Fire breaks out Evergreen Oil Refinery BY MEENU GUPTA

SUBMITTED BY SERGEANT KEVIN MOSCUZZA, MILPITAS PD How often do you see drivers texting or talking with hand-held cell phones and wish they would be stopped and cited? As part of California’s first Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April, the Milpitas Police Department will be holding zero tolerance days for cell phone use and texting. A ticket for violating either the hands free or no texting law costs a minimum of $159; subsequent tickets cost $279. Distracted driving is a serious concern that puts everyone on the road at risk, joining speeding and alcohol as leading factors in fatal and serious injury crashes. As a result, law enforcement across the state, including the Milpitas Police Department, is increasingly cracking down on cell phone use and texting. Starting Monday, April 4 and throughout the month, Milpitas Police Department will join over 225 local agencies plus 103 CHP Area Commands conducting zero tolerance enforcements. “I consider this to be as dangerous as drunk driving,” said Milpitas Police Department Chief Dennis Graham. “Cell phone use and texting while driving are such serious concerns that we are having officers on the road demonstrate zero tolerance when it comes to distracted driving. Is that text message or cell phone call really worth $159?” Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves. Younger, inexperienced drivers under 20 years old have the highest proportion of distractionrelated fatal crashes. In addition, studies show that texting while driving can delay a driver’s reaction time just as severely as a blood alcohol content of a legally drunk driver. “We recognize that convincing drivers to refrain from using cell phones or texting while driving isn’t

easy,” said Office of Traffic Safety Director Christopher J. Murphy. “It’s very difficult to resist the urge to check an incoming text or answer a cell phone call. That’s why we are stepping up enforcement and public awareness efforts. Convincing California drivers to wear seat belts 20 years ago wasn’t easy either, but in 2010 more than 96 percent buckled up and thousands of lives were saved.” Studies show that there is no difference in risk between hands-free and hand-held cell phone conversations; both can result in “inattention blindness.” This occurs when the brain isn’t seeing what is clearly visible because the drivers’ focus is on a phone conversation, not on the road. There are simple measures drivers can take to minimize distractions in the vehicle: • Turn your phone off or put it out of reach before starting the car. ·Alert callers that you are unable to take calls when driving by changing your voicemail message. • Make it a point not to call or text anyone who may be driving, such as during the commute to and from work or school, especially parents calling teen drivers.

An equipment failure caused a two-alarm fire the fire at Evergreen Oil Hazardous Waste Facility and Refinery located at 6880 Smith Avenue in Newark about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 29. The company refines used oil and complex watery oils found in service bays, car washes and garages for reuse. Fire melted a fiberglass tank containing hydrochloric acid. One employee was transported to the hospital with an arm injury, though authorities said there was no health risk to the community. Evergreen has been repeatedly cited by the City of Newark for odor releases and fined by California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) for health and safety violations. A representative of the company could not be reached for comment. “Evergreen Oil Refinery and Cal/OSHA continue their joint investigation into the Newark plant fire,” said Aisha Knowles, Public Information Officer, Alameda County Fire Department.

• If you do need to make an important call or respond to a text message, pull over to a safe place to do so.

SUBMITTED BY COMMANDER ROBERT DOUGLAS, NEWARK PD

• If going cold turkey is too much of a stretch and you just can’t turn your phone off, consider using one of the available mobile phone apps that holds calls and incoming texts.

On Friday, March 25, a juvenile who hid inside Toys R Us and stole a radio tried to escape by hiding in bushes behind the store. He was caught and Officer Nobbe served the suspect’s father with notice for the juvenile to appear in court. 19-year-old Eran Paz was arrested for a misdemeanor warrant and marijuana possession. The incident was reported on Saturday, March 26. The Hayward resident was arrested during a warrant service at the E-Z-8 Motel. Officer Cervantes is investigating the case.

“We just want drivers to use some common sense when they’re behind the wheel and focus on driving,” said Murphy. “Think about the vast majority of calls and texts you send or receive every day. Were any really worth a $159 ticket – or worse, a crash, injury or death? It’s just not worth it.

SUBMITTED BY RYAN PUN Jasmin Denoga, a Union City resident attending SF State University student has landed an internship with Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences internship program is an extremely prestigious program, and has been hailed for more than a decade as one of the top ten internships in the country. Three of the 38 recent winners are from the Bay Area. Denoga had the opportunity to work in CBS’s production management in Los Angeles. At the network’s digital remastering department, she converted classic shows such as Kojak, I Love Lucy, Twin Peaks and Hawaii Five-O into audio formats fit for Blu-Ray release. She gave a lot of credit to SF State for helping her develop the necessary skills to maneuver in the industry and finding opportunities to use those skills. After working at CBS through the summer, Denoga worked for KGO-Channel 7, and recently won the Bay Area Star Internship Award for her outstanding performance at the station. Aside from working for some of the biggest networks in the country, Denoga is also an active participant of SF State’s own productions and other projects in

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

the community. The radio and television major was the host of the variety show Under San Francisco last semester and is the producer of a student team creating an advertisement for YMCA San Francisco. Denoga’s professor, Miriam Smith, is confident that her star pupil will lead a successful career in the industry. “You look at our school’s Hall of Fame; a lot of them come from the Broadcast and Electronic Arts (BECA) Department,” she says. “I am sure that we will see Jasmin’s picture up there real soon.” As for Denoga, she has also set up a future goal for herself. “I would love to work as a producer behind the scenes on the show Modern Family.” Denoga would also like to encourage all the other students pursuing a career in television. “Don’t be scared,” she says. “The people you meet are the people that will help you in the future, so network, network and network!” The history of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences dates to the earliest days of the television industry itself. When Syd Cassyd, its founder, first conceived of the organization, he envisioned a serious forum where all aspects and concerns of the fledgling medium could be discussed.

InHealth Channel Program Examines Treatment Options for Coronary Artery Disease

oronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women, according to the National Institutes of Health. While the disease is common, there is no one treatment that is guaranteed to be effective for all cases. Treatment options are focused on opening up blocked arteries with the help of medications or surgical interventions. In an upcoming InHealth Channel television program titled: “Voices InHealth: Decisions in Cardiac Care,” two leading Washington Hospital heart specialists will discuss some of the treatment options available for coronary artery disease. Stents Hold Arteries Open “Coronary stents are mesh tubes that are inserted into a blocked artery,” explains Ash Jain, M.D., an interventional cardiac specialist and co-medical director

of Vascular Services at Washington Hospital. “Once in place, they expand, opening up the blockage.” During the television program, Jain talks about the use of stents and discusses some of the factors that lead to the decision to insert a stent. Over the years, he has been a principal investigator in a number of clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of stents. “We first try angioplasty, which involves inserting a balloon to push open the blockage,” Jain says. “If that doesn’t work, we move to the stent. About 80 to 90 percent of the time, people end up needing a stent. With balloon angioplasty, the balloon is removed. But with the stent, the metal mesh re- Ash Jain, M.D., interventional cardiac specialist and co-medical director of Vascular Services at Washington Hospital. mains in the artery to keep it propped open.” procedures we are doing are off-pump.

He said the real breakthrough was the advent of stents that are coated with medications that help to prevent the buildup of plaque. “Stents coated with medication have significantly improved success rates,” he says.

pring weather means more time spent outdoors with our pets – from long evening strolls to afternoon picnics in the park. What most of us don’t know is that increased outdoor activity can put our pets at increased risk for heartworm disease. Mosquitoes tend to multiply in most climates during warmer months and are the main cause of heartworms in our pets. Heartworm is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, a worm that enters the bloodstream of dogs, and less commonly, cats, ferrets, coyotes, and foxes. The worm is transmitted by bites from infected mosquitoes. Once mature, the worms live in the heart of pets and clog the heart and accompanying blood vessels. The worms interfere with proper function of heart valves increasing the workload of the heart and reducing blood supply to vital bodily organs. Heartworms can cause congestive heart failure, damage to the lungs, kidneys, and other vital organs. Female worms can measure as long as 14 inches and in advanced stages of the disease, a dog can have as many as 300 worms. Although the southeastern states

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

have a much higher prevalence of this terrible disease, no state escapes unaffected. Heartworms have been found in every one of the 50 United States – including Alaska. Most pets infected with heartworm disease don’t show symptoms for as long as two years. Unfortunately, by the time symptoms are detected, significant internal organ damage has occurred and the disease is in advanced stages. Diagnosis is usually made by simple in-house blood tests. If heartworms are detected, your veterinarian will perform additional tests such as urinalysis and radiographs (“x-rays”) to determine the extent of damage and stage. Prevention is relatively easy as long as pet owners administer monthly heartworm preventives year- round. The most common heartworm preventives are Heartgard Plus™, Revolution™, Interceptor™, and Sentinel™. Please discuss which products are best for your pet with your veterinarian. Disconcerting information regarding heartworms surfaced in a compliance study performed by the American Animal Hospital Association. In this study,

it was found that less than 50% of pet owners comply with their veterinarian’s recommendations to administer monthly heartworm products that can prevent the disease. Either pet owners were purchasing the heartworm preventive and not administering it to their pets or they only did it for only a few months out of the year. As a result, despite years of testing and treating pets for heartworms, the overall incidence of heartworms has not declined. Some experts blame this on global warming but most blame it on lack of compliance by pet owners. New research also shows that in some regions of the United States, there may be genetic mutation of heartworms creating resistance to select heartworm preventives. As a result, veterinarians and the pharmaceutical industry have responded by sending monthly email reminders to administer heartworm preventives. Veterinarians recommend purchasing a year’s supply of heartworm preventive to increase compliance. Other recommendations include annual testing for heartworms, reducing exposure to mosquitoes, and pet examinations if any

April 1, 2011

abnormal symptoms are noticed. Together – pet owners and veterinarians we can decrease the prevalence of heartworms and improve the quality of life for our pets.

During times of severe stress on food supplies (i.e. World War I and World War II) people were urged to grow “Victory Gardens.” Cultivation of vegetables, fruits and herbs was encouraged at residences and public parks. Since much farmland and the farmers who produced crops were lost to combat, those able to till land and produce key components of their own meals felt empowered by their own contribution to solving food shortages. As world population grows, more pressure is placed on land use and traditional farming methods. In tandem with this trend, there has also been a rising tide of interest in homegrown produce. Scarcity of farmland and other natural resources such as water supplies in urban settings have triggered a second look into land management including small but productive gardens. Community and school gardens have rapidly multiplied and urban farmers of all ages are now looking seriously at the quality of existing food supplies. One example of this trend is Mission Way Community

Garden, established in 2010 with the help of local nonprofit LEAF (Local Ecology and Agriculture in Fremont). One of the first community gardens in Fremont, its goal is to create a sustainable organic garden open to all individuals in Fremont and surrounding communities. Master Composter, Sarika Rathi, says that through demonstrations and community participation efforts, the garden will “improve the health and welfare of the surrounding community through improved diet, physical activity in gardening and cooking, and strive for a peaceful, just social-economic-food culture. This includes education in sustainable biologic and ecologic gardening techniques that reduce waste byproducts through composting, re-use and recycling.” Mission Community Garden, located next to Mission Way Church on Mission Boulevard in Fremont, has been very successful in its first year of operation. Recycling to supplement the soil with composted materials, the land has produced a crop of leafy green vegetables, potatoes, onions and a myriad of other “farm fresh” foods. With support of volunteers and church members, the garden is entering its second year with an expansion aided by a generous donation of compost by Waste Management,

Inc. Collection of seeds from each successful crop ensures the next generation of plants. Volunteers reap some of the bounty of the land they tend and the remainder is distributed to Tri-City Volunteers for distribution to the community. On Friday, March 11, as church member and volunteer Marie Roher worked to maintain the garden and LEAF associate Bruce Cates drove a tractor to prepare a new plot of land for expansion of the garden, a large Waste Management truck filled with compost donated by the company, stood by poised to unload. Community and school gardens are proliferating throughout the greater Tri-City area. Volunteers and contributions of materials and funds are always welcome. For more information about the Mission Way Community Garden and other LEAF projects, visit www.leafcenter.org.

Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series of articles that will highlight community and school garden efforts in the Southeast Bay Area.

turers Advanced Micro Devices and ATI Technologies were on the verge of a merger in 2006. Despite speculation on the street to the contrary, the deal went through several few weeks later. The tipster “wasn't authorized to tell me,” Smith said. To cover their tracks, Smith said he and others at Galleon were under strict orders by Rajaratnam “to communicate sensitive information verbally or over the phone, but not in written form.” Rajaratnam was arrested in October 2009 and charged with making $50 million off of confi-

dential information - what prosecutors bill as the biggest-ever hedge fund insider trading case. The investigation, which relied on extensive use of wiretaps, has resulted in more than two dozen arrests. Already, nineteen of those arrested have pleaded guilty, and many, including Smith, are cooperating with prosecutors. Smith has told investigators that following Rajaratnam's arrest, the Galleon chief was “very emotional” during an office meeting. He “told the employees that he was a fighter, that he was going to fight,'' according to an FBI

BY TOM HAYS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP), Mar 29 - A wealthy Wall Street hedge fund founder authorized the illicit gathering of inside information about publicly traded technology companies to ``get an edge'' on massive trades that made millions, a cooperator testified Tuesday at an insider trading trial. Adam Smith told jurors that he was hired in 2002 by Sri Lanka-born Raj Rajaratnam's Galleon firm to manage a $100 million fund. Two years later, he said he told the defendant that an Intel executive had of-

fered to leak him advance notice on the computer chip maker's quarterly earnings in exchange for a consulting fee. “I told him exactly what the conversation was,” Smith said of Rajaratnam. “He agreed to it.” The 39-year-old Harvard graduate testified that he regularly sought inside tips to “get an edge” on financial results that were “different from what the expectation on Wall Street was.” The motivation “was to improve the profitability of the firm and to help Raj,” he said. Smith said he helped his boss by passing on a tip from a Morgan Stanley insider who confirmed that tech manufac-

Are you an American Idol fan? Then you have been watching its tenth season since it premiered in January. You’ve probably also noticed a lot of changes with the show. The show has a new format. There are new judges; last season’s Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi have been replaced by rock and roll legend Steven Tyler and actor/singer/producer Jennifer Lopez. Also new this year is the show’s audition process, which has allowed contestants as young as 15 years old to try-out. At her present age of 16 years, current American Idol finalist, Thia Megia is consistently appears composed and professional. Her vocal range and prowess belies the fact that she is one of the youngest contestants in the show’s history. On January 30, 1995, Thia (Thialorei Lising Megia) was born in Hayward to Filipinoemigrants, Cynthia and Loreto Megia. She attended Eden Gardens Elementary through the six grade. Thereafter, she and her family relocated to Mountain House (located between Livermore and Tracy), where she is being homeschooled. Thia has been singing ever since she was a toddler and she hasn’t stopped. “When I was

summary of Smith's account. Smith also has claimed he saw Rajaratnam's brother remove documents from Rajaratnam's office on the morning of the arrest, and later pressured him to stay quiet. After secretly pleading guilty last year, Smith agreed to record phone calls with targets of the far-reaching securities fraud probe. He said the FBI coached him on how “to get the person on the other end of the call to say something specific.” None of the tapes were played on Tuesday. Smith was to return to the witness stand on Wednesday.

six years old, I was invited to my very first concert as an opening act for Rey Valera, a famous singer/songwriter in the Philippines. This was in San Jose, CA,” she stated. She participated in and won several singing competitions, performed the national anthem at local sports venues, and made an appearance on a TV show (Showtime at the Apollo) when she was 13. If her face seems vaguely familiar, it’s probably because she was a quarterfinalist on America’s Got Talent in 2009. Later that year, she performed at the David Foster and Friends concert in San Jose, where she met and became friends with another young Filipino singing sensation, Charice. Now, Thia is one of the 11 finalists – giving her a guaranteed spot on the show’s summer concert tour. Week after week, so many of us tune in to American Idol. We are captivated by the drama; the shocking heartbreak when a favorite contestant is voted off and the elation of a fulfilled dream when the winner is finally chosen. Thia’s favorite quote is, “We are all as much as we can dream.” Perhaps we should all dream as much as we can. American Idol airs Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. on the Fox channel.

BY JULIET WILLIAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), Mar 29 - Gov. Jerry Brown ended budget negotiations Tuesday with Republican lawmakers, casting doubt over what steps he and the Legislature will take to close the rest of California's deficit. Brown issued a statement saying he had halted talks days after GOP leaders released a list of 53 demands they said had to be met in exchange for their support for a special election. The Democratic governor and majority Democrats wanted to ask California voters in June to extend temporary tax increases enacted two years ago as part of their solution to close the deficit. Brown said he supports some of the reforms sought by Republican lawmakers, including a state spending cap, changes to the pension system for public employees and streamlining business regulations. But he said after progress was made on those issues, the Republicans issued a much longer wish list that included items not related to the state

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

budget debate and corporate tax breaks that would cost the state billions of dollars a year. The governor concluded that further talks would be fruitless. “Each and every Republican legislator I've spoken to believes that voters should not have this right to vote unless I agree to an everchanging list of collateral demands,” Brown said in his statement. State Sen. Anthony Cannella, one of five Republicans who had been talking with Brown in recent weeks, responded by saying he also does not see a path to compromise. Cannella, R-Ceres, blamed public employee unions, trial attorneys and other Democratic Party supporters for their “refusal to challenge the status quo” on GOP priorities that include pension reforms, a hard cap on state spending and measures to promote job creation In ending the talks, Brown said he will focus his efforts in the coming weeks on “speaking directly to Californians and coming up with honest and real solutions to our budget crisis.” His office did not immediately return a telephone call or emails seeking more information. Two Republican votes in each house of the Legislature are needed to place a ballot measure before voters. Brown had been negotiating with five Republican state senators during the past few weeks, but the talks deteriorated over the weekend after the Senate GOP leadership offered its list of demands.

BY TOM KRISHER AP AUTO WRITER With gas prices rising and instability in the Middle East, the thought of an electric car in the garage might be getting more appealing. Before you jump for the new technology, though, make sure your garage is ready to be a refueling station. Depending on which car you buy and how old your home is, it could cost a couple thousand dollars to prep the garage so you can charge a car quickly enough to take off for work in the morning with a full battery. Then again, it could cost nothing at all. Start with the age of the home. Older houses may not have enough juice to handle an electric car. Fifty years ago, who would have thought we'd be plugging in cars at night? So the garage may have to be rewired. According to experts, you need at least a 12-amp circuit to charge a car in a reasonable amount of time. You also need a circuit in the garage with little or nothing else on it. Anything else drawing power from the same circuit can slow the charging. Even if you have a dedicated circuit in the garage, it still may not work for you. Most garages have standard 120-volt outlets.

But a dedicated 240-volt outlet, similar to the kind that powers an electric dryer, can cut the charging time in half. That's important depending on the electric car you buy. Two mass-market electric cars, the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf, have different power systems and different charging needs. The Leaf is all electric and can go up to 100 miles on a single charge. But it needs more juice than the Volt to refill the batteries. It takes eight hours to recharge a Leaf even with a 240-volt circuit, double that at 120 volts. The Volt can only go about 40 miles on battery power, but it has a small gas motor on board that can keep the car going when the battery runs out. With its smaller battery pack, it can be recharged in 10 hours even on 120 volts, five hours or less at 240. GM estimates that recharging the Volt will add no more than about $1.50 per day to your electric bill, based on the national average electricity cost of 11 cents per kilowatt hour. AeroVironment, the company that makes charging stations for Nissan, recommends outfitting your garage with a special 240-volt station. The basic station begins charging when you plug the car in; a

April 1, 2011

smart station can start charging later in the evening when the load on the power company grid is lower. Either way, you'll need an electrician who knows about car charging to figure out your needs and hook the 240-volt station to a dedicated 40-amp circuit, said Kristen Helsel, vice president of electric vehicle solutions for AeroVironment. “This is no different than installing an appliance or something else,” she said. “We need to take the power from your breaker box and run it to where you want the charging station installed.” Charging stations also are available from other manufacturers. Helsel said it will cost about $2,000 to buy the dock and standard installation services by an electrician when done through AeroVironment and a Nissan dealership. The Volt, however, may not need anything. If you have a dedicated circuit in your garage, General Motors, which makes the car, recommends charging the car first on 120 volts before spending the cash on a 240-volt charging station. “Most cars are parked more than 10 hours,” said Britta Gross, GM's director of electricontinued on page 33

electric car - continued from page 32 cal infrastructure.”If I were a consumer, I would always try 120 first, and if you're not satisfied, then you can consider the 240-volt upgrade.” The Volt has a setting that lets the owner pick the time by which the car has to be recharged fully, and the car can wait to start charging. The Leaf has a timer so the owner can set on and off times for charging based on the day of the week. The Volt charger from GM costs $495, and about $1,500 to install, although it could be more depending on how much work is needed at the house, Gross said. And whether you need a special charging station depends on how far you drive. If you go only 20 miles a day, a 120-volt outlet will work for either car because the battery doesn't have to be fully charged every night.

Gross said she's working to change building codes so that all garages have 240-volt outlets to charge cars, but she conceded that will take years. Many auto industry analysts say it will be years before electric cars are in a lot of garages because cars powered by internal combustion engines will continue to get more efficient. A 120-volt outlet wouldn't work for James Brazell, 84, of Asheville, N.C., one of the first people in the country to buy a Volt. He didn't want to use any gasoline, yet he makes several short trips per day, and on some days, when he attends class at the University of North Carolina Asheville, he will drive 51 miles, more than the Volt's electric range. At first, he used the standard outlet in the garage of his home at a retirement community, but

has swelled by about 23,000 since 2000, making it one of the fastest-growing places in the city. Virginia Lam, a publicist and former City Hall operative who moved into a newly converted residential building on Wall Street in 2006, said the site is a source of inspiration, rather than fear or gloom. “It's pretty amazing,” she said of the new towers rising from the 16-acre hole created by the attacks. "I feel like, being a New Yorker who was here on 9/11, and who has worked for the Fire Department and for the city, I think it is always in the back of my mind, but it's

NEW YORK (AP), Mar 29 - After the Sept. 11 attacks, there were grim questions about the future of the shaken, dustcovered neighborhoods around the World Trade Center. Would residents flee uptown or to the suburbs? Would the epic job of rebuilding lower Manhattan be too much to bear? Who would want to live so close to a place associated with such horror? As it turns out, plenty of folks. Census figures released last week show that the number of people living near ground zero

he ended up using a half-gallon of gasoline in four days. Then the charger he ordered from GM arrived at a cost of $530 including shipping. An electrician in his community installed it for an estimated $300, although he hasn't received the final bill. Now he plugs the car in after short trips. ``Pretty much I top it up every time I bring it into the garage,'' he said. Before the charging station, the 120-volt outlet didn't charge his car much between trips, he said. Even though he's a retired oil company executive, Brazell knows that the country will need to change the way it gets around because oil is a finite resource. And he likes driving by gas stations. “It makes me feel good, especially when gasoline went up 30 cents a gallon the day I got the car back here.”

not something that dominates my thinking. I go about living my life.” About 45,750 people now live in the part of Manhattan south of Chambers Street, which encompasses ground zero. That is more than twice as many as there were during the last census. There was also significant growth a little farther uptown. In all, 82,137 people were counted as living south of Canal Street, 15 blocks north of the trade center. That is an increase of 43 percent from 2000 in an area that includes the Ficontinued on page 37

The Next Play/Mike Smith Foundation Tournament, part of the series, was played the weekend of March 26-27 at Dream Courts, Hayward’s 400,000-square foot, indoor sports facility. Ninety teams from all over California competed for first place in the boys under-8 all the way up through varsity on Dream Court‘s seven basketball courts. Michael Cage, a retired NBA basketball player (L.A. Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers and N.J. Nets), who was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2008, coaches both a boys U-14 and a girls U-12 travel basketball team. “I think Dream Courts is a great facility. It is spacious and of such high quality, it deserves attention. I was taken aback by the number of courts, the layout and how many kids are here; activity, health, fitness and the young are what community is all about,” stated Cage. “The Hayward community might not be my community but it is mine … I believe communities are all one.”

The community should support this venue.” Milstead isn’t just preaching about Dream Courts. He is walking the walk, too. His Oakland Soldiers will host the Drew Gooden Spring Extravaganza Tournament at Dream Courts April 15 to 17.

We didn’t deliver. We shall return to the lab, correct our formula and maximize our defense,” said Williams. But that’s not the priority of Berkeley Magic.

SUBMITTED BY TPC STONEBRAE, HAYWARD California-based Fresh Express returns as title sponsor for the San Francisco East Bay Area's only PGA Tour-sanctioned event, the Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward. "After the huge success of last year's tournament, partnering with the PGA to sponsor the Fresh Express Classic proved to be an ideal fit with our focus on helping consumers enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle," said Joe Huston, president of Chiquita Fresh North America. "We’re excited to have another great opportunity to reinforce our message about the quality and freshness of Fresh Express and Chiquita, as two of the strongest brands in produce," Huston added. "And of course we’re looking forward to renewing our relationship with football legend Jerry Rice, as part of our team at the Fresh Express Classic."

Rice, elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, is a fitness and nutrition disciple. At age 48, he is not only serving as tournament host, but is again competing against the

Nationwide Tour pros in the official 72-hole championship. Rice made his debut in tour competition at last year's Fresh Express Classic but hopes to make the cut this year. "It is gratifying to have Fresh Express return as title sponsor," said Matt Fong, principal managing director of Stonebrae LP, which again is the tournament’s presenting sponsor. "Fresh Express’ participation will enhance the significant contribution to the many local

need-based nonprofits that benefit from our event." Last year's tournament raised more than $125,000 for local charities. “We’re pleased to see this great partnership continue through 2011 between the PGA Tour, Fresh Express and TPC Stonebrae," said Bill Calfee, president of the Nationwide Tour. "Fresh Express’ sponsorship will again contribute to the growing popularity of the event throughout the Bay Area." The Fresh Express story began in the roaring ’20s, when its founder, a California produce visionary named Bruce Church, returned to his hometown roots and began working in the Salinas Valley produce industry. With that same pioneering spirit, Fresh Express created the first ready-to-eat packaged garden salad available in grocery stores nationwide in 1989. Today, the company's dedication to freshness continues to "green up" family menus with winning combinations of fresh salads.

tuous times today, creative solutions are needed more than ever to overcoming our challenges. Theatre also teaches life lessons that cannot be taught on a whiteboard or from a textbook. With time-consuming rehearsals, many auditions and weekends spent putting a production together, theatre can be a very demanding activity. For example, I was recently in my school’s fall production of A Christmas Carol. With my challenging academic classes in school, I learned to manage my time by studying backstage and prioritizing my activities. Thespians are taught the enduring ability to balance theater and academics. Legislative responsibility to the arts in California is essential. Theatrical arts are at the very core of our Golden State, for they have both helped forge and shape California into the innovative, progressive, and leading state of our nation! Education without theatre is impossible to imagine because theatre supports the many lessons students learn on the odyssey from kindergarten to college. My thespian family has taught me on my quest to dream big and persevere, whatever may come. As they say, “The show must go on!” Aadil Vora is a 16-year old student who attends Irvington High School in Fremont. His essay won the California Thespian Advocacy Essay competition.

Westra exudes excitement when relating how she was notified of the honor. “Mr. Wieckowski emailed me and then called a few weeks ago while I was away in Tahoe with my family and friends. He told me that he wanted me to be his ‘Woman of the Year’ and asked if I would accept. Of course I said ‘yes,’ although I had to have my friend pinch me to believe it!”

Honorees were escorted to a brunch in the basement of the Capitol where Westra met the Secretary of State, Debra Bowen. Then she was taken to the floor of the Assembly; when District 20 was called, Mr. Wieckowski walked her down the aisle to be congratulated and given a beautiful framed certificate. Family and friends watched on from the gallery. Then Westra was able to sit

mont, Newark, Union City, Milpitas and parts of Pleasanton, Castro Valley, Hayward and San Jose. Wieckowski has seen Westra volunteer at a number of events and is aware of her community activism. “She’s one of those people who goes out of her way not to get noticed, yet she’s always there helping out. She does a variety of activities for the community. My idea of Woman of the Year is, it should be recognizing sort of the unsung heroes,” says Wieckowski.

The annual ceremony took place on the floor of the State Assembly on March 21. “Taking it all in was remarkable and memorable. I don’t do what I do for any recognition, so it was hard for me to share the news,” she says. Completely surprised and shocked to be recognized by a local politician for the work she does in the community, Westra adds, “I never expected an honor such as this, so my shock about it lasted until I walked down the floor of the Assembly. It was so cool!”

In the shell-shocked months after the attacks, the Financial District became a ghost town when workers left for the day. Now it is teeming with people around the clock. Grocery stores have opened. Three new schools have opened up in four years. Briefcase-carrying stockbrokers now share

Near the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, work was recently completed on the tallest apartment tower in the Western Hemisphere, a 76-story, 900unit skyscraper designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Growth downtown has far exceeded the rate elsewhere in the city. The 2010 census put the city's population at 8.18 million, up 2.1 percent from 2000.

The Legislature invites one nominated woman from each Assembly and Senate district to come to the Capitol and be honored for their accomplishments. “I am truly honored to represent AD 20 as Woman of the Year,” states Westra. “I will continue to serve my community’s local public schools as an involved citizen, Board member of the Fremont Education Foundation (FEF), Board member of the Fremont Unified District Teachers Association (FUDTA), and as a Niles teacher.” Among these aforementioned involvements, Westra is the past president of the Fremont Education Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to enhancing the educational programs and opportunities for Fremont schools. She was also a tireless supporter of Measure K, a parcel tax, recently passed by Fremont voters to provide more stable funding for education over the next five years. Westra is appreciative of the support she has received from her husband, daughter, parents, fellow teachers and associates at FEF and FUDTA. “It [to serve the community] is what I was taught to do as a child by my grandmother. She often quoted JFK “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Weickowski adds, “Sherea Westra is a great example of an educator who goes the extra mile to help her students, her teaching colleagues and her school district. The people of Fremont are fortunate to have a leader like Sherea who is willing to get involved in projects that will improve the educational opportunities for FUSD students.” Summing up her response to the recognition Westra comments, “There is so much more to be done for the students of FUSD, and I look forward to working with so many other dedicated citizens to make FUSD schools the schools of excellence that they are known for.”

People have been lured to Manhattan's southern tip by a number of things. Battery Park City, the planned community created on landfill at the edge of the Hudson River in the 1980s, is cut off from the car traffic that surges through the rest of Manhattan and is ringed by playgrounds and esplanades with exhilarating views of the harbor. Before the attacks it was a work in progress, with a large section still unbuilt. Over the past decade, though, it has matured and filled up, finally becoming the community its designers envisioned in the 1970s. Several of the area's public schools have a solid reputation. The area still isn't on par with other parts of the city when it comes to amenities like street parking or places to buy fresh vegetables, but things have been improving. New Battery Park City resident Theresa Purcell said its

isolation - it is one of the few places in the city that really feels as if it is on an island - is one of the things that attracted her. "It is like a hidden little community," she said. "You are in the big, bad city," but still a "little world away." Across much of the area, there are few remaining signs of the damage done by the terror attacks. Even the tumult of construction at the trade center site barely interrupts the daily flow of residents, office workers and tourists through the neighborhood. "People should be proud of the fact that we rebuilt this neighborhood," Menin said. New Yorkers could have abandoned their experiment in downtown living after 9/11, but it didn't happen. "I think just the opposite happened. It proved our resilience." sss

BY DENNY STEIN CNN, BBC, ABC, MSNBC, Al Jazeera: hour after hour day after day, images of the historic uprising in Egypt filled TV screens around the world. In living rooms from California to Delaware, Cuba to Iraq, waves of protesters washed across the general consciousness, back and forth, in and out of Tahrir Square; the people, the police, and the army, pushing and pulling. In the midst of this tide of humanity were Lynn Barnett of Danville (formerly of Fremont), who had gone to the Middle East for her 70th birthday, and her sister-in-law, Stephanie Barnett who was turning 50 while traveling. The Barnetts arrived in Cairo on January 23. Like the CIA and other government agencies, they hadn’t a clue as to the historical significance of the protests happening in Egypt. “After all, there’s always someone demonstrating somewhere in the world,” said Lynn. Their hotel? The Ramses Hilton, 36 stories overlooking the Egyptian Museum and Tahrir Square. It was from a balcony at this same Hilton that news reporters such as Richard Engel and Brian Williams of NBC News broadcast confrontations of Egyptian army tanks trying to keep the protestors and pro-Mubarak forces apart.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Lynn and Stephanie started their vacation in a traditional fashion. They spent January 24th at Giza marveling at the pyramids, huge and ancient, still guarding the Egyptian desert. Smaller pyramids and the mammoth statue of Ramses

such as Down with Mubarak, Leave!, and Muslim + Christian = Egypt, protestors were unarmed, peaceful, but adamant. Lynn reported that the demonstrators were in earnest and “the police were out in force with their intimidating riot gear – horrible black uniforms and metal shields.” The police would chase the crowd, then pull back, and the crowd would re-form. From their room, Stephanie and Lynn had a front row seat to history. The hotel staff would not let them go out, and even stopped the taking of pictures, pulling Lynn and her camera back from the entrance with an admonishing,

“Madam!” But the intrepid women did go out and speak to people in the vast crowd, amazed at the bravery of protestors. One man confessed, “They have seen our faces, they would shoot us dead but we want freedom.” At first the crowd was only men, then

gradually they were joined by women and children, whole families of protestors. As tear gas became more intense, and the death toll multiplied, the two women decided it was time to leave Cairo. There was a train leaving Cairo for Luxor in the south. The morning of Wednesday, January 26, Lynn & Stephanie Barnett got into a taxi and headed for the nearby train station. Scared and hunkered down in the back seat, it took two hours of harrowing side-street driving, skirting army tanks and doubling back, to get to the station. Finally, they boarded an all-night train for Luxor. Lynn admits that next time she will take the more private and comfortable sleeper train, but this time they were grateful just to be out of Cairo. Only later did they realize that theirs was the last train to Luxor, an unusual but welcome birthday present for Lynn. For a short time, Luxor was quieter than Cairo. They had leisure time to visit the Luxor Temple, “huge and incredible,” and see the Avenue of Sphinxes, where 1000 giant ram-headed statues of the Sphinx line nearly three miles between the sacred cities of Luxor and Karnack. “Maybe,” mused Lynn, “what people do without TV is build!” There were not a lot of tourists in Luxor, and Stephanie made “friends” with a guard at the

April 1, 2011

Karnack Temple complex. A little baksheesh opened a lot of doors. These were rooms, Lynn related, “…that had never seen the sun and whose colored reliefs were still vivid. Our guard took Stephanie’s hand and began leading us around, unlocking gates and doors until we were on mental overload. He unlocked so many off limit places that he had to bribe another guard . . . We even saw the tools and plans of archeologists who were actively reconstructing the reliefs in various locked areas.” Three days in Luxor, filled with the sights of “the world’s greatest open air museum” had not erased the fact that Egypt was in turmoil and they still needed to get out somehow. It became clear that “All the trains had been discontinued, the banks closed, the internet was down, no international phones were working, and no airlines were flying.” In the midst of all these worrying circumstances, though, they were offered a felucca ride across the Nile to a banana plantation on a small island. Having tea in the green gardens set amongst remnants of ancient civilizations was a sharp contrast to the evening where “dinner included protestors, police, and tear gas.” Few in the States were aware that the Egyptian Revolution was not contained to Cairo and

Aswan. But the balloon ride adventure was canceled, the hired car had difficulty finding gas, Stephanie was threatened with arrest for photographing a tank, the sacred temples of Abu Simbel were off limits, in fact all the fabled sites of Egypt were closed… tight. All except the Temple at Edfu, sitting on a rise overlooking the broad river valley, preserved for centuries high above the Nile floodwaters. Here the current mas-

Stephanie were not living their usual daily life and, in fact, life itself was a bit more iffy than they were used to. Now stranded in Aswan, with no sightseeing possible, the time had come to leave Egypt. Assumptions that there would be US Embassy personnel in Luxor and Aswan proved to be mistaken. And at this point the destination was totally open, since trains and planes were not operating, automobiles needed gas, and even the boats that cross the Red Sea to the Sinai Peninsula were suspended. As Stephanie was declaring that she would take any form of transport except a camel across

sive Temple of Horus dates back to 237 BC, but it is said that the first sanctuary, in prehistoric times, was a grass hut enclosing a statue of the falcon-headed god, son of Isis and Osiris. Time in Egypt seems to be mythical, and the size of structures is legendary. It is a combination that makes the “civilized” traveler ponder the petty worries of daily life. But Lynn and

the desert, the phone rang in the hotel room. It was the proverbial cavalry to the rescue. American Embassy personnel had flown in, from the Sudan to Aswan, to evacuate civilians who wanted to get out. Interestingly, the tour groups had all gotten their people out of the country, but the Barnetts had been traveling on their own, without the resources of seasoned expedition companies. Lynn admitted it was one of those “duh” moments – no wonder there were no tourists

that all major cities had demonstrators clashing with police. With their sense of humor, and self-preservation, intact, the intrepid Barnett women decided they had had enough of the pesky protestors, the police nuisance, and indiscriminate tear gas. They hired a car to take them further south to Aswan. The morning of January 30th a birthday balloon ride had been arranged, with just enough time to leave for

in the bazaars and restaurants. Embassy officials asked if they could leave the next day, so the ladies checked their calendars and declared they would be free to travel! Cautioned to stay in their hotel, there was no certain destination as yet; the possibilities included Athens, Istanbul or Cypress. Wait time was spent in the hotel lobby and turned into a children’s party with the Egyptian kids who were also waiting to evacuate. Chador and burqa clothed mothers shyly watched as their offspring gathered around Stephanie and sang American nursery rhymes, joking and testing her Egyptian language skills. But there is no free lunch, and negotiations for flights out of Egypt were handled by embassy personnel who insisted on getting blank promissory notes from each traveler. The bargaining went on and on until finally, the $100 flight was purchased for $700 each. They were on their way to Amman, Jordan. The evacuees were greeted by smiling American Embassy personnel with snacks and cash and hotel lists, and the feeling of relief was palpable, only to be outdone by the chance to take a shower and stretch out for a worry-free rest. Also in order were phone calls to home and perhaps, just perhaps, a few more Middle East-

ern wonders to take in before final take-off. In four days the two Barnett women managed to squeeze in the ancient Roman city of Jerash, built 2000 years ago during the time of Alexander the Great, tea by the Dead Sea overlooking the Golan Heights and Jerusalem, and finally the fabled rose-pink city of Petra where “for 7000 years people lived inside rooms carved into the mountains.” Now one of the Seven Wonders of the World, fabulous Petra was the film location for Harrison Ford’s movie, The Temple of Doom. Lynn and Stephanie Barnett spent their last evening at happy hour, in the hotel bar in Amman. In Jordan almost everyone speaks English, quite well. Talking with the local Jordanians, sipping their Margaritas, Lynn and Stephanie both promised that this may have been their first adventure in the Middle East, but it would not be their last.
