoulders to thoroughly review the information and write for medical records during this process. This does takes time and can be frustrating. Being patient is critical Given Claims versus Application Underwriting, I will take the latter process every day of the week and so should you. I share all of this for two significant reasons. One - you deserve to be well-informed. A low premium means nothing if the policy is not worth the paper

on which it is printed. Two - in order to sustain itself in the marketplace, even the reputable carriers must work to increase market share. If it is true that the rich get richer, then the opposite is also true - the poor get poorer. As the larger, creditable carriers continue to expand, the pressure on smaller, but still creditable carriers is increased. Years ago in Santa Clara Valley, a local HMO - Health Alliance suddenly closed its doors. Prudential and Kaiser stepped in and insured everyone who suddenly found themselves without insurance. Prudential later divested its health insurance portfolio in 1998. In these times, you need to be especially observant of your health insurance carrier’s financial health, even in the group market.

Stay healthy. Stay tuned. Get involved. Learn what is being done. Your life now does indeed depend upon it.

Gary Pacheco awarded HARD honor SUBMITTED BY HARD PHOTO BY SIMON WONG Gary Pacheco, Vice President of Pacheco Brothers Gardening, was presented with the 2010 Hayward Area Recreation and Park District’s (HARD) 2010 Annual Board of Directors’ Individual Award at a luncheon at Mt. Eden Mansion on January 28. In 1962, the Board of Directors established an Annual Awards policy to recognize individuals and organizations that voluntarily assist HARD in its mission to provide high quality leisure facilities and programs to its residents. The Awards Committee, consisting of HARD Directors Minane Jameson and Carol Pereira and staff members, Kerrilyn Ely and John Gouveia, reviewed the nominations for 2010 and announced the winners in mid-January. Pacheco was nominated by his brother George, who regards Gary as “his best friend,” for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the community. The brothers are partners in Pacheco Brothers Gardening, a company with which many community members are familiar. Pacheco handles much of

the behind-the-scenes logistics and has organized equipment and manpower for community projects and events such as the annual Arbor Day event in Hayward and the Rowell Ranch Rodeo. Pacheco has also assisted HARD by providing technical advice on plant and tree issues, water leaks and other problems that have arisen over the years. He is usually the one who provides “hands-on” assistance when the District, or just about any other community organization, needs a helping hand.

“I appreciate the work that everyone else has done behind the scenes. HARD does tremendous work with its projects. We were born and raised in Hayward and it’s very rewarding to work one-onone with city and HARD staff. We look forward to many more years,” says Pacheco.

rose will benefit construction of the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The rose symbolically commemorates the heroism of

the passengers and crew of United Flight 93 which, on September 11, 2001, crashed into a field near Shanksville after the 40 passengers and crew fought back against terrorists attempting to attack our nation’s capital. Fundraising is underway to complete the memorial which is set for dedication in September 2011, to coincide with the tenth anniversary of September 11. When completed, the memorial will be the only unit of the National Park system honoring the heroes of September 11 and the valor of the passengers and crew of Flight 93. A hybrid tea rose, the 9/11 Flight 93 Rose is dark red in color with a white stripe on the inside petals and is named and registered with the American Rose Society/International Cultivar Registration Authority for Roses. The concept for the rose was originated by Michael L. Emerson, a Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign Steering Committee member and rose-growing enthusiast. “The 9/11 Flight 93 Rose honors and commemorates the 40 heroes of Flight 93 in two important ways,” said Emerson. “It helps to generate funds to build the National Memorial in Shanksville and is a daily reminder that can be owned, cared for and enjoyed by anyone touched by this incredible story of bravery. It is a remembrance that can be grown in any backyard, community park, business, school - almost anywhere.” In effect from March 1, 2011, the 9/11 Flight 93 Rose is available for purchase through three participating nurseries. Each rose bush retails for between $17 and $30 depending on size. Five dollars from the sale of each rose bush, included in the price, will be donated to the Flight 93 Memorial Fund and also fund landscaping and beautification initiatives as part of the memorial’s design. For more information or to purchase the 9/11 Flight 93 Rose, visit www.honorflight93.org/rose.

PUBLIC NOTICE This ordinance will be considered for adoption by the Newark City Council on Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 7:30 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 37101 Newark Boulevard, Newark, California. Summary of Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newark Amending Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 2.08 (City Council) of the Newark Municipal Code

PUBLIC NOTICE SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 447 of the City Council of the City of Newark Amending Title 17 (Zoning) of the Newark Municipal Code in order to implement Programs 5, 10, 11, and 13 of the City of Newark Housing Element Program 5–Emergency Homeless Shelter allows emergency homeless shelters by right in the RH (High Density Residential) zoning district. Land with RH zoning is located near Four Corners, along Central Avenue north of Birch Street, and at the southeast end of Cherry Street. This change is necessary for the City to comply with a State law. Program 10–Multi-family Projects with Six or More Units implements a nondiscretionary design review process for multi-family projects with six or more units rather than requiring a conditional use permit. The zoning text amendment makes these projects a permitted use with Architectural and Site Plan Review approval. Program 11–Density Bonus Ordinance complies with State law by adopting a Density Bonus Ordinance that is consistent with state requirements, Government Code Section 65915 et seq. The State law requires cities to grant a density bonus and other incentives to developers who provide certain types and/or amounts of housing. The amount of the density bonus and the number of incentives are set on a sliding scale determined by the types and amounts of housing the developer commits to provide. Program 13–Transitional and Supportive Housing complies with recent changes to State law. The State requires that each city treat transitional and supportive housing as a residential use subject only to the restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zoning district. The amendment states that transitional and supportive housing are permitted in single-family and multi-family homes. This ordinance was adopted at the regular meeting of the Newark City Council on February 24, 2011, and shall take effect 30 days after the date of its adoption. Council Member Nagy moved that it be adopted and passed, which motion was duly seconded, and said ordinance was passed and adopted and ordered published pursuant to Government Code 36933 (c) (1) within 15 days of the date of adoption in The Tri-City Voice, a newspaper of general circulation published nearest thereto by the following vote: AYES: Freitas, Nagy, Apodaca, Smith, NOES: None, ABSENT: Huezo.

Man reunited with cat after four-month search AP WIRE SERVICE BY KENDRA EVENSEN IDAHO STATE JOURNAL AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho (AP), Jan 29 - A California man’s four-month search for his Cinderella reached a happy ending this month, thanks to a harness rather than a glass slipper and a local woman with a fondness for stray cats. Bill Uhlig of Covelo, Calif., was still trying to cope with the recent death of his wife when he decided to go on a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier national parks with his grandson last September. He brought along his “adopted baby,” a cat

named Cinderella, who often traveled with him. While on the road, they stopped at a gas station in American Falls to fill up and then traveled to a rest area about 10 miles away so they could relax and have a bite to eat. That’s when Uhlig noticed Cinderella the cat he had raised and fed from birth, after it’s mother abandoned it was missing. He started a frantic search. “We looked all over and then we went back to the American Falls gas station,” he said, adding that they checked with nearby businesses and searched every place they could think of. “We looked for her

the rest of the day.” By that time Uhlig, who had become ill on the trip, was feeling a lot worse, and they decided they needed to travel home. So Uhlig headed back to California without Cinderella. He didn’t give up looking though. He left a description of the cat and his phone number on bulletin boards in town and his family members contacted numerous Humane Societies and animal shelters in hopes that someone might find the gray cat with unique, Scottishfold ears, who was wearing a green harness. A Humane Society worker in Aberdeen later found a cat in

her barn matching the description and contacted Uhlig, who willingly made the two-day trip to pick up the animal who looked just like Cinderella only she wasn’t. Uhlig didn’t realize that he had the wrong cat at first and took her home. But she acted wild and didn’t want anything to do with him, unlike his tame and devoted Cinderella. “She hissed at me ... and she fought with me, but I just thought she was really mad at me,” he said. “She looked exactly like my cat.’’ The cat eventually ran away, and Uhlig started another search in California, still believ-

ing that the animal was his Cinderella. “I was looking all over for her,” he said. “I started advertising, but nobody saw her.” In the meantime, American Falls resident Angela Quinn, who takes care of numerous wild and abandoned cats, noticed an unusual cat was visiting her property. She was gray with Scottishfold ears, and she was wearing a green harness. She was tame, but very thin, Quinn said. “I’ve had throw-away cats come here before, but I’ve never seen one as thin as she continued on page 31

The Bookworm These days, it’s a battle to stay in business. From your command post at HQ, you see the daily skirmish as your employees go hand-tohand with the competition. Sometimes they capture new clients and other times, they’re just not strong enough to withstand other forces. Top brass would love to have your people win, but the troops are getting tired and morale is low. Should you deploy more people, or stay the course? In the new book Army of Entrepreneurs by Jennifer Prosek, you’ll learn a whole new way of doing battle in business, and this one may win the war. To grow during a recession is an impressive feat for a business, and Jennifer Prosek’s PR and consulting firm did just that – twice. It started a few years after Prosek took over her firm. She began to notice that she was doing all the work at the office and her employees were missing opportunities that she could clearly see. She talked with other business owners and realized that those in other industries were seeing the same problems. She recognized that she needed to train her employees in entrepreneurial skills and she had to show them what she wanted. She created an Army of Entrepreneurs (AOE) by instituting what she calls Commission for Life, which is a way for employees to increase their paychecks with one simple action. Prosek says that by giving her

employees this “personal stake” in the company, morale improved, too. So how can you draft your own army? First of all, Prosek says, create a core culture in your business. Adopt transparency in all

aspects and “strive for overcommunication” because it keeps people informed and it squashes rumors. Celebrate with your team and institute regular off-site fun. Offer cross-training, professional development, and mentorship programs. Encourage autonomy and make your employees fearless in the office and out. Present rewards often. Develop zero tolerance for “deal breakers.” Utilize social media and employee strengths. Always be aware of talent in need of a workplace like yours (but learn to interview prospects to choose wisely). Be a good boss.

Having been on both sides of the Executive Desk, what’s inside “Army of Entrepreneurs” sure sounds great to me. Think about it: employees love autonomy and a lack of micromanaging. Bosses love that the work gets done, on time and without fuss, which makes them look great. Company owners love business growth without having to worry about a revolving employment door. But will the AOE program work for a company of your size? Author Jennifer Prosek says it will, and she offers ideas and tips meant both for larger corporations wanting to give this method a whirl, and for smaller companies with very few employees. Prosek backs up her information with anecdotes and quizzes to keep managers of any size business on the right track. If you’re taking a walloping from the New Economy, why not try something different by reading this book? At the very least, “Army of Entrepreneurs” will give your business a fighting chance. c.2011, Amacom $23.00 / $26.00 Canada 209 pages

Councilwoman Barbara Halliday. For the last three years, the Task Force has held monthly clean-up events in neighborhoods throughout Hayward and has attracted

hundreds of volunteers to help with the effort. Activities include picking up litter and painting over graffiti. The work is not glamorous but showing that others care

about a neighborhood that may need a little assistance, helps make those in that neighborhood care, too. Blytha Bowers, Chair of the Keep Hayward Clean and

Green Task Force, accepted the award on behalf of her fellow members and volunteers. The Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in Room 2A, Hayward City Hall, to plan its volunteer efforts and consider other ideas for improving the quality of life in the community. “I wish to thank Barbara Halliday for nominating KHCG, HARD for this recognition and the City of Hayward for the privilege of being able to serve the community. The Task Force’s members love what we do and enjoy excellent support. Mayor Sweeney volunteers for our events, painting and clearing refuse. Thank you, thank you and thank you,” says Bowers, recalling her mother’s advice to express ‘thanks’ three times as a sign of true gratitude.

Man reunited with cat after four-month search when one of her friends saw the animal and mentioned that it matched the description of the one Uhlig was looking for. Quinn contacted local authorities, who said Uhlig had already found his cat, but it piqued their interest when she mentioned the green harness. They contacted Uhlig, who readily made a second, two-day trip to Idaho. Quinn said Cin-

derella immediately responded to Uhlig when she heard his voice and jumped into his lap as soon as she was close enough to smell him. That meant a lot to Uhlig, who finally knew for sure he had found Cinderella. “She came right to me and jumped on my lap and stayed there for about an hour,” he said. “She wouldn’t leave me.”

Quinn said the experience reminded her of a Disney movie. “It was a really heartwarming experience to see a man who loved a cat so much that he would travel 900 miles, twice,’’ she said, adding that it was hard to let the cat go, but it was easier knowing she was going back to a good home. Uhlig said he appreciates

everyone who assisted him in the four-month search for his Cinderella, adding that she’s healthy once again and settling back into her life in California. “I never expected to ever find her again,’’ he said. —Information from: Idaho State Journal, http://www.journalnet.com

We were all hungry, so we walked to the Doggie Diner at the corner of Mission and C Street for our first meal in Hayward. The meal consisted of hot dogs with mustard and ketchup. We were not familiar with the new tastes and foods of the United States. Needless to say, we didn’t like the taste of them and started

missing our more familiar foods like tortillas and beans. We crossed the street to the Hayward Library to eat our hot dogs on the green grass.

BY PALLAVI GOGOI AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Feb 25 Robert Benmosche, chief executive of the bailed-out insurance company AIG, isn’t known to be shy. On Friday’s conference call to discuss earnings, a Goldman Sachs analyst baited him with a question: ``If pre-crisis you were the 800-pound gorilla, how much do you think you weigh now, 200, 400, 700?’’ Benmosche fired back: ``I would say we are about 780 pounds, and on our way back.’’ Despite his bravado at the company’s first earnings call in two years, American International Group Inc. is hardly the

giant it used to be. Its $69 billion market value is far below the $147 billion it commanded prior to the financial crisis. AIG’s reputation took a beating after the company teetered on the edge of bankruptcy in 2008 and had to be bailed out by the U.S. government. AIG has recovered from that nadir. Last month it laid the groundwork to start repaying the American taxpayer and the company has raised a stockpile of cash from selling assets. Since 2008, AIG has sold 33 businesses and raised more than $57 billion in cash and securities. A portion of those sales lifted AIG’s net income to $11.2 billion in the fourth

Commission announced the civil charges against Rajat Gupta on Tuesday. The SEC said Gupta told Raj Rajaratnam, founder of the Galleon Group hedge fund, that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway planned to invest $5 billion in Goldman before it was publicly announced at the height of the financial crisis. Gupta also is charged with giving Rajaratnam confidential earnings information from

quarter. The company doesn’t have much to sell any more and will have to rely on its core insurance businesses going forward. AIG consists predominantly of two businesses: property and casualty insurer Chartis, and life insurer SunAmerican Financial Group. The signs so far, aren’t that encouraging. Chartis just reported an operating loss of $4 billion in the fourth quarter, while SunAmerica’s income of $1 billion was $43 million lower than the previous year. Investors were especially surprised when the company announced an addition of $4.2 billion to loss reserves at Chartis. “It raises questions,” said Cliff Gallant, analyst at Keefe Bruyette

& Woods. “This is not the first reserve charge they’ve taken they took one in the fourth quarter the previous year - it seems like they are having trouble getting their estimates right.” Gallant said he’s even more worried that AIG is adding to its loss reserves when rivals Travelers Cos. and Chubb Corp. are doing the opposite, taking money out of reserves because of lower expected losses. AIG stock fell $1.96, or 5 percent, to $38.47. AIG’s performance is also being closely watched by the U.S. government, which owns 92 percent of the company. Starting in a few weeks, the government plans to start selling those shares over the course

of two years. The sales could be in jeopardy if AIG’s performance falters. AIG became a symbol of lax regulation and excess risk on Wall Street during the financial crisis that crested in late 2008. AIG had written insurance on the value of hundreds of billions in mortgage investments held by financial institutions. When the investments lost value, AIG could not afford to make good on its contracts. Finally, it had to take the government’s help to stay out of bankruptcy. AIG has whittled down the division that wrote insurance on complex financial products and is now returning to its roots in the insurance business.

Goldman and Procter & Gamble. Gupta served on Goldman’s board from 2006 until last May. He was a P&G board member from 2007 until resigning Tuesday, after the charges were announced. Gupta was an investor in some of the Galleon hedge funds when he passed the information along, and he had other business interests with Rajaratnam, the SEC said. Rajaratnam used the information from Gupta to ille-

gally profit in hedge fund trades, the SEC said. Prosecutors have said Rajaratnam generated profits of more than $50 million after getting inside information about public companies’ earnings and plans for mergers and acquisitions. The information on Goldman made Rajaratnam’s funds $17 million richer, the SEC said. The P&G data created illegal profits of more than $570,000 for Galleon funds managed by others, the SEC said. “Gupta was honored with the highest trust of leading public companies, and he betrayed that trust by disclosing their most sensitive and valuable secrets,” SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami said.

Gupta’s attorney, Gary Naftalis, called the allegations “totally baseless.” Naftalis noted that the SEC isn’t accusing Gupta of trading in the stocks of the companies himself or sharing profits with Rajaratnam on the trades. Gupta actually lost his $10 million investment in a hedge fund managed by Rajaratnam at the time he allegedly passed on the information, Naftalis said. The SEC’s complaint lays out, in moment-to-moment details, its allegations of how the insider trading occurred. It notes how often the two men spoke in September 2008, when Goldman was negotiating a deal with Buffett’s investment firm. continued on page 35

Ex-Goldman director charged with insider trading - continued from page 34

At the time, Wall Street was reeling from the failure of investment bank Lehman Bros. Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein told the bank’s board of a possible investment by Berkshire on Sept. 21. Over the next two days, Rajaratnam’s funds bought 120,000 shares of Goldman. He picked up one-third of those shares while on the phone with Gupta, the SEC said. On Sept. 23, Goldman’s board agreed to the Berkshire deal during a call that ended at 3:53 p.m. Gupta called Rajaratnam once the call ended. In the minutes before the market closed, Rajaratnam bought 175,000 more Goldman shares. Rajaratnam sold those shares the next day. His profit: $900,000. Goldman declined to comment Tuesday on the charges. When Goldman appointed

Gupta to its board of directors in 2006, the investment bank’s release said that Gupta would serve on the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees of the Board. Rajaratnam, a one-time billionaire who is free on $100 million bail, has pleaded not guilty to criminal securities fraud charges. He has maintained that he traded only on information that was already public. He is scheduled to go on trial next week in a probe that has resulted in criminal charges against more than 25 people. Of those, 19 have pleaded guilty to charges, with the majority of them cooperating. Jim McCarthy, a spokesman for Rajaratnam, declined to comment on the civil charges against Gupta. The case against Gupta will be heard by an administrative BY ALEX VEIGA AP REAL ESTATE WRITER LOS ANGELES (AP), Feb 25 - Officials representing several New York public pension funds say a federal judge has cleared the way for a $624 million settlement in a legal dispute

law judge at the SEC. That proceeding will determine whether Gupta should pay restitution and civil fines and whether he should be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company, the SEC said. Gupta, 62, a Connecticut resident, is also a board member of AMR Corp., the parent company of American Airlines and chairman of Genpact Ltd., a Bermuda-based management contractor that is traded on the NYSE. And he is on the board of Harman International Industries Inc., a consumer electronics company based in Stamford, Conn. Gupta’s list of achievements is long. A guest of the White House at President Obama’s first state dinner held for the visiting Prime Minister of India, Gupta is one of India’s most high-profile immigrants. He came to the Harvard Business School in 1971 and joined the blue-chip consulting

firm McKinsey right after graduation. Gupta became McKinsey’s first non-Western head when he became worldwide managing director of the firm from 1994 to 2003. ``Prosecutors are going after the biggest heads and now it has infiltrated the largest brokerage and hedge funds around,’’ said Andrew Stoltmann, a Chicago securities attorney who has handled insider-trading cases. ``We are seeing the reaches of insider trading at the highest level.’’ The criminal securities fraud against Rajaratnam, who has both U.S. and Sri Lankan citizenship, was announced in October 2009 by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. Prosecutors described it as the largest hedge fund insider-trading prosecution in history. It was also described as the first time investigators made extensive use of wiretaps in an in-

sider-trading probe. The investigative tool is more traditionally used in drug and organization crime probes. Late last year, prosecutors revealed that the Rajaratnam investigation had resulted in an expanded probe focusing on those in the securities industry who provide insider information about public companies to hedge funds, but disguise the information as the product of research. If convicted, Rajaratnam faces up to 185 years in prison. Potential penalties in insidertrading cases can sound ominous when the statutory limits are stacked together. But they can shrink dramatically when the cases are resolved. —Associated Press Writers Larry Neumeister and Rachel Beck in New York and Dan Sewell in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

Skywest Golf Course and Mission Hills Golf Course, operated by the Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District (HARD), offer East Bay golfers two en-

tertaining and distinct options. Skywest is an 18-hole, par 72 championship course which HARD’s manager of Golf Operations Dan Giammona says is deceptive. “It’s a relatively flat tree lined course that looks like it plays easy, but when you’re actually out there it’s a tough course which plays longer than the 6,700 yards it’s listed as,” Giammona said. “It’s a beautiful course.” Mission Hills is a 9-hole executive course that, according to Giammona, is well suited for golfers with busy schedules. “If you don’t have four hours to play gold, you can play Mission Hills in an hour and a half,” Giammona said. “I think it’s more of a secret for everyone out in the Hayward Area. People may have heard of the course but not even know it’s there. It’s a little jewel and I think that once people play it, they’re going to be hooked—especially if they enjoy the short game.” South of Hayward, options are plentiful as well. Easily accessible to Fremont residents is the Fremont Park Golf Course with nine holes. Located adjacent to Lake Elizabeth in the heart of

greens are immaculate, they’re quick and they roll true.” The par-72 course runs 6,329 yards and is complemented by a full range of amenities including a restaurant, driving range, putting green and practice bunker. According to Stevens, Summit-

Fremont Park

Fremont, the par-32 course and driving range is the only golf course in Fremont. “It’s a very difficult golf course,” Fremont Park golf instructor Ken Powell said. “It’s considered a short course, but it’s very narrow. The condition is always good and as far as nine-hole courses go, it’s as good as anything around.” The Sunol Valley Golf Club bills itself as “one of the most affordable golf

courses in the San Francisco Bay Area,” whose mission is to provide “a course for the working man.” Sunol Valley hosts two separate 18-hole courses, Cypress and Palm, which offer guests two distinct experiences; Cypress is touted for its “tranquil setting,” while Palm presents a more rigorous challenge. In Milpitas, Summitpointe Golf Club features another 18-hole course

“Once you get to the top of three and four, you can see all the way from San Jose to the San Mateo Bridge. The

pointe is also the only course in the East Bay which offers Nike Golf camps during the summer. “If you were going to compare it to courses in the area, I would put it in the same difficulty as Stonebrae,” said Stevens. “On our driving range, you can hit balls into water, which is fun for some people. We also have a really awesome learning center and junior academy that are year around.” TPC Stonebrae: (510) 728-7878 www.tpcstonebrae.com; Skywest: (510) 317-2300 www.haywardrec.org/golf_skywest.html; Mission Hills: (510) 888-0200 www.haywardrec.org/golf.html; Fremont Park: (510) 790-1919 www.fremontparkgolf.com; Sunol: (925) 862-0414 www.sunolvalley.com; and Summitpointe: (408) 262-8816 www.americangolf.com/ca/milpitassummitpointe-golf-club

amont Banks Jr. is a young man with a singleminded determination to excel at everything he does - academics, personal health and fitness and basketball. Banks, 15, stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs in at 215 pounds. Hayward-born and bred, Banks first picked up a basketball when he was in the third grade, played for fun with some friends and found he enjoyed the sport. Adults noticed his flair and coaches and family began nurturing his talent; he started playing in National Junior Basketball leagues when he was in the fourth grade. There is a big difference between then and now. He knows more about the game; has honed his skills; and adheres to a strict regimen.

After the NJB, he progressed to Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) competitions, joining Alameda-based North Coast Express when he was 10, moving to Bay Area Magic in Richmond a year later, then joined Walnut Creek-based Bay Area Elite when he was almost 13, where he was coached by Al Attles III, the father of recent Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Al Attles Jr. Most recently, Banks has played varsity for the Hayward-based Dream Team. His dedication and hard work have taken him to national tournaments in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oregon, Texas, Chicago and many other venues, where his teams have earned first-place titles, and brought great exposure. While with Bay Area Elite, he was drafted to play one game for

the Dream Team which was short a player at the time; as a result, the University of Southern California invited him to apply after he scored 18 points, not realizing he was only 13. Banks attended Fairview Elementary and Bret Harte Middle schools in Hayward before his parents decided on home-schooling which provides one-on-one tuition and the flexibility for the necessary training to perform as an athlete. His immediate ambition is to attend a college-preparatory high school with high academic standards and a good basketball program. He understands the importance of a solid educational foundation on which to build throughout his life and points to the benefits of a small student body and a low teacherstudent ratio.

Ultimately, he wishes to play basketball professionally but, at this stage, has no particular team preference. Formerly, it was possible to turn professional out of high school. Today, professional teams require players to have attended college for at least a year. Additionally, college scouts seldom attend high school games preferring to spot players at AAU tournaments; in turn, scouts for professional teams recruit from colleges. Banks started training seriously when he was 11 and

now trains for six hours daily – basketball skills in the morning, followed by a break, then repeat training, before traveling to Walnut Creek for plyometrics (a jump-training exercise designed to bridge the gap between strength and speed) and court training. Weights are not part of his program. Banks relies on his own body weight to develop agility. His diet consists of fruits, vegetables, baked chicken, low-calorie multi-seasoning, salads, protein shakes and vitamins. Although he laments the absence of strong flavors, he remains disciplined. “To succeed, pick a regimen and stick to it. Be focused,” encourages Banks who played football briefly in sixth and seventh grade. “I’m lucky to have family and people around me who are supportive and have given me the opportunities to do something positive and continue on that path. I help my younger brothers with their basketball skills and plan to coach other kids in the future.”

SUBMITTED BY JOANNE ESPINOSA This winter, just following the holiday season, the Pallen M2 Sports Martial Arts Team put away their gifts and left their holiday lights on at home to compete in what is recognized as the super bowl of sport martial arts known as the National Blackbelt League Super Grands XXI Tournament in Sacramento. Nearly the entire Pallen M2 team (which is made up of M2 students from Castro Valley and Dublin) were first time competitors in the NBL. Consequently, they all entered as wild-card competitors, meaning the competitor has no seed or rating. As such, the team members were forced to go through a gauntlet of competitions to work their way into the first and second seed bracket which is a rare feat. An 11-year-old Fremont girl named Rochelle Espinosa matched that feat. Rochelle won the wild card round, earning the right to compete against all the other nationally rated competitors in the preliminaries. In the Preliminaries, Rochelle placed in the top two

MVU girls Black headed to semifinals SUBMITTED BY JUNE HEATON Mission Valley United 93 girls Black, a Fremont-based under-17 girls DI soccer team, advanced to the NorCal Premier Soccer League’s Semifinals after winning the quarterfinal match-up on Sunday, Feb. 27 – a 1-0 win over CAP FC 93 in Mathers. MVU took the lead against CAP FC shortly into the first half with a goal from Melissa Heaton on a pass by Megan Ravenscroft. MVU’s defense brought their A game and shut down CAP’s offense. Semifinals are scheduled for April 2 in Turlock. In the meantime, the girls will be competing in the Northern California Spring Showcase, held March 5 and 6; CYSA State Cup, on March 19 and 20; and the Nomads Coaches Showcase Tournament in San Diego from March 26 to 28. MVU defenders Sara Hardin (left) and Kelly Castongia (right), along with goalkeeper Jessica Espinosa (center) were unbeatable in their shutout over CAP FC 93.

spots. (Only the top two competitors advanced to compete the next day in the evening finals show. In the Finals, Rochelle was the underdog because her opponent was the poster child for the league and was rated number one. With her instructor Grand Master Max Pallen Jr., Rochelle relaxed backstage as she waited for two hours to compete. “Our strategy was to keep Rochelle isolated and away from everyone so that she wouldn’t get too nervous,” Pallen said. “As her performance time approached, we warmed her up and had her peak just at the right moment.” On stage, a nervous Rochelle performed a nearly flawless kata; the defending champion matched Rochelle’s score for a tie, forcing the two to perform a tie-breaking kata. This time Rochelle found her mental place and performed the best kata she had ever executed. It proved too much for the defending champion, and the judges scored in favor of Rochelle, who became the new world champion for the 11-and-under Kenpo/Kajukenbo Forms division.
