right to vote. How have we as a state, and a nation, been impacted by the involvement of women in the political arena? The movement to grant women the right to vote in the United States began in the mid1800s. But the Civil War and the end of slavery soon over-
shadowed initial campaigns in New York. In 1869 two organizations emerged to fight with more urgency for women’s rights: the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association. They eventually merged to become the National
American Woman Suffrage Association and campaigned at state and national levels for the right of women to vote, hold office, and own property. Two women in particular were most prominent in the

West coast high school students to attend Air Academy in Wisconsin SUBMITTED BY PAUL BUENROSTRO The 47th annual Hayward Air Rally, the longest continually-held proficiency flying event in North America, has selected three California and Oregon teenagers to receive fully-paid scholarships, to include tuition and roundtrip airfare, to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) Air Academy for the summer 2011 program. The winners of the three scholarships are Dylan Murphy, a student at Castro Valley High School in Castro Valley, Kyle Wimmer of Foothill High School in Palo Cedro, California, and Paige Westoby of Mountain View High School in Bend, Oregon.
The Air Academy is located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and is an aviation-oriented in-residence summer camp for students to develop and explore their interest in aviation. These camps provide the foundation for a lifelong love of aviation as well as the opportunity to create friendships with fellow aviation enthusiasts. The annual Air Rally is staged by the non-profit Hayward Air Rally, Inc., Originally conceived by the City of Hayward’s Mayor in 1964, the Hayward Air Rally’s primary charter is to enhance general aviation safety by encouraging aircraft pilots to stay proficient in basic flight and fuel management techniques. The annual Air Rally will next be conducted on June 9-10, 2011, starting from the Hayward Executive Airport and continuing over a challenging and competitive route to Redding, California, with an ultimate destination this year of Bend, Oregon. For more information about the EAA Air Academy, visit www.eaa.org/airacademy or call (888) 322-3229. For more information about the Hayward Air Rally, visit www.hwdairrally.org

SUBMITTED BY CRISTINA TORRES Tri-City Health Center (TCHC) was awarded a 2:1 Challenge grant totaling up to $92,250 over a multi year period, February 2, 2011 through August 31, 2012 by the Sobrato Family Foundation. This grant will support the renovation and place costs of the Mowry Clinic site. The first year's unconditional grant totaling $45,000 represents flexible funding supporting TCHC's general operating costs. TCHC is expected to raise and receive matching funds in the amount of $45,000 through new or increased cash donations from individuals, corporations or foundations between 2/1/11 and 12/31/11 to receive the grant's second year conditional funding totaling $47,250. "Tri-City Health Center is grateful and acknowledges the Sobrato Family Foundation for their generous as well as visionary partnership in providing a 2:1 matching challenge grant. This is a win-win opportunity for TCHC, potential donors as well as the TCHC community to leverage monetary donations from this point forward to double the impact. That means that every dollar pledged to TCHC will turn into $2 dollars", said Jim Hudson, TCHC's associate development director. The Sobrato Foundations challenge grant, along with the funding raised through donations will help TCHC improve clinical sites and services, resulting in overall improvements to quality health care for the community. TCHC invites all partners and the community to join in meeting this grant challenge, by pledging one-time and recurring donations at http://www.tricityhealth.org/contribute/main.php.

two victims of money as they were walking from the subway sandwich shop located at Fremont Boulevard and Mowry Avenue. One suspect carried a gun and the other had a knife.

He found one of them in possession of a bag of marijuana. Officer Manrique is investigating the case.
Police are looking for two suspects in connection with an attempted residential burglary on Logan Drive on Monday, April 4. The victim arrived home and walked through his front door. He was immediately confronted by a Hispanic male adult, 6’03” tall with a heavy build. The male simulated reaching for a gun in his waistband. The homeowner allowed the male to leave and spotted a second male jumping out of the bedroom window. The suspects may have escaped in a vehicle. Officer Snyder investigated. On Monday, April 4 police investigated an assault with a deadly weapon: Two women, formerly involved in a relationship, had a confrontation at Labor Ready where the victim worked.

ave you ever felt like someone was watching you? Well, that just might be the case. Video surveillance is an effective tool in deterring crime and to publicize private video surveillance, Fremont Police are adding a new Neighborhood Crime Watch sign. Believed to be a true partnership between police and the community, video surveillance allows private businesses and residents to take a proactive stance in fighting crime.

attractive to homeowners. “In November several residents approached us about video surveillance and asked if we could look at additional sign options
lance system combines video, wireless access and physical presence to help deter criminal activity in the community. “The new sign option to our Neighborhood Crime Watch Program is an effort to further deter crime,” said Geneva Bosques, Community Engagement Manager, Fremont PD. “Over the last couple of years, we have been experiencing a growing trend of residents installing personal video surveillance cameras on the outside of their homes,” she said. The decline in price and easy to install plug ‘n play wireless systems make video surveillance
as part of the Neighborhood Crime Watch (NCW) program in the effort to publicize the use of private surveillance in residential neighborhoods,” said Bosques. As recent as last month, residents in the south end of Fremont were able to provide police with a video that led to the arrest of several burglary suspects. “While we cannot completely prevent crime, video surveillance certainly contributes to making the City a safer place to live and work,” said Bosques. Members of the Community Engagement Unit met with a group of Block Captains earlier
this year and together, came up with a new sign to meet this need. “We are now excited to offer the new “Neighborhood Under Private Surveillance” sign. The sign is now available to all current NCW groups who have at least one resident on their block utilizing video surveillance,” said Bosques. That resident will be required to provide us with their name, address, email, and the specific location of their camera. This information will go into our NCW database to be used only by law enforcement for the purpose of solving crimes. “We would also welcome, encourage and accept the information from anyone else who is utilizing video surveillance as we see it a significant benefit in our NCW program,” said Bosques. If you aren’t currently a member of a NCW program, but have private surveillance system and are interested in this sign, please contact one of our Community Engagement Specialists. “We have received requests for about 40 signs since sending out the Nixle message last week,” she said. The cost for the sign will be $8 each. Community Engagement Specialists Karen Blount and Martha Matthiesen will be taking all requests and the required contact information. For North Fremont, north of Stevenson Boulevard please contact Martha Matthiesen (510) 790-6979 or mmatthiesen@fremont.gov. For South Fremont, south of Stevenson Boulevard please contact Karen Blount (510) 790-6689 or Kblount@fremont.gov. Once ordered, it’s estimated that it will take approximately four weeks to make and install the sign.

Movie Review
Born to be Wild 3D
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, “Born to be Wild 3D” is an inspiring story of love, dedication and the remarkable bond between humans and animals. This film documents orphaned orangutans and elephants and the extraordinary people who rescue and raise them—saving endangered species one life at a time. Stunningly captured in IMAX 3D, “Born to be Wild 3D” is a heartwarming adventure transporting moviegoers into the lush rainforests of Borneo with world-renowned
primatologist Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, and across the rugged Kenyan savannah with celebrated elephant authority Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick, as they and their teams rescue, rehabilitate and return these incredible animals back to the wild. Rated: G Runtime: 40 mins Exclusively in IMAX® theaters

ife Cornerstones will acknowledge important events that occur during the cycle of life in our community.

Although every attempt will be made to include announcements in a timely manner, since TCV is published bi-weekly, submissions received after Friday of the week preceding a distribution date may not be published until a later issue. Please contact TCV at (510) 494-1999 or email tricityvoice@aol.com for submissions or further information. Free listings are limited to residents and families of the Greater Tri-City Area.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
BY J. DENNIS WOLFE
I
want to share what can happen when things spin out of control. I will not reference by name any business entity or person involved so let’s call the client JohnDoe. This case illustrates the importance of retaining all documents regarding your medical care. JohnDoe had comprehensive health care cost protection coverage through a major national union. Due to personal health problems, he had to take time off from his work twice within a year and was correctly terminated each time from the employer's group billing. Fortunately, his union continued to provide coverage as a disabled employee. Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requirements mandate this. Unfortunately, this administrative maneuver is where JohnDoe’s problem began. During both short periods of continued coverage through disability, the employee’s spouse became sick; her hospital bills amounted to several hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sadly, she passed away. Claims were submitted to the union's insurance carrier and were initially paid. However, a
few weeks later, the carrier rescinded those payments saying the disabled employee was not covered during the two months when his wife's medical care costs occurred. The claims-rescinding paperwork was processed despite a letter from union trust fund administrators stating he was covered continuously. The employee did nothing and the issue festered for about two years. When the hospital's collection agency prepared a lawsuit, I was asked to intervene. Following my request for a thorough “re-review" of the matter, the insurance carrier stood firm. It turns out that they were technically correct, but they knew there was a problem. The carrier's law firm clearly knew this and did the one thing they were paid to do… stall! My investigation found that the union was in the process of installing new software systems for enrollment administration. Installation was not going smoothly and significant administrative problems resulted including a lack of timely eligibility reports. The union did not want to admit that internal administrative issues were at the root of JohnDoe’s escalating problem. As claims were denied, time was running out. JohnDoe was about to lose his
house – his only significant asset - as collateral damage of the hospital's collection agency lawsuit. Through communication between my office and other interested parties - the carrier's law firm, medical providers, and the collection agencies preparing legal actions - we were given time to sort through everything. This case was finally resolved without legal action after almost eight months of negotiations. The carrier paid the medical charges, the hospital's collection agency stopped the lawsuit, and the medical providers wrote off what the carrier did not cover. JohnDoe retained his house and future retirement. What saved JohnDoe was documentation. The insurance carrier and the union continued to deny liability until presented with JohnDoe's documentation. Save your paperwork. Ultimately, you are the party responsible for all cost medical expenses you receive, not your union or employer or insurance carrier.
Stay healthy. Stay tuned. Get involved. Learn what is being done. Your life now does indeed depend upon it.

Intermediate Afghan Pashto and Dari language immersion set for CSUEB SUBMITTED BY DIANE DANIEL For the first time, the Hayward campus of California State University, East Bay will offer a Summer Intensive Program in Afghan Languages and Culture focusing on intermediate-level Pashto or Dari/Farsi. Tuition scholarships are available. The 10-week, 16-unit program of evening and Saturday meetings between June 20 and Aug. 27 will include a range of interactive activities both inside and outside of the classroom. Geared to developing listening, reading, speaking and writing skills, the program will include visits to sites in the local Afghan community such as cultural centers, markets, residences and community events where students can experience Afghan culture and practice the languages with native speakers. Haji Razmi, M.A., will teach the Pashto courses, Farid Younos, Ph.D.
will teach the Dari/Farsi, and Valerie Smith, Ph.D. will teach the Afghan Diaspora class. “We are excited to offer the classes to college students and people from the community, because it helps Afghan students connect with their cultural heritage and others to learn about these resilient, courageous people who have been at the center of world attention in this last decade,” said Smith, program organizer. CSUEB first offered beginning Pashto and Dari courses in fall 2010 to serve interested persons, including Afghan Americans and people in business, social and human services, and government who are interested in working with Afghans locally or abroad. Among those taking the courses are Naomi De La Cruz, a senior in speech pathology. “I really enjoy this language program. Our teacher is very understanding and I am getting better
with each class. I love the environment of the class as it is very relaxed and welcoming,” said De La Cruz. Summer enrollment requires prior completion of one year (two semesters or three quarters) of firstyear Pashto or first-year Dari, or equivalent knowledge and an age of 16 or more by the first day of class. Students admitted into the summer program may receive full or partial scholarships based on merit, financial need, or both, covering tuition and fees, and/or Saturday excursions and other cultural outings. Campus housing is also available for an additional fee. An application form and complete details, including information on California State University Strategic Language Initiative scholarships, are at: http://www.csueastbay.edu/padlp For more information on the program, contact: Valerie Smith, Ph.D. at valerie.smith@csueastbay.edu (510) 885-2543.

Chavez Day and the end of their Season of Service, Period of Peace. As part of a schoolwide assembly, the Season celebrated the service and nonviolence projects of a dozen campus groups and over 750 students. At San Leandro High School, two packed double assemblies highlighted a number of campus accomplishments; one of them being the Season of Service. Twelve students posed with their Season of Service posters while a video highlighted each of the group’s accomplishments. A video montage followed from the San Leandro Academy of MultiMedia (SLAM), that highlighted their nonviolence contribution—videos on bullying, homophobia, name calling and gossip. Projects at San Leandro High School included SLAM’s “Fast for Nonviolence,” the Social Justice Academy’s “Art is our Weapon” Festival, the Business Academy’s “Nonviolence Poetry Night,” and the Art Department’s creation of nonviolence art. The Graphic Arts classes made posters for every group and a button that served as the Season of Service logo. Both schools highlighted the rich diversity found in San Leandro. Black Student Unions, Latinos Unidos, Asian-Pacific Islander Groups, Gay-Straight Alliances, and Student Governments all participated in calling for campus peace and engaging in service to the community. The Season of Service is coordinated at both campuses by faculty committees and administration.

St. John’s remembers veterans
SUBMITTED BY CICI SUSBILLA PHOTO TAKEN BY PEGGY HORYZA St. John the Baptist student, Mikayla Horyza (6th grade) together with her grandparents, Lou & Peggy Horyza visited the VA Hospital in Livermore on March 16. They were delivering cards that Ms. Bensi’s 7th grade students made for our beloved veterans. Each student made a card with special messages to show them of their love, support, prayers, and to thank them for the sacrifices they’ve made for our country.
A simple act of kindness to cheer ’em up! (Left to Right:) Mikayla Horyza, Recreation Director Marge Jergentz Stout and Lou Horyza

The Assignment of Leases provides that the Agency is authorized to delegate to the City any of the powers or function of the Agency with respect to the undertaking of a redevelopment project, and the City is authorized to carry out and perform such powers and functions. Finally, among other provisions, the Assignment of Leases provides for the City to assume from Agency the Agency’s rights and obligations under leases and rental agreements.

DIRECTOR RICHARD SANTOS SANTA CLARA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
N
ow that the drought is officially over, many people might think that conservation is no longer needed. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. As Governor Brown pointed out, “the demand for water in California always outstrips the supply.” Which is why, here at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, we promote conservation as a way of life. Through our “Save 20 Gallons” campaign, we teach the public that by working together to each save 20 gallons of water a day, we can make a significant difference in our conservation numbers. In fact, the campaign was so successful that last year Santa Clara County residents exceeded our mandatory conservation goal of 15 percent by two whole percentage points. This year we’re only asking for 10 percent voluntary conservation and we’re confident that the community can accomplish these savings. To help homes and businesses reach their conservation goals, we offer a number of programs and unique tools. For instance, the water district has recently improved its Landscape Rebate Program, making it easier for customers in Santa Clara County to take advantage of the rebates. By replacing water-thirsty landscape with water-efficient landscape and/or retrofitting existing irrigation equipment with high-efficiency irrigation
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
equipment, residents and businesses can see significant water use savings. The program has been extremely popular and the district has recently streamlined the process by making it easier for people to apply and shortening the time it takes for applicants to get a rebate for their equipment or landscaping.
Customers do need to prequalify and should not begin their project until they receive a written notice to proceed from the district. This is to help ensure that the project saves water and meets the program criteria. Program details, including the terms and conditions, are available on the Landscape Rebate webpage. For information on other rebates offered by the district, visit our conservation rebates page. To help individuals determine their water usage and identify the best ways for them to save 20 gallons every day, the water district recently introduced a new interactive water-saving calculator on our microsite www.save20gallons.org. The calculator allows site visitors to enter information
about their water-use habits around the house, calculates how much water they are using, and provides simple tips as well as information about waterconservation rebates and services offered by the district. The calculator has been tailor made for Santa Clara County. For example, it calculates landscape water use based on the two distinct micro-climates that exist in the northern and southern parts of the county. To inform people how much they should be using, the calculator also provides information on how much a waterefficient home in the county would use. As you fill in each segment of the calculator, it provides a summary of the results and a comparison between your water consumption and that of a water-efficient home, as well as information on how to improve water-efficiency in your home. While you are at the website, don’t forget to check the interactive house that allows visitors to explore areas of the house and garden to find ways to save water and learn about relevant rebates and services offered by the district. And remember, just because the drought is over, it doesn’t mean we all shouldn’t do our part to save 20 gallons every day! As always, I am available for questions or comments as your District 3 representative for the northern areas of Sunnyvale and Santa Clara; Alviso; Milpitas; and the north San Jose and Berryessa communities. Feel free to contact me at (408) 234-7707.

That is what the 3rd and 4th grade classes at Lea’s Christian School in Hayward were able to accomplish! At the school’s Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Auction on March 26, the children acted as environmental educators and taught the guests which items were compostable, which were reusable, which were recyclable, and which items were “landfill,” while manning
their recycling center. These students have taken to heart and put into practice the environmental principles they have been taught in their classrooms. They are leaders in their school’s “green lunch club” and encourage the other students to bring lunches in recyclable containers so that they do not generate garbage. Their classroom has a worm box full of healthy worms that devour food scraps. The crowd at the Spaghetti Dinner was amazed at how little garbage was generated and gave the children a round of applause! Lea’s Christian School in Hayward is a non-profit school serving children from preschool through 4th grade. Many alumni of the school attended the dinner and auction. Alumni, many of whom are college graduates, reminisced with the current students and staff. The event was a fundraiser to support the excellent academic and extended care programs that the school offers. Funds from the dinner will be used to enhance the science curriculum as well as the preschool and elementary literacy programs. The event raised over $20,000 as a result the hard work of dozens of volunteers and supporters!

Borders seeking to move HQ out of hometown AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), Apr 06 Borders, a fixture in Ann Arbor, Mich., since opening its first store there in 1971, is planning to move its headquarters out of the city to find cheaper space. Spokeswoman Mary Davis says the company is looking at ways to move its headquarters from Ann Arbor to another space in metropolitan Detroit in an effort to cut costs. The bookseller is trying to reorganize its business in
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The move was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. The Journal says the plan is part of a presentation to creditors taking place Wednesday. Borders filed for bankruptcy protection in February, the victim of increasing competition from online retailers, discounters and ebooks. It is closing about 226 stores nationwide and aims to exit bankruptcy in August or September.
Contra Costa agrees to loan hospital $10M AP WIRE SERVICE SAN PABLO, Calif. (AP), Apr 06 _ Contra Costa County supervisors are loaning a struggling hospital $10 million to keep its doors open. The Contra Costa Times reports that the supervisors agreed unanimously on Tuesday to provide the advance to Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo. But they warned hospital officials that they need to come up with a plan to solve their budget problems and should not expect cash from the county every few years. County officials also gave the 247-bed hospital a $10 million loan in 2006 after it declared bankruptcy. The hospital has repaid that loan with $1.5 million in interest although it is still struggling financially. Interim hospital CEO Dawn Gideon said the county loan will be used to attract up to an additional $10 million in federal funding. ___ Information from: Contra Costa Times, http://www.contracostatimes.com
BY ELLEN GIBSON AP RETAIL WRITER
Erin Abell left a job in finance to volunteer for John McCain's presidential campaign in early 2008. She had hoped to return to the industry after the election, but by then Wall Street was on life support, and Abell had to live off credit cards until joining a friend's startup. So she started working parttime at Banana Republic to help cut her debts. Yet Abell was paid less at age 30 than she made in a retail job in her early 20s. She also says she had to promote high-interest credit cards and sometimes work until 1 a.m. “Management made it very clear they could replace you tomorrow,” Abell says. As the economic recovery gains steam, the retail industry is expected to be one of the strongest for job growth this decade. But the quality of jobs selling clothes, computers and other goods has declined in recent years to the point where few can be classified as careers. Erratic part-time hours often make a second job impossible and complicate the work-life juggle. Pay has shrunk. And the recession created hordes of overqualified job seekers, leaving existing staff with little power to demand better conditions.
With unemployment still high at 8.8 percent, many people feel fortunate to land any job. But not all jobs contribute the same to economic growth. Employers may be hiring more, but they are hiring disproportionately in retail and other service-sector positions with low wages and few benefits. High-paying fields like real estate and finance accounted for 40 percent of the 8.8 million jobs lost from January 2008 to February 2010 but only 14 percent of the jobs created in the year that followed. Lower-paying industries like retail constituted 23 percent of jobs lost but almost half of the recent growth. This shift “could make it much harder for workers to find family-supporting jobs,” says Annette Bernhardt of the National Employment Law Project, who analyzed the data. Even in the “jobless recovery” after the 2001 recession, highpaying industries accounted for nearly one-third of new jobs in the year after the recession ended. Elizabeth Murphy, a recruiting manager for Crate & Barrel, says she's receiving three times as many applications as she did a year and a half ago. The increase reflects, in part, a surge in applications from unemployed real-estate agents, accountants and other professionals.

“In the past, college grads would say, ‘I won't even talk to you if you're paying less than this,’” Murphy says. Stores are under pressure to trim their expenses, and labor, the biggest expense after inventory, is one of the few costs they can control. In 2006, the median hourly wage for retail salespeople was $9.50, the government says. In 2009, the most recent year for which figures are available, that figure was $9.74 - a 4 percent drop after adjusting for inflation and more than $5 less than the U.S. median for all occupations. For full-time retail workers, the median annual wage was $20,510 - half made more, half less. That's well below the federal poverty line for a family of four. The trend is evident in the broader economy. The government's March unemployment report showed that after adjusting for inflation, wages are falling - one reason spending growth has been slow. Retail workers aren't just teenagers seeking pocket money. Much of the industry's work force depends on the income for their livelihood, says James Parrott, chief economist at the Fiscal Policy Institute. In New York City, for example, 78 percent of retail workers are 25 or older, and more than a continued on page 33

third are their family's sole provider, Parrott found. Three of the six occupations expected to grow the most by 2018 are customer-service representatives, food-service workers and retail salespeople, according to government data. Retail is expected to create twice as many positions as software and computer-application engineering. The sector's largest employer, Walmart, already accounts for 1 percent of all U.S. workers. Critics, though, say the company skimps on pay. Last year, Ohio state Rep. Robert Hagan, a Democrat, calculated that Buckeye State taxpayers spend roughly $67 million a year on food stamps and Medicaid for Walmart employees. Spokesman Bill Wertz says the store offers competitive wages and benefits and every day “helps people move off unemployment rolls.” At Walmart and across the country, retail workers are finding it harder to get by, especially lately, because of higher food and gas prices. Connor Skyggen, a recent college graduate who worked full-time in a Macy's jewelry department last year, says his average take-home pay was $240 a week. He had to spend some of that on suits, pressed shirts and shoe shines to meet the dress code. On what was left, "it's really hard to support yourself," he says. Not every retail employee is struggling. At Nordstrom Inc. stores, commissioned salespeople are highly trained, and top performers earn six figures, says spokesman Colin Johnson. But electronics stores that offer workers a cut of sales, like hhgregg and P.C. Richard & Son, have had to lower prices to compete with Amazon.com, squeezing staffers' take-home pay.
“As electronic goods essentially turn into commodities, the commission model is not viable,” says Chris Tilly, who directs the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. The Internet has armed consumers with so much price and product information that stores now need salespeople more to sell extended warranties than to explain how products work. Advances in technology have helped stores optimize workers' schedules, too, so they have more workers on duty during peak sales times without being overstaffed during lulls. But one consequence is inconsistent work schedules for the employees. And workers complain that computers don't weigh factors like seniority or a lengthy commute. Sheena Dixon, 26, a former theft-prevention manager at a Target in New York, said her store “used scheduling as a weapon,” shuffling hours so it was difficult to take a second job or make personal plans. If the store called on a day off and you declined to come in, your hours were slashed, she says. Dixon left the company in January to pursue a real estate career. Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder says scheduling was "thoughtfully crafted to provide flexibility for our team members and excellent service to our guests." High-turnover work forces mean retailers must spend money to recruit and train. Yet those expenses pale compared with the cost of providing benefits, analysts say. The new federal law meant to expand health insurance coverage could make full-time hours even harder to get. Companies will be penalized for not providing insurance - but only for employees who work at least 30 hours.
Securing a promotion, meanwhile, is already a challenge. When Caitlin Kelly's newspaper laid her off, there were few job options for a 50-year-old reporter. So in August 2007 she took a part-time job at a North Face store in suburban New York. Kelly says she consistently beat her sales targets and regular customers asked for her by name. But when an assistant manager position opened up, she says, she was denied an interview. Some stores prefer not to promote from within, believing homegrown managers won't command as much respect from sales-floor workers, says Nikki Baird, an analyst at retail research company RSR. To move up, you often have to be willing to move. What Kelly found most dispiriting, as she writes in her forthcoming book, “Malled,” is that no one ever solicited ideas from her or other staffers. “The people on the sales floor have tremendous knowledge, but the company presupposed we're stupid,” Kelly says. “I would know the minute I unpacked a box whether (it) was going to sell.” The North Face, which sells outdoor gear like all-weather jackets and backpacks, declined to comment. Analysts say overlooked staffers are a problem endemic to the field. Retailers track each purchase to guide marketing and inventory. Yet they make little effort to determine why some staffers are more productive. At most companies surveyed by the National Retail Federation last year, customer-service scores didn't affect sales associates' pay. “Better-performing associates drive sales,” Baird says. “But it's hard to do that analysis to say, ‘Sales were up this week because we had all our A players.’”

Fremont was able to make it to the semifinal round of the tournament, which featured many of the top teams from across Northern California. Illusion, coming off a second-place finish and a regular season record of 10-2 were placed in a bracket alongside teams from Elk Grove and Ukiah Valley. On Saturday morning, March 5, the Illusion were matched up against Elk Grove, in what turned out to be the best weather conditions the team would play in the entire tournament. The Illusion were a little rusty, playing their first game since November, but they still created many scoring opportunities – led by forward Aaryonna Lopez – that just missed, hitting the post several times. Despite the many scoring opportunities, the game ended in a scoreless draw.

Despite being down 3-0, Clovis didn’t quit and came back to make the score 3-2 with six minutes to go. Illusion held off several of Clovis’ lastminute scoring opportunities to advance to the semifinals against Petaluma. In the semifinals, the game would be played in very poor weather conditions with the wind playing a major factor. As it turned out, Petaluma won the coin toss and used the wind to their advantage, making it difficult for the Illusion to clear the ball out of their defense zone. Petaluma put a lot of pressure on the Illusion defense for most of the first half. Despite strong defensive plays from Samantha Malone, Richardson, Prathnadi and Bachelder, and several outstanding saves from Stephens, it wasn’t enough to hold off two late first half goals by Petaluma. Illusion tried to counter in the second half but its efforts fell short. Reaching the semifinals capped an outstanding season for the FC Fremont team which placed first in its bracket; won a quarterfinals game; and completed the season with an overall record of 12-3-1.

BY MIHIR BHAGAT Anytime an athlete is able to play a sport at the varsity level it’s undoubtedly a commendable achievement. In one case a high school athlete has played two varsity sports since his freshmen year of high school and was captain in both -- not to mention he played on multiple premier clubs, winning several awards and achievements along the way. To some, that’s downright remarkable. Yet when evaluating Zaki Sarwary’s decorated athletic career, remarkable may be an understatement. Sarwary is currently a senior at Mission San Jose High School amidst the boys volleyball season and is leading the Warriors to dominance as they rank third in the North Coast Section. Along with his efforts, the team has been rolling through the Mission Valley Athletic League with a perfect 27-0 record over the past three years. The team as a whole is incredibly skilled and they’re poised to make a deep run at the title this year. In previous years, the Warriors were seeded No. 3 in 2010
Page 35
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
and were upset in the first round by No. 6 De La Salle; in 2009, again as the No. 3 seed, Mission fell to No. 1 Foothill in the championship. Zaki said that a lot of the team’s success is a product of the tremendous coaching on the team. “I owe a lot of my accomplishments to my volleyball coaches, Dan Kwon and Daniel Yang, who have helped me progress as both a person and athlete,” he said. His goal is to play his best season yet and take home the trophy. He also plans to coach the sport in the coming years in order to give back to the game. Sarwary was named to the Second Team All-League as a junior and has a legitimate shot at being named to the All-NCS team this year. His talents have caught the eyes of coaches on the next level. Various DIII schools have scouted Sarwary, and a number have offered him scholarships. While he’s undeniably talented on the court, he has a passion for playing soccer as well. “My father played soccer as a child and he was a big influ-
ence on me,” Sarwary mentioned. “That really motivated me to take up the sport.” He began playing in ninth grade for the FC Fremont D1 team and would go on to make the varsity squad as a freshmen. He quickly developed into a top-flight player and decided to test his skills at the next level.
Sarwary joined the Bay Area Premier Soccer League with a semi-pro adult team. Together they seized the national championship of their division in 2009 and would repeat as champions in 2010 as well. At Mission, he was a captain this year after proving himself as a starter at midfield since his

sophomore campaign. The team set the tempo of the season early with a statement victory over last year’s NCS champions. Unfortunately, they suffered a tough blow when Zaki tore his MCL and sprained his ankle midseason. With courage and resiliency, he would come back to help his team finish fourth in league play. He would end with Second Team AllLeague honors. Even though his days playing in high school are over, he’s looking forward to the future. In fact, one day, he aspires to play on the Afghanistan national team. “I want to make my country proud,” he proclaimed. That aside, what’s probably most admirable is that Sarwary takes the term student-athlete to heart. He explained how his parents emphasized the importance of balancing sports and education and how they were always able to keep him focused. He raved about the invaluable role they’ve played in his life. “Without the support of my mom and dad,” Sarwary noted, “none of my accomplishments would have been possible.” Career wise, his interest lies in civil engineering. Even though he remains undecided on which college he’d like to attend for now, he’s keeping his options open. Regardless of where he attends, he intends to play collegiate soccer.

Caltrain raising commuter fares, cutting service AP WIRE SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Apr 06 - Budget woes are forcing Caltrain officials to raise commuter fares and cut service. After dire warnings last month, the San Jose Mercury News says Caltrain scrapped the worst of its proposed cutbacks on Tuesday but will still halt 10 trains, close several stations and raise fares in July. The popular 77-mile Santa Clara County to San Francisco commuter line needs to close a $30 million budget deficit. Fares will rise 25 cents. The proposed 76-train schedule is far better than last month's worst-case scenario that would have had only 48 trains. The Hayward Park Station in San Mateo, Capitol Station in San Jose and Bayshore stop at the Brisbane-San Francisco line will be closed entirely. --Information from: San Jose Mercury News, http://www.sjmercury.com

MSJE entered 10 players in this very tough section and scored 15 points, 4.5 points ahead of second-place Weibel. (The team score is the total points scored by the top four players on a team.) The second four players on the MSJE team scored 12 points. If these players were allowed to be a second MSJE team they would have won the second place team trophy.

FDNY's "Modified Response" program will be expanded into Brooklyn and Staten Island. It has been in use in Queens since October and has resulted in a 32 percent drop in fire-truck accidents. The program also calls for firefighters to obey all traffic regulations on all calls that are considered non-life threatening and do not involve fires.
NEW YORK (AP), Apr 06 In an attempt to reduce traffic accidents, New York City's fire department is expanding a program to reduce the number of lights and sirens used for non-life threatening responses. Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said Tuesday that the

ighting plays a large role in the success of a room. So many homes I visit are inadequately lit. Sometimes one lamp in the corner is all there is. Other times, there are so many lamps that the room looks like a lighting showroom. The goal with lighting is to create a layered effect, using three different types of lighting—ambient, task, and accent lighting. Ambient lighting allows you to navigate safely and fills the room with a soft glow. Great choices for ambient light are those that bounce light off the walls or ceiling, such as torchiere lamps or wall sconces. A lightcolored ceiling will reflect more light than a dark-colored ceiling. A ceiling fixture that aims light upward can also provide ambient light, but one type of lighting is not enough. A room containing only ambient light
can look flat, with no depth or dimension. Task lighting provides illumination right where you need it. For example, a desk lamp will light up your writing surface, while a swing-arm floor lamp next to the sofa will provide good light for reading. Overhead lighting is generally not good for task lighting because it casts shadows of your head and hands onto your work surface. Accent lighting does just that—it accents certain features of the room. Perhaps you’d like to highlight an art collection or a beautiful fireplace. Use recessed wall-washer lights or track fixtures in the ceiling to direct light onto those items. Also use accent lighting to highlight drapery fabric, as well as interesting wall finishes like wallpaper or faux finishes. Accent lighting should not be the only lighting in the room; instead,
use it in conjunction with ambient lighting. Combining task, accent, and ambient light in a room will assure that your room is beautiful and functional. When planning your lighting, evaluate the activities that will take place in that room. Your living room, for example may benefit from ambient light in the form of two floor lamps, an accent light calling attention to the new marble fireplace, a table lamp highlighting the accessories on the end table, and a task light on the little writing table in the corner. In your dining room, a gorgeous crystal chandelier can provide ambient lighting, but for even more depth and interest, add a pair of lamps on the buffet, and accent lighting to highlight the artwork on the wall. Whenever possible, use dimmer switches to allow for even more lighting combinations.

Movie Review
BY STEVE WORLEY In computer science, source code is text written by programmers to facilitate their work. Programmers define the actions to be
performed by a computer via directions given through the source code, which is automatically translated to binary code that a computer can read. “Source Code” the movie, directed by Duncan Jones, makes an attempt to keep the viewer guessing till the end. Jake Gyllenhaal of “Brokeback Mountain” fame stars as Captain Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot recruited for a top-secret project using experimental technology. At the beginning of the film, Captain Stevens awakens on a fast-moving passenger train with no memory of how he got there. Seated across from him is an unfamiliar woman named Christina, played by Michelle Monaghan. Christina knows Captain Stevens, but Captain Steven has no idea who she is, or what she is talking about. Seeking refuge in the bath-
room, Stevens sees another man's reflection in the mirror; his identification says that he is Sean Fentress, a schoolteacher. At that instant, a massive explosion obliterates the train and
everyone aboard, including Christina and Fentress/Stevens. The next scene cuts to a post-apocalyptic high-tech isolation capsule containing Colter Stevens and a viewer screen containing the image of a uniformed woman named Goodwin, played by Vera Farmiga.
Goodwin is demanding that Colter identify the bomber, but he is confused and has lost all recollection. Goodwin; her superior explains that Colter is on a high-priority mission to identify a bomber who destroyed a commuter train just scant hours earlier. The unknown bomber also plans to kill hundreds of thousands more with a dirty bomb in Chicago. A clandestine government program, codenamed Source Code, allows Captain Stevens to exist for eight minutes as Sean Fentress
in a parallel past reality of the doomed train, in order to solve the puzzle. Each return to the train gives Colter the same eight minutes to discover the bomber's identity. Each trip provides more information, but it takes a life-threatening toll on his mind and body and he has about fifty people from which to root out the terrorist. The more Colter uncovers, the more determined he becomes to prevent the deadly blast from occurring in the first place, no
matter what the cost… unless time runs out first. From the above premise the viewer would not be blamed for thinking that “Source Code'” may be related in some way to the story-line of 1995's “12 Monkeys,” 2010's “Inception,” or a couple of other films dealing with parallel worlds / alternate realities. While “Inception” takes the viewer through a series of dreams within dreams within dreams within dreams, “Source Code” is closer to the time travel reality of “12 Monkeys” with a plot that tries to keep you guessing until the end. “Source Code” is one of those movies that will leave you wondering about the nature of reality itself, without a religious experience and techno babble. A few who are familiar with the sci-fi time travel / parallel universe genre may be able to predict the ending of the movie. Most will not. Rated PG-13 for some violence including disturbing images, and for language Runtime: 93 min
